A/N: Happy Friday my lovely readers! We've made it to Chapter 10! Our journey together is almost over! :( Thank you to all of my new followers and people who have reviewed this story! It really does mean a lot to me! Are you ready for more? Then let's get started! Enjoy Chapter 10!

Disclaimer: I still don't own The Kingdom Keepers or Disney. No one will return my phone calls.

Previously: The Keepers made it to The Tower of Terror to rescue Finn only to be trapped by the Overtakers. Amanda used her Fairlie powers to buy them some time to escape to better ground. After freeing Finn, the Keepers and their Character army battled the OTs. Finn realized that his friends were in trouble and immediately jumped into the crossfire. Maleficent's and the Evil Queen's spells hit Finn instead, disrupting his DHI and rendering him unconscious. He falls to the pavement, not breathing...

Chapter 10: Home

The sudden silence that followed Finn's sacrifice was deafening. There were no celebrations from the Overtakers, no cries of sorrow from the Characters, not even screams of pain from the Keepers. Only silence.

Then, the Keepers found enough strength to break free of their captors and run to where their friend laid on the cold, hard pavement.

"FINN!"

"Come on, buddy, you got to get up!"

"Don't do this, Whitman! Not after everything we've been through!"

"We couldn't save him!"

"We failed!"

"It's over!"

Maybeck stood up ready to take his fury out on the people who had hurt his friend.

But the street in front of them was almost deserted. The OTs had fled. Only the Keepers and the Characters remained, the latter now forming a circle around their fallen comrade.

"How are we going to explain this to his mother?" cried Willa.

"We'll tell her the truth: Finn gave his life to save ours. He died a hero." Philby answered.

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" a quiet voice asked.

The Keepers looked up to see who had spoken. Rapunzel, the princess from Tangled , had stepped forward in the inner circle of the DHIs.

"Please, Rapunzel," pleaded Amanda, "Can you save him like you healed Flynn?"

"I can try," replied the princess, already placing her long golden hair across Finn's chest. "Stand back, please. I need some room."

The large group did as she asked, silently praying that their leader would pull through. Rapunzel closed her eyes and her hair started to glow as she sang:

Flower gleam and glow,

Let your power shine,

Make the clock reverse,

Bring back what once was mine,

What once was mine!

As she finished, her hair stopped glowing. Everyone watched with baited breath.

At first, nothing happened. Every person in the group hung their heads sadly, tears falling once again down each face.

"Wh-Why are you all crying for? Did we lose the battle?"

Finn was grinning up them, alive and well, as if he had just been taking a nap.

"FINN!"

"You're alive!"

"Sorry to disappoint you guys!" he said. "Where did the OTs go?"

"They fled when you jumped into the crossfire," explained Jess, "I guess they thought you were dead and didn't see the point in sticking around."

"Speaking of sticking around," Philby pointed out, "It's after midnight. We've succeeded in our mission, so we better Return. Finn, Wayne is waiting for you at the front entrance to the park. He will take you home."

"We will make sure you get to the meeting point safely, my young friend," one of the Jedi volunteered with a bow, "We owe you everything for what you and friends do for the parks."

"Thank you," Finn replied.

After exchanging their many goodbyes, the Keepers left their new friends and walked back down Sunset Boulevard, towards The Great Movie Ride. Once outside the attraction, the six DHIs stood in a straight line facing their friend.

"Thank you all for what you have done. I couldn't have asked for a better team." Finn said with pride in his voice.

"Thank you, Finn: for believing in us." Philby smiled, "See you soon."

And with one final look at his fellow DHIs, Philby took the Return out of his pocket and pressed the button…

Mrs. Whitman hadn't slept in what seemed like days. She was too worried about her son and wondering if the other Keepers had managed to save him. It was a good thing her husband was on a business trip and her daughter was at a slumber party. She would rather not bring the two of them into the situation at hand.

She had just started drifting off into sleep on the sofa when the doorbell rang. All thoughts of rest forgotten, she jumped to her feet and ran to the front door, nearly pulling it off the hinges as she did so.

When she saw the young boy on the doorstep, she burst into tears. Her son was alive, and although he looked hungry and tired, he appeared to be unhurt.

"Hi, Mom."

Mrs. Whitman pulled him into a bone-crushing hug, and brought him inside the house. She made him his favorite meal and sat down at the table to listen as he told his story.

He was home. And she couldn't be happier.

A/N: Yay! Finn is finally home safe and sound! What did you think of the chapter? Only the epilogue left to do, everyone! Thank you to everyone who continues to come on the adventure with me! You know what to do: please review and PM! See you real soon, my AMAZING readers!
