Food War 5: No Chance

Apolo awoke with a start. From what he could hear, someone was shouting his name. He opened his eyes. “Hey, Apple, Apple!”. A Broccoli was shouting a him.”W-what” Muttered Apolo, who at the moment, was trapped, along with all the other fruits……. Except Airin. He wondered, for a second, were Airin could be. Perhaps, he really was dead, but he didn’t think that was true. Or did he? He didn’t have much more time to think about it, before a guard released him from his chains. He fell to the ground, and was shocked. Was this some sort of way to betray Cortus, who was their leader? After he got up, ready to run for it, he felt someone grab him, and put handcuffs on him. His excitement, turned swiftly to disappointment. Of course, this wasn’t a betrayal, they were just moving everyone to another position. Now tired and disappointed, he followed the guard slowly, of the table, and into the unknown……..


Airin, who was the only fruit who was not caught by Cortus, was sitting in a waiting room. He could not help feeling like the whole world depended on him to survive. Of course, he didn’t know his friends had been caught. But he just had the feeling that they were suffering badly. That is what caused him to feel so sick recently. He had been in that room for a week, and he felt like he would throw up every time he moved. At that very moment. Airin heard a door open, and saw two lollipops come in. “Come on fruit, your going to start your fight in two days. Carton says you need to train up so you can fight his chosen champions” One of them said. So, slowly and Miserably, he followed the guards to a room.


When Apolo and the other fruits finally stopped, Apolo opened his Eyes. In front of him, there was a huge stage, with what looked like the whole army of vegetables. Apolo didn’t know what would happen to him, until he looked down. In the middle of the stage, there was a big wheel, with chains at each end of the wheel. He thought he knew what it was. But he didn’t tell anyone in case anyone passed out. Apolo thought it was a torture wheel. He wished desperately that Airin was still out there, but even if he was, there was almost no hope….


Airin had sat on the floor for the last 5 minutes, and had said nothing. He sat there, thinking how he could win this, until something distracted him from that thought. “Oy, hey there, excuse me, fruit”. Airin looked up, and saw someone. From what Airin saw, the figure looked like a big rock. “What are you!?” Said Airin, but instantly thought he sounded rude. “Oh, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Drig, and these are my friends Xas, Findal, Grobper, Andav, and Quanc, and..” “Nice to meet you Drig and your friends, but what are you?” Said Airin. “Oh, well, i’m a rock obviously” Airin was puzzled. “How can you be a rock? I thought only food can be alive.” “Oh well, I have food stuck inside me, so, it just joined arms to me, and that is how I came to be”. “How did you get captured?” Asked Airin. “Well, when I woke up, I went inside, and I met these guys and another guy, and we decided to be friends. While we were travelling, these idiots captured us. The other guy Gorge tried to fight them and was slaughtered, so we let them take us, and we’ve been here since then. Wait, who are you, and what are you doing here?” Airin paused, and then said “Oh, sorry, my name is Airin, and I got captured by the vegetables trying to help the fruits and beat the vegetables, and I was on a secret mission. I was with 3 others, but they died, so now I have to fight this champion so I can escape and defeat the vegetables. I also need some training.” Well why didn’t you just ask us?” Said Drig. “Well, I, I….”. Airin didn’t know what to say. “Alright, fine, but you have to try hard, ok?” “Sure. Plus, how hard could it be?”.

Food War Part 3: Captured

Cortus walked slowly towards the table and poked around the corner to see Apolo and some guards standing there, looking after the rest of the fruit. “Guys, look, there’s that apple, we must find a way to destroy all of them” Whispered Cortus. “Can we also have a name just like you?” Said a Brocoli. “I was thinking of like, Barder”. “Whatever you want, anyway, we have a mission, let’s move” Whispered Cortus. “Barder, you and this cauliflower and brussel sprout, you make a distraction, you Capsicium and you corn come with me”. “Actually, my name is Bruce” Said the brussel sprout. “And my name is Carv” Said the Capsicium. “And my name is Corin” Said the cauliflower. “And my name is Codar” Said the corn. “Whatever, lets go” Said Cortus as they went of in different directions. “Oy there, come and get us” Said Barder as he and Bruce and Corin ran back making some of the guards chase them. “Wait, I feel like this is a trap, why would they come all the way here just to run away, I hope that Airin, Pardin, Arear and Canata are ok” Said Apolo as he and some other guards looked around. “On the count of three, charge in and slaughter them, 1,2,3 charge!!!” Shouted as apolo and the guards turned to face them. “Watch out!!” Shouted Apolo. The closest guard faced Cortus but before he could react, he got killed. “Feinus!!” Shouted Apolo, looking angrily at Cortus. The fruit and the vegetables kept on fighting each other with sharp sword thing’s. After a while, only two other fruit that were fighting were alive. “Barvine, we must keep fighting” Said Apolo. “Got it, sir” Said the yellow banana. They kept on fighting until they got beaten. “Surrender or else you and your fruits friend’s will die” Said Cortus. “Ok” Said Apolo calmly. Cortus then knock Apolo and Barvine out.




Meanwhile, Airin, Pardin, Arear and Canata were still chasing Barder, Carv and Codar. “Do you feel like were walking into a trap?” Asked Arear, who was an Apricot. “Why would this be a trap?” Laughed Canata, who was a Carambola. After about 7 minutes, they all made it to the stairs and everyone was puffed out. The Vegetables slowly climbed up the stairs and shouted as loud as they could “Get them”. The vegetable’s then charged down the stairs at the fruit. “Incoming!!” Shouted Airin, who was a avocado, as he, Arear and Pardin jumped out the way just in time but Canata got killed by all the vegetables. They all the hid behind the leg of the table for about 5 minutes and then one of the vegetables found them. “Get them!” Shouted the vegetable. Airin, Arear and Pardin ran away and then got chased by all the vegetables. The vegetables caught up with the fruit and caught them. The vegetables then killed Pardin and stabbed Arear. They vegetables then started punching and kicking and cutting Arear and Airin. After beating up Arear and Airin, Carv came up and said “you should have joined our side, we could have been friends, and we could have ruled the land.” “I joined the fruit because I am a part of their life, so you cannot turn me no matter what you do” said Arear. “Fine” Said Carv as he got his sword out and stabbed Arear again. “Come on boys, lets go kick some fruity butt” Said Carv as he and the vegetables charged towards where the fruit was.



Arear and Airin then decided that they would try find from the candy and hopefully free their people from the vegetables. They both crawled in different directions for hours but after a while, Arear fell to the ground. “Arear, Arear, are you ok” Said Airin as he crawled next to Arears body. “I…..I….I won’t make it” Said Arear. “No. You will. Just.. just.. hang on for a bit, ok” Said Airin with a shiver in his voice. “No… l-leave me. You must f-find the c-candy and then save our species, you must… ok” Said Arear. “Ok… but… I don’t want to lose you” Said Airin. With one final breath, Arear said “Sometimes, you have to lose what you love to save what you need…. Goodbye… my friend”, then, he closed his eyes and fell back.

“W-wait, what, where.. where am I” Said Apolo as he looked at Barvine, then he looked at Cortus. “Cortus, lets us go, now” Said Apolo. “Sure, after I slaughter you and your people” Laughed Cortus. “You didn’t get all of us. Airin, Canata, Pardin and Arear are still out there, probably wrecking your people” Said Apolo with a grin. A moment later, all the vegetables came running towards them. “Did you kill the other fruit” Said Cortus instantly. “We killed two of them, and left the other two to die after beating them up” Said Carv. “Very good, Apulu, Aparla, whatever your stupid name is, it looks like your friends have failed you” Laughed Cortus. Whatever your doing, wherever you are, I hope you guys can get help, if your still alive, if you can even find help. You are our only hope, thought Apolo, hoping his friends could have him.
