Chapter 20: Ways Of Magical Arts

"Location: Litwak's Arcade, The World Of Disney, March 9th 2109"

A few minutes later, the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe left Bikini Bottom and returned to the arcade. They went to Sorceress's castle in Castle Quest, where Toxika handed the scroll back to Sorceress in her throne room.

"We found your scroll." Toxika said.

"That's great, Sylvia. It would be dreadful if this scroll got into the hands of someone evil." Sorceress said as she grabbed the scroll.

"Actually... it did get into the hands of someone evil." Crepe admitted uneasily.

"She's right. Someone used a resurrection spell from the scroll to bring back an evil phantom. But it instead brought back a dramatically altered version of him that's even worse." Vanellope explained.

"The Resurrection Spell, huh? If that spell was used on a phantom like you said, then that's where it must have gone wrong. You see, that spell is only for human resurrection." Sorceress explained.

"Human resurrection?" Gloyd asked.

"Of course. If it's used to bring back any other being, it could have some serious side effects. You may not get who it was that you were trying to bring back." Sorceress replied.

"You mean they look like a zombie?" Candlehead asked.

"Yeah, I guess it's something like that. I wouldn't know since that spell is the darkest and most dangerous spell in the scroll. You would have to be pure evil to conjure it." Sorceress replied.

"I guess that's why Jubilee decided to conjure it." Swizzle said dully.

"Is there any spell that can reverse it?" Jubileena asked.

"We need it to kill that fake Dan Phantom she brought back." Minty added.

"Re-kill him to be more accurate." Adorabeezle corrected.

Sorceress frowned and scratched the back of her head.

"Sorry, guys... but unfortunately, there is no spell to counter it." Sorceress replied.

"What?" the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe asked in shock.

"But there has to be!" Citrusella said.

"If we don't stop that Dan, it'll be the end for all of us!" Torvald said.

Vanellope turned to Sorceress.

"Are you sure that there isn't anything that can undo that Resurrection Spell?" Vanellope asked.

"I'm pretty sure. However, I once heard that if a spell goes wrong, it is reversible." Sorceress replied.

The Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe ceased their depressed actions and turned their heads to Sorceress.

"There is?" Candace asked hopefully.

"The spell went wrong for Jubilee, which is why Dan came back as an evil zombie. So, the spell can be reversed, right?" Damon asked.

Sorceress smiled.

"That's right." Sorceress replied.

"Well, tell us how." Candlehead demanded eagerly.

"The secret is that although he was brought back, because he wasn't a human that was resurrected, his body isn't quite stable. So once he's weakened, you must recite this incantation and then he'll disappear." Sorceress explained.

Sorceress then whispered the chant into Vanellope's ear while the others tried to get close enough to hear. While they listened, Swizzle raised an eyebrow and got an odd look, followed by the others except Vanellope. Once Sorceress was done, Vanellope got a strange look.

"Okay, that sounds simple enough." Vanellope said, feeling a bit unsure.

"But to weaken Dan? Swizzle could barely finish him off on his own. He'll be back on his feet before we can finish the first verse." Candi asked in uncertainty.

"Candi's got a point. With the way he is now, beating him will be even tougher." Swizzle said.

Candlehead sadly lowered her head.

"We'll be dead." Candlehead said.

"If he kicks our butts before we can stop him, it'll be the end for everyone even if we have the reverse spell." Damon mentioned sadly.

While the others were sadly conversing, Adorabeezle was in deep thought, which went unnoticed by everyone.

"We're just not strong enough. I mean, we've taken on challenges as tough as this, but with the way things are going on now, we'll need a miracle if we're ever going to stop Dan 2." Snowanna admitted shamefully.

"Your right, Snowanna. We're going to need a lot more then what we already have to stop this, and I know what." Adorabeezle said in a straight tone.

Adorabeezle then began to leave without another word as the others stared in confusion.

"Beezle?" Nougetsia asked.

Adorabeezle didn't respond, and she left the throne room. The other Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe followed her out into a hallway.

"What's your problem?" Minty asked.

"Yeah. If you have a plan, you have to let us in on it." Crepe said with a raised eyebrow.

"I do have a plan. But unfortunately, I'll need to reveal it once we reach Sugar Rush and confront Death Phantom." Adorabeezle said.

That name earned her odd stares from her friends.

"Well, it's better then Deceased Phantom." Adorabeezle said.

Candlehead groaned in disappointment.

"But, Adorabeezle, what are we going to do once we get there?" Candlehead asked.

"You'll just have to trust me on this." Adorabeezle replied.

Nougetsia placed her hand on Adorabeezle's shoulder.

"We do trust you, sis. If you think that this is the right thing to do, we'll stand by you all the way." Nougetsia said.

The others nodded in agreement, and Adorabeezle smiled.

"Thanks, guys. Now let's head over to Sugar Rush." Adorabeezle said.

Rancis suddenly got a worried look.

"But, what if we're too late?" Rancis asked.

"Don't worry. I'm sure everything's okay so far." Adorabeezle replied.

After arriving in Sugar Rush, the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe stood in front of a section of Sugar Town that had already been destroyed by Death Phantom. Everyone look at Adorabeezle and glared at her. The Ice Pop themed girl turned her head, looking shameful.

"Well... at least we made it." Adorabeezle said nervously.

Nougetsia looked away in horror.

"We're already too late. I knew we should have come here first." Nougetsia said.

Suddenly, they heard a loud boom, and they looked ahead to see an explosion come from afar.

"He's still out there." Minty said.

Vanellope nodded.

"Your right, Minty. If we were really too late, he wouldn't still be demolishing the town, which means that we still have a chance to save everyone." Vanellope said.

Swizzle scowled.

"Well, in that case, I'm going after him." Swizzle said.

"Swizzle, wait!" Jubileena shouted.

But Swizzle had already flown off. Jubileena turned to the other Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe.

"Let's go after him." Jubileena said.

Jubileena ran off as fast as she could after Swizzle, while the other Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe followed her.
