| ||
 |
||
| ......!! | ||
| This is...! My soul's abyss of regret...! | ||
 Pure Vanilla Cookie | ||
| Why... am I here again...? | ||
|
|
|
|
| Pure Vanilla Cookie... Pure Vanilla Cookie...! | ||
| Ahhh, there you are! To think you'd keep me waiting for so long...! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
||
| ...?! Light of Truth...? But... | ||
|
Light of Truth...? |
|
|
| Yes, yes...! I've been waiting for you all this time, even though you kept paying no mind...! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
||
| But I've already regained my strength...! | ||
| And I've sworn to use it for good, to fight for the happiness of all Cookiekind...! | ||
|
Light of Truth...? |
|
|
| Your strength...? Your strength...? | ||
| Ha... | ||
| AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! | ||
| What a funny little joke! How is it your strength? | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
||
| What... is that supposed to mean...? The Light of Truth is my... | ||
|
Light of Truth...? |
|
|
| It's my strength. | ||
| It's my strength that the Witches took from me on a whim. How come you get to use it however you want? | ||
| ... What do you know about truth? | ||
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
||
| You... you're not the Light of Truth... Who are you?! | ||
| ||
| ||
|
Light of Truth...? |
You spent so much time here, right under my gaze for so long, and yet you don't know who am I? I'm a little hurt, I must say... |
|
| I am the owner of the strength which you have never possessed, and never will possess. | ||
| I govern all Truth and Deceit of this world. | ||
| What you mistake for the power of Truth is but a cute tiny droplet in my limitless ocean of Knowledge. | ||
| So! Who am I?! Need another hint? I thought you would've solved my little riddle by now! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
The one who governs all Truth and Deceit... The Master of All Knowledge...? |
|
|
|
RING DING DING! |
Light of Truth...? |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
But you... used the power of Knowledge for evil and it reduced it to Deceit...! The Witches took your powers from you and sealed-! |
|
|
|
AND MAY THEY BURN UP IN THE OVEN!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Light of Truth...? |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
!!! | |
|
|
Phew! Alrighty! So, you think you stand a chance against me? |
Light of Truth...? |
| You're so, so, so, so silly! Silly-vanilly! Do I really have to spell it out for you?! | ||
| Well now, look around and tell me what you think of this place! I bet you just love it here! It must be so lovely to be back! Right in the middle of the abyss of your soul! | ||
| And I have to say, you're quite the clown yourself! To fall into such deepy-deep despair after admitting your own guilt! Oh, thanks to you I had such a good laugh! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
You were watching the whole time...?! How...? | |
|
|
Oh, want in on a little secret? Just don't tell anyone! See, I call this place "the Dark Side of the Moon." It's my home! You can seal me all right, but no punishment would extend all the way here! |
Light of Truth...? |
| That's right...! You've never escaped my sight, not even once! | ||
| And I can see right through you! Because all that you are comes from... me. | ||
| My my oh my! You're such, such a silly Cookie! No, really, how did you manage to snatch away half of my power with that silly, silly brain of yours? | ||
| Not even the Light of Truth made you smarter! Baffling! Befuddling! | ||
| ... So it's about time you give it back. | ||
| However! First things first, aha! I bet you're just CRUMBLING to meet all my friends, right? Say that you are, say that you are! | ||
| Well, the wait is almost over! I'll introduce them to you very soon! | ||
| 02. Beast of Deceit, Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
Ah...!!! | |
|
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie! Are you awake?! |
 |
 |
What have you done to Pure Vanilla Cookie?! |
|
 |
||
| Awww, it's been so long since we last met...! What's a little chat between old pals? | ||
 |
Pure Vanilla Cookie... are you alright...?! | |
|
|
I'm... alright... Just a bit dazed, that's all... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| Well then, let's see... I said hello to Pure Vanilla Cookie... That's one. | ||
| A few Faeries... Two. Some teeny-tiny Cookies... Three. | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| What's the next number? Five? Oh! He he he! Seems like there's a special someone missing? | ||
| NO! Where is he? Where did he go? Aww, I was sure he'd be the first one to greet me when I'm free! | ||
| Where aaaare you? Or have you crumbled from old age? | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Hmph, what a disappointment! Right when I was about to have some more FUN! | ||
 |
There is no need to be disappointed. For I will devote the rest of my life to casting you back to your prison! |
|
| ... Shadow Milk Cookie, Cookie of Deceit. | ||
|
|
Ahhh, my dear Elder Faerie! |
 |
 |
Your Majesty, are you alright?! |
|
|
|
... I have yet to crumble. And we have a far more important task at hand. |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| Eh he he he he! Awww, look at you! Did something happen?! You do seem a bit crumbly! | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| No-no-no-no-no, wait! WAIT! Don't tell me! Oh! Oh this is fun! You actually think you'll be able to stop me by sacrificing the rest of your pathetic life...? | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Aw, it almost hurts my feelings! You thought so little of me all this time? Huh?! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Tsk-tsk-tsk... Now that won't do at all, oh no! | ||
| Look at me, Your Majesty! | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| And see a force beyond your ken! | ||
 |
Eh he he he he! *pffft* I'm a silly little Faerie Cookie! | |
|
|
Wanna see a funny trick?! He he he! |
 |
 |
Watch me jump over burning coals! Ouch ouch ouch! He he he he! |
|
 |
*Sniff-sniff* Smells funny! Ooooooh! Everything's on fire?! He he he he! | |
|
Silverbell Cookie |
Oh, goodness! The Faerie Kingdom and all the Faerie Cookies have been consumed by the power of Deceit! | |
|
|
Your Majesty, give your command. |
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
 Elder Faerie Cookie |
...... The Silver Tree has been wounded, but it has not yet withered. Meaning that... |
|
 Elder Faerie Cookie |
... Shadow Milk Cookie has yet to regain his full strength. | |
| Besides, only his soul was released. Only half of his strength... | ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie is this strong with only half of his power...? |
 |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Do not let this break your resolve. If we do not stop the Beast, it will mean the end of the world as we know it. |
|
|
|
We can't let that happen! |
 GingerBrave |
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
We must stop him, at all costs...! |
|
|
|
For all Cookiekind... |
White Lily Cookie |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
We need everyone's strength. |
|
| The power of Deceit... must be put back to sleep. | ||
| ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
The Faerie Kingdom that used to be so beautiful... | |
|
|
Is filled with fear and chaos now... |
Strawberry Cookie |
|
White Lily Cookie |
...... Everything has been consumed... by the power of Deceit... |
|
 White Lily Cookie |
We must stop Shadow Milk Cookie from taking over the Faerie Kingdom...! Let's go...! | |
|
|
Look! There's Faerie Cookies over... there...? |
GingerBrave |
 Wizard Cookie |
But... there's something odd about them! |
|
|
|
Eh he he he he! *pffft* I'm a silly little Faerie Cookie! |
Clown Faerie Cookie 1 |
|
Clown Faerie Cookie 2 |
Wanna see a funny trick?! He he he! |
|
|
|
Everyone... wake up! Don't you recognize me?! It's me, Silverbell Cookie! |
Silverbell Cookie |
| Please, let us pass! | ||
|
Clown Faerie Cookie 3 |
Watch me jump over burning coals! Ouch ouch ouch! He he he he! |
|
|
|
These are no longer Faerie Cookies. Silverbell Cookie, strengthen your heart. |
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
 Silverbell Cookie |
If... If you don't move... Y-you leave me no other choice! |
|
|
|
*Sniff-sniff* Smells funny! Ooooooh! Everything's on fire?! He he he he! |
Clown Faerie Cookie 4 |
 Silverbell Cookie |
Everyone, I'm sorry...! |
|
| 03. The Greatest Show on Earthbread | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| ||
| ||
|
|
Ah, my dear, dear audience! The long-awaited show is finally about to begin! |
|
| I'm heeeere! The world's finest playwright, poet, director, actor, clown... | ||
| Everyone's most beloved trickster! | ||
| ... Shadow Milk Cookie! | ||
| Applause, applause! | ||
|
|
Wooow! | |
|
|
KYAAA! |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Why thank you, thank you! Awww, you're too kind! |
|
| How can I repay such kindness? Ah, of course! I have prepared a spectacular new show for you to behold! | ||
| ... It is titled "The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes!" | ||
| Awww, thank you, thank you! Well then... | ||
| ... Let the show begin! | ||
| 04. The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes I | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
Huh! What is this?! A huge stage is blocking our path! |
|
|
|
What is he planning to do...?! |
|
 |
||
| And if any of you is offended by this innocent play, please... accept my humblest, deepest apologies! | ||
| Believe me, it was never my intention to cause dismay! Only to entertain! | ||
| So please, don't cry! Don't get upset! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| The story is a product of imagination! All characters, unreal! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| And if you see yourself in one of them? Well... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| ... IT'S BUT A SAD COINCIDENCE! Eh he he he he he! | ||
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Now...! Once upon a time, there lived a strong, but foolish, oh so foolish king! |
|
| And beyond measure was he arrogant! And yet... Deep down, he envied all who were stronger than him! | ||
 Fool King |
"No Cookies may be stronger than me!" | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
But who did the king envy the most of all, you ask? | |
| The Five Cookies, so radiant, so glorious! Chosen by the gods themselves! | ||
| ||
|
Fool King |
Hmph!!! | |
| And so he waited, the Fool-King, waited for a perfect moment to take them down in one fell swoop...! |
Shadow Milk Cookie | |
| ||
 |
What was that?! | |
|
|
What did we just watch...?! |
|
|
GingerBrave |
That story... It was similar but different from the one we were told, right?! |
|
|
|
He made the Faerie King look really bad... |
|
 |
It's all a lie! There's no way that His Majesty protected the seal for such selfish reasons... |
|
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie is the Cookie of Deceit. Of course he's full of lies! |
Wizard Cookie |
 White Lily Cookie |
He's not simply making up obvious lies, but weaving in threads of truth to his story... |
|
| Cookies, chosen by the gods themselves... | ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie is the one who plunged the world into confusion and chaos. |
|
| Do not pay any attention to his lies. For his powers... may lead you astray. | ||
|
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
And then, one day, the perfect opportunity presented itself to the foolish king! | |
| And the selfish, cruel, but oh so so foolish king punished the Five Great Cookies according to his own whim! | ||
| ||
|
| ||
| ||
|
Fool King |
Hooray! | |
| "Now I will protect this tree! For no Cookie stronger than me may exist in this world!" | ||
| And so the Fool-King protected his tree, so proud with himself! |
Shadow Milk Cookie | |
|
Fool King |
Ha ha ha! | |
| And as foolish as he was... |
Shadow Milk Cookie | |
| ... the king believed it would last forever! | ||
|
| ||
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
...... | |
|
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you alright? |
 GingerBrave |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
... Yes, don't worry about me. |
|
|
|
Tell me... What did Shadow Milk Cookie tell you earlier...? |
White Lily Cookie |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
He... disguised himself as the Light of Truth. and spoke to me from the Dark Side of the Moon... |
|
|
|
He did what?! |
 GingerBrave |
|
Wizard Cookie |
And you... didn't fall for his lies, did you?! |
|
|
|
Only later did I realize it, when he revealed himself... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| I realized that my power and his... They are like two sides of the same Coin... What do I do? |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Yes, of all Cookies, you who wield the Light of Truth must be in great dismay. |
|
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
But do not fall for Shadow Milk Cookie's tricks. After all, it is his purpose to sow chaos and confusion with his lies. | |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Now is the time to focus on your own voice, not the voice of Deceit. | |
|
|
Elder Faerie is right, Pure Vanilla Cookie! If we don't stop Shadow Milk Cookie, things will get even worse...! |
White Lily Cookie |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I understand, White Lily Cookie...! |
|
|
|
More of them are approaching...! |
 Mercurial Knight Cookie |
| Your Majesty, are you unharmed...?! | ||
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
I am fine. It is my duty to fight until I am no longer able... |
|
| 05. The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes II | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
Now, where were we? | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Aaaah, yes! The Fool-King was indeed so proud, so full of himself! He foolishly celebrated his victory over and over again. | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
But then... a particularly wise Cookie, who had seen the truth of this world, appeared in his kingdom. | |
| ||
 Smart Cookie |
And she said, "I've seen the truth of this world! It needs the strength of the Five Great Cookies to exist!" |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| Huh?! That's the wrong puppet! Get the right one! | ||
| ||
 Smart Cookie |
"I've seen the truth of this world! It needs the strength of the Five Great Cookies to exist!" |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| Oh! What do you know! Seems like it's the same Cookie after all? | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| He he he!!! Sometimes it's difficult to tell them apart! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Apologies, apologies! A little bit of perfectionism is needed for a perfect show! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Anyways, let us continue! | ||
|
Smart Cookie |
I shall return your souls to this world... | |
| "And when you return... I shall prepare doughy bodies full of life for you." | ||
| "On the day you all regain your powers of years gone by... The world will be restored to the way it should be..." | ||
| Said the wise Cookie, making a promise to the Five Great Cookies. |
Shadow Milk Cookie | |
| ... and finally...! | ||
| ||
|
| ||
|
|
Huh? Was that... That was Dark Enchantress Cookie just now! | |
|
|
Just how much of this story can we trust...? |
|
|
|
If any of his words hold at least a shred of truth... |
|
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
It means that Dark Enchantress Cookie's schemes were much grander and even more far-reaching than we thought...! | |
|
|
But... Like Strawberry Cookie said, there is no way of telling how much of this we can really trust. |
|
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Indeed, there isn't. That is the problem. |
|
|
|
I wonder... I wonder if Dark Enchantress is planning to bake living yet hollow Cookie shells for the Beasts...? |
|
|
|
Cookie shells...? As in "living Cookies"?! Is that even possible?! |
|
|
|
... it might just be... |
White Lily Cookie |
| ...... | ||
| For when I went to the Witches' Banquet... I found out the way to do so... | ||
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
My dearest audience! Are you ready for the next act...? | |
|
|
We don't want to hear anymore! |
GingerBrave |
| Stop hiding behind these lies and face us head on! | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie |
...... |
|
| Could it be... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
... that you're just crumbling to see the scene where I finally make my appearance?! | |
|
|
Stop twisting our words! |
Wizard Cookie |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
The star of the show always appears at the climax! |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Ah, make yourselves comfortable! For the highlight of this marvelous play is... coming up! | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
It'll be worth it! I promise...! | |
|
Strawberry Cookie |
Ah... he disappeared again...! | |
|
|
Let's follow him, quickly...! |
White Lily Cookie |
| 06. The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes III | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
... The Fool-King was losing his butter from anger! You see, his beloved tree was now cracked! |
|
| AAAGH! How could this happen?! |
Fool King | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
You see, while the Fool-King was so "busy" with his tree, a certain Cookie was making preparations to face him in battle. |
|
| A Cookie so dignified, sophisticated, and— not to mention—extremely handsome... | ||
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
ME! Shadow Milk Cookie! | |
| Shadow Milk Cookie couldn't forgive the foolish king for how unjustly he treated the Five Great Cookies! | ||
| And so... | ||
| ... He decided to dispose of the foolish King and save his comrades! | ||
| 07. Fate of the Fool-King | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie versus the Fool-King! The awakening of our great hero brings us to the grand finale! |
|
| What brings us the long-awaited payoff? | ||
| Ooh, I see the audience grows impatient...! How about a teeny-tiny sneak peek? | ||
| Well, don't expect the foolish king to win! AH HA HA HA HA HA! | ||
|
|
No way! Surely the Fool-King is gonna win! |
|
|
|
... It's "Elder Faerie," GingerBrave...! |
 |
|
GingerBrave |
Oh! Shadow Milk Cookie, you almost got me! |
|
|
|
... Do not listen to the words tarred by Deceit, GingerBrave. |
|
 |
His lies are much more powerful than I thought... |
|
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Ah! There you are! The star of the day! | |
| Everyone, give a warm round of applause! | ||
|
|
I will not show a shred of mercy to you. I shall use every bit of strength I have left... |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
| ... to drive you back into the depths, you spawn of evil! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Ooooh! You wish to join me on the stage? ... I should give you a most cordial welcome! |
|
| ||
|
GingerBrave |
Hah... eugh... Our attacks are of no use! |
|
|
|
Your Majesty. Are you unharmed? |
|
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Eugh... I am fine. There is no other way... |
|
|
|
Is this... the power of ancient evil from the legends...? |
 |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
White Lily Cookie, Pure Vanilla Cookie. Please hold on a little longer to buy us some time. |
|
| Meanwhile, I shall prepare my final attack. One that uses all of my remaining strength as a Guardian... | ||
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
... It has been quite a while... since I've used my power like this. | |
 Elder Faerie Cookie |
This may just be... my final battle. | |
| ||
| ||
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
ARGH...! | |
|
|
YOUR MAJESTY!!! |
 |
|
White Lily Cookie |
I'll block the attacks! It's time for the final blow...! | |
|
|
I must... fulfill... my duty... And... I am... taking you... with me...! |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
You... you... you...! You little... pathetic! | |
| FLYING LITTLE PEST!!!!!!!! | ||
| ||
 Wizard Cookie |
It's... unlike anything I've ever seen! | |
|
|
The last attack... The full strength of the Guardian... |
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
|
|
To witness the true power of the Guardian of the Seal...! |
|
|
|
But that means His Majesty's remaining life force... |
 Mercurial Knight Cookie |
 GingerBrave |
Is Shadow Milk Cookie finally defeated?! |
|
|
|
Not... quite... I merely... bought us some... time... |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
| Thud-! | ||
|
Silverbell Cookie |
YOUR MAJESTY!!!! | |
|
|
......! |
 White Lily Cookie |
 Elder Faerie Cookie |
White Lily... Cookie... |
|
| Come... | ||
| ||
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
And... listen...! *cough* | |
|
|
Your Majesty... |
White Lily Cookie |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
If... If I'm no more... And the Guardian's power disappears from the world... |
|
| The seal... will be undone. | ||
| Even I... Do not know... how much strength... I have left... | ||
| So please... Receive the remainder... of the Guardian's power... | ||
|
|
Your Majesty, no...! You must recover...! |
 White Lily Cookie |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
*Cough! Cough!!!* |
|
| There's no... time... Without... the Silver Tree... | ||
| The world... we have dreamed of... | ||
|
|
But I... am a Cookie with only half a life... |
White Lily Cookie |
| Besides, this is all... my fault! | ||
 Elder Faerie Cookie |
Do not cry... White Lily Cookie... |
|
| I remember when... you left... for the Witches' Banquet... | ||
| You were so stubborn... There was no way... of stopping you. | ||
| Remember... That Cookie... Who was so determined... to save the world... | ||
| Is the same Cookie... I am looking at right now... | ||
| I never... doubted that we... were fighting for the same thing... | ||
| You are the only one... Who can continue my legacy... | ||
| ... Only you... | ||
| ||
| ||
 White Lily Cookie |
... Elder Faerie... | |
| Yes, Your Majesty... I accept your order... | ||
| ||
| 08. Rise and Fall | ||

|
|
HA HA HA HA!!! No matter what you do, the ending stays the same! |
|
| Looks like the show is over for our little Guardian! | ||
| HA HA HA HA HA!!! | ||
|
|
That voice!!! | |
|
|
He's still here somewhere...! |
|
|
|
I cannot forgive this... |
|
|
|
White Lily Cookie...? |
|
|
White Lily Cookie |
I will bring him down... no matter what it takes...! |
|
| ||
|
|
||
| Now that the strength of the seal is gone...! It is time...! AWAKEN! | ||

|
|
Our beautiful kingdom... |
Silverbell Cookie |
|
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
... Has become hell on Earthbread... |
|
|
|
What happened?! Did he let all the Beasts free?! |
 |
 White Lily Cookie |
Not yet. |
|
| For part of the Guardian's power... Remains with me. | ||
|
|
But the Silver Tree...! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
|
Light of Truth...? |
Pure Vanilla Cookie... Pure Vanilla Cookie...! |
|
| Show me your strength...! | ||
| The Silver Tree's strength is all gone, don't you see...?! All you need to do is cut it down for good...! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
No... This voice within me... it isn't me...!!! |
|
|
|
Cut down the tree... Cut it down with your own hands... |
Light of Truth...? |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
No... GET OUT OF MY HEAD! |
|
|
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie...! Are you okay...? |
Strawberry Cookie |
|
GingerBrave |
What's wrong, Pure Vanilla Cookie?! |
|
|
|
...... |
White Lily Cookie |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| What's happening... Why am I not regaining my power...? | ||
| The Guardian is gone... So why is the blasted tree still standing? | ||
| Why doesn't Pure Vanilla Cookie... obey?! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| ...!!!!!!!! | ||
| YOU!!!!! | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |

Shadow Milk Cookie |
|
| I'M GROWING TIRED OF YOUR PATHETIC CHARADES! THE GUARDIAN LIVES?! WHERE IS HE?! | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
|
|
| ... She. | ||
| ... For I, the Guardian of the Seal, stand right before you! | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
| |
| ... Did you think it was going to be that easy? | ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
|
| AAAARGHHH!!! You little pest...! I will destroy you!!! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| ...... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Heh... He he he he! Little Cookie... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| And with only half a life! Hanging by a thread, are we, mm? | ||
| And yet the old fool trusted you with his power?! You, of all Cookies? Knowing that you might turn to Darkness once again...? | ||
| Now now, it's not my place to complain! On the contrary, such IDIOCY is more than welcome! Mhe he he! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Well then... This is no reason to waste this amazing stage of mine... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| ... So how about a little quiz show? | ||
| 09. Act 2 Begins | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
|
| ||
|
| ||
|
|
Everyone, THE SHOW GOES ON! Your favorite host is back, alive and well! |
|
| Alas, since a certain Cookie refused to play their role and stick to the script... | ||
| ... our grand finale turned out a little different than planned! | ||
| Ah, divas, am I right?! We cannot delay this any longer as the show must go on! | ||
| But what is a disaster if not an opportunity! Thanks to this, you're in for even more ENTERTAINMENT! | ||
| Well then, let's begin... | ||
| "The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes," Part Two! Only this time around, we'll need a little help from the audience! | ||
|
| ||
|
|
Ugh! Is there really nothing to make him stop talking?! | |
|
|
White Lily Cookie... Surely he will go after you this time! |
|
|
|
... I know. |
|
|
|
It is my duty to protect the Guardian of the Seal... |
|
| ... I swear to be your protector from this day on, as I was for His Majesty, Elder Faerie. | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
... I'm truly honored. |
|
|
White Lily Cookie |
We're not going to just stand back and do nothing. | |
|
White Lily Cookie |
Pure Vanilla Cookie. | |
|
|
... Y-Yes? |
|
|
White Lily Cookie |
Shadow Milk Cookie is tormenting you, isn't he? |
|
|
|
Yes... I cannot tell what the real voice of the Light of Truth is anymore... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
|
White Lily Cookie |
If you feel like you cannot trust the voice within you... |
|
| ... Listen to my voice instead. Can you do that for me? | ||
|
|
... White Lily Cookie... |
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| ... Yes, I will! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
|
White Lily Cookie |
Everyone, let's fight together... For all Cookiekind! |
|
| I will continue... His Majesty's legacy... | ||
| 10. The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes IV | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
|
|
So! | |
| You all remember the Fool-King who arrogantly thought he'd be able to stop the Five Great Cookies! | ||
| Thing is... He wasn't alone in his foolishness! *scoff* Allow me to introduce the False Heroes who were even more foolish to follow him! | ||
| Those False Heroes were nothing more than petty thieves. They stole the powers of the Five Great Cookies, who had been sealed away so unjustly, and used these powers at whim! | ||
| ||
 |
Any conflict can be resolved through conversations. | |
| ||
 |
Hmm. | |
| ||
 |
Raise your cup! | |
| ||
 |
All that glitters... belongs to me. | |
| ||
|
|
Cookies... So fragile... |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Now, for the first question! | |
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Out of these False Heroes, which one is only half a Cookie? |
|
| Choose your answer carefully and don't forget: time is ticking! | ||
 White Lily Cookie |
Half... a Cookie...? | |
|
White Lily Cookie |
He must mean... | |
|
|
White Lily Cookie, don't pay it too much thought! |
|
|
|
That's right! He's messing with you...! |
|
|
|
I'm sure it's a trick question anyway. |
|
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| Now, now, nooow! You've had plenty of time to think... Your final answer...? | ||
 GingerBrave |
|
|
| None of them! | ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
|
| WRONG!!! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Let the punishment ensue! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Now... Who wants to be crumbled first? | ||
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
|
|
| The right answer is... | ||
| All of them. | ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
|
| ...... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| RING DING DING!!! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| Did you hear that?! A correct response from our sharp audience! My my, I'll let you advance to the next round! | ||
|
|
How did you know...? | |
|
|
Of the powers of the original Five Cookies... Only the purest, uncorrupted fragments were remade into our Soul Jam. |
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| Which means, to Shadow Milk Cookie, all of us are merely halves... | ||
|
|
... Well deduced. |
|
|
|
...... |
White Lily Cookie |
| 11. The Fool-King and His Foolish Heroes V | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
|
|
NEXT QUESTION! | |
| Oh, I love it, it's about me! Please, do your best to get it right this time! | ||
| And if you don't... | ||
| ... you, of course, will be punished! | ||
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Out of these three Cookies... Who is the biggest liar? |
|
| Remember, your time is running out! So don't think for too long! | ||
| ||
|
|
This is easy! It's Shadow Milk Cookie, who else! |
|
|
|
Oh no, that's... too easy... |
|
|
|
The biggest... liar... |
|
|
Light of Truth...? |
Well well well! | |
| Have you tried... being honest with yourself for once, mm? | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
...! | |
|
|
... Pure Vanilla Cookie. Come on. We must persevere! |
|
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
... Yes...! |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| Well then, are you ready? What's your answer? | ||
|
Wizard Cookie |
|
|
| Come on, just repeat after me! "Shadow..." | ||
|
|
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| The biggest liar is... me, Pure Vanilla Cookie. | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
|
|
| ...!!! | ||
|
|
|
|
| Pure Vanilla Cookie, what are you saying?! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
|
|
| ... It's correct, isn't it? | ||
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | |
| Unbelievable! You got it right again! RING DING DING!!! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| That Pure Vanilla Cookie knows his thing! I'm impressed, I must say! | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
||
| ... Indeed, what is pure, unquestionable truth if not deceit...? | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie | ||
| A Hero pretending to hold the power of Truth? That's gotta be the worst liar of all! HE HE HE! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
...... | |
|
|
Why... Why do you keep going after Pure Vanilla Cookie? |
White Lily Cookie |
| I am your target! The Guardian of the Seal! Just focus on me...! |
White Lily Cookie | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Oh please, spare me such silly questions! |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Pure Vanilla Cookie IS your weak spot after all! | |
| Look at you, half-a-Cookie, ridden with guilt and unresolved emotions! | ||
| Do you really believe you're in the right to wield the power of the Guardian? HA HA HA HA! | ||
|
|
...!!! |
White Lily Cookie |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
But patience! We will get to you soon enough! |
|
| For our last question... It's all about you! | ||
| 12. The Guardian's Decision | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
As saddening as it can be, we've reached the last round! | |
| And since it's the last question, you get twice the amount of points! | ||
| There are POINTS now?! |
| |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
This one is purely for White Lily Cookie! Pay attention, here it comes...! |
|
| You sure seem proud of your new title of "the Guardian of the Seal..." | ||
| ... Let's see how great you really are...! | ||
| ||
|
|
Ah...! | |
|
|
Let go! |
 |
|
|
Kyaa...! |
|
|
|
EUAAAH!!! |
 Wizard Cookie |
|
|
...!!! | |
|
|
Everyone!!! |
|
|
|
...!!! |
|
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Now, for the final question! | |
| What will the new Guardian of the Seal choose... ... Saving her friends or defeating Shadow Milk Cookie?! | ||
| The correct answer is... Well, why don't you come on stage and see it for yourself?! | ||
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
A warm round of applause for our new star, please! | |
|
White Lily Cookie |
Everyone...! | |
|
|
White Lily Cookie...! If you wish to save your friends, you will need to use the power of the Guardian...! |
Silverbell Cookie |
|
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
But to do that, you must unleash it all, just as His Majesty did. |
|
| Even if you manage to save your friends...
It might leave you with no more strength to fight. | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
The rules couldn't be simpler! The moment you make a move to attack me, Shadow Milk Cookie... |
|
| The necks of your precious little friends... will crumble to dust! | ||
| On the other hand, should you decide to free your friends, they will be saved immediately. | ||
| But, alas! Their lives will come... at a cost to you! Heh! | ||
 White Lily Cookie |
What to do... I must decide. | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
A tough decision indeed! And only one chance to use the Guardian's power right. What will it be...? |
|
| ... Let's wait and see! | ||
| ||
|
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
Eugh...! | |
|
|
The combined strength of us three isn't enough...! |
Silverbell Cookie |
| White Lily Cookie...! Whatever you choose, we trust you! | ||
| Please, use your power...! | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
I... |
|
|
White Lily Cookie |
I...! | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
Mmm...? Tiiime! | |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
White... Lily... Coo... kie...! Fight... Shadow Milk... Cookie...! |
|
| Euugh...! | ||
| ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
Your Majesty...! | |
|
|
White Lily Cookie... |
 |
|
White Lily Cookie |
I can't... choose... |
|
| You passed on your powers to me so that I could protect the seal and fight the Beasts... | ||
| But, even so... How can I leave my friends behind? Friends who have trusted me despite everything... | ||
| I'm not worthy of such power... For I'm not ready to sacrifice everything I know... | ||
|
|
White Lily Cookie. |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
| Do not forget this. | ||
| Your dream was to build a better world. Can such a world exist without your dear friends? | ||
| A heart that beats for all Cookiekind... Is a heart that beats for one's friends. | ||
| If you have not forgotten that... You shall find the right answer already lies within you. | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
A heart that beats for one's friends... is a heart... that beats for all Cookiekind... |
|
|
|
Only you can do it. So please... |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
| Trust in your power, my power. | ||
| ||
|
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
......! | |
 White Lily Cookie |
||
| ...... | ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
|
|
| Oooh, finally! I see you've made up your mind! | ||
|
|
Silverbell Cookie | |
| ......!!! White Lily Cookie...?! | ||
|
Mercurial Knight Cookie |
|
|
| That power...!!! | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
||
| ...... | ||
 White Lily Cookie | ||
| ... | ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
You... YOU...!!!! | |
| I gave you only two choices...!!! | ||
 Shadow Milk Cookie |
...!!! | |
| How dare you ruin... This moment I've been waiting for for so long... | ||
| Eugh... Agh... | ||
| ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!! | ||
|
| ||
| 13. A Heart that beats for all Cookiekind | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Shadow Milk Cookie's other-realm that covered the Faerie Kingdom is receding...! | |
| What a relief... | ||
|
|
White Lily Cookie!!! |
 |
 |
Thank you so much...! |
|
|
|
It felt like the Faerie King had returned for a moment there. |
|
|
|
White Lily Cookie...... |
|
|
|
Guardian of the Seal. Let us defeat the remaining spawns of evil, and take back the Faerie Kingdom. |
 |
 |
Has everyone returned to their senses? |
|
|
|
Let's go. |
White Lily Cookie |
| ||
|
|
You think you won, don't you?! | |
| HUH?! How are you still talking?! |
Wizard Cookie | |
|
Shadow Milk Cookie |
You may be celebrating your little victory for now... | |
| ... But heed my words! We have finally risen. Do not think that you can hold us back. | ||
| Foolish Cookies...! You simply have no idea what's waiting for you...! HA HA HA HA HA! | ||
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
...... | |
|
|
...... |
White Lily Cookie |
| ||
|
GingerBrave |
Phew! Finally, everything is back to normal! | |
|
|
White Lily Cookie, thank you... so much. |
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
...... | |
| I did it... | ||
| Thank you... For giving me the strength to protect my friends... | ||
 Strawberry Cookie |
Look at all these Cookies...! | |
|
|
Faerie Cookies! |
Wizard Cookie |
 |
Guardian...! You've saved our kingdom...! |
|
|
|
All hail the Savior! |
 |
| ||
 Silverbell Cookie |
All hail the Savior...! | |
|
|
...... |
 Mercurial Knight Cookie |
|
White Lily Cookie |
...... |
|
 White Lily Cookie |
I did it...! I managed to save everyone...! | |
| 14. Fated Path | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
...... | |
|
|
Is there something bothering you...? |
|
|
|
White Lily Cookie!!! |
|
|
|
The Faerie Cookies have prepared a feast. |
|
 |
To honor the late Elder Faerie, they say. |
|
|
|
But also to honor the Guardian of the Seal who protected the Faerie Kingdom! You, White Lily Cookie! |
 GingerBrave |
 White Lily Cookie |
... Ha ha... |
|
|
|
Let's go celebrate together! We totally deserve it! |
GingerBrave |
|
White Lily Cookie |
But... What's that on your head? |
|
|
|
GAAAH! You! |
GingerBrave |
 |
Carameleon Cookie, at your service! You won't find a better pathfinder in all the land of Beast-Yeast! |
|
|
|
Wow, you managed to stay hidden throughout this whole thing! Pretty impressive, if I do say so myself! |
Wizard Cookie |
 Carameleon Cookie |
Of course! I'm telling you, there's no Cookie as adept at survival as me! |
|
|
|
Ha ha ha! You're really something! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
|
Carameleon Cookie |
But! I'd better run! Tasty food at the feast won't last forever! |
|
|
|
Ah... what a cheat... |
Strawberry Cookie |
|
Wizard Cookie |
That won't do! |
|
|
|
Wait for me! |
GingerBrave |
|
White Lily Cookie |
Pure Vanilla Cookie... | |
|
White Lily Cookie |
I can't forget Shadow Milk Cookie's last words... | |
| ... Do you really think... That all the Beasts have awoken...? | ||
|
|
... Shadow Milk Cookie's lies... always have a grain of truth in them. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| His last words sounded like a warning to us... Perhaps, they were truthful after all. | ||
| I came all the way here searching for Dark Enchantress Cookie... I never thought I'd meet an even worse enemy. | ||
| We must find a way to contact Crispia. | ||
| Others must hear of what happened as quickly as possible. Cookies of the Republic and the Heroes will be waiting for news... | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
... Pure Vanilla Cookie. |
|
| Thank you, for everything! | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
Ever since we were students... You've always protected me and believed in me... | |
| Even though I was always caught up in my own world... And causing problems for my friends... | ||
|
|
Everything is fine now, White Lily Cookie. |
 Pure Vanilla Cookie |
| After all, we're fighting for the same thing. | ||
| For the good of all Cookiekind. Together. | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
... Yes. |
|
|
White Lily Cookie |
New, vicious enemies... And Dark Enchantress Cookie, trying to exploit those evil forces... | |
| ... We'll stop them. I'm sure of it. | ||
|
White Lily Cookie |
||
| Even if it ruins me... | ||
| ||
