CHAPTER V : ZANGIEF
That day, almost all the people in Arcade don't recognize each other, they becoming against each other, the Surge Protectors now preparing for initialize the final blue flash, so then all of the Arcade will forget everything and they will destroying each others, so Litwak's Arcade will be closed forever and no more entertainment for the kids.
"Oh my man, look all the people there! they scream and hit each others! come on Ralph! let's go to the Tapper's to find Ryu!", Felix exclaimed and he suddenly surprised when he saw the Surge Protectors are standing in the side of The Tapper's entrance.
"Ralph, they're protecting the gate! what should we do!?", asked Felix with a worrying sound.
"Wait, here's the idea buddy!. You and me will act like we never know each other, and we will point to the furthest side of the station and scream the survivors are running that way, so they will be distracted!, can i count on you Felix?", said Ralph in hurry.
"No, that won't work, i will distract them by myself, and you sir, run as fast as possible to the Tapper's!", Felix then see his big friend's eye deeply. "Ralph, trust me", with smiling.
"What? Felix, no! i can't let them catch you!, you will be safe with me!, come on pal! what's wrong!?", Ralph tried to convinced Felix.
Felix just giving him a big smile and hug, "no one will ever feel safe, pal ... until you reach the core of the codes which can stop the surge protectors, and then i and the others will feel safe...bring back our memories, Ralph...".
"...i will..", said Ralph gently. Then in a few seconds, Felix run towards the gate of The Tapper's and distract the Surge Protectors to the other side of the station. In the middle of the un-controllable crowd, Ralph drops his tears and run as fast as possible to The Tapper's.
One surge protectors suddenly caught his action and chase him inside.
"RYU!? ANYONE WHERE ARE YOU!?, I'M RALPH!, YOU'RE SAFE NOW!, THERE'S NO TIME LEFT, WE HAVE TO BE QUICK!", Ralph shouted loudly inside the bar.
"Ralph? is that you?", suddenly Glenn appears from under the table.
"Glenn!, you're okay pal? where's the rest?", asked Ralph.
"They're caught up when they're in search of you, Ralph!", Glenn exclaimed sadly.
"What!?, but, where are they now!?", Ralph begin to ask again, he then heard an electric sound from the bar entrance.
"They're in the lair of Super Mario!, you have to get there now and search for the core of the code! Ryu told this to me, so i can tell you if he's busted up!, now GO ! - "not so fast, Ralph", suddenly the surge protectors point his hand to the turtle and suddenly Glenn doesn't recognize Ralph anymore, he then hid himself in his cage and about to hit Ralph.
"You...why did you do this..", asked Ralph, his hands were ready to throw the table next to him.
"Nothing", the surge protectors begin to point his hand once more, but Ralph already throw the table to him and he won't be able to avoid it in time. Ralph then run to Super Mario World, and he have to get to the Dragon's Lair in time.
"Ralph!", suddenly he heard a strange voice when he passed through level 2. It's the mushroom, Jim.
"Jim? what are you doing there?", asked Ralph.
"You won't be able to make in time! follow me and i'll take you to Dragon's Lair!, but Ralph, beware, the dragon is in there, and you could've been killed!", said Jim.
"I don't care, Jim! now take me there, i've fought King Candy when he turned into a deadly virus two years ago! so there's no reason for me to lose from the dragon!", Ralph exclaimed bravely.
"But Ralph, the dragon have been infected by those Surge Protectors blue flash thingy, and he might become even more dangerous!. I know you wanna save this Arcade, but why don't you think about how if you don't re-generate anymore? how about the people inside your game!?", Jim asked Ralph with a serious expression. He doesn't want Ralph to get hurt in any way.
"Jim, take me there...please, the time is running out!. The Surge Protectors will launch the final flash, and when that happened, you and i will about to kill each other..now, please Jim...please, take me there !", Ralph answered bravely.
"...suite yourself Ralph, but please, stay alive!".
Jim then take Ralph to the underworld ground where the mushrooms and the survivors hid there, Ralph saw Big Gene, and Vanellope's friends from Sugar Rush cried each other and saw himself as a hero of the arcade.
