    • [x] Hey Maleficent! Don't gather the seven Princesses in one place, Xehanort plans to use them to forge a weapon of apocalyptic proportions!
    -[x] Seriously don't do it!

    "Hey Maleficent!" you shout. "Don't gather the seven Princesses in one place! Xehanort plans to use them to forge a weapon of apocalyptic proportions! Seriously, don't do it!"

    "You'll take no such tone of voice with me," the sorceress replies, talking at room volume yet still heard over the flames. "I do not take orders from the likes of you, Replica." You flinch at that, and she opens a dark corridor.

    Suddenly, Riku emerges from the many Heartless, but he quickly nods at you. "I got this," he whispers. "Milady, the Replica speaks the truth. If Xehanort is the one who creates this weapon, there will be no worlds for you to rule. Though we failed with the Keyhole, we have the Princess, so we have no further business here," he continues.

    "Indeed we do not," Maleficent replies, levitating Alice besides her. She turns to you quickly. "But we could make a trade. Give me the Keyblade and I will return the girl."

    You look at Alice, then the Keyblade, and finally Maleficent. You sigh, and decide to quote the real Sora. "I... can't. This is what lights the darkness. A chance to make everyone happy!"

    Maleficent scowls. "That logic is skewed. Darkness overcomes the light. The brightest light casts the darkest shadow, and all worlds will belong to me!" She does a dramatic cape swish and enters the dark corridor with Riku. Her laughter echoes across the Second District, and you turn to the Neoshadows.

    With a scream, you attack the Heartless in a fury, tears in your eyes at the events that just occured. And like whenever you're angry now, your eyes briefly flicker yellow as you destroy the final Neoshadow. "Anyone else want some?!" you yell at the Heartless. They immediately vanish, and you continue panting while holding onto the Keyblade tightly.

    • [x] Test Simba at Merlin's house.
    -[x] Try to establish something of an understanding so you can actually trust him in battle.
    --[x] Ask everyone, including Ven and Van, for advice after explaining basically everything that just happened, including why the hell Riku is working for Maleficent Angelina Jolie

    Running away from the Second District, you go straight to the Mystical House and run to Merlin. You quickly say almost too fast and trying to keep your anger in check... "MerlinI'dliketotestmynewsummoncanIcanI?" Merlin adjusts his glasses, and clears his throat.

    "Well then, Haru, the place to go is - why don't you follow me?" Merlin answers, before taking you to a lift of some sort. It leads to a large attic-like room, where furniture floats around. "You can test out summons here," he explains, gesturing towards the enchanted furniture. "Go ahead." You step forward and hold the summon gem to your chest.

    The gem begins glowing, and a light shoots out of it, going across the room and taking the form of a lion with a red mane, who lets out a roar, but his expression soon changes to that of confusion. His mane isn't as red as your hair though. A bit of satisfaction there after... well...

    "Where am I?" he asks, looking around the room.

    "You're in Traverse Town," you answer. "I'm Haru." You decide not to tell him the whole Replica thing.

    Simba looks you right in the eyes. "What am I doing here? Last I remember, Timon and I were having a bug-eating contest..." You shudder at the thought. "Then the ground started shaking..."

    You sigh. "It was the Heartless. They consumed your world, and now..." You imagine a shattered savannah with Pride Rock in the distance, with the only life being Pureblood Heartless... "It's trapped in the darkness."

    Simba flinches, but he straightens up immediately after. "How do I free it?" he says completely calm. Now you flinch. He seems just so lax about it. "How do I free it from the darkness?" he repeats.

    "Well," you say, a bit happier now. "It's a long process, but it starts with us teaming up to defeat the Heartless. Show me what you can do!"

    Simba smiles, and roars much louder, shaking the room and shattering windows. The enchanted furniture breaks apart, falling to the ground. "I'm Simba," he explains. You already knew that, but play along to be polite. "If you promise to free my world from the darkness, I'll be glad about coming to your aid, Haru."

    "I promise," you respond. "But why did you seem so calm except for that flinch after what I said? Why aren't you worried about your home?"

    The lion flinches again, but he smiles. "Because hakuna matata." With that, Simba vanishes. It makes you wonder...

    Where's your home?

    Is it Destiny Islands, since Sora was born there and you're his Replica? Is it the World That Never Was, since the Organization created you? You think on that on your way to the First District.

    When you reach the First District, you catch your breath and look at Squall, Yuffie, and Aerith. Beside them are Donald and Goofy.
    "Those fuckin' pinheads really didn't know what a navigational gummi was. Lockhart, I told ya I still can't find Cloud!"

    "So," you begin, "let me start from the beginning." You adjust your dandelion scarf in an attempt to emulate a dramatic breeze. "During the age of fairy tales, there was abundance of light that came from a legendary place called Kingdom Hearts. It was guarded by its counterpart, the χ-blade."

    "χ-blade? That sounds just like saying Keyblade," Aerith says, tilting her head in confusion.

    "It's because all Keyblades are imperfectly modeled after it," you explain. "And they were all used in an apocalyptic battle called the Keyblade War. It broke the χ-blade into twenty pieces - seven of light and thirteen of darkness."

    "It's the weapon, isn't it?" Yuffie asks.

    "This goes to my next point," you continue. "One of the seven lights is Alice. If Maleficent gathers all seven of them, she'll effectively have the light half of the χ-blade in her possession. Just like what Xehanort wants. As for Riku? He's likely feigning apprenticeship to Maleficent to try and find..." You gulp, not wanting to tell them about what you are after what happened only about half an hour ago. "Let's just change the subject. Any of you have any clue of what I should do? Advice?"

    Varying forms of "no" emerge from the five of them. You sigh, and even the two bickering voices have no idea. Well, except Vanitas, who still wants you to ally with him. You look up at the sky and see a star go out. Squall hands you a scroll. It looks like one for Spark...

    What to do now?

    -----[X] Find Cloud if he's there and tell him about the people looking for him.
    ------[X] If they tagged along, well, good on them
    -------[X] Keep trying to mediate between Ven and Van

    Before you head off, you go off to Merlin's to check for Pooh's book. But like almost every time you cross the the Third District to get to Merlin's, Heartless show up. Again. This time, just Armored Knights, Blue Rhapsodies, Green Requiems, and Air Soldiers. There's also these weird sphere-shaped Heartless with bat wings and flames on top of them and Pureblood Heartless that resemble bats.

    You decide to experiment, and try Sonic Blade. With that, you rocket across the plaza through the Heartless, and follow up with combos. Using this, you begin destroying as many Heartless as you can, and you eventually begin attacking a lot faster.
    ​
    Going through the Heartless, you continue attacking until they've all been destroyed, finishing with five lines of energy. "Was that Fever Pitch?" you whisper to yourself. Afterwards, you go through the fire door to Merlin's house. Crossing the bridge, you peek inside. Yep, there's Pooh's book. But you don't have any pages of it yet.

    Making a mental note, you decide to get every page. Stopra and a good summon are things. Former's practically required to beat Phantom and the latter's good for Kurt Zisa.

    With that off your checklist, you return to the First District. Following the voice, you end up near the Accessory Shop, where you see Cid talking with Tifa. "You guys looking for Cloud?" you ask. Wait how is she-

    "Wait, you've seen him?!" Tifa exclaims. "I thought he was..."

    "Dead?" you interrupt. "Hell no. He's in a nearby world, called Olympus Coliseum. He's, uh..." You decide not to tell them about Zack's death. Vanitas laughs about it because of its impact on Ven.

    Tifa looks you straight in the eyes. "Take me there ASAP."

    You laugh. "Well, I was going there anyway. A tournament's being held there, and I'm going to kick some ass!" You give Tifa and Cid a cocky grin, and the latter for some reason gives you a thumbs up.

    Afterwards, you and Tifa walk through the doors, with Donald and Goofy close behind. "Hm, Cid built one of these things," Tifa says, looking at the gummi ship. "And one of the refugees, a craftsman named Geppetto, actually has shown interest."

    Wait, Geppetto's already in Traverse Town?! You remember he was eaten by Monstro, but how did he...

    You decide not to think of it, since it's starting to give you a headache. All of you get on the gummi ship, and Donald sets course for Olympus Coliseum. "Activate the warp drive, Goofy!" Donald yells. Goofy proceeds to press a button, and it feels like the gummi ship just went into hyperspace.

    Just ten seconds later, the ship appears in front of the world, and lands on a ridge with a view of the Greek countryside. All four of you enter the Coliseum Gates, where Tifa sees Cloud and runs to him.

    You, Donald, and Goofy walk around the Hercules statue, and enter the lobby. "Hey Red!" Phil says, pointing at you. "If ya wanna join th' Phil Cup, you're outta luck. Last spot is reserved for Master Aqua's apprentice and his two junior heroes, for their bravery in Cerberus' attack on the Coliseum."

    "We're right here!" Donald shouts, glaring at the satyr.

    "But where's Sora?" Phil demands. "He's the leader of your group, right? Unless all three of ya are here, you can't enter."

    You frown. "I'm standing right here," you tell him.

    "Red, ya look nothing like Sora. He's-"

    "I KNOW JUST WATCH THIS." You proceed to summon the Kingdom Key, and Phil's eyes go wide. Next, you attempt to juggle the Keyblade. Unfortunately, it falls onto your head and causes you to fall flat on your ass.

    You are not a good juggler.

    "Hm, that's Sora's weapon," Phil remarks. "Looks exactly like it, and ya seem to be-"

    "Would Master Aqua approve?" you interrupt. Phil visibly flinches, and looks to the Keyblade, then to you.

    "Well Red, if you really are Sora if he was transformed or something like that, I'll let ya in. You have his weapon, and seem to be an apprentice to Aqua..." He shrugs. "Sure, go ahead. Welcome to the Phil Cup."

    "Thanks! But call me Haru," you say to him. The satyr nods, and he lets the three of you in. "Guys?" you whisper to Ven and Vanitas. "Can you please stop bicker-"

    Fuck off.​

    You sigh, and address Ven. "Any words of advice?"

    Yep! Go for it!​

    "Thanks Ven," you reply. "And did you notice Phil pretty much stopped being stubborn after I mentioned Aqua? Do you think he has..."

    Yeah, it looks like he has a crush on her.​

    You laugh, and enter the arena.

    • [x] Experiment during the tournament.
    --[x] Focus on trying to learn level 2 spells.
    --[x] Try and learn shotlocks.
    --[x] Play with command styles.
    --[X] Get Ven and Van's advice on how to fight while using them.
    -[X] Try using any and all physical skills you remember (Keyblade throwing, that sort of thing)

    The tournament starts! First round is Powerwilds, Aerial Knockers, and Soldiers. You decide to try learning Sliding Dash first, and put the Keyblade against the ground. Then, you try propelling yourself over at a Soldier, and destroy it quickly. Woohoo! Next, you go for the other Heartless that Donald and Goofy haven't finished off.

    Soon, you've defeated them all. Time for round 2! Powerwilds, Red Nocturnes, Green Requiems, and Yellow Operas. This time, you attempt a Fira. You try focusing and charging up a Fire spell, pointing the Keyblade at a Powerwild. However, it ends up being a regular Fire, but it pierces through two of the Powerwilds that were unluckily in a line. Next, you shoot a Blizzard towards the ground, and when a Yellow Opera floats over it, it freezes solid and you destroy it

    Round 3 is against Guard Armor's legs, Hammer Frames, and surprise surprise, more Powerwilds. This one's rather frustrating, due to those stupid Hammer Frames. You have to cast Aero to help shield yourself, and use Thunder to defeat the assholish Heartless, so you can focus on Guard Armor's legs. You decide to try experimenting with Shotlocks, and attempt to do Ven's default one, Flame Salvo.

    Trying to do a Shotlock on the legs, you see that it doesn't seem to be working. Though you do try emulating it, by rapid-casting Fire until you get a headache. "Goofy, Ether!" you shout. Said dog throws it to you, and you feel the headache go away. Partial success, at least. Eventually, you destroy the legs.

    Next up are Red Nocturnes and Yellow Operas. This time, you decide to try the technique you used against Trickmaster. Though there's no table, you hold the Keyblade by the chain and spin it around in front of you. However, you don't call an attack in Japanese this time around. You still seem rather rusty at it, but hey, at least it's better than how it did back in Wonderland!

    After this is a Large Body accompanied by Dire Plants, Armored Knights, and Bouncywilds. For this one, you try doing Sonic Blade in an attempt to activate Fever Pitch again. Soon, you feel a surge of power, and attack much faster again. "Ven, am I doing it right?" you ask. "Just wondering if this is how you fought in Fever Pitch."

    Pretty much. Well, other than how I held my Keyblade in a reverse grip, and did more spins.

    The way to use that is to just do nothing. Just surrender this dumb tournament. Not enough bloodshed in my opinion.

    Don't listen to him. Crankiness while mildly psychotic is his default emotion. But never mind that! You're on a roll, Haru!    ​

    "Thanks," you tell Ven, smiling. In Fever Pitch, you quickly dispatch the Large Body and some Armored Knights, while Goofy defeats the Dire Plants and Donald the Bouncywilds.

    Next up? Guard Armor's gauntlets,
    Blue Rhapsodies, and Shadows. Still in Fever Pitch, you end with the five energy lines on the gauntlets. The battle is smooth sailing from then on, and so is the tournament!

    The next few rounds are a breeze, then you get to the final round. Guard Armor's torso, Blue Rhapsodies, Yellow Operas, and a single Living Bone. You tell Donald and Goofy to take care of the spell-slinging Heartless, while you deal with the others.

    You decide to try another of your version of Flame Salvo, and the rapid-fire spells stagger the Living Bone, letting you finish it off with a Fire Raid. Then you turn to the torso, and attack! Compared to how it was back in Traverse Town, the torso's much easier. But still, you decide to end it the same way. "Goofy, launch me!" you yell. The dog runs over and you jump on his shield. Goofy then raises the shield towards the sky, launching you into the air.

    You try and position yourself so you're right above the torso, and you swing downward with the Keyblade, sending it crashing against the ground. There, it violently explodes. You've won the Phil Cup!

    Going back into the lobby, you're greeted by Phil's applause. "You did great, Red!" Phil exclaims.

    "We were awesome!" you boast. Hm, you're thinking higher of battle than Sora did. And being a bit more cocky. You feel your chest, and you have this sensation that your heart's grown a lot since you were last here. Though back then, you didn't know you were a Replica. In other news, Phil hands you a scroll. It seems to be for Gravity, so perhaps you can cast it easier?

    You look at the trophy, and notice the little horns. So now what...

    ---[X] Name drop Aeris and Yuffie being in Traverse Town
    ----[X] Say goodbye and go to Agrabah

    You go out to the Coliseum Gates, and Heartless pop up. Perfect. You point the Kingdom Key at a Hook Bat, and cast Gravity, sending the bat hurdling towards the ground. You repeat the process on a Li'l Cannon, before finishing it off with Blizzard. Last but not least, you do one last Gravity to finish off the final Heartless. "Ven? Vanitas? Could I have some advice on why I can't use Shotlocks?" you ask them.

    Because FUCK YOU

    Quiet. Anyway, I don't know to be precise. Perhaps because they use a different source than magic? At least, that's my theory.​

    "Hm," you respond. "Well, that sucks." You proceed to add "learn how to Shotlock" to your list of goals. Soon, you see Tifa and Cloud. "Hey, you two!" you call. "You getting along?"

    "Of course," Tifa says, smiling. "Right, Cloud?"

    "Mm."

    "Oh, Cloud. I should tell you this; Yuffie, Cid, and Aerith are all in Traverse Town." Cloud looks up at you.

    "Wait, Aerith's alive?" he asks in shock. "I thought he killed her in the chaos of well... leaving Hollow Bastion." You have an idea who "he" is, and theorize that "he" was the one who killed Zack.

    "No, she's alive and well," you say. But a part of you shudders about the thought of that Aerith might be a ghost.

    For the first time, Cloud smiles. "Thank you for telling me that."

    You smile back. "Well, see you two later..." And so, you, Donald, and Goofy disembark from Olympus Coliseum and enter the Lanes Between. You spend the ride in the cabin, looking outside the window as you pass Deep Jungle... but you see something sand-colored in the distance, and your mood lifts. You run up towards the cockpit.

    "There it is, guys!" you tell Donald and Goofy cheerfully. "Agrabah!"
    ​

    "Let's land!" you exclaim, the gummi ship flying over the desert before you remove your hoodie. You're in a desert after all! But you keep it just in case, since deserts can be cold at night. So instead, you wear it as a turban!

    Majestic.
    ​
    You and the others then appear outside the city of Agrabah itself. Entering the city gates, you look around at where you are. The buildings are packed together, built from sandstone and some connected through walkways. Stalls are set up along the sides of the street that you're on, manned by people selling all kinds of wares. A camel spits on Donald.

    Weaving through the crowd, you can barely hear anything over the hustle and bustle of the marketplace. Soon, you hear a scream across the market, and the crowd scatters. With the crowd gone, you see why there was a scream. Heartless. It's just some Bandits and a Fat Bandit.

    ​
    Four Bandits, one Fat Bandit. Hm... you try what you did against Trickmaster and in the Phil Cup again, but to more success this time. You spin the Keyblade around by the chain like a windmill, tearing through a Bandit. Then, you imbue it with fire and destroy another one.

    You then cast Gravity and knock a Bandit up into the sphere, before slamming it towards the ground, just like Guard Armor. Lastly, you do a Blizzard Raid. More Bandits and now Air Soldiers appear, and you rapidly cast Thunder!

    After the spamming, your attacks seem to also zap your foes. Thunder Bolt? That leaves the Fat Bandit.

    You focus on the Fat Bandit, trying to aim carefully, when many beams shoot out of the Keyblade and rapidly hit the fat Heartless. More and more beams hit the Heartless, until it's destroyed. Another Fat Bandit shows up, but you use Thunder Bolt's finisher to defeat it.

    Now that the Heartless are destroyed, the streets become lively again. You yourself look for the entrance to Aladdin's house, and when you find it, you climb up the pole.

    It hurts to be here.​

    You see Carpet trapped beneath a desk, and push it with all your strength. But as you almost finish freeing it...

    "Wait! Don't!" But it's too late, as Carpet flies out the hole in the wall.

    AGH! Get out of this room, idiot! There's another of THEM here!​

    Apparently, a woman has been hiding behind the pots in the corner. Jasmine.

    Didn't you hear me?! Get away from that girl! Her heart... there's no darkness in it! Just like the little brat you failed to save!​

    "He wanted Carpet to stay here, and that was the only way it would!" she says angrily. But then she sighs and shrugs. "Since you helped Carpet, you couldn't be working for Jafar... so I'm Jasmine, and my father is the sultan of Agrabah."

    "What's a sutton?" Goofy asks.

    "Sultan," she corrects. "How could you not know? He's the monarch of all of Agrabah."

    "Uh-"

    "We're out of towners!" you quickly cut in. She gives you an "are you kidding me" look. "So, it looks like Agrabah's in the midst of a crisis with Jafar?"

    "In a manner of speaking," Jasmine answers. "He's hypnotized my father with his magic and made him a figurehead... and there are those monsters he commands now."

    • [X] Plot to raid the palace to break Jafar's brainwashing on the sultan.
    -[X] Ask Jasmine if there's an easy way into the palace. Maybe an entrance few people know about.

    "Alright," you tell them all. "We're gonna break into the palace."

    "WHAT?!" everyone shouts.

    "Haru, that's crazy!" Goofy exclaims.

    "The only way to snap the sultan out of Jafar's hypnosis is to go to the source," you explain. You then turn to Jasmine. "Jasmine, are there any easy ways into the palace?"

    Jasmine nods. "Yes, there's a tree in the garden with a branch overhanging one of the palace walls. Put a wooden pole by the wall and you can climb up there."

    "Ah, thanks," you respond.

    "It wasn't how I got out though," she says. "There's another way, though it's riskier. Every hour and a half, the guards of the palace's front doors change. I snuck out after my father was hypnotized, but Jafar caught me... but he helped me."

    Probably Aladdin.

    "Aladdin left for the desert a while ago, and with Carpet gone, no doubt after Aladdin to the Cave of Wonders. I'm worried.."She's blushiiiiiiing.

    "Aladdin? And where might I find this street rat?" You turn to see Jafar coming up the stairs. He looks around Aladdin's house with spite. "Come now, Princess. Allow me to find you more suitable company, as these rats won't do. Especially this one." He eyes you as he says this. Maleficent must have told him about your status as a Replica.

    • [X] Piss him off. He can't go after Aladdin if he's focused on you.
    -[X] "The only rat I see here is the one wearing that gaudy outfit with the lame snake staff. Seriously, how much more of a cliche villain can you be?"
    --[X] "Not to mention pathetic. To have to rely on a fairy to help you become Sultan must be insulting for one who claims to be a powerful sorcerer. I bet you can't even control the Heartless she gave you properly, can you? Hell, you're probably just a low-level lackey that she'll throw away as soon as she sees just how much of a screw-up you are!"
    [X] Have Donald and Goofy get Jasmine to safety while you hold off Jafar.
    -[X] If they see a loud mouthed Parrot flying around, make sure they disable it so it can't get back to Jafar later.

    You decide to piss Jafar off, grinning. "What are you so happy about, Replica?" Jafar demands, pointing his snake staff at you.

    "The only rat I see here is the one wearing that gaudy outfit with the lame snake staff. Seriously, how much more of a cliché villain can you be?" you ask. Jafar frowns. His eye twitches.

    "Not to mention pathetic. To have to rely on a fairy to help you become sultan must be insulting for one who claims to be a powerful sorcerer. I bet you can't even control the Heartless she gave you properly, can you?" you continue, as Jafar's twitch gets worse. "Hell, you're probably just a low-level lackey that she'll throw away as soon as she sees just how much of a screw-up you are!"

    "Enough!" Jafar yells, shooting a beam from his staff. You Dodge Roll out of the way, and it goes out the window.

    "Donald! Goofy! Get Jasmine out of here!" you tell them. "I'll hold Jafar off, and if you see a loud-mouthed parrot, disable it so it can't get back to Jafar later!" They nod, and usher Jasmine out of Aladdin's house.

    "Wait, what's a Replic-" Jasmine's voice leaves your hearing range. Oh shit. Jafar glares at you, his staff's red eyes violently glowing.

    "As punishment for your insults and for your actions against my future queen..." Jafar raises his staff as he radiates darkness. "I call upon the lord of the desert, Kurt-" You throw a spice jar at him, which bonks him in the head.

    "How dare you!" he snaps. You blow a raspberry at him, and Jafar shoots another laser from his staff in response.

    "Try and summon Kurt again, and what I'll throw will be much bigger," you say darkly, looking at a loose brick as you dodge again. "So long, Señor Psychopath!" You then jump out the hole in the wall with a view of the palace while holding a cloth like a parachute, and you see Bandits jump out of the hole after you. When you land, Icy Cubes, Yellow Operas, Fire Plants, and Loudmouths appear. Small fry.

    You easily defeat the Heartless, wiping out some of them with a Meteor Shower. With the street clear, you go into a nearby alleyway, and look as you see more Bandits stampeding down the street looking for you.

    With the streets clear, you go looking for Donald, Goofy, and Jasmine. It's hard getting through the afternoon crowd in the marketplace, but then you see Iago in the sky, before he gets pulled down by a Gravity spell. You squeeze through the crowd and reach a side street, where Donald has Iago in his grip.

    You look at Iago. "I'm gonna have some words with you," you say to the parrot. "I don't want you getting any funny ideas."

    "Let me go!" Iago shouts. "Jafar made me do this! Blame him!"

    "You're still not getting off the hook," you tell him. "I'm not against locking you up - or worse - if you continue to be a nuisance." Iago gulps and lifts his wings in surrender. "Thought so."

    "Haru," Jasmine cuts in, "why did Jafar call you a 'Replica?' Does that mean you're not human?" You sigh.

    "Yeah Jasmine, it does," you confess, looking at the sky. "I'm... a clone of somebody very important to me and my friends. And since that somebody has gone missing, I have to use this weapon in his stead." Jasmine looks terrified.

    "Then what are you?" she asks, backing away from you slowly.

    "Someone who wants to protect everybody and give them a happy ending, including you and Aladdin," you answer, smiling. "And Jasmine? You're in huge danger. Want to know why Jafar has allied with those monsters? He needs your heart."

    "I know, but I will never marry him," she says, frowning.

    "No, he literally needs your heart. It has no darkness in it, and along with six other women..." You can't help but cringe as you think back to Alice and Kairi. "Something really bad will happen if all seven hearts are extracted."

    Jasmine looks down the street. "This is... a lot to take in," she comments.

    "Goofy here can help you get in a place Jafar won't be able to find you," you explain.

    "You do realize you're meddling again," Donald points out, and you give him a death glare in response.

    Goofy nods. "C'mon, Jasmine," he says, taking her to the gummi ship. You then leave Agrabah, where you see Carpet.

    "Carpet, are you able to help me find Aladdin?" you ask it. Carpet does the equivalent to a nod, before allowing you on it. "Let's go."

    Carpet then zooms off over the desert, and you take off your dandelion scarf to use it as a way to fan yourself. The sky soon gets darker as you reach a rockier area of the desert. Right away, you notice the quicksand. You jump off Carpet, using your hoodie as a parachute and landing near the quicksand, where a Large Armor appears. "Don't worry, Aladdin, I've got this!" you tell him as you fight the Heartless. Eventually it falls over, allowing you to finish it off with Fire. You then hear a faint rubbing.

    "Genie, I wish I was out of the quicksand!" you hear, before seeing Genie emerge.

    "ALRIGHT!" Genie cheers. "One quicksand-free Al, coming right up!" Aladdin then rises out of the quicksand, and lands near you, coughing. He gets up and dusts himself off.

    "Thanks for getting rid of that monster," Aladdin says. "I'm Aladdin. Who are you?"

    "Haru," you reply, "and Jasmine's safe." Aladdin sighs in relief. The two of you then get on Carpet. No Organization XIII yet.

    -[X] Introduce yourself.
    --[X] "Jafar's the one commanding the Heartless, we need to take him out."
    ---[X] If he wants to see Jasmine, take him to her. If he would rather take Jafar out first, head over to the palace. Either way, explain the situation on the way to your destination:
    ----[X] "Taking out Jafar will only solve the problem in the short term. Princess Jasmine is a princess of heart, meaning she has a Heart of pure Light. Normally this isn't a bad thing, but it makes her a target for creatures of darkness and those who command them."
    -----[X] "The last princess got captured after we left her in what we thought was a safe place. So clearly some more active security is needed. Unfortunately, we can't stay here to defend the princess because we have to go rescue the other ones."

    [X] Talk to Genie
    -[X] Ask if Aladdin can temporarily lend his lamp to Jasmine so she can make a wish to protect herself.
    --[X] Avoid asking for the lamp yourself, no matter how tempted you are. It might make them mistrust you.

    While riding on Carpet, you decide to talk to Aladdin. "My name's Haru," you introduce, smiling.

    "Aladdin," he greets.

    "Jafar's the one commanding the Heartless," you explain, becoming more serious. "We have to take him out."

    "I knew that two-faced son of a jackal had something to do with those monsters," Aladdin says coldly. "He wants to become sultan, but the only way he can do so is by marrying into royalty, according to Jasmine."

    "But he's so old," you point out. "And it's obvious he's evil, just LOOK at the guy! Yet I interrupted him by throwing a spice jar at him." And thank god you did. He would have summoned Kurt Zisa if you hadn't, who probably would've captured Jasmine in an instant.

    "First tell me," he asks you, "is she safe?"

    "Yep. Very safe."

    "Good. Then we need to stop Jafar," Aladdin says, as you see Agrabah in the distance.

    "Taking out Jafar will only solve the problem in the short term," you explain. "Princess Jasmine is a Princess of Heart, meaning she has a heart of pure light. Normally this isn't a bad thing, but it makes her a target for the Heartless and those who command them."

    "So she needs even more protection?" Aladdin asks you. "Not just from Jafar, but even after he's defeated, the Heartless?"

    "Exactly," you answer. "The last Princess got captured after we left her in her hometown, which we thought was safe. So clearly we need to up the security, even after we go to rescue the other five." You hope that if you're right, Maleficent had left Hollow Bastion to converse with Jafar. Maybe Riku's enacting his own plans? You did send Maleficent's plans kinda off the rails by telling him those things... next, you turn to Genie.

    "Genie?" you ask.

    "Yyyyyyeeeeesssss?" Genie says in response, flying by Carpet.

    "Is Aladdin able to briefly lend your lamp to Jasmine? She should make a wish to protect herself."

    "Well kid," Genie explains, "whoever has the lamp calls the shots! It's one of the iron-clad rules! But I only can grant wishes for people from this world." Well then...

    Carpet soon flies over Agrabah, and the palace is in the distance. Riku stands on a rooftop nearby in a black cloak, and holding somebody.

    [] Storm the palace.
    [] Ask Aladdin if you can quickly borrow Carpet. If he agrees, ride around Agrabah to quickly survey it in case of Nobodies.

    You jump off of Carpet, using your hoodie as a parachute, you float down to the rooftop Riku is on. "Hi, Riku," you greet. You then take him into an alleyway, with no one on it. Then you go insi

    "Hey, Haru," Riku says back, clearly weirded out by you taking him here. You look at who he's holding, but before you can ask who it is, you notice the blonde hair. You freeze in place in both terror and a bit of joy.

    It's Alice.

    "Riku..." you begin, "why the hell do you have Alice with you?! How'd you get her free?!?" Riku gives you a smug grin.

    "I waited," he answered, "until Maleficent left Hollow Bastion to talk to Jafar. That's when I made my move. The other reason? Because it's right."

    "Uh, but won't Maleficent notice Alice is missing?!" you say with a suspicious look on your face. "And what about the Heartless? Hollow Bastion's filled to the brim with powerful Heartless!"

    "Again, I have that covered," Riku said, "by making it look like she was kidnapped by Nobodies. Well, kinda. There were Nobodies in the castle's underground waterways. Which was perfect for me to sabotage Maleficent's plans. So I decided to break the glass prison Alice was in. I wasn't able to save the other Princesses, though."

    "Gutsy, that's for sure," you comment. "Still trying to stay away from the darkness?" He nods. "Can you try not to do that again?" you ask him. "You don't Maleficent to get suspicious and brainwash you. She's too proud for her own good, but still, she's not dumb."

    "I know," Riku says, looking out the window, "but I don't think that'll work again either. Also..." He sighs. "There's still no sign of Sora."

    "Figures," you say to yourself. But you have this feeling in your heart - wait, your heart? It's...

    Yep, Haru. It is.​

    It's fully grown. You have a complete heart now.

    [] "Join us in storming the palace. But try keeping your hood on, since if Jafar sees your face, he could rat on you to Maleficent. And she'd be fucking pissed."

    Thanks to what you all did with Riku back in Traverse Town, he's become a double agent. He's sabotaging Maleficent's plans, while using the black cloak to cover for himself there, so she doesn't get suspicious.

    "Riku, good luck in searching for Sora," you start, "and keep an eye out for Kairi's body. If you can find that, you can bring it to me so I can wake her up. Also, I'll take care of Alice from here."

    Riku nods. "Alright. Will do," he says, smiling. He puts Alice down, and you pick her up. Riku then puts on his hood and runs down the street, before turning.

    With that, you proceed to stay hidden as you take Alice back to the gummi ship as quickly as you can. Getting onboard, you quickly say hi to Jasmine and Goofy before putting Alice down in one of the vacant cabins. Next, you get off and see Aladdin approach on Carpet with Genie and Donald.

    "Alright guys," you tell them, "it's time to storm the castle!" Donald and Aladdin both nod, and Genie grins as you get on Carpet.

    "Have fun storming the castle!" Genie says while dressed as an old miracle worker. He proceeds to enter the lamp.

    Carpet then flies through the street until it reaches a part of Agrabah closer to the palace. You and Donald destroy any Heartless you pass by, until Carpet lands in an alcove. When all of this is over, you're probably gonna break down in tears of joy about finally getting your own heart.

    ---[X] Or Kurt. Jafar may have summoned him to guard the palace.

    Time to storm the palace castle! The three of you sneak through the streets of Agrabah, under the cover of the sunset. You put on your hoodie, since the desert gets cold at night. You see the branch Jasmine must've been talking out, and cast Gravity, but not strong enough to break the branch. You all climb up.

    All of you drop into what seems to be the palace's garden. Sora's never visited here. You see a fountain, trees along the edge, and stairs leading into the palace. All of you get on guard in case of an ambush. And surprise surprise, right as you land, Heartless immediately appear.

    You draw your weapons, and ready for a battle. "I thought you street rats were responsible for why Iago hasn't returned, and it looks like I'm right," you hear. You all turn around, and see Jafar at the top of the stairs. "And what's that? You brought the lamp straight to me!"

    "Jafar!" Aladdin yells, pulling out a scimitar. The sorcerer looks at Aladdin, and his eyes narrow.

    "Just give me the lamp and go back to your hole, street rat," he says snidely. Aladdin looks at the lamp, and rubs it as Genie appears.

    "Genie!" Aladdin yells. Genie then looks down at him. "Find-"

    Jafar shoots a beam at Aladdin, and you parry it with the Keyblade. He glares at you, and shoots another beam at the ground. There's a small explosion as the two of you dodge the attack. You look towards the stairs, and only see a black cloud there.

    Just then, Jafar appears right in your path, firing a point blank beam that sends the two of you flying. You cast Cure, and run to the lamp on the ground, increasing your speed with Sliding Dash.

    Right as you grab it, you see Jafar grabbing it at the same time. "Give me the lamp," he growls. His snake staff is on the ground, while Aladdin gets up, battling Heartless.

    -[X] You, Donald, and Goofy will handle the rest of the Heartless.

    You proceed to spit in Jafar's face and hit him in the groin with the flat side of the Keyblade. The sorcerer screams, and stares at you with hatred in his eyes. Next, you go for the staff, but Jafar quickly reaches towards it, as if he nabbed something from it as the wind, for some reason, starts to pick up.
    What… are those things? asks Ven.
    Now, you proceed to destroy the staff with Fire Edge, attacking it over and over again until nothing's left of it but tiny melted shards. But then, you hear Jafar laugh. You turn, and though he's leaning on the fountain to stand, something's in his hands. Two rubies, but more importantly, the lamp.

    "A necessary sacrifice," Jafar says weakly, panting in between his words. "But while you destroyed my staff, I took the lamp!" You shoot a Blizzard spell across the courtyard, and slide on the trail of ice it leaves right at him, seeing how he still seems weak from your groin attack. Still, he does have his mitts on the lamp, which he's rubbing...
    He didn't grab it, these weird, hooded ghost THINGS did!
    You throw your Keyblade in a Strike Raid, in an attempt to knock the lamp out of Jafar's hands. However, Heartless appear in front of him as Genie emerges. "Al, it's the middle of the- Iiiiii don't think you're him," he says, before pulling out a script. "Tonight, the part of Al will be played by a tall, dark, and sinister, UGLY man," Genie reads, only for said man to shove him to the ground as he radiates darkness.

    Jafar then stomps on Genie's face. "I am your master now!" he yells.

    "I was afraid of that," Genie mutters.

    "Genie, grant me my first wish! Bring Princess Jasmine to me!" Jafar demands, cruelly grinning as a new staff rises from the darkness, and using that to stand after placing the rubies in.

    Genie sighs and snaps his fingers, and Jasmine appears in the air. Jafar then turns to see you, and chains fire out of his staff to wrap you up. "I have almost as much command over the darkness as Maleficent herself!" he boasts before immobilizing Aladdin and Donald, who had finished off the minor Heartless, leaving just the six of you.

    "I call hacks!" you shout. "This is fucking cheating!" Jafar rolls his eyes.

    "I used the resources available to me. Now then, weddings do take time to prepare, and you fools will forever hold your peace!"

    Jafar then shoots a laser from his new staff at the fountain, which explodes in a pillar of water. Next, he shoots at the foliage around the garden, which bursts into flame. Then, two obese floating Heartless appear, one a fiery orange and the other an icy blue. Jafar then teleports away, leaving you with the two elemental lords. The blue one goes into the air.

    You see Aladdin rush at the Volcanic Lord, attacking it with a flurry of hits before going to the remains of the fountain. The Volcanic Lord immediately starts bouncing around the ruined garden, leaving behind flames. It bounces towards you, but right when it's above you, you stab it with the Keyblade and fling it towards the Blizzard Lord.

    The two elemental Heartless collide, and you throw a Blizzard Raid at the Volcanic Lord, before attacking it with Blizzard Edge. You then jump up into the air and onslaught it with an aerial combo as you avoid its staff attack. Soon, the Volcanic Lord makes a flame shield that produces Fiery Globe Heartless.

    With a shield up, the Volcanic Lord goes up into the air as the Blizzard Lord descends into the garden. "Donald, distract the blue one! Aladdin, call Carpet!" you yell. Almost immediately, Carpet zooms in, and you and Aladdin jump on.

    "You had one job, Aladdin," you say to the thief, scowling. Carpet weaves around the icicles the Blizzard Lord is shooting, before it flies up to where the Volcanic Lord is.

    "Sorry..." he responds, looking rather remorseful. "I messed up by going for the Heartless."

    "Oh, you did, alright! Now Jasmine's in trouble because of your fuck-up!" you shout at him while shooting at the Volcanic Lord with Meteor Shower. "Fuck up like this again, and you're gonna have to be the one to watch Iago. Dunno who is now, but you get my point?!"

    "Yeah, I do," Aladdin replies, actually looking scared at the thought of watching Iago. You fire a Blizzard at the Volcanic Lord, and Carpet lands as you use Fire Windmill to greet the Blizzard Lord. The Blizzard Lord then breathes an icy wind, freezing Carpet inside an ice cube. The cold breath leaves the ground frozen over.

    On the eastern side of the garden is Donald, who's still trying to keep the Blizzard Lord's attention. "Donald!" you call.

    "Yeah?"

    "Free Carpet!" you tell him. "Carefully!" Donald nods and casts Fire on the ice block containing it. Soon, Carpet is free, allowing you and Aladdin to do another aerial assault. But...

    You focus on the Blizzard Lord, and try to unleash a Flame Salvo Shotlock on it. Well, it partially succeeded, as fireballs shoot from the Keyblade, unlike in the Phil Cup. The Blizzard Lord makes a snowstorm, shielding itself as Icy Cubes and a Snowy Crystal appear. The Volcanic Lord descends into the courtyard, and right as it does, you and Aladdin kick off Trick Fantasy.

    Both of you rapidly attack the Volcanic Lord, before diving at it multiple times. Then, you both do a flurry of hits on the elemental Heartless. It begins bouncing again, but like before, you use that to fling it at the Blizzard Lord. It tries going up in the air. "No you don't!" you yell, casting Gravity and sending the Volcanic Lord hurtling to the ground. You then attack it with Blizzard Edge...

    And the Volcanic Lord goes up in flames, with a heart floating up into the night sky. The Blizzard Lord seems pissed.

    The enraged Blizzard Lord creates an enormous blizzard around the garden, before you see it rushing towards you as you narrowly avoid its staff. Holy shit, that's cold! It then begins inhaling, and you see your cue. You hit it in the face with the Keyblade and send it flying into the walls of the palace.

    You see it coming towards you with its staff, but this time, huge snowballs drop from the sky. You dodge as much as you can, but this time, you parry the staff. Next, you notice Donald frozen solid, and after you break him out of the ice, you cast Gravity on the Blizzard Lord.

    Afterwards, you attack the Heartless with Fire Windmill and Fire, and cue Donald to help you out. You keep casting simultaneously with the mage, and continue bombarding the Blizzard Lord with fireballs. The Heartless floats up, but you simply cast Gravity.

    Now on the ground, the Blizzard Lord summons an immense snowstorm that would no doubt cause a whiteout. But you? You walk into the snowstorm after casting Aero, not flinching even as the snow bites at your skin. Then you focus. You look around for the Heartless, until you see its eyes.

    You unleash a powerful Flame Salvo on the Heartless, the storm subsiding as snow floats in the air. All of you watch as the Shotlock hits the Blizzard Lord, and afterwards, it seems to be on its last legs. It inhales much faster, and you do one last Blizzagun. You smirk, and once again send it flying into the side of the palace.

    The Blizzard Lord begins shaking, and it glows brightly until it vanishes, with a heart floating up into the night sky. A blue crystal drops to the ground, from its staff, and glows alongside you and Donald. You then feel as though your Blizzard magic has gotten stronger.

    Blizzard has been upgraded to Blizzara!

    After warming yourself up, you turn to Aladdin and Donald. "We can't celebrate our victory now," you tell them. "We need to get to the Cave of Wonders, pronto. That's where Jafar's taken Jasmine to." All of you climb on Carpet.

    "What did you two think?" you ask the two voices.

    Great as always. I liked how you used the magic carpet to attack the one in the air, and the way you used Gravity.

    You should have died. In fact, do so at the Cave of Wonders. ​

    That was more cruel than usual. You stay vigilant, though. You have Donald go and watch Alice, while Goofy accompanies you to the cave. First though, you check on Iago. Right as you go near where Aladdin says Iago is, you hear the sound of bickering, and what sounds like a cage or something being built. You... guess it's covered.

    You all stay on Carpet until it reaches the area of the desert that the Cave of Wonders is located at. It lands you in front of a large tiger head made of hardened sand, with glowing eyes. It observes you, and you can feel a wise presence examining your heart. It then growls. "Who disturbs my slumber?" the tiger head demands in a deep voice. It's unsettling, to be honest.

    Aladdin gestures at you, as if he's telling you to introduce. "Why me?" you ask him, your eyes wide.

    "It already knows me," Aladdin answers. "And isn't very happy with me due to a certain greedy monkey. It kinda has to be you."

    "Oh." Well, shit. You step forward towards the tiger head, and can practically feel the guardian's breath on you. It makes a breeze, and you're happy you don't have Sora's hair anymore. "My name is Haru," you tell it.

    The tiger head looks directly at you. It raises its eyebrow, and you look it straight in the eyes. It can tell you're a Replica.

    "You who bear the Key... you grow one step closer to bringing balance to the world. Seal away the corrupt and wicked."

    The tiger head then returns to its former position and leaves its mouth open, allowing you entry. You go down a long flight of stairs, until you reach a room filled with treasure of all kind.

    "Would you look at that," you say as you, Aladdin, and Goofy look around the treasure room while passing through on your way to the Lamp Chamber.

    Goofy smiles. "Gawrsh! Just a handful of this stuff would make us richer than... the sutton!"

    "Sultan," you correct him, using the exact same tone Jasmine did when she corrected Goofy.

    Aladdin laughs. "That's what I said when Abu and I first saw this room." You sigh in relief that Abu's on Iago duty and Donald's watching Alice. If they were here, they'd probably bring the whole cave down on you all.

    "So Abu's why the tiger head isn't happy with you?" you ask. Aladdin nods. "Don't touch anything unless it allows you to?" Another nod. "Figures."

    "It's one of the rules of this place," Aladdin responds. "Bad things happen if you do." Carpet wags one tassel in the air, like it's emphasizing what Aladdin just said.

    "We should hurry up," you say, "Jafar may have already found the Keyhole."

    "Right," Aladdin agrees, nodding.

    "You who bear the Key..." you hear, and only you, it seems. "Take the treasure by where the owner of the infidel discovered the carpet..."

    This world's full of idiots. Including you and Ventus.​

    Was that the tiger head? "Hey, Aladdin?" you ask.

    "Yeah?"

    "Where'd you find Carpet?"

    Aladdin looks around... "Over there," he says to you, pointing near a golden shield. You walk over there, where you see part of Ansem's report and a page ripped out of Pooh's book. There's also a keychain that resembles Genie's lamp. Some Dalmatians, too.

    Quickly taking those with no tremors happening, you wonder why they're all grouped here. Did the tiger head know you were coming? Who was it? "Consider it thanks for telling me about that Nobodies can grow hearts."

    You run over to Aladdin, Goofy, and Carpet, who are standing (floating in Carpet's case) in front of a large pair of stone doors. You then realize what's beyond this room, and turn to Aladdin and Goofy.

    "Through these doors are the Lamp Chamber," you tell the two of them. "I take it you're ready?" They nod, and Carpet stays by Aladdin's side.

    • [X] Enter the Lamp Chamber. It's time to confront Jafar!
    -[x] In case Jafar belittles you for being a Replica, write-in a speech.
    --[x] "Okay"
    ---[X] Do it like Saitama. Including attacking right after that
    ----[X] Lead with Silence so that he can't summon Kurt
    -----[X] If he already summoned Kurt have Aladdin summon Genie if he has 2 wishes left

    You push open the double doors and run into the Lamp Chamber with Aladdin and Goofy. In front of where the Keyhole is are Jafar and Maleficent. They're talking, until you all reach the center of the room. Maleficent vanishes into a dark corridor, and you confront Jafar.

    "Jafar! Let Jasmine go!" Aladdin yells.

    "Not a chance," Jafar says. "You see, she's a Princess of Heart - one of seven needed to open the door." Aladdin pauses at that. Your expression darkens at the mention of the door. "But you won't live to see what lies beyond it. I will not use my final wish upon you all, so I will destroy you myself."

    "Besides, I can't kill anybody," Genie points out, earning him a death glare from Jafar, who turns to you.

    "Since your existence is disgusting, Replica, I shall kill you first."

    "Kay," you reply, a deadpan expression on your face before you try casting Silence on Jafar, but you've never tried Silence before. So it only works for a few seconds.

    "Okay?! That's it?!"

    "One, that's kinda racist... species-ist? Whatever. Two, I'm used to the fact that I'm a Replica now," you explain to Jafar. "I'm just going against my creators' orders. I've chosen a different role, and part of it involves defeating you."

    Jafar scowls, before raising his snake staff. "Then you are a puppet that's useless to its creators. And a puppet with no use is mere garbage. Now, without the aid of Zisa... I will explain my role." The sorcerer then floats into the air.

    • [X] Avoid standing directly in the middle of the room when he casts his spells. Dodge any AoE attacks and get in close when possible.
    -[X] Break through his shield! Once it's down team up with Aladdin and speed blitz with Trick Fantasy!
    -[X] If forced back, hit em with chained magic atttacks.
    --[X] Use Knocksmash with Goofy when at a distance. Charge with elemental skills if possible.
    [X] Mock him constantly. Any jeers can throw him off his game and keep him making mistakes.
    [X] Try to find and steal Genie's lamp away from him if you or Aladdin have the chance. Make it discreet, so he doesn't notice until it's too late.

    "Still allying with fairies, Jafar?" you tease right as the Lamp Chamber erupts into chaos. The sorcerer scowls before shooting a fiery laser from his staff at you. "So much for the most powerful sorcerer in the world." You Dodge Roll past the laser. However, you try and stay away from the center of the room. Though unlike now, Genie assisted Jafar during his battle with Sora.

    You go onto one of the platforms, right as Jafar summons a blizzard. You get in a few strikes on the vizier, but he teleports to another platform.

    Genie's in the corner, dressed as a cheerleader with three copies of himself. "Rick 'em, rack 'em, rock 'em rake! Stick that sword into that snake!" they all cheer. Complete with pom-poms.

    "Stay out of this!" Jafar yells angrily, pointing his snake staff towards between Genie's eyes. He then calls up a barrier.

    "Jafar, Jafar, he's our man, if he can't do it, GREAT!"

    Genie's distraction is just what you need, as you Sonic Blade at the vizier and break the barrier.

    Running towards Aladdin, the two of you kick off Trick Fantasy. You and Aladdin speed towards Jafar, attacking him together with a flurry of slashes that leads to him having to teleport across the room. "Wow, Señor Psychopath," you say to Jafar. "You really suck at fighting!"

    A fiery beam goes right at you, and you parry it, sending Jafar to the ground. The vizier soon sees Aladdin. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO KILL YOU, BOY?!" he yells as another blizzard whips up.

    As Jafar's channeling the spell, you do a Knocksmash alongside Goofy, hitting him with the Keyblade and shield at the same time. Soon, you launch Goofy with Cosmo Boost, sending him at Jafar. Every time he teleports, Goofy rockets towards him.

    Jafar pants, and calls his barrier up again. This time, he's doing rapid teleportation. No sign of where he's keeping Genie's lamp, though...

    • [X] Keep mocking him. Have Aladdin get in on it too.
    [X]Keep avoiding his magical attacks and wait until he's done teleporting to attack again. Keep up the attack!
    -[X] Have Aladdin distract him while Goofy is guarding you so you can hit him with a Meteor Shower.

    You blow a raspberry at Jafar, who shoots a flame laser at you in rage. "C'mon, hit us, you cowardly snake!" Aladdin teases,

    "You want snakes?" he asks, summoning a jet of fire shaped like a snake. You cast Blizzara, before hitting the vizier with a Chain Rave after he briefly stops teleporting in an attempt to cast something.

    "Goofy!" you shout. "Guard me!" At that, Goofy runs over to you and parries a laser with his shield. Aladdin taunts Jafar again, distracting him.

    You then focus as you lock onto Jafar, and unleash a Meteor Shower. The Shotlock bombards the vizier with lasers, sending him to the center of the Lamp Chamber. He then pulls out the lamp, looking around in defeat.

    "Genie! My final wish!" Jafar yells, holding up the lamp. "I wish to be an all-powerful genie!"

    Hey Haru, you can go die now!​

    Genie covers his eyes as he zaps Jafar with his magic, filling the room with smoke and the vizier's laughter. An orange portal appears in the center of the room, no doubt leading to where Genie!Jafar is now. Carpet flies in and picks up Jasmine, before flying her off, no doubt back home to Agrabah.

    All of you enter the portal, and you appear in a room filled with magma and shifting platforms. Genie!Jafar emerges from the lava, and applauds at you. "So you are more than just a puppet," he says with genuine surprise. "Unexpected, but at the same time, impressive."

    "Says the guy who had to become a genie to really fight us," you comment, rolling your eyes as you see Iago appear in a puff of smoke to carry around Jafar's lamp.

    • [X] Have Aladdin and Goofy distract Jafar. Focus on Iago while dodging stray attacks and the changing terrain.
    -[X] You told Iago what would happen if he decided to do something stupid. And you're not a liar after all...
    --[X] Chain physical and magic attacks on Iago. Once he drops grab him and the lamp and seal Jafar in his new prison.

    "Aladdin, Goofy! Distract Jafar!" you tell the two of them. Both of them nod, before running towards said genie. "Hey, Iago! Remember that I said something would happen if you tried something idiotic?! Well, I'm a man of my word!" Iago looks scared, and flies away from you.

    You pursue Iago, dodging any of Jafar's stray attacks and the changing terrain of the battlefield. You jump into the air and attack Iago with a Chain Rave, before following with Strike Raid.

    Iago squawks in terror, and you go for Blizzara, shooting him down. The parrot quickly recovers though, so you unleash Meteor Shower, which hits Iago again. The parrot seems to have caught onto your strategy, as he flies higher.

    You sigh, before casting Thunder on Iago, zapping the bird. Afterwards, you jump to the highest shifting platform.

    Finally, you jump in the air and swing the Keyblade down, like with Guard Armor. Iago falls to the ground and slams against the stone, the lamp rolling away from him. You run towards the lamp, and grab it in your hands.

    "VANISH, MAGGOTS!"

    "Alright, Jafar!" you shout, looking at the red genie, who turns to you. "Time to enjoy your stay in the lamp!"

    Aladdin gives Jafar a shit-eating grin. "You wanna be a genie? You got it! And everything that goes with it!"

    Jafar's eyes go wide. "What? How...?"

    "I have your lamp, so I call the shots," you explain.

    Golden shackles then appear around Jafar's wrists. "NO!" he yells. His tail then turns into a twister that becomes attached to the lamp, pulling him in. Iago wakes up.

    "I'm getting outta here!" he squawks, trying to fly to the portal, but Jafar grabs him. Iago tries struggling out, but fails. "C'mon, you're the genie!"

    "GYAAAAAH!"

    The two of them are unceremoniously sucked into the lamp. "Phenomenal cosmic powers, and itty-bitty living space," you tell the lamp.

    Right after, you run through the portal. Time to lock Agrabah's Keyhole. Immediately as you enter the Lamp Chamber, you hear someone.

    "I never expected you to grow a heart. That's anomalous around Nobodies, including Replicas. Hm, you may actually be able to exceed Sora's potential, perhaps even wake him..." That voice. You turn around...

    DiZ.

    • [x] "Hey Ansem, do you have any idea where Sora's real body is? Kinda need him to take down Xehanort"

    "Hey Ansem, do you have any idea where Sora's real body is?" you ask. "I kinda need him to take down Xehanort."

    "I do not go by that name anymore," Ansem DiZ answers rather calmly, "just like you no longer go by 'Sora' after you learned the truth." You flinch. "And yes, I know the location of Sora."

    "Wait, you do?!" you shout in shock. "Where is he?!" DiZ looks down.

    "I cannot tell you in a world with the Organization's presence. Even as we speak, #8 is still in this world, sent to hunt down a mechanical Heartless with six arms."

    "SHIT!" you yell, absolutely terrified. "They sent him to hunt down Kurt Zisa?!?" DiZ doesn't seem fazed by your swearing.

    Oh no...

    Heh. He deserves it for being a Nobody. Though I wished to be the one to kill him.​

    "You do realize if Axel dies, it'll only be temporary until Lea returns?" you tell Vanitas, who proceeds to swear up a storm all directed at Nobodies. You make a note to call him out on his shit later.

    Axel's Lea?​

    You nod, before turning back to DiZ, who seems to have been waiting patiently.

    "It is a wild goose chase. In a way, this is banishment and eventually execution when Zisa returns to this world," DiZ explains. "But he is a Nobody. Nothing lost."

    You resist the urge to yell at him for his racism towards Nobodies, but instead, you grit your teeth in anger. "Tell me where Sora is. NOW."

    DiZ laughs. "I already have somebody looking for Sora, Replica." He says that word as if it's poison. "Riku has been a double agent beneath that witch."

    "Well... thanks," you respond. "I was actually the one who gave him the idea. Wait, don't you oppose Xehanort?"

    DiZ nods, but his expression seems a bit colder. "Don't you have something you need to be doing?" As he says that, he gestures towards the Keyhole.

    [] Lock Agrabah's Keyhole.
    [] Keep talking to DiZ
    --[] The Nortbomb.
    [] Wait for Aladdin and Goofy
    [] Write-in

    There you have it. Riku's allied with DiZ. And since he isn't part of the Organization and racism towards Nobodies, Nortbombing him will have a less of an effect than say... Saïx, which is pretty much as risky as the witchbomb, especially if it's in the moonlight.

    • [x] Lock Agrabah's Keyhole.
    [x] Keep talking to DiZ
    -[x] Thank him for the info. Though he really shouldn't be so prejudiced against Nobodies in general. They can exist and have hearts too. They just need time.
    --[X] After all, you were in a way a Nobody that had the help of about 2 other hearts before you grew your own. But since you grew your own, why can't anyone else?
    ---[X] Except Nobodies like Xehanort. He has nothing to grow back. Well, maybe a lump of coal.
    -[x] Ask him where Kurt Zisa is so that you could assist Axel.

    Knowing that DiZ is right, you go to the other side of the Lamp Chamber and jump onto the platform in front of a flight of stairs. You climb up the stairs, and get out the Keyblade.

    A beam shoots out of it, going into the Keyhole on the wall in front of you, and you hear a clicking noise. Agrabah's heart is safe.

    You then turn back to DiZ. "Thank you for the information," you tell him. "Though you really shouldn't be so prejudiced against Nobodies in general."

    "I beg your pardon?" DiZ asks, his face unchanging.

    "They can exist and have hearts, too," you explain. "They just need time. After all, I was in a way a Nobody that has the help of about two other hearts. Since I grew my own, why can't anyone else?" DiZ is still silent. "Except Nobodies like Xehanort. He has nothing to grow back. Well, maybe a lump of coal."

    DiZ gives you a reaction that you partially didn't expect - he laughs. "Why do you think I consider you anomalous?" He still seems firmly rooted that Nobodies don't have hearts, but he did seem to agree when you mentioned Xehanort. "I share your opinion of Xehanort, after his betrayal. His studies of the heart were what created the Emblem Heartless, and his desire to research Kingdom Hearts went against everything I had taught him. That place is not to be defiled!"

    You agree with him there. Xehanort has caused so much destruction. And speaking of Emblem Heartless. "DiZ, do you know the location of Kurt Zisa?" you ask him. You want to help Axel out...

    DiZ sighs, either at Zisa's departure or his prejudice against Nobodies. "Kurt Zisa departed this world for the Realm of Darkness after you defeated that sorcerer, and it is unlikely to return now that you have sealed the Keyhole. Now then..." He opens a dark corridor and walks towards it. "I bid you farewell."

    And with that, you're all alone in the Lamp Chamber again. Aladdin and Goofy finally emerge from the portal, and you hear noises coming from Jafar's lamp.

    "Get your blasted beak out of my face!"

    "Oh, shut up, you moron!"

    Genie joins you all at once, and plucks Jafar's lamp out of Aladdin's hands. He shakes the lamp once, listening to the two bickering. He then grasps the lamp and begins winding up like a pitcher.

    "This friggin' lamp should be..." Genie starts, before pulling out a small shovel and digging. "...buried!"

    He then places the lamp in the hole and covers it up with dirt.
