Chapter Four
"What are we DOING here?" Jeannie II asked. She, The Blue Jinn, and a bound-and-gagged Tony Jr. were all on a beach that was located on a tropical island in the South Pacific.
"You think I WANTED to come here?" The Blue Jinn shot back.
"This is the very same beach where my sister met Major Nelson," said Jeannie II.
"So?"
"It seems that someone is trying to draw us into a fight with my sister," said Jeannie II. "When she finds you ..."
"Curse this eye!" With that, The Blue Jinn hurled the Eye into the sea.
"You should not have done that," warned Jeannie II.
"Why not?" The Blue Jinn asked.
The bound-and-gagged Tony Jr. suddenly disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Jeannie II asked.
"BLUE JINN!" Tony Jr. growled from off in the distance.
Jeannie II and The Blue Jinn turned towards Tony Jr.'s voice. Tony Jr. (now standing up and free of his bonds) stood off in the distance, wielding the wide-open Eye of Selos before him.
Silently and unobtrusively, Jeannie appeared alongside Jeannie II and The Blue Jinn.
The Blue Jinn began striding towards Tony Jr. "GIVE ME THAT EYE!" he roared. All at once, he collided with an invisible barrier.
"KNEEL!" Tony Jr. roared.
"HAVE YOU ANY IDEA WHO I AM?" the enraged Blue Jinn thundered. "I kneel before NO ONE!"
All at once, The Eye of Selos bathed The Blue Jinn in a beam of pale blue light. His jaw slackened. His arms dropped to his sides. The now-entranced Blue Jinn was frozen in its light.
"KNEEL!" Tony Jr. growled gutturally.
With that, The Blue Jinn's knees buckled, causing him to kneel before Tony Jr. and the Eye. He then collapsed face-down upon the beach.
"I am leaving," said Jeannie II. She turned her back to Tony Jr. and was instantly transformed into a pillar of salt.
An exhausted Tony Jr. dropped his right arm - the arm that held the Eye of Selos - down to his side. He then collapsed face-down upon the beach in a dead faint.
"ANTHONY!" Jeannie screamed. She disappeared and then reappeared at Tony Jr.'s side.
"Anthony ... Anthony," Jeannie cried as she held Tony Jr. in her arms and patted his face, trying to rouse him. "Anthony, can you hear me?"
"Where am I?" Tony Jr. mumbled.
"Let us go," said Jeannie. With a blink of her eyes, she and Tony Jr. disappeared.
