Chapter 9: The battle of Agrabah
Maleficent's army pounded through the gates of the city, her troops swarming into the city, only to find a disturbing sight. Every civilian they saw stood still, when approached they all said the same thing, "In order to free ourselves from the bonds of tyranny we join this army dedicated to the light of truth, to stop the darkness of Hollow Bastion. How wonderful Jafar's world can be..."
Everybody they found, except one, "What happened to you guys? What's wrong? Talk to ME! Please..." the unaffected individual yelled at his friends, at his enemies, at anybody that he knew, until he found the army standing behind him, and a dark witch at the head. Aladdin spoke first, "Are you, I mean are you all, normal?"
"Yes, we are, do you know what has transpired here?"
"No, no, they all just started rioting and then- then this happened..." Aladdin's voice was shaking as he spoke.
"Is there anything that you can think of that may be responsible for this?"
"No, umm wait, there was this lamp, this lamp that could grant wishes, and I- I gave it to Jafar- the vizier, he- oh my- I think he did this..."
"Indeed it seems possible, join us and we will help you free your city!"
"Uh... Okay... What's your name?"
"I am Maleficent, the most powerful Sorceress in the World. And yours?"
"I'm Aladdin, professional thief, and do-gooder!"
"Well then, Aladdin, take Beta squad and do a sweep of the city, if you find any others non-affected bring them with you, by force if necessary, Delta squad secure the gate, all others follow me, I think it is time we visit this 'Jafar.'" The troops broke up into seperate groups each following their assignments.
Far away, Lea drove, well above the speed limit. He was well on his way to a promotion, the first reporter at the scene of the Agrabah riots! First he had to get to the scene, ahead of him he saw a dust trail, "Must be Radiant Garden, those guys cannot get there first!" He pushed the pedal down further, going well above the established safety and breaking many, many more laws, trying to get to Agrabah first. "Speed limits! Who needs it, Got it Memorized!" Laughing like a maniac, he sped forward on a date with destiny.
In the back of the truck, Aqua heard the maniacal laughter of the red headed man. As she struggled not to hit the back of the truck, as she struggled, she looked down at her wayfinder. Would Agrabah, lead her to Terra, or Xehanort... On the other hand, could she be heading to something else entirely? She smiled sadly, with bittersweet hope that Terra would be in Agrabah.
Braig's forces approached Agrabah in a convoy, thirty trucks, and thirteen troops in each truck, which makes 390 troops, each armed with standard riot gear, a blizzaga rifle, two hi-potions, and a sack of sleepaga powder. Approaching from the north, Eric's forces, totaling over a thousand in number likewise armed. Everybody hoped that they would not need it; Braig's cell phone rang, "Hello, this is Braig speaking."
"Braig, sir, its Eric, the bridge is down! I repeat the bridge is down! We can't get by.
"Which bridge, can you repair it?"
"The dragon bridge, a local commander, a man named Shang says the Hun's destroyed it and they can have it up by tomorrow, until then we're stuck. Sorry sir."
"It's fine Eric, we'll do this alone. Anything else?"
"Yes sir! New report on the submarine, we found a papou fruit, we suspect a denizen of Destiny Islands is responsible, with your permission I would like the main armada to launch an assault, and arrest the criminals."
"Fine, fine, contact Dilan, have him handle the logistics..." A truck sped by the convoy, "What the-! Eric, got to go." Braig hung up, then spoke to the driver, "Speed up, whoever this is, we can't let him get to Agrabah first!" The driver nodded and the convoy began to race the other truck.
Sora and Kairi walked through Twilight Town, the last day Kairi would remain in Twilight Town, and Sora vowed to spend it with his friend. That was until Roxas showed up. Roxas walked up and spoke, "Hello, Sora, and Kairi, how's it going my friends? Sora, are your wounds healing up well? I did give you quite a beating, little sorry about it so I apologize."
"Thanks, Roxas. Congrats on the victory, and beating Siefer, just curious did you get any other prizes?"
"Yeah, a coupon for two ice-creams." He pulled it out and handed it to Kairi.
"Thanks Roxas, Sora and I appreciate it." The pair walked off, leaving Roxas a little stunned.
The pair in the backstreet where they found Leon standing, gunblade in hand.
"Hello, Kairi is it, and you must be Sora."
Sora answered, "That's right, what do you want?"
"Let's have a little conversation..."
After several hours, Braig and his forces arrived, beside their truck, the other truck's driver got out, a red headed man wearing an official news reporter's patch. Braig could not help but laughing, they had raced a reporter to the scene of a riot. Braig walked over to the red headed man, a patch on his shirt read "Lea". "What do you think you're doing, Mr. Lea?"
"I thought you guys were Channel seven, Radiant Garden news... Sorry Prime Minister, I only meant to report on the riot."
"Sorry. As If. You wanted to be here first. That's cool. You can report, I'll even give you an interview, but you wait here until my troops have dealt with the situation. Understand?"
"Yes sir, I'll wait by my truck."
Braig's forces marched to the city gates and opened them to find a battle unfolding, small warriors, likely Maleficent's forces were doing battle with the town's inhabitants, only the inhabitants were using magic, and weapons most warriors, including Braig could not even fathom. They all spoke in a chorus as Braig entered, "In order to free ourselves from the bonds of tyranny..."
Likewise Beta squad was in a similar predicament, they were surrounded, both sides raised their arms before Aladdin walked forward, and the crowd parted as he turned around and said, "In order to free ourselves from the bonds of tyranny we join this army dedicated to the light of truth, to stop the darkness of Hollow Bastion. How wonderful Jafar's world can be..."
Maleficent arrived at the palace to find it converted into a fortress, she made quick work of the first set of gaurds, transforming them into white mice and pumpkins before she found her goal, sitting on a throne, sat Jafar with a lamp in hand and bird on his shoulder. He got up and spoke, "Hello, Maleficent, how are you old friend? Do you like what I have done to the place, I have an army now, no longer will I be your lackey, and soon even, you will fall to the true master of evil. Thanks to the might of my all powerful genie!" Maleficent's troops fell down under the power of sleep as she walked forward, proclaiming, "No, I am the mistress of evil, and a pretender like you will never succeed!" She slammed her staff down and laughed as a powerful duel of magic began.
So yeah. I thought mind control would be a good plot detail, to make Jafar more evil. Hope it worked...
Feel free to review, did you like the mind control, (or not) let me know. Hope you all are doing well, and the next chapter will be soon, promise!
(Preview for next chapter: There will be truth, lies and death. Also, something unexpected will happen... Who will live? Who will die? Find out Next chapter!)
