"No! You can't die yet!"

"I think... this is the end for me, dude."

"How did this happen?!"

"That guy with the bow there shot my arm... it would have been fine, but the tip was poisoned."

"These wretches! I'll end them!"

"Dude. I don't think we should have ever gone to the dark side. Maybe... we shouldn't have trusted your sister."

"But... she would never do anything wrong."

"Listen up. You can't trust anyone. Not even yourself. You might end up dying- Crap! That firey guy sees us! I can't get up anymore. Go on without me."

"I can't do that!"

"Leave! You have to live without me! And please, please don't continue with Darkness!"

"Are you sure this is a good idea, sister?"

"Of course, brother. How could I ever be wrong?"

"I don't know... the Legendary Cookies are very powerful. And I don't think this is the right path for me."

"Trust me. Once we take over this place with Darkness, you can do anything you want."

"You know I'm only doing this to avenge my friend, right? I don't need anything."

"You'll change your mind soon..."

***

Three Cookies stood before a giant black wormhole.

"What might you think this thing is?" Wind Archer narrowed his eyes at the portal.

"Maybe a way to hell?" Fire Spirit smirked. Moonlight smacked him on the head with her staff.

"Whatever this is, I do not think this is good," Moonlight remarked. "We should seek help"

"Moon, we ARE the help!" Fire Spirit groaned, rubbing his head. "Besides, who else can we call? Dark and Sea are missing and that tree spirit guy Windy keeps talking about is doing his nature stuff!"

"Maybe Sea Fairy is beyond this portal," Wind Archer suggested, stepping closer. "I can sense a powerful being beyond here."

"Or, y'know, Dark..." Fire Spirit muttered.

Before any of them could act, they sensed a huge presence inside of the portal. In just a few seconds, a foot stepped out the portal and entered the area. It was a woman dressed in red- Pomegranate. Beside her was an unknown boy with the same red eyes and sharp glare, but he had black hair instead of red. He carried a sword and had a layer of black armor.

The Legendaries all drew out their weapons and the boy flinched a little.

"Stand tall, brother," the woman advised the boy. "We have the advantage in this battle."

Behind them, pinkish figures stepped through the portal, soon forming an army of zombie-like creatures.

"What are these... things?"  Wind Archer asked, not moving his stance.

"Jelly Walkers," Pomegranate responded with a calm smile. "These only follow the command of their leader. And there is a lot more where that came from."

"You will die by the hands of Darkness!" the boy exclaimed angrily as he raised his sword. "It will teach you a lesson for killing innocent Cookies!"

"We did no such thing!" Moonlight retorted. "We have never killed anyone!"

Wind Archer and Fire Spirit turned to each other. Moonlight was wrong, since her memory was pretty bad. During an attack on the army of Darkness, they had ended up killing a lot of Cookies- though they were shameful and guilty about it. However, they were too prideful to admit their faults.

"This will be the last time you insult the honor of the Legendaries!" Wind Archer announced, notching an arrow onto his bow. "You will leave us alone!"

Pomegranate said nothing and instead held up her staff. Half of the Walkers rose up. The boy also rose his sword, and the other half got into position.

"Attack!" he roared, as the Jelly Walkers raced onward to the Legendaries.

"Psshh, y'all are stupid!" Fire Spirit mocked, floating towards the skies. "You should have taken into consideration that we could fly!"

"Oh, we did take care of that," Pomegranate smiled knowingly.

Right as the Walkers saw the Legendaries began to fly, all of them sprouted wings and followed along.

"Aw, come on!" Fire Spirit whined. "A thousand on three- that's not fair!"

"Nothing in this world is fair," the boy said as he rose up with a pair of mechanical wings. "and it wasn't fair when you killed all those innocents, either."

"Ouch," Fire Spirit cringed as he formed a ball of flames in his hand. "I don't wanna harm you, kid, but I'll have to if you don't stop."

"You should stop talking and pay attention to the fight," he suggested, positioning the sword.

Fire Spirit turned, just as a Jelly Walker jumped on top of him. He easily blasted it away with fire but more kept coming.

"These things are tough!" he panted as he fended off the attackers. "They just don't seem to die!"

"Even my poisoned arrows are not working," Wind Archer knocked another arrow into a Jelly Walker's head and smacked another with his bow. "These things seem... immune to pain."

"Then we must knock down Pomegranate and the other one!" Moonlight quickly suggested as she shot out a burst of stars. "Pomegranate said that they only follow the leader!"

"Good idea," Wind Archer acknowledged as he shot an arrow towards the armored boy.

Before the arrow could strike him, a red force field appeared around him and the tip bounced off harmlessly. He immediately spun around, alert.

"You seem to have forgotten I am a sorceress," Pomegranate floated down behind them.

Moonlight cursed in French, Wind Archer cursed silently, and Fire Spirit cursed loudly.

"Well, fuck."

When the two turned to him with "that look," he just spread his arms out and said, "What?! The author did put language warnings in the description!"

After a quick moment of repairing the fourth wall, Pomegranate immediately got her Walkers to attack the three Legendaries.

A long moment of fighting winged monsters. Cue the epic battle music. Zoom in on the Legendaries' determined fighting faces. If you're saying the writer just got lazy here, you're right.

Suddenly, Moonlight got an idea.

"We should take try taking out either Pomegranate or the other!" she communicated into the gem on her staff. "If we eliminate one of them, their army had no one to follow!"

"Wow," Fire Spirit murmured as he struck three Jelly Walkers down. "Finally an idea that isn't just sleeping."

"Good plan," Wind Archer agreed. "We should cause a distraction. Then you can take him out."

Fire Spirit tensed up.

"By 'taking him out,' you don't mean killing him, right?" he laughed nervously. "This guy's just a kid. He doesn't deserve that."

"Who are you to speak?" Moonlight angrily shot back. "You are not innocent of harming children either. With every town you destroyed in the past, many young ones lost their family or their lives."

Glumly, Fire Spirit decided not to speak and continue defending himself.

"He might be a child, but he is also a menace to our Cookie Kingdom," Wind Archer noted. "We cannot spare that."

And with that, the three got into position. Wind Archer drove him around by shooting his arrows, and Fire Spirit blocked off the boy's path with fire. He had no choice but to end up where Moonlight wanted him.

Moonlight raised her hand up, and drew in the power of the sky. Then, she rained down a shower of sharp stars, speeding straight towards the boy. Pomegranate tried to shield him, but she was too far away for her magic to work. He successfully dodged and deflected most of them, but one hit his eye and he was sent plummeting down to the ground. Immediately, half of the Jelly Walkers froze in midair and stopped fighting.

"Help me!" the boy cried from the floor, pink jelly dripping from the right side of his face.

Pomegranate glanced at him, the Legendaries closing in on her, then at the portal which had conveniently opened up behind her.

She took one final look at him and said, "I am sorry, brother."

Then, she jumped through the portal right as it closed.

With Pomegranate's escape, the Legendaries turned their attention to the fallen boy. Fire Spirit, the first to rush down, grabbed the boy's arms and pinned it behind is back.

"Where is Dark Enchantress and Sea Fairy?!" he demanded.

The boy stayed silent, and Fire Spirit's hair flashed with fire.

"Answer me!"

"Don't think for a moment that you can trust Dark Enchantress," the boy said as he turned to Fire Spirit, eye still burning with anger and hatred. "If you trust anyone, you will die."

Fire Spirit, widened his eyes, a little shocked at the comment. Then, he regained his composure and gripped the kid's arms tighter. Moonlight and Wind Archer landed before them.

"Where is Sea Fairy?!" Moonlight also demanded, pointing the sharp point of her staff at his chest. "Are you hiding her?"

"I don't know anything about that," the boy hissed. "That's none of my business."

Moonlight withdrew her staff and stood up straight. She checked her surroundings and noticed a green portal in the woods beside her. A few Cookies had gone through and found out that it was the human world. She then turned back to the others.

"Send him to the human world."

Wind Archer blinked twice. Fire Spirit stared at her.

"You can't be serious."

Narrowing her eyes, Moonlight responded, "But I am."

"What if he causes chaos there as well?" Wind Archer asked. "It would be better to keep him detained."

"I know what I am doing. I will cast a curse on him to make sure he cannot use any powers, call on Pomegranate, or ever exit that world."

She didn't know what she was doing.

"Moon, we know you're the big boss lady, but you sure this is a good idea?" Fire Spirit frowned.

"Of course. Now take him there."

And that's exactly what they did.
