Chapter 26 Aladdin and the Genie
(Re-uploaded do to last minute changes)
Sora and co quietly crawled out of the city, trying to avoid the heartless. Not because they couldn't handle them, but they didn't want to risk revealing where Princess Jasmine was to Jafar. Once they reached the outside of the city walls the magic carpet positioned itself in front of the four of them.
"Do you want us to ride you?" Corrin asked to which the carpet nodded
"Sweet! A magic carpet ride!" Sora said as he jumped in front excited. Corrin jumped on next to Sora and Donald and Goofy jumped on the rear. Once everyone was settled, the magic carpet took off. The magic carpet flew the group across the desert towards a certain spot where a pile of quicksand was pulling in a young man and a monkey. Upon taking note of this, Sora and co jumped off the carpet and ran towards the man.
"Hang on, we'll get you out!" Sora said stopping in front of the quicksand pit.
"Please hurry!" the man said in panic. Before the group could attempt to rescue the two a massive swarm of bandit heartless appeared.
"Crap! You guys hold them off, while I get these two out of there." Sora said as he summoned his Keyblade and reached it towards the man. "Grab onto this!"
The man tried to reach it, but was struggling. "I-I can't reach."
"You have to try." Sora pleaded while trying not to fall in himself. The man reached and managed to grab the blade. The monkey grabbed on to as Sora pulled them both to safety.
"Thanks, now let me return the favor." The man said as he pulled out a magic lamp and pointed it to the Heartless that were starting to overpower Corrin Donald and Goofy due to their numbers.
"Genie, get rid of these guys!" the man said as he rubbed the lamp. Out popped a giant blue creature that wore blue pants with a red waistband, a golden hair tie and a pair of golden cuffs around the arms. He had no feet however and instead his body bellow his waist was in a mist like shape that was attached to the lamp.
"Wish number one, coming right up!" The Genie said, and with a snap of his fingers, the heartless all disappeared. Corrin blinked in surprise as he turned to his brother and his new 'allies'. The man they saved wore a purple sleeveless vest and white pants with a small hat on his head. The Monkey also wore a small vest with a similar hat on his head.
"Thanks for the help there, but who are you guys? I don't think I've seen you guys around before." The man said
"I'm Sora. This is my brother Corrin, and that's Donald and Goofy." Sora introduced. "We followed this Carpet out here."
"I see, well thanks Sora. My name is Aladdin and this is Abu." Aladdin introduced himself and his monkey.
"How did you do that?" Corrin asked
"With this." The Aladdin said showing Corrin a golden lamp. "I paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders and found that magic carpet there, along with this. It-"
"Please Al, leave the introduction to the professionals." The Genie interrupted. "Behold, I am the one and only, Genie of the lamp. A Rub-a-dub-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes granted. Today's winner is…Aladdin! Congratulations!" Genie said as he flew around and shake Aladdin's hand.
"Any wish?" Donald said with interest.
"Patience, my fine, feathered friend! Any three wishes!" Genie said as he spit into 3 beings each holding up three fingers. "A one wish, a two wish, a three wish. Then I make like a banana and split!" Genie said as each of him disappeared with the mention of each wish.
"Our lucky winner made his first wish. And let me tell you, what a doozy of a wish that was-." Genie said whispering the last part into Sora's ear.
"So, he has two left!" He said as two versions of himself leaned back to back.
"So, master, what will you have for wish number two?" Genie asked using his tail like a microphone and a spotlight that came out of nowhere shinning on Aladdin.
"Hmm, how about making me a fabulous wealthy prince?" Aladdin asked excited
"Oooh! Money! Royalty! Fame! Why didn't I think of that? Okay, you asked for it! A hundred servants and a hundred camels loaded with gold! Just ay the word and I'll deliver it in 30 minutes or less, or your meal is free." Genie said.
'He certainly is hyper.' Corrin thought with a small chuckle.
"Hey, I'll even throw in a cappuccino!" Genie said as he wrapped an arm around Aladdin.
"Uh, no thanks Genie." Aladdin said.
"Okay." Genie said a bit defeated.
"I think I'll put that wish on hold until after we reach Agrabah." Aladdin said.
"Uh, why a prince?" Goofy asked.
"Well, you see, there's this girl in Agrabah named Jasmine." Aladdin said thoughtfully. "But she's a princess. She'd never fall for someone like me." He said defeated
"Jasmine...Oh yeah, She's in trouble, Aladdin!" Sora said worried
Well come on, let's get going!" Aladdin said as they all boarded the magic carpet which was surprisingly able to hold all five people. Although it was a bit cramped.
As the group flew though the sky on the magic carpet back to Agrabah, Genie who was flying next to them was taking in the scenery.
"Ah the fresh air, and the great outdoors!" Genie said fondly.
"I guess you don't get out much, huh?" Sora said
"Comes with the job. It's always three wishes, then back to my portable prison."
"You're a prisoner?" Corrin asked
"Phenomenal cosmic powers. Itty-bitty living space. Part of being a genie. I'm lucky to see the light of day every century or two…" Genie said sadly.
"Say, Genie, what if I use my last wish to free you from the lamp?" Aladdin asked
"You'd do that?" Genie asked hopefully? 'Even if you don't mean it, the thought counts.' He added in his head.
"Genie, it's a promise. After we help Jasmine." Aladdin said.
"So, Genie, you can grant any wish?" Corrin asked
"Well, there are a few rules…" Genie said "Hey, is that Agrabah?" Genie asked pointing to the upcoming city.
"We left Jasmine at your place Aladdin." Corrin said
"Alright, let's go." Aladdin said as the group dropped off in front of the city. Genie returned to his lamp and the carpet followed behind. As the group entered however, they were met with a group of bandits heartless.
"It's never easy, isn't it?" Corrin complained as they drew their weapons and Aladdin drew a Scimitar.
"Alright, let's see if I can do more…Sonic Blade!" Sora shouted as he performed the technique. He went through the first three strikes with ease and attempted to do the forth but tripped and fell. Still managed to take out two heartless at least.
"Darn it." Sora muttered as Corrin helped him up.
"You'll get it soon Sora." Corrin encouraged. The two went back to work in taking out the heartless and soon managed to finish them off.
"Nice work you guys. And cool weapons." Aladdin said.
"Aw, I like yours to Aladdin." Goofy said
"Where did you get it?" Donald asked.
"I uh, 'borrowed' it from one of the palaces guards." Aladdin said sheepishly
"That's the second person we met on this quest to say 'barrow' like that." Corrin muttered to Sora who nodded.
Meanwhile back in Traverse Town:
"Ah-choo!" Yuffie sneezed "Ugh, is someone taking about me?" She muttered
"I'M NOT HEARING ANY SCRUBBING YUFFIE!" Cid shouted from outside
"I'M SCRUBBING!" She shouted back annoyed as she continued to wash Cid's Gummi ship. "Stupid Cid." She pouted
Back in Agrabah:
Aladdin and his new friends fought their way back to his place, but upon entering, they found the place more of a mess like there was a bit of a struggle and no sign of the princess.
"Jasmine!" Aladdin shouted
"Do you think Jafar found her?" Goofy asked worried.
"Great, what dose he want with her?" Corrin asked
"Well, we know he's after the Keyhole." Sora said.
"So Jafar is after Jasmine and this 'Keyhole'?" Aladdin asked
"Keyhole, eh? I could have sworn I heard about that somewhere before…" Genie muttered
"Really? Where?" Donald asked
"Now, where was it? It's been what, 200 years?" Genie muttered
"Well anyway, we have to stop Jafar before it's too late." Aladdin stated.
"Where would Jafar be?" Corrin asked
"Probably the palace. Let's go." Aladdin declared.
And with that the group ran off towards the palace.
In front of the palace gates Sora and co found Jafar standing before them Jasmine who was tied up and gagged.
"JASMINE!" Aladdin shouted as they ran towards the two but were stopped by Jafar pointing his staff at them that glowed red again.
Setting your sights, a little high, aren't you boy?" Jafar mocked "Crawl back into your holes street rats. I will not allow you to trouble the princess anymore."
Behind his back, Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp. "Genie, help Jasmine. Please!"
Jafar turned behind him in shock to see the Genie holding Jasmine in his arms.
"Wish number two! You're making this really easy, you know?" Genie said. However, before he could bring Jasmine over to Aladdin, Jafar suddenly smirked.
"Sorry boy, but I'm afraid your second wish has been denied." Jafar stated as Iago dropped the lamp in his hand.
"Wait, what?" Aladdin asked in shock as he and the others finally noticed the lamp was no longer in his possession.
"Crap, we were so focused on Jafar, that bird was able to sneak up on us." Corrin muttered
"I'm sorry Al." Genie said sadly as he vanished in a puff of smoke back into the lamp and Jasmine fell into a pot that suddenly grew spider legs and started to scurry off with many more pots doing the same.
"NO! JASMINE!" Aladdin shouted as they group started to chase the pots around the city.
"And now, with the lamp in my control, I will finally locate the Keyhole, and cement my rule over Agrabah!" Jafar gloated as he teleported away.
Sora and co spit up to go after all the pots that scurried around Agrabah.
"Get back here!" Sora shouted. Sora shot a blizzard spell at the pot freezing it in place, allowing him to slash the pot destroying it. "No Jasmine in here." And ran off after another pot.
"Hydro Shot!" Corrin shouted as he blasted a pot destroying it, which was revealed to have been empty. "Darn, no Jasmine here ether." Corrin muttered.
Abu managed to jump on top of a pot, and guided it towards Aladdin who slashed it, but it was empty as well. "Nothing…Let's keep at it, Abu." The monkey nodded and the two ran off.
Donald and Goofy chased a pot and managed to corner it.
"Charge!" Goofy shouted, only to miss the pot and slam into a wall causing Donald to facepalm.
"Oh brother." Donald muttered. As the pot tried to flee past Donald, he swung his staff destroying it which was revealed to be empty. "DARN IT! Come on Goofy!" Donald shouted as Goofy collected himself and followed Donald.
The last pot was making a break for it towards the Desert, but Sora managed to intercept it and destroy it. "Empty? But that was the last pot." Sora said
"So, this was a trap to stall us." Corrin said.
"So, where is Jasmine then?" Goofy asked
"Jafar must still have her. Let's see...if he's not in Agrabah then...Maybe he went to the Cave of Wonders!" Aladdin declared.
"Where is that?" Corrin asked
"Where you guys found me." Aladdin said.
With that, everyone jumped onto the magic carpet and rode off towards the Cave of Wonders.
And that's a wrap. Yeah, I decided to do something else for that Centipede battle. I should be able to finish up Agrabah in the next chapter so be sure to stay tuned.
Well, I've seen others do this so I might as well do this:
My 5 guesses/hope for DLC characters for Super Smash Bros Ultimate:
1) Shantae. Yes I know she is a spirit, but there are spirits for playable characters so that dosen't immediately dismiss her.
2) Next Fire Emblem Lord. They did it with Corrin, so I wouldn't put it past them. (I think it's Edelgard?)
3) Tails. Shadow is an assist trophy so, Tails I guess?
4) Bandana Dee. Not that big of a Kirby fan, but hey, A plant made it in so why not?
5) Sora. Yeah I know, the least likely to happen on this list but hey, a guy can dream!
Anyway, Follow and Review and I will see you guys next time.
