Maleficent turned her head slightly to the other person standing beside her, "Do not let their appearance fool you… if you are not careful, they will destroy you." She said coldly, turning to look at Zashi, wielding the keyblade, "I did not think a dark heart could wield the keyblade…what is this?" she thought, looking at the black keyblade, she cracked a wicked smile, "that boy does not know the power contained in that weapon…" Maleficent whispered to herself, the other turned to listen, but she would not repeat herself.
Still starring at Maleficent, Zashi tried to make words form, but they would not come, "Zashi, quit gawking at whatever you are looking at and start thinking!" Cloud shouted, trying to get his attention, but slowly Zashi uttered, "Maleficent…" A bead of sweat ran down Cloud's face at the mention of her name and he slowly turned to look at the windowsill, and sure enough, she was standing beside another toy. Jesse and Woody also took notice of Maleficent and the other toy standing on the windowsill, when Woody pointed and shouted, "That's Emperor Zurg!" They all looked at him from the outburst, but when they looked at the windowsill, the pair was gone; Woody was the first to start climbing on the bed sheets and toward the desk, and jumped onto the windowsill. Everyone soon followed after him, while Woody was already looking out the window for them, "Wow…I've never seen a toy move that fast…or at all for that matter…well… Before this I mean…" Zashi was rambling when they finally reached Woody.
"Darn! They vanished right before us!" Woody banged his fist on the window, making a light noise, "I had no idea Maleficent was still alive…I thought she was banished to the Underworld…" Cloud stated in disbelief, but then revelation dawned on Zashi, and put a fist into his open hand, "Oh yeah…I forgot about all that stuff…" Everyone turned to listen to Zashi, "What do you mean 'stuff'?" Cloud asked, Zashi lowered his head, gathering his thoughts, "Well…In my world, Kingdom Hearts was a video game…" Cloud raised a brow, "a video game?" Zashi nodded, "Yea…it was a really cool game, but that's not the point; the point is they made all kinds of toys to go along with it…" Cloud starred out the window, "You're saying that they made toys of the main characters from the game? And now they are alive here?" Zashi nodded his head and took another look at his hands, "I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be a toy…"
Turning from Zashi, Cloud focused his attention to Woody and Jesse, who were intently looking out the window. "Do you know of a place where they would go?" They both looked at Cloud, and shook their heads, but then Woody got an idea, "well Emperor Zurg came from a toy store about a days walk from here." Cloud nodded, "that sounds like a good idea, we should check the toy store first…" turning to Zashi, who was still fascinated with being a toy, but his hands down at this side, and nodded his head, "Yea we need to deal with Maleficent too…"
They tried to open the window to sneak down, but it was no use, none of them were strong enough to open it, but Woody put his hands to his lips and whistled. Within moments, a little brown Labrador dog bounded into the room, looking in the direction of the sound. "Good boy Buster! Now you need to drop us outside all right?" Woody asked the dog, who nodded understanding him. Zashi dropped his jaw, looking at the dog, "wow…" he walked to Buster and started feeling his wet nose, which seemed to drench his hand, shaking the liquid from his hand, he crawled up and sat on Buster's back, and said to Cloud, "Come on Cloud! We are going to ride on a dog!" Cloud looked at the dog and shrugged his shoulders, "well…as long as it does not have an extra pair of heads…" Zashi helped him onto the dog, and they trotted down the stairs, with Woody being the look out for the people, and when it was clear, Buster walked straight for the doggie door, and pushed through, revealing the afternoon sun. The group got off, and Woody scratched behind Buster's ear, "Who's a good boy? That's right, you are!" he said and the dog responded by giving Woody a big kiss, leaving him full of slobber.
