Yes, another post after a VERY long time. X_X What do expect? Me and Hitomichu are very busy. Well, I'm sure you've all been dieing to see what happened to my pal, Tonberry.

Tonberry: *nods and points to self* Loveable...

Uh...yeah . Aaaaaanyway, here's the chapter. Enjoy and thanks to everyone who has reviewed and not flammed. ^_^ Oh, I almost forgot to mention. Right now, he's looking back at what happened. After the events of the game unfold, he'll be telling the story as it happens. Just wanted to let you know.

Thing the says I don't own Final Fantasy: I don't own Final Fantasy. Squaresoft does (lucky bastards). Well, we won't be able to call them Squaresoft for long, will we?

Chapter five- Defender Tonberry.

Man, did my heard hurt. Note to self: Never wolf down a half pound of cheese in three seconds. Well, the pain is worth the taste. Mmmm....I'm sure it was sometime before I woke up, because it was the afternoon when I woke up. Quistis was gone, so I was all alone.

I jumped from the bed and looked around the room. I couldn't find any trace of my new friend anywhere in this place. After a few minutes, I jumped up onto the chair near her desk. Nothing special, but a peice of paper. It had something written on it. Luckly, I'm able to read a bit of human writing. "Dear Tom..." That's me! "I've been called to the bridge. A big battle might start soon, so stay here. We don't know how much damage the Garden will take. There's a few days worth of food in the mini fridge. Just use your ton-powers to fix it. Please! I beg you! Don't burn down my room. "

Your friend, Quistis Trepe

Well, that explained where she went. But why did I have to stay here? I could just crawl through the vent shaft like I did to get here. Oh well. Better to do what she says then get kicked out, huh? But how to avoid bordem. Hmmm....Grabbing my lantern, I decided that what Quistis dosen't know, won't hurt me. I was real sorry, but Tonberry don't do well cooped up. As I walked over to the vent near the floor, a huge rumble rang out as the Garden began to shake. Did we hit something?

Forgetting about the vent for now, I ran over to Quistis' chair and looked out the window. Yep. We hit something, but not just any something. It was another flying Garden! I jumped down from the chair and ran to the vent, poofing it away with my lantern and dashing into the vents. Everything twisted and turned and droped off and it was making me dizzy! Luckly, I smelled the familiar scent of the Training Center and figured I could help there. Mabey calm the animals down or something. But I never got there. I heard a scream coming from under me and looked down through a vent.

I saw two children being cornered by a guy wearing alot of blue, black and metal things with a bucket on his head. He seemed to be laughing as the kids hugged each other and sunk deeper into the corner. If that's all I can stands, I can stands no more! I jumped on the vent as hard as I could, smashing though and landing on the bucket mans head. "What the hell!?" I snicked as he yelled and almost died laughing as I pounded the bucket on his head with the handle of my knife.

"Stupid..." I said as I rolled off him and infront of the kids. "Run..." They seemed kinda shocked to see a talking Tonberry save them, but they didn't stay to argue. They bolted faster then a tonberry could ever hope to do. Well, it was time to get to work. Okay. This guy was a human. I'm pretty sure he was, anyway. Do a lot of humans wear buckets? Oh well, it didn't matter. Might as well finish this evil man fast. I picked up my knife and my lantern and began to walk over to him. I was trying to look threating, so I took my time.

Before I could reach him, he pulled the bucket from over his eyes. "So, you're the little monster that did that huh? Well, I dunno how a Tonberry got into this stupid Garden, but mabey I can warm up on you incase I run into any SeeD's." The guy's smile was just down right evil and his teeth were a Hyne awful yellowish green kinda color. I grimiced and just jammed my knife into his foot. That guy screamed like a little girl and yanked his foot away, hopping around as he held his foot. Humans are so funny. Waving my lantern, I called a stone hammer and smashed it down on his head. He made a funny face and scoffed. "Like that hurt." And then he fell over. Yeah! It hurt, buddy! I made sure to step on the guys nose as I left, going to look for anyone else to help. It made a funny crunching noise.

It didn't take me long to to find people in need of my help. I came across a few more of those bucket guys who were punching and kicking a guy on the ground.

"C'mon, SeeD! Fight back!"

"Some military unit!"

"Get up, ya wuss!"

These guys were starting to get on my nerves. "Hey..." I said, hoping they heard me. And sure enough they did. Good. These creeps were gonna get a taste of Tonberry power! "Face..." I said, pointing to me. I didn't understand why they did what they did next. I'm powerful. I'm fearsome. But they didn't seem to think so. They just laughed. And laughed. And laughed! That was it! I'm sick of being laughed at! Time to do what I do best. I walked over to the nearest guy and held my lantern up to his leg. The little window popped open and the tiny flame jumped onto his pants. It got bigger and bigger and soon covered his whole leg before the moron noticed.

"Freaking hell! The little mutant set me on fire! You morons! Put me out!"

I glared at the other guys and held up my lantern, smiling. "Try..." The bucket men just shrugged and turned while the man I set on fire was soon compleatly engulfed. I didn't like hurting people, I really didn't. But it's not nice to beat a man to a bloody pulp. I had to do something to help. The fire bucket man ran in circle for a bit before remembering there was water over the rail and jumped. Oh well. I hope he lives. I walked over to the beaten guy and sat down, poofing my ton-magic book. Let's see. He seems okay. Just a few bumps and brusies. I give him a cure spell and pat his head, unpoofing my book and gathering my things. I head down the hall, wondering if I'll find more people in need.

=============

Wow. Good job, Tonberry! Well, that's the chapter! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Tonberry: *points to self* Helped...*smiles*

That you did, my friend. That you did. Well, I wanna clear some stuff up. I've decided on the lemon issue for the Squfuu, but I won't tell you here. Ha! Neh Neh! XD Anywho, I'm not sure how long this fic and the Squfuu will last, but I'm hoping long. But be on the look out for my name in the Kingdom Hearts section. After I finish one of these, I'll be posting a fic there. Not gonna tell you what it is though. This is Drake saying good day and may your games never freeze!
