You’ve all been waiting for it, and now, here it is! The last chapter for Crystal’s Oddysee!!!!! WOOHOO!

Holy crap. Even I didn’t think I’d get this far with this story. I thought my stupid writer’s block would get the best of me…again. Anyway, enjoy!

Oh…now what?

I…I feel so numb…

I can’t see anything…but darkness…

What’s going on here?

Wait…I see a white light…

What is this?

Getting brighter…

Huh? The light…

It’s…fading?

What’s happening?!

Suddenly, Crystal’s eyes burst open and she shot upright. Her breathing was staggered. It wasn‘t until a minute or two later that she finally regained her senses.

Her vision was blurry and unfocused. After a moment, her vision focused and she looked around. Then, she heard a voice.

“Miss Crystal!”

I’d know that voice anywhere.

She looked to her right. There sitting next to her was Yazu, smiling at her the same way he had when they first met. And sitting next to him…

“Abe!” she said. “Where am I?”

“Look around you,” he replied. She looked at her surroundings. She saw the familiar statues of Scrabs and Paramites covered with thick layers of moss. In front of her were countless Scrabs and Paramites gathered around, as if wondering if Crystal was okay. She looked behind her and saw the many Shivikons and Mudokons that she and Abe had saved from Molten Ironworks. A wide smile crossed her face as she realized where they were.

“We’re back in the temple, aren’t we?” she said. Abe nodded.

Suddenly, and to Abe’s surprise, she embraced him, overjoyed that everything had turned out even better than she had expected. For a moment, he just looked at her shocked, then he embraced her. “Abe, I’m so glad you’re alright,” she said. She looked at him. “What happened to Molten Ironworks?”

“Bombs are wonderful inventions, Crystal,” he said. “All I had to do was set one off in the boiler room.” They both laughed.

“Crystal,” a voice said. She turned to see Shaku standing next to his son. “Shaku!” she said.

“You were right, Crystal.”

“What?”

“When you said I had changed…you were right. I had changed, and not for the better. When you changed…you changed for the best.” She just smiled.

“Miss Crystal, you saved us all!” Yazu said, jumping up and down.

“We all owe our lives to you,” a Mudokon said. The Scrabs began screeching and the Paramites began hissing, all of them for joy and happiness. She looked over at Abe, but saw that he was walking away. She tried to get through the crowd to get to him, but there were too many Mudokons, Shivikons, Paramites, and Scrabs gathered for her to get through them all.

It wasn’t until later that night that she was finally able to catch up to him. She found him standing on the same cliff as the one she had found him on six months ago. Again, his hand was raised to the moon overhead. “Abe,” she said, walking closer to him. He turned to face her, but immediately turned back to the moon. “Are you okay?”

He nodded, but it didn’t convince her. She put a hand on his shoulder, finally getting his attention. He turned to look at her and smiled slightly as he stared deeply into her eyes. He took her hands in his and kissed her, the kiss that seemed to last forever. Finally, he broke the kiss and stared into her eyes again. “I know I should be happy right now…” he began. “But, there’s something bothering me. There are many more Mudokons and Shivikons out there somewhere…” They turned to the moon, Crystal resting her head on his shoulder.

“And we’re going to find them.”

That one was fun to write! I love this stuff! By the way, I don’t know when I’ll get around to putting up a sequel to this, but you can count on a sequel eventually!And I want to give a special thanks to MegeHog14 and Mable for all their support and encouraging reviews. Thanks so much, you two!
