"After the war against the cybugs & that Turbo guy, some shocking revelations were made. I'm actually the princess of Sugar Rush. But I chose to be president instead. Ralph saved his game &
earned respect without that dumb old medal. Felix & that angry Hero's Doody (haha) lady got married. And Minty Sakura is back from her vacation in Extreme EZ Livin' 2. Out of all of the racers, she is around the least.".
Vanellope is in her chamber in the Candy Castle alone. She's down about something, but trying to think of what. She had friends now. She had power. She was appreciated. But one number was missing from the equation. Whatever lt was, she wouldn't find here. Not with Sour Bill always budging in uninvited. She needed to find a place where Sour Bill couldn't bother her with presidential things, so she could find an answer to this perplexing question. She put on her favorite mint green sweater & left to find sanctuary.
Normally, Vanellope would take her kart, the Lickity Split, wherever she went. Afterall, she loves racing & was deprived of that priviledge for fifteen years before the events of last week.
But this time was different. She needed a walk. Walking helps her think. Who doesn't lt help?
And all the while, she thought about her problem, about what she was missing. In fact, she was so deep in thought, that she forgot to where she was going. She ended up far from the castle, to the end of the game. Few people have gone this far. She herself had only been here a few times. It then dawned on her how far she had gone & that she didn't know where she was going.
She examined her surroundings. The ground was mainly plains made of solid white chocolate, but there were some brown chocolate hills leading in the direction of the castle. There were a few candy cane trees here & there, though not as tall as the ones in the Forest. The sky took on a light orange hue & was showing off some long cumulonimbus clouds that took on the forms of various sweets. She could hear the sounds of racing in the distance, a familiar & comfortable sound. She has been accustomed to the musical sound since her days living in Diet Cola Mountain.
It was the only thing she ever looked forward to for all those years. She heard another sound,
but not one that she was accustomed to. She looked for the source & found out what lt was. It was a cybug!
She instantly rememberred how dangerous they were, albeit this was a baby. It spotted her & flew forward, clearly hostile. She was unsteady, but prepared to fight. It was a meter away &
approaching fast. Then, lt stopped. No, lt was stopped. It was bouncing off of an invisible force field.
'The Game Wall.', she thought.
She then became surprised & confused.
'The Game Wall? But that would mean... I can cross the Game Wall!'.
A world of unexplored, unrenderred landscape lay ahead & she would be the first & only character to see lt. But first, she had to destroy that cybug. She walked over to the cybug, on the reverse side of the Wall. She put her hand through & touched the bug. Blue & green light circled the insect as Vanellope used her glitching to decode lt. It struggled against her touch, but was hopeless to get away. It let out a screech & dropped to the ground, now devoid of all motion.
That was the end of that.
She turned around & smiled at the breathtaking view from her side of the Wall. Onward she pressed to find out the hidden secrets of the game. The further she went, the more ominous the appearance of the sky. The radiant orange was darkening. That would mean lt was becoming night. But there were no nights in Sugar Rush. It was always the bright of day. The candy cane trees were becoming increasingly less frequent & the ground was transitioning to a multi-color pallet, similar to the pattern of a candy cane. It was getting dark; & quiet; & lonely. There were no more trees keeping her company. She thought lt would be cool to see this place, but lt has gotten quite creepy &
the atmosphere has just become overall unsettling, like lt was telling her she shouldn't be there. She was a brave president & didn't let these things sway her.
After another ten minutes of walking, lt had become dark as night. Looking behind her, she could no longer see the light from where she started. There was so little sound that her ears were ringing, which only served to support the scary scene. Finally, the redundancy was interrupted with the sighting of a large, grey object in the distance. It wasn't just large. It was enormous. It coverred her whole visage. Soon, she realized that she had reached the real end of the game. That object was the back of the machine.
"All of that for nothing", she sighed.
There was nothing there to see, though lt could be considerred harmonious toward the beginning,
where there is still light. She about faced & walked back toward the entrance. Even on the way back, lt was creepy, but the second walk seemed to be going much quicker than the first. As that afternoon aurora of bliss became apparent in the sky once again, something caught her eye that didn't the first time. It was only visible from the returning angle, as lt was hidden behind a randomly placed hill. It was a glitching strip of land, partially transparent & without color,
unlike everything else. She got off of the road & went behind the hill, to check out this anomaly.
It was the only interesting part of the zone. The whole strip was about the size of a wooden plank & width of a coffee table. She could now see that lt was also reflecting the sky.
Curiously, she tried stepping on lt with one foot. It phased through like air. She decided to jump in. If she got stuck, she could just glitch out. She took a dive.
Vanellope landed outside of her castle.
"A teleporter? Cool!".
It was strange & offputting that the usual ambience of racing karts going by was not present. It was rare for absolutely noone to be racing. The game looked weird as her eyes were still adjusting to the light. She saw a person standing in front of her, back turned. That person turned around.
"Hi.. Vanellope?".
Who is the mysterious person? Anyway, I'm away & I don't have my notebook with me, so I'm going to have to break tradition for the first time. For the next week or so, I'm only going to work on Mario Beginnings & BeelZeBub Arcade. You won't see any new chapters for this story for a month or so. On another note, lt looks like I invented Vakura. You won't find lt anywhere else.
