The New World [Magi Fanfic]

The Battle Between Old Friends

Hello everyone! Sorry for the shorter than usual chapter, but I'll definitely make it up next week!

I hope that you all are staying safe and healthy! Have a great Bunny Day!

Lucy wakes up in a faintly familiar palace. She sits up and looks around.

"Hello Lucy. It's been quite some time." A giant Ugo greeted the blonde with a smile.

"Indeed it has, Ugo. It is a shame that you did that..." Lucy sighed as she recalled the time not to long ago when he and Judar were locked in a brutal fight.

"Well, as you most likely know, per my wish, Aladdin went in search of Metal Vessels. He met the Djinn and their masters. Just as he was led. I did not teach him beforehand because his journey needed to be natural or it would disturb the flow. When a life begins, it enters the flow and by accepting that, it progresses ever forward. That is how the rukh lead. That is fate. As you likely know, there are those on earth who seek to reverse that flow. To turn evolution into degeneration and order into chaos. They try to revert all to shadow. That is called "The Fall". When it happens, the Rukh turns black. And that magi with them... I was surprised when a dark magi confronted you guys. The reverse flow of fate they created, should have killed Aladdin. But I fought it at the expense of all the magoi Solomon had left me. Aladdin tried to give me his magoi but I am not his Djinn, so while he is undoubtedly like Solomon, his power was not enough. I cannot protect him any longer. I used the remaining power in the flute to summon you and him here. I gave him something important. The wisdom my master had also bestowed upon you." Ugo smiled softly as he looked at the doors of the palace. Lucy nodded as she felt her arms begin to wiggle on their own accord.

"I pulled you in here to say goodbye. I have a feeling that this might be the last time I will see you. I was also told to apologize in Queen Sheba and King Solomon's place for leaving you so abruptly like that. As you know, I used Queen Sheba's soul and placed it in Aladdin, seeing as she is a magi of Alma Torran." Ugo said, turning back to the blonde.

"I understand. Please tell them thank you for me. I really am happy about being in this world. Meeting all these people... it's truly amazing!" Lucy grinned, earning a small smile from the Djinn.

"I will. Now it is time to say farewell. Goodbye Lucy." Ugo said as he began to send her out of the palace.

"I have a small feeling that we will see each other in the future. See you later, Ugo!" Lucy shouted back as she was pulled out of the palace. Her mind succumbed to darkness once more.

"... lor's coming back to their faces!" A muffled voice happily said as a cold hand was pressed against Lucy's forehead. She scrunched up her face before opening her chocolate eyes, immediately despising the sunlight that poured into the room. She let out a slight groan as she sat up in the stiff bead that she was placed in.

"Lady Lucy! Thank goodness!" Ja'far exclaimed as he sighed in relief as he removed his hand.

"I swear you and Sinbad both practically take the years off my life..." Ja'far grumbled, earning a snicker from the blonde beside him.

"How much did I miss?" Lucy asked as she pushed the thin sheet off her body. She swung her legs over the side and let them dangle as she looked up at Ja'far, awaiting his explanation. He immediately grumbled something inherently as he placed his hand on his forehead in annoyance.

"Quite a bit I'm afraid. I do not know all the details but a rebellion is starting, to sum it up." Ja'far explained. He turned to the other people in the room.

"We leave the rest to you, we must be on our way. I cannot ignore the rebellion that Sin and the others are facing." Ja'far said, the two people nodded.

"Masrur, let us head to the Royal Palace." Ja'far said as he waved his hand.

"Understood." Masrur said as he walked over to his comrade. Lucy slid off the bed.

"I'm coming too." She said, Ja'far took in a deep breath and narrowed his emerald eyes at the girl.

"No. You just woke up from the coma. You cannot overexert yourself right now." Ja'far explained, using his hands to exaggerate his point. Lucy stood there and raised a brow, not wavering.

"We are running out of time. Should we really be spending it bickering?" Lucy asked, raising a teasing eyebrow at her friend. Ja'far sighed in defeat and shook his head.

"Fine, let us head to the Royal Palace now."

----

"Kill them all! The Palace's Royal Family, bureaucracy army and, of course, this city's nobility and powerful families!" Cassim yelled as he and his Fog Troupe attacked the soldiers.

----

"We have a huge problem! Terrible chaos is beginning to spread outside the palace! What should we do?" Morgiana yelled as she ran over to Sinbad. He grit his teeth as sweat dripped from his face.

"Damn it... Just what is happening?!" Sinbad questioned aloud, frustration swelling within him.

"Deputy King! Give the army instructions to attack!" A soldier pleaded desperately.

"Although the enemy may be a rebel army of civilians, as it is now, it's war! The plaza and streets are filled with casualties.... The rebels have already penetrated the Royal Palace! If we don't attack them in their center, the country will be destroyed! Please give us your orders!" Another soldier explained with distress. Sahbmad staggered backward as he quickly turned to his brother.

"What should we do, Alibaba?!" Sahbmad asked with distraught.

"Can half of the army head for the main gate and try to hold back the rebelling citizens to gain time? The rest should suppress those that have already invaded the palace. Sahbmad and those that are injured should take shelter in the inner sanctuary. I'll head to the location of the enemy's boss. I'll stop Cassim." Alibaba said, determination held within his piercing eyes.
