I'll try and update my story more regularly from now on. I'll see you at the end of this chapter!

Chapter 2

RJ

"HEY! HEY! SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, IF YA ARE LISTENIN', GET ME OUTA 'TIS THING! NOW! ! ! ! !"

I yell and bang my hand repeatedly against the inner wall of the capsule, hoping desperately that someone will somehow notice me and my actions, and stop this crazy thing I'm currently trapped in. But no matter how hard I shout, how hard I bang my hand, the capsule continues moving, gliding smoothly down the dark tunnel.

I should have taken my sledgehammer, the one I used specifically during gameplay, along with me for my trip. But then again, I never took it out during my off-hours; so, holding an oversized hammer around the arcade after work would surely raise eyebrows among characters, and would be definite red flag to my brother on what I'm about to do next.

I can't let him know where I'm currently going. Not now, at least.

"HEY! GET ME OUT OF HERE! NOW! ! !" I call once more, but it is no use: it seems like no one has heard me, and my hands, without Ralph's wrecking powers, are no match for the walls of the capsule. To put it simply: there's no way I'm gonna get out of this capsule on my own.

I sigh and slowly lower my hand, the capsule still travelling as fast as ever down the dark tunnel, transporting me to goodness-knows-where. "Ralph's gonna kill me, Ralph's gonna kill me…" I mutter under my breath as I shoot out of the tunnel into a blinding white space. I yelp and squeeze my eyes shut, not wanting to see what's in store for me.

When I open them again, I gasp.

For I am no longer travelling down a tunnel, or in a blinding white space, but am instead looking over a vast, futuristic city, glowing a sparkling blue, that seems to stretch on endlessly. Row upon row of skyscrapers sweep down below me, all different in shape and size. Some have writing on top of them, some glow with bright lights, some resemble objects like trees or oversized domes. Far below me, I see tiny characters, some walking around, some in fast-moving vehicles, some entering one of the many, many buildings in the city. Looking outside, I see a few similar-sized capsules, all in different colors though, zoom up, down, and all around me. The whole area is teaming with action, energy, and movement, never stopping for a second or more.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Just then, my capsule jerks downward along with a few other capsules, zipping towards the ground at top speed. I yelp in fright and slam my hands tightly against the inner walls of the capsule, surprised that apart from me no one else is screaming at the sudden movement.

Right after that, I start a fast descend into a place similar to the football arena down one of the games back home. Banners hang upon walls, some with writing on them, some depicting various pictures. Everything seems so new; yet at the same time, so familiar…

Soon, my capsule slows to a stop, and then it suddenly vanishes, dropping me onto the ground. My prosthetic leg gives away and I collapse, bottom first. "Ow…" I mutter, reaching down and adjusting my prosthetic as I continue to glance around the world I am in. All around me, the other characters slowly arrive, landing smoothly before silently filing out one of the many exits located around the circular space I am in.

"I don't think I'm in Litwak's anymore…" I say as I stand, turning and looking around. A crowd of characters start walking towards one of the exits, and I follow them to a balcony. There, I gaze over the railing, the very same city which I just flown over spread out under me, still shining as bright as ever.

"Holy Stars…" I mutter, looking around again, my body flickering with excitement.

So this is the Internet.

As I gaze over the railing, I am absolutely awestruck by everything I see. Sure, I've been to many games which had a futuristic setting, where cities with impossible structures rose from the ground, skyscrapers touched twisted and touched the skies, and characters walked around with shiny devices around their necks. Sure, I've been to those places before, but they're no match to what I am now seeing.

"Wow, where have I've been all 'tis time?" I gasp again, running my hand through my hair, amazed at the fact that I never discovered this place before my arrival.

Looking from such a height, I can finally realize why it took a long time for Ralph to return from the Internet: this world is so big, so vast, it's so easy to get lost in there! I gulp, nervous to see the Internet in all its entirety. No matter where I turn my head, I never manage to see the end of the Internet, even a trace of where this world finishes.

It's gonna take me, like forever, to go and explore every inch of this place…

Wait.

Where do I wanna go?

Out of the corner of my eye, I see a blocky-headed character—a female, judging by the looks of it, come down the same way as I did just now. "Hey!" I call, waving my hands to catch her attention, but she doesn't respond. Instead, she turns and heads straight to a grand-looking structure with tall pillars where a short, purple, egg-shaped character with glasses and a graduation cap is standing behind a counter.

"Hmm…'SearchBar—Powered by KnowsMore'…" I say aloud, reading the words that are plastered upon the structure. I look over at the female character again, and see that she has already reached the structure, where the purple character excitedly hops over to her. Despite the fact she didn't respond to my call, I decide to follow her, and glitch over to the SearchBar.

I reach the counter just as the female character swiped and clicked on one of the pictures appearing on the screen in front of her, and a small car-like pod forms around her. "Redirecting to BuzzzTube." A voice overhead reads out, and the character's pod zips away from the SearchBar, up and away to BuzzzTube I assume. Another character with the same blocky head is in front of me, and the entire process repeats again until he slips away in the same fashion and it is my turn.

The purple character sighs as the character in front of me leaves, but his face brightens as he catches sight of me. "Oh hello, sir!" He looks down and flips a couple of pages on the thick, heavy book in front of him. "It seems like you don't have a search history yet. Well, let's start one up for you. What can KnowsMore help you find today?"

"Um…" I start, tapping my chin, unsure of where I really wanted to go: there's just so much for me to explore!

"Umbrella?" I look down at KnowsMore as he speaks again "Umbrage? Uma?"

"Well…" I start again, but I get cut off again.

"Welcome? Wellbeing? Wellington boots?" KnowsMore asks me excitedly.

"I-" I try to continue, but I'm interrupted a third time.

"iPhone? Ikea? IceWrecker? I love you?"

It seems like this dude's trying to guess my every sentence! I decide to put an end to this.

"Ya know what, Wise-Guy?" I say, leaning and slamming a hand on the counter, narrowing my eyes as I do so, "I'm just…gonna have a look around. Ya know, take a look at everythin', wander here n' there, nothin' special. Just…uh…throw me to a random result, and-"

"Wait a minute!" KnowsMore interrupts, and then he hops up to take a closer look at me. when he does, he gasps, and beckons me to lean closer. "Is this your first time here, sir?"

"Uh…" I trail off, uncertain by how I should reply. But since I remember that he knew that I don't have a previous search history, he's bound to know sooner or later. And so, I nod, "Yup, that's right."

"Isn't that interesting? Now listen: where are you from?" He asks in a hushed voice.

I stumble back a bit, surprised by this somewhat personal question. "Why…do ya wanna know?" I ask, letting the words roll slowly out.

"Just to be on the safe side, sir." Knowsmore replies. "You know, it's because you look kinda…familiar."

"But I just said that 'tis is my first time here! Ya asked it yerself!" I hurl back. Unbelievable! Does this guy think I'm stupid or what?!

"Calm down, calm down." KnowsMore backs slightly away from me, as if afraid of what I might do to him next. "I just said that I thought you looked familiar, but that doesn't mean that I've seen you before. Not to mention that I really haven't seen you before."

"Fair enough." I mutter, scowling. Maybe I shouldn't have followed that female character to this place: the Internet's so big, there's bound to be another place that I can find where I want to go! There's bound to be!

KnowsMore looks up at me with expectation, so I quickly give him what he really wanted. "Uh…Litwak's Family Fun Center, Los Aburridos, California, I believe?" I try to recall: I can't really remember the exact state where my arcade is in.

"That's enough." KnowsMore says, tapping his chin "And, no. Oh my…You're not…you're not actually related to him…"

"To whom?"

KnowsMore is whispering now. "You're not in any way…related to a certain…Wreck-it Ralph, right?" He inquires me.

My eyes widen. "How?" I gawk out "How…how did ya know?!"

"Your hair, your facial features, your scowl: they all give it away. Your home address further confirms it." KnowsMore says, pointing "I tend to be quite observational when it comes to my customers, not to mention he's an actual customer of mine." He looks up at me, my mouth still gaping open, and then continues "You're really related to him, right?"

"Yeah, he's my older brother." I say. Technically, he is my original that was somehow kind enough to adopt his recolored, glitchy clone to be his official brother, but I'd thought it'll be better if I spared the details.

"Oh really? Pleasure to meet his younger brother." KnowsMore pips up excitedly, reaching out his hand, in which I shake back in return "I'd thought that Ralph would come along with you for the ride here, but I guess that it's pretty normal that he's not coming back here yet. After all, it hasn't been long since that particular incident happened…"

"Wait. What…what incident?" I ask, releasing my hand.

This time it is KnowsMore's jaw that is hanging open. "You mean he didn't tell you? He didn't?"

"Um, sir, what are ya talkin' 'bout?" I ask, really confused. None of this makes sense, none of it!

"Don't you know what happened the last time when Wreck-it Ralph came onto the Internet? Didn't he tell you?" He asks me, his voice slightly laced with sympathy.

I rack my head for memories, and then shake my head. Nope, he hadn't.

It is true: apart from the fact that Ralph went onto the Internet with Vanellope and successfully returned with a replacement wheel for Sugar Rush, and that Vanellope decided not to return to the arcade, Ralph really haven't told me anything about his trip. Every time I tried to enquire him about certain events related to his journey, he just shrugged it off and changed the subject, even avoiding me at times because of this topic…

As if there really was something he really wasn't ready to tell me about.

"He very nearly broke the Internet: literally." KnowsMore finishes, looking up at me.

What?!

"Come on." I say, not believing what KnowsMore just said, "Ralph's a wrecker, he's got that superhuman strength, that I know for sure. But 'tis world…'tis world is so big, so vast. It goes on and on and on for, like, forever. He's just one guy, how could he able to accomplish 'tis?"

"I know you won't believe me, but it is true: I've experienced it myself. And if you still don't believe me, here, I'll search it for you." KnowsMore clears his throat, and then reads out a search enquiry "'Wreck-it Ralph Virus Internet Crash'."

"Pffft." I scoff, rolling my eyes "Now yer definitely makin' that up. There's no way my brother would…" I trail off, as KnowsMore is now pointing to the screen in front of me, where a 'SEARCH' button is hovering. Hesitantly, I place my hand upon the button, and KnowsMore jerks up in front of me. I gasp and quickly withdraw my hand, concerned as what is happening to him. But a moment later, he quickly settles down, his cap slightly disheveled.

"It's okay, sir, happens all the time" He reassures me as he tips his cap back to its original place. Then he brushes up his shirt and reads out in a formal tone. "I've found over 300 results for 'Wreck-it Ralph Virus Internet Crash'." He waves his hand at the screen in front of me as the results start to appear.

Wait…

Wait what?!

"Ya mean…ya mean that this so-called 'Internet Crash' really happened? It really did?" I run a hand through my hair in disbelief, not believing the search results that continuously pop up in front of me.

"Well, the truth speaks for itself, right sir?" KnowsMore asks me back.

"So 'tis is true…" I mutter, going over the search results myself. I run my hand over the screen, flipping over the pictures and looking at all the results that popped up. Most of them are from wiki sites and news pages, appearing in languages that I cannot decipher. They keep on coming, on and on, appearing even after I swiped most of the first results away.

"I don't…I don't understand." I stammer, looking up at KnowsMore with uncertainty. "What…what happened? What did Ralph do?"

"I think you might want to find that out yourself; you're his younger brother, right?" KnowsMore replies, waving his hands at the screen again, "Oh, and by the way, sir. I think you might want to pull up your hood. Better not to draw attention because of your background."

"Got it." I say, reaching back and pulling my jacket hood up over my head, feeling my hair tickling roughly against my face before turning back to the search results. One of them catches my eye, and I peer closer at it. It seems to be leading me to a local news website. Hmm, that seems trustworthy enough… I think, clicking on it.

Immediately after I do so, a pod, the same one that the female character left with earlier, forms around me. "Redirecting to WeeklyNews." A voice reads up from above me, and I know that my pod will be leaving the SearchBar soon.

I wave my hand back at KnowsMore, just as my pod starts to pull away from the grand structure, sending me up and away towards my desired webpage, and hopefully, my answers to my burning questions.

What did you do, Ralph? What DID you do?!

A/N: Okay, so those of you observant in the story, will realize something...familiar in KnowsMore's search results.

Yup, I just did a self-insert for fun. XD

For those of you don't get it, look at my username, and then at the search results again. You'll know it when you see it...

Till then, Ariel out! :D
