THE STORY Panic in the Chamber of the Teensies and the Fairy Council: Robopirates from deep space have arrived, determinedto conquer and enslave their entire world. The time for combat has come. Volunteers form small resistance groups and throw themselves into battle with the evil aggressors. Rayman and his friend Globox go to the edge of the Great Forest, where the highest number of pirates are located. Rayman jumps from tree to tree and activates his helicopter for a soft landing in the middle of a thicket of bushes. “The pirates are coming straight at us!”cries Rayman to his friend. “Get Ready!” The earth suddenly begins to tremble…several trees collapse, creating a passageway for an army of robots. The battle begins! Rayman leaps into action, sending metal monsters flying with his powerful energy spheres. A little Later, Globox,trembling with fright desperately tries to make the robots rust up by creating little rain storms over their heads. A robot, creaking horribly, crashes to the ground. “Not bad Globox!” shouts Rayman with a smile. Globox tries to answer but Rayman doesn’thear. The strained face of Ly hasjust appeared in his mind. Rayman begins Ly, in a weary voice, “The pirates have broken the heart of the world. The energy has scattered.. Shocked by this terrible news, Rayman lets himself be surprised by a gigantic robot who pins him between his powerful pinchers. He tries to create a new energy sphere in the palm of his hand, but to no avail. The destruction of the Primordial Core has taken away all of his powers… Desperate he shouts to his friend.. “They’ve got me Clokox! Save yourself” “But… But… what about you?” “No time to explain! Go find Ly. She’ll tell you what to do!” After a moment of hesitation, Globox dodges between the feet ofthe robots, and plunges into the high grass. An evil laugh reverberates. Rayman turns and sees Razorbeard, the leader of the pirates. “I have you, Rayman®! You’ll soon be my most obedient slave!” Rayman tries to free himself, but the iron of the robot tightens around him. He casts a dark look at Razorbeard and shouts defiantly: “It’s not over yet, pirate! I’ll find a wayto escape and then I’ll make you wish you’d never been born! GETTING STARTED 1.
