                              Pure Vanilla

Something wasn't right.
What happened? Pure Vanilla Cookie thought.
He wasn't supposed to be here.
Let's see..., he tried to remember,
The battle. What was it over again?

"Uh, do you think he's alright?"

"I'm sure he'll be fine, my dear Qiqi,"

Oh right. The fall of the Vanilla Kingdom...
My kingdom.

"So, uh, excuse me sir?"

"I think he's still out"

"Yeah, I agree with the creepy guy"

There was us against Dark Enchantress Cookie, upon the ruins of my kingdom of peace...yeah, that seems about right. And what was she after...?

"Dr. Baizhu? Do you know what the creepy guy's name is? I want to know,"

"My name is Dainsleif, if you really must know,"

The Soul jams. That's what she was after. But....they shouldn't have had that much...power.
...
Where am I?
And where is my staff?

Pure Vanilla opened his eyes, but all he saw was the usual blurry surroundings. He fumbled for his staff, and all of the sudden, everything was clear.
The one named Qiqi was a small child with lavender hair and tired, purple eyes.
Behind her was a man with long green hair tied up in a half bun and a pair of glasses on his face, which Vanilla assumed was Dr. Baizhu.
The last man, Dainsleif, had blond hair and deep blue eyes, dressed in some sort of dark blue armor.
The landscape was the strangest part. They seemed to be on a floating island, one in an infinite sea of them, and the sky was a swirl of purples and blues, with millions of  stars and galaxies lighting the sky.

"Oh, sir, are you alright?" Qiqi said in a tired voice.

"Erm, yeah, I think so..." Vanilla replied.

"Well, Dr. Baizhu is a doctor..."

"Mostly" Baizhu chimed in.

"...so he should be able to help" Qiqi continued.

"Well, I'm mostly fine, my only concern is that I don't know what is going on!"

"It's good that you're alright, but unfortunate that I don't have an answer for what is going on," Baizhu said, "By the way, I don't think we ever caught you name...?"

"Hmm, yes, it might be good for us to know your name," Dainsleif, who had been silent in the background for the entire time, finally said.

"Oh, I am so sorry I didn't tell you sooner, my name is Pure Vanilla Cookie"

Everyone around him stared confusingly for what seemed like forever.

"Umm," Baizhu finally said, "I don't think that you are a cookie,"

"What do you mean..?" Vanilla said nervously.

"I think he means that you are delusional," Dainsleif straightforwardly said while Baizhu glared at him.

As soon as he was going to respond, Vanilla was hit splitting headache. Looking around to the other people, he could see that they had it too.

"Uhh, Dr. Baizhu? What is that?" Qiqi, the only one who seemed not to be in pain, said while pointing into the distance. Both Dainsleif and Baizhu looked to where Qiqi pointed, and seemed to see whatever it was.

"What the..." Dainsleif said as he looked off into the distance at something Vanilla couldn't see.

But Vanilla could see something. They seemed to be very tiny little lights of different colors. And there were seven of them, if he counted correctly.

Dainsleif, still looking into the distance, squinted, then his eyes went wide.

"Oh my- GET DOWN, NOW!"

They all tried to get down, but it was too late. A massive wave of what of energy came and launched them hundreds of feet into the air.

Vanilla landed, and everything went black.
