-Meanwhile...-
Globox: I'm getting bored in ways that don't exist.
Murfy: Yeah yeah, I'm bored too. Problem is, if we leave this cave, the Cyber Freaks will have us for sure, so we're forced to stay here until everything dies down.
Globox: Everything dies?!
Murfy: Dies DOWN, stupid.
Globox: Oh, I don't care anymore. Anything just to get out of this damp, dirty rut!
-Globox bolts for the cave exit-
Murfy: Hey, wait! Stop, you're dead meat if you go outside!
Globox: I don't care anymore!!!
-Just before Globox reaches the outside world, he bumps into Clyde-
Clyde: Sunday driver! Listen, brother! We've got major problems on our hands!
Murfy: Why? What's going on?
Clyde: Rayman's been transformed and Crant is running rampant throughout the Fairy Council! Things are getting real hectic real fast!
Murfy: Oh? And what do you suppose we could do about it?
Clyde: I have a plan. Listen and listen hard, I'm only going to say this once.
-Murfy and Clyde begin whispering things to each other. Meanwhile, back at the Fairy Council...-
Crant: I've been waiting for this moment to happen for a long time. Ready, old man?
-A portal appears in the middle of the Heart-
Polokus: Your foolish insults entertain only yourself. We shall do battle in the spiritual sanctuary. Enter the portal, unless you value your pathetic existence.
Crant: Let me give you a hand!
-Crant tackles Polokus and the two of them fall into the portal, which immediately closes. All of the Teensies in the room, including Otto, are completely stupefied by this event-
Grand Minimus 1: So............ any word on the whereabouts of Romeo and Art Rytus?
Otto: Deceased at the hands of Crant. They truly didn't deserve it. Nobody did.
Grand Minimus: 2: Oh, that's so depressing... hey what happened to your accent?
Otto: Ah, who can act like a fake German at a time like this?
-Meanwhile, inside the portal, Crant and Polokus stand in the middle of a circular arena surrounded by many Teensie statues and glittering orbs. A huge beam of power radiates from a statue depicting the planet-
Polokus: I shall give you one final chance. Leave our world now and no harm will come unto you.
Crant: I've got a better idea. Why don't you shove off and let me rule this world. Then I could create a haven for all my cyber brethren!
Polokus: I have seen your actions. They are that of a bloodthirsty supervillain. I cannot allow you to dominate our world.
Crant: In that case, prepare for a beatdown!
-Crant begins to charge up a dark orb of raw power. Polokus does the same with a light orb. The two fire, orbs hitting in midair. There is little effect-
Crant: Very nice. Let's see how the iron figure of the Heart fares against THIS!
-Crant takes out a staff and smashes it on the ground. Many ghostly hands appear from the floor and tread towards Polokus-
Polokus: Dark powers such as yours cannot harm me. Feel my wrath!
-Polokus waves his arms and sucks all the hands into his body. After a second or so, he fires them all in a beam of light, directly hitting Crant and sending him crashing into the wall-
Crant: Ugh... but... how? I feel so weak...
Polokus: I am rather surprised that I have not taken you out with one mere blow. You are more resistant than I previously imagined. I will give you one last chance to redeem yourself. Leave now with your underlings and I will forgive you for this...
Crant: .......I accept your offer. I am too weak to get up, please help me...
Polokus: A wise decision. I shall help you back into the portal.
-Polokus helps Crant up, who limps towards the portal-
Polokus: Leave now.
Crant: Thank you. I'm so glad that I have a friend like... PSYCHE!!!
-Crant suddenly turns around and slashes Polokus with a dark claw, giving him a large pitch-black laceration in the middle of his chest-
Polokus: Arrrrrrrrrrrgh! You are nothing but a liar! Prepare to be vaporized, mortal!
Crant: Spare me the prologue and die already!
-Polokus lunges at Crant, but misses. Crant leaps into the air and punches Polokus in the back of his head-
Polokus: Resistance is futile. Fall!!!
-Polokus releases a bolt of lightning at Crant, scoring a direct hit. Crant soars through the arena in smoke and smashes against the back wall-
Polokus: It is done. I have emerged victorious.
Crant: No... you... haven't...
Polokus: What? You're still breathing?
Crant: This... form.... is merely a shell... now you will... see my... true power...
-Crant's body dissolves into a black powder. From the powder emerges a cloud of black smoke with many 1s and 0s engulfed inside-
Polokus: What sort of deviltry is this?!
Crant: I have been waiting to unleash my true form since the beginning of time, but I have never felt the urgency nor the power gushing through my veins. Now, it is time to destroy YOUR pathetic existence!
Polokus: I WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!!!
-Polokus unleashes a ray of light at the cloud, but there is no effect. The beam simply travels through-
Crant: Missed me.
Polokus: Fine. If I cannot beat you in combat, I can exile you to the depths of the core of the planet for all eternity!
Crant: Show me...
-Polokus attempts to run up to the beam of energy forming from the planet statue, but he suddenly gasps and falls-
Polokus: No... my wound...
Crant: Slow-acting poison. It slowly spreads until it finds the perfect moment to strike.
Polokus: Must... reach the beam...
Crant: Not if I reach it first!
-The black cloud hovers towards the beam. Polokus struggles to get up, but it is too late. Crant reaches the beam of power first. The entire arena is engulfed in darkness-
Polokus: No... it can't be...
Crant: The cataclysm begins NOW! BE GONE!!!
Polokus: You... son of a...
-Polokus falls and seemingly evaporates into the darkness-
Crant: All riiiiiight! Time to begin my brief reign! But first, I must alert my troops...
-Crant sends an dark pulse through the now black energy beam. After it reached the surface world, every remaining Cyber Freak begins to regroup and head toward the Fairy Council-
Crant: They should reach Cyberspace shortly. Now, as for the rest of the world...
-Crant sends violent bright waves through the energy beam. The entire arena begins to crumble-
Crant: I will be destroyed along with this world, but so be it. The Cyber Freaks will consume all!
-The rememants of the arena and the beam disappear into nothingness. Meanwhile, at the Heart...-
Otto: What is going on here? The Heart is growing weaker!
Grand Minimus 3: Oh no... Polokus must have lost...
Otto: But it's not possible! If Polokus is dead, then that means...
-The Heart fizzles and disappears. The entire planet begins to shake-
Otto: Without the power of the Yellow Lums and the central core flowing through the heart, we are doomed! Quickly, we must flee!!!
Grand Minimus 4: Where? THE ENTIRE WORLD IS GONNA BE DESTROYED!!!
Otto: Then there is nothing to do but wait for our doom. The great cataclysm has arrived.
-Outside the Fairy Council, the skies turn blood red as the shaking gets worse. Trees and rocks begin to topple over as the Cyber Legionaries pour into the council-
Elite: Quickly, men! We must make it to Cyberspace, pronto! Crant, you are a hero.
TO BE CONTINUED...?
