Chapter 1: Enter the Freaks

*After running out of the Fairy Council, Rayman decides he's bored once again, but he's still wondering about the two icons on the desktop*

Rayman: Say, Murfy, what happens when you activate those icons?

Murfy: Uh, well, I haven't really tried it yet.

Globox: Maybe you can re-inact the Robo-Pirate era! And that little known time when Rayman was at who-knows-where.

Murfy: Uh- (oh man, if he hears about this, he'll flip!)

Rayman: That would certainly be cool. I'd like to smash that Razorbeard and Mr. Dark again!

Globox: Who's Mr. Dark?

Murfy: Guhguhguhguhguh- I dunno, this really isn't a good time, I'm kinda hungry and, uh--- they say you shouldn't describe computer things on an empty stomach or you'll get RED DEATH!!!

Globox: I'm scared.

Rayman: Okay, enough movies for you.

*There is a small crash heard inside the Fairy Council*

Globox: What was that?

Murfy: (praise Polokus! A disctraction!) Let's see.

*The three go inside the council, only to meet up with a couple of Teensies*

Teensie 1: Rayman! We're so glad you're here! Something horrible has happened!

Teensie 2: We were walking in the hall, when suddenly something burst out of the wall! It was just freaky!

Rayman: What did this thing look like?

Teensie 1: Well, he was kinda short, but when we tried to confront him, he kinda started firing.

Rayman: Firing what? Teensie 2: Bullets.

Globox: Uh, this doesn't sound good. We've had experience fighting beams launched out of arms and guns, but not actual bullets!

Teensie 1: Well, he kinda said, "Long live the Freaks!" and then he went back into the collapsed wall.

Murfy: Well, do you think we have a traitor Teensie on our hands?

Teensie 1: Couldn't be.

Teensie 2: The rules say nobody can become a traitor on Fridays from 6 till 9. It's currently 7:30 on Friday. So, the answer is no, I guess.

Rayman: I think I should check this out a little more closely.

Teensie 2: Here, we'll show you where he came out of.

*Rayman follows the two Teensies to the collapsed wall. However, the wall goes right into the chamber with the computer*

Rayman: Why do I get the feeling this isn't going to end nicely.

Teensie 1: You're probably right. Enemies don't just disappear into thin air like that.

*The computer starts to shake*

Rayman: What the? That's not supposed to happen.

Teensie 2: It's not?

*Suddenly, another small creature comes out of the computer*

???: Hi.

Rayman: Um, hello. Do you mind telling us how you just did that?

???: Ah, that was nothing. COME ON GUYS!

*A whole mess of small guys suddenly emerges from the computer*

Teensie 2: Phew, they're not armed.

???: Nope, we're just messengers. We gotta see the head of this place. Bye.

*All of them head down the corridor towards the Heart of the World*

Rayman: I better have a closer look at that computer. You think it's haunted?

Teensie 1: Hope not.

*Rayman goes towards the computer, when suddenly a spear comes out, poking Rayman in his left hand*

Rayman: OW! What the hey! Now I really think something's going on here.

*Meanwhile, the messengers reach the Heart*

Grand Minimus: Okay, who are you? You're not in my book.

???: We're messengers of the Cyber Freaks. We've come to tell you that in moments, your world is doomed. We're also selling Cyber Scout cookies at 20 Tings a pound. Want some?

Grand Minimus: Our world is doomed? What??? You must be lying! But I am intrested in those cookies you're selling. Are they good with milk?

???: Um, gotta go! Take a free sample! Happy apocalypse!

*The messengers disappear*

Grand Minimus: Yuck, tastes like microchips.

*Meanwhile, back at the computer*

Rayman: Okay, is this a prank??? Who just tried to stab me with that spear?

Teensie 1: It's nowhere near April Fool's day. Something about this just doesn't seem right at all.

*Suddenly, a large figure comes out of the computer*

???: Aah, finally! This world! And look, natives!

Teensie 2: This guy doesn't look all that friendly. Anybody who calles you a native is just going to be trouble in the end.

???: Hey, you! Limbless guy! You look awfully familiar.

Rayman: Er, oh crap. Dangit. I gotta go! *runs away*

Teensie 1: Hey, what are you doing? Come back here!

???: Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Crant, leader of the Cyber Freaks.

Teensie 2: Do you know a guy who tries to stab people from a computer monitor?

Crant: You mean this guy?

*Another figure comes out of the computer, holding a large silver spear*

Teensie 1: Ulp, you guys aren't good!

Crant: Now, it's time I stopped being so polite. CYBER LEGIONS! ATTACK!!!

*A whole bunch of small creatures come out of the computer, each holding a spear. They surround the two Teensies*

Teensie 1: What the heck is going on here???

Crant: You'll see. Actually, what am I saying? No, you won't. Dispose of them!

Legions: Yes, sir!

*Crant walks away in the path where Rayman ran, while the Cyber Freak legions advance on the two Teensies. There is a loud shreiking noise, and then silence. Meanwhile, Rayman, Globox and Murfy are all outside*

Murfy: Okay, explain to me slowly what happened in there.

Rayman: I saw him! His horrible figure! My cr-

*Crant suddenly bursts outside, along with his legions*

Crant: You have only seen a small sample of my incredible power! The Cyber Freaks devour all, and they will devour you!

*Am alarm sounds at the Fairy Council*

Rayman: OH NO! IT'S HIM!

Globox: What? Why are you scared of him? Well, more scared than me anyway?

Crant: Aha! I knew you looked familliar! We meet again, program GL47!

Rayman: NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

*Rayman charges at Crant, but he is blocked by the legions and their spears*

Crant: So, you thought you evaded me, GL47. Well, you won't escape this time!

Murfy: Rayman, what the heck is this program GL47?

*Unfortunately, Rayman is paralyzed with fear*

Globox: I think we should run.

Murfy: Agreed.

*Globox and Murfy go in the opposite direction at full speed*

Crant: Hahahaha! Look at them run! Legions! Seize this traitor and follow me. This planet is ours!

*As the legions advance on Rayman, he jumps and starts throwing punches*

Crant: You've gotten a tad weak. Maybe you should work out more!

Rayman: I don't need any of your smart-mouth. You might be the most gruesome figure of my past, but you're still just another baddie, and we will defeat you like the scum you are!

Crant: I don't think so. BOMBERS! ATTACK!

*A few flying creatures come out of the computer anf fly out of the Fairy Council. They begin dropping bombs everywhere*

Rayman: You, you, you fiend!

Crant: You don't know what you're in for, GL47.
