- 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.
- [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.
- 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!
- 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: [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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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]
- Sparx: 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...
- 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!
