Chapter 18: The Sugar Rush Racers Vs The Necromorphs
The Sugar Rush racers had expected to enter a room that Licortwist, Creamy, the Frostbites, and Steven were in. However, they were wrong again. They came across two hallways. Both hallways ran either left or right, and they seemed to go on forever.
"Um, where now?" Rancis asked.
Vanellope took out the dish and looked at it. But this time, the licorice piece wasn't moving. Vanellope sighed and put the dish back in her pocket.
"We'll just have to go in a random direction." Vanellope replied.
The Sugar Rush racers nodded, and Vanellope led them down the hallway that went left. They cautiously made their way down the hallway, but after five minutes, Vanellope paused, and the Sugar Rush racers stopped walking. Vanellope had heard a bunch of different voices. She walked over to a door that was on her right, and the Sugar Rush racers followed her. Vanellope's eyes narrowed as she slowly got closer to the door and she took a minute to regain her thoughts before she and the Sugar Rush racers stepped into the room.
Licortwist could sense Vanellope and the other Sugar Rush racers before they even stepped into the room, so it wasn't a surprise when the Sugar Rush racers stepped through the door and found themselves in a room that was full of Frostbites and necromorphs, as well as himself, Creamy, and Steven. He smiled, not turning to face them yet.
"Hello, Vanellope von Schweetz and the other racers." Licortwist greeted.
Licortwist heard Vanellope and the other Sugar Rush racers freeze. He then turned to face them.
"Did you have a fun time getting here?" Licortwist asked sarcastically.
Vanellope and the Sugar Rush racers glared at him.
"That wasn't funny, Licortwist." Taffyta snapped.
Licortwist frowned.
"Well, anyway, you shouldn't have come here if you didn't want to die. But since your here, me and my allies might as well get rid of you. And since your outside of your game, you all thankfully won't regenerate." Licortwist said. He then turned to the Frostbites and necromorphs and ordered "Attack!".
The Frostbites and necromorphs got up and charged at the Sugar Rush racers. The Sugar Rush racers activated their powers and started fighting the Frostbites and necromorphs.
Vanellope shot a blast of pixels at one Slasher necromorph, sending it flying a few feet away. Candlehead set a Frostbite elf on fire with a fireball and then shot a blast of fire that burned a Frostbite wolf. Rancis transformed a Divider necromorph into a toxic zombie and had it attack three Frostbite elves and two Exploder necromorphs. Jubileena released a couple of cherry bombs that obliterated two Frostbite yetis and one Puker necromorph. Vanellope glitched behind a group of three Frostbite elves.
"Behind you." Vanellope taunted.
When the first Frostbite elf spun around, she shot him with a blast of pixels, sending him flying into the two remaining Frostbite elves.
Minty hoisted a table that had been painted red and black into the air, and smashed it down on a particularly chubby Frostbite elf, knocking him out cold. She then used her fists to strike the oncoming waves of Frostbites and necromorphs.
Candi utilized her vast array of fighting moves, as well as her Caramel powers. She drop kicked Frostbite Tom into an Frostbite elf that was wielding an ice cane. She then blocked an attack from a Frostbite elf that had transformed his hand into an ice chainsaw by creating a hardened Caramel shield and then backhanded another Frostbite elf into the chainsaw wielding Frostbite elf.
Frostbite Short and two rather burly Frostbite elves glared at Vanellope, who was taking out a lot of Frostbites and necromorphs with her Glitch abilities, and they transformed their hands into ice batons.
"Merry Christmas, kid." Frostbtie Short sneered.
Frostbite Short charged at the unsuspecting Vanellope. Before she could react, he struck her over the head with the ice baton. Vanellope gasped in shock and crashed to the ground, clutching her sore head. Frostbite Short grinned manically and raised the baton to strike her again, but before he could, Rancis grabbed him with one of his tentacles and threw him into a wall.
"Stay away from my president!" Rancis ordered angrily.
The other two Frostbite elves charged towards Rancis, ice batons raised over their heads, but Snowanna and Torvald leaped into the fray. Snowanna released a sound wave from her guitar that threw one of the Frostbite elves away while Torvald had a butter clone rip apart the other Frostbite elf. The three Sugar Rush racers high-fived each other and then ran off to rejoin the fight.
Gloyd, Crumbelina, Citrusella, and Nougetsia were faced with two hundred Pack necromorphs. They charged at Gloyd, Crumbelina, Citrusella, and Nougetsia, who teamed up in order to deal with them. Gloyd released a bunch of pumpkin bombs and a couple of snap traps, Crumbelina shot molten Caramel, Citrusella sent off bolts of electric, and Nougetsia released a snowstorm, and their efforts destroyed the two hundred Pack necromorphs.
Adorabeezle executed a powerful leap towards the incoming Frostbites and necromorphs. She landed in the middle of the crowds of Frostbites and necromorphs, and the Frostbites and necromorphs that Adorabeezle did not squash or scatter on impact she began sweeping aside with powerful arm movements. Although she was twice their size, the Frostbites and necromorphs tried attacking Adorabeezle in response, as they still outnumbered her by the hundreds. However, any Frostbites or necromorphs that tried to attack Adorabeezle, she either bit with her sharp teeth, slashed with her claws, or promptly sent flying in all directions.
Taffyta twisted her body around a Slasher necromorph and crushed it. She then reached her arm out, grabbed a Frostbite elf that was a couple of feet away, and slammed him around before throwing him away. A Spitter necromorph shot acid at Taffyta, but Taffyta curled into a ball and rolled out of the way before she twisted her body around the Spitter necromorph and crushed it.
Swizz faced off against two Frostbite elves. They attempted to grab him, but Swizzle swung an arm at the two Frostbite elves, who stopped in their place as they began to levitate off the ground. Swizzle's eyes glowed bright, and a pulse came from within the boy's mind, blasting inside the two Frostbite elves. They cried out in pain as they could feel the insides of their heads slowly being forced outwards until, with a splat and a few loud thumps, their bodies laid on the ground.
Sticky faced off against three Stalker necromorphs. Sticky attempted to use a marshmallow bomb to blow up one of the Stalker necromorphs, but then the other two Stalker necromorphs charged at Sticky from alternate directions. Sticky gasped and, thinking quickly, threw a marshmallow orb onto the ground beneath her and encased herself in a marshmallow bubble. The two Stalker necromorphs tried to smash their thick skulls into the marshmallow bubble, but they bounced back. The two Stalker necromorphs flew through the air and into Adorabeezle's direction, who noticed them coming and slashed them with her claws.
Meanwhile, Licortwist gasped as his army was slowly getting defeated. He turned to Creamy, Frostbite Willow, Frostbite Wynter, the Sugar Rush racers's Frostbites, Frostbite Rudolph, Frostbite Adolf, and Steven (who hadn't participated in the fight).
"Guys, we're leaving the game and heading back to Sugar Rush." Licortwist said.
"Is that in order to get your revenge?" Frostbite Wynter asked.
Licortwist shook his head.
"No, we're going there in order to convince the Nightmare racers to help us. We'll then finish finding pieces for the portal, put it together, and then get our revenge on our enemies." Licortwist replied.
Everyone nodded, and they and Licortwist left the room. They headed to an elevator, got in it, and then headed back up to the main level of the abandoned laboratory. Once they were up, they went back to the room that had the ring structure, which was a portal that Licortwist was trying to make. When they were in the room, Licortwist ordered the licorice pieces to grab the unfinished portal, as well as Creamy, the Frostbites, and Steven, and head up an open shaft.
Meanwhile, back underground, the Sugar Rush racers finished fighting all of the Frostbites and necromorphs. They regrouped and noticed that Licortwist, Creamy, Frostbite Willow, Frostbite Wynter, the Sugar Rush racers's Frostbites, Frostbite Rudolph, Frostbite Adolf, and Steven had escaped during the battle.
"Okay, guys, we need to find them again." Vanellope said.
Taffyta huffed.
"Do we seriously need to do that again? They could be anywhere by now! Where could they have possibly gone?" Taffyta asked.
Citrusella thought about it, and then she gasped in horror.
"Oh no." Citrusella whispered.
The other Sugar Rush racers turned to her.
"What? What is it, sis?" Jubileena asked.
Citrusella looked up at everyone with a horrified expression.
"Do you guys remember Horror Rush?" Citrusella asked.
The other Sugar Rush racers nodded, wondering why Citrusella had asked that. But then they realized what Citrusella meant.
Licortwist, Creamy, Frostbite Willow, Frostbite Wynter, the Sugar Rush racers's Frostbites, Frostbite Rudolph, Frostbite Adolf, and Steven were going to try to convince the Nightmare racers to join them.
"Oh mod." Candlehead muttered.
The Sugar Rush Racers then ran out of the room, so they could find a way to get back up to the surface.
