Chapter 3 - A Not So Warm Welcome

Razorbeard, the second evil to try and take over the world, stared coldly at a shivering creature with a huge nose. "So," he (or it) said coldly, "What is this information?"

"I'm not saying anything!"

"Okay," said Razorbeard, his eyes narrowing. He would have to try a different tact. "You've told me there is a new evil. The biggest threat ever... Bigger than me... What is it?!"

"I honestly don't know!"

"TELL ME!"

"I don't KNOW!" wept the big-nosed creature.

"Who else knows?"

"No one. I was the only one to survive!"

"Survive? What do you mean, survive?" The screams lasted for over an hour. Meanwhile, a shadow overlooked at the scene. 'Just as I planned,' thought the shadow and disappeared off into the darkness.

On a much brighter note, Globox, Rayman, Chippy and Drealy happily walked along the woodland path. Globox was contemplating the meaning of life: (food or sleep?), Chippy was carefully avoiding anything that would make him do a clumsy thing (failing miserably), Drealy was anticipating greatly the arrival at the Fairy Council and Rayman was trying to summon the courage to put his arm around Drealy.

They reached a cross-sign. Ahead of them was the Beastie's Palace, to the left of them was the Pixele Tree and to the right of them was the Fairy Council and the Teensies Chamber. "We go right, yeah?" asked Drealy.

"Yeah," whimpered Rayman, his courage completely evaporating.

"Food, definitely food," said Globox randomly.

"Right, it is, then," someone said as Chippy fell down an embankment. "I'm okay!" he cried up, literally crying.

The sun was now getting quite high in the sky and noon was almost upon them. "How long," groaned Globox and Chippy in unison.

"About a mile, more."

"Cool!" smiled Drealy. Rayman laughed pathetically. They continued.

"Are we nearly there yet?" said Globox.

"No." said Rayman.

"Are we nearly there yet?" said Chippy.

"No." said Rayman.

"Are we nearly there yet?" said Globox.

"Just shut up."

"Ok. Are we nearly there yet?"

"AARRGGHH!!"

Drealy laughed. Rayman laughed pathetically. They continued. After about five minutes, they passed an acorn tree. "NUTS!" shouted Chippy and ran forward, falling over acorns.

"It's tiring, but do you have to swear?"

"Good one!" laughed Drealy.

"Good what?"

"Doesn't matter..."

"No, it does!"

"How far anyway?" inquired Drealy.

"We've got to find an acorn tree. It's the secret entr - Oh right." Rayman, Drealy and Globox ran after Chippy. Rayman, cleared away some acorns, revealing a strange symbol. He spoke some strange words and the symbol shone bright red. A silver tube rose up from the ground, rather like a periscope. "Time for Tubby Bye-Bye. Time for Tubby Bye-Bye."

"Lieutenant Minimus! How dare you!" came another voice, somewhat more aggressive.

"Sorry, m'am. It's just, you've got to admit, the silver tube does look like -"

"Oh, just shut up! Who is it?"

"Rayman."

"Access denied."

"What?"

"I said, access denied. Now poodlewoop off."

"But I'm Rayman. I've saved the world, three times."

"Access denied. Goodbye."

The silver tube slid into the ground. "I don't believe it!" said Rayman. "After all I've done for them." Drealy frowned, and sat next to him. "I'm sure there's an explanation...!"

"At least we haven't been attacked by anything." Growling filled the air. "Hounds have been released. I hope you have enjoyed your stay. Goodbye."

"I thought you had studied Sod's Law."

"Oh yeah."

"Err, guys?"

"What?"

Chippy screamed: "RRRRRRRUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
