Description
The last attack closed in like a torpedo; Crona fell back as his health dropped below zero. He collapsed onto his stomach and looked up at the boss; Glitching as his vision blurred to black. The last thing to roll through his mind was his regret; He had died outside of his home game. This was Game Over once and for all, Vanellope I..... Silence.....
There was no mistaking he empty darkness of death... Yet there was a feeling of life resonating through. Crona felt energy rise up in him as he slowly opened his eyes and looked around; the landscape was completely made of sugary treats! The trees were Candy canes, There were Jelly rocks. Even the clouds, usually puffy and white, were replaces with candyfloss? Crona smiled as he struggled to his feet. This was his home, There was no way he could forget Sugar Rush...Ever! He stretched and clicked his fingers. He scratched an itch on his face and pulled on his button nose, making sure no dirt had got stuck in his nostrils. Then came his almighty roar, His yawn was loud enough to disturb a nest in a nearby tree. He looked at the birds and sighed, He really needed to get that noise level under control. He began to walk off towards the local town. His stomach grumbled as he covered his belly before patting it. Despite the world being made of candy, He had not had a bite to eat all day. He could`ve just snapped off a branch and eaten it but he was more in the mood for something warm, something from the local bakery. He thought to himself of all the choices he could buy but was soon stopped in his tracks. Up ahead a giant of a man, dressed in red with orange overalls was storming towards the racers practising grounds. Crona had never seen this guy before and purely because of his size and stance, let alone his abnormally sized fists; Seemed to be an instant threat. His stomach would have to wait; this was far more important. He followed the possible threat, hiding behind trees to avoid being seen.
The figure stopped by the track embankment and Crona spaced out. He made sure to keep a close eye on the location of the giant man, keeping him in view at all times. Finding a good spot he took a second to look at the track below. There seemed to be a lot of commotion. He could recognize most of the people in the crowd since they were the racers of the game. There was Taffyta, Rancis, and Candlehead... Everyone. And a new racer? All of them were surrounding a girl and her kart. Crona had never seen this girl before. She had long black hair which she wore in a ponytail wrapped up with a red liquorish strand. She wore a strange combination of green and brown. Crona watched in horror as the usual racers starting brutally destroying the new girls kart. Taffyta pushed the girl into a puddle of choco-mud. “This is insane” He whispered to himself before an angry shout took him by surprise. Before he knew it the giant man had made a move and was crashing down the hill angry growling as he waved his over-sized fists around. Crona quickly re-adjusted his gaze to the girl, she was still down. Adrenalin took over as he jumped from his hiding place and skidded down the hill. Within moments he stood before her, his hand out-stretched. “Come on!”He whispered to her; rushing with the danger that the giant could cause. She swiftly took hold of his hand. Suddenly a weird sensation came over them both. A series of déjà-vu; almost as if they had met before. Crona quickly shook the thought from his mind as he knew for a fact this girl was new. He looked up for a split second and after looking back down looked back up. The giant was closing fast. Crona pulled the girl behind him and took a defensive position. “Hey!” The giant shouted,” Give me back my medal you little guttersnipe!” At the word `Guttersnipe` Crona tensed up, ready for an attack. “I don`t have it Ralph! Why don`t you just go win another one in your game” The girl replied as she forced one of Crona`s arms down and walked around him to the ruins of her kart; She began to mess around with the pieces, Sighing in despair. “I didn`t win it in MY game! I won it in Heroes Duty!” Ralph angrily replied. Both Vanellope and Crona were on the same page as they began to laugh and snicker about the name `Heroes Doody`. “One more...One more... Why did the Hero flush the toilet....say why?” The girl smirked as she told the start of her joke. Ralph sighed; “Why?” he answered sounding annoyed. “Because it was his DOODY!” It was all too much and Crona burst out laughing loudly, now all attention was on him. He considered running but he probably wouldn`t get far, Looking at Ralph he could catch and clobber him way before he even left the road! “Hey... Whoever you are... Thanks for your concern earlier? May I ask your name” The girl politely asked. “C...Crona “He replied, “Crona Feniski”. The girl smiled, “Well nice to meet`cha. The names Vanellope Von Schweetz” That name made Crona flinch. The Glitch! Crona had heard of it but never seen it before. But how could that be. This girl who stood before him was way to kind to be the malicious glitch he had heard about. He found himself too stunned to reply. So while he found his voice, Vanellope and Ralph went about talking something about a medal and a kart of some sort. Finally the words crawled from his mouth stopping them part way through their conversation, “I...I got to find king candy!” This seemed to alert the two something sour as they faces turned to dread. Crona began to take off on foot in hopes of escape but quickly found himself being pushed over and rolling on the ground. Vanellope pinned him down! “No!”She cried in fear. “Please... don`t tell him... He just wants to hurt me... Me and Ralph... we were going to fix my glitch” She lied,”... Please... join us.” Crona was shaking in fear, He felt terrified. His next words could be a make or break situation. His fear peaked and he suddenly became a blue matrix for a split second. Vanellope jumped back as Crona glitched in fear. He looked at his hands, Terror scratched across his face. He glitched again! What had she done! Vanellope paced backwards shaking her hands from side to side. “I had nothing to do with that”. Crona sat down on a Gumball facing away from the two and watched in interest as he flickered blue. Behind him he could hear the two murmuring again about business. They stopped talking and within moments a huge open hand lightly tapped Crona`s shoulder. He was sure he was about to be crushed but the pressure never increased, instead Ralph spoke to him. “Hey kid...That was a heroic thing you did there, you deserve a medal just as much as I do.”That line made Crona smile and exhale quickly in a short snicker. “I would really prefer it if you came with us, another racer may be handy. Plus... If you go to candy you await the same fate as her!” In the distance Vanellope could be heard calling in excitement “You coming or what!” With a quick glitch Crona swivelled round and gave his reply,” I’m in. Il kuze!” He jumped down and ran to catch up with Vanellope. Ralph jogged and took the back. Crona had no idea where they were going but it was an adventure at least.
Vanellope seemed to walk with a spring in her step; she would have to stop every few miles to wait for the guys to catch up. She would always be impatiently tapping her foot which Crona almost laughed at every time. Such anger did not belong on the face of a chibi character such as herself. Along the way, Crona found himself talking a lot to Ralph. “So your only here by mistake?” Crona asked. Ralph nodded.... “And you’re a bad guy from the game Fix-it-Felix Jr? But you game jumped to get a medal? The same medal Vanellope used to get into the race?” Ralphs reply hit a little more bitterly this time, “Yes! A thousand times yes! How many times must I tell you”? Crona smirked. “One thousand and one times” He replied flashing a cheeky grin. Vanellope’s giggle caught their attention. “Why`d we stop?” Crona asked. Vanellope replied with a point, they had arrived. She had been pointing to a giant factory decorated mostly in green with long chimneys, each one topped with a different colour. Ralph put a finger to his lips “Shhhhh” He whispered as they snuck past the gate. Keeping to whispers and sneaking they reached a steel door. “You`re a real criminal around here ain`tcha” Ralph complimented. Vanellope seemed less amused, “Hey! We had a deal!” With a shrug and a punch Ralph busted down the doors and they sneaked inside. Crona looked back, had seriously No-one heard that!
Inside there were pictures of different karts hanging on a bunch of walls which bordered the room. Crona didn`t get enough time to look at them all as Vanellope slammed her hand into one of the pictures and the walls rose revealing a huge contraption of sorts. Crona whistled in amazement as he ran over, “Is this some sort of game?” Ralph asked. Honestly Crona was too distracted to hear Vanellope`s answer. He sat back and watched as Ralph and Vanellope messed around creating her kart, that’s what Crona guessed they were doing at least. At the icing stage all went wrong. Ralph fired too many shots and slowly the factory equipment began to fall and shatter. Crona cringed; surely someone must have heard that! He ran to the front of the machine as Vanellope’s kart came rolling out, Pushing aside any un-used toppings. It looked like a mess but something about it just worked. Vanellope pranced around her kart happily before running to grab three packs of icing,” A work of art like this needs to be signed~” She stated throwing Ralph and Crona an individual icing. “You sure?”Crona stammered,”I didn`t help make it in anyway”. Vanellope smirked at him, “Come on Mr honest, Just do it!” Crona didn`t need to be told twice, he signed his name under Vanellope’s and above Ralphs. “Whoa you have teeth? I don`t think I’ve ever seen you smile before!” Vanellope giggled. “I’m not smiling I’m just...” Ralph took a second before replying fully “...Gassy”. `Nice. Thanks for letting us all know` Crona thought as he chuckled. The happiness of the moment however was soon cut short as the large kart doors to the bakery opened. “STOP THAT GLITCH” King Candy shouted. He gulped and seemed surprised, “And Wreck It Ralph!” He ordered. Ralph and Crona squirted icing into king candy`s face and Ralph jumped onto the back of Vanellope’s kart. They seemed to be having trouble getting it to go. Then Vanellope spoke the horrible truth, “I`ve never really driven a kart before”. Both of the guys disbelief became apparent as king candy got up, “Get them!”He ordered. “Crona! COME ON!” Ralph shouted. Crona looked back and nodded, “Go! I`ll hold them back as much as possible”. Ralph growled, there was no time for arguing. He dug his fingers through the ground and propelled the kart off into the distance; King Candy, The dough police and a capture truck taking chase. The rest of the forces surrounded Crona, Who despite fighting a noble fight was no match as he had his arms grabbed by two different offices. He kicked out to try to get them to let go but with a painful `Clang` an iron pole to the back of the head had set the racer out ice cold within seconds as he hit the ground he glitched. The last thing of his to go was his hearing; He heard one of the officers mutter the line, “`another glitch! You call the king”.
Crona’s head throbbed as he slowly looked up between the soaked tips of his hair, He was in a dark circular room. He tried to move but chains kept him locked in place. Another drip of water hit his head from the leak in the ceiling. There were etchings on the walls that Crona could only just make out. The latch on the door span as the seal was whisked from the frame. An Oreo guard entered with a box. It stopped in front of Crona, Put down the box; opened it and went to close the door. Looking down Crona could see the items in the box... Various Torture tools. Crona felt sick as the guard came back, why is THIS of all things in such a kawaii game!!! `Shwack! ` Crona yelped as a whip hit him in the stomach. “Where is the glitch?” The guard ordered for an answer. Crona refused and was treated to another whip. This is how it was over the next few hours, They would keep asking his for Vanellope`s location, To which he would refuse to comply, then they would torture him until he blacked out. Crona remembered thinking to himself, `Boy... The king must be scared if he isn`t playing around....`! Crona found himself able to take a beating well as he managed to keep his lips shut. For him, the blacking out was the best part as all traces of pain left his body. This is how it was...
Crona woke up from another blackout session to the sound of chains being applied and the soft crying of a young female. He looked up through his blood and water soaked hair, keeping his head down, “Vanellope...” He called. She looked mortified as she turned her head in his direction. One of the guards also looked at him, “Heh, Your no use to us anymore.... “The guards turned for the door,” I hope I get selected for terminator this time” Crona began to panic; they were going to KILL him!!!!Above his panic though Vanellope’s crying however pulled him off his own panic as he comforted her, “But it’s my entire fault and now you’re going to die for it!”She snivelled. Crona smiled, “Look at me...I know it’s hard but look...” Vanellope struggled but turned to face him. “It was an honour to serve alongside you and for the record, I aint afraid of death” He lied putting on a brave face. In truth he was terrified, He was way too young to die. He spent the next hour or so to calm Vanellope down. They eventually stopped talking and silence fell except for the droplet of water every few seconds dripping into Crona`s hair. There was a banging against the wall as something smashed into it. The prisoner’s faces were immediately attracted to the wall as it crumbled away. Ralph pushed the rubble aside and rolled Vanellope’s kart into the room, he was joined by a much smaller guy who Crona could only guess was the famous Fix-It-Felix that Ralph had told him about. His hearing ebbed as Vanellope got Ralph to insult himself, “And...?” She asked. Ralph sighed, “A stink brain...” She smiled as Ralph broke the chains, “The stinky-est brain of all”. Crona called for Ralph, Who straight after released his from his chains. Crona fell to the ground, partially collapsed. Vanellope ran over and hugged him, picking him up. There it was again! That feeling that they had met, But stronger than before. Crona remembered his feelings for her. He went slightly red as she let go. “Save the hugs for later, you got a race to win” Ralph advised, tapping Vanellope on the shoulder. She nodded and jumped into her kart. It was a mirical that everyone could fit on the one moderately sized kart. Vanellope drove off to the starting line. Crona smiled. `Definantly an improvement` He thought to himself. At the start line everyone jumped off and Vanellope zipped off. For the rest of the race Crona`s eyes were glued to the screen.
Crona watched her progress with great interest. He cheered her on from the line all the way. “Come on just a little further “He mumbled as she passed king candy and entered the tunnel. He crossed his fingers tightly and held his breath. “You got this”... He growled as candy`s kart came back into view and was struck with a mixture of anger as He flipped her kart and attempted to injure her. His fists painfully tightened past their limit. “CHEAT!” He angrily shouted. On the screen Vanellope grabbed the weapon and glitched, King candy glitched as a result, like an ocean wave. Except unlike her he began to change and flicker between two appearances, “Is that?” Felix asked. “No way!” Ralph replied in shock “Turbo!” Crona looked back at the duo with fear then returned his attention to the screen and shouting at it “GLITCH VANELLOPE! I KNOW YOU CAN! GLITCH!” At that point Vanellope closed her eyes, concentrating .She pulled together a cluster of energy and glitched to safety. The three guys cheered. Crona was so flustered with happiness that he did not see Calhoun storm over and smash Ralph in the face for letting a cybug infestation loose. It was only as soon as they began to burst from the ground that this new threat was identified. Crona took his attention of the screen for a bit to aid in the evacuation. Every now and then he would look over though and cheer on Vanellope. He turned away but was instantly turned when a crashing noise caught his attention. Vanellope had crashed nearby. Him and Ralph ran over and removed her from the kart before she could be harmed. As they dragged her away she whined, “What about the finish line!” “There`s no line left kid” Ralph sadly replied. They met up with Calhoun and Felix at the entrance to the game. “That’s everyone out! No I just need to destroy this bridge” Calhoun informed the group. Vanellope seemed to not be happy about the idea of leaving the game, Crona ran out but turned upon hearing pained screams as Vanellope got loose, “I told you... a glitch can’t leave their game” Crona was stunned as a sick feeling dwelled in his stomach, “Then how did I....?” . Vanellope spoke in a sorrowful tone, “Go without me. It`ll be fine” From the other side of the screen a loud unusual clattering noise rang through the arcade. Vanellope smiled sadly, “Litwack must of come in early today...Well its better than being eaten”. The plug socket began to move. Crona, finally finding his courage for the moment, growled and ran back though, pushing Ralph back and ignoring Vanellope`s wishes. Ralph screamed at them both but as the plug came away his voice was muted. “Why....” Vanellope went to ask a question as Crona took her hands. “Shhhhh” Crona smiled quickly lunging in and locking lips with her for a few seconds. The feeling returned, in its full force! It all came back to him! Who he was, why he was here, why he liked Vanellope so much, as the background disintegrated to black he pulled back and she cuddled into him.” Crona.... See you on the other side...My love” She looked up. He kissed her one last time as they were sucked into the eternal darkness...

The last attack closed in like a torpedo; Crona fell back as his health dropped below zero. He collapsed onto his stomach and looked up at the boss; Glitching as his vision blurred to black. The last thing to roll through his mind was his regret; He had died outside of his home game. This was Game Over once and for all, Vanellope I..... Silence.....
There was no mistaking he empty darkness of death... Yet there was a feeling of life resonating through. Crona felt energy rise up in him as he slowly opened his eyes and looked around; the landscape was completely made of sugary treats! The trees were Candy canes, There were Jelly rocks. Even the clouds, usually puffy and white, were replaces with candyfloss? Crona smiled as he struggled to his feet. This was his home, There was no way he could forget Sugar Rush...Ever! He stretched and clicked his fingers. He scratched an itch on his face and pulled on his button nose, making sure no dirt had got stuck in his nostrils. Then came his almighty roar, His yawn was loud enough to disturb a nest in a nearby tree. He looked at the birds and sighed, He really needed to get that noise level under control. He began to walk off towards the local town. His stomach grumbled as he covered his belly before patting it. Despite the world being made of candy, He had not had a bite to eat all day. He could`ve just snapped off a branch and eaten it but he was more in the mood for something warm, something from the local bakery. He thought to himself of all the choices he could buy but was soon stopped in his tracks. Up ahead a giant of a man, dressed in red with orange overalls was storming towards the racers practising grounds. Crona had never seen this guy before and purely because of his size and stance, let alone his abnormally sized fists; Seemed to be an instant threat. His stomach would have to wait; this was far more important. He followed the possible threat, hiding behind trees to avoid being seen.
The figure stopped by the track embankment and Crona spaced out. He made sure to keep a close eye on the location of the giant man, keeping him in view at all times. Finding a good spot he took a second to look at the track below. There seemed to be a lot of commotion. He could recognize most of the people in the crowd since they were the racers of the game. There was Taffyta, Rancis, and Candlehead... Everyone. And a new racer? All of them were surrounding a girl and her kart. Crona had never seen this girl before. She had long black hair which she wore in a ponytail wrapped up with a red liquorish strand. She wore a strange combination of green and brown. Crona watched in horror as the usual racers starting brutally destroying the new girls kart. Taffyta pushed the girl into a puddle of choco-mud. “This is insane” He whispered to himself before an angry shout took him by surprise. Before he knew it the giant man had made a move and was crashing down the hill angry growling as he waved his over-sized fists around. Crona quickly re-adjusted his gaze to the girl, she was still down. Adrenalin took over as he jumped from his hiding place and skidded down the hill. Within moments he stood before her, his hand out-stretched. “Come on!”He whispered to her; rushing with the danger that the giant could cause. She swiftly took hold of his hand. Suddenly a weird sensation came over them both. A series of déjà-vu; almost as if they had met before. Crona quickly shook the thought from his mind as he knew for a fact this girl was new. He looked up for a split second and after looking back down looked back up. The giant was closing fast. Crona pulled the girl behind him and took a defensive position. “Hey!” The giant shouted,” Give me back my medal you little guttersnipe!” At the word `Guttersnipe` Crona tensed up, ready for an attack. “I don`t have it Ralph! Why don`t you just go win another one in your game” The girl replied as she forced one of Crona`s arms down and walked around him to the ruins of her kart; She began to mess around with the pieces, Sighing in despair. “I didn`t win it in MY game! I won it in Heroes Duty!” Ralph angrily replied. Both Vanellope and Crona were on the same page as they began to laugh and snicker about the name `Heroes Doody`. “One more...One more... Why did the Hero flush the toilet....say why?” The girl smirked as she told the start of her joke. Ralph sighed; “Why?” he answered sounding annoyed. “Because it was his DOODY!” It was all too much and Crona burst out laughing loudly, now all attention was on him. He considered running but he probably wouldn`t get far, Looking at Ralph he could catch and clobber him way before he even left the road! “Hey... Whoever you are... Thanks for your concern earlier?

Vanellope jumped back as Crona glitched in fear. He looked at his hands, Terror scratched across his face. He glitched again! What had she done! Vanellope paced backwards shaking her hands from side to side. “I had nothing to do with that”. Crona sat down on a Gumball facing away from the two and watched in interest as he flickered blue. Behind him he could hear the two murmuring again about business. They stopped talking and within moments a huge open hand lightly tapped Crona`s shoulder. He was sure he was about to be crushed but the pressure never increased, instead Ralph spoke to him. “Hey kid...That was a heroic thing you did there, you deserve a medal just as much as I do.”That line made Crona smile and exhale quickly in a short snicker. “I would really prefer it if you came with us, another racer may be handy.

Il kuze!” He jumped down and ran to catch up with Vanellope. Ralph jogged and took the back. Crona had no idea where they were going but it was an adventure at least.
Vanellope seemed to walk with a spring in her step; she would have to stop every few miles to wait for the guys to catch up. She would always be impatiently tapping her foot which Crona almost laughed at every time. Such anger did not belong on the face of a chibi character such as herself. Along the way, Crona found himself talking a lot to Ralph. “So your only here by mistake?” Crona asked. Ralph nodded.... “And you’re a bad guy from the game Fix-it-Felix Jr? But you game jumped to get a medal? The same medal Vanellope used to get into the race?” Ralphs reply hit a little more bitterly this time, “Yes! A thousand times yes! How many times must I tell you”? Crona smirked. “One thousand and one times” He replied flashing a cheeky grin. Vanellope’s giggle caught their attention. “Why`d we stop?” Crona asked. Vanellope replied with a point, they had arrived. She had been pointing to a giant factory decorated mostly in green with long chimneys, each one topped with a different colour. Ralph put a finger to his lips “Shhhhh” He whispered as they snuck past the gate. Keeping to whispers and sneaking they reached a steel door. “You`re a real criminal around here ain`tcha” Ralph complimented. Vanellope seemed less amused, “Hey! We had a deal!” With a shrug and a punch Ralph busted down the doors and they sneaked inside. Crona looked back, had seriously No-one heard that!
Inside there were pictures of different karts hanging on a bunch of walls which bordered the room. Crona didn`t get enough time to look at them all as Vanellope slammed her hand into one of the pictures and the walls rose revealing a huge contraption of sorts. Crona whistled in amazement as he ran over, “Is this some sort of game?” Ralph asked. Honestly Crona was too distracted to hear Vanellope`s answer. He sat back and watched as Ralph and Vanellope messed around creating her kart, that’s what Crona guessed they were doing at least. At the icing stage all went wrong. Ralph fired too many shots and slowly the factory equipment began to fall and shatter. Crona cringed; surely someone must have heard that! He ran to the front of the machine as Vanellope’s kart came rolling out, Pushing aside any un-used toppings. It looked like a mess but something about it just worked. Vanellope pranced around her kart happily before running to grab three packs of icing,” A work of art like this needs to be signed~” She stated throwing Ralph and Crona an individual icing. “You sure?”Crona stammered,”I didn`t help make it in anyway”. Vanellope smirked at him, “Come on Mr honest, Just do it!” Crona didn`t need to be told twice, he signed his name under Vanellope’s and above Ralphs. “Whoa you have teeth? I don`t think I’ve ever seen you smile before!” Vanellope giggled. “I’m not smiling I’m just...” Ralph took a second before replying fully “...Gassy”. `Nice.

Ralph growled, there was no time for arguing. He dug his fingers through the ground and propelled the kart off into the distance; King Candy, The dough police and a capture truck taking chase. The rest of the forces surrounded Crona, Who despite fighting a noble fight was no match as he had his arms grabbed by two different offices. He kicked out to try to get them to let go but with a painful `Clang` an iron pole to the back of the head had set the racer out ice cold within seconds as he hit the ground he glitched. The last thing of his to go was his hearing; He heard one of the officers mutter the line, “`another glitch! You call the king”.
Crona’s head throbbed as he slowly looked up between the soaked tips of his hair, He was in a dark circular room. He tried to move but chains kept him locked in place. Another drip of water hit his head from the leak in the ceiling. There were etchings on the walls that Crona could only just make out. The latch on the door span as the seal was whisked from the frame. An Oreo guard entered with a box. It stopped in front of Crona, Put down the box; opened it and went to close the door. Looking down Crona could see the items in the box... Various Torture tools. Crona felt sick as the guard came back, why is THIS of all things in such a kawaii game!!! `Shwack! ` Crona yelped as a whip hit him in the stomach. “Where is the glitch?” The guard ordered for an answer. Crona refused and was treated to another whip. This is how it was over the next few hours, They would keep asking his for Vanellope`s location, To which he would refuse to comply, then they would torture him until he blacked out. Crona remembered thinking to himself, `Boy... The king must be scared if he isn`t playing around....`! Crona found himself able to take a beating well as he managed to keep his lips shut. For him, the blacking out was the best part as all traces of pain left his body. This is how it was...
Crona woke up from another blackout session to the sound of chains being applied and the soft crying of a young female. He looked up through his blood and water soaked hair, keeping his head down, “Vanellope...” He called. She looked mortified as she turned her head in his direction. One of the guards also looked at him, “Heh, Your no use to us anymore.... “The guards turned for the door,” I hope I get selected for terminator this time” Crona began to panic; they were going to KILL him!!!!Above his panic though Vanellope’s crying however pulled him off his own panic as he comforted her, “But it’s my entire fault and now you’re going to die for it!”She snivelled. Crona smiled, “Look at me...I know it’s hard but look...” Vanellope struggled but turned to face him. “It was an honour to serve alongside you and for the record, I aint afraid of death” He lied putting on a brave face. In truth he was terrified, He was way too young to die. He spent the next hour or so to calm Vanellope down. They eventually stopped talking and silence fell except for the droplet of water every few seconds dripping into Crona`s hair. There was a banging against the wall as something smashed into it. The prisoner’s faces were immediately attracted to the wall as it crumbled away. Ralph pushed the rubble aside and rolled Vanellope’s kart into the room, he was joined by a much smaller guy who Crona could only guess was the famous Fix-It-Felix that Ralph had told him about. His hearing ebbed as Vanellope got Ralph to insult himself, “And...?” She asked. Ralph sighed, “A stink brain...” She smiled as Ralph broke the chains, “The stinky-est brain of all”. Crona called for Ralph, Who straight after released his from his chains. Crona fell to the ground, partially collapsed. Vanellope ran over and hugged him, picking him up. There it was again! That feeling that they had met, But stronger than before. Crona remembered his feelings for her. He went slightly red as she let go. “Save the hugs for later, you got a race to win” Ralph advised, tapping Vanellope on the shoulder. She nodded and jumped into her kart. It was a mirical that everyone could fit on the one moderately sized kart. Vanellope drove off to the starting line. Crona smiled. `Definantly an improvement` He thought to himself. At the start line everyone jumped off and Vanellope zipped off. For the rest of the race Crona`s eyes were glued to the screen.
Crona watched her progress with great interest. He cheered her on from the line all the way. “Come on just a little further “He mumbled as she passed king candy and entered the tunnel. He crossed his fingers tightly and held his breath. “You got this”... He growled as candy`s kart came back into view and was struck with a mixture of anger as He flipped her kart and attempted to injure her. His fists painfully tightened past their limit. “CHEAT!” He angrily shouted. On the screen Vanellope grabbed the weapon and glitched, King candy glitched as a result, like an ocean wave. Except unlike her he began to change and flicker between two appearances, “Is that?” Felix asked. “No way!” Ralph replied in shock “Turbo!” Crona looked back at the duo with fear then returned his attention to the screen and shouting at it “GLITCH VANELLOPE! I KNOW YOU CAN! GLITCH!” At that point Vanellope closed her eyes, concentrating .She pulled together a cluster of energy and glitched to safety. The three guys cheered. Crona was so flustered with happiness that he did not see Calhoun storm over and smash Ralph in the face for letting a cybug infestation loose. It was only as soon as they began to burst from the ground that this new threat was identified. Crona took his attention of the screen for a bit to aid in the evacuation. Every now and then he would look over though and cheer on Vanellope. He turned away but was instantly turned when a crashing noise caught his attention. Vanellope had crashed nearby. Him and Ralph ran over and removed her from the kart before she could be harmed. As they dragged her away she whined, “What about the finish line!” “There`s no line left kid” Ralph sadly replied. They met up with Calhoun and Felix at the entrance to the game. “That’s everyone out! No I just need to destroy this bridge” Calhoun informed the group. Vanellope seemed to not be happy about the idea of leaving the game, Crona ran out but turned upon hearing pained screams as Vanellope got loose, “I told you... a glitch can’t leave their game” Crona was stunned as a sick feeling dwelled in his stomach, “Then how did I....?” . Vanellope spoke in a sorrowful tone, “Go without me. It`ll be fine” From the other side of the screen a loud unusual clattering noise rang through the arcade. Vanellope smiled sadly, “Litwack must of come in early today...Well its better than being eaten”. The plug socket began to move. Crona, finally finding his courage for the moment, growled and ran back though, pushing Ralph back and ignoring Vanellope`s wishes. Ralph screamed at them both but as the plug came away his voice was muted. “Why....” Vanellope went to ask a question as Crona took her hands. “Shhhhh” Crona smiled quickly lunging in and locking lips with her for a few seconds. The feeling returned, in its full force! It all came back to him! Who he was, why he was here, why he liked Vanellope so much, as the background disintegrated to black he pulled back and she cuddled into him.” Crona.... See you on the other side...My love” She looked up. He kissed her one last time as they were sucked into the eternal darkness...
