Alright, thanks to everyone for reading again.

I do not own any of the Spyro characters or the Kingdom Hearts elements. I do own Matt.

The next thing Matt knew, he was lying face first on the ground. He groaned and lifted himself up.

"Whoa…what a rush," he said while rubbing his head. He opened his eyes and looked around.

It was as if he and Sparx had never left. They were on a hill that overlooked a large valley below them. There was a vast lake as well. Everything seemed normal, but Matt knew better.

"Sparx?" he asked. The dragonfly was lying on the ground next to him. "Hey are you alright?"

Sparx groaned in response. "Ok, I'm never jumping into a random portal leading to nowhere again." He then looked around as well. "Now where are we kid?"

"Well…I would think…I would hope that we can find Spyro and Cynder now." He then remembered. "We have to hurry. Stitch, Pikachu, and Hunter are still fighting right now."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hang on Spyro! We're coming!" Sparx flew forward with great speed. Matt could only pray they were right.

They moved as quickly as they could throughout the valley, but there was no sign of the two dragons anywhere.

Sparx began to get impatient. "C'mon man, where are you?" They continued to circle the lake.

"Don't give up," Matt said. Still, even he began to have some doubt. What if the Chronicler, Ignitus, was wrong? What if all this effort was all for nothing?

If you say the Keyblade led you here, then it may show you the way…. You may be the only one who can accomplish this mission…

"Right…," Matt mumbled. Suddenly, a cold chill went down his spine. That could only mean one thing.

"Oh no…how'd they get here?" Matt realized that some of the Heartless must have gotten into the portal before he and Sparx did.

"Are you saying those thingys are here too?" Sparx asked.

"I know they're here," Matt exclaimed. "Look!" Dead ahead of them was a group of Heartless..and they were overpowering two figures.

"Is that…?" Sparx asked quietly.

Matt didn't answer. He charged towards his enemies, with his Keyblade posied…

"Thanks, Cynder," Spyro said. He bit into one of the apples that Cynder had brought for them to eat. It had been her turn to get their meal this time.

"No problem," she replied. Cynder had thought a lot about it, and she felt that maybe now was the best time to talk. It's not like they didn't have anything else to do. "Hey, Spyro?"

"Yeah?"

"Umm…have you been having any strange dreams lately?"

Spyro froze. "Why do you ask? I'm not talking in my sleep am I?"

"No…it's just…for the past couple of nights…"

"Go on," Spyro pleaded.

"Spyro. You haven't seen a human before right?"

Spyro hesitated. "No…Ignitus told me about them, but I've never seen one in person before. Why do you ask Cynder?"

Before Cynder could reply, she suddenly gasped. "Spyro! Something's not right!"

"What?! What is it Cynder?"

"I don't know…but I sense something…" The trees around them began to blow with a strong gust. Cynder and Spyro readied themselves by getting behind each other.

What's happening? I guess we weren't alone after all, Spyro thought. Suddenly, he heard Cynder scream.

Spyro quickly turned around. Cynder was encased in shadow…but it wasn't the same as her own shadow power.

"Cynder!" Spyro tried his fire breath, but was shocked to find he was out of power. "What? My powers!"

"Spyro!"

"Hang on!" Spyro was about to come to her rescue, but soon found himself encased. Everything was getting dark around him. It was as if he was being choked by a force he couldn't see.

Spyro could still hear Cynder. "CYNDER! NO!" He couldn't lose her…not now, but he was powerless to stop it.

Please…no…Cynder…I'm sorry…

When all hope seemed lost, Spyro saw something he thought he'd never see again. A powerful light was breaking through the darkness around him.

What's happening…? That was the last thing Spyro knew…

Matt finished the job by slashing the last Heartless away with his Keyblade. He had arrived just in the nick of time. One more second and Spyro and Cynder would have been lost, but instead they just layed on the ground peacefully.

Sparx just stood frozen in place. He looked as though he had seen a ghost.

"Sparx…?" Matt asked with a chuckle. "You alright?"

Sparx stared at his friends and slowly formed the biggest grin Matt hadn't seen since the video game.

"Sp…sp…Spyro! I knew it! I knew he was still alive! I knew this plan would work! Didn't I tell you?"

Matt just shook his head at the dragonfly. He fell to his knees and looked at the dragons and stared. He had done it…

Both of them began to stir and groan.

"Spyro! Wake up! Sparx has arrived!"

"…Huh…Sparx? Is that you?" Spyro hadn't opened his eyes yet.

"Who else would it be man?"

Spyro opened his eyes. "How do I know I'm not dreaming?"

Sparx then flew over and hugged his brother with reckless abandon. Matt stood shocked.

"Ok…believe you…choking me," Spyro gasped. Sparx apologized and let go.

"Huh? Spyro?" Cynder had woken up. "Sparx?! Is that you?"

"It is Sparx!" Spyro yelled. "I don't believe it!"

"Wow!" Cynder was shocked, yet ran over and the three friends were united once more. Matt only could just smile.

"I knew you guys could beat that big ugly, I knew it!" Sparx said.

"We did it together," Spyro added. "Is everyone alright Sparx?"

"Things are cool…for now."

"What do you mean?" Cynder asked.

"Who cares man? The dream team is back together." Sparx looked at Cynder. "Hey, girl. Thanks for looking out for my main man."

"Glad to," she replied.

Spyro and Cynder then looked over at their rescuer and both gasped. It was him…

Matt just stood frozen, unable to think of something to say.

Sparx, being the mediator, broke the silence. "Oh, right. You guys, it's because of this kid over here that got me to you. His name's…"

"…Matt…," Spyro and Cynder both said together.

"Yeah, that's ri…WHAT?"

Matt gasped. "How do you know my name?"

Spyro and Cynder both looked at each other in shock as well. "How did you know?" they asked each other. They then looked at Matt.

"Uh…," Matt said. Ignitus hadn't warned him about this.

Sparx again broke the silence. "Well, I might as well ask? How do you two know this kid?"

Spyro spoke up. "Well, Sparx. I've seen Matt in my dreams before." He looked at Cynder. "Is this what you wanted to tell me Cynder?"

"Yes," she replied. "He saved us, Spyro. Thank you, Matt."

"No problem," Matt replied.

"What were those things?" Spyro asked. "I've never seen them before."

"Heartless. Dark beings who travel the worlds and steal people's hearts. It's pretty lucky I found you guys in time."

"Why didn't you guys fight back?" Sparx asked.

"We couldn't," Spyro replied. "Our powers…we don't have them."

"We must have used them up after battling Malefor," Cynder said.

Matt was stunned. If Spyro and Cynder couldn't use their powers, then how were they going to beat Malchoir?

"How did you even get here?" Spyro asked. "We couldn't even get out."

"This is how," Matt said. He summoned his Keyblade back to his hand. "You can thank the Keyblade for getting Sparx and I here. It's also how we'll get back."

"Wow," Cynder said. "That weapon…I can feel its energy."

"Me too," Spyro added.

Matt then remembered they had to hurry. "My friends and Hunter are waiting for us. We have to get back soon." Malchoir's deadline was almost up.

"I guess everyone's waiting for us," Spyro said. "You ready, Cynder?"

Cynder stood silent for a moment. She had failed. Not once did she and Spyro talk about how they truly felt about each other. Cynder had been too afraid. It would be a lot harder to tell him now.

Still, Cynder was ready to go back and get out of the prison. "Yeah, let's get out of here."

"Alright," Matt readied his Keyblade. He asked the others to grasp on to the Keyblade as well. With their combined energy, Matt was able to reopen the portal that would hopefully take them back.

Suddenly, Spyro and Cynder collapsed.

"That's not good," Sparx said.

"You guys alright?" Matt asked.

"I guess…we're still a little weak from that attack," Spyro said.

"Do you want some help?" Matt asked. "I can carry you."

"You'd do that for us?" Cynder asked. Matt nodded.

"Wow…thank you," Spyro said. "You're a pretty good guy for a human."

Matt grinned. "Ok, climb on." Spyro and Cynder grabbed on to Matt's shoulders and dangled down his back. He grunted in the effort.

"You do know they're both overweight right?" Sparx asked.

"Shut up, Sparx," the three yelled at him.

Matt and the group walked back and stepped through portal. Hang on everyone…we're coming…

What's waiting for these guys? It's going to get more exciting next chapter!

Peace out!
