Pikatwig: From a picture, to an actual fic… didn't see that comin'.
KKD: Yea. I originally wanted this to be a surprise for you after I posted a video we agreed to work on to go with this, but… you know, I couldn't get the motivation to finish it solo. Still, the concept was so good, I felt it needed it's own fanfic.
Pikatwig: Thanks buddy, that would've been a really neat surprise.
KKD: Yea. Again, I blame my lack of solo motivation. Well, care to elabo-... you know what? Let's not spoil it, and save it for the outro. This explains the story of the picture anyway.
Pikatwig: I was just about to say that.
KKD: Right. Well, let's get the disclaimers up and begin.
DISCLAIMERS: I OWN NO-... oh, let's face it. Do I own anything in most of these fics? If I did, Spyro wouldn't be in the situation he's in today.
It was a rather calm day as there were vehicles driving up to a hotel. From the vehicles came various mascots of many companies, including Toei's Kamen Rider Ichigou, SEGA's Sonic, and Nintendo's Mario, walked inside to be given sashes with their company's labels to show they are the representative for their company. They were all gathering together for an annual event known only to the mascots, known as Macot-Con.
"Hello! It's-a me, Mario!" Mario announced, as he waved at the people who were behind a velvet rope, who began to cheer.
The great plumber everyone knows came in before being granted a white sash with the Nintendo logo across it. He looked to see some mascots were already in line to head in, among them were Mickey Mouse with a blue sash for Disney, Kirby with a yellow sash for Hal Laboratory, Pac-Man with a green sash for Namco and Neptune with a purple sash for Idea Factory.
"Ore wa… Kamen Rider, ICHIGOU!" Ichigou shouted out, jumping off his motorcycle for his grand entrance, earning him a green sash with Toei's logo on it. Sonic took a moment to stay by, as he saw Twilight Sparkle walk up, having a lavender sash to represent Hasbro.
"Good day," Twilight waved, as she approached the door, soon Sonic saw a car with a crescent moon symbol on it, and almost instantly, he knew who it was.
"Looks like it's Sailor Moon to represent VizMedia this year," Sonic noted, as the heroine walked out, in one of her attires from the first Sailor Moon anime, instead of the more recent, Sailor Moon Crystal.
"Greetings, everyone!" Sailor Moon greeted as she was granted a white sash for VizMedia.
"Sonic-a, are you still a-waiting for Megaman?" Mario asked, going over to Sonic.
"Huh? Oh yea. We promised to go in to the con together," Sonic nodded, as Mario groaned annoyed.
"He's-a not coming. He was replaced by-a that Street Fighter character, Drago or whatever-a his name was," Mario responded.
"Ryu you mean," Sonic corrected as the car that had the Capcom logo on the side rolled up.
"See, that Ryu-a guy is-a here," Mario responded, as he headed for his spot in line, but when the door opened up, everyone looked when they heard a metallic thud on the ground, turning to see it was the original Megaman, much to Mario's surprise.
"Hey Sonic!" Megaman waved, heading over to him.
"Nice to see ya buddy!" Sonic smiled as they shook hands, Mario still in shock.
"What?! What-a gives? I thought Ryu was the one to represent-a Capcom!" Mario gawked.
"Smash Bros 4… they gave me a chance to represent Capcom again," Megaman smiled.
"Oh that's-a right. I kinda forgot about that," Mario chuckled nervously.
"C'mon, Rock. Let's go get our sashes," Sonic smiled, as they headed over, Megaman getting a white sash for Capcom, and Sonic getting a cyan one for SEGA. They took their spot in line and waited.
"So Sonic… how long were you waiting for me? And did you worry I wouldn't show?" Megaman asked.
"Oh… about the first, I was waiting about… ten minutes or so. And second, nope, I didn't worry for a minute," Sonic smiled.
"Good. Admittedly, I was thinking Capcom completely forgot about me due to that Street Fighter of theirs, but with fan demand and Smash Bros… the rest is history," Megaman smiled as they walked in, Sonic only briefly noticing a box outside that looked completely trashed, weathered, and even burnt. Sonic was about to tell his friend about something, when he thought he saw something move from the box.
"You okay?" Megaman asked Sonic, not having seen the box yet.
"...thought I saw something in that box over there," he informed, pointing out the door where Sonic only saw a box.
"There's nothing out there but a box," Megaman pointed out, seeing the badly damaged box.
"Take a closer look," Sonic replied, as he looked and saw some horns pop up from what remained of the top of the box.
"What the…" Megaman gawked seeing the yellow horns.
"Let's take a look," Sonic insisted, walking out the door ahead of Megaman, walking slowly so as not to disturb what was in the box.
"...Sonic?" a voice in the box asked, as the horns lifted up, revealing the head of a purple-eyed and purple-scaled dragon.
"Spyro? ...What're you doing here?" Sonic gawked as Megaman finally noticed the dragon, Spyro.
"...My life's in ruin, I turned into a bum of a mascot, that's what I'm doing," Spyro sighed, lowering his head to the ground.
"Wait a minute… I know you! I saw an ad for that crossover game you had with that Crash guy!" Megaman remembered, "Even though that game was not that good… I've at least heard of ya,"
"Hey, you're Megaman. I remember you from Sonic's stories," Spyro nodded, but shuddered when his mind registered what Megaman said, "Oh… don't remind me of that terrible GBA crossover. It wasn't the dream team we were hoping it'd be."
"...aside from mentions of games… what are you doing here? I thought you were getting some games as of late," Sonic responded.
"It's a long story…" Spyro admitted.
"...We got time before we have to go to our panels here at the con," Sonic replied, "You can tell us."
"...Okay then, sit down." Spyro responded, as the two sat. "...it all began soon after the Playstation was released, and everyone was scrambling to get games for the system, and Crash was the first one to come out for family friendly mascots."
1998
Insomniac games were struggling to come up with a concept for a video game character, designing various character. However, one design that stuck out in their minds was one of a green dragon.
"We should really try this guy," one designer suggested.
"But we got a lot of green environments already. Wouldn't he blend in too much?" another designer pointed out.
"How about… we do something to do a contrast on the color wheel? Purple and yellow would work," a third designer responded.
"Perfect! Let's go with that! And make his wings red!" the first designer agreed.
Later, the designers finished the game, and Spyro himself was born. He had arrived at Sony HQ to celebrate his game's launch, with Spyro getting a chance to meet Crash from Naughty Dog while he was there. The purple dragon never felt happier his entire life. And for the next two years, his fame would get even bigger with his next two hits, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon.
After some years, Spyro and Crash had asked their companies to help them make a crossover game, however… neither were happy with the final results, Crash Purple and Spyro Orange.
Eventually however, after that, the remaining games ruined his popularity. So one day, he had to make a major request, as the company who owned him at the time, Universal Vivendi, was getting ruined with him and Crash. So Spyro and Crash were in charge of finding a new company to publish their future games.
"Come on! Please help us!" Spyro begged, as he and Crash were at the one company they never wanted contact with, but were desperate to get a new contract from… Activision.
"Hmm… sorry boys, I can't take you into the company as you are now. The public just isn't into family-friendly characters like you guys anymore. You need to change your images for a new crowd. We need you to go through… the reboot," the CEO informed, causing the mascots to gasp.
"Uh… what's a reboot?" Spyro asked.
"Simple. You take a franchise, and you start it over from the ground up. You keep the generic idea of the character, but put a new spin on it for the newer generation. And today, kids like seeing darker things, seeing the origins of their heroes. So you, Bandicoot. Go down the hall and talk to one of the designers for your reboot redesign," the CEO spoke, as Crash, gave a nervous look, before turning to Spyro.
"Good luck in the future man," Crash told Spyro.
"Thanks… you too, Crash," Spyro added as Crash left, not knowing it would be the last time the two would see each other.
"As for you, we need to come up with a new origin. A new Legend. I got it! The Legend of Spyro! That's perfect! We can start you up for at least a three game-contract and see how you go with that," the CEO replied, handing Spyro a contract, "Just sign on the dotted line at the bottom, and you got yourself a deal for some new games."
Spyro gave a nervous look, he took a moment to read it, before shakily signing the contract, not knowing what would happen.
"Great! You're hired. Join the other design team and the storyboard crews, and they'll work things out with you," the CEO replied as Spyro walked off.
In 2006, Spyro's new game came out to mixed reviews. The public took him back in, but he was a little nervous about how things would end up. The franchise kept getting darker, much to Spyro's chagrin, and he was having a harder time finding new friends. The only redeeming factor about this was that he still had his friend from the first series of games, Sparx the Dragonfly (a little yellow dragonfly who always followed Spyro), and the new friend he made making the Legend of Spyro series, Cynder, a black female dragon who Spyro would've almost gotten a crush on.
"Sparx, Cynder, do you ever wonder if anyone in the gaming world… resents us?" Spyro inquired, getting confused looks from them.
"What're you talking about Spyro? The gaming world is glad that you came back with the fresh new look," Cynder replied, wanting to be optimistic despite what happened, and seeing the faces of Spyro and Sparx… neither of them were sure about that.
"I'm not sure buddy… I kinda wonder if this was a good move," Sparx admitted, "But then again… do we want another Spyro Orange?"
"What's Spyro Orange?" Cynder asked, unaware of that catastrophe, causing the purple dragon and yellow dragonfly to shudder.
"Please… don't remind me of that," Spyro sighed before thinking of Crash, "...Hey, Sparx? Could you and Cynder leave me alone for a while please? I need to call someone."
Seeing the dragon's face, Sparx knew what Spyro meant.
"Alright. Call us when you're ready, buddy. C'mon, Cynder," Sparx replied, as the two headed out, leaving Spyro to go over to the phone to try and call Crash, hoping he was doing well.
The phone rang for a bit, and when it stopped, he heard a female voice over the phone.
-Hello?- she asked.
"Hello? May I speak to Crash Bandicoot, please? It's Spyro the Dragon," Spyro asked, as he heard the other end go silent, "...Is something wrong?"
-...I'm… I'm sorry Spyro, but…- the girl on the other end started, already on the verge of whimpering before she started crying.
'That can't be good,' Spyro thought.
Spyro sighed, walking into a graveyard, tearfully looking at a tombstone, Crash's, with the years on the tombstone being 1996-2010.
"...Suicide? ...Why Crash? I'm sure you were doing way better than I ever was… why did you leave?" Spyro spoke, as he tried not to cry, "You're my friend… one of the few rivals I could meet from another company, and truly call you a friend…"
Spyro was struggling not to cry, as no one noticed a figure in a black trenchcoat and wearing nothing but black, including sunglasses, looked at Spyro.
"Hey… you okay kid?" the person asked in a raspy voice.
"...No… I just lost one of my early gaming rivals… and one of my best friend," Spyro responded, struggling not to cry, but the tears were still falling, making the figure sigh.
"Sorry about that, kid. But listen… my advice: try to move on. Don't stay in that crazy business, because at this rate, you'll be milked like a cash cow until you're so drained… you'll go insane," the figure told Spyro.
"...thanks," Spyro responded, as he headed off.
"What do you mean you quit?!" the CEO demanded.
"I mean what I said, sir. I don't want in on this business now! Either you sell the rights to my franchise back to Insomniac so they can make my games PROPER once more… or I'm leaving the game industry for good!" Spyro shouted, but despite this, the CEO smirked.
"Sorry kid, I can let you do that. You're contract has been renewed," the CEO informed, "And don't think you can take the same way out that your buddy did. We got a new company that'll put your image up for a new generation! And get this! You're not just a video game character… you're gonna be an action figure!"
"How does that even make sense?!"
"New technology son. The action figure works with the game, and you're not the only one there. Sparx and Cynder are already over at the new developer's studio right now, and they're in the midst of redesigns for your reboot, and for a whole line of characters you'll be alongside," the CEO informed before hitting the buzzer, "Ms. Hasha, send the guys from Toys for Bob over here to pick up Mr. Spyro… he's late for his meeting."
"I won't do this!" Spyro shouted, as he tried to run away, but before he knew it, he was trapped in a cage like a pet to be put on a plane.
"You're gonna go through with this whether ya want ta or not. And don't try blasting your way out of that cage with any of your elemental breaths. We've made it impervious to them. Take him away boys," the CEO responded and smirked, counting his cash while Spyro struggled to free himself.
"This can't be happening! This can't be happening! Somebody, help! Anybody!"
At the studio Toys for Bob, Spyro, Sparx, and Cynder were chained up like prisoners or animals. The designers taking their precious time with the redesigns for the character models, while others were churning out design after design after design, a few of them landing at Spyro's feet, making him cringe.
"Crash… please… help me," Spyro whimpered, as he and his friends looked at the head.
"Okay, listen up Spyro, we're gonna need you to confirm the title of our next game. How does Spyro meets the Skylanders sound?" the head of the studio asked.
"What the heck is a 'Skylander' anyway?! Let me out! I want to go back to Insomniac!" Spyro screamed as the head pressed a button, zapping Spyro and sending him back to the floor before the head showed him some of the design sketches.
"You see these, boy? These characters, are Skylanders, heroes of a realm called Skylands. The idea is that they were legendary heroes who were sent to Earth, trapped in a new form," the head explained before showing Spyro one of the final designs for the toys, which was of Spyro, which made the poor dragon look like a pug!
"I'm a dragon! Not… whatever that thing is!" Spyro snapped.
"If you cooperate, you won't be demoralized more than you already are; you're the title character, the star of the show!"
"...that doesn't even look like him! Give us back to Insomniac! We deserve respect!" Sparx shouted.
"QUIET, FIREFLY! You're lucky we included you at all. You're not even a hero, just a little power boost. At least Spyro has his little girlfriend here, too. This is your last chance, though. If you cooperate, you'll get your name back as the main title, showing the world you deserve to be in video games still," the head replied before Spyro growl and fired a fire blast at his face, which only caused ashes to form, "FINE! Just for that, you're name's going in the subtitle! See if I care. Ralph! Spyro's in the subtitle now, put Stealth Elf in center of the characters on the cover!"
"...you've done it now, Spyro," Cynder gulped, making the three even more concerned.
"...I don't want this anymore… somebody… Pac-Man, Megaman, Mario, Sonic… Crash! Anybody… help us," Spyro cried, but his calls remained unanswered, and he and the three were forced to stay in the Toys for Bob studio, until 2013 came around.
After the release of the third Skylanders game, Spyro had had enough. He was infuriated, the three reduced to meagre characters people simply forgot about, and they were trapped in cages under the Toys for Bob studio, with seemingly no hope for escape.
"...Cynder… Sparx… I'm sorry…" Spyro cried, as he drank some water like a hamster would.
"It's not your fault, Spyro. Blame the CEO of Activision. He just sees you as a cash cow not truly worthy of respect," Cynder sighed.
"They've beaten me up… practically drained what energy I had left… I'm barely hanging on…" Spyro whimpered, having run out of tears to cry.
"Spyro… if this is it… there's something I need to tell you," Sparx began, getting Spyro's attention, "Crash isn't dead. He faked it, he's escaped…"
"He's alive?!" Spyro gawked, finding new inspiration to break from the chains of his oppressors, "...I've had enough of this. Contract or no contract, I'm getting us out of here, one way or another!"
With that, Spyro kept ramming his head into his cage door, attempting to break it down.
"Keep it down there!" someone shouted, as he got off the phone.
"I want out of this stupid place! I'm tired of what you're doing! I hate your stupid contracts! I hate how you've pushed me to the side! I hate how you abuse me constantly! And those toys! THEY AREN'T EVEN TOYS; THEY'RE FIGURINES! They can't move, they don't have cool features, all they are are little STATUES for kids to work only with that game, and I hate how you didn't let us get into Wreck-It Ralph!" Spyro shouted.
"I SAID KEEP IT DOWN!" the guy outside the cages responded.
"NO! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I'M BREAKING OUT OF THIS DUMP IF IT'S THE LAST! THING! I! DO!" Spyro roared, as his last charge finally broke the cage door down, sending it flying into the guard's face, as Cynder and Sparx finally got expressions of hope for their friends as he turned to them, "C'mon! I'm getting you out of here."
"Spyro, you need to go now!" Cynder insisted.
"I'm not leaving without you guys."
"Just go bud! Before they trap you back in here again! We'll be fine; we'll find a way out of this, just go! NOW!" Sparx shouted, making him tear up a bit.
"...I'll try to get you guys out one of these days," Spyro promised, as he ran out, his appearance changing back to what it was before the Skylanders changed him, and when he burst his way out of the building, he flew back off into the sky in his Legend of Spyro appearance before he slowly changed back into his original appearance as he got further from the Activision building.
"And since then… I've been on the run… I'm desperately trying to find ways to free Cynder and Sparx, but… I haven't had anything…" Spyro informed, as his stomach growled, "And I've been scrounging for what little food I could find… no one cares about me anymore…"
"Spyro… I care about you," Sonic assured, hugging the dragon.
"...Thanks man… haven't seen you since we did the commercial to promote that Tasmanian Tiger," Spyro smiled as Megaman saw the dragon's stomach looked thin.
"Me and Sonic brought some food," Megaman informed, as he headed for the car to get some of the food, pulling out some cheeseburgers, french fries and some chili dogs along with a few pieces of chocolate, "Here, eat up. You need it more than us."
Spyro took the food and wolfed it down, looking happier than he had been in years.
"Aw man… so good…" Spyro smiled, as he looked happy, before recalling something, "What're you guys doing here, anyway?"
"See that building over there?" Sonic asked, pointing at the hotel.
"...Yea?" Spyro nodded.
"That's called Mascot-Con, it's where mascots meet up to talk about things like new games and crossovers, and more things," Sonic informed.
"Oh such, add insult to injury on the poor dragon. Doesn't help that all of Sony's mascots are all stupid muscular guys that are more into guns and such… all T-rated games and over… I bet you got someone like Solid Snake or one of those Resident Evil guys to represent Sony," Spyro groaned.
"Don't remind me of that dumb jerk," Sonic groaned, as he looked around.
"Actually… no. Nobody's represented Sony for a few years now," Megaman informed.
"What?" Spyro gawked.
"Yea, thing is, this is for the family-friendly mascots only, no one from those games that seem uberly popular in the mainstream is coming," Megaman added as Sonic got an idea.
"Wait here a moment," Sonic responded, as he rushed in, seeing a few blank sashes. He grabbed one that was colored black, and then got the label for Sony onto it.
"What's he doing?" Spyro asked Megaman, confused.
"Dunno…" Megaman shrugged.
"So… what was Wreck-It Ralph like?" Spyro asked.
"I wouldn't know. Ryu stole my spot to be in that movie," Megaman responded, clearly annoyed.
"Ouch… well… I blame the guys at Activision for trapping me and those jerks who made that game that ruined my life keeping me trapped in that prison for not letting me go," Spyro sighed, as Sonic walked back over.
"Here Spyro," Sonic smiled, lowering the sash to him.
"Wait… you mean it, Sonic?" Spyro gawked, standing up, "...You guys… want me… to represent Sony?"
"We can think of nobody better to do it," Sonic smiled.
"Yea… you're the one who deserves it," Sonic insisted, "Well… with Crash having stopped making games, and all the other family-friendly mascots having retired altogether, you're the only one left to take the title. I'm sure the guys at Insomniac would've wanted you to have this."
Spyro's eyes just widened at the thought before slowly walking away from his box, Mario, Sailor Moon, Kamen Rider Ichigou and Twilight all watching as Sonic slipped the sash around Spyro, causing the dragon to smile and have tears fall from his eyes.
"...I think that you deserve the chance," Twilight informed.
"She's right, great heroes always deserve another chance at glory. Besides, we all missed you," Sailor Moon smiled.
"Even Japan missed your true presence, young dragon" Ichigou added.
"I-a may not like-a you that much-a, but… you're important to-a Sony, and I'll-a leave it at that-a," Mario concluded.
"Who knows. Maybe this will be the first step to turn things around for you," Megaman figured.
"...we've all had our share of hard times Spyro… but, nothing we all managed to bounce back in one way or another. What do you say?" Sonic smiled, causing the dragon to smile in response before joining the mascots back inside the hotel.
"I'd say I'd love to," Spyro smiled.
As the Mascot-con went on, Spyro was having a wonderful time when…
"STOP!" they all heard some men shout, causing Spyro to hide under a desk, "We're looking for a purple dragon. Have any of you seen him?"
"Nope," everyone responded, as Spyro took a peek out from under the table.
"There he is! Get him! We need him for his new model for Skylanders Trap Team!" the men in question shouted, beginning to run for Spyro, until they were stopped by Sailor Moon, Kamen Rider Ichigou, Twilight Sparkle and Sonic, "Out of the way you old time mascots!"
"You treated Spyro with such disgrace! How would you like it if we did all that crap to YOU!" Sonic snapped, getting the crowd on Spyro's side with Sonic leading the supporters.
"If you don't come back, Sparx and Cynder are going to get it!" the CEO shouted, as it was shown that both were being held by gunpoint.
"STOP ALL OF THIS!" they all heard someone shout before the CEO of Insomniac games, Ted Price of all people, walked from the crowd and towards the purple dragon, "Spyro?"
"...Dad?" Spyro gawked, referring to one of the men who created him as his father.
"...I made such a mistake letting you go…" Ted admitted, hugging the poor dragon, as he cried.
"Yea, yea, yea! You got reunited with your dumb creator! Mr. Price, give us that dragon already!" the guy from Toys for Bob ordered, "You know he belongs to us, and your company spent so much time on other projects, including those Blanket and Splack guys!"
"That's Ratchet and Clank, to you. And for your information, while they were successful, I read all the comments fans have made towards the situation Spyro's in. I made a foolish mistake in doing that. Ratchet and Clank want to meet their older brother for the first time ever. Oh by the way… as of about a week ago… he's no longer yours."
"WHAT?!"
"And neither are Sparx, Cynder, or any of the fan-loved Spyro characters you've kept captive. Keep your stupid Skylanders, because as of now…" Price began before holding up the contracts of Spyro and the others for Toys for Bob before tearing it up, "They are no longer yours. I bought them back, and they are once again Insomniac property!"
"He… just," Twilight gawked.
"Got Spyro back," Ichigou added in equal amazement.
"What a glorious day for video game history!" Sailor Moon added as the guards came in.
"Officers, please arrest these men; they attempted to steal the original mascot of Insomniac Inc,!" Price told the guards as the men from Toys for Bob were arrested, making people cheer, Sparx flying over back to Price with joy as Cynder looked confused and nervous.
"Who's this?" Cynder asked.
"Cynder, meet one of my creators, Ted Price," Spyro introduced.
"CEO of Insomniac Games Inc. And you must be Cynder," the CEO smiled, giving her a warm smile.
"Don't be shy, Cynder," Spyro replied as the small dark violet dragon approached Ted, still nervous before she was hugged by the man, taking her by surprise, but after a bit, she smiled and hugged him back, bringing on an "Aw~!" from the crowd of visitors and Mascots, as Sonic and Megaman walked over.
"See buddy, you're back in the biz," Sonic smiled.
"...Thanks guys," Spyro smiled back, "If it weren't for you, I… don't know what would've happened to me."
"We were just doing what we could to help," Megaman smiled.
"Listen you guys. I think it's time to bring you back in your own game. What do you say, Spyro. Ready to go back to your roots of gaming?" Ted Price asked Spyro.
"I'd love to," Spyro said tearfully, hugging his dad. "I love you daddy."
"I love you too, son," Ted chuckled.
Later, in the year 2017, it was another Mascot-con, and Sonic and Megaman were waiting once more for someone.
"Oh come on-a guys. Last time you waited for Twilight, and the time before that it was Kirby! Who're you waiting-a for-a this-a time-a?" Mario asked, confused.
"Who do you think?" Sonic asked, just as the vehicle for Insomniac Games rolled up, revealing Spyro, along with Sparx, Cynder, and the cast of Spyro's latest game, walking down the red carpet being treated like celebrities.
"Sonic! Megaman! Good to see you again," Spyro smiled.
"I missed ya! Sorry I couldn't come last year… I had work on my game," Spyro informed, as he took out a copy of a game for the PS4, Spyro the Dragon Returns!
"And would you believe that after all that abuse he had before, his game won fifteen gaming awards?!" Cynder added.
"Also… there's a surprise, from our companies," Megaman informed, as Spyro headed in with them.
"Oh my goodness!" Spyro gawked, seeing everyone was actually celebrating the success of Spyro's new game, and there was something hidden behind a curtain where Ted Price and the CEO of Sony stood.
"Spyro… the big surprise, is something you'll love," a familiar voice said, as an old friend of Spyro walked in, the crowd parting to show a very familiar orange character.
"...Crash!" Spyro gasped, rushing over to hug him.
"I missed ya little buddy," Crash smiled.
"Oh! You must be here to give word on your new game, right?" Spyro asked.
"Yea… believe it or not, Naughty Dog found me and bought the rights back for my franchise. You're the first of us to get his franchise back into the proper comeback, but I won't be far behind, bud," Crash chuckled.
"Okay you guys, as fun as this reunion is, we got some even bigger news," Price informed as he and the Sony CEO pulled back the curtain, "With the success of the newest game Spyro has had in years, I'm here to announce officially alongside the CEO of Sony, that the Playstation system finally has a solidified mascot. And that mascot… is none other, than everyone's favorite purple dragon. Spyro… you've made your old man proud."
Spyro got teary eyed, as he jumped up, seeing a special Playstation 4 with a custom design of him, with a new game right by it: "Spyro the Dragon, the Mega-Sonic Adventure".
"A crossover… with my best friends?" Spyro asked teary-eyed, "Outside of my own game… and Crash."
"A proper crossover, Spyro. And best of all… everyone who buys the new Spyro bundle of PS4 will get this game. You're back on top, Spyro," Ted smiled as Sonic and Megaman walked over, the purple dragon hugging all of them.
Pikatwig: Aww…
KKD: :')... I'm so… happy...
Pikatwig: Sonic and Megaman aided the purple dragon to get back on top.
KKD: Yea… and it seems he's plowed over that stupid company who abused him before, making a true comeback that he deserves. *hugs a Spyro the Dragon plushie, with a copy of the first three Spyro games*
Pikatwig: I honestly had a dream of Spyro getting back on top the night before we did this.
KKD: Yea… it's nice to dream that… Spyro was the mascot who got me into gaming… and he was a part of my childhood… writing this… made my inner child cry with joy.
Pikatwig: :) You're my best buddy… I may not have such memories of Spyro, but… I really liked that you're happy. Also… I saw a picture of what Spyro looks like now… not much to look at.
KKD: Yea, don't ruin my mood by bringing that up… I just want to stay happy. And for favorite parts… the entire ending was my favorite part, where Spyro is taken back by Insomniac Games, and given a proper new game.
Pikatwig: Yea, that was a really sweet thing, so I'll say that's my favorite part as well.
KKD: Yea… I'll have happy dreams tonight of Spyro, that's for sure. That picture you drew picture, really inspired me to do this, and like I said, I really wanted to surprise you at first… but you know.
Pikatwig: It's cool. Just Live More.
KKD: Jaa ne. *looks at games* Now if you'll pardon me. I got some childhood memories to revisit. *walks away to play the Spyro games*
