Well, seeing as you didn't like my OC fic, I figured I'd replace it with a fic on everyones favorite monster. That waddling, knife carrying, lantern holding, yellow eyed, green mound of power in a burlap sac, Tonberry! *Tonberry walks out and bows. Crowd goes wild* Yeah. You cheer for him, but when the prince of dragons comes out, all you yell is "gimme meh mole!"

Thinking back-Chapter1 ~~~~~~ I know what you're thinking. How did I, a Tonberry, get in this flying hunk of metal? It's not really all that surprising. We tonberries are curious beings. Well, I am at least. The others run at the sound of rustling bushes. It was on the day we, the tonberry, gathered to worship the lord and master of the Centra ruins, Odin. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking Tonberry king rules. Well, he's kind of the second command. Odin is the big man. He's really nice, even though he's as powerful as they come.

I think Odin likes me best. He lets me feed and brush his odd, six-legged horse. It likes me, too. Everyone likes me. But that's off the subject. I'll get back to how I got into this thing. After we watched Odin walk by on his horse, we coversed among ourselves. I found out that Marry is having tonlings. Baby tonberrys, for you. I was so happy for her. Sorry. I'm getting off the matter at hand. After the feast, we dispursed for the day. The wind suddenly picked up and we rushed to see what was causing it. We know wind when we feel it. We can tell if something is causing it, or if it's just nature. This was something. Something big.

At first, you couldn't see it, but you could hear it. A low, loud humming sound, like a giant insect. Then we we saw it, we just thought it was a sea creature. But when it came up on land, that's when we got worried. It floated in mid air, on giant circle of yellow and blue. I thought it was beautiful. I was the only one. Everyone else had bolted. Oh, you may think we're slow, but when we have to, we run like none of your business.

Anyhow, they went back to the center of the ruins, hoping that it would just pass by. It didn't. It stopped just a couple hundred feet away. I just watched it the entire time. It was so beautiful. An aqua blue structure, floating on a magic ring of yellow and a darker shade of blue. I had to get a better look. I grabbed my knife and lantern and rushed down the stairs. When I got to the fountain, Odin's voiced boomed. Someone had entered the ruins! I walked down the stairs slowly and that's when I saw them. Three humans, I think they are called. You don't see a lot of those around here. This being a wasteland and all.

Well, they seemed nice enough. At least they did until one of my fellow tonberry rushed down after them. Must have thought they were a threat. Well, lucky for me, he was a tonberry I had no love loss for. But him rushing in like a moron is not what surprised me. It was the strength of the humans. The one dressed in black seemed to be the strongest. He carryed a big red sword and had a scar running down his face. The two others were not as strong. The one with the whip, though. There's something about her that just screams "Stay away or die." Mabey it's all the red she wears. Or her blue eyes. I'm not sure. Then there was the one with the hair. What happened to him? He get struck by lightning or something? and that black thing on his face. What is that? Well, he was still pretty good. Still goofy looking, though.

After they did away with that tonberry, they moved up to the second floor. I don't know what happened to them after that. When they weren't looking, I dashed out of the ruins and went to their weird...whatever it is. It was even more beautiful up close. And the inside was huge. I was able to sneak in the same way they came out. The guard at the shiny metal gate never even saw me. I had never seen anything so big before. I though the outside was big. The inside was enormous. Much bigger then Odins chamber. I walked around for a bit, always staring up. Being short has it's good points and bad. This is one of the bad points. Ow. My neck hurts. I stopped by a plant and sat down. Wow. Even the plants are bigger them me.

Just before I could get comfortable, I heared two more humans coming my way. I jumped up. I got no where to go. So, being the quick thinking guy I am, I hop the rail and jump into their water. That's when had remembered. Tonberrys hate water. But I still had to hide there. It's was the only place I was safe. I stayed under the bridge for a couple of hours, waiting for something to happen so I could make my escape. During all that waiting, I found out I can float. So, I just lay back and drifted along. Man, was that relaxing. Water isn't all that bad. I sighed and felt the water around me get deeper. I was sinking! Sputtering, I jumped above the top of the water, able to grab the rail. I was wrong. Water bad. Very, very bad. I flopped over the rail, coughing. But it turns out I still couldnt catch a break. Two humans were on each side of me, guarding a different passage way. What if they had seen me? I waited a bit for them to take me away, but they didn't move. I don't belive it. They were asleep. Lady luck, you saved my tail again. I got up and walked to the passage between the ones they wer gurading. There was no one in front of it, so I guess it was okay. I walked down a big hall, compleatly grey execpt for the green stripe that ran to two huge doors.

I wondered to myself. What could be in there? There was only one was to find out. I walked down the hall and come to the doors. When I finally got there, the doors seemd a hundred feet tall. Of course, I was only 3 feet tall, so you can imagian how I felt. How was I supposed to open them? I pushed the left door. Nothing. I pushed the right door. Nothing. Man. I looked around, seeing if I could find something. That's when the small metal box in the wall next to door caught my eye. Little yellow lights flashed on it with a few red and blue lights flashing around it. It was so pretty. I couldn't stop staring at it. I had to touch it! I jumped with my hands raised as far as they would go. I didn't even come close. Damn! I kept jumping, seeing come close then move away everytime. I hate that box now. I finally got so mad that I grabbed my kinife and flung it at it. It hit dead on, just like I wanted. Yeah! Die! Die! It sparked and fizzled then died with a strange sound.

A loud, groaning sound scared the living everything out of me and I jumped. It came from the doors. I held up my hand called my knife back. It flew back into my grip and I grabbed my lantern. I waited for something to happen. And waited. And waited. I was now very annoyed and I walked up to the door. "Stupid..." I mummered, kicking the big shiny doors. They groaned again and slowly began to open. I'm stronger then I thought. I nodded thank you to the doors and walked through, wondering what was awaiting me inside.

I know this seems odd. Like it or not, I'm gonna keep doing it anyway. I'm just asking for reviews. A few words is all I'm asking for. I dosen't take but a few seconds to say something about my work. Please, I'm new at doing this on my own. I need criticism! Tonberry wants your reviews. Do it for the little green dude. *Tonberry smiles and hold up a cup that says 'Reviews'.
