Down to the streets, where Razoul and a couple of other guards are chasing something.

"Stop that ... thing!" Razoul ordered.

The guards are chasing -- Mozenrath's slippery accomplice, Xerxes. As he flies around a corner, he begins to taunt the guards.

"Thing, stop thing, stop thing!"

He laughs and flies off again. The guards continue to chase.

"What is it, anyway?" Hakim asked.

"Who cares? It's evil, it's ugly, it-" Razoul ranted.

"It bites!" Fazal whimpered.

The backs of the guards now, revealing a hole in Fazal's pants. Xerxes, still flying a little way off, obviously hears this.

"I bite, I bite! Hee hee hee!"

He flies off again. The guards continue to chase Xerxes until he comes to a dead end. Xerxes comes to a halt just before he hits the wall, gasps, and turns to see the guards gaining on him. The guards begin to advance on him.

"Good job, men. The beast is trapped." Razoul said.

Xerxes looks fearful; then a voice out of the darkness startles the guards.

"No. You are trapped."

Razoul looks back over his shoulder.

"What? Who dares?"

The silhouette figure revealed Mozenrath as he approached them threatenly.

"I am Mozenrath, Lord of the Black Sand."

He is holding some sand in his gloved hand, which he blows in the direction of the guards. They struggle and yell out as the sand envelops them, but it is too strong, and soon the guards all vanish. Xerxes flies over to Mozenrath.

"Black sand, black sand!'

Mozenrath pets him.

"Yes, Xerxes. And there's plenty more where that came from."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During the day at the palace, Razoul and all the other guards are carrying barrels and setting them down near the palace wall. They all appear to be in a trance as they do so. From a balcony above, Iago was watching them.

"That's a lotta barrels. And you know they're filled to the brim with caviar."

Abu joins him on the balcony, holding his nose at the thought of caviar along with Blue.

"Eww."

"Don't obsess on the fish eggs! This means the Sultan's throwing a party. A clam bake. A shindig. We're gonna boogaloo with the bigwigs tonight."

He starts heading off. Abu seems more interested in this idea and begins to follow, both of them strutting happily. Suddenly, Iago stops.

"Wait a minute. Nobody invited me to this party!"

On the word 'bottom', Iago slaps Abu on the back, and he falls off the balcony, screeching as he falls. Iago flies down and catches him before he hits the ground, and the two of them perch on a couple of the barrels.

"A-hem!"

They have to scarper since Razoul puts down another barrel where they were. Blue lands besides them and looks at Razoul suspiciously at his odd behavior.

"Didn't invite us, eh? Bird and money cramp the royal style! Hah!"

When he doesn't get any response from Razoul, Iago flies after him.

"Well, you just tell Sultan..."

Razoul continues to walk, staring straight ahead. Iago realizes something is wrong.

"Hey. Razoul?"

He snaps a couple of feathers together as a human would fingers -- no response.

"Anybody home? Focus. Focus."

Razoul slaps his hands together, squashing Iago between them. Razoul continues toward the palace and Iago falls to the ground, where Abu and Blue join him.

"He's moody today."

Still suspicious, True quietly follows after Razoul. Meanwhile, in the garden at the palace, Aladdin and Jasmine are standing talking.

"Aw, Jasmine, you're not still mad, are ya?"

"I'm not mad, Aladdin, just ... irritated."

"But ... the Caliph was boring!"

He imitates the Caliph.

"I've got gold, I've got palaces, blah, blah, blah."

"Be that as it may, at official dinners we do not suddenly wow them with a fruit juggling trick."

"It was worth it just to see the Caliph with grapes up his nose." he laughed.

Y/N comes towards them.

"Hey, guys? Did you notice anything suspicious lately?"

"No, why?" Aladdin asked.

"It's just... the guards and Razoul are acting... strange lately and I'm worried about them."

"I'm sure everything is fine. Maybe you're just tired from patrolling last night." Jasmine assured.

"I don't know. When I tried to talk to Razoul, he seemed like... he's not acting himself and acting more... like he's been hypnotized." Y/N said.

"Maybe he's just as tired as you are." Aladdin said.

"I hope you're right..."

"Oh, and you know about that Caliph."

"Ugh... Don't remind me."

"Oh, yeah. It goes like this." Aladdin said as he begins his imitation again.

Behind them, Razoul enter and place a barrel on the ground. He tips it up and snakes made of the black sand slither off toward the three. True saw that and started slithering towards them as fast as she could.

"Blah, blah, blah, I've got grapes up my nose."

Jasmine and Y/N begins to laugh, then controlling themselves.

"Ahem. Aladdin, that was not funny." Jasmine scolded.

"Ah, I don't get it. Fighting monsters: okay. Fighting boredom: not okay."

He turns and starts to walk off, making Jasmine chuckle.

"Actually, I don't care for the monster fighting, either."

"Right." Y/N rolled her eyes playfully.

"Y/N! Jasmine! Look out!" True shouted.

The girls were confused until they looked down as a couple of the sand snakes take hold of Jasmine's arms. She gasps and is about to get sucked down when Y/N grabbed a hold of Jasmine.

"Hold on! I got you!"

Y/N struggled to get her out, but the black sand was too strong as is beginning to pull her along. She kept on pulling and pulling when she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her. She was relieved for a moment and turned only to find Mozenrath.

"Missed me, sweetheart?"

"Mozenrath!" Y/N gasped.

"No way!" Jasmine gasped in horror.

True hissed at him and jumped towards Mozenrath when he smacked her away, causing her to fall into the black sand as well as they wrap around her.

"No! True!"

Mozenrath made Y/N let go of Jasmine as she and True are quickly enveloped by the sand, disappearing.

"No!!"

Y/N turned to him angrily and was about to attack him when he calmly grabbed a hold of her wrists.

"Slow down, Y/N. This is the thanks I get for saving your life?"

"No way! Let me go! Once my brother hears about this, you'll be sorry!"

Y/N manages to kick him off of her, making him let go of her as she begins to run away.

"Oh, no you don't."

He zaps his magic towards her as they freeze her. He motions her to move towards him as she did. Y/N struggles to get out of this magic bind as she's now face to face with him. He grabs her chin.

"You will be mine, Y/N. And that's where the best part begins. You'll enjoy it."

Mozenrath brings out something from his pocket to reveal pink sand.

"Wh-What's that?"

"Oh, you'll see, darling."

He blows it towards her face and pink smoke was spread out with a hint of sparkles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the palace, Jasmine is walking with a barrel, the same as the guards. She passes a door and Iago and Abu stick their heads out.

"Bingo! Princess and caviar. Come on. Don't let on we know about the party."

Abu chatters his agreement and follows Iago. Iago flies up to Jasmine.

"Whoa-ho-ho, Princess! Don't strain yourself with that great big barrel. Let us carry that."

He takes the barrel from Jasmine's hands.

"Here - Abu, carry that."

He drops it toward Abu, who catches it. Iago flies down and lands beside him.

"What craftsmanship! What do you suppose is in it, Abu?"

Abu is almost dropping the barrel and chatters a little. Jasmine is still standing there, staring blankly ahead. Abu puts the barrel down and he and Iago pull the top off. Iago looks inside.

"Ooh, look - caviar! How nice! You're throwin' a party, aren't ya?"

Jasmine still stares straight ahead.

"Funny how - hey."

He looks back in the barrel.

"That's not caviar, it's just a bunch of black sand."

He takes some out and drops it back into the barrel, then dusts his wings off. As he does so, Jasmine whacks him. Abu meekly puts the lid back on the barrel, Jasmine picks it up and continues on her way. Iago groans after sliding down the wall he hit and looks after Jasmine.

"Princess?"

He turns to Abu.

"Is somethin' in the water supply? Everybody's so moody today. Fine! We don't wanna go to your stupid party!"

They don't notice Aladdin standing behind them along with Y/N.

"What party?"

Iago flies up to Aladdin's shoulder.

"You weren't invited either? Whew, I feel better."

"Uh... I don't get you." Y/N said in confusion.

"Ah, Jasmine must really be mad. All because of my stupid 'wow them with the fruit juggling' trick."

"At least Jasmine didn't smack you! Who needs their stinkin' party, and their, uh - their dumb old black sand?"

"Did you say, 'black sand'?" Aladdin and Y/N asked in unison.

"Yeah. I also said Jasmine smacked me. I would think that's the more important point of the story."

Aladdin starts to get suspicious along with Y/N but didn't notice his sister is smirking.

"Where did Jasmine go?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In another room in the palace, we see the lamp. From inside come the sounds of Genie telling jokes in a German accent to a laughing crowd.

"Ladies und bergermeisers! Tonight, at the Hoffrau (sp?), one night only, it's: Der Oom-Pa-Pa Genie!"

The audience cheers. A blue hand comes out briefly, then disappears back into the lamp.

"Danke shoen. I woulda been here earlier, but I had a run in my lederhosen."

The audience laughs again. A hand then knocks on the lamp and Genie's voice is heard from inside the lamp.

"Who is it? Did someone knock? Hello?"

During this second sentence, Jasmine tips the sand out of a barrel onto the floor, then places the barrel on the ground. When he gets no answer, Genie comes out of the lamp as a one-man-band, making a lot of noise. He looks around, but the room is deserted.

"Hello?"

He sees the barrel and gasps.

"A barrel! I've been visited by the Barrel Fairy! Thank-you, Barrel Fairy! Thank-you, wherever you are! Oh-ho -huh?"

He looks in the barrel.

"Empty. Oh, what a rip. Barrel Fairy brought me a bogus barrel? Oh, there's gotta be something!"

He puts a hand into the barrel, then his head.

"Barrel Fairy, don't forsake me now!"

He doesn't notice the sand on the floor. Aladdin and Y/N bursts into the room.

"Genie!"

The sand grabs Genie, pulling him into the puddle. Aladdin takes the barrel.

"Genie?" Y/N called worriedly.

The puddle of sand on the floor is moving.

"It's digesting?" Iago asked.

As the puddle begins to grow again.

"It's regurgitating!"

The puddle seemingly releases Genie, but like the guards and Jasmine, he merely stares straight ahead. Aladdin looks relieved and smiles at Genie.

"You're okay!"

No response.

"Genie? Are you hurt? Say something!"

Suddenly, Aladdin get hit and he slides past Abu and Iago while Y/N run over to her brother's aid worriedly.

"It's that moody thing again! The sand does it to them!"

"You might be right about one thing. I don't think that's our Genie that we know." Y/N said, looking at Genie cautiously.

Aladdin rubs his head, then looks after Genie in puzzlement. Genie steps out of the puddle and heads off. Aladdin, Y/N, Iago, and Abu follow him at a distance.

"What's the sand do to them?"

"I don't know." Aladdin said.

Genie disappears around a corner. The others follow him.

"Razoul, Jasmine, Genie. It's like their brains have been sucked right out of their heads." Iago said.

Aladdin looks around a pillar, gasps, then turns back to the others.

"What is it?" Y/N asked.

"I hope that's not the case."

Aladdin looks back around the pillar. Y/N looks over to see Jasmine. Genie joins her and the two of them start off down the corridor.

"Eh, I also have an 'evil twin' theory." Iago commented.

"Let's find out what's going on." Aladdin said.

In the dungeon, Aladdin, Y/N, Iago, and Abu are looking through a crack in a door. Genie and Jasmine are just standing there, mute as ever.

"What are they doing in Jafar's room?" Aladdin questioned.

They suddenly hear Mozenrath's voice from inside the room.

"Our grand deception is going splendidly, my sleepy-eyed supporters."

Outside, Aladdin blanches and opens the door further, seeing Mozenrath.

"Ah-ha. Just as I thought. Where there's black sand, there's Mozenrath."

What he doesn't notice is that Y/N's eyes shine pink a little as she blushes at the sight of Mozenrath.

"So what're you gonna do? Bust in there and stomp him?" Iago asked.

"No. Jasmine may be in danger. We can't let him know we're on to him."

"He's right." Y/N agreed.

They hurry off as Xerxes pokes his head around the door. He looks around, but Aladdin, Y/N, Iago, and Abu are hiding behind the door and he doesn't see them.

"We must continue the ruse until the Sultan is captured." Mozenrath said.

Xerxes goes again and the four breathe a sigh of relief. Mozenrath turns to Jasmine.

"You are the one who can get close enough to him to accomplish that."

He hands her a barrel.

"Now go! Take him!"

Aladdin, Y/N, Iago, and Abu have been peering through the door again, and hide behind it again as Jasmine exits.

"Ooh, poor Sultan's next." Iago said.

"Not if I can help it." Aladdin glared.

Jasmine walks down a corridor with the barrel. Aladdin hurries up to her.

"Hey, Jas! What's in the barrel?"

He tries to take it from her, but she pulls it away. Aladdin looks after her, puzzled, then catches her by the arm.

"Jasmine, I really think we need to talk -"

Jasmine's arm comes off in Aladdin's hand. He gasps and holds it up - it has turned into the arm of a Mamluk. In fact, it was a Mamluk all along - we see him now, and he moans at Aladdin. Aladdin drops the arm on the ground in disgust.

"Eurgh!" Iago and Abu groaned in disgust.

Y/N looks like she's going to puke. Setting down the barrel, the Mamluk reattaches his arm and turns back into an image of Jasmine. He picks up the barrel and continues down the corridor.

"Wow ... beauty is only skin deep." Iago commented.

"It's not Jasmine. Mozenrath replaced her with a mamluk! Which means the real Jasmine is trapped somewhere! ... but where?" Aladdin said.

Abu climbs up onto his shoulder and starts chattering at him, noticing that 'Genie' coming from behind them. Iago notices too, and tugs on Y/N's trousers.

"N/N? Al? Big blue zombie at twelve o'clock!"

Aladdin and Y/N sees him too, and Abu begins to chatter in a frightened way. 'Genie' continues to advance on them, and the four start to back away.

"I wanna speak to Genie - the real Genie, deep inside." Iago said nervously.

'Genie' thumps the ground, and Aladdin and Y/N gets out of the way just in time.

"Iago, it's a mamluk too! There is no Genie deep inside."

They scarper as 'Genie' punches the pillar they were standing in front of. Aladdin ducks behind a column, then sneaks out again brandishing a vase.)

"... which means we don't have to worry about hurting him!" Y/N said.

She smashes the vase on 'Genie's' back, but it just shatters and 'Genie' moans.

"What about him hurting us?" Iago questioned.

Abu makes to fight. 'Jasmine' is walking off and hear Aladdin

"No, Abu! Stop Jasmine!" Aladdin said.

Aladdin and Y/N are struggling against 'Genie'.

"Don't let her get to Sultan!" Y/N shouted as they continue to struggle.

"Good idea. Girls don't hit quite so hard." Iago said, making Y/N glare at him.

They start to run off after 'Jasmine', but skid to a halt and turn back toward Aladdin and Y/N, still struggling against a very tight 'Genie' hug.

"Go on! Save the Sultan!"

The Sultan is in the throne-room, balancing a few mechanical elephants on top of one another and humming to himself. 'Jasmine' appears and Sultan gasps.

"Oh! Jasmine, you startled me. I didn't hear you come in."

'Jasmine' takes the lid off the barrel. Black sand comes out. Back to a corridor, where 'Genie' is carrying Aladdin and Y/N, still struggling.

"We can't just leave Al. Go on, help him!"

Iago pushes Abu, then Carpet comes flying down the corridor. He sees what's happening and flies over to Aladdin and Y/N to help by pulling on 'Genie's' wrist. Iago flies up to 'Genie'.

"Here's a little trick called a Mongolian Hair Pull!"

He grabs 'Genie's' hair and starts pulling. Before he gets too far, 'Genie's' entire head comes off. Iago is now carrying a Mamluk head.

"Aah! Gross!"

He drops the head in disgust. 'Genie's' body also turns back into the Mamluk and Aladdin and Y/N manages to get free.

"Thanks, guys."

"Good job."

Aladdin goes over to the Mamluk, who swipes at him but misses, then grabs Abu and starts squeezing him. He chatters, and Aladdin taps the Mamluk's shoulder.

"'Scuse me ... you got a loose thread back there."

Indeed, there's the loose thread in the Mamluk's back. Y/N pulls it, and the Mamluk falls to pieces. A hand tries to grab Abu but he kicks it away and laughs. Aladdin zooms past on Carpet and picks him up by the tail.

"There's no time to lose!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Jasmine' is leading a blindfolded Sultan somewhere.

"Jasmine, I really don't understand the point of this game."

'She' is leading him towards a pool of black sand on the floor.

"And you're so quiet. Is something troubling you?"

He cries out as he falls into the sand, but just in time Aladdin and Y/N arrives.

"Gotcha!"

Aladdin pulls the Sultan's wrists and the Sultan takes off the blindfold.)

"Aladdin, what's going on?"

"There's no time to explain right now."

"Al, look out!" Iago and Y/N shouted.

'Jasmine' is running toward them. 'She' knocks Aladdin off Carpet. The Sultan cries out as he is sucked down into the sand again, but Abu grabs his wrist, then Iago grabs Abu and Carpet grabs Iago. What they didn't notice is Y/N is standing there with her eyes covered in shadows as she watched them. Aladdin and 'Jasmine' continue to struggle. Aladdin throws 'her' over his head, but 'she' gets up and jumps at him again. Abu, Iago and Carpet pull the Sultan out of the sand. He pulls himself together for a couple of seconds before he notices Aladdin and 'Jasmine'.

"Jasmine, Aladdin, why are you fighting?"

Aladdin and 'Jasmine' continue to fight. Iago is watching Aladdin still struggling with 'Jasmine'.

"Go, Al, go! Remember it's not Jasmine, it's a mamluk!"

'Jasmine' pushes Aladdin over to the window and hangs him out of it. Hanging by his feet, he sees a pool of black sand below the window. He grabs onto the window ledge, then when 'Jasmine' pushes him fully out the window he simply jumps back in and pushes 'her' out instead. The Sultan sees all this happening.

"NO!"

He rushes over to the window.

"Sultan, wait!"

The Sultan looks out of the window.

"Jasmine!"

'Jasmine' is hanging on the window ledge. 'She' grabs the SULTAN, then lets go of the ledge and they both fall. Aladdin makes a grab at the Sultan as he falls.

"No!"

The Sultan and 'Jasmine' both fall into the pool of black sand.

"Sultan!"

Xerxes flies in and chuckles as he turns somersaults over the pool.

"Black sand, black sand!"

Aladdin looks at the window above, then he goes back into the room.

"I'm going after Sultan. Carpet."

Carpet flies over.

"Find me a chain, or a ... a rope, something."

Carpet flies off and Aladdin calls out after him.

"Something long!"

"Going after Sultan? How? Where?" Iago asked.

"Into the sand."

He looks startled as Mozenrath enters through the throne room door.

"Aladdin! I applaud you. Truly one for the textbooks. Except for the end there, where you lost Sultan. Still, an 'A' for effort, friend. An 'A' for effort."

"Don't call me friend." Aladdin glared.

Suddenly, two snakes comes out of nowhere and they hisses at Aladdin before wrapping themselves around him, binding him. Aladdin struggles to get out their grip as the 'guards' grabs him by the shoulders.

"Hey! Let go!"

He notices Y/N was standing beside Mozenrath and her necklace was glowing as she had summoned those snakes.

"Sis! What gives?"

As she looked up, Aladdin flinches to see her eyes glowing pink as she gives him a blank look before looking at Mozenrath rather... lovingly.

"How did I do?"

"Her eyes..." Aladdin voiced in realization.

Mozenrath chuckles and hugs Y/N, making her blush.

"Good girl. You've done just what I asked."

"Anything for you~"

Aladdin watches in disgust.

"You! What did you do to my sister?!"

Mozenrath laughs before smirking.

"Take a good look at her, Aladdin. She's mine now."

"What have you done to her?!"

"I took back what should've been mine, Aladdin. She's my fiancé. And she's almost perfect."

"YOU!!"

Xerxes flies in through the window.

"Sultan captured!"

"Excellent, Xerxes." Mozenrath said, still hugging Y/N close to him.

"You - what have you done with them?"

"You're about to find out. First-hand."

He is holding a lump of black sand in his hand. Aladdin struggles against the 'guards', the snakes, and Mozenrath blows the sand toward Aladdin as Iago and Abu look on, looking very worried. The sand forms a puddle below Aladdin. Mozenrath turns on his heel and exits with Y/N; Xerxes chuckles at Aladdin, then follows. Iago and Abu are still hiding behind a pillar, still watching.

"Getting in was the easy part. Your so-called guards were more like escorts."

Mozenrath is now seated on the throne with Y/N sitting on his lap.

"In fact..."

He yawns, stroking Y/N's hair.

"...now that I've won, there's no need to keep up appearances."

He snaps his fingers and the 'guards' revert to their original Mamluk form. Mozenrath steps down off the throne as Y/N sits on the throne and goes over to a window.

"The deception is over. Agrabah is mine to rule. I've made prisoners of the royal family. Princess Jasmine of course made for such a delightful victim. When she was swallowed by the sand, she gave out the most ... blood-curdling scream."

He laughs.

"She's so cute. But not as cute as Y/N."

"You made one mistake, Mozenrath." Aladdin sneered.

"Really? A mistake? What would that be, tell me puh-leeze."

"You saved me for last!"

He struggles free of the Mamluks and the snakes as they disappear, but before he gets very far, Mozenrath zaps him, lifting him into the air.

"I meant to. You're so much fun to gloat to."

"Gloat, gloat!" Xerxes laughed.

"Well, it's time for good-bye, Aladdin."

"Bye-bye!"

"Assure the Sultan that my mamluks love the royal decor. Oh, and my fond regards to the princess. And tell that guard Razoul that he's no longer in Y/N's need."

"Fond regards, fond regards!"

Xerxes blows a kiss. Then Mozenrath snaps his fingers and Aladdin falls into the pool. He chuckles.

"Xerxes, you punctuated my moment beautifully."

Iago and Abu watches with worry.

"Al? I'll miss his two-fisted antics." Iago frowned.

Abu crosses his arms.

"What? What can I do?"

Carpet flies back in through the window with a length of rope, which he ties around a column. He takes the other end and flies right into the black sand.

"Alright, Carpet!" Abu cheered.

"Hah. Well, I was just gonna do that. I swear!" Iago scoffed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a strange land full of the black sand, Sultan, True, Jasmine, and the guards are stuck up over their ankles in the sand.

"Where is this place? It's so strange." Jasmine asked.

Razoul tries to free his leg, but with no success.

"Some royal guardsman I am. Tricked by a flying, simpleton eel!"

"It couldn't be helped. Who knew Mozenrath was up to something?" Jasmine assured.

"I sure hope Y/N is alright..." Razoul said.

One of the puddles begins to boil and Genie emerges dressed in diving gear.

"Here's the plan: we get out the same way we got in!"

"Did you see anything?" Jasmine asked.

"Goop. Tons of it." Genie replied.

"My kingdom, my people ... under Mozenrath's evil rule." Sultan said sadly.

"Don't worry - there's hope while Al and Y/N's out there stopping mamluks!"

A large bubble appears. It bursts, and Aladdin appears, stuck in the goop.

"Aladdin!" Jasmine said in relief.

"How do we get outta here?" Aladdin asked.

"So much for our hope." Hakim muttered.

"Don't worry. There's still Y/N, Carpet, Abu and Iago!" Genie assured.

Another bubble and Carpet pop out of this one.

"Oh, let's face it: we're doomed." Genie frowned.

Carpet reaches down and pulls out the rope. Genie grins and kisses Carpet.

"I think that I shall never hug a friend I love more than this rug!"

He hugs Carpet but gets stuck to him with some of the goop.

"Ah ... a little help?"

Aladdin then remembers something.

"Genie, how do we break the spell?"

Genie looks at him.

"What spell?"

"It's my sister. She's under Mozenrath's... love spell."

Hearing that made Razoul enraged and he marched up to Aladdin's face and grabbed his collar.

"She's what?!"

"That can't be!" True gasped in horror.

"What kind of spell did he put on her?" Genie asked.

"I don't know. All I know is her eyes glows pink whenever she's with him."

This made Genie think for a moment with a hum as he heard of that spell before. His eyes widened and he snapped his fingers.

"I got it! That spell he put on her must be the pink sand."

"So, how do we get her out of that?" Razoul asked eagerly.

Meanwhile, the puddle of black sand on the throne room floor and Iago's voice was heard.

"I don't like this. What if they don't come back? You're gonna have to save the day."

"What?" Abu questioned in disbelief.

"Coward. Al would do it for you."

They duck back behind the pillar as Xerxes flies in to inspect the puddle.

"What this, what this? Rope."

Iago pushes Abu out from behind the pillar.

"Get him!"

Xerxes sniffs the puddle.

"Mozenra-"

He is cut short as Abu tackles him and the two struggle. Out on the balcony, Mozenrath was busy flirting with Y/N as he gives her a kiss on the lips, making her giggle.

"Y/N, what would you do for me?"

"Anything."

"Good. Call me, Lord Mozenrath."

"Yes, Lord Mozenrath."

Mozenrath smirks and goes to kiss her again when he and Y/N heard something and started to turn around, but Iago flies over and perches himself on Mozenrath's shoulder.

"Mozenrath! Buddy. Can we talk?"

Abu and Xerxes continue to struggle.

"You seem like a guy who's goin' places. A real Renaissance wizard. I could, you know, be your sidekick. That freaky eel doesn't do anything for your image, trust me! What you need is a parrot!"

Abu is still struggling with Xerxes. This time, Y/N hears them.

"What was that?"

"You heard it too, right?" Mozenrath asked.

Iago desperately tries to get their attention back.

"Ah, I've got great sidekick credentials! You ever hear of Jafar? You know, ah, tall guy, kinda snaky ..."

"Get out of my way!"

Y/N smacks him away as she and Mozenrath hurries back into the throne room. When Abu sees them, he screeches and releases Xerxes, who smacks him one with his tail and flies off. Mozenrath goes over to the pool of black sand on the floor and kneels down by it.

"Ah, some people don't know when to give up."

A large blue hand comes out of the sand and flicks Mozenrath, sending him sprawling across the floor and crashing into a pillar. Genie appears.

"And some people just don't know when to shut up!"

He pulls the rope out of the sand and an elevator comes out. The door opens to reveal Genie, dressed as a lift boy, Aladdin, True, Sultan, Jasmine, and the guards.

"Next floor: evil wizards, wacky slug fest, love spelled girl, and happy endings. Everybody off."

Everybody exits the elevator at a run. The Mamluks look around. Aladdin tackles one, Carpet trips up another, True wraps herself around another and makes him punch himself in the face, Razoul fights yet another, pushing him over Fazal. Aladdin struggles with one, throwing it over his head and causing his arms to completely fall off.

"Yeuch, I'm never getting used to this."

Mozenrath turns to Y/N.

"Stop them!"

Y/N nods and glares at them as Aladdin, Jasmine, and Razoul stops to see her.

"Sis, listen to me. We don't want to fight you." Aladdin said.

"We just want to talk." Jasmine said.

"Please, Y/N. It's me. I'm your true fiance." Razoul said.

Instead of listening, Y/N lets her feet do the conversing, in the form of a high-flying kick that drives Razoul back past the other two.

"Guess there's nothing to talk about." Genie said grimly.

He cracks his knuckles and turns into an enormous gorilla, bringing both fists down on the rooftop. Y/N leaps back to evade the hit and a couple of grabs before jumping up high. In midair, she summons out flying weapons from her necklace, the curved blades extending from the central orb. A line whistles down from Y/N's direction, and winds itself around one thick wrist. Y/N drops down and pulls the line, yanking Genie to the ground hard.

"Youch! Girl, she's strong!"

Jasmine tries to stop her as she brings out a whip and swings it towards her.

"Please--"

She was cut off as Y/N leaps very high and comes down with a kick and a flurry of other strikes aimed at Jasmine. She shields herself from the offensive. Aladdin looks around for anything to stop his sister before seeing Genie as he was getting up. He comes over and grabs him and goes charging towards Y/N. Genie catches on what he's doing and transforms himself into a form of a bighorn sheep and charges as soon as Aladdin lets go of him. Those curved horns slam into Y/N's back and send her rolling away to stop just short of the edge of the balcony.

"Y/N!" Mozenrath exclaimed with worry.

Aladdin runs over to the balcony, where Y/N lies prone.

"Sis! Are you okay?"

His answer comes in the form of a savage kick that knocks him into Jasmine; both go down, and Y/N sits up. Razoul approaches her slowly.

"Y/N, please. You have to remember. I'm your true love."

"You don't know me! Only Lord Mozenrath is my one true love!"

Y/N charges him and Razoul backs away, blocking her punches.

"Come on, don't make me do this! I don't want to do this!"

He gets ready to punch her back, but a low foot sweep gets in under his guard and dumps him onto his back. A sword was pointed at his face, and he looked up to see her wielding it. Razoul looks at her for a moment before sighing.

"Y/N, I love you with all of my heart. I cannot be in a world where we must fight. If you truly love Mozenrath,"

He lets his head lie on the ground and closes his eyes.

"...then go ahead. Do what you must."

Y/N is still under the love spell, but his words have touched her heart. After a tense moment, her pink eyes begin to be flickering as they flash to E/C to pink for a second. Razoul sees this as his opportunity as he pushes the blade away from his face and pulls her into a kiss. Mozenrath gasps and glares.

"What?! No!!"

Y/N's eyes turned back to her original E/C. She blinks for a moment to find herself in a moment with Razoul before kissing back. They pull back after looking into each other's eyes.

"Razoul..."

"My flower..."

Aladdin and Jasmine are relieved to have her back. True jumps onto Y/N and hugs her, nuzzling her cheek. Mozenrath was unhappy with this turn of events and that the spell is broken.

"This isn't over yet, simps!" he sneered.

Genie materializes with a mirror, admiring a wig he's wearing.

"Hey, handsome ..."

Mozenrath zaps them, but Genie whacks the magic back towards Mozenrath with the mirror, who very quickly gets up and starts running the other way.

"No!"

He runs, dives, and the magic breaks a hole in the palace tower instead. Genie is sitting in a referee's chair, watching the action.

"Game point!"

Mozenrath is dangling out the window, his gloved hand holding the ledge. Y/N comes over to the window and offers Mozenrath her hand.

"Take my hand."

Mozenrath was surprised for a moment before grasping her wrist and pulls himself up a little.

"I'd much rather take you with me and have you mine again!"

He falls - Y/N catches hold of his glove, which comes off, revealing a skeletal hand beneath. Mozenrath, having fallen a little way and having caught onto another ledge with his good hand, stares at it in horror a moment.

"No ..."

He can't hold on any longer and falls.

"Y/N!!" he yells as he falls, but something catches him before he hits the pool of sand at the bottom of the tower.

He looks up. Xerxes is holding him up by his cape.

"Yes! Xerxes! Good toady!"

But he's too heavy, and the cape rips. Mozenrath falls into the sand. Xerxes spits the piece of cape out and looks up angrily.

"Hmph. We'll return, Aladdin! We'll return! Don't think we won't! We will return! Mozenrath will have Y/N!"

A safe fall on him, sending him into the pool as well. Genie, Y/N, and Aladdin are at the window above.

"I had a spare safe lying around. What was I to do with it?"

This made Y/N giggle and looked at Razoul, who came over and kissed her. Y/N kissed back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Later, Iago is relaxing in the palace.

"Boy, am I glad that's over."

He hears footsteps and looks around. Genie comes in the door with a barrel on his back. He is staring straight ahead. Iago begins to back away from him.

"That stinkin' eel wasn't kidding. They did return with more of that black sand!"

He flops onto a cushion. Abu is on the other side. He turns and moans at Iago, acting like Genie too.

"AAH! The monkey's a mamluk! Let me outta here!"

He zooms out the window where Aladdin and Jasmine are standing. They shrug at each other and inside Genie and Abu are shaking hands.

"Hey, guys." Aladdin greeted.

"What's with Iago?" Jasmine asked.

"Beats me." Genie said.

Abu shrugs.

"But he's gonna miss the Sultan's party."

Aladdin and Jasmine smile at each other and see Y/N and Razoul walking past by holding hands; Genie takes the lid off the barrel.

"Oh, well. More caviar for us, eh?"

Abu monkey-chatter in agreement.
