Well, everyone, I'm very excited to begin this sequel. If you haven't read Key to the Heart, I recommend you should, but you don't have to. I'm just going to say now there will be a few differences from that story to now. Like I said before, I'm steering more towards a Spyro story than Kingdom Hearts. For now, I"m ready to get started...

In what was a vast universe filled with many stars and other worlds alike, a single ship was cruising through the wide spaces. A Gummi Ship. The ship was only one of a few of its kind, allowing the driver to venture through the black space and seek out worlds beyond their own. It surely was a special ship to say the least, but those characteristics weren't what made it special…it was its special cargo.

While the ship was flying on auto-pilot for the moment, a young human boy of nineteen was snoozing on a cot. He was a little taller than average, with a strong body type. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a red vest over it along with jet black shorts with blue trim. His feet were covered with white, ankle-length socks while his black sneakers layed on the floor.

To the naked eye, he was a normal human kid. However, he was known around the many worlds as not being an ordinary human. His name was Matt.

Matt had been granted an honor that rare few had been given. That honor was the ability to wield a weapon known only as the Keyblade, the most powerful weapon of good in existence. Matt's blade was blue on the handle with a long grey key attached to its end.

With the Keyblade, Matt had done many great things while fulfilling his destiny by protecting the worlds. He had met and befriended characters he thought only existed in fiction. When his journey had been completed, Matt decided that as long as the Keyblade stayed with him, he would make it his obligation to continue to guard the worlds from any darkness that threatened them.

For now, Matt had decided he wanted a quick snooze. Sometimes it had gotten so boring while traveling that he could do was sleep. He was looking forward to a good rest and to dream a good dream.

But this was no ordinary dream…

Matt was back at his home, in his driveway. He was doing one of the things he loved to do the most, at that was shooting hoops.

Bounce. Bounce. Swish!

Besides the bouncing and the swish of the basket, there was only silence.

Bounce. Bounce. Swish!

Matt shot and shot and shot. He wasn't going to stop anytime soon. It didn't matter whether or not he made the basket or missed it, just as long as he could keep on shooting. The simple task of putting the ball in the hoop was his only focus.

When Matt was here, nothing else mattered. He didn't need to worry about Heartless or any kind of trouble that could come his way. It was here that he didn't have a care in the world. It was here that he felt at peace…

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Matt finally stopped. Somewhere, somehow, he could hear something…something bad…

*sniff* He could hear sobbing…crying…someone around him was sad.

Matt picked up the ball and looked around him. There was no one in sight.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Help me...please help me…" It sounded like a girl's voice…a girl in pain…

"Hello?" Matt asked again. "Is anybody out there?"

"Someone…please help me…"

"Where are you? Hello?"

The voice sounded like it was oblivious to his presence. "I'm so alone…"

Matt dropped the ball and started running down the gravel road. He looked in every direction, but he was completely alone. The moans and sobs continued to fill Matt's ears.

"I'm so afraid…," the voice said again. "I don't want to die…"

"Hey!" Matt yelled, trying desperately to get the person's attention. "I can help you! Where are you?" He tried to summon his Keyblade, but it was no use. "Huh?"

"Please…someone…anyone…help…"

Suddenly, Matt's heart seared with a burning pain. He cried and fell to his knees, clutching his chest. The pain was coursing throughout his entire body. The sobs continued to fill his mind.

Matt fell over to his back, begging for the torment to end. He had to find this girl and help her…but right now he couldn't even help himself. Within seconds, it felt like his heart would explode, causing him to scream his lungs out in agony…

"Ahh!" Matt awoke with a start, covered in a cold sweat. He put his hand to his chest. His heart was beating pretty fast, but there wasn't any pain coming from it. He then buried his face in his hands. "Whoa…"

What a dream… Matt thought. It felt…so real.

Matt knew that dreams like this were not to be taken lightly. What if there was actually someone out there who needed his help? Had they called out to him? He'd had stranger dreams before…

Sitting up straight, Matt slipped on his sneakers and moved over to the main screen. He wondered how long the ship had been on auto-pilot while he was out and where he could have drifted. After looking out the main window, Matt looked at the world ahead and smiled.

It was the world he knew as the Dragon Realms, where some of those very creatures existed. He had happened to befriend several of them during his first ever visit to the world. It had been a while since he had even set foot there.

Matt took a deep breath and stared off into space. He wondered how Spyro and Cynder were doing. He hadn't seen or heard from them since they'd helped him towards the end of his journey. That had been almost a year ago…

You know…now might not be a bad time to check up on them. Why not? He thought.

While there wasn't any Heartless activity the ship could detect, Matt was curious enough to want to check up on his friends to make sure everything was ok. The king hadn't warned him of anything recently, so what could it hurt?

Matt looked around and stole a gaze at his bed. The sobbing and crying was still ringing in his ears from the dream. He also remembered about the dream he had before arriving in the Dragon Realms for the first time.

He asked himself again…was there somebody out there who needed him that badly?

Man…I'm letting all this traveling get to my head…Matt thought. He smiled and shook his head around a little bit. There were plenty of people out there who needed his help to begin with. Whatever happened next would happen for a reason.

After punching in the coordinates, Matt began guiding his ship towards the Dragon Realms once more. "Alright then…here I go…" he said to himself.

What Matt didn't know was that there was a new adventure waiting for him…which would offer much more than he could ever bargain for…

What kind of danger will Matt face in the Dragon Realms this time around? Who is the one calling for him in his dreams? These questions will be answered soon, so I'd stay tuned. Please send a review with your thoughts or comments!

Peace out,
