he's not [that] bad / magdan

episode 30

..

the adrenaline rushing through their heads is what came first, the hysterical screaming came next.

wynton lia shun and dan screamed at the top of their lungs and huddled together, forcefully hugging magnus as the elder lowly grumbled, attempting to push them away.

the plane fell from a high altitude, their last breathing seconds counted down with the passing of their rapid heartbeats. the siren overhead blaring as it glowed red and their suitcases all opening to spill their contents.

"aaah, this is it! we're all gonna die!" dan sobbed, his grip around the darkus brawler growing tighter in which the three brawlers yelled into magnus' ear .

"i guess it'll only be fitting to get some last things off our chest before we go!" the only ventus brawler in the room frantically cried and looked over at his haos brawling friend. "lia! do you remember the embarrassing video of you falling that was leaked by super-evil hackers?"

"Y-yes! yes i do!"

"well there were no hackers! i was the one who posted the video!"

lia's eyes go wide, she lets go of magnus and yanks wynton away from him by his arm "you what?!"

wynton continued sobbing "i know! and i'm sorry but you falling on your butt was so funny..!" 

"are you kidding me right now?! do you know how long random kids wouldn't quit teasing me?!"

"i know i know, i had no idea what i was thinking!"

"and all this time..-" 

"I STOLE MY COUSIN'S CREDIT CARD TO BUY MORE TUMPEE STUFF!" shun cried loudly bringing lia and wynton's argument to a halt. they both narrowed their eyes at him unamused, as did magnus and dan. the blond looked down at his shoes in shame. "y'know i, it pains to live with the burden that i've been stealing masato's money..."

"it kinda sucks this is how we're gonna go, even after we became official." dan sighed, hugging his now boyfriend tighter. "but hey.. at least we're together.."

magnus furrowed his brows and clenched his own fists. was this seriously it? just like that the awesome ones were giving up and pending their doom? the black-haired always viewed less of them but he seriously expected better. "oh no, we are not dying." he growled. 

"we're not?" wynton sniffed.

"no, at least not like this." with a determined face, the tall boy stood up, dragging dan along with him who still clung on. he reacted swiftly and went over to the emergency door and grabbed the five parachutes on the rack. he handed dan a parachute and gave the remaining three to the others.

shun wynton and dan quickly strapped theirs on with lia looking a but uneasy. "oh no, i am not jumping off."

"don't worry, you don't have to." magnus smugly said as he strapped his on.

lia tilted her head curiously. "...huh..?"

to answer the blue haired's question, magnus grabbed his cloak from the floor and pulled out nillious causing her to quickly understand. of course with it in his hands, he had to put it on, so after putting on his dark grey cloak, he holds onto the railing and pulls onto the hatchet of the emergency door causing it to swiftly open.

the awesome ones watched with diligence as their newest member straps on his device and throws out his darkus bakugan. the two headed dragon instantly grew in size and stayed down, waiting for his partner's command.

"everyone! hop on!"

without wasting time, they all did as told and got on nillious before flying out. magnus helped them all get on, grabbing dan's hand and holding onto him once he was on. "ok nillious! get out through the door!"

with a screech in reply, nillious got out and stayed in the air, letting the brawlers watch the plane fall down and crash into the water.

"..." once it hit the big deep blue, it exploded, destroying everything in contained. the ao stayed quiet, their minds racing and wondering what could have been if they didn't make it out in time...

"well.." wynton sighed with relief, breaking the silence with his familiar voice. "if that doesn't paint magnus as a good guy, i dunno what else could.."

lia groaned. "are you seriously still on me for that?!"

when she fumed, the four all laughed in response, lia joining in afterwards.

"thanks for saving our lives magnus, we owe it to you." shun smiled after their quick joyous moment faded.

"of course, we would have all been explosives if it weren't for me." he shrugged, a little irritated he did all the work but they were all shaken up from the event of a plane crash makes sense for them to panic, what else could he have done? "it's strange though.. what could have caused the plane such a turbulence?"

almost right when magnus had asked that, his question was instantly answered. shun's eyes widen and when lia, dan and wynton noticed it, they gasped as well.

magnus rose a brow at their reactions. "what?" could have he done something wrong?

but that was far from the case. with a shakey hand, the four all pointed behind the elder and when magnus turned around. ..

he gasped. a familiar ringing in his ear was the only response he got. suddenly, everything made sense and a terrible feeling of dejavu hit him right in the moment.

what he saw.. could have changed everything for the worse.
