Chapter XXXVII: The world of toys part IV

It was now sunset outside with glowing colours of orange and red together giving the room a wonderful warm tone to everything and giving a slight glow.

"To infinity and beyond!" Cried Andy as he smacked Buzz into Woody, and then as he did his mom came through the door.

"Oh all this packing makes me hungry what would you say to dinner at uh…" his mom spoke, as she spoke Andy continued his onslaught against Woody with Buzz as he had the plastic super astronaut smack into him, "oh Pizza planet?" She finished with a smile on her face.

At the sound of those two delicious words Andy exclaimed, "Pizza planet! Oh cool!" With that he dropped the two toys on top of each other as he ran to his mom, as the two left shutting the door Woody shoved Buzz off of him deeply annoyed.

Hearing the boy leave the room Nozomi, Riku, Cait sith (upon Nozomi's shoulder) and the king too came out of their hiding places, it'd been a little easier for the party later in the afternoon since Andy had quickly returned his attentions to his current favourite toy Buzz.

"That was at least a good rest," Riku spoke as he yawned slightly, during that time the group had taken the time to recuperate taking a long sleep and preparing some supplies from the ever available save point.

"Yeah I say we were definitely in need of a good rest," the king spoke as he scratched the back of his furry neck.

Nozomi too stretched her ball-jointed arms out she then heard the continuing conversation between him and his mom, it was Andy's voice that sounded first, and "Can I bring some toys?" He asked happily.

His mom replied to him, "you can bring one toy."

Andy then complained, "just one!"

Hearing this being said Nozomi opened her eyes from her stretching and looked at Woody, seeing her Cait sith watched on as well, she saw him look at a strange black ball of some kind as he seemed to whisper something to it, but then after a brief moment he cried out annoyed as he then chucked it to one side as he then got up and went to the window looking annoyed and depressed.

Seeing this she felt her sympathy react inside herself as she felt sad for him, quiet for a few moments as she stared on as she then decided to do something, Nozomi looked at Cait sith as he realised her intentions he nodded to her idea, so turning on her rollers blades she spoke to Riku and the others, "hey guys?" She asked.

Riku hearing her looked over as he asked, "what is it?"

Curious King Mickey gazed at her too as she spoke, "well I was thinking, I've just looked at Woody and he seems to be sad again… so I was thinking we should do something to cheer him up."

At this Riku looked at her dismissively as he asked, "why? What would we gain by doing that, besides how he feels is not our trouble, what is though is how to move on from this world as soon as possible."

Hearing this reply Nozomi got annoyed at his cold nature but before she could reply it was Cait sith who intervened first, "now that kinda attitude is defineltey not the way ta go about this! Sides that laddies sufferin real badly!" He complained out loud to him.

Listening to him Nozomi looked and nodded in agreement smiling as she then turned and spoke to the others again, "yeah exactly, besides we're keybladers right? And our duty is to go around to each world and help out with its troubles, regardless right?" She added.

Hearing this Riku and Mickey were quiet as once again Cait sith spoke, "right on lass! Now since we ain't got no other problems that are present we might as well sort this one out!" He then finished jumping into the air his fist rolled up to show his energeticness.

Nozomi smiled brightly really happy that Cait sith was giving her massive support, Riku on the other hand was still on the dismissive side despite the optimism but then it was then the king who spoke, "you fella's are definitely are on the right mark about that one, it's true that travelling is our aim but supporting others comes first!" He finished with his usual smile.

Cait sith and Nozomi both feeling victory grinned in triumph and with what the king said she then spoke happily, "all right let's go then!"

With that she roller bladed forwards towards the desk, the king on her tail while Riku stood back for a moment as he shook his head sighing as he then said, "honestly am I the only one being realistic here?" With that he ran to catch up to the energetic trio.

Woody smiled as he confirmed with his acquaintance about the plan, "right so real quick?"
"Yeah that's it, in and out like the wind no one will no any different!" He spoke happily with a slight chuckle.

"All right then!" Woody spoke as he then moved back from the window and went to where the number 8 black cue ball had slid off the table and was now in the narrow gap between the wall and the desk itself.

Looking at it he smiled as he rubbed his hands together as he put the plan into action, looking at Buzz he saw that he was busy digging in Andy's pot of crayons, pens and pencil as he held onto a roll of tape in his right hand. He was humming a tune to himself as he took out a paperclip and examined it.

Seeing he had his chance he cried out in alarm, "Buzz!"

With that he ran over to him as he waved his arms back and forth, as he continued on Buzz turned from what he was doing and looked at him questioningly, "Oh Buzz! Buzz Light year! Buzz light year thank goodness! We've got trouble!"

At the T word Buzz was immediately intrigued, " Trouble! Where!" He asked alarmed as his voice was imbued with a courageous tone.

It was then Woody pointed to where the cue ball was as he spoke again in his masked distressed voice, "down there!" Just down there! A helpless toy is…. He's trapped Buzz!"

Hearing these words Buzz marched straight on over to the scene to get a closer inspection, "we've no time to lose!"

As Buzz then stepped away Woody then stood to one side as he watched with a smile as soon everything would be back to how it should be once more.

As Nozomi finally got up onto the desk, Cait sith had jumped off of her shoulder, he looked around for Woody but was distracted as he noticed Buzz was doing something peculiar as he was looking down the edge of the desk for something.

Finally Nozomi had got herself onto the desk as she rolled a little forwards as she then finally saw Cait sith and what he was gazing at, distracted as she looked on curiously from her previous mission she decided to see what it was Buzz was looking for.

Roller blading over she inquired, "Mr Light year? What on earth are you doing?"

Hearing her he replied, "there's a toy! It's trapped down there!" He told her urgently.

Listening to this Nozomi's eyes widened in alarm at this, "what, why, how the heck did that happen!?"

"Well I don't know but we've got to find a way to get him out!" Buzz spoke as he continued to think of a solution.

Nozomi still confused slightly then looked down the edge herself for this so called toy that had fallen into this trouble. As she did though she heard Riku and then the king called out for her, "Nozomi what're you doing?"

At this she cried back, "there's some trouble here apparently, a toy's trapped here!"

With that King Mickey ran over to soothe the urgency while Riku walked on over not too rushed as he went to see what the commotion was about. However Cait sith as he watched the others walked on over he looked back at what Woody was doing.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

However the arrivals were definitely not something that Woody was wanting especially the new guys as he looked on alarmed. He looked out the window anxiously as he saw with fright as the promised abomination was arriving quickly. Looking at it and then quickly to the huddled group he shouted loudly," HEY!!! GET OUT OF THERE!!!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hearing this alarmed call Nozomi looked over as she saw Woody's alarmed face, she was deeply puzzled when suddenly from above a huge shadow appeared over them.

Suddenly something spun ultra quickly into the group, "Owww!" Nozomi cried out. Everyone was smashed into as they were all scattered apart.

"Lads are ya all right!" Cait sith cried alarmed as he rushed on towards everyone.

Getting up Riku ached all over as he complained, "what in the heck was-"

However as he looked on he saw an enormous adversary that the group had not seen in a long while, a heartless.

This one was a big spinning top with a red head and glowing yellow eyes, its wide lower body was multicoloured with yellow red and blue stripes, it also had flashing yellow, green, red and blue spots on it's neck. It was all perfectly balanced on a black needle.

Looking at it with widened eyes Riku saw alarmed that it was preparing for it's next onslaught as it pumped it's head up and down a few times. It's body suddenly spun faster gaining speed as it sped forwards. It's target, Buzz.

Seeing this Riku quickly intervened as he rushed forwards towards Buzz who was still recovering from the blow.

Quickly calling his keyblade forth in a flash of light he struck back against the spinning body of the heartless, it grated angrily against his fighting power.

Waking up from an awful aching sensation, Nozomi then saw Riku fighting back against the heartless, alarmed at what she was seeing, she quickly then too called on her keyblade as she rushed into help.

As Riku was fighting back against the heartless, Buzz by then had got out of his dizziness as he then saw his assassin and Riku's struggles as he decided to assist him, "stand back! I'll handle this!" He shouted heroically.

Doing that he got into position as he reached his left arm out and aimed as he called on his deadly laser as he aimed at it at the creature's head… that didn't do anything.

Riku bitterly annoyed by this idiocy and the heartless summoned all his strength as he pushed the creature back, taking his force the spinning top heartless spun backwards.

Unfortunately in Nozomi's direction, "yikes!" She cried out alarmed as she barely hit the creature with her own keyblade herself sending it quickly to another side as Riku had.

Seeing that it was him that had done it Nozomi's anger came once again in full pelt, "why don't you look where you're aiming idiot!" She shouted.

Riku annoyed himself looked at her angrily, "I had no time to think stupid! And this is no time to argue!"

Annoyed herself at this, she definitely saw that it was no time for it as she quickly shut up as she saw that the heartless was gearing up for another attack, so running over quickly she took her position with him as they both had their keyblades raised, while Buzz on the other hand just continued on with his powerless laser.

Cait sith in the meantime had run over to the king who was still dizzy himself from the attack, "yer highness! C'mon that lass and laddie need yer help!"

Finally awakening fully the king looked over and saw the continuing battle between Nozomi, Riku and Buzz against the spinning top heartless. But as he spied them he looked past and saw that Woody only continued to look on. He didn't give them any assistance and instead only continued to watch however he seemed to be horrified at what was happening. This immediately was an alert within the king's mind.

Meanwhile Nozomi and Riku were preparing themselves against the heartless as it was preparing it's onslaught, it started to pump it's head in and out quickly as it's body spun faster and faster gaining speed. The lights on its neck glowed brighter and brighter shinning with multi coloured energy.

Riku and Nozomi readied themselves for the onslaught and even Buzz was preparing himself as he had his fists up ready for some hand on action. However at this simple gesture it was there and then that the heartless let out its attack as it spun towards them faster than the eye could see.

"Move it!!!" The king cried out alarmed as he ran forwards in front of its path, however it was too late, the group of combatants as well the king himself were all struck out the window by the heartless's empowered attack.

"AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

But before her lips could meet her beloved suddenly the whole atmosphere the world the two were in drastically changed as suddenly, a huge storm cloud came overhead.

It blocked out the gloriousness and warmth of the sunlight as it created a horrible atmosphere of foreboding.

"It looks like it will begin soon…"

"Yes… it seems so… Terra…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nozomi blearily from unconsciousness as she uttered that familiar name that had been mentioned once more, "Terra?"

But then getting up painfully she saw that she was within a green bush, the still warm tones of the sunset were over head as not too much time could have passed from the attack.

"Wait a moment the attack? The attack!" Nozomi gasped as she realised the others had been sent down with her too! Quickly getting up though a little painfully she went to look for the others, "Riku! King Mickey! Buzz! Cait sith!" She shouted as she rummaged through the greenery.

"Over here lass!" Cait sith cried.

Relief quickly washing over Nozomi rushed over to where she thought she could hear the sound, arriving she saw that the others were all unconscious with Cait sith in the centre of the ring, he looked up at her relieved.

"Is everyone alright?!" She asked still anxious slightly, though they were toys, they could all still get hurt.

Waking up at the sound of her voice Riku muttered, "I've had better days…" his head ached as he went to soothe it.

"Wow that was certainly an experience," the king uttered, for though he was a fluffy cuddly toy even his head shook slightly from the experience.

Then finally Buzz awoke as he looked around himself as he asked loudly, "All right! Where is he where's that good for nothing invader!" He asked angrily wishing for a rematch.

Finally calm knowing everyone was at least in one piece Nozomi sighed gratefully, "I'm glad everyone's all right, but I can't believe it! A heartless! Here of all places!" But then as she spoke these words a sudden realisation came in her head, "wait a minute if a heartless is here then that means… that fatso's here!" As the thought appeared in her mind Nozomi's blood boiled at the thought of Oralee's kidnapper!

Riku hearing her and her realisation he then uttered, "well done again Sherlock."

"Um what are you people talking about?" Buzz asked puzzled.

Hearing him Nozomi paused as she didn't know really what to say to this due to the world order and so on, but then fortunately it was the king who intervened, "well, let's just say we've got some business with a bad guy… and the person who called him here."

As everyone listened to him it everyone became puzzled at the last part as Nozomi sounded as she asked, "um your majesty, what do you mean who summoned him?"

The king looked a little sad at having to tell everyone this especially Nozomi since she had a soft spot for the toy, "I'm talking about the person who's responsible for sending us all out the window."

Everyone was still quiet and Nozomi was further puzzled until it was Riku who caught onto the information, "your majesty! You don't mean it was?!"

The king nodded as he went to the bush and peeked through it, the others watching him do this then too did the same thing as they also looked through the leaves of the bush.

What they saw was Andy looking depressed slightly as there in his hand swinging back and forth slightly in doll mode was none other than Woody and his smiling face.

Looking at Woody being carried, it was then everything clicked into place into Nozomi's mind as she uttered, "no, no that can't be… Woody wouldn't-"

However Buzz was more than convinced as he said angrily, "I knew that sheriff had some hidden agenda in him!"

Nozomi though was still in disbelief, it couldn't be true 'Why? Why had he called out to us to look out? That couldn't have been fake! It was-'

Unfortunately there was no time to speak as suddenly the car Andy had gotten into had started up and was beginning to leave.

"We're gonna have to go and get some answers from him!" The king spoke determined as he rushed out first, the others quickly followed pursuit, though Nozomi still showed hesitation in her expression as she followed.

Grabbing onto the back of the car everyone held onto dear life as they would soon at the next stop gain their answers…
