Alibaba x Judal

Child VS Child

Meeting Arba was nothing but shocking. For everyone. But they went past the initial shock soon enough.

Sinbad appearing before them, or more specifically a young Sinbad it was.

While that Sinbad started asking them questions regarding this accursed destiny, Arba was pressing them about the time.

The team work these four manifested at the time was magnificent and quite befitting of the situation. It was four-on-one so the outcome was obvious, but it wasn't.

Despite being cut by Hakuryuu and Judal, Sinbad just regenerated or more like returned to the previous state he was in like nothing had happened. All four looked at him in shock until Arba, being some kind of navigator one could say, explained to them that they had to convince Sinbad to somehow change opinion of the destiny that this word was bound by.

Judal was well aware and could sympathize with Sinbad completely. This was a young Sinbad to begin with. Judal being the one who knew Sinbad the longest of the four and also being someone as bratty as he managed to demonstrate despite his age was the perfect reason for him to be the one to stop this young Sinbad.

"Heh! Wrath and heroes, right? You guys can go on ahead!" Judal said smirking to himself. He had no idea if he could convince Sinbad, actually he had no idea what was the problem with his way of thinking but a child is the only one who can convince another child.

"Judal-kun?" Aladdin exclaimed in surprise.

"I am the best one to deal with this brat, don't you think?" Judal stated smugly.

Alibaba stared at him, not so much in confusion as doubt. Alibaba was well aware of how Judal viewed destiny and he couldn't find himself to believe that "that" Judal will convince Sinbad against breaking his destiny by force.

"Judal, are you sure about this?" Alibaba asked with a grave tone.

Judal's eyes were filled with doubt of his ability to actually convince people once again. But he stilled his nerves and answered in a way so reassuring that Alibaba, and of course Hakuryuu as well, became convinced and decided to leave it all to him.

"Are you doubting me!? As a fellow child, I should discipline my playmate, shouldn't I?" He said in irony and smiled.

Aladdin still had his doubts but moved on with the others.

"Follow us after you are done!" Alibaba yelled before they went on to the next dungeon.

Judal raised his hand, his fist up in the sky and his back looked ever so reliable right now that Alibaba could only respond with a slight smile.

They got lost through a teleportation gate Arba seemed to open, but was probably opened by Sinbad himself.

As Judal and young Sinbad resumed their fight Sinbad once again started on his story and asked in a grave voice, impatient as his young self always spoke....

"What should we do? Submit to this unreasonable destiny? Or should we make it bend to our will by force!? Indicate me your answer!"

"Here ya go!" Judal yelled and threw a lighting attack, foolish it was as Baal was a lighting djinn.

"You are just a furious brat now, aren't you Sinbad!?" Judal taunted.

"The same goes for you." Sinbad's serious face muttered.

"What!?" Judal gulped in surprise as a magic in the form of a sphere enveloped him leading him to the world of his inner self and conscience....

To be continued....
