CHAPTER 11

The Red Velvet Dragon, a monstrous Cake Monster, was busy burning down Cookie Houses. It was a terrible sight. However, Tartaglia, codenamed Childe, laughed it all off as he was watching the houses melt down while they were burning. As Clare and her friends were watching from a distance, she was disturbed by Childe's practices. Manfred von Karma was also there witnessing everything with the mighty Mad King Ashnard of Fire Emblem.

"Let it burn, let it burn, let it BURN!" yelled Manfred.

Unfortunately, Manfred was caught by Sephiroth, who shouted his name. Manfred turned around, only to see himself at sword point thanks to Sephiroth. Manfred was later stabbed in the stomach.

"Have no fear, Manfred von Karma." said Sephiroth. "Your sliced sacrifice will be heard all over. But how pathetic it was of you to have the Black Knight and Pitaya Dragon Cookie retreat when they could handle this job easily." Sephiroth later proclaimed.

"Sephiroth…stop this now!" yelled Manfred. "You're hurting me!"

Tatiana was disturbed by Sephiroth's filthy way of execution.

"Tatiana, wait!" yelled Mr. Stark.

"Have no fear, Land of Passion!" yelled Sephiroth after he raised his sword from the execution of Manfred von Karma. "I, Sephiroth, the One-Winged Angel, shall give this lad despair!"

"Sephiroth, no!" yelled a Hollyberrian Fruit-Picking Rival.

"Everyone, get Sephiroth!" yelled Ranulf to the Hollyberrian Fruit Picking Rivals.

The Fruit Picking Rivals later charged forth with fruit in their hands to throw at Sephiroth.

"Hey!" yelled Sephiroth. "What are you doing?!"

"It's best we hunt down the strongest pray first, Sephiroth." said Ranulf as he walked towards him.

"Ranulf?!" asked Sephiroth.

Ranulf later shifted into his cat form. His hiss later called forth the Hawk Laguz and several wyvern lords fighting against Bowser's army.

"I'm doomed, am I…" asked Sephiroth to himself.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie, while shifted into his dragon form, later swooped down to rescue Sephiroth.

"Thanks for saving me." said Sephiroth to Pitaya Dragon Cookie.

"Don't thank me yet." said Pitaya Dragon Cookie.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie later flew away with Sephiroth.

"Goddamn it!" yelled Mr. Stark.

"What do we do now?!" asked Clare.

Jonathan, Red XIII and Ike later ran forth.

"Ike! What on earth?!" asked Greil.

"Father! Let's go!" yelled Ike. "You are a part of this too!"

Greil growled and ran forth with his axe. Everyone followed forth, only to be stopped by Childe and a bunch of Feral Ones that were laguz classes of cats and tigers.

"Oh, come on!" yelled Greil."

"Think you can get past Feral Ones?" asked Childe. "I don't think so."

"...WHAT?!" asked Soren.

"The Feral Ones are laguz soldiers that have had their minds warped with a drug that makes them permanently stay in their animal forms." said Janaff to the group. "Even worse, their life spans are gradually shortened."

"Childe, let us have the Star of Passion back!" yelled Clare.

"And who are you?!" asked Childe. "An idiot not related to us?!"

"She was ordered to return the Star of Passion to Hollyberry Cookie." said Raspberry Cookie.

"So it;s best you give it up, Childe." said Tarte Tatin Cookie.

"MAKE WAY FOR HOLLYBERRY COOKIE!" Wildberry Cookie yelled.

"Make way!" yelled a Hollyberrian Knight.

"Out of my way!" yelled Hollyberry Cookie as she charged forth. Childe was knocked out.

"What on earth?!" yelled Childe.

Hollyberry Cookie then managed to retrieve the Star of Passion from Childe.

"That was so disrespectful to take that Star, Childe." said Hollyberry Cookie. "What has gotten into you?!" she later asked.

Childe kept silent. Mario and Pure Vanilla Cookie later arrived afterwards.

"Hollyberry Cookie!" yelled Mario. "Give the Star to me! I'll take it back to Central Plaza!"

Hollyberry Cookie later gave the Star to Mario. Both he and Pure Vanilla Cookie left.

"Now, Childe." said Clare. "Any last words?"

Childe later ran away.

"He's getting away!" yelled Wildberry Cookie.

"I'll catch him!" yelled Red XIII as he ran to chase Childe.

Caramel Arrow Cookie, watcher of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, came forth to explain some terrible news.

"Caramel Arrow Cookie!" yelled Titania. "What has happened?"

"His Majesty, Dark Cacao Cookie." said Caramel Arrow Cookie. "He's been fed something by the man who made the Feral Ones."

"WHAT?!" asked Janaff.

"The Laguz Raven King Naesala has been there for him, but he wasn't able to do anything for Dark Cacao Cookie." said one Dark Cacao Warrior.

"Can we be led there?" asked Mr. Stark.

"We're actually the people responsible for helping out the Land of Gaming." said Clare.

"Very well." said Caramel Arrow Cookie.

"We'll all be in the Land of Abundance." said Greil. "Clare, until we meet again….farewell."

Clare winked at Greil, later following Caramel Arrow Cookie with her friends and teacher.
