Hello again, and here is chapter 6 of Tartarus Kitchen.
Recap: Previously, the 14 chefs did an international cuisine challenge, where both teams had to do 7 dishes each, based on 7 countries, they each had to make a Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Mexican and French, and it was the blue team that won the reward, during service, the blue team failed, and were at risk.
In the elimination ceremony, the blue team nominated Sunset and Rarity for elimination, and it was Rarity who was Eliminated, ending her time in Tartarus kitchen.
13 chefs remain.
The 13 chefs lined up in the dining room, facing Ramsay.
" Well, after ten days and five services, we have our bakers dozen, some of you have worked really well to earn that spot in the rank, however, today things are going to be a little different, for example, Tarturus kitchen is going to be closed for a few days, there won't be another service, but there will be an elimination, tonight, one of you will leave, and our bakers dozen will become our actual dozen", said Ramsay.
That got everyone's attention, and some began to go nervous.
" I want both teams to come up with three nominations each, that's six in total, six of the weakest chef, out of the remaining thirteen chefs, nominated for elimination tonight, one of them will be going home", said Ramsay.
The thirteen chefs then headed back to their dorms, and began talking it out.
The red team was in the patio, talking out their three nominees.
" So, out of the seven of us, how many times have we been nominated throughout the five services", said Micro Chips.
" I didn't get nominated", said Applejack.
" Me neither", said Pinkie.
" I was only nominated once", said Rainbow Dash.
" Me too", said Fluttershy.
" Me three", said Big Mac.
And Vinyl also held out one finger, saying she was nominated once.
" And I wasn't nominated, so as Applejack, Pinkie and I didn't get nominated, I think it's logical we put up either Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Big Mac or Vinyl", said Micro Chips.
" Sounds fair", said Applejack.
" What, how is that fair", said Rainbow Dash.
" We're looking for the three weakest chefs in our overall time here, and so far I have been a valuable asset to both teams", said Applejack.
" And Pinkie and I messed up the least, over wise we would've been called up, which leaves you four, but we need three so we can spare one of you", said Micro Chips.
" Do we just decide by chance, like rock, paper scissors or something", said Pinkie Pie.
" I don't think Ramsay will allow that, we should just go through everything the last five services, and nominate the three who have shown the least amount of effort, now I only just been on this team for one service, so I won't know much about you guys", said Applejack.
Meanwhile, the blue team was in the lounge, deciding their three.
" So we've decided the first two nominees are Sunset and Zephyr, so that still leaves us with one", said Wallflower.
" Since when did we decide that", said Sunset.
" So far you two have been nominated over the past five services, meanwhile the rest of us haven't", said Wallflower.
" Well then who will be our third nominee then, since the rest of us haven't been nominated", said Maud.
" There's me, Maud, Wallflower and Derpy, who do we pick", said Twilight.
" Not me, I've done all five primary stations and nailed them, I've done a better job than you, Maud and Derpy put together", said Wallflower.
" That's a bit of an exaggeration", said Sunset.
" Yeah, you may be great at cooking, but the attitude at the moment is not as great as your cooking, and you keep it up, it could get you eliminated", said Maud.
Half an hour later, both teams lined up, faced Ramsay, their decisions have been made.
" Applejack, red teams first nominee and why", said Ramsay.
" Vinyl, at first it was a tough decision when all of our other dead weights are already gone, we chose her based on her making more mistakes during service, wasting food, messing up on the meat station", said Applejack.
" Okay, second nominee and why", said Ramsay.
" Fluttershy, despite having great services from her, we believe she's not that confident enough to be a head chef", said Applejack.
" And third nominee and why", said Ramsay.
" Big Mac, even though he started out great at the first service, he only began slowing us down further and further one service after another", said Applejack.
" Alright, Wallflower, blue teams first nominee and why", said Ramsay.
" Zephyr Breeze, we felt that he was hardly trying on any of the main stations, he only did the meat station for the primary stations, also after last night's service, it'd be better we didn't have pervert as a head chef", said Wallflower.
" Who is your second nominee", said Ramsay.
" Sunset, because our first suggestion was to put up whose already been nominated which was Sunset and Zephyr for our team so far, and she too has messed up on her station, mostly the meat and fish", said Wallflower.
" And who is your third nominee", said Ramsay.
" Twilight, we believed that out of the remaining four of us, me, Derpy and Maud were the top three best in this team over the past five services, while she wasn't", said Wallflower.
" Okay, Fluttershy, Vinyl, Big Mac, Twilight, Sunset and Zephyr, step forward", said Ramsay.
The six chosen chefs did so.
" There is no need to tell me your reasons why you should stay, because my decision is made", said Ramsay.
The six chefs stood nervously.
" The person, leaving tartarus kitchen, tonight, is...
...
...
...
...
.. Whoever makes the least best dish in today's challenge", said Ramsay.
The six chefs looked at him in surprise.
" Did you really think I'd kick you out without giving you a chance to prove yourself, we'll today you'll be doing a challenge called cook for your life, you'll have 30 minutes to present your best dish, the top five who present the best dish will get to stay, and the chef with the worst dish of the six will leave Tartarus kitchen", said Ramsay.
" Even better, which ever chef presents the best dish of them all, will get a very special reward", said Ramsay.
He then looked at his watch.
" Whether you're ready or not, you're 30 minutes begin, now", said Ramsay.
The time began, and Big Mac, Fluttershy, Vinyl, Sunset, Twilight and Zephyr began preparing their dishes, gathering the needed ingredients, prepping them, and cooking them.
It was like the signature dish challenge, they could make anything, only this time, they must make an amazing dish to stay in Tartarus kitchen.
Zephyr knew he has to do better than his mess up in the signature dish challenge, if he fails, it's all over.
Half an hour went by, and the time was up.
One by one, each chef presented their dish to Ramsay, in the red team, Big Mac presented a steak, Vinyl presented a creamed chicken and pasta bake, and Fluttershy presented a lasagna.
In the blue team, Sunset presented a deep fried cod, Twilight presented a lamb chop, and Zephyr presented a fried chicken.
After trying out each dish, Ramsay turned to the chefs.
" I'll be in my office, about to make my decision, I'll be ready to call you in half an hour", said Ramsay.
Big Mac, Twilight, Sunset, Vinyl, Fluttershy and Zephyr waited anxiously in the dorms, while the others tried to console them, but it was no use, in a few minutes one of them will be leaving.
The phone then rang, and Wallflower answered it.
" Hello", said Wallflower.
" Wallflower, I have made my decision, get everybody to the dining room right away", said Ramsay.
" Okay", said Wallflower, hanging up, and turned to the others.
" Guys, he made his choice, he want's us to the dining room right now", said Wallflower.
One by one, each chef entered the dining room, they all lined up, and faced Ramsay.
" It was a tough decision to make, and it's not time to see through it, Big Mac, Fluttershy, Vinyl, Zephyr, Sunset and Twilight, step forward", said Ramsay.
The six chosen chefs nervously stepped forward.
" It was a tough decision to make, ranking all six dishes from best to worst, before I decide who leaves tartarus kitchen, I'm going to reveal the two chefs, one from each team, who made the best dish, starting with the red team, the chef who made the best dish from the red team, is...
...
...
...
...
... Fluttershy", said Ramsay.
The others applaud as Fluttershy blushed.
" Well done Fluttershy, you're safe for now, but stay where you are, I need to reveal the best from the blue team, the chef who presented the best dish from the blue team, is...
...
...
...
...
... Zephyr".
Everyone grew surprised at this, and they decided to give Zephyr the applause since Ramsay decided.
" Well, Zephyr and Fluttershy, the two siblings who made the top two best dishes in the cook for your life, but one of you made the best dish of them all, and congratulations...
...
...
...
...
...
.. Fluttershy", said Ramsay.
" Thank you", said Fluttershy, blushing.
" As you made the best dish, as I said earlier, you've earned a very special reward, it's called a punishment pass, with it, the next time your team fails a team challenge, and faces punishment, you can use the pass to avoid the punishment and join the winning team on their reward, however, you can only use it once, but you also get to choose when you want to use it", said Ramsay.
" Thank you", said Fluttershy as her team applaud to her.
" Now as you two are safe from elimination, for now, you may join your team again", said Ramsay.
The two did so, which left only Big Mac, Vinyl, Sunset and Twilight.
" Well, only four left, it's time decide the least best dishes from each team, for the red team, the chef to present the worst dish is...
...
...
...
...
.. Vinyl, which means Big Mac, you're still in the competition, back in line", said Ramsay.
Big Mac did so, while Vinyl stood nervously, Ramsay then turned to Twilight and Sunset.
" Twilight, Sunset, one of you two made the worst dish for the blue team, and I can reveal, that the chef who did so, is...
...
...
...
...
...
.. Twilight, which mean Sunset, you're still in it to win it, back in line", said Ramsay.
Sunset did so, wishing Twilight the best of luck, Vinyl and Twilight stood nervously knowing for one of them, their time in tartarus kitchen is up.
" Well, Twilight, Vinyl, do you both want to stay", said Ramsay.
" Yes", said Twilight while Vinyl nodded.
" Do any of you give up, and want to go home", said Ramsay.
" No", said Twilight while Vinyl shook her head.
" Alright, one of you made the worst dish of the challenge, and will be leaving immediately, the person, leaving tartarus kitchen is...
...
...
...
...
...
... Twilight, give me your jacket", said Ramsay.
Twilight sighed sadly as she removed her jacket, and gave it to chef Ramsay.
" It would've been worth keeping you longer, but sadly, this is where your journey ends, good luck", said Ramsay.
" Thanks, goodbye everyone", said Twilight as she walked out the door and left tartarus kitchen.
Twilight's final comment, " Wow, after nearly two weeks I got eliminated, I hoped I would've lasted longer, but this isn't a game, I guess if I did a better job in the services, I would have no reason to be in the cook for your life challenge, all I can say now is good luck to everyone else".
Ramsay then turned to Vinyl.
" Back in line", said Ramsay.
Vinyl did so.
" Hang on, there's seven from the red team, five from the blue team, red team, I want you to decide who you want to leave your team to help the blue team", said Ramsay.
The seven huddled up, and they then made their decision.
" Who have you chosen", said Ramsay.
Vinyl raised her hand as she stepped forward.
" Okay then, step back forward and take off your jacket", said Ramsay.
Vinyl did so, removing her red jacket and gave it to Ramsay.
" You're now a member of blue team, put this on, and now you can get back in line", said Ramsay.
Vinyl do so, putting on her new and rejoining the group.
" Well, that's it for now, everyone enjoy the rest of your day, the top twelve, as you are the top twelve, you'll definitely be cooking in the final service, either as supporting chef, or as one of two competing chefs", said Ramsay.
As the twelve chefs headed back to their dorms, Ramsay headed to his office, hanging Twilight's jacket.
Ramsay's final comment, " Twilight is a really intelligent woman, and I respect that, however, I'm looking for someone who has confidence to be a head chef, and she doesn't have that, therefore, it is her time in Tartarus kitchen that has ended".
13th place: Twilight Sparkle.
And Twilight's elimination makes six, after Rarity, and Trixie, and Flash and Bulk and Sandalwood, only 12 remain, from the red team there's Big Mac, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Micro Chips and Rainbow Dash, and from the blue team, there's Sunset, Wallflower, Maud, Zephyr, Vinyl and Derpy.
Until next time that's all for now.
