Speaker A
Ancient maps have this place marked as the Island of Light. And beyond that, should be another island with a magic barrier called the First Nest Island.
Speaker A
How unethical. Meddling with the force of life here, of all places. The sky burns crimson.
Speaker A
This is no natural sight. Yeah, something is not right. I sense great evil. It must be Dark Enchantress Cookie's black magic at work.
Speaker A
No different from the times of the Dark Flower War. White Lily Cookie. This is Financier Cookie aboard Pure Vanilla Cookie's airship. Do you copy?
Speaker A
To all airships, check your issued communicators. I repeat, check your issued communicators. Crème Knights airship, ready for takeoff. Over.
Speaker A
Holly Legion airship, ready for takeoff. Over. Hollyberry Cookie, all set. Over. Dark Cacao Cookie. Over.
Speaker A
All right, everyone. We don't have much time, so I'll get right to it. Dark Enchantress Cookie's goal is to create the ultimate cookie, to build a world where cookiekind triumphs over the witches.
Speaker A
Her scheme has brought nothing but suffering and ruin. And the very laws of [music] our world are on the brink of crumbling if we let her continue.
Speaker A
Cookiekind as we know it may be lost forever. We must stop Dark Enchantress Cookie before it's too late.
Speaker A
For our sake and for Earthbread's. May the divine blessing be upon you. And may your dough [music] stay crispy as always.
Speaker A
It is time. Let us march into the battle against Dark Enchantress Cookie. Cookies, prepare to enter the Laboratorium.
Speaker A
Ugh, the stench of rancid butter. This place is quiet. Too quiet. Could they have run off already? [music] Beware of traps. Our enemies must have expected us to strike here.
Speaker A
Yes, but this is our only lead. Traps or not, we must venture further inside.
Speaker A
Station some troops on the surface. The rest will proceed underground. And keep the airships on standby.
Speaker A
Let us secure this area quickly, [music] then head over to the First Nest Island.
Speaker A
We will need to act fast while its barrier is dispelled. Stay sharp and steady. Expect traps and ambushes at every corner.
Speaker A
Moving in now. Because, checked. No signs of the test subject. Equipment, checked. No signs of life here, except some traces of dough.
Speaker A
[music] The oven is cold. We could not check the inside because it was too dark.
Speaker A
Ugh, the door won't budge. Should we try breaking it open? No. It could be dangerous.
Speaker A
How strange. This lab is completely [music] empty. Did they move the test subjects elsewhere?
Speaker A
And if they did, why leave [music] this place intact? Why not shut it down entirely?
Speaker A
Ah, I see you found my Laboratorium. [laughter] Please don't make a mess. After all, it's rude to treat your gracious [music] host this way.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie? But wait. Scared, are we now? You've brought quite a force with you.
Speaker A
You have nerve showing up here alone, Dark Enchantress Cookie. Stay calm, everyone. It's an illusion.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie wouldn't [music] come alone. Well, well, Pure Vanilla Cookie. Looks like meeting your beast has made you learn a thing or two.
Speaker A
Seeing right through my little deception. [music] You, enough with these games. Reminds [music] me of the Dark Flower War. Ah, the good old days. This time, however, the [music] ending will be different.
Speaker A
I will forge a new world for all cookiekind before [music] your very eyes. You think we'll let you get your way?
Speaker A
Huh, we're going to wreck this place first and THEN TAKE YOU DOWN. OH, it's an insult to send gnats like [music] you against me.
Speaker A
Very well. I shall grant you the kind of welcome reserved for those who dare waste my time.
Speaker A
We shall meet [music] again soon, face to face, without any illusions. Ah, look out!
Speaker A
The monsters are oozing out! Ugh, living dough. How disgusting. [music] We should be able to fight them off, right?
Speaker A
Everyone run! Lest [music] we'll get swallowed alive! Time to teach them a lesson. No intruders [music] will come out of the Laboratorium alive.
Speaker A
Oh, where are the other dough monsters? Master, have you glimpsed all that you sought to see?
Speaker A
[music] Just as I thought. A batch of arrogant fools showing up with whatever scraps they managed to muster.
Speaker A
All these years, [music] yet they still readily cast away their lives for a cause already lost.
Speaker A
What a waste. [music] Yes, Master. Surely they would have joined your side if they were wise enough to see the future [music] you're about to build.
Speaker A
You are right, Pomegranate Cookie. They will never change. Not now, not ever. Even when countless [music] cookies crumble, they will shed a tear or two and repeat their mistakes all over again.
Speaker A
Soon every [music] cookie on Earthbread will know nothing is more empty than their tears.
Speaker A
[music] Status report. The Laboratorium is [music] overrun by dough monsters. Our remaining troops have been dispatched as well.
Speaker A
Ah, crumbs. Knights, follow my command. We must secure the entrance for our allies to exit safely.
Speaker A
There are too many of them. The Crème Knights alone won't be enough. A swarm. They must have planned for this all along.
Speaker A
Back off! Their moist dough will ruin my blade. That was close. Are you all right?
Speaker A
Thank you, Sir Madeline Cookie. Rusty or not, use your sword against those monsters. Disgusting creatures. Get back where you came from.
Speaker A
Are you okay? Take my hand. Thank you. Abra Cookie Cadabra. My staff! Give it back.
Speaker A
I said, give it back! Wizard Cookie, behind you! I will protect you. The monsters, they're frozen solid.
Speaker A
Wait. Is this frost I see? Was it you? I carry Frost Queen Cookie's blessing.
Speaker A
She, too, offers her boon to all those blessed by the guardians of nature. Guardians of nature?
Speaker A
Huh. Cookies who [music] must walk the dark and perilous path. May winter's chill aid you on your quest.
Speaker A
[music] The fate of cookiekind hangs by a thread. Only you can save Earthbread from its end.
Speaker A
Yet, the law of nature weighs down a guardian's [music] every little gesture. I cannot help you further.
Speaker A
But fear not, for the power of nature will be with you in this war.
Speaker A
Run forth, unshrouded from doubt. Best of luck to you. You heard the cookie. We can't lose with nature on our side. LET'S TAKE THOSE MONSTERS DOWN.
Speaker A
Our warriors [music] will smash those frozen dough monsters in an instant. You better. Anyone who fails [music] is running back to the kingdom on foot.
Speaker A
Cookies, don't let your guard [music] down. They might be frozen, but this battle is far from over.
Speaker A
Espresso Cookie, Wizard Cookie, is the Pearl Legion ready? We will investigate the Laboratorium further, then rendezvous with you later.
Speaker A
Very well. Everyone else, move [music] out. We're headed to the First Nest Island. Ahoy!
Speaker A
Stay vigilant. We do not know what lies ahead. Wait, I see something beneath the water.
Speaker A
Huh? Did we sail into a reef? That's no reef. Watch out! Licorice oozlings! They dare gaze into the shadow of the [music] abyss? Soon, the abyss shall gaze back.
Speaker A
May I stop [music] the binding spell now? Well done, Licorice Cookie. Licorice Cookie wobbly like a gargoyle.
Speaker A
If only you could be this useful all the time. Why, you! Do you have any idea how hard it was to bring those oozlings all the way to these waters?
Speaker A
Licorice oozlings, eight shroomies, along with the incense Affogato Cookie left behind. Yes, and thanks to that, they have grown powerful enough to corrupt everything around them.
Speaker A
Finally, we shall get rid of those pesky cookies once and for all. Monsters are climbing aboard.
Speaker A
What are the licorice monsters doing in these waters? What in the Abomination! Our swords are useless against their squishy flesh.
Speaker A
So, this is why the licorice sea was so calm when we left. What is this foul odor? Is this poison?
Speaker A
I feel so dizzy. Herb Raisin Cookie, you're coughing. Chil! [laughter] Cover your mouths. Do not breathe this stench.
Speaker A
I don't understand. Licorice oozlings were anything but toxic. Cookies, you have trained for this.
Speaker A
Nothing can stop our forces. Don't tell warriors, tell our allies how to fight the licorice oozlings.
Speaker A
His
Speaker A
As a knight of the Hollyberry Kingdom, I've never met a foe I cannot defeat.
Speaker A
Take up your torches and get in formation. Stay calm and stand your ground. The ship is about to capsize!
Speaker A
Yeah! Come at me, you monsters! I'll take you down with me to the depths if I must.
Speaker A
Huh? The monsters are retreating. What just happened? Look! Go forth. Go as long as your heart wishes it.
Speaker A
As long as you hold on to hope. Everyone, get ready. We'll ride these waves straight to the First Nest Island.
Speaker A
Raise your weapons. The sea herself is on our side. Come back safe with the waves.
Speaker A
Hiya! Hiya! Do not lose your fighting spirit. This will not be the second Dark Flower War, but the light's retaliation!
Speaker A
HOORAY! WATCH OUT, ESPRESSO COOKIE! THERE ARE still monsters prowling about. It will take some time for us to get back to the lab.
Speaker A
We've secured several chambers near the entrance. Quickly. All right, let's get this research done with and get out of here.
Speaker A
I hope [music] everyone made it out safely. Ah, they'll be fine. Those cookies never take things seriously. Holes in their shields? Perfect for seeing enemies better.
Speaker A
We've got our own problems to worry about. There is quite a lot to investigate [music] Yes yes.
Speaker A
We begin our lonely battle against these papers. I'll go through these [music] and see if I recognize anything.
Speaker A
I hear you've traveled far and wide, from the City of Wizards to [music] the Fairy Kingdom, and even to the Spire of Deceit? Your knowledge and experience will help us all.
Speaker A
I hope [music] so. This laboratory is terrifying. They must have used every [music] kind of magic known to Cookie Kind, if not more.
Speaker A
White magic, black magic, dark moon magic, desert magic, nature magic. What didn't they use?
Speaker A
Looks like they won't stop at anything, even if it entails destroying the Cookie World itself.
Speaker A
Thank goodness the others can't read this. Anyway, this lab is brimming [music] with magic.
Speaker A
How are we going to find anything here? We need to regroup with the others as soon as possible.
Speaker A
I'm positive we'll be able to investigate [music] faster with help. Pearl Legion, have you assigned everyone's roles?
Speaker A
Yes, sir. We've divided [music] into two units, investigation and combat. I completely [music] forgot about the Pearl Legion. We'll be able to get through this place much faster [music] with their aid.
Speaker A
Very well. Tell the investigation unit to copy any magic circle and rune they find and report back to us.
Speaker A
The rest should search every corner of this laboratorium. Make [music] sure to get rid of any straggling dough monsters.
Speaker A
Yes, Espresso Cookie, sir. Thank goodness we found some clues here. We've heard about what's happened in this facility.
Speaker A
Yes, Dark Enchantress Cookie was experimenting to create the ultimate cookie, a creature capable of overpowering the witches.
Speaker A
[music] It's highly likely they've experimented with various magic to create this specimen. I once came across a theory about [music] cookie creation, although it was proposed by a scholar who's since been expelled [music] from academia.
Speaker A
Very well. Let's trace back the magic used here. We'll be able to see what stands [music] out by cross-checking it with our knowledge on the cookie creation process.
Speaker A
We'll be busy for the time being. Let's get to work. Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you sure we're headed the right way?
Speaker A
Yes, I'm guiding you through the safest path. A seemingly safe path might be a trap in disguise.
Speaker A
Perhaps it is wiser to look for a path that lies through open terrain. We must stay alert for any enemies trying to ambush us from the shadows.
Speaker A
Yes. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. I hope it stays that way. Pure vanilla cookie.
Speaker A
Your majesty, the airship is under attack. [music] Huh, I knew it. The airship is too conspicuous.
Speaker A
Ready the warriors. They've attacked Pure Vanilla Cookie's airship. The magic barrier protecting the airship has been fortified. They'll hold out for a while. Find the enemy's [music] weakness and relay the info to the ground forces.
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you all right? Our magic barrier is intact. To all forces, head in the following direction to aid our friends.
Speaker A
Understood. I'll take flight immediately. Strengthen the magic barrier. [music] We must trust our allies and focus solely on defense.
Speaker A
Split into smaller groups and approach the target from different directions. The main unit will hold its position.
Speaker A
Everyone, move out. This is dangerous. We might end up being ambushed instead. Wait, I see something moving over there.
Speaker A
Schwartzwalder? [screaming] An ambush. Warriors, raise your shields. Cake warriors, these are your enemies who seek to destroy our world.
Speaker A
Tear them to shreds WITH YOUR CAKE FISTS. Behind you, Crunchy Chip Cookie. Thanks for that.
Speaker A
These monsters [music] are like ants drawn to sugar. More targets for me to take down. Just swing your weapon eyes closed and you're bound to hit something.
Speaker A
WATCH OUT, HOLLYBERRY COOKIE. That monster is venomous. Phew. Good thing I blocked it with my shield.
Speaker A
Everyone fights so well. Haha, this is nothing for my fellow [music] comrade in arms.
Speaker A
Warriors, listen well. When those gates open, we will fight as one. Understood? Yes, your majesty.
Speaker A
Stand your ground. The future of cakes depends on you. We'll make them kneel before US HERE AND [screaming] NOW.
Speaker A
Schwartzwalder swarm is not holding up as well as we anticipated. At this rate, our enemies will push through our second line of defense.
Speaker A
We cannot let this happen. Shall we begin the fire strike? This will slow them down.
Speaker A
Wait, what about the cakes fighting over there? They were unable to accomplish their mission.
Speaker A
This way, they will make themselves useful. All sacrifices shall be worthwhile in due time.
Speaker A
Yet with your devotion, we may lessen the crumbling for now. Mayoccar slimes, what? [laughter] The power of nature you've amassed will be of great [music] use to our master.
Speaker A
Red Velvet Cookie, prepare for battle. Pomegranate Cookie, set the battlefield ablaze. Yes, Dark Enchantress Cookie.
Speaker A
Fire! Fire! FIRES ARE BREAKING OUT EVERYWHERE. EVERYTHING IS ABLAZE. THE FIRE IS SPREADING TOO FAST.
Speaker A
We'll be trapped [music] if we don't do something. Let's get out of here. Fire?
Speaker A
But Dark Enchantress Cookie, is she so desperate as to burn both foe and friend?
Speaker A
Make way. Our only chance of survival is if we get out together. There is no way out for us.
Speaker A
We must fight. Fight for all cakes. There is no other choice but to finish this.
Speaker A
So this is the true strength of our foes. Cake warriors, RETREAT. [screaming] THE ENEMIES ARE FALLING BACK.
Speaker A
Stay on their tail, but keep your distance. YES, YOUR MAJESTY. THOUGH HAILING FROM many kingdoms, the soldiers on our front line move as one.
Speaker A
The five heroes' determination and strength serves as an inspiration [music] and example for us all.
Speaker A
I'm glad. Let us [music] lead the way. Master, the cookie alliance is advancing towards our second line of defense.
Speaker A
They are fast. Perhaps their soul gems have awakened after meeting their [music] beast counterparts.
Speaker A
But we cannot ring the dinner bell just yet. [music] We are missing some desserts on our table.
Speaker A
Yes, master. We will order the cake monsters to regroup with the other forces and launch another attack.
Speaker A
You may let those ancient cookies go. Let us pretend [music] to retreat. They will not suspect anything until it's too late.
Speaker A
At last, the wait is over. It is your time. What's our orders? White Lily Cookie is nowhere [music] to be found.
Speaker A
She must be hiding for the time being to make her move later. Find her and report back to me.
Speaker A
She is bound by the same contract as you, so you will sense her presence when the time comes.
Speaker A
And what if we can't find her? Then you'll have to do what you do best.
Speaker A
We've ventured quite far since landing on this island. How much longer [music] till we reach Dark Enchantress Cookie's lair?
Speaker A
There is an open area ahead. If we use it to our advantage, Hold. There are cookies over there.
Speaker A
Who goes there? Lay down your weapons. One move will strike you down. I don't sense White [music] Lily Cookie among them.
Speaker A
It's time to move on to the next phase. The airship will be tied to this island if we stop the troops here and now.
Speaker A
I will block their path. [groaning] Watch out. Not enough rocks. I'll go again. You, stop or face my wrath.
Speaker A
[music] Hello to you, too. Some heroes you are, huh? Are you all right, Venom Doux Cookie?
Speaker A
You're not hurt anywhere, are you? I'm fine. Their power seems quite different from ours.
Speaker A
Eliminate [music] them now. Yes. Let us return your greeting in kind. Watch out. Is everyone unharmed?
Speaker A
I'm fine. Please be careful, everyone. Your turn, General. My fellow cake warriors, it is time to avenge our FALLEN BRETHREN.
Speaker A
ATTACK! [screaming] CAKE AND DOUGH MONSTERS ARE swarming in from all sides. There's no end to them.
Speaker A
[music] Stay calm. Shield bearers, advance. Forward! Are you really going to fight us? You're not running away?
Speaker A
Huh? I swear, she was up there. You can just run, you know. It's okay.
Speaker A
Do you really wish to fight, Dark Enchantress Cookie? What? What are you going on about?
Speaker A
Oh, I get it now. Dark Enchantress Cookie [music] baked us because cookies like you don't know your place.
Speaker A
Our purpose is to [music] get rid of worthless things like you. What on earth, Breg?
Speaker A
So, if you all had known how to behave, I wouldn't have been created. Meaning, the reason why I'm here, suffering this endless agony, is because of you!
Speaker A
Huh, they're attacking. Get them! THEY'RE TOO FAST! I CAN'T EVEN SEE them properly. Ah!
Speaker A
Get away from me! What are these cookies? Oh, my head. It hurts more and more. This is why I hate you all!
Speaker A
Get away from me! Leave me alone! Go away, OR JUST DISAPPEAR! AH, Pompon Joe Cookie.
Speaker A
Always overreacting. Did you not know how she is? This is your fault. It is your role to tell us what to do, not ours.
Speaker A
Could they be Dark Enchantress Cookie's test subjects [music] as well? Perhaps. But their powers are [music] different from that of our soul jam or life energy.
Speaker A
What could she possibly be trying to create? Espresso Cookie, Wizard Cookie, here's a copy of the magic [music] circle from the lowest floor.
Speaker A
Thank you. Do we now have the copies of all magic circles in the lab?
Speaker A
Correct. And we've taken care of almost all of the remaining monsters. This seems to be a dessert magic ritual.
Speaker A
First comes planning, [music] then creation, and in the end, destruction. Its role is similar to the other magic circles we saw.
Speaker A
Thank you again. You may go back to your duties now. Wait a second. This copy.
Speaker A
I think I saw a similar shape on one of the papers earlier. [music] Look.
Speaker A
Take a look at this. If you put this piece of paper on top of the magic circle, Hmm, I'm not quite certain.
Speaker A
Could it be related to the power that is used in cookie baking? I just know I've seen these symbols before.
Speaker A
Huh, but where? But even if they have succeeded in baking a cookie imbued with this amount of power, they wouldn't last long without a soul jam or magic candy.
Speaker A
It would be beyond pointless as this cookie would surely crumble. Hmm. What if they are regularly healed?
Speaker A
Wouldn't that do the trick? No. Yes. And Dark Enchantress Cookie did gather enough life energy to make that possible.
Speaker A
This is bad. I said, leave us alone. Go back where you came from. It's all your fault!
Speaker A
She stopped. [music] Now's our chance. Huh. Did you really think you could get me?
Speaker A
She seems to be slowing down. Slowing down? Don't make me laugh. Hmm, hold on.
Speaker A
Her body is crumbling, even though she dodged all our attacks. Are you telling me her dough is crumbling by itself?
Speaker A
Pompon Joe Cookie, that's [music] enough. No! If we stop now, we'll have to fight them again!
Speaker A
I'd rather destroy them now, once and for all! Pompon Joe Cookie. Stop now, or it's going to be harder to piece you back together.
Speaker A
Piece her back together? What? So, she was crumbling. And that means their powers have a limit.
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, did you hear all that? Loud and clear. Everyone, gather around Pompon Joe Cookie.
Speaker A
Shield bearers, stand [music] your ground. Knights, position yourselves around Pompon Joe Cookie. Don't fight back against [music] the others, and direct all our attention on this cookie.
Speaker A
Aha! The plan is to break through Pompon Joe Cookie to push forward. All [music] right, let's do this!
Speaker A
You heard the boss. NOW'S OUR CHANCE. RUN! [groaning] WE DID IT. NOW, onwards we go!
Speaker A
Keep running, everyone. Nothing but rocky plains ahead. I'll cover you if the enemies attack from the flanks. GO! NOW!
Speaker A
[groaning] YOU ALL PAY FOR THIS! OW! OW! That's enough, Pompon Joe Cookie. [music] You fulfilled your purpose.
Speaker A
Ow. My head hurts so bad. My dough's going to crumble! Yes. Look at the state of your head.
Speaker A
You should have stopped when we told you so. Pomegranate Cookie, you must be watching.
Speaker A
Ah, look at them, wielding their powers so recklessly when it's not theirs to begin with.
Speaker A
I'll replenish your powers with my magic, but don't forget, your work is far from over yet.
Speaker A
We've never once forgotten. Pure Vanilla Cookie, shall we keep guiding them through the plains?
Speaker A
No enemies approaching at the moment. Even if they show up, we have enough distance to defend ourselves.
Speaker A
This place seems much too safe. Surely it can't be this easy. Surely Dark Enchantress Cookie has foreseen our arrival.
Speaker A
We must stay alert. There could be a greater trap ahead. Yes, you're right, Madeleine Cookie.
Speaker A
I can sense how strong Dark Enchantress Cookie's presence is on this island. That could be the reason [music] why our communicators are not working properly here.
Speaker A
It's almost like a magic circle has been drawn across the whole island. Ah, I can't figure out what kind of [music] magic she's hiding here.
Speaker A
Something's not right. Everyone, stay together and move with caution. Check your surroundings. [music] Do you notice anything strange?
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, our communicators are off. Could she have put a spell over the entire plane?
Speaker A
Impossible. No! Stop! Our communicators are not working properly. I couldn't make out what they were saying.
Speaker A
Yeah, something about strange? What do you mean, strange? There's nothing here. Well, there's sand, weeds, and oddly shaped rocks.
Speaker A
Hold on. These rocks, they resemble cookies clumped together. Halt! EVERYONE, STOP! TAKE DEFENSIVE POSITIONS!
Speaker A
DOUGH MONSTERS MUST DESTROY. MUST DEFEND. MUST [screaming] STOP. ALL THESE ROCKS WERE DOUGH monsters in disguise?
Speaker A
Huh, at last, it's time FOR MY DOUGH EXPERIMENT TO SHINE. Just how much life energy did you use?
Speaker A
What do you think, Matcha Cookie? The fruits of our experiment. They were almost [music] classified as utter failures like you, but luckily we were able to turn it around with some additional tweaks here and there.
Speaker A
And that trio? They're something, [music] don't you think? Oh, oh whatever. Oh, I can barely contain my excitement.
Speaker A
The pièce de [music] résistance of all the experiments. I just can't wait to see what they'll achieve with all that power.
Speaker A
I see the Cookie Alliance [music] forces. We caught up quickly. Are we fast? Or are they overly cautious?
Speaker A
It's those three again. They're back. What? Oh, Jesus. They are not cautious. Just slow.
Speaker A
We managed to patch up Pompon Cookie and reach our target. I suppose a thank you is in [music] order slowpokes.
Speaker A
Why you arrogant little Dough soldiers, attack. Turn this plane into their graveyard. Let it be their final resting place.
Speaker A
[groaning and screaming] I knew many would crumble and fall. Scream in pain and agony.
Speaker A
But reality proves far more cruel than I imagined. Honor, fate, victory, even good intentions, all will seem like hypocrisy in the face of suffering.
Speaker A
As I continue down this path, will I ever be able to convince myself otherwise?
Speaker A
Oh. How will we ever look into the soldiers' eyes? Financier Cookie, come with me.
Speaker A
Let's search for a way through. Yes, Pure Vanilla Cookie. Destroy. Defend. Scatter. They won't stop charging at us even when their doughs are crumbling.
Speaker A
Something big is approaching from above. We cannot make it out in this darkness. Just what we needed, a cake hydra. This is not good. [music] No wait.
Speaker A
Huh huh? Finally. Golden Cheese Cookie, keep our side separated from the enemy line. [music] What are you up to?
Speaker A
All right, all right. THE BATTLE LINE IS DRAWN. I'LL HOLD BACK THOSE dough soldiers over there.
Speaker A
Thanks. Everyone, get down. It's about to get real hot. Yeah, get down. It's a dragon.
Speaker A
Ouch. The burns. We're all going to get scorched. Good. Their ranks are scattered. [music] Now let's take the rest out fast.
Speaker A
Charge. Onwards. Golden Cheese Cookies, you know what to do. Very well. I'll clear the spears blocking our path.
Speaker A
Good one, Hollyberry [music] Cookie. You sure know how to make an entrance, Pitaya Dragon Cookie.
Speaker A
I'm late. Did something happen back in Crispia? Those pesky cake monsters kept getting in my way while crossing the sea.
Speaker A
I burned them all to a crisp and tossed them in the water. I would never miss out on a battle like this.
Speaker A
Oh, you fought all those cake monsters on your own? As expected of a dragon. Not a single scale is scratched.
Speaker A
All right, it's [music] your time to shine. Let's charge straight to Dark Enchantress Cookie's stronghold.
Speaker A
I'll burn everything that stands in my way. Now I'll scatter little cookies. Charge. [screaming] What was it? What was it?
Speaker A
It's on the tip of my tongue. Espresso Cookie, the airship is ready. Shall we prepare for departure?
Speaker A
Both Wizard Cookie and I [music] are still working. Please give us more time and await the call.
Speaker A
They've conducted three experiments to grant such power to a cookie. And the amount of power grew with each following experiment.
Speaker A
They aim to exceed the strength of an average cookie thousandfold. But these records hold no information on the results.
Speaker A
Could these specimens even be called cookies? We need to go now. What's with the commotion?
Speaker A
Grab everything. Pitaya Dragon, we must find Hollyberry Cookie at once. Destroy. Destroy. [groaning and screaming] Crumbs, retreat. That's an order, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE BURNED TO A CRISP.
Speaker A
RUN. RUN. RUN. The dragon's going to attack again. Hey, you. FORGET WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR?
Speaker A
That's the dragon, Moldu Cookie. Pitaya Dragon and Hollyberry Cookie? I'm not sure [music] I follow, Wizard Cookie.
Speaker A
I don't know what these symbols mean, but I remember where I saw them. In the Dragon Ruins.
Speaker A
[music] Stop the dragon is the purpose of our creation. Yes, I will carry out the mission.
Speaker A
What on earth, Bread? How dare you? Power. How did he survive the flames? Impossible.
Speaker A
Huh. He's regenerated while burning. What kind of power could it be? I will stop you.
Speaker A
For that is my purpose. What? Dragon tongue? You dare? A puny cookie. What have you written upon your dough?
Speaker A
I've been waiting [music] for this moment, Pitaya Dragon. We must fight here over and over again until Dark [music] Enchantress Cookie allows us to stop.
Speaker A
It was your fault. Your reckless contract [music] brought us into this sweet yet terrible world.
Speaker A
Not only did Dark Enchantress Cookie desecrate the sacred words of dragon tongue, she inscribed them on your doughs.
Speaker A
And you dare stand in my way? Then fight. [snorts] A mere cookie cannot best a real dragon who speaks dragon tongue.
Speaker A
[laughter] Of course, a cookie is nothing against a dragon. Pomegranate Cookie, and yet, dragon tongue flows within those cookies' doughs. Even a dragon cannot claim victory over them.
Speaker A
After all, you can't fight your own hands, feet, and tongue. [laughter] [snorts] Such insolence.
Speaker A
Listen well, cookies. The great Dark Enchantress Cookie wishes to bestow her mercy upon all.
Speaker A
As long as you surrender the five heroes and pledge allegiance to my master's new order.
Speaker A
What? My master will gladly share the realm of darkness with you. Let us embrace the shadows together.
Speaker A
[snorts] Complete nonsense. It's you [music] whose turn is to surrender. Hey, the first one to escape from Dark Enchantress Cookie and join us can serve in the snowy mountains.
Speaker A
We must stop her before it's too late. She does not care for the good of cookie kind.
Speaker A
Yeah, she'll destroy the cookie world for good. Just tossing away her final act of mercy.
Speaker A
Then you leave us no other choice. Let me show you a glimpse of what awaits you.
Speaker A
Well, to be precise, the end of Crispia that will come before your doom. What is this?
Speaker A
Watch out, Strawberry Crepe Cookie. Hey, I told you to stay hidden behind the waffle butt.
Speaker A
Just crumble already. The jungle is burning. Hold away. Order the guards to escort all barbarians to safety within the palace.
Speaker A
Yeah, the flames won't reach us inside here. Caramel Caramel Cookie, cake monsters are swarming over the mountain ridges.
Speaker A
Sound the drums. Warriors, to your positions. ATTACK! ATTACK! GRAB YOUR SPEARS. If things go wrong, we'll move those monsters away.
Speaker A
Seal this vault once we leave. Hush, little Timi Cookie. We need to keep quiet.
Speaker A
Watch out, Madam Oyster Cookie. Oh, thank you. What are the other locations? The entire Creme Republic is in a state of emergency. The Pearl Legion and private armies of the noble houses are There's no time for reports. Monsters
Speaker A
are rampaging the villages. Follow my lead. How was your tent training? Yes, Captain Caviar Cookie.
Speaker A
This chaos must be spreading across the continent. All of Crispia must be in turmoil.
Speaker A
Jelly's extremists! Jelly's blast you! There's no end to them. Is everyone all right? Thank you for buying us some time. We were able to evacuate all barbarians into the academy.
Speaker A
We must surround the building with barricades. Whew, I could go for a latte right now, but there's no time to waste.
Speaker A
Oh, no, that wall is crumbling down. Quick, repair it. My My hammer is going TO TURN TO MASH AT THIS RATE.
Speaker A
Are you all right, Custard Cookie III? Yeah, you know those cake hounds? Do you think they got angry with me for chasing that crowned one?
Speaker A
I'm the king. I shall venture out and help my dear subjects. Whoa, whoa, don't you dare step outside the kingdom walls.
Speaker A
But But I'm a king. I have In tales, leaders take charge and prevail [music] as heroes who save the day.
Speaker A
You may be a king, but you are still young. Let us grown-ups protect you.
Speaker A
Oh. Let's ponder this within the safety of our walls. We'll venture through countless [music] tales together.
Speaker A
And afterwards, you, your majesty, will become a king who knows how to protect his own.
Speaker A
We keep pushing the monsters back, but there's no end to them. What on Earthbread is in their doughs?
Speaker A
If you're out of arrows, pour boiling chocolate on the monsters scaling the walls. Now.
Speaker A
Been there, done that, but I still can't get used to it. Throw what you CAN FIND, EVEN MUD.
Speaker A
WE NEED TO BUY SOME TIME FOR THE YOUNG'UNS TO ESCAPE. Jelly's blast you! No.
Speaker A
We came all the way here to keep our loved ones safe. But now we're standing here helpless, watching everything crumble.
Speaker A
[laughter] Such fate awaits all who dares deny the new order. Pomegranate Cookie, I must ask you something.
Speaker A
You said all cookies except us can join your dark order, correct? Yes, but yet they tossed that precious chance away.
Speaker A
All right, then why are the cookies of Crispia suffering already? Did you make them the same [music] offer?
Speaker A
I doubt it. Pomegranate Cookie, neither you nor your master ever intended to let any of us join your side.
Speaker A
Do not attempt to sway us. We've seen such tricks too many times. Cunning old fool.
Speaker A
Everyone, I know you yearn to return [music] to your homes and into the arms of friends and family.
Speaker A
But don't forget, right now our loved ones are fighting, too, with their trust in us.
Speaker A
Until this war ends, remember those who wait for us back home. Pure Vanilla Cookie.
Speaker A
Yes, our dear friend is [music] right. Crispia is strong and will endure even without us.
Speaker A
The sooner we claim our victory here, the safer our kingdoms will be. So, raise our weapons.
Speaker A
How dare they threaten what's most precious to us? Show these villains NO MERCY. CHARGE!
Speaker A
[screaming] INSOLENT FOOLS. SO, [music] you wish to see this through to the bitter end.
Speaker A
You are nothing but an obstacle in realizing my [music] master's grand vision. Pomegranate Cookie, I I apologize. I stepped out of line, master.
Speaker A
Um Dark Enchantress Cookie, ma'am, not master, how are you not [music] angry with them?
Speaker A
They just said they're not going to give up. Must you irk the master at this moment?
Speaker A
Use every means at your disposal to make those cookies pay. All right, all right, jeez. I can't even say anything around here. I'm going.
Speaker A
How could I be angry when everything is only beginning? Get away. Are you okay? You need to treat your injuries.
Speaker A
No. I still got some fight left in me. [laughter] In the end, there won't be a home to return to. How utterly pathetic.
Speaker A
What is it? The flow of life energy used to control our armies in Crispia is growing weaker by the minute.
Speaker A
Hm? What do you mean by that? Are you saying we're losing soldiers? No, it cannot be.
Speaker A
Is everybody okay? What about the fire in the jungle? The jungle guards are putting it out as we speak, your highness, but these wretched monsters won't stop attacking.
Speaker A
What's gotten into them, anyway? It's because of this. These pomegranate gems. Dark Enchantress Cookie's loyal servant planted them all across Earthbread.
Speaker A
Pomegranate gems? Dessert creatures controlled by these gems grow more powerful and violent. These gems were planted [music] in this kingdom too.
Speaker A
Find them and remove them. Doing so will weaken the monsters. Oh, wow, you're a lifesaver. Thank you. Uh I am Dark Choco Cookie, son of Dark Cacao Cookie.
Speaker A
YOU TRAITOR! [screaming] WE MUST RELAY THIS information to the other kingdoms at once. I will dispatch the messengers.
Speaker A
Don't worry about the Dark Cacao Kingdom. The message [music] is on the way. There are fewer enemies coming from the mountains.
Speaker A
Good. Let us regroup and check our supplies. Caramel Arrow Cookie, two cookies are approaching from the mountain path.
Speaker A
Yeah, look. They said he cleared all the gems, but there are more scattered across the ridge.
Speaker A
Even the prince himself couldn't find all the gems. [music] That's why we are here to aid him.
Speaker A
Who goes there? We're at war. Turn back at once. I am Purple Yam Cookie, and this is Milk Cookie.
Speaker A
Dark Choco Cookie has entrusted us with a message for the Dark [music] Cacao Kingdom.
Speaker A
We are here to tell you how to defeat Dark Enchantress Cookie's forces. His highness.
Speaker A
Hey, watch out! I'll cover you, so stay sharp. [music] Who knew I'd be fighting side by side with these uppity folks?
Speaker A
They're coming back. Oi, what do you think you're doing? Out of my way! I I learned shield magic, too.
Speaker A
Thank you for protecting us, Strawberry Crepe Cookie. Now it's our turn to protect you.
Speaker A
Yeah, we must stay safe to welcome back Pure Vanilla Cookie and Black Raisin Cookie.
Speaker A
You are here so It will be okay. Our Golden Queen will never let history repeat itself, no matter what happens.
Speaker A
Yes. Fear and loneliness won't last for long. Yeah, everything will turn out to be all right.
Speaker A
Everyone, encircle and protect the academy. Professors, please help keep track [music] of everyone and maintain order.
Speaker A
I will keep my promise. I'll protect what matters most, our school and students. So please come back home safely, everyone.
Speaker A
This is Oh, I wish Gingerbread could hear this. And Strawberry Cookie, and Wizard Cookie, and everyone else, too. I want to become a king who can bring joy to all.
Speaker A
I believe in my Hollyberries, as they are brave and courageous. My denizens are more precious than my [music] own life.
Speaker A
I'd give my soul to save them all. Precisely why we must end this war as soon as possible.
Speaker A
WARRIORS! YES SIR! STAND your ground. Show me your resolve. This is our moment to shine.
Speaker A
THE BATTLEFIELD IS OURS TO CONQUER. RUN BOLT! RUN UNTIL OUR WILDEST DREAMS COME TRUE.
Speaker A
I will light up the path ahead. Let's go. We've got this. Pom Pom Dou Cookie, give these Pomegranate Power Gems to all our troops, except for you and the general.
Speaker A
This is too much. If cookies imbue their dough with this Yes, they'll forever be bound to the darkness and crumble if they cannot withstand the power.
Speaker A
So what? I will imbue my dough, no, my soul with this gem's strength to aid in furthering my master's grand design.
Speaker A
And here I thought you were more useful than this. Fine. Fine. I'll go, all right.
Speaker A
The enhanced Pomegranate Gems. So, she finally Stay still. Let me see your heads. I need to insert [music] these gems properly.
Speaker A
[screaming] The enemies are acting strange. Their attacks have gotten more aggressive than before. Crumbs, [music] they must have used another blasted spell. Everyone, GRIP YOUR SHIELDS TIGHT.
Speaker A
MOLTO COOKIE That Pomegranate Gem belongs [music] to me. Hand it over. But My dough is stronger than yours.
Speaker A
We don't have time. Give it to me. Now. [music] [groaning and screaming] Oh, Jesus.
Speaker A
Not that one. Prepare yourselves. Stand your ground, no matter what. [sighs] [groaning] No, Molto Cookie. You shatter into pieces.
Speaker A
We cannot lose. Must follow orders. [groaning and screaming] Stay vigilant until our enemy has completely crumbled.
Speaker A
Wait, this energy. Everyone, stand back. [music] It's not Molto Cookie we should be worried about.
Speaker A
It's always the supporting cast, isn't it? The spotlight belongs to me. [groaning] [screaming] It's only natural for the climax to belong to the star of the show. Wouldn't you agree?
Speaker A
Well, I'm not fond of the deus ex machina trope. Sometimes a dramatic entrance is just what we need.
Speaker A
[screaming] [laughter] I can't hit the road all night, but we've still got [music] a long way till the intermission.
Speaker A
Oh, it's been a hot minute. Now, it's time to bring this performance to its grand finale.
Speaker A
Voila! The climax. Oh, my dear audience, this is the moment you've all been waiting for.
Speaker A
Your beloved Earthbread's greatest jester [music] will give you the performance of a lifetime. Your very last glimpse of the world of deceit.
Speaker A
What on Earthbread? The skies. My head. So dizzy. Where am I? I don't like this. Help!
Speaker A
This is bad. Our forces are in utter dismay. Conjuring illusions on such a grand scale, this power is [music] much too dangerous.
Speaker A
We have to act now, before our friends fall into [music] grave danger. Warm. Strawberry gem [music] oozing from my dough.
Speaker A
It's so warm. Help me. No don't. If you help me, I'LL [screaming] [laughter] BEHOLD THE kaleidoscope of the void, stage of delirium. It grants cookies the most dreadful or gift, a glimpse [music] of their darkest nightmares.
Speaker A
What do you think? Fun, right? It hurts. [screaming] STOP. STOP. MAKE IT STOP, PLEASE.
Speaker A
And the crowd goes wild. Oh, how it thrills me to give my beloved audience such exquisite entertainment.
Speaker A
Ooh, do I hear an encore? All right, I'll broaden my stage fueled by your overwhelming love and screams of support.
Speaker A
What is the meaning of this? Our warriors are Wait. My head. Hollyberry Cookie, resist it.
Speaker A
The beast has blanketed the entire land with his foul magic. Those eyes. Watching. Watching.
Speaker A
How much more? This abomination stretches far beyond the horizon. [music] At this rate, Crispia will be next.
Speaker A
No. Shadow Milk Cookie. Exactly as I've heard. Annoying, full of himself. Do I hear a volunteer from the audience?
Speaker A
How passionate. [music] Okay, then, folks. The million-coin question for the not-so-happy Hollyberry Cookie. You've got your new shiny shield, but what about your poor heart, carved out from the inside by all those little grievances?
Speaker A
Oh, who could have guessed? Behind [music] all that carefree laughter hid nothing but a scared little girl running [music] from the tragedy of this world.
Speaker A
Ha! Wowza, that's a classic case of avoided behavior. Allow me to help [music] you confront the ugly truth buried deep within.
Speaker A
My head. Hollyberry Cookie. Aha, we have another volunteer. That cookie flapping her golden wings thinking [music] she's all that.
Speaker A
Mhm, but what do you know? The fate of your [music] precious denizens is still rotten, just like cheese. Not gouda at all.
Speaker A
Shadow Milk Cookie. You Don't you dare insult my cookies. And you, my broken king. How about we unpack how [music] you're feeling after your dignity as a ruler was trampled in the dirt all because of your inflated ego and desperate need for approval.
Speaker A
Perhaps the sheep you call your [music] peasants, I mean, subjects, simply wanted a figurehead to follow and obey.
Speaker A
So, if you think about it, their ruler [music] could have been any old cookie.
Speaker A
Or perhaps not so lucky. You insolent [clears throat] You heroes call me the cookie of deceit, but come on. Look at how pathetic you are, trembling and red-faced in front of the truth. [music] What can you do now? Even White Lily
Speaker A
Cookie has betrayed your sad party. Do you really believe that you, a bunch of ragtag nobodies, can defeat the great beast?
Speaker A
Sky smiles. I smile. The Earthbread smiles. The moon smiles. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Speaker A
Stop. STOP. NO. [screaming] THE PAIN. MAKE IT STOP. PLEASE. PLEASE. Cut it out. Make it stop.
Speaker A
Cut it out. Make the thoughts [laughter] stop. Pieces to pieces. Pieces to pieces. Pieces to pieces.
Speaker A
Watch out, everyone. PURE VANILLA COOKIE. WELL, WELL. Look who's making a big entrance now after watching his friends get properly tortured. Typical diva behavior.
Speaker A
Shadow Milk Cookie, I command you to stop this. [laughter] Command me on my grand [music] stage of deceit? You reeking of vanilla.
Speaker A
You little goody-two-shoes. You cannot stop me. [laughter] Pure Vanilla Cookie steered his airship directly into Shadow Milk Cookie.
Speaker A
Look above. Shadow Milk Cookie's sinister magic is receding. Pure Vanilla Cookie has learned a few tricks.
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you unharmed? I'm fine. What of the others? Everyone's in one piece. Her eye [music] protected the crew with the celestial light.
Speaker A
Good. Now we need to get [music] out of here. I merely bought us some time.
Speaker A
It's going to take more [music] than an airship to stop Shadow Milk Cookie. Cookies of the alliance, leave Shadow Milk Cookie to me.
Speaker A
The beast may be after us, ancient cookies, but Dark [music] Enchantress Cookie's plans go much farther.
Speaker A
She aims to siphon all of our world's life [music] energy. If we all stay here to fight Shadow Milk Cookie, his power of deceit will keep us [music] tied up.
Speaker A
Please, continue our campaign to save Earthbread. Let us meet at Dark [music] Enchantress Cookie's stronghold.
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, very well. [music] Everyone, onwards. Leave it to us, Pure Vanilla Cookie.
Speaker A
[laughter] My, my. I admit you [music] took me by surprise with that stunt. Were you really trying to end this by flying an airship right into me? Hm?
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie? And here I thought you were a cookie [music] who stands for truth and all that good stuff. Perhaps the stupidity of your friends is infectious. [music] The so-called solution the good and noble Pure Vanilla Cookie has come up
Speaker A
with was this? Shadow Milk Cookie, I don't have a solution. For I haven't [music] yet reached the truth of our world.
Speaker A
But one thing is for certain, we must put an end to this vicious cycle of suffering.
Speaker A
One that [music] only causes us to bring pain to one another. Shadow Milk Cookie, I understand the path you have walked. I understand what you're feeling.
Speaker A
No I I don't think I do. I simply wish to. I want to understand you.
Speaker A
And I want to set you free from these chains that [music] bind us both.
Speaker A
Understand me? Ha! Look at him. Pure Vanilla Cookie wants to understand me. I refuse to endure another word of your revolting prattle. I mean, really, [music] how much more pathetic can you get?
Speaker A
Before, when we were connected by your other realm, I felt it. Your Silence. You dare act like you get me just because you spent some time in my other realm. I warned you, and I'll gladly put you up for an eternity of suffering.
Speaker A
No, Shadow Milk Cookie, THAT'S ENOUGH. [laughter] TOO LATE. I'LL SEND you to the deepest, darkest corner of my other realm.
Speaker A
Now then, go on. [music] Show me that you understand me. Show me what you're willing to do.
Speaker A
[music] And cheap tricks won't get you out like last time. Pure vanilla cookie. Uh-uh-uh, this doesn't concern you, extras.
Speaker A
Oh, it's not. You did not just try to get [music] in Shadow Milk Cookie's way.
Speaker A
It's time to play. Shadow Milk Cookie. Uh-uh-uh, looks like the audience is a little rowdy tonight. Please, stay seated. We're experiencing some technical difficulties.
Speaker A
Good. Now, let's [music] get this show on the road. [laughter] Do you think Pure Vanilla Cookie is okay?
Speaker A
Who knows what Shadow Milk Cookie has prepared? He will be fine. [music] Pure vanilla cookie is stronger than we think.
Speaker A
Yeah, we need to trust our friend and keep running onwards to stop [music] Dark Enchantress Cookie.
Speaker A
Strawberry Cookie, Black Raisin Cookie, let's get going. GingerBrave, and you two, are you sure [music] you want to go on your own?
Speaker A
Yeah, we can only save the cookie world if we find Dark Enchantress Cookie's [music] lair. We'll go ahead and scout it out.
Speaker A
An army is slow and easy to spot, but a small group of skilled runners, no problem at all.
Speaker A
Are you certain? We have no idea [music] what dangers lie ahead. Monsters, Dark Enchantress Cookie's cronies, and the beasts.
Speaker A
I'll be fine. I have Strawberry Cookie and Black Raisin Cookie with me. GingerBrave, truly, your courage knows no rival.
Speaker A
Fortunately, the other beasts do not know about you, except Shadow Milk Cookie. This will mean you could reach Dark Enchantress [music] Cookie's stronghold, avoiding their watchful eyes.
Speaker A
However, as Golden Cheese Cookie has said, your path will be full of dangers. Run back as soon as you complete your mission.
Speaker A
Got you. Leave it up to me. Running is what I [music] do best. We're ready, GingerBrave.
Speaker A
The crows are ready as well. My raisin crows will alert the others of Dark Enchantress Cookie's whereabouts.
Speaker A
Awesome. Let's go. Master, Shadow Milk Cookie has revealed himself to our enemies, completely ignoring your orders.
Speaker A
Indeed, those beasts are wild and uncontrollable. Yet, that was exactly what I needed. No matter the orders, he would have done the exact opposite.
Speaker A
You know the beasts [music] well. Silent Salt Cookie, why haven't you departed to the assigned area [music] yet? Time is of the essence.
Speaker A
Remain calm. I know what must be done. I will not interfere with your plans.
Speaker A
Keep your focus [music] on the battlefield instead. I'll create an opening. I will await you at the castle.
Speaker A
I'm fleeing, avoiding the beasts' watchful eyes. Charge Dark Enchantress COOKIE'S STRONGHOLD. YES, none shall escape my grand design.
Speaker A
Pomegranate Cookie, send the warriors. [music] The time has come to perform the invocation I have long prepared.
Speaker A
Yes master. Shadow [music] Milk Cookie, why? Why must you continue down that evil [music] path?
Speaker A
Will I ever be able to understand? Could I reach further into the abyss? That dark shadow that looms over you, could I see what it hides?
Speaker A
This illusion of azure, ever-changing, terrifying, yet somehow at times strangely alluring. When we were connected as one, albeit briefly [music] I felt more certain of my powers than ever before.
Speaker A
What is this shadow that lies at the edge of truth and deceit? [music] What is this that I almost feel within my grasp, yet always slips away like smoke?
Speaker A
Even now, your head is full of mush. Are you still clinging onto the false hope, thinking you could understand?
Speaker A
How about you show what you've got first, [music] then? Uh, my staff. This soul jam hanging proudly [music] on your chest, it sickens me.
Speaker A
Uh, my soul jam. Oh, my soul jam. It's belong to me, remember? [music] You are nothing but a half-baked fool who can do nothing without his trinket.
Speaker A
[music] If you wish to prove yourself, do it without your precious soul jam. The Milk Lake?
Speaker A
You You dare to trick me at the spire [music] and escape? And you think you understand me? You want to understand me? Do you even hear yourself? [music] You understand nothing. This world, you, or me, nothing.
Speaker A
No, you're wrong, Shadow Milk Cookie. Be quiet. I will plunge you deep [music] into the Milk Lake of truth.
Speaker A
Your silly little tricks won't work here, for the milky waters [music] hold every bit of truth on Earthbread.
Speaker A
Let's see if you can continue spewing [music] this sick nonsense even after facing your deepest, darkest truth.
Speaker A
Shadow Milk Cookie, just hold on a minute. Let's Ah, I can't wait to see your dough and [music] soul fall apart, soaked in milk.
Speaker A
Well ta-ta. No! [music] My head, it's [music] so dizzy. Something is seeping in. Will I be able to [music] reach it?
Speaker A
Your shadow that has stretched over [music] over eons. White. Everything is pristine white, as if it's before all the tragedy unfolded.
Speaker A
[music] Fount of knowledge. Oh, fount of knowledge. A cookie? Who could it be? Are they calling [music] for me?
Speaker A
Fount of knowledge, I have something to ask you. Am I Am I the fount of knowledge?
Speaker A
An illusion or a past memory? Please, oh fount of knowledge, how and why were cookies created?
Speaker A
Why cookies were created? Yes. How were cookies made? You know everything, [music] fount of knowledge.
Speaker A
Well, the gods who have created this world baked cookies to fill it with sweetness.
Speaker A
The gods baked cookies with love, in the image of themselves. They shared life energy with cookies, so that they could live happily, with their doughs ever crispy.
Speaker A
[music] Golly, what a great story. But you just [music] made that up, didn't you?
Speaker A
So that cookies can live blissfully unaware. I What are you saying? The witches made cookies. They baked us so they could eat us, [music] right?
Speaker A
That's what I've heard anyways. No. That's not I've also heard that the witches don't [music] care about our happiness.
Speaker A
We're nothing but little playthings for them. No. No. No, you say? Are you saying what I heard was a lie?
Speaker A
[music] So the witches didn't bake cookies to eat them. Well Oh! So that was nothing but a myth.
Speaker A
Silly me. I can't believe I doubted our gods for a second there. Oh, fountain of knowledge. Thank you for guiding me towards the truth.
Speaker A
Now I know what I must do. I'm [music] glad I could help. We shouldn't let these cookies spread [music] such nasty lies.
Speaker A
Bad cookies who slander our gods and spread lies must face [music] the divine judgment.
Speaker A
Wait, THAT WASN'T WHAT I [laughter] HEY, FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE, WE MADE THE bad cookies pay.
Speaker A
What is the meaning of this? Sinners who spit blasphemy must pay. Now, only good cookies who love our gods remain. We'll live in eternal happiness forever and ever.
Speaker A
Oh, fountain of knowledge. Thank you for telling me the truth. May our doughs stay crispy, crispy forever more.
Speaker A
[screaming] No, this can't be. Ah, my head. So it's true. Witches bake [music] cookies to eat them.
Speaker A
Then what of our fate? Our purpose on this earth, bread? [music] Does this mean everything I know has been a lie?
Speaker A
No, that's not what I meant. Each cookie's life [music] has meaning. More lies. You've been lying to us, too, fountain of knowledge. I knew it. I always knew something was off.
Speaker A
Hunger sickness war death. Why must we live in this vicious [music] cycle of agony?
Speaker A
Good cookies always lose and suffer, while bad cookies live lavishly enjoying their [music] power.
Speaker A
I get it now. My life will be forged by my own hands. I won't live it blinded by lies [music] and deceit.
Speaker A
Wait, THAT WASN'T WHAT I FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE, WE GOT everything we wanted. What is the meaning of this?
Speaker A
Sure, we had to do terrible things. Some lives were lost. But we survived. The gods didn't punish us.
Speaker A
But does this mean do the gods, the witches, not care about us at all?
Speaker A
Oh, fountain of knowledge. Thank you for telling me the truth. We seized WHAT WE WANTED.
Speaker A
[laughter] NO. THIS CAN'T BE. OH, my head. My head feels blank. [music] What just happened?
Speaker A
Fountain of knowledge, fountain of knowledge. What? Not this again. Is this another twisted illusion?
Speaker A
Or a past memory? Oh, fountain of knowledge. A great flood has destroyed our village's livelihood.
Speaker A
Our villagers are starving to crumbs with no food to eat. But there's this rumor.
Speaker A
Our neighboring village cast a curse on us. There's no real proof, of course. But the rumor is spreading fast.
Speaker A
What should we do? I'm sorry for your loss. But I see. So the curse was a mere rumor after all.
Speaker A
But why? How could this happen to our village? We didn't do anything wrong. We lived in peace following the teachings of our gods.
Speaker A
[music] Why do the gods, the witches, why did they send us such pain? What do they want from us?
Speaker A
No. Oh, fountain of knowledge. A fight broke out in our village. The hungry scrabbling for food.
Speaker A
Everyone started fighting over what's left of our stock. Countless cookies got burned and crumbled.
Speaker A
Why do these horrible things happen? What did we do wrong? Had you told us the rumors were true, that the neighboring village really did put a curse on us, maybe we could have stopped the jam shed.
Speaker A
No, but that's not right. Huh. So what's right is innocent cookies starving and fighting until they crumble. Is it?
Speaker A
Is that your noble truth? No. This is wrong. [crying] Hm. Your neighboring village must have cursed you after all.
Speaker A
No. Wait, that was a lie. I lied, but I couldn't stop myself. I knew there was something suspicious about those cookies.
Speaker A
I'll go and tell everyone the truth immediately. Oh, thank you, wise fountain of knowledge. You saved our village from agony and sorrow.
Speaker A
Those nasty cookies, we'll make them pay. No. That's not the truth. [laughter] I just lied to them. But why does it feel like they're happier this way?
Speaker A
Fountain of knowledge, thank you for telling us the truth. We drove off those who cursed us and even got enough food for the village.
Speaker A
HOORAH! LONG LIVE THE FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE! NO, this is not it. This is just wrong.
Speaker A
But the witches still won't intervene. Why? When will they show [music] up? How much more chaos will it take? Are you not joyous why this world was created?
Speaker A
I My head. Fountain of knowledge, oh, fountain of knowledge. Oh no please enough. Fountain of knowledge, what is the difference between truth and deceit?
Speaker A
Stop this. I am not the fountain of knowledge. Oh, fountain of knowledge. My dough grows colder and colder.
Speaker A
They say there is no cure. Perhaps you can help. Will I live? I I don't know what to say.
Speaker A
Fountain of knowledge, why do stories woven with lies at times hold greater power? Why do they make cookies happy?
Speaker A
Those lies, they're a different kind. Fountain of knowledge, are there good and bad lies?
Speaker A
Does this mean there are [music] good and bad truths? What's good and what's bad?
Speaker A
Truth and deceit? What's right? Oh, fountain of knowledge. LET ME ASK YOU ONCE MORE. How and why are cookies created?
Speaker A
I don't Why? Just how much more chaos must ensue in the cookie world for the witches to finally reveal their intentions? [music] What is truth?
Speaker A
Truth and deceit. What do cookies need? Oh, is there a way for me to protect my friends, the cookie world, you, with nothing else but my powers?
Speaker A
[laughter] Oh, look at you, dunked in milk, nice and soggy. Perfect for some crumblage.
Speaker A
It is rather entertaining seeing you suffocating in truth. Alas, this act has gotten stale.
Speaker A
Can't truth and deceit be severed entirely? The world where deceit becomes truth and truth becomes deceit.
Speaker A
Yes, yes, deceit becomes truth and truth becomes deceit. It'll be a world so delightfully chaotic and beautiful.
Speaker A
Huh? This soul jam? [music] This means Yes. We can coexist. Knowledge of the world comes to completion only on the premise that truth and deceit must coexist.
Speaker A
You can understand it. Look within. The power that lives inside [music] you. The power inside.
Speaker A
Huh? What is [music] this? Our soul gems are resonating. The milk lake in the other [music] realm ARE FALLING APART.
Speaker A
HOW did the half-baked fool I will protect everyone. [sighs] Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you all right?
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, oh, I'm glad you're in one piece. Huh? How did that cookie escape the great Shadow Milk Cookie's other realm?
Speaker A
Hmm, perhaps we should have taken the others down faster. [music] How did you escape my other realm, you [music] worm? I even took your soul gem away.
Speaker A
So, why did they resonate? Shadow Milk Cookie, I understand now. We can stop [music] everything if we work together.
Speaker A
Aha! [laughter] I could care less about anything [music] you mumble. I've had enough of you.
Speaker A
I'll lock you up in the folds [music] of time for all eternity. You will never leave.
Speaker A
No! Pure Vanilla Cookie! [laughter] [music] [music] [music] It is always more difficult to protect than to take away.
Speaker A
[music] You who persist in the face of evil, I commend your courage and kindness.
Speaker A
The power of the wind. This is the true strength of a guardian. Wow! We're flying!
Speaker A
Oh, come on! Stop getting in [music] my way! The sacred wind [music] carried the beast far enough to keep Pure Vanilla Cookie protected.
Speaker A
Now's the time, Financier Cookie. Let us escort Pure Vanilla Cookie out of here. Yes sir.
Speaker A
You meddlesome gnats. I'll make you pay. [music] A little nature spirit should stick to blowing leaves. You dare interrupt my show?
Speaker A
Did you really think [music] a tiny gust of wind will set me back? Wow!
Speaker A
It's it's a dragon Shadow Milk Cookie! Uh why you? That half-baked fool, a wind sprite, and now a dragon.
Speaker A
I hope you all enjoyed your little games, but playtime is over, kids. Anyone who gets in my way will have their souls ripped to shreds.
Speaker A
Too late. Wow! Hot hot! My soul is melting. Uh flames imbued with dragon tongue. Oh, we won't last long.
Speaker A
Come on, Candy Apple Cookie. Let's get out of here. Shadow Milk Cookie! Aha! A wing lizard or rotten bread can't stop the great Shadow Milk Cookie.
Speaker A
My flames haven't burnt you to a crisp yet beast. You're different from the rest of the cookies.
Speaker A
A strong opponent. You better move out of my way. I have some unfinished business with that half-baked cookie over there.
Speaker A
Such arrogance. You shall not pass. Grant. The area has been sealed off with dragon tongue.
Speaker A
You cannot escape unless you defeat me. Oh, goody. I was about to anyways. You see, I'm really ticked off at the moment.
Speaker A
Let's see where your confidence lies. Adorned I will turn you to ashes. Such crude methods. That's not even real. Hello, I'm over here.
Speaker A
Scurrying about like a rat. Let's take a crack [music] at that dragon noggin of yours. Kaleidoscope of the void.
Speaker A
Your little might tricks have no power over a dragon cookie. Such a nuisance. Well then.
Speaker A
Prepare to count your crumbs. [groaning] Oh, crack crack. [laughter] Boom. Yes, another puppet. You won't be able to catch me in this puppet show of lies.
Speaker A
Slippery beast. It is like fighting a shadow. But your puny trinkets can't pierce a dragon scales.
Speaker A
I'll burn your puppets to ash. Card that. Annoying, but that lizard is right. My psychic attacks are useless. I cannot pierce their scales.
Speaker A
This failure is proving to be a hindrance. Come on. Think. Aha! Those three. Hello, you three. Dough Trio. Yes, you.
Speaker A
Come on, over here. [sighs] We are in no condition to fight. Don't you see?
Speaker A
Well, too bad. However, an [music] actor must perform, no matter what. Haven't you heard? The show must go on.
Speaker A
The production is in dire need of some supporting roles. And besides, you three had plenty [music] of rest during the intermission.
Speaker A
You big dough. You know you would have crumbled if I hadn't shattered the pomegranate gem, right?
Speaker A
That's There's no need to fret. You can thank me later. It's time to get moving. We've no time. [music] We can't move right now.
Speaker A
Again, no need to worry. I, Shadow [music] Milk Cookie, shall help. What crumbs? Language.
Speaker A
You'll get plenty of rest [music] after you finish your chores. I'll make sure of it.
Speaker A
Now, let the next act commence. The dragon hunt. Huh? [groaning] [screaming] Huh? Huh? [laughter] Oh, no. What's this? The dragon was a mere cookie?
Speaker A
Well, then. Time to play inside that sweet mind of yours. [groaning] Master Mystic Flower Cookie, the foolish cookies are headed here.
Speaker A
Oh, of course. [music] Ah! The fog. We can't see a thing ahead. Proceed with caution.
Speaker A
I sense something is afoot. Thick fog everywhere. [music] Wait. What just [music] What is the matter, Crunchy Chip Cookie?
Speaker A
That soldier to my right Or no, maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe it's the fog. Let me take another look.
Speaker A
Something just took the cookies! Your majesty, our warriors are disappearing into the fog one by one.
Speaker A
As if taken by an unseen hand. WE DO NOT know what is happening. You [music] shall wander the fog of delusions.
Speaker A
We will perish one by one if we do not escape this fog. Before we can act, we must know what lies ahead.
Speaker A
Golden Cheese Cookie, fly above the fog and report [music] back to us. A sound plan.
Speaker A
Yeah. No. It cannot [music] be. Such horror. I can't believe my eyes. I see it from above.
Speaker A
The fog is the most dense [music] in that area over there. Golden Cheese Cookie's golden spears are [music] lighting up the battlefield.
Speaker A
I see the way. Mystic Flower Cookie's lair must be located to the east. Huh.
Speaker A
The fog has grown even thicker. Very well. Dark Cacao, hop on my shield. Hollyberry Cookie. [music] I'll launch you over to where Mystic Flower Cookie is.
Speaker A
And I shall light up the skies. Come forth, my loyal dragons. Pierce through this haze and show your unwavering resolution.
Speaker A
This land feels familiar. Ah, yes. The familiar indeed. Mystic Flower Cookie! The fog has lifted.
Speaker A
Warriors, strike! [groaning] Attack! [screaming] Yes, you finally see. Your struggle is but a meaningless revolt [music] against the endless tide.
Speaker A
Meaningless greed, endless suffering. I will end your pain permanently. You will lose everything and return to nothing.
Speaker A
Your fate is sealed within a single lotus bud. [music] Huh. Your majesty, do you see those giant [music] petals?
Speaker A
The beast is trying to trap us within an enormous flower. Retreat. Now! [cheering] We're stuck here.
Speaker A
Your majesty, you must escape. Ride the Cream Wolf to safety. I shall end this battle here and now.
Speaker A
A momentary stroke of luck will not help us win. We must attack straight on before we squander time.
Speaker A
But your majesty, it's much too dangerous. It is a risk I am willing to take.
Speaker A
Yes, your majesty. I am with you. As am I. Good. We cannot delay this any longer.
Speaker A
Advance! [music] Those hands won't [music] let us approach. And the fog is shrouding the battlefield once more.
Speaker A
We must take down the wretched beast. Create a distraction. Yes, your majesty. Cream Wolf is fast.
Speaker A
He'll distract the [music] enemies. I will strike from the flank. Spread out and attack at my signal.
Speaker A
Master, I hear cookies surrounding us. Their movements have changed. [music] I commend your efforts.
Speaker A
However, they have gone. Time is now. Attack! Cream Wolf, go! [music] Mystic Flower Cookie!
Speaker A
In vain. Crumbs, the defenses [music] are too strong. Our attacks are useless against these hands.
Speaker A
Keep your guard up and brace for her counterattack. Pitiful and futile. Eons may pass, and yet fools never change.
Speaker A
They never learn. If you refuse to cast aside your twisted greed, so be it.
Speaker A
I will gladly [music] break down your dough and scatter you back into crumbs. Know your place. Know your limits.
Speaker A
[screaming] [groaning] Your majesty, DARK CACAO COOKIE. Your faithful warriors fought with everything they had.
Speaker A
But Crunchy Chip Cookie and Tea Knight Cookie cannot last any longer. This ends now.
Speaker A
There must be a way. Think and focus. A hidden path lies within this battlefield.
Speaker A
It may yet grant us victory. Crunchy Chip Cookie, watch out! [music] Cream Wolf? Cream Wolf!
Speaker A
No! NO! [music] [music] [snorts] It's turning dark. Is this how evil wins? But wait.
Speaker A
I see the sky. The lotus has not fully closed yet. Come to your senses, Dark Cacao Cookie.
Speaker A
It is not over yet. Your resolution is truly boundless. [groaning] [screaming] Meaningless struggles. Sending your dragons into the sky.
Speaker A
Whatever will that accomplish? Perhaps the fog has clouded your judgment. Foolish cookie. There is [music] nothing you can do.
Speaker A
Return to your primordial light. Not all that shines is light. Not every cut festers into a deeper [music] wound.
Speaker A
Your power has surpassed that of a cookie, but you cannot call yourself a god.
Speaker A
And even if you dare do so, nothing will stand in the way of my resolution.
Speaker A
Your fog is meant to cloud my will, but it remains to be seen if my dragons lose their way within it.
Speaker A
No, Mystic Flower Cookie. I will not let the likes of you crumble the resolution OF COOKIEKIND.
Speaker A
LIGHTNING IS but the sky's way of extending its power to Earthbread below. What on Earthbread?
Speaker A
Do you wish to see the sky's true power? [screaming] Now, secure the route. WARRIORS, ONWARD!
Speaker A
A pity. No one understands the way of apathy. A pity indeed. The lotus flower is closing again.
Speaker A
Your majesty, we must get his majesty to safety. Your majesty, I will create an opening with my dough. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE [music] TO ESCAPE.
Speaker A
Very well. Do that and we will rescue our fellow warriors. Crunchy Chip Cookie, Tea Knight Cookie, here.
Speaker A
These are your cacao tablets. When the fog blurs your mind, take these and let the bitter taste awaken your senses.
Speaker A
Yes, your majesty. Our fallen warriors. Your majesty, lest we perish here, we will honor your orders to the very end.
Speaker A
The situation on land is less than favorable. It must be the beasts. Goodness gracious, the battle looks fierce from up here.
Speaker A
It is time to make a choice, Wizard Cookie. Huh? A choice? We could either join [music] the battle below and aid our allies with coffee magic and your sorcery.
Speaker A
Or we could continue our research and uncover the nature of the magic circles in Dark Enchantress Cookie's stronghold, [music] right?
Speaker A
Precisely. We must learn what Dark Enchantress [music] Cookie is truly planning. Only that way can our heroes find their path forward.
Speaker A
As much as I wish we could help our friends down below, our aid will only buy them a few seconds at best.
Speaker A
[music] Agreed. So, it is settled. Let us head to Dark Enchantress Cookie's lair. Very well.
Speaker A
This is my first time traveling [music] without Strawberry Cookie or GingerBrave, but I will do everything in my wizard power. That way, we will meet again someday.
Speaker A
Indeed. It will become [music] our mission. An earthquake? OUR WARRIORS. [screaming] TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH, Golden Cheese Cookie.
Speaker A
You certainly took your time. I was starting to get bored. What? Face the wrath of the great destroyer. I will crush your dough to pieces.
Speaker A
[screaming] Golden Cheese, they crushed the cookies like mere ants. They're nothing but crumbs. Our allies are falling. This power is too great for them to withstand.
Speaker A
[screaming] Help. I I can't move. [screaming] Those feet leave only strawberry jam and crumbs behind.
Speaker A
Mozzarella Cookie! Crumbs. All I can do is block these invisible attacks with my shield.
Speaker A
We must take down Burning [music] Spice Cookie before we all perish. My axe thirsts for your jam!
Speaker A
Such strength. Hmm. You stopped my axe. [screaming] No. Hollyberry Cookie is sinking into the earth under Burning Spice Cookie's strikes.
Speaker A
Spears. Golden Cheese Cookie, I will trample your wings SO YOU MAY NEVER FLY AGAIN!
Speaker A
GOLDEN CHEESE COOKIE. [laughter] HO HO YOU'VE GOT some fight in you I'll give you that.
Speaker A
The great destroyer knows no mercy. Let's see if you can weather the spice storm.
Speaker A
[screaming] I can't see a thing. I CAN'T SEE A THING. IT IS ABOUT TIME YOUR doom has reached you.
Speaker A
Such is the price of your pathetic fantasies. Eternal abundance, NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR DELUSION.
Speaker A
BLINDED BY YOUR GOLDEN LIGHT YOU FAILED TO UNDERSTAND the limits of your power. Now you will be swallowed up by the TIDE OF CHANGE.
Speaker A
TIDE of change? Don't make me No, but it's you. You who knows not how to love.
Speaker A
Only destroy. It's you who are doomed. Soon enough you too will see it. I however I will see my day of gold.
Speaker A
The great golden goddess [music] will never be swallowed by the tide of change. When that day [music] arrives the golden cheese kingdom's fountains will flow with abundance [music] once more.
Speaker A
And my precious denizens will raise their voices in jubilance. Their cheers echoing throughout the desert.
Speaker A
That day will arrive. This is NO PROPHECY BUT MY DIVINE PROCLAMATION. [music] The cycle of change is inevitable.
Speaker A
Everything you have seen or done has already been repeated in history countless times. [screaming] The stench of spice and strawberry jam.
Speaker A
Oh golden queen. Yes our radiance. [panting] As I dream of the city of wizards and those who once dwelled there you dream of your kingdoms friends the whole cookie world.
Speaker A
Eternally we wait. So let us never [music] lose sight of our dream no matter how lonely and scared we are.
Speaker A
Let us never lose our path for on this path lies our strength. [music] No.
Speaker A
Must stay awake. Can't keep my eyes open. [snorts] So sleepy. What was that? Must have nodded off for a moment.
Speaker A
What is this sorcery? This is Oh pitiful [music] tyrant of a bygone age bow your head before the goddess of eternal gold.
Speaker A
[screaming] Oh your face is priceless. You you're You can call yourself the master of destruction all you want.
Speaker A
But you will never surpass my greed. Oh strange. Something feels out of place. This battle has been going on endlessly.
Speaker A
As if No. Why you little using some trick to knock me out and scurrying off like a rat.
Speaker A
A coward's move. Golden cheese cookie. Your radiance we've detected the signal that the illusion of the golden city has terminated.
Speaker A
Looks like burning spice cookie [music] has caught on. He's quicker than he looks. Guess the beast collar wasn't just decoration.
Speaker A
Your radiance we secured a safe distance from the beast. I can hardly smell the spice in the air now.
Speaker A
Well done all. The hollyberry kingdom's troops will have a chance to escape and move forward.
Speaker A
Now our goal is to reach dark enchantress cookie's lair [music] as fast as we can.
Speaker A
There's spice just everywhere. Ugh I can barely keep my eyes open. Do you think our friends are all right?
Speaker A
I'm not sure. But judging by the terrible sounds [music] coming from left and right No matter how bad it gets we must [music] keep running and fulfill our mission.
Speaker A
Reach dark enchantress cookie's stronghold. A mission or an order? It hurts. It hurts so bad.
Speaker A
I just want everything to be over. It's all your fault. Your fault. HOW IS IT OUR FAULT?
Speaker A
That's our [music] target. GingerBrave. We need to capture him alive. So control your powers.
Speaker A
Got it? GingerBrave get back. Not a chance. Ugh. No. This old tree fell and blocked the attack.
Speaker A
My head is filled with noise. All this fighting has left me stretched too thin.
Speaker A
[music] Dark enchantress cookie if we're just tools to you then at least fuel our strength.
Speaker A
I can't believe my eyes. Their doughs are healing like they were [music] never injured in the first place.
Speaker A
Does this mean that trio can fight forever and ever? As long as dark enchantress cookie helps?
Speaker A
I'm scared. Such evil power. Twisted and unnatural. Oh no. Make it stop. It hurts.
Speaker A
And it stops for a short while but then the pain always comes back. There's no end.
Speaker A
I I don't feel so good. Maybe when GingerBrave is no more, the pain will stop.
Speaker A
The hurt, [music] the pain. Uh-huh. And Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans will be for nothing.
Speaker A
Enough, Pompon Dough Cookie. She's always watching. Not bad. Alas, still pitiful. I am sorry. It's all my fault.
Speaker A
Pompon Dough Cookie. [laughter] Oh. I've been stuck like this since the day I was born.
Speaker A
All because of that [music] blasted Dark Enchantress Cookie. Fine. Bring alive. [music] Enough of this nonsense.
Speaker A
I'm sick of being exploited. [music] These control devices you use to restrain us, to make us suffer.
Speaker A
I've had it. That insolent Venom Dough Cookie. You dare defy the great master of darkness?
Speaker A
My dough. It hurts. Pompon Dough Cookie is right. For everything to end, to strike Dark [music] Enchantress Cookie where it hurts most, Gingerbrave must crumble.
Speaker A
Since we were brought into this world, I've pondered the purpose of our lives. I hoped that meeting those so-called ancient heroes, or you, Gingerbrave, would answer some of my [music] questions.
Speaker A
But no. So, isn't it time you took your leave? Perhaps the knot will untie once you cease to exist.
Speaker A
Pompon Dough Cookie and Mol Dough Cookie will suffer like this no longer. I don't care about the consequences.
Speaker A
[music] I will end things with my own hands. There's something in the air. My eyes sting so bad.
Speaker A
I can't see. In my mind, it's like it's pitch dark. Guys, I can't move my dough at all. It's like I'm tied up by an invisible rope.
Speaker A
I just need to take you out. It will end everything. They're after Gingerbrave. No.
Speaker A
Gingerbrave. [screaming] [music] No evil can stop the determination of the Silver Tree Knights. You're the Silver Tree Knights.
Speaker A
Wow. We got worried when we saw the Fairy Kingdom [music] deserted. Oh, you must be White Lily Cookie's friends. I'm so glad we got here just in time.
Speaker A
White Lily Cookie arrived in the Fairy Kingdom before you. She warned everyone of a great war that is approaching.
Speaker A
Thanks to Millennial Tree Cookie's [music] blessing on Fairywood, I was able to reunite with the knights.
Speaker A
Thank you. We're in your debt. If it weren't for your aid, we would have been in great trouble.
Speaker A
We're trying to find Dark Enchantress Cookie's lair. We'll alert the others as soon as we locate it.
Speaker A
That explains why only the three of you were on the move. Dark [snorts] Enchantress Cookie's castle must be beyond that dark hill.
Speaker A
We'll follow your group after scouting [music] the area. There could be cookies who need our help.
Speaker A
Okay. Thanks. Let's go, gang. Careful out there. Venom Dough Cookie, are you all right?
Speaker A
I'm fine. We must run. Now, we're on our own. But, if another monitoring device detects us, she'll [music] torture us again all the same.
Speaker A
Let's escape, the three of us. That is our mission now. Okay. Hold on a little longer, Pompon Dough Cookie.
Speaker A
I'll reattach your dough pieces. I will carry her. Very well. Let's move. [music] The three of them look like they were in a lot of pain.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans will be for nothing if [music] I disappear? What do they mean by that?
Speaker A
Oh, I see a really big castle over there. That must be it. All right. The path is clear. Let's run to it as quickly as possible.
Speaker A
Okay. So, this is Dark Enchantress Cookie's castle. [gasps] Terrible things happened here. Just looking at it makes me scared.
Speaker A
Black Raisin Cookie, are your crows ready? Ready. They will fly to the others and reveal the castle's location.
Speaker A
Good luck, crows. We should go back and join the others, too. We won't put up much of a fight ourselves. [music] You're right. Who knows what monsters are lurking around? We need to be careful.
Speaker A
She sees. I can't see a thing with this spice storm. Over there. I see the way.
Speaker A
When Gingerbrave is no more, the pain will stop. And Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans will be for nothing.
Speaker A
Gingerbrave [music] must crumble. Meaningless struggles. We must activate [music] the other pomegranate gems. [music] Dark Enchantress Cookie, you've been coughing up too much jam.
Speaker A
No need for your concern. The strain of binding [music] so many magics at once is simply taking its toll.
Speaker A
However, [music] no evil can stop the determination of the Silver Tree Knights. You're the Silver Tree Knights.
Speaker A
For [music] a moment, the plan threatened to waver. Yet, as ever, all has unfolded according to my design.
Speaker A
Such minor [music] disturbances were foreseen. In truth, everything everything is proceeding [music] as it should. Perfectly so.
Speaker A
We lost over half of our forces. And my friends are farther and farther away.
Speaker A
Oh, this is just like the Dark Flower War. No. The past will [music] not repeat itself.
Speaker A
I will keep running forward, on the front line. And we will follow your footsteps, oh great ancient Hollyberry Cookie.
Speaker A
Oh, this is my doing. I turned my back on my kingdom without a second thought.
Speaker A
The ground is shaking. Everyone, get to a safe area. The ground is [music] crumbling down.
Speaker A
My leg. What? What is going on? Our warriors are in complete disarray. Watch out for the boulders COMING DOWN.
Speaker A
MY [crying and screaming] CAREFUL. I'LL PROTECT YOU. WHAT? Someone shielded me. I don't know who you are, but a thank you is in order.
Speaker A
Huh? This pink dough belongs to There, there, deary. [gasps] I've got you. Don't worry your pretty little head.
Speaker A
Eternal Sugar Cookie. Oh, I watched you run all the way here. It was so lovely, so dashing.
Speaker A
Hollyberry Cookie, I knew you'd come back to me. First, let go of me. I have made this very clear before. I have zero intentions of coming back to you.
Speaker A
[music] Oh, please don't say such cruel things. Your lips are meant for sweet nothings.
Speaker A
Come now, [singing] Hollyberry Cookie. I will take you back to our garden of delights.
Speaker A
Our very own utopia. No! Hollyberry Cookie! Welcome back, Hollyberry Cookie. Ugh, you again. I must leave. I must leave this wretched place.
Speaker A
Hollyberry Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie. Why on earth, friend, are you hanging on to me? You have wings to fly.
Speaker A
I know you're angry, sweetling, but know this. I understand what you're feeling. So, I'll lock you up.
Speaker A
Oh, I mean, invite you to my garden. And there, you can tell me what I did wrong one by one, and sway me to do the right thing.
Speaker A
Oh yes. Like teaching someone how to dance at a ball for the very first time.
Speaker A
We'll spend [music] so much quality time together. I don't have any time to [music] spend.
Speaker A
My friends and allies are waiting for me. Oh. Oh, you're so generous, pouring all your care and affection on your loved ones.
Speaker A
Hollyberry Cookie, you truly are my other half. Ugh, patrolling is no fun. [sighs] From the sky.
Speaker A
Foggy. Pomegranate Cookie gives me yummies for good job. [laughter] Yeah, and she'll be really pleased.
Speaker A
Um, I know I'm not one to complain, but did they really make those two stand watch?
Speaker A
Ugh, [sighs] I'm not sure about the mushroom cookie, but we should watch out for that transparent one.
Speaker A
Cookies who carry mirrors tend to have dangerous powers. Really? How can you tell? While crafting magic candies, I've discovered the cookies [music] are made up of all sorts of ingredients.
Speaker A
Pomegranate Cookie, I wonder what she's up to. Pomegranate Cookie made my mirror better. I can see her.
Speaker A
Here. Look. Whoa, Pomegranate Cookie is taking a look at the outside world, like us.
Speaker A
Oh no. They have eyes on everyone within Dark Enchantress Cookie's magic barrier. Indeed, the situation is dire.
Speaker A
They hold every piece of knowledge about us, while we're left in the dark. But how odd. All this intel, and yet the routes to the layer are not completely blocked [music] off.
Speaker A
Which can only mean one thing. [screaming] Hollyberry Cookie, please give in. If you keep fighting, you'll only damage your beautiful dough.
Speaker A
Please, I don't want to hurt you. Ugh, I can't move in this sticky jam. We need to go save her majesty.
Speaker A
Her majesty is TRAPPED INSIDE THAT GIANT MOUTH. WHAT COULD IT BE? Perhaps it's a tunnel leading to Eternal Sugar Cookie's garden.
Speaker A
The mouth isn't completely shut yet. Hollyberry Cookie must be struggling [music] to break free.
Speaker A
Think again, Eternal Sugar Cookie. Do you really wish for that? Huh? Do you want me to obey your every command?
Speaker A
Is this truly the happiness you seek? Hollyberry Cookie, I just want for us to I shunned my duties for far too long.
Speaker A
Too long I avoided confronting my past. But now, I have the opportunity to [music] protect my loved ones with all my heart and dough.
Speaker A
Perhaps meeting you, Eternal Sugar Cookie, was what made it possible. Oh. So, please, stop this.
Speaker A
If you believe that our encounter [music] was meaningful, if you truly care for me, let me fulfill my passion.
Speaker A
Oh. Hmm. I can picture it all too well. You doing your best for Cookie kind.
Speaker A
Oh, thank you for telling me this, Hollyberry Cookie. This is exactly why I'm attracted to you.
Speaker A
I've made up my mind. I I will bring all that you love to my garden of delights.
Speaker A
Let's turn the whole world into our paradise. Oh, what? Think about it. If your precious things are in the garden, you will be there to protect it, right?
Speaker A
Of course, you might resist at first, and [music] my friends would disapprove. But we'll figure that out.
Speaker A
I would stop at nothing for you. [music] Watch out for the mouths on the ground.
Speaker A
Keep your wits sharp. Do not fall into those things. They're about to swallow everyone here.
Speaker A
Cookies, hold on. Look out! More of those wretched things are appearing [music] on the battlefield.
Speaker A
What an abomination. I'd only [music] thought to imagine falling to those gaping mouths. Allies, [music] retreat to higher ground.
Speaker A
Look ahead. That's where Hollyberry Cookie's battalion is. Hollyberry Cookie! Eternal Sugar Cookie, you're threatening those [music] outside your garden, just like your friends did, aren't you?
Speaker A
You would turn the whole world into your [music] garden? Wake up! I won't let that happen.
Speaker A
Everyone will follow their happiness, and passion will LIGHT THE WAY. [screaming] WOAH. I SEE THE situation here is quite sticky. Nah, I won't let your burning heart go cold like this.
Speaker A
I'll set it on fire. MAKE IT RAGE LIKE UNTAMED FLAME. THAT'S HOW WE SAVE THE WORLD.
Speaker A
LOOK, the mouth is opening. And her majesty, Hollyberry Cookie is on fire? Hollyberry Cookie?
Speaker A
[screaming] Hollyberry Cookie, hold on to this spear. Golden Cheese Cookie. Woo. This makes it the [music] second time I escaped the Garden of Delights. And it does not get easier.
Speaker A
Your majesty, I am glad to see [music] you unharmed. My apologies, I could not help. I was stuck [music] in the jam.
Speaker A
No need for apologies. I wouldn't have made it [music] out if it weren't for you.
Speaker A
Your majesty? Thoughts of you set my passion [music] ablaze and gave me the strength to escape.
Speaker A
Hollyberry Cookie. Oh, your black raisin cookie's crow. It's here to tell us the location of Dark [music] Enchantress Cookie's lair.
Speaker A
Oh GingerBrave you did it. Excellent work, everyone. Now, onwards. I ended up here, caught up in the flames and the power of passion.
Speaker A
The air reeks of jam. Everything is shrouded in a thick fog, and the earth itself roars in ear-splitting tremors.
Speaker A
Such horror. This place is nothing like the garden. You left the paradise for this?
Speaker A
Crumbs, we were able to rescue the others, but we're still stuck inside. Mystic Flower Cookie disappeared after her trap shut tight.
Speaker A
There is no way to get outside. I feel helpless. The fallen tea leaf knights must have felt the same way.
Speaker A
Cream Wolf. His majesty told us to never forget the bitter taste of these cacao tablets.
Speaker A
He wanted [music] to remember that sensation and to never give up, no matter what.
Speaker A
Useless. There has to be a way out. Where? Think. Think. The moment our resolution falters, [music] everything ends.
Speaker A
Yeah. Is everyone all right? Moonbrew here worked. Plants are extremely vulnerable to it. We thought our campaign had ended here.
Speaker A
Thank you, cookies of the fairy kingdom. Oh, it's Pure Vanilla Cookie. Cookies of the fairy kingdom, I'm so glad to see you unharmed.
Speaker A
Do you know where White Lily Cookie is? Is she with you? We came here on her command, [music] but we do not know where she could be now.
Speaker A
Oh. That's Black Raisin [music] Cookie's crow. The crow will reveal the location of Dark Enchantress Cookie's castle.
Speaker A
So, GingerBrave really did it. Everyone, let us advance toward her stronghold. [music] No doubt the others are headed there, too.
Speaker A
That silhouette of a towering castle far away, it must be where Dark Enchantress Cookie is.
Speaker A
Good. We are nearly there. Our goal is within our reach. Keep your guard up as we advance. Our [music] enemy may wait in ambush.
Speaker A
We've lost significant time moving through the [music] craters and jam. Our enemies have had more than enough time to regroup and close in on us.
Speaker A
Wildberry [music] Cookie is right. It's been some time since Burning Spice Cookie escaped the illusions of the Golden City. We must hurry.
Speaker A
Halt. Something approaches from the castle. It's fast. Watch out. There's only one. Cookies who have reached the ends of this continent, each guided by your own sense of justice.
Speaker A
Your resolve is admirable. Yet this is where your path must end. Knights of Calamity, [music] ignite the fire of your souls. Become the blade that will cleave the fate of the world.
Speaker A
I detect danger. Look at the strange fog ahead. That's no fog. That's an army of cookie warriors.
Speaker A
But where did they come from? We're surrounded. Not when we're so close. Stay together, warriors. Do not scatter.
Speaker A
There are too many of them. We can't move forward. They're closing in. We need to make an opening, now.
Speaker A
The path is clear. Those dragons. Is that Dark Cacao Cookie? Forgive my tardiness. From here on, I shall fight beside you.
Speaker A
Ah, Dark Cacao Cookie, you're safe. Good. Everyone charge. Watch out, Hollyberry Cookie. She will go no further. I forbid you to take another step.
Speaker A
That's a beast cookie? Stand aside. We have come to stop Dark Enchantress Cookie and save the cookie world.
Speaker A
A noble mission. Yet even united, you cannot change the course of destiny. If you cannot even overcome me, how will you face the one of darkness absolute?
Speaker A
Then we will defeat you and move forward together. Everyone, WITH ME. NO, YOU ARE NOT YET READY.
Speaker A
You shall wait here in silence. Judgment of silence. We've almost reached Dark Enchantress Cookie's lair. Be careful.
Speaker A
It is just across that ridge. [music] I can feel its dark aura grow stronger.
Speaker A
We must be close. Don't worry. Judging by the traces we found, the ancient heroes made it through safely.
Speaker A
Good. Still, they may need our help. We must find them first. Wait. The ground is trembling. [music] Enemies. Everyone, stay sharp.
Speaker A
You worthless scum. I will crush EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU. A beast cookie. The knights [music] will hold the line here. Go, quickly, to the castle.
Speaker A
Understood. Thank you, and be safe. The castle. There it is. Look, I see cookies, too.
Speaker A
But why are they all standing still? It is quiet. Too quiet. They're bound by the spell of silence.
Speaker A
That cookie in black armor, he's conjuring it. To silence so many cookies at once, such terrifying power.
Speaker A
What do we do? Attack that cookie to distract them. I will protect the others with my magic.
Speaker A
Understood. Yes sir. [screaming] [gasps] Silence is broken. PURE VANILLA COOKIE, NOW. EVERYONE, inside my barrier [music] quickly.
Speaker A
Pure vanilla cookie. And so they have [music] all gathered here. Is this truly the fate of our world?
Speaker A
So, all you wretched insects are here. Burning spice cookie. You dare deceive me and flee?
Speaker A
I'll annihilate this place. Burning spice cookie. You don't look well. It is unlike you.
Speaker A
It's those silver winged pests. But worry not. I still have more than enough power to crush you.
Speaker A
Oh, hollyberry cookie, you may protest, [music] but I cannot give you up. I will take you with me.
Speaker A
Duh, it's eternal sugar cookie. We lost too much time under that silence spell. [music] Foolish souls who failed to reach leavening.
Speaker A
The greed of this world gathers here, [music] ugly and shameless. Perhaps this [music] is where all things will fade into nothingness.
Speaker A
And mystic flower cookie. The beasts are arriving one [music] by one. You're surrounded. There's no way out.
Speaker A
Moving now would be too dangerous. My barrier should hold for a while. Tend to your wounds and prepare [music] for battle.
Speaker A
Here, my, my, that fire-breathing [music] lizard almost made me miss the beginning of this grand show.
Speaker A
But would you look at that? The actors and audience have all gathered. Shadow milk cookie.
Speaker A
Talk about perfect timing. The star of the show, shadow milk cookie, is here. Which can only mean one thing.
Speaker A
Something's been on my mind, wizard cookie. This diagram appears to be an instruction for baking cookies.
Speaker A
Yeah. I think so, [music] too. What would we call this thing? Hmm, something like the Patissier's Arcane Tree could work.
Speaker A
Yes, baking magic would [music] indeed create the ultimate cookie. But these markings and notes on the paper whoever this belonged to they were focused on the final stage.
Speaker A
But that [music] is no magic a cookie could use. Wait. No. I should have realized it sooner.
Speaker A
Could it be? No, I am certain. The ancient heroes the beasts no one should have gone to the castle. [music] Everyone has gathered, master.
Speaker A
Well, how timely. Yes, indeed. The temperature is just right. And all the ingredients have converged.
Speaker A
It will all come to fruition soon [music] enough. My masterpiece has been completed. Nothing they do will matter anymore.
Speaker A
Yes. Finally. You will ascend to greater heights, leaving the world of cookies behind. Enough playtime. It [music] is time to raise the curtains.
Speaker A
I will gladly twist the necks of your sad little souls, you insufferable half-baked gnats.
Speaker A
Shadow milk cookie. [music] Ah yes. There are all my ingredients. Perfect. Dark enchantress cookie.
Speaker A
You. What was that? Ingredients? You are in the presence [music] of the great beasts.
Speaker A
I came all the way since you promised some quality entertainment, which turned out to be a complete flop after all. You can practically hear the booing from the audience.
Speaker A
Honestly, I thought [music] it'd be a good laugh to see what you had up your fake witchy sleeves.
Speaker A
The great beasts, you say? It is amusing how you finally seem to [music] have found something in common.
Speaker A
But it wasn't always like that, was it, now? What? [music] Oh, I have prepared a welcome befitting my grand guests.
Speaker A
How about a story? I will tell you of my [music] visit to the fairy kingdom when I broke your seal.
Speaker A
Ancient demons. This is the silver seal tree where the beasts lie dormant. Legend has it that the witches bound the fallen here unable to take Wait.
Speaker A
What is this? This is no magic of the witches. [music] Traces of life energy that the fairy cookies harness.
Speaker A
And with it Oh, silver seal tree. I offer my dough to be bound beneath your roots.
Speaker A
Oh, silver seal tree, conceal the corrupted beneath your bark. Oh, silver seal tree, cleanse their evil and bear the fruits of new virtues.
Speaker A
Oh, silver seal tree pierce their tainted dough with divine forks. [laughter] That is when I realized the one who sealed the beasts, the one who halved your soul jams and took away your powers it was no other than silent [music] salt
Speaker A
cookie who had allied with the elder fairy. Silent salt cookie? An elder fairy? Sealed us away?
Speaker A
It wasn't the witches. But you? Silent salt cookie? Dark enchantress cookie. You are a dangerous one.
Speaker A
This truth was buried deep for the sake [music] of protecting order in the cookie world.
Speaker A
But you exposed it merely to drive [music] the beasts apart. [laughter] Silent salt cookie.
Speaker A
How could you? Silent you were. [music] But no one would have known you were plotting our downfall behind our backs.
Speaker A
You traitor. SILENT SALT COOKIE. YOU FILTHY TRAITOR. [screaming and crying] [screaming and groaning] You who have plunged the world into the abyss of despair heed my word, corrupted fiends.
Speaker A
Your existence was a grave [music] mistake. This is the end of your twisted fate.
Speaker A
Accept the demise you have brought upon yourself in the depths of silence eternal. Judgment of silence.
Speaker A
The beasts are frozen still. It is the same magic as before. So, the beasts have fought amongst themselves. This may work in our favor.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie, just what are you planning? [laughter] This place all gray, not a single sound.
Speaker A
So, this is Silent Soot Cookie's power. Right. I was stamped by that traitor. And now I'm trapped here.
Speaker A
[laughter] Oh, Shadow Milk Cookie, just look at your sorry state. The Fount of Knowledge, master of deceit, greatest playwright, and delightful jester is now stuck in this drab, gray box after being stabbed in the guts.
Speaker A
Ugh. How pathetic. And that filthy turncoat, Silent Soot Cookie, he colluded with the Nat King to seal us beasts away?
Speaker A
Once I break free from here, I will tear those soot crystals one by one, set them ablaze, and send every shard straight to that Elder Fairy.
Speaker A
Ugh. [sighs] Wait. So, it wasn't the witches who sealed us away? They never punished us.
Speaker A
Then, what what were the witches doing? I turned the world into a spectacle of chaos and delirium, and they did nothing at all. Did they even watch?
Speaker A
Even when their emissaries fell from grace. Even when we turned their creation into a stage of terror and despair.
Speaker A
They simply did nothing. But why? What do the witches want? Why did they create us?
Speaker A
Why did they create this world? Oh, Fount of Knowledge, let me ask you once more. How and why were cookies created?
Speaker A
Ugh. Silence! Shut up! Fount of Knowledge, please. Why was this world created? Fount of Knowledge, what do the gods, the witches, want from us?
Speaker A
Stop it! Go away! Oh, Fount of Knowledge, you don't know everything. So, why are you the Fount of Knowledge?
Speaker A
Ugh. [crying] Very well. The great beasts are now trapped in silence. And now it is your turn, my old foes.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie, how far will you [music] go to get what you want? When will it ever be enough for you?
Speaker A
Enough? Enough, you say? How very like you, Pure [music] Vanilla Cookie, to speak of contentment in a world like this.
Speaker A
I came this far because I could never obtain the one thing [music] I truly desired.
Speaker A
Always bound in this frail, brittle vessel, born to be eaten, destined to [music] crumble.
Speaker A
Never once was I truly free. You're wrong. We can be free without resorting to violence and ruin.
Speaker A
Please, Dark Enchantress Cookie, remember the days we studied together. [music] You'd light up with wonder at every new discovery.
Speaker A
How free you were, filled with pure light. Ah. Yes. Yes. There was a time when you enjoyed exploring the forbidden [music] arts with me.
Speaker A
But, when it came to the final taboo, breathing life into what should not live, you hesitated.
Speaker A
[laughter] You never wanted to turn the last page because you couldn't bear for the story to end.
Speaker A
But, I am not like you. I am ready to turn the final page, to step beyond the story itself.
Speaker A
You, Vanilla Cookie, since you refused to do it yourself, I shall gladly [music] turn that page for you.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie, don't! Ah, thank you all for gathering here to play your destined [music] roles in my grand design.
Speaker A
From this moment on, all soul jams will be mine, and I shall be reborn.
Speaker A
The destiny of weakness shall end today. I will break it and usher in a new world ruled by those of true power.
Speaker A
Ugh. I can't move. What is happening? The light is being drained from our soul gems.
Speaker A
Not just ours, but the beast cookies as well. Ugh. Dark Enchantress Cookie? [laughter] [laughter] MY FAITHFUL servants fulfilled their sworn duties.
Speaker A
Dear guests, you will have to stay [music] for a while. At last, everything has come together just as I planned. The magic circle that shall absorb the power of the soul gems is complete.
Speaker A
The light of deceit and truth, the light of sloth and passion, the light of destruction and abundance, the light of apathy and resolution, and silence.
Speaker A
Ah, of course, my broken light of freedom as well. All your power is finally [music] within my grasp.
Speaker A
Now, with these faded, corrupted [music] lights of the past combined, it is time to forge a new being.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie, if you truly intend to use the soul gem's power to perform the witches' forbidden baking magic [music] you know as well as I do that no cookie can withstand it, not even you.
Speaker A
I am aware. The oven, no mere cookie could ever hope to light its flame, but I have long since accepted [music] that fate.
Speaker A
Behold! To rewrite the destiny of cookie kind, I shall offer up my very dough as the sacrifice.
Speaker A
Ugh. [screaming] Ugh. [groaning] [screaming] My dough is burning. This overwhelming, blinding pain. I am being torn to shreds by the flames.
Speaker A
I am being born anew. The witches, our creators, are eating cookies. Huh? No! [screaming] Oh, whose cookie is that?
Speaker A
Look, it fell into the ultimate dough. This is all right. Let's just bake it and see what happens.
Speaker A
Ew! How about we chop up these stale cookies, add it to the dough, and bake them?
Speaker A
We've never tried that before. Come on, doesn't it sound fun? Ooh, that does sound fun. Perhaps a new cookie will We'll baked with a mix of flavors and souls.
Speaker A
Yes, let's bake it. Let's see what Fortuna has in store. It hurts. [laughter] It hurts.
Speaker A
Help. I don't want to be eaten. Is this me? My voice? No. This is not my voice.
Speaker A
Countless doughs and broken cookies all mixed together. Oh, witches, why have you forsaken us?
Speaker A
It hurts. It hurts so bad. So many cookies. All for the witches' entertainment. What is this taste?
Speaker A
Cookie crumb or raw dough? I can't feel anything. I don't know who I AM ANYMORE.
Speaker A
WHAT WAS I? What were we? Our cookie lives? Must we accept this cruel fate just because we were born as cookies?
Speaker A
No, this is not fair. [screaming] I don't want it to end this way. Our lives, our fate.
Speaker A
Even the witches cannot destroy what we have forged. I know we we cannot be eaten like this.
Speaker A
I can still hear those voices. I have embraced the cries of countless broken cookies, and thus we were born anew.
Speaker A
Only I can do this. I will use the soul jams to create the ultimate cookie.
Speaker A
I will create a being that surpasses the witches [music] and rewrite Cookie Kind's destiny to be eaten by humans.
Speaker A
What lives will cookies live in this new world? What will they do? How far will they go?
Speaker A
No limits, no bounds, no fear. We shall behold a world of infinite freedom. I cast my dough aside.
Speaker A
I do not care what I will become, neither a human nor a cookie. If such is the price for me, uh no, for us to be truly free.
Speaker A
And witness a new world. [laughter] [laughter] [laughter] The Patissier's Arcane Tree. This magical diagram depicts an intricate arcane ritual required to design and bake cookies imbued with life.
Speaker A
From measuring the cookie's composition to mixing and [music] shaping the dough, and eventually baking, too.
Speaker A
To think Dark Enchantress Cookie would go as far as designing the methods to destroy, remake, and even absorb the life energy of living cookies.
Speaker A
Yes, though this magic was originally [music] used by human witches to bake cookies, someone as powerful as her should have been able to replicate it up until the baking [music] stage.
Speaker A
However, the magic required to perform all these steps far exceeds any cookie's capabilities [music] rendering it impossible to perform.
Speaker A
But these papers, they hint at an extensive research to find a way to reach the final stage.
Speaker A
And it looks like [music] they've made quite some progress. Which means Indeed, an immense magic circle has been drawn around [music] this castle, shrouding the entire region.
Speaker A
It must have been a trap intended to bind all those who fall into it and drain them completely of their powers.
Speaker A
No. That means everyone here is in grave danger. Exactly. But it's not just the cookies who fell into the trap.
Speaker A
[music] Cookie Kind and Earthbread as a whole will cease to exist if we don't stop it.
Speaker A
Wizard Cookie, I will infiltrate [music] the castle and find a way to disrupt this magic.
Speaker A
I want you to go warn everyone about Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans [music] and help stop her.
Speaker A
All right. Please, be careful, Espresso Cookie. This place is bound to be extremely dangerous.
Speaker A
Thank you, Wizard Cookie. Yeah, the ground is shaking hard. And I sense a powerful flow of magical energy.
Speaker A
Ah, I'm afraid we're too late. Looks like they have activated the magic circle. Look over there.
Speaker A
A giant silhouette. A witch? I can't believe this. Dark Enchantress Cookie has willingly transcended her cookie form to harness the magic of humans.
Speaker A
But to what end? The cake monsters are going berserk from this overwhelming power. We'll be in grave danger if we stay here any longer.
Speaker A
Let us split up and move. We must stop Dark Enchantress Cookie before IT'S TOO LATE.
Speaker A
[laughter] THIS CANNOT BE. What on Earthbread is that? Dark Enchantress Cookie has turned into a giant.
Speaker A
Is that a witch? Has Dark Enchantress Cookie become a witch? We should have known.
Speaker A
Her plan was to gather the beasts and us in one place so that she can take our soul gems' powers.
Speaker A
How horrifying. Wait. I cannot move my dough at all. And the power of our soul gems, it's being drained away.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie must have [music] crafted this spell to shackle us and drain our powers.
Speaker A
It will not stop until our soul gems are depleted. We're trapped. There has to be something we can do.
Speaker A
A witch? Cookies? That is a witch. Oh no. Oh no no no no. I've never seen anything like that in my entire life.
Speaker A
The ancient heroes are bound by the spell. Even the beasts are trapped in silence.
Speaker A
Unless we do something, Dark Enchantress Cookie will steal their strength. But what what can we do against THAT GIANT WITCH?
Speaker A
[laughter] [laughter] [music] [laughter] I FEEL power coursing through my body. So, this is what it feels like to be a human. Strange.
Speaker A
And yet, exhilarating. Through the eyes of a witch, all those cookies seem so tiny and insignificant.
Speaker A
[screaming] The witch, grab that cookie. Oh, so small, so fragile. Such tiny, adorable things you are.
Speaker A
Perfect for snacking, playing, or crushing. [screaming] Dark Enchantress, stop this. [crying] Are you all right? Quick, you need healing.
Speaker A
What do we do? How can we possibly fight off that monster? Oh. Save us.
Speaker A
Is this truly the end for cookie kind? [laughter] Fear not, little cookies. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Speaker A
This form is merely meant to end this unjust world and usher in a new era.
Speaker A
Once the ultimate cookie is created with the witch's magic, they will change the very idea of who eats cookies and who becomes eaten.
Speaker A
Now, stop being a nuisance and spend some time with my precious pets while I warm up my ultimate oven.
Speaker A
Ah, my little ones look even more adorable through a witch's eyes. [laughter] Crumbs, not one, but two cake monsters?
Speaker A
Take defensive formation. SPLIT INTO TWO BATTALIONS AND FIGHT THEM OFF. Those monsters are dealt with.
Speaker A
[panting] But how do we possibly stand a chance [panting] against Dark Enchantress? She must be preparing something even more sinister. We need to put an end to this madness.
Speaker A
Yes, but it's far too dangerous. Cookies are no match against her. We'll crumble without leaving a scratch.
Speaker A
What do we do? Dark Enchantress, [music] stop this now. Even with the soul gem's power, [music] you know well enough that you cannot maintain this new form.
Speaker A
Ah, you're a vanilla cookie. Looks like my spell failed to stop you from spouting nonsense.
Speaker A
Yes, but you're right. This form is not meant [music] to last forever. But I have more than enough time at my disposal to crush your resistance and create the ultimate cookie.
Speaker A
But even with enough power to complete your creation, how could this ultimate cookie possibly change our world?
Speaker A
No matter how strong they will be, in the end, they will just be like us, a cookie.
Speaker A
Oh, you'd like to know, wouldn't you? Hmm, I suppose it won't hurt to show you a glimpse of the new world that awaits.
Speaker A
Countless souls and doughs, all merged into one, will become the ultimate cookie's body. Yet even completed, the ultimate cookie will keep consuming life energy until all becomes one.
Speaker A
In other words, the ultimate cookie is destined to transcend all limits and gain infinite power.
Speaker A
Consume until all becomes one? Yes, you shall nourish the ultimate cookie, laying the foundation for a new world.
Speaker A
Consider it an honor. And one day, the cookies across the seas will join you.
Speaker A
Wielding absolute power, my creation will surpass all cookies that have ever existed, even the witches.
Speaker A
Preposterous. When the time comes, cookies will finally live [music] in a world where humans no longer exist.
Speaker A
A new world where cookies can be truly free, a paradise for all cookie kind.
Speaker A
Behold the ultimate oven. The primordial [music] flames shall ignite and awaken its Cor ignis, fornakem, accende.
Speaker A
The primordial flames shall ignite and awaken its heart. Cor ignis, fornakem, [music] accende. No, we must stop Dark Enchantress.
Speaker A
Fellow cookies, though you may be scared, we must stay strong and fight. That's small cookie standing against the witch.
Speaker A
That's Wizard Cookie. Dark Enchantress [music] will use the witch's magic to complete the ultimate cookie.
Speaker A
Once this horrifying ritual reaches its final stage [music] and the ultimate cookie is complete, countless cookie lives will be sacrificed and there will be no turning back.
Speaker A
That's why we must do everything in our power to stop her. Pathetic. Did you really think your meager [music] spells would stop me?
Speaker A
Wizard Cookie. We must stop Dark Enchantress. Wizard Cookie, he's badly injured. WE CAN'T GIVE UP NOW.
Speaker A
The fate of cookie kind hangs in the balance. It's a catastrophe. If even the ancient heroes are bound by her spell.
Speaker A
Seems like we don't even have the luxury of being afraid. Do not fear, [music] cookie. Protect our heroes. I shall face Dark Enchantress myself.
Speaker A
May the divine guide our path ahead. We can't let this monster trample all over us and our kingdoms.
Speaker A
Warriors, have we not gathered here today, ready to lay down our lives for our bread?
Speaker A
We are the last bastion in this war. COOKIES, CHARGE. [screaming and groaning] WARRIORS, ATTACK. STOP THAT WITCH.
Speaker A
PATHETIC SOULS, blind to the grand scheme that shapes [music] all things. It seems that words alone cannot make you comprehend my cause.
Speaker A
Cookies are nothing but mere playthings to humans. This is the true nature of the order I so desperately tried to break.
Speaker A
Now, I will make you feel the same bone-chilling despair I felt. [screaming] GUARD, WE MUST STOP HER.
Speaker A
[groaning and screaming] OUR ATTACKS ARE USELESS. But we can at least distract her. Yes. I will cloud her vision.
Speaker A
Witch, taste my smoke. I'll go for her legs. Wild punch. This is most effective. STRIKE HER HEAD.
Speaker A
BLINDING LIGHT. Not a chance. [music] You pathetic You are no match against me. That is enough, witch.
Speaker A
Activating suppression system. Nothing more than a nuisance. Time to crush every last one of you.
Speaker A
You seem to be stronger than [music] the others. But in the end, you're nothing more than a cookie.
Speaker A
Think you can withstand this? Get smoked. You think a little smoke can stop me?
Speaker A
I'll burn you to a crisp with the heat of the oven. [screaming] Fiend, ENOUGH WITH YOUR FOUL TRICKS.
Speaker A
YOUR desperate struggle is quite pitiful. These attacks are but a tickle to me. Oh, cookies. Can you feel it now? The crushing despair of your own insignificance.
Speaker A
Dark enchantress, if you think this will break our spirits, you are gravely mistaken. There are friends waiting for us, values we believe in, and homes we must protect.
Speaker A
As long as there is life in our dough, WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER. Such pity.
Speaker A
I have no choice but to end your life [music] then. Wait. You are STOP THIS, DARK ENCHANTRESS COOKIE.
Speaker A
I I MEAN, DARK ENCHANTRESS. STOP THIS, DARK ENCHANTRESS COOKIE. I I mean, Dark Enchantress.
Speaker A
This is going too far. Why are you hurting all these cookies? Oh, GingerBrave. Of course, of course. I almost forgot about you.
Speaker A
I have been watching you for very long time, ever since I was freed from my confinement.
Speaker A
[laughter] A cookie with no special powers, fragile, yet foolishly brave. [music] For some reason, the witches' recipes all mention a cookie made with bravery as their key ingredient.
Speaker A
The fundamental recipe every witch must begin with. Bravery must be what sparks a cookie's will to live.
Speaker A
As much as I considered you fine material for my ultimate cookie, I never thought you were strong enough to make it this far.
Speaker A
Yet [music] here you are, walking right into my hands. You see, to surpass humans, the ultimate cookie requires both the highs of bravery and the depths of despair.
Speaker A
You are weak and powerless, foolishly brave. Oh, you will do perfectly for that purpose.
Speaker A
Therefore, you shall become my final ingredient. Now despair. Despair at your small, fragile, [music] and sorry state.
Speaker A
Despair at being born a cookie, fated to be devoured. [crying and screaming] Stop. Let go of me. Let go.
Speaker A
Can you feel this dread? The utter helplessness of watching countless cookies crumble away, unable to do anything [music] to avert their doom.
Speaker A
[screaming] Stop it. Stop. Leave my friends alone. Don't you dare hurt them. No. [screaming] No. Please, stop. Please, don't hurt them.
Speaker A
No. Why? All these cookies, so many of [music] my friends, gone in an instant.
Speaker A
That's more like it. Just right to be put in the oven. At last, GingerBrave, the moment has arrived.
Speaker A
You shall be reborn as part of the greater being, the one to end all this suffering.
Speaker A
Am I inside the oven? Dark Enchantress threw me in here. Feels like I'm sinking into dough?
Speaker A
Where am I? It's so dark and damp. Someone is standing over there. A cookie?
Speaker A
Hello GingerBrave. Who are you? Are you the ultimate cookie? Yes. The ultimate cookie is what they called us. [music] The ultimate cookie.
Speaker A
That must mean the ultimate cookie is our name. My name. And your name is GingerBrave.
Speaker A
You know who I am? Of course. [music] Though I've been here all this time, we've heard what's going on outside the oven.
Speaker A
[music] That's why we know. We know you are GingerBrave. The final ingredient to complete us.
Speaker A
Complete you? Yes, GingerBrave. [music] You will be the one to complete us all. We've waited so long in this oven for the day I would be complete.
Speaker A
You see, it takes a lot of courage to step outside. Huh? How come? If you want to leave, just go.
Speaker A
As more of us grew within me over time, my power grew as well. But so did the voices in our head.
Speaker A
Some of us longed to venture outside the oven, while others preferred to stay within it.
Speaker A
The world outside the oven is dangerous, chaotic and unpredictable. That's why it takes [music] great courage to take that step.
Speaker A
But you, Ginger Brave, you've been through it, right? Yeah, I have. Sure, there are dangers, but there are also wonderful things you'd never find inside the oven.
Speaker A
All right, then. Become one with us, Ginger Brave. With you, I will have the courage to escape.
Speaker A
Become one [music] with you? Yes. Together, [music] we will become the perfect cookie, with countless other souls converged as one.
Speaker A
Once you join us, we shall be complete. And we can get out of this oven together.
Speaker A
[music] No. I can't do that. If I become one with you, that means I won't be me.
Speaker A
What? You don't want [music] to join me? Why? Together, we'll become the most perfect and powerful being in existence. [music] Right now, you're just another weak and common cookie.
Speaker A
No. No. No, that's not true. I I like being me. I don't want to become a different cookie. [music] Is that so?
Speaker A
Are you truly happy being yourself? Have you never wished to become [music] someone else?
Speaker A
You have no special powers. Haven't you ever wished to become stronger? To become extraordinary?
Speaker A
W- W- Well, That can't be right. You must have thought about it. [music] Join us, and together, you will do great things.
Speaker A
You will become the most powerful, the most extraordinary cookie of them all, Ginger Brave.
Speaker A
N- No. I [music] need to get out of here. My friends are waiting for me outside the oven.
Speaker A
Your friends? [laughter] Are you talking about those cookies [music] crushed and trampled by the witch?
Speaker A
The ones who are now nothing [music] but cold, hard crumbs? Those friends? Your friends outside the oven [music] are no more.
Speaker A
Don't you remember? They all crumbled before your eyes. No. No. My friends. And it's all your fault.
Speaker A
You were too weak to protect them. It's [music] No. It's not my fault. You disagree?
Speaker A
What were you doing while your friends were getting crushed to pieces right before your eyes?
Speaker A
I No. It's not my fault. Dark Enchantress is evil. Oh yes. She is very evil. [music] But think about it.
Speaker A
If you had been strong enough, you could have stopped her from crumbling your dear friends.
Speaker A
If only I had been stronger. Come now. Unite with me and become strong. You'll become more powerful than Dark Enchantress, enough to strike her back.
Speaker A
Imagine it. The sweet taste of revenge. Doesn't that sound exhilarating? That twisted, evil Dark Enchantress who destroyed your friends.
Speaker A
Soon, she'll be groveling at your feet, begging for mercy. And who knows? You might even bring your crumbled friends back to life with a powerful spell.
Speaker A
Join me, and [music] everything and anything becomes possible. So, what do you say? Anything becomes possible?
Speaker A
There's a way to [music] save my friends? Yes yes. You too can gain the power to achieve anything.
Speaker A
Shape yourself into someone truly special. Power to be special? Yes. That's right. Now, let us unite.
Speaker A
Together, we shall become the ultimate cookie. [groaning] Okay. [music] Yeah. I want to become stronger.
Speaker A
So strong [music] I can protect my friends. I want to be a hero. One who can save the world and make it a better place.
Speaker A
Sometimes, when I see my friends [music] fight their battles, I can't help but feel a little envious.
Speaker A
I feel so little and weak. And my friends always tell me that it's okay.
Speaker A
They tell me I'm great, and I always wondered why. I'm not as strong as the ancient heroes.
Speaker A
I'm not as clever as the cookies of magic. But at the end of the day, I have my dear friends with me.
Speaker A
And each day brings joy and wonder. Ultimate cookie? I may be just a common cookie, but there are things only I can do because [music] I am me.
Speaker A
Not every cookie can be powerful and special. But at the same time, each one is powerful [music] and special in their own way.
Speaker A
So, that's why I'll muster up my bravery once more, even though the world outside this oven is super scary.
Speaker A
Because I'm me and no one else. And I'm going to bust out of this oven.
Speaker A
My name is Ginger Brave. A common cookie, but the bravest of them all. Oh.
Speaker A
Does that mean you won't become [music] one with us? Uh No. Sorry. I I I don't want to.
Speaker A
What? Why? Don't get me wrong. I do want to be strong, especially when I want to protect my friends.
Speaker A
But I don't want to lose who I am. I want to grow stronger as myself. And that's what really matters.
Speaker A
Dark [music] Enchantress said cookies will die once the ultimate cookie is complete. That's horrible. I can't let that happen.
Speaker A
Oh, no. No cookies will die. They will just become one of [music] us and ascend as the ultimate being.
Speaker A
And how beautiful, how glorious and sublime we will become. But that's not what cookies want. There are so many ways to be beautiful and glorious.
Speaker A
[music] I may be weak and not so powerful right now, but I'll keep trying. And [music] one day, I'll become great, too.
Speaker A
[music] [screaming] Silence. You know nothing. [screaming] You are nothing. I knew it. That dimwit never listens to reason. We should have just absorbed him.
Speaker A
No. Forcing the merging is painful. My head feels like it's going to explode. [screaming] It was a mistake to even consider that little nobody to become one of us.
Speaker A
We're perfect without him. Should we crush him into little crumbs? His nonsense will stop once we do.
Speaker A
[laughter] The pain, the fear. What will become of us? Maybe we were never meant to leave the oven after all.
Speaker A
Be quiet. We were so close to convincing him. What went wrong? Who am I?
Speaker A
Why do we even exist? What is it that I truly want? This is horrifying.
Speaker A
Am I losing our minds? I can't take this anymore. No, I must be complete.
Speaker A
I refuse to run away in here without ever seeing the outside world. [music] Words won't work.
Speaker A
There's only one way left. We'll just absorb him BY FORCE. NO. NO. [screaming] NO. I NEED to get OUT OF HERE.
Speaker A
OH NO. GINGERBRAVE HAS FALLEN INTO THE OVEN. I managed to protect the five heroes.
Speaker A
But so many other cookies. No. Oh. I couldn't save them. Once again, I have lost everyone dear to me.
Speaker A
[screaming] [laughter] Do you sense this overwhelming despair? I can feel it feeding the fires of the ultimate oven.
Speaker A
Yes, the moment of completion is at hand. Everything is ready. At last, my long-awaited dream will finally come true.
Speaker A
[laughter] Could this truly be the end of Earthbread? Could peace and laughter truly [music] cease to exist?
Speaker A
After all our doubts, questions, and discoveries? Cookies who make this world a sweeter place, [music] your fate is far from its end.
Speaker A
[music] Huh? Whose voice is this? Your courage and will to protect this world, your dedication and sacrifices are the power that holds it together.
Speaker A
[music] If I could break the laws of this world just once to create a miracle, now is the time. [music] With the power of the purest sugar crystals, I return [music] the sacred life energy into this Earthbread.
Speaker A
I breathe sweetness into the cookies who crumbled in this war-torn land. Oh. The broken doughs [music] are coming back to life.
Speaker A
[music] I must [music] definitely What happened? My scorched [music] dough has healed. The divine's blessing hasn't forsaken me after all.
Speaker A
The fallen cookies are coming back to life. It's a miracle. Oh, Cream Wolf, you're back.
Speaker A
Well, well, Sugar Swan. You dare break your own vows to aid [music] mere cookies, and you call yourself the herald of life?
Speaker A
Do you not fear the price for shattering the balance of nature, oh guardian? Protecting the world with all their might is the sworn duty of the guardians of nature.
Speaker A
But if it means stopping great evil from destroying the very world, [music] I will gladly pay the price that must be paid.
Speaker A
Dark enchantress, you who have stepped beyond the forbidden countless times, [music] sowing chaos and ruin, you who even tried to corrupt me with your darkness, it may well be my final duty as a guardian of nature, but I shall stop you
Speaker A
here and now. Bold words for a little bird. Sugar Swan, GingerBrave fell into the ultimate oven.
Speaker A
Yes, I saw it with my own eyes while flying above, but I was too late.
Speaker A
I rushed to draw power from [music] the sweet spring of life as soon as I sensed grave danger.
Speaker A
Alas, it took long to gather enough to save everyone. We must rescue GingerBrave from [music] the oven if we want to prevent the creation of the ultimate cookie.
Speaker A
I will hold [music] Dark Enchantress back. Go and save your friend. Fool. You think you can stop me?
Speaker A
How? Just as day [music] turns into night and back into day, just as water rises to become rain that falls from the sky, I guide [music] the very cycle of life and possess both the power to give life
Speaker A
and to take it away. You must know this well, you who placed your vile curse upon [music] me to gain hold over my magic.
Speaker A
Using this dark power bestowed upon me is too part of my duty. [music] Foul creature of darkness, who dares disturb the peace of our world?
Speaker A
I command you to relinquish your undeserved life energy back to the Earthbread. What is the meaning of this?
Speaker A
Cookie or witch, all stand equal before the force of gravity. Dark enchantress, you shall pay for the evil you have wrought upon us.
Speaker A
The laws of nature dictate that all shall return to the Earthbread. Thus, I shall break your curse and cleanse this land.
Speaker A
[screaming] Giant Dark Enchantress, she's finally fallen and helpless. Now's our chance. We must save GingerBrave and stop the oven while the witch is down.
Speaker A
Yes, yes, let's hurry. All cookies who can still move, RUN TO THAT GIANT OVEN NOW!
Speaker A
[screaming] You little brat. How dare you humiliate me? Even the mightiest cannot defy the laws of nature.
Speaker A
The weight of sin crushing you is one of your own making. Did you really think your little gravity trick could hold me down?
Speaker A
Those who dare disrupt my plans shall feel their doughs TORN ASUNDER. [screaming] AH. Such power, such darkness.
Speaker A
My body is being torn apart inside and out. [screaming] If I release her from the gravity shackles [music] and fly to the skies, I could evade her dark storm, but set Dark Enchantress free again.
Speaker A
No, the stakes are already too great. For the sake of cookiekind, for peaceful life on Earthbread, I must stop that witch and bind her powers once and for all.
Speaker A
[laughter] To think someone would dare transform into a witch [music] and to actually succeed in making such a twisted idea reality.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie is far more dangerous than [music] anyone could have anticipated. She must be stopped here at all costs.
Speaker A
Maintaining that enormous form must require tremendous power. That's why she created that magic circle.
Speaker A
She needs to absorb the strength [music] of other cookies. That means if I can disrupt the magic circle before it's too late, we might be able to stop her horrendous plan.
Speaker A
There's no time to waste. This spell breaks down a cookie's [music] life energy through multiple stages, absorbs it, and then reconstructs it anew.
Speaker A
The magic is far too complex for any cookie to fully comprehend, but there must be a stage in the process where the refined energy is accumulated before it's transferred to Dark Enchantress Cookie.
Speaker A
If I can locate the core and destroy it, that should buy us some more time.
Speaker A
The flow of life energy should lead me right to it. As expected, it's converging [music] toward the inner sanctum of the castle.
Speaker A
[groaning] And now I just [music] have to fight through this horde of cake monsters.
Speaker A
Oh, my granny cookie. What's that? [sighs] Big. Oh, Dark Enchantress Cookie. So, this was your plan all along.
Speaker A
That's a witch? Did Dark Enchantress Cookie just become a witch? Yeah, Pomegranate Cookie, are you sure this is really okay? I mean, sure, we dabble in the forbidden arts here and there, but this Oh, darkness supreme.
Speaker A
You transcend the limits of cookiehood, and rightfully so. Ever so grand, ever so wondrous.
Speaker A
Wow, Dark Enchantress Cookie. So tall. Oh, she's going to need the biggest trumies. Oh, Pomegranate Cookie, what's going to happen to us now?
Speaker A
I thought our [music] plan was to complete the ultimate cookie and take down those bratty heroes and their lackeys.
Speaker A
What's with that witch form? Yeah, that's too much. Silence. Dark Enchantress Cookie always has a plan. Don't you dare question her intentions.
Speaker A
Ah, but So, even you didn't know what she was truly planning. I did not.
Speaker A
Master only told me about the absorption magic circle and nothing more about what comes after.
Speaker A
Naturally, Dark Enchantress Cookie had her reasons, for her will is my command beyond question or doubt.
Speaker A
Make no mistake. Every cookie here has been saved and blessed by her darkness herself.
Speaker A
I would have been trapped in my cold, dark confinement, oppressed until the end of my days if it weren't for Dark Enchantress [music] Cookie.
Speaker A
Master broke the chains that bound me. She freed me and promised me a whole new world, and that promise is what kept me going all this time.
Speaker A
I would do whatever it takes, even if it means breaking every taboo, to stand by her side and witness the new world of her creation.
Speaker A
Oh, Pomegranate Cookie. If that is the case, it may be time for us to part ways.
Speaker A
What did you just say? I, too, was born into this [music] body on the night of the witches.
Speaker A
I, too, owe my existence to Dark Enchantress Cookie, but she has gone too far.
Speaker A
I wished to rebuild this world, but this isn't what I envisioned. I, too, was there with Dark Enchantress Cookie. I witnessed the true terror of the witches and the ultimate despair of standing before them.
Speaker A
And that is precisely why her decision to become a human witch is beyond my understanding.
Speaker A
I won't stand in your way, [music] but I will take my leave together with my cake legion.
Speaker A
[laughter] Fool. Do as you please. Now that Dark Enchantress Cookie has transcended her cookie form, we have no need for a traitor like you.
Speaker A
You deserve no place in the new world she will create. Say what you want.
Speaker A
May this new world give you what you wish. Red Velvet Cookie. He's gone. Can't eat trumies together no more?
Speaker A
Oh, Pomegranate Cookie. There's someone's inside. What? A cookie? An intruder in the castle? I It's that coffee cookie.
Speaker A
How did he manage to get past our defenses? Everyone, go and stop that cookie.
Speaker A
The magic circle must be protected. There's simply no end to them. They've stalled me long enough.
Speaker A
There must be a faster way to locate the core. A close call. Yeah, he dodged my hammer.
Speaker A
Hmm, just when I was having trouble [music] finding my way. A cake monster with the gift of speech.
Speaker A
What? Monster? You flat piece of cookie dough. I am Choco Werehound Brute. Aha, I see that I must defeat you in order to have a proper conversation.
Speaker A
No more crumbs. Now then, let's talk, shall we? There's something I need to find in this castle.
Speaker A
We're not over yet. W- What? Good grief. It doesn't look like [music] I can reason with him in this state.
Speaker A
That was unexpected. Such a sudden surge in power. Without my magic candy, I would have been done for.
Speaker A
[music] He's knocked out. How uncooperative. I was hoping to obtain [music] a clue about the castle's structure.
Speaker A
I guess there's no other choice. I must follow the flow of life energy once again.
Speaker A
This fortress is absolutely [music] crawling with monsters. The energy flow splits here. Now, which path should I take?
Speaker A
No point in mulling this over. I'll just have to pick one and see where it takes me.
Speaker A
Hmm? [groaning] A giant fire-breathing hound? Curiouser and curiouser. Did I take it [music] then down?
Speaker A
My Cake Berus. I won't let you hurt Cake Berus any further. Identify yourself. Now.
Speaker A
Ah, finally. A cookie capable of proper conversation. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Espresso Cookie.
Speaker A
Anyone who threatens my army will face my wrath. Are there any desserts here who can be reasoned with?
Speaker A
How dare you? Please, calm down. I assure you it's [music] never been my intention to fight you or that enormous dog.
Speaker A
Then what are you doing here? You serve Dark Enchantress Cookie, don't you? Do you realize the true scope of her machinations?
Speaker A
She has used forbidden magic to siphon the power of the soul jam and other cookies' life energy, transforming herself into a human witch.
Speaker A
And with the witches' magic, she will ultimately drain the power [music] of every cookie in this world.
Speaker A
That would effectively terminate Earthbread's existence. Don't you understand? You may serve Dark Enchantress Cookie, but in the world crumbled by her hand, there will be no place [music] for a cookie like you.
Speaker A
Or your enormous pup. You're being manipulated. My only aim is to locate the core of this forbidden magic [music] circle and stop it before it's too late. I suggest that you cooperate or at least don't make my mission more difficult.
Speaker A
Now, do you happen to know which way I should go to reach [music] my target?
Speaker A
I see. Just as I suspected. I get your point. Truth be told, I was about to leave this place myself.
Speaker A
What you're looking for should be somewhere in that [music] direction. The magic circle rests upon the central pillar that supports the castle. [music] It is located somewhere on the upper levels. That is all I know.
Speaker A
Well, you look like you're quite familiar with magic. It should be enough for you to locate it.
Speaker A
Yes, that should do it. Thank you. [music] Now, I have a magic circle to disrupt.
Speaker A
So, if you'll excuse me. That's right, Cake Hound. Everything's all right now. Perhaps it's for the best for all of you.
Speaker A
Come on, let's go. CAKE HOUND, CHIFFON. THANKFULLY [music] IT seems he didn't lie. I can feel the magic presence growing stronger. [music] I must be getting very close by now.
Speaker A
[laughter] That voice. Someone's approaching. I have no more time to waste. I should hide and let them pass.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie has become a witch. The witch's magic. That's right. They called me a failure. Mocked me.
Speaker A
They looked down on me. Yes, they will. [laughter] Who is a failure now? [screaming] What was that cookie mumbling about?
Speaker A
How odd. I sense powerful magic [music] emanating from where that cookie appeared. Could that be the source I'm looking for?
Speaker A
Yes, this is it. The core of the magic circle. Looking at its sheer size, dismantling it won't be easy.
Speaker A
Mhm. The structure is incredibly complex. So, this part must be where the absorbed power [music] is collected and accumulated.
Speaker A
And this section must be stabilizing and sustaining the circle itself. Which would make this part the transmitting section?
Speaker A
Ugh. The world will have turned to crumbs by the time I finish deciphering this formula.
Speaker A
Hey there, intruder friend. Want to try some shroomies? Ugh. When did you Oh, intruders aren't our friend, Poison Mushroom Cookie. Get it together.
Speaker A
Rise, my faithful licorice servants. Heed your master's will and stop that intruder. I really have no time for this.
Speaker A
Owie. It hurts. Bad. Bad intruder. You're no friend of mine. Ugh. Why are you so strong?
Speaker A
I was able to withstand that attack thanks to my magic candy, [music] but I've already lost too much time.
Speaker A
What should I do? Poison Mushroom Cookie, it's time for plan P. Fill this place with poison clouds like Pomegranate Cookie said.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. Yes, like Pomegranate [music] Cookie said. Shroomies for so many shroomies for happy mushroom dance.
Speaker A
The entire floor is filling up with toxic [music] clouds. I can't work in these conditions.
Speaker A
I can't breathe. [cough] I need to get out of here first. What to do?
Speaker A
I can't get back in there. Ugh. Another enemy? Out of my way. Yeah. Crumbs.
Speaker A
Now, now, everyone. Let's keep it civilized. I have no reason to fight any of you.
Speaker A
Who are you? You don't seem to be a cookie from around here. I am Espresso.
Speaker A
I came here to stop Dark Enchantress Cookie's magic, which is about to destroy Cookie [music] Kind.
Speaker A
[screaming] It hurts so much. Pompon Dough Cookie is in bad shape. We need to restore her energy. Quickly.
Speaker A
Tch. If you're not going to fight us, then [music] get out of our way. We are out of energy and we need the magic circle's power now.
Speaker A
But that magic circle is fueling Dark Enchantress Cookie's power. It has to be stopped.
Speaker A
It won't take long for us to replenish our strength. Do what you want after that.
Speaker A
We've defied Dark Enchantress Cookie's orders. Now we have to run away. We're not on her side.
Speaker A
She created us, and made us suffer our entire lives. Held us against [music] our will.
Speaker A
I would have this wretched castle burned down. But we need to regain our strength first.
Speaker A
Then we're getting out of here as fast as we can. Burn down the entire castle?
Speaker A
Yes. That just might work. Ow. It hurts. It hurts. Venom Dough Cookie, we don't have time.
Speaker A
Let us through, Espresso Cookie. My friend doesn't have much time left. Very well. But I will bring this place [music] down soon. So, grab whatever you need and get out of here right away.
Speaker A
The fate of Cookie Kind is on the brink. Act fast, as I barely have any time to spare.
Speaker A
No matter. Once our strength returns, we'll be faster and stronger than you think. Thank you for understanding, Espresso Cookie.
Speaker A
And I truly hope you succeed. Make Dark Enchantress Cookie pay. Give her exactly what she deserves.
Speaker A
Of course. This is one of those times where the crudest methods work the best.
Speaker A
No castle, no magic circle. No magic circle, no power for Dark Enchantress Cookie. I just need to bring [music] down the castle itself.
Speaker A
Then the weakest spot in the structure would be right here. What you're looking for should be somewhere in that direction.
Speaker A
The magic circle rests upon the central pillar that supports the castle. It is located somewhere on the upper levels.
Speaker A
That is all I know. Now, the question is, how am I supposed to destroy this [music] massive, sturdy pillar?
Speaker A
Perhaps grinding. As expected, my magic is better suited for battling cookies or monsters. It's not meant [music] for tearing down entire buildings.
Speaker A
This would have been much easier if the ancient cookies with their soul gems were here.
Speaker A
Soul gems? That's right. I have my magic candy imbued with their power. My magic candy enhances my [music] coffee spells, which won't do the trick on their own.
Speaker A
But if I can detonate the power condensed within it instead, it should release enough force to deal serious damage to the castle.
Speaker A
All right. I've never intentionally detonated [music] a magic candy before, so I can't be certain but it's definitely worth a shot.
Speaker A
Okay, the magic candy is in place. Now, I must focus my perfect extraction spell at its core to release THE SOUL GEM'S POWER.
Speaker A
[music] Sugar Swan is in grave danger, completely defenseless against Dark Enchantress's dark frenzy. She can't hold on much longer. She needs our help.
Speaker A
Oh, if it weren't for this spell, [music] I could do something. Pure Vanilla Cookie, I will aid Sugar Swan with my light shield.
Speaker A
Financier Cookie, please protect Sugar Swan. Oh, divine light, guide us. NOW, DESTROY THAT OVEN.
Speaker A
GINGERBRAVE! GINGERBRAVE! GINGERBRAVE! Get away from the oven, you little pest. Your pathetic meddling will not change anything.
Speaker A
For my grand scheme is far beyond your comprehension. [laughter] [screaming] [screaming] Her screams. My head feels like IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE.
Speaker A
MY MIND. HELP! EVERYONE, COVER YOUR EARS. GET OUT OF HERE NOW! THIS DARK FORCE is too powerful.
Speaker A
Even the light shield won't hold much longer. Please, a bit more. I must keep Dark Enchantress [music] contained.
Speaker A
No, Sugar Swan! Please no. Divine, save us. I have no more strength left. I can't hold on any longer.
Speaker A
Seems like even the laws of nature couldn't bind me. Oh no. Dark Enchantress is free.
Speaker A
You have failed, little bird. It was foolish of me to try to make you cookies understand.
Speaker A
After all, you don't even know the reason for your existence. Now, I see that your lives are nothing but a waste.
Speaker A
I shall ground you all to crumbs and throw you into the ultimate oven. This is your fate, the freedom I bestow upon you.
Speaker A
Embrace it with joy. Whoa, what is that? There was a giant explosion from the castle.
Speaker A
Could it be Espresso Cookie? I had no choice but to detonate the magic candy to stop the spell. [music] The explosion was far more powerful than I anticipated.
Speaker A
I almost got caught up in the blast. Time to make my escape while destroying everything beyond repair.
Speaker A
Oh, I can finally move again. The spell has been broken. Espresso Cookie really did it.
Speaker A
Finally, we are free. It's our time to join the battle. I will not allow any more of our allies to crumble.
Speaker A
Pure Vanilla Cookie, are you all right? What a relief. There is not much left of my soul gem, but I'm not injured.
Speaker A
What of Sugar Swan? She has fallen from exhaustion, but my shield and [music] the protection of the divines spared her from any fatal wounds.
Speaker A
Thank goodness. Allow me to heal her. [sighs] Oh, great guardian of [music] nature, we are all in your debt.
Speaker A
You've saved so many cookies today. We will protect Earthbread from now on. Oh! What was that explosion?
Speaker A
My spell is no longer absorbing the soul gem's power. I've almost drained my strength in that last fight.
Speaker A
Without the soul gems, my plan will Pomegranate Cookie, what happened to my magic circle?
Speaker A
Master, I'm afraid it was destroyed in a massive explosion. I suspect an infiltrator to the castle, that Coffee Cookie, is behind this.
Speaker A
Restore it now! I am running out of time. My power is nearly deflated. As you command, master.
Speaker A
Everyone, now is our chance. We must strike WHILE DARK ENCHANTRESS IS CUT off from the power of the soul gems.
Speaker A
I will heal the wounded first. Everyone, keep Dark Enchantress [music] at bay. Don't worry. My shield is still as sturdy as ever.
Speaker A
I am ready for battle as well. Dark Enchantress, you will pay for what YOU'VE DONE.
Speaker A
HIYA! WELL, THE ancient heroes are so fearless. Now, our task is simple. We must rescue Gingerbrave from that oven, no matter what it takes.
Speaker A
No matter how far I run, there's no way out. Where is that door? Why do you keep running off?
Speaker A
Don't you understand? You're already part of our dough. Get away from me. Pointless. You're simply wasting your energy.
Speaker A
Accept your fate. GET INTO THE DOUGH! LET GO! GIVE UP, GINGERBRAVE. Join us. The Their thoughts are sneaking into my head. Stop thinking. Stop thinking. Stop thinking. Just run!
Speaker A
LEAVE ME ALONE! You really are stubborn, huh? When are you going TO GET IN?
Speaker A
THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY OUT. [music] OH, NO. Can't run anymore. Oh, Gingerbrave, you're awake.
Speaker A
Where am I? You were inside the oven. Oh, yes. Your dough is still trapped there.
Speaker A
[music] But now, you are in a world where spirits dwell. Think of it like a world of your dreams.
Speaker A
Spirits? Wait. Oh, no. Am I dead? Oh, no, no. Not yet. [laughter] Though your soul was nearly destroyed by the consuming darkness, you are still [music] alive.
Speaker A
Oh phew. So, what is this place? And why am I here? This is Bravery Hill, a place where the souls of all cookies baked with the same recipe cross paths.
Speaker A
Cookie [music] souls come to this place after the end of their mortal life. However, in some rare cases like [music] yours, when facing grave danger or unusual magical circumstances, some might find [music] themselves here as well.
Speaker A
All of our souls share the one same recipe, including you, GingerBrave. The same recipe?
Speaker A
That's right. A recipe is a collection [music] of ingredients and methods that witches use to bake cookies, carefully written down for others to follow.
Speaker A
All cookies sharing [music] a single recipe, the same origin, possess similar looks and flavor.
Speaker A
Their souls are [music] connected, just like ours. You're made with the same recipe as me?
Speaker A
Hm. I guess we kind [music] of do look alike. Huh. Don't you recognize me?
Speaker A
Oh, I'm sure you've seen me before. [music] Yeah. You're right. You look familiar somehow.
Speaker A
Hm. Oh, I know. That little giant [music] statue that looked just like me. Was that you?
Speaker A
That's right. I was starting to worry you wouldn't remember. Thank you [music] for restoring my statue, GingerBrave. It means the world to me.
Speaker A
As a nameless cookie, I embarked on an adventure with my friends to defeat the dragon and protect [music] everyone.
Speaker A
Cookies made that statue to commemorate what I did. Wow. That's so cool. Hm. But that statue seemed really old.
Speaker A
Little giant cookie, how did you end up here? Again, you're right. I was baked [music] long, long before you came to be.
Speaker A
Kingdoms didn't exist back in my adventuring days. When my life energy faded away, my dough grew hard and stale.
Speaker A
[music] It was a long time ago. I've been here at Bravery Hill ever since.
Speaker A
Whoa. But why did you stay [music] here for so long? Usually spirits stay here only for a little [music] while before they go back into the world as a new life or return to nature.
Speaker A
But I decided to remain here because I love listening to the stories told by everyone who passes through.
Speaker A
Besides [music] from time to time, I get to help other brave cookies like you who find themselves in peril during their adventures.
Speaker A
Come now, GingerBrave. There's no time [music] to waste. You can't stay here for long. There are still so many adventures awaiting you.
Speaker A
You must have gone through quite [music] an ordeal to end up here, but you have to get back up.
Speaker A
Gather your strength [music] and keep running forward. Oh, yeah. That's right. I got lost inside the ultimate oven and almost got my soul taken away.
Speaker A
That was super dangerous. It took all my [music] bravery to run as far as I could, but in the end, the ultimate cookie caught me.
Speaker A
And my friends [music] outside, they're all hurt or crumbled. If I return, can I really change anything?
Speaker A
I I guess I'm just a simple cookie after all. Not strong, not super smart, either.
Speaker A
Oh GingerBrave you may seem ordinary, but that's exactly what makes you special. The recipe that brought us into this world dates [music] back to the ancient times when the witches first baked living cookies.
Speaker A
Our recipe belonged to the very first cookie who dared to escape from the oven [music] and forged their own fate.
Speaker A
Bravery was one of their key ingredients, and the witches named [music] it the brave cookie recipe.
Speaker A
The recipe has become the foundation upon which all other witches built recipes of their own.
Speaker A
Oh. Countless cookies [music] have been created since then. Some of them much more powerful than that first one.
Speaker A
Cookie kind has spread across the whole wide world, built great kingdoms, and wrote entire histories but it all began [music] when a common, ordinary cookie found the courage to break free from the oven and run away.
Speaker A
That single brave step [music] marked the beginning of everything. Huh. A single [music] brave step started it all?
Speaker A
The cookie world was not shaped by a single cookie. [music] It was built by many who gathered their bravery and went forward [music] step by step.
Speaker A
Despite all the failures and doubts, we rose back time and time [music] again, protected our homes, and paved the way into the future.
Speaker A
GingerBrave, you may be ordinary, but that's exactly what makes your courage shine even brighter.
Speaker A
Every step you take inspires others to join [music] you and move forward together. Your dear friends are waiting eagerly [music] to see the light of your bravery once again.
Speaker A
My friends are waiting for me? Of course. Listen carefully, GingerBrave. [music] Everything on Earthbread is linked.
Speaker A
Although we may [music] exist in different times and places, we are connected, giving strength to each other.
Speaker A
Keep your bravery. Never give up, and the path will open before you. Now, close your eyes and listen.
Speaker A
Your friends are calling [music] out to you from the outside, never giving up hope.
Speaker A
Follow their voices. They will guide you. The voices of my friends? GINGERBRAVE! GINGERBRAVE! GINGERBRAVE!
Speaker A
HUH. [music] It's faint, but I can hear them. Good. Good. Time to head back home, GingerBrave.
Speaker A
You can tell me all about [music] your adventures next time we meet. Remember, we are connected.
Speaker A
Our strength is yours, too. Thank you so much. Your story [music] lifted me up when I was about to fall.
Speaker A
I think I get what I what we mean to this world. All right. It's time for me to burst out of this oven again.
Speaker A
I refuse to be eaten. Okay. We're back and running. Remember your bravery. You've done it a million times.
Speaker A
Just run like you never fell in the first place. Run like the wind. Yeah!
Speaker A
[screaming] [music] Yeah! [crying] GingerBrave, we thought you finally surrendered. Wait GingerBrave. Don't go! Ah!
Speaker A
Let me go! I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE! [laughter] [music] YOU THINK THAT will make me us give up on you?
Speaker A
Our completion? YOU'RE A GOOD COOKIE. GIVE US your bravery! No! No! They're They're everywhere! Stop!
Speaker A
No! No! I can't give up! I must escape! I know GingerBrave is in there trying to escape.
Speaker A
He needs our help. Let's get him out of the oven. Strawberry Cookie, the oven is too big and sturdy for us to break.
Speaker A
Even the smallest help counts. Anything for GingerBrave. If we can't break down the door, [music] what if we make a small gap?
Speaker A
Maybe we could get a message through. Get something through the gap. Yes! That might just work. It might be possible.
Speaker A
Let's see. Madeleine Cookie, I have a favor to ask. Anything. Wedge your sword [music] into the gap between the doors. Yes, right there.
Speaker A
Got it. Light, guide my blade. Yes! It worked! Good. Wildberry Cookie, drive the blade deeper inside.
Speaker A
Got it. Wild punch! All right. Now I'll channel my magic through the sword. MAGIC STORM!
Speaker A
THE current will spread to the deepest corners of the oven. Now our voices will reach the depths.
Speaker A
GingerBrave! You can do this. Do not give up. You can overcome anything. Come back.
Speaker A
Come back to us, GingerBrave. GingerBrave, you showed me No. You showed us. When you're afraid and hurting, it takes true courage to face your fears and keep moving forward.
Speaker A
So Run, GingerBrave! Run! You cannot escape. We are destined to become one. Accept it, GingerBrave.
Speaker A
Let go of me. Let go! [laughter] Yes. Yes. This is it. Your balanced bravery and despair, they will complete us at last.
Speaker A
No! No! No! No! What is this weird feeling coursing through my dough? Ouch! What was that?
Speaker A
Huh? Could it be? Wizard Cookie's lightning spell? [screaming] The Ultimate Cookie got weaker. Now's my chance.
Speaker A
RUN, GINGERBRAVE! RUN! My friends are waiting for me. I need to go. Yeah! No GingerBrave!
Speaker A
Don't do this! [music] Yeah! [music] GingerBrave has abandoned me. GingerBrave left [music] us behind.
Speaker A
[panting] [music] But we have connected. Our encounter [music] changed everything. The courage you showed me, the despair you made me feel, even if you leave, [music] you will forever remain in us.
Speaker A
And we'll forever remain in you. In the end, all cookies are linked. Next [music] time, we'll meet outside the oven, GingerBrave.
Speaker A
Yeah! Here I come! [music] GingerBrave! Oh GingerBrave. It must have been a tremendous [music] peril, but you overcame it with such courage.
Speaker A
It's so good to see you all again, friends. I almost lost myself to the [music] Ultimate Cookie, but I came back to my senses thanks to you.
Speaker A
I followed the light shining from the outside and found a way. You saved me.
Speaker A
My plan is nearing completion. The beginning of a new world lies right before me.
Speaker A
Yet you dare ruin my grand design, one you can't possibly comprehend, you pathetic little crumbs?
Speaker A
GingerBrave, you should have accepted your fate to become one with the Ultimate Cookie. And yet you crawled out, so defiant, so stubborn.
Speaker A
I will gladly grind you to dust and make sure you never escape the oven again.
Speaker A
The villainess is coming BACK [music] WITH ANOTHER ATTACK. We must stop her. WE CANNOT LET DARK ENCHANTRESS TAKE GINGERBRAVE AGAIN.
Speaker A
GINGERBRAVE, get behind us. It is time we showed our bravery. Such persistence from worthless pests.
Speaker A
If you're all so eager to crumble together, I will gladly oblige. Your courage has rewritten the current of fate. The guidance of nature [music] will be at your side.
Speaker A
When facing destiny itself, fear not. The Guardians of Nature [music] are protecting GingerBrave. How?
Speaker A
How dare you? You meddlesome insects. How dare you stand in my way? I I need more power. I must gain more power to crush them all.
Speaker A
Pomegranate Cookie, where are you? POMEGRANATE COOKIE! MASTER, I am here. Are you all right?
Speaker A
The magic circle. Why isn't it siphoning the soul jam's powers? Your Darkness Supreme, the magic circle, its core has been destroyed beyond repair.
Speaker A
We failed you, Master. It seems the intruder figured out your magic formula and made sure the damage was irreversible.
Speaker A
Without it, my plan is doomed. I need power. I need more power. Yes, Agar Agar Cookie. Where is she?
Speaker A
I can use the power of the elementals she has gathered. Yes Master. Channel all her power at once and create a dimensional rift.
Speaker A
I shall draw the dark energy from other dimensions. Everything I ate, [sighs and gasps] all right ones, when it's over, Pomegranate Cookie will give me more yummies.
Speaker A
Yes. My hunger, my pain, will be gone. Let it all out. Let it pour out.
Speaker A
[laughter] [laughter] Come forth, creatures lost in the folds of space and time. Grant me the dark power of all despair from this world and beyond.
Speaker A
[music] At last, the hour of reckoning. At last, the hour of reckoning. Corrupted demons, wretched beasts, you have served your purpose. May eternal silence claim your souls.
Speaker A
Rise, Knights of Kalamity. We stand ready to follow your orders, Lord Commander. Dark Enchantress has torn a rift between worlds. The moment has come to fulfill our destiny.
Speaker A
Forward, Nox Black Salt. Knights of Calanalic, your long silence IS FINALLY BROKEN. FOLLOW MY LEAD.
Speaker A
YES, Lord Commander. [groaning] End of silence. Knights, hold the tear open. Do not LET THE RIFT CLOSE.
Speaker A
OH, Silent Almond Cookie. Your little tricks won't change anything. But you, I shall make you pay.
Speaker A
Go, Silver Fork. PIERCE THAT ABOMINATION AND BRING JUDGMENT UPON HER SOUL. THINK you can stop a witch?
Speaker A
This is nothing. Lord Commander, that fork is Do not waste a moment on me.
Speaker A
We must protect the dimensional rift to stop Dark Enchantress. What is in the rift for you?
Speaker A
What are you plotting? Wait, IT CAN'T BE. ALMOND BRITTLE COOKIE, AGAR-AGAR COOKIE, shield the rift now.
Speaker A
I I can't. The Spirit Knights are holding the rift open. We cannot close it.
Speaker A
You little vermins, I will burn you all to ashes. [sighs] What on earth, Red? [music] That must be part of her plan.
Speaker A
You mean to say this is White Lily Cookie's handywork? Yes. I can feel her power resonating beyond the rift.
Speaker A
It is time to make our move. [screaming] [music] [music] [screaming] What have you done?
Speaker A
White Lily Cookie. What is this? Cookie kind's suffering. All of it. To put [crying] an end to your evil.
Speaker A
You You dare? You think you can stop me? I will crush all that stands in my way.
Speaker A
Everything. I will crush it all to dust. What? Just crumble already. What? What is happening?
Speaker A
Get Get away from me. A being of destiny formed by countless souls of fallen cookies.
Speaker A
Their spirits gathered as one in the deepest crevices of space and time. Victims of their creator's torment.
Speaker A
This being is born of resentment for the witches. It will not stop nor vanish until you, a witch perish.
Speaker A
Impossible. I I have ascended beyond the limits of a mere cookie. You cannot stop me.
Speaker A
I will tear you to shreds. Ah! [screaming] No. Dark Enchantress, we we end here.
Speaker A
In the name of the Noble Guardian, protector of this world, I call upon the ancient power of nature passed down through eons.
Speaker A
With the deep-rooted will of ever blooming life, I shackle this spawn of darkness. Huh?
Speaker A
Oh! Get away from me. Away! No! This cannot be happening. I was so close. The new world was within my grasp.
Speaker A
White Lily Cookie, you are nothing but a fragment of my soul. And you dare stand in my way?
Speaker A
You are part of me. Did you forget? You cannot exist without me. I know.
Speaker A
You and I, we both know that we will sacrifice everything to achieve our goals.
Speaker A
Ah! I should not [music] have let you to live. You are nothing but a reminder of my weak past self.
Speaker A
A TINY STAIN on my grand design. Come now, White Lily Cookie. It is time to end this once and for all.
Speaker A
No. This place is Dark Enchantress Cookie's soul. Yes, White Lily Cookie. Let us end this battle between you and me right here.
Speaker A
[music] All this time, your soul has been trapped in this chaos and suffering. Yes, you are right.
Speaker A
Ever since that day we fell into the witches' dough, that despair unending, I haven't been freed from this torment, not for a single moment.
Speaker A
All this time, one single truth plagued my thoughts like a disease, that our purpose is to be devoured in crumbles, to be mere playthings in the witches' hands.
Speaker A
Creating a new world where cookies can truly be free, breaking away from the gruesome fate.
Speaker A
That was my plan and yours. After all, we were once one and the same.
Speaker A
Yet now, you, a part of my soul, stand against me despite knowing the horrifying truth.
Speaker A
You block my path as if you forgotten. Why? Yes. You're right. You are me and I am you.
Speaker A
I won't deny the truth and the despair we both felt. However, because of your twisted ambition rooted in that very despair, far too many lives were lost.
Speaker A
Even though our hearts yearned for true freedom for Cookie kind, our methods were wrong.
Speaker A
Wrong? You say wrong? Then perhaps the cookie-eating humans are right. Weak. So painfully weak. The sight of my own weakness sickens me.
Speaker A
No. You are the weak one, not I. You claimed to fight for freedom to shatter the very foundations of our being.
Speaker A
And yet, your plan demands the sacrifice of countless lives. You knew well enough that it wasn't right.
Speaker A
But you couldn't give up on your plan. So simple, so effective, but terribly twisted and wrong.
Speaker A
You chose a single path that only served you, and willingly cast aside all other possibilities.
Speaker A
The possibilities that could be created by working together. The questions that could have brought far better answers than you alone could ever imagine.
Speaker A
You lacked the courage to face those questions. You felt despair in a world beyond your control. You were afraid. You were weak.
Speaker A
That's why your solution was to force your dark vision upon this world. Even if it meant sacrificing the lives of every other cookie in existence.
Speaker A
Silence! [music] You, a mere reflection of that disgusting weakness. How dare you? I see it now, clear as day.
Speaker A
The unlimited potential of countless voices united is far greater than the twisted freedom of one.
Speaker A
Here you are, standing alone, while I have Cookie kind's hopes by my side. You will never, no, can never defeat me.
Speaker A
Is that so? Then let's see whose conviction remains standing after our battle. I lost?
Speaker A
How could this be? Dark Enchantress Cookie, this is where your evil ends. No. No, no. Impossible.
Speaker A
My dreams, the freedom I longed for. Even if your journey ends here, the freedom you dreamed of will live on.
Speaker A
Cookie kind will live on with us in the past. And someday, they will find a better path to true freedom.
Speaker A
True freedom? But even if they succeed, even if this dream bears fruit, we will never live to see that world, as we will cease to exist here.
Speaker A
And you accept it? Have you forgotten the hopelessness we felt at the banquet of the witches?
Speaker A
The horror of being trapped [music] in the dough? To vanish watching that despair without a chance to touch this true freedom?
Speaker A
Is that not the cruelest fate of all? I [music] I long to see it, too.
Speaker A
A world of freedom where all truths come to light. But that doesn't give us the right to treat cookie lives as means to any of our goals.
Speaker A
I believe that ending our journey here will become the foundation of Cookie kind's freedom.
Speaker A
We've committed far too many sins and mistakes. I will accept my fate. And I will erase you from existence.
Speaker A
This is our atonement wrought. Ah! No! Ah! Ah! My body is crumbling. Just like that day when I lost myself inside that dough.
Speaker A
What could have gone wrong? Where did I make a mistake? The freedom I yearned for so desperately.
Speaker A
In the end, I never even reached [music] its edges. What was it that I missed?
Speaker A
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] The witch has vanished. So, everything will be all right now?
Speaker A
We we did it. We stopped Dark Enchantress. Does this mean Cookie kind is finally safe?
Speaker A
I [panting] I suppose it is. I can't believe it. We really won. At last, our atonement is complete.
Speaker A
Spirits who suffered at the hands of the witches, the time has come for you to find freedom and return to nature.
Speaker A
And now, it is my turn to break free. White Lily Cookie! White Lily Cookie?
Speaker A
Something's wrong. She's crumbling away. White Lily Cookie, no! I must get to her. [music] [music] My dear friends, everyone, I leave to you the freedom I yearned for and the future of this world.
Speaker A
I return to the embrace of nature, seeking forgiveness for my sins. I once [music] used to be consumed by curiosity about the meaning of life and the fear of its futility.
Speaker A
For a chance [music] to learn the truth, I cast everything aside. I wandered the world in search of answers.
Speaker A
In those travels, my freedom lost its light and fell into silence, leaving my heart filled with rage [music] towards the lying gods and resentment towards our fates.
Speaker A
Thus began my quest for greater power. I vowed to let go [music] of all attachments to achieve it.
Speaker A
Consumed by an endless thirst for something [music] beyond my reach, my life was filled with anguish and visions of doom.
Speaker A
But fate granted me another chance. Once again, I opened my eyes in an ancient forest.
Speaker A
[music] When I was shackled by despair and guilt, a cookie approached me. [music] Looking at that cookie, I wondered how a fragile being, [music] created from divine whim, could be so carefree in this world full of pain and
Speaker A
uncertainty. But [music] this cookie smiled and told me this. A tasty jelly [music] could brighten his day, and running with friends would fill his heart with hope for tomorrow.
Speaker A
He believed [music] that our choices shape the world we live in. More and more cookies gathered around this cookie, drawn to his radiant glow of freedom.
Speaker A
Together, they illuminated the path to liberation for [music] countless others. Even my dear friends who lost their light in endless despair found the courage to shine [music] again and move forward.
Speaker A
Indeed, this world is built upon endless [music] possibilities and choices. Abundant, yet chaotic. Beautiful, yet meaningless.
Speaker A
There are times of peace. There are times of fear. Small, yet mighty, all those cookies embraced themselves [music] and their choices as they are, cherishing their beliefs, supporting one another.
Speaker A
As I watched them, [music] I felt like the answer I've been desperately searching for all my life had started [music] to take shape.
Speaker A
I couldn't find this answer in the gods that I sought, having abandoned everything else, but [music] I found it in those cookies and sensed true freedom at last.
Speaker A
Because of them, I felt the light of freedom shine within me once again. [music] And I promised myself to never lose this precious light again.
Speaker A
Those countless lights of different hues [music] shining in your hearts, those dazzling lights that truly [music] make our world beautiful, I wanted to protect them with all my heart.
Speaker A
My friends, what does freedom mean to you? By meeting you, my [music] light was restored.
Speaker A
And I hope that each one of you finds a light of their own. [music] Just like countless stars shine across [music] different times and spaces, together, our lights create a brilliant [music] tapestry.
Speaker A
As I'm fading away, I hope I hope that the light I've kindled will remain in this world, shining bright for years to come.
Speaker A
May our world we share shine bright forevermore. No. White Lily Cookie, please no. Pure Vanilla Cookie, it was you who taught me to see beauty and feel love for this world, even when I kept away from everyone.
Speaker A
You did it by simply being here. Thank you for reaching out to me, for guiding me back into the sun.
Speaker A
Thank you for giving me the courage to seek forgiveness. Those precious [music] moments were my guiding light.
Speaker A
Even in the darkest [music] night when I lost my way, it always guided me back home.
Speaker A
What a relief to finally tell you this. My one and [music] only precious [music] [music] No.
Speaker A
White Lily Cookie, don't leave me. Don't leave me. [music] Not like this. I still haven't told you how all those moments what they truly meant to me.
Speaker A
How far you've led me on this journey. I've always watched you walk away, gazing into the distance. [music] The way you faced the world with everything you had.
Speaker A
I thought it was so beautiful. After all your struggles, this is the answer you finally found.
Speaker A
Now, goodbye, White Lily Cookie. May you rest in peace without fear, pain, or regrets.
Speaker A
Soar far beyond the horizon you've longed to see. May your journey be forever free.
Speaker A
Fragments of silence. The beasts are frozen still. This place all gray, not a single sound.
Speaker A
So, this is Silent Sal Cookie's power. Oh, fountain of knowledge, let me ask you once more. How and why were cookies created?
Speaker A
Ah! Silence! Shut up! FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE, PLEASE. WHY WAS THIS WORLD CREATED? FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE, what do the gods, the witches, want from us?
Speaker A
Ah! Stop it! Go away! Oh, fountain of knowledge, you don't know anything. So, why are you THE FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE?
Speaker A
AH! [screaming] THE POWER of my soul jam is draining away? Dark Enchantress Cookie, I played along with your little scheme while it was all good in fun, and this is what I get in return?
Speaker A
You dare use us as your pawns? Ingredients? Ingredients? You pathetic half a cookie. We would have destroyed you if not for this this traitorous snake, Silent Sal Cookie.
Speaker A
GRR! I'LL FIND A WAY OUT OF HERE, and then I'll reduce you all to smoldering crumbs.
Speaker A
What's this? The plane of silence is cracking? My senses are coming back. Well, well, Silent Sal Cookie, can't maintain your pathetic spells with your soul jam's strength being drained, hm?
Speaker A
Time to put an end to this insufferable mockery of a play in favor of a truly horrific plot twist.
Speaker A
Hm. I can see outside through the cracks. Is that Is that a witch? A witch?
Speaker A
[music] Here? HOW? AHA! [screaming] [laughter] I FEEL POWER coursing through my body. So, this is what it feels like to be a human. Strange, and yet exhilarating.
Speaker A
What? [laughter] [laughter] Dark Enchantress Cookie, a magic that could set cookies free by breaking the shackles that chained them to the witches.
Speaker A
And so, I will make it mine. If my dough must crumble in the process, so be it.
Speaker A
[laughter] Even if the price is your own dough. Even if you become less than a cookie.
Speaker A
Then let it all crumble to pieces. Huh? Yeah, I see it now. I see what you did there. And I've been wondering what you could possibly be plotting.
Speaker A
Oh, what a daring solo performance. Oh, well, that was unexpected. I'll give you that. I've seen many things, BUT THIS [crying] BRAVA! [screaming] Only there is one problem.
Speaker A
You see, I don't like the way you used me to create this poor caricature [music] of a witch.
Speaker A
[music] I can't let you drain my Soul Jam empty. There must be a way out.
Speaker A
Think. Think. Yes. Yes. I can sense a whiff of his salt. This might work.
Speaker A
[snorts] I may not be able to get him physically, [music] but at least I can play a couple of nasty tricks on his mind.
Speaker A
[groaning] [screaming] That's Burning Spice Cookie. The spell is receding. BURNING SPICE COOKIE, ATTACK! SMASH this pathetic space to pieces.
Speaker A
[screaming] I WILL DESTROY YOU. SILENCE, Salt Cookie. Your spell won't HOLD ME TOO LONG.
Speaker A
SILENCE, Salt Cookie. Cease this delusion. Let me go! No! [screaming] No, I cannot allow that. Yours is eternal silence.
Speaker A
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? [groaning] You hold no power in the plane of silence.
Speaker A
Caught in silence, stripped of your Soul Jams, you do not stand a chance against my silent order, the Knights of Kalamity.
Speaker A
Don't make me laugh. I'LL CRUSH ANYONE WHO DARES STAND IN MY WAY. WHAT IS THE meaning of this? My axe won't leave a SCRATCH ON THOSE BLASTED KNIGHTS.
Speaker A
DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID? Your powers are almost depleted. You cannot avert your fate.
Speaker A
Silence, Salt Cookie. I can sense that your resentment runs deep. Yet Dark Enchantress Cookie created our doughs, sustained solely by the power of our Soul Jams. Soon they will reach their limits.
Speaker A
Yes exactly. You can feel it, too, can't [music] you, Salt Cookie? Your power is being drained away by Dark Enchantress.
Speaker A
You must stop your spell, lest all of us, you included, will turn into lifeless dough.
Speaker A
Do you think I care? No. I cannot for my life, just like I did not care when I sealed you.
Speaker A
You should never have been freed from your prison. Accept it. It is time for us to return to where we belong.
Speaker A
You! I've had enough of this charade. You, a corrupted beast yourself, dare ruin my brilliant show with your dumb, plot hole-ridden narrative centered around your twisted sense of justice.
Speaker A
No, I won't give you the satisfaction. I'll get out of here, and just you wait.
Speaker A
You'll learn what real horror feels like. Futile. No matter how much you struggle, you will only hasten your demise.
Speaker A
Your fate is sealed in silence eternal. Silence, SALT COOKIE! SHADOW MILK COOKIE! [screaming] YOU INSECTS! I WILL ANNIHILATE YOU!
Speaker A
NO. My strength. There is little left of my Soul [music] Jam. Soon Is this what becoming nothing is like?
Speaker A
You filthy traitor! So this was your plan all along. You made us fight those pathetic heroes to wear us down.
Speaker A
While you were hiding, waiting for a chance to strike. You're trying to weasel out of it alone, aren't you?
Speaker A
It does not matter what you think. Demons like you should [music] never have existed.
Speaker A
Your powers are running dry. Prepare to [music] face your end. How could this happen?
Speaker A
My meditation revealed nothing but apathy. And yet my body did not crumble. Indeed, for this is the right path.
Speaker A
They are born, they grow, they wither, time and time again. Born, grow, wither, time and time again.
Speaker A
Born, grow. Wait. Did it happen before, or didn't it? That horrible thing that will inevitably hurt you.
Speaker A
Yes. Of course. I know how to make you happy, truly happy. Listen, Light of Deceit. You are part of my power. What's so fun in deceiving yourself? [music] Oh, I know. Why don't you just let me be? Your friend
Speaker A
This time, the world stands still awaiting my next masterful act to begin. I will pay for my sins in due time.
Speaker A
But for now, let us go. Forward, Nox Black [music] Salt. Take me, who has lost the virtue of solidarity, to where my footsteps shall finally cease.
Speaker A
Oh, Silver Seal Tree, I offer my dough to be bound beneath your roots. Oh, Silver Seal Tree, conceal the corrupted beneath your bark.
Speaker A
Oh, Silver Seal Tree, cleanse their evil and bear the fruits of new virtues. Oh, Silver Seal Tree, pierce their tainted [music] dough with divine forks.
Speaker A
In the end, I could not give them. Remember, our baking mission is to create beast cookies to reanimate powerful and ancient beings.
Speaker A
Now that the strength of the seal is gone, it is time. Awaken, my comrades, my friends, the almighty beasts.
Speaker A
I, the master of the ivory pagoda, speak to you. You, you beast. The thief who stole the other half of my soul jam.
Speaker A
My life? My entire life? Why? You've said it yourself. We are like two sides of the same coin.
Speaker A
Indeed. All this time, you've been my most treasured marionette. Just for me. Just for you?
Speaker A
All these ages, what you dreamed of giving to Cookie Kind, it was freedom. It was not freedom, merely license.
Speaker A
Why hello. Oh, did I miss anything, my dearest old friends? Surely you have realized it by now, even if you refuse to accept it.
Speaker A
For you have already known defeat. [screaming] Now then, go on. Show me that you understand me.
Speaker A
Show me what you're willing to do. Pitiful and futile. Eons may pass, and yet fools never change.
Speaker A
They never learn. [laughter] It is about time your doom has reached you. Such is the price of your pathetic fantasies.
Speaker A
Eternal abundance, nothing more than your delusion. Blinded by your golden light, you failed to understand the limits of your power.
Speaker A
Now, you will be swallowed UP BY THE TIDE OF CHANGE. OH, you're so generous, pouring all your care and affection on your loved ones.
Speaker A
Hollyberry Cookie, you truly are my other half. Judgment of silence. They never punished us.
Speaker A
Then what what were the witches doing? I turned the world [music] into a spectacle of chaos and delirium, and they did nothing at all.
Speaker A
Did they even watch? Even when their emissaries fell from grace, even when we turned their creation into a stage of terror and despair.
Speaker A
They simply did nothing. But why? What do the witches want? [music] Why did they create us?
Speaker A
Why did they create this world? Crumbs. Crumbs. Burning Spice Cookie, Mystic Flower Cookie, and Eternal Sugar Cookie had already taken quite a beating.
Speaker A
[gasps] Show's over for them. And it looks like I'm next. I must find a way to gain new power.
Speaker A
But how? Blast it. The beasts who once plunged the world into chaos, finally, their voices have fallen silent.
Speaker A
Now only Dark Enchantress [music] remains. The one who seeks to destroy Cookie Kind to fuel her ambition.
Speaker A
Oh, Knights of Calan Amic, the moment that will decide the fate of this world draws near.
Speaker A
This is my final order. Today, on this battlefield, we shall fulfill [music] the purpose of our creation.
Speaker A
At last, the hour of reckoning. So this is the cathedral [music] of the Saint Pastry Order.
Speaker A
According to Pastry Cookie, a mystical angel resides here. One who serves as a bridge between the devotees [music] and the deities they worship.
Speaker A
Deities of great hands, mountain-like hats, and long shadows. [music] They must be connected to the witches somehow.
Speaker A
To stop myself from using [music] the witches' magic, I must find clues about their power here.
Speaker A
If I reach this messenger [music] of the almighty, I'm certain I will have a lead.
Speaker A
I must hurry. Even at this [music] very moment, my plans continue to unfold. How strange. [music] This is supposed to be the order's greatest sanctuary.
Speaker A
Why isn't there [music] a single cookie in sight? Cold and lifeless. And I sense a strange energy from within.
Speaker A
As if space itself is warping. What could have happened here? I should go and see [music] for myself.
Speaker A
You there. You mustn't enter the cathedral. What brings you here? Oh, what a relief it is to find a priest [music] of the order here.
Speaker A
Hello. My name is White Lily Cookie. A great evil [music] is looming over the cookie world.
Speaker A
I came here to find a way to stop [music] it. A mystical being known as the Providence's Messenger, they are my only lead.
Speaker A
Can I meet them? The Providence's [music] Messenger? You seem to be unaware of what transpired here.
Speaker A
I'm afraid to tell you that this creature was never a messenger. What happened here?
Speaker A
Well, I And we shall fulfill [music] our destiny. May the creators watch over you.
Speaker A
You're eminent. All those cookies, the avatar consumed them. After that day, the order effectively collapsed.
Speaker A
[music] All that remained were wounded, scarred cookies with nowhere to turn to. [music] Such horror.
Speaker A
So, where are they now? Follow me. [music] You did so well eating today. I'm relieved.
Speaker A
[sighs] I know it's hard to swallow the jellies, but you must eat well to recover your dough.
Speaker A
Easier said than done. Our lives have been nothing but hell since that terrible day.
Speaker A
Why? Oh why? I was faithful more than anyone here. But now, just look at my sorry state.
Speaker A
My dough aches so much. [laughter] [sighs and gasps] I wish to sleep. [crying] Back then, we called that horrifying being our savior, our holy avatar.
Speaker A
Seltzer Cookie and I were devout believers. Yet we led the cookies astray with misguided faith.
Speaker A
That is why we believed staying here to aid those in need would be a way to atone for our sins, even if just a little.
Speaker A
Yes. That alone would be atonement for brother Menthol Cookie and I. Atonement. We managed to seal off the nave where the monster resides to prevent further loss of cookie lives, and have been guarding the entrance ever since.
Speaker A
Which means this avatar is still inside? After that fated day, a massive dimensional rift appeared in the nave.
Speaker A
Those who clung to the false teachings approached it, only to be pulled into the void.
Speaker A
Many cookies were swallowed by the rift before Brother Mentha Cookie could seal it with magic. [music] The others, they never returned.
Speaker A
Oh god. [laughter] I can sense your anguish. Your dough and souls have been through so much.
Speaker A
The creature is likely still inside the rift. A powerful force has been trying to break my sealing magic from within.
Speaker A
I'm worried how much longer it can hold. All right then. I shall face this avatar myself.
Speaker A
No no. Every cookie who approached it was devoured, and none ever returned. [music] This entity emerged from the dimensional rift, a place populated by the vengeful spirits of those abandoned and tormented by the witches.
Speaker A
It must be connected to the witches' magic somehow. I need to uncover its true nature.
Speaker A
Only then can I find a way to save the cookie world. And as long as the avatar's rage [music] and resentment remain, it will continue trying to break free.
Speaker A
That is why I must guide it. Guide it? But but how? Huh? Oh. The sound came from the sealed nave.
Speaker A
[screaming] Oh almighty, I have arrived. Oh godly creators, deliver us. No. Not these fanatics again.
Speaker A
I must deal with them at once. Sister Salty Cookie, stay and protect the wounded.
Speaker A
Yes, Brother Mentha Cookie. Please be careful. It's here. This is where the great divine is.
Speaker A
There must be a path that leads to our godly creators inside. Stop right there.
Speaker A
You have no idea how dangerous this is. Those who stand in the way of the divine are nothing but heretics. Yes, just like them.
Speaker A
Oh godly creators, grant me permission to stand beside you. There are too many of them.
Speaker A
It's breaking. No. Oh no. The seal. Souls emerging from the rift are dragging those cookies in.
Speaker A
[laughter] [crying] No, no, no. I must hurry and restore the seal. May they find eternal rest.
Speaker A
Power of the rift, it's too strong. I cannot So, this is how it ends.
Speaker A
Sister Salty Cookie, everyone, forgive me, for I could not protect you. Go forth. White Lily Cookie.
Speaker A
You are safe. I managed to seal the rift. But like I said before, it is only a matter of time before the avatar breaks free.
Speaker A
Sealing it will not be enough. [music] It will only deepen the resentment of souls within it.
Speaker A
And the same disaster will repeat over and over again. [music] [screaming] Spirits and monsters from the rift are attacking the cookies.
Speaker A
Oh no. We can't let them run away. Sister Salty Cookie and the rest are in danger. We need to do something fast.
Speaker A
Stay behind me. Oh, you. Thank goodness I'm not too late. Wait you. You were supposed to come as the successor to Sister Salty Cookie and I.
Speaker A
Yes, I suppose so. It looks like something terrible [music] has happened to the order while I was away.
Speaker A
Pastry Cookie. I have so many questions, but now's not the time for sharing pleasantries. Let's deal with these monsters first. [music] Over there, a giant one.
Speaker A
All those creatures, they've merged into one. We have no time. There are cookies in grave danger.
Speaker A
Ah. [sighs and gasps] Oh. Finally, it's over. Thank you so [music] much, Pastry Cookie.
Speaker A
We wouldn't have stood a chance against the rift monsters if it weren't for you.
Speaker A
White Lily Cookie. [music] I knew I'd find you here. But those creatures, [music] what on Earthbread happened here?
Speaker A
That's [music] The seal remained [music] broken for some time, but thanks to White Lily Cookie's spell, we were able to prevent [music] a greater catastrophe.
Speaker A
Like I said earlier, this is only a temporary solution. The rift will grow bigger, [music] and the seal won't hold for long.
Speaker A
This is bad. What should we do? I'm going into that rift. Preposterous. Did you forget what we had to deal with?
Speaker A
My mind hasn't changed. I need to meet this holy avatar [music] that is causing this rift.
Speaker A
There is nothing holy about it. I know. I merely needed a name to refer to it.
Speaker A
[music] When the seal broke and the rift opened for a brief moment, I was able to hear its voice.
Speaker A
This is an entity formed from countless souls abandoned by the witches, forsaken and tormented.
Speaker A
Their rage and resentment toward the witches have [music] already grown so immense that it tore through the fabric of space-time itself.
Speaker A
[music] This being will not be stopped until their grievances are resolved. And the cookie world will ultimately be consumed by despair, spiraling into endless chaos.
Speaker A
But there is a way to stop [music] this calamity. Dark Enchantress Cookie seeks to reshape our world with the witches' magic.
Speaker A
I shall lead this being to her and unleash its rage. If this is possible, then there is still hope left for Earthbread.
Speaker A
There's no time to waste. I must press forward. The fate of cookie kind hangs in the balance.
Speaker A
[music] As I suspected, the power of the rift is surging violently, pushing against the seal I cast.
Speaker A
This seal won't last much longer. I must go inside the rift. Only then can I prevent it from spreading further and guide the entity within it.
Speaker A
White Lily Cookie, is there truly no other way? This is far too dangerous. Once you enter the rift, there is no coming back.
Speaker A
Even if the slightest thing goes wrong, it will spell your end. I know. I thought long and [music] hard about this, and I'm scared, too.
Speaker A
But this is the only way. If it were me, I would have made the same decision.
Speaker A
This is the path to my atonement. Atonement? I'm afraid there's no [music] turning back now.
Speaker A
Pastry Cookie, I have a favor to ask of [music] you. A favor? What is it?
Speaker A
We must deliver the [music] being within the rift to Dark Enchantress Cookie. But if I enter this rift, I won't be able to get out on my own.
Speaker A
Right now, Dark Enchantress Cookie is the only one [music] who possesses the power to open rifts between dimensions.
Speaker A
So, we need to make her open the rift [music] herself. When that moment comes, I'll make the being leave the rift.
Speaker A
But I will need [music] someone who can keep it open. The only one who can deceive Dark Enchantress Cookie is Silent Salt Cookie.
Speaker A
I need you to do something for me. Deliver this [music] plan to him. Very well.
Speaker A
And there is one [music] more thing. Please make sure my friends receive these. The truth is, this plan might fail.
Speaker A
There is a chance that I never make it back out. And even if this plan succeeds, I may never be [music] able to share my story with my friends again.
Speaker A
But there is something they must know. So please make sure these letters reach them.
Speaker A
And this box is for Golden Cheese Cookie. I'd love to deliver it personally, but I'm afraid that won't happen.
Speaker A
It's something very important that took me a long [music] time to find. Please make sure she receives it.
Speaker A
Very well. Consider it done. Thank you so much. Well then goodbye. Unthinkable. I must hurry. There's not a moment to waste.
Speaker A
Menthol Cookie, Seltzer Cookie, take care of this [music] place. I must go to the Catacombs of Silence.
Speaker A
Very well. I see. I will [music] stand watch over the tides of war in Beast Yeast. When fate decrees the hour, I shall lead my knights into battle.
Speaker A
I must go now and [music] deliver these items to the ancient heroes. Wait. One moment.
Speaker A
What is it? The heroes must [music] not know of this plan until the war has ended.
Speaker A
What do you mean? White Lily Cookie asked me to deliver these to the ancient heroes, and I made a promise I would.
Speaker A
She's currently trapped within the rift [music] and cannot escape on her own. The heroes are expecting White Lily Cookie to join and fight alongside them.
Speaker A
Her sudden disappearance will not be understood. And that is precisely why I must What is the meaning of this?
Speaker A
You cannot leave. Stay here until the war is over. What? The ancient heroes are special to White Lily Cookie and Dark Enchantress Cookie.
Speaker A
Should they know the truth, it would introduce an unforeseen variable. Such a major event could bring change to Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans [music] and potentially prevent her from opening the rift herself.
Speaker A
Should that come to pass, White Lily Cookie will be trapped for eternity. This world will be reduced to chaos and [music] ruin with not a single spark of hope left behind.
Speaker A
I know your intentions are well-meant. However, now is the time to stay silent. How could you?
Speaker A
You must understand, or I will have no choice but to stop you by force.
Speaker A
For I, too, am a fallen beast of silence. I can barely [laughter] see what's ahead of me.
Speaker A
My head is spinning. [music] I'm losing consciousness. I can feel it. It's hatred. It's chaos within.
Speaker A
But I I've felt this before. When I fell into the dough at the banquet [music] of the witches, the suffering of being mixed together with countless tormented souls.
Speaker A
Dark Enchantress Cookie, she was born from the convergence of countless cookie souls. Yet at the same time, she is a cookie who is myself.
Speaker A
Will this plan work? Will I be able to hold out? It hurts. It hurts.
Speaker A
What am I doing this for? No. I must endure. I must fight this. The freedom I so desperately sought, my freedom, and the fate of this world hangs in the balance.
Speaker A
How many days has it been since I entered the rift? No, not days. Months?
Speaker A
Or perhaps years. Time and space have twisted beyond recognition in here. My sense of time, myself, they keep crumbling away.
Speaker A
Will I ever make it out of here? Will I see my friends again? I wonder what they think of me.
Speaker A
My mind is getting hazy. I'm desperately hanging on to my thoughts, but this sensation, it feels as if my entire dough is crumbling to pieces.
Speaker A
No. I must hold on. For me, for you, for everyone. Yes. The rift has finally opened.
Speaker A
That's Silent Salt Cookie's Knights of Kalamity. They they did it. I must lead the Avatar [music] of Destiny out of the rift.
Speaker A
[groaning] Come forth, spirits. Let us go. For true freedom. White Lily Cookie, you have finally won.
Speaker A
Everything has fallen into place as you planned it. With this, Cookie Kind will finally be free from this corruption.
Speaker A
[laughter] Oh, Silent Salt Cookie, just look at your sorry state. Shadow Milk Cookie, still alive, are you?
Speaker A
Like the vermin you are. Oh, look at you, staked to the ground, skewered by the silver fork. Waa waa waa. Help me, someone save me.
Speaker A
Is this really the ending you worked so hard for? Yes, Shadow Milk Cookie. Dark Enchantress and you fell beasts were nothing but a dark stain.
Speaker A
Oh, how I dreamed of the day I could extinguish your corruption. And now, at last, the end has come.
Speaker A
Though I regret not ending you myself, drained, powerless, there isn't much time left for you.
Speaker A
Your borrowed vessel, created hastily [music] by Dark Enchantress, is failing you without the strength of your soul jam.
Speaker A
Oh, powerless, you say? You fool. When you betrayed your old chums to mingle with those gnats, your judgment bid farewell to that bucket on your head.
Speaker A
No. What is this darkness you wield? You're right. I nearly lost all my soul jam's power. And this vessel, yeah, it's useless without it. It was close, I'll give you that.
Speaker A
But you know what? While you were struggling to stop Dark Enchantress, [music] I managed to sneak into the ultimate oven.
Speaker A
Inside, there was a half-baked dough, abandoned. Poor little guy, left to grow cold without ever having the chance to see the light of day.
Speaker A
And you know how I am. I couldn't help but take pity on the poor soul. So, I brought a piece of them with me. What What did you say?
Speaker A
You maniacal clown. Countless souls are condensed within that abomination. Merge with it and you'll lose what little sanity YOU HAVE LEFT.
Speaker A
DON'T WORRY your pretty little head. I only absorbed an itty-bitty morsel. Besides, you should be more concerned with your own sticky situation right now. [music] You betrayed me. Deceived me in the most horrible way. Did you really think I'd
Speaker A
let you get away with this? What answer do you expect? Is this your revenge?
Speaker A
I will soon fade away. Even if you kill me in your fit of rage, it will change nothing.
Speaker A
Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Killing those who don't value their own lives brings neither satisfaction nor amusement.
Speaker A
But this ultimate cookie, don't you find it just fascinating how it can absorb the powers of other cookies?
Speaker A
So, I'll be taking what little strength you have left. No. My pain does not matter.
Speaker A
I must destroy Shadow Milk Cookie however I can. [clears throat] When you trapped me in your silence earlier, it gave me plenty of time to think. So, I was thinking and thinking, how can I plunge you [music] to the
Speaker A
depths of despair? So, I got a brilliant idea, Silent Affogato. I decided to erase every single thing you've fought so hard for as if they never existed.
Speaker A
Poof. [clears throat] What is this madness? All your sacrifices, [music] your descent into corruption, and for what? Ha! I'm not impressed at [music] all. Nope.
Speaker A
Let me rewrite this story from scratch. I'll turn every moment into a chaotic, beautiful, exciting tale.
Speaker A
Look up at the sky. Do you see that thing? You made that rift yourself.
Speaker A
Through it, I can jump into another timeline. I'll journey to the past and forge a new future. One far more spectacular than this one.
Speaker A
I'll destroy all timelines but [music] my own. Turning them into utter lies. My future will be the only truth that remains.
Speaker A
And everything you've built so carefully will be for nothing. You I will stop you.
Speaker A
[laughter] How's that for a plot twist? Can you feel the despair now? Staked to the ground, stripped of your power.
Speaker A
What could you possibly do? [laughter] That little tale of yours about the witch's punishment, I will make you feel every ounce of pain until you crumble to dust.
Speaker A
I will steal your power, escape through the rift that you created, and then use it to destroy everything you hold dear.
Speaker A
No. You filthy little traitor. Yes, yes. Feel this despair. Do you like it? I bet you do.
Speaker A
Oh, but don't feel too bad about parting ways with yours truly. Don't know where, don't know when, but we'll meet again in another timeline.
Speaker A
I won't let you HAVE YOUR WAY. HUH? WHAT THE Did you just destroy your own soul jam?
Speaker A
Oh. You are so really pushing it. Huh? A big explosion just came from where Silent Soul Cookie was.
Speaker A
The beast cookies. Stay alert, everyone. This war is not over yet. [music] Geez, what a pain in the you know what?
Speaker A
At least I've absorbed the power from the other beasts, so it shouldn't be too much trouble.
Speaker A
But if I use too much of my energy here, things might get risky again.
Speaker A
Hmm. Over [music] here. Those are the beasts unconscious. Their doughs are cold and stale.
Speaker A
Not a single trace of life energy remains. Silent Soul Cookie is uh His soul jam is completely destroyed.
Speaker A
That explosion just now. Is that what it was? Wait. Check if all five beasts are here.
Speaker A
[laughter] Looks like we have a smart cookie over here. But it's too late. Soon, I will erase this timeline.
Speaker A
[music] Why don't I quietly slip away? [music] One, two, three. Four? There are only four, sir.
Speaker A
Oh, I found ANOTHER ONE. FIVE. ALL FIVE BEAST COOKIES' doughs are here. All the beast cookies have fallen.
Speaker A
Could Silent Soul Cookie be behind this? There are very few cookies who could do this to the beasts.
Speaker A
But something is amiss. How could they all be Use magic to take a closer look at their doughs.
Speaker A
Yes, your majesty. [laughter] Look as closely as you want. Even the real beasts are nothing but empty husks, drained of all life energy.
Speaker A
Those fools can't tell what's true and what's not. Swim, swim through the chaos. [laughter] Just [gasps] wait and see.
Speaker A
I'll raise the curtain on a truly perfect new show. Huh? What's that light? A blinding LIGHT IN THE SKY.
Speaker A
I CAN'T open my eyes. Wait, what is that? [music] [music] [music] Is that a [music] cookie?
Speaker A
A shining cookie. This aura. Could it be [music] Ah. This light. Perhaps this cookie is our beacon [music] of hope.
Speaker A
Damn it. DAMN IT. DAMN IT. [music] THOSE WORTHLESS PESTS! COOKIES, WITCHES, I hate them all!
Speaker A
[music] I don't need witches or truth. I don't need anything. THIS WORLD IS ONE STUPID, USELESS, worthless piece of I'll tear everything apart and CREATE A NEW. WATCH me turn this whole world upside down!
Speaker A
[music] The real show is about to begin. [laughter] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [snorts] [music] [singing] [music] [singing and music] [singing and music] [music and singing] [singing] [music] [music] [singing] [music] [music and singing] [music and singing]
Speaker A
