The finale is here, folks! I thought about finishing this special fic once and for all so I can prepare for a follow-up story in time for Halloween and to celebrate the Year of Luigi. In fact, it will star Luigi though I am thinking of adding some Wreck-It Ralph characters into the mix...
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 4: Tale of a mad Siren
[Interlude BGM: Dark Terror (Advance Wars: Dual Strike)]
Though Siren Bomber was disconnected abruptly from Game Central Station, it didn't stop her from fuming about Sergeant Calhoun expelling her with the help of the Sugar Rush racers. She would not have it any longer. Then she snapped, and decided it's personal: delete Calhoun from the arcade and steal Fix-It Felix for herself. Immediately, she pulled Purple Basilisk's Telmet off his head, abruptly cutting off his access to Game Central Station, let alone Aliens: Extermination.
"H-hey! What gives, Siren?!"
"I'm not leaving without kidnapping Felix, master! I hoped to avoid resorting to this without disconnecting one of us from Game Central Station...but that stubborn wife of his is gonna pay for this!"
Purple Basilisk struggled to grab his Telmet back from Siren Bomber, only to receive a kick in the face."STOP! This is mutiny! MUTINY!"
Boxer Bomber barged in to pull her off too, but to no avail. "Yeah! No way you're disconnecting our boss!"
"I second that!" added Trigger Bomber.
"NEVER!" Then Siren Bomber kicked them around, and stole a vial of Bachhus's Wine from some Final Fantasy games, known as a supportive item for giving someone a Berserk status.
"Hey, wait a minute!" complained Mosquito Bomber. "I needed that to run a few tests with our demon soldiers! The results are unpredictable!"
It was too late; Siren Bomber had pulled the vial open and drank the enchanted wine, making herself berserk. "Now...Felix shall belong to me, AND ONLY ME!"
In a frenzy, she blasted her comrades away with her powered-up cartoon bombs. Then she put on the stolen Telmet, teleporting herself back into Game Central Station. Only Warlock Bomber remained untouched, though it's likely he might be expelled during Siren's frenzied spree. Either way, she knew he might find out what caused Purple Basilisk to suddenly get disconnected, so she went directly to Aliens: Extermination to kick him out.
"Siren Bomber?! What're you doing?"
"Getting you out of the way, that's what!" She furiously punched and kicked the leader of the Chaotic Bombers to the point in which he was unable to even defend himself, let alone cast a Black Magic spell.
"Stop! I'm your leader! I order you to stop!" But try as he might, Siren Bomber blasted him with her bombs. "AAACK! Dang it, she won't obey! It seems I have no other choice."
He called forth all of the Xenomorphs to return to the game they belong in, solely to expel Siren Bomber for committing treason against him and Purple Basilisk. But she didn't care at this point, for she got out a Smash Ball, broke it, and transformed into the mythical Scylla. Sporting twelve tentacle-like legs and a cat's tail while four to six dog-heads ringed her waist, she had four eyes on her face and three rows of sharp teeth. Not even Warlock Bomber's powerful Black Magic could stop her so easily, due to her Berserk status. She smashed him and bit off his Telmet, forcing him out of Game Central Station and back to reality. With his control over the Xenomorphs lost, they were instantly brainwashed by Siren Bomber's hypnotizing song into thinking she's their Alien Queen.
[End BGM]
[Final battle BGM: Dance of Sadness (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin)]
With them under her complete control, the Singing Beauty went directly to Fix-It Felix Jr., where Wario, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, Calhoun, Arctic Bomber, Blaze Bomber, Schaefer, Linn, and the two Predators were wondering what became of the Xenomorphs they tried to expunge. That's when Siren Bomber arrived in her monstrous form and subdued everyone by surprise with her tentacles and dog-heads, her torso resembling that of a large snake. She even imprisoned them all, except for Wario, Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun, to the buildings' walls with bent metal girders. After ordering the Xenomorphs to stand guard, she brainwashed Wario with her alluring song, kidnapped Felix, climbed with them all the way to the top of the Niceland penthouse, and changed back to her normal form, no longer induced with Berserk status.
"I only subdued you in order to save you for this exquisite moment. You see, I run the show now! Along the way here, I swiped some big canisters of gasoline for the off-road trucks from Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road, and poured them all over the surface around this penthouse. If you miss one lit bomb thrown from the rooftop by me and my humble servant, Wario, the impending blast will ignite the gasoline and FWOOOOOOSH! The final hour of Niceland's very first penthouse!"
Arctic Bomber groaned, "Oh, great! Now she thinks she's the mad bomber from Activision's classic Kaboom! on the Atari 2600!"
"I second that," agreed Blaze Bomber, "though I've never seen her like this before."
The Predator Warrior explained, "I think it has something to do with her extreme jealousy towards the sergeant."
"She must really want Felix for herself," agreed the Predator Hunter, "but we will free ourselves from these metallic shackles!"
"And free Wario while we're at it," said Blaze Bomber.
Schaefer took the Hunter's words into account with an idea. "Everybody push as hard as you can! We can force all the bent girders off the building walls if we work together! We can't let those alien monsters do us in since we're outside Alien vs. Predator!"
Linn nodded in acknowledgement. "I was thinking the same thing! Okay...PUSH!"
Elsewhere on the rooftop, Siren Bomber was busy stockpiling the rooftop with a bunch of unlit cartoon bombs. She and the brainwashed Wario lit a few at a time, ready to throw them down towards the ground at Ralph, Vanellope, and Calhoun. "Just to make things fair, I've left three water buckets for you to use, but that's all you're getting from me! Buckets up! Wario, you know what to do!"
"Yes, Mistress," said Wario, monotonously. "I obey only you!"
Calhoun, on the other hand, warned the Singing Beauty, "I swear, if you do so much as harm my husband..."
"Yeah, Ms. Goddess of Jealousy and Temper Tantrums!" shouted Vanellope.
Siren Bomber growled. "I'm not tantrummy! I'm only like this, let alone bomb-happy, because you forced me to take extreme measures! You see, if I were to take Felix for myself, I could use him and his magic hammer towards rebuilding the Basilisk Dynasty...or better yet, build an empire out of Game Central Station where all the men shall do my dirty work for me without question! No, not just the in-game male characters; every man who goes to play any arcade game connected here will be brainwashed by me, too!"
Arctic Bomber shuddered quietly. "Yeeesh! And I thought I was the bad one..."
"I know, but Siren Bomber is worse," whispered Blaze Bomber.
Siren Bomber ignored Arctic and Blaze's silent talk, still focused on Ralph, Vanellope, and Calhoun with a crazed smile. "All in all, I'm just happy enough to bomb you three so hard, you'll be sorry you humiliated me like when you kicked me out of Sugar Rush!"
"You're CRAZY!" bellowed Ralph.
"HA! Far from it, Major Body-Odor!"
"Hey, that's my line!" complained Vanellope.
Calhoun, on the other hand, thought of an idea. "Ralph, Vanellope, I'll get to the rooftop and save Felix, much less snap Wario out of the trance! You catch Siren Bomber's bombs and douse out their fuses!" Then she ran off inside the building to take the elevator to the highest floor.
"A lot of good that'll do you," retorted Siren Bomber. "All you're doing is giving me a higher chance of setting the whole ground ablaze!"
With that, the twisted game of Kaboom! between Ralph, Vanellope, and Siren Bomber began. Since Ralph was bigger than Vanellope, he had no problem holding two of the three water buckets at once with his "freakishly-huge" hands. Elsewhere, three other racers of Sugar Rush - Taffyta Muttonfudge, Candlehead, and Rancis Fluggerbutter - came into Niceland from Game Central Station in the hopes of helping Vanellope save the day, only to be forced to avoid the Xenomorphs by running away from the main apartment itself.
"Sooner or later," gloated Siren Bomber, "one of you will miss, and in this game: one missed bomb and you're both out!"
"More like not for this penthouse, Siren," said Ralph. "Whatever gets wrecked, Felix can fix!"
"And I've got a superpower as the President of Sugar Rush!" Then Vanellope concentrated on her "superpower" by glitching her way around the middle of the penthouse, stopping to catch the bombs and put out their fuses - and to make Ralph's life easier. Thankfully, he was assisted by Taffyta, Candlehead, and Rancis as they worked together to keep the bombs from exploding on the ground. Wario, on the other hand, spotted them with an intention to get even on behalf of Siren Bomber. He pulled out a Bob-omb, lit its fuse, and hurled it downwards. Candlehead yelped with fear, even after she caught the Bob-omb in the water bucket, putting out its fuse. After pulling it out, she took note of its appearance and hugged it warmly.
"Aww, you poor thing..." She planted an affectionate kiss on the Bob-omb's face. "Shhh, it's okay, little round fella. Mommy's here."
Meanwhile, Sergeant Calhoun managed to reach the rooftop, and without being seen, she tossed a hand grenade at the pile of unlit bombs. She quickly grabbed Felix and took him to safety, but not before telling him to relax. As they both went back downstairs, the grenade detonated, setting off a chain reaction of exploding bombs, blasting both Siren Bomber and Wario off the roof. The force of the explosion snapped Wario out of the trance, thus enabling him to grab hold of one of the windows.
"Don't think this ends here, Calhoun! YOU HEAR ME?!" Siren Bomber transformed into Scylla again with another Smash Ball, clinging her claws into the walls. Then she saw Ralph and Vanellope putting out the fuses on her bombs. "HEY! You cheated!"
Vanellope shook her head no. "Nuh-uh! I'm just playing fair!"
Ralph noticed Felix and Calhoun running outside the building. "Good work, you two! Now what?"
"I have an idea," said Calhoun, getting out a voice recorder that played back an Alien Queen's call for help. "Linn gave this to me one time in case of emergency."
Felix snapped his fingers in agreement. "Oh, I get it! Those Xenomorphs will think they're being summoned here."
"Right. Okay, everyone: round up Siren Bomber's bombs on the big puddle of gasoline, but don't set them off until I give the word!"
"Say no more!" said Wario, his voice back to normal.
In the meantime, Arctic Bomber and her group had just freed themselves from the bent girders, and chased off the Xenomorphs. Wario got back down to rendezvous with his four new friends, piled up the bombs, and turned on the voice recorder by setting it to loop the Alien Queen's call over and over. Calhoun turned up the volume to its highest level, planted a remote mine on the recorder, and hid it within the bombs before getting back with the others. As for the Xenomorphs, they were drawn in by the supposed cry for help, thinking their queen was buried underground during the fight. But just as they reached Niceland's very first penthouse...
"This is gonna get awful messy, Vanellope, so brace yourself," warned Ralph.
"Stop! Wait! What're you doing?!" Siren Bomber slithered downwards in a last-ditch effort to get the brainwashed Xenomorphs out of the bomb pile.
Calhoun hugged Felix tightly, whilst out of range from an impending explosion. "Cover your eyes, Fix-It! FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
"WHAT?!"
With a press of a button on the detonator, the remote mine exploded, setting off the big pile of unlit bombs and causing a huge fire simultaneously. Siren Bomber was knocked off by the force of the explosion, and fell down as the Xenomorphs were incinerated.

"My Telmet! It's melting! Stoppit! STOPPIT!"
The big flames not only destroyed the pirated Telmet, but also burned down the female Chaotic Bomber's monstrous body, eventually killing her before she could even be disconnected from Game Central Station. During the explosion, Candlehead held the Bob-omb in a protective hug so as to not get blown up in her face.
[Victory BGM: Wily Defeated (Mega Man 4 (NES))]
"In yer face, Siren Bomber!" boasted Wario. "That's what you and your fellow goons get for pirating my Telmet!"
"I second that," said Arctic Bomber. "I mean, I didn't think Purple Basilisk and the Chaotic Bombers could build some of the completely functional Telmets."
[End BGM]
[Ending BGM: Staff Roll (Mega Man X2)]
Sometime before the end of the day, Wario, Arctic Bomber, and Blaze Bomber were congratulated on a job well done by Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, Calhoun, Schaefer, Linn, and the two Predators for eliminating the worst threat since the Cy-Bug incident in Sugar Rush. Taffyta and Rancis, on the other hand, were surprised to see Candlehead caring for the Bob-omb.
"Can I keep him?" asked Candlehead, holding out the Bob-omb. "Oh, please! I'll take good care of him!"
"Okay, but just to make sure he doesn't explode..." said Calhoun, carefully removing all the gunpowder and replacing the fuse with a candle wick. "There we go. Now he's got the same wick your cupcake beanie does!"
"YAY! Thank you, thank you! I'm gonna call him...Candle Ball!" Candlehead's pet Bob-omb then smiled at what she said, and rubbed himself against her cheek warmly.
Taffyta giggled, glancing at her best friend's new pet. "Well, if Candlehead's happy, then we're happy too. Nice to meet you, Candle Ball!"
"Speaking of which," said Arctic Bomber, "Wario, Blaze, and I gotta get going, but we'll come back and visit you guys sometime!"
Afterwards, the threesome bid farewell as they teleported out of Game Central Station. Around the same time, Purple Basilisk and his four remaining Chaotic Bombers were immediately arrested by the underworld police. Apparently, Blaze Bomber secretly tipped off Penny Crygor earlier today, thus enabling her to rally up Ashley to help her teleport to the underworld - and tip off the police about Purple Basilisk's illegal use of network travel. The following day afterwards, he and his followers were put on trial, found guilty, and hauled off to the Grim Reaper Penitentiary.
"Next time, Wario, Arctic, and Blaze!" ranted Purple Basilisk. "NEXT TIIIIIIME!"
Back on the surface, everyone in Diamond City went to Diamond Arcade World to hear the good news about Wario, Arctic Bomber, and Blaze Bomber's efforts in restoring the arcade games back to their normal conditions. Then they began playing the games without fear of unnatural glitches and/or sudden attacks from the Xenomorphs, Cy-Bugs, and Terminator robots alike. Later that night, the building closed; thus Ralph, Vanellope, Felix, and Calhoun left their own arcade games to invite Schaefer, Linn, Mike Haggar, Cody Travers, Guy, Ryu, Ken, Guile, Chun Li, and even Cassandra Alexandra to compete with them in Track & Field, Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road, Daytona USA, and even Cruis'n World. Clyde, M. Bison, Sagat, Vega, Balrog, Sodom, Rolento, and Nightmare of "Bad-Anon" were invited to take part as the audience, while placing bets on who would win in each game Ralph's group participated.
"Don't think I'm going easy on you just because I saved your life, hon," said Calhoun.
Felix replied coyly, "You're on, Dynamite Gal!"
Vanellope glanced over to Ralph. "You ready for this, Stinkbrain?"
"As ready as I'll ever be, President Fartfeathers."
The foursome laughed with each other, and started their vehicles' engines as the Super Off Road qualifying races began. While the game only allowed players to drive off-road trucks, an update was recently added from the "Track Pak" version in which players can also choose to drive a dune buggy, along with 8 additional tracks (equaling 16 altogether) to compete in during the game. Trucks held more traction and top speed, but the dune buggies had better shocks and acceleration. Since the trucks were too large for Felix and Vanellope to reach for the gas pedals, they chose to drive the dune buggies instead to help make it a fair race for first place.

NO ARCADE CABINETS WERE GLITCHED OR CRASHED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS SPECIAL FIC.
And that's a wrap! I hope you enjoyed my crossover fic, so I shall be seeing you again some other time. =)
EDIT: One more thing I forgot to mention. For those of you new to my fanfics, I'd like to point something out regarding the VAs I have chosen for the characters I used. Most of the time, the characters I add originally did not have any official VAs to begin with (i.e. Cheerful White, aka Shirobon/White Bomber from Bomberman); therefore, I usually think up which VAs would fit them best as if it were a reality, especially for the characters I've made up myself. I know it sounds kinda silly when you think about it at first, but let's just say I like to imagine all this. Hope that cleared things up!
