"It's alright!" Rin said, standing off to the side with her arms crossed, one hand holding an icecream cone. The two men turned in her direction after she got their attention. Taking a lick of her ice cream the tomboy replied, "I've just now gotten contact from onii-chan. It seems he's already on this island." What was he like? She wouldn't even hope for even a hint of normality amoung the people so far other then the hope the guy was at least nice. Rin's statement seemed to startle both Toriko and Mansam. "What?!" Toriko explained as he got a weird look on his face (think it was a mix between shock and surprise) as he asked the woman, "Sani is?! Really Rin?" Rin looked at the hunter before looking away, face blushing red. This girl really had it bad for him, eh? Just hope she wasn't psycho or anything. "What did he say, Rin?" "Oh yeah. He captured the regal mammoth and it seems he's on his way here." Say wha?! Then what was the point of them even coming here?! Was that Sani guy really that strong?!

Leaning against a wall, the man watched in disgusted as one of the most ugliest men he's ever seen yell, "Damn you Toriko.. Next time come in your real body?" The ugly troll looking man clenched his fists as he continued. "All right theeeen, I'll personally drag out your organs and trample them to mush!" The long blonde haired man closed his teal-green eyes, brushing a stray hair behind his ear. Really now. It was crude enough the disgusting man wasn't wearing anything but black underwear. Now he's saying impossible things as well. There should be a limit on how crude a person can be. "You would have been dead long ago, Bei." He told the ugly man, which earned him a glare. "Hark-San is right. Right now, do you think you can still beat Toriko?" An older man said as he walked up to the men. The old man wasn't that bad save for the sewed up looking lips and dark cloak. The troll man, Bei, turned and shouted at him, "Shut up Joejoe!" Hark frowned a bit. What a fool. Speaking of fools he watched as the would-be captor limped in, blood dripping all over the place. "And the fool returns." Hark muttered to himself. What a dolt. He couldn't even capture a defenseless girl. "Look." Joejoe began. "You were driving machine number 8.. When you were fighting against the chief and Toriko the "sense of pressure excesses" totaled 16 times. Meaning you would of taken a total of 16 hits that would of been fatal. If it were your real body, you'd have died a long time ago." Bei was silent until he saw the other man. "Haze you bastard! You were suppose to help me get time for the others to get the regal mammoth meat!" Haze barred his teeth at the troll man and hissed. "My job isn't to get time for you bastards! Our purpose is to get the damn bitch and bring her back!" "Yet you failed spectacularly I might add." The blonde man said, opening his eyes to stare at Haze who flinched at the gaze. "She just got me by surprise! It won't happen again, Hark-sama!" The man told him, trying to stop the bleeding. What a boor. This is what happens when you said a human to do a monster's job. Next time he'll go but wait. The Master said he wasn't to expose himself just yet but at the same time he cannot let the chance to get the woman go past. "One more chance. Should you fail just go die." Hark said simply. Haze paled a bit before nodding. The others, who watched the exchange, continued on as if the last sentence wasn't said. "Then what about another robot? With the time I earned, the delicious regal mammoth captured, right?!" Bei shouted, fists still clenched. Ugh. Maybe he WILL go check the girl out. At least she's a fairer sight then this disgusting creature. "All four machines have left for some time but the essential mammoth was not found." Joejoe explained. That shocked the troll man. "What?!" Bei yelped out. Haze left the room already. Good. His scent is disgusting. He was getting bored. How much longer must he sit sit here and cool his heels? "Perhaps the ones who took the first move was our side.." The old man finished.
~Early morning~
After getting cloths that properly fitted Setsuna watched the sun rise over the horizon next to a mountain. It was quite pretty. Which it could said more than what was happening to her. The group got up early to greet this Sani guy. Toriko was chowing down on a ridiculously large piece of some kind of beef. "Delicious~ Drunken beef! Oh this is bad!" Toriko said between mouthfuls. She barely ate any dinner the other night cause majority of it had booze in it and much as Setsuna loved deserts she can only eat so much of it. That and Rin seemed to be giving her the evil eye as she ate the food. "This is truly what it means to be drunk on the taste! I'm getting drunk!" Again. And so early too. Just look at that flush look he was getting from the meat. The girl shook her head and bit back a smile as Komatsu said, "He..hey, Toriko-san. Did you really have to bring food all the way outside?" The hunter didn't hear him as Mansam joined n by saying, "See here, let me have some, too!" Toriko sent him a dirty look before replying, "Why you...! Like I'd give you anyway! You drunkard!" The chief continued to take bites off the meat. "Give it to me, you! It was mine to begin with!" She shook her head a bit as the chef watched them in disbelief. "Now boys! If you can't share then I'll have no choice but to take that." She laughed hard at their expressions. Woooow. The look they gave was enough to kill, good thing looks can't. Rin, who was eating more icecream, was looking through some binoculars suddenly called out, "He's here!" Glancing back towards the sunrise Setsuna blinked in shock as the first thing she noticed was a huge beast by far block out the morning rays. Looking closer it appeared it was being carried by someone but it was too big to tell who it was. Komatsu's eyes widen in shock and exclaimed, "Hu..huuuge!" They continued to watch as both figure and mammoth got closer to them. "Tha...so that's the treasured food of the ancient times, regal mammoth! What size!" The chef continued.
The girl blinked a bit as the figure got closer. "Who's that person? It looks like their carrying it just with one hand." A chuckle was heard. "It's not just with one hand, per se." The chief said as he swallowed the piece he was chewing. Not that far ahead of the lone figure a bunch of upright animals appeared ahead of them. Why did those things give her the impression that their reptiles even though they had no scales and had hair on the ridge of their backs? Komatsu's eyes got even bigger in horror as he said, "A swarm of gang hoods!" Setsuna bit back a laugh. Gang hoods? "They're ferocious beasts with a vast appetite! They're planning to seize the regal mammoth!" "No need to worry." Toriko said, standing next to them and holding a much smaller version of the meat. Nodding a bit. "Much as I hate to say it I agree with him." The girl told the chef. "Hey!" Went the hunter as the shorter man blinked a bit and asked, "What does that mean?" Flashing them a grin she replied, "Think about it. Has ANYONE normal showed up so far?" The chef thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Then chances are good this guy can take care of himself in no time flat." 'Just hope his appetite isn't scary like Toriko's.' She thought to herself. Taking a bite out of the meat the hunter said, "Just watch." Just as the beasts were about to attack the man suddenly and without warning they were slammed to the ground, as if some force put them there. What the heck caused that? Are the animals dead? Looking closer, the girl could tell that the animals were still alive due to the shivering. Knocking? But how? That guy didn't even touch them. As the figure got closer the only thing she could tell was that he had the longest hair she's EVER seen. (Pretty sure women would kill for that length) And it appeared the mammoth was FLOATING above his hand rather him holding it. Without warning the mammoth was tossed in their direction only to be caught by the chief, who was forced to bend his knees due to the sheer weight of it. Egads! Up close it was even bigger! Looking back over to see the figure had a really girlish face (more feminine then hers which kinda ticked her off), his hair was a mixture of white, purple, pink, blue and green. The man, Sani, wore purple pants and boots, which started from his ankles and went to his knees, were a dark navy color which matched the the vest he had on over a shirt that matched the pants and wore wrist guards that matched the boots. For some reason she wanted to punch him. Even on her best days she'd never look that good!
"Ah, sorry. Was it a lil' heavy chief?" Sani said as he brought his hand to his face before continuing. "But nice catch!'s expected. It seems that your strength hasn't waned one bit but there's not enough beauty. The way you caught the mammoth, my heart doesn't beat at al' and I got no sense of being moved whats'ever. I mean, you're bowlegged, clumsy, have no sexiness, it sorta gives an impression like "just die already"." What is with this person? Is he obsessed with beauty or something? Scratch that. If his appearance is any indication then chances are he is. This guy better be nice otherwise this will be one long trip. "Hey Sani!" The chief cried out as he strained to hold the mammoth up. "Don't be throwing around the preicous treasure food! You haven't changed at all from before. Why you! You damn bastard!" The girl watched in amazement as Sani seemed to float up to to them. How was that even possible?! Shaking her head to clear Setsuna listened as Sani replied, "Even though I've kindly brought this all the way here to give to you, I'd like to be thanked. Or rather, I don't really want to be called a damned bastard by you, chief." Her lips twitched a bit as she quickly debated on whether to give a smart comment. 'Oh what the hell. He's gonna be traveling with us anyway.' "Then what would you like to be called?" The girl asked cheekily, giving a mischievous grin.
Mansam bit back a chuckle as the hunter felt his lips twitch, the long haired man chose to ignore the comment even though it kinda irritated him. The group watched as Sani appeared to float up and land neatly in front of them. Looking over in Toriko's direction he greeted, "Hey.. long time no see Toriko." Giving the hunter a once over the long haired man continued, "...Hm... Your cells are more vitalized than in the older days. The elasticity of your skin is high as well. It's evident that you're eating good stuff." Eh? He can tell all that from just a glance? Perhaps this guy was in the wrong profession. Toriko got a slight uncomfortable disgust look on his face as he rubbed one side of it. "Hey, hey Sani. Don't go touching my skin all over the place, its uncomfortable." Blinking a bit she looked closer at the hunter and couldn't figure out what the heck he was talking about. 'I don't see a thing. Maybe its an invisible?' The girl wondered when Rin shouted, "Wait a sec, brother! Like, I don't want you to be touching Torko as you please!" That seemed to shock the pretty man as he whipped his head towards her. "Rin...you.." He started before looking at her and shouting as well. "After not having seen you in a while! 'Hell are these clay pipe-like legs! And the fat under that skin is insane! You're only eating sweet stuff, aren't you!?" Eh?! Wait a sec! Back up! Brother!? This guy is her brother?! They don't seem anything alike! Her too tomboyish and him too feminine! "Like, shut up, and, like, it doesn't have anything to do with you! And, like, I don't want have anything to do with a man-like sister!"
Setsuna stifled a laugh as she continued to watch the two fight. 'I take that back. They ARE brother and sister. Unless their close friends who act like siblings.' The girl mused as she continued to watch as the chef just had a 'what the hell is going on' look. Delicately pointing a finger towards the squabble Komatsu asked, "To..Toriko-san, that person...um... he's not touching anyone or anything like that, is he?" Good question and another one is: how is he touching people or whatever? Toriko, who had his hands on his hips, replied, amusement in his voice, "He's Sani, a king." That surprised the chef a bit. For some reason Setsuna kinda figured him to be something like that if he's in this kind of place. The hunter glanced over to the two as he continued, "All of us are already being touched by his sensor." Mansam had a grin on his face (what was so funny?) and said to them, "Excluding one." Now what could he mean by that? Ah! Looking up the girl saw the pup, Terry, on a nearby ledge looking down at the group. "Terry" Was all Toriko said as he looked up at her. Now she allowed a slight smile to come onto her face. She wasn't sure if he knew it or not but whenever he looked at the pup he got a soft look on his face. The girl didn't know why but she liked that look of his more then anything else. Not the boyish grin he gave on occasions or the smart ass smirk he seemed to get every so often. For some reason, in her opinion. all three of those looks fit him. (Well four, if one included the demonish look Toriko got when he fights) Wearing a slight smug look Sani said as he looked up at Terry, "..I see.. the battle wolf... Only she reacted to my touch. My touch that not even animals of strong alertness become aware of at all. How interesting," The smug look seemed to deepen slightly. "The princess of the ancient times.. a clone? It'd be more promising if it was on our side but, " "I wouldn't worry about that. She and Toriko teamed up." The girl spoke up. Last thing she wanted was to see the pup get hurt! Well, not that anything will happen when Toriko's nearby but still.
He suddenly seemed as if he just noticed her presence (granted that she wasn't a beauty or anything but c'mon! Last time she checked she wasn't THAT invisible!) and asked, curiously, "Who are you? Since when did IGO allow visitors to go anywhere they please?" Toriko chuckled a bit and replied, "There were some circumstances so the girl is currently under my protection." "What she said was right!" Mansam shouted, struggling to hold up the mammoth. "She's (the pup) is Toriko's partner! I'm having them work together right away! The target is the regal mammoth!" "Eh? But didn't the drag queen already bring the mammoth?" Setsuna asked in surprise. She grinned cheekily as Sani shouted, "I resent that!" to her before replying to the chief while pointing at the animal, "Um...I caught the regal mammoth, didn't I?" The chief said with a "what a dumbass" expression, "This one is a child Sani! The parent, who is way bigger than this one, has got to be around here somewhere!" She'd have laughed at the expressions if the news received didn't shock her as well. The animal that Mansam was holding was already insanely huge! If this is just a child then just how big was the adults?! Komatsu, sweating a bit, asked in shock, "Th...this mammoth is..." "A child?!" Rin finished in just as much shock. It didn't take a genius to guess on what everyone has a whole was thinking: Just how big...is the parent? As if on que the hunters (save the chief) started to get pumped and ready to go as someone (most likely the chief, given on how loud the man was) said, "The enemy is also in on this! A race is inevitable! Capture the mammoth first!" 'At least they look ready to go.' Setsuna thought as she watched the hunters getting smirks on their faces as the chef, once again, had a nervous look. Ai, ai, ai. Might as well go along for the ride cause like hell she came this far just to sit on her ass and wait!

Hark rubbed his eyes with his forefingers once again due to the headache that's forming. How much longer must he listen to that damn fool, Bei, shout and chase that disgusting butt bug around while shouting that he's gonna cook it or eat it raw or whatever. 'Truly. That man is disgusting.' The blonde thought in pure disgust. Bad enough he has to wait but to add THAT on top of it? Tch! It made his blood boil! He hated this dancing around! That girl! He must get to that girl before the others figure out what's going on! Should that happen it'll make his life even more difficult then it already was! Hm? Ah yes. That guy is here isn't he? What a presence. One Hark wouldn't mind taking on one day just to see who was stronger. 'But that'll have to wait for another day.' The man mused as he watched a figure dressed in all black except for a white shirt and had a knife at his waist. Too much black for his taste and to make it worse the man had on a black helm that had two horns on each side with a larger one in the middle on the head and some sort of strange part covering his face. As if he was some damn knight from ages past. At least that's what the elders told him. Towering at a 7'6 and a large well built frame he supposed Staajyun could get any with anything he wanted. Although the good points he had was that he had long flowing black hair and the cloak. The figure "Staajyun-kun." Hark greeted as the dark figure past him. "Any luck with your hunting?" To Bei, Staajyun asked, indifference in his face, "But the regal mammoth's capture has been delayed. Is there a problem or something?" Bei, who was standing by the now dead butt bug (killed by the dark figure), rubbed his head as he nervously replied, "Ah...no... about that." Even Joejoe seemed surprised to see the dark figure. Of course they were. The top brass doesn't visit often (save Hark but only because only the top members of the clan had to be stationed at each branch in case one of the followers somehow managed to snag the girl) "You..you are...Vice Head Chef!" The old man said as Staajyun approached him.
"Where's Zedoru, Joejoe?" The dark man asked Joejoe. 'Zedoru-sama is presently operating machine number 7, sir." Joejoe replied as the vice chef walked on. "A GT Robot, huh. The previous times I drove them.. they were still too slow a response." "Is that so, sir? The new model's movement measurement error is merely thousandth of a second, is that still too slow?" Tch. Fool. For someone like him and Staajyun-kun those ridiculously toys are WAY too slow for them to fully feel able to function in them properly. "Yes. It completely doesn't produce my own speed." He watched as the two walked over to the observation. Guess he wanted to see who was all working those robots. "Who are the members?" The tall man simply asked as he crossed his arms as he gazed over the men operating the robots. It was kinda fun at first to watch them move around yet not go anywhere but it got boring after a while. "The sixth branch's branch chief Zedoru-sama to the mysterious person Zaiper." Joejoe began. Hark quickly lost interested as he rattled off names to Staajyun. 'I really want to get out and play.' The blonde groused to himself, flexing his body slightly. 'I feel like I'll go stale soon if I don't move soon.' "Is it all right, for those members. Is it possible to make their war powers assemble?" Ah yes. The bishokukai are trying to start a war with the IGO. "Though its embarrassing, already the first move is already being made shown by the pattern." The tall man merely brushed a stray hair back as if the news didn't bother him. "In place of one machine, I'll be going." That got the old man nervous a bit. Hark whistled a bit as Joejoe exclaimed, "Vice head chef personally?!" Hark chuckled a bit at that. "Course he's going! He said as much didn't he?" Hark said to the old man as the dark man finally noticed him. Or at least acknowledge him. "Hark-san." Staajyun said. "How's it going, Staajyun-kun? Long time no see!" The blonde said with a smile. He barely got the item that was tossed at him before it fell to the floor. "Oh a present! For me? You shouldn't have!" "Tch. Don't be vulgar. I happened to stumble upon a certain person and picked that up for you." The dark man said. Opening his hand the blonde felt his eyes widen a bit as he stared at the item. "What's this? A necklace?" Lifting it up he delicately sniffed it and almost gave a feral smile. It had the woman's scent. Granted it had a bit of Staajyun-kun's but her scent slightly overpowered his which meant that she wore it all the time. "Ah yes! Thank you! Life will be so much easier if we had a scent to look for! Much obliged Staajyun-kun!" Now armed with her scent finding her should be a breeze! Putting her necklace on he hid it under the long ruffled shirt he had on. Better not lose it. He watched as the dark man got ready to get a robot for his use he couldn't help but wonder: what would it be like to actually see the girl?
With Setuna and others
"A..amazing! I can't believe how beautiful this scene looks!" The girl exclaimed as the group stopped in front a carpet of black grass as animals ate at a leisurely pace. It didn't appear to be dying or anything which meant that it was completely natural. "Ooooooh! Isn't this black carpet!?" Toriko said in excitement as he gazed out into the meadow. Komatsu perked right up at the sight and said, "Amazing! That's the black grass that's really popular as a salad right?!" This is used for salads? Oooh boy. She kept forgetting these people are obsessed with food. "This is my first time seeing this scale of such black carpet in the natural world!" "I can't get over how pretty this looks!" Setsuna said as Sani, who had his hands on hips, glanced over at the two. The long haired man got in front of them real close and asked, "By the way, who are you?" Talk about no personal space! "Name's Setsuna. Though its kinda late for introductions." She told him, backing up a bit. At least he wasn't as tall as Toriko, Mansam or Coco. "A..nice..nice to meet you. My greeting is kinda late..um...I..." The chef started, rubbing the back of his head as Sani said, "'s fine anyway. ...Beauty... you two don't have enough't all." Eh? "What does that have to do with anything?" The girl challenged as the small man said quickly in apologetic tones, "I...is that so...I'm sorry.." Holding up a hand the pretty man continued. "What do you usually eat?" Really now! She watched in amazement as Sani gently put a hand on the chef's face as Komatsu, who had a nervous flustered look, told him, "Eh...no.. its usually quite normal." "'rmal?" The man asked as he moved to her, placing a hand on her cheek and got close. She fought back a blush as she answered, "Bout the same.." Mostly true cept Setsuna didn't know what the normal fare here was.
"That's no good~~~You have to pick foods with more things like vitamins and collagen distributed in them." The look in his eyes deepened a bit as he finished, taking out a menu with food she's never heard of, "Th's time, feast on my full course!" "R..right... th..thanks.." The girl told him, getting kinda nervous at him being so close. Toriko fought back waves of jealousy at Sani being so close to the girl. Damn him! He knew this was part of his personality but still! Kneeling down and grabbing a handful of the black grass he told the others, "That's why Sani's has the four heavenly kings most unbalanced diet. It'd be best if you didn't hope too much, Komatsu and Setsuna." The man moved away from the girl to shout at the blue haired hunter, "Shuddup, Toriko. What about your full course?" Ripping up some of the grass he ate some (he's not even going to wash it?! But..but he doesn't know what's been on there!) as he replied, "I still haven't decided anything but dessert." That sent Sani off. "Wassat?!-Still after seein' the best ingredients?! You're so indecisive! How many year's it gonna take to complete the full course?!" Rin, who had wandered a bit ahead of them, called over to Toriko, "Toriko- Over there, there's a cocomayo tree!" Eh? Looking over to the tomboy she saw the girl was pointing towards some tree ahead of them. There's actually a tree that produces mayo? "Oh, really, Rin, I'm coming!" Toriko replied back as he got up and walked over to the tree. "Oh, ignoring me?" Sani grumbled a bit as he watched the hunter leave. "Don't feel too bad. He just has food on the brain." The girl told him as the man looked down at her and sighed. "True, true but still. Ignoring someone is so rude!"
The others wandered over to Toriko as he squeezed one of the fruits and put some mayo (mayo! of all the things!) onto some of the grass he had in his hand and ate it. Throwing his head back with a smile Toriko said, "Delicooooous! Cocomayonnaise meets black grass!" "Really? I'm so glad!" Rin said from next to him. One of those eh? Poor kid needs to knock it off cause no man likes a woman that seems desperate. "Nice going, Rin!" At that the girl blushed as she covered her mouth with her hands in happiness. Wonder where Terry was? Looking around the pup was over yonder away from the group. 'Wonder what's wrong.' Setsuna wondered as she looked at the pup as the hunter called over to her, "Oi, Terry, come here! Let's eat together!" The battle wolf stayed where she was, whatever it was she seemed determined to stay far away. Why did it appear she was on guard? Toriko got a displeased look on his face. "As I thought, you're still being vigilant, huh." Glancing over at the long haired man he continued. "Enough with your touch, draw it back, Sani." "Don't wanna." Sani replied, closing his eyes a bit. "Why don't you stop making a fuss about me?" The long haired man childishly put his hands on his hips as he pouted lightly, "Whatever, that's totally unlikely." She felt her lips twitch a bit. Why does she have the feeling she just met another amusing man? Komatsu walked over to Toriko, who was continuing to eat the grass, and started, "Hey, Toriko-san.." "N?" The hunter went as he glanced towards the chef before saying, "Eat some too, Komatsu. You too Setsuna! It's delicious!" Oh boy. Couldn't he see that the chef had something he wanted to say that didn't involve food?
"Y..yeah...um... ch..chief said the mammoth became a race, but..the enemy, I thought it was the guy at the coliseum and the man who tried to attack Andrea..I mean Setsuna.." 'Nice going Komatsu.' The girl thought as she felt her eyebrows twitch at that. And to think she was worried that Toriko was gonna blab! So much for that! "Yeah, its probably a GT robot. But the enemy isn't just the GT robos." 'You can say that again.' The girl mused as she absently rubbed her neck. The bruises were still there and still sore but at least not enough to stop her from talking and the like. "As for the one who attacked her, there will more then likely be more surprised attacks so we gotta pay even more attention. The IGO maintains 8 gardens all over the world. Each garden has it's own different climate and environment. Though all in all of them there is a designated danger zone. Within the gardens, the wild beasts's toughness in this first biotope is of the highest danger level, A!" Argh. What a way to make someone feel relaxed. "With a capture level said to average 27, its a hell garden! From the research facility's information, the parent mammoth's whereabouts is the dwelling of the devils, regal plateau. Before the mammoth or the GT robos or anyone else, we'll definitely have to face those devils." Komatsu gulped a bit. "But that's true for the GT robo as well. Yes, we shouldn't be able to simply end up at the mammoth." Toriko smirked as he got excited. "Although, if the operator is the same guy we met in the sandy beach in the cave. Its a different story." "Well no duh. That guy had much more power than the one at the stadium." Setsuna muttered. She wasn't stupid. Even she sensed the level of danger that person gave off when they last met. At the mention of that person the chef paled a bit as he stammered out, "Th..those...guy's...goal..."
Without warning Terry, who had been quiet for now, suddenly started give out howls. Not a good sign and she highly doubted that the animal would just do it for the mere heck of it! "What is it, Terry?" Toriko asked as he suddenly sensed something nearing the group and whipped his head to the side. 'What's going on?' Setsuna wondered as she turned to look at whatever they were looking at and... Holy crap! Are those rockmen!? "Rockdrum!" Someone said in shock. These animals had to be towering as tall as a 45 story tall building! Why can't anything be simple?! One of the rockdrums roared out, making the grazing animals shake and take off while also making her cover her ears. As she watched the larger animals preyed on the smaller ones as they ran away. Quickly looking away Rin yelled out, "Icky!" as Komatsu let out a scream of terror. For the love of..! Doesn't anyone know that YELLING makes things come TOWARDS you?! Speaking of which, the rockdrum looked in their direction upon hearing the screams of terror. Chances are good that Komatsu's face being stuck in shocked terror are pretty good as he yelled, "He's looking this waaay!" "It sees us!" Rin cried out in panic. She's doing her best to control her shock and panic, last thing she wants to do is run and incite the thing to chase after. Toriko rubbed his hands together as he told the others, "Don't retreat you guys." "No really!? I thought I'd try sprinting and seeing what happens!" The girl growled at him. No way in hell is she gonna give into the urge to flee; she's seen enough horror flicks to know that running away from a beast that size won't do any good. Glancing over to Sani Toriko said, "Sani! Cover me!" The long haired man turned his back to both Toriko and beast and said as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Don' wanna."
Say wha now? That got Toriko panicking a bit as he went, "Oo!" "'t's bothersome. The rockdrum-though it's habitat is naturally near the beach, they're a few gluttonous wild beasts because of their demand for a lot of food they've advanced inland-tha's it, certainly?" Glancing back towards Toriko he continued nonchalantly, "After all, they're inferior animals that indulge their appetites (kinda like the blue haired hunter but she'll keep that bit to herself) It's a way of life that has abs'ltley no beauty, ne? And their appearance is clumsy too. The element of me opposing them is zero." Is this guy for real? He won't fight the animal cause it's not beautiful? The hell? "But it's meat is a delicacy! It's defeat value is 100!" Toriko cried at the long haired man. "Is there a lot of nutrition and such? If not, it's defeat value is zero." 'You've gotta be kidding me! The thing is getting closer and he won't fight cause of that reason?!' The girl thought as her nerves increased as said monster got closer. It was way bigger then the devil serpent! "Toriko-San, it's coming!" Komatsu cried out.
Ooh crap! It was bigger up close! Setsuna noticed that the hunter glanced at his hand for second. From the look on his face said that it hadn't healed completely from the earlier fight. The animal clasped both of its hand together and raised them above its head and slammed them down on where Toriko was. The hunter quickly dodged the attack and skidded to the side. She blinked slightly as the hunter prepared for an attack. Don't tell her he's gonna use that five ren punch thing. It was half the cause of why his hand was in that condition! But shouldn't he be closer in order to do that attack? He was, like, ten feet or so away. Watching as Toriko launched the attack at the animals clasped hands the attack had enough force to make a huge dent n the creature's hands and flung it away from him. Guess the attack changes the muscle mass in his arms cause the long sleeved shirt he was wearing became one sleeve thanks to the attack. "Ku.." He gritted out as his arm shivered. 'My overdoing it at the coliseum is resounding. I planned to recover it but from here on using rapid hit would be tough.' The hunter thought as he rested his other hand on the arm.
Her eyes widen as another rockdrum appeared behind him. "Toriko! Look out!" "Toriko-San! Behind you!" She and Komatsu called out to him. "Oh no!" Setsuna said as the animal was about to bring its foot down onto the hunter when something launched off its face and landed neatly to the side, close to Toriko. "Terry!" The hunter said in joy. The tomboy touched a few buttons on one of her gloves and said, "Super relaxation!" Smoke shot out from one of the gloves as she continued, "Eat this, you rock guy!" She gritted her teeth a bit. All she can do is stay out of their way. Hm? Shouldn't the animal be calming down? Why did it look like it was getting ready for a fi...awe crap! Don't tell her the tomboy mixed the battle frag or whatever with the relaxation thing! Lovely! As the woman scrambled around looking for the thing on her belt the full effect of the battle frag took over the beast. "Rin! Get out of there!" Setsuna cried out to the girl as the beast quickly stood up. The tomboy cried out in fear.
"Sani! Have you felt it yet?" Toriko said to the other man. Is he for real?! His sister is about to get attacked and he's just standing there like a fool! "This rockdrum thing's skin? It certainly has a unique flexibility to it but it's mostly fat that...has no charm!" "This is different!" The hunter said as he held up a piece of the rockdrum's skin. "His shell...! It's a shell that was able to attach beautiful calcium carbonate to super hard protein skin! The other man looked at him. Good. At least he has the pretty man's attention now. Smirking slyly slightly he continued. "Have you realized it yet? If you process this shell it can bring about the birth of a perfect beauty marble. What's said to be the most hard and beautiful marble in the world, it's raw material is this guy..!" Sani looked like he was thinking it over. "How about it? Isn't that a little more like your kind of defeat value?"
argh! Fools! The both of them! As she rushed over to at least try to rescue the tomboy she did a double take as some force literally sent the animal flying threw the air to some far off place in the distance. "What...the..." She muttered as Rin and Komatsu practically had their jaws to the ground on shock as Toriko whistled a bit. "Ah, sorr'. I sorta overdid it. But, well, it's a situation where I'll pay for my mistakes.. The final blown away figure was beautiful." The long haired man said. His hair looked ALIVE as it moved all over the place. Was...was that attack made from using his hair?! "Top class rare crystal materials for a super huge chandelier, a bohemia glass vase, space coloring flowers, modest ornaments of high class tableware, and the marble king "perfect beauty marble" table. Everything promotes the food. Its important support! Cooking pasta with a price, say, not even a few tens of yen. By the way it is presented on a plate the price jumps up several thousand yen- (why is it that so far everything he's saying makes her want to clock him one? this is becoming irritating now!) The situation of an amateur drawn on a not so hot painting with a picture frame suddenly it will look good. The imagination? Just an illusion?- Nah, wrong. In reality, rank of the pasta's taste gets higher. The picture begins to breathe. It's joint work so to speak. Beauty is a harmony. In that change meeting, there is art...! (why did that line make her think of Deidara's line "art's an explosion!" or whatever?) More' over! To seek the ingredients alone and such is the height of nonsense! (And what he's saying isn't?) To gush out inferior piece of junk animals, it's an action below the level of a maggot." "Hey! I resent that remark, ya lame brain!" She growled at him but got ignore as he continued as he whipped around to look at the group. "Get it, you guys?!" "I get it but the question is do I give two craps about it?"
Toriko and Rin snickered a bit as Sani glared a bit as she looked back at him smugly. Turning to face the rockdrum and picked up a piece of a shell and said, "Now then, this is also a chance meeting. Let's make harmony together. Promote my beauty. And as support you too will again be glorious." The girl watched in amazement the long man's hair seemingly come alive and moving around. The animal roared and raised a fist to attack. "Andrea! Komatsu! Get away! You'll be caught up in it!" The hunter told the two in a rushed panic. Eh? Just exactly how can they get away? "You should scatter beautif'lly." She heard Sani say right before he said, "Spatula!" And a moment later some sort of force once again flung the animal backwards and landed on its back. "How'zat? The feeling of taking your own punch." Sani said as the force continued to push the animal back. Just how is he doing that? "Meep?!" She squeaked in surprise as she was picked up by a warm solid arm wrapped around her. "Hey!" Was all she said as Setsuna heard Toriko say (don't these men remember that her name is suppose to be Setsuna?), "Come on, you two!"
"Waaah!" Komatsu cried out as he too was picked up and moved to some distance away from the long haired man. "About how far is the range, Sani?!" Toriko called over to him as he put the two down. "N... Oh, right. About 25 meters." "It's a lot wider than in the old days. Your dining kitchen." The hunter told him in slight surprise. Dining kitchen? What's that? Sani smirked a bit. "I'm amazed with your 5-hit nail punch, Toriko." Toriko gave a slight before saying proudly, "That's still not the most hits I can do, though! However, avoid damaging the meat as much as you can when you bring down the rockdrum, Sani." The girl could of sworn she heard a hmph come from the man but he was too far away to hear such a sound. "I don't care. My goal ain't the meat." "To...Toriko-San! What on earth is happening?!" Eh? Where is the chef? Looking around quickly she saw Komatsu hiding behind a rock. Oh dear. "Hey Komatsu! Get back over here!" Setsuna called over to him as the hunter said, "Come closer, Komatsu! You'll get caught!" "What does that mean?" The girl asked, looking up at the hunter as the chef called out from his hiding place. "Caught?! What you mean?!"
"It's Sani's touch! From the tips of his own hair he is able to stretch around his flexible touch. About .1 micron." The hunter explained as they watched the long haired man's hair continue to move about. So all the attacks Sani has made has been caused by using his hair? Consider her impressed! It didn't even occur to her that hair could be used for attacking, of course, considering how long and how thin hair is it makes sense. In this world of course. What the heck are these men to be using such moves? "Point one micron?! Though, about how much is that?" The smaller man asked in disbelief. "If an extremely thin spider thread is 50, so it's thickness is 1.. Anyway, you can't see it with the naked eye." "Well duh. Although it WOULD be kinda fun if one could." The girl said as she glanced over to the fight. "Wonder what that would look like..." It would be a sight to see all the different hair strands moving. She didn't know the hunter frowned slightly at the comment as a wave of jealousy went through him before he squished it flat. "B..but something that thin would be easily cut, wouldn't it? Surely like a spider web.." Komatsu started before the hunter could continue. "Spider's thread is fairly strong. But Sani's touch is a different dimension. Manipulated at his will, one string of his touch's tensile strength is 250g. Sani's touch is the strongest thread of that width on the earth. I can't even cut it. That sort of thing can, from just a number of hairs, can extend to an infinite amount. In total, there are no less than 200,000, and they're a tough bunch of threads! With that degree of power he's able to lift such as this as the mammoth easily!"
Setsuna, ah forget it, meant as well use her real name since the boys can't even remember to use the alias. Andrea whistled low as the chef turned to look at Sani in amazement. "It...it looked like he was carrying that mammoth with one hand. So there were many invisible touches supporting it?" Sani looked over and noticed that there was one left of the rockdrum. "That so...there's just one left." He watched the animal, waiting for it to make a move. 'Don't come 'ny closer. He has a wild intuition.' The animal reached up to it's shoulder and ripped off a piece of its shell. "Why would it tear off its own shell?" She asked Rin and Komatsu stared in shock. Looking over her eyebrow twitched as the hunter just calmly continued to eat the grass. Really now?! He couldn't till AFTER the fight or something?! Without warning the animal threw the shell at Sani. "He threw it?" Andrea wondered aloud as someone repeated/shouted the words. Sani just stood there calmly as the shell hurled towards him. Ai, ai, ai. What will it take to ruffle the feathers of these people? "Hair net." Sani said simply once the shell got closer and if she didn't know any better it looked like a giant net caught the shell just mere inches from his face (with the long haired man wearing a wide cocky smirk) and the shell literally bounced BACK towards the animal. "No way! Did it just bounce back?!" Andrea exclaimed in surprise as the chef next to her shouted in a dramatic fashion, "It bounced baaaack!"
She giggled slightly. Wonder if it was wrong to laugh at someone in such a state? "Sani's counterattack, spatula!" Toriko told them between mouthfulls. "Are you still eating at a time like this?!" The girl growled at him as she and Komatsu watched as Toriko had an armful of the black grass and continued to eat. "Why'd he blow away the first one to that degree. It was an awesome sort of power, eh." Judging from the look on the tomboy's face the reason was quite clear. The group watched as the beast stood up and charged at the long haired man. "Ah.. It was right to be vigilant about close range fighting. He would be helplessly entering into Sani's dining kitchen." Toriko told them as he popped more food into his mouth. "Dining kitchen?" Both she and the chef asked at the same time. "Touch's range. 25 meters!" The hunter said as the beast got close to Sani. She wasn't good at judging distances but if she had to guess the rockdrum had to be in less then twenty meters. "He entered. Hair lock!" The long haired man said as the animal suddenly froze as if locked into place. The man smirked as he told the beast, "Now from here, the preicous marble won't fall apart when cooked. Before cooking it has to be precisely tied up."
"Huh? Suddenly it's movement stopped." Komatsu said, staring as the beast strained to move. "At the moment it's tied up in Sani's touch, it's over. Even with the rockdrum's power, escape is impossible! Next, slowly...itwill just be cooked. Sani's high level body nature sense is what's called .1 microns to the superfine hair's tip, it extends to every nook and cranny. Sense of touch, pain, heat, and warmth are natural. With what are called skin taste buds the touch function even includes taste sensors. It can be said that it lightly surpasses the hand as a sense organ." So in other words when Toriko and gang first met Sani it was like he was being licked and tasted by his senors. No wonder Toriko looked disgusted. "Dining kitchen is when Sani's touch extends to something inside it's range. Inside that, all ingredients and game are freely cooked and tasted." The animal made some sort a choking noise. "Cooking completely!"
