(One day in a haunted forest at Mr. Crumb's house, Mr. Crumb woke up from his coach with a grumpy look on his face as he use his powers to wake up his henchman from their rooms.)

Mr. Crumb: WAKE UP!
Thorn Thing: *wake up* Huh, what?
Grumbler: *wake up* I'm hungry!
Mr. Crool: *wake up* Ha ha ha. I am alive!
Digger: *wake up and break a wall to see his boss along with everyone else* Good morning Mr. Crumb.
Mr. Crumb: Bad morning. How was I expected?
Digger: What do we expect from this day?
Mr. Crumb: I am planning to seek revenge on those bandicoots. I may put up a plan to use some tricks on those wacky little animals.
Thorn Thing: With gross things!
Grumbler: Mummy toilet paper!
Mr. Crool: A curse.
Digger: Mud coming out of the ground.
Mr. Crumb: I like your ideas. But I got something better.
Grumbler: What is a better one? Paper towels?
Mr. Crumb: You are going to love it as a scary movie. *open a portal with screams* The Dimension of Screams!
Mr. Crool: The Dimension of Screams? Awesome.
Thorn Thing: Totally nuts.
Mr. Crumb: This is where i would banish the bandicoots at the Dimension of Screams where they would be haunted by loads of screams for eternity!
Thorn Thing: Yeah bang! Just like we planned.
Mr. Crumb: *annoyed* Um, Thorn Thing. I actually planned it, not you.
Thorn Thing: Oh. My bad.
Mr. Crumb: Anyways, I got something special planned in the morning. When the bandicoots wake up, we'll throw them out of the Wumpa Islands.
Mr. Crool: Perfect planning.
Mr. Crumb: This is the only start of the trick. They will fall, we will rise to put an end to harmony and peace. *evil laugh*

(The next morning in the Wumpa Islands at the Bandicoots' House, Crash, Coco, Crunch and Tawna wake up as Aku Aku rise up from warping to check on the bandicoots.)

Aku Aku: Good morning bandicoots!
Crash: Whoa!
Coco: Morning Aku Aku.
Crunch: *lift some weights* Gotta keep my heights going.
Tawna: It is always a easy day to chill.
Aku Aku: Today we're going to have another day, am I right?
Coco: You are always right about that Aku Aku.
Crash: He he.
Aku Aku: I love you guys. Come on and have some breakfast.
Coco: Just like that.
Crash: Woo!
Polar and Pura: *play around with the ball*

(At the Dragon Realms, the dragons are seen flying by holding gem bags as some are on the ground, building lands and working in farms, shops and businesses. The Council of Elders, lead by Tomas walk in the top of the Dragon Temple, watching over their people with a statue of Ragnar shining by the light of the sun with birds landing and tweeting)

Tomas: Home Sweet Dragon Kingdom.
Magnus: Our heart of harmony.
Titan: The sun is always up to make us shine. I wonder why we keep doing it all the time?
Tomas: Every morning, we walk up to the dragons and guard like we're protecting the Dragon Realms.
Titan: Well, we should have protect the five lands of the Dragon Worlds instead!
Astor: Watch where your protecting you bum!
Titan: There is no need to insult me like that, big guy.
Astor: I'm ain't watching your feedback.
Cho Lei: Guys, wave at the people for giving us good luck.
Tomas: I'm cherish for a new world we're living in. Smile and wave dragons! *wave with his elders*
Cho Lei: Good pressure!

(At the Dragon Castles, Spyro, Sparx, Bianca and Hunter wake up as their clocks ring by hitting them off. As they got out of their beds, they walking into the kitchen, pouring some cereal in their bowls and toast up some bread in the toaster by placing their food on the table to eat.)

Spyro: Good morning. What a fresh of a start.
Bianca: Good thing I don't even have to work in a library today.
Hunter: Man, can this day get any better by not letting people push back their work schedules?
Bianca: Hunter, the guardians have the right to make up their own decisions and we are the ones to do all the work the Council of Elders gave us to do.
Hunter: It doesn't have to be Tomas way. Why can't it be Nestor?
Spyro: Nestor is the leader of the Artisans. He has to watch over what the Artisans do for him.
Hunter: I mean, we can paint, crave some rocks and cook up the food at the cafeteria in Town Square.
Spyro: Nothing is gonna clock us out, right Sparx?
Sparx: You got me right about that.
Spyro: That's what I like about a companion. *fist bump Sparx*
Sparx: Wee.
Bianca: Just a little more magic. *turn a bread into a apple with her magic* Much better.
Hunter: Aw sweet. Wish it was potato chips or nachos.
Bianca: Hunter, it's breakfast. You can't eat those for your diet.
Hunter: Come on Bianca. I always get what i wanted for breakfast. I ate a pizza once in the morning last Sunday.
Bianca: Well, you shouldn't be eating what is on the menu for your records.
Hunter: Then why people choose ham, cheese, eggs, waffles, pancakes and french toasts as their most important meals for breakfast over the ones they avoid to call them junk like tacos, noodles and even hot chicken wings.
Bianca: Watch your diet Hunter. You been working out at the Cheetah Spot Spa all year long.
Hunter: You can't put me on the fitness program next October. How about that?
Sparx: They always keep fighting.
Spyro: Always will on their decisions Sparx.

(Back at Mr. Crumb's house, Mr. Crumb and his henchmen use a crystal ball with magic to locate around the Wumpa Islands to search for the bandicoots)

Mr. Crumb: Where could the baby bandicoots be? Can you boys help?
Thorn Thing: There's one pointing to the sharp mountains.
Mr. Crumb: No. Wrong. That's The Great Gate. We need something more convenient to track down those bandicoots.
Mr. Crool: Find the nearest house around the tribe village.
Mr. Crumb: No human natives or jungle spirits are on the run.
Grumbler: Wrap some tape!
Mr. Crumb: I can't wrap up the whole island with tape.
Digger: Dig some more!
Mr. Crumb: *sense another universe on the crystal ball* What is this?
Digger: What do you mean, "What is this?"
Mr. Crool: We are approaching another universe my lord.
Mr. Crumb: *look around the Dragon Realms on the crystal ball* Ah ha! A dragon world! Never expect a dragon world to be seen. How about I send this dragon straight to the bandicoots to burn up the bandicoots' house! Then, he will bring me the food to us and we then take over the islands and rule it with all the monsters and creatures alike.
Thorn Thing: I love it!
Grumbler: What does the dragon look like?
Mr. Crumb: *show a illusion of Spyro* This is what a dragon look like. And I want him to teach those bandicoots a lesson!
Thorn Thing: We know what we're gonna do.
Mr. Crumb: Yes. Starting now. We'll bring this creature into the bandicoots' home!
Mr. Crool: Ah ha! Do it Crumb!
Mr. Crumb: At your service. *use his powers to open a wormhole to the Dragon Realms*

(Back at the Dragon Castles, Bianca and Hunter are still arguing while Spyro and Sparx watch the conversation with Hunter and Bianca at the table)

Bianca: Maybe you shouldn't slow down your record if you don't follow up your errands.
Hunter: I know my errands. I do these tasks every day.
Spyro: Keeping up with the errands, huh?
Sparx: A whole new level of tasks.

(A wormhole open up in the ceiling of the Dragon Castles)

Spyro: What the?
Sparx: What's that?
Bianca: Is that a hole to another dimension?
Hunter: It screams in fear!
Spyro: *he and Sparx get sucked up to the wormhole* Ahh!
Hunter: Spyro!
Bianca: Hold on!
Hunter: *grab Bianca* No Bianca! You'll get killed out there!
Bianca: It's a portal! I gotta go save him!
Hunter: Just because it's a portal doesn't mean it's a entrance. *see the wormhole close down*
Bianca: Oh great Hunter. Now you missed my chance on trying to save Spyro.
Hunter: We're off to see the Professor then.
Bianca: You're wasting my time off.
Mr. Crumb: *at his house* Yes! Finally! I'm bringing the dragon into the bandicoots' home. *evil laugh*

(Back at the Bandicoot's House, Crash, Coco, Crunch and Tawna eat some waffles and pancakes while serving some wumpa juice at the table)

Coco: Eat up, drink up.
Crash: *eat the pancakes* Woo hoo!
Crunch: These yummy flappy pancakes are giving me a sweet time.
Tawna: Is it me or does these pancakes look like flat cakes to you?
Crunch: They're just pancakes. Cooked up from a pan.
Tawna: I get that.
Aku Aku: A sweet meal is in your hands.
Coco: Thank you Aku Aku for preparing everything we need for our breakfast.
Aku Aku: You're welcome.
Crash: *drink some wumpa juice*

(A wormhole open as Spyro and Sparx crash in the Bandicoot's House with the wormhole closing down with everyone shocked by the arrival of Spyro and Sparx)

Crash: *shocked* Whoa!
Coco: What the?
Spyro: *get up* How did we get into this mess?
Sparx: Wait, we're in the Bandicoot's house.
Coco: Hello there. How did you get in here?
Spyro: Oh, it's you guys! I shouldn't be in here right now. So I better be going.
Crunch: Wait! Where are you rushing?
Spyro: I don't know. I crashed out of nowhere. Is someone planning to put a trick on me?
Tawna: First of all, you're in another dimension. And second, you must be overreacting on your quest.
Spyro: Overreacting? But i'm not on a quest.
Tawna: Silly you. You may crashed out of your own time. Or you must be trying to give us help to defeat your arch-nemesis.
Spyro: I'm in the wrong kind of place right now. We should set up a play date someday. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Aku Aku: Uh, we didn't get what you're saying.
Spyro: What?
Sparx: There are no threats or any harm of risks right now. We're all good.
Aku Aku: Where's your map.
Spyro: Um?

(Mr. Crumb and his henchmen are feeling confused on why Spyro and Sparx aren't attacking the bandicoots and Aku Aku, but watching them have a conversation which lead to their problem at the house)

Mr. Crumb: What are they doing?! They're suppose to fight!
Thorn Thing: It's not meant to happen!
Digger: They're talking.
Grumbler: The dragon didn't burn them to meat cuts!
Mr. Crumb: Oh well. That didn't go out well. Maybe i'll have to make an appearance in person myself.
Mr. Crool: Mr. Crumb, wait!
Mr. Crumb: Don't worry. We'll all go together and put a spell on them.
Thorn Thing: Yes!
Grumbler: Trickery will work!
Mr. Crumb: *open up a portal* Follow me. We got some spooky business to work on.
Digger: Let's play a little game of trick or treat!

(A portal open up again in the Bandicoot's House with the arrival of Mr. Crumb and his gang)

Crash: Uh oh.
Spyro: What in the world is that thing in the hole?
Coco: Could it be?
Mr. Crumb: *show up from a portal with a laugh*
Crash: Ah!
Coco: It's Mr. Crumb!
Spyro: Mr. Crumb? Who is that?
Mr. Crumb: Hello there my fellow Bandicoots. It is good to all see you again. I see you all have new friends on your side. We haven't gotten a fight around the haunted woods since 1998.
Coco: Oh yeah. Wait 'til we get rid of you!
Mr. Crumb: In fact, I have friends that you guys will be coming. *call out his friends* Come over here. No need to be shy on the other side.
Thorn Thing: *show up with his friends* He heh heh. Someone will pay the price for a salvation.
Digger: A simple calculus in need.
Grumbler: Your house is finite.
Mr. Crool: Who's the scary mask now?
Sparx: Scary little creatures.
Polar and Pura: *hide together*
Tawna: Stay together. We'll take these creeps now together.
Crunch: Alright!
Crash: Grr!
Spyro: Horn your horns and ears up. We're getting fired up for battle.
Mr. Crumb: Time to play my little game of tricks! *shoot dark magic at Crash*
Crash: *spin the dark magic on Mr. Crumb*
Mr. Crumb: Gah!
Spyro: *torch Grumbler*
Grumbler: *burn* My tape!
Coco: *punch and kick Thorn Thing*
Thorn Thing: Not on the wood!
Crunch: *block Digger* Not a chance.
Digger: Get outta the way.
Aku Aku: *laser at Mr. Crool* Ha!
Mr. Crool: *laser to block the attack from Aku Aku* Can't defeat the mask.
Aku Aku: 'Scue me?
Mr. Crool: You won't win this one.
Mr. Crumb: *lift up haunted pumpkins all over the place*
Coco: What is going on?
Tawna: Monsters!
Spyro: They're all pumpkins! *break a pumpkin* And they scream like zombies!
Sparx: I'll cover you up!
Mr. Crumb: Now for the final trick. The end!
Tawna: The end to end all worlds?
Mr. Crumb: Uh, the secret exit to the deadly world alive. *open a portal to the Dimension of Screams* The Dimension of Screams!
Spyro: Not again, it's going to suck us all up to the screaming dimension.
Mr. Crumb: Your grins shall become grimaces when I banish you to the Dimension of Screams! Now push! *push the wind to make the heroes go into the portal*
Crash: *fall to a portal* Ah!
Coco: Crash!
Crunch: Brother!
Aku Aku: Not again.
Spyro: It can't be. I'm getting flashbacks. Wait a minute! Are you the one that suck me into their house, leading to trap my friends over to that stinkin' world?
Mr. Crumb: Yes. Off you go little dragon. *use a golf stick to hit Spyro*
Spyro: *scream with Sparx into the portal*
Mr. Crumb: *watch his enemies fall into the portal to the Dimension of Screams as the portal closes down* Yes! At last! I finally banish them all to my little scream world!
Thorn Thing: We won!
Grumbler: YEAH!!!
Digger: We done well, folks.
Mr. Crool: Now that you got rid of the bandicoots, what will you do now?
Mr. Crumb: This time, i will not take over this house. But the whole island itself. *sense Cortex from far away in the castle*
Cortex: *voice* Yes! My plans are almost complete... and I have you, bandicoots, to thank for!
Mr. Crumb: *furious* Those hypocrites.
Thorn Thing: What your signal is leading to?
Mr. Crumb: If he's after the bandicoots, then i'm after the bandicoots too.
Grumbler: What will you do to the vision sense you got?
Mr. Crumb: I'm going to put up a trick on him and ruined his life. Suck him to the Dimension of Screams like I did to the bandicoots and dragon. Let's go!
Mr. Crool: Alright.
Mr. Crumb: His castle is the perfect place to take over the world in my image and name.

(At Gnorc Gnexus, Gnasty Gnorc is seen on his castle training his gnorcs in the battlefield as Red is seen flying over to recruit him in his battles)

Gnasty Gnorc: *train the gnorcs by punching and hitting them* Yeah! Come on! Let's go! Boom! You got this, champ. I wanna see you do some push-ups and sweat like puppies. I'm watching you like masterminds.
Red: *land on the ground* Hello Gnasty Gnorc.
Gnasty Gnorc: *roar* Red?
Red: We got some serious business to catch on.
Gnasty Gnorc: What kind of serious business? I hope it's not another threat the dragons are trying to put on my kingdom.
Red: Today is the day that we riot at the Dragon Kingdom and take over what theirs. We'll also defeat the Council of Elders and claim their realms as yours.
Gnasty Gnorc: As a honor, i will be proudly present to strike my return and set up a new reign to kill all the dragons. A new era will be born in ugliness.
Red: *his staff's gem started glowing* What's this? The gem on my staff is signaling a new threat.
Gnasty Gnorc: I mean, it's not observing a whole new level to unleash a whole bunch of shadow monsters from the Shadow Realms.
Red: If it's a message, then we report to your room.
Gnasty Gnorc: Something got a bad feeling about this...

(Meanwhile, Crash and Spyro's gang are falling into the Dimension of Screams as they crash into a floating land with a red sky with screaming mask spirits floating all over the clouds as the world is designed with haunted trees, sharp rocks, a spooky swamp all over the place and a whole bunch of ugliness put into the universe)

Spyro: What happen? Why it's all red? Is this Jacques' world?
Crash: *feared and scared at the same time* Aw......aw....aw.
Crunch: Where are we?
Coco: We're not home anymore.
Tawna: We're in some kind of scary world.
Sparx: I hear voices.
Aku Aku: Background noises.
Spyro: We must be in some sort of dimension-
Everyone: Of screams! *see a horde of screams floating all over the skies*
Crash: *scream and run*
Aku Aku: Crash! Wait up!
Spyro: We gotta get outta here. This is one dangerous world we're in.
Coco: We'll find a way out no matter what.
Crunch: Keep going. The nightmare won't stop 'til we get out.

(The gang keep on running as they pass by tombstones, graves, traps, pillars and climb through walls to escape from mummies, zombies, bats, demons, devils and griffins flying all over the sky. The gang hide over the rocks and head underground as they slide through waterfalls and crash into the dungeon, landing on the dock side of the land)

Spyro: That was one weird joyride.
Coco: It's not a joyride. This is Hell!
Crunch: What is going on around here?
Aku Aku: We may be stuck in some sort of dimension-
Spyro: Okay! We get it. We got sucked in Mr. Crumb's Dimension of Screams cause, this dimension screams out for your lives like we're in some kind of horror movie.
Crunch: There is a cave in every room like a child's play.
Coco: No sock puppets or clones are going to pull our backs on us.
Tawna: Try going through one of the rooms to see if we find a way out of this universe.
Spyro: *gulp* I am not ready for this.
Sparx: It's like being stuck on a TV where a scary movie is playing.

(Crash went into one room through a horror movie setting screen as Crash walk into the bedroom, looking for a key as he open through a closet with skeletons coming out, screaming on Crash with Crash running out of the room with the skeletons chasing after him. Coco is on a crystal setting where she is on a maze, trying to get out of the crystal maze.)

Coco: This room is made out of blue and green crystals. It even got a wall. *hear crystal zombies coming out of the mazes* Zoinks! Gotta run! *run away from the zombie crystals* Crunch, Tawna, Spyro, whatever you are, HELP!!!

(Crunch is on a silent city in a 50s screen setting, all alone and looking for answers to strive his way out)

Crunch: Hello? Is anyone there? Jeez, I thought I was the only bandicoot living in a silent detective series setting. Better find my way out. *enter inside of the office and open through drawers in desks* Let me see. Where could the clues be at to find my way out of here? *open up a vault to hold a gem* Ah ha. The lucky gem is in the house! *see a door open with a illusion of Pinstripe Potoroo coming out* What the Pinstripe?
Pinstripe: Heh heh heh. You in the wrong side of town, bulk. Forget about it, i'm going to shoot you away for this! *hold a Tummy gun to shoot bullets everywhere at Crunch* Come and get it, pal!
Crunch: Holy smoke! Gotta run! *run away*
Pinstripe: Come back here! What about my mafia? My contract? Gosh darn you.

(Tawna is in a dark abandon room, resembling the CTR TV station as she walk up to the garage where she see broken karts and pictures of her team dressed in doll clothes)

Tawna: What is this? This doesn't look like the kart garage to me. *see illusions of Ami, Megumi, Liz and Isabella show up in front of Tawna* What the?
Ami: Come race with us Tawna.
Megumi: We have your sport.
Tawna: No. You're not real. *hold a trophy to point at the girls* You're not the real Nitro Squad.
Liz: Oh yes we are. Chick and Stew really miss you on our races.
Isabelle: One race ahead of time.
Tawna: No, NO! *see the girls open their mouths with sharp fangs to scream out to her* They're fake. Better get out of this nightmare! *run off*
Ami: Get her ladies. *chase after Tawna with her squad*

(Spyro, Polar, Pura, Sparx and Aku Aku are walking into cavern to search a way out of the dimension)

Spyro: Stay in cover you guys. There is no need to be scared.
Polar and Pura: *fear of the skulls on the wall*
Sparx: It's okay to be scared.
Aku Aku: There is no need to rush for. Stay calm.
Spyro: *see sharps coming out of the ground* That's not good. Stampede! *run with his team*
Aku Aku: I told you. This hollow dimension isn't a good idea.
Sparx: It's a curse, it'a a trap!
Spyro: It is a trap to me!

(Spyro's gang jump out of the cavern as the team land outside of the haunted forest with Crash, Coco, Crunch and Tawna joining in, being chased by their followers going after them in the haunted forest)

Pinstripe: Where is my contract paper?!
Liz: Your mum's an armadillo for dinner!
Spyro: What the? Why the raid for?
Coco: They're all illusions.
Crunch: Which means, it's a fake!
Tawna: That's right! We're trying to get out of this trick world as soon as possible!
Aku Aku: *see the world glowing in lights* The world is starting to change. Hold on together as a group!
Crash: *scream out of the group*
Spyro: Crash, come back!
Coco: Boys!
Crunch: Stay together!
Tawna: Ugh, do we have to do this all along?! *see the world breaking apart in illusions* What the width?

(The gang started to fall through time and space, falling on magical energy, falling in the astral form of organisms where their spirits detached from physical bodies, crashing on mirrors through glass, falling on unending cavernous tunnels with fingers coming out and out on landscapes, swirling in a dark world through darkness, landing on screaming souls and falling their fate into the black hole. The gang then fall and land on the void side of the Dimension of Screams, waking up in a forest of terror where all the trees are wicked, haunted and have no leaves holding through the roots.)

Spyro: What a dream-turned nightmare.
Crash: *spit out grapes*
Coco: That was a trainwreck.
Crunch: Hot garbage it is.
Tawna: That's it. It's over! We're leaving! Where's the exit?
Aku Aku: Tawna, there is no exit. We're stuck in the void side of the world!
Tawna: In the void? What did you say?!
Sparx: It gotta be sacred. There's no way out until the gods come at us and pick us up where we left off.
Spyro: Aw man. This is all my fault. I should have burn the ghost skeleton in the first place if it weren't for his so-little Dimension of Screams!
Aku Aku: It's not your fault Spyro. It's nobody's fault either.
Tawna: Hey! *point her ears* Listen. You know you can warp, right? Now take us home where we're having breakfast.
Aku Aku: Suddenly, i can't. My powers are too weak for this world and none of us can get contract on getting out on this nightmare dimension.
Crunch: Then how long is this universe to get out?!

(Suddenly, laughing souls pop out of nowhere, forming illusions of Ripto, Crush, Gulp, Geary, the Evil Twins and Madame Amberley pop up to face Crash and Spyro's team)

Spyro: What. The.
Ripto: *laugh* Ah ha ha ha ha ha! We're here!
Crush: You look like a fresh diet out of meat!
Gulp: I'm hungry for a pickle!
Tawna: Oh no. Not again. They're all fake.
Geary: You're all garbage! I'm going to clean you all up and throw you into the dump!
Aku Aku: They're illusions of our enemies from the past!
Victor: Treat or treat, smell my feet!
Moritz: I'm going to make you a nice stuffing of pie!
Madame Amberley: You have failed your exam on science madness. Now you're getting an F!
Coco: Oh boy.
Crunch: They're not real people. We better fight them off to get out of this world.
Ripto: Lunch time ladies and gentleman. Eat up!
Spyro: Here we go. *fight Ripto*
Crush: *use his chicken wing to slam down on Coco*
Coco: *dodge and kick Crush*
Crunch: *scream and push Gulp*
Gulp: Let go.
Crunch: I'm not letting you go.
Geary: *use his vacuum nozzle to shoot fireballs* Eat some fireballs or get demolished!
Tawna: *kick back Madame Amberley*
Madame Amberley: Urgh! You're getting a zero!
Tawna: You're not quite on giving me a bad grade.
Crash: *spin out the magic to blast at Ripto*
Ripto: Darn it double drat! I hate these bandicoots and dragons. GACK!!!
Aku Aku: Ha ha. Keep on losing.
Sparx: *taunt at Ripto*

(Back at the Dragon Realms, Hunter and Bianca arrive at the Professor's lab as the Professor, Elora, Blink and Zoe greet them at the front door)

Professor: Hello there my friends. Are you up for some science?
Bianca: No Professor. We need help. Our friend got stuck by a wormhole that he's struggling to get out.
Professor: Oh no. What can we do about it?
Blink: It's some bad luck around here.
Hunter: Sparx also got stuck too. Is there any way we can go to save them from the nasty world?
Zoe: What is the nasty world they got stuck to?
Elora: Anything you ask for, but the Shadow Realm.
Bianca: I know what we can do to locate Spyro and Sparx around the multiverse cycle.
Professor: Correction! We can use the multiverse screen to locate our friends on where they are.
Bianca: We better rescue them or else.
Hunter: We have to work now to find Spyro and Sparx. They have been missing since we ate breakfast.
Professor: Just follow me to the computer and we'll get started!
Hunter: Okay! Sorry to rush you away from your work.
Professor: No worries. *turn on the computer and locate Spyro and Sparx around the multiverse* There's plenty of worlds to go to where our friends are hiding.
Elora: Hope my boy is alive somewhere in the deep side of the multiverse.

(At Gnasty Gnorc's castle, Gnasty Gnorc and Red hold their staff to sense a signal on the heroes' location)

Gnasty Gnorc: What it's doing?
Red: It's just a staff! It's not some sort of toy to hang around like a cane. Pay attention to your senses!
Gnasty Gnorc: Are we going to do this or what?
Red: *facepalm* You don't get my drift. If this lead to some scary world, i know what we're gonna do to the scary world. *see his staff open up a portal to the Dimension of Screams* What the?
Gnasty Gnorc: Amazing. Fantastic. Cringy.
Red: Yes! The spot where our enemies are fighting. The dark world. *laugh*

Cortex: *evil laugh* Boys, we got the perfect secret weapon on our hands.
N. Gin: Ah yeah!
N. Brio: It's going to be sweet.
Cortex: My next step is to destroy the islands and rule it over my commands.
N. Tropy: You're going to need a bigger weapon.
Cortex: In space, no one can hear you scream.
N. Tropy: You know this is going to bomb the whole planet out and we people inside would be dead alive!
Cortex: Dead alive, my butt! Ha! Is this what you got?
N. Tropy: Don't make me choke you.
N. Gin: You two been fighting for so long.
N. Brio: I don't get the negatively around here.

Cortex: *scream* What is that?!
Uka Uka: Uh oh, bad people alert!
Mr. Crumb: Well, well, well. I see what you're doing.
Cortex: Uh, "Hello! My name is Dr. Neo Cortex. I am here to proudly present my evil lab to all of my employees alike! Join now as we begin to conquer the whole universe together!
Mr. Crumb: Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to jiggle that sweet meat right off your bones!
Cortex: What?
N. Tropy: It's a trap! Don't let it get any closer.
Mr. Crumb: If you don't follow my orders, I am going to have to haunt you for the rest of your lives and use your place to take over the Earth.
Cortex: No! He's not going to let his crew take over the world first. We took over first!
Mr. Crumb: After them, men!
Cortex: My team, seize them!

Mr. Crumb: Time to die by the wrath of my hand!

Aku Aku: Oh lord, you are no good than your ancestors!
Gnasty Gnorc: The gnorc is still on the run. I'm back!
Ripto: Move out of the way folks. We have a fight to finish!
Red: Hmm, something fishy about this universe. *feel the enemies' illusions* Fake it is.
Gnasty Gnorc: They're ghosts. What should we do?
Red: I'm going to bring back a long time enemy that the bandicoots and Spyro have faced this summer. *form the illusions into Dark Spyro*
Spyro: Oh no. Not again.
Dark Spyro: *laugh* I am back! Hello Spyro. Long time no see.
Spyro: You are a fake and you are made out of dark magic.

Spyro: What the? *hit Dark Spyro* The ghost is still here? This is a threat to our adventure! *continue fighting Dark Spyro*
Mr. Crumb: It seem you made it to the dead end which is the void. You'll never live out a happy life until you challenge me to a battle.
Aku Aku: Bring it on Mr. Crumb: It's time to overcome our faces and face your fears in your little trick universe.

Mr. Crumb: This time. I won. I won the battle. What a wrap up for a party. This is a sweet revenge to my loss thirteen years ago.
Spyro: *show up* Stop! *flame at Mr. Crumb*
Mr. Crumb: No! The dragon got me.
Spyro: You can't mess with me, or the flame.
Mr. Crumb: Grrrr. You are so weak like your dad.

(Back at the Dragon Realms in the Professor's lab, Bianca, Hunter and the group are trying to locate Spyro and Sparx through the computer as they spot a world behind theirs)

Bianca: The signal started to beep through ours.
Hunter: Copy that.
Professor: We must be approaching a universe towards ours.
Zoe: But what could it be?
Blink: *locate the Dimension of Screams* It's the Dimension of Screams*
Elora: Holy cucumbers. This is really a world Spyro and Sparx must have gone stuck to.
Bianca: Which means, we gotta save them before they get haunted down by scary hands and creepy pumpkins.
Professor: This is it. Let's go rescue Spyro and bring him back over to the Dragon Realms.
Hunter: *press the button to open up a portal to the Dimension of Screams* This is where we see our spots* Let's go.
Bianca: It's time.

Gnasty Gnorc: *scream and slam his club to cause and earthquake*
Coco: Hold on!

Red: Where is Spyro? He's not coming back, nor Crash.
Hunter: I know he's in there. Where is he? Answer! *hold his arrow at Gnasty Gnorc*
Gnasty Gnorc: He must be sleeping inside the house.

Blink: Where is Spyro?
Gnasty Gnorc: Who is Spyro?
Red: Why is Spyro?!

(Crash and Spyro arrive from breaking in the house with Spyro throwing Mr. Crumb on the ground after a long battle)

Everyone: *except Red and Gnasty Gnorc* Spyro!
Aku Aku: Crash.
Crash: He he.
Red: Huh?
Mr. Crumb: *try to get up* Ow. Not the cramble to the big defeat. I refuse to lose.
Spyro: *horn dive on Mr. Crumb* I got you this time, bread.
Hunter: Spyro!
Professor: My boy! You have finally returned.
Tawna: We also got Crash back.
Crash: He he.
Red: Impossible.
Gnasty Gnorc: No way!
Sparx: Glad to have you two back.
Spyro: We finally got rid of Mr. Crumb's schemes. That nasty little skeleton ghost will never put a spell on us ever again in the multiverse.
Crunch: After the Dimension of Screams, what's next? A Multiverse of Madness?
Coco: Or a Omniverse of Terror.
Professor: I never seen you guys lift up your heroic acts to face the biggest monster of all.
Elora: You totally earned our respects.
Blink: Kudos.
Spyro: I can never really get this through on fighting the biggest bad guys in the world.
Red: That's it! I'm outta here. We will get you next time on the day we come back, Crash and Spyro! *open a portal and leave the Dimension of Screams with Gnasty Gnorc*
Gnasty Gnorc: It's all a dragon's fault. *leave with Red*
Mr. Crumb: Come back! No! You better get over here or i'll rip your world apart!
Spyro: Let's go home and celebrate. That nasty Mr. Crumb doesn't know how to handle his defeat.
Coco: Right back at it.
Bianca: Come on. We got some fruits and desserts to feast on.
Crash: Food!
Sparx: Oh yeah. *he and his group leave the Dimension of Screams and jump into the Professor's lab*
Mr. Crumb: *see the portal close down* Darn those animals. I'll be back with a new trick of a new plan.

(After the madness in the Dimension of Screams, Crash and Spyro's gang celebrate in the Professor's lab by eating some fruits, cakes, pancakes, cupcakes and ice cream sandwiches at the table with Moneybags serving some lemonade)

Moneybags: Lemonade! Only five gems each. Not a rip off.
Bianca: When you can shoot out magic, you make a notebook out of a spellbook.
Hunter: A cheetah never flies solo on his adventures. Am I right?
Tawna: You even got a mystery on your hands.
Blink: I can barely dig underground with my bare hands like a mole does.
Zoe: But you are a mole.
Blink: Aw. I wish I was a meerkat, digging tunnels to hide from hyenas.
Elora: One day, i'm going to get myself a new tree home in Glimmer.
Coco: When I can still construct, i'll still make some laptops for a living.
Crunch: I gotta get my training program going.
Polar and Pura: *play with the yarn ball together on the floor*
Spyro: *slurp some wumpa whip* It taste just like a blue slurpee.
Aku Aku: Made with ice and juice. You really deserve some treats after the nightmare battle.
Spyro: I know a dragon never give up on its wings, right Sparx?
Sparx: Always a right question.
Spyro: I'm just getting started on my new training skills. Even Crash can dodge a bunch of crates, right?
Crash: He he. *wink an eye at the camera*

(Back at Cortex's Castle in the rehab room, Cortex try to lift up his knees, only for Uka Uka to use his magic on him on the bed)

Uka Uka: Lift your knees up.
Cortex: Come on Uka Uka! You're only doing this to annoy me like all the time!
Uka Uka: Stretch out like a dog!
Cortex: *hurt his knees* Ouch! My knees! My knees!
Uka Uka: You need a break from taking over the world.
Cortex: How much I hate these long-distance battles from enemies all over the world. I'll never win the world a prize. *faint down*

Have a Spooky Night
