As Altair waited with the lamp, inside Agrabah, he noticed how peaceful everything was. The stars shone in the sky and all were asleep, except for a few guards patrolling the streets, luckily not noticing him. Down the alleyways he noticed a few children in ragged clothes with a small cloth over them to keep them warm. It seemed the further away from the palace, the crueller the living conditions became.
Suddenly, a whirling noise began and Oro appeared in front of him, with Jasmine still pulled tightly to him.
"There we are" he said releasing Jasmine from his grip.
Altair was waiting to see how she had coped this time.
Once again she fell to the ground, but unlike last time, she was conscious.
"Come now princess," Oro commanded "I'm sure your father is dying to see you again!"
Jasmine groaned as she tried to get up. She stumbled slightly, then fell back into Oro, who laughed as he caught her. "You'll get used to it soon enough my pet, but for now…" He reached out his arm towards Altair, requesting the lamp.
Altair obeyed and brought the lamp out from his side, placing it on Oro's hand. Oro grinned and threw Jasmine into Altair who caught her and supported her to stand.
"This is what we've been waiting for my friend" Oro whispered as he rubbed the lamp.
Jafar again appeared from the smoke in his human form, smiling as he scanned Agrabah, realising that he was about to have his revenge. "Finally,"
Then he turned towards Jasmine and laughed at seeing her only half conscious in Altair's arms. "Having a little trouble with transporting my dear?"
Jasmine said nothing. She barely had the strength to move let alone the pain he would submit upon her if she was to talk back to him.
"Perhaps soon you will finally respect me, especially for your father's sake!"
Jasmine looked away trying not to make eye contact with him. She didn't want him to see the worry in her eyes.
"Now," he said seriously, "What do you wish me to do here Oro?"
Oro smiled.
"I wish for you to destroy Agrabah until I give you a signal to stop!"
Jafar grinned evilly "Yes master!"
With that he formed into his genie self, becoming greater, and being surrounded by smoke until he was taller than all of Agrabah.
He outreached his arms, and suddenly the sky became cloudy and rain began to fall followed by a clash of thunder and a stroke of lightning.
"Don't over do it Jafar" Oro laughed as he began to make his way toward the palace, summoning Altair behind him to bring Jasmine.

Aladdin stopped carpet a good distance from Shamrah.
"Remember Genie, don't come until I call you!" he said.
"Gotcha," genie replied, "but what if you don't call??"
"Then come if I don't call after an hour!" Aladdin whispered.
"Alright, but be careful kid" Genie sighed.
Aladdin nodded and made carpet fly on leaving Genie to wait behind out of sight.

Oro walked in front of Altair and Jasmine, leading the way to the palace. As they approached, Jafar began to throw lighting and fire onto the city, causing people to rush from there hovels and run through the street panicking on what to do.
Oro grinned as he heard people running around him screaming and saying "Jafar's back" or "We're doomed!" He enjoyed seeing others suffer.
Jasmine struggled to get out of Altair's grip. This was her city, and she had to watch it be set on fire by the hand of Jafar. Yet she was still too weak to attempt anything.
Suddenly Oro was approached by Razul and three of his men.
"You! Stranger! Who are you?"
Oro smiled as he formed a ball of fire in the palm of his hand.
"Razul, go warn father!" Jasmine cried to him before Altair covered her mouth with his hand.
Razul stepped back and then peering behind Oro, he saw Altair holding Jasmine.
"Princess Jasmine!" he gasped then raised his sword against Oro only to be attacked and knocked unconscious by a bolt of fire.
The three guards put there swords back in their sheath and ran towards the palace to warn the sultan.
"Good" Oro grinned. "Let him be prepared!"
Again Jasmine struggled to get out of Altair's grip, but even with the strength she had gained, she still wasn't strong enough!
A large cackle came from Jafar. He was enjoying this more than Oro.

Aladdin approached Shamrah and saw the two figures of Oro and Altair standing in front of him. Flying towards them he jumped off and drew his sword.
"Where's Jasmine!?" he demanded.
The two figures smiled and continued to stand there, looking at Aladdin.
"That's it!" Aladdin said beginning to run towards the replicas and throwing his sword through Altair. To his surprise, it passed right through him, causing no pain or injury.
"What?" Aladdin exclaimed.
He yelled as he jumped back, avoiding a slash from Altair's sword. He began to defend himself. As their swords clashed together, Oro's replica began to chant. Suddenly a ball of fire just missed Aladdin and flew into the dessert passing Genie as it fell.
"Whoa," Genie jumped. "That can't be good! I don't care what Aladdin said" and so Genie began to make his way towards Aladdin.
As he got there he saw Aladdin fighting with Altair and Oro making chants against him. "Oh no you don't!" Genie said as he formed a large boxing glove and through it at Oro knocking him back!
"Genie," Aladdin called. "Nothing will work!"
"What are you talking…?" Genie asked unfinished as a fire ball returned and knocked him to the ground.
"So that's how it's going to be!" Genie said as he pulled himself up. "Well then!" He created fire in front of himself and threw it at Oro, who stepped to the side and dodged it easily.
"Genie!" Aladdin yelled. "We can't beat them! They are replicas!"
"Then a little water should do the trick" Genie said as he remembered the Jasmine replica. He created a hose in front of himself and sprayed a force of water over Altair and Oro knocking them both backwards onto the ground, but nothing happened.
"Well that couldn't have gone worse!" he said with a gaped look on his face.
Altair and Oro began to arise again smiling as they approached Genie and Aladdin.
"Genie what do we do?" Aladdin asked panicking.
"They mustn't be created from sand particles. The book said they could be created from any small particle. So we need to figure out what it is and how to destroy it!"
Aladdin continued to slash at Altair, but his blade just went straight through him.
"The sword goes through Genie, it must be air!" Aladdin pointed out.
"How do we destroy air?"
"We can't" Genie sighed.

The Sultan was sitting on his throne, too worried to retire to his bed chamber. Sighing, he heard a large noise from outside the palace. "What the devil?" he said, getting up to examine the city from the throne room's balcony.
"No!" he gasped as he saw the large red genie destroying his city. "He's back!"
Suddenly the three guards burst into the room.
"Your majesty," the first one exclaimed. "They have the princess; they're on their way here!"
"What? Who?" The Sultan asked furiously.
"The sorcerer your majesty he blasted Razul, he's…" The guard was interrupted by a blast that came from the palaces main doors. The Sultan ran to the scene followed by the guards to find Oro standing on his own in the hallway, smiling as he was approached.
"Your majesty" he said sarcastically as he bowed.
"Yes, this will do nicely," he mumbled looking around himself at the palace.

"We have
no choice Genie!" Aladdin said. "We have to go inside and look
for Jasmine. You distract them and I'll sneak in, then you teleport
in."
"Right!" Genie said putting his thumb up, then flying
away from Aladdin to draw the replicas attention.
He began calling them names and doing dances to get them over.
"Hey bone heads, yeah you fire brain, come show me what you really got!!"
It worked. The two replicas began to approach Genie, Altair drawing his sword and Oro again creating fire.
"Is that all you can do fire breath" Genie laughed.
Meanwhile Aladdin sneaked behind them towards the doors and slowly opened them and crept in. Unfortunately, the door made a booming slam behind him causing the replicas to turn around to look.
"Uh Oh," Genie gulped as the replicas turned to look at him again.
"See ya!" he said and disappeared from sight.
Aladdin waited as Genie appeared behind them.
"Come on," he said, we'll split up to find her; at least if we run into the real sorcerer's we can fight properly."
"Yeah, great plan Al, but erm, we don't really have much time as; well the replicas are kind of approaching!" Genie laughed cautiously.
"The door?" Aladdin asked disappointed.
"Yep!" Genie nodded.
