A/N: This chapter is long too, because of the fact that there's a scene happening at the Coliseum that takes up some room. I also changed the dialogue a bit too......hehe.
Chapter 5: Argrahbah"Hey guys! Lets drop by the Coliseum. Maybe Phil might have some battles for us in the Preliminaries." Yumi said. They all drove the Gummi Ship down to the Olympus Coliseum and entered the Lobby.
"So, you wanna enter huh? Just to let you know, so real weirdos signed up for this...." Phil said.
"Aww, no worries, Phil. We'll take 'em all down! Heh......" Sora said.
When they reached the Coliseum arena, the weirdos that Phil said that signed up were all Heartless. They took them all down until Match 3.
"Say, you're better than I thought, kid! Wish he could see this." Phil said.
"Who's he?" Yumi asked.
"Hercules. He's a hero if ever there was one. Too bad he's off visiting his father." Phil said. Phil went back in and they went through matches 4 to 6 like a thundercloud. The final match he had to face was a person named Cloud. Yumi gave him a strange look and thought that she'd seen the person or outfit before......
They fought until Cloud striked Sora and the Keyblade fell out of Sora's hand. Sora laid still on the floor while Donald and Goofy were knocked out. It was up to Yumi to finish him off. Cloud jumped in the air getting ready to finish Sora off with his last final attack. Yumi ran in and covered Sora with her body throwing 5 ninja stars at Cloud striking him on 5 areas. He fell on the floor kneeling on the floor because he was tired. Phil was over by the stands cheering for Sora. As cloud stood up, he turned his head as if he had heard something behind him. Cloud jumped leaving his sword behind. A big black paw of a dog stepped on the sword before it could step on Cloud. Sora and Yumi gasped as they all turned back to the lobby.
"Herc!" Phil cried out from the stands.
"Phil, get them out of here!" Hercules said pushing Cerberus from attacking Sora and the others.
Back inside the lobby, everyone was safe.
"Whew, that was close." Phil said in relief. "That was Cerberus, the guardian of the Underworld. Herc should be able to handle them. But then again, maybe not.....This doesn't look good."
Sora and Yumi looked at each other and went into the arena entrance when Phil stopped them. "Kids, you're not entering the arena, are ya?" Phil said in a shaky voice. "This ain't just some match, This is for real!"
"We're not afraid. Right, Yumi?" Sora asked turning to Yumi. She nodded and said, "You can decided if we're hero material or not." They turned away and headed in the arena followed by Donald and Goofy behind them.
"Careful, kids...."Phil said waving.
Back in the arena, Hercules and Cloud tried to wear down the dog until Cloud stumbles and blacks out. Hercules carries Cloud on his back as Cerberus attacks them. Sora and the gang showed up just in time before the Cerberus was about to devour Hercules. It turned around looking at Sora, Yumi, Donald and Goofy getting out their weapons, preparing to fight. Hercules quickly escaped and ran into the lobby entrance.
"Kids, I've got two words of advice for you: ATTACK!!" Phil hollered out.
The three headed dog charged for the gang. Everyone ran in different directions causing the dog to be confused. They continued to attack until the Cerberus collapsed on the floor leaving a giant mess in the arena.
Back in the Coliseum Lobby....
"Thus I do by dub thee junior heroes," Phil said reading it off of a paper. "And confer upon thee full rights and privileges to participate in the games. Further......"
"Hey! What do you mean by 'junior heroes'?" Donald yelled out to Phil.
"You rookies still don't understand what it takes to be a true hero." Phil said.
"So, what does it take?" Goofy asked.
"Well, that's just something you'll have to find out for yourselves," Hercules said walking in standing next to Phil. "Just the way I did."
"No problem. We'll start by proving ourselves to the games." Sora said.
"There ain't gonna be any games for awhile, kid." Phil said. "Gotta clean up the mess from that last battle first."
"Okay. We'll be back." Sora said while heading out the door with Yumi, Donald and Goofy.
Before making one step out into the Coliseum Gates, Yumi stopped walking. "Hey guys? I'm gonna go back in. I need to talk to Phil on when does he think he'll finish cleaning up the arena so we can battle some more. Heh...I'm already addicted to the battling!" Yumi smiled and turned back, opening the lobby doors and went in.
"Okay. We'll meet you out here." Sora said back before the doors closed shut. Goofy looked around. "Hey look!" He said pointing out in the distance. "It's that person, Cloud that we battled earlier. Let's go say hello." Goofy, Donald and Sora went up to him. He was sitting on the stairs minding his own business.
"Hey, are you alright?" Sora said. "I know Yumi's stars can scratch pretty bad on skin...hehe. You can actually pass out on it if you loose too much blood.."
"Yeah." He said softly and looked up.
"So, why did you go along with him, anyway? Well, I'm not really eavesdropping or anything, but I saw you in the back talking to a guy that gave me a games pass. " Sora asked.
"I'm looking for someone. Hades, the person you saw me with promised to help. " He said. "I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness and I couldn't find the light. But I see I've found her. I guess the way she battles; she'll be fine. And since she's with you, keep a lookout for her. And one day when I find the light, I'll rescue her." Cloud said.
"Wait, you know Yumi? H-how?" Sora asked.
"I'm her brother. Don't mention this conversation to her. I fell into this world somehow. Ever since that day I fell in, I searched, but I couldn't find her." Cloud said giving Sora two items. "Don't loose sight of this. And give the other item to Yumi." Cloud said as he walked off. Sora looked at the objects that Cloud has given him. One was an inferno band for his protection and the other object was a picture of Yumi and Cloud on holloween night. Cloud looked the same and Yumi was dressed as Yuffie from Traverse Town.
"How about a rematch sometime? Fair and square, no dark powers involved." Sora said.
Cloud stopped and flipped his hair back with his hand. "I think I'll pass," looking back at Sora.
Yumi broke through the Lobby doors and ran straight. "Sora! Look what I got from Phil!!" Yumi yelled out. As Yumi ran past Cloud, he watched as Yumi went up to Sora. Then he turned to the lobby door and left. "Guess what I got!" she said holding on to something behind her back."
"I don't know, what?!" Sora asked.
"Look!" Yumi said shuffling a Hero License in front of Sora's face.
"What's this?" Sora said taking the paper out of Yumi's hands.
"Now we can enter the REAL games!" She cheered jumping up and down.
"Aww, Cool!" said Sora. "Oh yea! This is for you." He handed the picture that Cloud gave him to Yumi. "W-where did you get this?!" Yumi exclaimed.
"Uh, let's just say it fell from the sky. Come on. Let's go visit another world." Sora said. He looked back and saw Yumi still standing there staring at the picture. "We'll meet you back at the Gummi Ship. I've gotta warm her up a bit." Donald said exiting the gates with Goofy. Sora turned and looked at Yumi.
"I'll find you one day. I promise." She mumbled to herself looking at the person in the picture dressed as Cloud.
"You okay?" Sora said to Yumi.
"Yea. I'm fine." Yumi said shedding bits of tears.
"Don't worry. You'll find him." Sora said cheering Yumi up. "I guarantee it."
Yumi nodded and hugged Sora, "You're the best friend a person could have." She said to Sora.
They both walked back to the Gummi Ship and headed for Agrahbah.
"Anyone up for some chocolate?" Goofy said holding up four chocolate candy bars.
"Ohh!! Mee!" Sora and Yumi exclaimed grabbing a bar of chocolate.
"How about you, Donald?" Goofy asked.
"Not now. I'm driving!" Donald yelled.
"Aww, come on. You can handle a bar of chocolate while you're driving, right?" Goofy said holding a bar of chocolate in front of Donald's face.
"Ack! Don't do that! You'll make me crash into something!" Donald yelled at Goofy.
"Gawsh, I'm sorry." Goofy said removing the chocolate bar from Donald's face.
"I swear, the next time you do that, I'll cut your head off...." Donald warned Goofy.
"But....uh, are you sure you don't want any?" Goofy said blocking Donald's view again.
"Goofy! What did I tell you!?" Donald yelled.
"Oh, sorry." Goofy apologized.
"Yumi, remind me the next time we land, make sure I bring a dagger with me." Donald said.
"Hahahah!!!" Sora, Yumi and Goofy laughed hysterically.
"Goofy......!!" Donald said.
"Sorry." Goofy apologized again.
As they arrived in Agrahbah the place was flooded with Heartless. They gained their way until Sora was curious enough to go into an open doorway and climbed a pole that led them going up. When they reached a room, they saw a carpet moving. It was stuck under a bookshelf. Sora moved it and the carpet flew out of the wide-open window.
"The carpet flew off into the desert," Donald said. "Let's explore Agrabah first."
The gang traveled into the alleyway, until they heard a voice behind the boxes stacked up.
"Who's there? Hello?" the person said. She got out and went up to Sora.
"I'm Jasmine. My father is the sultan of Agrabah." She said.
"Uh... So that makes you a princess." Yumi said. "Oh My GOD!! I've always wanted to meet you!!! Hi! My name's Yumi!!" she said shaking Jasmine's hand wildly.
"But he has been disposed by Jafar, who now controls the city." She said.
"Jafar?" Donald asked.
"You haven't heard of him? He's the royal vizier. He's gained evil powers and seized Agrabah. He's desperately looking for something—something he calls the 'Keyhole'. Jafar caught me trying to escape but he helped me." She said.
"Who helped you?" Sora asked.
"We were hiding nearby but he left a while ago. He said he had to take care of something..." She said. "Oh, I hope Aladdin's all right."
"Aladdin? Where might I find this street rat?" a person said from above. They all looked up to see a person wearing a black an red outfit with a golden serpent staff standing on the ledge behind Jasmine. "Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear princess." He said. "These little rats won't do, you see."
"Jasmine, run!" Sora shouted. Jasmine ran the opposite way leading into the market place. Sora and the gang got out their weapons.
"Ah, the boy who holds the key." Jafar said.
Heartless appeared. They fought until all of them were gone. When they got up on the ledge, Jafar was gone.
They made there way though the streets and ended up in the desert. The carpet that Sora let free came to them. "It looks like it wants us to come along." Yumi said.
"Okay. All aboard!" Sora said getting on the carpet. They came across a person and a monkey stuck in a swirl of sand surrounded by a group of heartless. They fought until all of the heartless were gone.
Sora helped the person out of the sand.
"Oh no! Not again!" Goofy said as more heartless came out of the sand.
The person got out a magic lamp said, "Genie, get rid of these guys!"
A blue genie came out of the lamp. "Wish number one, coming right up." He said snapping his fingers. The Heartless disappeared.
They all got onto the carpet and went back to Agrahbah.
"Yea, so I see. I guess carpet can get a bit clumsy sometimes. Thanks. Uh, what's your name again?" he said.
"Oh. Its Sora." Sora said.
"Thanks Sora. My name's Aladdin." He said.
"Aladdin, what're you doing out here?" Yumi asked curiously.
"Same old stuff. Hunting legendary treasure." Said Aladdin. "Just paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders. I found that magic carpet there. And this lamp." He said holding out a golden lamp Sora saw earlier. Legend has it that whoever holds the lamp can summon the--" Aladdin was interrupted by a genie.
"Please, kid. Leave the intros to a professional. The one and only GENIE OF THE LAMP!! Rub-a-dub-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes granted. Today your winner is......Aladdin. Congratulations!" Said Genie.
"Any wish?" Donald asked.
"Patience my fine, feathered friend! Any three wishes. A one wish, a two wish, a three wish. Then I make like a banana and split. Our lucky winner made his first wish. And let me tell you what a doozy that wish was. And now he had two left. So, master. What'll you have for Wish Number Two?" Genie asked.
"Hmm, how about making me a fabulously wealthy prince?" Aladdin asked Genie.
"Gooh! Money! Royalty! Fame! Why didn't I think of that? 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. Hey, I'll event throw in a cappuccino!" Genie said.
"No, thanks." Aladdin said.
"Oh! Then I'll have it! Nah, just kidding! Haha..!" Yumi yelled out for fun.
"I think I'll put that wish on hold until we reach Agrahbah." Aladdin said.
"Uh, why a prince?" Goofy asked.
"You see, there's this girl in Agrahbah named Jasmine. But she's a princess, and I'm..... Aw, she could never fall for a guy like me." Aladdin explained.
"Oh, princess?" Donald said.
"Jasmine? Sounds very familiar...." Goofy said.
"Oh, that's right! She's in trouble Aladdin!" Sora exclaimed.
"What?" Aladdin gasped. "Well, c'mon. Let's help her!"
They flew back to Agrahbah on Aladdin's carpet and Genie by their side.
"Ah, fresh air! The great outdoors!" Genie said stretching.
"I guess you don't get out much, huh?" Yumi asked.
"Comes with the job. Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty-bitty living space. It's always three wishes, then back to my portable prison. I'm lucky to se the light of day every century or two." Genie said.
"Say, Genie. What if I use my last wish to free you from the lamp? What do you think?" Aladdin asked.
"You'd do that?! Thanks Al!" Genie said.
"Genie, it's a promise. After we help Jasmine." Aladdin said.
They all landed back in Aladdin's house."So Afar is after Jasmine and this 'Keyhole'." Aladdin said.
"Keyhole, he? I could swear I heard about that somewhere before." Genie said.
"Really? Where?" Yummy asked.
"Now, where was it? It's only been 200 years..." Genie said trying to remember.
"Well, anyway, we got to stop Jafar before it's too late!" Soar exclaimed.
They all make their way back to the Castle gates where they saw Jafar and Jasmine.
"Setting your sights a little high, aren't you boy?" Jafar said to Aladdin. "Back to your holes, street rat. I will not allow you to trouble the princess anymore."
"Jasmine!!" Aladdin screamed.
"I'm so sorry, Aladdin." Jasmine said.
Behind Aladdin's back, he rubbed the lamp wishing, "Genie, help Jasmine, please!"
"One wish left!" Said Genie picking up Jasmine in the air. "You're making this really easy, you know.
"So sorry, boy. I'm afraid your second wish has been denied." Jafar said laughing.
Aladdin looked behind his back in his hands. "Huh?!" Aladdin said in shock watching Eyago flying toward Jafar with the lamp in its claws.
"I'm sorry, Al." Genie said disappearing out of thin air and dropped Jamsine in a pot.
"And now, I bid you all farewell. Attack!" Jafar said. The pot that Jamine is in, came out two black legs. It kept walking away. Sora and the gang followed it trying to break Jasmine free. Heartless appeared making the job a bit harder. Yumi and Sora watched each other's backs.
"Heh, now I know why Jafar said attack." Yumi said fighting off a couple of heartless and destroyed the pot Jasmine was in.
"Jasmine!" Aladdin said looking for her.
"To the desert! Come on. Let's move!" Aladdin said hitching a ride for all of them on carpet. They went into the desert when the sand burst and out came a tiger's head.
"This is the Cave of Wonders, one of the legendary treasure spots. Come on!" Aladdin said entering the mouth of the tiger head. They raced through the cave until they came upon the
In Jafar's "secret chamber" with Genie, who he still kept captive and Jasmine lying on the floor.
"My first wish, Genie! Show me the Keyhole!" Jafar commanded.
Genie gave him a dirty look then snapped his fingers. Rock shattered revealing the keyhole. Malefecient dropped by and they had a little chat.
"That boy again?" She asked.
"He's more persistent than I expected. Why no explain to that boy Riku? Because doing so may actually prove useful to our--"
"Wait a second. Are you Maleficent?" Sora interrupted running in. Maleficent dissapeared out of thin air.
"Jafar, let Jasmine go!" Aladdin shouted.
"Not a chance. You see, she's a princess, one of seven who somehow hold the key to opening the door." Jafar explained.
"open..."Goofy said.
"....the door?" Donald finished Goofy's line.
"Huh?!" Yumi said making a funny face.
"But you fools won't live to see what lies beyond it. Genie, my second wish. Crush them!" Jafar commanded.
"Genie, no!" Aladdin shouted.
"Sorry Al. The one with the lamp calls the shots. I don't have a choice." Genie said and stuck the ground with thunder. Sora and Yumi dodged the thunder stikes and ran toward Jasmine.
"Genie! My final wish! I want you to make me an all-powerful genie!" Jafar commanded.
"Pssh....why that wish?" Yumi whispered to Sora. Genie covered his eyes and pointed his index finger to Jafar. Sparks came out of the finger and hit Jafar turning him into a gigantic red genie with a black ponytail. Eyago, the stupid bird flew clutching the lamp.
Yumi dashed off onto the moving platforms, straight for the stupid bird.
"Yumi!" Sora shouted.
"I'll be okay. Just distract Jafar while I catch that bird! Go!" Yumi shouted back. It took a while for Yumi to get it back. She wacked the bird a couple of times with her ninja stars and the bird gave up and fell. Yumi grabbed the lamp and headed toward Jafar.
"Okay, Jafar! Back to your lamp!" Yumi shouted. She lifted the lamp in the air. Jafar was being sucked into it completely. Yumi fell from the force of the lamp when Jafar was being sucked into it.
Carpet gave them a ride and took them up where Jasmine was but there was no site of her.
"Jasmine? Jasmine!" Aladdin cried looking for her.
The keyhole glistened in front of Sora as he sealed the keyhole. Then, it shut itself locked.
The place began to tremble.
"We better get out of here!" Said Yumi getting on the carpet. "Hurry. Get on!"
"Jasmine!" Aladdin shouted as Carpet headed out of the cave.
They all returned back to Aladdin's place and rested for a bit.
"So Jasmine's no longer on Agrabah. Sora, Let's go find her." Aladdin said facing Sora.
"Sorry. I can't take you with me." Sora mumbled in a sad voice.
"Wh-why not?" Aladdin said shockly.
"Yea, why not? He's cool and all.....but he's taken by Jasmine, darn it..." Yumi said crossing her arms and pouting.
"Huh....?" Aladdin said and stared at Yumi.
"OH, uh......sorry...heh....um... I didn't know you ...were listening...heh...oh...it was nothing...heh...." Yumi said blushing. "Uh..just forget what I said....jeez, cool down, Yumi...Uh, I'll meet you outside." Yumi said going down the pole out into the streets.
"EEK!! HEARTLESS!!" Yumi screamed and climbed back up to Aladdin's house and sighed.
"I sure wish we could..." Goofy said out of the blue.
"But we can't! If we take him into another world, we would be...." Donald said.
"Muh...Mudd--" Goofy said trying to pronounce the words right
"Meddling!" Donald yelled.
"Aladdin, we'll find Jasmine, I promise." Sora said.
"You bet we will!" Yumi said with a thumbs up sign.
"Uh, earth to Al. Hello? You still have one wish left. Look, just say the word. Ask me to find Jasmine for you." Genie convinced.
"I....I wish....." Aladdin wished. "...for your freedom, Genie."
"Al!" Genie said surprised. Sparks flew everywhere. Genie was finally free.
"A deal's a deal, Genie. Now you can go anywhere you want. You're your own master." Aladdin said. "But if you can, It'd be great if you could go along with them and help Sora and Yumi find Jasmine."
"Hmm...Sorry, Al. I'm done taking orders from others. But....a favor, now that's entirely different. I guess I'll give that a try. After all, we're pals right, Al?"
"Genie..."Aladdin said.
"Just leave it to me!" Genie said.
"Sora, please find Jasmine for me." Aladdin said.
Everyone went into the ship and left Agrahbah.
