Everyone left the room and climbed the cliff. While they were trapped in a cage, Abu asked Iago about their chances of escape.
"Escape? Not likely." He looked at Carpet who was subdued. "Our ride home is grounded and as for our guys...Well, it's been nice knowing them."
"What's going on Dad?" Aladdin asked Cassim
"Oh, the challenge is simple enough. Only three men survive."
Sa Luk came out along with two muscle-bound thieves. However, both men emitted a swirling dark aura.
"Riku"
"Yeah. I sense it too."
"Knock them dead kids." Cassim encouraged them "Seriously." he said as he backed away
The referee stood in the middle checking to see that the players were prepared to fight. He raised his sword and struck it on the ground signaling the start of the challenge. The two burly men quickly transformed into Solid Armor Heartless. Armed with Keyblades and dagger respectively, the trio prepared themselves as their opponents rushed towards them. As Sora and Riku fought against the Heartless, Aladdin held his own against Sa Luk. Every time Sa Luk tackled him Aladdin retaliated. Cassim started to grow worried; this may have been his idea but he feared for his son's life. Sa Luk managed to slash Aladdin's arm with his knuckleduster. Aladdin held on using his dagger to defend himself.
Eventually Sa Luk knocked Aladdin down, picked him up and threw him over the cliff. Aladdin used his dagger to slow down his descent until he came to a complete stop and landed on the edge of the cliff. But he had no time to catch his breath as Sa Luk scaled-down the mountain to finish him off. Aladdin was trapped, but it was not hopeless for he had a plan. He jumped and avoided Sa Luk's knuckleduster to grab onto his dagger and kicked Sa Luk. Losing his footing, he screamed as he fell into the ocean.
"Aladdin!" Sora called out as he used a rope to climb down "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay." Aladdin gave one last look at the sea and then began climbing up. He retrieved his dagger in the process. Riku held onto the rope until the two made it back. They were met with silence and cold expressions from the thieves.
"Get them!"
Everyone was forcibly pulled and passed along until they were brought before Cassim.
"You've killed your opponents. The code of the Forty Thieves is very clear on this point...You're in."
The thieves cheered and thus began the celebration:
Congratulations bubs
You've joined the club
And everybody here agrees
We got the finest blend of nearly-honest men,
Welcome to the Forty Thieves!
A fraternity of thugs that you can trust
There's nothing up our eighty sleeves!
Got lots of grub to share
Pull up an easy chair
Welcome to the Forty Thieves!
Now you get to lie and cheat
Never have to brush your teeth
But we always aim to please
Iago tiptoed towards a pile of treasures but was captured by three thieves who began to treat him like a sick patient
Care for one another
You'll never miss your mother.
Iago: Oh I love you guys
Schemin up a scam
Out on the lam,
Takin whatever we please!
And if you like to lurk
You're gonna love this work!
Welcome to the Forty Thieves!
Iago made another attempt for the treasure but a thief began throwing swords scaring him but he got into the treasure nevertheless.
Welcome to the Forty Thieves!
Cassim: Together we're the perfect team.
(Aaaah)
Larceny is in the genes
(Aaaah)
Dare to share the family dream
(Aaaah)
Iago: Live a life o' leisure
Countin' all your treasure!
Iago was pulled out of the pile and thrown into Aladdin's arms as the group was quickly surrounded by the thieves holding swords.
As honorary members of the gang, that no one alive ever leaves!
You gotta snatch and sneak
Or else your future's bleak!
We got a lifetime contract that you're bound to keep
You wanna save your skin, you better fit right in
Wel-wel-welcome, to the,
Wel-wel-welcome to the
Forty thieves!
