The city of Agraba appeared more awake upon this very night then it ever had in the past. For it was at the is time of the night, the people were asleep in their homes and the streets were empty. But it was late upon this very night, one of great tragedy, the streets were crowd with people. The people themselves appeared to be wielding torches and any sort of sharp objects. All while others remained sheltered within their homes. With much fear and dismay in their expressions.

Though despite that, Aria and Raksha wondering along through the streets. Under the cover of the crowd itself and some cloaks they had gotten to keep them from being noticed. Raksha paused for a moment, peering ahead through the crowd. She then glanced back at her sister.

"Stay close, Aria." Raksha whispered to her.

Aria nodded her head to her sister. The two then continued to move through the crowd as they made their way to the secret Hovel. The very place their mother had showed them and told them to go if anything were to happen. Where they would be able to hide from Jafar. All with the hope that Jasmine would be there waiting for them.

Princess Aria glanced back at a small group of appearing as though they were talking. She had hoped the people had heard the news of Jafar taking over the palace. Only to hear one of them bring up there was a tiger in the city.

"Did you see where the tiger had gone." One of the men said.

Another shook their head.

"I saw it run off that way. It must have escaped to the jungle." he proclaimed.

"The Tiger has claimed the Princess. We must find her at once!" They insisted to them.

The mention of princess caused Aria to pause, glancing back with a look of shock and dismay.

"Princess..." she said.

Raksha turned back to her sister, seeing that she had stopped.

"Aria?" she asked.

Aria turned forward to her sister with a look of shock and awe. Only to quickly gather herself, shaking her head as she followed after her sister.


The two entered into an alleyway. Quickly slipping out from being noticed by any of the people, who were still preoccupied with the news of the tiger lurking in the city. Raksha quickly rushed over, pushing aside several crates and planks of wood to reveal a secret entrance.

"Come, hurry!" Raksha said before disappearing through the entrance to the passage.

Aria took once last look back behind them before following her sister into the hole. Before concealing it away before anyone spotted them.


The two princesses climbed up the stairway into the hovel. Only to find that it was just how they had left it before. It had been many years since they has last visited this place. Often coming here as children whenever they wished to leave the Palace. Which could only mean it had not yet been discovered by anyone else.

Though having expected their older sister to be there as well, the two sister paused.

"Jasmine?" Raksha said, glancing around.

"Jasmine? Jasmine?"

Aria shook her head, turning to her sister.

"Raksha... I don't think she's..." Aria said, glancing up at her sister.

Raksha only paused, worryingly.

"No... she has to be here... She has to..." She said in denial.

If Jasmine wasn't here in the hovel, it could only mean she must still back in the palace. Raksha quickly rushed over to the small blue curtain, brushing it to the side to reveal a majestic view of the city of Agrabah. It was there she gazed ahead at the palace itself. The only home they had ever known and had been casted out by the evil sorcerer, who stole the throne from their father.

She could only hope that her sister had made it out of the palace as they have. If not, she could only presume that Jafar had her imprisoned within the palace dungeon. She frowned.

"Jafar must be keeping her at the palace. We have to go after her." Raksha proclaimed to her.

"Raksha..." Aria said.

Raksha turned back to her sister.

"I don't think that Jasmine isn't at the palace..." Aria proclaimed to her.

Raksha turned to her, curiously.

"What, how do you know?" Raksha asked, curiously.

There was a moments pause on the part of Aria, hesitant to say anything more. To speak of the supposed true she hoped was not so. Something she could no possible imagine was so in this now dark times.

"Aria what's wrong?" She asked, curiously.

Aria glanced up at her sister. Taking one last sigh before revealing to her sister the very truth.

"Raksha... Our sister... was taken by a tiger..." Aria proclaimed to her.

Raksha suddenly felt the world fall away. Left in utter shock and awe at the news that a tiger had taken their sister. Especially after they had taken in Sangha as a cub. She couldn't believe it was true. First their father. And now...

Aria came up next to Raksha, coming to embrace her sister, who in turn held her close to her. Having only each other left in this dark time.

The shock over Raksha's turned to an angered scowl, glancing back to face the palace once more. There could be no doubt in her mind. She knew Jafar was responsible for this. Was the throne not enough for him? What need is there to further destroy their family?

Like her sister before her, she would never allow Jafar to get away with his crimes. She will ensure that the people will know what he has done. He will pay for his crimes against Agrabah.


"That's so sad." Shanti said, hearing the tale being told.

The old man nodded his head as he stroked his long white beard. It was indeed a sad time. Especially for the two princesses, having but lost their family. Banished from the only life they had ever know and to be casted into the cruel world the lied outside the walls of the palace.

"Ah, yes, indeed. It was a sad time for the city of Agrabah." He insisted to the girl.

"There are few who would ever expect that an enemy would come from within."

"But what happened to Jasmine?" Shanti asked, curiously.

"Ah, that is very good question. And that is the next part of our tale." The man insisted to her.


It is now our tale must be taken to the jungle...

The silence of the Jungle were one that the panther, Bagheera had long grown accustomed to. As it was it's peacefulness was the one thing he enjoyed the most. Leaping from one branch to another, high above the trees, the panther paused for a moment. Uttering a sigh of relief as it stared out over the jungle.

Shifting his glance to the nearby birds, chirping from above.

"Well, good morning to you too." The panther greeted them.

The birds in turned chirped to the panther, greeting him as well before flying off. Bagheera leaped to the next tree. It was there the panther stretched out his front legs before laying down over the branch he was one.

"This will service." He said, placing his head over his two front legs.

When suddenly, the silence of the jungle was sudden broken by a... much unwelcoming sound.

"Oh badooba be do, oh badoobada de do!"

Bagheera flinched upon hearing a sudden and yet familiar voice from below. Causing him to raise his head from his front legs, peering down to the jungle floor below. It was there he saw Baloo the bear, dancing and singing from below. Bagheera in turn rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Oh, not that jungle bum." The panther said, shaking his head.

Bumping against a nearby coconut tree, one of the coconuts hanging from above dropped down. Baloo caught it in his paw before bumped it over his head, opening it. It was then Baloo noticed Bagheera laying over the branch above.

"Oh, hey there, Baghie. How's it hanging?" Baloo asked, curiously.

Bagheera growled, shaking his head.

"What have I told you about making that infernal racket?" Bagheera said.

"Ah, lighten up, Baghie." Baloo said, before taking a sip of his coconut.

"Come on down. Enjoy some of the the good old Bare Necessities with me."

"Yes, well some of us like to enjoy the peace and quiet." The panther proclaimed to him.

"Aw, come on, Baghie. Where's the fun in that?" Baloo asked, curiously.

"You got the whole day ahead of you. Who's got time to just nap"

Bagheera groaned, rolling his eyes. He then stood up over the branch before leaped down to the jungle floor.

"Yes, while you off doing your bantering about, I'm off to find another place to nap." The Panther proclaimed before turning and sauntering off.

"Oh come, Baghie. Don't go." Baloo said.

Bagheera simply ignored Baloo and continued on through the jungle foliage. Turning forward with a sigh as he emerged from the foliage along the banks of the river. He then paused, looking on in shock and awe. It was there along the banks of the river, he saw what appeared to be a tigress, laying unconscious over the banks.

"Oh dear! Baloo!" Bagheera called before rushing over to her.

Baloo brushed aside the leaves and palms, emerging into the clearing.

"What?" He asked, glancing up to Bagheera.

It was there he saw the unconscious Tigress, laying over the bank of the river. The Bear gasped in shock before rushing over to them. Bagheera stood next to her, nudging her with his muzzle. Baloo coming up on the opposite side of her.

"Oh no... is she?" Baloo asked, curiously.

A soft moan escaped from the tigress's lips, all but proving that her life remained. Causing Baloo to utter a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness, she's alive." Baloo said, wiping his paw over his forehead.

"Come, we must help her. Can you carry her, Baloo?" Bagheera proclaimed to her.

Baloo nodded his head in agreement.

"You got it, Baghie!" Baloo proclaimed.

Baloo came up and scooped the tigress into his arms. The Tigress in turned uttered a moan, being cradled like a baby within his arms. Baloo couldn't help but find it a bit cute.

"Come, this way." Bagheera said.

Baloo then turned and followed him into the jungle.
