Sugar Rush...
Panning over the candy game, we fly over a house made of chocolate as the sun rises over the horizon.
Rancis's House...
"Ok, today is going to be the day! 'he sits up from his bed with a gleeful smile and throws the cover off getting himself dressed and ready' I've been waiting for too long, I have to do it now! 'He puts on some chocolate cologne and walks out the front door' I'm going to ask Vanellope out!" He says shutting the door behind as he jumps in his kart starts up the engine and drives off to the horizon leaving sugar dust behind.
Chapter 3- This has to be a Dream!
Vanellope's Castle...
Today is a special day for this game there is a party going on at the castle. Today they're Celebrating the Anniversary of their game. Karts were parked by the front of the castle's gate as Characters and Civilians head inside hand in hand with each other talking amongst themselves. Rancis was one of the few that came late to the party he comes in fast and drifts his kart in front of the castle and parks next to Gloyd's kart. He jumps out and hurries in as he fixes himself up.
His friends were already waiting for him beside the colossal chocolate double doors. For a while they've been teasing him for being a loner, Gloyd has Taffyta and Malarkey has Minty Zaki. Rancis who was on his own for a while, today he was going to change that. Everything changed after that day of the Cybug attack, three weeks later everyone was all getting together and then Rancis days went slower and slower he had to change it.
"Hey YO! Rancis, where's your girl? oh, wait" Gloyd says with a smirk standing in front of him with his arms crossed.
"Screw you! Gloyd" Rancis says pushing him aside walking past him.
Gloyd doesn't do anything but smiles looking at Rancis as he walks away.
"you sure are a mean fellow," Swizzle says looking to Gloyd disappointed.
"Naw he knows I'm messing with him, anyways let's head inside," Gloyd says as he holds Taffyta by the hand and walks inside. Swizzle looks at Gloyd concerned then Minty comes by seeing him in a dream state, she snaps her fingers in front of him. He shakes his head waking up then looks at her and they both smile and look ahead.
"Gloyd seemed hurt," Minty says and looks at swizz
"Yeah...I saw it too.."
A few minutes later...
Past the front double door gates, everybody walked down on a big red carpet leading to the Grand Hall alongside it were guarded Oreo soldiers dressed nicely in suits and holding their spears. Sour Bill who stood at the end of the carpet, greeted the guests and led them into to the castle's Grand Hall. Everybody walked in and some gasp over the New addition to the castle it's a vast open space, on the right a long table with food and drinks at the far end is the DJ booth on top of a stage playing music and in the middle is a big dance floor the same one in Fix-It Felix penthouse but bigger the ceiling has a huge disco ball. Vanellope was dressed elegantly and beautiful in her princess dress and walks and leans onto the banister on the second floor overlooking the Grand Room at the far end. Everybody was conversating with each other, overlapping conversations filled the room and Vanellope smiles taking in a deep breath and walks down the wide set of stairs, her hand over on the rail as the over lifting her dress as she walks down. Then they all hear the fanfare and Sour Bill Clears his voice.
"Please welcome our rightful ruler, President Vanellope" Sour Bill says with a deep voice and with a joyful smile.
Vanellope walks slowly as everyone turns and sees her at the heading down as some were stunned and others clap for her as she goes up to a small podium. Rancis was at the back and tried to make his way to the front as he repeated himself with 'sorry' and 'pardon me' then pops out a tight spot he looks up and sees Vanellope as his heart skipped a beat feeling weak by how she looked. She greets everyone with a wave and gives a speech for the game and years to come. She also gave everyone a friendly reminder that after the attack of the Cybugs she strengthens the police so if anything, they might have a chance fighting chance to defend themselves. police have Helicopters, Tanks and skilled officers. Then she claps her hands twice.
"Alright enough of that! let the party begin" She says glitching out of her dress wearing her everyday outfit and lands on the dance floor.
Rancis straighten his collar and gulps.
"Now's my chance," Rancis says with determination.
But everyone cheered and raced to the dance floor. Vanellope disappeared into the crowd and he lost sight of her. He looks around frantically and walks into a sea of dancing kids. He gently pushes everyone out the way as he's searching for her then he felt someone tapping his shoulder and turns around seeing it's Swizzle.
"Hey, what you doing bro?" Swizzle says
"Um, I'm looking for Vanellope."
"Oh! well she's not here, 'points were food table is at' I saw here there she went to go get a drink"
"Thanks," Rancis says and heads to the table.
He stumbles out of the crowd and looks around the table. He sees Vanellope by the fruit punch bowl. He smiles and walks towards her but stops and turns back then turns around finding himself going back and forth then shook his head and took a deep breath and walked up to her and she notices him and waves.
"Hey butter fingers what's up," She says as she sets down her drink
"Oh nothing, just wanted to say this is a great party!" he says leaning on the table next to her.
"yea! thanks to Ralph and Felix they helped me out. I owe them though haha. you sure look professional Rancis, Real sharp!"
"haha well everyone here is, we're all wearing suits"
"he-he ook, yea but you look cute in it, I don't want to wear my dress."
"because you hate that spotlight on you?"
"yea, it's not my style of being a princess, me? you know I'm a rebel haha" She laughs and looks at him and smiles at him then he blushes.
"DO IT NOW! ITS YOUR CHANCE!" Rancis screams in his head felling like he was choking and hard to swallow.
"um Vanellope can I ask you something?"
"sure, go ahead" She says and takes a sip if her drink.
"um will uh' it becomes harder for him to breathe but he gulps his fear down and looks at her' Will you go out with me?" Rancis says looking into her eyes lending out his hand.
She looks at him puzzled. and takes a sip of her drink.
"I'm sorry Rancis but I'm not interested in dating now. That was it?" Vanellope says looking at him worried.
Rancis kept a straight happy face but deep inside his whole world fell apart and his body went numb trying to hold back tears.
"Yeah, I was just wondering that's all. I mean you're always busy, ahaha shucks at least I tried, can't say I didn't" Rancis says with a wink and a smile forcing himself to laugh.
"you sure?"
"Oh yea! definitely, well I'm going to go do something now haha I'll see you later." Rancis says walking backwards bumped into someone and laughs nervously then speed walks out waving at Vanellope then turns around then heads into the crowd
"bye Butter fingers, hmm I think I hurt him... 'someone from the crowd calls her and she turns around and sees Taffyta and sets her drink down' I'm coming" Vanellope says waving at him.
Outside The Castle... (A sad song plays {Linkin Park-Roads Iridescent]
Rancis was still forcing a smile till he gets out the castle and closes the door behind him. He walks slowly to his kart and hops on then drives away. As he drives down the path he shifts the gear to the max driving fast like a bullet as tears fly from his cheeks to the air like glitter in the sky as he bites his lips trying not to cry.
He followed the path leading to the candy cane forest going up a small hill getting deep into the forest. There he has this secret place he goes whenever he's feeling down and he kept replaying what she said to him. As the strong wind is blowing against his face he grips tighter on the steering wheel clenching his eyes shut holding back tears then he steps hard on the pedal going faster pushing his kart to the limit.
He gives up and opens his eyes and his tears come pouring down and his lips quivering as he took a deep breath.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rancis says screaming
As he near his favorite spot where its on top of the cliff by the far side of the forest over viewing the whole game. He parked next to a tree and got off his kart then headed slowly to the edge. He kept replaying her words and he got aggravated and teared and ripped of his suit revealing his racing outfit underneath. he throws his suit on the floor and stomps on it and kicks it aside seeing it flying down the cliff.
He sits on the edge of the cliff as his legs dangle and looks over the vast sea of chocolate before him and seeing the sunset through the screen of the arcade he looks up at the sky and sighs shutting his eyes.
"I wish this luck can change" Rancis says then slowly sobs silently hunched over hiding his face in his hands.
Then he notices a big blue light streaking across the sky and a small piece splits from the bigger one. The big light Disappears and fades away into the ocean but the small light kept going. Rancis narrowing his eyes at it, thinking it was a shooting star so he closes his eyes and wishes the same thing again. But he immediately opens them and knew there can't be any shooting stars in this game then, what the?
He looks back up at the star but sees something odd. The star curves in midair and heading straight towards Rancis who stood up slowly in shock seeing this but doesn't move at all. As the light was still coming at him, he looks at it with curiosity but then it got really near threw himself to the floor covering his head with his hands as it passes by and he sees it as it flies over him and then crashing deep into the forest. The whole floor shook followed by a sonic boom and Rancis flew back and found himself hanging onto the cliff's edge. The impact was big as trees all pointed away from the point of impact as thick mushroom cloud of smoke of chocolate dust rose up.
Rancis climb himself back up coughing from the dust and brushes himself off and then finds himself in a thick heavy cloud of chocolate covering the forest. It's hard to see through so he narrows his eyes trying to see but can't even spot his kart. Although curiosity got to him wondering what crashed he slowly walks ahead with caution into the cloud with his hand over his eyes trying to see ahead.
As dust began to settle slowly little by little he slowly gains vision of what happened. He kept walking ahead towards the point of impact then made it out the mist of chocolate he gasps at the sight and his eyes widen with shock and amazed.
Before him was this huge crater, acres apart big as a football stadium as fresh smoke coming out of it. Due from being recent it was hot and Rancis sees smoke scattered all over the crater but mainly the center. he narrows his eyes then sees someone unconscious down at the center of the crater but it was glitching violently as blue light sparks everywhere. Rancis jumps in and slides down the crater and hurries to the middle. He makes it and waves the smoke away and notices the familiar face seeing it glitch violently he steps back but that face triggered a memory. Then it hits him, remembering when he was attacked by Ryo then Josh came to help Rancis. He looks down at the glitching body and something tells him it's not Josh but he kneels next to him and tries to wake him up shaking him gently.
He starts glitching like crazy again and Rancis falls back then soon it stops and Jeffrey wakes up gasping holding his chest with one hand his whole body hurting from the fall then looks to his left and sees it a small boy sitting on the floor looking at him.
"What the hell happened? Who the hell are you!" Jeffrey says panting trying to catch his breath.
"First calm down take a breath, you were flying then crashed here." Rancis says slowly standing up and dusting himself off
"I was WHAT? flying? How can you say that with a straight face! what the- 'he looks around him and sees he's in a crater' well shit, 'looks back at Rancis' wait I know you!" He says narrowing his eyes at him.
"Yea I use you to race Natalya" Jeffrey says panicking and crawls away from him in fear.
"where am I?" Jeffrey says catching his breath
"You need to calm down! Or you're going to pass out, look you're in Sugar rush"
"I'm in what? the game? you're joking, seriously where am I?" Jeffrey says with a serious face.
"you don't believe me? this is sugar rush or did you forget?"
"forget? what? Tell me! I'm freaking out here screw it I'll ask around" Jeffrey says and stands up but felt a sharp pain on both his legs and falls down on his knees.
"Ahhh! DAMMIT!" Jeffrey yells in agony clenching onto his chest and tries to catch his breath again.
Rancis walks next to Jeffrey and places his arm over his shoulder.
"I'll help you out, but you seriously don't remember me Josh?" Rancis says as they both walk to the edge of the crater. then Jeffrey looks at Rancis confused
"Josh? I'm Jeffrey but thanks kid, say I didn't catch your name" Jeffrey says looking at him.
"the name's Rancis"
"Rancis, Fluggerbu-God I have to be dreaming"
"nope you're not this is all happening"
"You're not helpful kid!"
Rancis takes him out of the crater and slowly brings him close to the cliff for he can see. Rancis puts Jeffrey's arm down as the lost gamer opens his eyes wider as a breeze blows through him and looks all around him walks close to the edge seeing the sky with its strange yellow coloring seeing the sunset from a far and giant chocolate gum drops across the horizon the size of a mountain, the floor all pink made out of frosting. the whole place is toxic of candy and the ground with a variety of different flavors and colors with bushes of small gumballs. Behind him all the lollipop trees near the crater were all pointing away as some ripped off the ground and the floor ripped apart as if an earthquake had happened. Everything around him was made of candy and then Jeffrey looks down below seeing a sea of chocolate then at Rancis. He was stunned, puzzled and confused every bit of him in shock of how did this all happened, he was at a loss of words but then sighs and looks back at the chocolate sea. He kicks a small chocolate chunk off the cliff and watches it fall plunging down several feet into the chocolate sea.
"I'm-I'm inside a video game... how, how did this happen?"
"You don't know? ' Rancis looks back then at him' Who are you? you crashed here, I saw you crash here" Rancis stood waiting for and answer seeing Jeffrey still looking at the ground then looks up.
"I have to get out of here!' Jeffrey says shaking his head and facing the reality he's in' help me! dude I can't stay here forever my family…my mother, friends JESUS! Why did this happen! " Jeffrey says aggravated and depressed as he starts to walk back and forth.
"I think I know someone who can help 'Jeffrey stops and looks at him' but first you need to be in a hospital cause you look like you aren't going to make it on your own." Rancis says and Jeffrey nods to his idea.
Rancis helps Jeffrey to the kart, he hops in and Jeffrey sits down who groans in pain as Rancis starts up the kart. But looks over the cliff and sees Helicopter heading this way.
"Uh oh"
Ten Minutes Earlier….
Police station...
Top Tower...
Papa bear who was napping heard a distant explosion then sat up immediately waking up from his beauty sleep he sees a mysterious smoke rising up to the sky coming from deep in the forest. this caught him by surprise and became suspicious, He narrows his eyes and thought could mean trouble and then he picked up his binoculars and radio operator microphone and radio in to HQ.
"Control, this is papa bear over."
"I read you loud and clear papa bear what's your status."
"there seems to be a disturbance in sector 5, deep in the forest, there seems like a fire or something exploded, send someone to check it out" Papa bear says zooming in on the binoculars scanning the forest that is now all fogged up.
"copy that papa bear, will send a dispatch team to check it out. stand by"
Present...
Back with Jeffrey...
Rancis parks the Kart behind some candycane trees seeing the Helicopters pass over them then circling around the crater. They stayed there waiting for a moment but then Jeffrey broke the silence.
"Hey Rancis"
"Yea?"
"How's life here? living inside a video game"
"Uh ok, I guess you have to race every day."
"Ok? come on! give me some details"
"Well life here is like clockwork when the arcade opens, but when it closes we do whatever we want."
"Dude I just can't believe you guys are alive...it's trippy wow!" Jeffrey says while his hand slid down his face and shaking his head groaning still not believing in any of this for himself still thinking it's all a dream.
"Well today is the anniversary of Sugar Rush."
"what you guys celebrate the game's anniversary too?!"
"yea the day we got plugged in"
"That's great i guess" Jeffrey says to himself.
He then notices something coming from a distance and starts to look around. Rancis hears and they both look at the direction where the disturbance came from.
"what's wrong?"
"shhh, can you hear that?"
Rancis stays quiet and looks at the direction where Jeffrey is looking and sees red and blue light flashing off in the distance then a police truck drove down the road towards the crater.
"It's the Cops…you guys have cops? Really?! The hell you guys need cops for!" Jeffrey says looking at him shocked but Rancis pays no attention.
"Yea we do! wait a minute maybe they can help us" Rancis says with a smug on his face slowly turning to him
"No! don't! I don't want to be trapped in an Alice in wonderland prison, just hurry and get me out of here"
"ok then wait 'Rancis says getting a bit worried' let's check what they're going to do first."
Since then the dust has settled and they both noticed that they aren't far from the crater. both of them see a big glazed Donut and a Twinkie getting off their truck. Rancis starts the kart and drives slowly near them but behind a tree so they don't get caught.
"it's Wynchel and Duncan!" Rancis whispers to Jeffrey.
"who?"
"those two cops were the only police members we had but since a horrible accident happened, president Vanellope set up more police members and military' he gets a bit sad' she's the commander and chief also, whatever she says goes."
"president? look Rancis explain everything to me later but we got to get out of here before we get caught."
"Calm down we're not getting caught" Rancis says
Wynchel the donut takes a peek inside the crater and spots something.
"hey Duncan look! 'points at the middle of the crater while he fixes his belt' there's something shiny there!" He says and jumps in.
He walks to the middle and kneels down next to what he found. it's a metal necklace he picks it up and wipes off the cocoa dust off it and sees something inscribed on it saying 'hero' he then takes it to Duncan.
Wynchel walks next to his partner and shows him the evidence on what he found. Jeffrey from far away sees what the cop has in his hands and felt numb and pale. he places his hand gently over his neck and doesn't feel his necklace on him.
"oh my God...we have to get back my necklace fast." Jeffrey says biting his lip angrily but knowing the situation he's in.
"calm down, we can't go just like that!" Rancis says being reasonable, he wants to help out his new friend but there was nothing he could do. Then he remembers Vanellope, like a demon possessed him gripping his throat him thinking of how his life's sucks having no one and then gets rejected and everyone joke him being the loser. Slowly as flashback and thoughts keep fueling him with anger he gets a tighter grip on his steering wheel and looks at Jeffrey.
"I'm going to regret this but sit down and hold on!" Rancis says as he clutches the gas and breaks doing a burn out and turns and drives at the cops.
The burnout created a loud screeching sound catching Wynchel and Duncan's attention and they both turn to see someone coming at them from the forest. Duncan walks in front waving his hands in the air at the incoming kart signaling to stop. Rancis goes full throttle and Duncan jumps out the way then slows down enough to not kill the cop and hits Wynchel who jumped on the hood hitting his head on it going unconscious. Jeffrey hops off his seat onto the hood and grabs the necklace off the cop's hand and kicks him off the hood. Jeffrey sits back down and Rancis backs up and drives away but Duncan who jumped out the way runs to the side of the kart and jumps and hangs on the spoilers. The two notices this and Jeffrey climbs to the back and tries to get the cop off.
"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR ASSAULT ON A OFFICER, STOP YOUR VEHICLE NOW!" Duncan says hanging on to the speeding kart.
"NO! I'm going home and say anything! your ass will be digging your own fucking grave" Jeffrey says and kicks Duncan in the face making him to let go of the kart and rolls to the side of the road and looks ahead seeing the kart driving off into the horizon leaving dust on its trail. He stands up and hurries to his partner as he takes out his walkie talkie calling control.
"CONTROL DO YOU READ ME!"
"yes, we read you what's your status over"
"WE WERE UNDER ATTACK! THERE WAS SOMEONE AT THE CRASH"
"Repeat, you said someone is at the crash? what happened over"
"Wynchel has found evidence at the crash, 'he slid next to his partner who just started to wake up' He found something of a metal necklace or something then this kid actually two, came out of nowhere and tried to run us over! they knocked out Wynchel and took the evidence and now they're leaving the forest CALL EVERYONE WE NEED TO STOP THEM!" Duncan says panicking a bit but serious.
"Copy that! I'm sending all units to your position, stand by for further instruction Echo-39 will be with you shortly." Control says
"copy that! Duncan out!" He says as he looks down at his friend who was in a trance trying to wake up.
Back with Jeffrey...
the two drive down a hill at top speed getting out of the forest. Heading out, they make it to the highway outskirts of the city
"Dammit we're screwed, I have a really bad feeling about this, this is anything but sneaky but dam I never knew you had it in you to do that!" Jeffrey says surprised he also has gotten his strength back and feeling better.
Rancis doesn't say word being afraid of his actions he looks around and his eyes on the road.
"we got to get out of here! quick.!" Rancis says keeping a tight grip in the wheel keeping his eyes on the road his hands steady.
Then Jeffrey hears more sirens from behind then turns around and sees the police brought in reinforcements, they were all line up side to side with each other but there was more in the distance on approach. he squints his eyes and witness's what he saw and slowly becomes afraid and in shock then turns back looking at Rancis.
"THEY HAVE AN ATTACK CHOPPER!" Jeffrey says
The kart zooms down the road with five cop cars in pursuit with a hovering helicopter above. Then trucks hopped out of the forest into the highway and got behind Rancis by a few meters nudging him. Rancis shifts gear and rides faster, then Jeffrey notices someone in the chopper is holding a microphone.
"THIS IS THE S.R.P.D. STOP YOUR VEHICLE NOW AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" An Officer says leaning out the chopper with the side door open pointing the mic at them.
"I don't want to go to jail, IM TO YOUNG FOR THIS!" Rancis screams getting more afraid.
"get a grip of yourself Rancis' Jeffrey slaps him' Just try to lose them, look! 'Jeffrey points ahead' there's an exit into the city let's try and lose them there" Jeffrey says then tries to come up with the plan.
Rancis agrees shifts gear again and drives faster but one of the trucks nudge him from behind again and Jeffrey turns around mad and flips the bird at the truck driver.
"HOLD ON!" Rancis says as he does a sharp turn into the city and the truck behind try to follow but some flipped over same goes for the cop cars. they lost some of them who were chasing them but Jeffrey looks back and sees more cops with also three helicopters in pursuit going after them. They're all coming from nowhere with in the city. Rancis was coming down and intersection and shifts gear.
"HOLD ON TO SOMETHING!" Rancis yells and does another sharp turn and two trucks crash into a store.
up ahead there's a narrow alleyway for Rancis he took a chance and then smiles and stomps on the gas pedal hard as Jeffrey feels the speed. He goes full throttle and the cops try to ram him over again. Jeffrey looks back and Rancis makes it through the alleyway. The trucks all came to a stop but were too late and smashes into walls also Helicopter crashed into the building exploding into a million pieces. A candy cane weapon flew from the chopper on Jeffrey's lap. Rancis sees this and almost freaks out but cop cars went through followed by some motorcycles.
"THAT'S A GUN!"
Jeffrey picks it up and checks if it's loaded.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
"WE GOTTA DEFEND OURSELVES!"
"ARE YOU STUPID OR ARE YOU STUPID!" Rancis says shocked at what he's about to do.
"BOTH" Jeffrey says with a smile and aims at the cop motorcycle behind them and shoots its front tire.
The motorcycle swerved out of control and crashes into the other cop cars resulting a huge explosion as buildings began to collapse and cave in on itself. all the police that were on the alleyway chasing after the two got trapped under the debris. Rancis looks back and sees what Jeffrey has done.
"YOU CRAZY STU-" Rancis looks at him mad then looks up.
"SHUT UP! STEP ON IT! RUUN!" Jeffrey screams sees the debris about to crush them.
At the far end of the alleyway there's a ramp and below it the highway. Rancis goes full throttle getting a tight grip on the wheel as Jeffrey holds onto his seat and behind the destruction almost devoured the kart. Then kart rides over the ramp and flies in the air as the buildings behind collapsed and the smoke engulfed them for a moment and they flew out onto the highway as he lands and swerves left and right taking control of the kart.
Rancis keeps driving and they both look back.
"We freaking made it!" Rancis cheers and looks back on the road.
"I can't believe it! we survived 'A helicopter flies over them' GAWD DAMMIT!" Jeffrey screams
Rancis sees the highway leads them out of the city into the mountain area that leads a path to the big diet cola mountain, that's then when he remembers when Vanellope showed him the secret entrance he shook his head and griped his steering wheel. Behind them just kept getting worse moments later it looked like a whole fleet of trucks, cars, and helicopters pursuing them. Jeffrey sees this getting a bit out of hand but Rancis knows how to lose the cops and get into the mountain.
"HOLD ON! IMMA LOSE THEM!" Rancis says shifting his gear and revved his engine and goes full throttle. Jeffrey feels the kart going faster so He grabs the gun with a smile and nods at Rancis and points at the police.
"I'll do my best too!" Jeffrey says aiming down on the rifle and sprays at the helicopter and the motorcycles. the two cycles crashes to one on other and the helicopter slows down from being shot down. There were still more coming at them in waves then police trucks came near the kart and slid the side doors open revealing a Twinkie swat member aiming his rifle at Jeffrey.
"HOLY SHHHIII- 'The soldier opened fire as bullets fly past the kart and some ricocheted bullets bouncing off the kart and Rancis lowers his head.
"THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US! DO SOMETHING"
"I AM! SHUT THE HELL UP AND DRIVE" Jeffrey says checking his magazine clip and loads it back in the gun and fires back.
He shoots all the front tires of the truck who swerves left and right and lost control as it crashes into the closest car and trucks setting off a chain reaction. He sees them all swerving away and they all went down like dominoes. Cars, trucks and motorcycles exploded one by one. all the ground vehicles are taken care of and he aims up at the sky and shoots one of the drivers and the helicopter spins in the air and crashes down.
"THERE WE GO THAT'S HOWS ITS DONE!"
"WE GOT A PROBLEM!" Rancis says and Jeffrey looks at him
"what? 'Jeffrey turns around looks ahead and sees what Rancis was scared about and he gulps' God dammit! This is not the end." Jeffrey says aggravated.
"THEY HAVE A TANK!" Rancis yells
About a couple miles ahead a tank slowly rolls up to the middle of the highway and the long cannon slowly takes aim at them two.
Jeffrey sits down and takes the wheel from Rancis and steers him off the highway busting through the candy barrier and going off-road.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
"SAVING OUR ASSES!"
they both land perfectly on the ground and Jeffrey gives back the wheel and grabs the gun and look back. Rancis sees they're get nearer to the mountain and steps on it as Jeffrey turned back around taking aim.
"there, now get us out of here, I'll take care of the Helicopters" Jeffrey says but notices he's running low on ammo and it's only one magazine its halfway done.
He looks back up and knew had to makes them count, He aims pulling back the chamber and shoots at the helicopter but his bullets bounced off the Helicopters and now he's out of ammo. With a grunt of anger he throws the gun aside and sits back down. Rancis gets closer to the entrance but Jeffrey looks ahead then at him confused.
"are you crazy! we're gonna run into a wall."
"no, we're not! trust me like I trusted you"
That statement made Jeffrey shut up and looks back seeing the helicopters still gaining on them and turns backs around and holds onto his seat closing his eyes shut. Rancis goes full throttle narrowing his eyes and they made it through the glitched wall as two helicopters crash to the wall exploding to a million pieces shaking the mountain as pieces of Mentos fell on hot soda and the wreckage covered up the entrance. Rancis drifts to a stop near the bubbly spring of hot soda then hops out of his kart and walks in front of the spring. He falls to his knees and stars at the spring Jeffrey opens his eyes slowly looking side to side and sees they're inside the mountain. He relaxes a bit let's go of the seat and jumps out of the kart and walks next to Rancis who was staring at the spring feeling the heat.
"hey... thanks Rancis...good job back there for saving me"
"yea... don't mention it but hey I never got your name" Rancis says still looking ahead with an expressionless face
"oh, it's Jeffrey"
"oh, so I was right, 'He said to himself' ok Jeffrey now we have to wait for a few lay low for a while and I'll get you out of this game...you're a wanted man, so there's more out there when you leave. Including me..."
"I don't want to be in any game I just want to go home. I don't belong here!"
"well I can't help to get out of here, I don't know that! but I can take you out of this game. I got an idea, 'He stand up dusting himself off and looks at Jeffrey' go to this game called 'Tappers' he's the oldest one in here and knows a lot! ask him he might help you out"
"NO! no more game there's got to be a way I can leave!"
"im sorry dude that's the only thing I got, talk to him he sure can help oh! and one more thing, try not to die. 'Jeffrey tilts his head at him' if you die that's it! it sucks for you because you don't have a game of your own, try not to get caught by anyone too, plus one last thing you looks a lot like Josh so idk if that's an advantage or not but, he…well left a good and bad reputation."
"wow thanks, so WAIT! WAIIT! HOOLD UP! JOSH WAS HERE!"
"yea he used to be here"
"That son-of-a-bitch 'Jeffrey brushes his hair back' He knows every secret in this hellhole even sets the high score for every FUCKING GAME here and knows that games are alive, WHAT THE FUCK, SERIOUSLY" Jeffrey says getting more aggravated and angry walking close to Rancis who backs up slowly.
"you cursed a lot...…wow"
"SHUT UP!" Jeffrey says grinding his teeth and walks away but took in a deep breath and sighs and knows the situation he's in and rubs his eyes and throws his hands up.
"Ok fine screw it, I have to find this guy named Tapper, try not to get killed and stay hidden make not eye contact because I look like that 'gamer', great...sounds like an assassin's creed mission."
"what?"
"nothing"
"Ok? we got to wait for a few minutes"
"ok perfect now you can do some explaining, what event made this "princess" set up an army?" Jeffrey says looking at him serious.
Rancis sighs and sits back down looking at the spring and taps the ground beside him and Jeffrey walks up sitting down next to him.
Vanellope's castle...
She was alone outside the castle minding her business and notices explosions and gunfire. but no one else noticed this because of the music blasting inside having a good time. She looks above narrowing her eyes and gasp at the view the whole city look warzone and fire scattered everywhere. she felt afraid with fear taking over her body but she shakes her head and sees a police member from afar on a motorcycle coming. The police officer hops off and hurries to her and explains everything over what happened. she sighs relief thinking it was some Cybugs but then looks at the cops a bit angry.
"look! just try and find them both, the one who crashed is the culprit and the one who helped him"
"yes ma'am! well get you updated to any new information we get" The officer says saluting and hops back onto his motorcycle and drives away.
Vanellope looks back over the city seeing it half destroyed then she remembered something to fix all this. Ralph and Felix were the ones who helped her make this party in the first place plus they are here already in the kitchen. So, she hurries back into the castle and walks past her guest and heading to the kitchen. She opens the door and sees Felix with a stopwatch leaning over to the oven waiting for some food he made in the over and Ralph chowing down on pie they both noticed Vanellope as if caught at oncoming headlights.
"Oh, hi Vanellope what do you need?" Felix says setting down the stop watch.
"Felix, we have a problem"
"of the party? what's wrong?" Felix says worried
"no worse, 'Ralph looks up and stops eating and walks over wiping his mouth with his arm' there's something that crashed in the forest then next thing I know it nearly destroys the city."
Ralph and Felix eyes grew wide and look at each other concerned over the news then back at Vanellope. Ralph swallows the rest of the food in his mouth and cracks his knuckles Felix takes out his trusty golden hammer.
"Should we take everyone out first?" Felix says
"No no no no! 'both of them lower their guard' I don't want to ruin the celebration and it's not what you're thinking, it not a Cybug attack" Vannelope says with her hands up at them
"It's just the city, I just need Felix to go to fix it quick before my guest go worried and the party gets ruined. Ralph, you can go if you want I'll stay here at the party so no one leaves till you guys come back" Vanellope says and the two nod at her and left the castle.
Back with Jeffrey...
A few minutes have passed by and Jeffrey has gotten a little understanding of the situation. he can't die because he won't regenerate two try not to get caught or get in any more trouble lastly three look for this character by the name of 'Tapper' who knows a lot and maybe can help him. Rancis nods hearing Jeffrey repeat everything he said and they both hopped on the kart and exited the mountain on the other side. He drove him to the exit of the game where he sees a long arch rainbow road leading to the exit. At the base of the rainbow was a curved sign saying.
"Parting is such a sweet sorrow come back soon!" Jeffrey reads this and looks back at Rancis.
"thanks for everything" Jeffrey says giving him a hand shake then hops off the kart and Rancis nods and drives away.
Jeffrey sees him disappear off into the horizon leaving a trail of cocoa dust behind. Looking up at the bridge he then starts heading up the colorful rainbow road. when he reached the top, he looks back and sees the destruction he caused over viewing the massive wide-open world of Sugar Rush. He brushes his hair back and bites his bottom lip still in disbelief.
"this is just unbelievable, I messed up so hard!"
He turns around and walks further down into the tunnel. He then spots at the far end a platform with a candy themed train waiting. Surprised by this and still in awe he makes his way into the train boarding it and sitting down by a window. Looking out then turns slouches down with a sigh with his hands over his face. Seeing the events that happened he wishes deeply to go home and never felt home sick then he remembered about the necklace. He reaches deep in his pocket and pulls it out feeling the inscribe lettering then he puts it around his neck and felt better. He hears a ding and the train doors close and the train jolts a bit and begins to move slowly down the tracks as it picks up speed.
"What more surprises are waiting for me, I want this nightmare to end" He says rubbing his face and tilts his head back with a groan
Then he sits up straight as he hears the PA go off saying.
"Sugar rush Metro rail now arriving at outlet 5, Welcome to Game Central Station"
"Welcome to what?"
He notices the train then starts to slows down to a full stop the doors open followed by a ding. Jeffrey stands up and walks out the train and looks around cautiously as he exits the train. Seeing that no one is around he walks further down the tunnel seeing graffiti sprayed on the walls. It reminds him of his old home then kept walking further down. At the end of the tunnel there was a bright blinding light He took his arm over his head to cover his eyes from the brightness. When he makes it to the end his got accustom to the light he then lowers his arm as his eyes widen as his heart skipped a beat as all his hair stood up from the spectacular view.
"No way!" He says with such excitement in his voice as if his breath was taken away.
A pure golden room with all types of different and familiar video game characters walking around and talking amongst each other with overlapping conversations. Jeffrey walks further down and then hears a alarm goes off and it surprises Jeff making him step back and put on his hood. The surge protector comes out with a holographic clipboard as Jeffrey looks at him from under his hood.
"Step aside sir random security check, name?" asking looking down at his clip board. Jeffrey doesn't say a word just looking at him.
"Sir I need your name…" the surge protector looks up fixing his glasses then looks at Jeffrey who has the hood on and looks at him suspicious.
"May I ask you to please take off that hood SIR" Surge says and Jeffrey left with no choice slowly takes off the hood.
"JOSH!" Surge says then snaps his fingers and the clipboard disappears in thin air and walks up to him lending out his hand for a handshake.
"it's been a long-time Josh, glad you came back" Surge say with his hand out at Jeffrey. He looks at it and blinks shaking his head
"Um yea, it's great to be back 'Takes the surge's hand and shakes it' Im, just um back to visit a bit uh do you know where is tapper" Jeffrey says and fakes smile at him.
The surge protector looks at him puzzled and concerned then crosses his arms.
"What? why you acting all proper?" Surges says raising his suspicion on him
"Its how I am right?" Jeffrey says with a gulp and fakes smiles 'Josh was a dick? what!' Jeffrey says in his head then surge looks closely at Jeffrey.
"Who are you? I know Josh doesn't follow rules and doesn't care for me at all, He even knows this whole place like the back of his hand so I will ask again 'Surge leans closer' who are you and what were you doing in sugar rush?"
"um in sugar rush… 'Crap' he says to himself' I don't know I'm not originally from any game and I woke up in sugar rush."
"I can't take that as an excuse sir 'he fixes his glasses' what game are you originally from"
"I'm from no game, I don't know what the hell is going on I woke up in Sugar Rush and here I am and all I want to get out of here! Where's the exit?" Jeffrey says becoming annoyed
"Tell me where is Tapper so he can help me leave!"
"no I first need to know, what game are you from?"
"I'm from NO FREAKING game, I just told you that I don't even know how I got HERE!" Jeffrey says becoming angry and clenching his fist tight.
The surge protector stands in front of him. Jeff looks at him annoyed at the holographic character.
"What the hell are you even supposed to be?"
"I am the surge protector, keeping an eye out to all games that come and go, protecting any surges that occur or brown out or black outs."
"nice what a professional job who gives a shit!" Jeffrey says sarcastically
"Hey what your language boy! listen to me then! if you're not a character then you're another gamer and you're not supposed to be here. I'm sorry but you're gonna have to be terminated" Surge says grabbing on to Jeffrey's hand.
"wait you're saying that you're going to kill me!"
"well I don't like the word kill but yea you're gonna have to go, I can't risk someone telling our secret to the world." Surge says pulling him along.
Jeffrey pulls surge close and punches him in the stomach who coughs losing his breath and falls to the ground holding his stomach then Jeffrey grabs his face and shifts his whole weight onto his right arm and punches Surge in the face to the ground knocking him out. Many characters have witness this and stepped away from Jeffrey in fear for their lives. Jeffrey takes this as his chance and runs away he starts to sprint through the crowd of characters. He's pushing and shoving everyone out of his way as he tries to avoid bumping into them. he hears some comment behind him saying. 'careful!' or 'watch it!'
He keeps running till he bumped into something hard hit him. Jeffrey fell the ground hard landing on his back then he looks up rubbing his head and becomes star struck. The one who hit him was Sonic the hedgehog who accidentally trampled over him. Jeffrey got himself up off the ground quickly dust himself off but felt a sharp pain from his right arm but that was the least of his worries. He kept running and looking around trying to find the game called Tapper. Sonic sees who he hit and tries to help but he sees him running away and looks worried then zips in front of Jeffrey stopping him.
"hey there buddy! are you OK, what's the hurry?"
Jeffrey eyes widen seeing who's standing before him his eyes a world iconic figure standing before him asking for help. Jeffrey shock his head and didn't want to start a conversation and wanted to find Tapper.
"you're Sonic the Hedgehog! 'Jeffrey shakes his head in disbelief' look Sonic I'm in a hurry sorry but I got to go!" Jeffrey says holding his arm and pushes him out the way
"Hey bud!" Sonic says seeing Jeffrey disappearing to the crowd.
He keeps sprinting and goes in a random tunnel. The surge wakes up rubbing his head and turns to sees Jeffrey heading into the game 'hero's duty' He quickly stands shaking his head in concerned.
"there's another gamer...this cannot be good"
Back with Jeffrey...
He runs down the tunnel and looks behind seeing no one is after him and keeps going heading forward.
"I want to go home so bad, everything here is dangerous...'sighs' why isn't this nightmare over" Jeffrey says holding his right arm heading down the tunnel.
A train was waiting by the platform and the theme was futuristic and Jeffrey notices but doesn't care he went and boarded the train sitting down by a window. He sighs holding his arm and slowly becomes depressed slouching down covering his face. Jeffrey then noticed he wasn't alone on the train then a hero's duty soldier sitting by the far end stood up and made his way to him. Jeffrey heard steps coming near him knowing the sound of metal boots and looks up and sees a big buff soldier standing before him with his arms crossed then leans over. Jeffrey gets a bit intimidated by the size and appearance of this character leaning back against the seat looking at him mad. then he hears him chuckle then sees the soldier lean back and taps a button on the side of his helmet and the visor shoots back revealing the soldier's face.
"Calm down Josh it's me, Murkowski from hero's duty remember me?" He says taking off his helmet putting it under his arm.
"so, it is true...Josh 'The Gamer' use to be here, I can't believe it. 'Jeffrey says talking to himself then looks up at Murkowski' I'm sorry sir but I'm not the Josh you know, I'm someone else, my real name is Jeffrey." he says and looks up but notices Murkowski looking at him weird.
"Wait what? so, you're not Josh... then what game are you from?" He says and Jeffrey gets angry at the question.
"I'M FROM NO FUCKING GAME I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT HERE!" Jeffrey yells at him furiously then looks down.
Murkowski got a little shaken up seeing the reaction and language from this new gamer. He crosses his arms and sat down next to him and sees the kid's face going through mixed emotions and then the announcer from the train goes off saying.
"Thank you for ridding Hero's Duty Metro Rail now arriving at hero's duty"
The two look up at the PA Speaker then Jeffrey looks out the window as the high-speed shuttle comes to a full stop and the pop doors open. The two got up and walked out of the train. Jeffrey sees the whole place quiet, not a soul to be heard then Murkowski leads Jeffrey to the dark interior of the game which kind of looks familiar to him. Then takes a closer look, he finds out this is the place where the game starts then Murkowski calls him over and sees the Sergeant talking to one of her comrades at the far end of the hull. The soldier walks down the hull heading to the Sergeant with the door at the far end leading to the twisted terrain outside. Tamora finishes talking to Kohut who salutes to her and walks away then she turns to see Murkowski coming.
"Soldier what are you doing here" Calhoun says looking at Murkowski.
"I was coming by to train on my shooting but I found someone that you want to meet" Murkowski says and turns around but becomes shocked seeing Jeffrey isn't next to him. he looks all around panicking a bit.
Meanwhile, Jeffrey wondered around and found himself in front of a door and above it that reads 'Armory' he heads in and closes the door behind him then sees aisles of wide variety of weapons from tactical espionage to lethal machinery. Everything seemed dangerous as he kept walking around exploring then makes it to a closet with a sigh above it that says 'hover boards' he looks at it curiously tilting his head then opens it up taking out what seems like a backpack. He looks at it confused but notices a button below then goes ahead and presses it as it jumps out of his hand and transforms in midair and shaping into a hovering board levitating above the ground. He looks at it amazed jumps on the board and falls immediately, he sits up rubs the back of his head from pain then stands up and tries again. He jumps on the boards again and tries to maintain his balance and learns to keep it perfectly.
"just like the skateboard, it's easy" Jeffrey says then jumps off and it transforms back to a backpack as Jeffrey catches it in midair placing in on his back then walks out. He closes the door behind him and throws the backpack again transforming it into a hoverboard and hops on and goes for a ride.
Back with Murkowski...
"who? Murkowski, or you're playing with me soldier!"
"NO! I swear I'm not 'looks back at the sergeant' it's another ga-" Murkowski gets cut off as Calhoun pushes him down to the ground.
"GET DOWN!" Calhoun says as she sees someone on a hovering board fly over them flying onto to the world. She looks Back at Murkowski.
"who was that? Murkowski"
"that's who I wanted to show you it's another gamer"
"ARE YOU SERIO- KOHUT! bring me my cruiser NOW!" She says and Kohut runs at her with a rifle in one hand and the backpack in the other. He makes it to her and tosses over her own hover board She tosses it in the air as it transforms into the hovering board and she looks back at Murkowski.
"when I'm done here you and I are gonna talk" Calhoun says and zooms out of the hull into the world after Jeffrey.
"WHAT DID I DO WRONG MA'AM?" The soldier says and Kohut picks him up giving him a rifle.
"well cover her in here, set up a barricade private!" Kohut orders him as they run back into the base.
Meanwhile, Jeffrey flies around in circles then swirls from the bottom to the top of the tower then going straight up to the sky feeling the fresh air against his face as his hair dances in the wind. He does loops in the air feeling his heart beating free. He flies into the sky high then kick flips off the board and grabs it in midair and torpedoes down feeling the speed and pressure of the air against his face as his clothes and hair flap in the wind. Then he flips around and sets the board under his feet starting it up and does a big curve in midair flying upwards again. He looks back and sees someone chasing after him he smiles and looks ahead.
"looks like they want to race! Wait… oh shit! " Jeffrey says as zooms down spiraling around the tower with Tamora in pursuit.
She narrows her eyes at who is flying and blinks seeing who it is but something felt off and she always believes in her guts. Seeing a kid on the board that looked identical as Josh and Tamora zooms faster wanting some answers.
He makes it to the ground where a bridge connects to the tower to the base or crashed plane which is the exit of the game. Jeffrey goes all speed to the shuttle but sees two soldiers at the entrance holding big machine guns pointed at him. he sees this and goes full throttle at the soldiers to a point he became a blur to them. They open fire as Jeffrey dodges the bullets and passes by them with ease as the two stopped firing and look at each other thinking he disappeared in thin air then turn around and they see Jeffrey hovering right behind the with a grin on his face.
"good luck next time boys" Jeffrey says giving them a thumbs up then flies out of the game passes by the train into the Calhoun comes quick as she can to the shuttle and sees a barricade but it seems it didn't stop him.
"This kid is fast 'looks at her soldiers' where did he go!" Calhoun says hovering before them and they point at train out of the game then she steps on her board hard as she zooms down the cord.
Now back with Jeffrey.
"WOO HOO!" He says as he flies on his board speeding down the cord at top speed doing tricks and having fun. He laughs feeling free and starts to sing knowing he's bad at it but gave it his all.
"WOO, OH YEA! Rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go, got to FOLLOW MA RAINBOW, can't stick around have to keep moving on 'does a kick flip and spreads his arms felling the wind against him' must keep on moving ahead no time for guessing follow my pain instead 'does a back flip while riding and fist pumps the air' TAKE MY LEAD ILL SET YOU FREE, FOLLOW ME, SET ME FREE, TRUST ME AND WE WILL ESCAPE FROM THE CITY"
Game Central Station...
Ralph, Felix, and Vanellope came out of Sugar Rush to get to Tamora but then an alarm goes off as they left their game and they all get stopped by the surge protector.
"step aside sir random security check"
"aghh! You know what I'm getting real tired of you!" Ralph says getting a little annoyed
"Ralph calm down its quick, no need to rush" Felix says reassuring him
"Thanks Felix just doing my job, name?"
"Wreck it Ralph"
"do you bring anything this time?"
"Um nope"
"ok, oh and one more thing guys before you go"
"what?" Ralph responds for them
"Remember josh, well um there's another gamer loose in here"
"so, we heard" Ralph says not surprised
"yea he came from my game and caused havoc in the city, the army, and to my people too the police took and gathered pictures of him " Vanellope says
"You have an army?" Surge says raising an eyebrow
"Not the point!" Vanellope pouts
"we're here to pick up Calhoun to help us to find this other gamer" Felix says concerned
Back with Jeffrey he's getting closer to the tunnel but like he was playing around too much with the cruiser it starts to give up, the flame flickers as it slowly dies and Jeffrey notices that he's slowly descending.
"Uh oh! NO NO NO not like this, but I was having fun COME ON!" he says as he stomps on the back pedal of cruiser as he tries to keep it alive and then the flame goes out and he starts falling
"MOTHER FUUUU" Jeffrey says holding onto the board tightly.
Then just in seconds he was going to hit the floor he stomps hard on the cruiser again. He brought it back alive but as he was spiraling down and the hover craft went full power making Jeffrey do like a Sharp dive turn landing on his stomach on top of the flying board. He passes the train platform and through the tunnel into Game Central Station where he's swerving side to side dodging the characters who were walking around the station.
"GET OUT THE WAY!"
Jeffrey tries his best to slow down the hover board. he punches it hard and it worked but the momentum kept him going the it skids on the floor leaving a trail of sparks and he hangs on tight. Then the board flips up launching Jeffrey in the air.
Ralph, Vanellope, and Felix with the Surge protector sees a flying board coming at them and a falling Jeffrey in tow.
"what the...?" Surge protector says fixing his glasses but Ralph was the first one to notice.
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN!" Ralph yells and everyone jumps out of the way.
Jeffrey flies over them and crashes at the middle of the station. the broken cruiser then flies up to the ceiling and explodes into a million small pieces as some of the debris hit a few characters and an unconscious Jeffrey but no one got hurt. Ralph gets up and dust himself off then helps up Vanellope and Felix.
"You guys ok?"
"Yea! Thanks Ralph" Vanellope replies and Felix nods.
the two get close to Jeffrey and they notice Calhoun coming out of the tunnel of her game also and flies next to her friends.
"Hey Wreck-it, Vanellope, ' tosses up the board and transforms to a backpack grabbing it in midair and she kneels down next to her husband' hey fix it 'and kisses him' and they all walk up to Jeffrey who is still breathing. He struggles to stand back up and looks above him and see a big guy with huge hands, a little girl with candy all over her, a small man with a blue carpenter outfit with a golden hammer and next to him a tall blonde lady with an angry expression. Wreck it Ralph leans over to Jeffrey.
"kid you're in big trouble, we're gonna have a long talk" Ralph says with his arms crossed and a concerned expression.
Jeffrey struggles to look up and see all their angry expressions
"Son of a…" He says weakly under his breath then gives up and passes out.
End of Chapter 3...
(Jeffrey wakes up next to a group of angry characters. he'll then later do what he needed to do first, talk to Tapper, he'll then understand he's situation more clearly accept the reality and figure out a way to escape. but there are old enemy's lurking around seeking for revenge) (The good guy never sees the happy ending…) Im begging you to please review my story :(
