The Game

Smoke is what drew Lila attention to her Blue friend as he added liquids which drew up more smoke "Aha Yes! Victory shall be mine! "Genie grinned.

Lila was passing Genie different beakers fill with multiple liquids that he poured into a mould " Genie .. wouldn't it be easier to just make one appear? " Lila asked as golden smoke appeared from the mould, Genie glazed at his friend " No this shall be perfect no Magic involved! " Genie exclaimed.

" It's always the same we play a game Carpet wins well not this Time! " Genie said " Uh oh " He turned to Lila " Do you have a bobby pin? Paperclip? " Genie asked but Lila shook she head " Never mind I'll improvise " he turned back to his work.

Lila walked over to watch him " Err Genie why I use my powers to help I mean? " Lila asked, Genie looked behind him to look at Lila " I don't want to use Magic " He replied, Lila crossed her arms " I don't use Magic I use energy sources " Lila explained " no Magic involved ".

Genie pushed Lila in front of the mould " Ok you can help just put light energy into it " Genie said as he held on to her shoulders, Lila looked at the mould and opened her hands as light floated energy flowing through her hands and onto the mould.

" Hmm.. Yes .. yes .. No rats it must be flawless! " Genie measured the mould and hammered it again and again " I seek perfection down to the eensyweensiest particle! .. ! I DONE IT! It's time to play " Genie held up the creation " .. It's a croquets mallet.. " Lila said " Yes and a mallet which I will finally beat Carpet with! " Genie said as he left the room and faced Carpet with Aladdin and the others giving Genie strange looks.

" This mallet has only had energy sorted into it and hasn't made any phenomenal comic powers or junk like that, after you " Genie said and watch Carpet go towards the playing area.

Carpet takes out his own mallet and strikes the ball which goes through all of the hoops and hits the peg which Genie snaps his own mallet in half " No! Not again " Lila walked over to Genie with Aladdin following behind.

" Genie you taking this kind of hard " Aladdin said patting his friends shoulder " Its just a game Genie " Lila said.

" Right sure just a game how about a rematch? We'll play another game a man's game badminton got the Birdie! " Genie creates a badminton racket and grabs Iago who he throws in the air and tries to hit but Iago flies away and lands on Lila shoulder.

" Look Genie.. " Aladdin began to say before Jasmine whispers into his ear " It means so much to him " Aladdin looked at his friend, who was now dressed in a baseball uniform " Uh Genie good luck ".

" Thanks now how about a little Agrabah favourite Pastime? " Genie asked Carpet as a baseball field appeared with Carpet as the pitcher and Genie as the batter. Carpet Throws the ball which is a strike " Strike one! " Iago shouts, Carpet throws the second ball which is another strike " Strike two! " Iago shouts again which Genie swings around the third time making him spin himself around and crashes into the pitcher's mound. " Strike three! Yer out! ".

Genie sat up and shouted at the sky " Oh No! Why do I always lose? I'D DO ANYTHING IF I COULD JUST WIN! " Lila walked over to Genie " Genie It's just a game " Lila tried to say but he didn't listen and walked away.

A little while later

Lila sat beside Genie " Oh I don't want to win all the time One would be nice " Genie said sadly " When you play a game you just have to try.. try and gonna get up and try " Lila said back " Ah a player " A voice whispered " Who said that? " Genie asked.

A small man appeared floating next to Genie, he has a purple bread and is wearing an red and purple robes. " Do you really want to win? " The small man asked, Lila hid besides Genie " I don't trust him " Lila said quietly " Let him speak first Lila " Genie said " So who's asking? " Genie asked the small man.

" I am the wizard Ding! I can help I did hear you say you'd do anything to win, didn't I? " Ding asked, Genie face lit up " Well sure well within reason " Genie replied " Anything is rather all encompassing but if you're not up to it.. " Genie appeared in front of the wizard " I'm an all-encompassing kind of guy so yes I say anything! ".

Lila tugged at Genie arm " Genie please think this through? " Lila pleaded " I made up my mind Lila " Genie told her " Excellent! Oopo! " Ding called as a Women of the same size appeared floated next to him with her matching robes and the same purple hair " Yes ding? " Oopo asked " My dear sister the game is on! " Ding said.

Genie whistles and Carpet flies up to him " Carpet My dear opponent the game is on! " Genie said which Carpet gets confused by his friend " Ooh a strong weave Player! Are you fast? Are you clever? " Oopo asks Carpet who nods back in reply.

" He's competent " Genie said " Let's play the game! " Ding announces " Which game? " Genie asks " All of them of course " Ding replies, Lila looks up at the Balcony where Aladdin and the others are watching " Lila what's going on? " Aladdin calls to her " Aladdin these Wizards- " " Oh look look more players! " Oopo said.

Lila and Genie flew up to everyone with Ding and Oopo following behind " Genie I still don't trust them .. " Lila said " Oh there not that bad " Genie said with a grin, Lila looks down at this point " Genie who are these two? " Aladdin said patting Lila shoulder " This is Ding his a wizard he's gonna help me defeat that infernal rug! .. uh in a sportsman like completion " Genie replies.

" My money on the carpet " Iago says landing on Lila shoulder, Ding appears next to Iago and Abu " Greeting players! OH outstanding reflexes " Ding says holding Abu who waves him off and climbs on Aladdin shoulder " Questionable potential here " Oopo says while poking at Iago beak " Hey watch the beak lady! " Iago says waving her off " Spunky I'll take the bird " she says as Ding pats Abu " I call the nimble furry fellow! " Ding replies to his sister.

Oopo appears besides Aladdin and Jasmine " Wonderful players! " Oopo announces, Jasmine gave her a strange look back " Players? " Jasmine asks " The game is so much more interesting with teams! " Ding says, Oopo started to feel Aladdin arms " Well firm muscle tone " Aladdin pulls his arm away from Oopo " Genie and carpet are the game guys! " Jasmine rests her arm around Aladdin's " Yes I'm afraid we'll have to pass " Jasmine tells them making Lila happy.

A television appears in front of Aladdin and Jasmine, Genie appears on the screen as a sports announcer " In the competitive arena this Genie knows too well the agony of defend, what can you do to help break this multimillennial losing streak just play along please please please! " Genie appears in front of Aladdin pleading.

" Need I remind you of the time you forgot my sweet sixteen thousandth birthday?" Genie asked as he crossed his arms with Aladdin doing the same " Good try but I wasn't born yet " Aladdin replied " Oh it must have been a former insensitive friend The selfish one you know the type " Genie said with anger in his tone as he looked at his friend.

Lila wondered over to Aladdin and Genie " Please stop this .. I don't trust them " .. Lila said, Jasmine patted Lila shoulder " I suppose one friendly game wouldn't hurt " Jasmine said trying to make everyone happy " Great now which team are you on? " Ding asks Lila " Ah yes there's still one " Oopo said.

Lila grabs onto her hourglass necklace she made she left America " Which team do you wish to be on " Ding asks, Lila looks up at genie then Aladdin and back up at the two wizards "… Jades.." A portal appeared behind her.

Lila held outs her hand and another hand takes it " You owe me for this " A voice speaks out " Who's that? " Ding asks.

Jade jumps out of the portal and shoots a red coat as the Portal closes " I heard the whole thing through Lila, This is a game .. I'll only join if I can be in the same team as Lila! Got it! " Jade announces.

The two wizards look at each other " I'll have the animals " Oopo tells his brother who replies " You can be on my team " Ding says shaking Jades hand.

" Thanks guys! I've made every effort to make your guilt trip a pleasant one " Genie says with a grin " May the best team win ( As long as I'm on it ) " Genie said as he shakes Aladdin hand in far play.

Oopo makes Aladdin, Abu, Iago and Carpet all vanish " Aladdin! " Jasmine shouts in horror " Ding what's happening? " Genie asks.

" The game. Let's play " Ding says as they travel to a snow covered mountains with Ding and Oopo appearing besides them. Ding made a tower appear just next to the mountain. " Ah fuck its cold.. " Jade said as she tried to light her cigarette.

Aladdin whispered to Genie " Genie.. what do you know about these two? " he asked " They're wizards who loves games I'm a genie who loves games seems like a good fit " Genie replied but got transported back to his team " Ahh ahh the rules absolutely forbid opposing teams for fraternizing! " Oopo said.

Iago and Abu were shivering in the snow " I don't suppose your rules forbid opposing teams from freezing " Iago said shivering " So its jacket weather " Genie said as he zapped Abu, Iago and Jasmine warm clothing.

" Hey what about us? " Jade said tapping her foot Genie zapped them two giving Lila a fluffy blue coat and Jade a long brown coat " Thank you " Jade replied.

Genie then tried to zap Aladdin but his magic bounced off " You cant help the carpet team " Ding said but Oopo zapped Aladdin giving him warm clothing " But I can " Oopo said.

" So what's the game? " Genie asked, Ding and Oopo looked at each other and zapped at Jasmine and Lila making them appear in the tower " Aladdin! " Jasmine shouted, Lila looked down at Jade " Lila.. What are you two doing?! " Jade questioned " It's all part of the game whichever team gets the girls saved first wins " Ding exclaimed.

Jade looked at the tower " There's a catch isn't there..? " Jade asked " Ohhh she's a quick thinker " Oopo said as she snapped her fingers making an ice dragon appear around the tower breathing ice breath from his mouth " You must defeat the Dragon as well as saving the girls, Isn't this going to be so much fun? " Ding said.

Aladdin looked up at the great dragon which tried to scratch at him " Fun?! This is insane " Aladdin said " Oh c'mon Al it won't be that bad " Genie said as he made a rope appear and tried to catch the dragon but it blasted him away " Or maybe not ".

Jade rolled her eyes and grabbed Genie bread " You save the girls I'll take care of the dragon deal? Good now go " Jade demanded " Hey this is my team! " Genie exclaimed knife at him " Who is the one here who can kill an animal me now go! " Jade said as she watched Genie go towards the girls.

" Carpet go save the girls I'll try to defeat the dragon " Aladdin said gulping, Jade ran over to the dragon and dodged its attacks as she climbed the tower and made it to Lila and Jasmine " Hey Girls I'm going hunting " Jade said with a smirk as she jumped backwards and landed on the dragons head " She's going to be killed! " Jasmine said worried but Lila just looked at her and sighed " Jade cant die .. " Lila said simply in a normal tone.

" Hey Aladdin I got this " Jade said as she pulled out her Gun and pointed it at the Dragons eye and blasted it causing it to fall on the ground which then Jade pulled out an a smoke flame ball and threw it into the dragon causing an explosion from the inside killing it " I killed the dragon.. ooh look a tooth I could sell this " Jade said with a grin.

Jade watched as the Dragons body landed on Genie causing him to fall with the Dragon " Sorry Genie " Jade said as she watched Carpet save the girls and landed them to safety " Aladdin " Jasmine said as she hugged him. Lila pulled Genie out from the dragon " That hurt .. uh.. thanks Lila " Genie said blushing and rubbing the back of his neck.

Aladdin turned his head to the two wizards "We could have been killed! " he exclaimed as the two wizards laughed " Well Jade did kill the dragon and your carpet saved the girls so it's fine but I guess we call it a draw! " Oopo said " We both take a point " Ding said gleefully.

" I don't believe this! " Aladdin said " Maybe the kid didn't spell it out we don't like games " Iago said landing on Aladdin shoulder and Jasmine hugged onto Aladdin arm " We want to go back to Agrabah!" Jasmine demanded " We quit game over! " Aladdin shouted at the wizards but there faces turned sour.

" We don't tolerate quitters and the game isn't over " Ding exclaimed as he zapped them into an urban modern area with buildings crashing down and the sky is grey with planes flying past.

" Now let's play " Oopo said as the two wizards " Ah it would be a shame to see a bustling metropolis like Agrabah reduced to a cinder " Ding said " A dreadful shame " Oopo said with Ding, " Do you think they would really do it? " Jasmine asked " I think we're still in the game " Aladdin replied.

" Look why don't you use you powers to rule the world or something? " Jade suggested " Been there done that " Oopo said " But it became such a humdrum routine absolute power? Invincible to no thrills Century after century of competitive play" Ding said " Sadly the players never seemed to last long enough to enjoy it " Oopo said.

" Well thanks to a big stupid idiot " Jade said towards Genie " Sounds like loser talk to me " Genie replied making Jade made " Look I may not be able to die but I'm not letting you put your friends in fucking danger for a stupid game! It doesn't matter If you win or lose! " Jade examined.

" It's how you play the game " Oopo said at Jade as she snapped her fingers making a military tank appear " Now destroy the tank " she said smiling as the tank pointed its guns as them " Everyone run! " Aladdin shouted. As the tank aimed it gun at everyone it shot off and just missed Lila who flew up into the sky.

Some of her wing feathers were burned by the blast " Lila! " Genie shouted he flew up to her and flew her into a building where he healed her wing " I will keep that promise that I made to your father " Genie exclaimed.

Another blast was shot near Aladdin and Jasmine " This is stupid we're going to be killed! " Aladdin shouted at the two wizards who ignored them and made the tank go towards them, Jade ran towards Aladdin and Jasmine and jumped in there way as another blast just missed them but it caught Jade's leg " Jade your leg! " Jasmine exclaimed as blood started to pour from her leg " Fuck! This! " Jade said as she leaned herself up and hopped over to the tank.

" GENIE! GIVE ME A CANNON OR SOMETHING?! " Jade shouted, Genie looked up at Jade and gasped as he saw her blood still pouring out of her leg, he zapped a anti – tank cannon gun which she pointed at the tank " Bitches love cannons! " Jade shot a large blast at the tank which exploited making Jade being blasted backwards into a building.

" Jade! " Lila shouted as she flew over to Jade and picked her up but parts of the building were collapsing around them " Hold on Lila! " Genie said as he flew and picked both of the girls up and saved them from the falling buildings and placing them next to Aladdin and Jasmine.

" Oh that's gonna hurt " Iago said towards Jade who was spitting out blood " Agh fuck.. I need blood .." Jade said as she tried to stand up but Lila forced her to stay down " No you need to stay down " Lila exclaimed.

" Ooh you need blood well time for the next game! " Oopo said clapping her hands " Yes this one you like! " Ding said as both of them snapped there figures but nothing happened " Looks like your losing your touch " Iago smirked at the two wizards.

The two wizards looked at each other " Oh there just not here yet there slow well the crowds are .. " Ding trailed off as the two of them looked behind them to see a crowd walking slowly but picking up there pace as they walked towards the gang " Who? What are they? " Jasmine questioned " The undead of course " Ding and Oopo said smirking at the Gang.

Jade quickly got up well tried to " Get to higher ground .. Now! " she demanded, Carpet flew Aladdin and Iago up onto a building while Genie and Lila flew Jasmine and Jade up another building.

" Whatever happens I want you guys to know .. I BLAME YOU! " Iago shouted at making the zombies walk more towards them " Shut up Iago your making it worse! " Jade shouted, she crawled her way up to the ledge of the building " Jade get back here! " Genie pleaded.

" Sorry But they got blood which I need " Jade said as she jumped down, she pulled out a gun with had blood flowing through the top half of the jar connected to the gun. Jade shot a zombie in the head making the blood from the zombie flow back into Jade giving her leg a way to regain its self.

Carpet flew down with Aladdin and pushed away some zombies away from Jade who their Aladdin one of her guns " Shoot them there dead anyway! " Jade shouted as she shot one threw the eye.

" Ah Oopo your team is in about the same shape as mine sad " Ding said towards Oopo. Jade shot and kicked back a zombie away from Aladdin " Like you could do any better! " Genie said towards the wizards who gasped at his statement " I agree I haven't seen you two helping at all! " Jade said as her leg grew back so she could kick in a zombies chest in.

" Well of course we could " Ding said " If we wanted to " Oopo added in.

" Prove it! " Lila said as she grew her wings out " What an interesting idea " Oopo said " It just never been done! " Ding added in. " Oh I get it! You have never actually played a game yourselves because you can't! " Genie exclaimed which made the two wizards angry " Ha! Rubbish! " Oopo said " We can so! " Ding added in.

" Cant! " Jade shouted " Can! " the two wizards said " Yeah right " Genie said as he crossed his arms. Jade pushed a few zombies off Aladdin " Lets us team up against you " Jade said as Carpet flew Jade and Aladdin over to Genie " But lets get one thing straight no more wizards participations on the games itself " Genie exclaimed.

" If you want to be spectators that's fine but we play the game " Lila said " But we're all powerful wizards! " Oopo said " We make the rules! And the new rules is nobody plays but us! " Ding says " Well if you insist " Aladdin says.

Genie snapped his fingers and a television appeared in front of the two wizards " Take this ting and use it well " Genie handed two game controlled to the wizards " Its called a video game it is designed so no one over the age of thirteen will ever finish " Genie exclaimed as the two wizards grabbed the controllers and started to play.

" But first lets see who can magically transport us back to Agrabah the fastest! On your mark get set go! " The wizards zapped the gang back into Agrabah " Hey it worked! " Genie said with a happy tone in his voice " Yeah Now I can leave .. " Jade said as she held onto her hourglass necklace and transported back into her portal but turned back to look at Genie " If I find out you hurt Lila again I will hunt you.. I will find you and I will kill you " Jade said as she jumped back into her portal.

" I don't think I'll never play another game again " Jasmine said sighing " Im with you guys you don't need to win to be a winner " Genie said " You finally listen to us " Lila muttered.

Everyone left Genie and Carpet except for Lila who watched the two friends play against each other " Oh guys you really gonna start this again.. "Lila sighed at the two.
