Chapter 5: The First Course

Doughnut-So went for the most furious of them all, Panda Bearger. She attacked with her Glaze Breath, but Panda Bearger attacked with his own rancid breath, canceling out the Donut Foodon's. Doughnut-So didn't let that bother her as she head-butted the large Foodon in the stomach. Panda Bearger roared and took a swipe at Doughnut-So.

The Donut Foodon jumped up and over Panda Bearger's head, landing behind him. But she didn't expect Panda Bearger's foot to kick backwards. Doughnut-So went flying, crashing painfully to the floor. Then Panda Bearger stepped on her tail, earning a squeal of pain from the Donut Foodon. His paw curled into a fist and came crashing down.

Doughnut-So was unable to get away due to Panda Bearger stepping on her tail, but she managed to roll away just before the Cheeseburger Foodon's fist slammed into the ground where she was laying, creating a large hole in the floor.

While Panda Beager pulled his paw out of the ground, Doughnut-So took a bit out of the foot that was on her tail. Panda Bearger snarled and removed his foot. Doughnut-So jumped up and spun around, allowing the very tail Panda Bearger had been standing on to strike him in the face.

Meanwhile, Ham Scam-Witch was having her own problem with Hamadillo. The Ham Foodon may have been small, but it was certainly fast. She tried using her charms on him, but Hamadillo was doing a rather good job at not being affected by her; probably because he was more animal than humanoid.

Ham Scam-Witch's fighting strategy was to lure male Foodons in with her charms and then surprise them by attacking with the claws on her right hand. But that wasn't working with Hamadillo, so she had to resort to wildly slashing at the little critter. But he was so fast that she couldn't catch him.

"Little creep," she growled in irritation, "hold still!"

"Hamadillo!"

He slammed into her with what would have been enough force to knock her off her broom if it hadn't been attached to her.

Looking at the Ham Foodon with sad eyes, she said, "How could you treat a lady like that?"

Hamadillo hesitated in his next attack, and that gave Ham Scam-Witch enough time to slash him with her clawed hand. Unfortunately, Hamadillo's skin was very tough and leathery, and her claws hand no affect. To make matters worse, her attack on him broke the charm and Hamadillo went on the attack again.

Tater-Tons took a swing at Buffalo Wings with his massive claw. Buffalo Wings rammed into the oncoming claw, knocking it away. Then he surprised Tater-Tons by taking to the air. He didn't exactly flying; he seemed to be able to run on the air itself.

He slammed into Tater-Tons' head, knocking it off of his other two layers. But Tater-Tons was fully capable of coming apart and coming back together again. Buffalo Wings didn't give him a chance to pull himself together as he rammed Tater-Tons' middle piece.

A moment later, Tater-Tons' top piece came crashing down on Buffalo Wings' back. The Buffalo Wing Foodon collapsed under Tater-Tons' weight, groaning in pain. Tater-Tons jumped up only to slam back down on his opponent.

Noticing that his fellow Foodon was in trouble, Polar Bearger grabbed Doughnut-So by her donut ear, spun her around, and threw her at the giant Foodon. Doughnut-So hit Tater-Tons with such force that he was knocked off Buffalo Wings.

Mussels Marinara chuckled. "Now that's team work for you. Time to take it up a level with a Power Topping."

He held up the topping that would give his Foodon the boost it needed. It became engulfed in light and he threw it at Polar Bearger. The Burger Foodon held out its arms to receive the Power Topping, but Coco threw one of her ninja stars at it, knocking it out of the air.

"Hey!" Mussels Marinara cried angrily. "No fair, that's cheating!"

"As if you Gluttons never play dirty." She replied. "Ham Scam-Witch, show that beefy burger who's boss."

Ham Scam-Witch smiled, flying away from a put out Hamadillo. "You got it, master." She flew over to Polar Bearger and winked at him. "Hey, big boy, you wouldn't hurt a lady, now, would you?"

Hearts appeared in Polar Bearger's eyes as he became enamored by Ham Scam-Witch's charms. "Bearger." He grunted while blushing.

That's when Ham Scam-Witch attacked. "Sorry, buddy!"

Swiping at him, she slashed Polar Bearger across the face. The Burger Foodon bellowed in anger and pain as five gashes appeared on his face. He stumbled back and let out a cloud of his rancid breath.

"Pee-eww!" Ham Scam-Witch cried, pinching her nose. "Doughnut-So, his breath is more dangerous than yours."

"Ham Scam-Witch, behind you!" Coco shouted.

"Huh?"

She looked over her shoulder to see Buffalo Wings running at her on air. She cried out as he rammed into her from behind. She flew through the air before she exploded in a cloud of purple smoke, her Meal Ticket falling to the ground.

"Ham Scam-Witch!" Coco cried, horrified by her Foodon's death. True, she could always whip up another one, maybe even another Ham Scam-Witch using the same Meal Ticket, but that didn't mean she didn't morn her Foodon's death.

"Ha, ha!" Mussels Marinara laughed. "That's one down and only two to go. Buffalo Wings, take out her Doughnut-So next."

Buffalo Wings turned around and ran towards Doughnut-So, coming at her from up above. He never reached her. Tater-Tons' claw came out of nowhere and snatched Buffalo Wings out of the sky, his pincher crushing the Foodon's neck. Buffalo Wings cried out as his neck broke and he passed on in the same manner as Ham Scam-Witch had.

Mussels Marinara growled angrily, showing no remorse for having lost his Foodon. "Stupid creature. All brawn and no brains. Polar Bearger, pull yourself together and finished them."

Polar Bearger growled, rubbing at the cuts on his face. Squinting, he spotted Doughnut-So and charged at her.

"Doughnut-So!" she cried and head-butted Polar Bearger in the stomach.

The Burger Foodon got the wind knocked out of him and collapsed. He glared at Doughnut-So, who stuck her tongue out at him before scurrying away. A moment later, Tater-Tons' bottom layer came crashing down on top of him, followed by the second and then third. Once Tater-Tons was in one piece again, he jumped up and came down, his full weight crushing Polar Bearger.

Polar Bearger grunted one last time before going still, his body dissolving into a cloud of purple smoke.

"Great job!" Coco cheered. "Just one more. You can do it!"

"Doughnut-So!" the Donut Foodon cried.

A moment later, Hamadillo slammed into her from behind.

"Dillo!"

Doughnut-So got back up and turned to the Ham Foodon. "Doughnut-So!"

Tater-Tons came up behind Doughnut-So, towering over the two foot Ham Foodon. Hamadillo looked up at the giant Foodon and gulped. Then he turned tail and ran over to his master.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mussels Marinara demanded.

There was a soft pop and Hamadillo retreated back into his Meal Ticket, not wanting to face two Foodons alone, one of them being nearly four stories tall.

Coco crossed her arms. "Looks like you last Foodon's forfeited the battle. That means I win."

Mussels Marinara growled, angry about being defeated. "How could I lose to a little girl like her? Losing to Chase is one thing, he's a Dishwizard, but to her."

"Mussels Marinara, you were a fool." Came the voice of an unknown person.

"You underestimate your opponents."

"It wouldn't be the first time."

While the others looked for where the speakers were coming from, Mussels Marinara knew exactly where to look, and he bowed before them. "Please forgive me. It was a fluke. I'll win next time."

"There won't be a next time."

"We will take over now. Lights!"

The lights came on, illuminating the speakers, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines.

Chase and the others couldn't believe it. But unless their eyes were playing tricks on them, the speakers were none other than King Gorge's Big 4.

(A/N: The Big 4 is back. How this is possible will be explained next chapter, as will the revealing of the true villain in the story.)
