Chapter Nine: The Round Up Gang
While climbing up some change fell out from Hamm back.
"Uh-oh. Hey, heads up down there!" Hamm said as the change began to hit everyone it fell on.
"Whoa! Pork bellies are fallin'" Slinky said.
"Hey! How much farther, Buzz?" Mr. Potato Head asked.
"Halfway there!" New Buzz grunted.
"My arms can't hold on much longer!" Rex yelled as he began to slip knocking into the others and getting caught at the end.
"Rex you're going to get us killed!" Max yelled.
"Buzz, help!" Rex yelled.
"Too heavy!" New Buzz grunted as his eyes widen "What was I thinking? My antigravity servos!" he said hitting the button on his belt as it glowed blue, "Hang tight, everyone. I'm going to let go of the wall."
"Oh!" Rex said.
"What?" Slinky said.
"He wouldn't" Mr. Potato Head said.
"One!"
"He would" Hamm said.
"Two!"
"No! NO! NO!" Max yelled.
"No, don't, Buzz!" Hamm yelled.
"Let's think about this!" Rex yelled.
"Three!" Buzz said letting go.
"GAAAHAH OOOFF!" all the toys grunted as Buzz stood on them as they road up the elevator.
"To infinity...and beyond! Approaching destination reengaging gravity" Buzz said as they reached the new air duct.
"Are we still alive?" Max groaned.
"Area secure it's okay, troops. The antigravity sickness will wear off momentarily. now let's move" New Buzz said.
"Remind me to glue his helmet shut when we get back" Mr. Potato Head said.
"With pleasure" Max said.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Okay Let's move!" Jason grunted hanging on the bottom of the elevator with Buzz.
"Come on" Buzz said.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Mission log, have reached Zurg's command deck but no sign of him or his wooden captive" New Buzz said into his srist as they heard Woody.
"Please! No!" Woody voice echoed.
"That's Woody!" Slinky said as he howled.
"This way!" New Buzz yelled as they ran to the bar air vent to see Jessie and Bulleye standing over Woody but a black box blocked their way.
"Please! Please, no! No! No, no, no!"
"Buzz, can you see? What's going on?" Mr. Potato Head asked
"I'm begging you!" Woody laughed.
"Take that!" Jessie said.
"I'm begging you! No more!" Woody said as Buzz held out one of Mr. Potato Head eyes.
"To the left!" Mr. Potato Head said,=.
"Take that!"
"No, your left."
"Please! You're killin' me!"
"Take it up higher."
"What's happening?" New Buzz asked.
"Oh, it's-it's 're-They're torturing him!" Mr. Potato Head said.
"What are we gonna do, Buzz?" Rex asked.
"Use your head!" Buzz said.
A few seconds later the toy were using Rex head as a battering-ram and charging to the gate.
"But I don't wanna use my head!" Rex yelled.
"AHHHHH!" all the toy yelled as they went through the gate, past the Roundup Gang and crashed into a box.
"Ugh! That was a dumb idea, who didn't check to see that thing was unlocked?" Max asked.
"What's going on here?" Prospector Pete asked.
"Buzz, guys! Hey, how did you find me?" Woody asked as New Buzz tackled him.
"Watch yourself!" New Buzz yelled.
"We're here to spring ya, Woody!" Slinky yelled as Hamm tackled Pete in his box knocking it over.
"You heard of kung fu? Well, get ready for pork chop!" Hamm said.
"Prepare to meet Mr. Angry Eyes!" Mr. Potato Head said putting away his eyes and pulled out us spare shoes instead of the Angry Eyes and began attacking a wall next to Jessie.
"Hold it, now! Hey, you don't understand! These are my friends!" Woody said.
"Yeah, we're his friends!" Rex yelled.
No, Rex, I mean they're my friends!" Woody yelled.
"Hey, stop it! You leave him alone, springy dog!" Jessie said to Slinky who was growling at Bullseye as Slinky wrapped around them "Hey!"
"Grab Woody, and let's go!" Slinky yelled as New Buzz grabbed Woody.
"Fellas, hold it! Buzz, put me down!" Woody yelled as he got carried away.
"Quick! To the vent!" Rex yelled.
"They're stealing him!" Jessie yelled.
"No!" Pete yelled as Jason and Buzz emerged from the vent.
"Hold it right there!" Buzz yelled.
"Buzz?" all the toys said.
"You again!" New Buzz said.
"Woody! Thank goodness you're all right" Buzz said.
"Buzz, what is going on?" Woody asked as New Buzz tossed him.
"Hold on! I am Buzz Lightyear, and I'm in charge of this detachment."
" No, I'm Buzz Lightyear."
"I am Buzz Lightyear!"
"I'm Buzz Lightyear!"
"So, who's the real Buzz?" Woody asked.
"I am!"
"I am! Don't let this impostor fool you! He's been trained by Zurg himself to mimic my every move!" New Buzz said as Buzz hit the helmet button as it flew off as the other Buzz began to gag and make noise as the others gave him an annoyed look then looked to Buzz as he held up his foot with the name Andy at the bottom.
"Buzz!"
"I had a feelin' it was you, Buzz. My front end just had to catch up with my back end" Slinky said.
"Will somebody please explain what's going on?" New Buzz said.
"It's all right, space ranger. It's a code 5.46" he whispered as the other Buzz gasped.
"You mean it's a..."
"Yes."
"And he's a..."
" Oh, yeah" he said as the other Buzz got down on one knee and took Woody hand
"Your Majesty."
"Ah ha heh" Woody said pulling his hand away.
"Woody, you're in danger here. We need to leave now" Buzz said.
"Al's selling you to a toy museum in Japan!" Rex said.
"I know. It's okay, Buzz. I actually wanna go" Woody said.
"What?" Rex said.
"Are you crazy?" Mr. Potato Head said.
"Look, the thing is...I'm a rare Sheriff Woody doll, and these guys are my Roundup gang" Woody said.
"Woody, what are you talking about?" Buzz asked.
"What am I talking about? Woody's Roundup! Oh, it's this great old TV show, and I was the star. See, now, look! Look! Look at me!" Woody said showing the old black and white show on the TV "See? That's me!"
"This is weirdin' me out" Hamm said.
"Buzz, it was a national phenomenon. And there was all this merchandise that just got packed up oh, you should've seen it. There was a record player and a yo-yo...Buzz, I was a yo-yo!"
"Was?" Mr. Potato Head said.
"Woody, stop this nonsense, and let's go" Buzz said.
"Ah, Buzz I can't go I can't abandon these guys, they need me to get into this museum without me, they'll go back into storage, maybe forever! Woody, you're not a collector's item. You're a child's plaything! You are a toy!" Buzz said.
"For how much longer? One more rip, and Andy's done with me. And what do I do then, Buzz? Huh? You tell me" Woody said.
"Somewhere in that pad of stuffing is a toy who taught me...that life's only worth living if you're bein' loved by a kid and I travelled all this way to rescue that toy...because I believed him" Buzz said.
"Well, you wasted your time" Woody said.
"Woody!" Jason said.
"Let's go, everyone" Buzz said.
"What about Woody?" Slinky asked.
"He's not coming with us" Buzz said.
"But-But Andy's coming home tonight" Rex said.
"Then we'd better make sure we're there waiting for him" Buzz said as they all began to go back into the vent.
"I don't have a choice, Buzz this is my only chance" Woody said.
"To do what, Woody? Watch kids from behind glass and never be loved again? Some life" Buzz said.
"Good luck Sheriff" Jason said as they slammed the vent gat closed as the voices on the TV played.
"Is everybody okay?"
"Sheriff Woody! I knew you'd make it!"
"Now, remember, deputies, the real treasures are your friends and family before I go, kids, I want to share somethin'special with you...for the times when I'm not around."
"Good going, Woody! I thought they'd never leave" Pete said.
"You've got a friend in me, You've got a friend in me"
"Woody?"
"You've got troubles well, I've got 'em too, there isn't anything I wouldn't stick together and see it through 'cause, you got a friend in me. Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too, Maybe. But none of them will ever love you the way I do It's me and you, boy And as the years go by Our friendship will never die You're gonna see it's our destiny."
"What am I doing? Buzz! Wait! Wait!" Woody yelled.
"Woody, where are you going?" Pete said.
"You're right, Prospector. I can't stop Andy from growing up but I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Woody said.
"No!" Pete yelled as Woody open the vent gate.
"Buzz!"
"Yes?" both the Buzz's said.
"I'm coming with you!" Woody yelled as he realized something, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'll be back in just a second!"
"Way to go, cowboy!" Buzz said.
"Knew he'd snap out of it" Jason smiled.
"Hey, you guys, come with me" Woody said to Jessie and Bullseyes.
"What?" Jessie said.
"Andy will play with all of us. I know it!"
"Woody, I-I...I don't know. I..." Jessie said
"Wouldn't you give anything just to have one more day with Emily? Come on, Jessie. This is what it's all about: To make a child happy and you know it. Bullseye, are you with me?" Woody asked as the horse licked his face.
"Okay, good boy. Prospector, how 'bout you?" Woody said turning the box around to see it empty as they heard the vent gate slam as Pete used his pick ax to screw the gate closed.
"Prospector?" Jessie said.
"You're out of your box!" Woody said.
"I tried reasoning with you, Woody...but you keep forcing me to take extreme measures."
"Wait a minute. You turned on the TV last night, not Jessie!"
"Look, we have an eternity to spend together in the museum. Let's not start off by pointing fingers, shall we?" Pete said.
"You really are Stinky Pete, aren't you?" Woody said.
"Prospector, this isn't fair!" Jessie yelled.
"Fair? I'll tell you what's not fair: Spending a lifetime on a dime-store shelf watching every other toy be sold. Well, finally, my waiting has paid off...and no hand-me-down cowboy doll is gonna mess it up for me now!" Pete yelled putting his box in its safety foam.
"Buzz! Help, Buzz! Guys!" Woody yelled into the vent.
"It's too late, Woody. That silly Buzz Lightweight can't help you" Pete said.
"His name is Buzz Lightyear!" Woody yelled.
"Whatever. I've always hated those upstart space toys" Pete said going back into his box as Jason and the other toys tried to open the gate.
"It's stuck! What do we do?" Woody asked.
"Should I use my head?" Rex asked as they heard a door open.
"It's Al!" Woody yelled as Jessie and Bullseye ran into their safety foam.
"Look at the time! I'm gonna be late! Oh, figures. I can't miss this flight! I've gotta pack. All right. Let's see. Uh, wallet, keys, tickets...uh, passport, beef jerky...very expensive over there. Shower!" he said sniffing himself as he began to put the Round up gang away, "Oh, I can skip the shower, I just gotta get outta here now! "
"Quick! To the elevator!" Buzz yelled as they all ran down the vent, "hurry! I can hear it coming!" he said as New Buzz stopped with a gasp as the elevator stopped and Zurg stood at the end of the vent.
"Who the hell is that?" Jason asked.
"So, we meet again, Buzz Lightyear, for the last time" Zurg said.
"It's Zurg!" New Buzz and Rex yelled as Zurg pointed his weapon at them.
"Watch out! He's got an ion blaster!" Rex yelled as New Buzz jumped over dodged the toy shots as he shit his laser hitting Zurg in the eyes.
"Gah!" Zurg growled as the elevator began to go down.
"Quick! Get on!" Buzz yelled as they all jumped onto the elevator.
"What now?" Max asked.
"The emergency hatch! Come on!" Buzz yelled as they ran to the emergency hatch.
"Get it open!" Jason said.
"Come on! Hurry!" Buzz said as they began to open the hatch.
"But Buzz is in peril!" Rex yelled as they looked over to see Zurg slamming New Buzz on the wall.
"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...Lightyear to the rescue!"
"He's fine!" Jason said as they opened the hatch and looked down to see Al tapping the elevator button.
Zurg was spinning New Buzz over his head then tossed him to the ground.
"Surrender, Buzz Lightyear, I have won" Zurg said.
"I'll never give in, you killed my father!" New Buzz yelled.
"Ugh! Those two are morons! Your play things! You are toys!" Jason yelled.
"No, Buzz, I am your father!" Zurg said.
"NNNNOOOOO!" New Buzz yelled.
"They didn't even hear me" Jason said as Max shrugged his shoulders.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Al said as Slink dropped down with Jason as the others held Slink tail.
"AH! Buzz, you could have defeated Zurg all along! You just need to believe in yourself!" Rex yelled.
"Prepare to die!" Zurg said pointing the toy gun again.
"GAH! I can't look!" Rex said turning around and accidently smacking Zurg with his tail and knocked him to the side.
"Wh-Wh-Wh-Whoa!" Zurg yelled falling into the darkness.
"I did it, I finally defeated Zurg!" Rex yelled excitedly.
"Father" New Buzz said.
"A little closer" Jason said popping the locks as Woody lifted it, "give me your hand" he said taking Woody hands as the elevator stopped.
"Ah, finally!" Al said walking as Jason tried to hold onto Woody hands but Pete pulled Woody away as Slinky and Jason were sent flying back and hitting the wall as all the toys dropped into the elevator as Mr. Potato Head threw his hat and caught it in the closing doors as they ran after Al who got into his car and drove off.
"How are we gonna get him now?" Rex asked.
"Pizza, anyone?" Mr. Potato Head said as they looked to the open Pizza Planet Delivery Truck.
"Go, go, go!" Buzz yelled as they all ran and New Buzz came out.
"I got it!" he said catching a yellow ball.
"Buzz, are you coming?"
"No, I... I have a lot of catching up to do with my dad" New Buzz said throwing the ball back as it hit Zurg head.
"Good throw, son! That's my boy, go long, Buzzy!" Zurg said firing another ball.
"Oh, you're a great dad. Yippee!"
"Farewell" Buzz said as he ran and got into the car.
