"Good afternoon there Jay, how was your breakfast?"
Akeno asked as I entered my kitchen. She wore an apron over her uniform as she placed a tray of brownies into the oven.
"It was-"
I felt a hand grab my butt. I looked to my right to see Morrigan as she entered the kitchen. She walked over to the table and grabbed a chocolate chip cookie Akeno had made before having a seat.
"It was deliciously good, thanks you two" I said, leaning against the wall.
Morrigan hit me with a wink as she chewed on the cookie.
"Well I'm glad you liked it" Akeno said with a smile.
So, should we be heading to the school?" I took a seat beside Morrigan and snacked on the cookies.
"Yeah, just after Akeno finishes her deserts she cooked for your parents" Morrigan replied.
"Alright, say, if we win this cookoff and the prize-"
"I decided I'd let you have the Morphonite" Morrigan said.
"I thought you couldnt read minds?" I asked with my eyes squinted.
Morrigan smiled. "I dont have a use for it anyway. It's really the same power I posess in my wings. I figured you'd want it for your suit"
"Thanks bae cuz God knows I do" I replied.
Morrigan smirked.
DING!
"Well the brownies are done" we heard Akeno say.
Hearing the timer reminded me to check my phone. It was 2:47PM.
"Well then, let's go and meet the rest of the girls" said Morrigan as she arose from the table.
I grabbed the last of the cookies and placed them in a sandwich bag.
"They're 'deliciously good' arent they?" I heard Akeno say as she hung the apron on the side of the fridge.
I chuckled. "Definitely"
Akeno, Morrigan and I met up with the rest of my presidents' cabinet. We and the girls headed for the fields behind the school in which the Cookoff was being prepped. The area was full of students and parents, along with teachers and security. The stage was placed at the far end of the football field in front of us. I noticed people were beginning to take their seats and I turned to Rochella.
"Hey, Rochella where are we sitting?" I asked.
"All cabinets and presidents have front row seats. Lets hurry and find ours" she replied.
We found an open row and we all wished Akeno good luck.
"Thanks you all, I'll do my best"
"You've already won" Rochella smirked, assuring Akeno of her victory.
Akeno smiled back at us as she headed up the stage to ready up.
Morrigan and I took our seats.
"Where were you two today?" Rochella asked.
"Home asleep" Morrigan and I simultaneously replied. We exchanged glances.
"Must have had a rough night" Rochella smiled.
Morrigan smirked.
"My interpretation of that is skin on skin contact, ahem, sexual that is, which I'm sure is what you mean, though fighting our way out of a secret government base is the real meaning of the 'rough night' we had" I exclaimed.
"Wow, I see" Rochella replied.
Morrigan whispered in my ear.
"We might just have 'one of those' tonight" she smirked at me.
"Nah I'm alright" I replied.
Morrigan smiled, "Oh, dont lie"
I smirked and turned my attention upstage.
The principal walked onstage and turned on the mike.
"Mike check.1, 2. Mike check. 1, 2"
Now everyone were in their seats and the racket of everyone speaking began to decrease.
"Goodevening and welcome everyone, I, the prinicipal of Washington High School, Mr. Harrison will be your host for todays show. We've gathered a unique individual from each Class Presidents cabinet thats passed a eligibity test to participate in todays game. Today eight cabinet members will be cooking fine dishes as they compete for a chance to win a special prize which will be shown at the end of our event. With that said, lets get to know our participants"
The crowd cheered from all around the field. The curtains were pulled apart which revealed all eight participants as they stood behind fancy countertops with their built-in stoves. Rochella and the girls cheered for Akeno.
I spotted Akeno and she waved at us. She was wearing another apron. This one was black unlike my moms. Mr. Harrison then confronted the first cook.
The crowd grew quiet as the principle spoke.
"Starting with cook one, whats your name?"
A guy with sandy brown hair stood before Mr. Harrison.
"Dylan Meyers" the guy responded.
People cheered as Mr. Harrison moved to the next cook.
Cook two was a short girl with black hair.
"Your name young lady?" The man asked.
"Alice Wondalf"
"Talbain is here" I heard from beside me.
I turned to Morrigan. "Huh?"
"Look, on top of the school" she replied.
I turned and looked towards the school roof and there was Tabain, watching from above.
"Whats he doing here?" I asked.
"The food, must be" she said. "Akeno's next up"
I watched as Mr. Harrison walked over to Akeno.
"And you are?"
"Akeno Yuuki, sir" she responded.
The girls cheered again.
"Let's goo Akenoo!" I yelled.
Mr. Harrison turned back to the audience.
"Now for the rules, all eight contestants will be given a specific dish to prepare. Thing is, it has to be cooked under a good 90 minutes and cooked WELL. There will be three rounds at the end of each, judges will judge. The scores range from seventy to one hundred. The two people who earn the lowest score will be eliminated. So cooks, cook your best and lets get started!"
The field grew ecstatic with cheers and claps.
Throughout the first round, Akeno scored in the the top three, eliminated were contestants Frederick Thomas and Tonya Sulllivan. Second round, things grew a bit more intense, the cooks were asked to prepare a meatlovers deep dish pizza in under 80 minutes from scratch. Akeno made second place as Dylan and participant Sabrina were eliminated.
We were now in round three. Akeno and the last three cooks were to prepare Egg Fu Yong. They were in the last ten minutes.
"I've never even had that before" I said.
"Neither have I, say, why dont we go to a chinese place after this?" Morrigan insisted.
"Alright, I have to polish up my skills with chop sticks anyway"
Morrigan chuckled, "So do I"
"Times Up!" Mr. Harrison yelled. All four cooks rested their hands by their sides.
I looked back to the roof, Talbain was gone.
I wonder where he went off to now
The judges gave cook 6, Tashay Jones, a score of 99 on her plate.
"No, she can't win" Julia said. The girls were looking anxious...even the green haired girl next to me.
Damn, the Morphonite, I thought
Next, the judges awarded cook number three, Gloria Vine a score of ninety-one.
I had to admit I was hoping Akeno would win despite the Morphonite. I was becoming anxious myself.
The judges moved on to Akeno, they all had a serving of her dish. The crowds were as quiet as a mouse. The judges took a moment to discuss what they'd agree to give Akeno.
Mr. Harrison walked over to them and talked with the judges before walkong back to face the audience.
"The judges have made their decision" Mr. Harrison stated. "Akeno's dish has been awarded with a score of..."
"Shit! Babe?!" I looked down to see Morrigan squeezing my hand.
She immediately loosened her grip. I looked at my hand that was now throbbing red.
"I'm sorry" she said. "Too eager huh?"
"Yeah" I replied.
Mr. Harrison looked at the card in his hand. "ONE HUNDRED!"
Morrigans' cabinet jumped out there seats screaming in joy. The crowd cheered louder than before. Morrigan and I stood and clapped.
Mr. Harrison brung Akeno up to the front of the stage. "Everyone! Your winner- AKENO YUUKIII!
The people roared across the field.
"Now for the grand prize. Please president of Akeno's cabinet, come up stage"
"Glad I dressed for this" Morrigan said as she arose out her seat. "Come with me"
I followed my girlfriend to the stage. The crowd continued to clap. I stood by the stairs as Morrigan walked across the stage to stand beside Akeno and the principal.
"Miss your name?" Mr. Harrison asked the green haired succubus.
"Morrigan Aensland"
"Morrigan, thanks to your cabinet member here, you've been awarded with the grand prize" Mr. Harrison stated.
Suddenly a pillar elevated from the floor of the stage.
Mr. Harrison opened a box on the pillar. In his hands was the source that would make me practically in-fucking-vincible.
"BOOM!"
Just then gun shots filled the air. Everyone panicked and began to cause a huge commotion as people started withdrawing the stadium. Smoke filled the stage and I took my chance. I clicked the two buttons on my metal wristbands and became Sufuge.
I switched my visor to infrared mode and scanned the stage. Morrigan and Akeno vanished. In the smoke was a short figure with an item at its side. I switched the camera back to its default as the smoke cleared.
Standing on stage was her. Baby Bonnie Hood. She had an uzi aimed at Mr. Harrison.
"Hand it over chump" Bonnie said.
I walked in between the two as the smoke faded out.
"Aren't you supposed to be at your grannys house?" I said as I prepared a hand beam.
"You again?!" Bonnie asked infuriated. "And no, you're supposed to be dead"
"Am I?" I asked.
"Good question, lets find out"
"Let's!" I yelled. Then i blasted off to lure Bonnie from the school.
Bonnie then reached in her picnic basket and pulled out a rocket launcher.
"Since I cant fly, I have something that can!" She yelled.
She pulled the trigger and then just like that, i had a missile on my ass.
Damn, okay Jay, think
I looked back to see the distance I had. Enough. I turned back around and my mouth dropped. This bitch sent another missile at me. Shit! I jutted to the left and headed high in the sky. I checked the distance on the two missiles. They were coming from my left and right.
You know what...
I hovered in the air and chose to play with death. The missiles were only a few feet away.
Come on, come on
I started to count down.
"Five...Four...Three...Two...ONE!"
At one, I sonic boomed backwards and thanks to my excellent thinking, the two missiles collided into each other.
Now, back to this bitch
I flew full speed back to the school.
As i grew closer I could see Morrigans soul fist and hear gunfire.
No way I'm risking her being shot...
I sonic boomed towards the stage and swooped down to scoop up Baby Bonnie Hood by her ankles. I flew towards the nearest lake or river.
Theres one
Suddenly I felt something hit my chest.
I looked down and seen Bonnie wielding a samurai sword as she tried piercing through my medal suit.
For some reason I grew pissed. I then spinned through the air and launched Bonnie into the lake below. As she fell from the sky, I let out two hand beams and watched as they trailed after the psychopath.
I turned back towards the school and sonic boomed off.
I landed back onto the stage. The bleachers were empty and police sirens filled the air. I then spotted Morrigan in her regular clothes as she walked onto the stage. She walked up to me.
"Are you alright?" She asked. Her hand ran across the scratch marks Bonnie had placed on my chest.
"Yeah...never better. Werent you in your other form a few minutes ago?"
She smiled. "Yeah, but I transformed after you grabbed Bonnie Hood. I didnt want to attract too much attention"
"Oh, well how about that Morphonite?"
She grabbed my hand and pulled me behind the curtain.
"Change back" she said.
I powered off my suit and it was back at my wrists.
"Alright, hold out your hands" she said.
I did so and she jumped in my arms and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"What are we doing?" I asked.
"Just follow my lead, walk to the back of the stage, the principal's there with Akeno and the morphonite"
"Alright" I headed off the stage and walked towards the back.
I came around the corner and there was Akeno and Mr. Harrison.
"Oh my, are you two ok?" Akeno asked. Morrigan began to cough.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied.
"Jay" Morrigan coughed. "The morphonite"
Akeno looked at Morrigan and back at me. She then knew and ran over to the principal who was on the phone speaking to his wife.
"Mr. Harrison, the morphonite?" Akeno asked.
"I love you too, alright bye. Here you are" The principal handed Akeno her prize. He noticed Morrigan coughing in my arms. "Oh my goodness is she okay?"
"The smoke got in her chest" I replied.
"Hold on, let me call for an ambulance" Mr. Harrison said as he turned around to dial on his phone.
Morrigan then dropped to her feet, and we all made a break for it.
Akeno, Morrigan and I made it back to my house with the cabinet and we all sat on my back patio. The sky was turning purple as the day grew into night. The lights turned on over us. We sat around a table of food, deserts and drinks as we all talked about todays events.
Morrigan ate a slice of Akeno's upside down pineapple cake. I munched on a hot and cheesy italian beef.
"Yeah and I heard the school is going to be closed down for now, looks like summer break is already here!" Amy said happily.
"Really?" I asked.
"Here, taste it" Morrigan said as she fed me a piece of her cake.
"Yeah, it's true" Nina replied. "Time for jacuzzi's and parties"
"We'll be having plenty of those, President are you coming?" Julia asked.
"Parties? I would love to, though me and Jay have to pay someone a visit" Morrigan replied.
"Who?" Amy asked curiously.
"Some Vampire that wants me dead" I replied.
"Sounds unfortunate, but don't fret, my friends and I wouldnt let anyone come at you two that way" Akeno smiled.
"Took the words right out of my mouth" Rochella said.
"My, we appreciate it" Morrigan said.
"You know what else I appreciate?"
Morrigan smirked. "And whats that?"
I pulled out a grey diamond out my pocket. I flicked open my hand as the morphonite spinned as it floated above it.
Morrigan smiled and shook her head.
"Well, that was splendid, we will be heading home now President" Rochella said.
The girls had cleaned up and left out the back gate. Now Morrigan and I lied in my hammock.
Morrigan yawned and rested her arm across my chest as she snuggled up beside me. "Mmm, Im sleepy"
I stared at the stars in the sky. "I am too, we might have to go for the Chinese some other time huh?"
I didnt get a reply. I looked at Morrigan. She was fast asleep.
I sighed. Fuck it, why not, I wrapped my arms around Morrigan and closed my eyes.
