AN: This one was harder, as there was less from the movie to really work with. I hope you enjoy anyway though. I'll try one for Hero's Duty too if ya'll want.
Disclaimer: I do not own Wreck It Ralph, Fix It Felix Jr. or any scenarios or characters in the movie.
No one really remembered the original Fix It Felix. The programmers wanted to even forget it. The game wasn't the best; in fact it only lasted two years before it was being replaced by other games. The original Fix It Felix did nothing more than hit items with his golden hammer as they popped up on his tree stump work bench, he didn't move, the broken things he hit got fixed, the fixed things he hit got broken, but if he fixed enough he could open his own store and the game would end.
The gamers hated it.
The programmers tried to make it more entertaining, adding plot in the form of two young child characters, written in as sons of the main character. Their purpose was to cause chaos in the shop for Fix It. One's duty was to break things, the other's was to grab things his "brother" broke and put them back on the stump to be "fixed".
The gamers still hated the game, but slowly the two young add on characters became favorites for the players. It wasn't enough to save the game as it was.
The game company saw this and decided the original game needed to be revised. The programmers agreed, and the two groups came to a decision. A sequel game would be made, with the little brother being the title character, Fix It Felix Jr., would continue "fixing" with his father's hammer and the older brother, would continue to "break" things.
That was what the players liked, after all. The two characters, and several other items, were literally copied from the original game before being reprogrammed, the younger into a replica of his father, but this time with the ability to move, well as much as technology would allow, and the older into a wrecker, who used his father's workbench stump as his home. Both characters were aged so that they would be adults instead of children.
This new game made no mention of the fact these two characters were originally brothers.
Neither of the characters remembered much of their backstory beyond what was shown daily. The Nicelanders, who were new to this game, didn't know anything about it.
Somewhere in their codes the intention of that relationship remained. Neither of them really acknowledged it. They never really had a chance to, the routine of their game, the reality of the roles they were assigned were that both were supposed to be enemies. At the end of the day, Ralph went back to his stump, and Felix went to his apartment, and each lived separate lives.
That was until Ralph got tired of it.
Until he wasn't there anymore.
Until it was over and both realized what they had been missing with one word.
One word Felix had been using the whole adventure…"brother".
