AN: Remember about my last note about the 'Hopeless Boss Fight' trope and 'Five Star Foodon?' well it's going to be same, but it must be delayed for Chapter Seven due to me watching the latest episode. This Chapter I have something else. A Rival will appear.

Chapter 6: A Sour Mix-Up

"Let's go, Pumpkin-up!" Pumpkin Cake, daughter of the Cake family, has just summoned her 3-star meal ticket as Emerald with his 2-star meal ticket, known as Choco Cheese-It. Emerald is at the sparring field outside Pinkie's house next weekend. Already he has defeated Pound Cake's Vanilla-Zilla, a smaller version of Kaiju. Though size isn't fooled because the Vanilla-Zilla can shoot fire breaths. Now Choco Cheese-It squares off with the new Foodon.

"Ooo! Two Dessert Foodons!" Pinkie commented, "Now things are getting frosty."

"Pumpkin-up, huh?" Emerald examined what kind of foodon it is. A Plate with a slice of Apple Pumpkin Pie, and a Blindfold hiding the eyes. It has a GI-Uniform, build is feminine, and has tennis shoes. It demonstrates with amazing close-ranged skills, kicking fierce. Emerald's Choco Cheese-It did most of the dodging, before firing a Tommy Gun. Pumpkin-up dodged the first bursts before leaping back in, delivering a straight torpedo kick. With the T-Gun pointed to the ground, Cheese-It pulled the trigger to fire an energy blast, propelling itself into the air before firing a stream of lasers. Pumpkin-Up keeps getting stung by the lasers to the back, and one strong shot knocks it out of conscious state.

"No fair!" Pumpkin returned her Foodon to her meal ticket, "I Couldn't reach your Foodon!"

"Are you giving up that early?" Emerald said, "Bring Pumpkin-up back out."

"I Can't do that." Pumpkin declined, "My Foodon isn't smart enough to reach him."

"You need a Ranged Foodon." Pinkie lectured,

"No I don't." Pumpkin Cake glared, "I am confident with close-combat."

Words of lecture fired out about getting Pumpkin Case to not rely on Close-Combat too much, before a shout of male stops him. "YOU THERE! ANDREW!" The three turns the head to the shouter, walking at moderate-fast speed up to Emerald. It has a light-brown hair short and combed. Eyes are orange and the skin is pale golden. The person shouted is walking up with a fixed glare before he stopped and launched his pointing finger at him. "WHERE ARE MY PARENTS?!"

"What?" is the only world out of Emerald Rook, "Parents?"

"Do not play dumb Andrew! I know it's you under the hoodie, kidnapping them!" he stated, "Where are they?"

"I am not playing Dumb." Emerald glared slightly, "You are accusing the wrong person."

"TELL ME OR I'LL FORCE IT OUT OF YOU!" then the Stranger pulled out the Meal Ticket.

"Pumpkin! Run inside!" Pinkie pushed her and the little girl ran inside the house, before opening the window curtains to look outside. She watches as Emerald battles a violent chef.

"I will say it again," Emerald said as his Foodon Choco Cheese-it walks up, "You got the wrong Person. My name is not Andrew, it's Emerald Rook."

"FINE!" and he tosses the Meal Ticket to summon, "ATTACK, Michi Doggone-it!" It is revealed like a Hot Doggone-it. But revealed to have the meat sauce on a Hot Dog on a Bun, on a Styrofoam bowl.

"Michi... Doggone... it..."

And that Styrofoam Boal is colored black, while having a Black westerny hat and black westerny cowboy uniform. The Michi Doggone-it goes first with Revolvers wielded, shooting steaming fire meteor pellets. Cheese-it jumped and fired a Tommy-Gun, unleashing barrage of lasers. The Michi Doggone-it dodged and fired, and both foodons in a fierce Fire-Fight against each others. While Choco Cheese-it is faster, so is Michi Doggone-it. Michi Doggone-it managed to disable Cheese-it's Tommy Gun by aiming at the Barrel.

"Oh boy. Return, Cheese-it." Emerald's meal ticket vaccums the Foodon back, and just as he readies another one...

"Now Michi Doggone-it! Seize him to the ground!"

In a split second the Michi Doggone-it tackled Emerald and he is found pinned down with a boot. And now one of Doggone-it's revolver is pointed at the head. The stranger walks up with a glare of death.

"Andrew! I will give you a count to three," he threatened, "To tell me where are my Parents, or my Michi Doggone-it will blow your head clean off."

"This is madness." Emerald said, "And I told you I am not Andrew!"

"One!" and he begins counting, refusing to listen to a word or even believe what he says.

"Wait! Don't do this!" Emerald pleaded, "We can work together to-"

"Two!" he refuses Emerald's request.

"Please... Don't break the l-"

"THREE!"

But a Stranger didn't finish the sentence for the Trigger-Pull. With a shout of "Kombdi-Nari!" a Foodon appears and spin kicked the Michi Doggone-it away. It is revealed to be wearing a Moderate-Magenta dancing robe. An anthro tiger, with head a leaf-shaped plate of the chicken curry made of rice flour and wheat. The leaf plate head on the end is a head of a Tiger with eyes. Emerald gets up and see the foodon dance like a Capoeira.

"Eeee! It's a Kombdi-Nari!" Pinkie cheered, "That means Saffron Masala!"

The light-brown haired stranger in a meantime backed away, now with his foodon defeated. He glared at the indian chef, who has two shades of dark fuchsia. Her sweater is tan with blue inlines on bottoms and end of sleeves. Her pants are orange and she has purple slippers. And her eyes are purple.

"How dare you Interfere." he accused,

"No." Saffron shook his head, as she walked up to picked Emerald up on his feet. Then fixing a light glare at the Stranger who just returned his foodon while Saffron the same with hers, "How dare You accuse someone he didn't do. I told you Iron Blitz that he is not the Andrew, but you ignored me."

In return, the stranger 'Iron Blitz' growled and turned away, leaving. Saffron Masala sighed in dissapointment.

"I have a feeling that's not the last." Emerald said, before turning to the other Chef, hugged by Pinkie Pie, and the Pink Girl babbles about how it is good to see her again.

"Nice to see you too, Pinkie." she choked, "But please release me. I dislike losing my last breath." and Pinkie does so, before bringing her to Emerald Rook.

"Oh! Emerald Rook! This is Saffron Masala!" Pinkie Introduced, "She's a friend of mine who works at 'The Tasty Treat'. And she is no Vegan."

"Tasty Treat?" Emerald Rook said, "Are you from India?"

"That's a good guess." Saffron said, "Yes, but me and my father moved here for the new Restaurant, and I'm assigned to Canterlot High. I heard you're a new Chef."

"Half-Chef, Half-Handyling." Emerald smiled, "I am average and I'm going to learn more from Cooking."

"I see the Determination." Saffron commented, "I plore you to never turn your back on it. I wish to see your Foodon battles in my eyes. But I apologise for not appearing sooner. Iron Blitz is seen as a Loyal Friend to others, but unforgiving to his enemies especially the Glutton Empire."

"Didn't those Chefs defeated Glutton Empire." Emerald asked,

"Yes, but they have returned as the Remnants." Saffron said, "I Came here to warn you in advance, that the Glutton Remnants will invade once again."

"That is bad." Pinkie frowned, "They almost torn apart my friends."

"I need to warn them, especially Sunset."

"Sunset?" That surprised Saffron, and to Pinkies Eyes she hasn't known the story yet. "But she's the bully from what I heard."

"Not anymore." Emerald shook his head, "She's actually reformed." and turned to Pinkie, "Pinkie, can you call your friends? I'll go pick up Twilight and that new Kid. Looks like we need to share the news."

Somewhere else, There is the same Humanoid Robot spying on Emerald Rook. But from battle he looks dissapointed.

"Prepare yourself. My master will soon appear." then phases out of the hiding spot. 'And I will face you first.'

AN: After the last Episode I watched, I couldn't refrain from including one of the two Ponies EG-fied in my Story. But now here's the new Rival for Emerald Rook, who's also a Chef and indeed I included a Foodon based off the one in Chicago which I haven't visited actually. That's going to be one of the Sub-Plot, and the main plot involving Vegan Cults and Glutton Remnants begins now another chapter. Don't worry, the Robot's Master will appear next chapter and Coriander Cumin will be the Chef wielding 5-Star Foodons.
