Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom Chapter 8: Being Second Rate, a disney fanfic

Chapter 7:

Being Second-Rate

Blurry had a hard time sleeping the rest of the night. Often times, he got up from bed, did some push ups or sit ups just to tire himself out but nothing seemed to work. That morning, he was exhausted and completely out of it. Merlin asked what was wrong, Blurry wanted to tell someone so badly, but he lied to the old wizard and told him that the last mission really tired him out. Merlin decided to let Blurry rest for the morning while he went out to find the next Crystal Piece.

Merlin's been gone since 9:30, and now it was 6:30 and it was getting dark out.

Blurry made himself some tea to calm his nerves. They still haven't calmed down since the dream that night. Blurry sighed as he sat down on the couch and took out his book and began to read it again. However, his mind started to wander from reading…

"Carol!" Blurry heard something falling down the stairs, and when he looked, he saw Carol on the ground, shaking and coughing up blood. "Help! Anyone! Help!" Servants of the Temputus Palace that heard Blurry's cry came as quickly as he could. Two servants helped Carol and carried her to the Palace's infirmary while the last one went to tell Blurry's parents, Father Time and Mother Space. As for Blurry...He followed the two servants to the infirmary but wasn't allowed in. Blurry stood outside the door to the room Carol was in for at least 30 minutes when finally, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Blurry looked behind himself with tear-filled eyes to see his old father, his pale and old skin wore an expression that Blurry didn't understand while his soul-less black eyes said something that Blurry couldn't hear. The 8 year old then saw his mother, her silky black hair swaying from side to side as she came towards her only son. Her fair skin and pearl white eyes looked sad. Very sad.

"Mother...Father…" Blurry tried to talk. "What's...What's gonna happen to Carol?" The child asked.

"My son…" Father Time spoke first. "Carol is very sick. It is definitely a miracle she lasted this long as a child."

"She's...sick?" Blurry repeated, earning a nod from his father. "But...She'll get better right? People always get over being sick...right?"

"Not always, sweetie." Mother Space chimed in as she knelt down to his level. "Conroy, my baby, Carol...isn't going to get better." She broke the truth to her son, and he felt his heart drop into the pit of his stomach.

"But...But we can cure her!" Blurry protested. "Father! Use your Time Magic! Make Carol well again!" Blurry begged. "I'll work harder in my studies, I won't skip practice as much anymore! Please, Father! Save Carol!" Tears sprung from Blurry's eyes as he cried like he never cried before. When he looked at his father, though, Father Time just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Conroy." Father Time said. "I can't save her. If I did, I'd be reversing time itself, and that is against the Rules of Time."

"But...But-"

"I'll call Carol's parents right now." Father Time interrupted his own son. "I'm going to tell them what happened and tell them to meet us at the hospital." Before Blurry could protest, Father Time walked away down the hall. Blurry felt more tears falling from his eyes. He began to cry again as Mother Space hugged him. Blurry cried were getting louder and more depressing with every passing second that Carol's life was fading.

Later that evening, at the hospital, Carol's parents and Blurry's parents, and with Blurry himself, were waiting for the results of what was going on in the ER. Blurry didn't stop looking at the red light over the doorway, and when the light flashed off, the doctor walked out. The adults and the young boy looked at the old doctor, hoping that he was going to give them all good news. But what they all feared most came true.

The doctor spoke, sadly, "I'm sorry...But Carol Lucet, just passed away."

Blurry's arms were shaking as tears were forming in his eyes. The teacup in his hands was shaking as well, growing more violent with every passing second until Blurry threw the cup full of tea down onto the floor, screaming out in anger. The pieces of the teacup scattered across the floor of the room as Blurry breathed heavily. The tears from his eyes began rolling down his cheeks. The phone the rang. Blurry looked over to where the old telephone was and wiped his face. Coming over, Blurry picked up the phone and answered, "H-Hello?"

"Blurry! Oh thank goodness you're still up! Ah!" Merlin screamed, startling Blurry a bit.

"...Merlin? Everything OK?"

"Hades' forces are closing in! I haven't much time! Genie fill you in!" Merlin quickly said.

"Ge-Genie? Who's Genie-Wait are we talking about Robin Williams-" Blurry didn't get an answer, but instead, he was teleported out of Merlin's tower and into some Arabian Palace. The teenager looked around until he saw a blue genie floating around the room. It looked like he was pacing.

"Um...Excuse me?" Blurry started out. Genie suddenly looked and saw the teenager.

"Oh! You're Blurry Temputus! Merlin explained everything to me about you. So fasten your seatbelts-" Genie the suddenly grabbed millions of seatbelts from out of nowhere and put them around himself. "-and I'll bring you up to speed!" The blue man the shot up like a rocket into the air. But then returned in front of Blurry, now wearing a blue show-suit.

"Hades and Gentlemen…" Genie said, talking into the microphone he had. "...Welcome to the Underworld Players presentation of...That Villain, Jafar, has Returned, and He's really, really Mad."

"Appropriate title…" Blurry said. Then there was puff of red smoke and Genie reappeared with two hand-puppets of a strange red genie and Hades. "Oh look, a lamp!" Genie spoke for the Hades puppet. "Hey, I'm Jafar, evil genie here. And I'll grant you…"

"...Three wishes, that's correct." Jafar said. "You may want to start wishing that we had never crossed paths."

Hades thought for a second before speaking, "Hm, no. I already got my wish list, thank you! One, take over this land. Two, finding the missing Crystal Piece. And three, capture Merlin and the brat. Oh, right! Introductions…" Hades shook Jafar's hand. "Name's Prince Azure, but you can call me...Master." He chuckled.

"And...Curtain!" Genie called as the curtain closed on the scene. Blurry walked up to Genie as he shoved at newspaper in Blurry's face that read: "GENIE TIMES: JAFAR FREE AGAIN!".

"This is really bad…" Blurry mumbled.

"No doubt it is, kid." Genie said. "Jafar already controls this part of the land, and has the crystal piece. And I can't get in contact with Merlin at all!"

"Never mind...This is SUPER bad!" Blurry said, throwing away the newspaper. Just then, Blurry and Genie heard someone talking-actually, more complaining. The two of them decided to follow the source of the voice and soon, the duo ended up in Jafar's old secret room. There, they saw a certain red parrot, rummaging through his cage for something. Suddenly, the bird pulled out a diamond ring and wore it.

"Ah...Mystic Blue Diamond rings go with everything." Iago said to himself, not aware that Genie or Blurry were watching him. "Especially with plans to trap Mr. Goody-Blue-Shoes in the cave of Wonders, where we hid that stupid crystal!"

"Thanks for the tip, Polly." Iago then looked and saw Blurry and Genie had come out of hiding and were about to confront the red parrot.

"OK, now ya see, that's not fair. With all the sneaking up and all that. I was NOT excepting that." Iago complained.

"Give us the ring, Iago!" Blurry demanded. But instead of giving the ring to Blurry, Iago attacked the teen with his talons before flying off and out of the palace.

"Blurry!" Genie hurried to Blurry's side. "You alright?!"

"Yeah...Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go after him!" Blurry said. Genie quickly picked up Blurry and transformed into a jet plane and zoomed after the red parrot into the desert. Genie quickly stopped mid-flight when they arrived at the Cave of Wonders. Only to see Hades, AKA Prince Azure and Genie Jafar, blocking the entrance.

"The wizard Merlin is...elusive, master." Jafar informed Hades.

"And so is your freedom. Until you CATCH him and the brat." Hades reminded. "I mean, seriously, whatever happened to Your wish, is my command? And jeez louise, your clothes? How 'bout you put a shirt on or something? Come on?" Hades said, before teleporting away. Just then Jafar transformed back into his human form. Blurry took this chance come of hiding and got his metal arrows ready. Genie tried to stop the teen, but it was too late. Blurry already exposed himself to Jafar.

"Game's over!" Blurry shouted, earning Jafar's attention. Giving his arrow a magic power-up, Blurry fired at Jafar landing 3 direct hits causing small explosions. Blurry stood there putting his leftover arrows and bow away.

"Who's so powerful now?!" Blurry questioned. Jafar's laughed echoed around Blurry as the evil genie reformed in front of the teenager.

"Why I believe it's me, young man." Jafar said, and then music started playing, and that made Blurry know about what was going to happen next.

"...Ah shit." Blurry cursed.

"I must admit, your parlor tricks are amusing." Jafar sang, zapping Blurry and the young boy was now wearing a magician's outfit. "I bet you've got a bunny under your hat!" Jafar, now large, picked up Blurry's hat and millions of bunnies fell on top of him. Jafar then snapped his fingers and shuffled Blurry into a deck of cards.

"Now here's your chance to get the best of me, hope your hand is hot! Come on, boy! Let's see what you've got!" Jafar sent the cards flying, releasing Blurry. The boy stood back up and summoned his Space Bow and fired some arrows at Jafar but they just bounced off him.

"You've tried to slam me with your hardest stuff! But your double-whammy isn't up to snuff! I'll set the record straight, you're simply not in date-" Jafar grabbed Blurry and spun him around, making him dizzy. "-You're only Second Rate!" Blurry had enough of this, so he sent a huge blast of space magic at Jafar. But the evil genie was one step ahead and dodged the attack, transforming into a ring leader, Jafar covered the hoop over Blurry, making him smaller.

"You think you're a cat's a meanie, but your tiger's tamed! You've got a lot to learn about the Magic game! So for your education, I reiterate-" Blurry turned back to normal size but fell down a hole and screamed as Jafar continued to sing, "-You're only Second Rate!" Blurry opened his eyes and saw that he was literally in the palm of Jafar's hand.

"Men cower at the power in my pinky!" Blurry backed away but ran into Jafar's thumb.

"My thumb is number one on every list!" The thumb then transformed into Jafar, in his red genie form.

"But if you're not convinced that I'm invincible, put me to the test!" Blurry hesitated at that challenge.

"I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!" Jafar grabbed Blurry and dug a hole for him with a headstone and threw Blurry inside. Luckily, Blurry got out and fired an arrow, enchanted with Time Magic, at Jafar, freezing him at the spot.

"Go ahead and zap me with the big surprise! Slap me in a trap, cut me down to size!" Blurry was about to attack Jafar in his frozen state but was shocked to see Jafar turn into a birthday cake and burst out of the top of it.

"I'll make a great escape; it's just a piece of cake-" Jafar then grabbed Blurry again and spun him around faster. "You're only Second Rate! You know your hocus pocus isn't tough enough, and you mumbo jumbo doesn't measure up! Let me pontificate upon your sorry state-" Jafar stopped Blurry's spinning with one finger and turned him to face the sorcerer. "-You're only Second Rate!"

Blurry squirmed out of Jafar's grasp and ran away but was stopped and when Jafar appeared right him in a cloud of red smoke.

"Zaba-caba-dabra!"

Blurry ran the opposite direction but was stopped again when he saw an old woman in his way. He grabbed the lady's shoulder, but it was a trick because it turned out Jafar in a grandma outfit, which Blurry found very creepy and scary.

"Granny's gonna grab ya!"

Blurry ran away, wishing he had super speed or something! He could still hear Jafar's voice behind him.

"Alakazam-da-mus, and this thing's bigger than the both of us! So spare me your tremendous scare, your look horrendous in your underwear!" Blurry looked down and saw that his pants were gone and only his boxers were covering his lower body. He blushed madly. But luckily, his pants returned, but Jafar grabbed Blurry and began to juggle him around.

"And I can hardly wait to discombobulate! I'll send ya back and packing in a shipping crate! You'll make a better living with a spinning plate-" Jafar threw Blurry in a wooden box and threw him a plate with a stick. Blurry looked up at the sorcerer with eyes full of worry.

"-You're only Second Rate!" Jafar slammed the lid closed, leaving Blurry in there, alone.

"...Again...SHIT!" Blurry cursed louder this time.
