This is chapter 1…Turbo wakes up in a strange place, unable to remember ANYTHING. Also…eventual slash…please don't hate me…don't read if that's gonna weird you out. More on the pairing later—it'll prolly just be a big ol surprise to y'all.

Let's start this mofo!

-v—v-

On the far outskirts of Diet Cola Mountain, there was something happening that would definitely cause an uproar (at the very LEAST confused murmurings) had anyone actually been there to witness it.

The game had been reset, the damage was fixed, tracks were being returned to normal. The mentos had returned to the way they were, and the world itself look shiny and new. But while a small princess was getting her time in the spotlight, and the whole of Sugar Rush got back stolen memories, a ripple began that no one was there to see.

It started as just a blip of glitchy pixels, but soon grew to be a decent sized tear into the world itself—then with a scratchy, jumbled tone, something materialized on the ground—a body splayed out in the dirt like he had fallen from a great height.

It was Turbo.

But how? How had he survived when his death was so absolute—so definitive? He died outside of his game! The whole of Sugar Rush had watched his mutated form fly into the glowing beacon of diet cola; saw him disappear with a strangle scream. So how was it that he lay here in the sandy chocolate, amongst the gum drops and sprinkles?

It was simple.

He had altered his code so greatly by becoming King Candy, that at his very core, he was now a permanent member of Sugar Rush. Having taken over an unused sprite model, he made it very easy for the game to just accept him as one of its own.

So while he did in fact die, it seems as though his basic code was respawned just as any other racer or npc would respawn in their game.

Only now he was just Turbo…at least that's who he's supposed to be. With the changes he made to his most basic of code, the respawn might have done more harm than good
