|
|
|
... then are... we going to... wake back up from our slumber?
|
|
|
|
That'z right! I stored each little crumb of your dough very carefully, you zee.
|
|
|
|
So when the Golden City clozes down, you shall not dizappear, but fall into a sweet, deep sleep. CHIRP!

Golden Cheese Cookie

Mhm, yes... is everyone unharmed?
|
|
|
|
The Cookies from the outside protected us, so no one was hurt.
Burnt Cheese Cookie is fighting off Smoked Cheese Cookie!

... Everyone, I.
|
|

|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
I couldn't bear to watch my treasures disappear...
I wanted all that was mine to gleam and glisten...
|
|
| And that is why I lied to you all.
For that !... I apologize.
|
|
|
Your Majesty!
|
Party Cookie 1
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
I will no longer lie to you.
|
|
| I will close the Golden City, and find a way to fix all your dough completely.
|
| You may be sleeping for a while..
|
| But... if you trust me and just wait for me,
I promise to find a way that I can meet you all again.
|
|
|

Dreaming Little Cookie
|
Yay! So it's a promise, right?
And you promise to keep it?
|
|
| Cause I want to be really tall without needing to transform!
|
|
|
Ha ha.
That's right. I promise.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
|
No... Golden Cheese Cookie... has... awoken. Cough!
Why did she have to wake...?!
|
|
|
|
Ugh... Your Majesty...
|
Burnt Cheese Cookie
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
Burnt Cheese Cookie, you've done well.
Now retreat and check your injuries.
|
|
| Now... everyone can rest.
I shall come to wake you once I've done what I need to do.
|
|
|
... I shall wait for you, My Queen.
|
Burnt Cheese Cookie
|

Mozzarella Cookie
|
If you need a bit of help, it's alright to wake my up. Tee hee!
|
|
|
|
I have no regretz left, nor am I leaving behind a mummy.
Thiz iz my farewell, CHIRP!
|
High Priest Cheesenbird
|
| Thank you for many great yearz, Your Majezty.
|
High Priest Cheesenbird
|
| I have left you a humble prezent, so go to the canyon at sunset...
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
My friend, I promise to do so...
|
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
My Golden City... I put you to rest.
|
|
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
NOOOOOO!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
It... was MINE! Mine... It should've been mine!
|
|
|
|
It can't... end like this!
I haven't done... any of the things... I wanted!
|
|
|
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
... Then I'll destroy it all. DESTROY IT ALL!
If I can't have it... NO ONE CAN!
|
|
|
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
Monsters. Tear it all apart!
Destroy it all and leave nothing behind!
|
|

Black Raisin Cookie
|
... I think he's having another tantrum.
|
|
|
|
Shall we, GingerBrave?
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

GingreBrave
|
YEAH! Always ready!
|
|
|
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|
Come, Smoked Cheese Cookie.
|
|
| Show me how your greed compares to mine!
|
|

Olive Cookie
|
The Golden City... is disappearing...
|
|
|
|
Sleep well, mommy...
|
Sleepy Little Cookie
|

Cookie with Odd Wings
|
Yes... you too.
We can sleep in as long as we want tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
... He he! I'm so excited!
|
Sleepy Little Cookie
|

Party Cookie 2
|
See you again sometime, Outsider Cookie!
|
|
|
|
We will! See you later!
|
GingerBrave
|

Servant Cookie 1
|
May you rest well.
|
|
|
|
Sleep well.
|
Servant Cookie 2
|
|
|
See ya soon...!
|
|
|
|
|
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
|
Argh... why? Why... was I not... enough...
|
|
|
|
... Smoked Cheese Cookie.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
|
Hah... I'd rather you just destroyed me...
Why are you showing me mercy?
|
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
|
Perhaps... You wish to... humiliate me... first?
|
|
|
You, too, are one of my subjects.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
|
...
|
|
|
|
I am angry at you, yes. But as long as I'm your queen, I have a responsibility for your actions.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|
| So, you may rest easy now.
We shall talk... when you wake up.
|

Smoked Cheese Cookie
|
... Sigh... Truly, you are...
|
|
| A foolish... queen.
|
|
|
|
|

Fettuccine Cookie
|
Woo... Woooo, woo!
|
|
|
|
... Yes. As long as I do what I must, we will be able to meet again.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

GingerBrave
|
Golden Cheese Cookie...
|
|
|
|
Now! This glum atmosphere is no good!
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|
| High Priest Cheesenbird mentioned a gift, so would you accompany me to the canyon to see it?
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

GingerBrave
|
Uh... yes! Alright! I'm excited to see what it is!
|
|
|
|
|
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
Ah, the sunset's light is blinding already.
Perhaps, it's been too long since I've watched one...
|
|
|
|
Her Majesty! Her Majesty is here, chirp!
|
Manager Cheesebird
|
|
Cheesebirds
|
CHIRP CHIRP! Bawk! Cheeeese- chirp!
|
|
|
|
...? The Cheesebirds? How...
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

Manager Cheesebird
|
Your Radiance! We are the Cheesebirdz that have been working away in the minez for generationz! CHIRP!
|
|
|
|
Our great-great-great-great grandfather High Priest Cheesenbird relocated our families to the minez, chirp!
|
Miner Cheesebird
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
... Did he now!
|
|
|
|
And he instructed us to come to the canyon every day at sunset, and prepare to welcome Her Magnificent Radiance, CHIRP!
|
Miner Cheesebird
|
| To show off how many new denizenz the Golden Cheese Kingdom, CHIRP, has gained!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... Ha ha. Ha ha ha...
I see.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|
| Part of what I had... survived without me realizing.
|
| Behold... This is my true kingdom.
Quite something, is it now?
|
| Isn't it wonderful?
|

Black Raisin Cookie
|
... That's right Golden Cheese Cookie.
|
|

Black Raisin Cookie
|
You are the ruler of a truly abundant Kingdom.
|
|

Olive Cookie
|
Are you sure you want to come with me, Fettuccine Cookie?
I'm planning to remain and inspect the Golden Cheese ruins, so... it could get dull for you!
|
|
|
|
Woo, wooo! Woo...
|
Fettuccine Cookie
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
Fettuccine Cookie seems to have taken a real liking to you.
She's asking whether you will accompany her from now on.
|
|
|
|
Oh wow... well, in that case, I have no reason to say no!
|
Olive Cookie
|
| Fettuccine Cookie, I'll stick by your side and make sure you're safe!
|
Olive Cookie
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
Very well, that is a relief for me as well.
Have fun until we meet again, Fettuccine Cookie.
|
|
|
|
Wooo!
|
Fettuccine Cookie
|

Wizard Cookie
|
Then, what are you going to do now, Golden Cheese Cookie?
... Will you come with us?
|
|
|
|
GingerBrave, you said that all of Earthbread was just as important to protect as the Golden City, right?
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|
| I liked that.
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|
| If I ensure the safety of the entire world, then my denizens will also be safe when they wake up, right?
|

Black Raisin Cookie
|
So that means...!
|
|
|
|
The God of the Golden Cheese Kingdom shall join you!
Let us fight together!
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

Wizard Cookie
|
Weeeee! We did it...!
Now we can fight with all of the Heroes on our side!
|
|
|
|

GingerBrave
Yipee! Great, now let's head back together!
Onward, to Cookie Kingdom!
|
|

Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
Everyone, have you all been well?
|
|

Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
Thank you for gathering in the Vanilla Kingdom on such short notice.
|
| I know that each and every one of you is busy protecting our world in your own way.
|
|
|
I'm so happy to see everyone again!
|
GingerBrave
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
It was pure luck that your message reached me when I was back in the Hollyberry Kingdom! I'd been traveling quite far, you see.
|
|
|
|
But... can we be sure that this beast is our true ally?
|
Dark Cacao Cookie
|

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
|
You dare sssay sssuch thingsss to my face? If you're ssso suspiciousss, feel free to battle me once more!
|
|
|
|
Ha ha... Great Dragon! Truly, we are grateful to have you on our side.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|

Clotted Cream Cookie
|
I am sure that Pure Vanilla Cookie has an important reason for summoning us all.
|
|
|
|
Indeed. I intend to talk to you about a very important matter.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
| Before we last parted, we discussed the many obstacles we faced in our yet to Beast-Yeast, where Dark Enchantress resides.
|
| And we all agreed that we should use the strength of both Elemental and Dragon Cookies in our quest...
|
| ... and find the last of the Ancient Heroes, Golden Cheese Cookie.
|
GingerBrave and his companions have done an amazing job. Finally, my old friend...
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
|
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
Sound the golden trumpets! For your God has arrived!
|
|

Dark Cacao Cookie
|
...!
|
|
|
...! Golden Cheese Cookie!!!
|
Hollyberry Cookie
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
Why so startled? You look like you've seen a ghost!
|
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
But- You... where have you been this whole time!
|
|
|
|
I heard that the Golden Cheese Kingdom was completely destroyed in the course of the Dark Flour War... I'm thankful you're safe.
|
Dark Cacao Cookie
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
You think this dough would crumble so easily? No, I was only in a deep, long slumber!
|
|

Golden Cheese Cookie
|
But now I have awoken, I must face reality and move on!
|

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
|
Now we have four Sssoul Jamsss gathered in one place...
|
|
|
|
Don't even think about it, Pitaya Dragon Cookie.
|
Hollyberry Cookie
|

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
|
Wha- what are you accusing me of!
|
|

Clotted Cream Cookie
|
Finally, the Ancient Heroes are all gathered in one place.
|
|
| And now, with the added strength of the Red Dragon and Moonlight Cookie... I am certain that we could commence our expedition to Beast-Yeast immediately.
|
|
|
However, there is one thing we still lack.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
| And that is of course information on Beast-Yeast itself.
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
I've been there a few times, but... Beast-Yeast is different from Crispia in every way.
|
|
| It's an unstable, hostile environment, with fields of Cookievorous plants and thick forests enshrouded by darkness.
|
|
|
And since Dark Enchantress Cookie is up to no good, there's no doubt Beast-Yeast is filled with deep, dark secrets.
|
Dark Cacao Cookie
|

Clotted Cream Cookie
|
The Crème Republic has attempted several expeditions to the continent, but we have yet to succeed in crossing the border.
|
|
|
|
Indeed, for the continent of Beast-Yeast exists under completely different laws than that of Crispia.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
| There is a reason that other Cookies have been unable to access it.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
| And as Dark Cacao Cookie said, it is simply too dangerous for us to send off our full forces on an expedition when we're still unsure of Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
|
Then what are you sssuggesting we do?!
|
|
|
|
We must send a small exploration party first.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
| The Cookies I have in mind are GingerBrave with his companions and...
|
| ... myself.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you sure?
|
|
|
|
Under normal circumstances, I would've requested GingerBrave's help only, but...
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
| Beast-Yeast may present threats which might require my strength to overcome.
|
| I hope that with my help, GingerBrave's courage will light up the darkness of Beast-Yeast.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|

Clotted Cream Cookie
|
We may certainly stand a chance in crossing the border is we have an Ancient Hero on our side.
|
|
|
|
And while we search for information on the land of Beast-Yeast and Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans, the rest of you must return to your Kingdoms and prepare your expeditionary forces.
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|
|
|
|
|

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
|
Agh, are you telling usss to wait again?!
|
|
|
|
Considering the battle awaiting us, we must remain cautious.
|
Dark Cacao Cookie
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
That's right Pitaya Dragon Cookie.
|
|
|
|
Is there a Cookie here who could explain what in Cheese's name is going on?
|
Golden Cheese Cookie
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
Oh, that's right! There's so much we must tell Golden Cheese Cookie, and even more!
|
|

Hollyberry Cookie
|
I'll tell you all about it over some juice after the meeting!
|
|
|
GingerBrave, what do you say?
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie
|

GingerBrave
|
If it's to protect my friends, I can run to the ends of Earthbread!
|
|

GingerBrave
|
And having Pure Vanilla Cookie on my side fills me up with even more confidence!
|
| Let's GO!
To Beast-Yeast, the continent where Dark Enchantress Cookie resides!
|
