Hello again, and here is chapter 2 of Tartarus Kitchen, enjoy.
Recap: Previously on Tartarus Kitchen, we reveal our 18 contestants taking part in the contest, they were sorted out in two teams of nine, and their first challenge was to present the best signature dish, in the end in was the team that won, the next night was the first dinner service, opening night in Tartarus Kitchen, both teams have shown to have a dodgy start, but it was the red team that was kicked out before the service ended, they nominated Sandalwood and Flash for elimination, and it was Sandalwood who was eliminated from Tartarus Kitchen, 17 remain, who will eliminated in this chapter.
17 chefs remaining.
The red team returned to their dorms, Flash looked at his team.
" Thanks for having my back guys", he said sarcastically.
" Sorry we had to put you up Flash, but it was a tough choice", said Rainbow Dash.
" Just to let you all know I'm not leaving early", said Flash.
The remaining 17 chefs stood in front of the kitchen, head chef Ramsay looked at them.
" Last night service was disappointing, but I am willing to put that behind us and move on, today we'll be doing something different, cocktails, in restaurants cocktails are the main beverages customers would order, other than beer, cider, wine, etc, last night when Vinyl and Twilight were at the bar, they were only serving beers, cider and wine, and any none alcoholic beverages, but no cocktails, today will change, tomorrow nights service, we will have cocktails on the bar menu", said Ramsay.
" For today's challenge, it's a relay race, one by one, each chef will be presented with a cocktail recipe and they must recreate the beverage, once they finish it and present it to the bar, the next chef will enter, the first team to finish and present nine cocktails will win today's reward, and the losing team will be punished, red team, you're short one chef, so one of you will be doing two cocktails, decide among yourselves who to go in which order, and we'll begin the race in five minutes", finished Ramsay.
And so for the red team, in order from first to last, it was Vinyl, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Zephyr, Trixie, Flash, Micro Chips, Rainbow Dash and Vinyl again, going first and last.
And for the blue team, in order from first to last, it was Applejack, Big mac, Bulk Biceps, Derpy, Maud Pie, Rarity, Wallflower, Twilight, Sunset.
" Starting the race is Vinyl from the red team and Applejack from the blue team, on your marks, get set, GO", shouted Ramsay.
Applejack and Vinyl raced to the bar, preparing the first cocktail, a screw driver.
While Applejack was still struggling, Vinyl managed to finish her cocktail and left the bar, Fluttershy was next, and began to prepare her cocktail which was a blue lagoon.
Applejack then finished her screw driver and left the bar, and Big Mac entered and began on the blue lagoon.
He managed to finish the martini overtaking Fluttershy while she was still struggling on her cocktail, and he left the bar, Bulk then entered and began preparing on the third cocktail, which is a margarita.
" Hurry up Fluttershy", said Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy unfortunately slipped up on one of the blue lagoons, and had to make a new one, meanwhile, Bulk finished his Margarita and left the bar, and Derpy entered the bar preparing the fourth cocktail, which is Bloody Mary.
Finally, Fluttershy was able to finish her blue lagoon and left the bar, looking at her team apologetically for slowing them down, meanwhile, Pinkie Pie entered the bar and began preparing for the martini.
Pinkie Pie was absolutely incredible, she managed to finish her cocktail quickly, meanwhile Derpy was still struggling on her cocktail, and Zephyr began entering the bar to work on his margarita
It was now neck and neck, who will finish their margarita first.
Zephyr did, and left, and Trixie went to the bar preparing the fifth cocktail Bloody Mary.
Derpy managed to finish her margarita and left the bar, and now Maud Pie was catching up in the bar making his Bloody Mary.
She too overtook Trixie and finished her drink, and left, meanwhile Rarity entered the bar, and made her cocktail which was a mimosa.
Trixie was able to finish her bloody Mary and left, while Flash entered the bar and began preparing his mimosa.
Rarity finished hers first and left, meanwhile Wallflower entered the bar, and prepared her cocktail, a Shirley Temple.
She was also quick enough to finish hers, meanwhile Flash was still struggling, and Twilight entered the bar, making her cocktail which was a Harvey Wallbanger.
" Come on Flash you're holding us up", groaned Trixie.
Flash was able to finish his mimosa, and left the bar, meanwhile Micro Chips entered the bar and began preparing the Shirley temple.
Twilight however messed up on her Harvey Wallbanger, which helped Micro Chips catch up and finish his Shirley Temple, he then left the bar, and Rainbow Dash entered, and began preparing her Harvey Wallbanger.
She too managed to overtake Twilight and finish her cocktail, and Vinyl returned to the bar to prepare the final cocktail which was a sex on the beach.
Twilight needs to catch up, or Sunset won't be able to make her cocktail.
She was able to, and now Sunset began preparing the sex on the beach cocktail.
Whoever finishes their cocktail first, wins for their team.
And the team to finish their Cocktail is...
...
...
...
...
Sunset on the Blue team.
Vinyl was one second away to finishing hers, but Sunset did a quick overtake and won for her team.
" Congratulations Blue team, you have won today's reward Challenge, what you've earned is a tour at the Sapphire Shores wine region, where you get to do some free wine tasting, along with a free lunch with me this afternoon, now get changed", said Ramsay.
Once the nine blue chefs made their way to the dorms, Ramsay turned to the Red team.
" Red team, how disappointing, tomorrow night's service we'll be serving cocktails on the bar menu, however all the glasses need polishing, and there's about a thousand of them, enjoy yourselves", said Ramsay.
While the blue team enjoyed their lunch and win with head chef Ramsay, the red team were playing the blame game while polishing the glasses.
" So Fluttershy and Flash were holding us up in today's challenge", said Trixie.
" It was mostly Fluttershy", said Flash.
" Hey back off, she did a better job than you did", said Rainbow Dash.
" The time it took her to make on cocktail was the same time it took two other men to make two cocktails one at a time", said Flash.
" Look who's talking, you made two others overtake you", said Rainbow Dash.
" She does have a point", said Pinkie Pie.
" Can we stop arguing, we have to finish working for tomorrow's service", said Fluttershy.
" She's right, because some of us were bad at today's challenge, doesn't make us the weakest overall", said Pinkie Pie.
Both teams began prepping for tonight's dinner service, in 6:45 PM they all lined up.
" Now team, I hope tonight's service will be better than last time, the stations you did last time you'll not do, except for you Bulk, you F*ck up on the Pizza station last time was a disgrace, this time you're going to try again, and Derpy will help you, Flash, you'll be doing Pizzas in your kitchen, there will be no cleaners from now on from you as our hired cleaners have arrived, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, you two will be the waiters, Maud Pie and Zephyr, you two will be the bartenders, you'll also be making the cocktails, is that all clear", said Chef Ramsay.
" Yes Chef", said the 17 chefs.
" Good, now at your stations", said Ramsay.
In the red kitchen for the primary stations, we have Trixie on the Fish station, Vinyl on the meat station, Micro Chips on the Garnish, Pinkie Pie on Appetizers, and Fluttershy on Desserts.
In the blue kitchen for the primary stations, we have Twilight on Meat, Big Mac on Fish, Sunset on Appetizers, Rarity on Garnish and Wallflower on Desserts.
" Jacques Peirre, open up Tartarus Kitchen", said Ramsay.
7:00 PM.
Customers began arrived, the first table was ordered for the red team.
" Okay, One Chicken, one Lamb, Two Scollops, one Vegetarian Pizza", said Ramsay.
" Yes Chef", Responded the team.
He then called the Blue teams first table order.
" One Cod, One Risotto, One Spaghetti", said Ramsay.
" Yes Chef", responded the team.
Twenty minutes go by, and Ramsay was waiting on one of the courses.
" Come on Sunset, it doesn't take that long to make a F*cking Risotto", said Ramsay.
" Sorry Chef", said Sunset, she then handed the Risotto on the pass.
" Honestly, I know slow and steady wins the race, but this is F*cking ridiculous", said Ramsay.
Afterwards, the service continued alright, at least for another 25 minutes.
7:45 PM.
It was 45 minutes into dinner service, and another mistake was made.
" TWILIGHT", he shouted out, bring forth a plate of lamb chops.
" Yes Chef", Twilight said nervously.
" Did you take a bite out of this", he said holding a lamb chop.
" N-No, I didn't", stuttered Twilight.
" Did anyone else take a bite out of this", He said.
The other chefs in the kitchen responded no.
" So it was like that when you cooked it, what the F*ck Twilight, make another chop, and make sure it doesn't look like it was chewed by a F*cking Dog", Ramsay scolded, throwing the messed chop in the bin.
" Yes chef", said Twilight.
20 minutes later, the first hour of Dinner has past, only less than 2 hours remain till the service ends.
" Rainbow Dash, why are you waiting that table, that's the red teams table, leave that to Applejack and wait your own tables, you should know the difference, they are color coded based on their trays, or are you color blind", said Ramsay.
" No Chef, I'm not Color Blind", said Rainbow Dash.
" Then do your own task, and quit taking other peoples jobs", said Ramsay.
15 minutes go by, and nearly Halfway through the service.
" Vinyl, come here", said Ramsay, she then approached him.
" The Chicken is stone cold in the middle, recook it please", said Ramsay.
Five minutes went by and another disaster happened.
" Why did you throw those out Rarity", shouted Ramsay as he saw Rarity throwing a few carrots in the bin.
" They were moldy Chef", said Rarity.
Ramsay then picked up the carrots, and saw that there was nothing wrong with them.
" Does that look moldy to you", said Ramsay.
" I thought they were", said Rarity.
" For someone with creativity I expected better from you", said Ramsay.
It was only ten minutes before another mistake was made and Ramsay was getting fed up.
" Dammit Vinyl, when I said Lamb Chops, I mean Lamb Chops, not Pork Chops, maybe you should start listening and paying further attention from now on", said Ramsay.
More time went by, it was 8:50 PM, only an hour and ten minutes left till the end of service, and what Ramsay witnesses next pushed him passed his limit.
" WHAT THE F*CK RAINBOW DASH, COME HERE ALL OF YOU, RAINBOW BRING ZEPHYR HERE AS WELL", shouted Ramsay.
Rainbow Dash and Zephyr then entered the kitchen, and all eight red chefs then stood in front of Ramsay.
" For an athletic student Rainbow, you are a really clumsy twat, you have dropped a glass in the middle of the dining room, and not bothered to fix it or clean it, even a moron like you should know broken glass on the floor is a health hazard, once again you all disappoint me, get out all of you", said Chef Ramsay.
Once the eight chefs left, the blue team continued.
" There are still some orders on the red kitchen, I'll need some of you to fill that in", said Ramsay.
Another ten minutes go by, and only an hour remains of dinner service.
" Applejack, has all the customers given their orders", said Ramsay.
" Yes Chef", said Applejack.
" Good, now you can quit standing there and help your team, just because the red kitchen has left, doesn't mean you're safe, tell Maud to clean up the bar and help as well", said Ramsay.
Half an hour went by, and the blue team thought they could finish tonight's service successfully again, but they were wrong.
" Maud, come here", said Ramsay.
Maud approached Ramsay as he showed her what she made.
" Visually what's wrong with that", said Ramsay.
" It's still under cooked", said Maud.
" Correct, put it back in that pan, honestly", said Ramsay.
Only ten minutes remained into dinner service.
" BULK, YOU DID IT AGAIN", said Ramsay.
The team looked to see a perfectly cooked pizza.
" Cooking a perfectly cooked Pizza when it hasn't even been ordered, and I thought having Derpy with you, you could have better sense with an extra pair of hands, F*ck off upstairs", said Ramsay.
Bulk then did so, and then Ramsay told the team to switch everything off.
At 10:15 all the customers have left, and the 17 chefs lined up.
" Tonight was shit, I was hoping for a little improvement, but it didn't happen, Red team, you were defiantly crap, F*cked up over halfway towards service, leaving the blue team to clean up after you, and blue team, one of you, and I'm talking about you Bulk, was sent to the same station twice in a row, only to F*ck up, twice in a row, you were both shit, you've failed, so what I want you all to do, is make your way back to the dorms, and come up with four people, two from the red team, and two from the blue team, who you think should leave Tartarus Kitchen, now Piss off", said Ramsay.
The 17 chefs made their way back to their dorms, the red team was in the patio, while the blue team was in the kitchen.
The red team began discussing their nominees.
" Do we put it to a vote", said Pinkie Pie.
" First off, I like to discuss the elephant in the room, Rainbow Dash, you screwed up as a waiter", said Flash.
" It was just a couple of mistakes", said Rainbow Dash.
" You caused a hazard in the dining room, and didn't even bother to clean up", said Flash.
" I was going to, but then Chef Ramsay called me over", said Rainbow Dash.
" You could be a floor board sign warning the guests, they were just by the cupboard, you could've done that", said Flash.
" And it's not a debate who the second nominee is", said Micro Chips, looking at Vinyl.
" He's right, even a five year old would know the difference between pork chops and lamb chops", said Trixie.
" So all in favor of Rainbow Dash and Vinyl", said Flash, seven hands were raised.
Meanwhile the blue team were decided on their nominees.
" First off, all in favor of Bulk being nominated", said Wallflower, all eight hands were raised, much to Bulk's dismay.
" Sorry Bulk, but you messed up on the pizza's twice, even with Derpy's help you still couldn't do it", said Twilight.
" What about our second nominee", said Maud.
" One of those three", said Wallflower, pointing at Sunset, Rarity and Twilight.
" Excuse me", said Sunset.
" Yeah, you were slow on a risotto, Twilight messed up on a lamb chop, and Rarity threw away perfectly good carrots, that's wasting food", said Wallflower.
20 minutes later, the 17 chefs returned to the dining room, and lined up facing Ramsay.
" Flash, who is the red teams first nominee and why", said Ramsay.
" Our first nominee is Rainbow Dash, her disaster as waiter was what ended our teams service tonight, and she had caused a health hazard", said Flash.
" Health Hazard, Spot on, who is your second nominee", said Ramsay.
" Vinyl, her performance on the meat station tonight was embarrassing", said Flash.
" Okay, Wallflower, who is the blue teams first nominee tonight", said Ramsay.
" Bulk Biceps, he was put on the same station twice in two services, and he messed up on both of them", said Wallflower.
" Who is your second nominee", said Ramsay.
" Rarity, she has wasted a few perfectly good carrots for no reason", said Wallflower.
" Okay, Rainbow Dash, Vinyl, Bulk and Rarity, step forward", said Ramsay.
The four nominated chefs did so.
" Rainbow Dash, why should you stay in tartarus kitchen", said Ramsay.
" I may have made a simple mistake, but I was going to clean it up until I was called", said Rainbow Dash.
" You shouldn't have made that mess in the first place, this is what happens when you rush into things, if you're too slow like Sunset Shimmer on the Risotto, you waste time, and if you're too fast like Rainbow Dash, you F*ck up, Vinyl, why should you stay", said Ramsay.
Vinyl then took the time to write down her answer, and gave it to Ramsay.
I apologize for my mistakes, I wasn't thinking straight.
" Yeah, maybe next time you should either get more sleep, or stay focused, supposing there even is a next time for you, Bulk, why should you stay", said Ramsay.
" I make no excuses for my faults the last two services, and I hope to improve next time, on a different station maybe I'll do better at", said Bulk.
" I can't even trust you to cook a simple F*cking Pizza, how can I trust you on any other station, Rarity, why should you stay", said Ramsay.
" I wasn't checking properly on the carrots, and that was my mistake, I may have wasted a few carrots, but at least I didn't cause a health hazard or mess up on the same station Twice in a row", said Rarity.
" Bitch", muttered Rainbow Dash.
" What was that Rainbow, if you have something to say, then say it, and not be a coward and mumble it", said Ramsay.
" Rarity's a bitch, there I said it", said Rainbow Dash, much to the shock of the others.
" Why am I a bitch", said Rarity.
" You know your own mistakes, which are just as bad as mine, and yet you're trying to throw me and Bulk under the bus", said Rainbow Dash.
" Well, I think I've heard enough, my decision is made...
...
...
...
...
.. Vinyl", said Ramsay.
Sighing, Vinyl took off her Jacket.
" Back in line", said Ramsay, much to the surprise of Vinyl, she put her jacket back on and rejoined her team.
" Rarity, back in line", he continued, Rarity did so, leaving Rainbow Dash and Bulk.
" The person leaving Tartarus Kitchen, is...
...
...
...
...
.. Bulk", said Ramsay.
Sighing defeatedly, Bulk Biceps took off his jacket and handed it to Ramsay.
" You may be very strong and energetic, but I hoped you'd learn your mistakes, sadly you didn't, goodnight", said Ramsay.
Bulk then made it way out of tartarus kitchen, just like Sandalwood did two days ago.
Bulk's Final Comment, " I knew this was going to happen, after being put on the same station twice, and failing twice despite having help, I failed the team, I guess I'll go back to doing what I love best, sports".
Ramsay then turned to the remaining sixteen chefs.
" 2 down, 16 left, I have nothing else to say but back to your dorms", said Ramsay.
The sixteen chefs did so, while Ramsay headed to his office and hung Bulk's jacket next to Sandalwood.
Ramsay's Final Comment, " After his foolish mistake on the pizza station the first time, I gave him another chance on that station, with a bit of help, only for him for F*ck it up the second time, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".
17th Place: Bulk Biceps.
16 Chefs remain.
And that's it for now, 16 chefs left, 8 on each team, it gets more intense on future chapters, until next time, that's all for now.
