When Aladdin and Morgiana finally reach the city of Balbadd, Aladdin is reunited with his friend, Alibaba, who he learns has become the leader of a band of outlaws.

Magomett, the leader of Magnoshutatt, learns that the Kou Empire plans to attack while the city is weak from fighting against Leam. In desperation, he uses the Magoi Reactor to create a terrifying blackness in the sky. The very essence of the world is now threatened, and Aladdin must summon his most powerful allies to try to stop it!

Aladdin has found Alibaba at last, but Alibaba has changed and perhaps for the worse. In the city of Balbadd, the Fog Troop, a gang of thieves, struggles against a corrupt government. The leader of the Fog Troop, Cassim, was Alibaba's childhood friend and has pressured him into becoming the figurehead of the gang. Aladdin and Morgiana hope to rescue him with the help of King Sinbad, but powerful forces stand against them, including another Magi.

"Having seized the Sacred Palace, Sinbad rewrites the world's Rukh and thus the world's fate. Alibaba, Aladdin and Morgiana decide that they must take matters into their own hands. With Hakuryu and Judar's help, they head for the Sacred Palace, where Sinbad awaits..."--Page [4] of cover.

"Now that the battle for Magnoshutatt is over, Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana return to Sindria. Familiar faces welcome them, as well as a few surprising characters! As a larger conflict with the Kou Empire looms, the various sides agree to a world summit. But before that, Alibaba returns to Balbadd to find that things in his homeland have changed drastically."--Back cover.

"Gyokuen, the current Empress of Kou, continues to drive much of the turmoil that has upset the balance of power among nations. Alibaba and Aladdin head for the Kou Empire to try to speak to Hakuryu, but their friend has undergone the Fall and is consumed by his thirst for revenge. What now will become of the Kou Empire, and of the world?"-- cover page 4.

The fight between Alibaba and Hakuryu has come to an end, but at a terrible cost to the former friends. Hakuryu has been crippled and Alibabas rukh have been removed to another dimension, leaving Alibaba an empty shell. Hakuryu gloats that what has happened can never be undone. Horrified, Aladdin turns to face his own nemesis, the Magi Judar, for a magic duel the likes of which the world has never seen!

"Aladdin's studies at the Magnoshutatt Academy are going well, and he continues to advance. Among the upper-ranked students is another young sorcerer whose power seems to rival Aladdin's. The two become friends and continue their climb up Magnoshutatt's caste system. But the dark secret they discover among the downtrodden people of the city takes them into even more danger" -- page 4 of cover.

With Balbadd in the midst of an upheaval and agents of the Kou Empire waiting to attack, Alibaba, Aladdin, and Sinbad form an alliance to take on the powerful enemies surrounding them.
