Thanks to TheDisneyFan365 for letting me use his OC's.
I don't own Wreck it Ralph or the OC in this story except for Alden and Jojo.
At the Junkyard...
Jojo and Damon were setting up some targets for today's episode.
"Thanks for helping out Damon.", Jojo said as he dusted his gloves off.
"No problem. But why wasn't your brother able to come today?", Damon asked.
"He's having a date with Nougetsia up in Almond Alps.", Jojo replied.
"What about that other friend of yours, the blue gum guy?", Damon said, trying to remember the racer's name.
"You mean Barry?"
"Yeah, that's the one."
"He's out with Sakura, Johnny and Adorabeezle over at Mortal Kombat. They wanted to see Scorpion fight against Deadpool.", Jojo explained.
In Mortal Kombat...
Scorpion was using his Sub-Zero form and was firing ice blasts at Deadpool. But Deadpool was using his agility and flexibility to dodge his attacks. "Hold still you freak!", Sub-Zero yelled.
"Nyah Nyah! Come on Zero, at least try to hit me before I un-alive you.", Deadpool taunted.
"It's SUB-ZERO!", the villain yelled before he was able to shoot a barrage of ice shards at Deadpool, some of which hit him in the stomach. "HA!"
Deadpool landed hard on the ground, clutching his stomach. He turned to Barry in the bleachers. "A little help here Barry?"
Barry nodded before grabbing a blue bottle from B.I.T. and throwing it to his hero. "Catch!"
Deadpool gets on his knees and catches the bottle before turning away from Sub-Zero. He took out one of his swords and started cutting the ice from his stomach.
Meanwhile, Sub-Zero had turned back to his Scorpion form. "Get over here!", he said as he threw his rope dart. Deadpool just swatted it away with his katana, not even looking at his opponent. "Get over HERE!", Scorpion said, only for Deadpool to do the same thing. Getting angry now, he threw his kunai harder. "GET THE F- OVER HERE!".
Deadpool, once again, just swatted the knife away. Now furious, Scorpion stomped his way over to the masked lunatic.
"Look out Deadpool!" Adorabeezle yelled, getting no response from him.
As Scorpion grabbed Deadpool's shoulders, Deadpool turned to face the ninja. "Oh hey, what's up?", he asked, a blue smear visible on his mask.
Scorpion, confused, looked to see that Deadpool was doing. "What the- Have you been eating ice cream this whole time?!", he yelled angrily.
"No! It's shaved ice.", Deadpool defended, smiling through his mask. "Anyway, you want some?", he asked, offering the villain the treat.
"Hmph... Yeah sure.", Scorpion huffed. As Deadpool was about to hand the undead ninja the dessert, the hero suddenly slammed it in his face. "GOTCHA!", Deadpool laughed. Barry and the racers laughed as well.
"Hahaha! Classic.", Barry commented.
Scorpion was beyond furious now, his Hellfire powers manifesting, burning his mask off and melting the shaved ice from his skull face. "GET OVER HERE B-TCH!". He threw multiple rope darts around the arena, but Deadpool just pulled a Matrix Bullet Time move, dodging all the darts.
"This is gonna take a while, isn't it?", Sakura asked. the others nodded as they continued watching the two warriors fight.
Back in Sugar Rush...
The camera turned on.
"Hey, Jojo, Damon! You're on!", I said.
The two Rushed to their positions infront of the camera. "Hey, welcome back to Candy-Go-Boom. As you can see, and probably have read earlier, Alden and Barry can't be here. So instead, our friend Damon Dumbstruck will be filling in as co-host today.", Jojo said, gesturing to the Dum-Dum themed boy.
"Hey.", Damon said.
"Also, we have another guest joining us for today's test." Jojo said. Damon charged up an electric ball and fired it into the ground, causing a large cloud of cinnamon dust to cover the area. A few seconds later, the dust settled, showing a stage in the middle of the Junkyard.
As Jojo and Damon got on the stage, Jojo took out a microphone from his hat and handed it to Damon. "Okay, now for our special guest. Direct from the multi-verse, the enemy to Sugar Rush and the Royal Family of the Confederacy... please welcome... Prince Licortwist Hothead!"
A boy with pale skin, black hair with red streaks and dark red eyes emerged from behind the curtains. He wore a black shirt with red trimmings and torn sleeves under a black jacket that also has red trimmings, black pants and shoes and a licorice hat on his head.
Behind him came Candi holding a portal key. "Hey guys.", Candi said. "Well, here's Licortwist, just like you asked." The licorice boy scowled.
"Thanks Candi.", Jojo said.
Candi smiled and took out a smaller portal key and a pair of handcuffs. "Here, take these just in case he causes any trouble, okay? You can use the key to call us or open up a portal if you need help from Sugar Rush. Also, the handcuffs can disable his power if he decides to use them."
"No need to worry princess. I have fully reformed. I am just here to do a favor for a friend.", Licortwist fake smiled. Candi still felt a bit unsure of releasing one of the strongest villains her team has ever faced but decided to let him have some time out of the Fungeon. After all, he did display good behavior while in custody. And besides, this universe has it's own Sugar Rush team should they need to fight Licortwist.
"A-Alright then.", she said. She took out her own portal key and opened up a portal to her universe. "Well...see ya later...I guess. Bye!"
"Bye Candi!", the three boys waved as the princess stepped into the portal and back to her home. Jojo then turned to Licortwist.
"So Licortwist, can you tell us a bit about yourself?", he asked, handing the boy the mic, which he took.
"Well, as you know, my name is Licortwist Hothead. My full designation is Prince Licortwist Hothead of Licorice Island. I was an unlocked racer thanks to that glitch-erm... I mean President Vanellope. I attempted to conquer Sugar Rush and the Arcade a few times, only to be stopped by Candi and her Sugar Rush team. They locked me in the Fungeon but I always managed to escape.", Licortwist said with a bit of anger. The two noticed this and stepped back a little. "Don't worry guys. Like I said, I'm good now.", he said with a smile.
The two hosts looked at each other before nodding. "Alright then Licortwist. Now, do you have any powers?", Damon asked.
"I can spawn and control multiple pieces of licorice. I can make them carry me and other heavy materials and make them into solid forms like weapons, usually spears, whips and swords.", said the licorice boy.
"Our friend Cinndon can do that with cinnamon dust too.", Jojo said. Licortwist frowned at him.
"Oh I assure you, my abilities are more powerful than his.", he said smugly. "Now, if you won't mind, shall we proceed with your test?"
Jojo and Damon felt a bit unsure at first but nodded and the group made their way to the target range. As usual, the first target consisted of the standard cybug head and the second target was a hard jawbreaker bust of King Candy. The third one, however, was covered by a tarp.
"Okay guys, we already have the targets set up. And if you're wondering about the King Candy head, King Candy let us use it as a target this time.", Damon said.
"Yeah, he said it was made during The Virus Candy's time as ruler and he wanted to get rid of it.", Jojo added. "And what better way than to destroy it on a show that destroys candy stuff, am I right?", he chuckled, getting no response from the two. "Hm, so this is how Alden feels when no one laughs at his jokes. Weird."
Damon got infront on the camera. "Anyway, let's start with the test." Both he and Jojo stepped back as Licortwist got into his position. "Whenever you're ready Licortwist."
Licortwist turned away from them and moved his right arm, causing small licorice pieces to fall from inside of his sleeve. He let out enough pieces to form a licorice spike and, similar to Cinndon, lift it high above his head before throwing it at the Cybug head, piercing effortlessly through the metal exoskeleton and deep into the hill behind the target.
"Wow!", the two said as they got closer to examine the now destroyed target. A closer look revealed that not only did the licorice spike go completely through the head, causing it to bleed green Jello slime, but also buried itself deep into the ground behind the cybug head. "So Licortwist, how are you supposed to-", Jojo started saying before Licortwist waved his hand around. Both hosts heard a clicking noise coming from with the hole in the ground. Not a second later, the licorice pieces started coming out of the hole before returning to rest at Licortwist's feet. "N-never mind."
"Your powers are amazing Licortwist. What else can you do?", Damon complimented the prince.
"This!", Licortwist said, giving them a cocky grin. He had more licorice pieces fall out of his sleeve and join the others from earlier. He then raised his arms up, commanding the candy to raise him high into the air on a platform made from licorice. He then aimed his arms at the second target, the King Candy head, and made the licorice pieces form into a giant mallet, and with a swift movement, slammed it into the jawbreaker bust, obliterating it into candy dust.
After the dust settled, Licortwist raised the licorice mallet and slammed it back down in the same spot. He kept repeating this, saying "Die, Die, Die!" angrily
"Woah, Woah! Licortwist stop!", Jojo called out, but Licortwist wasn't listening. He kept crushing whatever remained of the Candy bust. Feeling a bit scared and angered, Jojo and Damon decided to take action. Jojo unraveled his Airheads whips from his wrists while Damon charged up an electric ball.
Jojo ran up to Licortwist and used his whips to wrap around the boy's arms, stopping the licorice mallet from moving. Meanwhile, Damon had finished charging an electric ball. He took aim at the mallet and threw the ball at it, causing the licorice pieces to burn up and the mallet to collapse, leaving burnt licorice pieces on the ground.
As Jojo was holding Licortwist in place, he began to struggle, trying to break free of the whips. "Stop it Licortwist!", Jojo yelled.
Licortwist glared angrily at him. "Never!", he said, his voice suddenly sounding a bit demonic. He started getting one of his hands free, and with a flick of the wrist, caused a few razor sharp licorice pieces to start flying around himself and cut through the whips. "Yes!" He then looked at Jojo and made the pieces fly at high speed toward him, hoping to cut the Airheads boy up as well.
Seeing the pieces coming at him, Jojo aimed his right arm at them and launched a few sticky balls, trapping most of the flying candy blades. But one piece was able to avoid getting trapped in the ball and managed to hit Jojo's leg. "Aaahhh!", he screamed in pain. The licorice piece had cut through his thigh, causing him to fall on his side, his leg now bleeding.
Damon, furious now, ran up to the platform that held Licortwist and jammed his electric ball into it. The electricity surged through the licorice pieces until it reached Licortwist, making him scream in pain as well before he lost consciousness and fell to the ground along with the licorice with a loud thud.
Damon ran to Jojo's side. "Jojo, are you alright?" Jojo tried to get up on his own but winced at the pain before he lost his balance and fell down. He looked closely at his wound, seeing it bleeding but was gradually starting to close up and heal itself, although this may take some time. "Y-yeah, I'll be fine." Jojo formed a small sticky ball in his hand and stretched it out a bit until it was thin enough before placing it on top of the wound, using it as a makeshift bandage.
The Airheads boy tried to stand up again, but with some difficulty. Damon didn't like seeing his friend struggle. He looked around for something to help him get up until he saw a broken candy cane branch not too far away. "Perfect! Wait here Jojo.", he said as he went to get the item. "Sure. I'm not going anywhere.", Jojo replied, rolling his eyes. A second later, Damon came back with the branch and help his friend stand up, using the branch as a crutch. "Thanks."
As Jojo was getting up, they heard Licortwist groaning. Looking over, they saw him trying to get up, holding his head in pain as well. "What happened?", the Twizzler boy asked.
"You don't remember?", Jojo said as he limped over to him. "You went crazy and tried to smash us! Not to mention you threw a licorice razor at my leg!", he said angrily, showing the villain his wounded leg.
"What? I don't remember that.", Licortwist said. "I didn't do any of that, did I?"
"Uh, yeah, you did.", Damon said. Licortwist seemed worried now.
"Oh no! It's happening again!", he said, kicking the cinnamon dirt. The two hosts looked confused.
"Wait, wait. What do you men by 'It's happening again.'?", Damon asked.
"Sometimes, when something triggers a bad memory for me, I end up going crazy.", Licortwist explained. He looked at Damon. "What exactly was I doing when it happened?"
"You were crushing a King Candy head.", Damon answered. Licortwist looked shocked by this.
"King Candy! That's it!", said Licortwist.
Jojo limped closer to them. "Wait, why would King Candy trigger a bad memory?"
Licortwist sighed. "It's all part of my backstory. In my universe, I lost my parents to some thugs on Licorice Island. I escaped but King Candy and Vanellope found me and took me in for a few days. After that, King Candy asked if I knew more about where I came from. I reluctantly told him my story. He promised me that they would help me get my parents back if I come with him to Licorice Island. When we got there, the thugs already killed them.", Licortwist looked like he was about to cry. "King Candy never kept his promise. I got so mad that I attacked him, but the guards stopped me. After that, they sentenced me to be locked away, not in the Fungeon, but my actual code in the Code Room." Licortwist stomped the ground in anger. "They locked me away! How could they do that!", he yelled. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself. "Sorry about that.", he said to the hosts.
"No, we're sorry Licortwist. We didn't mean to bring up such a traumatic experience.", Jojo apologized
"Yeah, sorry Licortwist.", Damon apologized as well.
Licortwist sniffled a bit. "It's alright. I'm sorry for attacking you."
Jojo and Damon smiled at the boy. "Apology accepted.", Jojo said.
The three stood in silence for a bit. That was until Damon spoke up. "How about we take a bit of a brake?" The two nodded and they went to opposite parts of the Junkyard. "Uh Jojo, can I talk to you for a sec?", Damon asked. Jojo nodded before the Dum-Dums boy pulled him behind a couple of wrecked karts.
"Whoa! What are you doing?", Jojo said.
"Ssshhh! He'll here you.", Damon said as he covered Jojo's mouth. Jojo pushed his friend's hand away.
"Who? You mean Licortwist?" Damon nodded. "Come on D, he just has one of those PTSD episodes. He won't do any harm." Damon still didn't look convinced. "Give him a chance please?", Jojo said, trying to pursuade his friend. Damon finally gave in.
"Alright. But if he even tries anything funny, I won't hesitate to attack him.", Damon said as he made his hand glitch.
Jojo thought about it carefully before agreeing. "Deal."
The two then made their way to their guest, who had formed another licorice tower with him standing at its peak. "Hey, Licortwist.", Jojo called out. Licortwist looked down with a calm expression on his face.
"Hey guys. Again, I'm sorry about earlier.", the licorice boy said as he used the licorice pieces to lower himself down to the ground.
"It's ok. What were you doing up there?"
"Just looking around the game. The main Kingdom looks just like ours but you don't have a Licorice Island. Also, there are two other Castles over there.", Licortwist said, pointing to Sweet Tooth Castle and Sweets Ville Castle.
"Oh yeah, we got those kingdoms during a couple of upgrades. The rulers their are very nice, but the Sweet Tooth ruler is a bit strict."
"Alright."
The two kept quiet until Jojo spoke up again. "So Licortwist, do you still want to continue the test? We understand if you don't want to."
"I-I'll do it.", Licortwist agreed. He and Jojo then made their way to the third target. As they were walking, or limping in Jojo's case, the Airheads boy looked back and saw that Damon wasn't following them.
Seeing his friend was still a bit wary, he made a gesture and mouthed "Come on." to him. Damon then hesitantly followed them.
As they stood infront of the target, Damon made his way over to the tarp covering it while Jojo and Licortwist stayed a few meters away. "Okay Licortwist, our friend made this target to look like an enemy of yours in the past. But just some info, this enemy is just a copy, although it has the same powers. We used a couple of them for past episodes before and they were pretty tough.", Jojo said.
Licortwist just smiled at him. "I think I can handle it.", he said confidently.
Damon took the tarp off the target and revealed a Frostbite Candi head. The host then turned it on and its eyes glowed bright blue. As it looked around its surroundings, trying to adjust its eyes, it saw Licortwist and glared angrily at him. "You again! What do you want now? You wanna kill me and the other Frostbites again? Or do you want us to attack some other game so you could rule them? Or maybe you want me to- What did you do to me?!", she yelled as it looked down to see she was just a head.
"Who are you again?", Licortwist asked, pretending like he doesn't know who this character was.
"Frostbite Candi! You know, a member of the Frostbite army! You said you'd help us take over the games if we joined you. We helped you but you just left us to fight off the zombies in Dead Space and the racers!", Frostbite Candi growled.
"Oh yeah, I remember you now. You weren't really much help. Good thing I got Dark Steven to help me instead. You Frostbites and Creamy just weren't...how can I say this... Useful... For my purpose.", Licortwist said coldly.
"So what? You're calling us useless? Is that it!", Frostbite Candi spat.
"Yeah.", the prince said dismissively.
At hearing this, Frostbite Candi was furious now. She moved her head around, trying to get herself off of the pedestal that held her head. After a few tries, she managed to fall off the stand and onto the ground before growing herself an ice body. As she finished, she glared at Licortwist, her eyes actually glowing red in rage.
She formed her hands into large ice claws and charged at Licortwist. Licortwist brought out his licorice pieces and formed a protective wall around himself. The licorice wall was able to keep the ice claws from puncturing and hitting the licorice boy. Angry now, Frostbite Candi jabbed her other hand into the licorice and tried to freeze it. The wall itself was slowly starting to freeze, the frost managing to seep through the wall and come out on the other side.
Licortwist noticed the frost and made the front of the wall form around the Frostbite. The wall followed his command and started forming around the Frostbite until she had no room to move. Frostbite Candi struggled to get free and stabbed her claws through the licorice, the tips going through and freezing the candy. As the frozen portion of the wall got bigger, Frostbite Candi pulled the wall apart and peeked her head through the wall. "Here's Candi!", she said viciously.
Licortwist didn't seem fazed by this. As Frostbite Candi crawled out of the hole, she attempted to slash at him again, only for him to use the licorice pieces to form under him and raise him up above the ice creature. Because of his quick thinking, Frostbite Candi's claws were only able to freeze the licorice and not Licortwist himself. "Come Back here!", Frostbite Candi yelled.
The prince looked down at her with a bored look. "This is very tiresome. This proves what I said about you was right."
"SHUT UP AND DIE!", Frostbite Candi yelled out as she aimed her ice claws at him and launched multiple ice shards. The prince just used the licorice pieces to block the attack again before making them combine into whips and having them strike the girl. Frostbite Candi turned her ice claws into ice swords and used them to cut the whips coming her way. However, as she was blocking the incoming whips, Licortwist had made the other pieces form around the ice girl's legs, gradually climbing their way up until she couldn't move anymore.
"Let go of me!", Frostbite Candi yelled. Licortwist just smirked.
"And why would I do that? After all, you did just tell me to 'SHUT UP AND DIE'" Licortwist made the pieces squeeze her.
"Aaahhh! Stop it!", the Frostbite girl screamed in pain. Licortwist made the pieces loosen up a bit, giving the ice girl a chance to breathe. She looked up at him, looking very scared. "I'm sorry. Please, let me go.", she begged.
Licortwist's grin got a little bigger. He got closer to her face while also making sure the pieces kept her restrained. "I'm sorry, what was that?"
"I-I said that I'm sorry.", she said softly.
"I can't hear you. Can you speak up?"
"I said that I'm sorry!"
"A little louder please."
Frostbite Candi growled a bit at the licorice boy's arrogant attitude. However, as he looked at her, she was instantly frozen in fear. She took a moment to collect herself before speaking. "I SAID I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY alright. Now please let me go!", she practically yelled as she begged to be set free.
"Good. Now, was that so hard?", Licortwist smirked. Frostbite Candi just looked away as Licortwist released her from her candy bonds. "I hope you've learned something here. Now, go run along. Just hope I never see you again.", he said as he turned away from her and back to the hosts as if nothing happened.
Frostbite Candi glared at him again. 'Now's my chance.', she thought to herself. She made her hand turn into an ice dagger and rushed at Licortwist as his back was turned. "Die you piece of chip!", she screamed.
As she was about to hit the Twizzler boy, she found her legs trapped again. Looking down, she saw several licorice pieces keeping her in place. As she followed the trail leading to Licortwist, she saw his angered expression and felt even more scared than before. What was scary about Licortwist now was that he looked both angry and calm at her.
"I warned you.", he grinned. He had several more licorice pieces fall out of his sleeve. He used some of them to form a spear while he used the rest to make another giant hammer.
"N-No Licortwist, please! It was just a mistake!", she pleaded.
Licortwist just grinned like before. "I know." He made the spear levitate above his head while the hammer was positioned above hers. "One I don't intend to make again." He cocked his arm back as he got ready to throw the spear.
"No, don't-", Frostbite Candi yelled but it was too late.
"Goodbye!", Licortwist said as he hurled the spear throught the air, striking Frostbite Candi through the head. The impact caused a large hole in the middle of her head, but not enough to kill her, as Frostbites were able to regenerate missing body parts.
"Licortwist.", Frostbite Candi whispered as she held her hand out. But as she did, Licortwist slammed the hammer down on her, completely destroying her body into ice shards before they disappeared.
Satisfied with what he had done, Licortwist took a deep breath. "Phew! That was fun.", he said happily as he shook off some ice shards that got stuck to his clothes. "Are you okay guys?"
Damon and Jojo came out from behind a few kart shells. They were hiding the whole time while Frostbite Candi and Licortwist were fighting to avoid getting hit. Damon thought it was a cowardly idea at first but was thankful he went with Jojo, seeing as the whole area had been nearly destroyed.
"Uh, yeah. We're fine.", Jojo said as he dusted himself off. He turned to the camera. "Well, I guess that proves that Licortwist is more than capable of fighting anything that crosses him. Am I right, Damon?"
"Yeah. This is the reason he was one of the toughest villains in the Multi-verse.", Damon complimented.
"Right. Well, that concludes today's episode of Candy-Go-Boom. Until next time, I'm Jojo..."
"I'm Damon..."
"I'm Licortwist..."
"And I'm Paolo."
"See ya all next time. Bye!"
As the camera was about to turn off, Jojo limped over to Licortwist. "Well, that's done. Thanks Licortwist for coming on the show." Jojo pulled out his portal key. "So, ready to go?"
"Actually...no.", Licortwist said.
"What? Why? The show's done. You can go back to your kingdom now.", Jojo said.
"Nah. I think I'll take this one instead."
Confused, Damon and Jojo tried to talk to Licortwist. "But what about your kingdom? What about the racers? You said you've reformed!"
Licortwist stared at them. "That was just a lie. My parents can take care of Licorice Island. As for the racers, they won't even be able to stop me now!", he laughed.
"What? You said your parents died! You told us that was the reason you hated King Candy.", Damon said.
"That was a simple trick. My parents never really died. They were unlocked along with the island a couple of months back. They wanted me to be good. (Blek).", the Twizzler boy shuddered. "Really? They wanted me to be good? That was just disgusting. As for King Candy, he locked me up for harming not just him, but all the racers. That included all the kingdoms and other games." He gave them a maniacal grin. "It went something like this!" He launched a wave of licorice at the two, knocking them off their feet, before making the licorice wrap them up.
"Why are you doing this Licortwist?", Jojo cried as the candy pieces started to squeeze him. Licortwist walked calmy up to him and smiled.
"Why? To rule your game of course! I couldn't get anywhere in my dimension with Candi's Sugar Rush team interfering. Speaking of which..." the villain snatched the portal key from the Airheads boy's grasp, "you won't be needing that.", he said as he threw the portal key on the ground before stepping on it.
"No!", Jojo yelled, thinking his way to get help was lost. Licortwist looked back at them.
"And just to make sure you don't get in my way, I'll be taking that.", he said as he took the power restraining handcuffs from Jojo's pocket and cuffed Jojo's right wrist to Damon's left. "There. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with destiny." Licortwist made more licorice pieces fall from his sleeve before stepping on them and riding the wave to Vanellope's Castle.
As Licortwist left, Damon looked angrily at Jojo. "Well Jojo, this is a fine mess you've gotten us into."
"Me? What about you? You said you would get Licortwist if he tried any funny business.", Jojo retorted.
"Not with you in the way.", Damon huffed.
"Whatever."
The two kept quiet, trying to think of a plan. Unfortunately, Damon had nothing in mind. "So Jojo, I don't suppose you have a way of getting us free, do ya?"
Jojo grinned at him. "Oh, so now you're asking for my help?"
"Yeah yeah, do you have one or not?"
Jojo lifted his left arm up and flicked his wrist. A hidden blade popped up from his armbrace. "Does this answer your question?"
"Wha- Where did you get that?"
"Nobody told you? Alden, Arturon and I are honorary assassins. We got these when Ubisoft gave Kuya permission for a new Assassin's Creed game. Sadly, the version we were making for was never made, so Ubisoft just gave him the weapons code for any game he wanted to add.", Jojo explained as he used the blade to cut away the licorice pieces before using the blade to pick the lock on the handcuffs.
"Really? What was it called?"
"Assassin's Creed Rebellion.", Jojo replied as he unlocked Damon's cuff.
"Thanks. Now, how are we going to stop that monster?", Damon asked.
Jojo went over to pick up the portal key. The key looked cracked all around but luckily the key still looked pretty much intact. "Let me try this." Jojo pushed a button on the key and the sound of static was heard before a garbled voice came through. "H-lo?"
"Hello? Candi?"
"Oh -ey Jo-o, wh-s g-ng on? The line s-ms mes-d up. I c-n't h-r -ou."
Feeling a bit panicked, Jojo repeatedly hit the key with his hand, hoping to get a clear message through. After a few taps, the signal finally became clear. "There, can you hear me now?"
"Yes."
"Good.", he said calmly. Jojo took a deep breath. "WE NEED YOUR HELP! LICORTWIST ESCAPED AND HES'S ON HIS WAY TO VANELLOPE'S CASTLE!"
"What? How?", the princess asked with a panicked tone as well.
"No time to explain. We'll try to slow him down while you try to get some back-up. Our portal key's damaged."
"Okay, I'll try to get to you as fast as I can.", Candi replied.
"Thanks. And please hurry!", Jojo said before shutting off the key.
"Well, now what? How do we stop Licortwist. That back-up's gonna take a while to get here.", Damon said.
"We don't have to stop him, just slow him down until Candi's team arrives."
"Okay then. Uh, can you still drive?"
"I think so. The wound is almost healed anyway."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!", Damon smiled as he hopped into the Sucker Punch parked nearby. Jojo got into the Chewvrol-8 and the two sped off to catch up with Licortwist.
Meanwhile, In Candi's Dimension...
The princess was infront of Rancis' house. She knocked on the door, hoping that the person she was looking for was at home. A few seconds later, the door opened with a girl behind it. "Oh hi Candi. What brings you here?", the girl asked nicely.
"Actually, I came here for you. I have a favor to ask."
Back in Sugar Rush 1...
Licortwist was almost at the edge of Candy Cane Forest, riding his licorice pieces to get through the dense forest as fast as possible. The Sucker Punch and the Chewvrol-8 were close behind but having difficulty navigating the terrain. Even if the Sucker Punch had better traction compared to the Chewvrol-8's high speed, its large and bulky design was making it hard for Damon to dodge the trees. Good thing that his kart was made to be stronger and more durable than most others.
As the two neared the edge of the forest, Licortwist heard the sound of their karts coming his way. "Can't those two take a hint?", he sighed, getting annoyed at the two would-be heroes. He made his licorice pieces turn into two giant hammers and waited for them to come closer while he hid himself on one of the highest branches of the trees and waited.
A few seconds later, the Sucker Punch and Chewvrol-8 came out, the two drivers looking confused. "What? Where did he go?", Damon asked.
"Up here you fools!", Licortwist yelled as he slammed the hammers on the two karts.
"Jojo, watch out!", Damon called out. Jojo saw the hammers and jumped out of his kart at the same time Damon jumped out of his. The two were able to get out safely just as the hammers destroyed their karts.
"Phew! Close one!", Jojo said.
"Not close enough!", Licortwist said as he sent another wave of licorice towards him. Jojo noticed it at used an Airheads whip to snag a nearby candy cane branch and pulled himself to safety before the candy was able to land a hit on him. Licortwist looked up at him but just as he did, Jojo launched a sticky ball at his face, blinding him. "Why you... Get this off me!", he yelled as he tried to pry the fruit ball from his face.
Meanwhile, Jojo used his whips to swing down from one branch to another until he landed on the ground. He ran as fast as he could to Damon, who had been charging up a very large electric ball. "Ready Damon?" Damon nodded. "Remember, just like we planned. Try to hit Licortwist directly before he recovers."
Damon just rolled his eyes. "Alright, I got it! Now, let's light this sucker!" Jojo nodded and extended his Airheads whips, making both sides wrap around two tree trunks and binding the middle with a sticky ball. Damon climbed in the middle with his giant electric ball in his hand. Jojo pulled him back as far as he could. "Get ready, 3...2...1... GO!" Jojo let go of the whips and catapulted his friend high in the air like an Angry Bird. As Damon soared through the air, Licortwist managed to remove the sticky ball from his face, but before he could react, Damon struck his chest with the electric ball and pushed him off the licorice pieces, both of them landing hard with a thud.
Jojo rushed to his friend's aid. "Damon!" The Dum-Dum boy got up, holding his arm. "Are you alright?"
Damon shook his head. "No, I think my arm is broken." The arm was twisted the wrong way and his palm looked badly burned, likely due to the electric ball.
As they were checking for injuries, they heard Licortwist get up as well. "Augh... Why do you try to resist? Just give up already. Resistance is futile!", he groaned. Licortwist was about to summon more licorice pieces from his arm, but Jojo saw his move and fired a sticky ball at his arm, blocking the pieces.
Licortwist looked angrily at him. "You think this can stop me? I still have more than enough to finish you off!", he scoffed. He commanded the pieces he used earlier and launched another wave at them, trapping them in the pieces and pinning them to the ground. "I don't know how you managed to escape before, but I assure you, it will be the last time.", he said as he made the pieces form into licorice spears and aimed them at their heads and necks. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my licorice pieces have the ability to permanently delete any character, even in their own game." He moved the pieces closer until they were touching the skin. "So, any last words?"
"Yeah, I got some!", a female voice called out. The three looked around to find the source of the interruption. In the distance, they saw a girl standing on a nearby hill.
"Candi?"
"What are you doing here?", Licortwist asked, still aiming the spears at the hosts' necks.
"I heard you were causing trouble here. I came by to stop you.", Candi replied. Licortwist laughed at this.
"Hahaha... You think you can stop me all by yourself ?"
"No, but she can." A girl who looked like a female version of Rancis but with brown hair appeared next to the princess.
"C-Creamy?", Licortwist said.
"What are you doing Licortwist?!", Creamy said, shocked.
Licortwist stared at her before releasing the licorice pieces and hiding his hands behind him. "Oh...uh...nothing.", he said nervously.
Creamy wasn't buying it and marched over to him before pinching his ear...hard. "Don't nothing me! I thought you had changed. Now, here I see you trying to kill people again?", she scolded.
"Ow! Let go!", Licortwist whined.
"Oh no. You're not getting away that easily."
As the two were arguing, Candi went over to see if Jojo and Damon were alright. "Are you okay guys?"
"Yeah. A little battered and bruised, but we'll be fine.", Jojo said as he got up.
"Speak for yourself.", Damon said as he got tried to get up, but it was hard due to his injured arm. Jojo and Candi saw this and Jojo used his Airheads whip to make a sling for Damon's arm while Candi pulled out a mini first aid kit and treated the boy's burnt hand. "Thanks guys." The two smiled. "You're welcome."
As the three watched the two argue, Jojo asked Candi, "Hey Candi, who's that girl?"
"That's Creamy Buttercap, Rancis's sister and Licortwist's girlfriend." The two looked shocked by this.
"Girlfriend? How?", Damon asked.
"Well, you see... In our dimension...Creamy was originally a regular Sugar Rush racer along with Rancis and their brother Peterbelly. Creamy hated recolors so she tried to kill Peterbelly first. Luckily, he survived but lives with a different Sugar Rush team. We imprisoned Creamy for a few years in the Fungeon for that. When we stopped Licortwist and locked him up too, Creamy escaped and helped Licortwist so they could get revenge. But halfway through their plan, Creamy put some kind of fault in a machine they were gonna use so Licortwist kicked her out. When Licortwist got locked up again, Creamy confessed to him and us why she did it. She felt something for him and eventually fell in love."
"Oh, so that's why. Did Licortwist feel the same?", Damon asked as he continued listening to the story and pulled out a Dum-Dum, lighting the stick with a lighter as if it was a cigar.
"Kinda. A few of his plans failed, but every time it did, Creamy would always be the one to try to cheer him up. She even tried a couple of times to convince him to change."
"I take it it didn't work?", Jojo asked sarcastically.
"No. But Creamy won't stop trying." She looked at the two continue to argue as Licortwist kept trying to pull his ear back from his girlfriend. "And to think, I had a whole date night planned. It was gonna be wonderful.", Creamy said. Candi, Damon and Jojo just chuckled.
"Hey Candi, you can have these back. Sorry it got busted.", Jojo said as he gave Candi the portal key and handcuffs back.
"Thanks. And here, just in case you want to come to our universe.", Candi said as she gave him another portal key, this time in black and silver. "This one won't break as easily."
Jojo smiled and the three made their way to the couple. "I think that's enough Creamy.", Candi chuckled.
Creamy blushed before letting go of her boyfriend's ear. Candi then proceeded to snap the cuffs around Licortwist's wrists before opening up a portal home. "Well, thanks for everything. And we're sorry about the damage Licortwist has done."
"It's alright. We can get it cleaned up.", Jojo said. Creamy and Candi nodded while Licortwist just growled.
"Now Licortwist, do you have anything to say?", Creamy asked. Licortwist didn't respond. Creamy pinched his ear again. "I said... do you have anything to say?"
"Ow! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!", Licortwist yelped in pain. Creamy smiled. "Good. Now, let's go home. We still have a date night to do.", she said as she released his ear before stepping through the portal. Licortwist hung his head low before following her. "Yes dear."
"Well, goodbye. Sorry again for the mess.", Candi waved. Jojo and Damon waved back. "Bye!" And with that, the portal disappeared, leaving the hosts with a lot of licorice pieces and a damaged Sugar Rush.
"Well, what are we gonna do with this?", Jojo asked.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going home. I got to race tomorrow.", Damon replied.
Jojo thought about it "I have an idea." He pulled out his hypercube and pointed it at the licorice pieces. The cube sucked the candy in. "Anyway, thanks for helping out."
"Yeah. Thanks for having me. See ya tomorrow.", Damon said as he began walking home.
"Okay. I'll have the Sucker Punch repaired in an hour alright." Damon smiled and the two went home before the camera finally shut off.
