Everyone stared in absolute shock and horror at Ugo's power…but no one was more horrified than Aladdin, who stared with his mouth agape as a spear of ice, made by the now unconscious and brutally beaten Judar, that had impaled his best friend.

"Dear Solomon alive…!" whispered S Nando in fright.

'Such awesome…yet frightful power,' Sinbad thought.

"Ugo…!" Aladdin whispered, worriedly.

A pause…but then, Ugo staggered towards Judar, who lied limp on the ground, unable to escape. Then…he put his fists together as a red blaze enveloped them.

"Is…is he…?!" Alibaba questioned.

"Great Solomon's rukh!" cried Alozza. "He's gonna kill him!"

"Not good!" Sinbad cried. "EVERYONE, MAKE A RUN FOR IT!"

"Ugo, no!" Aladdin shouted. "Stop! You've done enough! He's already out cold!"

As everyone began to flee, Sinbad looked back nervously.

'That Djinn…he's using Heat Magic!' he thought. 'And it's tremendous!'

Ugo threw his fists down towards Judar, who continued to lie on the ground, out cold, until BOOOOOOM! A massive explosion burst forth, sending everyone and everything flying!

"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!" Aladdin screamed before a pair of arms caught him, cushioning his fall. He looked up to see Morgiana, who held Alibaba, Alozza, Shahra, and multiple Fog Troop members!

"Morg?!" Aladdin questioned.

"Are you all right, Aladdin?" Morgiana asked.

"Y…yeah," Aladdin answered. "I think so. Thanks, Morg! You saved me!"

"Jeez, Morgiana!" Aladdin cried. "How many people did you carry?!"

"Seven, plus one tigress," Morgiana answered, referring to Shahra.

"Wow…" Alibaba muttered before he gasped. "Wait! Where are the rest of the Fog Troop?!"

"Relax," Alozza said. "They're safe, thanks to Sinbad. Thanks to his quick thinking, everyone got away safely…well…almost everyone."

Aladdin gasped, realizing what she meant. He crawled to the edge of the roof and saw Ugo, standing in the middle of a huge crater…but Judar was nowhere to be found. Not long after, the spear of ice that impaled Ugo soon melted away, but more magoi soon started leaking out of him.

"Aladdin…what's going on?" Alibaba asked. "Why is Ugo acting on his own?!"

"I…I don't know!" Aladdin answered. "This has never happened before!"

A pause…but then, Shahra's ears twitched before she whipped her head up to the night sky, growling viciously.

"What's wrong, Shahra?" asked Aladdin.

"My, my," spoke a peculiar voice. "What kind of headless monster is that? Look what he's done to poor little Judar~!"

Everyone gasped before they turned…and saw a group of ominous figures, standing atop a flying carpet. Three them had masks over their faces, two at average height, and one of them practically towering over two others. One of the masked held Judar, whose body was in the worst possible shape imaginable.

A young woman, about Alibaba's age, stood nearby, wearing a long, pink, elaborate robe, and long, dark red hair held up in two loops by a golden butterfly hair pin. Her pink eyes glowered down at everyone coldly.

"Ka Koubun," she said. "Please, heal poor Judar. I cannot allow him to die."

"I am well aware of that, Your Highness," said a tall, golden-eyed man with wavy black short hair that is tied back, wearing bronze-yellow traditional robes, similar to the woman's, had a purple tattoo around his eyes, and a green fan in his hands. "He is important to us, not just as our Magi, but our priest, as well."

"Who the hell are those guys?!" asked one of the Fog Troop.

"Sin…it's them!" Ja'Far whispered.

"I know, Ja'Far," Sinbad said. "No doubt about it…they're from the Kou Empire!"

Under the new party's flying carpet, the insignia of the Kou Empire is seen.

"The Kou Empire?!" Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Alozza questioned.

'And it looks like they're using a powerful Magic Tool,' Sinbad thought. 'They must be important…but who are these people?!'

Just then, Ugo's fists went ablaze again.

"So that monster still wants to fight, does it?" asked the woman. "Very well. I shall oblige."

"Do be careful, Your Highness," said Ka Koubun.

"I'll be fine, Ka Koubun," the woman assured as she pulled her hair pin out of her hair. "You just tend to Judar."

She then held her hair pin before her chest…and Sinbad gasped when he saw a familiar eight-pointed star in the jewel encrusted at the end!

"O Great Spirit of Sorrow and Isolation," the woman chanted, "I beseech thee and thy kin! Feed upon my magoi and grant me great power! COME FORTH, VINEA!"

Just then, a torrent of water came out of the pin, swirling around the woman until it took on the form of a fierce serpent!

"Here I come!" she shouted.

"That one has a Djinn Metal Vessel!" cried Sinbad.

Ugo pushed his legs up off the ground, allowing him to jump towards the woman with his flaming fists.

"Take this, foul beast!" shouted the woman, sending the water serpent at Ugo, but he grabbed it, causing to slowly evaporate into steam!

"Heat Magic?!" the woman questioned. "Well, it's a good thing I put up a water barrier, but it's turning into steam!"

FWASH! The jewel on her Metal Vessel flashed a bright light.

"Why won't you just DIIIIEEEE?!" she questioned as water surrounded the pin until it hardened, giving the pin the form of a huge broadsword with two dragons at the hilt!

"What in the hell is that?!" Alibaba questioned.

"Ugo, look out!" Aladdin cried.

The woman began to spin around, a jet of water coming out of the sword and propelling her toward Ugo, who reeled his fist back…but it was too late.

SHUNK! She went right through him, creating a gaping hole through his chest and back!

"UGOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Aladdin screamed in horror.

Ugo staggered…but then he shrunk back into the flute, which clattered on the ground.

"Hmph!" the woman scoffed as she landed on her feet. "How was that, Ka Koubun?"

"Masterfully done as always, Princess Kougyoku," Ka Koubun answered.

"So, how is Judar?" asked the woman, now known as Kougyoku.

Ka Koubun looked at Judar as water somehow flowed out of his fan.

"I've taken emergency measures," he said, "but I need proper facilities."

"I see," said Kougyoku. "We should go, then."

Just as they were preparing to fly off…a ball of magoi suddenly blitzed passed them, stopping them in their tracks.

"You're not going anywhere!"

"Aladdin, are you crazy?! Get back here!"

Kougyoku turned and gasped upon seeing Aladdin charging at her while riding on his Magic Turban. They dodged, though, before they faced him properly.

"And just who are you, you little brat?!" Kougyoku asked. "I don't think I like the looks of you!"

Aladdin glared at her, seething angrily as a large amount of magoi gathered at the tip of his staff.

"What's with that face?" asked Kougyoku. "We were merely rescuing our comrade from that monster of yours."

"SHUT UP!" Aladdin barked. "Ugo only fought him because he was trying to protect me and everyone else from Judar! HE STARTED IT!"

"Is that right?" Kougyoku inquired. "So what you're saying is…you're that monster's master? And those people are on its side?"

Aladdin gasped silently before he looked down at everyone.

"Uh-oh," Alozza muttered, worriedly. "I don't think I like the sound of that."

"What should we do, Your Highness?" asked Ka Koubun.

"We should clean up this little mess," Kougyoku said. "Enshin! Entai! Engi! Kill them all!"

"Yes, Your Highness," the three masked figures said before they all jumped down at Aladdin, who gasped as he shielded himself…only for them to go right passed him. He paused for a second, but then gasped as he realized…they were going after the others!

"EVERYONE!" Aladdin shouted. "LOOK OUT!"

THOMP-THOMP-THOOOOM! The three figures soon landed before the Fog Troop. However…they had all taken on grotesque forms; one in the form of an elephant with multiple trunks, another in the form a large monkey, and the third in the form of some sort of cat.

"W-what the…?!" Alibaba questioned in shock. "What the hell are those?!"

"Just leave the boy to me," said Kougyoku. "You three, take out that trash!"

With that being said, the three monsters soon went on the attack!

"RUN FOR IT!" Alozza shouted, and soon, everyone bolted!

"AAAAAAAAAGH!" screamed one of the Fog Troop members as the elephant monster, Entai, grabbed him, as well as several others. "SOMEONE HELP ME!"

RAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWRR! Shahra roared as she lunged at the beast, biting down on and clawing one of his trunks, causing him to roar in pain before he easily grabbed her with another trunk and threw her into a wall!

"Shahra!" Alibaba cried.

Soon, Entai charged at other Fog Troop members, preparing to trample them to death.

"Not so fast!"

GRAB! Masrur stepped in between, holding Entai back with just one hand!

"Good job, Masrur!" Sinbad exclaimed, but then he gasped when he saw the male Fanalis starting to struggle, forcing Masrur to use both hands to keep his grip. As the two grappled, the roof began to crack from their force of the strength!

'He can even match Masrur in a test of strength?!' Sinbad thought. 'That must mean…'

"SIN, WATCH OUT!" Ja'Far shouted.

Sinbad turned and gasped upon seeing a bunch of monkeys wearing veils, dashing towards him, but then Alozza and Morgiana stood before them, the former trying to cut them with her sword while the latter tried to kick them away.

"What the hell are these things?!" Alozza questioned as she and Morgiana kept getting tackled.

"They're too fast!" Morgiana shouted. "I can't defend myself against them!"

Just then, a bunch of red ropes appeared out of nowhere and tangled the primates.

"Ja'Far!" Alozza exclaimed.

"Miss Alozza! Morgiana!" Ja'Far exclaimed. "There are too many! We must work together to protect everybody!"

"Understood!" Morgiana replied.

"Uh…guys?" Alozza asked as she looked up. "What do we about THAT?!"

The three looked up to see an even larger monkey: the one known as Enshin.

Meanwhile, Alibaba tried to defend himself against the last one, Engi.

"Everybody, stay behind me!" shouted Alibaba to the rest of the Fog Troop.

Then, KLANG! He barely managed to block Engi's blade with his knife and parry his strikes!

"Ahh…you handle your blade quite well," said Engi, holding his sword up. "Shall we duel?"

Alibaba panted heavily, sweat beading down his face.

'This guy…is really tough!' he thought.

With Aladdin, he is now on solid ground, about to face off with Kougyoku.

"It seem everyone is having fun, wouldn't you say, little boy?" she asked, listening to the sounds of panicked screams. "Now then, I can get down to business."

Suddenly, more water started to envelop her body…which slowly started to transform!

"What the-?!" Aladdin questioned. "What's she doing?! Her body…it's changing!"

"O Great Spirit of Sorrow and Isolation," Kougyoku chanted, "I beseech thee and thy kin…feed upon my magoi and embody me! COME FORTH-"

Before she could finish, a bandaged hand reached out and grabbed her arm!

"STOP THIS, AT ONCE!"

"What?!" Kougyoku questioned. "Who do you think you are?! Let go of me!"

As Kougyoku struggled…her body slowly returned to normal.

'What's happening?!' she thought. 'My Djinn Equip…it's fading!'

Soon, she fell to her knees, and her sword returned to the form of a regular golden hair pin.

"I can see that you are a princess of the Kou Empire," said a familiar voice.

Kougyoku seethed before she looked up.

"Just who do you think you are?!" she asked…looking up to see Sinbad's face.

"I am Sinbad," he said. "King of Sindria."

The moment their eyes made contact…Kougyoku's once cold eyes went wide…and her face flushed a light tint of red.

"K…K-King…Sinbad…?!" she whispered.

"That's right," Sinbad answered.

Kougyoku just stood there, her heart racing a million times a minute and her face as red as a tomato.

'What's going on?' she thought. 'My heart…it keeps skipping a beat! My body feels so warm!'

She then gasped as she tried to pull her hand.

"R-release me, at once!" Kougyoku shouted. "Let go!"

"Forgive me," Sinbad said as he let go, "but I had to stop you. It is very improper for those of our status to quarrel like this in public, wouldn't you agree?"

"Huh?!" Kougyoku questioned in surprise, still blushing. "W-well, yes! I mean, no- I mean…rrrgh!" She then pointed an accusing finger at Aladdin, who had picked up his flute. "But…the boy! He-"

"Aladdin, please put your staff away," Sinbad told the boy.

"But…but-" Aladdin argued.

"I said put it away!" Sinbad ordered. "I understand you're worried, but that doesn't give you a reason to act so violently! I assure you, your friend is still alive. An attack of that level won't kill a Djinn so easily."

A pause…but then Aladdin growled angrily before he threw his staff down and stormed off in a huff. As he did…tears of anger and frustration formed in his eyes as he gripped his flute tightly. He looked down at it…and he saw the eight-point star on its base had disappeared.

"Please forgive him," Sinbad said. "He's just a bit upset, right now, that's all. That 'monster' you attacked was actually his Djinn and dear friend."

"Oh…I-I see," Kougyoku said, covering her face with her sleeves.

"At any rate," Sinbad began, "I am staying here, conducting the business of my country. If you are, too, then please meet me at a more appropriate."

"…Very well," the Kou Princess said. "Everyone! We're leaving!"

"Huh!?" Ka Koubun questioned. "But, Your Highness-"

"Enough," Kougyoku interjected. "We're done for today."

She then pointed at Sinbad, still trying to hide her blushing face.

"But listen here, my good King Sinbad!" she exclaimed. "I'm not leaving because you told me to! I'm just really bored now, that's all!"

And with that, Kougyoku and her party got on their flying carpet and flew away, to everyone's relief.

"They're gone…they're finally gone…" said one of the Fog Troop.

"We're safe!" exclaimed another.

"Hey!" Alozza shouted. "No time for talk! See to the injured!"

"Yes, ma'am!" the Fog Troop exclaimed before they ran off in different directions.

Alozza then looked in the direction where Aladdin went off to before she followed him, a look of worry etched on her face.

Later on, the Fog Troop is busy, tending to their injured members, being helped by Sinbad, Masrur, and Ja'Far.

"You okay? That's one nasty looking wound you got there!"

"Hey! We need water over here!"

"And some more bandages!"

"Sin!" Ja'Far called as he approached him.

"How is everyone, Ja'Far?" Sinbad asked.

"Many are injured," Ja'Far answered. "However, luckily, no one was killed."

"Good," Sinbad said. "We must treat everyone and regroup."

"Umm…"

The two turned to see Morgiana, holding a bundle of blankets.

"I gathered some blankets and passed out water," she said, almost tentatively.

"Thank you, Morgiana," said Sinbad. "You should rest, now."

"No," said Morgiana. "I'll carry those who are severely injured inside."

Soon, she began to gather up those who had been hurt the worst in the fight, asking if they were all right before proceeding to take them inside.

"Morgiana is as very courageous and kind soul," Sinbad mused, smiling.

"Yes, indeed," Ja'Far concurred. "She always considers others and works so hard."

As Morgiana proceeded to help the injured…she thought about what happened to Aladdin and Alibaba during the fight.

'How frustrating,' she thought. 'In the end, I couldn't help anybody! Before I return to my homeland…I must find a way to help Aladdin and Alibaba!'

XXX

NOK-NOK-NOK! Alozza is seen, wrapping her fist against a door with a worried Shahra standing beside her.

"Aladdin, come out of there!" she called. "If you're not gonna come out, at least let me in!"

"No! Go away!" shouted Aladdin from the other side of the door.

Alozza sighed, exasperated. Ever since the aftermath of the fight, Aladdin had locked himself in his room, too worried about Ugo to think about anything or anyone else.

'The poor kid,' she thought. 'I understand what it's like to stand and watch while someone you care about probably gets killed right in front of your eyes.'

As she said this, a brief flashback showed her, gasping in horror as a man stood before her protectively, only to be stabbed through the chest by the blade of a sword. She shuddered before she walked away while Shahra sat near the door, hoping the young Magi would decided to come out soon.

XXX

Meanwhile, in Alibaba's room, he is seething in pain as he held a severe wound on his stomach from when Judar hit him.

"Dammit to hell…!" he cursed. "Agh…!"

He then though back to the events from earlier.

'Shit…what am I doing?' he asked, mentally. 'Aladdin and the Fog Troop were in danger, but I was completely useless! What good is having a Djinn Metal Vessel…if I'm no good in a fight?! I'm pathetic!'

Just then, he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," he said, and soon, Alozza and Morgiana entered.

"You okay in here?" Alozza asked.

"What do you think?" Alibaba asked. "I'm covered in wounds, all over."

"Hang on," Morgiana said as she sat next to him. "Let us help you."

"Thanks," Alibaba said.

Soon, Alozza and Morgiana got the prince's wounds cleaned and dressed.

"There," Alozza said. "That's better."

"…Where's Aladdin?" Alibaba asked. "Still locked up in his room?"

Alozza sighed and nodded her head.

"He's still pretty frustrated," she said. "I tried to get him to come out, but he just kept telling me to go away."

"I don't blame him," Morgiana said. "I'm sure he's afraid that Ugo might've been killed."

"…Poor kid," Alibaba said. "Ugo's not just some Djinn to him…he's his friend. I can't imagine what he's going through, right now."

"I'm sure he'll be fine…hopefully," Alozza assured. "Anyway, we better go see to the rest of the wounded."

"Right," Alibaba agreed. "Let's go. We'll worry about Aladdin later."

XXX

In Aladdin's room, the boy is lying in bed, under the blankets as he stared at his flute, which sits upon a nightstand.

'Ugo…' he thought. 'What am I gonna do if something happens to you?'

Flashback

Sheba hummed a bit to herself as she came outside with a basket full of sheets, preparing to do the laundry, but as she turned around, she gasped upon seeing a huge castle of sand behind her with a 7-year-old Aladdin standing on top of it and Ugo, who had his head back then, standing beside it.

"Mother, look!" Aladdin called. "We made a sandcastle!"

Sheba was about to scold Aladdin and tell him to get down, but she stopped when she saw Ugo smiling warmly at her son, who giggled as the Djinn held up his finger to him, allowing the boy to high-five it. She couldn't smile at the cute scene of the gentle giant, playing with her little boy.

XXX

FWUMP! Aladdin fell to the ground, covered in scratches and bruises as a bunch of shadows loomed over him. The boy looked up to see a group of older boys, glowering down at him with smug grins.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?!" Aladdin asked.

"Because you're weird, that's why!" said one of the boys. "What is this stupid talk about little glowing birds?!"

"Don't talk about the rukh that way!" Aladdin said. "You're just jealous because you can't see them!"

WHAK! One of the boys hit poor Aladdin with a stick.

"Ow!" the blue-haired child cried.

"That's it," said the leader. "We're gonna teach you a little lesson, Aladdin!"

But then, heavy footfalls soon silenced the bully as a gigantic shadow loomed over him and his gang. They turned, only to gasp upon seeing Ugo, glaring at them while crossing his arms.

"Ah…Ahhh…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" the leader screamed before he and his lackeys scurried away. "MOMMY~!"

Aladdin laughed as he watched bullies flee.

"Are you all right, Aladdin?" Ugo asked, lowering his hand down to allow the boy to climb into his palm.

"I am now," Aladdin answered. "Thanks, Ugo. Now let's go home. I'm hungry."

XXX

Ugo is sitting in the backyard, watching the sky and smiling warmly to himself as he basked in the light of the sun.

"Hey, Ugo!"

Ugo turned to look at Aladdin, who walked up to him, holding a book.

"Yes, Aladdin?" he asked.

"I found this book this man dropped in town earlier," Aladdin said before he opened it up and showed the contents to Ugo. "What do these pictures mean?"

PLURT! A practical cascade of blood came squirting out of Ugo's nose as his entire body flushed pink. Soon after, he fell down with a colossal THUD!

"AAAAH! UGO!" Aladdin screamed. "WHAT HAPPENED?! ARE YOU OKAY?!"

"What's going on out here?" Sheba asked as she came outside.

"Mother! Ugo fainted!"

"What?! Why?! What happened?!"

"I-I only showed him this picture book! See?"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ALADDIN JEHOAHAZ ABRAHAM, WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?!"

XXX

"Huh? What do you mean you're leaving?!"

Ugo is sitting in front of Aladdin, who looked up at him sadly.

"I'm sorry, Aladdin," Ugo said. "I've had a very wonderful time with you for the past few weeks…but there's someplace I have to be and I've been away for far too long."

Aladdin looked down, feeling dejected, but then Ugo gently cupped his chin with his giant index finger, causing the boy to look up at the smiling Djinn.

"I'll still be here," Ugo said. "You just…won't see my face as much."

"You promise?" Aladdin asked.

"I promise," Ugo answered, causing Aladdin to smile.

"Well…okay, Ugo," he said. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too, Aladdin," Ugo said…before his whole body shrank down and entered the child's flute. Sheba walked up to Aladdin, gently putting her arms around him.

"It's okay, Aladdin," Sheba said. "Ugo's not really gone…it's just…well…it's a bit complicated. He'll still be with you. You just have to blow the flute whenever you need him."

"I understand, Mother," Aladdin said, holding the flute in his hand.

Flashback end

Aladdin still lied in bed, staring at his flute before he screwed his eyes shut, trying to keep his tears from escaping…but it was all for naught. He sniffled and chewed his lip as he buried his face in his pillow, letting out muffled sobs.

"Ugo…!"

XXX

Outside, everyone is still tending to the injured.

"Well, now what?" asked Alozza.

"Ja'Far have you contacted Sindria?" Sinbad asked.

"Yes," Ja'Far answered. "Support will arrive in one week."

"One week, eh?" Sinbad asked. "We must revise our strategy. I'm concerned about the Kou Empire."

While they were talking, the SML Nando Brothers stood in the crowd, eyeing Sinbad worriedly.

"Brother," M Nando whispered. "The tide has turned. Perhaps it's time for us to take our leave."

"Yeah," S Nando agreed.

"Boss!" cried one of the Fog Troop. "Boss Alibaba!"

"What are we gonna do, now?!" asked another. "What about the Fog Troop and the backstreets?!"

Alibaba froze and chewed his lip, trying to find whatever words to say to the Fog Troop, but alas, his confidence was gone.

"It's gonna be all right!" Sinbad exclaimed. "Calm down! I told you I'd handle this, didn't I? Help from Sindria is on the way, so be ready for action when the time comes!"

Hearing that caused the Fog Troop to smile and nodded their heads in agreement.

"Now go and keep tending to the injured!" Sinbad ordered, and they did just that. Alibaba, however, just growled as he clenched his fist in frustration.

"Alibaba?" Alozza asked in concern. "You okay?"

"I'm just fine," Alibaba said, but then Alozza grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to look at her.

"Alibaba," she said, sternly. "Tell me the truth."

A pause…but then Alibaba yelled out in frustration.

"I'm pathetic, all right?!" he asked. "Dammit, I'm useless in a fight! I can't talk to Abhmad! I can't even give a good speech and rally up the Fog Troop in times of crisis! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG!"

Alozza just stared at him, worriedly.

"If Cassim were here, he could've held everyone together!" Alibaba shouted. "Only Solomon where he, Hassan, and Zaynab went!"

He then sighed as he sat down, holding his head.

"I…I just don't know what to do!" he said, his voice breaking. "Dammit, I…I just don't know!"

Alozza sat beside him, patting his back.

"I'm sorry, Alibaba," she said. "I know things are hard right now…but hey! Chin up! I'm sure, one day, you'll be able to get your moment! Just wait and see!"

Alibaba sniffled as he looked at Alozza.

"You…you really think so, Alozza?" he asked.

"Think so?" Alozza repeated. "I know so!"

Hearing that caused Alibaba to smile a bit.

"Thanks," he said.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! BOSS ALIBABA! COME QUICK!"

"What is it?!" Alibaba questioned as several Fog Troop members ran up to him in a panic.

"We got a big problem!" cried one of them. "It's the military! They're here!"

"WHAT?!" Alibaba questioned in shock.

"Oh, no!" Alozza cried. "W-where are they?!"

"They're outside the hideout!" said another Fog Troop member. "It must be an all-out attack!"

"I knew it! I just knew it!" cried another in despair. "We're doomed!"

"Calm down!" Alibaba said. "Let me go look!"

Alibaba went to the gate to the hideout…only to gasp upon seeing just five soldiers, lead by a taller, older man with shaggy sideburns and a long ponytail.

"B…Balkirk?!" Alibaba questioned in shock.

"You know that guy?" Alozza asked.

"Yeah," Alibaba answered. "That's Balkirk, the General of the Right in the Balbadd Army. He's the one who taught me Balbadd Royal Swordplay!"

Behind Balkirk and his men is a horse-drawn carriage, which stopped in the middle of the backstreets. Soon after…Sabhmad exited the carriage, being helped by two guards.

"Huh?" Alibaba muttered. "What's Sabhmad doing here?!"

Until Next Night…

Yeah, I decided not to have Aladdin fall unconscious, but don't worry. He'll still get Solomon's Wisdom. Also, to Gadget boy, I also decided not to have Morgiana walk in on Alibaba "checking his wounds".

Another note...I ship SinbadXKougyoku.

Review, please!
