Suddenly, the stream of racers were zooming down the road to Vanellope. They started to follow her and peeked over a hill to see her skidded to a stop around Vanellope, but she instead hide down the hill. Vanellope looked at the racers as she was glitching a little while the racers sent her a dead glare.
"Hello, fellow racers!" Vanellope said in a friendly tone. Her image flickered in and out of focus as she greeted them. "Come to check out the competition, huh? Well, here it is: the Lickety-Split, the ultimate driving machine."
"Oh, Vanellope, it's so…you." Taffyta remarked. "But you have to back out of the race."
"Oh no, I don't." Vanellope replied with a little surprise. "I paid my fee and I'm on the board. So I am definitely racing."
"But King Candy said glitches can't race." Taffya told Vanellope as her arms were crossed.
"I'm not a glitch, Taffya." Vanellope snapped. "I've just got pixlexia, okay?"
But when Taffya went on Vanellope's kart, she began to shake and imitating Vanellope's glitch as a result of tearing the wheel. The racers begin to join Taffya by tearing the pieces of Vanellope's kart. Vanellope and Alisa were trying to protect the kart, but Taffya pushed Vanellope in a mud puddle.
After the racers were laughing at Vanellope and her broken kart, they jumped into their karts and zoomed off.
As tears were coming out from her eyes, Vanellope ran back to the Diet Cola Mountain and went to her bed of candy wrappers. She couldn't believe the racers had destroyed her precious kart. All she wants to do is to race like them. She doesn't really care that she can't race because she is a glitch. She just wished that she could race and stand up against King Candy.
Then, something happen.
Vanellope saw an white ancient book above her pillow. She open it up and read the pages.
"Amazing." Vanellope said. "This book was from the kingdom."
Vanellope continues to read the pages. The letters did look like hieroglyphics, but she could understand what it said.
"The princess will return to claim her rights." Vanellope said quietly. She touched the sketch of the tall battle doll with her fingertips. "I wish that doll was my best friend."
At Vanellope's word, the mint green hieroglyphic symbol appeared below her and a whirling funnel of wind swirled around her. The little octopus-like creatures swirled from the funnel and circled Vanellope. For a moment, Vanellope forgot about her sadness.
Then something amazing happened. The floor around Vanellope turned into shimmering white crystal. The crystal spread like liquid to each corner of the mountain. Then the crystal covered the walls and the bed wrappers, including the small geyser and the unfinished track. That was fine with Vanellope. The crystal looked so pretty and she didn't want anyone to know or even stop it.
Then, with a pang of sadness, Vanellope remembered herself being bullied by the other racers. Even the creatures could not make her forget that. Vanellope opened up the book to the picture of the battle doll. It reminded her so much of her guardian.
"This doll." Vanellope whispered. "Please be my friend."
At Vanellope's words, the octopus creatures swirled around the book.
She watched as the luminescent light took its shape of a tall 190cm mechanical marionette doll next to her. The puppet doll was wearing a modest green bell-shaped dress covering her shoulders and neck. Her eyes are brown and have irises, making them more human-like. Her hands were sharp, hooked protrusions on the fingertips that can reach almost to her mechanical stick-like legs. And her ancient brown headdress has two brown rings to cover her hazel hair.
"Are you the one who called me here, child?" An tall mechanical marionette asked.
"Who are you?" Vanellope's asked with wonder in her voice.
"I am Anja." The marionette introduced.
"Anja, it's you!" Vanellope beamed. "You look just like battle doll in the book but it's really you!" Vanellope ran and buried her head in Anju's dress.
"That's because you made me real, my dear." Anju smiled. "But if you want me as your guardian, then I'll take care of you."
Above Vanellope, the octopus creatures continued to circle the mento sculpture and the crystal spread through every corner of the mountain.
Vanellope noticed something else. The crystal seemed to stop. In front of her eyes, everything turned to icy, smooth glass. The inside of the Diet Cola Mountain was turned into her crystal paradise.
Vanellope smiled. "Oh, Anju. Can you stay with me forever?"
"If that is what you want, I only want you to be happy." Anju said with a nod. She held out a pink peppermint crown brooch to Vanellope. "If you want to race, you must need this."
"What's this?" Vanellope asked.
"It's your Candy Brooch." Anju told Vanellope. "It'll help you transform into the best racer ever."
"Oh." Vanellope said. "I do wanna race with the other racers." She let out a frown. "But I don't know if I can."
"You can if you believe in your Candy Brooch." Anju said. "All you have to say is Candy Kart Power Up!"
"Really? That would be so great." Vanellope beamed. "I could just picture it." She held out the Candy Brooch in the air. "Candy Kart Power Up!"
The pink peppermint crown brooch begins to glow and Vanellope held it between her hands. After the mint green light faded, Vanellope was standing in the middle of the brooch and spins around as mint green ribbons wrap around her body, forming her a mint green and white jumpsuit. Then, she stretches her arms and brown ribbons form her brown racing gloves. Finally, a white ribbon wraps around her head to form her white helmet with a golden crown design onto it. Her raven black hair was wrapped up in a bun and is covered in sprinkles that are various shades of pink. Vanellope finished with her final pose with a wink.
"This is so exciting!" Vanellope exclaimed happily. She turned to Anju with a frown. "Anju, I don't even have a new kart yet."
"You must trust in your brooch you do." Anju nodded.
Vanellope closed her eyes and slightly touched her brooch with her fingertips. But not only Vanellope gets a new look, she got a new kart. It was odd looking vehicle composed of various frosting, sprinkles, and other sweets with no overriding theme. Despite the look of it, Vanellope let out a smile.
"Yes, I love it, Anju!" Vanellope grinned. She jumped on her new kart. "I want to win this race."
"It is done." Anju nodded as her solid body became transparent and sank up through the ceiling.
