When hunters become the prey
Here's the next chapter
I know this is a short chapter but I decided this race needed a chapter to itself but tomorrow's chapter will include the final 2 races of the fourth day
So Team 1 believes it was Team 2 who sabotaged their karts
How will they act in the races?
Will Minty and Sticky turn against Torvald
Or will they firmly believe their sister had no part in what happened

Ch.20 Misguided Revenge
(As usual where we left off)
Rancis, Swizzle, Crumbelina and Minty would all arrive as Sticky would wake up and look around.
"What happened? Where am I?"
"A Cherry Bomb was placed next to your engine….it went off and pretty much obliterated your kart and knocked you out cold…." Minty would sit beside her.
"What? Who did that?" Sticky would sit up her head still hurting.
"Someone from Team 2….they sabotaged all our karts to win…." Rancis would get a soda.
"What did they do to your karts?" Sticky would look at them shocked.
"Well they disconnected the wires in Minty's kart so she couldn't even start her kart until they were reconnected…they messed up Swizzle's gear shifter and put Taffy in his engine…..they loosened Rancis's right side tires and they came off during the race…and they cut my fucking brakes…." Crumbelina would respond as she sits down.
"And thanks to that Vanellope ended the race early and awarded them the top 5 spots so we're down 25 points…." Swizzle would add.
"That's not fair…..but Torvald didn't sabotage us…..did she?"
The 4 racers would exchange glances.
"Being honest…..we can't be sure….our karts were sabotaged during the night….and there were no guards around…..so it could have been just 1 of them….could've been 2, 3 or 4…..maybe all 5 of them….we just don't know Sticky…." Crumbelina would finally speak as Sticky would be in disbelief.
"Torvald wouldn't! She's one of the cleanest racer in the game! She wouldn't have let them sabotage our karts if she knew!"
Sticky would calm down after her short outburst.
"Besides Torvald seemed to be the only one on their team surprised when Sticky blew up, Rancis spun out, and Crumbelina's brakes failed…." Minty would come to Torvald's defense.
"So if she was the surprised…..maybe the rest of her Team did it without her knowing since they knew full well she wouldn't approve of it…" Swizzle would lean against a wall.
"So what's the game plan? Because we're down by 25 with 3 races to go today….." Sticky would look at her team.
"What we did on the first 2 days…..crush them…." Crumbelina would crack her knuckles.
"That sounds like a plan…." Swizzle would add.
(2 hours later)
The racers would wait at the starting line as Vanellope would speak through her microphone. "It is time for the second race of the day…..it's 1 lap of Frosty Rally…..and for the rest of the tournament power ups will not be used…..the races will be determined by skill…..Team 2 is up 25 points and if Team 1 falls any further behind I will reward the day to Team 2…..racers ready?"
The racers would nod and pull on her rope which would start the timer as most of Team 1 would glare coldly at Team 2.
"There seems to be quite the animosity right now….." Torvald would mutter as Sticky would look over at her.
"For obvious reasons sis….."
Torvald would look over at Sticky. "If it's about the carnage/shit show in last race I had no part of any of that…..that was not a clean nor deserved win trust me…."
"Yea we know it wasn't you Torvald…..just most of us think someone on your team did perhaps even the whole team….."
"Well I can see how this race is gonna go….." Torvald would mutter.
"Either way good luck sis…..your gonna need it…."
Torvald would sigh. "Trust me…..I know…."
The light would turn green as the horn sounds and the racers would take off Gloyd would look around nervously when he'd see Rancis infront of him, Swizzle riding on his bumper, Crumbelina on his left, Minty and Sticky on his right heading into turn one he'd gulp.
"Nervous Gloyd?" Crumbelina would glance over at him as they round the turn Torvald passing the group and into first.
"I'm not and why aren't any of you going for who's in first place?" Gloyd would get nervous as they'd box him in tight heading for the second turn.
"Because we want to know how that Cherry Bomb ended up in my kart…..and seeing how that is one of your go to items when pranking…..we thought you would know…." Sticky would answer with a glare.
"Well I don't know….it surprised me when I saw your kart blow up…." Gloyd would get nervous as he'd receive glares from all 5 of them.
"Oh really….it didn't show when you kept on driving away emotionless…." Minty would bump him.
"Hey just because I didn't react like Torvald doesn't mean I'm guilty!" Gloyd would try bumping his way out to no avail.
"It does to us….hope you like guardrail…."
They'd suddenly back off and going through turn 2 Swizzle would ram the back of Gloyd's kart sending him spiralling into the railing.
"That's one down….but the rest us while we were toying with him…." Crumbelina would look ahead and see the other 4 racers not to far head as they'd only catch up to Taffyta and Snowanna while going down the second straightaway.
"Hello ladies…." Rancis would appear between the 2 as Minty would get infront of Snowanna while Sticky would set up behind her.
"Common guys what happened last race wasn't our fault…." Snowanna would look over at Rancis as Crumbelina and Swizzle would position infront and behind of Taffyta aswell.
"That's a line none of us cross….dirty racing is one thing but Sabotaging is in a league of it'S own….only Turbo ever sabotaged another racer's kart…."
"Didn't seem that way since Taffy was found in my engine….." Swizzle would bump her kart forward and he'd continue. "Plus someone messed with my gear shifter plus they also put Taffy in that…."
"So mind explaining Taffyta?" Rancis would nudge her kart.
"I'm telling you the truth it wasn't us…."
They'd enter turn 5 and Rancis would ram the side of Taffyta'S kart sending her hard into the railing as he'd slowed down and would watch Sticky knock Snowanna of the track.
"We won't have trouble catching the last 2…..they both just messed up on turn 6…" He'd mutter.
Candlehead and Torvald would go down the fourth and final straightaway and would hear the engines of Team 1 getting close and fast.
"I'm not liking this Torvald!" Candlehead would look in her mirrors nervously and see them gaining fast.
"Just keep driving! That's all we can do! They seem determined to knock us out!" Torvald would shout over the roar of her own engine as Candlehead would see Crumbelina's kart pulling up on her left side through the corner of her eye.
"They're here!" She'd swerve away from Crumbelina as Torvald would see the line fast approaching.
"Just hang on Candlehead…."
"Not happening!" Crumbelina would shout as she smash into Candlehead back left tire and cause her to spin out as Torvald gulps seeing Minty and Sticky on her tail.
"I assume what was said before the race meant nothing?" She'd glance at Sticky who'd pull up beside her.
"No I truly meant it….but we just need the top 5 spots sis…." Sticky would glance over.
"Sorry but I kinda have too….." Torvald would reply putting her pedal to the metal as she and Sticky would drag race to the finish line.
Torvald would manage to pull a mere inch head to secure first place but would look at the Jumbotron and realize the damage had already been done.
1st Torvald 10 points
2nd Sticky 9 points
3rd Minty 8 points
4th Rancis 7 points
5th Swizzle 6 points
6th Crumbelina 5 points
7th Candlehead 4 points
8th Snowanna 3 points
9th Taffyta 2 points
10th Gloyd 1 point
Team 1: 50 points Team 2: 60 points
"Team 1 has reduced the deficit to 10 points! They gained 15 points in 1 race! I don't believe it!" Vanellope would be pleasantly surprised.
"Yesterday has you let us do the last race we would have won princess and this proves it!" Crumbelina would look up at Vanellope.
"I know your angry but I just didn't expect it…..tell you what…..if Team 2 fails to win by 15 points today…..you will win the tournament…."
Team 1 would grin as Team 2 would be dumbfounded.
"EXCUSE ME?!" Taffyta would shout.
"That's bending the rules there!" Gloyd would shout.
"That isn't fair!" Snowanna would shout.
Vanellope would raise her hand silencing them.
"I'm the princess I make the rules and can bend them as much as I damn well please….the next race will be Cakeway in an hour….and I mean it…..if Team 2 fails to win the day by 15 points….Team 1 will be declared the winners!"
She'd leave with her henchman as Team 2 would get in their karts and glance over at Team 1.
"Your going down…." Rancis would slide his finger across his throat.
"Your going to be choking on our dust…." Crumbelina would crack her knuckles.
"And it's not going to be pretty…" Swizzle would smirk as they'd watch Team 2 silently leave.
"We win…..Torvald gets punished….in a fate far worse then death…." Sticky would mutter as Minty would look over at her.
"I know sis…." She'd whisper to her as they both silently leave.
