Author's Note: A bit off topic in this; While I wasn't able to see the Solar Eclipse in reality, at least I managed to see it on the News today and it still looked amazing!
Anyway, this is definitely the last chapter of the Toy Story world. Sorry for the little misjudgement on that, guys. Let's move on, shall we?
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.
CH17: True Meaning of Playtime.
No matter what Myde and Woody did, even when their friends now trapped in the Heat Duct, they couldn't get it open since the Prospector, now his true colours were revealed, had tightened it so much that the only way to unscrew it was with a screw driver which unfortunately wasn't in the office.
"It's stuck!" Woody cried out, even when both Sora and Buzz tried to unscrew it from the other side.
"What do we do?" Ven asked, worriedly.
Rex, remembering how they opened the grate the first time earlier even though it was already opened, asked, "Should I use my head?"
"It will only give you pain, mate. It won't work this time even if we try it." Jack shook his head, already knowing that with the grate being sealed shut, the second attempt would only result in hitting Rex's head so hard that it would give the toy T-Rex the mother of all headaches.
Just then, everyone heard a sound from the otherside of the door, and to their horror, footsteps heading straight towards it which meant only one thing.
"It's Al'!" Myde cried out, horrified, and even though time was running out and he could just wait until the others found another way to get him back...he didn't want to abandon Woody, Jessie and Bullseye. So as Jessie and Bullseye both quickly returned to the foams as though nothing happened, he turned to Sora and the others and whispered, "...Sora, Buzz, save us."
Without time to response, as Al' stormed in, Sora and the others backed away and could only watch in horror as Woody and then Myde, without much choice, both collasped onto the floor as though they were lifeless toys, even though mentally, Myde was panicking as he never had done this before since his arrival and prayed that he wouldn't screw up.
"Look at the time. I'm gonna be late!" Al' was panicking himself, before unthinkingly noticed Woody on the ground and then saw apparently another 'cowboy doll' he'd never seen before, and asked as he placed Woody back in the foam before picking up the frozen Myde, "Hey, where'd you come from, little guy? Oh, never mind! I'll just take you, anyway! I can't miss this flight!"
Al' then packed all of the Roundup gang toys and then placed Myde on top of them in the green suitcase while saying to himself while going through his list, "All right. Let's see. Uh, wallet, keys, tickets, uh, passport, beef jerky...very expensive over there.I just gotta get outta here now!"
'Myde!' Sora cried out in his mind, horrified at the fact that Myde had allowed himself to be captured and taking the risk of being put into a Museum and now the mullet-haired former Nobody was counting on him to save him and Woody.
So as Al' wheeled the rest of the merchandise, the toys and Myde in the boxes and suitcase, Sora's group and the six other toys knew what had to be done in order to save Myde, Woody and now their two new friends Jessie and Bullseye.
"Quick, to the elevator!" Buzz commanded.
No one argued as all of them raced through back to where they came from as fast as they could as outside the vents Al' was hurriedly pushing the botton to get the elevator to hurry up. From the sounds, everyone knew that it was getting closer and closer. However, New Buzz gasped as he and the other skid to a stop when a strikingly very familiar figure rose into view from the very roof of the elevator. The menacing red laser eyes, the black horns and purple cape...no, it couldn't be...!
"So, we meet again, Buzz Lightyear, for the last time." Zurg spoke menacingly at New Buzz, glaring with pure hatred. To everyone's further shock, darkness was slowly seen around him, and Heartless were there as well, which meant that like the Prospector, the Heartless were briefly following this villian of a toy.
"Who're you!?" Sora demanded, glaring back, while Rex screamed in horror as he and both Buzzes recongised the villian.
"It's Zurg!" New Buzz, Rex and even Buzz exclaimed in shock. Where had Zurg come from?
Without answering Sora's question or having any care of the casualties of New Buzz's new allies, Zurg held out a triple cannon blaster that was in the place of his right arm and prepared to fire.
"Watch out! He's got an ion blaster!" Rex panicked.
"And he's got Heartless too!" Goofy added, panicking as well.
"Leave Zurg to me! Sora and your troops handle the Heartless!" New Buzz said boldly, preparing to fight.
"Got it!" Sora responded, already something his Keyblade, as the rest of the worldly travellers summoned their weapons.
"Do you really think you can handle my new minions with that feeble weapon, boy?" Zurg challenged, evilly.
"You don't have any idea what we're capable of." Aqua answered instead, glaring heatedly at Zurg.
Zurg just laughed, before firing what he thought were heated energy balls, though in reality they were really just nerf balls from a nerf gun he was wielding. None the less, most of the group ducked while New Buzz flipped up and over his arch enemy who kept on missing him before firing his Laser at him and while it was just a blinking light-bulb, it still managed to cause some damage to Zurg who growled, before his anger grew and then fired once more, but New Buzz kept on dodging and fighting him.
Just as the elevator began to descend. Sora wasted no time and leaped onto the elevator himself along with his companions, some of them using the iron ropes to slide down as did the other toys who knew that the worldly travellers would have to protect them while they handled the Heartless. Rex was the last and hesitated, nervously.
"The emegancy hatch! Come on!" Buzz called out, he and the other toys hurrying over to the emergancy hatch of the Elevator.
"Rex! Come on! Jump!" Goofy called up, before shrieking as a Heartless nearly scraped him before he managed to whack it with his Shield in self-defense.
Finally, not wanting to be left behind, Rex tried to copy the others, but his arms missed and instead fell rapidly while screaming loudly...right on top of Mr. Potato Head. The two layed there for a couple of moments, moaning.
Sora thrusted his Keyblade at as many Heartless as quickly as possible, even in the most athletic skills he learned along the way during this new journey. He then joined with Donald and Goofy to do their special trinity skills they used on their first two adventures, holding up their weapons skyward as multiple of the combination of Sora and Donald's magic created a display of fireworks that swallowed up some of the Heartless into a ball until it briefly exploded, but they and everyone else knew they had to be careful to avoid in snapping the ropes and then causing a devastating crash that could kill everyone, both on top of the elevator and inside the elevator.
Lea used a combination of his own Fire-balls that formed onto the blades of his Chakrams, tossing them at the Heartless he was facing that caused twice amount of damage before creating a much half-sized larger one and then switched out for his Keyblade, whacking it with the second weapon that bounced around seven of the Robot-like Heartless he was facing like a pinball game machine until all of the Heartless were gone and the attack stopped.
Terra and Isa thrusted their Keyblade at the two larger Robot-Heartless that were two times taller than them, first attacking it's dangerous laser arms while doing their best to avoid it, and then when the arms were gone, Isa switched out for his Claymore and thrusted it downward, hitting it head first and surprisingly not causing the elevator to shift, thankfully. Terra in the meantime used a D-Link with Ven and tossed his Keyblade at the Heartless's chest twice before whacking it with much of his strength to the side of the elevator, sending it falling below into the abyss.
Kairi, with little training sparing time with Aqua in the gummiship's simulator due to not being able to go anywhere else while also not crashing the vessel, elegently spun around her Keyblade, whacking the Heartless that came to her before jumping out of the way when another tried to attack from behind. She then casted Blizzard to freeze one before using her special Pink Orb of Light attack that send it flying beautifully and destroying not only the Heartless that tried to attack her, but also three others that were unfortunately in the same line as it was. With that done, she whirled while carrying her Keyblade with her and successfully sliced a cow-boy Heartless cleanly in half.
Mickey was spinning repeatedly while doing his somur-sault with his Kingdom Key-D Keyblade that did sever damage to the Heartless he was fighting before sending out golden Orbs of Light that instantly destroyed seven of them. The King wasted no time in hurrying over to Riku and Ven who both teamed up in thrusting their Keyblades at the Heartless they were facing, using the combination of thrusts, tossing their weapons simulationly, Ven using Blizzaraga to freeze three Heartless and smashing them into pieces, and Riku using Firaga to melt four Heartless before whacking them to the side where they too fell. The two teenagers and Mickey then formed in a circle and used their powers to spin around and around in a circle of light that defeated the Heartless that tried to get to them but were destroyed by the three Keyblade wielders.
Roxas dodge-rolled out of the way when a knife-armed Heartless attempted to slice him in half before he responded by whacking and slashing at the Heartless in his skilled combo before stabbing it backwards with his Keyblade as he remembered Elizabeth do a similiar skill back in the Caribbean. He then burrowed some of Xion's power and was able to summon her Keyblade with is left hand and preformed a double combo at five other Heartless, doing twice amount of damage with two Keyblades and then finished them off in an X like skill before Roxas returned the other Keyblade to Xion.
This allowed the former Replica to reclaim her weapon and continue her fight with the aid of Skuld and Aqua, as all three of them were facing quite speedy Heartless that gave them a bit of trouble, but there was nothing like the Stopza spell that couldn't do the trick. Xion leaped into the air and then thrusted her Keyblade downward that finished off two Heartless single handedly before swiping another quickly when it tried to give out a surprise attack. Aqua in the meantime twirled her Keyblade while glowing in white light before sending out a special attack of Rainbow Light that beautifully rained down at the Heartless and followed them no matter where they went until they were hit and severally weakened. It gave the Keyblade Master a chance to use her combo skills as well as the combination of Firaga, Blizzaraga and Thunderaga to finish them off.
Skuld in the meantime held out her Keyblade in front of her and then spun around and around and around while the tip of the weapon glowed and finally, while super careful not to hit anyone or anything else, a beam of light shot out like a glowing laser of blue light and as she spun, nine Heartless that tried to get to her were met and sliced in half by the power of her attack and sent into oblivion even before she was gone with the attack.
Jack just used his usual swords man skills, managing to slice a couple of heads of the Heartless off before dodge-rolling out of the way to avoid in being sliced in half. When several more appeared and he found himself a bit stuck, around thin metal disks were next to him to his right and then an idea came into mind. The pirate then picked one up and tossed it almost like a frisbee, successfully catching one off guard and causing it to stumble back and clumsily fell off the elevator, falling into the darkness below. Jack then used this distraction to kick another Heartless in the stomach while blocking it's claws with his Keyblade, sending it to fall after it's fellow Heartless in the similiar fate.
New Buzz found himself stuck and hiding behind part of the elevator's roof while Zurg continued to fire angrily until the former noticed several disks next to him which gave him an idea. Taking them, New Buzz stood up from his hiding place and tossed them like frisbees at Zurg who managed to block two, but was hit in the face by the third, causing him to cry out in agony and to look away. It gave New Buzz a chance to rest for a few seconds before making to attack again, only to pause when Zurg somehow disappeared...
But it was a distraction for himself as New Buzz found himself in the choking grasp of Zurg who suddenly appeared next to him, raising him high up, before attacking him while New Buzz was unable to defend himself, being smacked into the part of the elevator three times, which in doing so hit one of the toy's record bottons, twice before it could finish it's sentence.
"Buzz-Buzz-Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!" Said the voice recorder.
"Come on! Hurry!" Buzz told his friends while the worldly travellers and New Buzz were busy fighting the Heartless and Zurg. The four other toys now stood in front of the emergancy shaft and made to open it.
Rex was just standing there, whimpering helplessly as he protested to four of his friends, "But Buzz, Sora and the others are in peril!"
Zurg by then had twirled New Buzz above him several times before tossing him to the side of the elevator where the latter layed, trapped and exhausted as Zurg now stood over him, preventing his escape.
"Surrender, Buzz Lightyear! Your new allies may have defeated my minions, I have won!" Zurg commanded, declaring his victory.
"I'll never give in." New Buzz argued, glaring with pure hatred at his enemy. "You killed my father!"
What Zurg said next sent him into pure shock and utter dismay, as it also shocked Rex as well, even though it was for a different matter.
"No, Buzz." Zurg said, softly this time but still not sorry. "I am your father."
"Nooooo!" New Buzz cried out, feeling the crushing defeat for the first time in his life. He couldn't believe it. It couldn't be true!
While the worldly travellers were almost done with the Heartless, Rex, not wanting New Buzz to give up, hurried over and pleadingly told his newer friend, "Buzz, you could have defeated Zurg all along! You just need to believe in yourself!"
To Rex's and soon Sora's group's horror, Zurg aimed the blaster right at New Buzz after turning it to full power(even though it wouldn't make much of a difference since it was just a flashy light with a plastic nob) and made for the killing blow. "Prepare to die!"
"NO!" Sora cried out, dismayed.
"Ah! I can't look!" Rex cried out, turning around since his arms were far too short to cover his eyes.
However, as it did, he unwittingly and accidently whacked Zurg with his tail, which caused the villian to wheel backwards and was unable to stop himself while Zurg slightly panicked. "Wh-Wh-Wh-Whoa!"
Too late to save himself, Zurg was rolled right off of the elevator's roof and fell.
"ARRRAGGGGHHHH!" Zurg yelled as he fell into the darkness below and apparently to his death.
When he realized what just happened, Rex stood over the side and stared down at Zurg's demise, unable to believe what just happened. In his accidental proneness, he actually did it for the first time in ages, except that it wasn't in the video game; It was in real life!
"I did it..." Rex said, unbelievably, before cheering happily to himself, "I finally defeated Zurg!"
"Well...that's one way to beat a bad guy." Lea commented as he joined Rex after all of the Heartless were defeated for now. He then smirked and said to the toy dinosaur, "Nice one, man."
"Thanks, Lea. You were right. It is a huge difference between video games and reality!" Rex replied, turning to the redhead.
New Buzz on the other hand, despite having been saved and Emperor Zurg finally defeated for good, felt the sudden loss and could only mourn as he gazed below at where Zurg had fallen.
"Father..." He moaned.
While the fights were happening even though Al' had been fully unaware and was waiting impatiently to reach ground level, Buzz was holding Slinky's bottom as low as possible with both Potato Head and Hamm holding onto his legs as long as possible. Slinky, hanging while getting his angle right, swinged himself forward and successfully clipped open the case which allowed both Woody and Myde to open it and the two, seeing the Slinky dog, grab onto his paws to pull themselves out.
And they so close even as the elevator finally reached ground level, but the Prospector, having seen this, came back out of his box and angrily yanked them off with force which caused Myde and Woody to let go and pulled them back, shoving them back in while the case closed and resealed itself, while Slinky, being forced to let go, slammed face first into the wall.
When everyone else, even the worldly travellers saw this, they all jumped down though they ended up falling and landing on top of each other just as the glass doors were about to close. Seeing this, Mr. Potato Head had an idea and tossed his plastic black hat like a frisbee where it successfully blocked the doors from closing and leaving a gap large enough for everyone to race outside before he retrieved it while the doors closed behind as he was the last one out.
But they were too late as Al' was already driving off with their friends inside.
"How do we get'em now?" Donald asked, dismayed.
"Pizza, anyone?" Mr. Potato Head asked jokingly, as he noticed the answer to solve that problem.
Everyone else turned to where he was looking at and saw an old gurnished coloured car with a billboard sign that said "Pizza Planet" on top. The driver's seat door was open which meant the owner of the car wasn't going to be out for long.
"C'mon!" Mickey told everyone, taking the lead.
"Go, go, go!" Buzz instructed as he and Sora made to follow, only to stop in surprise when New Buzz ran backward and successfully caught one of the nerf balls that was thrown at him.
"Buzz, you coming with us?" Sora asked to New Buzz.
"No, I, I have a lot of catching up to do with my dad." New Buzz replied, somewhat childly before tossing it...right onto Zurg's head. Apparently Zurg survived the fall but has been rendered with amnesia and thus, did not remember in being evil at all. Only being a father to New Buzz.
"Good throw, son. That's my boy. Go long, Buzzy!" Zurg cheered proudly, before firing another nerf ball into the air in a new game of catch and throw.
"Oh, you're a great Dad! Yippee!" New Buzz cheered, happily and childishly hurrying to catch it. It made Sora and Buzz quickly understand and smile a fond goodbye.
"See ya." Sora waved.
"Farewell." Buzz smiled.
The two then quickly rejoined everyone else as they all hopped into the car and close the door shut, thankful that the car was still put into gear, which saved them from having to try and turn it on.
"Does anyone know how to drive?" Rex asked.
"Not me." Jack replied.
"Sora, help me steer." Buzz commanded, using a pizza box to make himself and Sora a bit higher so that they can hold the steering wheel before he continued, "Slink, Ven, you guys take the pedals. Rex, Goofy, you two can navigate. Hamm and Potato, operate the levers and knobs."
Mr. Potato Head, standing on Hamm's back, fiddled with the said knobs, only to turn on the air conditioning which blew onto the faces of Ven and Slinky who were both about to take the pedals.
"Whoa!" The two exclaimed at the cold air.
Just as both Goofy and Rex climbed onto higher part of the car at the front window, they and everyone else heard three unfamiliar, or familiar in Buzz's case, voices above them which caused them to look up and saw three small green little men squeeky toys in blue space suits, having three eyes and a single attenna each, hanging from the review mirror on a white string.
"Oooooh!" The three green men said in awe in seeing the group for the first time.
"Strangers." The first one said.
"From the outside." The second one said.
"Uh, hi?" Terra waved, awkwardly, while Kairi and Xion both thought the squeeky green toys were so cute, and even both Aqua and Skuld thought they were adorable, much to the discomfort of their companions.
"Oh, no." Buzz groaned in dismay, shaking his head as more memories came into his mind before shaking them off for now. They had friends to save.
"Hey, he's at a red light! We can catch'em!" Goofy said as Al's car stopped at the red light.
"Slink, Ven, now!" Sora quickly called out.
Both Ven and Slinky pushed hard at one of the pedals, but despite the jolt movement, the car remained firm and stuck into place, much to worry of everyone. It got worse when both Goofy and Rex saw that the light turned green and Al's car drove off.
"Ah! It turned green! Hurry!" Rex shrieked.
"Why won't it go?" Buzz asked.
"Use the wand of power." Three little alien toys instructed as they pointed at a stick with a metal ball on top.
"You mean this?" Jack asked, staring at the said 'wand of power' before shrugging and with the aid of Lea and Isa, the three of them pulled it to their right right up to the letter D that none of them noticed even now.
None the less, it got the car going in high speed and Sora and Buzz successfully managed to get onto the right side of the road though the car did drive right though the traffic cones that were in place, but the worldly travellers and toys had no time to worry about that. Due to the speed of the car, not only had the rest of the worldly travellers and toys had to hold on for dear life, but the passenger seat's cabinet opened and soon items landed on top of Lea, Donald and Hamm.
"Ouch-hey-Ow!/Ow-hey-OW!/Oh-ow-oh!" Donald, Lea and Hamm all grunted as the items bounced on their heads and onto the floor.
"Guys, which way?" Sora asked to Goofy and Rex.
"Left!" Rex instructed, before both Sora and Buzz turned to the left and onto the lane and directly behind Al' who was completely unaware that he was being followed. "I mean right!"
"Don't worry, left is right!" Goofy said, ensuring that they were on the right track.
"Buzz, he's turning left! He's turning left!" Rex hurriedly repeated as Al' turned to the left side of another road. Buzz, being on the left side of the wheel, jumped and bodily turned the steering wheel to the left.
But due to this and nearly dangerously put the car to it's side, the force of it loosened the string from the review mirror and the alien toys immediately knew they were in big trouble.
"Oh, oh boy!" They cried out, worriedly.
Mr. Potato Head, seeing this, quickly jumped and grabbed onto the string and held on as long as he could while standing on the opened window while the three alien toys were screaming and fearing that they were about to fall and be squashed, "Whoa-oa-oa-oa!"
"Geez, what kind of loser wouldn't have this mileage?" Lea asked as he, Donald and Hamm were reading through the car's manual guide that had fallen out of the conpartment.
"Oh, I seriously doubt he'd ever get it." Hamm commented.
"Sora! To the right! To the right!" Goofy cried out when Al' now turned to the right on another road.
This time Sora mimicked what Buzz did, but only in the opposite direction as the latter did moments ago. This time, it allowed Potato Head to pull the three alien toys back inside the car, but all three of them crashed onto the passenger's seat and the string becoming completely loose which allowed the latter toys to now move freely.
"You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful." The three alien toys said in gratitude, giving Potato Head the fallen right ear that fell out while the latter shook away the dizzy spells after moaning about it.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever." Mr. Potato Head waved off as he thankfully reclaimed his ear and put it back into place.
The rest of the drive was straight forward because Sora and everyone else were heading right towards this world's airport. Despite someone outside announcing to anyone who was driving about the White Zone being used only for unloading and loading for a short time, they parked right in front of the glass doors at the boarderline checkouts and stopped the car.
"Gawrsh, fellers. We can't park here." Goofy pointed out as he and the others took a peak from the passenger side's window without being seen by the normal-sized people. "It's a white zone."
"There he is!" Mickey spoke up, spotting Al' who was putting the green case onto a conveyerbelt where all small bags and cases go into in order to board the plane.
"How can we get in without being seen?" Riku asked, doubtfully.
As the group looked for a way to sneak in, Kairi then spotted something caught her eye; a large pet carrier that was fit for a big dog or puppies. Or in this case, everyone that was currently in the car.
"I have an idea." Kairi announced.
Following Kairi's idea, everyone snuck into one of the large pet carriers and when no one was looking, with a hole made underneath Buzz, Sora, Riku and Terra, the four dragged it with the cage door closed and snuck onto the conveyerbelt next to to where Al' was standing and he was rudely and warningly telling the worker at the desk who was placing the green case onto it.
"Listen, Flight-boy, the contents of that case are worth more than you make in a year!" Al' told him.
The worker, while mentally groaning, patiently told the costumer that he understood, while they were completely unaware that Sora and everyone else in the pet carrier were waiting as they were being carried towards the entrance of the back somewhere.
"The Mystic Portal! Oooh!" The little alien toys, who had come along for the ride, said in awe.
"Okay, fellas. Once we get through, all we have to do is find the case." Mickey told the group, firmly and with determination.
As the group in the pet carrier were carried through the flippers of the entrance, there in for a huge shock as, right in front of them, were hundreds if not thousands of conveyerbelts going in all kinds of directions, up and down, side to side, going up like esculators, almost like zillions of rollercoaster rides that were all tangled up together. There were also thousands of different kinds of bags an suitcases in many kinds on every one of the conveyerbelts.
The sight made Mr. Potato Head gasp in utter horror and disbelief.
"...I am going to hate this." Jack muttered, seemingly terrified in blank shock.
Everyone then screamed when they were sent sliding down in high speed towards a lower conveyerbelt before they finally landed, but the impact caused the group to tumble out and land on top of each other briefly, groaning and moaning.
As Goofy recovered along with everyone else, he immediately spotted the case in a distance in front of them, and pointed out, "There's the case!"
"No, there's the case!" Donald pointed out as he spotted another case that was exactly the same as the one Goofy spotted on the conveyerbelt directly below them.
Seeing how some of them were finding it difficult which one to follow, Sora knew what to do. "You guys take that one, we'll take this one!" He instructed as he and Buzz hurried to the one in the distance, with Kairi, Riku, Mickey, Goofy and Slinky following them.
The rest of the group jumped onto the conveyerbelt below and hurried to catch up to their green case while some of the worldly travellers had to fight off Heartless that appeared and tried to stop them. Despite the annoying Heartless getting in the way, Lea, Isa, Roxas, Xion, Skuld, Ven, Terra, Aqua, Jack, Donald, Hamm, Potato Head, Rex and the three toy aliens managed to successfully reach their case and yanked it open.
"Myde! Woody!" Lea shouted...
Only to realise that it was the wrong one, because instead of Myde and the other toys they were expecting, all they found was high class Camera set. Everyone groaned in irritation and annoyance due to this, and now had to count on Sora's group to reach their case which was the right one.
"Oh, nuts!" Donald groaned.
"Bugger!" Jack cursed.
"Nice flash, though." Hamm admitted.
Meanwhile, Sora and his group were running as fast as they could towards their case while running past and dodging other suitcases and bags that were in the way, and were fighting off Heartless that also appeared.
Unfortunately, bad things happened.
First, one flying Air-plane Heartless caught both Riku and Mickey off-guard, pushing them off from the conveyerbelt and onto the one below before the duo were forced to fight it as it came to confront them.
"Riku! Your Majesty/Mickey!" Sora, Kairi, Goofy, Buzz and Slinky cried out, worriedly.
"Just go and save Myde and Woody! We'll be fine!" Riku called up.
Despite the worry, the remaining five knew that he was right. So with a hesitated nod, the group continued on and hopped over another bag. But secondly, Slinky's back-legs got caught on the leather handles and got stuck. It only got worse when that bag was sliding to conveyerbelt to their right as he cried out in alarm.
"Whoa-oa!" Slinky cried out, causing the others to stop as well. "Guys! Guys! My back end's goin' to Baton Rouge!" as he tried to pull himself free but was unable to get a grip on time.
"I'll save you, Slinky!" Goofy hurriedly said as he hurried and grabbed onto Slinky's front legs, but was pulled along with his friend to the other conveyerbelt in full force.
"AHH!/YA-HOO-HOOEE!" Slinky and Goofy both cried out in alarm.
"Goofy! Slinky!" Sora, Kairi and Buzz cried out, horrified.
Despite wanting to hurry to save them, the remaining trio hesitatedly nodded and hurried to catch up to the case, knowing that their friends would have to catch up a little later. However, in front of them was a larger Heartless that materalized, taking the form of several suitcases on it's arms and legs, it's huge yellow eyes glaring down at them to stop them from continuing on.
"Back off!" Sora shouted as he and Kairi both summoned their Keyblades while Buzz also stood into place despite that Donald wasn't here to give him a magic boost to briefly turn his light-bulb into a real Laser. So he would have to rely on his karate-chop actions with his arms.
Sora, Kairi and Buzz jumped out of the way when the Heartless thrusted a fist downward and causing everything in the entire area to shake violently that briefly made the entire system stop and all of the conveyerbelts freeze in their tracks. Well, at least they wouldn't have to worry about being too late at the moment. The trio then attacked at it's arm while avoiding it's other arm in trying to grasp either one of them or all three of them combined.
Sora tossed his Keyblade like a boomarang at it's head, causing it to lean back while being hit twice again. The young Keyblade Master then used his Flowmotion and leaped up on it's chest before thrusting his weapon at it's face with series of combos and slashes and whacks, spinning his Keyblade forward like a baton that spun around almost freely in his hand, causing damage to it several times before leaping down and then attacks it's left arm when it tried to grasp Kairi who was busy whacking it's left leg severel times while jumping away to avoid in getting crushed.
Kairi then casted Fire that burnt off one of the attacted suitcases on it's leg, before thrusting her Keyblade once more at it before leaping out of the way and then switched to it's right leg, repeating the process until she successfully caused it to kneel forward on one knee, which gave her, Sora and Buzz, who had been punching, kicking and karate chopping at the Heartless each time he got up close without getting hit, a better advantage to keep on fighting while it was immobile for a short time as they hurried to defeat it. The trio all charged into it's chest and causing it to roar in agony before they quickly leaped back when it recovered slightly to stand up fully once more.
However, they realised too late when they were about to attack, the Heartless held out it's arms and then flared up at least ten suitcases at them that knocked Sora, Kairi and Buzz back almost five feet away. Despite this, they quickly recovered and Sora casted Curaga on himself and two of his friends to restore their strength and health. Just as Sora and his friends made to attack again, they suddenly found themselves engulfed and swallowed up by the grasp of the Heartless's hand that took form of a brown travel suitcase, sealing it shut and trapping them inside.
When Sora, Kairi and Buzz quickly saw that the Heartless was attempting to devour them into darkness by doing this, all three of them quickly whacked and slashed at the inside of their prison with both Sora and Kairi's Keyblades and Buzz's Karate Chop with most of their strength as fast as they could while getting some damage due to the Heartless slowly trying to swallow them up completely and at last successfully break free from the suitcase hand and leap out back onto the conveyerbelt. The impact of freeing themselves also caused more damage to the Heartless itself. Sora used this to his advantage by going into his Valor Mode and being able to use two Keyblade, double-comboing it as fast as he could.
Kairi and Buzz both attacked it's legs once more while Sora was doing this until they all got the same idea. First Buzz thrusted Sora up with his hands while giving the teenager a boost, which allowed the Keyblade wielder to shoot out a beam of light right at the Heartless's chest before landing next to Kairi who nodded before she materalized a large orb of pink light which Sora whacked right at it's face, weakening it even further despite it still standing firm and becoming more aggressive.
However, the Heartless found that due to the power of light from two Keyblade wielders, it was suddenly paralyzed and frozen and took weak to try to even move. This allowed Sora, Kairi and Buzz to finish it off with the combination of swordsman skills, magic, karate skills, and then finally Buzz chopped at it's right leg that caused it to stumble kneeling position once more and then Sora and Kairi jumped into the air and then with slashed at it's head and chest combined before finally using some of Sora's powers to help both of them levitate and as the two teenagers held hands despite blushing in doing so, held out their Keyblades as two beams of light shot out from their weapons and right through the chest of the Heartless where it fell backwards before disappearing before it could even land on it's back.
The heart floated free from the Heartless's chest and fading into the darkness along with it's body, disappearing forever. Because of the Heartless' defeat, everything in the area returned to fuction and all of the conveyerbelts moved once more. Quickly healing themselves with Sora's Curaga magic, the trio then hurried once more as fast as they could, continuing to dodge the normal luggage until finally they reached the green case as it was nearly at it's destination.
"Okay, guys! Let's go!" Buzz said to Myde and Woody as he and Sora unlocked and opened the case...
Only for the Prospector to emerge and punched Buzz squarely in the face, causing the latter to stumble into Sora and the two then cried out in alarm when they both tripped and fell backwards off the conveyerbelt, much to Kairi's horror.
"Sora! Buzz!" Kairi screamed out, running up to the side, horrified that her two friends had fallen to their deaths.
"They got what they deserved, little girl!" Prospector growled angrily, making to move out and push her over, "And you're goin' with them!"
"Over my dead body, Stinker!" Myde yelled angrily as he and Woody emerged and the former wrapped his arm around the Prospector's neck, attempting to choke him. As cold as it was, no one did that to his friends.
The Prospector, despite being choked, managed to bite onto Myde's arm, causing him to scream in agony before the former tossed him over him and crash onto the conveyerbelt.
"Hey! No one hurts any of my friends!" Woody growled angrily as he shoved his body onto the Prospector, where the two of them rolled out of the case that reclosed and the two rolled and struggled against each other to overpower one another until the Prospector managed to kick Woody off him.
The cowboy doll landed with a thud, while Myde summoned his Styer before he and Kairi who was just as angry with the evil toy attempted to thrust at the Prospector. To their shock, he managed to block them with his pickaxe before he kicked Kairi in the stomach that caused her to stumble back and then punched Myde in the face. The two of them were forced to stumble next to Woody and their weapons dismissed themselves.
The Prospector stormed up to them before using his pickaxe to re-tear the rip on Woody's right arm and despite that it could still move it, Woody cried out, horrified while Myde and Kairi both cried out his name.
"Your choice, boys." Prospector warned and ordered, refusing to allow either of to escape. "You can go to Japan together or in pieces. Woody, if he fixed you once, he can ya' again and you can be fixed as well, Myde. Now get in the box, both of you!"
"Never!" Myde and Woody chorused.
"I'm not letting you force anyone to do what you want against their will! Especially my friends!" Kairi told Prospector angrily as she quickly stood in front of them, her arms spread out to protect them both at the risk of her life.
"Fine! Then I'll finish you off first, brat!" Prospector said, preparing to kill the foolish teenage girl who despite the slight twinge of fear, stoof firmly in her place.
"Kairi!" Myde cried out, horrified.
Just before the Prospector could even do so, however, a familiar Kingdom Key-Keyblade came flying from above and knocked the Prospector's pickaxe out of his grasp before it returned to Sora suddenly came up to three of his friends and stood in front of them with his Keyblade in hand, glaring at the evil toy in front of them.
"If you want Kairi, Myde and Woody, you'll have to go through me!" Sora grunted, angrily.
"Sora!" Kairi, Myde and Woody cried out in huge relief, and the former actually feeling tears form in her eyes.
"You again!" The Prospector growled angrily at the teenaged young man. Before he could pick up his own weapon, however...
"Now, guys!" Sora called up suddenly.
At Sora's signal, suddenly flashes of blinking light stunned the Prospector who was blinded due to the constant flash that forced them to shield his eyes, as above all five of them were Buzz, the rest of the worldly travellers including Riku, Mickey and Goofy, and the other toys including Slinky were using the Camera set the other group found earlier before jumping down and landed on the other conveyerbelt.
With the Prospector being unable to see, he realised too late what happened when Terra appeared behind him and grasped him by the back of his shirt.
"No, you don't!" Terra smirked as he held a firm grip.
Despite being captured, with his sight quickly returning, the Prospector glared at all of Andy's toys, shouting, "Idiots! These fools were once children who like all children destory toys! You'll all be ruined, forgotten! Spending eternity rotting in some landfill!"
Myde leaned up close to the Prospector's eyes and said firmly, "That's not true for all kids, Stinky Pete. Sure toys don't last forever and neither do people...but guess what? Even museums don't last forever. For all you know, there might be an Earthquake and the museum caves in or somethin'. Besides that, if it weren't for Sora and the others here, none of us, not even you would be here right now."
He then smirked and added, "And you'd be surprise that some kids keep their toys even when they do grow up and give them to their own kids to play with." before chuckling as he and the others knew what was coming up next.
"And speaking of children, I think it's time you learned the true meaning of playtime." Woody smirked, playfully pulling at the Prospector's face, before turning to something behind him and everyone else, "Right over there, guys!"
When the Prospector saw what Woody was pointing at, his eyes widened in sheer horror as everyone walked towards it with him trapped in Terra's grasp.
"No, no-ho! Nooooo!" The Prospector screamed in horror, but it was too late and his final fate has been decided.
The Prospect had been shoved into the front netting of a little girl's pink dolly back that slid out of the baggage room and right down to the pick-up conveyerbelt. The owner, a little girl being close to five years old, was holding a girl doll as she picked up her bag, and found, to her young gullible mind thought, it was a new toy given to her.
And boy was this doll ugly. But at least she had a new toy to play with.
"Look, dolly! A big ugly man doll! Ooh, he needs a make-over." The little girl squeeled while placing her plastic beautiful doll next to the Prospector in the net before placing the back onto her back.
The Prospector, coming to life, could only gasp worriedly.
"Hi!" The girl doll greeted, as her face was turned to the right. "You'll like Amy."
When she turned her face to face him, the Prospector gasped in shock when his new companion's face had the right side of her face painted on with a little mini colourful rainbow and a bunch of other make-up. "She's an artist." The girl doll said, dreamingly.
Doomed to his fate of having an owner for the first time and doomed to be decorated, the Prospector could only whimper and sob in despair while the little girl named Amy happily rejoined her parents.
"Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha ha ha!" Myde bursted out into a hysterical laughter as he and his friends watched the Prospector disappear to be a little girl's new toy.
"Well, that's one way to get rid of an old stubborn bad guy." Lea teasingly said, chuckling.
"Served him right." Isa smirked, amused.
"Oh man!" Myde laughed, catching his breath while wiping away tears of laughter that formed. "That's even better than him setting his butt on fire while trying to put out the fuse of the dynamite on the last episode of Woody's Roundup."
"He seriously did that in the show?" Isa asked, struggling not to laugh.
Lea on the other hand, chuckled while trying not to burst out into a hysterical laughter. "Not the brightest idea in the world."
"That's what I said." Myde smirked.
"Guys! Hurry!" Sora called up to the trio.
When Myde, Lea and Isa turned to see that all of their friends had successfully got Jessie and Bullseye out of the case, they were almost to the end of the road. Realising what it meant, the trio quickly rejoined them and stood on the sidelines of the platforms that weren't moving and watched as the now empty case save for the foam inside slid all the way down to be packed up to board the plane, while the workers were fully unaware of the events that unfolded.
"That was close!" Rex said, sighing in relief.
"I agree." Skuld nodded.
"Is everybody alright?" Mickey asked, and was relieved when everyone said that they were.
Well...physhically at least.
"I don't know what to do now." Jessie mumured, rubbing her arms nervously. Not only that the Prospector had betrayed her into a life that she realised wasn't meant for her, or Bullseye, or Woody, and also that Myde and his friends were not toys at all, though she still didn't understand how it was possible.
She got some comfort when Woody hugged her and, Jessie in response hugged him in return, as he was one of her true friends all along.
"It's okay, Jess'. It's time to take you home." Woody said.
Hearing this, Jessie backed away slightly and asked her greatest fear, "What if Andy doesn't like me?"
"Nonsense, Andy'll love you." Woody said, smiling, before adding as he also forgot another detail, "Besides, he's got a little sister."
"He does!?" Jessie asked, excitedly when she heard this. "Why didn't you say so? That's so great!"
"Glad to see that worry's already solved. Now Jess' can still be with her friends, have new cool owners and make new friends too." Myde smiled, happily, which surprised all of his companions who stared at him, stunned. This confused him at their expressions. "What?"
"Who are you and what've you done to Myde?" Lea asked, suspiciously.
Myde rolled his eyes, "Ah, c'mon. I may be a total slacker and most of the times a complete whimp, doesn't mean I don't care for any of my friends, both old and new."
Despite the surprising slight change in their mullet-haired companion, Sora and the others all smiled, rather proudly and happily at their friend. While his words while true, Myde had mutured due to his time being with Woody, Jessie and Bullseye and even had risked his life to go with to Japan as he didn't want to abandon the three of them, and even fought against the Prospector to save Kairi from being pushed over with Sora and Buzz.
"Ah, I'm just kiddin'." Lea laughed, giving the younger man a slight punch on the shoulder. "Ya' did great, Myde."
"For once, he's right. You sticked to Woody's side rather than going out on your own when he needed help the most." Isa said with a warm smile. "You were great, Myde."
"Besides that, you're a tough fighter too and a good friend." Sora added.
It was Myde's turn to be stunned, and when he glanced around at everyone who all nodded and/or smiled at him, he felt very emotional as tears began to well up in his eyes, though he tried so hard to avoid in having his feelings get the better of him.
"Oh, guys...that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me..." Myde sniffled and tried very hard not to cry.
Seeing how Myde was about to cry, Woody, in slight embarrassment, suggested to all of his toy friends, "Lets...go home."
Later that night when Sora's group and Woody's group returned to Andy's room by hijacking the suit-case cart from the Airport as it was their quickest transport, while the rest of Andy's toys were happily reunited with their friends, especially Woody and welcomed Jessie, Bullseye and even the three toy aliens(who couldn't stop giving their gratitude to Mr. Potato Head, much to his annoyance) to their new home. all of Andy's Toys made a welcome home sign as they piled up on Andy's bed while the worldly travellers hid underneath the bed to wait until Andy left the room for a short time to give their final goodbyes to their new friends as things were now alright in this exciting and fun world.
As on cue, a seven year old boy was happily singing to himself when he came running into his room, having short brown hair, a T-shirt with a Cowboy design, shorts, red shoes and a red cowboy hat, before he used a chair to climb up a shelf where his mother placed Woody onto days earlier when he left for Cowboy camp.
"Hey, Woody!" Andy, the boy greeted, only to be slightly saddened and confused when his favorite toy wasn't there. "Woody?"
As soon as he turned to see where else Woody was, Andy was greatly surprised and happily delighted where he saw all of the toys on his bed. Not knowing the full truth of the adventure that happened, the boy thought it was a welcome home toy party and what's more, give new toys were added; a Cowgirl, a Horse which Woody was riding on, arm still broken but that didn't faze him, and the three alien toys from the Buzz Lightyear franchise.
"Oh, wow! New toys! Cool!" Andy said happily, quickly grabbing Woody, Bullseye, Jessie and Buzz to quickly play with, calling to his mother outside of his room, "Thanks, Mom!"
The young seven year old happily played with all four toys with his very powerful imagination for at least half an hour until Andy's mother called down that dinner was ready. A bit disappointed to stop the game in his short time in being home, Andy obeyed and told all of the toys that he'll be back, as though they were actual people.
When he closed the door behind him, all of the toys came to life once more, while the worldly travellers came out from their hiding, all smiling.
"I like him. Fine young man. Very energetic." Jack admitted.
"You were right, Woody!" Jessie said happily, already contend to her new life despite being called Bazooka Jane, but even she liked that name. "Andy's better than Emily!"
"Told ya' he'd love you." Woody smiled.
"Ya' know, call me crazy, but Andy kinda reminds me of myself when I was a little kid." Sora spoke up, smiling warming after watching the seven year old boy happily play. Riku and Kairi both nodded in agreement.
"I think we can all agree that all kids are energetic." Lea chuckled.
"Welp, looks like things are alright now." Mickey said.
"Uh...almost." Riku couldn't help but comment.
Wondering what he was talking about, most of everyone turned to see that Mr. Potato Head was giving pleasure to Mrs. Potato Head by smooching her arm, until that moment is ruined when the three alien toys came up to them, and repeated their gratitude, which made him groan and mentally wished that the three annoying toys would just leave him alone.
"You saved their lives?" Mrs. Potato Head asked, stunned that her husband had done such a heroic and kind act, hugging him, "Oh, my hero!"
To his further dismay, Mrs. Potato Head was cooing at him and what she said finally possibly was the worst thing of his life.
"And they're so adorable!" Mrs. Potato Head hugged one of them before declaring as she already made up her mind, "Let's adopt them!"
"Daaaadddy!" All three of the alien toys squeeled happily like children, gathering around their hero who was now their adoptive father, hugging him.
"Oh, no." Mr. Potato Head groaned softly in utter dismay.
"Ooookay..." Terra muttered, freaked out now.
"That's so sweet. I'm so happy for them." Aqua said, smiling at the adorable scene.
"Oh, brother." Donald rolled his eyes at the scene, and felt sorry for Mr. Potato Head. Especially since he knew what was like to take care of triplets, like his own nephews back at Disney Castle.
Just then, Woody gave out a startled cry as his hat was glowing magically and floating off his head. While the toys were stunned by this strange event, the worldly travellers knew what this meant. With a nod, Sora materialized his Keyblade before holding out the weapon, the crown shape appearing underneath him as the world's Keyhole appeared via a beam of light shooting out from Woody's hat. Sora then thrusted the Kingdom Key upward and via another beam of light, he locked up the world's keyhole, protecting it from the darkness before things returned to normal.
"Whoa, Nelly!" Slinky blinked, stunned. "What was that?"
"Don't worry. The world's safe from darkness now." Riku told them.
"Are you leaving?" Jessie asked, saddened as she and the other toys gazed at Sora's group.
"Yeah. Time for me and the others to go. Got other worlds to help out and all." Myde said, sad to leave this world behind.
"Thanks for all of your help, guys." Woody said, saddened but understanding.
"If you're able to, come back anytime." Buzz added.
"Will do!" Sora promised.
After sharing a fond goodbye to the living toys that had become their friends, the worldly travellers once more left Andy's room out of the window and once in a safe hiding place, teleported back to the gummiship to leave this world behind with a new lesson and fond memories, and flew off to another world that was calling out to them to continue on their quest to find the Book of Propchies, locate Yen Sid, Angeal and Genesis, stop Aced from doing anything more risky and find a way to stop and defeat Chaos and if they had to, Bhunivelze to save the Realm of Light once more.
