03x07 - The Shadow Knows

[bunniefuu]

Rise, my children. It is time to

go back. For now, your rest

is complete. But as always,

I shall be waiting for you to return to

the Shadow World tonight.

Ohh

Faraboo, the caretaker. I've heard

so much about you.

Who-- who are you?I am a

ghoul's the name, and capturing

spirits is my game. But

thanks to a rotten street rat, I've been

banished from the earth for all

eternity. It's obvious you're

not alive, yet somehow your

shadow is. Ah Alas,

when I left the land of the living, so

did my poor, withered shadow.

But with the help of a powerful spell I

obtained from the late, great wizard

Kufu, I gave it new life. Ohh

He was my ticket here. Isn't he perfect?

I'm a real chip off the old block.

What do you want here?Your

world is just the first step on the path

of all shadows. You see, because of

the banishing spell I'm under, I can't

go to the land of the living. But

my living shadow can.

Brilliant solution to my problem,

wouldn't you agree?Have fun, my

pet. Go forth and capture Aladdin's

shadow and his friend's shadows too.

With pleasure, master.

But if my children do not return to the

living beings they belong to within a

day's time, they will fade away.

and all will perish.

Precisely. Then their

spirits will be mine, in the

Netherworld.

No, I shall never let your shadow

pass.

Say goodnight, lady.

Let me go! Release me at once!

There's simply no time for that,

Wearable. I've got to make room in the

netherworld for

Aladdin.

Al, did we have to get up this early?

If I don't get a full night's sleep, I'm

crouchy all day.

Come on, guys. Sahib is getting in a new

shipment of spices today, and I want to

make sure I get some for Jasmine's

breakfast. How sweet.

Why can't she just have a bowl of bran

flakes like everyone else?Don't

fight it, fool. You don't stand a

chance.

Yes, I feel much better now.

I knew you would. My spell has made

More than just a mere shadow. You're

carrying a part of me now. Now

help me get more shadows. I'll take the

east, you take the west. It's as

good as done.

What are you?Something very close to your

heart. Aladdin?

Stay back, you monster. What's going on

in here?

Fools, I don't have time for this.

Gotcha. Oh, yeah?

What?

I'll get you later. What is

this all about, Princess?I don't know,

but I hope Aladdin does.

Ah, you'll be very happy with these new

spices, Aladdin. They are truly

one-of-a-kind. Good, Good because I want

to surprise Jasmine. You already did.

Jasmine?What are you talking about?Your

shadow attacked me this morning. My

shadow?You must have had a bad dream.

Yeah, you probably ate too many chocolate

falafel sundaes before bed last night.

Did someone say falafel sundaes?Oh,

that's my favorite. All those strawberry

hummus shakes come in a close second.

Genie, Jasmine thinks my shadow is

alive and dangerous.

HmmSounds like a dark shadow complex.

Your brain is going to need a heavy steam

cleaning twice a day. My brain is

fine, Genie. It's Aladdin's shadow that

needs fixing. Jasmine, it's just a

shadow. Nothing more, nothing less.

Less is right. It's gone!

What?Could you lose your shadow?

It's a lot easier than you think.

Jasmine! Stand still! You're just making

it harder on yourself. You were right,

Jasmine. It's alive. And there's nothing

you can do about it.

Get back here!

This doesn't make any sense. Something

weird happened to my shadow, but what?

Hurry! I think it went this way.

Hey! Hands off! That tickles!

Hey! Get those off me! Help!

Help A monster attacked me! It must be

your shadow, Aladdin. Let's get him.

Come and get me. Okay, Shadow

Man, the gloves are off.

Let me introduce you to a brand new item

in cleaning up, the Suckabattic 3000.

This baby's guaranteed to pull the fuzz

off a peach in two seconds flat.

Interested?Uh, God,

no! Sorry, but I can't

take no for an answer.

Here's your shadow, Al. Signed, sealed

and delivered. Thanks, Genie. Maybe now I

can get some answers. Let me out of

here! Fun's over, Shadow. You belong to

me. Not for long.

I am a ghoul?Is that you?Let's

just say I'm a shadow

of my former self. A

point of order, please. Isn't old dead

spread still banished from ever coming

back here?Yes, he is, but a ghoul

isn't ready to lie down and die. Oh,

my. What am I saying?He's already

dead. But that's

precisely why my master gave me

life, to do his evil bidding

for him. So you're the one who put a

spell in my shadow. Well, if a

ghoul can get your spirit, why not

go for the next best thing?

Uh ohAccording to the Genie's Almanac,

the shadows of all living beings must go

to the Shadow World every night to rest.

If your shadow is unattached to you for

more than a day, it'll fade away.

And so will you. I don't have much

time. You'll have lots of time on your

hands, Aladdin, in the Netherworld!

oh You're really beginning to get on

my nerves, man. Relax, Blue

Boy. Aladdin won't be alone.

I'm planning to take all of your shadows

through! Then we'll all perish!

Sad but true. Soon, you'll be

calling the netherworld home.

You're pathetic, just like your other

half. Really?Well,

let's see how your other half feels

about that.

No!

Yes, I feel so alive

now. Hey,

give me that! It's great to be

back. You're not going anywhere. Oh,

yes, we are.

Let's go, carpet. Aladdin,

I'm not through with your friends yet.

Well, we're through with you. That's what

you think. Ow! Do we have

to hang around here?We're gonna end up

extra crispy in about a minute!

Don't worry, guys. I'll take care of this

goon.

Blast you. Come on, Genie, we're losing

time.

You're mine. Not anymore.

Gotcha.

Foul! There's a two-shot penalty for that

pal.

Give it up,never. Look

out!

You guys did it! You stumped your

shadows! Fools! You really

think you could win?

Let's go.

Oh, man, I hate falling to pieces. Ginny,

I don't think you'll be needing this

anymore. I

feel naked!

So tell me, how do you feel?

Semi-phenomenal, nearly cosmic,

and totally evil. Uh,

maybe this is a good time to clean out

that tire cage.

Let them go, monster. You

can't help them. They've practically got

one foot in the grave already.

This is the life, right,

Shadow Monkey Boy?

Listen up, buster. Who do you think you

are?You're nothing without me. Nothing.

Uh, buzz off. I'm as tough as you are,

bud. Maybe even more so. Move

it, kiddies. We got a lot more shadows

to collect before the day is over.

Wonderful. Now we're all in the

same boat! But it's sinking

fast!

Uh, am I missing something here?We're

about to take a permanent residence in

the Netherworld. And Genie

straightened out his soft straw!

Got it!

Students, today's topic is me and

my shadow. Every night, your shadow and

mine rest in the peaceful shadow world,

which is guarded by Faraboo, the

caretaker. Since the beginning of time,

this stately woman has ensured the safety

of all shadows, and she will do so

forever. That's it!

Genie, we've got to go to the shadow

world. Maybe Faraboo can help us. If a

ghoul's around, he could be more

dangerous than ever.

There's no way the Took of Decay's gonna

sneak up on us. I've got eyes in the back

of my head. Just be careful, Aladdin.

How far is the Shadow World, Genie?Let's

see. Three gazillion miles past Big

Dipper, turn left at the Big Bang black

hole, then it's just a hop, skip, and a

jump away. But that'll take forever. Good

point. Let's take a shortcut.

Doesn't look like anyone's home. Unless

you call that spiderweb a place to hang

your turban. Go away, ghouls. Go back

to the netherworld. No, No you got it all

wrong, Faraboo. We're not with a ghoul,

but our shadows are. They were stolen by

us. See?Nothing. Nada.

Zippo. Then a ghoul's plan is

working.

Getting Faraboo out of here isn't gonna

be easy, Al.

Not even my semi-phenomenal powers can

break a ghoul spell. Is there anything

you can do to help us, Faraboo?As long as

I am trapped here, I am powerless.

By tomorrow, you and your shadows will

perish. If a ghoul continues to

capture more shadows, my world and

your world will eventually fade away, and

only the netherworld will remain.

Don't worry, Faraboo. We're not gonna let

that happen. You don't really have

any say in the matter, street rat. A

ghoul in the flesh. So to

speed.

I'm so glad to see you boys

again. I can't wait to catch up on old

time.

Although we'll have all of eternity to do

that!

This is so much fun. And it'll get even

better once I've taken your spirits.

That's it!Enough's enough!

It's never enough for me, Genie. I

love excess. Stand back,

Al. This could get ugly. Uh,

Genie, I don't think that's such a great

idea.

It's the right one!

Steer like two!

No!

Strike three. I'm out.

Way out.

Come on, Genie, we gotta get moving. But

this isn't even the seventh inning

stretch. You'll

not be very painfully.

Please don't make me look all over for

you.

Oh, but that's okay. I'm sure

we'll meet again. In the

netherworld.

Come on, guys. Let's get

basalted. No, stay away

from my father. Sorry, Princess. We

want all of Aladdin's friends to enjoy

the pleasures of a netherworld. And

there's nothing you can do about it. Oh,

yeah?We can do plenty.

Oh, yes, I could do this

all day long.

Sorry to spoil your fun, old man,

but playtime is over.

Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit.

Jasmine?I'm right here, Father.

B-b-b-but how can this be?It's

simple. I'm free. And you're not.

You beast!

Long live the Sultan Shadow.

Friends, we're through here.

I am a ghoul awaits us.

This is all I am a ghoul's fault. We

tried our best, but we

lost. For now, maybe.

That's why we've got to find Aladdin and

Genie in the Shadow World. Be

careful, Jasmine. I've

waited all my life for this moment,

and all my afterlife, too.

No! This cannot be! If you go

back to the Land of the Living every day,

you could capture the shadows of everyone

in the world, and then all their spirits

will be mine. You haven't won yet, a

ghoul. What?

Take care of these intruders.

Isn't this wonderful?No one can

stop me from spreading my joy ever

again. Oh, uh,

Ghoul! Oh, Duke of Dumbness!

Did you really think we were gonna fade

away?I was wondering where you

weaklings were!

Is that the best you can do, Ghoul?I know

a camel who can aim better. With his

eyes closed! Why, you little...

It worked, Genie! Thank you for freeing

me, a ghoul. I've been

tricked! Now your shadow is mine, a

ghoul. No! I

need my shadows!

Touchdown! Oh,

not again! Now that your shadow is no

longer alive, a ghoul, you must go back

to your netherworld.

Nooooooooo! Ha! That's much better.

Yes!

Wonderful. They've succeeded. Welcome

back, Shadow. I'm never leaving home

without you again. You can rest easy,

Aladdin. Now that a ghoul is gone, we

can all get a good night's sleep.

That's good to hear, because this day has

been just one long

nightmare.
