Chapter 28: Hero's Duty

Meanwhile, Licortwist and Steven headed out of Sugar Rush and reentered Game Central Station. After they did, they headed towards the Hero's Duty game portal and headed inside. They entered Hero's Duty and then looked around.

"So, where do we go now?" Steven asked.

Licortwist looked around before spotting the tower, and he pointed at it.

"There. We go to that tower." Licortwist replied.

Steven nodded, and the two of them started heading towards the tower, with the licorice pieces carrying them and the portal. However, unknown to Licortwist and Steven, one of the Hero's Duty soldiers had been watching them from a trench.

"I better tell the Sergeant about this." the soldier, who was a corporal named Red Pallet, whispered.

Pallet then ran off.


Thirty minutes later, the Sugar Rush racers and Cinndon exited Sugar Rush's game portal and entered Game Central Station.

"Alright, guys, think about what game Licortwist and Steven could have went in." Vanellope said.

The Sugar Rush racers and Cinndon looked around.

"Well, if Licortwist and Steven have that ring structure like thing with them, then they would most likely be somewhere that has metal." Adorabeezle said.

Just then, Vanellope felt her skirt's pocket vibrate. She took out her candy walkie-talkie and answered it.

"Hello?" Vanellope asked.

"Vanellope, is that you?" a voice asked.

It was Tamora. Vanellope nodded.

"Yeah, it's me. What's wrong?" Vanellope asked.

"One of my soldiers saw Licortwist and Steven enter Hero's Duty and start heading to the tower with some sort of ring structure about thirty minutes ago." Tamora replied.

Vanellope nodded.

"Alright, we're coming." Vanellope said.

Vanellope then turned off the walkie-talkie and put it back in her skirt's pocket.

"Who was that?" Candi asked.

Vanellope turned to the Sugar Rush racers and Cinndon.

"That was Tamora. She said that one of her soldiers saw Licortwist and Steven in Hero's Duty, and they are heading to the tower with the ring structure." Vanellope replied.

"Well then, let's go after them! We need to put an end to this." Rancis said.

Vanellope nodded, and she, the Sugar Rush racers, and Cinndon made their way over to the Hero's Duty game portal and headed inside.
