"Uh, sorry. I-I-I-I thought that you were gonna..." Woody chuckled nervously. "You know, you know, eat my friend."
"Yeah. We're sorry." Daphne knelt down to the Janie doll, and the doll hugged her. "We didn't know."
"It's quite alright. We understand how those outside of this house would think so." Jennifer replied. Suddenly, all the toys immediately ran right underneath the bed in a quick flash and in quick succession.
"Hey, no, no, wait, hey! What's wrong?" Woody asked them.
"It's not you." Ken muttered in trepidation.
"Sid?" A woman's voice called from downstairs.
"Not now, Mom! I'm busy!" Sid's voice called out, making all the toys, except Buzz, freeze in their tracks.
"You left the door open." Sid's mother called back.
"Sid!" Daphne worried, then she ran for the toolbox, and hides inside it.
"Everyone, hide and fast!" Braedimus shifted into vehicle mode, and he immediately reversed to a milk crate that was open, shutting his lights off.
"Come on." Jennifer and Ken both immediately run for the nearby vent cover, taking it off and diving in before closing it.
"Buzz, come on! Get up!" Woody started to drag Buzz towards the blue milk crate. "Use your legs!" Then, he left Buzz on the ground. "Fine! Let Sid trash you! But, don't blame me!" With that, Woody immediately ran over to the milk crate, and forced it over him and Braedimus, just as Sid entered the room.
"It came! It finally came!" Sid said with excitement, a smile present on his face, whilst he placed a small box on his desk, and as Braedimus and Woody looked over from the milk crate, Jennifer and Ken looking through the vent grate. Sid opened the box, then he looks inside the box. "'The Big One'." Sid spoke out, then pulls out a big blue rocket with red fins and a red nosecone. He then placed the rocket down, and reads the warning sticker on the side. "'Extremely dangerous. Keep out of reach of children'. Cool." Sid smiled, then looks around his room to try and find a toy to strap to said rocket. "What am I gonna blow? Hey, where's that wimpy cowboy doll?" He wondered.
"Oh no…" Was all Jennifer could whisper out softly.
Sid now looked to the floor, and he saw the upside-down milk crate. He smirks and goes ahead to pick it up, and saw nothing underneath, Sid looking in annoyance. Unbeknown to him, Woody was holding onto the bottom of the crate. Also, Braedimus was hiding in camouflage, using his red paint to blend in against a fuel can nearby the desk.
Sid then steps forward, but as he did so, he heard the sound of a laser buzzing. He looked down, and he saw Buzz on the ground. "Yes..." He said sinisterly, an idea formulating in his head. "I've always wanted to put a spaceman into orbit." He placed Buzz on the desk, along with the milk crate, but had inadvertently caught Braedimus underneath the milk crate without realising it.
Sid next picked up the toolbox and placed it on top of the milk crate, making Woody fall from his position on the milk crate. He picked up an instruction manual, and he hid underneath it. As Sid looke through the toolbox, he inadvertently found Daphne, and he had another sinister idea. He then pulls out some gaffer tape, and he began to do something, as both cowboy and Autobot Peterbilt truck watch on in trepidation and worry, Ken and Jennifer also looking on. After about 20 seconds, Sid placed 'The Big One' down on the desk, but it had both Daphne and Buzz taped to the rocket!!
Braedimus and Woody's eyes and optics immediately widen in horror, but then a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder suddenly echoed out from Sid's window, everyone looking on, and he saw it was raining heavily outside.
"Oh, no!" Sid groaned in annoyance, now walked up to the window, and he smacked his forehead against the glass. "Oh, man!" Woody and Braedimus both sighed in relief, Ken and Jennifer also sighing in relief, but they all felt something could happen, and they were right. "Sid Phillips reporting." Sid then spoke out, as if he were a commander of the NASA program, and he began to wind up a clock with a baby doll's arm as the ringing arm. "Launch of the shuttle has been delayed due to adverse weather conditions at the launch site. Tomorrow's forecast: sunny." He laughed sinisterly. "Sweet dreams." The clock read 8:23PM.
Both Braedimus and Woody were worried for their allies, Ken and Jennifer also looking on.
Meanwhile, back in Braedey's room at his home, the brunette boy was lying down in his bed, him still feeling down for the loss of his four toys from last night. He hadn't felt this bad in forever. He and his mother have both been looking about for any sign of the four toys.
"I've looked everywhere around the house for them, honey." Naomi told Braedey, then she gently tied the Autobot bandana around his head. "I could only find your bandana. I'm really sorry about this, Braedey." She apologised softly.
"But Mom, what if we leave them all behind?" Braedey asked her worriedly. He didn't want to leave without his four toys.
Naomi gently cupped his face, and she softly kissed his forehead. "Oh, don't worry, Braedey. I'm sure that we'll find Woody, Buzz, Daphne, and Braedimus Prime before we leave first thing tomorrow morning." She told him, then turned off the bedside lamp light. "Good night." With that, and as her son now fell asleep, Naomi tiptoed quietly out of the bedroom, and gently closed the door behind her.
A few seconds later, inside of a boy labelled 'Braedey's Toys', then box began to move a bit. "I need air." A strained voice called out from inside the box, and the box opened, revealing Rex and Potato Head, the former chocking on some packing foam that got in his mouth. The plastic Rex then spat it out, whilst some was stuck on his shoulder.
"Will you quit movin' around?" Potato Head whispered harshly at the toy T-Rex.
"I'm sorry." Rex apologised softly. "It's just that I get... I get so nervous before I travel." He then saw the packing foam on his right shoulder, and he managed to brush it off with his little arm.
"How did I get stuck with you as a moving buddy?" Potato Head asked himself in frustration, then got back in the box.
"Everyone else was picked." Rex replied back casually, then he got back in the box also.
After that, now standing next to the box was Bo Peep. She looked over to Braedey's sleeping form, looking on at the Autobot insignia on the bandana, and she sighed sadly. "Oh, Woody. If only you and Braedimus Prime could see how much Braedey misses you both." She said softly before she goes back to her spot where she was getting packed.
Next door over at Sid's house, as the storm progressed outside, Sid was now fast asleep on his bed, still wearing his clothes from yesterday. Over on the desk, Braedimus and Woody were struggling to get out of the milk crate, but the heavy toolbox was preventing them from getting out. Ken and Jennifer were also struggling to try and get the crate open, but to no avail.
Woody now looked over to Buzz, who was fast asleep, whilst Daphne was tying to use a small little piece of sharp metal she had found, and was trying to saw through the tape to try and get out. "Psst. Psst! Hey, Buzz!" Woody whispered out to Buzz, but to no avail.
Braedimus looks down and he saw a large amount of small circular pieces of metal, known as washers, down on the desk around him and Woody. He picks one up, and looked over to Buzz. "One, two, three." He counted, and he threw the washer, Ken and Jennifer looking on. It knocked against Buzz's helmet, waking him a bit, and it fell to the desk with a little clink and clatter, as the Space Ranger looked to the Autobot.
"Nice throw." Jennifer complimented.
"Buzz. Hey, can you and Daphne come over here to see if you could get this toolbox off both me and Woody?" Braedimus asked, only for Buzz to look away.
"Oh, come on, Buzz, I..." Woody fell to his knees, and sighed. "Buzz. Braedimus Prime and I can't do this without you. Not even with Ken and Jennifer." He looks down. "We need your help." He admitted.
Buzz sighed as he looks down. "I can't help. I can't help anyone."
This got Daphne's attention. "That's not true." She told him. "You can help anyone."
"Yes." Jennifer agreed.
"Why, sure you can, Buzz." Woody agreed with the two dolls. "You can get me and Prime out of here." He gestured to the milk crate, next pointed to the rocket. "Then, we'll all get that rocket off you and Daphne, and we can all make a break for Braedey's house." He then gestured to outside the window.
"Braedey's house, Sid's house. What's the difference?" Buzz sighed as he looks down.
"Buzz." Braedimus sighs with a slight chuckle. "You did have a big fall from going down those stairs. You must not be thinking clearly after that."
"No, Braedimus Prime." Buzz looked back to the Autobot with hardened eyes, Ken and Jennifer knowing that look of harsh acceptance all too well. "For the first time, I am thinking clearly. Woody was right all along. I'm not a Space Ranger." He then flicked open his wrist communicator, and looked at the 'MADE IN TAIWAN' on the flap. "I'm just a toy, a stupid, little, insignificant toy."
"Whoa, hey, wait a minute." Ken interjected.
"Yeah. Hold up." Woody stopped him. "Bein' a toy is a lot better than bein' a, a Space Ranger."
"Yeah, right." Buzz sighed as he looks down.
"No, it is." Jennifer insisted.
Braedimus then sighed. "Look, Buzz." He points over to Braedey's house outside the window, as the storm was starting to settle outside, and it was starting to become dawn. "Over in that house next door, is a young kid who thinks you are the greatest thing in the world. And it's not because you're a Space Ranger, Lightyear. It's because you are a toy. You are his toy." He emphasises on that.
"But, why would Braedey want me?" Buzz asked.
"Why would Braedey want you?" Daphne asked as if he had two heads. "Look at you!! You're a Buzz Lightyear."
"Any other toy around the world right now would give up his or her moving parts just to be like you." Jennifer added.
"You've got wings!" Woody counted off.
"You glow in the dark!" Braedimus added.
"You talk!" Daphne nodded.
"Your helmet does that, that-that whoosh thing!" Woody then gestured with his arms over his head.
'Whoosh thing?' Ken and Jennifer thought in confusion. What did he mean by 'whoosh thing'?
"You are a cool toy!" Daphne added, making Buzz look at Woody and Braedimus, but he couldn't see Daphne, since she was taped to the other side of the rocket.
Woody's smile then faded. "As a matter of fact, you're too cool." This made Daphne and Braedimus look at him in confusion. It even caught Jennifer and Ken off-guard. "I mean... I mean, what chance does a toy like me have against a Buzz Lightyear action figure or even a Daphne Blake doll? All I can do is..." He then pulled on his pull string.
"There's a snake in my boots." His voice box went off.
Woody shook his head. "Why would Braedey ever want to play with me, when he's got you three?" He then said, making Buzz, Daphne and Braedimus look at the cowboy. "I'm the one that should be strapped to the rocket." Then, he crossed his legs, and turned his back to the two on the rocket, as Braedimus turned to him.
'Trying to accept how things are changing between them because of how things were before.' Ken thought to himself, seeing and sensing what's going on around them. He looked over to Jennifer, the two of them not sure if they should intervene or not.
Buzz was silent throughout all this, as the sound of birds chirping outside could be heard, as well the light of the rising sun outside, since it was now morning. Buzz looks down at his right foot, and he saw the name 'BRAEDEY' written on it. He thought for a moment, and realised what Woody had said was right. He was a toy, but more specifically, he was Braedey's toy. He looked over to the blue milk crate, and his face hardened. Ken and Jennifer could see that look on his face, and they knew exactly what he was thinking.
"Listen, Buzz, forget about me." Woody sighed. "You and Daphne should get outta here while you can."
However, Woody heard no response. He looked over to where Buzz and Daphne were, and saw they were gone. Ken and Jennifer were also gone from sight. Braedimus and the cowboy both sighed, and looked down. But then, the two of them then heard the sound of clattering above them. They looked out, and saw Daphne and Buzz, the two of them working together, and they were trying to move the toolbox, with Ken and Jennifer also assisting to try and move the crate and toolbox.
"Buzz? Daphne? What are you all doin'?" Woody asked.
"I thought you two were..." Braedimus added.
"Come on, Sheriff." Buzz pointed to Braedey's house. "There's a kid over in that house who needs us all."
"Now, let's get you and Prime out of this mess." Daphne added.
"Way to go, girl." Braedimus held out a thumbs-up, then he and Woody got into action.
"Yes, sir!" Woody saluted.
Buzz and Daphne got the toolbox from behind, as Braedimus, shifting into truck mode, and Woody pushed the milk crate forward, so they could get an opening at the edge of the desk.
"Come on, Buzz. We all can do it." Woody told Buzz, then got his hat on as he pushed, whilst Braedimus reversed, then drove forward into the milk crate, forcing it forward slowly but surely.
Daphne pushed against the glass, but then, she saw something outside and it was coming up. "Guys, we've got a problem." She called to them, and the four male toys now looked at what she saw, as they all heard the sound of a diesel engine approaching.
They saw an orange and white semi-trailer 18-wheel truck pulling up in front of Braedey's house. The truck was a flat-nose tractor unit, whilst the trailer had the name 'Eggman Movers' on the side, with the cartoon character of an egg with an orange hat on its head, and was moving the 'E' in place.
"Woody. Prime. It's the moving van." Jennifer informed to the two.
"We're running out of time. We gotta get outta here now, and get to that truck fast." Ken told them, and immediately, everyone got to work to push the crate towards the edge.
"Come on, Buzz." Woody grunted out, then both he and Braedimus now pushed the crate up to the edge, where there was a gap for them to get out. "All right." With that, Woody and Braedimus both climbed out of the crate, and they got down to the ground safely.
"Buzz. Hey, Daphne. Guys, we're out." Braedimus called out to the two above them, whilst the toolbox was still being moved from above.
"Almost there!" Buzz grunted, and with that, he pushed the toolbox right off the desk, falling down towards Woody and Braedimus!!
"Sweet Mother of Primus...!" Braedimus whispered, then as he immediately shifted into truck mode, Woody jumping clear, and the toolbox fell on Prime with a loud crash!!!
Jennifer, Ken, Buzz and Daphne all looked over to Sid in worry of him waking up from the sound of that crash, but only saw him stir a little. "I want to ride the pony." He groaned, and he fell asleep again.
The four toys sighed, then they crawled over to the edge of the desk and look down. They saw the toolbox upside down, and it was where Braedimus was. "Braedimus? Prime? Are you all right?" Buzz called quietly.
"You okay?" Jennifer also asked.
The toolbox moved up a bit, and it revealed Braedimus, albeit a little wounded from the hit, some scuffing marks and even his lights flickering from the impact. "I'm fine. I'm okay." He groaned out.
Suddenly, the clock alarm started to go off. Buzz and Daphne froze, Jennifer and Ken diving for cover under some wreckage on the table, as Braedimus hid under the toolbox, whilst Woody hid next to the desk. Sid groaned as he slowly woke up, and the clock then fell to the ground with a clatter, the ringing coming to a stop.
Sid shook his head and he saw it was daylight outside, and the rain had stopped. "Oh, yeah!" He ran to the desk, then picked up Buzz and Daphne. "Time for liftoff!" He next ran to his door, unlocking it, and ran out of the room, as Braedimus just out of from under the toolbox, and with Woody walking out from behind the desk. "To infinity and beyond!" Sid announced, just as the door was closing.
"The door!" Jennifer called out.
Braedimus and Woody sprinted forward and they both then managed to get to the door, but as they do, they look and they saw Scud nearby. The dog rhen saw the two toys, and started to run to the door, whilst barking ferociously as he got closer. Braedimus blared his truck horn, making the dog squeak and bark scared in response, whilst backing away from the door, and Woody slammed the door shut with help from Ken, a loud thump being heard from outside the door, no doubt Scud running into the door.
"Ha! Gotcha, you snarling beast." Ken smirked.
"No way we're gonna get to Buzz and Daphne with him in the way." Jennifer muttered.
"Okay, what do we do? Come on, Woody. Think." Woody said to himself, then he and Braedimus heard the sound of clattering. They look ahead, and they saw the mutant toys nearby peeking out from their hiding places. "Guys!" But, the toys hid from sight. "No, no, no, no! Wait! Wait. Listen, please." Woody pleaded.
"All of you. Listen to us. There's two good toys down there, and they're gonna be blown to oblivion in less than a couple of minutes." Braedimus called to the mutant toys, as they looked at him and Woody from the shadows. "All because of the two of us. We've gotta save them. And... But, we need your help." He asked. There was no response at first, until Braedimus and Woody loom and saw Babyface nearby the bed. "Please. They're our friends. And maybe the only ones we've got left." Braedimus asked softly.
Babyface then walked over to a metal leg, and he now started to tap out a morse code signal, which echoed around the whole of the room, and it echoed through the ventilation system. The mutant toys started to make their way to the ground, now approaching the Autobot and sheriff toys.
Inside of Sam's room, the teen was fast asleep right now, unaware of the tapping Morse code sound, but around his room, his toys started to wake up, and they all heard the morse code, all knowing that someone was in trouble and they needed to help in any way. They soon made their way to the vent, heading over to where the source of the morse code was.
One of the toys happens to be a female action figure, which looked like that of Crimson Typhoon from the movie 'PACIFIC RIM', but in a human cyborg form. She stood tall, twice the height of Buzz Lightyear, has short jet black hair, red eyes, and flawless fair skin, making her look 18 years old. Her ConnPod was made as like a headband in the middle of her forehead. But, the most noticeable thing were her three arms. Her left arm was rather large, and with only three claw-like fingers. The other two arms on the right side have five fingers, all three arms made of metal, while the rest of her body is also. Her curvy body was hidden in armour. Her breastplate revealing the lower middle part of her breasts, while revealing her abdomen, midriff and stomach. Her crotch was protected by armour, along with her legs, and her feet looking like that of human feet.
Another one of the toys was a robot with a black colour scheme. Door wings are in his back, similar to that of wings, with two tyres as shoulders, with a Camaro-like front on his chest, whilst the other two tyres are on his ankles. This robot can transform into a green and black Shelby GT500.
Another toy was that of a dragon-like creature. It has bright red scales on its wings and back, while the belly and skin of the wings are orange. The wings were humungous, twice the size of the body. The tail was long and has an arrow head at the end, its eyes a bright green, and a large golden horn on top of its head.
Along with them is a small Chibi doll with silvery eyes, short black hair with red highlights in it, and small black boots. She was wearing a jet black blouse and skirt with red trimmings along it, with a belt that has a silver rose, along with four bullets on a small section of the belt, and to top it off, a red cape with a hood.
With Woody and Braedimus, they saw the mutant toys, along with some of the other toys from Sam's room walk, roll, crawl, wheel, and drive up to them. Woody was grateful that they'll help him and his Autobot partner, and Braedimus guessed they had enough of all this torture by their former master, and want to give him payback. Then, he and Woody saw the new toys in their group who will assist them, many of them being bigger than the mutant toys but happy to help out.
"Wow…" Jennifer commented in surprise.
"Talk about a gathering." Ken added in, they and Jennifer gathering up with the toys and the two odd ones out.
"Thank you." Woody thanked the gathered toys in relief, as they huddled with him and Braedimus.
The truck Autobot now knelt down to the toys. "Okay. We all know what to do. We're gonna have to break a couple of rules in the process while we do this. But, if this works, it'll help everyone, and we'll all earn our freedom from this time of terror."
With that, Braedimus and Woody immediately began to formulate their plan of what to do, as the toys watch on in curiosity as to how this plan shall be carried out.
