Chapter 10: The Sugar Rush Racers Vs The Frostbites
After getting through the room of ice reflections, the Sugar Rush racers entered the chamber room. They made their way through the chamber room while preventing themselves from looking at their reflections. And this time, they managed to get through the chamber room without any problems.
After leaving the chamber room, the Sugar Rush racers headed down the ice stairs that led to the bottom of Frosty Massif. Occasionally, the children slipped on the ice, but they managed to stay on the stairs and not fall down the stairs.
Eventually, the Sugar Rush racers reached the bottom of the stairs, and they ran up to the room that the Frostbites had been locked up in. They noticed that the gate was open, so they ran inside of the room and noticed that it was empty.
"Darn it! We're too late!" Rancis said angrily.
Vanellope placed a hand on Rancis's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Rancis. Even though we're too late in preventing Licortwist and Creamy from freeing the Frostbites, we'll find them and stop them. They can't be far away." Vanellope said.
Suddenly, the gate slammed shut. The Sugar Rush racers turned around in shock and surprise, and Adorabeezle ran up to the gate. However, the moment that Adorabeelze reached the gate, ice started to spread across the surface of the gate until it froze completely. Adorabeezle started to try and force it open with her claws and horns, but even in her snow beast form, it was of no use.
'W-Why can't we get out?" Adorabeezle asked.
Sticky scowled.
"It's the Frostbites." Sticky replied. She then turned to Candlehead and asked "Candlehead, can you get us out of here?".
Candlehead nodded, and she walked up to the gate so she could use her fire powers to thaw the gate. However, before she could even lay a finger on the ice, a blast of ice hit Candlehead in her temple.
"Ow!" Candlehead shouted.
Candlehead turned to Nougetsia, who looked surprised.
"Nougetsia!" Candlehead yelled angrily.
Nougetsia shrugged.
"It wasn't me, Candlehead." Nougetsia said.
Candlehead became confused.
"But wait, if it wasn't you who hit me, then who was it?" Candlehead asked.
Nougetsia was about to reply, but then she screamed. The other Sugar Rush racers looked at Candlehead and gasped. Candlehead became confused and was about to ask what was wrong, but before she could, she felt something expand around her neck. Candlehead felt her neck, and her pupils shrank when she felt nothing but smooth ice. Then she looked at her hands and saw that they were turning to ice as well. She tried activating her fire powers, but nothing happened, and the other Sugar Rush racers could only watch in horror as Candlehead continued freezing. Candlehead began to scream in pain as she felt her whole body turn to ice, but after a moment, nothing came out because she finished freezing into an ice statue. In her ice statue form, Candlehead's face was hanging open and her eyes were wide with fright, and her arms were raised as if to shield herself.
"What's happened?" Candi asked in shock.
"I froze her." a voice replied.
The Sugar Rush racers turned to the source of the voice. It just so happened to be Frostbite Willow, who was in the ice reflection that was at the very end of the room. Frostbite Willow then made her way out of the ice reflection and stood in the room. She looked at the Sugar Rush racers and smiled, revealing her sharp ice pick teeth.
"Hello, Sugar Rush racers." Frostbite Willow greeted.
The Sugar Rush racers glared at her.
"Frostbite Willow!" Gloyd growled.
Taffyta stepped up.
"Let her go!" Taffyta ordered angrily.
Frostbite Willow grinned.
"Yeah, about that, I can't let her go. You see, if I let her go, then she'll try to help you save the arcade. So, it's best that I have her stay frozen. And once me and my allies are done with you, we'll take over the whole arcade. Me and the rest of the Frostbites will get people to look into Frosty Massif and release even more Frostbites, and we'll be able to freeze anyone that we want!" Frostbite Willow said.
"Not as long as we're here. We'll make sure that you never take over this game or any other game in the arcade!" Vanellope said.
"Alright, Vanellope. Let's see if you can back up your little threat." Frostbite Willow said.
Suddenly, a stream of licorice pieces slammed into Vanellope, and the licorice stream sent Vanellope flying back onto the ground. Jubileena and Citrusella gasped, and they helped Vanellope up.
"Vanellope, are you alright?" Jubileena asked.
Vanellope groaned and rubbed her head.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just dazed." Vanellope replied.
The Sugar Rush racers then looked over at Frostbite Willow, and they saw that Licortwist and Creamy had entered the room through a hole that Licortwist had used the licorice pieces to make, and the hole happened to lead out of Frosty Massif.
"Hello, guys." Creamy greeted. She then looked at Rancis and greeted "And hello, Rancy.".
The Sugar Rush racers glared at Licortwist and Creamy.
"Licortwist and Creamy, you guys are in trouble for the problems that you've caused in this arcade. Your coming with us, or your going to have to suffer serious consequences." Vanellope said.
Licortwist and Creamy laughed.
"Do you really think that we'll listen to you?" Creamy asked.
Vanellope glared at her.
"No, I don't, Creamy. But you and Licortwist are still coming with us, and the Frostbites are staying here." Vanellope replied.
Licortwist shook his head.
"No, we aren't, Vanellope. And there's nothing that you are going to do about that." Licortwist said.
Rancis frowned.
"Give up, guys. We outnumber you sixteen to three." Rancis said angrily.
Licortwist, Creamy, and Frostbite Willow grinned in response.
"Oh no, dear brother. It is you who is outnumbered." Creamy said.
Frostbite Willow snapped her fingers. As soon as she did, a lot of the Frostbites jumped out of the ice reflection. Not all of them showed up, but Frostbite Willow summoned just enough Frostbites to cause enough trouble for the Sugar Rush racers.
"Ciao, sister. You called?" Frostbite Wynter asked.
Frostbite Willow pointed at the Sugar Rush racers.
"Get them! Use anything necessary if you have to in order to achieve your goal." Frostbite Willow ordered.
The Frostbites laughed maniacally and charged towards the Sugar Rush racers, while Licortwist, Creamy, Frostbite Willow, and Frostbite Wynter stayed behind and watched. Meanwhile, the Sugar Rush racers charged towards the Frostbites, their powers activated.
"This ends now, Frostbites!" Citrusella exclaimed.
The Sugar Rush racers started fighting the Frostbites. Several Frostbite wolves tried biting Jubileena, but she dodged the attacks and immediately generated seven cherry bombs that she threw at the seven Frostbite wolves, causing them to shatter upon impact.
Snowanna was being cornered by five Frostbite elves and six Frostbite wolves, who grinned sinisterly as they attempted to freeze her. However, Snowanna took out her guitar and unleashed a massive sound wave that blasted the five Frostbite elves. The Frostbite elves cried out in pain as their bodies stung and their ears rang, while the six Frostbite wolves took off.
The six Frostbite wolves attempted to flee. However, Vanellope glitched in front of the fleeing Frostbite wolves.
"Not so fast!" Vanellope shouted.
Vanellope shot a blast of pixels, which caused the six Frostbite wolves to shatter into a million pieces. However, she didn't notice Frostbite Vanellope charging towards her from behind, her hand transformed into an ice pitchfork.
"Vanellope, watch out!" Rancis shouted.
Vanellope spun around just in time to see Frostbite Vanellope reach her. Frostbite Vanellope stabbed forward, and Vanellope just barely managed to dodge the ice pitchfork. Frostbite Vanellope turned her other arm into a sword and raced forward, slashing and stabbing at Vanellope wildly, but the president dodged all of the attacks effortlessly. Screaming angrily, Frostbite Vanellope tackled her counterpart to the ground.
"Any last words?" Frostbite Vanellope asked, raising her blade and preparing to stab Vanellope.
Vanellope smirked.
"Yeah, I do. You guys should really stop talking once in a while." Vanellope replied.
With that, Vanellope glitched behind Frostbite Vanellope and blasted her with a blast of pixels. All that was heard were Frostbite Vanellope's screams as she shattered apart.
Frostbite Rancis blasted an ice blast out of his mouth that went towards Rancis. However, Rancis spat out a spray of toxic sugar waste at at his counterpart at the same time. The sugar waste burned away the ice and scorched Frostbite Rancis's face. Rancis sighed in relief as Frostbite Rancis screamed as he burned away.
Minty stood in front of the ice statue that Candlehead was frozen inside. Minty began hitting the ice statue with her fists to break it open.
"Hang on, Candlehead. I'll get you out." Minty said as she kept hitting the ice statue with her fists, slowly chipping away at it.
Unfortunately, Frostbite Artie noticed the Apple Toffee themed racer. He snarled and advanced towards her. Minty stopped hitting the ice and yelped as she ran around the ice statue to avoid Frostbite Artie as the Frostbite bear ran around the ice statue as well to catch the racer. Frostbite Artie eventually caught up to Minty and prepared to strike her. However, before he could strike her with his claws, he was suddenly hit with a green blast of energy, and Frostbite Artie turned to see Swizzle holding his arm at him.
"Normally, I'm opposed to cruelty of any sort. But I will not let some snow bear tear apart my friends." Swizzle said.
Frostbite Artie lunged at Swizzle, but then Adorabeelze ran towards him and slashed Frostbite Artie across the face with her claws, knocking him down, and Minty continued trying to free Candlehead. While Minty tried to break Candlehead out of the ice, she didn't seem to be making much progress. Finally, she raised her hands farther back and then took a mighty swing, and once her hands hit the ice statue, it began to crack and then shattered into pieces, falling apart with Candlehead landing among the ice chunks.
"Candlehead!" Minty cried.
Minty helped Candlehead, who stood stiffly in place as if she were still frozen, to her feet. She then brushed the ice bits off of Candlehead's jacket and straightened her candle.
"Come on, Candlehead, say something!" Minty frantically exclaimed.
Candlehead began to respond as she held her arms and shivered while chattering her teeth.
"M-M-M-Minty! You... you rescued me." Candlehead managed to say with a weak smile while shivering.
"Of course I did. You would do the same for us." Minty said with a warm smile.
Candlehead responded by hugging Minty with a joyous smile.
Meanwhile, Candi was fighting three Frostbite elves. One of the Frostbite elves tried freezing her, but Candi dodged his attempts before placing her hands on him. The Frostbite elf hardened into a cookie statue, and Candi had the Frostbite elf cookie statue levitate in the air before she threw it at the remaining two Frostbite elves, who shattered upon impact. However, as Candi finished fighting the three Frostbite elves, an ice beam shot towards Candi. She gasped and ducked, and the ice beam struck the wall that was behind Candi. Instantly, the wall turned to ice. Candi then spun around to see Frostbite Candi.
"What the heck! Your supposed to be dead! Candlehead completely incinerated you!" Candi said in shock.
Frostbite Candi smirked.
"Well, like you and the other characters of this arcade, we Frostbites can also regenerate in our game" Frostbite Candi said.
Frostbite Candi then shot Candi in the chest with a blast of snow before she could react. Frostbite Candi smirked as Candi laid on the ground, her body transforming into ice.
"Looks like someone needs to cool off!" Frostbite Candi said.
Frostbite Candi advanced towards Candi, her hand transformed into a claw.
"Stay cool." Frostbite Candi sneered.
Frostbite Candi then brought the claw down on Candi. However, Candlehead ran up and breathed out a blast of fire that burned Frostbite Candi's claw off.
"Ah!" Frostbite Candi cried as her hand burned away to a small icy stump.
Candlehead kicked Frostbite Candi down.
"You know what your problem is, Frostbite Candi? You just don't know when to stop terrorizing people that you know you can't beat!" Candlehead snapped.
With that, Candlehead fired another blast right into Frostbite Candi's face, which burned her away completely. She then used her fire powers to thaw Candi.
Eventually, the Sugar Rush racers had defeated all of the Frostbites that had shown up, and they turned to Licortwist, Creamy, Frostbite Willow, and Frostbite Wynter.
"Is that seriously the best that you got?" Taffyta asked.
Frostbite Willow shook her head.
"Oh no, Taffyta. That was just the beginning of what I'm sending to fight you. And the Frostbites that you just fought are easy compared to who your going to have to deal with now." Frostbite Willow replied.
Frostbite Willow snapped her fingers. As soon as she did, another Frostbite jumped out of the ice reflection. The Sugar Rush racers gasped at which Frostbite they saw, while Licortwist, Creamy, Frostbite Willow, and Frostbite Wynter grinned evilly.
There, standing in front of him, was the gigantic Frostbite Snowman.
The Sugar Rush racers stared at Frostbite Snowman in shock, their mouths hanging open.
"Oh, frostbite." Taffyta whispered.
