Kingdom Hearts
Ch. 53
Agrabah
Introducing the Spectacular Genie
The exit is closed and the cavern was cool and dark. Aladdin was passed out on the Magic Carpet. The magic fabric began to move lifting Aladdin up causing him to stir. "Oh, my head," he said rubbing his head. Abu ran over to Aladdin appearing to be fine. They looked up at the entrance sealed in.
"Yehow that's smarts," said Goofy waking from atop a pile of rocks.
"Goofy!" said Aladdin. He then shouted out, "Is everyone okay?" Tarzan jumped effortlessly down the side of the rocky wall. The ape man managed to avoid the fall by grabbing on to the stone ledge before he fell. He hopped down to the solid floor with ease.
The rocks Goofy sat on began to rumble. Goofy looked around confused till Sora plopped from the pile of rocks screaming loudly raising his arms in the air accidentally punching Goofy. "YEEEEEEAAAAAH!" he cried proudly. "That was awesome!"
Goofy was knocked over becoming unconscious again. Jiminy crawled out of Sora's hood with his limbs shaking. "You can do whatever you like just next time leave me on the ship."
"So, everyone's here except," spoke Aladdin before he heard someone yell.
"Hey, help me out here will you," yelled Donald from a distance.
"Donald!" Aladdin shouted.
They all ran over to their friend including Goofy who regained consciousness. Donald was trapped under a giant boulder calling out from a tiny hole that was too small to climb out of. "You guys. Help I can't get out."
Aladdin went over and grabbed Donald's hand, but he couldn't fit his whole body through it. "Sora have any ideas," he said turning to the young keyblade wielder.
Sora explained, "Don't need Tarzan's got it. But you might want to step back a bit."
Aladdin looked to his left to see Tarzan grabbing hold of the boulder. Aladdin quickly let go of Donald.
Electric energy spurred around Tarzan's body. The ape man then lifted the boulder like a medicine ball before tossing it to the other side of the room causing the cavern to shake. Donald crawled out of the hole brushing the dust from his feathers. Goofy looked up while the others followed staring at the sealed entrance.
"Were trapped," said Aladdin beaten before sitting down on a rock. "I'm sorry everyone," he said defeated. Abu crawled over to him resting his head on Aladdin's lap.
"What don't give up just yet. What about Jasmine and Agrabah?" said Sora perplexed.
"There's no point. We're never getting out of here." Aladdin said sighing.
"WHAT!" Sora shouted getting everyone's attention. "We can't stay here. I need to find my friends. I can't die here."
He ran to the nearest wall trying to climb it. The rocks were too hard and steep to grasp. He fell on his butt before getting up and trying again. His attempts were fruitless as he never made more than 20 feet up before falling down again.
"Sora," said Donald seeing his friends plight.
Aladdin reached into his pocket pulling out the lamp. "All of this for a stupid piece of junk. Hey, I think there's something written here, but it's hard to make out." He rubbed the lamp wiping the gunk off its surface.
Suddenly smoke exited out of the hole of the item. The lamp begins to shake and glow, but Aladdin held onto the lamp. The smoke rises into the air taking the shape of a human figure. Sora stopped climbing as he looked to see the figure give off a bright blue glow. Donald ran behind Goofy while Tarzan brought out his spear in defense. The figure screamed loudly as it took the form of a giant blue barrel-chested man with three fingers and black hair tied in a ponytail and a beard with a swirl that sticks out at the chin. His lower-half was smoke and he wore a red sash around his waist, a gold earring on his right ear and a pair of gold wrist bracelets.
"Aaaaahhhhh! OY! Nine whole years will give ya such a crick in the neck!" He hangs Aladdin on a nearby rock. Then he pulls his head off and spins it around, yelling as he does so. Carpet pulls Aladdin down. "Whoa! Does it feel good to be outta there!" Genie uses the lamp end of himself as a microphone. "Nice to be back, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, where ya from?" He sticks the mic in Aladdin's face. "What's your name kid?"
Sora stopped struggling seeing the amazing being in front of him. "Wow. First Griffin's. Then Princesses. And now Genies. The outside world is like a storybook come to life."
Tarzan put down his spear believing the Genie not to be a threat. Donald poked his head out to see the Genie moving and speaking. Even Jiminy was in awe looking at the blue man.
"Uh, Al-uh—Aladdin," he said answering into the microphone. "Aladdin!"
The Genie says his name as if he's discovered something major. A neon sign lights up with Aladdin's name on it, circled by chase lights. The sign changes to reflect the Genie's upcoming line. "Hello, Aladdin. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you 'Al?' Or maybe just 'Din?' Or how bout 'Laddi?'" Genie disappears, then a dog wrapped in plaid jumps in. "Sounds like 'Here, boy! "C'mon, Laddi!'"
Aladdin shook his head, "I must have hit my head harder than I thought."
Still a dog Genie asks, "Do you smoke? Mind if I do?" The dog poofs into smoke, then turns back to the Genie. Abu screeches wildly. Genie spoke with glee, "Oh, sorry Cheetah-hope I didn't singe the fur! Hey, Rugman! I was worried that we would not see each other for another millennium or two! Slap me some tassel! Yo! Yeah!" Carpet flies over and high fives the Genie. He looks at Aladdin. "Say, you're a lot smaller than my last master." The Genie lifts his beer-gut. "Either that or I'm gettin' bigger. Look at me from the side-do I look different to you?"
"Wait a minute! I'm-your master?" Aladdin asks confused.
The Genie slaps a diploma in Aladdin's hand and a mortarboard on his head. "That's right! He can be taught! What would you wish of me?" he says like a ring announcer at a boxing match.
Sora runs over to Aladdin shouting, "Aladdin this is incredible. If you rub a lamp you get three wishes."
"Oh, this little one did his homework. Well he's is correct. Three wishes exactly. And ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes," the Genie asserted.
The others ran over to Aladdin. "You could wish for anything?" they all said.
"You could wish for a mountain of gold," suggested Donald.
"You could wish for the ability to make any food appear without cooking it," said Goofy.
"You could wish for all scholarly knowledge in the world to appear at your fingertips," said Jiminy.
"You could wish for a way out of here," mentioned Tarzan.
"Well not everything. You see I have certain rules that I'm not allowed to brake."
"Like?" said Aladdin.
"First, I can't kill anybody," said the Genie who slices his head off with his finger. "So don't ask. Second, I can't make anyone fall in love with anyone else." His head turns into a big pair of lips which kiss Aladdin. "You little punim, there. Third I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture," He grabs Aladdin and shakes him in the form of a zombie. "I don't like doing it! And finally, the wish can't affect the wishes of my previous masters while they are still around. Other than that, you got it."
Aladdin looks at Abu as if their plotting something, "Ah, provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes?" He turned towards Abu, "Some all-powerful genie-can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, you guys-he probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out of here—"
"What are you doing?" said Donald a bit confused and scared.
They start to leave, but a big blue foot stomps down in front of them. "Heh I see what you're doing," he laughed waving his wrists smiling. "Sorry kid you're a bit too late for that scam. I already fell for that trick once. I'm not going to fall for it again. If you want to get out of here. You gotta cash in one of your all so precious three wishes."
"Well, it's worth a shot. You win, I guess. Genie I wish for you to get us all out of this cave and bring us to Agrabah," said Aladdin a bit disappointed.
"Alright!" the Genie shouted shaking his waist and shoulders around. "Wish number 1 granted."
Genie used his magic to put every one of the Magic Carpet. Genie takes the form of a stewardess, with lots of arms pointing out the exits. "In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here here, anywhere! Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet. Weeee'rrrrrreee...outta here!"
The Carpet and passengers fly out of the sand in the desert and off into the distance.
