Chapter 9: Turbo's Confession
Vanellope's P.O.V
When I saw Turbo again walking into the dance hall, my digits ran cold with fear. I looked up at Faye who seemed unconcerned with the distress yet she looked more curious. She walked through the crowd and I looked around the room. Ralph's eyes bulged but soon I saw his fists clench in anger. After all he remembered as well as I what Turbo tried to do to us. Felix looked scared but held his hammer and Calhoun looked angry and was reaching for her gun. The Sugar Rush kids looked around in fear unsure what to do. I closed my eyes begging for this to be a horrible nightmare. Yet when I opened my eyes he was still there. He walked around asking his subjects if they missed their king. Yet things got weird really quick when I heard Faye say, "T".
Turbo turned around in utter shock from what I could tell. When his eyes locked on Faye, it was like he was looking at a ghost. He took a few steps back but soon tears actual tears fell from his face. Then he said, "Faye, you are alive!" I find that puzzling for why would he say that. His face showed nothing but joy as he lunged himself at Faye wrapping his arms around her waist. Faye fell to her knees as tears fell from her face yet she was smiling, the happiest smile I had ever seen.
"You are alive, I missed you so much T!" Faye exclaimed hugging him. This was getting so weird I thought.
Yet it got weirder for Turbo looked up at Faye and said, "And I missed you Faye, my little girl". Then he kissed her on top of her head. Everyone began to whisper as Felix and Tamora exchanged odd looks at each other. Ralph was now up walking towards me I guess to make sure I was safe. My mind was not on my safety but for Faye's safety. Before Ralph could make it to me I ran out of the crowd towards Faye.
"Faye get away from him, he is evil!" I yelled. Turbo saw me and I swear a look of pain was on his face. He released Faye and took a step back.
"Hello Vanellope," he said gently. I glared at him as I got between him and Faye.
"Vanellope, what is the matter this is T my friend," Faye told me. She looked around at everyone wondering why they were all looking at Turbo like he was a virus of something.
"Faye, you don't understand this is Turbo, he is the one who made me a glitch! He turned my own friends against me; he tried to kill Ralph and me, and morphed with those cy-bugs and allowed them to destroy Sugar Rush. If it wasn't for Tamora and Felix's help as well as Ralph's strength Turbo would have destroyed Sugar Rush and everyone in it!" I cried. Faye's demeanor changed as she looked at me like I lost my mind.
"Vanellope, you are mistaken T would never harm anyone especially a child. He is my friend; he protected me many years ago, gave me food and was like a father to me. There is no way he would do anything so heartless," Faye said.
"It is true Faye; Turbo got his own game as well as another game unplugged. Then he went to Sugar Rush locked away all of the residents memories and tried to delete Vanellope's code," Ralph said standing by me. Faye's demeanor changed to sadness but she still stood up for Turbo.
"No it has to be a misunderstanding, I know T. He is a hero he would never do anything like that. Something had to control him or make him do it!" she argued.
"Faye, he is a bad guy and everything Ralph and Vanellope said was true," Tamora said softly. Even Felix shed a small tear for Faye.
"It is true honey," he said. Faye's face looked scared as Ash and Flame rubbed against her leg. Finally she looked at Turbo with a look that cut my heart in two making me cry.
Faye's P.O.V
I looked at Turbo digesting what my friends told me. In my mind I still see him as my friend a second father. When I was small he would take me for rides in his car. Buy me ice cream at the parlor in his game. Teach me everything about racing as well as share his stories. Even made a small pallet on his couch for days I didn't want to go back to my game. Fed Ash and Flame milk and tuna and all those other happy moments I recalled. When I stared at him now I had to learn the truth, even if it meant shattering what was left of my already fragile heart. "Look at me T," I said calmly. He slowly looked at my face his face showed nothing but pain. "Tell me the truth T; tell them they are wrong that you didn't do the stuff they said you did. Tell me the truth even if I may not want to hear it," I begged.
"Faye, I am so sorry but everything they said about me was true. I did get my game, and another game unplugged, I made Vanellope a glitch, I tried to kill everyone, and even destroy this game to keep what I built," he said tears falling down his face.
"Why?" I demanded as hot tears fell from my face. "Why would you do something so heartless? After you knew how I was treated you did the same thing to Vanellope! Why? I trusted you! You were my friend I thought you were different but you are just like Anthony!" I yelled. Anger filled me to my core. I wanted to hear him out but I was so angry and so hurt.
"Faye, please let me explain!" Turbo begged walking closer to me. The pain grew on his face but I didn't care. Still I had to know so I fought my anger.
"Explain," I said firmly.
"Anthony lied to me! He told me you were dead, when you left my game, I didn't see you for days. I grew worried so I went to your game to find you," Turbo explained.
"You went to Heavenly Wars?" I asked.
"Yes, I did and that was where I met Anthony. I asked him where you were and he said that you got attacked by some demons and he hoped you were dead. Never in my life did I hear such coldness. That I ran back to my game only to find out that Road Racer was stealing my spotlight. Racing was all I had left after losing you. If you couldn't have a happy ending then no one would. I jumped into that game to steal back my fans only to have it back fire and both the games were unplugged. Yet I was blind to my rage and wanting revenge. I jumped into Sugar Rush creating the character King Candy yet I didn't know Vanellope was the leader till later as I learned how the game worked. I did my best to leave her alone but she kept wanting to race and I couldn't have her ruin my plans. One thing led to another and you know the rest. I am so sorry for what I did I swear I want to make amends," he said looking at me.
He looked to be in so much pain. "So, it is my fault you turned evil. I remember now that was the day Michael decided to leave my cave before he was completely healed and got attacked by more demons. I had to save him and heal him all over again," I said.
"No Faye, it is not your fault I made my mistakes and I will pay for them. And who is Michael?" he asked like a father would ask his daughter when they started to date boys.
"He is um a friend," I said blushing. Then I regained my composure, "You shouldn't be apologizing to me you should be apologizing to Vanellope and the others," I told him.
"You are right Faye, Vanellope I know what I did was wrong. I was just in some much pain after losing Faye. I thought she was dead, she was my daughter and I loved her. When Anthony told me she was dead I just lost it. I know what I did to you doesn't make it right but please give me one more chance to be the hero I was supposed to be and if I fail you can feed me to a Cy-Bug," Turbo said.
"T," I said holding onto him. I just got him back even if he did do evil stuff I couldn't bear to lose him again. I looked at Vanellope praying hoping she would give him a second chance and then I would make sure T stayed good.
Vanellope's P.O.V
"Turbo walk with me," I said firmly. Ralph was about to say something but my look silenced him. Turbo unsure followed me to the empty hall. I stared at him with my most serious face. "If what you say is true and you truly want to change. I will give you that chance," I said.
"Thank you," Turbo said smiling.
"Don't thank me I am only doing this for Faye's sake. Obviously she sees something good in you and you two clearly had a good relationship that I can't take you from her again. Know this I do not trust you an inch and everyone will be watching you carefully. If you slip even once I will throw you in the Fungeon to rot for all time. Do I make myself clear?" I asked him.
"Crystal and I will prove to you that I can be good. I got my little girl back no way am I losing her again," Turbo said firmly. Just then I heard a weird noise a sound of flapping wings. A figure flew through the open window. I looked at him with a shocked look. His face was golden and smooth with short blonde hair that spiked in the front. He looked about Calhoun's size maybe an inch taller. His body was built for he had some muscle on him. His eyes were a sky blue and his wings a pearly white. A halo rested on his head as he wore a white shirt and pants with boots. A sword was strapped to his back and he looked like the same design layout as Faye. The guy even looked a year or two older than her.
"Hello, I am looking for my friend her name is Faye and I am Michael," he said gently.
