Wreck-It Ralph: Cyrus the Virus
Chapter 1 – Life of Games
The best way to describe how a person is, is there eyes. The eyes of someone tell you everything about them. You look directly at them, you know if there lying…you know if there nervous…you know if there hiding something from you. The eyes of someone…or even a video game character. Behind those eyes, you think there's nothing but endless codes of programming. You are so wrong…
Two years have passed since Josh discovered the biggest secret in his families Arcade. When the lights go out and no one is around, the games come to life. They leave their games and interact with the other various game characters connected to Game Central Station. They talk, they eat…and they live. Something Josh Litwak, the owner's son never saw coming. And everyone else who knew him as the Gamer, would have never had thought something like this would ever exist.
Do to the rough living life of Josh; Josh was on the verge of running away and never returning to his home again. After his brother's death, he blamed himself for it. So one night when Josh was all alone in the Arcade, he slipped and fell on a ripped power cord that shocked him hard on his head. Thinking he was dead, Josh found himself inside the games he always played at the Arcade. And actually meeting the characters of the video games, and learning what they do when all the gamers leave. Josh shined the spotlight that not only did he know everyone, they knew him especially.
Upon his week stuck in the Arcade, his father decided to close the Arcade for a week, so no one knew that he was even there. Josh took it upon himself to learn how he got there in the first place. And learning something he never thought was possible, he was glitching. Not knowing and not even understanding how this was happening, he met a little girl named Vanellope from Sugar Rush. A racing game which consists of endless candy everywhere, even the cars were made out of candy. She taught him about 'glitching'. Upon learning that, Josh was able to glitch into any game like he belonged there in the first place. Vanellope finally found someone else that did the exact same thing as her.
But not everyone was happy with Josh. Various video game villains's found him to be obnoxious. So they wanted to take out some revenge on him for beating them every time and seriously enjoying it. So in Game Central Station, all the villain's wanted a shot at Josh, but he fought them all without even breaking a sweat. And everyone in Game Central Station saw what Josh could do, especially Ralph.
Josh knew Ralph from Fix-It Felix, Jr.,. He apologized to him for all the times he watched him get thrown off the roof of his game. But Ralph accepted it and knew that it was his job to be thrown off either way. With that said, Josh even admitted that he was Ralph's favorite character to begin with. The two became friends on the spot. But not everyone at first became quick friends with Josh. And that someone was Sergeant Calhoun.
Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun, she's from the game Hero's Duty and the way Josh met her, he'll never forget. The two drove each other nuts all the time. Getting on each other's case, Calhoun never wanted Josh to be there in the first place. He should have never discovered the secret of the Arcade. But as time when on, Calhoun learned a secret about the Gamer as well. And the two shared a common thing between each other. It's not the prettiest of friendships, and they may not show it, but Calhoun and Josh…they at least trust each other.
Then Josh met Felix from Fix-It Felix, Jr.,. And boy it was wild ride with this short guy. Josh's mouth dropped when he learned that Felix was Calhoun's husband, and she was his wife! The details were yet to be explained but Josh couldn't believe it. Life inside the Arcade was as real as if it were life on the outside, but these characters were real people. Living, breathing people.
So as the week went by, Josh discovered 'codes' from all the games he played. Beating each one and having them upload into his watch he used to transform himself into a different avatar. Josh decided that, 'change' isn't such a bad thing. Before all this started, Josh's Mom, who he thought blamed him for his brother's death, that Josh should stop acting the way he does all the time and change into someone else. Josh didn't want to change because he promised his brother that he would never stop being who he is. And so Josh kept that promise, for himself, and for Jason.
Josh decided that the games he played needed a 'change'. He's played them enough times to play with his eyes shut. So he changed how the game was played. Calhoun didn't like the idea at first, because if a game is acting suspicious, then Josh's father would unplug the game and everyone and anything left inside it when it gets unplugged, is gone forever. Josh realized then all the games his father unplugged through the years are homeless and living it out in Game Central Station. So Josh made sure he didn't change too much before the Arcade opened back on Monday. But something worse than any game being unplugged from Game Central Station was about to come forth, Josh's evil side, Beta.
You can say having Josh as your friend, he'll never let you down or ever do anything bad towards ya. But that's the side of him you see all the time, but other times, Josh turns himself into Beta, another person Jason called him when he wasn't acting like his usual self. Beta was the part of Josh that he hated. Sometimes Josh didn't even know he was Beta because he took over him. But Beta had enough of being blamed for everything that's happened in Josh's life and he was tired for 'losing' all the time. So with Beta's tricks and fooling Josh around, Beta manifested himself out of Josh's mind and was able to escape the freedom of Game Central Station.
Beta was destroying everything Josh had accomplished in Game Central Station through his time there. He was making every game character's life miserable, especially Vanellope. Josh saw Vanellope as a sister he never had, but she reminded him of Jason. So Beta knew Vanellope was close to Josh's heart. So everything Josh could do, Beta could do also. But there was one thing Beta did not have, the codes. The codes to all the games that make up everything. If Josh was able to change the games the way he wanted, Beta wanted to do the same exact thing but turn all the games into losing one's so they get purposely unplugged. But Josh wasn't going to let that happen. So he, and his friends did everything they could to stop Beta.
Discovering that the only way to stop Beta was to erase himself, Josh came to the conclusion that he didn't belong at Game Central Station in the first place and that he didn't want to have everything and everyone in danger because of him, and Beta. So Josh swallowed what left of humanity he had left and finally beat Beta, by killing himself. The only way to destroy the copy is to erase the original. Everyone was sad to see Josh finally gone, especially Vanellope. She cried her eyes out seeing Josh gone, but that wasn't going to happen, not after everything Josh went through.
The codes reappeared again, giving Josh a second chance. Like regenerating of any game character of the Station. Josh found out he's been given a second chance, and finally the doorway back to his world had opened. Saying goodbye to his friends, he waved goodbye one last time to them and he disappeared. Reawaken back in his body where he fell, Josh found himself back in the Arcade, and a whole week gone by.
Asking a million questions of his whereabouts, his Mom and Dad wanted to know where Josh went. Just telling them he was in the Arcade the whole time he was gone, he kept it to himself where he really was. Like they'd believe him in the first place right? Who would believe him? Finally able to let go of what happened to his brother, Josh finally sees the person he truly wants to be. Himself of course. That's all Jason ever wanted. But something still was missing, and that was his friends. Would Josh be able to return to the gaming world of Game Central Station and to see his friends again? You better believe it.
Seeing it as another night of the same routine, Ralph, Felix, Vanellope and Calhoun go on about their business. But discovering odd things happening around them, they discover that Josh has come back to see them, and that he's discovered how he can come and go any time he wanted. So that's what Josh has been doing. And as the time passes by, Josh has taken up the interest of becoming a video game designer. Living alone in his big apartment surrounded by electronic equipment, it seems the Gamer now, is the Game Designer…
Josh's Apartment
Bathroom…
Josh blinks several times staring at himself in his bathroom mirror. He just stares at the color of his eyes and checks to make sure something he ain't missing. Josh sighs softly and moves away from the mirror.
"E.D.I.? How much are contact lenses going for nowadays?"
"Prescription or colored ones?" E.D.I. asks from a female voice around
"Colored. Last time I checked I have perfect eyesight."
"Depending on the brand, colored contact lenses range from thirty dollars to fifty dollars. Would you like for me to bring up a search of nearby stores?"
"Nah, I was just wondering. My brown colored eyes seem to fit me just fine. Besides, having fake eye colors wouldn't seem real enough to me anyway." Josh explains leaving the bathroom
Josh enters the main room of the giant Apartment. The ceiling is really high up. Josh's Apartment sits on top of a closed down factory below. Josh managed to change the style of the upper floors to suit his tastes of the place. The main kitchen is in the far left corner of the room. His living room, sits a long extension of a leather couch with a giant flat screen TV mounted on a wall between the windows of the room.
The other corner of Josh's Apartment has a bunch of electronic equipment from various types of gaming machines and computer hard drives. Wires are scattered everywhere and several machines are broken up into millions of pieces. Generators run smoothly behind all the equipment because they suck so much energy. But shockingly, with all this high tech equipment lying around, Josh has an old record player on his gaming self with all his various video games from different systems. From today's video games to the 1990s style video games. Almost like a museum of gaming paradise for Josh. Josh walks over to the kitchen and around the counter.
"E.D.I.? Today's weather and schedule please."
"The weather for today will set high in the eighties. No clouds will be in the sky. Clear sunny day." E.D.I. explains
"Mmm-hmm." Josh says pouring himself a cup of coffee
"And your schedule for today is you have class at 11:30. Westwood College with Professor Arthur. Your texture and design level is due in two weeks."
Josh smiles.
"But the amazing part is that I have it done."
"Yes you have. Shall I download it onto your portable hard drive?"
"Please and thank you E.D.I."
Amongst all the equipment around Josh's work area, a small portable hard drive that's still intact flashes different colors showing that it's being downloaded with Josh's work. Josh looks at it across from the room and watches it stop flashing. He nods and sets down the cup of coffee. Josh walks over and unplugs the hard drive out of its connection. He walks over to his bag and puts it in. Josh zips it up and looks around the room.
"E.D.I., fast route to Westwood please."
"Uploading to your navigation system now. Main streets are bumper to bumper at the moment', Josh slides his bag over his shoulder, 'But I've calculated that if you use the route I created, you will arrive at Westwood in twenty minutes." E.D.I. explains
Josh walks to the freight elevator of the Apartment and slides it up. He looks back with a smirk on his face.
"Where would I be without you E.D.I.?" Josh asks sliding the door down
"To my understanding, you would be completely stuck and perhaps lost."
Josh shakes his head.
"I shouldn't have asked."
Josh hits the switch and goes down the elevator.
Garage…
Josh makes it to the garage and throws up the elevator door. He steps down off the loading dock and walks to his motorcycle. A MV Agusta F4 CC. Josh throws off the cover and the pure black color of the bike shines. He nods and hops on top of it. In another part of the garage, Josh's 'repair' shop has a car half covered up. He's rebuilding an old Dodge Charger. Extra lights shine on certain parts. It's mostly a shell, but it's a work in progress. Josh turns on the engine of the bike and rolls the throttle back several times. The motorcycle's engine roars in the empty garage. Josh smiles.
"That never gets old."
Josh holds the brake and spins the bike around as the tire burns rubber creating smoke. He looks at the door of the garage and speeds ahead. An up to date camera sees Josh riding fast towards it. E.D.I. sees Josh and opens the door for him. As Josh rides away, the door closes behind him.
Streets…
Josh with his helmet on looks down at his navigation system pointing out where to drive. The needle changes pointing to turn left up ahead and Josh does it. The other way, which is right, is blocked off by heavy traffic. Josh can just hear the horns honking.
20 minutes later, near Westwood College…
Josh rides up on campus and pulls up into a spot. He turns off the bike and looks at his watch. Josh shakes his head seeing the time.
"Exactly like you said E.D.I. Exactly twenty minutes."
Josh hops off his bike and walks to class.
Professor Arthur's Class…
Class has begun the second Josh walks in. Professor opens his laptop and looks at everyone.
"All right, let's begin', looks around, 'Is everyone here? Yes? No? Good. So let's start…" Professor Arthur says looking at laptop
Josh slowly puts his head down and keeps looking ahead.
"You all know your rough designs are due in two weeks. The level you can make can be of anything, get it to a point where it looks real enough. Any questions?" Professor Arthur asks
Josh lifts his head up and raises his hand. Professor Arthur sees.
"Yes Mr. Litwak?"
Josh clears his throat.
"I'm actually done with mine Mr. Arthur', everyone looks shocked and they all turn at Josh, Professor Arthur looks stunned, 'Could you look at it?"
"You, you have it done?" Professor Arthur asks
Josh nods.
"Yeah. Could you take a look at it?"
Professor Arthur shrugs and rubs his face.
"Sure. I guess."
Josh nods with a smile knowing he's done the impossible.
Little while later…
Professor Arthur checks out Josh's design of his level. He looks at it on a flat screen and checks out the level thoroughly. Professor Arthur is just stunned.
"In all my years of teaching this class, I've never seen level design quite this good."
Josh smiles laughing under his breath.
"Thank you, thank you."
"Look at these trees. The wind blowing against them. It's so life like. It looks as if I'm watching a movie."
Josh just takes in all the glory.
"I try."
"You're so far ahead of everyone Josh; it's amazing how fast you get this work done."
Josh shrugs.
"I have a lot of time on my hands, that's all I can say."
"This work here takes weeks to get done. Especially if there this good. How long did it take you to do this Josh?"
Josh thinks for a moment.
"Uhh…about a night."
"A night!?"
"Well when I woke up it was morning so it took me a night to do it."
"That's…that's impossible Josh."
"Not impossible, to you it seems impractical."
"Still, this is impossible work to get done within a few hours.', Josh leans against a rack and Professor Arthur just looks, 'Seriously Josh, what do you do?"
Josh shrugs.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Josh listen to me', Josh looks funny at Professor Arthur, 'I had a student one time who was a caffeine addict. He was seriously trying to get a sugar rush going', Josh smiles hearing that, 'he thought that if he worked all night on it, it would turn out great. Turned out he had a seizure disorder that he didn't even know about."
Josh gulps.
"Is he alright?"
"Oh he's fine. I still see him on a regular basis. He was one of my brightest students', Josh nods, 'You're not doing anything crazy like that are you?"
Josh sighs.
"I have my usual cup of coffee in the morning. That's the only 'sugar rush' I get."
"What then?"
Josh rolls his eyes.
"I'm telling you, you're not going to believe me."
"Try me."
"Does it matter how I do it as long as I get it done?"
"I'm just curious Josh, that's all. You're ahead of everyone here. I give out the assignment thinking I won't have weeks, nearly a month to check but you just bring it the next day."
Josh shrugs.
"I like playing video games. I also like making them. One day I hope."
"So did I when Atari came out."
Josh backs up.
"Whoa! That's way to old school for me sir."
"I still have the one my parents gave me."
"And it still works?"
"A few glitches but works like a champ."
"God…you still got Pong?"
"That's one of my favorite ones."
"My Dad's Arcade, Litwak's Arcade, ever heard of it?"
"My brother's son had his birthday there a few weeks ago. Told me it's a nice little Arcade."
Josh narrows his eyes.
"Little? Anyway, all my life I've played the games there. I love them all. You'd find my name on all the high scores there."
"You spent a lot there huh?"
"Nearly fifty bucks a week."
"Fifty bucks a week times fifty two…that's over $2000."
Josh puts his hands up.
"Hey, I learned how to get fast cash.', Professor Arthur narrows his eyes, 'Trust me, you don't want to know exactly what I did."
"Then I won't ask. But what does this have to do with how you get your work done?"
Josh sighs.
"Something happened to me when I was in the Arcade. Something…that I never would have thought. Or even existed."
"What?"
Josh sort of smiles.
"I discovered something that nogame designer would have ever thought."
"What?" Professor Arthur asks being a little impatient
Josh shrugs.
"Life continues on."
Professor Arthur narrows his eyes.
"Life continues on? For what?"
Josh smiles.
"The games of course."
Professor Arthur just shakes his head wondering what Josh even means. He doesn't exactly make sense but the idea rests in Arthur's mind.
"Okay. However you get it done, makes no mindset to me."
Josh nods.
"Okay."
"Well as long as you're ahead of everyone. I might as well give you the final project."
"Yay. More fun work."
"Oh this won't be fun. Especially for you Josh."
Josh rolls his eyes knowing that it'll be another piece of cake.
"I want you to take everything you've learned. Design a short game with characters and events."
That, catches Josh's eye. He slowly turns and looks confused at Professor Arthur.
"What?"
"I want you to design a level with what you've learned."
"No, no. After that."
"What? Characters?', Josh nods, 'Yeah. I want you to design a protagonist of your game. Shouldn't be too hard for you."
Josh gets somewhat uneasy about the idea.
"You want me to…design a character from scratch?"
"Is there a problem?"
Josh slowly drifts off thinking about the idea.
"Uhh…not exactly a 'problem' but…can't I just do with what I have and turn 'that' in?"
"What? Do everything beside the character design?"
"Yeah." Josh says nodding
"No. No you can't Josh. A game without characters is pointless. You create great story ideas for the plot and your level design is beyond anything that I've ever seen before. You have to add characters so the player can interact with everything."
Josh sighs.
"I still don't know. Creating a whole new character from scratch…', Professor Arthur just listens in, 'What if I design a character and they don't like how they act? What if they don't want to be who they are? Anything can go wrong. I'm telling ya. He or she might…', Josh turns and sees Professor Arthur looking at him like he's nuts, Josh gulps and shakes his head, 'In the matter of speaking…I'm just saying…He or she, the character I might design…might not…like themselves."
Professor Arthur just blinks and slowly walks around Josh.
"Josh, no offense. But if I hear you talking about video game characters as if they are real…you're out of my class for good."
Josh laughs nervously and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
"Slip of the tongue there Josh?"
Josh grabs his hard drive and leaves the room.
Outside in the parking lot…
Josh hops on his bike and looks around. He just about puts his helmet on but suddenly Megan from his class stops him.
"Josh! Hey Josh!', Josh holds down his helmet and watches Megan get closer, Megan approaches Josh, 'You going home?"
Josh blinks and looks around.
"Uh, not yet, I have to stop somewhere else first."
"Are you done with the level design assignment Arthur gave out?"
"Yeah. Finished it last night and turned it in."
"Wow. You're quick at getting this work done."
Josh shrugs.
"If you want to be a good game designer there's nothing wrong with showing a little initiative. Especially with the stuff I like to do."
"I noticed that."
Josh narrows his eyes.
I honestly don't see how Megan here can take an interest in game design. She looks more like a lawyer or perhaps a doctor type. Judging by what her eyes are telling me, there's going to be a little seductive and a lot of trickery.
"Maybe…you can show me how you get done with everything so quickly."
Josh slowly nods and looks down at his helmet. Megan waits for an answer and Josh just sighs.
"Sorry Megan. Not interested."
Megan looks completely shocked.
"Find your own way to finish your work. How I get it done is no one's business."
Josh throttles his engine of his bike and throws his helmet on. He speeds out of there and Megan just watches.
"What a dick…"
Josh rides away quickly and heads straight to Litwak's Arcade.
Later…
Josh rides through the parking lot of Litwak's Arcade. He rides his bike through parked cars but he slows up seeing a semi-truck parked right in the front doors of the Arcade. Josh slows up and parks. He hops off his bike and walks over to the entrance and sees moving men unloading a large game off the truck. Josh slowly takes off his shades seeing these guys struggling taking the game off the truck.
"Watch it! WATCH IT!" Mover yells
"Got the back end?" Mover 2 asks
"Okay, easy now. Slowly lower it." Mover 3 orders
Josh shakes his head. They manage to get the game down, but Josh takes notice how long it is. He whistles and the guys put it on pallets and jacks. Josh stands back as they open both doors to the Arcade, but as they move to the doors, they get stuck because the game is longer than the two open doors. The men see and struggle.
"It's not going in." Mover 2 says
"It has to go in. Open the doors." Mover 3 orders
"They are open, look!"
The men struggle as the game won't budge. Josh shakes his head and looks at them all.
"Um, excuse me, gentlemen.', the Movers look at Josh, 'Here's a suggestion that might help with your cause. BEFORE you unload it, check to make sure that it even fits through the front door.', the Movers look at each other in a dumb way, Josh shakes his head, 'Had a problem the last time you three were here. And still three brains don't make a whole." Josh says sliding his way into the Arcade
The three look at each other disgusted and continue to struggle getting the game into the Arcade. Inside the Arcade, Josh walks around and sees the various kids around playing the games. Josh sighs softly and spots his Father, Mr. Litwak handing out quarters. Josh smirks and walks his way towards the back of his Father.
"Here you go kids." Mr. Litwak says handing out quarters
Josh secretly sneaks up behind his Father. He clears his throat and sounds like a child.
"Mr. Litwak? Can I have a quarter please?"
"Sir thing', turns around, 'Here you g…', sees Josh, 'Josh!"
Josh nods and the two hug.
"You should have called."
"I was on my way over and wanted to say hi."
The two back up from each other.
"Does your Mother know you're here?"
Josh shakes his head.
"I can't stay for long I got a lot of work to do."
"How's the whole game design going?" Mr. Litwak asks walking around
The two men walk around. Josh shrugs.
"Well you know me, anything for a game I suppose."
"You like playing them, might as well make them."
Josh nods.
"Right."
"How long has it been since you were last here? I forget."
Josh thinks for a moment.
"A month I believe."
"Right. A month. Some of the kids here were asking about you."
"Hope they were good things."
Mr. Litwak smiles.
"Nah, just small challenges against the legendary 'Gamer'."
Josh sort of smiles.
"That's why the Gamer is still a 'legend'."
"Oh come on now Josh, you have time to play right?"
"Barely. With all the work I have, I'm surprised I have enough time to do anything."
"Welcome to life son."
Josh rolls his eyes. A loud bang is heard and the two turn around. Josh and Mr. Litwak see the Movers managed to get the game into the Arcade.
"Finally." Mr. Litwak says
Mr. Litwak walks over to the men as they set up the game against the far wall. Josh rolls his eyes and walks over towards them. The Movers throw the covers off the game but the game is still inside a wooden crate. Mr. Litwak claps.
"Well thank you guys, good work."
Josh rubs his eyes.
"They couldn't even get it through the door. How did they even manage?"
"All right, tomorrow I'll open this baby up and hopefully this'll bring more kids here."
Mr. Litwak walks way and Josh looks back and forth.
"Wait, you're not even going to open it?"
Mr. Litwak looks back.
"It's getting late and I don't have time to set it up. Besides I got to find an open spot on the surge bar to plug it in."
Josh looks back at the crate of the game and back at his Father.
"Right."
Josh sighs and yawns loudly. Mr. Litwak looks back and sees his son exhausted.
"When was the last time you had a good night's rest Josh?"
Josh rubs his hair back.
"I can't even remember."
"Late night playing video games?"
"No. Late night designing them Dad. I work a lot on my hard drive and it just seems when I'm… 'Connected' to it, I forget how much time passes by."
"Then you should lay off a while from it, no?"
Josh shrugs.
"I just can't help it."
"Well, don't go overboard on it."
Josh rubs the back of his head in a certain spot.
"It's hard to break the habit."
Mr. Litwak laughs as he walks further away. Josh puts his hands in his coat pockets and takes a step, but as he walks forward. A slight whisper is heard.
"Huh?"
Josh looks around wondering where the whispering is coming from. Suddenly the game that's still in the crate lightly lights up. The games lights shine through the cracks and Josh continues to search around for the whispering. He moves closer to the crate and feels as if the whispering is coming from the game inside the box.
"Is something in there?"
Josh puts his ear to the crate and suddenly he burns his ear.
"Ow!"
Josh rubs his ear and looks back at the crate. He slowly puts his hand towards it and touches it softly. But nothing happens. Josh looks at his hand and sees that it's not burnt, but, what burnt his ear?
"What kind of game did you buy Dad?"
"Josh?" Mr. Litwak asks from across the room
Josh looks back and back at the crate.
"I'm coming."
Josh turns around and walks away. And as Josh walks away, the crate shines again from the game peeping through the cracks.
Later…
Outside in the Parking Lot…
Night has come; Mr. Litwak opens the door to his car. Josh hops on his bike.
"It was good seeing you Josh."
Josh nods.
"Yeah, I'm glad I swung by I needed to see some familiar territory again."
"Are you going back home now?"
Josh looks around.
"Uhhh, not yet. There's some other friends I have to say hello to first."
"Oh. Well. Good night Josh. See you next time."
Josh nods.
"Bye Dad."
Mr. Litwak nods and gets into his car. He starts it up and drives away. Josh just watches and looks back at the Arcade. He gets off his bike and enters the Arcade.
Litwak Arcade…
Josh enters the Arcade and sees the games still playing. He spins around and sees them acting like they normally do.
"Really? Guys, it's me. Josh. You can quit the charade."
Josh sighs and sees no changes.
"All right. Fine."
Josh walks to the power surge that connects all the games together. He pushes two arcade games to the side and spots the surge bar.
"Hello Game Central Station."
Josh walks away and brings back a chair. He sets it up against a game console. Josh reaches in his pocket and pulls out the cord that connects the hard drive to an outlet. He finds an open slot for him to plug in the hard drive and snaps it together. Then Josh pulls out a cut wire he made, and as Josh connects it to the hard drive, it sparks showing it's connected.
"I'd say that's live."
Josh finally pulls out some tap and tapes the wire alongside the game console. He then sits down and taps the wire where he's going to place his head. The wire sparks some more and Josh sits forward. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
"And this is the hard part."
Josh slowly sits back and puts the back of his head over the exposed wire. It shocks him and Josh shows it. He clenches his fist and suddenly, Josh faints and drops his head. Josh looks like a paralyzed corpse slowly drooling out of his mouth. But suddenly the wire that's connected to his head lights up showing a small blue light traveling down to the hard drive. Josh is on his way to Game Central Station.
The end of Chapter 1…
Preview of Chapter 2…
Before heading to Game Central Station, Josh bumps into E.D.I. and her interface. He explains to her in her visual form that he'll be back. And upon going to Game Central Station, various game characters recognize Josh. But as Josh returns to the gaming world, he brings along a strange looking staff. Josh looks like he almost uses it as he did with his watch but this time it's in the shape of a cane like stick. And with that stick, he can do whatever he wants because he still has the codes. Finally we see some familiar looking faces who are pleased to see Josh has come back. Next time on Wreck-It Ralph: Cyrus the Virus, Chapter 2 - Balance
