Sakura P.O.V

I was out delivering the noodles with some of the sweets that the customer ordered, when I turned off my scooter, I started walking to the address when suddenly a scooter went passed me and I saw it was one of the Speedy Panda delivery guy

"Oh dear. C-Can you please leave me alone this time?" I asked nervously and next thing I knew, I was surrounded by other Speedy delivery guys, and they gave me an evil smirk. Then, they started beat me up while destroying the noodles and the sweets. Once they finished beating me up, they left. I got up from the ground and started walking to my scooter

'I need to get patched up. Uncle Pigsy and Uncle Tang are not gonna be happy about this' I thought as I started the engine and drove off

MK P.O.V

"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

"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, Pigsy was about to yell at me when we heard someone walking in

"I'm back..." Sakura said but she sounded tired, I was about to greet to her, but I felt my eyes widen. Sakura was beaten up; she has some scrapes and bruises on her arms and legs

"Sakura! What happened to you?!" Tang jumped out from his seat to check on her

"Speedy Panda Delivery guys" Sakura said as Tang sat her down on one of the chairs and went to get the first aid kit

"Those punks! They took it too far by hurting her!" I yelled

"Sigh... They even ruined my sweets that the customer ordered too" Sakura said looking down, while Tang was patching her up

"Pigsy! Something needs to be changed! If we don't do something, they'll drive us out of business!" I said

"I know kid, but the only thing we can settle is-!" Pigsy was cut off when a brick was thrown through the window and there's a note

"It says it's for Sakura" Tang said as he handed Sakura the note

"Attention sweet maker of Pigsy's noodles, prepare for your worst nightmare. We challenge you to Food Wars. To determine which of the restaurants sweets truly reign supreme! Signed Speedy Panda" Sakura read the note out loud for us to hear

"Uh... What's Food Wars?" I asked and noticed Pigsy is getting fired up

"Food Wars, an ultimate arena for chefs to dook it out! Where the victors are hailed supreme above all others! Speedy Panda, she accepts the challenge!" Pigsy said with the same fire in his eyes

"Sigh. Uncle Pigsy, please don't accept the challenge in my stead" Sakura said

"Well then, let's get ready for the Food Wars! They're gonna regret for hurting you!" I said and I was getting pumped up too

Sakura P.O.V Food Wars Arena

"Welcome one and all to Food Wars! Today, two teams will compete in 3 rounds of food combat in order to be crowned Supreme Restaurant Sweet Maker champion! Introducing first for Pigsy Noodles Shop, Sakura and her 2 assistants Pigsy and MK! And their opponents, Speedy Panda convivence and its owners these guys!" The MC said making the crowd go wild

"Uh... I'm sorry, but who are these two?" I asked, making the two demons fall from their chairs

"I'm Jin!"

"And Yin!"

"The Gold and Silver demons!"



"Huh?" I looked at them with a confused look "I never met you guys before, so why are challenging me?"

They explained that if they can run my uncle's noodle shop out of business then MK would be out of the job, if MK is out of the job he'll be starved, and then they'll finally defeat him in his weakened state. But that still doesn't answer my question about why they're challenging me. I noticed Uncle Pigsy and MK glaring at the 2 demons, and we heard the MC talk again

"Alright! Round 1! 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!"

I was standing by where all the ingredients are, and Uncle Pigsy and MK were in the cart. I looked at the Gold and Silver demons and they gave me a friendly wave, but something tells me they're gonna do something crazy

"In 3"

"2"

"1" The MC blew the horn, and the competition has begun

I was getting all the ingredients I need to make my sweets, once I got them, I handed them to MK and Uncle Pigsy. While I noticed Yin pulling out a pre-made sweet and I gasped

'Gasp! How dare they?! Everyone knows making sweets from scratch is way better and delicious too! I won't lose to that pre-made sweets!' I thought to myself

Yin put the pre-made sweets in the delivery guys carrier and took off. Uncle Pigsy and MK were trying to keep everything from falling out and they finally drove to the respective kitchen, while driving MK and the Speedy Panda delivery guy were bumping into each other, MK managed to get into the lead, but he and Uncle Pigsy were trampled by Speedy Panda drivers who appeared out of nowhere

"MK! Uncle Pigsy!" I shouted at them while Jin and Yin were laughing

"Round 1 goes to Speedy Panda! In round 2, competitors will put their culinary prowess to the test in a cookoff. With the winner being chosen by the panel of furiously selected judges." The MC said while I was prepping to make my first sweets I ever made when I was a child, Red Bean Buns. I was telling both MK and Uncle Pigsy what I needed next, I also told MK to keep an eye out in case the 2 demons plan to sabotage me

"Sakura! We gotta hurry!" MK was trying to rush me

"MK, you need to calm down. Like how Uncle Pigsy makes his noodles, it takes time. I don't like rushing things otherwise it won't taste good" I said as I opened the steamer where the buns are "But I'm missing something"

Suddenly, Jin spilled some red powder on my Red Bean Buns and saying he dropped some by accident, so they left laughing

"Grrr! Those guys! Why I outta!" MK was about to leave

"That is exactly what I need! The powder that Jin spilled was actually red sugar!" I said and gave MK the bamboo steamers and time was up

"And that's the timer! Both competitors must now present their culinary creations to our panel of judges. Introducing our first judge Princess Iron Fan!" The MC said as Princess Iron Fan took a seat

"Princess Iron Fan, it's nice seeing you again" I said with a bow

"Hello, daughter in law. I didn't know you'll be competing. Now I'm looking forward to whatever dessert you made" Princess Iron Fan said and I couldn't help but smile

"Judge number 2 is none other than Red Son! The son of the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan!" The MC said as Red Son used his flames to teleport to his seat

"Hey, Red Son! You're a judge too? Wow!" I said sounding excited

"C-Cherry Blossom?! You're the competing?!" Red Son asked and I nodded "I get to... taste my wife's sweets" Red Son did a funny look on his face

"Hey! Sakura is not gonna be your wife!" MK said looking at angry, and the two were having a glare off with each other

"Can you guys to this after the competition?" I asked and they stopped glaring

"And judge number 3 and an apparently a fan favorite, this guy!" The light revealed Uncle Tang

"Thanks for having me! Great to be here!" Uncle Tang said looking excited

"First off is Speedy Panda and what looks like... uh... some type of black soup?" The MC sounded confused

"It's actually called Black Sesame Soup" Jin said

"We added the sesame seeds from this packet' Yin said as he tossed the wrapper away

"I'll take your word for it" Princess Iron Fan as she pushed away the dish

Red Son didn't even bother looking at it, and Uncle Tang being a foodie decided to taste it. But then later regrets trying it as vomits in a nearby trash can

"Next up is Pigsy's Noodles sweets maker, Sakura! Her sweets is to be..."



"Red Bean Buns! These were my first set of sweets that I made as a child" I said as I placed the bamboo steamers in front of the judges and now, I wait for the result. Princess Iron Fan took a bite of the bun, her eyes widen, and she looked like she enjoyed it

"It pains me to do this, but sadly my vote goes to Speedy Panda" Princess Iron Fan said with a sad look. MK and Uncle Pigsy looked surprised at her decision while Jin and Yin high-fived. Next, Red Son took a bite of the bun and like his mother, his eyes widen and enjoyed the flavor of the bun

"This is the most delicious bun I ever had! Cherry Blossom you never cease to amaze me! My vote goes to Pigsy's Noodles!" Red Son said as he voted for Uncle Pigsy's shop. MK and Uncle Pigsy cheered, and I noticed the 2 demons glaring at me, making me jump. Finally, it was Uncle Tang's turn, the tension is very high since right now it's a tie between Speedy Panda and Pigsy's Noodles. I could feel my heart beating out from my chest, will Uncle Tang choose my dessert or Speedy Panda's. Uncle Tang took a bite from my dessert, he silent for a minute, he even made the audience feel anxious, then he finally spoke

"My vote goes to..."

I was shaking non-stop, and I felt MK grab my hand and gave it a squeeze for reassurance, I calmed myself down for a moment and I looked at Uncle Tang again

"Pigsy's Noodles!" Uncle Tang said "Of course, I'll choose her sweets! They're the best in the whole world!"

"The winner of round 2 goes to Pigsy's Noodles!" Now we're tied with Speedy Panda and the final round will determine the winner, Jin and Yin said since it's a sudden death battle, the loser must be closed down their restaurant forever

"And now, the final competition... Mascot Combat!" The MC said

'Mascot Combat?! But... We don't have a mascot!' I thought to myself

The 2 demons summoned their mascot which was a giant panda mech, when I fell to my knees, I felt tears started to spill out

"Sakura?" MK looked at me with concern

"It's gonna be my fault if we lose... Uncle Pigsy dedicated his whole life on the restaurant, if we lose... it's gonna be my fault!" I said and the tears spilled from my eyes

"No way! We're not gonna lose! I may not understand your irrational love for sweets! Or working hard or Pigsy being angry all the time, but you are always there when I need you! So, it's time for me to return the favor! Because Pigsy's Noodles, are noodles and sweets worth fighting for!" MK said and I felt moved by his words, I wiped away the tears from my eyes and stood up

"You're right MK, it's too early for me to give up! Now, let's go beat those two up!" I said as I pulled the sword from my chest changing my appearance and MK tossed himself and Uncle Pigsy in the air

"Here... Comes... Monkie... Kid!" MK and Pigsy landed the staff near the van, and it changed into a pig mech, when Jin and Yin were busy talking, the pig mech landed near them to see

"Us, little guys and gal are fighting back. Your tyrannical reign over the food sector in this city is over!" MK said

"No amount of convenience food will never win the hearts of us food lovers!" Uncle Tang said

"Uncle Tang!" I called out to him with a smile

"I would never vote against you sweetie" Uncle Tang reassured me

"Oh yeah? Bring it on little piggies!" Jin said as the Speedy Panda delivery guys showed up

"Alright then, you kids ready for this? We'll show these guys what being chef is all about!" Uncle Pigsy said and we nodded in agreement. We were about to fight, but a female demon staff appeared holding a clipboard

"Hang on! We ain't got the budget for this!" The female demon said as she stopped the fight before it even started

"Oi! What's all this saying?!" Yin asked

"Well, you spilled our profits on that panda mech, we ain't got enough money to pay our drivers!" The female demon said showing Jin and Yin the paper of their profits "Baby Panda is bankrupt!"

"What?! Give me that!" Jin took the clipboard from her hands to see, then one of their drivers looked furious

"We're not getting paid?" The Speedy Panda driver asked as he gave the 2 demons a cold look

The 2 demons tried to make up an excuse about money, but in the end, they got beat up by their former drivers. Uncle Pigsy covered mine and MK's eyes so we wouldn't see. In the end, we won the Food Wars, and we even took a picture for Uncle Pigsy to hang on his wall
