Chapter Ten: BuzzzTube
When we last left our heroes, (Ralph, Rancis, Taffyta, Candlehead, and Spamley), they were on their way to the website called BuzzzTube.
Ralph looked over to Spamley, who still seemed worried about entering BuzzzTube.
"So, what happened between you and KnowsMore?" Ralph asked, trying to get Spamley's mind off of BuzzzTube.
"Well Ralphie boy," Spamley started, "To make a long story short, I got the opportunity to advertise for KnowsMore, and let's just say, I got just a little carried away with the flashing lights when designing my pop-spam-ads. It was a total mess, lots of people in the hospital."
"Yikes." Said Ralph.
"Don't worry, they all recovered," Spamley reassured, "It's just that now, KnowsMore got blamed by the public and he barely gets any people using him. People won't even give him a five-star rating anymore."
Ralph felt sorry for Spamley, "Wow, that sounds horrible."
"Yeah, it's all my fault." Spamley sighed, he then looked to Ralph with a half-smile, "But hey, enough about my story, what happened between you guys and that little girl you're lookin' for?"
"I think Vanellope believes that we don't care for her." Ralph answered, "I don't want her thinking that, so we have to find her and help her."
"Is she like your child or something?" Spamley questioned.
"Eeh, not really," Ralph answered, "Her and I are from different games, so I'm more of her best friend. And as her best friend, it's my job to help her." Ralph took out the heart shaped cookie and clinched it in his fist, without breaking it.
Spamley then looked at the Racers, "So what about you kids, why did you all come?"
"Because she's our president," Answered Candlehead, "We need her to rule us."
"Plus," Taffyta added, "We need her back to save our game."
"And," Rancis interjected, "She's our friend, we also have to be there for her."
"Didn't you say that you had another reason, Rancis?" Candlehead asked, smugly.
"Another what?" Rancis asked back, nervously.
Ralph looked back, "Yeah, you told me that you had one kid. What was it?"
Bright red blush crept onto Rancis's face as he started to stutter, "W-W-Well I a, you see I may or may not, maybe have a-a-a l-l-little cr-."
"MISSILE!"
Rancis was unfortunately, (luckily for him), cut off by Spamley's scream as a missile was shot right at them. As it turns out, they had entered BuzzzTube, and the site's automatic sensors had picked up Spamley's car and labelled the gang as viruses.
Spamley was unable to avoid the missile and the car was shot down.
"HANG ONNNN!" Spamley yelled, trying to land his car.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Yelled the Racers.
And, to make matters worse, Ralph fell out of the car into a building.
"RALPH!" Shouted Spamley.
The car got closer to the ground, "BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Spamley told the Racers.
The car crashed into the ground and was completely totaled. Luckily, no one was hurt. The Racers and Spamley got up, Candlehead was on Taffyta and Taffyta was on Rancis.
"Oh yeah!" Exclaimed Candlehead, "Now that's what I call a Sugar Rush!"
"Candlehead, get off me." Taffyta demanded.
"Oh, sorry." Candlehead said, as she got off Taffyta.
Taffyta then got off of Rancis.
"I'm alive." Rancis whimpered.
Spamley then looked at his destroyed car, "No! My baby! I will avenge you."
"I'm sorry about your car." Rancis said.
"It's okay Roy."
"Rancis."
"Yes. Once we find your friend, I'll just commission someone to make me a new one." Spamley reassured.
"Alright." Rancis replied.
"Speaking of, did anyone see where Ralph landed?" Asked Spamley.
"I saw him fall into that building." Candlehead answered.
"Oh no." Sighed Spamley, "Let's go!"
As it turns out, Ralph landed in a BuzzzTube recording studio and the sign on it glowed 'ON AIR'.
When the group ran in, Ralph was just getting up and was in front of a camera that was on in a kitchen set.
"Ralph!" Spamley whispered over to Ralph, "They can see us if we are in front of a camera. Remember?"
"Oh, aahh. Hello world, I'm Wreck-It Ralph." Ralph awkwardly introduce, "I don't know what I'm doing but-." Ralph then bumped into the counter causing some of the pots and pans to fall and one them fell right onto Ralph's hand.
"YYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA-!" Ralph's scream of pain was cut off from others viewing pleaser, when Candlehead turned off the camera.
"Ow, ow, ow." Ralph cried.
"Hey, I thought you punch bricks daily?" Taffyta questioned.
"Yeah, but that pan hit the sweet spot." Ralph answered.
"Wait, you have sugar in your hands?" Asked Candlehead.
Taffyta turned to Candlehead, "Oh My God, Candlehead I will slap you!"
"Just asking." Sighed Candlehead.
Spamley then went in front of the group, "Alright, without my car, it's about a half an hour walk to the main tower."
"Then let's get going." Said Ralph.
As the group made their way to the main control tower of BuzzzTube, it was unknown to them that Ralph's video was uploaded to BuzzzTube for the world to see.
On their way, they got a good look at BuzzzTube. The sky was a mix of dark blue and purple, there were many tall buildings with satellites on them, and finally, there were neon color lights flashing everywhere.
"Wow," Gasped Candlehead, "Snowanna would sure love this place."
"Most likely." Replied Taffyta, "But then again, she likes anything with bright colors, like a little kid."
"Aren't we all kids?" Asked Rancis.
"No one asked you, Rancis." Taffyta snapped back.
Thirty minutes later.
"Well, here we are," Introduced Spamley, "BuzzzTube Tower. Oh boy."
"Don't worry Vanellope, we'll find you soon." Ralph said, to himself.
"Anyone else find it weird that they stopped attacking us after they fired the missile?" Questioned Taffyta.
"Maybe it was a miss-fire." Suggested Candlehead.
"HALT! Who goes there!?" Asked a weird looking Netizen, guarding the door to the tower.
"Hey, you know who I am." Replied Spamley.
"Yes I know who you are, Spam Bot, and no, I will not let you or your cronies into the tow-."
She was then cut off by a voice on the intercom, "B.E.V. Let them in."
"Um, yes Ma'am." B.E.V. replied, as the door opened, and she stepped aside.
As the group walked in Taffyta stuck her tongue out at B.E.V. which annoyed her. The group got into the elevator that brings them to the top of the tower.
Meanwhile.
"They're almost here Ma'am." Said a Male voice.
"Good Mr, he will be the perfect thing to save us." Said a Female voice, "Though stand by for that Spam Bot."
"Yes Ma'am." The Male voice replied.
As the doors to the main office opened, the man turned his tablet into a lazer gun and pointed it right at the door.
"DON'T SHOOT!" Yelled Spamley.
"You got a lot of nerve coming back here Spamford." The Female Netizen said. The Female Netizen had blue skin and hair in the style of a mohawk swept to the side with a visor and heart-shaped earrings. She wears a blue, extremely tight dress with a heart-like pattern along with a blue fur coat. She also wears blue boots with this outfit.
"Hey, Hey, Hey, I come without pop-ups." Defended Spamley, "I'm just chaperoning these arcade game dwellers though the internet to find their friend."
"And this concerns me, how?" The Female Netizen asked.
Then, Ralph stepped up, "We were told that you had a Search History Tracker, and we want to know if you could let us use it to find our friend, Vanellope."
"Well I don't know who Vanellope is, but I do know who you are Ralph." The Female Netizen said, as she flipped over her desk right to Ralph.
"Wait, really?" Asked Ralph.
The Female Netizen grabbed Ralph's hand, "Come on. I want to show you something." She pulled Ralph to a wall of screens.
"How does this answer my question?" Ralph asked, as he was pulled to the wall.
"Look at this, it's amazing." The Female Netizen exclaimed.
The group looked at the screens and all they saw was Ralph's video.
"Isn't that Ralph's video?" Rancis questioned.
"Yes it is, Peanut-Butter Hat." The Female Netizen answered, "You see, when you guys broke into my website, Ralph made this video, and while it was kinda cringy at first, but the perfectly cut scream made people love this video. And I mean LOVE. In only a half an hour, this video, somehow, became BuzzzTube's most viewed video, EVER."
Ralph was impressed, but he still wanted an answer to his question, "This is good and all, but how does this answer my question?"
"All in do time Ralph, my man." The Female Netizen answered, "You see, while BuzzzTube is still a very popular video sharing site, we have recently been losing viewers,"
"And profit." Cut in The Male Netizen.
"That as well, Mr," The Female Netizen continued, "To other sites like, YouTube, Instagram, and even, TikTok." She said, gritting her teeth, "So here's my Bargen."
"I'm listening." Ralph stated.
"You want to find your friend, and I need this site to get popular, and you are popular." The Female Netizen stated.
"Get to the point lady." Demanded Taffyta.
"MY POINT, IS!" The Female Netizen said, tensely, "If Ralph makes more videos, to make our site more money, I will let you guys use my tracker to help find your little friend, Penelope."
"Um, it's Vanellope." Ralph corrected.
"Tomato, Tomato. Do we have a deal?" The Female Netizen asked, holding her hand out.
"Alright, deal." Ralph said.
The two shook hands.
"Okay Ralph," The Female Netizen started, "Since you and your posies work for me for now, I shall now introduce myself. My name is, Mrs. Algo Rhythm, but you guys can just call me, Mrs. Rhythm."
"And I'm her assistant, Mr. Poly Rhythm," The Male Netizen revealed, "But you guys can call me, Poly."
"No one asked you, Mr." Mrs. Rhythm snapped.
"Sorry." Poly sighed.
"So Mrs. Rhythm, how do you want me to make more money with my videos?" Ralph asked.
"Simple, make more trendy videos." Mrs. Rhythm answered, "We gotta keep you up with the latest trends, fades, and memes."
"Well, what are the latest of those things?" Asked Ralph.
"Oh ho ho, looks like I got a lot of internet history to teach you before I can make you my star." Mrs. Rhythm laughed.
"But wouldn't people think it's weird that an old video game character is doing all that stuff?" Ralph questioned.
"Oh don't worry." Mrs. Rhythm shrugged, "They'll probably just think that you're a V-Tuber."
"A V-, What?" Candlehead wondered.
"You know, Virtual YouTuber, an online entertainer/live streamer, who is represented by a digital avatar generated by computer graphics." Mrs. Rhythm answered, "It's simple stuff. Now let's get started."
Mrs. Rhythm once again grabbed Ralph's hand and pulled him away, as Poly, Spamley, and the Racers, all followed.
NOTES: Now this was a chapter that I was really looking forward to because it has another one of my big changes. In case it wasn't obvious, the characters Mrs. Algo Rhythm and Mr. Poly Rhythm are the characters Yesss and Maybe respectively. As I stated in the opening of chapter one, I changed their names because I HATE THEM! Which is sad in my eyes because, much like with Spamley and KnowsMore, I don't hate their characters, but, much like the other two, I don't like their roles in the story, (you'll see the bigger change later). So yeah, they have the same voices, jobs, and pretty much the same designs with some notable changes done by my sister, raynkrystal, who you can find on Instagram under that name, (FLAWLESS PLUG). The only other changes to mention now are that, I made it so Mrs. Rhythm and Poly are married and I am going to give Poly more screen time, yeah for whatever reason, Maybe desponded from the plot after Vanellope went to OhMyDisney, just another for the bag of missed opportunities from this movie, (That bag is almost as big as the one for plot holes). Speaking of, I fixed another plot hole. One, (other), thing that made no sense, is that no humans seems to question why or how a 36-year-old arcade game character is doing all this stuff, so, (once again), I just added in a few extra lines of dialog to explain it. Anyway, next chapter I'll be doing my take on my absolute, (I'm being serious), favorite scene of the movie, too bad most people wouldn't even know that that scene even existed. Stay Tuned.
