Chapter 28

After much traveling in the streets, the group arrived at Galaxy Toys. Everyone was amazed at all the toys that were displayed and the size of the building.

"Check out all these cool stuff!", said Natsu.

"Hey what's that?", asked Happy as he pointed at a Gigas display.

"That's a Gigas.", answered Hamm. "It's a giant robot from Yozora's game."

"Robot?"

"It's a mechanical device that is armed with weapons and you can control it."

"Awsome!"

"Hey, why doesn't it move?", asked Sora.

"I guess it hasn't figured it out.", answered Woody.

"Figured what out?", asked Wendy.

Then, they all heard someone say, "I can make it move for you."

"Look up there!", said Juvia pointing at the platform on the giant gumball machine.

There was a dark portal on there and a man in a black coat was their. The man removed his hood, revealing to be Young Xehanort.

"You're from the dream-the first of the Xehanorts!"

"He is a younger version of Xehanort?", asked Erza.

"He is.", said Natsu. "I can smell Ansem and Xemnas on him!"

"I'm so honored you remember me. And it is a pleasure to meet you, Fairy Tail.", said Young Xehanort.

Xehanort then snap his fingers and summon the toy Heartlesses from before. One of them jump on to the Gigas display, open up the hatch in the front, and enter the hatch. The Gigas began to move and jumped down on to the floor, in front of Sora.

"Oh no! He can move!", said a astonished Woody.

"Way cool!", said an excited Hamm.

The Gigas then began to attack Hamm with its robot fist. Hamm yelped in fear.

"Look out!", yelled Sora as he, Donald, and Goofy ran up towards Hamm and the attack with their weapons while Woody grabbed Hamm and move him away from the Gigas that the trio were holding back.

"One heart's shadows fill the emptiness of another. See how they bring him to life? Like Heartless and Nobodies, they fit together.", said Xehanort.

"What does that mean?", asked Lucy. "And why are you doing this?!"

"There's a darkness we are missing and must reclaim. The way hearts connect in this world can provide us with a clue. So we made a copy of the world and then pulled those hearts apart."

"A copy world? So this is all a allusion?", question Charle.

"Sort of. But everything here is real."

"Is it like that other Twilight Town?", question Lily.

"I don't know.", answered Sora, still struggling on keeping the robot at bay.

"I wonder how you'll handle the strain.", said Xehanort as he summon a dark corridor.

"Wait! What does that mean?", asked Sora.

"Don't let me down."

But before he could leave, Natsu was right behind him and said, "Give Woody's friends back!"

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Natsu's fist came straight towards Xehanort's back. But Xehanort dodge the attack, grab his arm, and throwed him back at the group. Natsu yelped and crashed on to the floor.

"Natsu!", yelled Lucy and Happy.

"They were right. You do have power raging inside of you.", said Xehanort. "I wonder how this journey will affect you."

"Wait!", said Natsu as he got back up. But Xehanort already pass through the dark corridor.

After sometime, the Gigas powered up its arm and pushed Sora, Donald, and Goofy away. Woody caught Sora while Buzz caught Donald and Goofy. Rex, Hamm, the army men, and the aliens hid behind a plant, looking terrified.

"Woody! What is going on?", asked Buzz. "Is this toy a friend...or foe?"

"I think we've got our answer.", said Woody as he got into fighting position.

"If someone attacks your friends, it is a foe!", said Laxus.

The Gigas then powered up its arm cannon and began firing at them non stop. Sora, Woody, Lucy, Natsu, Happy, and Wendy ran one direction while the others ran to another.

"I don't like robots! I don't like robots!", shouted a scared Happy.

"Sora! You're up!", shouted Donald.

"Yeah! If the Heartless know how to do it, there's no reason you can't.", said Goofy as he pointed at a non-working Gigas behind Sora.

Sora look behind and said, "Brilliant! I'm on it!"

Lucy came up and said, "Let me help! There's another one over there!"

"Okay!"

"But I want to do it!", shouted Natsu.

"You'll just get sick inside it.", Lucy responded.

Both of them ran up to their one Gigas and jump into it.

"Wait, how do I control this?", asked Lucy.

"Just move the sticks in any direction simultaneously and fire with the buttons on top of the sticks.", Sora explained.

Both Gigases Sora and Lucy were piloting jump down from their platform and in front of the enemies.

"We'll take care of the smaller enemies while you two fight the robots!", Erza commanded as she change into her Black Wing Armor.

"Eat this!", said Sora as he charged at the robot.

Sora tackle the robot and throwed it against the wall. Lucy fired lasers at the robots, making them short circuit and then exploding.

"This is the coolest thing I ever seen!", said an excited Natsu.

"Aye!", said Happy.

A toy Heartless began to sneak behind Natsu and Happy.

"Natsu behind you!", shouted Woody.

Before the Heartless could make its move, Natsu grab its head and burt it.

"Never mind.", said a frighten Woody.

"Ice-Make:Cannon!"

"Blizzard!"

"Water Slicer!"

Gray, Donald, and Juvia defeated Heartlesses near the register while Goofy, Buzz, Wendy, Charle and Lily defeated Heartlesses near the gumball machine.

"Moon Flash!"

"Iron Dragon's Lance: Demon Logs!"

"Raging Bolt!"

Erza, Gajeel, and Laxus fired some spells the Heartlesses that were on the shelves, defeating all of them.

"Ah! This one's tough!", said Lucy as she was holding a Gigas back.

"I got it!", said Sora and he fired some laser balls at the Gigas attacking Lucy.

"Thanks!"

"There is still one left!"

The last Gigas was a purple one and it started firing rapid laser balls at Sora and Lucy.

"How will we defeat it now?!", asked Lucy.

"I got this!", shouted Natsu as he ran up towards the Gigas.

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!"

Natsu headbutted the Gigas in the abdomen, destroying it.

After destroying the last Gigas, both Sora and Lucy exit their Gigases.

"He was being controlled?", question Buzz. "He wasn't just switched into battle mode by accident?"

"Buzz?", asked Sora.

Buzz sighed. "It's nothing."

"I'm confused.", said Woody. "That guy in the black coat-did he say he made a copy of the real world? What's that mean?"

Sora thought for a moment, then said, "It...prob'ly means they split this world in two-your friends in one world, us in the other. Only one of the worlds is real, and the other is just really convincing."

"They can do that?", asked Laxus.

"Yeah. They did it in a place called Traverse Town."

"You can't be serious.", said a disbelieving Buzz. "Oh! That's right, you're from a video game. Well, maybe in your game, that's how things work...but here in reality, you can't 'split worlds.' This is ridiculous. Woody, let's go."

"Wait! Don't you want to find your friends?", asked Lucy.

"I do. But this situation is getting us nowhere."

"I admit, it does sound just a little far-fetched.", said Woody. "But...say we have been taken to some kind of alternate world. That would explain why your laser's real. And is it really that crazy? Worse than 'evil emperors' and 'protecting the galaxy'? Any of that ring a bell?"

"You protect the galaxy?!", asked Natsu as he came up to Buzz's face. "That sounds awesome!"

"Aye!", said Happy.

Buzz backed away from Natsu and cleared his throat. "Point taken. But that just means these strangers are part of the delusion. And I say it's time we parted ways and went home."

"Thought we were friends, not strangers.", said a disappointed Goofy.

"Look, I get that it seems weird, but we know something's wrong with this place. We should stick together.", said Sora.

"If you leave us, you will be expose to even greater threats.", said Erza.

"Sora and Erza are right. They helped with the intruders, so they might help find our friends.", said Woody as Buzz started walking away. "They have been there for us so far. You can't deny that. Come on. Every toy deserves a fair shake. Am I right?"

"Tell it to that toy over there.", said Buzz as he pointed at the unresponsive Gigas.

Woody gasp.

"What the hell your problem?", asked an angry Natsu. "Your friends are waiting for you and you're just gonna give up because you're suspicious of us? Were trying to help and you're just running away!"

"I do want to find my friends", said Buzz. "But who do I trust?"

Just then, the sarge came up to the group and said, "Sherriff, sir! Rex has just been dino-napped!"

"What's that!", asked a shock Woody while everyone gasp.

"T-Rex gone missing!", said Happy.

"My men saw him get hauled up to the second floor, sir!", said the sarge as he pointed at the second floor. "And Hamm and the Aliens are MIA."

"He kidnapped the Aliens?!", Natsu growled furiously. "That guy has gone too far! We need to save them!"

"Come on. We have got to find them!", said Woody.

"That's what I'm saying!"

"Please, let us help!", said Sora.

"Yeah!", said everyone.

Woody turned around towards Buzz and asked, "Well, Buzz? Do you really think we can save our friends on our own? We didn't get very far before. We gotta take all the help we can get."

"Don't worry. Sora can be reckless, and Donald grumbles a lot. But you can trust 'em", said Goofy as Sora and Donald were astound upon what they were hearing.

"Hey! He suspects you, too!", Donald responded.

"Huh? He does?"

"And let's not forget Fairy Tail.", said Sora. "They maybe crazy and rebuncious, but you can trust them."

"What do you mean by that?", asked Gajeel.

Everyone then started to laugh.

"See, they don't seem bad.", said Woody. "Am I right, Buzz?"

"Okay, fine. We do need the extra help.", said Buzz. "But just so we're clear: I remain skeptical about this. I'll work with you till we find our friends."

"Ohhh...kay.", Sora responded.

"Thanks for the help, guys.", said Woody.

"My troops will return to the field, sir!", said the sarge as all the soldiers saluted.

Everyone then went up to the giant gumball machine. As they looked up, Buzz pressed a button on his suit and summon rectangle wings on his back.

"This ascent is gonna be rather tricky.", he said.

"Too bad we're not strapped to a rocket, huh?", said Woody as he leaned on Buzz's wings.

Buzz press the button again, making his wings disappears and making Woody lose his balance.

"Hey! Think we could use that?", asked Sora as pointed at the grind rails above the gumball machine, each one leading to a different level.

"It's perfect.", said Woody. "C'mon, guys!"

"I hope the toys are okay.", said Wendy.

Lucy grabbed Buzz's shoulder and said, "All we want is for you to be reunited with Andy. Can you please trust us?"

"I will work with you until I get my friends back.", Buzz responded, making Lucy sigh.

"Don't worry Rex and Aliens, we'll save you!", shouted Natsu.
