Ignitus: But the Dark Master heard the prophecies as well. Ignitus: I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I... I thought we were ready, I thought they were safe... Ignitus: oh... how I was wrong. Volteer: Save them! The Dark Armies have come! Ignitus: May the Ancestors look after you. May they look after us all. Titles: Sierra Presents Titles: A Krome Studios Production Titles: starring Elijah Wood Titles: David Spade Titles: and Gary Oldman as Ignitus Ignitus: Eventually, the egg came to rest in a distant swamp, Ignitus: where a family of dragonflies gathered 'round, Ignitus: wondering what magnificent creature could possibly live inside. Ignitus: They didn't have to wonder for long. o------------------------o | | [020100]~-|~-~-~-~-~[SWAMP]-~-~-~-~|-~[020100] | | o------------------------o Ignitus: What emerged from the egg frightened them at first, but finally amazed and astonished them. Spyro: ... eight, nine, ten... here I come! Ignitus: It was a purple dragon, who they eventually adopted and raised as one of their own. Ignitus: They named him Spyro and he grew up alongside Sparx, Ignitus: the young dragonfly who was born the same day. Ignitus: In fact, the two were almost like brothers. Ignitus: And a more oddly-matched, yet compatible pair of brothers the world has never seen. Sparx: Never catch me this time, purple boy! Ignitus: As for Spyro, he, like all of us, Ignitus: accepted the world into which he was born, believing he was one of them. Ignitus: A big purple one of them, true, but one of them nonetheless. Spyro: I see you, my little glowing friend. Sparx: Seeing and catching are two different things, big boy. Spyro: Yeah, you better run. Sparx: What's the matter, little Spyro? You can't fly? Sparx: Oh, that's right, you walk everywhere. Mmm, that’s too bad. Spyro: You're toast when I catch you! Sparx: Aaah, must be tough to lose all the time, Sp-... Sparx: Alright, let me outta here, you overgrown fungus! Sparx: Spyro, seriously, lend me a hand here, will ya brother? Spyro: Geez, Sparx, I dunno. Frogweed's gotta eat too. Sparx: Spyro, whack it! Do something. I’m your buddy, my wings are getting moldy. Sparx: Ugghhh... now I smell almost as bad as you do. Sparx: Oooh, and that’s pretty bad. See ya later sucker! Spyro: So much for gratitude. Spyro: Hey, that's cheating! We're not allowed in there! Sparx: Pffft... Excuses, excuses. Catch up or give up, chunky! Spyro: Where's that little gnat gone now? Sparx: Has anyone seen a giant purple thing around here? I seemed to have lost mine. Sparx: You know, this is getting a little boring... aah AAAH Spyro: Sparx! Leader: I thought all you guys was gone. Sparx: You miserable coward let me go! Leader: Grrrr. Ha ha ha ha. Don't let him get away. Sparx: Let me outta here and fight me like a... thing... whatever you are. You pathetic wretch! Leader: Nnnnnnnya! I've had about enough of you... Spyro: Sparx look out! Spyro: Noooooo... aaaahhhhhhhhhh! Sparx: Wha hoo... Was that fire dude? Leader: Take care of 'em... I gotta report to Cynder... Sparx: Get me outta here, Spyro... I think my wings are singed... Spyro: You okay? Sparx: You almost torched me, dude. Sparx: Wait... Sparx: You breathed fire! Sparx: So I’m just about ready to blow the top off that place and kick that guy's booty, Sparx: when Spyro let loose with some serious flame, dude... No Joke. Flames. From the mouth. Spyro: I was just trying to help. Sparx: Some help. You nearly turned me to ashes, dude. Sparx: Mom, dad, you shoulda seen him. He came out breathing fire... alright? I tell you, it was crazy! Sparx: You don't believe me? Spyro, tell 'em... Spyro: It's true, dad. I swear. I just got real mad, opened my mouth, and whoosh... flame city. Flash: It's not that, Spyro. I believe you both. Flash: It's just that your mother and I knew this day would come. Spyro: What day? Flash: The day when we would have to tell you the truth. Ignitus: So that was the night that Spyro learned he wasn't a dragonfly after all. Ignitus: But in fact an exile from an unknown, distant land. Spyro: So... you mean... I'm not your real son? Nina: You are our real son. Nina: It's just that you came from somewhere else. Nina: Far away, where wars rage on and on, and the innocent seem to always pay the price. Ignitus: It wasn't long after that night that Spyro decided to venture forth and find his home. Sparx: So that's it, huh? Leaving Sparx behind at the old homestead? Not a care in the world, don’t look back. Spyro: This is your home, Sparx, but I just found out that my home is out there somewhere... Spyro: and I've got to find it. Spyro: Besides, I'm not leaving you behind. I'm just leaving you where you belong. Sparx: Well I thought I belonged with you, 'coz I'm always with you. But I guess I was wrong, huh? Sparx: I'm sure I'm wrong on a lot of things. You know what? You're right, I'm wrong. Flash: Don't worry about him, Spyro. Flash: You know how hotheaded he can be. You'll see him when you get back. Flash: Now, now, son, keep your head up, your nose clean, and use that breath of yours wisely. Flash: All gifts come with a price. Nina: Don't listen to your father's preaching, Spyro. Just be yourself. It's all any of us can do. Ignitus: So, hard as it was, Spyro left the only family he'd ever known, and journeyed on... Ignitus: to where he did not know. Sparx: Spyro, so, ah, me and the old man were chatting Sparx: and this whole belonging thing, you know, came up, and we decided that best friends belong together... Sparx: even if one of them is purple and does have some weight issues. Spyro: Weight issues, huh? At least I've never been turned into a lantern. Sparx: Oh please! Lantern shmantern. Let's see what's out there. Sparx: Ahhhhhhhhh! Spyro: Ahhhhh! Sparx: Breathe, Sparx old boy... go to your happy place. Spyro: What in the world was that? Sparx: I have no idea, but I'm going this way... far from it. Ignitus: Which brings us to the moment that Spyro's journey really began. Ignitus: When he and I finally met... again... for the very first time... ahhh, it's a long story. Sparx: And I thought you were a big one. Goodness. Ignitus: You're... you're alive? Ignitus: But it's too late... too late... Spyro: Too late for what? Who are you? Do you know me? Where do I come from? Spyro: What are you?... What are we?... WHAT AM I?!? Ignitus: You mean you don't know? Sparx: Does it sound like he knows? Ignitus: You're a dragon. When you were just an egg, it was my job to protect you... Ignitus: ... it was my job to protect all of you. Spyro: There are others? Ignitus: Others? Ignitus: There were. Ignitus: There were four of us, Guardians that is, and we had one job: ensure that all the eggs were hatched. Ignitus: It was the Year of the Dragon, after all, and our very survival depended on those eggs... Ignitus: but the Temple and Grotto are now gone... overrun by... Spyro: Temple? What Temple? Can you take me? Can I see it? Where I came from, I mean? Ignitus: No, no. Ignitus: Who knows what forces occupy the Temple now. What state it's in. Ignitus: You don't understand. After they came for you... Spyro: They? Who is they? And why did they come for me? Ignitus: Because the prophecies spoke of a Purple Dragon, a dragon born only once every ten generations. Ignitus: You. Sparx: You? Does that mean him? Sparx: Wait, this guy? Spyro some special once in a purple thing? Sparx: Ha ha, I think you might have mixed that one up. Wooo, that’s a little... bit of a stretch. Sparx: I've heard some, ah, doozies in my day, but that takes the cake. Ignitus: Spyro is it? Well, Spyro, I assure you that I'm telling you the truth. Ignitus: The Dark Armies attacked, intent on destroying the eggs and killing the rest of us. Ignitus: They nearly succeeded... and then they lay siege to the other islands. Ignitus: We were at war. Ignitus: For many years we fought all over the islands. Ignitus: Brutal clashes with the armies of the Dark Master, Ignitus: who was intent on preventing the prophecies from coming true. Ignitus: The other three Guardians and I led our small but valiant forces into battle after battle against our ruthless, Ignitus: mercenary foe. Ignitus: Then, when we were beginning to turn the tide... Cynder came. Spyro: Cynder? Ignitus: Yes, Cynder. Ignitus: Cynder was... is... monstrous, horrific, ferocious, Ignitus: a black dragon that fills the skies with terror, an unstoppable force of nature... Sparx: Ah, yeah, you had me at ferocious. Listen, sounds like that thing that was chasing us, Spyro. Ignitus: Yes, she still searches for me... Ignitus: ... and years ago I watched as Cynder plucked the other Guardians from the fields of battle, Ignitus: like so many ripe grapes from a vine. Ignitus: Without them, our cause is lost. Ignitus: Only I, Ignitus, managed to escape. Ignitus: Not that it matters. Ignitus: Cynder now rules all... and I sit here wondering what might have been. What else I might have done. Sparx: Wow... sounds... fun. I wanna hang out with this guy. Spyro: Yeah, why have you given up? Spyro: I just find out that I'm this special dragon, and you tell me all is lost? Spyro: That I have no home or family left? I've come way too far to give up now. Spyro: I wanna see where I come from. Sparx: Hold up, savior boy, were you not listening to this guy? Sparx: 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. Ignitus: It's true, the prophecies spoke of a purple dragon destined to put his stamp on this age, Ignitus: 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? Sparx: That’s when I go, ah, maybe we should go back to the forest with the flowers and the fun stuff. Ignitus: Cynder's soldiers must have knocked the other two statues out of place... heathens. Spyro: What other two statues? Ignitus: On the other side of this door are two statues just like these. Ignitus: When all four statues are positioned correctly, the door opens. Sparx: Yeah, good. I was never good at geometry. So what do you want us to do? Ignitus: Spyro, I need you to get in there and move the statues in place. Spyro: Me? How? Ignitus: There's a small tunnel that animals use to access the caves. Find it and use it. Sparx: Yeah, animals, okay. You know what? You do that, and I’ll wait here. Sparx: Eh, when in doubt, break it right? Go nuts. Ignitus: Any trouble? Spyro: A little insect trouble... nothing I couldn't handle. Sparx: Little insects, my tail section. Ignitus: The past is prelude, tomorrow a dim promise. Allow us entrance, do not reject us. Sparx: Are you making that up? Ignitus: It should open for us. Ignitus: There is a... disturbance. Ignitus: It seems my fears have been realized: they've desecrated the interior as well. Ignitus: Guess we'll have to open it the old-fashioned way. Ignitus: Make your way through the connecting rooms, restoring every statue you can find. Sparx: Hey, you know what? Let’s don’t and say we didn’t. Why don’t you do it? Ignitus: You want my help? Very well. Hop up. Sparx: Alright... the old guy’s coming to life. Ignitus: Careful, Spyro. Cynder's forces are surely on their way. Sparx: Oh, goody. Sparx: Hey Spyro, what was that about? Spyro: I don't really know. Spyro: I just felt like I had to hit it... and when I did, Spyro: the power of a thousand suns surged through my body. Sparx: Right, okay. Well you know what? You should really sleep better. Sparx: Y'know, I'm gonna stop buggin you. You really need to get eight hours. Spyro: Forget I said anything. Let's go. Ignitus: That’s quite an entrance, young dragon. There might be hope for us yet. Spyro: What are these things? Ignitus: These are Spirit Gems... a gift from the Ancestors. Spyro: What kind of gift? Ignitus: A gift that speaks across generations... Ignitus: a gift that empowers you with the spirit of the past, strengthening you with the wisdom of the ages. Spyro: I feel more powerful already. Ignitus: Do you hear that? Spyro: What is it? Ignitus: Exactly what I feared. Ignitus: Look, Spyro, perhaps we should turn back. Spyro: What? After coming this far? Ignitus: If this door is closed, it means there are intruders behind. Ignitus: It's how the Temple protects itself. Sparx: Ah, yeah. Doesn't work too well, does it? Spyro: So what are you saying, Ignitus? Ignitus: What I'm saying is the only way the door will open... Sparx: Don't say it! Spyro: ... is if the intruders are kicked out of there. Sparx: Didn't I just say don’t say it? Leader: Well, Ignitus, we nabbed your Guardian buddies but you managed to escape our clutches... Leader: ... until now... Ignitus: Stand back, Spyro, and let me show what a dragon trained in the ancient ways can do. Sparx: Woah! The big guy's got some moves. Spyro: Are you okay, Ignitus? Ignitus: Yes, as I get older it takes longer to recover... Spyro: You were incredible, Ignitus. Can you show me how to do that? Ignitus: Patience, young dragon. Soon enough you'll learn all I have to teach. Ignitus: But right now you must fight! Ignitus: If Cynder's forces were here, there will certainly be more of them in the Temple. Sparx: Oh goody. Spyro: They won't be there for long. Sparx: Wonderful... now he's getting cocky. o------------------------o | | [020200]~-|~-~-~-~-~[DOJO]~--~-~-~-|-~[020200] | | o------------------------o Ignitus: Ahhh, home sweet home. Sparx: Spyro, we're not in Kansas anymore... Spyro: What happened here? Ignitus: This is what Cynder has done. Put all the islands under her iron rule. Spyro: I wanted to see where I came from... but I didn't know it was going to be like this. Sparx: Yeah, no offense, but this place is a bit of a dump. Ignitus: This was once our home, Spyro. Ignitus: 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 is 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. Ignitus: 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... Spyro: ... I'll try. Ignitus: Good. That's all I can ask. Now come with me. I have something for you. Ignitus: The style you used earlier is crude, archaic, and obvious, Spyro, but you got the job done. Ignitus: Not bad, considering you haven't been taught anything about what it means to be a dragon. Spyro: Thanks... Spyro: ... I think. Ignitus: But if you're going to have a chance against Cynder and her army, you're going to need to learn a lot more. Sparx: Oh good... school. Ignitus: Unlike any school you've ever known, young friend. Ignitus: Now... it's time to unleash the true dragon within you. Ignitus: Each of the Guardians is master of an element. Ignitus: I, as you may have surmised, am master of fire. Ignitus: Pay attention and you may be someday too. Let's begin. Sparx: So what's with the pool, big guy? Ignitus: If you must know, certain dragons have the ability to see visions... Ignitus: the thoughts, memories, and dreams of others... Ignitus: and to see what's happening in places far, far away. Ignitus: 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? Sparx: What am I thinking now? Sparx: 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: What I do see in the Pool of Visions is that Volteer, one of the Guardians, is being held on Dante's Freezer. Ignitus: Spyro, while I look for details on the others, I want you to venture there and find out what you can. Ignitus: Remember, just look around. If you encounter Cynder, run... you're not ready to face her yet. Sparx: Okay, so when people are trying to kill me I run. Got it. Spyro: But Ignitus, how do we get there? Ignitus: I'm glad you asked. Sparx: Why are you smiling. I don’t like it. Spyro: Let me get this straight, you're saying that I... can fly? Sparx: Maybe you've been hanging in those caves a little too long, Old Man. Spyro can't fly. We all know that. Spyro: Yeah, a bit of fresh air might do you good. I've never flown in my life. Ignitus: It's you that will be getting some fresh air, Spyro. Ignitus: Now... close your eyes, take a deep breath, and empty your mind... Ignitus: ... yes, yes, that's it. Ignitus: Now feel the power of your ancestors coursing through your body. Ignitus: In times of crisis they will come to you and teach you... unlocking powers you never knew you had. Sparx: Boy, this I gotta see. Ignitus: Just forget everything you ever thought you knew... forget yourself. Ignitus: Only through forgetting will you remember what your ancient blood already knows... Ignitus: ... you can fly. o------------------------o | | [020300]~-|~-~-~[FIRST FLIGHT]~-~-~|-~[020300] | | o------------------------o 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. Spyro: Yeah, I could get used to this. o------------------------o | | [020400]~-|~-~-[DANTE'S FREEZER]-~-|-~[020400] | | o------------------------o Ignitus: Dante's Freezer is a desolate arctic expanse that's littered with the machinery of war... Ignitus: soldiers and weapons frozen forever in the posture of destruction. Ignitus: You must find Volteer before he's lost forever. Spyro: How the heck do I land? Spyro: Coming in too fast! Sparx: This... doesn't look good. Spyro: Incoming Sparx: That’s gonna hurt. Sparx: Nice landing, ace. Spyro: Yeah. Maybe this flying thing aint for me. Sparx: Well, it sure doesn't help that you're carrying all that weight Sparx: You know, throw a salad in every once in a while. You might be okay. Spyro: Yeah, I think I'll stick to the ground for a while. Sparx: Good idea. Spyro: Not exactly a friendly place, huh? Wonder where we should start. Sparx: Well, I'm no hero like you, but maybe we should take that clearly marked path that leads to the interior. Sparx: Is it weird that that blinked at me? Spyro: Just keep moving. Sparx: Ice cubes alive! Sparx: Why don't we use this thing to knock that bad boy down? Spyro: Ha, ha. I knew I brought you along for a reason. Spyro: That was a good idea... glad I thought of it. Sparx: You, glad you? No. Sparx: You think that was Cynder? Spyro: I sure hope so. Sparx: What? Spyro: Well, if it wasn't, it means there's more than one giant evil dragon around here. Sparx: Oh yeah, I hope that was Cynder too. Sparx: Look out! Sparx: Spyro? You okay, buddy? Sparx: Wooo! I guess so. Sparx: Maybe we should head this way, genius. Sparx: Hey, Sp-... Sparx: Oh, check this out. Sparx: Echo! Spyro: Ha ha, alright my turn. Spyro: Hellooooooo! Soldier: Hello. Spyro: Who's the genius now, echo man? o------------------------o | | [020500]~-|~-~-[BOSS: ICE KING]-~-~|-~[020500] | | o------------------------o Sparx: Hey, that’s him. We did it. Bye. Spyro: Hmm, I don't like this. It's too quiet... too easy. Sparx: Wha... what part was easy? Sparx: Eh, getting chased by frozen madmen and gorillas? Spyro: Uh, Sparx... Sparx: Is that what I think it is? Sparx: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! o------------------------o | | [020600]~-|~-~-~-~-~[DOJO]~-~-~-~-~|-~[020600] | | o------------------------o Volteer: It borders on the miraculous, incredible, stupendous... Volteer: a dragon your size defeating that... that... thing. Thank you... ah... ah... ah... Spyro: Spyro. Volteer: A purple dragon named Spyro. Volteer: Amazing. Volteer: Of course, there were unsubstantiated rumors of a purple dragon countless generations ago, Volteer: but most considered it hearsay, Volteer: gossip, legend. It's hard to believe, difficult to fathom, amazing to comprehend... er... um... Sparx: No wonder they gagged this guy. Volteer: ... so much time has passed, so many things have been learned, Volteer: and now, here he is, standing right before me... Sparx: Excuse me... Mr. Volt. Volteer: Wha... wha... what is it? Sparx: Sir. Should... shouldn't we get going? Volteer: Oh, of course, but where to? Spyro: Well, back to the Temple. Sparx: A friend of yours is waiting. Volteer: Ignitus? Sparx: Yes, Ignitus. Volteer: Of course, much to tell him, many hypotheses to pose. I believe that... Ignitus: Yes, yes, Volteer, it's good to see you as well, but we don't have time to waste on sentiment. Ignitus: Back to Cynder... she was doing what to you? Sparx: Cynder's a chick? Volteer: It's hard to be absolutely sure, Ignitus, Volteer: but it seems she was using me as some sort of suspended, organic power source... Sparx: Huh? Spyro: She was using him as a battery. Sparx: Why didn't he just say so? Volteer: Not only that, she also left with a glowing yellow orb... and I believe that I somehow powered it. Volteer: Does this mean anything to you, Ignitus? Ignitus: Perhaps... perhaps. What I do know is that we need to rescue the other Guardians... Ignitus: before Cynder can power any more of those orbs. Volteer: I agree, Ignitus, but first I'd like to impart some useful knowledge to Spyro, Volteer: vis-a-vis his recently-acquired electricity-based exhalation device. Sparx: What? Spyro: He says he'd like to teach me some things about that Electricity Breath. Sparx: Oi! Why doesn’t he just say so? Ignitus: Spyro... Cyril, the Ice Guardian, was taken to Tall Plains Ignitus: ... 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. Spyro: Yes sir. o------------------------o | | [020700]~-|~-~-~-[TALL PLAINS]~-~-~|-~[020700] | | o------------------------o Ignitus: Tall Plains was once home to a proud ancient tribe called the Atlawa. Sparx: Bless you. Spyro: Sparx. Ignitus: The Atlawa were a people in tune with the rhythms of the seasons, Ignitus: focused on their relationship to crops, their surroundings, their gods. Ignitus: They've all been driven underground by Cynder and her forces, who've taken over the tribe's Shrine. Ignitus: I sense that's where Cynder is keeping Cyril, trying to power another crystal. Ignitus: You must find him before she succeeds. Sparx: Right, it's never easy, is it? Spyro: Nothing worthwhile ever is. Sparx: So now you're spouting wisdom, hero boy? Spyro: C'mon. Spyro: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Sparx: Does that mean what I think it does? Spyro: Yeah, we've got to help him. Sparx: Oh brother. Kane: Watch it, would ya? Spyro: I was just trying to help. Kane: Well, the Atlawa and Kane need no help. Spyro: Oh, just about to spring into action, huh? Sparx: Forget this guy, Spyro. Come on. Spyro: What did they want with you anyway? Kane: It's none of your business. Now move... I've got a tribe to save. Sparx: Oh you're welcome! Spyro: We're going to have to use the waterwheels to move ahead. Sparx: Oh, it’s never easy. Spyro: Kane! Sparx: Yeah, I know the guy's an ingrate, but you gotta do something, and fast! Sparx: Buddy, you're getting weirder and weirder by the second. Kane: You again? Kane: Why don't you get outta here and leave me in peace. I'm the boss here... nobody else. Sparx: Boss of what? Spyro: Shhh! Spyro: You're all alone? Kane: Only until I kick these bums out. Kane: Which reminds me, I can't stand here chatting with purple dragons and mosquitoes... Sparx: Hey, woah, woah. Who you calling a mosquito? Kane: Besides, it’s not safe for you here. Sparx: Oh, concerned about our welfare now? Spyro: No need, we can take care of ourselves. Anyway, we need to get to the shrine. Kane: You’ll never make it. Kane: The Shrine God has not been appeased since Cynder's forces came... he is not happy. Sparx: So, is anybody fun around here? Kane: You can't possibly face the God of the Shrine alone. Spyro: Not all of us are loners, Kane. Spyro: I'm not going alone. Spyro: Maybe some day you'll learn that two heads are better than one. Spyro: Even if they are pin heads. Sparx: Yeah... what?! Spyro: I'm not sure I like the looks of this thing. Sparx: Now you tell me. Sparx: Well, that was fun. Kane: I have to admit, you've done better than I thought possible. Sparx: Saying that had to hurt. Kane: More than you can imagine. Kane: There are some things you should know about the Shrine before you enter... Sparx: And I think we're done here... Spyro: Not before we rescue Cyril. Kane: The Atlawa Shrine has been desecrated Kane: and the God of the Shrine has not been given tribute since Cynder's forces arrived. Kane: But if you can subdue his anger, the balance will be returned... and my people can come home. Spyro: That's fine, but I came to free Cyril. Kane: You must go through the God of the Shrine to free him. Sparx: Knew you were going to say that. o------------------------o | | [020800]~-|~[BOSS: STONE SENTINEL]~|-~[020800] | | o------------------------o Spyro: Be careful. Remember last time. Sparx: I know, I know, but Cynder left and I don't see any Ice Kings hanging around this place. Sparx: When will I learn? When things look good, run for the hills. Kane: You have subdued the God of the Shrine, restored balance to seasons, the land, our world. Kane: The Atlawas want to worship you now. Sparx: Worship? Sparx: Okay, now that's what I'm talkin' about... Sparx: I've never gotten the respect I deserve... the praise that should be mine... Spyro: That's very nice, Kane, but we have to get back to our home, Spyro: figure out how to stop Cynder for good. Sparx: My dear Atlawas, I am the mighty Sparx, scourge of despots... Cyril: Yes, yes, old boy, we'd like nothing more than to stay and be a part of your Cyril: primitive, barbaric society, but Cyril: duty calls, duty calls... Kane: If you must, you must. But know that you're now part of the Atlawa tribe... one of us. Sparx: I am the mighty Spar... whatever. Kane: By the way... you were right. Spyro: About what? Kane: Maybe two heads are better than one. Kane: Even if one of them belongs to an annoying mosquito. Sparx: Mosquito, me? Is that... oh. o------------------------o | | [020900]~-|~-~-~-~-~[DOJO]~-~-~-~-~|-~[020900] | | o------------------------o Cyril: Yes, yes, Volteer, I see that months of tortured captivity has done nothing to slow that electric Cyril: 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. Ignitus: It is certainly encouraging that Spyro has been able to free two of you to allow this reunion, Ignitus: but haven't we forgotten someone? Cyril: Yes, yes, of course... Terrador. Ignitus: Precisely. Now how do we proceed? Cyril: I believe I can help, Ignitus. Cyril: Well, young chap, since you learned a few things about ice on Tall Plains, Cyril: I suggest we adjourn to the Training Room so that I can teach you some more. Cyril: The legacy of the great Ice dragons of yore... my ancestors, Cyril: who come from the best of the best of this somewhat bedraggled lineage... Cyril: is long and storied. Cyril: With my help, rescuing Terrador should be a certainty. Volteer: Your pomposity, arrogance, and pretentiousness is odious to the extreme. Cyril: Shall we? Cyril: So what exactly are you saying, Ignitus? Volteer: Yes, your hypothesis is an intriguing one but it is perplexing to the extreme. Sparx: Huh? Spyro: He says he doesn't know what he's talking about. Sparx: Dude, I never know what he’s saying. Ignitus: What I'm saying is that Cynder is harnessing the Guardians' power to unlock a portal Ignitus: that must never be opened. Spyro: Why, what's behind this portal? Ignitus: That doesn't concern you right now. What does concern you is getting to Munitions Forge - Ignitus: and freeing Terrador before she can create another crystal from his powers. Volteer: ... and before the volcano blows it’s-... Ignitus: That's enough, Volteer, there's plenty of time... plenty of time. Sparx: Plenty of time? What we need more time to have horrible things happen to us? Sparx: Why didn't we just stay in Tall Plains? Oh, I’m a big deal there. Spyro: Quit complaining Sparx. Maybe there's a tribe on Munitions Forge you can save too. Sparx: Yeah, but there's always something special about the first tribe you save. Ya know? o------------------------o | | [021000]~-|~-~-[MUNITIONS FORGE]~-~|-~[021000] | | o------------------------o Ignitus: Munitions Forge is an island dominated by Boyzitbig, Ignitus: an unstable volcano that makes life on the surface very dicey. Ignitus: The locals, who live underground, have been forced to mine the metals Ignitus: that Cynder uses to forge her army's weapons. Spyro: What are the locals called? Ignitus: They're called Manweersmalls. Sparx: Right. Do I need to write that down? Ignitus: Rumor has it that Cynder is holding Terrador somewhere in the mines. Ignitus: We know she's using him to power the last of the crystals she needs to open the portal. Ignitus: Free him before she gets the chance. Sparx: Boy is it big! Spyro: Boy, it’s big! But no time for sightseeing, Sparx. Spyro: Time to get serious, let's go. Sparx: Ohhh... not again. Spyro: Man... is he small! Mole-Yair: What's that? Who's there? Spyro: It's, it's me, Spyro... Sparx: ... and the former god of Tall Plains, Sparx. Mole-Yair: You don't carry the stench of Cynder's beasts, so you must be friends. Spyro: We are. Spyro: And who are you? Mole-Yair: I am Mole-Yair, leader of the Manweersmalls. Mole-Yair: But I'm not much of a leader anymore. Mole-Yair: Those of my people who aren't mining for Cynder are holed up in the caves, Mole-Yair: scared out of their little wits, waiting for Boyzitbig to blow. Mole-Yair: Which shouldn't be long. Mole-Yair: If you would help me free them, perhaps there's something I could do for you? Spyro: I don't know. We're here to rescue a big friend of ours. Mole-Yair: Is he a mighty dragon? Spyro: Yes... why? Mole-Yair: Because I know where he's being kept... Mole-Yair: in the mines near a large labor camp, where my own brother, Exhumor, toils away. Mole-Yair: We can help each other. Spyro: Well... which way do we go? What should we do next? Mole-Yair: Oh, it's simple enough, but we've got to hurry. Mole-Yair: Boyzitbig is getting more unstable by the minute. Mole-Yair: We must clear these caves before we can help your friend. Sparx: You're asking him for directions? Wow, talk about the blind leading the blind. Spyro: Forget him, Mole-Yair... we're in. Mole-Yair: Ha ha! You did it, you did it! A thousand thanks. Mwah, mwah, mwah! Spyro: It was nothing. Sparx: No problem, pal. Mole-Yair: Well... you did your part, now I'll do mine. Mole-Yair: Your friend is being kept in the center of the volcano, Mole-Yair: past the labor camp where my brother, Exhumor, is working. Mole-Yair: Find him and let him know we're friends, and he'll tell you how to proceed. Spyro: How will we know Exhumor? Sparx: Yeah, all you Man-are-we-smalls look the same to me. Mole-Yair: Oh, you'll know him. Trust me. Mole-Yair: He's the most cantankerous hard-nosed Manweersmall around. Mole-Yair: Whatever you do, don't get on his bad side. 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... Sparx: Oh I didn't know, I'm sorry, oh no, I'm sorry baby, why don't I get your pillow all laid out... Sparx: SPYRO! Can you hear me? Are you okay, buddy? Sparx: Hey listen, forget about those cracks I made about your fatness and your, Sparx: being purple and stupid and fat, all right? Sparx: Just get outta there! Please, Spyro, don't be dead! 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 something before I blasted my way out. Sparx: Oh, that’s funny. Yeah, no, must be hearing things. Conductor: Come on, you worthless waste of flesh... let's go. Conductor: We've got to hop on Steam and get back to that flea-bitten dragon. Conductor: The crystal should be almost ready... and the volcano is right on the brink. Spyro: Come on, Sparx, we've got to catch them! Sparx: You don't know how to drive this thing. Spyro: How hard can it be? It's on rails. Sparx: Famous last words. Spyro: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Spyro: Wait, wait, wait! We're on your side! Exhumor: More likely spies for the Conductor... or that flying beast Cynder! Spyro: Mole-Yair sent us! Exhumor: My brother is alive? Sparx: He sure is, pal, he’s all safe and sound. But I gotta say, he's the friendly one in the family. Exhumor: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. In these dark times, one can't take chances. Exhumor: So Mole-Yair is alive. Wonderful news. But why did he send you here? Spyro: Well, he said you might be able to tell us where our friend, Terrador, is. Exhumor: If he's a big dragon, I certainly can. Exhumor: The majority of the Manweersmalls are kept here in this camp, Exhumor: forced to live above ground and mine for Cynder... Exhumor: and there are rumors that your dragon friend is being kept somewhere inside... Exhumor: in the darkest pits of the volcano. Exhumor: All of us are doomed... Spyro: Not if we have anything to say about it. Exhumor: What do you mean? Sparx: Yeah, what do you mean? Spyro: I mean we're going to free the Manweeersmalls, Spyro: venture to the darkest pits of Boyzitbig, and find Terrador. Sparx: Then it’s off to karaoke! Sparx: Well, I see you two crazy kids found each other. Mole-Yair: Yes, at last... thanks to you. Exhumor: We're just disappointed you didn't leave any fun for us. Spyro: Maybe next time. So now, which way to Terrador? Exhumor: That way... but be careful. The Conductor and his maniacal locomotive will surely be close by. Sparx: When you say be careful, does that mean try not to die? I’m trying to do that anyway. Mole-Yair: Come, Exhumor, we must get all the Manweersmalls underground... where they belong. Exhumor: Yes, it won't be long now. o------------------------o | | [021100]~-|~-~-~-[BOSS: STEAM]~-~-~|-~[021100] | | o------------------------o Spyro: Is... that... Terrador? Sparx: Big dragon being held prisoner in the center of an explosive volcano? Sparx: I’m guessing that’s Terrador. Spyro: Careful... it's never this easy. Sparx: After the last two times, you're not going to get an argument from me, chief. Sparx: Oh, here we go again! Conductor: You're a little late, fella. The crystal's already charged and the volcano's ready to blow... Conductor: But before it does, me and Steam here are gonna take great pleasure in running you down! 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 everybody and chit chat, Sparx: but how ‘bout we leave before the volcano blows us up? Terrador: You're right. Terrador: 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. Terrador: Run... Sparx: Look, when the guy says run, I think he knows something! Terrador: Go, Spyro! Fly like you've never flown before! I'll go back to the Temple for help! o------------------------o | | [021200]~-|~-[ESCAPE FROM CYNDER]-~|-~[021200] | | o------------------------o 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. Terrador: Yes. You'll never find them in this mess, and you're not ready to face Cynder yet. Terrador: The time to fight will come... but it is not now. Spyro: I guess you're right. Let's go. o------------------------o | | [021300]~-|~-~-~-~-~[DOJO]-~-~-~-~-|-~[021300] | | o------------------------o Spyro: It's my fault... I failed Ignitus when he needed me most. Spyro: 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? Spyro: Yeah, something like that. Terrador: All warriors feel fear at one time or another, Spyro. There is no shame in that. Volteer: Yes, it's a proven scientific fact that the quotient between adrenaline and trepidation... Cyril: Volteer, please, I believe our good friend here was trying to make a point. Terrador: Thank you, Cyril. Terrador: What I was going to say is that all warriors feel fear, Spyro, but only the most valiant among us can face that fear... and master it. Terrador: From what I saw of you on Munitions Forge, you are one such warrior. Terrador: Young dragon, now is the time to complete your training... now is the time to face your fear. Terrador: Come. Sparx: Am I the only one still petrified? Terrador: You've done well, Spyro. Cyril: Yes, yes, pat on the back, good going, all that other rubbish, but we've got to get moving here. Volteer: Cyril is terribly obnoxious but in this case he happens to be right, Terrador. Volteer: Ignitus is the final piece to Cynder's puzzle. Volteer: If that last crystal is powered, the portal will open and we'll all be done for. Terrador: I know, I know. Terrador: When I was on Munitions Forge, Terrador: I overheard the Conductor say that Cynder's final preparations would take place at her lair, Terrador: where she lives in solitude among the clouds and the towers. Terrador: I am certain that's where she's taken Ignitus. Spyro: We have to go... come on. Terrador: I'd give anything to go with you, young warrior, but that crystal sapped the last of my will. Terrador: I fear my fighting days are over. Volteer: Every generation must pass the torch to the next, Terrador. Our time is done. Cyril: Yes, it is Spyro's time to shine. Cyril: Now go to it, young dragon! Spyro: Yes sir! Sparx: Wow, you guys make even me wanna face Cynder. Sparx: Did I say that out loud? o------------------------o | | [021400]~-|~-~[CONCURRENT SKIES]~-~|-~[021400] | | o------------------------o Terrador: Cynder's Lair is where hope goes to die, Spyro. Terrador: A dark, foreboding place in which Cynder broods and skulks and plans her next assault. Terrador: You must make your way to her fortress, where I'm sure Ignitus is being held. 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. Sparx: Terrador made it sound like this place was uninhabited! Spyro: Now what fun would that be? Come on, we've got to take them out! Sparx: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Sparx: I can’t talk... heart... breaking up... Spyro: Come on. Ignitus is waiting. Spyro: Sparx, look! The gate's losing power! Sparx: Her architect musta been a beauty. Sparx: I still don't like it. Spyro: Still doesn't matter. Ignitus needs us. Sparx: I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it'd be easier if she was smaller... a lot smaller. o------------------------o | | [021500]~-|~-~-~[BOSS: CYNDER]~-~-~|-~[021500] | | o------------------------o Sparx: Spyro... ? Spyro: What? Sparx: I don't like this... It feels like she's baiting us. I'm getting smarter. Ignitus: Spyro... destroy the crystal... quickly... Spyro: Let's get him out of here before Cynder gets back! Cynder: If only life were that easy, little one. Sparx: S-s-s-s-s-s-so... b-b-b-b-b-big... Cynder: Time you learned how complicated life can be. Ignitus: Run, Spyro... save yourself. Spyro: Not this time. This time I fight. Cynder: Ha ha ha ha ha... Bring it! Sparx: um... Spyro. Cynder: It is so sad it must end this way. Cynder: Now... Where was I? Sparx: Does she ever use doors? Spyro: There was something in her eyes, Ignitus... something familiar. Ignitus: There should be, Spyro. Ignitus: You and Cynder share more than you know. Ignitus: It's time I told you the truth... Ignitus: ... all of it. Ignitus: You see, after I took your egg to the Silver River, I returned to the Grotto to find utter chaos. Ignitus: The other Guardians had been overrun, Ignitus: and all the other eggs had been smashed by the Dark Master's forces... all except one... Ignitus: You see, the Dark Master was torn. Ignitus: He wanted to destroy all the eggs to prevent the birth of the purple dragon Ignitus: ... but he also needed a dragon. Spyro: Why would he need a dragon? Ignitus: Because, Spyro, Ignitus: only one born in the Year of the Dragon could open the portal that served as the Dark Master's prison. Spyro: Cynder? Ignitus: I'm afraid so. Spyro: 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: Because, Spyro, after the night of the raid, Ignitus: she was corrupted by the Dark Master's poisonous powers Ignitus: ... twisted by his evil lore. Ignitus: She's become the Dark Master's monster. Spyro: But why? What does this Dark Master want? Ignitus: He wants to be freed from the portal of Convexity Ignitus: ... to wreak havoc across the realms. Ignitus: And if Cynder gets there, he just might succeed. Ignitus: I'm afraid we might be too late. Spyro: No, I refuse to give up... I'm going to stop Cynder and the Dark Master. Sparx: Wait you, you heard the Dragon, Spyro. He said, too late. We’ll get him next time. Sparx: Come on, champ, you did a great job and let’s... let’s take five. Spyro: No! I'm ready... now! Ignitus: Okay, okay, Spyro, you're right. Ignitus: At the very least, you have to try. Ignitus: If the Dark Master escapes, a shadow will fall over the land, and who knows what will happen then. Ignitus: May the Ancestors look after you. May they look after us all. o------------------------o | | [021600]~-|~-~-~-[CONVEXITY]~-~-~-~|-~[021600] | | o------------------------o Ignitus: Convexity acts as an airlock between our world and the Dark Realms beyond. Ignitus: You must stop Cynder before she inserts the final crystal and activates the portal, Ignitus: freeing the Dark Master. Sparx: Now... I've seen everything. Spyro: Yeah, if we don't hurry, I have a feeling you're going to see a whole lot more. Come on. o------------------------o | | [021700]~-|~-[BOSS: FINAL BATTLE]-~|-~[021700] | | o------------------------o Cynder: My Master returns. Spyro: We're too late! Cynder: Hmmmm! Persistent little fella, aren't you? Cynder: This is where it really ends. Spyro: Bring it! Cynder: No mercy this time. Sparx: I can't watch this. Spyro: She is just like me. Sparx: Dude, we've 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! Spyro: Now we can go! Sparx: I'm right behind you buddy. Sparx: Mommy? Fluff my pillow? Ignitus: Feeling better, Spyro? Spyro: Not really, Ignitus. Spyro: That battle drained every last bit of my strength. I can hardly even lift my head. Ignitus: Yes, it will take some time for your powers to return. Ignitus: But they will in time, young dragon. They will in time. Ignitus: Cynder, ever since I failed the night of the raid, I've dreamed 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. Ignitus: 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. Terrador: Now it's time to be grateful for your success. Sparx: His success? What about me? Sparx: Just because a bunch of weird stuff doesn't come flying out of my mouth, Sparx: doesn't mean that I didn't help, ya know! Spyro: You were a big help Sparx. No doubt about it. Spyro: 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? Sparx: You know, I don't need this. I could have stayed with the... Sparx: Llama people, whatever, where I was appreciated, but no. Sparx: No. I decided to help the poor helpless dragons rid the world of evil. Sparx: What a mistake that was because 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. Sparx: Maybe you haven’t noticed, but things are a lot bigger to me than they are to you. Sparx: And did I back away? Nah, nah, nah. Why? Because I've got moxy, I'm a tough cookie, I've got class... Sparx: I've got fro... (cough) I got a little frog in my throat. Sparx: ... as I was saying, on Tall Plains they knew a good thing when they saw it Sparx: ... they recognized the value of a quality dragonfly like me... Sparx: but here I get nothing... not even a thanks, hey, how are ya doing, good, let me buy you a drink. Sparx: I should go back to the swamp... mom'll make it all good... Mommy always does. Cynder: See anything, Spyro? Spyro: No, but I've got a bad feeling. Cynder: Me too. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [030000]--------------------ELIJAH WOOD INTERVIEW----------------------[010000] ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Elijah Wood: And I think what’s really great about this game and what I’m excited about Elijah Wood: in regards to this game is that it’s sort of telling the story of Spyro from the beginning. Elijah Wood: He’s actually a small purple dragon that is raised by dragonflies. Elijah Wood: He doesn’t realize he’s a dragon. Elijah Wood: And within the story, as the story progresses, Elijah Wood: he learns of his true self, where he comes from... Elijah Wood: you know that there are these Elders, these kind of guardian, Elijah Wood: giant dragons and that he’s one of this ilk Elijah Wood: and throughout the game he starts to learn more about what he’s capable of as well. Elijah Wood: The significance of being a purple dragon is something special... Elijah Wood: the powers that come along with that Elijah Wood: and what’s really cool is as a player I think, Elijah Wood: is that you get to learn these different attributes throughout and use them in different ways, Elijah Wood: such as breathing fire which is kind of typical to dragons or Elijah Wood: breathing ice or electricity and these things just kind of come throughout the game and Elijah Wood: it’s a really interesting story based game that I think is quite immersive which is cool. Elijah Wood: If I could leave with one of Spyro’s powers, what could it be? Elijah Wood: It’s tough, they’re all pretty good, Elijah Wood: but the old standby, the ability to fly... Elijah Wood: you know that’s a big deal. Elijah Wood: Breathing fire... okay, that could be... Elijah Wood: I mean I could really run into some trouble that. Elijah Wood: You know, can you lessen the amount of fire that you’re breathing? Elijah Wood: What if you only intend to like, Elijah Wood: I don’t know, light a candle for instance, but then you light up your couch? Elijah Wood: You know, that could be really problematic. Elijah Wood: Electricity could be good because you could probably turn, Elijah Wood: like infuse something with power, Elijah Wood: but then how do you know like how much power to infuse it with? Elijah Wood: Like how many amps it takes and what if you go overboard Elijah Wood: and then you burn out all of your electricity? That’d be bad. Elijah Wood: Ice could be good, but then I could see that being extremely dangerous as well. Elijah Wood: I mean all of these things I think you’d have to learn how to regulate because you could Elijah Wood: freeze yourself, you could... Elijah Wood: I don’t know, I think there’s a lot of... Elijah Wood: flying the safest. I’ll go with flying. Elijah Wood: I mean he’s a character that sort of starts out Elijah Wood: entering into a world that he’s unfamiliar with Elijah Wood: and taking aboard something that is kind of quite massive. Elijah Wood: It’s not dissimilar from a journey that I’d taken before, Elijah Wood: as someone who is embarking on something that is sort of Elijah Wood: bigger than they could conceive of or bigger than them. Elijah Wood: I came in to do this session today and I was told that... Elijah Wood: I didn’t know who the rest of the cast were. Elijah Wood: I came in and I was told that Gary Oldman did the voice of Ignitus, Elijah Wood: which blows my mind. I mean he’s one of my favorite actors of all time... Elijah Wood: a true, true chameleon, someone that you can’t really peg. Elijah Wood: Has done every kind of voice, character imaginable... Elijah Wood: I mean that my time for heroics is past, Elijah Wood: but with your help we might be able to beat Cynder. Elijah Wood: I can’t Ignitus. I just learned what I am. Elijah Wood: You can, Spyro, you can. Elijah Wood: You are a purple dragon... a very special creature. Elijah Wood: It’s a pleasure to be associated with him because I’m such a huge fan Elijah Wood: and David Spade as Sparx as well. Elijah Wood: I’ve met David a couple of times and he’s a really sweet guy Elijah Wood: and really funny and for this kind of character, Elijah Wood: it’s so important to have someone that’s sort of biting and sarcastic and funny. Elijah Wood: Sparx is definitely all those things and David Spade’s perfect for that. Elijah Wood: Spyro, can you hear me? You okay buddy? Elijah Wood: Hey listen, forget about those cracks I made about your fatness and your being purple and stupid and fat. Elijah Wood: I’m very much, as a gamer, I’m very much attracted to Elijah Wood: a game that includes a great story that I can sink my teeth into... Elijah Wood: that will allow me to kind of continue to focus on the progress of the game and lead to other games. Elijah Wood: My favorite games are story based games and if the story’s good Elijah Wood: and the actual game play is fun than that’s all you need really. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ [040000]----------------------------THANKS-----------------------------[040000] ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thanks to Krome Studios for making the game and writing the subtitles.
