== Summary ==
At Baghdad Bakaar witnessed a formidable war machine in the size of an elephant a demonstration began when it shot cannonballs out of it’s tusk he then demanded to see more and the Brass Beast rammed into two pillars collapsing them down he congratulated Vangore on this ultimate weapon which will grant him invincibility and give him a chance to plunder and loot all of Arabia the black sultan then commanded Vangore to take it to Jiwara to let it be in ruins as he laughs in triumph but near him a statue of a horsemen then started to gleam until it was revealed to be Fariik and Zazuum and since Jiwara is an ancestral home of Prince Turhan he wouldn’t allow this so he used his magic on Zazuum’s ears to turn them into wings he then said a magic word “Auro Kobar” and turned himself into an arrow to go faster to the Caves of Doom. 
After he changed back and made it in he shared to them the news so Bez said the transformation phrase “Size of an Elephant” and turned into to handle the gigantic weapon but Fariik said “the brass beast will gobble you in one bite” so he made himself bigger but de-transformed back into human form when it still wasn't big enough for him to handle to get there the great beast has to cross the Valley of Lazara to reach which gives the Arabian Knights an opportunity to ambush it there when Princess Nida ask where Zazuum is they forgot they left him outside they then head to Jiwara. 
In the valley they noticed the size of it and were worried it could destroy a city but Raseem decided to give it a little surprise and threw a boulder at it but failed and it shattered into tiny pebbles so Vangore gifted them by firing cannonballs at them so the magician said another magic word “Rosan Flora” and turned the rocks into flowers for generosity, the Knights had to think of a new strategy until they heard the sound of rushing water and found an underground river so Raseem tried to punch the rocks to give the brass beast a little flood but Fariik said another magic word “Rosan Kobar” and turned himself into a pickaxe for handy ease he then changed back and witness the amount of the river is so much it might flood a whole army but the war machine swallowed it all and sprayed it back at them so Fariik again said another magic word “Rosan Kobar” and granted them a big umbrella with no more ideas the great machine nears Jiwara until the prince came up with a plan since it’s invincible on the outside they’ll attack it in the inside. Nida, Fariik and Zazuum went one direction to provide them a distraction while he, Bez and Raseem do the rest.
Instead Fariik tends to create several distractions and he started by again saying another magic word “Rosan Kobar” and created a mirage of Jiwara the princess then disguised herself as a travelling peddler he then said another magic word “Alim Pompay” and turned himself into wares to be strap to the donkey. When Vangore told a disguised Nida to move she instead offered him pots or pans but he refused the offer so when he tried to move them aside to crumple the mirage city his weapon pulled Zazuum’s tail and he spun around to demolish it which grant them enough time for Turhan and the others to infiltrate the brass beast Vangore having had enough pulled a switch on his war machine and swatted Zazuum away inside the machine they found an ingenious but cruel reason it’s being operated by slaves Raseem opened the door to give the weapon indigestion and freed the slaves the strongman then used his strength to provide power with the beast’s help by saying another transformation phrase “Size of a Gorilla” while Turhan went to find Vangore with the plan now working he believes his beautiful beast went mad while Fariik saw Turhan in one of the brass beast’s eye he then said another magic word “Rosan Brusek” and appeared a flute for him to temporarily become “The Pied Piper of Pachyderms” Vangore still having lost control wonders what has gone wrong until Fariik leads them to the Cliffs of Robar Turhan and the others jumped off but still fearfully tried to regain control to turn it back but it was too late as they both plummeted down with a crash with a just end to the brass beast Bez then de-transformed back into human form and Nida asked what happened to Vangore and Turhan replied that he always manages to survive as he jumped just in time and is seen dangling on a tree branch as the captain starts to consider being a camel driver (like his father).
