Woody gave a nod, "yep that's the place…" getting up from the ground, he turned to help Jesse to her feet, while Zashi helped Cloud. They made their way slowly to the giant set of sliding doors, and walked right to the door, but it would not open. "Huh?" Zashi asked in confusion, "why won't the door open?" he looked around, but there was no other way to open the door, but noticed the black rubber mat just behind them. "I think the door opens when we step on the mat…" Jesse wondered aloud, and stepped onto it, but the door did not open. Slowly they all moved to the mat, but the door still wouldn't open, "maybe we have to jump at the same time?" Cloud asked looking at everyone, "all right on three…" they got ready, "one…two…three!" they jumped as high as they could into the air and landed, suddenly the doors came to life and opened.
Running past the doors, they saw isles and isles of toys and boxes sitting on shelves. "How are we going to find Buzz in all of this…" Woody distressed for a moment, but Zashi put a hand on his shoulder, "don't worry, we will find him." Woody gave a nod; "all right we should probably split and go down the isles by ourselves to cover more ground." Everyone agreed, and they made their way down their own isle. Zashi took the fourth isle and slowly made his way down, looking at the multitude of toys still in their boxes, when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking at one of the packages, he cautiously walked towards it, and studied the writing on the box: Kingdom Hearts Action Figures.
"No way…" Zashi breathed as he looked at the box, and then noticed the figures inside; Sora, Kairi and Riku were behind the plastic seal. Suddenly Sora's eyes shot open, and pointed to Zashi, "Hey…how did you get out of your box?" Zashi gave a shout and landed on his bottom from the sudden scare, but got up "I'm a person." Sora shook his head, "no your not…you're a toy." Riku gave a cold stare, "you definitely look like a toy to me." Zashi's mind raced to prove to them that he was not a toy, "oh yeah?" he asked, "Can a toy do this?" and held his right hand and summoned his keyblade, showing it off. This surprised Sora and the gang, "all right. So you're not a toy, what are you doing here anyway?" Riku asked in a sharp tone, but he was scolded by Kairi, "Riku! He's from the outside world! Beyond the store!" This caught Sora's attention, and quickly turned back to Zashi, "is it true? Are you from the outside world?" Zashi gave a nod, "Yea I'm looking for my friends, and I accidentally came to this world." Riku put his left hand to his chin, "do you know of Maleficent?" This surprised Zashi, "I know she is still in this world…have you guys seen her lately?" They all shook their heads, but then Kairi looked off into the distance, "well…there was the other night…"
Suddenly everyone had their eyes on Kairi, "I saw Maleficent walk down the isle with another toy…I think it was Emperor Zurg or someone but they were talking about the Heartless…" Zashi suddenly took a step backwards and looked at the packages hanging on the wall, "Do you know if the Heartless are still in their packages?" They shook their heads, and Sora gave a laugh, "we are trapped in here, we don't get out much." However Riku suddenly spoke up, "well one of the clerks was complaining that the Heatless figures were always missing…" Zashi looked at Riku, confused "what do you mean 'missing'?" Suddenly Kairi gave a scream, pointing to the ground behind Zashi, who whipped around to see Heartless mold from the spots of inky darkness on the floor. He charged at them, but they simply molded back into the floor and scurried around him, when they came back out, he swung his keyblade at them and destroyed two of the eight Heartless. Sensing they were facing a powerful opponent, the Heartless molded into a single being, who was as tall as Zashi and had glowing yellow eyes. It flexed it's muscles and charged toward Zashi, who also charged, but swung his keyblade too early to hit, and left him wide open to the Heartless's fist to Zashi's stomach, and was knocked back five feet. Catching his breath, Zashi got to his feet and charged again, and instead leaped into the air, and brought his keyblade down on the Heartless's head, causing it to vanish into a cloud of darkness.
"If the Heartless can do that kind of thing on this world…what are they capable of on other worlds?" Zashi wondered to himself, holding his keyblade in hand…
