Vanellope felt her body twist and turn as they flew through the light, she refused to let go of Marshmallow's hand as their bodies beat against the sides of the portal and flung them up and around. Eventually the light broke and Vanellope found herself standing on the Sugar Rush Speedway, the sky was dark and everything looked cracked and horrific looking. "This is my own personal Sugar Rush Speedway…" Nelly said as she stood next to Turbo's kart, her face looked like her own again and Vanellope wondered where Turbo had gone to before the being stepped out from behind Nelly and smiled evilly at her.

The two must have separated themselves just for this particular race although it didn't matter to Vanellope whether they were together or not, she intended on defeating them regardless. "This Speedway is like a graveyard kind of the normal Sugar Rush Speedway, but don't worry its not very different." Nelly laughed and got into Turbo's kart, behind Turbo who was already seating himself.

Vanellope looked down at Marsh who nodded and turned to find their kart, immediately Vanellope's kart arrived as if she had called it there to assist her. It was just as she remembered it to the very fine details of Vanellope and Taffyta's names on the side. Vanellope rubbed her hand over the names as she got into her kart, Marshmallow behind her. "The rules are simple, one lap around, first one at the finish wins." Nelly stated and Turbo clicked the engine on. The two heroes wanted to argue about the one lap, but upon seeing the demon track they realized it may as well be one as it was surprisingly very long. Vanellope clicked on her kart but turned as she heard a large revving noise behind her.

As she turned, Vanellope gasped as she was met with several other racers all in their karts and ready to race. Ran, Snowana, Rainbeu, Mark, Swizzle, Gloyd, and everyone else from Sugar Rush was there preparing for the race in their karts, even some of the Oreo guards were behind their makeshift karts. "You cheater!" Marshmallow yelled and pointed at Nelly, "This wasn't in the agreement!". Nelly turned and looked back at the two; "I never said there would be other racers in other karts racing us as well?" she said innocently and turned back towards the track.

Vanellope grabbed the wheel as hard as she could, not wanting to be discouraged from the size of the enemy right now. "Get ready, Marsh.." she said as she started the engine and pulled the kart up towards Nelly and Turbo's, waiting for the start of the race. Marshmallow lowered himself into the seat and prepared himself for the race, the race that would either save Sugar Rush or destroy it. They had to defeat Nelly and Turbo, it was there last chance.

The engines all roared alive as the timer started to sink down from ten. Vanellope remembered her friends all counting on her, the ones behind her that were being corrupted and the ones back in Sugar Rush that were fighting for her. Taffyta was waiting for her back at the castle, Vanellope couldn't lose. As long as Vanellope had them in her heart, she knew she wouldn't.

Five, four, three, two, one….before Vanellope could even process hitting the gas, Turbo and Nelly shot off and were already a good distance away. Vanellope hit the gas and sped off towards them, leaving the other racers behind and trying to catch up to the evil crew. "Vanellope I can't even see them anymore!" Marshmallow cried, trying to eye the two ahead of them. Vaguely they could see the kart, but as they tried to speed they realized they weren't gaining any track on them.

"We're going to lose!" Vanellope thought and hit the gas all the way down, still not gaining a single foot ahead. To make matters worse the other racers were gaining on them fast, hitting them with their karts as they sped by. Vanellope twisted her kart, trying to avoid the blows, but evidently just had to let them continue to beat at her precious kart destroying it piece by piece.

Marshmallow sunk low beneath the seat as he felt the kart being rammed once more and could hear a tire popping. "Vanellope, please!" he cried and looked up to her with pleading eyes. Vanellope clutched the steering wheel and started to glitch, frustrated with the attacks. As she did she realized how her glitching could be beneficial, she realized she could use it to get her ahead or at least to get away from this trial of the track. Focusing hard on her power, she allowed it to flow completely through her and glitch through her kart.

At first she was only able to avoid some small attacks from the other racers, but soon she found herself shooting forward and away from the racers at lightning speed. Some of the racers zoomed ahead, trying to catch up to her, but quickly fell behind as Vanellope's glitching couldn't be matched with their regular racing speed.

When Vanellope could no longer see anyone ahead nor behind her, she ceased her glitching and relaxed her muscles a bit and just driving. "Vanellope..how are we going to catch up?" Marshmallow asked, looking down to the tire which was ripping apart. Normally in any other racing situation, Vanellope's kart would have just regenerated. But she figured with this graveyard Sugar Rush Speedway that they weren't going to allow her that decency.

"Dang it.." Vanellope said, trying to continue her speed, but failing as the kart started to slow because of the broken tire. She felt the weight of everyone's disappointment upon her shoulders; Taffytas, her friends, the whole entire Sugar Rush community, and even the arcade. She was losing to not only her villain Nelly but the arcades villain Turbo. "I won't allow myself to lose, I promised this to my friend.." she thought and closed her eyes as she drove. "Please, I need a new kart…I can do this, I just need this chance!".

At first, nothing happened and Vanellope was worried that her wishes had been ungranted and that she would indeed lose to the tyrants. But then her kart began to glow and Vanellope felt the cold, metal feeling she had felt before when she was driving Turbo's kart. When she opened her eyes she looked down to see that she was indeed inside Turbo's kart now, driving at an amazing speed. Marshmallow looked amazed at what had just happened and eyed the bright machine up and down, "How..did this happen?" he cried.

Vanellope hit the gas, hard, gaining even more inhuman speed. "Because we needed it..and it came just in time." She stated, zooming down the track and leading up towards a now annoyed looking Turbo and Nelly riding in Vanellope's broken kart. They were still going at an amazing speed, due to Turbo's amazing kart driving skills, but were not doing as well as Vanellope and Marshmallow. "Give me back my kart!" Nelly hollered and held her hand out to the kart, calling upon it with her mind. But the kart refused to leave Vanellope's side and continued to drive for her, seeing that she was in more need of it than the owner Turbo or Nelly.

The track suddenly started to ascend, Marshmallow and Vanellope realized that they were going higher and looked down to see that the track was literally curving into a bridge. Below the remaining track was getting farther away from them and Vanellope gulped, not enjoying the heights. "Just get around this turn Vanellope, then we'll make the way down..and to the finish line!" Marshmallow hollered over the engine as he surveyed the ground below and the track as it wound about.

Vanellope and Marsh were making good ground and if things continued to go as well as they were going, they would win. After they won the race they wouldn't even need to figure how to uncorrupt their friends, defeating Nelly and Turbo should undo everything they had done. Vanellope felt giddy with excitement as they neared the end of the giant winding bridge, soon she would have Sugar Rush back and everything would be right again. She just had one more turn, one more track, one more race to win.

But as she turned she spotted Turbo giving her a wicked grin, "I don't think so, little girl!" he yelled and slammed the kart, hard, into Vanellope and Marshmallow. Vanellope was so taken off guard that by the time she realized they were heading towards the edge, it was too late. The kart skidded and then flew off the side of the bridge, tumbling into the air.

"Ahh!" Vanellope screamed as the sinking feeling of weightlessness took over her, Marshmallow and the kart as they tumbled through the air. The wind pierced her skin and caused her eyes to burn wherever she tried to look. Marshmallow even started to float up and out of the kart as they fell, slipping out of his seatbelt. Vanellope quickly grabbed onto him, hoping that somehow the brave move had helped him.

Below the ground and the track was coming up fast and Vanellope was again out of options. "Marshmallow, this is it!" she cried and looked at the treat in his deep blue eyes. Marshmallow had small little droplets of tears falling out of his eyes as he stared back at Vanellope. The two knew they were doomed and it was shown as they stared helplessly at the other's face, hoping by some miracle that they'd be saved.

Vanellope remembered how she had felt the same helplessness falling off of Diet Cola Mountain and being saved at the last minute by Taffyta. She recalled lots of times Taffyta had saved her life along with several other friends like Red, Ralph, even Taffyta's copy. But this time it was just her and Marsh, this time she had nobody else to come to her rescue. "I can't give up.." Vanellope thought, "I have to keep going, for Sugar Rush…I will beat Turbo and Nelly, we have to!".

"Vanellope.." a voice called, distant yet loud enough for the Princess to hear. Vanellope's eyes filled with light and she squinted trying to shield them from being blinded. "Vanellope…" the voice called out again and Vanellope looked around, wondering where on earth she could have heard it from. "Vanellope, please…" it called again, still causing Vanellope to search for its source.

"It's me Vanellope, please use my power to help you…" she said again and Vanellope realized who it was. "Taffyta's…copy?" she asked out loud, searching for the girls copy, "Where are you?". Marshmallow eyed Vanellope as they fell, he could see her talking to someone but he could neither hear nor see the voice. "Vanellope who is it?" the little treat called, but his small voice couldn't reach the teal racer. Vanellope heard a giggle, eerily similar to Taffyta's and then it spoke again. "I'm here..just not how I know you'd like me to be, I'm still deleted.." she said softly and Vanellope felt her heart rip in two. "But I can still help you, I can still grant you my power…just this once before I'm completely gone.." she added and Vanellope swallowed hard. How the girl was here talking to Vanellope was beyond the poor Princess, she recalled several times she had seen her over the various weeks and questioned the same thing. Yet here she was, offering her assistance, but still unable to come back to the land of Sugar Rush.

"But that's not fair..you can't come back, but Nelly.." Vanellope tried to choke out but ultimately failed as she felt tears spill out of her. "Nelly came back because of darker reasons..you know I couldn't do that, I wouldn't allow myself to come back that way." Taffyta's copy stated and Vanellope tried to understand. "I know this is hard, making these decisions is hard Vanellope..that's why I am here to help you, along with your friends." Taffyta's copy said, sounding like she was smiling, "I hope that this reaches you…use it to win Vanellope.".

As soon as Taffyta's voice disappeared Vanellope felt her kart shake uncontrollably as well as her body, glitching out of control. A light appeared in front of them and started forming what looked to be a green semi broken track that the kart bounced up and down on top of. At first it looked as if the track would simply glitch in and out, eventually deleting and leaving the two to fall to their doom. But as Vanellope continued to hold on and control the glitched up road, it started to steady and allow her to maneuver and form towards the ground on a smooth path.

Marshmallow looked on in awe as they approached the ground on this glitched green road, "How are you doing this?" Marshmallow asked and looked down as they were approaching the finish line well before Turbo and Nelly. Vanellope smiled and looked at Marshmallow but was too focused on this tedious task for words; instead she hit the gas on the kart and sped up towards the finish line.

Nelly and Turbo watched on in horror as Vanellope rode what looked like a clear green, pixelated road above the track they were driving on. "Hurry up you fool!" Nelly screamed and yanked at Turbo's neck, trying to get him to go faster. Turbo growled in anger and sped forward as fast as he could, trying to make it in time. But just as they were about to finish, Vanellope's glitched road shot her swiftly through the finish line, defeating Turbo and Nelly.

The road immediately broke and disappeared as they went through the finish line, slamming them onto the ground. Vanellope held on, trying to control the kart as it spun onto the solid ground. Marshmallow held tightly onto the girl, worried they'd crash after their glorious victory, but smiled as the kart came to a complete stop and the two were completely unharmed.

Vanellope got out of the kart, grabbing onto Marshmallow and spinning him around; "We won!" she cried and held him close. The Marshmallow squealed with joy and embraced his dear friend Vanellope. No sooner had Vanellope, Marshmallow, Turbo and Nelly arrived at the finish line, the racers all zoomed in and looked rather confused. Some were starting to lose their reddish glow to their eyes and some even had their human skin tones back.

Nelly looked back and forth at the racers who were coming to and screamed, "No, I refuse to lose…I am the winner, you're the loser!" she cried and pointed at Vanellope. Before Vanellope could get another word in, she watched as the world around them started to slowly change from a graveyard, dark looking place to a bright blue sky along with a beautiful candy filled track. Soon the colors changed completely and Vanellope realized they were back in Sugar Rush, at the Sugar Rush Speedway. Vanellope smiled down at Marshmallow, winning the race had reset Sugar Rush again and hopefully all the damage that was done to it.

"No, my graveyard!" Nelly cried and threw herself onto the ground, crying and throwing a complete fit. The racers all arrived next to Vanellope, confused and still partially corrupted, wondering why their leader was acting so childish. "I'm not the loser, I'm not!" she screamed and looked at Vanellope, "Die you jerk!". Vanellope flinched as Nelly stood up and shot her hand at the girl, expecting electricity to flow from the villains hand and at the girl.

When nothing had happened, Nelly tried again. She tried again, and again until she was practically throwing her hands at Vanellope's face, trying to get anything to come out and electrify the girl. "Why isn't it working?" Nelly cried, looking at her hands. It was only then did she realize that her hand was becoming see through, that she was starting to fade out of existence. "No…" Nelly whispered as she looked upon Vanellope with horror and then turned to Turbo who was simply smiling his evil smile, "Don't you remember Nelly…our agreement?" he laughed. Nelly sank down to her knees and stared up at Vanellope, "I can't…I can't be the loser, you're the loser..not me..I have to win!" the ex-Princess cried, grabbing onto Vanellope's arm. Vanellope stared down at the broken girl, trying to understand the girls ways, "Everyone's got to be a loser sometime Nelly, this time you're the loser.." Vanellope said as Nelly completely disappeared out of existence forever.
