Licortwist's Backstory

by TheDisneyFan365

In his backstory, Licortwist wasn't always a twisted, malicious villain. He was once a prince, a good person, and even a great friend. But this is how all good things ended for him. Note: All of the events in this story happened in Licortwist's 'programmed' memories, so the Sugar Rush game backstory is slightly different then how it actually is, and there's no Turbo.

11. Friendly Race

Chapter 11: Friendly Race

King Candy began with his speech about wishing luck to the Sugar Rush racers and such, bouncing around his stand, and throwing candy to the fans. Sour Bill was also there, having showed up just after Maltina was finished talking to Licortwist.

"Now, you all know the rules! Everyone, make a line and throw your golden coins in the pot!" King Candy instructed.

He lifted a golden coin and showed it in front of everyone. The Sugar Rush racers did as he said, each of them getting a spot in the race. Once they were done, all of them got into their karts, which they started up.

"READY!" the announcer said.

"You can do it, Candlehead!" Candella cheered from her stand.

"Leave them in the dust, Taffyta!" Malva yelled.

"SET!" the announcer said.

"Good luck, Crumbelina!" Zabaione called out excitedly.

"Do your best, kids!" Chocolatte cheered from her and Reese's spot, waving at Rancis and Creamy.

"GO!" the announcer shouted.

The karts took off and disappeared in the distance. Licortwist's eyes quickly fixed themselves on the large screen, which showed everything with clear detail. Vanellope was first and Taffyta was catching up with her. Behind them were Candlehead, Swizzle, Gloyd, Citrusella, Creamy, and so on.

Eventually, they reached Gumdrop Gorge. Licortwist watched how the Sugar Rush racers avoided the huge gumballs, but a few unlucky ones got hit by them, leaving their parents and candy citizens groaning and looking disappointed.

"CHERRY BOMB!" the announcer said.

Everyone suddenly saw Candlehead lighting up cherry bombs with the candles of her kart. Swizzle, who was nearby as the cherry bombs began to explode, made a movement at the last minute and used an item that he was storing.

"SUGAR RUSH!" the announcer said.

Swizzle's kart began to release sugar sprinkles and the speed rose considerably. He avoided the detonating cherry bombs and drove past Candlehead.

"Sometimes he comes with good tricks." Maltina explained.

Licortwist nodded and continued looking at the screen. After a few more minutes of traveling throughout the racetrack, the Sugar Rush racers had reached the Nougat cave of the Ice Cream Mountains. The candy citizens were going crazy around the parents.

"PRINCESS VANELLOPE IS STILL IS FIRST PLACE! AND THEY ARE GETTING CLOSER TO THE FINISH LINE!" the announcer said.

Four of the karts were approaching the finish line. Vanellope was still in 1st place and Taffyta was still in 2nd place. Swizzle was in 3rd place, with Snowanna, Adorabeezle, and Minty close behind.

"SWEET SEEKER!" the announcer said.

Everyone looked up and gasped. Rancis was approaching them with a seekers canyon. He fired the three seekers, which quickly reached Snowanna, Adorabeezle, and Minty and exploded, sending them flying behind.

"Snowanna!" Sundae shouted worriedly.

Mentha groaned and facepalmed while Yuki looked kind of disappointed, but also worried. Icy was clearly upset and nervous.

The racers finally reached the finish line.

"FIRST PLACE: PRINCESS VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ!" the announcer said.

The candy citizens cheered.

"SECOND PLACE: TAFFYTA MUTTONFUDGE!" the announcer said.

"Great job, Taffyta!" Malva cheered while the candy citizens beamed and whistled.

"THIRD PLACE: SWIZZLE MALARKEY!" the announcer.

Meiji raised a fist into the air.

"Way to go, Swizzle!" Meiji cheered.

It went on like that for ten more minutes, the announcer saying the places that each Sugar Rush racer got, the candy citizens cheering and not caring about if their Sugar Rush racer got last, King Candy doing another speech congratulating the Sugar Rush racers while Vanellope held her golden trophy, and such. Once everything was done, the candy citizens began to leave as the Sugar Rush racers ran towards their parents in the stands.

"Your the best, Taffyta!" Malva said.

"Great job out there!" Biscuit said.

"Are you hurt?" Icy asked in concern.

"You were amazing, Candlehead!" Candella said.

Licortwist watched everything from his spot in the popcorn stand. He saw how the Sugar Rush racers hugged their parents, and how the adults would lift them in their arms and kiss their children. He saw Vanellope being one of those kids. King Candy lifted her in the air, threw her up, and then caught her. Vanellope laughed all the way while Maltina held the gold trophy.

Licortwist felt strange. He felt sad and slightly angry at the same time. He thought about it and then concluded that he was jealous because it was the most reasonable explanation that he could think of. All of the kids that he just met could share happy moments with their family, but he would never have his parents again. He decided to look away to stop thinking about it.

"Thinking like this is wrong. King Candy and Maltina are trying to keep me happy and give me company. I shouldn't be so negative. I should be thankful for what I already have." Licortwist thought.

He decided to join everyone down at the track. Soon after, he, Vanellope, King Candy, and Maltina left after saying goodbye to the Sugar Rush racers and their parents.
