This is it. The final chapter!
Where Dreams Come True
With both Figment's power and the combined efforts of the magic masters, the remaining Blot was cleaned up and put back into a bottle, with Figment taking the container and putting it somewhere that it won't be used for evil again. While the Blot had done a number on the magic kingdom, there were enough remaining structures for all of the characters to regroup at, with the prophecy members staying at the castle with Yen Sid to discuss what to do next.
"So, once again Mickey got us into this mess," Oswald said, playfully ribbing the mouse. "I figured you had something to do with it. Trouble is never far from the Mouse."
"Ah geez," Mickey bashfully replied.
"I'll take some the blame as well," Figment said. "I was just so lonely without Dreamfinder that the idea of bringing all of your worlds together sounded like a great idea."
"So then, this is it," Lena said. "Figment and the wizard guy will reverse this, and we all go our separate ways?"
"The world order is not something that is to be made light of, child," Maleficent said.
"Yes, more harm could be done of things aren't put back the way they're supposed to be," Xehanort added.
Nick crossed his arms. "It's too bad a happy medium isn't possible. I'm gonna miss being able to lift things with my mind."
"Nick!" shouted a voice. The fox turned and saw Judy Hopps running towards him, a playful Todd being held in her grip. "Cheese and crackers, you wouldn't believe how long I've been searching for you."
"That your bunny friend, fox?" Shenzi asked.
Nick nodded. He picked up Todd, the young fox giggling as Nick patted his head. "Glad to see that your safe, kid."
"I found Miss Judy and she protected me," Todd replied.
"He's a cute kid, that's for sure," Judy said.
Shenzi got between the two. "Alright, if you two are going to have a happy reunion, please do so over there."
"Aren't you a cheerful one," Judy muttered.
"Good luck with your girlfriend, Nick!" Brooklyn laughed as the two walked off, the fox and rabbit both becoming flustered by the comment.
The others laughed, only for Yen Sid to cough and gain their attention once more. "Figment, if you would hand over the disc?"
The dragon took out CLU's uncorrupted disc, handing it over to the wizard. Yen Sid did some magic on the object, sending it up into the sky above the castle and opening up a portal above them.
"Huh, a sky portal. How… original," Dr. Strange commented.
"Ha-ha! It is time for us to be going home!" Rafiki said. "Let us all say our goodbyes, then!"
"There's so much I want to tell you all, but mostly I just want to say thank you for all the time we spent together," Oswald said. "You made me feel like I had a Heart again."
Yen Sid looked down at the rabbit, a small smile coming to his face. "Oswald, for your bravery in this world, I will grant you a wish. I will let you visit Mickey and his friends in their world, coming and going from the Wasteland as you please." He conjured up a cartoony heart and handed it to Oswald.
"Master…" Mickey said.
Oswald took the heart, bringing it to his chest and letting it settle in his chest. "Thank you, Master Yen Sid," the rabbit said, tears welling up in his eyes.
A portal opened behind the rabbit and mouse, a distinct Mickey-shaped building appearing in it. "It's the clubhouse!" Mickey exclaimed. He and Oswald stepped though the portal, waving to everyone as it closed.
Riku turned as his portal was next, a tropical island on the other side. "I guess it's back to looking for Sora," he said. He stepped into the portal and put a hand to his heart. "May your heart be your guiding key, everyone."
"I think it's my turn next," Angel said. She hopped though her portal, Lilo and Stitch waiting on the other side. "Let's make music together if we meet again!" she called as the portal closed.
"Are we saying our goodbyes already?" Nick asked, returning with Judy and Todd. A portal appeared behind them, leading to the ZPD building of their world. "Huh, I guess it is."
Another portal opened nearby, showing a small cabin in a field. "That's my home!" Todd exclaimed. He nuzzled Nick, hopping down and towards his home. "Bye Mr. Nick, bye Miss Judy!"
"I'm gonna miss that kid," Nick said.
Judy held his paw as they stepped though the portal. "Hey, we might see him again, maybe," she assured.
Nick laughed. "See you guys!" he smirked as the portal closed.
Brooklyn looked as his portal was next. "I'm glad I had the chance to see a sunrise," he said. "I'll remember you all as brave warriors and honorary clan members."
Lena looked around as Shenzi's portal was next. "Alright, monkey man, let's go home already," the hyena said. "I have a few things I want to bring up to your king once we're home."
"I sense a new horizon for the Pride Lands," Rafiki laughed.
Lena sighed. "Guess I'm it," she said. Her portal opened up, and immediately a pink blur zoomed out and tackled her.
"Lena!" Webby cried. "Where have you been this whole time!?"
"It's a long, long story, Webs," Lena said. "Why don't we go home, and I can tell you and Vi the whole thing?"
As the last of the prophecy members left, the other magic masters did so as well, with Yen Sid and Figment being left alone as the world around them slowly faded away like a drawing in reverse. "So, are we going home now?" Figment asked. "I don't exactly have place to go…"
"Figment, what you have done here is something that I did not anticipate," Yen Sid said.
"Well, I did have help from Mickey's wish," the dragon explained.
The wizard closed his eyes. "I'll talk to the Blue Fairy later as well," Yen Sid muttered. "Nevertheless, I would like to take your idea and… change it, in a way."
"Wait, really?" Figment asked.
Yen Sid nodded. The two stepped through a portal, coming out into Yen Sid's tower where Chernabog waited outside. "Your world was one that brought dreams to life, but it lacked someone to guide the course of it," Yen Sid said.
"We would like to rework what you did, bringing the worlds together it a new way," Chernabog said.
"Of course, to do so in a way that doesn't interfere with the world order is a difficult task, but one that we have come up with a solution to," Yen Sid explained. "We will take the dreams of everyone you brought together and link them into this new world."
"Oh, I get it!" Figment said, a lightbulb appearing over his head. "By connecting their dreams, we can let them all reunite in this dream world, all while they go about living their normal lives!"
"There is a catch, however," Chernabog said. "In order for this to world, we must travel back to the beginning of the worlds and start from there."
"That'll take some time, but I'm willing to do it," Figment said.
Chernabog nodded, opening a portal for the dragon to go through. Yen Sid, in a surprise move, took off his hat and placed it on Figment's head. "You'll know who to give this to," he said with a wink.
Figment smiled, adjusting the hat before hopping into the portal.

Another Place, Another Time
Mickey stood in front of the "Partners" statue, looking up at Walt's immortalized image. He held the Sorcerer's Hat in his hands, Figment beaming at him as the mouse put in on. Mickey turned around, looking out at everyone that was gathered in front of the castle: princesses, heroes, animals, superheroes, rebels, Muppets, villains, and more. Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, the Triplets, and Oswald all stood at the front, the rabbit giving his brother a thumbs up in approval.
"When Walt made this world, he did so as to give us a land where dreams come true. We've all been though a lot over the years, but even now there's more dreamers than ever before. When those that believe wish upon a star, anything is possible!"
Mickey smiled and waved his hands upwards, fireworks shooting up behind the castle.
"In Walt's words: To all that come to this happy place; Welcome!"
Author's Note
It's over! I want to thank everyone who read this story, as it's been a fun ride all the way though.
To explain the ending a bit, Figment was basically sent back to the beginning of Disney to inspire the dreams of everyone, thus sparking "the magic of Disney." Yen Sid's hat was given to Walt, then passed down to Mickey to continue the magic. The new Magic Kingdom is similar to the one that began this story, but how it's different will be seen in the future. TL;DR Figment closed the loop and made the Magic Kingdom a real place with the help of Disney Magic.
I'll be starting another Disney story soon that's a loose sequel to this one. I hope you stay tuned, Disney Dreamers!
