-==Chapter 3==-

Early Ralph Wrecks the Internet

Arthur rests in the lounge for 2½ hours. When he woke up, he saw that the Arcade is more crowded than ever. Then he saw Molly still playing Fix-It Felix Jr., in Level 129. The crowd cheered on her like Insane Cy-Bugs, and some even recorded the gameplay on their phones. The game is HOT, Ralph and Felix have done their best to keep up with the game, and with one last window fixed on the Final Leg of Level 129, Molly is granted access to Level 130, and the current score as Ralph gets thrown off the roof for Level 129, is 168600 PTS. Everyone in the Arcade screams wildly as Molly now reaches level 130. In Litwak's Arcade, the game Fix-It Felix Jr. is regarded as an Endurance game, and boy, does the goal to beat Hundreds of levels show it. Molly keeps going and going. She is determined to get the highest score in the arcade, one so high that you gotta be a madman to try beating it.

Arthur: "That Molly sure is someone. Many people idolize her, not like me."

Then he also saw many players queuing on Sugar Rush Super Speedway, and other games as well. He still has a lot of quarters with him, and the reason is because the Arcade's racing games allow you a free race if you win in Multiplayer races. Arthur then reflects how fast he starts to move on from Heather's death, all which took some racing at Sugar Rush, with its contagious environment to help its gamers find their well-deserved escapism from the cold and harsh reality. Vanellope's excitement to whenever she is chosen to race, specifically, her animation In-Game which Arthur first saw in his first game, is telling him to cheer up. For some reason, when he races as Vanellope, he starts to feel safe and comfortable.

He looks at Sugar Rush and sees how intense the current race goes. And as far as he is concerned, the current race is clogged with High-Grade drivers and in Simulation Mode. When he walks down to the first floor, where Sugar Rush, Hero's Duty, and Fix-It Felix Jr. are located, the Sugar Rush race is over, and the three players who lost the race step out of the game, leaving the winner to play alone and Arthur has to wait in line for his next turn. But the crowd is suddenly leaving Sugar Rush, because most of them don't have quarters, and a few of them plan to play other games, and that others are only recording the races just to post on Social Media. And of course, a big commotion at Fix-It Felix Jr. happens. Molly is now at Level 136 and 187900 PTS, and many people are going crazy about it. But Molly's run ended when she was distracted by a kid about to spill soda by accident. Molly caught the kid and saved his soda, but it costs her the game, and since that was her game's last life and Felix got hit by the last brick, it was over.

The crowd cheered for Molly, both for setting up a new record and saving that soda kid and his soda from spilling out into an arcade cabinet. Ralph and Felix were also impressed.

Ralph: "That Molly sure is an icon in this arcade!"

Felix: "She sure is! She's like the star of this place."

Mary: "She managed to beat the high score!"

Nolan: "And I think someone's gotta be a madman to try and beat the new record."

Big Gene: "Yeah, sure, whatever."

Ralph: "Ah, come on, Gene, We got a new record, that's something to celebrate."

Felix: "Hey, Ralph, you think that Arthur kid's gonna be alright?"

Deanna: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Felix: "Well, he…."

Dispatcher: "Quarter alert! Quarter alert! Quarter alert!"

Ralph: "Guys, we'll talk about this later! We got another game to run!"

Norwood: "Get to your positions, everyone!"

Kid: "Alright, Level 136's the new record, wish me luck, guys!"

Ralph: "I'm gonna wreck it!"

Felix: "I can fix it!"

The crowd decides to do another Rock-Paper-Scissors, and the winner of the bet is the one who inserted his quarter, and it's time for Fix-It Felix Jr. to start another run again. The kid is going to beat Molly's Record, and so do the other people waiting in line. Molly meets up with Arthur again. Swati and Nafisa follow suit.

Arthur: "So, you guys wanna play another game?"

Molly: "Well, I'd love to. Still have a few quarters left before I go home."

Swati: "Me too."

Nafisa: "Well, what games would you like to play?"

Arthur and the three girls then play different games, and when it came to 8.00 PM, they all go home. And after all the patrons finished their last games and leave the area, Mr. Litwak closes the arcade until tomorrow, which is Saturday.

Molly: "Well, I'll be going home, guys; would you like to take a ride with me?"

Swati: "Wait, you have a car?"

Molly: "Yes, that black WRX over there. (Points out to a Black 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (Blob-Eye model) with the Rocket Bunny fender flares, Twin Exhaust pipes on both sides, a massive Hood Scoop with vents on the sides, a Downforce Wing on the trunk, and a Body Graphic of Red and Silver lightning)"

Swati: "Sure!"

Arthur: "I'll let my parents know."

Nafisa: "I'm in."

Molly is not only a famous gamer, she is also a car enthusiast like Bladed Angel and JackUltraMotive. She starts her car up, and she and her friends board the car, ready to leave the arcade. Arthur was impressed at Molly's lifestyle.

Molly: "So, before we go home, would you guys like to go to a restaurant for dinner?"

Swati, Nafisa and Arthur: "Pizza?"

Molly: "Well then, we'll eat at Starlight Pizza Palace."

Arthur: "Whohw, I never ate there before. Sure."

Molly drives to Starlight Pizza Palace, an ACTUAL Italian Pizza Joint franchise. When they arrive, they take their table, a VIP Lounge. The reason: Molly's Stardom status, and that she got a Membership pass. The group orders the Buy 1 Get 1 Mega Pizza with sides of Chocolate Milkshake and Garlic bread. Molly then has a talk with Arthur about the full story about Heather's demise. Arthur told Molly, Swati, and Nafisa about when he tried to help some kittens, only to be picked on, by the bullies who then hurt the kittens and pushed Arthur to the middle of the road where a Truck would have wrecked him if it wasn't for Heather who pushed him away, causing her to get wrecked before she finished swearing the S word (You know what that cussword means). The bullies even throw garbage at Heather's corpse and Arthur mourning over her death, and escaped punishment.

Molly: "Oh, so that's what happened. I can't believe it. Those bullies should have known not to hurt those kittens or to push you off to that road. If I see them, I'd like to have a word with them, and before you ask, I'll try to be civil, and if not, well, you know what happens."

Arthur: "As much as I understand that you have to be kind, I kinda wish you would go Calhoun at those morons."

Swati: "You know what? I'm disgusted with those bullies. They are honestly unforgivable for stooping this low."

Nafisa: "One day, I swear, they'll get what's coming to them for messing with the Hell-Defiler!"

Arthur: "Hell-Defiler?"

Molly: "That's Heather's title, on Litwak's Arcade Hall of Fame and her nickname."

Arthur: "Well, isn't that intimidating?"

Molly: "And I came up with a title too: The Moppet Mantis."

Swati: "I'm the Dark Warrior."

Nafisa: "And I'm the Starlight Pegasus."

Arthur, Molly, Swati, and Nafisa talk all night. Back at the Arcade, Vanellope sits the Random Roster race out for the weekends. But in Sugar Rush Super Speedway, even if you're not part of the daily roster, you still have to be present in the game because there are players with Save-Data which has you as a playable racer. Vanellope drives the Fresh Mint Cruiser (Which she and the racers made when they discovered King Candy is actually a bad guy) with Ralph onboard to take an Express Train to the Internet world. The reason: Vanellope visiting Slaughter Race to talk with her mother Shank, whom Ralph has a crush on when he first met this badass racer bad guy.

Vanellope: "Okay, Stinkbrain, the train should be arriving about 2 minutes."

Ralph: "Well, we have time to talk, Kid."

Vanellope: "Well, what would you like to talk about?"

Ralph: "About that gamer named Arthur. I wonder why he is so sad."

Vanellope: "Arthur? Well, the thing is… he lost a friend earlier today. That friend was Heather Elizabeth Madison, or this arcade game's Hell-Defiler, you know, Moppet Mantis' rival?"

Ralph: "You mean, Molly's friend who was last seen last year? The girl whose title freaks almost everyone out whenever her title is said out loud?"

Vanellope: "Yeah. And Arthur said something about his bullies disrespecting her death like she deserved it."

Ralph: "Oh my, that's awful."

Vanellope: "I know, and I kinda feel sorry for Arthur. I do wish for the best for him."

The Internet train arrives, and Vanellope drives her kart to board the giant train. Both Ralph and Vanellope are now on their way to the Internet World. The train arrives at a station which is next to Vanellope's sub game: Slaughter Race. As Vanellope drives off the train and into the game's entrance, she and Ralph meet Shank and her crew. In Slaughter Race, an MMO Racing-GTA game developed and published by Freedom Games, the good guys are the gamers, while Shank, her crew, and the other NPC racers are the bad guys. The objective is to win outrun races by going ahead of your opponents: specifically you are to leave your foes 1000 feet or 300 meters behind, and last man standing wins. Winners are awarded with victory medals and pies while the bad guys (If you race against one) get thrown off the roof into a Mud pit by the NPC Bystanders, similar to the Level-Completion cutscene in Fix-It Felix Jr. And here's the story of Ralph and Vanellope when they arrived at Slaughter Race for the first time in 2015.

It all started when on early 2015, during a Sugar Rush race, two girls who are playing on both cabinets are battling as Vanellope and Taffyta, only for a group of bullies attempt to yank the girls out of the seats. Because the girls tried to persevere, the struggle became severely strong which causes the second cabinet to be totaled, and the first cabinet to lose its steering wheel. The bullies escaped, and were banned from the arcade for who knows how long. The second cabinet was damaged beyond repair and was deemed out of life. The first one was still able to function, only hindered by the steering wheel. Mr. Litwak wants to fix the remaining cabinet, but because TobiKomi is no longer producing the original Sugar Rush Speedway and that spare parts of the game was expensive, he sadly declares that it was time to put little Vanellope and her friends to pasture, like his grandma.

When the Arcade characters brought the Sugar Rush characters to the new homes during Ralph and Vanellope's mission to save Sugar Rush, the Sugar Rush racers are adopted by several parties. This include but not limited to: Felix and Tamora for Taffyta, Candlehead, Rancis and Crumbelina; Ryu and Chun Li for Jubileena, Citrusella, Gloyd, and Snowanna; Yuni for M. Zaki, Sticky, and Torvald; and Terry Bogard and Blue Mary for Swizzle, Adorabeezle, and Nougetsia. This is so that when the Sugar Rush boys want to get married with their respective girls, there won't be any problems with the Family Law. When Felix refers Ralph as Brother, it's because they have a close relationship despite having different bloods, and Mutual Respect. And when M. Sakura popped out of nowhere, she was adopted by Felix and Tamora, but still got in touch with her cousins.

-Start of Flashback-

Mrs. Rhythm: "Well, Ralph and Vanellope, we found a game that is currently having a Partnership with us at BuzzzTube, and that is Slaughter Race. And since you guys are video game characters, I say you guys fit right in for the job. So, you guys wanna make money?"

Ralph: "I sure am!"

Vanellope: "So am I! And I heard from Spamley that there are some Prizes for winning certain events."

Mr. Rhythm: "Spamley? You mean Spamford S. Bot?"

Ralph: "Yup, that's the guy."

Mrs. Rhythm: "Well, you guys are lucky then! Oh, and don't overdo making videos, Burnout is bad for mental health. Just do as you need to."

Vanellope: "Don't worry, we'll manage!"

Ralph and Vanellope board the Fresh Mint Cruiser, and Vanellope drives them to Slaughter Race. Both Ralph and Vanellope made their accounts, which to put it in a simple way, basically coded themselves into the game. Once their accounts have been verified, they are granted entrance. When they arrive at the environment of the game, a City called Metropolis Slaughterville, they are concerned about the smog, race cars driving recklessly, and of course, the climate that doesn't suit Vanellope's native sugar body.

Vanellope: "Ugh, what kind of place is this anyway?"

Ralph: "A Wrecked dystopian city if you ask me."

Vanellope: "Ugh (Starts whining and complaining), the atmosphere doesn't suit me as well. But hey, at least the racing's cool and unpredictable (Giving the game a little bit of compliment to be fair), and hey, we can win money in this game."

Ralph: "Well, I do hope we can and get that Steering Wheel to save Sugar Rush."

Vanellope: "Right. Say, you got the BuzzzTube Cameras?"

Ralph: "One for each of us, check! (Pulls out his BuzzzTube camera)"

Vanellope: "Oh look, there's a crowd over there, maybe it's going to be one of those races."

Ralph: "Um, I don't have a car to drive."

Vanellope: "Don't worry, I'll find you one."

Vanellope drives to a Car Lot, and Ralph finds himself an 18 wheeler truck. It is a Conventional Hooded tractor cab with a Flatbed semi-trailer.

Ralph: "Well, now that I have a giant kart, what's next?"

Vanellope: "A race? That'll draw attention."

Ralph: "Well, okay. Just, don't overdo things, and make sure you stay alive. Remember what Sonic said, if you die outside your own game, you won't regenerate, EVER!"

Vanellope: "Alright. Ready? Set? START!"

Ralph and Vanellope start racing her kart and Ralph's Truck in the city streets. They also start recording a BuzzzTube Gaming video with their BuzzzTube camera that Mrs. Rhythm and Mr. Poly gave them. They start making their first greeting to the Internet BuzzzTube viewers.

Ralph: "Hi, I'm Wreck-It Ralph, and I'm the Bad Guy of Fix-It Felix Jr., And I don't know what to do around here, but… (Makes his iconic gesture) I'M GONNA WRECK IT!"

Vanellope: "Hi, um, I'm Vanellope from Sugar Rush, and uhhhhh….. I don't know what to say."

The two friends then set the Camera to function as Third-Person-Gaming drones, following them as they drive around the city, and then they see a big commotion at the center of the game, where they see bunch of Racing Crews, one of them being the star bad guy Shank and her crew, the Dark Titans. Other Established-Character crews include: Eagle Wraiths, Black Dogs, Disaster Jaws, and the Death Slayers.

Shank: "What the? A new challenger?"

Ralph: "Well, there are actually TWO!"

Vanellope: "And what's this about?"

Shank: "Oh, we're making a Big Race, to attract gamers and try beating us ALL AT ONCE."

Ralph: "I've been told by a… an anonymous party… saying that there is this big prize money."

Felony: "Oh, which moron told you that?"

Vanellope: "That's for us to know, and you to find out."

Little Debbie: "Well well well, you're on, DOOFUS!"

Pyro and Butcher Boy: "OH, IT'S ON!"

Vanellope: "Let's see what you got. But by the way, wanna wait for those other gamers?"

Shank: "Well, since you maniacs want to get yourselves in trouble, okay."

Later, a bunch of Slaughter Race gamers gather at the location of the event, and they saw two peculiar characters being Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope Von Schweetz, and the gamers are convinced to think that these two are gamers using some kind of mods to make their characters look like the wrecker and the little girl, when in reality, Ralph and Vanellope managed to create Usernames on top of their heads, Wreck-It Ralph's username being: Wr3ck1tR4lph and Vanellope Von Schweetz's sername being V4n3ll0p3V0n5chw33t2, which are part of that Account creation (And was liked to Knowsmore Games).

The race starts after enough gamers gather to try and win the US$400.000 Grand Prize. Ralph, Vanellope, and the gamers manage to defeat the four crews, until Ralph decides to cause the gamers to crash in a Pile-Up, only leaving Ralph, Vanellope, and the Dark Titans. Shank and Vanellope are going head to head, while Ralph blocks Shank's crewmates, and by using his truck's mass, he wrecks them by ramming them off the highway they are on, and with only Shank left, Ralph and Vanellope go on a two against one to Shank.

Shank: "You guys drive naturally! I'm impressed, but this race isn't over!"

Vanellope: "Oh, this race will be over! Stinkbrain, you ready for this?"

Ralph: "As ready as I'll ever be."

Both Ralph and Vanellope gang up on Shank, driving a Mazda RX-7 Type R FD3S, causing Shank to cruise off the highway with Ralph staying on the highway, and at the intersection back to the highway, Vanellope shoved Shank into a building, allowing Vanellope to return to the highway with Ralph. Shank was impressed but also frustrated, because she is on the verge of losing. Never in her game has she lost to newcomers. She then goes to find a ramp back to the highway.

Shank: "(Drives past Ralph and chasing Vanellope.) You two won't win this race so easily!"

Ralph: "Well, we'll see about that! (Ralph drives away from Shank to a Detour.)"

Shank": "What a fool. Little Girl, you're mine now!"

Vanellope: "Well, you're going to wanna think twice about that!"

Shank: "You won't make me think twice, you little brat!"

Vanellope: "BRAT?! (Growls angrily and accelerates.)"

Vanellope then drives away to the city streets with Shank hot behind her. Shank thought of that Ralph guy and the truck that went to a Detour, and doubts him. She thought he was a quitting fool and continues to chase Vanellope, but…

Ralph: "(Driving from the right side.) I'M GONNA WRECK IT!"

Shank: "(Gets T-Boned by Ralph) AAAAAAOOOOOORRGH!"

Ralph then drives away from Shank and caught up to Vanellope. Shank and her car got thrown into a busy traffic. Shank was paralyzed by Ralph's attack against her, and the traffic cars crash into her, causing a Pile-Up. Ralph and Vanellope triumphantly leave Shank in the dust, and since the two teamed up, as they left Shank 1000 feet/300 meters behind the two, they won the race.

Announcer: "YOU WIN!"

Then, they are on top of the game's tallest building, on an Altar, showered with praise by the crowd, and are each given Victory Medals of their own. Shank, her crew, and other crews saw the celebration in disgust, and then the crowd throws them off the roof and into a Mud puddle down below. Ralph and Vanellope managed to witness the throwing of the crews, and the former two cannot help it but feel a little sorry for Shank, and are disgusted with the NPC bystanders. This is where Ralph finds out that Shank is a Video Game Bad Guy. And by the way, Ralph and Vanellope instantly underwent Level Up from LV.1 to LV.5 because of winning a BIG Event, and get US$400.000 in cash (Split in half because the two teamed up), transferred to Ralph's Online-Banking account which they won, and then, the two finished recording their BuzzzTube video, post it to BuzzzTube, and exit the building to meet up with Shank and her Dark Titans crew.

Ralph: "That's some amazing driving out there."

Shank: "Yeah right. Like you two would care."

Vanellope: "Oh yes, we do care!"

Felony: "Huh? You two gamers beat us in a race, why would you care?"

Ralph: "Argh, stop moping around, Frown Face, come on, we're good people."

Butcher Boy: "Wait a minute, since when were you good people?"

Vanellope: "Actually…."

Ralph and Vanellope explain to Shank and her crew to who they actually are.

Shank, Felony, and Pyro: "WHAT?!"

Ralph: "I'm glad you're surprised."

Shank: "But, that's IMPOSSIBLE! I don't know how you two Retro game characters beat us that easily!"

Vanellope: "It's simple, Co-operation and Understanding of your teammate, oh, and some sweetness too!"

Ralph: "And of course, the determination to win a Big Grand Prize, which we got."

Little Debbie: "Wait, you two actually went that crazy to get an Arcade Game cabinet steering wheel?"

Vanellope: "Well, yeah. Well, the steering wheel was initially US$200, but… um…"

Ralph: "After a dumb Auction debate, we kinda got that wheel's price to US$760.000."

Shank: "Well, I see your determination, but, there are easy ways to…"

Vanellope: "BuzzzTube videos, right? As much as we'd like to make videos, we are warned to not tire ourselves."

Ralph: "And, that BuzzzTube already gave us an Opportunity, via this game alone."

Shank: "Well, that's well played, I guess. Well, good luck with whatever you're doing then."

The rest goes as usual, where Ralph and Vanellope separate from one another. Ralph makes his own Slaughter Race videos while Vanellope makes hers. When they got Pop-Up Boards, they leave Slaughter Race and spread their recorded gameplay videos all across the internet. Vanellope visits OhMyDisney as usual, but instead of being chased by the Star Wars troops, she just puts an act. And she met Sora of Kingdom Hearts, where the two decide to play some Kingdom Hearts game rounds. After that, Vanellope has a little talk with Sora about her newfound dream to live in Slaughter Race.

Sora: "Well, good for you. But, take my advice. Are you sure you want to do this? What about your friends and family back at your old game?"

Vanellope: "But, I'm only one of fifteen racers, no one is going to miss me."

Sora: "Maybe the game characters won't, but what about your player-base? I'm sure they will be disappointed if you are no longer playable in your old game. Imagine playing a fighting game with over 50 fighters, and if you remove one fighter, or just remove an alternate color choice, everyone will in fact notice."

Vanellope: "So you're saying that, even if I leave, People will still notice?"

Sora: "Exactly. Look, I won't stop you from following your dream. But I'm only trying to tell you that you should reconsider the consequences before you make your decision. Nobody is influencing you, it's all on you, and you have to be wise to your decision."

Vanellope: "I see. I'll think about it. Thanks anyway."

Vanellope leaves OhMyDisney and returns to Slaughter Race to make another video to spread. This is when Vanellope got her Slaughter Race car, which is a Nissan Silvia Spec-R AERO S15. Ralph has made enough money in his BuzzzTube account, transferred it to his bank account, and got the Steering Wheel. And it's at this point when he tried to get contact Vanellope. With his phone on, he saw Vanellope and Shank at a hilltop.

Shank: "That area over there (Pointing to the neighborhood and a beach and a Mountain chain), that's Sequoia Coasts. It's still under development so we're forbidden to access there, but once the update is complete, the races there are gonna be insane. I'm talking about narrow roads, ramps, and more car upgrades along the way."

Vanellope: "Wow, that's gonna be awesome. But, i'd like to have a word with you."

Shank: "What is it?"

Vanellope: "Well, When Ralph and i first stepped in to this game, i started to feel like this is home."

Shank: "Hmm? Why is that?"

Vanellope: "I don't know, it's just that, this felt like i belong here more than Sugar Rush ever did. It's like my dream, you know? There's full bunch of weirdos, the racing is super cool and dangerous, you know what i mean. Because back home, i know everything that's gonna happen. Players are gonna play as me and use my glitch to hurl themselves to victory, saying that i'm the best racer in the Arcade and not everyone else. I knew this because Ralph's dream is to live the same thing everyday, well, he does have a point, Stick to the program and NEVER abandon your position. But..."

Shank: "Hmm... well, here's something I've learnt from the day this game was launched. Ever since then, one of those things I've learnt was that, not everyone has to have the same dream. And take it from me, While friends can change, the good ones get stronger because of change."

Vanellope: "Yeah, you're right. Thank you for being wise, Shank."

Shank: "You're welcome. When you get back home, tell everyone that you want to live your dream. I'm sure they'll understand. You'll always be welcome here."

Vanellope: "Well, that's the thing, Shank. I wanted this to be my normal. I can't go home because of this. This is like it's gonna be my new life. I can't return now and abandon my dream, i just can't."

This worries Ralph not because of his insecurities, because he wasn't insecure; instead, Ralph is worried that Vanellope may betray Shank and do something horrible to her and the new game, as well as abandoning her family and friends at the arcade, and he is fearful that if Vanellope makes a poor decision, History will repeat itself.

Spamley: "Well, that's truly heartbreaking. A literal kick in the face."

Ralph: "I can't believe it... She's supposed to stick to her duties."

Spamley and Gord: "Huh?"

Ralph: "I mean, back home, she has responsibilities for her game world. Its people need her. The Vanellope i know would never abandon her responsibilities. She knows better than that, ESPECIALLY AFTER..."

Spamley: "After what?"

Ralph: "Back home, she was bullied, treated like an outcast, all because of... I can't tell you, But if you want to know, come with me to Slaughter Race. Once i explained it to her, you'll understand."

Spamley: "But Ralph, why are you acting like a white knight?"

Ralph: "Look, Spamley, there's nothing wrong to living her dream and wanting to tell her family and friends to what she wants to do in her life. But if it puts everyone's life on the line... Spamley, Gord, i gotta stop her before history repeats itself."

Spamley: "Alright, let's go back to Slaughter Race."

Ralph goes back to Slaughter Race to meet Vanellope. Meanwhile in Slaughter Race, Vanellope is minding her own business while the Dark Titans are preparing their cars. Then, Vanellope noticed something.

Announcer: "HOT EVENTS ARE OPEN!"

Shank: "Hey, V, looks like there are hot events for you to join! You ready?"

Vanellope: "Um, yeah, i'm ready (Between glitching nervously while searching for a race event, specifically, HOT RACE EVENTS, which are symbolized by flaming Racing Flags)"

Shank: "Well, pick one, and don't be nervous, you'll win a lotta cash, and any of the races are gonna be great whether with us, or other Non player crews, or not."

Vanellope: "(chose an event called: Loot Rage) Yeah, i'm doing fine."

While waiting for the final preparations, Shank talks to Vanellope about the latter's problem.

Shank: "Hmm, you didn't tell Wreck-It Ralph, did you?"

Vanellope: "Well, not exactly."

Shank: "Argh, come on, V, he's your best friend, and your friends back at the arcade too will be worried, you gotta tell him and everyone that you wanna stay here for how long you want."

Vanellope: "Yeah, but what if he gets upset? I'm afraid that he's gonna get hurt so bad that he doesn't wanna be my friend anymore?"

Shank: "Look, all friendships change, but the good ones, they get stronger because of it, like i said in the hilltop."

Vanellope: "Okay."

Shank: "I'm not telling you what to do. It's your call."

Vanellope: "(gets a past memory voice that is similar)"

Sora (Past memory voice): "I'm only trying to tell you that you should reconsider the consequences before you make your decision. Nobody is influencing you, it's all on you, and you have to be wise to your decision."

Butcher Boy: "Shank, the events are about to start."

Shank: "Alright."

Vanellope nods in agreement. It's her next race. Vanellope races against other gamers and crew members in-between these races while Ralph rushes to Slaughter Race, before what he fears about history repeating itself becomes a reality. After several HOT EVENT races, Vanellope makes a video showcasing the game's world.

Vanellope: "Well, look at that, i've never seen such tall skyscrapers like those in my life. Oh oh oh, and look over there! A beautiful mountain with winding streets to race on! (Drives around the mountain) Oh, man, this is SO COOL! If only Sugar Rush has more tracks like these other than just Frosty Rally, it would be blasting, uh, i mean, in a GOOD WAY! (Drives back to the city, following a giant freight train, and into a peculiar building with a familiar figure made out of a statue) Hey look, that building over there has a statue that looks like Wreck-It Ralph! Wait... WRECK-IT RALPH?! (Suddenly stops her Silvia S15) (Suddenly starts to panic.) Uh, sorry, i really didn't mean it, oh GOD this one is foiled! I'm getting outta here THIS IS VANELLOPE SIGNING OFF! (Stops recording and starts driving and screaming) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (Drives away)"

Shank, the Dark Titans, and the other crews, hanging out at a plaza, witnessed Vanellope's Silvia S15 speeding away and Vanellope herself screaming in panic.

Shank: "Huh, Hey, V, where are you going? New events are open! V, WAIT FOR ME! (Runs towards her RX-7 FD3S and chases Vanellope)"

Felony: "Shank, what the hell are you doing?"

Pyro: "Boss, wait for us!"

Little Debbie: "Come on, guys, let's go after them!"

Butcher Boy: "You got it!"

Shank and the Dark Titans chase after Vanellope. The sugarcoated mint green racer drove in panic to the Game's entrance/exit Parking Lot, and jumped off the S15 and boards her Sugar Rush kart, and Exits Slaughter Race in distress, only to meet Ralph with a very worried face in him. Shank saw Vanellope all the way to the Internet and decides to eavesdrop.

Vanellope: "Ralph? What's going on?"

Ralph: "Kid, I'm worried... about you."

Vanellope: "Don't worry about me, Stinkbrain. I'll be fine."

Ralph: "No, it's not that…. (Sighs)"

Vanellope: "(Notices tears starting to come out of Ralph's eyes.) Ralph, please, tell me what's going on."

Ralph: "(Kneels to Vanellope, his sad expression is touching her heart...) Kid… no… Vanellope… please, be honest with me… You're not going TURBO are you?"

Ralph's words and him in despair causes Vanellope to suddenly have haunting Flashbacks about the time the Sugar Rush racers helped her become a racer, discovering Turbo during the time he ruined the Random Roster competition using a Giant out-of-place Truck, and the events of the movie that she and Ralph watched back when Niceland City opened up a new Cinema.

Vanellope: "(Haunted by these memories, screaming.) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (Falls down on her knees, her hands grasped on her chest and tears coming out of her eyes) Herrgh! Hrrgh… hrrgh… Ogh… ogh… Ralph… you were right…. What was I Thinking? I… I nearly made a horrible choice…"

Ralph: "It's okay, Kid, I'm just glad you haven't done something horrible."

Vanellope hugs Ralph, and starts to cry because she nearly made a horrible decision. Ralph, not wanting her to feel sad that her dream of being in Slaughter Race is wrecked by Cold Harsh Reality, decides to cheer her up.

Ralph: "And besides, I don't think you would want to be in this game, i don't know, as an established character or something, when you find out some utter nonsense that doesn't fit your code. In this game, established characters are bad guys like me, doomed to be thrown off the roof if they lose in races. (Vanellope starts to chuckle.) And you are programmed to be a playable avatar by gamers. And who's gonna be the Adorable winner if you're a bad guy? (Vanellope starts to giggle) Gamers should ALWAYS love you, because why?"

Vanellope: "Why?"

Ralph: "Because you're a winner."

Vanellope: "I'm a winner."

Ralph: "And you're adorable."

Vanellope: "I'm... (Quietly) Adorable..."

Ralph: "And everybody LOVES an Adorable Winner!"

Ralph and Vanellope share a hug together. Vanellope closed her eyes and embraced the hug, finally in peace with Ralph. Shank saw this, and thought it was heartwarming, and shocking to her, because no other video game good guys treat bad guys as good people. She was amazed to see that this giant bad guy is able to befriend a little star protagonist like Vanellope, and somehow, Shank is jealous.

Shank: "Whohw, I never knew someone would treat a video game bad guy as a person. So V, what's your final decision?"

Vanellope: "Well, I think I'll only be in Slaughter Race when I want to. Because I have my old home, Sugar Rush! I LOVE Sugar Rush and that should always be true to a Vanellope Von Schweetz! In fact, I'm not going to repeat History a SECOND Time!"

Shank: "Repeat History?"

Ralph: "She meant about a severe incident that hurt her back in the past."

Ralph told Shank the story of Going Turbo, and the negative consequences that this dangerous act will bring.

Shank: "Oh my god! That was horrible."

Ralph: "And that's why, I want her to be happy, as long as she still keeps her duty in her old game."

Shank: "Is that so?"

Ralph: "Yup. And besides, Slaughter Race was developed by Freedom Games, right? And since TobiKomi is a major Tech Company, it won't be a good idea if this kid here (Vanellope) gets added as an NPC without the programmers knowing. Imagine what would happen if some Lawsuit hits Slaughter Race because unwanted characters appear."

Vanellope: "It would totally suck, and even I know about Legal Copyrights regarding Video Game Intellectual Properties. I mean, i just wanna play by my own directions anyway!"

Shank: "Good idea, well, isn't that obvious? You and Ralph already are part of the game since you made both your game accounts so you don't have to worry (Shows both Ralph and Vanellope's Usernames). You basically coded yourselves into the game without violating the rules, and you don't have to worry about being a game antagonist when you guys are basically the game protagonists yourselves. Besides, being a Bad Guy sucks (Starts to frown)."

Ralph: "Whohw, lady, I never knew you also didn't enjoy being a Bad Guy. Trust me, I know."

Shank: "Huh?"

Ralph: "I used to be resented by my colleagues, who only think I'm just a bad guy who wrecks a building time over time, and that they should never judge me unless they know me better. Well, at least, until i had a talk about it, and they did treat me better from then on."

Shank: "But I don't get it, how could you be so nice to this little girl?"

Ralph: "Well, let's say, I got lucky. When I first met Vanellope, I honestly came with a weird expectation that she was just an annoying brat, but over time, I get to know her better. And that's what became of me."

Vanellope: "Wreck-It Ralph here, is the sweetest friend, no, Father I could ever ask for!"

Shank: "Father?"

Vanellope: "I never had a father until Ralph came. I was programmed as an orphaned princess… no… President of Sugar Rush, and a character by the name of King Candy, was originally meant to be my game's Bad Guy, I discovered this bit of knowledge from the Internet, but was dummied out by the programmers, which is how Turbo managed to get a hold of the King Candy character."

Shank: "Wow, you really are one tough cookie."

Ralph: "Hey, lady, why not come to Litwak's Family Fun Center and Arcade when you like? We got a Bad Guy Support Group who can help you out."

Shank: "I'd love to but… I can't…. Slaughter Race is an Online MMO Racing game, my crew has to always be active."

Vanellope: "That's very sad. (Holds Shank's hands) Hang in there, Shank, one game at a time."

Shank: "Thanks, kid…."

Vanellope: "Say, Ralph, what did you telephone me for?"

Ralph: "Well, we got the steering wheel for Sugar Rush! You can still go back home!"

Vanellope: "(Gasps in excitement.) REALLY?!"

Ralph: "Of course! It's going to be shipped to Litwak's tomorrow morning!"

Vanellope: "YIPPEE! I CAN FINALLY GO BACK HOME!"

Ralph and Vanellope celebrate their success, and the two embraced a hug, but suddenly…

Vanellope: "Wait a minute… Why stop there?!"

Ralph: "Well, what is it, kid?"

Vanellope: "Why stop at one steering wheel, when we can also buy another Sugar Rush Cabinet, No, Three! I found out that on other Arcades, Their Sugar Rush has 4 Seaters!"

Ralph: "Kid, that's a Fantastic idea!"

Shank: "Well, I never. You two can still go on your Money making spree!"

Ralph: "Thank you so much, young lady! Come on, Kid, we still have a lot of work to do!"

Vanellope: "Just make sure we don't burn out, like Mrs. Rhythm warned!"

Shank: "Well, I'll see you at the city, guys, I'll be waiting!"

Vanellope: "(Hops on to the Fresh Mint Cruiser) Watch out Slaughter Race!"

Ralph: "WE'RE GONNA WRECK IT!"

Ralph and Vanellope continue on to their Slaughter Race mission, to make more money, so that they can buy more Sugar Rush game cabinets. Once they got enough money in their bank account, they storm to eBay and found three 1997 Sugar Rush game cabinets for a 25% discount prize each: a total of US$45.000. And without making dumb auctions, the two friends immediately purchased the cabinet, and paid the fees in an instant. It's almost time to go home, as the arcade is about to open, and Ralph, Vanellope and Shank sat on a bench facing to the entrance of Slaughter Race.

Ralph: "Well, now that we got what we need, it's time to go back to the arcade."

Vanellope: "Yeah, you said it. To be honest, I kinda want to visit here again one day."

Ralph: "And, what's stopping you from taking your friends here, right?"

Vanellope: "Oh yeah, I forgot! Everyone back at the arcade should definitely try!"

Shank: "You guys do care for your friends, don't you?"

While waiting for an Internet Bus to take Ralph and Vanellope to an Internet Train station, Ralph, Vanellope, and Shank looked up at the Slaughter Race building. Vanellope found her dream game, but decided that it would be much more practical if she just goes in the game as her own gamer, and that no one would notice and assume her as a custom gamer avatar. But when no one's looking… Vanellope sets up both Ralph and Shank's hands to each other. The latter two were surprised by this, and as Felix describes it, the two game villains got the honeyglows, causing Vanellope to also tease the two game villains that they are fit for one another like Felix and Tamora.

When the bus arrived, Ralph and Vanellope drive into the giant bus, waving a "farewell" to Shank and her crew. When the two of them return to the Arcade, Ralph and Vanellope are greeted warmly by the other game characters, after the two told them that Sugar Rush is going back full power with not only the replacement steering wheel, but also the additional cabinets. When Mr. Litwak received these gifts, he got a message that convinces him. The message says: "To Mr. Litwak, Thank you for making our kids happy, and we want to repay your kindness with these gifts: a Sugar Rush Steering Wheel, and three additional 1997 Sugar Rush Cabinets. We hope you can put them to good use, Love, your loyal patrons."

Fast Forward to 2017, Sugar Rush is reaching its 20th Anniversary. The company, TobiKomi is making a new Sugar Rush game, which is Sugar Rush Super Speedway. The reason that the Vanellope Ralph knew is still the same Vanellope even though the old 1997 cabinets are gone by the time the new Sugar Rush game is set for launch, is because when some TobiKomi employees arrive at Litwak's, they took the old cabinets away with the characters still inside the game. Of course, this is to make the new game backwards compatible, and that the 1997 quad-cabinets at Litwak's are luckily the last cabinets available, since all the other Sugar Rush cabinets in the world are gone and out of order.

Vanellope told the arcade game characters that she and her friends will leave Litwak's along with the Sugar Rush game. Ralph knows that the only way to make her happy is to let her make the right choice. Ralph says his final goodbye to his little friend, and promises to move on. The Sugar Rush NPCs stayed in Game Central Station because they are paranoid about an Unplugging, but the Racers were not. Some tried to convince Vanellope and the racers to stay (So that maybe some Fun-Twin troubles or new racers instead), while some others respected the racers' right to be unplugged. Ralph told the Arcade characters that everyone has to respect one's decisions.

Vanellope: "(Hugs Ralph) I love you so much, Dad... i'm going to miss you..."

Ralph: "Me too, kid, well, i guess this is our last goodbye..."

The racers board the last train to Sugar Rush, and as the train arrived, Vanellope drives her kart back to the portal to the wire "one last time", looking at her adoptive father. As she puts her hands on the barrier, she waves goodbye to everyone, in a sorrowful yet sweet smile. As Sugar Rush is fully unplugged, Vanellope and her kart fade to white, disappearing into the heavenly sky.

What the arcade characters didn't know is that the old Sugar Rush cabinets' codes are to be engineered into the new system, meaning Vanellope and her friends can safely be transported to the new Sugar Rush game without any problems, because the Source Code is still around, and that as stated earlier, the new Sugar Rush game is Backwards-Compatible to the original 1997 release. This is because last night before the game cabinets were unplugged, Vanellope overheard everything that the TobiKomi employees told Mr. Litwak about re-engineering Sugar Rush, which is why she decided to take the risk of being unplugged.

A few days later, the employees and the Sugar Rush cabinets arrived at Tobikomi Headquarters and Flagship Factory in Nagoya.

Kazuma Miyamoto: "We got the cabinets! Get ready for Operation Sugar Overhaul!"

Workers: "AYE-AYE CAPTAIN!"

Naomi Sakura: "QUICK, PLUG THE GAME IN!"

The four Sugar Rush Speedway Cabinets are plugged in to the Transfer system. With this done, inside the game, spirit like entities who are the characters and their karts are collected into one giant pod, taken away from the old game, which was placed next to the new Sugar Rush Super Speedway Quad Cabinets which are part of the new Sugar Rush Game TobiKomi had been working on, which has been kept as a secret. Naomi Sakura then checks over all of the data in the old Litwak's Sugar Rush, and found something wrong with Vanellope.

Naomi Sakura: "Oh no, Vanellope, what happened to you?"

Shinji Hiramoto: "Sakura-San, is something wrong?"

Fumihide Morimoto: "What's going on here?"

Naomi Sakura: "The rumors are true. The Vanellope from Litwak's was cursed! We gotta cure her!"

Tsubasa Masuyama: "Cure her?"

Naomi Sakura: "She's a glitch, a Virus! She's not supposed to be one!"

Kazuma Miyamoto: "But Sakura-San, what about the players? They love Vanellope's Superpower, from what i can tell."

Fumihide Morimoto: "If anything, just tweak her supposed disability into something! Or better yet, give every other racer their own Superpowers!"

Naomi Sakura: "Hmmmm. Superpowers? You know what, i'm going to kill THREE birds with one stone! I say we Fix Vanellope from being this vulgar glitch, Upgrade her by giving her a new Superpower, AND Give Everyone Superpowers too! And seeing that only the racers are the characters who remain, we don't need to make new ones, just the Candy NPCs..."

Shinji Hiramoto: "Now that's the Naomi Sakura i know!"

Fumihide Morimoto: "Let's get to work, guys!"

Naomi Sakura: "And let's add those 15 additional tracks!"

And that's how, Vanellope got her Sugar Nitro and everyone got their superpowers. About a month later, when the new Sugar Rush Super Speedway Quad-cabinets are plugged in… Ralph was happy to see the cabinets, they are EXTREMELY Modern, and have a domineering color of Blue with Pink, Magenta, and Purple as the Secondary colors, with Mint Turquoise and Yellow as Tertiary colors, but Ralph was still skeptical to the idea that the new Vanellope may not be the one he knew.

Ralph: "Well, everyone, I can safely bet that this Vanellope isn't the one we…"

?: "RALPH!"

Felix: "Wait, this Vanellope knows your name, brother!"

Ralph: "Oh yeah, I could hear it too, but…."

?: "RALPH!"

Tamora: "There it is again! And look, she's coming!"

Shank: "And that's the same kart we're all familiar with!"

Vanellope: "(Drives into GCS.) RAAAALPH!"

Ralph: "Kid!"

Vanellope stops her kart at GCS, and she and Ralph run to one another, and they share a hug, with everyone struck in "awwwwww" at the odd Family. And shortly afterwards, the other Fourteen racers ran to Felix and Tamora, Ryu and Chun Li, Yuni, and Terry and Blue Mary (Fatal Fury + King of Fighters), also hugging their respective adoptive parents.

Ralph: "Oh my, thank GOD you're all okay!"

Shank: "I thought I lost you!"

Vanellope: "Mom, Dad, I missed you so much!"

Felix: "Oh, my, KIDS! I'm so glad I can see you guys again!"

Terry: "We thought we lost you guys for good!"

Taffyta, Candlehead, Rancis, and Crumbelina: "We missed you, pops!"

Tamora: "Welcome back, soldiers!"

Ralph: "But I don't get it, how did you guys still remember even though you all came from new ones?"

Shank, Felix and Tamora: "Oh yeah, we are now curious with that!"

Vanellope: "(Giggles.) Oh, Ralph, don't be afraid. You see…. The developers actually incorporated all of our codes from the original cabinets into the new ones. And remember, that we just went through an Overhaul. Oh, and the best part, I'm not glitching anymore! And you won't believe what the developers did!"

Ralph: "What is it?"

Vanellope: "I'm not the ONLY one who's got a Superpower, All the racers have their own Superpowers!"

Felix: "Well, I thank GOD for that!"

Jubileena, Citrusella, Gloyd, and Snowanna: "We missed you all!"

Chun Li: "Everyone missed you all too!"

Adorbeezle, Nougetsia, and Swizzle: "It's good to be back!"

Blue Mary (FF+KOF): "It sure is!"

M. Zaki, Sticky, and Torvald: "We can't wait to show you around our new game!"

Yuni: "Alright, kids, settle down, we will check out the game together."

Zangief: "Hahaha, looks like the whole gang is here!"

Bowser: "Yeah! And we're a happy family again!"

Arle: "All's well that ends well."

Vanellope: "You can say that again! Oh, and we got a newcomer!"

Sonic: "A newcomer?"

M. Zaki: "She's my cousin!"

Everyone (Except the Sugar Rush racers): "COUSIN?!"

Vanellope: "Which is why I invite ALL of you guys to Sugar Rush Super Speedway's First ever Random Roster Race!"

All the characters cheer for the Random Roster Race to keep going, which is the main gimmick of Sugar Rush as an Arcade game. And of course…

M. Bison: "Place your bets everyone! Place your bets, and top 9 choice wins grant you Bragging Rights!"

Ralph: "(Chuckles) here we go again."

Felix: "Hey, Ralph, don't you wanna bet for one of these kids?"

Ralph: "Nah, I'll stick to my words. Just watch the race, and call it a day."

Tamora: "Alright, Wreck-It, suit yourself. Hey, Fix-It, you know who to bet for, right?"

Felix: "Oh yes I do, Tammy, yes i do."

Felix and Tamora: "RANCIS FLUGGERBUTTER!"

Sonic, Tails, Arle, AiAi, NiGHTS, and B.D. Joe: "TAFFYTA MUTTONFUDGE!"

Scorpion, Ryu, and Terry Bogard: "Crumbelina Di Caramello!"

Sub Zero, Ken, and Kyo Kusanagi: "Adorabeezle Winterpop"

Zangief and M. Bison: "Citrusella Flugpucker!"

Load Ran and Time Buttermitt: "Jubileena Bing-Bing!"

Kano, Raiden, Liu Kang and Sub Zero: "Candlehead!"

?, ?, ?, and Shank: "VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ!"

Everyone was shocked to hear Vanellope's name called by four bidders, and Ralph saw who they are. They are none other than Shank, Link, Kirby, and a fairy princess: Lip from Panel de Pon. In Sugar Rush's Absence, three new Arcade game cabinets are installed: The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors the Arcade, Kirby's Arcade Land, and Panel de Pon: The Arcade Game. But out of all the characters, one certain red plumber in red was absent from the crowd, but that's a story for another time.

Vanellope remains to live in the Arcade for the rest of her life, while making visits to the Internet on Weekend Nights. She also brings her friends to see Slaughter Race for some ideas. Ralph also takes the Bad-Anon group to visit Slaughter Race, so that Shank and her Crew can be new members of the Bad-Anon family, because, Nothing is stopping Ralph and Vanellope to take their friends to visit new frontiers.

-End of Flashback-

Ralph and Vanellope are now in Slaughter Race, making BuzzzTube gaming videos. Now, they drive some peculiar vehicles. Vanellope's Nissan Silvia Spec-R S15 has a Broad variety of Modifications from Body Kits to Weapons, and Ralph's 18-Wheeler Truck was swapped for an 8-Axle 30-Wheeler Double Trailer One. After a couple of races and uploading their videos, the three had a talk together.

Shank: "You guys did great! I didn't know you managed to beat the competition from Players and Us out there. I gotta say, i think we're missing something that you two have."

Ralph: "Well, it's not a big deal."

Vanellope: "Yeah. And Co-operation is the key to success anyway."

Shank: "So, what do you guys want to talk about?"

Ralph: "It's about a kid named Arthur."

Shank: "What about?"

Vanellope: "He's new to my game, and he started out devastated over the death of his senior schoolmate, Heather, as in, the Hell-Defiler."

Shank: "The Hell-Defiler? I know her. Her brother, Jackson plays Slaughter Race. What happened to Heather anyway?"

Vanellope told Shank what Arthur told Mr. Litwak about Heather's death. Shank was horrified with the news.

Shank: "Oh my goodness. Some non-gamers are just born mean."

Vanellope: "This is why I just wanted to make him feel better. But since Video Game characters cannot go to the Outside World since that can kill them, I have no idea what to do."

Ralph: "Well, just be there for him."

Shank: "Because a wise man (Ralph) once told me, that the only way to make gamers who had terrible lives feel better, is to make sure that an Adorable Winner is on their side, no matter what."

Vanellope: "Thanks, guys."

Ralph: "You're welcome, kid. Say, Shank, I'm hosting another Bad-Anon meeting this Sunday, and I was wondering if we could do it at your game again."

Shank: "Yeah, of course I can. The usual spot?"

Ralph: "Your garage."

Vanellope: "Count me in!"

Shank: "Whohw, kid, I thought you were a good guy?"

Vanellope: "Um, you do realize I once told you I used to be treated as a bad guy, right?"

Shank: "Oh, I thought you were joking."

Ralph: "She used to be an outcast like I do, so she wasn't joking."

Shank: "Oh, I see."

Ralph: "Well, we gotta go back to the Arcade now."

Vanellope: "See you tomorrow, Shank!"

And with that, Ralph and Vanellope went back to the Arcade to get some sleep. In the Human world, Arthur just got home, and his family comforted him about Heather's Death. And his parents will make sure that Arthur would never undergo another heart-wrenching experience like that ever again.

To be continued...

Author's Note:

So, i'm making this RBTI/WiR2RWTI Flashback to justify Vanellope's Status. Here, she decides to Double the stake and use Slaughter Race and BuzzzTube to not only get one Sugar Rush steering wheel, but also a replacement Cabinet. And that it would be much better if Vanellope goes Back and Forth when the Arcade Closes. Also, Ralph can host the Bad-Anon at Slaughter Race. Also, Shank is Slaughter Race's Bad Guy. And i took jayskeletyn's advice for names: Spamford Spamley S. Bot, Mrs. Algo Rhythm, and Mr. Poly Rhythm (Instead of J.P. Spamley, Yesss, and MayBe). And also, this story in particular takes place in 2017.

I'd really like to make my own Alternate "Ralph Wrecks the Internet" Climax. And I have planted my idea about that. Since this one doesn't involve a Toxic friendship insecurity based virus that wrecks the internet, it's gonna be what i dubbed: "The Ultimate Slaughter Race", which is going to be the race that would instantly give Ralph and Vanellope the Surplus they need to double the stakes to get the additional Sugar Rush cabinets Vanellope Eureka'ed herself to Ralph about. And YES, i might make a Fanfiction to how the characters in My A.U. series react to their portrayal in the movies.
