The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is a 2008 video game and the third and final game in the "Legend of Spyro" trilogy.

Dialogue[edit]

[First lines. An eagle is flying over the remains of the Well of Souls]
Ignitus: [Narrating] Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. But sometimes fear clouds our vision. Sometimes our strength gives out. And yet sometimes, when all seems lost, a light shines through the darkness, and we are reminded that even the smallest amount of courage can turn the tides of war.

Grublin: We're here.
[The Grublins approach the Time Crystal that Spyro, Sparx and Cynder are frozen in]
Hero Orc: Break it.
[One of the Grublins hits the crystal with his club, causing it to start glowing]
Cynder: Spyro, stop!
Spyro: I... I can't. Get close to me, now!
[The crystal breaks apart, leaving the frozen trio lying unconscious on the floor]
Hero Orc: Shackle them!
[The Grublins open a box containing 2 green snakes, which they place around Spyro and Cynder's necks. The Grublins then take Spyro and Cynder away, leaving Sparx to be found by Hunter]

Cynder: Spyro, Spyro, open your eyes. Get up!
Spyro: Cynder, what happened? Where are we?
Cynder: I don't know. It's all a blur.
Spyro:: Yeah, me too. My head's pounding
Cynder: Shhh. Wait! that's not your head. I hear it too.
Spyro: What is that? Sparx, is that you?
[The torches light up, revealing several grublins surrounding them]
Cynder: For once, I wish it was. What are they doing?
Spyro: Let's not stick around to find out. Come on!
[Spyro and Cynder try to leave, but the Snake Chain stops them from leaving]
Cynder: Argh! What's your problem?!
Spyro and Cynder: Oh. This can't be good.

Hero Orc: They're awake. Don't let them escape!

Spyro: This chain is slowing us down! We can't fight it! We'll have to move in unison. Follow my lead!
Cynder: Why should you lead?
Spyro: Uh, oh... Take cover!
[Spyro and Cynder avoid being crushed by the Earth Golem's hand]
Cynder: Okay... good idea... you lead.

[Hunter appears and shoots an arrow into the Earth Golem's eye, causing it to retreat]
Sparx: Hey, Spyro, man, you're alive.
Spyro: Sparx! It's good to see you too! You okay?
Sparx: Huh, you know, little stiff, voice keeps changing, but I'm good.
Cynder: Hey, this reunion is touching and everything, but shouldn't we be going, unless you want to wait for that thing to climb back up. I'd hate to think what it might do to Sparx.
Spyro: [Looking at Hunter] Who is he?
Sparx: I don't know. All he said was "Shhh, you're making too much noise".
Cynder: I like him already.

Hunter: Spyro, Cynder, how do you feel? Anything broken?
Spyro: Shaken a little, but not too badly... thanks to you.
Hunter: [Sighs] I am relieved. I had feared I might be too late. My name is Hunter.
Spyro: Hunter... You've been tracking me.
Hunter: For far too long, friend. When you didn't return to the temple. the elder dragon, Ignitus, sent me to find you. That was nearly three years ago.
Spyro: What? Three years? But... that's impossible!
Hunter: Yes, I'm sure this news comes as quite a shock. Forgive me for the brevity of my explanation, but this is not the place to account for missing time.
[The entrance that Spyro and Cynder came through collapses]
Hunter: We are not safe here. Follow me!

Spyro: Hunter, give us a moment to gather our strength.
Sparx: You might want to stand back. This can get weird.
Hunter: It is fascinating... how your kind draws strength from these crystals. Dragons are truly remarkable.
Sparx: Yeah, you say that now, until one tries to kill you. And by "one", I mean her. [Points at Cynder]
Cynder: [Glares at Sparx]
Hunter: I am aware of Cynder's past. But Ignitus trusts her, and that's good enough for me.
Spyro: Go on, Cynder.
[Both Spyro and Cynder touch the green crystal, causing an image of the Chronicler to appear]
Chronicler: Spyro, as a rare purple dragon, you can wield many abilities that others cannot. Now it is time to awaken these powers within you; fire, electricity, ice and earth. Cynder, while most other dragons can master only a single element, your exposure to the darkness has gifted you with abilities most uncommon; poison, fear, wind and shadow.

Spyro: [Looking at a Dark Crystal] What is that? I've never seen one like that before.
Cynder: Spyro! Be careful!
Hunter: It isn't natural. That crystal radiates with dark magic. Destroy it quickly!

Hunter: We are close to the surface. It's best we remain unheard.
Sparx: Alright, big cheetah man! I get the message. Sheesh!

Hunter: The horn... It must be part of some sort of locking mechanism.
Sparx: Honestly... why not just a lock and key like normal folks?
Hunter: Look around. There must be something we can use to lower it.

[After catching up with Hunter, they all went towards a clearing within the forest. Moments later, Hunter was seen with a falcon perched onto his arm]
Hunter: Go. Tell Ignitus I have found them. [Hunter outstretched his arm and the falcon flew away]
[Meanwhile, Spyro and Cynder were trying to remove the tether with little success]
Cynder: [agitated] Ah, it's no use...
Spyro: Well, maybe if we try twisting it...
Cynder: [turns to Spyro] Twist what? It's magic!
[Both dragons walked towards Hunter. Sparx soon followed them, amused by their recent actions]
Sparx: Hehe... I can watch this all day.
[Once they reached Hunter, they stopped and looked out into the distance. A volcano can be seen blazing menacingly]
Spyro: The Dark Master... he's returned, hasn't he?
Hunter: I am afraid so... just shortly after your disappearance. He struck quickly, fueled by hatred and malice, reclaiming the throne at the temple, which through some dark magic he now suspends above the land... a symbol of his dominance. We've been at war ever since. And every day, his forces grow stronger, and ours lose hope. [As he spoke, a campfire was set up around the group off-camera]
Spyro: [subdued] I failed... they were all counting on me and I failed. How could I let this happen?!
Cynder: Some things are beyond your control. You shouldn't blame yourself.
Hunter: Spyro, you're lucky to be alive, all of you. That was no ordinary creature back there. It was an ancient earth golem from the deep. They are the embodiment of destruction summoned by Malefor himself. These are dark times.
Spyro: He needs to be stopped. I have to stop him.
Sparx: [panicked] Woah, woah woah woah! Slow down, tough guy. We don't need to go around picking fights. I mean, we just woke up after being frozen for three years... got stuff to do. [All of a sudden, a green energy blast was shot from out of nowhere, striking Cynder's face and knocking her out] What the? Is she sleepy? [Spyro and Hunter noticed another blast coming towards them] Hey! [The blast struck Spyro in the face, knocking him out as well. Sparx shuffled around anxiously, before turning in the direction of one coming towards him off-screen. The scene then runs in slow motion] Noooooo!

[The scene transitions to the next day, at a village in the valley. A large water tower stood in the middle of it, with Spyro and Cynder chained at the base. Cynder lifted her head weakly and looked towards Spyro, whom steadily re-awakened and got up onto his feet. In front of him, he saw Hunter tied to another tower and Sparx trapped in a lantern nearby, along with a trio of armed cheetahs coming towards them]
Chief Prowlus: [to Hunter] Dragons... bah. Do you have such little respect forour laws, that you form an alliance with the very ones who caused all our misfortunes?"
Hunter: Chief Prowlus! Malefor... he alone is the one responsible. This dragon is our last hope... you must see that!
Chief Prowlus: Yes, yes... the purple dragon... I know the story! But unlike you, I have not forgotten what they say Malefor was like when he was young... and I have not forgotten either, what SHE has done. [He gestured towards Cynder, whom responded with an uneasy glance back] I relied on you, Hunter, as I must rely on all of us in this village, to protect it. But you chose to abandon us... and bring the dangers of the outside world with you when you returned.
Hunter: The dangers are already around us! Don't pretend to ignore them!
Sparx: Hey, can't you guys just stop arguing? It's getting awkward for everybody.
[All of a sudden...]
Blue Cheetah: Grublins! In the valley! Prepare your weapons!
[From the outskirts of the village, a group of winged grublins flew towards the entrance. One of which formed a fireball in its hand and threw it towards one of the houses, setting it on fire]
Chief Prowlus: Now see what you've done?!
Spyro: [in desperation] Let us go! We can help!
Chief Prowlus: Our warriors can handle this.
[At this time, the grublins had arrived inside the village grounds]
Cynder: Now is not the time to be stubborn.
Sparx: Hey, a lot of weird stuff happens when they get upset. I'd listen to them if I were you.
[Reluctantly, Prowlus agreed. He withdrew a key and freed Spyro and Cynder from the water tower base]

[After one group of grublins were defeated, Sparx hovered up to the top of the village gates and noticed a group of flying creatures approaching the scene]
Sparx: [joyfully] Look, dragons! Yes! We are saved! Wooh! [Unfortunately, a closer look at the creatures revealed that they weren't dragons, but a group of wyverns] Aaaaagh! Those aren't dragons! We're all going to die!
[The wyverns came closer towards the village, ready to be part of the next assault]

Spyro: What was that thing?
Hunter: There'll be time for that. We'll follow the river... it will lead us to shelter where we can rest. And then we're off to Warfang, the Dragon City, where Ignitus will be expecting us.

Chief Prowlus: Is everyone alright?
Cheetah: No. Meadow is missing. He had gone upstream to search for herbs this morning and is not returned.
Cheetah 2: We have to go find him.
Chief Prowlus: No, it is too dangerous to mount a search now.
Spyro: I'll go! I'll find your missing friend. Hunter can come with us.
Chief Prowlus: You are free to act as you see fit, but Hunter stays here. However, if you remain true to your word, and come back with Meadow, I may reconsider. And don't bother returning before then, as you'll likely succeed only in attracting more Grublins to our village.

Meadow: Thank you, friends. You saved my life.
Sparx: Finally, some gratitude. You're welcome.
Meadow: You've met Chief Prowlus, no doubt. Not all of us are of the same mind.
Cynder: Well, that's putting it mildly, isn't it?
Spyro: Can you move? We need to get you out of here.
Meadow: I'm sorry. [Struggles to stand up] I'm afraid my leg is broken. Just go back to the village... and tell them where I am.
Spyro: Your leader doesn't trust us. If we return without you, he'll likely assume the worst.
Cynder: Yeah, and blame us for it.
Meadow: Ugh, the fool. I understand. There's a raft at the far end of the valley. If you can bring it here, perhaps I can pull myself onto it.
Spyro: Okay, we'll do it.
Meadow: To launch it, you'll need the weights from the supply cave, but it's locked.
Sparx: Oh, that figures.
Meadow: There is a Hermit who lives beneath the waterfall at the other end of the valley. He has a key, but the cave is hidden. Look for the markings on the wall to open the path.
Sparx: Oh, psst, easy. Uh, raft, cave... [mumbles] Got it. Yes.
Spyro: We'll come back for you. I promise.

[The group found the cave, but during their search for the Hermit they were ambushed by ghosts. After defeating them, they walked into the middle of the empty clearing]
Hermit: Come closer, so I can see you in the light. [He was seen hidden in the darker areas of the wall. He was shown to be a gray cheetah wearing a hooded cloak like Hunter did in the beginning of the game. Responding to his request, they walked closer to him] Tell me, why have you returned here?
Spyro: What do you mean? I've never been here before.
Hermit: Not you! The female!
Cynder: [rolls her eyes] You must be mistaken.
Hermit: Indeed, your appearance has changed, but not your eyes. Your eyes give everything away. You are the black dragon, Cynder, the terror of the skies... the Dark Master's puppet.
Cynder: I was... but... but I'm not anymore. I... I'm not proud of the things I've done.
Hermit: Oh, is it THAT simple... to turn your back on Malefor?
Spyro: You don't have to listen to him, Cynder.
[A familiar battle cry was heard. Both dragons looked up to the cliff tops, where several ghosts were seen moving around aimlessly]
Hermit: Did you not recognize the creatures that moved in the shadows? The Apes too had served the Dark Master, but more for their own greed and thirst for power than any true loyalty to him. This is how Malefor repaid them...doomed to remain in the dark...feeding off the power of others, never being fulfilled. You can run...[cackles vilely]...but you cannot hide, Cynder.
[Cynder hung her head low, upset due to the Hermit's remarks]
Spyro: Cynder! Let's go!
[Both dragons bitterly walked away from the Hermit]
Hermit: [laughs]... the Dark Master will find you...[laughing] [He walked away, back into the shadows. Meanwhile...]
Spyro: [concerned] Cynder... are you okay?
Cynder: I'm fine! I'll be fine.
Sparx: [moodily] Well, I'm not! Was I the only one who was freaked out by that guy? [mumbles in frustration] Sheesh, okay... at least it wasn't a complete waste of time. [Backing up his statement, he revealed a key he hid behind his back, happily] Tadaa! [Both dragons' faces lit up as they saw the key. With that, they could reach the supply cave] Come on, whatcha waiting for?

[The gates were sealed shut and the monsters were defeated. Both Spyro and Cynder looked at each other, satisfied with Warfang's survival]
Mole #3: They're retreating!
[The artillery mole had noticed the action from the ramparts. True to his words, the monsters have stopped attacking the city and walked back towards the volcano. Spyro, Cynder and Hunter also returned there, seeing a pair of larger dragons contributing towards the battle]
Cynder: This is odd. Why are they retreating when they were so close to taking the city?
Sparx: [poorly imitates Cynder] "Why are they retreating when they're so cl..." [sighs] Who cares?
Hunter: I feel it too. Something's not right."
Spyro: [tensely They're turning around! Look!
[From behind the belt of fire that covered the volcano, a very familiar one-handed golem crossed it and started walking towards the city. It reacted with a loud ear-piercing roar]
Sparx: [nervously, almost crying] Hush little baby... don't say a word... Mama's gonna buy you... a big monster wants to kill me...
[The golem buried itself into the ground and made its way towards the gates. Once again, the tide had turned]
Cynder: [panicked] It's in the earth beneath us! All of you run! Run!
[The moles retreated far away from the gates. At the same spot they were at before, the golem broke out from the ground and started using its remaining hand to start destroying the city. Not long into its assault, it assembled some of the fallen debris to form a new, larger hand to replace the one it lost. Meanwhile, outside the city, a group of dragons had flown towards the outskirts - the Guardians]
Ignitus: Cyril, the city is burning. See what you can do about it! Volteer, try to distract its vision. Terrador, follow me! We'll attack it head on!
[The dragons dispersed according to Ignitus's instructions]
Hunter: Spyro, Cynder, go and find shelter. Leave us to deal with this. [Then he walked away from the scene]
Cynder: [panicked] What are we going to do?
Sparx: What to you mean 'what are we going to...' Didn't you just hear Hunter?
Spyro: [determinedly] We're not leaving! We can stop this!

Spyro: Ignitus...
Ignitus: [Flies down to meet Spyro and Cynder] Young dragon, you never cease to amaze me.
Terrador: [Flies down to join Ignitus] We never lost hope that you would return. Ignitus made sure of that.
Spyro: I should have come back sooner. I let you all down. But that won't happen again.
Ignitus: Spyro, you've done more than anyone could expect of a dragon your age... What matters now is that you are here and, what's more, you've returned with your companions.
Cynder: Well, it's not like I've really had much of a choice in the matter, seeing as how we're stuck together.
Ignitus: [Inspects the Snake chain around Spyro and Cynder's necks] Interesting... This device is foreign to me. Mason, what do you make of this?
Mason: [Inspects the chain] Never have I seen such a thing. It has the mark of evil.
Ignitus: Likely crafted by Malefor himself. I fear we shall not be able to remove it.
Cynder: What! But there has to be a way!
Spyro: How can we fight back if we're made to fight like this?
Ignitus: Spyro, Cynder, you have done well to get this far, despite this. Do not view this chain as a hindrance... but allow it to be a reminder of the bond you two share. Your destinies are now intertwined. And that thought is a hopeful one.

[Suddenly, a purple aura broke out from the ground ahead of them]
Malefor (Dark Master): Citizens of Warfang... congratulations. You shall be the first to witness the resurrection of the Destroyer... and the end of the world.
Ignitus: Malefor...[The ground started to shake, the source being a volcanic eruption. From out of the crater, there came a monstrous titan crawling out from it. The dragons flew up to the ramparts to take a closer look] By our ancestors... what is that?
[An image was shown on screen, revealing a crystal projecting the world's potential destruction]
Malefor (Dark Master): [voiceover] The Destroyer has commenced its journey to form the ring of annihilation. At the end of its journey, the Belt of Fire will spread across the surface of the earth in a torrent of fire and ash. There will be no escape.
[The Destroyer had emerged from the volcano and had started walking across the plains ahead]
Terrador: The Destroyer? But that's impossible...
Spyro: [concerned] Ignitus! I don't understand.
Ignitus: Nor do I. The ancients believed that this creature brings about the birth of a new world...
Sparx: [interrupts] See, that sounds like a good thing.
Ignitus:...by issuing its destruction.
Sparx: [taken aback] Oh...
Terrador: The beast moves too quickly. We can't possibly catch up with it. To set out in pursuit would be useless.
Ignitus: Then we shall wait for it to come back... and intercept it before it completes its circle.

Cynder: Spyro, look at this.
Sparx: Whoa, whoa, whoa, is that supposed to be you? They're all worshipping you.
Spyro: That isn't me. It's Malefor. Look at this place. The ancestors must have trained him here. They had such high hopes.

[With the dragon statues activated, the doors were opened, allowing everyone else to get inside. Both Spyro and Cynder looked at each other, happy with the reunion. They then all started going down the underground passage]
Ignitus: We are getting closer...[The group marched on in silence. Amidst the crowd, Spyro showed feelings of tension on his face, reflecting on the situation] I know what you are thinking, Spyro. Have no worry, young dragon. We'll make it.
Spyro: I don't understand... Malefor is about to destroy everything! But you seem so calm...
Ignitus: I don't imagine Malefor would expend all this effort if he did not feel threatened...
Spyro: But why should he?
Ignitus: Throughout our history, there is only known to have been two purple dragons. Like Malefor, your powers go far beyond what you might imagine. He knows this. Malefor could have accomplished anything, but instead chose evil and the world has been spiraling in chaos ever since. Your existence is nature's way of balancing itself.
Spyro: [somber] But the ancestors thought Malefor was going to be different. They believed in him. And look what happened...
Ignitus: Malefor draws his powers from destruction. Destruction is the only way he knows, Spyro.
Spyro: Why should I be any different?
Ignitus: Because I know you, and your heart would not allow it. Because I believe you are destined for great things... to bring about a newage... an age of peace... and I do not see what role destruction will have in that age...[At that moment, the group came to a stop] Here we are.
[Directly in front of them was the exit out into the canyon. It was time to begin the assault on the Destroyer]

[The group reached a balcony in the canyon. Once there, they looked out into the distance, seeing the Destroyer come closer towards the volcano]
Sparx: [imagines himself squishing the Destroyer with his fingers] Whoa... Gotcha! Gotcha! Errr... gotcha, gotcha! [imitates gunfire] Take that! Squishy, squishy...
Cynder: [sarcastically] Oh, keep it up Sparx. I think it's working.
Spyro: Sparx, cut it out. Now's not the time.
Sparx: [sulks] It's NEVER a good time.
[The Destroyer made another footstep towards its location]
Terrador: How long until it crosses the belt of fire?
Ignitus: We might have until midday... maybe less at that speed.
[While most of the residents felt uneasy about the hypothesis, Cynder spent more time analysing the situation. She looked at the Destroyer, then showed a determined glare ahead of it]
Cynder: Spyro, how deep do you think that canyon is?
Spyro: I don't know... what are you getting at?
[Cynder was glancing over to her right. Noticing it, Spyro looked in the same direction. Sparx soon noticed their actions, believing they were looking at him]
Sparx: What? What are you looking at? Do I... do I have something on my... [sucks his mouth] Is it on my teeth?
[Realizing it wasn't him they were looking at, he looked behind. There, a stone dam was seen in the distance]
Spyro: Cynder, you're a genius!
Cynder: I have my moments.
Spyro: [turns to Ignitus] Ignitus! Can you stall it long enough to allow us to open the flood gate? If we fill up the canyon with water, it may slow it down enough to give us a fighting chance.
Terrador: That may work...
Ignitus: [He nodded with agreement before addressing the rest of the group] Listen to me! We must prevent that monster from escaping the canyon no matter the cost. Every moment counts!
Terrador: You heard the dragon! Let's move!
Ignitus: [turns to Spyro] We will do all we can to give you time. The rest is up to you.
Sparx: [poorly imitates Ignitus] The rest is up to you... pss... [sarcastically] No pressure or anything.
[The dragons then flew towards the dam]
Ignitus: Let's hope this is enough...

[Spyro, Cynder and Ignitus arrived at the belt of fire. It blazed intensely, heightening the dangers of breaking through]
Ignitus: I should be able to offer some protection from the heat. Stay close to me.
[A large blue spherical shield appeared around Ignitus's body. Once Spyro and Cynder were brought inside, they started walking through the belt. Partway through the walk, the shield started to give way; Ignitus tried to form another, but he still showed signs of weakness]
Spyro: [worried] Ignitus, let's turn back! There's got to be another way!
Ignitus: [exhausted] Spyro, Cynder... I've never done right by either of you. Allow me to do this...
Spyro: [shocked] What are you saying?!
Ignitus: My path ends here. But yours lies beyond this. Draw strength from each other and follow your heart. It will never fail you...[his body started to glow with a white aura] Now, go... go... [echoed] Go!
[A flash occurred from Ignitus's body. The shield was sent across the belt, but with only Spyro and Cynder inside. Upon landing, Spyro looked back at the belt for any trace of Ignitus... but reality soon sank in - he had died in sacrifice]
Spyro: [distraught] IGNITUS! NOOO!
Cynder: Spyro, stop! It's too late! You can't do anything for him now!
Spyro: [anguished] No! He isn't gone...
Cynder: Spyro...Let it go.
Spyro: [He remained upset, but unfortunately the feelings gave way for him to transform into his dark form, distorted] NO!
Cynder: No! Spyro, don't!
Spyro: [distorted] You can't stop me!
Cynder: You're right. Only you can do that. Please, Spyro. Don't do this.
[It took several moments for Cynder's remarks to sink in, but Spyro transformed back into his regular self]
Cynder: We have to go on. He wanted us to.
Spyro: [somber] It wasn't supposed to be like this. I feel so alone.
Cynder: You're not alone.
[Both dragons nuzzled their faces against each other in support. In spite of how they got across the belt, they knew that they had to keep going]

Cynder: He's up there somewhere, isn't he? I don't know if I can go through with this.
Spyro: I don't know either. But we have to. You said it yourself. If we don't, then everything we've fought for, everything we've lost... it's all been for nothing.
Cynder: Alright then, I'll go. But only because I want to get rid of this chain.
Spyro: Come on. The air is too thick down here with all of this ash. There's probably an updraft near the volcano.

Spyro: Are you ready for this?
Cynder: [somber] I'm scared.
Spyro: Just stay close to me.
[The dragons then walked inside. Once in there, they noticed a large purple dragon standing at the opposite end of the room - Malefor himself]
Malefor (Dark Master): At long last, my guests have arrived. Please... come in. [He then started walking closer towards the dragons] Such determination to get here... It seems we share other qualities besides that of our color.
Spyro: No. I'm nothing like you!
Malefor (Dark Master): Do you think so? Hmm... we'll get to that.
Cynder: Don't listen to him, Spyro. Don't listen to anything he says.
Malefor (Dark Master): You look so weary. Allow me to make you more comfortable.
[The snake tethers appeared on their necks and were broken apart. The dragons had been freed]
Malefor (Dark Master): There. That's better, isn't it? It's the least I could do for you, Cynder. After all, you've done so much for me.
Spyro: [defensively] You used her!
Malefor (Dark Master): I used her. She used you. What does it matter, really?
Spyro: [turns to Cynder, puzzled] What does he mean? [Cynder doesn't respond. Instead, she looks down regretfully]
Malefor (Dark Master): What? He doesn't know? [laughs vilely] Go on, tell him. You mustn't leave him in the dark...
Spyro: Tell me what?
Malefor (Dark Master): How she lured you to the Well of Souls... how she tricked you into freeing me.
Cynder: You're lying!
Malefor (Dark Master): Hmm... I find it peculiar... how you've chosen to remember things. Let me assure you. It was you who freed me, Spyro. [turns to Cynder] And you who brought me back. And we have Cynder to thank for that. [laughs vilely and steadily]
Spyro: [worryingly] Cynder? Is it true?
Cynder: [confused] No... I don't know... I don't know anymore...
Malefor (Dark Master): Oh, I think you do. But perhaps you need a little nudge... [As his eyes glowed an eerie yellow color. In response, Cynder's body transformed into a darker form just like Spyro's at the Burned Lands]
Spyro: [distraught] Cynder!
[Malefor laughing in sinisterly, Cynder glared towards Spyro and started approaching him]
Spyro: [still panicked] Cynder! No!
Malefor (Dark Master): Ignitus should have warned you. You are alone here, young dragon. You have ALWAYS been alone. Still, here you are... trying so desperately to save this miserable world...refusing to accept the true role of the purple dragon. [During his speech, Spyro was tackled to the floor by Cynder] I'm sure you've been told that I was the first of our kind...but I assure you, there have been many. It has been the duty of our predecessors to resurrect the Destroyer and the Golems of the deep... to bring about the great cleansing. This is the true nature of our kind. Your destiny is to destroy the world.
[Once again, Cynder knocked Spyro down, this time being sent to the other side of the room]
Spyro: [in denial] No! I don't believe that!
Malefor (Dark Master): Of course you don't. But you have fulfilled your destiny nonetheless. In my time, I was stopped... prevented from completing my quest. But you... you have carried the flame... be it through your own will or not. And soon, the world will be destroyed, you along with it...
Spyro: [still shocked] No...
[Cynder approached Spyro again and knocked him down to the floor with her tail. She then looked at him directly]
Cynder: [distorted] Fight back!
[Spyro helplessly used his wings to shield himself from another one of Cynder's attacks, Malefor laughing sadistically. The attacks continued on. And yet, Spyro didn't retaliate]
Cynder: [distorted] Fight back! Why won't you fight back?
Spyro: [hopelessly] Because you've left me nothing to fight for.
[The heartfelt remarks caused Cynder to transform back to her original self]
Cynder: There's always something.
[Spyro smiled at Cynder's presence. His confidence was restored, but...]
Malefor (Dark Master): [angrily] Argh! So be it! You've made your choice and so you shall suffer the same fate! [The snake tether re-appeared and attached the dragons back together] Prepare to die! [He flew out of the lair, with the two dragons flying in pursuit. Then, they clashed, ready for the final battle]

[The dragons then ended up beneath the magma and towards the core of the planet. But in spite of all the hardships, Malefor still showed signs of stamina]
Malefor (Dark Master): You cannot defeat me! I AM ETERNAL!
[Malefor reacted with a destruction beam from his mouth towards the two dragons. Quickly, they retaliated with their own beams; they all clashed with each other, with the two parties trying to bring the other one down]
Spyro: [thinking to himself] Just... hang... on!
[Several ripples formed in the beams, sending Malefor over to the other side of the core in defeat. He brought himself up, but before he could do anything, several dragon spirits appeared around him, all glowing an eerie purple aura]
Malefor (Dark Master): [last words] What is this? [The spirits then flew towards Malefor with no signs of letting him escape. frightened] Noooooo!!!
[Collectively, they all pulled him into the core, presumably killing him. Not long after, the snake tether vanished from the dragons' necks. In spite of that, the core started to break apart with an intense white flash, with the rest of the planet following in quick succession. Both dragons landed on the surface of the core]
Cynder: [regretfully] Spyro, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Spyro: Don't be. It's over now.
Cynder: So this is it...?
[The planet continued to break apart. While Cynder felt as if she had to accept the destruction, Spyro stood their with his eyes closed, recollecting his thoughts]
Ignitus: [appears as a spirit behind Spyro] Spyro, when a dragon dies, he does not truly leave this world. His spirit lives on, binding itself with nature, offering hope for the future...
Spyro: [He opened his eyes, now determined to take the words to heart] I know what I need to do. Just get out of here, Cynder.
Cynder: Spyro, no... You don't have to do anything. Let's just go.
Spyro: Where, Cynder? There'll be nothing left! The world is breaking apart. But I think I can stop it. I think I'm meant to.
[A long paused happened as Cynder absorbed Spyro's words]
Cynder: Then I'm with you...
[Spyro looked on at her hopefully, before hovering above the ground to concentrate the last of his strength. Much like Ignitus's sacrifice before, his body glowed white]
Cynder: [echoed whisper] I love you...

[Last lines]
Chronicler: Be welcome, friend. I have long been expecting you. A new age is beginning. With each new age, a worthy dragon is chosen to chronicle the many triumphs and failures of that age. This has been my duty for many millennia. And now, Ignitus, I pass this honor to you.
Ignitus: And what of Spyro? Is he...?
Chronicler: Hmm... That is the question, isn't it? You see, each time a dragon dies, a new page is written in this book. I've done my best, but I can't seem to find any trace of Spyro.
[The Chronicler disappears. Ignitus' scales turn blue and the Chronicler's regalia appears on him]
Ignitus: Well, young dragon. Where might you be?
[Spyro and Cynder are last seen flying through the sky together]
