Vanellope found herself running through the burning city she built years ago, scared. An imperial Star destroyer hovered overhead, blowing up buildings one by one.
"You're a failure of a ruler, Vanellope" a familiar voice cried out
"Leave me alone" Vanellope shouted
Several droids surrounded her
"Don't worry your majesty, we'll protect you from-
One of the droids had their head shot off, while another 2 had colored juice splattered over them.
"Ew, sticky"
The juice seeped into their circuits and painfully electrocuted the droids to death.
"FOR THE EMPIRE!"
An imperial purge trooper jumped out of the fire and sliced the rest of the droids up as Vanellope got away. She found herself cornered in an alley, by a face she didn't like remembering.
"Turbo, just leave me alone" Vanellope pleaded
"Look at this city burn. You failed as a ruler. You're a terrible ruler, which is why you were so easy for me to replace when you were younger. Why would anyone in this pathetic game want you in charge?" Turbo asked as he stepped out of the shadows
Vanellope didn't have an answer to his question.
"It would be so much fun to watch you cower, but be even more fun to watch you die" said Turbo
With the snap of his fingers, turbo summoned several imperial troops by his side.
"Kill that glitch, wipe her from existence" turbo ordered
Vanellope was really scared, she had nowhere to run. The troopers raised their blasters and opened fire without hesitation or mercy.
"Wake up. Vanellope wake up"
Vanellopes eyes shot open and she woke up in her bed at home, with a purple hoof on her chest, belonging to the teacher of her kids, twilight.
"You, purple horse thing, what are you doing in my bedroom?" Vanellope asked
"You were having a nightmare, I needed to wake you. Besides I need your approval on some lessons I want to teach about your old game and-
"Fine, whatever, do what you want, I don't care anymore" said Vanellope as she lied back down
"Your majesty, I know you're still upset about what happened last week but-
"I can assure you I'm fine, now get out of my room" Vanellope ordered
Twilight complied and silently left. Vanellope went to her window and peeked her head out. She looked to her left and faced a big red banner that covered her other bedroom windows. It was bright red and had a black and white imperial crest adorning the middle, a reminder of a failed war she started not too long ago.
"Lousy imperials. Stupid sour bill, you ruined my life betraying me" Vanellope mumbled to herself
Not long ago, Vanellope tried to make her daughter proud by getting rid of the galactic empire, which ruled half the games galaxy. The war was a failure, and her family lost most of their money and some belongings as reparations to the empire, it was either that or be forcibly overthrown. To say her popularity had dwindled was not an exaggeration. As bill pointed out, her family was only still in power due to their many charitable causes they made for the city citizens.
Every citizen would be allowed a home and anything they would need would be given, but now the same couldn't be said for Vanellope. Times were getting tough. Very few knew about Vanellope losing her fortune, for she was highly embarrassed by it, not even the other sugar rush racers knew. Some friends of the family were giving some financial support, but at the moment, food was running low in the castle. Thoughts like this bothered her as she went to the dining room for breakfast with Ralph.
"Hey Ralph" said Vanellope as she sat down
"Hey kid. Just us here. Twins went out with friends and Rancis is in another game. Got you some cereal here. Just went through the food reserves, dangerously low. Shank has offered to-
"Ralph we can't just keep relying on donations, I need to do something about this. Stupid queen bee and her dumb advice got me into this mess" Vanellope mumbled
"Well if you don't want donations, how exactly will we eat tonight huh kid?" Ralph asked
Vanellope thought for a moment and remembered something.
"This game has a candy world right?" She asked
"Yeah, you made it when the racers got homesick. Almost an exact copy of sugar rush, why?" Ralph asked
"Well, with some ingredients, Rancis and I can scrounge up something and make a delicious sugar rush themed dinner" said Vanellope
"Out of candy?" Ralph pointed out
"I know how to make lots of things, when I had to fend for myself I learned to survive off that stuff. And Rancis knows how to craft candy into meals as well. Besides I know you can live off cherries alone" said Vanellope
"And while I know you can live purely off sugar, what about your kids?" Ralph asked
"Oh they'll be fine, they're part sugar rush racer, so this shouldn't have a negative impact on them. Besides it'd be nice to have a sugar rush meal again, no one here makes or sells food like that" said Vanellope
"One last thing, how will you get there? You gave all your cars to Admiral bill, oh my bad, traitor bill" said Ralph
"I'll just ride with shank. I'll give her a call" said Vanellope
(Later, candy world)
Shank and Vanellope wandered the games candy world and started picking out ingredients per vanellopes request.
"You can really make food out of this stuff? Looks like a sugary nightmare to me" said Shank
"You'd be surprised what I'm capable of. I need to support the kids somehow after my mistake" said Vanellope
"How would you know that war would've failed?" Shank asked
"Yeah, that's true. Just like how would you know that mini golf game in slaughter race would be popular" said Vanellope
"Yeah, please don't bring that up. It's so embarrassing to think people wanted to play mini golf with me in a racing game" said Shank
"We've all done embarrassing things. Lucy's been flushed down a toilet. Don't tell her I told you that"
"I won't since I don't want to deal with her anger" said Shank
