Chapter 4

Fix-it Ralph

Ray broke the hug and stared into Ralph's chestnut eyes.

"Ehem!" Sarah cleared her throat and broke them of their trance. "It's almost 10."

"What happens at 10?" Ray inquired as he checked the time on his gauntlet.

"Nothing, I just thought you'd need some sleep."

"Right! Later Sarah. Ralph. Vanellope." Ray saluted them as he rode off on his codeboard.

"You're back!" Litwak shouted as he approached Ray.

"Yes, sir. Hey. Quick question. How many Codemasters are there?" Ray inquired as he pulled out his bike.

"Usually one for each arcade. Though, they usually travel from arcade to arcade on their downtime. You saw Sarah didn't you?"

"You know her?"

"She's the Codemaster of Jay's Arcade downtown. She got transferred there the day before you became a Codemaster. She's probably getting used to the neighborhood."

"Oh. Well I'm gonna head home now. See you tomorrow."

"OK." Litwak replied as he locked up the front doors.

Ray waved to Litwak as he rode home.

The next day at school Ray was sitting on the front steps thinking about Chad when a familiar face sat next to him.

"Sarah?"

"Hey, Ray. Thinkin' bout Ralph?" Sarah responded as she sat next to him.

"Hush! No one knows about me here and I'd like to keep it that way." Ray whispered as he walked toward class.

"When you think about it it's kinda obvious." Sarah replied. "You even kinda swish when you walk sometimes."

"When'd you start going here?" Ray inquired trying to change the subject.

"Today. And we both have the same schedule." She replied picking up on Ray's aggravation.

"How do you know that?"

"My secret." She replied shoving Ray's schedule back into his bag, unnoticed.

"OK, then you know that our first period is a free period."

"Yeah, but I had to check into my classes." Sarah replied as they sat in the cafeteria.

"Why are you here so early?" She inquired as she pulled out a bowl of cereal and milk.

"I had to tell my teachers I wouldn't be here tomorrow." He explained as he stole a bit of Fruit Loops from her bowl.

"Psyched for your date?"

"Yeah. I was thinking..." Ray started while unknowing to either of them, Dimitri was sitting outside the door listening to them.

"See ya later, Sarah!" Ray shouted as he walked towards Litwak's. But before he went 3 blocks he was stopped by Dimitri.

"Well well... Looks like the little traitor found a new playtoy." Dimitri spat as he stood in Ray's path.

"Ralph is not a playtoy and I never called you that when we dated."

"We said we'd never bring that up again!" Dimitri barked as his fists became ice-cold.

"You didn't have that problem on Friday!" Ray barked as he threw Dimitri into the alley next to them.

"Why him? Why now?!" Dimitri demanded as he froze the wall next to him without touching it.

"He's not a bully who gets off on pushing nerds into lockers! He's not a bad guy like you!" Ray explained as he broke the frost with a wave of electricity.

"You used to love the bad! I did it for you!" Dimitri barked as he chucked a sharp icicle at Ray's face.

"That was back when I was messed up in the head drunk on power!" Ray rebutted as a lightning bolt shot the icicle away from him.

"I bet your boy toy has no idea that there's evil locked inside of you... He'll never want to speak to you again if he finds out." Dimitri taunted as he sent a wave of chilly air to float around Ray.

"He'll find out about my roots when I'm damn well ready to tell him! At least he's not you!" Ray responded as he electrified the air.

"I was the best you ever had!" Dimitri stated as he closed in and threw punch after punch at Ray, clipping him dozens of times.

"Was being the keyword." Ray elaborated as he threw an electrified punch directly into Dimitri's stomach.

"As your prince, you should've showed some more respect and a little less restraint... Now go." Ray commanded as he walked back to the street not looking back.

After work, Litwak asked Ray to stay a little longer.

"I heard about your date with Ralph."

"Who told you?" Ray asked, a bit shocked.

"I overheard Vanellope and Taffyta talking."

"Dang Vanellope... Should out her if she outs me..." Ray thought to himself as he grinded his teeth together.

"I just wanted to tell you we'll be closed tomorrow so you're free to hang with Ralph as long as you want."

Ray's jaw dropped at the statement.

"You said what now?"

"I don't care that you're dating Ralph. Why would I? You're old enough to make your own decisions, and between you and me, I think this'll be good for the both of you." Litwak explained as he patted Ray on the back.

"Oh right! Hand me your gauntlet. I need to unlock some features."

Ray complied as he took off the gauntlet and handed it to Litwak.

"Hey Ray!" Felix called from his game.

"Sup Felix?" Ray responded as he walked over to the archaic machine.

"Ralph wanted to know where your date would be." Felix explained as he threw his hammer up in the air a few times.

"Just tell him to meet me at the entrance to Sugar Rush at noon."

"Airighty!" Felix replied as he left the screen.

"Here you go. Now you can teleport to GCS from anywhere in case of an emergency and you can teleport to any games inside GCS almost instantly."

"Sweet! See you tomorrow!" Ray shouted as he ran off towards his house.

As he opened his room door, his gauntlet began to ring and vibrate on his arm.

"This thing's a phone too?" Ray thought to himself as he pressed the flashing green button on his screen.

He wasn't shocked to see Sarah's face grace the screen.

"Hey Ray! Just wishing you good luck for your date tomorrow. And remember to be yourself."

"Is it possible to be anyone but me?" Ray joked as he kicked his shoes off at the front door.

"I've seen it happen. Night!"

"Night. Wait! How'd you get this number?" Ray inquired while he walked up the stairs.

"As long as you have a Codemaster's full name, you can call their gauntlet. Bye!"

As Ray hung up he fell onto his bed sleep taking him almost instantly.

Ray was back in the white room again.

He sat there for about 2 minutes before the golden-haired man appeared behind him.

"I assume you want to stay a Codemaster?" the man inquired as he sat down.

"If I was chosen out of all the people in the world, then you can count on me." Ray replied passionately.

"Good answer. Now I will bestow upon you 3 blank cards." He stated as he threw the cards on the table.

"What are they for?" Ray inquired as he picked them up.

"When you need them, you'll know. Just follow the code and let it be your guide." the man said as he began to disappear.

"Wait! Who are you?"

"Call me... Codemaster X." he replied as the dream dissolved.

Ray woke up at 9 feeling as if he'd been asleep for days.

He decided to play video games to pass the time before his date.

He decided to teleport to GCS around 10:30.

Then he teleported into Sugar Rush to get the date ready.

"Vanellope! Where are you!" Ray shouted as he entered the castle, but stopped as he felt someone glitch behind him.

"You got the stuff?" Ray asked like he was making a deal on the black market.

"Yeah. You gonna make Ralph happy?" she replied as she pulled out a high-tech containment unit from Hero's Duty.

"Until I die." He answered as he reached for the backpack of holding.

"You better or I will come after you with Calhoun's help." She threatened as she handed him the bag.

"You got about an hour! " Vanellope shouted as she glitched to her cart.

"OK!" Ray shouted as he transported to the peppermint woods.

"So where is he?" Ralph asked Felix as he stood on the rainbow bridge.

"Maybe he's late." Felix replied.

All of a sudden, a familiar board appeared with a note on it, and then disappeared into thin air.

"What's this?" Ralph inquired as he picked up the note.

"Meet me in the peppermint woods for a surprise."

"Ooh! How romantic!" Felix gushed as he patted the wrecker on the back.

"Shut up Fix-it!" Ralph replied as he made his way down the rainbow.

He made it to the entrance of the woods to find bricks. Not candy bricks, but real bricks that were in the shape of an arrow pointing to the taffy swamp. Ralph walked in that general direction, but was stopped by two hands cupping his eyes.

"Guess who?" the mystery person inquired.

"Zangief?" Ralph joked as he turned around to see Ray standing by a picnic blanket with a huge picture of Ralph stitched into it.

"I made strawberry everything because Vanellope told me you don't like chocolate." Ray explained as he pointed to a big strawberry cake on the blanket.

"It's perfect, but I kinda like chocolate now and I would've just enjoyed sitting in my hut with you watching the new high-definition TV I got from Hero's Duty." Ralph replied sitting on the blanket.

"Phew! That makes two of us, my friend." Ray sighed as he plopped onto Ralph's lap.

Ralph turned cherry red seeing his crush curl up in his lap.

"Wait... Am I going too far?" Ray inquired as he attempted to get up, but was held down by the man behind him.

"Not... at... all." Ralph replied as he grabbed a slice of cake.

"Umm... Sarah? I think we need Ray's help now..." Felix stammered as a huge fireball coasted past his head.

"It'll be fine... Everything's fine..." She replied as she absorbed the fire from the building into her sword just to have it catch on fire again by a stray fireball.

"Oh come on!" Felix barked as he tapped the building and the fire went away again just for Bowser to blow another fireball and light it like a candle.

"When I told Ray I'd cover for him, I didn't think I'd need backup... but I need backup." She thought to herself as she dialed a name into her gauntlet's phone.

"Well I know all about you, Ralph, but what do you know about me?" Ray inquired as he supressed a sigh of comfort.

"Well... You're Ray Hagane, age 18, you've come to Litwak's for 11 years now, I've been crushing on you since you turned 15, you stick up for those that can't do it themselves, and you're our codemaster now. Anything else I need to know?" Ralph replied with a smug grin.

"Not really. Just that I've crushed on you since I knew what crushes were. It was one of those 'I know I'll never get with this person because they don't exist' crushes." Ray blushed as he stuffed his mouth with cake.

"Oh really?" Ralph smirked as he started to tickle Ray into his chest.

"St-top! I'm t-t-ticklish! Ralphy!" Ray shouted as he squirmed in Ralph's grip.

"Ralphy?" Ralph inquired as he gave Ray another smug grin.

"Yeah... You don't like it?" Ray inquired as he tried to leave Ralph's lap again, but was stopped by his ham hands.

"No... I love it." he replied as they sat there in comfortable silence as Ray's gauntlet chimed out the Kimmunicator's ring.

"Give me a sec, Ralph." Ray asked as he finally left Ralph's lap and went behind the tree. Again, Sarah's face was on screen, but it looked distressed.

"Ray! I need backup. Bowser attacked Fix-it Felix and is wrecking the place. I called in someone, but they got captured by Bowser's goons! Help?" She yelled as a fire was raging behind her.

"We're on our way." Ralph spoke from behind Ray as the call ended.

"You up for a fight, because I'll need your help." Ray inquired as he set the teleport site.

"You kidding? I'm gonna wreck it!" Ralph boasted as Ray grabbed his hand and teleported to his game.

As they appeared in the game, they found the building on fire and Sarah trying to hold off Bowser with little success.

"Time to fight! Codemaster! I'm gonna wreck it!" The rings appeared and the armor formed.

"I'm gonna wreck it?" Ralph asked with a smirk on his face and his arms crossed.

"I always thought it sounded cool. Code Card Thunderblade!" the sword appeared as he charged the King Koopa.

He went up and over and slashed him in the face, but he blew fire at Ray and sent him flying.

"I knew I'd find you here, sweet cheeks!" Bowser barked as he halted his troops.

"Sweet cheeks? What's he talking about?" Ray inquired as Bowser walked over to Ralph.

"I broke up with you years ago! Why the sudden interest!?" Ralph inquired as the Koopa King hugged him.

"Baby... You know you'll always belong to me." Bowser chided as he groped Ralph's butt.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning seperated him from his crush.

"Step. away. from. my. boyfriend." Ray calmly uttered as he waved Ralph towards him.

"Who are you? The League told me there were only two codemasters that guarded this arcade."

"So you are with the league!?" Ray barked as he dismissed his sword.

"I only joined to get Ralph back. He left me for no reason." Bowser squacked as he pointed at the wrecker.

"You hit on tons of people while I was with you! Fuck your couch!" Ralph barked as he threw a brick at Bowser's head.

"Aww, come on! I'm sorry! I'll even release my prisoner." Bowser pleaded as he released the codemaster behind him. He teleported away in panic.

"Defect from the league and maybe I'll go back to you."

"WHAT?!" Ray shouted as he grabbed Ralph's arm.

"Shh! Trust me... When his guard's down, slash him to bits." Ralph whispered as he walked over to Bowser.

"Give me your sword!" Ray pleaded to Sarah.

"But..."

"No buts, just give me the sword!"

Ray grabbed the sword and the fire was replaced with electricity. He began to charge power as Ralph talked to Bowser.

"You want a kiss?" Ralph inquired as he rocked back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Hell yeah!" Bowser replied.

"Close your eyes and count down from 5." Ralph instructed as he batted his eyelashes at the big turtle.

"Ok. 5... 4... 3... 2..." Bowser counted off as he giggled in delight.

Suddenly, codes surrounded Ray and downloaded into his armor.

"The power to defend what I love... Code Card Speed Up!" Ray howled as he swiped the card and crushed it in his hand causing him to become a blur.

"Finishing Move! Brave Blade!" He barked as he slashed Bowser repeatedly, then threw two shuriken that materialized from thin air at him knocking him out.

Sarah reset the damage and the fire disappeared.

"How'd you do that?!" Sarah exclaimed as she approached Ray.

"I don't know. I just followed the code." Ray replied as he walked towards Ralph.

As he reached the wrecker, a glowing card materialized from Bowser's back.

"This is new..." Ray stated as he plucked the card from his back.

It had a picture of a skull with the letters L.O.S. on the back.

"So that's how the league captures its minions." Ray voiced out loud.

"Nnrgh..." Bowser mumbled as he woke up.

"Bowser... You okay?" Ralph inquired as he picked up his ex.

"Yeah... the league clouded my mind and sent me here to tear you away from Ray. I'm sorry." the koopa king apologized as his minions filed out through the tunnel.

"It's ok. I should've figured our break up would affect you." Ralph replied as he hugged Bowser and let him leave.

"So you guys are cool?" Ray inquired.

Ralph hugged Ray tight. "Yeah. I think we are."

With everyone distracted, no one knew that a familiar codemaster with a blood red gauntlet took the card Bowser had and added it to his collection.

"I shall harness the power of the L.O.S. and no one shall get in my way." he whispered to himself as he teleported out of Fix-it Felix.
