Chapter 2: Escaping The Fungeon

Licortwist looked at Creamy with suspicion and interest.

"What kind of proposition are you thinking of?" Licortwist asked.

Creamy smirked.

"I'm thinking that we should escape together in order to get revenge on the racers. With those brats out of the way, we can rule Sugar Rush together." Creamy replied.

Licortwist thought about it and then nodded.

"Alright, Creamy. I'll agree to your proposition. But, there's a problem to that plan. I can't use the licorice pieces because of these power-proof chains. I can't remove them, but you can. If you get me out of the chains, then I can get us both out of here." Licortwist said.

Creamy nodded and she took out the metal pin. She then proceeded to pick the lock of the power-proof chains, and ten minutes later, they heard a soft click noise, and the chains opened. Licortwist broke free and threw the chains aside before quickly standing up.

"Alright. Let's get out of here." Licortwist said.

Licortwist waved his right arm forward and a bunch of licorice pieces flew out of his arm. He and Creamy then left the cell and started making their way to the exit of the fungeon. However, they soon reached the gate that led out of the lowest level, and there were two Oreo guards that were guarding the gate. Licortwist menacingly approached them, with the licorice pieces moving around his feet and up against the walls. The Oreo guards gasped in fear before charging at Licortwist with their spears pointed at him. However, Licortwist simply had the licorice pieces restrain the two Oreo guards before smashing their heads together, knocking them out. Licortwist then approached the gate, and with the licorice pieces, he broke and removed the gate.

Licortwist and Creamy then went up a stairwell that was behind the gate until they reached the first level of the fungeon. As they got to the first level of the fungeon, they came to a long, narrow hallway. Creamy made her way down the hallway first and Licortwist made his way down the hallway second. The two of them were forced to move by foot, although Licortwist made the licorice pieces, buzzing and clicking, travel behind him. When they reached the end of the hallway, they came across a large hexagonal room. Each wall of the room was filled with monitors and screens showing CCTV footage of each level of the fungeon. At each wall, there was a desk, except for one wall, which had a door. At each desk sat a Oreo guard. They were probably meant to be surveying the screens, but most sat there, headphones on, lazily eating a donut, or using the computers to play hangman. Licortwist and Creamy entered the room, and the Oreo guards looked up in surprise.

"Hey, wait a second. You two are Licortwist Hothead and Creamy Buttercap. What are you doing here?" one of the Oreo guards asked.

"Duh, we're escaping. Did you not notice?" Creamy asked tauntingly. She then said "But you can lock us up again... if you can stop us!" Creamy replied.

The Oreo guards charged at Licortwist and Creamy with their spears pointed at them. However, Licortwist and Creamy easily defeated them. Licortwist used the licorice pieces to smash some of the Oreo guards while Creamy took out a chocolate knife and stabbed the remaining Oreo guards. When they had taken care of the Oreo guards, Licortwist and Creamy headed down the hallways of the fungeon. They made their way to the elevator that led out of the fungeon, but before they could walk over to the elevator, the elevator's doors opened up, and a group of twelve Oreo guards ran out of the elevator and pointed their spears at Licortwist and Creamy.

"Licortwist Hothead and Creamy Buttercap, you are coming with us." one of the Oreo guards said.

Licortwist felt anger rising inside him. Why couldn't they just leave him and Creamy alone?

"Sorry, but we aren't going with you." Licortwist said.

Licortwist held out a hand, and a wave of licorice pieces shot forward and violently threw seven of the Oreo guards aside. The five remaining Oreo guards took out candy guns and opened fire. However, Licortwist summoned a spherical wall of licorice pieces to protect himself and Creamy. He then knocked down the five remaining Oreo guards and threw them around like ragdolls. He didn't care how many people he injured or killed. Nothing else mattered to him anymore, except for his and Creamy's plan.

Once Licortwist had taken care of the twelve Oreo guards, he realized that it would be harder to make his way through the castle in order to get out of the fungeon and leave Sugar Rush then it would be to get out of the fungeon and leave Sugar Rush by skipping going through the castle. So he turned to one of the walls of the fungeon and used the licorice pieces to rip a hole in the wall that led out of the fungeon and outside of the castle. He then turned to Creamy.

"Hop on my back." Licortwist ordered.

Creamy nodded and she hopped onto his back. Just then, the elevator's doors opened again and twenty more Oreo guards ran out. Licortwist groaned, had the licorice pieces move under his feet, and then he had them swarm away with him and Creamy on top of them.

Meanwhile, the twenty Oreo guards watched in horror as Licortwist and Creamy escaped.

"We better tell the president about this." one of the Oreo guards said.
