Ch. 8 Agrabah
Once entering Agrabah, Jimmy offered that they should head to the palace to see what was going on. The trio agreed. Once there they saw a female who was very elegantly dressed for a normal basis. She saw the boys and said "Well hello there. Are you three lost?" Axel shook his head 'no' and said "Kind woman my friends and I are travelers and seek to aid you if aid is what you need." The woman smiled as she saw Jimmy Cricket and King Mickey's insignia on Vexen's shield. "Friends of Sora I assume?" she asked. The trio was surprised and Axel said "Yah. Is he a friend of yours too?" the woman smiled and said, "Oh where are my manners. I am princess Jasmine. In addition, yes Sora is a dear friend of mine, and Aladdin's" Axel, Vexen, and Zexion let out a sigh of relief.
Jasmine's face turned grim as she said, "Aladdin has been worried since he discovered his father Kasvie. He and Sora have tired to talk them into helping out but…" At that, same moment buffed out Heartless attacked. At that moment, a quick moving blur cut through them. The blur was Sora with a new form. Speed form. Sora asked Jasmine if she was all right. When she said she was Sora turned toward Axel, Vexen, and Zexion and said "Ax, Vex, Zex good to see you guys again. However, brief knowing each other was Vexen, Zexion I still call you two friends." Looking Axel in the eye, he said, "Heard from Leon you really gave him a fight. So I see you're a chosen Brother of the Key now too."
Axel nodded and said "Rox… Do you truly remember me now?" Sora looked at him and said "Of course Axel! We used to have Ice Cream on the top of the clock tower after every mission. Sure I may have forgotten but I remember now." Vexen whispered "Care to explain?" Before Axel could answer, Zexion said, "Don't push him." Sora smiled and said "Go on to the thieves hold. Go out to the desert and carpet should be waiting to take you there. The job is up to you now. I've got other worlds to explore and train in.:"
Once doing as told and entering the cave, the trio saw the chaos. The thieves had split into two sides. One sided with Soluke, tall and muscular bald man. The others sided with Kasvie an older man with graying brown hair. The trio tried to help clam the tension but when those buffed heartless attacked the thieves worked together. In the end, something odd had happened. Soluke was nowhere to be seen. Moreover, where he last stood was an eerie sight.
The mark was made of evil magic that much Zexion knew. The one who could tell them more was Saix. He knew the most of history and lore. However, he would be difficult to find. Zexion made the report and then it was time to leave. As they learned from Sora those were Demo Heartless. The Heartless of Demons…
