Meanwhile...
"Sultan... Look... I'm sorry for not telling you about Iago," Aladdin told the man as they skipped stones together in the river. "But... I just thought I saw some good in him. Like you saw some good in a street rat."
Atticus nodded as he knelt by the river and cupped some water in his hands before washing his face a little. "Besides, Iago deserves a chance." He then said.
"The good I saw in a... Well, oh, yes, l... I suppose," The Sultan replied. "Well said, my boys! Oh, Aladdin, you'll be a fine vizier!"
"I hope someday I can make James proud like that... If Mo wants to marry me, of course." Atticus blushed to himself.
"I'm sure that he will, my dear boy." The Sultan smiled.
"I really love Mo..." Atticus sighed. "More than words can say... I've never had a real love of my life until I met her."
"Really?" The Sultan, Aladdin, and Iago asked out of surprise.
"Really..." Atticus replied.
"Didn't you ever like a girl like that before you even met Mo?" Iago asked curiously.
"Nope," Atticus shook his head. "Before Mo, I only knew Cherry, and I only thought of her as a sister I never had."
"Wow..." Iago blinked.
"I felt so different once I first saw Mo... I can't describe it, but I felt like my heart was racing, my hands were sweating, I felt hungry, but at the same time I was full, it was just really odd." Atticus continued.
"Whoa." Iago said.
"Anyway, this was a great idea, Iago," Aladdin smiled. "Thanks."
"Yeah, thanks." Atticus added.
"Oh, don't thank me..." Iago replied. "Really..."
"Why?" Atticus asked.
Before anything else could be said, mysterious men soon rode in with their horses and suddenly made everything dark and scary as they came for The Sultan. Carpet flew down and put his tassel up to halt them only to be trampled by the horses.
"Ooh, that had to hurt." Atticus winced.
"Abis Mal?!" Aladdin looked shocked to see his newest enemy involved in this chaos.
One of the men soon came up from the pink smoke and grabbed a hold of The Sultan. Iago looked nervous to Aladdin and Atticus.
"Iago, you planned this?" Atticus asked.
"You traitor!" Aladdin glared at the parrot.
"Traitor is such a strong word!" Iago yelped.
"Boys, help!" The Sultan cried out as he was being held captive.
"We're coming, Your Highness!" Atticus told him.
Aladdin and Atticus rode on Carpet together and soon flew after The Sultan to save him.
"Look, they're trapped on the cliff!" Aladdin smirked as the mysterious men kept escaping only to come to a stop by the waterfall. "When they stop, we'll-"
To everyone's surprise, the men on their horses soon jumped off the cliff into the waterfall and their horses appeared to grow bat wings.
"I did not see that coming." Atticus said.
"Abis Mal knows magic?" Aladdin asked out of shock.
"But how?" Atticus asked.
Aladdin and Atticus flew after the Sultan and soon saved him.
"What?!" Abis Mal's eyes widened. "Get him! Get The Sultan!"
The men with Abis Mal soon did as said.
"Hang on, Sultan, this is where we lose him!" Aladdin assured the elder royal man.
"Who are these creeps?" Atticus muttered about Abis Mal's new henchmen. "Whoever they are, they mean business."
One of the men held out his sword and zapped the water, creating a whirlpool to take The Sultan down. The whirlpool soon grabbed the Sultan and brought him down into the water.
"Whoa!" Atticus yelped.
"SULTAN!" Aladdin cried out. "We have to go back, Carpet!"
"Hang on, Mr. Sultan, we're coming!" Atticus proclaimed.
The boys reached into the water tornado only to fall off Carpet and fall into the rushing river waters about to go down the waterfall. Atticus soon used his magic and where the two of them teleported. Jafar didn't interfere with the saving right now.
"What're you doing?!" Abis Mal glared slightly. "Are you nuts?! You saved them! It's supposed to be a pushy little smear on the rocks-"
"LOOK, YOU LITTLE-!" Jafar glared as he soon made the bad guys disappear while grabbing him. "I mean... My dear Abis Mal... If you remember the plan, it is not yet time for the boys to meet their end."
"I knew that." Abis Mal muttered.
"Soon, our revenge will be complete and you shall have your third wish." Jafar told his new master.
"Oh, my little wish~" Abis Mal beamed.
"And you, Iago!" Jafar called to his ex-sidekick. "You have done well."
"Please... Don't mention it." Iago replied in guilt.
They soon flew off back to Agrabah.
Meanwhile...
"Where did we go?" Atticus wondered. "This isn't Agrabah... Oh, well, at least we're safe..."
Aladdin soon coughed and woke up.
"Oh, thank goodness, you're okay." Atticus told his friend.
"Where are we?" Aladdin asked.
"I'm not sure, I tried to teleport us away from the waterfall, I guess it worked too well." Atticus replied.
"Well, we better get to Agrabah." Aladdin suggested.
"Come on, I think I know the way from here," Atticus replied. "I'm a pretty good tracker for a human."
Aladdin and Atticus walked off together. It was getting darker and darker and it was soon night time.
In the dungeon of the palace...
"Jafar, you fiend!" The Sultan glared as he was locked up against the cold stone wall. "I should have known that this was your treachery!"
Jafar soon took the Sultan's turban. Iago could only look away in shame and guilt.
"Jafar, this rug won't cooperate!" Abis Mal complained as he tried to restrain the magic carpet.
Carpet soon got free from Abis Mal. It was about to fly away through the high window at the top only for Jafar to use magic against it, chaining it up like a prisoner. Abu sadly bowed his head for Carpet as he sat beside the jarred up Genie.
"You'll never get away with this, Jafar!" Yoyo glared. "And why did you need the Sultan's hat?"
"Oh, you shall soon see, you little rodent." Jafar smirked as he took out a dagger and soon sliced up the Sultan's turban.
"Heeeey, that was a nice hat!" Abis Mal pouted. "I could've worn that hat!"
"We need this for our plan." Jafar smirked as he took the ripped up hat.
"Oh, p-p-p-please, what could you need the Sultan's Turban hat slashed to make it look like he's dead?" Doc Croc asked.
"That sounds like a wonderful plan." Jafar smirked.
"Couldn't we use another hat for the plan?" Abis Mal pouted.
Cherry poked her head out to see the others as she was trying to hide away from all of this chaos.
"Ah, Cherry, just in time." Jafar smirked.
"Yay me..." Cherry replied weakly, sounding more faint and less interested than a very soft and quiet Fluttershy.
"Cherry! Quick, get us free!" Casper told her.
"I'd love to." Cherry replied.
"Well, would ya?" Drell asked her. "I know you're lazy, but-"
"Well... I'm on the side of evil now." Cherry replied.
"What?!" The group asked out of shock.
Cherry smiled nervously in response.
"Why you dirty little snake!" Drell glared as he looked more violent than he had ever been, but he couldn't use any magic against her due to being restrained from it thanks to Jafar. "If I had my powers, I'd banish you to Saturn!"
"Now, now, Drell; I'm sure she has a reason." Hilda said.
Cherry hid behind the table nervously since Drell being angry scared her more than anything else in the world.
Outside the palace...
"Come on, Aladdin..." Atticus said while panting only slightly. "Just a few more steps..."
Aladdin panted as he joined Atticus at the top while Razoul was at the front doors.
'Good, Razoul is here; we can tell him everything.' Atticus thought to himself.
"Razoul, the Sultan's been-" Aladdin began.
"Seize them!" Razoul demanded as the other guards came to grab Atticus and Aladdin. "You two are under arrest for the murder of The Sultan!"
"What?!" Atticus glared.
"NO!" Aladdin yelped.
"We can explain!" Atticus cried out as they were taken away to be locked up. "We didn't kill the Sultan!"
They were soon being interrogated by Razoul since he was the lead guard. Atticus and Aladdin soon told him everything, but it sounded strange out of context.
"And then he went over the waterfall, eh?" Razoul scoffed. "HA! How did you two survive?"
"I teleported us to safety." Atticus said.
"How very convenient." Razoul crossed his arms.
"It's the truth!" Aladdin glared. "Why won't you believe us?!"
"I know you're both lying." Jasmine's voice replied.
"We both know." Mo's voice added.
"Girls?" Aladdin and Atticus asked.
"We found this in your room," Jasmine replied as she showed her father's torn up hat. "My father's turban, slashed!"
"You can't think-" Aladdin said to her.
"I thought you loved me!" Jasmine cried out. "But now I see all you wanted to do was rule Agrabah!"
"Jasmine, of course he loves you!" Atticus told her.
"You were even in on it!" Mo glared.
"Mo, you know I would never wanna hurt anyone!" Atticus told his girlfriend. "I love you more than anything!...Except for maybe my mother's steak, but you know I would never hurt someone I truly care about!"
"I thought you would never hurt anyone, but I was wrong." Mo said.
"Mo, you know I wouldn't!" Atticus told her with wide eyes.
"They shall both die at dawn!" Jasmine told Razoul before running upstairs with Mo. "For the murder of my father!"
"Girls, please!" Atticus and Aladdin begged only to be shut out.
'S-She didn't believe me.' Atticus thought to himself.
Razoul grinned to both Atticus and Aladdin as he was going to enjoy this.
Jasmine and Mo soon came into the dungeon just as another Jasmine and Mo were being locked up by Abis Mal. Soon, Jasmine and Mo that entered the dungeon changed into Jafar and Cherry.
"Ugh, I feel so dirty..." Cherry groaned to herself. "Someone please put me out of my misery."
"I will..." Drell glared as he shook his fists.
"Jafar, you are by far the worst person on the face of the planet!" Mo glared.
"Why thank you~" Jafar smirked. "You both should've seen the looks on Atticus and Aladdin's face when Princess Jasmine and you sentenced them to death."
Jasmine gasped and bowed her head out of anguish.
"You didn't!" Mo cried out. "You can't kill Atticus!"
"Oh, but I can with a little magic." Jafar smirked.
"No!" Mo frowned as she looked a little sick to her stomach right now.
'I'm sorry, Mo.' Cherry said in her mind to her cousin as she felt bad for her and Jasmine right now.
"Oh, yes!" Abis Mal grinned excitedly. "And then I get my wish?"
"Yes, and then you get your wish." Jafar replied out of annoyance.
"He's annoying you, right?" Drell smirked.
"Shut up, you!" Jafar glared at the warlock.
"Hey, I'm just trying to help." Drell smirked innocently.
"Iago, I swear one day you will pay for this!" Jasmine threatened Iago.
"Trust me, he did not want to do this." Cherry said.
"And I take it you don't either?" Drell asked.
Cherry sniffled since her best friend was now going to die because of her before she cried her eyes out. "NOOO!"
"So, then Jafar forced you two to do this." Drell said.
"I'm sorry!" Cherry cried out and fell to her knees. "Drell, this is all my fault! I got involved just because of dumb luck, I'm sorry!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay," Drell told her. "Uh, don't cry, Cherry... Wow, I can't believe you're crying..."
"It's because Atticus is going to die because of me!" Cherry replied.
"Losing him really hurts you?" Drell frowned.
"Drell, I'm sorry!" Cherry curled up in a ball. "I know you love Atticus like a son, but you don't understand, without Atticus, I have nothing! Before Atticus came into my life, it was just me and a bunch of books! I never even talked to anybody!"
"I don't think I've seen Cherry cry before." Hilda told her husband.
"And why do I feel a song coming on explaining her life before Atticus?" Drell asked.
"Should I?" Cherry asked wearily.
"If you think that's best." Hilda told her since Cherry was obviously in deep pain.
"Well, alright then." Cherry said.
Drell and Hilda looked to each other before looking to Cherry as she walked off a little in depression.
"I gave you my heart and then you turned around~" Cherry softly sang.
"The secrets that we shared, the moments that you cared~" Atticus sang back as he appeared in a floating head bubble beside her sad singing.
"I gave you my heart and then you turned around~" Cherry sang.
"We'd go skipping in the park, proof-reading your poetry after dark~" Atticus sang back.
"This sounds like My Little Pony, but not My Little Pony." Drell commented.
"I gave you my heart and then you turned around~" Cherry continued.
"Your depressing melodies, Our suppressing fantasies~" Atticus sang back.
"I gave you my heart and then you turned arooooooound~" Cherry sang at first before the music got quick and she went back into her childhood memories of sitting alone in her room with a book before she started to sound like an obsessed stalker to Atticus. "I always wanted my own friend, And then he showed up at my door, I didn't question where he came from, I wasn't lonely anymore, Soon, we did everything together, He taught me how to fly a kite, I watched him grow into a man, I watched him sleep in bed at night, It's not creepy~"
"I think this sounds like one of those songs that kids make up on YouTube." Mo said.
"But then we found out he was a Wiccan, Almost like a witch, but not, But now that everybody loves him, I'm just a face out in the crowd, I threw myself into my stories, to have the world in my control, I vaporized the competition, Nobody understands me, It's not evil~" Cherry continued.
"Yep, definitely one of those songs." Casper said.
"That's disturbing." Drell commented.
"I gave you my heart and then you turned around~" Cherry and Atticus sang.
"Romantic sibling dreams, they never came to be~" Cherry sang solo.
"I gave you my heart and then you turned around~" Cherry and Atticus sang.
"Did she just say romantic sibling dreams?" Yoyo asked.
"Make it stop!" Drell begged before hitting the floor. "I thought I was cruel with torture, but after years of torment, Cherry's gotten even! Cherry, please, make this song end!"
"Just take it from me, I know you'll come around~" Cherry sang.
"Through the law forbids it, this is kismet~" Cherry and Atticus sang together.
"Say 'I do' and seal our souls together~" Cherry sang.
"Voulez-vous, our friendship will last forever~" Atticus sang back.
"Since we're best friends, it'll be okay~" Cherry and Atticus sang together.
"So different now from what it seemed, now Jafar has killed the dream I dreamed~" Cherry finished before bowing her head.
"Finally!" Drell cried.
Hilda came up beside Cherry with her hand on the perky goth's shoulder. "That was the creepiest thing I've ever heard."
