Here's the next chapter

I hope you've enjoyed it

We'll see if in this chapter Rancis can survive a night or not

And to be clear these chapters were already written the only modifications I've made have been these notes at the beginning of the chapters and the ending of them

Now with all that said time to jump into this

Ch.4 Night 3: Dead In The Final Minutes

(A few hours after the ending of the last chapter)

Candlehead, Crumbelina and Snowanna would walk around the village.

"L-l-l-look h-h-how many are f-f-found when i-i-it's just 2 of them….h-h-how are we suppose to survive when there's 5?" Candlehead would be terrified as Crumbelina would hug her.

"It's ok Candles…we'll find a way…we're not her biggest targets….Taffyta and Rancis are…"

"But I was always by Taffyta's side…she'll be targeting me aswell!" Candlehead would cling tight to Crumbelina.

"Look…she won't find you…none of them will…I won't let that happen…"

Snowanna would see the shattered window of Minty's home. "Guys…I think I know where the slaughter took place…"

Candlehead and Crumbelina would turn to her. "Where?"

She'd approach the shattered window and look inside. "Oh god…" She'd vomit.

"What is it?" Crumbelina and Candlehead would look in and immediately see the bodies of Sticky and Minty and the blood all over the place.

"Maybe one of them is still alive? Maybe Sour Bill made a mistake?" Candlehead would turn to them as they'd reluctantly climb in.

Snowanna would walk down the basement stairs look at Swizzle who'd have several large stab wounds. "He'd didn't go quickly…nor painlessly…" She'd mutter then climb the stairs. "Swizzle never stood a chance…"

"Sticky didn't go quickly…and neither did Minty…" Crumbelina would state looking at the bodies.

"C-C-Crumbs?" Candlehead would call up from the second floor and Crumbelina would walk up.

"What's wrong?"

Candlehead would point to Rancis lying on the floor and Taffyta in the bedroom.

"Common…let's go…none of them were alive when Vanellope and Adorabeezle left the house…"

"Y-yea…" Candlehead would state as they'd climb out the broken window and join Snowanna who'd be vomiting again.

"…..That was not a pretty sight…" Snowanna would state as she'd wipe her mouth.

"Seems only Torvald made it out of the house…but she was quickly chased down…"

"I think we should rest up for a few hours before the "Game" recommences…" Crumbelina would state.

"Sure…" Snowanna would agree.

"Fine…I'm just gonna have nightmares anyway…" Candlehead would mutter as they'd walk away from Minty's house.

(Meanwhile)

Adorabeezle would rest as Vanellope would clean her sword as Sour Bill would walk in.

"You wished to see me your highness?"

Vanellope would turn to him. "Yes…I need you to alter the codes of Jubileena, Nougetsia and Citrusella…to make them loyal to me and alter their memories of me killing them and change it into some of the racers if possible…"

Sour Bill would bow. "I'll get to work…" He'd run out as Vanellope would grin.

"I'm surprised I never had to alter his code…he just serves me not caring what I do…"

She'd look over a chart in her room.

"So 4 nights left before the final 7th night…everyone has died once…except for Rancis…he's died twice…and if they die 3 times or more…then on the final night if they die they'll die permanently…" She'd chuckle. "Better be careful Rancis…"

(A while later)

Adorabeezle would wake and join Vanellope in her throne room as the sun would begin to set once again.

"So who are your main targets?" Adorabeezle would ask.

"I was hoping to find Taffyta again….along with Candlehead…and might aswell make Rancis go 3 for 3…"

"But then it wouldn't matter if he dies in the next few days…since he'll only die permanently if you get him on the seventh night…"

"No…I've changed the rules alittle bit…you'll find out when Sour Bill announces them…but for now we should get ready…we leave in a few minutes…"

"Ok…" Jubileena, Nougetsia and Citrusella would respawn beside them.

"Jube!" Adorabeezle would hug her tight.

Vanellope would grin. "You 2 can make out another time…we have work to do…"

(Meanwhile)

Taffyta, Gloyd, Rancis, Swizzle, Minty, Sticky and Torvald would respawn in the forest as Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game.

"Racers…you have a few minutes to hide…but there have been some changes made to the game…"

"W-w-what changes?" Sticky would look up.

"Simple…after your third death…anymore will be a permanent game over…no waiting till the seventh night…after 3….your done…"

Rancis would gulp. "Fuck…."

"But seeing how you wasted this time just standing and listening instead of moving…your time starts….now…" Sour Bill's voice would cut out.

"Shit…..shit….I'm so fucked…so very very fucked…." Rancis would look around terrified expecting Vanellope to appear as Taffyta would take off with Gloyd in one direction and Swizzle, Minty, Sticky and Torvald in the other direction.

Rancis would slowly begin to walk away when he'd suddenly hear Vanellope glitch nearby.

"No….no….no…." He'd turn around and would see her Glitchting from tree to tree slowly coming towards him.

"THEY'RE AFTER ME!" He'd scream and take off sprinting.

Taffyta would stop running. "We have to go back for him!"

Gloyd would grab her arm. "If one's after him they're all after him! It's too late for him!"

Gloyd would start running and Taffyta would look behind her. "Sorry Rancis…" A tear would escape her eye as she'd follow Gloyd.

Sticky would stop running causing Swizzle, Minty and Torvald to stop aswell.

"We need to help him…he's already died twice…if they get him tonight he's gonna be their main target tomorrow for sure…"

"Sticky we've been running for a solid 5 minutes…he's to far away…even if we went back for him he'd be dead by the time we arrive…then we'd be easy pickings for them! I'm sorry but it's too late he's gone!" Swizzle would start running again as Torvald and Minty would grab Sticky by the arms.

"Sorry Sis but we'll try helping him tomorrow…" They'd run and pull her along.

Candlehead, Crumbelina and Snowanna would be roaming deep in the forest.

"Rancis sounded close by…" Candlehead would look around nervously.

"Maybe we should head back to town?" Crumbelina would state.

"You 2 flee if you want to…but I'm helping him…" Snowanna would run off in the direction of Rancis screams.

"No Snowanna wait!" Candlehead would go to run after her only to be stopped by Crumbelina.

"Remember your one of the top 3 targets Vanellope has…if she sees you and Snowanna she'll go straight for you even if it means Snowanna escaping…common…we should be putting as much distance as possible between ourselves and them…Snowanna wants to be risky…she can deal with the consequences…"

"…..O-o-ok…" They'd run to the village.

Rancis would be running as fast as he could still hearing glitching and footsteps behind him.

"They're all after me…I don't stand a chance…"

He'd run around lost eventually exiting the forest near Diet Cola Mountain.

"Crap no where to hide…"

He'd hear them right behind him as he'd trip over a jaw breaker and land face first on the ground.

He'd go to get up when he feel the tip of Vanellope's sword on the back of his neck. "Don't move a muscle Flugs…"

Rancis would lay there petrified. "Vanellope….p-p-please…w-w-we c-c-can t-t-talk a-a-about th-this…"

"Oh really Flugs? Then by all means talk…" He'd see the feet of Nougetsia and Citrusella infront of him.

"Don't look up…this sword will go through your neck if you do…"

"O-o-o-o-ok….b-b-but I see you have some more seekers?"

"Indeed I do…really think you can outrun 5 of us?"

He'd gulp. "Why did you all come after me?"

"Well because going 3 for 3 would be very embarrassing…dying permanently on the fourth night would be hilarious…which is why you have to die here and now…"

Snowanna would watch from behind a tree. "Think think…" She'd see a Cherry Bomb beside the tree. "Good as nothing…" She'd grab it and throw it at the group. "Catch!"

The Cherry Bomb would bounce of Rancis and explode sending everyone flying and leaving Rancis completely dazed.

"Maybe I shouldn't have thrown it directly at them…" Snowanna would rush over to Rancis and would help him up.

"What was that?" He'd snap out of his daze.

"Just be glad I came…it seemed no one else did…now come on…" She'd run away and Rancis would follow as Vanellope would sit up a huge grin on her face.

"Now things just got interesting…" She'd get up. "Nougetsia and Citrusella…go look for the others…Adorabeezle and Jubileena…follow me for now…"

They'd nod and do so.

(Meanwhile)

Crumbelina and Candlehead would enter the village. "Sure we'll be safe here? 6 people got massacred here last night…" Candlehead would look at Crumbelina.

"Yes we will be…trust me…but we won't go indoors…we'll just roam around abit…"

At the same time Gloyd and Taffyta would take a moment to catch their breath just outside of the forest. "Think they all went for Rancis?"

Taffyta would turn to Gloyd who'd nod.

"Yea but the second they catch him they'll split up to cover more ground…so we should stay on the move…." Taffyta would shrug.

"Yea but I don't think we'll need to continue running…" Gloyd would look around.

"Yea we can afford to walk for abit…-Nougetsia and Citrusella would suddenly appear in their karts-…scratch that…run!" They'd both flee.

(Back with Vanellope)

She'd silently follow Snowanna and Rancis who'd run all the way to lemonade lake before finally stopping for a breather.

"Wait…I need to catch my breath…" Rancis would pant.

"Think we lost them?" Snowanna would look behind them not seeing Vanellope, Adorabeezle and Jubileena concealed in the darkness.

"No idea…" Rancis would stretch as a shot would ring out and Snowanna would look down to see a hole going through her stomach with blood spewing out. "Rancis….run…." She'd collapse as Rancis would see Vanellope approaching and take off running again.

Vanellope would turn to Adorabeezle and Jubileena. "I can handle Rancis…you 2 go find the others…"

They'd nod and leave as Vanellope would glitch to catch up to Rancis.

"How long do you think you can run for Rancis? Because I could do this all night…"

Rancis would glance behind him and gulp.

Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game.

"Snowanna's dead….she's now at 2…."

(3 hours later)

Gloyd and Taffyta would rush into the junkyard Nougetsia and Citrusella close behind as Adorabeezle and Jubileena would silently be following Swizzle, Minty, Sticky and Torvald.

"Gloyd…we have 10 more minutes…but I don't think we can stay ahead of them…"

Gloyd would look at her. "Yes we can…I got a plan…"

"What is it?"

Taffyta would watch Gloyd pick up a hidden Cherry Bomb from inbetween 2 karts and put it beside a huge pile. "They won't be able to climb over it in time…"

The Cherry Bomb would go off and the karts would begin crashing down but Nougetsia would fire off a shot before they'd hit the ground and Gloyd would fall to the ground.

"Gloyd!" Taffyta would be by his side.

Gloyd would have a hand over his side. "It just grazed me…I'll be fine…"

"We still need to get that bandaged up though…" Gloyd's head would rest on her lap. "Never knew you were the protective type…" He'd grin alittle dispite the pain.

"Hey you're the only guy that interests me…can't lose you like this…"

"Oh really?" Gloyd would grin when they'd hear Nougetsia and Citrusella leave in their karts. "See like I planned…they didn't bother climbing over…"

(Meanwhile)

Swizzle's would stop for a moment and look at the sky. "The sun is rising! We did it!"

A shot you ring out and Torvald, Sticky and Minty would turn to see him collapse to the ground Adorabeezle would nudge his body alittle.

"Still a solid 5 minutes to go ladies…"

The 3 sisters would take off as Jubileena would fire a shot that'd hit Sticky in the waist causing her to fall to the ground.

Torvald and Minty would help her to her feet and would run almost carrying her along. "We got you sis…"

Adorabeezle and Jubileena would continue to fire at them as Minty would be struck in the leg and would fall but managed to crawl behind a tree as Torvald would take cover with Sticky from the gun fire as Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game.

"Swizzle's dead….2 more minutes…"

"Just stay low behind cover Minty…."

Torvald wold state as Minty would nod. "I know…"

(Meanwhile)

Rancis would be running hearing Vanellope on his tail. "Game over Flugs…" Vanellope would get close enough to shove him to the ground.

Rancis would start getting up just for Vanellope to plant her foot on his chest and pin him to the ground. "You ran for a long time Flugs…but now it's game over for you…."

Rancis would gulp. "I-I-I-It d-d-doesn't have to be this way…"

Vanellope would put the tip of her sword on his neck a grin on her face. "Like I said…you all made my life hell for 15 years…and I'm finally having my revenge…"

"Please….just let me survive once! Please!" Rancis would plea.

Vanellope's grin would widen. "No…." She'd stab him in the neck and would stand back as blood would gush from his neck as his body would twitch slightly as he'd grab his neck dying moments after.

"Hehehe…good luck tomorrow Rancis…you'll need it…"

Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game. "Rancis dead…final minute to go…"

Adorabeezle and Jubileena would start firing more accurately as a shot would go through the tree hitting Sticky in the back. "Hang on Sticky…it's almost over…"

"I'm…..trying…." She'd state weakly to Torvald who'd look over at Minty who'd glance back at her before taking a shot to the head.

"Oh shit…." Torvald would lay down as shots were fly over her head.

Taffyta would help Gloyd up the pile of karts. "Taff…I took a grazing shot…I can take care of myself…"

"Sorry…" Taffyta would go silent when they'd see Nougetsia and Citrusella appear at the bottom of the pile.

"You do realize you left the northen entrance open right?" Nougetsia would look up at them arms crossed.

"Yea…we expected more out of you…especially you Gloyd…" Citrusella would reach for her gun as Taffyta would pull Gloyd to the top. "Common!"

Citrusella would fire 2 shots and both Gloyd and Taffyta would tumble to the other side.

Gloyd would look over himself. "She missed…how about you….-after a few moments-…Taffyta?"

He'd look over as see that 1 bullet went straight through her eye into her brain. "Oh god…" He'd stop himself from puking as Sticky would succumb to her wounds just as Sour Bill's voice would echo throughout the game one final time.

"Minty dead, Taffyta dead, Sticky dead….game over…survivors congrats…"

Vanellope, Adorabeezle, Jubileena, Nougetsia and Citrusella would disappear into thin air.

Torvald would look around confused. "Where did they go?" She'd sigh looking at Minty and Sticky. "I'm sorry…you'll survive this…no matter what…" She'd leave the forest as Gloyd would slowly get up and leave the junkyard.

"Better bandage this anyway…before it gets infected…" He'd tell himself.

Back around the village Candlehead would turn to Crumbelina. "In the last 5 minutes….5 of them died….the only one who didn't was Snowanna…"

"I know Candles…besides we warned Snowanna….and she paid the price for doing something stupid…but now…their gonna have to be very cautious…and Rancis…well….he's fucked…" Crumbelina would watch the sun rise higher into the sky. "But we'll make it through this….I guarantee you that…."

Candlehead would smile. "Better keep that promise…"

"I'll die trying…"

(A few minutes later)

Torvald would run into Gloyd.

"Hey you ok?" She'd look at Gloyd's wound.

"Yea fine…just going to bandage this up…"

Torvald would bring him to his house. "I'm actually worried heading into tomorrow…."

Gloyd would turn to her. "About what?"

She'd bandage his wound. "Well…if your keeping track….we have 4 days to go…Rancis is in jeopardy now…Minty, Sticky, Swizzle, Taffyta and Swizzle have all died twice…I'm worried Vanellope might announce a deal…if someone turns someone else over to them…they'll have immunity for the night…"

"Why would she do that?" Gloyd would grab a sodas for them.

"Well…Rancis is gonna be desperate to survive…and seeing how no one went back to help him…the desperation might get to him…and Vanellope probably will want us to have trouble trusting one another…"

Gloyd would ponder for a moment. "That actually makes a lot of sense…"

Torvald would drink her soda. "Yea…that's why it worries the fuck out of me…"
