Chapter 9: Dim-Sum's Decision

Back in Metabolis City, inside the giant robot known as Butcherbot, Gazmacho, Scarinara, and Gobblebot were working furiously, trying to find the location Dia's call had come from. News that the Big 4 was back was very disturbing. The last thing they needed was for the Glutton Empire to rise again.

"You picking up anything, Gobblebot?" Gazmacho asked.

The Pasta Foodon shook his head. "Can't get a reading. After she hung up, all traces of her disappeared."

Scarinara looked worried. "You don't think the Big 4 is holding them prisoner, do you?"

Gazmacho tried not to show how concerned he was. "I think they'll be fine. After all, Dia's with them. She's a genius after all." Then he remembered how eccentric the rocket scientist was and sweat-dropped. "Well, um, Chase is with them. He beat the Big 4 before, he can do it again."

"The Big 4 shouldn't even be there." Scarinara told him. "The Big 4 were nothing more than animals under a spell. We've got the animals that were the Big 4 right here. So how can they be there?"

Gobblebot rubbed his head. "This is so confusing, I'm getting a headache."

"Never mind the headache." Gazmacho growled. "We need to let Oslo and Chef Jack know about this. If the Gluttons are trying to rise to power again, this time we'll be ready."

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)

Rose Marinade laughed as the Rebel Chefs entered her domain. "So, we finally come down to it. It's our long awaited rematch."

Chase glared at her. "I'll never forgive you for what you did to Fruit Turtle!"

Rose Marinade just waved it off. "Oh please, don't try and act all righteous with me. After all, it was you that used the purple pepper."

Chase winced. "You're Dim-Sum Deluxe was tearing her apart." He looked away with tears in his eyes. "She was doomed either way."

Coco rested a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It's ok, Chase. You did what you had to do. I'm sure Fruit Turtle, where ever she is, forgives you."

Rose Marinade looked bored as she watched them. "Don't go and try acting all righteous. Foodons die everyday. You risk your Foodons' lives every time you send them into battle." She held up a Meal Ticket. "Are you prepared to do it again? Now serving Cinnamon Snail!"

A very mean looking snail appeared. It was large, bigger than a school bus. And that was not counting its shell, which was actually a cinnamon roll.

"Cinnamon Snail." The Foodon snarled, drool dripping from its mouth.

Chase growled, looking up at the large Foodon. Two of his Foodons were poisoned from Peanut Butter & Jellyfish and needed to recover. Fried Ricer he was still saving for Don Cook. That left him with one option. Dim-Sumthin' Special would have to fight. The question waswould he fight. After all, it had been Rose Marinade that cooked him up and gave him life.

'It's risky, but I've got no choice.' "Now serving, Dim-Sumthin' Special!"

The Dim Sum Foodon appeared. He looked ready and willing to fight. That is, until he caught sight of who his opponent was.

"Dim-Sumthin'?"

Rose Marinade smirked. "Well, well, well, look who it is. Hello, Dim-Sumthin' Special. Surely you haven't forgotten about me, your first and real master."

"Dim-Sumthin' Special." The Foodon said nervously. He was clearly uncomfortable. "Dim-Sum."

"You're not planning on betraying me, are you?" the Glutton asked. "After everything I did for you. Look at me! I am your master. Come, stand by my side once again."

Dim-Sumthin' Special made a move towards her, but paused and glanced back at Chase.

"Dim-Sumthin' Special…" Chase whispered, looking at the Foodon hopefully. "You're not… going to leave me… are you? After everything we've been through."

The conflict was clear in the Foodon's eyes. "Dim…"

Rose Marinade stomped on the ground. "Dim-Sumthin' Special. I am your master. Obey me! Get your scaly hide over here right this minute."

Dim-Sumthin' Special kept looking back and forth at his two masters, clearly unable to decide who to go to.

"Please, Dim-Sumthin' Special." Said Chase quietly. "Do you really want to go back to her? I took you in. I cared for you. I loved you as if I had cooked you up myself. You're my friend." The look on Dim-Sumthin' Special's face was heartbreaking. Chase looked down. "But I'll understand if your loyalties are to her. Do what you want. Just make sure it's what you want."

Tapping her finger angrily, Rose Marinade lost her patience. "Dim-Sumthin' Special, this is the last time I'm going to tell you, come to me at once!"

Dim-Sumthin' Special turned to her, glaring at her defiantly. "Dim-Somethin' Special!" he cried, and settled next to Chase, having made his decision.

Rose Marinade glared at her former Foodon with hatred. "You ungrateful creep! Fine, stay with him. He won't be around much longer anyway. Cinnamon Snail attack!"

"Cinnamon!"

The giant Foodon spat a mouthful of sticky frosting at Dim-Sumthin' Special. The Dim Sum Foodon found himself glued to the arena floor, struggling to get free.

"Now put him out of his misery!" Rose Marinade shouted.

Cinnamon Snail retreat inside his cinnamon roll shell and began rolling like a wheel, heading right for Dim-Sumthin' Special.

"Dim-Sumthin' Special, look out!" Chase cried.

Dim-Sumthin' Special struggled, but couldn't get free. Cinnamon Snail was about to run him over when six figures appeared in his path. Together they kicked the rolling Foodon, sending him flying backwards.

"What?" Rose Marinade cried. "What happened?"

"We happened!" cried one of the creatures. "We're the-"

"BURGER BRIGADE!" all six cried.

Rose Marinade's eyes widened. "You guys."

Dia blinked in confusion, not remembering meeting the six All-American Burger Foodons since she had been Clawdia at the time. "Who are they?"

Each of the Burger Foodons introduced themselves.

"I am Ground Chuck, and my fists are fast and furious!" cried the red one, who was the leader.

"I am Jamburger!" said the blue one.

"Veggie-Myte!" exclaimed the green.

"Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger!" shouted the yellow.

"Medium-Rare!" announced the pink.

"And I am Well-Done!" declared the black and toughest looking of the group.

"And together," Ground Chuck concluded, "we make up the-"

"BURGER BRIGADE!"

Dia clapped. "That was great! They should make a TV show about you guys. I can see it now; they can call it Power Rangers or maybe Super Sentai. Yeah, that'd be great."

Rose Marinade growled. "Foolish creatures. How dare you interfere!"

Ground Chuck pointed an accusing finger at her. "How dare you make us your slaves! The Burger Brigade fights for truth and justice. We oppose the Gluttons and all they stand for."

This just made Rose Marinade smirk. "That certainly didn't stop you from working for me before."

"Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger."

"Cheeseburger's right." Said Well-Done. "You put them under a spell."

Her gaze shifted to him. "And what's your excuse. You aided me of your own free will."

Well-Done glared at her. "Only to save my friends. Once I rescued them, we would have taken you down."

"Really?" Rose Marinade chuckled. "So you think you can defeat the Gluttons. Well you're wrong. Soon the Gluttons will take over and this world will be ruled by King Gorgeous Gorge and Prince Dazzling Don Cook!"

Pie Tin cut his eyes at her. "Why do you keep giving them such dumb titles? King 'Gorgeous' Gorge, Prince 'Dazzling' Don Cook. It's really stupid."

"Silence brat!" Rose Marinade snapped. "You too once called them by such titles." Her gaze shifted to Kayla. "You and your little girlfriend once were part of the Gluttons."

Both Pie Tin and Kayla exchanged surprised looks before shouting at the Glutton, "I'm/She's not his/my girlfriend!"

"And that's only because you drugged them." Albert growled. He shivered at the memory of what they did to him when they were under Rose Marinade's spell. "I think you gave them too much of that potion. They bypassed mean and become just plain cruel."

"Hey!"

Albert shrugged. "No offense."

"Never fear, my friends," said Ground Chuck, "the Burger Brigade will make sure to end Glutton oppression once and for all."

Rose Marinade laughed. "That is something I would like to see you try." Her gaze shifted to Dim-Sumthin' Special. "I'll deal with you once I'm done with them."

"Dim-Sumthin' Special." The Dim Sum Foodon muttered, and retreated inside his Meal Ticket.

Rose Marinade turned back to the Burger Brigade. "So you think you can defeat me. Lets see how you do against my Cinnamon Snail. Destroy them!"

"Cinnamon Snail!" the large Foodon cried.

The six Burger Foodons struck a pose.

"Burger Brigade, move out!" Ground Chuck cried.

"RIGHT!" the others cried.

(A/N: The Burger Brigade are the biggest rip off of 'Power Ranger'. They're even the same color scheme. Though they were kind of funny.)

Cinnamon Snail– Food: cinnamon roll.
