The Lost Fruits

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

Jahilon Kingdom - Capital - Royal Palace

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

The capital of Jahilon; Jamr. A very lively and beautiful city with huge water fountains all over it symbolizing that this kingdom is different and on another level than the sand filled kingdoms up there. But today, that joy and happiness that usually fills the city is gone, the streets were empty, merchants left and only a few were stuck in the city not allowed to leave.

At the Royal Palace. King Jahil was on his throne. He was a tall and wide-shouldered man with a muscular body and a handsome face to go with it and a blackboard. Today he was speaking with his retinue about a very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e subject so no maids, no servants, butlers or even palace women were allowed in the throne. The only people in now are The king, his advisers, his army generals the capital's kingsguard, and finally the country's only 10 Magus.

"My King..." A man in red armor of the army, he is the grand general of the army, Amar "...They are halfway through the kingdom..." he spoke. Following his words, the king's advisers started mumbling and whispering to each other making Jahil raise his hand to silence them.

"What about RockMare fort, any news about them?" King Jahil asked.

His general Amr nodded "By this time, they must have encountered the enemy's army...If they succeded to repel them, we will get the news...and if they didn't..."

"We won't get any news from them...Humph! That Sultan Hamed got himself a nice torch to dare point it at us! just you wait..." Jahil was very angry, the various reports he has been getting for the past weeks were unsettling, until now, Agrabah's army hasn't lost not even one man. "All because of one man...I spoke with our insider in Agrabah to try and pull him off but I doubt he could..."

"...Leonard..." Jahil called. A man from the Magus party stepped forward and knelt "You are my best Magus, this fireman, do you have any idea how to stop him?" Jahil asked.

Leonard was a blond man, clearly from foreign lineage, blue eyes and white face "...According to our knowledge, a fire Magus weakness is general Water-type attacks, aside from that, usually, Fire Magus have destructive abilities so they consume a lot of power. I have heard that he was able to burn our army in one attack...Do not fret my King, that attack is his ultimate move, it is impossible for him to keep spamming them..."

Jahil nodded "...Good to hear that. Continue."

"Currently we have among us 4 water Magus, we can keep them here in the capital as our defense against him. We also came up with a fire-resistance potion for our ground soldiers...However..." Leonard looked down making Jahil frown.

"However...?"

"...Once this potion is consumed, there is an 80% chance that the consumer will die of dehydration." Leonard continued with a heavy tone.

Jahil didn't even flinch at that "Doesn't matter...Go back and produce as much as you can. We will use them." He said. His words were cruel, his general clenched his fist. It was his men that will be sacrificed in the end. But even he know...there isn't much choice here.

Agrabah's Army - RockMare Fort

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

Near the fort, Agrabah's army was on standby, Ace was with Hassan on a high ground looking at the fort.

"There is only one way through...The front door." Hassan spoke. His face was twisting from the heat. As the sun rose up to the middle of the sky.

"Hm, it seems like it." Ace crouched down sighed "How long is this trip is going to take? its been a month since the last time I ate another other than water and bread and vegetables soup..."

Hassan shook his head. Only Ace can say this is a trip. If he was a normal soldier, he would realize what it means to be inside an enemy's territory "...After taking hold of this fort, we will make it our base and we will clear the roads for supplies that come from the squares that we left behind. After we march to the Royal Capital Jamr. It will take up to 3 days from here. Then, all that is left is to win the war."

"If we got hold of this fort, can we eat some meat? you know, it will be our base, right?" Ace looked at Hassan with an excited expression.

Hassan sighed and smiled "Yes..."

"Hell yeah...Call the archers." Ace spoke as he stood up and stretched his arms.

Hassan tilted his head "Why?"

"We will take out their wall guards and archers..." Ace pointed at the fort with a smile.

'He can see them from here?' Hassan was surprised, it was a pretty good distance from here until the fort "But, isn't it too far?"

"Just get the archers man!" Ace pushed Hassan away.

When Hassan left to get the archers, a blue smoke started surrounding Ace "Thought you will never come out..." Ace said with a smile.

Genie pinned in the air and crossed his hands with dignity and calm face, but "AH! damn!! it's so hot in here! uh uh," Genie said with frowned as he turned into a beard and landed on Ace's shoulder.

"It's just a little warm in here, what's the big deal?" Ace chuckled making genie poke him with his beak "Warm for you! It's 50 degrees in here. Just how long is this gonna be! its been ages since I saw something other than sand and rocks. Look, sand, sand, sand, oh! what's that I see there, oh yeah, SAND!!!"

Ace closed his ear from Genie's shout "Calm down, Blue. but you didn't tell me, what were you doing inside your lamp all this time? you rarely come out."

Genie jumped off Ace's shoulder and walked to his shadow to hide from the sun "What do you think? I have been looking for your two devils."

"Any luck...?"

"Yeah, though, I was only able to locate one of them. The other one is very inactive and it will be hard for me to pinpoint his location." Genie sighed.

"I will guess that the active one is the Flame devil...And what are you planning on doing for the other?" Ace asked as he started playing around as he would slowly move his shadow to expose Genie to the sun.

"I am expanding my knowledge about the Multiverse, I am looking for similar energies that can help me locate it. I may even find your world, that will help a lot." Genie answered before cursing the sun.

Before Ace could speak, Hassan returned with 50 archers to stand behind him. Genie jumped on Ace's shoulder.

"Alright, aim at the fort," Ace ordered.

The men were confused, Hassan nodded at them. They realized that Ace will do one of his tricks, but even them, they can't imagine what he will do from this distance with wooden arrows.

"Pull..." Hassan spoke "...Loos!" 50 arrows took off to the sky with high speed, but as expected, they weren't getting any far from them. Just as the arrows started to go down.

Ace covered his palm with Blue lightning "Dai Raiju...Raiya!" Following his shout, lightning balls shot from his palm before splitting in midair, each lightning covered an arrow and turned it into a lightning arrow.

1 second later, explosions started coming from the fort. The archers stood in awe, Hassan sighed at the display. He really wonders about what Ace's limits are?

"Another time." Ace said with a smile. The archers smiled and took aim again.

And so, RockMare was suffering from lightning bolts that it never know where they came from. It was mayhem in there. Soldiers were just running around trying to avoid whatever that is attacking them. But how can they avoid what takes a second to reach them?

All in all. Jahilon's kingdom was suffering from another worldly attack, one that never happened in the history of mankind. Despite their hard work to try and repel Agrabah's army, or more accurately, to repel Ace. It seems that it would be a far fetched dream.
