(Chen is doused with water by his assistants and regains consciousness, but something is different.  His usually smiling face is set in a deep, evil frown.  One of the assistants reminds him of the ingredients and Chen growls audibly.  Grabbing two of his largest cleavers, he bounds up the podium to where Chairman Kaga stands...)

Usagi "Luigi" Yojimbo is rolling on the floor laughing wildly at this. He now gets up and grabs the cookies...and procedes to use the "zenderizer" on the cookies. With each wack he yells some intelligible Italian epithets...The assistants are pouring the milk into some type of jello mold???? Can that be possible? What is that thing they are putting the milk in?

The toilet has never been used before....we can hope anyway... now Usagi has ground the cookies into tiny little bits. He pours the whole kit and kaboodle into the toilet also, and grabs a whisk....even after having technical problems with his internet connection. This will cost him time.....

Chen finally looks at the clock and, startled, realizes that he only has 59 minutes left to cook!  He grabs his assistants by the ears and throws them into a wall of woks while using his ninja cleaver skills to chop up the cookies into fine cookie dust.

Cookie dust, this can be used in many ways!  I wonder what he will do?

Usagi has just whipped out the unflavored gelatin and poured it in to the...err...container. What is he doing? It looks like he has found a wok cover, placed it over the toilet and is...well...it can only be dancing....yes he is shaking the container and dancing. What is that he is singing? 'O Solo Mio'? Usagi is certainly enthusiastic. All of his assistants are dancing too. Why are they dancing? They aren't mixing anything...ahhh, they just want to use teamwork.

Iron Chef is mixing in a packet of his secret ingredient into the cookie dust...he seems to be doing his own dance to appease the cooking gods, and now he has dropped his dust into the wok...what a spectacular flame he is using!

Yes, but I think he should be careful, Kenji...that cookie dust looks like trouble.

Oh my!  Iron Chef Chen's arm is on fire!  It seems the cookie dust has served as kindling!  The assistants are running all over the place, pouring water on his arm!

The dancing/mixing ritual appears to be done for Usagi Yojimbo and his team, and now Usagi is pouring his mix into a bowl and placing in the freezer. Alarmed by Chen's fire, the Yojimbo team can only look on at the bizarre unfoldings....meanwhile Yojimbo himself is wasting no time preparing pasta....

This is amazing!  Iron Chef Chen is using some of his third-degree burnt skin as seasoning for the burnt cookie dust!

While most people may find this disgusting, in some parts of the middle Pacific, burnt human skin is considered a delicacy.  I wonder how this will be received by the judges?

Subject: Re: Live from Kitchen Arena -- IRON CHEF!!!

Written By: shazzaah on 01/04/03 at 11:55 p.m.

Usagi Yojimbo is having considerable connection problems...therefore he is moving very slow. But his team is doing all they can to carry this through....the pasta is done, Usagi has drained it and now appears to be adding..yes, he is adding squid ink to the pasta! Ahhh....this is interesting indeed. He has placed the pasta/ink mixture in the wok so it can simmer...hopefully the pasta was not fully cooked as this can make the pasta too soggy.....

Chen points to the French and Japanese Iron Chef, reanimated by Kaga's shinto magic!  But something is not right...!
"Their eyes, Boss, their eyes!"
Kaga cowers in terror and dread!  The French and Japanese bow in his direction, smiling serenely!  But, in the place of their living eyes, they now look out of cheap taxidermy moose eyes!

Just then, the Famous Murderer chirps a cheery "Soup's on!"
"Oh, boy," says Chen, clapping his hands in anticipation! "Oh, boy!"
Chen rises and begins to skip towards the Famous Murderer, who is ladling up his strange concoction!

Ancient silk, with even ancienter writing, surround the bundle!  Kaga bows in reverent dread at the package!  Only in the direst of emergencies would he resort to this, the most powerful ingredient known to gods or man!

Saying a quick prayer, Kaga unties the binding  covering the package!  Inside, serene and potent, reside his magic ingredient!  The ingredient above all ingredient!

"Famous Murderer!" Kaga roars, pulling out the ancient jar! "Look upon this and prepare for your doom!"

Kaga, rising majesticly, holds the secret, radiant ingredient aloft!

It's... it's...

A smile begins to play on the pigs lips and it draws in a breath as if to speak!

Ah yes, the two dishes married together should make an excellent delicacy, Fiji!

Korn: "Married?"

Gedde: "MADDEED!"

Interesting is a mild word to describe what has transpired today...

And now that the judges have tasted the contestants', uh, "delicacies", it is time to vote for a winner...

Korn:  "That puke stuff was rank.  I vote for Yojimbo."

Azuma: "EEE-Hee-hee-hee-hee!  But I do so much love those Fromunda rolls with nuts on the side.  I vote Iron Chef Chen!  EEE-Hee-hee-hee-hee!"

Kishi is frothing at the mouth...oh wait, that's just vomit he failed to clean off...

It's another vote for Iron Chef Chen!

Oooh, Kenji, he must have graded on originality rather than taste!

The winner's victory ::) will be decided by the final judge, Kurimoto...Who will he choose?

Whom indeed?

I am sure Kurimoto will make a good decision, since he is a politician...on second thought, maybe not!

Oh wait, Kuri's spewing up some of the soup, and letting out a big belch...he looks about 20 pounds lighter since the beginning of the challenge...

*quick dubbed Japanase chuckles*

Wait...he might unveil the winner soon...yes, yes...no!  He's just shifting his weight so he can unleash a monster fart on Chairman Kaga!  

Ah, Fuji, some politicians DO have a sense of humor!

And that's about all the time we have for Iron Chef challenge.  I want to thank Fiji, Syncronos, Banasi, Gedde Watanabe, shazzaah, the Ghost Busters, Slimer and the Stay-Puf Marshmallow man for their fine contributions.  Anyone else, Fiji?
