As Toriko fought all the enemies in his path Éclair couldn't help but worry tirelessly. She pulled out her machete and walked toward the shattered glass. Mansom grabbed the girl's hand, "What are you doing?" She turned to him with nervous eyes, "I can't let him fight alone. There are too many of them." The old man laughed, "Have you not seen the board? People are bidding on Toriko for a reason. He wouldn't have jumped in if he didn't expect to handle the situation." Her eyes were still scared and amplified. Mansom smiled reassuring her, "You're a good partner Éclair." She shook her head, "We aren't partners, just good friends." Another loud roar sounded and her eyes were glued back into the coliseum. A new challenger was entering the ring. Mansom got immediately on the radio, "Rin that better not better not be the Devil Python. Calm it down, now!" "Too late, the Battle Fragrance has been pouring out this whole time. Super Relaxation Fragrance won't help
now. Tell Toriko to get ready, there's a huge enemy coming his way!"
The source of the roar appeared and it was the Devil Python itself. Down in the stadium, Toriko noticed none of the patrons leaving. He put a forceful fist too the glass and, "Five fold, Spiked Punch!" He looked to the viewing audience, "Run for your lives! The glass is broken and now there is no way to protect you from the dangerous beasts!" He looked to Mansom, "Call the match Mansom! The Battle Wolf isn't right!" Toriko fought tooth and nail to protect the precious wolf. With all of the chaotic people leaving the area, Éclair had no time to watch the fight. Her eyes went from focusing on the crowd to withholding something amazing. A new Battle Wolf was born. Its coat of fur was even whiter than it's mother's. "It's so beautiful. So that's what Toriko was protecting." Her happy eyes moved to Mansom, "Sir, did you see that?"
The Director hadn't payed attention to Éclair, he instead noticed someone still in their seat. He was an older man who didn't seem worried about the eminent danger. The bald man walked over, "Excuse me President Dohem, I know it is upsetting that the match ended prematurely but I must ask you to leave. I don't want you in harm's way." He retracted his hand and pierced it through Mansom's diaphragm. "Damn GT Robot!" "That guy is a robot?" She held tighter on the machete and stood defensively. The man sent a powerful Frying Pan Punch straight into his face. The punch sent the man flying, and it removed the facade from its face. It was the birdlike creature from the beach. Éclair put her hand over her mouth. She was frightened at what might come of this. Toriko stopped to look at the robot. It was one of those things he never thought he'd see again, or at least not this soon. She backed off and watched on as the two fights were happening. The robot grabbed Mansom and sent a beam straight through his neck. The light flashed before the girl's eyes and she was devastated.
Too many events were taking place at once. The fight between the Devil Serpent and Battle Wolf still raged on. The large wolf attack almost quicker than the eyes could see. She was amazed, but still ran to Mansom's aid. "Sir, are you okay? Please tell me you are still breathing!" As her hands covered the bloody hole in his stomach, she looked at the GT Robot. "You sick bastard." He ignored her words and shook his head, "That Battle Wolf doesn't look very tasty. It's as good alive to me as it is dead. Death wish it is." He sent a beam straight through the new mother. Éclair removed her bloody hands and grabbed her machete once again, "Asshole!" She began to advance toward him but a hand quickly grabbed hers. It was Mansom again. He shook his head, "You'll be killed. Don't do it. Besides, if he gives Toriko another reason to be angrier, this whole place might come down." She looked down in the arena, and his face was like nothing she'd ever seen. He'd been
mad before, but this was different. This was rage. Éclair's focus went back to Mansom, "How are you okay?" He chuckled, "My pain receptors are completely numb. I haven't felt a thing this whole time. Do me a favor would ya? Grab me that bottle out of my pocket." She did just that and raised her eyebrows, "With all due respect sir, I'm not sure if this is a good time for a drink."
"What!? There's always time for a drink, but that's not what I'm doing right now." He poured the vodka over his injuries, and like magic they were healed. She looked at her bloody hands and wiped them on his shirt. "Sorry sir, the blood without an injury was freaking me out." He powered up and his giant intimation formed. It wasn't long after that he powered back down. "What is it?" The man shook his head, "This fight is not mine. I'll just have to wait my turn." She looked down at Toriko and the Chief was right. His anger was in the purest form. It was dead silent in the arena, all that could be heard was the sound of Éclair's cry. "Watch out Toriko!" As the man turned around, he saw the Peeler Shots coming his way. One after another they pierced his skin. She grabbed Mansom's shirt and looked at the man, "You've gotta help him, he's a bloody mess!" The man shook his head, "You worry a lot don't you? Have faith in Toriko. Besides, if I stepped in now he'd have my head."
She wasn't taking that for an answer. She wanted the fight to end completely in her favor. She opened her backpack and pulled out her gloves to climb up the shattered glass. Before she could even walk there, a cloud of smoke clouded the arena. She couldn't see a thing and it scared her to death. She could hear the intensity of the fight before her, but nothing could be seen. As she placed a hand on the glass, she immediately cut her hand. The loose glass was too sharp; there was no way she'd make it up. "I wish I could numb my pain receptors, ouch!" Mansom ran to the girl, "You sure are stubborn huh? Just wait until the smoke settles." She looked on intensely and the smoke began to clear up. Toriko stood there bloodier than before. One glance at his eyes and she could finally feel the full rage that Mansom was sensing. Toriko advanced toward the robot and hesitated before attacking. This was the perfect time for the operator to move. It opened its mouth and Toriko's hand went up again. "Five fold concentrated ice pick Spiked Punch!" The head was blown off and Toriko smirked, "You're trash now." He looked up at Éclair, "I didn't scare you did I?" She quickly shook her head, "Me, scared? Oh please." Mansom yelled "I hate to end the denial talk, but Toriko get outta there. Men, fire." The GT Robot was shot down to unusable scrap metal. Toriko grabbed Éclair's hand, "What happened to you?" She snatched her hand back, "Hey, it's nothing a band aid or two can't fix."
Toriko's attention went back to the Battle Wolf. He hopped back into the arena and gazed upon the creature. It died standing, the most regal and prideful way. Éclair shed a tear, "I am sorry Battle Wolf. You have my deepest condolences." The newborn gave its mother a goodbye kiss and walked toward Toriko. He set down a piece of meat from the Devil Python before the man, possibly to say thank you. The two had an intense stare off until Toriko reached out a gentle hand. He pet its fur and laughed, "You're so soft. It's like a big fluffy towel. Terry Cloth, that's what I'll call you." He looked over at Rin, "Thank you for watching over him." She put her hands over her mouth and blushed fiercely, "No problem Toriko." "Hey, can you take Éclair to get patched up? I've worked up an appetite and I don't want her to bleed out at the table." She rolled her eyes, "Alright. Hey pipsqueak, follow me!"
The blond girl walked into a huge dining room. The table was enormous and there was more food than she was ever used to seeing on one table. Toriko smiled, "Feel better now Éclair? Come on, take a seat." Her jaw dropped. The closer she walked, the smaller she felt. "Uh, what up with the gargantuan feast?" Mansom laughed, "There's more where this came from. Go ahead, eat up!" Her eyes amplified "Whoa, Bacchus Dragon! Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, almost everything on this table is booze related." Toriko nodded, "Yup, the Directors full course menu is on this table." The girl scoffed under her breath, "Toriko was right, he is a drunkard. I like a drink but this is intense." Rin nodded, "You got that right! I don't like alcohol at all old man. It's too much!" Éclair laughed as they finally agreed on something.
Some time passed and Éclair waved the white flag, "I couldn't possibly eat anymore." Toriko sucked his teeth, "What! We didn't even make a dent in the food yet. It's only been 10 minutes! You ate about as much as Terry and he didn't even eat!" He looked over at the wolf, "Come on Terry, let's eat together." Mansom pounded his glass on the table, "Oh I forgot! About the Regal Mammoth. We're racing against the clock for the Jewel Meat. I'm sure that GT Robot was here to distract, and there are probably more where that came from. They probably got their grubby hands close to it already." Rin shook her head, "I just got word that my brother has reached the Island. He said he's got the Regal Mammoth." Toriko turned to the girl, "Sunny is here? Is that true Rin?" She blushed from the sound of her name, "Yup, he's on his way right now."
