What if Aladdin was the real villain?

Chapter 1 by rickyvale23 rickyvale23

"Submit!" A whirlwind of sand surrounded them. Unstoppable street urchin, powerless Genie.

"A-Aladdin, why?" The Genie's voice dimmed with every passing moment, but his ephemeral face, fading though it was, cracked with the pain of Aladdin's cruel betrayal.

Cheeks streaked with tears, Aladdin clenched an ancient gem within his fist. "This is the only way to save Jasmine," he yelled, voice cracking with sadness.

He pressed the gem into the Genie's lamp. The spirit's blue vapor collapsed, dissipating outward as Aladdin consumed the spirit's power. The gem itself absorbed into the lamp, taking what should have been Aladdin's place inside it. So long as no one pulled the gem from the lamp, Aladdin was now his own master.

Power exceeding comprehension. Aladdin's blood felt like fire in his veins. For a moment, he thought his mortal body could not contain the Genie's power and he would be blown to pieces. He fell to his knees and screamed at the stars. Later generations would tell of the sound echoing across all Agrabah, ushering in an era of darkness.

Later, he awoke. His flesh hummed with brimming power. A smile showed inhuman teeth.


Princess Jasmine paced with worry in her bedroom. Aladdin had been gone for several days, ever since that dreadful sound. No letter, no message, nothing.

The entirety of her personal guard searched the streets of Agrabah looking for him. She already feared the worst.

And then, at the height of her panic, “Jasmine,” said Aladdin. “My love.”

Jasmine stiffened, then turned and threw her arms around him. “Where have you been?”

Aladdin’s smile eased the ache in her chest. “The desert.”

A closer look revealed sadness. “What’s wrong?” Jasmine asked.

Aladdin’s smile fell away. “Genie is gone.”

Jasmine searched his eyes, then pulled him close in a tight embrace. “How?” she spoke into his chest.

“I killed him.”

A camel must have kicked her, so completely had her breath escaped her lungs.

“Kneel,” Aladdin said.

Her body, acting without permission, fell to the floor.

What happens next?
