Stellar Wishes

by Vanitus Omnipotent

The Disney Multiverse, it's big...REALLY big! And we all know the canon and the like...but what about the stories you don't know about? The ones where heroes become villains, monsters become heroes and other wacky stuff? Well, it's ME! Chaos, back from the 90's to narrate it all. Requests are free! So let's see the chaos of the Disneyverse's oddities!

1. Chapter 1- The 'Princess' and the Thief

Complete umbra, without stars or light for miles around, formed within the screen as the void seemingly went on for eternity.

Not a single spec or sign of light was seen for miles and miles. Not even from the center of the void, with its pitch black darkness and bright yellow eyes-wait what?!

The eyes slowly blinked and looked left, right, before closing with a sudden figure popping into literal existence in the space.

That being a large light blue furred cat with long pointed ears, bright yellow eyes with a white of fur around them, a small red nose, four long whiskers, two large blue tufts of fur on the sides of his face, a black goatee, two light purple bird-like wings, two gold bands on the front forepaws, a gold collar sporting an inverted omega emblem on it, and a long tail with three black stripes at the end, who seemed to be smirking at the screen with knowing eyes.

"Why hello, it's been a LONG time. Like since the late 90's to be exact." he greeted, 'sitting' on nothing itself as his tail flicked from side to side. "I've been on a bit of vacation, so to speak, but now? NOW I'm back and ready for a little...something new."

The void around him began to flicker like an old tv screen as various images appeared around him in tiny squares of multicolored hues.

"As for what that entails, let me start off with a question. What's your favorite Disney film or series? Come on, don't be shy, you can tell me I won't judge."

But all he got was complete silence.

"Come on, you can tell me."

Silence.

"Aw come now, no need to be shy."

Silence.

"Huh, tough crowd. Well, to voice your lack of voices, all your favorite films, their tie-ins and strange AU books approved by a rodent sometimes, all have one thing in common." Chaos said while the images floated next to his wings and stopped at various 'happily ever after'-like endings. "They are so-"

POOF!

And just like that, the squares exploded into various pollen clouds as the cat groaned in annoyance.

"Boring! Repetitive! Cliché!" He grumbled while rolling his eyes. "It's all so basic and predictable! Who wants all the goody good endings when there's so much more choices?"

The pollen cloud quickly spun around the entity while he licked his left paw for a moment, the spinning circle revealing several heroes and villains fighting against each other...although the images seemed to glitch out every so often.

"And for that matter, why keep the same plot? The same situations? It gets stale after a while, especially with those weird 'live action' films, and in my own opinion, there are a lot of ways to liven up the story."

The images vanished as the cat chuckled.

"That's why we should take a look at something new and different." Chaos said with a smirk while several whiteboards appeared behind him and different colored markers began creating images at random speeds and strokes. "Now these are just examples so bare with me here."

The cat quickly turned his head towards the left whiteboard and used his tail to point at an image of a girl with long light blue hair walking through a palace hallway.

"Ever wondered what would've happened if Rapunzel's mom ate a plant holding the essence of the Moonstone Opal instead of the Sunstone? Ever wondered how the power of death and decay would affect her outlook on life?" he asked with a curious tone as the other whiteboards continued to draw. "Of course not! Because you'd never think about it and that's what makes it so exciting!"

In a quick 'snap' of his head, he turned to the right whiteboard, where an image of a woman in forest green armor was fighting off several giant gray skinned aliens with nothing but a sword in one hand and a futuristic gold arm cannon in the other hand.

"Wanted to see what'll happen if Fa Mulan was captured by aliens during her trip through the mountains and had to fight for her life to return back to earth?" He asked before making another 'snap' and looked to the center whiteboard, showing a woman in a yellow dress roaring out as her skin seemed to be turning into brown fur, her fingers becoming claws and her mouth gaining razor sharp teeth. "Or perhaps a chance to see Belle becoming the very monster that would've turned poor Adam into a Beast?"

Twisting his head towards the left whiteboard, the image of a man draped in red holding the skinless skull of a human boy in their hooked right hand, a small green hat dangling from the hook's end as the man seemingly grinned with glee.

"How about a visit to a Neverland where Captain Hook finally slain his nemesis, Peter Pan?" He said before clapping his paws as all three whiteboards vanished into dust. "Well, that's just a sampling of what my plans are for this series."

The void quickly changed to a large library of unused concepts and scripts, all floating around an empty white void.

"From the average 'What If' scenario to reintroducing the old deleted aspects of a film or series, I'll be showing you all possible improbable yet exciting worlds of fun." Chaos said with a smile. "Granted not everything will be the same as what the original writers and storyboarders had envisioned, given copyright laws, but there will be a feel of what could've been had someone or something's decision/actions didn't affect them. I mean they actually had the balls to turn Mulan II's original plot, which had a climactic final battle between two spectral armies, into something so...boring and filled with character assassination."

Several scripts quickly twisted inwards and formed a spiral stairway as Chaos began walking up it, still looking at the screen with a heavy sigh.

"A shame too, but not for long~" He chuckled while passing by several mirrors, each one filled with images of different random scenarios. "As here, I'm the boss and I'll show you a good time. Better than that Blue Fairy that tried to do the same thing."

And cue a small blue orb floated next to him from the left side as the cat groaned.

"For the last time, I'm not making you a co-host. If I did that you'd only show timelines filled with...ugh, nauseating sugar coated happy endings."

It moved up and down with him holding his paw out to swat the orb.

"No way! Besides, you already do that with those so-called 'steamy' fairy tales, although I will give props to them being different and having more raunchy takes."

The orb moved up and down frantically as Chaos deadpanned at it.

"It's not my fault you slacked off and let the well run dry, now please leave. I have a show to start."

It let out a huff before zipping away to the right.

"Fairies, always trying to make things 'family friendly', bah." Chaos muttered before getting off the stairs and entered into a large theater full of empty red seats and a large screen in the middle of the room. "Here is where we'll get to see the magic happen."

The screen began to flicker as the cat walked down towards the front row, several stars forming around the chairs and making vague humanoid shapes into the process.

"Be warned, if you're squeamish or just not a fan of some of these worlds, just leave at any point in the series. I'm not ordering you to stay, that goes against my nature, something some good friends of mine learned full well back in the day." he warned the unseen audience before popcorn appeared in his lap. "Now, let's begin."

The screen began to glow a bright yellow hue as numerous stars illuminated the center, taking the form of letters with every passing second.

"Oh I love this part."

And lo, in perfect cursive and colored in gold and silver, were the words...

Stellar Wishes

"Mmmm, it needs something...mmmm oh! Tinker Bell! It needs her."

And cue said fairy flying by the title before taping the title which burst into bright gold stardust.

"Perfect!" He exclaimed with delight as the screen went black.

-Agrabah, Lower Slums-

Night fell upon the decaying slums of the city, a place filled with wonder and mystery, as it was...teeming with numerous shady and untrustworthy people, looking for the next big score.

The darkness filled alleyways and abandoned buildings only illuminated by the faint traces of the crescent moon above.

And all the while, the familiar sound of a certain cat echoed within the streets, seemingly invisible to all.

[Ah yes, Agrabah, city of cows as Mirage once put it. Personally I think it's rustic and chaotic, like myself, especially that drunk guy getting robbed on the left side.]

"Give me all your money!"

"I...I don't...have any!" the man hiccuped while stumbling around, unable to stand as the thief pointed his sword at his throat. "I spent, hic! Them all!"

"Then why do you have a large bag of dinar in your hands?"

"I-"

"The dinar or your life!"

"AHHHH!" He screamed while accidentally puking on the thief's face.

"GAH!" the thief gagged as he stumbled back and wiped at his face. "DEATH IT IS!"

[See? Unpredictable, gross but unpredictable all the same. But enough of all that minor character interaction! Because just a few blocks from here, a moment in time will begin to unravel Fate's design.]

The camera began to turn to the right as a figure carefully snuck around every corner, seemingly trying to hide from the guards that were stationed a little too close to the slum's exit ways.

They needed to stay on their toes, more so than usual. For they weren't exactly...well liked by the authorities.

Clank.

Clank.

And lo, semi visible under the moonlight and darting towards a wall near a passing patrol of guards, was a tall lightly tan skinned young man with a thin strand of black hair going down the left side of his face, dark onyx eyes, wearing a sleeveless black shirt, long sleeved dark blue undershirt, a dark blue tagelmust that covered his face with a thin small gold band around the sides, a dark blue cape that went down to his hips, a gold medallion with a fist emblem on his left shoulder, a pale maroon sash, a light brown curved sheath with a gold hilted blade hanging from his left hip by a long strap that went over his right shoulder, black baggy pants and curved light gray boots, whose eyes seemed filled with unease as he held a tattered cloth in his left hand, seemingly filled with some sort of goods, possibly stolen.

[And there's our man, and there's the guards. I wonder how he'll get past them?]

He stuck into the shadows and watched the guards as they yawned and stood at the ready. Quickly, he picked up a rock, tossed it in his hand, then chucked it to the other side as it hit a stand which got their attention.

"Did you hear that?"

"It's just a rat."

"It sounded bigger than that."

"Well go check it out then."

And with that, the two guards walked away from the wall, allowing the hidden 'thief' to walk away quickly, moving closer and closer towards the slum's exit and towards the city gates.

'I only hope no one else is wandering around at this hour.' He thought while his eyes darted around, making sure no one saw him.

[Ah, such paranoia. Must be due to the bundle. Oh?]

The camera zoomed towards the right as a brown robed figure holding a silken bundle in their right hand moved towards the direction of the city gates as well...not noticing the two figures were about to collide with each other.

BAM!

In a few seconds, the two wound up hitting the other, falling backwards on their behinds.

"Ow!"

The blue robed figure groaned while making sure the bundle was ok, not noticing the other figure getting up and giving him a nasty glare.

"Watch where you're going!"

"My apologies, I was just leaving."

"With stolen goods?" the brown robed figure retorted while making the other robed individual uncomfortable. "A loaf of bread? Gold?"

"Nothing of the sort, and I should be asking you the same thing."

"It's royal business. None of your concerns."

"It is my concern when you accuse me of stealing." he threw back in agitation.

"Nothing that a street rat like you should be questioning."

"Perhaps but still least I have my honor." He frowned before looking at the bundle in his hands. "But enough talk, I'm on my way out of the city."

"Oh? That's where I was heading myself." the figure said before noticing movement in the other man's bundle. "Mmm, looks like I was wrong. It's not gold, but a child. Stolen no doubt."

"He wasn't stolen! How would someone steal their own flesh and blood like a common criminal?!"

[Ooooh, the plot thickens.]

"Oh great, another street rat."

"Have a heart, he just lost his mother at the moment of birth." the man frowned in saddened anger. "He has nothing left here in Agrabah."

"And where would you go? Out into the Seven Deserts?"

"Anywhere but this nest of thieves." he said while looking at the bundle, not realizing that the robed figure was staring at him with the gaze of a viper. "...I would do anything to give him a better life, even if it cost me my soul in the process."

'Anything huh? Hmmm...'

"Now please stand aside, I have a long journey-"

"Wait." the figure said in a calmer tone. "Perhaps I can help you, and your son?"

The man stared at them with a suspicious glare. "Why would you help someone who you would be so quick to assume is a thief?"

"Because, my friend, I have a similar problem that might be solved by cooperation...if you care to listen that is?"

"...that would be?"

"I, my good sir, am a member of the Sultan's servants, an occupation that gives one the personal freedom to know the goings on in the palace. And this." they said while bobbing his head down towards the bundle in his hands. "Is a child, just born tonight. The Sultan tasked me to...dispose of it."

"Wait what? But why?"

"He found out that the Sultana was unfaithful to him, moonlighting with a random palace guard. This child is illegitimate and his majesty has tasked me into leaving it for someone else to find lest the truth comes to light."

"Illegitimate or not, it's still an innocent child. It's done no harm."

"Perhaps, but the fallout will lead to the sultanate's collapse and the Sultan wants none of that. But." the figure said while moving closer to the blue robed man. "He never said I couldn't...no, that's too unbelievable for you to imagine."

"What? Tell me."

"No no, I can't trouble you with it. After all, you think my actions are 'underhanded'."

"Just tell me, before I take the child and leave you in a barrel, head first." he frowned as the figure smirked from under the hood.

"That's what I'm asking for. You take this child and swap it with your son."

His eyes widened, the suggestion throwing him for a loop. "W-What?"

"It's real simple, you take the Sultan's illegitimate child and do whatever you want with it, preferably taking it as far away from Agrabah as humanly possible, and I'll take your son and grant him a better life." the figure said with a smirk. "Think about it, under my guidance and within the palace walls, he will grow up without knowing the harsh unforgiving reality of the streets. Access to fresh food and water, protection from criminals and a warm fire to sleep by. Everything that a normal boy would need to survive."

"But...won't the Sultana find out?"

"She only gave birth just an hour ago, she's exhausted and never took notice of the child's gender before the order was given. But don't worry, your son will be raised well...if you make the switch this very night."

"...but, this is immoral."

"Yet, this is the only chance you have for your son's future. If you choose to ignore my bargain then you condemn not only the abandonment of an illegitimate child in the scorching desert sands but also condemn your son to a life of hunger and an early grave. Is that what you want, to give the world another street rat?"

He bit his lip, the heavy weight dropping down upon him from the figure's words as he looked down at the bundle.

"Time is ticking, if you dally then the guards will discover us and trust me, mission or no, we will lose our heads for conspiring against the throne. Especially for a street rat like yourself."

He looked between the man and the bundle, closing his eyes before he made the decision.

"Hurry, I think I hear the guards coming now."

"Alright!" He yelled, his heart breaking inside as he held out the sleeping bundle towards the robed figure. "Take him."

Quick as lightning, the figure took the cloth bundle and swapped it with his own silken bundle, their smirking face obscured by their own hood.

"Just keep your oath. Make sure he has a better life."

"Oh I will, but tell me, what is the child's name?"

"...Aladdin."

"Aladdin, a fine name for a street rat but manageable." the figure said while looking at the man's face. "As for that political nightmare, call it whoever you like, or not. Just make sure it never returns to Agrabah or the oath will be nullified."

The man nodded, walking past the hooded figure and telling himself not to think twice and look back.

"Oh and one more thing, your name?"

"...Cassim, just Cassim."

"Cassim..." the robed figure said as he saw the street rat walk into the shadows, their head raised upwards to reveal a pair of black eyes and a small twisted goatee. "I will remember that, oh I will remember that."

[My, the plot thickens like a baked cake. Now, let's see how Cassim fares.]

The man known as Cassim managed to get past the gates, heading out into the open desert while forcing himself to move as fast as possible and not falter for a second.

WOOOSH!

'A sandstorm? Just great.' He thought to himself as he looked at the bundle in his arms, guilt slowly creeping into his heart as he realized what he just did.

He traded his own son for a random baby, which would lead to a no different life had he just held on to Aladdin.

And now...he was expected to cast it aside like spoiled meat...but how could he? The child was blameless, innocent.

It did no wrong to anyone, it was naive to how the world worked and what dangers it held.

It...didn't deserve to die.

"...he might not see your worth but I do. You deserve a family...a father." he spoke to the young child who moved slightly in the bundle, slowly opening its eyes. "Mmm, a diamond in the rough. Just like the jasmine...yes, that's what'll make you. Jasmine."

The child stared at Cassim as the winds began to pick up, indicating a sandstorm in the distance.

WOOOSH!

"We best get to shelter before we get caught in the storm." He said before walking into the desert, his fate uncertain to all.

[Except me! Oh relax, they'll be fine. Oh, it's about time to see how this little baby swap party changed everything in this timeline.]

(Many years later)

-Agrabah, Bazaar-

"Fresh fruit for sale! Get your fresh fruit!"

"Get your fresh fish here, all the way from the Dead Sea and beyond!"

"Dates! Get your dates here!"

The sounds of numerous people, all of which were trying to sell their various wares, echoed across the endless bazaar street ways as people looked at the many exotic wares with curiosity.

All the while the owners trying to make a living as a pair of yellow eyes floated near a stall decorated with jewelry, the owner not noticing the eyes at all as they got closer to him.

"Rare gems! From the farthest corners of the land!"

"Mmm, got any diamonds?" the eyes 'asked' while the gem seller blinked in surprise.

He quickly turned around and noticed the eyes, causing him to out a loud scream of shock. "AHHHH!"

"What? Got something on my face?"

"D-D-Demon!" He screamed before throwing some gems at the eyes, only for them to have vanished...and landed in front of some starving 'street rats', who started to take them off the ground. "Hey! Give those back! Thieves!"

As the man tried to run after the 'thieves', he failed to notice that the eyes were back and was accompanied by a tail, which-

CRASH!

Knocked over the gems on the table and caused them to fall on the ground.

"FREE GEMS!" The eyes 'yelled' out to the crowd as everyone took notice of the gems and in a mad panic, began attacking each other and the owner himself...all for the sake of getting rich quick.

"AH! EEH! BACK! GET AWAY!"

"MY GEMS!"

"NO MINE!"

"MINE!"

"Hehehehe." The eyes 'chuckled' before floating away and turned into a cat via a smoke cloud, as he looked at the screen from atop a semi-dilapidated building's roof. "Now that was funny, a little chaotic mess to spice things up. And look, I think I gave someone a second chance at life while at it. Ah, love this job...although, in another part of the bazaar, it's a little slow, like really slow."

The camera quickly zoomed towards the left of the chaotic brawl as several Agrabanians were quietly buying fresh food and/or exotic fabric without a care in the world...despite the total number of customers being at maximum...three.

"Oooh, potatoes, better stock up on those." the seller said while looking at a stand filled with potatoes and other fruits. "I'll have ten."

"Good choice sir, they were just brought here from Odiferous."

[Mmmm. Now where is-ah. There they are! Right on time.]

And lo, walking past the various stands in a confused state was a tall slender woman wearing a brown long sleeved abaya that showed off her wide hips, long black gloves and a brown hijab that obscured her entire face as she seemed to be wandering around without direction or a goal.

She was trying her best not to stand out or bump into anyone, which was easier on her given this part of the area.

However, she seemed fascinated by everything around her, from the jewelry to the local spices...and even the fresh fish, which she seemed to be interested in at the moment.

'This place is amazing, I can't believe it's so clean and open.' She thought while looking at a dead swordfish with awe. 'And I've never seen fish unprepared before...and it stinks!'

"Ah, welcome. Care to check out my wares?"

"Oh! Pardon me, I was just browsing right now."

"Ah, then enjoy. Oh, perhaps you're interested in this flounder?" the owner asked while holding out a dead yellow and blue striped fish in both hands. "Freshly caught and great for stomach pains."

"Um, no thank you." She said while walking off, her hooded head darting from one side to the other as she tried, and failed, to not hit anyone with her rump as she passed them.

"Hey, watch it!"

"Well I never!"

"Get your rump under control!"

"What are you? A camel?!"

'Damn this behind!' She thought before walking quickly away, her hidden face flustered as she didn't realize that-

[Oh boy, right into the Thieves Quarters, home of cutthroats and other seedy individuals. Hopefully they don't meet any...unfortunate souls in that nest of crime.]

She looked around the dimly lit area, already noting the change in the air that gave her a warning.

Especially when she could smell hookah smoke fumes emanating from the nearby buildings.

'Where is this place? And why does it smell so...familiar?' She thought to herself while not noticing that her mere presence was catching the attention of several harem girls from a nearby first floor window.

"Well well, what do we have here girls?" spoke one of the harem girls, one draped in red attire, with an amused look in her eyes. "A newcomer, and look at that ass."

"I haven't seen one that big in a looong time."

"Yeah." said a harem girl draped in purple as her companion, who was wearing all pink, whistled at the girl's ass with amazement. "I kinda want to smack it."

"Same here. Oh, maybe we can get her to join us? Another hand on deck for the customers?"

"Well getting a new face would help spice things up around here."

"Plus her hips would look great in salwar, although we might need to get a bigger size for her."

"Oh, she's just about to leave the area. Let's catch her girls!"

They moved down the stairs, the hooded woman moving toward the entranceway in the meantime. "Wait!"

"Huh?" the woman said while looking towards the window in confusion.

"You can't leave just yet."

"Um why?"

"Because we need you silly." one of the harem girls said while moving behind the woman, followed by her companions. "Ever needed a job?"

"What kind?"

"Oh you know, one that..."

SLAP!

"Eep!"

"Makes use of that rump of yours~"

"H-Hey!"

"Come on now, let's talk inside."

"Yeah, you can get comfy and get acquainted with the customers."

"Forget it! I'm not interested in this 'job' you've got in mind." She said while trying to walk away, only for the harem girls to grab her by the arms. "Hey!"

"Oh come on, have some food, a rest and some dinar."

"Really, I'm good."

"Come on~ Join us inside."

"It will be worth it~"

"Forget it, I'm leaving!" She yelled while struggling to get out of the harem girls' grip.

"Quit being so stubborn!"

"Yeah, just have fun~"

"And then get acquainted with the customers. All of them~"

"Let go of me!"

"Oh quit being so stubborn!"

"Yeah, just relax and have some fun."

"No!"

As this scene went on, a pair of brown eyes caught the little scuffle from behind a corner as a figure began walking towards the group.

[Oh, and here's the star of the hour. Right on time.]

"Let go!"

"What is going on here?" spoke a calm yet stern voice from behind the four women.

All four turned around and saw a tall slender olive tan skinned young woman with very short black hair sporting thin bangs that curve out from the sides of her forehead, brown eyes, black interlocking scale-like tattoos going from her forehead to her nose in a crescent moon design, a small violet red ruby hanging from the center of her forehead by a thin silver encrusted headdress, a C cup chest and large ass, wearing a sleeveless dark blue bedlah top with silver lining, a long sleeved black undershirt with thick circular silver lining going down from the elbows to the wrists, two gold bracelets with a snarling serpentine creature with thick dorsal plates circling around the sides of each, a black bukhnuq with thin silver lining stitched around the sides and neckline, a long black rectangular veil that went down to her chest and was embroidered with a silver cobra symbol in the center, a long dark blue cape that went down to her hips, a gold medallion with a fist emblem on her left shoulder, a silver sash, dark blue baggy salwar-like pants sporting thin silver lining around the waist and curved bright yellow shoes with tiny feathered wings around the ankles, standing behind them as her eyes stared at them with an intense sternness that made the harem girls flinch in fear.

"Oh um-"

"What are you doing with my wife?"

"Wife?!" All three harem girls yelled out as the woman that was being harassed by them looked at the stranger in abject confusion.

"Yes, she sometimes wanders away from me. And after all the trouble I went to save you from that camel smuggler a few years back no less." She said while shaking her head, only to grab the woman's right hand and drag them away. "Now come along dear."

"Um, ok...dear." She said in confusion before the two were stopped by five large men, each one with enough muscles to out flex an elephant and possibly beat them in physical strength.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Yeah, where do you think you're going?"

"Simple, out of this nest of scum." the woman said calmly. "And away from the eyesores in front of me."

"Get them!" the red clad harem girl yelled at the men. "She's stealing a new recruit from us!"

The men growled at her, cracking their knuckles.

"You know, this isn't going to end well for you five." the woman said with a cocky smirk. "So I suggest you just let us through before I send you to the Valley of the Dead."

"Ha! Looks like the little lady can tell jokes."

"Yeah. She's just a street rat."

"A tiny one at that."

The woman shook her head before a flash of gold light illuminated within her sleeves. "Oh?"

SWISH!

The men blinked in surprise as several small curved gold hook-like daggers with turquoise gemstones lining the sides and hilt, flew at them from within her sleeves at insane speeds, cutting their clothes off instantly as the daggers floated over the woman like metallic birds of prey.

"Can a street rat do that?"

"S-SORCERESS!" they screamed before crashing into each other as they rushed out of the building in fear, disregarding the fact they were naked.

"And there I thought they would be a worthy challenge." the woman said with a disappointed tone as the blades entered her sleeves and seemingly vanished from sight. "But I guess-"

THUNK!

THUNK!

THUNK!

She blinked as an eight foot tall muscular grunt of a man stepped down the stairs, his feet shaking the ground as he stared at her in annoyance, only to turn to the harem girls.

"Shall I deal with them girls?"

All of them nodded as one, causing the man to turn towards the two women with sadistic satisfaction.

THUNK!

THUNK!

"Um, do you have a plan?" the woman asked her savior while she extended her left sleeve outwards.

"Trust me." She said while pulling out a massive white hook made of pure bone that curved inwards and had various unknown markings along its sides, with her right hand, the symbols glowing with blue energy. "This will be easy. He's all muscle after all."

[Ah, the dreaded Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra or Lady Viper of the Desert for you non Arabic speakers. The world's greatest assassin, user of all forms of magic items from across the world, all stored in her Robes of Holding. And well.]

THUNK!

THUNK!

[A member of the Forty Thieves. Surprising no?]

"I must break you."

"Heard that before." She smirked before raising the fish hook upwards and, with surprising strength and speed, sent the man flying into a nearby wall.

BOOOM!

"Doesn't scare me at all." She chuckled before seeing the man getting up in anger. "Huh, tougher than he looks. Hey dear, I suggest you get out of here right now. I'll meet up with you later."

"You will be ground into dust!"

"Bad grammar." She said before jumping back from an incoming fist, just as her 'wife' ran for cover under a table. "It's grounded to dust."

"Shut up!"

BOOOM!

Quickly, the assassin dodged another punch, the ground shaking from the impact as she used her fishhook to block another punch.

CRACK!

Breaking his fingers in the process upon impact with the rather durable bone.

"AHHH!" He screamed as he stumbled back and held his right hand in pain.

She smirked before slamming the fish hook on the man's head, causing him to crash into the ground head first as the harem girls screamed in shock.

"Ugh..."

She turned to the girls with a frown. "Are you going to make more trouble?"

All three stared at her in fear before screaming and ran past her, exiting the building as the assassin turned towards the woman's direction.

"Hey, are you still there?"

"...yes." She said while poking her head from behind the overturned table, just in time to see the hook vanish into the assassin's left sleeve.

"That's good. Also, why did you come into this brothel?" the woman asked with a raised eyebrow. "You don't seem the type."

"They dragged me here!"

"Duh, this is one of Agrabah's seediest districts, everyone here is out to get you. Everyone knows that."

"Well I didn't!" She yelled while seeing the assassin walking towards her, causing her to lightly blush at her beauty.

[She does have that effect on everyone, even on the opposite gender.]

"Ah, not from around here. Same, but I come here for...special items." the woman said while her robes glowed a faint gold hue for a second. "Where are you heading?"

"Away from Agrabah."

"Oh? Why's that?"

"...because my father doesn't want me to see the world."

"Ah, overbearing I take it? Abuser? Doesn't listen to you when you speak up?"

"What?! No, he's not like that! He's just...over pampering. He thinks I can't make my own mark on the world without being just so...overprotective."

"What's the difference?"

"It's-I mean-UGH!" She groaned while raising her arms in the air in frustration. "It's just so boring! And I could do so much outside the walls. Don't you ever feel like you're trapped?"

"No." the assassin deadpanned. "I don't feel trapped, but I kinda understand what you're going through, for the most part."

"How?"

"My father is protective of me, but not that pampering, I fight my own battles." She said with a sigh. "Still, maybe your father is just worried about you? Wanting to make sure you're ready for the real world?"

"Just like my guardian, real world? I haven't even LEFT the walls until today. This was my chance to start fresh, but now...it seems like I need some more knowledge before I ever leave this place." the woman said with a frown before hearing the sound of advancing city guards heading right towards them. "Oh no."

[Oooh, trouble. And it seems like their first interaction is about to end rather abruptly.]

"Crap. Looks like those girls reported the brawl to the guards." the assassin grumbled before noticing the woman pulling out a bottle from her left sleeve. "What are-"

"Thanks for the help but I have to go." She said before throwing the bottle on the ground.

KABOOM!

Causing a massive explosion of red dust.

"I'll reward you for your rescue in the future!"

"Cough! Cough! What the-" she coughed before noticing that the girl she rescued had disappeared, possibly during the explosion. "How did she...oh forget it, I'll worry about that when I'm not in a cell."

As she looked at the door, her slippers began to float in the air, the wings flapping like tiny birds as she flew out the nearby window.

Just as the guards ran in, swords at the ready.

"Alright, fan out men, and find any suspicious rats." Razoul yelled out with a stern tone.

"Yes sir." the other guards said at once while no one noticed a pair of golden eyes staring at them from behind.

[Welp, those clowns won't find anything. So let's move away and go see our little 'lady' friend with the elephant behind.]

(Elsewhere)

-Palace, Royal Bedroom-

FLASH!

Within the bright and ornate room, one required for those within the sultanate, the cloaked woman looked around, seemingly relaxed despite appearing from a flash of red light, as they sat on the bed with a sigh.

"That was close. Way too close." She muttered before snapping her fingers and caused a small red cloud of dust to form all around her.

[Ah yes, now to see the diamond in the rough. Or in this case.]

Wooosh!

And lo, from within the cloud of dust, stood a tall slender feminine young 'woman' with long black messy hair that went to 'her' shoulders, thick black eyebrows, brown eyes, a B cup chest and large ass, wearing a red long sleeved openly short coat that exposed the chest and sported a gold trim, purple shoulder armor with a long white cape that hung down the back of the coat, a red fez with purple stripes and a ruby gemstone on the left side, a red sash, wide baggy red pants and golden white shoes with swirled tips, who seemed to give off an air of confident femininity with 'her' smile.

[The prince behind the beauty. Meet Prince Aladdin, son of the Sultan and a natural beauty, mistaken as a woman due to his diet being better than in other timelines. And oh boy, he's not happy about having to return to his cage, not even close.]

"Taking a bath never felt so good." He muttered to himself as he got up off the bed and headed towards the royal baths, through a secret hallway that his guardian showed him years prior.

Creak.

Which so happened to be hidden behind a trap pillar, although as he walked in, he noticed a red and blue parrot flying onto his left shoulder with a look of relief.

[Oh look, it's Iago. Huh, looks better with that human head I must say. But oh dear, Aladdin is in trouble.]

"Oh Iago...hi. Um, how-"

"Kid." The parrot said with a frown. "I've been looking everywhere for you and it doesn't take a genius to know you ditched 'HIM' for one of your 'afternoon strolls', or whatever you're up to for an entire day!"

"Oh come on, I just wanted to get out for a bit."

"A bit? You were gone an entire day! And you know how he doesn't want you out of the palace."

"He'll ever know."

"The last time you said that, you accidentally charmed a king's wife and that nearly caused a war! Plus he'll know and he WON'T be happy at all." Iago said as Aladdin opened a hidden doorway and stepped out into a hallway.

Bam!

And ran straight into a tall bony tan skinned middle aged man with black eyes sporting gray eyeliner, a thin black mustache, a twisted black goatee, wearing a black robe that reached towards the ground and had curved pointed shoulder points, a jet-black shirt with very close-fitting sleeves that reached his wrists, a red undergarment with long bell-like sleeves, a long billowing black cape with a blood red underside, a pale-yellowish undergarment that covers his neck, the back of his head, and his chest, a tall black metallic mitre-like headdress with a thin yellow pattern lining the middle and the lower portions of the front, a ruby gemstone situated in the center and a long crimson feather sticking out from the center towards the forehead, a red-violet cloth hanging from the mitre to his shoulders, a reddish violet sash tied around his waist, brown inwardly curved shoes, and holding a long golden staff with a cobras head studded with ruby eyes in his left hand, whose eyes were filled with a cold calculating glaze as Aladdin backed away in surprise.

[Ah, here's the royal vizier and Aladdin's guardian and teacher, Jafar. Funny, I thought he was going to appear later than this, then again this does make things interesting. Especially when Aladdin is going to get in trouble for running away before an important 'lesson' aka magic training. What? Didn't expect Aladdin to know magic, well he does but only the basics. This IS Jafar we're talking about after all.]

"Prince Aladdin, where have you been?" asked the man in a tone that showed he was not happy at all.

"Um...the royal baths?"

"For an entire day?"

"No, I mean yes-"

"Prince Aladdin, I know for a fact you weren't in the royal baths but instead outside the palace walls. Something I told you a thousand times not to do."

He looked away and crossed his arms with a pout. "It was just for a little walk is all."

"Oh really now?" Jafar said while raising an eyebrow. "A walk into Agrabah? A city of street rats that only think of stealing, pillaging and violating everything in sight? With your 'majestic figure', I doubt it would be a pleasant one."

"But-"

"Iago, make sure he stays put in his room for the next few weeks. I'll inform the Sultan of this matter, and he will agree that this is in your best interests. After all, you have to learn how to become sultan, not running away to Allah knows where in the Seven Deserts."

"Eh alright alright." the parrot conceded with a grumble with Aladdin looking annoyed.

"But Jafar-"

"It's all for your own good." the vizier interrupted before pushing the boy away with his staff. "Now off with you, and I expect you to stay in your room once you finish in the baths."

Aladdin grumbled as he walked away, leaving Iago and his guardian alone in the hallway. 'Damn it. Looks like I need to raid the laboratory again, there has to be a spell that can get me away from this place once and for all.'

The vizier frowned before looking at the parrot in anger. "I thought I told you to KEEP an eye on him!"

"I did, but he um...got me into the treasure room and locked me in there." Iago said with a lot of lies in his tone. "It's not my fault he ran off during that time."

"He is to be kept from the outside world, as per my agreement with the boy's...true father. All you had to do was keep him here, make sure he learns the arts of ruling a kingdom, and to make sure once the old fool dies that HE'S made into a worthy puppet. He is NOT supposed to leave the palace under any circumstances!"

"I know that! I'm not an idiot, but it ain't my fault he's more slippery than a normal street rat." Iago grumbled. "Plus you taught him magic as well."

"Only the basics, as my sister once said 'too many sorcerers under one roof leads only to chaos'." Jafar said while not seeing a pair of eyes staring back at him from a nearby wall. "Especially when he becomes my puppet."

"Yeah yeah, and how are we going to keep him here? He's the kinda guy that could charm a camel into doing anything for him, and that sorta thing is dangerous. Wait, can't you just use your staff on him?"

"I could, except he has the most indomitable will in all of creation. You saw what happened when I tried to mesmerize him as a toddler."

"Oh yeah...the day he thought my tail was food. Thanks for reminding me." Iago said sarcastically before flying off. "No really thanks a lot."

"Just make sure you do your job, or I might decide to use you for target practice."

"Wouldn't be the first time he came up with that." Iago grumbled, rolling his eyes.

Only to notice a trail of gold and gemstones right on the floor.

"Helloooo, what's this now?" He said as he followed the gems towards an opened door.

Upon entering the room, his eyes nearly popped out when he saw a huge amount of gold coins right in the center of the room.

"Holy guacamole! The motherload!" Iago yelled before running into the room and hugged the coins like his life depended on it. "I'm rich! RICH!"

CLANG!

Click.

"Eh?" The parrot said while noticing the door locked behind him, the sounds of heavy breathing felt against the top of his head as he looked up.

"Grrrrrr."

And saw a massive three headed tiger with bat wings and a scorpion tail staring down at the bird with a hungry look in its eyes.

Especially when the parrot noticed that he wasn't holding any gold anymore within his wings, but the monster's newborn cub.

"Uh...hey there pal, um...cute kid you got here. He's got your...fur."

"GRRRRR!"

"AHHHHHHH!" Iago screamed as Chaos appeared behind the locked door, seemingly smirking to himself as the parrot was mauled by the predator.

"Oh the old 'gold becomes a manticore' trick never ceases to amaze me. Especially when this will keep him occupied for a few hours, maybe less if he somehow gets trapped in its jaws." He chuckled while looking at the screen. "And since he's busy with being a manticore's prey, let's see how Aladdin is doing."

(Some time later)

-Royal Chambers-

The sun slowly began to set on the horizon as Aladdin walked into the room, having relaxed in the baths and called himself a little.

All the while, he thought back on how all the servant girls treated him like one of their own, helping him relax, get the dust out of his hair and made him feel happy...even if he knew he had this effect on everyone, males and females.

Yet for the prince, while it felt nice to be charismatic and a heart throb, it still didn't make him feel like anyone took him seriously enough, especially when he felt trapped in a prison.

One where he knew nothing of the world and had to be handled delicately like a newborn chick, never able to do things on his own.

And when he does go out and nearly get a job as a dancer? It didn't exactly help matters.

Although, that strange woman did save his life, and for some reason she had magic artifacts.

And he recognized one of them, the Winged Slippers of Destane, ruler of the Black Sands, and one of Jafar's many enemies.

But..how exactly DID she get them? Did she steal them from HIM of all people?!

"...nah, no way could she pull off something THAT big." He muttered to himself while taking a seat on the bed, failing to notice the assassin from before sitting right next to him as she examined a gem ornate flower with slight interest. "Destane is way too powerful for a thief to steal from."

"Oh him? Was able to steal some of his rarest treasures, especially after I slipped some deadly nightshade into his food." She said with a chuckle. "Did the world a favor, that guy was a pig in human skin."

"AHHHH!" Aladdin screamed in a high pitched yelp as he jumped off the bed and looked at her with wide eyes. "Y-Y-YOU!? How did you get inside the palace?!"

"I have flying slippers. Kinda easy to get in here." She said with a smirk behind her veil. "So, you're the girl from the marketplace? Huh, and here I thought you were a girl."

Aladdin frowned, crossing his arms as he felt a hint of embarrassment from her rightful accusation. "Well I'm not, alright? I'm just...gifted is all."

"You mean well fed? Because I've never seen a man with a chest like that."

"Shut up! Leave or I'll call the guards!"

"Oh? You'd do that to someone that saved your life? And here I thought the elites had better manners than that." She said with a mock sad tone. "I guess I must leave, sad too. I kinda want to know why Agrabah's royal prince wanted to run away in the first place. You have it all-"

"I don't have any freedom!" Aladdin yelled in anger.

"Freedom? You have everything yet you think freedom is any better than what you have right now? Look at you! You have wealth and power, more than enough to be set for life."

"But I want more in life. I want to make my own choices and experience the world outside the palace walls."

"Trust me, the world isn't meant for you." She looked at him with a frown and stood up, pocketing the gemstone flower in her sleeves. "And after what happened today? If you went out completely naïve on how things work, you'd end up a slave in no time."

"Like you knew-"

"You don't know me." She said coldly as Aladdin lost his confidence at that exact moment. "You know nothing of anything about my life, and you will never know it."

[Oooh, touchy subject for her. Makes sense but I feel like in the next five minutes, they will divulge some aspects of themselves before that parrot returns.]

Aladdin stood there in fear as he saw the woman pushing away the veil a little...revealing the thick and deep scars around her lips as he noticed the same interlocking scale-like tattoos going down her chin towards her chest.

"I live and breathe death, scraping by and surviving in a cruel world you'll never understand. I sleep only an hour at minimum, I feast on anything that will sustain me even if it's rotting, and despite having magic items from across the world I never relax my guard even around children." She said while putting the veil back down. "What I want is what you are willing to throw away. Good food, servants, wealth and a warm bed, all the things you have would have been mine had I not been a 'street rat'. So believe me, oh 'wise' prince, your dream of freedom is less than worthy in my eyes and extremely foolish."

Aladdin flinched as he felt that one hit him, only to see the assassin turning away from him, causing him to feel the bubbling guilt in his heart to rise up like tar. "I...I didn't mean to...I just..."

"Just drop it." She said before walking towards the balcony.

"I-"

"Jasmine."

"Eh?"

"My name is Jasmine, the true identity of Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra." She said before using her slippers to take flight. "Consider this compensation for letting me keep your gemstone flower. If you still seek to escape this place, then you're a fool...but a fool that might be useful to me in the future."

Aladdin blinked as the assassin flew towards him, patted his cheek and winked at him before flying away.

"I'll be back when you least expect it, Princess Aladdin of Agrabah~"

"Hey! It's PRINCE Aladdin!"

"Tell that to your rump!" She retorted before flying away into the clouds, much to the prince's annoyance.

"I am a prince! Not a princess!" He yelled while not noticing Iago limping into the room with half his feathers missing. "A prince!"

"Ooh...I see pretty kitties..." he groaned before plopping down on his beak.

"Grrr." Aladdin growled before seeing Iago and gasped. "What happened to you?!"

"Big...cat...lots...of gold." He groaned before fainting from the pain, making Aladdin panic a little.

"Iago!?"

(Several minutes later)

Knock knock.

"Aladdin. It's time for your next lesson." Jafar called out from the other side of the door, using his staff to get the boy's attention. "I do hope you aren't trying anything drastic in there."

All the while hoping the boy wasn't trying to escape again.

"Uh...no, not really."

"I see." He said while walking into the room. "Today you shall learn about the art of illusions."

"But we already did that."

"Yes, but never with actual smoke." the vizier said calmly. "The first rule of illusion magic is simple, just picture the illusion in your mind. Just don't make it too abstract or something unattainable, those concepts just break the illusion so keep it small and simple."

Aladdin nodded before seeing Jafar raising his staff up and made it stand in the center of the room.

"Second rule, use the smoke, in this case a flame." He said while pointing to the ceiling lamps above. "To give the target a form. Envision the smoke as a cloak the target is forced to wear. And be vigilant, one false step or stray thoughts will ruin the illusion."

"Fine." Aladdin said with a sigh before closing his eyes and tried to follow Jafar's instructions.

Yet as he began to whisper the incarnation under his breath, a pair of eyes stared behind him before forming a mouth and quietly whispered into his ear...in the prince's own voice.

"The thief saw you as a person, not as a suitor." the mouth whispered as Aladdin started to recall Jasmine in his mind. "She disliked you, teased you. Only her, no one else."

As the prince continued to speak the spell, he didn't notice that the smoke coming from the lamps were condensing over the serpent-like staff and taking the form the elite found favorable at the moment.

Unfortunately it was Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra aka Jasmine...stripped down to her bare tattooed body and had a veil covering both her face and her chest.

And Jafar was in disbelief at this turn of events, especially when he realized that the prince MET a criminal when he wasn't looking!

"Prince Aladdin!"

"Huh?" Aladdin said as he snapped out of his trance, the invisible face having left already as the illusion vanished into normal smoke. "What?"

"I said to FOCUS." Jafar frowned while grabbing his staff with his left hand. "But instead you let your fantasies of a known criminal corrupt your mind, ruining the illusions."

"It was an accident!"

"And accidents can get you killed." He retorted with a frown. "And fantasizing over a known criminal wanted in all the Seven Deserts? One associated with the Forty Thieves? Either she tempted you or you thought she was helping you on your little escapade."

"Jasmine didn't do anything to me!" Aladdin yelled as Jafar froze in shock, his expression hidden from the prince due to facing away from him, turning from anger to horrified shock in an instant. "She just found me, that's all. If she didn't save me today then I'd be working as a...ugh, harem girl or something worse."

[Looks like Jafar just recalled something, which, if I were to bet on, was his past. More specifically a name that he almost forgot. Jasmine, the true child of the Sultan. The child he swapped at birth with this boy, the puppet that he'd use to secure his own power. He thought that deal would be left behind in the past. But now? That name came back into his life like a plague of wasps.]

'Jasmine?! The name of that girl from years ago?! I...No, it couldn't be the same one, could it?' He thought to himself as Aladdin sat on his bed with a grumble.

"If anything, she should be rewarded...um, Jafar? Are you ok?"

"I...yes, I'm just fine, my prince." Jafar said before slowly walking out of the room, grabbing the still out cold Iago by the beak. "This lesson is over for now. I have important business to attend to."

"Uh...ok?" Aladdin said in confusion before seeing the door close, making him feel like he just did something wrong...but didn't know what exactly that was.

(Elsewhere)

-Jafar's Room-

"Ugh, what happened?" Iago groaned before noticing he was laying on a pillow, only to see Jafar pacing around the room like a mad man. "Jafar? What are-"

"The child! The child is alive and is in Agrabah right now!"

"Uh...what child?"

"The Sultan's true child!" He yelled before grabbing Iago with both hands. "The one I swapped with that street rat years ago!"

"Eh? Wait, I thought she died."

"So did I! But she's still alive and part of the Forty Thieves, the one that killed Destane, the ruler of the Black Sands! And she's here in Agrabah!" Jafar snapped in fear. "She and the prince met just today but what if she'd here to reclaim the throne, the one I intend to give to the boy as my puppet ruler! She's going to ruin everything!"

[He's half right in that regard. She was here, for a magic weapon auction, not a hostile takeover.]

"Calm down Jafar, she's nowhere in the palace."

"Are YOU sure?! She's a legendary assassin that can enter ANYWHERE, magic or otherwise!"

"Sure I'm sure. She's probably off pilfering some poor schmuck." Iago said with confidence, only to see Jafar giving him a nasty glare. "What?! I'm sure of it! It's not like she is close to Aladdin! I mean she met him for what? One day? Besides, it's more likely that Aladdin would ask for her help the day the Sultan dies or something, or perhaps, and this is a long stretch of a shot by the way, he decides to go on some crazy adventure with the assassin that goes horribly wrong and makes the boy terrified of the world or something."

Jafar stared at the parrot for a second before slowly gaining an evil grin across his lips. "That's it. That's IT!"

"What?"

"We get the boy to go outside the city, with that assassin as a guide, and then when it all goes wrong he'll never again try to flee and will stay in Agrabah! And I have the perfect place for them to visit." the vizier said with a cackle before walking towards a wall to his left and knocked on it.

Clank!

Revealing a secret compartment with two golden scarab pieces that shimmered with a magical aura, something that Iago was flabbergasted by.

"The Cave of Wonders?! But Jafar, that's our last resort plan if the kid rebels against you, and why would he even GET the lamp?!"

"Don't you see? The 'Princess of Thieves' is part of the Forty Thieves, the world's most greedy cutthroats in the Seven Deserts. She won't resist touching the forbidden treasure and once she does, she'll die and Aladdin, with his own magic, can escape and become traumatized by his own guilt."

"And if the kid ends up dead too? What then genius?"

"Then we just kill the Sultan, remember he's just a puppet, I only took care of him out of a decades old deal." Jafar said while Iago felt a little...hesitant about the entire idea. "As long as I get the throne, then what's a few deaths along the way? ...or are you going soft on me, Iago? I mean you ARE his only friend."

"Hey! I ain't soft!" The parrot retorted half heartedly. "I just think the kid doesn't have what it takes to survive the Cave of Wonders, even with your lackluster tutorage."

"Perhaps, but since you 'care' for the boy, I'm making you join him on this 'quest'."

"What?! That's crazy!"

"It's either that or distracting the Sultan. And you do recall how he likes feeding you crackers." Jafar said as Iago looked at him in disbelief. "So go on, get the scarab pieces placed on the bed, I'll be with you with a letter involving his 'quest'. And Iago."

"What?"

"If the lost princess escapes from her tomb, you'll find yourself as a taxidermy full of sand." he warned with a tone that made it clear he wasn't joking around.

The parrot gulped while getting the hint and flew out of the room.

(Elsewhere at the same time)

-Somewhere near the Arabian Coastline, Lair of the Forty Thieves-

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

The waves of the deep sea slashed against the rocky shoreline as the camera zoomed through the rocks, revealing a vast menagerie of ancient ruins, centuries old and decaying from salt, hidden right behind said rocks.

And roaming about the water drenched ruins were various criminals, all members of the Forty Thieves, going about their day either stealing from each other or just honing their unique skills.

All the while a familiar winged cat was sitting on a statue overlooking a long forgotten courtyard with a smirk.

"Ah, the Forty Thieves. The most greedy and savage band of criminals in any timeline, well until their greed overtakes them that is. But right now, this is home to its most famous member, Jasmine, and oh look." He said while seeing Jasmine flying from a nearby hole in the ceiling and landed down on the ground. "There she is now. Although I feel like she's not going to take too kindly to anyone trying to take her magical loot."

Jasmine carefully looked around her, making sure nobody was going to ambush her, before making her way through the ruins, getting noticed right away in the process.

"Oh it's Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra, Cassim's favorite." one of the members whispered to the other.

"The one that steals only magical items and nothing else."

"Think she brought back something good?"

"Maybe, not that she's going to let us have anything."

"And we can't steal from her without getting our leader's wrath."

Numerous thieves grumbled or glared at her as she passed them, but she didn't pay them any heed.

For she needed to report her findings to her father, and perhaps find a new buyer as the last one apparently tried to swindle her.

Yet as she walked past a fallen pillar and quickly entered a hidden passageway, her mind was fixated on one thing.

The prince...ess, of Agrabah, Aladdin. That boy seemed to be an enigma. Feminine yet masculine, spoiled yet knows magic, wants freedom but has no idea what the world truly was.

He just seemed to be a person of contradictions and yet, she felt like something was off about him...yet didn't know what exactly.

'Maybe it's just my imagination, or perhaps that pretty boy is hiding something besides his motherly hips?' She thought to herself before seeing a door with a hand imprint on it and placed her emblem on the indentation.

RUMBLE!

Which opened a secret passageway that led to a hidden harbor long forgotten by time, the darkness that usually permeated the area was nonexistent as Jasmine saw her father looking down from a ledge towards a small pool of water.

And lo, from within the water's depths was an ancient wooden ship...made of pure solid gold.

"Mmmmm." Cassim muttered while rubbing his beard with his right hand, the torch light illuminating his body as his daughter walked behind him like a ghost in the night.

"Father-"

"AH!" He cried out as he swung a broadsword behind him, narrowly missing Jasmine had she not ducked.

"Father, it's just me."

"Oh...Jasmine...don't do that. It's not good for my heart." He said in relief while patting his chest and placed his weapon back in its sheath. "I almost lopped your head off."

"I just came back from Agrabah."

"Oh, and how was it exactly?"

"The weapons were forgeries and all I got was this." She said while pulling the gem coated flower from her left sleeve. "A simple accessory from the palace."

"That was dangerous, you know."

"You always say that when I travel alone. And I can defend myself just fine. Although."

"Although what?"

"I actually met someone strange today." Jasmine said with a smirk. "A boy with the appearance of a hip obsessed harem girl."

"Really now? That's new." Cassim said in surprise.

"Yes, saved him from becoming a harem girl. And he's a prince." Jasmine said while pacing around the cliffside. "Can't recall his name. I know it started with an A."

"Hmmm, an A...?"

"Was it Ali? Amid? I know it's on the tip of my tongue." She muttered before snapping her fingers. "Now I remember! It was Aladdin."

Cassim's eyes widened in shock before he fell to his knees, his left hand clutching his heart in absolute pain.

[Oh dear. That's not good.]

"Father?" Jasmine said before realizing the severity of the situation and ran over to the older man. "Father?!"

"Ah...ah..." he gasped in pain before falling to the ground unconscious.

"FATHER!"

(Some time later)

-Hidden Bedroom-

"Ugh..." Cassim groaned while laying on a stone bed, the raggedy blankets covering him giving little warmth as he saw Jasmine putting hot towels on his forehead.

"Father, please stay still."

"Oooh...Jasmine? What happened?"

"You collapsed, I was able to get you here without the others noticing." She said while Cassim tried to get up but found his legs unresponsive along with his arms. "It seems like the name Aladdin triggered a heart attack...and I want to know why."

"It...It was true...I thought...I thought I misheard you..."

"Father?"

"Jasmine...you must know the truth." he said while closing his eyes. "There's something...I've never brought up with you."

"What are you talking about?"

"...Jasmine...you aren't my daughter." He said while the assassin's eyes widened in shock. "I only adopted you. The prince...was my son..."

"...what?"

"Prince Aladdin...is my...son...I gave him...awa...y..." Cassim said while fading in and out of consciousness.

"What!? Father! Father stay with me!"

"Aladdin...I...m...sorr...y..." he muttered before passing into unconsciousness.

[And just like that, Cassim, King of Thieves, entered the realm of dreams. Hoping to find some small redemption for his past sin, despite how proud he was at his adoptive daughter's independence and drive. Oh how sad, tragic even. But for Jasmine herself, this left her with a lot more questions than answers.]

"..." 'Father...just what sort of past did you have?'

As she stared at the body of her...father, she decided there and then to find out what her past was.

And she knew that Aladdin was the key to everything.

"I have to go back." She muttered before walking out of the room, but not before looking back at her father with worry. "I promise to return soon...father."

As she closed the door behind her, the pair of cat eyes stared at the screen for a bit before vanishing in a puff of smoke, seemingly knowing what will follow next.

(A few days later)

-Agrabah, City Gates-

The moonlight fell upon the quiet and empty city streets as Jasmine touched down from the sky and made sure none of the guards were around as she slipped through a small crack in the nearby wall.

Her mission, to find Aladdin and get him to reveal the truth about their...father's past, even if she had to resort to more 'deadly' acts of 'persuasion' to do so.

She quickly darted through the alleys with ease, barely making a sound as she avoided guards with the stealth of a cat.

All the while not noticing that behind a nearby corner, a young 'woman' was carefully walking around the empty streets as 'her' cloak covered 'her' face from view.

CRASH!

Until they bumped into each other as Jasmine landed face first into the other 'woman's' chest.

"Ah! Hey! Wait-YOU!" Jasmine yelled in shock as Aladdin stared back at her in embarrassment.

"Hi, and can you get off me." He said with a hushed tone, one that felt weird having someone land on him...and his chest.

"You saved me the time looking for you." She said while getting off of the prince.

"Same, but since you found me first...can you tell me why you were looking for me, in the middle of the night?" Aladdin asked while his friend Iago flew onto his head.

"Um, sure, but what's with the sparrow?"

"Parrot, I'm a parrot." the bird said with a glare. "Or is the big bad assassin too thick headed to tell the difference?"

SHING!

And cue several daggers appearing from Jasmine's sleeves and pointed at Iago's neck.

"Says the bird with no self preservation skills. So, care to call me that title again?"

"Eeep! Uh...what I meant to say was...how STRONG and powerful your head is! So much so, it's perfectly natural to let it slip."

"Jasmine, relax. Iago is just overconfident sometimes." Aladdin said as the assassin's knives vanished back into her sleeves. "So why are you here exactly?"

"Because my father mentioned your name."

"Eh?"

"He mentioned your name before he fainted and I'm here to figure out why he called you, 'his son'."

'Oh no.' Iago thought in panic as Aladdin looked at Jasmine in confusion.

"That...doesn't make any sense."

"That's what I thought, so I came here to get answers."

"Well...I have no idea whatsoever but I do have this." Aladdin said while pulling out two gold scarab pieces from his left sleeve.

"Wait...is that-"

"Yep, the key to the Cave of Wonders, where a magic lamp resides."

"The Cave of Wonders, as in the treasure vault of Solomon himself?! Why do YOU have these?!"

Aladdin shrugged his shoulders while Iago whistled a little in the background. "Found them in a drawer on my nightstand, along with a note from my father, my real father, that explains what exactly the magic lamp is...and I think we can use it to solve our problems."

"How exactly?"

"You can wish for answers about our 'shared father' conundrum while I can wish for adventure and wonder!"

"...Aladdin, get your head out of the clouds. Adventure isn't as fun as you'd think it is." Jasmine said with a frown. "Plus the place is cursed, and I doubt you can even survive the guardian's wrath."

"I know magic, and you have magic items." Aladdin deadpanned. "So I think we can work together to get it, right Iago?"

"Uh yup! Of course. Teamwork makes the dream work as they say."

"Mmmm, I don't know. The cave is full of traps."

"T-Traps?" Iago said with a gulp.

"Yes, and it's full of parrot eating monsters." Jasmine said while enjoying Iago's squirming. "All covered in gemstones."

"Uh...you know, when I meant teamwork, I think you two would be far better. I'd just get in your way."

"Are you sure?" Aladdin asked his only friend with curiosity. "I mean once the lamp is found and we use our wishes, you can have the third one."

"Wait what?"

"You heard me, you can have the final wish for anything you want."

"You...You do know that means you don't get it, right? I mean, that's something BIG kid, something you don't just give out all willy nilly."

"Yes, and I'm still giving you that wish." Aladdin said while Jasmine looked at him like he was insane.

"You're giving a wish to a bird?!"

"Yes, but he's also my best friend."

"But he's a BIRD!"

"Am a parrot!" Iago yelled before seeing the knives appear near his face again. "GAAAH!"

"Knock it off, we can discuss this after getting the lamp." Aladdin said while trying to deescalate the situation. "First things first, do you have anything else that can allow me to fly? I never learned how to use air magic."

"No. Only my slippers can fly and I never needed a second passenger...although."

"Although what?"

"I could put you into my cloak. It has infinite space."

"Is it safe?"

"...never tried putting living things in." She said before looking at Iago with a smirk. "But let's test it out on the rat with wings."

"Woah woah woah, let's not get too hasty now."

"Why? Afraid?"

"What no! I'm not scared!"

"Then you can help us."

"What no-" Iago squawked before getting grabbed by the beak and stuffed into Jasmine's left sleeve.

Aladdin flinched in shock when he heard the bird's loud cry which seemed to get farther and farther away with every second. "Um...is he...ok?"

"No idea, want to go next to find out?" Jasmine asked with a chuckle.

"I...I think I'll pass." Aladdin said with a gulp.

"Then I suggest you hold onto me tightly while I fly." She said with a shrug, making the prince stare at her in shock.

"You...You serious?"

"It's either holding on tight or going into my robes. Pick your poison."

"Um...won't you be flustered?"

"About what? Your boobs touching my back?"

"Don't call them that!"

"They are big, full of fat and might get bigger in the future. They are boobs, plain and simple."

"They aren't boobs!"

"Then just climb on my back and prove that you're more prince than princess, Princess Ali~" Jasmine said with a teasing chuckle.

"It's...Prince...Aladdin." he growled through gritted teeth.

"Whatever, princess."

Aladdin growled before grabbing Jasmine's waist and held on tightly, although he failed to realize that she took the scarab pieces when he wasn't looking.

The assassin chuckled before showing off the scarab pieces to the shocked prince and placed them together.

Swiiish!

Causing it to glow a bright gold hue as it suddenly came to life and flew into the desert.

"Hang on!" Jasmine said before taking off into the sky with the speed of a falcon.

"Waaaaaaaah!" The prince screamed in fear as they vanished into the horizon.

(Elsewhere)

-Middle of the Desert-

Shhhiiissssh!

[Just like the canon timeline...but more funny. Oh, I see the two partners, and I think Aladdin is about to puke on Jasmine's head! Oooh, that would be unexpected!]

"Ugh..." Aladdin groaned in pain as he tried to both hold on to Jasmine's back and keep himself from puking on her head.

"Don't you even dare."

"Ugh...sorry...can't hold...ugh!"

"Don't you DARE!"

"I...I-UGH!"

"Oh by Allah WHY!?" Jasmine screamed as the camera cut back, the sound of hacking and gagging echoing across the entire desert like a sick camel's dying breath.

[Oooh, you just lost points that time 'Princess'.]

(A little while later)

"Mmmmmm."

"I said I was sorry." Aladdin groaned while both travelers were currently on the ground, having stopped a few feet away from the...MASSIVE TIGER HEAD OF SAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, as Jasmine was using a red silk cloth to clean off the vomit from her head. "I really didn't expect-"

"Next time, YOU'RE learning wind magic, and that's final." Jasmine said coldly while throwing the dirty cloth into the sands next to her. 'And that was my MOST EXPENSIVE SILK CLOTH! AND FROM THE EMPRESS OF NIPPON'S NECK NO LESS!'

[Welp, that's...sad. Really tragic, losing a cloth that isn't even silk, it's just bamboo paste made...not that she knows.]

The wind brushed against the traveler's clothing as the golden eyed sand construct glared at them with a protective aura around it.

"GRRRRR! Who disturbs my slumber?"

"Um, it is us?" Aladdin said while trying not to be intimidated by the guardian of the Cave of Wonders, and failing. "Um...Aladdin, and Jasmine..." 'EEEK! That thing looks like it's going to eat me!'

"Grrrr. Proceed, touch nothing but the lamp."

RUMBLE!

Aladdin gulped as the sand construct's jaw opened up, revealing a glowing inner throat as its tongue formed a set of stairs that seemed to stretch onwards for miles into the earth.

Yet for Jasmine, the most dangerous assassin in the Seven Deserts, it was just another Wednesday as she began to walk towards the entrance without a hint of fear.

"H-Hey wait a second! The cave might be magically booby trapped!" Aladdin yelled while running towards the entrance and stepped on the first step, which...caused nothing out of the ordinary to happen.

"..."

"Well, that's what the note said anyway. Um..."

"Yeah, look princess-"

"I'm a prince! A prince!"

"Whatever. I've been to many locations with magical traps and this place has none on the outside, just with the treasure." she deadpanned. "As long as we don't touch it, we'll be fine."

"But-"

"Now come on, the lamp awaits." Jasmine said while walking down the stairs, followed by the 'princess' as a pair of cat eyes stared at them from the upper right fang.

[Mmmmm, that felt too easy. Yes, it's designed to be easy, looking at you movie story boardists, but for this? A timeline where Jasmine is the protagonist with all the magic items? Yeah, not going to be interesting if they just go though the same song and dance routine as 'Canon Aladdin' did. Plus, I want to see her entire arsenal, not just half of it. Mmmmm, looks like I have to spice things up a little bit.]

Wooooooosh!

The eyes blinked as the screen began to fill with blue smoke, obscuring everything as everything went dark.

(Elsewhere)

-Inner Entrance Hall-

"Well." Jasmine said while looking around the rather ancient hallway, made of both sand and granite stonework about a few centuries old, her companion staring at the craftsmanship with child-like wonder. "It seems that the legends are true, this architecture was made by King Solomon's genie army. It looks almost freshly cut from the quarry, despite being over a thousand years old."

"You really know a lot about this place."

"I also steal scrolls and tomes involving magical places, I didn't become a thief just with luck alone."

"Oh...so where is the lamp?"

"It's deeper in the cave, you'll know when we see it." the assassin said while pointing to a rectangular entranceway, covered in shadows due to the limited number of touches within said hallway. "Let's go."

The prince nodded before feeling a strange 'sensation' in the air, making him freeze in place for a moment.

"Hey Princess, what's the hold up?"

"It's prince and don't you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"The feeling of unease, like the magic in this place just shifted."

"...what?"

"Right, not a sorcerer. I was taught to 'feel' disturbances in the very fabric of magic, most magic use this to locate safe passage in magical locations or detect magic threats."

"Then why didn't you sense me before? Like three times you didn't sense me."

"Mine isn't developed at all, it takes a lot of practice to make it a conscious skill. But...right now, I feel like something is off, I really don't like it."

"...or you could be having chills. You ARE a palace born noble, it comes with the territory." Jasmine said with a deadpan look in her eyes.

"I'm serious! Something is off about the magic in this place!"

"Mmmmm..." the assassin hummed before placing her entire right arm into her left sleeve, which glowed bright gold as she threw a very traumatized Iago onto the ground with a thud.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH! Holy squawking hell!" Iago screamed in fear while feathers began to molt from his wings, only to glare at Jasmine with hate. "Never do that again!"

"How did you enjoy it, rat with wings?"

"I'm a parrot and of course NOT! It was...was...was like floating in the void with nothing to do but see treasure coming at me like asteroids!" he yelled in anger. "I nearly died a thousand times and I had no sense of direction either! You are one sick son of a camel, you know that right!?"

"Meh, been called worse."

"Why you little-"

"Iago calm down!" Aladdin yelled while picking the bird up and placed him on his left shoulder. "We're here in the Cave of Wonders."

"Wait, what?"

"And I want you to go in there and check the next room." Jasmine said with a smirk. "As I recall, the treasure room is right through that door."

"Treasure!? Oh mama here I c-wait!" Iago yelled before glaring at Jasmine. "This isn't a trick, right?"

"Nope, the treasure is on the other side, but don't-"

"Yeah yeah, no touching the shiny gold and gems." he said while flying through the hallway, followed by Jasmine and Aladdin, who was still feeling a little hesitant about the 'change' in the air. 'Oh this will...mmm, Jafar's plan is going to be the death of me and the kid. I just know it.'

(A few minutes later)

-Chamber of Fire-

"Um, Jasmine." Aladdin said while feeling the air getting warmer and muggy, making him sweat like crazy. "Is it just me or-"

"Yes, it's hot." the assassin said while walking towards the end of the darkened hallway. "I've noticed."

"Oh thank Allah. I thought it was just me." he said while fanning himself with his left hand, his chest dripping with sweat as Jasmine turned towards him and noticed that he had pushed his cloak away from his chest and towards his left arm. "What?"

"You look like a bitch in heat right now."

"Hey!"

"Well you're the one that exposes your chest without shame! If you want to be a princess so badly, why do you expose yourself like that?"

"Because bandages make my skin itch and I LIKE the exposure!"

[True fact, this version of Aladdin is highly allergic to wool and likes having his chest unbound. No one at the palace cared, especially the gals and guys that were infatuated by him.]

"...maybe not letting you become a harem girl was a bad idea." she said with a teasing tone, making the prince glare at her in embarrassment. "I mean you DO have the body and the lack of awareness."

"Keep it up, I might be a beginner sorcerer but I can still punch you."

"And you'd be dead before you even touched my skin. Not going to happen, Princess Ali."

"It's PRINCE ALADDIN!"

"AHHHHHHH!"

Both turned around quickly and saw Iago, tail caught on fire for some reason, screaming in fear as he flew around like a headless chicken.

"What the-"

"Iago!?"

"AAAHHH! FIRE! FIRE!" He screamed before Jasmine grabbed her fishhook, pointed it at him and shot out a blast of seawater at him, sending him right into a wall and extinguishing the flames in the process. "...ow."

"Are you ok!?"

"Ow...kid, that ain't no treasure room. It's a death trap!"

"That can't be right." Jasmine muttered before walking into the room, and saw to her disbelief that the entire room was covered in lava, with several platforms of obsidian floating on said lava as flaming fireballs shot out from the walls and ceiling.

And it doesn't help that the exit was on the other end of the sea of flames either!

"...by Allah."

"Jasmine, what's going-what the!?" Aladdin yelled as he took notice of the fire dominated room in horror. "What happened to the treasure!?"

"I-I don't know, none of the scrolls about this place said ANYTHING about a room made of LAVA!"

[Ain't I a stinker~]

"Welp, time to turn-" Iago tried to say before getting grabbed by Jasmine's left hand and was pushed back into her robes. "Oh god not aGAAAAAAAiiiiiiiinnnnnnn-"

"Jasmine!?"

"What? It's for his own protection, plus his voice was annoying me." the assassin said bluntly before looking at the platforms and then at the prince. "Know any water magic?"

"No, never got that far. I only know about fire, smoke, short range teleportation, sand and the basics of illusion magic."

"So you can't turn your milk into floating water platforms?"

"Milk? What...wait!" Aladdin yelled in embarrassment as he realized the hidden innuendo Jasmine just said. "I might LOOK like a girl but my CHEST doesn't lactate!"

"Odd, some guys can do it in the right circumstances." Jasmine said with a semi serious tone before taking a deep breath and pushed both hands into both forearms.

SIIISH!

And pulled out two large blades that, once she put them together by the hilts, took the form of a massive human sized silver metallic circle with thick flame-like protrusions around the sides and sporting various sapphire cracks in between each 'flame', which caused Aladdin to cover his eyes with his left arm due to the shining reddish black energy emanating from it like a mini sun.

'Wow...wait! She STILL mocked me again! Oooooh! I'll get her back for that one! Mark my words!'

[Oooh, the Chakram of Vishnu, or the Sudarshana Chakra. A very holy relic that not only kills evil, but also protects the user from all threats including fire given the fact it was made from the SUN itself. Ohoho, this Jasmine really has some EX ranked luck when it comes to magical weapons, although I wonder what form of penance it took for her to GET that relic? That chakra is only given through boons, not theft.]

"Mmm, this will do."

"What is that?"

"The Sudarshana Chakra."

"Oh-WAIT WHAT!? You got a gods' personal weapon!?"

"Yep, although it did cost me my hair and ten months of self starvation...while wrapped in bandages and meditating on the world's highest peak." she said with a hint of personal pride, shocking Aladdin greatly as the assassin took flight via her magic slippers. "It was worth it since this can protect us from the fire, just jump on my back and DON'T puke on me again!"

"It was one time and just WHY did you get such a magical weapon!? It's TOO famous for a-"

"A thief like me? Yes, but I wanted to train myself both mentally and physically before I went into the 'family' business. The Forty Thieves are masters of their craft, but I wanted something more...looking back now, I should've just settled down somewhere." she said while looking at her feet. "Somewhere safe."

[Yeah, the life of a thief is never easy, especially for someone like her. Kinda like Aladdin, the one you know from the main timeline that is...but less extreme.]

"..." 'Just what sort of life did she have?'

"Are you getting on or what?"

"O-Oh right!" he said while quickly running towards Jasmine and wrapped his arms around her waist, the assassin ignoring the 'boobs' pressing against her back as she started to spin the chakram around with her left index finger.

WOOOOOSSSSSHHH!

Causing a torrent of reddish black flames to cover them like a circular shield, surprising Aladdin in the process as Jasmine flew into the room, the falling fireballs bouncing off the flames like tissue paper.

[Welp, looks like they'll survive this chamber. Hopefully they will survive the other two rooms as well.]

"Woah!"

"I know, it's a very versatile weapon." Jasmine said before seeing the exit and raced towards it at full speed, making Aladdin nauseous once more. "Hang on!"

"Oh Alla-UGH! Not aga-UGH!"

"Oh don't you DARE!"

'Eeep!' the prince thought in fear as he tried to hold-in the bile in his throat, the screen fading to black as they entered the darkened hallway like a shooting star.

(A few minutes later)

-Chamber of Endless Chills-

Wooosh!

"And we're out of that-"

"UUUUUCK!"

"Oh, right." Jasmine said while Aladdin puked behind her, the chakram re-entering her robes as she turned around and sighed. "I forgot about your motion sickness."

"Ugh...yep, that wasn't fun at all..."

"For a sorcerer in training, you should've had SOME practice flying. Every magic user I've seen or assassinated had that ability down pat already."

"My teacher...not the best at...teaching."

"Oh? How so?"

"He's...overprotective, even with my magic studies. Always making me do the basics and never advancing them." Aladdin groaned while wiping the bile from his lips. "I had to secretly sneak into his laboratory to study the tomes myself while he slept."

"Wait? If you did that...aren't you MORE capable then you let on?"

"Well, yes-"

"THEN WHY DID YOU TELL ME YOU INEPT THEN!?"

"Because I didn't want to fall for the Vanity Trap!"

Jasmine blinked, a little confused by the terminology the prince just used, and tilted her head to the side. "The what trap?"

"The Vanity Trap, it's this weird phenomenon that causes sorcerers and sorceresses that dive too deep into the magical pool, be it studying the ancient tomes, researching a particular spell or magic, or just trying to gain power through magic, to become power hungry, greedy and megalomaniac versions of themselves." Aladdin said with a heavy sigh. "In my studies, I've read all about past and current sorcerers becoming crazy after the Vanity Trap changes them. From Khartoum, who was sealed in a book for trying to become a god, to that headless Caliph Kapok and even the undead obsessed Ayam Aghoul, they all changed once they started getting hungry for more magical knowledge and I don't WANT to become like them, especially when I feel like my teacher is...acting like a possessive hoarder."

[Huh, that's one way to categorize all the evil mages that seem to pop up in any of the timelines starring the Aladdin cast. And here I thought they were just one note pure evil stereotypes that the 90's loved to hate.]

"...oh. I see."

"Look, if I look weak and inexperienced, well...I am all of those things, but I want to learn at my own pace, not get obsessed over a particular subject or quest for knowledge, and I just want to be humble-"

"Which you're not, since I heard stories about you in the marketplace, about you being a player and a heartthrob that nearly started a war at one point."

"I-I-I know but this is different!" He said while Jasmine deadpanned at him. "I know that magic needs to be handled responsibly, so I'm trying to keep my magic competence low so no one thinks of me like a monster or something. When I do see the world after our adventure, I want to be seen as a 'friendly' sorcerer NOT a 'I want to murder an entire village of children' type of sorcerer that most people know about."

"..."

"What?"

"That's...admirable. Still naive and childish, but admirable all the same." she said before turning around and walked towards the next room's entrance way.

"That was...nice."

"Don't expect that all the time, I have a reputation to maintain." she said with a huff.

Siiiish!

Only to get hit with a blast of arctic air, making her shiver as she noticed the entire room was covered in thick sheets of ice that rose all the way into the endless ceiling above them.

And there was NO clear path through the ice at all.

[Say hello to my winter paradise. All on loan from a certain ice ifrit, without his knowing~]

"Crap."

"Wha-"

"There's a wall of ice in the other room, and from the look of it, it's from the frozen north."

"Wait what? But how can the Cave of Wonders even sustain ice? This is a sand construct!"

"Mmmm, Solomon must have added this before his death, in the event that sorcerers somehow got in." Jasmine mused while rubbing her arms, her body shivering from the frigid cold.

[Nope! He did NOT do that, I did. But they don't need to know that, I'm just the narrator with the fidgety paws, I'm not even a thought to these two and they don't need to know that there are millions of people watching them like a kid looking down at an anthill.]

"So how do we even get through that?"

"Well, can't you use fire magic?"

"Only for small bonfires, I really have a bad aim...which kinda led to one servant getting her clothes set ablaze one time." Aladdin said with an embarrassed tone. "I try to use short ranged spells whenever possible because it's better than accidentally hitting someone by accident."

"..." Jasmine sighed, a little annoyed at Aladdin's skillset and a little tired of showing off her arsenal to a complete stranger, cracked her neck, letting the joints pop a little, before raising up both her hands in the direction of the ice.

FOOOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH!

Which caused a torrent of dark green flames to shoot out from the bracelets, melting the ice right down the middle as Aladdin went wide eyed at the sight of this new magical object.

"What in the!?"

[Oooooh, that's a new one.]

"What? Never saw flame producing magic items before?"

"I've seen them in books but I NEVER heard of one that produced green flames!"

"Oh that, I made it."

"...you WHAT!?"

"I made it. Funny story about that one." Jasmine said while walking through the hole in the ice walls, followed by Aladdin as he felt extremely cold at the moment, especially from his exposed chest area. "I once traveled to the lands to the west, past Greece and towards the Green Isles, hunting for a magical staff for my collection. Unfortunately, the owner, a dark fay, didn't take too kindly to the theft and attacked me in the form of a Lindwurm, a type of dragon that looks like a snake mixed with a two armed worm. Lucky for me, I was able to use my hook to bash her head inwards...which destroyed the staff in the process."

"Wait, why?"

"The staff became her horn upon transforming."

"Ah."

"So, seeing that I lost my prize but had a Lindwurm carcass just lying around, I just used my magic forge-"

"You have a what!?"

"Magic forge, stole it from a wizard that tried to cheat me at cards. Anyway, I used the forge to fuse the creatures' teeth, bones, scales, throat sack and the staff shards into these bracelets, which were then drenched into a pool of the creature's own blood to grant it the power to create intense flames. Besides that, it's just a fancy pair of jewelry that can burn anyone in its path, which is an easy way to make people 'disappear' in their homes."

Aladdin gulped while looking at Jasmine in fear.

"Relax, I'm not going to do it to you. I'm not a fan of arson anyway, it's too easy to get other people caught in the flames...and trust me, the smell of burning flesh is repulsing for me." 'That and I'm not THAT sadistic enough to just burn my targets, I'm a master of poison and stealth, NOT a pyromaniac.'

"O-Oh...that's good to know...so do they have a name?"

"Yes, it's called the Bracelets of Wurm."

"...Wurm? Like the worms found in the palace gardens?"

"No, not worm. Wurm. It's a type of dragon that looks like a snake with two legs."

"...to be fair, it does sound similar to worm."

Jasmine rolled her eyes while melting the ice with her magic bracelets, although she did quickly notice that the entire room was much longer than the last one. 'Mmmm, this might take a while.'

[Mmmm, one more to go~ And the last one will be a doozy!]

(Some hours later)

-Chamber of Drakontos-

WOOOOSSSSHHHHH!

"Finally." Jasmine muttered while blasting through the final ice wall, which had extended into the hallway itself, as Aladdin fell on his face from fatigue. "We're out of that frozen...um? Are you ok?"

"No...so...tired."

"Let me guess, this is the limit for you since you're a lazy elite?"

"Hey...I...can walk...normally...just not for...hours." Aladdin groaned while Jasmine shook her head.

"Well, I can survive in the desert for ten days, without my magic weapons."

"...just what did the Forty Thieves teach you!?"

"Lots of stuff, I still have the scars to prove it. But I had to learn how to survive on my own, afterall, not all of us have a roof over our heads."

"...well, once we get the lamp and figure out this whole mystery with your father." Aladdin said while slowly getting up and sat cross legged on the ground. "I promise to give you compensation."

"...you do realize I can just use the wishes to get compensation for myself, right?" Jasmine said with a deadpan tone.

The prince stared at her before facepalming at his own stupidity.

'He's funny when he's trying to be nice.' the assassin thought with a hidden smirk before pulling out Iago out of her sleeve and threw the now unconscious bird onto the ground. "We're going to rest here for now."

"Oh thank Allah!" he said before noticing that Jasmine was dragging him by his cape towards the center of the room, which seemed to be just a large empty room with a granite floor covered in cuneiform that extended upwards towards a square hole in the ceiling. "Hey!"

[Ah, a safe zone. A staple of all video games and dungeons filled with magic. Nothing can possibly go wrong here...right?]

"So." she said while letting go of the prince's cape and sat down on the ground beside him. "You've been curious about my life so far."

"Well, yeah. You are the mysterious Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra, the assassin that makes even sorcerers run away in fear. Of course I would be curious."

"Mmm, well I'm also curious about you."

"Oh...how so exactly?"

"I'm just curious about how you, a man with a body any woman would love to have, would be so...knowledgeable about magic but not the state of the wider world. You did tell me you are trying to act humble, yet your actions seem to contradict them. So...I want to learn about you and in exchange, you get to know about me." Jasmine said while looking at the stunned Aladdin. "Consider it a business transaction between potential associates."

"...well ok, but can you please stop calling me Princess? I have an image to maintain."

"Yeah, no promises there. It's too easy of a nickname to just discard." the assassin said with a teasing tone, making the prince groan in annoyance. "Especially when you act more girly than a real princess."

"Uuuuuuggggggggghhhhhh!"

[Don't worry Aladdin, she's just showing her softer side. Which is rare for her as that side of her is only reserved for her daddy dearest, no one else. Although, it could be the fact that the 'princess' body is making her lower her guard a little...he DOES have that effect on people, on both sides of the gender pool.]

"Anyway, what do you want to know about me?"

"Mmm." Aladdin hummed while rubbing his chin before looking at the unconscious body of the talking parrot. "Well, before we do that...is Iago ok?"

"Him? He'll live, traumatized maybe but alive. But why are you even friends with that bird?"

"Well, he's been my only friend ever since I was born. My guardian found him in a village during his travels and found him being used by a pirate as their 'bird accessory', so he bought him and, after a little 'experimenting', gave Iago the ability to speak and think like a human."

"Ah, so he is a familiar?"

"Not exactly. Iago is more like a...talking animal. Not the natural kind, the artificial ones that most sorcerers make for fun."

"Don't they last only a year?"

"Not Iago, the magic spell placed on him was so potent and experimental that according to my guardian, he'll last until he reaches five hundred years."

"...so he's just a parrot with a longer lifespan?"

"Yep."

"...that's boring."

"Hey!"

"I'm just saying, most talking animals I've seen have magic powers to compensate for their flaws."

"Well, Iago is crafty and intelligent. That's something right?"

Jasmine shook her head in annoyance while giving the parrot a death glare, her dislike for the bird only intensifying in her mind.

[Welp, seems even in this timeline, Jasmine hates Iago like a plague infested rat. Can't win the likeability lottery all the time.]

"So, how DID you get that robe? I've never seen one like that before." Aladdin asked while pointing to the assassin's attire.

"Simple, I found this."

"Found it?"

"Yes, I found it in a shop, almost eaten away by moths and nearly at the brink of destruction. So I bought it for only two dinar, repaired it by using pure silver and gold foiled thread, and have been using it ever since." Jasmine said with a sigh. "That and it...keeps some of my secrets hidden from prying eyes."

"...huh, and here I thought you got it after stealing from a temple or something."

"Not all my adventures are exciting and full of assassinations. Sometimes I'm a 'law abiding' citizen."

"You? An abiding citizen? The woman that assassinated the Ruler of the Black Sands? The assassin that murders fay? The one person in the Seven Deserts that defeated an entire kingdom of necromancers with a fork? I don't see that at all."

"I never did the last one."

"Rea-"

"I defeated the necromancers with a spoon. It's a surprisingly deadly weapon when it comes to a person's eyes." Jasmine said with a sadistic chuckle, which made Aladdin shiver in fear.

'Oh dear...that's unnerving.'

[Ah...and so they talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and TALK! Ugh, that's just SO BORING! So I'm just going to speed the clock up before I fall asleep.]

(Three hours later)

"And that's how I got the Fishhook of Maui." Jasmine said while leaning against Aladdin's left shoulder. "It was...rather ridiculous in hindsight."

"Well, tricking a god of tricks into transforming into a fish and threatening to EAT him doesn't sound ridiculous. It sounded like...blackmail."

"To you maybe, but it was either my survival or my death at the hands of a crafty god." she deadpanned while shaking her head. "Especially when YOU nearly seduced the Khan of the Golden Horde with that body of yours."

"It was an accident that got WAY out of hand!"

"Yet you told me you enjoyed the night and...discovered the fascinations of both genders, am I correct?" Jasmine said with a smirk as Aladdin looked away in embarrassment.

"...I shouldn't have told you that."

"But you did, and I'll remember that for a very looooong time~"

[Mmmmm, such a cute scene. They are acting like old pals, a small departure from their previous interactions...then again, they are the only two people in the room, friends are made in places like that. Although, I'm kinda bored of their talking, not saying it's bad, but this chapter is getting long and this is just fluff at the moment. SO! I'm going to get them out the door and into the final bouts of this adventure.]

The camera slowly zoomed upwards towards the hole in the ceiling as a pair of cat eyes, along with a grinning mouth, stared down at the two 'adventurers' with an amused look in its eyes.

"Now." the headless face said as a small blue tear opened up next to it and began raining down several million large white fangs towards the ground below. "It's show time!"

CLANK!

CLANK!

CLANK!

CLANK!

"GAH!"

"What the-OW!" Aladdin yelled while the fangs landed all around the duo's feet, although Jasmine was able to block them with her arms, the magic fabric 'absorbing' them like candy in the process. "What is going on here!?"

"I don't know but this might be a trap so stay on guard."

The prince nodded while the hailstorm of fangs started to die down, leaving about an inch of 'snow' on the ground.

"..."

"...so, what are these?"

"Mmm, it looks like the fangs of some kind of beast. But I don't know what exactly." she said while picking up one of the fangs with her left hand. "Although...they seem somewhat familiar, like I've seen these before."

"...yeah, looking at them now. I think I saw something in one of the tomes back at the palace, but I can't recall what."

Cink.

The two adventurers blinked, their ears perking up from a sudden noise within the room, as they looked down and...

Saw the teeth burying into the stone like sentient seeds, each one glowing a faint red color before vanishing into the now hole covered floor.

[And so the fun begins.]

"What in the?" Both adventures said at once as the ground began to shake and the holes started to glow a dull red color.

{Insert Kingdom Hearts OST: Arabian Dream}

CLUNK!

CLUNK!

CLUNK!

And lo, jumping out of the holes and landing on the ground with a loud thud came thousands upon thousands of clay-like genderless mouthless humanoids with skeletal-like protrusions erupting from their bodies like spikes and glowing red eyes, surrounded the duo like an army of ants, each one holding a shield and sword made of pure bones.

"Crap, those were dragon teeth!"

"Wait, you mean the ones that produce Spartoi!?" Aladdin yelled in horror as the army of dragon born creatures began pointing their weapons at them. "The murderous and extremely bloodthirsty warrior monsters!?"

"The very same." she said as a certain red parrot started to wake up right next to her feet.

"Ugh, what just...AHHHH!" Iago screamed as he quickly flew into the air and landed on Aladdin's left shoulder. "What's going on here!?"

"Spartoi!"

"What!?"

[Oh ho ho ho! This is going to be fun. Hopefully this won't become a bloodbath.]

"Kid! Please tell me you can use those potions to distract them!?"

"I don't think that'll slow them down at all and I only have twenty of them, not enough to even HURT one of them!"

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"..." Jasmine grumbled in annoyance as the Spartoi began moving towards them, each step getting quicker and exerting enough force to crack the ground under their semi liquid-like bulk.

And she knew that there wasn't any time or room for many of her magical items, especially with two companions with her.

So...after a few seconds of compilation, she decided to use...that power.

"Aladdin." Jasmine said while quickly pulling out her chakram and gave it to the prince. "Under no circumstances are you allowed to drop this, do you understand!?"

"Y-Yes! But what are you-"

"I'm going to clear a path to the exit." she said while pointing to the hallway on the other side of the room. "You and the bat need to make a run for it, I'll join you afterwards."

"Again, I'm a parrot-"

"Shut up and get out of here!"

"Ok ok! Let's go kid!" Igo quickly said, in fear of the assassin's tone, as both bird and prince, protected from the attacking Spartoi and their weapons via the impenetrable fire 'shield', quickly ran towards the exit.

SWIISH!

Crackle!

All the while, Jasmine, now sporting two large dark gold draconian-like gauntlets with five thick claw-like blades in between each finger that seemed to connect to her skin via the low glowing crimson tattoos, began slashing the enemies around her, each strike quickly transforming each into a stone statue from the wound outwards like a infectious rash.

[Ooooh, the The Talons of the Shi Long, a specialized bagh nakha that was once a normal weapon until our residential assassin here coated it with the venomous blood of a Shi Long or Stone Dragon. One touch will turn anything into stone, including other supernatural creatures.]

SLASH!

Crackle!

BOOOM!

"Ahh! Keep running kid!"

"But I can help-"

"Kid, you're NOT ready for this! The Spartoi are WAY TOO dangerous!"

"But-"

"Just zip it and RUN!"

[The parrot is right about one thing...it isn't the time for assistance or brave heroics. It is the time for flight, and in about ten seconds, Jasmine is going to unleash her most powerful magic item. Oh I wish I got popcorn for this moment.]

SWISH!

CRACK!

'Seems like they're far enough away...ugh. I really hate using this power, it always makes me weak afterwards...but it's either this or our deaths.' she thought to herself while cutting the head off one of the Spartoi, its body turning into stone instantaneously. 'So...I need its power.'

SWISH!

CRACKLE!

As the Spartoi began to move closer towards the assassin, despite their numbers dwindling, Jasmine's tattoos started to glow a crimson red, revealing to the world a body tattoo in the form of a demonic humanoid with two snake heads on the shoulders.

"I summon thou from the soul of man, come forth and consume thy enemies per the pact of thy defeater." Jasmine chanted loudly as the tattoo began to pull itself off of her skin, its form now revealed to be a flaming yet charred skeleton sporting long five clawed rat-like nails, thick scales that interlocked with the bones like armor plating, thick mandible-like appendages around the middle head's jawline, two enormous draconian heads with three burning red eyes and two curved horns, and a singular hole sporting numerous cracks in the center of the middle head, whose otherworldly aura began to increase the temperature in the room as thick golden chains covered its torso and dangled downwards towards the ground like resting vipers. "Come forth, Zahhak, scourge of the ancient world and sorcerer king of all demons!"

"Ahahahahahahahaha! Release from the flesh at LAST!"

[Ooooh, an old colleague of mine. Zahhak, the ancient god-like scourge of the ancient world, killer of men, eater of brains and the being fated to bring the end of days in the Zoroastrian and Persian mythos. We used to go WAY back, he causes some chaos and I get some action. Unfortunately, he caused TOO much chaos for my liking and Fate decided to send a hero to brutalize him via a bull shaped mace to the face and chain him in a mountain for a few thousand years or so. Now in any other timeline, he's still there until the end of days, in this one however...Jasmine found and defeated him in combat, and before you say that's crazy and Mary Sue of her, she DIDN'T know he was in that mountain, was underprepared and just starting out, must more cocky then her current self, AND she was so burned on the arms, hips, legs and parts of her back that after sealing him in her own body she HAD to wear her signature robes so no one finds out. I mean she is housing a deity of pure sin and evil on her skin and her body IS covered in third degree burns...it kinda gives her an incentive to not wear revealing clothes like most alternative versions of Jasmine.]

"Consume them, oh great lord of the world."

"Mmmm, Spartoi huh? I haven't tasted such a meal in many a moon. And an army as well? I can see how the 'great' Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra would find this too much for her." the entity chuckled mockingly as the Spartoi looked at the entity with 'fear' on their faceless heads. "Very well, this is sufficient payment for my 'services'."

Woooossssh!

And in a quick second, a wall of flames erupted from the entity and began to overtake the entire room, melting the Spartoi into sludge before each one was consumed by the twin serpent heads, leaving nothing left alive as Aladdin and Iago, who were both at the exit and protected from the flames by the chakram, watched on in horrified shock at the entity's meer presence.

"Yes! YES! FRESH MEAT! FLESH SOULS!"

[Ah, just like old times. Efficient, bloody and barbaric. Had these been real humans instead of just clay constructs given form by dragon teeth...this would've been akin to one of those hack and slash games, the REALLY bloody ones to be exact. And all Jasmine needs to do is feed it the very souls and flesh of her opponents to give said opponents a 'fate' worse than death.]

WOOOOSSSSH!

Squish!

CRUNCH!

CRUNCH!

'I really hate summoning him...but it was either this or getting killed.' The assassin thought as the last Spartoi was consumed, the walls of fire extinguishing themselves on the spot as the entity looked at her and gave her a twisted smirk that made her nearly puke in disgust.

"Another meal, prepared by you, oh 'Slayer of Gods'. Exquisite. I do hope you give me another meal...for your soul's sake that is." the entity cackled before getting reabsorbed into Jasmine's body, the glowing red tattoos fading away as the assassin fell to her knees, exhausted and panting a little.

"Jasmine! Are you ok!?"

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..."

"Jasmine!?"

"She's fine kid, but holy hell! Just how did she even GET that power!?"

"Wait, you KNOW what that was?"

"Kid, I've been with Jafar for a while and I know a few things, but not even a novice con artist would NOT know about that monster! That's Zahhak, the ancient demon sorcerer and the KING of demons!"

"What!? But the legends-"

"Yeah but apparently the assassin here somehow got into a magical pact with that monster! And THAT'S terrifying!"

"Ah...ah..." Jasmine groaned before slowly standing up and walked towards the prince, giving Iago a twinge of fear in the process as she took back her weapon and placed it into her robes. "...tell no one about this."

"Like we want to!" Iago snapped in fear. "Why would we-"

"You be quiet." she said with a cold tone, causing Iago to clam up tightly as she looked at Aladdin. "...just don't tell anyone, this power is my curse. No one needs to know about it."

"But-"

"The Pact of Zahhak must stay hidden from the world, for I only use this as a last ditch effort for survival. Until now, no one has lived to learn my shame, and you must keep it that way...or I shall kill you on the spot." the assassin said as Aladdin, upon seeing the fear and shame in her eyes, nodded in agreement. "...thank you."

"Jasmine, how did-"

"I was arrogant when I finished my training and thought I could steal the blood of Zahhak from his prison...but I didn't have the skills or weapons needed to actually defend myself properly, especially when he tricked me into breaking the chains. Had he not been weakened from his imprisonment and had I not tricked him into single combat instead of running away, I would have died that day." she said while gripping both of her sleeves tightly. "So many burns, so many cuts, so much of my blood spilt on that unholy ground...yet somehow I was able to disarm him and pin him to the ground. He...no, it, saw potential and offered me a pact. I gained his powers and the ability to use him against my enemies in exchange for the souls and flesh of the slain. If I don't or attempt to summon him without any enemies, he shall consume my soul...and it's been like that for years, my robes obscuring both my injuries and my tattoos from the world, lest they brand me a monster or worse, see me AS Zahhak reincarnated."

"..."

"..."

"It will not be removed from my body until death, and until then, I keep Zahhak restrained until needed. That's one of the reasons why I hunt for magical weapons, to find something that will either bind him to my soul forever or extend my life to prevent his return."

"Why not use the lamp to wish Zahhak out?"

"He is more powerful than a genie, he's a god. I doubt the lamp could fix my condition...but thanks anyway."

Aladdin nodded before turning towards the next hallway. "...so, moving on from this...you know."

"Yeah, let's just find the lamp and figure out the mystery of our apparent connection to my father. The issue of Zahhak is for another day, another time." '...I did hope that the lamp could free me from this pact...but that's foolish. The pact will remain for now, and our original quest must be completed.'

"Alright...so what's in the next room? Because I'm tired of all these traps."

"Perhaps you're just tired because that giant ass you have is making your walking harder?"

"HEY!"

"But I do think the next room is the treasure room."

"Treasure!? Oh baby, that's my kinda room!" Iago said with a grin as he flew off of Aladdin's shoulder and flew down the hallway. "What are we waiting for!? Let's go!"

"Wait!" Jasmine yelled while running after the bird. "That room is cursed!"

'Oh Iago, you and your love of gold is going to kill us one day.' Aladdin thought with a sigh before running after the two companions.

(A few minutes later)

-Treasure Chamber-

"YES! LOOK AT ALL THAT MOOLA!" Iago screamed with joy as he flew into the room, which was covered from floor to ceiling with the treasures of the ages, from gold to precious gemstones, and attempted to grab one of the gemstones.

Only to get grabbed by the tail by Jasmine, who gave him a serious glare that scared him a lot.

"The treasure is CURSED! If you touch anything, then we're going to incur the wrath of the Tiger God."

[Just like the monkey did in the main timeline...speaking of which, Abu is still with that group of thieves...and currently stuck in the Destiny Stone. Oh boy, they are going to have some enemies once they get out, especially when Jasmine kinda owes them a few hundred dinar at poker.]

"O-Oh...right...hehe..."

Jasmine shook her head as she and Aladdin walked around the room, looking for the lamp and the means to solve the mystery of their shared past.

Yet as they marveled at the treasure once owned by King Solomon himself, none of them noticed that in the far corner of the room, a long dark purple rug with gold tassels and lining sporting gold red eyed tiger patterns on the inner edges along with light crimson flame-like patterns and other assorted yet abstract patterns of light purple and gold, was resting on the floor, almost out of place within the gold covered chamber.

And it was slowly starting to rise up and stand upwards like a human being...wait WHAT!?

"Wow, look at all the gems." Aladdin muttered while not noticing the carpet flying above his head. "This could help stabilize Agrabah for years."

"Or ruin the economy." Jasmine deadpanned. "Besides, it's-"

"Cursed, I heard you."

"I was just reminding the pigeon about it, he's greedy as any thief."

"I'm NOT a pigeon, I'm a parrot!" Iago yelled before the carpet pulled one of his tail feathers out. "YEOW!"

Jasmine blinked before noticing the carpet and went wide eyed in surprise. "Wait, is that...by Allah."

"What?" Aladdin asked before looking up and saw the carpet as well. "Woah! Is that-"

"Yes, a magic carpet. And from the design of it, it must be a Khuriya creation."

"And it STOLE my tail feathers!" the parrot yelled while grabbing the feathers from the magical construct and glared at it. "You are so on my hit list now."

The carpet seemingly 'shrugged' its 'shoulders' before seeing Aladdin and hid behind a pillar, 'staring' at the adventures with curiosity and a hint of shyness.

"Huh, a shy one." Jasmine mused while rubbing her chin, seemingly considering 'acquiring' a new magic item for her collection. "Definitely a Khuriya creation, he was known to make sentient carpets with personalities."

"Yeah, unfortunately he's been dead for centuries." Aladdin said before looking at Jasmine. "So, are you going to take it?"

"Maybe, but I already have my magic slippers for flight and it's...too noticeable for my line of work." she said while the carpet drooped down in disappointment. "But I think it might be something YOU might want, princess."

"Really? And it's Prince Aladdin, not Princess."

"Whatever Princess Ali." she teased before beckoning the carpet towards her with her left hand. "Come on, none of us will harm you. You're safe with us."

The carpet slowly moved away from the pillar and 'stared' at the group before flying towards them and poked Iago on the beak.

"Hey! Watch the beak!"

"So, want a magic carpet?" Jasmine asked the prince with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I don't have any wind magic so...a magic carpet would look nice, especially during diplomatic matters."

"So using it to woo the prince and princesses?"

"Yes-Wait no! I'm not-"

"You're the person that likes to show off, especially with that body-"

"Can we just focus on the lamp instead of my ass!?"

"Right." the assassin said before noticing the carpet pointing towards the right side of the room...where another exit laid undisturbed and unnoticed by the party of treasure hunters. "And I think this carpet will show us the way, right?"

The carpet 'nodded' before flying away towards the exit, followed by the adventures as a pair of cat eyes appeared behind Iago and followed him as well.

[The climax of this adventure is almost over...but will Iago resist the final cursed treasure or no? Who's to say, but it will be entertaining nonetheless.]

(A few minutes later)

-Lamp Chamber-

Jasmine slowly looked up from her location near the hallway's exit, her eyes widening as she noticed the room itself, which was made of a dark blue limestone and had a pillar of calcium in the center of a massive pool of water.

And, to her relief, there were a few stones dotting the lakeside that made a pathway towards the built-in stairway, as a pillar of light shone over the pillar's top like a beacon of hope.

"This is..."

"The Lamp Chamber." Aladdin said with joy. "And the lamp must be on the top of the pillar!"

"I'll get it." Jasmine said while walking towards the shoreline.

"Wait, why?"

"You're sweating like a pig, look ready to pass out and I really don't think it would be a good idea for a 'princess' to activate a booby trap by mistake." she said while Aladdin, although annoyed at her princess comment, decided to heed her words and take a seat on the cold limestone floor. "Just keep an eye on the room, just to be safe."

Yet as Jasmine began to jump on the stone towards the pillar, a pair of cat eyes and fanged mouth slowly moved towards Iago's head and whispered into his left ear.

"Hey, look behind you."

"Eh? What?" the parrot said before turning around, not seeing the disembodied body parts vanishing into nothingness.

However...what he DID see was a massive golden ape idol with a flame-like wheel around its back and a massive ruby gemstone the size of an ostrich egg in booths of its outstretched hands, seemingly beckoning the greedy bird into...'borrowing it'.

"...shiny~!"

"Eh?" Aladdin said while noticing Iago flying towards the gemstone, which caused him to panic and grab the parrot by the head. "IAGO NO!"

"Mmmmm! MMMMM!"

"Everything BUT the lamp is cursed! Don't do it!"

"Mmmmmm!" Iago yelled in a muffled tone while Carpet 'sighed' in relief.

[Drat, that didn't work...oh well. Not every timeline needs an intense chase scene.]

'Dumb bird.' Jasmine thought to herself as she used her slippers to fly upwards towards the pillar's top, only to see a golden bronze lamp resting in its center. '...huh, I actually thought it would be made of silver or something, but this works.'

"MMMMMMM!"

"Don't you even do it!"

"MMMM!"

'I better get down there and put the bird into my robes, as a precaution.' she thought before flying towards the group and summoned her knives, which hovered around Iago's head. "Stay away from that gemtone or I'll keep you in my robes permanently, and I know you hate being in that void."

And as quick as a lightning bolt, Iago nodded at the assassin as his eyes dilated inwards in fear, allowing Aladdin to let go of his head and look at the now acquired lamp with pure awe.

"So, that's...the lamp?"

"Yes."

"...so who gets to wish on it first?"

"Mmmm, definitely not the seagull."

"WHAT!? I'm not a seagull!" Iago yelled in anger before noticing the daggers floating closer to his neck. "I-I mean I'm a seagull! A seagull!"

"Well, I did say I was going to give him my third wish." Aladdin said with a shrug. "So I'm fine if you do the wishing first."

"...how about we wish at the same time, if we do that then perhaps we can get six wishes between the two of us?"

"Is that even...legal, for a genie that is?"

"Who knows, but I think the plan might work in our favor." Jasmine said with a hidden smirk. "So, on the count of three we rub the lamp at the same time, got it?"

"Yep."

[Well, this will be interesting. I don't think anyone ever tried making a wish on a genie lamp at the same time...well except for that 80's version of Scrooge McDuck and Flint Glomgold, but those events were wiped away from that continuity's canon so I guess this is the only time it happens then.]

Aladdin quickly put his left hand onto the lamp along with Jasmine, who used her right hand, and nodded at the assassin with a determined look on his face. "One."

"Two."

"Three!"

And lo, once the two adventurers began to rub the lamp at the same time, its metal surface began to glow a bright red, followed by it jumping around in their hands like a wild dog, spewing sparks of yellow and purple in every direction.

WOOOOOOSSSSHHHH!

Then, in a quick instant of time, a large cloud of blue smoke began to rise from the spout, slowly taking up the entire chamber's space as a loud yell was heard from within the smoke cloud.

[So dramatic, it even makes Maleficent's appearance look like a party trick.]

"aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! OI!"

Both human and parrot blinked as a tall light blue skinned man with short black hair that was tied into a small ponytail, black eyes, pointed ears, a thin black beard with a tiny swirl on the chin, a small gold hoop earring on the right ear, two gold bracelets, a red sash, and sporting a wispy-like tail, appeared from the smoke cloud, seemingly having a neck cramp all of a sudden.

"Ten thousand years can give one such a cramp in the neck." the genie said while twisting his head around, screaming as he did it, as Jasmine raised an eyebrow and whispered into Aladdin's ear.

"This is a genie?"

"Apparently."

"...I thought he would be more..." Aladdin said while he trailed off a little, watching as the genie and carpet started to give a secret 'handshake', seemingly knowing each other to the adventures' surprise.

"Dignifying?"

"Yeah. But I guess that this one's the black sheep of the family."

"Um, what are you two ladies whispering about?" the genie asked curiously, getting the attention of the two adventurers.

"Ugh! I'm NOT a lady, I'm a prince!" Aladdin yelled while the supernatural entity raised an eyebrow at him.

"Are you sure? You do have the buns-"

"I just LOOK like a woman!"

"It's true." Jasmine said while Aladdin sighed in relief. "She is a woman, she's just a little delirious from the trip here."

"JASMINE!"

"I see." the genie said with a nod before pointing at the two with his right index finger. "So which one of you is my master?"

"Both of us." the duo said at once, surprising the entity greatly.

"Oh...wait, that's a thing?" the genie said before pulling out a turquoise book from out of nowhere and started to read from it with a pair of circular glasses. "Mmmmm...oh. Well, under the Code of the Genie Page 1,001, Subsection 2, Paragraph 8, it is possible for a genie to have more than one master as long as said masters gain the divided total of the Three Wish Rule. So...given the fact we have two people that rubbed my lamp, you get three wishes each."

[Fun fact, I was the author of that rule book. Something Fate made me do after I 'accidentally' started a Genie Civil War in one timeline...which I deny by the way. I wasn't the one that started it, I just introduced the first genies to the idea of atomic weaponry warfare.]

'Which is what we were going to ask for to begin with.' Jasmine thought with a deadpan expression.

"Just fair warning, I can't wish others dead, bring back the dead...ugh." the genie said as his face turned a sickly shade of green for a second. "And I can't make anyone fall in love. Other than that, I'm at your command, oh masters."

"Mmmmm, ladies first?" Aladdin said to the assassin, seemingly wanting to act like a polite nobleman for a change.

"Really? But that line of thinking won't work since we are both girls."

"I'm not a girl! I'm a man trying to be polite to you!"

"I'm teasing, really now, I'm trying to lighten the mood a little." Jasmine chuckled as Aladdin pouted a little bit.

'Still not funny, at all.'

"Anyway, I do have some wishes."

"Great, so what is it and I'll let my phenomenal cosmic powers do the rest!" the genie said while flexing his arms, which somehow turned into a bodybuilder's arms.

POP!

Only for said arms to deflate and turn into noodle arms.

"Hehe...forget you saw that."

"Alright, perhaps a test wish. To see if it does work." Jasmine said playfully before winking at Aladdin and then looked at the genie. "Ok, for my first wish. I wish that Aladdin's chest was as big as his rump."

"Wait WHAT!?"

"...as you wish, one body modification wish coming right up." the genie said as he gained a lab coat and white frizzly hair before he pointed a dark blue energy gun in his right hand.

ZAP!

And blasted the apprentice sorcerer with a bolt of blue lightning, which caused his chest to expand from a B cup to a massive K cup chest instantaneously.

Boing boing~

"H-HEY!" he yelled in embarrassment as his chest jiggled a little, which made him glare at the assassin as he made no attempt to cover it. "Warn me next time!"

"Wait, you're not embarrassed?"

"I am! But I've been USED to letting my chest air out...but NOW!? I have to bind them or I'll be ogled at even more!"

"Didn't stop those dignitaries from doing that already." Iago said while holding a snicker. "If anything, they'd love ya even more."

"Iago!"

Jasmine shook her head with amusement before looking at the genie. "Is it possible to add to the wish a little?"

"Mmmm, normally no but since this wish might make...him resent you for a while, I'll make an exception." the genie said before pulling out a long gold lined white cloth from in between his palms and presented it to Aladdin. "This special one of a kind cloth is made from the same material as a genie's clothes, 100% cosmic yak wool and will be guaranteed to never tear, break, or get dirty or your money back!"

[And it's capable of hiding anything within 'hammer space'. Quite handy for female genies or male genies with a rather 'big' dong stuck in their pants. No really, they keep bells in there. Would I lie~?]

"Mmmm." Aladdin grumbled while grabbing the cloth and began tying it around his chest, which shrunk back to normal size, as he gave Jasmine a nasty glare. 'I'll remember this.'

"And with that, you have two wishes left, master number two." the genie said with a smirk. "So think carefully now."

"Mmmmm, what to do, what to do. So many choices, mmmm."

"Wait! I'll go next!" the prince said quickly while turning towards the genie. "And I wish Jasmine's ass was just as big as mine!"

"...ok." Jasmine said with a shrug, making the prince stare at her in shock. "I really don't mind that wish, it will help with MY assassination jobs, plus my robes are VERY concealing~"

"..."

"Did not see that coming, but as you wish, master number one." the genie said while zapping Jasmine with the same raygun as before.

ZAP!

And in a flash of blue lightning, for a brief moment, jasmine's ass expanded to three times it's normal size, which was about the prince's size, before the robes began to 'shrink' the extra rump down to its normal size, baffling both Iago and Aladdin in the process.

[Ah, so that robe works like the bandages. Well it does have 'hammerspace' properties too so that's expected to happen.]

"..." 'Damn it! My wish was wasted!'

"Oh right, I almost forgot the reason why we're here." Jasmine said while Iago started to sweat a little bit, knowing the plan was completely ruined and that he was going to be STUFFED with sand if he returned to Agrabah at this point. "Genie-"

"Yes, that's my name."

"...what?"

"Yeah, my name is Genie, the genie."

"..."

"What? My mother wasn't that good with names, nor was my father, nor his father's father-"

"OK! Ok, ok...let's just move on. Genie, I wish that you reveal our pasts. I want both me and the princess to know how we got to this point."

"Prince and yes, please help us."

"Wait, why would you want to know the past? Haven't you experienced it already?"

"Yes." Jasmine said with a nod. "But we both learned that a man named Cassim, my father, knows the prince of Agrabah, yet I didn't know him at all until just recently. I want YOU to help resolve this little dilemma by showing us our past and revealing HOW my father is involved in all of this."

"Ah, that makes more sense." Genie said while snapping his fingers, causing a large red couch to appear under the travelers along with a large box of popcorn in each of their hands, as an old styled celluloid film projector appeared in front of them and started playing on one of the cave's many walls. "Enjoy the popcorn and let's watch some films!"

[Ooooh...yeah, not to spoil any film fan's love of the old rubber hose style of animation about to play out but this chapter is getting long enough and I don't like bloated explanations of things you, the readers, already know about. So I'm pushing the fast forward 'button' on this before I get bored. And I hate boredom.]

(Several hours later)

[Ah! Much better and looky here, the princess and prince are now up to speed...and they don't look happy about this at all.]

"..."

"..."

"Well, that's a downer...want more popcorn?" Genie asked the silent duo with an awkward smile, wanting to make sure his masters were ok and not mentally unstable...which sometimes happens when his masters asked for 'forbidden' knowledge. "Soda? Cheese pretzels?"

"That...That cowardly SNAKE!" Aladdin screamed in rage as he threw the popcorn box at the ground and started to pace around the room in fury. "I knew he was greedy and a bad teacher but I trusted HIM! He was my guardian! But HE was just USING ME! Using me...as a PUPPET! FOR HIS OWN GOALS!"

"...my father...willingly traded him...for me? Me? A sultan's daughter!?" Jasmine growled while grabbing her daggers and threw them at a nearby stalactite, slicing it into pieces in the process. "I had a mother! A...father...and...I was stolen! I could've had a warm bed! Fresh food! The protection I desired when I was a child! But...that Jafar...that...heartless cur!"

"HE RUINED EVERYTHING!" Both adventurers yelled at once before looking at the other and slowly tried to calm down, only to turn towards Iago with renewed anger.

"W-Wait-GAH!"

"You knew about this!" Aladdin growled while holding the parrot in his hands. "Yet you didn't tell me!"

"Gah...it's...complicated-GAH!"

"You were my FRIEND! My ONLY friend! And you kept this from me for years!"

"L-Look! I get you're not exactly trusting of me anymore...but Jafar is crazy sometimes! He told me if I ever revealed the truth to you, I'd be taxidermied!" Iago gasped while looking rather guilty at the moment. "I really did think of you as a friend! Honest!"

"Then why didn't you stop Jafar's plans!?"

"..."

"Iago!"

"...I'm an opportunist. At first I didn't care about you...but after you saved me from that tiger cub's jaws, I kinda...grew a soft spot for you and that's a hard thing for me to admit." Iago said as Aladdin loosened his grip and he flew out of his hands and onto his left shoulder. "If Jafar knew I cared for you, even for a second, he'd have killed me with no hesitation. He doesn't want you to have any connections, not if he wants to use you as a puppet ruler."

"So...he kept me from the outside world-"

"Partly out of the agreement he made with Cassim. That guy wanted you to be safe from the filth of the world since your mother died when he arrived that night, and if Cassim ever reneged that deal then...Jafar would've killed you." Iago said while looking at his talons. "It was supposed to be a simple deal, Cassim would get rid of the princess and Jafar would have an apprentice...but since the princess is a wizard's worst nightmare..."

"He decided to send us here, right?" Jasmine said with a low tone, filled with icy malevolence.

"...yes, he knew that you might've touched the treasure and Aladdin would've chosen to stay in the palace permanently...but I was against this one." he said with a frown. "This would do nothing but kill my friend, and...I'd rather not see that with my own two eyes."

"..."

"..."

"Look, I will try to regain your trust in the future, however long that takes me, but right now...I want to give Jafar the boot."

"This isn't another lie is it?" Aladdin asked with a hint of hope and a hint of anger in his tone.

"No! I'm just...tired of working for that chump! He always yelled, berates and finds ways to make my feathers molt, but killing you, even if it wasn't the plan, that's the final straw!"

"The parrot is right." Jasmine said with a frown. "We can punish the bird later, right now we need to prevent Jafar from ruining any more lives."

"..."

"Aladdin!"

"...I get that but...he still raised me, trained me. Even if he's evil and used me as a pawn...he's still the one that raised me, and...it just feels weird going against him." Aladdin said with a frown.

"I understand that, but he's still a criminal and a traitor to Agrabah, he must be dealt with now or he'll find more ways to kill us. And I for one don't want to have any more bounties on my head, ten thousand and two are enough for my lifetime."

[Huh, I thought it was ten thousand and ten. Must've miscounted.]

"..." the prince sighed heavily before nodding reluctantly as he looked at Genie with a small smile. "Hey, I have a wish to make."

"If it's to kill this Jafar guy, nope! No way man, I'm not allowed to do that."

"That would be a good wish but I don't want Jafar to die, not by magic that is." he said while crossing his arms. "What I want is something legal, so there's no loopholes or cracks for him to slither away in...so I wish that I had the proof needed to show my fath-no, the sultan that Jafar is a traitor and all his wrong doings were for his personal interests, not the kingdom's interests."

And in a flash, the genie's attire changed to that of a black tux and black pants, giving him the appearance of a smartly dressed lawyer as he pulled out a large brown suitcase from behind his back and gave it to the prince.

"Here is everything needed for a subpoena, a warrant, the eggs, pickles, ham, bread, and everything else, hold the mayonnaise...no wait, that's my lunch." Genie said while Iago facepalmed at him.

"Geez, what a dunderhead."

[Yeah, although this version of the Genie isn't that funny. Must've forgotten to go to clown school or something. Hehe, clown school.]

Aladdin stared at the suitcase before opening it up, revealing several folders and physical evidence that went all the way back to Jafar's younger days, making the prince smile a little before handing it to Jasmine. "Since you're the bag carrier, you can hold this."

"Excuse me?"

"I was joking, like how you joked with me all day."

She rolled her eyes while putting the suitcase into her sleeves along with her daggers. "I was teasing you, not joking. There's a distinct difference."

"Yeah yeah."

"Moving on!" Iago yelled while looking at the genie. "You, back in the lamp!"

"But I just got here."

"No talking back, you're going back in so Jafar doesn't find out about the lamp. We don't need him getting his hands on it and doing something to fuck us up!"

"Iago's right." Aladdin said while looking at Jasmine, who nodded in agreement. "We need to keep the lamp safe, and that means not using our final wishes at the moment."

"Are you sure masters? I can send us to wherever you want, first class no less." Genie said while causing a Boeing Jet Plane to appear in the middle of the room, breaking the pillar in the process as its cockpit had the entity's grinning face painted on it.

"We can fly by ourselves." Jasmine said while taking flight with her winged slippers and the carpet quickly zipping under Aladdin's legs and allowed him to sit on it. "So just head back into the lamp and let us handle the rest."

"Aw...you two aren't any fun." the genie said with a sad frown as he went back into the lamp, the airplane vanishing in a puff of smoke instantaneously.

Jasmine sighed as she placed the lamp into her right sleeve and turned to the prince. "Ready to fly, princess?"

"It's prince...I mean...commoner."

"To me, even though I'm the princess and you're the thief, I still think you're a princess." the assassin said with an honest smile under her veil. "After all, it's not the circumstances of our births that define us, but the choices we make that matter."

"...so you're a philosopher now?"

"I have seeds of wisdom sometimes, but let's head back to Agrabah and fast." she said before flying out of the room.

'Hey! Wait for MEEEEE!" Aladdin cried out as the carpet zoomed right out of the room as well, almost sending him flying off it in the process. 'Please don't get airsick! Don't get airsick!'

(A few hours later)

-Agrabah, Royal Palace, Throne Room-

The early morning sun rose in the distance as the throne room became decorated with light, the glistening elephant throne made of pure gold, shining like a beacon of hope within the unusually depressing palace.

For the sultan, the wise yet childish ruler of Agrabah, was currently pacing around the room in worry.

The reason? Because his son had vanished in the night and he was concerned for his safety.

Now normally he wouldn't be this stressed as his vizier, Jafar, would always keep tabs on the boy, even when he did cause chaos with some of the servants or visiting diplomats, but today was different...for he couldn't be found anywhere, not the palace, not in the streets and definitely not anywhere in the secret passages that the older man knew from his childhood.

And he was assuming the worst at the moment and needed someone to blame for his son's disappearance...and that one was his own vizier, the boy's guardian.

"Yes, Jafar was the last one to see Aladdin. He must have something to do with his disappearance. Yes, I must summon him and get to the bottom of this." he muttered out loud as the camera zoomed towards one of the nearby pillars, revealing a very annoyed Jafar in the process, who was slowly realizing that his plans might've been dashed for some reason.

'It seems like the Cave of Wonders got to the boy as well. Mmmm...unfortunately for me, it seems the old fool might have me banished or executed within the hour.' he thought to himself as a pair of cat eyes appeared on his headdress. 'I might as well 'convince' the sultan to forget this little 'hiccup' and play with his toys while I get one of my other contingency plans prepared for the foreseeable future. Perhaps have a peasant revolt over the prince's death at the hands of his own father. Yes, and I'll be the one leading it...and then I can crown myself as sultan and have the conspirators 'die' under 'mysterious circumstances'. Mmmm...I love it when a plan comes together.'

[Won't he be surprised once our heroes return, especially when he sees his plans uprooted by three equally agitated 'pawns'.]

"JAFAR!"

"Ugh, time to play the servant once more." the vizier said with a frown before walking away from the pillar and appeared behind the sultan himself, a false smile appearing on his face.

"JAFAR! Where-"

"Here I am, my liege."

"Gah! Jafar! You! You!"

"Calm yourself-"

"Calm myself? CALM MYSELF!? My son is missing, under YOUR watch, and you want me to CALM DOWN!?"

"B-But my liege, I only meant to imply that the stress is unnecessary. For I have sent the guards to locate him."

"They WERE already sent into the city already! You are already trying my patients over this matter and now you're trying to mask your ineptitude over finding MY son! That's it! You are going-"

"Going to what?" Jafar interrupted with hidden rage as he used his staff to hypnotize the ruler, his eyes starting to gain a red tint to them.

"Going...to..."

"I thought so. Now, run along and-"

SWIIIISSSH!

CRASH!

Jafar's eyes widened in shock as a golden dagger went flying past his face and shattered the top of his staff, the broken bronze shards falling to the ground with a thud as the dagger embedded itself into the marble floor. "What!?"

"Hold it right there Jafar!"

And lo, from the left side of the throne room, came the duo of Aladdin, on a magic carpet for some reason, and...Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra!? What was she doing here!?

"Huh, wait, what? Jafar? Wait, Aladdin!?" the sultan said in surprise as his son landed next to him along with Jasmine, who he felt...a strange sense of familiarity from her. "My boy, where have you been!?"

"It's a long story but Jafar is a traitor." he said while giving the older man the suitcase in his hands. "And this has all the proof that he has been against Agrabah since the beginning."

'Wait he did WHAT!?' Jafar thought in terror as he saw Iago sticking his tongue at him. 'Wait, he must've told them! But...how did they get anything on me, I made sure to...the genie! They used the lamp!'

[Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Your prize? Your downfall!]

"What...but...I...he..." the sultan muttered in shock as he looked at the many pictures and papers in his hands, his head looking towards Aladdin, then Jasmine, then the papers, and then back at the duo, before scrunching the papers in rage. "JAFAR!"

"Y-Y-Your liege, t-t-this is a ruse, a-a-a deception-"

"GUARDS! GUARDS!"

"But-"

"GUARDS!"

The vizier frowned before slowly backing away, hoping to use a hidden potion in his sleeves to mask his escape via a smokescreen and get his revenge on the duo's actions against him, especially the assassin.

However, he didn't notice a blue striped paw sticking out from behind his right foot, which caused the man to fall on his back as the appendage vanished instantly.

"GAH!"

"Oh no you don't!" Jasmine yelled while throwing a dark brown rope at the vizier, which wrapped around him as if powered by magic, restraining him and keeping him from even moving his limbs.

"Damn you!"

"Guards!" the sultan yelled as three guards entered the throne room, confused at why there's an famous assassin in the presence of their ruler and prince. "Seize the vizier! Put him in the dungeons for execution!"

"And make sure he's chained tightly." Aladdin said as the guards, still confused and a little hesitant about this command, nodded and grabbed the vizier as they started walking away.

"Unhand me! Grrr! I knew I should've killed you two that day! You two ruined everything!" Jafar screamed at the assassin and prince, glaring at them in pure madness as the doors slammed in his face, leaving the three humans and parrot alone in the throne room.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Welp, this is awkward." Iago said while leaning closer to Jasmine's ear and whispered. "Go on, say something to the sultan, just don't steal anything."

The assassin glared at the bird before looking at her birth father...and just stared at him, unable to form a cohesive sentence as she felt...very unnerved by the entire situation.

[Well, in her defense, she never associated the sultan as her true father, she saw Cassim as her father. So it will take a long while to fully trust him, and even longer to associate him with the role of father.]

"..."

"So, you're my daughter?"

"...yes." she said while the older man stared into her eyes.

"...your eyes, they look just like hers."

"Eh?"

"Sorry, I was just thinking of my wife, bless her soul...and your eyes look just like hers." he said while Jasmine felt a little happy hearing that comment, only to notice that Aladdin was walking out of the room. "Hey, Aladdin. Where are you going?"

"Away, I'm not the real prince so I'm...just going away." he said while feeling like he was nothing but an imposter that just needed to leave before he caused more trouble.

"But my son." the sultan said as Aladdin stopped in his tracks, shocked and a little surprised by this turn of events. "You are a prince, you might not be my biological son but I do care for you like any father would. Same goes to you...Jasmine was it?"

"...it's Jasmine, that's what...my adoptive father told me...no, that's what my mother called me before Jafar stole me away." the assassin said with a heavy sigh. "This will take time to come to terms with everything."

"Understandably so, but I am just so happy that my son and my daughter have returned to me." he said while Aladdin slowly walked back towards the sultan, only to notice Jasmine pulling out a lamp from her left sleeve. "Oh! What in-"

"Magic robes, and I think it's time to get our last wishes, right Aladdin?"

"Yeah, and I have the perfect one." he said while taking the lamp and rubbing it, causing Genie to appear while he was brushing his teeth.

"Mmmmm!?" he gargled before splitting it into a sink, which vanished along with his red toothbrush, and smiled his semi shiny teeth at the group. "Oh, masters, I didn't expect you guys to call upon me right now. Was in the middle of brushing my teeth and all."

"Genie, I have my final wish ready."

"Oh! What is it? Oh don't tell me, you want to have a harem!"

"What? No!" he said with an embarrassed frown. "I'm not eager for that." 'Yet.'

"Ah, well still can't make anyone fall in love with you so that makes sense in hindsight." Genie muttered while Iago facepalmed, making Jasmine shake her head in amusement. "Oh! You want to be like master number one right? An assassin with cool magical weapons?"

"No, I'm not going to be like my...um...half sister? Uh, still not going to get used to that." Aladdin said while shaking his head. "Genie, I wish..."

'Well, he's going to get something nice.' Iago thought to himself with a sigh. 'He does deserve that last wish, given all the pain Jafar put him through...and me as an accomplice. Oh well, as long as he's happy I'm happy...although I could steal the lamp and make my wishes come true. Yeah! I'll do that right-'

"That Iago will get lucky in any business or scheme he does that's not illegal."

"Wait what?"

"One lucky parrot with a side of fries coming right up!" Genie said before pointing his left index finger at the parrot.

ZAP!

"GAH!"

And in a flash of blue lightning and a puff of smoke, Iago found himself stuck inside a cheeseburger with bacon and lettuce as some fries were stuffed into his beak.

"...ooops, my mind wandered a little." Genie said in embarrassment as Iago glared at him with rage.

[Actually, that was my doing. I hijacked the wish just for kicks, although he does have his newfound luck...and some food to munch on. A two for one deal!]

"And I have my last wish ready." Jasmine said while taking the lamp from Aladdin, who quickly pulled Iago from the burger and had to keep himself from chuckling at his misery. "And I wish you were freed."

"Wait what!?" Both the parrot and genie said at once as Jasmine smirked under her veil.

"You helped us with our lives and I want you to find meaning to your life, oh servant of the lamp." the assassin said before pointing to Genie's bands. "But as an addendum to the wish, I want custody of those bands."

"...you know my bands are supposed to vanish upon my freedom right?"

"Yes, but I want them for my collection. Those bands have cosmic powers that I want to test out." She said while looking at Genie with stars in her eyes, much to the disbelief of Iago, who REALLY wanted his three wishes.

"Don't do this to me! Don't you dare!"

"Too late there birdy, the wish has been uttered. Nothings going to stop it now." Genie said as his lamp glowed a bright red, a cyclone of energy covering his body and caused the bracelets to unclamp from his arms.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Clank!

Clank!

Quickly and with unexpected speed, Jasmine raced towards the bracelets and allowed them to fall into her extended sleeves, which glowed a bright gold for a moment as she smirked with delight at her once in a lifetime 'haul'.

'Oh, I'm joining to ENJOY learning your secrets!'

'Why do I feel like she's somehow going to cause a scene...or something worse?' Aladdin thought before noticing the sultan looking at the two adventures.

"My son, my daughter, you have saved Agrabah from disaster...and normally I would try and pusrade you two to stay in the palace for your own protection...but after seeing how much you've grown." the older man said with a sigh. "With my son taking a productive role instead of blindly following his impulsive nature."

"He still hasn't stopped that." Jasmine said with a teasing chuckle. "He's still impulsive at times, and easily offended at my teasing."

"Hey!"

"And seeing my daughter...having the skills of a capable warrior...um, despite being the famous assassin and thief, Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra, who still has a bounty on her head in every kingdom of the Seven Deserts."

"And is a kleptomaniac." Aladdin said as Jasmine was currently trying to steal the sultan's blue sapphire from his turban, only to see everyone's eyes looking at her and looked away with a whistle. "A very compulsive one."

"Oh shut up Princess Ali."

"It's Prince Aladdin!"

"I have decided that your skills are best needed outside the palace walls. So." he said while giving his children a hug on one of their legs. "I decree that you, my son and daughter, will be my new ambassadors for the kingdom of Agrabah. You shall be protected under Agrabahian law and your duties will allow you two to explore the world, showing the rich culture of our people to the Seven Deserts and beyond."

"..."

"...father, that is a very big honor. I mean, I have been an ambassador before, but..." the prince said while looking a little sheepish, knowing he did do some very stupid things in his youth that he really doesn't want to repeat again.

"Don't worry my boy, you and Jasmine will do fine. You two are already bonding like siblings and I have confidence that you'll do well." he said before walking out of the room. "But now I must be off, I have an execution to plan for that traitor Jafar."

As the man quickly walked out of the room, Iago, still wailing in despair at his unfortunate luck, finally took notice of the fact that the genie had disappeared from the room along with the magic carpet.

"Wait, where did that lummox go off...oh? What do we have here?" he said while seeing a note sticking to the nearby pillar with some clear tape. "Dear masters, I have decided to see the world with my bro Carpet. I've been stuck in that lamp for ten thousand years and I want to see what's new, maybe check out Disney World or something. Carpet will come back within a year, so take this time to get used to each other. If we had met in different circumstances I would've tried to get you two together but I like the fact you two are siblings even more, it's so wholesome. I will send gifts when available and please clean my lamp, it needs a spring cleaning. With hugs and kisses, Genie. P.S. Do not let the bands touch anything laced with guava juice, it will explode with enough force to destroy a planet. P.P.S. Tell the parrot that there's a three headed chimera looming above him, I think it's angry or something, didn't ask. Wait...a three headed...oh no."

Drip.

Drip.

Splat!

The parrot's eyes dilated inwards as he looked up and saw the same chimera from the other day staring down at him with anger, its cub sitting on its back as said cub seemed to look at the bird with mischievous malice. 'Oh Allah no!'

"I guess I can show you to my room." Aladdin said while walking towards the doors along with the assassin, not noticing the chimera flying downwards from the ceiling and towards the now frightened Iago.

"Trying to woo me?"

"Yeah no, it's going to be our room until Razol finds you a room for you to stay permanently."

"You mean the guard that tried to capture me after you escaped the harem den?"

"Yes and you're still upset about that?"

"Yes. You left me behind after I saved you!" she frowned while Iago was thrashed in the chimera's paws, unable to scream due to the paws covering his beak every so often. "You should've had the courtesy of getting them to NOT arrest me!"

"I didn't want them to know! First time leaving the palace, remember? Plus Razol is overprotective when it comes to my safety and might've killed you!"

"So throwing a smoke portion at my face and leaving me behind was preferable!?"

"Yes!"

"You are so lucky you're an attractive woman or I'd have slapped you for that."

"I'm NOT a woman! I'm a man!"

"Tell that to your chest and ass, oh fair Princess Ali." Jasmine said while opening the doors and walked through them along with the now offended prince.

"For the last time, I'm. A. PRINCE!" he yelled before pulling up her robes, revealing her enlarged ass to the world.

Jasmine's eyes widened before he pulled Aladdin's bindings off, allowing his chest to expand to its newly wish fueled size. "Tell that to your tats, you hermaphrodite!"

"Oh that's it!" Aladdin yelled before the two started to fight with each other, a small dust cloud forming from their tussle as their chests and asses bounced off each other like cannonballs of softness.

All the while, Iago was being mauled to near death by the enraged chimera in the background.

[Oh how I love needless fighting in these sappy happy endings. Makes things feel more organic and fulfilling in my book...although I still can't believe that chimera is still in the palace. Must've waited here for a while...what a twist right?]

'AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!'

(Elsewhere)

-Somewhere near the Arabian Coastline, Lair of the Forty Thieves, Hidden Bedroom-

The sound of scurrying rats and the dripping of candle wax emanate from the corners of the room as Cassim, King of Thieves, was currently sleeping on his bed, still in a coma due to his stress the previous night.

No one knew he was here, no one but his closest associates.

Creeeeak!

Yet, in the far left corner of the room, the door slowly began to open, a trickle of light filling the room as a figure's shadow loomed over the bed like a specter of death.

[Ah, the end of a legacy. The end of everything really.]

Clack.

Clack.

Clack.

Slowly yet with confidence in their stride, the figure moved closer and closer towards the bed, their left hand rising upwards towards the ceiling with a glistening of gold.

"Huh, so this is the mighty Cassim? What a fool." the figure said out loud, a two bladed bagh nakha made of gold glistening in their knuckles. "And letting us fall from grace to become 'honorable' thieves. A poor decision that will."

SWISH!

SPLAT!

"End him before his time." the figure said as blood dripped from the now slit throat of Cassim, oozing downwards into a river of tainted ichor. "And now, I'M the King of Thieves and no one will ruin it for me, not even daddy's little favorite, Sayidat 'Afeaa Alsahra."

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

As the man cackled to himself with glee, the camera zoomed towards the pool of blood and into a blood covered reflection of the room itself, the bringer of chaos sitting on a pool floaty with a glass of punch in his left paw.

"It seems like Jasmine's troubles will continue onwards from this point, especially when that guy will find a certain upside down pyramid and locate a genie lamp...but that's enough of this timeline." he said while waving to the screen as it started to fade to black. "I hope you enjoy this first chapter of Stellar Wishes and I'll see you on the next one! For here on Stellar Wishes, anything goes, ANYTHING! Ciao~!"
