Chapter #4Mercedes's Chocolate Chip and Tiny Lion Cookies by: Unknown Takes place around chapter, 8, but has some spoilers for chapter 11.
"Are you sure this will work Hubert?" Edelgard asked, watching the dark mage prepare his spell.
"Yes of course I'm sure." Hubert said, finishing the magic circle he was drawing on the ground. "Are you sure this is how you wish to end Dimitri's life?"
"Yes, I'm sure. There can be no evidence of what happened to him...." Edelgard said, firming her convictions for the dark deed she was ordering done.
"Wouldn't it be easier to eat him yourself then?" Hubert asked.
"Call me sentimental, but I don't know if I'd be able to do it. Plus knowing the truth about me would probably drive him insane. Better that his friends be the ones to eat him, without knowing the truth." Edelgard said.
"Very well. I'll commence the spell then." Hubert said with a sinister grin. Edelgard smiled, glad her plan was moving ahead nicely. Still, she couldn't help but wonder what the tiny prince would taste like...
-----
Dimitri woke up in an unfamiliar place, laying stop a brown boulder. He pushed himself to his feet, confused, before toppling over again as the boulder he braced his feet on slid away, toppling down across several identical looking boulders. When he used his hands to brace his impact, he found they sunk into the rock, covering his hands in brown goop. Then his nose kicked in, and he realized this was no rock, but a giant chocolate chip.
"What's going on?" a familiar voice called from behind him. He turned to see Ashe, pinned under the chocolate chip that had rolled away from him. Next to him was Dedue, stoic and silent as always, trying to push the offending sweet off of Ashe.
"Seems like we on top of a pile of giant chocolate chips." Sylvain cut in, appearing from Dimitri's left. Felix was right behind him, irritable as always. "Glad you guys are here too. I woke up a few minutes ago and I thought I'd accidentally broken up with a witch again." Sylvain said, rubbing his neck in embarrassment.
"But how is something like this possible?" Ashe asked. "If these are chocolate chips, we must be no more than a centimeter or two tall!"
"Don't worry Ashe, we will figure this out. First, we should check if any others are here. Sylvain, you've had a chance to look around, is it possible the girls are here somewhere?" Dimitri asked.
"Nope, it's just us. I can sense women a mile away." Sylvain said, joking despite the dangerous situation.
As if to prove him wrong, the sky suddenly split open, as though clouds had parted in an instant. The boys looked up through half covered eyes towards the light source, only to find Mercedes staring down at them, her giant face framed by the sides of the bag of chocolate chips they were trapped in.
"I don't think your senses work very well." Felix snarled at Sylvain.
"Mercedes! We are in here!" Dimitri yelled, hoping the giant cleric would hear him.
Unfortunately, she didn't. All she said was "I have a feeling these are going to be my best cookies yet." before tipping the bag to its side and starting a chocolate avalanche. The shrunken boys grasped for a handhold, but everything in the bag was in motion, and before long all of them had fallen out of the bag and into the mixing bowl filled with cookie mix.
The boys lost track of each other as they landed in the mixing bowl. They were each temporarily submerged under the cookie mix, barely able to swim to the surface of the mucky mix. When they did, they were met with a cloud of descending flour as Mercedes dumped the contents of a flour bag down onto them. Coated in flour, the tiny lions were completely unrecognizable, and Mercedes didn't notice them as she lowered a wooden spoon down towards them. Mercedes began the familiar process of stirring the mix, with no regard for the tiny people being stirred with it.
The tiny people could barely breath or see as they spun in dizzy circles. They were struck by the fast moving wooden spoon, slammed against the walls of the bowl, and forced under the thickening mix. As they struggled to remain conscious, the mixing slowed to a stop, leaving them gasping for breath and nearly buried alive in cookie dough. They had no energy left to fight back as Mercedes began to scoop cookie sized globs of dough onto a tray, preparing them for baking. Only when she lifted the tray to bring it towards the waiting oven did the tiny boys begin yelling again, their fear of the oven snapping them out of their spoon induced daze. But Mercedes didn't hear a thing, and just smiled cutely as she slid the tray into the oven and slammed the door, sealing them in hell.
The heat was unbearable. The cookie dough surrounding them insulated them enough to keep them alive, but it was still a living hell.
"So which girl do you want to get eaten by?" Sylvain asked, trying to lighten the mood in the horrendous heat. No one was amused, and Ashe couldn't help but let out a desperate, fearful sob at the thought. "Jeez, tough crowd." Sylvain murmured.
"None of us should be here but you Dimitri! You're the wild boar, you're the one who should be hunted and eaten like the animal you are." Felix scowled, taking his anger out on the future king.
"Give it a rest with the boar crap already Felix! Just shut up and hope you get crushed by a girl's teeth before you're digested!" Dimitri yelled, unable to contain his anger. Ashe sobbed again, but things were silent otherwise after that.
----
The shrunken lions had never been as relieved as they were when they saw Mercedes open the oven. There was the smiling face of their friend and healer, the girl who had saved them from death dozens of times. But now she wasn't smiling at her friends as she healed them, she was smiling at her food as she outstretched and oven mitt towards them. She pulled the tray out of the oven, and 4 tiny sighs of relief were let out as they escaped the hellish heat of the oven.
Mercedes leaned down over the tray and inhaled deeply, loving the smell of her completed work. She happened to be right above Dimitri when she did this, who saw the dark abyss of her nostrils hanging above him. The suction of her breath might have pulled him in if he wasn't trapped in a cookie. Instead, he stayed rooted in place, looking up at her beautiful face as she licked her lips. "Ah the girls are going to just love these cookies! Especially Annette."
Mercedes turned and walked out of their sight, no doubt to go call her friends in. The tiny lions were running out of time.
"What are we going to do? We are dead!" Ashe yelled, panicking.
"Remain calm Ashe. I believe the girls will notice us before we are consumed." Dedue said stoically, somehow always calm. But even he had a hard time staying calm as the girls stampeded in, Mercedes in the lead. 3 giantesses stood eagerly around the round table, watching as Mercedes brandished a spatula above them. Ashe screamed as the spatula came down for him first, slipping underneath the cookie he was trapped in. His screams were pulled away from the rest of the boys as he was deposited down onto Ingrid's plate. The beautiful blonde knight smiled at the sight of her cookie, but didn't grab it yet, waiting patiently for the other girls.
Sylvain was next. He was feeling very conflicted about this. He had no interest in dying, but he couldn't help but hope that if he was going to be eaten, that it was by one of the hotter girls. Ingrid was taken, so Mercedes seemed like a good choice. Unfortunately, Mercedes scooped him into Flayn's plate. Sylvain sighed with disappointment. Sure, Flayn was cute, but she was also younger than Lysithea. At least, that's what he guessed from her appearance. And even if they did get noticed before being eaten, he expected he'd be getting a lecture from Seteth on getting too close to Flayn. It almost made him wish for death.
Mercedes quickly scooped Dedue's cookie onto her own plate, not hearing the young man from Duscur shouting her name as he was raised up and lowered back down. Then she turned her spatula to Dimitri.
Dimitri assumed that Annette would be his executioner, watching as the red head licked her lips in excitement, her eyes fixed on him, or rather, the cookie he was in. She was the only one left without a cookie, so it seemed natural it was hers. However, Mercedes surprised them both by scooping him into a different plate that was sitting in the middle of the table.
"What's the big idea Merci?" Annette asked, dying for a cookie at this point.
"Relax Annette you'll get one." Mercedes said, moving her spatula towards Felix. "It's Edelgard's birthday, so I'm just saving one for her."
Dimitri nearly snapped at the thought. As if being eaten wasn't humiliating enough, it appeared he was destined to end up as a bit of fat on the ass of his greatest rival. Not only that, but he was forced to watch as Felix was deposited on Annette's plate. Once again he was powerless, forced to watch his loved ones die with no way to save them.
What happens?
1. Flayn notices a funny looking chocolate chip, and is shocked to discover it's Sylvain. Felix is already in Annette's mouth though.
2. The girls dig in, and the boys are devoured.
3. Before they can eat, an emergency calls them out of the room, leaving their cookies on the table. But this is just a trick from Lysithea, who comes in and eats them all.  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
