Here is part 5! And guess what? we get a tiny bit of backstory!

Enjoy and please review!


Quark and Talwyn took one of the ships that were at their disposal and started making their way through the plant Talwyn saw Nefarious heading to.

"Did you know exactly where he landed"? Quark asked her.

"I think it's around there." She said pointing at a certain point on the plant and headed there.

Meanwhile, Nefarious and Razorbeard landed on the plant.

"Ah, the glade of dreams…" Razorbeard sighed. "It's been a while; it sure looks greener, cleaner and sunnier… I hate it."

"You can design it as much as you like one we will finish our business in here." Nefarious cut the robot's thoughts.

Their arrival wasn't a quit one as an alarm was heard in the heart of the world and got the presents attention.

Everyone looked around them as Ratchet asked "I guess you have a visitor… a visitor I would like to meet?" He hit his wrench against his hand, obviously ready to get back at Razorbeard.

"That was sure quick" Rayman said before coming up with a plan.

"Your majesty, you Globox and Barbara check the north side of the glade. Ratchet, Clank and I will check the south side".

"My favorite time of the day"! Barbara stated happily, spinning her axe in her hand before running off, the rest of her team on her hails.

Rayman turned to Ratchet and Clank a second after. "You two ready?"

Clank jumped and attached himself to Ratchet's back while Ratchet pulled out his famous blaster.

"We are always ready"

After the two teams split up Barbara asked her companions what Razorbeard looks like. She was new in the glade, meeting Rayman and his friends not too long ago. To date she is the second living being that wasn't dreamed by Polukus, the one who created the glade of dreams, the first is Rayman himself. However, Rayman still remained somewhat similar to the others she seemed to be from a different universe all together. Since her arrival everyone tried to find out where she came from but with no luck, she did seem to get around though.

A few minutes have passed before the trio heard a noise, kind of like something powering down. The trio followed the sound until they reached an opening. There was a ship there, and from there came out a large creature who looked kind of like Barbara but way bigger and he had only 3 fingers instead of 5 like her. There was also a female alien with a red bandana over her head and she was armed.

Quark noticed the 3 observers looking at them and decided to address them as peacefully as he can.

"Greetings! My name is Captain Quark, commander of the Q-Force and Ex-galactic president" He looked sad while acknowledging the "Ex".

Talwyn stepped forward to introduce herself. "And I'm Talwyn, we come in peace. We have detected a galactic criminal heading towards your plant and we fear he may cause it damage".

"You are after Razorbeard as well?" Globox asked.

The two shared confused looks.

"We came after Dr. Nefarious, Frogman." Quark said.

"Well, the search for the duck robot continuous." Barbara signed.

Talwyn the remembered the other robot she saw alongside Nefarious in his ship.

"Did you just say "Duck robot"?

"Yeah. Why?"

Talwyn suddenly seemed more worried.

"I think whoever you're looking for is cooperating with the guy we are looking for".

The three of them raised an eyebrow.

"That's not good" The king said. "We better find Rayman, Ratchet and Clank"

Both Talwyn and Quark gasped in surprise.

"Did you just say "Ratchet and Clank"? Talwyn asked exited.

"You know them"?

"Of course! The 2 privates serve with us in the Q-Force"! Quark said proudly.

"Everything seems to fall into place now…" Barbara smiled from understanding. "We got to find them before they will run into those 2!"

Meanwhile, the second group continued their search.

"So… what is up with you being limbless?" Ratchet asked.

"Just… burn like that" Rayman said. "I wasn't from here originally; I was teleported here one day as I was a "chosen one" or something…"

Both Ratchet and Clank looked at each other before Clank asked "Chosen to do what?"

"Save this place I guess, I already did it several times."

"Several?" Ratchet asked.

"Yeah"

Suddenly all of them heard speaking sounds and started advancing towards them.

In front of them stood Razorbeard, looking like he is talking to someone.

"There he is!" Ratchet said almost jumping instantly at the robot.

Rayman started charging his fist and lunched it at Reazorbeard who was knocked back by the impact.

Rayman jumped and landed a kick on his head. "We sure haven't seen each other for a while".

"You!"

Ratchet and Clank then moved next to Rayman, Ratchet aiming his blaster towards Razorbeard.

"Remember us?" Ratchet asked, triumph.

"Nefarious, a little help here"!

"Nefarious?" Clank asked in shock

The other blue robot arrived at the scene and noticed his 2 arch enemies.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTC CCCCCCCC… Oh no, Janice! I will never leave you again!"

Rayman couldn't believe the breakdown level Nefarious reached and started laughing at the sight.

Ratchet then shot at Nefarious which caused him to return to his senses.

"…CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

Razorbeard used the unfocused Rayman to run away back to Nefariouses side and both prepared for battle.

"Leave Nefarious to us" Ratchet said.

"Then I'm going for Razorbeard"


I never thought reading the full "Knowledge of the lums" in Rayman 2 would help me during my life but... guess it did. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, if you collect all the lums in Rayman 2(I'm pretty sure it's NOT in the "Revolution" version nor the PS1 version but it's on the PC, Dreamcast and N64 versions) you can read some sort of an history abot polukus and how he created everyone there with the exeption of Rayman himself. It also says that Rayman might be a "Chosen one" but that was never built upon so I'm using it here, it will come to play later as the saga go on.

As for Barbara... all I'm saying is that her backstory will be a main key for one of the crossovers that will come later, she is actually the reason this crossover could and hopefully, when the time comes, would work.

Don't forget to review!
