A couple of announcements before I start the chapter. I now post this fic on Ao3, making it my first fanfic on that site. I also made a couple of changes to the format of the past chapters and the chapters to come. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter XXIII- Agrabah (Part 1)
Shortly after sealing the Keyhole, the team decided to get going. They were about to board the upgraded Gummi ship before Leon and the other's stopped by as well as the newly acquainted Simba and Bambi.
"Aw you gotta leave already? I'm sure the townspeople would like to throw a party in in your honor." Yuffie said.
"Sorry, but there are more worlds out that need our help."
"Sora is right, we have no time to waste." Koga added.
Leon gave a small smirk. "Perhaps you two will make great Keyblade masters..."
"Aw Leon, that must be the nicest t-"
"...If you ever become one."
"And there it is."
Cid cleared his throat. "Um what about Mr. Lion and Deer over here? Shouldn't they stick with you?"
Koga looked at the two people he summoned. "They deserve to relax here where it's safe for them. And besides I got these." He pulled out the summon stones.
"I thought that vanished when Simba and Bambi appeared." Goofy said.
"Nope, see after the fight I found these on the ground and then I got this feeling. Like this feeling like they are still connected to them. But I don't get it, why are they still here then?"
"That's summon magic. You can use it to make them fight by your side during battle. They will return to where they were after."
"So we can just summon them to us anytime?" Koga shrugged. The Lion and Deer looked unsure as well.
"That's is how summon magic works." Donald confirmed. "But it uses a lot of MP so don't overdo it!"
"Well alright then, so you can give them a proper place to live right?"
Cid scoffed. "Well sure, I'll just take them to the local zoo that we definitely have."
"Great! Well then take care, we'll be back eventually goodbye!"
"No wait, kid I was kidding!"
***Later***
"I gotta say, Cid sure did a good job upgrading the ship." Goofy said
The ship got a bunch of new upgrades. Cid managed to make the inside much more spacious. And it make a bunch of 'bleeps, sweeps, and creeps' sounds as Sora put it. There was a little shaft that led to the weapons turret, that Koga was made in charge of. It can fire cannon shots and homing lasers. He was currently using it on the Heartless ships that are attacking them.
"I know! I have never seen Koga like this in a long time." Sora laughed nervously.
"HAHA, DIE HEARTLESS!" Koga manically laughed, blasting the Heartless out of the sky."
"Wish he added a radio." Donald grumbled.
"Aw really Donald? All the new things we got and that's all you have to say?" Sora exclaimed.
"We could always sing." Goofy suggested.
"Goofy, please no travel singing." Koga commented. "By the way, is that a new world I'm seeing in my screen?"
"Yep! Now let's see, next stop Agrabah!"
Agrabah was bustling desert city with a grand palace. People bustled around around the marketplace, day after day. Now it was empty, save for two individuals.
"And the Keyhole?" Maleficent asked, her raven perched on the end of her staff.
"The Heartless are searching for it now." Jafar said. "I'm certain we'll find it soon enough."
"Perhaps if you weren't too busy playing Sultan then you would have found it quicker." The witch said unimpressed. "And there is just one thing left..."
They heard a squawk ring out, signaling the arrival of Jafar's loyal parrot. Iago perched on Jafar's shoulder, avoiding looking at the creepy raven. "Jafar! I've searched everywhere for Jasmine. She's still missing!"
Jafar puffed and angry breath. "How ungrateful, first I spare her foolish father, then I allow her to still live in luxury and splendor and this is how she repays me! That girl is more trouble than then she's worth."
Maleficent gave a glance at the Vizier, now sultan, before she continued walking. "I thought you said you had things under control?" The raven screeched at them to express her frustration. Iago flinched while Jafar only scowled. "Remember that we need seven princess of heart to open the way to the final door. Any fewer is useless."
"Do not concern yourself Maleficent, if she is that important, we'll find her." Jafar said, him and Iago smiling evilly. He snapped his fingers and a bunch of Heartless looking like Arabian bandits appeared.
Bandit
"Find princess Jasmine and bring her to me at once." He ordered them. Iago flew off, leading the Heartless. Jafar was about to return to the palace when Maleficent stopped him.
"Don't steep yourself in darkness too long. The Heartless consume the careless."
Jafar laughed it off. "Your concern is touching but hardly necessary."
None of them noticed that said Princess was hiding behind a food stall hearing everything. She wore a aqua colored top that showed her mid drift and baggy matching pants, she also had precious jewelry on her. She knows they left by now but she remained hidden for awhile.
It wasn't until later she heard the metal clank of swords clashing near her. She peered out and saw a group of strangers attacking these Heartless that roam the streets. They dressed strange and had strange weapons but they looked friendly. One used a staff light a magic wand, the other used a shield, while the two boys used swords shaped like keys. When they took care of the last of the Heartless they looked to each other.
"This really doesn't look good Koga. It's a ghost town here and the Heartless are everywhere."
"And they're stronger than the one's from before.
"Well maybe Kairi or the Keyhole is somewhere in town. Either way, we can't let the Heartless get to them!"
"Um excuse me." Jasmine said, stepping out of the stall. The others noticed her and paused, surprised to see someone in town."Who are you?"
"Um, I'm Sora. This is my brother Koga, and they are Donald and Goofy."
"We're travelers." Donald said. Though Jasmine could tell it was a half truth.
"What's wrong with your brother?" She said pointing to him who was blushing crazy.
"Oh, he's always like that when he's near a pret-"
"IT'S THE HEAT!" Koga exclaimed. He then cleared his throat. "Um, anyway who are you?"
"I'm Jasmine, my father was the Sultan of Agrabah."
"So I guess that makes you a princess." Goofy said. Jasmine nodded.
"Wait, was. What happened to him?" Koga asked.
Jasmine frowned. "It was because of Jafar. He was the royal vizier but he was plotting to overthrow my father. I heard he teamed up with someone called Maleficent and are looking for a Keyhole." The other's widened their eyes. "She provided him with these things they call the Heartless. They overran the kingdom and held me and my father captive, the people of the city hide in their homes now in fear of their new ruler."
"How did you escape?" Donald asked.
"A man from the city helped me escape, and keep me hidden. He then went into the desert telling me he had to take care of something."
"Do you know how we can find him?"
"Try his house over in the rooftops of the bazaar, he said something about a carpet." She clutched her skull in concern. "He's been gone for awhile now, I hope Aladdin is safe."
"Aladdin?" Everyone jumped back and saw Jafar sneering at them from across the marketplace. "Where may I find that street-rat?"
"Jafar!" Jasmine gasped. Goofy and Koga stood in front of her in protection.
"Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear princess." He looked at the strangers to this world, not realizing who they are. "These little street rats won't do, you see."
"Jasmine run!" Sora said. She nodded and ran off into an alleyway. Sora and Koga pulled out their Keyblades. Jafar's eyes widened seeing the weapon.
"Ah, the Keybearers."
Sora and Koga stepped back in surprise. "How do you know about the Keyblade?"
Jafar laughed and stepped back as Bandits appeared. They charged at the group with their scimitars. Koga punched one and as it was knocked back hit it was a fire spell. Two more rushed at him but Goofy deflected it. More of the Bandits came in from the other streets as the group tried to push them back.
"We're getting overwhelmed!" Koga said.
"We need to get out of here!" Donald shouted.
Sora looked around and saw a pole on the side of the building leading to the upper floors. "Over there!" He pointed. The others followed Sora and climbed up the poles. They reached the top and found themselves in an broken down room. Old cloth litter the area, part of the roof was broken down, there was a large hole in the wall that gave a good view of the palace.
"This must be the house Jasmine told us about." Sora said.
"What do we do now?" Donald said.
"Uh..."
"You didn't think of an escape plan?!" Donald shouted angrily.
"I didn't think this through okay!?"
"Hey, a little help here?" Koga said. He was struggling to push a crate over the entrance. Sora helped and together they blocked the entrance. The Heartless banged on it from below. "That won't hold them for long."
"Hey guys, there's uh somthin over here." Goofy pointed to a knocked over cabinet but had a Carpet caught under it. Strangely enough the Carpet was struggling to get out.
"Let's give it a hand." Koga and Goofy moved the cabinet and the Carpet got free and into the air.
"A magic carpet?" Donald said. The Heartless were almost through the entrance. Carpet gesture at them with it's tassels to get on him.
"C'mon, we're riding that Carpet out of here!" Goofy hollered as they all jumped on. The Carpet flew them out of the house through the hole in the wall.
"This is amazing!" Koga said with a wide smile on his face. The Carpet flew fast through the streets and out of the city into the desert.
"Where is it taking us?" Donald asked.
"I don't know but hold on."
The carpet flew them through the desert for awhile. It was dark by the time they landed. They arrived at a ring of large rocks in the desert. In the center there was a sinkhole with a man and a small monkey trapped in it.
Sora went over and reached out his hand. "Hey, grab on!" The man looked at him and took his hand. He pulled the man up while Koga reached for the monkey.
The man groaned as he wiped off the sand on him. He wore a purple vest, old baggy pants, and a fez hat. The monkey dressed similar to him.
"Thanks for the rescue." The man said. The monkey screeched in response.
"No problem, hey, your name wouldn't happen to be Aladdin would it?"
He nodded his head. "That's me, local street rat and here's my best friend Abu. But how do you know my name?"
"Uh guys?" Koga squeaked. They were ambushed by a very large group of Bandits, almost 50 of them.
"Not again!" Donald said. Everyone huddled up as they got closer.
"Will they ever stop chasing us?" Sora exclaimed.
"Genie get rid of these guys!" Aladdin said pulling out an golden oil lamp. He rubbed it and blue smoke spewed from it, covering the area. Out of the smoke came a large blue man with golden cuffs and a single tuff of hair on the back of his head.
Genie stretched his arms and looked at the Heartless. "All right, Wish Number One coming right up!" He said boastfully as he snapped his fingers. In a instant all the Heartless vanished in a puff of smoke.
Sora Koga and the others were both surprised and relived to see the Heartless gone.
Aladdin looked to them. "So, how did you guys get here?"
That's it for now. If you spend more time on Ao3 then check me up, my name and my story are still the same.
See you guys next time,
HAVE FUN!
