Lucy had an important visitor coming. She was making sure that everything was perfect around her place, especially since she was home alone. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for this special visitor she was having.

"Remind me, who are you getting ready for?" Stella asked.

"An old friend of my father's. His name is Yajima." Lucy said. "He's coming to Paris to enter this cooking competition. My father invited him to stay here. I just hope things go well. I don't even know this guy that well. The last time I saw this man was probably when I was only about three."

"I'm sure everything will be fine." Stella said. Lucy hoped so, but she was a little unsure that things were going to go well. She got a little anxious when they heard a knock on the door. Stella moved fast as she found a place to hide. She readied herself for whoever this Yajima was as she opened the door.

"Hello." Lucy said, but she didn't see anyone.

"Hello. Down here." Lucy looked down and was met with a short old man dressed as a chef with a hat and everything.

"Oh! Sorry. I didn't see you." Lucy said. "You must be Mr. Yajima."

"And you must be Lucy. You've grown quite into a charming young lady since the last time I saw you." Yajima said.

"Please, come in." Lucy said as she allowed him to come in her place. She reached for a bouquet of flowers and handed them to him. "Here these are for you."

"Thank you." Yajima said as he took the flowers. He gave them a good sniff and was fascinated by the scent. He took some of the petal and pulled them off. Lucy didn't like the looks of that.

"So, what brings you to Paris? What's this cooking competition you're entering?" Lucy said.

"It's being held at the Allard Hotel." Yajima said. "If I win, my dish will be added to their menu. It will be great for my restaurant back home."

"Allard Hotel? That means Taylor will be there." Lucy said as she wasn't excited about that. Other than that, Lucy didn't really know what to say around the man. It was awkward situation for her and didn't know what to do. When her phone went off, she excused herself to answer to see it was Levy.

"Hey, Lucy. You want to catch a movie?" Levy asked.

"I can't, Levy." Lucy said. "A friend of my father's is here and I'm playing hostess. The problem is I don't know what to say to this guy."

"I think I might have an idea to fix that. If there's someone else there who won't get awkward about the situation, it will be easier." Levy said.

"I guess that would be okay. Just please hurry." Lucy said. With Levy's idea in mind, all Lucy can do is wait. The two of them just waited around and it was so awkward for them. Lucy felt a huge sigh of relief when she heard a knock on the door and hurried to it. "Levy, I'm so glad that you're here." She said when she opened the door, but it wasn't Levy.

"Hey, Lucy." Natsu said since it was him at the door. Not what Lucy was expecting.

"Natsu?! What are you doing here?!" Lucy said.

"Levy called me and said you needed a little help with a situation. Here I am." Natsu said. Not what Lucy was expecting at all. It certainly didn't help when Levy sent her a text that said she owed Levy.

"Lucy, is everything okay?" Yajima asked.

"Hello." Natsu said as he introduced himself. "I'm a friend of Lucy's. I heard you need a lift to the Allard Hotel. If you want, I can give you a ride. You can arrive in style since we'll be taking a limo."

"Oh! That does sound rather nice." Yajima said. Who could refuse riding in a limo. With Lucy coming along, the three of them went to Natsu's limo and was heading for the hotel.

...

The Limo

"So, are you excited for this competition?" Natsu asked as the three of them were riding towards the contest.

"Indeed I am. I'm sure I can win as well." Yajima said.

"What are you entering?" Natsu asked.

"You'll just have to wait and see." Yajima said. "I promise that you both may have taste of it when the contest is over. Believe me, when you have a taste, you'll love it like everyone else." It certainly did sound like it could be exciting. They pulled up to the hotel and there were lights and cameras going off.

"Welcome to Master Chef!" Chapti said as he was the one broadcasting for this competition. "We've had several entries. We'll soon see how our next contestant does. In fact, here he comes now." They all made way for Yajima with Lucy and Natsu joining him. "Mr. Yajima, we're glad you could make it."

"Thank you. I'm glad to be here myself." Yajima said.

"So, what dish will you be entering?" Chapti asked.

"It is called Moon Soup. Trust me when I tell you that it will taste heavenly." Yajima said. The sound of that alone sounded good. Yajima went on ahead to get his soup ready and left Natsu and Lucy alone in the lobby.

"Natsu, I do want to say thank you for coming along." Lucy said.

"No problem." Natsu said.

"It's just sort of awkward around Mr. Yajima. I'm not really sure what to say to him." Lucy said. "I'm not really sure he likes me. He even tore apart the flowers I gave him."

"Don't be silly." Natsu said. "In fact, Yajima told me he was planning to use these flowers he got to help in his soup. I bet the flowers he mentioned were the ones you gave him. He's using your gift in his special soup. You should feel honored." Lucy didn't think about it like that. When she did, she actually felt flattered.

"Oh please. As if he can really win with soup?" Just like that, the happiness was gone because Taylor came in. "It's not even a real dish. It's just some appetizer or whatever. There's no way he can win with it because I don't like soup."

"What does it matter if you like it or not?" Lucy said.

"Actually it does. I happen to be one of the judges." Taylor said. "There's no way the old geezer is going to win with his soup. Can't he just make sushi like anyone else?"

"You're not the only judge, Taylor. There are four other judges." Natsu said. "Your score alone might not be enough to have him fail."

"Besides, Mr. Yajima might be Japanese, but Japanese quiseen isn't just sushi." Lucy said. "I guess it would be hard for you to understand. You can't appreciate art and beauty beyond your own nose."

"I can't?" Taylor said as she took some offense to that.

"You claim you know about style, class, and taste... I don't see it." Lucy said.

"You're going to regret talking to me like that." Taylor said and stormed off. When Taylor makes a threat like that, she sees through with it.

...

Yajima

Yajima was in the kitchen and was getting things ready for his soup. He took the ingredients and dropped it all in a pot. He might be short and need a stand to work some over the utensils and utilities, but he appears to know what he's doing. Yajima is even more confident that he can win this competition. He even used the flowers in his soup like Natsu said.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yajima." Taylor said as she came in the kitchen. "I just saw Lucy outside. She's looking for you."

"Is she?" Yajima said. He stepped away from his soup and went looking for Lucy. That gave Taylor the chance to put her plan in action. She took everything she could get a hold off and dumped it all in the soup. She thinks this will teach Lucy to talk back to her. When Yajima came back, she stopped what she was doing. "She wasn't out there."

"No speak Japanese." Taylor said as she left the kitchen and Yajima never suspected a thing.

...

The Competition

"We're back!" Chapti said. "We're going to see if Mr. Yajima has what it takes to be Master Chef. I myself will be one of the judges. The other judges shall be Mayor Allard himself, his daughter Taylor, Erik Cobra, and the head-chef of this fine hotel, Cindy McGarden. Let's see if Mr. Yajima can make the cut."

"Here you go. Moon Soup." Yajima said as he served his soup to all of them. He served them purple soup with a moon inside them and topped it with a flower in the center. Natsu and Lucy supported him. As the others took a taste, Taylor just sat back and waited for the catastrophe.

"Oh my! I'm sorry, but I don't think this would be good for my guests." Aidan said. "I give it a two out of ten."

"I'm not even tempted to eat it. I give it a big zero." Taylor said.

"No rock star would eat this. I give it a one out of ten." Erik said.

"I'm sorry, but it's not edible. I give it one out of ten as well." Cindy, a woman dressed as a fellow cook with blue hair tied back, said. Yajima was quite shocked that none of them liked his best dish.

"Sorry, Mr. Yajima. I give it a zero out of ten too. That brings your total score of four." Chapti said. Yajima didn't understand what was going on. He took a taste himself and it tasted awful and repulsive.

"This isn't right! This not my soup! I don't know what happened!" Yajima said. Taylor was satisfied with what happened as she just walked away with a smirk. That convinced Lucy.

"I know Taylor had something to do with this." Lucy said.

"I like to say you're wrong, but it does sound like something she would do." Natsu said. Yajima was greatly upset and humiliated. He thought he had the competition, but he lost it all. This could also ruin his restaurant.

"Mr. Yajima, I'm sorry. This is all because of Taylor, and I provoked her." Lucy said.

"No. The loss is mine." Yajima said as he continued to sulk as he went back into the kitchen.

"Let's give him some time." Natsu said. The two of them walked out of there and left him alone. However, there is one person that can get some use out of it.

...

Black Wizard

"Feeling humiliated as well as your reputation ruined... I can see a recipe for disaster, and it smells so good." Black Wizard said as he put his plan into action. He gave an etherious dark power and unleashed it into Paris. "Fly, my evil etherious. Let's help this chef cook up some trouble!"

...

Yajima

Yajima was sulking about his defeat. He tried to figure out what went wrong. He soon spotted all the ingredients he never put in and figured out who did this.

"Lucy was right. That little brat ruined my soup." Yajima said as sadness turned to rage. That made it even better for the etherious as it went into his chef's hat.

"Master Chef, I'm Black Wizard. I'll help you become the greatest chef of all time. Those who have tasted your cooking will become your warriors, but you'll have to do something for me in return. What do you say?"

"Tell me what you want and I'll serve it." Yajima said as he gave in and became a new villain. Just outside the kitchen, it was just as Black Wizard had given him. Those who have eaten his soup experienced terrible stomachaches and soon fell under his control as their eyes turned red.

"Yeah, I like some real Japanese food." Taylor said as she was making an order, but her phone was grabbed out of her hands and thrown away. She turned around and saw the three new servants of Master Chef. "Back off! You all know who my father is!" She warned, but even her father was under his control as he grabbed a hold of her.

...

The Roof

Taylor was being suspended over the pool with it boiling soup. A new dish was being made.

"Get me down from here! These fumes will ruin my hair and clothes!" Taylor said as she was trying to get out of there. She heard laughter and was met with the head-chef. Master Chef was much bigger and muscular with his skin a grey-color. He had long black hair with the small mustache and wore the chef's hat. He also wore sandals with red tights.

"It will soon be time to enter my main ingredient for Brat Soup." Master Chef said as he laughed in the delight of her misery. "Let's make sure no one leaves the table. Cut off all exits!"

"Yes, Master Chef!" All four of them said. They took giant barrels and poured a substance down all entrances.

...

Natsu and Lucy

Natsu and Lucy saw light being blocked out. They looked and saw the exit being blocked off.

"What is that stuff?" Lucy asked. Some of it seeped inside. Natsu took a sample of it and had a taste of it.

"Caramel. It's delicious, but hard to break. Looks like we might be trapped here." Natsu said.

"Mr. Yajima is still upstairs! He might be in trouble!" Lucy said.

"I'll go get him!" Natsu said as he hurried up the stairs. Just when he lost, Lucy spotted flying pieces of yolk. They acted like cameras and showed footage of Master Chef.

"I'm afraid no one is leaving before the main course can be served." Master Chef said. "You all shall remain here until I finish my new soup. It will be quite delicious." When Lucy got a good look at him, as well as hearing him talk, she figured out who Master Chef really was.

"Yajima! I wouldn't have provoked Taylor if I knew this was going to happen." Lucy said as she took cover to transform and let Stella out. "Let's go, Stella. We've got to stop this meal from being served. Stella, Twinkle!" Stella was pulled into her earrings and transformed into Celestria. As for Natsu, he dived through a door so he could transform.

"Looks like someone is hungry for a fight." Natsu said.

"With all this talk about food, there better be some meat around." Igneel said.

"You and your stomach." Natsu said with laughter. "Igneel, Fire Up!" Igneel was pulled in the ring with Natsu becoming Salamondra. When both of them transformed, they jumped in the lobby and were surprised to see each other.

"Salamondra?" Celestria said.

"Celestria! I was hoping to take you out for a nice meal." Salamondra said.

"Well, we better get the best table." Celestria said with the two of them hurrying to the elevators.

...

Master Chef

Master Chef was keeping an eye on what was going on in the hotel. It didn't take him long for to see Salamondra and Celestria were coming to ruin his dish too.

"Who are those two?!" Master Chef said.

"Celestria and Salamondra." Black Wizard told him in his head. "If you want to be the best chef forever, you need to bring me their miraculous."

"Superhero ingredients? My soup will benefit from that." Master Chef said.

"I will not eat your soup!" Taylor said.

"Foolish girl. You won't be eating soup. You will BECOME my soup! You're the main ingredient!" Master Chef said. Taylor didn't like the sound of that at all. "You! Go give our special visitors a warm welcome!" He said as pointed to Erik.

"Yes, Master Chef!" Erik said and took off like a ninja.

...

The Lobby

Celestria and Salamondra waited for the elevator to come down. When it did, Erik showed up and was carrying a large sword made out of seafood.

"Care to dine on some rocking seafood?" Erik said.

"Erik Cobra?" Celestria said as she wondered what he was doing. He took his weapon and swung it around to try and strike them down. Salamondra tried meeting his attacks as the two of them clashed their weapons against each other. When Erik swung his blade down, Salamondra held up his staff to hold it back. Celestria opened a closet door for the next move. He placed his foot against Erik and fell back as he tossed Erik into the closet. Celestria closed it and placed a chair against it to keep it locked.

"And they say fish is good for you." Salamondra said.

"Why don't we complain to the chef." Celestria said. They both jumped inside the elevator and made their way up.

...

Master Chef

"Fool." Master Chef said as he saw Erik failed to capture them. "Well, this is just the appetizer. Next warrior, go!"

"Yes, Master Chef!" Aidan said as he was the next one to move out.

...

Celestria and Salamondra

"I'm telling you, Celestria. You and me can go places." Salamondra said as he tried flirting with her, but she didn't appear to be interested.

"Like up." Celestria said.

"Up, down, sideways, or wherever you like." Salamondra said. The elevator stopped and they were met with Aidan and him having his own food weapon.

"Would you like potatoes and sausage?" Aidan said as he took had a morning star made out of that food. He twirled it around, but the two of them rolled out of the way. Aidan did managed to get his morning star around Salamondra and threw him against Celestria. He tossed them into one of the suites.

"Don't we get some butter or bread to go with that at least?" Salamondra asked. Aidan kept twirling his morning star around with Celestria and Salamondra backing away. "Any ideas before we're cooked?" Celestria looked around and spotted something that could work.

"You're pretty good with that, Mayor Allard, but can you do this?" Celestria said. She took her whip and did some fancy tricks. She twirled from side to side and finished it by throwing it up.

"Child's play." Aidan said. He did the same movements as Celestria, but when he tossed it up, it got caught in the chandelier. He tried pulling it free, but it caused the chandelier to break off and fall right on him.

"Sorry. A chandelier falling isn't part of the trick." Celestria said. The two of them continued to make their way up.

...

Master Chef

Master Chef was growing rather impatient. He wants his superhero ingredients and he wants them now.

"If one won't do, I'll just have to go with two." Master Chef said. "Both of you get down there and get my ingredients." Cindy and Chapti did what they were told and went to face them. As for Taylor, she kept trying to get out of the predicament she was in.

"Get me down from here!" Taylor demanded.

"Don't worry. You'll be free soon enough...when you're placed in my soup." Master Chef said.

"Celestria, save me!" Taylor shouted.

...

Celestria and Salamondra

Celestria and Salamondra continued to make their way up to the roof. They soon arrived in the built-in restaurant. When they got there, Chapti and Cindy were waiting for them with food weapons of their own.

"Welcome. Say hello to the blue cheese bombs sided with candy arrows." Chapti said. He took a crossbow and fired a block of cheese at them. They both jumped out of the way as the cheese exploded like a smoke bomb. Cindy took arrows made out of candy and acted like an archer. She chased after Celestria as she fired the arrows at her, but Celestria twirled her whip around to block the attacks. As for Chapti, he chased after Salamondra and kept firing cheese bombs at him. He avoided the cheese, but did get a whiff of the cheese smoke.

"Oh man..." Salamondra said. "Not only does this cheese stink, it stings the eyes." The two of them kept trying to attack the two heroes, but time was wasting. All it took was a look for both heroes to know what to do. Chapti fired another cheese at Salamondra, but he hit it like a baseball. The cheese flew to Cindy and exploded against her to knock her down. When Chapti turned there, Celestria attacked him by giving him a strong kick that knocked him out.

"That was all appetizing, but I think it's time we get straight to the main course." Celestria said.

"After you, my little star." Salamondra said. The two of them got moving and they soon made their way to the top as they were finally faced with Master Chef.

"About time. Get me down from here before this soup ruins my outfit!" Taylor demanded.

"I suppose this is what I get for using beginning chefs." Master Chef said. "Now watch and see what a master can do!" He made a few martial art poses as he was ready for a fight.

"I'm guessing the etherious is in that hat of his." Celestria said.

"Get Taylor down. I'll hold him off." Salamondra said. Celestria tried going for Taylor as Salamondra was ready for a fight, but Master Chef was faster. He smashed his foot against Salamondra and knocked him back. He did multiple flips as he cut Celestria off. He grabbed her and twirled her around like pizza doe before he threw her near Salamondra.

"You're about to have your last meal. Give me those miraculous while you still can." Master Chef said.

"Not yet. There's still one more touch to add. Open the Celestial Gate" Celestria used her power and ended up being a bowling ball. She had to move out of the way before it fell on her. "A Taurus bowling ball? I hope I can get a strike." She said as she lifted it. She looked around to see how she can use it. She spotted the post holding Taylor, the boiling soup, and Master Chef's foot. "Do you think you can try to hold him off a little longer?"

"Without feeling like a stomped grape? I'll try." Salamondra said. He held out his staff and went on the attack as he tried to fight him off. Celestria moved as fast as she could. She used her whip and swung over to Taylor. She grabbed a hold of her and was able to get her off.

"Finally." Taylor said. Celestria saw Salamondra was grabbed by Master Chef and lifted off the ground. Celestria acted fast as she threw the bowling ball in the soup. Some of the soup splashed out and splashed against Master Chef's foot.

"Aaaawwww!" Master Chef shouted as he hopped around holding his burned foot. Celestria used her whip and grabbed his hat while he was distracted. When she pulled it towards him, she ripped the hat apart with the etherious flying out.

"No more evildoing for you, little etherious." Celestria said as she activated her whip. "Time to de-evillize!" She swung the whip and was able to catch it. "Gotcha! Bye-Bye little guy." She released it with the white etherious flying out. "Miraculous Starlight!" She tossed the bowling ball into the air and unleashed the stars that restored all the damage and broke Master Chef's spell. Master Chef was also reverted back to Yajima.

"Pound it!" They heroes celebrated.

...

Black Wizard

"Uragh! You can't win every time, Celestria." Black Wizard said. "They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Well, it will be very cold when I get my hands on you."

...

The Kitchen

"Can you teach me to make Moon Soup?" Lucy asked as Yajima was preparing a new dish.

"I'd be happy to." Yajima said.

"All's well that ends well." Natsu said as he was glad to see things were back to normal.

"Seriously? I keep telling you that I don't like soup." Taylor said with annoyance as she came in.

"Too bad." Natsu said. "You didn't take into account that there was security footage of you going in the kitchen. We were able to figure out what really happened." Taylor felt busted now. "Mr. Yajima's been given another chance to serve his dish, and you won't be able to judge it this time. I think we should let the real judges decided how his soup tastes." Taylor could see she wasn't going to get her way this time. Without her to interfere, Yajima was able to complete his soup the right way and served it to the judges. All of them loved it.

"Mr. Yajima, your soup gets a perfect score!" Chapti said with everyone cheering for him. "You are the next master chef. As a reward, Moon Soup will be added to the hotel's menu."

"Thank you, but I think I'm going to rename it Lucy Soup." Yajima said. Lucy felt so flattered that he was renaming the soup in her honor.

"Come get in the photo." Chapti said. Lucy joined in with Yajima in the photo with him being immortalized as one of the best chefs around. Victory with a smile is probably one of the best dishes around.
