The Princess And The Maverick Vol 2

by SORARULES23

More than a year after Rapunzel and Orion left Corona for separate journeys. Both the Princess of Corona and the Maverick have returned with new friends. Nee challenges to face. Worlds to see. A Kingdom to defend. All the while preparing for the biggest challenge they'll ever face that is soon to come. (A sequel to The Princess And The Maverick: What If?)

4. High Score!

We're Back Folks! 🎉🎉🎉

And before anyone asks. Yes. I saw the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special and I loved it! Way better than A Christmas Story Christmas and I give that MCU special a 🎄 out of ten! 😁👍

And I also saw the Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 trailer. Regardless of how the film will end. Whether someone lives or dies. It will not affect the plans I have of the characters I have in my story. Because the Guardians members like Rocket, Drax and Groot are all based on the Square Enix video game. Not the MCU.

Now that that's out of the way. Let me say this chapter will be an epic one. It's something I always wanted to see in a Wreck It Ralph film or video game. And it will feature cameos. References you're not expecting. And because Shawn Mendes is now casted as Orion's Singing voice.

(I've changed it for the other times he sung in previous chapters and the previous story as well. 👍😉)

This chapter will feature two songs from Lyle Lyle Crocodile! 😁🐊

So before we begin. Let me answer a few comments.

SPYRO 101: Oh don't worry. Just because Orion doesn't remember about his old home now doesn't mean he won't remember later. You'll see soon enough. Thanks alot for helping me write this chapter pal! 👍

RustyPete12: Thank you! Oh trust me. Hong Kong 97 was horrible. It had to be brought to shame in that last chapter. But don't worry. These other games they'll visit will be real fun. And Orion's reaction to the next game will leave everyone in stitches. 👍😉

Alright! Now that we're all here!

LET'S GET DANGEROUS! 😎

---

High Score!

Back down in Game Central Station…..

After the Guardians took down that Hong Kong 97 Heartless and saved the Ninja Turtles arcade game...God that sounds weird outloud. And all that was left was to deal with four other games that have been corrupted into bad video games. Thanks to some Heartless viruses that are on the verge to take over the arcade if not taken down.

Thanks to Maverick. Verum Rex and the other Guardians who are with them. Including Rapunzel. They managed to save one. And now four more. Needless to say. Orion was very unhappy to hear what the next game was that they needed to head into. With the team standing behind him, Orion was standing up at the entry gate of the next game. Glaring up hard at the title of the game.

'Five Nights At Freddy's 2.0'

"Just when I thought this game would fade from the puke that made it." Orion seethed looking up hatfully at the title.

"He really hates those Five Nights At Freddy's games." Friday whispered to Rapunzel while they stood behind him looking concerned.

"I can see that." Rapunzel whispered back to Friday. "But what exactly is this game about that it's making Ryan so agitated?"

Orion slowly turned around and gave everyone looking at him a blank stare. Because he heard Rapunzel ask the question due to his super hearing.

"I'll explain. Slowly. This game is much different from other Indie Horror games. Because-" Orion tried to say.

"Uh..I didn't know India made famous horror games." Goofy pondered.

"No. India is a famous horror game." Orion stated and looked to the readers. "Apologies to Indians everywhere. That jab was meant for the spams."

"Indie is actually short for Independent. As in these type of games are made by single game experts who aren't working for any type of known gaming company. Some became famous not only in cellular games. But also in puzzle games. Simulators but also horror games." Hoshi explained to Rapunzel, and the others incase they didn't know, like Goofy.

"So this game was made by only one person?" Rapunzel concluded.

"No. Whoever made the game actually had help. Indie games are often made by more than one person." Friday stated.

"And in games like Slenderman. Players ran for there lives. For games like Amnesia. They tried to stay sain. But for Five Nights At Freddy's. There's only one way to play it." Yozora stated as he grinned at Orion. "Go ahead, Vegas. Say it."

"I'll tell you how it's played. Sitting on your ass doing absolutely NOTHING!" Orion bellowed as his hair was steaming.

'Except keeping an eye out for jumpscares.' PRO snorted.

'Gawd this game is booooring!' TEC groaned.

Rapunzel looked stumped at that.

"That sounds almost as bad as Hong Kong 97." Rapunzel stated with a deadpan look.

"So how do we play?" Donald asked.

"You play as the night guard for a Pizza parlor. Which looks like a parody of Chuck E Cheeses. During the day the animatronic animals are the highlights. But at night they come to life. And we're supposed to watch the cameras and make sure they don't jump out to attack us while we sit in front of the security monitors in the night guards room." Yozora explained how the game works.

"So we just sit back and just stare at a bunch of robot animals so they don't try to scare us?" Rapunzel asked nervously with an eye twitch. "Hehe. The more you talk about this game, the more I think it's WORSE than Hong Kong 97."

"And get this. We have to do this until six am in the morning." Hoshi facepalmed herself. Even she didn't like this game.

"Oh brother. How did a game like this get so many sequels?!" Donald critiqued.

Orion grimaced the more he heard about the game and thought about it. And then he exhaled. And took a calm deep breath.

"You know what? I don't care. I'm gonna play this game. My way. The rest of you. Wait here. This won't take long." Orion said in a scary mildly sadisticly calm voice as he popped his knuckles.

"Something tells me we're going to be hearing quite a few explosions before he returns." Rapunzel said with a nervous smile, knowing her brother.

"Oh and Spike? You're with me since you're the key and all. Just...Don't mind the mess. And make sure your earplugs are in." Orion requested for Yozora to join him inside while he formed a neon and fiery version of the blades of chaos in his hands. The spinning blades from God Of War. Hinting that it's about to get violent.

"Well, this should be interesting." Yozora said before summoning his Keyblade. "I'll see you guys in a bit then."

Once Yozora and Orion walked in through the game entry gate. It was quiet for a few minutes. Until Friday got the idea.

"Take a few steps back. We don't wanna be close incase of scattered sparks and ashe." Friday warned the team as they backed up a bit.

"Especially when Orion is like this." Hoshi said, taking a step back.

"Yeah. I think that's a good idea." Rapunzel said with a nervous chukle as she took a few steps back.

"Gawrsh, do you really think it's going to get that bad?" Goofy asked as he stepped back.

"This is Orion we're talking about!" Donald exclaimed as he took a few steps back.

Then suddenly one of the famous video game bad guys came walking by. Dr Robotnik. Or as some people call Dr Eggman. he walked by and greeted the team.

"Salutations, intellectually inferior but effective friends! I was called in by Sonic to let you know that the third entry gate will be ready for you." Eggman said to them.

Then Tails walked up next to him. The yellow two tailed fox and partner of Sonic.

"We cleared the entry gate of any counter measures so Yozora's key thingy can work on it." Tails assured.

Rapunzel looked on with a jaw dropped.

"Oh my Goodness. It's Tails and Dr. Robotnik! It's so nice to meet you!" Rapunzel said excitedly before she paused and looked at the villain. "Wait. Sonic called you to help? I thought you and Sonic were always at each other's throats."

"Bah! That's only part of our game job. That's the role of us bad guys. You see, in the arcade. We are to be a nemesis when the game starts. Take that guy for example." Eggman explained and pointed at the bad guy behind them.

"What gu-WAAAK!" Donald jumped in fright while the others looked more or less frightened.

It was the Zombie from the video game House Of The Dead. Moaning as he was walking guy in his green Frankenstein like skin. Faded hair and brown tattered cloths. As he looks at the Guardians with his crossed eyes.

"Whaaaat...would house of dead be...If they're nooo deaaad...uuuh...?" Zombie pointed out in his groan before he resumed walking and limping by.

"Wow…Uhhhh….Okay….That was both creepy and cool at the same time." Rapunzel muttered nervously

Then the two other video game characters they met earlier came walking over to the team.

"Hey guys. What are you waiting out here for?" Vanellope walked over with Wreck It Ralph.

"And where's the spiky haired and red skin guy?" Ralph asked noticing that Orion and Yozora wasn't with them.

"They went inside this game here and told us to wait out here while they dealt with what ever was causing the problems inside it." Rapunzel explained.

"And how are they handling it?" Ralph asked curiously.

"You'll hear it soon enough." Friday assured sarcastically.

Then suddenly in the middle of their conversation...

***BOOOOOOOOOOM!***

A puff of smoke came out from the entry gate of as the explosion inside was loud. Most of the game characters that were walking by stopped to look as the team were startled. All except for Friday who stood with her arms crossed and an amused grin while she tapped her foot and then took the time to file her nails.

Other noises were heard.

***Gun Shots!***

***Horse neighs!***

***Elephant roar***

***Car crash!***

***Screaming!***

They all flinched together at the sounds while Friday was humming and filing her nails still. She was used to moments like this.

Then they could hear Orion screams spasticity.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT BITCH BUNNY?!" Orion echoed. "LET'S SEE WHERE ELSE THAT GUITAR GOES!"

***Punching noises and a shoving noise!***

"GAAAAH!" The character named Bonnie the Bunny screamed high-pitched inside.

"HERE COMES THE L'ORANGE! BABY!" Orion echoed with a maniac luagh. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

***CHAINSAW SCRAPING!***

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Chiko the Duck screamed in agony inside.

Then they see Foxy the one eyed pirate fox try to run out. But was caught by a large neon hand.

"Mommy..." He whimpered before being yanked back in.

***flame noises***

"Yooooooowch!" Foxy screamed.

All of the game characters gulped at the sounds. Even Aaron Black from Mortal Kombat was listening in fear while sweating bullets. Pac-Man even stood there with his jaw dropped and his eyes dilated in fear.

And even Satine the devil looking guy fiddled with the handle of his pitchfork as he chartered his teeth. "Yeah...This is too much." He muttered as he scooted away.

"Gawrsh. It sounds like Orion's not holding back at all." Goofy said with a gulp.

"Ya think?! It sounds like a mass murder is going on beyond this gate!" Donald exclaimed, scared as well.

"And this is only the second game." Rapunzel said with a nervous smile. "I just hope the other games we visit don't trigger Ryan's more insane tendencies like this one."

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen, sister." Friday said with a smug amused smirk.

"Unfortunately she's right. This might just only be the beginning." Hoshi said with a sigh.

"Yeah, you're probably right." Rapunzel said with a resigned sigh. "I'm just glad that most of it is just his joking antics rather than actual insanity."

"Can't get enough of that golden crisp~ It's strong to the crunch with PUNCH!~" Orion spazzed as he punch something's head off.

***PUNCH!***

Then the head of the animatronic Freddy Fazbear fell out of the game entry right in front of them.

Everyone looked disturbed by this.

"Meh. I've had my robots get blown up all the time." Dr Eggman shrugged.

Then suddenly they heard the sound of the beam from Yozora's keyblade go off. A key being unlocked and the entire game inside flashed like the morning sun. Then suddenly the game magically shifted inside. And a new sign flashed in front of the name of the game.

'FLICKY'

"Huh? This was. The game the whole time?" Donald inquired.

"Oh! I remember this one! My son Max used to enjoy playing this when he was a munchkin! It's an old classic 'bird being chased by a cat' type game. Ahyuck!" Goofy beamed seeing it.

"Oh yeah! This one's a classic platformer. But it's over in a few seconds if you don't know how to avoid the cats. This game was my tutor in hand to eye coordination." Hoshi remarked seeing it.

"It sure is cool to see the return of another Saga game." Tails smiled up at the sign.

Rapunzel had a relieved smile on her face.

"Well I'm glad this game was fixed. And it turns out to be one of the fun classics." Rapunzel said looking at the sign.

Just then. Orion walked out looking just fine as he was whistling the tune to 'Stronger Than Ever Before' As he was spinning his keyblade with his finger like a cop's baton while walking smoothly out. Everyone was blown away that after all of the violent noises they heard inside. He seemed okay.

He walked by and picked up the Freddy Fazbear head with the tip of his keyblade flicked it in the air before he shot it with a neon beam from his finger without looking and shattered it.

"I thought you atleast would be covered in blood." Friday snorted seeing her husband alright.

"If this was the Ghostbusters 2016 game, there would be a lot of green everywhere." Orion quipped.

Then Yozora walked out of the game and joined the team. He took a deep breath and looked up at the sign before he pointed back at it while looking at the team.

"...Yeah." Yozora deadpanned.

This was just another one of Orion's typical crazed moments. But at least no one loss their lunch this time.

"Kay! So what's the third game?" Hoshi asked out loud to get past that awkward moments.

"Well. The third gate is under the title of some game called. Flappybird?" Tails answered

The Guardians groaned hearing that name.

"Uuugh...That game makes all birds look bad." Donald groaned loudly.

Rapunzel just looked confused with Pascal looking the same way.

"Flappybirds? What is that like a flying game or something?" Rapunzel asked.

"If flying gave you a level eight stress level with no hope of improvement. Then yeah, sort of." Friday exhaled.

"Come on. Let's get this over with." Yozora gestured everyone to follow the team.

Vanellope and Ralph were wondering what could be so bad about this game. It's was starting to sound like this game was worse. If only they knew. But then Vanellope's eyes lit up as she hatched an idea. And she ran up to the team from behind.

"Yoohoo!" Vanellope waved getting some of their attention. Mostly Rapunzel, Pascal and Hoshi.

"Yes Vanellope?" Hoshi answered.

"Not to sound invasive or anything. But see I got a trademark glitching ability. And I was figuring if maybe, you guys needed a little help for this one. Whatever was painful about the last one, I could make it go quickly." Vanellope confidently offered.

"Woah woah, Vanellope. That's too dangerous. I mean...What if those virus things inside can glitch inside too?!" Ralph argued.

"Then I can simply match their magic with their mayhem." Vanellope shrugged and looked at the team. "Come on! What do ya say?"

Rapunzel and Hoshi looked at each other.

"It could speed things up for us." Hoshi figured.

"And catch the heartless by surprise." Rapunzel added before turning to Vanellope. "Okay, Vanellope. We accept your help."

"Yes!" Vanellope bumped her fist making Ralph sulk for a second.

But then Ralph shook it off and clasped his big hands together.

"Well if she's going than so am I." Ralph declared as he pointed at himself.

"You're sure about this, Ralph? This could be painful for someone as anxious as you." Vanellope inquired.

"Anxious?! Oh please! I may be easily on edge and apprehensive, but that doesn't make me anxious." Ralph said confidently with his arm crossed and a grin.

"Uh uh sure." Vanellope scoffed. "Come on. Let's head to that third entry gate."

Rapunzel smiled at their friendly banter. While she and the team made it over to the third game's entry gate. Which had the 'Flappy Bird' title displayed over the entry. The team wasn't that excited to play it. All of the other video game characters were a bit disturbed from the onslaught earlier. While some from Mortal Kombat were excited as they ran to go get some popcorn.

The only thing blocking their way inside was a brick wall built around the entry gate.

"Fun fact. This game got removed from the app store for being negatively addictive and overused." Friday stated to Rapunzel.

"And now the way to the game is being blocked by a brick wall because of it." Rapunzel said before muttering to the team. "I wonder what game this will turn back into once the heartless are dealt with."

"Irony. The game that me and Spike walked in earlier was a Heartless." Orion remarked.

"Alright. Stand back I got this." Ralph came up.

Then he balled his firsts and threw a strong punch into the brick wall.

***SMASH!***

And the brickwall shattered from Ralph's giant fists.

"Smooth move, Donkey Kong!" Orion complemented and looked at the readers. "The fourth wall is still mine."

"Nice work, Ralph! Now we can get to the game." Rapunzel said with a happy smile.

"No need for thanks. It's a living." Ralph wiped his hands confidently.

Then as the team walked inside of the game. They didn't know what they were in for.

---

Inside Flappy Bird...

The team now stood in front of the Flappy Bird Menu, which showed a ball-shaped bird flapping in the air, and two menu choices, start, or score. The score button lights up, and the bird started to flap in the air, nearing segments of green pipes. The bird would either flap up or drop down to fly through the gaps left by the pipes. And every time the bird even grazed a pipe, there was a flash, and the bird would fall to the ground, with the words game over apearing in the sky.

"To answer your question. This is Flappy Bird." Friday deadpanned looking at Rapunzel, Pascal. Ralph and Vanellope.

"Uh is it just me? Or do those pipes look familiar?" Ralph pondered.

"They kinda look like that short plumper guy...What's his name again?" Vanellope scratched her chin as she looked down while thinking.

Just then the face of the bird disappeared on the bird. With just it's wings displayed. Then some letters appeared.

***'Who would like to volunteer?'***

"Ooh! Ooh! I will! I will!" Ralph volunteered excitedly with his hand raised.

"Uh... Are you sure that's a good idea?" Vanellope said with a sweat-drop look.

"Oh come on. How bad could it be? I got this." Ralph said confidently, waving off any concerns.

'You'll be sorrrryyyyyy~' PRO and TEC sanged.

Then suddenly some words appeared as different colored birds appeared on the logo.

***'Pick a color.'***

"Red!" Ralph picked.

Then suddenly fadded. And suddenly his head appeared in between the wings of the Flappy Bird. Thus he became the flappy bird. Ralph panicked at first until he realized what he was now. Ralph's head on a red flappy bird body.

"Hey! What's going on?! I'd...say this is pretty cool!" Ralph got excited. "Haha! Say guys! Check me out. I'm like a bird now!"

"You are a bird, Ralph!" Vanellope called out.

"Remind me to alert the paramedics." Orion whispered to Rapunzel and Friday.

Both girls nodded before the game started, and Ralph started to excitedly flap towards the pipes. And just as he was about to enter the upper pipe...

*POW!*

"AHAHAOOOW!" Ralph screamed as he fell to the ground with a loud thud, the words, Game Over appearing up above."

The team winced at the sight.

Then the restart menu appeared with Ralph's bird head hovering as he shook his head. "Ugh that hurt..." He winced.

"You're supposed to avoid the pipes, Ralph!" Donald called out.

"Yeah! No one can go inside!" Goofy added. "Trust me I've tried!"

Ralph groaned as he shook his head.

"Yeah, yeah I got it now." Ralph said before the game started again.

Only this time, with Ralph taking the game more seriously as he flapped towards the pipes and went through the first set.

"Haha! You see that!? I made it through the first one!" Ralph cheered, no longer being serious, which led him to graze the second set of pipes.

*POW!*

"OOOOOW!" Ralph screamed as he once again fell to the ground with a loud thud, the words, Game Over appearing up above.

Pascal winced at the sight.

"You think we should give him a few more tries?" Hoshi meekly asked as she was trying not to laugh.

"Yes, please. This is hilarious." Friday snorted.

"I think he might get it this time." Rapunzel said trying to sound optimistic.

Ralph then started up again. And this time, he was not gonna let anything distract him. He flew through the first set. And then a moment later, he flew through the second set. He was determined to go all the way. But as he was passing through the third set, his wing barely grazed the corner of the bottom part of the pipe.

*POW!*

"AAAAAAH!" Ralph screamed as he once again fell to the ground with a loud thud, the words, Game Over appearing up above.

"OH COME ON! I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THAT ONE!" Ralph shouted in frustration.

"It touched your big toe." Orion smirked.

"I DON'T HAVE A BIG TOE!" Ralph screamed.

Vanellope sighed. "If you want something glitched right, you gotta glitch it yourself." She stated as the game started back up.

Vanellope zoomed over to the first pipe. And touched it. Causing all of the other pipes to glitch like her. The pipes kept flickering with 0s and 1s like she does and in different colors.

"Woah. She just glitched all the pipes. So now they are intangible." Friday said impressed.

Ralph seemed confused at first when he was about to accidentally hit another pipe. He didn't feel it. He just phased right through it and flapped on.

"Huh? Say….Haha! It worked! Thanks, Kid!" Ralph exclaimed happily.

"Part of my day job, Stinkbreath!" Vanellope waved at Ralph.

Then Ralph was able to finally flap pass most of the pipes this time. And with a breeze without worrying about getting hit. This was exciting for Ralph. As he was scoring up to 20 to 50 pipe points this time.

"Irony is there's not one player that was able to get past a thousand pipes. The few that tried start rumors on what the final boss was." Orion stated to Rapunzel.

"Well, hopefully, the final boss here isn't all that challenging. But I do wonder, what does happen when you go passed a thousand?" Rapunzel asked in thought.

"I heard a rumor that the game gets super deep once you get past a thousand. Like you'll be able help Flappy Bird get revenge on the hunter that murdered his family." Orion stated.

'I heard Flappy Bird ends up getting a failing heart and has two days left to live!' TEC sobbed and beamed. 'But you end up kickstarting a fundraiser to gain enough money for a successful heart surgery!'

'I heard Flappy Bird will find the magic stone to save the fish people.' PRO stated.

'I overheard Flappy Bird is revealed to be a girl! Ew!' TEC seethed.

'I overheard Flappy Bird gives birth to twins.' PRO revealed.

"I overheard there's a sex scene later in the game." Orion grinned.

'EEEEW!' TEC gagged.

"A lesbian sex scene." Orion smirked.

'Now we're takin.' PRO remarked.

"Do people really come up with those kinds of theories?" Rapunzel asked with a stifled giggle.

"Unfortunately, those are just the mildly absurd theories compared some of the more outlandish ones." Friday said with an eye roll and a sigh of exasperation.

"HEY GUYS! I MADE IT PASS 980 PIPES!" Ralph echoed in the background.

"Waaak! Already?!" Donald exclaimed in disbelief as the team looked over.

And they saw that it was now climbing above 980 pipe points.

"Oh yeah...I forgot the game would pick up speed at a certain point." Yozora figured.

"I figured that would be the case. But I didn't think it would happen this quickly." Hoshi said.

"Well, we're just twenty away from the final boss at least." Rapunzel said optimistically.

"Yeah. But what is the final boss?" Goofy pondered.

Then suddenly as Ralph made it to a 999 pipes. He was feeling thrilled. When suddenly they saw some giant cartoon bullets flying towards him.

"Huh?! What! Hey! Who's shooting those?!" Ralph screamed as he was flapping to avoid the bullets.

"I aaaam!" A voice called.

"Huh?!" Everyone inquired and looked over.

They saw someone small standing on the last pipe straight ahead with a hunting rifle. Wearing a hunter's uniform themed after Elmer Fudd. And the short guy had a mustache.

"It's a-me! Hunter Mario!" Mario greeted with a wave.

"MARIO?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Sweet mother of monkeymilk! He's the final boss battle?!" Vanellope yelled in shock as she stood on a tree near by.

"I have-a come to-a finish the job-a." Hunter Mario declared. "First your parents. And now-a you Flappy Bird!"

Orion's jaw was dropped. "And I thought I was joking." He remarked about the hunter back story he made up.

"WAAK?! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Donald exclaimed in shock.

"I Don't think he is, Donald." Yozora said, getting into a fighting stance. "He looks pretty serious."

"But why? Why would one of the world's greatest Arcade Game Heroes be the bad guy?" Rapunzel asked in shock.

"Because he's not." Hoshi said, getting everyone's attention as she pointed at Mario. "Look closely, at his Hat."

Everyone looked at him and saw that on his hat, where a big heart emblem with an X. In the place of where the M should be, this was an obvious symbol.

"Hey! That's the Heartless Emblem!" Goofy exclaimed.

"So we're not dealing with the real Mario, but a Heartless that got confused and became a cross between Mario and Elmer Fudd." Friday said while cracking her knuckles.

Orion got in front of the team. Getting the sense that this would be a long fight. Since this is a cartoon based game. He figured the programming will follow the same principle as any cartoon.

"Hold on. I know how to deal with these overly confident cartoon types." Orion held his hand up and teleported up to Hunter Mario.

He stood behind Hunter Mario as he was about to shoot the approaching Ralph Bird and Vanellope. As they kept missing all of his giant bullets.

Then Orion grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him around to face him, wagging a disapproving finger in his face.

"For shame, Mack. Hunting Ralph Birds with an elephant gun." Orion said to him in a disappointed tone.

"Elephant-a gun?" Hunter Mario said while confused as he looked at his gun.

"That's right, Mack. So why don't you go shoot yourself an Elephant?" Orion said as he pointed behind Hunter Mario.

making the villain turn to see an angry 62-bit elephant standing on his two hind legs like a person.

"You do, and I'll give ya such a pinch!" The 62-bit elephant snapped at Hunter Mario before he placed his left fist on top of his head, and then brought his right fist down on top of his left fist hard.

*WHAM!*

Hunter Mario was knocked into the ground with his head still above ground, stars dancing around his head as the 62-bit elephant began to walk away.

Then Ralph safely flapped passed the KO'ED Hunter Mario. And then he finally scored 1000 pipes.

And the words displayed 'WINNER!' over him flapping.

"Wait, it's over? IT'S OVER! I mean I won! Yeah, but mostly IT'S OVER! HAHA!" Ralph echoed as he cheered.

"WOOOHOOOO!" Vanellope glitched passed Ralph as they raced to the end.

Then suddenly Orion teleported back over with the team.

"Um...Where did the elephant come from?" Hoshi asked confusingly.

"First rule of cartoons. Don't ask questions. Just have fun." Yozora remarked.

"Tis the way of life." Orion quipped.

"Well, either way, we just beat this game." Hoshi said after shaking her thoughts of the elephant in the room away.

"Yeah. We won." Goofy said happily.

"Oh boy!" Donald cheered.

"Whew! Thank goodness." Rapunzel sighed with relief. "Now the game should return to what it was before."

"The question is, what that game is." Friday commented.

Then suddenly the keyhole was revealed at the last pipe under where Hunter Mario is buried. So Yozora pointed his keyblade at the pipe. And caused a beam to shoot out into the magical keyhole. And a lock was heard as the game flashed. And suddenly. A bright light flashed over all of them. Then suddenly as the light fadded. Ralph was back to normal and standing next to Vanellope who stood next to the team. They were standing somewhere different and familiar.

And everyone was in awe at the sight.

---

Behind them was a beautiful fountain, and in front of them was a bridge. And beyond that bridge was a path that lead to a red and white castle, with flags on the towers. And on the flags were Mushrooms with dotted eyes. This was Princess Peach's Castle. And the Game they were standing in now was the game of Mario.

"Wooow...The mushroom kingdom of Mario." Hoshi said in awe. "This looks so much better in person."

"Definitely." Yozora agreed with a nod.

"I'll take this over Flappy Bird by a mile." Friday said with her arms crossed.

"So, this was Mario's game the whole time?" Rapunzel muttered before her eyes widened in realization. "Does that mean that Hunter Mario was actually Mario when corrupted by Darkness?"

"Does that answer your question?" Orion pointed at the pipe across in the grass.

Suddenly Mario rose out through his classic pipe exit beeping noise and he ran over and jumped from his classic jump affect towards the team. And he waved at them once he stood in front of the Guardians.

"Hi-ya! It's-a me! Mario!" Mario greeted as he was back to his normal self and he looked over at Ralph and Vanellope. "Hello Ralph! Um...Where was I the lasr few minutes?"

"Well...It's kinda a long story. I mean you tried to shoot at us and then the pipes and the birds and..." Ralph tried his best to explain.

"Don't worry about it, Mario. Just be glad you missed the whole thing." Vanellope waved it off with a smile.

"Oh. Okay." Mario nodded.

Rapunzel started to hyperventilating at the sight of Mario, excitement building up inside her. But she tried to keep her composure and not go overboard this time around. So she took a couple deep breaths to compose herself before she took a few steps forward on her bare feet and held her hand out to Mario.

"Hello, Mario. I'm Rapunzel." Rapunzel introduced herself. "It's so nice to meet you. I'm such a huge fan."

"Cool restraint." Orion whispered a tease making Rapunzel giggle lightly as she playfully shoved her brother away making him snicker.

"Nice-a to meet you-a too." Mario shook her hand back. "You-a and your friends are welcome to visit whenever the arcade-a is closed-a."

"We'll be sure to schedule it in. But for now. We got a few more games to fix." Yozora reminded the team.

"Honestly, Spike. If you ask me. This one was a breeze compared to the last two." Orion shrugged.

"That might be so. But you seemed to have been enjoying yourself reek havoc in the last game." Yozora commented.

"He most certainly did." Hoshi agreed.

Well of course he did. He got to act like a total psycho." Friday said with a smirk and her arms crossed.

"Yeah. He was a little scary during that game." Goofy said.

"A little scary?! He was outright terrifying!" Donald exclaimed.

Rapunzel just giggled at it all.

"Well, either way, it's three games down, and two more to go." Rapunzel said.

"Better to live insane than die sensible." Orion muttered as the team began walking out of the game of Mario.

So far the team was making progress. And since this last one was a breeze. Hopefully the last one will be easier. But given that these Heartless invested games are very unpredictable. Orion is going to remain on his toes. Yozora was thinking the same thing.

Back In Game Central Station...

So the team, Ralph and Vanellope went up to the third game entry gate. Which was displayed with a similarly strange title.

"Shouldn't it be called Just Dance?" Orion inquired.

***'Just Sing'***

"Probably. But I don't think the Heartless really care about that." Friday scoffed at the sign.

"Looks like the Heartless changed the game from being a dancing game to a singing clue." Goofy said, scratching his chin.

"Gee, what was your first clue?" Donald said with an eye roll.

"The Heartless have no sense of creativity." Yozora commented with a shake of his head.

"Well, that's at least good for us." Hoshi added.

"A singing game? Now this is a game that's in my wheel house!" Rapunzel said with a cocky smirk, with Pascal nodding in agreement.

"No..." Orion mocked a gasp."I figured by the Barbie Dollish looks and animal side-kick, you were actually a chef."

"Hmph! Shows what you know. I happen to be an excellent baker as well as a phenomenal singer." Rapunzel said with a smug look before smiling warmly. "Plus, I still have that music album you made for me for my birthday. I've listened to all your songs at least a hundred times now since I love your singing."

"And you love my cooking. Who prepared the birthday banquet?" Orion teased as he reminded her of the cake and dinner Orion prepared for her birthday that day.

"Hmm... Let me think..." Rapunzel said with a teasing look, knowing full well it was her brother who did that for her, but couldn't pass up a chance to mess with him a little. "Was it Bobby Flay?"

Orion gave a deadpanned stare. "Jesus Christ, it's like they mutated you into a Hallmark card." He deadpanned.

Rapunzel broke into laughter.

"That is the worst thing you've ever said to me. Everyone knows my words are far better than any Hallmark Card." Rapunzel said with false hurt while giving a Goofy smile.

"Of course they are. Alan Menken wrote all of her lyrics." Orion muttered to the readers. Before he looked at Rapunzel. "Are we gonna get in that Digital American Idol or keep having a mild lute battle?"

"I was waiting for you to say let's go. You're the leader here, aren't you?" Rapunzel said with an amused smirk.

"If you guys don't move it soon, I'll take charge as the leader. And you both won't like what I command." Friday threatened with an exasperated look with a small smile.

"Technically I'm the leader aren't I?" Yozora inquired.

"In the same rank as me, Man." Orion deadpanned as they began to walk in.

The team were all hoping this one will be a wild one if not an easy one.

Inside the Just Dance game…..

After going through the game's entry gate, the team went up the escalator towards a colorful rainbow door. As it lit up in a formation like some kind of gigantic board game.

"Oh look, a rainbow. Nothing bad ever comes from a rainbow." Ralph noticed.

"Try telling that to CW." Orion quipped a fourthwall joke.

Then they all walked in and went past the lights suddenly. Everything was going dark as they went further in. So dark they couldn't see themselves or each other. They couldn't even see their hands.

"Okay? Did I forget my Pearle Vision appointment or is everything dark?" Orion inquired

"It's not just you, Man. The whole area is dark." Yozora said.

"I can't even see my hand in front of my face." Hoshi said.

"Can someone please turn on the lights? I'm starting to get a little creeped out here." Vanellope spoke out from the dark.

"Don't worry, fellas! I think I found a light switch!" Goofy called out to everyone.

"I think I just found one too." Ralph said before both he and Goofy started pulling.

"OW! THAT'S MY BEAK AND TAIL, YOU IDIOTS!" Donald shouted in pain.

"Oops. Sorry." Both Goofy and Ralph apologized.

"Hey, Glowstick! Maybe you could add some light to the subject before our resident Qwacker gets ripped in half?" Friday called out to her husband.

"Got it, Babe." Orion responded as he held his hands out. "Damn I hope I don't get sued for this. But...FLAME ON!"

Orion's hands lit up with a bright fire on them. And his skin was glowing red from his neon abilities. So far he was bright enough to see everyone and vice versa. But not enough to see where they are.

"Oh no! Orion's on fire! Quick everyone! Find a bucket of water!" Ralph panicked.

"Awe don't worry, Orion alright. He has the power to make and control fire." Goofy explained to Ralph.

"Absolutely. It's all in the thumbs so don't-" Orion tried to assure.

"Found one!" Vanellope called out as she tossed some water out of a bucket.

Orion quickly constructed a neon riot shield to block the incoming splash.

*Splash!*

Orion placed the shield down and cleared his throat.

"Oops." Vanellope meekly responded.

"And I'm born with the trademark Forge motto in my genes. And X-Genes. 'Be ready or else'. It's how my bloodline got rich." Orion remarked as he walked over to look for a light switch.

"It's how he got richer actually." Friday remarked as she tried looking around.

Then suddenly everyone but Orion and Rapunzel felt themselves being pulled.

"Woaaaah!" The team screamed. And suddenly they grunted as they felt that they landed on something strangely soft.

"Guys?! Are you okay?!" Rapunzel called out.

"Yeah but we're stuck!" Goofy called out.

"We can't get up!" Donald exclaimed.

Then suddenly two spotlights switched on and shined over Rapunzel and Orion. Then an announcer voice spoke in the background.

*"Congraaaaaatulations! Rap-Pretzel and Orange! You have both bend selected to compete in Juuuuuust Sing!"* The announcer guy spoke like a game show host.

"What did he call us?" Orion inquired as he and Rapunzel looked around.

*"Buuuut this won't be just any singing competition! Oh no no no my victims- I mean friends! This will be a singing and cooking game. Between two siblings teaming up to save the game from the corruption of yours truly!"* the announcer declared.

Then suddenly the lights came on. The rest of the team were seated on a row of audience seats like they were sitting back in some kind of studio watching a TV game show. They looked to see that Orion and Rapunzel were standing in some kind of large kitchen.

The kitchen was large with four cooking stations with electric and gas stoves and ovens connected to them. The counters on each station are in a different color, being red, yellow, green. and blue. Like a giant board game. And to the sides were stations where they kept the ingredients. There were even several large kitchen steel fridges loaded with food of every choice.

"A cooking and singing game?!" Rapunzel gawked looking around in disbelief and exasperation.

"You gotta be shitting me! When did America's Got Talent get mixed in with Kitchen Casino?!" Orion snapped up at the voice.

*"Easy on the fumes, Kiddo! I'm a Heartless after all. I'm not supposed to make sense!"* The announcer muser.

"Then how are you even talking? Aren't Heartless supposed to be unintelligent?" Rapunzel inquired with her arms crossed.

*"Good Question, Rab Zundel! You see um….. well...That's not important! What is important is that you pass this competition together as a duo. And if you fail. This game will remain in its dark viral corruption until you succeed."* The announcer answered.

"That's it? I thought you were gonna say something like 'If you don't succeed this game will beeeeeeee decimated!' Or something." Orion mocked the announcer's voice with a snort.

*"I would do that if I could, Or-Idea. But like your big sister Rebecca stated! I'M NOT THAT SMART!"* The announcer beamed while getting Rapunzel's name wrong again.

"You can say that again." Donald gambled from the audience seats.

*"I'M NOT THAT SMART!"* The announcer repeated.

"WAAAAK! SHUT UP!" Donald exclaimed in anger.

"Guys, whether we like it or not. We can't do anything about it." Ralph realized before looking at Orion and Rapunzel. "But they can."

"You can do it, Para-Sibs! Just beat this place at its own game! Literally!" Vanellope called out.

"Vanellope's right. We can do this. We'll play along with this game and take it all back in the end." Rapunzel said to Orion in a confident voice.

Orion took a huge deep breath. "This won't be like F.N.A.F. this won't be like that borehole." Orion grimaced and muttered as he paced back and forth. Before he exhaled. "Ah ***k it. Tell us, Invisible Voice! how do we play? Spill it before the epinephrine kicks in."

***"It's quiiiiiite simple, Morgan!"*** The Announcer answered.

"It's Maverick, Dickweed." Orion hissed.

***"It's quiiiiiite simple, Maverick Dickweed! We'll give you the countdown and the tuuuune! All you have to do is cook us up a five star dish while singing to the tune. Buuuuut...Here's the catch!"*** The announcer stated.

"You know when you start off with 'all you have to do' there is no catch." Orion interrupted with a cynical tone.

***'ZIP IT, MACY! Achem. Anyhoooow. You'll have to make a dish, while you sing to the tune we provide. The time limit will only be based on how long you can keep the song going!"*** The announcer proclaimed.

"So there is no time limit, we just have to keep singing?" Rapunzel inquired.

***"Precisely! Any questions?"*** The announcer asked.

"What's your health code on-" Orion almost asked.

***"NOBODY CARES ABOUT QUESTIONS!"*** The announcer exclaimed.

Vanellope looked kinda skeptical and curious as she leaned over to Ralph. The entire time the announcer was walking. She couldn't help but wonder if he sounded familiar.

"Psst! Ralph? Is it just me or does that announcer guy sound familiar?" Vanellope whispered.

"I'm not sure. But now that you mentioned it..." Ralph whispered and pondered while holding his chin, wondering if he could recognize it, before the music started up. "Oh it's starting!"

Rapunzel and Orion both froze for a second as a simple but original pop beat started up. Both were unsure for a second as the lights shined bright around the kitchen like a Broadway stage.

Suddenly Orion felt the magic of Fantasia begin to take the lead on his heart. While Rapunzel silently decided to follow her brother's lead. They both nodded to each other before Orion placed the sunglasses on his eyes.

Then Orion started dancing to the beats as the colors below the floor lit up to each step he made.

"When you're cookin' somethin' up~ And only tryin' the tried and true~ You stick to the predictable you've known~" Orion sang as he moved each step while snatching up several frying pans and skillets in the air and tossing them onto the grills.

Rapunzel smiled as she watched her brother start up.

"Measure out the same amounts~ Every teaspoon, every ounce~ No surprises when the rules are set in stone~" Orion teleported and danced as he pulled out several food ingredients from eggs to flour, bell peppers to onions and sat the former ingredients aside to toss onions and bell peppers in the air and he summoned neon daggers to spin in his fingers as he spun them into the incoming onions and peppers that yell and they landed perfectly sliced on the cutting boards.

"But when the sugar hits the fan~ You make a mess of your perfect plan~ And you're facin' the face of somethin' strange and new~" Orion sang to the beat as he did a low step in a dubstep style, and it caused neon humanoid dancers to spring out of him.

The same neon dancers he used in Atlantica as they all spun around, flipped and danced to the beat as they all assisted in the dishes Orion was making. They were all dancing and cooking.

"If it's not what you had prepared~ In the scramble, you can't get scared~" Orion sang as he spun a mixing bowl on his finger with an egg mix inside in front of Rapunzel for her to sniff and like the aroma. "Oh, let somethin' wild and wonderful break throoooough!~"

Orion then took a recipe book and formed two katannas to slice it into pieces with perfect spins while matching the rhyme of the music picking up. As his neon dancers were kick starting the meal he was making. As he was singing

"Start rippin' up the recipe!~ Let go of how it has to be!~ You forget about right and wrong!~ When you lose yourself in the song!~ It's perfect unexpectedlyyyyyyyyyy!~ When you rip up the recipe!~" Orion sang as he flipped two skillets and caught two slabs of large ribeye steaks. Before he landed them on the skillets and lit them on fire for a sizzle effect.

"Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~" Orion scatted to the beat as he took Rapunzel's hand did a duet dance making her laugh as he had her do a ballroom spin before he and the dancers pointed to Rapunzel to take the lead.

Then Rapunzel felt the spark of Fantasia as she began to prepare the dessert to Orion's meal preparations. As she spun over to the sweets fridge.

"Livin' life inside the lines safe and simple, by the book~ You keep sweepin' the uncertainty asiiiide~" Rapunzel sang beautifully as she tossed out cupcake and cake ingredients with different colored batters and frostings with sprinkles as she loosened her long magic blonde hair to spin and toss the ingredients at the same time in the air.

Even Pascal was using his tongue to snatch some sprinkle bits in the air while he was using his claws to barrel roll a batter bowl over to Rapunzel's direction as he winked at her little friend and caught it with her hand.

"But an unfamiliar spice might bring somethin' extra nice!~ Somethin' twice as good as what you woulda triiiiied~" Rapunzel sang as she danced to the same moves with her own style to match her brother's steps as the lights lit up under her bare feet. And her sprawling toes were flexible to keep up the pep in her step.

"'Cause when the sugar hits the fan!~ You make a mess of your perfect plan!~ And you're facin' the face of somethin' strange and neeeeew!~ Somethin's ready to wreck your day!~ You can pray that it goes away!~ Or let somethin' wild and wonderful break throoooooough!~" Rapunzel sang as she balanced nine mixing bowls on nine different broomstick that were mixing and spinning the bowls with what was inside. Before she whiplashed her hair strand to catch all the mixers and tilt them over in baking pans as she then caught each one that fell and tossed them in one by one in several ovens. In perfect formation. Then she slides over to Orion who slit over and they gave each other a high five.

And they both started singing in a duet style as they danced together to the music like too pop stars on Broadway.

"Start rippin' up the recipe!~ Let go of how it has to be!~ No, you can't plan it in advance!~ Gotta lose yourself in the dance!~ It's perfect unexpectedly!~ When you rip up the recipe!~" Rapunzel sang perfectly as she danced professionally around the kitchen with her little brother, and the neon dancers kept the cooking up for them. Then they both hopped on one of the countertops and danced still while they started scatting together. "Doot-doo-doo-doo!~Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~"

Then Orion hopped off and held his hands out to form a large neon dinner table with two of the neon dances doing backflips across it as it formed. Then Orion and Rapunzel started placing the finished dishes in perfect rhythm across the table. With plates and utensils.

Then Orion and Rapunzel started singing together in harmony as they set the table up with the dishes.

"Start rippin' up the recipe!~ And make a little mess with me!~ You forget about right and wrong!~ When you lose yourself in the song!~ It's perfect unexpectedlyyyyyyyy!~ When you rip up the recipe!~" Orion and Rapunzel sang as they brought in the main dishes and desserts while scatting together. "Doot-doo-doo-doo!~Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!~ Doot-doo-doo-doo, doo!~"

Then the song concluded, and the dinner table was presented with a full course meal of Ribeyed grilled steaks. Roasted veggies. Caesar salads. Cube potatoes. Spanish omelets. Dinner rolls. And Rapunzel's famous assorted cupcakes in different rainbow colors. And a nine layer white cake with buttercream icing. Designed after Castle Corona.

As the song concluded, all their friends and teammates were cheering and clapping in the audience.

"Wooopeee! Way to go, you guys!" Goofy called out.

"That was amazing!" Donald cheered as he clapped.

"You really stole the whole show!" Hoshi exclaimed while clapping.

"I knew you two had this." Yozora simply said in a cool tone while clapping.

"Alright, Heartless Trebek. You asked for a gourmet dish and singing. And we gave you a seven course gourmet classic with dessert and an original cast recording. Does this mean we pass?" Orion called out as he looked up

*"Oh yeah! Absolutely!"* The announcer dropped his announcement tone which made some of them act skeptical.

"In that case, may we see the keyhole this game then?" Rapunzel called out, ready to see this world restored to its original state.

*"Suuure! Absolutely! Just as soon as I can..."* The announcer mumbled the last few words as they didn't quiet hear it.

Rapunzel shared a glance with Orion before looking back up.

"Um... I'm sorry, but we didn't catch that last part." Rapunzel called out with a raised eyebrow in slight suspicion. "What was it you said?"

*"I said I'll..."* The announcer mumbled.

"You have no idea where it is, do you?" Orion deadpanned.

*"OF COURSE I DO! But...Well you know the deal. Your gotta kill a boss Heartless in order to reveal it."* The announcer meekly reminded the last part.

"And...You happen to be the only Heartless in here, right?" Orion inquired with a raised eyebrow.

*"Well...What if I say yes?!"* The announcer perked up.

"Uh huh." Orion hummed as he snapped his fingers to ignite a fire on the tip of his index finger. "Do you have any good parodies of Blue Cross?"

Orion was referring to some health insurance.

*"What's a blue cross?"* The mysterious announcer asked while sounding confused.

"Oh well." Orion shrugged before he blew the fire on his finger tip into the dark voided ceiling they couldn't see in. Causing whoever's inside it to light on fire.

*"OH OW OW OW OW OWHOTHOT HOT IT'S SO HOT!" The announcer screamed inside before he fell to the ground.

Revealing who he really was.

It was a short man with a pale green face and black eyes with the whites of the eye colored yellow. He wore a white jumpsuit for driving with red highlights, red and white shoes, and a white racing helmet with a red stripe going down the center of the helmet.

Almost no one had any idea who this enemy was, except for two...

"KING CANDY?!" Vanellope screamed as she only recognized the infamous racer by that name.

"TURBO?!" Ralph screamed in shock and slight horror at the sight of the video game character who nearly ruined their lives and games some time ago.

"Casper the Friendly Speed Racer?" Orion inquired looking down at him.

Turbo coughed and stood up to pop his back a bit.

"Oh well. Two out of three ain't bad. Hahaha!" Turbo chuckled before he glitched up at a top girder in the ceiling.

"O-kay?" Orion was still kinda weirded out.

"You may have won all three of the battles, Gardeners of the Multiple-verses! But the war is only brewing! Come find me in Resident Evil where we can finish this!" Turbo declared as he displayed the Heartless symbol on his racer helmet. Before he disappeared and glitched out of the game.

Orion just stood there looking confused.

"Did I leave the gas on or something?" Orion asked while looking at the team.

"It's not just you. We all saw it!" Ralph said as he looked disturbed "That was Turbo, alright!"

"But I don't understand! I thought he went kersploosh last year!" Vanellope exclaimed with a shocked look on her face.

Before they could ask anymore questions. One of the wall ovens opened and revealed to have the magical keyhole inside. Yozora instantly hopped out of his seat and landed in front of the keyhole. And held his keyblade out. Causing a beam to shoot into it. And a lock was heard.

---

Then suddenly the entire cooking and dancing game was shifted into an entire techno dance floor with other hip young teen dancers surrounding the team.

Each dancer was either dressed in cool street gear or pop cultural outfits. And one particular dancer was doing a cabbage patch dance spun over to the team.

This was Yuni Verse. The main lead of Dance Dance Universe X 2

Yuni Verse had light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair in two pigtails. She wore a dark pink tank top with sparkles and a game logo on the front and a black choker around her neck. She also wore a plaid skirt that had the lines the different colors of the rainbow and a checkered belt around the waist. The skirt halfway down her thighs. And her legs were covered in long leggings, the left being black and white stripes, the right being white with black dots. And she wore stylish boots that covered her shins. She also wore purple and black long gloves.

She walked up to the group with a smile.

"Hi! Thank you so much for saving our game!" Yuni Verse said to the team.

"Uh...No problem. It's what we do." Yozora smiled and gave a thumbs up to Yuni.

Her anime sparkly expression and the fact that the walls resembled a light bright techno screen saver in Orion's eyes. Made him realize where they were. Plus the instrumental techno disco music playing in the background gave it a flair.

"Oh yeaaah. Dance Dance Universe. This game is where I learned how to dance." Orion remarked.

Orion remembered going playing this game with Trish back in his childhood and she taught him how to dance using this game. They even bought the game set at their house so Trish could do it in private with her little brother.

"Wow. So this is the game that gave you all those cool moves you have. That's amazing." Rapunzel said, surprised but amazed by it.

"Yeah. And I'm pretty sure blonde Pigtails over here was one of the reasons he remembered this game." Friday said with a teasing smirk.

"Not what you think, Babe. Besides I was six." Orion denied what Friday was teasing about.

"That doesn't mean she couldn't have been your first crush." Friday countered with a raised eyebrow and a teasing smirk.

"My first two fictional crushes were actually Lara Croft or Wonder Woman. I mean Yuni here is cute, buuut..." Orion leaned into Friday's ear and whispered. "I prefer someone with meat on their bones."

They both looked over at Yuni who resumed dancing with her group and saw how skinny her legs are in her animation. Not unbearably skinny though. But in this animation. Maybe in real life she's got more meat. Who knows?

"Yeah, I think you and I can agree on that for one of the ways we like our women." Friday whispered back with a suggestive eye wink.

She was suggesting a threesome as a joke and probably something she meant.

'Also she's not that skinny.' PRO teased.

'She's got those Soul Train legs!' TEC beamed.

Orion exhaled. "I miss the old days when I was piloting the innuendo train." He muttered as he and the team began to walk out of the game

Seeing that Yuni was busy with a dance party she resumed. Having that it was interrupted by the Heartless virus earlier. The team decided to press on and leave her to it.

But at the same time. He shared the curiosity his team was feeling. Who was Turbo? What did he do? And why were Ralph and Vanellope so surprised to see him? Whatever it was. They'll ask questions after they exit the game.

---

Back in Game Central Station...

Sonic and Tails were standing near the entrance talking with Fix-It-Felix. As they saw Ralph and Vanellope run out ahead of the team looking anxious.

"Felix! Felix!" You're not gonna believe this!" Ralph yelled as he ran up to him and Felix looked concerned.

"King Cand- I mean Turbo is back! He's the one causing all of this!" Vanellope exclaimed.

"Oh my Man!" Felix gasped in horror.

"Are you Serious?! Turbo's behind all this?!" Sonic exclaimed, just as shocked.

"That means all games technically went Turbo against their will!" Tails said with a shocked and slightly frightened look.

"This is bad this is bad this is...I gotta do let Tammy know about this!" Felix ran off to go find his wife.

"Uh, excuse me." Rapunzel said, getting the game characters' attention. "My friends and I are a bit confused. Who's Turbo?"

"Someone who's done a lot of damage." Vanellope glared as she smacked her fist in her tiny pump.

"I'd take it you folks never heard of the term 'Going Turbo'?" Sonic asked them.

"We actually heard the term from the Ninja Turtles back in their game." Yozora answered for the team. "But we still have no idea what that means."

"Well you see. Back when the arcade first opened. There was this 8-bit game called TurboTime that had all the attention for racing fans everywhere. And their main lead Turbo, was considered to be the greatest racer who ever lived. And boy he loved all of the fandom. Until one day. A new racing game called RoadBlasters came in and stole all the attention when it introduced new innovation in gaming graphics. TurboTime was losing the attention and Turbo grew jealous." Tails stated as he was telling the backstory to the team.

"And Turbo didn't let that stand, did he?" Rapunzel asked, even though she had a feeling what the answer was.

"Huge understatement." Eggman stated as he walked over to the team and sighed looking kinda sad. "You see. Turbo became so bitter and despite the fact that I warned him not to. He wouldn't listen."

"Turbo ended up game jumping into RoadBlasters causing it to break down. He ended up causing both his game and RoadBlasters getting unplugged. And that was the last time we saw Turbo." Tails revealed.

"Until my game came around and he took that on over without anyone ever realizing." Vanellope said grimly.

"That's terrible. He tried to take control of your game too?" Hoshi gasped in shock. "How did you find out?"

"Well...I didn't notice until I got my game back. And that only happened last year." Vanellope meekly stated while looking down.

"And it's ironic because. Vanellope's game came out fifteen years before that happened." Tails stated sympathetically.

"The moment her game turned on. Turbo had already deleted her code and took over the entire game. Taking the memories of all the people and racers who lived inside. She had spent 15 years as an outcast. A glitch. Being picked on and bullied by the other racers. Chased by the law that lived inside. Turbo went under the name King Candy. And he was determined to keep it that way." Dr Eggman revealed to the team.

"Oh my God. That's just terrible." Rapunzel said with a deep sadness for Vanellope before a thought came to her. "But how did you get your game back?"

"Well. It all started when this big hillbilly numbskull came crashing into my game." Vanellope smirked up at Ralph.

"Alright alright. I'll take it from here. You see last year during the 30th anniversary of Fix-It-Felix Junior. I was kind of an outcast myself since I was the bad guy. And I tried to change that by getting a medal like Felix does every time he won a game. And I did it by trying to get one from Hero's Duty." Ralph started up his part.

"That Killzone-type game with the giant bugs? Dude, that place is like Borderlands backyard." Orion quipped in suprise hearing Ralph was almost suicidal enough to go in there.

"Yeah. Don't have to tell me. The whole game was a giant death trap." Ralph said, cringing at the memory of being in the game.

'Of Maximum Awesomeness!' TEC beamed.

"Ignore him." Orion and PRO deadpanned at the same time.

"So anyway. I managed to get a metal by breaking into the tower where players were rewarded. But then I accidentally hatched one of the cybugs by stepping on it. It attacked, which caused me to fall into some kinda escape shuttle. I landed in Sugar Rush and I thought the cybug was killed. But then I lost my metal." Ralph resumed.

"I took it actually." Vanellope mischievously added.

"Right. She took it thinking it was a gold coin. Because a racer needs one to become part of the roster for each day the arcade opens." Ralph explained.

"But then I made a deal for Ralph to help me win the race and I would win back his metal." Vanellope smirked.

"Basically, you hustled him into helping you." Donald surmised.

"Gee, if you were treated so badly in your game, why didn't you just leave it to get some help?" Goofy asked.

"Because I was a glitch. And glitches can never leave their own games. So this was the only way I could improve my life." Vanellope answered honestly.

"And let me tell you. Despite that I had my own goals. I soon became determined to help her. We both made her a race kart together and I helped train her in how to drive. But just as we were getting ready. Turbo, who was King Candy at the time, came to me and lied to my face. Telling me that he wouldn't allow Vanellope to race because he was trying to protect her and the game." Ralph said with a little guilt read in his face.

"And because he was so skilled at manipulation, you believed him." Friday surmised with her arms crossed.

"Well. Yeah! I mean he told me that if Vanellope crossed the finish line. She'd be a racer as a glitch and cause her game to break down. And when her game got unplugged...Well..." Ralph tried to explain.

"Vanellope couldn't leave her game." Orion said as he and the others realized she'd die with the game if it got unplugged.

"Yeah. I couldn't let that happen. But I should've known I was being lied to." Ralph said regretfully.

"Hey. It's okay Ralph. You were just trying to protect me." Vanellope assured while rubbing one of his big fingers.

"So what happened?" Donald asked.

"I didn't listen when Ralph tried to warn me. And I was determined to race no matter what. But he stopped me and smashed my kart before I could. I was very upset at first. But the moment Ralph left me to mope. I ended up getting captured and locked into King Candy's castle fungeon. It's...What we call a fun dungeon." Vanellope meekly stated.

'Like a kink dun-' TEC almost asked before Orion quickly cut him off.

"Don't say it!" Orion hissed pointing at his ring with a warning glare.

"So by the time I went back home. I had no idea Felix went out to look for me. And without a bad guy. Fix It Felix Junior was unplayable. And the game was put out of order. And it was all my fault." Ralph sighed while looking back.

"Hey. I get it. You were just tired of being treated like dirt because of the role you played in the game." Yozora sympathized with Ralph.

"But just because you play a bad guy in a game does not mean you're really evil on the inside." Rapunzel said kindly, bring a small smile to him.

"Thanks." Ralph said.

"So, how did you figure out that Turbo was lying to you?" Rapunzel asked.

"Well. It wasn't until I saw Vanellope's image on the side of Sugar Rush's game console." Ralph revealed.

"That's where they always put the main character. On the side of the console." Hoshi said in realization.

"Right. And I went back in and interrogated one of King Candy's stooges who told me everything he did. But not why because their memories were locked away. But I found out that if Vanellope crosses the finish line the game would reset back to normal." Ralph revealed.

"That's why he did everything he could to stop Vanellope from racing." Rapunzel concluded with wide eyes. "Because he knew she would win. And that would cause everything he built to be erased in the blink of an eye."

"Pretty much. So when I found Felix and explained everything. I convinced him to use his magic hammer to fix Vanellope's kart. I broke Vanellope out as well and got her in the race." Ralph stated

"Though ironically at the same time this was going on. The main lead of Hero's Duty. Sergeant Calhoun came in looking for the cybug Ralph brought in and found out that it not only survived. But was multiplying underground." Sonic added.

"Damn." Friday said, having an idea of how badly things got.

"We know those things only to go forth and multiply. And not in the way that sounds " Orion quipped.

"So yeah. There have been a lot of cybugs since I didn't kill the first one. And we were doing our best to defend the finish line. I mean after all if the game resets. They wouldn't." Ralph stated. "And...Let's see what else? Ah I almost forgot. King Candy drove up on Vanellope trying to stop her from finishing the race. And when he tried to attack her. He ended up glitching with her. Revealing who he really was."

"And what he was doing and why." Rapunzel said. "But even if he was found out, he was not about to give up, was he?"

"Nope. Even after he got eaten by a cybug." Vanellope answered.

"And it was too late to cross the finish line when they destroyed it. The whole game was evacuating and I tried to pull Vanellope out. But she couldn't escape. Calhoun was prepared to destroy the game to save the arcade. And..." Ralph hesitated.

"I was okay with going down with it." Vanellope said with a sad smile. "If it meant everyone else was safe from those things."

"That was very brave of you, Vanellope." Rapunzel said, kneeling down and putting her hand on her shoulder. "I'm just glad to see it didn't come to that. I take it you guys found a way to stop the Cybugs and save your game?"

"Yeah but it wasn't easy. When I found out it had to take a beacon to destroy that game. I quickly made it to this hot cola mountain and began smashing the top in hopes that it would erupted into a Beacon. But then Turbo had become a cybug virus after getting eaten by one." Ralph revealed.

"On account that those bugs become what they eat." Eggman added.

'Like Orion and chimichangas.' PRO remarked.

"And he planned on using his newfound form to infect every game in the arcade." Rapunzel said with a grim tone at the thought.

"Pretty much. Until I managed to beat him by erupting the cola volcano." Ralph declared.

"He ended up getting destroyed with the other cybugs after they all were drawn into the light of the large beacon of the volcano Ralph erupted. Ralph managed to get Vanellope to finally finish the race." tails added.

"And my glory days were brought back with magic sparks, Baby!" Vanellope beamed happily. And added. With a smirk. "Of course I kept my glitching abilities and now the kids are just obsessed with me. Plus it turned out King Candy's castle was actually my castle."

"So That means you're technically a Princess." Hoshi said with surprise as she and Rapunzel shared glances.

"Wow. What are the odds?" Rapunzel said back with a small smile.

"I prefer the term president. But yeah I'm pretty much that too." Vanellope remarked.

Orion looked at the readers. "Why do the chicks never wanna be queen?" He inquired while breaking the fourth wall.

"And of course me and Felix returned home. Everything was back to normal in our game, even if the job never changed. I was finally being appreciated for my job. And I've learned to take life one game at a time. But now...Now that Turbo is back." Ralph stated.

"Something tells me he's in for some bigger fish to hotwire." Sonic figured.

"He definitely seems to be plotting something." Yozora said with a hand to his chin.

"Well whatever it is, it can't be good." Donald said with a serious tone.

"Yeah, especially since he has control of the Heartless. That means he's even more dangerous than before." Goofy said.

Just then before someone could respond. They saw Felix arrive with some woman in a black armored military uniform with short blonde hair. This was Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun.

"Hey everyone! This is wife Tammy. The main lead of Hero's Duty." Felix introduced.

"Alright Tourist. So was is this I've been hearin about an old itch from Turbo as a dark virus?" Calhoun inquired with a serious tone.

"I'm afraid your old Headache, Turbo, is back, and has recently infected several games with darkness." Yozora explained with a serious tone.

"And I reckon he's the one calling all these other games to lose their names and nerves?" Calhoun asked with a scowl.

"Oh you don't know half of it. All that's left is that Resident Evil X game. So far we ran his heartless out of the other consoles but that one." Orion stated as he gestured over at the entrance of the game.

"So what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Donald exclaimed as he figured victory was so close and as he was about to run in.

"Hold it, Feathers! If Turbo's in there, he'll be unpredictable. Let's not spazz right in like he wants us too." Calhoun hissed a warning making Donald gulp and halted.

She had a point. There's no telling what's inside that game. They needed to be prepared.

"PRO, TEC, can you give us a reading on the inside?" Orion asked as he teleported over to the entrance and held his ring up to scan inside.

'There's nothing on record for what to expect. Unfortunately.' PRO stated.

'Oh oh oh! I recommend a volunteer to go in and check for us!' TEC beamed an idea.

"Your kiddin, right?" Orion inquired.

"I honestly can't tell if they're joking or not." Friday said with an annoyed sigh. "If we can't get any readings on what's going on in the game, how are we supposed to make a plan of attack?"

"I don't know. Maybe...Wait where's Sonic?" Orion inquired as he turned and noticed he was gone.

Suddenly they saw a blue blur zoom back out of the game as Sonic stood before them and shrugged feeling unphased by what he saw.

"Meh. It looks lame in there. All they have is a graveyard just miles long with slime. Tombstones and lightning with eerie music." Sonic described whst he saw sounding unimpressed. The place didn't even have any zombies. No offense Zombie.

"None taken..." Zombie moaned as he limbed by.

"Oh thank Christ, Lady Dimitrescu isn't in this game." Orion exhaled in relief, before he stood back up acting disappointed. "I mean, really?! You didn't even see the Bakers in there? Mr. X? Not even Morpheus?!"

"Nope." Sonic answered with his arms crossed.

"Remind me again why this guy was everyone's favorite?" Orion scoffed about Turbo.

"That car draggin scum is no laughing matter, Boy! If we don't end him in that game. He'll take it out on the entire arcade!" Calhoun snapped looking at Orion and everyone.

"Or worse. He could end up spreading it all over Twilight Town." Yozora realized.

"Alright alright. Cool your jets, Sonya Blade." Orion responded to ease Calhoun's tension.

"I am calm!" Sonya Blade called out in the background.

"We know the drill. So what I recommend. We give the Hot Wheel Mad Hatter more than he can chew." Orion stated an idea. "Get as many video game characters to fight against him so he'll have zero chances of winning.

Felix and Ralph looked kinda concerned by the idea.

"I don't think that's a Good idea." Felix said with hesitation. "See we're game characters. And if we die outside our game, we won't regenerate back to life."

"If that's the case, then how did Turbo come back after being killed back in Sugar Rush?" Hoshi asked a very good question.

"Because anyone who works deep in Darkness can come back from it. What's darker than stealing the life from a child?" Friday stated and gestured to Vanellope.

The fact that Turbo was cruel and sinister enough to steal a game from a child star game character for fifteen years was low enough.

"He's back as a Heartless. It's the only way he could come back." Yozora stated in agreement and looked at Ralph and his friends. "And that's why we'll win. Because the Guardians deal with the Heartless every time they spring. We won't let them harm you. But this will be a lot easier with your help."

They all looked at each other as Calhoun narrowed her eyes in determination and cocked her rifle over her shoulder.

"Fellas. This arcade. These games are our home. It's my home as well. And I sure as hell am gonna do my damndest to defend it and everyone who's made this place what it is. But as far as we're concerned, Turbo doesn't belong here anymore. And it's time we pipe the dark with his ass! Ya with me?!" Calhoun proclaimed and asked as he stood up on a bench and spoke.

Spurred by his wife's proclamation, he jumped up, ready for a fight.

"I'm with ya, Honey!" Felix exclaimed.

"So am I!" Ralph said, cracking his knuckles.

"I'm more than ready to kick that gus backside again!" Vanelloped said, punching in front of her.

"Hey, you ain't leaving me out of this one! I want a piece of the action!" Sonic said, running in circles.

"Well, if Sonic's going, so am I!" Tails said with a determined look.

"So will I!" Eggman declared as he flew around on one of his hovercrafts. "OH HOHOHOHOHOH!"

Just then, two green pipes grew from the ground, and out came Mario and Luigi.

"We heard-a that you were going to go and-a take on-a Turbo!" Mario said in his Italian accent.

"We want-a to help-a you!" Luigi added as well.

A second later the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles jumped in.

"So do we." Leo said as he posed.

"Yeah! That dude messed with our game too!" Mikey beamed as he posed.

"We own that clown a good shell-kicking." Raph said grimly as he posed.

"So you better count us in." Donnie said As he posed.

Then suddenly Ryu. Ken, Chun-Li and Cammy from Street Fighter ran over to join their group.

"COUNT US IN!" They volunteered at the same time.

Then the two main villains of their game, Bison and Zangief came in to stand with him.

"Us too." Bison declared as he hovered with his arms crossed.

"I will crush Turbo's head like sparrow egg BETWEEN THIIIGHS!" Zangief roared as he flexed his muscles.

"ALRIGHT! You guys are The Best!" Rapunzel cheered for them. "Let's show Turbo he messed with the wrong Arcade!"

"Hold on there's more." Sonic smirked as he pointed ahead.

Suddenly in came Raiden who flew over. Sub Zero. Johnny Cage. Aaron Black. Katana. Sonya Blade and her daughter Cammie. Scorpion. And Jax should up as well.

"Count us for the ass whoopin as well." Johnny Cage grinned as he puffed a cigarette while looking cool.

Then suddenly. Four characters from Tekken showed up. Kazuya Mishima. Jin Kazama. Katerina Alves and Christie Monteiro.

"We're in as well." Christie gave a thumbs up.

Pac Man floated over with his mouth opening and closing as always. Indicating that he's in too.

"Hey!" They heard a voice say.

Sonic and Tails turned and smiled seeing their third friend from their game came to join as well.

Knuckles the Echidna.

"Don't tell me you're starting the punch party without me!" Knuckles smirked as he jumped over to stand next to Sonic.

"Wouldn't dream of it, Pal." Sonic placed a hand on his shoulder.

Rapunzel was starting to get giddy again at the sight of knuckles, and stepped forward to take his hand to shake.

"Oh my goodness, It's so nice to meet you! I'm Rapunzel. Oh boy, it's gonna be awesome having you fight with us." Rapunzel said, shaking Knuckles' hand.

Knuckles was smooth and able to keep up with her speed and compressed excitement as he shook her hand back.

"Totally. But I gotta warn you. This isn't even my strongest grip." Knuckles remarked as they concluded the handshake.

"Trust me. I definitely know." Jax said with sass as he showed the dent in his metal hand.

"Okay so is that everybody?" Orion asked while looking around.

"Not quite." They heard a dark brooding voice say.

The Guardians looked over to see, none other than the main house of DC comics himself.

"BATMAN!" Every Guardian member there exclaimed in shock seeing the Caped Crusader himself standing with the group of game characters.

"Not just him." They heard another masculine voice say.

They looked up to see Superman and Wonder Woman fly over to stand next to Batman.

Orion's eyes sparkled slightly before he shook his head out of his daze and looked at the readers.

"This was the only way it could be possible." Orion pointed out to the readers.

Rapunzel's eyes had sparkles in her eyes.

"Oh my God... If this is a dream, don't wake me up." Rapunzel said in a giddy voice.

"When did they?..." Orion almosted asked.

"Do you remember Injustice Gods Among Us?" Friday hinted.

"There's an arcade version?" Orion asked quietly.

"This place has to have a fighting game in every corner." Friday pointed out

"If it's a war Turbo wants. Then he'll have war, with everything we've got." Wonder Woman declared as she held her sword up.

"Point us to where we're needed." Superman smiled at everyone.

"All we need now is a speech from our virus exterminators." Sonic remarked looking at the Guardians.

"You're up, Spike." Orion playfully nudged Yozora forward.

Yozora almost tripped but he grinned before he walked up to stand in front of everyone. And he shifted into his Verum Rex armor. He looked at all of the video game characters of every genre. Every target theme. And every platform. As they all stood ready to fight.

"My friends. Game stars. Guardians. Masters of entertainment. Whatever battles to face every day in front of the fans that take control. Whatever you admire about your life. Know that there are millions of people who speak about the wonders of your existence every day. You inspire many to chase ideas. And many will look back on the games and characters that made their joy possible. But now Turbo is back. And he plans to rid you of not only your very existence. But in hopes to use the darkness to attack the very children who cheer for your games. To attack all who live outside of this arcade and beyond. We must join forces or become the first that is to fall. So today you stand with us. Or you stand at the gates of the real Game Over. Only together. Can we send this possibility back to the darkness where it belongs. I am Verum Rex. At the end of this battle. Many will stand! And only one shall perish!" Verum Rex gave his speech before he held his keyblade up.

All of the game characters cheered and roared feeling the vibes of battle. While the Guardians stood ready. As Orion shifted into the Maverick. Friday went into her Shift form. And Hoshi went into her Swift form.

"Seriously you just wanna die for the guy. Can't help it." Maverick remarked about his speech to Rapunzel who stood next to him.

"Well, he certainly has me pumped." Rapunzel said before raising her Vibranium frying pan into the air.

"And since this is a graveyard. I'm gonna give Rex his scary but epic horse." Maverick grinned as he hovered into the air and held his palms up. And then he slammed them down to the ground as he yelled. "Unleash!"

Then Maverick's body began to shift around and expand almost like a Voltron vehicle or a Transformer vehicle. Until finally...

Maverick now stood as a Metallic T-Rex, with orange and red metal, and glowing red eyes, and there were plumes of fire leaving the sides of his closed mouth.

Rapunzel's jaw dropped along with Pascal's jaw at the sight of her brother, now a metallic dinosaur. He looked awesome.

Then the M-Rex stumped over to Verum Rex and lowered his head as Verum Rex grinned and stepped on board to ride him like a horse. Then Mav-Rex reared and let out a roar. ***"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!"***

And yes. It was the same T-Rex roar from Jurassic Park. But anyway. Verum Rex jumped on board the Mav-Rex and rode with his keyblade raised like a knight's sword.

"Guardians! We charge together! NOW ROLL OUT!" Verum Rex roared as he was the first to charge in while riding the Mav-Rex. And everyone charged in for the entry gate.

All of the video game characters and the Guardians of the Unknown combined. As they ran for it. To the entrance of Resident Evil X. Ready to face whatever horrors and dark advantages Turbo might have. As Ralph. Vanellope. Felix and Calhoun ran in. Even Calhoun's troops from Hero's Duty showed up to charge with her.

This was going to be numbers that Turbo was not going to expect.

---

Inside Resident Evil X...

At the very back of the miles long graveyard was none other than Turbo himself. In his cybug form as he was the last time he fought Ralph. Only this time he's also a Heartless.

Xybug Turbo

Xybug Turbo stood on four legs, with two scorpion-like tails coming from his backside. He had four large insect wings, and his head remained the same, with his helmet still on with the Heartless Emblem on the helmet and on his chest. His head every ten seconds would glitch to a King Candy head and a Turbo Head.

He was currently talking with someone small. Floating and phased like a phantom as if she wasn't even in the same room or realm as him. While wearing a black hood.

"Rest assured. You will be rewarded for your efforts." The mysterious hooded figure stated.

"Oh Tootsweets! The fact that I'm back beyond my prime is rewarding enough!" Xybug Turbo beamed chipperly and chuckled before asking. "So about this new mutual friend of yours. When do we get to meet?"

"Her heart may be clouded but she's not fully corrupt yet. She wouldn't team up with you. And if she knew what I was doing. I would lose any trust I'm trying to gain. Just focus on fighting the Guardians. Your conflict will make progress." The Mysterious figure answered before fading away.

"Sheesh. So shady it makes my head hurt. But not as bad as they'll hurt." Xybug Turbo chuckled darkly.

Then suddenly he felt the ground start to shake as he looked down. And he clasped his clawed hands together.

"Well well. The company has gotten bigger. Don't worry. So has MINE!" Xybug Turbo held his hand out as he summoned his army of Heartless across the entire graveyard. Dozens of them were in the different forms of cybugs.

There were two kinds of Cybug Heartless among the ranks. The first kind looked like regular Cybugs but with green armor, the Heartless Emblem and glowing yellow eyes. Another kind of Cybug Heartless, called the Cybug Tank Heartless which was purple colored, had wheels at the bottom of their six legs, spikes on the sides of their bodies instead of wings, and only one scorpion tail with a cannon in place of a stinger. The Heartless emblem was on their heads, and glowing yellow eyes. And on their backs was a cockpit with a mini Cybug heatless piloting the main Cybug.

"Hahaha! My little creepy crawlies are calling to me once again." Xybug Turbo sighed and smirked sinisterly. "But what would a haunted game be without MONSTERS?!"

Turbo then held his hand out. And summoned every type of horror themed Heartless he could muster up out of the darkness. And they came by the dozens. Mostly in the ghost theme.

Like Trick Ghost Heartless. Magic Phantom Heartless. And Search Ghost Heartless.

But above all. The once that rose up looking dangerous by the dozens. Where none other than...

The Zombie Soldier Heartless!

The Zombie Soldier Heartless stood at six feet tall, with metal helmets covering their heads and faces, but can open up like mouths to reveal the rotting faces and glowing yellow eyes of the heartless. They had chains and cuffs on their wrists, clawed hands, armored legs and clawed feet. And their rotting chests were bare, showing the Heartless Emblems on their chests.

"There. That's everything on the list. And now for the guests to arrive!" Xybug Turbo beamed as he looked ahead at the entrance.

When suddenly he could hear the echo of a famous 'Guns N Roses' song in the background. As the ground was shaking even harder. And suddenly. The Guardians of the Unknown were charging ahead with Verum Rex riding on the back of Mav-Rex.

(Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine)

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry

The Zombie Soldier Heartless groaned as they ran for them. And they formed arm cannons to shoot at them. But everyone with their weapons and keyblades blocked their shots.

Whoa, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Verum Rex charged ahead as he jumped off of Mav-Rex and slashed five Zombie Soldier Heartless with a spin while Mav-Rex tail whipped several and allowed Verum to grip and ride on his side. Then Mav-Rex launched his head up to let Verum Rex leap in the air and walk across a platform to slash at some Heartless cybugs and knocked a spider cybug hover to Mav-Rex mouth as he bites down on it. Then Verum Rex hopped back on the Mav-Rex to ride on as he shifts his keyblades into laser blasters.

Rapunzel loosened her hair to strand whip ten Cybugs into the air. Allowing Swift to run fast at super speed to slash through them in the air. Then Shift sent strikes of lightning on several cybug tanks causing them to shatter. Donald and Goofy were running in scream for battle...Only for them to run the other direction scream in fear from the Zombie Soldier Heartless chasing them...Only for the Zombie Soldier Heartless to run away from Donald and Goofy again as they were now running with Wreck It Ralph who roared and ran ahead to start smashing them.

Calhoun and the troops of heroes duty ran in and stood with Sonya Blade. Johnny Cage and Cassie who were all running and shooting across the graveyard together. Jax was with them while the other Mortal Kombat and Tekken characters were slaughtering the Zombie Soldier Heartless with ease.

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

Whoa, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Whoa whoa, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Shift was flipping around as she was charging a large ball of laughing with Raiden to float in the air and hurled it intl fifty Cybug tanks.

Then shift stood back up and slashed her keyblade into a rozen incoming Zombie Soldier Heartless. While Christie Monteiro flipped over and started using her fast kicks and punches to shatter them as they stood back to back.

"Olá! I'm Christie!" Christie greeted and she did a triple axel kick over Shift who turned to zap the others on Christie's side.

"Hi, Christie, I'm Friday!" Shift introduced herself as she slashed her keyblades about to decapitate two Zombie soldiers Heartless, making them fade away. "Nice moves you got there!"

"Thanks! I'm programmed with a very optimistic demeanor for a Brazilian fighting star!" Christie stated as she used her bare feet to run up Shift's back to high kick a Trick Ghost Heartless down. And she backflipped. "So! What do you do for fun?! When you're not fighting viruses!"

"Depends on the time of day!" Shift answered as she slashed at more Heartless. "For instance, during the day, I sometimes like to spar! At night, I like to have fun with my husband in the bedroom!"

"You're married?! Cool! What's he like?!" Christie asked as she kicked another one down and smiled at Shift.

"He's smart, kind, funny, quite obnoxious, and as hot as all hell!" Shift said as she sliced a heartless in half.

Then suddenly Mav Rex was seen running and roaring and he blew fire across a hoard of Cybug Heartless. And stomped by the group of Zombie Soldier Heartless that the teenage girls were fighting. They backed away and huffed as their fight was taken care of in this area.

"That's him." Shift smirked while gesturing the metallic armored keyblader in the form of a T-Rex.

"Woah." Christie said in amazement.

Whoa, yeah

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Whoa, oh, whoa, oh

Sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Ooh, yeah

Ooh, sweet love of mine

Suddenly Sonic. Tails and Knuckles were seen bouncing as round grinding speed balls shattering the cybugs as they kept bouncing. While Mario and Luigi ate a mushroom and grew bigger to stomp across them.

Sonic and tails hopped on giant Mario's shoulder as he ran across and saw some Heartless bats. Mario and Sonic grinned and nodded. Before Mario took Sonic and tossed him towards the Heartless Bats. And Sonic then transformed into the golden Hedgehog Super Sonic and zoomed pass all of them. Burning the Bat Heartless swarm up.

Knuckles was seen on the ground punching a punch of Spider Cybug Heartless down as he stood alongside Jax who was Punching and shooting at the same time.

Vanellope was seen driving her racing kart as she glitched through a bunch a Zombie Soldier Heartless and stopped next to Rapunzel. Then a mini cherry bomb turret sprung up behind her kart. For someone on the second seat to operate.

And the cherry bombs are actually made of cherries.

"This Princess needs a tail gunner! Mind lending a trigger finger?!" Vanellope asked with a smirk gesturing for Rapunzel to take the second seat.

"Don't mind if I do!" Rapunzel beamed and hopped into her ride as she stood on her knees.

Despite the fact that Vanellope's car was too small for Rapunzel to fully sit inside. She was nimble on her knees. And she took control of the cherry bomb mini turret and aimed at the cybugs that had Pac-Man pinned up against a corner.

***Minigun fire!***

Rapunzel blasted them as Vanellope drove by and Rapunzel gave Pac-Man a thumbs up as he flapped his mouth as if to say thank you.

Meanwhile Zangief was crushing a Zombie Soldier Heartess' skull between his thighs on the battlegrounds.

"LIKE SPARROW EEEEGG!" Zangief roared.

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Ooh, oh, where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Oh, where do we go now?

Where do we go? (Sweet child)

Where do we go now?

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Where do we go now?

Ah, ah

While Bison used his psycho powers to brainwash a group of Zombie Soldier Heartless to fight another group.

But no matter how hard these guys were fighting. None of them could get close to Xybug Turbo. As he kept blocking every gamer that came for him with a dark shield. Laughing while he does it. They couldn't penetrate it.

Superman was flying around taking care of the Arial Cybugs while Wonder Women stood guard with Swift near the entrance to make sure the Cybug Heartless or any Heartless ever dared try to walk out into the Arcade. Wonder Woman would slash and kick several away while Swift would use her speed to run right past them. Of course her job got easier when The Flash suddenly showed up from the Injustice game.

"Need a helping jog?!" Flash quipped as he zoomed past a hoard of cybugs with Swift who kept up.

"EAAAK!" Swift squealed in delight as she kept up her momentum. Since she always was a Flash fan.

Super Sonic flew right in between as all three of the speedsters smirked and kept going.

The Ninja Turtles were seen flipping and kicking ass with their signature weapons together. Leonardo with his two Katannas. Sliced through the cybugs like sushi. Donatello whacked them in the heads with his bow staff. Raphael ran across a Cybug Tank and thrusted his first sail and his second sai into the cybug driver. And jumped off before it crashed into another cybug tank. And Michelangelo was using his nunchucks. To loop around spider Cybugs and trip them on top of several more.

"COWABUNGAAAA!" Mikey beamed.

Where do we go?

Oh, where do we go now?

Oh, where do we go?

Oh, where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh, where do we go now?

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Sweet child

Sweet child of mine

Meanwhile back with Rapunzel. She kept shooting at any and all enemies she could shoot at. But then a cybug tank came in and knocked against Vanellope's Vehicle. Causing Rapunzel to bounce up and out of the vehicle.

"Woaaaaaaa!" Rapunzel yelled as she fell out.

"Rapunzel!" Vanellope yelled in fear.

But then Rapunzel sent a strand into a dead tree to wrap around a branch and swung across it to break her fall. But she ended up landing on the back of Mav-Rex. Her brother as he turned and grinned at her in his T-Rex form.

Rapunzel smiled back at her brother.

Suddenly Batman drove over in his Batcycle and stopped in front of Mav-Rex and Rapunzel.

"We're not getting anywhere with Turbo. His shield is too strong." Batman pointed at Xybug Turbo.

Xybug Turbo laughed like a maniac as he was still standing. However, He was standing under the roof of a condemned looking cathedral. Rapunzel noticed this. That big idiot thinks he's safe as long as he doesn't have the possibility of a rear attack. But didn't count for his little cathedral fort being fragile.

"Get everyone you can get." Rapunzel started speaking up about a plan. "We're going to shatter the cathedral and bury Turbo with it while he's distracted."

Batman looked over at the condemned cathedral and nodded back at Rapunzel before he rode off on his Batcycle.

"Ready to get distracting, Grimlock?" Rapunzel rubbed Mav-Rex's neck using a nickname.

Mav-Rex grinned as he nodded and ran over to charge at Xybug Turbo's shield.

Meanwhile, Batman parked near the cathedral and used his grapple gun to zip up to the top. And he started spaying explosive gel around the top. As a means to add extra force.

Ralph looked up at Batman and realized his plan. He ran over and jumped on the roof and started smashing his fists on the roof of the cathedral.

"I'M GONNA WRECK IT!" Ralph roared as he started smashing the roof.

Verum Rex looked up at Ralph after shattering a Cybug tank. And smirked as he got the idea.

Meanwhile, Mav-Rex kept blowing fire into Xybug Turbo's shield making him chuckle. Laugh even.

"HAHAHAHA! You morons think you're all broody enough to burst my bubble?!" Xybug Turbo chuckled sinisterly acting like he's got the upper hand.

Then Mav-Rex shifted back into Maverick as he stood next to Rapunzel.

"You should've booked a place with at least four stars, Pennywise." Maverick quipped as he pointed up.

"Huh?" Xybug Turbo inquired as he looked up.

And suddenly as Ralph was smashing the roof. Verum Rex was seen in the air from a large jump as he spun and hurled himself onto the Cathedral roof. When suddenly...

*SMASH!*

Verum Rex slammed his keyblade down at the same time Ralph slammed his fists down one more time.

Batman at the same time glides away as he detonate his explosive gel. And. The entire Cathedral began to crumble.

"OH NOT AGAIN!" Xybug Turbo groaned out loud. "NOOOOOOO!"

***BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!***

The entire Cathedral crumbled on top of Xybug Turbo. Destroying him instantly. And suddenly all of the Heartless and Cybugs began to fade away. As everyone looked around. The battle was over. And for a few seconds, all was quiet. Until the entire place started to crumble.

The ground. The sky. The scenery. Everything around the game was starting to crumble. Causing several to stumble out.

"QUICK! EVERYBODY RUN!" Ralph yelled out as everyone ran for the exit. Either flying out. Running out or driving out.

The Guardians and the game characters all ran out of Resident Evil X.

---

Back out in Game Central Station...

Most of the other game characters in civilians that live in the other consoles were waiting outside. Waiting for the army to come back out and waiting to see if it was over. Even the Surge Protector was waiting to see them. As they all shared concerns. Wondering if the worst has happened. Even the Nice Landers of Fix-It-Felix Junior were waiting outside.

Most of these people weren't battle equipped anyway. The ones that were were just busy looking after the others.

Then suddenly they saw the Guardians of the Unknown ran out ahead of the army. As every single of the their friends and fellow game characters ran out. And they looked back to see...

The entry to Resident Evil X disappeared. And the console inside the arcade faded away entirely. With Turbo inside with the rest of the Heartless.

Thus ended his reign of terror for good.

"Is...Is it over?" Felix asked as he looked on.

"Looks like, Hun." Calhoun started to form a grin.

"Game. Set. ***kin match." Maverick quipped as he shifted back into Orion.

Ralph went from shock to joy.

"We won...WE ACTUALLY WON! LOOK GUYS! WE DID IT!" Ralph laughed and cheered.

"YEAAAAAH!" Vanellope cheered with him.

"Yeah! That's how we do it!" Rapunzel cheered while.

"Squeak!" Pascal Squeaked and pumped his arms in victory.

"ALRIGHT! WE DID IT!" Donald Cheered, jumping around.

"Yahoo! We beat the Evil Video Game!" Goofy cheered as well.

"Looks like with Turbo gone, the game console lost its anchor to reality and faded from existence." Yozora said with thought with a smirk on his face after shifting out of his armor.

"And now, The arcade is free from its darkness once again!" Hoshi cheered after shifting out of her armor.

"Well, so much for Resident Evil X." Friday said as she shifted out of her own armor. "And good riddance I say."

As the other gamers were cheering and relishing their victory. Mikey the Ninja Turtles slid over to the Guardians.

"Alright all together now! Who saved the game world?!" Mikey called out.

"WE SAVED THE GAME WORLD!" The Guardians cheered together as they pumped their firsts in the air.

"HELL YEAH! PIZZA AND ROOT BEER PARTY TO CELEBRATE! ON RAPH'S TAP!" Mikey announced as he skateboarded over to lead everyone to Tappers.

"Yea- What?!" Raph yelled in shock.

Meanwhile as everyone was heading towards Tappers. Maverick shifted back into Orion and began to text on his Gummi phone while walking with Rapunzel and Friday.

"I'm sending an anonymous tip to let Litwak know it's safe to reopen his Arcade in the morning." Orion stated as he finished texting.

"I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that he's back in business." Friday said as she looked forward.

"Yeah." Rapunzel said before looking up in thought. "So, is it always like this? Traveling from one new world to another, as a guardian?"

Orion sighed. "A good chunk of it, yeah. Other times it's just a breezy short JRPG boss battle. But as always. As hard as it gets. It's the people you meet. And the victory you give them, that always makes it worth it." He said looking ahead.

As Ralph and Vanellope walked up to them.

"I uh...I don't know how to thank you. You sure did a lot for us. And..." Ralph meekly tried to say.

"You are one spunky Princess, Rapunzel. This arcade will always have its doors open to you and your friends. Especially during closing hours." Vanellope smiled up at Rapunzel giving her two thumbs up and a wink.

Rapunzel smiled happily and knelt down to pull Vanellope into a hug.

"Thanks, Vanellope. I'll be sure to visit as much as I can." Rapunzel said as she hugged the younger game character.

"You'd better." Vanellope snickered as she hugged her back.

Meanwhile Taffeta and the other racers from her game walked up and smiled. As Rapunzel and Vanellope concluded their hug.

"Hey Vanellope. The pizza party won't start for another hour, and we're about to set up. Wanna come?" Taffeta invited Vanellope to come help set up the pizza party at Tappers.

"No problemo! Every party needs a president's touch." Vanellope mused as she went over and walked away to join her fellow racers.

Everyone else smiled watching her go.

"You know what's the best part of work? It's when the nicelanders toss me off the building and into the mud." Ralph said with a warm smile towards Vanellope.

"Eeh. I didn't peg you as a masochist." Orion winced, making Ralph chuckle a bit.

"No it's not that. Whatever that means, but it's when the nicelanders lift me up. I always get a good view of Sugar Rush and I'm able to watch Vanellope racing, and win. You should see her, the kid's a natural and the players adore her, glitch and all." Ralph sighed as he kept smiling. And he said "You see. What I learned the day I freed Vanellope and her game. Is that I don't need a medal to tell me I'm the good guy. Because if that kid likes me. How bad can I be?"

Vanellope looked back and waved at Ralph who gave a small wave back. Rapunzel smiled and patted Ralph's back. She was glad to see how it all turned out for them.

'Who knew a game where everything is candy and sugar would have a healthy effect?' PRO remarked.

Rapunzel stopped walking after hearing PRO mumble something she didn't quite get.

"I'm sorry, PRO. But could you repeat that please? All I heard were the words candy and sugar." Rapunzel said to the AI.

"He means that Sugar Rush's game world is made entirely out of candy, cookies, cake. Hell there's even ice cream somewhere in..." Orion explained until he paused and looked to see Rapunzel wasn't there anymore. "Zel? Where did you go?"

"There she goes." Friday remarked as she pointed forward.

They see Rapunzel sprinting towards where the entry gate to Sugar Rush was in view.

"A WORLD MADE OF CANDY AND SWEETS?! OUT OF MY WAY! I"M OFF TO PARADISE!" Rapunzel exclaimed loudly enough of all of Game Central Station to hear as she ran towards the entrance to Sugar Rush.

"Careful, Zel! Some of the candy in there are people!" Orion called out

"Only eat the ones that don't talk! And don't eat anyone's belongings!" Friday called out.

"Or they're houses and front lawns!" Orion added.

"NO EATING LIVING CANDY OR HOMES! GOT IT!" Rapunzel called back as her bare feet didn't even take a second off in running as she made it to the entrance to Sugar Rush and disappeared inside.

Orion shook his head with a sigh.

"She'll be fine. It's digital sugar anyway. She'll barely feel the effect of real sugar." Orion shrugged with a grin.

"And at least the taste is still there." Friday added.

"I wish I could say the same for dots and candy corn." Orion nodded.

"Whelp. That was...Something. I'm gonna go check up on that party set up. See you guys later." Ralph said as he walked off and waved with a smile.

Orion and Friday waved back as they were now alone. With the team and their new friends setting up a pizza party at Tappers. And Rapunzel was busy in Sugar Rush. The young married now had time to themselves.

"Whelp. We got the whole Arcade to ourselves for an hour or two. The teams' busy with the E3 citizens and Zel's eat her heart out like a Willy Wonka fan. What's on your mind?" Orion smiled as he wrapped his arm around Friday's shoulder and pulled her close.

Friday then flashed a sultry smirk at him.

"Well, during the fight, I was told about this VIP Club that was set up in the town of the Street Fighter Console." Friday said with a flirty tone. "Want to go check it out?"

"That depends. What do I need to get in?" Orion inquired. "And what's they're age of consent?"

"Well, the city is based in Tokyo." Friday answered. "So, we're more than allowed in."

"Well I do have stock and haLF of the revenue of three different Tokyos." Orion smirked as he walked with Friday towards The Street Fighter console. "Question. I won't have to see Zangief strip, do I?"

"God no." Friday said with a shudder at the thought. "That would be a fate worse than death."

"Up there with seeing 18+ My Little Pony fan art." Orion winced. Then he looked at the readers and posted a title on the screen.

***SKIP NSFW CONTENT.***

"One Shot possibility." Orion whispered to the readers and winked.

Later that night in the middle of Twilight Town...

After the epic pizza parry at Tappers. Everyone was completely spent. As Game Central Station became one of their new favorite hang outs. Officially on Rapunzel's list as well. While the rest of the team were hanging around the nearby park in Sunset Hill. Orion brought Rapunzel back down to an ally near the Sandlot. And showed her the entrance to a place he used to Call the Usual spot.

"So, little bro. Where is it you're taking me to that you're being so hush hush about it?" Rapunzel asked with a whimsical tone.

"If I tell you what it is now, that would totally murder the suprise." Orion stated with a little humor.

Then he went ahead and opened a door to a chain link fence gate. And looked to see that it had a small red curtain to see that everything was still inside. Even the soft deep purple carpet inside was clean again. He and Friday took their time to fix that place up when Orion found it. And he cleaned up everything he found. And kept it fresh for Rapunzel to come inside and see.

"Alright." Orion teleported over and took Rapunzel's hands. "Close those eyes. Don't open until I say so, or I'll take that as a sign of betrayal and pull out my red lightsaber."

He meant that as a joke. Obviously.

Rapunzel rolled her eyes at that before closing them. And she peaked a little.

"Keep 'em closed." Orion pointed and warned.

"Alright, alright. They're closed. And I promise to keep them closed." Rapunzel said with an amused huph as she closed them again.

Even Pascal kept his eyes closed while he was on Rapunzel's shoulder.

Then Orion led her behind the red curtain. And stood her in the middle of some place secret.

Then he turned on the lights. There were Christmas lights all over the ceiling. But in red and blue. A sofa up against a corner right. With a bunch of toys scattered everywhere on the floor. Some were girls toys and others were boy toys.

And all over the walls. Including the brick one on the left side were covered in drawings of previous memories. Along with an Image screen with a projector on the front wall for slideshows. And on the floor was a violet soft carpet. Meant for an effect. It's a good thing Orion cleaned this place up and made sure there were no bugs or ants or any other pest to mess the place up.

This was the Usual Spot. His precious memory with his sister Trish.

"Alright. Open up." Orion stated that Rapunzel can open her eyes now.

Rapunzel opened her eyes and gasped in wonder at her surroundings. Even Pascal looked around in awe.

"Wow. This place looks so cool." Rapunzel commented before curiosity took over. "Where are we anyway?"

"This. Was me and Trish's own little private getaway. She and her friends set this when she was seven. And she ended up sharing it with me." Orion said with a warm glow on his face as he went over and touched the left brick wall with his hand. "She drew all of these herself. Take a look."

"Wow. This drawing is so life-like." Rapunzel complimented how skilled Trish was with drawing. "Is this drawing of her and your Mom?"

If anything, Rapunzel knows her way with the paintbrush. So in a way. The Princess is an artist just like Trish.

"Yeah. She drew that one the day she found out our Mom had a certain stick of TNT renting space in her stomach." Orion humorously revealed in a soft tone. That it was him.

"They probably didn't know just how explosive you'd be." Rapunzel joked before looking at another drawing. "What about this one?"

Rapunzel was looking at an image of Trish holding hands with a blonde boy in a suit and tie. While she was wearing a purple dress.

"That was her first date to the prom. He was a decent guy, but he ended up joining the College Football league in Cleveland." Orion stated.

Then he spotted another image of some rebel tie fighters coming out of a big screen and Trish sitting back wearing 3-D glasses and some popcorn.

"That one was for her first 3-D film." Orion pointed.

"Guess you and her shared similar tastes in movies, huh?" Rapunzel said with a big smile as she looked over some other drawings. "She really was an artist."

"I got my taste in movies from her." Orion remarked and then he spotted a large blush blue dolphin on the ground and picked it out. "Ah. This was her favorite toy. She used to call this Wincer." He grinned holding it up to Rapunzel.

"Awe. It's so cute." Rapunzel cooed before taking the large plushie into her arms. "Why did she name the dolphin Wincer?"

"It's named after the Director of Free Willy. We both agreed that the film was lame. But she was a Michael Jackson fan." Orion snickered. And gave the Dolphin doll a small squeeze.

*Dolphin Chirp Noise!*

The dolphin will make that noise every time it's squeezed. Pascal hopped on top of Wincer and changed into his blue color amusingly.

"That sound means he hired you to be his new Mommy. Especially since...You know." Orion hesitated but smiled anyway. Saying that the doll is now Rapunzel's. Now that Trish is gone.

Rapunzel gave her brother a sad smile in understanding and gave Orion a loving hug in thanks before looking at the dolphin plushie in her arms.

"Hey there, Wincer. My name is Rapunzel. And we're gonna be great friends from now on." Rapunzel said in a cute voice, keeping the mood light.

Even Pascal hugged it close. And Rapunzel gave Wincer the Dolphin a squeeze to hear the noise from the toy.

*Dolphin Chirp Noise!*

"he said he'll let you fill in his gap for free. " Orion winked.

"Ah, Thank you, Wincer. I promise to do my best." Rapunzel said to the plushie before turning her attention to Orion. "How are you doing?"

Orion's smile faltered as he looked at another drawing. Each was an image of vacation plans. And an image of Orion's father shaking hands with Rapunzel's father.

Rapunzel gasped at the image in surprise.

"That's my father... Shaking hands with your father." Rapunzel said in shock before turning to Orion. "Did our fathers know each other?"

"No no. My dad. Was planning to. These were...Me and Trish's list of plans for our...'vacation'...We drew all of this before heading out for your world." Orion revealed as he was staring at the images

Rapunzel's eyes widened in understanding.

"Your family was going to visit Corona?" Rapunzel asked in surprise at this bit of information.

"Why else did they end up dying in your world?" Orion inquired. And faltered. "Sorry. I mean, our world."

"What did you guys plan on doing when you got to Corona?" Rapunzel asked after a moment of pause.

"The thing is. Remember when I told you my father was trying to look for a permanent cure for my illness, knowing that it might return?" Orion reminded Rapunzel. "He also found out that the previous Maverick lived in Corona. And that the Mav Club was there along with all of his research. So finding the King's daughter in exchange for finding it. Would've been an alternate origin story for both of us."

Rapunzel understood what he was saying.

"So the two of us would have still met, even if Lash didn't interfere." Rapunzel said with understanding.

"Pretty much. And to be honest. It took long enough for us to finish." Orion said with a small grimace and a small tear as he looked at the unfinished space on the wall.

Rapunzel looked at him with concern before she tenderly pulled her younger brother into a loving hug.

"I'm so sorry, Ryan." Rapunzel said softly to him as she rubbed his back in comfort before trying to lighten the mood. "A shame she and I never met. The three of us would've been quite the trio."

Orion returned the hug and leaned into her shoulder as he shed a few small glowing tears.

"You two definitely would've tore the town apart." Orion quipped and sniffed a bit before he looked at Rapunzel. "It's bizarre. But when I used to think about Trish. All I could remember was those mechs tearing her apart. And her agonizing screams...But when I look at you. That's not what I remember about her any more."

Rapunzel gave him a tender smile as she reached up and wiped his tears away.

"What is it you remember then?" Rapunzel asked softly.

Orion smiled and looked at the wall. One for every good time he had with Trish. And he placed a hand on the wall. Where there was a drawing of Trish holding Orion as a baby.

"Everything else." Orion simply stated at all of the memories. "And..."

Then Orion placed another hand on a blank space. And used his neon power to form a drawing image of Rapunzel and Orion standing together. Holding hands. And smiling. In the same style as Trish's other drawings.

"Now it's everything that comes after." Orion smiled.

"Even though she's not with you physically. She will always live on and be with you in here." Rapunzel said as she pointed at Orion's heart, before she pointed at her own heart. "And I will carry her in my heart too."

Orion placed a hand on his heart. And nodded slowly. "Together." He whispered.

Then he looked at Rapunzel.

"There's more I wanna show you. It's not just this place. It's this town. This was our world. So now that includes you. Whenever we're feeling crowded. And want to feel the best of the many worlds we live in. Let's escape every now and then. And feel the best of both worlds here." Orion said as if he was asking for a promise from Rapunzel.

This meant everything to him. The same for Friday as well. But this was also Orion's foundation. And he's sharing it with Rapunzel.

Rapunzel let out a single tear before wiping it away and she gently touched Orion's cheek.

"It's a promise, little brother." Rapunzel said warmly.

Orion smiled as he stood back up and the walls began to glow. As the drawings began to duplicate and animate around the secret club house. To the wonder of Rapunzel's eyes as she watched in awe and wonder. Even Pascal watched in wonderment.

Then the magic of Fantasia began to spark in Orion's heart.

"In the shadow of the city~ When the days have disappeared~ Some might say it's sorta gritty~ Full of faces to be feared~" Orion sang as he displayed images of Twilight Town drawn by Trish. As he was singing perfectly and softly. "But there are wonders that are waiting~ Underneath the midnight sky~ We got the stars illuminating It's a place for a you and I~ A little space for a you and I~"

Then Orion took Rapunzel's hand and teleported to the roof of the building for them to see the stars in the sky. Rapunzel looked up in amazement. Because Twilight Town has a great view of the stars.

Another favorite spot of Trish.

"At the top of the world tonight!~ Where no one ever has to hide!~ At the top of the world tonight!~ You're sittin' safe and starry-eyed!~ There is treasure you can find!~ In somethin' someone left behind!~" Orion sang this perfectly as he flew up around the sky causing bursting images of Rapunzel's town of Corona next to another one of an image of Twilight Town.

Rapunzel was beyond words at the beauty that was before her. Between Orion's singing and his neon powers mixing with the natural beauty of the city, it brought a bright cheery smile to her face and silent tears of joy and beauty forming at the sides of her eyes.

"At the top of the world tonight!~ It can stay this way, at least until the mornin' light~" Orion sang as he then flew down and took Rapunzel's hand and took her up in the air to fly her up with him and formed an Arora of neon around Rapunzel's body so she could stay afloat and to pull her weight in the air.

Then he zoomed across the sky.

Rapunzel grew excited and waved her hand sabout and joyfully kicked her bare feet as they soared. Pascal held onto her shoulder as they flew and the little chameleon enjoyed the view.

"WOOOOOOHOOOOOO! Rapunzel cheered as they soared through the sky.

While Orion flew Rapunzel across the night sky of the city, he used his neon cloaking shade effect to block them from being spotted by anyone down below.

Then they spotted a homeless woman and her five year old girl, and a eight year old boy holding her hands as they walked up with her near the bank, and then they stayed near their mother while the woman was trying to access her bank account on an ATM. They were just kicked out of their apartment after they were late on the rent. And their stuff was repossessed.

Rapunzel and Orion felt bad as they hovered above them. But Orion held a gesture to Rapunzel to hold a moment as he landed her on a rooftop and she waited there.

While Orion discreetly worked his magic.

"Through the dark, there's someone's singin'~ Like an old familiar song~Like you fell into a melody that's bringin'~ You right here where you can beloooong!~" Orion sang as he used his Gummi Phone to hack the ATM. And wire a a lot into her account.

Suddenly as the woman opened her account. Her current balance of ***'$11.92.'*** had a negative of insufficient funds. Then the screen started to flicker as the woman was about to give up. Her current balance suddenly skyrocketed.

And her account received a notification read as follows.

***'CONGRATULATIONS! You have won the Twilight Town National Bank $500.000. Special Customer Prize!'***

And the five hundred thousand dollars appeared in her account. More than enough for a single mother to start her life over with a great start. He also reminded himself to send her a job invitation to Multi-Corp commercial district building near by.

The woman gasped in total shock and started sobbing and laughing. While she picked her daughter up and twirled in a dance while cheering and crying. And the boy was asking what was going on.

These kids are in for one fantastic childhood now.

Rapunzel was stunned at first, but grew a big smile with a tear falling from her eye at what she just witnessed her brother do for the poor woman and her children, prompting her to wrap an arm around her brother, giving him a brief one-armed hug.

Orion leaned into her hug before he hovered each other both up in the air and flew across the city.

"And there are wonders that are waiting~ Underneath the midnight sky and~ By the stars, we're navigating~ To a place for a you and Iiiiiiiiiii!~" Orion sang as they went across the sky together and he flew miles high in the sky with Rapunzel's simultaneously with him.

Then he flew around the clock tower of the train station with Rapunzel laughing as she enjoyed the ride.

"At the top of the world tonight!~ Where no one ever has to hide!~ At the top of the world tonight!~ You're sittin' safe and starry-eyed!~" Orion sang as he flew up towards the top of the tower. "There is treasure you can find!~ In somethin' someone left behind!~ At the top of the world tonight!~ It can stay this way, at least until the mornin' light~"

Then Orion and Rapunzel landed and stood on the ledge near the tower and had a view of the entire town. With the moonlight in the sky.

"At the top of the world!~ The top of the wooooooooooorld!~ At top of the world tonight!~" Orion sang amazingly as he concluded the song.

Then he held his hands out and caused the logo of the Maverick and Corona's sunflower symbol to appear in the sky.

Rapunzel looked out towards the town, everything looking so beautiful, and just smiled at it all, pulling her brother close as they watched the town. Everything feels complete and peaceful. Just as it should be. Even Pascal smiled up feeling the same thing.

Orion hugged Rapunzel back. This was the closest he's ever been to his sister Trish. And Rapunzel embraced back.

"I love you, Sis." Orion whispered.

"I love you too, Little Bro." Rapunzel whispered back, giving him a loving kiss on the cheek.

At this very night. Wasn't just the first of many in Orion and Rapunzel's newest journey. But it was a new foundation. For something wonderful to come.

And much like the Arcade. There will be tough challenges. Damage will be done. Threats will arrive. But Orion will be prepared. Because with everyone at his side. With his friends. wife. Family. And his sister at his side. He will prevail. And he will save the day. And face the unknown.

Because he is the Maverick. And his sister is in his heart. And righ t by his side.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉

Up next…..Here's a big hint. WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF?!

"That's not a hint. That's a dead giveaway." Maverick remarked.😆

Who asked you? 😒

I hope this game chapter was more satisfying than Gotham Knights! Lol 😂

And yes Batman who was a game character is also played by Kevin Conroy. Along with the Superman and Wonder Woman's voice actors from the Injustice series. 👍

RIP Kevin…..

And RIP to you too David Jason Frank. For bringing Tommy Oliver to the childhoods of many. (I added that one after forgetting. 😅 Thank for point that out, KingdomWarrior125!)

I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. And I hope we all have something to be grateful for. And especially grateful to have all of your support. Without you readers I'd have no reason to continue.

But I especially love the thrill of having the freedom to express my love for Disney. And here's hoping that with the return of Bob Iger as CEO of the House Of Mouse once again. There's a bright future in store for Disney. 👍😁

So what did you guys think of Mario being added in? (Yes I saw the trailer and loved it. Unlike Tom Holland's Nathan Drake I'm willing to give Chris Pratt a chance 👌😉)

Didn't expect to see Turbo return as a Heartless?

What do you think of Hayner's hideout being used for Orion and Trish's old hideout?
