EDIT: I've deleted the crossover version of this with Hunger Games. I decided it wasn't really a crossover. If you have complaints about that, TOO BAD! END EDIT

This is just some stupid idea that hit me sometime yesterday. It's probably due to all the murderous King Candybug/Turbug versions I've been finding and reading about lately. So much murder in such a sugary place…

Yeah, this is just some stupid survival guide thing to an alternate murderous version of my own King Candybug/Turbug. Yes, the kids will be getting killed. By a giant cy-bug hybrid. With a taste for sugar-themed racers. Yay!

There will be OCs (original characters) in this! If you want to have yours included and wish to RP (role-play) your character's part out in a chapter, CONTACT ME THROUGH A PM (personal message) OR IN MY FORUM (link in my profile)! DO NOT PUT YOUR OC IN A REVIEW! NO EXCEPTIONS!

…Why are most of my Sugar Rush ideas so bloody and murderous now?

Also, if you have ideas for ways King Candybug/Turbug can trap, catch, and/or kill racers using candy or other sweets, feel free to voice your ideas in a review. If you got the idea from another source (candycaneforest-lurker on tumblr, for example), include that source so I can give credit to the creator if I decide to use that idea in a chapter.

I already have the eventual ending for this thought out. It'll likely be written out soon and posted once I've either run out of ideas for this or I just get bored. This story likely won't be very long unless people give me loads of hilarious ideas to use in this.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sugar Rush, the Sugar Rush racers, King Candy, Turbo, cy-bugs, or cybrids.

Anyhow, this author's note is long enough already! I hope you enjoy this! Onto the story!

Wreck-It Ralph: Sugar Rush

Pepper's Survival Guides

How to Survive a Game Called Hunger

Victim 1: Sweet-Tasting Glitch

Sugar Rush looked relatively normal today. The candy people ran about happily. The castle shone in all its pink—excuse me, salmon—glory. There was no sign of trouble.

There was just one problem. Well, two if you really thought about it.

One, there wasn't a hint of sound coming from any of the sugary racetracks that dotted the landscape of Sugar Rush. Considering it was after arcade hours, though, you could easily ignore that.

Two, the candy cane forest was strangely inaccessible. Not because of glitches, mind you. Strange spikes of rock candy and candy cane had erupted from the chocolate earth, completely surrounding the red and white-striped forest. Nobody could get into it. Where they came from, nobody was sure.

All the residents knew…was that there was a lot of noise coming behind those spikes.

.o.o.o.o.

That's where our story begins.

You see, turns out Turbo didn't really die in Diet Cola Mountain. He regenerated. And boy, was he unhappy!

Too bad none of us realized he was alive until it was too late.

It was after arcade hours when Vanellope issued a little dare to the rest of us—run through candy cane forest. The first to get back to Royal Raceway without getting lost was the winner. The winner got a huge bag of lollipops.

Keep in mind how big candy cane forest is. Most of Sugar Rush has smaller pockets of said forest spread out between the racetracks. The one Vanellope wanted us to run through was the main candy cane forest. The giant one located just between Royal Raceway and the junkyard.

Also, keep in mind that Vanellope practically lived there during the time our memories were locked away by Turbo. She knew every inch of that place.

Pretty much, we were all screwed. But, eager for a challenge—and for free pre-picked lollipops—we all accepted the dare. After arcade hours, we met there and began our run.

Then the spikes tore up the ground all around candy cane forest, trapping us inside.

Now, before you say it, Vanellope tried to glitch past them. She crashed into an invisible wall. It was kind of funny…at first.

Then Turbo showed up in all his monstrous cybrid glory.

We all knew we were screwed right then and there.

…Only, it turns out we weren't.

"We're gonna play a little game, okay? You run around like you always do. If you can escape me, you win. If I catch you…"

The next words are my reason for recording all of this.

"…You're food."

Yep, you heard it right. Food. Turbo planned to eat us. I guess since he's now a cybrid, candy isn't enough to satisfy his palette. He's moved onto live prey. And what better prey than the same brats he once ruled over. Add in Vanellope, the one who ruined his plans, and you've got quite the sugary meal plan.

"Now then, all of you are going to end up as food. But I have a special reward for whoever is the last one standing at the end of this little game of mine. A very special reward."

I didn't like the sound of that. He said "reward" like it was something he'd happily bestow on someone. For all we knew, there might not even be a reward. But hope spread like wildfire, so winning took over our minds.

"Of course, let's start this game off with a bang!"

Our hope was shattered when Turbo suddenly snatched up Vanellope, dangling her over his fanged mouth. Somebody was screaming. We all watched in horror, not believing this was actually going to happen.

"Princesses first! Oh, wait. You're a president now, right? Not like it actually matters or anything..."

There was no time to glitch. No time to scream or beg or cry. No time to appeal to his better nature, if such a thing existed.

Just a quick drop into a slow and agonizing death via digestion.

Turbo grinned, licking his lips. "Who'd know glitches actually tasted good?" he chuckled. Then he turned on us. "I suggest you run, brats. Before I decide I'm still hungry."

We scattered like mice, screaming and running for our lives. Vanellope, our president, was dead! And we were all going to die, too!

It wasn't until later that I'd remember we'd simply regenerate. Seeing as none of us ever saw Vanellope in the candy cane forest again, I have to assume she regenerated outside of the spikes. Hopefully she'll be smart enough to get Ralph and Sgt. Calhoun before we all die…

So that's how our story begins. We're all stuck in the candy cane forest, on the run from a mutant cy-bug monster who wants to eat us. Vanellope is gone. There's no hope except to try and survive.

So I, Pepper Swirlminta, have decided to keep a record of how to survive in such a situation. Stupid thing to do, probably, but it kills time for me. Besides, I might get lucky enough to win this crazy game. And we might need this guide someday if Turbo regenerates again and decides to play another sick game like this with us.

The first rule is simple.

Rules of Survival #1: Don't be the one who ruined his plans in the past.

I wonder how far into this game I'll get. I guess we'll just have to wait and see…
