Chapter 19

Agrabah 2-Duel in the Desert

"So Genie, tell us again why we have to go to Agrabah?" Sora asked as they flew through space toward Aladdin's world.

"Remember Phantom?" Genie asked and only got looks in return. "Okay, dumb question. I think Phantom was created by Ansem to either defeat you or slow you down."

"I figured that much," Sora nodded.

"I think he created another creature like that and I think he placed it in Agrabah."

"So there's another Phantom in Agrabah?" Goofy asked.

"No, it's just as powerful but it's something different."

Unlike before when Sora, Donald, and Goofy were the only ones on the empty streets, the Market Place was now filled with people buying various things.

"I think we should have just left the Heartless here," Sora joked. Donald looked at him and wasn't sure if he should laugh or scowled Sora.

"There it is," Goofy pointed out Aladdin's house and they fought through the crowd to get to it. They climbed into it but Aladdin was nowhere to be seen. The carpet was lying in the corner, seemingly sleeping.

"What are you guys doing here?" Aladdin's voice came and they turned to see him behind them with a small monkey on his shoulder.

"So this creature should be somewhere in the desert?" Aladdin asked as he fed his monkey, Apu, some food. "That doesn't really narrow it down."

"We were thinking somewhere near the Cave of Wonders," Sora suggested. "But we're not entirely sure."

"It's worth a try," Aladdin shrugged and the carpet flew over them. They all hopped on the carpet and the carpet flew out into the desert.

The carpet flew along, the riders scanning the desert searching for anything out of the ordinary. There was an eruption of sand in front of them and it forced the carpet off its path and threw the four of them to the ground. They stood up as quickly as they could and caught sight of what came up from the sand.

It was big, very big. Its legs were normal and about the size of an average man. Its torso looked like a shell, protecting its real body. He had six long arms coming from its sides, three from each side and each one holding a deadly looking scimitar. Its head was that of a large cobra and its entire body was sand-colored.

"Greetings Keybearer and friends," the creature said in a snake-like voice, hissing it s. "My name is Kurt Zisa and Master Ansem has ordered your destruction!"

"Of course he has," Sora sighed as he summoned the Oblivion. He started to power up a Thundaga spell. Kurt Zisa laughed and its two middle arms started glowing and two orbs of energy appeared in his hands. "Thundaga!" Sora fired the spell but it didn't appear. He tried again but he couldn't use his magic.

"Give up fool," Kurt Zisa laughed. "As long as I hold these two orbs you can't use any magic at all!" Sora let out a small growl and lunged forward with the Oblivion raised. Kurt Zisa used one of its arms to block his attack and its other three blocked attacks from Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin.

Kurt Zisa's top two arms started spinning really fast and they had to jump away but Donald was caught on his shoulder. He tried to cast Curaga but then remembered that he couldn't use magic. Goofy ran forward and went to ram his shield into Kurt Zisa but it crossed its four arms over its chest and formed a shield that Goofy bounced off.

Aladdin ran forward and blocked a strike from the top arm and then deflected a strike from the bottom one and then flipped sideways to avoid a third. Kurt Zisa'a torso was left open and he jammed his scimitar at it but it was too hard to be penetrated. Aladdin quickly back flipped away and out of danger.

Sora took a turn and ran at Kurt Zisa and at the last minute jumped as high as he could and vaulted over its head and landed behind it. While Kurt Zisa was turning around Sora brought the Oblivion down and slashed straight through the orb on the left and it was destroyed.

"You'll pay for that!" Kurt Zisa yelled as a scimitar replaced the orb and he slashed at Sora. Doing this, Kurt Zisa turned his back on the others just long enough for Aladdin to rush forward and slash through the other orb.

"Curaga!" Donald was finally able to cure himself and he let out a sigh of relief. Kurt Zisa snarled at Aladdin and soon realized they had surrounded it on each side. With a laugh Kurt Zisa held up all six of his hands and six balls of fire came from them. They were slow moving but looked powerful.

"That's an attack?" Sora almost laughed. "That's way too slow to hit us." Sora ran at Kurt Zisa and easily dodged the fireball but just as he was closest to it, it exploded with great force and Sora was thrown through the air and slammed down hard into the ground, bouncing a few times.

The remaining fireballs exploded and sent the other three flying as well. They got back to their feet to see Kurt Zisa floating a few feet off the ground and a green sphere suddenly surrounded it. Goofy ran forward and drew his shield back before smashing it into the sphere but he was thrown back as some kind of blast came from it.

"Nothing can penetrate my shield!" Kurt Zisa laughed as it launched some more fireballs at Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin. But for Sora it placed its arms forward and six small tornados about twice Sora's size formed around him. The tornados closed in on Sora and he was soon caught up inside them. Sora was thrown into the air by the tornados and landed right above the fireballs and they all exploded sending him through the air once again and he slammed hard into the ground. He tried to push himself up but he dropped back down, unconscious.

"If we can't penetrate his shield we have to destroy it!" Aladdin yelled. Goofy and Donald rushed forward as Kurt Zisa was slowly moving toward Sora with all its scimitars raised in the air.

"Thundaga!" Donald shot the spell forward and to his surprise Kurt Zisa was hit by the attack and thrown back. The shield started to flicker but stood steady.

"Good job Donald! We'll need more of that!" Goofy said. Donald was way ahead of him and was already charging up a powerful Thundaga to destroy the shield. Aladdin distracted Kurt Zisa as Goofy ran to Sora and picked him up, placing him a fare distance away to keep him safe.

"Thundaga!" Donald launched the powerful attack and Kurt Zisa'a shield was blown away and finally destroyed.

"You will not defeat me!" Kurt Zisa yelled in fury and suddenly flattened itself into a disk with its arms sticking out and his scimitars forming some kind of razor blade. It started spinning really fast becoming like a large buzz saw. Aladdin dove away as it flew down toward him but the blades tore into his torso.

"Curaga!" Donald cast on Aladdin but had to duck as it flew over him.

"Donald!" Goofy yelled. "Can you get it to stay on the ground?" Donald shrugged and went over his spells in his head.

"Graviga!" Donald launched the third level Gravity spell and caught Kurt Zisa in it and it crashed into the ground.

"Charge!" Goofy shouted and launched himself forward and crashed straight through Kurt Zisa, destroying it. Goofy hit the ground and lay there. They would need a good rest after this.

After saying their goodbyes to Aladdin our three heroes climbed back into the Gummi Ship when Phil's voice came over the radio.

"Oh, not again," Sora dropped his head into his hands.

"Sora! There's some guy here that wants a match with you! He's threatening to kill everyone if you don't show up! Says his name is Sephiroth!"

Author's Note- I know what you're thinking: Gasp! An update! The end of the world is upon us! Well I'm sorry for the two month delay but I had some...complications. Add together one month of writer's block and another month of computer troubles and you get two months of no update. So as a way to say sorry the next update will have not one but two chapters! Including one with everybody's favorite One Winged Angel. A warning, due to Sephy's evil nature the next chapter will be pretty graphic. Those with weak stomachs may want to just skip it. (Though it's going to be one hell of a fight!)

Until next time, this is the Prince saying, Love and Peace! (I don't own the anime Trigun or any of its catchphrases.)
