Subject:Yvan eht nioj

Dear Spyrox,
Do you know of any backwards messages or anything? Like subliminal ones or something like that!
One time I listened to a song and I heard
"Inbykifjfborgjebabbausubliminal".
What do you think that message means?
Your semi biggest fan,
The Noid

SPYRO: {typing} Semi? Are you like, a half of a person? Sorry you look like that. Anyways, yeah I know subliminal messages. But you kind of took the one I know, which I can see in the subject line. Yvan eht nioj.

{Cuts to a zoomed out view of the room.}

DRAKE: {Walking across the screen in a trance} Must…join…Navy. Then…climb…a brick wall.

{Zooms back in to Spyro.}

SPYRO: {Typing} Yeah, It works alright. But you want me to decode “Inbykifjfborgjebabbausubliminal” {pronounces it “In-Kirby-cyborg-jlammy-subliminal” with trouble}? Well, it probably means “Inbykifjfborgjebabbausubliminal” {pronounces it the same way}. Now, to pull subliminal pranks. {gets out of his chair and walks off-screen to the right.}

{Cuts to Spyro on top of his house next to a satellite dish.}

SPYRO: How come I don’t Comcast? Ah, whatever. {gets out a pitcher of water} Now then, this is what happens when it rains. {pours the water on the dish.}

{Cuts to Peachy watching TV on the couch looking sluggish.}

TV: Hello everybody! You’re lucky because I’m gonna tell you all of the answers to life!

{Peachy sits up straight egger to hear more.}

TV: First, the secret to making a four-dimensional cube is-

{The TV then switches to static. Peachy then gives a shocked look. Cuts back to Spyro now with a DVD player in his hand.}

SPYRO: Now to set-up a broadcast while the static remains. {pause} I could of done that as step one.

{Cuts back to Peachy. Grinding his teeth until the static stops.}

TV: And now for another age old question. How many licks does it take to get to center of a tootsie pop. Well, it’s-

{The TV then switches to Spyro on top of the house. Spyro is wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask, glasses, a mustache, a top hat, and a superman suit.}

SPYRO: We interrupt this program to bring you this special bulletin. Obey Burgerking. Obey Burgerking. Obey Burgerking. {He says this about 25 times}. Now are we clear?

PEACHY: {hypnotized} Obey Burgerking.

SPYRO: Now lets say I’m McDonalds. Would you obey me?

PEACHY: {hypnotized} No.

SPYRO: Let’s say I’m Donald Trump. Would you obey me?

PEACHY: NOO! {Produces an Axe from off-screen and chucks it at the TV breaking it in a electrical explosion.}

{Cuts to Spyro on his house (in what he was dressed in.)}

SPYRO: Hehe. This could be fun. Now McDonalds is all mine! But that was the repeating subliminal message. Lets try another one.

{Cuts to Spyro at Dragon P. He opens Itunes and replaces a song called “Time Machine” to “Time Machete”}

SPYRO: They’ll never know the difference. {walks off-screen}

{Arielle walks on-screen with an Ipod}

ARIELLE: Download new songs Dragon P.

DRAGON P. 3.0: {Reluctantly} Uh…Sure.

{A wire connects to the Ipod and Arielle then starts listening to music.}

AREILLE: {searching} Lets see here…Aha! Time Machine.

{You can hear “Time Machine” By The Click 5 playing. Before the Chorus plays, a deep eerie voice says “I command you to talk the whole day speaking like Homsar!”. Arielle looks down at her Ipod suspiciously and walks off-screen un-affected}

SPYRO: {voice over} Did it look like it worked? Not really, but that quote was backwards for “Gotta Catch em all! Gotta Catch em all!" Which means she will like Poke’mon. Yay!

{Cuts to Spyro sitting in a chair in front of a backdrop that says “Subliminal’d in a pattern.}

SPYRO: First, we did a Tv message. Then, it was a music message. Now, lets do the flashing message.

{Cuts to Bad Boy sitting behind the Dragon P. 3.0 playing Peasants Quest where he is next to Poor Gary.}

BAD BOY: Hmm, a horse. {Typing} Talk to horse.

{A message pops up saying “Ye Horse can not talk to horse for it is magical attached to a wall.}

BAD BOY: What? I hate this Peasants Quest crossover with Thy Dungeon Man.

{A Message in a black background flashes saying “Wear mask, dummy.”}

BAD BOY: Wear…Mask? Hmm…{typing} Wear mask.

{Rather Dashing wears the mask and Poor Gary gets scared and runs through the fence like in the game.}

BAD BOY: Oh! Now I get it! Thanks message!

{Another Message flashes on the screen saying “No problem. Now punch yourself.”}

BAD BOY: Punch…{He punches himself causing him to fall out of the chair.}

SPYRO: {leaning on-screen} And we’ve subliminal’d 3 people! Don’t touch that remote!

{Zooms out showing that Peachy is watching Spyro on a bigger TV. Peachy reaches for the remote.}

SPYRO: {Apparently to Peachy getting increasingly angry} Hey-Hey-Hey-HEY! I said, don’t touch that remote.

PEACHY: {intimidated} Can I touch it for volume?

SPYRO: No! Don’t talk to the TV because there won’t be a response. We’ll be right back after these messages.

{Cuts to Hunter walking outside of the house getting the mail.}

HUNTER: Let’s see…{opens mailbox and takes out mail throwing all the ones he reads over his head} Electric Bill, Invitation to Bills birthday party, Duck Bill Cosmetic Surgery, Mario Bullet Bill newsletter-Jeeze. Can there be at least one thing that doesn’t have Bill in it’s name? {looks at more of the letters (still throwing them over his head)} Chain mail, Chain, Mail, Mail Chain-Hey! A package…Not for me {throws it far over his head.}

{Cuts to Spyro sitting in the backdrop room with the chair.}'

SPYRO: Hello everyone, and welcome back to-

{The box that Hunter threw breaks through the window and lands on Spyro’s lap}

SPYRO: {Surprised} Well, what do we have here? {He opens the box and pulls out a Hypnotists neck watch.} Well, would you look at this! {To camera} We have a change in the subject. {Runs off-screen}

{Cuts to Stinkoman standing around outside looking at nothing.}

SPYRO: {running on-screen} Hey, I need-um-{pause} What are you looking at?

STINKOMAN: Challenges.

SPYRO: Oh. Now, look at me.

STINKOMAN: {looks at him} Why?

SPYRO: {Gets out the neck watch and starts lets it swing sideways, and talks in a ghostly tone} You are getting very sleeeeepy.

STINKOMAN: {watching the watch, and mocks Spyro} No I am noooot.

SPYRO: {Ghostly tone} Well just pretend because there are cameras watching uuuuuuuuuus.

STINKOMAN: {Mocking Spyro} Uhh, Alriiiiiight!

SPYRO: {Stops tone} Good. Now fall asleep. {Snaps fingers (somehow because he doesn’t have fingers)}

{Stinkoman suddenly jerks his head backwards and falls asleep}

SPYRO: {Surprised} Wow. That was easy. {Ghostly tone} Now when I somehow snap my fingers, I want you to act like a giraaaaaaaffe! One…Two…Three! {Snaps fingers. Stinkoman continues sleeping} I saaaaid…three! {snaps fingers. Still no reaction.}

{Spyro walks off-screen annoyed. 5 seconds later he comes back with a blue electric guitar (with the strap around his neck) attached to a plugged amplifier. Spyro turns on the amplifier and cranks the volume to 10.}

SPYRO: As I was saying…three.

{Spyro plays a loud D cord not only waking Stinkoman up in shock screaming, but shaking the screen as well.}

SPYRO: Now, you will be a Giraffe when I say {Emphasizes the next phrase:} “The Magic Woooord”.

STINKOMAN: Is it Abra-Kadabra-Alakazam?

SPYRO: No.

STINKOMAN: {waving hands} Hocus Pocus?

SPYRO: {Getting Increasingly annoyed} No.

STINKOMAN: With the wave of my wand-

SPYRO: NO!

STINKOMAN: Uh, “And Bingo was his name, O”?

SPYRO: No, it’s “You will be a giraffe!”

{Stinkoman stiffens up while jumping in mid-air. Then he walks off-screen and comes back with a Tire Jack. He then puts it to his neck and starts jacking it up until his head is off-screen.}

SPYRO: Wow. It actually worked. Now lets see my list. {Gets out a list from his pocket and crosses out something}

{Cuts to an angle showing the list. It reads:

Drake (easy)
Peachy TV
Arielle Music
Bad Boy Computer
Stinkoman Hypnotism
Hunter Chain Mail
Sarah Not here
Alpha CT (Haven’t seen him in a while)
Marzichan (Who? I didn’t write this person.)
1-Up

Then it cuts back to a front view of Spyro looking at the list}

SPYRO: Hmm, I still have one more person to go. And that person is-

{Pans right showing that 1-Up was standing at a distance behind Spyro where 1-Up is blocked by Spyro’s body.}

1-UP: I want pudding!

SPYRO: {looking at the corners off his eyes trying to look at 1-Up} 1-Up.

{Cuts to where 1-Up is standing}

SPYRO: {Walking on-screen} Hey 1-Up! Would you mind {pulls a black and white illusions spiral pinwheel that’s moving.} looking at this black and white thing.

{Zooms into 1-Ups face slowly. As it zooms, 1-Up changes his mouth expression to smiling to frowning}

1-UP: {anxiously} Uhh, dot dot dot…What will happen?

SPYRO: {evil tone} You’ll see…

{Zooms into the upper half of 1-Up’s head. Then voices from a flashback are heard in his head.}

FLASHBACK 1-UP: {Voice} Ooh, what a perfect day! Hey, what’s that in the sky? Ooh! A black and white pinwheel!

MYSTERIOUS DARK VOICE: You will now like pudding…

FLASHBACK 1-UP: But I hate pudding…

MYSTERIOUS DARK VOICE: Look, who’s the evil voice in the sky trying to hypnotize you? Yeah. Me. Now you will be addicted to pudding.

FLASHBACK 1-UP: Yes master…

{Zooms back out of 1-Up’s head showing the view of Spyro and 1-Up.}

1-UP: {Terrified} NOOOOOOOO! I HATED PUDDING! {Kicks the pinwheel out of Spyro’s hand and runs off-screen screaming}

SPYRO: {Distorted evil Voice} He must be pinwheel’d. {Follows 1-Up}

{Cuts to 1-Up running through the halls of Spyro’s house}

1-UP: AHH! Which way to run?

{Cuts to a hall with the classic 7 door hall (3 on both sides, and sometimes one on the end, and even a ceiling and floor vent). 1-Up runs on-screen and stops and looks around.}

1-UP: Uh, which way?

{1-Up opens the bottom left door and runs in. Then Spyro walks on screen looks around and chooses the middle right door. Then Sarah ridding Melody (Drakes Cow from Experiment) walk out of the middle end door.}

SARAH: Boy Melody, that sure was a lot of milk we sold.

{Spyro and 1-Up open their door rooms they were in. They look at each other, 1-Up screams and closes the door with Spyro running to the door and opening it with Sarah and Melody watching blankly.}

SARAH: What the-Spyro attacking 1-Up? That never happens. We got to save him! Come on!

{Sarah jumps off Melody, and opens the door 1-Up was in. with Melody following. The following sequence with People coming out of and opening doors is as follows:

1. Spyro and 1-Up out of the Top left, and into the middle right.
2. Sarah out of the Bottom Right and follows 1-up and Spyro (Will always follow them).
3. Spyro and 1-Up falling down the vent and crashing on the floor, goes into the Middle Left.
4. Sarah coming out of the bottom vent and following 1-Up and Spyro.
5. Melody busting down the Top Left door and busts down the end middle door.
6. 1-Up coming out of the middle right door (walking on the ceiling) and goes into of the Bottom Left (the door opens by it’s self)
7. Spyro chasing Sarah out of the hallway and into the Middle Left door
8. 1-Up with Spyro ridding him Piggyback. 1-Up realizes and walks into the bottom vent with both of them falling

Then cuts to the outside wall of the house. 1-Up and Spyro slide out of it and land into a bush.}

1-UP: {Popping head out} Ow.

SPYRO: {Popping head out} Yeah. {Looks at 1-Up} Aha! I found you! And you will get it.

1-UP: {begging while walking backwards} Please. I’m just a kid maybe when I’m older.

SPYRO: {Hold up the pinwheel, and talks in a commanding voice} Now, WATCH!

1-UP: {Begging} NOOO-wait…{skeptical} Your not Spyro. Spyro sees black and white the opposite because of his reverse colored eyes.

SPYRO: So?

1-UP: You said black and white and not white and black. You’re an imposter!

{1-Up lunges forward and does a repeating punching motion on Spyro. Nothing happens}

SPYRO: Are you…Punching me?

1-UP: {Realizing} Oh yeah.

{1-Up kicks Spyro off-screen really hard. This is followed by a crash. Then 1-Up walks off-screen. Cuts to Spyro headfirst in a bush. 1-Up walks on-screen to Spyro.}

SPYRO: {Getting up} Ow. {Normal voice} What happened?

1-UP: You tried to hypnotize me. How don’t you remember?

SPYRO: All I remember is that I checked an email, and now I’m in a bush. {looks up} What the-

{Cuts to the Bad Graphics Ghost floating in mid air. Then it’s eyes glow red, and swoops away into the distance in a curvy motion. Then cuts back to 1-Up and Spyro looking in awe.}

SPYRO: What was that?

1-UP: I don’t know. Something related to pudding?

SPYRO: {realization} Wait, I know why!

{Fades White. Then cuts to a Flashback (with the border fluffy white) when Spyro was checking the email.}

SPYRO: {Voice over} It was in the email! In-Kirby-Cyborg-jlammy-subliminal!

{Zooms into the sentence with the In-Kirby message}

SPYRO: {Voice over} That was a subliminal message! It makes some Kirby cyborg go inside people like jlammy.

1-UP: {Voice over} But why? Something with pizza?

{Cuts back to Spyro and 1-Up}

SPYRO: {Pause} Perhaps it was The Noid.

{Zooms quickly into Spyro’s face with a shocked expression.}

SPYRO: {Voice over} Dun-Dun-Duuuuuun.

{Fades to black. The paper comes down}
