Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom Chapter 10: Going the Distance, a disney fanfic

Chapter 9:

Going the Distance

Blurry was still walking. Ever since he confessed to Merlin, he felt so...depressed. He thought talking about it would take a whole lot of pressure off his shoulders, but he was wrong. It didn't help at all. Blurry let out a sigh and then looked up because he had been keeping his head down the entire time he was walking. He soon looked and saw that he had walked so much, he was back in some kind safari zone of Adventure Land. Blurry knew he should head back to the tower to help Merlin find the next Crystal Piece, but something stopped him.

"...I have to go back." Blurry said out loud. "But what if I let him down? What if I can't do anything?" Blurry groaned in frustration as he grabbed his head. He took a deep breath and then looked up at the sky.

Blurry was hesitate, but he began to sing softly. "...I have often dreamed. Of a far off place. Where a great warm welcome would be waiting for me. Where you'd stand there. With a smile on your face, and your voice kept saying: 'This is where you're meant to be'!" Blurry gasped and looked back down and slowly moved forward.

"...I would find my way." Blurry continued. "If I could Go the Distance. I would be there, someday. But I know that I am wrong. I would go every mile, just to see you smile...I would go most anywhere to find where I belong…"

Blurry stopped singing and looked and saw the sun was beginning to set. Was he got that long already? Blurry sighed and kept walking forward when something was thrown at his head.

"Ow! What the…?" Blurry picked up the berry, that was as hard as a rock, that was thrown at his head. Then the teenager heard something.

"A-sante-sana-squash-banana…" Blurry looked up and saw some weird old baboon swinging in a tree and laughing at Blurry. Blurry looked at the monkey, very puzzled. The baboon came down from the tree and came up to Blurry.

"Uh...Who are you…?" Blurry asked, still very confused.

"No, no, no!" The baboon countered. "The real question is: Who are YOU?" He asked as he poked Blurry with his weird stick he was carrying.

"I'm-"

"Wait, I know!" The baboon interrupted Blurry and got Blurry to come down to his height level. "I know who you are, but it's a secret." The baboon whispered into Blurry's ear and then said, "...A-sante-sana-squash-banana!" The Baboon began rambling and laughing again, which really got on Blurry's nerves.

"Jeez, dude!" Blurry complained. "What are you even saying?"

"I am saying that you are a baboon...and I am not." The monkey laughed, but Blurry just rolled his eyes and said, "I think you're a little confused." Blurry began to walk away, but the baboon appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

"Ah, ah, ah! I'm not the one confused here, you don't even KNOW who you are!"

"What are you-Of course I know who I am! Do you?" Blurry kept walking away.

"Sure do! You're Conroy Temputus, Carol's best friend!" Blurry frozen and spun around to face the baboon.

"...Bye." The baboon the dashed off.

"Wa-Wait!" Blurry cried out and chased after the crazy old monkey. Soon, he caught up to the baboon, who was mediating on a rocky hill.

Blurry was panting from all the running. "Wait...You knew Carol?"

"Correction. I know Carol." The baboon stated. Blurry looked at the baboon, shocked, but then he got sad.

"I'm sorry, but she passed away...10 years ago." Blurry informed the baboon.

"Nope! Wrong again!" The baboon jumped over Blurry with his stick.

"Wait, what?!" Blurry was extremely confused.

"Help Rafiki, and I shall show her to you! Trust me." The baboon, Rafiki it seemed, held his hand for Blurry's hand. Blurry was confused, but also curious about what this old monkey was talking about. Blurry took Rafiki's hand and the baboon took him to an open field. Blurry looked and saw Hades standing in the far end of the field. It looked like he was summoning something. That's when huge storm cloud in the shape of the loin, Scar, appeared.

"Dark power has made Scar a mighty storm." Rafiki told Blurry as he let go of the teenager's hand. "Only a good power can stop him!" Blurry looked at the baboon and then pointed at himself, a bit confused. Rafiki nodded his head. Blurry looked from monkey to the storm that Scar was becoming. His expression then changed into a look of determination. Blurry summoned his Space Bow and walked towards the storm.

Scar looked at the teenager who was coming towards him and laughed. "What's this now? A mere child, coming to defeat me?" Blurry said nothing to the storm cloud and summoned some arrows of magic. He loaded one arrow on his bow and aimed it at Scar.

"Well then, I have only one bit of advice for you...RUN!" Scar roared and lightning came down at Blurry. However, the teen fired his Time Arrows and they hit the lightning, making them freeze in place. Blurry then used Space Arrows and fired them at the lightning once more. The lightning was being to warp in on itself and so caused a giant explosion that surprised Scar, but Blurry wasn't at all startled. Blurry fired 3 more Space Arrows into the storm. His hands began to glow pink and he crushed his hands together, causing the storm and Scar to be crushed together. The pressure on the storm was too much for Scar to handle and soon, in a great flash of light, the storm was gone along with Scar.

Blurry looked up at where the storm once was and what came falling down was the Crystal Piece Merlin was probably looking for. Meanwhile, watching from the afar, Hades flabbergasted by how easily Blurry had defeated Scar. "Great! Just great!" Hades face palmed. "Did he listen? No! He wanted to be a cloud! Who's afraid of a CLOUD?!" Hades then screamed in frustration as he teleported back to the Underworld to take his anger out on his minions.

Blurry caught the Crystal Piece and looked at it as it shimmering in his hands. Just then, as sun finally set, the crystal piece glowed brightly and an image came out of the fragment. Blurry was blinded for a second before looking at the figure who came out of it. His eyes widened in shock when he saw Carol standing, or floating, in front of him. She looked exactly the same as she was when she was 8 years old. She had the same black, short hair and the same chestnut brown eyes.

"Car...Carol?!" Blurry was at a loss for words.

"Blurry." Carol said. "I've been watching you all this time, Blurry. Watching over you. I made you suffer so much ever since that day. I'm sorry." She said.

"What? No! What are YOU sorry for?! I should be sorry! I couldn't save you that day!" Blurry claimed. "I should've saved you! No matter what-"

"Blurry." Carol interrupted him. She floated over to him a gave him a big hug. Blurry was shocked. How was this happening? How was Carol here? "I came back using the power of the Crystal Piece to talk to you one last time. It's not your fault. It's not my fault. It's not anyone's fault. I'm just sad...that I never got to say goodbye." Blurry found himself hugging Carol back.

"...Is that what you came to do? Say goodbye?" Blurry asked.

"Not only that. I also wanted to tell something really important." Carol replied. She kissed Blurry on the check before she released him from the hug and then smiled. "I will always be with you, Blurry. No matter. I'll be watching you from wherever I am now. I don't want you to lose hope because of me. So please, for me...just smile." She said. Blurry stared at Carol as the winds picked up and Carol started flying away.

"! Carol! Wait!" Blurry called and reached out to her.

"Don't worry, Blurry!" Carol smiled as she flew and started fading away. "I'll always be with you! So just smile for me, OK?" Blurry watched as Carol left, and he saw her smile one last time. But before she disappeared completely, Blurry heard Carol say one last thing: "I love you."

And then, she was gone. Blurry stood there, wondering what just had happened.

"What was THAT?!" Rafiki broke Blurry out of this thoughts as he laughed and came to Blurry's side. "The weather, very peculiar. Don't you think?" He asked the teen.

"Yeah...Yeah. The wind's are changing." Blurry said, still in a bit of shock.

"Ah, yes. Change is good." Rafiki added.

"Yeah, but it's not always easy." Blurry stated. "I know what I have to do now, but...if I do, I might repeat my past. And I've been avoiding it for so long-" Rafiki then smacked Blurry on the head with his stick. "OW! Jeez man-What the hell was that for?!" Blurry asked the crazy baboon.

"It doesn't matter! It's in the past!" Rafiki laughed.

"Yeah, but it still hurts, and I think I might be bleeding." Blurry said, feeling his head, making sure there was no blood. Rafiki then put his hand on Blurry's shoulder. "Ah, yes, the past CAN hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run FROM IT! Or...learn from it." Rafiki was about to whack Blurry on the head again, but this time, Blurry dodged it.

"Aha! You see! So what are you going to do?" Rafiki asked.

Blurry thought for a moment. "Well...first, I'm going to take your stick!" He grabbed Rafiki's stick then threw it to the side.

"No! No! Not the stick!" Rafiki went over and reclaimed his item, but then looked back to see Blurry running off. "Hey! Hey, where are you going?!" He called after him.

"I'm going back to save the Disney World!" Blurry called back.

"Good! Go on! Get out of here!" Rafiki shouted before laughing in triumph. Meanwhile, as Blurry was running faster and faster back to Main Street, he began to sing again.

"I am on my way! I can Go the Distance! I don't care how far! I know that I'll be strong! And with every mile, I can see your smile...I have finally figured out where it is that I belong!" And as Blurry sang, he had done something that he hadn't done in 10 years. He finally smiled.

Arriving back at Merlin's Tower, just as the old wizard was about to leave and get back the Crystal Piece he finally discovered was in Adventure Land, Blurry explained everything that had happened and handed the Crystal Piece over to Merlin.

"Ho ho! Well done, Blurry!" Merlin then asked, "Are you feeling any better? I was awfully worried-"

"I'm fine, Merlin." Blurry assured Merlin. "Better than ever, actually." He admitted as he gave Merlin a small smile. Out of the whole time Merlin knew and talked to Blurry, he had never seen the teenager smile before. Not once at all, until now that is. Just before Merlin said anything, Blurry hurried over and picked up his favorite novel and started reading it.

"I'm just going to rest for a bit before we go find the last Crystal Piece. That OK?" Blurry asked.

"...Of course, my boy." Merlin answered, smiling himself.
