Redsnidget: Whew, Here the chapter five, just notice there are many different scene that I want to add in this. Hope this is alright for you guys! Thanks you for Reviews!
Toriko belong to Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro. Oc belong to Redsnidget.
"Just as I thought, I could get some rest since you finished up all the food at my home, you decided to go. You are just as impatient as before." Coco complained as the group walking down the rough rocky road toward the Cave.
"The day you thought of it is the lucky day. All days after are unlucky days." Toriko chuckled, smoke his cigar tree in his mouth.
"In the world of fortune telling…The timing and the season you make your move is very important." Coco frowns, glance at the blue-haired Bishokou-ya.
"What if the best timing is one thousand years later? Are you gonna give it up? What if the best timing is one thousand years later? Are you gonna give it up?" Toriko smirks back.
'What in the hell is Toriko talking about..' The red haired female give both Bishokou-ya a deadpan expression at their backside.
Komatsu decided to jump in as he smiles nervously, "By..By the way…what do you think is going to happen according to you, Coco-san?"
Coco give him a look of concerns yet unsure what to say cause Komatsu to chuckles nervously wondering what's up with that face Coco made for him as Kai frowns slightly, narrow her eyes.
'If Coco see a death sign like Toriko say..then there no way in hell I will lets Matsu-chan die…'
Her mind was cut off as she notice another Bishokou-ya and his minions came out of the Cave in hurried as Toriko noticed him. "Oh! OHHHHH! You are…Sangeria-kun!"
"Who the heck is that!? I'm ZONGEH! Bishokou-ya Zongeh! Who's Sangeria anyways?" Zongeh give Toriko a glares as Kai snorts.
'Sangeria…its not even close…' Kai thought to herself, cover her mouth to prevent from laugh.
"So, did you find the beach in a cave?" Toriko smiled.
"Hmmm? Ahh…hn….Well..I.." Zongeh stammered, looks panicked before looks smug right away, "It was right in front of my eyes…"
'He's lying…' Kai and Zongeh's two minions thought to themselves, give Zongeh a looks.
"If I just caught them now it wouldn't be any fun, right? I'm the type that stops playing in a RPG Game when facing the last boss, ya know!" Zongeh bragged.
"Is that so…?" Kai muttered as Coco noticed other peoples that are scattered, sitting around as if they're waiting for something to happens.
'Bandits and Assassins..They are probably planning to attack any Bishokou-ya that comes back with Puffer Whales. Almost all of them…has death omens…I don't think it would be me or Toriko, Rather someone who's already in the Cave…' Coco looks concerned.
"Alriiiight! Let's go!" Toriko exclaimed, exciting to get some Puffer Whales. "Here we go, Coco, Komatsu, Kai!" Toriko slam Coco's back cause Coco to snapped out of his deep thought as the group walking into the dark cave as Zongeh and his minions stares at them in awe yet unsure.
"The…they didn't even take any weapons with them.." Number one Minion noticed.
"Hmph, just some amateurs trying to be Bishoku-ya! They'll know right away." Zongeh snorts.
"Wow…somehow…the cave is bigger than I expected…" Komatsu glance around in awe.
"Take out the lights, Komatsu, you too Kai, You won't be able to see anything soon because of the darkness. Don't ever go away from us, Okay Komatsu, Kai?"
"Y-yes!" Komatsu stammered start to turn on the light on his helm as Kai took out a glow stick she bring with her.
'The darkness maybe a good thin…humans acquire most of the information from their eyes…if in the darkness with less information, perhaps Komatsu-kun will come with a little more caution…same goes for Kai even thought she don't have the death omen on her…' Coco pondered.
"AHHH!" Komatsu yelped in happiness, "There's Bokiboki Mushrooms here!"
"What!? You serious?!" Toriko shouts, ran after Komatsu to see it.
'He's already acting on his own! Not at all cautious! Komatsu-kun..can you be little nervous…Please do..' Coco give the small chef a deadpan expression, pleading in his mind as he start to grew more concerns.
"Hey Coco…"
Coco blinks out of his despondent thought to glance at the female in puzzle, wonder what she want from him. Kai smiles and pat on Coco's shoulder ignore the flinch from him.
"Don't worry about Matsu-chan. I always keep a eyes on him."
"Y-yes…" Coco blinks once more in surprise.
"Ah! There's two ways we can go! Which one should we go?" Komatsu said, glance at two tunnel after they finish picked up the mushroom and walked bit deeper. Now the chef is unsure which one to take. Coco glanced over to the blue-haired Bishokou-ya.
"How's it, Toriko?"
"Crunch…" Toriko snapped the mushroom with his mouth and glance up from his snack time to glance around, sniffs in the air as he detected something, "I smell dead meat from both holes, But there's the distinct smell of millipede in the right one…there's probably the nest of a giant millipede. I can smell a bit ocean breath to the left." Toriko finish his mushroom and declared, "We're going left!"
"Alright." Coco nods as they start to turn left in the tunnels as Komatsu gasp in awe by Toriko's powerful smells. "A…amazing…"
"Fufufufu! They are running around right now!" Zongeh cackled as he image Toriko's group running around in panicked from the Giant Millipede chase after them cause the minions to laughs also.
"Hehe, it's obvious."
"Whoa!" the chef yelp as he slip cause Kai to grab him to steady him up as the Gentleman glance around, warned the Chef and his friend. "It's quite slippery here, Be careful where you step on, Komatsu-kun."
"Y-yes…" Komatsu nods with help of Kai to get back on the path to follow behind Toriko as he noticed something. "Coco-san doesn't even have flashlights…how can he go this fast in the dark?"
"Coco has good eyes. Not his eyesight but…well, his eyesight isn't normal either…but.." Toriko rambled, unsure how to explains this as Kai perk her ears up, curious. "Coco can see beyond the visible lights waves, as much as electromagnetic waves. The number of one cell and sight cells are so numerous he can see ultra-violet and infrared. For coco, this dark world might be…just as bright as noon outside."
"Am..amazing…" Komatsu gasped, stare at Coco's backside in awe.
Kai perk up, glance around cause the chef to glance up at her in concern yet puzzled of what she heard in the cave.
"Something coming.."
"Hm?" Coco blinks as he start to realized something, think Kai is correct as he hold up the hand cause Toriko to blinks at Coco in serious.
"What's wrong, Coco?"
"Wait…Stop walking. I think Miss Kai is correct."
"Is anything wro-" Komatsu start to catch up, think Toriko and Coco found something but found himself start to fall off from the Cliffside as he screaming, "I'm falling!"
Lucky for Komatsu, Toriko grab him cause Komatsu to blinks as Kai sigh in relief. Toriko glance at him with blank eyes, "What are you doing by yourself?"
"Tha…thank you very much…huh…what is this noise?" the chef dangling from Toriko's grip to looks down with his helmet flash shone brightly to see clearly as he scream in startle by see herd of Scorpion cockroach scurried around as Toriko noticed it.
"Scorpion Cockroach?! So this is the Toxic Cockroaches's nest!"
"WHOAAA!"
The group glance up, notice one person slide out of one cave and land right into the Toxic Cockroaches, right before the Wanderer Bishokou-ya start to do anything or realized anything he was being ate up by the Toxic Cockroaches. All the left is his skeleton show that he was longer in the world.
"No..way…" Komatsu whimpered, bug-eyed at this situation as Kai looks bleak. As they stood in silence respect the late Bishokou-ya's death for a moments. The Glutton asked the Gentleman.
"The problem is, we have to go through here…Coco."
"I got it." Coco sighed as he start to take off his green wrapped around his neck, "I will go down first. Follow me." Coco command cause Komatsu to look concern yet panicky.
"Eh!? Please Wait…What do you mean, you will go down firs-" He paused to see Coco's neck turning purple, spread over the Gentleman's face as Kai stares at him in moments with indifferent expression. Komatsu gasped and call out Coco as he jump off the cliff side and into the infested of Toxic Cockroaches.
Thus the Cockroaches notice something dangerous came and scurried away in hurried as if they want to get away from Coco cause Kai's wide eyed at this.
"Eh…Why!?" Komatsu gasped as well as Toriko smiled, "Hmph..These cockroaches with their highly toxic poison can also detect the danger."
"So Coco is the dangerous around because of his skins?" Kai asked.
"Mhmm, Coco's poison." Toriko answered before grab Komatsu and Kai in each arms cause the protests from Kai. "Let's go Komatsu, Kai! We're going to follow Coco!" As he said it, he jump from the Cliffside with Komatsu and Kai in each arms and release them to lets them to walk alongside.
Once they made it out safe, Coco sighed as his purple skin slowly turn back into normal as he put the green wrapped around back on him and put the last piece on his head, smiles nervously, "Sorry for scaring you, Komatsu-kun, Miss Kai. You are both safe now."
"What do you mean..by poison…Who are you Coco-san?" Komatsu ask unsurely.
"Coco has poison inside his body." Toriko sighed, think Komatsu didn't listen to Kai and his conversation before.
"Most of us Bishoku-ya's often can make 'immunity' Artificially against poisonous living things." Coco smiles as he explains, "By injecting a tiny potion of poisons in poisonous snakes, insects, or plants of the nature regularly over a long period of time. We can make 'antibodies' in our body artificially."
"Matsu-chan." Kai caught Komatsu's attention, "Remember Toriko got bitten by Zombies Taipans before?"
"AH!" Komatsu gasped as he remember the flashback.
"However, it is said in the Nature, there are hundreds to thousands kinds of poison, it is quite impossible to make antibodies for all of them, even I have only about seventy kinds…"
'I got about fifty inside of me..' Kai remembers.
"The amount of anti-bodies Coco has is five hundred. It is even abnormal in the Bishoku-ya." Toriko continues to explains to Komatsu and Kai cause them to eye pop out.
"Fi..Five hundred…" The chef whispered as Kai start to have a jaw-dropped moments. Coco smiles and shrug slightly.
"By chance, my body can endure more poison than most people but because I injected far too much poison, they began to mix with each other…and a new kind of poison was produced in me." Coco looks sad for a moments, "I am now a 'poisonous human'" Coco chuckled, erase the sad face that Kai have capture for a moments, "My identity is just an undignified extremist, but there aren't many beasts who dares to attack me…The cockroaches too."
'I see…but I wonder…' Kai start to think as Coco start to announcement that they should start to walk right away as Coco start to lead the way again.
"Coco-san…he seemed sad.." Komatsu said, concerns.
"Once, a lot of scientists and medics of IGO chased him around in order to produce perfect serum from his blood…he was also about to be isolated as first class 'dangerous being'"
Kai flinched at that sound start to understood why she feel so strong connection with the Gentleman but unsure what to say in front of them even though she did told Komatsu about her life situation before as she shudder at the bad memories as she start to walk after Coco as Toriko continues to explains to the Chef.
"He has a lot of bad memories..he probably got out of Bishoku-ya business because he want to get rid of all that…" Toriko sighed
"But….to have the beasts avoid you! That's the best thing I can ever hope for! I can go to dangerous area as much as I want" Komatsu said with carefree naïve options cause Toriko to chuckled.
Slowly as they walking carefully through the tunnel that's slowly get narrow, thanks to Toriko's smell they get through the hole of many tunnels correctly and never face many challenger along the way as Coco lead them on with his sights.
"It's getting quite steep…" Toriko muttered.
"Yeah, there's a huge hole about one hundred meters right below here." Coco glance down at the giant hole on the bottom as he glance around try to see more further for beasts or dangerous thing appear but none has happen.
"Are…Are we going to go down here?" Komatsu looks down nervously.
"Shall we go with abseiling? Is the rope long enough?" Toriko asked as he pull out the rope and glance at the chef and the part-time chef. "One of you should cling to one of us."
"Ehhh! Are we gonna to be okay with a rope this thin!?" Komatsu glance at the such thick rope as Toriko huffed, fix up the rope, "Don't underestimate these carbon fiber ropes! It won't snap eve if there are a hundred people on it!"
"So Matsu-chan, who are you going with?" Kai asked as Komatsu give a rope another skeptical looks as he announcement who he will go with.
"I…I'll descend with you Coco-san!" Komatsu jumped on Coco's back, startled Coco as he protested. "Whoa! Wait a sec Komatsu-kun! I have a pois-"
"Poison? No fish lives in clear water! Right?" Komatsu grins, held onto Coco who blinks at him in surprise cause Kai to laughs then looks proud for Komatsu.
'This is Komatsu's pure kindness...just like before…' Kai sigh before look at Toriko, "Look like I get a ride with you Toriko~"
"Alright! Hop on Kai!" Toriko grins as he bend over for her to climb up on his back. "Just like old time eh?" He teased.
"Aye!" Kai comments.
As the Bishokou-ya with their each partner on their back start to descends down the rope as it slowly getting darker, slowly there are many sea firefly surround around us. Komatsu was in awe by the beauty of it.
"They are really beautiful!"
"That means we are nearing the beach in a cave." Coco said with a smiles before start to notice something wrong with the sea firefly that vanish completely.
"GYAAAAA!"
"Eh!?" Komatsu squeaked, cling tightly onto Coco, "What was that voice just now…?"
"It's the screams of other Bishoku-ya's…." Coco muttered frowns as he noticed more, 'Soundless fluttering…long legs…wings with a pattern…' Coco start to look up, "Toriko! There are Swallow tail Bats! We'll descend right away!"
"But Toriko caught one!" Kai protest back, smack Toriko's head as Toriko's mouth is full of one large Swallow tail Bats who screech in pain.
"GYAAAA! He's eating it!" Komatsu shout, noticed Toriko right now as Coco warned him, "Komatsu-kun, cling tighter." As he release the rope cause Toriko to release also as they slide down quicker as they land on the ground harder yet steady.
KII-IIII!
A swarm of Swallow-tail Bats rush toward them, get ready to kill them as Komatsu scream in fear of how many there are as Toriko looks happier as always, "HMPH! That's a good attitude, Bats!" As he start his pray and mutter while drooling at the though of how tasty they are. "Thanks for the meal…"
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!
Toriko snap his mouth at each bats that quickly while use his hand to slice up all bat in half, muffled with Bat in his mouth, "FOOOOAAAAK!" He jab his left hand, caught many bats as possible as he swallow up some dead bat in his mouth. "Mmmm~ Yummy!"
"GYAAAAAH! HE ATE ALL OF THEM!" The chef screeched, jaw dropped at Toriko, "Can they eaten raw?" he muttered that last part.
"I supposed." Kai comments.
Coco was prepared himself as he pull one green waist out, show his purple blotch that spread rather fast over his hand, even start to drip out from his tips. "Poison dressing." He said all calm, threw those dripping like poison toward the Bat cause all of them to drop dead pretty fast. Kai narrow her eyes.
"Um…Something is wrong, why would they attack you…?" Kai said skeptical.
"Ah, rather than attacking me…they looked like they were fleeing from something…" Coco noticed before blinks, "HM? Where's Komatsu-kun!?"
That cause the Glutton and Kai to realized their chef went missing as they looks around in panic, even Toriko start to called out his name.
"Komatsu!"
"TORIKO!"
"Ah?" Toriko glance around to see why Coco cried out in startled as Kai was slowly start to panic, turns around also to see a giant lizard appear before them. It was the Devil Python who growls, stares down at them three.
"Oh hell no! Not the Devil Python!" Kai cried out, start to get angrier every minutes as Komatsu went missing.
"Don't you move, Kid. I'll free you from the pain soon enough." the man who kidnapped Komatsu who muffled and try to break free but failed as he thought to himself.
'Toriko-san! Kai-chan! Coco-san!'
"This..This monster is the…" Toriko gasped.
"The Legendary Beast!" Coco finished the line.
"Why now…" Kai growls.
SKREEE SKEEEEEEEEE!
"How can he give off such sound!" Toriko winced as Kai cover her ear as if she in pain from the loud noise the Devil Python made as two Bishokou-ya notice the Devil's arm start to pull back for a moments then thrust ahead, grab Toriko's body as it continues to push Toriko backward.
"TORIKO!" Coco and Kai cried out as they dodge the attack, as Toriko yelled crashed into the cliff side cause Toriko to cough up blood.
The Devil Serpent start to hack up its spit toward Coco and Kai cause Coco to grab Kai and dodge it by jumping away.
"Wow…He spit out his digestive acids…" Coco muttered, held Kai to his body.
"Shit! He's going to do that to Toriko!" Kai called out cause Coco to snap out of his thought as he notice the Devil is doing it again but this time to Toriko who struggles to get out of the Devil's grasp as Coco leave Kai behind to run ahead.
"TORIKO!"
"DON'T YOU GET COCKY!" Toriko cried out, used all of his strength to break free. Once he was free he start to use his right hand to hack away the hand that held him, "KNIFE!" As soon the arm of the Devil's arm start to cut apart.
"You moron! Get away from there!" Kai shout out, knew its Devil Python's powerness as Toriko and Coco look surprise by it reign its new arm as soon as they get out of their startled moments, Toriko got hit once again by its new arm to crash back into the cliff side.
"OWW!"
"Toriko!" Coco gasped then looks up at the Devil Pyhton once more, growling as Kai called out.
"Devil Python can regenerate any leg like a newts! Watch out for his speed and power also!"
"GAAAAAA! HEY SNAKE KING! WANT ME TO EAT YA HUH!?" Toriko looks pissed off as he cackled, show his demon side once more.
Coco start to grab all green wrapped off of him, release his posion through the body, "Toriko. You know where Komatsu is, right?"
"Hm? Yeah, if I follow his scent."
"Yosh, I'll take him down. Get Kai out of here and find Komatsu-kun when I do."
"NONSENSE!"
"Eh…" Coco blinks in surprised, glance at the Glutton.
"I didn't force Komatsu to come. He came here on his own! He understands that this is part of the dangerous districts, and he probably has thought of the worst." Toriko said.
"Toriko, Komatsu-kun…he.." Coco was uncertain.
"Ah? Can you see death about him? Don't worry, he leaves a will every time he comes with me." Toriko smirks, "Beside…Kai already left in search for him." Toriko points out the missing female in their group cause Coco to glance around for her in worries as Toriko explains more.
"That's how it is. Can you see death about that king snake there?"
"…..No." Coco admits as he give the snake all over for death omen.
"Seee~ That means you won't be able to take him on your own…WE will take him down together!" Toriko confirmed.
"Both are the Four Heavenly Kings..Coco and Toriko! What a group! With those two, they can probably hang on for a while! I will get on the beach in a cave from another route…" The Kidnapper said as he running through the tunnel with Komatsu in his arm, clasp his mouth in case. "Brat! I will have ya get the attention of the monsters! As the Sacrifice!"
'Oh hell no! I did not accept this at all! Komatsu! You better stay alive while I get there! And kill you myself for not being careful!' Kai ran down the tunnel where the kidnapper and Komatsu is by follow the scent as she continues to run faster. In the shadow of herself, there a glimpse of a giant monster behind her that was cover in white….Its eyes glowing bright red show its anger.
"No…No way…why here, too!" Kidnapper looks panic along with Komatsu who bug-eyed at another Devil Python who ate a creature for its lunch as it notice them. "NO WAYYYYY!"
SKREEE-EEEEEE!
"Damn bastard!" Kidnapper shout, throw Komatsu down the cliff side in front of the Devil python as he start to run away, laughing, "There, Food! Food Devil Serpent!"
The Kidnapper didn't realized that he was captured easily by the Devil Serpent as he pick it up and swallow it to his death. Leave the small Chef all alone in front of many creatures cause him to screaming in panic, start to notice that he was in deep trouble.
"Let's go Toriko! The hell? Are you planning on carrying that thing around?" Coco cried in protest as he notice Toriko start to drag the devil python's meats that they both killed a second ago, "We'll pass by that spot on the way back.." Coco start to plead as he was worry about Komatsu and Kai.
"But if it's eaten by other beasts in the meanwhile, wouldn't that be a shock?" Toriko scoffed.
"It's ok. It's got my poison in it!" Coco huffed, "Never mind that! Komatsu-kun! We've got to chase after him quickly!"
"Don't Panic. I made sure to at least hand him a secret weapon for when he or Kai is in a pinch by themselves." Toriko looks smugly.
GOAAAA…
GRRRRRRR!
The elephant look monster is creeping up closer for its free meal and that was the frantic chef who looking through the bag for something as he slowly start to teary up, thinking what Toriko say to him back on the train.
"If by any chance, you encounter wild beasts when you're alone, use this. Specially made by me…Toriko Cracker!"
"A..Cracker you say?" Komatsu blinked. "You mean that..that thing you pop at birthday and stuff?"
"Hey, Hey! Don't make a food out of it. If you pop this in a residential area, the firefighters and police will come rushing in two minutes. I've played with the type and amount of gun powder. This produces an explosion that doesn't even compare to a firecracker you pop at some average festival." Toriko grins, handle those Toriko cracker in Komatsu's hand.
"Uwa! That's heavy!" Komatsu exclaimed by the heaviness of it.
"Listen." Toriko command, "Including humans, all animals fear 'sound' that means 'sound' is a primitive phenomenon that living things are instinctively frightened by…" Toriko paused, "At least, it would be more useful than some puny hunting gun they sell around."
"Ummm…Ummm..Got it!" Komatsu exclaimed as he pull out one Toriko cracker as he notice the wire, "So you pull this wire!" He start to pull the wire with all of his strength, notice how hard it is to pull it off. "Nnnnngggggghhh It's….HARD!"
GOAAAAAAA!
"WAAAAAAAAA!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Komatsu frozen stiff as if his heart died out, as he slowly drop down, limpness and eye widen as the Devil python shook its noise out before growling angrily, start to get ready to eat the small chef up for its third snack but frozen stiff as if he notice the danger behind him cause him to twist his body around, trembling before its monster who seem to glares back down.
It's a huge white wolf that was huge than the devil python's body as it snarling enraged as if it don't enjoy what its seeing as the Devil python don't know what to do, Flee or battle the wolf to the death as it choose the battle it cried out in its battle war.
"YOU BASTARD!"
SKREEE-EEEEE!
As it dies down, the Devil Python have no chance against its battle as it lied there all cut up into a pieces as the Red haired girl panting heavily from its running and glares darkly toward the Devil Python with its red eyes before it slowly change back to icy-blue eyes.
She rush ahead to her best friend to shake Komatsu back and forth try to get something out from him. "Komatsu..Matsu-chan…Wake up! Please!" She plead and call out for him as she start to get teary like, slowly start to realized the situation of it.
"KOMATSU! YOU CAN'T DIE ON ME!"
"Ui~~ So loud~ What was that noise?" The old man that seem to be buffed up from the upper area, hiccup and looks drunk as ever as Kai notice it was her Train-hater buddy from the train as he drink the sake from its tiny cup with his giant hand, "Right next to someone enjoying the puffer fish whale's fin sake in a good mood!"
"OLD MAN!" Kai cried out in surprise.
"Oh my, Oh my…" the old man blink, notice her and the dead body of a chef as he notice the situation, "This child is…his heart stopped from the shock of the explosion..and his ear drums are ripped as well…"
"So…there no chance for him to come back…" Kai whimpered, start to tear-eyes again.
"Well I own you kids a favor for the sake on the train. As a thanks, I'll give you a present of a second life." The old man chuckled, unzip the jacket to show off many various machines that he knew what to do.
"REALLY? Oh Thank you Mister!" Kai cried out of pure happiness about getting her old friend back.
"That explosion from before…! My custom-made Toriko Cracker! You've popped one huh?!" Toriko notice the noise as Two Heavenly King ran down the tunnel, avoid the Swallow-tail Bats who flee from its noises.
"Hey, hey! Just how much gunpowder is in there, Toriko!?" Coco asked, unsure.
"Maybe there was a bit too much…." Toriko scratch his chin, looks skeptical, "I forgot to tell Komatsu and Kai to put earplugs in too.."
"…L-Lets hurry!" Coco said as he panic thinking, 'Probability of my fortunetelling to be right is 97%…it's a high probability but..it's not 100% Three percent is wrong! Komatsu-kun!'
"KOMATSU-KUN!"
"KOMATSUUU!" Toriko cried out aloud as they in the area to see Komatsu was hugged to the death by Kai who seem to cried in relief. Komatsu looks dazed for a moments as he notice the Bishokou-ya's running up to him.
"Ko..komatsu!" Toriko looks relief.
"To..Toriko-san! Coco-san! Kai-chan!" Komatsu start to cried, hugs Kai tightly.
