"Ralph, I may be able to come up with a cure." Eggman explained. "I know most of the root elements of the system. If I can just get some- ah, yes! Bill!" Sour Bill slouched into the room. "Fetch me a large pot and my chemical set, pronto. Ralph, I'll do everything in my power to make a cure before its too late."

But Ralph was shaking his head. "I can't let Turbo get away. I appreciate you help, Eggman, but I'm still going. Work on the cure while I'm gone. I'll try to get it from the other end."

"But Ralph..." Felix started, but his wife placed a hand on his shoulder, silencing him.

Ralph shook his head. "Felix I appreciate your concern, but what if Eggman doesn't get finished in time? I couldn't- I can't risk it. If Turbo wants me, he's gonna get me." His eyes turned to steel. "And I'm gonna make sure he regrets it."

"Ralph, no!" They all turned in surprise at the sound of Vanellope's voice. The princess charged into the room, somewhat shakily, with teary eyes and launched herself into Ralph's arms. "You can't go. He'll kill you!"

Ralph stood frozen. Then he rapped his arms around her as tightly as he could without hurting her, not wanting to let go.

After a few minutes, he pulled her away gently so he could look her in the eye. "Hey, come on. Don't you trust me kid? I can take him down.

"I don't doubt that you could pulverize him. But he knows your weakness, Ralph! If he threatens me I know you'll agree to anything. You can't do it Ralph. Don't do it! Please!"

He looked into her wide, pleading hazel eyes and almost relented. "I'm sorry, Vanellope. I can't lose you. I'm going."

He gently handed her over to Calhoun. "Look after her, will you? If I don't come back, make sure to do everything to find a cure."

Calhoun seemed shocked. Then she straightened, looking him dead in the eye and saluting him. "You can count on us, Wreck-It. Good luck, soldier."

"Be careful, Ralph." Felix whispered.

Ralph nodded and smiled. Then he turned toward the door. Turbo was is a crap load of trouble.

It was 10 p. m. 2 hours left.
