Alex ran thru the streets with two guards after him. But he was being watched. The person who was watching him suddenly jumped off a roof top and landed on the guards, knocking them out. Alex turned around to see someone who was wearing an outfit similar to his own. "Guards giving you a hard time?" The person asked. "Y-yeah…" Alex replied. "I was helping out a pirate…." "I'm Aladdin" The person said. "And I'm Alex" Alex said shaking his hand. "I'm here with my friends to overthrow someone named Jafar." Aladdin clenched his fist when he heard that name, he obviously recognized it. "If you're going to take down Jafar, I'm with you to the end!"
Chapter 18: The Cave of Wonders
Alex and Aladdin jumped from rooftop to rooftop, looking for Ariel, Jack and Stitch. "So, we're looking for a girl, a pirate and a blue dog?" Aladdin asked. "Yeah, I know it sounds odd..." Alex sighed. Alex looked down and saw a mob of guards running after Jack and Stitch. "Aladdin! There they are!" Alex called. Aladdin and Alex grabbed nearby barrels and hurled them down on the guards. Direct hit. Jack and Stitch looked up to see Aladdin and Alex. "Thanks Mate!" Jack called. Suddenly Ariel came running out of another alley with more guards after her. Alex and Aladdin jumped off the rooftop and took off after them. Alex suddenly noticed a fully loaded wooden wheelbarrow he grabbed it and rolled it right at the guards, bowling them over. Ariel jumped out of the way as the wheelbarrow rolled thru the streets. Jack and Stitch walked up them noticing the dazed guards. "Heh, this reminds me of the time I went to Singapore…" Jack said as he reminisced. Stitch gave him a weird look as he climbed back up Alex's back and hung off his shoulder. "Guys, this is Aladdin, he's agreed to help us take down Jafar!" Alex said introducing Aladdin to the others. "Before we take on Jafar, we have to find the golden Scarab Beetle that will lead us to the legendary Cave of Wonders"
Jack reached into his pocket. "You mean this?" Jack said as he pulled out the two golden pieces. "Yes! That's it!" Aladdin said excitedly. "Aladdin, what's in this "Cave of Wonders" Anyhow?" Alex asked. "In the Cave of Wonders, it is said that a magic lamp is there, inside it, is a powerful Genie! If we want any hope at defeating Jafar, we have to get it!" Aladdin explained. "Than let's go!" Ariel said. As the team was about to set off, they saw more guards coming at them. "More of these guys?" Alex asked as he took out the Disney Blade. Aladdin stepped in front of him. "You guys go! I'll take care of them!" Aladdin said. "Just put the two pieces together and it will lead you to the Cave of Wonders!" Alex nodded. "Okay, guys let's move out!" Alex said as he ran off. Ariel and Jack followed leaving Aladdin to fight the guards. They arrived at Agrabah's main gate, beyond it, the endless desert. "Okay, Aladdin said to put the two pieces together… Jack?" Alex asked. "With pleasure…" Jack responded as he took out the two golden pieces. He placed the two together and in an instant the Golden beetle flew circles around Alex before taking off into the desert. "AFTER IT!" Alex called as he ran after it with his friends close behind.
Our hero's chased the beetle into the night, and were exhausted. "I can't run anymore…." Jack said collapsing on the ground. "Me too…." Alex panted. "Guys look!" Ariel pointed to the golden beetle. It split apart, each piece landing on a sand dune. And with a rumble, the sand dune began to take a shape. The two golden pieces served as eyes as the sand dune took the shape of a tiger head. "Well, that's something you don't see everyday…" Jack commented. The Tiger head spoke. "Who disturbs my slumber?" Jack sparrow got up and walked into the Tigers gaze. "Captain Jack Sparrow, a humble pirate." Jack responded. The Tiger head glared. "Know this, only one may enter here, one whose worth lies far within, the diamond in the ruff!" Jack was confused. "Diamond, in the ruff?" Jack asked to no one in particular. "I think it means….me" Alex said. Alex bravely stepped forward into the Tigers gaze. "It is I, Alex, The Disney Warrior" Alex held out the Disney Blade proudly. "But I'm not going in without Jack, Ariel and Stitch!" The Tiger glared once more. "Proceed, touch nothing but the lamp!"
The Tigers mouth opened to reveal a set of stairs. "Well, here we go…." Alex said. Stitch gulped as Alex and his friends walked into the mouth of the Tiger. Jack tripped down the massive line of stairs and tumbled down. He crashed into Ariel Stitch and Alex sending them all down the stairs and landing at the bottom in a pile. "Owww….." Alex groaned. He crawled his way out of the pile and into another chamber of the cave. Alex's eyes widened as he got up. The whole room was filled with treasure. Jack almost cried in happiness. "I must've been a bad pirate, because I died and gone to Heaven!" Jack jumped at one of the piles. "JACK NO!" Ariel and Alex cried as they jumped at him, tackling him to the ground before he could touch the treasure. "Relax mates, everything is an equal share!" Jack said trying to wiggle his way out of their grasp. "Maybe you didn't hear the Tiger head, so let me refresh your memory…" Alex said. "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!" Ariel, Stitch and Alex screamed in unison. Jack groaned as he followed Alex thru the treasure room. Jack trudged his way over a carpet on the ground as he whimpered about not being able to touch any treasure. Unknown to everyone, the carpet began to move. It rose into the air and stared at them and followed behind them.
Jack thought he heard something and turned around. The Carpet instantly dropped to the floor. Jack just shook it off and continued to follow. Ariel was amazed by the sight of all the treasure. "It's so beautiful!" Ariel sighed. "A handful of this would make me richer than daddy!" The carpet continued to follow them. Jack turned around again, this time the Carpet rose into the air above Jacks field of vision. "Okay, I have the feeling that something is following us…" Jack said. "It's probably the rum kicking in…" Alex joked.
The carpet continued to follow them again. The next time Jack turned around he saw the Carpet. "ALEX LOOK!" Jack called. Alex turned around with the Disney Blade in hand and saw the carpet. The Carpet suddenly backed away when it saw Alex's sword. "It's a…Magic Carpet…" Alex said in wonder. "Awww, it's so cute…" Ariel said.
"C'mon" Alex said. "We're not gonna hurt ya…" The Carpet slowly crept forward. "Alex…" Stitch said. "Carpet can help!" Alex nodded. "Hey…" Alex said to the Carpet. "Would you know where a lamp would be?" The Carpet Nodded and flew off into the depths of the cave. "Guys, Let's go!" Alex said as he ran after the Carpet. The Carpet lead them to a dark blue chamber, and high up on a pedestal in the center of the room, was the lamp, shining under light. "Wait here…" Alex told Ariel and Jack. Alex waded his way thru the water surrounding the massive Pedestal and began to climb up. Jack looked to the right and saw a massive red ruby. He lunged for it but Ariel grabbed his jacket and pulled him back. "Jack, control yourself!" Ariel shouted. Stitch heard the commotion and turned around, only to see the red ruby. To him it looked like a pineapple, and he hadn't eaten. Stitch jumped off Alex's shoulder and made his way back to Ariel.
Alex had reached the top and cautiously picked up the lamp. "This is it!" Alex said in excitement, He shoved the lamp inside his vest and began to make his way back down but something happened. The place began to rumble. And the Tigers voice was heard. "INFIDILES! You have touched, the forbidden treasure!" Alex glared at Jacks direction. "JACK SPARROW!" Alex shouted angrily. "It wasn't me!" Jack pleaded. "It was the monster!" Indeed, Stitch was caught holding the ruby. "Stitch thought it was food!" Stitch cried. Alex just smacked his hand on his face in exasperation. The Tigers voice was heard again. "And now you will never again, see the light of DAY!" The water surrounding the Pedestal turned to boiling lava. Alex was trapped! "Why me…?" Alex sighed.
