Chapter 6: The Makings of a Kart

Hiccup and Astrid's group kept on falling until they crash into some sort of pit.

"Yuck! Stuck in some sort of pit!" Pleakley exclaims in disgust as the others look to see where they are.

"What is this?" Astrid ask puzzled as she looks around at the pit.

The group checks the sign that is attached to a candy cane nearby. Boss reads, "'Nesquick Sand'?"

"Hey! Chocolate milk!" Numbuh 3 exclaims with a happy giggle.

"Kuki! This is this world version of quicksand!" Numbuh 4 exclaims in alarm to the girl.

"Quicksand?!" Hiccup yelps in alarm. The gang are going to be in trouble of getting killed unless they get a way out and fast.

Wander looks up and smiles as he saw some vines above everyone, speaking, "Hey! I will hop out and get us one of those vines!"

"Right, we better get one because Numbuh 5 ain't getting sunk here!" Numbuh 5 complains in concern over the thought of being killed in candy version of quicksand!

Hiccup does his best to jump but he is stuck. The alien chuckles nervously, trying his best to get out but with no success.

"Da da da dad, Wander can't hop, he's hopless!" Hiccup exclaims in worry. "Hopeless, we're going to drown here!"

"I don't think Stitch would get out of this!" Angelilo exclaims frantically, trying her best to get out to no success. "We're stuck in powder chocolately goodness!"

"Oh, the irony that we're going to drown in chocolate milk!" Pleakley sobs a bit. "Oh, I'm too pretty to die!"

"'Pretty'?"

"Okay, quit moving or you will sink faster!" Jumbaa exclaims to the others. If they kept moving too faster, they will risk sinking faster in this stuff!

"He's right!" Sylvia gasps as the gang are sinking quicker in the quicksand stuff. "Quick moving around, stop moving and thrashing!"

The worried ones kept on panicking and slapping the powder chocolate around, sinking some more. Astrid groans out in annoyance by those freaking out, "Will you get a hold of yourselves?!"

Astrid and Sylvia slapped the worried in hopes to stop them. Suddenly, everyone heard laughing, causing them to see laughing taffy laughing as they go downward.

"What the...?" Numbuh 5 ask, confused by what she's seeing here.

"Laffy Taffy!" Numbuh 3 exclaims with a giggle. "Those things always got a good sense of humor!"

"Yeah, I've noticed."

"The vines, they really are Laffy Taffy!" Hiccup exclaims in shock as he saw this.

"Of course! They're attracted to what makes them laugh!" Jumbaa exclaims with a laugh of his own. This is perfect! "Everyone, try to find a way to make them laugh!"

"Like this?" Angelilo ask as she makes a funny face, along with some noises. "Booga wooga!" This made the raffy laughs a bit.

"Yeah, I am not doing that." Fixer said dryly. No way is he making funny faces!

"Astrid, hit me again." Hiccup said, getting an idea on how to do this.

Astrid shrugs as she slaps Astrid...only lightly. This causes the taffy vines to retreat in disappointment, groaning, "Awww!"

"That isn't hard enough!" Pleakley exclaims in worry. Astrid needs to hit Hiccup hard enough to get a big laugh.

"Not funny enough, right. Hit me harder." Hiccup insists to Astrid. This causes her to look worried as she hesitates a bit. No one ever asked her to hit them on purpose before!

"Look, you're a nice guy, I can't..." Astrid begins to speak in hesitation. She can't hit someone like Hiccup!

"Right, I can't do the same thing to Wander." Sylvia said in concern, not wanting to hit a nice guy.,

"Madams, the arcade is depending on us. Now do your duty, that's an order!" Hiccup exclaims sternly to the two girls. They just looks worried, not sure what to do here.

"No! You gotta do it right. You girls are stupid cowards, with Astrid not saving a stupid boy from a monster and Sylvia being ugly and smelly!" Numbuh 4 exclaims quickly. That did it as Astrid and Sylvia angrily hits Numbuh 4 in the face hard, giving him a black eye. This made the taffy laugh like mad. "See? Works every time."

"It's working!" Wander exclaims, seeing the taffy coming down. "Hit us again!"

"But his eye." Sylvia said, concerned for Numbuh 4's eye. Although he did went too far in calling her and Astrid out like cowards, she was worried for the injury.

"Relax, I can fix it."

Wander took his hammer out and taps Numbuh 4, causing him to be restored. The boy exclaims, "Wow! You're like one fast healer or something!"

"See? We can fix ourselves next to others." Hiccup admits proudly to Astrid and Sylvia. Even if he and Wander gets hurt, they can always fix themselves.

"Well, makes sense." Boss said thoughtfully at that.

"So go..." Hiccup was interrupted when Astrid hits him in the face, causing his nose to swell. "OW! SAM FRANTASTIC!" Wander heals him quickly. "Okay, now again!"

Sylvia hits Wander in the face, knocking his teeth right out. This causes the alien to remark, "Wowie! You mean business!"

Wander got to work on healing himself, restoring his own teeth. Astrid now hits Hiccup again as the others spots the taffy coming closer. All that hitting is making them laugh.

"Ouch! Yikes on the bikes!" Hiccup groans a bit in pain.

"'Yikes on the bikes'?" Numbuh 5 ask a bit disbelieved by what the kid just said.

"They're getting closer, get ready." Angelilo said to the others as the taffy are getting closer.

Meanwhile, Hiccup and Wander kept getting slapped and hit while they heal themselves. Wander laughs as he heals himself while getting hit, "Wow! We're...killing...them! Comedy gold!"

As the two kept on getting healed, Fixer tries to reach a vine near him, but groans out, "Can't reach it!"

"Relax, I got this!" Wander exclaims as he grabs the vine along with Sylvia.

Sylvia held her tail as the others grabs it. Soon everyone is pulled upward and right out of the danger area. Astrid looks surprised and looks at the heroic Hiccup who smiles at her right back. The girl looks at him in a daze...something she hasn't felt in a long time since Casper's death.

Everyone is put onto a single striped branches safely. As whimsical singing is heard, Hiccup and Astrid smiled at each other...as did Wander and Sylvia for some reason.

"Where's the music coming from?" Pleakley ask confused to hear the music from out of nowhere.

"Just the Laffy Taffy humming." Jumbaa remarks with a chuckle. It's true, everyone looks behind to see the taffy humming before some of them shape themselves to a heart near Hiccup/Astrid and Wander/Sylvia.

"Oooooh, I love this song." Numbuh 3 said lovingly as she hugs Numbuh 4, making him blush.

"Err...err....HEY! ENOUGH ALREADY!" Numbuh 4 exclaims in alarm. Astrid quickly snaps out of it and took her gun out, firing like mad. That made the vines yelps and removes themselves from the area. "Thank you!"

"Awww, you ruined it."

"Enough with the goo-goo eyes already." Astrid said, recovering from the incident. "We've got work to do, come on."

"Right, and this time, don't step on any further double stripes." Boss advises the others in precaution as everyone take their departure. "We can't make another false move next time."

As everyone lands on the ground from the tree, Fixer checks the radar, hearing a buzzing noise. He sighs, "Well, lost the Heartless, madam."

"Come on, let's get a better view from the air." Sylvia said with a sigh. "Hey, Wander. Think you can fix that shuttle?"

Wander grins as he held out his hammer, saying proudly, "Can do!"

As the group takes their leave to get back to work, Angelilo said, "I hope Hoagie and Stitch are doing all right."

"Relax, I'm sure that whatever is going on, those two aren't getting into mischief." Jumbaa assures Angelilo, patting her on the head. "What we need to worry about is the Heartless."

"Well, we're hoping it's not causing trouble either."

Unknown to everyone however, deep below the ground, a familiar Heartless is near a piece of candy tree. It looks at it before eating a piece. The Heartless screeches as it transforms into the color of the tree then leaves.

Looks like Heavy's group didn't get rid of that Heartless as they thought they did!

---------------

Hoagie, Stitch and their group arrives at some sort of factory that looks like a bakery that looks similar to a gigantic cake with candle chimneys. It is marked "Total Drama Bakery."

"So is this the place?" Sev whispers quietly to DJ."

"You got it." DJ, the one who led the group here, said with a nod. "They keep the carts made already locked up with tight security. But we can get a better one right here."

The group snuck past a security area, hiding from the guard known as Noah who is sleeping. His TV is on as "My Little Heroines" is being shown. It is the Beetlejuice episode.

"All right, your highness. Snowy and I are ready." Ferdinand said. He is ready to do battle to help save Kingdom Hearts at all cost.

"Admirable, Captain Ferdinand, but Anakin and I called in additional back-up just in case." Obi-Wan said with a nod, knowing that Ferdinand and Snow White will need some help on this.

"What do you mean, Uncle Obi Wan?" Snow White ask her uncle puzzled.

"You'll see." Anakin said as the Justice League [comprised of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lanterns Hal Jordan AND John Stewart, Aquaman, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter and Black Canary] and the Avengers [comprised of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, the Vision, War Machine, Falcon, Giant Man and the Wasp] all arrive.

Wonder Woman/Captain America bows at once, speaking at the same thing, "You sent for us, your highnesses?"

"Yes we did. We are about to go after a truly powerful and dangerous enemy." Obi-Wan said to the leaders of both groups seriously.

"The only two villains to my knowledge who would be powerful enough where the combined might of three demigods, the Captain of the Royal Guards, the Justice League AND the Avengers to deal with would be - Beetlejuice and Darkseid." Batman said in his usual dark tone of voice.

"In this case, it's Beetlejuice. And we are to act as a diversion to give Blossom as much time as possible to get her friends back to normal so they can hit him with the Elements of Harmony." Anakin said, explain the situation.

Wonder Woman gives a salute to the rulers as she exclaims, "You can count on us, Your Highnesses!"

"Us too." Captain America said, giving out a salute of his own.

"Beetlejuice might be one of the most powerful villains you have ever faced, but the combined power of ALL of us should make for an excellent diversion, even for one such as Beetlejuice." Superman said, cracking his knuckles in determination.

"That's the general idea." Snow White said with a nod.

"Shh." Gwen said to everyone as everyone sneaking move forward with Heavy checking on the guard to make sure he doesn't wake up.

The group snuck below the candy cane boarder, though Heavy bump it slightly. They arrived at an area that is marked "No Glitches" with an exaggerated picture of Gwen that has an X on herself.

"Phew, close one." Mike said, relieved to get by Noah without a fuss.

"Right, too close." Zoey said in agreement with her love.

So far, we're in. That's a good part." Trent said as the others follows Gwen into the factory.

"The door to the carts should be right....oh mama!" DJ said as he sees two bears dressed as swat officers ahead.

"Darn it, two swat bears, we'll never get in." Mike said disappointed.

"Scorch, hold this." Sev said, handing his gun to his fellow soldier. "Stitch, with me?"

"Ohhh, meega get where this is going!" Stitch said excited.

The two approach the bears and soon a lot of fighting noise is heard. Many of the watchers are wincing and covering their eyes and ears to not watch but when it stopped, the two bears were unconscious and handcuffed together with Sev and Stitch standing triumphantly.

"Nice going guys." Gwen said impressed.

"Good job, little buddy." Hoagie said to Stitch.

"Did you have to be so rough with them?" DJ asked, feeling sorry for the bears.

"It's not like we had a lot of options, DJ, besides they'll be fine, might have a headache but they'll live." Trent said reassuring his friend.

"All right, big guy, bust it open." Gwen said to Heavy with a smile.

"What's this?" Heavy ask as he points to the sign of Gwen. "Full on criminal, ja?"

"Hey, didn't we shake on it?"

"Well, Stitch was once a criminal but he got better." Hoagie said to Gwen, pointing out how Stitch used to be a criminal himself.

"Right, bust the door open, big guy." Scorch said to Heavy in determination.

Heavy hits the door down, busting it and destroying the door in the progress. Gwen, pleased, dashed inside as she exclaims, "Thanks, Jeeves!"

"Well, we're in, that's the good part so far." DJ said as the others follows Gwen into the factory, entering some sort of dark room.

"So uh, what is this place?" Heavy ask as he looks around the dark room. "Where are the karts?"

"Right, and how come we don't see the props of the avatars used daily?" Stitch ask with a frown as he looks around as well.

“Didn’t I say they kept the already made ones locked up tight?” DJ ask his friends, reminding them what he said earlier.

Gwen hops onto the start button, causing the whole room to light up. There are areas marked "Select Your Kart" with different variety of them. Gwen explains, "Well, we have to make one, duh!"

"What? Non, non!" heavy protests in shock upon hearing this. Him, make a cart? "Gwen, bad idea, trust me. I don't make things, I break them!"

"And we're only soldiers, kid, not inventors." Scorch explains to Gwen in concern.

"Hoagie is the only inventor here." Stitch remarks, pointing out a fact. "And even then..."

"Well, Gladys, time for you to step out of your comfort zone then." Gwen remarks with a deadpan snarker attitude.

"Yeah, unless you guys can break into the tight security place, this is the only way we can get a cart without any problems." Trent explains a fact to the group.

"So you want your boyfriend to help ya?" Hoagie ask with a smile as he points to Trent, making him blush. "Looks like he wants to."

"What? Now, hang on! We're...just friends. Yeah..."

"Suuuuure, right." Stitch remarks sarcastically as he roll his eyes at this.

"Denial!" The Freelance Police remarks in amusement at this.

"We will pick our own custom ones, since it is a 4 player game after all." Gwen said, preparing to get the whole progress started. "This one would put all of Chris's challenges to shame!"

"Right, so let's get to it!" Zoey exclaims with a smile, clapping her hands.

"Okay...perfect for me!" Mike exclaims, looking at a shape of a car for himself to use as did Zoey.

"Oh yeah, this is the one I want!" Trent exclaims excitedly as he found a different shaped car, selecting it.

Gwen came to a third selection that looks like a red car, exclaiming, "Oh yeah! This is a good one."

Once the players selected their shapes, the curtains lifted, showing similar factories. A voice booms out, "Hello, players, and welcome to the BAKERY! Time to bake a kart!"

As the players rushed inside, the lights are turned on. Heavy yelps in shock, "What's this? Another game?"

"It's a mini-game." DJ explains clearly to Heavy.

"Well, this is new." Sev said with a slow nod. Looks like a mini-game to make a new kart for this game.

"Get ready, because this mini-game is a tough one!" Trent warns the others to prepare themselves for this mini-game.

"You got 1 minute to win it!" The voice exclaims excitedly.

"What?!" Some of the others exclaims in shock at the timer. They got 1 minute to make a kart?!

Suddenly a buzzer sound is heard. Gwen dashes on, calling out, "Heavy, come on!"

"GO!" The voice booms out as the drivers got into the position of baking, holding the wheels. "MIXING!" Items fell from the holes in one part of the factory as they are tilted from one way to another into certain slots. "Put ingredients into the bowl, throw away the trash."

"Hair brush, non! Underpants, non, non!" Heavy exclaims, protesting which items don't belong in the cart.

"Hey, you're getting it wrong, kids!" Sev calls out to the Total Drama kids in frustration.

"Hey, I'm trying my best here!" Gwen protests as she and her pals struggles to move the right ingredients to the right slots.

"Right, we haven't played this game before!" Mike admits in frustration.

"We better do something or they will get a bad cart!" Hoagie exclaims, worried that the racers' carts would look terrible when it's done.

Heavy groans then rushes up to the controls. He got onto the mechanism as he snaps, "Argh! Let Heavy up there, I will do it!" The villain punches the right ingredients into the right bowl, putting the other stuff somewhere else. "Non, ja! Ugh, gross! Milk, triple ja!"

As the others look, heavy was hit by the flour, being knocked over to the Freelance Police as they collided into the bowl. By this time, the voice booms out, "BATTER UP!" The heroes saw the blenders coming in, making them yelps as they were mixed in with the ingredients.

Soon the batter was put into the pan while Heavy and the Freelance Police were tossed down. Zoey, frowning, protests, "Hey, come on!"

"Best to hurry!" DJ calls out to the group quickly.

"Right, no sleeping on the job!" Gwen exclaims, scolding the trio who are recovering with a messy Heavy looking dizzy.

As the racers rushes to the pump, the voice booms out, "BAKING!" They then hops right onto the pump. "Pump up the heat and holds the right perfect temperature."

Gwen works to hop onto her pump but it isn't going up. Struggling, she groans, "Hey! Some help here?"

"On it." Heavy said as he ends up slamming onto the pump, but that only causes the temperature to drop.

"Heavy!" Some of the heroes yelps at this.

"Ja, no problem. Just give me this thing right here!"

Heavy snatch the hope and blows hard right into it. To the gang's amazement, the temp begins rising a bit. Gwen cheers on, "All right, good! A little more! Okay, that's it! Hold it, hold it; hold it!" Heavy is trying his best to do so, with his cheeks bulging and turning red, purple and blue. He may not be able to hold it in for much longer!

"He's going to lose it!" Scorch exclaims in worry at how long Heavy is doing this. It won't be long before...

Luckily, the machine is heard dinging, meaning that it's over. Some of the heroes cheers on, "Yes!" Soon the mix went to the other side as Heavy drops the hose in exhaustion. That was tiring, even for him!

"Come on, get up, Heavy! 15 seconds!" Gwen insists eagerly and in determination.

"DECORATING!" The voice booms as everyone rushes over to a part with decorations.

"Wheels first." Trent advises as the wheels are put onto the cart first.

"How many?" Stitch ask the group curiously.

"4, duh!" Gwen exclaims, rolling her eyes as if being asked the most stupidest question in the game.

"Got it." The Freelance Police and soldiers said. The spatula was hit 4 times each as wheels came out of the pin for the carts. They should be close to getting done here.

"All right, frosting! A buttload of that crap!"

"Oh yeah, yummy!" Hoagie exclaims excitedly.

"No problem." Heavy said with a smile. He is getting the hang of this mini-game now.

The gang hit the spatula. Of course, when Heavy hits, he hit the frosting hard, knocking it down. The ingredients are soon poured down, gobbling down right onto the cars.

"Uh oh." Some of the heroes said in concern over this mess.

"Well, maybe the cars would look better after it's done." DJ said nervously.

"Quick, last part!" Stitch orders quickly.

Everyone leaves the area as the ingredients are knocked over a bit while the baking noises are heard. Soon the buzzer is heard with the car logos glowing a bit. The voice said, Time's up and congratulations! You did it! Here're your new carts!"

As the garbage doors open up, decoration and frosting came out of the machine. To everyone's notice, the carts looks very messy, looking like something out of a disaster area.

"Uh oh." The Freelance Police said in worry. This may not look good.

"Hoo boy." Heavy said, hitting his face in embarrassment. As the Total Drama racers approach the cars in caution, the big guy sighs, "Look, kids. Heavy tried to warn ya. I don't make things, I only break..."

"I don't believe this..." Zoey said in shock.

"Yeah, me either." Mike said with a slow nod while looking at his new car.

"This...it is is..." Trent begins to say, struggling to say something.

"I LOVE IT!" The four racers cheers on, smiling while jumping for joy.

"Wait, you do?" Heavy ask in surprise. Despite the carts being a big mess, Gwen and her pals actually enjoy them?

"Yes, I love it!" Gwen exclaims with a smile on her face.

"Yatta!" The ones who got their new carts exclaims in happiness and delight.

"Love it, love it; love it!"

"Well, okay, not what I imagined, but it's great." Zoey said with a chuckle. Heavy couldn't help but smile a bit. This is the first time as a villain that he did something that someone else loved.

"Right, adorable and amazing too." Trent said in agreement.

"I can't believe we made this stuff!" Mike exclaims with a happy laugh. He has made his own cart and it's his now!

"Look, it got a real engine and check out the wheels!" Gwen exclaims in delight as she points to certain parts of the cart, kissing the wheels. "Oh, I love it! I finally have a real kart!"

"Wow, I can't believe we will be racing in these!" Zoey exclaims with a squeal that could put Katie and Sadie's to shame. The kids rushes over to the pastry bags to snatch a few.

"Come on, a work of art must be signed."

"Well, everyone, we must be proud of ourselves." Sev said to everyone else with a smile.

"Yeah, we made the kids happy, that's the most important part." Scorch said in agreement. It felt look to be helping a civilian in need.

"Stitch could only hope weega don't get caught." Stitch said in concern.

"Come on, no one knows we're here. What could go wrong now?" Hoagie ask his partner with a shrug. No one else knew about the intruders so why would there be a problem?

Unknown to the group, Noah was snorting as he speaks into his sleep, "Katie, huh, what?" The guard woke up, grunting a bit. "What, mmmm?"

Noah looks around, sniffing a bit. What is that smell? The guard looks and saw smoke coming from the factory. This made him shocked and alarm, someone must be baking a cart in there! Noah looks at the security camera and saw, to his horror, Gwen on the screen.

Noah didn't waste time to grab the radio, yelling in it in a big panic, "This is an emergency! Noah here, the glitch is in the bakery! Get me King Mxyzplk!!"

Inside, the gang finish up with the last of the decorations with Heavy finishing up his signature onto Gwen's cart. The big man for the first time in a long time felt good about what he did.

"There, see, Heavy?" Gwen ask Heavy with a grin. "You aren't a complete disaster after all. You did make someone like me happy."

"Ja, that is true." Heavy said with a smile. Gwen blinks as she saw something that made her smirk.

"Whoa, you have teeth? Weird. I haven't seen you smile before."

"What? No, no, I am not smiling...just gassy, okay?"

"Right, sure." Sev remarks as Scorch just smile, shaking his head in disbelief. Heavy can try to deny, he is smiling.

"Well, come on, everyone, let's get these carts out before we get into trouble." Trent said to everyone. It's best to leave before trouble shows up.

However, the garage door opens up much to everyone's alarm. The king and his men arrives as Myx points, yelling, "Hold it right there, glitches and Users!"

"Oh, you have to jinx it!" Stitch exclaims to Trent with an annoyed groan.

"Wait, is that Wreck It Heavy?!"

"Uh oh..." Some of the heroes said in worry. Not good, they're all in trouble, especially since Heavy and the Freelance Police defy Mxy by staying in Total Drama Rush!

Quickly, Mike and Zoey hits some icing, knocking Myx and his officers to the ground. DJ calls out quickly, "Time we get out of here!"

"Ja, start the kart, start it!" Heavy exclaims as he put Gwen right into her kart. Time for the racers to get into their karts and make a break for it.

However, Gwen looks at the controls in worry as did Mike and Zoey who are put into their own carts. The Goth Girl mumbles, "Well, I..."

"Just start already!" Trent exclaims frantically as he starts his cart. The rest of the gang got onto their friends' carts, preparing to make a getaway.

"Hey, what are you waiting for?!" Stitch yells impatiently, noticing that Gwen, Mike and Zoey are the only ones having trouble with their carts.

"Right, get your carts moving." Scorch said in agreement.

"Err,, yeah, about that...I don't know how to drive a real kart." Gwen admits to her friends meekly.

"You don't what?!" The Freelance Police yells out in shock and disbelief.

"Neither does Zoey and I," Mike said nervously, rubbing the back of his head while doing so.

"What do you mean you don't know how to drive a cart?!" Stitch yells out frantically.

"Well, they don't know how to cart, but I do." Trent said in concern and determination.

"Move it, Gwen!" DJ exclaims as he shoves Gwen aside. "Sorry, but I will have to do the driving."

"But Stitch wanna drive!" Stitch protests with a whiny voice of a kid who isn't getting what he wants.

"Never mind, come on!" Hoagie exclaims as he spots Myx getting back up. "The ugly imp is already getting back up."

"You hurt, sire?" Lightning ask Myx, making sure that the king is okay.

"No, he just glazed me, get them!" Myx exclaims furiously as he points at the fugitives making their getaway. Heavy didn't waste time in firing to keep the enemies at bay during the escape. Myx sarcastically taunt, "$400, 000 to fire that gun for twelve seconds, huh? Yeah, money well spent." His men had told king what Heavy has told them earlier.

As the carts moved were pushed, Heavy calls out, "Gang way!"

Some of the heroes yelps as they crash through some glass, ending up outside. They were pushed throughout the area, causing Noah to duck just as they broke through the candy cane barrier, sending peeks aside.

As Noah peeks out, the guard ducks down as Myx and his crew begins chase, with the king yelling furiously, "Hey! Stop in the name of the king, which is me BTW!"

The truck known as "CLAW" follows in hopes to capture the Users, glitches, and anyone else threatening the king. The heroes moves through the area quickly. They need to escape or find a place to hide and fast.

"Get off the road!" Gwen calls out worried to Heavy. The big man didn't waste time in digging his hand to the ground to make one big turn as his friends followed. The CLAW truck ends up crashing nearby.

"Head for Mt. Chrismore!" Trent calls out as everyone are heading to the mentioned mountain area.

"Now drive into the wall!"

"What?!" Heavy yelps in shock and confusion. The gang got an upset imp king and his pals chasing them and she is suggesting that idea?!

"Right there, between the two sugarfree lollipops!" Zoey exclaims, pointing to a certain wall that the gang must head to.

"Are you crazy?! We'll crash!" DJ exclaims in a big panic, fearing that the gang will crash.

"Just do it, trust us!" Mike calls out to the others in concern. There is no time to argue here.

The skeptic ones are concerned but they decided to do it anyway. They rushed towards the mountain, screaming as some of them expected a crash. But of course, to their surprise, the area glitch a bit and going through some sort brief area, sending them all into the mountain itself.

Itself, the gang kept screaming until they crash into some parts, causing Heavy, DJ, Sev and Stitch to fall out of the carts, landing on some rocks nearby. Scorch calls out, "That is why you should wear seatbelts."

Outside, the king and his troops stop without warning. Myx removes his goggles while looking concerned. Where are they? The fugitives were up ahead not a few seconds ago!

"Where did they do?! They should've just turned!" Myx exclaims in disbelief and anger. "Officers, find those glitches and their Users. Destroy the karts and whatever they got! Not one of them, especially the girl glitch, be allowed to race!!!"

Myx groans upset as he heads off to one direction while his officers heads off to the other direction. Not any of them realize that their targets are nearby the whole time, safe and hidden.

Back inside the mountain, as everyone recovered from the collision and got out of the cart, Heavy frowns as he spoke to Gwen, "Let's see if I got this straight: you girl, don't know how to drive?!"

"Well, no, not really...I never could." Gwen said meekly to Heavy who got back up. "But I figured..."

"Oh, what you figured; 'Ooooh, I will just magically win the race because I really want to'!"

Hey, look, big guy, I know I'm race, okay? I can feel it in my code!"

"Well, the truth is, Mike and Zoey don't know to race as we were allowed to participate." Zoey explains to the newcomers with a sigh.

"Yeah, Trent here was supposed to be our driving instructor to show us how to race." Mike admits, nodding to Trent.

"Well, yes, I do." Trent said with a shrug. "Of course, with us being chased and all, there isn't much time to do any instructing on how to get the carts onto the track to do that."

"Ugh!" Heavy groans, beginning to tear up. The villain can't believe this. His one chance to recover his medal...and three of four racers don't know how to even drive?! "That's it! I will never get my medal back!"

"I would help out too, but they saw my face...so I am now a big fugitive too." DJ said meekly. It's true, now that Myx and his men saw that he participated in breaking into the factory to make new karts, the racer is a fugitive as well.

"Oh, what's the big deal about that dumb medal anyway?" Gwen ask Heavy with a frown. Why is it that big guy wanted that medal so badly anyway?

"Well, it's the one thing to help us get back home...and keep Heavy from whining!" Hoagie explains to Gwen, causing Heavy to glare at him. "What? It's true!"

"Ih, big whiny butt!" Stitch remarks with a laugh. Heavy scowls as he punches Stitch into the air. "WHEEE!"

"Big deal?" Heavy ask bitterly to Gwen who begins pushing her own cart out of the rock. "Well, here's a big shock, Goth girl. In my game, Heavy is bad guy and Heavy lives in the garbage!"

"Cool." Gwen said, a bit impressed.

"Non! Not cool! It is unhygienic, lonely, and boring! That "dumb:" medal is going to change all that. I go home with that around neck, I get a penthouse...pies...ice sculptures...fireworks..." Heavy pauses as he saw Gwen's group giving him awkward looks as the others look concerned. "Bah! Grown up stuff, you wouldn't understand."

"Actually, I do get it." Gwen said with a sigh. "That's exactly what racing would do for me."

"Want to know what I want, is successfully tame a Heartless to prove my theory on them but I want it to be a Stealth Sneak Heartless." Sev said to them. "I figured I share since we are all sharing what we really want."

"We guessed, Sev." Scorch points out.

"Well, guess what?" Heavy ask with an angry scowl on his face.

"What?" Gwen ask Heavy, knowing he's going to lose it again.

"Newsflash, not one of us will get what we want!"

"Right, worst yet, we won't be able to go home now because Heavy won't be that jerk Carter's challenge!" Hoagie complains, getting very upset now.

"Right, we're trapped in this world forever!" Stitch cries out in sadness. "Video games are cool...but real world is home!"

Heavy angrily stomps the ground. Suddenly a boom sound is heard, startling everyone. Everyone saw a small glow, causing Sev to ask, "What is that?"

Everyone goes over to take a peek at the other area. They gasps as there is some sort of bubbling pool of sorts. On ceiling above seems to be some sort of Mentos.

"Huh. That's a lot of Mentos." DJ said in amazement. Then again, it's understandable that the racer would be surprised since he has never been in here.

The gang saw a sign nearby as Heavy reads it, "'Diet cola hot springs. Watch out for falling Mentos'?"

"Right, check it out, look!" Gwen exclaims as she throws a rock at the stalactite, hitting it. This send a piece of Mentos into the pool, making a big explosion to occur, much to the surprise of the others.

"Wow, now that's why Mentos is the Fresh Maker!" Stitch exclaims with a smile. Heavy on the other hand, yelps as a piece of cola hits him on the leg, causing him to hop a bit.

"Oh, watch out for the splash." Gwen warns Heavy a bit too late. "That stuff is boiling hot!"

"So it's like lava, isn't it?" Scorch ask Gwen, arching an eyebrow.

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Got it, thank you." Heavy said as he recovers from the cola. As the big man clears his throat, he speaks up while looking around, "So what is this place?"

"Heck if I know, much be some sort of unfinished bonus level." Gwen remarks with a shrug. This cave must be a level which hasn't been finished yet.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Mike ask his new friends with a smile. "Gwen, Zoey and I found the secret opening a while ago, so we live here so we can escape the authorities."

"We've shown Trent the entrance since we can trust him with our little secret." Zoey said with a delightful smile.

"And look, look!" Gwen exclaims as she points to some beds nearby. They all look cruelly made with candy wrappers. "This is our home, we sleep in these candy wrappers and bundled ourselves like little homeless people."

To prove it, Gwen picks up a cloth and hugs herself, this made the outsiders concerned. They are stunned that these racers are forced to live in here, outcast by everyone else in this game.

"Yeah, isn't much...but its home and it's the best we could do." Trent said with a weak smile. "DJ? If you want, we can make a bed for you too since you are now on the run."

"Yeah, I will pass for now, but thanks." DJ said, dismissing Trent's offer but thanking him all the same.

"We even got our own TV that is tuned in to outside programs, see?"

Trent points to a garbage TV that is working and is showing a clip from "My Little Heroines". It's showing Blossom trying to help Anakin be treated by the folks of Townsville.

"RUN! IT'S DARTH VADER!" Stitch screams in fear as he makes a break for it.

Lilo shoots Stitch with a web line and pulls him back in. The girl snaps, "Stitch! No! That is NOT Darth Vader! That is Anakin Skywalker! And I have a feeling he is VERY sensitive about his super-villain past, so please, NO trying to cause a panic."

"Lilo's right, Stitch. You were there when we reformed him." Blossom said, reminding Stitch of what happened.

"Meega naga taking any chances!" Stitch screams as he cuts Lilo's web line with a claw and starts running off. "RUN FOR IT! DARTH VADER IS COMING! HE WILL DEVOUR US ALL!"

Lilo leaps onto a nearby wall and speed-crawls in front of Stitch. The girl spoke as she tries to calm her best friend down, "For gosh sake, Stitch, stop that. Anakin is NOT Darth Vader anymore and is probably trying to put that part of his past behind him. Heck, he and Obi Wan helped us stop that meanie-pants Beetlejuice just a couple of months ago."

"You are going to sit here and listen if I have to use my cold breath to make you." Blossom said as she lands near in front of Stitch, blocking him from going anywhere. Turning to Lilo, she continues, "It's scenes like this that remind me that, compared to Stitch, you're usually the saner out of the two of you - well, except when it comes to Pinky Promises."

"Yeah. No need to tell me twice."

"Heh, Stitch rocks." Stitch chuckles as he watches the TV with himself on the show.

"So wait, you all live here, in the garbage around you, all by yourselves?" Heavy ask in concern. He feels like Gwen is feeling right now: being outcast by those who don't understand the individual and lives all alone.

"Yeah, I know. Everyone here says that I'm just a mistake and I wasn't supposed to really exist." Gwen ask with a nod, sighing a bit. "What else did you expect?"

"Not really exist?" Sev asked. "Now even I know that is confusing, Gwen."

"I have to agree with that, from what I recall, Gwen is one of the most fan favorite characters from the show. So for them to say you're not meant to be in this game is suspicious in itself." Hoagie said.

"I don't know. I hear its cause Gwen denied allowing her image in the game, at least that's the story our king tells us." Trent explained, shrugging.

"Yeah, same thing with Zoey and me. We're glitches too and got hated by everyone else in this game." Mike said with a glum look on his face.

"Trent got hated all because he's our friend and is our only supporter...next to DJ anyway." Zoey said with a slow nod.

"Well, at least we're safe here so we try our best to survive." Trent said as he sat down on his own bed, sighing.

"Uh, listen. Not any of our business...but why do you even stick around this game?" Heavy ask the rejected racers with a sigh.

"He's right, why can't any of you just leave? There's no reason to live in a place where you're hated." DJ explains to his friends in concern. He is not understanding why Gwen, Mike, Zoey and Trent can't just leave the game to get away from the hatred.

"Ugh. You guys don't understand anything? Glitches can't leave their games, Mike, Zoey and I are trapped here!" Gwen groans a bit. In other words, she and her pals Mike and Zoey can't leave their game. The girl lies down, adding sarcastically, "Yeah, one of the joys of being me."

The Users, Heavy and the commandos look concerned, as is DJ. Glitches can't leave their game...and have to put up with the abuse from the characters who aren't. They can't stand there and let their new friends feel this way.

As everyone nodded, Heavy then got to work, slamming his fists to the ground, making some sort of road.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zoey ask with a frown as she and some of the others not getting what's going on saw what Heavy's doing.

"Hey, you're going to get us killed, stop!" Mike exclaims in alarm, worried that Heavy's pounding will send the whole place crashing in.

"It's a dump, I know, but it's all I got!" Gwen protests with a scowl. She can't believe Heavy is taking his frustration out on her home.

"Oh, if you and your friends wanna be racers, you have to learn how to drive...and no way you all could do that without tracks." Heavy said as he kept on pounding like mad.

As Heavy is finished up, most of everyone looks shocked. Their friend has made some sort of beginner's track...for Gwen, Trent, Mike and Zoey to do their racing on!

"Whoa!" Most of everyone exclaims in amazement.

"Wow, a track, just for us!" Trent exclaims with a grin. The gang got a track to do some racing practice after all!

The heroes got to work on putting the carts onto the track. Heavy smiles as she spoke up, "Ja, well, hustle up, we got some driving to do."

"Yes, I'm going to learn how to drive, I'm doing! I'm going to...wait, do you know how to drive?" Gwen ask Heavy puzzled. The girl wonders if Heavy or her new friends from the outside know how to drive or race.

"Hey, I got a license." Hoagie said to Gwen with a smirk. "So driving is easy!"

"Easy like crashing ships into stuff!" Stitch exclaims with a laugh. "Kuki played you in this game, why noit?"

"What?" Gwen ask Stitch, confused upon hearing that.

"Forget it."

"Well, ja. I mean, I haven't done it, but Heavy flew spaceship today, right?" Heavy ask Gwen with a smirk. Of course, the Freelance Police and soldiers look at him skeptically since he did crash a ship. "Get in. How hard can it be? So uh...start it up."

Once the racers got inside their carts, they start their engines up. DJ nods, smiling as he said, "Okay, perfect."

"There you go. Now then, there are buttons on the floor..."

"Pedals." Gwen said to Heavy with a smile.

"Pedals, right." Heavy said with a sheepish smile while rubbing the back of his head. He is new at the karts of this game after all!

"Now keep going." Scorch advises the kids on what to do.

"Okay, uh...that's the go pedal...I believe that's the stopper...and this, wait. What is this? Doesn't do anything."

"Uh, Heavy, that's the clutch." Trent points out to Ralph, awkwardly explaining as to what the lever that Heavy's fiddling is does.

"Hey, what does this joystick do?" Gwen ask as he spots some sort of joystick item.

The girl shifts the gear instantly. This ends up causing the kart to jump forward. Heavy yelps as he got dragged along, landing right on his face. Gwen screams in alarm until her vehicle came to a complete to stop.

"Right, good. Let's try again." Heavy said with a chuckle as he got back up to his feet. The gang got a long way to go here and limited time to do it.
