The New World [Magi Fanfic]

The Horrible Lord

"A-Alibaba..." Lucy whispered as she pointed behind him. Alibaba turned to see the slave he encountered before.

"WAAAH!! WH-WH-WHAT?!" Alibaba shouted and fell backwards.

"You! T-The slave girl from before! What're you doing here?!" Alibaba asked, though he earned no response from the girl.

"Oh, there you are! You sure caused me a lot of trouble!" The Lord said as he came in with a rather built man following him.

'What should I do?! We can't just ride this out! Should I run? If they're here for treasure, we're just in the way! Run?! But how?! Aladdin can't move and Lucy and I are outnumbered! Now what!? ...I know!' Alibaba thought as the sweat poured from his face.

"Oh boy, oh boy... am I glad to see you! You're the local OverLord right? We're children from the town! We got lost in the Dungeon! My older sister and my little brother came with me! Our little brother has a fever! Whatever shall we do?!" Alibaba dramatically said, Lucy inwardly cringed at how bad we were at acting.

'These guys look dangerous. I can't run or hide so I should try to get along with them!' Alibaba said, hiding his nerves.

"S-So, if it's all right, let's go together--" Alibaba said but stopped when the three walked right past him. He turned back with a scared expression. The Lord knelt in front of Aladdin.

"I've been waiting, Magi. I've waited ten years for you to appear." The Lord Jamil said.

'That confirms any remaining doubt that this is Aladdin.. Even then, I didn't have any to begin with...' Lucy sighed inwardly to herself.

'Magi, Huh? What? Does he know Aladdin?' Alibaba thought with sweat drops coming from his face.

"Oh dear... You're not injured, are you? Goltas!" Jamil said, waving over the tall muscular man. Without a word, he picked up Aladdin and slung him over his shoulder.

"W-Wait! What are you doing?!" Alibaba asked, but was only ignored by everyone.

"Alibaba..." Lucy whispered.

'What's with these guys!? They act like I'm not even here!' Alibaba thought with anger. He grit his teeth and marched over to them. He swung in front of them and held his arms out, blocking their path.

"I said wait! Don't take him! What are you doing?!" Alibaba asked, finally gaining their attention.

"That's what I'd like to ask." Jamil said with a genuine confused expression.

"Why are you following us? What are you doing?" Jamil asked, putting his hands on his hips.

"Wh-What am I...? That boy is with me and my friend! Please don't... take him away." Alibaba said. Lucy walked over to him and stood by his side.

"Huh? He's with you two? Listen. I'm on important business that isn't for regular folks." Jamil said as he began to walk past the duo once more. Alibaba grit his teeth.

"I said WAIT!" Alibaba yelled as he gripped Lord Jamil's shoulder. The latter smacked Alibaba's hand away and turned to face him with a cold glare.

"Did you just say... "Wait"?" Jamil asked. He let out a sigh and waved his hand.

"Unruly commoner. Kill him Goltas." Jamil ordered as he turned away again, putting Aladdin in Morgiana's, the slave girl, arms. Alibaba looked up at the man who gripped his sword while taking heavy breaths.

"Kill..? N-No, no... You're joking, right!?" Alibaba asked as he waved his hands out in front of him. Goltas only twitched as he raised his sword high in the air. As fast as it went up, it came crashing down at Alibaba. Though, thanks to his past training, Alibaba quickly dodged to the side and twirled around Goltas, holding his dagger to the giant man's throat. Lucy let out a sigh in relief.
