"It would seem that Sweet and Sour Kingdom doesn't know
Their place in this world. From what
I've heard recently, they're bent on getting revenge for the death of two of their teammates.
So, to that, I say, go to some other kingdom
That cares? Don't take this out on us just because that happened to you, okay?
I have better things to do than entertain a bunch of
Miserable little dragons and demons who are out for revenge. But, go ahead,
Eat your hearts out while you're at it. We have other
Things to deal with than to allow this stupidity.
Our empire is different, you see? We don't
Go about warfare with violence. But, I assume they intend to
End this with violence rather
Than through carnival games. Alright, so listen, listen here, and listen now.
Don't attack any
Of my teammates.
We will be doing this fair and square.
Now, here's how the rules work
Around here. First, we race across the Brie Canal.
Now, there's a few traps
Down this canal, but whoever gets to the Kingdom Bastion
First is allowed to destroy up to half of the towers on the battlefield.
Uh, so, if your entire team crosses the finish line before the rest? Half get destroyed.
Now, if only a couple cross, you only get to destroy about three. There's a time limit to cross the canal. I
Know that's a little complicated, so
You'll have to bear
With me here, alright? Anyone who tries to beeline directly to our bastion will be
Eliminated immediately, That's not the rules of the games here. This isn't
Like Pitaya Land that allows that, well,
Let's be honest, they're
So much weaker than us, but
How could I forget that?
Of course, our approach to
Warfare is a little weird, but we're not as weird as some of the others! I mean, have
You seen how some of the
Others kingdom warfare works?
Uh, no, you haven't? Ah,
Whatever, whatever, whatever you say. Anyway,
Here in Cheese World, we don't resort to
Any violence. Look, I know
That seems too good to be true
And all that, but it's true. It's not as
Rare as you think for there to be nonviolent
Empires. There's actually quite
A few others
Lying around in Satiation Kingdom. And, no, Sweet and Sour Kingdom
Was not one of these. They
Are a very violent
Republic. I'm not saying violent kingdoms are
Lesser, or anything, but their approach to how things are run is quite
Obtuse. Looking at you, Strawberry Kingdom. They're
Only at the top of Satiation
Kingdom because they deploy
Such violent tactics all the time.
Like, their Kingdom Warfare just boils down to, destroy the towers, attack the enemies, and go to the fork tower.
It's so bloody simple, I don't
Know what to say.
Eh, but it's not like I care how that country runs their kingdom."
Reaching a large, pale yellow body of water with herbs and spices floating around it, a badger, a kraken, a plant monster, and dragon plus two annoying specters floating around, a finger had been pointed at her team and she. Oh, grate, Sweet And Sour Kingdom had really decided to waltz their unwelcome tushes here.
"Cheese World, we challenge you to a battle!" Sour Plum Badger cried. "We'll get revenge for our fallen comrades!"
Toot, toot, toot.
Kingdom Warfare Start.
Objective: Reach the Destination Within the Timeline.
Note: The more teammates that reach the bastion, the more towers that get destroyed.
"Listen here! We ain't following no rules around here!" Jalapeno Burger Plant cried. "We just want to knock these sorry little losers out!"
"Uh, hello, loser number one!" Gouda Ram Lord cried. "If you don't follow the rules of our kingdom, you'll lose by default!"
"That's right!" Cheesy Macaroni Fox cried. "Your precious kingdom is about to collapse, right? Better do as you're told, or you'll have to face automatic defeat!"
"Fiddlesticks!" Chili Dog Kraken cried. "Foiled by law and order!"
"Who are these weirdos?" Swiss Cheese Elf asked.
"Beats me," Pecorino Romano Demon said.
"Oh, dear, we ask you to just fight us fair and square, alright?" Nguri Panda King asked. "We are fully aware of what went down in Pitaya Land, and just know, breaking the rules here has dire consequences."
"We ain't afraid of ya'll!" Buffalo Wings Hydra shouted.
Time is running out. Time remaining to cross Brie Canal: five minutes.
"Oh, grate, could you all stop wasting time?" Blue Cheese Empress cried. "While you're all busy arguing, we barely have time to get to the end of the canal!" As she said such, she hopped into her boat. These stupid demons, they wasted their time on purpose didn't they? Ghosties flying beside her, she sped up her paddle. Get away from her, get away from her. Why did the cheese bed beneath her feel so cold all of a sudden? Speeding up her movement, a whistle soon blared.
Blue Cheese Empress has reached the destination.
Guaranteed towers that can be destroyed: three.
"How did she cross the finish line already?!" Sour Plum Badger cried. "Cheat!"
Nguri Panda King and Cheesy Macaroni fox speeding towards the canal finish line next, she could hear the opposing kingdom screech cheater over and over, the Empress rolled her eyes. Excuse her? She was following her rules to a t! It's not her fault that they're slower than her! Gouda Ram Lord, Swiss Cheese Elf, and Pecorino Romano Demon speeding down next, another horn soon blared.
All six members of the Cheese World Team have crossed the Finish Line.
Guaranteed Towers that can be destroyed: ten.
"What?! You can't be serious!" Sour Plum Badger cried. "They cheated! Announcer, take it back, they're cheats!"
But, no such announcement ever came. Sirens staying silent, the annoying party of four screeched as they crossed the finish line. Nothing blaring that they could destroy any towers, the Empress could feel a storm ready to brew at any given moment. Ah, what a bunch of sore losers. Shoulders feeling cold, she shivered. Could this stupid ghost behind her go away already? She ought to eat that stupid thing in her salad tonight!
Reaching the amusement park, she could see her enemies' look about ready to roll around in their graves. Ah, she knew what was coming now. Where's the real battlegrounds? Excuse her, these were the real battlegrounds. Ferris wheel spinning backwards, she could feel her heart leap. Ah, no something wasn't right about this, what did Gouda Ram Lord do? Siren tooting, the next announcement soon came.
Objective: Three members of either party must win a carnival game in order to destroy the towers.
Other Objective (Not Recommended): Defeat All Enemies. (Four of Four)
Objective: Find the star seat on the ferris wheel to claim victory.
Warning: directly destroying towers one is not permitted to do so is punishable by death.
Announcements ending, the Empress could hear the enemy groups grumble to themselves. She couldn't help but hold in a giggle upon their shock and awe. Didn't like how the rules worked around here? Then get stomped on by spiked cheese rum! Ha. Half of the enemies opposing towers knocked out, the game machines popped up. But, the ones coming open were quite the chore.
Ring toss staring at her, the Empress could hardly brie-eve her eyes. Oh, great, this was her least favorite one of all time. Why did it have to be this, of all games? How could she even hope to get any sort of victory at this one? Gouda Ram Lord, how dare he cycle in the top tier difficulty. She'd give him a stern talking to later, that's for sure! But, as she had begun throwing, she could hear her enemies ramble.
"That little warning ain't gonna stop us!" Sour Plum Badger cried. "Their towers are out in the open!"
"Just shut up, and play fair, or else," Gouda Ram Lord cried. "Like, hello, you heard the announcement, didn't you?!"
"You think that's gonna stop us?!" Sour Plum Badger cried. "Bye bye, towers!"
Boom, boom, boom.
Towers Destroyed: six out of twenty.
"Oh, my gouda, oh my gouda, my tails, my taiiiiiiiiiiils!" Cheesy Macaroni Elf cried. "I don't think I'm going to make it." Boink.
Enemies Defeated: One of six.
Tower destroyed, the Empress tossed rings with all her might. Ah, so these four wanted to break the rules, did they? If one of their teammates is sentenced to death, it's not her fault! Hmph, she'll show them how the rules work around here. Taking a deep breath, she through the last little toy onto the final hole. Dings pinging, she readied herself to run to the ferris wheel.
Games successfully completed: one
Games needed to be completed for objective to be cleared: two.
"Pecorino, how's your game coming along?!" Blue Cheese Empress shouted across the fair.
"Fine," Pecorino Romano Demon said. "Almost done."
Ding, ding, ding.
Games Successfully Completed: Two.
Games needed to be completed for objective to be cleared: one.
Towers destroyed: fifteen of twenty.
But, as such announcement played, the empress could hear further towers on their side be decimated. Ah, this kingdom sure loved breaking the rules, didn't they? Hearing Gouda Ram Lord fall to the ground and become one with the loser bench, she could hear him say he'll personally wring out the badger's neck for this. Ah, lovely. How grate. This is why she didn't want these freaks to come to her empire!
"Nguri!" Blue Cheese Empress cried. "How's your progress on the ski ball game?"
"Sorry, my liege," Nguri Panda King said in a weak voice, they got me down."
Allies defeated: three of six.
"Swiss Cheese Elf, hurry!" Blue Cheese Empress cried. "You're our only hope."
"Don't worry, I just have to shoot this target, and," Swiss Cheese Elf said. "Boom." But, as she said such, further destruction had happened around her.
Towers destroyed: ten of twenty.
Badger continuing to break the rules, the Empress cracked her knuckles as she reached the ferris wheel. These fiends, if they think they can get away with this clear violation, they could kiss their lives goodbye. Well, it wouldn't be her fault, anyway, if that happened. The fair would get pretty lethal for rule breakers.
Hopping on the Ferris Wheel, the Empress stuck her head out the window. Sparkling seat quite far away, she leapt out. Ah, this won't do, she had to get to the flag now. Nothing a little cheese spread wouldn't fix. Wings behind her, she could hear screams come towards her. And, screams they were.
"Her back's open!" Chili Dog Kraken cried. "Hurry!"
"On it!" Jalapeno Burger Plant cried. "You're going down, mister."
"Mister?!" Blue Cheese Empress rumbled. Snapping her fingers. "Who are you calling mister?" As she said such, a pepper jack scythe appeared behind her. "Pepper Jack Onslaught!"
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
Stupid plant knocked into yesterday, as well as the kraken, the Empress could feel her rage begin to build as she leapt into the sparkling seat. How dare they say that word, the m word. They deserved to have their heads chopped clean off. Closing the door behind her, the last two towers on the opposing side had come crashing down.
Starved.
Warning, warning, violation found. Sawblade has been deployed beneath Sour Plum Badger's feet.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaah!" Sour Plum Badger screamed. But, the sawblade had soon become one with her. "You will pay for my death with your lives, Cheese World!"
Living trio departing from the kingdom, the Blue Cheese Empress could feel herself begin to boil over. The m word. The disgusting m word. Fallen teammates regaining consciousness, she returned to her abode. Slamming the door behind her, she slipped back into her virtual reality. No more freaks, no more empress responsibilities, no more nothing. Playing until she could feel herself doze off, the indignance soon returned.
If that stupid kingdom dares to come back, they're going to get it next time.
Rotten cheese served moldy.
