Chapter 11: Vanellope Contacts Swizzle

Licortwist had the licorice pieces carry him out of the way just in time before the blast of pixels could hit him. He shot licorice spikes at Vanellope, but she glitched out of the way and shot another blast of pixels at Licortwist. This time, Licortwist was unable to dodge the blast of pixels and he got thrown back into the Forgotten racers code box. He glared at Vanellope, his eyes seeming to glow redder.

"Vanellope, I'm going to kill you!" Licortwist yelled.

Vanellope looked around and realized that the best place to have their fight was outside of the Code Room, so nothing would get messed up. She started glitching back out of the Code Room and Licortwist noticed.

"Come back here! I'm not done with you!" Licortwist yelled.

Licortwist swarmed after Vanellope. He fired a licorice stream at her, but Vanellope glitched to the side in order to avoid it. She reached the hall and ran into the throne room. Once she was in the throne room, Vanellope quickly took out her portal key and used it to contact Swizzle.

Back in Sugar Rush Square, Damon had just told Taffyta, Rancis, Jubileena, Gloyd, Swizzle, Minty, Citrusella, and Torvald about his mod abilities. After he did, Swizzle's portal key's communicator beeped. Damon looked around in confusion.

"What is that?" Damon asked.

Swizzle took out his portal key and saw that it was Vanellope calling him.

"Vanellope's calling me." Swizzle replied.

Swizzle answered the communicator.

"Hey, Vanellope? What do you need?" Swizzle asked.

"Swizzle, where are you?" Vanellope asked from the other end of the communicator.

"I'm with Taffyta, Rancis, Jubileena, Gloyd, Minty, Citrusella, Torvald, and Damon in Sugar Rush Square." Swizzle replied.

"Okay, get the rest of the team and hurry to the castle. Licortwist broke into the castle and activated those new characters, and now I'm trying to hold him off." Vanellope ordered.

Swizzle frowned.

"Okay, we're coming." Swizzle announced.

Swizzle shut off the communicator and turned to Taffyta, Rancis, Jubileena, Gloyd, Minty, Citrusella, Torvald, and Damon.

"Guys, there's trouble." Swizzle said.

Taffyta, Rancis, Jubileena, Gloyd, Minty, Citrusella, and Torvald nodded. However, Damon didn't know anything about the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, and Toxika being part of Sugar Rush, so he was confused as to what Swizzle meant.

"Where at?" Taffyta asked.

"The castle. Licortwist showed up and Vanellope's fighting him all by herself." Swizzle replied.

Damon raised his hand into the air.

"What is it, Damon?" Citrusella asked.

Damon frowned.

"What are you guys talking about?" Damon asked.

Jubileena quickly explained everything about her, the other Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, and Toxika forming the team. She told them that Vanellope had given herself and the Sugar Rush racers powers in order to fight Licortwist, with Cinndon, Candace, and Toxika joining the team later on. And then she told them about all of their adventures. Once she was done, Damon nodded.

"Alright. Well, if all of you don't mind, I would like to help you stop Licortwist." Damon said.

Taffyta, Rancis, Jubileena, Gloyd, Swizzle, Minty, Citrusella, and Torvald smiled.

"That would be great. Thank you." Rancis said.

Back in the throne room, Vanellope sighed and put the portal key away.

"Alright, hopefully Swizzle will get the rest of the team here quickly. I've got to get Licortwist out of the castle." Vanellope thought.

Vanellope then headed to the exit to the throne room. As she reached the door, Licortwist showed up through the curtain.

"Come on, Licoricehead! Catch me if you can." Vanellope taunted.

Licortwist growled in rage, his eyes seeming to burn.

"Do. Not. Call me that. Ever!" Licortwist snarled.

Licortwist swarmed after her, but Vanellope had already glitched through the door and was making her way through the hallways of the castle, moving away from him as fast as she possibly could. She sighed in relief upon seeing him give chase.

"Good. I'm sure he knows what I'm doing, but I don't need to beat him." Vanellope thought. She then frowned and thought "I don't know if I can beat him. I just need to keep him distracted long enough for the others to get here.".
