*The Twins return to Emeraldroot’s location to show the literal fruits of their labour.

Clara: We’re back! And we found all your colored fruits! (She presents the three fruits)

Emeraldroot: You found all three types of Emerald Fruits! I Am Amazed!

Clare: This means we can go in. Right?

Emeraldroot: Very well. You pass. Very well. Go.

Clara: Yay! Now we’ll get to the Golden drop reserve before those two… other guys! (Copple and Newbie show up)

Newbie: Yes! Ohhhh, YES! The path is open!

Clare: What the…? Where the hell did you two show up from?

Copple: We were stuck and couldn’t get past here, see? Hiding here and waiting for a couple of Schmoes was brilliant!!!

Clare: You… YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF US!!! You’ll pay for using me and my sister’s capabilities like that!!! (Copple dodges her attack)

Copple: All right, Newbie! Let’s not waste any more time! We’re GOLDEN, SEE? (They both dash past Emeraldroot)

Clare: Great… now they’re ahead of us again.

Clara: Well then, let’s hurry and catch up to them. We have to stop Copple and that masked guy!

Clare: You still haven’t realized who that is.

*The Twins give chase and reach the Mother Emerald tree

Clare: This is it. The great tree of Emerald woods, Mother Emerald.

Clara: It seems smaller the the other tree.

Clare: That’s because it’s always bigger on the inside. (She enters the tree)

Clara: What! Really? (She follows in after Clare)

*Inside, they find a large open space, in the center is a ragged old man and a barrel

Clara: Huh? Who’s that?

Clare: Wait a minute… I’ve seen his face somewhere before. (He’s whispering jokes to the barrel and it starts to bubble)

Old man: What do idiots drink? So-Duhhhh! (Clara and the barrel giggle) What do sodas call their dads? Pop! (Clara and the barrel laugh again) A hippie’s favorite soda? Granola cola! (Clare remains unamused)

Clare: Really? Are you serious? Telling puns to a barrel in a dead end tree. You have gone insane, haven’t you old man?

Clara: C’mon, he’s funny.

Old man Gubbles: My name… is Gubbles. <Founder and creator of Golden drop soda: Gubbles>

Clare: Ah-ha! I knew I recognized you somewhere. Your face is exactly the same as the statue at the Estate. You’re the Gubbles! Creator of Golden drop soda!

Clara: He is!?! I didn’t know other people could live that long.

Old man Bubbles: Yes… I am. I built the Emerald Estate, and I founded Golden drop soda Inc. I did that. And… I am the ultimate comedian, with the laughing and the chortling and the har har HAR!

Clare: If you are the real Gubbles of Emerald Estate, then you should know about the Golden drop Reserve.

Clara: Yeah, we need it importantly.

Old man Gubbles: Yes, Mademoiselles. Indeed… What you see before you is the most legendary of sodas… The Golden drop Reserve…And, I am pleased to tell you, this Golden drop soda… is yours to enjoy!(He bows as he presents his masterpiece)

Clara: Wow. That was easy. We can get this back to King Silvers in no time.

Old man Gubbles: Har hee HAR!

Clare: What’s so funny?

Old man Gubbles: I have worked on Golden drop Reserve for 1000 YEARS...

Clara and Clare: WHHHAAAATTT!!!

Clare: How did you live that long?

Clara: 1000 Years STRAIGHT?

Old man Gubbles: I have been telling it joke after joke, so it would mature, and then mature some more, and then yet more…Until at last the greatest soda of all would be completed with the fizz and the tastiness.

Clare: *whispers to Clara* His way of talking is reminding me of someone… we should grab the barrel and run for it.

Old man Gubbles: Because it is a soda of such high caliber and repute, rude guests meet a fate such as this…UN… DEUX …TROIS! (Barrels containing the bodies of trespassers descend from the ceiling. Among them are Copple and Newbie)

Clare: Oh My GODDESSES!!!

Clara: They’ve all been barreled! Even those two from before are here!

Copple: Th- that’s no ordinary soda, see? We can’t stand up to such a beverage!!!

Newbie: Guhhhh…

Clare: But what happened? We were just behind you two by a few minutes!

Old man Gubbles: The Great Golden drop reserve is a thing to savor, with the flavor and tang and yum in the belly! (Eyes sprout from the barrel and the Golden drop reserve transforms into a monster. The Goldropoter)

Goldropoter: GURR-GAAAAA-LORRRRRR!!!

Clare: It’s ALIVE?!

Clara: Awesome! It’s like a soda knight!

Clare: It’s a monster, Clara.

Clara: Oh… AHHHHHH!!!

*The Goldropoter starts rapid spinning and sends Copple and Newbie flying

Old man Gubbles: Ahhh… It is wonderful… So wonderful…The great soda shines… HOWEVER!!! That was not the only hidden soda power that my jokes have bred over these 1000 years!

Clare: You mean there is more.

Old man Gubbles: Now I insist you fully experience the texture, taste, and aroma of the Golden drop soda reserve. BON APPETIT!

Clare: Keep your guard up Clara; we have no idea what this thing could be capable of doing.

Clara: We’re fighting Soda. How many people have ever done that?

Boss Battle Start!

*The Goldropoter creates splashes of itself with its sword to attack both twins

Clare: Block it! (She successfully blocks it; Clara on the other hand is hit by it)

Clara: mmm… Yum! It’s so sweet and flavorful! I could drink it forever!

Clare: Focus! We’re still fighting here!

Clara: Oh, right. Didn’t you learn a new team attack too?

Clare: I mean, I did think of one… But I don’t feel right using you like that.

Clara: No time to think about that! Just do it!

Clare: All right, fine! Pass me your hammer. (She uses the Hammer to squish Clara down to size and Knocks her towards the Boss) KNOCKBACK TWINS! (Goldropoter raises its shield)

Clara: I’mma smash right through that shield of yours Soda!

*The Shield breaks only to reveal its second weapon

Clara: It’s got a soda blaster!!!

Goldropoter: *Gurgle* (It fires two soda bubbles and hits both Clara and Clare)

Clare: Urrh… I’m all sticky…

Clara: Ahhh! (She gets back up) Time for Chopper twins. (Clare helps her get higher with her jump, but she messes up the spinning again) Ow. My nose.

Clare: Duck! (She rushes above her sister and crosses blades with the Goldropoter’s) Get back! (Clare slashes and removes half of the Goldropoter’s liquid body with ordinary water)

Clara: Whoa, that was amazing sis!

Clare: It’s a lot weaker now. Let’s finish it off!

* Old man Gubbles comes twirling in and tell a joke

Old man Gubbles: Funny pigs are real Hams! (The Goldropoter laughs and the bubbles it made healed it a little)

Clare: Hey! He just healed it by telling a joke!

Clara: What? How is that supposed to work? (With no weapons, all the Goldropoter can do is chomp down on Clara) AHHHH!!! (The bite poisons her blood stream with sugar)

Clare: Oh No! Clara, your poisoned!

Clara: I’ll be okay… this time I’ll get chopper twins down for sure! (Gubbles twirls by and heals the Goldropoter again)

Old man Gubbles: Who hear hoarse horses?

Clara: Stop that! (She gets high in the air again and this time gets the spinning right) Take this! CHOPPER TWINS (She spins downwards toward the Goldropoter and repeatedly bashes it with the spinning motion, defeating it) Hah… Told ya it would be cool.

Clare: You did excellent Clara. Sorry for doubting your attack the first time.

Clara: Don’t worry about it, K.

* The Goldropoter goes back into its barrel being scared of the girls now

Old man Gubbles: NOOOOOOO!!!

Clara: What’s up with you? We beat your delicious soda monster.

Old man Gubbles: B-but the jokes! The puns! The humor I’ve saved up for the last 1000 YEARS!!!

Clare: Those “jokes” made a monster and almost got us killed! (Gubbles starts aggressively bouncing around cracking the floor)

Clara: Hey! The floor’s cracking too much! (It cracks into a huge hole and the twins fall in with the soda barrel)

Clare: YOU JERKKKK!!!

Clara: NOT AGAINNN!!!

Old man Gubbles: Au revoir.

*The soda barrel falls into an underground cave, Clara falls into the barrel, and Clare lands a bit away from her sister

Clare: Uhhh… my head… Why does this keep happening? Clara? Clara! Where are you? (Muffled gurgles can be heard in the distance) I have to find her, and Quickly! (She makes her way through the cavern while also avoiding battles with wild Makasses and Lobushs. Clare soon finds the barrel) Oh, there’s the barrel Golden drop reserve, but where’s Clara? (Barrel shakes a bit) I get the feeling she’s actually closer then I think. (Barrel shakes violently) KYA! Is it going to come to life again? (Clara’s head pops out of the barrel)

Clara: Phwah! Tasty. Oh Hi Sis.

Clare: Clara? What are you doing in there?

Clara: I dunno.

Clare: I suppose we can consider this as acquiring the Golden drop reserve. Now we have to bring back to King Silvers.

Clara: Way ahead of you. (She pops back into the barrel and topples it over into the river)

Clare: Guess I have no other choice. (She hops on and directs the barrels path with her water powers) I'll get us back to the castle

*Clare rides the barrel all the way to the bridge to Silvers Castle.

Clare: We’re here. (They start gaining speed) Wait, that’s too fast! Watch out! (The barrel crashes into the bridge, Clare lands by the entrance and a soda stuffed Clara lands next to her) Whew, we somehow survived that. (looks at Clara) Please tell me you didn’t just drink it all.

Clara: …Urp… (The two gate guards investigate the situation)

Gate Guard 1: Hmmm!!! Well, look at this! A very Clara-esque female and a Clee… uh, some other girl! (Clare mood drops)

Clare: Look we don’t have time for this. Clara’s filled with the Golden drop soda reserve we have to get her king Silvers

Gate Guard 2: WHAAAAAAAT?!?

Clare: oh no…

Gate Guard 1: What is it?

Gate Guard 2: Clara’s gut is filled to the brim with Golden drop reserve? And it’s just sloshing around her insides?!? Gross!

Gate Guard 1: Th-That’s terrible! And sort of disgusting! We must contact Lady Leset immediately!

Gate Guard 2: Hmm! By the way… what’s Golden drop reserve?

Gate Guard 1: Shh! I have no idea… (Clare faints)
