Hey y'all! If you read chapter 8 of my other story, you'd know that I had an idea for another fic… Well this is it! And yes, as the summary said, this will be a Spyro/Bleach crossover.
Don't worry, I have NOT abandoned The Next Generation. This is just something that popped into my head and I felt like typing. Please R&R. I don't own any Spyro character. Enjoy!

Soul Savior
Chapter 1: Arrival
Darkness… I said in my thoughts. Why is there so much darkness? I shifted my body and realized why there was only darkness in front of me… my eyes were closed. Slowly, I forced my eyes open. Once that was done, I sat up on the bed I was lying on and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. After giving a long yawn, I was finally awake enough to look at my surroundings. The room I was in was made completely of stone, lit up by some torches on the walls. There was a window to my right, allowing the outside breeze to blow in. Apparently, it was nighttime. I stood up and walked to the window. Looking back, I realized that I was lying on a bed of hay. "Well that's odd…" I thought out loud. "Why would Squad four put me in a bed of hay?" I looked back to the window and looked up into the sky. What I saw next shocked me. There were two… not one… but two moons shining brightly in the night sky! "Where the hell am I?! I'm sure as hell not in the Soul Society anymore…"
"Well it looks like you've finally awaken." I heard a voice, say from behind me. The voice seemed old and full of wisdom. I spun around and there, standing at the doorway on four legs, was… a dragon! Quick to react, I reached for my zanpaktou, only to discover that it wasn't in its sheath. My eyes grew wide as I stared into the eyes of the large red dragon, fearing the worst. He chuckled at my reaction. "Do not worry friend. I will not harm you, nor will anyone else here." I relaxed at his words and caught my breath, only to have it taken away again when two much smaller dragons appeared next to him. One dragon looked rather muscular and had purple scales with golden wings, underbelly and pair of horns on its head. The other had a much more slender form and had black scales, crimson-red underbelly and wings, and multiple white horns on its head.
"Glad to see you're finally awake." Said the purple dragon, speaking in a male voice with a serious tone. "Are you okay?" All I could do was nod my head, still recovering from the shock of seeing real dragons. "Well that's good… you were in pretty bad shape when we… umm, found you."
"More like summoned you," said the black dragon in a feminine voice.
"S-Summoned me? What do you mean? Where am I? Who are you? How did I get here?" I asked in quick succession.
"Calm down! Geez, you're almost as bad as Volteer…" said the black dragon. "In order, yes we summoned you here by mistake. I'll explain how in a moment. Next, you are in the Dragon Temple, which is located in the Dragon Realm, our world. As for who we are, I'm Cynder. This," she pointed to the red dragon, "is Ignitus, the guardian of fire. And this," she now pointed t the purple dragon, "is Spyro." She paused for a moment as she turned her gaze towards me. "You still with me?"
"Yeah… so… can you please tell me how the hell I ended up here?!" I said in a frustrated tone. Big mistake. The black dragon's face immediately grew angry and she charged at me. I closed my eyes awaiting the inevitable impact, but it never came. I opened my eyes only to see her in front of me, obviously still annoyed.
"If you can just shut up for a moment, I was about to explain." She said in a harsh tone.
"Sorry… go ahead."
"Thank you. Now, you were summoned here by mistake… you see…" she began to tell her tale. She explained how she and Spyro were walking around in the temple's library when they came across a book entitled "The Spirit World." They became curious and opened the book. It explained how one can create a portal from whatever world to the Spirit World. "To make a long story short, we got what we needed and opened the portal. Once we did so however, we changed our minds, deciding that passing through to this new world was a bad idea. Unfortunately, before we could close it, you popped out of it. Spyro and I brought you inside quickly… you've been asleep for the past two days…"
"Well… that's quite the story." I replied, eyes wide. "Well, can't you open the portal again and send me back home?" All three dragons shook their heads.
"Unfortunately," began Ignitus, "the materials we need are currently unavailable. We need Spirit Gems in order to power the portal but… we've been having quite the problem lately… we had to remove most of the gems from this location."
"A problem? Is there anything…" my sentence was cut off by a loud screech coming from outside. Oh HELL no! That can't possibly be what I think it is!
"Shit! They're attacking again! We need to get out there now!" exclaimed the purple dragon. Spyro and Cynder immediately ran out of sight.
"Wait!" I called to Ignitus before he could leave. "Please tell me… what's attacking the temple?"
"We have no idea what they are. They are horrible creatures. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They…"
"Do they have a hole on their chests?" I cut in.
"Y-Yes…" Ignitus said, rather surprised that I knew this. "How did you…?"
"And do they have a mask on?" I cut in again. Ignitus nodded. That's all I needed. "Damn it all! Those are hollows!"
"Hollows? You know of these creatures?"
"Yes! I fight them all the time in the Spirit World. I'll explain later. Where's my zanpaktou?!" Ignitus looked at me with confusion. "My blade! The one I had with me!" Ignitus pointed to the bed of hay and sure enough, my blade rested on the floor in front of the bed. I rushed over, grabbed it, and began to run to the entrance. "Let's go!"
