The bone man smirked a bit as he stared at Takimaru. "N.. That was a pretty weird technique..." Bogie started. "Dislodging bones, huh? Or more like, joints? So the attack in the beginning that ripped me out of my lodge was that one." So the moves Takimaru was doing have to do with bones? That's neat...but could someone get her free from the dead guy? It's creepy! Takimaru slowly stood up, coughing a bit, panting slightly as he spoke, "...No way... The bone I dislodged was the spine.." Wait...if that attacked nailed that guy's spine then...how the heck is he even standing?! He should be paralyzed if not dead! "What I dislodged was the lumbar vertebra. Normally the nerves in your legs would be paralyzed, they should be numb and you shouldn't be able to move them. Rather..with just violent hip pain or a strained back a large shouldn't be able to move them. How is he standing so calmly?!" Cause he a freak? Whatever. This point she didn't care..her arms were killing her, her front fricken ached from being slammed and chances are good passing out will happen..
"I seriously want down.." The girl muttered as Bogie laughed and said with a cocky smirk. "Incomprehensible..? It's nothing like that. My bone structure is completely different from a normal human's. (Was that bragging she heard?) The number of bones and shape of the strucures are completely different." That shocked the young man a bit but what he said next shocked even her as he continued. "But the number of bones I have is about 4,000...! Also my joints and muscles are as flexible as a ballerina's, and what's more it's possible to detach them!" To prove his point he did something to his forearm to make it into a z shape. Talk about gross... Can someone seriously beam her outta here?
The admission stunned Takimaru, who stared at him in disbelief. "Fufu... With my technique, I put on the bodies (sooooo gross!) of various living creatures as my lodge. Not just humans, it's possible for me to enter the bodies of living things with complex body shapes. With so many bones and joints I'm able to move more complex bodies. I can already enter most living things.." 'The reason I couldn't read the trajectory of this guy's attacks was because of the many bones and joints.' The young man thought warily as he stared at Bogie. This was going to be a ough fight.. "Nevertheless, let's accurately assess your removal of my hipbone. If I were a normal man (at least someone admits to not being normal) then the battle was settled but... Unfortunately for you, even with part of my spine dislodged, my body is supported by other bones. As well, my nerves can communicate with my whole body through other bones."
Reaching behind his back the bone man pulled out a small hand scythe and what appeared to be a five pound weight. The young man was surprised at the items. What...the...? "A sickle...and a weight..?!" Takimaru exclaimed while the bone man got ready for his attack, a dark look appearing on his face. "Understand? Now I'll settle this." Bogie told him, his arm with the weight doing something strange before it went flying towards Takimaru in a circular motion. As the young knight managed to barely dishe the blows Andrea couldn't help bug notice that the way the attack was moving it reminded of a whip. Wait...oook. Arm substituting as a whip has just been added to the growing list of strange things appearing. Apparently she wasn't the only one who noticed as Takimaru dodged the last attack he started, shocked a bit, "Th...this is.." Bogie chuckled slightly as he confirmed for him, "So you noticed? That's right." As he stood there his arm swung in a circle, as if a rope. 'A sickle and chain! He's using his joints of his own body as the chain..' Takimaru thought to himself, trying to figure out his next move.
Before he could his opponent shouted mockingly at him, "Can you read these moves?!" Her eyes widen when the attack landed a blow on the young man then the next attack nailed him in the gut, causing Takimaru to cough up blood once more. 'Th..this is bad... I can't read the paths of his attacks at all...! Unless I go into his attack range..!' Takimaru thought at the same time the girl thought, 'This is really bad! Unless he comes up with a plan he's toast!' Andrea watched on when he (Takimaru) charged forward without warning, catching Bogie off guard for a moment longed enough to send his attack in the same place as before. Doubtful that'll work but who was she to talk? She was like a hanging piece of meat and it was probably the most hateful feeling. Ever.
The man sneered before yelling, "What the hell was that?! That ain't gonna work on me!" Takimaru yelled in pain when the bone man sliced a blow across his chest. Damn that looks deep.. After that blows were exchanged, though it was hard to call it that when the damage was mostly dealt by the bone man to the young man. In between blows she could hear the man mock, "Useless...! No matter how many times you dislodge them.. It's useless you idiot..!" The final blow landed on Takimaru throwing him back and falling to the ground, bloody and exhausted.. Bogie looked down at him with a cocky expression that just begged to get wiped off, cocky ass jerk!. "It's too bad for you, seems I'm the most incompatible opponent for you..." "! Takimaru! Stay awake!" Crap! He looks like he was about to go unconscious! He can't pass out now! Even though he took a lot of damage and has a lot of broken bones... No..wake up!
D..damn.. Takimaru could hear the girl's voice slowly fading into the background. He was losing conscious.. Is this has far as he goes..? Takimaru wondered to himself, his mind slowly fading to black when he suddenly recalled the words of the person he most admired. How when he was attacking he couldn't lose focus and must concentrate. Bogie, assuming he had put the young knight down for good, started to walk away when he suddenly noticed something behind him. The two watched, one with a stunned look and the other extremely happy, as Takimaru stood up. "How can he stand...with that much damage..?" The bone man asked himself in surprise. That was one thing the girl kinda wondered herself given that her friend was cut up badly and one heck of a bloody mess. The young knight bumped his fists together, getting ready to do his pre shot routine. "There's still something left I haven't done..." Takimaru informed him, a look of pure determination on his face.
As he started the routine he closed his eyes to concentrate as Bogie sighed a bit then asked, tone full of exasperation and "not this again", "That again...? Does doing that charm sorta thing make your attack strength go?" A shiver went through her at his (Bogie's) expression as he stalked over, saying, "Well, fine. I've got something I've left undone, too." What was taking his attack so long?! The girl wondered as she watched the bone man was right in front of Takimaru. "What I still need to do is put the finishing stab into you." "Takimaru!" Andrea watched in horror as the man suddenly stabbed the young man in his chest with the sickle. Blood spewed from the wound and spattered onto Bogie's face as the man smirked at him before telling the young man, "So long." The smirk quickly dropped when Takimaru's face didn't change. Did he land a blow on him? The bone man stared at him, Takimaru said, "It made it... The pre-shot routine.."
That set off him (Bogie). Baring his teeth at the young man he growled, "Wh...what?! No way... This is a fatal wound, isn't it?!" "The charm I just did..." Takimaru started to explain calmly, "isn't for making my techniques stronger...! It was a pre-shot routine done to sustain my concentration absolutely unflinchingly regardless of any pain I feel...!" He punched his fist into his palm. "This is my final attack..!" Bogie stared a bit then got a cocky grin before replying. "...Fu...fu.. No matter what you think... It's just the last of the attacks that we know are useless, isn't it?! Haven't you learned they don't work?!" That cocky little... She gritted her teeth a bit. Being a spectator was fine but hanging like this while watching these guys fight is NOT what a person could call fun! "The one who needs to learn is you...that I haven't performed a single useless attack.." Takimaru told him, thinking back to what Bogie himself had said earlier in the fight.
Even with all those bones and joints, the young knight had wondered to himself earlier, he said he could enter most. Did that mean...did that mean there were creatures he couldn't enter? If so, did that mean there were bones that couldn't be removed? Realization slowly dawned on the hone man as Takimaru continued. "With all the Sennuki shots I threw.. I realized you were delicately sliding something away from the point that I hit." Eh? He did? Damn freak. Bogie suddenly noticed that he had cut too deeply into his enemy, meaning he would have to yank out his hand with some trouble. Shit.. A sharp look appeared on the young man's face. "Is there something there? Something like a bone you don't want dislodged?" Takimaru's questions seemed to nerve him a bit. Guess that meant yes. Unnerved him enough to use the hand with weight and hit him full in the face, forcing his head back.
Being unfazed by the attack he continued. "I found it." Putting his fists on a spot Takimaru shouted, "Its heere!" Eh?! How'd the hell are his arms twisting like a corkscrew?! "I want off this roller coaster.." Andrea sighed at the same time Bogie grunted in pain. "Or at least a refund.." "Pop out!" He shouted, finishing his attack. Something appeared to literally pop OUT of his opponent. "Yea..I want a refund.." Bogie yelled in agony. "This...this braat.." Bogie's body stood there as it shivered, stuck in a pose. What did he take out of him? "He...he took out my sacrum...!" Sacrum...isn't that...oh what was that shape again? Inverted triangle?...located in the center of the pelvis that's key for the skeletal structure and the foundation of the spinal support?
Think, think..what will happen if something is done...oh! If that slips, disks in the neck and spine will occur...um...something about negative influence on blood flow and lymphs... Damn. Wished she had her damn book with her work... Stupid memory.. Panting in exhaustion, Takimaru spoke. "I knew it was there... The sacrum...! The foundation that supports your 4,000 bones...! Its shape is different from the kind commoningly found, though... Not just the shape.. The place as well... My sacrum isn't in my pelvis...!" Bogie started to panic. How the heck isn't it in the pelvis? "With just that much attacking and defending you found the location of my sacrum..!" The knowledge itself wasn't that surprising. What was surprising was the young man's strength of will...! While having taken all that damage to make his technique work successfully, that guy must have some real power of concentration.
Yea! Takimaru won! Exhaustion overcame him, causing him to fall flat on his face. Not to be cruel but so much for asking him to help get her down. "Just rest, Takimaru. You did great. Don't worry bout the soup. I'm sure things will turn out alright." Andrea told him gently. Man...how disappointed he must be to come this far and get like this when his goal is not far. Small movement from the bone man caught her eye. "Eh? How can he...? What is he looking at?" Looking to where his gaze went and saw a strange bone thing on the ground. He's trying to get to that? Talk about stubborn! "Niku tataki head!" A deep voice shouted. Then something large suddenly appeared and did a head slam RIGHT on top of the bone, surprising them both. Though his expression was funnier than hers.. Dang...that guy missed the bone. Hope that won't bite them later.. Bogie breathed out a sigh of relief as Match shoutded out as he made a motion with his sword, "Ittou ryu-dan kabu ki giri!" That had to be a mouthful..
Watching from the sideline wasn't that bad at all.. Though the attack missed the huge bulky man, it instead cleanly sliced the bone in half, much to Bogie's dismay. On the bright side at least there's one less jerk to worry about. To think this place was as far as he could go.. The bone man collapsed next to Takimaru, both rendered unable to fight by each other's attacks. Hopefully the young man was alright.. The girl was sure there broken bones but the extent was unknown.. "Damn.." Match's voice caught her attention and she watched him put his sword away. His clothes were all torn up, sure looked like he lost the war. An annoyed look was on the yakuza's face as he continued, voice showing his displeasure, "Who's the one running away? For someone with a big body you're a quick bastard.."
The bulky man laughed a bit before he said, "You shouldn't judge me by how I look. You incompetent yakuza. Trash of society is trash after all. Looks like you don't even have the ability to measure my true power." Question: why was he sweating? Shouldn't it have frozen to his skin or something? Something is off with this guy.. The black hair yakuza, rum was it?, shouted, "We don't wanna be labeled trash of society by someone like one of you bishoukaki idiots!" Before more could be said Match cut him off. "You three, fall back." The vice boss narrowed his eyes a bit as he stared at the bulky opponen. There were many unexplained things bout this guy.. Without warning the large man charged forward towards him, shocking him with his speed. How the heck can he move so fast in this weather?! Match barely had time to block the attack and grunted with the effort from the force from the attack. Hope he can handle him..
Argh...! She really wants down! Her arms were killing her! Glancing over at Takimaru showed he was still out. "I so want down..." Andrea muttered, continuing to watch the yakuza fight. The force of the attacks forced him (Match) to move back slowly as he barely staved off the bulky man. What is with that guy?! How the hell could he do backflips away from him or even do it in the first place?! Barry charged forward again but this time his attack nailed the blonde boss, causing him to cough up blood. "Match!" The girl called out as his underlings went, "Vice boss!" "You pi-g!" Pointing their guns at him they fired at him but he only had a disgusted look and quickly his skin became slick. Ewwwww! Match took advantage of his distraction and made a move but the bulky man went and jumped into a ball, protecting himself from the attack. Match glanced behind him and noticed he only left scratches in the man's armor. "Damn." The vice boss muttered to himself.
What kind of armor is that? Ice crushed underneath th heavy man when he landed and gave another laugh. "Pretty nice sword you got there. You cut my shell.. Not a crack in it.." Barry told him, slightly impressed at the feat. A slight dark look appeared on the yakuza's face as he replie back, "...That's my line... So hard my katana couldn't cut you.. That's some pretty good protection." "Kukuku... That's true." the bulky man admitted as he continue. "It's made by processing a certain turtle. The violent turtle of the sea... Known as the living torpedo... The crushdile! (She smelled another rip off) It's shell's strength and durability is the highest in the natural world..! It's hardness and fracture toughness surpasses iron many times over. Now master craftsmen make pots and many other utensils out of it. (That'll be awesome to have as cooking ware) But then, the crush dile is level 60. So in this world it's a preicous good that doesn't appear on the market often."
Match was silent for a moment before responding. "Is that right? What I was most surprised with though, was your movements... Reactions so fast that you can take on my attacks.. Your movement speed.. In the middle of this place below freezing and without wearing any insulating clothing, how can you be so nimble?" Barry was quiet for a moment then made a noise before more liquid appeared on his body. "So gross.." Andrea muttered as the yakuza exclaimed in surprise, "What the..?!" "Sweat?" "This ain't sweat. It's anti-freeze." Say Wha?! 'Anti freeze. In places like Antarctica where the ocean waters get to 0 and below, fish that live in it produce non freezing proteins (natural anti freeze) inside their bodies. This is said to protect their bodies from being frozen.' 'Where the hell have you been?! I'm in serious trouble over here!' Andrea growled at the female. Wish a name was given... A growl was in heard before the female voice growled low. 'Watch your tone little missy. What are you talking about?' 'I'm hanging up like a piece of meat so excuse me for not being joyful!' 'Say what?! What happened?!'Andrea quickly explained and blinked a bit as an unfamiliar language was spoken and she thought the woman said she'll be right there but couldn't be sure on that.
"Anti-freeze. I see.." Match commented, everything starting to make a bit more sense. "So that's how you can maintain your body heatin the middle of this below zero environment. And how the machine gun's bullets slip off your skin.. So you gushed out a lotta that stuff and abated the friction of the bullets?" Eh? She didn't quite understand how that was possible.. The man laughed once again and said something bout how boxers put on vaseline all over their eyelids and such in order to avoid being cut by the friction of the gloves. Now that made more sense.. "But the smoothness of my anti-freeze can't be compared to Vaseline." "But I stll don't understand... Your reaction and speed." Match started before the bulky man interrupted, "Don't you get it, you bastard?! I ain't fast!" Eh?! What did tha...Oooh crap... He's right. It's Match who has become slow due to the temperatures here. Why didn't she realize sooner?!
The scarred man caught on too late when the bulky man suddenly appeared right in front of him saying, "You're slow." With that Barry punched him square in the stomach, once again forcing him to cough up blood but didn't get the chance to recover when another blow was given and sent him flying back. Damn this was becoming nasty... Match drew his sword as he quickly recovered and rushed forward roaring. His opponent was unfazed as he used his helmet to stop the assault and merely stated, "You sure are slow." Match unleased a series of attacks, all easily blocked and countered, another attack nailed the vice boss square in the face once again and sent him flying. "Match.." Damn..it totally sucked being stuck like this but then again... What could she do if free? "Vice boss!" "Match-san!" His underlings called out in dismay.
"You.. Could it be that you actually think you can move as fast as you always do? When it's below zero?" Barrygamon asked, watching Match sit up and grunt a bit from the blows. "In this kind of environment the flexibility of muscles falls and the movement range of joints is narrowed, too. People absolutely can't perform at their best and such when their body heat's low. That's why top athletes take plenty of time to warm up. On top of my body not freezing when its below the freezing point with this anti-freeze, with a special protein my body temperature is kept high. In other words... (He's an ass?) my body is always at top gear! I'm in a state where I can always give my best performance. So now do you understand the reason why you guys who're dulled in the intense cold can't keep up with me?" Man that guy's voice grated on the nerves...
"Damn... So this place is your arena?" Match mused, sitting up more. So that was the reason why that guy looked so fast.. His (Match) movement had dulled... With it being like that his instant force had lowered in the cold so the techniques power and speed had slowed which meant.. He would need to have more swing breadth.. Slowly standing up and got into a relaxed pose, he prepared for his attack using his exhaustion. Upon seeing this the bulky man went, "Oh? All right, so you've decided to man and accept your death! I'll crush you into mincemeat in a second!" With that said he quickly charged forward towards the vice boss. Hmph...highly doubted that man decided to give in. He was no doubt preparing his final attack against him.
The attack made against him surprised both him and the girl as they both looked over at the underlings, all three ready to fight. "You only good at charging straight in, you boar bastard?" The black haired man asked as another said, " Try changing direction once in a while." "Hey, come at us. We'll be your opponents..!" Shin said with a cocky grin. The girl bit a smile back. They'll stall for time until Match's exhaustion was complete. Definitely mob with those attitides.. Barry stared at them for a minute then replied, "A~~~ In this deep cold they won't go bad, but.." A shiver went down her back as his look turned dark. "It seems for now three pieces of kitchen waste have shown up!" Those guys will have to put up with it for a little while as the time to take a complete perfect exhaustion was...three minutes. "The quota is.." Ram, the black haired man, started as Shin cut in, "1 minute per man!" "I guess it's on.." The last one said. The trio quickly charged towards the much larger man. She did not see this ending well for them. A noise was heard behind her. What the?!
Doing her best to turn her head towards the sound. "Oh...God...gross.." From the corner of her eye she groaned as she watched some sort of bug crawled out of the dead man's mouth and go into his ear. "That thing is the size of my thumb... Just stick to munching on this ass and all is good bug cause I will gnaw my arms off before I let you touch me.." Groaning in despair whn suddenly a loud smack and something hitting the ground. Whipping her head back towards the fight her eyes widen when one of the trio was on the ground, down for the count. That..that bastard! One hit will kill these guys! Damn...talk about loyalty to their boss if they are willing to do this without a moment's hesitation.. "Hey, hey. At least give me ten seconds per man!" The bulky man said in a cocky tone. Jerk! A look of rage appeared on the vice boss's face as he growled, "You...you bastard..!" "Match-san!" Ram (or was it rum?) called out when without warning the one on the ground, Shin, suddenly attached himself to the enemy's leg. Even injured more he still...? "This...this guy...!" Barry exclaimed in surprise.
"Shin...!" Match started when Ram told him, "Pleased continue to exhaust, Match-san. Believe in us..!" Whoa...her respected for these men went up so far that it was on par with Toriko. Anger can cause strain on the muscles and ruin the attack. Even with this magma of anger about to erupt in him.. He must completely relax and exhaust. With just that sentence from Ram, he cooled his head and gently calmed his anger instead of forcing it. While quietly calmly angering he softly put a lid on the intense feelings as he continued to prepare but when the time came...it would bring bout a huge swing breadth. As the vice boss calmed the bulky man flipped and started to kick at the already injured man while shouting, "Why don't you just die?! Quietly! Go to the next workd, you trash bastards!"
"How horrible..! Your the largest piece of trash I've ever seen!" Andrea growled at him as she watched the horried spectical as the other blonde man gave a yell and tried attack using his sword only to have it break in half on the first try. "Niku tataki head!" Barry shouted, doing a head butt right on the underlings' head, blood pouring down from his face as he was about to lose consciousness until at the last second as he was about to collapsed he slammed the half of his sword into his foot. Whoa... These guys have guts.. As the guy kneeled huffing and trying to stay awake as the larger man raised his foot preparing to stomp him. "You cut your foot to stimulate yourself and stop from falling unconious, huh? How useless.. I'll put you to asleep again soon." Just as he was about to bring his foot down when the tip of an ice gun was pointed directly into his side as Ram said, "You, go to sleep." And shot him point in the side, the force making the bulky man go flying a bit.
The larger man gave a scowl and growled, "What? You want to die first?" The spot that was shot was uninjured and smoke lightly coming off of it. The black haired man grimaced a bit. "Shit.. Even shooting his body at point blank range did nothing...?" Barry vanished for a moment then reappeared shouting, "Mince lariat!" Using his arm the large man used the attack to hit the black hair underling square in the face, the force of the attack throwing him to the ground. As if the attack done wasn't enough the brute unleashed three more attacks which landed on the poor man's stomach, chest and head. "You bastard! He's down for the count! Stop it! You'll kill him!" The girl shouted at him before she could stop herself. Barry merely ignored her, lifting his fist, her face palming more as blood dripped off it, from the bloody mess and laughed a bit.
"What a nice look for you. The three of you together could only hang on for a minute and a half?" The large man asked, the black haired man coughed up blood. "You bastard..." Andrea growled low and did her best not to flinch when the man turned to look at her. "Awfully gutsy, talking trash while hanging like a piece of meat." Urk. No denying that. Glancing over to Match she blinked a bit at the dark look on his face. No need to wonder if the vice boss was angry about what was happening to his subordinates. Arms suddenly wrapped around one of Barry's legs, which surprised both her and the man. "Shin..." Holy crap...even when down for the count he was still fighting.. Damn.. "N...not...yet... You boar bastard..." The blonde man got out as he hung on, face full of determination and anger.
The look on his opponent's face got real dark then clasped his hands together before raising them then slammed them down hard on the subordinate and repeated the action while shouting with annoyance in his voice, "Persistent, aren't you..! You pieces of trash-!" Match watched on calmly and wondered to himself just how huge a swing would be born from this anger. The girl looked away, unable to continue watching the sicking display. She had to stop raging at the large man, to continue to do so would be dishonoring the promise those three had made but...! But it was so hard to watch and not be able to do something! On the other hand, how hard must it be on Match? How hard it must be to watch his friends and must remain calm? Damn, damn and double damn!
"Hurry up and diiiiiiiie!" Barrygamon shouted one last time as he brought the final blow down on Shin. At this point it was highly doubtful the man could feel anything any more. "Ma..match-san... We're...counting...on...you...to...avenge..us!" Shin barely managed to get out before he passed out. At least Andrea hoped he passed out.. The look on Match's face darken more as the time limit was reached. Finally. Three minutes had elapsed. "Mincing complete~~~ Kukkukku, trash like this, no matter how much i mince it, it can't be used in any sorta cooking." It took everything in her not to snap. That low life piece of...! A movement from the vice boss once again caught her and the enemy's attention. "Match...?" Andrea started when suddenly Barry got a cocky grin on his face. "The three pieces of kitchen scraps I finished off... They were your comrades, right? You'd better put 'em out for garbage collection. Ah, that's impossible.." Match said nothing as the bulky man charged at him. "Because now I'll make you into garbage, too. Into stinking kitchen scraps!"
To get things off topic for a moment...does that guy have a garbage phobia or something? Practically since the fight began he kept making trash references. Match didn't make a move even as the man charged at him when all of a sudden it seemed like the vice boss had become a erupting volcano and moved so fast that it seemed like she had just blinked and missed the movement till she saw him kneeling far from behind Barry. He (Match) let out a small sigh as the two tried to process on what had just happened. Barry turned around and stared at the scar man in confusion. "Hey you... Those protectors... I'm sure you said they were made from a turtle's shell, right..?" Match asked, standing up slowly as he put away his sword.
Yea..the jerk mentioned something about that turtle earlier...but what does that got to do with anything? Andrea wondered even as the bulky man just stood there still trying to process the situatio. Turning slightly to face him, a slight grin on his face, Match continued, "I'll tell you what my weapon is made of, too.." Bringing his sword up closer he unsheathed it a bit as a dark look came over. "This katana is made from a certain dragon's fang. (Whatever point the man was trying to make it wasn't lost on his enemy of his looke was any indication) Those fangs can tear apart and chew apart anything in this world... (No offense but it seemed like he was dragging this on longer than nesscessary so hopefully he'll end it. Soon. Cause getting down would be awesome) The owner of these fangs is the king of the aquatic dragons, the leodragon! The monster that can crush the shell of and preys on the violent turtle of the sea, the crush turtle."
That sentence seemed to have startled Barry since it caused him to gasp in shock. Match glanced over to his subordinates with a sorrowful look and said quietly, "Ram...Shin...Louei... I've avenged you.." The girl's heart gave a small pang for them. They put up such a fight. A loud crack drew her attention over to the large man and saw his large belt had been cut in half. Love of everything holy don't tell her his cloths are gonna fall off! There's only so much a girl can take and THAT would be beyond disgusting! He wasn't even good looking! (Though she'll keep that to herself lest someone took it the wrong way) "It...it's been cut...!? This strongest of protection...?!" The bulky man exclaimed in shock as the vice boss explained, "The greatest exhaustion and the biggest anger... The leodragon's method of hunting is to go from total suppression of its presence to attacking instantaneously. (Well, that explained his fighting methods)" Match brought the sword closer to his face to look at it as he finished. "The famous sword Ryuuou! This might be the first time I've fully utilized it!"
He sounded proud from over there. A second later a large wound behind the belt appeared and gushed out blood. "I..I've been...by trash..." The bulky man started as the wound traveled quickly up, blood gushing in its wake e en as his helmet cracked he shouted one last time in shock, "By pieces of tra-ash!" "The one who's trash is you..." Match told him as he walked away even as blood literally erupted from the man behind him. "A huge hunk of trash." Taking a few more feet before the scarred man collapsed to one knee, using his sword as support, breathing heavy. He couldn't believe their luck! Somehow...somehow he won...! Although he can say that there was no confidence in them it a lot of force to say those words.
He was aware of the truth, the opponents he and Takimaru had fought were at a vastly higher level than those two were. Those two that were distantl inferior in power could not say they won with true confidence. It was far too early for those two with vastly inferior power to be convinced they won. One could consider it a selfish desire... The sacrum popped out of Bogey, the other bones were moblizing to compensate for it and the mending of nerve communication was in the process of being completed (though Match wasn't aware of it). And he wasn't aware of the organs he had cut in Barry was being pasted together due to the Gori scallions the man had stored in his skin. The vice boss was solely focusing on his body, which refused to move. Damnit...he knew it..
His body wouldn't listen to him due to the breadth of the swing from his exhaustion was too big.. "Match.. Match!" A feminine voice startled him out of his thoughts and turned his attention to the girl. Setsuna... Andrea.. Whatever her name was was looking at him in concern and worry as she continued. "Don't worry bout finishing those two off. I think you've got some time before any surprises happen.." His eyes widen a bit. How'd she know that was his next thought. "Just concentrate on recovering. Once you can move again then finish them. And don't worry about Toriko. He'll be fine." He blinked a bit at the smile of confidence. Even though she looked like she was in pain she can still have confidence in others..? Heh...like hell he's gonna sit pretty and let someone else fight these tough opponents. Even being in her position she still fought on. It would be quite shameful and shameful indeed to sit here...considering he was the only one who could still move. If Toriko's here...he can still fight!
"I need to lend Toriko a hand...!" The vice boss exclaimed as he shakily stood up. "Stubborn man.." The girl said with a slight smile when suddenly the sharp feeling of knifes going through her body startled her. Judging from the look on the vice boss's face he had the same feeling and at the same time both whipped their heads towards only to see Toriko's intimdation fighting with a octopus-like monster. "W..what the hell?!" Andrea exclaimed as Match gave a yell of shock at the sight. Bugs of every size and shape quickly lounged towards the hunter in an attack but Toriko, who gave a yell, quickly countered it with a series of his fork attack that just as quickly took thr insects out.
Just where the heck did that many bugs come from?! It's impos.. Wait.. Glancing over to the pink haired man realization dawned on her. He produced that many in so short of time? Ewwwww.. Unfortunately, the attack had missed some of the insects and they successfully made it to and started to burrow unto Toriko's body. Veins appeared under his eyes as he gave a "Ooo" sound before using his muscles to literally push the bugs out of his body and giving a shout as he did so. 'Is it wrong to be impressed by that? Cmon. He did it not once but twice and with even more bugs!' Andrea mused to herself, despite being unsure about whether to be highly impressed over the control the hunter had over his muscles or to not drool. Damn...she wasn't some horny teenager but still! ...Still nothing. Now wasn't the time nor place to be even looking at him in such a fashion or even that way at all.
The sound of Toriko's punch snapped her to attention. Her jaw practically dropped as the bug man quickly replaced the fallen insects with new ones in no time flat. Talk about disgusting.. Ugh.. Now she's starting to sound like Sani.. "Damn..." Toriko muttered as he stared at the newly birthed insects. Just what he needed.. He spared a glance at his frozen hand.. Just a little more time, huh? Without warning two insects came out of nowhere and landed on his back. "!" He quickly looked and saw the dynamite like insects sitting there. The bug man gave a loud roar of excitement. Those guys are really dangerous! The bug man killed something and a loud click was heard from Toriko's back.
A bright loud and a loud explosion occurred a second later, covering everything. The force of the explosion forced Match to cover his face and the girl to turn her face away, her hair flying all over the place. Tommy still had that creepy grin as he watched on. Wha...what's with this fight... Matched wondered as the light slowly died down. Those guys were on a totally different plane. There was no way he could go in at all! Oh no! Toriko! Please please please let him be alright! As the smoke cleared the three of them (Andrea, Match and Tommyrod) were shocked at the sight. There stood Toriko, smoking a bit and the only thing lost in the explosion was his shirt. The girl's face blushed deeply at the sight and quickly looked away. Damnit! Now was definitely NOT the time to be drooling! (Yes he did look quite hot and that's the only thing she'll admit)
The creepy smile the bug man had only got creepier as he laughed and then said, "Your clothes were caught right in the explosion, and were blown oooff!? Hahahaha hey, can you fight without insulated clothi-ng, Toriko?" A shiver went down her spine at the look the large hunter had on his face. "Don't worry. Because in just a second I'm gonna pound your funny looking face in." The hunter informed him as Match walked up from behind saying, "That's rash, Toriko." Toriko glanced behind to see the vice boss had removed his shirt and was holding it out to him. "In these below freezing conditions... You can't fight without a rider suit... Use mine..." "Match.." Toriko said, looking at him in slight surprise. Despite the gallant gesture even Andrea could see him shaking from the cold. (On a different note he, Match, also had a very nice body! despite being covered in scars. If this was in a different place in a different setting she wouldn't believe her luck).
The bug man said nothing as he watched on. "I want to fight with you, but unfortunately, I... Much less than lending you a hand, I'd be holding you back... It's humiliating but... This is all I can do to help..." The vice boss finished. "Better then me, Match. I can't even help even if I wanted to.." Andrea said but it was highly doubtful that she was heard. The hunger was silent as he stared at the scarred man before glancing over to his companions and saw that their fights are over. Without warning the bugs started to head towards them. "! To..Toriko behind you!" Match explained, panic clearly in his voice. "Match..." Toriko said calmly as he walked over, unaffected by the fact that the insects were heading their way. A gentle look was on his (Toriko's) face as he continued. "You did well.. Thank you."
Andrea smiled softly at the sight. Just like him, not to be fazed at all by the oncoming attack and thanked Match and the others for the pain they had taken. A giggle escaped her when she saw the surprised look the scarred man had on his face. Torik placed a hand on his (Match's) shoulder and told him, "You use the rider suit... I don't need it." The girl made a low groan in her throat. Yea he didn't look like the cold was affecting him and yea the vice boss needed it more but..Argh. Whatever. Much as she wanted to make a comment in that remark she was in no place to say anything. The wind brought a very unusual scent over to her. Eh? Why...did it smell like a forest? And where was it coming from? "Toriko..." Match said, noticing the smell as well and thought it was like being in a forest. Both Match and Andrea noticed at that exact moment that bugs, which weren't that far from the men, stop and just sat there, staring at them.
What?! Why weren't they attacking?! Glancing over to the men once again Andrea had the feeling that the scent she was getting was involved in the strange behavior and that Toriko was the cause. Tommyrod had a strange dark crazy look as he looked over to his fallen comrades. "What is this..." He started before he shouted in anger and disbelief. "What!? Did you lose, you guuuys?!" The shout snapped the two men out of their conversation and quickly looked over to the bug man as his face darken even more. "I don't need you any more. The most you can be is food for the bugs." Tommyrod said coldly. W..what did he just say?! Yea those jerks were assholes but they were his companions! Didn't he have any comradeship towards them?! Her eyes widen as he pointed his finger towards them and the bugs quickly headed over. H..hey! Their still alive! I know this creep is dead but I'm still alive! I don't wanna be bug fooood!" Andrea exclaimed in shock as Match exclaimed in shock as well. "Hey, they're not dead yet!"
Toriko's face darken and clenched his fists clench before he gave a loud roar. "Eek!" Andrea went as she once again felt the force as Match also felt it as well as it quickly destroyed the bugs before it reached the group. Steam rose up from the hunter's body as he glared darkly at the bug man. "Thank your comrades a litte for the fighting they've done." Tommyrod said nothing, just stared at the hunter. The vice boss watched on in shock, trying to figure out what just happened and why the very air shook for a moment. And the air, it was so hot! Was it coming from Toriko's body?! Tommy gave a chuckle before replying, "How childish.." A bug started to emerge from his mouth and got a cold expression. (Hope to whatever that guy did NOT have a girlfriend cause who the hell would kiss him?!) "Guys who don't do their job are just trash. So isn't it fine to kill them?" "! What is with you people?! It's not a crime to lose!" The girl started when the hunter said firmly, "Andrea. Be quiet." She bit back a remark. If this situation wasn't so dangerous there'd be more words. The bug man's throat and mouth buled in a way that reminded her of a frog but it was still gross.
A moment later bee-like insects emerged and started to head towards the larger man. "Hurry up and die-" Tommy shouted. Wonder if he knew he sounded like a b rated movie villian? The hunter had a look of pure confidence and determination. "Tommyrod! You're the kind of lowlife one doesn't see too often... Of all the bugs, you're the biggest pest!" Toriko informed him.
