Hello There Every Person

Hello everyone! Sparkler here, and welcome to our lovely corner of Sugar Rush! Now that my friends and I have found ourselves a little home, we're defiantly here to stay. And though I may still not be welcome here by many of you sprites, I'm still not looking for a fight. Just good times with my friends and my now little brother Chase. Active roleplay oc blog for the movie, Wreck-it Ralph. Status: Sparkler cannot leave Sugar Rush without consequences. By the orders of the Heads of Sugar Rush, Sparkler now also wears a virus proof suit, that both hinders her abilities and prevents her from disintegrating things. The removal of the suit takes three keys, however there are others ways that have yet to be discovered. M!A on hold: Bloody Mary 8 hrs for Sparkler, Pink Elephants 6 hrs for Sparkler, Baby Mine 1 week for both Perm!A: none

[wild-champion]

Twilight followed not far behind, doing his best to keep pace.

Long leaps and sprints weren't exactly his forte in this form... but he always made due. And if he suffered a little fall damage, then fine. He just needed to be there defending their best chance of ending the fight favorably.

[sparkler-v]

Irratation.

The monks vanished only to reappear, like wasps poking at him with stingers of arrows or blades that slowed him.

Irritation.

Spider like machines with their cannon fire forced him to slow again and again. Burning, tearing through flesh that healed over again and again. Tiring, frustrating with how many times he'd needed to pause.

Irritation.

Buildings destroyed. Limbs torn, one of the machines dead. Yet, all of the targets that mattered were still standing.

Irritation.

That plant, that nuisance. That boy, that frustrating shanny.

His fingers twitched with irritation. Always out of range. Always out of range!!

Reaching into the depths of his tattered duster, Duke pulled out a double barrel shotgun. Then in one fluid motion; brought the butt end to his shoulder, cocked it open, loaded, shut, then fired...

Two consecutive bullets. Both at the plant already leaping off the roof.

[wild-champion]

The shot would be devastating, and was far too fast for Twilight to even think of intervening... but luckily for them, he wasn't fighting alone.

In an instant, two of Maz Koshia's clones appeared in the path of the bullets, only to burst apart upon contact.

Better to lose clones that could be easily restored than let their adversary get what they wanted. Even if the old monk didn't have the content Twilight did.

[sparkler-v]

Repeater splat landed once again, though the comedic effect of it was lost in the wake of the gunfire. As he shot up in his pot, staring wide eyed at the giant reloading his gun. Before turning tail and scampering off in the opposite direction.

Weaving back and forth, practically dragging his own head behind him as his slithery roots carried him as fast as they could.

Frustration was all that shot through Duke's mind as he took aim as he stomped down the path and fired.

[wild-champion]

"Shit..." Twilight mumbled.

"I doubt it's me. He didn't give a damn until I picked you up."

And considering the impressive firepower Repeater could spawn, plus their apparent stance towards zombies... it made sense.

"... He's also the one that collapsed the house you were in, by the way. Kinda thought you were dead after that."

[sparkler-v]

"Well," the Sergeant trembled, appearing a more then just a little intimated at the thought of being the target to a Stalker, "That's terrible..."

It was then that something quite large and yellow in the distance caught his eye. Making him blink in disbelieve before grinning at the sight.

"Twilight! One've my Cob Cannons survived!" he shouted, pointing at said cannon by Impa's hut, "If I can get to it, I can reconnect."

Plus, there was water close to it... That gave him an idea.

[wild-champion]

Twilight followed their gaze... and nodded.

"Alright... Sprint to the goal and defend. Got it..."

Hopefully Maz Koshia was still- oh. There he was, launching another volley of attacks against Duke. Mostly ranged still, but not entirely. Or rather... there were his clones. No way the old monk was risking infection in a battle this critical.

[sparkler-v]

Not when they had no method of curing it, yet with that wooden mask firmly in place as Duke brushed off the latest volley of arrows. Like they were more of a nuisance then an actual threat. It appeared he was more interested in crushing their bodies with his bare fists, then exposing his teeth to infect them.

Hopefully that wouldn't change...

Taking a breath, Repeater steeled himself before taking a running leap off the side of the mountain. His landing less then graceful, as his pot hit the thatched roof of Cado's house below. Before gravity caused him to splat forward onto the roof; head, leaves, and all. Stars in various shades of yellows and gold flashed cartoonishly around his head as he lifted himself up. Swaying for a moment, before shaking off the dizziness.

His eyes quickly finding the edge of the roof right before him. His last leap down before the dead sprint over to the cannon awaiting orders.

[wild-champion]

"Shit..." Twilight mumbled.

"I doubt it's me. He didn't give a damn until I picked you up."

And considering the impressive firepower Repeater could spawn, plus their apparent stance towards zombies... it made sense.

[wild-champion]

Impressive record, considering what could happen to some sprites.

"Link. Hero of Twilight, now an exclusive bonus companion for the current Hero. But considering we share a name, Twilight is fine. Currently very new, but my story dates back to 2006."

Which would be... roughly three years prior to Repeater, give or take depending on month of release.

[sparkler-v]

"Good to meet you, Twilight."

The Sergeant nodded, relaxing again while looking pleased. Though it didn't last long as his head turned back towards the village.

"Now that's out of the way. We've got a bit of a problem on top of yours. See, I can't feel my remaining soldiers anymore. I think when you removed that mushroom, I lost my connection to them. Which means, none of my generators are sending me sunlight... Now I can help you, but every seed I plant comes at a cost, and I only have two thousand sunlight to work with... We're going to have to use it wisely if we're going to pop the head off of Duke. Which we will have to. That is not an undead you can negotiate with or contain. You kill it or it eats you."

[wild-champion]

Twilight nodded grimly.

"I gathered that... Now let's move. I'm sure Maz Koshia and the Guardians are having a hell of a time keeping him back."

[sparkler-v]

Nodding in return, Repeater turned and immediately used some of his sunlight to fire off a single seed packet. Planting a flower pot of all things, that he promptly threw himself root first into. Sinking said roots deep into the soil, until they burst out of the sides of the terra cotta. Creating a few strategic holes for them to twist out of, as they lifted him off the ground and began to quickly carry him down the path back to the village.

[wild-champion]

... Thank Ordona the Babas didn't have anything comparable. The Baba Serpents were already bad enough...

Regardless of unconventional plant maneuvering capabilities, Twilight quickly ran after their tentative ally. The sooner they got back to the battlefield, the better.

[sparkler-v]

It didn't take long to enter the fray once more, as they approached the shrine atop the hill overlooking the village. The view of which had changed quite dramatically since their departure. As smoke rose from the clothing shop that now laid in smoldering ruins. While the pumpkin farmer's house faired no better, nor did Dorian's home as a wounded Guardian crawled out of the collapsed remains of the single father's home.

Stopping at the top of the hill, the Sergeant narrowed his eyes as he looked over the wreckage between fires, broken homes, and fallen trees. Searching only briefly before finding their target stomping away from the remains of Olkin's home. His duster in tatters from the many attacks made upon the undead beast. Yet he straight up ignoring the Guardians on his path towards the bottom of the hill.

Flinching, Repeater took a step backwards. Glancing nervously up at Twilight, before shouting over the crashing sounds of the Guardian's laser fire.

"Okay. Good news, bad news. I know exactly what type of zombie Duke is, and one of us is the target."

[wild-champion]

Impressive record, considering what could happen to some sprites.

"Link. Hero of Twilight, now an exclusive bonus companion for the current Hero. But considering we share a name, Twilight is fine. Currently very new, but my story dates back to 2006."

[wild-champion]

Twilight sighed.

"Long story... Short version, the virus is... unique. Sentient. And that's not me being brainwashed myself-"

He reached back, one finger tapping the pommel of the Master Sword.

"Holy sword - antiviral after hours. She and Slim have a... bloody history. She took his Good Guy. Wasn't allowed to rectify her mistake. He killed someone she cared about in the name of retaliation and thirst for power. Now, she's just trying to keep her friend's kid safe from the monster that took his dad from him. Stumbled into our game, and our Hero took a shine to her... I've seen terrible things myself. Corruption, evil, mind twisting dark powers... Sparkler is not evil. Slim, on the other hand... He infected our Princess, namesake of the game, during a peaceful first meeting. He's corrupted and forced the deactivation of an entire village, innocents and young children included... He's the one threatening us. Not Sparkler."

[sparkler-v]

The plant simply... stared. Squinting skeptically, yet something in his expression seemed to hint belief.

"That sounds... messy... I can believe a virus gaining sentience. After all, just look at me. I wasn't programmed to be any different from my soldiers, yet here I am. Leading an army instead of blindly firing in one direction... But that whole history between your virus, and the hunter that just happened to be hired to exterminate her..."

Shaking his head, he held out his leaves placating at Twilight.

"Look. I don't think I can believe all of that right off the bat. But..." curling the ends of his leaves into little fists, the plant seethed, "I believe everything about Slim."

[wild-champion]

Twilight puffed out a short sigh, sparing a moment to glance back towards the village. No doubt things would only be deteriorating further, with or without him.

"Then it sounds like we're on the same page where it counts... So. Feel like helping us? Can't say I'd blame you if not."

[sparkler-v]

"Huh?"

Blinking, the plant's head shot up as he seemed to remember why this conversation had started in the first place.

"Oh! Oh, yeah. I was always going to help you in someway. I think I owe you, more then just one... Oh, I should probably introduce myself first."

Clearing his throat, the plant suddenly stood ramrod straight as he saluted up at the hero.

"Sergeant Repeater, at your service! Game of origin, Plants Verses Zombies. Years in service, seventeen."

[wild-champion]

Twilight sighed.

"Long story... Short version, the virus is... unique. Sentient. And that's not me being brainwashed myself-"

He reached back, one finger tapping the pommel of the Master Sword.

[wild-champion]

There were... several avenues he could take that question down. But considering the whole checking for a mushroom thing, he'd go with that one.

"... Because it was the right thing to do...? We want to protect our game, sure, but murder of an innocent isn't exactly something we're aiming for here."

[sparkler-v]

For a moment the plant considered his words, before tilting his head skeptically.

"And what proof that you have that I'm innocent..? I did come to your game with those- with those..."

Looking disgusted, the plant crossed his leaves and turned away. Muttering what sounded like a name under his breath, along with something about how he thought they'd had a understanding.

"She knows what game I'm from. And to use one've my own soldiers... Against me..!"

[wild-champion]

Twilight frowned a bit, arms folding over his chest.

"You had a mushroom on your head. You were brainwashed. Call me crazy, but every brainwashed enemy I've faced wasn't an issue after the real problem was taken care of."

[sparkler-v]

"Well, you've got me there," the plant easily admitted, though still frustrated by his predicament, "Excuse me if I'm not sure who I can trust right now. After my contract owner just decided to do that to me..!"

Letting out a long sigh, he set his helmet back upon his head before his entire body sagged in disappointment.

"And I thought she was the one... Guess she wanted the money in the end."

[wild-champion]

Twilight shook his head slightly.

"Well... whatever your predicament is, we could use your help. If you're willing."

He wasn't about to sink to Slim's level and force him. But if he didn't help... this would be a lot more difficult, if not impossible.

[sparkler-v]

For a moment the plant's eyes furrowed in confusion as he turned back to him.

"Wait. Isn't that what we.. or they're already doing? Helping your game by clearing out that virus..? Just, why are you all fighting against them? And why are you trying to keep Dicentra from doing her job? Without access to the Code Vault, she can't clean up after those hunters. And you know they're going to make a mess, being zombies and all."

His roots curled up closer to himself as he shuttered.

"Especially Resident Evil inspired zombies. Anything from an RE game or inspired by one is the worst. Though I guess you need the worst to take down a virus as bad as the one infecting this game."

[wild-champion]

There were... several avenues he could take that question down. But considering the whole checking for a mushroom thing, he'd go with that one.

[wild-champion]

Thank the Goddesses...

Twilight slowed as he came close, reaching up to cup the Fairy and bring it down close.

Please let this work...

[sparkler-v]

As if sensing his dire need, the fairy didn't attempt to flee but instead allowed itself to be gently guided. Encircling the plant once it sensed his injuries. Covering it from root to stem with its glittering healing magic.

Right before Twilight's eyes, the bruises on the plant faded. His leaves grew back as his roots thickened from their dried, shriveled state. Then most importantly the fatal bend in his stem straightened and healed without so much of a crease left behind in his green flesh. Leaving him in a far better physical state then he'd been even before the battle.

... Then slowly... he opened his eyes...

"Huh..? What?"

[wild-champion]

Twilight's expression was grim... but not unkind.

"Welcome back to the world of the living."

[sparkler-v]

The plant froze. Only just realizing he was being held as he looked at Twilight from the corner of his eye, before letting out a panicked shout while violently flinching back. Wiggling and squirming to get out of Twilight's arms, as his tangle of roots twisted around each other and pushed against Twilight similar to rope like legs.

[wild-champion]

"Wh-!! Hells-!!"

Twilight fumbled the plant for a moment or two before dropping them entirely and scrambling a step or two backwards.

That was... not exactly the reaction he expected. But under the circumstances, he couldn't really be mad about it.

[sparkler-v]

The plant landed with a splat, springing up not a second later as he choppedly looked himself over. Seemingly forgetting Twilight's presence as he paid particular attention to where his stem had previously bent. Before his leaves shot up, tearing off his helmet as he began to frantically pat his leafy head.

Gradually, the panicked motions began to slow to a stop, and his breathing calmed as he found nothing there. Then his eyes turned up. Confused and searching while trained upon Twilight as he continued to hold his head, breathing.

"... Why?"

[wild-champion]

Thank the Goddesses...

Twilight slowed as he came close, reaching up to cup the Fairy and bring it down close.

... Then slowly... he opened his eyes...

"Huh..? What?"

[wild-champion]

Before he could do much, however, Maz Koshia's copies had reappeared, attacking just the same as they had before - arrows, blades, lightning quick speed!

Twilight spared only a brief glance back over his shoulder before starting to book it towards the path leading up to the woods.

[sparkler-v]

The large brut dropped the sword, changing tactics immediately. Gripping the leg of the Guardian with both hands as he heaved and swung the heavy, lifeless hull similar to preforming a spin attack. Though perhaps closer to spinning a large, spiky shelled turtle by his tail. With the clear intent of both driving the copies back, and inflicting as much damage as possible upon the ones that couldn't dodge in time.

Meanwhile, the plant fell silent. His head coming to fall on the hero's shoulder as he simply laid limp in Twilight's arms.

[wild-champion]

Several of Maz Koshia's copies poofed into nonexistence immediately, though the ones relying on their bows were largely spared. Not a single one of them struck was the real monk... and it was unclear if any of the remaining ones were real, either. In all likelihood, the true Maz Koshia could have simply hidden himself away, sending his copies on to fight without risk of infection or death.

Either way, Twilight couldn't trouble himself with where anyone else may have been. He kept running, soon coming to the incline that led to the shrine, then out of the village entirely.

Goddess, don't let him be too late...

[sparkler-v]

The plant continued to hang loosely in his arms. Quiet... perhaps unconscious again. Though still solid with no signs of those red pixels that had consumed the other plants.

He was weak, yet still holding on.

[wild-champion]

Twilight could only pray he stayed that way as he sprinted past the shrine and into the woods, slowing only when he was drawing close to the Fairy Fountain.

[sparkler-v]

The fountain sparkled in the sunlight filtered by the many trees growing throughout the forest grove. Its waters crystal and clear, untainted by their loathsome foes and the infectious disease they carried. Though there was no sign of the Great Fairy leaning upon its massive flower petals, nor boredly playing with the golden decorations hanging around its edge.

Yet... it sparkled, as delicate wings fluttered over its surface. Carrying the soft pink light of an innocent fairy.
