Chapter 11: Liberating Autumn Plains
In what looks like a plain with many trees that have falling leaves, there is another castle in the center of the plain and in the castle is Moneybags.
"Oh, that Ripto! His troublemaking has been costing me a fortune! It's only a matter fo time before I become bankrupt! Thankfully, Spyro, those other strange dragons, and their friends are doing something about that vile reptile! If I confront Ripto, I'd give him a piece of my mind! In fact, I would gladly give a nice punch or two!" Moneybags said, making punch motions, but as he turns around, he sees Ripto, who is on Gulp's back.
"Boo." Ripto said, making Moneybags fall off the castle.
"RIPTO!" Moneybags shouted.
"Hahaha! What a baffoon!" Ripto said, as banners of Ripto's image hang onto the castle's walls.
Just then, someone comes flying into the castle and it's what looks like a masked figure with yellow eyes, white gloves, purple shoulder pads, purple armored shoes, and black crooked wings, which transfrom into a cape.
"So, you have taken yet another castle after failing Summer Forest." The masked figure said.
"It was because of that annoying dragon and to make matters worse, the other two dragons happen to be the ones Dr. Facilier and Maleficent warned me about! They already defeated that simpleton Crush, but Avalar is still mine for the taking! I even got more of those Heartless into this place's worlds to cause as much havoc as they want." Ripto said.
"Just don't forget to find that Keyhole and the Faerie Heart. You'd do well not to fail them." The masked figure said.
"And YOU make sure no one stands in the way of my conquest! I'll fulfill my role flawlessy." Ripto said.
"I hope you are right because the heroes of light are on their way here." The masked figure said.
"Let them come on over! I'll gladly get rid of them!" Ripto said.
Later, Kibou, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Twilight, Arthur, Amity, Kirby, and Spyro follow Elora and Hunter and they arrive at the plain.
"Here we are, Autumn Plains." Elora said.
"Wow, it looks just as nice as Summer Forest." Kibou said.
"Oh, no! Look!" Hunter said, pointing at Ripto's banners on the castle walls.
"We're too late! Ripto has taken over Autumn Plains!" Elora said.
"Hey, no problem. We kicked him outta Summer Forest and we do do the same here." Spyro said.
"Before you do, you're gonna have to obtain more Talismans in order to challenge Ripto." Elora said.
"Just how did Ripto get here anyway?" Goofy asked.
"The Professor was working on a portal that could lead to a different world, but then Hunter decided to put in his birthday to try and pinpoint a world!" Elora said, glaring at Hunter.
"I said I was sorry!" Hunter said, crossing his arms.
"That's how Ripto and his minions came to Avalar and we had to shut down the portal to prevent him from bringing any more of his minions here. We then learned that much to his relief, there are no dragons in Avalar, so we decided to try and bring in a dragon to Avalar to get rid of Ripto and that's how we used that portal in Glimmer." Elora explained.
"And that's were I came in and how I got here instead of Dragon Shores." Spyro said.
"I'm really sorry we're asking much of you, Spyro, but we really need your help." Elora said.
"Hey, don't worry. All we gotta do is find more Talismans and kick Ripto out for good." Spyro said.
"And we're also gonna help!" Sora said.
"I still don't know how you guys got to Avalar, but I really appreciate your help." Elora said.
"Looks like we got more worlds around here to explore." Donald said.
"Well, enough standing around. We need to get moving." Twilight said and they nod.
(Autumn Plains)
(Field Theme: Autumn Plains)
The group begin moving through Autumn Plains and they find a portal close to them and the portal says 'Crystal Glacier' and so they go into that portal.
(Crystal Glacier-Snowy Grounds)
The group arrive at a snowy field with nothing but snow and ice all over.
"Ugh, why does it have to be a cold world?" Kibou asked.
"I already hate it here!" Sora said.
"Let's hurry and find that Talisman and get outta here." Spyro said.
The group begin moving, only to find Heartless that look like snowmen attacking what looks like a caveman wearing a coat.
"Here we go again." Arthur said.
"Come on." Amity said.
The group confront the Heartless known as the Snow Soldiers, who conjure snowballs and throw them at the group, who dodge and Kibou casts Blaze to deal great damage to the Heartless while Sora horizontal slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Fire. The Snow Soldiers rain down more snowballs at the group, only for Twilight to create a magic barrier and then casts her magenta flame at the Heartless while Donald casts Fire while Amity fires two pink fireballs, but the Snow Soldiers create snow flake blades to attack.

As they reach the upper part of the cave, Blue Rhapsodies appear and attack the group, only for Kibou to cast Blaze while Sora casts Fire while Spyro breathes fire, defeating the Heartless and they later find a way outside the cave, where they find more Ice Cavemen under attack by Heartless. The group fight off the Heartless and defeat them, saving the Cavemen and they reach the next part of the snow grounds, where they find another Ice Caveman.
"Thank you for clearing this place of those things. Here, you can have this Talisman." The Ice Caveman said, giving the group Crystal Glacier's Talisman.
"Looks like we're done. Let's keep moving." Kibou said, as they use the portal to leave Crystal Glacier.
The group return to Autumn Plains and they find another portal that says 'Skelos Badlands' and they go for the next portal.
(Skelos Badlands-Lava Field)
(Field Theme: Skelos Badlands)
The group are now in what looks like a badlands with lava flowing and there are many bones around.
"Huh? This place kinda feels same and different." Arthur said.
"It's just a fire version of the last world we were at." Donald said.
The group begin moving, but find many cavemen being attacked by Heartless that look like giant lizards made of magma.
"We need to clear them out." Amity said, as they confront the Heartless.
The Heartless known as Lavazards unleash lava on the ground to try and burn the group, who manage to avoid the lava and Kibou casts Blizzard to deal great damage while Sora digaonal slashes with his Keyblade followed by a spin slash while Spyro delivers a horn charge.

The Lavazards unleash more molten rocks and send them to attack at the group, only for Arthur to block them with his shield and then vertical slashes with his sword followed by a shield bash while Twilight unleashes magic orbs from her tome followed by casting Thunder and they defeat all the Heartless.
"Wow, you guys are pretty tough. I bet you can't get through these badlands without getting cinched." The Caveman said.
"Watch us!" Sora said.
"Yeah, we'll prove you wrong!" Spyro said.
The group continue moving through the badlands' lava fields while dealing with more Heartless and they later find a cave and decide to go into it.
(Skelos Badlands-Magma Cave)

The group find a line of skeletal remains over the lava and so the group use the skeletal remains to get across while avoid falling into the lava, but they see Red Nocturne Heartless, who shoot fireballs, only for the group to defeat them and continue through the cave until they find a way out of the lava cave.

The group keep moving across the boneyard while crossing the lava, reaching the other side and later, they reach the end of the boneyard, where they find another Caveman.
"Hey, you guys made it in once piece and you defeated those monsters! Have this Talisman for showing your courage." The Caveman said, giving the group Skelos Badlands' Talsiman.
"Can we get out of here? I already feel hot in this world." Arthur said.
"Yeah, me too." Goofy said, as they go for the portal and leave Skelos Badlands.
The group are back in Autumn Plains and they begin searching for the next portal and they find a small tower, where they find Moneybags standing next to a portal that doesn't work.
"Oh, you, that annoying bear." Kibou said.
"Aww, Spyro and friends. You're in luck! Legend has it that this portal leads to a world called Zephyr. Legend also has it I know a way to activate. Furthermore, as I recall, the legend also mentions it can be activated again with...a small fee." Moneybags said.
"And how much is this 'small fee'?" Twilight asked.
"700 gems." Moneybags said.
"Ugh, fine!" Spyro said, giving Moneybags 700 gems.
"Thank you, Spyro! With all this cash, I can open a burger shop." Moneybags said.
"Open THIS!" Donald said, casting Thunder on Moneybags, who is now electrified.
The portal is now active and it says 'Zephyr' and the group go into the portal.
(Zephyr-Battleground)
(Field Theme: Zephyr)
The group are now in what looks like a battleground, where they see cannons and missiles.
"Whoa! Did we walk into a war or something?" Twilight asked.
"This is bad, especially since we'll be dealing with Heartless." Arthur said.
The group start moving through the battleground while avoiding cannons and missiles and as they keep moving, they see what look like worm creatures being attacked by Heartless that look like vultures.
"And lo and behold, more Heartless." Amity said.
"You know what to do." Spyro said, confronting the Heartless.
The vulture Heartless known as Air Breakers fly around and unleash small whirlwinds to get the group, who dodge and Kibou aerial slashes with his Gemblade followed by casting Thunder while Sora also aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by an aerial drilling slash while Spyro breathes fire. The Air Breakers fly into the air and deliver diving attacks while unleashing wind blade attacks, only for Amity to use her Abomination hand, which grabs an Air Breaker and slams it to the ground while Twilight flies around and shoots magic bolts followed by casting Earth, but the Air Breakers keep flying and create more winds. Arthur uses Sky Dance and aerial slashes at the Heartless followed by a downward shield attack while Goofy uses Rocket, but the Air Breakers unleash wind blades and send them to attack, only for to Kirby multi jump and delivers an aerial strike with his hammer while Donald casts Thunder and they defeat the Heartless.
"Well done, soldiers! I thought those things came from Breeze Harbor, but I guess not. See if you can find more those monsters and clear 'em out!" The Worm Soldier said.
"Sir, yes, sir!" Goofy said, saluting.
"Goofy!" Donald yelled, jumping up and down.
The group continue through the battleground, where they find more Worms being attacked by Heartless, only for them to fight off the enemies and continue and they later find a tunnel and decide to enter it.
(Zephyr-Tunnel)
The group enter the tunnel and they find more Air Breakers, who unleash whirlwinds to attack, but Kibou and Sora fight them off and they continue through the tunnel, only to find Soldiers, who pick up rockets on the ground and throw them at the group, who dodge.

The group hurry for the fortress and confront the Heartless, who attack, only for Kibou and Sora to aerial attack with their weapons while Spyro shoots fireballs at the flying Heartless, who retaliate with unleashing wind blades. Twilight flies to confront the Heartless and unleashes magenta lightning while Amity shoots three pink fireballs, only for the Air Breakers to unleash whirlwinds.

"We gotta go and deal with our own battle." Kibou said, as they go for the portal and leave Zephyr.

"Whew, thanks a bunch. We thought those guys came from Zephyr, but clearly not. There could be more where they came from." The Bird Trooper said.
"Just leave it to us." Sora said.
The group continue moving through the docks to find more Heartless and they later go for a different area.
(Breeze Harbor-Trolly Tunnel)
The group arrive at a tunnel, where they find a trolly.
"A trolly?" Spyro asked.
"Wonder where this could take us." Kibou said.

"Back to Autumn Plains for us." Spyro said, as they use the portal to leave Breeze Harbor.
The group return to Breeze Harbor and begin searching for more portals.
"These can't be the only portals left." Twilight said.
"There might be more around. C'mon." Sora said.
The group continue searching for portals and they arrive at the castle walls and they look up to see the way into the castle is high up.
"How're we supposed to get up THERE?" Kibou asked.
"You forgot you have me." Twilight said, using her magic to levitate the group up and they go into the castle.

"Now we're in a desert?" Spyro asked.
"And already, I'm feeling hot." Sora said.
Just then, something comes flying to the group and it's the same masked figure.
"So, you are the ones causing trouble for Ripto? You're going to wish you hadn't." The masked figure said.
"Ugh, another masked freak!" Kibou said.
"Poyo!" Kirby said.
"Huh?" Donald asked.
"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby said.
"Guys, I think Kirby knows this guy." Arthur said.
"Ah, Kirby, so you have survived our world's destruction. A pity, for I, Meta Knight, shall be your end." Meta Knight said.
"Wait, what?" Sora asked.
"I have this world's Talisman and will deliver this to Ripto." Meta Knight said, revealing Scorch's Talisman.
"Hey, we need that! Hand it over!" Kibou said.
"If you want this, then come follow me, heroes, if you dare!" Meta Knight said, transforming his cape into wings form and flies off.
"C'mon, after him!" Sora said.
The group begin chasing Meta Knight through the desert grounds, but Meta Knight flies faster to get away from the group, who try to keep up, but then, Heartless that look like mummies known as Wrap Traps appear and attack the group with their bandages.

"So, you did follow me here. Impressive." Meta Knight said.
"Hand over that Talisman!" Spyro said.
"You can't run from us forever!" Arthur said.
"True, but you cannot chase me forever! I doubt you can outfight me!" Meta Knight said, taking out a yellow and orange sword with spikes on its edge.
"Wanna bet?" Sora said, taking out his Keyblade.
"We'll teach ya not to mess with us!" Kibou said.
"Come!" Meta Knight said.

"Ugh, he's tough..." Kibou said.
"Hmph, I expected more from the Gembearer and the Keybearer. You are nothing more than pathetic kids." Meta Knight said.
"What'd you say?!" Sora demanded.
"If this is the best Avalar has to offer, than you will stand little chance against Ripto. Take this Talisman. It will not help you either way." Meta Knight said, giving Scorch's Talisman.
"Poyo!" Kirby yelled.
"Foolish Kirby. You think they can defeat Ripto? It appears their foolishness has rubbed off on you, as you are already feeble-minded." Meta Knight said, disappearing in his cape and is now gone.
"What a jerk." Spyro said.
"Who does he think he is?" Donald asked.
"Tell me we're not gonna see him again." Arthur said.
"I don't know, but we got the Talisman. Let's just go." Amity said, as they go for the portal and leave Scorch.
After the group are gone, Meta Knight watches.
"Hmm, they appear to have...potential. They are skillful to be sure, but they must be stronger to defeat Dr. Facilier and Maleficent. Perhaps I'll observe them further." Meta Knight said, vanishing in his cape.
The group are back in Autumn Plains and continue moving through the castle's corridors and they find another portal that says 'Fracture Hills' and decide to go into the portal next.
(Fracture Hills-Hilltop)

The group arrive at what looks like a hilltop and it's nighttime and as they begin moving, they find what looks like a stone statue of a satyr surrounded by Heartless that look like golems.
"Ugh, here too." Kibou said.
"Of course." Spyro said, as they confront the golem Heartless.

"Thank you for saving me. There are five more of us satyrs to free in order to save the temple." The satyr said.
"We're gonna have to listen to MORE bagpipes!" Donald said.
The group continue moving through the hilltops to find more satyrs and they find more Stone Crusher Heartless and so Kibou and Sora attack with their weapons and they defeat the Heartless, as they free the second satyr, who plays his bagpipes and helps destroy the stone structure.

"You've done well. All of us satyrs are free and the temple is restored." The sixth satyr said.
"Finally, no more bagpipes." Kibou said.
"Thank goodness." Donald said.
The group head for the temple and enter it, where they find a faun, who is playing a yo-yo.
"Oh, so you like, saved our temple or whatever. Thanks, I guess. Anyway, the other fauns told me to give you this." The Faun said, giving the Fracture Hills Talisman.
"Can we go now? I'm tired of being here." Amity said.
"Yeah, we can go." Spyro said, as they go for the portal and leave Fracture Hills.

"Are we glad to see some help. We're on our way to get to the fruit stash, but those monsters keep attacking us. Can you help protect us?" The hippo creature asked.
"Yeah, okay." Spyro said.
The group begin escorting the hippos through the temple's gardens, but then, Soldiers, Large Bodies, and Air Soldiers appear and attack, but Kibou delivers four slashes at the Soldiers followed by a wide slash while Sora casts Earth at the Large Bodies followed by casting Thunder. The Soldiers attack with their claws while the Large Bodies create shock waves while the Air Soldiers attack in the air, but Arthur uses Sky Dance at the Air Soldiers while Kirby inhales a Soldier, becoming Soldier Kirby and attacks with his claws while Spyro breathes fire at the Large Bodies. The Large Bodies become angry and charge to attack while the Soldiers deliver spin kicks while the Air Soldiers somersault kick in the air, but Amity uses her Abomination to shoulder charge at the Large Bodies while Goofy bashes the Soldiers with his shield while Twilight and Donald both cast Thunder at the Air Soldiers and they defeat the Heartless.
The group continue to escort the hippos through the temple and they find an apple tree and so Kirby takes it, as well as the hippos and they grow big from eating the apples and the hippos knock down doors blocking the path. The escort of the hippos continue while the group fight off more Heartless, such as Red Nocturnes and Yellow Operas and they find more apple trees, which the hippos eat and knock down more doors in their way and continue through the temple and they enter a different area.
(Shady Oasis-Inner Temple)
The group are in the inner temple and keep escorting the hippos through the temple, but more Large Bodies appear and deliver double punches, only for Kibou to cast Blizzard while Sora casts Earth while Spyro breathes fire and they continue to move through the inner temple and they find another apple tree. The hippos eat the apples and use their immense size to knock down more doors and they keep going, only for Soldiers and Large Bodies to appear and attack the group. Kibou slashes with his Gemblade while Sora attacks with his Keyblade while Donald casts Fire while Twilight shoots magic blasts while Goofy uses Charge while Arthur double slashes with his sword while Amity shoots pink fireballs while Kirby inhales a Large Body, becoming Large Body Kirby and double punches while Spyro breathes fire and they defeat the Heartless.
Later, the group escort the hippos to a room full of apple trees.
"Thanks for your help, guys. Here, have this." The Hippo said, giving the group Shady Oasis' Talisman.
"Looks like we're done here." Kibou said, as they use the portal to leave Shady Oasis.
The group are back in Autumn Plains and they find Elora.
"Good news, guys! You have enough Talismans to challenge Ripto and Gulp. They're in the throne room." Elora said.
"Guys, let's get ready." Sora said.
"Let's see if we can stop Ripto for good." Arthur said, as they go for the next room.
(Autumn Plains-Castle Throne Room)
In the castle throne room, Ripto is with Gulp and he has a fairy.
"Gulp, we've done it! Avalar is all ours! And with the Heartless causing havoc, nothing can stop us now! All that's left is that Keyhole and the Faerie Heart, but first, you've been helpful, you deserve a reward." Ripto said, showing the fairy.
The group arrive at the throne room and are behind Ripto.
"Ready for a nice sneak attack?" Kibou asked and they nod.
"Gulp, what is it, boy? Oh, the fairy. Here you go." Ripto said, but Spyro breathes fire on Ripto, making him release the fairy, who flies away. "You?! You cinched my cape! Dragons, you're getting on my nerves!" Ripto said, running and gets on the throne.
"Get down here and fight us!" Donald yelled.
"Gulp! Snack time!" Ripto said, as Gulp confronts the group.
"Now we have to deal ANOTHER big guy!" Spyro said.
"Fine by me! We can take him!" Sora said.
"Gulp, finish them off and you can have ALL the fairies you can eat! I'm going to enjoy this!" Ripto said.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil)
Gulp uses his blasters on his back to fire green energy shots at the group, who dodge out of the way, but Gulp continues to fire green energy shots at the group, only for Kibou to aerial slash at Gulp with his Gemblade followed by casting Blaze while Sora delivers four aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Thunder, but Gulp runs at the group and tries to jump on them. The group dodge Gulp's jump attack and Spyro breathes fire while Twilight fires magic blasts followed by unleashing magenta fire, but Gulp keeps firing his green energy shots at the group, who dodge and Goofy uses Tornado while Amity uses her Abomination to deliver hammer fist strikes. Gulp charges at the group and delivers a bull like charge attack at the group, who avoid Gulp, who keeps trying to charge, only for Donald to cast Earth, creating a rock wall, making Gulp hit the rock wall, causing him to stun and Arthur uses Sword Thrust while Kirby charges his hammer, has flames and delivers a big bash. Gulp recovers and shoots more green energy at the group, who avoid Gulp's energy shots, only for Sora to aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by an aerial spin slash and then casts Blizzard while Kibou delivers four aerial slashes with his Gemblade followed by an aerial flipping slash and then casts Earth, but Gulp charges at the group to try and jump on them again.
As Gulp is about to try and land on the group, Amity summons an Abomination hand, which grabs Gulp and then slams him to the ground before throwing him away allowing Goofy to use Rocket, but Gulp recovers and then starts running around the throne room while shooting more green energy shots, making the group avoid Gulp's attacks. Gulp continues running while firing more green energy shots, but Donald casts Aero to protect the group and then casts Earth again to make another rock wall and Gulp runs into the rock wall again, stunning him and allowing Kirby to multi jump and then uses Stone to drop on Gulp while Arthur uses Sword Spin. Gulp recovers again and jumps around in anger and begins firing two giant green energy beams from his blasters at the group, who dodge out of the way, but Gulp continues firing his green energy beams and then charges at the group to deliver a bull attack. Twilight to cast Earth to make another rock wall, amking Gulp crash into it again, stunnng Gulp again and then Twilight casts Thunder followed by casting Blaze while Spyro jumps over Gulp and delivers a diving horn attack to do some damage, but Gulp recovers once more and runs around while firing his giant energy beams at the group, who dodge away from Gulp's attacks, but Gulp keeps running while still firing his giant energy beams. Gulp stops running around and then charges to try and jump on the group, only for Kibou to cast Thunder to strike down Gulp while Sora aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by an aerial spin slash and they finish off Gulp, who stands on his hind legs and then falls on his back.
As Gulp falls on his back, one of his blasters fires an energy shot at the throne Ripto is still sitting on, causing the throne to fall back at the castle wall.
"Oh, no! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ripto shouted, as the throne falls out of the castle and so does Ripto.
"Good riddance." Amity said, as Ripto's banners are gone from the castle.
Just then, Elora arrives at the throne room.
"Guys, you did it! Not only is Autumn Plains free, but Ripto is completely gone! Avalar is finally free from his trouble!" Elora said.
"That's great, Elora!" Twilight said.
"Finally. At least we won't be dealing with him." Sora said.
"There's more good news; ever since you guys arrived and helped people, everyone in Avalar are starting to get along." Elora said.
"Wow, that is great news!" Arthur said.
"As a token of our appreciation and I know how much Spyro wanted a vacation, we decided to give you a little something." Elora said, as two fairies arrive with a chair and an umbrella.
"Wow, all this for me. Thanks." Spyro said, getting on the chair.
"So, what're you gonna do now, Elora?" Kibou asked.
"I'm going to join the Professor to see if we can get the portal in Winter Tundra working again so we can send Spyro home." Elora said, leaving.
"It's great that Ripto's gone and all, but shouldn't we be looking for the Keyhole and the Faerie Heart?" Amity asked.
"Oh, right! I almost forgot!" Sora said.
"Let's go for 'em!" Goofy said, as they leave.
Spyro then wakes up to notice everyone is gone.
"Huh? Elora? Kibou? Sora? I better go after them!" Spyro said, also leaving the throne room.
There's Chapter 11, and yes, there will be another part of Avalar coming, but it's the conclusion. Let me know what you think. Look forward to more action coming on the way, as the story continues. I really hope you're enjoying this story so far and continue looking forward to what's gonna happen next. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in Chapter 12, where we conclude with the group's time in Avalar. See ya.
