I stand up with Vanellope in my arms "this is the Internet?" I ask the paper clip he nods his head well I guess he tilts it since hes all one body "yes where else would you be?" he asks "I don't know home maybe for starters" I say "well you could go home" he says "really how?" I ask "well that depends" he tells me "on what?" I ask "on where you live of course!" he says "so your saying we can go to sugar rush?" Vanellope asks "you can go any where as long as some one has put it on the internet!" the paper clip tells us I look down at Vanellope and put her on my back again "ok so where can we find path of a warrior?" I ask "well what do you want an emulator or the mmo?" I shake my head "I have no idea what you just said" I tell him "well an emulator is..." I cut him off "ok you know just bring me to the mmo please" "alrighty then follow me!" he says turning around.
We exit a door and enter what looks like a gigantic city I look around and see thousands of people walking around "holy sweet mother of monkey milk" I hear Vanellope whisper "what is this place?" I ask "well this my friend is the world wide web" he says entering the crowd I quickly follow him not wanting to lose him but it's difficult as we continue through the crowd I manage to catch up to him as he easily makes his way through the crowded streets "so what do you do here?" I ask "I help people on computers but lately less and less people have been needing my help so instead I focused on helping characters around the Internet ensuring they don't get lost or deleted" I smile "that's a good thing to do" I tell him.
"why thank you friend!" he says I look around to all the doors and openings around the city characters enter these and exit "so where do all of these go?" I ask the paper clip "every door goes to a different website" he tells me "so what are all these websites used for?" I ask "well a lot of websites are used for different things for example" he says gesturing towards a door "this website is used for stories" he tells me "what kind of stories?" "well for writing stories about video game characters much like your self's the people write the stories about anything they choose" I laugh and keep walking "who would want to write stories about us?" I ask as I catch up to him "oh you would be surprised" he says.
Were walking for a while until Vanellope speaks up "so where is this place your taking us?" she asks "oh there are different ways to locate the game but instead of looking for the door it's self we are going to use this" he says stopping in front of a large double door I read the name above it "Google" it says alright let's go the paper clip says stepping in so I follow were in a large white room with a small rectangle in the middle he walks up and taps it and a bunch of letters and numbers pop up in front of him I watch as he types in "path of the ninja mmo" he taps enter and a gigantic list pops up he floats up and taps the choice at the top a door appears out of thin air and the list disappears "alright away you go" he says pushing me and Vanellope towards the door he opens the door and me and Vanellope stand outside of it I take her off my back and take a deep breath and pull us in.
As I step in the door Vanellope disappears I look around and I'm in a pitch black room but I can see my self clearly "vanellope are you ok!" I yell with no response suddenly a line of coding appears and flies around in a circle around me I look as it slowly makes it's way around my body it reaches my feet and disappears a loud voice comes up "Class ninja, strength 8/10, intelligence 7/10, agility 10/10, before I get to say anything a flash of light blinds me I close my eyes and end up on my hands and knees I open my eyes and see I'm on the ground I look up and see I'm in a forest I stand up and look around this place it looks familiar I shake my head "no way it can't be" I say walking forward "Josh!" I hear Vanellope yell I look around but can't see her.
She yells again "Josh are you here!" "yeah I'm over here" I yell back suddenly she comes flying out of the bushes and rams into me and we fall to the ground I look over at her and she's laying there looking at me right away I notice shes not wearing her regular clothes her hood and skirt have been replaced by a black outfit similar to the one I had in my game except she has a robe on around it "I'm sorry I tripped on this stupid thing" she says sitting up and pulling at the robe "no problem" I say standing up she looks up at me at stretches out her hand I grab it and help her up.
"why don't you have a robe?" she asks I shrug and look down at my outfit it's the exact one I had before my game got unplugged except my normal sword got replaced by a katana I pull it out and look at it "do you have one?" I ask her she shakes her head "no got this stick" she says pulling a Bo staff off her back I smile "it's called a Bo staff" I tell her she smiles and hits me with it I fall down and hit the ground I look up and see a green bar appear out of thin air I look closer and a number above the box goes from 1000 to 999 I stand up and the box disappears I shake my head. "did you see that?" I ask her "well it would be hard not to" she says walking up to where the bar was she looks at me "what was that?" she asks me "well by the looks of it it's probably a health bar" I tell her "what is it used for?" "well almost all of the enemies in my game had one once it fills up with red they're dead" I tell her "so red means your dead?" she says I nod my head "well is one thousand a lot of health or little?" she asks "it's a lot I mean a lot the bandit boss only had two hundred and fifty" I tell her.
"holy cow pie how come you have so much?" she asks I shake my head "I have no idea" I tell her I look down the pathway when I hear a twig snap I see an ogre and shake my head "I hate these guys" I tell Vanellope she looks and sees the ogre "what is it?" "it's an ogre" I tell her I pull out my new katana and spin it around in my hand I look over at Vanellope and she's holding the Bo staff in front of her I put my hand on the Bo staff and lower it "leave this to me sweet pea" I look back to the ogre and raise my sword. I run up at it and as it swings its fists at me I jump up and land on it's arms I spin around and cut it's head off and it's over "ok so that was easier than expected" I say jumping off the body it's body shines and some orbs fly off into it and towards Vanellope the orbs float around her and go into her "what was that?" she asks "I have no idea" I tell her "well let's not wait here for another ogre to show up" I say grabbing her hand and walking down the path.
After a couple minutes of walking I begin to get an idea of where we are "ok so I remember I fell out of that tree so my tree house has to be around here some where" I tell Vanellope "this place looks awesome" she says "it may not be as sweet as your game but I like it" I say smiling "so where is your tree house?" she ask I look at where a trail use to be a trail that led to my house there's a bunch of vines and dirt covering a large stone door I walk up to it and place my hand on it the door starts shining and opens up Vanellope pulls her self close to me and I walk in as soon as were inside the door shuts behind us I look up at where my tree house should be but instead see a large temple with stairs leading to the top I look closer and see some one standing up at the top "wait here" I tell Vanellope she nods and I walk up the stairs I get to the top and stand in front of the person they're wearing a mask over their face and are wearing the same clothes I am except they have my old sword I shake my head "no way" I say as I walk up to them they obviously see me but they're not saying anything I walk up and poke them in the face.
They jump back and pull out their sword and point it at me "ahh finally no one has challenged me in a while" he says spinning his sword I pull out my katana and point it at him I run up and swing he dodges and swings at me I duck and spin on the ground tripping him "woah you have some moves I've never seen before" he says standing up he swings at me and I dodge he keeps swinging and I keep dodging I get fed up and glitch at him I get him in the torso and send him flying against the wall of the temple he stands up and I see his health bar go from 1000 to 809 I smile "you know I thought the me of this game would be more of a challenge" I say walking up to him he looks up at me "what do you mean?" he says I extend my hand out to him and he grabs it and I help him up.
"I'm you except I'm from the arcade version of your game" I tell him he pulls down his mask and of course there's me he looks down the stairs and so do I we see Vanellope running up the stairs "is she with you?" he whispers to me I nod "you know shes kinda cute" he says I slap him in the back of the head he looks at me and throws his hands up "what?" he ask I show him the ring on my finger "oh I see well congrats" he says patting me on the back "thanks" I say. She reaches the top of the stairs and stands next to me "what happened?" "oh me and me got into a fight" I say to her she looks at mmo me and smiles "hello I'm Vanellope" she says grabbing his hand and shaking it "hello I'm the ninja master" he says "the ninja master is that really your name?" she asks he nods "yeah not many people get to me so the programmers never really bothered giving me a good name" he says I grab his shoulder "I know that feel bro" I say "well are you guys hungry I got some..." "fruit and venison?" I say cutting him off he laughs and heads for the front of the temple I hear him sigh and look at the ground "yeah exactly" he says opening the door.
Were sitting around a big fancy table eating some apples and venison "oh my I forgot how much I loved this stuff" I say to mmo me "yeah I never had anything else though" he says frowning "you know if you ever get the chance have some candy" I tell him he nods as he cuts his meat "so what brings you to the game?" he asks me "oh I was you know just wandering around the Internet and.." "he was home sick" Vanellope says cutting me off "well your welcomed to stay here as long as you'd like" he tells us "thank you Josh I mean ninja guy Josh but we have to get home" Vanellope tells him.
"well good luck finding the way out I haven't been able to find it" he tells us "why do you want to leave?" I ask him "oh I don't" he says swallowing a piece of apple "so why were you looking for the exit?" "I wasn't that's why I haven't been able to find it I haven't been looking" he tells us I shake my head and chuckle "Josh this isn't funny we have to get home" Vanellope says punching me in the shoulder "alright alright we will don't worry sweet pea" I say we finish our food and mmo me shows us where we can sleep "alright so we sleep than tomorrow we will find our way home" I say to Vanellope as I lay down she jumps in next to me and we fall asleep.
I'm in the forest again flipping and jumping through the trees chasing down a deer the first one I've seen in months "come on I'm starving" I say to my self I'm catching up quickly I pull out my sword and jump onto it's back it staggers to the side I raise my sword but before I get to kill it a branch comes out of no where and hits me in the face I fall off the deer and hit the ground I look up and see the deer running off into the forest I jump up onto my feet and chase the deer again I jump back into the trees and head in the direction the deer ran I cant locate it so I find a large tree and jump to the top hoping to find another deer but as I land on the top branch it flashes and disappears I fall down and land on the ground I groan and close my eyes.
When I open them again I'm back in the temple laying down in the bed I sigh and look over to Vanellope who's still asleep I really want to go exploring around the world but I just can't leave her here I wiggle my arm loose and sit up I wonder where mmo me is I think for a moment I really should get a nickname for him or something then again I have no idea how long I'm going to know him it could be forever or I could never see him again I shake my head I step off the bed and stand up I grab my left arm with my right hand and pull it over to the right stretching it I do the same with my other arm and I exit the room. I walk around the temple looking for other me but can't locate him but it doesn't really matter I'm enjoying looking around the temple it's much nicer than my old tree house "that lucky s.o.b" I say to my self as I turn another corner "god damn this place is big" I say opening a door I look inside and see a bunch of swords and Bo staffs and nun chucks lining the walls I shake my head "he even has his own god damn training room" I say stepping inside the room I smile as I take a sword off the wall that looks exactly like my old one.
I walk over to the training dummy and I start slashing at it with the sword I stab through it and pull the sword back out "yeah it's a good sword" I turn around and see me standing there leaning on the doorframe "yeah I have the same one at home" I tell him he walks up to the wall and takes down a Bo staff "you know Vanellope might like this one better than her current low level one" he tells me I raise an eyebrow "low level one?" "yeah I mean she's only level one so she starts with a low level weapon but I can get you guys some top notch gear" he says throwing me the staff. I catch it and spin it around "I don't know I don't really want her fighting" I tell him "oh ok I see alright so she's going to want some armor than something that can keep you and her alive" he says walking to a door "I mean I don't even know how long were going to be here Vanellope wants to go home" I tell him "who knows how long it could take you to find the exit you're going to need gear to keep you alive" he says opening the door I walk up next to him and look into the room and my jaw drops.
"how did you get all of this?" I ask him as I step into the room "oh well I'm the ninja master the you know final boss of this game" he tells me I turn and look at him "so they made me into the final boss of the game that's awesome!" I say he smiles and walks into the room "yeah it is isn't it so take your pick" he says gesturing to all of the walls "you know Vanellope will want to choose her own armor" I tell him "well let's go get her than" he says walking out of the room I follow we walk through the halls looking for Vanellope because she wasn't in the room. "hey sweet pea where are you!" I yell with no response a blue flash comes out of no where and Vanellopes standing in front of us "there you guys are I've been looking all over" she says I look back and see the other me hiding behind my back I shake my head and laugh "oh don't worry buddy I got the crap scared outta me the first time too" I say patting him on the back he pushes my hand away and steps back "I was not scared" he says pulling his mask up and turning around "where's he going?" Vanellope asks "he's going to get our upgrades" I tell her following him.
Were back in the equipment room looking around for what we want "you know I like these clothes but I don't like the robe" Vanellope says pulling the robe off "well I wore these clothes for ten years so I'm glad to get rid of them" I say pulling some armor off the wall I slip the silver chest plate over my head and put my arms through the holes "oh yeah I like this" I say tapping the armor I grab some leather gloves off of the wall and feel them "cow hide" I hear other me say "not very strong but keeps your hands warm at night and around here your going to need them" he says. I look back at Vanellope and shes decided to keep the ninja outfit I laugh as she tries spinning the Bo staff around she ends up dropping it she frowns and picks it up I walk over to her and take the staff "hey what's the big idea Josh!" I walk back to the wall and grab a small dagger I take it over to Vanellope and I hand it to her "here just use this" I tell her putting the staff in a holster on my back I look around for another weapon I could use I spot a bow near the top of the room I jump up and grab it "this will do" I say tugging the string I look around for a quiver and arrows I hear someone whistle and I turn around to see other me standing there with the quiver and arrows he passes them to me and I catch it.
I put it on my back and it fuses with the armor "wow this armor can hold everything" I say as I throw the string of the bow over my head "yeah I'm gonna hate to part with it but I don't really need it" other me says as he pulls a sword holster off the wall he passes it to me and I put it around my waste I look up and he's handing me a sword I look at it and smile "my old sword" I say putting it in my holster "well technically my old sword you just happened to have the exact same one" he says putting his hand on my shoulder I put my hand on his shoulder as well "thanks" I say grabbing his hand with my free one and shaking it. We exit the equipment room and head for the front of the temple before me and Vanellope head down the stairs mmo me stops me "almost forgot you're going to need these" he says handing me a satchel I open it up and see a bunch of potions and books in it I hand it to Vanellope she puts it on and closes it "again thank you" I say hugging him "no problem us masters we have to stick together" he says pulling away "alright Josh we have to go we don't have much time" Vanellope says pulling me down the stairs she turns around and waves at other me "thank you ninja Josh!" she says.
Were walking out of the stone door and it closes behind us I look around and see a ogre running at us in the distance I sigh and take out my bow I load it with an arrow and pull back the string I'm about to shoot the arrow when Vanellope stops me "what is it?" I ask she points to the ogre and I look closer "what no way is that..." Vanellope runs up to the supposed ogre and jumps onto him I shake my head and walk up to them "how did you get here?" I hear Vanellope ask "oh a paper clip led us here" I hear Ralph say I run over to them and see that it really is Ralph as the ogre. Ralph spots me running up and he puts Vanellope down and walks over to me "kid we are going back right now" he says pointing a finger at me I cross my arms "ok lead the way then" I say tapping my foot he looks around and back down to me "ok were going back as soon as we find the exit" he says picking me up "ok so a moment ago you said us so who is us?" I ask he opens his mouth to say something when I hear yelling "wreck-it did you find them!" I hear Calhoun yell I roll my eyes and look over his shoulder and see Calhoun at least I think it's her.
As she nears I can tell shes changed she no longer wears her armor now she has a brown tunic and a sword at her side I can see some chain armor under her shirt and she's wearing a pointy hat I look back at Ralph a I can see that he's wearing some old tattered brown clothes that look like a potato sack "so what does Felix look like?" I ask Ralph "he looks like Felix except he has a purple robe and a golden wand instead of hammer" Ralph tells me "so where is he?" I ask "well he was with Calhoun" he says turning around "hey where's Felix?" he asks Calhoun. She turns her back towards us an I see Felix hanging onto her breathing heavily "what happened to him?" I ask "we ran into an ogre" she says walking towards us again "how much health did he lose?" I ask she shakes her head "none he got tired from running away" she says I bite my lip holding back a laugh "alright we found them let's go home now please" Felix says letting out a breath "ok let's find the exit" Calhoun says heading down the path I shake my head and Ralph puts me on his shoulder and Vanellope jumps up onto his other shoulder and were off.
As were walking through the forest I see something in the corner of my eye I look over and watch as 6 guys in shiny armor step out in front of us stopping us "alright noobs give us all your gold weapons and armor" one says taking out his sword I shake my head and start laughing they look at me and the rest of them take out their weapons and point them at us I fall off of Ralph's shoulder laughing harder I start hitting the ground with my fist I stop laughing for a second and look up at them "we are not joking" the one in gold armor says putting the sword in front of my face I sit up "oh you guys are serious" I say wiping some tears from my eyes "alright lets do this" I say cracking my knuckles and walking towards them.
I kneel down next to Vanellope as she sits there "so what does this guy have?" I ask her as she searches his body "just a bunch of coins a cool looking sword and some potions" she says standing up and putting the coins and potions in her satchel I pick up the sword and pass it to Calhoun "this ones probably better than your current one" I tell her she takes out her sword and throws it next to one of the bodies and puts the new one in her holster "ok we don't have time to keep doing this we only have a week" Calhoun says "a week for what?" I ask "litwak closed the arcade and went on vacation for a week he left his laptop plugged in so we have to get back before he does" she says as she starts walking down the path. A couple of minutes of walking down the path and I see smoke not to far away Vanellope looks up and sees it too she points up at it "is there a fire or something?" she asks I shake my head as we walk up a hill "no no I remember there should be a village over this hill" I say running up the hill I near the top of the hill when I'm stopped by Ralph "kid we don't know if this village is friendly" he says lifting me up "Ralph don't worry even if they aren't friendly I'm pretty sure we can take them" I tell Ralph getting out of his pinch I jump up the hill and get to the top my jaw drops at the sight I shake my head and look back at the others "guys you have to see this".
