Chapter 29: The End of the World.

With only the Pegasus, a large, turtle-shaped transport ship, Blaster joined with Sora to visit the last world, which was appropriately named The End of the World. Blaster had beamed down as Sora, Donald and Goofy had entered through a hole in one of the blue spires. Surrounding the spire was what looked like water, littered with blue islands, ranging from just big enough for one person to stand on, to about 5-10 times that, and smaller spires.

"WOAH!" Blaster said.

"Where are the others?" Sora asked.

"They went home."

"Gawrsh," Goofy said, still staring out at the sight in front of them. "Is that all that's left of the worlds taken by the Heartless?"

"I wouldn't doubt it," Blaster replied.

"Those worlds will be restored if we beat Ansem, right?" Sora asked.

"You betcha!" Donald exclaimed.

"But," Sora began.

"There's always an overhanging 'but,'" Blaster muttered.

"If we do beat him, and all these worlds become restored and disconnected," Sora pondered, "what's going to happen to this place? And to us?"

"Well, uh…" Donald said, unable to figure out what to say.

"This is a Heartless world, so maybe it'll just disappear," Goofy said.

"That still doesn't answer the question of what's going to happen to us," Blaster commented.

"What?" Sora and Donald exclaimed.

"No worries though," Goofy said. "Even if this place goes poof, our hearts ain't goin' nowhere. I'm sure we'll find our pals again! Yep, I just know that we will."

Donald agreed, and Blaster just nodded, keeping any wise remarks to himself.

"Yeah, you're right," Sora said, pulling out the charm Kairi gave him. He looked it over and muttered, "I'll return this. I promise."

"So, are we going or what?" Blaster said.

"We don't know if the water is even safe to swim through," Sora said, putting back the lucky charm (Oathkeeper Keychain).

"One way to find out," Blaster said, stepping out. The water didn't seem to be water at all, but some other form of substance that was not a liquid, but rather a solid, much like glass. After testing the strength by turning into his mutant form for a few seconds, he waved to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, saying, "We're good!"

The group ran across the "water" encountering Heartless here and there. Blaster's full powers were available to him, leaving him with the ability to contort the land into shields if necessary. Also, with his full powers unleashed, he was able to take any hit and start healing over quickly, but that would rarely happen, so Blaster didn't need this special ability. He had the ability to heal before he obtained the Crux stones, but he hid it from his friends, because he had an advantage over them. Blaster could survive almost anything, but he thought it wouldn't work when he was hit in Neverland by that stray Fireball, which is why he used healing magic on himself from then on. Now, however, he was able to heal a good sized wound from an Invisible, he realized his powers had fully returned, but continued to hide it from the rest of the group.

Sora and Co. were making good progress, destroying wave after wave of heartless as they approached a sphere of light. Inside was another Behemoth. Learning from last time, Blaster, Sora, and Donald each summoned a large fireball, which caused the Heartless to topple over in two seconds without so much as batting an eyelash. The next area was full of Gummi Blocks, which would have made Cid proud. Sora picked up as much as he could, then entered the next area, which had several purple colored light shafts.

Behind each column of light was a world that they previously visited. Blaster yawned before he touched a light column, and ended up with water in his lungs as he returned to Atlantica for a short time. After returning, he comically spewed water out of his mouth like a fountain.

"Note to self, don't yawn before entering Atlantica," Blaster said as he re-entered Neverland.

In every world, Sora, Blaster, Donald, and Goofy battled hordes of Heartless. After retrieving certain items from each world, a giant vortex appeared in yet another crater.

"Man, these craters are giving me a crater-sized headache," Blaster muttered.

"Well, are we going in or not?" Sora asked, jumping in seconds later. He had just previously entered a red vortex and examined a machine, turning it on to open the vortex.

"Well," Blaster said, looking to Donald and Goofy, "Going down."

Blaster jumped in and soon found he was flying, much like he was in Neverland. Donald and Goofy were not far behind, floating down to where Sora was. The darkness was just enough so that they could barely make out some strange formation, much like a creature on a mountain. That prediction came true when the creature began to move, as if Sora and Co. had woken it up.

"Something tells me we just woke this big guy up!" Blaster exclaimed.

"He's HUGE!" Sora exclaimed.

"Remind you of someone?" Blaster asked.

"Ursula?" Donald asked.

"Gawrsh, I think you're right." Goofy replied.

The creature, which Blaster identified as the Chernabog, exploded in a blue flash, then turned towards Sora and Co.

"Anyone else think we should get out of the way?" Blaster asked. The beast had reared back and, as it thrust its head forward, threw a steady stream of fire from his mouth. Blaster used his shield that was incorporated with his wristband, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy flew out of the way. "Oh, you did NOT just shoot that red (CENSORED) at me!"(A)

Blaster shot fire back at Chernabog, which only made it angrier. Before it could shot flames again, Sora flew forward and took several swipes to its face. It growled in anger, but hunched forward. As it exploded back, with the mountain erupting around him in fire, causing the group to scatter. Sora, Blaster, and Donald threw ice crystals at the creature, avoiding the spheres of energy that were shot at them. Eventually, Blaster got fed up and shot another Blast Arrow, which shot through Chernabog, destroying it.

"Let's not go through that again," Sora said as he, Donald, and Goofy flew to Blaster.

"I agree," Blaster replied, flying into the volcano.

The group continued down, destroying Heartless bent on destroying another world, and viewing different depictions of a world's destruction, which unnerved both Sora and Blaster. A floating portal revealed yet another Behemoth, which was destroyed in seconds. Another Hearless emblem slowly shattered as more Heartless appeared, which was the grand exit that everyone was expecting. However, something else was not expected…Sora found a giant set of doors.

"Woah," Sora said, opening the doors. On the other side of the door was what looked like a beach. A certain, familiar beach. "My home."

"What?" Blaster asked.

"Destiny Islands," Sora replied.

Yet another chapter down, and the epic battle is about to begin between Ansem and the Heroes of Light…if you will. Sorry if this chapter is kinda hurried, and confusing, but I tried to get to Destiny Islands before the end of the chapter. Plz R&R, and all flamers will get a taste of Thundagun!
