Chapter XXXXVII: The world of toys final part I

Running outside of the driveway and onto the road, the group of hurried toys came to a halt as they saw that both the truck and the car Andy was travelling within was ahead of them at quite a distance. It was too big for them to run up to.

"Oh no! We'll never catch up to that distance!" Woody cried distressed.

Everyone was quickly becoming disheartened at this realisation, Nozomi looked down at the ground feeling helpless, as was everyone else.

"We can cover that distance," Araxne spoke up as she looked with eyes of determination.

Hearing her say this Riku asked her disbelieving, "You can do that?"

Looking at him with her cool eyes she replied, "of course I can."

Suddenly Buzz interrupted as he walked over with king Mickey still taped to his back, "but how though! I mean there at least some fifty metres ahead of us! How-"

Interrupting him suddenly Araxne twirled on her high shoes as suddenly from a whirl of darkness appeared her enormous spider nobody, this time though it was considerably bigger when she'd last summoned it.

Everyone was silent as they looked up at it with amazement, Araxne then explained, "we will ride upon my creation Spidron, he has enough power and speed to cover the distance."

With that she jumped and landed upon it she looked down at everyone waiting for them to join her.

Looking up at her and then at the moving truck far off in the distance Nozomi then smiled as she ran on her blades, jumped and landed next to Araxne as she beamed down to everyone, "well what are we waiting for!"

Watching from the bushes of the houses lawn Hari and Pete watched as the group rode upon the enormous spider creature as it was scurrying at incredible speed after the moving truck, quickly gaining.

Looking at the unusual sight Pete asked her, "so uh? What're we gonna do now?"

Hearing his question Hari turned back and looked at him as she replied, "we shall simply give an intervention… after all that cowboy doll still has to give us what he owes us…"

Holding onto the surface of the nobody creature for dear life Nozomi felt her hair blowing hard in the wind as she gritted her teeth as was Cait sith holding onto her shoulder tight.

The others too were doing the same as they all held on tight to whatever they could, either the sofa in the centre which both Nozomi and Woody were doing while Araxne stood at the head, or the web guard at the back as Riku held onto it tightly as did Buzz though he was careful not to hit the king against it.

Finally covering the distance between themselves and the truck Nozomi saw a loose pull string looking at she cried, "That's it! We can grab onto that thing and make our way up!"

Hearing her everyone else saw it too as they all smiled in relief and happiness that they'd made it to their destination, king Mickey then spoke out, "good idea! Everyone go in a single file! Nozomi you go on up first!"

Looking at him Nozomi replied with a smile, "yes your highness!" With that she turned quick to Cait sith and asked him, "You ready for this!"

"As ready as ya are lass!" He replied back, smiling at his reply Nozomi quickly skated forwards quickly as she jumped over and caught onto the pull. Holding it hard and fast she quickly climbed up being careful not to make a slip up with her wheeled feet.

Making it quickly and easily she waved back to everyone, "guys come on! Hurry up!" She cried smiling.

Shaking his head as he heard her calling Riku replied with a slight smirk, "all right! Just give us a minute will you!"

"Okay then let's board that transport!" Buzz spoke with strong pride as he and Riku both ran to the pull rope to.

Looking at his friends Woody smiled at their good fortune and looked up to Araxne to give her a thank you, but when he looked at her he saw that she seemed to be struggling. Sweat was pouring down her face and she seemed almost breathless as she had her eyes clenched shut. He looked at this in alarm.

Riku, Buzz and king Mickey then arrived on top along with Nozomi all of them relieved that they'd made it, as they all laughed together Nozomi turned around to see what was keeping Araxne and Woody from joining them.

Her smile quickly vanished as she saw that Woody was now carrying Araxne in his arms as he was quickly running towards them.

"Araxne!" Nozomi cried out alarmed.

Everybody then quickly turned around to see her bad state, as they too looked on alarmed at what was happening, it was then Buzz cried out, "what's wrong?! Is she all right!"

Woody then had caught onto the pull rope holding onto her with his left arm as he held onto the rope with his left. As he had made it suddenly the spider nobody Spidron quickly disappeared into dark embers leaving no back up for him or her.

Woody looked up at the others as he told them, "She's in trouble! She's says she's weak from callin out that thing! It's drained her!"

Everybody turned really anxious as they heard this, Nozomi then cried in worry, "quick! We've got to pull them both up!"

Looking at her Riku immediately replied, "right!"

Acting quickly Riku went down the pull rope followed as well by Buzz; he slid low over Woody as he told him, "Reach her up to me! I'll pass her up to Buzz!"

Hearing him Woody nodded to this as he replied, "okay! You be careful with her!" With that Woody pulled Araxne with all his strength as he lifted her long armed sleeve to him.

Grabbing onto her firmly Riku quickly tugged her up from Woody's grasp as he then mustered his own strength clenching his teeth as he finally passed her to Buzz.

Pulling her quickly up Buzz laid her down on the metallic floor to check her over making sure she was okay, Nozomi ran over as she looked over her new friend in worry.

"Araxne! Aranxne can you hear me!" She cried panicked.

Feeling her name being called, she opened her eyes wearily as she looked at Buzz and Nozomi with a slight drowsiness in her eyes, "Nozomi?"

Feeling relief welling up Nozomi replied, "Oh I'm so glad you're okay!"

Looking at her Buzz asked her concerned, "what happened to you? Why've you become so weak?"

Looking at him Araxne answered as she breathed a little steadily in and out, "I over exerted myself, I had to give twice the amount of energy to Spidorn so that he could deliver us here… I over estimated myself… if I had done anymore I would have faded away… if not for Woody."

Hearing what she had done for them Nozomi felt pain in herself as she heard what she had nearly sacrificed to get them here, however before she could reply Cait sith intervened, "why'd ya go and do a daft thing like that! Sacrficin yerself like that won't be helpin us at all!"

Hearing him say this Nozomi looked at him annoyed but before she could say anything Araxne replied, "yes… you are correct… I apologise."

Turning and listening to Araxne Nozomi moved herself over closer as she kneeled down and looked over, seeing Nozomi gazing down at her Araxne spoke again, "I am sorry to you as well… I won't be able to assist you for a while now."

Shaking her head as she heard her Nozomi replied, "it's okay, don't strain yourself okay? You just take it easy."

Hearing her reply Araxne smiled again as she nodded her head slightly as she rested herself.

Sighing as she did this Nozomi turned and looked over to the pull rope and saw Riku had now too had pulled himself over, he quickly ran over to see what was happening with Araxne. As he made it to them Nozomi walked over to the rope again as she left Araxne to be cared for by Buzz and Riku with Cait sith on her shoulder as she went to help Woody up.

"all right! Let's get old cow boots up here!" Cait sith said as he wagged his tail too and throw.

Nodding she looked over the edge as she saw that Woody had nearly made it up to them, seeing him she smiled as she reached her right arm out, "hey! Need a hand up?

Looking up at her he grinned himself as he reached his left arm up to her, "yeah! I'll be glad to make it up there."

Feeling her sadness flee her Nozomi felt her smile broaden at those words as she took his hand, but suddenly she heard something.

Woody watched as he saw Nozomi lift her head up and as he did he saw that her face turned with wide eyes of shock, confused at this he turned his head around as he immediately became alarmed too.

Buzz, Riku and Mickey relaxed that Araxne was going to be all right were all suddenly startled as suddenly, "AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Spinning quickly around they saw with horrible alarm Skud had returned, but he was not exactly the same as before, for now he had a huge black like mask device over it's head as it smiled at them all with glowing yellow eyes, along with buzzing and blinking green and red lights. In the centre of the forehead was an all too familiar symbol… the heartless symbol.

The possessed dog bit into Woody's leg as he shouted, "Get away, you stupid dog! Down!"
"Woody!" Nozomi cried out as she desperately tried to hang onto him with right arm and hand, while his right was holding onto the pull rope.

"I'm afraid there ain't gonna be no rescue this time around!" Came again an irritating voice.

Looking up Nozomi saw with surprise and then bitter hatred that it was Pete again as he was standing on Skud's back with his arms folded as he had an evil smirk on his face.

Seeing what was happening king Mickey cried, "Pete!"

"Why howdy to ya all again!" Pete laughed aloud.

"How did you get back here! I thought you'd-"

However Riku was interrupted as Pete spoke, "ha! Ya honestly thought that that string show was enough to get rid of me!? Well fraid not! I'm here to collect what rightfully belongs to me!"

Looking at him in disbelief Nozomi exclaimed, "belongs to you!?"

"Right ya are sweet cheeks! I'm here ta take old Woody's heart here! Then turn him into a heartless! Maleficent will be mighty proud of that!" He laughed loudly.

Hearing this horrible announcement Woody looked at Pete in horror at while Nozomi and the others looked with shock and then anger, but before they could all act there was suddenly another awful sound.

A huge sound of fabric ripping as Woody's leg was beginning to give into Skud's sharp teeth as it was coming undone at the seams.

Hearing this happening everyone was growing more and more alarmed as Nozomi desperately tried to hold tighter as her grip was beginning to slip too, seeing her struggle Buzz reached down too as he told him, "hand on Woody!"

But it was too late as Nozomi lost her grip on Woody's hand and he was now at the very end of the pull rope as held on with his right he looked up at everyone painfully and sadly as he said, "I can't do it… I'm sorry…"

Pete grinned further and further as victory was now in his reach, Nozomi and the others looked at Woody horrified as he then told them all sorrowfully, "take care of Andy for me!"

However not accepting any more sacrifice Nozomi and Buzz and Mickey on his back jumped off together as they shouted , "NOOOOOO!!!!"

Aiming quickly Nozomi brought out her keyblade as she smashed it into the heartless, while Buzz directed a fierce punch. This made the heartless control dog howl in pain as Nozomi and Buzz continued their onslaught.

Seeing what the idiot had done as well as the once ignorant astronaut, Riku and Woody both cried out, "Buzz!" "Nozomi!"

Startled at what they'd done for him, Woody looked on with determination as he was not gonna give in to this! Quickly he climbed up the pull rope and turned to Riku and Araxne who was still on the floor as she was desperately trying to lift herself up.

Looking at Woody Riku asked, "What do we do!"

Hearing him Woody quickly looked around as he then saw the open lever, he had an idea looking to him he quickly called him over, "help me open this!"

Looking at the lever, Riku had no idea what he was planning but quickly went to assist him, quickly they both pulled lever, then taking Woody's initiative Riku went to the opposite handle next to him. With that the two of them pulled trying to get the door open.

Forcing the heartless controlled dog back with their mighty strikes Pete held his head as he felt the impact too, looking at them angrily he shook his fist as he cried angrily, "you'll pay for this!"

"Oh we'll see who's going to pay!" Nozomi responded enraged as she quickly skated forwards, then calling on her power she lifted herself into the air as she then aimed directly for him.

Cait sith on her shoulder as her aid quickly noticed something to their left, seeing it alarmed he quickly cried out, "Look out lass!"

Distracted Nozomi asked, "huh?"

Then suddenly she was struck as was sent flying backwards, "Aaagghhh!" Though in pain she quickly regained herself as she landed on the road floor, looking around herself she asked, what was that! What hit me!"

Suddenly she then got her answer as their descending to the ground gracefully with her metallic wings was none other than Hari as she looked at her with her all too familiar green cold eyes.

Looking shocked Nozomi cried, "Hari! It's you again!"

Staring at her with a cold calmness she responded, "indeed… it has been quite some time since our last encounter."

"Nozomi!" Buzz cried out as he saw her situation.

Mickey on Buzz's back though suddenly saw the heartless gear it's attack up as he cried to him, "Buzz look out!"

Turning back though it was too late as suddenly he and the king were struck by a wave of electricity that sent them off and then with Skud's powerful jaws, they were both sent flying underneath a parked car.

Grinning at his success Pete cried as he sent his controlled beast after them as it barked at them from the outside, "ha! Now I got ya! He ended laughing manically.

Staring wide-eyed at what was happening Nozomi turned to Hari angrily as she said, "I don't have time for you Hari! Get out of my way now!"

Hearing her words though Hari only called her keyblade out once more as she responded, "I do not listen to your wishes… the time for us to battle is now…"

Gritting her teeth and clenching the Starseeker as Cait sith stood on her shoulder with his hair raised just as agitated, Nozomi immediately engaged with her.

Having arrived at some traffic lights the truck had now stopped which had caused the door to lift open, with good luck on their side Woody and Riku had now gone into the loading bay and were quickly looking through the boxes.

Looking Riku quickly asked, "What is it we're looking for!"

Woody quickly responded, "Andy's toys box's!"

Nodding as he heard this they both started pulling and moving the boxes around, Woody quickly lifted out one and then opened it quickly.

Inside it were none other than Rex, Potato head, Slinky, Rocky and Ham they all awaked as they looked around blearily, curious Rex asked, "Are we there already?"

Suddenly though they realised that they had company they all cried out surprised, "Woody! Riku! How did you-"

However it wasn't the box that Woody was looking for, so pushing it aside he cried out, "oh where is it!"

Suddenly a call came from opposite, "is this what you're seeking?"

Riku and Woody looking opposite saw that Araxne had made it in with them and had opened another box of toys. Running quickly over Woody looked in as did Riku. Woody suddenly smiled as Riku looked surprised at what they'd found.

"That's it! Great work! Well done Araxne!" With that he quickly pulled out assisted by Riku the green and blue flamed coloured racing car R-C meanwhile the other toys had appeared out of their box as they each asked, "what's goin' on? "What're they takin?"

Now leaning the car over the edge of the truck Riku quickly kicked R-C off as Woody grabbed the remote, the sent the other toys into a rampage as Rex cried out, "they're at it again!"

Quickly taking control Woody drove R-C forwards towards the battle scene watching was happening Riku quickly told him, "I hope this plan of yours works."

Brimming with over confidence Woody replied, "oh it will!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Still in the midst of battle with Hari Nozomi found she was still as hard as ever as the two of them clashed together over and over their keyblades a blazed. Even with her roller blades giving her more speed Nozomi still found she was not any match for her strength.

She was also incredibly worried for Mickey and Buzz's safety as the heartless controlled dog was still trying to get at them, then bashing another blow away Nozomi paused for a moment as she breathed in and out heavily.

Cait sith on her shoulder once again felt something looking once again he cried, "lass look!"

Turning quickly Nozomi quickly saw the toy car rushed past as went past Pete and his controlled creature, looking at it he cried, "hey what the heck is that there!"

R-C confused arrived underneath and then saw much to its delight Buzz and king Mickey alive and well, as they too looked on relieved overjoyed.

Nozomi smiled too as she looked back and saw that the others were assisting them too, she knew they could win!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Woody laughed in triumph at their success as Riku smiled too that something was going their way, but then suddenly the truck started to move once again and as it did there was suddenly a cry from potato head as he shouted, "Get them!"

With that the toys all spilled out of their boxes as they charged the assumed murderers, hearing them Riku and Woody looked alarmed, but then quickly taking charge Riku called out his own keyblade as he told Woody, "you keep driving! I'll handle these guys!"

Hearing him Woody nodded as he replied, "right!"

With that he went back to controlling R-C and rescuing his friends out of their situation.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now on board R-C Buzz held on tightly to it's top as Mickey was made to look behind and watch was happening between Hari, Nozomi and the controlled dog.

Racing quickly outwards they were now on the open road, however Pete seeing this quickly cried, " oh no ya don't! I'll turn ya both into heartless by the time I'm finished!"

With that he made the creature run forwards to chase after them, seeing Pete doing this and countering another attack from Hari, Nozomi quickly went to chase after them as she skated on her blades fast and furiously.

Meanwhile for Buzz and Mickey it was very alarming for them to be chased as the heartless upon the head of the dog made the creature more nightmarish as it's buzz's and electrical energy continued to circulate, they both looked back and forward.

Chasing after them as hard as she could Nozomi was quickly beginning to catch up however Cait sith looked over her shoulder and saw much to his devastation Hari was continuing after them as she had her metallic wings open.

"Lass! Ya rival's coming again!" He spoke anxiously.

Looking back and seeing Hari Nozomi looked with wide eyes, gasping trying to keep[ her strength up Nozomi spoke aloud, "damn! She doesn't let up does she! We've gotta do something to get rid of her!"

Hearing her say this Cait sith responded, "that's why ya got me lass!"

Looking at him Nozomi blinked her eyes as Cait sith responded, "now let's brainstorm somethin together!"

Hearing this smiled as best she could and said, "okay, let's!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile back on the truck Woody was still doing his best to control R-C making sure not to get the king and Buzz eaten alive from the horrible creature.

Riku in the meantime was dealing with the toys keeping them at bay with his keyblade, though he was doing his best not to hurt them but to keep them at a distance.

As he was doing this suddenly there was a cry from Potato head, "hey! There's that girl who found R-C for them!"

Riku and Buzz then looked on alarmed for Araxne had been trying to conceal herself away from the battle, due to her severe lack of energy but now since they had found her she was defenceless.

Seeing this Riku quickly went to intervene.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nozomi having discussed things with Cait sith now had a way to kill two birds with one stone, quickly she ran on forwards and saw that Hari was still flying ever after them.

Then looking forward she saw that she and Cait sith had now got to beside the heartless controlled monster, so now at that stage Nozomi initiated the plan.

Taking the green shining gem that she had now learned was a summoning gem into her right hand she lifted it high as it glowed brightly, "grant me power!" She cried.

With that she then threw it into the air and as she did from the shining green light appeared the forest spirit whom she had now dubbed Maia, she flowed in florescent light and floated with her. She smiled at her as Nozomi did too, then quickly Maia flew into Nozomi's keyblade as she felt her magical power strengthen.

Taking this power Nozomi quickly cried out, "haste!"

With that the speed increasing spell was cast and then with it Nozomi thundered forwards fast and furiously.

Pete confused at what was going on stared at Nozomi and her little act of magic and asked curious, "now what may that pip squeak be up to then?"

Now in front of the heartless controlled dog was now behind Buzz and Mickey still on R-C, seeing she was right where she wanted to be she quickly spoke to Cait sith, "right let's get this going then!"

Grinning as much as she was Cait sith replied, "Right ya are lass!"

With that Nozomi skated forwards fiercely and then right on cue appeared Hari with her wings still aloft as she had her keybklade ready for the two of them, seeing her Nozomi then called on her wings and flew into the air.

Hari seeing her do this immediately went to intercept as she dived forwards like hawk, however as she did Nozomi felt her magical power increase as then one of her spells upgraded as she then casted quickly, "FIRA!!!"

With that a huge ball of fire came hurtling towards her, seeing this Hari quickly struck into it with her keyblade as it destroyed the ball of energy.

But then suddenly, "Swift star rays!"

A barrage of powerful star beams struck her sending Hari flying backwards, and the remaining rays that remained struck the brain controlling heartless.

The creature howled in pain as did Skud as they both felt the impact of the powerful attack, Pete looked alarmed at this as he asked, "how could that little nit do this ta-"

"AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Came a furious battle cry as Nozomi used what energy she had and skated on the ground gaining incredible power as she then made herself fly into the air in a double kick.

Her wings appeared too at the same time making her a missile in the air as she smashed right through the heartless.

It was destroyed in seconds as its dark embers quickly flowed away and the heart it had encaptured quickly floated away and vanished.

Pete's eyes widened as suddenly Nozomi came straight at him and with her powerful kick still there she struck him right in the belly. He gasped loudly in pain as he was then sent bouncing off Skud as Nozomi had now ricocheted off his and was now flying forwards back towards Buzz and Mickey.

Seeing the incredible attack that she had performed Buzz looked at her amazed eyes, however Nozomi was now gasping really heavily as she had used an enormous amount of energy to stop Skud, Pete and Hari.

She reached her arm out desperately to them as Cait sith cried, "help this lass out lads!"

Hearing this Buzz and Mickey reached for her and then the king grabbing her left and Buzz her right they quickly pulled her forwards and sat her on R-C's front.

She was gasping still trying to regain her strength, Buzz in marvel told her, "That was amazing what you did there."

Smiling still breathless Nozomi smiled, "thanks…"
