The next day, after the arcade was closed, Ralph, Felix, and Calhoun came to Sugar Rush. Vanellope told all three of them about Henry's challenge.
"Oh really? Is that true?" Ralph asked.
"Yes, its true. Ralph." Said Vanellope. "Henry sent us a letter yesterday. He said he wants to challenge Max on a race. If one of them wins, then the winner's game wins."
"Okay, so does that mean, if Max wins, then Sugar Rush will win, and if Henry wins, then Finish Line will win?" Asked Ralph.
"Yes, exactly. It is a good chance to show our game's power."
"That sounds amazing." Said Felix. "By the way, can we come to watch?"
"Of course! Why not?" Said Vanellope. "You can bring your friends too."
"Got it." Said Felix. "I should bring the nicelanders."
"That's a great idea." Said Calhoun. "But I'd better not bring my troops to here. They would feel unfamiliar of this place."
"That could be a good idea." Said Ralph.
"I feel excited." Said Felix. "I hope Max would win the race and show Henry the power of Sugar Rush."
"And I'm planning to throw Henry into the fungeon if Max wins." Said Vanellope. "Isn't it a great idea, huh?"
"That's your own choice, kid." Said Ralph. He then turned to Max, and spoke. "Max, good luck on the battle."
"Thank you, Ralph. I'll do my best." Max replied.
Three days later from that, the day of battle came. That night, Ralph, Felix, nicelanders, and Calhoun came to Sugar Rush. Some minutes after that, Henry, the other race cars and some fans of Finish Line came. Everyone met together at the speedway.
"Ready for the tournament?" Henry asked.
"Yes Henry. We're ready." Said Vanellope.
"Be prepared tight, Henry." Max said. "I will show you our game's power. The power that is stronger than your game."
"Hah! We'll see about that." Said Henry. "You too be prepared tight, Max."
"We were already prepared, Henry." Said Max.
Soon, Max and Henry stood on the starting line. Vanellope went up to her stand. She tapped on her microphone, and spoke. "Greetings, everyone! Today's the day. The day of deciding which game is the best. Yes, its our game versus Finish Line! Our game's race car Max Schnell and our biggest enemy Henry Jefferson will have a battle race! Then the winner's game will win! Please cheer for Max, Sugar Rush Citizens!"
The racers and the candy fans cheered on Max. Max waved at them in response. The race cars and fans of Finish Line cheered on Henry, and Henry also waved at them.
"Now, let's get the race started!" Vanellope shouted.
A marshmallow holding the starting light gave Max and Henry a signal of starting the race, and the two race cars blasted off the starting line.
