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.

Chapter 19: The great escape!

The Lava began to rise; Alex didn't have much time left! The Carpet flew over to Alex and Alex jumped on as it passed. The two made a U-turn and headed back to pick up Jack, Stitch and Ariel. But close behind them was a massive wave of lava, ready to drown them in its scolding hot liquid. "GUYS! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!" Alex called as he approached them. Ariel, Stitch and Jack quickly jumped aboard as they passed. The Carpet zoomed thru the dark cave, with the lava close behind it. Alex tried to see where he was going but with no luck. His vision did clear up however when he saw a wall getting closer and closer. "We're gonna die…" Alex murmured. The Carpet made a sudden drop causing everyone to scream. The carpet than dove forward thru another cave, and they were back at the Treasure room. The Lava crashed thru the Cave melting anything in its path, including the treasure. "THE TREASURE!" Jack cried. "DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS CARPET AROUND!" Alex yelled. Spouts of fire shot out of the lava. Alex grabbed onto the edges of the Carpet in an attempt to steer away from the fire. The Carpet zoomed into the final room, the stair room. And the entrance was visible! But outside The Tiger head moaned and groaned. It was slowly sinking into the sand. Alex looked up and saw the entrance. "WE'RE HOME FREE!" Alex shouted happily.

But their luck soon ran out as a boulder smashed down on the back of the Carpet, pulling it from underneath them. "NOT GOOD!" Alex cried as they all fell. Everyone screamed as they hurdled to their doom. Alex looked down and saw the Lava growing closer. He screamed so much that he blacked out.

Alex drowsily woke up the last thing he remembered was falling toward the lava. He instantly shot up, only to se that they were in some dark chamber. He saw the others just getting up. "Ariel? Are you okay?" Alex asked. Ariel groaned. "I'm fine…" She said rubbing her back. Stitch however was jumping up and down like an excited four year old. "Uh? Stitch?" Alex asked. "Let's go again! Let's go again!" Stitch chanted excitedly. Jack rubbed his head. "Jack? How about you?" Alex asked. "That's it, next time I drive…" Jack moaned.

Everyone looked around the dark chamber. "How come we're not dead?" Alex asked. Alex knocked his fist against the floor. "The lava…It's as hard as a rock." Alex commented. "ALEX! LOOK!" Ariel shouted pointing at something. Alex turned and saw the Disney Blade stuck in the ground. "Is it possible that the Disney Blade did this?" Jack asked. "Could be…" Alex said as he pulled it out of the ground. "How we get out of here?" Stitch asked. Alex suddenly remembered the lamp. "I just hope the legend is true…" Alex took a deep breath and rubbed the lamp. The lamp began to glow and emit strange noises before fireworks shout out of its spout. Suddenly a blue smoke covered the entire room. And suddenly a loud "OYE!" Was heard. When the smoke cleared the team saw a huge blue figure was seen, it was the Genie! "Ten thousand years, will give ya such a crick in the neck!" The Genie grabbed its head and did a 360 degree spin with it before plopping it back in place.

Alex looked at the Genie in both wonder, and confusion. "I must've hit my head harder than I thought…" Alex said to himself. The Genie suddenly had a microphone in its hand. "Hey, it's nice to be back ladies and gentleman!" The Genie said pretending to be a game show host. He then held the microphone to Alex. "Hey! Hi! How ya doin, what's your name?" The Genie said really fast. "Uh…Alex?" Alex nervously responded. Suddenly Alex's name appeared on a diamond vision board. "ALEX! It's great to have ya on the show; can we call you "Al" or maybe "Ex"?" The Genie asked. "Wait, who are you?" Alex asked. "Who am I? WHO am I? I am the one! The Only! Genie of the Lamp!" The Genie shouted. "That's right ladies and gentleman, for just three wishes, all your desires can come true!" Ariel's eyes widened. "Wishes? You can grant any wish?" She asked. "Well not quite…" The Genie said. "There is a restriction or too..." "Like?" Jack asked. "Rule Numero uno: I can't kill anyone…" A butcher knife appeared in the Genie's hand while, creepy music played in the background. "Sorry, but this movie is rated PG you know!" Jack grinned. "Oh goody, more action for me!"

"What else is there?" Alex asked. "Rule number two: I can't make anybody fall in love, sorry you lonely pathetic people..." The Genie morphed into a baby with wings. "But I ain't Cupid!" Ariel held Alex's hand. "We don't need you for that, anything else?" Ariel asked. "Rule number three: I can't bring people back from the dead, I don't do horror movies!" The Genie finished. "So, what will it be?" Alex thought for a moment before coming up with a plan. "So, you can take the form of anything? How about a rocket!" Genie responded by morphing into a big blue rocket and began counting down from five…four…three…two…one... The genie rocket began to rumble and launched into the air, smashing a huge hole in the cavern, revealing the desert! "We're free!" Stitch shouted. The Carpet flew over to Alex. "Climb aboard!" Alex said. The team got on and flew out of the cavern where Genie was waiting. "Come on Genie! Back to Agrabah!" Alex shouted as the Carpet flew into the distance.
