The Dark Cloud

"Monstrous Roar"

This roar of that monster is well heard by all of the people of Agrabah including the people present at the royal palace and taking the chance the monster slammed his very big hands on the ground which created violent trembles on the ground while destroying the entrance gate of Agrabah.

This thunderous slamming of the monster and the subsequent destruction of the entrance gate of Agrabah clearly sent out vision of hell for the people of Agrabah.

Not just the civilians who are present in the market saw and felt the monster but even the royal palace has felt the same thing.

And soon enough the monster with it's monstrous roar jumped inside the main city of Agrabah sending down the horrifying chills of death and destruction to the onlookers.

Landing on the ground inside the city market the monster created the trembles and then the monster again slammed it's giant hands on the ground creating another earthquake like impact on the ground which made the civilians and their houses to tremble violently.

And this time the royal palace also trembled violently due to the same slamming of hands by the monster.

Counselor Amir: "General Hamid what is going on ?"

Inside the royal palace Counselor Amir who felt this violent trembling came running to the side of General Hamid to know about the situation.

And when he arrived near General Hamid and asked him about the situation, Counselor Amir saw General Hamid is looking towards the market with a deep shock of horror dancing on his face.

"A Monster!!!" Exclaiming in horror both General Hamid and Counselor Amir became frightened as they both saw the monster with their own eyes destroying the market.

Counselor Amir: "General send the soldiers immediately to counter this monster."

General Hamid: "Right away Counselor."

Immediately both General Hamid and Counselor Amir moved towards the soldiers who have all gathered in front of the royal palace.

Meanwhile Princess Jasmine is also watching the attack of the monster on her dear Agrabah and there is only one thought going inside her head seeing this attack.

Princess Jasmine: "(Where are you Aladdin ? Agrabah and I both need our Sultan right now.")

While Princess Jasmine is in her own deep sadness and helplessness mood, Dalia is standing right outside the door of her best friend waiting for her to come out.

Back at the front of the castle General Hamid and Counselor Amir standing in front of the soldiers and General Hamid is about to give orders to the soldiers.

General Hamid: "Soldiers, Our dear Agrabah is facing a great calamity once again. But we have to face this calamity head on and defeat it completely. My dear soldiers get ready to finish off that monster."

The words of General Hamid were filled encouragement and duty driven which were enough to motive any soldier to fulfill his duty.

But the soldiers of Agrabah somehow became gloomy and unmotivated. They didn't even give any slightest nod to General Hamid's words.

And seeing the faces and no reaction of the soldiers both General Hamid and Counselor Amir became very tensed.

General Hamid: "What is this attitude of yours my soldiers ? You are the brave and mighty soldiers of Agrabah. You are the greatest defense and attacking force of Agrabah. Pick up your weapons and get ready to fight."

Still the soldiers showed no interest to the words of General Hamid and then...

Random Soldier #1: "I don't want to fight that monster."

Random Soldier #2: "Yes. I also don't want to fight that monster."

Random Monster #3: "That can kill us at any moment when we go to face him. So we will all just want to go to our homes and stay with our family."

All soldiers: "Yes we want to go to our home and stay with our family."

"Things are going just the way I want."

One after another and then all the soldiers began to protest against the words of General Hamid. All the soldiers who never hesitated for a slightest about their lives when Agrabah needed them are hesitating today.

They all for the first time outright rejected the words and command of General Hamid. They all became selfish.

General Hamid seeing his soldiers being this selfish and gloomy became very angry and began to shout at them, "You all were once my pride. But now you all have made me feel ashamed. ARE YOU REALLY MY SOLDIERS ?"

General Hamid's angry shouting still didn't made any impact on the soldiers and they all remained in their same gloomy and selfish state.

"General what should we do now ?" A very tensed Counselor Amir asked this question to General Hamid. And seeing the situation General Hamid got filled with his sheer determination and replied, "In this situation I will go out and fight the monster alone."

The warrior inside General Hamid brimmed with warrior spirit and holding his sword he began to move out of the royal palace while giving one last look to the soldiers.

"Wait General Hamid."

Just as General Hamid took steps, he heard a female voice calling him which came from the inside of the palace and the instant he heard the voice, he got knew who is the owner of the voice.

Turning head towards the direction from where the voice came from the direction, General Hamid saw a femine figure cladded in a warrior attire holding a shining sword in her hand moving closer to them.

This is none other than Princess Jasmine herself who has taken the matter in her own hands.

"Now the main character is here."

Counselor Amir: "Princess why are you here ?"

Princess Jasmine: "Counselor Amir I am here to make our soldiers remember their duty."

General Hamid: "Princess the situation..."

Princess Jasmine: "General I know the situation. Dalia has told me about the situation."

Few moments earlier Dalia had witnessed the situation of the soldiers and told everything to Jasmine while standing outside the room.

After hearing the words of Dalia, Jasmine remembered the words of her late father which inspired her to come to the soldiers and remind them of their duty.

Soon Princess Jasmine held her ground in front of the soldiers and then she began to told the soldiers about their duties.

Princess Jasmine: "Soldiers I know what you all are feeling right now. You all are being restless now which is expected from every human in these kind of situations. We all love our family and we all have our family as our main weakness. You all are the mightiest and best defense of Agrabah and you all want to protect your family. And like you all I also have a family to protect."

Random Soldier: "Stop talking nonsense. You don't have a family. Your father is dead and your so called lover has ran away somewhere."

General Hamid: "(in anger) You moron. How dare you talk like that to the Princess ? Believe me I will cut down that tongue of yours and feed it to you."

Princess Jasmine: "General don't be angry. He is not wrong. But my dear soldier I do have a family. And it's not a small family. It's a very big family. My family is my Agrabah. All the people of Agrabah are my family. And now that my family is facing one of the biggest threats of their existence, I can't turn a blind eye to them and remember in my family you all and all of your families are included. My dear soldiers this not the fight of our self esteem but rather this fight is for our existence. This fight against that monster is for our families. We have to kill that monster to protect our families, our children. My dear soldiers take your weapons and get ready to finish that monster."

"Now that's my precious Jasmine. Taking the lead. Now it's time to undo the effect."

These words belonged to a dark cloud that is hovering in the sky of the Agrabah which is now sucking a dark mist from the soldiers bodies which is not visible to the normal eyes.

This dark cloud is the very reason why the soldiers of Agrabah became selfish and demotived with no intention of fulfilling their duties.

But what is this dark cloud in reality which has controlled the minds and behaviors of the soldiers of Agrabah and what is it trying to do with Princess Jasmine ?

Random Soldier #1: "Just now what happened ? I am feeling my head being heavy."

Random Soldier #2: "Yeah. I am also feeling my head being heavy."

All soldiers felt a heavy load on their head that was being lifted up and at that moment Princess Jasmine draw her sword out of the scabbard and pointing towards the sky she said, "My dear soldiers our enemy is waiting for us at our door. Stand with me and let's finish that monster."

All Soldiers: "Aaahhh... we are with you Princess."

All the soldiers soon regained their composure and warrior spirit and holding their own weapons towards the sky all the soldiers became ready to finish of the monster.

Their eyes burning with the strong determination of protecting Agrabah as they all became ready to stand with Princess Jasmine and seeing this both Counselor Amir and General Hamid became very happy but more than all of them the dark cloud was happy as a smirk like shape appeared on the dark cloud.
