Chapter 29! Getting close folks! Just 19 chapters to go, I hope I can keep up with these ideas...

Sora: "Closer and closer... let's get this over with already


A few shadows passed the window. Here was the spot where Sid took the ship, and Kairi and Riku.

"How are we supposed to get inside?" I whispered in Buzz' direction.

He held up his hand to silence me, "There is a vent in the house's foundation, we'll take that through the ventilation ducts to Sid's room, we'll locate your friends and your ship from there."

I nodded and pointed, "Is that it?" I was pointing to a black square beside the front porch.

"Yes, I brought Andy's swiss army knife."

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"To open the vent."

I nodded and prepared to run to the vent.

Once we had cleared the yard began working on the vent, Terra and Ventus began to talk.

"What has happened since my body was taken?"

"Many things have transpired since your departure my friend... most of it I did not witness, I learned of it through Sora's Journal."

I turned to them and said, "We can catch up later when Terra has his body back."

Buzz paused for a moment, "What do you mean 'has his body back'?"

"The Terra you see right now is a reanimated suit of armor... we were on our way to Castle Oblivion to figure out where to start looking for said body, when an asteroid sent us crashing into this world... we need to repair the ship in order to leave."

"What kinds of materials do you need to make repairs?" He asked as he pulled the fourth and final screw from the wall.

"Gummi Blocks, they are the same material that comprises the borders of each individual world."

"How are you supposed to find them?"

"Simple, whenever a foreign presence enters a world, the border breaks down and Gummi Blocks are formed, their locations are hard to pinpoint, but they react strongly to the presence of the Keyblade."

Buzz hauled himself into the vent and helped Terra in, I followed with Ventus close behind.

We rounded a corner and heard a boy's voice, "Captain, we have recovered the wreckage of the ship, so far we are unable to ascertain the origins of the craft, further study is required."

I looked at Buzz and lifted my eyebrows, "What is he, some kind of scientist?"

Buzz shook his head, "No... he is playing pretend, not very well I might add."

We moved a little further down the duct until we passed a grate that afforded us a view into Sid's room.

The room was worse than a storage room, an abandoned bowl of froot loops sat on the kid's filthy desk. On his bed sat the half-destroyed remains of the Gummi Ship.

"He's dissecting it!" I watched in horror as he brought a knife down on the hull. Riku's design was perfect, Sid couldn't get any purchase on the hull.

"Thank God Riku remembered to add the heavyarms armor plaiting, that kit cost almost 6,000,000 munny."

Buzz looked at me, "Munny?"

"The currency we use back in my world." Buzz made an 'O' with his mouth and returned his gaze to Sid.

Sid grunted as he tried to cut through the hull, "What kind of plastic is this made of?"

Buzz motioned to a dust filter, "We can slip into his room through there."

He crawled over and pried back a corner, once it was opened wide enough he jumped in.

We watched as he landed on a pile of blankets next to the bed, he jumped up and ran to the edge of the bed. he lifted a panel on his wrist and pressed a button, a woman's voice sounded in the room, "Sid, I want you to take out the trash!"

Sid sat up and groaned, "Okay Mom, I'll be right there!" He walked out of the room throwing the Gummi Ship down on the bed.

I grinned and dove through the hole after him.

"How did you do that?"

He held up his wrist, "I recorded his mother asking him to take out the trash."

I smiled, "Genius, pure genius."

He bowed and pointed to the ship, "Shouldn't you be checking if your friends are okay?"

I nodded and ran to the ship.

It was laying on it's side and the entry ramp was open, "KAIRI! RIKU! ARE YOU GUYS IN THERE?"

I heard the sound of empty pots and pans clattering and Riku's head popped out of the hatch, "WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? SOME GIANT NABBED THE SHIP AND CARRIED US HERE! AND THAT'S NOT ALL, HE TRIED TO CUT THE SHIP IN HALF!"

I held up my hands in surrender, "Yeah, I know, I followed him here to rescue you."

"And how the hell are you going to do that?" He asked scowling.

"A native has volunteered to help, he led us to this kid's house."

"KID? THE GUY IS A FREAKING GIANT!"

"Whatever, look get Kairi out here, we need to go now, did Cid install the capsule device yet?"

Riku nodded, "Yeah, I'll activate it."

Kairi came running out a few moments later, "SORA!" She dove at me and strangled me in a hug.

"Easy Kairi, I came to get you."

Riku ran down the ramp and shouted, "Clear the blast zone!"

The ship flashed and disappeared in a cloud of smoke, when the could had cleared away a small silver orb lay where the ship had been.

I walked over and picked it up, "Handy!" I stated happily and popped it into my pocket.

Riku rolled his eyes and asked, "Where do we go now?"

I pointed at the window, "That's the only way out now, we came in through the ventilation system."

Riku looked up at the ceiling and grinned, "Too bad we don't have my mp3 player, I could play the theme from Mission Impossible!"

I rolled my eyes and jumped on the window sill and used Magnega to lift it open, Buzz complemented me on my use of magic and jumped out the window.

We followed Buzz back to the house and made our way to Andy's window.

"Woody, we got the ship and Sora's friends back."

Woody hauled himself onto the bed and welcomed us back to Andy's room, "So... where is this ship I've heard so much about?"

I pulled the orb out of my pocket and threw it onto the floor. There was a flash and an acrid odor filled the air, the Gummi Ship reappeared every bit as damaged as before.

"That is your ship?" Asked Woody, looking at the ship as if it were some sort of giant insect.

"Yep... as you can see the entire bow section has been critically damaged."

I turned to Riku and asked for the blueprints. I unrolled it and examined the nose of the ship, "It looks like we'll need four Gummi Blocks to fix it..."

Ventus glanced at the blueprint over my shoulder, "And just where do you think we'll find Gummi Blocks in this world?"

i closed my eyes and shook my head, "I don't know."


And there is Chapter 29, clean and clear!

Will Sora, Kairi, Riku, Ventus and Terra find the Gummi Blocks required to repair the ship? Will Terra ever reclaim his body? Will I ever stop asking you readers to answer stuff you don't have any clue to?

Anyway, until the next posting! (which should be soon)
