It's All In The Code

Disclaimer: some parts of Turbo's canon story will be slightly altered in order to better accommodate this fanfic, which is designed to cover his character arc much more extensively than the actual movie. Also, the cover art is not mine, and I will be posting updates once a week (on average)

It was all about him, even from the beginning.

Who should have been surprised? Even his game bore his name: TurboTime. Once childlike and innocent, the name soon became something to be feared. This is the tale of a beloved racer who had all the prestige he could ever want, yet a pinch of jealousy was all it took to corrupt his code into something unrecognizable. Obsessed with making his mark, he took down two games singlehandedly, nearly ruining the entire Arcade. Ten years later, his voracious appetite for fame sought to usurp Sugar Rush. Disguised as the charming King Candy, he eagerly embraced his new role, carefully removing every last trace of his true identity, now little more than a ghost story whispered among characters.

While he hid his exploits well, his past could not stay buried forever, for there is no hiding from the evil that lies within. But what better place is there for that seed to start sprouting, then from the ground up?
