There was a bad feeling in the air as it fell almost too quiet to everyone to bear, as even the sky went devastatingly dead silent and still. When it seemed as though no one was around, that one security guard who once saw the magic fall apart up front and center, went searching on his own to get to the bottom of this craziness, coming too close to Its a Small World, thus reaching a dead end. Was he inside some convoluted dream from overstressing of working in this dead-end job in this industry? For a good while, he had to retreat from this to at least try to wrap his head around this. Of what could have been happening behind the scenes, the least expected to spot someone else come out from the dark and run across the road. It looked like a small person or a doll... A doll! A great mass of them!

After the fall of one of these devious Villains, it would have been considered crazy to run after them, but Jeffrey didn't care at this point. Buzz was first to see the man take after them.

"Woody! We gotta move, he just saw us!"

"None of that matters now! Only that we have to get those kids out of here!" Woody replied.

Right when he said that Sarah bumped right into the security guard during her fray. He was very surprised that a child happened to be in this place at such a time but that was not as important as the one following her. This was a man, shockingly, wielding what looked like a sword but this was no pirate either! Jeffrey did what he could in this situation and tried to shield the girl but she squirmed out of his grasp.

"Stop! He's with me!" she warned him, seeing that sword at the ready.

"Huh? Young lady, It is my— AGH!" the man found that his gun was gone and that his arm was grabbed by the armored man as he was swung aside away from the child. Surprised at a single man's strength, he was commanded by this man to mind his distance from her and the group of Toys in a seriously deep, gentle baritone voice.

"Fine, you got it! Y-you wouldn't strike an unarmed man..."

"It would be a shame should you make an unwise decision, boy." this Knight replied, darkly.

"Sir Frollo, it's a-all right. I think he just meant to help..." Sarah told this Knight while gently pulling his arm to lower the blade, much to Jeffrey's relief.

"What the Hell??" Jeffrey let out, uncontrollably.

"Hold your tongue!" this Knight did not take those chosen words lightly. "Especially during this dreadful time... Speak your name." was the sudden silky command.

It was a very strange scene set before him, seeing an actual girl among these technicolored character icons, minus the Knight. He didn't have a clue who he was but that voice stuck out.

"Jeff. Please, I only mean to help. I don't what the heck is going on? But... wait... you know this guy?" Jeffrey then asked the child.

"Kind of..." she answered until something caught her eye in the bushes behind him.

There happened to be a light colored striped Persian cat, one that was different from the occasional strays that usually roamed the Parks freely at night, that came out of hiding as if obediently going straight to her. At first, the feline went surprisingly to the Knight, beginning to rub against his leg, purring happily before going to Sarah who picked him up carefully. She looked absolutely relieved as she held him close, whispering words as the cat's green eyes seemed to long stare at the swordsman while he cuddled against the girl's face. The Knight did not expect to be given such pure thankfulness, but when the cat rubbed against him, he felt a wave of reassurance, then motivation. Thankfulness.

"I was so worried~ I'm so happy you're all right..." she whispered before looking up at the Knight. "He says thank you, sir..." she sweetly told him.
