Transcript[]
(After a whole long adventure in the Dragon Realms, Spyro went all the way to Red's Laboratory as he found the Professor working on the computers and upgrading every gnorc in war to expand Red's army)
- Spyro: Professor, I finally found you! What were you thinking going after Red?
- Professor: I don't know! I thought I could stop him after you had weakened him, but as soon as I got here I was captured and locked in this lab. Red's forcing me to work on his new improved army. You know, better armor... extra brain capacity... that sort of thing. *see the gnorcs transforming to their battle armor suits* Oh Spyro, I seem to have made things a lot worse.
- Spyro: Hey, don't worry. I'll have you out of here as soon as I... *interrupted by Red's arrival*
- Red: *enter the room to confront Spyro and the Professor* Oh, how cosy! So Spyro, have you returned to fight me again?... and do you think I will allow you to win this time?
- Spyro: Yeah, whatever! You're not so much of a challenge. I'm sure I can do it again.
- Red: Ahh! Poor naïve Spyro... You obviously don't know that I always get my way.
- Spyro: Don't make me try to charge you.
- Red: Oh really? I have served many workers in this army. Trying to give them jobs and failed to accomplished on killing you and your kingdom. I fired them before I can freeze them off and use them as paperweights. How embarrassing. Not even one wacky bandicoot from another world can offer a job that eye ball on engines and mistaking my dark gems as power crystals of his. Just look. *point at Crash and Aku Aku investigating on the machines*
- Crash: Ooh. *touch the wires and get electrocuted* Ah! Wah wah!
- Aku Aku: Crash, stop! They are not toys to play with! Let it go!
- Crash: *stop getting electrocuted* Ooh?
- Aku Aku: Ugh. You don't know what to touch when you're realizing how dangerous these weapons can be, similar to Cortex's experiments to dominate the world.
- Red: Take him away! I don't want him on my sight. Ever again! Gosh, he has been pushing buttons lately, laying on the wrong lasers to zap against my Mergatroids.
- Aku Aku: Sorry about that, tall dragon. He doesn't know how to invent or use machines properly. He's not too crazy for inventing like his sister does.
- Crash: Ooh?
- Red: *open a portal to Crash's world* Now get out. Both of you. Go back to your humble jumble islands where you belong.
- Aku Aku: Let's go. This guy is a real pain in the petty neck as my brother Uka Uka.
- Crash: *he and Aku Aku emerge to the portal to their world* Ooh wee!
- Red: *close down the portal* Such a crazy guy I worked with.
- Professor: I felt bad for them after being tortured from all the hard condition work they caused in the lab.
- Spyro: A real shame a bunch of baddies from his world have stolen a lot of gems from me when Red was trying to take over the world at this time.
- Red: Pretty clever. Now where were we, young dragon?
(Spyro charges at Red and knocks him into a machine which turns him into a robot called Mecha-Red. Mecha-Red flies through the window into the arena, followed by Spyro to fight.)
- Professor: Leave it to me, Spyro! I've got him! *accidentally press the button to make Mecha-Red grow to a large size* Oops!
(After the fight with Red in the lab and shrinking him down to a smaller size, the world is at peace as we head over to the Dragon Village in the Professor's lab with the Professor working and Red still stuck in a jar, trying to get out due to being trapped inside)
- Red: *inside of a jar* Let me out! Let me out immediately! How dare you! You don't know who I am?!
- Professor: *work on the computer* Ah ha ha! Who knew this little guy can crack me up? Look like he won't be conquering the world forever. I just needed a new jump-start to work with and get back on my working records. We never knew when Red would return to persevere for more evil.
- Crash: *show up from a portal with Aku Aku and grab few power gems* He he!
- Aku Aku: How did we get here? Crash, stop picking on the power gems and let's go! We got a racing tournament to compete with!
- Crash: Woo-wee! *jump through a portal*
- Aku Aku: Wait! *annoyed* Oh Crash. You always get on my nerves when you're ahead of the team. *emerge to the portal*
- Professor: *chuckles and hold a light gem* Who needed a light gem when you're in the middle of protecting the world from darkness and chaos? *wink eye*
