Peppino Spaghetti, the Italian chef, looked at the empty tables in his restaurant with a sigh. "Oh, Peppino, what-a are-a you-a going to-a do? You owe-a lot-a of money to-a the bank and if you-a don't pay, you'll get-a bankrupt," he said to himself in his thick Italian accent.

He paced back and forth in the kitchen, thinking hard. "I-a need to come-a up with something, something big, something that will-a make people come back to my restaurant," he muttered.

As he was lost in thought, he accidentally dropped a jar of tomato sauce on the floor, splattering it all over his shoes. "Mamma Mia! What-a mess!" he exclaimed, shaking his head.

He cleaned the mess and then sat at a table looking at his broken piggy bank and the debt paper.

"I'm-a so-a screwed" Peppino said defeated.

While Peppino was thinking how to solve his debt sitting at a table, Pizzaface broke through the wall.

Peppino was so startled that he fell off his chair and landed on the floor. He quickly got up, dusted himself off, and stared at the giant hole in the wall that Pizzaface had created.

Peppino: "What-a da heck-a?! Who-a are-a you-a, and what-a do you-a want-a?!"

Pizzaface: "I am Pizzaface, the greatest pizza in the world! And I have come to destroy your pizzeria for no damn reason!"

Peppino: "You-a can't-a do-a that! This-a is-a my-a life's-a work-a! And I-a have-a debts-a to-a pay-a!"

Pizzaface: "I don't care about your debts! All I care about is making you suffer, and I will do it through blowing up your pizzeria with a laser at the top of the The Pizza Tower"

Peppino: "Oh-a no! You won't get away-a with this, Pizzaface!"

Pizzaface: "Ha! And what are you going to do about it, little chef?"

Peppino: "I'll kick your cheesy ass"

Pizzaface laughed menacingly as he approached Peppino. "You're nothing but a powerless chef. You can't even afford to pay your debts, let alone stop me from destroying your precious pizzeria."

Peppino: "what did you say to me you littl-"

Pizzaface: "YOU'RE NOTHING" Pizzaface yelled with a demonic pizza face making Peppino yell in fear

Peppino: "YAAAHHHHHHHHHH"

Peppino was trembling with fear, but he knew he couldn't let Pizzaface destroy his dream, his life's work, his pizzeria. He took a deep breath and stood up, staring straight into the eyes of his enemy.

"You-a may think I'm-a nothing, Pizzaface," he said, his voice quivering with determination, "but I-a won't let-a you-a destroy everything I've-a worked for-a. I'll-a stop you-a, no-a matter what."

Pizzaface chuckled. "You? Stop me? That's hilarious!" he exclaimed. "You can't even make a decent pizza!"

Peppino gritted his teeth. He knew Pizzaface was right - his pizzeria was struggling, and his debts were piling up. But he wasn't going to let Pizzaface get the best of him. He had to think of a plan, and fast.

As Pizzaface hovered around him, taunting him, Peppino's mind raced. And then it hit him - he had to climb the Pizza Tower, defeat the bosses, and face Pizzaface himself at the top. It was a crazy plan, but it was his only hope.

Without another word, Peppino bolted through the door towards the entrance of the Pizza Tower, knocking Gustavo over in the process. "Sorry, Gustavo!" he called over his shoulder as he ran to the entrance determined to save his pizzeria from certain doom.
