Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts
Warning: Spoilers for Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 1
I don't think this chapter was my best.
Note: doing this chapter cut scene by cut scene, because this was a long one, and this is how it will be like for Monstro, Atlantica, Halloween town, and Neverland.
After meeting Pinocchio and while Cid was finishing up the repairs and test checking the gummi ship, Jiminy explained everything to us. He first told us of how he came to be at Disney Castle. His world was gone too; and he was separated from Pinocchio and his father, Geppetto. Jiminy was literally this wooden boy's moral conscious.
He promised the wooden puppet, excuse me, boy; that he would do everything in his power to find Pinocchio's father along with our assistance. Who were we to refuse him?
About two hours later, we were back among the Interspace of all the worlds.
"And what of the keyhole?" spoke Maleficent, as the vile woman walked through the desert town with another by her side.
"The heartless are searching for it now" answered the bone thinned man as he held his snake scepter. "I'm certain; we'll find it soon enough; so that only just leaves..."
"Jafar! I've looked everywhere for Jasmine. She's disappeared like magic!" said the talking red parrot now sitting on Jafar's left shoulder
"The girl is more trouble than she's worth!" spoke spiteful the boney man.
"Jafar, you said you had things under control." Said Maleficent as a clear look of unpleasantness showed on her face.
"Agrabah is full of holes for rats to hide in, Maleficent, don't fret, the princess will be in our hands no matter what. So why worry about Princess Jasmine; with or without her, surely this world will be ours when we find the keyhole."
"We need all seven princesses of heart to open the final door. Any fewer is useless." said the dark witch
"Well if the princess is that important, we'll find her. Find Jasmine and bring her to me, at once." Jafar said to the four appearing heartless, that were carrying swords." The parrot flew off Jafar's shoulder leading that small group of heartless in search of Princess Jasmine.
As Jafar himself began to walk off. "Don't steep yourself in darkness too long, the heartless consume the careless" warned Maleficent, Jafar laughed manically, "Your concern is touching, but hardly necessary" the boney evil sorcerer replied to her.
Maleficent glared at Jafar for his foolishness.
But unbeknownst to the dark duo was a girl, hiding in one of the fruit set ups. Her hands over her mouth as she heard their plans for her and apparently other girls as well.
"How can the people here stand this heat" Sora complained as he attempted to fan himself which for Sora it didn't turn out so well since his hand and arms were tired from fighting sword carrying heartless, whom had the back up of large body heartless.
"Sora, you grew up on an island, you should be used to this weather," retorted Aqua, whom was walking around the town trench coatless.
"Yeah, but we had the ocean right next to us, this place...well I only saw one actual water well and I don't think it was full" said the fourteen year old.
"Sora, we'll talk about this later." Sighing Aqua as the heat was getting to her too, but she was a fighter not a weather witch.
"Hey! Lets uses that spell, Merlin showed me, that aught too..."
"Leave you as a human ice cube Sora" interrupted Aqua.
"At least I'd be nice and cool" Sora whispered to himself.
"and I would enjoy the silence" said Aqua.
The foursome kept walking around the desert town, looking for signs of life that weren't more heartless. They sound found themselves in a dead end where a soft but scared voice began to speak out to them.
"Who's there, hello?"
All four of them turning into the direction of the voice, that saw a teenage girl about sixteen years old dressed in a light green top and pants with golden colored shoes, her hair was long and tied together, but the length of her hair went passed her back. They all took a defensive pose when they had changed their body positions.
"Who are you?" Aqua asked the girl, in a calm voice but stern.
"I'm Princess Jasmine of Agrabah. My father is the sultan of this kingdom." Answering Aqua's question.
"Um, so you're a princess then" commented Goofy, "she just said that you palooka!" as Donald elbowed his comrade.
Tears threatened to come down the Jasmine's face, "But my father has been overthrown by Jafar and is now controlling the city."
"Jafar?" Aqua questioned
Jasmine sniffed, "you haven't heard of him?"
"No" they all said collectively
"He is...was my father's royal vizier, he's gained evil powers and he's desperately looking for something called a keyhole. Jafar caught me when I was making an escape but then I was saved by this guy"
"Who helped you?" Sora asked with interest.
"We were hiding nearby, but he left awhile ago to go take care of something" answered Jasmine; "oh I hope Aladdin's alright." She then added with worry written all over her face.
"Aladdin? Where can I find this street rat?" said a chilling voice; Aqua and company looking up to the new voice, on a ledge they see a bone thinned man, holding a snake scepter. "Princess Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear Princess." said the cruel man, Jasmine taking steps back out of fear of the man. "These little rats just won't do you see" said the evil man.
"She's not going anywhere with you" Aqua placing an arm out in front Jasmine, "Jasmine, run" Sora mumbled to her as he and Aqua summoned their keyblades and jasmine did just that.
"Ah, the two key wielders" was the last thing Jafar said, as he began to disappear while the heartless appeared. More likely he was going after Jasmine.
"Donald!" "Goofy! Go and protect Jasmine now" Aqua screamed as she and Sora fought off the groups of heartless.
Aqua and Sora were left fighting hard against the heartless, metal clanged as keyblade met sword. "Fire" Sora shouted as one heartless was running towards him. It was only two against sixteen; Donald and Goofy had heeded Aqua's order and went to help Jasmine. "Aqua, we need to get away from these heartless, take hiding place and then regroup with the others." suggested Sora.
"Agreed" and that was when she saw it their getaway, a ledge that hopefully leads to an empty house. They were surrounded by the heartless as teacher and student stood back to back.
"Sora, when I say three, I want you to use thunder do you understand me?"
"Yes"
"Three" she shouted, "Thunder!" they both screamed as they held their keyblades to the sky. Some of the heartless were destroyed in that double thunder spell, while the others were distracted. Aqua grabbed Sora by the back of his shirt and dragged Sora to the location she had spotted earlier. Jumping up to that ledge with Sora in hand was not easy for her. Aqua felt as if her arm would pop out of the socket.
Once on the ledge she let go of him and jumped then grabbing on to the pole inside the archway, "Sora, come on, climb up" she spoke as she groaned, the muscles in her arms aching as she pulled her body up the pole.
Luck was on their side as teacher and student climbed up into an empty home, it was quite spacey but they weren't staying long. Just till the heartless left on their own now that both keyblades had dematerialized.
Aqua taking deep breathes in and out as she took a seat down on the steps by the...window? Or was it a hole in the wall? Well whatever it was it gave Aqua a good view of the city as she was now scouting for Goofy, Donald and Princess Jasmine. As she was overlooking the city, Aqua, took out a special made potion for her health and magic; she drank it, no longer did her muscles ache.
She heard Sora casting a heal spell on himself. "Uh...Master Aqua, I think you should see this?" Sora had begun speaking to her. Aqua tore her eyes away from the view and then looked to see what has Sora all worked up.
And underneath a piece of furniture was a carpet and it was moving, alll on its own. It took the keyblade master by surprise.
"Sora, please move that object." Aqua wasn't sure as to why she asked him to do that.
Once done as asked, the carpet had flown off the ground and then was out the hole, "hey, it's heading for the desert, should we follow it?"
"Well, perhaps it knows something we don't and maybe it'll help us" she said to him.
And so the keyblade duo had followed the flying carpet all the way to the outer gate of Agrabah. The flying carpet had stopped right in front of them; it made a gesture to them, telling them to get on. "Wait, what about Donald and Goofy?"
"They'll be fine Sora, they're protecting the princess."
Aqua and Sora compelled and got on the magic carpet.
Once on, the carpet had set off at a quick pace, Aqua and Sora, held on to carpet as it speeded off; taking them to what would be unknown territory to them. Soon the winds had picked up as a small part of the desert began to change from day to night. "I have feeling where going over there" Aqua thought to herself.
"Where do you think it's taking us?" Sora asked. Aqua merely ignored the question.
They flew more closely to the darkening area.
"Aqua, look down now! Shouted Sora, as he watched as a man and a small animal resembling a monkey sinking into the ground; "we have to help them" Sora heard her say. It was like the carpet understood and so it started lowering its self to the ground where the sand was sinking.
Aqua leaned her whole upper half over carpet, "Sora, hold my legs" she told him. Aqua reached out her arms as soon as she felt two grips on her ankles.
Carpet went closer to the sinking man and animal; "Here! Grab my hand, we'll pull you up" Aqua shouted to him. trying to reach him, Aqua attempted to starch her body out more, She let out a painful groan as the man had managed to grab on to one of her hands, the man grabbed and held on to the animal until it could climb up on its own; then his other hand made it to Aqua's other free hand. Carpet began to go up and pull the man out from the sand while as Aqua tried to pull him on to the magic carpet.
Carpet was able to move away from the sinking sand and lower to a more secure ground, but since luck decided to leave the sides of aqua and Sora, as it can be expected heartless showed up, "oh, not these guys again" Sora said in whine like tone.
The nameless man grabbed an object out from the waist line of his pants, it looked like a golden gravy boat; "Genie, get rid of these guys" he said to the gravy boat that was not emitting smoke and then s strange blue man appeared from the smoke, poof, the heartless were gone as simple as that.
Heading back to Agrabah, they had quickly gotten to know their nearly quicksand victim and his animal companion, their names were Aladdin and Abu; while the blue man was a genie named Genie.
"I see...Thanks Sora, Aqua"
"Aladdin, what were you doing out here?" asked Sora.
"Oh just my usual routine, hunting for treasure; just paid a visit to the cave of wonders, where I had found that same magic carpet and this lamp," he told them.
"Legend has it, that whoever the lamp can summon..."
"Please kid, leave these intros to a professional, the one the only, genie of the lamp" exclaimed genie with such enthusiasm. "Rub-a-dub-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes come true; and today's winner is Aladdin, congratulations"
"Phenoamonal cosmic powers! itty-bitty living space" said Genie
"Well, I hate to be the one to burst your joyous moment here, but there's a Princess back in the city that needs our help." Spoke Aqua.
"Jasmine is in trouble! Well come on, let's get going" said Aladdin.
"So Jafar is after Jasmine and this 'keyhole'" Aladdin making sure he heard everything right, as Aqua explained everything from the moment she met Jasmine.
"Yes, I have a feeling what he'll want with the keyhole but as for Jasmine, it's a mystery to me." Aqua told Aladdin in a truthful tone.
"Keyhole eh, I could have sworn I've heard about that somewhere before" Genie started off. "Now where was it, it's only been 200 hundred years since then.
"That doesn't matter right now, we need to stop Jafar!" said Sora as they set to find Donald and Goofy the moment they get back to the city
"Setting your sights a little high, aren't you boy" said Jafar has he stood outside the palace gates with Jasmine in hand, while Donald and Goofy were captured by large bodied heartless. "Back in to your hole street rat, I will not allow you to trouble the princess anymore."
Jasmine was scared as she stood behind Jafar; she gave apologetic looks to Donald and Goofy and as well to Sora, Aqua and Aladdin. "Jasmine!" Aladdin screamed for her trying to step forward but was held back by Carpet. "I'm so sorry, Aladdin"
"Genie, Help them please!" Aladdin begged, as he now had his hands behind his back and was rubbing the magic lamp.
There was a gush of wind, the large bodied heartless that were crushing Donald and Goofy were into the ground disappeared while as that same gush of wind pushed passed Jafar,
One wish left! You're making this really easy, you know" Genie announced as he held Jasmine in his arms.
"So sorry boy but I am afraid your second wish has been denied." Threatened Jafar; Sora and the others took it as a clue to summon their weapons.
Aladdin didn't even feel the magic lamp leave his hands, as Iago took it from him, flying it over to Jafar. "I'm sorry Al." Genie said to Aladdin as he begun to disappear. Genie had dropped Jasmine; unfortunately she was caught by a heartless. "And now, I bid you all a farewell...Attack!" as Jafar vanished into thin air; with the lamp and Princess Jasmine in to his possession.
"Jasmine" Aladdin screamed once again. Jafar's manic laughing could be heard. "To the desert, come on, let's move!" he added. With the assistance from Carpet and Aladdin's gut feeling we headed off to save the princess and Genie from this mad man.
Our current location was the same spot where we first met Aladdin.
The second our feet had touched the sand, the ground had begun to quake as the ground shook, a mountain of sand was starting to take a near solid like form. The form it chose was that of a Siberian tiger. The tiger opened its mouth, inviting us in.
"Welcome to the cave of wonders" said Aladdin. Aqua merely nodded to him, she could see his worry for Genie and the princess ran deep. It reminded Aqua of herself.
And so we did.
We had to be careful when traveling inside the cave of wonders, Aladdin warning us of all the traps and holes that lead to an underwater pit or worse our death. As we made our journey further into the cave we came across so many heartless, we thought it would take forever to destroy them. The large bodies were the worst to kill; we had to find a specific spot just to destroy one. Luckily for us, they all share the weakness.
"My first wish Genie, show me the keyhole" Jafar ordered the blue magical entity as he held the lamp, the constant reminder of his servitude. Genie did show him the keyhole with a flick of his hand. Jafar laughed manically at he saw the keyhole.
While as Princess Jasmine laid unconscious on the stone floor of the room.
"Those wielders again" spoke Maleficent as she returned to check on Jafar's progress. So for the moment she was pleased but at the same time she wasn't.
"The woman is more persistent that I had imagined, why not explain that situation to that Riku boy; Doing so may actually prove useful to our..." spoke the sorcerer, unaware of the guests coming in behind him.
"Jafar, Let Jasmine go!" demanded Aladdin
"Maleficent" Aqua said as she put her eyes on the dark witch but the dark witch had vanished.
"Not a chance! You see she is a princess; One of seven who somehow hold the key to opening the door.
"Open the Door!" questioned Donald and goofy"
"But you fools, won't live to see what's beyond it, Genie, my second wish, Crush them"
"Genie no," pleaded Aladdin.
"Sorry, Al but the one with the lamp calls the shots. I don't have a choice" replied Genie.
With a raise of his snake scepter, Jafar using his magic to seal all entry's to this room and a guard over the keyhole.
Aqua and Aladdin headed right for Jafar, while as Sora, Goofy and Donald went to go fend off against Genie, which was something that didn't want to do but had no choice in that matter.
It was magic against a keyblade and sword. Aladdin tried to dodge the magic based attacks as much as he could but there was always a near hit. At the same time as as Aqua used her blade charge technique against the sorcerer. While as Sora's battle was interesting to say the least as Genie would apologize before an attack and even telling the trio to run.
While as the fight continued Jasmine now awake, was watching from afar, so she couldn't the figure walking behind her as he hit on the back of the neck and then carrying her away.
"Genie! My final wish; I wish to be an all powerful Genie" ordered Jafar as the old man had gotten away from Aqua and Aladdin.
As Genie granted the wish Jafar's body had begun to transform. His skin turned red, his eyes a golden yellow, his body changed to a similar shape like Genie's expect it was somehow more buff. Aqua, Aladdin, Goofy and Donald had preparing themselves for another fight. Genie was at loss on what to do however Sora had an idea, recalled when first meeting Genie; he said how he wished to be free from the lamp and the servitude.
So Sora snuck off, just about as Jafar was still transforming, "Hey Jafar, you wanted to be a genie and now you got it, and everything that comes with it!" shouted Sora as he held a black version of Genie's lamp.
"What! NO!" yelled Jafar as he was now beings sucked into the lamp.
"Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty- bitty living space" said Sora, once Jafar was in the lamp.
"Aladdin and Sora were by the Keyhole, as that was the last place they had seen Princess Jasmine.
"Jasmine...Jasmine" Aladdin yelling for her, the keyhole had become unguarded and a light was starting to shine through it. So naturally Sora's keyblade had locked another keyhole. The cave began to fall apart, "we better get out of here fast," Said Aqua, "Jasmine" Aladdin screamed again
"She isn't here, they must of have taken her while we were fighting Jafar" Aqua said to him.
"Now, let's get out of here"
They had gotten out of the cave just in time, to see it disappear back into the sand as they flew back to Agrabah.
The group taking refuge in Aladdin's home, which Surprised Aqua and Sora since it was their hide out from earlier. It's funny how something's are connected. Aladdin was sitting on his small set of steps, very depressed that Jasmine was gone. Aqua felt badly about it too, first Alice and now Jasmine.
"One of seven princesses, to open the door" thought Aqua, "Wait, Alice isn't a princess, could he have actually meant, the princesses of pure light!" her mind screamed.
"Uh earth to Al you still have one wish left." Genie said to him, "just say the words, you want me to go find Jasmine for you,"
"I...I wish for your freedom Genie"
"Al!"
They watched as the bracelets on Genie's wrists had opened.
"A deals a deal, Genie, now you can go anywhere you want, you are your own master"
"Speaking of going, it's time we left as well, don't you worry Aladdin, we'll look for her no matter what." Aqua said to him.
"So will I, Al, but as a favor, cause were Buds!" Genie said to him
Elsewhere,
"That slimy Vizier could have had them, if someone had stuck around and given him a hand" Hades said to Riku
"Look I did my part, I brought the princess didn't I" Riku retorted, to the god of the underworld
"Jafar was beyond help, Consumed by his own hatred one should be aware of letting it burn too vehemently" said Maleficent.
"Whoa...whoa, lighten up; I'm as cool as they come; oh by the way kid, we've got something special for you" said Hades
"Hm?"
"We had a deal yes? You help us and we grant you, your wish."
An image of Kairi, lying down appeared on the table, Riku leaned forward towards the image, and "Kairi!" he said.
"Go to her, your vessel is waiting" spoke the witch
Riku could hear foots steps coming into the room, "Just remember this! This isn't a pleasure cruise; it won't be a pleasant voyage" said the scratchy voice.
"Why are you doing all this for me? What's the catch?"
Maleficent spoke as she walked up to Riku "Catch? What's the catch? Silly boy, you're like a son to me, I only want you to be happy, unlike that master of yours" putting one of her hands on the side of Riku's face. "Riku pulled back quickly, "I seriously doubt that" he said.
"Believe, what you want? But unless we forget, that I kept my end of the bargain" and like that Riku began to take off.
