Chapter 4: Arriving at the Arena
It was finally done, the monster cake to which Mung Daal had crafted for quite a number of hours was finished. The day of the Monster Cake Melee Bash contest was finally there, and Mung had to place the monster cake in a large crate box, yet the monster cake in question wasn't really that much of a monster as while Mung and company arrived on the scene, the other chefs' monsters were trying to simply get out of their crates.
"Well, look who just showed up here" said Endive as she noticed Mung and company on the scene.
"Hi Chowder" said Panini as she then noticed him with Mung.
"I'm not your boyfriend!" shouted Chowder.
"Alright, let's get this event over and collect that half a million bucks" said Mung as Shnitzel was the one who had to carry the heavy crate carrying the monster cake.
"Radda, radda, radda?" asked Shnitzel as he struggled in lifting the heavy crate.
"Don't complain to me on how the crate is too heavy" said Mung, "just put it done somewhere so that the judges can see it."
"So, why does your monster cake not try to break out of its crate like the others are?" asked Endive as she leaned toward Mung.
"It's about making a monster cake who'll obey your every commands, looks like your monster cake could learn a few manners" replied Mung.
The scene then changes to the crate which a samurai-green tea flavored cake was desperately trying to free itself from its prison. In which case, green tea frosting was being slobbered all over the place.
"Wow, monster cake frosting!" cried Chowder with joy, to which he then promptly began to scarf the frosting down that was on the floor.
"Chowder, stop eating that frosting!" cried Mung, "You can have it once our monster cake splatters Endive's all over the place!"
"Okay, I can't wait for that to happen!" cried Chowder with joy whose face was covered with green tea flavored frosting.
"Clean up yourself while your at it as well" added Truffles.
"You got it" replied Chowder as he simply used his tongue to get the frosting that was covering his entire face.
A few minutes later, Mung and company along with Endive and Panini had arrived right in their arena seats.
"Is it our turn for our monster cake?" asked Chowder as he leaned over the edge of the platform looking down below.
"No, not yet" replied Mung, "we're going to have to wait for awhile."
After a few seconds later, a large German chocolate monster cake, with a World War I style fashion emerged on the arena stage. Chowder's eyes opened wider, as drool began to develop on his tongue, and was dripping down from his face. He wanted to taste that German chocolate monster cake so badly, to which he then was about to leap right into the arena himself to which Shnitzel then managed to grab him, and forced him back in his seat.
"Radda, radda, radda!" shouted Shnitzel to Chowder.
"Alright, alright, I'll let the monster cakes fight each other" replied Chowder.
While the German chocolate monster cake was flexing its muscles to show the crowd, a Mexican-style volcano white chocolate cake appeared as the German chocolate monster cake's opponent. Chowder once again, glared at the other cake, and was quite hungry indeed. But Shnitzel this time was well prepared as he tied poor Chowder right at his seat. The bell for the battle rang, and the two monster cakes went at each other. Chocolate both regular and white went everywhere, and some of the chocolate even fell on the seats where Mung and company along with Endive and Panini sat to which Chowder quickly scarfed it down entirely.
"Yummy!" cried Chowder with joy as he scarfed down the oncoming chocolate.
As the battle was over, the Mexican white chocolate volcano cake was the victor, and the poor German chocolate monster cake was all over the place. This wanted to make Chowder try to get himself off his seat and right back onto the arena to eat up the loser. Yet Shnitzel once again stopped him.
"Radda, radda, radda!" cried Shnitzel as he threw Chowder back in his seat.
"Okay, okay, I won't do it again, I promise" replied Chowder.
While the Mexican white chocolate volcano monster cake was showing off to the crowd of its latest victory, another monster cake appeared right on the scene, to which was exposed to be a simple fruit cake with white frosting on it. Yet this fruit cake was filled with the special no fruit, making Chowder's eyes open even wider than before.
"Oh boy, that cake looks tasty too!" cried Chowder with joy as the drool from his tongue then began to turn the entire floor into a river.
"Will you shut that mouth of yours?" asked Truffles to Chowder as she noticed the water level rise up.
"Sorry" replied Chowder as he closed his mouth.
The second battle then began, and the no fruit monster cake launched the first strike against the other cake. The other monster cake fired white chocolate from its volcano built on the top of the cake. Yet the no fruit monster cake was able to throw some fruit which absorbed the white chocolate that was coming right at it. The no fruit cake easily managed to defeat the white chocolate monster cake, to which white chocolate went right all over the arena itself covering everybody, and making Chowder scarf up the white chocolate that was on him.
"That was even tastier than the cake I had before!" cried Chowder with joy, "I wonder what cake would come up next?"
"Oh, you'll find out, you'll find out soon enough" replied Endive as she gave an evil grin to Chowder.
It was suddenly Endive's monster cake's turn, as the samurai-green tea monster cake broke out of its crate as it was raised to the level of the stage.
"See Mung, your monster cake, should it ever face mine will likely loose" laughed Endive.
"Is that a bet?" asked Mung as he turned toward her.
"Why yes" replied Endive, "if your monster cake wins, I'll give you all of my earnings from my kitchen, yet if you loose, you'll have to give up all of your earnings."
"Fine then" said Mung.
"Honey, are you crazy?!" cried Truffles as she yelled at Mung.
"Don't worry, I have everything wrapped up and ready to go" replied Mung.
"You better, or if our monster cake loses to her's, then it'll be your head!" cried Truffles.
