Time to go. Ascot, not needing Haste, sped off beside Vanellope, taking care not to outrace the girl at first, but then deciding that he can allow her to catch up later, in future laps. One of the Sugar Rush racers, presumably angry at Ascot's sudden entrace to the race and the disapperance of two of his comrades, tried to bump into the boy's Glider...only to have said Glider rise up into the air, then bump him right back.

These guys were bullies anyway, and one of Ascot's flaws was a surprising coldness towards the 'enemy'. So, the boy sped towards a floating Gift Box...which caused his Glider to grow a big-ass cannon, one capable of taking cars out of commission temporarily. He fired towards Taffyta, recognizing in her the leader of the people who were persecuting Vanellope, then towards King Candy.

After a few seconds, however, his cannon disappeared, and the boy now had to rely on his Keyblade Glider's speed alone. Didn't matter; he was still going to make a speedy rampage, one unseen in Sugar Rush history. Speeding towards Taffyta, he tried to push her off course, then switched towards King Candy on the third try. This time, he was not going to hold back; Ascot had cast Haste.

"Now, Usurper, you're going to perish!" He said as he pushed King Candy. Tangent: Ascot came from a semi-democratic society of warrior-scholars, but he was still against unlawful usurpation of power, even in monarchies. Revolutions, on the other hand, did not count as usurpations, or even unlawful, because all power ultimately came from the people.

Jake whistled as Thomas destroyed the nest.

"Talk about overkill," he remarked. "Still, better that we get the whole thing than risk any survivors. I'll stay here a bit and catch up with you guys in a bit. Just to make sure."

He tapped Thomas on the shoulder, giving him the thumbs-up when he got the kid's attention.

"Good going, buddy," he said. "Hopefully that would reduce their numbers quite a bit..."

Jake would wait a bit to check the damage done to the nest. To his consternation, there was evidence that there may be deeper tunnels where more eggs were hidden, but hopefully, Thomas' little show of force ensured they got enough eggs to make evacuation more manageable. Plus, it would take the damn critters more time to dig their way out of their holes now.

He hopped on board his Glider and headed over to the racetrack. He took a deep sigh as he saw the cheering fans watching the race on the Jumbotron; convincing people to leave when there's no clear threat yet would be a chore.

"Well, look who we got here," came a voice behind him. He turned around to see Winchell and Duncan, the two cops, holding the leashes of several Devil Dogs. "Say, Duncan, it looks like one a' them vandals."

"Yeah, one a' the freaks who tore up the Royal Palace and broke into the Factory. You're on the wanted list, you know that, big guy?"

The Devil Dogs snarled and barked menacingly.

Jake just stared at the barking confectionery, then gave a powerful, guttural roar as a glowing golden aura flared about him. The Devil Dogs froze in terror, then ran away yelping, tearing the leashes right out of the cops' hands. Winchell and Duncan took a moment to recover from the shock and pulled out their batons, only for Jake to snatch them out of their hands in one move, crushing both sticks in one hand, then flicking away the crumbling remains. Before the two donut-cops could recover, he lifted them with one hand each, grabbing Duncan through the hole in the center. Both gulped as they were suspended in air, eye to eye with an irate Jake.

"Alright," he started, "I'm currently not in a good mood; I'm a bit busy and I have a tight schedule. But instead of beating you two into crumbs, allow me to make you an offer. See, I've received bad news; a bunch of ugly bugs are coming this way, and I need everyone - and I mean everyone - out of this game because it'll be one unholy flood of nasty fangs and claws. And as much as I don't like you clowns, I'm not the type to wish that upon you two.

"So here's what I want you to do. Help me get everyone out of the seats and the bleachers, and get them out of the game. Every. Last. One. And I don't want a goddamn panic. Anyone not in the stands?"

"U-uh, n-no sir," Duncan stuttered, giving a stiff gulp. "Everyone comes from around the kingdom just to watch the races when they're on."

"Good, this makes things easier," Jake replied. He put them down gently. "Get everyone out of here, and make sure to keep it orderly. Last thing we need is anarchy."

"Y-yes sir!" cried out both donut-cops before running off.

Jake turned around and went to help start evacuation. As he was clearing out one section of the stands, he found Sgt. Calhoun leading a bunch of the locals to the exits.

"Well, you certainly took your sweet time, Conan," she remarked.

"Managed to get the local cops to help out with the evacuation. Think we might need a barricade to hold off the bugs?"

Calhoun looked around.

"Not enough time, not enough junk to make a decent wall," she replied, shaking her head. "Plus everything's made of goddamn candy around here; they'd eat right through it - literally."

"Gotcha," Jake responded, pulling out his axes. He looked up at the Jumbotron, trying to notice where the racers were all doing. He spotted Ascot among them.

"Take care, kid," he muttered to himself. "Things are going to get ugly real quick."

Joshua sighed before giving Belle a friendly dope slap.
"I can open a corridor of darkness anywhere if I focus enough." He said" Which is why I said we wait until Ascot or Reno knock King Asshole of the track so... oh Ascot just knocked him off the track, perfect."

Joshua knew King Candy couldn't risk cheating in this race, not with everyone in the game watching it like a major league struggle tournament in Twilight Town. If he did so he risked exposing his little scheme. But see as to how there already was more cheating going on then was needed, he really guessed some less then subtle meddling. So even if King Candy managed to stay on the track Joshua opened a CoD right in front of the damn King and take him straight to Narnia
"Showtime." He said before giving Belle a cocky grin" Try to show me what you got and keep up with me."

That being said he opened a CoD around them. He lead her through the Realm of Darkness and when they came out, they would be where he had dropped King Candy off: In the White Queen's castle. Since it was a building with narrow halls and little to no room to maneuver a cart, King Candy wasn't likely to be driving very far. Joshua used the Kings inner darkness to sense him and led Belle straight to him.
"So, King Asshole. Like the change in décor?" He asked

Reno, unlike Ascot, was not cheating by using a Glider or Armor, or by using magic. He was driving in a kart that he went and made where Karts were made, easily able to get past any security or guards with his magic. Also, unlike Ascot, not that there was anything wrong with Ascot's more aggressive style of racing, Reno was more of a passive style racer. Taking timing into account for when other racers would try and bump him off to speed past them, using power ups accordingly to get past other players or protect himself from other racer's attacks.

Needless to say, Reno's knowledge of racing games wasn't all talk. He was quite the good driver, and from the expression on his face he was having quite the grand time, passing both Ascot and King Candy after the evil ruler was knocked off the track, Reno completely forgetting why they were even here. Probably like Vanellope, he was too focused on having fun while racing. If he won, that was just a bonus, but he was here to enjoy the game and have fun, weaving through and past other racers with ease, soon enough catching up with the lead racer, who was probably Vanellope. Relying on Reno for this racing mission... was probably not going to be the best idea since he was too caught up in the race to remember the reason why they were even in this world.

"I've played lots of racing games before, but being in a racing game is amazing, who knew coming to a video-game world would be so much fun!" He called this out to the lead racer before trying to speed past them, a big, happy, lucky-go grin on his face as he was enjoying the race and just having fun.

The group that was appointed with evacuating the people from the race were well on their way. Almost everyone was gone. They were really lucky that the whole kingdom was gathered at one spot of the game so that there wouldn't be any people left behind.

Meanwhile Ascot was trying to get King Candy off course, by bumping into him. And this was very successful. With the third bump King Candy turned into Turbo and with an angry face, lost control and went off track. Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for the others, King Candy fell off the track and fell a few meters down. "Now is the moment Joshua!" Belle shouted to her partner. However that plan was soon to be ruined as King Candy fell right into the mouth of a Cy-Bug. Vanellope continued driving however it appeared that the Cy-Bugs already had made their way out. The track was completely ruined as Cy-Bugs barged out of the ground and fell down from the sky.

"Cy-Bugs!" Calhoun shouted. "At least the people of the game are already gone. But I wonder if we will be able to take all of them down." she said. Not soon after that a gigantic Cy-Bug emerged from the ground, The Cy-Bug Queen. It was there along with all the other Cy-Bugs although they seemingly just rampaged the world instead of directly attacking the people. However a large horde began to make their way to the exit of the world. Vanellope took a u-turn and drove towards the group fighting the Cy-Bugs. She took safety with Felix and Amaya while the others were fighting. The Cy-Bug Queen slashed down with her tentacles on the ground. Calhoun dodged them and shot with her blaster, but if that would be enough... Ralph on the other hand found Belle and Joshua. "What happened?" he asked.

An answer wasn't necessary as the Cy-Bug that ate Turbo appeared again, but with a complete make-over. It now had become a fusion of King Candy, a Cy-Bug, candy and Heartless. "You're not going to win this!" King Candy said with a wicked smile.

"Guys we need to get at the top of the Diet Cola Volcano. I can smash the Mentos so they will fall down and create a huge explosion which will emit light and attract the Cy-Bugs to it. It is the only way to defeat them. I saw it happen in Hero's Duty so it must work." he said.

"I see." Belle said. "Joshua, you coming along. Because I have a hunch that King Candy will try to stop us." she said.

Joshua was really starting to get pissed off. Couldn't it just be smooth sailing for once in a world, just once! Not only that but everything King Candy/Turbo did and had done was really starting to grate his nerves. He gripped his keyblade tightly he looked King Candy in whatever counted as his face
"I'm going to kick your ass now." He said, shouldering his weapon" And by that I mean I'm going to delete your data and make sure you can't come out of some pit at whatever time you please. Do I make myself clear king Asshole? If the answer is yes, try and put up a fight. The longer it goes, the better I'll feel by the end. If the answer is no, you're just a disappointment and you'll soon just be some character in a game that's never gonna be played again."

That being said, Joshua waited for a response, prepared for just about anything King Candy could throw at him. Frankly, he was hoping to make this quick and clean. Just the guys mere presence pissed him off. So if he could end this in a fast manner, he would be more then happy. Also he was worried Amaya, who he could sense was around, might've heard him and grown worried. He didn't want her to worry over something as small as him being angry. He and Toshiro had his darkness perfectly under control.

While Vanellope was trying to win the race (she still had the other racers to beat, after all), Ascot flew over to Joshua's position, where a confrontation was brewing between Joshua and King Candy. Gathering his composure, the boy added his piece:

"I stand beside my brother in this," he said as he drew his Keyblade. "You, King Candy, have violated the Social Contract between a ruler and their people and - okay, enough of this political nonsense; you are a thief and a bully, and that's enough for me."

And the boy readied his Shotlock, before firing off a burst of magical projectiles at the monster monarch. He then followed this up with a Fira, before casting Haste on everyone in the group.

He then flew up to the air, matching King Candy's flight speed, and, this time, it was a real frontal assault, no feints. This was made less dangerous by Ascot's use of Reflara - which he gained from the fight with Gula - Sparkra, and, finally, Faith.

Tangent: Whenever Ascot used that final attack, it always seemed to be ineffectual. Nevertheless, he would still keep on using it, since it was his best bet against Heartless and creatures like them.

"Thanks," Thomas replied to the praise with a grin that grew more confident over time. For all his internal turmoil, lack of knowledge of who he himself was and wanted to be, and the dark wound he had, what he received was a salve to his injured self esteem. Not enough to heal it, but it went on the way to mitigating the damage. Yes, after all, none of the people you care about, and contest your leadership, were around to see it, reminded his voice in his head.

Thomas growled internally as they moved to depart for the race track, to get the people out of here before the big 'ole army of bug things showed up to kill everything. I know, he shot back. But Jake saw, and he's a pretty old hand at this sort of thing. His compliment means more than theirs would. I mean, Reno would compliment me even if I just shot a firework in there, and Joshua doesn't go for positive reinforcement as far as I can tell. They don't matter.

He could almost hear his other self shrugged as he flew via glider towards the grandstands at the race track. If you don't care what they think, then why do you keep trying to impress them?

Another growl You should know why, you're in my head. Now shut up. I'm busy

Arriving, Thomas assisted with the evacuation as best he could, more in the area of 'making sure people didn't get hurt trying to get out' rather than 'expedite a quick exit'. A Glider was useful for that, allowing him to dart about and intervene in dangerous situations before they could turn ugly, or tragic. Not that that arose very often, but it was good that he was around when it did.

"Oh, that's not good," Thomas commented aloud as he brought his glider down on the track, Cy-Bug's popping up out of the woodwork like a horde. He brought out his keyblade and activated his armor, covered in white, gold, and blue. He turned to see the Cy-Bug Queen, big and hulking, waving tentacles around and generally looking nasty. So he went in to help Calhoun, using the tactic he had used to such great effect before, of using Thundara on the top of the thing while trying to freeze and then smash the tentacles with Blizzara. This was not going to be fun.

King Candy, or Turbo, you really couldn't determine which one it really was, laughed hard at Joshua and Ascot's rant. "Yeah right fools! This game is at its end, it's time to move on to the next game!!!" Turbo shouted as he flew off into the distance. Ascot followed him and fired his Shotlock at him followed by a Fira, unfortunately for Ascot, King Candy noticed it and swallowed the attack and send them back at him in the form of magical projectiles engulfed with flames. Luckily for Ascot his Reflara protected him from this but failed to hit King Candy. Ascot's Sparkra and Faith however only hurt King Candy at the end of his tail, as the former attacks had slowed Ascot down.

"Ralph, you had a plan, right? Hop on my glider then we'll go there!" Belle said. She transformed her keyblade into her personalized glider and let Ralph jump on the back of the glider. She and Ralph flew to the top of the Diet Cola Mountain, and probably were going to be joined by Ascot and Joshua too because Turbo quickly noticed what their plan was. King Candy made a sharp turn towards the top of the mountain and landed in front of Belle and Ralph. "We can do this Ralph." she said. Ralph nodded back. "I'm going to wreck this guy up." he said in reply. The ground was made out of Mentos which she also had seen inside of the mountain at the ceiling. If Ralph managed to smash all of them then they would fall into the cola and make a huge beam of cola upwards which, according to Ralph, would make a bright light to attract the Cy-Bugs. But they first had to deal with King Candy before doing that.

"Shuriken Raid!" Belle shouted and slashed with her keyblade which send out several shurikens towards the Heartless Cy-Bug monster that once was King Candy... or actually Turbo. Ralph afterwards would slam against King Candy. Belle's attack was deflected by Turbo but this distraction caused that the punch of Ralph was super effective, and pushed King Candy back a few meters.

---

"Good job Thomas!" Calhoun shouted as she shot the frozen spots on the tentacles of the queen. "As we fight this disaster, the other hopefully can defend themselves from the minor Cy-Bugs." Calhoun said a little bit worried.

Vanellope was at Amaya's side and looked up to her. "Do you think you can hold those creatures of?" she asked afraid at the older girl.

A Chase, Eh? thought Ascot as he smiled. I'll oblige, he continued as he sped towards Turbo on his Keyblade Glider, his Haste spells, as well as his natural speed, ensuring that he was close, very close, to his opponent. Once King Candy got to Ralph, he would find Ascot hot on his heels, dispelling the Keyblade Glider and instead coming after the Bug-Man with an Aerial Slam.

Once that Aerial Slam was finished, he would cast Haste on Ralph, increasing the man's speed. The boy would then jump up, and use Fire Glide to harass Turbo's back, rushing towards it for a back stab. Due to not knowing about the effects of Mentos on Soda, Ascot wouldn't know what Ralph was trying to do, so he had to trust the latter to know what exactly he was doing.

This meant that he had to occupy Turbo's attention. If his backstab succeeded, Ascot would draw back his sword, allowing his opponent to regenerate, before going on a flurry of short, sharp attacks, meant to further distract Turbo from Ralph. However, continuing to observe the Bug-Man, the boy felt a sense of...futility. Was he really succeeding? It felt as though Fate was steering things to a pre-arranged script.

Said script dictated...dictated something, but he didn't know what. All Ascot just knew, though, was that his efforts meant nothing, not when going up against this script.

"Right," Thomas called back in agreement as he moved. The support from the Sergeant buoyed him up, providing incentive to add force and ferocity to his attacks. Surely the few small Heartless or Cy-bugs that got past could be handled by the others. There was a significantly larger foe to focus on after all. Calhoun shot at it, shattering the ice he laid up and damaging its tentacles i the process, but he couldn't tell if they were doing damage fast enough, or rapidly enough.

Thomas paused in his assault, taking a few steps back out of range and a few deep breathes as well, raising his Keyblade as he thought back, remembering those recent, painful lessons with Serin. He forced past the pain, the embarrassment, the emotions, and to the lesson itself. Feel the sword as part of himself, feel the magic flowing through him, focus on it, expand it, trap it, contain it. Well, something like that anyway. His face twitched as he thought, releasing the magical power into the sword as he used Fire, also working at the same time to ignore the differentiations between the various levels of Fire.

And Serin was right, he could feel the difference between using the iron weapon and his Keyblade, how much easier it was. The sword burst alight with flames from the Fire spell and his eyes flew open, a smirk returning as he ran back in, leaping slashes aimed at chopping tentacles and cauterizing the wounds w ith Fire at the same time. Yet another showing off of power that no one would be around to really see. Man, he had to work on his timing.

There were Cy-Bugs and Heartless everyone, so unfortunately the race was put on hold, all of the other racers having retreated from the tracks for now to seek safety elsewhere, even Vallenope doing this. Reno would have kept racing, but knew that a one person race wasn't really fair, so he put his kart in his inventory and decided to help the others fight. Of course, he would have done so anyway without a question, but the one person race thing was just another one of the negatives about these Cy-Bugs. So he jumped into the fight, throwing all consuming pillars of fire, lightning bolts that were more like towering columns, and meteors, all of which looking somewhat like the wrath of the heavens.

Even a few times, for those who could sense darkness, he used his powerful Dark Mega Flare spell, launching powerful, air sundering beams of darkness from his palm that tore through all heartless and Cy-bugs in their path. While the others worked on their own groups of foes, Reno decided to help take care of many of the other groups as he didn't want the others to become overwhelmed, so he was mostly fighting alone. Of course, as vast as Reno's magical reserves were, they weren't infinite, so whenever Reno needed to recharge, Oner took over, which of course meant that Reno was never fighting alone since it was hard to do so when you were two people as well as one person.

Oner would jump in with his controlled, much smaller, yet still very powerful Ultigas as well as his Hikari spell either just smiting foes with light or imbuing it into his blade for powerful attacks. There were just too many of them though. He was glad that all of the residents of this game had evacuated, but there were still too many Cy-Bugs and Reno was afraid that if their numbers didn't start thinning more soon then they would take over this game. "We have no choice, there are too many foes. We must summon him." Oner, who was currently out after their third rotation cycle, pulled out a stone that looked like a red onyx stone, and was shaped like the head of a dragon. It looked like Bahamhut's stone, but was clearly different from it as well.

Quickly he retreated to a somewhat safer spot on his glider, Reno manifesting as he suddenly shot his hand forward into the air, uttering 'Yami' and 'Fire' as he did so. A pillar of blackened flames erupted into the sky, destroying foes that were chasing after them and that were around them before the pillar condensed and shrunk itself down into a dome around Reno, the magus sighing softly before smiling a little. "Alright Oner, this should buy us some time."

With these words, Oner manifested once again, nodding as he held the stone before him, focusing as he closed his eyes. Bahamhut was powerful, Neo-Bahamhut, his next form, even moreso. The problem with this mighty summon is that he took a few moments to call forth, precious moments that they couldn't afford to waste in battle. Sure they could call forth Bahamhut quite quickly thanks to their training, but his next form still took a few precious moments of time, but they felt as though that power would be more necessary for ending this battle more quickly.

The circle on Oner's forehead and the lines going down from it began to glow a bright white as he focused towards the stone. "We humbly beseech thee..." The stone began to glow now with a bright red color. "Please come forth and lend us thine ultimate might! Neo-Bahamhut!" The circle and lines on Oner began to glow even more brightly, as did the stone. The moment the name was called out the stone shattered, the shards vanishing, as instantly the dome of dark fire was blown away as behind Reno appeared a dragon that was a bit different from Bahamhut when Reno had summoned him before.

The towering dragon let out a powerful roar before suddenly beginning to gather energy into its mouth, the beast floating a bit behind Reno using its own wings. Raising its head back somewhat, it then aimed it forward, launching an immensely powerful Giga Flare right into a hoard of Cy-Bugs, the giga flare tearing through the air and decimating all foes that were caught in its path, any allies not getting hurt by it if they happened to be there thanks to Reno and Oner's own power, their magic, and thus the magic of their summons, being like Serins in that it would only hurt those who they wanted to hurt, in this case the Cy-Bugs and Heartless were their targets.

Unfortunately it took most of Reno's and Oner's remaining mana to summon him, so for now Reno, who was manifested now, flew up to Bahamhut's shoulder and took a seat there while the dragon continued to stomp and use its mighty tail, wings, and claws to dispatch multiple foes with their mighty swings as the towering, powerful dragon prepared yet another Giga Flare, Reno supplying the power of his own Dark Mega Flare to Bahamhut to help up the strength of what was going to be a very devastating attack.

Jake had been following snatches of the race in between smacking any Cy-bugs who got close. He had noticed "King Candy" suddenly changing into Turbo, his identity as a charlatan revealed.

"Man, talk about being beaten all over with the ugly stick," he mused, turning back temporarily to chopping a Cy-Bug right in half with a well-aimed rising slash from Kaiser Leo before bring down its partner with by slicing through its legs with König Raubtier, followed by a sharp, piercing blow to the back of its, er, head. "Grey is not a good skin tone."

When mutated Turbo showed up, accompanied by the Cy-Bug Queen, Jake felt his jaw almost drop off his face.

"I stand corrected," he said, recovering from his temporary shock. "That thing got hit with every single tree, branch, and twig in the whole Ugly Forest. We're going to have to take this bitch down."

He charged into battle, cutting down the Cy-Bugs in his way as he cleared a path to the Cy-Bug Queen. He dodged under a couple of tentacles that lashed out in his direction, and cleaved a third with his axes, only to see it regrow. He hacked away at two others, only to see the Cy-Bug Queen regenerate her damaged appendages.

"Sonuvabitch! This thing doesn't know the meaning of 'stay dead'!" he swore. He kept cutting away at them as fast as he can, his strong, honed muscles tearing through Cy-Bugs and giant tendrils alike. However, it was when he saw Thomas cutting through the tentacles with a burning sword that seemed to cauterize the thing's injuries.

"Nice going, Tom!" he cried out. "I don't think she'll be bringing those back!

"But I got an idea; it's risky, and probably dumb as hell, which is probably why I thought of it. We can hack at the thing's tentacles all we want, but what we really need is someone to get onto its back and get some leverage on that sucker! You with me or not?

"If you want to take a shot at it, get on your glider and try and outflank it while the Sarge 'n' me distract it. If you don't, just keep it busy while I get on its back. Either way, if we can crack open this thing's hide by finding a weak spot, we can probably end this fight sooner and contain this mess!"

Amaya watch the others take on the boss as she was going to stick with the tiny heartless, She looked down at the little girl before nodding "there is one thing to remember...as long as hope is alive, these things will never be able to tuely harm you..."Said Amaya debating exactly what to do as she decided to see if she could stand summoning shiva twice . She looked at the gem in her hand "I could summon if she wants or maybe tinkerbell to distract these things...lets let shiva rest.'She commented to herself before she took a deep breath "I need your assistance tinkerbell...if xayama has faith in you then I do as well."She commented crushing the stone before opening her hand as the small fairy glowed flying up and around landing back on her hand "alright can you distract these things with your glow and just cuteness...'She commented seeing the fairy nod as she flew from amaya's hand before flying amongest the small heartless, distracting them.

"you need to find some place to hide or stay close."Said Amaya gently forming her keyblade in her hand before she charged forward. She pointed a hand down before asting blizzard which threw her up into the sky above the heartless "I hope this works...it works in my mind."She said to herself taking a deep breath. normally she would be running and hiding but she was allowing her fear of missing again to fuel her fight it was after all these little heartless that kidnaped her in the fist place and took away four years of her life.

Ascot's Fire Glide succeeded as did the back stab into Turbo. However, although Ascot was incredibly fast he was too slow with pulling out his keyblade. The Cy-bugged Turbo grabbed Ascot and threw him to the other side of the top from the volcano. Ascot could still unleash his fury of attacks if he recovered fast enough. Belle on the other hand immediately rushed at Turbo after Ascot was thrown away. She jumped into the air and performed Wishing Edge now that Turbo was still distracted from Ascot's earlier attack. If Joshua would attack now, and afterwards Ascot they would keep Turbo busy long enough for Ralph to break the ground. Maybe they would even be able to kill the monster.

"You tiny little peasants are no match for me! King of the Arcade!" the mad king shouted. "Once I am done here, I'll just move on to the next game."

Belle's Wishing Edge was deflected by the claws of Turbo, but that didn't stop her. As she was still in midair and facing the enemy, she performed a Thunder Dash. Apparently the element of the attack had a bad effect on Turbo, as it seemed like someone hit him in the neck with a stun-gun. Turbo quickly recovered and stormed towards Ralph probably with the intention to throw him off the volcano. Belle couldn't talk at the moment so she just hoped that one of the boys would attack before Turbo could break through them and stop Ralph. "Please guys, stop him." Belle thought as she was slammed away by a tentacle of King Candy.

---

The Giga-Flae was super effective against a big hoard of Cy-Bugs. It was a big beam of energy that would eliminate any weak Cy-Bugs and probably also the stronger ones. The light emitted from the flare also attracted the Cy-Bugs making them walk into their own death. Unfortunately for Reno his mana was very low at the moment so he had to stay clear for some time until it was recovered. He probably wouldn't be able to pull off another attack like that again.

Thomas' attack was right on the spot, unfortunately didn't really do that much damage to the giant Cy-Bug Queen, unlike his previous attack. The fire just burned the outside of its skin, marking a dark spot on it. It kinda looked like the Cy-Bug Queen had a really hard armor on. Jake then came up with a dangerous yet smart idea. Something which really might work too.

"I don't know if this large one has a weak spot. She always has been contained, but if there was a weak spot it must be on the hardest place to reach." she said with a playful smile. "Just like Jake said, Thomas try to distract her by flying around her and casting your magic. Jake try to get on the back, use a tentacle if needed. I am going to shoot the rest of her tentacles off, she won't be able to cause much more damage that way. Unless she got something else in her arsenal." she said. And of course the Queen had something else to make her superior except for her immense size. She suddenly started to shoot lasers around her. Thomas, Jake and also Reno had to be careful not getting hit by it.

The Blizzard of Amaya destroyed the minor Cy-Bug, but she was probably too distracted to notice one of the lasers going straight at her and Vanellope. The tinier girl quickly grabbed Amaya and glitched out of the way before the laser hit the ground. "Are you okay?" Vanellope asked. Many more laser shots followed after that first one. Luckily the Cy-Bugs were distracted by Tink's bright light, so Amaya and Vanellope could dodge the lasers better while Amaya still could use her Blizzard spells.

amaya noticed a light out of the corner of her eye as she looked out "oh god."She commented before she felt a tiny hand grab her. she shut her eyes tightly before opening them finding her on the ground "yeah I am fine...we need to dodge those lazers.."She commented moving out of the way of some more lazers as she unleashed a bliizaja spell in hopes it blocks a lazer and harm some the heartless. She looked towards the moutain where the boys were fighting the main boss "be careful you guys."She commented gently to herself

Ascot, as foretold, recovered quickly, unleashing his flurry of attacks at Turbo, but left an opening for Belle to unleash her own skills as well. He smiled as the Thunder Dash stunned the monster, but, at the same time, was disappointed that he had no electric techniques of his own. Still Hasted, the boy sent out a spray of projectiles from his Shotlock at King Candy, but, as the villain boasted, knew that something more blatant was needed.

The boy, using one of his last higher-end techniques, Sonic Blade, began a series of short, sharp attacks at King Candy, hoping to distract him from Ralph. He then tried another Holy, although Ascot was now thinking: Why did he keep bothering with this technique?

Jake barely heard Calhoun calling him and turned around. However, her plan put a wide, savage grin on his face.

"That plan is so damn crazy it just might work... I love it!" He turned to Thomas. "Thomas, just keep blasting that freak show while I get on top. I trust you kid!"

With that, he did a running jump, gave a wild battlecry, grabbed a tendril, and allowed it to lift him up into the air, letting go at the right time and allowing him to land right on its back. He had to brace himself against the surprisingly powerful gale force coming from the Queen's wings.

'Damn! This thing literally kicks up a storm!' he thought, fighting against the wind for every step. He managed to get close to the wings, before slamming Kaiser Leo into her thick hide while hacking away at the rapidly fluttering wings with Konig Raubtier.

"Newflash, Your Highness!" he called out. "This flight has been declared a hazard and needs to be grounded!"

Moving, Thomas was buoyed in turn by Jake's approval and encouragement, even if his taunting and insults in battle were pretty bad, all things considered. But he wasn't focused on that as he kept up his attack. He grit his teeth as he swung, but it didn't actually do that much damage when a hit landed. The thing had tough armor, which would require an adjustment of strategy.

Fortunately, Jake was here to provide that, drawing on the experience that Thomas lacked, even if it was by his own admission a crazy plan. Slight irritation at the fact that he was supposed to be the one coming up with the plans was dismissed, and he was even okay with it being out there in terms of sanity. Being with everyone in this group helped relax such sensibilities.

"Alright," he replied, cutting the strands of magic as he shifted form his Keyblade to Glider form and hopped on, pulling out his staff in the process. It was just then that Calhoun tempted fate, and fate responded by having the Queen begin firing lasers everywhere. "Seriously," Thomas grumbled as he swerved to dodge. "That's like saying 'at least things can't get worse.'"

Well, not much to be done about it now, though he did see some possible advantage, and he reached out with his magic, a green and red rabbit popping into existence at his summon. "Carbuncle, give us a hand," he called. The rabbit nodded, did some midair flips, and the red gem it had sparkled, casting Reflect on the five people in the area. He wasn't sure if Reflect would be useful against lasers compared to, say, Protect, but it was worth a shot.

Carbuncle flashed away in a twinkle of magical energy and Thomas did what he had been asked to do. he thought about drawing the metal sword Serin had given him, but with the Queen's tough armor that seemed counter productive and not helpful. So magic it was, specifically Fira and Blizzara. He would have tried to follow what Serin had taught, but a major boss fight as it were probably wasn't the time for experimentation. and he didn't want to shock Jake with Thundara accidentally, so fire and ice went in dual combination as he dodged and struck with his magic.
