A-Plus Cassiopeia: Yeah, Tabitha freed Creamy a few chapters back.
Toa Aerrow: Thanks for that appreciation.
Korrasami 88: Of course Tabitha is. Remember in the Jailbreak chapter?
I am never gone: Well, that is the point of her character. To threaten the heroes.
Lucy Heartfilla: She wants to kill him because she's a psychopath, and she hates recolors.
Natsu Dragreel: Well, she was stopped. For now...
Never leave you: Well, what Vanellope said was actually a tone-downed version of what she really wanted to say...

Okay, from the looks of it, this story may be the third one to reach 100 reviews. So keep it up :D
After Creamy's rampage through Horror Rush, she was locked up in the dungeon. As the Sugar Rush Racers found out soon enough, the dungeon in the Horror Acropolis was nothing like the fungeon in the Sugar Rush Kingdom.
In this dungeon, Creamy was perfectly immobilized: she was suspended in the air, a chain around each of her limbs, stretching her and keeping her from moving. There were at least two cameras inspecting her, and two Oreo guards stationed outside the door, and two more stationed within the cell to watch her. As a finishing touch, there was a collar around her neck.
"What does that collar do?" Candlehead asked innocently. As a demonstration, Penelope pressed a button on the wall. Instantly, a volt of electricity surged through Creamy's body, causing her to scream in agony.
"Sweet," Candlehead whispered in awe.
"She'll be staying under OUR supervision for the time being," Penelope explained to the Sugar Rush Racers. "We'll be interrogating her to find out how she escaped her cell, then we'll release her. As for you, think hard about how to improve your security so this never happens again."
Vanellope chuckled silently to herself. Oh, and interrogation won't be needed, She was thinking bitterly, I already know who freed her.
The racers walked outside of the Horror Acropolis and out towards the town. Tabitha was far in the front, muttering to herself bitterly.
"It was the perfect plan..." She was whispering. "How could Penelope be foolish enough to let them stay? She's going soft..." Before she could further contemplate things, Vanellope glitched in front of her.
"It was you!" Vanellope hissed, pointing an accusing finger at the startled Tabitha. "You did it!"
Tabitha blinked once in confusion. "Did what?" She asked, nervous that she had been discovered. By now, a few racers had stopped and were staring at the two, bewildered.
"You freed Creamy, didn't you!" Vanellope shouted, alerting even more racers to her presence. High on the balcony of the Horror Acropolis, Sore Bill stared down at her, the same dull, lifeless expression on his face.
"What?" Tabitha said, increasingly nervous. "Why would I do something like that? You have no proof!"
"You left the town to go find the scrapped racers," Vanellope pointed out. "Then, shortly after you return, Creamy shows up here? I know how much you hate us, and it's no surprise you'd stoop to such a low!"
Tabitha gulped in panic. She shifted her eyes around, looking for help. The Nightmare Racers were there, staring at her, so she thought that maybe she could shift them on her side somehow.
"You see, she's going around accusing me of these calamities!" She shouted, pointing at Vanellope. "She's a fraud and a lousy ruler. She's evil! She's a...a...a GLITCH!"
The second the insult flew out of Tabitha's mouth, everyone heard Vanellope's ear-piercing scream fill the air. Just as Tabitha turned around, Vanellope lunged at her like a wild animal, slamming into Tabitha with a force that nobody knew she possessed.
The two slammed onto the rough ground, Vanellope on top of Tabitha, and the President beat down upon the Nightmare racer like a primate would beat upon its rival. Her puny fists pummeled onto Tabitha's face, leaving purple bruises. Tabitha raised her hands to try and beat Vanellope off of her, but it was a futile effort. Vanellope broke down Tabitha's defenses like she was flicking a fly.
Racers and candy fans watched from afar, nobody daring to try and stop the enraged President. Even Tabitha's most loyal friends wouldn't intervene to stop the violence.
Vanellope's attack became more vicious, swinging down upon Tabitha more rapidly and brutally, her arms becoming a flurry of punches that rained down upon Tabitha's battered face. The only sounds that came from Vanellope's mouth were animalistic screams. Occasionally, she would slash at Tabitha's face with her own nails, or head butt her.
By now, the rest of the Core 4 had just exited the Horror Acropolis, but they all froze when they saw the intense confrontation before their eyes. The look on Ralph's face as he saw his little Guttersnipe beat the fudge out of Tabitha was something Gene would have taken a photo of and plastered over the internet.
After a brief but careful processing of what was happening before him, Ralph took off like a lightning bolt, soaring towards Vanellope and Tabitha.
"Kid, stop!" He shouted, grabbing Vanellope and trying to pry her off of the battered Tabitha. Amazingly, Ralph actually had some difficulty prying Vanellope off of Tabitha, but eventually, he hoisted her into the air.
"Kid, what are you doing?!" He asked frantically. He'd never seen Vanellope act as violently as she'd been before.
Then the worst thing happened. Penelope marched right out of the Horror Acropolis, saying, "Sore Bill alerted me to something going on in the courtyard. What's happening around-" She stopped talking when she saw Tabitha, lying unconscious on the ground. She had two black eyes, a busted lip, her arm was twisted backwards, and her helmet had been knocked off.
Penelope stared down the wreck that was Tabitha, then up at Vanellope, who was still thrashing about in Ralph's massive hands, but stopped when she saw it the Nightmare Queen staring up at her.
"Uh-oh..." Vanellope whispered, translating everyone else's thoughts perfectly.
