"Hey Felix, can we talk?" Gene asked, Felix turned away from his friends and walked over to the mayor of his beloved home.
"Sure, what's up?" Felix replied easily.
"Is Turbo really back?" the nicelander asked worriedly, his eyes were dead serious.
"Yeah" Felix said, "We went and talked to him, and he's up to something, we just don't know what yet". Gene nodded in understanding.
"Just be careful Felix, he knows things about the arcade ours dear friends don't know" Gene reminded him quietly.
"I know" Felix said softly before rejoining the rest of the group which was swiftly enlarging.
"So what's the plan?" Sonic was asking Calhoun and Ralph.
"We have to find out what Turbo's up to, what he was really doing in Hero's Duty," Calhoun said, "I'm having the majority of my men do a patrol, once they're back, I'll have them take a group of the bigger and stronger bad-guys into my game to let them have a look around. The rest of you split up and search the arcade, see if he's been in any other games, espically Sugar Rush and Fix-it-Felix Jr.".
"I'll go with you guys into Hero's Duty" Bowser said,
"So will I" Zangif added.
"I'm going too" Ralph told them.
"Good, we'll head into Hero's duty, and my men will escort another group into my game," Calhoun nodded at Jace, one of her men who hadn't gone one patrol and the five of them headed towards Hero's Duty.
"Vanellope stay with Dunkin or Felix" Ralph called over his shoulder. The donut police man stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I'll look after her and the other racers" he told Felix, "Since you're not exactly the fighting type".
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sonic asked, slightly annoyed by his tone.
"He wasn't talking to you," Vanellope pointed out as Dunkin escorted her and her fellow racers back to Sugar Rush along with the other donut police.
"It's fine Sonic" Felix said, "Let's just go find some others and start looking".
Tapper's P.O.V
Tapper ended up going with a group to Pacman. His group consisted of Luigi, Sonic, Coiler, from Q-bert's old game, Cyborg, and surprisingly Gene, from Felix's game. Turns out the mayor of Niceland was braver than he had thought.
"We should've asked them what we're supposed to be looking for," Gene muttered crossly under his breath. Despite his respect for Ralph, he had to admit Gene was right for once, they had no idea what they were supposed to be looking for.
"Just look for something out of the ordinary," Luigi said, apparently he had also heard Gene's comment. They continued along for several more minutes until Coiler suddenly stopped.
"What is it Coiler?" Cyborg asked.
" !%&*" Coiler said.
"Why are you asking him, he's useless" Luigi snapped, "Can't speak any language that the rest of us can understand". The rest of them, except for Sonic stared at Luigi in shock, no matter how moody his friends and brother were, or how bad things got, Luigi was never mean to anyone.
"He's right, Coiler is useless, why'd we even bring him along again?" Sonic sneered.
Coiler hissed furiously in response, his eyes narrowing in rising anger.
"What's your two's problem?" Gene asked. For once there was no attitude in the nicelander's voice.
"What's your problem Gene, you're always bugging everybody" Luigi took a step forward and roughly pushed Gene back.
Ralph's P.O.V
"He was right about here when we found him," Kohut said, he nodded at the first floor of the tall building that led to the metal room, where Ralph had broke into nearly three months ago.
"Everybody spread out and search" Ralph directed.
"If you see a cybug, yell out" Calhoun added. Silently their group dispersed and spread out, farther exploring the room. Ralph looked over the tables and crouched down to look under them; as far as he could tell, everything looked normal.
"Hey I found something!" Bowser yelled. Ralph ran over to him, since he was the closest and found Bowser staring at a strange looking door.
"What is that?" Zangief asked.
"It's our code room" Calhoun explained as she joined them.
"Well," Bowser said, "It's been broke into". Ralph suddenly realized what he was talking about, a short black crowbar was sticking out of the pried open door.
Vanellope's P.O.V
Mario, Tails, and some crocodile with a backpack on named Croc were helping to search Sugar Rush for any sign of what Turbo had been doing. Croc said he was the good guy of his game, which was named after him, but Vanellope wasn't so sure, he looked a lot like the koopas.
Dunkin, Whinsten, and Beard Papa were helping along with Taffita, Francis and Candlehead.
"I hope Stinkbrain and Sarge are having more luck than we are," Vanellope muttered.
"At least it means that Turbo left our game alone," Taffita pointed out.
"What you don't think Felix will find anything with his group kid" Mario said agitatedly.
"He's not exactly the best at tracking Mario" Dunkin pointed out.
"You're not good at tracking either," Tails suddenly shoved Dunkin into a pool of liquid chocolate.
"Huh!" they all stared at him and Mario who was cracking up laughing.
"Hey what was that for?" Dunkin demanded scrambling out of the pool, shaking the chocolate off him.
"You were being a jerk" Tails snarled.
"He was being a jerk" Croc said in disbelief, "You guys are acting worse than King-".
"We don't care about King Croqac or whatever the bad guy of your game's name is" Mario rolled his eyes.
"Get out of here, and go back to game Central Station if you can't be nice to the rest of us" Vanellope told them, she hated it whenever people made fun of the bad-guys, and even though she didn't really like Croc, he seemed like he cared about his game's bad-guy.
"As you wish Princess" Tails sneered as he and Mario turned back, both started laughing at Tails's comment.
"What's gotten into them, they've never acted like this before," Croc said softly.
Felix's P.O.V
Felix easily slipped past Ralph and Calhoun's group as they headed to the tower, while he headed towards the containment unit.
As soon as he had reached the building, he punched in the number he had seen Calhoun punch in earlier and went inside.
"Hello Felix, back so soon" Turbo sneered. His yellow eyes taunting. But, unlike Ralph, Felix remained calm, and took off his hat to run his fingers through his hair before placing his cap back on his head.
He moved forward until his cap's bill was nearly touching the force field.
"You and I are going to have a little chat Turbo," Felix said, his voice lacking it's usually emotion. His blue eyes unreadable for once, as was his facial expression.
What do you guys think of this part? Please leave a comment on what you thought, the final part will be up soon hopefully.
