Too Zesty For My Tastes

Too Zesty For My Tastes is the 52nd Episode of the 3rd Season of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. Canterlot has noticeingly gotten more and more unitge restaurents as such places started to pop up in Canterlot and the more sofisicated ones started to become scarse and almost non-existent. Even the Higher classes like Fancy Pants began recimending the more unitge restaurents over the "Three Hooves" Restaurents. As such, Zesty Gourmand has fallen from social graces and lost her crediability as a critic, being fired from the Critics Union of Equestia and stripped of her status. She has since sturggled to keep ahold of the Gourmand mansion that's been in her family for generations. She has now harbored great resentment torwords Rarity and Pinkie Pie as a result. That's why she enlsited her absint-minded but talently magical daughter Happy Gourmand, who very unlike her mother, is open-minded to all forms of food but dutifully loves and listens to Zesty out of being a good daughter, to go and find her some helpers to "Correct these grivious misconceptions". Zesty sends her disguised as Princess Candence to bail out Svengallop, Wind Rider, and Dr. Eureka (by his relucence), out of the Black Staillion Asylum and into the Gourmand manor. Acknowledging that the trio aren't enough for her plans, she then forcefully instructs Dr. Eureka to create fake coupons for each of the more unitge restaurents to the Villain Teams and any still on the loose independent villain! As such, these villains came to honor thier clearly fake coupons to the restaurents, espeically The Tasty Treat, own by Saffron Masala and her father Coriander Cumin, the indian India sytile restaurent that inspired the change to begin with. As such, because the owners trying to insist they never sent out coupons, let alone to villains, this enraged and insulted the villains in feeling like they came out here for nothing and declaired that the restaurents will be destroyed for this, along witht their owners! Concerned by the strange but still troubling appearence, Celestia warns the Mane 7 who in turn contacted the Lougers and several allies for help! Rarity and Pinkie quickly suspected that something's up, espeically when Candence reported that she was framed for bailing out Svengallop, Wind Rider and Dr. Eureka. Can our heroes be able to pinpoint and find the causer of all this AFTER they protected the business owners from the pissed off villains?

Chapter 1: A Critic Who Lost Her Zest
The Aftermath of Spice Up Your Life. The weeks that followed... Outside the Bank Meanwhile.
 * Zesty Gourmand was seen returning to a sofisicated building with a sign that reads "Critics Cafe: The Critic HQ of The Critics Union of Equestia". Zesty looks extremely bothered by the aftermath of Rarity and Pinkie bringing ponie's attention to The Tasty Treat.
 * Zesty: "What came over that fastionista pony and her idiotic pink friend? Why must they bother helping that cultural eyesore that is clearly the qouted, "Tasty Treat". If it was desten for failure, why help it? Canterlot was simply not meant for such commoner nonsense like, whatever strange exotic sludge those two had the ordasity to serve. So ponies actselly want to try that garbage? BAH! Clearly the new generation doesn't know refine and sofisicated eatery if it bit them in the flanks! Bah! No matter. It'll end up being a briefly lived fad and ponies will go back to enjoy true masterful foods and not garbage like curry or whatever it's called. That blasted Rarity is lucky I have more impourent things to do then seek out to ruin her name in canterlot for going out of her element. But that over-rated wrench better hope she doesn't cross paths with me again, or I may not be so kind next time. Ohh. I suppse being around my fellow critics will sooth my disappointment. Espeically since they gotten rid of that Praiser Pan idiot. He was never a real critic. Not like me. I have upheld Canterlot eatery to a standerd."
 * Zesty then proceeded to enter the building, as so, suddenly every single critic of every kind of sytile, art, food, movie, game, toys, politcal, establishment, entertainment media, music, wines, and more, all stared with surprise, disgust, and unamusement to the return of Zesty.
 * Zesty was admitingly caught off guard by that.....
 * Zesty: "....... Odd.... At best I usually only get a small acknowledgement then ponies go back to their busines. Oh, I must've came in after everypony just came back from an exhausting day no doubt."
 * ???: "YOU?!"
 * Hoity Toity came in.
 * Hoity Toity: "YOU, have some nerve to show yourself here after what the news has reported!"
 * Zesty looks around abit, hoping that Hoity was calling out someone else.
 * Hoity Toity: "Oh for Celestia's sake, you old bat, I meant YOU!?"
 * Zesty: "A-wha, ME?! Oui?! Mr. Hoity Toity, I have just been insulted by you! And what do you mean what the news reported?"
 * Newspaper critic: "Well, it seems that the latest news done exbertly by newsletter veterens in the Equestia Daily printing press and likewise others have reported that you refused to give the Tasty Treat your approval and recminidation dispite it being popular with the ponies for it's unigteness."
 * Zesty: "........ Your joking right? You people never had problems with my ways before. Why start now?"
 * Movie Critic: "(Looking like Nostagila Critic pony) ISN'T IT OBVIOUS, YOU TASTELESS HACK!? You just commited an act of making our union look like it doesn't know what's doing!? I mean, I know feel as if that our lives would be so much happer if you didn't existed?!"
 * Zesty: "Wha, wha, Nostaglia Pony, what, what do you mean!?"
 * Nostaglia Critic Pony: "(Gets angry and frustiated!?)"
 * Nostaglia Critic Pony: "WE HATE YOU NOW?! WE HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!? IF THERE WAS A LIKEABLE SCALE BETWEEN 1 AND 10, YOU BE NEGITIVE PIE?! YOU ARE NOW WANTED IN ALL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD OF EQUESTIA SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN!? IF THEY WERE TO MAKE A CLOUNE ABOUT YOU, IT'D BE CALLED "ODE DE GAR-BAGE"!? IF CANCER GOT CANCER, YOU'D BE THE ONE THEY NAMED IT AFTER?! KNOCK-KNOCK?!"
 * Zesty: "(Bewildered and hurt) Who's there?"
 * Nostaglia Critic Pony: "NOBODY!? BECAUSE NOPONY WOULD EVER WANT TO SEE YOU?! WHEN PEOPLE ASKED SPIRITUAL ALICORNS THE MEANING OF LIFE, IT'S TO STAY AWAY OF YOUR DUMBASS, YOUR BAY-PONY'S LOST SYMPATHY?! DEATH TO JOY?! WOULD ANYONE IN A SLEEVELESS TRENCHCOAT, WHITE SHIRT, BLACK LEGGINGS, IS A BITTER OLD UNICORN, POINTY NOSE, POINTY EARS, STUPID EYEBROWS AND A LIKEABLE PERSONALITY PLEASE RAISE THEIR HOOVE!? (Zesty tries to do that fidgetly) YOUR TOO STUPID TO EVEN GET THAT JOKE?! (MAGICLY PULLS DOWN AN EVOLUTIONARY SCALE WITH ALL THE PONY EVOLUTIONS GETTING AWAY FROM A PICTURE OF ZESTY) ON THE EVOULIONARY SCALE, EVERY ONE OF OUR RACE'S PAST AND FUTURE IS FUCKING AFRAID OF YOU?! YOUR THE SURGEN GENERAL'S WARNING ON A PACK OF CIGERITES!? (MAGICLY DONS A CHEERLEADER'S OUTFIT BUILDT FOR PONIES!) GIVE ME A W, GIVE ME AN E, GIVE ME A H A T E U!? WE, HATE, YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!?"
 * Zesty shed a tear....
 * Zesty: "But, but, why?"
 * A Boss Critic came in.
 * Boss Ciritc: "(Godfather impression) It's because you failed to uphold the critic's oath. You failed to be honest with people, you failed to be honest with yourself, you failed to be honest with us. I'm disappointed in you, Zest, we welcomed you into our family, we treated you like family, my late grandmother made you her lovely conallies every chance she gets. (An Art Critic did a cathletic prayer next to a artist painting of an elderly pony simular to Granny Smith).... And how you repaid our generosity? You threaten ponies their ability to own a business with bad reviews. You disrespected them, you disrespected me, you disrespected everyone, you disrespected my grandmother who showed you nothing but kindness even after you lost your husband Tasty Gourmand to a terrorable cooking accsident. I know you were never the same after that mess, that you prefer to enjoy bland tasting sofisicated food, since no other cook will ever be able to match your late husband, and I understand why your like this, but what you did wasn't right. You shouldn't have done what you did. Now, cause of this, I'm afraid that means that your no longer welcomed to this family."
 * Zesty Gourmand: "(GASP)!?......... Sir, please tell me you don't mean-"
 * Boss Critic: "I apologies for this Zesty..... But to denounce your unprofessionalisum..... Your gonna have to be let go. Your no longer apart of the Critics Union of Equestia. Boys?"
 * Two Minotaur bouncers in well-refine suits drag away Zesty.
 * Zesty: "NO!? TOP CRITIC, PLEASE, I'LL PROMISE I WON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!?"
 * Boss Critic: "And you'll never will."
 * Zesty: "NO?! PLEASE?! EVER SINCE TASTY'S PASSING, I'VE ONLY WANTED TO PROTECT CANTERLOT FROM COMPETATION!? UNITGENESS RUINED MY HUSBAND'S LIFE AND LEFT ME WITHOUT HIM!? YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO-"
 * Zesty was tossed out of the building by the bouncers as magic caused it to close rapidly!
 * Zesty was laying on the floor, defeated and broken.
 * Zesty: "...... Tastey..... I'm so sorry."
 * Zesty was meeting some Bank ponies in the bank.
 * Zesty: "Please, let me keep the Gourmand Mansion, it's all that I have left. Just allow me a chance to pay off the dept, I'll find away, please.... I suffered enough since one mis-step costed me my job, not helping also is the lawsuits I dealt with and lost, and-"
 * The head Bank Pony: "(Raised his hoof to silence Zesty)...... Very well Zesty. We'll allow only ONE, additional week. But only out of respect for your husband, the famed chief Tasty Gourmand. But be made aware. That repsect can't keep us from doing our job. You failed to pay your morgade by then.... Then I'm sorry. It's nothing personal, Zesty. The rules of the banks make us do this. Have you told your daughter of the situation?"
 * Zesty: "No, please, her magic-asbergers makes her, too sensitive, like she's still a foul."
 * Head Bank Pony: "Well you can't keep her in the dark forever. She will know about this eventually. Mentally disabled or not, she's a smart enough girl, and her surprisingly strong magic capabilities enable her to know spells even Princess Twilight only reads about in books. She's not as foolish as mental-weaknesses would make her."
 * Zesty: "..... I understand.... But, I rather wait on that abit. I, want to make this gentle as possable."
 * Head Bank Pony: "Fair enough.... But hopefully, the dept will no longer be an issue by then. If not.... Then I wish I could help you more in some way."
 * Zesty got up and left.
 * Zesty walks on, defeated and dejected.
 * Zesty: "..... My life..... In shambles....... My career as a critic.... Ruined...... And it's all thanks to YOU?! (Points to Rarity's face on an advertisement for the Canterlot Bontigue.)........ I swear on this, Fastionista, you'll learn of the pain, I AM GOING THROUGH?! (FIRES A BEAM AT THE POSTER AND SETS IT ON FIRE?!).... I'll make you suffer, like HOW I am suffering!? (Sees the more unitgeifived Canterlot restaurents)..... Starting with the likes of those stains of Canterlot Cusine. (Sighs)..... But how.... (Walks on) It's not I can just go forth and attack those restaurents! My reputation is in enough shame as it is, and-"
 * Stops by a TV store, and on them, The UU News is playing. But is too depressed to watch and attempted to move on.
 * News Anchur: "And once again, the villain Kung Pow has desided to REALLY mess with the natural order of things."
 * Zesty stopped by that and came to watch the screen.
 * News Anchur 2: "Indeed he has. The nasty little dragon has reserected a double whammy for the heroes. He reserected the previously dead Deer-A-Nator and her son to make her serve as a minion to him and use her to destroy the Lougers and his nefpew Mushu espeically, as payback for two previous humiliations. We go now live to a Dragon Realms News Reporter live on the scene."
 * A Raccoon news reporter is seen on the scene of the Lougers battling Deer-A-Nator.
 * Raccoon reporter: "As you can see here, the Lougers are having a serious battle against a formerly dead female deer from a long while back who was reserected by the Prison 42 escapee, Kung Pow, out for the sake of petty revenge. Even with the Uniter present, this is garrentied to be a long battle. And as we know, long battles tend to leave serious damage in the city as always. Just like last week's Junjie attack where cause of him being able to reactivate a lost CIS Battle Droid Factory, the damage was bad enough that it almost lead to the periment shut down of many businesses and stores, espeically restaurents. If this battle continues, and if serious enough, we could see periment closings."
 * Zesty stared in awe-struck as the words "Periment Closings" echoed in her head....
 * Zesty suddenly smiled like the grinch.
 * Zesty: "..... Alchourse..... Who better to ruin those unigifived restaurents, then villains? Oh bother! It's not like I can just ask them myself! That could either risk an ineditable betrayal like what happened with that Suri pony, or just straight up humiliation like with the shamed Prince Blueblood! I need a way to have them do my dirty work without their knowing and-"
 * Zesty sees some dirty coupons for the Tasty Treat.
 * Zesty: ".... Coupons? Oh great, those two yokels from the Elephant Lands are giving out coupons for free..... Meals......"
 * Zesty grinned like the Chesure Cat now.
 * Zesty: "..... Perfect......"
 * Zesty walked off, knowing what she aims to do now as she climbed on a Chariot in shape of a limozene.
 * Zesty: "Dutiful Chauffeur, take me back to my mansion! I need to see my daughter again for something that'll finally slove my problems."
 * The Limo Chariot puller, a well dressed but stone-cold faced stallian, with frankenstein like gaze, grunted in agreement. This was Dutiful Chauffeur.
 * Dutiful Chauffeur pulled Zesty on the limo chariot as she was grinning wildly.
 * Twilight: (As the Mane Six and Lightning Dust and friends travel through Canterlot as Nightmare Night decorations were seen)... Ah, it's going to be Nightmare Night in Equestria soon.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah! It's going to be wicked.
 * Applejack: I'm just glad that Fluttershy won't miss out this time because Celestia's soon to plan something big for not only all of us, but also one especially for her.
 * Fluttershy: I sure hope it's not... Well... TOO scary.
 * Pinkie: Oh, cheer up, Fluttershy. Besides, I know just the place we can go to blow off all this steam. The one and only Tasty Treat. After all, we are DUE for one as a make up for Lightning Dust for missing out on the celebration party for her grade ever since the uh.... Changeling Mishap.
 * Rarity: Thank goodness, I could use some ACTUAL original cuisine since Zesty's domino effect died out.
 * Twilight: Yeah. Apparently, since you two saved that restaurant, the others in the neighborhood have been gaining much more originality to them.
 * Pinkie: YAY! No more boring cuisine.
 * Rarity: And good riddance, too. Canterlot really NEEDED originality from all over the country. Otherwise, this would soon enough be the LAST place I'd go for lunch. I mean, I usually don't have an issue with more refined cusine, but the truth of the matter is, Canterlot should be more then just refine taste. It should open it's doors to other ideals of taste as well. I, just wish I understood Zesty's reasonings other then just being abit fussy.
 * Applejack: And clearly the smells are telling us the entire story.
 * Pinkie: (Takes a massive sniff of them) AHHHHHH! Smells from the heavens above.
 * Rarity: Ahh, there we are. (They come by the Tasty Treat, and enter)
 * Pinkie: GUESS WHO'S BAAAAACK?!?
 * All Customers: PINKIIIIE!!!
 * Applejack: "Wow, your surprisingly popular here."
 * Pinkie: "Alchourse. I pretty much new every old and current generation of Equestia at this point. NOW WHERE'S MY FAVERITE CHEF SAFFRON!?"
 * Saffron: (Appears) Pinkie! Rarity! Nice of you to drop by. Happy Nightmare Night.
 * Pinkie: It ain't even Nightmare Night yet, silly.
 * Coriander: Well, I say it's still nice to say such at this time of year.
 * Saffron: And...are these your friends?
 * Coriander: And it seems the Princess of Friendship herself is here.
 * Twilight: Yeah, and I must say, since Pinkie and Rarity fixed this place up, Restaurant Row has been getting a little more original cuisine from all over Equestria.
 * Saffron: Si, it certainly has. We've gotten to know many of them since the last time you came.
 * Coriander: And apparently, somepony from our hometown opened a restaurant right next door, and Saffron seems to be dating one of their employers.
 * Saffron: Ah, yes. This little row of Canterlot has come a long way since Zesty.
 * Rarity:... Speaking of which, I haven't head much of her since her many lawsuits by the various restaurent owners and her bad tidings with the Critics Union, do you know what happened to her?
 * Coriander: Well, this infomation was mostly kept quiet to the public, but, prior to the lawsuits, the union fired her.
 * Mane Six: FIRED?!?
 * Coriander: Oh, totally true. Apparently, the Critics Union were appalled by her actions, and after seeing clearly what she was doing to Restaurant Row, they fired her. Don't know what happened to her afterward apart from those lawsuits.
 * Pinkie:... That's... Kinda sad. And I feel awful for her, even if she was a total snooty batooty! And I feel awful about what I said back in Real Tests with Unreal Problems. Chalk one up as another Fillie Vanilli for me!
 * Rainbow Dash: "I'm calling it! She's gonna become another tainted pony over this and seek revenge!"
 * Rarity: "Isn't that a bit extreme to assume that, Rainbow?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Oh-ho-ho! Let's recall the times we dealt with tainted ponies..... Both canonly, AND IN THE SAF SERIES! Nightmare Moon, Trixie, Twice, The Flimflam bros, three times, King Sombra, The Pinkie Clone army, Almost Lightning Dust, Sunset, Dr. Caballeron, twice, AND WHO WE STILL HAVEN'T CAPTURED BY THE WAY, The Mane-Iac tecnecally, Suri Polomare, TWICE, Starlight, THREE TIMES, Wind Rider, MORE THEN ONCE, Svengallop, ALSO MORE THEN ONCE, Gladmane, Dead Sea, Pred and his daughters, MORE THEN ANYONE REALLY WANTED TO, Shineflare back when she was encharged of the unicorn council, Prince Blueblood, Black Tie, Celery and Fruit Salad, The Sin Ponies, Sopony, Death Coffin, Oak Golden, that one pony who was with that really dark rights group at the end of The Tri of Justice, that little Emerald punk, Dr. Eureka, Pred's SUPER freaky ansister, Acidburn, AND THAT'S ONLY WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT AND/OR COULD COVER AT THE MOMENT?! And don't get me started on the jerks we met in the comics! We'd be here FOREVER!"
 * Rarity: "Ok ok, you made your point, Rainbow Dash. Though I have reason to believe Zesty is too civilised to snoop to such levels."
 * Twilight: "Rainbow isn't exactly wrong about being concerned Rarity. Remember that Suri ended up surprising us by managing to get the Scourge Imperials involved."
 * Coriander: "Wow, that's rare."
 * Pinkie: "And Blueblood DID got Team Nefarious involved."
 * Spike: "And those Sin Ponies did started out as leagers."
 * Starlight: "And I got involved with a misfited ragtag team of unallied villains and was with Fem Fatala. Heck, even an alternate villain team's finest assassin."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Oh you mean Caera? I still remember on what a badass she was!.... And that she made even the artifical alicorn guards look like a total joke."
 * Rarity: "Yes, but what was the commen theme with those involvements?"
 * Applejack: "That they either end in ineditable betrayal,"
 * Pinkie: "TOTAL HUMILIATION,"
 * Spike: "Or both."
 * Rarity: "Exactly. And I suspect that Zesty would be cautious about those things, epseically with the controversey she has already. Not to mention that she's smart enough to know that the Louger's usual rouge galley are not very good with being trustworthy."
 * Twilight: "Intelligence can be a double-edged sword, Rarity. She could find an indirect way to get the villains to seek vengence for her without them knowing."
 * Rarity: "..... I don't suppose it wouldn't hurt to keep cautious, but I have no doubt that Zesty knows better then that, espeically with the current predicerment she's in."
 * Applejack: "Well, we're just gonna have to trust that she does and hope for the best. Now how's about we worry about Zesty later and enjoy ourselves?"
 * Twilight: "Fair enough."
 * Lightning Dust: "Oh, speaking about the Lougers, did you hear about that Kung Pow creep? Not only did he broke out, but he reserected that poor but crazy deer lady and is bribing her with her also reserected son to basicly be that little creep's patsy! Can you beleive that?!"
 * Spike: "Ugh, TELL ME ABOUT IT! I really hope the Lougers are able to help Miss Vambi out of that mess and give Kung-Pow a very painful lession for this, am I right?"
 * Rarity: Indeed. But that's irrelivent. I just came here for a nice lunch for our Nightmare Night stay in Canterlot, and now I hear that Zesty is in a situation that's likely or unlikely to make her as vengeful as any other ponies from our pasts.
 * Saffron: Well, the lunch will certainly help you relax for the moment. Why don't you pick a seat and we'll be with you shortly?
 * Coriander: You'll be fascinated to know we got some appetizers.
 * Pinkie: THAT SOUNDS NICE!
 * Saffron: Well, pick a seat. (They did so)
 * Midnight: "Perhaps some lunch will ease our concerns."
 * Rainbow Dash: Sure hope so. That revelation of a possible new threat might be AS concerning as the rest of the crap we put up with. I mean, we've have QUITE an adventure last week. Thorax is a freaking king now, and Chrysalis is sacked as their queen. The Villain League would be quite PISSED when they discover that Chrysalis has no more Changelings to serve them.
 * Twilight:...I think Thorax once told me that Changelings are capable of both asexual AND sexual reproduction. The problem is that sometimes, their genetics are unstable when reproduced asexually. It'd be almost like inbreeding, but with a much uglier result. While Chrysalis COULD reproduce asexually, it would lead to a LOT of risks.
 * Helping Hooves: Well, THAT'S a relief. That abomination can't find an appropriate mate to balance out genetics, AND there's no point in risking impure genetics through asexual reproduction. I'm GLAD her Changelings are good now.
 * Sincere: Yay verily.
 * Kindheart: Of course it didn't help that Thorax was almost sacked a month ago.
 * Twilight: Yeah. Hopefully, with the redemption the Changelings have made, we won't have to worry about something like THAT again.
 * Fluttershy: And good, because that would be a little frightening to think about at this time of year.
 * Rainbow Dash: I'm with you on that one, Fluts. I may be used to fear to the point where I enjoy it, but that doesn't mean I don't know what is dangerous and what isn't. Hopefully, after we refresh ourselves here, it'll all be behind us.

Chapter 2: Happy Gourmand
Gourmand Mansion
 * Zesty: Daughter, I have a plan on how we can solve ALL or problems.
 * Zesty's Daughter: You sure about that?
 * Zesty: Surely. If we can find a way to destroy ALL those restaurants all across Canterlot, then we'll be able to gain the money to save our home.
 * Zesty's Daughter:...Mother, that doesn't sound like a good idea.
 * Zesty: Happy, we only have a week to do this. And nopony wants to hire me because of what I did. You SERIOUSLY want to live on the streets in a cardboard box forever?
 * Happy:...No.
 * Zesty: Then you have to trust me. This is by far our only chance.
 * Happy:...(Sighs) Then how are you gonna do it?
 * Zesty: Simple. All we have to do is send coupons to the many restaurants in Canterlot to the villains outside of our worlds. Then they'll do the rest. With the restaurants gone, we can use the obtained money to pay the mortgage on our mansion.
 * Happy: OTHER-WORLDLY VILLAINS?!? Are you sure that's not going to destroy more than we wanted out of it?
 * Zesty: Just trust me, daughter. We need to do this. Now, are you with me or not?
 * Happy:...(Sighs) I guess so. But I won't guarantee this will work.
 * Zesty: Good. Now let's get started...
