Ponyville …

Vanellope's POV

A pony burst in the door of Twilight's library and told us that Twilight was needed at the castle. Twilight told us we could tag along and we happily obliged. I was in my kart and when I found the castle, I found out it was on the side of a mountain! I shrugged, concentrated and glitched myself up the mountain into the city, it was about three miles up the side of the mountain so it was a bit of a stretch for me. I arrived in the city and Twilight was a few minutes behind me.

"You could have gone on the train." She told me.

"There's a train? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Uh, I didn't have a chance to." I told them to wait for me and I glitched back down the side of the mountain. I parked my kart around the back of Sugarcube Corner and walked back to the side of the mountain. I glitched back up and found them all staring at me.

"What?" They pointed behind me. I turned around and saw a Cy-Bug. More specifically, I saw King Turbug. King Turbug is a rogue glitch/game character type thing. He looked like a cross between a Cy-Bug and a demented version of King Candy.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was here before you came here Vanellope." He snarled as he said my name. I shuddered.

"How did you get here?"

"When I nearly got vaporised by that lumbering oaf Wreck-It Ralph in the Diet Cola hot springs I started thinking. I thought about everything that I did and I wondered what happened to glitches who died. Well, naturally, when I thought that a door opened up and dumped me in the middle of a forest. It was a big forest, don't get me wrong, but I still want my revenge. So when I heard about a glitching person who arrived in Equestria I thought that it was you. Looks like my hunch was right." He grinned menacingly and started to switch between King Candy and Turbo. Instead of his glitch being blue, like mine, his was red.

"Does anyone know where a beacon is?"

"What's a beacon?"

"A beacon is a cone of light." Sergeant Calhoun quipped.

Game Central Station …

Sergeant Calhoun's POV

I had just done a day's work in Hero's Duty and I was about to head back home to Felix when I saw a dusty old corner and an unused game entrance. I walked over to investigate and it looked activated. The only problem was that there was no name on top of the entrance. Luckily, I still had all my gear and weapons and I walked into the entrance. I felt myself being ripped to shreds, then put back together quite harshly. I didn't even have time to scream.

Ponyville …

I ended up in a lush-green meadow and I saw a town in the distance. I walked up to it, weary, and I saw a lot of ponies there. 'Please tell me this isn't a kid's game.' It didn't look like a game. I couldn't see the inside of Litwack's like I usually would when I was in a game. I saw them all looking towards a mountain that appeared to have a city on the side. I saw Vanellope's kart behind a restaurant. It didn't look discarded, more as if it was put there on purpose. 'Vanellope's here.' I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked at the kart. I found a compartment in the back and put all my weapons in it. After I did that I hopped into the kart and got it started. 'Luckily I paid attention to her when she showed how to work this.' I revved it up and sped off towards the mountain. I saw train tracks running up to the city and hopped the kart onto the tracks. It wasn't easy. As I drove on the track I heard a train whistle behind me. 'Oh no.' I sped up and I didn't fall although I nearly did. There was a pink bubble around the city as I got up to it. I drove through and I felt a shiver. 'That was weird.' I glanced up and I saw King Turbug and Vanellope. 'I'm glad she's alright. She's a tough little soldier.' I took the kart off the track and hid it in an alleyway. I got all my weapons out of the compartment and ran up to Vanellope.

Vanellope's POV

"Sergeant Calhoun? What are you doing here?" She told me all about how she wound up here.

"Why hello there. I hope you haven't forgotten about me?" Who would? Sergeant Calhoun powered up her gun and let it rip. A barrage of lasers bombarded him and he fell onto the train tracks. He got and fell down again. His leg was caught in one of the tracks.

"What's this mockery? Vanellope!" I looked up at that.

"I challenge you to a race! You and me. Tomorrow." He's determined to prove that he's the best racer in the world.

"Fine. But I choose the place. What happens if you win?" We struggled to get his leg unstuck. His whole body glitched and he reverted back to King Candy/Turbo.

"If I win then you get me a way back into Game Central Station and if you win?"

"If I win then you leave everyone alone forever. If you die then that's your problem, not mine.

"Well that's excellent news. See you tomorrow morning at …"

"At Ghastly Gorge!" He nodded and glitched out.

"Are you sure about this?" Calhoun asked me.

"Yes I'm sure." I noticed the turquoise Unicorn from before.

"What's your name?" She seemed startled as I asked what her name was.

"Golden Flames." I noticed that her picture was one of a golden flame with a red outline.

"Why is that your picture?"

"Picture?"

"The one on your flank" I pointed.

"Oh that's not a picture. It's called a cutie mark. It means that I can use eight different coloured flames." Sergeant Calhoun and I just looked.

"Where's my kart?" She showed me where it was. I sighed in relief and I drove with her on the spoiler. I told her to grip the spoiler as hard as she could and I glitched, I never glitched with another person before. I glitched us down onto the valley floor and she hopped off the spoiler.

"That was something different." She seemed stunned that I could glitch another person.

"Did you infect me with a virus?"

"I hope not. I've never done it before." She seemed worried. I was worried as well. We got back in the kart and I drove up to Sugarcube Corner and parked it there.

"Sergeant, may I speak to you for a minute?" Twilight asked Sergeant Calhoun.

"Sure." She went off with Twilight to talk about something or other. While they were doing that I checked out my kart. I popped the hood and I checked the engine for any oil leaks. There weren't any. I checked it over for any massive damage. It looked fine. In fact it looked better than ever.

"You still looking at your kart?" Pinkie asked me.

"Yeah, just checking it to make sure there isn't any damage."

"I fixed it for you." I was astonished at that. From what everyone told me she was a party pony and she didn't know anything mechanical.

"I used to work on a rock farm. Whenever one of the rock tractors got broken, my parents called me over to fix it."

"Wow. Okay." We walked into Sugarcube Corner and she offered me a cupcake.
"What flavour is it?"

"The flavour is chocolate." I ate it and then I felt a little funny. I got up but I felt dizzy so I sat back down.

"Hey, Vanellope you okay?" She had a concerned look on her face.

"Yeah I'm okay. I just have to lie down for a while." I got up and dizzily walked into my room, which is the basement of Sugarcube Corner. I threw myself onto the bed and dreamt.

I dreamt that I was racing back in Sugar Rush and I was first. Rancis was just behind with one of his cronies just behind him. I was just about to cross the finish line when my kart stalled. Every other racer got past me and I ended up last. I couldn't even glitch. Rancis came up to me and leered eerily. His body shifted into that of King Turbug.

I screamed and woke up in a sweat. 'I have to win that race tomorrow.' I then got up and went to get a drink from the fridge that the Cakes keep in the basement. When I drunk my fill I went back to bed and fell into an uneasy sleep.
