Disclaimer: I don't own Wreck it Ralph or the oc's except for Alden Monde.
Nearly a week after the update, new Virus invasion, addition of a new avatar and the return of an old game character, the racers were now enjoying their time after the arcade had closed. The new avatar, named Alden Monde, turned out to be a hero and helped to reunite Vanellope and her sister Oreanna with their father King Candy.
The rulers of Sugar Rush were in the Castle watching the Arcade's Funniest Videos, where they were watching some characters such as the racers, Ryu and Ken and the Mario villain Bowser, being pranked by a photo booth.
"Man, this is so hilarious!", Vanellope laughed.
"Yeah! I mean, who would be dumb enough to go into a photo booth, hear the booth say that the drink is too close and puts it on the other side of GCS, only to come back and listen to the booth saying that it's too far away!", Oreanna laughed as well.
Even King Candy was chuckling at this. "I agree.", he said, trying to calm down a bit. ""Wow, I didn't know how much I missed."
The two sisters looked at him. "Yeah, it does feel good to have you back. Dad.", Vanellope sighed.
"Yes. It does feel nice to be with you two again.", King Candy said, smiling at his daughters. The sisters got up and were about to hug King Candy when Sour Bill interrupted.
"Your majesties.", he said. Oreanna and Vanellope groaned at this.
"What is it Bill?", Oreanna said, annoyed that the little candy ruined their father-daughter moment.
"I came to inform you that the Sergeant is in the throne room. She wanted to speak with you about the Virus.", Bill answered.
The three went quiet for a moment. They had nearly gotten over the fact that the Virus was gone, and their dad had now returned. But now? To here about it again, and from Sergeant Calhoun no less, it must have been serious. After another few moments, Vanellope spoke up.
"Okay Bill, tell her we'll be right there.", she said, trying to sound cheerful. The little green candy nodded before stepping out of the room and heading to the throne room.
"This could be serious.", King Candy said.
"Yeah. It could be.", Oreanna said, sounding concerned.
"Well, we won't know until we talk to ol' Sergeant Smiles now, would it.", Vanellope said in her cocky attitude. "Last one there's gonna smell Ralph's pits!", she yelled before running away.
The two royals shuddered a bit at the thought. "You're so gross, sis!", Oreanna shouted before using her Ghosting powers to run through the walls. King Candy just chuckled. "Hehehe. Kids.", he said, walking to the throne room.
In the throne room...
Calhoun, who was with Felix and Ralph, was waiting infront of the throne and fiddling with her scanner. After a bit, Felix spoke up.
"Uh, are you alright, Tammy?", Felix asked his wife concernedly. Calhoun looked down at her husband.
"Yeah, why do you ask?", she answered in a strict voice. Felix was startled a bit by this.
"W-well,", he started, "it's just that you have been fiddling with that scanner of yours since we entered the game.", Ralph interrupted, pointing at the device. Calhoun scowled at Ralph, then looked down at the scanner in her hand.
"Alright, fine.", she sighed. "I was making sure there were no other threats to this game still hanging around."
"But the Alden kid said everything will be fine.", Felix said.
Calhoun inhaled a deep breath, only to cough a bit from the sugary dust of the game. "Well, you can never be too careful.",
As she said that, the three adults heard some footsteps and a familiar voice coming towards them. "Guys!", the voice said. The adults smiled a bit as they saw Vanellope run around the corner and glitch at them. Behind her, they saw Oreanna passing through a wall, chasing Vanellope.
"I win!", Vanellope yelled happily.
"No fair sis!", Oreanna whined, a bit exhausted from the run. "You got a head start!"
Vanellope looked at her sister, hands on her hips. "And you used your Ghosting to go through the walls! And I only used my glitch once.", she pointed out.
Oreanna just stuck her tongue out at this. Vanellope did the same before turning to the adult characters. "Hey guys! What's up?", she asked, glitching onto Ralph's shoulder.
"Well princess, the Sarge here thinks that there may be some viruses still hanging around.", Ralph told the hyperactive racer.
Vanellope thought for a second. "Ok, first, it's president.", she said, pointing a Ralph, who just smiled. "Second, are you sure about that Sarge?"
Calhoun stared at the tiny leader for a bit before trying to answer. However, she was interrupted again. But this time, by a racer boy suddenly barging in through the front doors.
"Hey guys!", the boy said. They looked at the racer, only to see it was Alden Monde. "Hey Vanellope, Oreanna, Ralph, Felix, Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun...", he said while giving a salute, "Sour Bill, Oreo Guards, King Candy from down the hall who can still hear me but walking casually, not caring about Vanellope's bet that whoever is last has to smell Ralph's pits."
"Wait, what?", Ralph suddenly said, looking at Vanellope, surprised that she would even think of something like this. Vanellope the other hand just giggled.
"Oh, hey Vanellope...", Alden said, Vanellope glitching off Ralph's shoulder and appearing next to him, "I wanted ask you if you found my holo-screen yet?"
Vanellope tapped her chin a bit. "Holo-screen? Oh, yeah. We found it yesterday. It was under the sofa in the media room when the Castle was repaired.", Vanellope said. She put two fingers in her mouth and whistled for Sour Bill, forgetting he was right next to her.
"You whistled, miss?", he said in his low monotone, surprising Vanellope and causing her to jump up and glitch. "Gah! Bill!", she yelled. Bill didn't respond. Vanellope looked slightly annoyed at the candy man but instructed him anyway. "Hmph. Anyway Bill, can you get the the blue holo-screen we found yesterday?"
Sour Bill just nodded and headed off to the media room. After he left, Alden spoke up. "So Sarge...", he said, facing the Sergeant, "what were you saying a while ago?"
The soldier looked at the choco-almond racer. "I was talking about that Virus.", she said sternly. " When we entered Sugar Rush, my scanner went off, indicating a virus... Or what's left of it."
The others grew concerned. "Wait, so there's still a virus here?", Oreanna asked.
Calhoun sighed. " I'm not sure."
Sour Bill came back with the holo-screen. "Here you are madam president.", he said, handing it over to Vanellope.
"Thanks Bill.", Vanellope said, taking the screen before letting Bill go about his business. "Here Alden.", she said, handing it to Alden, who then took the screen and folded it up before putting it in his hat.
King Candy then entered the room. "Hello everyone.", he greeted, "oh and you too Mr. Monde." Alden smiled at the King.
"Please King Candy, just call me Alden.", he said, bowing.
"Tsk,tsk... I thought we had an agreement to call me KC, after all, you did save us.", King Candy said, gesturing to his daughters.
"Ok, KC.", Alden smiled. The moment was cut short, however, when Calhoun's scanner suddenly went off.
"What the cybug?", Calhoun said, waving the device around to scan the room. She suddenly stopped when the scanner gave a steady beeping as she pointed it at King Candy. "What is this?", she said before the beeping suddenly stopped.
"What just happened Ms. Calhoun?", King Candy asked, wondering why the scanner was pointed at him.
"Oh, uh...", Calhoun stuttered. She wondered to herself, should she tell the two racers what this alert was about, or seeing that the alert went away, keep it safe and not tell them... Yet. She decided to go with the latter. "... It's nothing. Must be a glitch."
"Hey!", Vanellope yelled, sounding offended.
Calhoun looked at the little racer. "Relax Schweetz. I didn't mean it like that.", she said, a small smile on her face. Vanellope caught this and smiled too.
"Yeah, don't worry about it Sarge. I'm just messin' with ya.", she said happily. "I'm over it."
Just after Vanellope finished, Alden's hat suddenly started ringing with the Thriller song. "I got it.", he said, clicking the almond pin. The holo-screen popped up again and I appeared.
"Hey guys."
"Hey Paolo.", the racers greeted.
"Hey, so I just called to tell you about the second part of the update."
The adults looked confused at this. "The second part?", Calhoun asked.
I looked at Calhoun. "Oh hello Sarge.", I said, smiling. " Yeah. You see, when I came by the first time, it wasn't just to add Alden.", I started explaning. " You see, a group of programmers like me had this idea. If we keep doing updates on old machines like this..."
"Hey!", the three leaders of Sugar Rush objected, obviously offended, for real this time with Vanellope.
"Oops, sorry.", I said, trying to apologize, to which they nodded. "Anyway, if we kept doing it on... Those... Machines, then the existing hardware may malfunction. So now, if we make a type of update like this, it wouldn't compromise the existing game." I finished. " And by the way, only a few of us actually know that you all are 'ALIVE' in your games.", I added.
Everyone nodded, finally understanding the situation. "Okay, so when is this second update gonna happen?", Ralph asked.
"I gonna come over tomorrow. I'm gonna ask Mr. Litwak to keep the console on but no one can play it."
All the characters nodded. It would be a bad idea to have the update happen as the game was being played.
"Okay, thanks for that.", King Candy said. "And by the way, thank you for repairing my code. If it weren't for you and Alden here.", he gestured to the white boy...
"Racist much?", Barry said offscreen.
"what are you doing?"
"I miss being part of the story.", Barry answered.
"later. Unless you want me to shock you again."
Barry started running to Adorabeezle's house.
"hehe"
... "I wouldn't have had my family back.", he said, hugging the two sisters.
"Dad!", they giggled.
"You're welcome. Now, I have to get ready for tomorrow. Are there any other questions?"
Calhoun looked at her scanner, then at the King again. She got closer to the screen. "Yeah, I do.", she said. She held up her scanner so I can see the display and then pointed it at King Candy. The scanner beeped a few times before the sound stopped. "Do you see this? He is still a virus!", she yelled, pointing at the monarch. Everyone had a stunned look on their faces.
"B-But how? I thought he was cured!", Vanellope blurted out, on the verge of tears. Oreanna got behind her at patted her sister's back while also about to cry.
"What? I'm still a-", King Candy started saying before Calhoun pointed her pistol at him.
"Tammy! No!", Felix yelled from behind Ralph.
"Are you thick, Felix?", she asked, looking at her husband.
"No. But come on hun. These two just got their father back, and now you're just gonna blast him?", Felix answered.
Calhoun thought for a moment. She was about to squeeze the trigger, but looked at the two horrified racers beside the King. She saw how scared they were, not for themselves, but for their father. It hadn't even been a week, and now they will never see him again? She then looked at her pistol. She slowly released her grip on it and hung her head low before putting it back in the holster.
"Sorry about that.", she said to the girls. The two approached her before putting their tiny hands on hers. She held their hands before turning back to me, a bit ashamed to even look at anyone else. She cleared her throat before talking again. "So what's this about?"
"Please wait a moment.", I said. "Hey Alden."
"Yes Kuya?"
"Can you please set the hat to scan?" Alden did as he was told. After clicking the pin four times, the hat then emitted a yellow laser that Alden pointed at King Candy to scan him.
"Okay, got it. Hmm. Das veird."
"Huh?", everyone said.
" Sorry, I talk like that sometimes. Anyway, it seems that although the update fully repaired King Candy's code, there was a tiny bit of the Virus remaining. Thank goodness it's so minute that it cannot control anything...yet."
"What do you mean, yet?", Ralph asked.
"Well, the Viral code was only able to survive because it attached itself to King Candy's code, but since his code was fully restored, it acted like an immunity or 'firewall' so it can't corrupt him anymore. But if someone willingly allowed it to attach to them, they will become the next virus."
The others now had terrified expressions. "Can you get it out of him?", Vanellope asked worriedly.
"Yes. But it would require him to regenerate." Vanellope and Oreanna looked at each other before nodding. "Very well. Alden, can you please use Runner Mode?"
Alden nodded. "Good thing Moppet girl unlocked it two days ago.", he said. He took his sunglasses out from his hat and put them on. He then put his fists together and cracked his knuckles before saying the command word.
"Shamone!"
His body glowed with the white and blue light again. As his jacket and swordcane formed on his back, the title of the transformation song was heard again.
Another Part of Me! Heee heeee
The light then dissipated and showed Alden in his Runner Mode.
"Okay Alden, now take out the sword and balisong." Alden did as he was told. He had the sword in his left hand and the knife in his right. "Okay now, swipe the knife across the sword then hit King Candy on the head."
"What?", everyone yelled.
"Everyone,please calm down. It won't kill him. It will extract the Virus into the blade. Then we have to more or less knock him out. It'll just be a few seconds, then you can wake him up and he will be Virus free!", I explained hurriedly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, please do it", King Candy said. Alden nodded. He swiped the knife across the sword, causing it to glow white. He then hit King Candy on the head with the side of the sword, not the blade. As the sword made contact, the blade started going from white to red. As the sword's light started to go down, King Candy collapsed and lay on the floor, unconscious. After the glow disappeared, and upon closer inspection, the blade now had a red object moving inside it.
"Is that the Virus?", Vanellope asked, getting closer to the sword and was about to touch it when suddenly...
"Don't!", Calhoun and I yelled. Vanellope pulled her hand away quickly. "If you touch it, it will corrupt you.", Calhoun said.
"She's right. Now Alden, you can still use Runner Mode but since the sword has a virus in it, I wouldn't recommend you to put it in your inventory. You will have to keep it with you at all times until the update tomorrow. I will extract it then."
As I finished, King Candy started to wake up. "Ow, my head!"
Vanellope and Oreanna heard this and ran to their dad. "Daddy!", they yelled as they tackled him to the ground. The other characters chuckled at this.
"What happened? Did you get the Virus out?", King Candy asked as he got up and started walking to the screen.
"Yes sir. You can rest easy now." Alden then showed him the sword with the Virus inside before sheathing it.
"Thank you my boy.", King Candy said, thanking me and Alden.
"Okay, if that will be all, I have to get going now. And Alden. Please keep that safe until the update, okay?"
Alden nodded before placing the sword on his back. "I will Kuya "
I smiled. "Okay, bye everyone!"
"Bye Paolo.", they all said before I shut off the screen.
"Okay, now that that's done, we should all get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow.", Oreanna said. Everyone agreed and said their goodbyes before the three adults left for their games and leaving the Royal Family in the Castle.
"Goodnight dad.", Oreanna and Vanellope said, giving their dad a hug.
King Candy chuckled a bit. "Goodnight my dears.", he said, before they all went upstairs and went to their own rooms.
"And they forgot about me.", Sour Bill said, still left downstairs.
"Goodnight Bill.", the three royals bellowed from their rooms. This caused Bill to smile before he walked back to his room.
As he made his way to his room, he heard a voice behind him say "Goodnight Bill."
Sour Bill heard this male voice and let out an amused sigh "Goodnight Jack.", he said. Jack smiled before running off to his room.
