Sora and Onyx made their way through Galaxy Toys as Onyx followed the dark presence calling to her. And just like Sora said; they encountered many smaller Heartless along the way that she proceeded to step on or kick around. "This is kinda fun. I could get used to this." Sora leans on her head as he stands on her shoulder. He was surprised that she took to taking out Heartless so well. He wasn't used to having a party member who could not only carry their weight, but carry the whole team...probably even literally. "You're really good at this. Are you sure you're not an action figure?" He joked playfully as she giggled somewhat awkwardly. "Don't get too comfortable. If any of those bigger guys come at me, I'm gonna be in trouble."

As if on cue; a Gigas jumped down from the floor above. Onyx panicked and tried to look for an escape route. But before she even made a move, Sora jumped off her shoulder and charged the towering mech...well, towering to him, at least. Even though she had seen him in action before, she was still amazed at how courageous and confident Sora was in the face of such daunting obstacles. Her focus on Sora led to her being blindsided by a random Heartless pouncing her from one of the shelves as she collapsed. "Onyx!" Sora dispatched the Gigas with great haste as he returned to get the swarming Heartless off of her.

He cleared them off and dismissed his Keyblade as he absentmindedly offered her a hand up, but soon realized how silly he looked. "Uh...you okay?" She appeared to have a crack in her cheek up across the bridge of her nose. "Your face..." She clambered up to her knees as she sorrowfully covers her face. "It's not a huge loss. My face was a hindrance anyways." Confused; Sora asked her to clarify. "Huh? What do you mean?" She elaborated. "My face scares children and even some adults. That's the main reason no one would take me. And that in turn is probably what made me so appealing to the Heartless. I'm just...too creepy to be sold to kids."

Sora thought for a moment and grew a big smile on his face. "Well, what about BIGGER kids?" She raised an eyebrow, but let Sora continue. "I'm pretty sure Donald will give me an earful for telling you this, but I'm not from this world. I'm normally a regular sized...albeit slightly shorter than average human. What if I take you?" She was surprised to hear this fact, but it was the only thing that made all this other weird stuff around here make sense. She was even more surprised that he'd propose such an idea. "You'd...do that? But...but are you okay with my face?!" Sora put his hand on her nose. "I mean...some glue should fix that right up. If not, I know an old guy who has some experience with making toys that come to life."

She stands up as she reaches down to pick Sora up and he continues. "...Unless you meant the whole 'creepy' nonsense. Because you're not. I happen to think your face is really CUTE." How she has waited to hear that word used to describe her. She had never felt such joy. It overflowed as she expressed her gratitude in the only way she felt befitted such a compliment. She pulled him up to her face and kissed his whole face at once. Although with their size difference it looked more like she was trying to eat him from a distance. "Mmmwa! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Sora was starting to be very thankful that his toy form did not allow him to blush or else he'd be bright red as a tomato right now.

Motivated. Energetic. Onyx was fired up to help Sora find his friends. She bolted towards their destination with fire in her eyes while still holding Sora in her hands who had dull eyed look on his face due to him still processing what just happened. He then noticed a mirror on one of the nearby toys that they passed by and chuckled at his position. "Heh. I know I promised you'd be my toy, but right now it looks like it's the other way around." She finally made it to where she wanted to be. "This is the spot. This is where I felt the darkness pull me in. But..." She couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Sora pointed up to the floor above. "There! I see them!" They both caught sight of a huge UFO toy carrying off a bunch of toys in its clutches. It noticed that it had been seen and attempted to flee with its catch. Onyx locked on to the stairs to get to the next floor and catch it, but was cut off by a Gigas and this one brought help. They were surrounded by three Gigas as the UFO was getting away. Onyx thought fast and gave Sora a look of determination, but he didn't seem to understand what she was thinking. She gripped him in her hand, pulled back and chucked Sora all the way to the next floor. As he landed he looked back down in concern. "What are you doing?!"

She smiled confidently. "I got this! You go save your friends!" Sora nodded affirmatively and took off after the UFO. As he ran, he shouted back to her as loud as he could. "I'll come back to you! I PROMISE!" Onyx grabbed a toy sword from a nearby shelf and took a fighting stance similar to Sora. "It took me ten years to find someone. I am NOT going to lose him now!" She emulates Sora's fighting style as much as she can remember and fights off the Gigas. She eventually comes out on top and in one piece. But now, she's lost track of Sora.

As she searched throughout the store she began to feel a shift in the darkness. Like something was just becoming whole again. She soon noticed people starting to materialize into reality. But the people weren't reacting to this change at all. They were just going about their business as usual. As if two halves of the world were being woven back together. Onyx hides herself quickly as she begins to wonder if Sora was responsible for this. Her questions would be put on hold as she saw Sora and his friends outside the toy store in the parking lot out back fighting against that Xehanort guy.

She makes her way down to them as quickly and covertly as possible. When she arrives, it appears that Xehanort is trying to retreat into his dark portal. Sora attempts to stop him, but is sent flying by Xehanort into the path of a huge semi truck pulling into the lot. Onyx rushes in without hesitation and dives into Sora, shoving him out of the way. But before he even has time to get up and turn around to his savior, he hears a haunting sound that chilled him to his core.
