Torture Three – Jubileena

Unlike the other racers, why was poor little Jubileena thrown inside a cage?

For what reason, no one knew. Perhaps just to humor the princess who wanted to see her subjects suffer as much as possible. After all, this was HER revenge so she could play the controls whichever way she wanted.

The little cherry racer shivered in fear as she was carried through the dark and dank dungeon, feeling so isolated and scared after she had been separated from the others.

Where were they? She just wanted to see if they were okay.

But was SHE going to be okay?

"OUT!" the choco-banana guard growled as he rolled the cage onto the ground, the racer tumbling out of it. Quick as a wink, Jubi flipped herself up and made a run for the door but like the others, it was locked tight and there was no way she could escape. She didn't bother screaming, knowing that there was no one on the other side but she still clawed and kicked, hoping against hope that somehow she would bust her way out.

"Yeah, keep tryin' kid!" a large choco-banana said, laughing meanly "I'm sure you'll get out in 'bout a few DAYS or so!"

Jubileena turned around, a tear running down her cheeks. Even in the face of her tormenters, she tried to stay brave, if not for herself then for the others.

She was Jubileena Bing-Bing! Brightest and most upbeat racer on the track! There was no way she was going to let the sick thoughts of the kingdom bring her down.

That's what she at least told herself.

After receiving a painful slap in the face, she quickly began to rethink the idea. She sat on the ground, her hand on her cheek and tears in her eyes.

"C-C'mon, why are ya doin' this ta us?!" the girl said, a little anger in her voice "We never went this far with Vanellope!"

"It stacks up…" said a guard "Fifteen years is a long time ya know. So don't cha think that after a while, fifteen years of bullying would add up to somethin' like this?"

The girl growled again but another guard quickly moved in and scooped her off the ground, her arms and legs thrashing in the air.

"PUT ME DOWN YA BANANA BRAINED BRUTE!" she cried, her little pigtails swinging "Do ya really think I'm gonna let ya CANDY-HANDLE me like this?!"

The guard didn't feel at all threatened by the girl, knowing that as the stronger of those in the room Jubi wasn't going anywhere soon.

"Gotta lotta sass for someone so small…" the guard said as he then tied Jubileena down on a table, the girl still kicking "Let's see if you have that much ta say once we get through."

The cherry racer continued to kick in anger; she screamed, she cried, she clawed the table, but it was just no use.

She wasn't going ANYWHERE.

"Start the drill…"

DRILL?

*ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!*

Jubileena knew that sound…she knew it well from going with the others to the dentist, keeping them upbeat while the procedures went on. She herself never had a cavity in her life so what in the arcade was this contraption doing in front of her?

"Such pretty little teeth…" the first guard said "Vanellope said you had the best and brightest smile in all the kingdom…."

Jubileena began to sweat bullets, gulping "T-then tell her I said thank ya for that…."

"We have an even better idea…" the second guard said "Since Vanellope LOVES your teeth so much, she decided that she WANTED THEM."

Jubi went from bright pink to stone cold white, her teeth already aching from the thoughts.

"Yeeees, all of them…." Cackled a voice on the intercom "All of those teeth to decorate my palace. They are so bright and so white, like pearls….but stronger than pearls. It's a shame though that such teeth have to be wasted in a nasty little mouth like yours! But no more!"

Jubileena tightened her lips around her mouth but it did nothing to slow the actions of the guards, one of them roughly taking her chin.

"OPEN UP, BRAT!"

Jubileena kicked again, shaking her head no. If she was going down, she wasn't going to go down without a fight!

"I SAID OPEN UP!" the guard said, taking a sharp instrument and poking Jubi on the lips. She cried out from the poking but still refused to open wide, the drill inching closer and closer to her face, so close she could feel the air blowing against her eyelashes.

"Hey, get the straps!"

MORE straps?

A figure went over Jubileena, its large fingers prying open her mouths as painful and rust covered straps and muzzles went inside her maw, prying open her mouth. The cherry racer could only imagine how FRIGHTENING she looked in such a position but she didn't even want to think.

All she could think about was the drill and the beaming faces of her 'caring dentists' around her.

"Which one shall we start with first? Incisors, bicuspid, molar?"

"Or should we just bust them all out now?"

Tears began to form in Jubi's eyes as the metal continued to cut her lips and gums. She screamed, but it came out in an odd gurgle, spit frothing in her mouth.

"Wider! WIDER!"

She continued to scream, louder and louder, harder and harder!

*POP!*

All of a sudden, the drilling stopped. The guards looked around, seeing nothing.

"You hear that?"

The other shrugged.

Must have been something outside.

*POP!*

There it was again.

Jubi opened an eye, realizing that the popping sound was awfully close. Close…as in near her ears.

Still panting from the drill, she looked around, her entire body tingling all over.

*POP!*

There it was again.

*POP!* *POP!*

It sounded like corks going off around Jubi's ears but then….

Her ties?

The cherry hair ties.

They glowed, they shook, they POPPED!

"WHOAH!" shouted a guard, backing away as he watched the glowing mass of balls burning red hot "Back away guys! That's-!"

*BOOM!*

A larger explosion!

Jubi let out a struggled scream as she could feel the little orbs on her hair BURSTING off her person and onto the guards, covering them in what appeared to be burning hot cherry goo!

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH!" screamed the first guard, crying out in agony as the syrup covered him from head to toe.

"THE HECK IS THAT-?!"

The orbs grew larger, shooting off of Jubileena and onto her tormentors, the molten goo spraying everywhere. The guards all lay in a pile as they writhed in pain, the red mash smoking on the ground. Jubi looked up at the drill, the thing now slowly making its way down towards her but as she was still trapped, there was no way she could escape.

She shut her eyes, the drill only a mere inch from her when-!

*KABOOM!*

Another orb exploded on the drill, the syrup making its way into the inner workings of the device, gumming up the works and causing it to finally stop.

What had just happened?

Either way, Jubi didn't want to stay around to find out!

To her luck, some of the still hot syrup began to drip onto the leather straps that held her, burning through their hold. Her hands free, the racer reached up and freed herself from the mouth device. She hopped off the table and tumbled onto the floor, spitting out some of the blood that had formed in her mouth.

"W-Wow!" she panted, wiping her mouth "The heck was that?!"

She reached up, her hat falling off as she felt her hair bands. Somehow, they had reformed but as she moved her hands down.

"H-Hey!"

The orbs now levitated around her hands, her hair now billowing out.

What was happening? What were these things? She took another look at her hands, noticing a large red circle had formed on both the tops and palms.

The orbs, whatever they were…they seemed to be following her every movement, her every thought.

She had to test this.

She looked over towards a wall; a perfect target. She flicked her right hand, an orb sailing off towards the distance before landing with a large POW on the bricks, the hot syrup eating away at the surface like some sort of acid.

CHERRY ACID.

The girl looked at the spots, another orb instantly forming and replacing the one that had been thrown.

So she was producing the orbs…but why?

Why was this happening?

The girl sat on the floor of the cell, the guards half-eaten away by the cherry bombs that had been launched at them. Jubileena didn't know what to do or feel.

On one hand, she was scared. Scared out of her life.

She never intended to HURT the guards! She never wanted to hurt anyone!

But on the other….

She was alone in the cell, a few sounds off in the distance catching her attention.

Were those the other racers?

If she wanted to know, she was going to have to go and find out. She stood on her feet and ran towards the door. Placing an ear on the surface, she could hear the faint voices of others.

"Guys!"

She looked down at the rotating orbs, the things spreading out as more began to circle her hips and head, like some sort of halo.

One hand went out.

*Pop*

*Pop*

*BOOM!*

The door was blown away in a blast of hot syrup.

And one cherry racer made her way down the halls.
