Ok, just to let you know, some Neopets are going to be walking on two legs and some will be walking on all four. For clothes, that will come in the next chapter.


After lunch, Mystery bid goodbyes to Cutie and Grimlock and sets off with Snarl on her back. For unis, they like to shine their horns and show it off while Mystery uses her horn for magic. A kau named Kauvara gave her a potion as a thank you present for finding her books of spells. The potion was rubbed on her horn and Mystery can use it to levitate on objects or other Neopians. Mystery used her horn to pick up her book and she starts to read it. Snarl on the other hand, acts like an alarm to warn her what's in front of her.

After reading the book, the book suddenly vanished into a puff of green smoke! Snarl lands on Mystery's back and asked, " Ugga ugh Uggg Ugga a- ugga," ( Are you alright, Mystery?). Mystery smiled and scooped Snarl off her back and hugged him. "I'm alright, Snarl. This was not the first time." Mystery when back to her neohome to get ready.

" Okay lets see: Toiletries, check. Emergency medicines, check. Snacks, check. Petpet food, check. Snarl ready to go to bed for tomorrow, check."

The next morning, Mystery and Snarl were going to meet Grimlock and Cutie at the bakery for breakfast. When they arrive, Mystery saw Cutie with her Faerie-themed backpack with her warf, Cutie Jr. Grimlock on the other hand, was wearing a sharp tooth necklace that was given to him by his father in case there's a battle. He was accompanied by his puppyblew, Chompers. Both pet pets saw Snarl and they all play while their owners talk.

" So what's the plan?" asked the excited Cutie.

" First, we're gonna have some coffee and doughnuts," Mystery chuckled. " And then we are going to our first destination: Kiko Lake."

Grimlock was puzzled. " Why Kiko Lake?"

" Because it is close to Neopia Central if we walk there. Plus, who knows what will our talents be," Mystery gave the grarrl a sly grin.

So before leaving, the three Neopians went to the health shop to buy some granola bars, petpet supplied shop to get petpet food and healing potions from Kauvara's shop.

" Good luck, young Neopians!" Kauvara shouts to them. The three of them bid goodbyes. Mystery was walking while Snarl decided to fly above her, Cutie was keeping up with Cutie Jr and Grimlock was accompanied by his puppyblew, Chompers.

Suddenly, something popped into Grimlock's mind. " Hey, girls."

Mystery looked at her grarrl companion, " Yes, Grimlock?"

" I was thinking, since we're a team, how about we come up with a name that describes the three of us?"

" Hmm...Oh, how about the Dream Raiders?"

Mystery thought about it. It does sound like a good idea since all of them are looking for their dreams and special talents.

" Alright Cutie," Mystery finally replies. " Dream Raiders it is!"

And the Dream Raiders are off to their mission: Their destiny!

5 hours later

" Can we stop?" complained Cutie. " I'm tired!"

" My stomach's rumbling," Grimlock added. " Lets rest for a while."

" Ok guys, we'll sit under this three for lunch before we continue," said Mystery.

So the Dream Raiders and their petpets decided to have lunch that consists of egg salad sandwiches made by Grimlock and Mystery prepares the food for their hungry petpets. Suddenly, a young kiko ran up to them.

" Please, can you help me?" the kiko asked meekly.

" What seems to be the problem?" asked Mystery with concern in her voice.

" M-my little brother," the kiko stuttered. " Have you seen him?"

" Nope," Grimlock replies. " We haven't met a kiko so far on our journey. So what happen to your brother?"

" Yeah we want to know!" Cutie bounced up and down and finally patting a spot next to her for the kiko to sit down. Once the kiko was ready to tell her story.

" My brother, Reeves was going to his friend's house to play and I told him to come back an hour ago. An hour just passed so I thought I better go to his friend's to see if everything's alright."

" And then what happen?" asked Mystery.

" A-and that THING! THAT NIGHTMARE! He took Reeves away from me!"

Grimlock stood up. " What did it look like? I'm gonna teach it a lesson."

Chompers also growled with his master.

Suddenly, Cutie's body started to shake. "What's wrong Cutie?"

" I'm sensing something Mystery. I can't tell what it is but follow me!"

The three Neopians and petpets followed Cutie until they reached a cave. All of them heard a cry:

" Someone help me! I want to go home!"

Mystery walks inside the cave slowly with Snarl first, followed by the other. All of the gasp when the saw a baby kiko trapped in a large spider web.

Before any of the Neopians could save the kiko, they heard a low cackle behind them.

" Well, well. I'm going to have a feast tonight. And little petpets for dessert."

Both Mystery and Grimlock knew who that was:

The Spider Grundo.


Ooh, how will the Dream Raiders defeat Neopia's creepiest villain? Stay tune!
