A/N Back to the HUGE story line, that is NPC 643, JOSH BUTTERSCOTCH VS THE WORLD WIDE WEB, and now THIS MEANS WAR...in third person...this takes place after Josh Butterscotch VS the world wide web.

It's a new dawn

"It's around noon. Next day." Vanellope says, jumping onto Ralph's stomach.
"I'm going back to sleep then." Ralph mumbles, not wanting to wake up. Vanellope jumps onto his stomach again, wanting to do something.

It's been like this the past couple of days. After Josh's funeral, Vanellope has been spending most of her time, abusing, bugging, and hanging out with Ralph.

With no Josh to contain her, Ralph has been put up to the task.

The arcade remains closed, no one knows where mr Litwak is, he was suppose to return two days ago, but hasn't.

"Come on Stink brain! I'm bored!"
"Then sleep. It cures boredom."
"I don't wanna sleep at the castle! I don't like my bed anymore!"
"Why not?" Ralph asks, looking at her. Vanellope crosses her legs.
"The beds too big." She says, frowning. Ralph sighs.
"Well. There's a chair over there. You can sleep on that."
"I'm not sleeping on the brick chair." She says, annoyed, at no offering of a bed. Ralph turns onto his side.

Vanellope sees a spot open, so she jumps for it, lays down, before Ralph can stop her. "Good night Stink brain." She mumbles, getting comfortable. Ralph starts protesting, but stops. He breathes heavily out of his nose, closes his eyes, goes back to sleep. Vanellope grabs Ralph's arm, pulls it over her, closes her eyes, tries to sleep.

Niceland apartment

Felix and Calhoun watch as mr Litwak struggles to push the large crate through the door of the arcade. "Think it's a new game?" Calhoun asks.
"It would explain why he's late." Felix says.

Mr Litwak manages to get the crate through the door. He pushes it to an empty space, across the aisle from Sugar Rush. He takes his coat off, disappears into his office.

"What game do you think it is?" Felix asks.
"Don't know. Don't care." Calhoun says.
"Well you should care." 643 says. The two look behind them, at 643.
"Why should we?" Calhoun asks.
"One game could make a difference. What if it's another Turbo time, or a new Fix it Felix Jr, or a Fix it Felix Sr! Felix is bad enough. What would his dad be like?"
"I don't think Litwak would replace a game that had to be unplugged, and why would they make a Fix it Felix Sr?" 643 shrugs.
"I don't know. Just a guess."

The three turn their attention back to the crate. Litwak exits his office, crow bar in hand. 643 jumps onto the edge of the building, trying to get a better view.

Litwak opens the crate, allowing the wood to fall onto the ground, so he can move to the next piece. Soon the game is revealed. Felix gasps. Calhoun just crosses her arms. 643 wipes his hair back. "Well. I'll be a son of a glitch...speaking of glitch. We should tell Vanellope." 643 says, jumping to the side of the building, onto the fire escape.

He runs to Sugar Rush, followed by Felix, and Calhoun.

Sugar Rush

Candlehead and Rancis are driving up the rainbow road, when they spot 643 running down. Candlehead pulls to a stop in front of him. "Hey! What's up?" She asks.
"Litwak's plugging in a new game!" 643 says, excitedly, pushing Candlehead, her kart, towards the tunnel.

Candlehead slams her foot down, on the gas pedal, followed by Rancis. "Tell your friends!" 643 yells after them.
"Tell your friends what?" Taffyta asks, stopping next to 643.
"They're plugging in a new game!"

Taffyta smiles, follows Candlehead and Rancis through the tunnel. 643 sets his sight onto the castle, his next destination.

Bill opens the door. 643 rolls his eyes, not wanting to see Bill.
"Vanellope here?" He asks.
"No. She went to Felix's game." Bill says. 643 groans.
"I was just there!" He whines.

643 pulls the hover board off his back, opens it, throws it onto the ground, jumps on, flies back to game central.

Once he reaches game central, a huge group of characters, have already gathered in front of the one empty socket. 643 lands next to Felix.

"Vanellope was in your game apparently." 643 says. Felix looks at him.
"She might have gone to Ralph's shack." Felix says. 643 nods. He jumps onto his hover board, flies over to Fix it Felix Jr.

He bursts into the shack, breaking the door, with his hover board, scaring the two awake. "They're plugging in a new game!" 643 yells. He pulls Vanellope onto his hover board, flies out of the shack, back to game central station.

Ralph groans, sits up, slowly makes his way to game central. When he gets there, he's surprised to see a large group of people, looking down the station, he sees Litwak's laptop, still plugged in. Ralph walks over, to stand at the back of the crowd. Vanellope sees him, so she glitches onto his shoulder.

"What game do you think it is?" She asks. Ralph shrugs.
"Could be anything." He says. A light flashes, as the plug makes it way into the socket. It gets plugged in. Everyone turns their attention to the name, waiting for it to show.

"Generating world. What kinda game is that?" Vanellope asks.
"No. Their world is generating, so we can't enter yet." Ralph says. Vanellope groans.
"How long will that take?"
"I don't know. Depends on how long it takes them to walk around their world." Vanellope groans again.
"What if they're slow?"
"It'll show the games name is a second." Ralph says, pointing at the screen above the entrance.

Vanellope looks up. The name slowly rolls into view. "Rise of the warrior?" Vanellope says. Ralph crosses his arms.
"I wonder how many character there are." He says. Vanellope narrows her eyes.
"There's something about this game...it just feels weird."
"What is it?"
"This game...feels familiar." She says.

"Rise of the warrior...what was the name of Josh's game?" Ralph asks.
"Path of the warrior." 643 says, walking up next to them.
"Do you think it's related to Josh's game?" Vanellope asks. 643 crosses his arms.
"It probably is. If it is, then it could have another Josh in it." Vanellope smiles, she glitches over to the game entrance, runs in. Ralph, rolls his eyes, follows her.

Vanellope runs into the game. Ralph grabs the back of her hood, before she falls into the black and blue void. "What's that!" Vanellope yells pointing into a random direction. Ralph looks, allowing Vanellope to glitch away. She lands on top of the void, making shards of glass like things appear below her, forming the ground. She runs further into the void, determined to find out if there is a Josh in this game.

Ralph watches her run for a couple minutes, before following her. 643 flies into the game, throwing the board under Ralph's foot, sending him flying towards Vanellope. "This'll be quicker!" 643 yells, as Ralph flies away. He looks around, taking a couple steps, a tree pops out of the ground. Suddenly someone jumps onto 643's back, throws him away. 643 slides a couple feet, before stopping. He looks up. "Billy?"

Vanellope glitches through the trees, trying to get away from Ralph. She jumps down onto the ground, runs up the hill. Getting to the top, she sees the village, but it's different, most of the buildings are burnt down, leaving a few standing. She walks down the hill, to the village. "Hello?" She says, looking around. "Anyone here?" "There were people here. They left though." Reginald says. Vanellope looks up at the roof, where Reginald is sitting.
"Why did they leave?" She asks.
"Kid got the power. Destroyed the kingdom." Reginald says.
"Kid? A kid did all of this?"

Reginald jumps down, next to Vanellope. "Not just any kid. The kid."
"What kid? How did he do all of this?" Reginald ignores her.
"Raised by ninjas, given god like powers by a wizard, mind molded by bandits, power justified by the king." Reginald says, mystically, slowly waving his arms around. He walks circles around Vanellope. "This guy was...is strong. The king, the bandits, the ninjas, and even I, banded together, but we were not strong enough. So, its up to the player to stop him."

Vanellope crosses her arms. "Who is this kid?" She asks.
"He who shall not be named." Reginald whispers. Vanellope raises an eyebrow.
"You mean Voldemort?" Reginald lowers his arms.
"No! Not Voldemort!" Reginald says, walking away. Vanellope follows him.
"Okay! I'm sorry! Who is this kid?" Reginald stops waking, looks down at her.
"Cameron. But everyone just calls him Cam." He says, shrugging.

"Cameron? That doesn't sound very scary." She says.
"It doesn't. Not our problem the programmers named him that. Used to be a good guy, we were even friends, but then he got his powers from Lampart, lost his mind, destroyed a LOT of things, and made his base at the end of the river." Reginald says, before walking through the town again. Vanellope keeps following him.

Ralph flies down next to the two.
"Did you find what ever it is you were looking for?" Ralph asks. Vanellope shakes her head.
"Nope. No Josh yet." She says. Reginald looks down at Vanellope.
"Who's Josh?" He asks.
"He would be 643 here." Vanellope tells him. Reginald stops walking.
"643? You mean Cam?" Ralph steps off the hover board.
"Cam? Is that the Josh of this game?" He asks. Reginald crosses his arms.
"I'm guessing so, if he is NPC 643." He says.

Vanellope glitches onto Ralph's shoulders. "Well were off to find this Cam then!" She says. Ralph shrugs.
"Okay. We got time." Ralph says, he looks down at Reginald. "Where can we find Cam?"

Reginald starts laughing.
"He would kill you on site!" He says.
"No! He wouldn't! He's not like that!" Vanellope says, trying to defend Josh.
"I know him, all too well. He's bad. He's killed hundreds of people. Well' that's what my memories tell me." Reginald says.
"Programming means nothing. We're going to find Cam." Ralph says, walking through the village. Reginald shakes his head, before he walks down a different road.
