Sorry it's been a long while folks, just lacked motivation for a while, but I'm hoping now I'll be able to update a bit more frequently. Anyways, the long awaited first part of Agrabah.
Also to those making requests on what I should do with the story, kindly stop asking so much. To quote Auron, "This is my story, and you're not part of it", it's sort of the reason why I hadn't been updating for a while. It just gets on you after a while is all. Well enough about me, onto the story!
(Having left Traverse Town, the group is now flying around in their Gummi Ship, looking for a new world)
Hiro: Man, I never thought any of this would happen. And I usually think of crazy things like this!
Celeste: Yet despite that you're only correct 30 percent of the time.
Hiro: It's more than all the others!
Mondo: So you're just filled with less bullshit than the others?
Hiro: Exactly! ….Hey wait a minute!
(Every laughed, but then Chihiro noticed something they hadn't seen before)
Chihiro: Huh? What's that?
(They eventually stop in front of what looked like an orange portal)
Sakura: I don't recall seeing this before.
Makoto: Where do you think it goes?
Chihiro: I guess there's only one way to find out, hang on tight guys!
Hifumi: I hope you know what you're-
(Chihiro then steers the ship into the portal)
Hifumi: -DOING!
(The world turned white for them, but then they found themselves on the other side of the portal, the space looking much different from before)
Mondo: Well, we're not dead, so that's a start.
Toko: B-Be careful next time! We sh-shouldn't just trust strange portals out of nowhere!
Chihiro: Trust me Toko, I had a feeling it'd help. Now let's keep going, the e-Handbook is picking up a signal.
(They continue flying, dealing with more obstacles and Heartless ships. Eventually they approach a new world, what looked like an Arabian city on top, and a large tiger's head below it all)
Makoto: Picking up anything from there?
Chihiro: Yep, someone's definitely down there.
Hiro: Who is it?
Mondo: It doesn't tell us who dumbass!
Hifumi: Well whoever it is, time we save them! Take us in Mr. Fujisaki!
Chihiro: Okay, I'll find a safe place to land.
(After ensuring the ship was in a safe place, the group landed, and found themselves at the entrance of an Arabian city out of the history books)
Makoto: Huh, well this is interesting.
Toko: Wh-What is this place? L-Looks like something you'd find in the M-Middle East… a few c-centuries ago.
Hifumi: I don't know, but it all seems quiet. Maybe the townsfolk got scared of the Heartless?
Sakura: Sounds plausible but…
Sayaka: Sshh, listen!
(The group hears people talking in the distance)
Chihiro: Someone's coming?
(From the distance)
?: ….As long as the Heartless are under our control, things will not be very difficult.
?: You shouldn't underestimate Makoto, you've seen what he's done already.
Makoto: Oh shoot they must be controlling the Heartless!
Hifumi: Quick, everyone hide and be quiet. Don't say a word!
(Everyone hides in the nearby stalls out of sight from the approaching people, the vizier Jafar, the witch Maleficent, and a girl unknown to them dressed like an army soldier, Mukuro)
Maleficent: And the keyhole?
Jafar: The Heartless are searching for it now. I'm certain we'll find it soon enough.
Mukuro: So that just leaves…
?: Squawk!
(Soon a red parrot flies down and lands on Jafar's shoulder)
Mukuro: Iago? Status report?
Iago: Guys! I've looked everywhere for Jasmine. She's disappeared like magic!
Jafar: Hmph, the girl is more trouble than she is worth.
Maleficent: You said you had things under control.
Jafar: Agrabah is full of holes for rats to hide in.
Mukuro: I told you I had the search under control Jafar.
Jafar: I need you by my side my dear, we cannot risk that street rat pulling anything.
Mukuro: I know, but our priority is the princess.
Jafar: Well why worry about Princess Jasmine? With her or without her, surely this world will be ours when we find the Keyhole.
Makoto: (Wait what? They're searching for someone?)
Chihiro: (Could they be…)
Celeste: (The ones who took Alice?)
Mukuro: You know it isn't that simple Jafar.
Maleficent: She's right, we need all 7 princesses of heart to open the final door. Any fewer is useless.
Mukuro: Why do you think I made it a point not to harm that girl when I kidnapped her from that strange world?
Mukuro: To think it was under *his* nose too, makes me feel a bit proud of myself.
Hifumi: (No way!)
Mondo: (She kidnapped her?)
Sayaka: (But who is she?)
Makoto: (And why does she… look so familiar?)
Jafar: Well, if the princess is that important, we'll find her.
Jafar: Find Jasmine, and bring her to me at once.
(On the vizier's command, 4 Heartless looking like middle-eastern bandits wearing turbans appeared wielding scimitars and 3 Monokumas resembling guards complete with turbans and their own swords appear)
Monokuma: You heard the boss man, let's go princess hunting!
Monokuma 2: Aren't we supposed to bring her back alive?
Monokuma 3: Well duh, now hurry up, we got business!
(Iago leads the Monokumas and Heartless away from the marketplace as the vizier follows them)
(Cue Villains of a Sort)
Maleficent: Don't steep yourself in darkness too long. The Heartless consume the careless.
Jafar: *laughs* Your concern is touching, but hardly necessary.
Mukuro: Just don't let your guard down around them, give them an inch and they'll take your heart.
Jafar: Focus on your job girl and I will on mine.
(Jafar departs)
Maleficent: Don't concern yourself with him, should his emotions cloud his judgement, then he will pay for it.
Mukuro: I'd prefer not to lose any allies should I be able to prevent it. Every soldier has its uses on the battlefield.
Maleficent: Perhaps, but sometimes you must realize when it is a good time to hang on, and when to let go.
Maleficent: You should know that better than anyone, correct?
Mukuro: …
Mukuro: Let Junko know we're making progress, if anything the princess hasn't left this town yet.
Mukuro: Give it time, we'll find her soon.
Maleficent: Very well, but you better bring her back soon. We are only two away after all.
Mukuro: I'm well aware Maleficent.
Makoto: (Maleficent?)
Maleficent: Then I hope you're well aware she is not one to disappoint, correct?
Mukuro: You don't need to tell me twice, just focus on your business and let me do my mission.
Mukuro: We'll find her, make no mistake about that.
(Mukuro snaps her fingers and summons a few more Heartless and Monokumas)
Mukuro: I'll do whatever it takes.
Maleficent: Just don't let your anger cloud your mind, we can't afford to lose someone valuable.
Mukuro: I won't, not until her goals are met.
(Maleficent disappears while Mukuro walks away, same direction Jafar went)
(With them gone, the group comes out of hiding)
Mondo: Well, I guess we got lucky there.
Sakura: So, it was Maleficent that had that girl kidnapped.
Toko: But what did she m-mean by seven p-princesses of heart?
Hiro: And this "final door"? Maybe it has untold power to destroy worlds in one blow!
Celeste: Or perhaps, it is a ground filled with Heartless.
Sayaka: Whatever it is, we can't let them succeed in unlocking that door.
Makoto: Agreed, we better find this "Princess Jasmine" before they do.
Makoto: But, who was that girl? I get the feeling… I've seen her before.
Sakura: Yes, she did seem familiar.
Chihiro: Maybe we… forgot about her?
Hiro: But she wasn't with the rest of us when we woke up at Hope's Peak.
Makoto: Regardless, she seems dangerous, we better watch our backs around here. I get the feeling this place is crawling with Heartless.
(Right on cue, several Bandits and Shadows appear, as well as a few Monokumas)
Monokuma: Wait, you heard all that?
Monokuma 2: Quick, kill them!
(Cue Agrabah battle theme)
Sayaka: Oh no you don't!
(Sayaka charges forth as the Monokuma blocks it with its blade. Hifumi gets a hammer from his jack-in-the-box and slams down on the mech while its distracted with Sayaka)
Monokuma 2: Oh come on!
(Meanwhile, the Heartless surrounded Sakura. She tried punching them but they kept blocking her strikes with their blades)
Sakura: They're rather impressive…
Sakura: But not good enough!
(She grabs one of them by the sword and tosses it into the air before leaping up and punching it to the others, taking them out. As more tried to swarm her, she managed to punch them back as Celeste pulled items from the stall and slammed them into the Shadows)
Celeste: Well, these are useful.
Hifumi: Mashing time!
(Hifumi slams the ground, causing the Monokuma to fly into the air)
Monokumas: Whoa!
Chihiro: Targets locked!
(And Chihiro shoots them out of the sky)
Toko: I'll handle the last ones, freeze!
(With one last ice spell, the last of the Heartless go down)
Sayaka: Okay, this is concerning. These guys are getting tougher.
Hiro: Well, that just means we need to get tougher too, right?
Hifumi: Hopefully we will, for now let's see if we can't find refuge so we can plan out our next move.
Chihiro: Hey guys, here's a good spot. Doesn't look like anyone's here.
(Chihiro directs them to some stair, leading up to a hideaway with a view of the entire city)
Toko: Seems like as g-good a place as any to rest for a bit.
(The group sat down to catch their breath and discuss what they saw)
Sayaka: So, it *was* Maleficent that kidnapped Alice.
Sakura: And it seems she is not alone.
Mondo: But who the hell was that other chick? She looks like she came from our world.
Makoto: I don't know why but…
Makoto: She looks...familiar for some reason.
Hifumi: Really?
Makoto: I remember seeing her in those images that flashed through my head, the ones where we were all together.
Celeste: Do you know who she is?
Makoto: …...No.
Chihiro: Well, maybe if we confront her, we can get her to tell us who she is!
Mondo: That sounds like a plan, but we shouldn't underestimate her. Something tells me she's a lot more dangerous than what we saw.
Hiro: You think she might be in league with Junko?
Makoto: Junko…
(Suddenly more images flashed through his mind, they noticed him staring off into space)
Hiro: Hey Makoto, something on your mind?
Makoto: I… think I remember something.
Celeste: What is it?
Makoto: She's definitely in league with Junko, that I'm sure of.
Makoto: The two are pretty close.
Toko: Are they d-dating?
Makoto: I...I don't know.
Sayaka: Well it's something to go off of, hopefully we'll find her and get some answers.
(Then out of nowhere, they hear something flapping. They turn to see a rug stuck under a dresser)
Celeste: Well that will get annoying fast. Can someone move that dresser?
Hifumi: Won't the rug just get blown into the wind?
Celeste: It is not like this place is getting used at all.
Mondo: Fine, I'll do it.
(Mondo moves the dresser, but the rug doesn't move. Then suddenly it stood up like it's sentient, shocking everyone)
Hifumi: IT'S ALIVE!
Sayaka: Is that a… magic carpet?
Hiro: A magic carpet? No way!
(The carpet then flew around the room before flying out through a hole in the wall and headed into the desert)
Makoto: Well… that was something.
Sakura: Should we follow it?
Chihiro: Later, right now we need to find the princess they're looking for.
Toko: G-Good point, let's hurry, before they find her.
(Feeling rested, they headed out and continued looking around. 2 hours later, they reconvene in an alley on the left side of the city)
Sayaka: Find anyone yet?
Hifumi: Nobody! It's like all the townsfolk disappeared, it's a literal ghost town!
Hiro: Nothing but Heartless and Monokumas.
Celeste: Hopefully we can find her soon, this heat is not good for my makeup.
?: Who's there? Hello?
(From the corner, a young woman with long black hair tied in a ponytail wearing turquoise pants with a matching crop top emerges from some boxes)
Sayaka: Are you Jasmine?
Jasmine: How do you know my name?
Hiro: Don't be scared, we're here to protect you!
Jasmine: You're not with those creatures are you?
Makoto: Definitely not.
(Feeling safe, Jasmine got out of the corner and the group introduced themselves)
Sayaka: So, you're a real princess?
Jasmine: Yes, my father is the sultan of Agrabah. But he's been deposed by Jafar, who now controls the city.
Hifumi: Who's this "Jafar"?
Jasmine: He's the royal vizier. He's gained mystical powers and seized Agrabah.
Jasmine: He's also desperately searching for something called the "Keyhole".
Chihiro: So he's looking for it too. Maybe he's working with Junko?
Jasmine: Someone you know?
Hifumi: All too well…
Sakura: Are you alright Your Highness?
Jasmine: Oh don't worry about those formalities, please call me Jasmine.
Jasmine: Anyways I'm alright, Jafar caught me trying to escape, but he saved me.
Sayaka: "He?" Who's that?
Jasmine: Aladdin, he was kind enough to save me. We were hiding nearby but he left a while ago to take care of something. I just hope he's alright.
Hifumi: Where did he go?
?: Yes, where might I find that street rat?
(They looked up to see Jafar, who had been watching them)
Chihiro: Is that Jafar?
Jasmine: Afraid so.
Jafar: Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear princess.
Jafar: These little rats won't do, you see.
Celeste: What did you just call me you slimy snake!?
Jafar: Sorry, I meant rats and mice.
(That set Celeste off)
Celeste: Why you!
(She shot her wires at the vizier, but a Monokuma got in the way)
Jafar: Sorry, but I don't have business with you. Out of my sight you trash!
Mondo: This guy's starting to piss me off.
Makoto: Jasmine, run! Don't let him catch you!
Jasmine: Right!
(Jasmine ran off, some Monokumas tried to pursue her, but Sakura got in their way and destroyed them before they could leave the alley. Ready for a fight, everyone drew their weapons)
Jafar: Ah, the boy who holds the key.
Makoto: We know what you're up to! We won't let you take the princess!
Jafar: Oh really?
Hifumi: We heard everything! The princesses of heart, the final door, the whole thing!
Jafar: What!?
Sayaka: Better give up now while you still can!
Jafar: Talk all you want, but you can never stop us!
(Jafar summons more Heartless and Monokumas)
Jafar: Deal with them now, before they become any more trouble!
Monokuma: You got it! Let's rip them apart!
(The Heartless and Monokumas jump down as Jafar walks away)
Mondo: Just great, more fucking enemies!
Chihiro: Hold them off, I'm gonna try something.
Makoto: What do you mean?
Chihiro: Just trust me.
Sayaka: Okay, but don't take too long.
Chihiro: It won't, don't worry.
(They charged into the horde of enemies, meanwhile Chihiro simply stood there gathering energy. Noticing it, the Heartless tried to charge him, but Celeste and Sayaka stood in their way and got knocked away. After a few minutes of fighting…)
Chihiro: Everyone get down!
(On his call, everyone ducked, and a huge surge of light began shining from Chihiro. As the Heartless and Monokumas charged him, a large wave of energy sprang from the orb, destroying the enemies as it kept going throughout the entire city)
Hifumi: Whoa! Mr. Fujisaki, how did you-
Chihiro: Guess I've still got a lot to learn.
Celeste: The same could be said for all of us, but now what?
Makoto: Well we've looked all over the city, but we didn't find this "Aladdin".
Toko: Wh-Why don't we check outside the c-city then?
Hiro: Are you crazy, there's nothing but sand out there!
Sayaka: Well what else can we do at this point?
Makoto: We should at least check the outskirts to be sure.
(Though some like Hiro and Celeste were reluctant, they decided to continue their search outside of the city. But upon heading out, the magic carpet from earlier arrived)
Hifumi: That carpet again?
Mondo: What does it want?
(It seemed like it wanted them to come along with it somewhere)
Makoto: I think it's trying to tell us something.
Sakura: What is it?
Makoto: I think we oughta follow it.
Celeste: You don't suppose it wants us to ride it, do you?
Chihiro: I'm not sure if it'll be able to support all of us.
Celeste: Hmm… you might be right.
(The carpet then began flying around and ended up scooping everyone onto it, however it was very crowded)
Mondo: Whoa! What's this thing's deal?
Sayaka: It must be urgent!
Toko: Can't we just….
(Without warning, the carpet began flying off into the distance)
Toko: WAIT!
(They flew for miles, eventually the desert became dark, eventually the carpet stopped and descended, allowing them to step off. They happen to notice a sinkhole, and it in, a poor-looking man and a monkey were sinking in the sand)
Sayaka: Oh no, that poor man!
Hiro: You think that might be the Aladdin that Jasmine was talking about?
Sakura: No time to think about that, we need to save him!
(They agreed and rushed to the sinkhole, but all of a sudden, Heartless and Monokumas began digging out of the sand)
Chihiro: AAAAAHHHH! They're coming out of the ground!
Makoto: They must've been waiting for us!
Monokuma 1: Another 10 points to Gryffindor.
Monokuma 2: Now let's see how much you'll bleed!
Makoto: Hold them off, I'll save Aladdin!
Hifumi: I'll come with you Mr. Naegi!
(Makoto and Hifumi headed to the sinkhole as the others fought back the enemies)
Celeste: Hold them off, don't let them get through!
(The Heartless and Monokumas tried to charge towards the two, but fortunately everyone else was able to stop them before they approached the sinkhole)
Mondo: You want them? You'll have to go through us!
Monokuma 1: Fine by me!
(In response, Mondo swung his iron ball around and knocked the enemies down. But even though some of them disappeared, more came out of the ground)
Sakura: This may be a problem.
Sayaka: It won't be if we don't give up!
(Sayaka charges into the enemy horde and starts taking them down, feeling confident by her act, the others charged in and fought them off. Meanwhile, Makoto and Hifumi worked on saving the man and the monkey from the sinkhole. After a few hard-fought minutes, they managed to get them out, but the enemies just kept coming)
Makoto: Are you alright?
?: Yeah, thanks.
Chihiro: Guys, I don't know if we can hold out much longer.
Hiro: They just keep coming!
(The man then brought out what looked like a lamp and said…)
?: Genie, get rid of these guys!
Toko: W-Wait, what?
(A puff of blue smoke emerged from the lamp, and as it cleared out came a blue being, screaming)
?: Wish number one, coming right up!
(And with a snap of his fingers, the enemies disappeared from their eyes, shocking everyone)
Sayaka: They're gone?
Mondo: The hell was that about?
(The night passed, Makoto explained to the man who they were and what was going on with them. It turned out he was the Aladdin that Jasmine spoke about, and he introduced his monkey Abu)
Aladdin: I see… Thanks, Makoto.
Makoto: So Aladdin, what are you doing out here?
Aladdin: Same old stuff, hunting legendary treasure.
Hifumi: Treasure?
Aladdin: Yep, just paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders. I ended up finding that magic carpet, and this lamp. Legend has it that whoever holds the lamp can summon the -
Genie: Please kid leave the introductions to a professional. The one, the only, GENIE OF THE LAMP!
Makoto: Whoa!
Genie: Just a rub-a-dub dub on the lamp, and then BAM! Here I am ready to grant your every wish! Just ask our lucky winner, Aladdin!
(Confetti suddenly starts falling down around the Arabian thief)
Celeste: Wait, any wish?
Genie: Well, there are a few exceptions, a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos.
Hifumi: How so?
Genie: Rule Number 1, I can't kill anyone!
(His head suddenly falls off)
Genie: So don't ask.
(Poofs and reappears between Makoto and Sayaka)
Genie: Rule Number 2, I can't make anyone fall in love with anyone else. Though between you and me these two seem like they're about to hitch up.
(He says as he pushes them together, both blush while Celeste looks back seeming jealous. Genie then poofs and reappears by Hiro)
Genie: Rule Number 3, I can't bring anyone back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture, I DON'T LIKE DOING IT!
(Said as he transforms into a zombie as a demonstration before poofing and reappearing normal)
Genie: But other than that, you got it.
Celeste: Any wish I want…
(Celeste then imagines her fantasy, a great European castle as she sits atop a throne, with a legion of vampire butlers waiting on her every order. And beside her was her king, hidden by shadows. As she approached him…)
Genie: Wow, quite the dream you have going on here!
(This shocked Celeste out of her daydream, and in a rage grabbed the Genie by the shoulders)
Celeste: If you do that again, I'll make you wish you never got out of that lamp. Understood!?
(Genie looks to the reader)
Genie: Quite the hot-head am I right? But anyways, back to the details!
(He then poofs out of her grip, then 3 of him reappear)
Genie: It just takes 3 wishes before it's back to the lamp for me! A one wish, a two wish, a three wish, then I make like a banana and split!
(Each one disappears)
Genie: Our lucky winner made his first wish-
(Reappears by Makoto)
Genie: And let me tell you what a doozy of a wish that was-
(Then two reappear…)
Genie: So he has two left!
(...Then both disappear before a spotlight begins shining on Aladdin)
Genie: So, master, what'll you have for wish number two?
(An imaginary crowd begins shouting and horns begin going off)
Celeste: This is starting to get annoying.
Chihiro: I think he's pretty cool.
Aladdin: Hmm, how about making me a fabulously wealthy prince?
Genie: Ooooh! Money! Royalty! Fame! Why didn't I think of that? Maybe I should've gotten ideas from…
Celeste: Don't… you… dare…
Genie: Right, bad call! Okay you asked for it! A hundred servants and a hundred camels loaded with gold! Just say the word and I'll deliver it in 30 minutes or less, or your meal's free.
Genie: Hey, I'll even throw in a cappuccino!
Aladdin: No thanks.
Genie: Okay…
Aladdin: I think I'll put that wish on hold till we reach Agrabah.
Celeste: If you do not mind me asking Aladdin, but why do you wish to be a Prince?
Hifumi: Tired of the peasant life?
Aladdin: Well yeah but, that's not it. There's this… girl, back home named Jasmine. But she's a Princess and well… she could never fall for a guy like me.
(It was with those words everyone remembered, Jasmine was in trouble)
Sakura: Princess!?
Sayaka: Jasmine!?
Chihiro: Oh no, we forget about Jasmine!
Aladdin: Huh? What's going on?
Makoto: She's in trouble, Jafar is after her, and he's got plenty of company!
Aladdin: What!? Well c'mon, let's get going!
(The group immediately hop on the carpet, but like before the space was limited)
Genie: Wow, and I thought my lamp was cramped. Here, hope you don't mind a little upgrade lil buddy.
(With a snap of his fingers, the carpet grew in size, giving everyone enough room)
Mondo: Much better, thanks.
Genie: Don't mention it, now, we move!
(The carpet makes full speed towards Agrabah, Genie flying right beside them. As they were flying…)
Genie: Ah, fresh air, the great outdoors!
Hiro: You don't seem to get out much do you?
Genie: Comes with the job I'm afraid, phenomenal cosmic power…
(He suddenly goes back into his lamp and they see him from the lid)
Genie: Itty-bitty living space.
Chihiro: Poor Genie.
(He then reappears beside the carpet)
Genie: It's always three wishes, then back to the lamp for the next couple of centuries.
Sayaka: That long?
Genie: Let me tell you, 10,000 years can give you such a creak in the neck. Hold on I'm feeling it again.
(He then picks up his head and spins it around before placing it back, screaming all the way)
Genie: There we go, seriously that gets annoying. I really need a masseur, so, what's the word with you guys?
Makoto: We're… refugees.
Aladdin: Refugees?
Sakura: Our world was taken by those same creatures you've encountered.
Mondo: And it's not like our life was looking to be that good.
Aladdin: What do you mean?
Sayaka: Well, we were selected to go to this prestigious academy based on our own select talents…
Genie: Oooo a talent show! Do you think they'd let me in, can I go, pleeeeeeeeease?
Makoto: It's less a talent show and more like a school for gifted people. We were all picked for our talents… Well, almost everyone.
Genie: I get the feeling you're speaking from experience.
Chihiro: Makoto's talent is the Ultimate Lucky Student.
Genie: Luck? That's a talent? Remind me to meet with my secretary about this, I need to expand my skill set.
Sayaka: But still, we're glad to have met him, he's really been a help to us so far.
Celeste: Agreed, thank you Makoto.
Genie: Ooooo, looks like little miss fancy has a crush on-
POW
Genie: Did someone get the number of that carpet?
Makoto: Huh, what was he-
Sayaka: Oh don't worry about it Makoto.
Celeste: Right, just focus on the mission at hand.
Genie: Better get a helmet for later buddy, it'll help you.
Aladdin: You know Genie, I've been thinking… what if I use my last wish to free you from the lamp?
Genie: Wait, really!? You'd do that for me?
Aladdin: It's a promise! After we help Jasmine.
Makoto: That's really nice of you.
Aladdin: I don't have much going for me, but I have that at least.
Makoto: You and me both.
(They finally arrive at Agrabah as they step off of the carpet, which shrinks back to regular size)
Genie: If you need a lift again just say the word and I'll make your travels much more cozy.
Mondo: Thanks man, alright, let's go find the Princess.
Aladdin: Mind if we make a stop at my place first, I need to check and make sure it's still there.
Sayaka: Sure, but let's hurry.
(They head into the city, but end up getting stopped by the appearance of more Heartless and Monokumas)
Monokuma 1: There you are, you dirty street rats!
Monokuma 2: The ruler has a few words for you.
Mondo: Well here, deliver THIS message!
(Mondo sends them flying into the sky, and with a twinkle in the distance, the others attacked)
Monokuma 3: Poor guys, only 3 more days till retirement.
Monokuma 4: Wait, there's a retirement plan?
Monokuma 3: Let's make sure we get it then! Charge!
(Aladdin drew out his sword and sliced the Monokumas down)
Makoto: Nice!
Aladdin: I've learned a thing or two on the streets.
Makoto: Okay, let's try this!
(Makoto charges towards the Bandits and manages to slice them down. Meanwhile the others were dealing with a new Heartless, an Arabian version of the Large Body, only this one spits fireballs)
Toko: We c-can't get behind it.
Celeste: Leave that to me.
(Celeste grabs the rotund Heartless and chucks it into the air. Hifumi takes the opportunity and gets a spear from his jack-in-the-box, prompting him to jump into the air and stab it)
Hifumi: Alright, one shish kabob coming right up!
(He slams it into the ground face first, allowing the others to come in and finish it off)
Sakura: That was close, good thinking Celeste.
Celeste: I always do.
Hifumi: Thanks for the setup, it really helped.
Chihiro: Well we wouldn't have been able to beat it without your help Hifumi, thanks.
Hifumi: Aw shucks, thank you Mister Fujisaki.
Genie: WAIT A MINUTE! TIME OUT!
(Genie then appears out of nowhere)
Genie: That's a man!?
Makoto: It's a… long story.
Genie: Let me guess… some guys didn't like how you were built and called you girly so instead of rising above it and trying to prove them wrong you decided to give in to the mocking and effectively became a girl while you kept calling yourself weak for years on end until suddenly things started changing drastically and you decided to stop being weak and finally live on as a man?
Chihiro: That's… that's right! How did you…?
Genie: Sorry my friend, trade secret. Can't have the powers that be after me.
(Genie then disappears)
Aladdin: ...Right, well let's keep going.
(Eventually the group reaches Aladdin's home, untouched from when they last visited)
Aladdin: *phew* Good to know the place is still here.
Sakura: If you don't mind us asking, why is this Jafar after the Princess?
Aladdin: Probably power, he also mentioned something called a "Keyhole".
Makoto: He's after it too?
Aladdin: Sounds pretty important.
Genie: Keyhole? Hmm….
Chihiro: What is it?
Genie: You know, I think I remember hearing something about a Keyhole before.
Hiro: Really? Where?
Genie: Now where was it, it's only been about 200 years.
Celeste: Well he is no help.
Genie: Ah c'mon, give me a chance. That's not THAT long ago for a genie!
Makoto: We better focus on saving Jasmine first, we'll worry about the Keyhole after that.
Chihiro: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think we might be too late.
Sayaka: Huh?
(Chihiro directs them to the palace gates, where in the distance they see Jasmine cornered by the evil vizier and the girl from earlier)
Aladdin: Jasmine!
Toko: Th-that girl from earlier is there t-too!
Hifumi: We need to hurry, let's go!
(They quickly jump out and head to the palace, dealing with minimal resistance from the Heartless and Monokumas as they approach. Upon finally arriving...)
Makoto: Stop right there!
Jafar: It appears the rats have finally come crawling out of their hole.
Celeste: Call me that again, and I'll tear you apart!
Mukuro: You seem to be setting your sights pretty high, don't you think?
Mondo: Who the hell are you?
Mukuro: No one of your concern… yet.
Jafar: Back to your hole, street rat. I will not allow you to trouble the princess any more.
Aladdin: Jasmine!
Jasmine: I'm so sorry, Aladdin.
Sayaka: Let her go!
Mukuro: Sorry, but as I'm sure you've already heard, we need the Princess.
Mukuro: And I can't have you causing trouble for her anymore.
Makoto: "Her"?
(Aladdin then grabs the magic lamp and rubs it while quietly muttering…)
Aladdin: Genie, help Jasmine. Please!
(Genie then suddenly appears behind Mukuro and Jafar, holding Jasmine in his arms)
Genie: One wish left! You're making this really easy, you know.
Mukuro: No! This can't be happening now!
Sayaka: Quick, let's get out of here!
Jafar: So sorry, boy. I'm afraid your second wish has been denied.
(Suddenly a Monokuma guard swipes the lamp and tosses it to Iago, who swoops in and catches it, before giving it to Jafar)
Mukuro: Quick thinking Jafar.
Aladdin: No!
Hiro: That's bad!
Genie: I'm sorry Al.
(Genie then disappears, causing Jasmine to drop into a pot)
Mukuro: We have more important things to be getting to, and frankly your existence is starting to make even me sick.
Mukuro: May I?
Jafar: But of course my dear.
(With a snap of her fingers, the pot Jasmine fell in grew spider legs, and suddenly all the pots around the market suddenly followed and began circling the group)
Mukuro: Consider this the beginning Makoto Naegi, I'm only just getting started…
Mukuro: KILL THEM!
(Suddenly two more pots behind them shattered open, revealing a centipede's head and tail, which combined with the pots to become a full-sized centipede)
Jafar: Interesting, if this is what you're capable of, then I'm curious to see what your sister can come up with.
Makoto: Sister?
Jafar: Farewell boy.
Mukuro: And good riddance.
(Jafar and Mukuro disappear, leaving the group to face the large Pot Centipede)
(Cue Shrouding Dark Cloud)
Jasmine: Aladdin help!
Aladdin: I'm coming Jasmine!
(Aladdin immediately rushes towards the centipede, but it swats him away)
Chihiro: Aladdin!
Makoto: We can't be reckless, take out the body and separate the head and tail!
Right!
(With the plan in mind, Chihiro floats up while the others attack the Pot Centipede. Makoto, Sakura and Mondo keep it busy while Hifumi, Toko, Hiro and Sayaka deal with the pots connecting it)
Mondo: Alright tough guy, try this!
(Mondo swings his iron ball, and ends up knocking the head off, sending it flying into some debris)
Makoto: Well, that just made this easier.
Sakura: Quickly, destroy the pots!
(Hifumi gets boxing gloves from his jack-in-the-box and begins taking the pots out, the others following suit. Once they're all destroyed, the tail begins running off)
Sayaka: After that tail!
Chihiro: Guys, we have a problem! More Spider Pots incoming!
Aladdin: Come on, we need to save Jasmine!
(Makoto leads his group and Aladdin into the center of town, where more pots are coming out of nowhere)
Sakura: We can't let it stay reformed for long!
Mondo: I'll take care of this, you guys handle the bug.
Aladdin: Got room for one more?
Mondo: Always glad to have a hand.
Sakura: Right, let's go!
(Makoto and Sakura chase after the head, leaving Mondo and Aladdin to face the onslaught of living pots)
Mondo: Been in any scraps before?
Aladdin: More than I'd like to admit.
Mondo: Glad it's not just me then.
(They charge into the fray, meanwhile with Chihiro)
Chihiro: Everyone's split up, I hope this doesn't end badly.
Chihiro: I better go help Makoto!
(Chihiro heads over to Makoto's location, meanwhile with Sayaka and the others)
Hiro: Get back here!
(They're eventually able to corner the tail in a row of alleys)
Toko: You've g-got nowhere left to run!
Monokuma: Same for you punks!
(Suddenly more Monokumas appear, these one as large and round as the Large Bodies)
Hifumi: Well, this isn't good.
Sayaka: Don't just stand there, fight!
(Sayaka handles the Ball Monokumas while the others attack the tail as it continues to flee)
Toko: I-I think I could use s-some assistance. Thunder!
(Toko shocks herself, allowing Genocide Jill to appear)
Genocide Jill: Tada! Guess who's back for some more mayhem?
Hiro: Jill, help us get this tail!
Genocide Jill: What? Help *you* get tail? No way, I am a serial killer, not a matchmaker!
Hifumi: No not that, this tail!
(The tail suddenly runs by Jill as more pots start appearing)
Genocide Jill: Well why didn't you say so? KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(She takes out her scissors and starts breaking the pots apart, and dealing plenty of damage to the centipede's tail)
Genocide Jill: They may not be pretty boys, but even I like letting loose every now again.
Sayaka: Incoming!
(Two scrap heaps then fly past Jill, them being the Ball Monokumas that appeared before)
Sayaka: Now to finish it off!
Hifumi: I'll handle this!
(Hifumi then runs forth and gives a barrage of punches to the tail, and with one final uppercut, sends it flying into the air, where it disappears with a blink in the sky)
Hifumi: And that's the power of "The Alpha and the Omega"!
Hiro: Great, let's go and find the others quick!
(Meanwhile Sakura and Makoto are fighting the Centipede's head as more pots try to form a body. But thanks to Mondo and Aladdin, very few pots are showing up)
Sakura: There can't be many more now.
Makoto: Let's finish this off!
(With his keyblade forward, Makoto began dashing back and forth dealing damage to the head)
Chihiro: Makoto!
Sakura: Glad you could make it.
Chihiro: I don't sense that tail anymore, just the head is left. We take it out, the pots should stop coming.
Makoto: Then here, it's all yours!
(Makoto launches the head at Chihiro, who draws his energy sword and swipes at it. Sakura then leaps into the air and slams down hard on the head, sending it into the ground and leaving a massive crater)
(With all its energy depleted, the Pot Centipede gives up and begins twitching before stopping cold turkey, allowing the captured heart to be released and it to fade. The Pot Spiders that were close by then break apart)
Chihiro: Just as I thought, the pots are gone!
Hifumi: Guys!
(Hifumi and the others then join up with Makoto)
Sakura: Are you alright?
Hiro: We're fine, but we can't find Jasmine anywhere.
Makoto: Quick, to the center of town!
(They head there to meet up with Mondo and Aladdin, the latter getting frustrated as he can't find anyone)
Mondo: Glad you guys made it, tell me you found the princess.
Genocide Jill: Nope, no ladies here, ugly or otherwise.
Aladdin: JASMINE!
(Jafar suddenly laughed, like he was watching them from some far off place)
Makoto: He must've gone back to the Cave of Wonders!
Sayaka: What makes you say that?
Celeste: I believe Genie said he remembered that Keyhole from somewhere, checking his place of burial might be a good spot.
Aladdin: To the desert! Come on, let's move!
(The group then heads back into the desert, heading toward the Cave of Wonders and off to save Princess Jasmine from Jafar, before it's too late...)
Hopefully Agrabah's conclusion won't be so far away, but you never know what the future has in store. Sorry for not updating for a while again, but I hope you're still enjoying the story. Next time, the confrontation with Jafar and the conclusion to Agrabah.
