*********************************

Unknown POV (For now):

I move about the kitchen supplied for me, slicing and dicing with grace. I know I'm showing off, but I need to be in one of the higher troops. I need to get the chance to stop this stupid war. When I came to the base, I had been showed to this kitchen and told to make the best dish I could. So I am, one thing I learned from Chase, fried rice.

I remember the wild and outrageous kid well. I remember his little sister too, the one who went through so much pain when her brother and father disappeared. She was always so cheery and bright, something that attracted me like nothing else. But I kept that to myself; what would the spontaneous Chase say if I ever told him that I had a crush on his baby sister? Even after I left to go off on my training alone, I still met up with them a few more times before completely loosing contact with them. I wonder what they're all up to now? Yes, I remember everything well from 10 years ago.

I shake my head, clearing it of any thoughts. I have to keep my mind focused on my food dish or else I'll be thrown into a lower rank. I put all my work into this fried rice, so that when I finish it, the dish looks picture perfect. With a smug grin, I present it to the man I assumed to be the commander, "All finished." I watch and wait for him to try it, but I become shocked when he waved to a platoon chef stationed at the door.

"Go and fetch the setter." He states sternly. The man nods and runs out of the room at top speed. I'm interested that they hold such a rare person in their cards, but as the idea works its way into my head, I realize that it's obvious the rebel head base would have one. I wonder what the guy will look like and if he has any real taste buds.

The minutes fly by so quick that I am jolted from my thoughts when the door creaks open. In steps what I believe to be a vision of beauty. Before me stands a young woman with long aqua hair pulled back into two buns on the side of her head and deep red-amber eyes. She's dressed in a simple yellow shirt with pink ribbon-like straps over her shoulders that hug her waist, a black, short, loose, skirt and matching black shoes with ribbons wrapped around her shins. A true vision of beauty, she is, but she also reminds me of Kayla in some haunting way.

She turns to her superior without taking even a glance at me. In some way, I feel hurt by her rejection, but push the feeling deep within me, "You called for me, sir?" Her voice sounds like wind chimes tinkering together.

"Yes I did," He motions to me, "We have a new chef here for you to rank."

It is then that she looks at me. I turn away but I can feel her eyes studying me carefully, "What did you cook?" I hear her say to me.

With one of my coy smiles, I answer her, "Why, fried rice." I watch as she looks at my dish and her eyes become sad, almost tearful. I frown, thinking there is something wrong with it, but she steps up, picking up the spoon and takes a bit.

My heart stops for a minute as she seems to be contemplating the dish. In some ways, she seems to like and in others, she seems confused about something. Finally, she speaks, "This is a very good dish you have here. I would say he belongs in the head chef squad." She says, refusing to even look in my direction.

For a moment, I forget the vision in front of me and smile to myself. My goal has been reached, I can now fight the battle I had always wanted to. I realize the beauty has quickly vanished from the room, and that upsets me. I turn to the commander and await his orders, "It seems you have good skills. Why don't you go down to the scientific lab to get your Foodons looked at. It's straight down this hall."

I salute, "Yes sir, thank you." I turned and leave the room, thinking about the mysterious girl. I follow the hall down to very end where I find a very large metal door. I see that there is a small panel next to it so I press the only button on it and the door opens with a silent swish.

Inside, I see no one but there are the faint sounds of bubbling, whirling and snapping. Probably from all the machines around the lab. Just as I think the room is empty, a blur of black and white shoots by me. Following it, I discover a figure hunched over a computer. He must have heard my footsteps for he began to speak, "You must be a new chef. Just give me your Foodons and I'll run a quick scan on them, to see that they're in the best health." He sounds young, maybe 16?

"Sure." I reply coolly and pull them out of my pocket. The kid turns around and I find myself staring at a large panda?! No, it's a kid wearing a Chinese black and white outfit with a matching hat that has panda ears attached. I recognize this kid, "Pie-tin?!" I exclaim.

He looks up at me and seems clueless for a moment before shouting, "Albert?!" It takes me a moment to register that if this was Pie-tin, then the girl who I saw earlier was Kayla. Dropping my meal tickets, I turn on my heel and run out of the room, dead-set on finding the girl.

Dun, dun, dun! What will happen now? And where have I thrown Chase?
