Chapter 12: The Second Attack On The Arcade

Meanwhile, back in Game Central Station, the game characters had returned and continued doing whatever they wanted because they thought that Licortwist and Creamy were not going to be a problem anymore, but Surge Protector still kept the Santa's Sled game portal shut. Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo left their games, grouped up, and then started heading towards Sugar Rush in order to visit Vanellope and the other Sugar Rush racers. However, they hadn't heard about Licortwist and Creamy escaping out of Sugar Rush and going into Santa's Sled or the Sugar Rush racers gaining powers because they had been in their games the whole time.

However, just as Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo reached Sugar Rush's game portal, the whole station grew silent because there was a faint rumble that was getting louder and louder. Every game character looked towards Santa's Sled as the game portal's gate burst open and nearly every single Santa's Sled character came charging out of the outlet, nearly wrecking into everyone.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF MOD IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?" Surge asked them angrily for the destruction.

Willow looked at Surge Protector, visibly shaking.

"Th-they're coming! They're all coming! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Willow replied frantically.

The other Santa's Sled characters nodded slowly. Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo walked over.

"Whoa, slow it down, guys. What's coming?" Ralph asked.

Mr. Short slowly put his hand up and pointed behind them.

"THOSE!" Mr. Short replied.

All of a sudden, the Santa's Sled game portal's gate exploded. The Frostbites poured out from the opening and into Game Central Station. Mass pandemonium ensued for the second time that day as game characters tried desperately to get into their games for safety. Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo fought off as many of the Frostbites as they could.

Turbo transformed into his Turbug form and bashed a Frostbite elf with his tail, obliterating him. A Frostbite wolf attempted to sneak up and bite Turbo, but then Tamora blasted the Frostbite wolf with her machine gun. Ralph punched several Frostbite elves and three Frostbite yetis, while Felix stayed behind, since his hammer was no good in battles.

It was at that time that a voice boomed over the air.

"STOP!" the voice yelled.

The Frostbites stopped what they were doing, and Frostbite Candlehead formed giant frozen stalagmites that burst from the ground and blocked the entrances to all of the games. Everyone stood in fear as the licorice pieces swarmed out of the Santa's Sled game portal, carrying Licortwist, Creamy, and Frostbite Willow.

"No way." Tamora sputtered out as her machine rifle hit the ground with a loud clang.

Licortwist, Creamy, and Frostbite Willow grinned evilly, and Licortwist had the licorice pieces raise him higher into the air before pulling out a licorice megaphone.

"MISS ME, CORE 4? I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I HAVEN'T MISSED YOU. BUT I CAN ALSO ASSURE YOU THAT YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME, CREAMY, AND THE FROSTBITES! YOU THOUGHT THAT I WAS IMPRISONED, BUT LOOK AT ME NOW! SO, HAVE FUN BECAUSE MOD KNOWS THAT ME AND MY ALLIES WILL! SOON, THIS ARCADE WILL BE MINE!" Licortwist shouted through the megaphone.

Frostbite Willow then signaled the Frostbites to attack. After she did, Licortwist had the licorice pieces bring him, Creamy, and Frostbite Willow to where Dead Space: Rise Of Evil was located. When they reached the Dead Space: Rise Of Evil game portal, Frostbite Willow made another signal. When she did, Frostbite Wynter, the Sugar Rush racers's Frostbites (except Frostbite Vanellope, Frostbite Rancis, and Frostbite Candi), Frostbite Rudolph, Frostbite Adolf, and some of the Frostbites ran over to them.

"What is it, Willow?" Frostbite Rudolph asked.

Frostbite Willow pointed at the entrance to Dead Space: Rise Of Evil.

"Guys, you are coming with me, Creamy, and Licortwist into Dead Space: Rise Of Evil. We'll need a considerable force in order to convince Steven to join our cause. The other Frostbites will continue the attack and try to capture enemies while we're in here." Frostbite Willow replied.

Frostbite Wynter, the Sugar Rush racers's Frostbites, Frostbite Rudolph, Frostbite Adolf, and the Frostbites that had showed up nodded, and they, Licortwist, Creamy, and Frostbite Willow entered the Dead Space: Rise Of Evil game portal.

Meanwhile, the Sugar Rush racers exited Santa's Sled and entered Game Central Station. By now, the Frostbites that had been in Game Central Station had spread out and had captured many of the game characters. Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo had tried to help as many game characters as they could, but there had just been too many Frostbites. But fortunately, they had avoided capture and remained in Game Central Station. The Sugar Rush racers ran up to Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo, who were surprised to see the Sugar Rush racers.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" Ralph asked.

Vanellope briefly explained to Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo how Licortwist and Creamy had escaped from the fungeon before leaving Sugar Rush, how she had modified her and the Sugar Rush racers code boxes so they gained their powers in order to stop Licortwist and Creamy, and everything else.

"So now, we're tracking Licortwist, Creamy, and the Frostbites with this licorice piece. When we find them, we're going to take care of this, once and for all." Vanellope explained.

Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo nodded.

"Okay. Do you want us to help you?" Felix asked.

Vanellope thought about it and then shook her head.

"No, I think that we're good on our own. However, there is one thing that you could help us with. Go back to your games and notify us if Licortwist, Creamy, and the Frostbites enter your games." Vanellope replied.

Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo nodded again. Vanellope took out four candy walkie-talkies and gave the walkie-talkies to them. Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo then headed back to their games. Meanwhile, Vanellope continued to lead the Sugar Rush racers to where the licorice piece that was in the dish was trying to go. Eventually, the licorice piece led them to the Dead Space: Rise Of Evil game portal. Adorabeezle gasped in horror.

"They went in Dead Space: Rise Of Evil?" Adorabeezle asked.

Vanellope nodded.

"Yep, it looks like it. Let's go." Vanellope replied.

"But it's scary in there. Do we really need to go in there." Adorabeezle asked.

Nougetsia sighed and placed a hand on her younger sister's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Adorabezle. We'll be fine in there. After all, you have your snow beast form, I have ice powers, and the other racers have their powers. I'm sure that we can protect ourselves in there." Nougetsia replied.

Adorabeezle thought about it and then slowly nodded. Nougetsia smiled and patted her shoulder.

"That a girl." Nougetsia said encouragingly.

Vanellope then led the Sugar Rush racers into the Dead Space: Rise Of Evil game portal.
