lunamugetsu: I do not own Toriko
Previously:
"KIMIKO/MIKO!" everyone yelled as they saw her running away from the Heavycliff. It got even worse when she tripped. She trembled as she saw the beast run towards her. She then saw that a purple substance was thrown onto all of the Heavycliffs causing them to collapse.
"What?" everyone said
"They're not going to die" a voice said, "I used a full-body paralyzing neurotoxin"
Everyone looked to see Coco landing on the ground.
"Coco!" Toriko said
"Hey. Sorry I'm late" Coco said
"Coco-san!" Kimiko yelled as she ran towards him.
"Hello Kimiko-chan, it's been awhile"
"Coco-san" she cried standing in front of him. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Here I find you in such a perilous danger zone I guess you never do learn, huh, Kimiko-chan.
"It really is you. I'd recognize that story-teller way of speaking anywhere!" She surprised him by hugging him. "Thank you so much!"
"K-Kimiko-chan" Coco stuttered having a slight blush on his cheeks.
"I'm so happy to see you" She cried into his chest causing Coco to redden even more then he was before.
"Coco" Rin said as she walked over to him.
COCO! Sani and Toriko both thought
Since when did she and Coco become so close! Toriko thought
She's so touchy with him! Sani yelled in his mind
"Rin it's been awhile" Coco said
"Please take a look viewers, three of The Four Heavenly Kings are gathered together!" Tina said as she pointed the camera at each of the Kings but quickly put it away when it was pointed towards Coco, "I'm sorry you're not a fan of cameras, right. I won't point it towards you another gram!"
"Sorry" Coco said causing Tina to blush.
"ah it's fine" she replied
Wh-What a beautiful entrance! Waiting for the most delicious moment to appear. What unbelievably beautiful timing, there's too much beauty, in fact, Sani then said, "It kinda makes me sick!"
"Oh, Sani" Coco said, "What's wrong? You drew back your Touches. It's been so long, why don't we shake hands" Coco stretched out his hand
"Sani-san. Did you just draw back your Touches?" Kimiko asked
"Yeah, they're not out" Coco answered
"Coco's eyes, can even see Sani's Touches" Toriko said
"Well to be precise, I can see the faint electromagnetic waves emitting from his Touches" Coco explained
"I don't think so." Sani said, "I just really hate touching you, so I don't have them out. I mean you're poisonous"
"W-What a straightforward guy" Coco muttered
"Sani-san, you shouldn't say such mean comments" Kimiko scolded.
"I don't care" he said
"Sani-san!" Kimiko yelled and tried to make an angry face, but it just came out as a pout
Cute, Sani thought, then the Heavcliffs started to wake up.
"The Heavycliffs have practically gone made with rage. Their wild instincts are sensing danger." Toriko said
Geez, is this the only thing I can't handle? Sani thought. The Regal Mammoth then went up on its hind legs surprising everyone.
"Don't worry" Coco said as he took a drink from his canteen, "I've already taken action" The mammoth roared and then landed on its behind, "It'll take some time for the poison to spread throughout, but eventually it won't be able to move at all"
"You already poisoned it!" Toriko said
"That's amazing Coco-san" Kimiko exclaimed
"Hmph" Sani pouted
"Anyhow, the real problem is what's inside of the body" Coco said, "Inside the Regal Mammoth, I can see a different kind of electromagnetic wave. it seems the Bishokukai has already infiltrated it."
"Already! I guess since it's so big, they gave up on just trying to kill it" Toriko said
"So they went in to get the Jewel Meat directly" Sani commented, "sounds just like the Bishokukai. Such an unrefined, vulgar disgustin' idea"
How are we going to get the Jewel Meat exactly? Kimiko thought
"We have a race against time on our hands," Coco said,"Let's go inside"
"Right", the group said
"That's impossible" Sani said
"No, it's possible" Coco replied
"Let's get the Jewel Meat Sani-san" Kimiko said while giving a bright smile to Sani
"There's no way I'm going into a disgustin' place like that!" he exclaimed
"I think that given the positions it's in now, going in through the rear would honestly be safest" Coco said
"Really!" Sani and Kimiko said
"There's no way I'm going!" Sani exclaimed
"Watch out!" Toriko exclaimed as he tackled Sani away from an attack..
"Toriko-san Sani-san!" Kimiko exclaimed
"Oni-chan!" Rin yelled. That was when a giant pink GT Robo landed right in front of them
"A GT Robo" Tina said
"It's huge" Rin said. The GT Robo was pink and was about the size of a large building and had chains looped around its shoulder.
"I heard there were new models, but I can't believe there's one as huge as world of gourmet food is making strides every day" Coco laughed, "I'm really falling behind the times"
"Ah" Kimiko was then reminded of the gigantic footprint that she fell in. "That footprint was from this guy?"
"It's a high-end unit. Be careful, Coco" Toriko warned
"I understand. It's so high-tech I can even see the electromagnetic waves of the operator in real life. But it won't be a problem"
"Right, as long as it's not the guy from the cave" Toriko said
"HEHEHEHE! Now this is lucky. So many famous people gathered in one place. Taking all these guys down would get me more credit than if I got the Jewel Meat, wouldn't it? HAHAHAHA!"
"AH?! Who's gonna finish off whom?" Sani yelled, "You piece of junk!"
"Sani I'll take care of this one" Coco said as he stepped in front of Sani
"Coco"
"Everyone get the Jewel Meat as soon as possible" Coco said,"It'll be a problem if they got it first. And also" he looked at the group
"I noticed it when I saw Toriko, but everyone's more exhausted than I expected. The reason you withdrew your Touches, Sani, had nothing to do with my poison, did it?" Coco said
"Hmph, and I tried so hard to look nonchalant" Sani said
"Anyhow, I'll take care of this!" Coco then threw off his cloak as the GT Robo started getting ready to attack.
"All of you are gonna die here!" The GT Robo's beak then opened up preparing to fire its attack
"KISS!" Coco whistled. Kiss soared to the ground knocking the GT robo off its feet making it miss.
"Now, everyone. Go!" Coco yelled
"Thanks Coco you're a life saver" Toriko said
"Big brother"
"Let's go"
"Sani-san"
"Okay, I get it" Sani said as he started to run as well. Once the group was gone Coco's skin started to turn purple.
"You bastard, don't think I'll let you have a painless death now."
"Are you talking about yourself" Coco started to take off his turban
"What?"
"I can see the shadow of death on you" he said
"Shadow of death? Are you high? How the hell can a robot have an omen of death on them?"
"It's for the operator" Coco said, "I guess because the robot's so high tech" he started to take off the green wraps that were covering his wrists, "Yes. A shadow of death for you, the one operating it, is being relayed"
"So how are we supposed to get the Jewel Meat?" Kimiko asked
"We can't go through the nose. If we get eaten, we'll end up as just a pile of bones" Toriko said
"What are we going to do then" Tina asked
"I guess... the butt is the only way in after all" Toriko said
"EEEEHHH" the rest of the group yelled
"What are you talking about?!" Sani yelled
"I got it" Tina said
"Okay" Rin said
"It's the only way" Kimiko sighed
"Eh! No way, no way, no way, no way! No way in Hell! If that's your plan I'm heading home right now!" Sani yelled, none of the group noticing the Mammoth growling. It then used it's nose to suck up the group.
"Oh no. The poison still hasn't spread fully throughout its-" Coco was halted from his statement when he saw the shadow of death on one of the members in the group.
It can't be. The shadow of death is coming from someone in the group, The GT robo took this moment to fire an attack at Coco
"KISS!" The emperor crow then swooped down to pick up Coco
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!"
"Sani! Can you stop this somehow?!"Toriko yelled
"I can't it's got to much power" Sani yellled back as the group got sucked into the nose. Toriko saw that the spikes of the inner walls of the nose started to stick out.
"Kugi Punch!" he yelled as he punched the nose wall prompting the mammoth to spit them into its mouth.
"Guys!" Coco yelled as he saw them enter the mammoth's mouth
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH" the group yelled as they landed on the Mammoth's tooth.
"Ow!" Rin yelled as she landed against a body" That' hurt!" she then looked up to see Toriko
"Are you okay" Toriko asked
"Y-Yeah, totally fine!" Rin said
"Miko!" Sani yelled as he caught her in his arms.
"Thank you Sani-san" Kimiko panted as she clutched onto his shirt, neither of them noticing an angry Bishokuya looking at them.
"We're going to get eaten! What are we going to do!" Tina yelled
"Don't worry the inside of the mouth is huge. Plus air flows through it. We're lucky that it's this big" Toriko said, "Let's find go find the Jewel Meat!"
"Um, Toriko" Kimiko said getting everyone's attention "If you haven't noticed yet, we're on a tooth!"
"EEEEEHHHH" the group said as the mammoth started to close its mouth
"What are we going to do!" Tina yelled as the upper teeth came closer. The teeth stopping led the females to see that Sani and Toriko were holding the teeth from chomping down on them.
"Sani" Toriko said
"I know" he replied as they struggled to lift the teeth
"FRY GAESHI!" Sani repelled the teeth
"Now, run into the throat!" Toriko yelled
"R-right" the group then proceeded to run down the throat, which they then started to fall
"AAAAAAAAHHH" the group yelled as they hit the ground
"This is a mountain gram of pain" Tina moaned in pain
"Sani, couldn't ya have used your Touches to make a cushion for us? Just how many kilometers did we fall in the esophagus? Man?, where the hell are we? Inside the stomach?" Toriko then saw a blue GT Robo walking around, it stopped.
"A GT Robo" Toriko said
"Geez, I give up" the GT Robo's head moved mechanically, "This place is a total maze. Now at some point I accidentally wound up back at the entrance"
"This guy" Sani mumbled, "Toriko I'll take care of this one. In these giant maze-like innards, the only thing we can rely on to find the Jewel Meat is your nose. Take Rin and the others with you. Now, while you've got the chance!"
"Sani" Toriko said, he then noticed the vein protruding from Sani's cheek, "Got it. Let's go"
"But" Tina said
"It's fine, hurry!" Toriko said
"Right" Rin said as she followed Toriko. Kimiko and Tina followed too Kruppoh flying after them. The GT Robo moved its head towards the two.
"You guys are going too?" the GT Robo turned its head towards Kimiko and Tina and then opened its head showing the tentacles of a monster.
"EEEEEEEKKKK" they both screamed
"Hurry up and get out of here!" Sani yelled
"Heh, heh, that's dangerous you know" The GT Robo said as it struggled to move, "There are dangerous animals in here"
He has a creature stuffed in its head! Kimiko thought
"Hurry up you two!" Toriko yelled
"Right" Tina said as she went after them.
Kimiko turned to Sani and bowed her head, "Thank you Sani, and do your best!" she then ran after the group
"Heh. Don't misunderstand. I just don't want to go any deeper into this thing's body. I'll leave that sort of dirty work to you guys, while I devote myself to magnificently getting rid of this enemy" Sani proclaimed
"They're already gone." The robot said
"Already!" Sani yelled
"That guy we just met he seems strong" Tina said
"Yeah, he was. Really strong" Toriko answered
"Will Sani-san be alright back there" Kimiko asked
"There's a reason Sani made us go on ahead" Toriko replied
"Reason?"
"Because he intends to fight all-out" Toriko said, "When that happens, us being there will be nothing more than a hindrance"
"you mean we'd get mixed up in the fight?" Kimiko asked
"Not exactly"
"Huh?"
"It's because Big Brother places beauty above all else" Rin said
"Something wrong?" Tina asked as she saw Kimiko giving Toriko a worried look.
"Toriko-san hasn't had anything to eat in a while. He's been running non-stop with no breaks, so he's probably consumed quite a lot of his energy. Let's hurry straight to the Jewel Meat" Kimiko looked at Tina, but then noticed that she wasn't there
"Tina-san?" she asked
"I-I can't walk another milligram" Tina whined, with Kruppoh resting right next to her, that's when her stomach rumbled causing everyone to look at her.
"Heh heh" she blushed in embarrassment.
Toriko, Rin, Kimiko, and Tina were running trying to search for the Jewel Meat.
Toriko-san, not eating anything has really taken its toll on you hasn't it, Kimiko thought, If only I held onto my Gourmet Case tighter when the Regal Mammoth tried to eat us
The group then passed a tree that was growing oranges and some horsetails by its roots.
These are, Kimiko quickly took some of each
"Kimiko hurry up!" Tina yelled
"Coming!" she said as she followed them
"There's something unusual happening to the inside of this mammoth right now" Toriko said
"Huh?"
"A strong acidic smell is coming from it. It's the digestive enzymes being secreted from the stomach. That's evidence that the mammoth is undergoing some intense stress" he explained, "It's as if something like a virus is eating away at its life. Something that's entered into its body directly and is being rejected!" the mammoth inner walls were starting to move, "Damn this mammoth is it trying to blow all foreign bodies out of its body? Let's hurry, don't fall behind!"
"Right" they said as they started to run
This thick unshakable ominous presence. That guy is coming here. In that case, I've got to avoid running into him no matter what!, Toriko thought
"Ugh" Toriko said as he fell to his knee
"Toriko, are you okay? Rin asked
"I'm fine" he said as he got back up and started running again
Toriko-san, Kimiko thought, At any rate, his exhaustion has been way too severe. I wonder if this is because of the Gourmet Cells
The ground started to shake even more, "this one's way worse than before!" Rin said
"Coco's poison might be weakening, we have to hurry!" Toriko yelled
"Take a right her" Toriko instructed the group leading them to a part where a bright glow was illuminating the walls, "The radiance of the Jewel Meat is making the inside of the body glow"
"Wow, so that's why the insides of the Regal Mammoth were so bright, it's because of the Jewel Meat" Kimiko said
"There's a mountain-size potion of fragrance here, too!" Tina exclaimed Kruppoh agreeing with her
"The Jewel Meat's close!" Toriko looked back at the group and then spotted the black GT Robo, "Get out of the way, Kimiko!"
"OUT OF THE WAY!" Toriko yelled as Kimiko immediately ran out his direction. The GT Robo simply scratched its head like it did in the Beach Cave.
"He didn't even flinch from my intimidation" he said as he readied himself to deliver a Kugi punch towards it, but was immediately pushed through the inner walls of the mammoth. The GT Robo faultered for a second.
"Oh? It looks like you grazed me" it said.
"FRAGRANCE BAZOOKA!" Rin yelled as she fired the gun that she was carrying on her back. The GT Robo quickly dodged and sped towards Rin and delivered a strong blow to her gut knocking her towards the wall
"Toriko-san! Rin-san!" Kimiko yelled in alarm
Toriko's POV
I was standing in darkness the only thing I saw was a dim red light. When I went closer I could see a red demon sitting there eating something.
Wh-What's going on? Who is this guy? I thought I then looked at what he was eating, only to see myself.
that's me! Is he heating me?
"The time limit is 5 minutes" it said surprising me, "Hurry up and get something in your mouth. Yeah. The most delicious thing you can get your hands on would be best. The cells are evolving"
What?
Toriko-san
Huh?
Toriko-san!
End Toriko's POV
"TORIKO-SAN!" Kimiko yelled as Toriko started to gain consciousness. He grunted as he tried to get up. That was when a white smoke started to appear.
"Th-This is...Endorphin Smoke?" Toriko looked over at Rin who was firing it, Kimiko was right next to her pressing gauze against her wound.
"To-Toriko. At the very least... I can alleviate the pain for you" Rin said
"Rin"
"Rin-san, don't talk, try to conserve your energy" Kimiko said as she tried to clot the blood.
"The smoke is becoming a smokescreen. Run while you have the chance" she said
"Rin-san, please don't strain yourself" Kimiko said
Rin, you''re more worried about me than yourself, Toriko thought
"Hurry... Run" Rin said as she closed her eyes
"Rin-san, Rin-san!" Kimiko cried
"Hold on Rin" Tina said as she stood up, "Kruppoh!" the bird then appeared and they started to run into the smoke
"She ran? A wise choice"
"She's not running away" Kimiko said, "Tina-san isn't running away!"
"We have to hurry and get Coco and Sani" Tina said as she ran
A Carrier Balloon Pigeon's homing instinct allows it t find its way home from any location. With that ability it will lead us to the exit, She thought as she followed Kruppoh
Coco is probably finished with his fight, Sani is probably outside since the Mammoth is starting to regurgitate what's in its body. Unless I do something, all the effort and emotion everyone's put in so far will be for nothing! I can't let that happen! No matter what!
"Rin-san" Kimiko cried in concern as Rin was barely breathing. She started to change the gauze and reached for her backpack, that was when the black GT Robo grabbed her arm.
"It's useless. She'll be dead soon. Both her and Toriko. If you had only not interfered as you hadn't back then. I would have let you live" that was when a hand placed itself on its shoulder.
"Hey. Who'd you say is dying?" Toriko said as he punched the GT Robo before it could attack sending it towards the wall
"Toriko-san" Kimiko said and saw that Toriko was panting
"Rin" Toriko said as he walked over to Rin who had gained consciousness
"T-Toriko" Rin struggled to say
"Don't speak Rin" Toriko said
"This scar" she pointed to her right cheek, " I got it by accident, but I was so excited because I thought it was like yours, but then I was disappointed when I found out it was on the wrong side because I was looking in the mirror, but I was still happy"
"Rin" Toriko said
"Ne, Toriko, I have one wish" Rin struggled to say
"Okay"he said
"Madness." The GT Robo said as it walked in through the hole that it just made, "Toriko, I was sure I broke his neck completely"
"Thank you, Toriko" Riin said as she closed her eyes
"What is going on here" the GT Robo said as he touched his head, Toriko gritted his teeth, "Could it be, this attack power"
"GT Robo!" Toriko said as a red aura started to surround him, "GT Robo!" he charged at the robo, "FORK!" He yelled as he stabbed the robo in the head, which the robo then retaliated by punching Toriko in the gut, "KNIFE!" delivering another blow to the head, he then lifted his arm, "6 REN KUGI PUNCH!" punching the robo in the midsection sending it towards the wall.
"Rin was prepared to die from the beginning. Death is something always lurking nearby every living creature. Someone like you, without the resolve to risk his life, isn't qualified to live in this world. I'll send it to you, no matter how far off you may be. The fear of death!" Toriko said
"Is this a coincidence, Toriko" the GT Robo scratched its head, "Anyway it's been activated, autophagy"
"Autophagy?" Kimiko repeated
"Organisms that have fallen into a state of severe hunger will start to break down their own cells as a means of temporarily obtaining energy. This is called autophagy. Have you been fasting?" he asked, "In order to maintain a body like yours, possessing Gourmet Cells you probably need an intake of some hundreds of thousands to millions of kilocalories of energy daily. Therefore, for you, to fast only for a little while would cause life-threatening damage"
Toriko hasn't been eating anything, Kimiko thought as she recalled the previous moments
"They say that when one has Gourmet Cell, the more delicious the things they eat are, the more their power increases. But when they eat themselves, in other words,when your Gourmet Cells start to eat your own body your body is given an extraordinary power. That is the foreboding omen that the Gourmet Cells are going to evolve"
"FORK!" Toriko charged at the GT Robo
"KNIFE" it was blocked the the GT Robos hand. It opened its head preparing to fire, but Toriko quickly pushed it shut.
"Shut that thing!" as he delivered a headbutt to it and threw it at the wall
"Now this is troubling" it said, "There is a one-thousandth of a second lag in the response time. Fighting as a GT Robo I can't bring out my full power. Bishokuya Toriko. Just as I would expect, your power is impressive. However, you cannot maintain that power for long. Autophagy is nothing more than the body's temporary avoidance of nutrient starvation. Your power increases, but if you stay in that state for a prolonged period, you will consume all of your own cells which will result in death."
Toriko-san, Kimiko thought in worry
"Autophagy is a double-edged sword. Either the Gourmet Cells rapidly evolve, or you die. Can you defeat me before the time limit expires?" he asked
"The time limit is 5 minutes"
Toriko quickly grimaced at that. "It's impossible" as the GT Robo attacked him, "MIXER PUNCH!" stabbing his gut
"My power is" Toriko said as he panted at the loss of energy
"Looks like this is the end" the GT Robo then opened its head, "There will be no evolution. Farewell, Bishokuya Toriko!" he fired at Toriko sending him through the wall
"Toriko-san!"
I'm skipping the part where Toriko eats part of the Jewel Meat, please don't hate me
"So in the end, it looks like you were the most intelligent one, young one" the GT Robo closed its head and headed towards Kimiko, "Even if they're always careful, all humans eventually die. So there's no need to rush to one's death" he looked at the objects that were in Kimiko's backpack
I can't move, Kimiko thought being paralyzed by fear
"Are you a chef?" he asked as he picked up the Gourmet Spicer and then tossed it.
"What a nice kitchen knife" that statement got Kimiko's attention as she saw him hold her kitchen knife, "I can more or less tell a chef's skill by looking at his knife." The GT Robo raised the knife higher, "I see, you're a first-class chef. It would be a good idea to polish your skills even more. I pray that someday you would have enough value to be useful to us, the Bishokukai. I'll be taking this knife. I think I'll be able to make good use of it" the robo started to walk away
NO! Kimiko thought as she ran after it and grabbed its arm
"That is ... That is one thing I can't let you have!" she said
"Oh"
"That knife is equivalent to my life! G-Give it back to me!" she yelled
"If you interfere, you'll die" he said
"I'm not afraid of dying! Even I came here with that resolve! Give it back!" she screamed. That was then the GT Robo turned and the operator used his intimidation. His intimidation looking like a cyclops vampire( I don't know how to describe it. To me it looks like cyclops with vampire fangs) Kimiko stood there completely scared but unrelenting on letting go.
"Oh, it looks like your resolve is the real deal." he said as the operator raised the GT Robos hand to cup Kimiko's chin causing her to panic.
"With that resolve you are going to get yourself killed" he laughed as he saw her face
"G-Give it back" she said as she gripped the GT Robo's arm
"You still want it back?" he said
" I-I don't know why you are doing this, but that knife is precious to me!"
"You are starting to annoy me." he said as he started to walk away
"Why?" she said making him stop, "Why didn't you attack Toriko-san, Coco-san, and me while we were in the cave? You killed all the thieves and assassins that were outside. Why?"
"Like I said before, your resolve will get you killed" he said as he then felt a surge of energy from behind him
"You will not get anywhere, with your resolve" Toriko said as he entered bursting with a strong light, "For you do not have one!"
"Toriko" the GT Robo said
"Toriko-san" Kimiko cried in joy
"Deactivate your 'excess pressure limiters'" Toriko pointed at the GT Robo, "Make it so the entire signal of the blows get transmitted. Got that! That's what I'd call 'resolve'"
The GT Robo dropped the knife in which Kimiko quickly picked up, and walked over to Toriko
"Toriko-san" Kimiko whispered
This guy, could it be, the operator thought as Toriko walked closer to it, The cells are evolving. Did he eat the Jewel Meat?
"Interesting. Disable the excess pressure limiters!" he said
"But sir, if by some faint chance you were to take one of his attacks directly the damage would be immeasurable"
"Disable them! Right now!" he ordered
"Let me hear your name" Toriko said as he stood right in front of the GT Robo
" I am Starjun" the operator said
"Starjun" Toriko repeated, the GT Robos eyes glowed for a second
"The excess pressure limiters have been deactivated" he said," Now 100% of all physical attacks will be conveyed to me."
"That composure is proof that the fighting power of the GT Robo lightly outstrips your own" Toriko said
"I don't mind not having the excess pressure limiters" Starjun replied, "That will allow me to measure your strength in this powered-up state more precisely"
"Is that so?" Toriko said, " In that case. I'll make sure you don't regret that!" he then released a burst of energy pushing everyone back
"MIXER PUNCH!" Starjun yelled as he thrust his left arm at Toriko's gut, which then stopped
He stopped it!, Starjun thought, Toriko then grabbed the GT robo's arm
"KNIFE!" Toriko yelled as he delivered a harsh blow at the elbow causing a harsh sound making Kimiko and Tina to cover their ears," KNIFE! KNIFE! KNIFE! KNIFE! KNIFE! " Toriko yelled as he finally cut off the arm of the GT Robo
" AAAGGGHH" Starjun yelled in pain and was prepared to fire at Toriko
"FORK!" Toriko delivered a blow to the head, "FORK" another blow to the GT Robo's body
"PEELER-" before Starjun could attack
"5 Ren Kugi Punch!" Toriko struck him in the chest pushing the GT Robo back further
" I see," Starjun said, "So this is as far as I go. Was the Jewel Meat tasty, Toriko? In order for me to one day procure the Jewel Meat let's meet again. And next time, in the flesh."
"Right, 10 REN KUGI PUNCH!" Toriko yelled as he struck the GT Robo's torso completely destroying it.
"Gochisousama deshita" Toriko clasped his hands together as the GT Robo exploded, he then fell to his knee in exhaustion, and looked at Kimiko and Tina.
"It's over, Kimiko" Toriko said
"Toriko-san!" Kimiko cried as she hugged Toriko," I'm so happy you're alive! I'm so relieved! Wait! What about Rin!" everyone turned to look at Rin's still form
"Rin" Toriko said as he walked over to her. That was when a certain scent hit his nose.
This is, "The smell of actively flowing iron! Let's hurry and go outside" Toriko said as he gently picked Rin up, "Rin's alive!"
That was when a cool breeze entered the place where they were.
"You damn mammoth, you have awesome timing! Let's get going!"
"Right"
"Toriko don't forget to bring that back with you" Tina said
"Yeah, I can't forget the Jewel Meat!"
The Regal Mammoth roared as it stood on its hind legs uprooting all of the rocks around it.
"Looks like the poison ran out" Coco said, "We'd best get some distance from it"
"Coco, what happened to Toriko and the others?! What about Rin and Miko?!" Sani asked in worry
"Believing is beautiful, right? You really are a thorughly beautiful man, Sani" Coco said, "No need to worry, everyone is fine. They're coming out right now" the two of them watched as the Regal Mammoth then spat out the group.
"Toriko!" Sani cried in alarm
"Sani!" Toriko yelled, "Give us a cushion!"
"And that's" Coco saw the large glistering meat that Toriko was holding, "the Jewel Meat!
Sani screamed in excitement, "I'll make the ultimate gentle catch! HAIR NET!" the Jewel Meat and the rest of the group except Tina, Toriko and Rin since they bounced off.
"'Ncredivle... This is the Jewel Meat" Sani said completely ignoring Toriko who ad hit his head
"Hey, jackass!" Toriko yelled, "The only thing you were gonna catch gently was the meat?!"
"Don't be ridiculous, I caught Miko" Sani pointed at the chef who was gently caught with the Touches
"Sani-san, Rin-san is" Kimiko said getting Sani to look at Rin
"Rin!" Sani yelled in alarm
"Finally, you notice" Toriko complained, "We're counting on you to treat her"
"HAIR OPERATION" Sani said as his hair started to move towards Rin
"Kimiko-chan" Coco said as Kimiko climbed down from the Hair Net.
"Coco-san" Kimiko said, "What's Sani-san doing?"
"Using his 0.1 micron diameter Touches, he can perform surgery" Coco explained
"Surgery? That's amazing" Tina exclaimed
"Though it's really only first-aid until real trearment can be performed" Sani said
"Kiss went to the research laboratory. He's bringing a medical team here" Coco informed them, "They should be here soon"
"Will Rin-san be okay?" Kimiko asked
"you don't need to worry. Rin won't die." he told them causing Tina and Kimiko to sigh in relief. Kimiko then turned her head to see an Obsaurus with Terry riding on its back
"Terry!" Kimiko exclaimed
"She's okay" Tina said as Terry walked over to Toriko
"No way, you made the Obsaurus into your subordinate?!" Toriko looked at the Obsaurus" you went through all that just for this guy"
"I think it's wonderful" Kimiko petted Terry's head ,"Good job Terry" The battlewolf howled in excitement
"Terry" Tina said with Kruppoh resting on her shoulder. The sound of a helicopter reached the groups ears
"There they are! The medical team!" Coco said
"They even brought the child Regal Mammoth" Sani said as the baby was charging at them
"Looks like Kiss guided it here with them!" Toriko looked at the Regal mammoth, "You must be happy, parent Regal" The Regal Mammoth roared, "Thank you so much, ancient Treasure Food, Regal Mammoth"
"Toriko-san" Kimiko said getting his attention, "I think we should run"
"Eh, why?" the Mammoth then raised its front legs and started to stomp
"It's stomping!" she yelled
"It's still got an explosive-sized serving of anger!" Tina yelled.
"We have to hurry! Let's go!" Coco yelled and then picked up Kimiko and ran.
"Sani can't you use your Fry Gaeshi" Coco said as he ran while carrying Kimiko bridal style
"You should use your poison for this, Coco!" Sani yelled as he carried Rin
"Who cares, let's just get back to the research lab!" Toriko said, "We've got the actual food, the Jewel Meat to eat!
Rin opened her eyes to see that she was in a medical bed with the group huddling right over her
"Rin" Sani said
"Rin-san"
"Rin" Toriko said
"Guys" she said as she looked at the people surrounding her, the scene of what happened in the Regal Mammoth flashed through her mind, "Toriko!" Rin took off her oxygen mask and hugged him "Torikooooo"
"What?!" he exclaimed
"I've seriously gotta totally thank you!" she squealed
"Eh?" he replied
"It's all because did that I survived like this" she said
"What is 'that'" he said
"Oh don't play dumb!" she said
"What did I do?" he answered
"Hey, maybe we have something more than an ordinary relationship?" she said
"Um, should we do something" Kimiko asked Sani and Coco
"Okay!" Sani exclaimed breaking the weird atmosphere, "Anyhow, we've got Rin back now, too!"
"RIght! Let's get our lavish dinner started!" Toriko said
"All right!" the group yelled in excitement
The group was sitting at a dinning table on top of the roof.
"Sorry for the wait" the waiter said as he lifted up the lid that was covering the Jewel Meat. When he took off the lid the entire roof was lit up with a bright light
"Your Jewel Meat is served" the waiter said
"It's here!" Toriko yelled
"This is the Jewel Meat!" Kimiko said
"It's too beaut'ful" Sani cried
"It makes the moon's light look hazy!" Rin exclaimed
"It's like it's daytime in just this small area" Coco said
"This explains why the inside of the Mammoth was all lit up" Kimiko said
"Anyhow let's just eat!"
"Right, I give thanks to all of the ingredients in this world! Idtadakimasu!" they said as they started to dig in.
Bright, Kimiko thought, But its a gentle light. She then cut the slice of meat and out popped the juices.
"Ah, bouillon fireworks burst out of it!" she then put a piece in her mouth
"Delicious!" She screamed in joy as a warm glow covered her body, "Isn't it delicious you guys-eehhh" she looked at Toriko who was glowing a lot more, "You're glowing like crazy!", Well this explains why he was all glittery when he was fighting Starjun.
"Taste and texture, and it's a carnival of all the parts! Just like one!" Toriko exclaimed
"Ladies and gentleman, this is that ancient Treasure Food, the Jewel Meat!" Tina said as she filmed, "Toriko-san, how does it taste?"
"Hey, cut that out. You've gotta try some, too!"
"Eh?"
"At least take some with you as a souvenir. Show'em that you came with us"
"Is that okay?"
"Yeah, go ahead. I'm thankful to you, too. If you haven't woken me up back then I wouldn't have been able to eat the Jewel Meat with everyone, right now"
"Toriko" Tina said in delight
"What's she so happy about?" Rin grumbled, "But, she did help us out with a few things, so I guess I'll forgive her this time"
"Terry, you should have some, too! It's delicious!" Toriko said
"You too, Kiss" Coco said and then noticed that Kimiko wasn't in her seat
"Where's Kimiko-chan?" Coco asked
"Right here" Kimiko said while pushing a cart that had orangios and horsetailinnamon on it, "We finally got the meat, so I thought I might be able to mix up one more thing"
"You mean with the Gourmet Spicer?" Toriko asked
"Yeah" she held up the Gourmet Spicer, "I kept it with me the whole time so I could make something outstanding for everyone" she then put the orangios and horsetailinnamon into the spicer and put it on the Jewel Meat
"The citrus-type fruity smell combined with exquisitely matching cinnamon, it's irresistible!" Toriko exclaimed, "I've never smelt a spice like this before!"
"It's a powder that's a mis of Orangio and Horsetailinnamon at a 3 to 2 ratio" she said,"Here you go"
"Itadakimasu" Toriko said and then ate meat in one go and then started to glow even stronger, "YUUUUM!"
"THe luminescence got a level stronger!" Coco said
"The savoriness of the meat with that refreshing salt seasoning!", Toriko said, "It's a harmony of sweet scents! Man, this carnival of scents is indescribable! It's like a rhythm of a samba!"
"lemme try some to" Rin said
"Rin is it really okay for you to be moving around" Kimiko asked
"Don't worry, I'm fine" she replied as she started to put the ingredients into the Gourmet Spicer
"Both ingredients were ones I picked up inside the Regal Mammoth's body." Rin said
"I see, so that's why they're such exquisite spices that fit well with the Jewel Meat" Coco said
"Yeah" she replied
Toriko sighed and looked at the moon, "I guess, it's decided, then"
"What didja say just now, Toriko?" Sani asked everyone turned to see Sani was sparkling a tremendous amount
"That's one incredible shine, Sani!" Toriko exclaimed
"Sani-san is glowing more than anyone!"
"His electromagnetic waves strengthened along with the glow" Coco said, "Most likely, Sani's Gourmet Cells are extremely compatible with the Jewel Meat"
"So, Toriko, what was it you said?" Sani said
"What'd I say about what?"
"Didn't you just say something was..."decided" or something?"
"Yeah" toriko said, "Only this meat has been good enough for me to want to put it in"
A scene of a dinner table with eight courses with the rainbow fruit being the only course that wasn't covered
"Put it into...what, exactly?" Sani asked
"To my Full Course as the Meat Dish!" Toriko said as one of the courses lids were about to be uncovered.
"Wait a secon'!" Sani slammed the lid back onto the plate
"Huh?" everyone said
"What're you doing, Sani, you asshole?!" Toriko yelled
"Isn't it obvious?! I'm telling you not to be hasty!" Sani yelled
"I'm not being hasty about anything!" Toriko replied
"Say, check out how brightly I'm shining!" like a command Sani's body started to glow even more
"Yeah, so"
"The Jewel Meat has truly chose me, hasn't it" Sani said
"Don't tell me, big brother" Rin said
"I've decided on the Jewel Meat as my Main Dish!" a scene with all of the dishes for Sani's Full Course appeared and the dish in the middle started to lift up.
"Hold on, dammit!" Toriko slammed the lid back down.
"What're ya doin, Toriko?!" Sani yelled
"Why're you makin' that your Main?!" Toriko replied
"Because I'm the one that's all sparkly!"
"Who the hell cares if you sparkle like a Twilight vampire!" (Sorry couldn't resist) the two continued to argue like little children
"U-Um, can't both of you put the Jewel Meat into your own Full Courses?" Kimiko asked
"No way!" they said
"Wh-Why?"
"I don't like the idea of having overlapping courses!"the two said in unison
"My vote goes to Toriko" Rin said
"Shut the hell up Rin!" Sani exclaimed
"Why don't you shut up, Big Bro?!"
"I can't wrap up even 1 gram of the Jewel Meat!" Tina complained, "It's just too bright!"
"Shall we just eat, then?" Coco asked
"Yeah" Kimiko agreed as she looked at the two that were fighting.
