* Mr. Litwak: Swizzle and Gloyd were indigment.

* Swizzle: Why? You could beat them in a random roster race any day!
* Rancis: Really?!
* Mr. Litwak: Said Rancis.
* Rancis: They should like to see me do it!
* Mr. Litwak: Next morning, Candlehead's Green pit crew member was suddenly taken ill, and could hardly stand. So The Pink pit crew member decided to see if Candlehead's Ice Screamer was ready for racing. Candlehead was impatient. Suddenly, The Chief Marshmallow shouted.
* Chief Marshmallow: There goes Candlehead puffing away down the line! All traffic halted.
* Mr. Litwak: He announced at last and then told The Pink pit crew member what had happened.
* Chief Marshmallow: Two candy kids were on Candlehead's Ice Screamer's footplate fiddling with the controls.
* Pink Saltwater Taffy: Darn!
* Chief Marshmallow: They've tumbled off and ran when The Ice Screamer started.
* Mr. Litwak: The Chief Marshmallow answered the telephone.
* Chief Marshmallow: Yes? She's here? Right, I'll tell her. Sour Bill's coming at once. He wants a shunter's pole and a coil of wire rope along with a brake cable.
* Pink Saltwater Taffy: What for?
* Mr. Litwak: Wondered The Pink Saltwater Taffy.
* Chief Marshmallow: Search me, but you better get them quickly.
* Mr. Litwak: The Pink Saltwater Taffy was ready when Rancis arrived. Sour Bill saw the pole, the brake cable, and a rope.
* Sour Bill: Good girl, jump in.
* Rancis: We'll catch her, we'll catch her.
* Mr. Litwak: Puffed Rancis. Candlehead was laughing.
* Candlehead: What a lark! What a lark!
* Mr. Litwak: She chuckled to herself. Suddenly, she was going faster and faster. She realized that she had no brake cable to put on the brakes.
* Candlehead: What shall I do?! I can't stop! Help! Help!
* Rancis: We're coming, we're coming!
* Mr. Litwak: Called Rancis. Rancis was panting up behind with every ounce of steam his Kit Kart had. At last, he caught up with Candlehead.
* Peanut Buttercup: Steady, Rancis. Whoa!
* Mr. Litwak: Called A Peanut Buttercup pit crew member. Bill stood on the Kit Kart's front holding a noose of rope in the crook of the shunter's pole. He was trying to slip it over The Ice Screamer's candles. The karts swayed and lurched. At last...
* Sour Bill: Got her!
* Mr. Litwak: He shouted. He pulled the noose tight and gave Candlehead the brake cable. Gently braking, The Peanut Buttercups checked the karts' speed, and The Pink Saltwater Taffy pit crew member scrambled across and took control with the two karts going slowly down the track.
* Rancis: So the old iron caught you after all.
* Mr. Litwak: Chuckled Rancis.
* Candlehead: I'm sorry.
* Mr. Litwak: Whispered Candlehead.
* Candlehead: Thank you for saving me. You were splendid, Rancis.
* Rancis: That's all right.
* Mr. Litwak: Replied Rancis.
* Rancis and Candlehead: Oh, we're tired. A good rest. That's what we need to get our strength fixed.
* Mr. Litwak: The racers arrived at the Royal Raceway side by side. President Vanellope was waiting.
* Vanellope: A fine piece of work.
* Mr. Litwak: She said.
* Vanellope: Candles, you can rest, and then ride in your Ice Screamer. I'm proud of you, Butterfingers. You shall go to the mechanic and have your Kit Kart's worn parts mended.
* Rancis: Oh, thank you, President.
* Mr. Litwak: Said Rancis.
* Rancis: It'll be lovely not to clank.
- When the spirits still roamed the earth freely, General Old Iron resided on the seashore, near where centuries later the city of Yu Dao would be erected. He protected his friend, Lady Tienhai, while she tended to their surroundings. However, when a tribe of humans made their home on the cliff near the shore without asking permission, General Old Iron intended on eradicating them before they could grow prosperous, as he had heard of humans wiping out the spirits in other places around the world. Before he could execute his plan, he was stopped by Lady Tienhai, who forsook their friendship to save the humans. As a result, General Old Iron left. Centuries later, General Old Iron felt Lady Tienhai exhale her last breath. He assumed that she was killed by the humans, unaware that Tienhai had fallen in love with the settlers' prince and thus gave up her immortality to be with him, resulting in her dying of natural causes and taking on a new form. Devastated, he returned to that place, intent on wiping out the entire populace, though he was met by Avatar Yangchen. When she addressed him, he easily swatted her aside and made his way toward the city. The Avatar returned, however, and they fought through the night, destroying the city in the progress. By the break of dawn, he communicated his story with Yangchen, letting her know who he was and why he was so vengeful toward the people living there. When the local king corroborated his story, General Old Iron started to attack the people directly, though was persuaded to cease his assault and come to an arrangement with Yangchen, the upkeep of which she vowed to ensure. Old Iron vowed to never take up his armor again so long as the land remained free of human civilization. In return, Yangchen constructed a memorial in Tienhai's image and lead her people on yearly pilgrimages to the site to pay respect to Tienhai, the land being declared sacred so no one would think to develop the area, to prove that humans could protect and preserve nature. In 102 AG, after Loban and the Rough Rhinos began to pull Old Iron's armor from the city, the spirit emerged from the sea and took it back, dragging Loban, Satoru, and Sokka with him as he stormed into the city. Seeing the deal he had made with Yangchen being broken, he began to attack, threatening to wipe humans from existence. He was quickly challenged by Aang, who had constructed an earthen shield to match Old Iron's form and activated the Avatar State to enhance his power. The general matched with the Avatar blow-for-blow, but his iron armor was soon metalbent off of him by Toph and her students. He demanded to know why the metalbenders were tearing his shielding apart and set to attack them, but Aang ripped a hole in his chest with a blast of all four elements. Old Iron, tears appearing in his eyes, realized there was no place for his kind in the world, seeing he was significantly weaker than the humans. Unconvinced by Aang's pleas that he could maintain balance between the physical and Spirit Worlds, the spirit told him that he was only fooling himself and the Avatar would always side with the humans in a rift between them and the spirits. He added that humans, even Aang, had a will to dominate and the worlds could never be balanced. Acknowledging his defeat, Old Iron retreated under the sea for good.
