217 Genies Need Liberation

As Sophie and Matt walked downstairs, they heard the sounds of the TV. They walked into the living room, and saw Alexis and Lumiosa, who were sat on the sofa with two Wii Wheels in their hands.

"What are you doing?" Sophie asked them.

"Teaching Lumiosa how to play Mario Kart," Alexis replied.

"I believe I am getting the hang of it," Lumiosa said. "I only came 4th in the last race."

"I figured I'd introduce her to some modern technology," Alexis said. "We watched the first series of Doctor Who, before we got the Wii out and I showed her video games."

"These devices are all remarkable," Lumiosa smiled. "Are you sure they're not magical, Alexis?"

"Positive," Alexis replied.

"Well I'm glad you two have been having fun," Matt smiled. "Sophie and I just had the best shower ever."

"Typical humans," Alexis said. "Always thinking with their groins."

"Oh says you," Sophie said. "The first thing you did on getting out of your lamp was to seduce me."

"Hey, gotta make a good first impression."

The two humans sat down on the other sofa, and looked over at the 4 lamps that they'd recovered from the society, which were sitting on the floor.

"I suppose we need to work out what to do with them," Matt said.

"And the other ones the society has," Sophie added. "They've got 217 lamps locked away somewhere that need liberating."

"Well if you two are truly exempt from the rules, then that should be simple," Alexis said. "We normally can't find our brothers and sisters with magic, because we can't use it on each-other, but you should just be able to wish for it."

"Alright then, do it," Sophie ordered. "Alexis, I wish for you to find all 217 of those lamps."

"Your wish is my command, Sophie."

Alexis closed her eyes, and began to focus.

"Now then, Brian said he was taking the lamps they recovered from Alex back to put them with the others," she said. "Which means they're probably at his house."

"Master, do you wish for me to assist her?" Lumiosa asked Matt.

"I can handle this myself, Lumiosa," Alexis said, almost offended that the other genie doubted her abilities. "Let's see...typical, another mansion. No servants, I notice. He must have just got Lexia to do everything. Lots of magical protection though. He really got her working. Paranoid I guess, but considering the stuff Alex did to your friends and family, it's probably for the best. Wait, hang on. There's a door here. It's hidden. Properly hidden. Invisible to most people, except of course other Masters and their genies. Well this looks promising...Ah, found you, my brothers and sisters."

"You've found the lamps!?" Matt asked excitedly, and Alexis nodded.

"So bring them here!" Sophie ordered.

"I don't recommend that," Alexis said. "I'm not sure this room's really equipped for the sudden appearance of 217 magic lamps."

"Well, I have a suggestion," Lumiosa chimed in. "We could just do this." Lumiosa then snapped her fingers, and Alexis looked confused.
