Chapter 30
The flying saucer headed to a play area in the store. The group followed the saucer into the store and saw the green Aliens standing there.
"There they are!", said Happy.
"They have come for us.", said on of the Aliens as they walked closer to the saucer.
"The mystic portal awaits.", said another.
The saucer came over their heads and used a giant claw to grab them.
"Oh no!", said Buzz.
"Wait!", shouted Sora.
"Stop!", shouted Woody.
"Farewell!", said the Aliens as the saucer took them away.
"It's getting away!", shouted Wendy.
"After it!", Erza commanded.
"Hey, Lily!", shouted Gajeel.
Lily summon his wings, grab Gajeel, and flew after the saucer.
"Iron Dragon's Club!"
Gajeel punched the saucer with his transform club, making it loose balance and fall towards the ground. Seeing the saucer over his head, Natsu kicked the saucer over to Sora. Sora saw the saucer coming, he gripped his Keyblade and slice through the saucer when it came at him.
The saucer dropped the Aliens and crashed after receiving the multiple attacks.
"We save them!", said Natsu and Happy.
"We are back!", said one of them.
"Our ship is no more!", said another.
"Nirvana will not be reached.", said another.
"They were trying to kidnap them and they only care about leaving?!", said an irritated Gray.
"I know that ship was trying to hurt them…", said Wendy. "But I feel bad for destroying their ride."
Sora picked up one of the Aliens and said, "Sorry I trashed your ride."
"Fear not.", the Alien responded.
"We still have our new home.", said another Alien.
"The Chamber of Andy.", they all said.
"Those guys are really weird.", Lucy said with a sweat drop.
"They're right.", said Buzz. "This isn't where we belong. We've been in this toy store long enough. It's time for us to go home to Andy's room."
"But...Xehanort told us that room isn't even his real room.", said Sora.
"If you go back, you won't be able to find a way to reach Andy.", said Lucy.
"Can you prove that any of that nonsense is true?", asked Buzz. "And even if that Andy's room is fake, it doesn't mean he's not somewhere in this world with us. I'm going home to wait for him. No more debate. You with me, Woody?"
"Hmm… You're right, Buzz.", said Woody. "Now that we're all accounted for, we should meet up at the entrance and go home."
"Okay.", said Sora. "We could have used friends like you for the final showdown…"
"But Organization XIII's our problem to solve.", said Goofy.
"I know they're tough.", said Laxus. "But I don't think they would last against them."
"Yeah, I can take 'em!", said a determined Donald.
"Yeah, right.", said Natsu, Gray, and Happy.
"I'll show ya!", he responded angrily as he chased after them.
"Guys, can we see you off?", asked Sora.
"That would be great.", Woody responded.
They all reached the entrance of the toy store, where the others were waiting.
When they reached the others, Woody then said, "Sarge, roll call."
"Sir, yes sir!", the Sarge responded. "Roll call! All toys, fall in!"
All of the got into straight row while Buzz. He then started listing the toys that were here. "Sarge… Army Men times four...Hamm… Aliens 1, 2, 3… Wait. Where's Rex?"
"Rex has been kidnaped again?!", asked Natsu.
"Don't jump to conclusions!", said Lucy.
"Naw, he took off.", said Hamm. "Said he wanted to prove to you you could trust Sora. He's up there by the video games."
Buzz sighed, "Well, here we go again."
"This is about us?", asked Lucy.
Sora step in and said, "He's not safe. The Heartless are out there."
You're right.", said Woody. "Any chance you guys can help us one last time?"
"Yeah!", they all responded.
"So what are video games?", asked Gajeel.
Woody sighed and explained.
They all entered the game store, where they saw Rex on top of a Verum Rex display with a bunch of video game cases with the title on it.
"I found it!", he shouted with joy.
Rex then jumped down from the display with the case, ran up to Sora, and shoved it in his face.
"Look! Look! I found it! See, Sora?"
The cover showed the title's name at the top with the silver hair boy, sitting on steps with his red blade in one hand and his crossbow in the other, at the bottom.
Sora examine it and said, "Well, I never look this good. The clothes kinda match."
"He does look like him.", said Erza.
"Minus the silver hair.", Lauxs pointed out.
"He looks cool!", said Wendy.
"Oh, and I found the other games too!", said Rex as he grabbed other cases with the title Final Fantasy on it and handed each one to the members of Fairy Tail.
"Since when do I have blond hair and carry a gun?", question Natsu.
"You still look cool, buddy!", said Happy.
Lucy open up the Final Fantasy IV case and saw a picture of Rydia inside. "Oh, wow. She pretty.", she said.
Erza examine the cover of Final Fantasy XIII. "Our physiques do look the same and her weapon look really impressive."
Gray looked at the back of his box. "Seeing him dress like that, it remind me of the time I was a prince in that play."
"Gray-sama, Juvia looks prettier than she does, right?", asked Juvia as she shoved the Final Fantasy X box in his face, making him back away from her.
"So is this how these people dress in this?", question Gajeel while looking at Crisis Core-Final Fantasy VII.
"Gotta be.", said Lily. "This one looks like he can handle things on his own."
Laxus examine the cover Final Fantasy XIV. "Judging by the looks of things, everyone must've been involved in a terrible war."
"She really pretty!", said Wendy as she examined Final Fantasy IX
"You're appearance and hair style really matches her.", said Charle.
Woody and Buzz walked up to a cardboard stand of Verum Rex, showing the same image that is on the game cover.
"Whaddaya know!", said Woody with surprise. "They are video game figures. See? I told ya, Buzz. They're toys, just like the rest of us."
"Well, I suppose.", said an unsure Buzz.
Sora went up to Donald and whispered, "Donald, I thought your magic decided how I look. Explain."
"Simple. That's not you.", Donald answered.
"Say, Riku would make a great action figure!", Goofy pointed out.
"Must be him!", said Donald.
"It could be a combination of both!", Happy suggested.
"No! It's me.", said Sora. "I've got the black clothes and, uh…"
"So what?", Donald asked sarcastically.
"All right, everyone.", said Buzz. "Now that we're back together, it's time to return to Andy's room."
"Now? But can't I at least check the strategy guides? I want to know how to beat Bahamut!", said an eager Rex as he was shuffling through the game manuals on the shelf.
Buzz came up to him, put his hand on Rex's back, and said, "Next time. Right now, we need to go home."
Rex looked disappointed he could read the guide in the book and everyone made their way towards the exit. As they were about to leave, someone calmly said, "Oh, but you needn't rush off."
Everyone turned around and saw Young Xehanort in front of them.
"Xehanort!", shouted Sora as he and everyone else summon their weapons.
"You aren't getting away with this!", said Lucy.
"I have more to observe.", said Xehanort. "I can't let you leave yet."
"It's us that you really want.", said Sora. "Leave the others out of this."
"And return them to Andy!", said Lucy.
Xehanort chuckled. "You would say that, champion of light and Fairy Tail. Very well, let's skip to the final stage."
While everyone was focusing on Xehanort, a Marionette crept behind Buzz. Buzz gasped as the Heartless swiped it's hand on his back and disappeared. Buzz began to breathe heavily.
Rex took notice of this and asked worriedly, "Buzz? What's the matter?"
Immediately, Buzz jumped and turn towards Woody, with his laser arm pointing right at him while Rex gasped.
Woody saw Buzz's laser and looked the surprised. But then he said annoyingly, "C'mon, Buzz. Quit fooling around."
"Look out!"
Goofy, seeing that Buzz is not joking, jumped in front of Woody with his shield up as Buzz fired a laser blast at them.
Woody looked shock. "I can't believe it! Buzz has been taken over?"
Buzz kept firing at the two while Xehanort summon Heartless to surround the Fairy Tail members.
"What did you do to him?!", Sora asked demandingly as he, Sora, and Lucy ran up to strike him, but Xehanort vanished before they could land a hit on him.
"Face us, bastard!", yelled Natsu.
"And stop this at once!", yelled Lucy.
Xehanort then appeared next to them, casually walking and said, "I thought I made it clear. I am testing the strength of their bonds."
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Natsu attempted to hit Xehanort in the face, but he then vanished yet again and appearing next to the shelf.
"In this world, toys have hearts. And those hearts come from a powerful bond."
Sora ran up and strike him from behind, but vanished and appearing on top of the shelf next to them.
"So what happens when those bonds are stretched to their limits? When they are worlds apart, can cloth and plastic hold on to their hearts?"
All three of them ran up to him and tried the same strategy as before, but it don't work.
"Dammit! Would you hold still?!", said an irritated Natsu.
Xehanort kept continuing to to vanished as the three of them kept attacking, while saying, "All I needed was a wedge to widen the divide-someone like you to fill them with distrust and doubt. And that chasm you created can be filled with a vast darkness."
"Enough!", said Lucy. "Andy's toys are not your experiments. They are living beings!"
Lucy jumped off from the shelf and tried to attack him with her whip, but vanished yet again. Natsu and Sora jumped off to check on Lucy while Xehanort appeared right behind them.
"Is that so?", he question Lucy. "Then witness it for yourself."
"Sora!", Donald shouted.
All three of them saw the rest of Fairy Tail trying to defeat the Heartless. Donald and Rex had grab Buzz and try to hold him back from shooting at Goofy and Woody, both who were still trying to block Buzz's attacks with Goofy's shield.
"Do somethiiing!", shouted a desperate Rex.
"I'm sorry, Buzz!", shouted Lucy as she used her whip to bind and subdue Buzz, stopping his attack on Goofy and Woody.
But Buzz turned towards Lucy with a cold expression, lifted, and pointed his bound laser hand at her. Natsu came in and blocked the attack Buzz fired.
"On my way!", said Sora.
But before he ran after them, Xehanort grabbed Sora's wrist firmly and pulled Sora towards him. Sora struggled to get away, but couldn't as Xehanort's grip was tight.
"Happy, go help him!", said Lucy.
"Aye, sir!", Happy responded as he flew straight towards the two.
"Not this time!", said Xehanort as he summon a dark energy orb from his free hand and blasted Sora and Happy into the air, sending him inside a TV screen with the words Verum Rex: Beat of Lead.
"Sore! Happy!", shouted everyone.
Sora crashed on to a metal floor while Happy landed on his back. Both looked up and saw they were at a construction like factory during nighttime.
"Where are we?", asked Sora.
"Look, Sora!", said Happy. "It's those Gigases from the store!"
"Haven't you heard?"
Xehanort's voice was heard throughout the area.
"In this world, you come from a video game. So now, you can watch my experiment from inside that screen."
"Hey, let us out right now!", Happy demanded angrily. "You don't want to mess with me!"
"I told you. We are still testing their bonds. You'll just have to watch the results."
"That is...if you manage to find a moment's rest."
Before he could leave, Xehanort grunted in pain and collapsed on his knees.
"What just happen?", he asked. I feel a sharp pain in my back!
Xehanort turned around and saw that his back was covered in blood. He then a sword that was made of…
"An ice sword?"
He then looked up and saw Gray behind him holding the sword.
"How did you-?"
"Don't underestimate us.", said Gray as he pulled the sword out of Xehanort's wound.
Xehanort also saw that Buzz was trap in a mountain of ice and the Heartless he summon were all defeated.
"Damn you."
"Looks like we took care of your goons.", Gray said as he pointed the sword at Xehanort's face. "Now here is what you're going to do: release Sora and Happy from that game, turn Buzz back to normal, and return the toys to Andy."
Erza came up and said, "It be wise that you would cooperate."
Natsu then ran up to Xehanort, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted, "Give back Happy and Sora back! You spiky haired bastard!"
Xehanort grunted in pain, then smirked. "You Fairies are really troublesome. Very well, since you claim that your bonds are strong, let's put that to the test."
"You guys!", shouted Donald. "Buzz is breaking through the ice!"
Everyone then saw a redness inside the ice, as Buzz was trying to break free using his laser.
Before anyone could act, Xehanort had dark energy surrounding his hand and then waved his hand. The Final Fantasy games then began to float into the air and a dark like portal appeared in front of the games. Suddenly, all the members of Fairy Tail began to float in the air.
"Wh-what's happening?!", asked a nervous Lucy.
Then a strong gust of wind appeared, pushing everyone away from Xehanort making them yell in pain. Each member of the guild was flown towards one of the Final Fantasy games and entering the dark portals. Natsu and Lily went through the Final Fantasy XV portal, Lucy went through the Final Fantasy IV portal, Gray went through the Final Fantasy Type-0 portal, Erza went through the Final Fantasy XIII portal, Wendy and Charle went through the Final Fantasy IX portal, Juvia went through the Final Fantasy X portal, Gajeel went through the Crisis Core- Final Fantasy VII portal, and Laxus went through the Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood portal.
"Fairy Tail!", shouted Donald and Goofy.
"I wonder how they would handle this?", question Xehanort as he disappeared into a dark corridor.
