The time for combat has come. Volunteers form small resistance groups and throw themselves into battle with the evil aggressors. Rayman and his friend Globox go to the edge of The Great Forest, where the largest group of pirates is located.

Rayman jumps from a tree and activates his helicopter for a soft landing in the middle of a thicket of bushes. "The Pirates are coming straight at us!” cries Rayman to his friend. "Get ready!"

The earth suddenly begins to tremble... Several trees collapse, creating a passageway for an army of robots. The battle begins! Rayman leaps i n t o a c t i o n , s e n d i n g m e t a l monsters flying with his powerful energy spheres.

heads. A robo-pirate, creaking horribly, crashes to the ground. "Not bad, Globox!" shouts Rayman with a smile. G l o b o x t r i e s t o a n s w e r , b u t Rayman doesn't hear. The strained face of Ly has just appeared in his mind. "Rayman...," begins Ly, in a weary voice, "the pirates have broken the heart of the world. The energy has scattered. Other than Clark, all of our brave warriors have been captured..."

In shock from this terrible news, Rayman is taken by surprise by a g i g a n t i c r o b o t t h a t p i n s h i m between its powerful pinchers. He t r i e s t o c r e a t e a n e w e n e r g y sphere in the palm of his hands, but to no avail. The destruction of the Primordial Core has taken away all of his powers... He shouts to his friend in despair. "Globox, they've got me! Save yourself!" "But... but... what about you?!" "No time to explain! Go find Ly, she'll tell you what to do!" After a moment of hesitation, Globox dodges between the feet of the robots, and plunges into the high grass. An evil laugh rings out. Rayman turns… and sees Razorbeard, the leader of the Pirates.

"Now I’ve got you, Rayman! You'll

"Now I’ve got you, Rayman! You'll soon be my most obedient slave...! " Rayman tries to free himself, but the iron grip of the robot tightens around him. He gives Razorbeard a m e n a c i n g l o o k a n d s h o u t s defiantly: "It's not over yet, pirate! I'll find a way to escape and then I'll make you wish you'd never been born!"

twist of fate or whim of the gods Rayman came to appear at the Glade of Dreams. All we know of Rayman comes from the fishermen of the Sea of Lums. On a particularly stormy night, they found Rayman sleeping peacefully under the shade of a palm tree.

F r i g h t e n e d b y t h i s s t r a n g e creature from the sea, they called on the people of the forest, the skies and the waters for help. And the sun had not yet reached the zenith when a host of incredibly strange beings came tumbling over the violet sand dunes. They studied him for a long time. "What kind of creature can possibly exist without arms or legs?" they asked each other. "It’s almost impossible to believe that he’s alive," said o n e o f t h e m w h e n R a y m a n stretched and yawned loudly. It didn't take Rayman long to convince the people of the Glade of Dreams of his good intentions. His energy and good humour, his fantastical powers and love for life
