Mystic Flour Cookie unleashed a fog upon Crispia, specifically over the Dark Cacao Kingdom. The fog carried a disease that caused the Cookies to slowly disappear into flour. Dark Cacao Cookie, along with Crunchy Chip Cookie, Caramel Arrow Cookie, and other soldiers, journeyed to the Continent of Beast Yeast, where the core of the fog lay. Some soldiers were lost to the fog in the jungle of Beast Yeast, but Crunchy Chip Cookie, Caramel Arrow Cookie, and the remaining soldiers survived. They climbed a set of stairs, defeated the dumpling guardians of the temple, and explored further. There, they found Cloud Haetae Cookie, who served as a sort of tour guide and explained the history of the "Temple of Empty Tears." He invited them to eat a steamed bun, and they eventually reached the top of the temple. There, Dark Cacao Cookie saw a large cocoon. He broke it open, and Cloud Haetae Cookie turned into flour. Mystic Flour Cookie appeared, and they defeated a giant spider. Then Mystic Flour Cookie appeared once more and turned the rest of Dark Cacao Cookie's soldiers into flour, and everything turned white. When Dark Cacao Cookie woke up, the temple had disappeared, and he found himself in the middle of more stairs. He climbed, crumbling and exhausted, until he reached a garden of peach baos, where he met Peach Cookie. Peach Cookie gave him a peach bao, which made him feel better. Dark Cacao played "Go" with some ancient dumplings, and Peach Cookie told him that if he wished to find peace, he would need to climb the tallest mountain. After a great deal of effort and much crumbling, he reached the top of the mountain and admired the view. He realized there was a cave, so he entered and found himself in a massive cave shaped like a cooking pot. In the center of the cave stood Mystic Flour Cookie. After a long and futile fight, he was defeated. His Soul Jam abandoned him, and his sword broke, freeing the Twin Dragons that he had trapped eons ago. He began returning to flour, but he stood up and gave a speech: even if the dragons would fight until the end of time, he would still be alive, because he is the Grand Cold Sovereign of the Dark Cacao Kingdom — he is DARK CACAO COOKIE! At those words, the Twin Dragons stopped fighting and joined Dark Cacao Cookie, granting him all their power. His Soul Jam returned to him, his clothes transformed completely, and he became stronger and more resolute than EVER! Dark Cacao Cookie stared at Mystic Flour for a long time. She was dirty from the fight with the Twin Dragons, and he did something unbelievable: he took her hand and helped her stand. He held her hand all the way back to Crispia, but halfway there, it began to grow dark. Using his survival skills, Dark Cacao built a camp and killed a gummy bear that was nearby. After Mystic Flour ate and the sun began to rise, they continued on. They set sail across the Licorice Sea, where the monsters tried to attack them but were afraid of Dark Cacao. They finally arrived at the Dark Cacao Kingdom. He showed her to her bedroom, and she explored the Dark Cacao Kingdom once. She thought everything was meaningless, that nothing would survive in the end. She even stopped eating and never came out of her room for months. Dark Cacao noticed this and visited her. After a long talk, she finally spoke about all her concerns, her past, everything. She finally let it all out when she felt she was in a safe place. As the days passed, she began to heal. She ate a bit more, though she almost always forgot to eat, but she no longer wore the veil and instead wore the clothes of the Dark Cacao Kingdom to protect herself from the shivering cold.
