Hope you've been enjoying my WarioWare/Wreck-It Ralph crossover fic so far! As always, reviews are appreciated. =)

So anyway, phase 1 of Purple Basilisk's scheme to pick up where Turbo failed has come and gone. Now, he and his creations begin the next step in conquering Game Central Station...

DISCLAIMER: WarioWare Inc. is owned by Nintendo; Bomberman is a property of Hudson Soft (even though Konami already took it over back in March 2012); and Wreck-It Ralph belongs to Disney. All arcade games featured in this fanfic are properties of their respective owners - yes, even the arcade versions of the first two Contra games. The only characters I own thus far are as follows: Arctic Bomber (Mistress of the Cold), Blaze Bomber (Brother in Flame), Billy and Sid (Wario's fraternity brothers), Phoebe (9-Volt's best friend from another world), and finally, Purple Basilisk and his five Chaotic Bombers.

Chapter 3: Arcade Attack

[Alert BGM: Threat of War (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)]

With his plans set into motion, Purple Basilisk and the five Chaotic Bombers begin hacking into the four designated arcade games by directly accessing the coding for each of them. Purple Basilisk altered the code for Aliens: Extermination, in order to proclaim himself as an absolute ruler of all Xenomorphs. Warlock Bomber did the same in Alien vs. Predator, only he also reprogrammed the renegade soldiers working for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, to obey him and not the in-game general in charge.

Purple Basilisk announced, "The time for a new order has come! My associates and I were thought of as a joke in the real world..."

Warlock Bomber added, "But here in the arcade realm, we are a force to be reckoned with! Together, we'll expand our chaos all over the arcade centers and game consoles in the city, as a warning to those living anywhere else, who dare think about opposing us!"

As for Boxer Bomber and Trigger Bomber, they broke into Hero's Duty to pick up where Turbo had failed. However, instead of altering the game's code in a similar fashion to what Warlock Bomber and Purple Basilisk did, they simply stole a bunch of Cy-Bug eggs and game-jumped directly to Sugar Rush in order to dump them into a lake without being seen.

"Attention, Cy-Bugs!" ordered Boxer Bomber. "Take no prisoners!"

"Multiply at will!" Trigger Bomber added. "Spread away, and bring forth the infestation of the century!"

Finally, Siren Bomber and Mosquito Bomber hacked their way into Terminator Salvation by altering its programming code, so that the armies of T-600, T-7T, Aerostats, and Mototerminators would think they're Skynet. Siren admitted to herself that she never had so much fun impersonating a self-aware artificial intelligence system, let alone Skynet itself. Mosquito, being the inventive bad girl of the bunch, took the stage by controlling all the in-game bots. "All Terminator units, look alive and obey Skynet for Operation: Arcade Attack!"

"The threat that's much bigger than John Connor's Resistance forces consists of the following: Wreck-It Ralph, Fix-It Felix Jr., Sergeant Calhoun, and Vanellope von Schweetz! Find them, and terminate them!"

"You heard Siren! Pulverize John Connor's stupid followers if you must!"

The next morning, Diamond Arcade World was open as usual, but players of all ages everywhere began experiencing glitches occurring in some (if not too many) of the games, such as the Terminator robots running amok in Golden Tee Fore! Complete instead of the actual game they're supposed to be in, or even the fact that there aren't any enemies in Alien vs. Predator for the in-game protagonists to beat up.

"I don't recall seeing any alien creatures in Silver Strike Bowling," said Phoebe, 9-Volt's 10-year-old best friend who once hailed from another Earthly world before she moved next door in Diamond City. She, like him, was a big fan of Nintendo; though she also loved Bomberman and bowling. Her outfit was similar to his own, except her shirt and gloves were sea green, and her skirt crimson red. While 9-Volt's shirt bore the letter "V" up front, Phoebe had the famed Nintendo 64 logo instead.

"I hope it's not what I think it is," added 9-Volt. "Oh, where's Yuffie when we need her?"

"No time!" warned Kat. "We have to get back with Mona and alert Blaze Bomber about this!"

"I'm beginning to think it's Turbo all over again," cried Ana, "just like in the movie! RUN!"

Yuffie Kisaragi was a ninja in her late teens from a distant village of Wutai, which was destroyed five years ago during the Alien Wars. Since then, she had been getting around in Tokyo until World War III, in which Plasma Bomber - one of the Five Dastardly Bombers reprogrammed to serve Red Falcon instead of Bagular - took over by proclaiming himself an absolute ruler of Japan. Sometime before the Red Falcon Empire's demise, she joined us Contras in our quest to save the Earth right after we freed Japan, even making an oath to help protect our friends, including 9-Volt and Phoebe, for as long as she lived. Nowadays, she had taken residence in Diamond City at the Diamond Dojo, assisting Kat and Ana's sensei in teaching them the arts of ninjutsu. Though the young twins were surprised they'd be getting help from the same ninja girl who appeared in both Final Fantasy VII and the Kingdom Hearts franchise, they gladly expressed their gratitude by accepting her offer.

But today, the four young children had no time to alert the dojo due to the panic going around. Something was obviously wrong here, so Blaze Bomber had no choice but to temporarily close the arcade - whilst refunding everyone their quarters they just used - and alert Arctic Bomber to help him assess the situation since Bill, Lance, Ami, and I are unavailable due to our vacation on planet Bomber. 9-Volt, Phoebe, Kat, and Ana, on the other hand, would remain with Mona and 5-Volt until further notice.

As for Arctic Bomber, she moved to an apartment in Oakland, California, ever since she helped us destroy the Red Falcon Empire for good. Bill and Lance would occasionally pay her a visit, whether it's for an important mission or to keep an eye on her, or even to help her control her anger, at least until she's off probation. She used to work for Red Falcon as one of the Hate Bombers, until she got kicked out for her immaturity and bumbling incompetence.

"Hey, Blaze!" she called. "I drove all the way here from my apartment as quickly as I could! What's the scoop this time?"

"You're not gonna believe this, Arctic," said Blaze Bomber, "but the arcade games have somehow gone berserk!"

The twosome eventually spotted Wario in Sugar Rush, fending off a bunch of Cy-Bugs alongside Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun. "What's Wario doing in there...and how'd he get inside?"

Arctic Bomber thought for a moment. "It must be his Telmet he used. I heard he modified it a little so he'd get inside more than just TV shows." Just then, Warlock Bomber showed up on-screen at the Alien vs. Predator arcade cabinet.

"Hello, Arctic and Blaze..."

Blaze Bomber gasped. "Warlock Bomber! But, how did you guys..."

"Get inside? Easy! We 'legally' duplicated Wario's Telmet to bring out the chaos! We may not be so much a threat in the outside world, but inside the arcade realm...well, you probably know what I'm gonna say next. Oh, and I'd run on over to the Aliens: Extermination game cabinet if I were you. My master, Purple Basilisk, wants to see you now."

Henceforth, Blaze Bomber took Arctic Bomber over to the "2000 and Beyond" section, where they saw Purple Basilisk's face in the designated game's monitor. "You meddlesome Contras are too late! Your arcade building is ours for the taking! Once we've done enough damage, we'll begin spreading throughout your Diamond City's other arcade centers and the video game consoles that reside in houses and stores alike! They're easy to conquer because they don't have firewalls or anti-virus software like computer systems and networks do!"

Arctic Bomber growled. "You're not gonna get away with this! We'll get in there and help Wario dish out some anti-virus techniques on your sorry butts! We've got a couple Telmets of our own, just in case!"

The two heroic Bombermen wasted no time teleporting themselves inside Game Central Station, and stormed Silver Strike Bowling to chase off the renegade soldiers causing trouble to the NPCs normally unseen during gaming hours. With the help of the Predator Warrior and Hunter, two of the four playable protagonists in Alien vs. Predator, they managed to save the bowling game.

[Briefing BGM: Alien's Den (Contra ReBirth)]

"We have captured the rogue soldiers, but the aliens are still running amok," said the Predator Warrior.

Arctic Bomber was surprised to hear the creature speak fluently, and she didn't even have a translator device with her. "I didn't know Predators could speak fluent English."

The Predator Hunter explained, "As the player characters, we Predators were programmed to speak your English language properly. Occasionally, we speak our tribe's native tongue."

"Where are the other player characters?" asked Blaze Bomber.

The Warrior answered, "Major Dutch Schaefer and Linn Kurosawa have their hands full in NFL Blitz 2000. These aliens may not be entirely worthy of hunting, but we follow the code of honor to prevent them from spreading all over Game Central Station."

"Like with the ones called Cy-Bugs," added the Hunter, "the aliens do not know they are in a game, nor do they care. They act as living weapons to kill."

Arctic Bomber scoffed. "I figured as much. But I also heard the Terminator robots are running loose in that Golden Tee golf game like they own the place!"

"Then let us hunt these robots!" The Predator Warrior raised his claw, giving out a trademark roar as if he took off his mask.

"I'll head on to NFL Blitz 2000 to help Schaefer and Linn," said Blaze Bomber. "Good hunting, you three!"

Arctic Bomber, having teamed up with the two Predators, took off for Golden Tee Fore! Complete to drive out the Terminator robots. Blaze Bomber, on the other hand, did as he announced so that the football players wouldn't get killed, much less impregnated by the facehuggers. In fact, he made it just in time to incinerate the Xenomorphs and facehuggers before Schaefer and Linn were killed, since arcade characters die for real outside their own game.

"Am I on time?" asked Blaze Bomber.

"Looks like it," replied Schaefer, his voice sounding like Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Thanks for helping us."

"But...who are you?" asked Linn.

"I'll explain on the way. We need to help Wreck-It Ralph and the others take out the Cy-Bugs before they spread!"

"I've heard of them from Sergeant Calhoun. They're just as horrifying and destructive as the aliens we endlessly face in our own game."

Blaze Bomber nodded. "Yeah. However, the aliens in Aliens: Extermination are one and the same, only just as scary in 3D. It's a long story..."

[End BGM]

Though the Xenomorphs and rogue soldiers from Alien vs. Predator were defeated, the Xenomorphs that reside in Aliens: Extermination were still on the loose along with the Terminator robots and Cy-Bugs. Blaze Bomber, Schaefer, and Linn took a quick trip to Alien vs. Predator and managed to expel Warlock Bomber from altering the game's code any longer, thus forcing him to retreat to Aliens: Extermination. Strangely, though, he actually let them kick him out effortlessly (albeit for now) and undo the damage he did, for he knew Purple Basilisk had his back with the Xenomorphs at his command. As for Arctic Bomber and the Predators, they must hurry and take out the Terminator robots before they turn their attention towards Ralph and his friends' true location: Sugar Rush.

Meanwhile, at the overtaken Skynet in Terminator Salvation, Siren Bomber announced that she was going to find Fix-It Felix and kidnap him, while Mosquito Bomber remained in control of Skynet's Terminator army.

"Whatcha gonna do, Siren? I mean, you don't even know where Felix is!"

"Oh, but I think I know where he and Ralph would go and hang out, Mosquito. I'll allure him with my singing, so he'll dump that Calhoun woman and devote his life to me!"

"But aren't they already married?"

"Then I just have to try harder, like so!"

With that, the Singing Beauty magically took the form of Sergeant Calhoun and walked off to Sugar Rush, where Boxer and Trigger Bomber were having a grand time fighting alongside the Cy-Bugs. Despite their efforts, Ralph proved himself stronger than Boxer Bomber and smashed him down. Wario, on the other hand, jammed Trigger Bomber's gun arms by simply squashing them with his bare hands.

"D'oooh! He busted my guns!"

Boxer Bomber snorted. "Big deal! They still have the Cy-Bugs to deal with!"

"Not anymore, Balrog!" shouted Wario.

"Boxer Bomber! It's just Boxer Bomber - no relation to that mule himself!"

Wario scoffed. "Well...you're just as stubborn as he is! All he does is punch!" Then he smashed more Cy-Bugs alongside Ralph.

"Consider yourselves expelled from the arcade!" shouted Calhoun.

Trigger Bomber shook one of his damaged gun arms. "Warlock and the others will make you sorry for this!"

Wario, Ralph, and Calhoun bashed Trigger and Boxer's heads, not only expelling them from Game Central Station, but also destroying the pirated Telmets they were wearing in reality. Two of the five Chaotic Bombers were now severed of their unauthorized connection to the arcade. Just then, another Calhoun appeared, with Ralph and his friends unaware it's Siren Bomber in disguise.

[Alert BGM: Deception (Final Fantasy V)]

"Huh? Are there..." wondered Vanellope.

"Two of her?" asked Felix.

Siren Bomber, thinking quickly so as to not get busted, imitated Calhoun's voice: "That witch next to you is a phony! I'm the real deal."

Felix became confused. "I...uh..."

"What are you so afraid of? I'm Sergeant Calhoun, your dynamite gal, remember?"

Wario warned quickly, "Hey, Felix! Don't be fooled! It's Siren Bomber!"

"Shut up, noob!" Siren grabbed him and kicked his butt as hard as she could muster.

"OWWW! What did I do?!"

"Anyone else wanna try and falsely accuse me of being somebody else?!" The Singing Beauty sang an alluring song, bringing Felix closer to herself.

But Vanellope was ready for it, since the song only affected males. "I'll fix that!" She jumped on Siren Bomber's head, glitching her out of her Calhoun disguise.

Felix, however, was still hypnotized. "Dynamite gal..."

The real Calhoun glared at the impostor. "You black-hearted snake! Get your hands off my husband!"

Siren Bomber shrieked, this time in her normal voice. "YEEEK! Busted!"

[Fight BGM: Reznor's Theme (New Super Mario Bros. 2)]

Bellowing like an Amazon warrior, Calhoun dive-bombed Siren Bomber, interrupting her alluring song on Felix (and freeing him). Then Ralph signaled for Vanellope to call the other Sugar Rush racers to take out the remaining Cy-Bugs. They brought in a bunch of candy-coated catapults with cherry bombs for ammunition. Taffyta did the honors by ordering Candlehead to light the fuses, while everyone else launched the lit cherry bombs at the Cy-Bugs, wiping them out instantly. Wario, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun cleared the area so the bombs also blasted Siren Bomber out of Sugar Rush and out of Game Central Station with her pirated Telmet destroyed, permanently expelling her from taking further action in dominating the arcade.

"Beaten by Calhoun and a bunch of bratty, candy-coated kids! Ugh!"

"Ahhh, shaddap!" growled Boxer Bomber.

Back inside Game Central Station, Arctic Bomber and the two Predators were having trouble with the Terminator machines. Then she thought of something: she could head for Terminator Salvation and stop the attack at its source, and force all of Skynet's robots to return to the actual game and stay there like they're supposed to. She prompted the Predators to do what they can, while she headed out to complete her objective. Upon her arrival in the Terminator arcade game, none of the enemies were present at all, because they already left for Golden Tee Fore! Complete to begin with, thus leaving Skynet open to attack. Despite the game's large-sized world, it didn't take more than 20 minutes to find Skynet's central area. She was, however, surprised to see Mosquito Bomber impersonating Skynet to control the Terminator machinery.

"What the? AAAH! Not you again, Arctic Bomber!"

"Too bad, Mosquito! I'm pulling the plug on your science project!"

Because there were just about no insects in Terminator Salvation, all Mosquito Bomber could rely on were the mosquitoes from her Mosquito Bombs. Fortunately, it didn't take much effort for Arctic to get rid of her and expel her from Game Central Station, destroying the pirated Telmet in the process. With Skynet back to normal, it ordered all Terminator machines to return to their key positions in the arcade game. Arctic Bomber left without delay to rendezvous with the Predators, along with Blaze Bomber, Schaefer, and Linn at Game Central Station. From there, they awaited the arrival of Wario, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun before mounting a final strike against Warlock Bomber and Purple Basilisk.

[End BGM]

Wario took a deep breath to catch his thoughts. "Okay...I think I owe you guys an explanation on all this. Some crazy nutjob named Purple Basilisk is trying to take over Game Central Station!"

"I know," said Arctic Bomber. "That's why Blaze Bomber and I went inside to help assess the situation. We've already driven Mosquito, Trigger, Boxer, and Siren Bomber out, so that leaves us with Warlock Bomber to expel."

Blaze Bomber added, "Still, we gotta stay on our toes since the Xenomorphs are still at large. Who knows what other games they might have taken over while we were dealing with the other bad guys?"

Thus, the group went to Tapper's to plan their final step into saving the arcade once and for all...

TO BE CONTINUED...

The threat is almost eliminated, though Purple Basilisk and Warlock Bomber are still accounted for.
