“ You must return to the Vanilla Castle and gaze upon your past, once and for all. „
After their encounter with Dark Enchantress Cookie, GingerBrave and his friends find themselves in a desolate land, where crumbling survivors flee from rampaging Wafflebots. With the help of a blind healer, they open the gateway to an ancient castle floating in the sky: the fabled Vanilla Kingdom! But why are the streets empty and ruined? And who is this curious pink child who wants to play?
01. Light of Truth | |
---|---|
??? | Wake up, Pure Vanilla Cookie. The time for your second chance has come. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Who... Who are you...? |
02. Dark Enchantress Cookie's Return | ||
---|---|---|
Pomegranate Cookie |
Master! At last, you have regained your body and strength! |
|
My faithful Pomegranate Cookie... Such a pleasure to finally see you with my own eyes. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
I knew that you would be the first to greet me. I will not forget this. | ||
Pomegranate Cookie |
They used to call this place the "Vanilla Castle," after that hypocrite king and his lackeys... But now, it's all waiting for you, Master, the rightful ruler! |
|
Pomegranate Cookie |
THE WORLD TREMBLES BEFORE YOU AND THE MIGHT OF THE DARKNESS YOU EMBODY! | |
No, my dear Pomegrante Cookie, this is merely the beginning. I must first claim the strength of the Five Heroes as my own! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Soul Jam, made of the purest Life Powder, scattered across the world... It is time I made it MINE! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Ah, Pure Vanilla Cookie... You may watch from your abyssal prison as I use your power to remold this world into my vision! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
03. Cookies of the Abandoned Village | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
WHERE IS SHE?! Where is Dark Enchantress Cookie?! |
|
Ha ha! That old lady knows better than to mess with ME, THE MIGHTY KING! Ahem... | Custard Cookie III | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Not a Cookie around, huh? Where is everyone? |
|
I suspect... No, I'm almost certain we are being watched! |
Wizard Cookie | |
??? |
Outlanders! Not another step. |
|
B-Black Raisin Cookie...! | Villager Cookie 3 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Go back and hide! It's an attack! Leave these outlanders to me. |
|
Huh? Where're you hiding?! Show yourself... or else! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Your eyes are not trained to pierce the shadows... Such eyes will never see me. |
|
Outlanders are not welcome in our village! | ||
Black Raisin Cookie! They're almost here! |
Villager Cookie 5 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Let them come! I wanna see how skilled these outlanders are in battle. Let's see how long you last. |
|
Wh-what? Like, WHAT...? |
Strawberry Cookie | |
Raisin Crow |
Caw caw! Caw! | |
GAH! Where'd all these crows come from?! | GingerBrave | |
*Ominous humming* | Vanilla Cone Legionnaire | |
Custard Cookie III |
LOOK! A yummy giant vanilla ice cream cone! ... Is it about to attack us? |
|
Yeah, I don't think it wants to be eaten! I think it really, REALLY hates that idea...! |
GingerBrave | |
Wizard Cookie |
Its waffle plating is much more durable than it seems! This will take some serious effort! |
04. Clues Left by the Wafflebots | ||
---|---|---|
Custard Cookie III |
HA HA, what a great victory! Not once did I doubt the skills of my faithful servants! |
|
Pshhh... Those things didn't stand a chance! | GingerBrave | |
Strawberry Cookie |
But what is this place...? It's so empty... and creepy... |
|
YEAH, where are we?! There's nothing but dust here! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
Well, would you take a look at this! A piece of waffle has fallen off those things. |
|
Huh! Thing's hard as a diamond! Hooold on... Is it... DIAMOND? Piece of trash! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
Oh, I think I know: these must be Wafflebots! Ah, it feels great to be smart. |
|
I've never seen such an intricate fusion of magic and engineering up close! | ||
Oh oh, could this be the Vanilla Kingdom?! I'm on fire! We must find out what's going on here! | ||
Wait, are you saying that Dark Enchantress Cookie sent us all the way straight to the VANILLA KINGDOM?! | GingerBrave | |
Custard Cookie III |
THIS WAY, MY COOKIES! My kingly senses tell me we're on the right path! |
05. Prove Your Honesty! | ||
---|---|---|
Black Raisin Cookie |
Sorry I'm late. But I'm here now. Everything is going to be fine. |
|
Black Raisin Cookie! Some of us are in rough shape, but we all made it, thanks to you! | Villager Cookie 1 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
There's no end to those Wafflebots' attacks...! But... It's gotten too quiet. I wonder what happened to those outlanders. |
|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
YOU! You used us as BAIT! | |
Outlanders! How'd you manage to get past the Wafflebots?! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
We defeated them in a GLORIOUS COMBAT! HUZZAH! | |
They defeated... the Wafflebots? | Villager Cookie 1 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
I don't trust you. It must be some trick. Or... Are you conspiring with them? |
|
What?! SAY THAT AGAIN YA— |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
WAIT! We're just like you, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside! I assure you, no ice cream is flowing through our dough! |
|
Hmm... You are indeed a group of baked Cookies. Delicately baked, at that. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
But, I know better than to trust an outlander! You'll have to prove yourself to me. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Gladly! What must we do? |
|
Simple task: eat this! | Black Raisin Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
EW! RAISIN BUNS! Take 'em away from me! |
|
KNEW IT! Picky-eating outlanders are not to be trusted. | Black Raisin Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Get out of my sight! NOW! | |
HAAA! Outlanders begone! Outlanders begone! |
Villagers | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Seriously?! Because of stupid raisin bread? | |
EVERYONE, RUN! Over there: a tent! |
GingerBrave |
06. We're Not Enemies | ||
---|---|---|
Black Raisin Cookie |
GOT YA! | |
HAAA! Surround them! Surround them! |
Villagers | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Huh? It's DEFINITELY gonna take more than that to stop us! |
|
!!! No, wait! NOT THAT WAY! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
??? |
ENOUGH! | |
Wise One... | Villager Cookie 1 | |
Healer Cookie |
My patients need quiet. Please, do not disturb their rest. |
|
But Healer Cookie! They've breached our village! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
Wafflebots? Here? Where?! |
|
No, Healer Cookie. Not Wafflebots. These Cookies. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
AHEM! GREETINGS! HI! NEWLY MET COOKIES! I am here to become your new king! |
|
See? These outlanders would dare to- OW! Healer Cookie!? That hurt! OW! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
Take a good look at these travelers, Black Raisin Cookie! Certainly, they are not our foes. |
|
Don't close off your soul to strangers' help. | ||
Such wise words! I, Custard Cookie III, also wish for peace between us! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
But outlanders cannot be trusted! | |
Let them come inside, Black Raisin Cookie. I'm sure everyone can't wait to hear our guests' story. Even my staff wants to say "hi"! |
Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Your staff can't even talk! | |
Now, now. Cookies from afar! Let us share the roof tonight! Our humble village welcomes you! |
Healer Cookie |
07. Castle in the Sky? | ||
---|---|---|
Villager Cookie 2 |
My arm... Strawberry jam is seeping out... |
|
H-h-help... me... I'm... d-dizzy... | Villager Cookie 4 | |
Healer Cookie |
You will be alright in no time, my friends! ... I was gone just for a moment, and already more wounded need tending. |
|
Um... Are you taking care of all these Cookies? By yourself...? |
Strawberry Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Yes. He can work miracles! Almost every Cookie in our village has had a wound tended by Healer Cookie before. |
|
Though I find myself cleaning up after many of Black Raisin Cookie's shenanigans. He he. | Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
I was just complimenting you! | |
Oooh, then it's decided! When I am crowned King of the Vanilla Kingdom, I shall appoint you as the Royal Physician! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Healer Cookie |
Then I must double my efforts to live up to such expectations! But, if I may ask, your Majesty... What is it you mean by "King of the Vanilla Kingdom?" |
|
It's a magical kingdom with a long history. The kingdom was so awesome and advanced that every Cookie living there was super happy! |
GingerBrave | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
A kingdom so great must have tons of treasures as well! | |
Technically, my healing magic is also a treasure passed down from the Vanilla Kingdom! | Custard Cookie III | |
Villager Cookie 4 |
That's... amazing...! Can we use that magic to defend the village from the Wafflebots? |
|
If we could receive aid from this kingdom, we would no longer need to live in fear! | Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave, I must know. Where is this Vanilla Kingdom? |
Healer Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
We don't know for sure, but it shouldn't be far from here. I take it, none of you have seen any kingdoms around? |
|
Wait...! Could it be... The castle in the sky? | Healer Cookie | |
Cookies |
CASTLE IN THE SKY?! | |
That's where the Wafflebots come from. With every rise of the crimson moon, they descend upon these lands and attack our village. |
Healer Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
That can't be the Vanilla Kingdom! They would never attack other Cookies! |
|
Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet, mkay? Could you tell us anything else? We need all the information we can get. |
Wizard Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
Yes, of course. The castle appeared above our village a few moons ago. A nightmarish screech echoed from the Raisin Cliffs, and from the wall of fog and dust appeared... |
|
Healer Cookie |
!!! Just like that! | |
BLACK RAISIN COOKIE, HURRY! We need you near the cliffs! |
Villager Cookie 1 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
What's going on?! | |
The crimson moon! And the sky... it's opening up again! |
Villager Cookie 1 | |
GingerBrave |
We're coming with you! Black Raisin Cookie could use our help! |
08. Fighting Together | ||
---|---|---|
Villager Cookie 1 |
Black Raisin Cookie! Over there! |
|
On my way! | Black Raisin Cookie | |
Raisin Crow |
Caw! CAW! | |
Villager Cookie 2 |
We need your help too! | |
GingerBrave |
What's going on?! There are Wafflebots everywhere! | |
The sky has opened. Soon, even more of them will rain down on us. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
And it is the perfect opportunity to strike at their heart! | Black Raisin Cookie | |
Villager Cookie 5 |
Black Raisin Cookie, there's too many of them! What if they break through to to the infirmary?! |
|
... We make our stand! Take defensive positions. We can't let them get to the wounded! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
You can count on us, Black Raisin Cookie! | |
HA HA! At last, a chance to prove my worth as King! | Custard Cookie III | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
You're going to... help... us? |
|
Black Raisin Cookie |
The whole world turned its back on us. Why come and help us now? | |
Ugh, are you still going on about the raisin bun thing?! | Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Urgh... It seems like we have no other choice. All right, I'll take you up on your offer! |
|
Good idea! You can trust us! |
GingerBrave |
09. The Awakened Healer | ||
---|---|---|
*Whir. Bzzzt.* | Vanilla Cone Legionnaire | |
Villager Cookie 3 |
H-H-Healer Cookie...! | |
Stay back! Don't come any closer! |
Healer Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
I am so sorry... If only Black Raisin Cookie were here...! |
|
No! Don't say that! | Villager Cookie 4 | |
Healer Cookie |
You're right. This is not the time for weakness! I am not alone! I must... wield protection magic once more! |
|
Don't forget about us! We're here to help! | GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
GingerBrave?! | |
We knew you'd be safeguarding the rear. That's what a great healer like you would do! |
Wizard Cookie | |
Strawberry Cookie |
... And I'll do my best to help as well! | |
Everyone...! Thank you for your aid! |
Healer Cookie | |
I will not stand down! I WILL protect my friends! |
Healer Cookie | |
Strawberry Cookie |
The Wafflebots! They've... frozen in place...? |
|
Amazing...! Healer Cookie, is this a form of healing magic as well? |
Villager Cookie 3 | |
Wizard Cookie |
How did you DO that?! I've never seen such a powerful spell before! That was definitely no ordinary magic... |
|
I... don't know. How did that even happen? I felt a surge of power as I made up my mind to fight, and... |
Healer Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
What a talented Cookie! You should consider becoming my retainer! |
|
Custard Cookie III |
I shall bestow upon you a grand title and a bunch of stuff! How about it? Sounds good, right? Riiight? | |
I'd love to, but... Huh? |
Healer Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
What... is that floating stone? I can sense a powerful aura emanating from it! |
|
It looks like the stone is... breathing? | Strawberry Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Is it a gemstone?! Lemme have a look! Huh? It went inside Healer Cookie's staff! |
|
It was you! You were the one that made my staff resonate with power for the past few days! | Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
WOW! Is that some kind of magic too? Healer Cookie, you're amazing! I've never seen anything like this! |
|
As am I, GingerBrave. Ever since your arrival, it's been a series of surprises! |
Healer Cookie | |
I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about this. I feel as if we can do anything! |
Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Alright! Let's keep this up all the way to the Vanilla Kingdom! |
10. Pure Vanilla Cookie's Awakening | ||
---|---|---|
??? | ...nilla Cookie... Pure... Vanilla... Cookie! | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Hmm? Huh?! | |
??? | At last! You can finally sense my presence. I have been waiting for so long. | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
The voice... I kept hearing your voice, but I could not recognize it. | |
You are the Light of Truth. And in turn, you are also me, are you not? | ||
Light of Truth | Yes! YES! You finally recognize me! | |
You have turned your back on me for so long, but I've always been here for you, waiting. | ||
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I was ashamed... Even with all this magic power and knowledge, I failed... | |
Light of Truth | And? What about now? Are you ready to embrace me, and unite with me once again? | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Yes. I will fight for peace and happiness once more! And if I ever come across the chance to fix my past mistakes, this time for sure, I'll...! | |
Light of Truth | That's the spirit! Don't fret, dear Pure Vanilla Cookie. We are capable of so much! |
11. At the Raisin Cliff | ||
---|---|---|
Black Raisin Cookie |
We made it past all those Wafflebots. You Cookies know your way in a fight. |
|
Aw, you're making me blush! Well, we couldn't have done it without you! He he! |
GingerBrave | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
These are the Raisin Cliffs. This is where the sky opens...! |
|
Then... that gigantic shadow must be... | Wizard Cookie | |
Strawberry Cookie |
A castle...! In the sky...! |
|
Er... I'm not seeing things, am I? How is a CASTLE floating in the sky?! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
It's GIGANTIC! That must be the Vanilla Kingdom. It has to be! |
|
Could it truly be so? Then let us make haste! |
Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Huh? Healer Cookie, look! The ground is glowing with each step you take. |
|
I think it has something to do with the gemstone from earlier. My staff is getting warmer and warmer as well! |
Healer Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
I think I understand now! That gem has unlocked a portal! |
|
Look, columns of pure light have appeared. Everyone ready? Grab the Cookie next to you, and don't let go! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
I'm ready as can be! This is it, guys! |
|
I'm not scared. After all, this is magic from the Vanilla Kingdom! |
Wizard Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Ha ha! Where there's treasure, there's ME! LET'S GO! | |
I can hear the fanfare already! Hold on, Vanilla Kingdom! Your king is coming! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Villager Cookie 3 |
Wait...! Black Raisin Cookie! |
|
Take this! It's not much, but it's a lil somethin' for the road... | ||
We've been saving some Jellies, every day... | Villager Cookie 2 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
How did—When did—But there wasn't enough food to begin with... I... I don't know what to say. Thank you. I will do everything to return peace to our village! |
|
And I'll come back as a better and stronger healer! Until then, take care, everyone! |
Healer Cookie | |
Villager Cookie 1 |
Black Raisin Cookie! Healer Cookie! We'll be waiting! |
|
D-don't forget to bring back some souvenirs...! | Villager Cookie 4 | |
GingerBrave |
Time to jump into the portal! Vanilla Kingdom... here we come! |
12. At the Vanilla Kingdom | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
We finally made it to the Vanilla Kingdom! | |
Behold, denizens of the Vanilla Kingdom! For I, Custard Cookie the third, descendant of the king, have arrived! SOUND THE FANFARE! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Wizard Cookie |
I CAN'T believe I found the long-lost Vanilla Kingdom! This discovery will be remembered in the history of magic as my GREATEST achievement! |
|
Wizard Cookie |
Just take a look at the architecture! Layers of wafers carved with intricate care, as if they were chocolate BRICKS! I... I can't even! | |
What did I tell you! The Vanilla Kingdom is the grandest of all kingdoms! I told you, didn't I? DIDN'T I?! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Wizard Cookie |
Indeed, you did! You were absolutely right! |
|
There's something familiar about this place... But, it's a bit different from what I imagined. |
Strawberry Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
Strawberry Cookie, do you feel that way as well? I sense a hint of... yes, something in the air. As if butter has aged rather too long... |
|
Psh, what're you talkin' about?! All I smell is GOLD! Now... where are they?! It's time for the heist of the century! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Don't forget why we're here. I get that you're all excited, but keep your guard up at all times. |
|
Hey, kiddo! Mustard or Custard, whatever your name is. Here's that red carpet, just like the one you're always going on about. |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
OOH! Perfect for a king's grand entrance! An excellent find, ha ha! |
|
Look up there, the silhouette in the crimson moon. I think the Wafflebots may be created at the top of the castle. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Lead the way! And if you could pass a treasure vault on the way, that'd be GREAT! |
13. Silent Kingdom | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
Hmm... Where IS everyone? We haven't seen a SINGLE Cookie yet. |
|
Perhaps they are preparing a banquet to welcome their king! With LOTS and LOTS of Jellies and fireworks! He he! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
I'd take a visit to a treasure vault over any welcoming party! | |
Something is amiss. It's too quiet... Keep your eyes peeled. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Yeah, yeah. Quit your yappin. |
14. War-torn Roads | ||
---|---|---|
Wizard Cookie |
Would you just LOOK at that! The cobbled tiles are very ornate, fashioned into honeycomb shapes! And those houses... AMAZING! |
|
Wizard Cookie! Watch your step! | Black Raisin Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
GAH! | |
I told you so... Tread lightly. These tiles you admire so much are breaking away. |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
Hmm... Upon closer inspection, it looks like these tiles were actually damaged by an external force, not by the passage of time. Perhaps they were damaged during the Dark Flour War... |
|
What? What do you mean? I thought the war ended a long time ago? |
Healer Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
It was generations ago, yes. But it is possible there haven't been any Cookies to fix these roads since then. Perhaps they fled from Dark Enchantress Cookie? |
|
Dark Enchantress Cookie...! The crimes she committed...! |
Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
We can't just leave this place like this. Let's fix up the holes in the road! |
|
I'd say that's a job well done! Bu we should cross over it carefully. | ||
Ooh, look at that abandoned village down there. We're so high up that it looks like a little toy! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
One wrong step and any Cookie'd be crumbs in no time! | |
ACK! What a horrid thing to say! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
I've never been this far from the village... Wonder if everyone is safe... |
|
Hey, Black Raisin Cookie! Whatcha doin? Keep up! |
GingerBrave | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Right, I'm on my way. |
15. A Cookie?! Here?! | ||
---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
*Sniff sniff* Ya smell that? Smells like stuff worth lots and lots of COINS! |
|
Chili Pepper Cookie! Be careful! |
GingerBrave | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Lemme see here... Trash. Junk. Scraps... Nope, definitely no, hmm... |
|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
UGH! This place is a scrap heap! | |
??? |
SCRAP?! | |
??? |
This alloy is coated with shiny syrup! These rivets are made of purified sweet cream! You called my perfect toys "scrap"! I DON'T LIKE YOU! | |
Huh? Who're you? |
GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
Impossible...! How can there be a Cookie here...? |
|
??? |
Huh? Wait, are you... COOKIES?! | |
??? |
Pfft, who am I kidding. I'M the ONLY Cookie here! OK, where are your data chip interfaces? | |
HEY! Get your hands off me! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
??? |
Judging by your round face, flat body, and the incredibly low percentage of cream in the dough... | |
NO WAY! I haven't seen another Cookie besides me in... calculating... FOREVER! | ||
Exactly how long is "forever," little one? | Healer Cookie | |
??? |
Huh? How should I know? No Cookies were around to tell me. The whole city was empty by the time I woke up. |
|
It's dangerous to stay out here all alone. Why don't you come along with us? |
GingerBrave | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Hold on. Something's not right! | |
There's no way that you're out here all alone. Where are your friends hiding?! | ||
Hey! Are you calling me a liar?! You don't even know me! RUDE! |
??? | |
HMPH! I don't have to listen to this nonsense. I'm outta here. Have fun getting lost! | ||
Black Raisin Cookie |
Fine by me. I would rather trust my instincts! |
16. Suspicious Playground | ||
---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
OOOH! What do we have here? How much do you think this is worth? |
|
Ugh, when did you even... Nevermind. | Wizard Cookie | |
??? |
*Scoffs* They can't even tell how awesome those Wafflebot parts are! |
|
Oi! You there! Show us where we can find more of these! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
??? |
Oh, those are definitely treasures. But they're DEFINITELY not yours to keep! Give 'em back! I need those parts! |
|
No way! I found this, fair and square! It's a trophy earned with my agile moves and swift skills! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
*Sigh* Just give it back. There's no need to fight. | |
Yeah! You better listen to the Cookie stuffed with ice cream! | ??? | |
Wizard Cookie |
I... WHAT?! | |
And you! The one with 13 grams of chili sauce! LISTEN UP! This is MY playground! And these are MY toys! |
??? | |
Everything left in this kingdom is MINE. So gimme back those parts while I'm still being "nice." | ||
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Nuh-uh. Not gonna happen. I found it. I picked it up. Therefore, it's MINE! |
|
HA HA HA! Looks like Chili Pepper Cookie has met her match! |
Custard Cookie III | |
??? |
You're as funny as the ingredients in your dough! HA! |
|
Pardon me, but I have something to ask. | Healer Cookie | |
Are you truly alone here? Where are all the other Cookies of this kingdom? |
Healer Cookie | |
??? |
I dunno! And I DON'T CARE. This kingdom fell a LOOONG time ago. |
|
Have you been living under a sugar cube? EVERYONE, literally everyone, knows this. | ||
No. It cannot be! All the Cookies who once lived here... gone? Then where did you come from? |
Healer Cookie | |
??? |
Good question! I'll tell you if you can catch me! TAG! You're it, HA HA! |
|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
STOP! | |
This is not the time for games! | Black Raisin Cookie |
17. The Awakened Wafflebots | ||
---|---|---|
Wizard Cookie |
Fascinating...! What on Earthbread is this massive fortress? |
|
Rejoice, my subjects! A descendant of the Vanilla Kingdom has come to claim the throne! |
Custard Cookie III | |
I hereby declare this fortress as my castle! Why? Because it looks COOL and SHINY, just like all the other buildings of this kingdom! | ||
Wizard Cookie |
Okay, tone it down a bit, will ya...? This IS the kingdom of your ancestors. You should probably show some respect. |
|
Nah, it's fine! All Cookies of the Vanilla Kingdom are kindhearted just like me! Once you meet them, you'll know what I mean! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Look at that massive door! Think it's some sort of treasure vault? Yeah, that's GOTTA be it! |
|
Hey! Don't you dare take anything! No, in fact, don't TOUCH anything! |
Wizard Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Whoa...! Look at all these sleeping Wafflebots! Is this is some kind of factory? |
|
If it is, then this entire journey has been worth every moment! Once this factory is destroyed, our village will be safe! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
Hold up. Take a look at these signs. This one says... Wafflehouse Construction... Hauling... Kingdom Defense...? |
|
This means that the Wafflebots weren't originally designed for attacking. The Vanillians created Wafflebots to help them with tasks that are too difficult for Cookies! | ||
Yet they are attacking us right now... Perhaps they went haywire after the war? |
Healer Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
Wait, wait, wait! Take a look at these! These are blueprints for a Waffle Goliath! |
|
Unbelievable! It seems that a permanent enchantment is cast on the complex machinery of the Wafflebots! With this spell, they can perform up to twenty-seven different types of commands! | ||
...? Err... Yes, yes, quite fascinating! As future king, I must take a closer look! Come, oh good Healer Cookie, my faithful servant! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Healer Cookie |
I don't think you should get that close- | |
Oh, do not fear! This one seems docile! Actually, I think it's asleep! |
Custard Cookie III | |
*wwwwWWHHIR* *RUMBLE* |
Waffle Goliath | |
Custard Cookie III |
Eh? | |
*WHIRRR!* *Clunk. CLUNK!* |
Waffle Goliath |
18. A Secret Passage | ||
---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
These things are TOUGH! | |
It missed us by a pancake's breadth! I told you we should've dismantled them at once! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
*Bzzzt!* *Clunk!* |
Waffle Goliath | |
*Rumble...* | Waffle Goliath | |
*RUMBLE!* | ||
Wizard Cookie |
You have got to be kidding me... | |
RUN FOR IT! | Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Ugh... NOOO! | |
Everyone, make haste! This way! |
Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Healer Cookie?! | |
Here, a small passageway! Follow me! |
Healer Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
O' Healer Cookie! I hereby appoint you as my Royal Bodyguard! |
|
You have saved your king's life! I must bestow a gift for the ages upon you! | ||
I am... glad to have helped. | Healer Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Hey, how'd you find this secret passageway, anyway? | |
Eh, no matter. You're pretty nifty, aren't ya! Wanna team up? We can split the loot, 10 to... 0, he he! | ||
Ha ha... Erm... |
Healer Cookie |
19. Asking for Too Much? | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
The path is smoother here on out. I think that's the city center over there! |
|
Black Raisin Cookie |
Wait... Do you see where the Wafflebots are heading? | |
No... NO! It seems they are heading towards the village! They're going to attack the village! |
Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
There are still Cookies remaining in the village. Healer Cookie! We must return quickly! |
|
W-wait! | Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
What are you waiting for? We have to go, now! |
|
The light in my staff... I... I'm afraid its power has been depleted from conjuring that portal. I am not certain that we can make it back up here! |
Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
But... protecting the village is our top priority! We can think about the return trip later! |
|
Can't we inspect the Vanilla Kingdom, just for a few moments more? There might be other Cookies that need our help! And... Dark Enchantress Cookie is...! |
Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
What has gotten into you? You are Healer Cookie, the sage and healer of OUR village Our enemy is the Wafflebots, not Dark Enchantress Cookie! |
|
Black Raisin Cookie |
We've only just learned of this place! This kingdom is not our home. This is not our war! | |
How can you say that? How can you turn your back and just walk away? Turning away from those who are suffering is cowardly! |
Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Are you calling me... a coward? | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
... I... I didn't know you thought of me that way. | |
Black Raisin Cookie, that's not what I meant— | Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
No, I get it. This isn't the first time I've felt this way... There were moments when you felt... distant. Just when I thought you were depending on me, I would catch you staring off into the distance... | |
Our village's wounded were in good hands, in your good care. It felt as if you belonged there... But perhaps I was asking for too much. | ||
No, wait! Wait... I will go with you! We can find a way, together. |
Healer Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
No. Please don't pour salt into my crumbs... |
|
Healer Cookie |
Black Raisin Cookie! Don't go! Wait for me! |
|
GingerBrave |
Look out! Wafflebots, incoming! It's too dangerous to run out there alone right now! | |
AHHH! | Healer Cookie |
20. Pure Vanilla Cookie, Alone Again | ||
---|---|---|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Why am I here again? Ah, I see. I have failed... again. | |
I disappointed my friends. I also could not protect the Cookies of my kingdom... | ||
Light of Truth | Pure Vanilla Cookie. Are you finally confronting the consequences of your actions? | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Yes... I really am quite pathetic, aren't I? I'm... I'm so useless! | |
With or without my memories, it does not matter! I wasn't able to make a difference then, and I couldn't make a difference now! | ||
Light of Truth | The time for solace and regret has just begun. You must return to the Vanilla Castle and gaze upon your past, once and for all. | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
But... I cannot. I do not... have the heart to endure such agony any longer. |
21. Healer Cookie Remains | ||
---|---|---|
Healer Cookie |
What...? Wh-where am I? |
|
PHEW! How're ya feeling there, Healer Cookie? |
GingerBrave | |
Wizard Cookie |
We got caught up in another Wafflebot attack. Glad to see you're still in one piece! |
|
Healer Cookie... I didn't know that you were so angry about what Dark Enchantress Cookie did... |
Strawberry Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
So... it was not a dream? Black Raisin Cookie has truly returned to the surface? Alone? |
|
Erm... yeah. But Black Raisin Cookie is tough! We should hurry and find Dark Enchantress Cookie and then help out the village! |
GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
Perhaps... |
22. The Destroyed Capital | ||
---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Oi! Healer Cookie! Is this even the right way? |
|
This appears to be the only path, no obstacles of any sort. But over there... are those barricades? |
Healer Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
Barricades? The Cookies of the Vanilla Kingdom wouldn't build these. I guess they didn't hear the news of my arrival! |
|
It looks like the Cookies were desperately trying to block Dark Enchantress Cookie's monsters. | GingerBrave | |
But in the end, it looks like they had no other choice but to run away. See, this barricade over here is destroyed to bits... | ||
Healer Cookie |
The city must be this way... I can feel it... |
|
Healer Cookie |
Let us remove this barricade and continue on. Come! | |
Wizard Cookie |
From what I recall from my research, the capital of the Vanilla Kingdom should be around here. It was said to be quite prosperous. Something of interest might still be there. |
|
Is my hat on straight? I need to make a good impression. It's my first time entering the ancient city, after all! | ||
Wizard Cookie... | Healer Cookie | |
I'm afraid the entire city has been destroyed. I... cannot believe it myself as well... | ||
Wizard Cookie |
HUH?! Wait, coming through... LEMME SEE! I have to see this for myself! |
|
Wizard Cookie |
...?! I... I can't believe this! How can anyone be capable of such... ATROCITIES?! There's nothing left! The healing fountains! The shining citadel walls! NOTHING! | |
There's not a single drop of springwater left, not even for their king? But I'M THIRSTY! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Wizard Cookie |
On behalf of all wizards of Earthbread... Dark Enchantress Cookie, you will PAY FOR THESE HEINOUS ACTS! |
|
This once grand city has been reduced to nothing but crumbs... This cannot be! |
Healer Cookie | |
Hello?! HELLO?! Is anyone here? |
Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Hey, take a look at that. There's a statue in the middle of the ruined square. It's the Cookie we saw in the tapestry! |
|
That's... Pure Vanilla Cookie, right? Um, I don't know why, but something about this place seems... creepy. |
Strawberry Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
A lone king with no Cookies to remember him... Ha. | |
I can't see... Somebody lift me up! I wanna see how much I resemble Pure Vanilla Cookie! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Wizard Cookie |
Hey, be careful! That statue is fractured! It might break any minute! |
|
Raisin Crow |
Caw! Caw! | |
Hmm? Black Raisin Cookie...? AGHHH! |
Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
The statue's crumbled down! Healer Cookie, are you alright? |
|
I-I am uninjured. | Healer Cookie | |
It's obviously not Black Raisin Cookie. Why would she even be here... |
Healer Cookie | |
Raisin Crow |
CAW! CAW...! | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Is it just me or is that crack in the ground getting bigger and bigger...? | |
GAH?! The ground is falling apart! RUN! |
GingerBrave | |
GingerBrave |
The square is gone... Nothing's left. A few seconds later, and we would've been toast! |
|
We've searched the whole city and found nothing but ruins... Could it be...? Does the Vanilla Kingdom truly not exist anymore? |
Wizard Cookie | |
Strawberry Cookie |
It's only a memory now... | |
I guess I can say goodbye to that pile o' treasures then... | Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
I didn't come this far to look at devastation... | |
Cheer up, everyone! Once I am crowned king, I will do everything to restore this kingdom to its former glory! |
Custard Cookie III | |
GingerBrave |
Yeah, YEAH! Let's hurry and get to Dark Enchantress Cookie! |
23. Meanwhile, in the Village... | ||
---|---|---|
Villager Cookie 5 |
Black Raisin Cookie?! You're back? How? Why?! |
|
You've returned so soon! But where is Healer Cookie? | ||
*Huff puff* I-I-I came back because I was worried! Is everyone safe? What of the injured? |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Villager Cookie 1 |
Everyone's safe, all thanks to you! But you're... *GASP* You're crumbling all over! |
|
Where's Healer Cookie? | Villager Cookie 2 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
He's... he's not coming. | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
But forget about him for now. We need to leave the village, and quickly! | |
But... but Healer Cookie...! *Sob* |
Villager Cookie 3 | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
What are you waiting for? Let's go! NOW! |
|
Raisin Crow |
CAW! CAAAW! | |
Oh? What have you brought, my winged friend? |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
What's this...? A torn piece from... Healer Cookie's robes?! Has something happened to him?! |
Black Raisin Cookie | |
Oh no! What have I done?! I knew I shouldn't have left him behind in my anger...! | ||
Hang in there, Healer Cookie. Help is on the way. |
Black Raisin Cookie |
24. Robots are SO COOL! | ||
---|---|---|
??? |
GOTCHA! | |
ACK...! | Strawberry Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
You again! | |
Yup, I've been waitin' for ya! What took you so long? No matter. Let's go play hide-and-seek! |
??? | |
Wizard Cookie |
We are quite busy at the moment. Why do you keep asking US to play? |
|
Because this place is BOOORING! All I did was ask you to play. Is that too much to ask? |
??? | |
Wizard Cookie |
Well, erm... No... However— | |
Analyzing behavioral patterns... AHA! I see why you're so skeptical! Your dough contains popping candy! You're... 70% intelligence, 29% curiosity... |
??? | |
What is that last 1%...? Further analysis shows... Ooooh! 1% genius! | ||
Wizard Cookie |
Well, I wouldn't say you're ENTIRELY wrong... Heh! | |
What're you doing here, anyway? | GingerBrave | |
??? |
I was waiting for you! D'uh! I was also fine-tuning my latest bot matrix configuration to make it less dependent on on my commands. That would be one SWEET upgrade! Ha ha. |
|
Oh, up... grape! Tell me more! |
GingerBrave | |
Wizard Cookie |
Hmm... This is quite different from any form of magic I know. |
|
HE HE HE! This is not JUST magic! THIS... is magichanical engineering! |
??? | |
I can build things with profoundly elaborate designs and then use learning protocols to teach them how to think! Look! I can make that busted Wafflebot over there move again! |
??? | |
Wizard Cookie |
That's the Wafflebot that just attacked us! | |
Oh... You don't like robots? But robots are SO COOL! |
??? | |
And they're really strong too! I'll show you later. |
25. Analyzing Strawberry Cookie | ||
---|---|---|
Strawberry Cookie |
Gotcha! Guess I found you first this time! | |
He he he! Why yes, you did! Where did you come from? And why are you ALWAYS hiding? |
??? | |
Strawberry Cookie |
Well, that's... erm... I'm kind of shy... I feel more comfortable hiding! |
|
How interesting...! Hide...? Even with all that artificial strawberry scent? |
??? | |
Strawberry Cookie |
Oh...? Is that... b-bad? | |
No, no! It's just that you could be so much tougher if you just did... whatever!? | ??? | |
Strawberry Cookie |
But... I already like whatever I'm doing...? | |
Why do you keep saying these things...? | ||
13% concentrated strawberry syrup. 7% sugar, adding to sweetness and adorableness. Pink food dye. Interesting. Very interesting! |
??? | |
Can I analyze your components further with my lab equipment? I got an idea! Let's go to my workshop! | ||
Strawberry Cookie |
What?! NO! Let me down! | |
Uh-oh! Strawberry Cookie! |
GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
Please give us back Strawberry Cookie, this instant! | |
HA...! The weak ones are always SO demanding... You're the weakest Cookie here, aren't you? |
??? | |
Healer Cookie |
I... what? | |
Don't worry! I'm not gonna hurt her. It's been a long time since I've conducted a thorough analysis on such an interesting subject. Okay, gotta go! Bye! |
??? |
26. True Colors | ||
---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
GOTCHA, ya lil' cheeky Cookie! | |
Oh, you caught me! I thought you were all dull and slow, but who knew! You can be agile and quick! |
??? | |
GingerBrave |
You underestimated us! That was your first mistake Running is our specialty! |
|
You let Strawberry Cookie go, RIGHT NOW! | Wizard Cookie | |
Strawberry Cookie |
I-I'm okay! Don't worry 'bout me... | |
My analysis is over anyways. You can have her, I couldn't care less! So dull. I didn't find any secret ingredients in her dough! |
??? | |
Wizard Cookie |
Hey! How dare you talk to Strawberry Cookie like that! | |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
You see, I just HAD to know! How is it that BASIC Cookies like yourselves, were able to defeat MY wondrously engineered Wafflebots? Wafflebots made by none other than ME, Strawberry Crepe Cookie! |
|
YOU'RE the one that let the Wafflebots loose in the Vanilla Kingdom?! | GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
Then... the reckless attacks on the village were also... How could you do this?! |
|
Erm... because it's FUN? HE HE! |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie | |
I woke up from a cryobaking pod and the kingdom was completely empty! Even the king was gone. Do you know how BORING it was here? | ||
That's when Dark Enchantress Cookie showed up and let me study the Wafflebots. She told me I had a gift for magichanical engineering! | ||
What a Cookie! So cool! And so nice! I want to live in a kingdom where Dark Enchantress Cookie is the ruler! | ||
Healer Cookie |
No, Strawberry Crepe Cookie... you are mistaken. Happiness comes from soft, sweet, and peaceful things in life. Dark Enchantress Cookie has molded you into something against your own nature! | |
We won't let this kingdom fall into the hands of Dark Enchantress Cookie! | GingerBrave | |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
You think you can beat ME? It's so pathetic, it's FUNNY! I've completed detailed analyses of your doughs AGES ago! |
|
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
Chili Pepper Cookie. 1% spiciness. 99% ignorance. | |
WHY YOU! I oughta...! | Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
Custard Cookie III. 70% naivety. 25% custard. 5% royalty. |
|
See! I AM indeed royal! | Custard Cookie III | |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
And GingerBrave. 100% bravery. You're so... ORDINARY! BASIC! MUNDANE! |
|
I'm no ordinary Cookie! I'm super brave when I need to be! |
GingerBrave | |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
Enough of the theorycrafting! Time to test it out on the field. I hope you don't disappoint me, he he! |
|
Strawberry Crepe Cookie |
I... lost...? No, no, NO! That wasn't FAIR! Let's call this a practice round! |
|
LIKE THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN! | Wizard Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
That's what you get for picking fights with other Cookies! Shame on you! |
|
I never said we needed to have a REAL fight! You were supposed to LOSE, easy-peasy! |
Strawberry Crepe Cookie | |
Let's go, one more time! Please? PLEASE?! Just one more...! |
27. Into the Castle! | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
We finally made it to the Vanilla Castle! For real this time! Dark Enchantress Cookie must be inside... let's hurry! |
|
Thank you, everyone, for accompanying me. I swear on all my power, I will stop Dark Enchantress Cookie! |
Healer Cookie |
