MK P.O.V
I was out delivering noodles as usual; I was listening to my music and while I was heading to the customer's home address, when suddenly I was surrounded by Speedy Panda
"Uh... Oh boy" Then I got beat up by them and they even destroyed the customer's order
"I had it up to here with those Speedy Panda Delivery brick heads! They've been sabotaging me all week!" I shouted as I placed an ice pack on my face and Sakura patching up my arm
"I don't understand why they're even doing this, but they really did take it too far on beating you up" Sakura said as she finished patching me up
"Those punks with that flash frozen microwave junk! Convenience can never replace a traditional home cooked family recipe" Pigsy said as he looked at the pictures that he has on the wall
"Yeah, but they do it quicker" I said and Pigsy glared at me "All I'm saying is... Maybe you could afford to pick up the pace"
"Pick up the pace? You're the delivery climber, you pick up the pace! Every noodle from Pigsy's Noodle Shop is hand crafted from scratch with love and care. It's what our customers have come to expect" Pigsy said
"Don't you worry about me Pigsy. I'm a loyal customer" Tang said
"More like a loyal freeloader" Pigsy said with a deadpanned look, making Tang gasped
"I'm telling you Pigsy if something doesn't change, we're gonna be run out of business!" I said as I jumped on the counter
"MK, can you please get down from the counter?" Sakura asked me softly
"You two don't get it, except for Sakura. I pour my heart into this place, from the pots to the utensils even my grandmother's antique windows" Pigsy said as he closed the window, and a brick broke the window
"Oh no, not your grandmother's window Uncle Pigsy! Huh? The brick has a note attached to it" Sakura said as she handed Pigsy the note
"Hmm. Attention Pigsy's Noodles, prepare for your worst nightmare! We challenge you to Food Wars to determine which restaurant truly reign supreme. Signed Speedy Panda" Tang read the note out loud
"So... Someone gonna tell me what the dunk what Food Wars is?" I asked and Pigsy is surrounded by fire as he started to explain about what Food Wars
"Food Wars, the ultimate arena for chefs who dook it out! Where the victors are hailed supreme above all others! Speedy Panda, I accept your challenge!" Pigsy said
"Pigsy is really getting pumped up, huh?" I said to Sakura
"I know, when it comes to cooking competitions, he gets like this" Sakura said and she sighed "I hope the war gets sorted out soon, I can't imagine what would happen if I was beaten up"
When Sakura said those words, Pigsy, Tang and I tensed up when Sakura said that. Seeing Sakura getting beat up by those punks without a care
"As if I'll let them hurt you! If they ever laid a finger on you, I'll make them regret it!" I said
"That's agreeable! As if we'll let them lay a hand on you!" Tang yelled and Pigsy nodded
No One P.O.V At Food Wars Arena
"Welcome one and all to Food Wars! Today, two teams will compete in three rounds in food combat in order to be crowned supreme restaurant champion! Introducing first is Pigsy's Noodle shop, Pigsy and his assistant MK!" The MC announced as Pigsy and MK were shown
"Hey, Pigsy. Where's Sakura?" MK whispered to Pigsy
"To be honest with you kid, I have no idea" Pigsy admitted
"And their opponents, Speedy Panda and it's owners, these guys!" The MC announced revealing the Gold and Silver demons Jin and Yin
"Remember us monkey boy?" Jin asked
"We're your worst nightmare, Jin and Yin! The Gold and Silver demons!" The two announced
"I'm sorry, who?" MK asked
"I don't even know you guys! What do you got against my restaurant?!" Pigsy asked
Then the two demons started to explain their plan on shutting down Pigsy's shop, if the shop goes out of business, then MK is out of a job, if he's out of a job then he'll starve. Which gives them the opportunity to defeat him once and for all. Of course, Pigsy didn't like the idea of his shop closing down, so he's gonna win the competition to keep his shop opened
"It is now time for round one! The competitors will have to gather all the ingredients they need and race from the food wars ultimate pantry to their respective kitchens at the center of the course. In 3"
"2"
"1' Then the competition has begun. Pigsy started gathering all the ingredients he needs for his noodles, once he got them all, he tossed them all to MK who fell to the ground when he was unable to catch the ingredients. While Gold and Silver demons gave their driver a microwaved meal and took off. When MK managed to pick up all the ingredients, he drove off to catch up and they started bumping into each other. When MK thought he was gonna win the first round, he was trampled by other drivers of Speedy Panda, making team Speedy Panda win the first round
"In round 2, competitors will put their culinary prowess to the test in a cookoff! With the winner being chosen by a panel of furiously selected judges!" The MC said
Pigsy was making the noodles with MK helping, Pigsy was also working on the broth as well. MK set out three bowls for the noodles to be in and now they're waiting for the broth to be finished
"Pigsy! We gotta move!" MK said
"I told you MK, good food takes time" Pigsy said he took a sip from the broth "Just need to add one more ingredient" Then Jin accidentally dropped a bottle into the broth, thinking they sabotaged it, but they actually added what was missing. Pigsy added the broth into the bowls and went to the judging table as the gong was heard
"And that's the timer! Both competitors must now present their culinary creations to our panel of judges! Introducing out first judge, Princess Iron Fan!" The wind revealed Princess Iron Fan
"Ah, you've come to tussle with the champ?" MK asked
"Oh please, like I have the energy to waste on you Noodle Boy. I'm here to settle a debt and that's all. I knew I shouldn't have made that blood oath" Princess Iron Fan said
"Our second judge, she is the queen of making sweets and a diamond in the rough, Sakura!" The MC announced as the curtain rose up to show Sakura, who gave the audience a sweet smile and a small wave
"Hello everyone! I'm happy to be here today!" Sakura said and some of the guys had hearts in their eyes
"Sakura?! You're one of the judges?!" MK exclaimed and she nodded
"Yes. Actually, those two demons asked me if I could be the judge for the competition. I'm actually quite excited for this" Sakura said as she took a seat and saw Princess Iron Fan
"Hello daughter in law, it's nice to see you again"
"Princess Iron Fan, it's nice to see you too. How's the family?"
"They're doing alright. It's a shame my son didn't come along, he would love to see you again" Princess Iron Fan said and a tornado of flames appeared behind them
"Cherry Blossom!" Red Son appeared, picked Sakura up and placed her on his lap
"Red Son, it's nice to see again" Sakura said with a smile and Red Son nuzzled against her cheek
"Hey! Stop flirting with Sakura!" MK yelled sounding jealous, but Red Son ignored him
"Our third judge, and apparently a fan favorite, this guy!" The lights revealed Tang
"Thanks for having me! Great to be here!" Tang said and Pigsy looked nervous
"Uh... Pigsy? You okay?" MK asked and realized about why Pigsy is nervous "Oh. You're probably worried he's gonna vote against you as some form of revenge cause you always treat him like garbage all the time. Right? Is that it?"
"Would you shush!" Pigsy said
"First up is Speedy Panda with what looks like an assortment of mushy dim sum filled with..."
"Mystery meat" Jin said
"With a side of fried spring rolls, topped with whatever sauce was in this packet. It's edible" Yin said as he tossed the packet away
"I'll take your word for it" Princess Iron Fan said as she rolled over the dim sum with a look of disgust
"As if I'll let my bride eat this!" Red Son said as he burned the meal, Tang grabbed the dim sum and took a bite, but a minute later he vomited his guts out
"Uncle Tang, are you okay?" Sakura asked worriedly for her uncle
"I-I'll be fine... Just give me a moment" Tang said as he continued to vomit
"The judges aren't giving anything away! Now onto Pigsy's Noodles with what looks like..."
"Family recipe: Xingxiang pulled noodle soup, Qing man young!" Pigsy said
Tang was the first one to eat the noodles (cause we all know, he can't say no to free food), Sakura ate some of the noodles as well and offered some to Red Son try, with a red look on Red Son's face, he ate some of the noodles from Sakura's chopsticks. Finally, Princess Iron Fan took a tiny piece of the noodles and based on the look on her face, she really enjoyed the flavor, but she ended up voting for Speedy Panda. Next, it was Sakura's turn to give judgment
"My vote goes to Pigsy's Noodles! My uncle's noodles are the best food in the whole world!" Sakura said making her uncle feel touched about her words. Now, Tang is the only one left. Pigsy was holding his breath with worry, and finally Tang spoke
"My vote goes to.... Pigsy's Noodles! Of course, it does! His food is a work of genius!" Tang said, making Pigsy's Noodles the winner in round 2, of course Jin and Yin weren't happy about the results
"You really had me worried y'know that Uncle Tang?" Sakura said to her uncle
"Sorry about that, I've always wanted to give high tension like this" Tang admitted "But... Is he ever gonna let you go?" Tang asked as Red Son continued to hug and nuzzle the girl
"I'm not sure, maybe he will after the competition" Sakura said
"And now the final competition, mascot combat!" The MC announced
"Mascot combat? But Uncle Pigsy doesn't have a mascot. Now I'm getting worried" Sakura said
"Don't worry my cherry blossom, we all know that Noodle Boy will come up with something" Red Son said
When Jin and Yin summoned a panda mech, Pigsy looked like he was ready to give up, but MK gave him the pep talk which cheered Pigsy up. Then MK tossed himself and Pigsy into the air and landed the staff where the van is, and changed into a pig mech. There was supposed to be a fight, but a female demon said that Yin and Jin don't have enough in their budget, which means they can't pay their drivers. So, they ended up getting beat up by their former drivers, making Pigsy's Noodles the winner of Food Wars
