We're back folks!

And once again, thanks to the help of SPYRO 101. managed to get this next chapter posted pretty quickly. So yes were we last left off, the team is about to head inside the mystical Cave of Wonders. And just as a reminder as I've stated before. This will have very little to do with the Return Of Jafar movie. But will be loosely based on the version from Kingdom Hearts II. Iago will not have a liars reveal subplot in this chapter because I despite that cliché that's been run down to the ground in many movies. Instead it will be humorous. Hot. Adventurous. And it will feature a hilarious scene from Ice Age 3 Dawn Of The Dinosaurs. Despite it being a somewhat average movie. There was one scene that I always laughed at. Can you guess what it is?

"I thought you were a female?" Maverick guessed.

No. And now to answer some comments.

olehbilenko93: Thank you! The original Aladdin movie is also one of my favorite Disney films growing up as a child.

KingdomWarrior125: Thank you! Yeah I wanted to give Jasmine a realistic reaction to Iago being back. And I also found it hilarious that she shook the cage with him in it. And I'm glad you enjoyed the Genie in the last chapter. Robin and his humor will always be a blessing. Even as me makes my Grandmother laugh in heaven.

SPYRO 101: Thank you! Yeah those two are a power ball of humor and insanity! Just wait until we get to where they're traveling to the cave of wonders.

Haxorus knight: Interesting observation. the Rubalkhali Stone definitely has a similar vibe like the Phantom Ruby from Sonic. Despite that it has a different purpose and power for this plot.

RustyPete12: Thank you! Yeah the Naga Heartless was something I came up with on my own. They sort of are based on Kurt Zisa, but they are gray and green with different abilities. Speaking of Kurt Zisa though wait until we get to the boss battle inside the Cave Of Wonders.

Oh! And one more thing! Does anyone know of an artist that can draw Victoria and Kairi in they're Agrabah based outfits? Possibly from Deviantart? Because that I have to focus my funds on a big move happening at the end of this month. I'm on a budget. So if anyone can, and are willing and wants to. Could any of you commission for a picture of Victoria and Kairi to be drawn in great detail with their good looks? You have my permission to do so if you want to. You would be doing this act of charity to me and our fantasies a great service.

Alright! Now that we're all here!

LET'S GET DANGEROUS!


The Three Trials Of Ubar.

Down at the bazaar...

While the team was getting ready for their travel to the Cave Of Wonders with Aladdin. Aiden had been searching the market place looking for the art merchant that Abu stole the map to the cave from. So far no one was selling art around the bazaar which was weird.

Even when Aiden used the direction Aladdin provided. He kept ending up with the same results. But when Aiden went up to the same stand the art merchant was using, someone else was there selling other goods.

"Okay are you sure you're not just filling in for someone or perhaps you've bought this stand just an hour ago?" Aiden pressed on asking the merchant who was there selling rugs instead of art.

"I told you already! I've owned this stall for over a month! And I sell rugs not art!" The art merchant yelled.

"So are they vegan based?" Aiden inquired humorously.

"Are you saying making rugs is not an art?!" The merchant glared.

"I didn't say that you did." Aiden deadpanned with a smirk. "You should be ashamed of yourself for not giving vermin enough credit to make a foot paddling out of their hard working skin."

"If you're trying to tell me hand made carpentry is not art you can just leave!" The merchant snapped getting frustrated with Aiden constantly asking questions.

"Alright. I'm going. Don't come ranting if no one finds your fabrics edible." Aiden held up his hands while walking away. Then he muttered. "I've seen better rugs at the restroom in Home Depot."

So the guy Abu stole the map from never sold art, and doesn't remember having his stuff stolen. At least according to the guy selling bland tasting rugs. The team is going to be confused about this.


Back at the palace Courtyard...

Aiden teleported back over to the courtyard of the palace where his team along with Aladdin, Jasmine, Abu and Genie were waiting for him. They were ready to head for the cave. But they needed to know how an art merchant came across a map to the Cave Of Wonders in the first place.

Genie looked like a Security Guard sleeping in a chair, he must've been waiting for a while for Aiden to get back. Which was just thirty minutes. But for a Genie who's ready for action. That's an eternity.

"Any luck?" Sora went up to Aiden.

Aiden shook his head. "None. I've searched everywhere and no one is selling art. I even went to the stall Al mentioned. The dude over there only sells rugs. And not even good ones."

"Great. Just our luck." Sora says slouching over in exasperation.

"I don't get it. I saw the merchant myself. He yelled at Abu when he took off with the map." Aladdin said in confusion. "How can he go from being furious about losing that map and then act like it never existed the next?"

"Mmm. Maybe he has amnesia." Goofy said while rubbing his chin in thought.

"Really Goofy?" Donald said, making Goofy a look. "You really think someone could magically forget that they lost a map to a hidden treasure?"

"Maybe the guy is schizophrenic." Victoria shrugged while standing with Kairi and the team.

A poof of smoke surrounded Genie giving him a nice suit with a monocle over his left eye.

"I do say, schizophrenia is a terrible condition indeed. Luckily, none of us here are insane." Genie said in a British accent before his clothes get all torn up with holes in his shirt, foam coming out of his mouth. And spoke in a rapid voice "Yessssss. We're all as sane as the next guy. Hehehehe!"

"Hey! What did I tell you about being insane?" Aiden inquired sternly at Genie.

A puff of smoke came up around Genie turning him into a group of blue school kids. All looking down shamefully.

"We don't suffer from insanity, we enjoy every minute of it." The Genie school kids answered in unison as a group.

"That's right. We're about to go into some Uncharted and unpredictable territory with a second rate copy right and a devil woman at the front of chaos. And the only way to way to be unpredictable back at them is to not have any indication that we're sane." Aiden stated with a smirk as he held his hand up for a fistbump." You dig me Blue Swede?

"Oh yeah I dig ya, ma main man." Genie returned the fist bump now looking like Snoop Dog. "It's gonna get crazy up in here yo."

"What in God's name did we just unleashed." Victoria muttered looking at the two of them.

"Well I guess we'll have more answers once we're at the cave." Sora figured.

"Before you go. I've been meaning to ask. Has Hollow Bastion changed since the last I was there?" Jasmine asked Sora about the conditions of the world she was taken to last year. She heard about the desalination that happened to the world and its people.

"Oh. It's gotten a whole lot better since then. " Sora said with a smile on his face. "A good number of people have already returned there. And a few of our friends went back to form the restoration committee and bring Hollow Bastion back to its best."

"Or at least as best as I remember it." Aiden said while he was typing on his Gummiphone.

"You were from Hollow Bastion?" Jasmine asked out of Interest curiosity.

"Well. Yes and no. I'm Shi'ar by origin and now I'm currently living in Arendelle as an adopted royal. But It's a long story that's best told over a five course meal and box of tissues." Aiden answered in a best case scenario type way.

"I'm half the reason you'll need tissues." Victoria mused.

"Oh I almost forgot." Aiden said as took out a metal collar with a red blinking light on it.

"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked, tilting his head.

"No it's not for you it's for him." Aiden gestures over at Iago who was still in an ice cage.

"Uh... That doesn't clamp my wings shut does it? Because there's some things that's inhumane to us birds." Iago said nervously looking at the collar.

"Leave me out of this." Donald grumbled because he's a bird.

"Not at all Angry Bird. This thing will allow you to stretch your legs with our permission." Aiden quipped as he bent down to open the cage and reach to put the collar on. "Now hold still."

Iago tried to back away but Aiden held them down and clamped the collar on quickly.

"Hey whoa! That's tickles! Ah!" Iago panicked a bit until the collar was clamped on his neck. He had to admit it looked pretty good and shiny. Iago smiled. "Say. This doesn't look so bad. It definitely bring out my red clarity."

"Oh it can definitely bring out more red if you press the wrong buttons." Aiden mused with a grin.

"Uh... What buttons?" Iago looked confused as he was allowed to step out of the cage.

"Let me put it to you this way Binky." Aiden constructed an ice figurine of Iago in his hands. "If you try to fly away. Attack us, which is impossible. Sing. Or do anything to piss us off. Pop."

Aiden made a pop noise with his lips and caused the figurine's head to pop off. Giving Iago the hint of what the collar will do to him if he betrays them.

Iago looked at the now headless figurine with his jaw (beak) dropped to almost beyond its limit and his eyes almost popping out of his head. He swallowed nervously.

"I- I get the p-picture." Iago stuttered out as he was looking ready to faint.

Aiden condescendingly patted Iago on the head "There there. Nothing personal. I mean for them, definitely personal. You're in deep shit. But for me, it's just business." Aiden quipped before he stood up and looked at the team. "Now unless you want us to use the ship, any ideas for how we're going to travel across multiple miles of sand and third degrees worth of heat?"

"Have no fear!" Genie started as he wore a cape with a big G on his chest. "This looks like a job for... GENIE MAGIC!"

Genie then waved his hands out, and after a big puff of blue a large private airplane appeared out of nowhere.

"How does he even know what an airplane is?" Kairi whispered to Victoria.

"I don't know. Most of these worlds stopped making sense after meeting Phineas and Ferb." Victoria sighed as she decided to just roll with it.

Genie appeared again dressed as pilot.

"Welcome to Genie Airlines. I will be your tragedy- I mean captain." Pilot Genie tipped his hat to them before continuing. "Our destination is the Mystical and terrifying cave of wonders. They say it'll take five hours by plane, I'm gonna do it in less than an hour. Now before you board, a few words from our stewardess."

Then Genie changed into a stewardess and smiled.

"Thank you Captain." Genie said in a feminine voice. "When you are on board, there are no emergency exits. But for safety, your seats also function as flotation devices. First class meals will be served along with snacks, provisions and drinks at all times. Back to you Captain Psychosis."

Genie then turned back into a pilot to proceed.

"Thank you Miss Insanity. And one more thing before we depart. Genie airlines cannot be faulted nor responsible for lost luggage or the possibility of injury or death when we crash." Genie motioned to the plane and a set of stairs appeared connecting to the plane door. "ALL ABOARD!"

"Oh boy!" Donald went to board the plane first. Hearing the sound of a first class meal got the best of him.

Goofy followed after him feeling just as excited. Then Sora went along with the team to board the plane. Aiden looked at Aladdin who was standing by and receiving a good luck kiss from his wife Jasmine.

"Hey Zayn Malik! Are you coming?!" Aiden called over to Aladdin from the plane.

Aladdin broke up the kiss and looked at Aiden with a grin.

"No thanks! I've got my own ride." Aladdin stated and whistled for something to come like a guard dog.

Only his ride wasn't a guard or a dog like Razoul. then out of the blue. Came flying in out of the palace was the Magic Carpet. It flew over to Aladdin and positioned itself for Aladdin as he stepped on board the carpet along with Abu. Aiden wasn't surprised to see it. He lives a weird life.

"Be careful." Jasmine held Jasmine's hand with a concerning smile.

"You know I will." Aladdin winked at her before he floated in the air by the Magic Carpet.

Then Aiden stepped onto the plane entrance and stood near the door to remind Jasmine of something he took precaution in just in case the Heartless came to attack the kingdom.

"Oh. One more thing! Make sure the guards use those neon swords provided in case those Heart Attacks show up! Normal weapons won't cut it!" Aiden called out to Jasmine as the plane was getting ready to take off.

By Heart Attacks Jasmine knew he meant the Heartless.

"Don't worry, I will! We'll be fine here! " Jasmine said with a smile. "You just take care of yourselves! And make sure you and my husband make it back safely! "

"I make no promises! " Aladdin teased with a smug grin. Which earned a stern look from Jasmine who crossed her arms. He snickered. " Kidding! I'll be back! I always do!"

"When you do I'm picking our vacation spot!" Jasmine blew him a kiss.

"You got it!" Aladdin smiled and Abu happily waved at her before they took off in the air by the Magic Carpet.

Once Aiden went inside the plane. And every member of the team sat back in their seats. Even Baby Groot sat on Victoria's lap and leaned back while she leaned back in her seat. A Genie staff member of the plane came out from the cockpit looking panic stricken.

"Wait! We don't have a co pilot!" The Genie staff member of the plane noticed on the chart while looking worried.

They knew Genie could just make one but Aiden also knew this means Genie was inviting him to the cockpit.

"I call dibs! " Aiden quickly answered and went past the seats to sit in the cockpit "Excuse me Licensed lunatic coming through."

"At least he's honest." Kairi remarked as she was seated next to her friend Victoria.

"He's always honest with me. That's why he's still alive." Victoria smirked.

Aiden went into the cockpit and sat at the co-pilot seat with his legs kicked up against the dashboard.

"In case we run into any trouble. I'll teach you how to shoot properly." Aiden winked at Pilot Genie ."That's how I always negotiate."

Mostly with the Heartless... Mostly.

"Professional." Pilot Genie praised quietly.

Then as Donald leaned back in his seat, next to Iago's seat.

"Who knew being on work release would be this easy." Iago sighed in the seat. "Aside from the collar. This is the life."

"You said it." Donald agreed. Then his eyes widened. "Wait! DID HE SAY CRASH?!"

Then the plane immediately took off into the air. With Aladdin on the carpet flying next to the plane. Heading towards the Cave Of Wonders.


Flying over the dessert...

As the plane flew over the Desserts of Arabia with Aladdin flying next to it on his Magic Carpet. Aiden and Genie were seated in the cockpit. Leaning back as the plane piloted itself towards the cave. They both relaxed and waited for the time to pass as they spoke to each other.

"Hey what day is it?" Pilot Genie asked Co-Pilot Aiden.

"Wednesday." Aiden answered.

"Really? Feels like Tuesday." Genie figured.

"Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel. Thursday has a feel." Aiden listed out the days while he was stoll laid back in his seat. "Friday has a feel. Saturday and Sunday definitely has a feel."

"I feel more for Friday and Saturday." Genie commented.

"Yeah." Aiden nodded with a bored expression.

They both looked bored as Genie smacked his lips quietly.

"Do you feel like we should've shot something by now?" Genie asked in a sigh.

"What's there to shoot?" Aiden asked with a bored tone.

"Well there's sand. More sand. And I think I see some sand." Genie pointed out window.

"We probably missed some sand back there." Aiden also pointed out the window. "Just behind the sand we saw earlier."

"Yeah." Genie nodded as they kept in their seats watching the plane keep flying.

"Right…." Aiden mouthed as he sighed. This was getting boring.

"So out of curiosity, what's the craziest thing you've ever done?" Genie asked while looking like a madman with a big smile on his face.

Aiden's face, a second later, had the same madman look as the Genie.

"That's a very dangerous question to ask. You might not survive the answer." Aiden said with a glint in his eye.

"Big deal, I live for danger." Genie said with his eyes practically glowing.

"Alright then. Just say the word, and we'll begin. " Aiden said sounding like a madman more and more as each moment passes.

"Ok. Shoot!" Genie beamed.

*BANG!*

Genie was shot with a neon gun in the head, making him slump forward in his seat.

"Always be careful what you say. It may come back to bite you." Aiden said in a Dracula accent before putting away his gun.

Genie shoots up again now looking like the hunchback. "Yes. Yes master. Yes." Genie said in a crinkly voice.

Aladdin flew up near the windows on the Magic Carpet and pointed down at the ground. Which signaled that the Cave is close. And it was time to land.

"Attention passengers We are now Arriving. Prepare for crashing." Pilot Genie announced on the intercom.


Near the entance of the Cave of Wonders...

Then the plane started to spin out of control as it was falling out of the air. And crashed right into the sandy ground nose first. Shattering to pieces. Before...

*BOOOM!*

The plane blew up.

Across the sandy fields were the team and the Genie standing right next to the plane they just flew which landed safely while they watched a different plane crash and explode into the sand.

"And that's what would've happened if you didn't choose Genie Airlines." Genie pointed out.

"Gwarsh." Goofy gulped at the thought of crashing on a plane.

Just then Aladdin flew down in front of the team and stood off the Magic Carpet.

"This is the place." Aladdin gestured them over to the cave entrance that was shaped as a large tiger head with an open mouth. And white eyes.

"Word of the day. Ostentatious." Aiden muttered looking up at the cave.

"Not much changed since that last time I've seen this place." Sora pointed out.

But as the team were approaching the Cave's mouth. The cave breathed in a vicious breath that sounded like an engine pumping steam through the nostrils of that tiger head. It brought the team on their guard. Kairi showed no fear as she summoned her keyblade along with the others. Baby Groot was the only one in the group that looked scared as he hid in Victoria's arms. Then the mouth of the Cave began to speak.

"Who disturbs my slumber?" The Cave demanded in a menacing growl.

"Holy shit." Victoria looked shocked and amazed.

"Woah!" Kairi felt the same way.

"Ooooh..." Donald, Goofy and Iago shivered as Baby Groot huddled up to Victoria who handed him close protectively.

"The cave sleeps with it's mouth open?" Aiden raised his eyebrow.

"Okay I don't remember this happening." Sora said, surprised by the cave speaking.

"Don't worry I'll handle this." Aladdin assured everyone as he spoke up to the cave. "It is I! Aladdin! And the Guardians Of The Multiverse! We've come for the Rubalkhali Stone!"

The Cave Of Wonders acknowledged the teams identity and identity of the Diamond in the Rough.

"I sense the essence of a Maverick. Very well. Know this. Magic is prohibited. You may have the stone. After you complete the Three Trials Of Ubar. Fail them, and you will die." The Cave stated before its mouth opened revealing a staircase.

Genie looked nervous looking down at the stairs below the cave. He was starting to sweat bullets. Actually he was sweating literal metal bullets out of his blue skin.

"Alright. Eye of the tiger. Not meaning the tiger head of my ex prison." Genie gulped as he was walking with the team to approach the stairs down to the cave.

Just then. Everyone heard the sound of a strong wind coming in. They looked over the horizon of the desert to see what appeared to be a sandstorm. But this wasn't an ordinary one

"IRIS? What's the forecast for today?" Aiden asked as he and the others watched gas the storm came in closer.

'There are no rain clouds for obvious reasons, or sandstorms within radar.' IRIS stated.

So if it wasn't a strong sandstorm approaching them. What was it? It turns out coming up over the desert in the form of a windy Sandstorm was a bunch of Shadow Heartless waving and flying up towards the cave.

This multiple Shadow Heartless was called a Sand Horde Heartless.

In addition, surrounding the Sand Horde Heartless was thousands of Naga Heartless.

"That is a major Heart Attack." Aiden pointed at them.

"A Heartless Sandstorm?!" Sora gasped at the sight of them. "With more snakes?!"

"What do we do?!" Donald looked at Sora.

Genie looked on at the Sand Horde and Naga Heartless coming up fast. Then Genie narrowed his eyes as he waved his hands. After a large puff of blue smoke, Genie multiplied himself into an army of Genie Walker Droids from both Robocop and StarWars. Along with an army of Genie black op troops. Ahead of them was A Genie Sylvester Stallone from Rambo. A Genie Arnold Schwarzenegger from Predator. And a Genie Bruce Willis from Die Hard.

They all aimed their guns at the approaching infinite wind of Heartless. And we're ready to rip those Heartless a new one.

"Go! Go on now! Do it! Get to the cave! While we bring in the choppa!" Genie Arnold Schwarzenegger urged Aladdin and the team to run inside the cave.

Genie will keep them busy while they run inside the cave to go through the trials and find the Rubalkhali Stone.

"You heard Code Blue! Let's get moving!" Aiden yelled as he and the team ran inside.

Then every single one of the Genie duplicates started blasting bullets. Lasers. Missiles and other objects like chairs, anvils and kitchen sinks at the Sandstorm Heartless.

"IT'S BEEN NICE GETTING TO KNOW ME BOYS!" Sylvester Stallone Genie said as they kept shooting.

"ME TOO!" Arnold Schwarzenegger Genie replied.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM! KA BANG!*

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All the Genie duplicates and Action Movie hero versions of him screamed as they fired at the Heartless.


Inside The Cave Of Wonders...

The Guardians ran inside with Abu and Aladdin. Along with Iago who was flying closely. Especially that he has an explosive collar on his neck that would kill him if he flies too far.

Once they made it to the bottom of the stairs they looked around and saw bright stones made of brass. And agricultural hieroglyphs of Ubar everywhere. While it fascinated Sora in the team. Aladdin could tell that something is wrong.

"Wait. This place looks nothing like last time. The cave is completely different." Aladdin said looking around confused.

Iago noticed as well, since he was with Jafar when Sora and Aladdin fought against Jafar in the cave last year.

"Yeah you're right. This place used to be worn out but filled with piles of gold and loot!" Iago flew around seeing that all of the treasure in the room was gone. "Was this place raided while I was gone?!"

"I don't think so. I remembered reading in several books that the Cave of Wonders changes its form in each passing year." Victoria pointed out as she was looking around.

"Oh I get it!" Iago says sarcastically as he was about to touch down on a stone floor panel in the middle of the giant room. "So we can't have the treasures and spoils of the cave. Because it wasn't the right year? What kind of bank is this place?! This is why people rob banks instead of-"

"STOP!" Aiden shouted holding his hand out.

"What?! I was ranting!" Iago defended himself as he stopped before he could land on the ground.

"Don't touch the floor." Aiden pointed below Iago.

"Huh?" Iago looked down and flew back over with the team as they see the floor

In the middle of the room. Each square shaped stone panel on the ground was littered with four different symbols embedded into the panels in different patterns. The first symbol was a camel.

The second symbol was an eagle. The third was a monkey. And the fourth symbol was an elephant.

"What is this?" Kairi asked.

"I think this is the first trial of Ubar." Sora figured.

"And I'm guessing this guy failed." Aladdin awkwardly pointed at a skeleton with missing limbs in the corner. Right next a missing floor panel. Leading towards a gaping hole on the ground.

"Probably was an explosion." Victoria pointed out the old smoke stains and ashes around the skeleton.

"that's one way to go." Kairi shivered at the thought.

"Okay I think I get this room. Get to the other side, but step on the wrong symbol, Boom." Aiden stated in mild humor.

Meaning that this trial was some kind of floor panel puzzle course.

"But which is the right symbol?" Sora wondered.

"Only two may choose." The Cave stated

Then a dark barrier came out of nowhere and blocked everyone else from proceeding. Except for Kairi and Victoria. Who were the only two that were standing near the floor panel course.

"Oh shit!" Victoria reacted as she was trapped.

"SORA!" Kairi shouted in fear as she placed her hands on the barrier.

"KAIRI!" Sora screamed as he ran up to the barrier and began pounding on it, trying to get to Kairi.

"Hold on!" Aiden held his hands out to shoot Ice at the barrier. But nothing came out. Aiden looked worried and tried shooting neon instead. He looked at his hands as nothing came out. "What the hell?!"

"WAK!" Donald quacked out after he tried to summon his mage staff.

"We can't summon our weapons!" Goofy pointed out after failing to bring out his magic shield.

"My magic is not working!" Donald exclaimed since his spells wasn't working.

"I can't summon my keyblade either! What's going on?!" Sora exclaimed in shock and frustration.

"We can't either!" Kairi noticed as she tried to summon her keyblade.

"Everyone don't panic! It's going to be okay, we'll figure this out!" Aladdin tried to calm everyone down.

Then Victoria held her hands up as fire and electricity sparked out of her fingers. Which surprised everyone.

"I still have mine." Victoria stated as she tried to shift into Blaze. But nothing turned on. Then she tried summoning her keyblade. And that didn't work either. "Well... Most of them at least."

"Hey! How come she gets to keep her powers?!" Donald complained.

"Wait hold on. Didn't the Cave say that magic is prohibited?" Aladdin pointed out.

And Aiden figured it out. "Right. And Vic's two main powers are not magic based."

"That's great and all but I think shooting lightning and fire everywhere will just piss the cave off." Victoria retorted.

"You two will have to go forward if we're going to get out of this." Aiden concluded which surprised everyone.

"WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock from what Aiden just suggested.

"Are you crazy?!" Sora snapped at Aiden.

"Yes but we don't have a choice. I know you're worrying about your future date, but this is how it's got to play out." Aiden said back at Sora.

"Ak ak ak!" Abu said, trying to get Aladdin's attention.

"Not now Abu. We're in the middle of a problem here" Aladdin reprimanded his monkey while looking towards the girls trying to think this through.

Abu then jumped up and grabbed Aladdin's face to point it at the map.

"ABU! Would you stop tha-" Aladdin paused as he saw Abu was pointing at the map frantically. Deciding to see what's got his friend all frazzled, he looked at the map and saw what Abu was trying to tell him.

Aladdin saw some ink drawn on each side of the map. Being curious. Aladdin folded the map half way and saw two of the symbols that were on the floor.

"Sora take a took!" Aladdin showed him and the team the map.

The two symbols were an elephant and a camel.

"Right. It's two animals people use to travel and ride around the desert or in a city." Sora figured.

"You know, you should start listening to Little Caesar more." Aiden mused about how Abu found the answer before they did.

"Ooh ooh!" Abu grinned smugly at Aladdin while he just rolled his eyes amusingly at the monkey and ruffled his head.

"Kairi Tori! You have to walk across to finish the trial! Step across the-" Sora tried to call out to them. But the dark barrier was emitting a sonic flair at the bottom, which was too loud at the moment from where the girls were standing. They couldn't hear Sora.

"WHAT?!" Kairi called out.

"WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Victoria yelled out.

"Ugh! Hold on!" Iago in frustration flew up to the ceiling above the loud eerie noise. "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"

"Yes!" Both Kairi and Victoria answered the bird.

"Alright! Walk across the panels to finish the trial! Step across the elephant and camel! Do not step on the Monkey or Eagle!" Iago instructed them carefully.

The girls nod and begin to walk on the floor carefully, their bare feet gently padding against the stone.

Kairi watched closely as her toes didn't make any contact with a different panel from the ones with two animal emblems they should step on. The square panels were big enough for the two girls to step across at the same time. Somehow it was working. They were stepping across and nothing was happening. Everyone from the other end of the barrier was clenching themselves.

"Come on Kairi." Sora whispered. "You can do it."

After a few tense minutes. They were almost at the end. The blank panels at the end of the puzzle floor were blocked by panels with monkey symbols. Which meant they had to jump in order to reach the other end.

"Alright. Just like I taught you. You're ready?" Victoria said while getting herself ready to jump.

Kairi took a deep breath and positioned her foot to jump. "Ready." She nodded.

Then both girls jumped at the same time right over the monkey embedded panels. and they landed feet first on the blank panels.

Then the room began to shift as all of the symbols on the floor panels faded away and the entrance right in front of Kairi and Victoria suddenly appeared from the wall. Then the dark barrier block and everyone else vanished.

"Two trials remaining." The cave stated over the room.

As soon as the barrier dropped, Sora and the other Guardians ran up to the girls. But not as fast as Aiden and Sora were. Aiden took Victoria in his strong arms and held her close as he held back the fear of her losing her life in that trial.

Sora ran up and pulled Kairi into a tight hug as well. Which was a first for Kairi.

"I'm so glad you're ok." Sora whispered to Kairi, holding her tightly, afraid she won't be there if he let's go.

Kairi blushed at this, but smiled and returned the hug whispering to him "It's ok Sora. I'm still here and not going anywhere. It's gonna take a lot more than an explosive floor to get rid of me."

Aiden broke the hug with Victoria and asked "Are you alright?"

Victoria smiled and kissed him on the lips with her arms wrapped around his neck. Aiden melted in her lips and returned the kiss while she was still in his arms.

When Victoria pulled her warm lips away she smirked up at Aiden.

"Does that answer your question?" Victoria mused with a sultry look.

"If only we were alone and at the right age." Aiden smiled and muttered an innuendo.

"Just a couple of more years to go, babe." Victoria patted his cheek. Before she started walking down the stairs with the team. Aiden stared at her hips swaying in that outfit. And felt the butterflies.

"Thank you for blessing me with the hottest girl in the multiverse." Aiden whispered remarkably about the girl he adores.


So the team went down a spiral staircase. Having just finished the first trial and they were wondering what the next one might be. Iago was flapping his wings to follow them closely.

"You know I'm not going to lie. We would've been dead back there if the Red Wings hadn't shouted out the instructions." Victoria pointed out that Iago was the one that was loud enough for them to hear the map's instructions.

"Are you saying I'm obnoxious? Cause that part is no secret." Iago sarcastically responded.

"What we're saying Iago is... Thank you." Kairi smiled at the bird.

Iago blushed as he smiled. "Oh it was nothing. I mean you guys probably wouldn't do the same for me. But that doesn't mean I can do the same for you." Iago said genuinely.

"Wow. That's noble. Are you sure he's the same bird that teamed up with Jafar? For all we know he could be just a twin brother." Aiden quipped at Sora and Aladdin.

"No He's definitely Iago. But I'll admit he seems different." Aladdin said.

"Yeah. Iago was definitely not like this when we first saw him." Sora stated. "Back then, he looked ready to gouge our eyes out. Now it's like we were never enemies."

"Gee, I guess spending over a year stuck in a lamp may have given him time to reflect and become a better bird." Goofy says in thought.

"I'm flapping right here you know. And you're right Dog Man. I did have time to reflect." Iago sighed as he could hear them talking about him.

"What made you finally give up on Jafar?" Aladdin asked Iago.

"Eh. That's a thought question. To be honest I wasn't always Jafar's flunky. I used to be a stray bird because I couldn't copy anybody like most parrots. Mostly because I didn't want to. I could say hello just fine without copying someone else's lips. What's the point in saying 'Polly wanna cracker'? I can just say 'keep your crackers to yourself'! I was smarter than most birds and every time I try to show it, I would get shoved off. Kicked or hit with a broom. It was me and my Mom until she flew off with her mate and left me behind. Because she had some stronger hatchlings. She never really showed her love. She wasn't even there when I was hatched." Iago spoke out his thoughts as they were going down stairs. "And it broke me, burned me up. She just left like I wasn't even hers. And I had been that way for a long time until Jafar found me."

Aiden nodded to the team letting them know his back story was true. Which made them feel kind of bad. Humans can be willfully cruel. But even by animal standards that's pretty low.

"You were pretty vulnerable for him to use and manipulate you." Victoria understood.

Just like she was with Deathbird.

"Jafar just had his way with words, which made him very convincing. I mean if everyone treats you like trash then why stick your neck out for them? Why not kick them to the curb like trash too?" Iago asked in deep thought.

"Because you'd belong in the same recycle bin like everyone else. I learned that all on my own. With a little help." Aiden stated the facts to Iago. "It's not your fault. You just had the wrong person in your life."

"Though something tells me that after coming to us and warning us about the threats when you didn't even have to." Sora added. "Maybe you've outgrown Jafar."

"Or maybe he just outgrew me." Iago sighed.

"I doubt that. Look who got out of the lamp on his own." Aladdin pointed out giving Iago credit.

Iago nodded as he had to admit. Aladdin was right. "Huh...You know this is the longest I have gone without screaming in a conversation."

"And yet your nuts scratching voice still sounds like it can cut through diamonds." Aiden quipped.

Which made them all laugh including Iago.

"So true!" Iago laughed. Then he wiped his forehead. "Boy. The mush is starting to get contagious. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?" Iago wondered.

"No, I feel it too. What is that?" Aiden said as they could feel heat coming from the bottom of the stairs.

The team went down the steps and saw a large rocky underground cavern leaning down towards another exit. Passing some green smoke that came from a large chasm in between the entrance and the exit. Below the chasm appeared to be hot boiling green acid. Which concerned everyone. Above the chasm was a hanging cage that had the appearance of an old elevator shaft in the form of a ski lift. Pointed downward while hanging from a chain mechanism.

"What is this place?" Sora asked looking around. " Is this another trial?"

"I don't know. It sure does feel like a test. Maybe some extreme trust fall or something." Aladdin wondered.

"Wait! I know this place! Jafar and I came across here last year to find the keyhole. He called it the Chasm Of Death!" Iago said, informing everyone.

"Gwarsh Why is it called the Chasm Of Death?" Goofy asked.

"I was going to call it the Big Smelly Crack. But all I earned were a few giggles from the ghost bag guy." Iago remarked.

He meant Oogy Boogy. Since the other villains were with them to find the keyhole.

"That lift seems to be the only way down." Donald pointed at the metal cage lift.

"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked Aiden from in his jacket pocket

"How should we know if it's stable?" Aiden answered Baby Groot.

"Actually it's not. You need two people to operate the lift controls on the other end while the rest of you rides this thing." Iago explained the details.

"You mean the rest of 'us' right?" Aiden inquired.

"Nah I can fly." Iago shrugged.

"Good for you." Aiden bemused.

"I'll go and operate the controls." Victoria volunteered. "I can fly over there."

"Me too." Kairi offered as well.

"Whoa hold on." Sora was about to deject when Aiden held his shoulder.

"think about it Spike. It's best that our girls are out of danger first." Aiden stated.

Sora sighed knowing he was right and didn't bother to comment on the fact that he said 'our girls'.

"Alright. Please be careful." Sora implored Kairi.

"I was going to say the same to you." Kairi smiled which made Sora blush.

Then Victoria grabbed Kairi's hand and formed an electric aurora around Kairi. It didn't shock her, rather it made her feel light as a feather. Then the girls held their breaths as Victoria flew Kairi down to the other end while holding her hand. Once they were close to the other side, the girls saw that there were turn controls for the lift on the bottom. They landed on the platform and the aurora around Kairi faded.

"Made it!" Both girls stated as they took control of the switches.

Then Aladdin, Abu and the Guardians boarded the lift. Since it was made of metal it could support all of them. Iago hung back and flew while staying close.

"Alright then. All aboard! Oh I almost forgot to say. Breathing in those toxic fumes will probably…... kill you." Iago cringed as they were stepping on.

"Toxic fumes!" They all yelled as the lift started moving slowly with them on board.

"Oh now he tells us?" Sora threw his hands up sarcastically.

"Just another day in Paradise." Aiden deadpanned as he took a deep breath and held it in.

The others did the same. Aladdin. Abu. Baby Groot. Sora. Donald, and Goofy. All held in their breaths. The lift was moving over the gap slowly. Which was not a good sign for the team because they can't hold their breath for long.

Iago was flying over the toxic fumes as he told them. "Don't panic! It shouldn't be long!"

"We need to get them out of there fast!" Kairi panicked as she was turning her lever fast. While Victoria was turning hers just as fast.

"I'm trying." Victoria huffed while turning.

The heat in the room was starting to make those girls sweat.

"Keep holding it in!" Iago warned.

But Donald and Goofy couldn't anymore. Abu was the first to lose his breath and he gasped thinking he was going to die. But nothing happened. No burning lungs. No coughing. He felt fine.

"Eh? Ack ack ack!" Abu squeaked happily that they could breathe.

"Gah!" Donald gasped out. "I couldn't take it anymore!"

"Oh no! He breathed it in!" Goofy gasped then covered his mouth. "And now I am breathing it in!"

They both started choking and panicking as they collapsed acting like they were going to die, until Goofy realized they were fine.

"Hey! We're not dead!" Goofy said in a high pitched Chipmunk sounding voice.

Donald laughed at Goofy in his own chipmunki-sh squeaky voice. "You sound like an idiot!"

"Me?! You should hear you!" Goofy pointed out. "Ahahahahahahah Ayuck!"

Then they both laughed in their high pitched voice. Sora, Aiden. Baby Groot and Aladdin were still holding their breaths as they weren't sure what the gas was doing to them.

"Alright here we go. And 3. 2. 1." Donald counted.

"Christmas! Christmas time is here!" Donald and Goofy sang like Alvin and The Chipmunks.

"Stp! Ar yu crsy?!" Aiden muffled with his mouth clamped shut at those goofballs.

Which made Baby Groot start laughing in his high squeaky voice. Higher than usual.

"I don't get it." Aladdin tilted his head saying in a high pitched voice as well. Then his eyes widened. And he started laughing. "Hahahahahaha!"

"It's not poisoned." Sora pointed out as he spoke in a high pitched voice before laughing. "Hahahahahahaha!"

"No. But my mouth is." Aiden joked in his high voice. "Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Then they all started laughing and pointing at each other in high pitched voices.

Iago was flying near the exit when he could hear them laughing. Which the parrot knew that it was not a good.

"Stop laughing! All of you!" Iago yelled up at them.

"Stop laughing! All of you!" Aiden's high voice mimicked Iago's grunty voice. Which made them laugh some more.

"Hi Kairi! I loooooooove yoooooooou!" Sora echoed toward Kairi in his high voice as he and the others laughed. "Ahahahahahahahahaha!"

Kairi blushed so much hearing Sora say that, it made her hair look lighter by comparison.

"Hey Vicky! Baby! Was your Mama a fighter Pilot?! Cause when she had you in that outfit! She dropped da bomb!" Aiden joked in his chipmunk voice and the others laughed with him. "HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!"

Victoria knows she couldn't use the hammer because it will kill him. But she sure wanted to now.

" Aiden, when we are done in this world, you will be in for a world of hurt." Victoria says as an angry red fiery aurora surrounded her at that moment.

"Still. They're just laughing though. What's the big deal?" Kairi inquired with her arms crossed and muttered. "Besides Sora acting like a total doofus."

Iago flew over to the girls and pointed down at the chasm. "They died laughing!" He answered them.

The girls looked down and gasped to see a bunch of dead skeletons down below with smiles looking like they were laughing when they died. Hunched over and kicking their legs in hysteria. Which made the girls realize that the stuff making the boys laugh was not just laughing gas and helium. It's laughing toxins.

"GUYS STOP LAUGHING!" Kairi screamed at them.

"AIDEN YOU DUMBASS! STOP LAUGHING NOW! PLEASE!" Victoria bellowed and pleaded.

Back over on the lift. No one could stop laughing as the gas was taking away their sanity. And what was left of Aiden's sanity.

"You know what's funny though?! We're in the Cave Of Wonders to save this world! And now we're gonna die!" Sora laughed and the others laughed with him. "Hahahahahahaha!"

"My mom always said I'd die laughing. She never said I'd be surrounded by dumbasses!" Aiden laughed and they laughed with him. "Hahahahahahahahaha!"

"I never really had a Mom! All I had was the monkey!" Aladdin laughed and which made them laugh some more. "Hahahahahahaha!"

"You know What?! King Mickey has a pet dog, and yet I'm the only one wearing pants!" Goofy laughed and the team laughed with him. "Ayuck Ah hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

"Lucky you! I don't even wear pants!" Donald laughed and they laughed with him as well. "Wack ahahahahahahahaha!"

"Now if only our girls had the same idea!" Sora laughed and the others laughed with him for obvious reasons.

"Just the pants? Why not the whole outfit?!" Aiden humorously asked. "Oh I forgot! They're not wearing anything RIGHT NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

And they all laughed really hard at this And the girls could hear everything. At that comment, Kairi's face was a dark red and steam was coming out of her ears at the thought, while Victoria looked ready to break something, or someone.

"I thought they were just taking a dip?!" Sora looked confused.

"No we're the ones taking a trip!" Aiden joked about them being drugged. "Hahahahahahahaha!"

And they all laughed. They couldn't find the sense to reason to stop laughing and making jokes. Good or bad.

"Say are you admitting you love Kairi?!" Goofy asked.

"Of course! We're going to die anyway! I never admit it because I don't wanna force her!" Sora admitted while he chuckled.

"No Spike! The gas is doing it for you! Cause YOU'RE A REAL SCAREDY PUSSY!" Aiden bellowed in his chipmunk voice with crazy eyes.

They all froze at this. Even Sora's eyes widened at this.. Then they all resumed laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHA!"

"I am Grooooooooot! Hahahaha ha ha ha!" Baby Groot laughed.

"Priceless!" Aiden laughed at Baby Groot's joke. "Hahaha ha ha ha ha!"

"And so is my wife!" Aladdin laughed and the others laughed. "But Abu is on a discount! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Abu laughed at this. "Ack ack! Ahahahahahahahahaaha!"

Iago face-palmed himself as he held his breath and flew down there to push the emergency brakes off of the ropes above the elevator.

"gucci gucci goo!" Goofy tickled Iago's belly with his gloved finger.

"Hey cut it out!" Iago Iago snapped slapping Goofy's hand away.

Iago gasped as he realized he inhaled the gas. Then he peeked his head down to them and got frustrated.

"DON'T YOU MORONS GET IT?!" Iago bellowed then added in a chipmunk voice. "YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

They all froze at Iago screaming at them. Then they pointed and laughed at Iago's chipmunk voice. Iago laughed with them as he gave into the effects of the laughing toxins. "HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Victoria groaned as she looked at Kairi. And Kairi had the same annoyed look.

"Those boys can do anything half right can they?" Kairi deadpanned.

"Nope. They're two halves of a whole idiot." Victoria bemused.

Then Victoria grabbed onto the rope and sent an electric charge up to the lift to speed it out as the laughing team were being sent down much faster than earlier.

"WEEEEEEEEEE!" They all cheered with their hands up as they were being sent down to the .

"Too bad Genie isn't here to enjoy this!" Sora laughed.

"That's okay. He's one color away from Green! Abu can rain down the other one!" Aladdin joked and they all laughed as they were knocked off the lift and onto the platform where the girls were staring down at their boys with an angry expression.

As Sora and Aiden slowly stopped laughing, their voices were returning to normal and they looked up at their ladies. And they both sat up looking confused. The effects of the gas had finally wore off and they all came back to their senses.

"Where were we the last few minutes?" Sora asked, wondering what just happened.

They don't remember a thing.

"Don't act like you don't remember anything!" Kairi glared. Then her angry look softened into a curious look as she tilted her head. "Wait. Do you remember anything?"

Sora stood up and said. "All I remember was walking down those stairs and coming over to-" He turned and looked shocked. "The lift!"

The lift was busted and immovable now. Which had the boys worried.

"Oh no!" Donald gasped in worry.

"Now how are we gonna get to the next exit?!" Goofy panicked.

"We got to do something! We need that second stone!" Aladdin stressed.

"I am Groot!" Baby Groot groaned at their predicament.

"That's not the worst part! our girls are stuck on the other... Wait. How are you two still here?" Aiden looked confused. "Vic didn't you just jump down to the controls just now?"

Now Victoria and Kairi understand. The gas affected their awareness level. They can't remember anything before inhaling that stuff.

"They really don't remember do they?" Victoria asked Kairi and she shook her head saying 'No' . Then her eyes lit up with an idea before moving her mouth to Victoria's ear to whisper to her.

"Let's not tell them what happened for now. Let's wait till we get back to the ship, before we let them have it." Kairi whispered with a mischievous grin.

Victoria liked that idea and smiled sinisterly before nodding her head.

"Vic? What's with the face? It's adoring and yet disturbing." Aiden asked, looking nervous.

Victoria smiled sweetly before giving him a kiss on the lips.

"Kairi and I got you boys across. And it seems like the gas made all of you forget that you crossed." Victoria said so everyone could hear. Then she leaned over and whispered in Aiden's ear. "You're going to owe me when we get back to the ship."

"Oh..." Aiden looked back up at the entrance platform. And then back at Victoria. As he was kind of figuring out what happened. Kind of. "Right."

"It's okay. I'll go easy on you. Physically." Victoria teased as she pinched his cheek and walked away with Kairi toward the next exit.

"Can you too recall anything before the lift?" Aladdin asked Aiden and Sora.

"No.. And something tells me I don't want to." Sora gulped. as he left with the team.

"Lord give me strength." Aiden crossed his heart at the thought of doing Victoria's nails again.

Before he caught up with the rest of the team.


After that weird phase.

Aladdin and the Guardians went down the flight of stairs only to end up in another giant room that looked similar to the last trial they finished. Only this room was polished in gold and in the middle were two stone pedestals for standing. And on the front wall behind the pedestals were two large face statues built into the wall. The left one was the face of a man. And the other on the right was the face of a woman. And in between the statues was a sealed door to the way out.

"I'm guessing this next trial is an Arabian Telethon." Victoria quirked her eyebrows looking at how everything is set up.

"I'm not sure what that is but... I think this is some type of Trial of Knowledge." Aladdin guessed.

"And that last one must've been a Trial of Skill." Goofy said getting what Aladdin meant.

"Then the green crap we had to cross was probably the break room for smokers." Aiden quipped.

"So just like last time. Only two people are going up there." Sora figured looking at the two pedestals.

"And by the look of those statues. It's going to have to be one male and a female." Kairi figured out the statues and their positions.

"Alright well we all know who are the smartest people on the team." Victoria stated.

"Awe... Gee well." Donald gushed as he felt flattered.

But Victoria wasn't talking about him.

"Kairi you take one pedestal. Aiden you take the other." Victoria pointed to them.

"What?! Awe phooey..." Donald slumped in disappointment.

"It better be a quiz and not some ancient truth or dare test." Aiden said as he stepped on the pedestal in front of the male face statue.

Then Kairi stepped on to the other pedestal with the female one. Once they were both in position. The walls began to glow as five large torches appear over the wall of the sealed exit. above the torches were bright words displaying magically in front of them.

This was the first question for them. And it was in the form of a riddle.

*Voiceless I cry. Wingless flutters. Toothless bites. Mouthless mutters. What am I?*

Then two stone surfaces appeared in front of both Aiden and Kairi. On them were four switches, with a symbol next to each switch. One switch had a wavy like wind symbol. The second switch had a symbol that looked like ocean waves. The third switch had a symbol of a rain cloud. And the fourth had a symbol that looked like fire.

"You know it's like this place wants to kill us. It knows I can't stand a mediocre haiku." Aiden groaned seeing the riddle.

"Haiku are in three sentences Genius! Not four!" Victoria corrected from behind Aiden.

"Thank you lady Vicki Soseki!" Aiden saluted her sarcastically.

"Maybe we should have had the Queen of Fire doing this instead of the walking blizzard." Iago stated in a deadpan tone.

"Don't bite the hand that has the remote to your collar Chick-fil-A." Aiden said back at Iago, reminding him about the explosive collar the bird is still wearing.

"This is worse than Summer School." Sora muttered as he was having trouble coming up with the answer.

"I am Groot." Groot rolled his eyes making a statement.

"Wait hold on! Say that again Groot." Aiden caught something in Baby Groot's statement.

"Bingo! " Aiden said snapping his fingers. "Wind! The answer is wind!"

"Are you sure?" Kairi asked.

"Yes, that's why I'm saying out loud! Now let's pull the switch with the wind emblem." Aiden said as they both placed their hand on the switch and pulled.

Suddenly the first torch lit up. While the four other torches remained unlit. Which meant one riddle down, four more to go. Then the words on the wall changed into the next riddle.

"I'd always make these for the fam back home during Christmas." Aiden remarked watching the words change.

The next Riddle was as follows.

*What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?*

Then the symbols on the four switches changed. The first symbol was a man. The second symbol was a scarab. The third symbol was a monkey. The fourth symbol was a bear.

Kairi didn't even have to ponder because she heard this one before. No one said that this trial was going to use original riddles.

"Oh I know! A human being. As a baby it crawls on all fours. And as an adult it walks on two legs. And as an elder it walks with a cane." Kairi instantly figured it out.

"I am Groot!" Baby Groot gloated about how Kairi found out before Aiden, with a smug look.

"Oh like you could've figured it out sooner than her!" Aiden rolled his eyes at Baby Groot then he muttered. "Of course my answer would've been a baby. Just ask Riddler."

Then Aiden and Kairi pulled the switch with the human being symbol next to it. Then the second torch lit up. With three remaining.

"Ok. Whatever riddle appears next, I will be the one to figure it out this time. No problem." Aiden stated smugly.

The words finished rearranging and the third riddle appeared.

*First think of the person who lives in disguise. Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies. Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend. The middle of middle and end of the end? And finally give me the sound often heard. During the search for a hard-to-find word. Now string them together, and answer me this. Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?*

"... Ok... Problem." Aiden stated with deadpan shock.

Just then the four switches changed their symbols. The first symbol was a Griffin. The second symbol was a snake charmer. The third symbol was a squid. The fourth symbol was a spider.

"Okay this one is pretty tough." Kairi bit her bottom lip as she wasn't sure what it was.

"Oh what a relief." Aiden breathed that he was glad to not be the only one that didn't know. Then he earned a look from Kairi and quickly stated. "I mean, I agree. This one is the epitome of tough. Second to my Aunt trying to cook a turkey."

"I have a feeling by the time they figure this one out, we're all gonna be food for the snakes, the spiders, the scorpions, and the-" Iago started before Kairi held her hand towards him to get him to stop.

"Say that again." Kairi told Iago.

"Uh...I said by the time-" Iago tried to repeat.

"No no no. After that." Kairi clarified.

Iago looked confused. "Uh... Scorpions, Spiders, Snakes?"

"Spider! 'Now string them together'. That's a Spider." Kairi figured it out.

"Alright my relief is gone, but okay." Aiden nodded as they pulled the switch with the Spider symbol.

Then the third torch lit on fire with one remaining. And as the riddle faded. The fourth riddle appeared on the wall.

*In the dark, they arrive without being fetch. In the light, they are lost without being stolen.*

Just then the four switches changed their symbols. The first symbol was the sun. The second symbol was the moon. The third symbol was the stars. The fourth symbol was the Earth.

Aiden and Kairi looked at each other with an unamused look.

"The stars." They both deadpanned before Aiden and Kairi pulled the third switch.

"Wow. That was easy." Aladdin remarked as he was impressed on how fast they both figured that out.

"Aiden already knew that one. And he told us on the way over to this world. We tend to play certain road games to pass the time." Sora stated with a grinned.

The fourth torch lit with only one torch with one final riddle to solve. Once that's done the Guardians and Aladdin can proceed to the final Trial. And hopefully the Rubalkhali stone.

The final riddle was as follows.

*I talk, but I do not speak my mind. I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts. When I wake, all see me. When I sleep, all hear me. Many heads are on my shoulders. Many hands are at my feet. The strongest steel cannot break my visage. But the softest whisper can destroy me. The quietest whimper can be heard.*

Then the four switches changed their symbol. The first symbol was that of a man dancing. The second symbol was that of a pregnant woman. The third symbol was that of a funeral. And the fourth symbol was of reproduction. In great detail.

"Ew! Why did they have to show us that?!" Kairi squeaked in disgust as she covered her eyes, she was grossed out by the fourth symbol.

"I don't know. This must be how they do a Jeopardy at Caligula's home." Aiden was more weird out by the fourth symbol.

"So do you two know the answer?" Sora asked them.

"It can't be that hard. Can it?" Aladdin wondered.

Aiden knew the answer. It was one of his many talents.

"Hmm... And I thought this last one was going to be tough. This room doesn't know me that well." Aiden remarked as he went to pull the first switch.

"Wait you know the answer?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah. It was one of my many talents growing up. The answer is an actor." Aiden said as he pulled the switch.

Then the fifth and final torch lit up. the whole room began to glow as it was all a sign that the second Trial was finished. Or so they though. Because instead of opening the door like everyone was expecting. The torches vanished and two torches appeared in between the still sealed door.

"What? Is this suppose to be the lightning round or something?" Kairi stood looking confused.

"My answer is 'or something'." Aiden quipped.

as they looked to see two more riddles appear on the wall at the same time. In a row as they were aligned. Aiden knew one thing. Once he and Kairi solves the last two. The door will finally open and the trial will be complete.

The first riddle definitely rang a bell for Aiden. Because he was more familiar with it then his friends. Anyone who is into modern pop culture like him would be.

*As I was going to St. Ives. I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack had seven cats. Each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks, and wives. How many were there going to St. Ives?*

The second riddle below it was shorter then the first one.

*There is a house. One enters it blind and comes out seeing. What is it?*

The stitches split into eight switches in two rows. The first row of four switches had a number on each switch. 1. 2. 3. 4.

And the second row of switches had symbols like the last five riddles before it. The first symbol was a chariot. The second symbol was a palace. The third symbol was a house. And the fourth symbol was a school.

"I didn't know the Cave of Wonders was a Die Hard fan. The answer for the first riddle is 1." Aiden stated humorously about the first riddle.

"And the answer to the second second is 'A school'. Where all of my childhood best achievements came from." Kairi gloated with a giggle.

"And here I was thinking we were going to be here all night." Iago whispered.

As soon as Aiden pulled the switch with a number 1 on it and Kairi pulled a switch with the school symbol on it.

The room stopped glowing as the torches were both lit. And the door to the final trial finally opened. Which led to another flight of stairs.

"One trial remaining." The Cave announced over the room.

"Is it just me or are these trials not offering anything?" Aladdin remarked.

"I don't know. Maybe because we're doing all the work." Sora grinned.

They laughed at this. Then the Guardians and Aladdin went down the next set of stairs, focused on their last Trial. They were almost done.


After that last trial. The team went down another flight of stairs which they knew was going to lead to their next and probably hardest trial yet.

"You know given how easy to a certain point that last one was. This next one might be a breeze." Aiden remarked.

"You're obviously new to this cave." Iago deadpanned.

"Please don't jinx us Aid." Sora cringed a little.

For the next minute as they walked down the stairs, the only sounds that could be heard were the light flapping of Iago's wings, the sound of the boys shoes and boots on the stairs, and the light padding of the girls bare feet on the stone stairs.

"Okay is it just me or are these stairs longer than the last few stairs?" Aladdin noticed.

"This cave really doesn't want us in here." Sora figured.

"Or maybe it's trying to keep something monstrous in here." Donald gulped.

"Like who? Daisy's mother in law?" Sora mused teasing Donald.

"Burn!" Aiden snickered.

"Hey! Watch it!" Donald glared then imagined a photo of Daisy, himself with her monstrous mother in law. Not monstrous in appearance. More like in personality. It made Donald shiver at the thought.

Just then they made it to the final room. Which was a stone covered room littered with gold, jewels and other expensive treasures. Piled up to the masses. And ripe for the taking. Donald's eyes gleamed at all of the gold and treasure as he felt hypnotized by all of it. Even Abu was amazed and transfixed by the beauty of all of these riches.

"OH BOY!" Donald jumped and dove right into the gold.

"NOOO!" Aladdin tried to yell as Donald dove in.

But once he did, Donald froze and looked scared as he came to his senses and waited for something bad to happen. They all did. And yet nothing happened. The cave didn't even speak against it. Aladdin and the others looked around and everything was okay.

"Uh...What?" Donald inquired with his hands up.

"Uh….. This place isn't falling apart like last time." Aladdin noticed.

"Well the cave didn't tell us to not touch anything. Just no magic and to not fail the trails." Kairi pointed out.

"So the rules have changed?! SWEET!" Iago cheered as he dove in the gold. Then he called Abu over like he was inviting him in a swimming pool of treasure. "Come on in! The gold is fine!"

Then Abu beamed. "Ack ack ack ack! Whooo!" The monkey chipped with joy as he dove right in with them and swam in the gold with great joy.

Swimming in gold…..


Meanwhile, back in Hollow Bastion….

Scrooge McDuck was still at his ice cream shop. Sitting at a table as he was going over a list of ingredients. When he felt a shiver go down his spine as he was adding another ingredient to his newest attempt at recreating his favorite ice cream, sea-salt ice cream.

"Funny, for a moment there, it felt like someone was trying to take me place as the richest duck in the Multiverse." Scrooge said grimly before shaking his head fastly getting those thoughts out of his head. "Oh well, it's probably nothing."

Scrooge McDuck shrugged before continuing his latest ice cream attempt.


Resuming inside the Cave of Wonders...

"Ack ack ack ack!" Abu was enjoying a good swim in the gold as he was enjoying a swim in gold with Iago.

"You said it! I gotta say! I should've paired up with a monkey a long time ago!" Iago smiled as he leaned back in the gold.

"If you think that's epic. You should see how Iron Man likes to sunbathe." Aiden said to the team.

They all couldn't help but be amused seeing them play in the gold. Even Baby Groot was swimming in the gold coins. And eating some of them for some reason.

While Donald, Iago, Abu and Baby Groot were swimming in the gold. The team looked down to find the last trial and possibly the second stone. Until they made it at the end of the room and saw a large metal statue of what appeared to be a creative looking Monstrous Heartless with six long arms, two long sickle swords and the head of a Serpent And a slim body design with two long legs. This name was displayed in stone letters over the statue.

"Kurt Zisa." Aiden read the label. He snorted. "I would've gone with Sheldon or Negan."

"Hey look! There's the stone!" Kairi pointed underneath the statue.

They looked below the statue to see what was displayed on a red pedestal. The very thing they were looking for. The second Rubalkhali Stone. Unknown to all of them is that Pete was hiding behind the corner smiling sinisterly at the team. Knowing that they walked into a trap.

"Wait. This is too easy." Aladdin halted the team before they could grab the stone. "This room has to be the final trial. What if it starts the moment we take the stone."

"It's not like we have a choice. We can't let Maleficent have it." Victoria pointed out.

"You're right, but let's figure out a way to take the stone without setting up any possible trials or booby traps." Aladdin suggested.

Aladdin had a point. So Aiden came up with something he saw in a movie once.

"Here use this." Aiden handed Aladdin another blue gem about the same size as the Rubalkhali Stone. "Replace the stone with this counter part. it probably has to do with the shift in weight."

"Good idea." Aladdin nodded as he went up to the stone.

Aladdin readied himself to swipe the stone and replace it with the gem. Aladdin took a deep breath and used his swift thief hands. As he plucked the stone and left the blue gem in its place in less then a second.

Everyone clenched wondering what happens next. But nothing did happen. Aiden couldn't sense anything without his powers. But he was careful not to say anything to jinx them.

"Alright let's get out of here fast. I have a hunch that-" Aiden almost said when suddenly the room began to shake.

"Wack!" Donald was disturbed by the walls turning black. Baby Groot, Iago and Abu were frightened as well. They ran away from the treasure and towards the team. Abu and Iago shivered in fright and so did Baby Groot as they looked around as the walls were engulfed in black and the exit was sealed.

"Great! Can this get any worse?!" Donald exclaimed in frustration.

Then Suddenly the statue known as Kurt Zisa came to life and spun it's arms and legs in the air. Then the giant Heartless landed in front of the team and stood against them with his giant sickle swords. Ready to fight.

"Jinxed." They all said.

"Quick! Grab a weapon!" Aladdin drew his magic sword.

"what weapons?!" Donald exclaimed as he looked around.

"USE THESE!" Victoria yelled as she constructed fiery swords in everyone's hands. And two in Aiden's hands.

"Oh hell Yeah! WHOO!" Aiden leapt in the air with his new swords made of fire and clashed his weapons with Kurt Zisa's sickles. Blocking the monster for the other team members to attack.

"Okay now!" Sora shouted as he got into the fight.

Sora ran with Kairi as he smacked his sword against the left leg, causing Kurt Zisa to stagger on his other leg. Then Kairi barefooted up the monster's back and slammed her sword deep in it's back. Causing it to roar as the large Heartless shook real hard. Pushing Sora, Aiden and Kairi away and they fell on their backs. But they got back up and into the fight.

Suddenly Kurt Zisa conjured up a barrier of darkness as Donald and Goofy tried to charge at the monster's legs. But they were bounced off. Even Sora and Kairi tried but their swords couldn't break through. Then the monster held up it's hands and blasted balls of kinetic plasma energy at them. The team and Aladdin dodged out of the way, while Abu, Baby Groot and Iago hid in the gold piles for cover.

Victoria on the other hand blocked the blasts with her sword and jumped in the air and slammed her fiery fists into the barrier. When that didn't work she kicked into the air and slammed her left bare foot down causing a shock wave of lighting from her foot. Still nothing.

"Alright. Let's get to know you better bitch." Victoria snarled as she placed her hands on top of the monster's barrier and used her bio electric inductive ability to absorb the energy of the Heartless's barrier.

Victoria drained the energy from the monster's barrier and then she slammed her sword down breaking it apart. Then Victoria jumped off and gave the others a fighting chance. Aladdin tossed his sword like a boomerang as it spun towards Kurt Zisa's eyes, slashing at them to make the Heartless rub it's eyes. Aladdin caught his sword when it came back around.

Victoria bounced off the wall and dashed in the air as a ball of electricity. She slammed into the monster's torso. Then she bounced up from the monster and flipped in the air as her bare feet touched the ceiling. Victoria looked back down at the Heartless as she bounced off and slammed into Kurt Zisa's head. Then she conducts a strong surge of electricity to make herself stronger. As Victoria landed hard on her feet to the ground cracking the stone panels floor. Then in an electric glare in her eyes. She dashed and ran up under the monster, grabbed it's right leg with her arms and pulled. Tripping it on it's back.

Leaving Kurt Zisa vulnerable for the team to take it down with their fiery swords.

"Now!" Sora yelled as Aladdin Tossed his sword at the monster's eyes again. cutting them out.

Then Baby Groot who was feeling brave. Ran up screaming as his arms grew into multiple vines and wrapped them around the monster's arms holding them down as Donald and Goofy jumped and slashed the monster's medal arms off. Then Kairi thrusted her sword into it's back. Aiden cut the monster's legs off. And Sora Thrusted his sword into the monster's chest.

Thus slaying Kurt Zisa as it fadded into a light dust and a heart floated out of its body. Ending the fight.

"Final Trial completed. Take your prize." The Cave announced as all three trials were done.


The team huffed as they were all covered in a sweat after such a hard battle without their magic.

Even Victoria and Kairi were really sweaty. Which kind of made their smooth skins shine and gleam more in their and Sora took a double quick look at the girls before they focused. And saw a second exit. Which leads to the outside. It was obvious from the daylight coming from the stairs.

"Oh boy! An instant exit!" Goofy beamed.

"Let's go!" Donald cheered as they were about to run up those stairs.

"Not so fast!" They heard a voice.

Aladdin and the team turned to see a short guy. Standing there with a sinister smirk.

"Uh...Are you lost Kid? You have to be this tall to ride the ride." Aiden quipped at the fact that the guy was a midget.

"Wait. He's the merchant that Abu took the map from." Aladdin recognized the short guy.

Aiden didn't recognize the merchant because he met a different one in the bazaar earlier.

"Indeed. And you never paid." The merchant mused.

"Uh dude. You're surrounded by a bunch of treasure and shit. I think that pays enough for you and your porcelain grandmother." Aiden snorted about how dumb that sounds.

"Not about that Boy. The map was free to bring you here." The merchant stated. Then he smirked and revealed his real voice. "So that Aladdin can pay."

That was Jafar's voice.

Aladdin, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Iago all recognized the voice.

"No!" Aladdin whispered in horror, taking a step back.

"But that's impossible!" Sora stated getting into a fighting position while Donald and Goofy stood in theirs.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Iago squawked out before hiding behind the team.

"What? Did he say a secret code or something?" Aiden inquired, not sure what's going on.

"No Cold Breeze! It's Jafar!" Iago exclaimed pointed at him.

Then the merchant laughed as he a puff of red smoke came up and transformed him back into his real self. Jafar. Standing in his red sorcerers outfit.

"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Jafar laughed. "Guess who? Oh wait. You already know the answer."

"Huh..."Aiden raised his eyebrow looking at Jafar while everyone else looked alarmed and ready to fight. "I thought he'd be younger and more of a prime beef cake. They didn't have a gym or a bowflex set in that lamp? It's just you're so skinny you could hang glide using a tortilla."

"It's impossible! You can't be free and out of your lamp without someone to rub it!" Iago exclaimed

Iago never saw Jafar's lamp leave the cave ever since he got out and woke up in Agrabah. He didn't even see his lamp with Maleficent and Pete.

"Oh. But I can be Iago, my dear old friend. In fact. I can be anything I want." Jafar says with a sinister smile on his face.

"Mmmm and sounds so Tim Curry delicious." Aiden mocked using a Tim Curry impression, mocking Jafar's demeanor. Then it dawned on him. "Wait wait hold on. If you're the guy that almost married the Princess and she's like fifteen at the time. Then that means...Oh God. Oh. Oh shit. Oh god of shit! Guys! We are fighting a pedo. A real bag of yeast! A sneaky uncle! I have a list! I think I'm gonna be sick! "

Aiden faked looking like he was going to puke. He was basically calling Jafar a pedophile due to the fact that he tried to get the young Princess Jasmine to marry him. But Jafar wasn't amused by Aiden's humor.

"Bah! For someone of your status, you have quite the childish conduct." Jafar snarled at Aiden before he grinned evilly. "I'll be sure to enjoy killing you alongside the rest of you annoying pests."

"Uh...Hello?! Genies can't kill!" Aladdin snorted with his witty Street Rat side. "And I made you turn into one!"

"Didn't you get the memo?" Kairi mused sassy like.

"Probably burnt it in his last fight with us." Sora snorted at Jafar. "You know? When we kicked the crap out of you?"

"Perhaps he didn't get much air in his lamp." Victoria quipped sarcastically.

"Oh I haven't forgotten. I just happen to have an ability to make an exception." Jafar mused.

"Uh... kiddie fiddler say what?" Aiden quipped about Jafar's pedophile image and wondered what he meant by his statement.

"You see. Iago and I had parted ways the moment he came out of my lamp. He tried to escape the Cave Of Wonders on his own but without my magic it was hopeless." Jafar pointed out.

"You could've mentioned that earlier!" Iago ranted at Jafar right in his face.

"I did you fool!" Jafar snapped back glaring at him. "And yet you kept me in the lamp! Whining about how you were better off with me. Me! The one who took you in and gave you purpose! When no one else was there!"

"When I was convenient for you!" Iago exclaimed in anger.

"Tweetie. Just shut it down." Aiden suggested to Iago about him and Jafar's relationship.

"The cold maniac is right! I am through being part of a one sideded relationship!" Iago bellowed feeling free.

"Okay that sounds awkward when you really think about it." Victoria muttered a beasti/gay joke about Iago's statement.

"Fine by me! I don't need you anymore you worthless buzzard! I have a much more powerful alley! Who takes up after the Maverick." Jafar stated.

"Stormur." Aiden realized how he was talking about.

"Precisely. Thanks to him. We have this." Jafar held up the third Rubalkhali stone in his hands. "Your Nobody struck a bargain with Maleficent in return for Stormur's shared secrets. She gave him the third stone. He of course decided to free me and show me the stone's power."

"And you're telling us all of this like a Hanna Barbera cartoon villain because?" Aiden inquired looking unfazed.

"Screw this." Victoria shot a fireball at Jafar.

But the fireball went right past Jafar. Like a ghost or a hologram.

"Huh?!" Donald's eyes widened.

"Oh I am terribly sorry to give you the impression that I'm here to share this moment. I am simply preparing all of you for the final battle while I stand safely in Agrabah at this very moment." Jafar smirked at Aladdin.

"No." Aladdin whispered in shock.

"You see. Thanks to this shard of the Ruballhali Stone. I have gained a strong connection to the Cave Of Wonders. The cave of my exile. The darkness in my heart is now bound to the darkness of the cave itself. Anything entering this cave. I gain through the stone. Even the ability of those that enter. Like a certain warrior who can. How do you put it? Make your own rules!" Jafar revealed looking at Aiden.

"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked sarcastically. Translate: "You have a heart?"

"Hold on folks. I think the Nursery Sniff is one to something." Aiden was understanding.

"You and Stormur set all of this up." Aladdin was realizing as well. "The trails? The map? All of this was to bring us here and-"

"Study us all to find what he needed to get stronger." Sora realized as well.

"And now you have powers. Including my ability to break the rules of any jurisdiction and limit. Like the rules of a Genie." Aiden concluded as everyone was shocked to hear it.

"Yes! And now that I can kill! Agrabah will feel my wrath once again! And nothing can hold me back now!" Jafar shouted joyfully as he shifted in a puff of smoke and disappeared. with his evil laughter echoing in the air. " Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Come on!" Sora and the others wasted no time in running out of the exit.

With Jafar already in Agrabah. They have to get there fast. They played right into Jafar and Stormur's hands. Now they need to fix this.


Back at the Cave entrance…..

Aladdin and the Guardians were running up the steps towards the cave exit which was the tiger head entrance. Once they were halfway up the steps. Sora and the guardians was finally able to summon their keyblades and weapons now that their powers were back.

Aiden was kissing his keyblade like he was missing it for years as he was running outside the cave with the team.

Once they made it out of the tiger head, Aladdin and the Guardians found the army of Genie's still screaming with their multiple action hero duplicates in front. As all of their weapons were out of ammo and yet the Genie duplicates were still acting like they were still firing their rounds.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All of the Genie kept screaming.

Every single Heartless from the sandstorm and the Naga Heartless were slain. So there was no reason for them to keep screaming and acting like they were still shooting. Genie must've not turned off his thrill zone mind. They gave him a weird look while Aiden rolled his eyes and formed a snowball and aimed it at Genie Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-" Genie Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped screaming when the snowball splatted in his face. They all stopped screaming as Genie Arnold responded to Aiden. "Sorry."

"No big deal Blue Danube, we got a situation!" Aiden quickly said.

"What kind? Can it be solved with guns?!" Genie Arnold posed with a minigun.

"Genie this is serious! Jafar is back!" Aladdin stated making all the Genies gasped in shock.

"GASP!" Genie Arnold gasped and they shifted back into the one Genie.

"He's in Agrabah right now and he's teamed up with Stormur!" Sora added.

"And he used the Cave and the third stone to copy Aiden's rule breaking Jurisdiction!" Victoria stressed.

"And now he can do whatever he wants!" Kairi added.

"He set that whole place up to get this to happen!" Iago exclaimed.

"ACK ACK ACK!" Abu screeched.

"I am Groot!" Baby Groot screamed about the danger.

"Agrabah is in danger!" Goofy panicked.

"We have to go now!" Donald implored.

"Say no more my friends!" Genie stated as he rolled up his imaginary sleeves. "Genie's travel agency has you covered! "

Genie snapped his finger, creating a huge cloud of blue smoke that slowly disappeared revealing their new transportation.

In front of them were two silver haired horses with gold manes and tails. And on the back of the horses, silver saddles were placed, both being big enough for two people to ride on each horse.

Everyone looked dumbfounded at this.

"That's it?! That's the fast ride you're giving us?!" Donald exclaimed in outrage.

"These are not just any horses my fine feathered friend. " Genie said waving his finger in front of the angery duck before gesturing towards the two horses. "These two horses have a special power, which allows them to travel at the same speed as a fighter jet, with the added bonus of the riders not feeling any wind resistance."

This surprised and impressed the group.

"Now we're talking!" Sora felt thrilled to ride a horse that looked so cool.

They all nodded as Aiden and Victoria shifted into the Maverick and Blaze. Then Sora and Kairi shifted into their armored forms. The metal of Sora and Kairi's armored suits shined just as much as the horses.

"You guys take the horses. We'll take the skies." Maverick said as he and Victoria took off flying in the air.

Aladdin whistled the Magic Carpet to come over. The Carpet came flying in as Aladdin boarded it along with Abu. And Baby Groot was allowed on. Since flying a Magic Carpet was on the little tree's bucket list.

Armored Sora and Kairi got on the first horse. Sora sat in front on the saddle with Kairi sitting behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist, causing him to blush a bit.

"Come on Iago! You can ride on my shoulder! " Kairi called the bird over, who hesitates at first before doing as she says.

Donald and Goofy get on their horse with Goofy in front and Donald in back.

Then Genie snapped his finger and in a puff of smoke, he was now dressed like a cowboy on a horse of his own. More like Rooster Cogburn from the True Grit remake.

"Alright, you city slickers. Giddy up!" He said as he pulled the reins on his horse and took off galivanting .

Sora and Kairi took of on their horse with Donald and Goofy riding on their horse. Maverick and Blaze took off flying and Aladdin with Abu and Baby Groot rose on the Magic Carpet.

As the Carpet, Maverick and Victoria took picked up their speed while flying. the horses kept up as they began to run at top speed.

"Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaw!" Cowboy Genie howled as he rode on his horse with Aladdin and the Guardians Of The Multiverse.

"Hey Gene! How's about a little western ambience to get our kick ass on?!" Maverick asked Genie in a western accent

"You read my mind partner! Make it happen!" Genie winked before putting on some shades while riding his horse.

Then Maverick played a track on his playlist as they were flying and riding. If was starting to feel like they were riding in slow motion over a western montage through the desert.

(America - A Horse With No Name)

On the first part of the journey

I was looking at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

And the sky with no clouds

The heat was hot, and the ground was dry

But the air was full of sound

As the music played in the background. Guardians of the Multiverse along with the genie and Aladdin rode into the Desert Winds and Sans as they win a high-speed heading towards Agrabah to save the kingdom from the doom approaching from Stormur and the treacherous Jafar.

I've been through the desert

On a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert, you can remember your name

Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Will they be able to reach the city in time?

Time is of the essence and the Guardians will not back down.

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la


THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS!

Just to let you know I will need ideas for the battle against Jafar. Not just one to make Sora and the Guardians stand out. But I also want Aladdin to shine in this next battle.

So we now know the set up. Stormur as teamed up with Jafar off screen. He gave Jafar the third Rubalkhali Stone and Jafar used it to replicate Aiden's independence. So now he can kill even though he's a Genie. Did you think I was going to use a cheap running gag as an explanation?

"You'd be surprised what you can live through? What the hell does that mean?!" Maverick criticized.

Also can you guess where I got the riddle with 'a spider' as the answer? I already hinted 'Die Hard' for the riddle with 'one' as the answer. But thanks to SPYRO 101 for coming up with the other riddles. You're a good friend SPYRO!

Now as for what happens next? What Jafar plan to do to Agrobah? How will the next fight between the Maverick and Stormur end? What will happen to the Rubalkhali Stone after all three shards are united.

Find out in the next chapter!
