-==Chapter 7==-
A Chaotic Underground Slaughter
It was Friday, and Arthur disembarked the train and walked to the Arcade, along with his new friends he made in the Study Group. Aside from the usual busy day, Arthur came across Sugar Rush Super Speedway again for his practice run. Jackson and Norton aren't with him today, so he's going solo. Boarding seat #1 and putting on the 3D-Power Goggles, as well as fastening the Seat Belt, Arthur inserts his first quarter of the day, and taps his Tobi-Save card on the Save-Card spot. And of course, the screen shows Vanellope and her messy kart as usual. Olivia takes Seat #2, Martha takes Seat #3, Clark takes Seat #4, Vanessa takes Seat #5, and Jay takes Seat #6. Since these five only play for fun, they don't have Tobi-Save Cards.
As a fun fact, when Sugar Rush was upgraded 2 months before the Plug-in that took place one month before Heather's Death, Vanellope's condition from Litwak's was not only cured and modified to Un-Glitch her, the new code of her was applied to ALL Sugar Rush Super Speedway cabinets. The only difference is the government of the In-Game world. While all the other Sugar Rush games still have Vanellope as Princess, the one from Litwak's which became the First Sugar Rush Super Speedway still ran in a Republic government, so Litwak's Sugar Rush is still a Limited Edition.
Announcer (Arthur's Seat): "You are ready to race!"
Since Arthur started off with Vanellope, he confirms her, while Olivia, Martha, Clark, Vanessa, and Jay must "Chews" their racers. Jim, Carson, Lara, Timothy, and Nelson all wait behind the players in the seats.
Vanellope: "Oh? (Jumps in Excitement) Ha-HAAA!"
Crumbelina (Picked by Olivia): "(Twirls, bows, and pumps her right fist up, smiling)"
Jubileena (Picked by Martha): "(Jumps and points both fore-fingers up) Ha!"
Minty Sakura (Picked by Nelson): "(Pulls up her katana, swings it, and hoists it up with a serious face)"
Rancis (Picked by Vanessa): "(Smugly raises his right fist up and does a Karate-Slice with a vain look on his face)"
Taffyta (Picked by Jay): "(Brushes her hair with one hand and pumps her other one up, carrying a LolliPop.)"
Arthur was still left shocked about his first race with Elvin. He doesn't even know a lot about the purple guy, only that Molly told him that Elvin is an active Doomsday machine, who has NO problem in derailing his opponents. Since no other player is in Sugar Rush, Arthur can wait for challengers. Since he chose "Play Together" but no one is available to challenge him, a notice pops out saying "Waiting for other players to join. Press the Red Mode-Change button to alternate between accepting VS player challenge or Refuse VS Player Challenge". This means while he's waiting for other players to challenge him, he's going to pas that time by racing against 9 A.I. racers.
In Single Player mode, there are three modes: Single Race (One track), Grand Prix (5 tracks at once), and Time Attack (Which is driving Solo against time). He chose Single Race, and Out of the 20 tracks, he chose Caramel Abyss, the same track he raced Elvin the first time. And with him on Solo, he chose Casual mode and set the Camera mode to 3D-MAX and Motion Simulator active like usual. Arthur waited for a short while as the game is loading Caramel Abyss, but out of the blue…
Announcer: "A NEW CHALLENGER!"
Arthur was CHALLENGED to a Multiplayer race, IMMEDIATELY. Then, as the menu pops up, the players choose one specific track: Nougat Underground. Like it or not, Arthur has to comply. They all chose Casual mode, and not long afterwards, Nougat Underground is fully loaded and the race is about to start.
Vanellope: "Here we go again."
Taffyta: "Well, Watch your Back, Vanny!"
Vanellope: "Oh, I will, Taffy-Cakes!"
Taffyta: "Taffy-Cakes? That sounds….. Cute…. I guess…"
Rancis just giggled about his young sweetheart Vanellope, he can't help it about Vanellope's nickname for Taffyta. Crumbelina pulled up next to Vanellope, followed by Gloyd, Candlehead, Jubileena, Sticky, Swizzle, Citrusella, and Nougetsia. After a short while, a group of people gathered around the game cabinet set, and the race is about to begin.
Announcer: "ARE YOU READY? 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! START!"
And the race begins. In Nougat Underground, the track is composed of two laps like Sugar City Highway due to the long stretches of straights, and the Starting/Finish line was in an Outside area, albeit short and placed between two tunnels that make a Long Straight. Along the straight to the tunnel entrance Arthur accelerated, he saw the many glowing golden nougats surrounding the track. In front of the main straight from the Starting/Finish Line is a left gentle long turn towards an In-Tunnel bridge to 2 underground Right and Left slaloms. The first right slalom has Power-Up item blocks, and Arthur got himself a Sweet Seeker. He and Vanellope are currently in 5th place behind Sticky, Citrusella, Nougetsia and Swizzle. Arthur activates the Sweet Seeker.
Vanellope: "RED HOTS COMING RIGHT UP! (the sweet seeker fires three red hots)"
Sticky, Citrusella, and Nougetsia: "OUCH!"
The three red hots hit Sticky, Citrusella, and Nougetsia, allowing Arthur and Vanellope to move to 2nd place. Now behind Swizzle, Arthur and Vanellope maintain 2nd place while Taffyta and Crumbelina caught up to Arthur, Vanellope, and Swizzle. After the Slalom chain, the track goes to a gentle right turn, ascending to a higher level of the underground and into an area full of RED colored nougats with a medium straight to a gentle left curve. Candlehead and Rancis have their own problems with Gloyd and Jubileena, and the three recolors who just got recovered from the attack.
Vanellope: "SWIZZ! I'll get you today!"
Swizzle: "Fat shot, V! I won't let you! (deploys a Sprinkle Spikes power-up)"
Vanellope: "Uh-oh…."
Arthur then swerves Vanellope around the Sprinkle Spikes, dodging them through clean parts of the track, followed by the other racers. Crumbelina in particular is now in 3rd place behind Vanellope and Swizzle. Through the Red colored Nougat area of the underground, the race reaches a Rainbow track, which leads to the first phase of Royal Raceway's Nougat Underground section. This area is where Arthur can see the two tracks of Royal Raceway below him, one is the Rollercoaster track and the other is the shortcut with hazards.
Arthur: "Huh, now I get what Molly meant…."
After this area, the track goes to a gentle right turn back into another cave, now with BLUE and TEAL nougat lights. This is where Vanellope, Swizzle, and Crumbelina got Power-Ups. Swizzle got a Maple Syrup slick, Vanellope got a Cherry Bomb, and Crumbelina got an Ice Cream Launcher. Swizzle deploys the Maple Syrup slick; Arthur and Vanellope planted the Cherry Bomb, and Crumbelina fires the Ice Cream Launcher, only to crash into the cherry bomb. Arthur immediately drove Vanellope AROUND the slick, and Swizzle got attacked by the Ice Cream that Crumbelina shot.
Crumbelina and Swizzle: "AAAAGH!"
Vanellope: "Hahahaha, sorry, guys, looks like I gotta BLAST!"
Olivia: "I'll get you for THAT, Arthur!"
Vanellope thriumpantly drove away from the two racers who were later reset back on track. After the gentle curve comes a Descending-Ascending Long straight. Vanellope's Superpower bar is full, ao Arthur activates the Sugar Nitro at the straight.
Vanellope: "(Glows in Light Blue and picking up speed) WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
But SO DID CRUMBELINA!
Olivia: "I won't let you GET AWAY! (Activates Crumbelina's Skill)"
Crumbelina: "(Tira-Missile summons the Linearity Missile underneath it, and Crumbelina accelerates!)"
Both Vanellope and Crumbelina sped past the Descending and Ascending straight to a Gentle right curve, one that leads to a Descending 360 degree Helix back to the main straight where the Starting/Finish Line sat. They are now equally in the front, overtaking one another. They rush through the main straight to Second and Final Lap of the race, and then, Taffyta and Rancis caught up.
Jay: "Arthur, Olivia, you're going DOWN!"
Vanessa: "Not if I take them out first!"
But Taffyta and Rancis aren't the only ones; Jubileena and Minty Sakura are ALSO behind the four racers.
Martha: "Hey, don't you forget about me!"
Nelson: "Oh yeah, well I'm gonna leave ALL of you in my SUGAR DUST!"
All Player controlled racers are in the front of the pack.
Martha: "(Notices Jubileena's Superpower bar fully charged and that she and Jubileena are in 4th place behind Arthur, Vanellope, Olivia, Crumbelina, Jay, and Taffyta.) GET OUT OF MY WAY! (Activates Jubileena's Skill, Twin-Cherry-Bomb-Rush)"
Jubileena: "HAVE SOME CHERRY ON TOP! (Deploys the 5 Twin Cherry Bombs, 3 to the front, and 2 to the back.)"
The three Twin-Cherry-Bombs HIT Vanellope, Taffyta, and Crumbelina!
Vanellope and Taffyta: "AAAAAAGH!"
Crumbelina: "OUCH!"
Martha and Jubileena sped past the three racers they attacked, while Vanessa, Rancis, Nelson, and Minty Sakura evaded the Twin Cherry Bombs in front of them. Arthur and Vanellope quickly recovered, followed by Jay, Taffyta, Olivia, and Crumbelina. From the First Curve and then the Slalom they raced, the other 4 racers are gaining on the Player controlled racers. As the race reaches the Cross-Path with Royal Raceway, Molly, Swati, and Nafisa walk in. They watch the race as Arthur and his 5 classmates' battle for the Finish Line after the Descending-Ascending Straight and Last Helix.
Arthur: "This is the last straight! I'm gonna win this!"
Jay: "Not if I do it first!"
Olivia: "You're so gonna get it, Jay!"
Taffya and Crumbelina: "Oh Vanny… lookout behind you~uuuuuu~uu…"
Vanellope: "(In the lead, driving away from Taffyta and Crumbelina, but she knew that those two are hot on her.) Oh dear sugar, Taffy Cakes and Crumby are HOT Behind me!"
Jay: "This is my win! (Sees Taffyta's Superpower Bar fully charged, so he activates the Taffy Slingshot Skill, where Slingshot Drones make a Mobile Slingshot, and Taffyta was Hurled Forwards!)"
Olivia: "OH NO YOU DON'T! (Crumbelina's Superpower bar is also fully charged, and Olivia activates the Linearity Missile, and the Missile rocket was shaped under the kart, and Crumbelina blasts forward, both her and Taffyta are catching up to Vanellope.)"
Vanellope was worried, her Superpower Bar isn't fully charged yet, and Arthur at this point will lose the race. Not even a Power-Up was in her hands. The Finish line is already close to Vanellope, but Taffyta and Crumbelina are gaining on her fast. But as their Skills wear out and are still gaining on Vanellope, the latter was still in front, the Finishing Straight becomes truly intense.
Rushing to the finish line they drove, Arthur and Vanellope WON THE RACE with Jay and Taffyta in 2nd and Olivia and Crumbelina in 3rd, Somehow the same outcome with Arthur's first ever race in Sugar Rush Super Speedway, or in Sugar Rush in his life. A little while later, Nelson and Minty Sakura finished 5th, Vanessa and Rancis finished 7th, and Martha and Jubileena finished 8th.
Arthur: "HAHAHA! I WON!"
Olivia: "What the hell?! I was so close to overtaking you!"
Arthur: "Well you nearly got me, seriously, that race was crazy!"
Jay: "And I thought I would win this one!"
Martha: "Screw Winning, at least you all had fun!"
Arthur just laughed, seeing his classmates argue over a race, and since he won, he gets a free game. He saw Vanellope on the Top 3 Winners' Circle with Crumbelina and Taffyta.
Vanellope: "Excellent Race, Everyone! You all nearly got me there!"
Crumbelina: "Great Job on trying to maintain your Speed!"
Taffyta: "Keep it up, and you'll truly be the better racer as Everyone in Litwak's were told to believe!"
Rancis: "But still, I'm winning the next round."
Minty Sakura: "We'll see about that."
Jubileena: "Well, let's go back to the positions for the next one!"
Arthur waited for the next challengers, and he had a fun Friday with his classmates. Who knows they might end up in the was a very busy Friday, after Arthur's victory in Nougat Underground; many other players were interested in racing him. And the reason is quite a lot. Not only Arthur was the saved victim from getting killed and that the savior was an Infamous Arcade Patron that the story became viral on Buzzztube, but also because Arthur also became a new record holder, Second Fastest behind Isaac in the Time Trials.
After a short while, Mike and Nancy came for a visit at the Arcade, and seeing Arthur's classmates garner the two kids' interest. Arthur had just finished a Time Attack in Royal Raceway to practice the track for the second Time Trial next month. He has to maintain the Top 30 to qualify for the Elimination rounds and to the finals. While waiting their turns, Molly was in Seat #1 after Arthur got off to get some lunch.
When Arthur got back, and seeing Molly inserting her first quarter of the day, Molly chose Taffyta of all the racers she's got on her Save Data, the VERY Same character Isaac mains. And in a sudden surprise…
Announcer: "CONGRATULATIONS! You've unlocked a NEW RACER!"
It was Swati, and she just got her shot to pick a Second Racer. Ever since Swati joined the new rendition of Sugar Rush, her main racer is Gloyd, and now, she got Candlehead, and with that, Swati can pick between Gloyd and Candlehead. Not only Sugar Rush is crowded, but so are other games. Arthur checks on Fix-It Felix Jr. and sees many people try to beat Molly's Record and/or Survive longer. It's been a very wild Friday, and knowing that many people will get their shots to play Sugar Rush and join the World Championship of 2018, things will become more special at Litwak's.
That night, when the Arcade closes, Arthur and his friends walked away from the arcade. Molly takes them to Starlight Pizza Palace to have some Pizza dinner. They all talked about Sugar Rush, how fun the game is, and about the upcoming World Championship.
Back at the Arcade, Shank who has been hanging around in Niceland City waiting for her and her team's game update are ready to go back to the Internet, as Slaughter Race's weekday long update that blocks the Worldwide connection feature is complete.
Shank: "Hey, Ralph, It's time for me and the Dark Titans to go back to Metropolis Slaughterville. V, you comin'?"
Vanellope: "Uh, yeah… The Arcade's closed for weekends once per two weeks. A-a-and my campaign for the 2018 election is also going in fine order."
Tamora: "Kid, you and Wreck-It go ahead, we'll cover for you."
Rancis: "Van, good luck out there…."
Taffyta: "Send us postcards too!"
Ralph: "Don't worry, we will."
Felony: "Uh, Shank, the next train to the Internet is arriving."
Pyro: "Yeah boss, you don't wanna be late."
Ralph: "Alright, Kid, come on."
Vanellope: "Ah-O-o-oh Okay!"
Crumbelina: "Wait! I'm coming!"
Jubileena: "Me too!"
Driving the Tira-Missile and the Cherriot, Crumbelina and Jubileena tag along with the gang.
Felix: "Hey, Ralph, uh, you and Shank can take care of Crumbs and Jubie for a while, right?"
Tamora: "Looks like those two have been wanting to check that Slaughter Race game Little Princess Gumdrops has been blowing off steam in."
Shank: "Well, (Looks at Crumbelina and Jubileena) As long as you promise to…."
Tamora: "Let people understand that they are special and Unique?"
Crumbelina and Jubileena: "WE PROMISE!"
Ralph: "Alright, Lina and Jubi, you two and Vanellope wait here at the platform, I'll have a talk with Ryu, Chun Li, Felix and Sarge. (Walks to the four) You sure Crumbelina's going to be alright? I know we all visited the game from time to time, but now two Sugar Rush racers are following my daughter's footsteps."
Felix: "Don't worry, Ralph, we're certain."
Ryu: "We've shown those Slaughterers who's boss, and that M. Bison and Zangief were already comfortable with the Bad-Anon meetings taking place there."
Tamora: "I've gotten familiar to the game from our visits, and it appears that the kids are following their leader. I know Candlehead and Sakura made great campaigns for the elections, but Vanellope still has what it takes."
Ralph: "Alright."
The Internet train arrives, and the 8 cars enter the train. On the way to Slaughter Race, Vanellope is still stressed, especially after her Catastrophic finish that killed her in Sugar Rush, and with her campaign to become president for 2018, she has to blow off some steam somewhere, and when Shank mentioned how Hell Ridge is a new part of Slaughter Race, Vanellope can let loose there. And now, both Jubileena and Crumbelina tag along.
Slaughter Race Announcer: "WELCOME TO SLAUGHTER RACE! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"
Shank: "Ralph, V, we're back online."
Ralph: "Come on, Kid, let's log in."
Ralph and Vanellope walked into their respective Slaughter-Cars and log in.
Pop-Up Description: "Wr3ck1tR4lph Logged In. V4n3ll0p3V0n5chw33t2 Logged In."
As Ralph left with his Semi truck, Vanellope walked to her emerald car, The Green Speeder, all with its current upgrades, and a big Cardboard Box on its side, which contains her very own Helmet Gas Mask, Headphones, a Turquoise Tank Top and Brown miniskirt with Bike Shorts. Vanellope puts her new costume set on, and drove to Hell Ridge. Jubileena and Crumbelina on the other hand, are still in the lobby.
Shank: "(Walks towards the two) Hey, you two need help?"
Jubileena: "How does Vanellope have her name on top of her?"
Shank: "Oh, you wanna register?"
Crumbelina: "Yes, we do."
While Shank helps Crumbelina and Jubileena sign up for Slaughter Race, Vanellope drives along the highway, leaving Metropolis Slaughterville and into the mountains of Hell Ridge.
Update Description: "Welcome to Slaughter Race's new Update: Slaughter Race v5.2. In this new update, new events, upgrade parts, and new quests are added. The new area, Hell Ridge, is finally open. We hope you enjoy the new contents in this update. Thank you, and SURVIVE TO WIN!"
Arriving at Hell Ridge's entrance, Vanellope was AMAZED at that the Industrial Environment. Seeing and feeling how oily and greasy the area is, and how Vanellope is allergic to pollution, she was lucky she got the new gears. Parking in a small parking lot, Vanellope checks out some hot events, but despite wearing the new gears…
Vanellope: "Ah-a-ah-AH-CHOOOUU! (Sneezes loud) Oh dear Sugar…"
Announcer: "HOT EVENTS ARE AVAILABLE!"
Vanellope: "SWEET! (Taps on an Outrun Race HOT EVENT on her car's menu pad.)"
While waiting for the race to start, or would she rather, waiting for other players, Vanellope looks at the cameras linking back to Sugar Rush in her car. Since Vanellope's running her campaign for the 2018 President's position, this is a Necessity. Her campaign managers are Felix and Tamora for the Weekend while she and Ralph are at Slaughter Race. After a short while, more players logged in. Vanellope looks at her car's display screen.
Vanellope: "Dirty Socks Five Thirty Sev… JACKSON?!"
That's right, At Heather's house, Jackson is playing Slaughter Race. His account, DirtySocks537, sports the Bald street thug with Muscular Body, Black Tank Top with sleeveless Jacket, the Dollar Necklace, Jeans, and is driving a Black muscle car. Ever since Vanellope discovered that DirtySocks537 was Jackson in her latest visit at Bad-Anon, Vanellope has been thinking very hard, and had sworn that DirtySocks537 was Jackson's cousin Jimmy who kept yelling at their Grandma about doing his homework.
Realizing that This Jackson WASN'T the one rolling with Minty Zaki and the Veloci-Wrapper, she knew that starting in this race, and from this point onwards, whenever she crosses paths with DirtySocks537 in Slaughter Race, she's NOT going against Minty Zaki, but Jackson HIMSELF. But also realizing that Jackson is Arthur's classmate, Vanellope starts to wonder, WHY THE HELL doesn't Arthur play Slaughter Race.
Number of Players: 9
1. V4n3ll0p3V0n5chw33t2
2. XxX-Bl00dY-B4n63R-xXx
3. DirtySocks537
4. D3R4n63Dw1nN3R
5. 1c3Fr33Z3R-616
6. Cr4Ck3D_G4n65t4
7. CrUmB3L1n4F4Nt45t1c0
8. Xxx-K0lDb01-xxX
9. Jub1l33Qu33n
The 7th and 9th names strikes Vanellope.
Vanellope: "Huh? CrUmB3L1n4F4Nt45t1c0 and Jub1l33Qu33n? Those names sound like…. (Looks at the two cars (A bronze 4-door Hatchback with a hood scoop, a rally spoiler and tank caterpillar tracks for wheels; and a Ruby sports sedan with a bomb cannon on the top as well as a rear spoiler), and sees her Sugar Rush friends with their usernames) CRUMBY, JUBI?!"
Crumbelina: "Hey, Vanellope, looks like this race is going to be amazing, don't you think?"
Vanellope: "Crumby, Jubi, I thought you don't know how to…. Oh, (Realizes Shank had helped her signed up and Vanellope chuckles) Oh, Mom…"
Jubileena: "Say, we got a familiar individual with us in this one."
Vanellope: "Yes, DirtySocks537 is with us!"
Crumbelina: "Oh yeah, He's rolling with Mintz back in Sugar Rush, right before your crash, and that Norton kid with Citrusella was close to him."
Meanwhile, in Heather's house, Jackson is in his bedroom, about to race against Vanellope, but he didn't know about Crumbelina and Jubileena. Back in the game, The race is about to begin, and accompanying the players are 4 NPC cars as the remaining opponents.
Announcer: "ON YOUR MARKS! GET SET! GO!"
And the race begins! Vanellope got herself a Launched-Start, and is leaving the 11 racers behind. But in the first curve, Crumbelina caught up to 3rd Place, behind player Cr4Ck3D_G4n65t4 while Jackson is in 4th place behind her. Unlike in Sugar Rush, where you race from Start to Finish, Slaughter Race's main gimmick is Outrun races, and players must leave their NPC opponents or each other 1000 feet or approximately 300 meters behind to eliminate the opponents and be the last man standing.
Vanellope, Jubileena, Crumbelina, and Jackson raced through the tight mountain roads of Hell Ridge, and Zip through Factories, emitting Black Smokes. Crumbelina and Jubileena also wear similar gears like Vanellope, most notably Crumbelina wearing a Gas-Helmet and Jubileena wearing a Gas Mask similar to Vanellope's. Taking up 2nd place in a hairpin set, Vanellope and Crumbelina are Neck and Neck, but while Jubileena is in 3rd place behind Vanellope and Crumbelina, Jackson is right behind them in 4th place, as well as the others.
Jackson: "(Very sneaky indeed, Vanellope… I know you're going Slaughter Race so you can rig the competition with Arthur. I know it's YOU, you little brat.)"
D3R4n63Dw1nN3R: "Dirty Socks, your ASS is going down, Man!"
Xxx-K0lDb01-xxX: "Back off, Dreaded, You're gonna die tonight!"
Jackson doesn't care about the other players, so as Vanellope and Crumbelina took a left turn at a junction and Jubileena took a right turn due to a shortcut, Jackson SHOVES Xxx-K0lDb01-xxX's classic hot rod, which by a chain reaction SLAMS into D3R4n63Dw1nN3R's sleek modern electric race car, and the two of them were sent into the right turn, and fall into a cliff, and with the two unable to catch up due to their cars crashing, they are eliminated after they were left 1000 feet behind. Meanwhile, Crumbelina is hot behind Vanellope as if she was Minty Zaki when Jackson first rolled with her back home, and Vanellope tries to shake Crumbelina off, until Jubileena came from the other side and SLAMS into Vanellope's emerald car, and Jubileena is now in 2nd place.
Meanwhile, Jackson asserts his dominance by overtaking Vanellope. Knowing how Minty Zaki rolls with Jackson back in Royal Raceway, which was the first time Jackson ever stepped foot in a Sugar Rush driving seat, this situation threatens Vanellope because by the next time Arthur would face Jackson, things will become ugly for him. Vanellope isn't worried about Jackson; she's always looking for a challenge. It's ARTHUR she as worried about; she believes he has no idea about the capabilities of Slaughter Race players.
Arthur had NEVER played video games prior to Heather's undeserving death, and she's afraid that he'll be CRUSHED if Slaughter Race players go rough on HIM. Ever since she logged in 2 years ago, she wasn't fully prepared for what's coming to her. The NPC racers are adjusted to fit her level, but crossing paths with players of high levels than SHE herself was, is where the problem came off. Ralph on the other hand, is SIGNIFICANTLY more durable and prepared since HE was an NPC himself back in his and Felix's game. Vanellope starts to stress out again.
Crumbelina: "Van, why are you worried?"
Vanellope: "It's Arthur. He's friends with Jackson, which is okay, but Jackson came from a breed of racers beyond the capabilities of the Sugar Rush playerbase. And now that we have to face HIM?"
Jubileena: "What's wrong? Isn't that basically the same when he rolls with Minty and you both race?"
Vanellope: "HEY, SHE ISN'T HERE AND WE'RE FACING HIM FOR REAL! THERE'S NO VELOCI WRAPPER, IT'S A CUSTOM BUILT WILD MUSCLE CAR WITH JACKSON'S OWN AVATAR!"
Vanellope accelerates in a state of panic that she took a Cliffside turn on another junction, overtaking Crumbelina and Jubileena who would later follow suit, but SO are the others. The 4 NPC European cars caught up to Vanellope, Jubileena, and Crumbelina. These 4 cars then attempt to knock the three out of the street. Vanellope, Jubileena, and Crumbelina pass a Railroad Crossing, and with a SHOCKING Surprise, the 4 European cars got BIFFED by an ONCOMING Freight Train whose Flatcars Jackson jumped over (Because of some ramps which are placed on that area.)
Crumbelina managed to take 1st place, leaving Vanellope in 2nd, Jubileena in 3rd, and Jackson in 4th. The other players were too busy with themselves that they didn't realize they took a WRONG street after Crumbelina went to another, that they are eliminated. Now, only Vanellope, Crumbelina, Jubileena, and Jackson remain. Through more factories and crossing junctions, Crumbelina heads off to the Highway, which is dubbed: The Massacre highway. In this highway, Jackson overtook Vanellope and Jubileena, and he is about to overtake Crumbelina.
Vanellope tries her best to get rid of her stress, but combined with her intense racing in this game, Vanellope is losing focus, until… CRASH! Crumbelina SHOVES Jackson's car into a Ramp that SENDS the muscle car FLYING Off the Highway and Lands into a Parking Lot, and without any branch to take him back to the highway, Vanellope, Jubileeena and Crumbelina are the only remaining racers as Crumbelina had eliminated him, leaving only the three of them behind. But since Vanellope is slowing down due to not focusing on the race, Crumbelina and Jubileena left her behind, and now it's only those two left. Crumbelina took a detour to the streets to shake Jubileena off, but Jubileena kept up to her. It was, until a random bus came from the other side and BIFFS into Jubileena's car, Causing her to Crash and leaving Crumbelina the victor.
Later, Crumbelina, Jubileena, and Vanellope are on the Top 3 Winners' circle, cheered on by the NPC fans, and win their Prize money, while the 6 players are sulking on the Backstage, and the NPC opponent racers are THROWN OFF into a Mud Pit. After the results scene, Vanellope, Jubileena, and Crumbelina drove off to the mini market Vanellopefirst drove around in her first ever race with Ralph back in 2015. The Mini Market has a resting area, where Vanellope, Jubileena and Crumbelina are eating Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream, and the parking area shows Vanellope, Jubileena, Crumbelina and their cars parked in the area.
Crumbelina: "Enjoying your chocolate ice cream, Vanny?"
Vanellope: "(Eats her ice cream)"
Jubileena: "Van? Are you okay?"
Vanellope: "Not really….."
Crumbelina: "(Worried and feels guilty) Look…. Vanellope, I… I'm really sorry…. I didn't mean for that…"
Vanellope just smiled, and walking towards Crumbelina and Jubileena, the former glitch girl hugs them both.
Vanellope: "Crumby…. It's not your fault…. But I'm just…."
Crumbelina: "(Speechless) Scared? Don't worry, I'm here…"
Jubileena: "And... I'll make it easy for you two."
Jubileena and Crumbelina tighten the hug, giving Vanellope a sense of warmth. Vanellope closes her eyes in peace, but when she opens her eyes, she saw Jackson and Norton racing again, and a glimpse of a player by the username of dAMagEd_gOodZ, but then they got WRECKED from the Side by Ralph and his truck. Vanellope and Crumbelina saw Ralph biff Jackson and dAMagEd_gOodZ, and the two girls giggled about it.
Crumbelina: "Vanny, your dad's a really good racer, maybe he should become part of the Roster, I mean he's got his own Candy Truck."
Vanellope: "But, if Ralph's racing in Sugar Rush, who wants to wreck the building, if you can't trust the homeless adopted people? I mean, Q-Bert, his friends, and the homeless people are supposed to be Bonus levels. It feels bad If I wish Fix-It Felix Jr. gets unplugged just so that Ralph gets to be a Sugar Rush racer."
Jubileena: "Oh dear Sugar, I forgot."
A while later, Vanellope, Jubileena and Crumbelina drive away from the mini market, and they set off to find more races. While roaming around the streets, they see glimpses of Shank racing in her RX-7 as some of the races involve Shank's presence. About a few minutes later, another series of HOT EVENTS are available. Vanellope picks one of them, and is off to another game. Crumbelina and Jubileena take different HOT Events as well.
Announcer: "PRECIOUS CAR-GO! Deliver this car to Bert's Chop Shop! But WATCH OUT for Shank's Crew and the Police!"
Vanellope's HOT EVENT, Precious Car-GO is in preparation. Switching from The Green Speeder to a modified black supercar with sleek body design and gold stripes, she drives off from Sequoia Coasts to Metropolis Slaughterville, where the Chop Shop is located.
Announcer: "READY! SET! START!"
And the race begins! Vanellope accelerates and drives along the Big Road, more like Stroad, due to being a Giant Street Road Hybrid, which is too Car Friendly and dangerous for pedestrians. As Vanellope follows the GPS arrow, she can hear the Police Cars from behind her. Looking at her mirror are Police SUVs. From watching the Wreck-It Ralph movie and remembering the time King Candy went Rogue, Vanellope uses crazy maneuvers to disable them, and evading road blocks like the now expert racer she is made to believe despite being the Beginner Friendly Sugar Rush Racer in REAL LIFE.
While she managed to take out the Police Cars, more came to view, and these would be Police Supercars. She has to use Pursuit breakers to shake them off, but they're not her only problem. Targeting the black supercar is the Dark Titans crew, and Shank has eyes on Vanellope's butt.
Shank: "V! HEADS UP!"
Felony: "You're going down!"
Vanellope: "Not this time, Shank!"
Shank and Felony then drive up to Vanellope and try to squish her, but Vanellope brakes, causing Shank and felony to crash. Vanellope evades the two who began to chase her again in the hopes to destroy the supercar. Butcher Boy swerves from an alley with his Bull-mobile, trying to slow Vanellope down, but Vanellope swerves in the opposite direction and overtakes Butcher Boy and his wrecked car. Vanellope is approaching the chop shop, but Pyro, Little Debbie, and their cars approach from behind, and grouping with Shank, Felony and Butcher Boy, the Dark Titans approach Vanellope, but so did the police.
Vanellope reaches the Chop Shop, enters the garage, and the adversaries crash to each other. And with that, Vanellope wins the event. Shortly afterwards, she drives out of the shop with The Green Speeder again. Never in her life had Vanellope played a "Precious Car-GO!" event where her usual car is swapped for another. Crumbelina just won another race of hers.
Crumbelina: "Hey, uh, Van… how's the campaign?"
Vanellope: "Oh, right, well, it's going good for now."
Jubileena: "We gotta return by Monday Morning."
Then, Ralph arrives with his truck and came to a stop.
Ralph: "Hey, kids."
Crumbelina: "Hey, Mr. Wreck-It Ralph, having a good time?"
Ralph: "Yeah, I sure did. Shank did say something about Hell Ridge."
Vanellope: "Ralph, can I be with you, please?"
Ralph: "Uh, sure. You two can join in the next race. I'm about to pick the next event."
Jubileena: "Um, Mr. Wreck-It Ralph, can I ask you something?"
Ralph: "What is it, Jubi?"
Jubileena: "I don't want to sound…. Bad… but… if one day, you and Dad's (Felix) game gets unplugged…"
Crumbelina: "Will you race with us?"
Ralph: "Hmm?"
Vanellope: "Well, the movie did portray me to offer you a place in the Castle…"
Ralph: "Of course, I'd be happy to. But I won't count that yet. I still love my job as the Wrecker for Niceland City."
Vanellope: "I'm really glad to hear that, Dad…. (Hugs Ralph)"
Jubileena and Crumbelina: "Awwwww….."
Ralph: "Hey, uh, Vanellope, what's been on your mind?"
Vanellope: "Uh, Dad, it's about Arthur…"
Ralph: "What's up with him?"
Vanellope: "I'm worried because well, you know how Slaughter Race players play, and I'm not sure if Arthur is ready to face them back in Sugar Rush."
Crumbelina: "I've noticed that Vanellope's been stressed out. This player by the name DirtySocks537 encountered us back in Hell Ridge."
Ralph: "Oh, you're concerned about Jackson?"
Vanellope: "Yes…. Arthur may be friends with him and that Norton guy, but…. Sugar Rush and Slaughter Race are different. I mean, Jackson is rolling with MINTY ZAKI for Sugar's Sake! But in this place, he's rolling by himself, and I'm just…. I don't know what Arthur would face in the World Championship…. I just don't want him crushed just because he never played Slaughter Race… He's gone through pain and suffering before he rolled with me back when he first came."
Ralph: "(Tightens the hug, giving Vanellope comfort, and loosens it) Vanellope, I don't want you to worry about it. It's not too late for Arthur to observe Slaughter Race players. If he can learn from Sugar Rush, he can learn from Slaughter Race without even touching the game. All he needs to do is to observe how people roll in Slaughter Race, and once he's got a lot learnt, he'll come out on top. I'm 100% certain that in 2018, Arthur will be the Adorable Winner."
Hearing Ralph's wise words made Vanellope smile. The three then go back to racing. And by Sunday Night, it's time to go back home.
Shank: "Hope to see you again soon, guys."
Vanellope: "Sure. And, Farewell for now (Hugs Shank) Mom…"
Leaving Slaughter Race and back to Litwak's, Vanellope and Crumbelina drove back to Sugar World. They're just in time for the next Roster competition. Every character is on the V.I.P. Grand Stand, preparing their bets for Bragging Rights.
Gloyd: "Ladies, you're just in time. Quick, Press your red buttons on the altar if you want to join!"
Sonic, Arle, and NiGHTS: "Taffyta Muttonfudge!"
Ryu and Terry: "Candlehead!"
Felix and Tamora: "Rancis Fluggerbutter!"
Vanellope: "R-Right!"
And after a short while, the race starts and ends with Vanellope in 1st, Taffyta in 2nd, Snowanna in 3rd, Rancis in 4th, Jubileena in 5th, Sakura in 6th, Minty Zaki in 7th, Nougetsia in 8th, and Crumbelina in 9th. The racers then gather together at the altar while everyone cheers for them, and the betting losers are griefing in humiliation. At Diet Cola Mountain, Vanellope recalls what Ralph told her to not worry about Arthur, since players are way smarter than what characters were told to expect.
