“ The lies of the past will BURN and the world will be REBUILT ANEW! „
Now having entered the Vanilla Castle, GingerBrave & friends hope to put an end to Dark Enchantress Cookie's plot. But there's much to overcome along the way: Cake Monsters roam the halls and prepare a crimson feast, and echoes of the Dark Flour War, trapped in a time loop, continuously relive that terrible final day. Dark Enchantress Cookie's followers have all gathered together to finally collect the Soul Jams—even if Pure Vanilla Cookie himself were to appear, it may not be enough to stop them.
01. At The Doorstep | ||
---|---|---|
TA-DA! Your king has FINALLY made his return! |
||
Soon, we'll hear the trumpets to celebrate my return! ... Any moment now! | ||
Where were their magical experiments conducted? I want to see the Essence of White Magic! |
Wizard Cookie | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
BUP-BUP-BUP! Not so fast! Our first stop has to be the treasury! |
|
There's... something wrong about this place. | Strawberry Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
What is all this— The whole place is covered in Cookie crumbs! |
|
AAAGH! My legs... MY LEGS! I can't feel my legs...! |
Soldier Cookie 1 | |
Soldier Cookie 2 |
Hang in there, soldier! If you fall here, our kingdom will...! |
|
Impossible... | Healer Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Those Cookies are hurt! They need our help, and fast! |
02. Frozen in Time | ||
---|---|---|
Well, lookie lookie! We clean up rather well, I'd say! |
||
*Huff puff* The wound won't stop crumbling! |
Soldier Cookie 1 | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Uh, HELLO? We just saved you guys? |
|
We don't have much time... Your Majesty! Pure Vanilla Cookie, please hurry! |
Soldier Cookie 2 | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
What're they blabberin' on about? | |
Worry not! Your king is here! Can you not see the king of the Vanilla Kingdom before you? |
Custard Cookie III | |
Wizard Cookie |
Hang on... I don't think they can see us. |
|
Wizard Cookie |
I sense the lingering vestiges of magic here... It's a sign of a rather powerful spell. | |
Wizard Cookie |
Whoever cast this spell chose this very moment in time and decided to replay the events of this day over and over again... | |
In short, these are just illusions of the past. We can't talk to them, nor can they talk to us. | ||
When exactly was the Vanilla Castle attacked...? | Strawberry Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
The Dark Flour War...
On the day the war began. |
|
Whoa now, hang on. That's a really long time ago! Not even preservatives last that long! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
Dark Enchantress Cookie is the one who sparked the Dark Flour War. She must be the one who conjured this spell. |
|
Wizard Cookie |
We need to defeat Dark Enchantress Cookie in order to restore the castle's flow of time! | |
Sounds like it's time for more slashin'! Let's get this over with! |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
03. Deliciously Evil Banquet | ||
---|---|---|
Wizard Cookie |
Phew! These sponge brains are everywhere! That last bout was close... I almost lost my hat! |
|
... Hmm. | Esterházy | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Oi! Stop staring at us! Hey, wait a second... You look like that Choco Werehound Brute! |
|
I have been awaiting your arrival, Cookies. | Esterházy | |
Please follow me. Your presence is requested elsewhere. | ||
GingerBrave |
What're you up to?! | |
One of great power awaits you. If you would, please... This way. |
Esterházy | |
Custard Cookie III |
Look at all this FOOD! Roasted Jellies, Jelly burgers, Jelly pizza! They EVEN have Jelly steaks! |
|
This is a feast fit for a king! And rightly so, as their king has returned, he he! | ||
Welcome, GingerBrave and friends. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Dark Enchantress Cookie! | |
GingerBrave |
We're not gonna be swayed by some food! | |
C'mon! Let's take our seats! The Jellies are getting cold! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Hey! Aren't you a little TOO excited?! | |
May I help you with your belongings? | Esterházy | |
Custard Cookie III |
A grand idea! Here, hold my crown and scepter. Try not to get them wrinkled. |
|
Very well, sir. As for everyone else... If you would please take your seats? |
Esterházy | |
Licorice Cookie |
Hurry up and sit down! Do not keep Dark Enchantress Cookie waiting! |
|
As I promised... I have been waiting at the top of a new world. You are the first Cookies to pass the gates— the first to be PERSONALLY welcomed into my fold. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Come... Take a seat. Let us have a heart-to-heart discussion. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
Oh! So, like, can we ask you anything? | |
Custard Cookie III |
Cause, I've been dying to know! How did you train the Cake Monsters? I want one as well! | |
I merely looked upon them. | Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Custard Cookie III |
Oooh!
So it's an eye-contact thing! |
|
But before we progress any further... I have a question for you, our "esteemed" guests. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Do you know the reason why we, Cookies, were created? | ||
Custard Cookie III |
Nope! | |
Me neither! But I know I was baked with a particular set of skills! Heh! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
How predictable. Pathetic. |
|
And you call yourselves COOKIES! What an absolute waste of perfectly fine dough! | ||
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
I'm wasting my breath with this conversation. Your crumbs will litter this table! | |
... STOP! | Healer Cookie | |
I can no longer stand by and watch you bring destruction! | ||
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
HA! And who might YOU be? What is it that YOU can do to stop ME? You're a dusty, ragged, and unnamed nobody! |
|
Yes... I have been hiding for far too long... But the time has come to stop out from the shadows. |
Healer Cookie | |
I will sacrifice everything to put an end to your schemes! | Healer Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
YOU...! | |
PURE VANILLA COOKIE?! | Wizard Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
HOLD MY CANE! Healer Cookie is Pure Vanilla Cookie?! |
|
Ah... It seems that an uninvited guest was among us. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Have you FINALLY realized how pathetic you are and have come to hand over your Soul Jam? | Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
I am here to confront you. We started this war. It only makes sense that we end it. |
|
HA HA HA HA! You have nothing but senseless courage! How amusing. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Tell me then... How do you plan to stop ME?
Did you think your ragged attire and worn expression would win my sympathy? |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
*Tsk* What a waste of a good banquet... Enough of this! |
|
How dare you ruin my Master's plan! Fate will not be on your side tonight! |
Pomegranate Cookie |
04. The Cakes' Cuisine | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
Healer Cookie! Wait, er... Should we call you Pure Vanilla Cookie now? |
|
I can’t believe you’ve been hiding your identity all this time! I should try that later as well... |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
My apologies. It was not my intent to conceal my identity. | |
Um, if you don’t mind me asking... What exactly happened? |
Wizard Cookie | |
Healer Cookie |
When Dark Enchantress Cookie was released from her confinement, I, too, awoke from a deep slumber. | |
And the memories came flooding back. The memory of me, a failed king and hero who could not protect the Cookies of his kingdom. | ||
Healer Cookie |
But after our fateful meeting, I remembered something else: With my friends, I could overcome any impossible difficulty. | |
Which is why I refuse to give up! I will stand against Dark Enchantress Cookie, and I will not back down! | ||
That’s the spirit! Let’s bring down Dark Enchantress Cookie and save the Vanilla Kingdom together! |
GingerBrave | |
Custard Cookie III |
And I’ll inherit the throne, ruling the kingdom with just a hand! | |
Custard Cookie III |
Make sure you watch what this future king is truly capable of! Ha ha ha! Onward! | |
Do you think these Cake Monsters work in the kitchens...? | Strawberry Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Then... were they the ones that cooked up all that food from the banquet earlier? | |
Indeed! They are the finest chefs on Earthbread. Truly top-notch. |
Esterházy | |
Custard Cookie III |
Everything was super yummy! Was there a secret recipe? |
|
Ah, but of course! As esteemed chefs, they all have their own visions. Each dish contains a rather “special” portion of Cake Monsters. |
Esterházy | |
Custard Cookie III |
Erm... I think I’m gonna be sick... |
05. Solarium of Unity | ||
---|---|---|
Strawberry Cookie |
Wow... It’s beautiful...! |
|
Five Ancient heroes, depicted on the glass itself! And look! Pure Vanilla Cookie, that’s you right? |
GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
When the Vanilla Kingdom was established, my friends and I swore an oath, right here in the Solarium of Unity... | |
Our soft and crispy hearts, beating as one... In the pursuit of peace and happiness for All Cookies. | ||
Do you know where the others are? | GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
I... do not know what has transpired to them after the Dark Flour War... | |
This is all due to my failures. I could not protect my kingdom. I could not even protect my dearest friend... | ||
It’s still too early to start worrying! They’re great heroes, so I’m sure they’re around somewhere! |
GingerBrave | |
Healer Cookie |
Your words bring courage to my heart. | |
I look forward to meeting my friends again. I pray they are all safe, as healthy and bright as their likenesses seen here. |
06. Crowded Hallway | ||
---|---|---|
Vanillian Cookie 1 |
Terrible news! Such HORRID, awful news! WAR! War is upon us! |
|
I heard Dark Enchantress Cookie started the war! ... Who is Dark Enchantress Cookie, anyway? |
Vanillian Cookie 2 | |
Vanillian Cookie 3 |
Now’s not the time for a debate! We need to leave this place. And quickly! |
|
There’s an airship waiting under the castle! Younger and softer Cookies on board first! Go! | ||
Let’s hurry! | Vanillian Cookie 2 | |
Vanillian Cookie 1 |
Ack! Ow! Stop pushing! |
|
What a mess! | Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
No doubt about it... Time is twisted in this area. Powerful magic of this sort is usually fueled by resentment or obsession... |
|
Most likely the resentment of Dark Enchantress Cookie. | Healer Cookie | |
Having been trapped within the Vanilla Kingdom for ages, she has been reliving the mistakes of her past, over and over... | ||
Chili Pepper Cookie |
I get it! It’s like that dream I have, when I give those pesky cops a taste of my Chili Peppers again and again! |
|
I don’t think it’s like that at all... | Strawberry Cookie |
07. Broken Unity | ||
---|---|---|
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
Cacophony has returned to this cursed castle... | |
... No. Perhaps the source of this cacophony is from within my heart. | ||
Dark Enchantress Cookie. With your permission, may I approach? |
Pomegranate Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
Pomegranate Cookie. You may approach. |
|
Forgive me for intruding, but you look troubled. Is something on your mind? |
Pomegranate Cookie | |
Are you... reminiscing on that fateful night? | Pomegranate Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
*Smirk...* My dear Pomegranate Cookie. Fooling you has proved to be more difficult than conquering Earthbread. |
|
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
You are aware that I have abandoned my past. I no longer need apparitions or illusions. | |
As a fresh Cookie, I’ve always pondered why Cookies were baked. We were much too crispy to have been created by divine grace. | ||
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
I was relentless in my pursuit for the truth. But when all means were exhausted and hope dimmed... | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
I learned of that fateful night: The Night of the Witches, held once every thousand years. | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
That night changed EVERYTHING. The world around me, the world I knew... And even my very DOUGH. | |
I understand the shock and horror of that night... | Pomegranate Cookie | |
And I understand your tempestuous thoughts when it comes to... Pure Vanilla Cookie. |
Pomegranate Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
*Glare* Explain. |
|
As long as Pure Vanilla Cookie remains within these walls, the echos of the past will reverberate through the castle. | Pomegranate Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
And what is it you wish to address? That I, have become WEAK? |
|
No, your power radiates with the Darkness. I am humbly suggesting we get rid of him as soon as possible. He cannot hinder your glorious plans. |
Pomegranate Cookie | |
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
Ha... ha ha... HA HA HA! A valid observation, my faithful Pomegranate Cookie. |
|
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
The seal has been broken. The kingdom is OURS. And White Lily Cookie is NO MORE! Once I collect all the scattered Soul Jam, MY PLAN WILL BE COMPLETE! |
|
Yes... The time is nigh. The lies of the past will BURN and the world will be REBUILT ANEW! |
08. Blessed Day | ||
---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
Hey! Isn’t that Pure Vanilla Cookie? | |
Ah, the chapel. Many a day I spent here, praying in these quiet halls. And this scene before us is... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
Priest Cookie |
On this historic day, our sovereign, Pure Vanilla Cookie, has declared the founding of the Vanilla Kingdom. | |
Is that... LOOK! It’s White Lily Cookie! |
Custard Cookie III | |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Sshhh! Be quiet! I can’t hear them! |
|
White Lily Cookie, you made it! Thank you for coming. It is the first time we’ve met ever since the academy, isn’t it? |
Echo of Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
Echo of White Lily Cookie |
My apologies... I wanted to be here sooner. I had to... repent, but you know the details. |
|
Echo of White Lily Cookie |
It took a rather long time to apologize to everyone... | |
Oh... Oh, of course... | Echo of Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
Erm... But I really am glad you made it. I am happy you’re here to share this day with me. |
Echo of Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
Echo of White Lily Cookie |
... Thank you. You are the only Cookie to have accepted me back... |
|
Your Majesty. May we proceed? |
Priest Cookie | |
Echo of Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Yes, all is ready. | |
In the name of the godly hands painting the sky, the mountain-like hats, and long shadows that grant us shade... | Priest Cookie | |
Today, the Vanilla Kingdom has taken its first step into the history of Earthbread. | ||
Blessings we beseech from the divines. May our kingdom bring everlasting peace and prosperity to all Cookies. | ||
May all who joined in this prayer remain crispy and fresh. | ||
Echo of Pure Vanilla Cookie |
May all who joined in this prayer remain crispy and fresh. | |
Wizard Cookie |
Oh... You probably didn’t want to relive this memory... |
|
It’s fine. In fact, it’s all the more reason that my decision to save this kingdom, our home, is truly the right path! | Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
I like the way you’re thinking, Pure Vanilla Cookie! Let’s get going and find a way to defeat Dark Enchantress Cookie! |
09. Three-Headed Puppy | ||
---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
BLECH! That’s a funny-looking pup! |
|
Grrr... | Cakeberus | |
Custard Cookie III |
Huh... This puppy has more than one head! |
|
Get out of our way! | ||
*Whimper* *Whimper* *Whimper* |
Cakeberus | |
Custard Cookie III |
Your king is also a great animal tender! He he! |
|
??? |
”A great animal tender?!” Animals are not some mindless toys for you to play! | |
What now?! Show yourself! |
GingerBrave | |
??? |
I do not answer to you, invaders! This castle doesn’t belong to you! Begone! |
|
*Whimper* *Whimper* *Whimper...* |
Cakeberus | |
??? |
Oh, my poor Cakeberus. Wait here while I teach these disrespectful invaders a lesson! | |
Hey! To be fair, it was THAT one that started snapping at us first! Er, wait, was it that head? No, it was that one! |
Chili Pepper Cookie | |
??? |
Spare me of your insults! Your fate is to become moldy and forgotten! Hah! |
|
*Whimper* *Whimper* *Whimper...* |
Cakeberus | |
??? |
Cakeberus! You poor thing! Are you in pain? |
|
You’re seriously injured! Come, I will treat your wounds at once! | ||
??? |
Fortune smiles upon you today, but do not think you will be so lucky next time! You shall witness the full extent of my might! | |
What on Earthbread was THAT?! | Chili Pepper Cookie | |
Wizard Cookie |
That crimson hand... means trouble. I hope we never see that Cookie ever again! |
10. Choices | ||
---|---|---|
Strawberry Cookie |
I wonder what Black Raisin Cookie is doing... She looked... sad when she left... |
|
Perhaps... she is feeling resentful towards me. | Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
But if I had not remained here, Dark Enchantress Cookie would have wrought havoc on the village in her attempt to steal my Soul Jam. | ||
Custard Cookie III |
I wouldn’t worry about Black Raisin Cookie! I’m sure she’ll understand! |
|
Let’s get her a gift after we beat Dark Enchantress Cookie! | GingerBrave | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
A splendid idea! | |
The villagers have long been without proper meals. We should bring them a feast of Jellies! | ||
It will make them so happy! |
11. The Greenhouse | ||
---|---|---|
Strawberry Cookie |
A greenhouse with... Oh, so many lilies! |
|
Wait... Lilies? | ||
White Lily Cookie?! | ||
Still distracted by these hopeless echos? | ||
Gaze upon me and prepare for oblivion’s embrace! ... For I am DARK ENCHANTRESS COOKIE! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I-I’m sorry... It’s just, this place reminded me of our secret garden. |
|
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Dark Enchantress Cookie, do you remember how we used to walk around in our garden, talking about how to better the future of Cookies? | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Tell me... Was this the so-called “bright” future you dreamed of? | |
Cookies fighting Cookies? Cookies bringing wanton destruction?! | ||
SILENCE! | Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
You cannot even BEGIN to fathom the atrocities I have witnessed that night! That night... the Night of the Witches! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
All of you HYPOCRITES! To hail yourselves as heroes and saviors, when you do not even realize our true nature, the true reason for our birth into this world! | ||
Only I can save all of Earthbread! Small sacrifices are inevitable on the path to peace! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Small sacrifices?! The loss of any life is an unnecessary tragedy! |
|
HA! Typical hypocrisy! You, who sacrificed yourself and the entire kingdom only to imprison me, has the audacity to say so?! |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I... I... | |
Your incessant facade of righteousness can go straight back to the Oven! | Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Even that cursed smile of yours, that very last smile, ALL OF IT! | Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Wait! Stop, please! | |
Whew! I thought another war would spark up, here and now...! | ||
Do kings always get into fights like this? If they do, then I almost don’t wanna become king! | ||
This quarrel is between us... But it seems that you have been dragged into it as well. I am very sorry. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
Don’t worry about it! After all, Cookies should help each other! |
||
GingerBrave |
You are not alone in this! | |
All of you... You have my deepest thanks! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
19. The Future of the Vanilla Kingdom | ||
---|---|---|
No... NO! But I was so close...! Soul Jam... within my grasp...! |
||
You FOOLISH crumb-for-brain pests! ’’’CRUMBLE! ALL OF YOU!’’’ | ||
NO! STOP! | ||
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
!!! | |
What? Huh? Wow, we’re still all in one piece! |
GingerBrave | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Is everyone alright? | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie! You protected us! |
||
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Thank goodness... | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I was able to protect everyone... this time... | |
No... This... cannot be. |
Dark Enchantress Cookie | |
My intricately crafted plan has gone to crumbs... Was it... meant to end this way...? | ||
Dark Enchantress Cookie... | ||
Though unfortunate... I shall guide you to safety... | ||
Are we too late?! OH! Pure Vanilla Cookie! You’re alright! |
||
Black Raisin Cookie... You have come to the aid of the Cookie who has betrayed your village. | Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
Well, I can’t say that I wasn’t angry before...! But I too would have had no choice but to leave. |
|
Black Raisin Cookie |
Congratulations, Pure Vanilla Cookie. The Vanilla Kingdom can now start rebuilding! Should I be calling you “king” now? | |
King... | Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
I have, in fact, been pondering about abdicating the throne. | Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
WHAAAT?! How can you say that?! |
||
I wish to make this place a kingdom belonging to all Cookies. A home for all, with no king or any subjects. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
A home for the Cookies of the desolate village... A haven for Cookies who have escaped the Oven. The true kingdom for all! | ||
Flavors, textures, none of this will matter. All will be welcome to live in happiness... Spending time at your village has opened my eyes. | ||
Black Raisin Cookie |
A noble cause. That’s why I love our village. We may be poor and hungry, but we always have each other’s backs. |
|
Black Raisin Cookie |
And actually... living here doesn’t seem too bad either! The villagers might finally get the chance to pursue their dreams. | |
Black Raisin Cookie |
What does everyone think? Should we try to build a new life here? | |
I’m good with a broom. I can clean up the streets. |
Villager Cookie 2 | |
Villager Cookie 3 |
Ooh! I like organizing things! Can I be in charge of recycling?! |
|
Excuse me... Pure Vanilla Cookie? Are you sure about this? The kingdom has just been returned to you... |
Wizard Cookie | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I have finally dawned upon the truth. We are all kings and heroes. |
|
Isn’t that what your kingdom looks like as well? | ||
He’s right! Our kingdom doesn’t have a king, but everyone worked together to build it from nothing! | GingerBrave | |
And that is the way! The way of us, Cookies! |
GingerBrave | |
Wizard Cookie |
Then... what’s your next move? | |
I’ve still a task at hand. I must find my friends. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
The Ancient heroes! | |
Yes. My closest friends... Together, we’ve been through thick and thin, and I... miss them greatly. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
I do, however, have a request to make. | ||
I can only wonder what happened to Dark Enchantress Cookie... What secret did she hold that I could not notice, despite having spent years beside her? | ||
What was it that she saw that twisted her very soul...? Can you find out what exactly drove her to this path? | ||
GingerBrave |
Sure thing! Leave it to us! We’ll find out why Dark Enchantress Cookie is doing this! |
|
And on our way, we’ll make sure that all Cookies are safe and happy! | ||
Thank you... All of you. I will cherish the memories we have made together on our journey. |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
May you remain crispy and fresh in your journeys...! |
