-==Chapter 5==-
Royal Raceway Rumble and Random Roster Shock
Arthur and Molly prepare for a Duel as their next race. It's Vanellope vs. Crumbelina.
Arthur: "So, Molly, which track would you want to race on?"
Molly: "I call Royal Raceway! I've been seeing you making Time Attacks there."
Arthur: "Then I'd like to see you do what you do best! Royal Raceway it is!"
Molly: "Alright then!"
Arthur and Molly picked Royal Raceway, and set to Casual Mode. Jackson and Norton are now next to Seats 2 and 3. They are a bit nervous. They've never tried Sugar Rush before, but they don't want people to misjudge them since they are part of the Slaughter Race Gang. The Loading Screen ends, the racers are at the Starting line, and kids start to record the race again.
Vanellope: "Well, Crumby, I say we settle this score here!"
Crumbelina: "I say you show me your full power!"
Vanellope: "I'd be HAPPY to!"
The eight other racers are as follows: Sticky, Swizzle, Gloyd, Minty Sakura, Snowanna, Nougetsia, Citrusella and Rancis. The race is about to begin, Back at the arcade, the kids are planning to chant the countdown for both Arthur and Molly in-sync with the game's announcer once the announcer is ready.
Announcer and bystanders: "Are you ready? 5!"
Citrusella: "(Does a Twirling jump and pumps her left fist forward)"
Announcer and Bystanders: "4! 3!"
Minty Zaki: "(Jumps twice and raises both hands up) Alright!"
Announcer and bystanders: "2! Wua…"
Announcer: "(Accompanied with an Explosion sound and a Rapid Alarm sound) A NEW CHALLENGER!"
Arthur and Molly: "WHAT THE?!"
Crowd: "(Screaming like Banshees)"
The race was abruptly put on hold as Two new challengers came in and join Arthur and Molly, but those two racers are a pair of unlikely boys, and Arthur was shocked to see who the pair were.
Arthur: "JACKSON?! NORTON?!"
It were Jackson and Norton, they have inserted their quarters into the game, and chose Citrusella and Minty Zaki respectively. They don't have Tobi-Save cards, by the way. They heard Arthur's shocked response, but didn't say a single word. Thankfully, everyone didn't know that Jackson and Norton were from Slaughter Race. All they know was their usernames.
Arthur: "Um, guys?"
Molly: "Doesn't matter!"
Announcer: "Chews the Track!"
Arthur: "Royal Raceway!"
Molly: "Got it!"
Arthur and Molly picked Royal Raceway, and as they are waiting for Jackson and Norton, the crowd starts getting bigger. To everyone's surprise, Jackson and Norton also picked Royal Raceway. Both Arthur and Molly picked Casual mode for that matter, while Jackson and Norton picked Simulation Mode due to them being accustomed to Slaughter Race's Realism, something Vanellope finds interesting but NOT appealing to her fully, which is why she DREADED Simulation Mode the most in Sugar Rush, because Simulation Mode means she must win using her Natural driving Skills. Thankfully, it was Casual Mode. Jackson and Norton were confused to what this means. After the loading screen, the race is about to begin. The racers are still the same, only that Minty Zaki replaced Minty Sakura for this one.
Minty Sakura: "Zetto! Sore wa Anata no hashiridesu! Anata wa Jackson to iu namae no kodomo to issho ni ikimasu! (Hey, Mintz! It's your run! You're going with a kid named Jackson!)"
Minty Zaki: "Jackson? Wasn't he Heather's brother? Vanellope told us about him since her recent visit at Bad-Anon, even though she's NOT A BAD GIRL! He's ACTUALLY DirtySocks537 from Slaughter Race! What is he doing here?!"
Minty Sakura: "Kare wa Sugar Rush ni ikunode, watashitachi wa kare ni chansu o ataeru to iimasu! (He's going Sugar Rush, so I say we give him a shot!)"
Vanellope: "Oh BOY, Minty and Citrusella, you two are in on this too?!"
Minty Zaki: "If it's the race, then yes, I am!"
Citrusella: "So am i! So, you ready to lose, Van?"
Vanellope: "We'll see about that!"
Announcer: "Are you ready?"
Announcer and bystanders: "5! 4! 3! 2! 1! START!"
And the race begins! Arthur and Molly launched as they hit the gas halfway of 2 to 1. But Jackson and Norton FLOORED IT too long that they were left behind. Royal Raceway runs on 3 Laps. First is the straight to the ramp for Gumball Gorge. Arthur ad Vanellope are in 1st place, followed by Molly and Crumbelina in 2nd, the 6 other racers in 3rd to 8th place, while Jackson and Minty Zaki are in 9th, and Norton and Citrusella are in 10th. Jackson and Norton were annoyed, because in Slaughter Race, they are used to rev right before the counter starts and they have a great launch because of that.
The race follows in to Gumball Gorge, Arthur and Vanellope are in the lead, evading gumballs and such, but Molly and Crumbelina picked a Power-Up item, an Ice Cream Launcher, and without noticing, Molly presses the Power-Up Button. Crumbelina shoots the ice cream and HITS Vanellope!
Vanellope: "OUCH!"
Arthur: "Oh, I'll get you for that!"
Crumbelina: "Hahaha, I'm in the lead now!"
Molly: "Oh, You'd BET on that!"
Arthur and Vanellope reset and are now in 3rd place in between Snowanna in 2nd place and Rancis in 4th place. Arthur is still unaware about Rancis' secret, but it's probably for the best. Anyway, Crumbelina is now approaching Cakeway Tower, also with Snowanna, Vanellope, Rancis, and the other 6. If you look on the left side in the straight, you can see a part of the track of Cakeway Town. In front of the racers is the ever iconic tower itself with a Launch Cannon. On the sides of the cake lie re-growing Cherry Bombs that can be ignited by either Candlehead's skill (Candle Lighter) or a fire based Power-Up like Sweet Seekers, or even ANOTHER Cherry Bomb.
Arthur, Vanellope, Molly, Crombelina, Snowanna and Rancis start climbing up the tower. Meanwhile, Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella are making their way through Gumball Gorge and have overtaken Sticky, Swizzle and Gloyd. Jackson was surprised to see the giant towering cake as he; Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella are at Cakeway Tower's straight. They also saw Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina up on top of the tower, as well as three sweet seeker bullets fired by Rancis at them and Snowanna, causing Rancis to be in the lead. Jackson and Norton already picked up Power-Ups and they got full Superpower Bars but they refuse to activate them anyway.
As Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella climb up the tower Arthur and Vanellope already caught up to Rancis in 2nd place, as well as Molly and Crumbelina chasing Arthur, Vanellope and Rancis, as the three approach the Launch Tunnel for Ice Cream Mountain, while Gloyd is Neck-and-Neck against Snowanna battling for 4th place..
Rancis: "I'll see you on the other side, my love!"
Vanellope: "We'll see about that!"
Crumbelina: "Oh you'll see that alright!"
Molly: "Arthur, your Superpower Bar is full, just press the Skill Button!"
Arthur: "Fine, what could possibly go wrong? (Presses the Skill Button)"
Vanellope, Rancis and Crumbelina: "(Launched by the Boost pads, with Vanellope getting the MOST power due to Arthur activating her skill) WHHHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHH!"
The three jumped off the ramp and landed on the next section of the track: Frosty, where you can see a glimpse of Frosty Heights' track. The other racers follow suit. Because Arthur used Vanellope's Skill, he took the lead again, and Vanellope's Superpower Bar recharging so Arthur can use another one. Arthur was confused about some parts of the tracks.
Arthur: "Say, Molly, how come I see other tracks seen in Royal Raceway? I mean, I've been running Time Attacks in this specific track."
Molly: "Actually, Arthur, Royal Raceway is the Flagship Track, and those other tracks are tracks you can drive on if you pick one of them."
Arthur: "Huh?"
Molly: "I'm talking about Cakeway Town, Frosty Heights, and Nougat Underground."
Arthur: "I take it that they are part of the Track Roster?"
Molly: "They sure do!"
Arthur, Vanellope, Molly, Crumbelina and Rancis all raced across the long-slalom tracks of Frosty Mountain, and they are still in the lead. Meanwhile, Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella had just jumped off the Launch Tunnel of Cakeway Tower and at the first section of Frosty Mountain. Jackson and Minty Zaki are in 5th place while Norton and Citrusella are in 5th place.
Citrusella: "Okay what's going on here? These two boys hesitate to use any of the Power-Ups. This is kind of strange."
Minty Zaki: "I know… maybe they thought we drive Simulation Mode all the time."
Citrusella: "Maybe they are hesitant."
Minty Zaki and Citrusella then approach Snowanna and Rancis as they reached a Y-Fork that leads to a Long Tunnel which is Part of Nougat Underground as a track and the mines as a section of Royal Raceway. In case you didn't know, Royal Raceway, the flagship track of the Sugar Rush racing game franchise, which the Random Roster competitions in Arcade versions take place, has a section with a Y-Fork.
The standard track has a Roller-Coaster like track that has Boost Pads all over the place, while the other track, which King Candy took during the time Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis ganged up on him, the infamous "IRON STEEL" Truck Affair, and as portrayed in the movie leads to a Single Steep Downhill with a clear straight line.
Since the original game's rendition doesn't have a Shortcut in a normal basis, the new one has a functional shortcut, but there's a downside: Instead of Boost Pads, there are BOOBY TRAPS that can slow you down if you're not careful. Anyway, Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina took the normal track, entering the tunnel, climbing up a 30 degree ascending slope and…
Vanellope starts accelerating as she drove over the Boost Pads and descends on the Steep Slope to a Big Vertical Loop. She SCREAMS like a wild Banshee similar to when her Skill was activated. Crumbelina also does the same thing to Vanellope. This is because when they are descending; their karts are ACTUALLY ACCELERATING beyond their Designed Speed Limit.
Vanellope and Crumbelina: "WHHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
Arthur: "GGRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOHHHHH!"
Molly: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!"
The seats simulate a Roller-Coaster experience for this, which is why most players who activated Motion Simulator would indirectly scream, added with the Adrenaline of 3D-Max Camera Mode. Vanellope and Crumbelina drove through the Giant Vertical Loop and through a Large Right Corkscrew (Which has the Shortcut track underneath it). During this time, Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella took the shortcut. Since Jackson and Norton played Slaughter Race, they can notice the traps which are Visual Abnormalities on the track. Also, they are being chased by Gloyd and Nougetsia.
As the 4 racers behind Arthur, Vanellope, Molly, Crumbelina, Rancis and Snowanna drive through the Shortcut full of traps, dodging them, Jackson and Norton noticed Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina speeding through the Loop and the Corkscrew above the Shortcut, and it wasn't long before Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella caught up to 3rd and 4th places, having overtaken Rancis and Snowanna, and now approaching Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina. After the Loop and the Corkscrew, came the fork that merges both tracks back to one, only that the Shortcut has a Booster Ramp, which Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella drove onto and suddenly….
Minty Zaki and Citrusella: "(Jumped off the ramp and SLAM into Vanellope and Crumbelina)"
Vanellope: "AAAAAGH!"
Crumbelina: "OUCH!"
Both Vanellope and Crumbelina lost control after a hard crash like that, but Arthur and Molly managed to get both their respective racers back-on-track. Now, Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella are in the lead, with Jackson and Minty Zaki in 1st place while Norton and Citrusella are in 2nd place. Jackson is seen having a dark grin on his face. A Fraction of Sugar Rush's sweet essence, despite starting out as small as a particle, is building up on him. Arthur is the one to notice it first, since before the race even started, when he saw that Jackson and Norton are the ones challenging him, he saw who Jackson's racer was: Minty Zaki and that Minty Zaki is the one who slammed into Vanellope at the Merger.
As the race went on to the Big long tunnel of Nougat Underground's mines, Arthur can now see that Jackson means trouble, especially because he came from a racing game that was more violent and unpredictable. But what Arthur didn't notice was that Jackson didn't even use a Power-Up or a Character Skill (This is because Jackson doesn't even care, and that his racer's skill was a shield, and according to Jackson, a real racer has to be an absolute MAD-MAN, just like what Heather once told him before that horrible accident. Arthur also notices Norton and his racer Citrusella weren't using any Power-Ups or Character Skill, and this can mean trouble if the opponents are aggressive.
But Arthur didn't care if his opponent is doing something their own way. The only thing he cares about is if someone is bold enough to try and make him want to rage-quit. The race takes a big straight to the exit of Nougat Underground's tunnel and back to the Starting/Finish line. Since the track is 3 Laps per race, the real thing is waiting ahead if one racer advances for Lap 2. And it's clear sight for Jackson and Minty Zaki to reach Lap 2, followed by the other racers.
Molly: "Arthur, these guys are something."
Arthur: "I had no idea too! Are Slaughter Race gamers this intense?"
Molly: "Doesn't matter! What matters is I win this race!"
Arthur: "Yeah, right."
As the race continues while Vanellope and Crumbelina spoke…
Vanellope: "Geez, Crumby, I had NO idea that Minty and Citrusella were this wild!"
Crumbelina: "I know, right?! Something must be up with their players."
Vanellope: "Something's up? What are you talking about?"
Minty Zaki: "(Speaks up as Vanellope and Crumbelina gain on her and Citrusella as the 4 racers reach Gumball Gorge) My player is Jackson!"
Crumbelina: "WHAT?! Heather's brother?!"
Vanellope: "DirtySocks537?! That is one of the first players I've encountered in my first day of Slaughter Race!"
Citrusella: "Van, is something wrong with that?!"
Crumbelina: "Well, remember when we visit Slaughter Race back then?"
Minty Zaki: "Y-Yes?
Vanellope: "The way Jackson plays is very rough! (Now the racers jumped to Cakeway Tower) Come on, Minty, you gotta…."
Minty Zaki: "Don't worry; I get the idea, which is why, I'M GOING TO WIN THIS!"
Crumbelina and Citrusella: "YOU'RE ON!"
The race is HOT again as Rancis, Snowanna, and the other racers gain up on Vanellope and the other three racers as they climbed up Cakeway Tower a second time. Both Vanellope and Crumbelina's Superpower Bars are full, but so are Minty Zaki's and Citrusella's. Jackson and Norton refuse to activate their Power-Ups or Skills.
Arthur: "(Presses his Skill Button)"
Molly: "(Presses her Skill Button)"
Vanellope: "(Glows in Light Blue and picking up speed) WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Crumbelina: "(Tira-Missile summons the Linearity Missile underneath it, and Crumbelina accelerates!)"
Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina start to accelerate and Biff Jackson, Minty Zaki, Norton and Citrusella out of their way, ascending to the top of the tower.
Rancis: "Hey, Minty, Citrus, what gives?! Why didn't you use your Power-Up or Skill?!"
Snowanna: "Argh, Minty and Citrusella, you BOTH are UNBELIEVABLE!"
Snowanna proceeds activating her Skill: The Loudspeaker Hurricane, where 4 Loudspeakers are summoned from her Fro-Cone, and then emits HUGE Power waves in a Circular form, allowing the Fro-Cone to spin at high speeds. While the kart spins, the internal bowl stays put, this is because the chassis has a functional separator to shield Snowanna from getting spun out. This is how Snowanna can use the hurricane to attack her foes without getting dizzy. Because Rancis, Minty Zaki and Citrusella are DANGEROUSLY-CLOSE to Snowanna, the latter's hurricane dragged Rancis, Minty Zaki and Citrusella into the hurricane, and causing them to crash. As Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina jumped off the ramp to Frosty Mountain again while being chased by Snowanna, Jackson and Norton suddenly frown, as if it looks like they are going to rage. Swizzle and the pack with him saw Rancis, Minty Zaki and Citrusella crashed and reset back on track.
Swizzle: "MINTY?!"
Sticky: "Okay, What's going on here?!"
Gloyd: "Something's wrong with them!"
Nougetsia: "How come?"
Gloyd: "I think Minty and Citrusella's players aren't even using Power-Ups or something?"
Rancis: "You guys SHUT UP and drive! Snowanna's gonna get MY GIRL'S BUTT if I don't hurry!"
The race is now getting hotter and hotter, The crowd cheers wild as Vanellope and Crumbelina entered Nougat Underground Mines again, followed by Snowanna in 3rd and Gloyd in 4th, and with Minty Zaki and Citrusella also gaining up on Vanellope and Crumbelina, Jackson and Norton are starting to feel the REAL Adrenaline of chasing their prey on a Closed Area with NOWHERE to escape. Jackson is starting to sweat because Arthur and Molly's racers are FAR ahead of him and Minty Zaki.
Meanwhile, as the race goes on to the Third and Final Lap, a figure from outside the arcade sees the race, and then leaves a letter outside the entrance. And during the race, Fix-It Felix Jr. is having another Record Breaking target. It was Mike, he is now in Level 74, and is aiming to beat Molly's record, which Heather never got to shatter due to her death.
The race advances to Lap Three of Royal Raceway, and now, Vanellope and Minty Zaki are in front. This means that Jackson has proven himself to be quite the racer without using any Power-Ups or Character Skills. Jackson is hot behind Arthur. Vanellope can see that Arthur is now starting to sweat.
Arthur: "(As he reached Gumball Gorge) (On his thoughts: Man, Jackson sure is one formidable opponent. He managed to get ahead of Molly. No wonder Slaughter Race holds up to his standards. He must have been playing a lot of that game.)"
Arthur is not the only one who discovers something insane from his competitor, Norton feels it too, as Molly and Crumbelina in 3rd place are blocking him and Citrusella in 4th place as they all climb up to Cakeway Tower one last time.
Norton: "(On his thoughts: Man, who is this Molly girl here?! She's like, so good at this game. When I try to find an opening, she managed to block it, and it's like she knew the game's tricks or something. I gotta do something… wait a minute, what's this? (Sees the Superpower bar at 100% fully charged and the flashing Skill Button) Hmm, Slaughter Race doesn't have Power-Ups or Car specific skills; maybe I gotta try it out.)"
Norton presses his Skill Button, and Citrusella's kart wheels grow larger into Monster Truck Wheels.
Citrusella: "GET OUT F MY WAY!"
Norton was amazed! So he uses the skill as an advantage to Knock Crumbelina and Minty Zaki, but before he could even knock Vanellope, his racer's skill wears off.
Minty Zaki and Crumbelina: "AAAGH!"
Vanellope: "(Gasps in shock) Ci… Ci…. Citrusella?!"
Citrusella: "Hey, Vanny, you gotta WATCH YOUR BUTT!"
Both Vanellope and Citrusella jumped off to Frosty Mountain. Now, Crumbelina is in 6th place and Minty Zaki is in 7th place. Jackson FINALLY starts to speak up.
Jackson: "WHAT THE HELL?! Norton?! What the fire was THAT for?!"
Norton: "Dude, you gotta try out the Power-Ups and Character Skill!"
Jackson's Power Up is a Sweet Seeker he got in Gumball Gorge back at lap 1. With him overtaking Molly and Crumbelina, in front of him are Snowanna, Rancis, and Gloyd. He shot the Sweet Seeker to knock the three out of his way. And with that, Jackson and Minty Zaki are now in 3rd place, gaining up on Vanellope and Citrusella.
Snowanna: "Looks like Citrusella is now with Vanellope! Come on, guys, we gotta step It up!"
Gloyd: "Certainly right about that."
Rancisw: "Come on, this race is not over yet!"
Meanwhile at Taffyta's house, Taffyta, Candlehead and Jubileena watch the race as recorded by the Marshmallow Cameramen Live.
Jubileena: "Geez, it took this far for my twin's player to activate her Skill. I wonder why though?"
Taffyta: "It was BabeRaham_Linkin. Real name is Norton, Both Jackson and Norton are top gamers in Slaughter Race, so maybe they thought by using their own skills in that game, they'll get the upper hand."
Candlehead: "But that's ridiculous. That kind of driving style will only work in Simulation Mode."
Taffyta: "Well, whatever they're doing, I hope for the best. Besides, Jackson lost his sister, remember?"
The race is at Nougat Underground's mines. After the Rollercoaster track and the merger, Arthur and Vanellope still got a hold on 1st place with Norton and Citrusella hot behind the former two in 2nd place. The race is almost over. Meanwhile, Mr. Litwak walked off to the entrance to find the mysterious letter.
Stan Litwak: "Hmmm. What's this? A mysterious letter? Hmm… to Jackson Madison? Maybe this letter is important, I'll give it to him once he stopped playing."
Mr. Litwak took the letter to the main counter. The race is now at the final stretch! Molly and Crumbelina activate the Linearity missile, Jackson and Minty Zaki activate their Power-Up: a Sugar boost Cube, AND Minty Zaki's Skill: Candy Wrapper Shield, while chasing Vanellope and Citrusella. The other six racers chase the player controlled racers as well, now reaching about 216 MPH! And as all the racers close in on Vanellope to overtake her, Arthur deploys a Cherry Bomb Power-Up he got from the tunnel which then explodes and attacked the racers except Minty Zaki and Crumbelina. And then….
Arthur: "(Presses the Skill Button)"
Vanellope: "(Glows in Light Blue and picking up speed) WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Crumbelina and Minty Zaki were closing in on Vanellope bit by bit as ALL the racers reached Peak maximum Speed, up to 226 MPH, no less, and Rancis managed to overtake Crumbelina in 3rd place! Arthur wasn't distracted, because he was focused, which allows Vanellope to remain going straight, and by the Last part of the track to the Starting/Finish Line, Arthur and Vanellope WON the race!
1st: Vanellope
2nd: Minty Zaki
3rd: Rancis
4th: Crumbelina
5th: Gloyd
6th: Citrusella
7th: Swizzle
8th: Snowanna
9th: Sticky
10th: Nougetsia
Vanellope: "SWEET MOTHER OF MONKEY MILK I WON!"
Arthur: "HAHAHAH-I OWNED ALL OF YOU! ALL OF YOU!"
The crowd Cheered wild! Videos are also posted on BuzzzTube! Everyone is going Wild!"
Molly: "Great race, Arthur!"
Vanellope: "(Receives her 1st Place Winner's Trophy) TOP SHELF!"
Gloyd: "You guys all did great!"
Snowanna: "So are you too!"
Nougetsia: "It was Fun, alright! I hope we have another race!"
Rancis: "You can bet on it."
Arthur: "(Fist Bumps the screen for Vanellope) Jackson, Norton, you guys did great too! Um… guys? (Gets a Free game and waits for the others to proceed)"
Jackson: "I….. I love it…."
Arthur: "Huh?"
Jackson: I love it…. ILOVEIT-ILOVEIT-ILOVEIT-ILOVEIT-NOWIKNOW-WHY-SUGARRUSH-WAS-SO-LOVED-BY-EVERYONE! I-LOVE-IT!"
Norton: "Jackson, Calm down, dude!"
Minty Zaki: "Oh, Jackson… he's just so adorable now…"
Citrusella: "He really is. Heather's going to be happy."
Vanellope smiles innocently at the heartwarming sight of Jackson being happy for the first time since he lost Heather. Seeing gamers happy because o0f Sugar Rush makes Vanellope happy; but then, another Loud Cheering came from the crowd at Fix-It Felix Jr. It was Sally, she had played the game 2 hours earlier, and was now at Level 132! She is really serious at this game! She's practically going to Heather out Molly's record! Some of the kids even LIVE-STREAMED Sally's game session on BuzzzTube!
Arthur: "(Chuckles at the sight of Jackson being happy after playing the game his sister used to play before Disaster, but then notices Felix and Ralph's game) Hey, look, isn't that Sally?"
Molly: "Oh yeah, I didn't even notice her! (Molly chose No on her Continue Screen, which then displays her Data successfully saved, and the "Parting is Such a Sweet Sorrow" screen.) Well, I'll get some meals."
Arthur: "Okay. So, guys, I got a free game for winning 1st place. If you insert your Quarter and choose Yes when the game asks whether or not you continue, you'll have a Rematch!"
Norton: "Well, Slaughter Race may be our obsession, but after what we went through with this game, I suppose I'll give it another go. But don't tell anyone about this."
Jackson: "Relax, they don't know that we're from Slaughter Race (In fact, the crowd were too busy with themselves) and don't worry, I won't spoil anything."
Arthur: "Your secrets are safe with me. I won't tell anyone."
Arthur, Jackson and Norton then go for another race at Sugar Rush while Molly sees Sally's attempt to beat the record. However, Sally was distracted, and with the last life in her game and a brick crushed Felix, it was over. Sally's high score was: Lv. 135 and 178500! It was so close, but everyone cheered for Sally had managed to reach that far.
Felix: "Grrh! She was so close to beating Molly's Record!"
Ralph: "But hey, to her credit, she's gotten you back to shape!"
Felix: "I know that, but… What would the Hell Defiler say had she been alive today?"
Nolan: "Oh, come on, Felix, don't be such a fuss pot."
Mary: "Yeah, man, you're starting to…"
Felix: "Sorry, guys, it's just that…"
Gene: "Oh, I see... You still felt uneasy when Ralph told us the news."
Felix: "I know! The Real world out there is NOT fair! Why are there children or teenagers who had to die in violent ways? The world out there is just FOOLISHLY CRUEL and MESSED UP!"
Ralph: "I know that, Felix. Reality is harsh, which is why Video Games are made for Escapism of that Reality."
Later, after Arthur finished playing Sugar Rush, it was time for him to go back home. Jackson and Norton decide to play some more, but when it's their turn to go home…
Stan Litwak: "Hello, which one of you is named Jackson Madison?"
Jackson: "That's me, sir. Is something wrong?"
Stan Litwak: "Here's a letter for you. The sender is unknown."
Jackson: "Okay, sir, I'll read it. Thanks anyway."
As Jackson and Norton walked out of the arcade and to the train station to take the Light Rail Train back to their homes, Jackson decides to read the letter. Both he and Norton were SHOCKED when they read it. It said: "You are gonna DIE….."
Jackson: "What the hell?!"
Norton: "I have no idea..."
Night came not long after, and the arcade is going to close. Mr. Litwak makes his usual announcement.
Stan Litwak: "Alright people, It's 8 P.M., It's the last game of the day.
The patrons played the Last-Game-of-the-Shift levels in each games, and after these levels are finished, Off to the Game Over Screen (And Save-Data to games with Save-Data features). All games are finished by then.
Stan Litwak: "Alright then, have a safe trip home, people.
The patrons left the Arcade and Mr. Litwak went home.
Stan Litwak: "(Looks at the games) Good night, guys."
Ralph: "(Waves at Mr. Litwak on top of Niceland City's Flagship Apartment Building). Alright guys, shift's over. (Climbs down the building, collects random object6s that are scattered around the front yard and dumped them in a Recycling Machine) Great job, everyone, keep it up for tomorrow. (Sees Felix at the train station) So, Felix, you go for the usual?"
Felix: "Oh yes, Ralph! Tammy and I are going to see the kids at Sugar Rush."
Both Ralph and Felix got onboard the train to Game Central Station. The train in Fix-It Felix Jr. looks the same as the one back when the game was first plugged in, but due to streamlining of all public transport operations, the train, called Niceland Rapid-Liner, has 5 cars. The First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth cars are 12-seaters of 3 rows + 4 columns, facing back and forth, while the center car is reserved for Ralph or anyone bigger than the Nicelanders, Felix, and/or the Sugar Rush racers.
Ralph: "I see. Everyone is also in on this too, in case you forgot. And I hear that there's gonna be an announcement as well."
Felix: "(The train departs and is now on the Power Strip) I wonder what it's gonna be?"
The train arrives, Ralph and Felix disembark, the train departs back to the game as the Nicelanders are to take the train to GCS as well.
Surge protector: "Random Security Check. Name?"
Ralph: "Wreck-It Ralph."
Felix: "Fix-It Felix Jr."
Surge Protector: "Where from?"
Ralph: "Fix-It Felix Jr."
Surge Protector: "Where to go to?"
Felix: "Sugar Rush."
Surge Protector: "Anything to declare?"
Ralph and Felix: "We hate you."
Surge Protector: "I get that a lot. Proceed."
Ralph and Felix walked to Sugar Rush's entrance, where Tamora was waiting. She and her troops are making out to their Daily Spot Checks to ensure no Cy-Bugs are in other games, ESPECIALLY Sugar Rush because of what the "Wreck-It Ralph movie" the arcade's characters once watched on December 2012 from Niceland City's new Cinema built back in late November of 2012 showed. Granted, the Cy-bug invasion DIDN'T happen in Real-Life because Ralph's involvement with the game was his desire to give the racers a heartfelt gift that suddenly caused Vanellope to show up and King Candy driving the infamous Iron Steel truck which Tamora described as if "Doomsday and Armageddon having a Baby, and she assures everyone that it is UGLY AS HELL."
Ralph, Felix and Tamora board a Sleek Streamlined Bullet Sugar train to Sugar Rush. Before the train departs, some of the Bad-Anon members like Zangief, Bowser, Dr. Eggman, M. Bison, and Kano, as well as several other characters like Terry Bogard, Sonic, Kohut, and Markowski from other games also board the train. The train departs from the station, through the Power Strip, and to Sugar World, where the train cruises from the Rainbow Railway line into the Main Line, where other trains pass by, passing local stations and other Railway Yards, and arriving at Sugar Town Central Station where Ralph and the other characters disembark from the train as it departs to other stations besides Game Central Station.
Ralph met his daughter Vanellope by the fountain. Ever since Ralph's wholesome gift to Rancis when Felix and Tamora won their bet a second time, Vanellope has always looked up to Ralph. And by 2013, Felix suggested that Ralph adopts Vanellope, which he does. Both Ralph and Vanellope are a loving duo of Father and Daughter, and if one of them makes a mistake, they would work together to fix it. Ralph and Vanellope's sweet family relationship got Felix and Tamora, as well as Ryu, Chun Li, Yuni, Terry, and Blue Mary (FF+KOF) to adopt the other racers when Sugar Rush Speedway was unplugged due to Human Error caused by game hoggers in 2015, but it started out kind of strange.
Also in the same year, Vanellope decides to play Cupid and somehow match-made Ralph with Shank when Ralph confronted Vanellope about nearly going Turbo. Vanellope's stunt got Ralph and Shank to fall in love, and in 2016, Ralph and Shank got married and Vanellope got a mother at last. Even though Ralph and Shank came from different types of games, Ralph and Vanellope spend time in Slaughter Race on Weekend Nights with Shank for some Family time and of course, Ralph and Vanellope playing Slaughter Race as themselves and making BuzzzTube Videos. Ralph's family is a very unique and strange one; a Wrecker married to a Street Racer and their daughter is a former Royal figure.
Vanellope: "Hey, Ralph, my man…"
Ralph: "Hi, kid, so, uh, the announcement is tonight?"
Vanellope: "Yup, come on, let's get to Royal Raceway."
Felix: "Alright, Sugar-Blossom, lead us the way."
At Royal Raceway…
Chocolate-headed Guardsman: Alright, line-up to the entrance. Regulars to Regular Grandstands, VIPs to VIP Grandstand."
Felix: "Hey, Milady, you got the VIP Pass?"
Tamora: "(Shows her VIP Pass) VIP Pass!"
Ralph: "(Shows his VIP Pass) I got mine too."
Vanellope: "Alright, see you later, guys."
Ralph: "Okay, and have fun!"
As Vanellope left with her kart to line up with her friends, five unlikely guests arrived at Royal Raceway's Spectator entrance, driving wildly modified race cars and a monster truck school bus. Coming out of these vehicles were Shank (Ralph's Wife and Vanellope's Mother) and her Dark Titans crew members Felony, Little Debbie, Butcher Boy and Pyro.
Shank: "Hi, guys!"
Ralph: "Oh, hi, Shank, good to see you. What's the event in Slaughter Race?"
Shank: "Maintenance and Update to the World-Wide server, which was closed due to said update.
Felony: "The update took for 5 days."
Butcher Boy: "Since we are only available to players who connected to "World-Wide", we are not allowed to show up in Metropolitan-Area servers or Local-Area servers, or EVEN Offline."
Shank: "So, we decided to take a visit. Man, I had never even visited Sugar Rush before. I didn't know that the trains can seat cars inside like the Internet trains…. So, um, where's our daughter, Ralph?"
Ralph: "She's at the Starting line. Today is going to have a big announcement. So, what seats would you guys take?"
Shank: "Oh, the Regular seat. We never came here before, like I said, and we don't have VIP passes."
Pyro: "Come on, guys, let's try finding the best seat!"
Little Debbie: "Race you to it!"
Ralph: "Well, see you later, guys."
The other characters from GCS also arrived as Ralph, Felix and Tamora took their seats on Reclining Single-Sofas. Gene and the Nicelanders also have VIP passes, so they took their seats on Business-Sofas. Kohut and Markowski are part of the Military, so they join the Guardsmen spot, separate from their sergeant and the other characters. Zangief took a VIP seat next to Ralph.
Ralph: "Hey, Zangief. So, how many skulls did you crush today?"
Zangief: "Crush 18 skulls as an NPC, while 76 skulls by the patrons. Looks like they have been warming up to me, probably because they didn't take my strange Villain job as depicted in that Movie about you too seriously, but hey, it's worth the attention."
M. Bison: "Heh-heh-heh, I'm also impressed, Zangief, that those who played AS you managed to give Ryu and ken a RUN for their money. Better dead than Red."
Ken and Terry: "WE HEARD THAT!"
Ralph just chuckled about it, and then he took attention to his daughter and her friends at the Altar, facing the Presidential throne of Royal Raceway. Since one of 16 racers is currently President, that one racer is NOT on the altar. On the throne's structure has an Emblem with the letters G and O, decorated with Candy Corns, a Giant Pumpkin, and Carrots forming a Star.
Sour Bill: "Ladies and Gentlemen, all hail this year's ruler of Sugar Rush, President Gloyd Orangeboar."
The curtain opens, and reveals Gloyd as he stands proud and calm. He also wears the Presidential Crown on top of his Pumpkin hat and has a Cloack decorated with Candy Corns and Carrots. The fans cheered for their leader, and the racers bow down for him as Gloyd bows down for his people.
Gloyd: "Hello my people."
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
The racers rise up, and so is Gloyd.
Gloyd: "Thank you for that stellar introduction, Sour Bill. And thank you all for today's Avatars, for a Wonderful day of Racing. Now it's time for the Random Roster Competition to decide on tomorrow's Representatives. But, before we begin, I have some announcements to make. Recently, we had a Devastating event. We have lost a Patron, by the name of Heather Elizabeth Madison."
Everyone except the Sugar Rush racers: "(Gasped in fear, hearing Heather's name and started muttering about her)"
Gloyd: "Alright, ALRIGHT, I get the idea, you're all afraid of Heather…. But here's the thing, Heather died last Friday."
Everyone: "(Gasps in horror about Heather's undeserving demise)"
Gloyd: "She died in saving the life of a young boy named Arthur Emanuel Johnson from being crushed by a mentally insane truck. Her death was even disrespected by some school bullies. It was a horrible accident indeed, and the worst part is, that she never had the shot to try this new Sugar Rush game. But if it weren't for her, Arthur would have never got to try out Sugar Rush. With this in mind, let's have a brief moment of silence for Heather."
Everyone took a moment of brief silence to mourn Heather. Vanellope and Crumbelina were on the VERGE of Tears, Vanellope because she understands what Arthur felt when having to lose a friend like that and Crumbelina because Heather has helped her in her hard times.
Gloyd: "May she rest in peace. (Everyone rises up, and Crumbelina wiped Vanellope's tears off) This Random Roster competition is dedicated to Heather, whose heroics shall be remembered across this arcade, and those who knew her. May God bless her family and those she met; and to a brighter topic, we will have a two month Presidential Election to decide who will run for President for 2018. The candidates are as follows: Adorabeezle Winterpop, Minty Sakura, Swizzle Malarkey, Candlehead, and Vanellope Von Schweetz. Candidates, make sure you set up your campaigns in the span of two months. And after 2 months, Voting will begin!"
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
Gloyd: "And one more announcement before we begin the race. I, as this year's President of Sugar World, am proud to say the following sentence. The Sugar Rush World Championship will be held 6 months from now, and the tournament, will take place AT LITWAK'S FAMILY FUN CENTER!"
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
Gloyd: "Yup, heard that right! And in the Span of 6 Months before the World Championship, We must WORK together to make Sugar Rush LOOK ITS BEST!"
Everyone: "(Cheering)"
Gloyd: "And now; on with the show! This event is FREE-2-PLAY! Press the button on your right side (Red buttons rise up next to the racers) if you want to join, which of course, I would. I'll go first! (Presses the button)"
Felix: "You go for the usual, Tammy?"
Zangief: "Place your bets, everyone, place your bets here! Top 9 winner picks get bragging rights until the Arcade is open!"
Tamora: "Right you are!"
Felix and Tamora: "Rancis Fluggerbutter!"
Sonic, Arle, and NiGHTS: "Taffyta Muttonfudge!"
M. Bison and Zangief: "Jubileena Bing-Bing."
Liu Kang and Shang Tsung: "Snowanna Rainbeau!"
Scorpion, Sub Zero, and Kitana: "Adorabeezle Winterpop"
Ryu and Terry: "Candlehead!"
Ken and Kyo: "Citrusella Flugpucker!"
Saitine and Sorceress: "Sticky Wipplesnit!"
Yuni: "Minty Zaki!"
Kano, Mileena, and Smoke: "Minty Sakura!"
The racers then press their respective buttons to enter, and their names are shown on the Jumbotron. After that, Gloyd walks to his kart, the Kernel, which is located in 16th place. Vanellope boards her kart in 9th place with Crumbelina in 10th place.
Gloyd: "Alright! Let this Random Roster competition COMMENCE! (Shoots a Kernel Missile up, which explodes into Fireworks)"
And the race begins with everyone cheering like wild! Vanellope accelerates to 3rd place, following Crumbelina in the lead! Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis make a Straight Formation to catch up to Vanellope and Crubelina, as well as Snowanna in 2nd place. Jumping to Gumball Gorge, Vanellope picked up a Power-Up, a Cherry Bomb, which she throws behind, and ATTACKS Adorabeezle, Torvald and Citrusella, sending them behind as Nougetsia and Swizzle overtake them. Gloyd is now in 8th place, with Minty Sakura hot behind him! Vanellope overtakes Snowana as they headed for Cakeway Tower, and is now in 2nd place behind Crumbelina.
Taffyta: "Man, Crumbelina's really going for it! She's really pumped up!"
Candlehead: "To be honest, I'm kind of worried for her, AND Vanellope."
Rancis: "What are you guys worried about? Van and Crumbs can handle this race themselves."
Taffyta: "Not this race, Rancis, I'm talking about their emotional state, especially the loss of Heather."
Rancis: "Oh…. I didn't realize I was making the wrong assumption. We gotta help them move on!"
Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis are HOT behind Vanellope and Crumbelina as they overtook Snowanna. As the racers climbed up the tower, Gloyd, now in 6th place is slipstreaming behind Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis, unaware that Sticky and Minty Zaki are also behind them, Sticky in particular has a Power-Up, Sweet Seeker, which she SHOT at Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis, because Gloyd evaded them! Now, Gloyd is Neck-and-Neck-andNeck against Vanellope and Crumbelina, and the three jumped off the Launch Tunnel and into Frosty Mountain! Followed by the other racers, they make their way to Nougat Underground.
Vanellope: "Hey, Crumby, it's your boy right behind yo~ooouuu~u…"
Crumbelina: "Vanny, could you just SAY it normally?! You're distracting me!"
Vanellope chuckled as she activates a Sugar Boost cube Power-Up she picked up on her way to the Rollercoaster track of Nougat Underground as Crumbelina, Gloyd, Minty Zaki and the other racers follow suit. Gloyd's Superpower bar is full, and as Minty Zaki overtook him to overtake Vanellope and Crumbelina, Gloyd activates his Kernel Blaster, shooting 3 Kernel-Missiles at Vanellope, Crumbelina, and Minty Zaki!
Vanellope and Crumbelina: "AAAAAGH!"
Minty Zaki: "OUCH!"
Gloyd: "Haha, see you later!"
Vanellope, Crumbelina and Minty Zaki quickly recovered and got back to the race before the others overtook them. Vanellope then manages to catch up to Gloyd, but Crumbelina and Minty Zaki have their own problem: Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis. The three racers are HOT on Crumbelina and Minty Zaki's butts, and the latter three have a good reason for that. Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis' superpower bars are full, so they activate their skills to get ahead, Taffyta using her Slingshot, Candlehead's Candle Lighters to attack Crumbelina and Minty Zaki, and Rancis' oil sludge slick to immobilize Crumbelina, Minty Zaki, and the other racers behind the three, but as Vanellope, Gloyd, Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis got out of the tunnel into the last stretch…
Crumbelina activates her Linearity Missile thanks to her Superpower Bar fully charged and attacked Taffyta, Candlehead and Rancis, as well as recovering quickly. Shoving the three racers, Crumbelina caught up to Vanellope and Gloyd, and it was lucky for them as Crumbelina's Linearity Missile wears off and back to normal. Taffyta also caught up to the three. Rancis and Candlehead block the other racers out of their way. It's now 4 racers on the final stretch. Vanellope and Crumbelina are now Neck-and-Neck. But as Vanellope is in the lead, without having to use her skill….
Crumbelina: "Looks like Vanny's going to win! She IS an Absolute…. BLOODHEARTED DAREDEVIL!"
Vanellope: "(Gasps and Flashbacks of EVERY part of her life that contains Heather's new unique quote that is not "Mad Man" to the Sugar Rush Racers (Indirectly) and the Players out there, and then the time Arthur told Molly about Heather's undeserving demise) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (Suddenly panics and spins out and out of control, causing Crumbelina, Gloyd, and Taffyta to overtake Vanellope, also followed by Jubileena who overtook Candlehead and Rancis, and Vanellope finished 5th by Spinning out and then crashes into a wall; the kart was DESTROYED into pieces (similar to how the Movie-Portrayed-Ralph was blackmailed to destroy the kart he and the Movie-Portrayed-Vanellope built together) and Vanellope was killed while Crumbelina wins 1st place, Gloyd in 2nd, Taffyta in 3rd, and Jubileena in 4th, Rancis in 6th, Candlehead in 7th, Sticky in 8th and Snowanna in 9th.)"
Ralph: "VANELLOPE!"
Shank: "KIIIIIID!"
Felix: "Oh my land!"
Gloyd: "VAN! Oh no…."
Crumbelina: "Oh no, Vanny, what have I done?!"
Rancis: "Oh my God, Vanellope!"
Everyone was shocked to see Vanellope, but Ralph was the most worried of all. Ralph, Shank, Felix, Tamora, and the racers approach the Corpse of Vanellope and the wreckage of her kart.
Tamora: "MOVE THE HELL OVER JUNKPILES! (Warns the other characters to step aside) MAKE WAY FOR WRECK-IT RALPH!"
Ralph and Shank saw in horror of Vanellope's dead body, and the remains of the kart, but after a while, both Vanellope and the kart blinked continuously for 2 seconds, and were brought back to normal.
Vanellope and the Fresh Mint Cruiser had REGENERATED.
Vanellope and the kart were back in tip-top shape, but Vanellope was deeply traumatized... Crumbelina ran towards Vanellope in tears.
Crumbelina: "Vanellope, Oh GOD! I'm so sorry… I didn't mean to…."
Vanellope then Shrieks in horror, starts to cry, and hugs Crumbelina as she wailed loudly.
Crumbelina: "Vanellope, PLEASE… don't cry… (Starts to tear up herself) I didn't want it to end this way…"
Vanellope's crying was so contagious that Crumbelina also started to cry. Both girls embraced their hugs."
Vanellope: "I'm tr-r-r-yi-i-ng... b-b-bu-t i-t-t wo-n't st-to-o-o-p (In between tears)"
The racers, seeing Vanellope with pity, approached the two racers.
Taffyta: "Crumby…. It's not your fault…. Please…."
Adorabeezle: "You didn't know…"
Crumbelina: "Wh…. What?"
Ralph and Shank walked into their daughter, feeling sorry for that accident she had and having to remember ANOTHER Quote from Heather, one so INFAMOUS than simply "Mad Man"; the quote "Bloodhearted Daredevil" has something to do with Vanellope, yet, Ralph, Felix, Tamora, Crumbelina, and the other characters (Except the 14 other racers) had no idea what it was.
Crumbelina: "(Looks at Felix, Tamora, and Ralph, sorrowfully) Mom... Dad... Mr. Wreck-It Ralph... it's not what it looks like..."
Ralph: "It's okay, Lina... Everyone has traumas... Even i had one... (Remembering about his fear to a hypothetical "Vanellope betrays Shank" scenario had he not warn Vanellope about Going Turbo back in 2015)"
Vanellope then looked up to her parents….
Vanellope: "Mom…. Dad…. I just… I just wanna go home…."
Ralph: "Where to?"
Shank: "Yeah, V, you can visit Slaughter Race to…."
Vanellope: "Diet Cola Mountain…."
Ralph: "Alright, we'll go there. But I can't stay for too…."
Tamora: "Wreck-It, Shank, just…. Go… I'll check up on you three first thing tomorrow morning…"
Felix: "Yeah, Ralph…. Vanellope's Well Being comes first, especially because you adopted her."
Ralph: "(Carries Vanellope and hugs her) Thanks, guys."
Ralph, Vanellope and Shank board Shank's red roadster to Diet Cola Mountain, while the racers drive Vanellope's Kart to said mountain.
Ralph tucked his daughter in, and slept with her.
Vanellope: "Ralph…."
Ralph: "What is it, kid?"
Vanellope: "Sorry I didn't win…"
Ralph: "It's alright, kid. Your well being is far more important…"
Vanellope: "Thank you… Dad….. (Falls asleep)"
Ralph: "Good night, Vanellope…."
Ralph and Vanellope went asleep from 21.00 to 04.00. Meanwhile, Crumbelina drove to Hero's Duty to isolate herself. Kohut and Markowski tried to get her out, but to no avail. Then, Tamora came. She and Felix decide not to Brag about Rancis' Roster Victory for the day due to the incident.
Markowski: "Sarge, Crumbelina is not coming out."
Tamora: "Alright, Markowski, I get the idea. *Sigh* She must be so heartbroken for making her friend panic like that."
Tamora walked to see her tiramisu-caramel daughter.
Tamora: "Hey Crumbs… how are you holding up?"
Crumbelina: "Not good, mom…. I really felt bad."
Tamora: "Look… it's not your fault, like that movie where Wreck-It was portrayed to accidentally take a Cy-Bug into Sugar Rush, even though that didn't happen in real life."
Crumbelina: "No, Mom, it's not that… but it's… when Vanellope suddenly panicked when I said it… I just don't know what's in her heart that freaked her out like that."
Tamora picked Crumbelina up and carried her back to the train station where Taffyta was waiting.
Tamora: "KOHUT, MARKOWSKI, ROOKIE, you three are in charge of tonight's drill and Spot Checks."
Kohut, Markowski, and Rookie: "ROGER!"
Tamora and Crumbelina met up with Taffyta and board the train to GCS with Taffyta driving Crumbelina's kart.
Taffyta: "Crumby, don't feel bad… what you said to Vanellope was an accident."
Crumbelina: "Are you sure?"
Tamora: "Of course she is. Look, I was on the same position as Princess-Gumdrops back then."
Crumbelina: "What? But you're Big and Strong, you re practically a Brave Hero…."
Tamora: "That's because it's in my programming, but I'm only human, and being in a game about War does have Traumas."
Taffyta: "What do you mean, Mom?"
Tamora: "Well, you girls wanna hear the story?"
Crumbelina: "Since I want to make Vanellope feel better, yes, please."
Tamora: "Alright, but It won't be pleasant."
And Tamora told both Taffyta and Crumbelina her story, which was about Dr. Brad Scott, her programmed love life who created the Cy-Bugs as adaptable toys, only to be forced to destroy them when the Higher—Ups at Tamora's Military team decided to do Weapon-Experiments on the Cy-Bugs, which went horribly wrong, and on Tamora's Wedding day, since she failed a Spot-Check, a Cy-Bug devoured Brad, and Tamora was forced to destroy it before it became Brad himself. His pet name for her: Dynamite Gal; had traumatized her when Felix accidentally said it. But to his credit, Ralph, with his kind heart, managed to help Tamora find peace and move on.
Tamora: "Well, that's about it. So, what about Vanellope? Would you guys like to talk about her?"
Taffyta: "Actually, Mom, Crumby, Non of you knew this, but Heather, was Infamous in Vanellope's Heart. When heather played as Vanellope, she would be Super Reckless, ESPECIALLY back when she used to be a Glitch. And when Heather DOES win as Vanellope, her smile and triumph seemed forced. And i always thought to myself, it haunts my heart to see Vanellope under someone as insane as Heather, which is why her title, the "Hell-Defiler" scares everyone, and just goes to show that she is indeed, a Mad man, And whenever i think about it, Heather as Vanellope means one thing: Vanellope IS in danger... of possibly getting hurt due to Heather's recklessness..."
Crumbelina: "Oh dear Sugar... I... i didn't know that... But in a strange way, Vanellope had also missed Heather."
Tamora: "Whohw, that's a messed up irony right there, Crumbs..."
Crumbelina said nothing, but forced her palms to her heart, and griefs in remorse, for something she HADN'T done, and was haunted in "False Guilt".
Taffyta: "Oh, Crumby... you don't have to feel bad about it. That was Heather's wrongdoing."
Tamora: "Yeah, what she said. So, Crumbs, when you meet her again, tell her that it's going to be alright, and that she has nothing to worry about, since it's just a quote, and even if it does have a significant effect on someone, tell them to try and move on from that."
Taffyta: "And besides, we all helped Vanellope race again, right? We all made her strong then, so I'm sure we can repeat that a second time and she can be strong again, don't you worry, Crumby. We'll help her together."
Crumbelina: "Thanks, guys…. (Hugs Taffyta and Tamora as the train arrives.)"
The next day, in the Dawn where Ralph and Vanellope woke up, Shank arrived with some meals: Udon. She came with Minty Sakura, who taught the street racer how to cook Udon.
Shank: "Hey guys, I got early breakfast… Udon…."
Vanellope: "Shank… you went through all that trouble?"
Shank: "Don't worry about it, V…. Sakura here helped me, though."
Ralph, Vanellope, Shank, and Minty Sakura then sat on the Dining table at the mountain, eating Udon.
Minty Sakura: "Vanellope, Crumbelina ga itta koto nit suite amari kangaenaide kudasai. Kanojo wa hontoni sore o imi shite imasendeshita. (Vanellope, don't think too much about what Crumbelina said. She really didn't mean it.)
Vanellope: "Sakura…. I… I just don't know…."
Minty Sakura: "Hora, watashi ga itte iru no wa sore ga jikodatta to iu koto dakedesu. Heather ga toji itta akumeidakai kotoba o obete oku hitsuyo wa arimasen. (Look, all i'm saying is that it was an accident. You don't have to remember that infamous word Heather said back then.)"
Vanellope: "So… um. I should never take it as a big deal?"
Minty Sakura: "Īe, oboete oku hitsuyō ga aru no wa anata ga airashī shōshadearu koto dakedesu. (No, all you need to remember is that you are an Adorable Winner.)"
Vanellope: "Thanks, Sakura…. You know, the Candy Wrapper Triplets are lucky to have a cousin so caring to her friends. How was Crumbelina holding up?"
Minty Sakura: "Ā, Crumbelina wa ī ne. Kanojo wa sore ni tsuite Mama-Tamora to Taffyta-chan to hanashi o shimashita. (Oh, Crumbelina's good. She had a talk with Mommy Tamora and Taffyta-Chan about it.)"
Then, melodius music is heard not far from the mountain, one that gave Vanellope peace in her heart. Outside was Crumbelina, playing her violin, as a way to calm Vanellope down and apologize to her. Gloyd looked at Crumbelina, standing silently as she plays the violin. The pumpkin-prankster was lucky to have fallen in love with someone who cared for her friends, and NO one can prove him wrong. Although, we was a bit disappointed that his girl decided not to run as President for the upcoming election, he knows that one day, people will indeed WANT Crumbelina to run for president of Sugar Rush.
To be continued...
