Disclaimer: I want to make this clear. I don't own anything from Disney or Aladdin, which this story is based on or any of its characters nor do I own of the characters from TOEI or characters from that either. Just the characters I created for this story.

In the middle of a desert, two men were riding on camels. One of them was tall, muscular and appeared to be his mid thirties. He had long black hair that went down to his waist. The man that was with him was half his height. Taichi had a mustache, he was said the be a con-artist.

Daisuke was a calculating man, he dreamed of bigger things. People would assume he would love his job. After all he was the high advisor to the King. He could nearly anything he possibly wanted. However, underneath his fake personality that everyone had come to see and not aware of was that he was an evil man. What was it he really wanted? To be the King of the Suna Kingdom. That way he had all the ultimate power. The problem was he couldn't find away to obtain it. Until he found out a legend about a lamp that can grant wishes. He wanted it! So he tolerated King Ryouta for the time being so he did as he wished. At least until he found a way to retrieve it. He believed today would final be the day or so he thought.

"Are you sure this is the spot?"

"Shut up, did you bring what I told you?"

"Yes, I had to slit some throats. A lot of people wanted it after all. It took me a while, a talk here and there but I got it." Taichi evilly smirked as he held up a half of a gold beetle medallion.
"Excellent! Give it to me!" Daisuke tells him.

Taichi moves his hand a way. As he shakes his finger at Daisuke. "Now, Now . . .we haven't discussed payment as we agreed. The treasure . . . I WANT IT!"

"You're greed and sneaky. I can respect that." Daisuke tells him. "All right, I will give you your money. Come here." Taichi comes in closer as Daisuke pushes him aside right into the sand.

"Good call Sir." Taichi weakly said while in the ground. This was a regular thing between them so he wasn't surprised.

"The second half of the gold beetle, excellent." Daisuke happily exclaims.

"Are you sure about this?" Taichi questioned.

"I never have been surer." Daisuke eagerly tells Taichi. He gives an evil grin as he takes his own half of the metal beetle out of his pocket. He put both of them together as it glowed.

"Quickly follow it!" Daisuke orders. Both of them jumped back on their camels. They had them speeded to a remote area in the desert. They stopped when they saw the gold beetle go into the ground. The sand glowed as if it were the ocean. As sand swirled around as if it were a storm. As slowly the face of some animal began to form. Taichi was trembling out of fear; he ended up holding onto Daisuke long coat. Daisuke too focused on what was happening to even notice. The sand formed into a lion's head.

"Well go!" Daisuke tells him as he pulled Taichi off. "The Cave of Miracles is right there for the taken. I will wait out here. And you can help yourself to anything you want. I just want the lamp. "

Taichi rubs his arms together. As he steps forward. Going at a distance length form the Lion. The eyes glow as it stares down at Taichi.

"Halt, who dares to enter my cave." The Lion's head yells.

"It is . . . I . . . Taichi." Taichi weakly tells the Lion's head.

"Only those chosen may enter. If you are considered worthy. You may enter but do not touch anything but the lamp." He tells Taichi as he leaves his mouth open. To let Taichi attempt to pass.

Taichi was scared as he looked back Daisuke. He was looking at Taichi waiting for him to enter with his arms crossed. Daisuke only could hope was someone that was chosen. Taichi took a deep breath, swallowing hard as he went close to the Lion's mouth. He slowly touched the stairs. It seemed safe, nothing went wrong. He sighed in relief as he started to walk down the stairs.

"You're not worthy." The Lion's mouth said as it slowly began to disintegrate around Taichi. It's face going back into the sand. Trapping him inside, never to come back out. The golden beetle that separated to form the eyes were all that was left in the sand.

"We'll Taichi was only a test." He takes out his staff as he uses his magic to grab the two magic golden beetles that have separated as it forced them into his hand. "I didn't except someone so cowardly to be able to enter anyway."

"Only ones chosen can enter the cave, so I guess I will have to find others to get the lamp for me." He smirked as he looked at his two golden beetle halves. "At least I have these now. I will have to keep testing until I find anyone that's worthy."

Author's Note: I hope you all like the prologue. I know it's not much but it sets off the plot. For example all of you know who my Jafar based villain is . . . I made him younger because I didn't like the fact Jafar was so old attempting to marry the princess to become Sultan in the film. It was disgusting. Am I right? I mean according to sources Jafar was sixty-five years old. Anyway as we all know he's going to take an interest in Yamato and Amu since their siblings in this story so are perfect 'chosen' pawns to get the lamp.

This is my own version; I will have twist here and there possibly to be different from the film. Like add a few things.

I know everyone is eager to have Yamato/Sera meet but we need to be patient.

Again if anyone has an ideas, please message me.

PLEASE READ/REVIEW! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS! THANKS!
