Chapter 7:

Traverse Town:

Sora, Donald, and Goofy took a break in Traverse Town where they met Merlin. "I can't believe I'm meeting the Merlin," says Donald.

"Listen, I have information for you," says Merlin, "have you found strange locks?"

"Yeah," says Sora.

"If you use the Keyblade, you can lock those locks, keeping the Heartless out of those worlds," says Merlin.

"Good, I was worried they'd come back for those worlds," says Goofy.

"There is more! I am Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, but you can call me... Asha."

"What is it, Asha," asks Sora.

"Cinderella has been taken," says Asha, "I believe it might be the same reason Alice has!"

"That is big," says Sora, "we'll see what we can do!"

...

They walk out and find Riku! "Riku," asks Sora, "Riku! I'm not dreaming this time, right?"

"I hope not," says Riku, "took me forever to find you."

...

The four then start walking together. "Wait, where's Kairi," asks Sora.

"Isn't she with you," asks Riku. Sora looks down. "Well, don't worry, I'm sure she made it off the island, too. We're finally free. Hey, she might even be looking for us now. We'll all be together again soon. Don't worry. Just leave everything to me. I know this-" Sora takes out a heartless while he was talking.

"Leave it to who," asks Sora.

"Sora, what did you-"

"I've been looking for you and Kairi too," says Sora, "with their help."

"Who are they," asks Riku.

"My name is-" Donald begins.

"We've visited so many worlds," says Sora, "looking for you."

"Really," asks Riku, "well, what do you know? I never would've guessed."

"Oh, and guess what," says Goofy, "Sora's the Keyblade Master!"

"Who would've thought it," asks Donald.

"What's that mean," asks Sora, "and I mean it, what did you say?"

"So, this is called a keyblade," asks Riku, taking it.

"Hey give it back," says Sora. Riku then throws it back to him. "Okay, so you're coming with us, right? We've got this awesome rocket. Wait 'til you see it!"

"No, he can't come," says Donald.

"I think I can guess that one," says Sora, "and he's, my friend!"

"He's gone," says Goofy. Riku disappeared.

"Nice going," says Sora, "oh well. At least he's okay. And who knows? Maybe we'll run into Kairi soon, too."

Hollow Bastion:

"You see," says Maleficent, "just as I told you. While you toiled away, trying to find your dear friend, he quite simply replaced you with some new companions. Evidently, now he values them far more than he does you. You're better off without that wretched boy. Now, think no more of him, and come with me. I'll help you find what you're searcing for..."

Agrabah:

Maleficent and Jafar were walking. "And the keyhole," asks Maleficent.

"The Heartless are searching for it now," says Jafar, "I'm certain we'll find it soon enough. So that just leaves..."

Iago then appears. "Jafar," says Iago, "I've looked everywhere for Jasmine. She disappeared like magic!"

"The girl is more trouble than she's worth," says Jafar.

"You said you had things under control," says Maleficent.

"Agrabah is full of holes for rats to hide in," says Jafar, "but why worry about Princess Jasmine? With her or without her, surely this world will be ours when we find the Keyhole."

"We need all seven princesses of heart to open the final door," says Maleficent, "any fewer is useless."

"Well, if the princess is that important, we'll find her," says Jafar. Jafar then summons his Heartless. "Find Jasmine and bring her to me at once."

"Don't steep yourself in darkness too long," says Maleficent, "the Heartless consume the careless."

"Your concern is very touching, but hardly necessary," says Jafar.

Jasmine was secretly listening.

...

Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive in Agrabah and start fighting some Heartless. Then they find someone hiding. "Who's there," asks Jasmine, "hello? I'm Jasmine. My Father is the Sultan of Agrabah."

"Uh... so that makes you a princess," asks Sora.

"Yes," says Jasmine, "but he has been deposed by Jafar, who now controls the city."

"Jafar," asks Sora.

"You haven't heard of him," asks Jasmine, "he's the royal vizier. He's gained evil powers and seized Agrabah. He's desperately looking for something... a keyhole! He caught me trying to escape, but then Aladdin helped me!"

"Aladdin," asks Jafar appearing, "where might I find this street rat?" They all look and see Jafar. "Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear princess. These little rats won't do you see."

"Jasmine, run," says Sora.

Jasmine runs while Sora, Donald, and Goofy are ready to fight.

"Ah, the boy who holds the key," says Jafar. Jafar's Heartless appear. Sora, Donald, and Goofy fight them while Jafar leaves.

...

After that fight, Sora, Donald, and Goofy managed to get away. "Let's go," says Sora.

...

Sora, Donald, and Goofy then find Aladdin's house. "Nice place," says Goofy.

"I like the view," says Donald.

The three then find a living carpet. It then flew off to the desert. Sora, Donald, and Goofy then follow it.

...

In the palace, Jafar was sitting in the throne. "I'm hungry now," says Jafar, "slave!"

Razoul comes with the food. "I hate you," says Razoul.

"Try that again," says Jafar.

"Right, sorry," says Razoul, "I hate you, your majesty!"

"That's better," says Jafar.

"When I get my hands on that Hakim for secretly helping this guy," says Razoul.

"Entertainer," says Jafar.

The Sultan was forced to be a jester. "You will pay for this," says the Sultan.

"What was that," asks Jafar.

"Oh, sorry, you will pay for this, your majesty!"

"That's better," says Jafar.

...

Sora, Donald, and Goofy then fly the carpet. They then see Aladdin and Abu sinking in the sand. "Come on," says Sora. They then go down, but the Heartless came. When Aladdin comes out, he gets out a lamp and rubs it.

"Genie, get rid of these guys," says Aladdin.

"Wish number one coming right up," says Genie. He then gets rid of the Heartless.

"Wow, you really do come in handy," says Aladdin.

"Of course," says Genie.

Genie: Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves

Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales

But, master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves

You got a brand of magic never fails

You got some power in your corner now

Some heavy ammunition in your camp

Friend

Ya-ha-ha

Wah-ha-ha

You ain't never had a friend like me!

...

They then all have a talk. "I see," says Aladdin, "thanks, Sora."

"Aladdin, what are you doing out here," asks Sora.

"Same old stuff," says Aladdin, "hunting legendary treasure. Just paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders. I found that magic carpet and this lamp. Legend has it that whoever holds the lamp can summon the-"

"Please, Kid, leave the introductions to a professional. The one and only GENIE OF THE LAMP! Rub-a-dub-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes granted. Today's winner is... Aladdin! Congratulations!"

"Any wish," asks Donald.

"Patience, my fine feathered friend," says Genie, "any three wishes!"

"Wait, you can understand him," asks Sora.

There's a pause. "Can't you," asks Genie, "anyway, after three wishes, I make like a banana and split! Our lucky winner made his first wish and let me tell you what a doozy that was."

"This actually sounds like a touch job," says Aladdin, "have you ever thought of quitting?"

Genie then gets serious. "Everyday. My wish is for freedom. To be my own master... but the only way is for my master to wish me free!"

"Has that ever happened before," asks Sora. Everyone stares at him. "Right, you wouldn't be doing this job if it did!"

"Hey, I know," says Aladdin, "I could use my third wish to set you free."

Genie thinks about it. "It's a deal," says Genie, "so master, what will you have for with number 2?"

Aladdin thinks about it. "How'bout making me into a fabulously wealthy prince?"

"Money! Royalty! Fame," says Genie, "why didn't I think of that?"

"Why a prince," asks Goofy.

"You see, there's this girl in Agrabah named Jasmine," says Aladdin, "but she's a princess and I'm... aw, she could never fall for a guy like me."

"That's right," says Sora, "she's in trouble, Aladdin!"

"What," asks Aladdin, "come on, let's get going!"

Genie's now dressed like Captain America. "Assemble!"

...

The group arrives in Agrabah and fights some of the Heartless. They then find Jafar with Jasmine. "Setting your sights a little high, aren't you, boy," asks Jafar, "back to your hole, street rat. I will not allow you to trouble the princess anymore."

"Jasmine," says Aladdin.

"I'm so sorry, Aladdin," says Jasmine.

"Genie, help Jasmine please," says Aladdin.

Genie then saves Jasmine. Since he never got around to granting the prince wish... "One wish left," says Genie, "you're making this really easy; you know."

"So sorry, boy," says Jafar, "I'm afraid your second wish has been denied." Iago then takes the lamp from Aladdin and gives it to Jafar.

Genie then lets go of Jasmine. "I'm sorry, Al," says Genie.

"And now, I bid you all farewell," says Jafar, "attack!"

Sora and his friends then fight the Heartless. After defeating them...

"Jasmine," says Aladdin. They then heard Jafar's laugh. "To the desert! Come on. Let's move!"

...

The heroes then arrive in the desert and meet the Cave of Wonders. "Wait, something's not right," says Aladdin, "the Heartless! They're controlling the Tiger Head!"

Sora and his friends are then forced to fight the head. They then freed the head. "You have freed me," says the head, "you may enter!"

...

The heroes then arrive to find Jafar, Genie, and Jasmine. "My first wish, Genie! Show me the keyhole," says Jafar.

Genie then summons the keyhole. Jafar laughs.

Maleficent then appears. "And what about the boy," asks Maleficent.

"Who's she," asks Sora.

"No idea," says Aladdin, "but I think Jafar might be working for her!"

"He's more persistent than I expected," says Jafar.

"Stop," says Sora, "and who are you?"

"I am Maleficent, Mistress of all Evil!" She then disappears.

"Who's willing to just leave like a coward," says Jafar.

"Jafar, let Jasmine go," says Aladdin.

"Not a chance," says Jafar, "you see, she's a princess- one of seven who somehow hold the key to opening the door."

"Open," asks Goofy.

"The door," asks Donald.

"But you fools won't live to see what lies beyond it," says Jafar, "Genie! My second wish. Crush them!"

"Genie, no," says Aladdin.

"Sorry, Al," says Genie, "the one with the lamp calls the shots. I don't have a choice. Don't worry, I can't kill... but you'd be surprised what you can live through."

Sora and his friends then try to get to Jafar while trying to avoid being crushed by Genie.

"What are we going to do," asks Sora, "as long as he has the genie, he's unstoppable!"

"The Genie," says Aladdin, "the Genie has more power than you'll ever have!"

"What are you doing," asks Sora.

"He's the real threat in this case," says Aladdin.

"Okay, no need to make him madder," says Genie.

"Face it, Jafar, you're just second best," says Aladdin.

Jafar was about to say something, but... "You're right," says Jafar, "Genie, I wish to become an all-powerful genie!"

"Okay, as you wish," says Genie.

"Remind me to slap you later," says Donald.

Genie then makes Jafar into a genie. "Yes... I'm even more powerful than Maleficent," says Jafar, "forget the Villain Council! I will rule the Universe myself!"

"That's right, Jafar," says Aladdin, "you have the power... and everything that goes with it!"

"What," asks Jafar, "no!" Jafar then gets trapped in his own lamp and takes Iago with him.

"So that's what that was about," says Sora.

"Al, you little genius," says Genie.

Sora then goes to the keyhole and uses the Keyblade on it.

"We got a problem," says Aladdin, "Jasmine's missing again!" The cave then started to collapse. Sora, Donald, and Goofy had to drag Aladdin with them...

...

"So, Jasmine's no longer in Agrabah," asks Aladdin, "Sora, let's go find her!"

"Sorry, I can't take you with me," says Sora.

"Why not," asks Aladdin.

"I sure wish we could..." says Goofy.

"But we can't," says Donald, "if we take him to another world, we would be... meddling!"

"Aladdin, we will find Jasmine, I promise," says Sora.

"Uh, Earth to Al," says Genie, "you still have one wish left. Look, just say the word. Ask me to find Jasmine for you."

"I... I wish... for your freedom, Genie," says Aladdin.

"Al," says Genie. Genie is no longer bound to the lamp.

"A deal's a deal, Genie," says Aladdin, "now you can go anywhere you want. You're your own master. But if you can, it'd be great if you could go along with them and help Sora find Jasmine."

"Sorry, Al, I'm done taking orders from others," says Genie, "but... a favor, now that's entirely different. I guess I could give that a try. After all, we're pals, right, Al?"

"Genie," says Aladdin.

"Just leave it to me," says Genie.
