Story
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
When Riku is captured by the Black Guards, he is sent to the Light Cycle arena where CLU pits him against various other Black Guards in the Light Cycle race. After Riku takes out some of the guards on their cycles, the Commantis appears from above to take out Riku, presumably sent out by CLU. After Riku defeats the Dream Eater on his cycle, it runs away flying into the sky. Riku then blows up a wall and exits through it.
Later when Riku, Sam, Kevin, and Quorra arrive at the Portal, they find CLU waiting for them. He mocks Kevin's false promises of working together to change The Grid and summons the Dream Eater once more to demonstrate "the applications at his disposal." Kevin is alarmed at the Nightmare but Riku calmly walks forward to challenge it. Although Commantis was capable of recharging it's energy with the assistance of CLU's ship, Riku manages to halt it's regeneration and destroys it. Once it is defeated, it derezzes.
