Chapter 26: Licortwist, Steven, And Tabitha
Meanwhile, Licortwist and Steven were making their way through the Candy-Tree Forest. Licortwist was on top of the licorice pieces, while Steven was on a platform of licorice pieces, which were wrapped securely around his feet and lower legs.
"So, once we're out of this forest, we'll head to Diet Cola Mountain and grab the portal. Then, we'll head to the game Hero's Duty and pick up the last metal scrap that we need for the portal, and then we'll head back here and use the portal for my revenge on the Sugar Rush racers." Licortwist explained.
"How are we going to use the portal for your revenge?" Steven asked.
Licortwist had the licorice pieces turn Steven so he was facing him.
"As you know, the portal is uncomplete. After we get the last metal scrap from Hero's Duty, we're going to put it on the portal. Once all the pieces of the portal are in place, it should be time for Sour Bill to make a speech at the castle. We come in... I'd hold the portal up while you defend... and put the portal pieces together, causing this entire game to be torn up and disappear into the portal, which will immediately destroy the different pieces of this game by disintegrating them into tiny particles." Licortwist replied.
Steven smiled.
"That sounds great." Steven said.
Just then, a figure zipped past Licortwist and Steven, and vanished into the forest. Steven turned to Licortwist.
"Wait, I thought that we got beat up all of the Nightmare racers. Did we miss one?" Steven asked.
Licortwist was about to reply, but then another voice spoke up.
"No, you didn't miss one of us. I just wasn't part of the ambush." the voice replied.
Licortwist and Steven turned around to see Tabitha.
"Who are you?" Licortwist asked.
Tabitha smirked.
"My name is Tabitha Morton, and I want to join you." Tabitha replied.
Licortwist and Steven raised an eyebrow.
"You want to join us? Why?" Licortwist asked.
Tabitha frowned.
"Because I was watching you when you two and the Frostbites beat up the other Nightmare racers. I also overheard you saying that you want revenge on the Sugar Rush racers, who I've had bad experiences with as well, so I want to help you." Tabitha replied.
Licortwist thought about it and then he turned to Steven. Steven nodded, and Licortwist turned back to Tabitha.
"Okay, you can help us." Licortwist said.
Tabitha smirked.
"Great. So, what should I do?" Tabitha asked.
Licortwist thought about it, and then got an idea.
"Tabitha, we just recently left Horror Rush, where the racers and Cinndon attacked. We need you to head into Horror Rush and deal with the racers while me and Steven get something from the game Hero's Duty. Once your done, come find us." Licortwist replied.
Tabitha nodded and started running towards Horror Rush. Meanwhile, Licortwist and Steven headed out of the Candy-Tree Forest. Once they were out, they headed back to Diet Cola Mountain, where Licortwist found the portal, where he had left it. He then had the licorice pieces pick it up before having them bring him and Steven out of Sugar Rush.
