This idea also came from Jac Bandit. Seriously, go give the dude lots of love! He's amazing!

Also, hint at the end for you, Jac. Hint at the end for you. :3

Victims 7 & 8: ABC Web

Seems some of the other racers actually managed to stay together in pairs or trios. At least everybody isn't solo. That would make this game even longer than it already is.

Not that Turbo would mind that, I bet.

The next two I ended up following were Snowanna Rainbeau and Crumbelina DiCaramello. I have no idea how those two ended up together. They just did somehow.

Not that it'll matter shortly…

.o.o.o.o.

"Oh, this is so not cool!" Snowanna complained, scampering along through the candy cane forest. "I hope Jubileena and Aborabeezle are okay!"

"I'm sure they're fine, so relax. We've got bigger problems…like trying to keep ourselves alive!" Crumbelina reminded, looking over her shoulder hesitantly.

"I can't believe that…thing…ate Vanellope!" Snowanna cried hysterically. "I mean, isn't he dead? Didn't he die? Why is he still alive?!"

"Don't know, don't care," Crumbelina said shortly, scampering past Snowanna. "I'm trying to survive here. You panic if you want. I'm gonna keep moving!"

Snowanna stopped, staring after the other racer. Then she jumped, dashing quickly after Crumbelina. Crumbelina didn't even slow down for her, continuing to walk at a quick clip. Snowanna whimpered, dashing alongside her.

"You think we can get out of here?" she asked nervously.

"I'm sure gonna try," Crumbelina said firmly, staring straight ahead with determination. "I'm not sitting around, waiting to become lunch. If I'm going down, that overgrown bug will have to work to eat me!"

"I don't want to get eaten!" Snowanna whined, scrubbing tears from her cheeks.

"Then keep moving and quit crying," Crumbelina advised coldly. "Tears won't make that guy stop. We're being hunted. If we can find the edge of the forest, we can find a way out and get some help."

"Really?" Snowanna asked hopefully.

"Won't know until we try. I'm sure not giving up," Crumbelina declared.

The pair walked for a long time in that one direction. Candy cane trees bordered their path with few breaks in-between them. There was no sign of other racers, the edge of the forest, or Turbo.

Until they heard a familiar sugar-sweet monarch's laugh.

"Where, oh where, could some yummy racers be? Ahoohoo!"

Snowanna and Crumbelina looked at each other in panic. They knew Turbo was close but where, they weren't sure. Standing still wouldn't help. They were sitting peeps!

SPLASH!

"Ew! My 'fro!" Snowanna complained, wiping sticky goop from her hair.

"Keep it down! He'll hear us!" Crumbelina hissed, glaring at her.

"Hear you? I can do more than that, kiddoes!"

Both girls froze before looking up. Turbo was perched on the branches overhead, a toothy grin crossing his face. He stuck out his tongue, thick saliva coating it. After a moment, Snowanna screamed in disgust and tried to get the rest of it out of her hair. Crumbelina never let her, dragging her out into the forest as she broke into a run.

"Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't escape me, I'm the fastest racer in this arcade!" Turbo sang merrily, dropping down from the trees and chasing them.

Snowanna screamed, struggling to keep up with Crumbelina's swift pace. The other dragged the afro racer behind her, too intent on running to dare look back. They both already knew from the heavy crashing and mad laughter that they were being chased by the cybrid. No need to make it worse by looking back to see him chasing them!

The candy cane trees suddenly parted, revealing a few chocolate trees with marshmallow fluff growing from their tops. The ground became a strange mix of marshmallows and jujubes. With every step they took on this new ground, they bounced slightly.

"This is bad terrain to run on!" Crumbelina growled, struggling to keep up her speed.

"LOOK OUT!" Snowanna screamed as Turbo got close enough to swipe at them.

Crumbelina made a massive mistake—she looked behind her instead of in front of her.

Their world suddenly turned upside-down…

And stayed that way…

Turbo came to a stop, smirking. "Well, well, well! It looks like my trap-making skills are up to par, after all. First I did Candy Barf pits and now this! I think more traps are in order…"

"…C-Crumbelina?" Snowanna whimpered. "Why are we stuck upside-down?"

The cinnamon bun-themed racer tried to pull her arms close, only for them to stick to…whatever they were on. Twisting her head around caused her hair to be yanked painfully. Her legs were stuck flat, too. After a bit of thinking, the answer hit her.

"Bubblegum."

"Bubblegum?" Snowanna repeated, eyes wide in shock. Then it became disgust. "Ew! Not in my hair! Ugh!"

Where'd he get this much gum? And how'd he make this huge…web? Crumbelina thought, struggling to get free.

"Those jujubes were turbo-tastic springboards!" Turbo declared, leering down at them. "Best of all, you never saw it coming! Had you kept looking forward, you might've seen the webs coming and managed to avoid them!"

"Fudge!" Crumbelina cursed, glaring at Snowanna.

"What?! He was gonna hit us!" the afro racer wailed, fresh tears welling in her eyes.

"And you want to know what's worse?" Turbo taunted, leaning close to the two upside-down girls. "All the gum in Sugar Rush either comes in gumballs, sticks, or cubes. How could I have possibly fashioned a web out of sticky gum?"

Crumbelina looked baffled…then shocked…then disgusted…

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! GROOOOOOOOOOSS!" she screamed, struggles beginning anew.

"What? What?!" Snowanna yelped, terrified.

"It's ABC gum! He stuck us in a web of ABC gum!" Crumbelina shrieked.

"EEEEEEEWWWW! No, no, no! Gross! And it's in my hair! Ugh!" Snowanna cried.

In case you don't know, ABC gum is probably the most disgusting thing imaginable. ABC is code for 'already been chewed'. ABC gum is already been chewed gum, a.k.a. gum that somebody has chewed and then spat out for various reasons.

Crumbelina and Snowanna were stuck in a web of the stuff…chewed by our resident cybrid…

"You can thank me for all the effort later," Turbo said triumphantly. "…Oh, wait! You'll be in my stomach by then. Never mind!"

Plucking Snowanna from the web, tearing a hole in it in the process, he held her in front of him to deliver a long lick to her multicolored afro. Snowanna cried out in disgust. The cybrid pulled away, licking his teeth.

"Mmmmm! It does taste like a snow cone!" he commented. "I should save you for later…but I already have frozen yogurt saved for that!"

He's got Nougetsia? Crumbelina thought fearfully. Just how many of us has he already eaten?!

"Please don't eat me! Please! I don't want to die!" Snowanna sobbed, hands clasped in front of her.

"Hmmm…" Turbo tapped his chin in thought. "…I hope that stick in your hair doesn't choke me. That wouldn't be good."

Snowanna gave a loud scream when she was tossed up suddenly. She was abruptly snapped from the air by the cybrid, vanishing in an instant within his jaws. Turbo swallowed, licking his lips of the fruity snow cone flavor. Then he shivered heavily.

"Ugh… Cold! Thank mod, I don't have a brain freeze from that!" Turbo complained, rubbing his upper arms to dispel the shivers.

Crumbelina felt her stomach drop down—err, up—to her feet. Turbo had shown no mercy whatsoever to the afro racer. None at all.

We're all doomed, she realized hopelessly.

"Now then, how about a cinnamon bun?" Turbo commented, plucking her off of the net. "Awww! Now I have to chew more gum to fix those holes. Those webs are hard to make, you know!"

"Sir, if there's anything I can do to convince you not to eat me… Just please!" Crumbelina begged weakly.

"Sorry, kid, but I'm too hungry to pass up a potential meal. The glitch wasn't enough to fill me up," Turbo said, patting his stomach for emphasis. "So I'm just going to keep eating you brats until I'm full. Who knows when that will be, though?"

"Sir, please don't!" Crumbelina squeaked, curling in on herself in terror.

She was popped into his mouth like a Bon-Bon, caught between sharp teeth and slimy tongue. She clawed her way along the slick appendage, trying to get back out. The teeth chomped but seemed to intentionally not crush her. She coughed, choking on the hot breath crashing into her from his throat.

Maybe I can grab that uvul…ovul…ewvol… The dangling thing in his throat! He can't swallow me then, ri—

Crumbelina's thoughts were broken when she was abruptly swallowed down. She had no time to cry out or make a grab for Turbo's uvula. She simply slid down his tongue and into his throat. There was no way out…

Turbo smirked, licking his lips. "Mmmm! Snow cones and cinnamon buns! So sweet…"

He trotted away, humming a happy tune under his breath. All the marshmallow fluff was making him hungry for marshmallows, oddly enough.

Maybe that called for a smore…?

.o.o.o.o.

…That was disgusting. Not as bad as getting your tongue sneezed on, but it was disgusting nonetheless. ABC gum… Ugh!

Rules of Survival #6: Watch where you're going, especially if your surroundings suddenly change. Beware of jujubes!

Seriously, ABC gum! Can it get any worse? That's the most disgusting thing on the face of the planet! How could Turbo do that? Ugh!

Please don't let me end up in an ABC gum web…

Please, mod, no…

This is Pepper Swirlminta…signing off…

Ugh…
