Chapter 2: Introduction to Rayman 2
Rayman couldn't believe his eyes. This doesn't look like the world he lived in, loved and remembered.
"Rayman…… open your eyes…… look what the Robo-Pirates have done to our world."
That voice…… Rayman had never heard it before, but it sounded so…… familiar.
"A world reduced to nothing but pain and suffering. They have broken the heart of the world into a thousand pieces. They have taken everything and reduced our people to slaves. They have taken our light and will never give it back. Nothing can stop them now that they have captured you. We are getting weak. Soon it'll be too late……"
Who is that talking to him? Rayman is too weak. He could not think……
"They have taken the slaves to the Buccaneer, the pirates' prison ship. Admiral Razorbeard is the leader of the robo-pirates."
Admiral Razorbead. So he is the big boss of all of them?
"You must escape, Rayman! You are our ONLY hope!"
Globox was thrown into the same cell as Rayman. They could hear the desperate cries of the other prisoners on the ship, begging for freedom, to be spared, or for just a drop of water. Globox looked at his best friend. He looked very weak and depressed, not at all like the cheerful, glowing hero he knew.
"Rayman……," he prodded his friend. "It's me, Globox. Look, Globox brought gift."
Rayman looked up at the frog. "GLOBOX!" Light returned to his eyes and he hugged his best friend out of sheer joy. They stayed like that for a few moments.
Globox was almost in tears, reunited with the person he missed most. "How are you doing?"
"Not good," Rayman gloomily replied. "The pirates have captured me, and I've lost all my powers. Globox, I think this may be the end." Rayman shook his heavy head.
"No. No. Not the end. Globox brought gift. From Ly."
"Ah? Ly the Fairy!" Rayman exclaimed. How could he forget his powerful fairy friend in a time like this?
"Here." Globox opened his mouth and pulled out a silver lum. He gave it to Rayman, and Rayman instantly felt his powers coming back to him. "YAHOOOOO!" he cheered as he absorbed the silver lum.
Rayman then looked around for an escape. The entrance of his prison cell was blocked with lasers. But to the side there was a little opening blocked with some bandages. He threw a shot from his fists at the bandages at the path was cleared. He and Globox went into the passage and slid down the slippery pipe and slid out of the pirate ship. They have escaped.
Unfortunately, on their way down, Rayman had gotten separated from Globox. Rayman had fallen into the Woods of Light, while Globox had fallen…… somewhere else.
