I slowly opened my eyes, my vision so blurry it was like i had too much orange soda and I could barely see straight. Once my eyes adjusted, I saw I was in a cell, chained by my wrists to a stone wall. Cold air filtered in from a barred window, also the only light source in the entire room. 

"What is this place?... Where is this place?"

I was startled out of my thoughts when I heard something beep. I looked down to the floor to see my Kimunicator. It was beeping and vibrating as an envelope flashed on the screen. I obviously couldn't reach it, as I couldn't move my hands. I tried reached it with my foot, but they were just inches apart from each other. 

I huffed, blowing a piece of hair out of my face with annoyance. Think Ava think! I just hope I wasn't out for too long. Who knows how much time has passed. 

Then, a thought hit me! What if the Kimunicator had voice commands?

I cleared my throat, looking over at the device. "Answer!"

The screen reacted, flipping on as the face of Mickey Mouse appeared on screen. "Thank goodness, Avalynn! We've been trying to reach you for hours! Are you alright?"

Hours?!

"I'm okay... I think." I replied nervously, still feeling the slight sting in my skull from where Jafar had struck me with his staff.

"What happened?" Mickey asked me with worry.

"I just met... my first Disney villain."

Silence fell on the other end of the line as I didn't hear the mouse reply to my answer.

"Mickey?"

"Ava?" Mickey's voice sounded a lot quieter. "Who, exactly, did you meet?"

I swallowed nervously before opening my mouth. "...Jafar."

"What?" I could hear the worry in his voice .

"Listen to me Mickey! I think Jafar might be working for the Dark Anomalies somehow. He mentioned that their leader hired him to do a job. He and Iago stole your sorcerer hat that's all glitching and stuff. I think it might have been infected by the Dark Anomalies. That's not all, he kidnapped Ben and Sebastian too!" I explained. 

"Oh golly, that's terrible! No wonder I couldn't get in contact with them." Mickey gulped. 

"Can you spare any of the other Disney Wizards to try and come find us?" I asked him.

"Well, I uh-- I'm sorry Ava, but none of the other Wizards are available." Mickey answered with regret. 

"Aw crap! Heh... If Mushu was here he would said-- Wait! Could you send Mushu to come and get me? He is my Disney Guardian after all." I suggested. 

"I'll send for him immediately." Mickey nodded. "Could you provide me your current location?"

"Um, well..." I strained, taking a look around my cell, looking at every crack and detail for any clues. "Judging by the structure of this place... I think I'm somewhere locked up in Adventureland. Where it looks like... Agrabah!" I exclaimed. 

"I'll send him to fetch you immediately. I also try and get in touch with any locals in the area that are part of our liaisons." Mickey replied. 

"Right, so I'll just sit tight for now. What could possibly go wrong until then?" I shrugged.

"Ava, I want you to promise that you'll tread carefully from now on. Jafar is no one to mess with." Mickey cautioned. 

"I read you loud and clear Mickey." I replied with a smile. 

"Alright, over and out!" Mickey spoke before the screen went black. 

With a sigh, I slouched against the wall, my wrist trapped in the shackles of the chains. I tried pulling on them, seeing if there was a chance I could pull one of my hands free. 

"Come on, you stupid hunk of metal!" I hissed .

Whoever designed these did a pretty good job. I pulled and pulled for minutes on end. When my wrists started to get soar, I stopped, resting my head against the wall. 

"I guess all I can do now is wait." I muttered. 

"Wait no longer my friend!" A voice exclaimed. 

I looked up at the window to see a small red dragon poke it's head through the bars, looking down at me with a smile. 

"Mushu!" I smiled. 

"Sorry it took me so long. I was informed that pretty boy, and tiny tin monkey would be joining us so I had to wait." Mushu explained with a growl as he carefully climbed down the wall, landing on the chains. 

"Wait, who and who?" I asked him with confusion.

"Never mind that. I'll just melt these bad boys and have you out in a second." He replied. 

Mushu breathed in, and he was about to spit out his fire when a squeaky shout echoed in the room. We both glanced up to see a brown fur blur swoop in through the window and land on the other side of the shackles. It was a monkey, wearing a very familiar purple vest and red hat. He was yelling at Mushu, waving a fist at him. 

"What do you mean if I breathe out, I'll melt the chains and scorch her skin?" Mushu repeated.

"Wait, what?" I yelped with fear. "No scorching please!" 

"Hey, Abu!" A voice called. 

Hey, I knew it was Abu! I looked back up at the window to see a man's face behind the bars of the window. He had a face that almost resembled Tom Cruise, had tanned skin with black hair and brown eyes. He wore a red matching hat, just like Abu's, with a purple vest and white baggy pants. 

"Catch!" He spoke as he stuck his hand through the bars, dropping something from his hand. 

Abu caught it with his tail before pulling it over to his tiny fingers, and began using it to pick the lock. He unlocked one of the shackles as Mushu jumped down to the ground to give him some space to unlock the other one. 

"Oh sure, just take all the fun out of it!" Mushu complained. 

"Thanks Abu," I thanked the monkey as he unlocked the second shackle. I lowered my hands, rubbing my soar wrists before turning around, looking back up at the window to see the familiar Disney Character, waving at me. "And you must be Aladdin. Or should I say, 'Pretty Boy'?"

Aladdin rolled his eyes playfully with a chuckle. "Oh we just love Mushu's nicknames." 

"Alright, alright enough chit chat!" Mushu stated. "Avalyn, grab your Kimunicator, and let's blow this Popsicle stand." 

"No," I spoke firmly. "I'm not leaving without Sebastian and Ben. If we're going to take down Jafar, we're going to need their help. If he kidnapped them, maybe they're somewhere in his prison too." 

"I had Abu check out the other cells in this place, they're not here." Aladdin shook his head. 

"Aw cr--"

"LANGU--"

"Don't. Even!" I raised a hand at the little dragon, shushing him. "Okay, I really need to meet with Captain America soon, cause I cannot take this any longer." 

"Another day maybe." Aladdin suggested. 

"Is there anyway you can get rid of those bars?" I asked him.

He grabbed one of them, pulling on them with all of this strength. "Nope!" he huffed, letting go. "Sorry. They don't make them like they used to anymore."

"Hmmm..." I cupped my chin, slowly turning my body as I tried to think of alternate ways to escape this prison. I noticed a wooden door, gasping with hope, I ran for it, then tried kicking it down. It didn't even budge. "Guess they don't make these like they used to either." 

"Wait, I think I have an idea." Aladdin spoke up, snapping his fingers. 

"What is it?" I asked him.

He brought his fingers to his mouth, whistling. "You'll see."

I raised a brow at the man. "What was that supposed to--"

"COWABUNGA!" A blur of blue, and gold sped past me, making me spin around from the force of it before collapsing to the ground. 

I shook my head, stopping myself from getting too dizzy. "What the heck?"

"Hello Al, how ya doing? What's happening? I haven't heard from you in forever!" The blur exclaimed, looking up at his human friend through the window. "But, what are you doing up there for?"

Once I regained my sight, I looked up to see a blue genie. 

Wait... a genie?!

"G-G-Genie?" I spoke up.

He turned out, looking at me with surprise before he chuckled at himself, facepalming before he extended his hand out towards me. "So sorry, didn't see you there my friend." He helped me back up to my feet. "Pleased to meetcha, I'm the one and only Genie! Who are you? What's your name?" he asked me, twisting his tail as it turned into a microphone. 

"I'm Avalyn." I greeted. 

"Avalyn! What a wonderful name, maybe we should shorten it; it's rather long. Do you like Ava, or just Lyn? Or maybe just Alynn!" He suggested, my name showing up in lights as he materialized a stage sign. 

"Um, Ava is fine." I assured him. 

"Got'cha!" he smiled, snapping his fingers as the microphone and the sign vanished from thin air. 

"You think you can help me get out of this place?" I asked him. "It's a emergency!"

"Right-eo chosen one!" He answered, materializing a karate uniform as he bowed respectively. "And away we go!" With a snap of his fingers, I felt a surge of magic floating around me and before I knew it, in the blink of an eye, I was sitting next to Aladdin on flying carpet!

"Whoa!" I exclaimed, looking around the street of the Agrabah part of Adventureland. "Thanks Genie!"

"Not a problem! Well it seems our work here is done, come on boys, let's--"

"Wait!" I yelped.

I brought out my Kimunicator, scrolling through my contacts as I tried to get in touch with Sebastian. Nothing. Then I tried Ben, and no answer either. 

But Ben always answers my calls. 

"Something wrong?" Genie asked me with concern. 

"You, all of you, you've got to help me get my friends back!" I pleaded. "I could never face off against Jafar on my own, I haven't even BEGUN my training yet!"

Aladdin stepped forward, putting his hand on my shoulder.  "Hey, Ava, we've got your back. Just tell us what you need us to do."

Genie nodded in agreement, his smile only grew wider. "He's right! You give the order chosen one!" Genie flashed on a military uniform, saluting me.

I laughed at the blue being, loving every second on his antics. "True enough. First, we need to find Jafar. We find him, we're bound to found Ben and Sebastian. Any idea where his base of operations could be?" 

Something bumped my shin. I looked down to see Carpet forming a thumbs up with one of his tassels. Abu scampered up, setting himself up on Aladdin's shoulder as Genie flashed on some flight attendant clothes. 

"Ah, HELLO?!" Mushu yelled. 

We left him in the cage! Abu was the only one that climbed out! Genie, with a smug look on his face, snapped his fingers before Mushu materialized on my shoulder. He stuck his tongue out at the blue being, before propping himself down in front of me. 

"Please keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the carpet at all times. If you must exit, exits are all around you; just don't fall off." He cringed. "That would hurt."

Then, Carpet magically sky rocketed up into the sky. I looked down to see the entire view of the Magic Kingdom. No wonder they were separate dimensions! The World of Disney is MUCH bigger compared to the theme park. Off in the distance I could even see the other lands and parks like Epcot and them. 

"So Aladdin, you know Jafar best. Where does he like to hang around?" I asked him, looking over at the man. 

"Well for starters he was banished from the palace. But since he escaped from prison last night, characters have reported seeing a tall, cloaked man going into the desert." He explained. 

"The desert?" I questioned, raising a brow. 

"Yeah, and I have a feeling where exactly that man may be going." Aladdin replied, his expression turning serious. "Carpet, go faster."

Carpet picked up his speed as we left the city of Adventureland and ventured into the sandy seas. Skimming by hills of sand in the bright night sky. After what seemed like forever, I gasping seeing the sand sculpted shape of a giant panthers head, his mouth opened wide as a bright, glowing yellow light shined from inside his mouth. 

"The Cave of Wonders." I whistled. 

"Dang... there's a lot of mighty fine treasure in that vault!" Mushu grinned, his eyes twinkling like a diamond. 

"So, will the Cave of Wonders try to eat us alive with we touch any of the treasure buried there?" I asked Aladdin with worry. 

"Not this time no. Since genie's lab left it's home, we'll be safe." Aladdin assured me. 

Once we were close enough, Carpet glided down to the side, coming to a halt as it allowed me, Aladdin, Genie, and our two sidekicks to get off. 

"So, a quick recap on the plan here?" Genie suggested. 

"We go down there, rescue my friends, take down Jafar, and return Mickey's sorcerer hat to Philharmagic." I reminded. 

"Wait, Jafar took Mickey's hat?" Aladdin exclaimed with shock. 

I shushed him politely. "I think the hat's been infected by the Dark Anomalies. It was glitching and stuff when I last saw it." I spoke up. 

"The Dark Anomalies?!" Mushu yelped, looking like he was about to faint. 

"The hat is somewhat like a genie in a bottle. It only obeys the wearer. No one knows its limitations yet." Aladdin explained. "And if it's glitching out because of the Dark Anomalies, we could be in serious trouble."

"All the more reason to get the hat away from that whack-job." Genie added. "Can I get an amen?!"

I nodded at the genie before looking down into the tunnel. "Agreed," I sighed, clutching my hands into fists before picking Mushu up in my hands. "Let's go." 

I led the charge as we all made our way down the long staircase, lowering down into the belly of the beast. Once at the bottom, we entered into the first room of the cave, mountain loads of gold and treasure covering the entire room as a small trail leaked through the middle. If I wasn't so focused on finding my friends, I would have been marveled at the sight. 

And that's when I saw them. 

"Ben and Sebastian?" Aladdin whispered  

I froze, looking up at the arch that led into the next room. The boys wrists were tied behind their backs as their upper bodies were tied up and they were dangling in the air. 

"Mushu, cut them down." I commanded. 

"On it!" He charged forward, racing up a hill of cold coins before he leaped into the air, snatching himself into Sebastian. He climbed up his body, biting on the rope before jumping over to Ben as the British teen fell, landing on top of the golden hill, gliding down it gracefully as Mushu finished up with Ben, the blonde boy following behind him as Mushu hanged on to him for a ride back down. 

Once were reached the bottom, Aladdin and Genie prepped the boys to sit up against the hill, laying back against the coins. 

Aladdin checked for the pulses in their necks, his face turning pale. "I'm not getting a pulse from either of them, and they're not breathing."

Abu whimpered as he dragged a dagger over to us. I snatched it from him, cutting the Wizards free from their bonds. 

"How's that?" I asked the tanned man. 

He checked their pulses again, signing with aggression. "Nothing."

"Genie, can't you use your magic know-how to bring them back to life?" Mushu asked, clearing beginning to panic. 

"I can't bring people back from the dead! It doesn't end well!" Genie reminded, raising his hands in the air. 

"They're not dead!" I stated, raising my voice. 

It seemed to startle the rest of the group as they all seized their voices looking over at me. I sniffled, tears threatening to come out. 

"They... they can't be dead..." I spoke slowly. "I can't lose them on my first day on the job!" 

Ben had blood trickling out of his mouth. Sebastian had a large knot on his head. Both were barely breathing. Yeah, that was a pleasant sight. 

I bit my lip. "Oh, crap. Crap, crap, crap! What do I do?"

"You're a Disney Wizard aren't you? Use your magic." Aladdin suggested.

"My magic?" I asked with a sniffle, looking back at the man.

"Yeah, each Disney Wizards possesses one if the four categories of magic. There's Attack, Defensive, Healing, and Illusion magic." Genie explained. "I should know, I coach the Illusion Wizards."

"Hey, hey, hey that's it! You guys are on to something!" Mushu smiled as he snapped his claws. He stalked over to me, looking up at me as he placed a hand on my back. "You have the Healing element! Use it!" 

Now that I thought about it... What if I DID have healing magic? 

I took a deep breath, as each of my hands hovered over Ben and Sebastian's bodies. One by one I placed each hand on their chests and focused my attention on them, hoping and praying something would happen.

Turns out, something did happen! My hands started glowing a bright pink as the boy's bodies shined with them. Ben's blood stain disappeared, Sebastian's head wound was fixed and their skin wasn't pale anymore. I slowly moved my hands away as I never took my eyes off them. Sure enough, they began to stir and opened their eyes!

Ben and Sebastian groaned in unison, then their eyes flickered open.

I let out the breath I hadn't realized I had been holding in a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you two are okay! I was so worried!"

"Did anyone get the liscence plate of the thing that hit me? Oi, my head." Sebastian moaned as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Where are we?" Ben asked me as he slowly sat up, taking in his surroundings. "Aladdin? Genie?... And carpet's here too? What's going on?"

"There's no time to explain. But long story short, Jafar and Iago stole Mickey's hat, which has been infected by the Dark Anomalies, and Jafar is going to sell it to them because the Dark Anomalies hired him to steal it!" I spoke quickly. 

The boys exchanged glances with each other. Then their faces harden with determined smiles as they looked back at me, Sebastian raising a hand as he patted me on the shoulder. 

"Thanks for saving us Ava. We owe you one." He thanked. 

"Yeah, from here on out, we finish this as a team." Ben agreed. 

"You're going to need back up if you're going to go up against Jafar." Aladdin spoke up, crossing his arms with a smirk as everyone else stood by him. 

"Of course, the more the merrier!" I chuckled at them.

"Come on, let's take Jafar down!" Ben exclaimed as he led the way, all of us following him as we ran out of the first room and down the trail. 

"I just thought of something; Isn't Iago supposed to be like, a good guy now?" Sebastian spoke up with confusion.
