The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Spyro:
[about Cynder] But if we come from the same place, why is she so, so...

Sparx:
Evil? Monstrous? Big? Sexy? Oops, did I just say that?

Ignitus:
In the Year of the Dragon, in a world beyond realms... I, like all the others, awaited the birth of the dragon of whom the prophecies foretold. But the Dark Master heard the prophecies as well. I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I... I thought we were ready. I thought they were safe... oh... how I was wrong.

Sparx:
Get me out of here, Spyro. I think my wings are singed...

Spyro:
[breaks the trap open] You okay?

Sparx:
You almost torched me, dude. Wait... you breathed fire!

Sparx:
[after hearing Ignitus' story] Wow... sounds... fun. I wanna hang out with this guy.

Spyro:
Yeah, why have you given up? I just find out that I'm this special dragon, and you tell me all is lost? That I have no home or family left? I've come way too far to give up now. I wanna see where I come from.

Sparx:
Hold up, savior boy, were you not listening to this guy? He's talking about flying dragons, and war, and horrible... this is bad stuff, alright? I don't know if we're hearing the same thing...

Ignitus:
Yes, Spyro. It's not as simple as that. It's true, the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon destined to his stamp on this age, but the prophecies didn't foretell the devastation that surrounds us now.

Spyro:
Maybe you're right, but I'm willing to try. I want to take the first step.

Sparx:
You're actually going to go along with this lunatic?

Ignitus:
Very well then. We'll go. You deserve to see your beginning before it all ends.

Sparx:
Am I the only one sane here? He's telling us we're doomed alright? That's when I go, "ah, maybe we should, you know, go back to the forest with the flowers and the fun stuff".

Ignitus:
This was once your home, Spyro. Together we can make it our home once again... reclaim what's rightfully ours.

Spyro:
What do you mean?

Ignitus:
I mean that my time for heroics are past... but with your help, we might be able to beat Cynder.

Spyro:
I... I can't, Ignitus. I just learned what I am.

Ignitus:
You can, Spyro. You can. You are a purple dragon... a very special creature. You've given me hope again. Now it's time to give hope to all of them.

Spyro:
I'm not sure what help I can be, Ignitus, but I'll try... I'll try.

Ignitus:
Good. That's all I can ask. Now come with me, I have something for you.

Sparx:
Are you kidding? He's flying! Welcome to the club, big guy!

Spyro:
Would that be the annoying pest club?

Sparx:
No, smart aleck, the flying club.

Sparx:
[after Spyro crashes] Nice landing, ace!

Spyro:
Yeah, maybe this flying thing ain't for me.

Sparx:
Well, it sure doesn't help that you're carrying all that weight. You know, throw a salad in once in awhile. You might be okay.

Volteer:
It borders on the miraculous, incredible, stupendous... a dragon your size defeating that... that... thing. Thank you... ah... ah... ah...

Spyro:
Spyro.

Volteer:
A purple dragon named Spyro. Amazing. Of course, there were unsubstantiated rumours of a purple dragon countless generations ago, but most considered it heresay, gossip, legend. It's hard to believe, difficult to fathom, amazing to comprehend... er... um...

Sparx:
[whispering to Spyro] No wonder they gagged this guy.

Ignitus:
Spyro... Cyril, the Ice Guardian, was taken to Tall Plains. You and Sparx must go there at once and find him.

Spyro:
Yes sir.

Sparx:
But if we see danger we should run... right?

Ignitus:
There are times when all of us need to stand up to danger, young Sparx.

Sparx:
Yeah, maybe next month, next summer, perhaps next year...

Ignitus:
Just go... now!

Terrador:
The purple dragon lives!

Sparx:
He's got a name, you know.

Spyro:
Yes, my name is Spyro... and you must be Terrador.

Terrador:
Yes, yes I am, and I must say I never thought I'd live to meet you, Spyro.

Sparx:
Look, I'd love to sit here and hug everyone and chit chat, but how 'bout we leave before the volcano blows us up?

Terrador:
You're right. I've got to tell the others what Cynder is up to.

Sparx:
Let's go. I'm right behind you. Actually, I'm right in front of you.

Spyro:
We've got to find them... help Ignitus!

Sparx:
They're gone, Spyro. There's nothing we can do!

Spyro:
I don't care... Ignitus wouldn't leave me.

Terrador:
Spyro, he's right.

Sparx:
I'm right? Oh my god, that's a first.

Spyro:
It's my fault... I failed Ignitus when he needed me most. It's just that the sight of Cynder so close, just... just...

Sparx:
...Made your heart stop? Put ice in your veins? Scared the crud out of you?

Sparx:
Next time I say that I want to face Cynder, why don't you go ahead and punch me in the mouth.

Spyro:
No problem.

Ignitus:
If the Dark Master escapes, a shadow will fall over the land, and who knows what will happen then. May the ancestors look after you. May they look after all of us.

Cynder:
[arriving at the portal] My master returns.

Spyro:
We're too late!

Cynder:
Hmph! Persistent little fella, aren't you? This is where it really ends!

Spyro:
Bring it!

Cynder:
No mercy this time.

Sparx:
...I can't watch this.

Ignitus:
Now, it's time to unleash the true dragon within you.

[looking at the Pool of Visions]

Sparx:
So what's with the pool, big guy?

Ignitus:
If you must know, certain dragons have the ability to see visions... the thoughts, memories, and dreams of others... and to see what's happening in places far, far away. I am one such dragon, and in this pool the visions come forth.

Sparx:
Oh really, is that so? Okay what am I thinking now?... What am I thinking now? Okay, now? Now? Now, now, now, now, now?

Ignitus:
I'm afraid it's not that easy, Sparx. It takes time, reflection, and patience.

Ignitus:
Feeling better, Spyro?

Spyro:
No really, Ignitus. That battle drained every last bit of my strength. I can hardly lift my head.

Ignitus:
Yes, it will take some time for your powers to return. But they will in time, young dragon. They will in time. Cynder, ever since I failed the night of the raid, I've dreamt of this day.

Volteer:
It wasn't just you, Ignitus. We all failed.

Ignitus:
Be that as it may... we're together again now... thanks to Spyro. Well done, young dragon.

Spyro:
Thanks, Ignitus, but we still don't know what's happened to the Dark Master...

Terrador:
No matter, Spyro. There will be time to talk of the Dark Master later. Now it's time to be grateful for your success.

Sparx:
His success? What about me? Just because a bunch of weird stuff doesn't fly out of my mouth, doesn't mean I didn't help, ya know!

Spyro:
Yeah, you were a big help, Sparx. No doubt about it. But... just for the record... a lot of weird stuff does come out of that little mouth of yours.

Sparx:
And what the heck is that supposed to mean? You know, I don't need this. I could have stayed with the... Llama people, whatever, where I was appreciated, but no! No. I decided to help the poor helpless dragons rid the world of evil. What a mistake that was becaue I get no thanks, no respect, no love, no credit...

Ignitus:
My goodness... and I thought Volteer talked a lot.

Sparx:
I left home too, you know. I'm a little guy. yeah, that's right. Maybe you haven't noticed, but things are a lot bigger to me than they are to you. And did I back away? Uh-ah! Nah, nah, nah! Why? Because I've got moxy, I'm a tough cookie, I've got class... I got a fro... [cough] I got a little frog in my throat... As I was saying, on Tall Plains they knew a good thing when they saw it, they recognized the value of a quality dragonfly like me... but here I get nothing... not even a thanks, hey, how are you doing, good, let me buy you a drink. I should go back to the swamp... Mom'll make it all good... Mommy always does...

[looking up into the night sky]

Cynder:
See anything, Spyro?

Spyro:
No, But I've got a bad feeling.

Cynder:
Me too.

Sparx:
I bet you can't ring that bell.

Spyro:
Why would I want to?

Sparx:
Oh, you're scared!

Spyro:
I'm not scared.

Sparx:
Oh, the big special dragon is scared of the mean old bell. Oh, I didn't know, I'm sorry, oh no, I'm sorry baby, why don't I get your pillow all laid out.

[Spyro rings the bell, causing it to collaps on top of him]

Sparx:
SPYRO! Can you hear me? Are you okay, buddy? Hey listen, forget about those cracks I made about your fatness and your... being purple and stupid and fat, all right? Just get out of there! Please, Spyro, don't be dead!

[the bell breaks open revealing Spyro is perfectly fine]

Spyro:
Did you say something?

Sparx:
Me? No, no, I was talking out loud, thinking of my day, I gotta do...

Spyro:
Oh, just thought I heard soemthing before I blasted my way out.

Sparx:
Oh, that's funny. Yeah, no, must be hearing things.

[the Dark Master's influence is removed from Cynder, revealing her true form]

Spyro:
She is just like me.

Sparx:
Dude, we got to get out of here, NOW!

Spyro:
I can't leave her behind... I've got to save her!

Sparx:
What? Save the beast that's been trying to kill us?

Spyro:
That wasn't her fault... she was being used by the Dark Master!

Cyril:
Yes, yes, Volteer. I see that months of tortured captivity has down nothing to slow that electric tongue of yours from incessantly wagging.

Volteer:
It's just that it's all so exciting, exhilarating, enchanting, enthralling...

Sparx:
All right, no more thesaurus for you, pal.

Ignitus:
All of you PLEASE be quiet!
