Chapter 1: Praecaveo

There it was, the "Medal of Heroes". Wreck-It-Ralph was finally able to claim a medal he earned by using his underappreciated assets: climbing and wrecking. He thought he found the shiniest medal that Niceland has ever seen. A medal so good that it would make Felix's medals wet their pants.

General Hologram in his stoic posture congratulated Ralph, along with many other holograms following suit. No other time in Ralph's thirty years of existence made him feel like a hero than during that ceremony.

After Wreck-It received the medal, pride almost got the best of him. He was so caught up in the moment, almost forgetting the sea of cybug eggs that laid throughout the room. As Ralph walked down the stairs, still savoring the congratulations and the lightshow, he was just a step away from stepping on an egg. On the spur of the moment, Ralph turned his eyes and locked them on the egg just in front of his left foot. Frozen and almost cringing, he made a sigh of relief as he pulled his foot back. Ralph didn't exactly know what would happen should he touch an egg, but he wanted to play it safe. Ralph carefully tip-toed his way across the sea of ovals back to where he entered. It was a miracle that he was able to avoid physical contact with any of the eggs considering his enormous feet.

…Ralph didn't know how life changing it would be - stepping on that egg that stood in front of his left foot - and he had no intentions on finding out.

Climbing up the building in Hero's Duty was already a challenge, what with it being much larger and more complex than the apartment in Niceland. And unlike Fix it Felix Jr., Hero's Duty does not have a conveniently placed pile of mud or a safety net for Ralph to fall in. He had to descend down the building the hard way – the outside walls. He wasn't sure how the traditional route from the bottom floor to the top was, but he wasn't going to take any chances. With the medal tucked in his shirt, Ralph made his long way down the building, excited as well as oblivious to the ruckus he caused for going turbo.

Hello, fellow Wreck-It-Ralph fans. I've been pondering on all the sequences of events that seem very arbitrary in Wreck-It-Ralph, but in the grand scheme of things, make a very significant impact on how the rest of the story goes. I just wanted to share my interpretation of this idea.

Let me know about some things in the story that I can do and do without, it would help greatly. but that's just me. It's possible that chapters will come in weekly updates.
