One Wrong Turn Turned Right

Chapter 10: Bad is an Understatement
"My Lord," a green alien said in a gruff voice. "I have detected your enemy's ship. It seems to be severely damaged, and it has limited defensive capabilities. It also looks as if there is currently no one aboard. Shall I take it out, Lord Drackenor?"
"No," the green alien commander said, with spikes protruding from his shoulders and elbows. "Let them discover that I too am looking for the Stones of power on their own. How are we doing in getting through all the darkness?"
"Very well, my lord," the green captain said. "I am curious to know how you plan to use your dominion to destroy the ship of the ancients if you are going to make that ship return to 'factory settings,' if you will"
"All in good time, my colleague," Drackenor said, an evil smirk on his face as he began to leave Agrabah. "All in good time. Plot a course for the dark world!"
The ship, which looked like a cross of one of those Klingon Birds of Prey, and the BC-304's from Stargate (both of which I also do not own), decloaked and went through a hyperspace window, headed for the same world that both Char and Wendy escaped from. TheBellerophon saw this and immediately told the crew.
"Crap!" Blaster exclaimed. "Drackenor is back!"
"Crap!" Char repeated. "How did he get here? We got here by accident!"
"Maybe we accidentally brought him along," Cody exclaimed. "I will need to check out his ship in order to get an accurate reading."
"I'm sorry, but that is impossible," the Bellerophon replied. "The ship jumped to hyperspace and is headed into the darkness."
"Drackenor!" Blaster exclaimed again. "Dang, thought I killed him!"
"Lemmie guess," Sora said as they made their way back into the dessert. "Drackenor is a pretty bad adversary?"
"Sora," Blaster said, pausing for a second before adding, "for him, bad…is an understatement!"
"So, worst nightmare?" Sora asked.
"Now, you're pushing it," Blaster replied.
"Bellerophon, were you able to detect any anomalous readings while we were traveling between universes?" Cody asked as they arrived at the spot where the Cave of Wonders would reveal it's entrance.
"I'll look into that now!" the ship replied.
"So, where were we?" Blaster asked as they approached where they thought the giant head of the tiger would emerge from the sand, revealing the opening to the Cave of Wonders. When the sandy tiger head appeared, however…
"This could get interesting," Blaster exclaimed, looking into the eyes of the tiger.
"Define interesting," Char said not noticing.
"OH MY GOD, WE ARE GONNA DIE!!" Cody shouted, narrowly avoiding the teeth of the monstrosity. Its eyes were normally a bright yellow, but it seemed that the heartless had taken control of it; its eyes had changed to a deep, glowing purple. In addition to the heartless controlled sand "monster," several other heartless appeared. Blaster had his keyblade out faster than anyone else did. Sora summoned his seconds afterwards and the rest followed suit, Donald withdrawing his Staff, Goofy withdrawing his shield, and everyone else brandishing their swords/keyblades.
"Let's get this party started!" Blaster said, while smiling. It had become obvious that Blaster would make odd remarks just before fighting.
"Maleficent," Captain Hook said, walking into the room. "You have a guest!"
Maleficent turned around, as she was facing the window, to watch her heartless escorting a green, spike-shouldered alien. Drackenor surveyed the room, but then spotted Maleficent, who seemed to be quite upset.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my…" Maleficent began, looking at Hook, who coughed angrily. "…I mean, our, dominion?"
"Just wanted to see what was in town!" Drackenor said, beginning to smile.
"Well, you have come to the right place…to become a heartless!" Maleficent said, beginning to shroud herself in black and green flames.
"Ah," Drackenor said, looking at his escort of Shadows. "So, these are the heartless. Never knew you were the ones behind these little guys. Mind you, some of them do seem to be a bit defenseless."
"What are you suggesting?" Maleficent demanded, beginning to let her flaming shroud to diminish.
"I am suggesting that you let me join you," Drackenor said. Maleficent began to look at Drackenor with that evil look. "I am suggesting that, if we were a team, we could get rid of all of those Keyblade masters, and take over every world. Besides, I have a score to settle with Captain Blastbone Clarkson. What do you say?"
"I say we have a deal," Maleficent said. "Riku!"
"What?" the boy asked, walking into the room.
"Please take Mister…" Maleficent began, turning to Drackenor.
"Drackenor," the alien finally said. "LORD Drackenor."
"My apologies," Maleficent said. "Please take Lord Drackenor to our VIP suite!"
"Gladly," Riku said, escorting the alien out of the room.
"Finally, someone who is working for the same cause," Drackenor muttered, making sure that no one heard a word he said. "But that...was way too easy"
"I'm just guessing here," Cody said, "but I thought you just said that Jasmine is one of seven or nine Princesses of Heart that hold the key to opening 'the door'. Which is it, seven or nine?"
"We are still uncertain, but you will not survive this trial to find out," Jafar sneered. "Genie, attack them!"
The blue magic trickster emerged from the gold lamp that held him prisoner. Genie began to attack, stating he was sorry before he launched onto the field. Everyone's main target, however, was Jafar. Before we get too far, let's head back to see what happened. Sora blew the heartless away and destroyed the telepathic control that caused the great sand tiger to become so fearless. Blaster fell almost 60 feet into a water cave deep below the main alleyway and was killed after landing on the rocks below, but returned later to fight off some powerful heartless. It was hard to tell his crew and his new friends that he, somehow, was unable to die or remain dead, revealing a secret that had been kept for over 7 years, which was about the time that Blaster met his friends.
When the crew got to the Lamp room, Jafar had already knocked Jasmine unconscious, and had the Genie reveal the Keyhole, which is…oh no…they finished the battle while I went back in time, Jafar fell into a pit with a platform surrounded by magma, Sora, sealed the keyhole, and Jafar turned into a Genie…and now he's inside his black lamp, ready to serve whoever holds the lamp next. Talk about a quick battle
It is at this point were we continue our story.
Sora and co. ended up riding on "Carpet" to escape, but Jasmine had disappeared before the ground started shaking and Blaster saying in a hurried voice, "time to go!" The whole group began their escape, with Blaster using a personal shield to deflect the small debris that would have knocked anyone off the carpet. Sora had the "helm" for the most part, making sure that all the big pieces of debris were avoided. Near the end, it was getting really dangerous, but Sora managed to thread the needle seconds before the only gateway out of the cave closed.
"Now THAT," Wendy said, breathing heavily, "was close!"
"Barely had time to get this!" Cody exclaimed. In his hand, he held a third Crux stone.
"Score one for the team!" Blaster said, looking around for Char. "Hey, did you guys see Char?"
"Last I saw, she was with Jasmine!" Goofy said.
"Oh great," Blaster said, realizing that, once again, he was separated from a friend.
"Don't worry," Donald said. "We'll find her again."
Blaster was getting furious because he knew who was behind all of this.
"Mark my words!" Blaster said angrily. "This is Drackenor's fault, and I am NOT gonna let him just walk away without a fight. If Drackenor wants to take my friends, he crossed the line! He WILL pay!" Blaster's eyes began to glow a deep red as the ground around him shaked and cracked. "Char, I'm comin for you. The same thing goes for Drackenor!"
Was Drackenor behind this? What will happen to Char and Jasmine? And how is Sora and co gonna rescue them? Answers to this coming soon…probably as soon as I decide to write another chapter…which could be a week or more.
P.S. Lack of reviews this story Me going crazy...plz review...and no flames...leave that to Axel!
