An orange parrot flies through the streets and lands on a wall as Sora, Andi, Donald, and Goofy walk in.
"Agrabah! We made it!" said Donald
"Gawrsh, I wonder how Aladdin 'n' Jasmine are doin'?" asked Goofy
"Hey, maybe Riku's with them!" exclaimed Sora
"Yeah, and the King!" agreed Goofy
The parrot flies into the air in their direction.
"Keep dreaming, you two" said Donald.
"C'mon, Donald, you were thinking the same thing" replied Sora
"No, I wasn't!" said Donald
The parrot flies up to them and around Goofy and Andi.
"Uh-oh, it's uh...um... It's Iago!"
Sora and Donald whirl around and take out their weapons.
"Wait! You got me all wrong" said Iago
"You're Iago all right!"
"No! I mean, it's not the old me. I turned over a new feather. I'm legit! No more scams. Promise!" explained Iago as he flies on Andi's hands.
"Bet that's your new scam. Andi he's not a friend" said Sora glaring at Iago as Andi drops her hands making Iago start flying again.
"Ya gotta believe me!" begged Iago
"Sora, let's go!"
"I was stuck inside that lamp with Jafar. Remember? Well, I finally escaped. But then some things happened and..." explained Iago as he lands on the ground with his head down.
"So. Free as a bird, huh?" asked Sora not much believing him.
"Have fun!
"Gawrsh, fellas. He looks pretty sad" said Goofy feeling bad.
Iago quickly flies over to Goofy "I wanna apologize to Aladdin and Jasmine" as Goofy catches Iago in his hands.
"Could you guys maybe put in a good word for me?" asked Iago
"Sure, we can do that, can't we?" said Goofy looking at Sora and Donald who don't look very happy.
"What did you do?" asked Andi
"He was with Jafar trying to be Sultan and get rid of us, Jasmine and Aladdin" explained Sora.
Andi looked at Iago "Good luck" muttered Andi as she put her back against him. Some Luna Bandit Heartless sneak up behind them.
"Watch out!"exclaimed Iago.
Sora, Andi, Donald and Goofy summon their weapons to fight. As they defeat the Luna Bandit Heartless more would appear.
"Where are they all coming from?" growled Sora
Two run after Iago, who flies into the air, knocking the Heartless into each other. Iago flies into an urn and knocks it over. He flies past some crates, which crash on top of the Heartless.
"This way!" said Sora as the run past the knocked out heartless and flee into the side street, Iago following, and end up inside the Peddler's Shop.
"Aw, we'd've been goners if Iago hadn't helped us. Ain't that right, fellas?" said Goofy
"I guess we owe you one" said Sora,
"By stuck of luck" muttered Andi looking at Sora, Donald and Goofy.
"We will help you Iago" said Sora ignoring Andi. Andi rolls her eyes annoyed.
"Perfect!"
"But you'll have to win over Aladdin and Jasmine yourself. Be on your best behavior, got it?" explained Sora
"Yeah, I got it"
"Where IS Aladdin, anyway?" asked Goofy
"I betcha he's at the palace" replied Iago
"Then let's go!" said Sora as he, Andi, Donald, Goofy and Iago proceed to the Palace Gates and find Princess Jasmine.
"Jasmine!"
"Sora! Donald! Goofy!" exclaimed Jasmine with a smile.
"Your Majesty" replied Donald bowing to Jasmine. Sora and Goofy also bow. Jasmine giggles and sees Andi staring at her.
"Who are you?" asked Jasmine.
Andi looks down and bows as well. Sora glances at Andi. "This is Andi, she's another keybearer" explained Sora
"Nice to meet you" said Jasmine, Andi nod back. As Jasmine looked at the boys, "I never had the chance to thank you for before. You helped Aladdin defeat that awful Jafar and saved Agrabah" explained Jasmine
"All in a day's work. But uh... it looks like the Heartless are up to no good again." replied Sora putting his hands behind his head.
Iago peeks out from behind Goofy, waves, and Andi comes beside Goofy and smacks Iago back to hiding glaring at him.
"Is there any way we can help you out?" asked Sora
"I think we're all right for now" replied Jasmine
"And ya always got Aladdin" continued Goofy
"He...hasn't been himself lately" said Jasmine sadly
"Is it because of the Heartless?" asked Donald
"I'm not sure. Usually, he's the same cheerful Aladdin. But sometimes...he just seems sad. He leaves the palace and goes off by himself all the time. I've asked him about it, but he says nothing's wrong. He's gone again today. What if he doesn't come back this time?"
"Hey, maybe he's got a secret girlfriend. I know! I'll go find out who she is!" blurted Iago as he makes his appearance.
"Iago! Quick, Sora, catch him!" exclaimed Jasmine trying to get a hold of the bird. But he flies away away an around Sora and hides behind him. Andi grabs Iago making him unable to fly.
"I'll warn the guards and everyone in the palace!" said Jasmine running back to the group.
"That's the thing, Iago's not..."
.Jasmine has already run off to the gates of the palace. Sora sighs shaking his head.
"Nice move" muttered Sora
"Stupid bird" hissed Andi
"What did I do?" asked Iago
"If you want to make peace with people you don't go blurting stuff like that" replied Andi with a disapproved look.
Sora glances at her with a ironic smirk. Andi catches it and looks at Sora "Something funny?" she asked
"Nope" replied Sora.
"Funny, I seen a smirk on your face" said Andi
"Maybe it's something you said" interrupted Goofy
Iago sighs putting his head down.
"Gee, maybe we should go talk to Aladdin. He's gotta be somewhere in town, right?" suggested Goofy.
"Good idea. I wonder what he's been doing" said Sora as he, Donald and Goofy run off into town.
"Hey! I'm not done with this conversation!" yells Andi still holding Iago.
Being ignored she growls and looks at Iago, "Maybe we should follow them?" suggested Iago laughing nervously.
Andi lets go of Iago and they both follow after them.
"Stop, thief!"
A monkey carrying a black oil lamp runs past Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Aladdin runs in afterward ,"Hi, Sora!"
The Peddler races after them, "Come back here!"
Iago flies after them, as Sora, Andi, Donald, and Goofy try to catch up. Aladdin and Abu reach a wall. Abu clutches the lamp tightly.
"If you can't control that fur ball...put a leash on him!" hissed the Peddler
"Look, I'm sorry... You should be ashamed of yourself, Abu!" said Aladdin sternly looking at Abu as he gives Aladdin the lamp.
"No hard feelings?" asked Aladdin nervously.
The Peddler snatches it out of Aladdin's hand with a huff and walks away.
"Abu!"
Abu covers his head with his arms, until seeing Sora, to whom he runs. 'Hey guys, sorry about earlier. I was kinda in a hurry" explained Aladdin.
"What happened?" asked Sora
"You know Abu. He couldn't keep his paws off that lamp" said Aladdin as Abu tries to make an excuse.
"No talking your way out of this one!" replied Aladdin waving his finger at him.
They all laugh.
"I guess you can't be THAT down in the dumps, huh?" said Sora with a smile.
"Who said I was?" asked Aladdin
"Princess Jasmine. She's worried 'cause you're always in town" replied Goofy
"Got a new girlfriend?" asked Donald
"No way! Still... I guess there's no foolin' Jasmine, huh? See, Genie and Carpet took off to see the world. It's what Genie always wanted, so I wished him the best and all, but..."
"You miss him" finished Goofy
"Man, things must be REALLY quiet with Genie gone" said Sora
"Yeah. That's why I come here. The action-the people. There's always something goin' on. I mean, c'mon! I met you guys here today, right? This place is full of surprises." explained Aladdin.
"So why don't you just tell her?" asked Andi with her arms crossed looking at Aladdin.
"Huh?"
"I'm sure she would understand if she knew you were missing a friend" continued Andi
"It's complicated...Anyways who are you?" asked Aladdin scratching the back of his head.
Andi rolls her eyes over Aladdin's complicated statement, "I'm Andi. I'm helping them" she replies nodding her head towards Sora, Donald and Goofy. Aladdin nodded back.
"Anyways why is something like that complicated to explain?" asks Andi
"Andi!" hissed Sora giving her a warning
Andi looks at Sora, "What?!"
"You don't even know what's been going on! If he says it complicated leave it at that" said Sora
"Oh because you know everything about girls right? Please Sora tell me how-"
"Uh, Sora?" inturrupted Goofy as he looks behind Sora. Everyone looks as sees Iago on the ground, shivering in fear.
"Iago!?" said Aladdin in disbelief.
"Oh right...He wants to apologize for all the trouble he caused" explained Sora
"Oh, he does?" said Aladdin not much believing the statement.
"Gawrsh, he's so sorry, he's shakin'!" said Goofy
"Th-th-that lamp!" Shuttered Iago pointing towards where the Peddler left.
"What about it?" Asked Aladdin
"It was THE lamp!" Exclaimed Iago
"C'mon. There're a million like it" replied Aladdin.
"Hey! I was locked up in that thing FOR MONTHS! There's no way I'd mistake it!"
Abu grabs his hat and squawks.
"Then we'd better go back and talk to that peddler" said Aladdin
"Right behind you" said Sora.
They return to the Peddler's Shop.
"Is there any way we can buy that lamp from you?" asked Sora
"Of course. That is...IF you can afford it" said the Peddler eyeing them closely.
Sora looks to the entrance and Aladdin gives him a signal.
"No worries!" Replied Sora
"Sora! You don't even know what he's asking for" said Andi grabbing his arm and looking at him.
"Don't worry about it" replied Sora with a smile.
"Yeah, we can pay you in royal treasu-" Donald stopped himself but it was too late.
"Donald!" Yell Sora, Andi and Goofy
"Might I be able to interest you in another fine lamp?" Asked the Peddler with his eyes widened on what he heard.
"No, that's the one we need." Replied Sora
"Ah, well-perhaps I can be persuaded...IF you bring me a treasure beyond even my imagination. Something, say, fit for a sultan..." said the Peddler with a sly smile.
"Treasure fit for a sultan for a lamp! You are no worse than a thief!" Growled Andi
"I am no thief! It's called business"
"You-" Sora put his hand over Andi's mouth as she muffled what she wanted to say in his hand. She glares at Sora. But Sora doesn't let go of her and laughs nervously, "we'll work on that" and he dragged Andi out of the Peddler's shop with Donald and Goofy behind.
"Treasure? That could be tricky..." said Aladdin with his hand in his chin.
"There's lots at the palace" said Donald
"But it's not mine to take. And I can't ask. I don't want to worry Jasmine or the Sultan" explained Aladdin
" Hey, I know... What about the treasure in the Cave of Wonders?" Asked Iago flying in.
"All right, Iago. You lead the way! And after we get the treasure, I might even believe your apology" replied Aladdin
"You can count on me!"
"Hey Sora...are you going to let go of..." said Aladdin pointing at Andi who still has her mouth covered glaring at Sora with her arms crossed. Sora quickly lets go "Sorry"
"Do that again and I'll bite the next time" snapped Andi walks away as Iago flies to show them the way.
Aladdin chuckles to himself, "What?" asks Sora tilting his head to the side.
"She's a lot like when I first met Jasmine. I think they would get along really well" replied Aladdin.
"I guess..." said Sora
"Come on" said Aladdin as he, Sora, Goofy and Donald catch up to Andi and Iago. They proceed to the Cave of Wonders. Pete enters the tiger's head before they arrive.
"This is it!" Exclaimed Iago
They enter the cave, passing through the Valley of Stone. They arrive at an area with waterfalls on each side. A jewel floats in midair in the center of the hall. Abu jumps off Aladdin's shoulder.
"Be careful usually stuff like this has a-"
Abu grabs the jewel. The waterfalls vanish and several stone guardians appear from the walls, their eyes glowing.
"Trap" growled Andi finishing Iago's sentence.
Ice crystals appear in the air above Abu and he runs around dodging them. The floor moves like waves from the statue to the group. "Sora the jewel!" exclaimed Donald. Sora sees Abu still holding on to the red jewel that was floating on the statue. "Got it!" replied Sora as he guides Abu over the moving floor to set the stone in the pedestal and soothe the wrath of the Stone Guardians. The pedestal at the end of the hall vanishes into dust and an entrance is opened.
"Abu!" said Aladdin sternly. Abu screeches climbing on Aladdin's shoulders.
"Don't touch anything" continued Aladdin at Abu as the group continues through the cave of wonders. They enter the Chasm of Challengers and see a stone plaque.
"Complete your task within the time allotted." Read Andi out loud.
"What does that mean?" continued Andi looking at the group. But before they could put anymore thought to it they fall through the first floor onto another floor. As everyone lands onto the floating floor Heartless appear.
"Does this answer your question" said Donald
"It's making sense now" said Andi as she swung her keyblade like a boomerang hitting a couple of heartless and retrieving it back into her hand. As they beat the Heartless the floor disappears underneath them and they land on another floor with more Heartless. Defeating the Heartless they fall to another floor and repeat the same thing until they get to the last floor with a set of stairs appears with a temple and another plaque. More Heartless appear as they finish them off. Everyone gets ready for what is about to happen next when nothing seemed to appear or disappear they look around. Andi runs up the stairs
"Andi! Wait!" yells Aladdin
Andi continues to the stairs and looks at the plaque, "Victor of the trial... You possess great strength!" read Andi out loud. As the group heads up the ground shakes and the doors to the Treasure Room open.
"Hey got the door open!" said Andi with a smirk looking at them.
As they walk into the room they are greeted with mountains of treasure. They see a jeweled trophy.
"There. That one should do it!" Exclaimed Aladdin pointing at the golden trophy with jewels on it. Andi looks at it and it reminded her of the Struggle Tournament trophy. As they go closer to the trophy, Pete walks in and sees them. He runs over to the edge of the door leading to the room and hides, peeking out at them.
"Oh boy. It's perfect. That guy's gonna like this." Agreed Donald looking at the jeweled trophy.
"Sure looks valuable" said Sora
"Great! Now let's go get that lamp" replied Aladdin.
Pete's ear perks up at the mention of the lamp and he snickers.
"We gotta keep Jafar bottled up, or he's gonna destroy Agrabah!"
Abu and Iago try to hoist up a jeweled statue; "stop!" Yells Donald stamping his foot and they drop it. The jewel then entices Donald.
"Hey, snap out of it, Donald!" Said Aladdin
Donald shakes his head vigorously. Pete leaves with a smile on his face and a plan in his head. He snaps his fingers and Heartless appear in the Treasure Room, which has grown darker as everyone retrieves their weapons for battle.
"Why does this always happen?" Asks Donald
They fight the Heartless and the room lights back up like it did before.
"Let's go!" Said Sora as they run out of the Cave of Wonders and return to the Peddler's Shop.
"Hello!?" Said Aladdin as the group looks around and doesn't see the Peddler anywhere. They hear two voices from outside turning towards the cloth door.
"Stop your whining and hand it over!" Said Pete
"Ohh no! I'm trading it for treasure. This lamp is going to bring me riches!" Whined the Peddler.
They leave the shop and see Pete chasing the Peddler.
"Oh no, you don't! Get back here, you!"
As they began to chase them Heartless appear in front of them. Andi swings her keyblade at them opening an entrance to follow Pete and the Peddler. "You guys go ahead. I can handle a few heartless" said Andi to Sora and the others as she retrieves her keyblade back. Sora nods and he and the others run off following Pete and the Peddler. As the Heartless try to follow Andi jumps in front of them and readies her keyblade...
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Aladdin, Abu and Iago chase them to the Palace Gates. Pete catches up to the Peddler, "Thank you"
He grabs the lamp from the Peddler's hands and runs ahead. The Peddler catches back up to Pete, "It's mine!"
The Peddler grabs it back and keeps running. Pete realizes it's gone and runs faster. They chase each other around the courtyard.
"Lamp hog!" Yells Pete
"Go away!"
"Gotcha!"
Pete grabs the Peddler and takes the lamp, holding the Peddler down with one hand. The Peddler tries to jump, but can't, "No fair!" Whined the Peddler
"Heh heh, I win!" Laughed Pete
Iago flies in and snatches the lamp away. Pete's ears perk up and he realizes his hand's lighter. He looks up and sees no lamp. The Peddler has caught on and tries to jump at Iago to get the lamp, but he's too short.
"Nice one, Iago!" Smiles Sora
"Way to go!"
"Don't drop it!" Said Donald
"Look! Behind you!" Warned Goofy
Pete and the Peddler both chase Iago, who turns swiftly. They both crash into a wall. The Peddler falls to the ground. Pete rubs his head and turns to see Iago. Iago looks back and also crashes into a wall, dropping the lamp. Iago tries to get up, but can't. Pete picks up the lamp and laughs.
"Nice try, bird brain. Just wait till Jafar's free! He's gonna make one beauty of a Heartless!" Said Pete
Sora, Donald and Goofy start going after Pete when the ground shakes they stop in their tracks looking around they see a large blue something flies around in the sky.
"I'm HOME!" Yells Genie among with bells and whistles as he flies past Pete.
"Al! It's been eons!" said Genie flying back and hugs Pete.
"Al, you princely little muffin, you!" Genie teleports back into the air.
"Cosmic travel can get so lonely without a friend" He places an arm on Pete's shoulder, then teleports placing his other arm on Pete's other shoulder.
"To think I left you forlorn and Genie-less... Oh, the HUMANITY!" Says Genie shaking Pete, then comedically rubs his eyes with tears. He's still completely oblivious to Aladdin, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Iago, or the Peddler.
"Genie?"
"Hey, Al, you've been puttin' on weight?"
Genie grows several feet wider, then teleports in front of Pete's face. Pete is completely disheveled, "Aw, of course, what am I saying? You're living at the palace now" as Genie spins around and a second Genie appears.
"Aladdin!" Says Genie in Jasmine's voice
"Jasmine!" Says Genie in Aladdin's voice
The two Genies hug and fireworks shoot out from behind them. One makes a heart shape in the sky. Genie appears again next to Pete.
"I can just picture it..." he says slapping a hand on Pete's back, slightly hard. Genie next to Pete, but a smaller version of him.
"Wait, tell me. Am I being a pest? Just a big blue pest? Aw, who cares, Al! I'm just so glad to SEE you!" says Genie as he poofs big again and shakes both of Pete's hands. Pete has almost lost his balance. Aladdin walks up.
"Genie!" Exclaimes Aladdin
Genie looks from Aladdin to Pete and lets go, "Oops!" as Pete falls backwards snapping Pete back into reality, "I'll teach you to make a fool out of me!" He snapped angrily.
Genie picks Aladdin up, laughs, and hugs him.
"Time for Plan B! I'm finishin' you mugs off right now!" Said Pete as he slams his fist on the ground. A large geyser appears and destroys a wooden cart. The Blizzard Lord Heartless appears. Bushes lining the courtyard burst into flame as the Volcanic Lord Heartless rises up. Sora runs at the Blizzard Heartless Lord hearing more footsteps beside him he sees Andi.
"Finally decided to join the party?" asked Sora with a smirk
"What are you taking about? The party doesn't start until I show up" said Andi as her and Sora attack the Blizzard Lord Heartless with their keyblades.
The Volcanic Lord Heartless comes behind Andi. She turns and dodges the fire that it tried to attack her with. Andi's keyblade summons water and hits the Volcanic Lord Heartless. As Sora continues to fight the Blizzard Lord Heartless with Donald, Goofy and Aladdin try to assist them. Both Lord Heartless split into smaller heartless. Finishing them off Andi points her keyblade at Pete shooting water at him.
He gets drenched as he spits little bit of water be glares at the group; "You! You've messed with me for the last time! I'm gonna get you yet!" warned Pet as he runs and leaves
Genie hugs Aladdin; "Yeah! All right!" Said Genie giving Aladdin a thumbs up, which he returns. Carpet flies in with Abu on him. Iago follows with the lamp.
"So what do we do with the lamp?" asked Sora
"I got a place that will keep it safe" replied Aladdin with a smile.
XXXXXXXXXX
In the dungeon, they place the lamp in a stone coffin and close it. Then they meet up with Jasmine in front of the palace.
"I promise-you won't regret givin' me another chance. Honest!" Says Iago to Jasmine and Aladdin.
"Uhhhh... Princess Jasmine, you sure that you want that pigeon in the coop?" Asks Genie
"Oh, I think Iago's shown that he means well" replied Jasmine.
"Aw, sure. You're probably right"
"And how much trouble can one noisy bird cause?" Asked Sora
"You might just have a point there, kid" smiles Genie
Genie looks and sees Andi kinda hiding behind Sora looking up at him. "You!"
Andi points at herself as Genie disappears and reappears beside Andi. Andi jumps a little nervously.
"You carry a keyblade too!" exclaimed Genie
"Yeah" replied Andi
"Haven't got to offically get to meet I'm Genie" shaking Andi's hand.
"I'm Andi" with a smile.
"What happens next, Sora?" Asked Jasmine.
"Well, it was great seeing you all...but we still need to find Riku and the King. I guess we'll be moving on" replied Sora
"I hope you find 'em" said Genie
"Me, too" said Sora
"Hey, where's Aladdin?" Asked Donald
"He ran off toward town, looking for Abu. But he should be back by now" explained Jasmine.
"Al can't miss Sora's big farewell party! I'll have him back in a jiffy!" Said Genie as he spins around and disappears in a tornado of magic. Few Minutes pass...
"Abu!" Yells Aladdin chasing Abu holding a large red jewel.
"Catch him!" Said Aladdin
Abu stops suddenly, when Sora, Donald, and Goofy all jump for him. Andi closes her eyes as they crash on top of the little monkey, who loses the jewel. When she opens them up she sees the pile and chuckles quietly. She see Jasmine glance at her as she was also laughing quietly.
"He must've secretly stolen it from the Cave of Wonders." Said Aladdin
"Abu!" Said Donald as he snatches the jewel away and looks at it.
"Wow!" As Donald stares transfixed.
"I guess some things are just hard to resist" suggested Goofy.
Donald shakes it off; "Aw, who needs it!" He makes that he's about to throw it, and everyone looks, while he puts it behind his back. Abu sees it and squawks, alerting everyone else.
"Oh... I guess it got stuck!" Exclaimed Donald
The jewel glows.
"What!?"
"Whoa!" Says everyone
Sora opens another gate.
"Sora... What is it?" Asked Aladdin
"I think it's time for us to go" replied Sora
"Will you be back?" Asks Jasmine
"We will, I promise!" Replied Sora with a smile.
Aladdin gives them a thumbs up. They look toward the sky.

In a dark city, neon lights brighten an alleyway where Pluto is wandering through. Pluto sees a red-haired man in a black cloak and follows him around the corner. Pluto runs up to Axel as he disappears with the portal. Pluto stops and sits at the wall staring at it until Pluto hears a whistle and another portal appears behind him, which he runs inside barking.

Kairi waits on the beach of the Destiny Islands, looking at the small island she used to play on.
"Maybe...waiting isn't good enough" she said to herself.
"My thoughts exactly! If you have a dream, don't wait. Act. One of life's little rules. Got it memorized?" Said Axel appearing near the water
"Who are you?" She asks
"Axel. I happen to be an acquaintance of Sora's. Why don't we go see him?" Asked Axel holding out his hand.
"...Sora?"
Pluto barks, snapping Kairi back to reality. The dog bounds over and barks, spinning in circles and wagging his tail. Dusks surround them and Pluto snarls. They hear a whistle and a portal opens. Pluto leaps towards it, stops, and turns around, barking at Kairi.
"We've got something in common, Kairi. You and I both miss someone we care about. Hey, I feel like we're friends already"
The Dusks are closing in on her. She decides to run into the portal, she turns around at him "You're not acting very friendly!" She snaps as she continues to run through the portal.
Kairi and Pluto arrive in a strange abyss with Nobody symbols in every direction moving along the walls and floor.
"Hey, what is this place?" Asked Karoo looking at Pluto
They hear another whistle and see a bright light at the end of the abyss. Pluto runs inside it. Kairi enters and looks back, seeing a cloaked figure. "Huh?" she said little frightened but the portal of light closes before she can find out more. She wakes up laying on the floor.
"You okay?"
She groans and sits up; "What...?" She asks looking around and sees Hayner, Pence, Olette, Falcon and Pluto in the Usual Spot.
"You and that dog came flying out of a hole in the wall. You nearly gave us heart attacks!" Exclaimed Pence using his hands to explain.
