**Agrabah** is a desert world that is based on Disney's 1992 animated movie *Aladdin* and its sequels and series.

## Story

### Kingdom Hearts: Heart of the Key bearer (A Whole New World)

As Akira, Skye and Harlynn enter, they take notice of their Arabian outfits while Jafar and Maleficent discuss the location of the Keyhole and where Princess Jasmine is. Akira and friends learn that Jafar desires a lamp, wherein Agrabah's Keyhole lies, from the Cave of Wonders, but cannot enter because the cave will only allow a "diamond in the rough" to enter. The trio soon meet up with Princess Jasmine, who has snuck out of the palace in a street mouse disguise, and Aladdin, who saved her from a merchant who almost cut her hand off. Aladdin and Jasmine visit the former's house and discuss plans for the future, which his monkey Abu protests, before entering the Aristocratic Quarter with their new friends. Not long after they cnter the Aristocratic Quarter, Razoul and the guards capture them under orders from Jafar, which Jasmine tries to stop by order of the Princess. Despite her best efforts, the trio and their new ally are thrown into the deepest cell of the dungeon, but are freed by an old man who offers them a deal: their freedom for the lamp. Glad to escape, our heroes do not suspect the old man is actually Jafar in disguise!

As our heroes enter the Cave of Wonders, they meet a flying carpet who guides them to the lamp, which Aladdin obtains. However, the cave begins to collapse after Abu touches a ruby held by an idol, and the crew escapes and gives the lamp to Jafar, but he tricks them and seals them into the cave! Fortunately, Abu cleverly stole the lamp from Jafar. Aladdin rubs it and poof! A genie appears, and helps them escape from the cave after the song *Friend Like Me* is sung.

Once the gang reaches the Palace Gates, Aladdin uses his first wish: to become a prince so he can see Jasmine. Genie thus transforms him into Prince Ali Ababwa, introducing the town to him via song and a parade. Once inside the palace, Akira, Skye, Harlynn and Aladdin rejoin Jasmine, who is pleased to meet a prince and sees that her three Keyblade wielding friends from earlier are here to protect her. She also informs the trio (in the Gardens) that she is one of the Princesses of Heart (which was mentioned by Caitlin Sparkle previously), and must be protected from Jafar. She speaks too soon, however, as Jafar confronts the crew at the Balcony. Aladdin uses his second wish for Genie to protect Jasmine, but Iago steals the lamp and gives it to Jafar, who declares that *he* will be the one to marry her. Using his first wish, Jafar transforms into the most powerful sorcerer in all of Agrabah, and sings a song while sending our heroes to a place where they fight the Pot Centipede.

Once the Heartless is dealt with, Aladdin and the trio fly back to the Palace to save Jasmine and the Keyhole. As they climb to the Throne Room, they take care of the Heartless, then fight Jafar in the room itself, whereupon they trick the latter into using his second wish after the fight with his human form. However, the demented sorcerer transforms himself into a giant cobra after Aladdin calls him a cowardly snake, and they fight him again. Despite defeating him, he still tries to crush Aladdin and Akira with his coils, giving the latter an idea. The two trick Jafar into using his final wish to become a genie, sealing him and Iago into the lamp, as well as the Keyhole.

After the confrontation with Jafar and sealing the Keyhole, Aladdin apologizes to Jasmine for lying to her, and she understands because of the stupid law. As Genie suggests he make his last wish to become a prince, Aladdin instead wishes for his freedom. This makes Genie ecstatic, as he is now free to go where he wishes (and Skye identifies that Aladdin wanted to show Jasmine the real him) and gives the trio a Lamp Heartbinder to Summon him anytime they wish. The Sultan then changes the rule to become "the princess may marry whomever she deems worthy," and she naturally chooses Aladdin. The latter gives them a Keychain from his collection, the Three Wishes, as they leave singing *A Whole New World.*

During the credits, Aladdin and Jasmine enjoy the view of the desert from the balcony with Abu, Carpet, the Sultan and Genie, while Razoul smiles in awe at their love. Meanwhile, Jafar's lamp shakes inside the Cave of Wonders, indicating he is not dead yet.
