The fanfic is based with a tonberry in it as the main hero (alongside Yuna), so if you don't like tonberries, stop reading this fanfic and read something else. otherwise, enjoy...

Chapter 1: Prolouge on Tom the Tonberry

In a dark cave among Mushroom Rock Road in Spira, a Tonberry lay, protecting a sphere in a cave that lay secret to the people of Spira. Although the cave was only carved a half a year before Sin's defeat, the people of Spira never discovered it for it was too well hidden and the fiends were too hard to pass. The Tonberry lay in the darkness, guarding the sphere that lay deep within the caves. His cloak was brown, torn on the edges because of the wounds he received in battle. The knife he used as a weapon was much different then normal Tonberries. His blade was a pure golden knife five inches longer than a normal Tonberries with a silver hinge and the sharp part was covered in blood of the intruders who attempted to take his sphere, fiend and human alike. The lamp that sat next to him glowed from the light of some pyreflies from the hardest opponent he faced yet. He took pride in the pyrefly collection in the lamp because he sees it as a trophy of the enemies he defeated in combat. Also, the pyreflies shined brighter than any candle he could've used for his lamp. He picked up the book he found, one of five, of the corpse from two humans that trespassed in the cave before. Two books he stole was from a Youth League Scout that wandered carelessly into his domain, while the other three were from a New Yevon spy that thought the Youth League was hiding something in the cave, and was attacked by the Tonberry, being that he was killed in only two stabs. As he started reading it, he snacked on some Chocobo wings he cooked with the spell Fira. He then started training after reading the book and finishing the wings.

Now, you may be wondering how this Tonberry got so smart. Well, two years and a half ago, a summoner came to the exact same path that the Tonberry was guarding. The cave that was made was from the battle that took place between them. While the summoner could not only summon, but he could also cast black magic, white magic, and fight with the skills of a warrior. In fact, his strongest summon blasted the Tonberry and created the cave by accident. After the summoner won, he took the Tonberry as one of his own. The summoner gave him new equipment and armor to protect the Tonberry. He even trained the Tonberry how to attack rapidly and cast white and black magic. Along side that; he even taught the Tonberry how to speak fluent English and a little Al Bhed. They recorded the time they enjoyed together in a sphere. Sadly, the summoner could only stay with the Tonberry, which he named Tom, for only half a year. After that, he had to leave for a journey to defeat Sin. He told Tom that he would return soon and train him some more. So the summoner left and set of to defeat Sin. After a while, news came out that another summoner, Lady Yuna, had defeated Sin. This hit Tom hard, for he knew if it wasn't the summoner he knew that wasn't the one who defeated Sin, he could've possibly been killed in battle against the creature. All he had left in memory of his master was the sphere that was recorded with the record of their time together.

Now, he trusted humans at that time, so he went into town and bought supplies to live off of. Everyone was surprised that a Tonberry was intelligent enough to speak to him or her, but they treated him good nonetheless. When he returned, he saw some goons standing outside of the cave he was guarding, there came out a lady with a purple dress with it halfway ripped on the front. There was a heart tattooed onto her upper chest and she had a fan for a weapon. The other two humans that followed her were two men that appeared to be her bodyguards. One was fat and had a giant shield on his back. The other one had two guns and was skinny. The woman then told the two, "This has go to be the easiest sphere we stole, I can't believe that it wasn't guarded or anything!" as she held out a sphere, the exact one that held the records of his master. Knowing they were going to leave with it, he jumped into the air and stabbed a goon straight into the heart. He polled out his knife, dripping with blood, telling the woman, "Give me back my Sphere!" The lady then said, "Are you ordering the great Leblanc? I don't think so! Goons, take care of this nuisance." The goons then took their blades out as a bunch of Recoils defend as well. The Recoils shot bullets at Tom, but he was smarter than to let the bullets hit him. He took his knife and cast Reflect quickly, sending the bullets flying at the goons and the Recoils. The bullets left 9999 damage to the goons and the Recoils (Recoils were stronger at the time) and blood flew everywhere. Tom then attacked the three humans. He cut up the bunch with pretty decent combos, leaving 9999 damage on them as well. Luckily, he only stabbed the arms and legs, so they weren't as damaged physically as the already dead goons. The three then dropped the sphere and ran for their lives. Tom picked up the sphere and went back into his cave. 'Those humans attacked me, trying to take the only thing that was important in my life' he thought as he laid the sphere on a blue platform. He couldn't trust humans after that incident; they would try to take the sphere again, the only reminder of his master. So he then decided to guard the cave and the sphere, so that his home, his sphere, his past would be protected from the greed of human nature. He became the cave's guardian and protected it from any form of intruders. He is still guarding that cave today, which is about almost two years now, which is where our story begins....

Sooo... What did you guys think? Yes I know what you're thinking, when are some major Final Fantasy X-2 characters coming into the story? Well, they're going to come in chapter 2, which is based in Chapter 3 of the game. Unfortunately, it's more of an alternate Chapter 3 in Final Fantasy X-2, so it's more like Chapter 3A. Please review and tell me what you guys think, so I can feel inspire to write this fanfic some more. Good reviews would boost by inspiration points by 3 and flames would drop my inspiration points by 2-. So if you want this fanfic to be good, send good reviews. Ok? Ok.
