Chapter 26: Toy Box Journal Entries

* Sora (Toy Box Form)- A boy who wields a Keyblade. Having previously surmounted countless challenges, he was at last given a chance to complete the Mark of Mastery examination, but the attempt ended in failure. He was overtaken by darkness, and lost nearly all his powers and strength in the process. Together with Donald and Goofy, he has set forth on a new adventure to reclaim that lost strength and acquire the Power of Waking in order to prepare for the looming battle with Master Xehanort. In this world, Donald's magic turned him into a toy action figure that bears a close resemblance to game character Yozora.

* Donald Duck (Toy Box Form) {The Wise Little Hen (1934)}- Mickey's court magician and a loyal friend. Donald has journeyed with Sora many times to keep the worlds safe. He has pledged to help Sora through the trials ahead. His Form magic turned him into a spell-slinging action figure to blend in with this world's inhabitants.

* Goofy (Toy Box Form) {Mickey's Revue (1932)/Two Weeks Vacation (1952)}- The captain of Mickey's royal knights and a loyal friend. Goofy has journeyed with Sora many times to keep the worlds safe. He has pledged to help Sora through the trials ahead. Donald's Form magic turned him into a defensive figurine to blend in with the world's inhabitants.

* Young Xehanort- A member of the real Organization XIII; this is Master Xehanort's younger self. He has traveled forward through time more than once to guide Sora.

* Woody Pride {Toy Story (1995)}- Andy's treasured toy cowboy and the de facto leader of the toys. He took the initiative in getting to the bottom of their strange new circumstances.

* Buzz Lightyear {Toy Story (1995)}- A newer addition to Andy's toy lineup; an action figure who at one point believed he was a real space ranger. Buzz reluctantly agreed to leave Andy's room to investigate Galaxy Toys.

* Hamm {Toy Story (1995)}- Andy's piggy bank. His belly, full of loose change, tends to slow him down when the call of action comes. Unlike Rex, he's more of a Gigas fan.

* Green Army Men {Toy Story (1995)}- An army in a bucket, equipped with an array of gear that enables them to perform a broad range of missions.

* Rex {Toy Story (1995)}- Andy's toy Tyrannosaurus. His fierce appearance belies a meek and anxious nature. Rex is an avid video game fan, and his current character obsession is Yozora.

* Squeaky-Toy Alien {Toy Story (1995)}- An identical trio that were prizes from the Pizza Planet crane game. They tend to stick together at all times.

* Mrs. Davis {Toy Story (1995)}- Andy Davis's mother. She has been worried sick by the disappearance of her son and his sister Molly, and fervently hopes that they'll eventually come back.

* Buster {Toy Story 2 (1999)}- Andy's plucky pet dachshund who is good friends with Woody and the other toys. He has been waiting patiently for the time his master will return, but will help Sora and the others around the house whenever they may need him.

* Jessie the Cowgirl {Toy Story 2 (1999)}- A cowboy doll that Woody once met when he was kidnapped by a collector of memorabilia from a show called Woody's Roundup. Together they eventually escaped and made their way back to Andy. We found her at Galaxy Toys after the Heartless took her and then she helped us fight through the freaky store to save the rest of her friends, with the help of her friendly critter posse.

* Bullseye {Toy Story 2 (1999)}- A floppy rag doll horse that Woody once met when he was kidnapped by a collector of memorabilia from a show called Woody's Roundup. Together they eventually escaped and made their way back to Andy. We found him at Galaxy Toys after the Heartless took him and then he helped us fight through the freaky store to save the rest of his friends.

* Zurg {Toy Story 2 (1999)}- A action figure of Buzz Lightyear's sworn enemy; an intergalactic despot with an army of robots under his control. He fought alongside the giant Heartless Xehanort summoned, but was quickly defeated by us. He claims he's really Buzz's father, but is it possible he's just lying?

* Wheezy {Toy Story 2 (1999)}- A squeaky toy penguin who is one of Andy's toys. He has a bad coughing problem that was caused by a faulty squeaker and dust allergies. We managed to save him after fighting off the Heartless that caught the Aliens.

* Wreck-It Ralph {Wreck-It Ralph (2012)}- A friend that answered Sora's call through the power of the Heartbinder. In his own home world, Ralph was the bad guy of an arcade game called Fix It Felix Jr, until he wanted to change his life for the better and become a hero. His wrecking skills come in handy for taking out droves of Heartless whenever he's around.

* Toy Trooper Heartless- Those jet packs and ray guns may be toys, but these "masked intruders" are anything but fun and games when they come barreling your way. Sometimes, they'll try to throw grenades at you, but this isn't necessarily all bad. After they toss them, they attempt to duck away from the blast. Take this moment to kick them while they're down, or if you're feeling fancy, a well-timed Keyblade strike will send it back at them instead.

* Marionette Heartless- This puppet may not seem like such a pain when it rides around on its ring, but just wait until it possesses another toy! Or better yet, don't wait for that, and just go take it out on sight.

* Gold Beat Heartless- These electrical enemies zip through the air and zap you. They have to stop and conjure up a sigil before they can rain lightning down on you, so take that chance to exact brutal punishment. Their rapid-fire thunderstorm will electrify you if it connects, so watch for the tell and don't get too close. Aero magic will have them winded in no time flat. If you've got the MP to spare, start flinging those gales!

* Pole Cannon Heartless- If you approach these turrets, they'll only warp away, so your best bet is to attack from a distance with magic. The extending arm mount allows them a variety of firing positions. The silver lining in all this? You'll look amazing swinging around that pole!

* King of Toys Heartless- A colossal Heartless summoned by Young Xehanort to stall Sora and his pals at Toy Box. This thing comes with everything; annoying force fields? Check. Hailstorm of missiles? Check. A ridiculously huge tornado that flings around all nearby toys in the area? That's oddly specific, but check! As toys go, definitely not fun, and with Zurg around, it gets worse.

* Gigas: Power Class- One of Galaxy Toys' hottest products. Unfortunately, this one is being piloted by a Toy Trooper with a taste for terror. This model boasts a sturdy hull and brutal close-quarter attacks. Keep your distance, and avoid that shoulder tackle at all costs!

* Gigas: Speed Class- One of Galaxy Toys' hottest products. Unfortunately, this one is being piloted by a Toy Trooper with a perchant for peril. This model's speed and agility are its greatest weapons. Well, that and the mega cluster of explosives it fires from its shoulder cannons.

* Gigas: Gunner Class- One of Galaxy Toys' hottest products. Unfortunately, this one is piloted by a Toy Trooper that's keen on chaos. This long-range model's a bit of a glass cannon, so get up in its face and smash it to bits! The energy rounds it fires from its shoulder cannons are blazingly fast, so get out of the way once it starts aiming.

* Beasts and Bugs- A unlucky denizen of Galaxy Toys that got possessed by a Marionette. Expect these quick critters to zip out of range and let their cannons fly. That's about the only thing they can do, actually.

* Patchwork Animals- Unlucky denizens of Galaxy Toys that got possessed by a Marionette. These simple minded plushies know only one trick: chaaarge! Use magic to trip them up, then give them some new stitches.

* Air Droids- Unlucky denizens of Galaxy Toys that got possessed by a Marionette. When these nuisances aren't blasting at you with their arm cannons, they're blasting you with gale force winds. Fortunately, they can't do both at the same time, so when they switch on that fan, use magic to blow them away!

* Bouncy Pets- Unlucky denizens of Galaxy Toys that got possessed by a Marionette. These bouncy baddies hardly stay still for long. Use these brief pauses to take the spring out of their step!

* Supreme Smasher- A unlucky denizen of Galaxy Toys that got possessed by a Marionette. This massive menace gave Sora and friends a run for their money, but in the end no deadly claws or terrible tower turrets were a match for the mighty Rex. Yes, that Rex.

* Angelic Amber- An unlucky denizen of Galaxy Toys that got possessed by a Marionette. Unpredictable and erratic, her moves made her a maddening foe to face. Once Sora and the others freed her from the Marionette's ill influence, she bore a melancholy expression.

And that finishes this another chapter. I hope you enjoyed this little update and please remember to leave a review to let me know what you think about the story! See you all next time, and may your heart be your guiding key.
