Wellity, wellity, wellity. I'm onto the next chappy already. Enjoy... Or else. And please review!

Chapter 1 - Sunrise in Ubix

Mornings in the Ubix Valley are meant to be the most beautiful mornings in the world. Not only do they show the most fantastic sunrises, the many coloured leaves of the Pixele Tree reflect the most amazing array of colours into the sky. So many colours are shown in the sky each morning in the Ubix Valley, in fact, that no matter how many times you saw it, you would always see a new colour never ever before seen in the history of beast-kind. All this, makes the Ubix Valley the most popular tourist destination in the world, and also would suffer the most if ever evil settled there.

Another notable feature of the Ubix Valley is the fact that it is host to the great Fairy Council, the Kingdom of the Teensies and the newly set-up Beasties Palace. More on that place later. But possibly the most prominent feature of the Ubix Valley is it home to the lovable, limbless, three times saviour of the world, hero, Rayman. You knew he'd come there sooner or later, didn't you.

Now, on one particular morning in the Ubix Valley Rayman awoke. And that's when this story officially starts!!!

Green, blue, red, white, purple, googleren, choc choc and yellow sun light streamed through the leafy shade and delicately touched Rayman's eyes. Unlike normal sunlight, it didn't pierce painfully with a red light through your eyelids it just gently reminded you that it was the start of another beautiful morning and that it shouldn't be wasted. Just pure bliss. Rayman smiled, dreamily. He had had a nightmare, but it felt so distant so unimportant that it didn't matter any more. Nothing mattered when this bliss was around.

I'm not going to waste time describing what Rayman looks like. Everybody knows (or everybody who is everybody knows) the limbless body, with yellow shoes with white souls and a purple torso with a twisted ring in the centre and the flowing red cape that very few people remember that he has and the pure strong white hands which can be so gentle (to good guys) and so painful (for bad guys) and his pink head, with his giant nose and connecting eyes and his orange hair which sprouted off into two pieces on either side of his head... Damn it. I didn't mean to do that.

Here he was, all on his own. Bliss. Bliss. Bliss. "You know what," said Rayman, thinking out loud, "I think I'll have a shower..." And off he merrily skipped to the nearest waterfall. This particular waterfall was Rayman's favourite. It's waters were heated by the sun and a hot spring so it gushed down perfect water. Just right. Slipping off his red cape, Rayman stepped into the waterfall. "ARGH!"

"ARGH!" A strange female being was relaxing in the water.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Me, oh I'm Drealy..." she said, as Rayman slipped his red cape back on. "What are you?"

"A Trapnor. One of the last of my kinds."

"A Trapnor?"

"Great name, isn't it." Drealy said sarcastically. Rayman had to admit, he had never before heard of a Trapnor. Whatever. This particular Trapnor looks exactly like a 'what we would think of' as a human. In less you removed the clothes of course. Let's not go into that detail.

After a bit more acquaintance, Rayman felt that Drealy was fast-becoming a friend. She had a tone of amusement in her which Rayman liked. "I haven't seen you around before, have I? You new? A tourist," asked(s) Rayman.

"Well, I'm new. But I should be around here for a while..."

"What you doing here?"

"Taking time out, I suppose. It's tough living in the Plains of Asasara."

"I see."

"My top priorities I want to visit, are the Fairy Council and the discuss the ongoing Teensies Dispute!" The Teensies Dispute had been going on for more than a millennia. They just couldn't decide who was there true king. And who was? Who knows? "Wait a minute... I haven't asked you this," in quested Drealy, "Who are you?"

"I'm Rayman."

"Not, not, not the Rayman!"

"Well, I think I'm the only one. In less that damn internet has copyrighted again."

"The what, now?

"Nothing."

"But hang on. If you're the Rayman then you must have saved the world three times!"

"Yep, that's me..." That's me, replied Rayman, his cockiness level rising a few levels. Drealy look at him, as if stunned. "Could you take me to the Fairy Council and the Teensies Chambers?"

"I guess..."

"GREAT! Could we go now?"

"I don't see why not..."

So off they went. And what else can I say? Well, perhaps, I should just let a little bit of the suspense slip. Something watched them as they had that conversation. And it wasn't exactly a particularly good something. Something, catastrophic was going to happen soon. Something. Something. Something...
