Chapter 13: Identity Revealed

"So," Chase wondered allowed, "are we going to face Don Cook now?"

"Not quite yet." A feminine voice answered, as they entered the next room. "You have yet to defeat me."

Coco crossed her arms. "We already beat you."

Ann Chovy chuckled. "That battle was merely the appetizer. Now it's time for the main course. Defeat me, and Don Cook awaits you."

Albert cracked his knuckles. "I guess that means it's my turn. Now serving Cowboyritto, Spaghettaboutit, and Crab Quake!"

Ann Chovy smirked, looking at his Foodons; a cowboy with a burrito for a head, a similar one with a plate of spaghetti for a head, and a giant crab with a crab cake shell on its back, complete with cannons. This was going to be a good battle.

"I've been having a sweet tooth lately." She said. "So I decided to stick to the dessert menu. Now serving Chocolate Bunny!"

A large rabbit, even bigger than Crab Quake appeared, its entire body made of chocolate.

"Waferior!"

The second Foodon was made up entirely out of wafer cookies; it's torso, arms legs, and head each a different cookie.

"And everyone's favorite, S'moregesborg!"

The last Foodon was humanoid, with the body of a ninja and the head of a s'more with a marshmallow for each hand.

Ann Chovy chuckled. "I hope you're ready for your just desserts. Now, my Foodons, destroy them."

Albert pointed at Ann Chovy's Foodons. "Take them down."

"Crab Quake!"

Crab Quake launched missiles from his Crustacean Cannons. Chocolate Bunny directly got in the line of fire, shielding his fellow Foodons from the attack. He was blown to pieces. Albert smirked, thinking he had already taken own one of his opponents. But the pieces just melted down, came back together, and solidified once again, to reveal Chocolate Bunny to be completely unharmed.

"S'moregesborg!" the s'more Foodon cried, throwing a series of punches at Spaghettaboutit. Though his fists were marshmallows, they still did as much damage as any other punch.

Spaghettaboutit blocked S'moregesborg's blows with his giant fork. He shot his Linguini Lassos at the S'more Foodon, binding S'moregesborg's legs together. S'moregesborg fell over and look up to glare at Spaghettaboutit. He raised his arm and launched the marshmallow that served as his hand at the Spaghetti Foodon, immediately regrowing it.

Spaghettaboutit jumped away from the bucket-sized marshmallow. It melted the moment it hit the floor. S'moregesborg proceeded to launch more marshmallows. Spaghettaboutit continued jumping out of the way until he stepped in a puddle of melted marshmallow. The sticky substance held him in place, no matter how much he struggled.

Cowboyritto swung around his lasso then tossed it at Waferior. It went around the Wafer Foodon's neck. Waferior thrashed about, but lacking fingers made him unable to remove the rope.

"Yee-ha!" Cowboyritto cried, keeping a firm grasp on the rope.

Waferior tried a new tactic. Instead of trying to pull away from Cowboyritto, he ran towards him, doing a belly flop. Cowboyritto'e eyes widened, jumping out of the way as Waferior came crashing down.

Displaying an incredible amount of strength, he pulled on his rope, lifting Waferior's massive weight off the ground, then slamming him back down.

"Yee-ha!"

Crab Quake swung his claws at Chocolate Bunny, but his opponent was fast. And being able to shift from a liquid to a solid was making it a lot harder to fight.

Chocolate Bunny dove at Crab Quake, liquefying himself as he did so. He covered the Crab Cake Foodon and solidified again. Crab Quake struggled, but was completely immobilized by Chocolate Bunny's hold.

Spaghettaboutit was facing his own problems with chocolate. Glued to the spot, he had a hard time dodging the streams of hot melted chocolate that S'moregesborg spat at him.

Getting frustrated. S'moregesborg grabbed the top graham cracker on his head and threw it like a Frisbee. Spaghettaboutit dropped to the floor, the graham cracker flying over his head. As it doubled back, it cut through the rope Cowboyritto had around Waferior, before reattaching to S'morgesborg's head. Waferior and Cowboyritto fell apart, the former crashing to the ground with a mighty thud.

Crab Quake continued to struggle, but was unable to escape. He fired his cannons, blowing holes in his chocolate prison, but Chocolate Bunny immediately liquefied over the holes then hardened again.

Albert's eyes narrowed as he watched his Crab Quake struggle. "Alright, it's time for a Power Topping."

Crab Quake absorbed the Power Topping, feeling his energy skyrocket. "Crab Quake!"

He fired his cannons, with much more power behind it. Chocolate Bunny was blown off Crab Quake, pieces of him flying everywhere. Each piece melted down then reformed into a miniature Chocolate Bunny.

Ann Chovy chuckled. "You know how rabbits are. Once they start multiplying, they're everywhere."

Crab Quake fired his cannons again. The Chocolate Bunnies scurried about, trying to avoid the blasts. As they fled, they got too close to their master, as did Crab Quake's missiles.

"Idiots!" Ann Chovy cried. "Don't come over to me!"

Crab Quake's missiles struck the ground in front of her, the shockwaves throwing her back. Groaning, she got to her feet, her hood sliding off, revealing her features. She was middle-aged, with long dark green hair that curled at the end cascading down her back. And she had very familiar brown eyes.

Chase gasped. He knew why those eyes were so familiar. They were the same color as his own.

"M-Mom?" he stammered.

"It is her!" Kayla cried in disbelief.

"What?" the others cried.

Even the woman who Chase claimed was his mother looked confused. "Yes, what are you talking about?0 I have no children. I have always served the Gluttons. It's all I've ever known."

Albert glanced back at the others. "Chase, are you sure she's you're mother."

"That's Mrs. Makunouchi alright." Said a Meatball. "I would recognize her anywhere."

"She disappeared over a year ago." A second Meatball continued. "She was taken by the Gluttons. When Chef Jack went to go find her, he never came back. That's why master and Kayla went looking for them, but we only ever found Chef Jack."

"Enough!" Ann Chovy/Mrs. Makunouchi snapped. "I think I would remember if I was married to Chef Jack, or if I had two kids. You're either mistaking me for someone else, or trying to fool me. Either way, it's not going to help."

Tears were pouring down Kayla's cheeks. "Chase, why? Why doesn't Mom recognize us? And why's she calling herself Ann Chovy? That's not her name. What's wrong with her?"

Chase was more angry than sad. "She must be under a spell, like you and Pie Tin were."

Kayla shook her head. "But even when we were under Glutton control, we still knew who you were."

Chase growled. "No, trust me, this is a spell alright. I've seen it before. King Gorge did the same thing to Tureen. He erased all her memories and hypnotized her. The same thing must have happened to Mom. She's forgotten about her old life and thinks she's loyal to the Gluttons."

Albert looked determine. "Chef Jack is my hero. After everything he's done for me, the least I could do is break the spell on his wife. Chase, I promise you that I'm going to save your mother!"

Ann Chovy laughed. "Foolish boy. I don't need saving. I'm not who you think I am. Now then, if you can all stop pretending that I'm someone I'm not, lets finish this battle."

The Chocolate Bunnies came together, melted down, and became one again. It hopped over to S'moregesborg, who began spraying him with melted chocolate. Chocolate Bunny began growing at an alarming rate, becoming twice its normal size in no time.

"Cowboyritto, stop them!" Albert cried.

"Yee-ha!"

The Burrito Foodon threw his newly tied lasso. It wrapped around S'moregesborg's neck. He was lifted up and slammed down repeatedly. While he was being lifted up for another pounding, he threw his graham cracker top. Cowboyritto ducked, and the graham cracker flew over his head.

With one final boost of strength, Cowboyritto lifted S'moregesborg up one last time and brought him down. S'moregesborg dissolved into mist when he came crashing down again.

"Yee-ha!" Cowboyritto cheered.

A moment later he had the air crushed out of him as Waferior picked him up, squeezing him in a bear hug.

"Waferior." The Wafer Foodon growled, squeezing tighter.

"Spaghettaboutit!"

The Spaghetti Foodon came to his rescue. Jumping up, he kicked Waferior in the side. Waferior stumbled, but it was enough to achieve Spaghettaboutit's goal. S'moregesborg's graham cracker top was coming back like a Frisbee, cutting right through Waferior. The Wafer Foodon exploded in a cloud of purple smoke, leaving behind his cut in half Meal Ticket.

Cowboyritto nodded in thanks to Spaghettaboutit, then they turned to Crab Quake. The Crab Cake Foodon was in trouble. Chocolate Bunny was standing over him, bringing his large foot down on his back repeatedly.

Cowboyritto threw his lasso as Spaghettaboutit fired his Linguini Lassos. They each roped one of Chocolate Bunny's ears and pulled. Chocolate Bunny stumbled backwards as his ears were pulled in two different directions. He immediately melted himself, getting free from his bindings, and solidified again.

It was enough time for Crab Quake to get to his feet and launch missiles at the Chocolate Foodon. Chocolate Bunny was blown to pieces. Each one becoming a miniature Chocolate Bunny.

Albert's three Foodons went on attacking each individual Chocolate Bunny. They simply broke apart and multiplied. Two became four, four became eight, eight became sixteen, etc. Finally, when there were 128 Chocolate Bunnies, some no bigger than an inch, they began dying. As they were struck, rather than breaking apart and multiplying, the exploded in a puff of smoke.

"Crab Quake!"

When they Crab Cake Foodon saw this, he began launching missiles in the air. His ammunition rained down from the sky, blowing away most of them.

Finally, only one remained. Cowboyritto caught it in his lasso and began spinning it around. Spaghettaboutit threw his lark fork. It struck the Chocolate Bunny, and it vanished, leaving behind its Meal Ticket.

Ann Chovy gazed at the battlefield in complete disbelief. "It… can't be…" She fell to her knees. "My Foodons have never failed me before. How could they… lose to a brat like him?"

Albert pointed an accusing finger at her. "I'll tell you why you lost. It's because you're not yourself. If you were the old you, the real wife of Chef Jack, my Foodons never would have been able to win."

Ann Chovy glared at him defiantly. "I am not who you think I am!"

Albert sighed and turned to his friends. "Hey, Chase, you better find a way to break the spell on her."

"Already on it!" Chase cried, as he cooked on the M.A.C. Cart's kitchen. "One order of fried rice!" He held the plate out to Ann Chovy. "Here, try this."

Ann Chovy glared at him. "Never! I'll never eat that disgusting slop! I only eat Glutton made food. And nothing you prepare could be even a fraction as good as my master's."

This is what she was saying, yet when the delicious aroma of Chase's fried rice reached her nose, she found herself subconsciously taking a step towards him.

"Never, no way. I won't eat it." She was getting closer, her hands reaching out to take the plate, yet pulling back. "I… don't want to eat it… but it… smells so good."

Chase handed her a spoon, and, before she even realized what she was doing, Ann Chovy had scooped up a spoonful of rice. She brought it to her mouth, then pulled it away, then brought it to her mouth, and pulled it away again.

"Won't… eat… it…"

And she put the spoon in her mouth, her eyes squeezed tightly shut. For a few seconds, she didn't move. Then her eyes snapped open wide.

"So… good…" She ate more. "Absolutely delicious." Another spoonful. "I've never eaten fried rice this good."

She began shoveling rice into her mouth, barely taking the time to taste it in her haste to eat more. In no time at all, her plate was clean, not a single grain of rice remained.

"That was incredible." She sighed. She moaned, rubbing her head. "I feel kind of funny. It's like I'm… waking up from a dream… Wait, I remember now. Chase, Kayla, my children!"

"Mommy!" Kayla cried, running to the older woman.

Mrs. Makunouchi embraced her daughter. "Oh, my baby. Look how much you've grown. I can't believe I haven't seen you in over a year. How could I have forgotten about you and your brother? How could I work for the Gluttons?"

"It's ok, Mom." Chase told her, wiping tears from his eyes. "The spell's broken. You're back to normal."

"Oh, Chase!" Mrs. Makunouchi cried, pulling him into a hug.

The Burnt Meatballs watched the display of affection with tears in their eyes. "This is wonderful. Master has his family back. I'm so happy for him."

"Us too!" cried the others.

Coco and Albert were getting all giddy.

"Hey, Mrs. Makunouchi, my name's Albert. I'm your husband's biggest fan. He's my hero."

"And I'm Coco. I'm going to be your daughter-in-law one day."

Pie Tin came up behind them and whacked them both over the head. "Give them a minute, will you. Geez."

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

Up on the top floor, Don Cook and his remaining servants watched the family reunion.

Rose Marinade wiped a tear from her eyes. "That's so sweet." She embraced Don Cook tightly. "Motherly love is a powerful thing!"

Don Cook aggressively pushed her off him. "As I am forced to experience everyday."

Cinnamonkey turned to his master. "So what's the plan now?"

Don Cook's eyes settled on him. "We proceed as usual."

"But we lost Ann Chovy." Clawdia pointed out.

Mussels Marinara rolled his eyes. "Did you figure that out on your own?"

Don Cook ignored them. "Next they will have to face me. And my father taught me everything I know. And with the Foodons I have, they won't stand a chance."

(A/N: How touching. I'd forgotten that Ann Chovy was Chase and Kayla's mother under a spell. I don't think they ever mentioned her, so I was curious.)

S'moregesborg – Food: s'mores. His name is a pun on smorgasbord.

Chocolate Bunny – Food: chocolate bunny.

Waferior – Food: wafer cookies. His name is a pun on inferior.
