Chapter 14A: The Echoing Caves
A Robo-Pirate walked in the pouring rain. Strangely, he was not rusting or short-circuiting. He stopped and turned and faced a big, open door. He looked around him to see if anyone's following. Nobody. He walked in and the door closed behind him.
Rayman popped out in the same area from a portal a few moments later. It was raining very heavily and Rayman wasn't wearing any rain gear of any sort for protection. But oh well, a hero's gotta deal with what a hero's gotta deal with, no?
The big door the pirate had walked through was controlled by four switches to open them. Rayman defeated a pirate chasing after him first then went to search for the switches. He found the first one nearby, on the external part of a pirate ship past some carpeted stairs. Good. On to the next.
From the stairs, he jumped onto a grassy ledge where an arrow was pointing to a hole. He jumped down the hole and saw a plum tree and a pool of water. He dived into a pool and swam until he reached an air pocket with a switch No.2 inside. He hit it and swam back up to the plum tree.
He took a plum and threw it onto the nearby robo-PEST-gorilla's head. He then climbed up the rope behind it and went on his way until he found the third switch. It was behind a sleeping pirate that was guarding it. Rayman defeated the pirate and hit the switch. Three down, one to go!
Rayman found the fourth switch on the external part of ANOTHER pirate ship. That was after he rode some flying platforms, got past a piranha pond with a water wheel in it, and hit a button that opened a gate for only a few seconds for him to pass through. The big door was fully unlocked now. Rayman walked into the door and jumped down a hole.
Rayman was then in a dark, cave-y swamp of some sort with green, toxic water. He had to light a keg on fire again with a torch to ride across the swamp. But first, he picked up a ked and threw it at the door behind him. It burst open and there was a cage behind it. He broke it open. Cage number 47. Three more and he'll have an energy bar extension.
Then he lit that keg on fire and off he goes! He landed on a platform in the middle of the swamp, collected everything he could collect (and smashed another cage), lit another keg and continued the rest of the ride. With the keg, he flew up to another cavern with a Teensie sign on the ceiling and let go of the keg. He then jumped down the hole where the arrow was pointing and found himself in an old level……
