" YOU!" Lien-Da screamed, she grabbed her staff and zap Rouge away form the lamp " THIS TIME YOU WILL..." she was cut off by Shadow grabbing hold of her by the wrist.
" Get the Lamp!" Shadow called to his father. The Sultan saw the object and let Kragok go and ran to the throne.
Lien-Da threw Shadow off " Times up Sultan" she zap her magic at the Sultan and he was placed inside a giant Hourglass.
" DAD!" Shadow cried out. The Sultan was getting sand rain on him.
Kragok got the carpet off of him " stupid thing!" He shouted. Gem saw the lamp lying on the floor and ran after it.
" Don't toy with me " Lien-Da called and zap the Chao turning it onto a stuff toy.
" G..Gem" Rouge called recovering from the hit. She saw Shadow try and get the lamp but Kragok leaped out and held a sword out.
" It's just you and me Prince!" he said. Shadow was alone without weapon. instead he goated the angry echidna male away from the throne.
The carpet swooped in and grab the lamp but Lien-Da zap it with her magic and it became a pile of thread and tassel, the Lamp landed softly on the tangled pile.
" You can't win now deary" the echidna female called. Rouge tried to get the lamp but a wall of Swords prevented her. The bat picked one up and slid it towards Shadow. Now witgh sword in hand he was able to face Kragok farley.
The bat picked up another sword, the weapon did feel heavy but she had at least try.
" Very cute" The evil echidna spoke " you gonna try and save the kingdom, think again little girl"
" I'm not afraid" Rouge recalled " not form a scaredy cat like you!'
" Cat you say?" Lien-Da asked , her eyes changed, her muzzle started to change and whiskers grew, her arms got muscular and her dress turned into red fur, she all started to get larger.
" Who's the scaredy cat now!" she yowled as became a giant Mountain lion, her dread still in tack, she growled as Rouge backed away , her options have ran out!
Rouge ran around the building as the Cougar turned Lien-Da started to hunt her down.
Shadow was doing well and even manage to make Kragok lose his weapon. Shadow took the opportunity to free his father from the hourglass.
" Father" he held his sword out but Kragok tackled the prince to the floor.
" I'm not done yet!" he called.
...
Rouge was hiding behind a pillar, Lien-Da used her sense to sniff out the bat " come out come out my little prey" the giant cat called.
the bat noticed a giant ruby she made her move, she dashed out and used the gemstone as a way to glide across the floor.
" THERE YOU ARE!" Lien-Da bellowed and ran after her, Rouge manage to slide behind the throne. The cougar reached but with her big paws she could grab the bat.
" Well play my dear!" she hissed.
" Get her Lien-Da" Kragok called get her like the rat she.." but Shadow knocked him out with the hilt of the sword.
" That should keep him quiet" he stated, his victory was short when Lienda reached out with her giant paw and dragged him over to her.
" I have you now my Prince" she taunted " and you better come out deary if you ever want to save him"
Rouge saw Shadow's sword on the floor, she came out from her hiding spot grabbed the sword and ran toward the giant feline, taking flight she stabbed her in the paw making her yowl and letting Shadow go.
Rouge watched as Shadow got away to safety, but with a swipe of her paw Shadow was sent flying and hit his head agaist the pillar knocking him out! Rouge tried to fly away but Lienda reached out and pinned her on the floor.
" You Foolish girl!" she hissed " with out the Genie you're nothing!"
That's it! Tikal! Tikal is what gave Lien-Da her power.
" I could say the same to you!" Rouge called out, this made Lien-Da pick her up by the wings.
"Say that again!" she demanded.
" You nothing without Tikal!" Rouge told her " Like how Tikla granted me a life or royalty you nothing without her!"
Lien-Da realised this " your right... her power does ecell my own..." the cougar looked down at the orange Echidna " but not for long" she leaned her face into Tikal's.
" My dearest Genie" she purred. Tikal felt the cougar extract her claw, she held the echidna's chin under her sharp claw " grant me my final wish, I wish to be an all powerful Genie!"
Tikal looked at her in horror but she had to obey and with a zap from her fingers the Cougar transformed again, this time into a giant Echidna " yes!" she called out, Rouge was let go.
Rouge rushed to Shadow side, the prince woke up and together the two rushed over to the giant hour glass and got the Sultan out! The Sultan coughed gasping for air and Shadow help his father up.
the Genie turned Lien-Da broke the rooftop and ascend to the sky. Her genie tail created vortex blowing the three.
" What's going on" The Sultan asked.
" You'll see" Rouge commented.
and on cue a blood red lamp appeared. Rouge smirked and ran over to the Lamp " Hey Lien-Da" she called making the echidna look down.
" You wanted to be a genie.. you got it!" Rouge cried out. the Echidna saw as her arms were bounded by golden shackles.
" What?" She asked but then she felt herself being pulled by an unknown force.
" In your lamp you go Lien-Da" Rouge called picking up the lamp.
" NO!" Lien-Da screamed. Kragok woke up seeing his sister get defeated he decided to retreat, turning into a hawk he prepared to fly off but Lien-Da grabbed him.
" WHERE YOU GOING! " she screamed at the hawk.
" Wait , sister,I don't want to be part of this, let me go" he called out but his cries weren't herd and he along with Lien-Da were pulled into the lamp.
" Enjoy your itty bitty living space" Rouge smirked. Tikal ran up to the bat and hugged her.
" Rouge that was amazing she cried out.
Gem returned back into a normal chao, the Carpet was sewn back together, the magic done by Lien-Da when she was sorceress broke on the two.
The Sultan was returned his normal clothing and the palace was restored in it's rightful spot.
