Story[]

Operation Timeguard Ch.1[]

The Beginning

GingerBrave
Huh?

I guess I dozed off…


GingerBright
Everyone was dozing off!

After all, we did run a lot…


Strawberry Cookie
Looks like we’re the only ones left on the train…

I’m a bit scared…


GingerBrave
Oh? The train’s stopped!

It’s time to get off!


GingerBright
I wonder what’s next?

I’m so excited! Each step takes us closer to our very own home!


GingerBrave
Hey!

Wait for me!


GingerBrave
Er… what’s that?
???
Arrest them!

Skater Cookie
HUH!?

Strawberry Cookie
Wh-wh-what’s going on…?

I want to get back on the train…


Zombie Cookie
Cookies… scary… angry…

GRAAAGH!

???
Don’t even think about running!

Get’em all!


GingerBrave
What’s going on!

Why are we being arrested?
I demand to- Huh?

???
GingerBrave!

Finally, at last!
Quickly, it’s safe over here!


GingerBrave
Who are you?

I can’t just leave my friends back there!

???
I’ll explain everything later

But you need to run NOW if you want to save your friends!

Hurry!

Trust me, I’m on your side!

???
I think the coast is clear…

GingerBrave
Where did they take my friends?
And seriously, who are you!?

What was that about saving them?


Croissant Cookie
The name’s Croissant Cookie.

I’m an engineer with the TBD!


GingerBrave
The TBD?

What’s that?
I’ve never even heard of it…


Croissant Cookie
It stands for Time Balance Department!

It’s responsible for monitoring and enforcing the safety of the timeline!


Croissant Cookie
You and your friends are being accused of messing up the timeline!

They were most likely taken to the TBD…


GingerBrave
Huh!? That’s impossible!

We’re just looking for a home, a home for just us Cookies!


Croissant Cookie
I know you aren’t responsible.

That’s why I’ve been looking for you!

I was on a mission and accidentally saw you and your friends through a time rift.

Croissant Cookie
I saw you escape from the Witch’s house! That’s how I know you aren’t guilty!

GingerBrave
But why does the TBD think we ruined the timeline…?

Croissant Cookie
The Director claims that you’re guilty!

GingerBrave
That’s it? Seriously?


That’s not very fair!


Croissant Cookie
The Director can come and go to any point in time in a flash!

No one doubts the Director…


Croissant Cookie
But I know who’s responsible!

I can’t just sit by and watch these accusations!

I’m going to find the true culprit and make them tell the truth!

I have to!


GingerBrave
But… why did you save me?

Why me, specifically?


Croissant Cookie
Because you were the first Cookie to escape the Witch's oven and you’ve run the longest of all Cookies!

Croissant Cookie
If we seek out abnormalities in the timeline, we’ll be able to mend them and find clues about the culprit too!

GingerBrave
Hmm… OK!

Thanks, Croissant Cookie!
Let’s go save my friends!


Croissant Cookie
This is my very own Timecraft!

We can use it to open a wormhole!


GingerBrave
All right!

First stop…
The Witch’s house!


GingerBrave
Never thought I’d have to go back there…

GingerBrave
But my friends are counting on me!

I’m not afraid!


Croissant Cookie
That’s the spirit!

Oh, and before we leave…


Croissant Cookie
Wear these goggles.

If you don’t you might get lost in time!


GingerBrave
!!!

I won’t take them off!


Croissant Cookie
Ready? OK!

Time travel!
WOOT!

The Witch’s House (1)

Croissant Cookie
The Witch’s house…

GingerBrave
Whoa…

Are we… really in the past?


GingerBrave
It’s been so long since I’ve escaped this place, but it’s still terrifying…!

GingerBrave
Hey… hey!

Is that…
That’s me inside!?


Croissant Cookie
Keep a close eye on yourself!

You’re the only one who can see discrepancies in your timeline!


GingerBrave
Where is this?

Inside the oven?

It’s getting hot in here!

I refuse to be eaten alive!


GingerBrave
I will not allow that!

GingerBrave
Wherever this is…

I will escape!

The Witch is away!

Now’s our chance!


GingerBrave
Is everyone ready?

It’s time to break out of here, once and for all!


Strawberry Cookie
This seems dangerous…

We don’t know what’s out there…


GingerBright
Strawberry Cookie’s right!

We shouldn’t be too reckless.


Skater Cookie
But we can’t just stay here!

Strawberry Cookie
Well yeah, but…

GingerBrave
Nothing is going to change if we just sit around!

Let’s find a place just for us Cookies!


GingerBright
... You’re right!

I’m coming with you!


GingerBrave
There must be a better place, a paradise waiting just for us!

But first, we need to escape.


GingerBright
So how are we going to do that?

GingerBrave
Easy!

We’ll just jump out the window!


Strawberry Cookie
...

Huh?!


GingerBrave
Hey! The window’s locked!?

Did the Witch lock it?


GingerBrave
HUH?!

Croissant Cookie
That’s it!

The culprit locked the window!


GingerBrave
There’s no other way to escape…

The Witch will find everyone for sure!


Croissant Cookie
We need to help you, er… him!

Let’s jump back further in time to when the Witch opens the window!

The Witch’s House (2)

GingerBrave
The window’s a bit high, but if everyone works together the jump’ll be nice and safe!

GingerBrave
Together, we can do anything!

GingerBright
Strawberry Cookie! If you’re scared, imagine a horde of Jellies, just waiting for us!

GingerBrave
Phew… we made it!

We’re lucky there was some soft grass under the window!


GingerBright
Is everyone in one piece?

No one’s crumbled, right?


Strawberry Cookie
We’re fine… But did we really survive after jumping out the window?

Skater Cookie
And where should we go now?

We need to hurry!


GingerBright
How about those woods?

That forest might be a good place to hide.


GingerBrave
Good idea, GingerBright!

… Hey, what’s that…?
Over there, in the cabbage patch!


Skater Cookie
Are those…

They’re some Cookie’s legs?


GingerBrave
It’s a Cookie!

Quick, let’s yank them out!


GingerBright
Urgh…

So… heavy…!


GingerBrave
A little bit more!
HA! Finally!

GingerBrave
Ow, ow, ow…

Huh? Who’re you?

???
Oooh…

Urgh…


Skater Cookie
Yo…

I can’t understand anything…!


GingerBright
Hello there!

What’s your name?

???
Zom…bie… Cookie…

Urgh…


GingerBright
Pleased to meet you, Zombie Cookie!

GingerBright
We’re going to a happy land for all Cookies!

Why don’t you join us?


Zombie Cookie
Hap…py…

What… happy?


Strawberry Cookie
Er… it’s… AH!

It’s a safe place with lots of Jellies and no Witch!


Zombie Cookie
Go… GO…!

Para…dise… JELLIES! $&#*@!


Skater Cookie
Then it’s settled!

Let’s go, together!


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie!

Wait for us!


GingerBrave
We’ll be completely away from the Witch’s grasp once we make it past the garden!

GingerBrave
Perfect!

Everyone’s escaped!


Croissant Cookie
We’re done here!

Where did you go after escaping the Witch’s house?


GingerBrave
Jelly Bug Forest!

Croissant Cookie
OK then!

It’s time for lift-off!
WOOT!

Jelly Bug Forest (1)

Croissant Cookie
So this is Jelly Bug Forest

This area is filled with flowers!


GingerBrave
Yup!

We met Fairy Cookie here and got chased by a swarm of Jelly Worms!


GingerBrave
The Witch’s house is finally behind us!

GingerBright
It sure is peaceful here!

Look at all these lovely flowers.


Zombie Cookie
Trees…

Good…


Strawberry Cookie
Looks like Zombie Cookie likes it here too.

Gingerbright
I was wondering…

Why was Zombie Cookie in the cabbage patch?


Skater Cookie
Escaped the oven and got caught by the Witch?

Maybe thrown into the garden?


Strawberry Cookie
Just talking about the Witch is making me scared…

GingerBrave
Hmm… We should keep moving!

Let’s find somewhere the Witch will never find us!


GingerBrave
We’ve been running for so long…

Let’s take a short break.

???
Who… who are you?

Zombie Cookie
Small…

Cookie…
Wi…ngs…?


Fairy Cookie
My name is Fairy Cookie…

Pleased to meet you…


GingerBrave
Hi! I’m GingerBrave!

We’re looking for a home for just us Cookies!


Fairy Cookie
Oh… Then, what about here…?

You’ll love the forest, and it welcomes you too…


Fairy Cookie
I can tell you more…

This way, please…


GingerBrave
Have you stayed here long, Fairy Cookie?

Fairy Cookie
Yes…

This is a very peaceful place…


Strawberry Cookie
This place seems very nice…

Skater Cookie
It is!

And it’s an awesome place for some mad riding!


GingerBrave
Maybe we can just stay here!

GingerBright
Somewhere the Witch can’t find us!

I’m glad we found it so soon!
But… why’d it get dark so quickly?


GingerBrave
What are those things!?

They’re huge!


Fairy Cookie
They are Jelly Worms…

Do not be afraid, they are nice.


Skater Cookie
They’re getting closer!

Are you sure they’re safe?


Fairy Cookie
Oh… This is new…

They’ve never come this close before…


Fairy Cookie
I know these woods…

Come, this way.
It will be safe here.


GingerBrave
Follow Fairy Cookie!

Hurry!


GingerBrave
So er…

Fairy Cookie, where are we?


Fairy Cookie
My favorite cave…

There are lots of pretty, glowing mushrooms here…


GingerBright
Is it safe here?

Zombie Cookie
#@!&*!

GRAGH!


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie!

What’s wrong?


Zombie Cookie
Behind…

GRAAH!


GingerBrave
Behind us?

GAH!
Those things followed us!

Fairy Cookie!

Which way!?


Fairy Cookie
Don’t worry…

They will turn around at the mouth of the cave…


Strawberry Cookie
Er…

They’re still coming this way.


Skater Cookie
And…

There’s a lot more of them!


GingerBrave
They’re dropping down from above too…!

Skater Cookie
Fairy Cookie…

You didn’t lead us here on purpose…
Did you?


GingerBright
No, it can’t be…

Fairy Cookie
They usually never come inside this cave…

GingerBrave
Don’t suspect Fairy Cookie!

We’re all Cookies here, all of us!


GingerBright
GingerBrave!

Look out!


GingerBrave
ACK!

They’re everywhere!


Fairy Cookie
Watch out…!

GingerBrave
Huh?

Fairy Cookie
Are you…

Are you injured…?


GingerBright
WOW! Fairy Cookie!

You created a shield!?


Fairy Cookie
Quickly… More of them are crawling this way…

GingerBright
We need to get out of here!

GingerBright
We’ve made it out of the cave…

But now what!?


Skater Cookie
We gotta hurry and find a place to hide!

GingerBrave
Let’s hide under those flowers!

Maybe they won’t find us under there!


GingerBright
HEEELP!

A Jelly Worm caught me!
NOOO!


Croissant Cookie
Do you remember how you escaped from this?

GingerBrave
By hiding under a flower!
We figured that they didn’t notice Fairy Cookie because she was so small.

Croissant Cookie
That’s it then!

Let’s travel back a bit further and make a place for you to hide!

Jelly Bug Forest (2)

GingerBrave
Phew…

They crawled past us…


Fairy Cookie
Why did they start chasing us…
I used to fly by them all the time…

They never did anything…


Strawberry Cookie
Maybe they couldn’t see you?

You’re… quite tiny…

They just crawled past us once we hid too…

GingerBrave
I think Strawberry Cookie’s right!

Skater Cookie
I’m sorry, Fairy Cookie.

I shouldn’t have suspected you…
That wasn’t cool, was it?


Fairy Cookie
It’s ok…

I thought everyone would love the forest…


GingerBright
Maybe every Cookie doesn’t have the same idea about a home.
Thanks for the help, Fairy Cookie!

When we find our very own place, we’ll be sure to invite you over!


Fairy Cookie
I will wait…

GingerBrave
And off we go, once again!

GingerBrave
Welp! That’s that!

Another problem solved.


GingerBrave
Next is Coconut Coast!

We met Ninja Cookie there.


Croissant Cookie
The coordinates for Coconut Coast, when you first met Ninja Cookie are…

AH-HA! Found it!

Got your goggles on?

Good, let’s go!

Faraway Ocean (1)

GingerBrave
WOW!

Is this… is this the ocean?
I’ve never seen so much water!


GingerBright
It’s so… blue…!

All that running was worth it!


Zombie Cookie
Waves… Fun…

GRAH!


Strawberry Cookie
Hey, where’re you going?

Are you… jumping into the ocean!?


GingerBrave
You don’t know how to swim!

Everyone, stop Zombie Cookie!


Skater Cookie
Wow…

How is Zombie Cookie so fast?


Zombie Cookie
BLEARBLBLBL!

Zombie Cookie
... !@#%!?
???
Do not swim unless you have thoroughly stretched!

GingerBrave
Hey!

Zombie Cookie’s stopped!


GingerBright
Thanks for stopping Zombie Cookie!

My name’s GingerBright.
And you are…?


Ninja Cookie
I… am Ninja Cookie.

My training was interrupted by this one’s… noise.

Have you come to train along the coast as well?

GingerBrave
No!

We’re running away to find our own land!


GingerBrave
Seems like you’re looking for something too!

Ninja Cookie
I am searching the waters for my lost shuriken.

Ninja Cookie
I have misplaced them after practicing my shadow clone technique.

GingerBright
We’ll help!

Let’s find them together!


Skater Cookie
Yo, where should we start?

I can search faster thanks to my board.


Ninja Cookie
You have my gratitude.

I am in your debt.


GingerBright
There’s only one left, but I can’t see anything.

Skater Cookie
The waves won’t stop either…

The water’s too rough to find anything.


Ninja Cookie
Has it been swept away?

GingerBright
I hope we find it soon…

It seems to be very special to you.


Zombie Cookie
Shiny…

In water…!


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie!

You can’t just run into the water!


GingerBrave
Oh no! Zombie Cookie’s being swept away by the waves!

GingerBright
But look there: the missing shuriken!

That’s why Zombie Cookie ran in!


Zombie Cookie
#@!$*#@!$%

BLRBLBLBL!
BLUBGRAH!


GingerBrave
Hold on, Zombie Cookie!

I’m coming!


GingerBright
Huh!?

But you can’t swim either!


Ninja Cookie
Leave this to me!

Skater Cookie
Zombie Cookie is getting further away from the shuriken!

What do we do?


Ninja Cookie
Have I miscalculated…!?

GingerBrave
Is this the discrepancy?

Does something happen to Zombie Cookie?


GingerBright
No, NO!

A giant wave just covered Zombie Cookie!


Skater Cookie
And what’s this?

It’s the shuriken!
Only the shuriken made it out!


GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie!

We need to go back earlier and stop that giant wave!


GingerBrave
We need to save Zombie Cookie before the sogginess is too much to handle!

Croissant Cookie
Roger that!
Faraway Ocean (2)

Skater Cookie
The shuriken will sink at this rate!

Ninja Cookie
...

Such tools can be found later.


GingerBrave
Go, Ninja Cookie!

You can do it!


Zombie Cookie
#@!$*#@!$%

BLRBLBLBL! GRAGH!


Ninja Cookie
A little… bit… more…

Zombie Cookie
Graaagh…

GingerBrave
Zombie Cookie!

You’re alright!


Zombie Cookie
Found… thing…

Urp…


GingerBright
Ninja Cookie!

Is that the missing shuriken in your hand?


Ninja Cookie
The wind blew in our favor.

Strawberry Cookie
Then what’s Zombie Cookie holding?

Skater Cookie
A shell…

Yo, seriously?


GingerBright
We should help Zombie Cookie dry up.

Zombie Cookie
Urp…

Blurgh…


GingerBright
Stay still, Zombie Cookie.

You’re soggy!


GingerBright
Looks like Zombie Cookie’s dough is all dried up again.

We should head out soon.


GingerBrave
Ninja Cookie!

Do you know where we might be able to find other Cookies?


Ninja Cookie
I have not seen other Cookies during my training… but I recall lights from that direction.

GingerBright
Then let’s head over there!

I’ve got a good feeling about this!


GingerBrave
Let’s GO!

GingerBrave
That was a close call…

I’m glad that Zombie Cookie made it through…


GingerBrave
Are my friends ok?

I miss them…


Croissant Cookie
Ahem…

Where next?


GingerBrave
Crystal Pudding Cave!

It’s super dangerous there, so we need to be careful!

Crystal Pudding Underworld (1)

Croissant Cookie
Is someone crying?

What happened here?


GingerBrave
I remember what happened!

Cream Puff Cookie Cream Puff Cookie is crying because her magic spell failed.


GingerBrave
This place was a lot further than I thought…

GingerBright
Is this a candy mine?

And look over there!
So many Bear Jellies!


Skater Cookie
A short lap around this place is like a rad feast!

Zombie Cookie
Bear Jellies…

Good… Yum…


GingerBrave
Hey, do you hear… sniffling?

Where’s it coming from?


Skater Cookie
I hear it too!

It’s coming from deeper inside the cave!


Strawberry Cookie
Is it a… ghost…?

Zombie Cookie
Ghosts… scary…

#@!$%!


GingerBrave
Maybe a Cookie got lost?

Let’s head inside!


GingerBrave
GAH! Something just moved over there…!

GingerBright
!!!

It’s a giant Crystal Pudding!


Skater Cookie
First Jelly Worms and now Crystal Puddings?

Are all caves this scary!?


Strawberry Cookie
Let’s hurry through…

GingerBright
The path splits…

Which way do we go?


Zombie Cookie
Scared… ghost…

Graaagh… scared…


GingerBrave
We went deep into the cave and met Cream Puff Cookie and Alchemist Cookie Alchemist Cookie too.
I have a hunch…

What if a Crystal Puddling suddenly swoops down?


Croissant Cookie
That’s a good hunch!

I’ll prep things up!


GingerBrave
GAH!

Crystal Puddings are swarming this way!


Skater Cookie
Quick, over here!

This looks like a good place to hide!


GingerBrave
Uh-oh! My friends went down the wrong path…! Cream Puff Cookie isn’t that way!

GingerBrave
We need to head back further, before Cream Puff Cookie’s spell failed!

Croissant Cookie
Roger that!

Time for another jump!
WOO- ???


Croissant Cookie
Something’s wrong with my Timecraft!

GingerBrave
Oh no!

What happened?


Croissant Cookie
It can’t get the coordinates locked!

Without a lock, it’s impossible to open a wormhole!


GingerBrave
Wh-what’s happening?

The Timecraft is shaking really, really hard!


Croissant Cookie
Hang on, GingerBrave!

We need to make an emergency landing!


Croissant Cookie
A wormhole!?

What… who opened this!?


GingerBrave
It’s dragging us in…!
Crystal Pudding Underworld (2)

GingerBrave
Hey! I hear a voice along with that crying sound…!

Maybe they can help us!


Skater Cookie
The sound is getting closer…

Someone’s nearby!

???
… can you do that?
???
*Sniffle*

I’m… I'm so sorry.


Strawberry Cookie
A Cookie is talking with… a ghost?

Wait, that’s not a ghost…


GingerBrave
Hi! I’m GingerBrave!

Why are you crying?


GingerBright
The Crystal Puddings here are dangerous! Let’s find a safe place together.

Cream Puff Cookie
Oh… My name’s Cream Puff Cookie.

And we shouldn’t leave here…

This is all my fault…
*Sniffle*
???
Hey! What’s the big idea?

This cave is my alchemy lab!


Skater Cookie
Alchemy?

WOW! That’s so cool!


Alchemist Cookie
The name’s Alchemist Cookie.
Cream Puff Cookie came here to practice magic, but she only riled up the Crystal Puddings!

Cream Puff Cookie
I really didn’t mean to…

I’m sorry.


Alchemist Cookie
I just concocted a tonic that will calm the Crystal Puddings down…

But they hide hugh up in the cave…


Alchemist Cookie
Anyway, this place is dangerous.

You should leave now.


GingerBrave
We’re looking for a home!

A home for just us Cookies!

You must’ve read a lot of books!

Do you know somewhere Cookies like us can call home & paradise?


Alchemist Cookie
Hmm. A home. Paradise…

I’ve read about a city in the desert before but…

Help me calm down the Crystal Puddings and I’ll tell you everything I know!

GingerBright
Really!?

OK! Leave it to us!


Alchemist Cookie
Good, good.

Here, take this tonic.


Strawberry Cookie
But how do we make them take this tonic?
Do we have to climb up somewhere very high…?

GingerBright
AH! We can stack Bear Jellies up, up, up and just climb!
There were a lot of Bear Jellies back there!

Skater Cookie
Good idea!

It’s worth a shot!


GingerBrave
Phew…

We did it.


GingerBrave
Despite the problem with the Timecraft, it looks like we made it to the proper time!

Croissant Cookie
Yeah…

We made it…


GingerBrave
What’s wrong?

I thought the repairs were going along well…


Croissant Cookie
I put us in grave danger…

It’s because I can’t control or predict time…


Croissant Cookie
If that wormhole didn’t open…


This is all my fault.


GingerBrave
What are you talking about?

If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve been arrested!


Croissant Cookie
But…

If only I could control time better…

Time Rift (1)

Croissant Cookie
So next up is…

After meeting Cream Puff & Alchemist Cookie…


Croissant Cookie
Huh? A wormhole!

But I didn’t input any coordinates yet!?


GingerBrave
We’re getting sucked in!

I’ve got a bad feeling about this!


GingerBrave
Wh-wh-where are we?

Croissant Cookie
We passed through the wormhole.

These time coordinates… Even the TBD doesn’t know about this… Who-

???
Enjoying time travel?

Croissant Cookie
Who’re you!?

Timekeeper Cookie
Allow me to introduce myself.

I… am Timekeeper Cookie.


GingerBrave
Why’d you bring us here?

Timekeeper Cookie
Were it not for me, you would have met a dire fate.

Your Timecraft is malfunctioning, no?


GingerBrave
How… how did you know that?

Timekeeper Cookie
Simple really. I was merely looking at things from here and saw that you were in peril.

Croissant Cookie
Did you open that wormhole?

And were you watching us through a time rift?


Timekeeper Cookie
Watching you through time?

No, no.
I LIVE here.


Croissant Cookie
But… but then you’d become lost in time! The temporal fluctuations alone would-

Croissant Cookie
Wait! Who exactly are you!?

How does the TBD not know of someone as powerful as you!?


Timekeeper Cookie
The TBD? Ah, the Time Balance Department. Such a boring and dull place. I like it here much more.

Croissant Cookie
Amazing. You can control time…

You can fix anything then…!
Unlike me…


GingerBrave
Don’t say that, Croissant Cookie!

C’mon, we can do this.
We’ll find the real culprit!


Timekeeper Cookie
Indeed.

You will succeed.


GingerBrave
... Huh?

How do you know that?


Timekeeper Cookie
Have I not mentioned it yet?

I am always watching.
In, over, and through time.


Timekeeper Cookie
But my curiosity has been piqued.

Tell me, Croissant Cookie.
What has transpired?

Time Rift (2)

Croissant Cookie
... And that’s how we ended up here.

Timekeeper Cookie
My initial assumptions were correct then.

Croissant Cookie
I need to help GingerBrave rescue his friends and find who is responsible for messing up the timeline.

Croissant Cookie
But I’m not strong enough…

Timekeeper Cookie
Chin up, young one.

Within you, I sense great potential


Croissant Cookie
Huh… Really?

Will I become as strong as you one day?


Timekeeper Cookie
Guaranteed.

I will tell you exactly how to become like me.


GingerBrave
Power isn’t the answer to everything, though…

Croissant Cookie
But if Timekeeper Cookie didn’t help…

We’d be lost in time, who knows where or when!


GingerBrave
But…

Croissant Cookie
Thank you, Timekeeper Cookie.

Timekeeper Cookie
I shall assist at any time you beckon.

Timekeeper Cookie
I shall be waiting.

We will meet again.

Operation Timeguard Ch.2[]

Dazzling Crystal Pudding Cave (1)

GingerBrave
We're here!

It's time to use that tonic on the Crystal Puddings!


GingerBrave
Er...

Hey, Croissant Cookie?
What's with the long face?


Croissant Cookie
I've been thinking...

I'm great at fixing things and I love doing it too.


Croissant Cookie
I was recruited to the TBD because I created the Timecraft out of a busted old derelict...

Croissant Cookie
Sure, that was an achievement.

But right now, I feel so... helpless.


Timekeeper Cookie
Of course you do.

You were always the best, that is, until now.


GingerBrave
GAH!

Timekeeper Cookie!?
Where'd you come from?


Timekeeper Cookie
Like I previously mentioned.

I am keeping an eye on you.
And, oh dear Croissant Cookie...


Timekeeper Cookie
I know how you feel, little engineer.

But feeling disappointment is much better than monotony.


Croissant Cookie
Huh?

How could you have known-


Timekeeper Cookie
GingerBrave and his friends will be in sight soon. This is where I take my leave!

GingerBrave
Really? Gone? Just like that!?

This isn't the time for games...!
We need to keep watch!


Zombie Cookie
Bear Jellies...

Heavy... hungry...


GingerBright
Zombie Cookie?

You can't just munch on those now, hehe!


GingerBrave
Where should we put these?

Alchemist Cookie
Start stacking them here.

They seem to pass through this area from time to time.


GingerBrave
OK!

It's time to build a Bear Jelly mountain!


GingerBrave
*Oof... URGH!*

WHEW!
Just a bit more!


Zombie Cookie
Many... MANY...

Heavy... Graaagh...


Strawberry Cookie
It might be easier if...

we carry them together...


Skater Cookie
Count me in too!

Zombie Cookie
Raaah?

Not heavy...?
Thank... you...


Cream Puff Cookie
Let... let me help too!

Cream Puff Cookie
EEK!

GingerBright
Cream Puff Cookie!

What happened?
Is everything OK?


Cream Puff Cookie
A Bear Jelly got blasted away.

I'm sorry...


GingerBrave
Don't worry about it!

We can just find more Bear Jellies!


GingerBrave
We did it!

I feel as tall as the Witch on top of this!


GingerBright
It seems a bit... shaky...

Cream Puff Cookie
Oh! I can cast a spell to make it sturdy!

Alchemist Cookie
Nope. That could make things more dangerous!

Cream Puff Cookie
Jellius Ex... Extremus!

Zombie Cookie
$@!!%@!!#...!!!

Skater Cookie
HUH!?

The Bear Jellies are falling out!


Cream Puff Cookie
Oops! Wait, I can do this!

Let me try again...!
*Whoosh*


Cream Puff Cookie
Uh oh... More are falling out!

Just one more try!
*WHOOSH*


Skater Cookie
Half of the Bear Jellies have disappeared...

Not cool.


Cream Puff Cookie
I'm so sorry...

I just wanted to help but...


GingerBright
It's OK!

Your help is always welcome!


Cream Puff Cookie
One more time...

Jellius Extremus!


Cream Puff Cookie
Oh no...

I failed again...


Alchemist Cookie
Bear Jellies are flying around everywhere!

Skater Cookie
Not cool, yo...

We're gonna have to start over from scratch.


GingerBrave
Not all of the Bear Jellies were supposed to disappear...

This is what's changed!

A crystal laser is going to fire soon!

But without any Bear Jellies, we can't take cover!


Croissant Cookie
We'll need to use that tonic before Cream Puff Cookie casts a spell...!
Dazzling Crystal Pudding Cave (2)

GingerBrave
Look over there!

Lots of Crystal Puddings are heading this way...!


Skater Cookie
I think all that magic made them stronger...

Alchemist Cookie
Let's stop for now, Cream Puff Cookie!

At this rate, my laboratory will become a pile of dust!

I'll take care of this.

Everyone, get to a safe spot!


Cream Puff Cookie
But this is my fault...
I want to help too...!

I have to help everyone!


GingerBright
Cream Puff Cookie...

Alchemist Cookie
OK then... Let's give it one more shot.

But if something bad happens, no more magic for today.

I'll do some research to find a more effective method.

Cream Puff Cookie
Alchemist Cookie... Everyone...

I'm sorry.


Cream Puff Cookie
I won't give up...!

JELLIUS EXTREMUS!


Alchemist Cookie
It worked!

The Bear Jellies are stuck together!
Good job, Cream Puff Cookie!


Cream Puff Cookie
Did... did I really just do that?

Alchemist Cookie
I'm sorry I didn't trust you.

That was a remarkable spell!


Cream Puff Cookie
Thank you, Alchemist Cookie!

GingerBrave
Now's our chance!

Let's hurry and use Alchemist Cookie's tonic!


Skater Cookie
YEAH! It worked!

The Crystal Puddings are calming down!


Alchemist Cookie
Of course it did! Great job!

As promised, I'll tell you what I know about this "paradise."


GingerBrave
OK!

Let's climb down!


Croissant Cookie
And that's that!

It looks like this moment in time is fixed and stabilized!


GingerBrave
Oh, but after we use the tonic, we end... up...

Croissant Cookie
Why?

What happens next?


Strawberry Cookie
Huh?

This thing is shaking again...


Cream Puff Cookie
But I didn't use any magic!

Skater Cookie
It wasn't Cream Puff Cookie's magic...!

Something hit the pile of Bear Jellies!


GingerBright
Look over there, it's a giant crystal!

And it's shooting lasers!

Bear Jellies are flying around everywhere!

GingerBrave
We're going to fall!

AAAH!


GingerBrave
We fall down and end up in an amusement park.

With scary pumpkins!


GingerBrave
Wait a second...

Are we going to get stuck there!?
Let's hurry, Croissant Cookie!


Croissant Cookie
Roger that!

It's time for lift-off!

Pumpkin Land of Fear (1)

GingerBrave
I forgot how creepy this place was...
Too many scary rides.

And a dangerous train.
*Shudder*


Croissant Cookie
Rides and trains?

Let's take a closer look!


GingerBrave
Don't say I didn't warn you...

GingerBrave
Ow...

Urgh, my head...


Strawberry Cookie
GingerBrave!

Are you OK?


GingerBrave
Where... am I?

Strawberry Cookie
We fell down...

We're still in the Crystal Pudding Cave...


Strawberry Cookie
I was so worried and scared you wouldn't wake up...

GingerBrave
I... I think I remember.

It's like I woke up from a nightmare.

That laser fired at us and we fell into this... hole?

Wait, where's everyone else!?


Strawberry Cookie
When I opened my eyes it was just you and me here...

Strawberry Cookie
Oh!

Over there...!


GingerBrave
Is that... IT IS!

It's an amusement park!


Strawberry Cookie
I'm scared...

GingerBrave
Everyone else might be lost in the dark here, just like us.

GingerBrave
GAH!

What are these pumpkin things!?
Are they from the park...?


Strawberry Cookie
W-w-why are they surrounding us...?

GingerBrave
Hey! We're looking for our friends!

Have you seen any other Cookies?

There's a Cookie that looks a bit like me, a Cookie on a skateboard, and a... um... zombie-shaped Cookie!

Strawberry Cookie
They're nodding...

Does that mean they know where everyone is?


GingerBrave
Looks like they want us to follow them.

C'mon! Let's go!


GingerBrave
They led us to this roller coaster.

Did our friends take a ride on this?


GingerBrave
I don't see anyone though.

Hey! Stop shoving us!
Why're you-


Strawberry Cookie
They're pushing us into the roller coaster...!

But why...?


GingerBrave
OK, OK!

We get it!
We’ll get on the roller coaster.


GingerBrave
Whew!

The ride’s over!


GingerBrave
That was really fun!

But seriously… where are our friends?


Strawberry Cookie
My head is spinning…

Strawberry Cookie
Huh…? What now…?

Where are they taking us this time?


GingerBrave
Hey, we really need to get going!

It looks like our friends aren’t here in this amusement park.


GingerBrave
Hey!

What’s the big idea?
LET GO!


Strawberry Cookie
Now it’s a pirate ship ride…

It’s swinging really fast!


GingerBrave
Hey now, be careful!

That thing almost hit us!

Maybe they’ll take us to our friends after we get off this ride…?

Strawberry Cookie
But why are they laughing…

They’re starting to scare me…


GingerBrave
Something strange is going on here.

Strawberry Cookie, let’s make a run for it!


GingerBrave
*Huff… puff…*

They’re still chasing us…!


Strawberry Cookie
It feels like we’ve been on the run ever since escaping the Oven…

Strawberry Cookie
Watch out!

A train is coming this way!
What do we do…?

Those scary pumpkins are getting closer! We’re trapped…!

GingerBrave
Quick, jump on the train!

It’s the only way out of here and they won’t be able to chase us!


Strawberry Cookie
That is a very fast train...

I don't think we can make it!


GingerBrave
It passed by too quickly!

And those things are closing in!


GingerBrave
We bumped into Vampire Cookie Vampire Cookie on that train and learned which way to go...!

Croissant Cookie
Let's delay the train for a bit!

That might buy some time to hop on!


GingerBrave
You can delay the train?

Can you really do that?


Croissant Cookie
I added a new feature to the Timecraft while repairing it!

Croissant Cookie
It hasn't been tested yet but...

It should, most likely, probably work!

Pumpkin Land of Fear (2)

Strawberry Cookie
That was… too close…

We barely made it on the train…


GingerBrave
But it looks like we lost those pumpkins! Finally…!

Strawberry Cookie
I’ve been wondering…

Where is this train taking us?


GingerBrave
Hey. There’s someone in that last compartment.

Let’s ask!

???
Hmm?

What’s with that serious look…?


GingerBrave
We were being chased!

Who are you and how come you’re so… relaxed?


Vampire Cookie
*Yawn*

Name’s Vampire Cookie.
How about a glass of grape juice?


Strawberry Cookie
This isn’t the best time to be sipping juice…

GingerBrave
We’re looking for our own paradise!

A home for just us Cookies, but we were chased onto this train.


GingerBrave
We were helping Alchemist Cookie Alchemist Cookie but fell into a hole. And we don’t know where our friends are…

Vampire Cookie
Alchemist Cookie?

*Chuckle*
That must’ve been tiring.


Strawberry Cookie
You know Alchemist Cookie?

Vampire Cookie
Of course I do.

She’s always wandering around, truth this, truth that…


Vampire Cookie
Also something about a book in some faraway desert city.

Oh, and she’s my younger sister.


GingerBrave
She was going to tell us something about a paradise! Do you know anything? Can you please tell us?

Vampire Cookie
Just relax…

Any place with a glass of juice can become a paradise.


GingerBrave
At least tell us how to get out of here!

Strawberry Cookie
Please…

We need to find our friends…


Vampire Cookie
Fine… You see that giant tent?

That’s your ticket out of here, but I don’t know or care where it goes.

If you see Alchemist Cookie again, you should ask her about this so-called “paradise.”

GingerBrave
Thanks!

C’mon Strawberry Cookie!
This is our stop!


GingerBrave
YES! We made it onto the train.

Great work, Croissant Cookie.
That was awesome!


Croissant Cookie
Yup! I LOVE this job!

Where to next, GingerBrave?


GingerBrave
Strawberry Cookie and I reunite with our friends at Ice Cream Mountain!
We bump into Wizard Cookie Wizard Cookie there who ends up helping us!

Croissant Cookie
Got it!

Coordinates are... SET!

Spooky Ghost Town (1)

Croissant Cookie
This still looks like Pumpkin Land.

Is this really the way to Ice Cream Mountain?


GingerBrave
I've never been here before...

It's scarier than Pumpkin Land!


Croissant Cookie
But these are the right coordinates.

Could this be... sabotage!?


GingerBright
Where are we…?

The last thing I remember is falling through a hole…


Skater Cookie
It’s an amusement park.

But it’s like… a super spooky amusement park.


GingerBright
Where are GingerBrave and Strawberry Cookie?

GingerBrave
Look, over there! It's GingerBright, Zombie Cookie, and Skater Cookie!

GingerBrave
So this is where they ended up!

It's great to see them safe and sound.


Zombie Cookie
Scared… ghost…

Hide… hide… ghosts…


Skater Cookie
Hey, Zombie Cookie?

What’s wrong?


Zombie Cookie
Ghost… ghost…

Zombie Cookie
GRAAAGH!


Gragh?


Skater Cookie
It’s cool, Zombie Cookie.

That’s not a ghost!
Just a marshmallow fox.


GingerBright
Did… did that fox just look into my eyes…?
Hey!

It’s running away!
Where’s it going?


Skater Cookie
Yo, looks like that fox wants us to follow.

It’s wagging its tail!


GingerBright
It’s so dark I can barely see my hands!

EW! Cobwebs…!


GingerBright
And where did that marshmallow fox run off to?

I’m pretty sure it ran this way…


Skater Cookie
Seriously...

How does Zombie Cookie run THAT fast at times like this...!?

It's way too dark...

I can't see anything!


GingerBright
Where are we?

Which way did we come from?


GingerBright
Did Zombie Cookie get lost too?

GingerBrave
Maybe this is what's wrong with the timeline!

GingerBrave
But I've never been here before...

I don't know how to help them!


Croissant Cookie
Didn't GingerBright say something about following a marshmallow fox?

Croissant Cookie
What if we go back to when they first see the marshmallow fox?

GingerBrave
Sounds like a plan!

Hang on, friends.
Help is on the way!

Spooky Ghost Town (2)

Skater Cookie
ACK! What’s this!?

Where are all these ghosts coming from?


Zombie Cookie
SCARY…!

Graaagh! #@&!*#%!


GingerBright
Zombie Cookie, wait!

Don’t run off alone…!


Skater Cookie
Seriously…

How does Zombie Cookie run THAT fast at times like this…!?


Zombie Cookie
Tail…

Tail…?
… Cookie?


Skater Cookie
Hey!

There you are!


GingerBright
Is that another Cookie?

Who is it?

???
Oh…?

What’s your name…?


GingerBright
Hi! My name’s GingerBright!

And what’s your name?


Kumiho Cookie
...

Kumiho… Cookie. What brings you here?


GingerBright
We were looking for Zombie Cookie!

Skater Cookie
Are you a Cookie who lives here…?

Kumiho Cookie
A Cookie?

Do I look like a Cookie to you?


GingerBright
Hehe, if you’re not a Cookie, then what are you?

Kumiho Cookie
No. It’s nothing.

Aren’t you cute!


Zombie Cookie
Not Cookie…

Not.. Cookie…?
Yes… Cookie…?


Kumiho Cookie
Oh, but I am a Cookie.

Hmph!


GingerBright
Now now, Zombie Cookie!

You can’t just grab Kumiho Cookie’s tail like that… It’s not nice!


Zombie Cookie
No touch… tail…

What… this…?


Skater Cookie
What’d ya find this time?

It looks like a box?
Or… a coffin…


Zombie Cookie
Big… box…

Jellies?


Kumiho Cookie
Oooh, you don’t want to open that, cutie pie.

Especially if you’re easily scared.


Zombie Cookie
Graaah…?

What… Inside…?
Secret… No…?


Kumiho Cookie
I warned you!

Zombie Cookie
Inside… box…

Something…?


GingerBright
YIKES!

They’re Skeleton Gentlemen!


Skater Cookie
RUN FOR IT!

GingerBright
Kumiho Cookie!

Can we escape this way!?


???
...

...


GingerBright
Huh? Where’d this marshmallow fox come from? Did Kumiho Cookie just disappear into thin air?

Skater Cookie
YO, GingerBright!

This way, hurry!
I found a door!


GingerBright
OK!

Wait for me!


GingerBrave
I think we did it...!

I didn't know this happened to my friends when we were separated.


Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave, I've been thinking.

I wonder why you were accused of ruining the timeline to begin with?


GingerBrave
I have no clue...!

All we did was get off a train and then, out of nowhere, we were being arrested.


Croissant Cookie
I didn't think about this until now.

I was too preoccupied with fixing time and trying to find the culprit.

The fact that you and your friends were separated back here in time...

Something's fishy!


GingerBrave
What is it?

Croissant Cookie
It's impossible to mess with time without a time machine! And you don't have a time machine at all!
Does someone want you, and specifically you, to be declared guilty...?

GingerBrave
But why? And how?

I didn't even know what the TBD was to begin with...


GingerBrave
The more I think about this... ARGH!

Who is the Director and why are they doing this?


Croissant Cookie
I don't know either...

I've never met the Director.


GingerBrave
You work at the TBD but haven't met the Director?

Croissant Cookie
They say the Director is too busy jumping around time.

Too busy to come into the office.


GingerBrave
Sounds like one tough Cookie.

Maybe the Director met the culprit?
But really, why us?

AGH!

We still need to fix the timeline!
Let's think about this later.


Croissant Cookie
Are we heading to Ice Cream Mountain now?

GingerBrave
Yup!

It's Thundersnow Yeti Thundersnow Yeti's territory, so it's really, really cold!


Croissant Cookie
Buckled up? OK!

Time Travel! WOOT!

Yeti's Ice Cream Mountain (1)

GingerBrave
This is where I meet my friends again!

GingerBrave
A giant snowball was involved, but still!

Strawberry Cookie
Where are we...?

It's getter colder with each step and snow is starting to fall too...


Strawberry Cookie
We haven't seen any Cookies since escaping Pumpkin Land...

GingerBrave
Let's keep at it, Strawberry Cookie!

I'm sure we can reunite with our friends!


Strawberry Cookie
Are you sure they came this way...?

GingerBrave
Sure, I'm sure!

...
Look! Small footprints!


GingerBrave
They must belong to our friends!

Let's follow them!


Strawberry Cookie
Are you sure...?

These footprints look even smaller than ours...


Strawberry Cookie
Um... Hey, GingerBrave...?

I really think we shouldn't go this way...
And it's snowing real bad too.


GingerBrave
I think you're right.

Maybe this isn't the right way.
I'm sure they were Cookie footprints...


Strawberry Cookie
I can't see the footprints anymore...

Are... are we going to freeze here...?


GingerBrave
We should head back!

Let's take a different path from Pumpkin Land!


GingerBrave
Which way did we come from?

The snow's covered our own tracks...


Strawberry Cookie
Oh no, look out...!

Giant snowballs are rolling this way!

We need to get out of here...!

GingerBright
HEEELP!

GingerBrave
Wait... was that GingerBright?

Where are you!?


Zombie Cookie
#@!$*#@!$%

GRAGH!
GRAAAH!


Strawberry Cookie
And... Zombie Cookie!

GingerBrave
Are they in one of those giant snowballs!?

Strawberry Cookie
It's rolling too fast!

They're going to crash...!


GingerBright
Ow ow ow...

GingerBrave
Looks like we're part of the snowball too now.

Is everyone OK?


Skater Cookie
Now that was FAST!

It was so fast we couldn't stop!


GingerBright
Hmm?

Is it just me... or is this snowball moving again...?


Strawberry Cookie
I... I think GingerBright is right.

We're moving again...!?


Zombie Cookie
Moving...

Fast...!
No... like... snow...!


Skater Cookie
At this rate, we're gonna roll straight off the cliff!

GingerBright
Are we moving faster because the snowball got heavier?

GingerBrave
And right about now...

Wizard Cookie shows up to help us out!


Wizard Cookie
Did Thundersnow Yeti Thundersnow Yeti make that snowball?

And why's it rolling down?


GingerBrave
There's Wizard Cookie!

Hey... hey! Wait!
Where's he going!?

This is wrong!

It didn't happen like this!


Skater Cookie
The cliff is getting closer!

NOOO!


Croissant Cookie
We need to make Wizard Cookie help you, right?

Croissant Cookie
But how far back do we need to go?

When did that snowball start rolling down the top of the hill?


GingerBrave
Everyone, curl up and cover your head!

We... we might make it in one piece!


GingerBrave
That snowball's getting closer to the cliff!

We're doomed!


Croissant Cookie
What...!? Hey!

The Timecraft is setting coordinates on its own!

Not this again!

Is this because of Timekeeper Cookie!?


Timekeeper Cookie
How astute!

You needed a hand, correct?

It is quite simple, really!

No snow, no problem!


Croissant Cookie
Is... is that even possible!?

Timekeeper Cookie
It is not a big deal.

I have created a Timecraft before.
This is just as simple!


Croissant Cookie
Huh? You created a Timecraft?

So did I!


Croissant Cookie
My dream is to invent a Timecraft that anyone can handle and understand!

Timekeeper Cookie
Oh ho, I already knew that!

Timekeeper Cookie
But do you really think making that dream come true will bring you true happiness?

Croissant Cookie
What's... that supposed to mean?

Timekeeper Cookie
Let us continue this discussion after we solve your minor predicament here.

GingerBrave
Where'd all the snow go!?

Ice Cream Mountain is... it's just a normal mountain now!


Timekeeper Cookie
This should be enough for you to reunite with your friends.

Strawberry Cookie
What is this place...?

We haven't seen any Cookies since escaping Pumpkin Land...


GingerBrave
Let's keep at it, Strawberry Cookie!

I'm sure we can reunite with our friends!


Strawberry Cookie
Are you sure they came this way...?

GingerBright
HEY!

GingerBrave!


GingerBrave
It's GingerBright!

And look, Skater Cookie and Zombie Cookie are with her too!


GingerBrave
What did you do?

Timekeeper Cookie
I merely found a time where it wasn't snowing and connected the two.

Timekeeper Cookie
But to see this end so... monotonously.

How lackluster.


GingerBrave
Hey now, we worked hard to run all this way!

Don't dismiss it like that!


Timekeeper Cookie
Monotony is merely being recognized as monotony.

I despise monotony.


Croissant Cookie
Don't get too worked up, GingerBrave. At least Timekeeper Cookie helped fix the timeline.

Timekeeper Cookie
You can become just like me too.

Timekeeper Cookie
I see your future. I know it.

Are you not curious as to what I have seen and learned?


Croissant Cookie
Er... No, no thank you.

It's against TBD protocol.


Timekeeper Cookie
The rule about not looking into your own timeline?

But I am the one looking, not you.

Do not hesitate.

No need for such formalities and... "protocol."


GingerBrave
Wait! Hold up!

Our friends are saying something!


Zombie Cookie
Thunder... snow... Yeti...

Crying... Sad...
Sad... Yeti...


Skater Cookie
Thundersnow Yeti is crying!

Strawberry Cookie
Maybe because it's not snowing...?

GingerBrave
Thundersnow Yeti is so sad...

Isn't there another way?


Timekeeper Cookie
No one fell off the cliff.

Wasn't that the point?

You are not friends with Thundersnow Yeti.

Why do you care at all?


GingerBrave
But... This is wrong.

I don't want anyone to be sad because of us!


Timekeeper Cookie
I have done what is required.

The rest is up to you.


GingerBrave
Wait, Timekeeper Cookie!

*Tsk*
Gone again... What now?


Croissant Cookie
Hmm...

What if we sped up time to make it snow even more?


GingerBrave
Then the snowball will get bigger!

And then Wizard Cookie might finally notice and stop to help!


GingerBrave
Then we'd be able to help both our friends and Thundersnow Yeti at once!
Yeti's Ice Cream Mountain (2)
???
My magic will aid you!

Skater Cookie
Magic? Did someone say magic!?

Nuh-uh, I don't wanna end up like those Bear Jellies back in the cave...!


Strawberry Cookie
We're almost at the edge of the cliff...!
???
Prepare to be impressed!

GingerBright
Hey!

The snowball stopped!


GingerBrave
That was amazing!

Hey, what's your name?


Wizard Cookie
Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Wizard Cookie.


Wizard Cookie
But we've no time for this.

This is yeti territory, and we should get out of here, with haste!


Wizard Cookie
I was on my way to the City of Wizards when I crossed paths with you.

Strawberry Cookie
So those small footprints...

They belonged to you?


GingerBrave
We were looking for a place to call our own, a paradise for Cookies.

Where is the City of Wizards?


Wizard Cookie
It's a city, faraway and hidden.

No one lives there now, but it houses some powerful, ancient magic.


GingerBright
Hey! Do you think we can learn something at the City of Wizards?

Maybe about where we should go?


Wizard Cookie
Hmm... I've been there a number of times, but I've yet to learn anything about "paradise" there...

Zombie Cookie
Paradise...

No one knows...
No home...


Wizard Cookie
However, I do know that if you pass this gorge and cross the ocean there's a castle.

Wizard Cookie
Perhaps you'll find something there?

Skater Cookie
A castle? Is it a kingdom filled with Cookies!?

Yo, we should be heading there!


Wizard Cookie
I need to keep moving now.

I've stayed here for too long.


Wizard Cookie
But before I leave...

Let me cast a spell of good fortune on you.


GingerBright
Thanks, Wizard Cookie!

Wizard Cookie
Abra-Cookie-Cadabra...

*Whoosh*
Serendipiti-aprasiasitda!


GingerBrave
HAHA!

Now we're ready for anything!


GingerBrave
Our next stop should be a cinch.

We had a snowball fight with Snow Sugar Cookie Snow Sugar Cookie.


Croissant Cookie
Wait, before we go...

I want to think about what the Director is really up to.


Croissant Cookie
Maybe, if we ask...

Timekeeper Cookie Timekeeper Cookie can show us what the Director really saw?


GingerBrave
We might learn why we're being accused!

And see who's really responsible!


Croissant Cookie
Let's enter a Time Rift and find Timekeeper Cookie!
Reunited (1)

Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie!

Where are you?
We have a favor to ask!


Timekeeper Cookie
And ask you may!

Seeking me out, are we?


GingerBrave
ACK!

Don’t just appear out of thin air like that!


Timekeeper Cookie
You are quite jumpy and nervous for the first Cookie to escape the Oven.

GingerBrave
What!?

GingerBrave
Wait a minute…

We never told you about that…?


Croissant Cookie
Maybe Timekeeper Cookie learned about it while watching the timeline?

But now that you mention it…

Timekeeper Cookie!

How do you know about the TBD’s protocols!?


Timekeeper Cookie
Well now, that is the grand prize question, is it not?

Why do you think I know them?


Timekeeper Cookie
And shall we try another?

You wanted to ask me about the Director, did you not?


Croissant Cookie
Yeah… You can come and go to any point in time, just like that.

Just like the Director…


Croissant Cookie
You might be just as powerful!

You may be able to find and meet the Director!


Timekeeper Cookie
I know the Director quite well.

GingerBrave
Then tell the Director that we’re not responsible for any of this!

Timekeeper Cookie
I could, but it is pointless and futile.

It may be faster for Croissant Cookie to become the Director!


Croissant Cookie
Me? Wait… ME!?

I’ve never even thought of being the Director of the TBD!


Timekeeper Cookie
It could be a part of your future!

After all, the future is not written in stone!

Reunited (2)

Croissant Cookie
If I become as powerful as the Director, I can save your friends with just a snap…

Timekeeper Cookie
And, of course, I will tell you everything.

How I have gained this power.
Every exact detail.

All the monotony, the hardships.

The struggles of life will be no more, disappearing in a bat of an eye.


Timekeeper Cookie
In fact, you are struggling with such hardships now, are you not?

Croissant Cookie
You…

You know me really well, don’t you?


Timekeeper Cookie
There is no Cookie who understands you more than I.
Heed my advice and you can manipulate time to your will.

GingerBrave
That’s no different than messing up the timeline!

GingerBrave
We’re traveling through time to fix it, not mess with it!

Croissant Cookie
...

...
GingerBrave’s right.

Thank you, Timekeeper Cookie.

But that’s one offer I can’t accept.
I don’t want to control time.


GingerBrave
That’s the spirit!

Timekeeper Cookie
Listening to GingerBrave may bring a great amount of regret.

Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie…!?

Did you just create a rift without any Timeweaver Scissors?

That’s… that’s…!

I thought only the Director could do that!?


Croissant Cookie
Wait!


Are you the Director!?


Timekeeper Cookie
At last, the dots are connected!

Though, after all, I never reveal my identity to any Cookie…!


GingerBrave
Why did you arrest us!?

You know we’re not responsible!


Croissant Cookie
Weren’t you supposed to be helping us?

Timekeeper Cookie
Oh, but I am! GingerBrave and his friends must be declared guilty beyond any doubt.

Croissant Cookie
!?

Timekeeper Cookie
Believe me and the future I have in hold for you.

You must become like me!


Timekeeper Cookie
In time, you will become aware of my intentions.

For now, I take my leave!


GingerBrave
It was Timekeeper Cookie…

Why put us in this mess?

And what did that mean?

“You must become like me?”


Croissant Cookie
I… I don’t know…

It’s like… Timekeeper Cookie knows everything about me!

Why…

What is going on!?

Operation Timeguard Ch.3[]

Fantasy Aurora Beach (1)

Croissant Cookie
We need to hurry and fix the timeline. Who knows what Timekeeper Cookie Timekeeper Cookie is capable of…

GingerBrave
Next up is a snow fight with Snow Sugar Cookie Snow Sugar Cookie

I wonder what’ll happen there?


GingerBrave
Let’s keep an eye out!

Croissant Cookie, let’s go back to that point in time!


Croissant Cookie
Roger that!

Now’s not the time for stalling!


Croissant Cookie
That aurora up in the sky is so dazzling and beautiful…

GingerBrave
Goodbye, Ice Cream Mountain!

Hello, ocean! Finally!


GingerBright
Wizard Cookie Wizard Cookie’s spell sure helped!

None of the yetis bothered us on the way here.


Zombie Cookie
Ocean… Ocean…?

Straw…berry… Cookie…
Why grab… Gragh?


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie…

Please don’t run into the ocean this time, ok?


Skater Cookie
Keeping an eye on Zombie Cookie?

Yo, that’s good thinking there!


GingerBright
Er…

How are we going to cross the ocean?


GingerBrave
That’s funny… Snow Sugar Cookie is supposed to show up about now…?

GingerBrave
We just can’t cross this ocean!

Maybe we should head back.


GingerBright
Maybe we can ask Wizard Cookie for more directions?

Skater Cookie
Yeah! That’s a good idea!

I can catch up to him quickly with my board.


GingerBrave
Where is everyone going!?

If we don’t meet Snow Sugar Cookie…


Croissant Cookie
Won’t it be ok as long as you and your friends can get across the ocean?

Timekeeper Cookie
See?

Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Why worry over nothing?


GingerBrave
Timekeeper Cookie!

You did something here, didn’t you!?


GingerBrave
Why are you doing this to us!?

Why are we being framed?


Timekeeper Cookie
Oooh, I cannot tell you that now.

But believe me when I say nothing bad will happen to you.


GingerBrave
I don’t believe you!

Timekeeper Cookie
Oh, you worry too much.

Very well, I will tell you exactly what unfolds here.


Timekeeper Cookie
You meet Wizard Cookie and travel by land, not sea.

GingerBrave
But then we won’t be able to meet Snow Sugar Cookie!

Timekeeper Cookie
Is that such a predicament?

Traveling by land is safer and faster, no?


GingerBrave
The time spent with our friends will disappear!

Croissant Cookie
Gosh, you’re right…!

I didn’t think about that repercussion!


Timekeeper Cookie
Am I to assume that your arrival to paradise can be delayed then?

GingerBrave
The memories we made with other Cookies are more important than finding our paradise!

GingerBrave
After all! We’re seeking a paradise for all Cookies!

Every single one!


Croissant Cookie
Enough is enough!

We’re getting out of here.
GingerBrave, strap yourself in!

Fantasy Aurora Beach (2)

GingerBrave
GAH! Another blizzard?

Where’s this coming from?


GingerBright
The wind is too strong!

We’re going to be swept away!


Strawberry Cookie
Where can we go!?

We can’t jump into the ocean…!


Skater Cookie
Yo, check that out!

Something funky is coming this way.

And the blizzard is getting stronger as they’re getting closer!

GingerBrave
It’s not stopping!

But… is that…?
Look, there’s a Cookie too!

??? Hi…!

Do you want to have a snow fight?


GingerBrave
A snow fight!?

Can you do something about this storm first?


Snow Sugar Cookie
Oh… I’m Snow Sugar Cookie.

And these are my friends.


GingerBrave
Friends?

Snow Sugar Cookie
They are excited to meet you.

The snow is a sign they want to play.


Skater Cookie
Whoa, hold up…

Yo, they really look like they’re playing!


Skater Cookie
OOF! Hey!

Did they just throw a snowba-
HEY!


Snow Sugar Cookie
The Sea Snow Cones like you!

Skater Cookie
Oh ho, is that how it is!

You want a snow fight?
Let’s show them a snow fight!


GingerBright
Ow! Hey, watch your aim!

You’re going to regret that, hehe!
Take THAT!


Snow Sugar Cookie
This is so much fun!

Snow fights are the best.


Skater Cookie
*Sputter*

There’s so much snow in my hat!


GingerBrave
Great Snow King? Sea Snow Cones?

Haha! HAve you teamed up against us!?

Hey!

Who wants to be on my team?


Zombie Cookie
Snow… Snow…!

GRAAAGH! FUN!
Make… snowball…!


Zombie Cookie
Gragh? Too… much!

Slip? SLIP!?
GRAAAGH!


Strawberry Cookie
Looks like Zombie Cookie got buried in the snow…

Hey, are you ok?


Zombie Cookie
Cold… FUN!

Snow… cold… GRAGH!


GingerBright
Hold still, Zombie Cookie!

We’ll dig you out.
Then let’s play some more!


GingerBright
Oh, wait…

We don’t have time for this!


GingerBright
Snow Sugar Cookie!

Do you know a way across the ocean?


Snow Sugar Cookie
Where are you going?

Great Snow King and I can take you there.


GingerBright
Look up at the sky!

It’s a beautiful aurora!


Strawberry Cookie
Great Snow King?

Are we too heavy…?
Erm… Thanks for the ride.


Snow Sugar Cookie
Hehe, Great Snow King said it’s not a problem at all.

And that it was a fun snow fight too.


GingerBrave
Oh, over there!

I think it’s land!
I have a good feeling about this!


GingerBrave
PHEW!

Looks like the snow fight with Snow Sugar Cookie went well!


Timekeeper Cookie
Oh, what a bore.

Such a futile waste of time and effort…!


GingerBrave
Really? Really!?

We’re fixing this mess that you caused!


Timekeeper Cookie
A mess, you say?

Time will tell, I suppose.
And you will thank me later.

GingerBrave, you visit a castle next, correct?

GingerBrave
How did…

Did you mess up something already!?


Croissant Cookie
Just… how powerful is your ability to control time…?

Timekeeper Cookie
Such a curious mind!

Follow me if you wish to see for yourself.


Timekeeper Cookie
Let me reveal the full extent of MY POWER!
Shattered Kingdom (1)

GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie Wizard Cookie was right…

That is one huge castle!


GingerBright
Do you think we can learn something about our Cookie paradise here?

GingerBrave
Maybe!

This castle looks like it was built for Cookies!


Strawberry Cookie
It looks old and…

dangerous…


Skater Cookie
Let’s head on in!

GingerBrave
This doesn’t seem like…

a paradise…


Strawberry Cookie
I’m scared… Let’s go back…

These Armored Knights look like they’re moving…


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie…

Can you stay close…?
Let’s walk together.


Skater Cookie
Is there something inside these suits of armor?

GingerBright
Skater Cookie!

Don’t say such creepy things!


GingerBrave
What was that!?

Something just fell down!


Zombie Cookie
Scared… ghost…

Run… run… ghosts…!


GingerBrave
W-w-we better head back!

Let’s find a way out of here!


Skater Cookie
Can we take the path we took?

But… that noise is getting louder!


GingerBright
Over there!

The Armored Knights are moving!


GingerBrave
Make a run for it!

NOW!

??? STOP right there!

Don’t run away, YOU COWARD!


Strawberry Cookie
Yikes…!

The Armored Knights can talk!?


GingerBrave
There’s the door!

Just a bit further!

??? When did you become so WEAK, Dark Choco Cookie Dark Choco Cookie!?

GingerBright
Dark Choco Cookie?

W-w-who’s that!?


Zombie Cookie
Cookie… stranger…

Us… nice…!

??? What!?

WHO are you?


GingerBrave
I’m GingerBrave and this is our first time here!

We don’t know anything!

??? HMPH, I THOUGHT SO!

No way Dark Choco Cookie could be this WEAK!


GingerBrave
Weak?

Wow, that hurts…


Purple Yam Cookie
I’m Purple Yam Cookie!

And I’m here to FIGHT Dark Choco Cookie!


GingerBright
We’re looking for a place to call home. We thought this castle might have some answers.

Purple Yam Cookie
A home? BAH!

There’s NOTHING here for you!
This kingdom is in ruins.

If it weren’t for that pesky RUMOR that Dark Choco Cookie was here, I wouldn’t have come ALL THIS WAY!

Skater Cookie
So…

Who exactly is Dark Choco Cookie?


Purple Yam Cookie
The PHONY who took the Arena Champion title that is MINE BY RIGHT!

Strawberry Cookie
And er… you thought that Dark Choco Cookie was here, in these… ruins? Why?

Purple Yam Cookie
ARGH! I’m already ANGRY that I couldn’t find anything here!

DON’T make me angrier!


Purple Yam Cookie
HMPH! I’m going back to the guild.

There HAS TO BE someone strong enough THERE!


Skater Cookie
Whoa…

Yo, that dude’s like really fast.


GingerBrave
Well, that’s behind us now!

While we’re here, let’s take a look around.


Strawberry Cookie
So many portraits…

Did all of these Cookies live in this castle…?


Skater Cookie
Hey, a Cookie!

Who is that?

??? Dark Choco Cookie…

Where have you gone…?


GingerBrave
Hey! Is the Cookie in this portrait the one called Dark Choco Cookie?
??? Ah! I did not expect to find other Cookies in this castle!

Who might you be?


GingerBrave
We’re just a group of Cookies looking for our very own paradise!

What brings you here?


Milk Cookie
Allow me to introduce myself!

I am Milk Cookie.


Milk Cookie
I have come to rebuild this kingdom instead of Dark Choco Cookie!

GingerBrave
What!? That’s not what happened!

Milk Cookie is supposed to go on a quest to find Dark Choco Cookie!


GingerBrave
This is it! This is how the timeline got messed up here!

Timekeeper Cookie
”Messed up?” *Scoff*

Oh, dear me.
What haaave I done, boohoo.


Timekeeper Cookie
Is this not convenient?

You wanted a paradise, you can build a paradise.


GingerBrave
But Milk Cookie reveres Dark Choco Cookie!

Timekeeper Cookie
And? What does that pertain to one such as me?

You yourself saw these ruins, no?

I can snap you back to when this kingdom was bustling and glorious!

Timekeeper Cookie
Or you can recreate these ruins into a flourishing, lively kingdom!

Your paradise is right in front of your eyes.


GingerBrave
How!?

Timekeeper Cookie
Those who say there is only one world are lying… or, in the least, ignorant.

Many worlds lie waiting in time!


GingerBrave
Hmm…

Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave…

Timekeeper Cookie is right.
This way is much easier, isn’t it?

It’s not like you didn’t get to meet anyone this time. Plus, there’s no hardship this way…

GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie…

How… how could you say that?


Timekeeper Cookie
Brava, Croissant Cookie!

And thank you, GingerBrave.
You have proved useful after all.


Croissant Cookie
Huh?

What’s that supposed to mean?


Timekeeper Cookie
It is time to choose, GingerBrave!

Tick tock, tick tock!
All I need to do is-


GingerBrave
I refuse!

Timekeeper Cookie
Oh?

Croissant Cookie
!!!

Why, GingerBrave?


GingerBrave
Time traveling taught me just how difficult it was to take that first step to escape the Witch’s House…
Finding paradise… a home for us…

It would be easy with your help.


GingerBrave
But we’re going to do it ourselves!

With each other, by running together!
We’re looking for a place to call ours!


Timekeeper Cookie
Then tell me…

Do you think you will get to your “paradise” easily?


GingerBrave
It… it’s not going to be easy.

But we’re not going to give up, no matter how difficult it is!


Timekeeper Cookie
You will learn… Yes, you will learn, in time, just how foolish an endeavor this is.

Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie disappeared into thin air!?

GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie! We need to make sure Milk Cookie heads to the guild!

Croissant Cookie
Time for lift-off, once more!

Let’s go!
WOOT!

Shattered Kingdom (2)

Milk Cookie
I am here to gain courage from Dark Choco Cookie Dark Choco Cookie before I return to the guild.

Skater Cookie
Who exactly is Dark Choco Cookie?

Milk Cookie
Dark Choco Cookie is a hero to all, a noble and brave Cookie of the finest caliber.
Dark Choco Cookie also saved my life!

Strawberry Cookie
That’s totally different from what we heard before…

GingerBrave
And where is that Cookie now?

Milk Cookie
I do not know, but I have heard he is on a quest to save the world!

Skater Cookie
This castle is pretty busted up.

Is no one around?


Milk Cookie
This place…

It used to be a haven.


GingerBrave
Do you know what happened?

Milk Cookie
Tragedy struck the land and, eventually, everyone drifted away.

Strawberry Cookie
So that’s why no one is here…

Zombie Cookie
Milk Cookie… ok…

Cookies… come back…


Milk Cookie
Thank you for such kind words of encouragement.

Milk Cookie
I know what I must do: form a guild and begin a quest to find Dark Choco Cookie!

GingerBrave
We’re going to get out of here as well.

But… we don’t exactly know where.


Milk Cookie
Oh, I may have an idea.

There is a mystical forest just beyond the castle.

Perhaps there is something that may help you there?

GingerBright
Thank you, Milk Cookie!

We’ll head to that forest now!


Milk Cookie
I pray that you succeed in finding a place to call home!

GingerBrave
Thanks! And good luck in your search for Dark Choco Cookie!

Croissant Cookie
The more I thinker around with my thoughts, the more I think Timekeeper Cookie Timekeeper Cookie and I are similar.

GingerBrave
What are you saying!?

You know the dangers and risks of messing with time!


Croissant Cookie
To be completely honest…

If I had the power, I think I’d be exactly like Timekeeper Cookie.


Croissant Cookie
If I get bored with things again…

One day…


GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie…

Croissant Cookie
No, it’s nothing! Haha!

Ahem!
So where to next?


GingerBrave
Just behind the castle: the Syrup Lake and Twisted Maze Grove.
We met Prophet Cookie Prophet Cookie and Fig Cookie Fig Cookie there! Oh, and the… Doughnut Ball Fairies!

Croissant Cookie
Huh? The coordinates are already locked in? Is this another one of Timekeeper Cookie’s schemes?

GingerBrave
ACK!

We’re getting dragged in!

Twisted Maze Grove (1)

Timekeeper Cookie
What took you so long?

Get ready for a show…!
GingerBrave, you will love this!


GingerBright
That lake is so beautiful!

It looks so mysterious and sparkly!


GingerBrave
Huh? Who is that?

Someone’s walking near the lake.


Strawberry Cookie
They seem a bit too close to the lake…

Isn’t that dangerous?

??? Uh-oh…

UH-OH!


Skater Cookie
We gotta hurry!

I’ll ride ahead and help!


GingerBright
Looks like Skater Cookie was able to help in time!
??? Thank you for your assistance.

In return, I shall look into your future.


Prophet Cookie
I am… Prophet Cookie!

My Crystal Ball reveals all!


Zombie Cookie
Prophet… Cookie…

Ball… shiny… nice…


Prophet Cookie
Ahem!

Now, place your trust in me and I shall show you-


GingerBright
We’re looking for a place of our own, a paradise for Cookies!

Do you know where we could go?


Prophet Cookie
Fear not, my Crystal Ball has never failed to reveal the hidden strings of Fate!
The thing you desire the most…

is closer than you think.


GingerBright
Does that mean we’re getting closer?

Prophet Cookie
Oh, but there is more…

Fate has shown me that you will reach your destination.


Skater Cookie
Yo, that’s awesome!

Thanks, Prophet Cookie!
See you again someday, yeah?


GingerBright
This forest is huge…

And it’s getting thicker too.


Strawberry Cookie
Is… is everything going to be ok?

Zombie Cookie
Cute… fuzzy…

See… see…


Skater Cookie
Fuzzy animals?

GingerBright
Let’s follow the animals!

GingerBrave
Wait, this is…

We followed a Doughnut Ball Fairy, not the animals?

Where are they?

I don’t even see anything doughnut-shaped or…


GingerBrave
Did… did you get rid of the Doughnut Ball Fairies!?

Timekeeper Cookie
Is there no pleasing you?

You encounter both Prophet and Fig Cookie, without a hassle!


Croissant Cookie
The Doughnut Ball Fairies are a part of our world. You’re the Director of the TBD… How could you do such a thing?

Timekeeper Cookie
Why should that matter?

As for becoming Director, it seemed like a fun idea, is all.


Timekeeper Cookie
How about YOU become the Director and come join me on a fun journey?
The two of us, together!

We will never face monotony again.
We will be as one and the same!


Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie…

GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie is nothing like you!

Timekeeper Cookie
*Sigh*

Are you still making a fuss?

*Scoff*

You do not even have the power to fix your own timeline’s past.


GingerBrave
You’re… right.

I can’t save my friends by myself.

But I have Croissant Cookie’s help.

She offered to help us.
And together, we can succeed!


GingerBrave
We fixed the timeline… together!

We worked together, as a team.
You are nothing like US!


Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave…?

Croissant Cookie
I… I’m very scared of living a boring life again…

I constantly fear it.


Timekeeper Cookie
You see? Heed my advice and you will never have to trudge along without purpose!

Croissant Cookie
...

I may be afraid of that future, but my present is more important!


Croissant Cookie
I don’t care what you saw or see now in my future!

I… am going to help GingerBrave!


GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie!

Timekeeper Cookie
GingerBrave, such a dull Cookie you seemed! When I chose you, I did not see you as such a nuisance!

Timekeeper Cookie
The time has come.

No more coddling or persuading with words.


Timekeeper Cookie
Until we meet again, time travelers!

Croissant Cookie
Hurry and strap in! I’m going to take us back to when the Doughnut Ball Fairies were still here!
LIFT-OFF!
Twisted Maze Grove (2)

Doughnut Ball Fairy
Cookies!

Have you come to play in the forest?


GingerBrave
Oh! We’re not here to play, we’re lost!

Who are you…?


Doughnut Ball Fairy
Follow me!

I’ll lead the way!


GingerBrave
Reminds me of Fairy Cookie Fairy Cookie!

Maybe they’ve stayed in this forest for a long, long time!


Zombie Cookie
Graaagh…

Strawberry Cookie
Er…

Looks like Zombie Cookie doesn’t want us to follow.


Skater Cookie
It’s gonna be fine, Zombie Cookie!

They seemed friendly enough, right?


Strawberry Cookie
We’re… er…

heading really deep into the forest.


Zombie Cookie
Scary… Hungry…

Scared… Hungry…


GingerBrave
A light!

Is that the way out?


Skater Cookie
I knew this flying doughnut was a friend!

GingerBright
I thought that light was the way out.

It’s just reflections off of this syrup lake…


GingerBrave
Whoa… That’s a huge tree.

It must be like… a thousand years old.


GingerBright
Is this what Milk Cookie Milk Cookie was referring to? These trees look really mystical to me.

GingerBrave
But, it’s just a tree.

It’s not like we can ask a tree for directions…


Doughnut Ball Fairy
Come! Come!

This way!
Play!


GingerBrave
This path is getting rough!

Which way did we come from?

At this rate…

we might get trapped here…


Zombie Cookie
Cute… fuzzy…

See… see…


Skater Cookie
Fuzzy animals?

GingerBright
Not just animals…

There’s doughnut-shaped things over there too!


Strawberry Cookie
Those things are coming this way?

Something doesn’t feel right…


GingerBright
Are they going to attack us!?

Doughnut Ball Fairy
Let’s play!

Let’s have some fun!

Find your way out of the forest, or stay here forever and play with us!

GingerBrave
They’re not friendly!

RUN!


Skater Cookie
Which way do we go?

GingerBrave
ACK!

What’s that sound?
It sounds like… a horn?


Skater Cookie
Hey! All the animals are going that way…!

Zombie Cookie
Fuzzies… go…

Follow… me… too…


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie!

You’re not a fuzzy animal…!
Where are you going!?


Zombie Cookie
#@!&*!

GRAGH!


Skater Cookie
Yo, like seriously…

How does Zombie Cookie run so fast!?


GingerBright
At least the Doughnut Ball Fairies aren’t following us anymore.

Skater Cookie
What’s that shadowy thing over there?

Zombie Cookie
Legs… four…?
??? Oh? Happy to meetcha!

I haven’ met Cookies for so long!


GingerBrave
Are you a Cookie who lives here in this forest?

Fig Cookie
Tha’s right!

I’ve been livin’ innis for’st for so long!
I’m Fig Cookie.


GingerBrave
Can you help us?

We got lost after running away from the Doughnut Ball Fairies!


Fig Cookie
You met the Doughnut Ball Fairies?

Hihi! It’s ok now.
C’mon and follow me!


GingerBrave
Hey, Fig Cookie?

You wouldn’t happen to know anything about a Cookie paradise?


Fig Cookie
A paradise?

Sorry… I haven’ been outside the for’st many times…


GingerBright
We thought this mystical forest might be a place to call home…

But it’s not…


Strawberry Cookie
Er… What are all these cute animals doing here?

Fig Cookie
These are my for’st friends.

They’re here because it’s time for me to tell them a tale, hihi!


Fig Cookie
C’mere, this way!

This is the way outta the for’st.


GingerBright
That place looks dark and scary…

It’s not a trick, is it?


Zombie Cookie
Like… fuzzies…

Fig… Cookie… nice… like…


GingerBrave
Let’s trust Fig Cookie!

C’mon, off we go!


GingerBright
What’s that over there?

Light? It’s light!
Is that the way out?


Skater Cookie
The way out was closer than we thought…

GingerBrave
We’re finally out of the forest!

Thank you very much, Fig Cookie!


Fig Cookie
Hihi! You’re welcome!

If you can visit, I’ll tell ya a tale nex’ time!


GingerBrave
Those Doughnut Ball Fairies sure love to play creepy tricks…

But they’re not so bad!


GingerBrave
Let me see. What was next.

Ah! Carrot Cookie Carrot Cookie’s farm and a train ride to the city!


GingerBrave
And after that train ride…

We get arrested by the TBD.


Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave!

This time, you should stay hidden in a time rift.

After Timekeeper Cookie acts, we need to fix the mess quick!

Croissant Cookie
I can keep track of your position with my goggles.

For this one, I’m going alone…!


GingerBrave
Got it!

I’ll be extra careful not to get lost in time!


Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie…

Hmm, that thing about creating a Timecraft… it keeps bugging me.


GingerBrave
Hmm?

How come?


Croissant Cookie
When I first heard that, I was excited to meet another engineer!

And thinking about our similarities…

Time machines were invented at the TBD when it was founded a long time ago.

Croissant Cookie
But, as far as I know I am the only Cookie who has ever created a custom time machine like my Timecraft.

GingerBrave
Then that means Timekeeper Cookie is very, very old or… has something to do with you.

Croissant Cookie
Anyway, the next coordinates in time might tell us more!

Let’s go!

Happy Healthy Hamlet (1)

GingerBrave
WHOA!

Look at all these fields!


GingerBright
It may not be a paradise, but I’d say this is a good place to rest up!

GingerBrave
I agree!

We’ve been running for so long now!


Zombie Cookie
Field… farm…

Good… like…


Strawberry Cookie
Looks like Zombie Cookie likes all this farmland!

Skater Cookie
This is the first wide-open space we’ve been to since Jelly Bug Forest!

GingerBright
Is anyone else hungry?

Running away from the Doughnut Ball Fairies made me hungry…


GingerBrave
Are there any Jellies around…?

Skater Cookie
It wouldn't be right to just pick and eat these veggies either…

GingerBrave
Look over there!

Some carrots were thrown on the side of the field.

Were these carrots thrown away?

Skater Cookie
I guess we can eat these!

Strawberry Cookie
But… what if they weren’t thrown away?

What if a Cookie just forgot about them?


GingerBrave
I’m pretty sure it’s ok!

They’re thrown all over here and there.
Let’s eat!

??? What are you doing!?

GingerBrave
!!!
??? How dare you!

These are crops of MY labor and love!


GingerBright
Yikes!

Did these carrots belong to you?


Zombie Cookie
Gragh…?

Carrot… head…
Scary… face…


GingerBright
We’re sorry…!

W-w-we thought that they were thrown away!


GingerBrave
If we knew the carrots belonged to someone, we wouldn't have eaten them!
??? Wait… you didn’t know that this carrot field belonged to me? ME!?

GingerBrave
This is our first time here in this village…

We just escaped from the forest…

??? No wonder! I knew that I’d never seen you in town before!

Well, I’ll let this slide just once.


Carrot Cookie
I’m the genius farmer, Carrot Cookie!

And this… (Hey, get over here!)
This is Beet Cookie!


Beet Cookie
Escaped from that twisted forest?

That must’ve been tough.


GingerBright
We had help from another Cookie!

Have you been in that forest before, Beet Cookie?


Beet Cookie
I made camp there for a while.

Then I met Carrot Cookie and I’m staying here ever since.


Carrot Cookie
Beet Cookie also got caught stealing my vegetables, haha!

Everyone loves my crop!


GingerBrave
You’re very confident, aren’t you…

Carrot Cookie
You said these carrots were just thrown around here?

Hmm…


Carrot Cookie
Could it be carrot thieves again!?

Beet Cookie
Why are you looking at me!?

Carrot Cookie
Oh! I must’ve dropped them!

I was in a rush to catch the train and deliver these to Spinach Cookie Spinach Cookie.

You lot!

You ate my carrot without permission.
So I have a request for you!


GingerBrave
A request?

Carrot Cookie
Get on the train to the city and deliver these carrots to Spinach Cookie.

GingerBright
What?

But… we’re on our way to find a place of our own..


Carrot Cookie
Deliver these carrots and I’ll give you some vegetables to take on your journey!

Zombie Cookie
Do… DO…!

Carrots… to… Spinach… Cookie!
Train…! GRAAAGH!


Strawberry Cookie
Zombie Cookie must’ve been really hungry…

GingerBrave
We’ll do it!

Leave it to us!


GingerBrave
So this is what they call a city!

That took forever!


GingerBright
Where is Spinach Cookie?

Carrot Cookie said she would be waiting for us here…


Skater Cookie
This basket of veggies is so heavy…

Where’s Spinach Cookie?

??? Hello!

Are you the group that Carrot Cookie sent?


GingerBright
Hi!

Are you Spinach Cookie?


Spinach Cookie
Yes, that’s me!

Thank you for delivering these vegetables all this way!


Spinach Cookie
They must’ve been so heavy for you!

Here, let me take them.


Zombie Cookie
$@!!%@!!#...!!!

Cookie… STRONG…!?

??? I knew it!

Spinach Cookie’s vegetables are the freshest on the market!


Strawberry Cookie
So much excitement…

You must really like vegetables?


Sandwich Cookie
Sandwich Cookie, at your service!

I work at a sandwich shop!


Sandwich Cookie
Sandwiches made with Spinach Cookie’s vegetables are the absolute greatest!

So fresh, so crisp, so tasty!


GingerBright
That sounds really nice!

Carrot Cookie gave us some veggies, but… we’re still hungry.


Sandwich Cookie
I knew these would come in handy!

Here! I made some extra sandwiches.
You can eat them on the train.


Skater Cookie
Really!?

AWESOME!
Thanks a million, Sandwich Cookie!


GingerBrave
We’re going to have say(sic) goodbye now! The train is about to leave soon.

Sandwich Cookie
Where are you going?

GingerBrave
We got a ticket to the next closest village!

GingerBright
We’re looking for our own paradise!

A prophecy said that it will be closer than we think!


Spinach Cookie
That sounds like an amazing journey!

Wish you luck!


Sandwich Cookie
Bye! And don’t forget to visit the sandwich shop!

Spinach Cookie
Oh! Strawberry Cookie!

Next time you’re here, I’ll treat you to many types of veggies!


Skater Cookie
I think Spinach Cookie really likes Strawberry Cookie!

Spinach Cookie
I love vegetables!

I adore Cookies with vegetables in their dough too!


Strawberry Cookie
Spinach Cookie…

GingerBright
Thanks to Carrot and Sandwich Cookie,

I’m… so… stuffed!


GingerBrave
The breeze from the window is so calming…

I’m getting… sleepy…


Croissant Cookie
Something’s not right…

Why is nothing happening?


GingerBrave
Huh?

I guess I dozed off…


GingerBright
Everyone was dozing off!

After all, we did run a lot…


GingerBrave
Oh…?

We’re at the train station already?


GingerBright
Did we wake up too late?

The train is already moving!


GingerBright
I guess we can just get off at the next station!

Croissant Cookie
This is what changed!

GingerBrave didn’t get off at this train station!


Croissant Cookie
*Blip blip*

What’s this!? A rift is collapsing?
GingerBrave’s in danger!


GingerBrave
Let go!

Let… me… go…!
Where are you taking me!?


Timekeeper Cookie
Hushy hush now.

We are going to test if Croissant Cookie can follow us!


GingerBrave
Just you wait!

Croissant Cookie will definitely be able to find us here!


Timekeeper Cookie
I propose a deal!

After all, you have already served your purpose.

I solemnly swear to stop meddling with your timeline from now on.

But you… must leave. This instant.


GingerBrave
And what about my friends!?

Timekeeper Cookie
Do as I say and I will switch you and your friends with that group on the train!

Timekeeper Cookie
But…

Do not interfere with us.
Ever again.


GingerBrave
And what happens to the Cookies we switched places with?

Timekeeper Cookie
They will become trapped in a time rift in your stead.

GingerBrave
What!? That’s not fair!

How does that make any sense?
In the end, someone gets hurt!


Timekeeper Cookie
Keep throwing a fit, nuisance, and I will send you back to the Oven and weld the door shut!

Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie!

Let GingerBrave go, now!


Timekeeper Cookie
Perfect timing as always, Croissant Cookie.

We were waiting for you!


Timekeeper Cookie
You have passed my test!

Though you could still improve on listening to directions…


Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave!

I’m going to force time to slow down that train!


Timekeeper Cookie
Oooh, this will be amusing.

Go ahead and try!


Croissant Cookie
The… button… won’t… budge!

What’s happening?


Timekeeper Cookie
Oops, I may have tinkered with it.

After all, you are not the only one who created a custom Timecraft.


Timekeeper Cookie
I was also the first to tinker and customize a derelict Timecraft!

Just. Like. YOU!


Croissant Cookie
No, it can’t be…

Timekeeper Cookie
Correct!

We have a winner!
I… AM YOU!


Timekeeper Cookie
BWAHAHA! Enough with the drama.

Specifically, you and I are the only Croissant Cookies to join the TBD!


GingerBrave
Huh!?

Timekeeper Cookie
Oh, Croissant Cookie, Croissant Cookie…

Let me tell you of my past.
My past, hence, your future.


Timekeeper Cookie
The TBD was such an exciting venture.

I too wished to help all Cookies, just like you hope to now.


Croissant Cookie
But… what happened?

Timekeeper Cookie
Mere fleeting moments.

As I grew stronger and skilled, the more monotonous life became.


Timekeeper Cookie
I peered into time to find if my alter egos were having fun…

I kept at it until I found you!


Timekeeper Cookie
And you kept tinkering as an engineer!

You are destined to become bored with that. But you already know this…


Croissant Cookie
Well… Yes, but–

Timekeeper Cookie
With my help, you can become powerful beyond all measure and rise up as the Director of the TBD!

Timekeeper Cookie
And then!

As Directors of the TBD, we can have so… MUCH… FUN!


Croissant Cookie
Then why bring GingerBrave into this…?

Timekeeper Cookie
To provide fuel to the fires of self-doubt. They were mechanisms to help you realize your weakness.

GingerBrave
OW!

Hey, let me go!


Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave!

Timekeeper Cookie
Aw… You want to save GingerBrave?

Then seek me out.


Croissant Cookie
ARGH!

If I didn’t hesitate, I could have saved GingerBrave!

If I follow Timekeeper Cookie…

Will everything be ok?

Happy Healthy Hamlet (2)

Croissant Cookie
...

What do I do?


Croissant Cookie
...


There isn’t time to dawdle!

GingerBrave is right!

I’m not like Timekeeper Cookie!


Croissant Cookie
There must be a way.

Hmm… If Timekeeper Cookie is really my alter ego…


Croissant Cookie
...


Ah! I’ve got an idea!


Croissant Cookie
First things first!

I need to turn back time and force this train to stop!


Strawberry Cookie
Looks like we’re the only ones left on the train…

I’m a bit scared…


GingerBrave
Oh? The train’s stopped!

It’s time to get off!


GingerBright
I wonder what’s next?

I’m so excited! Each step takes us closer to our very own home!


GingerBrave
Hey!

Wait for me!


Croissant Cookie
PHEW!

That took some serious tinkering and maximum effort!


Croissant Cookie
Now where, or when, could Timekeeper Cookie have taken GingerBrave…

Croissant Cookie
Oh! GingerBrave’s goggles!

I can lock onto his coordinates!


Croissant Cookie
Huh? He’s at the TBD?

This is… the Director’s office!


Croissant Cookie
Hang on, GingerBrave.

I’m coming!

The Decision (1)

Croissant Cookie
I managed to sneak past all the TBD guards! I wonder where everyone is being held…

Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie!

Show yourself!
Where’s GingerBrave?


Timekeeper Cookie
Four seconds late?

I suppose that’s passable.
Here, you deserve a gift!


GingerBrave
Croissant Cookie!

You made it!


Strawberry Cookie
We were stuck in a dark place for so long…

It was.. really scary…


Croissant Cookie
GingerBrave!

And your friends!
Everyone’s safe…!


Timekeeper Cookie
Let us make a bargain.

Defeat me and they go free.
Lose and you must listen to ME!


Croissant Cookie
I accept your bargain!

Timekeeper Cookie
Oooh, such confidence!

How riveting! Do you have something up your sleeve?


Croissant Cookie
I’ll admit it… you’re incredibly powerful.

But if you and I are the same…!


Timekeeper Cookie
My anticipation is growing!

What are you going to do by opening a time rift?


Croissant Cookie
I’m going to change the timeline so that you will never become the Director of the TBD!

Timekeeper Cookie
!?

Croissant Cookie
If I succeed… then everything that has happened will never happen in the first place!

Timekeeper Cookie
What a diabolically amusing plan!

I would like to see this attempt of yours firsthand.


GingerBrave
The two of them just disappeared into the time rift…

Strawberry Cookie
Croissant Cookie…

I hope you’re ok…

The Decision (2)

Skater Cookie
Croissant Cookie!?

You’re back!
You made it back!


GingerBright
But… who’s that behind y–

Timekeeper Cookie!?


Timekeeper Cookie
Such folly! She traveled back to when I first joined the TBD, MWAHAHA!

And she just gave up, then and there!


Croissant Cookie
... You looked so happy.

I… I couldn’t do it…

Because I remember…

No… I know how happy that moment in time was.


Timekeeper Cookie
Remember, we made a bargain: you have not defeated me yet!

Have you another scheme, hmm?


Croissant Cookie
I don’t, but…

I haven’t lost yet!


Croissant Cookie
... How about this?

I’ll take your advice and become stronger.


GingerBrave
NO!

Croissant Cookie, wait!


Timekeeper Cookie
Admitting defeat, are we?

I knew you would see things my way.
Say goodbye to monotony!


Croissant Cookie
But I am not going to be like you!

Instead of becoming Director, I’m going to continue being a great mechanic!


Timekeeper Cookie
Such futile thinking…

Do you really think that will be possible?


Croissant Cookie
I know it will. You said it yourself!

Out of all our alter egos…
I was the only one to join the TBD!

Because that was MY choice!

Croissant Cookie
Right now, my choice is to follow you.

This decision alone has changed my future, and you know it!


Timekeeper Cookie
Hmm…

Well, you are not entirely wrong.


Croissant Cookie
So, Timekeeper Cookie…

I am going to become the greatest mechanic ever.

And you need to change my mind!

From this point on… no one will know what happens next!


Croissant Cookie
If our future became too boring…

Then we should work together to stave off that boredom!


Timekeeper Cookie
Out of all the possible futures…

Well now, this is certainly new.


Timekeeper Cookie
How amusing.

*Shrug*
I accept your terms.


Croissant Cookie
I have one more request.

It’s…


Timekeeper Cookie
Ahem. Ahem.

Is this thing on? Hello? Ah!
This is the Director speaking.

To all members of the TBD.

I, the Director, hereby proclaim that GingerBrave is innocent.


Timekeeper Cookie
The timeline has been fixed as well.

All TBD agents are barred from pursuing GingerBrave and his friends ever again.


Timekeeper Cookie
There you go, Croissant Cookie.

I have done as you asked.
Oh, and the train will be here on time!


GingerBrave
We gotta hurry!

Croissant Cookie
Timekeeper Cookie.

Let’s make something great together, deal?


Timekeeper Cookie
It has been a while since I have ever looked forward to something without taking a peek.

Skater Cookie
Thanks for the lift, Croissant Cookie!

Strawberry Cookie
How did you think of that plan?

Are… are you a genius…?


Zombie Cookie
Thank… you…

Cookie… nice…
Gragh… nice…


Croissant Cookie
It’s all thanks to GingerBrave!

GingerBrave
Huh?

Me?


Croissant Cookie
Thanks to you, I realized that the future is always in motion

It’s not set in stone!


Croissant Cookie
Until you escaped the Oven, did any Cookie truly know that escaping was possible?

GingerBrave
Well, I mean…

Hehe, if you put it that way!


GingerBright
The train’s coming!

It’s time for us to say goodbye.


Croissant Cookie
Wait, GingerBrave!

I have something to tell you.


Croissant Cookie
Whatever happens in the future, I promise to do what’s right!

GingerBrave
And I promise to keep running!

See you again, one day in the future!
