I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY EXCEPT ON WITH THE STORY AND REVIEW.

I do not own Wreck It Ralph or any of the video games mentioned.

STRATEGY GUIDE TO A NEW LIFE

Alpha peeked over the counter and saw many arcade games enter the Game Central. He also noticed the names of the arcade games that appeared over the terminals such as Time Crisis 2, Lost World Jurassic Park, Mocap Boxing, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Mario Kart Arcade GP, House of the Dead 2, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, Area 51, Guitar Hero, and Star Wars Racing. It seemed Alpha was in the higher costly arcade gaming area. What also caught Alpha's attention was that over the terminal for the surge protector cord lead to another surge protector.

Alpha was not about to be seen by anyone yet. He quickly observed each arcade character until he spotted a heavily armor covered soldier from Time Crisis 2, "His suit would be perfect to sneak around in" thought Alpha. He may have lost his high skills of stealth but that didn't mean he didn't remember how to blend in, thanks to playing in MGS3 Snake Eater.

Alpha whistled over to the soldier and got his attention to see a dark figure calling him over. Curious, he walked over to look over the counter and suddenly get pulled over and knocked out. Thankfully being these arcade games first time out in a new surge protector, they were too busy exploring and getting to know what games they are close by to notice the soldier being mugged.

Alpha wasted no time in taking his armored suit and leaving him behind the desk counter in his under cloths, "Sorry bub, but I need to borrow this for a while," Alpha half apologized to the unconscious soldier. The suit was a bit stuffy and hard to move in, but he didn't care as long as he could move around. Besides, the suit also included a side arm and a rifle. Alpha needed to find someone who could try to help him out in his condition. From the looks of it, every game here looked new and wouldn't give him any help with anything.

But the Alpha noticed above the surge protector's main cord was a sign that said it connected to another surge protector. Alpha knew the perk of gamer luck was on his side. He started to make his way to the cord until a large terminal train pulled up and a vast crowd of gamers came out to greet the new plugged in arcade games.

Alpha pressed himself against the wall to try to avoid anyone finding out who he was, especially some goody 8-bit shoes good guy. Alpha made himself as inconspicuous as possible until he thought the path was clear to head for the train.

Alpha misjudged his luck and crashed right into a tall round villain. Alpha froze to see that the villain he knocked over was Dr. Eggman.

"You clumsy oaf! Why don't you watch wear you're going!?" Eggman shouted at Alpha.

Alpha then came to a conclusion that Eggmen may have been here for a long time and will know what to do to help him in his predicament. "Shut up and get in the train!" Alpha quickly said before shoving Eggmen into the train and taking off.

Eggman was now infuriated, "You stupid, numbskull of a jar headed soldier! What is the meaning of this!?" he demanded as he rose to his full height.

"Cool it devil egg, I need your help," said Alpha.

"How dare you call me that! I am the greatest evil mind of my game and can easily destroy you!" He threatened Alpha.

Alpha was getting tired with his boasting of how everyone is feeble to him attitude, "Yeah and that is why you are always beaten by little furry animals," Alpha deadpanned. Eggmen started stuttering at the comment with nothing to retort with, "Look I need you to help me out find a way to get back to my game."

Eggman crossed his arms, "You idiot, just go back to the terminal you came from."

"I didn't come from these terminals you fat Easter egg! I came from a PS3!" Alpha shouted.

Eggman was shocked a bit to hear him declare that, but shook his head in disbelief, "HA! ha!ha! You fool, why would you think that I would believe in propaganda like that?"

Alpha sighed. He knew he would have to show him if he were to get anywhere. Alpha then unclipped his helmet and revealed his silhouette head. Eggman jumped back in astonishment and amazement at what he was seeing, "Don't ask," Alpha said, "it's a long story," he placed the helmet back on.

"Incredible!" Exclaimed Eggman, "then my theories where correct."

"What theories?" Alpha asked confused.

The train then stopped at the end of the other terminal, "Come with me to my game, I need to run a test."

Alpha knew what kind of man Eggman was and knew he was scheming something as he spoke those words, "What are you scheming Eggman?" Alpha asked skeptically.

Eggman fake a hurt expression, "Scheming? Why would you think I would be scheming anything?"

Alpha crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, "Wikipedia," Alpha simply said. Eggman's face faltered, "A website on a computer with access to the internet. We are able to access it cuz our console's plug and PC's plug were in the same surge protector. I know everything about you and your way of thinking. Hell you don't even want to hear about your character in Sonic Generation X."

Eggman then looked at Alpha seriously, "Come quickly, I need to test a another theory of mine."

Eggman pulled Alpha to keep up with him to his game. The took the terminal train down to the Sonic arcade world of Mobius. Now Eggman stood on the other side of the gateway to the game as Alpha stood in the terminal. Alpha was still a little weary on what Eggman was planning.

"It's alright, just step into the game," Eggman promised.

Alpha took a deep breath and held it as he took his first step into the game. Soon he felt the data that he still kept on him fly off and around him as glowing pixels started to form around him, "Hey! What have you done to me!?" Alpha accused.

Then Alpha was incased in a glowing ball until it disappeared instantly and revealing what Eggman predicted. He then raised his arms up in victory, "I KNEW IT! HA! HA! HA!" he busted out congratulating himself.

Alpha did feel anything wrong after the event, but demanded an answer, "Knew what? What happened?"

Eggman brought out a small mirror and gave it to Alpha, "Look for yourself."

Alpha took the mirror and saw what had happened. He had all his features for Dragon Dogma, but resembled an animal of some sort, "What did you do to me!?" Alpha demanded.

Eggman put his hands up to calm Alpha down, "Wait, there might be more to my theory. Were you a custom made character?" He asked. Alpha nodded, "Then think of this as a customization window. But be careful, the choices you choose may be permanent."

Alpha thought for a while about this. He knew the characters of Sonic were animals so he would have to pick what animal he wanted to be. Since his name was Alpha, the first thing that came to mind was a Wolf and sure enough after choosing, he was instantly changed into a wolf character of the Sonic world. He resembled Tails a bit except for the color of his fur and fur itself being more fluffier his back and chest. He had some what of a slicked back hair style on the top of his head. He also wore the trademark gloves and a pair of hunting boots since wolves were natural hunters.

Eggman clapped his hands together, "Excellent!"

Alpha had enough of being tested out and being left in the dark, "Okay you had your fun egg shell now tell me what is happening."

After Eggman brought Alpha to his fortress and computer room where he displayed all his research.

"For many years after being plugged in, many thought that arcade game programs were the only ones to exist as we do today," he started, "Because the theory was that game consoles were always being unplugged and didn't have back up generators in their house environment to survive a blackout. But then I heard a group of kids when they were talking about memory cards and then hard drives in game consoles. Saving data that is securely stored from being erased when the plug was pulled. I began a theory that their may have been actual programs living in those home gaming consoles as we live in ours. But without real proof of an actual live being from those consoles my work was inconclusive and all those who heard my theory rejected it as a myth."

Alpha raised an brow in guessing the result in his appearance here, "And that theory is now proven because of me?" he asked.

"Yes!" Eggman cheered, "They all thought I was crazy and a fool, but who is the fool now? WHO IS THE FOOL NOW!"

Alpha covered his ears, "Cool down ya hard boiled egg. So what does this mean for me?"

Egg man pointed to Alpha, "That data that flew off from you, was it from your PS3?"

"Uh, yeah?" Alpha said not fully knowing what was being asked.

"And that data is transferable correct?" Eggman asked again.

"Yeah, we are able to take it with us to the internet to update and upload certain content from the PC to enhance our programming." Alpha answered.

Eggman sat back in his chair with his hands in front of him touching the tips of his fingers together in thought, "And you lost all your games experience and skills along with your custom character features."

Alpha gave a confused look still not knowing what this all meant, "Uh, yeah. Why is this important?"

Eggman rose and began pacing around Alpha, "I believe that since you are now broken from the contact of your origin program that your data reset itself, but still has remnants of your past data locked inside you of what you were and what you looked like. That is why you seem to look like you do with your features. Those are your features from before right?" Alpha nodded, "Then this only means you are able to use your data file to create your own personal file in what ever game you enter, but this will end when you leave the game world and in the terminal."

Alpha felt a bit of dread, "So this means I will go back into silhouette mode again?"

Eggman contemplated this for a while, "Or there is a slight chance that you will carry that feature image in your data as you leave with it and are able to soon change game images as you move from game to game."

This brought great excitement to Alpha, "So you're saying that I have to power to shape shift?!"

Eggmen nodded, "That or you may very well burst and cease to exist."

Alpha was silent for a moment, "AWESOME! I'm going to be a shape shifter!" Eggman just laughed at Alpha's enthusiasm. "I'm going to be the first home console game program to become part of many arcade games! I'll be countless characters, but still the same character, I'm gonna be villains and heroes, I'll be able to come out as a great hero or die in an epic battle to return to do it all…"

Eggman interrupted Alpha, "I would advise against that," Alpha gave a grave expression on what was going to be said as he heard Eggman's tone turn serious and troubling, "Even though your data is always with you, your data was partly damaged and you are separated from the life source of your game," both fell deadly silent, "You most likely won't respawn anywhere you go."

Alpha took it like a blow to the face, but still was able to find the humor in it again, "Well then I guess I'll just have to play on easy difficulty."

Eggman chuckled to Alpha's sense of humor, "You are one strange program."

"You are one strange villain, but then again, you don't fight giant monsters constantly on a daily basis," Wolf retorted jokingly.

Both laugh for a while and Alpha gets up to leave. He stops at the door, "You wouldn't happen to know of a way that I can get back home?"

Eggman lowers his head in hopelessness, "No," Alpha smiles trying to hide his disappointment, "The only way back is if Mr. Litwak brought you back the way he took you."

Alpha took a moment to let it sink in until he shrugged and said, "Well I better find a nice peacrul game to make my home."

"Well there is the game Fix It Felix Jr. It has a junk yard full of bricks that you could make a house with." Eggman suggested.

"Nothing is going to attack me while I sleep?" Alpha asked.

"The place is called Niceland, what do you think?" Eggman pointed out.

"Oh ho ho, don't start with me or else I will show you the extent of my sense of humor," Alpha warned in a humorous dark tone of voice.

Eggman chuckled lightly, "Now we wouldn't want any of that now would we? Oh and by the way, keep your secret a secret. If anyone were to learn of what you could do, that may very well have them to turn on you in fear you are going Turbo."

Alpha gave a completely confused look of an expression, "What is that, some kind of virus or glitch?"

Eggman slapped his forehead for not realizing sooner that of course Alpha wouldn't have known who Turbo was, "To sum it up, he was a bit of a virus to invade games to control them to his liking and fame even if it meant the end of the game to have it's plug disconnected." he explained briefly.

Alpha shrugged, "Well then I have nothing to fear then, I am a master of stealth and secrets even if I no longer have the perks to enhance them even more."

Eggman shook his head, "You are one overconfident piece of programming."

Alpha puffs his chest out, "It's in my code and I'm proud of it," and with that, Alpha strutted out to meet his new fate.

"Be sure to visit so you can help me more on my theories!" Eggman call out.

"Great now I'm going to be used as a demo," Alpha amused.

As Alpha exited the game world and crossed into the terminal, he turned back into a silhouette. He saw his data file appear in front of him. He then grabbed his file and focus on himself to see if he could really shift shape back into his new Sonic character.

He double tapped his data file and sure enough it opened up to show his information, which wasn't much. So it was easy to find the Sonic data and his character creation. He double tapped it again and it opened up a new screen to show his information on his new character, but most of it such as Bio, back story, abilities, and role status was empty. He guessed he would have to fill them in when he came back to this game. Anyways he found his character image and double tapped it again and a question box appeared asking if he was sure to use this character image. "No duh, why else would I go through all the trouble to open this." Alpha thought. He selected yes and soon he was instantly changed back into a wolf Sonic character. "Sweet, now to find this Hiccup Felix game or what ever it was."

Alpha hopped onto the train and made his way to Game Central. Right as he left the terminal, a red light flashed and a blue man appeared. "Step aside sir." the Surge Protector asked. "Crap! What do I do? I've been found out!" Alpha panicked. "Ok it looks like I have no info on you about your character." he informed. "Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap!" Alpha repeated in his thoughts. "Well don't worry. All new upgrades tend to have this happen. We're just going to fill in the basic information and you can be on your way."

Alpha breathed easily now knowing he wasn't exposed. "Ok, what is your name?" the Surge Protector began his questionnaire.

Alpha remembered he had to be careful about this, "Uh, Fang" he answered.

"Villain or Hero?" the Surge Protector went on.

"Can you put me down as Vigilante?" Alpha asked.

The Surge Protector just rolled his eyes and wrote in his request, "Basic role or goal in your game?"

"Uh, mercenary," Alpha always wanted to be one, "Oh and my goal is to uh, be a legendary merc."

The Surge Protector nodded, "Mm-hmm. Now what is your main ability?"

"Oh snap this is so awesome!" Alpha thought to himself excitedly, "Uh let's see. My main ability is… well you now. It's like my mental state slows everything down for me to allow me to notice and react quicker to everything around me."

"Interesting, I'm sure you'll be able to handle yourself quite well in a heated battle. Well it looks like that's it. Have a good day Mr. Fang." the Surge Protector said and left.

"Ha! Sucker." Alpha grinned.

Then he returned back to the matter at hand. The Game Central station appeared empty enough with only a few game programs wandering around. He finally spotted Fix It Felix Jr. and entered the terminal and boarded on a small cart like train. He thought it was a very weird train, but didn't mind much. After riding the train, he entered the world and his body started the pixel effect all over again and after it disappeared.

Now Alpha looked like a small stout dwarf, which infuriated him, "What the 8-bit, virus catching, lag is this!" He also noticed his movements were limited to actual movements and low quality. He had enough, so he picked a new body that suited him more and returned his quality and movements. But he wore simple clothes like jeans and a plain green shirt. His other features were normal and he still resembled a kid around the age of twelve. "Well it's better than what I was at least."

Alpha then noticed that the building in this game looked empty, that was a good not he figured. They might have left to visit the new arcade games that were plugged in. Then he saw what was supposed to be a dump that was turned into a residential area with buildings. Behind that was a hill made of bricks and broken building parts. More than enough stuff to build a small place to live in, but he will have to build it on the other side of the pile of bricks away from the small residential area.

Alpha made his way around the pile and found a nice open spot near some trees. Maybe later he could remove trees around the game to place around his home to hide it. Maybe even build a small pond to take a swim in from time to time. He just had to lay low until he could find a good game to settle down in. Alpha began to start on building bricks over each other.

GAME CENTRAL STATION

The game programs were returning from their visit to the new games. The first train made it's first unload of characters and left to pick up more. Out of the group that returned was four odd game programs.

"Whoa! Mother of monkey milk those were awesome new games!" Vanellope shouted hysterically while jumping on top of Ralph's shoulder, "When closing time comes, I want to try out that Star Wars Racing Arcade game!"

"I think I liked the Guitar Hero arcade better than the other," Felix admitted.

"Aw, just because you were to afwaid of the other ones Scarwedy Cat Jr.?" Vanellope said in a baby talk expression.

"No! well maybe a little, besides I like playing some of those love songs for my sweet, sweet wife." Felix said affectionately. Ralph and Vanellope rolled their eyes.

"Well if you ask me, I felt right at home with Area 51," Colhoun mentioned.

"No surprise there," Ralph mumbled, "Well my favorite was Mocap Boxing for obvious reasons."

Vanellope then sat on Ralph's head, "Because you got your butt kicked at Street Fighter boulder butt?

"Hey those guys know karate!" Ralph tried to defend himself

Vanellope then was thinking over, "Maybe I'll try to have a go in Mario Kart next."

"Cuz Mario is a more well know racer?" Ralph said with a hint of instigation.

Vanellope shot a glare at him, "Just because he is a fat doodie spaghetti brain, doesn't mean he can beat the world's greatest racer."

"I don't know squirt, he has been in a series of fighting games and racing games more than any game in history. I'd say he has more of a chance than you, not to mention he is the most well know game icon." Colhoun pointed out.

"But does he have the power of glitching?" she asked with a snotty smirk.

"Look Vanellope, we aren't doubting your ability. It's just that Mario has had a history of using more deadly and effective weapons than you have ever seen." Felix warned.

"Hey lay off the kid. We won't know anything about who is better until there is an actual race between the both of them," Ralph tried to side with Vanellope.

"That's right, ol diaper baby knows what he's talking about," Vanellope crossed her arms sticking her tongue out at the other two.

Ralph grumbled after being called one of his nicknames, "Gee thanks kid. I take your side and what do I get, but an insult,"

Vanellope giggled, she always liked seeing Ralph grumpy and irritated, "Well all the same squirt, if you ever do race him, make sure you watch your back," Colhoun advised.

"Whatever sergeant tight panties," Colhoun shot a glare at Vanellope for her nickname. In all her years in gaming she had never had anyone talk back to her and this pushed her button to the limit. If Vanellope wasn't in the shape of a child, you can bet that it would take more than Felix's hammer to fix her face.

"You are really lucky you're a small brat kid," Colhoun growled.

"What are you gonna do? I have my pet gorilla to protect me," Vanellope challenged.

"Hey don't bring me into this," Ralph tried to avoid the growing tension between the two.

"Now my sweet honey glow, remember she is only a child." Felix tried to calm his wife.

"Keep your pants on, I'm not going to hit a child," Colhoun grumbled.

"You know it. Who would want to harm a sweet cute little girl like me?" Vanellope started to give her big puppy eyes while putting a finger to her pouting lip and childishly crossing her legs. That expression was enough to get them all back in a good mood.

"Well it's time to head back to our games," said Colhoun.

"I'll see you after closing time my darling dear," Felix said before giving his wife a kiss. Ralph gave an awkward look as Vanellope gave an expression of disgust.

"Oh get a room you two after closing time," Vanellope rudely interrupted.

"Well you better get back to your game president booger face," Ralph advised Vanellope who was more than happy to leave the loving couple.

"Don't need to tell me twice, Adios stink brain!" she called as she ran back to Sugar rush.

After a moment Felix and Colhoun broke their kiss and started to head back to there games. Once back in Fix It Felix Jr. they got to their positions and waited for the store to open soon.

Then the day started as it always did. Mr. Litwak opened the arcade, games were being played, the new additions were getting lots of attention, and everything was normal. Until when one moment as the Nicelanders lifted Ralph in the air, he thought he saw something behind the brick pile. Before he could make it out what it was, he was thrown over the roof's edge.

He would have to go check it out after closing time.

WHO CAN SAY THAT I AM WRONG OR RIGHT ABOUT THE WORKINGS OF LIFE INSIDE ELECTRONICS. THIS IS ALL IMAGINED SO DON'T TAKE IT FOR THE TRUTH. I HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO MAKE A PAIRING BUT I WANT TO BE FAIR AND MAKE A POLL ON I SHOULD ADD THIS PAIRING. THE POOL IS OUT AND YOU CAN VOTE YES OR NO ONLY. ON ANOTHER NOTE I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS AFTER THE EVENTS OF WRECK IT RALPH TO GIVE THE CHARACTERS A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE INTO THE UNKNOWN.
