A Second Chance (Wreck it Ralph 1.5)(WIP)

Chapter 12 - The True Story Continued

"But, all that aside, there was one thing that topped everything like the cherry on top of a sundae; they had a princess. This game had a ruler – and you wanna know the best thing about it? That ruler was just as eligible to be a playable character as anyone else. She was still treated like a royal authority figure, as she was always the one to start the races, and made the crowds of people cheer like crazy just by her appearance, but she still got to race and had as much fun as your average racer. It was the best of both worlds! Whoever this was, she had everything that I've been wanting back for an entire decade and more! That was the moment when I knew, I had to be the ruler of this game.

Turbo gazed in awe as he watched the racers prepare to begin the Random Roster Race. Suddenly, Sour Bill walked onto the giant popcorn box podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Sugar Rush," he said in his usual monotone voice, "All hail your rightful ruler, Princess Vanellope von Schweetz."

Vanellope stepped out from behind the curtain, wearing her large, elegant pink dress with her sparkling tiara, "Welcome, my fellow subjects! How is everyone today?"

The crowd went wild, cheering as loud as they could. The ruler smiled, "Now, you all know the rules; you gotta pay to play using your coins won from your previous wins. Everyone has theirs, right?"

Much to her delight, every racer had their own gold coin with the crown-shaped hole in the middle.

Turbo gave a half-smile, "You gotta earn your way on the roster, huh? Interesting..."

Vanellope spun around, transforming her dress into her usual racing outfit, "So, what are you all waiting for? Let's get started!"

Turbo watched in awe as everyone tossed their coins in the trophy that topped the finish line, hearing their names as they appeared on the roster one by one. Once everyone payed, they all hopped into their karts, as the announcer counted down, "3....2....1...Go!" They were off, driving as fast as they could, competing to get to the finish line.

The outsider looked up at the Jumbo-Tron screen and watched as they drove through the creatively designed racetrack. He was just so amazed at how much better everything looked compared to any other game he had seen in his life. Was this really what video games were starting to look like?

That's when Turbo started to think – how was he going to fit himself into the game? Obviously, he couldn't just put himself in as Turbo; that would be too obvious and out of character for this game. He pondered for a bit, until he came up with the perfect idea that would change his life forever.

"King Candy. It was the perfect persona to slip into and blend in perfectly. He'd have a cheerful, bubbly personality, while also being strict when he needs to. Not only that, but he would be a pretty charismatic and likeable leader, too. I also decided to give him a lisp, as well as a slight Boston accent, so I could disguise my voice – because, come on; wouldn't it be suspicious if you just heard my voice coming out of this brand new character? That'd be ridiculous."

Turbo slightly shook his head, putting the subject back in focus, "Anyway, now that I had an idea of who I was gonna be, I had to find a way into the game's code room without getting caught. Considering that this game had a princess; and presumably a strong force of royal guards; this was going to be really difficult...

Turbo carefully walked around the empty landscapes of Sugar Rush, looking for the code room. "Where in the world would they keep the code room?" he mumbled to himself, looking around the candy-themed game.

Suddenly, he noticed the giant castle a few miles away from his right. "Of course! How could I have been so stupid?" he said to himself, "If they kept the code room anywhere, it would probably be in the castle!"
