CHAPTER 10

Hollyberry Cookie was still talking to Clare, Jonathan, Tatiana, and their teacher, Mr. Stark about the Star of Passion. When Clare asked who exactly had it, Hollyberry Cookie sighed. Tatiana then asked what was wrong.

"Childe has it." said Hollyberry Cookie.

"Hold on." said Jonathan. "Don't you mean, a child?"

"I think she meant Childe, also known as Tartaglia." said Clare. "Is that what you meant, Hollyberry Cookie?" asked Clare to Hollyberry Cookie.

"It's what she meant." said Raspberry Cookie.

"So…..mind if we search for it?" asked Jonathan.

"The Star of Passion or this Childe person?" asked Tarte Tatin Cookie.

"...I'm assuming both…?" questioned Jonathan.

"Send the Star of Passion back to me once you have found it." said Hollyberry Cookie.

"Yes, my good Cookie." said Clare.

"I'll go with them." said Tarte Tatin Cookie.

"Take Raspberry Cookie with you." said Hollyberry Cookie.

Raspberry Cookie and Tarte Tatin Cookie later left with Clare, Jonathan, Tatiana, and their teacher Mr. Stark.

The hustle and bustle all over the Land of Passion was like a busy city. Seeing how the Land of Passion mainly focused on the culture of the Hollyberry Kingdom, and how the Hollyberry Kingdom was famous for its Grandberry Market, it seemed fitting. However, most of the hustle and bustle came from video game characters talking about the villains.

"So, Soren, what exactly did you see?" asked Andy.

"Yeah!" yelled the hawk laguz Janaff. "What exactly happened?"

"Well, all I can tell you was that the Red Velvet Dragon was here." proclaimed Soren.

"And what did he do?" asked Vincent of Cyberpunk 2077. "Because I'll shoot down the mother flippin' cake beast."

"He was shooting down fire from the sky…and apparently….houses were on fire." Soren said. "Cookie houses, that was." he mentioned.

"Oh, shit." said Vincent.

"What about the people?!" asked Juro Kurabe of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim in shock.

"Yeah. Those beorc, non-beorc, and the Cookies." said Janaff.

"As we speak, I am not sure who is evacuating the people." said Soren.

Clare and her two friends and their teacher were watching everything with Tarte Tatin Cookie and Raspberry Cookie.

"Is Soren out of his mind?" asked Raspberry Cookie.

Unfortunately, Soren heard everything. He and Janaff walked over to the bushes to find out what was going on. Clare was the one caught.

"Hey!" yelled Clare.

"Heh. She's not one of us." said Janaff.

"No, but I'm the one helping heal your world." said Clare. "I brought my friends and teacher with me."

Riku from Kingdom Hearts later walked over to tell the truth about Clare Hutchinson and her friends from the World of Realism to Soren and Janaff.

"So she's going to help us retrieve the Five Stars of the Golden, I am assuming?" asked Janaff.

"Ike has said something to me." said Soren.

"Of course I have." said Ike as he walked over to Soren. "Why would I not expose the truth about helping others to a best friend?"

"Oh, hi, Ike." said Clare.

"How'd it go with Hollyberry Cookie?" asked Red XIII who was accompanied with Ike, Barrett Wallace, Claudia Strife and her son Cloud. "Did she have any news about the Star of Passion?"

"She did." said Jonathan. "Childe has it."

"Oh, not the feared Harbinger of the Fatui!" yelled Claudia Strife. "He bullies Cloud!"

"If I were you, keep your son away from Tartaglia then!" yelled Barret Wallace.

"Barrett, stop." said Claudia. "Just focus on looking after my faithful son!"

"QUIET!" yelled Clare.

Everyone remained silent.

"Clare, I have told you about the constant yelling." said Mr. Stark.

"I'm surprised Jotaro never said anything to me all that time ago!" yelled Clare to her teacher.

"Alright, alright, alright!" yelled Iori Fuyusaka. "Listen, people, I've been hearing your constant yelling from over there." he said as he pointed to a Cookie House. "And let me tell you something right now. This. Needs. To. STOP!" he later hollered.

Everyone had strange looks on their faces.

"Iori…" said Juro. "What in the world…"

Iori later turned to Juro in confusion.

"Learn not to yell." said Soren.

Titania, deputy of the Greil Mercenaries, came over to yell at everyone with the green-armored lance knight Oscar. Greil was accompanied with them.

"Apologies, Titania." said Soren. "We had some…confrontation…with the people."

"Well, stop your confrontations, because the Red Velvet Dragon is present with that Childe dude." Greil said.

"Greil, it's not like you to use that word." said Titania.

"If Childe's here, we must go." said Clare.

Clare and her friends later ran off to see where the Red Velvet Dragon was.

"Hey!" yelled Vincent as he ran to catch up to everyone. "Wait for me! I planned to shoot down the dragon with a rifle!"

The fight for the Star of Passion was just beginning.

Bowser was watching everyone from his castle. There, Sephiroth was planning a spell to cast on the entirety of the World of Gaming. However, Bowser was hiding something. Apparently, he had a staff in his hand. What could Bowser possibly be planning?

"Bowser, this isss not like you." said Pitaya Dragon Cookie.

"So you returned…" said Bowser.

"The Red Velvet Dragon is taking care of everything for us." said the Black Knight. "Manfred von Karma later told us to retreat, as Childe was with him."

"What the hell?!" asked Bowser. "He told you to retreat?!"

"He thought it wassss for the best!" yelled Pitaya Dragon Cookie. "Why have two dragons out there?!"

"Shut up!" yelled Bowser.

Both Pitaya Dragon Cookie and the Black Knight remained silent.

"Sephiroth, go find Manfred." ordered Bowser to Sephiroth.

"Yes. At once." said Sephiroth.

Sephiroth then went to follow the orders of Bowser.
