A Quest to Find Missing Friends Arc

The group carry on up the stairs to the next floor. Donald wondered out loud if there was anything they had already forgotten but Goofy asked if they did what memories could they have been. They all stop and think for a moment. All Charlie could remember was Ryan but maybe that's what her heart wants to remember? Goofy couldn't think of anything that he forgot and concluded he really is losing his memories. Donald's heart sank. He didn't want anyone to lose any memories at all in thee first place. Goofy reassured the Court Wizard that if he's forgotten them then they couldn't have been that important.

"Right, or else I don't think you would have forgotten it." Sora agreed.

Sora fished into his pockets and pulled out something that would always make Sora smile. Donald asked what it was and Sora explained it was a good luck charm that Kairi gave him. Charlie remembered it all too well. Her eyes were fixated on it and a pain had appeared within her chest. It hurt her.

"Why is this upsetting me? Kairi is my friend!" Charlie thought.

But she kept staring at it, drowning out what Sora was saying. When she placed a hand on her heart, she realised something was missing. Her neck was bare. It was as if a light bulb had turned on as she remembered Ryan still has her necklace! Why was she upset about Kairi's charm? It's not like Charlie actually has strong feelings for Sora, right? Right?

Charlie looked up to see a big smile on Sora's face. As long as he's happy, nothing else matters. He then seemed a little spaced out, probably thinking about Kairi. But something was off… He turned around and asked if he knew that girl. Obviously he wasn't talking about Kairi, as the boys were just talking about her. Is there another girl in his life? Why didn't he tell Charlie about her before? Sadness grabbed Charlie's heart at that moment.

Crack!

Donald asked where Sora went in his mind but the boy told them not to worry about it. Goofy told the gang to keep going, Sora was hesitant at first; after what he had just experienced, but stepped forward anyway. Charlie didn't mean to but kept looking at Sora with a worried expression on her face. Something just happened and she was unsure on how to deal with it.

Sora had picked the next world to enter and with a flash from the card, the large, white doors opened and the four stepped through. When they arrived, Charlie felt a heavy heat, crushing her ability to breather properly. It probably wasn't the best place to wear a hoodie in the middle of a desert.

"Look, Sora, Charlie! Someone's in trouble!" Goofy said.

In front of the group stood a boy older than the teens, probably late teens to be exact. He had a weapon, scimitar Charlie concluded, but he was surrounded by Heartless! Donald told them that they should help. The group rush over and summoned their weapons.

"Mind if we help?" Sora asked.

"Thanks! I thought I was done for!" The boy replied.

At first, they were only shadows. Nothing to hard to handle for Charlie and Sora. But then Bandits appeared. A Goofy card appeared which Charlie picked up and used immeditaly. Goofy performed the Goofy Smash before disappearing. Soon all the Heartless were defeated.

But more appeared!

"They just keep coming!"

"Guess we'd better see if the legends are true. Magic lamp, my first wish! Get rid of these Heartless!" The boy demanded.

He grabbed a gold lap from his pocket, he held it up and blue smoke poured out of it. Out of the blue smoke was a blue figure. He introduces himself as Genie of the lamp and claims he can make everything right again. Everyone stared in awe at the mysterious genie. Could Genie really make all of the Heartless disappear? This was something Charlie had to see! Genie wags his finger in the air and in a puff of magic, the Heartless disappear.

"That's amazing!" Charlie beamed.

"Gawrsh!" Goofy watched in surprise.

Donald asked Aladdin why he didn't summon Genie in the first place. Aladdin was about to explain until Genie interrupts and explains that you only get three wishes per master and you can't even wish for more wishes. So that means, Aladdin has two wishes left. Sora warned Aladdin t be careful of the remaining wishes.

"But I've got to get back to the palace somehow. But with all these Heatless…" Aladdin sighed.

Charlie looked at Sora, knowing what was about to happen.

"Hey, Sora, Charlie. We're headed that way too, so why don't we go with Aladding?" Goofy suggested.

"Sounds like a plan. What do you think, Charlie?"

"Sure, I kinda expected this anyway." She smiled.

Sora gained the Key of Beginnings card and headed off. When they entered their next destination, Goofy asked why Aladdin was heading to the palace in the first place. Apparently, the royal vizier tricked Aladdin in getting the lamp from the Cave of Wonder, which was crawling with Heartless. He was lucky he made it out in one piece. Sora asked if there was anyone there to help but even so, the vizier, Jafar had some nerve to give such a dangerous task.

"Aladdin, you should be more careful." Charlie said worriedly.

"I know how you feel, Master. 10,000 years. And what help do I get?

I keep wishin' someone will wish me outta this gig. But go figure on the odds of that." Genie spoke.

Aladdin then suggested using his third wish to set Genie free. Genie couldn't believe it! After all this time, Genie will be able to do as he pleases! Charlie smiled. She can see the two of them becoming close. Aladdin promised he will set the genie free and anyway there was only one thing that was on Aladdin's mind. Genie asked what everyone else had on their minds. What did Aladdin want?

"Well, there's this girl. Her name is Jasmine. She's princess of Agrabah. And… that's the problem. It's hard for a 'street rat' like me to get a chance to see her. That's how all this started. I thought if I went to the Cave of Wonders, I could get the treasure, and maybe then Jasmine would want to meet me." Aladdin explained.

Charlie looked at Aladdin. He is in love with her. All he wanted was to see her; be with her. Charlie felt like it was her duty to make sure this will happen! She mentally vowed that she will help Aladdin fulfil this wish!

"Well, I've got just the package for you! You'll not only meet the lady, you'll go in style… as PRINCE ALI! How d'ya like the sound of that, Al?" Genie offered.

Aladdin was surprised albeit excited. Charlie was a bit hesitant on the idea. Princess Jasmine should meet the real Aladdin, not a phoney prince. But, Charlie felt alone in this opinion. So she just kept her mouth shut. They entered the Key of Guidance room.

The group finds themselves in a small alley. This is taken forever to get to the palace! Something caught the group's attention down below. There was a girl and she's surrounded by Heartless!

"It's Jasmine!" Aladdin stated.

The group looked at each other in panic and worry. She needed their help but Sora voiced out that they wouldn't make it in time. Aladdin, with no other choice, summoned Genie from the lamp. Genie appeared and Aladdin wished to save his romantic interest. The genie obliged and wagged his finger. In a puff of smoke, the Heartless vanished. The group rushed to Princess Jasmine's aid.

"We're lucky! She fainted, but it looks like she's okay." Goofy checked on her.

Everyone was relieved. But Sora pointed out that Aladdin has one wish left. Suddenly, more Heartless appeared. Aladdin was about to ask Genie to take care of them but Sora intervened. Sora stated that he shouldn't waste his last wish and to let the outsiders handle it.

Fat Bandits appeared but Charlie easily deflected their fireballs and casted Blizzara spells at them. The battle wasn't difficult but more on the annoying side. Charlie turned and watched Sora. He was really getting the hang of the cards now. The battle soon finished.

"See? We didn't need Genie this time." Sora pointed out.

"Sometimes we shouldn't rely on others when we can get the job done ourselves." Charlie added.

"Thanks, Sora. But I'm still down to my last wish…" Aladdin replied.

Flash!

No one understood what just happened but it didn't seem good. Aladdin then realised the lamp disappeared! But how? There was no possible way anyone could get their hands on it! The group look around to see if the thief had gotten far. Charlie looked up and patted Sora to grab his attention. He looked up to see a tall man dress in Arabian clothing holding a golden staff with a cobra head. Next to the man was a red parrot, hovering next to him.

"Hmm, it seems my plans have gone amiss. I was certain you'd waste your last wish… ….what with poor Jasmine in distress and these delightful creatures to deal with. But no matter. At last the lamp and its genie are mine to command!" The man pulled out the lamp.

Charlie and Sora glared at the man. First, he let poor Jasmine get hurt, second, he stole the lamp. Charlie was getting bad feelings about this guy. It was almost like a stubborn rash.

"Why are you doing this, Jafar? You've got the lamp! What more do you want?" Aladdin asked.

"Wait, this is Jafar?!" Charlie thought.

"Such an interesting question. You see, I knew you were going to use the lamp to try and win Jasmine's heart. But we can't have that, now, can we? Because I am the one Jasmine will marry!" Jafar announced.

"You?!" Sora asked in disbelief.

Charlie's grip around her weapon tightened. At first, she was sceptical with Aladdin using the lamp to change himself so that Jasmine will fall for him. But this was way beyond that! Jafar is going to force Jasmine to marry him! Jafar needed to be stopped!

Jafar revealed that if he married Jasmine, then he could become sultan and rule Agrabah! It was all a plan. Jafar made Aladdin to fetch the lamp so he could use it too force Jasmine to marry him! Jafar then wished for Jasmine to be delivered to him.

"Genie! What are you doing?" Aladdin asked.

"Sorry, Al. My hands are tied on this one. I gotta obey whoever has his mitts on the lamp." Genie apologised.

"Genie…"Charlie thought.

Jafar said his farewell and claimed that Aladdin was a fool before disappearing. Aladdin couldn't be anymore depressed. He had lost Jasmine and Genie. Sora being Sora, told Aladdin that if he didn't pull himself together, he would never see Jasmine again. Sora also said that even if he lost the lamp, they could still save Jasmine on their own. Losing someone you care about is bad, but never seeing them again is worse.

"Sora… You're right. I can't give up now! I gotta save Jasmine!"

"But Jafar's got the lamp! We can't just walk up to him and expect to win…" Donald reminded the gang.

"Maybe we can. I've got an idea. Listen up!" Aladdin gathered the heroes and explained the plan.

Sora was given the Key to Truth card. Sora and Charlie were wandering aaround trying to find the right door but something was plaguing Charlie's mind. Sora was ahead searching for the right door to notice. Charlie stood still in her tracks and her gaze fell upon the ground. Sora turned around to ask Charlie but stopped when he saw her expression.

"What's wrong?" Sora asked.

"Jasmine isn't the only one that needs to be saved. Genie will be suffering thanks to Jafar. No one should be forced to do anything they don't want to." Charlie said.

"We will save him, too but right now, Jasmine needs us. Then we'll save Genie."

Sora smiled at her. Hiss goofy smile made it difficult for anyone to be sad anymore. She couldn't resist but smile herself. She nodded. Charlie had faith in the plan but she had more faith in Sora.

The group had trekked their way to the Palace Gates and encountered Jafar. Jafar only spotted Sora, Charlie, Donald and Goofy for that matter, Aladdin was nowhere to be found. Jafar even asked the heroes if the street rat had given up on his beloved Jasmine. This only left the others to deal with. Even Jafar wasn't stupid enough to waste a wish on them.

"Aladdin! Now!" Sora called.

Aladdin was hidden out of sight and was lying in wait this whole time! Aladdin jumped down and charged towards Jafar! Out of retaliation, the vizier had summoned Genie to seize the poor boy.

"Al, forgive me!" Genie pleaded.

Aladdin growled before Genie swatted him away like a pesky fly. But that didn't deter Aladdin or the others. In fact, this was the plan all along! Aladdin pointed out Jafar's mistake and Sora explained that the villain only has one wish left! There wasn't much Jafar could do now.

"Go ahead; use it to win Jasmine's heart. You'll still have us to deal with!" Aladdin stated.

"Oh, now I get it. Al, you're so clever!" Genie complimented.

"So what are you going to do, Jafar?" Charlie smirked.

"Well, well. The cunning of a rat. But unfortunately, you can't see beyond the bait. Your little ploy changes nothing! I can crush you once and for all and make Jasmine my own! Genie! My last wish! Transform me into an all-powerful genie!"

Uh oh.

Genie looks down in uncertainty and snaps his fingers. Red smokes engulfs Jafar as electricity sprouts from him. Jafar then glows then releases energy which explodes above him. In a flash, Sora and Charlie are transported into an unknown area with rising blocks and the Keyblade wielders are surrounded by lava. Charlie figured they must have been transported underground in a cave of some sort. Suddenly, a figure rises from the lava and given the facial hair, it was Jafar.

"I picked the wrong day to wear a hoodie." Charlie thought.

"It's so hot! Jafar must be doing this…" Sora muttered.

Iago the parrot flies by the teens while holding an object with his feet. Charlie squinted her eyes and realised that Iago is holding a black genie lamp. That must belong to Jafar! She turned to Sora and he must have figured it out as he gave her a slight nod.

The teens rushed into battle. The blocks began to rise and fall which made it difficult to reach Iago while the bird is flying around. Charlie had casted a Blizzara but to no effect. They had to do it the old fashion way.

Jafar had stacked enough cards to lift a lump of lava and toss it at the teens. Sora stood on block that had risen up and noticed the boulder coming their way. He knew he was safe but Charlie lacked behind. Sora jumped down and pushed Charlie out of the way.

Charlie recovered and turned to see Sora to take the hit for her. Her eyes widened but there was nothing she could do. After the damage was done, Sora seemed okay? Nonetheless, she healed him with a Cure card.

Sora had given Charlie a thumbs up before returning to attack Iago again. However, the female teen knew that Jafar would be a nuisance. Maybe she could perform a Card Break? That would give Sora some time for more attacks. She charged at the genie.

"Charlie, what are you doing?" Sora called out.

"Trust me! Just be ready for Iago!"

Jafar had picked his card. It's a seven! All she needed to do was find a card equal to the villain's or higher. She skimmed through her deck. There a seven! She used it and… Card Break! Suddenly a green card appeared. It's a Mickey card! Charlie used it in an instant and all the blocks were now at the same level.

But the sneaky parrot had other plans and ascended towards the top of the cave! There was nothing that Charlie could do! Magic had no effect. But Sora knows Strike Raid! She turned to Sora who glared at the bird. However something moved out of the corner of Charlie's eye. She then remembered Jafar was still attacking! She called to Sora and told him to move. They both jumped out of the way and this time, there were no casualties.

"Sora, do you still have enough cards to perform a Strike Raid, right?"

"Yeah, why?" Sora replied.

"Knock that damn parrot down!"

He obliged and performed a Strike Raid. Iago descended enough for the teens to land a few combos. They landed a few hits but the blocks returned to their original states. But that wasn't a problem. They finally had a strategy: Sora was more agile to platforming than she was, so she would distract Jafar and attempt to gain another Mickey Card.

And the strategy is working.

Iago was struggling to fly and Jafar was getting more aggressive with his attacks. The teens were winning. That is, until Charlie had gotten too close to Jafar and swatted her away. Sora heard yelp and turned to her. He ran over and picked her up bridal style. He trekked to the other side of the cave, and as far away as from Jafar as possible, and gently placed her down.

Anger bubbled up within him. Sora clenched his hands and shook violently. He didn't care about the rising blocks; he didn't care about the heat. All he cared about was Charlie's safety. He didn't hold back on his last attacks and became reckless. Even when Jafar attacked with a giant clump of lava, Sora shook it off like it was nothing.

Sora finally defeted Iago, and with that, defeated Jafar as well. Sora rotated back towards Charlie.

He slowly walked towards her. He picked her up and whispered an apology to her ear. Slowly, Charlie eased her eyes open and placed a hand over his and gave him a weak smile. His eyes widened.

"Why so glum, chum?" She spoke barely in a whisper.

"Don't scare me like that ever again." His eyes were full of concern as he pulled her close.

"Sorry, I guess I was reckless and overconfident."

Charlie fished in her pocked and retrieved a Cure Card and used it on herself. She jumped out of Sora's hold and gave him a reassuring smile. Later, everyone met back at the Palace Gates. Donald was happy and stated that we saved Jasmine as well as retrieving the lamp back.

"You still have one wish left, Aladdin." Goofy reminded.

"He sure does. Time for me to make a prince outta this guy! Course, I'd like to be free, but like they always say, genies can't be choosers. You're probably miffed about that whole puppet - of - Jafar thing, anyway. Go on, Al. Wish for what's really iin your heart. Be a prince. Get the girl." Genie said.

"Genie…" Charlie thought.

Aladdin was ready to make his final wish. What Genie said echoed in his mind. He said his wish. But it wasn't to be a prince, no. He kept his word and wished for Genie's freedom. Genie was surprised! He started to glow and his mystical tail turned into a pair of legs. Aladdin explained that no one can ever take advantage of him again now that he's free.

"Al, I'll never forget this. But what about Jasmine? What are you gonna do?" Genie asked.

Aladdin explained that he was wrong. If he used Genie's help he wouldn't be any better than Jafar. He said that Jasmine means the world to him so he should show her the real Aladdin. Sora and Charlie were happy to hear this from him. Aladdin had said a thank you to Sora and wished him good luck.

"What for?" Sora asked.

"I was ready to give up back there, but what you said really kept me going. That's when it hit me. You must be looking for someone you care about, too" Aladdin explained.

Because of this, Aladdin was about Genie if he could assist the heroes in their journey but Genie had beaten him to it. The genie then summoned a card and handed it to Sora. The card had an image of Genie on it so whenever Sora and Charlie needed him, Genie will be there to help.

"Are you sure?" Sora asked.

"Any time at all. Hey, without you guys, I might never have been able to ditch that lamp! And I think Aladdin will be fine without me for at least a little while." Genie assured them.

"I see. Thanks!" Sora said.

"Thank you, Genie." Charlie smiled.

"Let's hope both our wishes come true, then. Take care, Sora, Charlie!" Aladdin said his farewells.

Everyone said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Charlie was glad that this was a happy ending. She was happy that Aladdin realised that Jasmine should fall for Aladdin's personality and not a façade.

Everyone ran into the Exit Hall on of the floor. Charlie just wanted to get through all of Castle Oblivion and get of here. She turned around to see Sora in deep thought. He mentioned about the other girl again. Charlie's eyes fell. Then Donald called his name and Sora yelped.

"Let's go! You guys want to find Riku, Ryan and the king, don't you?" Donald asked.

"Of course!" Charlie smiled.

"Um, sure. Man. It was right on the tip of my tongue…" Sora muttered.

However, Charlie heard everything. She was confused. Why didn't Sora tell her abut this other girl? I thought they were close? Her thoughts turned to Ryan. Why was she getting upset over Sora when she has Ryan? But in this case, Ryan would know what to do.

"Ryan, tell me what to do…" Charlie thought.

The girl in the white dress sat inn a white room while drawing in a sketch book. She was currently sketching a picture oh herself, Sora, Riku and Kairi. Then, she flipped the page and gazed upon another image of herself but with Charlie and Ryan. Charlie was in the middle, smiling while holding the girl's and Ryan's hands. She stared at the picture longingly…
