Greetings everyone. I am Sub-Strider. I bring you another Sabotage Y story. We return to the Toy Box. This time in a… Terrifying(?) tale partially based off of Toy
Content includes: O.C., O.O.C behavior and Toy Disassembly. (No blood or gore because that would just be cheesy…)
With that out of the way, let's begin. This is…
Sabotage Y: Destruction, Redemption and Reunion
BGM: None
"Ugh…", Y let out an annoyed groan as she rolled around in her sleep feeling something poking her body with every movement.
"Alright, what's poking me?!", Y questioned angrily and loudly as she snapped awake, sat up and looked to see what was poking her and saw… grass?
"Huh, how'd I get out here?", Y questioned to herself before realizing something.
"Mindy? Mindy, where are you?!", Y questioned, frantically turning her head in all directions in search of her lover.
What Y saw instead was a house... A very familiar house…
BGM: The Legend Of Dragoon OST – Uneasy State
The house in question was gigantic. What immediately came to Y's attention was the front door of the house was far bigger than a normal person.
"What's going on here? Why am I on someone's front lawn and why does it feel like I know this place?", Y questioned to herself, tapping her forehead with her fingers.
However… when Y's fingers made contact with her forehead, something was wrong. It felt like Y was touching plastic and not flesh.
Y immediately looked at her hand and saw that it had a plastic texture as well as there being Action Figure styled joints on her wrist, fingers and knuckles.
Y's eyes widened as she realized where she was.
("I do know this place… It's the Toy Story world!"), Y thought to herself moving her hand, having not been in this kind of body in a long time.
The blonde skater from Jersey then saw that she was her wearing her standard outfit and her body resembled her adult self.
("Something feels wrong… Why am I here in front of Andy's house? Did something happen?"), Y questioned to herself, still confused on the situation.
The blonde then looked towards the mail slot on the front door.
("I guess there's only one way to find out…"), Y thought to herself as she walked towards the front door.
That is, until Y felt something hit her leg with a small "clunk" sound.
"Huh? What's this?", Y questioned to herself as she began moving blades of grass out of the way to see what she hit.
Y's eyes widened as she saw what was hit.
It was a skateboard…
The skateboard had blue grip tape, blue wheels and a blue star design on the underside.
"One of my old decks… I don't believe it…", Y said quietly to herself as she picked up the skateboard and examined it. Surprisingly, it was still in good condition.
Skateboard in hand, the Skater then began her approach towards the front door.
However, Y felt as if she was being watched…
"Welcome back… Sabotage Y…"
A demonic but somewhatfamiliar voice whispered tauntingly in Y's ear, sending an unpleasant chill up the Skater's spine.
The blonde's brown eyes immediately darted in several directions as she quickly looked around the moonlit area for the source of the voice.
But instead… The transformed Skater saw something much worse…
BGM: Kingdom Hearts PS2 OST – Hollow Bastion (Field Theme)
Entangled in the nearby bushes was the removed head of someone Y had not seen in a long time…
"J-Jessie?", Y questioned, trying desperately to not believe what she's seeing in front of her.
Just then the decapitated cowgirl's eyes fluttered open and looked towards Y.
The redhead's eyes widened with recognition at the friend she had not seen in years now all grown up.
"Oh Jesus, Jessie!", Y exclaimed as she rushed over to the bushes and pulled Jessie (or her Head, more rather.) out of the shrubbery and brushed the dirt off of the Cowgirl's face.
"What happened? Who did this to you?", Y questioned, carefully holding Jessie at face level.
Jessie then attempted to speak but no words could heard.
"You can't speak…", Y stated, saddened.
Jessie moved her eyes left and right to simulate shaking her head.
"What can we do?", Y questioned, trying to figure out a plan.
Y then noticed that Jessie was moving her eyes towards the front door as if trying to tell the Skater something.
"We should probably get inside, huh?", Y questioned.
Jessie moved her eyes up and down to simulate nodding.
Y then carefully placed Jessie under her arm and hopped onto her skateboard.
With an exhale, Y began skating towards the front door of Andy's house.
Once the two were at the front door. Y carefully climbed inside, using the mail slot on the door with Jessie and the Skateboard in hand.
"Alright, so what's the plan here?", Y questioned, holding Jessie at eye level.
Jessie then moved her eyes towards a door on the second floor of the house.
"That's… That's Andy's Room, right?", Y questioned, struggling to remember the layout of the house.
Jessie "nodded" in response to Y's question.
"Looks like we're going to have to climb our way up…", Y stated, looking at the massive staircase in front of her.
Y then saw a rubber band by her foot and got an idea.
Using the rubber band to tie the Skateboard to her back, Y began climbing up the steps, using her free hand while still holding Jessie.
1 hour of climbing later…
Y and Jessie were now at the top of the stairs. The first thing Y noticed was Buster, the family dog. However the dog looked much older and… scared…? Buster was facing away from the door to Andy's Room, covering his face and quietly whimpering in fear of something.
("Something is definitely wrong here…"), Y thought to herself as she looked sympathetically towards Buster.
Moving past the scared dog, Y then saw that the door opened a small crack, enough for a toy to fit through without much issue.
"Your body's in there, isn't it?", Y questioned to Jessie, gesturing towards Andy's Room.
Jessie could only "Nod" in response to this question…
Y quietly exhaled with dread.
"Would you be mad if I said I had a bad feeling about this?", A very uneasy Y questioned.
Jessie "shook" her head in response, feeling the same dread that Y was feeling.
Neither of the two wanted to go inside Andy's Room…
("There's something in there… It wants us to go in there. It's waiting for us…"), Y thought to herself, scowling at the situation.
("But if we don't go in there, I can't get Jessie reattached to her body and try to figure out what is going on here… What do I do?"), Y continued thinking to herself as her scowl faded and was replaced with a look of unease on her face as Jessie looked on with worry.
Y then noticed Jessie's worried face and made her decision.
("Damn it, I don't have a choice… this isn't about me, this is about my friends… Something is wrong, and I have to help them if I can."), Y thought to herself, cursing at herself for being scared.
"You ready, Jessie?", Y questioned to Jessie. The decapitated cowgirl's response was a simple "nod".
With that, Y and Jessie carefully entered Andy's Room.
Immediately, Y noticed that Andy's toys were nowhere in sight and that there was a suspicious looking lump underneath a nearby floor rug.
"Where is everyone?", Y questioned, not really expecting an answer.
("And what's going on with the rug?"), Y thought to herself.
Jessie tried to help look around too but didn't find much either. Although the redhead was just as curious about the lump under the rug as Y was.
"You got any ideas where your body might be?", Y questioned, holding Jessie so that she could respond.
Jessie replied by "Shaking" her head no. However, when the cowgirl was giving her response, she noticed something… peculiar…
Jessie then looked towards the area she saw before and noticed an odd-looking shadow on a nearby wall due to the moonlight shining on something…
The shadow itself resembled something being hung by it's arms by a rope.
The two gave each other puzzled looks before trying to search for the source of the shadow.
Eventually, the two managed to find the source of the shadow. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant sight.
Y and Jessie's eyes widened as they saw Jessie's body hanging by the wrists from a piece of yarn on one of the blades of the ceiling fan.
"How'd it get up there?" A visibly baffled Y quietly questioned to herself.
Just then the yarn that was holding Jessie's wrist suddenly came undone on it's own, sending it plummeting to the floor below.
Y immediately ran towards Jessie's body while still holding her head.
With one last lunge, Y managed to just barely catch Jessie's body.
"Alright, let's get you put back together.", Y stated as she made Jessie's body stand up straight as she placed Jessie's head back on.
Suddenly, Jessie's body began moving on it's own, helping to reattach her head.
After about a minute or so, Jessie was now whole once more.
"Can you speak now?", Y questioned to the rebuilt cowgirl as she tapped her throat.
"can you hear me?", Jessie questioned in a quiet, scratchy voice.
"Barely, what happened here? who did this to you?", Y questioned.
"I don't know for sure. But when I was sleeping, I heard a creepy demonic voice say that punishment was coming…", Jessie replied.
"Punishment? Punishment for what? What did you guys do?", Y questioned.
"that's the weird thing… the voice wasn't talking about punishment for us… it was talking about punishment for… you…", Jessie replied hesitantly, causing Y's eyes to widen before scowling in confusion.
"Punishment for me? Why…?", Y questioned.
"I don't know… after the voice was done talking, I woke up after hearing your voice.", Jessie explained, sounding confused at the situation.
"I see… The only plan I can come up with at this point is to find Woody, Buzz and the others. Maybe they'll be able to tell us what's going on here.", Y explained, with Jessie nodding in response.
"where are they though? Something feels wrong here… really wrong…", Jessie replied, looking around uneasily.
"Yeah… I know what you mean… Ever since I got here, it feels like something or someone has been watching me…", Y replied, partially confusing Jessie.
"um… anyways… that lump underneath that rug looks really strange. maybe that's where everyone is hiding…", Jessie suggested.
"Well... There's only one way to find out. Let's get moving...", Y stated before moving towards the rug with Jessie following close behind.
"so... I haven't seen you in years... how have you been?", Jessie questioned while following Y.
"Honestly, I've been kidnapped, got forced into a competition, Caused massive amounts of property damage, was stranded in the woods for a few days, managed to get to Los Angeles, helped prevent a piece of Skateboarding History from being torn down and got a girlfriend. So there's that...", Y replied, secretly hoping that Mindy is ok.
"wow, sounds like you've been busy...", Jessie replied with surprise.
"Yeah... as crazy as this is gonna sound... everything I just listed to you... That's all happened in the last two weeks... at least there was a silver lining to all of it...", Y stated, sounding partially annoyed.
"are you alright? You sound... kind of grouchy...", Jessie questioned, noticing that Y's annoyance.
"Yeah, it's nothing...", Y replied.
Jessie, however, was not convinced, but kept quiet.
"So where's Andy at?", Y questioned, noticing that Andy was not in his bed.
"oh, he's at a friend's house. overnight study session...", Jessie replied, sounding saddened.
"Ugh... I know all about that... Unfortunately, that kind of thing is required when you're a teen and it only gets worse when you're an adult.", Y replied with annoyance again as they continued to approach.
"I guess you'd know all about that, because you're... you know... all grown up...", Jessie stated, trying her best not to annoy Y.
"Yeah... I do...", Y stated, stopping in her tracks and lowering her head.
"Y...?", Jessie questioned, taking Y's hand in her own.
"Huh? Oh, sorry...I was... Just remembering...", Y stated, looking at Jessie before looking back at the floor.
"remembering what?", Jessie questioned in response.
"Remembering the last time I saw you guys...", Y replied.
"You see... as I got older... I kind of brushed it off as just a dream and forgot about it... but the thing is... being here... Seeing all this and seeing how much has changed... I can't see this as just a dream... I... I can't explain it...", Y stated, struggling to explain and leaving Jessie at loss for words.
"I... um... uh... whoa...", Jessie replied, or more rather, tried to reply.
Y then noticed Jessie's look of confusion.
"Oh... Uh... Sorry... I didn't mean to weird you out like that. I guess I was getting worked up and feeling a bit nostalgic... I miss that day...", Y stated, rubbing the back of her head guiltily.
"it's ok... I've missed that day too..", Jessie replied, feeling nostalgic as well.
'oh! I just remembered! did you like the gift we got for you?", Jessie questioned excitedly.
"Gift?", Y question before thinking and racking her brain trying to remember.
Just then, a memory popped into Y's mind...
"Bouncy...", Y quietly stated to herself, having a moment of realization.
"So you guys were the ones who gave Bouncy to me... that explains a lot in all honesty...", Y stated, causing Jessie to smile.
"so you gave her a name... have you been taking care of her?", Jessie questioned.
"Of course I have. She's safe back... at... home...", Y cut herself off as an expression of horror grew on her face.
"Oh no...", Y stated in a hushed tone, placing her hands over the lower half of her face with the look of horror still present in her eyes.
"what? what is it? what's wrong?", Jessie questioned with concern in her voice.
"My mom... I've completely forgotten about her... Oh no no no no no... How in the world am I going to tell her that her only daughter was kidnapped, involved in causing massive amounts of property damage and got stranded in Los Angeles? And how am I going to explain that I have a Girlfriend?", Y questioned to herself in a fit of panic as Jessie watched on.
Jessie was about to say something but stopped herself due to not really knowing what to say or do in this situation.
Y, meanwhile, still had a look of panic on her face, trying to figure out how she was going to explain to her mother about what's happened in the past two weeks.
("What do I do? What do I do? Shit shit shit shit!"), Y thought in panic as she repeatedly swore and cursed at herself mentally.
Just then, Y felt a hand on her shoulder. The Skater then looked to see that it was Jessie with a look of sympathy on her face.
"Uh… right… sorry about that… what matters right now is figuring what's going on here…", Y stated, feeling embarrassed about freaking out the way she did.
"we're almost there, let's keep moving…", Jessie replied.
With a nod, Y and Jessie continued making their way towards the rug.
Eventually the two managed to reach the rug.
However, the same feeling of dread from before returned with a vengeance in Y and Jessie.
"I have a feeling that we're not going like what we find here…", Y stated with unease in her voice.
"well… I guess there's only one way to find out…", Jessie replied before grabbing the rug.
Y let out a quiet exhale before helping Jessie.
30 minutes later…
The two toys were just about to remove the rug on top of the lump.
However as the two were about to give the rug one final tug, it suddenly moved on it's own. This sent Jessie and Y flying backwards and caused them to be covered with the rug.
"what was that?!", Jessie questioned with bewilderment in her voice.
"I have a strong feeling that someone is messing with us, considering what I've seen tonight!", Y replied, sounding extremely annoyed as she and Jessie began making their way out from underneath the rug.
Eventually, Y managed to get out from underneath the rug.
However, as the blonde skater from Jersey was dusting herself off, she saw something that truly horrific…
BGM: none
"No…", Y quietly stated as she continued to look on with horror, dread and pain displayed on her face.
Jessie then exited from underneath the rug and saw Y's expression.
"Y…?", The redheaded cowgirl questioned before looking towards what Y was looking at and had a look similar to that of the blonde's.
In front of the two at this was a pile… a pile of pieces that used to be Andy's toys.
BGM: RPG Maker PS1 OST – Town 3
Broken… Smashed… some pieces even looked melted…
Y fell to her knees and lowered her head, feeling total anguish.
Jessie was desperately trying to deny what was in front her was true.
"Now you see it… Don't you…? Sabotage Y…"
The same demonic voice from stated tauntingly.
"oh no… not again!", Jessie exclaimed, looking around, trying find the source of the voice.
"This is the price you pay for your destruction…"
The demonic voice stated.
"You're a monster… you did this… didn't you? Why?", Y questioned, trying her best to fight back tears.
"I am the monster? Ha! You've broken far more than me… Who is really the monster here…?"
"You're nothing but a mistake… a mistake born of some fool's lust…"
The demonic voice continued.
"Who are you…? What do you want from me…?", Y questioned while still sorrowed.
BGM: RPG Maker PS1 OST - Forest
"Foolish girl, I am a God! And I only want one thing from you. To see and hear you suffer. You invoked me before it was my time! You and that voodoo fool…", The demonic voice stated with a tone of venom.
Upon hearing this statement, Y lifted her head up.
"New Orleans…", Y stated quietly, remembering when she (Unintentionally) helped raise the dead in New Orleans during the World Destruction tour.
"Yes… indeed. Your efforts may have closed the gateway, but now… You're nothing but my plaything…. You're going to be joining your friends soon enough… you'll be broken, helpless and most importantly… Trapped…", The demonic voice replied before laughing maniacally.
"where are you?", Jessie questioned with fear in her voice.
"Now why would I spoil the suspense? After all, a God can do whatever they want.", The demonic voice replied.
However, this made Y stop and think.
("A God? Where have I have heard that kind of thing before? Wait a minute…"), Y thought to herself before having a moment of epiphany.
Just then Y began looking at the piles of destroyed toys again and noticed that there was a specific toy not accounted for.

("So that's your game…"), Y thought to herself with a scowl on her face.
Y then stood back up, feeling anger in her heart.
"Jessie… Have you noticed something about the voice?", Y questioned towards Jessie with her back facing the redheaded cowgirl.
"what do you mean?", Jessie questioned with a confused look on her face.
"The more I hear the voice, the more it starts to sound familiar. It sounds like someone we know, but it sounds deeper with a weird echo.", Y explained, which made Jessie stop and think.
The cowgirl then began to notice that the demonic voice sounded vaguely to her, but she wasn't sure where Y was going with this.
"I guess so. but what does it mean?", Jessie questioned.
"Look over there…", Y replied simply, pointing at the pile of destroyed toys.
"why? what are we looking for?", The redhead questioned with a look of discomfort.
"There's someone not accounted for in that pile. Take a look and see for yourself.", Y replied enigmatically.
Jessie then began to look closely at the pile of pieces that used to be her friends with unease.
After a few minutes of this, it immediately clicked to Jessie as to what Y was talking about.
"Woody's not in there…", Jessie stated quietly.
"Exactly…", Y simply replied, causing Jessie to look at the blonde with terror.
"you… you don't think that Woody did this. do you, Y?", Jessie questioned in fear.
"Not quite…", Y replied, confusing Jessie once more.
"what? what do you mean?", Jessie questioned.
"I'm saying that I think a demon or evil spirit is possessing Woody's body and is using it to do all of this.", Y explained while quietly crossing her arms and lowering her head.
Jessie tried her best to reply to what Y was saying but only let out a small, confused "huh?". Jessie was at a lose for words, once more.
"Bear with me here, this is going to take some explaining.", Y stated cryptically.
BGM: GioGio's Bizarre Adventure Vento Aureo PS2 OST – Chariot Requiem's Theme
"During my teenage days, Several stories of poor quality sprang up. Each of them trying to be scary by using overly graphic detail, hyperrealism and popular characters of a movie or video game series being gruesomely murdered by a bad guy with a God complex possessing a friend of said characters.", Y continued, her arms still crossed.
"The guy who's doing all of this is acting exactly like the bad guys of all those stories.", Y concluded.
"so… what does all of that mean?", Jessie questioned, looking around nervously.
"It means that the one who's doing all of this will probably show himself soon… He's parading around in Woody's body and I have sneaking feeling that he's going to have black and red eyes with blood dripping out of them.", Y replied, tapping her foot quietly.
Just then the two heard a sinister chuckle from the demonic voice before he spoke.
"Well… it seems you're not as dense as you look… however you are only partially correct…", The demonic voice stated.
"Oh yeah? Then why don't you show your face and prove me wrong, freakshow?", Y replied with hostility.
"I'm right here…", The voice replied, although this time, it sounded very close to Y and Jessie.
Y immediately turned around and saw her and Jessie's tormenter…
The self proclaimed God resembled Woody, but just with unsettling black and red eyes.
"I may resemble your friend, but this body is mine… I have no use for the body of a child's forgotten plaything…",The false cowboy replied sadistically.
"what did you do to Woody?!", Jessie questioned, angered by the false toy's words.
"He is alive and unharmed… for the time being…", The demonic cowboy replied.
"What are you after?", Y questioned.
"As I said before, I wish to see and hear you suffer for your crimes against me, a God!", The false cowboy replied with anger in his voice.
"And that's it? You must really not be all great then…", Y replied, rolling her eyes and causing the self proclaimed God to pause.
"Just what are you trying to say, worm?", "Woody" questioned.
"I'm saying that even if you were invoked early before your time came, you should be WAY more powerful than this and I shouldn't even matter in your grand scheme of things. You call yourself a God? Well I don't see it!", Y replied with no signs of fear or hesitation in the Skater's voice, catching the cowboy off guard.
BGM: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Heritage for the Future OST – Shadow DIO'S Theme
"SILENCE!", The false toy bellowed, creating a small amount of wind that pushed Y and Jessie back a small amount.
Just then, the pale light of the moon illuminating the room turned to a haunting crimson.
"If you're so keen on getting your revenge, why'd you wait? Why didn't you make me suffer as soon as you showed up? Why'd you go after my friends first?", Y questioned tauntingly, annoying the tormenter further.
"You understand nothing, Foolish Brat!", The demonic cowboy replied angrily.
"Is that right? I think I understand that you're nothing but a spineless coward and a bully!", The blonde continued, unafraid of the demonic copy of one of her childhood friends.
The demonic cowboy then angrily snapped his fingers…
Suddenly, Y's left arm disassembled and fell to pieces on the floor, catching the Skater off guard as she fell to one knee.
Jessie had a look of horror on her face at what happened to Y before it turned to one of anger at the demonic cowboy.
"Y's right! You're nothing but a coward and a bully!", Jessie shouted towards the false cowboy which made Y smile.
"It sounds like you're back to normal.", Y stated as Jessie noticed that her voice was back to normal.
"It seems you need a reminder of my power!", The demonic cowboy replied angrily as he walked towards Jessie.
"Keep her out of this! This is between you and me!", Y shouted as she stepped in front of Jessie and used herself as a shield despite only having one arm.
With another snap of the cowboy's fingers, Y right leg suddenly disassembled itself and fell to the floor, leaving the blonde barely supporting herself on her only remaining hand and knee.
Jessie was about to come to the blonde's aid but was stopped by Y shouting, "Stay Back!".
"Is that all you've got? Finish it! Finish it and put my friends back to normal!", Y shouted, catching the God off guard.
Not once had he encountered a mortal with such courage and willingness to face one's own demise. Eventually and unfortunately… he composed himself…
"Very well… if that is you dying wish… Now begone, Sabotage Y!", The false toy replied before harshly kicking Y away with what was left of the blonde completely falling apart, scattering her pieces across the room.
"Y!", Jessie shouted as she tried in a futile attempt to help her friend, but was grabbed by the throat and lifted up by the false Woody.
"Noisy brat… Making demands of a God… serves her right…", The cowboy stated before turning his attention to Jessie.
"Now then… to leave you in pieces with the others… Consider this a mercy… You completed your role as bait perfectly… your owner no longer cares about you or your friends… you may now join them…", The demonic cowboy stated sadistically as Jessie tried desperately to fight back.
"You're a monster!", Jessie shouted while she thrashed against the false god, unintentionally kicking the false cowboy in the face, agitating him.
"Hmph… if there's one I despise, it's a sudden burst of courage… I was going to be merciful and end your pathetic existence quickly, but now? I'm going to make sure you never the light of day again!", The self proclaimed God replied with annoyance.
However as the demonic cowboy turned to properly look at Jessie while still holding her by the throat, he suddenly lost his footing and hit the floor face first while dropping Jessie.
BGM: none
"Who dares to toy with me!? Show yourself for I… will… show… no… Huh?", "Woody" cut himself off as he noticed a skateboard at his feet.
The skateboard in question was ,in fact, the same skateboard that Y had brought with her when she was helping Jessie find and attach her body.
"You know, to quote a friend, You're a sad, strange little man… You have my pity…", A familiar voice stated.
Both Jessie and the false Woody looked towards the source of the voice with bewilderment and froze at what they saw.

It was Y… standing in front of them, perfectly intact.
"How?! How are you alive?! This shouldn't be possible!", The false Woody shouted as he clambered back to his feet.
However, Y did not answer. She instead walked towards Jessie while holding something.
"I believe this is yours.", Y stated as she handed Jessie her signature hat.
"I… um… uh… thanks…", Jessie replied flabbergasted as she placed on her hat.
"Explain yourself! How are you standing before me now?!", The false toy questioned, fuming that one of his victims was standing in front of him, completely unharmed.
Y then turned her attention towards her and Jessie's tormenter.
"Oh right… I should probably explain what's going on…", Y stated nonchalantly.
Flashback (in Y's P.O.V.)
I remember being in pieces and floating in some kind of black void… I wasn't scared and I wasn't sad… I was more disappointed than anything.
I was disappointed that I was going out on such a low note and that those close to me wouldn't know what happened to me or why I disappeared.
As I began accepting that this was it. Someone spoke to me…
"Don't give up!", a feminine voice shouted to me in the darkness.
I didn't know who was speaking to me, but yet it felt familiar…
"I'm glad I finally found you… I just wish it was under better circumstances…", The voice stated.
"Who are you? How do you know who I am?", I questioned, my eyes still closed.
"Open your eyes and see…", The voice replied cryptically.
I opened my eyes and saw someone I didn't expect…
BGM: Kingdom Hearts PS2 OST – Deep Jungle (Field Theme)
Bouncy…
The stuffed toy I got when I was in Olliewood years ago was now alive and talking to me.
Her eyes conveyed a look of happiness towards me.
I then noticed that I wasn't in pieces anymore and that I was sitting in the palm of her hand.
Part of me was thinking that this was to taunt me by using something from my past.
"You're…. You're really talking to me, right?", I questioned with unease.
Bouncy nodded.
"Yup, I came to life when you went missing 2 weeks ago. We've been trying to find you for a while now.", Bouncy replied.
"We?", I questioned.
"Yeah. Me and your mom.", Bouncy replied.
I had a nervous look on my face before I calmed myself.
("I've got a lot of explaining to do when or if I ever get out of this…"), I thought to myself before turning my attention back to Bouncy.
"Hey, Bouncy… how are we going out of here?", I questioned, still slightly weirded out about talking to a childhood stuffed toy.
"Oh, that's easy. We can get out of here anytime. But there's some people who want to talk to you.", Bouncy replied.
What I saw was… unexpected… to lay the least…
Flashback end. Returning to normal POV.
The false toy scowled at Y.
"Who did you see? Tell me, brat!", The demonic cowboy commanded, trying to intimidate the Blonde Skater from Jersey.
Just as Y was about to say something, a baseball landed on top of the fake Woody.
"Gotcha! Target has been immobilized!", A familiar voice shouted.
"Nice work, boys.", Another familiar voice stated.
Y and Jessie immediately looked towards the source of the voices.
It was Woody, Sarge and the Army men standing on Andy's bedside table.
BGM: Kingdom Hearts PS2 OST – Blast Away! -Gummi Ship 3 (AKA when you're flying to and from Hollow Bastion and End of the World.)
"Glad to see you guys are alright.", Y stated with a smile.
Everyone then saw that the false toy picking himself up off of the floor.
"This changes nothing! I shall make you all suffer!", The false god shouted.
"I don't think so…", another voice stated, catching the villain's attention.
Y immediately knew who it was and smirked.
"Hit it, Bouncy!"
Just then the demonic cowboy was then pelted with marbles, coins, batteries and other small items.
After a few minutes of this, the demonic cowboy was buried underneath all the debris.
During this time, Woody with the Army men managed to reach the floor with the cowboy reclaiming his signature hat from his doppelganger.
"I think that takes care of that.", Woody stated.
"Yup.", Y replied.
"Alright guys, the coast is clear. You can come out now.", Y stated, which made Jessie, Woody and the army men look with confusion.
Just then Bouncy and the rest of The toys destroyed by the fake Woody appeared out of their hiding places with the toys being completely unharmed, making Jessie ecstatic seeing her friends were ok.
"Well I'll be… long time, no see.", Woody stated, surprised to see the stuffed simian moving around.
"Same to you.", Bouncy replied happily.
"Bouncy managed to put everyone back together while the fake Woody was distracted. Buzz then told me what the big plan was. Although you showing up the way you did definitely helped distract that guy.", Y explained.
"I hate to break up the reunion, but what are we going to do with the troublemaker over there?", Hamm questioned while waddling towards the group, pointing at the pile of debris.
"Hmm… That's a good question.", Y replied, trying to figure out what to do with their tormenter.
Just then, the false cowboy erupted out of the pile of debris.
"You have not defeated me! I am Respiro! I am a god!", The now-named Respiro shouted angrily.
"Wait, your name is Respiro? Now I really can't take you seriously.", Y replied, rolling her eyes.
Respiro was about to attack Y but was stopped by Bouncy grabbing his head with her index finger and thumb.
"I think you've messed with enough people tonight. I know exactly how to deal with you.", Bouncy stated to Respiro before she grabbed a slingshot that she, Buzz and the others were using to pelt objects at Respiro with.
The stuffed toy then loaded Respiro into said slingshot and launched him out of an opened window near Andy's bed.
A few seconds later, a loud thud could be heard, making everyone else flinch.
Everyone then quickly climbed up Andy's bed and onto the window sill and looked outside to see where Respiro had landed.
However, what they saw instead was a cloud of smoke with a set of Haunting black and red eyes appearing within it rising up to greet them.

"This is not the end, Sabotage Y! I will have my revenge! I WILL see you suffer!", The familiar voice of Respiro shouted.
"And I'll be waiting…", Y replied as Respiro disappeared.

Just then the moon returned to its pale light.
"Well… That's that…", Y stated after letting out a relieved sigh.
"Sure seems that way… So what now?", Woody questioned.
"Well, I guess I should probably figure out how to get back home.", Y replied, unsure on how she was going to get home.
"Oh, that's easy. The exit's over there.", Bouncy replied, pointing to a film reel portal on Andy's bed. However, instead of showing Olliewood, it showed Los Angeles.
"Oh… Well I guess that takes care of that…", Y stated dumbfounded.
"Before you go, what was all that about? Why was Respiro angry with you?", Buzz questioned.
"It's a long story… but here goes…", Y replied as she lowered her head and leaned up against the window sill with her arms crossed.
The Skater then explained to the toys everything that had led up to Respiro's appearance, including her Kidnapping, The events of the World Destruction Tour, and her reappearance in their world.
The toys then took some time process what Y had told them, before they gave looks of sympathy towards their friend, who continued to have her head lowered.
"To be honest, you were more or less forced into that craziness.", Bouncy stated sympathetically.
"Yeah, we've all done something dumb and tried our best to make the best of it.", Buzz added.
"Some of us more than others.", Woody chimed in while covering part of his face with the brim of his hat as he, Mr. Potatohead and Hamm all had embarrassed looks on their faces.
"So, what do you guys think I should do here?", Y questioned, wanting some guidance from her friends as she looked out at the moon.
"The only thing you can do, make things right as best as you can.", Jessie replied.
"Well… I guess I'm on track to do just that…", Y stated, still looking at the moon.
"And besides, not a lot of people really know about what happened or that you were involved in the World Destruction Tour.", Bouncy added, catching Y off-guard.
"Wait, no one's said anything? No one's gone public with information about what happened or who was involved? Nothing at all?",Y questioned, looking towards Bouncy.
"Nope. Not even a whisper.", Bouncy replied with a shrug.
"Huh…", Y quietly stated, visibly bewildered.
"Well I guess I should get moving then...", Y added, still bewildered.
"But you can't go back looking like that.", Jessie piped up.
"Looking like what?', Y questioned, confused by Jessie's comment.
"You know, all stressed out like you are right now. Thankfully, I have an idea.", Jessie replied, handing Y the same skateboard that the blonde found earlier and used to trip Respiro.
"Wait... You guys want to see me skate?", Y questioned.
"Yeah, It's been years and it looks like you haven't lost your touch with skateboarding. So do you think you can skate around here again?", Jessie questioned.

"Are you guys cool with this? You're sure this is ok?", Y questioned towards the rest of toys.
"You're not getting any trouble out of us. Just please don't break anything.", Buzz explained.
"Ok, that's fair", Y replied before turning towards Bouncy.
"You're cool with this too, right Bouncy?", Y questioned towards the stuffed Simian.
"Of course, we've got plenty of time.", Bouncy replied happily.
("Alright, time to show everyone what a pro can do."), Y thought to herself confidently.
Y then got on her skateboard and perfomed a Boneless off of the window sill to the floor below in one fluid motion.
Y immediatly began performing aerial trick after aerial trick perfectly, impressing all those watching with her skills before landing into a series of flatland tricks.
Eventually she managed to reach a bent magazine leaning up against a wall and began performing Lip tricks before reverting out of it.
Y then decided to wrap things with a big finish.
...Or more rather, a big trick...
Y began skating towards a piece of elevated race car track, picking up high amounts of speed.
Y then managed to launch herself off of the ramp and performed a Japan 900, the same trick she performed when she became a pro during her quest to help restore the American Sk8land.
Y then perfectly landed after performing the trick and sat down on her deck all in one motion before giving a thumbs up to her friends.
Soon after impressing and saying her farewells to her friends, the Blonde Skater from New Jersey and her Stuffed Simian made their way to the portal back to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles...

Y's eyes gently fluttered awake with a small groan. The blonde then quietly looked around and saw she was now in Mindy's bedroom.
Y then noticed that Mindy was snuggling up the blonde's breasts.
Y then gave Mindy a kiss on the forehead before getting out of bed and using a pillow in her place for Mindy to snuggle with.
Y then picked up her cell phone off of a nearby bedside and flipped it open.
The blonde then scrolled through her contacts until she reached her mother's phone number.
Y paused and swallowed a lump in her throat.
("Oh boy... I have to do this... However, I need to think about what say..."), Y thought to herself, calming down.
("Hmm... A shower should help me figure it out..."), Y mentally added.
1 shower and fresh set of clothes later...
Y was now wearing a dark blue sleeveless crop top, a slightly longer pair of shorts, black elbow pads, black fingerless Gloves black and Grey Slip-ons, a red sweatband and Silver Sunglasses. She could be seen sitting on the roof of the building, cellphone in hand as the first rays of the morning began.
Just as Y was about to call her mother and explain what has happened in the past 2 weeks, a familiar voice spoke.
"Hmph! Did you think you would be rid of me that easily, Sabotage Y?", Y nonchalantly rolled her eyes as she immediatly knew who it was.
"Didn't learn your lesson, Respiro?", Y questioned, looking up from her phone and seeing the wispy form of Respiro.
"You were lucky to escape my wrath before, but I will not relent until you suffer before me...", Respiro replied.
"And how are you going to do that?", Y questioned, not intimidated in the slightest.
"I will... Uh... Ah! I know! I'll enter your body and destroy from from the inside out!", Respiro explained, trying to sound intimidating to no effect.
Just then a small whirring sound could be heard as Respiro was forcefully being moved towards something, catching Y's attention.
"What in the - oh...", Y began to question as she quickly turned to see what was going on and saw Mindy wearing a pink bathrobe and pink slippers and holding a dust buster.
Respiro was then sucked into said dust buster.
"I think we've heard more than enough out of you.", Mindy stated towards Respiro inside the dust buster, sounding grouchy and tired.
"And before you ask, I had a weird dream where this guy was causing trouble for you and a bunch of Toy Story characters, but you guys and a weird looking monkey toy wound up beating him.", Mindy explained, staggering groggily and losing her balance.
Y then managed to catch Mindy and the dust buster in her arms.
"Yeah... That wasn't a dream... That was real... And it wasn't the first time...", Y replied.
"Really? You've done that kind of thing before?", Mindy questioned as Y sat down, holding her lover in her lap.
"Yup, When I was in Olliewood. I was a little girl when it happened. I met Woody and the others, got dragged into an arcade machine and got Bouncy out of it all.", Y explained, looking at the sunrise.
"Huh, didn't see that one coming...", Mindy replied, rubbing the sleepyness out of her eyes.
"Honestly, between that, Helping raise the dead in New Orleans, meeting Bigfoot in Skatopia and dealing with all this Respiro crap, part of me thinks that I'm secretly a hub for supernatural activity", Y stated, rolling her eyes.
"Who knows...? Nice look by the way.", Mindy replied, resting her head on Y's shoulder.
"I was looking for some clean clothes and a new pair of shoes. It feels pretty good.", Y stated.
Just then Y's phone began ringing.
The two skaters then looked at the blonde's phone screen and saw that it was Y's Mother who was calling.
"Well, This is it. Wish me luck here, Mindy...", Y stated after letting out a quiet sigh.
"Y, look at me... it doesn't matter what happens here, I'll still love you...", Mindy stated, holding Y gently by her face and giving Y a loving and passionate kiss.
"I'll... I'll still love you too, Mindy...", Y replied before pressing the "Call" button on her phone.
"Hello?", Y questioned into the mouthpiece.
"Y! I'm so glad to hear your voice right now.", The familiar voice of V exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, It's good to hear you too, mom...", Y replied, trying her best to not let her emotions get the better of her.
"Are you ok? You sound off...", V questioned with concern.
"I'm fine. I've just been really busy, that's all...", Y replied.
"I guess you would be. Considering how you managed to help preserve a landmark piece of skateboarding history.", V stated, which made Y and Mindy look at each other with confusion.
"You know about the American Sk8land?", Y questioned.
"Of course I do, I also heard you became a Professional thanks to some local newspapers.", V replied, which made Y facepalm for not realizing the local news would be talking about the restoration of the iconic skatepark.
"Not to mention, I also took a look at an impressive looking skate comic that helped with saving the park. I must say, Miss Mindy is pretty good.", V added, making the lovers look at each other that basically said, "Where is she going with this?"
"You definitely picked a keeper, Y.", V concluded with an amused giggle.
However the previous statement didn't come from the speaker of Y's Phone, it instead came from behind the two skaters.
Y and Mindy immediatly turned the source of the voice and saw V, who was standing next to the entrance to the building's rooftop.
Mindy's eyes widened as she recognized V.
"Wait a minute, you're Lavender V! The New Jersey Super Model! New Jersey's Lavender Bombshell!", Mindy exclaimed before turning to Y.
"She's your mom?!", Mindy questioned towards her lover with visible surprise.
"Yeah... What's so weird about that?", Y questioned while hanging up her phone and closing it, not really understanding what the problem was.
"It's probably because not a lot of people know I have a daughter.", V replied, walking towards the two skaters.
"What do you mean?", Mindy questioned, looking towards the lavender haired model.
"You see... Many years ago. I was on a photoshoot. After that was over. I was called back later that night and was told to do a different kind of photo shoot. Little did i know that it was a seduction trap set up by Y's father. He seduced me during the 'Photo Shoot' and well... one thing lead to another...", V eplained, not exactly pleased to remember those events.
"Oh... I'm so sorry that happened...", Mindy replied sympathetically and guiltily.
"Don't be, Mindy. Something good came out of that, Me.", Y stated, comforting her girlfriend with a smile.
"Yeah. I guess so...", Mindy replied before standing up and walking up to V.
"I don't think we've properly met. My name is Mindy, Local Skate Chick, Comic Book Artist, and Y's Girlfriend.", Mindy Stated towards V, holding her hand out.
"I'm V, New Jersey's Lavender Bombshell, bikini model and Y's mother.", V replied, Shaking Mindy's hand.
"Well, at least you guys are cool with each other. But how'd you know where we were, mom?", Y questioned, Standing next to Mindy.
"Oh, that's easy. Your friend knew where to find you.", V replied, confusing her daughter and her daughter's lover.
"Friend?", The two questioned.
"Over here!", A familiar voice stated.
Y and Mindy's eyes widened as they looked towards the source of the voice, not believing what they were seeing.
"Bouncy? Is that... Is that really you?", Y questioned.

"Yup, it's me. Alive in the... Fabric and seams as it were.", Bouncy replied, carrying several paper bags.
"Huh, I guess that comment about me being a hub for supernatural activity was more on the nose than I thought...", Y stated, visibly drained.
"Maybe, but we have a lot to discuss. come along you two. I got you both breakfast.", V replied.
"What are we going to do with him?", Mindy questioned, holding up the dust buster that contained Respiro.
"We'll figure it out...", Bouncy replied, walking with the group.
"Well, Let's get inside then.", Y stated, taking Mindy's hand.
("There's a lot to explain and discuss, but it'll be ok..."), Y thought to herself as she saw the sunrise
There would definitely be a lot of discussions and explanations all around...
