Looking for a new home: Chapter 13 - In search of treasure
Night fell and the city became more colorful. The team is still at the fair and is asking the vendors about the way to Cookingdom. Unfortunately, they don't know the answer until they come across the next seller.
Shopkeeper: Unfortunately, I do not know the way to Cookingdom. No one goes there if they think so.
GingerBrave: But is there any way to cross the desert?
Chili Pepper Cookie: There's no way I'm going back there.
Shopkeeper: Well, it's going to be hard guys. I was there myself, and I heard about the monster who guarded the treasure.
GingerBrave's Team: Treasure?
Chili Pepper and Custard: Where?
Shopkeeper: I don't know. You'd better turn to someone else.
Alchemist Cookie: I know who to ask. Yogurt Cream Cookie.
Strawberry Cookie: And who is he? It's either her or them...
Alchemist Cookie: He is the sultan of this magnificent mansion. I always come here for old books, even before I was teleported into the cave.
Shopkeeper: Are you going to him? He's just having a banquet.
Shopkeeper: The banquet is to celebrate the return of the caravan! Of course, I was one of the first to be invited!
Alinalioness Cookie: It sounds interesting.
Custard Cookie III: As a king, it also became interesting to me.
Alchemist Cookie: Then we're perfectly there. I know the way and they know me, so you don't have to worry.
In the largest mansion, Cookie sat on the throne, who had a hat made of yogurt cream with lilac hair, wore sultan's clothes and held a fan. It was none other than Yogurt Cream Cookie itself. There were tables with food and guests in this hall.
Man's voice: Hello my little brother!
His older brother Plain Yogurt Cookie is coming to him. He wore lilac hair, a purple robe, and a purple headband.
Plain Yogurt Cookie: I've missed you! Look at you, slowly becoming a grown Cookie!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: My brother! Crisp and fashionable as always! How did your treasure-seeking adventures go this time?
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Quite successful! I will do anything for our Yogurt Family, even until the day I crumble and the cream sours...!
In front of them was a cookie with dark dough, which had purple short hair, a transparent veil and lilac trousers. And his name is Lilac Cookie. He looked at Plain Yogurt suspiciously.
Plain Yogurt Cookie: That bodyguard of yours... I never know what that one is thinking…
Yogurt Cream Cookie: I sorta know what Lilac Cookie is thinking! After all, we've been friends for quite a bit now. Don't mind him!
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Well, this time on my journey, I heard something rather astonishing! Are you familiar with the tale of the cursed temple? The one across the desert, guarded by a monstrous creature of legend?
Yogurt Cream Cookie: The Jelly Serpent's Temple? Of course, I know that story! Every Yogurcan knows that story!
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Yes, but this time...! I have finally learned of that treasure's true name: The Naga's Heart!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Nonsense! It cannot be true! The immortal treasure from the ancient legends of old? It's real?!
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Yes, little brother. It is true. It is real! The treasure that our father is still seeking to this day! If I were able, I would prepare a caravan to explore that temple. But alas, I must embark on another journey tomorrow! That is why... I am entrusting this quest to you, brother! You are father's favorite! Imagine how much he will love you if you retrieve this artifact of legend?
Yogurt Cream Cookie: He loves me enough, already, doesn't he?
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Brother! One can never receive enough love! The Naga's Heart is in our grasp, but you would dismiss this so easily? Father would be sad. Yogurt Cream Cookie... You are the only one who can accomplish this!
Yogurt Cream Cookie:*Sign* Yeah, fine. I'll go!
Plain Yogurt Cookie: An excellent decision! I can already see our proud father's beaming and satisfied smile! But! You will not be going without assistance. I have already procured the services of an excellent guide! Come, Scorpion Cookie!
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Scorpion Cookie has just recently joined the caravan. If it were not for her expertise, we would have not made it back in time! I vouch for Scorpion Cookie with the utmost confidence! Her skills will be of great use!
Scorpion Cookie just appears with red hair in a gathered scorpion tail, wearing a brown undershirt, white pants and gold jewelry on her head.
Scorpion Cookie: Thank you, kind sir. The desert is my home. I can find my way with my eyes closed.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: : Lilac Cookie? You know her?
Lilac Cookie: ... No. Just thinking...
Alchemist Cookie:(Her voice is heard through the gate door) Yogurt Cream Cookie! Long time no see!
Plain Yogurt Cream: I believe you have guests, brother! I shall take my leave. Before I do, Scorpion Cookie, a quick word?
Scorpion Cookie: But of course. Oh, and Lilac Cookie. I am glad we finally get to… work together…
Lilac Cookie: Of all Cookies... Why you?
GingerBrave Team came to the hall and were immediately surprised by the beauty of the hall.
Strawberry Cookie: It's so beautiful...
Alinalioness Cookie: Not even in my dreams.
GingerBright: They seem to be living well.
Alchemist Cookie: Good evening, Yogurt Cream Cookie.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Hello, Alchemist Cookie ! Here for another dusty old book?
Alchemist Cookie: No, not this time! This time... we're looking for a temple!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Oh? What a coincidence! So am l! Are you looking for the Naga's Heart too?
Custard Cookie III: To be honest, yes. I am very happy to meet such a royal cookie like. My name is Custard Cookie III.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Oh! Are you a real royal cookie? I am very happy to see this.
Chili Pepper Cookie: He stupidly considers himself a king.
GingerBrave: We're just thinking about how to leave this place through the desert. We decided to use a compass to find out where this place is.
Yogurt Cookie: I've never seen such a compass! How much will you sell it for...?
GingerBrave: It's not for sale! We don't even know how it works. We are still looking for Cookingdom.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Cookingdom?! The very place where the Ancient Heroes and that scary woman disappeared?! Oh my God, what luck to meet those who are looking for it! How long do you have to look?
GingerBrave: It seems like a long time.
GingerBright: We also left the place where the witches were, and then we came here through the sea and caves.
Skater Cookie: We had to go through such a difficult long journey.
Strawberry Cookie: Park, wood with fairies, train, city, castle and even snow world.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: What an interesting story! Since you're going to the temple there, let's go together!
GingerBright: Sounds good! The more Cookies, the safer we'll be!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: We'll head out tomorrow! Until then, enjoy the banquet! There's more than enough Jellies to engorge on to last ten lifetimes!
Zombie Cookie: EAT... ALL... JELLIES! SO... MUCH!
Strawberry Cookie: Don't eat so fast, Zombie Cookie! You'll get a tummy ache! Oooh...! Leave some Jellies for us! Is that... No, it can't be... Devil Cookie is playing tricks on the guests!
GingerBright: Devil Cookie! When did you- how did you get here?!
Devil Cookie: This place looked fun! DUH! So many Cookies to play with here, HAHA!
GingerBright: Oh, oh this is bad... What if we get kicked out?
Alinalioness Cookie: I'll take care of this rat.
She took out a candy cross from her backpack, forcing the ugly cookie to hide.
Cloud Cookie: Wow! Where did you get it from?
Alinalioness Cookie: I've had it for a long time. Saves you from evil spirits. I still have spare parts.
While everyone was celebrating, the Alchemist goes in search of an study.
Alchemist Cookie: If I remember this correctly, Yogurt Cream Cookie's study is at the end of this corridor. I wonder if he got any new books since then! Oh...! Someone's there? Those two are…
When she saw Lilac and Plain Yogurt, she immediately hid behind the pillar.
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Just look at you, a "real" bodyguard. You did not even attempt to throw off your cloak and hide away, I see.
Lilac Cookie: ... I am merely biding my time.
Alchemist Cookie:*Whisper* I just need to pass by, but their conversation looks really serious...
Plain Yogurt Cookie: While you are "biding your time," that foolish brother of mine is on the path to inherit my father's entire fortune! You were hired to prevent that, not ensure it!
Lilac Cookie: I have no qualms with your petty family politics. I am merely doing my job.
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Then do it! Do not tell me that you have forgotten what your contract entails?
Plain Yogurt Cookie: Oh, and by the way? How did it feel, to meet an old acquaintance? I wonder who will complete their contract first...
Lilac Cookie: Has your mistrust of my skill made you so desperate to hire a Cookie such as... her?
Plain Yogurt Cookie: You gave me no choice. My patience is wearing thin, Lilac Cookie. Bring his crumbs before me and only then will I deem your contract as completed. I have my eyes on you...
Alchemist Cookie: What are they talking about...? Oh no...! It can't mean…
The team, along with Yogurt Cream Cookie, Lilac and Scorpion, gathered together near the seashore.
GingerBrave: Is everyone here? Then let’s head out into the desert!
Strawberry Cookie: I feel so full of energy! Maybe it’s because of all those Jellies from last night!
Zombie Cookie: GO... GO...! Desert... temple...! RUN! #@!&$#
Scorpion Cookie: Please, allow me to show you the way. I shall guide you along the shortest route to the temple.
Lilac Cookie: How do we verify this route of yours? It would be better for us to–
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Now, now, Lilac Cookie! Let’s see how everything goes!
Lilac Cookie: ... This is no time for nonchalance.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Plain Yogurt Cookie will get his hands on exactly what he wants. And this Cookie...? She will lead us straight to the treasure.
GingerBright: Is something going on between them? You can taste the tension in the air. I wonder if we'll get there in one piece...
Alchemist Cookie: What if the road there is really dangerous...
GingerBright: Having more information never hurt anyone! How about we listen to Lilac Cookie and dig up some more info first? After all, we only know there's a temple being guarded by a monster! We need more information!
GingerBrave: OK! But we need to depart soon! Let's split up and ask around. It'll save us some time.
GingerBright: We don’t know the market very well… We should split into groups!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Lilac Cookie is with me. After all, as my bodyguard, he needs to follow me, haha!
GingerBrave: I'll go with my brother so that nothing happens to him.
Skater Cookie: Strawberry, are you with me?
Strawberry Cookie: Yes. (Skater abruptly takes her on a skate) Just be careful.
Alchemist and Wizard: Uh... I'll have to go with him/her...
Cloud Cookie: Shall we take a chance?
Alinalioness Cookie: Yeah.
Chili Pepper Cookie: You can come with me, but don't get on top of me.
Custard Cookie III: That's very kind of you.
Chili Pepper Cookie:*Unhappy* Argh...
Devil Cookie: Zombie, I'll go with you!
Zombie Cookie:*Worried* Uh...
GingerBright: I'll go with Zombie Cookie so that the Devil Cookie doesn't do any harm.
Scorpion Cookie: I can manage alone, good sir.
Everyone split up and went to ask the shopkeeper.
GingerBrave: What do you know about the Jelly Serpent’s Temple?
Shopkeeper: Jelly Serpent! That's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. It is a monstrous creature, with hair of Jellysnakes, and guards the temple all alone…
Zombie Cookie: Jellysnakes…? Yummy…? Eat… Jellysnakes… No… No no…
Strawberry Cookie: Jellies are yummy, but I don’t think hair is a good thing to eat…
Skater Cookie: It's disgusting...
Wizard Cookie: Is there anything in that temple relating to magic?
Alchemist Cookie: Or even better, alchemy?!
Shopkeeper: whatever is in that temple… do not go there! All who have entered… have never returned!
Wizard and Alchemist: Didn't come back?
The GingerBrave team immediately gathered near the seashore.
GingerBright: We didn’t learn anything new, did we…?
Alchemist Cookie: Everyone's heard of the temple's treasure, but it sounds like no one's been there. Maybe they're warning us of danger... Because we're new in town and all?
Wizard Cookie: What about the fact that you've been to this city a lot?
GingerBright: Maybe Yogurt Cream Cookie and Lilac Cookie Lilac Cookie learned something interesting.
Meanwhile, with Yogurt Cream and Lilac
Shopkeeper: Ah, good Yogurt Cream Cookie! I've a new selection of luxury carpets! Would you care to see?
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Sounds interesting! But today, I bring questions, not Coins! What do you know about the cursed temple?
Shopkeeper: Y-y-you aren't considering... *gulp* going there? You already possess a majestic collection of treasures and valuables!
Shopkeeper: You must have heard the horrid tales of that... that... freak!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: How bad could the monster be? I survived the Thundersnow Yeti's blizzard, after all!
Shopkeeper: But think of your father! He will be worried sick...!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: … I am going at father's behest.
Lilac Cookie: ... Let us move on. This one seems ignorant of real facts. (Goes away with Yogurt Cream Cookie)
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Nothing interesting... And we ran everywhere...! Even birds were chasing us too… Let's head back to the rendezvous. Someone must have learned something!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Huh? What's up?
Lilac Cookie: ... Beware of Scorpion Cookie.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Huh? Yeah, sure, OK. If my bodyguard says so, then why not.
The two immediately returned to GingerBrave team.
GingerBrave: Everyone's here! We didn't learn anything!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Us too... It's like no one knows anything real about the temple...
Scorpion Cookie:(She appears out of the shadows and everyone notices her) All of you have returned empty-handed? I thought as much... hehe...
GingerBright: What about you, Scorpion Cookie?
Scorpion Cookie: An old Cookie's tale... A creature with hair of Jellysnakes guarding some ancient treasure hidden in the temple. Then a curse was laid upon the temple, forcing it to sink beneath the sands. Such an... entertaining tale.
Strawberry Cookie: Curses. Trapped beneath the sand. Not my definition of entertaining!
Devil Cookie: Ah, you get the irony of it! Hehe!
Alinalioness Cookie:(Throws a cross at Devil Cookie) Shut up.
GingerBright: So... the road there is relatively safe then?
Scorpion Cookie: If you consider a huge pile of skeletons and an ancient, rickety bridge as safe... Then yes! Stay cautious though. One wrong step and... bye-bye, hehe...
Zombie Cookie: Not want… to go… Scary…
GingerBrave: I'm scared too...
Scorpion Cookie: But after you find the treasure for him, you will find your way to Cookingdom.
Custard Cookie III: To the Cookingdom!
Chili Pepper Cookie: Wait... It can't be that simple...
Scorpion Cookie: Please, you'll be very lucky.
Alinalioness Cookie:*Through the teeth* Don't agree...
GingerBrave: Okay... (Alinalioness Cookie put her hand to her face)
Lilac Cookie:*At least someone is thinking and has noticed the suspicions*
They immediately head for another exit from Yogurca.
GingerBright: Are these the outskirts of the city? I can see the desert behind those buildings! There's definitely fewer Cookies here.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Well, these are the rather shadier alleys of Yogurca. Even I have not used this path out of the city!
Alchemist Cookie: Wow... Scorpion Cookie doesn't look scared at all?
Scorpion Cookie: I have used this path many times. This is the... quickest way out. Out of the city, of course…
Lilac Cookie: ... Is that the only reason we travel this path?
Scorpion Cookie: Just wait for me here, (Everyone stopped) I need to talk to someone. (She leaves)
Leaving them confused, she approached the groups of thieves that the heroes did not suspect.
Cream Cloak Rogue: The stuff from before... They were rather useful. Thank you.
Scorpion Cookie: If you need help again, just give me a call.
Marshmallow Bandit: Hey, hey! Where d'ya think you're goin, eh?
Scorpion Cookie: I'll let you know once I... return. (Returns to the GingerBrave team)
GingerBrave: Scorpion Cookie? Who are they? They look... really shady!
Scorpion Cookie: Merely travelers and acquaintances. Shall we depart on our quest? I am rather looking... forward to it!
They immediately left the city and headed for the temple. Days later, they found themselves on large canyons with bridges.
Alchemist Cookie: That is one rickety bridge! We'll have to take it slow and hang on tight!
GingerBrave: The temple is just past this bridge, right? If it wasn't for Scorpion Cookie, we'd still be wandering around the desert...! Thanks, Scorpion Cookie!
Scorpion Cookie: It was nothing! After all, I am just doing... my job.
GingerBright: Let's rest up a bit before crossing. Who knows what awaits across that bridge?
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Here, I brought some Jellies and juice. A trip like this deserves tasty refreshments.
Strawberry Cookie: This isn't a trip...
He took out a lot of food and everyone started eating.
GingerBright: How much food did you bring? It's enough for an entire picnic!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: This? Oh, this is nothing! With my Magic Lamp, I can bring anything and everything!
Zombie Cookie: Tasty Jellies…! Eat more… EAT MORE!!
Scorpion Cookie: Here, Zombie Cookie. Have some juice too. You too, Yogurt Cream Cookie.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Ah, I'm parched! (Lilac immediately removed the juice from his hands) Hey! Lilac Cookie? I only had one sip of that...! Get your own!
Lilac Cookie: ... Switch with mine.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: It's just juice...? Oh, very well.
GingerBright: Now that we've rested and filled up our bellies, shall we continue?
GingerBrave: Everyone ready? Let's go!
Everyone held hands, while GingerBrave put Dozer on his shoulders. At that time, Custard Cookie III was trembling a little from fear of heights, while Chili, looking at it, exhaled.
Chili Pepper Cookie: Okay... You can climb on top of me. (Custard immediately climbed on top of her, holding on tight) Just not... much...
They started walking across the bridge, making the bridge swing a little.
Zombie Cookie: Bridge... shaking... Graaagh... shaking...! SHAKING…!
Alchemist Cookie: It's like this bridge was made scary on purpose...! Maybe this is why no Cookie has been to the temple...
Devil Cookie: Yeah, I'm not going to cross that scary bridge. I'll just fly across! See ya there! HAHA!
Alinalioness Cookie: Well, go on, go on! Until I got the cross!
Strawberry Cookie: Flying alone... That's so unfair...
GingerBright: Everyone, be careful! Take it nice and slow, we're already halfway across!
GingerBrave: The bridge is shaking even more! What if it snaps, and we fall down the cliff?!
Dozer:*Scared* It's so scary...
Chili Pepper Cookie: Custard don't tremble, you make me tremble.
Custard Cookie III: Out of fear?
Chili Pepper Cookie: From you!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Oh... I-I-I can't move all of a sudden...
Lilac Cookie: What's wrong? Watch your footing!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: EEEARGH!
This makes the bridge swing violently and everyone immediately ran away while Lilac was holding Yogurt Cream Cookie. Later, they all ended up in a different place.
Lilac Cookie: I got you, Yogurt Cream Cookie!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Oh... oh... I saw my life flash before my eyes...
Lilac Cookie: I said, be careful.
Scorpion Cookie: Oh, good! You're... safe.
Lilac Cookie: You mixed something in the juice...
Scorpion Cookie: And you haven't lost your touch, I see...
Scorpion Cookie: If he just... disappears here, it's good for both of us, no?
Lilac Cookie: ... Now is not the time.
GingerBright: Yogurt Cream Cookie? Are you all right? We were stuck on the bridge for so long!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: I will be fine! I have many Cookies helping me. I just... the height must have gotten to me.
They turned around and saw in front of them a monument on the mountain in the form of the ancient heroes themselves.
GingerBrave: It's really them!
Strawberry Cookie: Like real ones.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: I remember these real heroes myself! It's a pity that they disappeared along with Cookingdom!
Lilac Cookie: This monument was built a long time ago, before the war. They are still remembered. But where they went... no one knows.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: OK! Let's keep going! The temple is just ahead.
They immediately moved on. After a while, when night fell, they reached the Jelly Serpent Temple.
GingerBrave: We made it! AND WOW! The temple is HUGE!
Alchemist Cookie: Amazing... Did Cookies really build this? If it weren't for a monster, I'd love to stay here and research it from top to bottom!
Suddenly, on the magic compass, the arrow immediately points towards the temple.
Strawberry Cookie: The compass is shaking a lot! Something as strong as Yeti must be in there.
???: Who dares defile and desecrate these grounds... BEGONE! There is nothing for you here!
Alchemist Cookie: …! Is that the monster?!
???: This is your only warning... Leave now, or your crunchy and thin bodies will be pulverized into crumbs finer than the sands...
Scorpion Cookie: I heard the monster can move freely throughout the temple. We better be... careful.
GingerBrave: I'm ready! That's it?
They immediately run away from obstacles. Later, they finally reached the entrance of the temple and entered it.
GingerBrave: Getting this far wasn't easy...!
Wizard Cookie: But... PHEW! This is just the beginning...
GingerBright: Scorpion Cookie! Have you been here before? Do you know where we should go next?
Yogurt Cream Cookie: LOOK OUT! Rocks are flying this way!
They noticed the falling rocks and immediately dodged.
???: Sweltering sands burn you, you fools! You will regret stepping into the temple!
GingerBright: The monster is trying to stop us!
Lilac Cookie: Yogurt Cream Cookie. Get behind me. Now.
Scorpion seeing this, she threw poison on all the stones and they dissolved.
Strawberry Cookie: Scorpion Cookie...! What did you just throw at those rocks? It's like they just... melted!
Alchemist Cookie: An extremely potent poison. Not available in your regular market... Scorpion Cookie? Did you make that poison yourself?
Scorpion Cookie: Maybe...? Think what you will, hehe...
Yogurt Cream Cookie: A lot more rocks are incoming!
Scorpion Cookie: Do not fear! I'm here to help!
Yogurt Cream Cookie:(Poison almost fell on him) Hey, watch it! That poison almost splashed this way!
Lilac Cookie: Yogurt Cream Cookie, are you unhurt? Scorpion Cookie... you...
Scorpion Cookie: Oopsies! My… mistake, hehe.
Alinalioness Cookie: It's more like a betrayal.
Scorpion Cookie: Don't worry, everything is under control.
Chili Pepper Cookie: If I were Alinalioness, I would agree with this suspicion.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Treasure or not, what if we don't make it out of here?!
Lilac Cookie: … We should leave.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Agh! But we DID make it THIS far...!
Lilac Cookie: You never listen, do you.
GingerBrave: H-h-hey! I see a door behind that giant altar! Is that where the treasure is?!
Custard Cookie III: That means we're going there!
Alinalioness Cookie: But-
Scorpion Cookie:(She pushed Alinalioness) Sure.
They go on and got to the place where the monster's head was with snakes instead of hair.
Alinalioness Cookie: Could it be the Gorgon Medusa? I've heard that if you look at her, you turn into stone.
Scorpion Cookie: There is absolutely no Gorgon Medusa in this temple.
???: Your folly knows no limits, does it? You dare to defy me?! Then prepare... for no mercy.
GingerBrave: The compass is pointing directly at that door!
GingerBright: We need to defeat that monster! Once we do, we can find something related to magic this time, I know it!
GingerBrave: All together, on three! ONE, TWO, THREE!
The figure of the face started flying and shooting them, but they still dodge. Suddenly GingerBrave accidentally dropped the book, which was incinerated by the figure's laser.
Dozer: How do we find out about the others?
GingerBright: Now is not the time to think about it! We have to defeat the monster!
Chili Pepper Cookie: Hey! Where's that thing with the scorpion tail?
Everyone noticed this with shock.
Lilac Cookie: I knew she'd leave us.
Wizard Cookie: Faster! Otherwise we're lost!
When they ran out into another room, they saw a green cookie in front of them. Instead of legs, he had a snake's tail, green eyes, and snakes on his head. He was chained up.
Jelly Serpent Cookie: If you lay hands on the treasure, you too shall be cursed, bound here for all eternity!
Alchemist Cookie: Whoa, hold on! What?! That's no monster! That's a COOKIE!
Alinalioness and Cloud: Why?
Alchemist Cookie: Well... Yes, you're right, there may even be cookie monsters.
Strawberry Cookie: The Cookie is shackled in chains!
GingerBright: I thought the monster, erm, no, the Cookie, was guarding the treasure? Why is the Cookie tied up in chains?
Jelly Serpent Cookie: Heed my warning, you fools! Those of great greed and folly attempted to steal this temple's sacred heart! I protected the treasure from thieves! But what did I earn? A curse! Imprisoned here, for all eternity!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: So the Naga's Heart IS REAL!
GingerBrave: Then... this cursed Cookie did nothing wrong? They're not a monster either! We need to do something! We need to help Jelly Serpent Cookie!
GingerBright: Jelly Serpent Cookie! Please stop throwing things! We can help you break the chains! Just listen, please!
Jelly Serpent Cookie: And why should one trust thieves such as you? Begone from this place! Disappear!
This immediately causes spears and rocks to fall on the cookies, but they hid.
Zombie Cookie: Fast... rocks... spears... so fast...
Alchemist Cookie: Jelly Serpent Cookie will be the end of us! What if we can't make it out of here?!
Lilac Cookie: What if they attack us as soon as they are unbound?
GingerBrave: No Cookie left behind! We can't just leave them like this.
Wizard Cookie: Sounds fair!
Alinalioness Cookie: Even if someone is a monster, we have to help if they are not to blame for the situation.
GingerBrave: Devil Cookie! Are those chains enchanted?
Devil Cookie: What?! You're asking me? No, no, no, it's just a boring normal chain! That Cookie is just tied down!
GingerBright: So let's get this straight! We can help free Jelly Serpent Cookie, but they need to stay still. How do we convince them of that?
GingerBrave: Let's make Jelly Serpent Cookie run out of energy! We can run laps and exhaust them!
Alchemist Cookie: That's your plan...? Really?
Wizard Cookie: There is no other way out. It's the only thing we can do and survive.
They start running around the snake cookie and they started chasing them in response, not suspecting that he would get entangled in chains right now.
Strawberry Cookie: Eurgh... I'm getting dizzy...! I think I'm gonna puke...
GingerBright: Just a bit more... HANG ON!
Jelly Serpent Cookie: Such gnats like you are capable of nothing but running! You'd... dare... to attempt... (They're down and snorting)
GingerBrave: Jelly Serpent Cookie's stopped! It's now or never, Lilac Cookie!
Lilac hoops cut the chains and the chains fell, freeing Jelly Serpent Cookie.
GingerBrave: The chains are broken!
Jelly Serpent Cookie: The curse... has been lifted? l... I can move!
Zombie Cookie: Moving... hair...? Oh... not right… Ew... hair…
Skater Cookie: That's what I thought, but it actually looks cool.
Jelly Serpent Cookie: Thank you for releasing me from that torment... l... I am forever grateful. Name your price, any treasure or valuable you wish.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Something specific! The Naga’s Heart!
GingerBright: Are you sure, Jelly Serpent Cookie? You kept guard over it for so long…
Jelly Serpent Cookie: I guard the temple itself, not its contents. After all, the treasures and riches you see here, belong to me and me alone.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: So does that mean... you'd be willing to sell everything in here then?
Jelly Serpent Cookie: For now, the Naga's Heart.
They give him the same Naga's heart, in the form of a turquoise heart with a snake around it.
Jelly Serpent Cookie: It is yours.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: It's so... stunning! Beautiful! This journey was totally worth it!
Jelly Serpent Cookie: And you, young ones. What do you desire?
GingerBright: Do you know anything about this compass? Zombie Cookie, turn around and show the compass to Jelly Serpent Cookie!
The zombie turned around and showed them the compass.
Jelly Serpent Cookie: This temple does not contain any similar artifacts... And one has not heard of such a wizarding city... Though one does wield magic, it is from the teachings of this temple, not of the beings known as Wizards.
Alchemist Cookie: So... the compass was reacting to magic...
Wizard Cookie: It's so... magical!
GingerBrave: That's OK! We got what we wanted, after all!
Jelly Serpent Cookie: You have saved one's life. It is a pity to force you to return empty-handed…
GingerBrave: What are you? It was enough for us to help those in need, and we just need to find Cookingdom.
Jelly Serpent Cookie: The Ancient Heroes would highlight your kind hearts if they hadn't disappeared.
GingerBrave Team: Thanks, Jelly Serpent Cookie!
Custard Cookie III: We will remember you!
The team said goodbye to them and left the temple where it was just morning. Suddenly, they came across Scorpion Cookie that was smiling cunningly.
Scorpion Cookie: This is where I take my... leave. Nothing... interests me in Yogurca anymore.
Lilac Cookie: Will you be safe?
Scorpion Cookie: The desert sands will conceal me. This is not the ending I had originally planned... The pair of you are quite the comedic duo. I await your next... escapade. (She ran away)
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Comedic duo? Huh? Exactly what about this entire journey was "comedic?"
Scorpion Cookie: Until next time…!
GingerBright: Scorpion Cookie sure was in a hurry…
Alchemist Cookie: I'm glad the two of you are safe, Yogurt Cream and Lilac Cookie.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: You had no need to worry! After all, I had Lilac Cookie to protect me!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Right, Lilac Cookie?
Lilac Cookie: *Sigh* … Sure.
After they return to Yogurca, Yogurt Cream Cookie and Lilac Cookie escort the team to the seashore.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: I'm so sorry to leave you. But I understand how much you want to get into Cookingdom. Since you don't want to go through the desert, I decided to give you a small boat.
When the crew looked towards the port, they saw a boat decorated with lilacs.
Yogurt Cream Cookie: It's all for being with us!
GingerBrave: Thanks a lot, Yogurt Cream Cookie.
The team immediately got on the boat and set sail.
GingerBrave Team: Goodbye!
Yogurt Cream Cookie: Goodbye, my friends! Maybe we'll meet again.
GingerBrave: Now we have our own boat to find the coast of the Cookingdom.
GingerBright: Now we can rest in peace.
Custard Cookie III: I'll be the captain!
Chili Pepper Cookie: Why is that?
Custard Cookie III: Because I'm... the king!
Chili Pepper Cookie:(Took away his crown) You're not the king anymore.
While the two were arguing, the others laughed at this.
