Thank... -gets robbed by Kratos- Oh well. Anyway, update your fantastic, brilliant, amazing fic soon... I can't wait much longer. Don't make me send some evil person. Like The Wonder Chef.

In the land of summon spirits...

Gnome: So, anyone up for chess?

Undine: Chess? That's so lame.

Gnome: Not as lame as your outfit.

Undine: Says the Summon who speaks like a 5 year old! Not to mention the thing you have on your head.

Gnome: Hey!

Efreet: I AM NOT YELLING!

Gnome: Sigh. I need a candy bar.

Shadow: Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Gnome: Oh man. Make that two.


Kratos sank down on the couch. He sighed and threw a wig across the room. It landed perfectly in a box containing clothes gone out of fashion 1000 years ago.

He bent down and took out a book from the shelf under the table, and leaned back as he read.

"Hmm, it starts in a month..." He mumbled quietly to himself, as he looked around the room. Good thing he'd never sold his Meltokio hideout from back in the days. 1000 years ago, when he still used to party all night long and never felt the motivation to actually fly all the way home, he just used the place to hang out.

Many were the girls he had brought th.. Actually, besides himself only Yuan and Mithos knew about the place, and Mithos was gone. Said he'd leave Earth to search for new lifeforms, and so he did. Kratos sighed. Anna had been gone for a long time, and maybe it was time to search for someone new.

"I need to brush up on my pickup-lines... Hey there, darling! Your clothes would look amazing in a pile next to mine!"

He slapped himself. Twice. What was he thinking? He had Raine! But love from afar isn't always the easiest thing.

After twelve seconds of self-pity, Kratos closed the book and placed it back on the shelf.

The place was dusty, everytime he took a breath he stirred up dozens of small dust particles that swirled around in the room, making his vision somewhat blurry.

"Well, I've been postponing this for too long..." He said and got on his feet. He walked over to the mentioned box and started to dig around in it. Eventually he stopped, when he found what he was looking for.

"Ah, I haven't seen these for a long time!" He pulled out a white skirt with a matching shirt and a small cap with the label 'Abandon Inc'. He put on the skirt over his pants, and placed the little cap on his head.

He looked in the mirror, but saw nothing since it was covered in dust. Using the tip of his finger, he removed a part of it, and nearly got a heart attack when he saw himself. He quickly turned around, placed his back against the mirror and breathed heavily.

"Oh my god. That's just...ugly." He removed the clothes again, and dug out another outfit from the box. Black leather pants, with a matching vest.

Any man with even the slightest amount of self-preservation would never...

"YES!"

Kratos did a dance on the floor, using the leather pants as his lady.

"I can't believe this!" He dug deeper into the box, thrilled like a child on his birthday to find all the outfits he hadn't seen for so long. He took on the pants.

He turned around, and attempted to walk away. But he couldn't. His blackleatherpants was stuck in the wall. They had mysteriously attached themselves to a small hole in the wall, and now he couldn't get loose.

His sword was out of reach. He tried to tear the leg off his pants, but with no luck.

"Shouldn't have stopped working out when the world was saved..." He said and sighed. "When I suddenly couldn't lift the milk-packages anymore, I should have known something was wrong..."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Kratos' blood froze. Oh no. His pants was stuck in a hole in the wall, and it might be someone really important.

Well, when he thought about it, it had to be Yuan, since only he knew about the place. Unless Mithos had returned from his space journey, but that was highly unlikely. He brought supplies for 250 years and only two had passed.

"Kratos, let me in!" Yuan yelled, pounding the door. "I know you're in there!"

Kratos tried to wriggle himself loose, but with no success. It ended with him grabbing the piece of his pants that was stuck, placing his feet on the wall and pushing backwards while moaning high.

"Kratos, what the hell are you doing? Who's there with you?"

"AAAAAAAH!" Kratos exclaimed loudly, pulling as hard as he could to free himself from the wall. "Aaaaah, I'm coming!"

"What the..." Yuan had heard enough. What on earth was going on in there?

He took a step back and kicked the door open, sending pieces of wood flying everywhere. In the same second, Kratos freed himself. But the wall didn't satisfy with the piece it had already taken, instead it ripped offwhat was left ofhis pants.

Kratos growled. So there he stood, Kratos Aurion, half naked with his back towards the door while moaning happily.

Yuan nearly fainted.

"KRATOS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" He roared and threw a shoe on Kratos auburn-haired head.

Kratos turned around and said: "Oh, hi Yuan. I got..."

"AAAH! YOU HAVE NO PANTS! Don't turn this way, idiot! "

"Oh, I can explain..."

"Where is she!"

"Where is who?"

"The girl!"

"What girl?"

"The girl you were having...You know. Some happy moments with... Some happily doppily funnily..."

"There's no girl in here, I..."

"You cheated on Raine, Kratos! I'll tell her, and she'll spank you!"

"How did you kno- I mean, no she won't! There is no girl, my pants just got..."

"...mysteriously stuck in the wall, and they just FELL APART when you tried to pull them out? HA!" Yuan stomped with his foot, intensly staring on a poster on the wall. "Come up with a better excuse next time!"

"Well, that's actually exactly how it happened..."

"Yeah, right. Whatever.Just get some clothes on, please. You've scarred me for life, Kratos!"

"I'm sorry, but..."

"Don't talk! Aaaaaaah, the visions!" Yuan threm himself behind the couch and started to shake violently.

"Relax, I have pants now." Kratos took of his 'Abandon Inc' cap.

Yuan rose to his feet. "Good, good. Just don't ever do that to me again."

"I won't. Unless my pants do get attached to the wall ag-"

"-Can we talk about something else? Thank you. We need to talk business."

"About our band?"

Yuan placed himself on the edge of the couch.

"Yes. Regal is an idiot. He's the most stupid person I have ever met. You included.He hasn't given any valuable information about Lloyd's band yet."

"All my attempts of stopping them has been fruitless as well." Kratos scratched his head while walking back and forth on the floor.

"They are our rivals, Kratos. We must make sure they don't steal our fans."

"I have a perfect idea. We can sue them." Kratos smirked.

"Sue them? Why?"

"They are using songs I wrote. We could sue them for... Un-allowed Song Usage?"

"It is a marvelous plan! You are a genius, Kratos!" Yuan giggled like a girl while jumping up and down on the couch. "They can never survive a scandal like that. Their career will be ruined! MWAHAHAHA! More money for us!"

Kratos joined in on the sinister laughter. He liked everyone in The Chosen, and he felt quite bad to destroy for Lloyd and Raine, but life's hard. Gah, who was he fooling? He couldn't care less for them if he got more money!

"Why did you send songs to them?" Yuan asked, frowning his forehead.

"Well, I usually mail stuff to myself. Lloyd must've gotten them."

"You mail stuff to yourself?" Yuan laughed. "Why?"

"Opening letters is fun. And you never know what you're going to get."

"Of course you do! You mail stuff to yourself! How can you NOT know what you're going to get?"

"Hmm, I guess I've never thought of that before."

Yuan sweatdropped.

"We must meet with Magnius and Forcystus." He said. "We have a huge tour planned, it will start in a month."

"Great!" Kratos smiled. "Cruxis Camels on tour again!"

Yuan sighed.

"Oh god. What do we have to do with Cruxis? Those days are gone! And camels! CAMELS? Haha, our name must be the worst ever. Who even thought of it?"

"Well, you did."

"Aw. I must have been drunk." Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Yes, you were."

"Did I do my table-dance with the hand gestures and singing while imitating the Golden Banana?"

"Yes. Twice."

"Oh crap. Must've been the days when I lived by my golden rule."

"What was that rule again?"

"Avoid all hangovers- just stay drunk."

"Clever. Really clever"


"This is good!" Colette exclaimed, giggling as she looked out through the small hole in the closet door. "The guy who was in here has left."

Sheena who had been on the verge of falling asleep awoke, shook her head and pushed Colette away from the hole.

"Hmm, you're right. We should seize the opportunity."

"Let's go then" Lloyd added and pushed the door open. The girls had been correct, the Wondermobile was empty. "Sheena, you go ahead and start it."

"Sure" Sheena headed to the driver's space. "Oh, guys..."

Lloyd turned his head.

"Yes?"

"You might want to take a look out the window." Sheena disappeared again to try to start the vechile.

Lloyd jumped up on the couch and placed his face against the window.

"What the... I can't see anything."

"Um, Lloyd?" Colette said. "It's because the curtains are down."

"Oh. Eh, I knew that. Pull ém up, please."

"Roger that, I'll..."

"Wait a second... Who the hell is Roger? I'm Lloyd, remember."

"No, I mean roger as in..."

"I don't care about Roger, Colette! Just remove the curtains so that I can see what's going on!"

"Okay, okay." Colette muttered and started to spin the lever on the wall. The curtains went up.

"Oh..." Lloyd said, surprised. "I can't believe this."

"What is it? Let me see!"

"It's Raine."

"What's so weird about that?"

"Well, she's cooking."

"What? Is she going to make someone sick?"

"Most likely. They seem to be having a contest of some sort. Regal and Presea is there too. Zelos is punching Genis. Hard.There are a lot of chefs there... Wait, I know that guy in green..."

"Let me see!" Colette yelled, jumping up and down.

"Go get the other window!" Lloyd snorted.

"But it's facing a whole other direction! I can't see anything from there."

"I'll just describe what's happening! It's the Wonder Chef!"

Colette froze.

"So what you're saying is that..."

"Yes." Lloyd had a troubled look on his face. "Raine is being held hostage by the Wonder Chef, who's forcing her to make bad food to all citizens, all a part of the Chef Council's plan to take over the world!"

"OH NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" cried Colette.

"Can you be quiet?" yelled Sheena irritatingly. "I'm trying to hijack a vechile here! They are having a cooking contest, Raine versus the Wonder Chef."

"A cooking contest!" Lloyd blurted out. "What? Raine can never win that! She's the worst chef in the world."

"Sadly, it's true." Colette mumbled. "I wonder what they are competing for."

"I dunno, but we better get out of here before they notice us in here. Or Raine kills someone. Whichever happens first."

"I think I've started it up!" Sheena shouted, and in the very same moment the engine roared. "Let's get the hell out of here!"

Lloyd jumped down from the couch and ran over to Sheena. She was sitting behind the steering wheel, trying frantically to make the vechile move.

"It has started, but I can't move it!" Sheena yelled panically. "I've... Oh no, they've seen us!"


At first, the Wonder Chef couldn't believe what he saw. Just when he lifted his head from the fantastic dinner he was preparing, he noticed someone sitting behind the steering wheel of his vechile.

Someone was trying to steal his precious Wondermobile.

"STOP THEM!" He yelled and pointed his gigantic fork towards the vechile. "Don't let them escape!"

As the chefs ran against the Wondermobile to prevent it from leaving, the large door on the side sprung open, and Lloyd leaned out.

"Raine! Regal! Genis! Presea! Zelos! Let's go! HURRY!" He screamed. "Come quickly!"

Raine froze for a second. What was he screaming about? She was just preparing to finish her beautiful dish. This would mean extra homework.

"Not now, Lloyd!" She yelled back. "After the contest!"

"You can't win this contest, Raine!" Zelos yelled as he ran past her. "Come on!"

"I'll stay right here." Raine muttered, and poured some salt on her dish. "Now, what would I need..."

Genis, who had regained consciousness pulled her coat.

"Sis, we gotta leave! We have a vechile now, let's escape!"

"No Genis!" Raine smacked Genis hand. "Once I've won this contest, the vechile is ours to take. We can't just steal it. Stealing is wrong, you know. That was esta-"

"Meh, forget it." Genis dashed for the Wondermobile.

"Raine, run!" Lloyd yelled again. He had drawn his swords. Four angry chefs bolted against him, and just meters ahead of them ran Genis, Presea and Zelos.

"HURRY, DAMMIT!" Lloyd yelled. "Get inside, quick!"

Raine ignored Lloyd's infernal screaming and placed a cucumber on top of the mashed potatoes. Then she poured some additional sugar on it, and finished off with a slice of a tomato.

"There" She said, happily. "All I need now is some..."

"Hi Raine." Someone interrupted.

Raine looked up. It was Regal, standing in front of her.

"Oh, hi Regal."

"I'm sorry, Raine." He said. "I'd rather not to this, so forgive me."

"What do you mean? Sorry for what?"

"This."

BONK!

Everything went black in the blink of an eye.

Regal had smacked her in the back of her head with a frying pan.

She passed out instantly, and he caught her before she hit the ground.

"What have I done?" He mumbled as he ran with her in his arms. "She's going to kill me when she wakes up... Oh dear."

Ignoring the four chefs who were blocking his way to the Wondermobile, he just ran straight through them and knocked them all over like bowling pins.

"Regal, what have you done!" Lloyd asked panically. "You killed Raine!"

"What? Of course not!"

"But, but... She's bleeding!"

Regal looked down, nervously. Oh hell. Lloyd was right. Raine was bleeding from a big wound in the back of her head.

"Maybe I hit her too hard..."

"MAYBE?" Lloyd yelled and punched Regal twice. "You just killed my teacher! You could have just carried her over here!"

"I'm sure she'll be fine when she wakes up."

"IF SHE WAKES UP! DAMN YOU!" Lloyd kicked Regal's side. One, two, three times. "Now get inside! Let's leave before the chefs get back on their feet."

"I'm so going to die..." Regal whispered to himself, sweatdropping. "Mommy..."

Then he headed inside, and Sheena made the engine roar. Then she started to drive backwards to make their way out of Meltokio City.

The Wonder Chef crawled to his feet, seeing in panic how the Wondermobile started to move away from him.

"NO! MY PRECIOUS! STOP!" He yelled, running after it.

"This is no good." Sheena said inside the Wondermobile. "Some weird guy in green is running after us."

"He won't keep up for long." Zelos said, calmly. "He'll never keep up with us down the stairs."

"Good, good. Wait a second... What did you just say?"

"I said that he would never be able to keep up with us down the stai... Oops. This is not good. This is not good."

"STAIRS!" Sheena screamed. "OH NO!"

But it was too late. The vechile tipped over before Sheena reached the brakes. And then the Wondermobile bounced down the stairs, sending all people in it flying around like ragdolls.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" They all yelled simultaneously and then everything came to a screeching halt.

The back of the Wondermobile had crashed straight into the closedcity gate.

"This is not good... This is not good..." Zelos kept repeating to himself, lying on his back under a table that was upside down.

"Damn, the gate was closed!" Sheena sweatdropped. "This is bad!"

"Hey, guys..." Genis said. He was lying on his belly, staring straight out through the window. "That green-clothed guy is still after us. And his buddies are with him as well. They are looking angry. Very angry."

"This is not good... This is not good..." Zelos said again, nervously. "Shall we run?"


That was chapter 10, hope you liked it! In the next chapter of Rock The World: Kratos, Yuan, Magnius and Forcystus have a meeting when something unexpected happens. And will our heroes be able to escape from the evil Wonder Chef?And will I be able to come up with more crazy questions?

Tune in next time for chapter 11 of Rock The World!

Take care, and rock on!
