Foodvengers: Guardians of Grub
Chapter Two:
Stunned, the Foodvengers looked up. The frozen artichoke was staring down at them, unblinking. No one knew what to say. They were all embarrassed by being caught by a spy.
Without warning, the artichoke rolled away. "GET HIM!" shouted Captain Apple. The Foodvengers charged! As they picked up more and more momentum, the wall of the fridge grew closer and closed. "We're going to crash!" cried Stroganoff. Just as they were about to give up, Corn noticed a crack in the fridge wall. As his teammates fell back, he kept pursuing the artichoke until it slipped through the crack.
The artichoke disappeared behind the fridge wall, unaware of its follower. Corn approached the place where the artichoke had disappeared. There was nothing on the wall but a small crack, but as soon as touched it, the entire wall succumbed and fell backward. A dark, moldy room was revealed. The artichoke had stopped in the middle of the room. It looked back at Corn with a mixture of shock, confusion, anger, and fear.
"FREEZE!" screamed Corn. "Just what do you think you're doing? I know you heard us back there. Well, here's the cold truth: your life means nothing to me! I could kill you on the spot and go on living my life. But before I proceed, I would like to know a little more about the Cold Ones. If you tell me what I want, you just might get to see them again!"
As he spoke, something moved behind the artichoke. A shadow appeared. The one and only DiGiorno stepped out from the back of the room.
"Good work, agent," said DiGiorno to the artichoke. "You are dismissed." The frozen vegetable rolled out of the room, back to the freezer. "As for you," DiGiorno said coolly to Corn. "You must stay. Why, it's been ages since I last saw you! Come, let us chat." Reluctantly, Corn rolled towards DiGiorno. The two foods paused and looked each other in the eye. Finally, Corn broke the silence. "What were you hoping to discuss? I'm all ears."
