UNIVERSE BOWL IX: CHAPTER II

Desert Region. . .

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine ride Magic Carpet, Abu in tow.  The three are in good spirits, but still alert as they expect the Royal Highness to show its face any moment. The Disney characters, notwithstanding their predicament, break into song.

Aladdin: A whole new world

Princess Jasmine: A whole new world

Aladdin: That's where we'll be

Princess Jasmine: That's where we'll be

Aladdin: A thrilling chase

Princess Jasmine: A wondrous place

Both: For you and me

As the couple finishes their lyrics, the immense maw of Sandworm #1A explodes from the sands, opening its mouth to swallow the Slaves whole.  Magic Carpet reacts to the behemoth and skirts away, barely escaping instant death.

Aladdin:  That was close!!!

Princess Jasmine: Too close!  Where is that Genie when you need him?!?!

Aladdin whips out a lamp from his back pack and begins to furiously rub the piece.  Smoke erupts and Genie appears.

 
Aladdin:  About time you showed up!

Genie:  Hey, nobody called until just now!  What do you need, my master?

Aladdin:  Look below!

Genie sees Sandworm #1A re-enter into the desert’s ground, a wave of sand following the undulating form just below the surface.

Genie:  Ooooh, I’ve never been a Sandworm before!

POOF!

Two sandworms burst from the desert.  Sandworm #1A fights a blue Genie-Sandworm.  The two tear into each other and a monstrous battle ensues.  At the end, Sandworm #1A shudders and dies, not able to survive the wounds inflicted by Genie-Sandworm.

POOF!

Genie flies next to Magic Carpet, laughing at his success. Feeling somewhat safer than before, Magic Carpet lowers itself closer to the desert with Aladdin, Jasmine and Abu still aboard.  Suddenly, a blast of sand rips into Jasmine.  The princess falls.  Magic Carpet is unable to reach her before she plunges to her death, breaking her neck on the ground below.  The remaining members of the Slaves see streams of sand form into an individual; it is Sandman; he is the cause of her death.

Flint Marko looks down at a dead Jasmine.

Sandman:  Mission accomplished.

Aladdin:  Noooooo!

An enraged Abu defecates on his hands and begins to throw feces at Sandman, striking him several times.  In response to the poop, Sandman increases in size and as Magic Carpet attempts to avoid the villain, Marko manages to pluck Aladdin off the carrier.  He crushes Aladdin between his fingers and throws the thief and his wares next to his deceased love.

Genie reacts and forms, in essence, his own sand creation.  As he is about to tussle with Sandman, the Genie screams and POOF!

Sandman turns around and sees a crushed lamp in between the hands of Steel Doomsday; Genie is gone.  Sandman then focuses his attention on the monkey and carpet.  Marko creates a sandstorm, weighing the carpet down.  Steel Doomsday leaps to where Magic Carpet and Abu crash land.  Steel Doomsday rips Magic Carpet apart and steps on Abu’s head, instantly killing the primate.

Sandman and Steel Doomsday look at one another in triumph for the Royal Highness team.
