-==Chapter 10==-
Random Roster SHOCK!
It was now 20.00 in the night, and the arcade is going to close. Mr. Litwak makes his usual announcement.
Stan Litwak: "Alright people, It's 8 P.M., It's the last game of the day.
The patrons played the Last-Game-of-the-Shift levels in each games, and after these levels are finished, Off to the Game Over Screen (And Save-Data to games with Save-Data features). All games are finished by then.
Stan Litwak: "Alright then, have a safe trip home, people.
The patrons left the Arcade and Mr. Litwak went home.
Stan Litwak: "(Looks at the games) Good night, guys."
Ralph: "(Waves at Mr. Litwak on top of Niceland City's Flagship Apartment Building). Alright guys, shift's over. (Climbs down the building, collects random object6s that are scattered around the front yard and dumped them in a Recycling Machine) Great job, everyone, keep it up for tomorrow. (Sees Felix at the train station) So, Felix, you go for the usual?"
Felix: "Oh yes, Ralph! Tammy and I are going to see the kids at Sugar Rush."
Both Ralph and Felix got onboard the train to Game Central Station. The train in Fix-It Felix Jr. looks the same as the one back when the game was first plugged in, but due to streamlining of all public transport operations, the train, called Niceland Rapid-Liner, has 5 cars. The First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth cars are 12-seaters of 3 rows + 4 columns, facing back and forth, while the center car is reserved for Ralph or anyone bigger than the Nicelanders, Felix, and/or the Sugar Rush racers.
Ralph: "I see. Everyone is also in on this too, in case you forgot. And I hear that there's gonna be an announcement as well."
Felix: "(The train departs and is now on the Power Strip) I wonder what it's gonna be?"
The train arrives, Ralph and Felix disembark, the train departs back to the game as the Nicelanders are to take the train to GCS as well.
Surge protector: "Random Security Check. Name?"
Ralph: "Wreck-It Ralph."
Felix: "Fix-It Felix Jr."
Surge Protector: "Where from?"
Ralph: "Fix-It Felix Jr."
Surge Protector: "Where to go to?"
Felix: "Sugar Rush."
Surge Protector: "Anything to declare?"
Ralph and Felix: "We hate you."
Surge Protector: "I get that a lot. Proceed."
Ralph and Felix walked to Sugar Rush's entrance, where Tamora was waiting. She and her troops are making out to their Daily Spot Checks to ensure no Cy-Bugs are in other games, ESPECIALLY Sugar Rush because of what the "Wreck-It Ralph movie" the arcade's characters once watched on December 2012 from Niceland City's new Cinema built back in late November of 2012 showed. Granted, the Cy-bug invasion DIDN'T happen in Real-Life because Ralph's involvement with the game was his desire to give the racers a heartfelt gift that suddenly caused Vanellope to show up and King Candy driving the infamous Iron Steel truck which Tamora described as if "Doomsday and Armageddon having a Baby, and she assures everyone that it is UGLY AS HELL."
Ralph, Felix and Tamora board a Sleek Streamlined Bullet Sugar train to Sugar Rush. Before the train departs, some of the Bad-Anon members like Zangief, Bowser, Dr. Eggman, M. Bison, and Kano, as well as several other characters like Terry Bogard, Sonic, Kohut, and Markowski from other games also board the train. The train departs from the station, through the Power Strip, and to Sugar World, where the train cruises from the Rainbow Railway line into the Main Line, where other trains pass by, passing local stations and other Railway Yards, and arriving at Sugar Town Central Station where Ralph and the other characters disembark from the train as it departs to other stations besides Game Central Station.
Ralph met his daughter Vanellope by the fountain. Ever since Ralph's wholesome gift to Rancis when Felix and Tamora won their bet a second time, Vanellope has always looked up to Ralph. And by 2013, Felix suggested that Ralph adopts Vanellope, which he does. Both Ralph and Vanellope are a loving duo of Father and Daughter, and if one of them makes a mistake, they would work together to fix it. Ralph and Vanellope's sweet family relationship got Felix and Tamora, as well as Ryu, Chun Li, Yuni, Terry, and Blue Mary (FF+KOF) to adopt the other racers when Sugar Rush Speedway was unplugged due to Human Error caused by game hoggers in 2015, but it started out kind of strange.
Also in the same year, Vanellope decides to play Cupid and somehow match-made Ralph with Shank when Ralph confronted Vanellope about nearly going Turbo. Vanellope's stunt got Ralph and Shank to fall in love, and in 2016, Ralph and Shank got married and Vanellope got a mother at last. Even though Ralph and Shank came from different types of games, Ralph and Vanellope spend time in Slaughter Race on Weekend Nights with Shank for some Family time and of course, Ralph and Vanellope playing Slaughter Race as themselves and making BuzzzTube Videos. Ralph's family is a very unique and strange one; a Wrecker married to a Street Racer and their daughter is a former Royal figure.
Vanellope: "Hey, Ralph, my man…"
Ralph: "Hi, kid, so, uh, the announcement is tonight?"
Vanellope: "Yup, come on, let's get to Royal Raceway."
Felix: "Alright, Sugar-Blossom, lead us the way."
At Royal Raceway…
Chocolate-headed Guardsman: Alright, line-up to the entrance. Regulars to Regular Grandstands, VIPs to VIP Grandstand."
Felix: "Hey, Milady, you got the VIP Pass?"
Tamora: "(Shows her VIP Pass) VIP Pass!"
Ralph: "(Shows his VIP Pass) I got mine too."
Vanellope: "Alright, see you later, guys."
Ralph: "Okay, and have fun!"
As Vanellope left with her kart to line up with her friends, five unlikely guests arrived at Royal Raceway's Spectator entrance, driving a familiar looking Mazda RX-7 Type R FD3S, a Greenish-gray Cadillac CTS-Coupe, a Black BMW M3 GTR E46 GT, (The Le-Mans car, not a Kit-Car) a purple Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR32, and a Honda NSX NA1 1995. It were Shank (Ralph's Wife and Vanellope's Mother) and her Dark Titans crew members Felony, Little Debbie, Butcher Boy and Pyro.
Shank: "Hi, guys!"
Ralph: "Oh, hi, Shank, good to see you. What's the event in Slaughter Race?"
Shank: "Maintenance and Update to the World-Wide server, which was closed due to said update.
Felony: "The update took for 5 days."
Butcher Boy: "Since we are only available to players who connected to "World-Wide", we are not allowed to show up in Metropolitan-Area servers or Local-Area servers, or EVEN Offline."
Shank: "So, we decided to take a visit. Man, I had never even visited Sugar Rush before. I didn't know that the trains can seat cars inside like the Internet trains…. So, um, where's our daughter, Ralph?"
Ralph: "She's at the Starting line. Today is going to have a big announcement. So, what seats would you guys take?"
Shank: "Oh, the Regular seat. We never came here before, like I said, and we don't have VIP passes."
Pyro: "Come on, guys, let's try finding the best seat!"
Little Debbie: "Race you to it!"
Ralph: "Well, see you later, guys."
The other characters from GCS also arrived as Ralph, Felix and Tamora took their seats on Reclining Single-Sofas. Gene and the Nicelanders also have VIP passes, so they took their seats on Business-Sofas. Kohut and Markowski are part of the Military, so they join the Guardsmen spot, separate from their sergeant and the other characters. Zangief took a VIP seat next to Ralph.
Ralph: "Hey, Zangief. So, how many skulls did you crush today?"
Zangief: "Crush 18 skulls as an NPC, while 76 skulls by the patrons. Looks like they have been warming up to me, probably because they didn't take my strange Villain job as depicted in that Movie about you too seriously, but hey, it's worth the attention."
M. Bison: "Heh-heh-heh, I'm also impressed, Zangief, that those who played AS you managed to give Ryu and ken a RUN for their money. Better dead than Red."
Ken and Terry: "WE HEARD THAT!"
Ralph just chuckled about it, and then he took attention to his daughter and her friends at the Altar, facing the Presidential throne of Royal Raceway. Since one of 16 racers is currently President, that one racer is NOT on the altar. On the throne's structure has an Emblem with the letters G and O, decorated with Candy Corns, a Giant Pumpkin, and Carrots forming a Star.
Sour Bill: "Ladies and Gentlemen, all hail this year's ruler of Sugar Rush, President Gloyd Orangeboar."
The curtain opens, and reveals Gloyd as he stands proud and calm. He also wears the Presidential Crown on top of his Pumpkin hat and has a Cloack decorated with Candy Corns and Carrots. The fans cheered for their leader, and the racers bow down for him as Gloyd bows down for his people.
Gloyd: "Hello my people."
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
The racers rise up, and so is Gloyd.
Gloyd: "Thank you for that stellar introduction, Sour Bill. And thank you all for today's Avatars, for a Wonderful day of Racing. Now it's time for the Random Roster Competition to decide on tomorrow's Representatives. But, before we begin, I have some announcements to make. Recently, we had a Devastating event. We have lost a Patron, by the name of Heather Elizabeth Madison."
Everyone except the Sugar Rush racers: "(Gasped in fear, hearing Heather's name and started muttering about her)"
Gloyd: "Alright, ALRIGHT, I get the idea, you're all afraid of Heather…. But here's the thing, Heather died last Friday."
Everyone: "(Gasps in horror about Heather's undeserving demise)"
Gloyd: "She died in saving the life of a young boy named Arthur Emanuel Johnson from being crushed by a mentally insane truck. Her death was even disrespected by some school bullies. It was a horrible accident indeed, and the worst part is, that she never had the shot to try this new Sugar Rush game. But if it weren't for her, Arthur would have never got to try out Sugar Rush. With this in mind, let's have a brief moment of silence for Heather."
Everyone took a moment of brief silence to mourn Heather. Vanellope and Crumbelina were on the VERGE of Tears, Vanellope because she understands what Arthur felt when having to lose a friend like that and Crumbelina because Heather has helped her in her hard times.
Gloyd: "May she rest in peace. (Everyone rises up, and Crumbelina wiped Vanellope's tears off) This Random Roster competition is dedicated to Heather, whose heroics shall be remembered across this arcade, and those who knew her. May God bless her family and those she met; and to a brighter topic, we will have a two month Presidential Election to decide who will run for President for 2018. The candidates are as follows: Adorabeezle Winterpop, Minty Sakura, Swizzle Malarkey, Candlehead, and Vanellope Von Schweetz. Candidates, make sure you set up your campaigns in the span of two months. And after 2 months, Voting will begin!"
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
Gloyd: "And one more announcement before we begin the race. I, as this year's President of Sugar World, am proud to say the following sentence. The Sugar Rush World Championship will be held 6 months from now, and the tournament, will take place AT LITWAK'S FAMILY FUN CENTER!"
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
Gloyd: "Yup, heard that right! And in the Span of 6 Months before the World Championship, We must WORK together to make Sugar Rush LOOK ITS BEST!"
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
Gloyd: "And now; on with the show! This event is FREE-2-PLAY! Press the button on your right side (Red buttons rise up next to the racers) if you want to join, which of course, I would. I'll go first! (Presses the button)"
Felix: "You go for the usual, Tammy?"
Zangief: "Place your bets, everyone, place your bets here! Top 9 winner picks get bragging rights until the Arcade is open!"
Tamora: "Right you are!"
Felix and Tamora: "Rancis Fluggerbutter!"
Sonic, Arle, and NiGHTS: "Taffyta Muttonfudge!"
M. Bison and Zangief: "Jubileena Bing-Bing."
Liu Kang and Shang Tsung: "Snowanna Rainbeau!"
Scorpion, Sub Zero, and Kitana: "Adorabeezle Winterpop"
Ryu and Terry: "Candlehead!"
Ken and Kyo: "Citrusella (Ken)/Blueberrina (Kyo) Flugpucker!"
Saitine and Sorceress: "Sticky Wipplesnit!"
Yuni: "Emma Zaki!"
Kano, Mileena, and Smoke: "Minty Sakura!"
The racers then press their respective buttons to enter, and their names are shown on the Jumbotron. After that, Gloyd walks to his kart, the Kernel, which is located in 16th place. Vanellope boards her kart in 9th place with Crumbelina in 10th place.
Gloyd: "Alright! Let this Random Roster competition COMMENCE! (Shoots a Kernel Missile up, which explodes into Fireworks)"
And the race begins with everyone cheering like wild! Vanellope accelerates to 3rd place, following Crumbelina in the lead! Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis make a Straight Formation to catch up to Vanellope and Crubelina, as well as Snowanna in 2nd place. Jumping to Gumball Gorge, Vanellope picked up a Power-Up, a Cherry Bomb, which she throws behind, and ATTACKS Adorabeezle, Torvald and Citrusella, sending them behind as Nougetsia and Swizzle overtake them. Gloyd is now in 8th place, with M. Sakura hot behind him! Vanellope overtakes Snowana as they headed for Cakeway Tower, and is now in 2nd place behind Crumbelina.
Taffyta: "Man, Crumbelina's really going for it! She's really pumped up!"
Candlehead: "To be honest, I'm kind of worried for her, AND Vanellope."
Rancis: "What are you guys worried about? Van and Crumbs can handle this race themselves."
Taffyta: "Not this race, Rancis, I'm talking about their emotional state, especially the loss of Heather."
Rancis: "Oh…. I didn't realize I was making the wrong assumption. We gotta help them move on!"
Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis are HOT behind Vanellope and Crumbelina as they overtook Snowanna. As the racers climbed up the tower, Gloyd, now in 6th place is slipstreaming behind Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis, unaware that Sticky and M. Zaki are also behind them, Sticky in particular has a Power-Up, Sweet Seeker, which she SHOT at Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis, because Gloyd evaded them! Now, Gloyd is Neck-and-Neck-andNeck against Vanellope and Crumbelina, and the three jumped off the Launch Tunnel and into Frosty Mountain! Followed by the other racers, they make their way to Nougat Underground.
Vanellope: "Hey, Crumby, it's your boy right behind yo~ooouuu~u…"
Crumbelina: "Vanny, could you just SAY it normally?! You're distracting me!"
Vanellope chuckled as she activates a Sugar Boost cube Power-Up she picked up on her way to the Rollercoaster track of Nougat Underground as Crumbelina, Gloyd, M. Zaki and the other racers follow suit. Gloyd's Superpower bar is full, and as M. Zaki overtook him to overtake Vanellope and Crumbelina, Gloyd activates his Kernel Blaster, shooting 3 Kernel-Missiles at Vanellope, Crumbelina, and M. Zaki!
Vanellope and Crumbelina: "AAAAAGH!"
M. Zaki: "OUCH!"
Gloyd: "Haha, see you later!"
Vanellope, Crumbelina and M. Zaki quickly recovered and got back to the race before the others overtook them. Vanellope then manages to catch up to Gloyd, but Crumbelina and M. Zaki have their own problem: Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis. The three racers are HOT on Crumbelina and M. Zaki's butts, and the latter three have a good reason for that. Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis' superpower bars are full, so they activate their skills to get ahead, Taffyta using her Slingshot, Candlehead's Candle Lighters to attack Crumbelina and M. Zaki, and Rancis' oil sludge slick to immobilize Crumbelina, M. Zaki, and the other racers behind the three, but as Vanellope, Gloyd, Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis got out of the tunnel into the last stretch…
Crumbelina activates her Linearity Missile thanks to her Superpower Bar fully charged and attacked Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis, as well as recovering quickly. Shoving the three racers, Crumbelina caught up to Vanellope and Gloyd, and it was lucky for them as Crumbelina's Linearity Missile wears off and back to normal. Taffyta also caught up to the three. Rancis and Candlehead block the other racers out of their way. It's now 4 racers on the final stretch. Vanellope and Crumbelina are now Neck-and-Neck. But as Vanellope is in the lead, without having to use her skill….
Crumbelina: "Looks like Vanny's going to win! She IS an Absolute…. BLOODHEARTED DAREDEVIL!"
Vanellope: "(Gasps and Flashbacks of EVERY part of her life that contains Heather's new unique quote that is not "Mad Man" to the Sugar Rush Racers (Indirectly) and the Players out there, and then the time Arthur told Molly about Heather's undeserving demise) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (Suddenly panics and spins out and out of control, causing Crumbelina, Gloyd, and Taffyta to overtake Vanellope, also followed by Jubileena who overtook Candlehead and Rancis, and Vanellope finished 5th by Spinning out and then crashes into a wall; the kart was DESTROYED into pieces (similar to how the Movie-Portrayed-Ralph was blackmailed to destroy the kart he and the Movie-Portrayed-Vanellope built together) and Vanellope was killed while Crumbelina wins 1st place, Gloyd in 2nd, Taffyta in 3rd, and Jubileena in 4th, Rancis in 6th, Candlehead in 7th, Sticky in 8th and Snowanna in 9th.)"
Ralph: "VANELLOPE!"
Shank: "KIIIIIID!"
Felix: "Oh my land!"
Gloyd: "VAN! Oh no…."
Crumbelina: "Oh no, Vanny, what have I done?!"
Rancis: "Oh my God, Vanellope!"
Everyone was shocked to see Vanellope, but Ralph was the most worried of all. Ralph, Shank, Felix, Tamora, and the racers approach the Corpse of Vanellope and the wreckage of her kart.
Tamora: "MOVE THE HELL OVER JUNKPILES! (Warns the other characters to step aside) MAKE WAY FOR WRECK-IT RALPH!"
Ralph and Shank saw in horror of Vanellope's dead body, and the remains of the kart, but after a while, both Vanellope and the kart blinked continuously for 2 seconds, and were brought back to normal.
Vanellope and the Fresh Mint Cruiser had REGENERATED.
Vanellope and the kart were back in tip-top shape, but Vanellope was deeply traumatized... Crumbelina ran towards Vanellope in tears.
Crumbelina: "Vanellope, Oh GOD! I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to…."
Vanellope then Shrieks in horror, starts to cry, and hugs Crumbelina as she wailed loudly.
Crumbelina: "Vanellope, PLEASE… don't cry… (Starts to tear up herself) I didn't want it to end this way…"
Vanellope's crying was so contagious that Crumbelina also started to cry. Both girls embraced their hugs."
Vanellope: "I'm tr-r-r-yi-i-ng... b-b-bu-t i-t-t wo-n't st-to-o-o-p (In between tears)"
The racers, seeing Vanellope with pity, approached the two racers.
Taffyta: "Crumby…. It's not your fault…. Please…."
Adorabeezle: "You didn't know…"
Crumbelina: "Wh…. What?"
Ralph and Shank walked into their daughter, feeling sorry for that accident she had and having to remember ANOTHER Quote from Heather, one so INFAMOUS than simply "Mad Man"; the quote "Bloodhearted Daredevil" has something to do with Vanellope, yet, Ralph, Felix, Tamora, Crumbelina, and the other characters (Except the 14 other racers) had no idea what it was.
Crumbelina: "(Looks at Felix, Tamora, and Ralph, sorrowfully) Mom... Dad... Mr. Wreck-It Ralph... it's not what it looks like..."
Ralph: "It's okay, Lina... Everyone has traumas... Even i had one... (Remembering about his fear to a hypothetical "Vanellope betrays Shank" scenario had he not warn Vanellope about Going Turbo back in 2015)"
Vanellope then looked up to her parents….
Vanellope: "Mom…. Dad…. I just… I just wanna go home…."
Ralph: "Where to?"
Shank: "Yeah, V, you can visit Slaughter Race to…."
Vanellope: "Diet Cola Mountain…."
Ralph: "Alright, we'll go there. But I can't stay for too…."
Tamora: "Wreck-It, Shank, just…. Go… I'll check up on you three first thing tomorrow morning…"
Felix: "Yeah, Ralph…. Vanellope's Well Being comes first, especially because you adopted her."
Ralph: "(Carries Vanellope and hugs her) Thanks, guys."
Ralph, Vanellope and Shank board Shank's RX-7 to Diet Cola Mountain, while the racers drive Vanellope's Kart to said mountain.
Ralph tucked his daughter in, and slept with her.
Vanellope: "Ralph…."
Ralph: "What is it, kid?"
Vanellope: "Sorry I didn't win…"
Ralph: "It's alright, kid. Your well being is far more important…"
Vanellope: "Thank you… Dad….. (Falls asleep)"
Ralph: "Good night, Vanellope…."
Ralph and Vanellope went asleep from 21.00 to 04.00. Meanwhile, Crumbelina drove to Hero's Duty to isolate herself. Kohut and Markowski tried to get her out, but to no avail. Then, Tamora came. She and Felix decide not to Brag about Rancis' Roster Victory for the day due to the incident.
Markowski: "Sarge, Crumbelina is not coming out."
Tamora: "Alright, Markowski, I get the idea. *Sigh* She must be so heartbroken for making her friend panic like that."
Tamora walked to see her tiramisu-caramel daughter.
Tamora: "Hey Crumbs… how are you holding up?"
Crumbelina: "Not good, mom…. I really felt bad."
Tamora: "Look… it's not your fault, like that movie where Wreck-It was portrayed to accidentally take a Cy-Bug into Sugar Rush, even though that didn't happen in real life."
Crumbelina: "No, Mom, it's not that… but it's… when Vanellope suddenly panicked when I said it… I just don't know what's in her heart that freaked her out like that."
Tamora picked Crumbelina up and carried her back to the train station where Taffyta was waiting.
Tamora: "KOHUT, MARKOWSKI, ROOKIE, you three are in charge of tonight's drill and Spot Checks."
Kohut, Markowski, and Rookie: "ROGER!"
Tamora and Crumbelina met up with Taffyta and board the train to GCS with Taffyta driving Crumbelina's kart.
Taffyta: "Crumby, don't feel bad… what you said to Vanellope was an accident."
Crumbelina: "Are you sure?"
Tamora: "Of course she is. Look, I was on the same position as Princess-Gumdrops back then."
Crumbelina: "What? But you're Big and Strong, you re practically a Brave Hero…."
Tamora: "That's because it's in my programming, but I'm only human, and being in a game about War does have Traumas."
Taffyta: "What do you mean, Mom?"
Tamora: "Well, you girls wanna hear the story?"
Crumbelina: "Since I want to make Vanellope feel better, yes, please."
Tamora: "Alright, but It won't be pleasant."
And Tamora told both Taffyta and Crumbelina her story, which was about Dr. Brad Scott, her programmed love life who created the Cy-Bugs as adaptable toys, only to be forced to destroy them when the Higher—Ups at Tamora's Military team decided to do Weapon-Experiments on the Cy-Bugs, which went horribly wrong, and on Tamora's Wedding day, since she failed a Spot-Check, a Cy-Bug devoured Brad, and Tamora was forced to destroy it before it became Brad himself. His pet name for her: Dynamite Gal; had traumatized her when Felix accidentally said it. But to his credit, Ralph, with his kind heart, managed to help Tamora find peace and move on.
Tamora: "Well, that's about it. So, what about Vanellope? Would you guys like to talk about her?"
Taffyta: "Actually, Mom, Crumby, Non of you knew this, but Heather, was Infamous in Vanellope's Heart. When heather played as Vanellope, she would be Super Reckless, ESPECIALLY back when she used to be a Glitch. And when Heather DOES win as Vanellope, her smile and triumph seemed forced. And i always thought to myself, it haunts my heart to see Vanellope under someone as insane as Heather, which is why her title, the "Hell-Defiler" scares everyone, and just goes to show that she is indeed, a Mad man, And whenever i think about it, Heather as Vanellope means one thing: Vanellope IS in danger... of possibly getting hurt due to Heather's recklessness..."
Crumbelina: "Oh dear Sugar... I... i didn't know that... But in a strange way, Vanellope had also missed Heather."
Tamora: "Whohw, that's a messed up irony right there, Crumbs..."
Crumbelina said nothing, but forced her palms to her heart, and griefs in remorse, for something she HADN'T done, and was haunted in "False Guilt".
Taffyta: "Oh, Crumby... you don't have to feel bad about it. That was Heather's wrongdoing."
Tamora: "Yeah, what she said. So, Crumbs, when you meet her again, tell her that it's going to be alright, and that she has nothing to worry about, since it's just a quote, and even if it does have a significant effect on someone, tell them to try and move on from that."
Taffyta: "And besides, we all helped Vanellope race again, right? We all made her strong then, so I'm sure we can repeat that a second time and she can be strong again, don't you worry, Crumby. We'll help her together."
Crumbelina: "Thanks, guys…. (Hugs Taffyta and Tamora as the train arrives.)"
The next day, in the Dawn where Ralph and Vanellope woke up, Shank arrived with some meals: Udon. She came with M. Sakura, who taught the street racer how to cook Udon.
Shank: "Hey guys, I got early breakfast… Udon…."
Vanellope: "Shank… you went through all that trouble?"
Shank: "Don't worry about it, V…. Sakura here helped me, though."
Ralph, Vanellope, Shank, and m. Sakura then sat on the Dining table at the mountain, eating Udon.
M. Sakura: "Vanellope, Crumbelina ga itta koto nit suite amari kangaenaide kudasai. Kanojo wa hontoni sore o imi shite imasendeshita. (Vanellope, don't think too much about what Crumbelina said. She really didn't mean it.)
Vanellope: "Sakura…. I… I just don't know…."
M. Sakura: "Hora, watashi ga itte iru no wa sore ga jikodatta to iu koto dakedesu. Heather ga toji itta akumeidakai kotoba o obete oku hitsuyo wa arimasen. (Look, all i'm saying is that it was an accident. You don't have to remember that infamous word Heather said back then.)"
Vanellope: "So… um. I should never take it as a big deal?"
M. Sakura: "Īe, oboete oku hitsuyō ga aru no wa anata ga airashī shōshadearu koto dakedesu. (No, all you need to remember is that you are an Adorable Winner.)"
Vanellope: "Thanks, Sakura…. Emma's lucky to have a cousin so caring to her friends. How was Crumbelina holding up?"
M. Sakura: "Ā, Crumbelina wa ī ne. Kanojo wa sore ni tsuite Mama-Tamora to Taffyta-chan to hanashi o shimashita. (Oh, Crumbelina's good. She had a talk with Mommy Tamora and Taffyta-Chan about it.)"
Then, melodius music is heard not far from the mountain, one that gave Vanellope peace in her heart. Outside was Crumbelina, playing her violin, as a way to calm Vanellope down and apologize to her. Gloyd looked at Crumbelina, standing silently as she plays the violin. The pumpkin-prankster was lucky to have fallen in love with someone who cared for her friends, and NO one can prove him wrong. Although, we was a bit disappointed that his girl decided not to run as President for the upcoming election, he knows that one day, people will indeed WANT Crumbelina to run for president of Sugar Rush.
To be continued...
Author's Note: So, this chapter is indeed about Sugar Rush in my new take. The first glance of it was in the previous chapters where the game was overhauled into a Brand New one with 20 tracks, Characters having their own Specific Skills, and Vanellope FINALLY no longer having her glitch disability. And one of the MANY MOST SIGNIFICANT changes in Sugar World, is a Truly Functional Republic government, where Presidential Elections DO EXIST, and the 16 racers can RUN for President, should they WISH to (The Presidential Terms run for One year per term) And yes, you read it right, local prankster Gloyd was 2017's Sugar Rush President!
And speaking of Sugar Rush, I'm also sorry to say that even in racing in this candy coated paradise, there is some horror level trauma that the racers may go through. Now, speaking of Vanellope's crash and her kart being destroyed, that scene was actually inspired by two topics. First one was from the fanfiction"Devastated" written by TheBlueJetpack (A.K.A. MinionStuart2), where Gloyd used his Character Skill on Crumbelina but didn't realize that Crumbelina suffered a horrific crash that nearly killed her; and the Second one was from the infamous "Broken-Karted" scene from the movie where Ralph was threatened to destroy his VERY FIRST CREATION. But I've decided to make a twist. Crumbelina's near death was instead Vanellope completely killed only to regenerate but suffers a severe PTSD, and Vanellope's kart being destroyed was instead a horrific crash because of her unexpected panic.
I don't know about you, but in my opinion, Crumbelina saying something that causes Vanellope to crash like that is much more horrifying than Gloyd not realizing he nearly axed the Italian upper class girl or Ralph's forced destruction of the very first thing he created for Vanellope.
