Chapter 02: The Assasins.
"Think we lost them, here…we will hide here." Vanellope told Ralph as she drove towards a abandoned building.
Still, Ralph was in shock, and didn't spoke much.
Looking up at the site as they parked. Ralph noticed this was Fontaine Futuristics, he recalled that not long ago, the founder disappeared.
Walking down the big Factory, Ralph saw a lot of graffiti. 'Rapture is real! There is something at the sea. Who is Atlas?' After a bit, Ralph sighed and simply punched the wall, breaking it.
"Whoa!" Vanellope said. "Calm down man."
"Calm down!? My life is ruined!" Ralph finally snapped.
"Sorry! Those guys thought you were helping me, it wasn't my fault." Vanellope said softly, rubbing her arm nervously as she took a seat on a old machine.
"Why are they even trying to arrest you anyway?! What did you do?!" Ralph asked, taking a seat aswell. "When I saw your wanted poster I thought you were more…intimidating. But now that I look at you…you're only a girl."
"Only a girl?!" Vanellope raised her voice. "I can put you down man!"
Laughing softly, Ralph responded. "Alright, alright. My bad, but I'm serious, why are they looking for you?"
"Beats me." Vanellope sighed as she looked away. "King Candy always hated me."
"You do realize he wants to kill you for no reason?"
"Well, he's blaming me for being a part of Pixels group."
"Are you?"
"No…I haven't seen Pixels. I mean…I'm curious too, why so suddenly he's hunting me down?" Vanellope sighed.
"Why don't you leave Arcade then?"
"Heh…" Vanellope smirked. "I can't get out of Arcade."
"Why not? Simply leave."
"It's not that simple, it's more complicated than you think. Arcade…is my prison."
"C'mon!" Ralph raised an eyebrow. "Do you ever hear yourself?"
"Hehe. So why do people even think you're helping me? That police guy recognized you."
"About that…" Ralph growled. "Have a record…to be honest, I just recently got out of prison. They thought I was…The Wrecker."
"Whoa." Vanellope suspiciously asked. "Are you The Wrecker?"
"What?! Of course not! I was in jail when The Wrecker attacked again!"
"Hmm. Alright." Vanellope smiled. "You don't look like the type of guy that would wreck people the way that psychopath does."
Out of a sudden, Vanellope and Ralph turned around as they heard a noise around the Factory.
"Calm down Ralph, maybe it's the guys who I called." Vanellope said as she pulled a holographic blues creen and asked the program that she called 'Sour Bill' about it. "They got the message right?"
"Identify yourself!" A man in a marine black armor asked, his helmet had a skull drawing on it.
Standing up, Ralph step slowly towards Vanellope, who looked at the guy.
Gulping, Vanellope then asked. "Raynor?"
Suddenly, the guy took off his helmet when Vanellope said his name.
Showing his face towards them with a smile as he placed the gun down.
"Raynor!" Vanellope smiled and ran towards him, hugging the guy, who laughed softly.
"Whoa! Look at you! You're so big now, short girl!"
"You know him?" Ralph asked as he saw the scene.
"Oh sorry! Look, Ralph, this is a friend of mine. His name is James Raynor."
"Just call me Jim." Raynor said as he raised his hand to shake Ralph's, who sighed and shooked hands with Raynor gently.
"You're part of the resistance I assume?" Ralph asked, since he was wearing a Korhal armor.
"That's right, thanks for helping her." Raynor said.
"Actually…I helped him out. They thought he went Turbo." Vanellope said.
"Oh, sorry to hear man."
"It's alright, I'm used to it."
"So…" Vanellope said towards Raynor. "Is it true what happened on Mar Sara?"
"Of course not." Raynor showed a upset face. "That King Candy left me and my team to die. If it wasn't because of Korhal's group, I would be dead."
"Do you know why he's looking for me?" Vanelloped asked.
"Sorry. I don't know. When we heard outside about the bounty on your head, we had to break in Arcade and help you out." Raynor said with a smile.
"Thanks." Vanellope smiled.
"So…if you don't know, and I don't know. The question is still there. King Candy is losing his mind."
"Seems to be that way. I mean…do you think this might have something to do with…Candlehead? Y'know, the girl I was friends with, long ago?"
"Who knows." Raynor said and then used the radio on his hand. "Sir, you can come in now. The perimeter is secured…I want you to meet her."
"Huh?" Vanelloped asked.
Walking forward, a man showed himself, he looked like a high ranked official of Korhal.
"Vanellope…" Raynor said. "Want you to meet the leader of the resistance. Arcturus Mengsk."
"It's a honor, to finally meet you." Mengsk smiled and holded up his hand towards Vanellope.
Nervous, Vanellope shooked Mengsk's hand and smiled.
"We've heard what happened a while back. We'll make sure to keep you safe. The war will end here in Arcade, are you willing to help us out?" Mengsk asked.
"Of course, if Raynor trusts you, I'll help you." Vanellope said.
"Soon, the people will finally see King Candy the way he is. A rotten dictator that it's spending a lot of money to get rid of a girl who has done nothing." Mengsk said.
"Do you know anything about it?"
"He bombed Korhal. There is no other explanation other than his insanity."
"Well." Vanellope then nervously said. "Since you guys lead the resistance out there. Why don't we try to find the one leading the resistance in Arcade? Y'know, Pixels?"
"No." Mengsk said. "Pixels isn't a part of our cause, he doesn't shares our vision."
"But why? He's fighting King Candy too."
Then Raynor interrupted. "Pixels is a terrorist, Vanellope."
"But…that can't be true." Vanellope commented.
"We can't find an ally in a terrorist, Vanellope." Mengsk said. "If you ever see Pixels, please, do not listen to him. Arrest him, for us."
"Why do you guys think that, when Pixels have helped this city?" Vanellope asked.
"Trust us. Please Vanellope, if you ever see Pixels, arrest him. Would you kindly?"
Sighing softly, Vanellope then responded. "Alright then, so what do we do now?"
"We make camp here in Fontaine Futuristics." Mengsk said. "We've heard of a man called Thomas Light, we need to find him. Raynor, how many men do we do have in Arcade?"
"Not enough, sir. I've called Fenix for back, just in case."
Then Vanellope pulled out her holographic screens and told Sour Bill. "Search for Thomas Light."
"On it." Bill said rather softly.
Looking at them, Ralph was even more confused. "What did I got myself into…?" Ralph whispered softly.
Meanwhile, on King Candy's castle, a large barrier was pulled up around it.
Trying to keep people and rebels away.
Then Candlehead walked down the hallway, noticing there was a meeting.
There outside of the main room was someone she knew, Billy Kane.
"What's going on?" Candlehead asked Kane.
"Well…if you want to know. That Candy guy hired a few people to take care of your…friend." Kane said.
"Heard about it…is he serious?"
"Look yourself." Kane said, as he let Candlehead in, a few of the other boys and girls that lived in the castle along Candlehead were there, watching the meeting.
There were quite a few intimidating people in there.
"The Comissioner hired this guys." Kane told Candlehead.
Since Kane worked for Geese Howard, the Comissioner, he was there making sure they had some privacy.
Then King Candy asked Geese.
"You sure this will be enough to kill the Glitch?"
"Don't worry about it." Geese chuckled. "Some of them are the best in the business, others just have good reasons to hunt her down."
Thinking for a bit, Candy nodded. "Tell me about them."
Chuckling softly, Geese begun explaining.
[Eggman: Sonic the Hedgehog.]
"Doctor Ivo Robotnik, aka Eggman." Geese Howard introduced the first guy, a large man with a large mustache, shaped like an egg.
"Well known criminal, he's willing to help if King Candy would be kind enough to give him the Chaos Emerald in the museum."
[Poison: Final Fight.]
"Poison, the current leader of the criminal group known as Mad Gear. They are armed with the latest in technology, of course…they're all ilegal weapons."
Pointing at the second assasin, King Candy looked at the barely clothed woman that left little to the imagination.
There were rumors however, that she used to be a man.
[Sander Cohen: Bioshock.]
"Sander Cohen, the well known artist, didn't took him seriously when he approached my office. But he left a few of my men death…posed. He doesn't want money or anything. Well, he simply says he's doing it for artistical porpouses."
Looking at the third assasin, Candy was unsure, he dressed elegantly, but he looked quite insane.
Kinda looked like a hobo, even.
[Eliza: Skullgirls.]
"Eliza, she's a hired assasin that Works for the Medici."
The next assasin was a woman that dressed in a egyptian dress, a few of her bones were exposed.
[Metallica: The Witch and the Hundred Knights.]
"The Witch Metallica, she wants an army."
Dressed in witch clothes, the blonde girl smiled at King Candy who listened to Geese explaining her demands.
[Venom: Guilty Gear.]
"This is Venom, the current head of the Assasins Guild, of all the people here, Venom is the most experienced."
The man had his face covered with his long White hair, that had a blue eye painted in it.
[Oswald, The Shadow Knight: Odin Sphere.]
"This is Oswald, the most powerful knight of the Ringford Kingdom."
The man had White hair, with crimson eyes and a black armor.
"Finally, Hackslash. Another known assasin that Works independently from the Assasins Guild."
The woman was dressed more or less like a ninja, black and blue were her colors, a helmet covered her head, which had two glowing blue eyes.
"Excellent." King Candy said as he then raised his voice.
"Listen! You have one night to kill the Glitch. If you are here, it's because you're confident of your skills as assasins. Are you up to the challenge?! Whoever wins, will be famous, and rich!"
Watching from afar, Candlehead was in shock.
Whispering, Candlehead told to herself. "I've to find Vanellope."
