Hey, everyone. Ever since I saw Wreck-It Ralph, it has opened my eyes to the game world that I always wanted to know. And since Sonic got to cameo in the movie, I wanted all my stories to be centered around our favorite blue hedgehog. Disclaimer: I do not own "Wreck-It Ralph or Sonic the Hedgehog."

Chapter 1:

A New Rush

Welcome to Game Central Station, a place of pure peace and tranquility located in Litwak's Arcade as the videogame characters you all know and love are here to do their jobs as...well, videogame characters. But when the arcade closes, they stopped what doing a take a break like us. The only difference is that they don't get paid for their services (except for Sugar Rush) because their game mechanics don't allow them to keep their special achievements or rewards. And speaking of Sugar Rush, the entire cast was feeling "down in the dumps" for some reason. Lets find out why...

Sugar Rush...

The Sugar Rush racers were in one of their deepest slumps ever. Why? Because with Litwak on a vacation getaway cruise to celebrate a family member's honeymoon, Game Central Station has been at its slowest pace without any "players" to play their games. Now the racers are wondering what to do next. They were all sitting on their butts just trying to decide some kind of "racing themed" idea that they all could agree on. After minutes of complete silence with some agonizing grunts from characters who were trying to think, someone finally broke the silence.

"Man, this is boring," Rancis said feeling impatient and agitated at the same time. "I feel like pulling out my own teeth to past the time."

"I know what you mean," Gloyd answered feeling his grief. "For once, I don't feel like pranking someone... and I ALWAYS feel like pranking someone."

"I mean, I love racing as much as the next guy but the same courses, same line-ups and the same game mechanics. Don't you guys think all of this can get kind of old," Rancis asked despite making a good point to the others.

"Well, ya but this is "our" game, we need to keep racing even if we don't like it," Vanellope countered. "I'm just saying that despite our game, our home, do you think there are any other racing games out there that we don't know about," Swizzle trying to calm himself down. "Well... no but maybe "we" know someone who does," Vanellope assured her friends. "Who," everyone shouted in unison.

"Sonic the Hedgehog," she answered. Everyone fell backwards anime-style while Taffyta thought," She is out of her mind but she might be onto something." "There is no way that Sonic the Hedgehog has any racing games, Minty said with an outburst. "Well, Minty why don't we all go find out if that's a fact," Vanellope said feeling triumphant as they all went in the direction of the exit to Game Central Station.

Game Central Station (GCS)...

As the racers walked into the Main Arcade Hub, completely ignoring the Surge Protector who was eyeing them of being suspicious as he flashed away into the outlet. They were greeted by numerous characters who stopped to say hello or tell them about their day. They made their way to the center of the huge room waiting for Sonic to do something. And as on cue, the Public Service Announcement screen turned onto a live feed broadcast of everyone's favorite blue blur, Sonic. Although, some people simply walked past the screen, ignoring the announcement but Sonic doesn't care as long as they know at their own risk, it doesn't bother the speedster. But today's broadcast would surprise everyone within the arcade.

"Hey, everyone another great day here at Game Central Station," Sonic said. "Since Litwak is still on vacation, I was thinking of sponsoring some entertainment to make the time fly by. Everyone here has heard of my game, Sonic Riders, right," he asked. "If you haven't, that's okay but if you have, good because me and all the characters of the game are throwing a Ex World Grand Prix Tournament for all of the racing games."

Everyone cheered to the success of the idea. "Since this is a racing game, if you are a character not part of a racing game, admission is free to watch from the stands and vendors will be everywhere so you don't get hungry. Also, to sign up, put your name and game on a sheet of paper and turn it in to my friends who you see are at the stand next to my game," Sonic instructed. "Another thing, make sure to grab a packet for yourself. The packet explains everything you need to know about Sonic Riders. The race, the Extreme Gear, the currency, tricks, tracks, etc. So make sure to grab one. And lastly make sure to come back tomorrow and come to our Sonic Riders development class. Where we will teach you as much as we can to learn about Extreme Gear, so make sure to bring a notebook and a pencil, because some of this stuff might help you win." as the screen went black.

Tails, Amy, and Knuckles were held up at their stands as characters came in individually to be given their card. As the Sugar Rush racer were filling out their cards, Vanellope smirked as she recalled her last conversation between Minty. She walked over to Minty to prove that she was right. "Ha! In your face, Vanellope shouted in delight as everyone just stared at the 2. "For what, Minty asked feeling surprised and irritated at the same time. "You said early that Sonic didn't have any racing games," Vanellope said feeling victorious. "Whatever," Minty said pouting in defeat.

"It doesn't matter who was right or wrong, all I know is we are going to "school" tomorrow. Ugh," Gloyd said with disgust. "At least it's school about racing," Jubilenna said with support. "Yeah, we may learn something new about racing," Crumbelina said agreement. "I'm outnumber by people who don't see that this is a bad idea," Gloyd said in frustration. "Come on, Gloyd how bad can it be and/or get.

When the racers were done, they walked up to up to the stand to submit their cards. When it was Rancis came up to the stand, he asked, "What kind of racing game is "Sonic Riders" anyway? Tails answered," It's futuristic." "You will hear "Try to keep up" a lot because the pace is so much faster than Sugar Rush," Knuckles added. "Beat your opponents to the Finish Line or you will get beaten yourself," Amy said. Rancis grabbed his packet and walked away stoked and yet scared, if that's what to be expected in the game then Rancis has no choice but to prepare for the competition along with his friends.

Later...

"I think this going to be one of the hardest tournaments we've ever participated in... ever," Snowanna said as everyone still had their eyes on the information packets.

"Relax, we're racers as long as nothing blindsides us we are okay, right," Candlehead said in cheerful tone. Everyone stared at her. "Yeah, right," Taffyta muttered.

"We are so dead," Adorbeezle said as the group headed back to Sugar Rush for a good night sleep completely unaware of the racing surprises coming their way tomorrow.

I wanted to crossover the racers with Sonic since they don't know much about them also. I wanted all of them to talk because I wanted different perspectives on each character and situation. Now, do you think the Sugar Rush racers have what it takes to be a "Sonic Rider." Find out in the next chapter.
