Chapter 1
Rumors and the Past
Ten years later, much has changed in Game Central Station (GCS). Many of the characters who lived there faced many hardships since the revolution. Some died from the cold, or working their tired and aching bodies to the code. However, even with everyone feeling so grey, with the Surge Protectors watching, and hard work days ahead, gossip was the only thing to get them all through the tough days.
"GCS is gloomy," a male worker sang as he carried a bundle of fabric off and placed it on a table.
"GCS is bleak," a female worker sang as she was adjusting a machine.
"My behind got frozen standing here all weeeeek," a shivering old character sang while wrapping his light weight blanket tighter around his body.
"Oh since the revolution our lives have been so grey," many workers sang as one as they punched their time cards in for work to end. "Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day."
"HEY! Have you heard; there's a rumor in GCS, have you heard what they're saying on the streets." Many workers sang, as a large man with massive hands, wearing a black and red jacket, brown pants, no shoes, and a dark red shirt. He is Wreck-It Ralph, a very large and kind man, who does what he must to get by with his friend Fix-It Felix Jr. Ralph made it to a news stand where a man was whispering.
"Although the Tsar did not survive, one daughter may be still alive." As soon as he said this, everyone looked left and right to see if a Surge Protector had overheard them.
"The Princess Tamora Calhoun," everyone minus Ralph sang loudly. A soldier over heard them and glared, silencing everyone, even as the man whispered back, "And please do not repeat."
"It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery, something whispered in an alleyway or through a crack. It's a rumor that's part of our history!" As everyone continued to sing, Ralph made his way through certain shops getting the theater rented for a while that day. Once he was done there he made his way to a plaza center, where a gypsy was setting snow globes with little girls inside them who looked like the Princess.
"They say her royal grandpapa will pay a royal sum," the old gypsy sang.
"To someone who can bring the princess back," everyone sang as one again.
Ralph continued to make his way through the plaza, trying to find someone, when he heard a whistle. Turning around he saw his old friend and fellow conman, Fix-It Felix Jr. or Felix as he likes to be called. Felix was wearing a dark brown jacket, he's not very tall, unlike Ralph who is around 7 to 8 feet tall, Felix is about maybe 5 to 5 and a half feet tall. He is wearing a dark blue hat on his head, a gift from his late father, black boots, tan shirt, and brown pants.
"Ralph," Felix called over, his larger friend.
"Felix," Ralph whispered back, smiling at his smaller friend. Both whispered something intelligible to each other as they made their way towards some venders and a couple con-artists like themselves trying to make a living.
"A ruble for this painting, its Mario I swear," a man was trying to make money off a possible fake of a painting of the Tsar.
"Count you suppose pajamas comrades by the pair," a female vender trying to get a couple to purchase her items.
"I got this from the palace, its light with real fur," the final man said, while Felix examined the item, before placing it over Ralph who posed with a smile.
"It could be worth a fortune if it belonged to her," both the vender and Felix sang at the same time, as Felix paid for the fur.
Both men walked towards their own little hideaway where they kept some of their belongings. "Well Felix, I got us the theater."
"Everything's going according to plan; all we need is the girl." Felix told his friend the grin on his face never fading, as he made his way up the stairs towards their little 'business'. "Just think Ralph, no more forging papers, no more stolen goods. We'll have three tickets outta here, one for you, one for me, and one for Tamora!"
"It's the rumor, the legend, the mystery," Felix sang as he danced around the room and made his way towards the open window. "It's the princess Tamora who will help up fly, you and I friend will go down in history."
Both men danced shortly and Felix made his way towards a cabinet holding the most precious thing to the Grand Duchess Tamora, her small gold and green jewelry box. "We'll find the girl to play the part and teach her what to say dress her up and take her to Sugar Rush." He was back by Ralph's side, a bag in his hand, and a bag in his friend's hand as well. "Imagine the reward her dear old grandpapa will pay, who else could pull it off but you and me."
"We'll be rich," Felix sang on the balcony edge.
"We'll be rich," Ralph repeated with vigor.
"We'll be out," the small man continues.
"We'll be out," Ralph agrees a grin on his large face.
"And GCS will have some more to talk about!" They conclude together as they slide down the side of the roof in glee, before making it down to the street below where many other characters from only lord knows where all singing and dancing below.
"Shh, have you heard there's a rumor in GCS, have you heard what they're saying on the streets, HEY!" Many sang and danced, before going off and talking about the rumors. "HEY!" Another exclamation followed by faster talking. "HEY! Have you heard there's a rumor in GCS, have you heard, but that's what do you suppose, a fascinating mystery."
Felix and Ralph were on a trolley both grinning, Felix exclaimed for all to hear, "The biggest con in HISTORY!"
"The princess Tamora~, alive or dead," everyone finished, and one last man cleaning a bird coop whispered. "Who knows, shh," before most of the birds left the coup and flying all around him.
WIR-WIR-WIR-WIR
Over in the Nicelander's Orphanage, a tall woman, who has been 18 for just over five months now, was leaving the only place she's known as home, since she was 8 years old. Before that however she lost her memory and can't remember anything about who she was except for her necklace, all it said was 'Together in Sugar Rush.' The head of the orphanage, a small and often very angry man by the name of Gene, he never liked kids, but since the country needed an orphanage, and his apartment building was the only building suitable for kids to live in he was saddled with a lot of kids he'd rather not deal with. As of today, he could finally kick out the one child he would've rather had NOT come to his orphanage.
She was currently saying goodbye to the other kids in the orphanage, as he was starting to talk to her. "I got you a job at the fish factory, you go straight down this path till you get to the fork in the road, go left," He stopped when he saw her just saying goodbye to the others. "Are you listening to me?" He demanded of the tall woman before him.
She has medium length blonde hair, some of hit help up with a piece of rope to give her a pony tail. Blue eyes happy at seeing the children, became dull at facing the short man before her. Heart shaped face framed by her dangling blonde hair, full lips portrayed in a sad frown. A dusty old black hat atop her head, black and grey open jacket to keep her arms warm, tan colored ripped dress, black boots, and a purple scarf around her neck to keep warm. "I'm listening comrade Gene."
"You've been a thorn in my side since the day you came here," he told her grabbing the scarf and pulling her along to the gate entrance of the orphanage. "Acting like the queen of Kingdom Hearts, I've feed you, I've clothed you, and I've-"
"Kept a roof over my head," she finished in a board tone, annoyed by the ever repeated speech.
Gene stopped from unlocking the gate, her scarf in his hand, and a glare on his small face. "How is it you don't have a clue as to who you are, and you can remember all that?!" He demanded.
"But I do have a clue to who I am," she tried to tell him, only he just scoffed.
"Oh I know, 'together in Sugar Rush,'" he said with mock affection. "So you want to go to Sugar Rush to find your family huh?" He asked in a fake sweet tone, at her nod in confirmation he just laughed. "Little Ms. Tami, it's time to take your place in life, at end in line, and be grateful." He told Tami before throwing her out, throwing her scarf at her he said, "Together in Sugar Rush!" Slamming the gate shut he turned around and laughed at her, scoffing at her dreams as nothing more than childish fantasies.
Tami just mocked the short man as she walked the short distance to the fork in the road, still mocking the short man. "Be grateful, bah, I am grateful, grateful to get away!" She shouted to no one in particular. Standing on the path that would take her to JAWS, a fishing village plagued by sharks, "'Go left he says,' well I know what's to the left, I'll be Tami the orphan forever, but if I go right maybe I could find." She said to herself, while backing up and then stepping on the path towards Game Central Station, before beginning to fiddle with her necklace.
"Whoever gave me this necklace must've loved me." Not knowing what to do, she looked up at the sky and asked "Send me a sign, a hint, anything?" She asked, taking a seat in the snow, waiting for a sign on what to do. As she sat there, a baby Cy-Bug popped out of the snow behind her. Cy-Bugs were well knows for the fact that they're like dogs almost, well some are. Most Cy-Bugs were from Hero's Duty, and were very dangerous; however some who aren't from that region are very docile, almost like pets. Simply enough said, Cy-Bugs from outside Hero's Duty are nice, friendly if not provoked, and very fun loving. The small green and black insect went up behind her and grabbed her scarf and began to drag it away from her in a playful manner.
"Hey," she exclaimed, trying to get her scarf back from the tiny Cy-Bug. As she began to partially wrestle with the little bug, she ended up in the snow behind the sign with the Cy-Bug wagging it's behind excitedly waiting for her to follow it to Game Central Station.
Taking the hint she spoke softly, "Okay, I get the message." Getting up and walking gently towards the Cy-Bug, she picked up her scarf, and looked down the road before her nervously.
"Heart don't fail me now, courage don't desert me, don't turn back now that we're here." She began to sing softly, before walking slowly forward. "People always say 'life is full of choices' no one ever mentions fear."
She continued to walk down the snowy road arms beginning to swing at her sides. "Or how the world can seem so vast, on a journey, to the pa~ast." As she continued to sing, Tami picked up a handful of snow and threw it into the air, the Cy-Bug jumping up and snatching some of it with his mouth. She continued to walk down the long road to GCS; a skeleton horse drawn carriage zoomed past her as she was on the side of the road.
"Somewhere down this road, I know someone's waiting, years of dreams just can't be wrong." Tami began kicking up snow as she continued to sing. "Arms will open wide, I'll feel safe and wanted, finally home where I belong."
She picked up Pooka, her new pet Cy-Bug, hugging him before putting back down onto the ground. "Well starting now I'm learning fa~ast, on this journey, to the pa~ast!"
As she continued to travel, she came across Bowser and his family. Bowser is the cousin to the late Tsar Mario; both rarely saw each other because Bowser preferred to live in the country side rather than the city. Bowser's wife Carry, a tall blonde woman with a smile that could light up a room, smiled at seeing Tami play with her children, Bowser Jr. and Katherine. Katherine looks like her mom mostly, but has her father's eyes, and grin, while Bowser Jr. is a spitting image of their father, with the exception of his eyes and attitude.
Tami and Pooka both played with the kids, and Bowser recognized her, but didn't say a word, not wanting to ruin the fun all four were having. Soon though Tami had to leave, and the small family waved her goodbye, along with Pooka.
"Home, love, family, there was once a time I must've had them too." She sang sadly, as she walked away from the happy family.
"Ho~me, lo~ove, fa~amily, I will never be complete until I find you~!" Thrusting her arms out, Tami continued to sing with Pooka under her arm. "One step at a time, one hope then another, who knows where this road may go~, back to who I was, onto find my future, things my heart still needs to know."
She was almost to Game Central Station by now, only a short while more and she'd be there. "Yes, let this be a sign, let this road be mine, let it lead me to my pa~ast, and bring me ho~me a~at la~ast!"
Upon finishing her song, Tami arrived at her destination, Game Central Station, where her life would change, and where she would find the answers to who she was.
