"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.
Chapter 20: A Not-So-Warm Welcome.
Genie followed the Magic Carpet thru the desert, heading back to Agrabah. "All righty then!" Genie said. "You're down to two wishes left!" Alex chuckled. "Not exactly…I still got three wishes left!" Alex said confidently. "No, you used wish number one to escape" Genie said. Alex chuckled again. "I asked you to change into a rocket, I never said anything about blowing a hole in the cavern, you did that on your own!" Genie did a massive jaw drop. Alex had pulled a fast one on him. "Not bad mate…" Jack said "You made a monkey outta me!" Genie said as he transformed into a monkey who jumped on Jacks head. Jack growled as Genie morphed back, Genie than faced Alex. "Alright wise guy!" Genie said. "You tricked me this time, but I'm keeping an eye on you this time!" An eyeball appeared in Genies hand and he slapped on Alex's cheek. "Very funny…" Alex said as he pried the eye ball off his face. "Genie? How long until we reach Agrabah?" Ariel asked. Genie pulled out a giant watch. "About…an hour or so..." Genie replied. "What? We don't have that kind of time! We already wasted a day!" Alex said. "Fine, for my first "Official" wish. I wish we were in Agrabah!" "Now you're talking!" Genie said as he snapped his fingers. The group disappeared in a puff of blue smoke, and re-appeared at the front gate of Agrabah.
"Well, you know where to find me!" Genie said disappearing into the lamp. "Hey Genie…" Alex said. "Why do you need to stay in a lamp anyway?" Genie reappeared again. "It's all part of the whole gig, Phenomenal Cosmic Power! Itty Bitty living space." "That's terrible." Ariel said. "Is there anyway to get out?" "The only way I get out, is if my master wishes me out!" Genie replied. 'What if I wish you free after my second wish?" Alex asked. Genie suddenly began hugging him tightly. "You'd do that for me?" Alex gasped for air. "Yeah sure, now let me go before I suffocate!" Alex begged. Genie dropped him and disappeared into the lamp. Ariel helped him up. "So, where do we find Jafar?" Jack asked. "My guess is the Palace if he's been ruing over Agrabah for awhile." Alex said. "Then let's go!" Stitch said. The team began to make their way to the Palace. When they reached to front gate Alex began to get a bit nervous, but shook it off. As they were about to enter, a puff of red smoke clouded their vision. When it cleared, there stood Jafar. Alex quickly hid the lamp behind his back.
"Disney Warrior, we finally meet." Jafar said, "I do believe you have something that belongs to us…" "You're not getting the Disney Blade!" Alex shouted. Iago flew off of Jafar's shoulder and into the sky. Alex quickly pulled out the lamp. "GENIE! I wish for you to get rid of Jafar!" Alex shouted. In an instant Genie re-appeared dressed as an Army general points a huge machine gun in Jafar's direction. "Any last words?" Genie asked. "Yes, your second wish has been denied!" Jafar shouted. Alex looked and saw that the lamp was gone! Iago was holding in his talons, who dropped in Jafar's hands. Genie disappeared and re-appeared next to Jafar. "Genie, my first wish! I wish for you to make me the most powerful Sorcerer in the world!" Jafar shouted. "GENIE NO!" Alex pleaded but it was too late. Genie blasted him with magic and Jafar began to glow. "Now then…" Jafar pointed his staff at Alex and blasted him into a wall. "Ta-ta…" Jafar said as he and Genie disappeared in a puff of red smoke.
Alex groaned a he got up. "What now?" Jack asked. "First, we gotta break into the Palace." Alex said. Alex then turned to Ariel. "Ariel, can you wait for us back at the Black Pearl?" Alex asked. "But I want to come with you!" Ariel protested. "Jafar is now the most powerful sorcerer in the world! It's too dangerous!" Alex said. "Please Alex!" Ariel argued. "It's for your own good!" Alex said. A tear ran down Ariel's cheek. "You're beginning to sound just like my father!" Ariel yelled before running off. "Ariel! Wait!" Alex cried but it was too late, she was gone. "I know this a bad time and all…" Jack said. "But, um, does this mean she's available?" Alex resisted the urge to strangle Jack. "No Jack, she is not…" Alex groaned. "Let's just stop Jafar, than I'll deal with that…" Jacked looked at the gate. "It's locked, and I highly doubt we can climb up that wall." Jack said. Alex glanced at Stitch. "Stitch, can you blow a hole in the wall?" Alex asked. Stitch nodded and jumped off Alex's shoulder. He backed up and charged at the wall. He then head butted his way thru the wall creating a huge hole. "A whole new meaning to the phrase "Use your head…" Alex said as he and Jack climbed thru.
Since Jack was a master at break in and entering. The easily slipped past the guards and into the Palace. 'Where to now?" Jack asked. "Let's try this way!" Alex said opening a door. It led them into a dungeon. There they saw a familiar face. "ALADDIN!" Alex cried as he ran up to him, he was chained to a wall. "Alex! Get me outta here!" Aladdin said. Stitch bit the chains off Aladdin's arms. "Aladdin? Where's Jafar?" Alex asked. "In the Throne Room with Jasmine!" Aladdin said. "Can you take us there?" Jack asked. Aladdin nodded and led them out of the dungeon and into the Throne Room. They all hid behind a pillar. They listened in on Jafar gloating to himself. "This is perfect." Jafar said to himself. "I have the power, the Princess, and Agrabah! The only thing that would make this better is if I were the leader of the Syndicate!" This gave Alex an idea. "Okay guys I got a plan, but Aladdin, your gonna have to take one for the team." Aladdin nodded and shared his plan.
When they were in agreement Aladdin ran out of his hiding place and charged at Jafar. Jafar looked and saw Aladdin coming at him. "That street rat again?" Jafar cried. "Genie! I wish for you to stop him!" Jafar had played into Alex's hand. Genie groaned as he blasted Aladdin into a pillar. That was Alex, Jack and Stitch's cue. They all leapt out to face Jafar. "What now Jafar?" Alex asked. "I heard your plan to overthrow the Syndicate, so go ahead, wish for Genie to stop us; you'll still have us to deal with because Genie's can't kill people! And you won't be leader. But if you wish yourself leader, you'll have us to deal with! Which is it?" The plan worked, either way, Jafar would lose. But instead, he was laughing. "Very good…" Jafar said. "I expected no less from the Disney Warrior…but why have Genie get rid of you?" Jafar began to float in the air and glowing. "You know the old phrase, when you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!"
