The Lost Fruits

-------------------------------------------

Agrabah - Royal Palace - Vizier's Tower

-------------------------------------------

Inside his chamber, Jafar has been locking himself for days in his chambers. The Red Parrot was sitting on the window taking a sunbath. While Jafar was gluing his face to a large dusty old book. Jafar flipped from page to page, his eyes scanning like a hawk. With his staff in his hand, Jafar hit the floor "Here it is..." he said, his fingers traced along the lines of the ancient language.

"There was supposed to be three lamps that contain three Genies..." Jafar smiled as he read the ancient text "The Genie of the lamp is the most powerful Jinn in existence, otherwise known as Marid. For their powerful magic that is capable of doing miracles and wonders, all of the other living being sought their powers for themselves, they have been hunted down and used as slaves in the lamp, most Marids when tr.a.p.ed in the lamp and grants their three wishes rule; they die. Only the Marid Kings stayed alive and granted more than anyone could, for their magic is too powerful. The living Marids are three and are identified by their colors; Blue, Red, and Yellow. Be aware of the gray areas of the wishes." Jafar chuckled and closed the book.

"I know that stealing all of these books from the Ancient Namrood Magic Academy was a good idea." Jafar walked to his bookshelves and pulled a black book from it halfway, the wall shook behind it and it started to rotate revealing another set of bookshelves.

Jafar took out the ancient book and placed it in its proper place and took another book "The Book of the three Marid Kings..." He walked back to his table and opened the book "It has details about the Three Kings and their last seen location. Though I know where two of them were but only the last one I don't..." Jafar opened the book and took a long time to read the texts carefully.

"Hmm...Yes, as expected, The Blue one was in the cave of wonders as expected, placed there by the last sorcerer-king to prevent the corrupted from getting their hands on it. Foolish old man. The Red one is in the Ancient Namrood Magic Academy...The Yellow one..." Jafar's eyes widened in surprise "...Its location has been lost for two thousand years, impossible!"

Jafar punched the table with his fist in anger scaring the red parrot in process "W-what??" He yelped.

"Idiots!! They think they can fool me, like hell I am going to believe that they don't know its location!!" Jafar roared in anger and slammed his fist on the table multiple times, but after a few moments, he calmed down "How useless! Now my choices are even more limited, one Lamp was stolen from under my nose taken by that Lightning beast, though, I don't want to meet him again. Yellow is lost, the only one left is Red which is under the possession of the Magic Academy...I can't just return to them after stealing from them, they will kill me. So the only option left is...The Rings." Jafar stood and took a deep breath, he walked to his window and looked at the Palace. His expression is that of someone in deep thoughts.

Jahilon Kingdom - Agrabah's Army - Capital City Jamr

------------------------------------------------------------

After a week of capturing RockMare's fort, Agrabah's army has finally decided to march to the capital city. They marched for a few days before they stood at a considerable distance from the city.

"Send an envoy, tell them to surrounded, no need for unnecessary bloodshed," Hassan ordered his men to send an envoy. The enemy is protected by their walls and to penetrate those walls, they need to sacrifice a few thousand men in the process. He could ask Ace to help but even they have pride or they shouldn't call themselves an army. This may come back and bite them in the back when other nations start insulting them for depending on one Magus.

The envoy ran with his horse to the castle. Ace was on the side with Genie on his shoulder. "They will kill him," Genie said.

Ace raised an eyebrow "Why?" he asked.

"When was the last time you saw a king give up his nation, they will kill the poor guy and will send his corpse back as a declaration of war." Genie shook his bird head in disappointment.

Following his words, the capital city glowed with white light and a dom-like light surrounded it like a shield.

"Oi! that's magic? they are using magic as a defense barrier!"

"Jahilon got magical defense artifact!"

"Tsk! we can't breakthrough like this!!"

The soldiers started grumbling between each other as anger started boiling inside them, they almost had the enemy in their grasp after traveling and fighting for months.

"Don't worry, I can break their barrier." Ace told Hassan. Though, he is still unsure about that, he never faced any magical artifact in this world yet, so he still needs to test himself. And seeing that Genie said nothing, then there is a high chance he can do that.

"Sorry for troubling you." Hassan bowed his head apologetically, they are depending on Ace too much, it is most shameful as an army.

A few moments later, the envoy came back...without his head. The horse ran back with the headless body of his rider with a letter attached to it. Hassan took the letter and read it [We will never surrender to filthy Agrahabans, try to breach our defense first.] so it says in short.

"MEN!!!" Hassan shouted making his voice travel as far as he could, all of his army could hear him "JAHILON HAS TRAMPLED OVER OUR LANDS AND KILLED OUR PEOPLE FOR A LONG TIME, WE ARE HERE AFTER SUCH A LONG TRIP, DON'T LET IT GO TO WASTE, DON'T SHOW THEM MERCY!" His army gave a war cry after his words.

"Archers split up, one squad stays behind and one marches with us. SHIELDS UP HIGH!!!" Hassan ordered. All men put their shields on their heads "RUN TO THE WALL!! ARCHERS COVE FOR US!!" And so Hassan with his infantrymen charged at the castle and passed through the Barrier

--------------------------------------

Castle Walls - Jahlon Royal Guards

--------------------------------------

Seeing their enemy is rushing at them, a soldier shouted "Sir!! they are coming!"

Commander of the Royal Guards stood tall and chuckled "Archers!!" He shouted. The archers on the wall stepped forward and aimed at the incoming army, they let loose their arrows raining on Agrabah's army. But with their shields on their heads, it made it difficult to kill them.

Jahilons weren't the only one with an arrow, Te archers of Agrabah started raining their arrows at the castle archers, but unfortunately, the Magic barrier stood in their way as the arrows would bounce off the barrier and fall to the ground.

Having reached under the castle walls with the minimum losses, Hassan smiled "This is the hard part...THROW THE HOOKS!!" he ordered, men took out black iron hooks tied to ropes, they throw them on the wall edge to get a foothold "CLAIM UP!!" Hassan shouted.

As soon as the men started claiming, archers that came with them started covering for them as shot up towards any man who tries to throw off the hooks. But again the barrier throws the arrows away.

"So, it repels only ariel attacks...This will be harder." Hassan thought.

Behind in the distance, Ace was looking at the battle unfolding "Aah ah! There they go dead. So many souls are going?" Genie transformed into his Genie form and spoke.

"Souls? you can see them?" Ace asked. Genie doesn't tell him much about his powers. So, this is new to him.

"Yeah, look at them, like rain, but in reverse." Genie shook his head.

"Wel, time to help them a bite." Ace cracked his neck and lightning started cracking around his body before he started levitating in the sky. Ace smiled and looked at the barrier in front of him

The sky started getting darker and Ace's black eyes shifted to blue [Dai Raiju...Lightning Pillars] Following his shout, 10 Lightning Pillars struck the Barrier at the same time shattering it in mere seconds. Agrabah's army was thrilled and archers took their bows and started taking down wall guards.

Soon, They got through the wall and killed the guards. Hassan stood on the wall and looked down to see the streets of the capital city, he could see some enemy's men on there hiding. "GATHER UP AND MARCH IN GROUPS, KILL ANYONE WHO COMES YOUR WAY, DON'T BE FOOLED, OUT TARGET IS THE ROYAL FAMILY!!" Hassan shouted.

"Off! boi, you took down that barrier as if it was made of glass!" Genie laughed as he floated near Ace "Oh! here comes trouble!" Genie said as he pointed in front of them. 6 figures in long coats are making their way to them in the sky.

No sooner, the six people reached them. One blond man stepped forward and smiled "Magus of Agrabah...surrender and join us, our king promises you everything you d.e.s.i.r.e."

"Who the hell are you?" Ace tilted his head and asked.

"Forgive my rudeness, I am Leonard Geoxan, Royal Magus Of Jahilon Kingdom. It is a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you." Leonard bowed slightly.

"And I suppose that if I don't agree with your proposition...you 6 will kill me?" Ace pointed at them and smiled.

"That is without a question." Leonard returned his smile and chuckled without fear.

"Nice...I like your guts. And I will enjoy burning it for you." Ace pushed his palm and his body started burning up.
