Wreck It Ralph: Static Frequency ch. 7

Calhoun watched as a bolt of lightning struck nearby, "Huh… these are some pretty decent graphics…"
"Ya think it's a new game they just haven't released yet?" questioned Felix, as he stood next to his wife, scanning the area.
"I don't think so," she stated, "Seems kinda… I don't know… outta place for an arcade game,"
Felix nodded, "Hmmm, maybe you're right…"
Continuing on their way through the muck of the forest, Calhoun waved for Felix to stop, a low growl being heard. She aimed her gun carefully, but the creature merely roared, shooting out a bolt of lightning and darting away. Felix and Calhoun managed to roll away unharmed, but soaked in the murky goop.
"Gosh! What was that!?" Felix tried to wipe some of the goop from his pants.
"Something that's not supposed to belong here…" she glared.
"How do ya know that?" he continued to shake the mud off before going over to his wife and brushing the remaining goop from her as well.
Her eyes went wide, "I think I know why this game is so foreign," she stated.
"Why?" Felix adjusted his hat.
"Don't wanna make any assumptions till I know for sure," she glared out into the open, "Let's go… it's more afraid of us than we are of it,"

Vanellope struggled against the restraints of the wires her glitch not being able to work, "Ugh! Let me go!"
"Not a chance little one…." Smiled a tall being of bright, white light, "You…. You will lead him here…"
"What!? What are you talking about lady? You sound like you've been drinkin too much root beer or sniffin' a lotta pixy sticks if ya know what I mean!" Vanellope joked, quirking an eyebrow.
The being merely snorted in reply, "Make your little jokes while you can…." She hissed, "You…. Will be nothing more than old data soon enough.
Vanellope glared back at the specter like figure as it disappeared into the next room. Afterwards she turned her face to the window, a small frown crossing her lips.
"I- I wish you were here Ralph," she sniffed before looking back down at the floor of the tower, small tears forming in her eyes.

Lucky had decided to walk on foot by this point. The muck had ended a few years back, and now they were circling the building, trying to find a way inside to no avail. Ralph had tried to punch the wall in as well, but it jiggled and sprung back out like a glob of jelly. He was still ramming his fists into it hoping the substance would have some sort of weakness.
Lucky sighed, "What to do…?"
Ralph fired one more punch before falling backwards onto the ground and landing on his behind, breathing heavily, "Whew… I'm glad the Nicelanders never found out about this stuff…"
Lucky went over poking the wall and watched the jelly jiggle again. She followed the movements seeing…. a hole! There was an open window!
"Ralph… think you could toss me up to that window?" she asked.
"Well yeah… but what if we miss?" he stood up looking to the window, "You could get hurt…" he didn't like that idea.
"Well… I am Lady Lucky…. Let's see exactly how lucky I am!" she felt her body shake.
She was scared… but she could only imagine how scared Vanellope was… She took a deep breath before standing on Ralph's hand. He lifted her up and waited for her signal.
"You sure ya wanna do this?" he asked.
"Yeah… I'm sure," she nodded, "Now just aim for the window, when I'm inside, I'll find a way to let you in alright?"
He nodded, "Be careful,"
She gave a worried smile, "No guarantees…"
He gave a worried frown before taking a deep breath and vaulted the other into the air.
She gave a squeak as she felt her body soar above the ground and, luckily enough, through the window. She let out a groan as she toppled to the ground, her head spinning. The building was old… probably from the early 8-bit games like Ralph was from… it was strange how this building was so old and yet… the scenery outside was so… smooth!
She felt a cold breeze down her neck and shivered.
Turning around she saw that there was no one there. She gulped and continued along her way. It was so dark and almost impossible to see…
"If only I had a light…" she stumbled over something landing face first onto the ground, "OWCH!"
She turned around to see a human skull. Her eyes grew wide and she screamed, turning tail and running. "AM I IN A HACKING DUNGEON!?" she whimpered, "I DON'T EVEN HAVE A WAY TO DEFEND MYSELF!"
It was then that she found a light down the corridor. A torch to be exact. Grabbing it she made a 'thank you' face, keeping it as close to herself as possible.
Another breath of cold air down her neck.
Turning around again, there was nothing there. She panicked, and looked up.
A man with no face, and a black suit, with tendril like appendages looked down at her, reaching out with long arms. Her eyes grew wide, and she ran as fast as she could down the stone stairway.
"Oh my gosh! I know what this is! This is that new level for that Slender game!"  she cried.
She didn't have time to think about the logic behind the graphics, but she did know that if the Slender guy caught you, it was instant game over. The gamers said something about eating you or painfully dismembering you. Either way, she wasn't about to find out.

Ralph looked up at the window after hearing the sharp scream, "LUCKY!? LUCKY ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?"
He panicked. What was he to do? He couldn't break through the jelly.
"I gotta try…!" he growled, running back as far as he could and running at full speed into the wall fist first.
A small crack resulted. He frowned, running all the way back and dashing forward again. A slightly bigger crack formed.
"One more time," he huffed, as he yet again went back, putting all the force he could into this punch, and shattering the wall.
He sighed in relief seeing the wall had been shattered. But…
The wall of jelly still remained!? He growled, "Mod hack it!"
He tried to slide his body through the jelly, but could only manage to get half way through. He refused to give up. He had to keep trying!

Lucky ran down into the living space of the building, hiding behind a sofa. She hid back her whimpers as the Mysterious being tailed her, a low growl being heard. She hid her face in her knees.
He hovered dangerously over her… but disappeared into another room.
She let out a small sigh as she got up and darted to the other side of the room. There she saw it… a bright light! As quickly as her feet could carry her she ran towards the light.
"Lucky! LUCKY CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" shouted Ralph.
Lucky smiled running towards the sound of Ralph's voice. She was so happy, she felt her body get flung backwards into the wall.
The jelly field.
She panicked, rubbing her hands over the surface.
"Lucky! You've gotta try to grab my hand!" Ralph begged, pushing his hand as deep into the jelly as he could.
"I can't!" she screamed, and she was sure the monster knew where she was by now.
"You've gotta try!" he grunted, trying as hard as he could.
Lucky pushed her arm into the jelly. It was thick and slimy, desperately trying to expel her arm from its innards. She kept pushing until it was up to her shoulder.
She could see Ralph's panicked expression. She knew the monster had to be right behind her. She stopped trying, gradually letting the jelly try to repel her.
"Go find Vanellope Ralph, that little girl needs you," she felt fear tighten in her chest as the monsters call could be heard behind her.
"No! No you can't!" he called, his face contorted into a sad scowl.
She gave a small smile, "Ya know Ralph, it's sad… I- I really liked you,"
Ralph looked as the Slender Man was behind her, the tendrils reaching out for her. With one more push, he reached through and grabbed her hand, pulling her through the thick slime and outside into the open, before she landed on top of him.
She coughed up a bit of jelly before the both of them looked back to where Lucky once had been, the monster growling in anger and desperately trying to free itself. It eventually gave up, returning to its lair. Lucky smiled and gave a half hysterical, half happy laugh.
"Don't call ya Lucky for nothin'," he joked.
"Yeah," nodded Lucky, "Guess they don't"
Ralph fidgeted awkwardly as he helped her off of him and onto her feet, before standing up himself, "S-so…. You like me…?"
Lucky chuckled, "Um…. Yeah…. Yeah, actually… I think I do,"
Ralph couldn't help but smile before he snapped himself back to reality, "Uhh, we… we should keep looking for Vanellope,"
Lucky nodded, "Yeah… so much for the lookout plan,"
"Least' you're alive," he pointed towards her.
"Yeah, at least theirs that…" she gave him a playful slug on the shoulder before they both headed towards the inner parts of the city.

"Grrrrr….." the growl of the beast was heard again.
"Umm, honey…? Are you sure that thing's more afraid of us…?" asked Felix, unnerved by the beast that had been following them.
Calhoun nodded, "Yeah, I'm sure, seen the thing before at the arcade,"
"I haven't…" Felix eyed where the monster was.
"I'm pretty confident my guess was correct," she grimaced.
"Y-yeah? What's the theory…?" he asked.
"We're in one of those portable systems…. More than likely a laptop," she nodded, confirming her fears.
