Author's Note

I don't own Wreck-it Ralph

This idea has been bouncing around in my head for the last week or so, so let's get on with it. Two OC's, Ralph, Felix, the Nicelanders, Sargent Calhoun, Vanillope von Schweets, and all the rest.

Please tell me what ya' think. Rated 'T' for descriptions of blood and injuries. This chapter is also somewhat like a summery, or at least a back-story. Of sorts. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: When Loved ones Fall, we Fall Harder

Sky Journals, Entry 1, Moon

I should probably start with introductions.

My name is Crescent. Crescent Moon Sky. I'm 14. I have chin-length dark brown hair that has silver highlights streaked here and there at random. My eyes are a glowing silver. My clothes are rather average. Tawny buckskin leggings and shirt, moose skin moccasins and a furry cloak made out of a silver wolf's pelt, that goes from around my shoulders to just barely above my ankles.

My little brother is Gold. Golden Sun Sky. He's 8 years old, with short light brown hair with streaks of gold that seem placed at random. He wears the same outfit as me, his cloak made from a golden foxes pelt, and bright, golden eyes.

We have searched for an escape ever since we got into this DS game. We were normal kids, fiddling around with our cousins game, when we suddenly found ourselves inside. We were magic, and in a sense, we still are. We have what Gold calls Were-cat forms.

I can transform into a tawny mountain lioness, able to move on two legs or four, my front paws able to grip and grab like hands. I have wings when I become

the Mountain Lioness, that blends in with my fur so well that you would never know I had them until I took off into the sky. My eyes remain silver, but with a cat's pupil.

I am not as large as the other mountain lions in the game, making me a teenager by their standards and the humans.

Gold becomes a tiger cub, his bright orange fur striped with black, contrasting with his pale white underbelly. He has full use of his paws as hands, but instead of wings, his dewclaws, the thumb-like part of a cats paw, is filled with a venom, that has special properties, that change slightly when his emotions change. His eyes are still gold, with a cats pupil.

My natural form is my Lioness form, and Golds is his human form. When we first came, that drove a small wedge between us. The humans job are to man the settlements and provide food, shelter, and whatever else the first-person-player needs during game-time. The animals, magic or not, live in the forest, other than house-cats and dogs.

The other magic creatures, like wizards, witches, vampires, werewolves, whatever normally steer clear of the settlements. It's like the human characters don't even know that their in a game, and that the absence of one character could be the downfall of our entire game.

For awhile, Gold and I lived peacefully with the others, sneaking away to meet eachother every now and then. But then, we were caught. They discovered our human and feline forms are just two people, rather two cats and two humans. And they have hunted and hurt us ever since then.

Sky Journals, Entry 2, Sun

You know a little bit about us now. But do you really? You know what we look like, our powers, how we ended up where we are now. But you don't know the heartbreak, the pain, the lost hope that haunts my memory still. Like when we were first caught. They didn't realize that she was my sister. I was in my human form, but she was in her lioness one. They eventually found out, and they. . .

They whipped her. Right in front of me. They tied her to a tree, and used a whip that had metal bits on it. They struck her, 50 times. They ignored her, ignored me, ignored our cries, our explanations. They all rejected us. We're not really part of the game, we were background characters. And they're right. The game was going fine without us, but the characters welcomed us all the same.

But when they learned our secret, they blamed Moon. They blamed her, and drove us apart, and the entire game barely tolerates to downright hating us ever since. We had found the plugin for our game system, but it was never plugged in when we went there. We know that we have to escape.

Moon doesn't trust anyone but me now, and I can understand why. Having a whole game turn their backs on you? I completely understand her misgivings.

But I also know that something might happen one day, something we'll need help with. And I'll probably be the one looking for that help. I'll always protect my sister.

No matter what.

A few months before. . .

Crescent (POV)

I struggled against my bindings, trying to get free. I could see Gold in the crowd, and could only think that this wasn't supposed to happen. This was never supposed to happen! Only a few people knew about our meetings, but when the village leader found out? It was the worst thing to happen to us. My punishment was unknown.

Until now.

"My fellow citizens, hunters, and friends. We are here to punish this monstrosity, for stealing away one of the village children, and to remind it to obey it's higher-ups!" the leader shouted. The crowd shouted back. Turning to me with anger and remorselessness in his eyes, he picked something up out of a box. A whip. Six feet long, with three ends with metal bits on it.

I could see dried blood on it. "This will teach you, you monster!" he hissed at me. "You will never be accepted. EVER." he growled, fiercer than a grizzly bear. And so began the torture. I was in my human form, but that didn't matter. To them, I was nothing more than a witch. Witch's cause problems whether in or out of game-time.

The first few hits I held my tongue. But by the time we reached 10 I was sobbing. By twenty, screaming. Around thirty, I fell unconscious. They carted me out and dumped me in the forest. I treated my wounds to the best of my ability, before making my way to a tree. I changed to my lioness form and climbed high up into the branches, and beginning to wonder what in the world I could do.

I looked up into the darkening sky. The moon and stars appeared, and a falling star streaked across the sky from behind the moon.

"I wish that my brother and I will be able to escape this place within the next year." I whisper, watching the falling star fade away. A rustling sound, a tree over. Another rustle of leaves and branches, and a large feline appears in the branches. It's Mist, a mountain lioness witch-doctor. Which isn't as weird as it sounds.

"Are you okay, Moon? she whispers. I give her a look.

"What do you think?" I grind out between clenched teeth. "Whipped, rejected by my entire game, and separated from my little brother. How's that for okay." I hiss a little as I shift in my spot, that pain returning. She sighs and looks down, before letting out a small growl, then a hiss followed by a purr. A scrambling sound on the ground get's closer, until Sun is on a branch next to me, in tiger form, a pack on his back.

Holding the pack out for Mist to rummage through, he looks at me. "Moon, this is the last kindness we're probably going to receive from the outside. Mist told me how thier all putting bans on helping us. . .you." he hung his head, then looked up again. Mist began carefully cleaning my wounds, which hurt almost as much as receiving them.

"So why are you doing this, Mist?" I ask. She looks at me, pity, remorse, and anger clouding the normally clear blue depths of her eyes. Starting to apply some sort of medicine, she replies,

"The ban takes affect tommorow, which means I can help you tonight. If I could, I would just stay with you, but. . . " she trails off, rummaging around in the bag again.

"It would be against the programming, I know. But it's okay. You'll always be our friend, even if we ever leave." I reply, the herbs already numbing the pain. She gives me a pained look. Glancing around and scenting the air, she starts to apply some bandages, wrapping them around my torso.

"Bad things are happening with. . . ." she glances around, lowering voice to just above a whisper, "The code. I hear that some people blame your appearance in the game to the code beginning to unravel now. If that does happen, I'll go with you guys, but for now. . .it's mostly rumors. No one know's for sure what's gonna happen. . . . ." she trails off again, glancing around nervously.

"So, your saying that the our game might be thrown out?" confirms Sun. Mist nods. She glanced around again, before tying the bag to a branch.

"There's a little more medicine, some food and water. This is all I can give you now. I have to leave soon." explains Mist. Sun leans forward and rubs against her, purring sadly. Leaning forward, she taps noses with me, then Sun, for what could be the last time. After she left, Sun and I gazed up at the night sky.

"Before I have to leave, can we do our rhyme?" he asks. I nod, gathering my thoughts.

"~I care for you more than the Earth below and Sky above~," I start.

"~Like cookies and hot cocoa, sweet just because~," he returns.

"~I shall always be there for you~," I whisper.

"~Through thick or thin, it's easy to~, he whispers back.

"~See why I love you~." we whisper together. We tap noses, before he scrambles to the ground, and takes off into the night. Leaving me alone with my thoughts. I look up into the night sky again, focusing on the moon. It holds significance for me, just as the sun holds significance for brother. I settle myself on the branch, making sure that I won't easily fall.

I then allow myself to fall asleep. My dreams tonight are a great whirl of confusion.

I see Sun and I, casting the spell and getting sucked into the game again. Finding our way into the forest, discovering our new feline forms, being accepted into the communities best suited for us. Getting caught, the whipping all over again, what happened between Mist, Sun, and I. And then, something else. Seeing a way out, more injuries, more pain, blood, panic, and then. . .darkness.

Images of a place that seems made out of things like cakes, cookies, candy, and other 'junk' food. I look around. I was on some sort of bridge, that looked like a big rainbow. Down below, shouts and cheering were coming from what looked like a racing event. I wander down and slip between two of tall the seating spots. There were many racers, but surprisingly, they were all about Sun's size.

And then, I saw it. It was Sun. He was lined up with the other racers, but he wore a different outfit. He had a pale gold shirt and pants, and he wore a silver cape, that had a gold sun stylized on the back. I watched as they got in their cars. His looked like it was made from a cake, gold with silver highlights. A raven-haired girl walked up to him.

She had candy in her hair, a turquoise hoodie with matching pants, and a Reese's Cup wrapper for a skirt. I could just hear what she said.

"Good luck, Sun. Enjoy your first race."

"Thanks, Vanillope. I'll do my best." he returned warmly. She hopped into her own car, which seemed kinda random compared to the others in style. And they were off. I cheered with the crowd.

I blinked awake, confused for a moment why I was in a tree. As soon as I tried to move, pain rippled through my back, and I had to choke back a sob. I felt another pang of longing, wanting my friends and little brother back. I notice the bag Mist had left, and rummage through it, finding a cooked fish wrapped in leaves. As I began to eat, I thought over my dream.

Was it just that, a dream? Or was it something more? There wasn't any real way to tell for now, except to survive and keep looking for a way out.

Whether it's because we weren't part of the original game, or because we were originally human, we don't respawn like the others. Once I fell through a pit into a bunch of crocs, in an area that meant instant death. I respawned nearby, scaring the living daylights out of Sun. Hit with a knife? It scars over. I'd be sure to have many scars from the whipping, no doubt.

I sigh and gaze back at the moon, glancing at the rosy tone the sky is taking on the other side of the sky. The moon had nearly set, and the sun is about to rise.

Dawn. That magical time when the moon had just set but the sun had not yet risen. A silvery glow on one side, a golden one on the other, and stars scattered across the final remainder of dark blue sky.

"~Moonlight seeping away,

~Sunlight, not yet here.

~They are opposites, yet share the same sky,

~Ruling by,

~The different times of day or night.

~In front of blue both dark and light,

~With little stars and clouds they are quite the sight.

~No matter what,

~No matter where,

~I'll always find you, I'll always care.

~There is nothing you, can do.

~That will ever keep me,

~From, loving, you.~" I finish the sad, hopeful little melody, just as the sun rises. Beginning a new day. And a new, hard path for me to follow.

Alone.

Okay, chapter 1 is done. Okay, it's not in any of the games in Litwak's arcade yet, it's a DS game. Next chapter will be when all that happens. This is sortof like an intro.

Intro to the characters, their background, and what they've gone through together. Please review and leave suggestions, what you thought, whatever.
