Without further ado... CHAPTAH STARTO!

Chapter 3

Sugar Rushed

Ray woke up on the pad with his original clothes on.

"My head... What a way to end your birthday." Ray groaned as he stood up and walked out the door into the hall.

"Morning, sleepyhead." Litwak spoke as he walked up to Ray and handed him a cup of coffee.

"How long was I out?" Ray queried as he glugged the hot beverage.

"All night. It's 7:30."

"Am?!" Ray queried a bit loud for an early morning.

"Yes am. But I don't blame you. The first time's always rough." Litwak consoled gently.

"I can feel that." Ray groaned as he popped his back.

"I'm closing Litwak's for today so the games can recover and it gives me time to tell you about The L.O.S. and the Codemasters." Litwak explained as Ray leaned against the door frame.

"I don't have anywhere to be today so let's hear it." Ray replied.

"Well... It all started when the first arcade game was built. No one knew they would take off so quickly, but they also didn't know that the games were actually very much alive," Litwak chuckled before he continued," One day, the main character of Turbotime, Turbo, decided to crash another game out of jealousy. Both games got unplugged, and Turbo was supposedly deleted. Years later, we find out that Turbo was really King Candy as he tried to take over the arcade. Luckily, Ralph and his friends sent him packing before he did any real damage. Little did they know, he was part of a bigger group known as the League Of Shadows or L.O.S. for short."

"The L.O.S.? Sounds like a night club."

"The L.O.S. are a group of video game villains being controlled by an evil man from our world. Only a programmer could have as much influence in their world as he does. He feeds off the dark and bitter feelings they have to get them to do his bidding. Only few villains actually believe they serve him. Others think they're in a partnership. That's why the Codemasters exist. To stop him and his dark ways from doing any real damage to the games and their citizens. It'd be nice to find out who he is and catch him eventually, but we're fine with stopping his plans for now. Any questions?"

"Well... Not really. Sounds legit." Ray replied as he stared at his gauntlet.

"Ok then. Now that you know the whole story, I want you to go to GCS and get used to your surroundings."

"Sounds like a plan." Ray replied as he walked onto the pad.

"Transport in 3... 2... 1!" A bright light consumed Ray as he disappeared again. He reappeared in the Coderoom in and walked out the door into the busy hub of GCS.

Meanwhile in Sugar Rush...

"What's up, stinkbrain? You look dumber than usual." Vanellope spoke as they walked to Diet Cola Mountain.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Ralph replied with his hands behind his head.

"Hmm... Distracted... Not wanting to talk about it... You're in love aren't you?"

"What?! No! Of course not!" Ralph replied in a hurry with a huge blush plain on his face.

"Gasp! You are! OMG!" Vanellope shouted as she glitched all around him.

"OK! Maybe I am! So?!"

"Is she pretty? Do I know her? Is she tall?" Vanellope queried as she bombarded him with even more questions.

"Who said it was a she?" Ralph stated as sat on the chocolatey ground.

"It's not? Hmm. Never pictured you as a man's man but okay! Why don't you ask him out?"

"Are you kidding?! He's a Codemaster! What if he's a homophobe? What if he hates me? What if..."

"OK OK! Let's make a deal! if I win my next race, you ask him out."

"OK... Only if you use absolutely no weapons. And yes, glitching is a weapon!"

"Deal!" Ralph shook Vanellope's hand thinking to himself, 'What'd I get myself into?'

Back in GCS...

As Ray strolled through the station, some characters waved at him while others glared.

"Why are they so angry?" Ray thought as he walked through the station.

"Look out!" a voice shouted from behind Ray. The person ran over him and he tumbled towards the door to Sugar Rush.

"What was that? A bulldozer or a small jeep?" Ray thought as he picked himself up.

"Sorry. Are you okay?" A girl no taller than 5'11 with a black pixy cut with red streaks, bright blue eyes, really pale skin and thin with curves dressed in a denim blue jacket, daisy dukes and boots held out her hand to help him up.

"I was in a rush to get to Sugar Rush. I'm Sarah. What's your name?"

"Ray. What's going on in Sugar Rush?"

"They have roster races everyday to pick the avatars."

"I always thought that was random. Mind if I tag along?"

"It's the least I can do. Let's go!"Sarah ran towards the monorail with Ray on her heels. Little did they know, a shadowy figure was watching them from the shadows.

"We missed the train. Crap!" Ray shouted as he kicked air.

"Don't you have a codeboard?" Sarah inquired.

"Codeboard?"

"Yeah. It's the Codemaster's hoverboard. You are a Codemaster right?" Sarah inquired as she held up a bright blue gauntlet.

"You too?"

"Yeah." She pulled out a code card and threw it on the ground. All of a sudden, a bright blue hoverboard with her name on it appeared from the card.

"You didn't swipe it?" Ray inquired.

"You don't swipe Code Vehicles. You must be new."

"It's actually my second day."

"Everyone was new at some point. Now check your box."

Ray opened his box and saw a second card. It was the codeboard. He dropped it and a silver board appeared with his name on it.

"Let's ride!" Ray shouted as he took off down the tunnel Sarah close behind.

They reached the entrance to Sugar Rush in 2 minutes, but Ray's mind was elsewhere.

"Who is she?" Sarah asked as she broke Ray of his trance.

"She?"

"The girl you like! Geez! You look like a lovesick puppy!"

"I have no clue what you're talking about."

"Don't lie to me. I know that face."

"Ok, I do like someone but he'd never go for me."

"He?"

"Oops!" Ray squealed as he put his hands over his mouth.

"Oh, that's so cute! Who is he? Do I know him?"

"It's Wreck-it Ralph."

"I can totes see that! You should ask him out!"

"Is it that easy?"

"Yeah. The worst thing he can say is no." Sarah spoke as she took off towards the track with Ray not far behind pondering her words of wisdom.

They reached the track just as the racers were on the final stretch.

"I'm gonna win!" A red-haired girl named Fey Licorice screamed as she approached the finish line, but Vanellope rode her slipstream, stole the lead from her and won the race.

"Yes! I did it! Vanellope squealed as she hopped out of her cart and darted over to Ralph.

"I filled my part of the bargain, now you fill yours."

"Do I have to?" Ralph pouted.

"Go before I hit you with my cart again."

"But how will I find him?" His answer came in the form of a scream that rang out from the other side of the track.

"The league is here!" A random gumdrop exclaimed as an orange robot with huge claws and a porcupine hairdo slashed the rafters in half.

"I am Beastman! I claim Sugar Rush in the name of the League!"

"We've gotta stop him!" Sarah barked as they ran over to the monster.

"Stop!" Ray barked as they stood in front of the behemoth.

"So you're the new Codemaster... Ray was it?"

"You're damn right I am! Codemaster GO!" The rings appeared and so did the armor.

"Codemaster, Kick it up!" Sarah shouted as the rings appeared and created light blue armor.

"Kick it up?" Ray queried.

"Customizable code words. Duh."

"Whatever... Code Card Thunderblade!"

"Code Card Fireblade!" Both blades materialized in their hands as they charged Beastman.

Ray slashed up, but Beastman dodged left and caught some fire in his hair. Sarah jumped off the bleachers and tried to finish it, but Beastman grabbed her and threw her to the floor. Ray came in and slashed him good on his arm.

"Thunderstrike!"

"Blazing Strike!" They charged him together, but he deflected their blows easily with his claws.

He's tough..." Sarah stated as her sword disappeared into lines of code.

"We can take him." Ray informed her as his sword turned into code as well. "Well damn..."

"Dark Hold!" a mysterioius voice shouted as a red armored man threw black chains at Beastman.

"Strike him, now!"

"THUNDERBLAST!" Ray barked as he shot stray electricity into Beastman knocking him out.

"Good work Ray! You looked professional out there!" Sarah shouted as their armor disappeared and she patted him on the back.

"It was nothing." Ray replied as he blushed. "But what about the guy in the red armor. If it wasn't for him, I'd have never gotten that shot in."

"Right. I'll fix this up." Sarah said as she pressed a button and restored the rafters and track to their earlier condition.

"Hey Ray!" a voice shouted from behind him.

"Ralph!"

"Hey... I want to ask you something." Ralph stuttered as he stood with both hands behind his back.

"Me too." Ray replied as the blood rushed to his cheeks.

"Same time?"

"Okay"

"Do you want to go out sometime, like on a date?" They said simultaneously. They both froze at what the other said.

"You want to go out with me?" Ray inquired as he sat on the ground.

"Well... Yeah. You said yes right?" Ralph replied as he mirrors Ray.

"Yeah. Let's say Tuesday?"

"Okay!" Ralph shouted as he hugged Ray tight. Ray reciprocates almost immediately. Vanellope ran over to Ralph side and gave him a thumbs up as Sarah did the same to Ray. Both Ralph and Ray were thinking the same thing. "This is gonna work out just fine."

Thank you for reading! Just a reminder. I DO NOT OWN WRECK-IT RALPH!

REMEMBER TO REVIEW! ;3

Preview: Ray and Ralph's first date goes off without a hitch, unless you count an annoying angry koopa king as a hitch. Ray and Ralph will have to put their date on hold to save the arcade from the threat, or can Ray count on some "extra" help so he can be with Ralph in peace? And who is the myserious codemaster that Ray can't help but fell like he's met before. Stay Tuned!
