Crona swayed back and forth as he walked down the streets of Death City towards the Academy, dragging his black sword behind him, his white face nearly glowing under the light of the pale, bleeding moon. Xelysha followed him from the safety of the shadows, not wishing to be detected by anyone.
"Crona?" The pink haired boy looked up to find himself face-to-face with Maka and Soul. "Are you okay, Crona? We've been looking everywhere for you," Maka asked Crona with a concerned look on her face.
"Who are you?" Crona stood there in a bewildered state.
"Huh? Crona, you know who we are. We're you friends," Soul replied, immediately suspecting something to be wrong.
"Friends? I don't have friends. I don't know how to deal with people," Crona immediately swung the dark sword at Maka and Soul who instinctively jumped out of the sword's path.
"You do have friends, Crona. Don't you remember?" Maka asked, trying to figure out what's going on. "Soul!" Maka called out to Soul as he glowed and floated into Maka's hands while transforming into a scythe with an eye design on the handle. Maka grabbed the handle and twirled it in front of her like a baton before taking a stance, ready for a fight if she has to. "You know us, Crona!"
"I don't know you, I only know Lady Medusa and Lady Xelysha," the skittish boy swung his sword at the green-eyed girl again, his whole body swaying in the motions of his attacks. Maka immediately blocked it with the large scythe.
"No, Crona! You know Soul and me, and the others! Snap out of it!"
"Snap out of what? I don't know how to deal with people telling me to snap out of things," Crona then swung Ragnaraok at Maka again, which was blocked like the first one. "Screech Gamma" the sword in his hands suddenly turned completely black with a purple glow around it, breaking off into pieces as it strikes at Maka over and over again. Maka struggled to keep steady as the blows kept hitting the handle part of the scythe in her hands. "Stop it! Stop!" Crona screamed as Ragnarok kept striking Maka.
"Maka, do you sense another soul anywhere?" Soul stammered as he took blows left and right.
"No… wait. Yeah, there is one. Huh… now it's gone. That's so weird," Maka replied in astonishment.
"Just focus on the fight… Maka! Look out!" Soul instantly turned into his human form and shoved Maka out of the way just as Crona sliced through his chest for the second time in their lives.
"Soul!" Maka caught him as he fell down, knowing it was her fault again because she got distracted by the soul that seemed to have vanished into thin air. "Why did you do this, Crona? We're friends! Why would you do this?"
Crona continued to sway, holding Ragnarok above his head as he smiled a crooked smile.
"I already told you, I don't know you so how could we be friends if I don't know you? I really don't know how to deal with this situation."
Sora's plastic shoes clanged against the metal air vent as he raced down it with Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Mr. Potato Head, and Slinkey. The only way to save their friend Woody was by reaching the elevator in time, but they could only move so fast. Rumbling echoed throughout the vent as the elevator moved upwards to receive the man who stole Woody from the garage sale only a day before Sora, Riku, and Kairi arrived in this strange world. The group screeched to a halt on the metal as the elevator stopped and they found themselves looking at another toy, Emperor Zurg.
"So, we meet again, Buzz Lightyear, for the last time," Emperor Zurg spoke as the yellow lights for his mouth lit up with every word he said. Rex instantly began to panic as Zurg raised his right arm, a gun with yellow balls inside.
"Look out! He's got an ion blaster!" Rex shouted, waving his little arms everywhere. Yellow balls started releasing from the arm-gun in Zurg as Buzz leaped over the purple villain and landed behind him. Sora raced onto the elevator while Zurg was distracted with Buzz's lazer that was shot into his red-glowing eyes. Zurg raised his left hand and snapped his plastic fingers which were soon followed by a fleet of rag doll Heartless that surrounded Sora.
"You really thought I would come alone?" Zurg spoke as he continued pointing his attention to Buzz. Sora summoned his Keyblade, now used to the fact its plastic and began fighting off the Heartless. Zurg grabbed Buzz and banged him against a part of the wall before lifting the space ranger above his head and spinning him around, throwing him at the ground. "Surrender, Buzz. I have won."
"I'll never give up," Buzz panted, "you killed my father!"
"No Buzz, I am your father."
Sora quickly finished off the last Heartless and ran at them.
"Come on, Buzz!" The action figure shouted at the space ranger, "you can beat him, just believe in yourself."
Rex, who had already beaten Sora to reaching Buzz and Zurg continued to panic and turned around, smacking Zurg with his tail on accident. Zurg slid back and fell off of the elevator, unable to stop his wheels. The dinosaur rejoiced when he realized what he did.
"I did it! I finally defeated Zurg!" Rex shouted as his arms waved around in delight.
"Father," Buzz reached down at the Zurg that was now disappearing into the darkness, unable to contain his grief.
Maka clung onto Soul as all of her memories flashed before her, she knew what was coming. There was a reason the moon was drooling blood. Crona swung down to slice Maka in half and claim her soul when suddenly a black sword blocked Ragnarok from touching Maka.
"Hey, Crona. You really think I'd just sit back and let you kill my friends? I don't think so," the blue haired boy used his muscles to push Crona back. "I'm the big star around here! Remember that!"
