Hello again everyone, and here is chapter 13 of Tartarus kitchen, we begin the journey of all the black jacket chefs.


Recap: Previously, the final 7 chefs begin the black jacket challenges that decide who joins Applejack in earning black jackets, the six chefs started off in a taste it now make it challenge, and it was Pinkie Pie and Vinyl who completed the challenge and they joined Applejack in earning black jackets.

The remaining four chefs, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Derpy and Micro Chips then began the second challenge for the black jackets, making a dish with one simple ingredient, Eggplant, and it was Rainbow Dash and Derpy who were the most successful in making a great dish with that ingredient.

It was only Fluttershy and Micro Chips left, doing the final death match battle, a cook for your life challenge to decide who gets the final black jacket, and it was Fluttershy who won, and in the end, Micro Chips was eliminated.

Only six chefs remaining, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, Derpy and Fluttershy, beginning their journey as black jacket chefs.

6 chefs remaining.


Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, Derpy and Fluttershy lined up.

" Welcome to your first individual challenge as a black jacket chef, the portions challenge, today you'll be making burgers, for 50 students from Cloudsdale middleschool", said Ramsay.

That got Fluttershy and even Rainbow Dash a little nervous, knowing they were both from Cloudsdale before the went to CHS.

" You must make 50 portions of your chosen burgers, and have 1 hour to make them, each student from Cloudsdale will try out the burgers, and will vote for which one is their favorite, the chef with the most votes, wins the challenge", said Ramsay.

And so an hour began, and each chef began making their burgers, they gathered the ingredients, began cooking the patties, and then prepped the 50 burgers each.

Once the hour is up, the six chefs presented their burgers.

Applejack has made an Outback Burger from the land down under.

Pinkie Pie made a stunning double beef and double cheese burger.

Vinyl has made a crumbed chicken burger.

Rainbow Dash has made a Zinger burger, with a nice spice to it, but hopefully not too spicy.

Derpy made a crumbed fish burger, halibut so to speak.

And Fluttershy has made a vegetarian burger.

Each student from Cloudsdale was given the six burgers, they tried out each one, and voted.

Once the students left, the six chefs lined up and faced Ramsay.

" Ladies, the votes have been counted, and I will reveal them, in sixth place, with 10% of the votes is...

...

... Derpy hooves on her Halibut burger", said Ramsay.

The applauded for the effort.

" In fifth place, with 12% of the votes, is...

...

.. Vinyl on her Chicken burger", said Ramsay.

Derpy patted Vinyl on the shoulder, now that leaves Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.

" In fourth place with 14% of the votes is..

...

.. Fluttershy on her vegetarian burger", said Ramsay.

Fluttershy, although glad that 14% of the students are vegetarians, and supported her burger, is disappointed that she didn't win.

" In third place, with 18% of the votes is...

...

...

..Pinkie Pie on her double beef and double cheese burger", said Ramsay.

That then left Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

" In second place with 22% of the votes is...

...

...

..Rainbow Dash, on her zinger burger, which means in first place, with 26% of the votes, is, Applejack on her down under style burgers", said Ramsay.

Everyone cheered for Applejack as she won.

" Applejack, for your reward, you'll be dining, at the latest burger joint, where you get to try out some amazing burgers, also you get to pick someone to join you, any takers", said Ramsay.

" I pick Rainbow Dash", said Applejack.

" Enjoy yourselves, meanwhile, as for the rest of you, your penalty is cleaning, I expect to see the kitchen spotless by tomorrow for your first black jacket service", said Ramsay.


Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Vinyl and Derpy began cleaning up, Pinkie Pie then noticed some of her friends are getting nervous.

" Hey Fluttershy, Derpy, are you two alright", said Pinkie Pie.

" Yeah, just a little nervous about tomorrow night's service", said Fluttershy.

" Me too", said Derpy.

" What's to be nervous about, it's just like any other service", said Pinkie Pie.

" That was back when we were split in two different kitchens, we only had to tend to half of the customers in the restaurant, but now were going to tend to the entire restaurant", said Fluttershy.

" As well as, now that we're in black jackets, it's going to get more difficult for us", said Derpy.

" I understand that you're both nervous, and I know how you feel, I'm nervous as well, but what I do is take a deep breath, relax, and carry on, it's not really the best tip, but, if the six of us work together, we'll be fine, just because we're doubling on service, doesn't mean we'll screw up", said Pinkie Pie.

Vinyl nodded in agreement.


The six black jacket chefs, began prepping for their first merging service, and 11th service overall.

On tonight service, it takes place in the blue kitchen, and we have Rainbow Dash on Appetizers, Derpy on Meat, Vinyl on Fish, Applejack on Garnish, Fluttershy on Desserts, and for a special, Pinkie Pie on Pizza's.

" Dover Soul, open up Tartarus kitchen", said Ramsay.

7:00 PM, and the restaurant opened, customers began entering, orders were taken, dishes were made.

20 minutes later, the first problem happened.

" Derpy, the lamb chop is under cooked", said Ramsay.

" Sorry chef", said Derpy.

25 minutes went by.

" Applejack, when I call out an order, I expect it to be filled, I specifically mentioned this customer didn't want corn in her salad, but you put it in, make a new one from scratch, and this time hold the corn", said Ramsay.

" Yes Chef", said Applejack.

15 minutes later, over an hour into dinner service.

" Pinkie, come here", said Ramsay.

Pinkie Pie did so.

" You tell me, how do you make a Hawaiian pizza, what is the main ingredient needed for a Hawaiian pizza", said Ramsay.

" Pineapple", said Pinkie Pie.

" Well then where's the f*cking pineapple, it's no use calling it a Hawaiian pizza when there's no Pineapple", said Ramsay.

" Sorry chef, I'll make a new one right now", said Pinkie Pie.

20 minutes later.

" VINYL", shouted Ramsay, approaching the mute DJ girl, holding a fish.

" Raw bass, I expected more from you, put it back in the pan", said Ramsay, handing the fish back to Vinyl.

20 minutes later.

" Rainbow Dash, you overcooked the risotto, look at it", said Ramsay, showing Rainbow Dash the pan containing the Risotto.

" It doesn't look burnt", said Rainbow Dash.

" It's not because it's burnt, it's all mush, it's shit, f*ck", said Ramsay.

25 more minutes went by.

" THAT'S IT, ALL OF YOU, IN THE STORAGE ROOM, NOW", shouted Ramsay.

One by one, the six chefs went into the storage room.

" Out of the eighteen of you that competed in this competition, I picked you six to be black jackets, but at the moment, I'm starting to question that, Rainbow Dash has been sent me an overcooked Risotto, Vinyl sent me an under cooked sea bass, Pinkie Pie has been f*cking up on the pizza, Derpy has been sending me raw meat and right now I have to wait long on Applejack's sides on the recent order, at the moment Fluttershy's the only one doing good this service, and it was dumb luck that got her this jacket, we've got an hour left into service, and hopefully you'll get it together", said Ramsay.

20 minutes later.

" Now the lamb chops are burnt, overcooked, under cooked, you need to know your limit Derpy, I can see why they gave you that name", said Ramsay.

5 minutes later.

" Applejack, you're taking too long on the garnishes, thankfully, no more orders involving sides have been taken, get out, take a f*cking load off", said Ramsay.

20 minutes later.

" Fluttershy, what's happening on the Desserts", said Ramsay.

" I can't seem to cook the cake at the moment", said Fluttershy.

" And why not", said Ramsay.

" The oven's broken", said Fluttershy.

" What", said Ramsay.

Ramsay checked out the oven, and it was busted.

" Huh, there's another oven at the other side, use that one", said Ramsay.

" Yes Chef", said Fluttershy.

10 minutes later it was 10:00 PM, service has ended, the customers left, everyone switched off, and cleaned up.

They then lined up afterwards, facing Ramsay.

" It wasn't the worst service, and it wasn't the best either, if one of you is to be a head chef, I need more effort, I want you to head to the dorm, and come up with two individuals, who you think had shown the least amount of effort", said Ramsay.


Time went by, and Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash, Derpy and Fluttershy lined up, facing Ramsay.

" Fluttershy, has your team made a decision", said Ramsay.

" Yes chef", said Fluttershy.

" First nominee and why", said Ramsay.

" Applejack, based on her performance in tonight's service", said Fluttershy.

" Second nominee and why", said Ramsay.

" Derpy, based on her performance on the Meat station", said Fluttershy.

" Applejack, Derpy, step forward", said Ramsay.

Applejack and Derpy did so.

" Applejack, why should you stay in tartarus kitchen", said Ramsay.

" I've been very vulnerable these past few weeks, I have gotten my black jacket earlier, and has helped out both teams at the same time", said Applejack.

" Derpy, why should you stay", said Ramsay.

" I've been very vulnerable as well, I worked on my stations, I regret deeply taking advantage of the black jacket", said Derpy.

" Right, my decision is made, the person leaving tartarus kitchen, is...

...

...

...

... Derpy", said Ramsay.

Sighing sadly, Derpy took off her jacket, and handed it to Ramsay.

" I wished to keep you in longer, but sadly this is where the cookie crumbles, you're an amazing chef Derpy, and the best at making Muffins, but sadly, you're not ready to be head chef", said Ramsay.

Derpy then wrapped her arms around Ramsay, embracing him into a hug.

" Thanks for the opportunity", said Derpy.

" Thank's for your time", said Ramsay.

Derpy then made her ways out of the doors, out of tartarus kitchen.

Derpy's final comment, " I knew eventually I was going to leave, I knew I wasn't going to win, but I'm glad to actually win a black jacket, that's something I should be proud of, best of luck to the others".

Ramsay then turned to the remaining five chefs.

" Back to your dorms, and I expect you all to be up early, there's a surprise waiting tomorrow", said Ramsay.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy headed back to their dorms, while Ramsay headed to his office, and hung Derpy's black jacket.

Ramsay's final comment, " Derpy is a tough competitor, despite her eye's being a little funny, and despite being a little clumsy, she was worth giving a black jacket to, and earned it, however sadly, she wasn't the one I was looking for".

6th place: Derpy Hooves.

5 chefs remaining.


And that's it, only five chefs remain, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Vinyl, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, our top five, and next chapter, they will do a different service, somewhere not in Tartarus kitchen, hopefully it won't get Applejack seasick, until next time that's all for now.
