Never Had Friends Like Us(Open)

[Genie]

(OCC: March 14th, same exact time as Prepare for Trouble and A Pirate's Life for me. Intro for Capt. Nicholls, Genie, Pollo and any other new hero people needed to bring in. Let's meet Nicholls and Genie first lol)

Jasmine had to be here some place right? If she wasn't in agrabah, she probably was someplace else and his arrival here HAD to prove that somehow Jasmine was here too. Because nothing, other than some bizarre joke, could ever not explain Jasmine's disappearance like this did. Aladdin asked Genie to find her and darn it, he would find her. Genie cared for her just as much as aladdin did, not to date her of course but definitely enough to consider her family of some kind. Genie glided through the setting of the admittedly warm forest and flew here and there before going face to face with a man, a man with a fancy army world war 1 uniform and the two screamed at the other in panic. While the man raised his sword in defiance, Genie raised his hands "Whoa easy there upper-class, no need for swords!"

"Who are you? Where am I? Am I your prisoner?" The soilder demanded. The soilder, by the way, was named James Nicholls who served as Captain during World War 1, but unfortunately killed. Who understandably panicked at the sight of a blue creature. James, at this time, just discovered he was alive once more but was extremely nervous/afraid of where he was and what happened. He assumed that he was captured but from genie's answer, he was quickly proven wrong

"Genie, you're probably in some part of america from the stench of the city from here and no. I'm going to find a nice place to get some answers. Wanna come?" Genie invited, a hand given out as a token of trust.

"Well Genie, I suppose if I'm going to find answers, I might as well depend on yours. I am James Nicholls" He shook the blue hand and the two nodded a silent agreement to walk to a house. They eventually found one, one that looked just as similar as the rest but had some inviting, comforting aura around it. "This is very embarrassing. I'm not from america. I'm from England. I was supposed to be dead right?" He turned to genie and smiled softly in agreement before being shocked with genie's bullborn and he covered his ears.

"Well upper-class. We might as well knock" Genie was about to politely, and quietly knock when all of a sudden he got a bullhorn and replied loudly "HELLO! WE HAVE A EMERGENCY HERE! SOMEBODY OPEN THE DOOR!" 

 

[Nostalgia Chick]

Gene sighed in annoyance hearing a pounding at the door. He flew to the door peeking out the hole seeing a blue guy and another man. But what he was really excited to see was the blue guy. He could tell the guy was a genie and he grinned flinging the door open.

"I'm so glad to see another genie. I haven't seen one in centuries. Is this guy your master?" asked Gene.

XXXX

Grimhilde walked out next holding the lamp in her hands. She had seen Gene fly off and was thinking about making her final wish to bring Jasmine back. But Gene had told her to be careful as wishes were tricky. So she'd held off on that for now. She was surprised to see two men one blue and one normal looking. She heard Gene call the blue one a genie. He certainly did look magical.

"Hello. I'm Queen Grimhilde. I see you've met my genie. I'm a witch and a member of this army. Have you come to join our army?" asked Grimhilde.

XXXX

Rupert walked out next spying his mistress Queen Grimhilde. He was grateful to be free from the mirror although he was still her servant. But he could walk again and that was more than he ever thought would happen to him. He grinned seeing the two new strangers.

"Welcome. I'm Prince Rupert. I see you've met my mistress and my friend Gene. Please come inside." said Rupert.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick heard the commotion as she walked in spying the pair.

"No way! It's Genie! I'm sure Jasmine will... oh right. Never mind." said Nostalgia Chick.

She paused realizing she'd forgotten for a moment Jasmine was still a prisoner in Ask That Guy's Army. She wasn't sure how Genie would take to that knowledge. She paused realizing there was a third man here who now looked like Loki making four in total. Hal and Magnus had company here it seemed.

"Welcome to our army both of you. But there is something you should know soldier. There are three others here who look exactly like you. Hal and Magnus are good and are in this army so you don't have to worry about them. But Loki is evil in one of the villain armies. Others might mistake you for him and try to hurt you. So we will be keeping an eye on you and give you bodyguards. Thor's idea. He insists on Hal and Magnus having them so I think he will want you to have them as well." said Nostalgia Chick.

She paused as Rupert asked them to come inside.

"Yes. Please come inside." said Nostalgia Chick.

[Captain James Nicholls]

Genie was beaming as many seemed to recognize him, this was a sure-fire way to get some answers. Genie shook hands instantly with every single individual(Rupert, Gene, Chick and Grimhilde, Nicholls he ignored for the moment) "Pleasure, pleasure, hello, awesome, you're awesome, thanks, hello, thanks, hi, what-up?, I'm so glad that somebody knows me here. It's a new place, I was worried nobody would, thank goodness. Oh and yes, I'm here to sign up for whatever you need" He then turned to Gene who, proven by Grimhilde and Gene himself, that he was also a genie. And it seemed, not a free one. However grimhilde didn't seem very cruel to Gene at the moment so he instantly made sure to be nice to her just as much as the rest. But back to gene and his question, Genie pondered about it and confusedly asked "Wait, what?" He then turned to Nicholls, who shyly watched the scene continue, and realized what Gene meant. "OH! Oh no, no, no, no, no! This guy I just met, I've been freed already by another master. Aladdin. It's a long story, kiddo but...."

He then turned again as Chick mentioned Jasmine "So she IS here! I knew it!" He then snapped his fingers and a scorepoint for others went to zero and genie when to one point before it disappeared. He quickly glided over to Chick and responded incredibly fast "So you know jasmine? How is she? Does she have morning fever? Is she taking her meds?... Wait she doesn't have meds. Sorry, I mean is she eatin' ok? Is she homesick because I can fix that I'm sure. Is she hurt? Is she not hurt? Look lady, I've been lookin' for her for quite some time and it'd be amazing for some information" When told by Rupert and Chick to come inside, Genie glided into the house. He suddenly turned into a fashionista version of a woman and replied "GIRL, this place is amazing! I haven't seen couches like this since the 3rd century!" He then turned to Chick and turned back into himself and responded "But in all seriousness, thank you. I'm glad to be here, can you just tell me about jasmine. She's what I'm really looking for"
XXXXXXXX

"There's more than one genie? I'm impressed! This is incredible. It is also nice to see we are welcome here, I thank you all for your hospitality" Nicholls responded politely as Rupert, Grimhilde and Chick welcomed him in. He then saw Genie ramble about and turn into specific things, which resulted in him chuckling out of complete amusement despite his situation. He turned to Chick, who welcomed him warmly, but told him very strange information. Shock was on his features as it turned out there was people who looked very similar to him. While two other men were on their side and nothing to worry about, they were being guarded for someone who looked like him was a huge threat to other armies who might want a piece of him, resulting in Nicholls needing to be protected should the case be he gets assumed as the said villain who looks similar to him. Nicholls nodded slowly before responding "I thank you, miss. I have no issue with having a couple of bodyguards if it means my safety. I very much appreciate your kindness and warning. I will take it to consideration"

He then softly took off his hat and bowed his head "Oh. I suppose since nobody seems to know me, I mustn't be so rude and actually introduced myself" He couldn't help but smile humbly, he didn't have a huge issue with not being well-known. He didn't mind at all. He responded kindly "My name is James Nicholls. You can call me just James or Nicholls for short. I used to be the captain of the british army of world war 1. I am at your service since I heard there's a war going on"
XXXXX

"I swear, I feel like I just stepped into the twilight zone" A robotized voice came into the picture. It turned out to be coming from a blue, hovering robot. Pollo was his name and he was here, finally, to help out with the others of his team as well as his friends' friends. He looked around and he responded to Chick "Hi nostalgia chick. Still have room for me to join in? Is linkara here? Or is he causing trouble again?" He teased, showing signs of amusement after he said that. He looked about and said "Wow. Linkara wrote on email it was crazy here, but it looks really good so far. Good job on the housekeeping"

[Nostalgia Chick]

Gene grinned glad to have the other genie around.

"I'm so glad you're here. A genie's life is a lonely one. I've tried not to get too attached to my masters but there were a few I became really close with. The good ones anyway. I do miss them. Especially Ali Baba. He was one of my best masters." said Gene.

He blushed realizing the mistake that James wasn't his master and Genie was free.

"A free genie. Oh how I long to be free. To be a real boy. But I know that's never going to happen. I can't even grow up as a genie. I'm stuck as a kid for eternity. And being stuck as a kid forever isn't as much as fun as you'd think." said Gene.

He paused as Chick and Genie talked about Jasmine and felt sympathy for the guy. He would let chick tell him the news.

XXXX

Grimhilde looked sad at the mention of Jasmine.

"Genie. There's something you need to know about Jasmine. She was kidnapped. She's been a prisoner of Ask That Guy's Army for weeks." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Rupert remained silent as Grimhilde told Genie what happened to Jasmine. He took a seat turning to James.

"So how are you adjusting to this time period James? I know world war 1 happened a long time ago. At least here. It's 2012 here. I'm still trying to adjust. I'm from the past. Queen Grimhilde and I are from the same time period and world." said Rupert.

XXXX

Chick was about to speak but Grimhilde beat her to it. She looked at Genie sadly and nodded.

"She's right. Jasmine was kidnapped. The villains have kidnapped people here several times. I was one of their first victims. We've just haven't figured out how to free her yet. Although with your help I'm sure we'll have her back very soon." said Chick.

Chick smiled at his complimented the furniture. She looked at him in confusion.

"But aren't you a time traveler? I thought that was one of your powers?" said Chick.

Chick smiled seeing Pollo arrived.

"Hello Pollo. Linkara, Harvey, and 90's Kid are all here. Unfortunately so are many of your enemies. I'm sure Linkara's kept you up to date right?" said Chick.

[Genie]

"I'm glad to be here. Trust me, kiddo, I get what you're saying. It's not fun. But hang on, it gets better eventually. I'm sorry about all the masters you miss. But just keep being yourself and hopefully life will turn up" Genie said, surprisingly serious, his smile less friendly and more observant. Gene's situation was very similar to his own. So Genie was very quick to be sympathetic and understanding. He offered a big grin to Gene "You know what, whenever your master is free, maybe you and I can have some fun how's that sound?" He then listened some more as Gene told him some other unfortunate aspects. Like being forced to be a child. The poor thing didn't even get to grow up? That DID sound suckish to the adult genie. "You're right. It probably isn't as fun as I think. I'm sorry about you not being free kiddo. If I could, I'd use my magic to set you free but I don't think I can't do that. If I could I certainly would. Just hang on. That's all I can do. That and hang around you if you want"

He then beamed at the sound of jasmine, and for the moment gene was forgotten, however his bright smile turned into a big frown. Both Grimhilde and Chick told him that the person he had been searching for... was captured. By the enemy team. One that has previously captured people before, so they knew how to deal with prisoners. Genie, for once in his life, was panicking. As seen with widened eyes and a bitten lip, Genie just turned his tail-like bottom to legs and just leaned against a wall "I wish I gotten here sooner. Maybe she would've been saved by me. Now it's too late and I need to bring her back" He sighed, seeing the sad faces but he couldn't help but feel as if his heart broke. This was almost as bad as hearing aladdin tell him he couldn't be free. Almost but it was still very bad. Genie sighed softly and then growled "If they harm one hair on her head, they'll wish I was still stuck as a prisoner of that blasted lamp" He was tempted to go now, he had the power so why not? But what would that make him? Just as bad as the people who had jasmine. And he needed to set a example.

"Tell me what I need to do, when to do it and how to do it and I'll do it" Genie said, firm tone and expression extremely serious. He then chuckled as Chick brought up his time travelling "Oh I do honey but I just haven't seen couches as nice looking as yours. That was the joke" He patted her shoulder and then responded softly, trying to be happier for the sake of not making himself appear so angry "You know. I like you guys. I have a great feeling I'll be right at home"
XXXX

"So far? I am very nervous to be honest, my new friend" Nicholls replied as Rupert chatted with him. The captain quickly sat down next to the past prince, and he smiled as Rupert said he and Grimhilde were from the past and therefore were in the same issue as he was. He nodded as he said world war one was far into the past, and the fact it was many years into the future automatically gave James the sign that he was going to have a problem adjusting right off the bat. "I do not know the future. Many of the things here are odd. Wait, what is that?!" He pointed to the television before laughing nervously "See? That is what I'm talking about. I cannot understand much of the stuff here. I'm nervous about what I am going to learn"
XXXXXX

"He did. No worries. I know most of the stuff here, Linkara's incredibly prepared. That's why the atop the fourth wall team has such successes. Well enough of about that. I'm just glad everybody is alright so far. Anything you need me to do now?" Pollo replied, wondering where Linkara was. He always knew that linksano was at the lab and harvey was probably outback smoking and 90's kid, knowing the innocent's mind, was playing games or hanging with chester/the children. But linkara was a lot of things. So it was hard to find him. "Hey chick, by any chance you know where linkara is? He hasn't even bothered to say hi. Such a shame" He said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice

(OCC: I probably will bring in linkara next post but for now pollo needs to ask this)

[Chester A Bum]

Gene grinned

"I'm glad you're here. At least I have someone here who gets the genie thing." said Gene.

He grinned.

"I'd like that. Grimhilde lets me go where I please right now. I normally play with the other kids in the army. Although when she wants a wish I automatically come back to her anyway since has my lamp." said Gene.

He nodded grinning at Genie.

"I appreciate you wanting to try. I'd settle for being friends. That'll make me happy." said Gene.

He frowned learning this guy was a friend of Jasmine and he sighed.

"I'm sorry your friend got captured. We've tried to get her back. But she's trapped at Ask That Guy's house. Last few times we've tried to rescue captives it took several attempts. Some of them even had to escape themselves." said Gene.

XXXX

Grimhilde nodded confirming what Gene said.

"Yes. Grimhilde is free to come and go as he pleases. I still have one wish left." said Grimhilde.

She shook her head at Genie.

"Maybe you would have or maybe they've have taken you instead. Having a genie for a prize even a freed genie might have been too tempting of an offer." said Grimhilde.

Grimhilde paused remembering she had one wish.

"I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. My third wish. Could I use it to wish Jasmine here? Or would they be able to block that somehow?" asked Grimhilde.

She nodded at Chick's question.

"Yes. Jasmine is a friend of mine. I've already got 2 wishes of what I wanted. And I do want Jasmine safe so it's win-win for me." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Chick hugged Genie trying to her best to be there for him.

"We will get Jasmine back. She has a lot of friends here. We're trying to plan a rescue but like Grimhilde and Gene said it's hard to get in." said Chick.

Chick sighed.

"We need to design an escape plan where none of us end up joining jasmine or taking her place. That happened in one attempt. They kidnapped 8 people from our army. Three of them escaped on their own and then we went to rescue them and only saved two of them that time. And they captured a member of the rescue party in that attempt. We eventually freed the rest of that group but during that third attempt they captured Jasmine." said Chick.

Chick chuckled at his words.

"I see. I'm sure there has to be couches better than these." said Chick.

"I hope you feel right at home Genie." said Chick.

She paused hearing Grimhilde and nodded.

"Grimhilde's right. I know Mozenrath tried to use you and the other genie Eden to try to make him invincible. Thankfully you were able to reverse it. But we can't lose anyone else especially our most powerful members like you." said Chick.

She paused glancing at Gene and Genie after hearing Grimhilde's question.

"I'm not sure. But you'd really give up your last wish to save Jasmine?" said Chick.

She was shocked. Grimhilde had certainly changed a lot because of this war and most of it she figured it was because of Ace, Jasmine, Gene, and Rupert. Chick turned to Pollo and chuckled.

"I see. Well he should be around here somewhere. He may not know you're here yet. Maybe you could go find him. Or Linksano. Or Harvey. or 90's Kid and check up on them." said Chick.

She shook her head.

"Nope. Nothing comes to mind. Unless you know a way to make our security more safer than it is. We don't need anymore break ins." said Chick.

XXXX

Rupert grinned tuning out the rest of the conversations as he talked with Rupert.

"I am too. Many of us are from different times. While some are a bit more recent there are others like us and Grimhilde from different points of the past. Perhaps we could get together and form a study group or something so we could learn more about this modern era together." said Rupert.

He chuckled as he pointed at the tv wondering what it was.

"It's called a television. It allows you to see people inside it. It's like a movie or a play only inside that box. I'm not very good at explaining things. Perhaps you could ask some of the others from this time if you wish to know more about it." said Rupert.

XXXX

Chester walked out next grinning seeing new arrivals.

"Oh my god this is the great day I've ever had in my life. We've got Genie! This is great." said Chester.

He paused looking over seeing James and suddenly blushed. He first thought it was Hal or Magnus but he was dressed differently. Another Loki doppleganger. So now there's four guys running around looking like the same person. That sounded oddly familiar to him. As if he'd seen that before somewhere. He shrugged it off guessing it wasn't important. He walked up to Rupert and James to say hi. Instead he just found himself grinning a bit before he finally spoke.

"Hello." said Chester.

[Captain James Nicholls]

"It is nice to have someone to understand the situation you're going through" Genie said, his attention on Gene for a bit. He then listened as Gene said he was welcome to visit and hang out with Genie due to Grimhilde allowing him to do as he wished except for when he was needed by grimhilde. He then turned to hear grimhilde confirm this "Awesome. You and me kiddo, we'll do lots of fun stuff. Sounds great!" He then nodded as gene asked if they would be friends "Absolutely, amigos, buddies, pals, bffs for life, the usual gig" He then smiled softly as gene, chick and a few others showed their support to him "You're all too sweet. Thanks. It's rough for me to hear but I'm glad you told me" Then as grimhilde told him about possibly being captured if he did show up and he nodded, seeing her point then smiling as chick teased him about the couches as well as welcome him once more. "Like I said, I really am gonna like it here I think"

He then listened as grimhilde suggested using her final wish for jasmine. Genie sighed "That's amazing. That would be truly amazing. Except..." Genie slammed his fist in "I really, really, REALLY hate saying this because I want jasmine more than anything but... If you wish her back, gene can't be set free. Once the wish is gone, gene is gonna have to get a new master" He then pondered "Although, one of the other members here could grab him and become his master" He grinned "Wait! Yes! Grimhilde using her final wish could work, because if gene's here, someone from this army could use the lamp and keep gene here" Genie pondered "Then again I'm a genie myself, a old one, so the rules COULD have been changed while I was still being imprisioned" He sighed, rubbing his face "God. This is really complicated. Jasmine being gone must of really messed me up" He then grinned as Linkara came and hugged pollo "Awww! It's so sweet! It's like seeing your boyfriend after all these years. So nice" He then heard Chester and responded, sunglasses instantly put on his face "Please no pictures" He then took it off and grinned "Kidding, doll. It's nice to have a fan!"
XXXXXX

Pollo nodded as Chick suggested finding his friends "Will do that. Sounds like a plan" He then listened as chick gave him a small assignment "Wow. You guys have stuff pretty good but will do that too. It'll keep me busy" He then saw Linkara come over, hugged him, and when put down he replied, a hint of happiness in his voice "It's good to see you too, Linkara. I'm a bit offended you didn't immediately come check on me but I'm sure you're busy" He then nodded as linkara apologized "No worries. I'm glad to see you did miss me"
XXXXX

Linkara was just about to check some snacks when he saw a familiar robot. A huge, HUGE grin came on the man's face and he screamed "Pollo!" He was weary of chick before grabbed pollo and hugged the robot "You came! You finally came! I can't believe you're here! I'm so glad you got my email and came over!" He then listened as pollo teased him and he responded sincerely "I'm sorry for not being here buddy but it's good to have you!" He then nodded "I did. 90's kid and Linksano and Harvey did too"
XXXXXX

"That sounds like a excellent idea! It will be extremely helpful for us who aren't really used to this period of time. Consider me convinced. You and I can moderate it and help those who need it most. Obviously there are quite a few individuals who need this program anyway, so we're bound to have plenty of people" Nicholls replied, a positive grin gleaming on his shaved, delicate features. He was like a child with this grin. He was just glad people were kind to him and willing to put up with him. He then blushed as Rupert explained to him that what he was pointing to was a television. As rupert described it, Nicholls' eyes widened like saucers and he was so fascinated. Back where he came from, nobody even considered it a possibility. It was indeed the future and James was completely, utterly impressed. "Incredible! This is what we humans made! This is the miracle of the future! Amazing!" He then nodded "Absolutely, I would love to see what programs this object... television has"

He then turned to Chester who shyly said hello, and James couldn't help but be amazed by the man. Something about the man's face immediately drew a spark of physical and perhaps emotional attraction. Chester seemed like a very kind soul, and his face showed lots of kindness. Especially his eyes. James just really, really loved chester's eyes. Immediately james stood up and shook chester's hand, looking down at it for a minute in slight curiosity, wondering who was this man before shyly saying in return "Hello there, good man. I'm James Nicholls, captain of the british army" He then coughed, feeling a tad humbled "You can call me james or nicholls if you wish. Whatever you want... um, pardon I did not catch your name"

[Princess Jasmine]

Gene nodded.

"I'm glad you're here. It's nice having another genie here." said Gene.

He grinned as Genie agreed to be pals. He paused as Grimhilde asked to use his third wish. He sighed and nodded.

"I don't think I want to be free anyway. Not right now. I can use my magic to protect myself but if i'm free then I'll just be a regular boy. And sent off to Roses's house for my safety. This way I can help. Maybe after the war's over I could be freed." said Gene.

He did want to be a regular kid more than anything but he wanted to help too. Gene nodded granting Grimhilde's wish.

"Your wish is granted." said Gene.

He puffed back into the lamp awaiting his new master and then the lamp faded way to the shock of the group.

XXXX

Grimhilde heard Genie and Gene's requests.

"Very well. No one shall wish for your freedom Gene until you say we can. We have enough members here that wishes could be of use to us. But we will need to remember who's held your lamp here. Make a list or somethinig. Once the three wishes are up then you can't make anymore for that person." said Grimhilde.

She paused holding the lamp.

"I wish for Jasmine to be here." said Grimhilde.

She rushed over seeing Jasmine. She waved her hand as the chains fell over Jasmine and disappeared.

"She's hurt. One of my wishes was to be a sorceress but I'm still new to my powers. Genie could you heal her at all? Or do we need to do it the natural way?" said Grimhilde.

She froze as the lamp disappeared as her eyes widened.

"Oh no. We have to find the lamp. If Ask That Guy or Facilier's armies get it we'll really be in trouble." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

A puff of white smoke appeared dropping Jasmine. She was in chains and a bit bruised as she collapsed to the ground. She coughed as she paused looking around and grinned realizing she was safe.

"You saved me. I'm free." said Jasmine.

She paused in shock seeing Genie was there. The chains disappeared to her relief as she smiled at him.

"Genie! You're here. I've missed you." said Jasmine.

She paused seeing the concern and shock at the lamp disappearing.

"Wait. Gene's missing?" asked Jasmine.

XXXX

Rupert grinned as he talked with Nicholls.

"Good. We all need to help adjust to this time period and this new world." said Rupert.

He nodded as Chester was fascinated about this new world as he was. He had some time to adjust being a former Magic Mirror. He saw the exchange between him and Chester and chuckled. He leaned over and whispered with a grin.

"Looks like someone's got a crush on you." whispered Rupert .

He paused in shock as Grimhilde used her third wish and an injured Jasmine appeared.

"Is she alright?" asked Rupert.

He watched in shock as Gene's lamp vanished.

"We must begin searching for the lamp at once. I hope it's here in our house or Roses's house. Grimhilde is right. If oneo f the armies finds that lamp we'll all be in trouble." said Rupert.

XXXX

Chester grinned at him.

"It's nice to meet you James. A Captain! I've never met a captain before." said Chester.

He bowed to him to show his respect. He grinned standing up as James asked his name.

"I'm Chester A. Bum but most people just call me Chester." said Chester.

He was in shock as Jasmine appeared as he saw Grimhilde use her third wish.

"That's Princess Jasmine. She was taken prisoner but we just used magic to get her back. I'm glad she's safe." said Chester.

XXXX

Chick sighed in relief as Grimhilde made her third wish as Jasmine was returned.

"Jasmine! I'm so glad you're back." said Chick.

She froze seeing the lamp disappear and everyone was concerned about Gene.

"We'll start look for him right away but first we need to get Jasmine some attention. Someone fetch Splinter or Mrs. Potts. She needs help." said Chick.

[Genie]

"Good to have you too kid" Genie replied sincerely. He then grinned as Grimhilde used her last wish to find jasmine. He then saw everyone panic understandably about Gene's disappearance. Although not TOO happy or pleasant, Genie was aware of this and quickly answered "He's definitely not too far. Oh no. The lamp can't go anywhere unless someone grabs it.... I'm sure it's at the house. We'll search everywhere. I know I will"

"JASMINE!" Genie's worry was suddenly gone and his happiness was ten times more. He was about to squeeze her but then frowned seeing her seriously injured. When asked to heal her, he immediately tried but jumped as negative responses happened "I can't. It seems Ask Thatguy's goons are magic or used some sort of torture that's beyond my power. I can't heal her without dangering her" He gently hugged her and listening to those telling that she needed attention. He was quick "I'll take her. Let me" He then eventually went to a medical bay where Splinter was "Hey mister. Can you help? My friend's hurt!"

"I missed you too Jas. Al and I searched everywhere. He's ok but worried sick. So was I. I mean who am going to gossip with?" He tried to joke.
XXXX

"Of course.... Jasmine! You are here!" Splinter said as Genie and Jasmine came. He was quick to guide her to a area in the bed and grabbed supplies. "Those people were malicious with you" He mumbled "If any longer, you might have no chance at all. Fear not, Miss. I shall make sure you come to full recovery" He began rubbing lotions and rubbing medicine. He then put bandages as Jasmine and Genie began to talk
XXXXX

Hearing Chester speak was rather sweet and he blushed as Rupert whispered that Chester possibly was interested in him. He may have not know a lot of things, but he definitely knew about crushes. Nicholls felt interested in the man. Sure he didn't look too fancy but Chester's face just screamed kindness and he saw a lot of sweet potential with the man. He chuckled softly and nodded his head as Chester bowed "You are far too kind. I need no special treatment. Thank you" He then breathed softly as Chester said his name. "What a excellent name. Chester. A pleasure to meet you" He then saw Jasmine and gasped as she suddenly appeared. When chester explained her he smiled "Terrific! She has returned!"

When hearing Gene was missing, Nicholls instantly assumed the duck child, he went into full attention. With that power on a enemy side, Nicholls knew that spelt trouble. "Chester, Rupert and I will go search upstairs if it pleases you, Miss" He referred immediately to Chick.

[Nostalgia Chick]

Medical Bay:

Jasmine let Genie take her to the medical bay to tired to protest. She smiled as he said he an Aladdin had searched for her.

"So Aladdin, my father, and everyone else is still back home? Well at least they're safe." said Jasmine.

She turned to Splinter and smiled.

"Genie couldn't help me with his magic so I guess I have to heal the natural way?" said Jasmine.

She laid down at let Splinter take care of her.

"I'm glad you're here Genie. I'm not as homesick with you here." said Jasmine.

XXXX

Living Room:

Grimhilde was relieved as Genie whisked Jasmine off to the medical bay to be cured. She was worried about Gene though. She turned to Rupert.

"Rupert, can you help us find Gene? I just hope he hasn't fallen into one of the armies hands. The last thing we need is one of them using three wishes to harm us." said Grimhilde.

She saw the vision in the mirror.

"Where is he, Rupert? Where is the lamp? I may not be his master anymore but I don't want him to be put into danger. Or the rest of us." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Rupert grinned as James blushed. He saw Genie take Jasmine away and then he heard Grimhilde's request. He excused himself walking over to a mirror. He ran his hand along it activating his powers to try to search for the lamp. He hoped they found Gene. he'd become a good friend and he owed his freedom to the child genie.

"Hang on Gene. We'll find you." said Rupert.

He watched as Gene finally appeared inside his lamp. He heard them ask where he was.

"I'm trying to locate him but I can't figure out where he is. I think he's at least in this house. But something is disrupting me. I think it's the lamp itself. We'll have to find it on our own." said Rupert.

The images vanished from the mirror.

XXXX

Chester smiled at him.

"Your welcome. And Chester's not that excellent. But I'm glad you wanted to meet me." said Chester.

He watched Genie take Jasmine away as Grimhilde asked Rupert to help find Gene.

"That poor kid. Stuck as a genie all those years granting other peoples wishes. And never getting one of your own. And being stuck as a kid. I mean I know some people would like to stay a kid forever but that can't always be fun. No matter how many adaptations of Peter Pan there are." said Chester.

He paused hearing Chick and Grimhilde before turning back to James.

"They're right. We can't go rushing off without any idea where he is. Rupert can help us narrow it down. And hopefully, find him before one of the bad guys do." said Chester.

He watched the vision and nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find him." said Chester.

XXXX

Chick nodded turning to the others.

"We could search the whole house. But what if it went to Roses's house? Or one of the other armies?" said Chick.

She watched Rupert use his powers to find the lamp.

"Where is he Prince Rupert?" asked Chick.

She nodded.

"Chester's right. We should go find him." said Chick.

XXXX

The mirror revealed the lamp with Gene inside it. Gene was curled up into a ball.

"Well it was nice having a nice master while it lasted. I just hope I don't end up with one of the other armies. I don't want to hurt my friends." said Gene.

(ooc: Feel free to have one of your characters find the lamp and become gene's new master. Be ironic if Genie ended up having a genie work for him but he's busy helping jasmine. xd)

[Captain James Nicholls]

(OCC: Oh yes XD. I'm glad that it's one of my characters.... I got it! James! I want James to do more so he'll be Gene's new master. Don't worry, James is a nice man)

Medical Bay

"I'm afraid so. Since his magic did not work. Do not worry" Splinter replied. As he repaired her, Genie nodded at her responses. The blue creature nodded "Oh yeah, other than searching for you, nothing has been going on. Everything is... almost normal but Aladdin's worried sick. He's worried one of our old fuddle-duddie jerk enemies came back and took you"

"Of course it is. I'll make things so much fun here" Genie joked, winking at her. He then remembered she was still handling a lot and responded "You're going to be ok Jas. I'll make those people who hurt you pay for what they did"

Living Room/Other

Seeing his new friend Rupert's reaction made James blush even more. The solider, despite his militant look, was pretty much similar to a awkward high-schooler. He then grinned as Chester said he was glad James was pleased to meet him "Well I suppose we should get to know each other more soon, sir" He then watched and only observed as Chester calmly told him to stay put. That they didn't know where to look yet and being so quick would only make it harder. He watched as rupert explained that gene was possibly still in their home but he couldn't pin-point it due to a blocking. James immediately listened as everyone began saying they must search for him. "Yes. The sooner we find him, the safer Gene will be. Let us go now that we have a heading"

James immediately turned to chick and responded "I shall look now. Gene needs someone to find him" After a little while, he eventually went off to search for the lamp. He immediately looked around the room, from the floors to certain chairs. Eventually though, while everyone was looking wherever they wanted. He then saw a golden object shine slightly underneath a big couch. James quickly picked it up and shouted "Madame! Everyone! I think I found him!" He then saw the lamp and gently rubbed it, hoping he was right.

[Gene The Genie]

Medical Bay:

Jasmine watched Genie and Splinter talk.

"I'm glad you're here Genie. I'm grateful for the rescue. I wish I could just heal myself magically but I guess I should be grateful to be free and alive." said Jasmine.

She listened relieved everything was okay back home but they were just worried.

"And now he'll be more worried that you've disappeared. And there's no way to contact Aladdin, my father and the others." said Jasmine.

Jasmine chuckled at Genie's words.

"I'm sure you will." said Jasmine.

She nodded to him.

"Just go easy on the slaves and kids. Some of the kids I'm sure are being tricked or manipulated. There was one slave who kept hitting on me. He had a weird name. It was a spice. Pepper? No that's not right. Sage. That's it. I hope he's okay." said Jasmine.

(ooc: feel free to have someone walk in who knows sage. maybe someone overhears when they're searching for gene. xD)

Living Room/Other:

Grimhilde and Chick left leaving the room quickly going around to explore the house. Grimhile headed to the basement while Chick checked outside. He paused looking at chest with a grin.

"Maybe James needs some help searching upstairs. I'll check this floor." said Rupert.

XXXX

Chester nodded.

"Let's go find the duck." said Chester.

He watched everyone split up to go serch for the duck. He heard Rupert and grinned.

"Sure I don't mind help out James find the duck." said Chester.

Chester heard James and rushed into the room.

"You found it. This is the greatest news I've heard in my life. Well you should rub it and let the kid out. You are his new master now right?" said Chester.

He liked this guy and wanted to know more about him. And he wanted to hang out with him while they were alone. He wasn't sure why. BUt he wanted to.

(ooc: figured chester & james could get some alone time for a post or two while everyone's searching for the lamp. couldn't resist rupert playing match maker and putting them alone for awhile. xD.)

[Captain James Nicholls]

(OCC: Alright. I need to use pollo more so he will learn of it. Plus that's fine, chester and James need time. Still, I really like James is gonna be Gene the Genie)

Medical Bay

Splinter allowed himself to just listen. Genie did most of the talking anyway. The blue genie nodded with a grin as Jasmine admitted she was happy he was here. That made him glad to know that she wasn't so lonely anymore. "Well having injuries isn't really a walk in the park. But through time it'll be right as rain. Don't worry, I'm just glad you're way safer with us now"

"Yeah. Poor Al. We can't contact them here in this place. My magic can do a lot of things but universal contact isn't really one of them" Genie sighed, rather disappointed with him. Being free was the best thing in the world but it did mean he had less powers to work with.

"Don't worry, Jas. I'll be easy on them. I'll try to find Sage too, even IF he's a bit of a perv" Genie replied

As Jasmine said something about a slave, Pollo at first wasn't going to listen until she mentioned the name Sage. Pollo's sensors perked up at that name. He knew Linkara and the team knew of him and that immediately made him worry. He quickly went in and responded "Jasmine. Sage is one of Linkara's allies. You say he was brainwashed?"

Living Room/Other

James held the lamp and tried to keep rubbing when he saw Chester pop in. James beamed and blushed as Chester said this was the greatest news he ever heard. Chester's happiness actually made James himself very happy. He then kept rubbing the lamp some more and turned to chester again after the other kept talking to him. James nodded "I believe so. I do hope Gene was okay after that little fiasco of searching for him. The poor thing seemed to go through enough from what he described to that blue fellow" He blushed a bit as he saw Chester look at him. Like chester, James liked it when the two were alone.

[Gene The Genie]

medical bay:

Jasmine nodded.

"A shame you can't grant wishes anymore. Wait Gene still can. But magic still has its limits doesn't it? You guys would have used a wish to end this and send everyone home if you could." said Jasmine.

Jasmine sighed.

"Queen Grimhilde turned Rupert into a mirror once and with Gene's magic returned him to normal. Could we do something like that? Use a mirror to contact between worlds? If we used a wish from Gene?" said Jasmine.

Jasmine nodded.

"He was kind of creepy but he didn't meany any real harm I don't think." said Jasmine.

She paused looking over at Pollo.

"He was Dark Nella's slave last I heard. Forced to obey her commands and fight in the army. Which means you may be fighting him pretty soon. Especially with the army splitting in two. They're going to use everyone they can in this war." said Jasmine.

Living Room/Other:

Rupert had joined Chick and Grimhilde in searching the living room and other downstairs rooms. But there was no sign of the lamp.

"I hope we can find him. And he isn't taken by any of our enemies." said Rupert.

XXXX

Upstairs:

Chester grinned glad James found the lamp.

"This is great. We should go tell the others." said Chester.

He grinned running only to slip and crash into James pulling him on top of him as Chester groaned landing on his back. He heard the clunk seeing the lamp lying next to him.

"At least I didn't land on the lamp. Are you alright James?" asked Chester.

He blushed realizing James was on top of him and yet it felt nice to be this close to him. On an impulse he hugged James holding him close.

"If I had only one wish I wish I could have someone as amazing as you in my life." whispered Chester.

He saw the look on James's face and Chester realized he said that out loud. Chester blushed wishing he could go run and hide somewhere.

"Could you get up? The floor's not very comfortable." said Chester.

[Genie]

Medical Bay

"Genies can't do everything, Jas. Magic may be in me but freedom does come with a price. Just like power does. Even if Gene was given a wish like that it probably would be too much for the little guy anyway. As for me, I can't anymore because the magic I have now is lesser than before. That's why people don't REALLY release genies because all that power can just go like that" As he said 'that' he snapped his fingers. Genie explained calmly and with simplicity. She was a mortal woman who didn't understand, and that was more than fine.

"Now THAT type of wish is up to whoever is his master. Basically we could but he has to be wished to do things like that" Genie said, a hopeful grin on his face. Genie sighed "See, it really sucks talking about what Gene needs to be told to do. That kid should be set free, he's just that, a kid who needs to grow up. Literally" Genie said this because of his experiences but he knew power helped, especially with war.

Meanwhile Pollo listened, Splinter even more observant, Pollo though at the conversation change to Sage stood at attention. "You're right, Sage is a dangerous man despite his simpleness. I need to tell Linkara about this" Pollo hovered a bit before lowering himself, almost like a type of physical sigh "He, along with the rest of the reviewers, are NOT going to like this. Dark Nella is a powerful woman and sage in her hands is chaos"

Upstairs

"We probably sh---Hey!" James tried to grab Chester to stop him from falling but ended up falling with him. The soldier fell on top of the man, something that seemed to embarrass both of them. When asked if he was alright, James only nodded. Chester then hugged him, and mumbled that he wished that he had someone amazing like James. "Frankly, you can have me, and you do not need a wish for that" James replied, his skin redder than a tomato after that rather bold confession.

James nodded, softly replying "Of course. I am sorry" He then did something that he never saw himself doing. He gave a tender little kiss on Chester's forehead. With haste, he helped Chester up and looked to the lamp, to avoid looking at Chester.
