Chapter 11: Frostbite Snowman
Frostbite Snowman stared at the Sugar Rush racers. For a moment, the giant ice yeti just stared down at the sixteen racrs, who stared back, frozen in fear. The only sound was the heavy breathing coming from the Frostbite Snowman and frost that billowed out of his mouth as he breathed.
Then, his mouth widened and a blast of ice shot out of his mouth at Sticky. Minty, with the speed of a cheetah, grabbed Sticky by the collar and dragged her out of harms way. Frostbite Snowman threw his head back and roared, and ice shot out of his mouth up into the air and exploded before shards of ice rained down at the Sugar Rush racers.
Torvald screamed in horror, and she and the other Sugar Rush racers dodged the ice shards. It took every ounce of speed and agility for the sixteen racers to avoid the hundreds of giant shards as they flew down from the ceiling towards them.
THUNK!
One ice shard stabbed down in front of Nougetsia. She gasped in horror and ran left.
THUNK!
Another ice shard fell down and narrowly missed Gloyd's face. He stumbled to the ground and a third shard stabbed into his sleeve. Instantly, his sleeve turned to ice, but went no farther.
"Those shards! They turn what it touches into ice!" Gloyd shouted.
"I can see that!" Crumbelina shouted as an ice shard stabbed into the ground in front of her.
Indeed, the ground was starting to turn to ice as all of the ice shards stabbed into it. But luckily, all of the ice shards had hit the ground and no more were falling. However, Frostbite Snowman charged towards the Sugar Rush racers.
He ran towards Candi and Crumbelina and swung his giant fists at them, barley missing, and roared angrily. Crumbelina shot a blast of caramel whip at Frostbite Snowman, and the caramel whip latched onto Frostbite Snowman's waist before hardening. Candi then lifted Frostbite Snowman into the air before releasing him, and Frostbite Snowman fell to the ground. Candi and Crumbelina then attempted to finish Frostbite Snowman off, but Frostbite Snowman broke out of the caramel whip and swatted Candi and Crumbelina away like ragdolls.
Adorabeezle charged straight at Frostbite Snowman. Frostbite Snowman transformed his right claw into an ice blade and swung it at Adorabeezle's head, but before the ice blade made contact with her, Adorabeezle grabbed Frostbite Snowman's right wrist with her left hand. Being two feet taller then Adorabeezle in her snow beast form, Frostbite Snowman was surprised at the strength that Adorabeezle exerted to prevent him from moving his ice blade. Frostbite Snowman then tried a new attack by punching towards Adorabeezle with his left claw. However, Adorabeezle stopped the punch in motion with her right palm. Both Adorabeezle and Frostbite Snowman gritted their teeth due to the position that Adorabeezle's grip had locked them into. Frostbite Snowman eventually resolved their positional stalemate with a powerful headbutt that caused Adorabeezle to stumble back into the wall that was behind her. The wall cracked at Adorabeezle's impact before she slipped onto her rear.
Frostbite Snowman then lumbered towards the other Sugar Rush racers. They all readied their powers and charged towards Frostbite Snowman. Frostbite Snowman swung his fist at Taffyta, which she dodged. Frostbite Snowman's fist slammed into the ground as Taffyta jumped over him and was about to kick his head. However, before she could, Frostbite Snowman grabbed Taffyta's leg before it made contact and swung her at Jubileena and Snowanna, and the three of them got knocked into a wall as Candlehead flew towards Frostbite Snowman.
"Candlehead to the rescue!" Candlehead shouted.
Before Candlehead could hit Frostbite Snowman, the ice yeti fired an ice beam that hit Candlehead in the abdomen. Candlehead crashed through the gate and landed a few rooms away.
"I'm okay." Candlehead called out.
Baymax looked back at Taffyta, Jubileena, Snowanna, and the rest of the Sugar Rush racers, and started lumbering towards them again. Taffyta, Jubileena, and Snowanna recovered, and they and the other Sugar Rush racersran towards Frostbite Snowman again, but this time, they were more ready. Taffyta slid under Frostbite Snowman while Sticky threw two marshmallow orbs at Frostbite Snowman's feet, making them stick to the ground. Taking the opportunity, Taffyta jumped onto an ice ramp, spun, stretched her arm out, and punched Frostbite Snowman's head. The fist made Frostbite Snowman break from the marshmallow orb grip and slam into a wall that made him kneel on one knee.
Candlehead reentered the room and rejoined the other Sugar Rush racers as they began heading at Frostbite Snowman while he was stunned. Frostbite Snowman looked up and saw the incoming racers. He stood straight up and his claw transformed into an ice cannon. The Sugar Rush racers saw that and attempted to attack, but then the ice cannon activated, charged up, and shot a huge ice blast at the Sugar Rush racers, making them fly back. The Sugar Rush sat up slowly, looked at each other, and discussed their quick plan before Frostbite Snowman could get too close.
"Frostbite Snowman is too powerful." Minty said.
Taffyta looked at Frostbite Snowman and got an idea. She made a satisfied smirk and looked at the other Sugar Rush racers.
"We can't take Frostbite Snowman in a straight up fight. But I have a plan. Frostbite Snowman is so large and heavy that he walks and fights slow, right?" Taffyta asked.
The other Sugar Rush racers nodded.
"All we have to do is use that to our advantage. Jubileena and Adorabeezle could distract her while me and the others try to find a way to defeat him." Taffyta said.
The other Sugar Rush racers looked at each other and then back at Taffyta.
"Let's do it." they all said in unison.
The Sugar Rush racers stood up and got into battle positions. Jubileena and Adorabeezle ran to the right, while the rest of the Sugar Rush racers ran to the left. Jubileena and Adorabeezle began shouting to get Frostbite Snowman's attention.
"Hey! Over here, you oversized Marshmallow!" Jubileena called out.
"Yeah! Come on, you stupid Frostbite!" Adorabeezle shouted.
Frostbite Snowman transformed his claw into the ice cannon again and aimed it at Adorabeezle.
"Mommy!" Adorabeezle screamed.
Frostbite Snowman fired the ice cannon, and a ice blast went in her direction. The ice blast missed Adorabeezle and hit the wall that was next to her. Adorabeezle looked at the hole and then ran all around the room, screaming like a girl as Frostbite Snowman kept shooting at her. Swizzle went behind Frostbite Snowman when he wasn't looking and jumped onto his back. Swizzle had a marshmallow bomb that Sticky had given him and put it in Frostbite Snowman's ice cannon. The marshmallow bomb exploded and blew off the ice cannon from Frostbite Snowman's arm. Swizzle saw the other Sugar Rush racers from where he was behind Frostbite Snowman, and they nodded towards him, signaling for him to turn Frostbite Snowman around so Candlehead could blast him with fire. Swizzle grabbed a handful of snow and jumped on Frostbite Snowman's back once again. Swizzle put the snow over Frostbite Snowman's eyes so he couldn't see. The other Sugar Rush racers saw that as their chance, and Sticky generated a marshmallow bomb and Vanellope prepared to shoot blasts of pixels. Swizzle then used his psychic powers to turn Frostbite Snowman around.
"DO IT NOW!" Swizzle yelled.
Sticky threw the marshmallow bomb and Vanellope shot a huge blast of pixels directly after. Frostbite Snowman cleared his vision of the snow and pulled Swizzle off, throwing him at Candi. Frostbite Snowman looked back up at the incoming marshmallow bomb and blast of pixels, but before he could stop them, the marshmallow bomb hit him and stuck to his chest. The blast of pixels in contact with the marshmallow bomb and made it explode. Frostbite Snowman flew back, and Sticky trapped him in marshmallow whip that left him stuck on a wall.
"Candlehead, do it now!" Taffyta shouted as she jumped up and used the stay sweet move to kick Frostbite Snowman's head, knocking him on his back.
Candlehead nodded and she formed a green fireball. She then shot the fireball at Frostbite Snowman, and the fireball hit Frostbite Snowman and completely obliterated him.
The Sugar Rush racers sighed in relief, since they had successfully taken care of Frostbite Snowman. They then turned to where Licortwist, Creamy, Frostbite Willow, and Frostbite Wynter had been standing earlier, only to discover that they weren't there. They had left during the fight with Frostbite Snowman, and they had also taken the rest of the Frostbites with them. Candi groaned.
"Well, that's just great! Now we don't know where they've gone." Candi said.
Vanellope sighed and walked up to her friend.
"Don't worry, Candi. We'll find them." Vanellope said.
"How? In case if you've forgot, they haven't left any trace of their departure." Candi asked.
Vanellope thought about it. She then looked down and noticed a couple of licorice pieces that had been left behind. Vanellope grinned, grabbed one of the licorice pieces, and put it in a dish that she had in her hoodie's pocket.
"Perfect. We can use this licorice piece to track Licortwist, Creamy, and the rest of the Frostbites." Vanellope said.
"And why would we do that?" Snowanna asked.
"That's because the licorice pieces are attracted to the other licorice pieces. We'll follow this right to where Licortwist, Creamy, and the Frostbites." Vanellope replied.
The Sugar Rush racers nodded in agreement, and they and Vanellope left Frosty Massif through the hole that Licortwist had made.
