A/N: Hey, guys! Happy 2021! Let's see where we left off in history. In the previous chapter, Rayman, disheartened by his fight with Globox, talked in a dream with Polokus, who encouraged him to look for him and explained to him the reason for his strange behavior. Now he has to look for him in heaven. Let's begin.


(''Bubbly Clouds- Kirby's Epic Yarn OST'')

The next morning, Rayman woke up feeling the sun beat against his eyes. He was very grateful to Polokus for encouraging him not to give up, and thanks to him, he felt much better. ''Hey, Rayman. Are you all right?'' Murfy asked him. Ly also came.

''I'm better now, Murfy.'' he replied.'' Let's go find Globox in the sky, via the ice platform in the Iron Mountains.''

''Good morning, Rayman. I see you feel better.'' Ly said, noting the expression on the limbless hero's face.

''Good morning, Ly. Talking to Polokus helped me a lot, and now I know we have to find Globox.'' Rayman replied.

''Good. I will take you to the top of the Iron Mountains with magic. Brace yourselves, they are far from here.'' said the fairy. Both Rayman and Murfy took her hand as Ly teleported them near the ice platform. They got on it, and after a minute, they arrived at their destination.

''Ican see the whole of the Glade of Dreams from here.'' Rayman murmured, seeing the whole world from under the clouds.

''Yes, and falling at this height is very dangerous. Be careful not to fall. '' Murfy said.

''To overcome these huge precipices, you will have to use the Throttle Copter when you need to. You'll also find some Blue Lum trails, so use them to get to the other side more easily.'' Ly added.

Murfy saw a small Hoodlum fortress on the other side, and flew towards it. Ly did the same by taking a huge jump(1), and Rayman reached them using the Throttle Copter, following a trail of Blue Lum that carried him to destination. Before entering, they were attacked by three Hoodstormers and four Hoodblasters.

Murfy tickled one of the Hoodmongers, and Ly fired a magical orb at the enemy that exploded, knocking it out of the clouds, while Rayman fired both his fists at two other Hoodmongers from either side, then placed his hands on the ground and separated both feet, hitting them with a split so powerful that they crashed into each other, being then knocked out by a Magic Fist, but the limbless hero was shot by the Hoodstormers in the process.

Ly then fired a fire spell, which was dodged, but with an ice spell, she froze the propellers of the three Hoodstormers, which Rayman quickly defeated with the Heavy Metal Fist, then, they went inside.

In the fortress, Rayman, Murfy and Ly saw a Spinneroo different from the others, with a helmet, a sword and a shield. ''Careful! An Armed Spinneroo! It attacks using a sword and does not spin like normal Spinneroo, but it also uses a shield to protect itself, giving it great versatility and making it a difficult opponent to face, so see if you can attack it from behind, as you hit it on the head it's useless. Rayman, remember that like normal Spinneroos, this Hoodlum takes recoil when you hit it, so you can drop it if it's near a hole.'' Murfy said, analyzing it.

The Armed Spinneroo made an outward slash with his sword, which was dodged, but another one inwards hit Ly in the shoulder as she tried to charge magical energy. Rayman rolled behind the enemy and hit it with an uppercut followed by a side kick and a roundhouse kick, then fired his fist at it. However, when he fired his Magic Fist, it was blocked by the Spinneroo's shield, leaving him exposed to an upward arching slash, which narrowly missed him, as he separated his chest from the rest, then used the Bodyshot, which hit the shield, however. The Armed Spinneroo leapt to strike with a thrust, which Ly dodged and then released a magical discharge that penetrated the Hoodlum's armor.

''This enemy is really tough.'' Rayman said.

''It is.'' Ly commented. Using a wind magic, she threw the Hoodlum against the wall, and the Guardian of the Glade of Dreams finished it off with the Shock Rocket Fist. A little further on, they destroyed the fortress generator and got out of there before the explosion.

''Polokus told us that Globox should be here, but I'm starting to have some doubts. He could be anywhere in the Glade of Dreams.'' Murfy said.

''Murfy ihas a point. I don't see a trace of Globox anywhere, and even if he were here, he may already have succumbed to the control of André's spirit, and I don't want that to happen because of what happened yesterday. ' Rayman commented, with some sadness in his voice. Even though talking to Polokus had made him feel better, those worries of his had not left his head.

''It's not your fault, Rayman. Sure, none of us noticed until the last moment, but I'm sure Globox is fine.''

''I hope you're right, Ly.'' Rayman replied. '' I just have no idea where can he be, and I don't think it's here.''

''Rayman, I'll take you in flight so you can better see if it's somewhere around here. You may run into some Hoodstormers, so shoot your limbs or use the Magic Fist if you see them.'' Murfy said.

''Thanks, Murfy.'' said the limbless hero, as Murfy grabbed him by the hair and began to carry him in flight.

There are also some Hoodmonger Officers over there. I'll join you shortly. '' Ly said.

As Murfy carried him from one cloud group to another, Rayman defeated some Hoodstormers who attempted to ambush him, while Ly, below them, was facing several Hoodmonger Officers. Their quantity was giving her a bit of a challenge, but with her speed and magic, she managed to overwhelm them. ''There's nothing here.'' Rayman said. ''Murfy, do you see anything?''

''I'll check it out from higher up.'' Murfy replied. He started to gain altitude to check out a larger area, but he was so high up that it was difficult and tiring, and besides that, he saw nothing. ''No, I'm sorry. Globox is nowhere. All I see is Ly fighting the Hoodlums from below.''

The two quickly got out to continue on foot, and Rayman used the Helicopter, following the Blue Lum trails, and reached Ly, who had defeated the Hoodlums.

''I used magic to try to sense Globox's presence, but it wasn't there. Have you two seen him?'' the fairy asked.

''Unfortunately not. We checked from above, but Globox is nowhere. Maybe he's not here.'' Murfy replied.


Soon after, the three received a telepathic message from Polokus. ''Rayman, Ly, Murfy, did you manage to find Globox?'' he asked them.

"We checked the area, but Globox isn't there." Ly replied.

''What a pity. I knew that if Globox was going to give in to control of André's spirit, then I thought he would be hiding in a very unlikely place, which is why I asked you three to check in the sky. I thought he went there, but I was wrong.'' Polokus said.

''Did the Teensies go looking for him?'' Rayman asked.

''Yes, they split up and searched some areas of the Glade of Dreams, but it was nowhere. I'm really sorry.'' the god replied.

Suddenly, there were sounds of explosions, and Polokus suddenly became serious. ''There was an attack. Rayman, Murfy, Ly, go back to the Fairy Council.'' he said.

''What's going on? '' Murfy asked.

''There are several Hoodlums in the area. Clark is fighting them, but he needs your help, so head back to the Fairy Council and give him a hand. Now I've woken up and I'm trying to figure out what's happening to Globox, and I'll tell you everything when I know more. See you later.'' the spirit of the world replied, and the message ended.

''Come on, before they destroy everything.'' Rayman said, jumping out of the clouds, followed by Ly and Murfy, who flew in a nosedive.

''It's better if you use the helicopter, or you will crash to the ground(2).'' Ly reminded him, and the Guardian of the Glade of Dreams activated the helicopter to slow the fall at the end of the descent.


A/N: It looks like Globox didn't go to the sky. And the Fairy Council is under siege by the Hoodlums! Where is Globox and what happened to him? Has he succumbed to the control of André's spirit? Find out in the next chapter! See you soon!

(1): As seen in Rayman 2, Ly is very agile, jumping drastically higher than Rayman and running faster than him.

(2): In Hoodlums' Revenge, in the levels set in the clouds, there are huge precipices that cause instant death by falling into them, as well as in Rayman 3 , where there was only one in the third phase of the final battle. Unlike Rayman 2, where Rayman takes damage by falling into the void but not falling from above, in Rayman 3, if he falls too high without activating the helicopter, he gets hurt and moves slower for a couple seconds. The same happens if he is knocked to the ground by a Heckler.
