Sinbad of the Seven Seas Page #2

- Shut up.

Let's do this.

You go that way, I'll go this way.

Alone?

- And I am not alone?

- Yes, but you are bigger.

When they came to the palace,

the handsome and brave young Prince Ali...

could no longer controI his heart.

Fearing that some awfuI fate

had come to his beloved Princess Alina...

he rushed up the stairs

and hoped that he was not too late.

Alina!

- Did they kiss?

- Not at first.

Why not?

They wanted to.

They had been apart for so very long.

But Alina was afraid.

She knew that Jaffar would stop at nothing

to get his way.

His power was so great that he had turned

her own father against her...

and imprisoned the mighty Sinbad.

She was afraid to trust her heart...

lest this may be some trick

of the eviI wizard.

But this was her Ali...

her own dear, sweet Ali.

Surely, even the fiendish powers of Jaffar

could not turn him against her.

Welcome, Prince. Guards!

- Alina!

- My love.

Take him away.

You won't get away with this.

You're beautiful when you're angry.

Follow!

Let go. No!

The sound of the princess's heart breaking

reached great Sinbad in his cell...

and he knew he must think

of a way to rescue her...

and her beloved Prince Ali.

I need your help. Come here.

Nervous, huh?

I know where you're coming from.

People hating you and all that.

As far as I'm concerned,

it all began with that story of Eve.

And when they want dirty work done...

they really take advantage of you...

like that evil, slimy wizard up there.

No one can resist my will...

and no one, not Prince Ali...

not even his friend, Sinbad...

a man who I hate more than hate itself...

will stand between me

and my heart's desire!

Look.

Fill it up again.

Hey, you.

Jaffar, Vizier of the Lord of the Faithful,

wants you all, at once, at the palace...

and as early as possible.

Can I stand you a drink? I'm buying.

- I said get moving. Come on. Move.

- No!

You see?

Where's the power you pretend to have?

Your evil will can never touch

Sinbad and Ali.

Even as the fair Princess Alina spoke...

the mighty Sinbad had discovered a way...

to enlist the aid of his friends, the snakes...

to help him escape his tomb-like dungeon.

They say you have a terrible temper.

I'd like to see them living in the dark...

crawling around all day.

Here, come here.

Be nice.

That a boy.

Sinbad's friends had fought bravely

against great odds...

but now they faced terrible punishment

in Jaffar's torture chamber.

These prisoners are very dear

to our lord Jaffar.

They need special treatment.

Very special treatment.

A pleasure, Capt. Rashid.

All right, take him.

Put him on the rack, now.

Be sure to make him comfortable.

He'll be there for quite a stretch.

Put slant-eyes in the hot seat

and warm up the branding irons...

so we can toast his health.

The bald one will do nicely for the piranhas.

They don't like hair. It sticks in their teeth.

- Lift him up.

- But I have a beard.

Let me out of here.

Will Sinbad save them, Mommy?

You must be patient...

and wait and see what Sinbad

and his friends, the snakes, will do.

Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you.

What are you waiting for?

Lower him into the tank.

There's nothing my babies enjoy more

than Turkish delight.

Sinbad!

Come on.

Yes.

While Sinbad was rescuing his friends...

Poochi the dwarf decided

to look for Alina in the palace.

The wicked Jaffar, wizard of Basra...

used his eviI powers

to fashion a terrible machine...

that would weaken the fair Alina's will...

and allow him to controI her mind.

For Jaffar could never be content

to merely possess the beautifuI Alina...

princess of all that is good...

unless she would also give him her heart.

I intend to become master...

of Alina's mind and body.

Because only then...

will all five sacred gems simply melt away...

leaving me lord of the worid.

After searching the entire palace...

little Poochi discovered Jaffar's lair

in the highest tower...

and so only he knew

of the wizard's eviI plan...

to rob the princess of her goodness...

and controI the powerfuI magic

of the town's sacred gems...

for his own terrible purposes.

As long as Alina withstood

Jaffar's machine...

and held onto her goodness...

he could not destroy the gems.

Instead, he used his power...

to banish them from the town.

The wicked wizard of Basra

cast his spell on the gems...

that had brought peace, happiness,

and prosperity to the town...

for as long as time could remember.

Four of these he sent to the darkest,

most eviI places on Earth...

where even the powerfuI Sinbad...

might fear to go and retrieve them.

Little Poochi ran to find Sinbad...

and tell him everything he had seen/

how the sacred gems of Basra...

must be recovered within seven moons...

or all that is good and pure

about their beloved city, including Alina...

would be lost to the hideous eviI of Jaffar.

And so, Sinbad and his brave friends...

left the great city...

and set out once more

on a long and dangerous journey.

- But, Mommy, where are the sacred gems?

- Sinbad didn't know.

- But, Mommy-

- Now you must be patient, sweetie.

Sinbad had heard of a great oracle...

who lived in a faraway land

across many seas.

What's an oracle?

A wise man who knows many things.

It was there that Sinbad sailed...

in hopes of discovering

where Jaffar had hidden the sacred gems.

When Jaffar learned

that Sinbad had escaped his dungeon...

and set saiI with his men

to find the sacred gems of Basra...

he called forth the black source

of his eviI strength...

and prayed to the Lord of the Underworld.

lllustrious Prince of Darkness,

do not forsake me.

Grant me the power to crush him forever.

And a terrible cloud covered the sun...

and blackened the skies

over Sinbad's ship...

turning the day into night.

And out of that awfuI darkness...

rose up the legions of Death.

The brave crew of the mighty Sinbad

prepared to battle for their very souls.

Now, disappear.

Go back where you came from...

you evil, filthy spirit.

Dinner's ready.

What's with you guys?

You look like a bunch of weirdoes.

- You missed one hell of a party.

- Darn!

But thank God for that.

Well?

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

They sailed for many more days...

coming finally to a land where

the great and wise oracle appeared to them.

One sacred gem will be found

on the Island of the Warrior Women...

worn around the neck

of the enchanted Amazon Queen...

whose charm no man can resist.

Two more are on the Isle of the Dead.

One is hidden inside

the ungodly form of the ghost king...

and the other is guarded

by a horrible and foul beast.

To find the fourth sacred gem of Basra...

follow the first swallow that you see...

and it will lead you

to a place of great peril...

where you must begin

your quest alone, Sinbad.

Sinbad had to swim many leagues...

to the rocky shore

where no ship could land.

The strange and barren place

described by the oracle was Skull Island.
