A/N: Bet you guys never expected Wreck-It Ralph to be in Kingdom Hearts, huh? That would have been neat, wouldn't it? To play a video game where the world itself is a game as well. I've felt that way when I was playing .Hack. I think it's ironic how my character self is using Kingdom Hearts as a gaming world in the Arcane, wouldn't you say?
World: The Arcade
Sergeant Calhoun, Felix Jr. and I are riding through the skies in Sugar Rush. We can see this game is a candy-themed world. And Sergeant Calhoun called my fake game, Kingdom Hearts, a sissy game. We arrive at the starting trail of Ralph's crash landing, noticing all of the destroyed candy cane trees.
"I gotta say. They don't exactly call your friend 'wreck-it' for nothing." Sergeant Calhoun says.
"Same here." I say. The end of the trail comes within our sights. "The shuttle!"
Sergeant Calhoun and I land our rides by the shuttle. We get off, with Calhoun armed with the gun, and approach the shuttle. We look inside with Sergeant Calhoun aiming her gun in it ready to shoot.
"Is he in there?" Felix Jr. asks.
"Negative." I say.
Serpeant Calhoun retreated her gun from inside the shuttle. "He's lucky. I would have slapped his corpse." Sergeant Calhoun notices the Cybug is gone too. "No Cybug either..." Felix Jr. joins in and Sergeant Calhoun puts away her gun. "We've gotta find it before it lays its filthy eggs."
"Well we need to find Ralph before my game gets unplugged." Felix Jr. says.
I put fingers on my chin, thinking. "It'll take too long to find both." Sergeant Calhoun and Felix Jr. looks at me. "I say we split up to cover more ground. Sergeant, you find the Cybug. Felix and I will look for the joker."
"All right. Be careful out there, boys. If you die outside your game, you don't regenerate." Sergeant Calhoun warns.
I have nothing to worry about that since I don't really live in this world.
Sergeant Calhoun follows around the trail Ralph made, using some tracker to locate the Cybug. Me and felix Jr. slide down the cliff, starting are trail here at the bottom of the cliff. Felix Jr. screams looking ahead. I turn to see there are Heartless. Chocolate Statue, a Gargoyle Heartless made out of chocolate, Bitter Maccaron, an air spell caster like the Red Nocturnes and such, but made out of macaron's, Cruel Sweets, a Red Armor heartless made out of candy.
It's stupid, all the Heartless here are candy themed as well.
"Heartless!" I summon my Keyblade, standing in front of Felix Jr. "Stay back, Felix."
The fight off the Heartless, swinging my Keyblade at them. The Chocolate Statues are tough fighters. They're wet chocolate yet they fight like they're hardened. How the heck is that even possible? I cast Zero Graviga, sending all the Heartless, except the Cruel Sweets who has no effect to it, midair.
I focus on the Cruel Sweets since it's the only attacking Heartless standing. I use my Elsa Charm, activating the D-link. Cruel Sweets makes it strikes with is fists and feet. I block with Holy Shield then counterattack with Counter Aura. I strike at Cruel Sweets, then rush away from it to cast Ice Barrage, causing three pillars of ice, two smalls then a large in between, to raise beneath the Cruel Sweets.
Zero Graviga wears off from the Heartless, I cast Howling Wind, casting a snowy wind at the enemy, it's basically an ice-element version of the Aero spells. Howling Wind finishes off the Bitter Maccaron's and a Chocolate Statue. The Chocolate Salutes strikes at me, but I parry their attacks, I pull them back then cast Blizzarza, shooting an orb of ice at them, it sticks to it for a second then icicles pops right out of it like it came from the inside of the Heartless.
The Chocolate Statues fall, it's now just me and Cruel Sweets. Cruel Sweets strikes with it's marching feet and spinning torso. I dodge the torso and block the feet, then continue attacking. I reach my full power and unleash Let It Go, destroying Cruel Sweets.
My Keyblade vanishes once the Heartless are defeated. "So the Heartless are here too, huh?" I wondered.
"Heartless?" I turn around to see Felix Jr. looking confused. "Is that what they're called?" I nod. "Are they from your game?"
"Uh...sure, let's go with that." I turn around, facing ahead. I look at the distance to find some castle. "Let's head over to that castle. Maybe anyone there might know where your friend is that." We start walking towards the castle, with me in the lead. "With the Heartless around here, we should stay close. Anyways, what's the deal with that wreck-it joker? Why did he go awol?"
"Oh, I wish I knew. Last night was our thirtieth-year anniversary of Fit-It Felix Jr, then he was acting all squrriely about cake and medals...I just never expected him to go Turbo." I was confused at hearing the 'go Turbo' part.
"'Go Turbo'? What the heck does that mean?" I ask.
"That's right! You just go plugged in, didn't you?" Felix Jr. starts explaining the story.
Back then the Arcade first opened, there was a racing game known as 'Turbo Time.' It was, by far, the most popular game, and Turbo loves the attention. But then another racing gamed known as 'Roadblasters' comes in and stoled Turbo's thunder. Consumed by envy, he abandoned his game to join Roadblasters, but his plan backfired and he ended up putting both games and himself out of order...for good!
"Yes, the selfish man is like a mangy dog chasing a cautionary tail." I say.
"I know. That's why I have to get Ralph back or that'll happen to my game." Felix Jr. says.
We have arrived at the gates of the candy castle. I just stand in front of it with Felix Jr. behind me. I grab the hop-pop and knock it on the door. After a moment, the door opens. We look inside to see nothing.
"Yes?" A voice asks. We wondered where that voice came from until we look down to see Sour Bill. "I'm sorry, but King Candy isn't expecting any visitors."
"We're not here to see the king." I say. "We're here too-"
"Sour Bill! Who's at the door?" King Candy comes out seeing me and Felix Jr.
"Oh, I'm Patrick from the new game Kingdom Hearts." I say with a lie. "We're looking for Wreck-It Ralph from..." I turn to Felix Jr. "I'm sorry, I didn't get the name of your game."
"Fit-It Felix Jr." Felix Jr. says.
"Of course..." I turn back to Sour Bill and King Candy. "Anyways, have you seen him?"
"Wreck-It Ralph? Is he big, messy, large hands, halitosis stench, have a bit of a lot of temper?" King Candy says.
"That's him alright." Felix Jr. says.
"Yeah. We saw him! Jump right in a middle of our random race roster and chased away the glitch." King Candy says.
I raise an eyebrow hearing that. "A glitch?"
"Yes. Vanellope Von Schweetz. She arrived when we got plugged in, and she's not really meant to exist." King Candy says. "She's been trying to enter the race ever since, but she somehow got a gold coin and entered the race."
"Sorry about your problems, but where's Ralph?" I ask.
"I don't know. He could be anywhere." King Candy says. "Now, if you two won't mind. I have a glitch to deal with."
"Of course, your candiness." I say.
Me and Felix Jr. turns and start to leave. Looks like we're caught in between a rock and a hard place. Just then, the two guards rushes right in.
"King Candy! We've received report! The glitch is in the bakery!" The donut says.
"What! ...No! She could be making a go-kart for the race!" King Candy says with worry.
The glitch...if Ralph was chasing her, maybe she can lead us to Ralph. "Then let's get to the bakery." I say.
Meanwhile, at the bakery.
"What, are you some wanted criminal?" Ralph asks.
Vanellope asked Ralph to do a little smashing to get into the bakery so she could make a go-kart. But what's stopping him is the giant poster on the door that says 'No glitches allowed' with an angry picture of Vanellope in a don't circle.
"Hey! We made a deal. Don't go backing out, mister." Vanellope says.
Ralph groans then knocks down the sealed door in just one blow. Vanellope rushes right in, with Ralph walks right behind her like he doesn't even care. Ralph notices inside is empty, just curtain walls with 'Select your kart' signs.
"Where are the go-karts?" Ralph asks.
"You gotta make your own." Vanellope says. She runs towards one of the selections and chooses it, then they enter some mini-game where they have to make a go-kart in under a minute.
So they play this little game, making the go-kart, only Ralph has wrecked everything. Well not the first stage, putting ingredients in the bowl. That's Vanellope's doing by putting all the garbage in the bowl. If anything, Ralph tries to fix that one. But he did break the pump for heating up the oven, made it up by blowing into the tube. Nearly died of suffocation even. He did however destroyed everything in the final stage.
All of the icing, sprinkles, frosting. Everything candy themed spills on the conveyor belt, onto Vanellope's go-kart.
"Congratulations, racer! Here's your go-kart!"
In the end, Vanellope's Go-kart is all messed up, all the chocolate, icing and frosting mixed together, using different kind of wheels even. Basically, it's one ugly go-kart. But she loves it anyway.
However, this was a bad time for them. King Candy, me and Felix arrive at the bakery. "We got you now, glitch!" King Candy is surprised to see Ralph. "And Wreck-It Ralph?"
"Felix!" Felix Jr. says with excitement.
"Felix?" Ralph says in confusion.
"Surrender the go-kart!" King Candy says.
Ralphs puts Vanellope in the drivers seat of the go-kart. "Okay! Time to go!" Ralph hops on the back and starts rowing with his large hands like paddles on a boat, and rides the car past us, out of the bakery.
"After them!" King Candy demands.
King Candy gets on his go-kart and Felix Jr. and I hope on my Hoverbike, then we chase after them.
Ralph is running the go-kart like crazy. Me and Felix Jr. are on his tail with King Candy following us from behind. Vanellope tells Ralph to get off the track and he does. Looks like he's trying to shake us off, but I make a sharp turn taking the new path. King Candy had a hard turn, losing some tracks.
We catch up the Ralph and Vanellope. "Pull over!" I shout at them.
"Fat chance!" Vanellope says. She looks up at Ralph. "Head for Diet Cola Mountain."
Ralph rushes the go-kart directly at the mountain, aiming for the two sugar-free lollipops. Vanellope and Ralph are escaping. "They're getting away!" Felix Jr. says. "Can't you make this thing go faster! How about this?"
Felix Jr. reaches over me to push the red button, but I grab his hand and retreat it. "Hey! Never touch the red button! Only I get to work this vehicle!" I barked.
I twist the handlebars, increasing acceleration. We're catching up to Ralph and Vanellope. I become confused seeing them about to ram into the mountain. "What are they doing? They're going to crash!" Felix Jr. says.
I was about to speak until I see then went right through it. "What the!?" I say completely shocked. I was too distracted by my astonishment to his the breaks or turn. I just ram through the wall into the mountains.
King Candy arrives to see we're all gone. What he doesn't know is the hidden entry within the mountain. King Candy wonders where we could have gone. Just then, a dark portal appears and Izu walks right out of it.
"You seem troubled." Izu says.
King Candy turns to see Izu. "The glitch is loose! She's going to ruin all of my hard work!" King Candy says with anxiety.
"I see. You want to still be the ruler of this candy-coated sugar land." Izu says carelessly. "Don't worry. My heartless will take care of the problem." Izu snaps his fingers and the Heartless appears. Candy-theme Heartless and racing Heartless as well. "You just get to your little racing thing."
Inside the mountain, the four of us are getting together. We do somehow end up in an argument. Telling Ralph to come back to his game, but he refuses until he gets his metal back. As it turns out, Vanellope doesn't know how to drive a real go-kart, which puts Ralph into disappointment cause that would mean he an kiss his medal good-bye.
"What is the big whop about this crummy medal?" Vanellope asks.
"This may come to a shock to you, but in my game, I'm the bad guy and I live with garbage." Ralph says.
"Cool." Vanellope seems impressed.
"No! Not cool! All hygienic, and lonely...and boring! And that 'crummy' medal was gonna change all of that!" Ralph says.
Just then, there's a massive explosion and we're all startled. We walk deeper into the caverns to find a huge hot cola springs and a massive of chandelier of mentos.
"What...is that?" I asked.
"It's awesome. Check it out." Vanellope takes a piece of chocolate and tosses it to the tip of the hanging mento. Two of them get knocked off, and as soon as they splash in the hot cola, an explosion bursts a pump of the hot cola.
We were surprised to see this. "Whoa! You could bring down the whole mountain doing that." I say. That aside, I turn to Ralph. "How is a medal going to change everything?"
"Cause last night, we were celebrating our thirtieth year anniversary of Fix-It Felix Jr." So I've heard. "And I got tried of everyone treated me like a criminal! They didn't even invite me and I was an important part of the game."
That's just harsh. "Is that why you left?" Ralph looks at Felix Jr. "All cause we treated you horribly?"
"Sounds like it to me." I point out.
Ralph and Felix Jr. looks at each other. Felix Jr. removes his hat, holding it in front of it. "Well...I'm sorry. You could have just told us. But because of you, we're now out of order and Litwak is pulling our plug." Ralph is surprised to hear that. "We need to get you back."
"Wait!" Vanellope jumps right in the conversation. "What about me? I need to learn how to drive."
I found a solution for this. "Ralph, you and Felix had back to your game and fix things over there. I'll take care of sugar cube here." Just like that, Ralph and Felix Jr. head back. I'm surprised Ralph left with no hesitation. "All right, kid. Let's do this."
"Do you even know how to drive?" Vanellope asks.
I can hear some sass in that tone of hers. "I chased you on my Hoverbike kid."
"Doesn't prove anything." Vanellope says.
"Okay!" I grab Vanellope and plant her in her go-kart. "Let's just forget about it and start the lesson, all right?"
I teach Vanellope a few ropes on how to drive. On the first few attempts, I end up getting bummped, hurt, and crushed by a peanut brittle spike she crashed into. After a couple of failed attempts, she's finally getting the hang of it, racing around the ground track.
"All right! Good work!" I say, cheering on.
"I told yea racing's in my code!" She says as she drives up a ramp.
Her excitement causes her to glitch, and somehow gain more altitude. I was surprised, mostly cause she's about to hit the furtherest mento stick. She hits the tip, causing about six mentos to break and fall into the hot cola. The explosion was big enough to cause the inside of the mountain to shake.
Vanellope lands and continues to drive, then I settle when the area calms down from the explosion. "Huh...they weren't kidding about her being a glitch."
Vanellope drives by me and hits the breaks. "So. How'd I do?" She asks.
I look up at the mentos. "Well...you nearly blow up the mountain." I look down at Vanellope. "You really have to get that glitch under control."
"Okay. Okay. I will." Vanellope says.
"You better." I say. "All right, I'm gonna go catch on ham hands and mr. contractor. You just keep practicing, and work on that glitch."
I leave Vanellope alone in the highly dangerous area hidden in the mountain so she can learn how to drive and control that unstable glitch of hers...Maybe I shouldn't have left her.
The path is surprisingly clear. No sign of Heartless or any of King Candy's servants. There's defiantly no sign of Sergeant Calhoun or that Cybug she's looking for. I'm hoping she's having just as much luck as Felix Jr. and I did.
After a while, I arrive at the game, Fit-It Felix Jr. It's pretty quiet. It's nothing but a night time scenery with a single building in the center. The building is coated in orange light, due to the light from the game screen seeping through the 'Out of Order' poster.
I enter the building. "Hello? ...Anybody here?"
"Oh, you're here." I look at Felix Jr. He seems depressed.
"Felix, what happened? Why's the place empty?" I ask.
"Everybody's gone. After I left, everyone panicked and abandoned ship. It's too late to save our game." Felix Jr. says.
That's not a good thing to hear. "Where's Ralph?"
Felix Jr. moves out of the way, showing me to the terrace Ralph is hanging out at. He's just sitting there, in front of the face of the game screen, looking down in depression. Felix Jr. and I walk right out of the terrace, to his sides.
"It's all my fault." Ralph says. "If I hadn't gone to Heroes Duty...none of this would have happened."
"It's not your fault, Ralph. You didn't mean for this to happen." Felix Jr. says.
Seeing this reminds me of my time back in the Olympus Colosseum. I nearly made the mistake of trusting Hades and killed Hercules just to bring Aqua back from the darkness. If I had sealed that deal, the world would have been driven into chaos.
I look up at the game screen noticing the poster is starting to fall off, one of the corners didn't stick, now it's dangling from the other corner. On the opening view, I see Sugar Rush. I wonder how Vanellope is doing. Vanellope...Suddenly, I noticed something on the side of the console. It's a picture of Vanellope on her race car.
Wait...
"Ralph! Look!" Ralph and Felix Jr. looks up at the screen, directly at Sugar Rush. "It's Vanellope."
"Yeah. What about it?" Ralph asks.
"If I recall, King Candy told us that Vanellope is a glitch, that she's never meant to exist." I say.
"So?" Ralph asks, carelessly.
"If she's never meant to exist...then why is there a picture of her on that console?" I ask. Ralph just looks carelessly confused, but then starts to look surprised. I look down at Felix Jr. He seems to get the idea. "Something's up, and I think a certain royal puffiness knows something."
Meanwhile, in Sugar Rush, Sergeant Calhoun is walking around the twisler field, holding her pistol gun out with the tracker on her. She's still in search for that Cybug.
"Where are you?" She wonders.
Her sensor is acting up, so she gives it a hit, next thing that happens is green dots are appear everywhere in it's beeping like crazy.
Sergeant Calhoun is astonished seeing this. "What the..." Now she's looking all around her. "Where...how is?"
Just then, she falls into some hole. She grabs hold of a twisler, dangling from within the underground. She looks down to see hundreds...no, thousands of Cybug eggs. They glow, dozen by dozen, as a sign of they're about to hatch.
Sergeant Calhoun gets a high view of all this. It's not a pretty sight for her. "Doomsday and Armageddon had a baby and it is ugly!"
