( ahhhhhh!🧟♀️🧟♀️ sticks hand out the grave and pulls zombie butt up just to open whattpad )
" do you you know where any of the other cookie are Twizzly?" Espresso called out to her. The mage and the Knight we're trying to keep up with the steampunk gunslinger who was dashing through the streets.
" I SAW MALA GOING DOWN CHERRYTOP LAND EAILER ON" She called back, keeping her fast pace " I'LL TAKE YOU THERE NOW " she adds suddenly skidding on her feet as they came to a intersection, she slid looking around before dashing in another direction. " Twizzly you need to slow down!" Espresso tried to reason, they were't ready for such a sudden change in direction and we're even farther behind the futuristic cookie.
" JUST FOLLOW ME!" Twizzly commanded, espresso's breath was heavy. They had been running for far to long, " you alright love?" Madeline asks pulling on espresso's arm to bring both of them into a soft jog. It was enough to keep an eye on Twizzly for now, " I'm fine..." espresso gasped. He hated to aimt he was getting tired, " you don't have to push yourself" Madeline reassured as espresso continued to breath. At this slower pace it was a lot easier on the mage to steady his breathing;
" wait.. did you call me love?" He asks his mind suddenly clocking the pet name. Madeline blushes slighty, slowing down even further " I ehhhh" he stammered " guess it just slipped out" he said with a shurg and tried just to smile it off. Espresso couldn't help but smile himself even in the mist of the possible end of the kingdom Madeline could set the butterflies in his stomach aflutter, it made him feel safe and warm " it's alright" He blushed slightly facing away from the Knight as he felt the rise of emotions hit his face.
" COME ON YOU TWO! THIS WAY!" Twizzly's voice rang out ahead, and the two quickly reacted catching up to her. As she had stop by the start of cherrytop Lane waiting for the two lovebirds as she taped her foot. " COME ON!" she said impatiently as the two arrived, " WE SHOULD SLIT UP AO WE CAN DIND MALA FASTER" twizzly suggested but the other two were't to sure " we would be safer together " espresso states and Madeline had to agree even though he admired Twizzly's courge it was just to dangerous to go alone.
" I'm afraid he's right " Madeline nods but Twizzly gives a small frown, she was ready for another throw down, she was never one to be afraid. " ALRIGHT KEEP UP " She smirks and starts off again down the street;
....
The three travel down cherrytop Lane, most is bured with some embers being left in the sky " mala must of come this way" espresso ponders aloud looking down at street not from cake monsters but lava.
Following along the trail the carnage only worsens as the go deeper into the backallys of cherrytop land. " SMOKE!" Twizzly suddenly cries out pointing in a direction, espresso snaps his direction and it was true a big black cloud was starting to form but a few houes away, " it must be mala!" Madeline panics, worried about his warrior friend. " then we don't have a second to lose " espresso says quirky acknowledging the situation.
Moving quickly the three take the side streets to the house, smoke was starting to agreed now fillings the air. This was to strange espresso thought trying to see through the smog, mala was powerful but he had never seen this level of smoke from her power before. " MALA!!!" Twizzly shouts hoping she might nearby.
The three start to cough from the uprise of Ash when a dark chuckle shoots through the dark cloud " ahhh when you least expect it" the voice is rather high and annoying like someone with a cold but as the heroes step forward they see a cookie leaning on a scythe with one foot standing on the head of " Mala!!!" Both Madeline and twizzy cry out when they see the warrior down being poked at by 6 little licorice minions " oh what do we have here?" Licorice asks sarcastically seeing the three " more hero's? " He giggles a little " don't you know it's unwise to get in my way?!" He sniggers pointing his scythe at them,
" I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THREE SECONDS TO LET MALA GO!" Twizzly snaps at him swating away the scythe, " ohhhh! So it is another fight you want?" Licorice pushes mala from his foot as the little licoricishs pick her up, she groans being moved but she's obviously out of it. " let her go!" Madeleine declares, pulling the sword from his holster " oh... I'll let her go" Licorice says mischievously, " once deal with you three!" He lashes out at Madeleine suddenly, but espresso moves just as quick.
" escape this!" He calles out, as a wave of magic surges out and hit licorice right in his gut, he cries out in pain as he gets flung back atleast five feet his scythe bearly grazing the top of Madeline's long blonde hair as he flys back. Hitting the ground hard on his back, while espresso glaces over this shoulder to check Madeline is alright " are you okay?" He asks, his hands still radiate with magic and his Cape blows in the breeze a bit as he gazes into Madeline's eyes. " uh huh" Madeline manages a nod his cheeks beginning to flush, not even realising that licorice was starting to stand back up with wobbly knees.
Giving a couch, " I see you cookies have gotten stronger much like you're friend" he moations to mala who is still being held down by little licorice just in case she wakes up again, " doesn't matter, I took down her and I'll take down you!" Licorice lunges again with more aggression in his swing," HOLD BACK BOYS I GOT THIS ONE!" Twizzly says holding out her arm to the pair she takes her gun from her hip and fires wildly at licorice but he seem to just about dodge every bullet that comes his way.
Rising his scythe he heads straight for Madeline and espresso " look out!" Madeline trys to step in front this time but espresso retakes his magic stance " no! You look out!" He defends still trying to keep the Knight behind him to protect the blonde " BOTH OF YOU LOOK OUT!" Twizzly yells turning her gun towards licorice as he swings his scythe from his hip both espresso and Madeleine jump out the way just in time, Madeleine swings his sword with one hand as he pushes espresso back with the other.
Making sure they are both safe as his sword slices licorice scythe in half as Licorice skids to his knees so he doesn't get a sword to the face. He slides past almost in slow motion as the head of his scythe drops to the ground, he manages to turn his body towards them once more as he kicks up the dust around him " why you!" He angrily snaps standing back up " minions!" He bellows to the mini licoricishs and they loom up from the still unconscious mala " get them!" He orders now pointing his broken staff that was jaggerd at the end.
