Chapter 17

The new toy stared around his settings. "There seems to be no sign of-"

"Hey!" Woody jumped on the bed. The spaceman reacted by pointing his laser at Woody. "Wait! I'm a friend, ok? Calm down!"

By then, some of the other toys came to the bed. "Hey, a new toy!" exclaimed Cloud. "I'm Cloud, this is Riku, and we come in peace!"

"Why are you so happy right now?" grimaced Riku.

All the other toys introduced themselves, including a grim Woody. "So, what are you?" asked Riku.

"I am Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger. I come from a planet in outer space. I crash-landed here."

"What does a space ranger do?" asked Rex.

"Well," replied Buzz, "We use our lasers and we fly to protect the galaxy from the evil Zorg!"

"Aren't you a toy?" asked Woody.

"No, I'm a space ranger!" Buzz said.

"Besides, I have never seen a toy fly."

"I CAN fly!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Fine, prove it!"

Buzz looked content. He went up on one of the four poles around Andy's room and stood on top of it. "To Infinity and Beyond!"

He plunged, falling rapidly. Suddenly, he hit a bouncy ball, went up a race track, and glided back to the bed. "I told you so!"

All the other toys cheered him on. They carried him back on the ground.

"Calm down, Woody," said Bo Peep, a shepherdess. "Andy still will love you over Buzz."

Woody grumbled, angry at his situation. Riku and Cloud looked on, wondering what will happen next.

In the next few days, Andy played with Buzz all the time. Woody would have not been frustrated, but everything around him was changing. The bed sheets displayed spaceships. The posters were filled with planets. His authority was sham too. The other toys depend on him, solving problems with Buzz pointing out the flaws. Heartless and nobodies also appeared in the dozens, but that problem was dealt with by Sora, Riku, and Cloud. Woody finds himself in Andy's toy chest one morning. Angry, he decided to confront the toy.

Buzz was working on making something when Woody went up to him. "Well, this toy is hard at work, huh?"

"What do you want, fellow sheriff?" asked Buzz.

"You do know that you are a toy-"

"How many times do I have to tell you? I am NOT a toy-"

Woody hit Buzz's chest, pulling the helmet off of Buzz's head. Shocked, he grabbed at his neck, only to watch Woody laugh at him.

"You're mocking me, aren't you?"

"Oh no...HEY LOOK, A ALIEN!" Woody pointed at Sora, who heard it and started to go towards them.

"What did you say?" Sora's voice sounded hurt, and Riku came up, angry at Woody's suggestion.

"Only lowlifes mock aliens."

"Thanks for-WHAT?!" Sora looked angry at his friend, but Cloud appeared between them.

"Look, all I am trying to say is that Buzz is a toy."

Woody ran off in disgust. Buzz ignored the discussion and went right back to work. Riku pulled Sora and Cloud to a secluded area.

"Look, we cannot tell Buzz that he is a toy. We have to keep this a secret-"

"Why?" Sora was puzzled.

"It will break his heart." Cloud understood the consequence. "He can't deal with it." The trio nodded to each other, knowing that something will happen soon.

That night, Andy's mother called him. "We're going to the pizzeria! Bring only one toy!"

Woody was sullen. He knew that he will not be chosen. Then, Buzz went near the window. "Help!"

A heartless in the form of a toy soldier was near Buzz. Riku slashed from behind, destroying it with ease. Unfortunately, it was too late, as the heartless shot at Buzz, hitting him out of the window.

"No! Buzz!" Woody looked down, seeing that he survived the way down. "Hold on!"

"Murderer!" Potato-Head looked at the cowboy with fury. "You killed Buzz, you jealous freak! What if I was Andy's-"

Riku slapped him to the ground, and the toy lost his arms. "Are you stupid?!" roared Riku. "It was a heartless! You all saw it!"

Woody went behind Riku, scared of the other toys looking at him with hate. Footsteps were heard, and the other toys fell down still. Andy looked happy until he didn't see Buzz. "Where is he?!" Sad, he took Woody with him. Riku followed unnoticed, hiding into the car.

Woody was even more sullen. "What have I done?" he cried. "I hurt a toy! I killed him!"

"Look, he's alive!" assured Riku. "We saw him! He will be fine! Look, we will explain it to the others, ok?"

The car stopped at a gas station. Andy and his mother left, only leaving the two toys and a opened door. They looked up in shock to see a angry Buzz.

"Buzz! You're alive!" said Riku. He came down, marching towards Woody.

"Well, I just want to let you know..."

Woody was confused until Buzz pushed Woody's forehead against his.

"Payback." He launched himself onto Woody, slamming into the ground from the open door.

"What?!" Riku followed them, only to see the two fight each other. "STOP!"

Riku grabbed both of them, slamming them to the ground hard. "Look, we have to go back to the car now!"

Buzz hit Riku in his stomach. The boy collapsed. groaning in pain until he heard a car engine. "No-"

The car left, leaving the toys behind. "NOOO!" cried Woody.

Buzz left for another car when Woody yelled at him. "You pathetic toy!"

"Oh, pathetic, am I? You-"

"IT WAS THE HEARTLESS!" Riku roared with such intensity that Woody and Buzz stepped back. "Can't you guys just stop arguing?"

"He called that thing!" Buzz argued. "He's jealous of me. Of course he was behind it!"

"Are you stupid or what?!" Riku's temper was rising. Woody decided to break the tension with his plan.

"Look, guys," Woody interjected, "I have a idea. There's a truck that will lead us to the pizzeria."

Riku looked up and saw the truck with a spaceship on it. "Looks like car to me. Is it the right one?"

"Yes. Andy's mother was planning for this pizzeria."

"Forget it!" Buzz looked frustrated. "I won't go! Never!"

"The pizzeria has a spaceship!" Woody said. Buzz looked at Woody, deciding whether or not to believe him.

"Fine."

"YES!"

The three toys went near the vehicle. Buzz, ignorant of the driver, went up the front seat. Riku went behind the passenger seat, while Woody went inside the trunk. Only as the car started did Woody realize his mistake. The contents of the trunk consisted of suitcases and books. Woody collided with the suitcases, only to have them hitting him to the back of the car. "AHHHH!"

The car/truck arrived at the pizzeria. The driver got out, relieved to be at his destination. Buzz and Riku went to the trunk, only to see a dazed Woody hit two empty cups and a hamburger cover.

"Woody!" Riku was concerned in whether Woody's head was stable or not. Buzz looked at the items Woody hit and came up with an idea.

The toys sneaked inside the items to the place. After taking it off, Riku looked around. "Where's Andy?"

"THERE!" Woody pointed at the kid, who was sitting at the table. "Quick-"

"NO! Buzz!" Riku saw him going to a toy machine shaped like a spaceship. Grumbling, the other two toys followed him in.

"Greetings, fellow aliens!" said Buzz. "We come in peace!"

"OHHHHH." The three-eyed alien toys looked at the newcomers with interest. Before anything else happened, the ground shook.

"Awww, man!" cried a kid. "Nothing is here! Wait...a Buzz Lightyear toy!"

"SID?!" cried Woody.

"Who?" asked Riku. He looked out of the machine, seeing a boy with demonic eyes and a black skull t-shirt.

"He is a toy's nightmare. He's next door neighbors with Andy. We see him blowing up TOYS! RUN!"

They looked up in time to see a crane. It took one of the alien toys, then it took Buzz. Despite Riku and Woody's attempts, they were pulled up as well. "Oh, we will have fun, alright..." said the boy.

He put the toys in his bag on his back, laughing as he decided to go home.
