I originally planned to do this special fic right after I finish up "Return of the Five Dastardly Bombers!" as far as continuity in my Diamond City Chronicles series goes, but since I already did it on DeviantART back in March 2013, I kinda felt like putting some more activity here by doing said fic.

DISCLAIMER: WarioWare Inc. is owned by Nintendo; Bomberman is a property of Hudson Soft (even though Konami already took it over back in March 2012); and Wreck-It Ralph belongs to Disney. All arcade games featured in this fanfic are properties of their respective owners - yes, even the arcade versions of the first two Contra games. The only characters I own thus far are as follows: Arctic Bomber (Mistress of the Cold), Blaze Bomber (Brother in Flame), Billy and Sid (Wario's fraternity brothers), Phoebe (9-Volt's best friend from another world), and finally, Purple Basilisk and his five Chaotic Bombers.

WARIO'S P.O.V.

WA, HA HA HA! WAAAAARIO! What, were you expecting a fancy entrance from dear ol' me? Meh, I never was any good at oh-so dramatic entrances anyhoo. But get this: in addition to some of the newer 3DS games becoming a big hit since Kid Icarus: Uprising (i.e. New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Paper Mario: Sticker Star), along with Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 on the DS and even the official release of Nintendo's Wii U console, Wreck-It Ralph is all the rage here in Diamond City! But I'm not just talking about the film itself, oh no...

Well, the 3DS had been out for a few months since my pals and I released WarioWare: D.I.Y. to the masses back in November 20XX, and - boy, oh boy - the Wii U just came out yesterday. But the new WarioWare game we're working on will prove to be a success - I guarantee!

But anyways, back to what I was gonna say next. I'm talking about the fact that three of the coolest arcade games in the United States have come into town! Here's the short version: Penny Crygor and Blaze Bomber bought the replicas of Fix-It Felix Jr., Sugar Rush (don't ask why), and Hero's Duty on eBay. Well, I know technically that it ain't possible in real life, but that's not the point. By "replicas", I mean the ones that not only represent the actual copies seen at Litwak's Arcade, but also in which Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun all know each other.

Yeah yeah, I know. It's not possible they'd know each other just because it occurred at Litwak's Arcade, since there are typically tons of copies of the actual games all over the world. But boy, did we get lucky. Oh, and Blaze Bomber actually has an arcade center of his own in Diamond City. He usually runs the place with Penny's help whenever they're not busy doing inventions or microgames. In fact, he's been doing this ever since we beat the crap outta Red Falcon and his intergalactic henchmen during World War III. I know, that war was a freakin' pain in the neck, and it's a long story to boot, but I'd rather not talk about it. I'm more interested in checking out the arcade as if I were in Wreck-It Ralph, anyhoo!

Word on the street is that these arcade game characters happen to have actual lives outside of gaming hours (as in, their jobs as protagonists, NPCs, bosses, and the like), but I digress. Maybe a little game session in Sugar Rush won't kill a big guy like me after all...

Come to think of it, these three certain arcade games, along with any other ones that Blaze Bomber's arcade center has, could help me - and WarioWare Inc. - make a fortune, especially those candy-themed karts! But don't tell any of those characters from said games what I just said; I don't want 'em thinking I'm cuckoo for power. I'm only saying it because I was told that "King Candy" was such a madman inside. Ahh, don't worry, I'm not gonna go super-dictator like him just because Waluigi and I often lose to Mario and Luigi at kart-racing, golf, tennis, or even the Mario Parties! No need to be so paranoid.

END P.O.V.

With that said, Wario's ready to check out the majority of Blaze Bomber's arcade center! See you next time!
