The Phillips sat around the dining table as they each ate pizza slices.

"I don't understand why they thought we ordered pizza," Mrs. Phillips said.

"Maybe Sid made a prank call," her daughter Hannah said.

"That's not true!" Sid yelled. "She's lying! I haven't made a prank call in three years!"

"Is that about the time you started thinking toys were alive?" Hannah asked.

"Shut up!"

"Sid, be nice," Mr. Phillips said.

"She started it!"

"Hannah," Mrs. Phillips began, "we all agreed that we wouldn't question Sid about that phase. He's gone through enough therapy to think of it again."

"I'm gonna go eat in my room," Sid said as he left.

Sid was fifteen year old now. He didn't spend much time hanging out with other teenagers. For the most part, he would hang out in his room. Others would tell him that that was a waste of a summer.

"Stupid Hannah," he muttered to himself.

He got to his room and shut the door. He finished his food in silence. When he was done, he heard a noise coming from the vent. He looked at the wall that the noise was coming from and saw six toy soldiers come out of the vent. Each of them had pieces of duct tape on their bodies.

"Is this some sort of rebel base?" Kip asked.

"Where are the Gorgonites?" Chip said. "Talk!"

"You talk!" Sid said. "You're talking! You can't be talking! It's all my in my imagination. My therapist told me that I imagined living toys because I felt bad about wasting my time taking apart toys. You're not real!"

Chip climbed onto the bed and tugged on Sid's shirt.

"You better talk, kid."

"AH!"

Sid ran out of his room. Scud ran into the room after hearing Sid's scream and began biting the soldiers. Sid ran into the backyard and saw a baby toy's head on top of Erector Set pieces that made it look like a spider or a crab.

"I'm sorry!" Sid said. "I haven't hurt any toy since I heard that cowboy doll's voice. Now you've got soldier toys helping you get back at me? What do you want?"

The alien toy walked up to Sid.

"Those strangers will harm other toys if they aren't stopped. You must use the claw."

"The claw?"

Sid knew exactly what he was referring to. Back in the days when Sid tortured toys, he had a dangerous rocket called The Dragon Claw. He had saved it in his room for a while until he could figure out what huge toy he could try blowing up.

"I'll go get it," Sid said.

Sid went back to his room. Scud was still biting the soldiers. Sid looked under his bed and found The Dragon Claw and duct tape. He got all six of the soldiers away from Scud and took them to the backyard. The rest of his family didn't notice what he was doing since they were focused on a TV program. The soldiers punched Sid, and he dropped them on the ground. Sid's toys fought the soldiers. Jingle Joe, a Melody Push Chime toy with a Combat Carl's head, used it's Mickey Mouse toy arms to strangle Kip. Roller Bob, a jet pilot whose torso was attached to a skateboard, rammed himself into Butch. Walking Car body bumped himself into Link. The insect-headed Rockmobile jumped onto Brick. Nick was kicked by Legs and punched by Ducky. Two miniature soldiers with metal nails surrounded Chip, who easily knocked both of them down. A toy truck drove itself into Chip. Sid picked up all six members of the Commando Elite and used the tape to make them stick to The Dragon Claw. He lit the rocket up with a match.

"I came out of retirement for just this once," Sid said.

"You'll never destroy us, kid!" Chip said.

"It's Sid!"

Sid lit up the rocket with a match and took cover as the flame caused an explosion. Pieces of the Commando Elite flew all around the yard.
