Chapter 7: Liberating Summer Forest
Arthur, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Twilight, Tor, Tod, Amity, and Kirby leave Olympus Coliseum and return to the Gummi ship and somewhere in a different room, Arthur examines the pink heart in Excalibur and remembers the same pink heart from Wonderland and the chaotic Faerie named Confusia, who helped him defeat Cerberus.
"Faerie of Chaos...? That's what it was? Are there more of these heart like things just like in Wonderland?" Arthur asked.
"Arthur?" A voice asked, as Twilight, Tor, Amity, and Kirby arriving.
"You doing okay?" Tor asked.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out what this faerie thing means. That heart from Wonderland show up out of nowhere, flew into Excalibur, and while we were dealing with Cerberus, that weird looking faerie showed up from that heart and helped. What could this mean?" Arthur asked.
"Honestly, I don't know. Maybe we'll figure out more as we continue on." Twilight said.
"I'll admit, that crazy faerie arriving to help was pretty interesting. I've never really seen a faerie like it." Amity said.
"There're plenty of Faeries in Neopia, but I've never heard of a Faerie of Chaos." Tor said.
"Her powers were much like Discord's, but they were no joke." Twilight said.
"Yeah. Well, we should find Sora, Donald, and Goofy." Arthur said and Tod nods.
The six leave the room and find the trio, as they decide what world to go to next.
"Hey, there're two more worlds now and one's close to Wonderland with three stars and now there's one close to Olympus that also has three stars." Sora said.
"Hmm, maybe we should go to that world close to Olympus. It saves us time that way." Arthur said.
"Good idea, Arthur." Goofy said.
"Okay, off we go." Donald said.
The Gummi ship starts flying while shooting down Heartless ships and avoiding space junk and meteors and after five minutes of flying, the ship arrives at a different section of space and later arrive at a new world, which has a sunny forest, a plain with falling leaves, and a tundra with snow all over, as well as three different castles.
"This is new." Arthur asked.
"This is Avalar. It's a world, where many different creatures live and it's also a world among many worlds." Chip said.
"A world among different worlds?" Twilight asked.
"Sounds interesting. Let's go see what we can find." Sora said, as they disembark.
In what looks like a grassy field, there are three figures with a stone like portal with a red crystal.
The first is a female light brown faun wearing an outfit made of leaves.
The second is a male cheetah.
The third is a short mole with white hair and wearing a white lab coat and glasses.
"Is it working, Professor?" The faun asked.
"Hold on... Hold on... I might have a reading." The Professor said.
"Uh, maybe this isn't a good idea... Bringing a dragon here will only make Ripto angrier." The cheetah said, fidgeting.
"Calm down, Hunter and stop fidgeting." The faun said, making Hunter stop.
"But I read the Professor's book. They have claws, razor sharp teeth, and spit fire!" Hunter said, making spit motions, making the faun flinch in disgust. "They sound MUCH worse than Ripto." Hunter said.
"That's the point. Bringing a dragon here is our best chance of stopping Ripto and you know it." The faun said.
Just then, the red crystal starts reacting, making the portal activate.
"I got it! I got it! I found a dragon!" The Professor said.
Coming out of the portal is what looks like a purple dragon with yellow horns, wings, small spikes, and underbelly flying and crashes while landing and with him is a small yellow dragonfly.
"Whew... Rough landing. Hi, which is way is the...beach...?" The purple dragon asked, as the faun and Hunter stare at him. "Hey, stop staring. Haven't you seen a dragon before?" The dragon asked.
"YOU'RE a dragon?" Hunter asked.
"You got a problem with that, pussy cat?" The dragon asked back, making Hunter glare.
Just then, a blast hits the portal, knocking the four to the ground and they see three creatures.
One is a big blue lizard like creature with horns, tiny wings, and carrying a meat like club.
The second is a big green reptillian creature with horns and having a big blaster like weapon on his back.
The third is a small orange reptillian creature with a horn on his forehead and wearing a black cloak with white inner clothes, red jewel amulet around his neck, and carrying a scepter.
"Well, well, well, looks like someone forgot to invite ME to the party!" The orange reptile said and starts sniffing. "Were you trying to keep something from me?" The orange reptile asked and sees the purple dragon. "A dragon?! You brought a DRAGON to Avalar?! I HATE DRAGONS!" The orange reptile shouted.
A fairy flies to the orange reptile and zaps him.
"Ow! Crush, kill it! KILL IT!" The orange reptile commanded, as Crush tries to attack the fairy, who flies off and hits the orange reptile instead.
As the orange reptile falls, his scepter falls and it lands into the green reptile's mouth and eats it.
"Gulp, you imbecile! You ate my scepter!" The orange reptile yelled, as he gets back on Gulp's back. "I'll deal with YOU later!" The orange reptile said, as they leave.
"Who was that jerk?" The dragon asked.
"That was Ripto and you have to get rid of him. He's causing all sorts of trouble in Avalar, but I don't have time to explain. Here's a guidebook to help better understand our worlds. I need to follow Ripto and see what he's up to. Find me in Summer Forest, 'kay?" The faun said, as she and Hunter leave.
"Hey, wait! Ugh, how do we get into these messes, pal?" The dragon asked the dragonfly, who shrugs.
(World of Avalar)
In the same grassy field, Arthur, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Twilight, Tor, Tod, Amity, and Kirby arrive in a field.
"So, we're in a new world now." Arthur said, looking around.
"This place does look peaceful." Goofy said.
"Hey, what happened to me?" Sora asked.
"Huh?" Twilight asked, as they see Arthur, Sora, and Amity in different forms.
Arthur is now what looks like an orange dragon with yellow horns, wings, spikes on his back, and underbelly and is still wearing his red and yellow scarf.
Sora is now what looks like a black dragon with red horns, wings, spikes on his back, and underbelly, and still wearing his crown necklace.
Amity is now what looks like a pink dragon with green horns, wings, spikes on her back, and underbelly.
"Whoa! I'm...a dragon!" Arthur said, looking at himself.
"This is SOOOOOO COOOOOL!" Sora said, looking at himself.
"Agh, so am I!" Amity said, looking at herself.
"I guess that's the result of the magic. You see, when in some certain different worlds, depending on the situation, I'll use my magic to create forms that suit the certain world we're in. Considering the forms you have now, I guess my magic decided what forms for you to take here. It's part of the world order." Donald explained.
"Border?" Sora asked confused.
"I said 'order'!" Donald yelled.
"But how come you guys didn't transform?" Arthur asked.
"Gee, I dunno." Goofy said, scratching his head.
"I guess we don't have transformation effects for this world." Twilight said.
"That kinda makes sense for us." Donald said.
"Well, enough standing around. Let's explore this Avalar place." Sora said.
Arthur, Sora, and Amity start moving, but struggle.
"What's wrong?" Tor asked.
"It's kinda hard to walk on four legs." Arthur said.
"It's okay. Here, lemme help." Twilight said, showing the three how to walk on four legs and Tod does the same.
"That's better. Thanks, Twi." Sora said.
"We'd better get moving." Amity said.
(Glimmer-Field)
(Field Theme: Glimmer)
The group begin moving through the field and while looking around, they find what looks like a mammal wearing a yellow hardhat with a light.
"Oh, hello! Welcome to Glimmer, home of the Gemcutters!" The Gemcutter greeted.
"Glimmer?" Sora asked.
"Um, you haven't seen any Heartless around, have you?" Twilight asked.
"Gee, I dunno what they are, but there have been weird monsters roaming around and they've been stealing our gems!" The Gemcutter said.
"They could be Heartless." Amity said.
"But why would they want gem? I thought they're after hearts." Goofy said.
"Dunno, but we'll use that as a lead." Arthur said and Tod nods.
(Information: Explore Glimmer for Heartless!)
The group begin moving through Glimmer, but as they keep moving, Red Nocturnes, Blue Rhpasodies, and Yellow Operas appear.
"Heartless!" Arthur said.
"Let's get started." Sora said.
(Battle Theme: Dragon Rush)
(Information: Defeat the Heartless!)
The Red Nocturnes shoot fireballs while the Blue Rhapsodies shoot ice shards while Yellow Operas unleash lightning bolts, but Arthur slashes with Excalibur in his mouth followed by a roundhouse slash while Sora aerial slashes with his Keyblade, but the Yellow Operas deliver lightning surging attacks, only for Twilight to use Telekinesis to suspend them in the air, allowing Donald to cast Blizzard while Amity unleashes pink fireballs. The Red Nocturnes and Blue Rhapsodies surround the group and unleash fire and ice to attack, but both Goofy and Tor block with their shields and Goofy uses Charge while Tor triple slashes with his sword followed by a shield bash, but the Blue Rhapsodies fire ice shards at the group. Kirby inhales the ice shards, becoming Ice Kirby and unleashes ice attacks at the Red Nocturnes and Yellow Operas while Tod attacks the Blue Rhapsodies with his stick while Arthur and Sora finish them off and defeat the Heartless and gems fall to the ground.
"These must be the gems they stole." Arthur said.
"Guess if we find more Heartless to take down, we can take back the gems they stole." Sora said.
"Let's look around and see what we can find." Donald said.
Just then, Kirby and Tod see someone going for a cave and it's the purple dragon and the yellow dragonfly.
"Poyo!" Kirby said, pointing at something.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked, as Tod points at the purple dragon.
"Hey, a dragon!" Tor said.
"Is it a Heartless?" Donald asked.
"Doesn't look like one." Twilight said.
"Let's follow it." Arthur said and they nod, as they go for the caves.
(Glimmer-Gem Caves)
(Information: Follow the purple dragon!)
The group enter the cave full of gems, as well as other Gemcutters mining for gems to follow the dragon, who is going for a bridge, which is inactive and the dragon comes across a bear wearing a black suit and monocile while carrying a bag of gems.
"Who're you supposed to be?" The dragon asked.
"I'm called Moneybags and you must be the dragon everyone's talking about. Well, dragon or not, you'll have to pay to cross this bridge." Moneybags said.
"How much?" The dragon asked.
"It'll cost you 200 gems." Moneybags said.
"Fine." The dragon said, paying 200 gems.
"Thank you, er, Spyro was it? You may now cross this bridge any time you wish. I look forward seeing you again." Moneybags said, activating the bridge.
"C'mon." Sora said, as they head for the bridge.
"And what is your hurry, might I ask?" Moneybags asked.
"We're following that dragon! Now move it!" Amity said.
"Well, if you want to cross the bridge..." Moneybags was cut off, as Twilight uses her magic to lift the bear and throws him into the lower levels of the cave.
"Sorry, but we don't have time for you." Twilight said, as they cross the bridge.
"Ugh, such rudeness! They could be even worse than Ritpo!" Moneybags said.
The group continue to follow the dragon, but as they reach outside, they find Soldier Heartless surrounding the dragon.
"Hey, outta the way!" The dragon said.
"More Heartless!" Sora said, as they confront the Heartless.
"You should get outta here." Donald said.
"No way! I'm not gonna run with my tail between my legs!" The dragon said.
"If he wants to help, let him." Tor said.
(Information: Team up with the purple dragon and defeat the Heartless!)
The Soldiers deliver spin kicks to attack, but Tor uses Parry and delivers a counterattack with his sword while Donald casts Thunder while Kirby inhales a Soldier, becoming Soldier Kirby and delivers claw attacks, only for the Soldiers to deliver leaping attacks to get the group, but the dragon breathes fire, burning them while Goofy uses Tornado while Twilight fires three magic from her tome followed by casting Frost. A Soldier tries to attack with its claws, only for Amity to summon her Abomination to deliver a hammer fist attack followed by creating an axe and delivers a slamming attack, but more Soldiers try to attack the group, only for the dragon to deliver a charging horn attack while Sora delivers three slashes with his Keyblade followed by a leaping slash while Arthur vertical slashes with Excalibur followed by casting Blaze and destroy all the Heartless while more gems fall out.
"Look, more gems." Donald said.
"Hey, you guys are good! Have you done this before?" The dragon asked.
"Uh, kinda, but we're used to it." Arthur said.
"So, I guess you're not a Heartless since you helped out." Twilight said.
"Heartless? That's what they're called? I'm not one of those losers. Name's Spyro and this is Sparx." Spyro introduced himself and Sparx.
"It's nice to meet you, Spyro. I'm Arthur and this is Tod." Arthur introduced himself and Tod.
"And I'm Sora. These're Donald, Goofy, Twilight, Tor, Amity, and Kirby." Sora introduced.
"Do you have any idea what's going on?" Arthur asked.
"Got me. I just wanted to go to Dragon Shores for vacation, but I ended up here and now I gotta deal with this Ripto jerk." Spyro said.
"Ripto?" Goofy asked.
"Who's that?" Amity asked.
"Thank you all!" A voice said and they see a Gemcutter. "You got rid of those awful creatures! They've been stealing our gems. Here, take this as a reward." The Gemcutter said, giving what looks like a shiny object that looks like a pickaxe.
"Uh, thanks." Spyro said.
"What is that?" Twilight asked.
"This is our prized Talisman. Hold onto it. It can help you." The Gemcutter said.
"Um, okay." Amity said.
"By the way, Elora's waiting for you in Summer Forest, Spyro. There's a portal to take you there." The Gemcutter said, showing a portal.
"Thanks." Spyro said, going for the portal.
"You think there could be more Heartless in Summer Forest?" Arthur asked.
"Never hurts to check." Sora said, as they go for the portal and leave Glimmer.
In a forest, the faun from before sees the three same reptiles going for a castle and they take it over, as banners having the image of the same orange reptile hang on the castle walls.
"Oh, no..." The faun said.
Just then, Spyro appears from the portal.
"Oh, hello. We never got a chance to introduce. My name is Elora." Elora introduced.
"Hi, Elora. I'm Spyro. So, what're you? Some kind of goat?" Spyro asked.
"I'm a faun, you dork." Elora said.
"Oh, sorry." Spyro said.
Just then, the group arrive as well.
"Huh? Three more dragons? Who are you?" Elora asked.
"Hey, you followed me here." Spyro said.
"Um, hi. My name's Arthur. You can call me Artie." Arthur introduced.
"Hiya! I'm Sora!" Sora introduced.
"Donald Duck." Donald introduced.
"Name's Goofy." Goofy introduced, waving.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight introduced.
"I'm Sir Tor." Tor introduced.
"Amity Blight." Amity introduced.
"And these're Tod and Kirby." Arthur introduced the two.
"Hi!" Kirby said, waving his stubby arms.
"It's nice to meet you all. I'm Elora. Spyro, did you talk to the Gemcutters?" Elora asked.
"Yeah, they gave me a talisman." Spyro said.
"They actually gave you a Talisman?" Elora asked.
"Is it special?" Goofy asked.
"There're many Talismans in different worlds of Avalar and they're very magical. I think if we have enough, we can finally get rid of Ripto." Elora said.
"Who's Ripto?" Sora asked.
"He's the on responsible for all the trouble in Avalar." Elora said and just then, Hunter arrives. "Hunter, where have you been?" Elora asked, placing a hand on her hip.
"I...got a little...lost." Hunter said.
"Spyro's gonna help us defeat Ripto." Elora said.
"I am?" Spyro asked.
"He is?" Hunter asked.
"Spyro, you won't be able to go to Dragon Shores until Ripto is defeated. If you go to different worlds and help some of the locals, I'm sure they'll give you a Talisman." Elora said.
"I can get the Talismans. Why can't the dragon just TORCH Ripto?" Hunter asked.
"Hunter, you can't even keep track your own running shoes." Elora said.
"Um, can I say something?" Arthur asked.
"What? Now we got THREE dragons? Where'd they come from?" Hunter asked.
"Have you seen any more Heartless around?" Amity asked, ignoring Hunter.
"Heartless, I don't know what they are, but ever since Ripto came to Avalar, there have been awful monsters going to different worlds and causing trouble for Avalar." Elora said.
"They could be Heartless." Tor said.
"Let's see if we can lend a hand...or claw." Sora said.
"No!" Donald said.
"Yes!" Twilight argued.
"Listen, Duck! We're helping these people and if you have a problem, you can answer to me, got it?!" Amity demanded.
"Awww, phooey..." Donald said.
"So, you're gonna help?" Spyro asked.
"Yes. We'll go with you to find more of these Talismans, fight off more Heartless, and stop this Ripto." Arthur said and Tod nods.
"Thank you. If you do this, Avalar will be in your debt." Elora said.
(Summer Forest)
(Field Theme: Summer Forest)
(Information: Find portals to different worlds!)
The group begin moving through Summer Forest and they reach the next part of the forest, where there is a big lake and they find other portals.
"Guess these must be the portals to different worlds." Twilight said.
"Elora did say Heartless are causing trouble." Sora said.
"C'mon, let's go." Spyro said.
"But where do we even start?" Arthur asked.
Kirby finds a portal that says 'Colossus'.
"Poyo!" Kirby said, pointing at the portal.
"Okay, guess we'll try that world." Tor said, as they go for the portal.
(Colossus-Temple Grounds)
(Field Theme: Colossus)
The group arrive at an alp with many fields and trees and they see a giant temple.
"Whoa, this place looks amazing." Tor said.
"If the Heartless are here, then we'd better be careful." Goofy said.
"And we should keep an eye out for one of those Talismans Elora mentioned." Amity said.
(Information: Explore Colossus for Heartless!)
The group begin moving through the temple grounds, but they find a yellow humanoid monk being attacked by Heartless that look like dragons.
"Heartless and they're attacking that guy." Donald said.
"C'mon." Sora said.
The group confront the Dragons, who shoot fireballs, but Sora attacks with his Keyblade followed by casting Blizzard while Arthur delivers three slashes with Excalibur followed by a spinning slash, but the Dragons retaliate with swiping their claws and biting their teeth, only for Spyro to breathe fire while Donald casts Thunder and then casts Blizzard while Amity summons an Abomination fist that delivers an uppercut. The Dragons fly into the air and shoot fireballs from above, only for Tor to use Sky Dance and slashes in the air with his sword while Goofy uses Rocket while Kirby throws his hammer, but the Dragons breathe fire to try and burn them, but Twilight casts a barrier to protect the group and then casts Frost while Tod delivers a tail swipe. The Dragons attack with their claws followed by breathing more fire, but Arthur delivers four slashes with Excalibur followed by casting Volt and unleashes three lightning orbs to send to attack while Sora vertical slashes with his Keyblade followed by a leaping slash and then casts Thunder and they defeat the Heartless.
"Thank you. Those awful things have invaded our peaceful home. They're after our beloved temple." The Monk said.
"Don't worry, sir. We'll stop them." Arthur said.
"Here, I shall open the way for you." The Monk said, as he chants, making a door open.
The group continue to move through the temple grounds and later, they find a way into the temple and go into it.
(Colossus-Temple)
The group enter the temple, where they find more Heartless, which are more Dragons attacking more Monks, but Spyro horn charges and the Heartless while Twilight unleashes magic blasts and then casts Volt, but the Dragons swipe their claws, only for Kirby to swing his hammer while Goofy bashes with his shield, but the Dragons use their wings to fly into the air and shoot fireballs from above. Amity uses her Abomination to grab the Heartless and crush them while Donald casts Thunder, but the Dragons shoot more fireballs, only for Tor to block with his shield and then aerial slashes with his sword while Tod unleashes a growling attack, but the Dragons bite with their teeth, only for Sora to aerial slash with his Keyblade followed by an aerial drilling slash while Arthur casts Frost and they defeat the Heartless.
The Monks use their chanting spell to raise platforms for the group, who continue moving through the temple and reach for the upper part of the temple and later head back outside, where they find Air Soldiers, but Sora and Arthur defeat them and continue and later arrive at the next part of the temple, where they find more Monks being attacked by the Heartless, only for the group to defeat them and they later reach the main part of the temple, where they find another Monk.
"Thank you. Those monsters won't be attacking our peaceful way of life again. Here, take this Talisman. It might help you." The Monk said, giving the group Colossus' Talisman.
"I guess that's all the Heartless around here." Sora said.
"We should check the other worlds. Let's see if we can find more portals." Twilight said and they nod.
The group go for the portal and return to Summer Forest.
After returning to Summer Forest, the group find another portal that says 'Idol Springs' and they decide to go for its portal next.
(Idol Springs-Lakeside)
(Field Theme: Idol Springs)
The group are now in what looks like a spring with flowing water and a temple like structure.
"Wow, another beautiful world." Arthur said.
"Hey, look!" Spyro said, as he sees more Heartless, which appear to be tikis attacking a green humanoid worker.
"Of course they're here!" Sora said.
"Let's clear them out!" Twilight said.
The Heartless known as Wicked Tikis conjure spears and throw them at the group, who dodge and Spyro breathes fire while Twilight casts Blaze followed by casting Volt while Goofy uses Charge, but the Wicked Tikis conjure torches and send them to burn the group, only for Tor to triple slash with his sword followed by a bash with his shield while Donald casts Blizzard, but the Wicked Tikis conjure more spears to attack the group. Amity fires three pink fireballs while Kirby uses Hammer Somersault, only for the Wicked Tikis to create more torches and try to burn the group, but Tod uses Bite while Arthur double vertical slashes with Excalibur followed by casting Blaze while Sora delivers three slashes with his Keyblade followed by a spinning attack and they defeat the Heartless.
"Oh, thank you! More of those things are attacking our temple home! Please help us!" The Worker said.
"Don't worry. Leave it to us, sir." Arthur said and they nod.
(Information: Explore Idol Springs for more Heartless!)
The group continue through the springs and they later go for the temple structure.

The group continue to move through the temple structure while clearing out more Heartless and later, they reach near the end of the structure and they find another Worker.
"Good work, everyone! Thank you for saving our structure! Here, Spyro, take this Talisman." The Worker said, giving the group Idol Springs' Talisman.
"Thanks. Well, we're pretty much done here. Let's get going." Sora said, as they head for the portal to return to Summer Forest.
The group return to Summer Forest and they begin searching for more portals, but there are no more on the surface.
"Are there any more portals?" Arthur asked.
"Maybe we should continue lookin' around." Goofy suggested.
"But how? Everything's underwater." Amity said.
"Yeah and I'm not a very good swimmer." Spyro said.
"Don't worry. Thankfully, I've studied a spell that'll allow us to swim effortlessly." Twilight said.
"Yeah and my magic can help too." Donald said.
Twilight and Donald use their magic on the group and themselves.
"Okay, let's go swimming." Twilight said, as they go underwater.
The group begin swimming underwater and they find a tunnel and use it to keep swimming and later, they arrive at a different area.
(Summer Forest-Castle Courtyard)
The group leave underwater and are now in a courtyard of the castle and they find more portals.
"What do you know, more portals." Sora said.
"But where to go next?" Goofy asked.
Tod looks around and finds a portal that says 'Hurricos' and points at it.
"Maybe this one?" Spyro asked.
"Let's do it." Arthur said, as they go for the portal, taking them to a different world.
(Hurricos-Outer Facility)
(Field Theme: Hurricos)
The group arrive at a field, where the sky is dark and raining and there is a big facility with electricity.
"Gawrsh, this place is kinda gloomy." Goofy said.
"No doubt the Heartless are here too. Keep a look out." Twilight said and they nod.
(Information: Explore Hurricos for any Heartless!)
The group begin moving through Hurricos, but then, they see Yellow Operas attacking what looks like a blue creature wearing goggles.

"Thank you. Those creatures came out of nowhere and have shut down our facility. Please, you have to stop them so we can power Hurricos again." The Electrician said.
"Leave it to us." Spyro said and they nod.
The group being moving through Hurricos to get to the facility and using the field's machinery, they manage to get into the facility.
(Hurricos-Facility)
The group enter Hurricos' facility, where they find more Heartless that look like snakes covered with electricity known as Volt Vipers and so, the group confront them, as Arthur casts Frost while Spyro breathes fire, only for the Volt Vipers to slither around while leaving behind electric energy and unleash streams of electricity at the group, only for Kirby to inhale the electricity, becoming Plasma Kirby and unleashes electricity while Twilight unleashes magic blasts and then casts Blaze. The Volt Vipers slither around and deliver electric bite attacks, but Goofy bashes with his shield while Amity summons an Abomination fist to deliver an uppercut, only for the Volt Vipers to deliver electric whip attacks, but Tor uses Parry and delivers a counterstrike while Donald casts Fire. The Volt Vipers keep slithering around while unleashing more electricity, but Tod uses Bite while Sora delivers three attacks with his Keyblade followed by a diagonal slash while Arthur double horizontal slashes with Excalibur followed by a vertical slash and they defeat the Heartless.
The group explore the facility to find more Heartless and Tod later finds what looks like a switch and presses it, making fans start spinning slowly and so by using the facility's ledges and machinery, the group get on the fans and use them to get across and later, they make it to the next part of the facility, where they find more Volt Vipers attacking the Electricians, so Arthur and Sora confront and defeat the Heartless, saving more of the Electricians.

"Thank you. Let's get a move on." Arthur said, as they use the portal to leave Hurricos.
The group later return to Summer Forest.
"Well, we got four Talismans so far. We just need a few more before frying Ripto." Spyro said.
"What're we waiting for? Let's get moving." Donald said.
The group continue moving through the castle grounds and they find more portals and they find a switch that opens a door, showing a different courtyard and they find a portal that says 'Aquaria Towers', so they decide to go to that portal next.
(Aquaria Towers-Level 1)
(Field Theme: Aquaria Towers)
The group are now in what looks like a metallic tower, where they find seahorses sad and dehydrated.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Oh, it's awful! Those monsters have drained our beloved water tower and now we're all dry of dehydration!" The Seahorse said.
"Looks like we'll have to find a way to bring the water back." Twilight said.
(Information: Explore Aquaria Towers for Heartless!)
The group begin searching the towers and Kirby finds what looks like a switch and presses it, making water filling up the tower's level and they're now underwater and begin swimming, but they find Sea Neons and Sheltering Zones appearing and attacking, but Arthur triple slashes with Excalibur followed by a somersault slash while Sora vertical slashes with his Keyblade and then casts Thunder. The Sheltering Zones attack with their tentacles, only for Twilight to fire magic shots and then shoots her magenta flame while Goofy uses Tornado, but the Sheltering Zones split into Sea Neons and deliver spinning attacks with their tentacles, but Donald casts Blizzard while Kirby spin attacks with his hammer, only for Sea Neons to spin their tentacles to attack. Spyro breathes fire while Amity shoots pink fireballs while Tor horizontal slashes with his sword while Tod attacks with his stick and they defeat the Heartless and continue swimming through the water towers and later reach the next level.
(Aquaria Towers-Level 2)
The group reach the second level of the tower, where they find more Seahorses being attacked by Screwdivers, so Arthur and Sora attack the Heartless and defeat them and they find another switch and press it, making more water fill the second level. As the group keep swimming through the towers while fighting off more Heartless, they arrive at a tunnel, where they find what looks like robotic sharks.
"What are those? Sharks?" Sora asked.
"They could be trouble." Spyro said.
"Leave that to me." Twilight said, conjuring a barrier around everyone.
They swim in Twilight's barrier to get past the robotic sharks, as they try to attack, but the barrier protects them and they later reach the end of the tunnel.
"Thanks, Twilight." Arthur said.
"Let's keep going." Amity said, as they go for the next floor.
(Aquaria Towers-Level 3)
The group reach the third floor of the tower, where they find Screwdivers, as well as Aqua Tanks and the Scewdivers attack with their spears while the Aqua Tanks deliver charging attack at the group, only for Sora to retaliate with three slashes with his Keyblade followed by a spinning slash while Spyro delivers a horn charge to attack, but the Screwdivers keep attacking with their spears while the Aqua Tanks unleash lightning from their rods.

The group keep swimming through the water towers and later, they find another switch and press it to make more water fill the tower and they find another Seahorse.
"Thank you all! Now we can enjoy the waters once more! Take this Talisman as our gratitude." The Seahorse said, giving thr group Aquaria Towers' Talisman.
"Thank you." Arthur said.
"Looks like we're done here. Let's go." Spyro said, as they swim for the portal.
The group return to Summer Forest and they later find another portal that says 'Sunny Beach' and they decide to go for the portal.
(Sunny Beach-Beach Entrance)
(Field Theme: Sunny Beach)
The group arrive at what looks like a beach full of water and turtles and they find baby turtles being attackec by Large Bodies.
"Hey, they're hurting those poor babies." Twilight said.
"Oh, no they're not!" Amity said.
The Large Bodies slam their fists on the ground, creating shock waves, but Twilight uses her magic to lift them, allowing Arthur to aerial slash with Excalibur while Sora also aerial slashes with his Keyblade, but the Large Bodies deliver two punches at the group, only for Goofy and Tor to block with their shields and Goofy uses Charge while Tor uses Sword Thrust while Spyro breathes fire, but the Large Bodies get angry and begin charging at the group. Kirby inhales a Large Body, becoming Large Body Kirby and slams his fists on the ground, creating shock waves while Amity uses her Abomination to deliver a hammer fist attack followed by creating an axe and slams it while Donald casts Thunder while Tod growls and they defeat the Heartless.
"We gotta get these turtles to safety. It's not safe for them." Sora said.
"Yeah." Spyro said.
(Information: Explore Sunny Beach for any Heartless!)
Kirby and Tod find a switch and they press it, making a gate open, allowing the group to access to the next part of the beach.
(Sunny Beach-Shoreline)
The group escort the baby turtles through the shoreline, but see Soldiers, as well as Heartless that look like turtles known as Shell Crushers and the Soldiers deliver spin kicks while the Shell Crushers deliver spinning shell attacks, but Arthur and Sora attack the Heartless and manage to defeat them and the group continue through the beach, where they find another switch and use it to open another gate, leading to a pool of water. The group take the baby turtles to the pool and they start swimming across the pool's tunnel until they reach the surface again and they find another gate and open it, taking them to the next part of the beach.
(Sunny Beach-Turtle Oasis)
The group continue escorting the baby turtles, as they reach an oasis full of other turtles, but they see Red Nocturnes and Yellow Operas attacking with their respective elements, only for Arthur and Sora to fight them off and defeat them and keep escorting the turtles. They later reach the end of the oasis, as the baby turtles go into the oasis' water and start swimming.
"I bet those turtles are happy and safe now." Goofy said, as they see an older turtle.
"You have brought our babies to the oasis. Thank you. For that, take this Talisman as a reward." The Elder Turtle said, giving the group Sunny Beach's Talisman.
"Well, we're done here. C'mon." Spyro said, as they go for the portal and leave Sunny Beach.
The group return to Summer Forest.
"Six Talismans. You think it's enough?" Sora asked.
"Great job, guys! You got six Talismans. Now you should be able to challenge Ripto in the castle." Elora said.
"That's great!" Arthur said.
"But be careful. He has his minions with him." Elora said.
"We can torch them no problem." Spyro said.
"They're already at the castle throne room. Good luck." Elora said.
The group head for the inside of the castle and they find a giant door, which opens and the group go through the doors for the next area.
(Summer Forest-Castle Throne Room)
The group enter the throne room, where they find the orange reptile and Crush and Gulp are with him.
"So, you're Ripto, I take it?" Twilight asked.
"You're pretty short for a villain." Tor said.
"Why you...! HOW is it that there are THREE dragons in Avalar?!" Ripto asked in anger.
"These four dragons are gonna kick you outta here!" Spyro said.
"Bah! I don't have time for you! Crush, kill them! KILL THEM!" Ripto commanded, as Crush jumps down to confront the group.
"He's really big..." Arthur said.
"But not too smart." Amity said.
"Ready when you guys are." Sora said.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil)

Crush slams his club at the group, who dodge out of the way, but the club's slam unleashes shock waves on the ground, but Arthur aerial slashes at Crush with Excalibur followed by casting Frost while Sora also aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by an aerial spin slash, only for Crush to swipe his club to get the two boys away and then slams his club again, but Spyro breathes fire at his tail, making run around the room with his tail on fire. Crush jumps in the air and delivers a landing strike with his club while unleashing a shock wave, but the group avoid the shock wave and Twilight shoots magic orbs from her tome and then unleashes magenta lightning while Donald casts Fire followed by casting Thunder, but Crush bashes his club three times and then slams his fists on the ground to cursh the group. Amity uses her Abomination to deliver a shoulder tackle attack followed by a giant stretching punch while Goofy uses Tornado while Tod uses his skullbash attack, only for Crush to retaliate with slamming his club on the ground and unleashing more shock waves, but the group dodge, only for Crush to spin attack with his club all around the room. The group avoid the spinning club and after enough spinning, Crush gets dizzy, allowing Tor to triple slash with his sword followed by a shield bash while Kirby multi punches followed by a big swing with his hammer, but Crush recovers from his dizziness and slams his club once more, causing a quake and rocks begin falling on the ground.
"Look out!" Sora called.
The group dodge the falling rocks, as some land on the ground and Crush picks up one of the rocks and throws it at the group, who avoid the throwing rock and Kirby inhales a rock and spits it out at Crush, stunning him, allowing Goofy to use Charge, but Crush slams his club on the ground and unleashes more shock waves, only for the group to dodge, as Twilight flies around and casts Blaze followed by using her magic to lift a rock and throws it at Crush, stunning him. Amity shoots three pink fireballs at Crush, who recovers and delivers another giant slam on the ground to make another quake, causing more rocks to fall, but the group dodge the falling rocks, as Crush jumps after the group and slams his club and delivers another spinning club attack. While Crush is spinning, Spyro delivers his horn charge attack at a rock, sending it to attack Crush, making him dizzy, allowing Donald to cast Blizzard followed by casting Fire while Tor uses Sword Spin, but Crush recovers and picks up another rock and throws it at the group, who dodge the rock, but Crush continues to slam his club on the ground to make more shock waves and more falling rocks. Arthur aerial slashes at Crush with Excalibur followed by an aerial vertical slash while Tod delivers a tail swipe while Sora horizontal slashes with his Keyblade and then casts Thunder, only for Crush to swipe his club to get them away and spin attacks with his club all over the throne room.

Crush stumbles back, but slams his club on the ground while having a tantrum, making more rocks fall and they land on Crush, who is now trapped in a pile of rocks and after the fight, Sora learns Earth while Arthur learns Quake.
"So much for Crush! He didn't stand a chance!" Spyro said.
"Argh! I can't believe you managed to defeat that simpleton! Mark my words, Gulp won't be easy to handle!" Ripto said.
"What? Can't fight us yourself?" Twilight asked.
The group confront Ripto, but Gulp arrives.
"Gulp, get me out of here!" Ripto ordered, getting on Gulp. "So long, fools!" Ripto said, as they leave.
"What a coward." Donald said.
Just then, Ripto's banners are gone from the castle and Elora arrives at the throne room.
"You guys did it! You drove Ripto out of Summer Forest." Elora said.
"But he got away." Arthur said.
"Yes, he's most likely headed for Autumn Plains. We have to get there as soon as possible." Elora said.
"Okay, lead the way, Elora." Sora said, as they leave the castle of Summer Forest.
Here's Chapter 7 and yes, I decided to actually put this world before Deep Jungle this around because why not. One part down, two more to go before moving on again. That's all. Chapter 8 is coming. See ya later and have a good day.
