if whipped cream finally got an event for the sugar swan, how would you want it to play out? ex. buffs? nerfs? story? tying any loose ends together?
oh BOY this is about to get rly long so buckle up anon.
firstly, we’ll start with the plot of the event, thankfully kingdom has already done the work for me and has already introduced us the iconic remorseful sugar swan, so the plot begins with pomegranate subsequently cursing it with her mirror the same way she did with night raven, thus creating remorseful sugar swan in the crob universe. however no one notices this except wind archer (who cannot fight the swan on his own) until much later when the surrounding nature gets more aggressive and corrupted the following days after the event.
and as such wind archer scoured off in search of help, namely his co-creator, millennial tree. he figured due to his extremely close bond with the swan (the two created wind archer after all), he must have an idea or two on how to purify it once more.
whipped cream, a natural fanatic of swans and their gracefulness does not know of the sugar swan’s existence until he receives odd dreams about a powerful and raging storm. (this is perhaps a byproduct of millennial tree’s past comatose state dreams, as millennial tree formed a close bond with whipped due to his dancing he somehow shared a sense of shared dreams between him and the tree). one day he was fed up by these weird nightmares and set off on his own.
oddly enough, as he was heading out to the forest he went as a child in search for some answers (the twisted maze grove), he encounters the cookiemals and a strange new cookie besides them (this cookie is candy meteorite cookie, who was created in the sugar swan’s galaxy lake, i also just now came up w them bc devsis likes making new cookies 😭). who were affected by the growing corruption of the dessert paradise and went to look for help. they were also accompanied by fig who saw their distress and went to ease their pain, whipped soon follows. (at this point, wind archer has caught up to millennial tree and informed him of the situation.)
the group of 6 after some time have finally reached the sugar swan’s galaxy lake where they saw the corrupted state of the swan with their own eyes. whipped especially looks distressed as he is familiar with swans as a whole. they soon emerge in a fight with the swan itself as it is hostile.
the group struggle for a bit, trying to find a way to purify the swan without harming it. fig has tried sounding their horn but it brought no effect, millennial tree has also noticed that his time power was fruitless in this state as it could create a time loop. wind archer and candy meteorite are too weak to battle such a powerful enemy and the cookiemals cower in the bushes in fear of their own creator retaliating against them.
however, whipped in an act of determination and fondness of swans, have decided to perform a dance in hopes that it could ease the swan itself... it miraculously works! (this is due to whipped cream’s description where it says his dancing can calm any storm with its gracefulness), the swan, feeling a bit of relatability of the dance, eased up a bit, and this allowed the combined efforts of millennial tree and wind archer to purify it unharmed.
even though it was purified, the swan itself retained its cookie state. (this is due to an overarching narrative in the cookie run story where something of big calamity is disrupting the forces of nature to such a degree that mythical creatures have to retain in their cookie forms as a method of survival. this can be seen in the dragons, and subsequently the weird cooling of dragon’s valley.)
the swan thanked the group for their help and vowed to make a repayment of some kind to all of them, millennial tree and sugar swan cookie hug for a bit, but not until everyone else joined in on it as well.
pomegranate, noticing her attempt failed after merely a week is disappointed, but vows to come back soon enough.
