Enjoy! I'm using some parts of my other stories in this chapter. Hope you like it!

The next thing Matt knew, he was lying on his back on a stone table. Stitch and Pikachu both stood over him with worry etched on their faces.

"Matt!" Stitch yelled happily.

"You're ok," Pikachu added.

Matt groaned. He lifted himself up while rubbing his head. He looked around. Hunter and Sparx were also there. "Aww…man. My head…"

"Are you alright Matt?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah...I think so."

"You had us worried," Pikachu said. "You've never done that before."

"What happen to Matt?" Stitch asked.

"Yeah kid," Sparx said. "Too scared of some big scary dragon?"

Matt looked at the group. Would they all believe him? He decided to change the subject.

"Where are the Guardians?" he asked.

"They are on patrol," Hunter replied. "When you went down, they asked us to bring you here. They are each now going to gather what little force there is left to protect the city." He looked at Matt suspiciously. "Pikachu, you say Matt has never just fainted like that before?"

"Not once," Pikachu replied.

"Hm…how strange," Hunter said. "Perhaps he just had a negative reaction to the dark energy of Malchoir…"

"No, it wasn't that," Matt interrupted. "We've faced some pretty dark powers before. It would take more than Malchoir to stop us."

"Then what was it?" Hunter asked.

"Whatever it was," Sparx said. "It was actually kind of funny. I've never seen anyone just faint on sight like that since…" Suddenly, Sparx just stopped mid-sentence. He looked down with a grave look in his eyes.

"Since what?" Pikachu asked.

"Sparx…," Hunter said with concern.

"Huh?" Stitch asked.

Matt decided quickly. "Since…Spyro?"

Hunter and Sparx gasped and stared at him. Pikachu and Stitch did the same, but in confusion.

"How do you know that name?" Hunter asked.

"You've heard of Spyro?" Sparx asked.

"Who's Spyro?" Pikachu asked.

"Spyro? He's my brother and my best pal. He…and his friend…are the reason Hunter and I are still here. He's the reason we're all still here…" Sparx started to tear and sniffle. "Dang it…got something in my eye."

Hunter went on to explain to Stitch and Pikachu about how Spyro and Cynder had sacrificed themselves to save the world.

"Wow…," Stitch said.

"That's a great story," Pikachu added.

Hunter then asked Matt again how he knew who Spyro was.

"Well…long story short…I've played as Spyro before," Matt replied. He added that Spyro was a popular character where he came from, but he was considered fictional.

"How interesting…," Hunter said. "Sparx, you said Spyro fainted like that before?"

The dragonfly nodded in response. "Spyro always had some new power when he did…" It then hit Sparx. "He said he saw that Chronicler guy when that happened!"

"Is that what happened to you Matt?" Pikachu asked.

"That can't be possible," Hunter said. "Only a dragon can be summoned by the Chronicler, and Matt certainly isn't one."

"Still," Matt said. "I did meet him."

"But I said that wasn't…"

"Believe what you want to believe!" Matt yelled.

"What'd the old geezer want with you kid?" Sparx asked.

"He asked me to do something….something that can defeat Malchoir."

"What might that be?" Hunter asked. Stitch and Pikachu were curious as well.

"It's…well…" Matt was finding it hard to say what Ignitus's request was. He turned to Stitch and Pikachu. "We have to go somewhere."

"Where?" they asked.

"That's the thing…," Matt said. "I don't know where we have to go, but I do know what our mission is."

"What is it?" Stitch asked.

Matt looked at the entire group and took a deep breath to ready himself. He then explained that the Chronicler asked him to save Spyro and Cynder from whatever plane/existence they were stuck in with the Keyblade.

Sparx stared at Matt. "Are you saying…he's alive?"

"How is that possible?" Hunter asked.

Matt didn't know how to answer Hunter's question. He could explain to them how the Chronicler noted their deaths hadn't been recorded.

"So you think they're alive, but trapped somewhere?" Hunter asked.

"Yes…but I don't know where to begin to look…," Matt said sadly. He looked at Stitch and Pikachu. "I don't know what to do."

"Wesa think of something," Stitch exclaimed.

"Yeah," Pikachu said. "We've taken on bigger challenges before. If rescuing those dragons can help stop the Heartless, then we'll find a way to get them here, Matt"

Matt grinned at his friends, and then nodded. "Right," he said. He looked at Hunter. "How much time do we have left?"

"Less than a day. Do you really think you can pull off something like this in that amount of time?"

"Hunter man!" Sparx said. "Are you kidding? If this kid knows how to save Spyro, we've got to try something!"

"True. We'll see how this plays out. I'll alert the Guardians of what happened to you, but you'll probably have to explain all this to them as well."

"Spyro," Cynder said. "Stop blaming yourself for this." She was trying to help him break out of the funk he was in.

"But it's my fault were stuck in this place!"

"If you hadn't, we wouldn't still be breathing. I know it's hard, but we'll find a way out of here. I know it."

"I hope you're right, I really do…"

Still, Spyro couldn't help but beat himself up over things like this. Sure they had beaten Malefor and saved the world, but he didn't want this. It's not like the place they were in was horrible, but he didn't want to stay there for an eternity.

He didn't want Cynder to stay there for an eternity. She had already done so much…

Spyro cared about her more than anything now. Nothing else really mattered anymore, but being the bashful dragon he was, he didn't have the guts to tell her. Although, he probably would have to eventually as they were alone together…

Oddly enough, this wasn't the only thing troubling him. Spyro found sleeping a lot harder than ever. He didn't feel like it, but Cynder made sure that he did.

"We may need our strength," she said. "We have to be ready for anything."

Tonight, Spyro was having another dream. Another dream about him. The same person he'd been dreaming about the past few nights. It was as if Spyro were there, but he was watching from the side.

And this one was even more interesting than ever before:

"How?!" a red-haired man asked. "You should be dead. No one can resist me!" He then looked down and laughed. "Well then, I suppose that you are the next Keyblader after all."

A human boy, who had brown hair answered. He held a odd, blue blade, that was shaped like a key."Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

"Matt," a yellow mouse-like creature said softly. "You saved us."

"Eh," a blue dog-like creature added. "You save us."

"Thank you."

Matt blushed. "Well… I couldn't just let him kill you could I? You're my friends and I couldn't let you get hurt. I guess were even now, huh?"

The scene shifted again.

"Well," Matt said. "I'm going to find my friend. She deserves that from me. I don't know why, but I have to do this. If the Organization or the Heartless get in my way…they're going down. If you guys don't…"

"Stitch with you," he said.

"So am I, Matt" the mouse said.

Matt put out his hand. "Team?"

The others did as well. "Team."

The scene shifted one more time.

The three friends were close together as a strong energy radiated from the top of Matt's 'Keyblade'. They were looking at two more humans, who looked oddly the same. One was holding down the other.

"This is my world Keyblader! MY WORLD!!!" one of them yelled.

"Not anymore!" Matt pointed the Keyblade at his enemy and released the energy. The blast shot out like a cannon. The enemy was destroyed in a flash of light.

Spyro woke with a gasp and in a cold sweat. He looked over and sighed a breath of relief. He hadn't awoken Cynder.

Spyro looked to the sky. Who is this person…? I've never met him before. Ignitus had briefly told him about the human race, which was he was sure this 'Matt' was. He had never seen one that wasn't in a book until now.

Spyro sighed. I could feel that energy coming from him. What power!

Still… why am I dreaming about him…? What are they trying to tell me?

He looked at the sleeping Cynder again. I wish I knew…

Matt explained the mission given to him to the Guardians. They were shocked that a human was summoned to the White Isles when it was thought only dragons could. The fact that Spyro and Cynder could still be alive was a good thought to them, but the threat of Malchoir was still on their minds.

"Whatever the Chronicler told you to do," Terrador said. "You'd better do it…soon."

That was the problem. Even with his friends helping him think, Matt still had no idea how he was going to set the two heroes free. It was getting dark too.

"You three must rest," Hunter said. "I have a feeling you'll need your strength for whatever battles are to come." The Guardians gave them permission to stay the night in the Temple.

Stitch and Pikachu agreed, more than ready for some shut-eye. However, Matt couldn't sleep. While everyone else slumbered, he was outside staring at the stars.

Ignitus's words still haunted him. How could the great dragon expect him to do the impossible?

Matt summoned the Keyblade and held it in his hand. While it gave him strength, he knew it couldn't tell him what he needed to do. He then started to think about everything he had been through since he'd left home. He had done so much, and helped so many.

Matt sighed. Hunter was right. He was going to need his rest. Matt walked over to a corner and layed down. To his surprise, he was asleep within seconds.

After a few hours, Matt suddenly awoke with a start. He put a big smile on his face. "That's it…" he whispered. "It has to be…"

I'd say it's getting more and more interesting. Any thoughts? Comments? I'd really appreciate knowing.
