VickyT36: They're just being transported back to headquarters.
AlecReyes19: Me neither, and I wrote it!
A-Plus Cassiopeia:…
Anyways, on with the story.
The Sugar Rush Racers and the Nightmare Racers all transported back into the Jedi Temple, where Anacin and a Nightmare version of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda awaited them.
Penelope was groaning, humiliated at having lost the first round.
"Lost the battle, you did," Nightmare Yoda mused, as if reading her mind. "Disappointed, you are."
"No need to dwell on it, Grand Master Yoga," Penelope said uneasily. "It was a lucky victory, that's all. We pretty much eradicated her whole team, and it was only with her glitch that she managed to barely get the best of us. We had her impaled and all, and she could barely move…"
"Violence, victory it brings not," Yoga taught, making Penelope roll her eyes. "Strategy, thoughtfulness, powerful those are. Focus on those you must."
"Enough with the lousy morals!" Tabitha interrupted. "Let's get on with the dodge ball match, I really want to get on with that one!"
"Yeah, it's my favourite tournament!" Swiss shouted. "Let the game begin!"
Yoga sighed and turned to Nightmare Obi-Wan. "Ben, show them where the tournament is being held," He commanded. Ben Kenobi nodded and turned to the racers.
"Dodge ball is being held on Geonosis, the desert planet," He explained. "It's pretty much just desert, so it's rather simple. You'll play dodge ball there until the Nightmares win."
Vanellope, who had been quiet throughout the whole conversation, spoke up. "What do you mean, 'until the Nightmares win'?" She asked angrily.
"Um…" Ben said but didn't finish.
"Hey, my subjects beat Penelope's fair and square in the capture the flag match," Vanellope pointed out. "And that round was hell! I think we can handle throwing a few rubber balls!"
"If you insist," Ben Kenobi said before clicking a button on his wrist. With that, the racers all began to vanish.
"We'll whoop those Sugary Racers, just you watch!" Penelope exclaimed before disappearing too, until only Anacin, Yoga, and Ben remained.
Yoga sighed. "Change her ways, Penelope must," He said. "Find peace, she thus will."
"Dude, I have no idea what you are saying," Anacin bluntly replied with folded arms.
Vanellope and the Sugar Rush Racers all teleported onto a red, sandy desert area. Vanellope was the first to get to her feet, and looked around at the barren landscape.
"Sweet mother of monkey milk, this place looks AWFUL!" Vanellope commented distastefully. "Who would want to be HERE?"
"Ow ow, this sand burns!" Rancis shouted, jumping about on his toes. "How are we going to walk around here!"
"Hey, this is dodge ball, do you think things are going to be easy for us?" Swizzle asked. "We have to do this to prove to those losers that we aren't inferior to them!"
"Yeah!" Vanellope agreed, but as she glanced around, she added, "Wait, where are the dodge balls?"
Suddenly, a giant blue missile fired several kilometres away landed in the centre of the racers, unleashing a massive explosion that sent the racers flying in all directions. Vanellope glitches away before she was seriously harmed and landed on a sand dune.
"What was that?!" She shouted. It was then that she noticed the Nightmares far off in the distance. Jubilee, Kendall, and Mindy manned a massive All Terrain-Tactical Enforcer, which stomped towards the disoriented Sugar Rush Racers.
Mindy, who was piloting the main cannon, fired a shot at the majority of the Sugar Rush Racers. Minty, Sticky and Torvald were all evaporated by the blast.
Penelope, who was leading the Nightmares, aimed at the remaining Sugar Rush Racers and shouted, "CHARGE!" Instantly, the Nightmares advanced en masse towards the defenceless Sugar Rush Racers, blasters in hand.
"I thought this was dodge ball!" Vanellope cried as she struggled to dodge the lasers fired at her from the Nightmares.
"It is," Ben's voice echoed out of nowhere. "You dodge the laser balls fired at you."
Another cannon fire sent Vanellope flying several feet. "You really need to rename your activities!" Vanellope shouted out as soon as she hit the ground.
"It's not much fun that way," Ben replied before transmitting ended.
Vanellope noticed a pile of blasters lying next to the Sugar Rush Racers, who hadn't seen them because they were distracted trying to dodge all the laser being fired at them. "Go, get the guns!" Vanellope ordered, and the racers galloped towards the weapons. Mindy, however, anticipate this and fired another blast at the gun pile. Just as the racers reached the guns, the blast struck the guns and burst them all into flames, taking several unfortunate racers with them.
"What the cherry bombs!" Jubilee cried as she was set on fire and burned to a crisp.
"Not fair!" Vanellope shouted. However, she realized she had to improvise if they were to win. Glitching towards the Nightmares, she snatched a gun from Kendall and knocked her over. "Shoot her!" Penelope ordered, but Vanellope was too quick. She glitches away and began firing at the Nightmares, shooting Francis, Vicky, and Joanna. However, the Sugar Rush Racers were still outnumbered.
"Wait, we don't have any weapons yet!" Rancis cried out in a futile attempt to gain mercy. Instead, Penelope shot him in the chest. Gasping, Rancis collapsed on the ground. Penelope ran towards him and began shooting him repeatedly until he vanished away.
"Dude, that's a bit overkill!" Peterbelly pointed out. "Who cares!" Penelope shouted. "This is a war, and we have to win!"
"I know but-" Peterbelly was cut off when a Sweet Seeker was fired and landed near. Peterbelly couldn't get out of the way in time and he was caught in the explosion, along with Kendall, Cymbeline, and Ella.
Penelope stood in shock as Peterbelly vanished right in front of her. She then turned towards the source of the Sweet Seeker and saw Swizzle riding his Tongue Twister, firing Sweet Seekers at the Nightmares and gaining the upper hand for the Sugar Rush Racers.
Penelope growled at Swizzle and ran towards him, blaster in hand. Picking up the blaster of Kendall, she charged at Swizzle, firing wildly at him. Despite Swizzle's efforts, he failed to gun down Penelope as she sped towards him.
As Penelope shot down several Sugar Rush Racers, she pounced on Swizzle and shot him point-black in the face, causing him to vanish. Taking control of the Tongue Twister, she began firing at the Sugar Rush Racers, obliterating them all.
Vanellope watched in shock as her subjects were eradicated. Then, before she could respond, Tabitha shot her in the back with a blaster. "Game over, glitch," She growled as Vanellope collapsed and vanished.
The moment all the Sugar Rush Racers had vanished, Penelope rode up in the Tongue Twister. "Well, that takes care of them," She complimented victoriously. "Good to know we won THIS round."
The Nightmares giggled mischievously as they began to be teleported back to the Jedi Temple.
The moment they were all in the temple, Penelope jumped up in down in front of Anacin. "Yippee, we won this time!" She shouted at the Jedi. "And you Jedi said that violence doesn't bring victory. Well, it just did!"
Begrudgingly, all three Jedi nodded. At the same time, the Sugar Rush Racers stood next to the Nightmares, struggling to recover from their loss.
"That hurt way more than it should have," Rancis said, groaning from having been shot repeatedly. "So, what do we have next?"
"Battleship," Yoga revealed.
"Oh, goodie," Vanellope said sarcastically, stretching herself and rolling her eyes.
Ralph pushed past several marines in Hero's Duty as he lumbered towards the tower to find Felix and Calhoun. Ever since the two had married, Felix had spent more time in Hero's Duty to be with his wife.
All Ralph could think of was how weird Vanellope had been acting at the penthouse, and he knew he couldn't just ignore it. And of course, he was going to get some help before going to find out what the problem was.
"Hey! Sorry, didn't mean to. Watch it!" Ralph shouted as he shoved through the crowd of marines until he reached the tower. Pushing through the gates, Ralph lumbered quickly through the hallways until he found the room where Calhoun stayed.
Ralph immediately pushed the door open. "Hey, Felix, we have a…whoa!" He shouted in surprise when he saw Felix on top of Calhoun under the bed.
"Oh honey, you're so-" Felix was saying until he noticed Ralph. Screaming in shock, the two pulled the bed covers over them and Calhoun grabbed a machine gun off the wall.
"What in Hologram's name are you doing here!" Calhoun shouted as she aimed the machine gun at Ralph, who backed away a bit.
"Um, I have a problem," Ralph started. "What, is it that you don't know how to knock!" Calhoun asked, the machine gun still raised at Ralph. Felix, however, gently pushed the gun down.
"What were you saying, Ralph?" Felix asked, still recovering from his initial shock.
"Vanellope came to me earlier, and she was acting all weird and stuff," Ralph explained. "She mentioned gray people or something and asked if I knew anything about them. And then she just left when I started asking questions."
"Oh my land, you think this has to do with Turbo?" Felix asked.
"Uh, Vanellope said no, but I think we should check on her," Ralph said. "I have a feeling she's in serious trouble."
"In that case, let's get going!" Felix exclaimed. He was about to get out from the covers, but Ralph quickly said, "Uh, put some clothes on first, though."
Felix and even Calhoun blushed. "Yeah, let's do that, too," Felix muttered, embarrassed.
