Hello readers! I would like to thank Kingdom Infinite and Jazz for reviewing the previous chapter! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Jazz, you'll have to wait for seven chapters after this one due to all the requests I received from Kingdom Infinite and the one from Guest. I'm not sure how long it'll take because of school, but I'll try my best to get to your request as fast as possible! Please hang on until then! (:
This chapter was requested by Kingdom Infinite. He came up with the world's name. I hope you enjoy it! (:

The ivy snake faced them, resolution shining in her eyes. "Jaa-Taa. (I would like to know as to why I've never seen any of you interact with anyone else.)"
"..."
Tsutaaja gave them a scornful look. "Ta? Taaja! (Well? I have the right to know!)"
"...It's because we Nobodies are discriminated." Roxas whispered.
"Ja? (Discriminated?)"
"Remember how your previous trainer treated you?" Axel brought up.
The Pokémon snarled in response. "Tsuuu...Tsutaa? (Mizuotokonoko...How could I ever forget?)
"...There are people out there who have attitudes like his toward us." The younger mumbled.
Her eyes bugged wide, pupils dilating. "TAAJA!? (YOU MEAN SOME DESPISE YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DIFFERENT!?)"
"Yeah, and they're out to kill us because of it." Number VIII growled.
The serpent gasped. "Ta... (No way...)"
"Five of our members were slain: Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Marluxia, and Larxene; because of them, we lost almost half of our members." Number XIII continued.
"Taa...Jaa. (That's horrible...Even so, not everyone is like them; you've got to realize that.)"
"I know." The blond grumbled. "But I feel like I don't fit in with normal people."
"Ta? (How?)"
He held his chin in thought. "Whenever I see someone regular, I get this weird feeling in my chest, like I want to be with them, but I know that I can't until I get a heart of my own; I feel like an outsider."
"And besides," the pyro interrupted, "we would be jeopardizing the Organization's goal; if we hung out around others, they would eventually find out and we would be shunned."
"After all, not everyone is open-minded."
"Taaa. (Unfortunately, that's true...)"
And the three looked off into the sunset, melancholy dead-set in between them.
"We're going to Game Central Station for mass Heart Collection."
"Ta? (What's that place?)"
"It's a world based in a town with an arcade as the center point." Roxas explained.
"Ja. (Really.)" Tsutaaja had a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Actually, all the action occurs in the gaming terminals; we're going to be inside the machines!"
The Pokémon smiled. "Taa-Ja! (Now that sounds interesting.)"
"It'll be a good way to clear our heads." Axel added. The day before's conversation still lingered in the air, weighing them down.
"Tsu. (Right.)"
The three were transported to a land filled with sweets. The roads were paved with ice cream, predominately sherbet. A little girl with black locks coated in sprinkles sped forward on a candy race car.
"Bring it home, kid! The finish line is wide open!" A giant with raggedy clothing, messy brown hair, and large, stong arms beckoned the child.
As she continued toward the goal, the ground suddenly burst with an infestation of gigantic beetles with strong exoskeletons to fend off strikes and strong jaws to chomp through anything.
More insects erupted in front of her, her shrieking as a swarm emerged from underneath the vehicle, launching the girl into the terrain. She was stopped only by a forest of lollipops.
"No!" The man ran to see if she was okay, along with an ordinary carpenter with an extraordinary golden hammer in his belt. "Kid, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine." the driver replied. "Let's finish this race!" She dislodged the obstacle from her ride. The bugs flocked toward the post, blocking it.
"Oh my land." The repairer gaped.
"All right. Come on. We gotta get out of here." The unkept guy declared as he took the kid in his mammoth hands.
"But I didn't cross the finish line!" She complained. The beetles gobbled up the marker, destroying it.
"There is no finish line!"
At the gate, many citizens were fleeing through it as a woman with short blond hair, full eyes, and a tall, slender body adorned in battle armor guarded them. "Move it or lose it people. Everybody out. Now!" The woman took out the gun she carried and fired it at the cloud.
"Ralph, it's not going to work!"
"We gotta try." As they approached the exit, an invisible barrier zoomed in and collided with the child, blocking her off.
From above, the Pokémon gasped. "Taa? (How is that possible?)"
"According to the info we received, the girl is a glitch. Apparently, glitches cannot leave their origins."
"Kid!"
"Ralph, I told you I can't leave this game." She put her hands up, the force field materializing in her palms.
"Come on. Get through." He picked her up.
"Ralph! Stop! Ow!" The error protested. He pressed on, but as expected, the gate kept her in, Ralph struggling as he failed to realize that. "It's got to work!" The exit still didn't yield.
"Stop, it's no use." She jumped off, the giant finally giving up. He knelt down before the kid, disappointed with himself.
"It's okay, Ralph."
The lieutenant finally got off, her task complete. "All right, fix-it, that's everyone. Now, we've got to blow up this exit." The man turn back to the child.
"Just go. Go without me." She plead with her eyes.
"But what about this game?" The carpenter inquired.
"Nothing we can do about it. Without a beacon, there's no way to stop these monsters." The woman stated as she cranked a bomb.
Realization suddenly dawned on Ralph. "Beacon?" He echoed as he gazed at a volcano past the infestation.
"Stay with Felix." He commanded as he approached the fighter. "Let me borrow that thing, lady." He took her flying disk and headed back.
"Ralph! What are you doing?"
"I got some wrecking to do." He push ahead before accelerating. "I'll meet you at the finish line!"
"No! Wait!" Felix exclaimed.
"Fix-it, get behind me!" The soldier instructed before lifting her pistol and shooting the incoming insects.
Ralph flew off onto the peak of the funnel, landing on a pile of Mento's. He let out a battle cry as he punched the layer, shaking it up. Gases gushed out as the candy dropped into the soda underneath.
"Come on!" The level fell apart as the wrecker continued his onslaught. "One more! One..."
A limb came out of nowhere and flashed, flicking him into a wall.
"Welcome to the boss level."
"Turbo." The man gaped, the mentioned cackling madly.
"Because of you, Ralph, I'm now the most powerful virus in the arcade!" He boasted as he showed off his insect-like body, consisting of two humanoid arms, six forelegs, double pairs of crimson wings, and a long, purple exterior growing from a head adorning a helmet, giving it the appearance of a racer. "I can take over any game I want."
As if on cue, an army of Heartless appeared. A swarm of Barrel Spiders, Pot Spiders, Pot Centipedes, Creepworms, Blox Bugs, Danger Bugs, Metal Bugs, and Prize Bugs dominated the field as Red Nocturnes, Blue Rhapsodies, Yellow Operas, Green Requiems, Black Ballades, Silver Rocks, Emerald Blueses, Crimson Jazzed, Spring Metals, Scarlet Tangoes, Grey Caprices, Striped Arias, Sapphire Elegies, Pink Concertos, Turquoise Marchs, and Emerald Serenades covered the sky above them.
"What are they?" The giant breathed as he eyes the enormous mass of Heartless.
"I should thank you." Turbo left the question unanswered. "But it would be more fun to kill you!" The bug threw himself forward as he swiped at his prey, the giant barely dodging. "Get back here, little guy!" The Barrel Spiders skuttled up to him before exploding, throwing Ralph into the air, allowing the Red Nocturnes to blast him while the Blue Rhapsodies shot ice crystals.
"Have some candy!" The boss struck him, crashing the wrecker into the platform. After landing, he recovered quickly and charged again, pushing various Heartless out of the way.
"Where do you think you're going?" Turbo crawled on top of him. The giant used the position to his advantage, throwing the insect off from underneath.
The man used the opportunity to return to the dent, but the enemy grabbed his legs, preventing him from reaching his goal.
"I'm not through with you yet! Up we go!" The bug took off, the wrecker in his grip.
"No!"
Seeing the mayhem the child was in, Ralph reached for her. "Kid!" Being a glitch, she could escape the potential skirmish. "Vanellope!"
The ex-king chuckled. "Look at that. It's your little friend. Let's watch her die together, shall we?" The boss clutched the victim's head, forcing him to watch.
"No!"
"It's game over for the both of you."
The giant became serious. "No. Just for me!" He broke free, descending toward the volcano rapidly. The Heartless surrounded their prey, going in for the kill.
"That's enough." Roxas declared as he summoned his Keyblade, attracting their attention. The enemies left the native before infesting around the trio. Immediately, the blond swung at the Creepworms and Silver Rocks, annihilating them. Some escaped the devestation by transforming into spheres of light, but he took advantage of their new form and threw them at the Green Requiems, eliminating the healers. A Pink Concierto gave off deadly poison, aiming to blind the Nobody. Predicting its intent, the samurai casted Reflega on himself, shielding from the toxin while redirecting it to its source, inhibiting it. Axel swooped in and ignited the Heartless with Firaga, the Heartless combusting. The assassin then enchanted his chakrams with flames, rapidly slicing at the Black Ballades, Grey Caprices, Striped Arias, and the other Pink Concertos before throwing them, the weapons bouncing off of air particles, striking the Heartless multiple times before killing the enemies.
The ivy snake was forced to separate from the younger, using Aqua Jet to keep herself in the air. Targeting the loner, the Emerald Blueses and Spring Metals approached her, covering themselves in a torrent of wind. Reading their moves, Tsutaaja threw Stone Edge at them, the rocks impaling and destroying her assaulters, the stray projectiles colliding with Yellow Operas, taking care of them as well. The Crimson Jazzes took the chance to set magical mines around her while the Red Nocturnes, Scarlet Tangos, and Blue Rhapsodies aimed their respective elements at her. Just as the attacks would've impacted, the Pokémon summoned Protect enhanced with Mirror Coat to reflect their powers, only doubled. The monsters died from the increased counters. The Bugs bounded toward the grass-type. The serpent screamed, boulders falling from inter-dimensional crevices, the Purebloods perishing as a result. The Pot arachnids charged at Tsutaaja, them joining forces, but she charged up a Focus Blast, shattering the pottery as it passed through them. The grass-type shot Leaf Storm at the Turquoise Marches, slaying them before they could get close.
The remaining Heartless were tricky; the Sapphire Elegies kept teleporting away with every strike as the Emerald Serenades moved at an incredible pace. The three went back together, devising a strategy. They nodded before separating.
The ivy snake stayed near Roxas as Thundaga rained onto the blue Heartless, switching places with the Nobody as the magic made its mark. Tsutaaja then used Mean Look on them to prevent escape before assaulting them with an infernal Fire Blast, ending them.
The Serenade headed for the Pokémon. She temporarily dispelled the cloak of water with Aerial Ace, striking the enemy before recasting the jet.
After studying its pattern, Roxas chose the perfect place and casted Aeroga, Air-Tossing the Heartless. Taking advantage of the predicament, he continued with a barrage of wind-type missles.
By the time the Heartless recovered and ran into Axel, almost all of its life was gone. The pyro threw his Eternal Flames at the Heartless, finishing it off. The trio eliminated off the second one in the same way.
All the Heartless eradicated, the three reunited.
"That was surprisingly quick." Roxas commented.
"Yeah. You know, we can go back now..." Axel suggested.
"No!" The other two declared in sync.
"Taaja. (I want to see the rest of this.)"
"Okay." And then they watched the scene below.
Sensing her friend's impending doom, Vanellope used her fault to avoid the monsters as she rushed to him.
As Ralph dropped, he held the badge he wore around his neck. "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad." He unraveled his fingers to peer at the writing on the medal. "There's no one I'd rather be..than me." He finished as he placed his fist forward, piercing the cover.
The racer glitched her way toward Ralph, aiming to save him.
She appeared from under the pit and caught him, preventing his death.
"Kid!"
"Don't worry. I got it under control." She warped, avoiding the ensuing explosion.
The combination of Mento's and soda created an eruption that shot upward, lighting up the area.
The radiance possessed the bugs, luring them into its scalding depths.
The boss was surprised. "You fools! Why are you going to the ligh..." Instinct taking over, the brilliance attracted him as well, Turbo fighting with his reason the whole way. "No! No, no, no. Yes...No! Yes...No! Go into the light!" The insect wandered into the lava, screaming as he was consumed.
The last of the viruses disappearing, the sky regained its bright radiance, the aura of the place instantly brightening.
"We're done; let's go." The eldest declared before they retreated via Dark Corridor.
"Appearances can be pretty deceiving, huh?"
"Yeah." Roxas sighed.
"Taa. (Ralph looked pretty bad, but he was actually a good guy.)"
"A lot of people are like that, huh?" The blond mused.
Tsutaaja nodded in agreement. "Jaa. (Like how Emonga was so cute on the outside, but manipulative on the inside.)"
"I thought you got past that." Axel commented.
"Jaa-Taa. (I did, but that doesn't change the fact that that was who she was.)"
"She got you there, Axel." The younger smirked.
"Shut up." He roughly shoved the offender.
The ivy snake laughed. "Taaja. (Or how Axel pretends to be offended by Roxas.)"
"What?" He glared at the serpent.
She shrugged, ignoring the leer. "Tsu-jaa. (I can tell you enjoy it; don't lie.)"
The redhead blushed a shade as crimson as his hair.
"You're blushing." Roxas teased.
"Shut up!" Axel pushed his best friend again, but this time, the other fought back.
Tsutaaja smiled. "Taaja. (You guys are some of the best friends I've ever had.)"
