Éclair was back in the kitchen. It was far before opening, so she and her Sous Chef were the only ones there. The blond looked at the container before her. "Look at it Komatsu. The Puffer Whale. It's gorgeous isn't it?" The boy nodded, "I can't believe you actually extracted the poison sack. What are you going to do with these last few pieces?" She scooted the container toward her friend, "I said I would bring some back for you didn't I? I'm a woman of my word." His eyes nearly glazed over as he looked at the beautiful meat. She twirled around her keys as she headed for the exit, "All I ask is for a favor." Her eyes went serious once again and Komatsu maintained a nervous look. "Set up a lunch date. You, me, Ootake, and Ume. I wasn't kidding about it when we last talked." The boy nodded, "Alright Éclair, I'll do what I can." The blond smiled, "That's what I like to hear." She gave a quick wave and left out the kitchen doors. She made her way down, and out of the building entirely. "Éclair!" The girl looked up as she heard her name. "Huh? Who's calling me?" Up walked the bluenette with a large smile, "You don't know my voice by now?" She smiled upon seeing the man, "Well, it is still dark out here. What's up, why are you at my job?" He put his arm around her shoulder, "Have you ever heard of Jewel Meat?"
Toriko, Éclair, and Johannes all sat in an IGO helicopter. The girl was sitting close to the window as she looked at the clouds. "We're up so high, this is amazing." Toriko yawned unimpressed, "You're fascinated by anything aren't you?" She folded her arms, "Hey, I had a very basic childhood, I didn't see very much in my day." He got up from his seat and sat next to the girl, "Well be prepared, because the Jewel Meat will be something beyond what 'basic eyes' can comprehend. It tastes like the best cuts of meat all formed into one, only better." Her mouth watered, "I want to eat it so bad. I've heard of such a meat, it never appears on the market." Toriko nodded as he held a large sandwich to his mouth. Éclair scratched her head, "There's no way you're getting all that in your mouth. That thing is bigger than my head!" He shrugged, "I could fit your head in my mouth." He dislocated his jaw and forced the sandwich down his throat. The girl scooted away a bit, "I'm not sure how I feel about that." She stood up again and looked out the window, "We're getting ready to land already? In this big jungle mess?" He shook his head, "No, the terrain is too unstable to land here. There's a small fraction of Biotope 1 that is welcomed to humans. You'll see, we're almost there."
She was the first to jump out of the helicopter when it landed. Johannes fixed his glasses as he glanced over at the girl, "Welcome to the Regal Isle, the Gourmet Garden in Biotope 1." The girls honey colored hair swung around as her head couldn't stop moving from looking at everything. "Everything is so exuberant! Komatsu is never gonna believe this!" Toriko raised one eyebrow, "Komatsu?" She smiled, "Oh, nothing. He's my assistant chef." They walked in further and found themselves in a food utopia of sorts. It was amazing to see the food getting processed, analyzed, shipped, and tested. Éclair's eyes amplified, "Whoa, my eyes have never seen such food greatness. If the Hotel Gourmet had a staff like this, we'd be above a 5 star for sure." They walked until they reached a small set of double doors. Toriko took his shirt off and looked at Éclair, "Hey, take off your clothes." She frowned as she maintained a fake karate stance, "What! No one is getting me naked!" The man was already down to his boxer shorts, "You have to get sterilized or you can't come along." She took off her shirt and covered her chest, "Okay, but don't look at me." Toriko looked back at the girl slyly, and she took out her machete, "I will use this if I have to." He rolled his eyes and laughed, "Alright, just hurry your naked ass up." She was very comfortable in her own skin, but she didn't want people looking at her in the nude. The cold water hit the two and she shivered as she washed up. They stepped out of the shower, and Toriko looked at the girl's lower back. "Hey, that leech bite made your heart shaped birthmark look like it's bleeding." He laughed as he pointed at the girl, "Rainbow undies? Cute." She poked out her bottom lip, "I said no peeking Toriko! Besides, it's not Rainbow undies, it's Reinbou undies. ~Let's just get to this Jewel Meat already." They stepped into the elevator and began to descend, "We have to meet up with someone first, he is the director and chief of this Biotope. He's just some old drunkard, so don't worry about formalities." She was definitely more at piece knowing he was a lax guy. She nodded, "Cool, so that's where we're headed now?"
The doors of the elevator opened and up jumped a Bat-Talion. Quickly, the girl unsheathed her machete and pointed it at the animal. Toriko laughed at the girl, "Calm down, it's in a glass. ~And what did I tell you about carrying that thing, I feel like my words are falling on deaf ears." She kept the knife close as she looked around, "What are these things?" "It's a place where they mix species. Some are extinct, and some aren't. You won't see these animals outside of this place." Her eyes glistened, "Cool, and the glass is so clear, it's like they're right in your face. Rawr!" She growled at an animal in front of her, "These things don't flinch eh?" Toriko's hand clenched Eclair's shoulder, "Step back, and don't panic." Her face went green as she noticed the animal in front of her was not in a box. Toriko cracked his knuckles and "Frying Pan!" A man jumped ahead of the two and punched the Muscle Crab square in the face. Toriko shook his head, "No mercy for the animals huh Chief Mansom?" The bald man turned and revealed his scarred face, he took a drink of the alcohol in his hand and smiled. "Hey, you just called me handsome." Toriko shook his head, "No, I didn't." The older man continued, "If you wanna maintain control, all you need is a fist or two." Éclair looked at the man with such respect and admiration for his power. Both Toriko and the Chief were chopping it up with a couple laughs. Éclair stood in place as she twiddled her thumbs waiting to be introduced. Toriko grabbed the girl like a rag doll, "Come on Éclair, let's see the Coliseum." She folded her arms as she was being carried like basketball under his arm, "I can walk just fine Toriko." He rolled his eyes, "Yeah, but you took forever to respond, like you were in lala land."
He set the girl down as they began to hear a large crowd of people. The roar's and screams were overwhelming as they got closer. The seats were completely packed, and the blond girl looked at the fight going on in front of her. "A Garara Gator versus a Troll Kong? That's amazing." Mansom's voice was muffled by him taking another drink, "Take a look at the people Éclair. They aren't just rich run of the mill gamblers. They are presidents and country leaders. There might even be some customers you may recognize." The girl was surprised by not only the people in her presence, but the fact that Mansom knew her name. He waved the girl over, "Come on you two. Let's take our seats." They sat down in their VIP seats and watched the exhilarating fight before them. Mansom smirked at Toriko, "There is a special competitor fighting today that may peak your interest Toriko, as promised." The gates lifted, and the animals ran out into the arena." Éclair jumped up and down, "Ooh, I'm going to place a bet on the Elephantasauraus!" As she began to leave, she heard an unfamiliar growl. Her head turned to see an elegant, white Battle Wolf. It was so regal and beautiful as it stepped out of the gate. Her eyes were glued to the amazing creature. She smiled as she looked up at the voting board, "The Battle Wolf. I'm going to bet on the Battle Wolf." She raced up the steps and didn't look back. Soon she figured out this was a bad idea. She had no idea where she was going. In fact, she ran so far that she didn't even know how to get back to her seat.
She heard a voice in the distance, a female voice. At this point she didn't care who it was, she needed help getting out of here. She ran until heard the woman as clear as day. "Toriko's here!" Éclair was excited to hear the voice of both Toriko and Mansom, even if not in person. The blond girl ran behind the taller black haired girl and looked at the screen. "Toriko! I'm totally lost; I don't know where I am!" The blue haired man shook his head, "Éclair? How did you get way over there?" Rin pulled the girl away from the screen "Who do you think you are? How do you know Toriko!" Before the girl could answer, a rumble shook the vicinity. Toriko looked seriously at the girls, "Éclair, get back to me as fast as possible, okay!" The girl nodded, "Okay!" Rin was red in the face as this new girl was going back to her man. She was mad, but she had a job to do. Éclair ran with everything in her to make it back in time. She was still lost, but she calculated her retraced steps more carefully this time.
The sound of the excited crowd was in earshot range again and she felt relieved. As she ran back down to her seat, she noticed a large hole in the coliseum glass. The girl looked at Mansom as she walked over shattered glass. He didn't say anything at all; instead, he looked through the coliseum glass stunned and shocked. Éclair looked onward as well and saw Toriko in the middle of the fight. The dust settled, and she was able to truly see the battle ahead of him. She placed her palms on the glass, "Be careful Toriko!" Mansom shook his head, "Yeah, he better be careful alright. I'm gonna kill em when he gets back here for breaking my glass!" The blond girl clasped her hands together as she watched on. She could only hope, pray, that he'd make it out okay.
