SPYRO: Do people read my emails? If so, please report to me.

{opens email}

Help!

Dear Spyro, Help! It’s Bad Boy, Drake, and Peachy
We’re still under Platinum Poorbt’s control!

Please help, you know.

SPYRO: A help letter! I’m on my way.

{Spyro rockets out of his room crashing through the walls and starts to fly in the air. He then realizes that he can’t fly.}

SPYRO: Wait a second. I can’t fly. {falls} Ahhhh!

{Cut’s to a zoomed out scene where Spyro landed on Superman’s back who is flying. Then zooms in to Spyro and Superman}

SUPERMAN: {loosing energy} Ack! Kryptonite, Near!

{They crash in the ground with Superman’s head in the ground and Spyro laying on the ground beaten up.}

SPYRO: Maybe I shouldn’t carry pieces of Kryptonite.

{Cuts to Spyro in the Stinkoship, but the lights are off}

SPYRO: {walking towards the controls and looking around} Hmm. How did I turn this thing on? I don’t remember. Come to think of I, I don’t think I have been in this ship. Did I even ask Stinkoman if I could use it? Oh yeah, Asking is for squares. I’m a circle because I don’t ask.

{Cut’s to Spyro at the controls}

SPYRO: Hmm, an on button, an on lever, an on switch, an on pulley. Well one of these has to work.

{Spyro tries all the on controls. When he used the pulley, a pie came out of nowhere and hit him.}

SPYRO: Well you can’t beat the classics. Wait a minute. {licks the pie} This is Vanilla Laxative flavored pie. {his intestines growls} Oh god.

{Cuts to Spyro dashing to the restroom. He then looks at the door signs looking for the right room}

SPYRO: {reading doors} Stinkomans, 1-Ups, other Ups- {Stops} Gah! I don’t care what the next door is, I’m going in it!

{He goes in the Ladies room struggling to find it in the dark. He then comes out in relief to find that the lights are on, and he sees 1-Up in a Hall Monitor suit was waiting for him}

SPYRO: {Spotting 1-Up} What the-

1-UP: Violation 3.14159 of the Stinkoship rules.

SPYRO: Rules? What rules? Where did you get that suit?

1-UP: Allow me to explain. According to sector B, paragraph 3, sentence 1... {gets out a parchment, looks at it, then looks back at Spyro} ...Pudding.

{Spyro gives a blank expression}

1-UP: But according to sector C, paragraph 4, sentence 1, word A... {get out the parchment again and does the same action he just did} ...The. So I have no choice but to let you go.

{Spyro walks away. Cuts to the Stinkoship controls}

SPYRO: Now that they are on, Stinkoship, track Drake, Bad Boy, and Peachy.

STINKOSHIP: Password please.

SPYRO: {Thinking} Crap, a personal question Stinkoman would know. Why do my thoughts echo? Hello {echo!} Who is there {echo?} I’m an idiot {The echo actually replies “You’re an idiot”}! Hey! {echo’s back “…Is for horses.”}

STINKOSHIP: Password please.

SPYRO: {thinking} Oh yeah. Come on Spyro think! Think outside the box!

{cuts to a though bubble with a cardboard box flipped over on it’s open side, and a dot outside it.}

SPYRO: {off-screen thinking} Nope. Maybe on top.

{the dot goes on top}

SPYRO: {off-screen thinking} Crap! Nothing! Hmm.

{Cuts back to the control room}

STINKOSHIP: Password please. Password Please. {starts to spark and gradually lose power} Password Pleeeeese {runs out of battery}.

SPYRO: Wow, that was easy. Though the power in the autopilot is off, I think I can get by this manually without power in this ship.

{Cuts to Spyro opening the in case of Stinkoship computer losing power box. Then cuts back to Spyro on a built in bicycle.}

SPYRO: Blast of in 5, 4, Q, purple, 11 billion, tooty-too, uhh wait, 1! {Starts peddling for 5 seconds and then he hears a creaking noise and stops} {slowly} What the-

{Cuts outside above the Stinkoship. Spyro is catapulted out of the ceiling of the ship and out about 200 feet above the ship going at a fast speed}

SPYRO: Weeeeeeee.

{Cuts to the above half of New York City. Spyro is apparently still moving in the air}

SPYRO: {while on screen} Hey, Manhattan. {off-screen} What’s Manhattan?

{Cuts to a similar scene only in Egypt where The Sphinx is}

SPYRO: Idaho! I remember that!

{Cuts to a Burger King building floating in the air. Spyro passes it where a really long 2 way microphone meant for people being catapulted}

SPYRO: {fast} Hi. I would like a number 2, no ketchup, a large Sprite, and medium sized fries!

SPEAKER: Would you like that to go?

SPYRO: Does it look like I want it to go?

{Spyro flies too fast and misses his food when the worker handed it out. Cuts to a more zoomed in scene where Spyro has his hands still reaching out for the food.}

SPYRO: Aww man.

{Cuts to a huge castle made of bronze with a moat surrounding it and two platinum guards guarding the gate which strangely has the bridge down. Spyro finally drops down in a tree and tumbles out of it. Luckily, the guards don’t notice him.}

SPYRO: Hmm. Guards. Time to put my cloning power in action. {clones 2 copies} You {pointing at clone 1}, distract the guards. You {pointing at clone 2}, come with me and help with stuff. I’m, not exactly sure why I cloned 2 copies when I needed 1.

{cuts to clone 1 going up to the guards}

CLONE 1: Hi guys! How’s it going? {pause} Great! Well do any of you like balloon animals? {get’s out a unbent long balloon} This is a snake. It’s also a anaconda. And a python! Isn’t that cool?

{In the backround while Clone 1 is talking, Spyro and Clone 2 tip-toe up to the moat, Clone 2 throws Spyro at the open window. Spyro hits the wall instead. Clone 2 holds up a 8.5 on a rating sign and smiles. Spyro then climbs up the wall somehow and goes through the window. It then cuts inside the building where everything is Bronze}

SPYRO: Jeez, you would think someone with Platinum in his name would have a castle made of Platinum. {pointing to vents} Well at least it has vents for sneaking through. {climbs in without looking and falls down a vertical vent.} Ahhhhhhhh!

{Cuts to a jail cell where Drake, Peachy, and Bad Boy are standing around.}

DRAKE: Because of this incident, I like PSP’s better.

{Spyro falls down and breaks open the vent that was in the cell}

BAD BOY: Hey! You actually got my email!

SPYRO: Why wouldn’t I?

DRAKE: He didn’t have a computer.

SPYRO: {pause} Then how…{pause} never mind.

PEACHY: How are we gonna get out of here?

SPYRO: Simple. You tear of the wallpaper {He peels the wall of revealing a unfinished wall that leads outside}.

DRAKE: Holy Crap! How did you know?

SPYRO: The wall is not bronze.

{Cuts back to Clone 2}

CLONE 2: I know this interests you guys.

{Everyone else jumps out from the building in the backround}

CLONE 2: Umm…{taps one of the guards}…whoa. It’s solid platinum. {takes the guards and somehow puts them in his pockets}

SPYRO: {shouting} Clone 2! Retreat!

CLONE 2: Yes sir. {runs back in Spyro}

{Cuts to everyone walking}

BAD BOY: So, do you have a cool spaceship or something.

SPYRO: Uh-oh.

DRAKE: Don’t worry. I have 4 jetpacks.

SPYRO: {grabbing one jetpack} WOW! I always wanted to ride a jetpack. Now is this the on butto-

{presses a button and launches vertically in the air with everyone watching him. It then follows with a heard crash. It then cuts to the TV with a anchorman talking.}

ANCHORMAN: This just in! A mysterious object crashes into a UFO. {pause} Yeah, there’s not much to say.

{Cuts to the couch where Spyro, Drake, and Peachy are sitting on it}

SPYRO: Well, today has been a wealthy day.

DRAKE: Why?

SPYRO: Because I got money for that news report, I auctioned the Platinum Guards bodies on Ebay, and I saved 15% on car insurance by switching to Geico.

PEACHY: Say, what did you do with the money?

SPYRO: Oh, I gave it to Bad Boy to go buy a high definition TV. He’ll be back any minute.

{Bad Boy walks in the room}

DRAKE: Where’s the TV?

BAD BOY: Well, I traded the money for the same amount of bells.

SPYRO: Your telling me that you spent the money instead of a TV, but for Animal Crossing money.

BAD BOY: No, I mean bells. {gets out a bell} See, this one’s a cowbell. {starts ringing it}

EVERYONE ELSE: {freaked out} Nooooooooo!

{A herd of cows stampede into the room running over everyone. Then the paper comes down}
