Description
Komatsu-san and Toriko-san were sitting down on some boxes inside the helicopter and started talking about the client.

"He seems confident to be here in danger for someone extremely wealthy." Komatsu-san says.

"That's because of those men in the black suits. They're elite warriors in many fighting styles and get hired as bodyguards by only the super wealthy." An older gentleman says.

"Oh, so that's the reason he's not afraid to come to such a dangerous place." Komatsu-san replies.

"There's just one problem though; our client's not here." Toriko-san says looking down smirking.

"What are you talking about Toriko-san?" Komatsu-san asks.

"Yes, wasn't he on the boat with us?" I ask confused.

"The little lady's right. You're just talkin' crazy talk." The old man says before walking away.

"What did you really mean Toriko-san?" Komatsu asks again.

I suddenly hear a commotion coming from behind me. I turn around and see Caveman-san and a woman with brown hair and eyes yelling back and forth at each other.

'Is that Caveman-san's girlfriend? No, that can't be right. She has a carrier balloon pigeon with her; someone from Gourmet News perhaps?' I think as I turn my attention back to Toriko-san and Komatsu-san.

'This is going to be an eventful adventure.' I think smiling a tiny bit.

-----------------line break---------------

When we step off of the helicopter, I hear Caveman-san immediately start to complain about how cold it is.

'He wouldn't be cold if he just wore the thermal body suits like everyone else.' I think as a sweatdrop appears on the back of my head.

I see the woman from Gourmet News give Caveman-san an extra thermal body suit.

'Maybe that is his girlfriend..............gross.' I think with a slightly disturbed look on my face.

I look over to Takimaru-kun to see that he is glaring at me slightly.

"Eep!" I squeak out and turn back to Toriko-san and Komatsu-san.

"This is as far as we can take you! The wind's too strong! You're going to have to climb the rest of the way yourself from here on out!" One of the guys from the helicopter yells.

"We're going to head back down to pick up the second unit!" I hear the same man shout as the helicopter takes off leaving us.

"Well, we'd best start climbing." I say trying to stay positive despite the freezing cold weather.

"Yeah." Toriko-san agrees. He looks at Komatsu-san for a moment before speaking.

"Climb on my back Komatsu; I'll carry you to the top." He says turning around and kneeling down so that Komatsu-san can climb on.

"Ah, are you sure?" Komatsu-san asks looking unsure.

"I wouldn't be asking otherwise." Toriko-san replies with a smile before becoming serious again.

"Okay." Komatsu-san says and climbs onto his back. Toriko-san stands up and looks to me.

"Will you be alright?" He asks concern in his eyes.

"Yes. Aimaru-sama taught me many things. I may not be good at fighting high capture level ingredients, but I can hold my own when the situation calls for it." I say with a nod and a small smile.

"Suite yourself." Toriko-san says with a shrug before he begins to climb the ice cliff. I begin to climb as well doing my best to keep up with everyone. As I'm climbing, my hand slips on one of the chunks of ice. Just as I'm about to fall, a hand quickly grabs mine and places it on a more sturdy ice chunk. I look up and see that the one who saved me was Takimaru-kun.

"Thank you Takimaru-kun." I say.

He doesn't reply, just nods slightly and glares at me as if to say, 'I TOLD you to be careful and to not cause me any problems!' I nod in reply. We both look away from each other and begin climbing again; me trying my best not to cry in front of Takimaru-kun. I eventually catch up to Toriko-san and Komatsu-san just as they reach the top of the cliff.

"Heh, we've reached the top." I hear Toriko-san say, slightly short of breath from the long trek up.

"That sure was fast Toriko-san! It seems that we are the only ones so far that have made it to the top!" Komatsu-san exclaims with a smile.

I climb next to them and look at them questioningly.

"Don't forget about me." I say with a small smile followed by a laugh when I see Komatsu-san's startled face as he turns to me in surprise.

"Ah, I didn't see you there Crystal-san." He replied sheepishly.

Toriko-san lifts his upper body to see on top of the cliff and his eyes widen as if he knows something we don't.

"What is it Toriko-san?" I question and lift myself onto the ice cliff to see for myself. I see nothing but harsh winds that blow into our faces. The wind is so cold that my face is starting to numb.

"S-s-sooo c-cold." I hear Komatsu-san stutter through the howling wind.

"Alright then. Hey! Takimaru! Get up here already!" I hear Toriko-san yell.

"Okay! I'll be there in just a moment!" I hear Takimaru-kun reply back.

'Even with these thermal body suits, my body is beginning to freeze.' I think as I begin to shiver from the cold.

I close my eyes a little to keep them from freezing as I continue to look ahead of me. As my eyesight begins to focus a little more, I begin to see a shape of some kind beginning to reveal itself amongst the harsh winds.

'What? Is that what I think it is?' I think as I continue to stare at it.

"Ah! Toriko-san! There in front of us! Quickly! Look!" Komatsu-san yells in fright.

Toriko-san turns around and gasps as his eyes widen in shock.

My eyes widen in shock as well as I gaze up at the majestically, terrifying beauty that is the Tundra Dragon.

"It's the Guardian of Ice Hell who is said to freeze any and all who come here! The Tundra Dragon!" Komatsu-san exclaims in exasperation.

As we stand up on the cliff, we get a better look at the Tundra Dragon.

"Something doesn't feel right. The Tundra Dragon would've attacked us by now." I mumble as I begin to think.

We shielded ourselves as another blast of the freezing winds blew past us.

Toriko-san looked down at the dragon's feet and noticed the exact same thing that I did. We both look at each other and nodded in silent agreement.

"It looks to be frozen solid." I state looking up at the frozen Tundra Dragon.

"The answer that I want to know is, 'how did the Gate Keeper of Ice Hell end up frozen.'" Toriko-san says looking up as well. Komatsu-san just stares at it, mouth hanging open at hearing this information.

Komatsu-san then looks around and gasps.

"Toriko-san! Crystal-san! Look!" Komatsu-san shouts.

We look around us and see frozen statues of bishokuya; all with their weapons drawn and mouths open in a yell.

"Those all can't be people! ...Right?!" Komatsu-san exclaims.

"They're the Gourmet Hunters that came before us to get the Century Soup and ended up being killed and frozen. They couldn't even make it past the entrance. This place really lives up to its name, Ice Hell." Toriko-san says as his eyes narrow.

I hear heavy breathing and turn around to see that Takimaru-kun had finally made it to the top. I walk over to him as bend down in front of him.

"Let me help you." I say as I hold out my hand for him to take.

He opens his eye(s) and glares at me slightly.

"I don't need your help." He says, then he looks at Toriko-san.

"What's the emergency?" He asks Toriko-san. His eye(s) widen as well when he, too, sees the state that the Tundra Dragon is in.

"The Tundra Dragon! It's-!" Takimaru-kun started, but was cut off by Toriko-san.

"Oi! Takimaru! Crystal! It's about time we get serious! You won't be able to beat this place if you're only half baked." He stated looking back at us with a grin.

Takimaru-kun and I both stare at him shocked with our mouths hanging open for a moment before we compose ourselves.

I turn to look at Takimaru-kun again with a determined expression on my face.

"Takimaru-kun, grab my hand. I'll pull you up." I state in a serious tone.

Takimaru-kun looks at me for a second before he gives me his hand. I help pull him up to the top of the cliff; making sure to be careful of the slippery terrain.

"Thanks....I guess." Takimaru-kun mumbles as he dusts himself off.

"No problem Takimaru-kun!" I reply with a smile.

About a minute later, I see the others catching up to us; including Match-san and his friends.

We all walk a little further when Toriko-san suddenly stops.

"This wind..." He starts as he looks ahead with his back facing us.

"It's so cold that it could freeze just about anything." He continues.

"It all makes sense now as to why the helicopter couldn't make it up here. It's almost as if we're caught in the middle of an icy hurricane." Match-san states looking back at Takimaru-kun and I.

"It would be best for all of us to stay together and continue on as a group. What do you think?" Takimaru-kun asks looking at Toriko-san.

"Agreed. I'll lead okay." Toriko-san states.

As I'm making sure I have everything I'll need, I hear Caveman-san ramble on and on about being an experienced hunter and stuff.

'Does that guy ever stop.' I think.

"Alright people! Let's go!" Toriko-san says as he begins to walk ahead of us.

As we're walking past the Tundra Dragon and the frozen statues, Takimaru-kun and I begin to take a closer look at them.

"All of these men..." Takimaru-kun starts.

"They're all completely frozen." I finish.

"That may be true, but then again, they weren't wearing specially made thermal body suits." Komatsu-san explains.

~Time Skip to about 15 minutes later~

"The winds seem to be getting harsher. Its got to be at least about 30 mps (meters per second). The temperature seems to have dropped to around 100 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit)." Toriko-san says.

I breath out slowly and notice that as soon as my breath leaves my body, it instantly freezes.

I feel my body starting to numb, but I ignore it and keep moving.

'I won't be a burden to Takimaru-kun and the others.' I think as I try to walk faster.

I hear one of Match-san's partners say something, but I can't make it out from all the wind and the chattering of my teeth.

"You have to be tougher Rum (or is it Rom?). There isn't any room to be weak, not here." Match-san says as he looks back at one of his partners, Rum-san.

Suddenly, something comes flying at high speeds and passes by Match-san. As it's about to hit Rum-san, Toriko-san catches it.

"That isn't a sastrika (is that how you spell it?) is it?" Match-san asks.

"Yeah, it looks like it." Toriko-san replies.

"It looks like the terrain has been molded into these sharp spears by the surrounding winds." Toriko-san continues as he looks around.

"There's more coming! Be prepared!" Toriko-san yells to everyone.

It's like a barrage, hundreds upon thousands are flung at us as we all try our best to dodge out of the way. Match-san runs at some with his hand on his sword; a serious look of concentration on his face. He slices through them with little to no effort.

'Impressive.' I think as I continue to dodge the oncoming ice spears.

I turn to my left and see Takimaru-kun running at some as well and shatters them with ease.

'There's no way that I'm being left out. I may not be able to beat high capture level ingredients, but I'll be able to help take care of this icicle storm.' I think with a slight smirk. I run ahead a little and see some coming towards me.

"Watch out Crystal-san!" I hear Komatsu-san cry out.

I ignore him and concentrated. I use the moves that Aimaru-sama taught me, effectively shattering all of the ice spears around me. To everyone else, it looked like I was dancing a beautiful ballet since they all looked at me in awe for a moment before shaking their heads and re-focusing on the task at hand.

I destroy a few more ice spears and look around. That's when I notice Komatsu-san is walking straight into the path of oncoming ice spears.

"Look out Komatsu-san!" I shout as I run to him and hug him to me, closing my eyes and preparing to take the hit instead.

"Watch out!" I hear Toriko-san yell. I then feel myself and Komatsu-san get lifted into big, strong arms. I open my eyes and see that it was Toriko-san that had saved us.

"You saved both of our lives! Thank you Toriko-san!" Komatsu-san exclaims.

"Yes, thank you very much Toriko-san." I say politely.

Toriko-san doesn't say anything, he just smiles in reply.

~Time skip to 20 minutes later~

Toriko-san is still walking ahead leading the group, but the only difference is that Komatsu-san is being held under Toriko-san's arm and I'm holding onto his back.

"I thought you said you couldn't fight, Crystal-san." Komatsu-san says in a questioning tone.

"Against high capture level ingredients yes; against non-living things, such as those ice spears, and low capture level carnivorous plants and animals, no. I still need more training." I reply sheepishly.

"I see. You know, your fighting style is beautiful. It looked like you were dancing." Komatsu-san says smiling up at me.

"He's right. You're talented Crystal." Toriko-san states.

"T-thank you very much." I reply blushing from all of the praise.

I yawn a little as I think back to everything we've gone through so far.

'I never realized how tired I was because of all the adrenaline, but now that the chaos has died down, I realize how tired I really am.' I think as I try to fight back sleep.

Toriko-san suddenly stops walking and looks back at all of us and sees that we're all tired and sore. Some of us are even half asleep. He, then, looks back ahead and Komatsu-san stares at him in confusion.

"We'll be taking a short break here to rest up." He says as he turns around to face everyone. He then uses his Knife attack to cut out a huge square chunk out of the ice to protect us from the harsh winds while we rest.

Everyone starts to set up tents and sleeping bags and tries their best to keep warm. I gave Takimaru-kun a pan for him to hold the milk, that he had brought, in as he heated it up for Komatsu-san and Match-san's partners. Komatsu-san was inside one of the sleeping bags trying his best to warm up.

After the milk had warmed up, Takimaru-kun took it off if the mini burner and poured some of it into a cup.

"Here, drink some of this. It should help you warm up in no time." Takimaru-kun says with a small smile as he hands the cup of warm milk over to Komatsu-san.

"Ah, thank you." Komatsu-san replies as he sits up in his sleeping bag and takes the cup from Takimaru-kun. He drinks some of it and let's out a content sigh.

"It's so warm." He says looking down at the cup.

Takimaru-kun then poured the rest of the warm milk into the other cups and handed them to Match-san's partners.

"Sorry old man, I only have enough left for you friends there." Takimaru-kun stated in a sort of bored tone.

"Don't call me 'old man'. I'm still in my twenties." Match-san stated irritatedly.

"Still in your twenties?! You're kidding!" Takimaru-kun exclaimed surprised.

"These are scars not wrinkles, ya know!" Match-san retorts with a scowl.

I didn't listen to the rest because I had gotten up and went to where Toriko-san was guarding the outside.

"Hello Toriko-san." I say as I walk up and stand next to him.

"Oh hey Crystal! What're you doing up here?" Toriko-san asks.

"Just thought I'd come up here and keep you company." I reply.

"Hmm." Toriko-san hummed in thought.

We stand in silence for a good 10 minutes before Toriko-san decides to break it.

"So, what's the deal with you and Takimaru?" He asks.

"Huh?" I question.

" I mean, are you guys 'together'?" Toriko-san elaborated.

"Oh." I say as I blush heavily.

"No, no; we're not 'together'!" I continue, waving my hands in front of my face as I shake my head very fast still blushing.

"But you wanna be." Toriko-san states staring at my blushing face smirking slightly.

"........Is it really THAT obvious?" I ask quietly looking down shyly.

"To everyone but the guy himself it seems like." Toriko-san replies.

I sigh as tears well up in my eyes. I sit down and hold my legs close to my chest and lay my head down on my knees.

"I don't think he'll ever notice my feelings for him." I say as I try my best not to break down. Suddenly, I feel a hand start to pet the top of my head in a sort of comforting manner.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come around. He'd have to be a pretty big fool not to see what we see." I hear a somewhat familiar voice say. I look up to see Match-san crouching down and smiling at me as he continues to pat my head.

'That's what Aimaru-sama had said.' I thought.

"Match-san.....Toriko-san......" I mutter as I look at them; my eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Thank you." I whisper as I managed to give them a small closed-eye smile; tears falling down my cheeks not in sadness, but in happiness and hope.

~Big Timeskip to when Baby Wall Penguin shows up (trying to move the story along a little faster.)~

We were all eating the Stewed Silver Grizzly that Komatsu-san made around our little campsite.

"Delicious." I whispered as I smiled in happiness.

"Man, this is so good! The meat just melts in your mouth, the icicle scallions add a nice spice to it, and the stew really warms up the body. I don't even feel a trace of cold anymore!" Toriko-san exclaims, grinning.

"Yes, it is rather exquisite." Takimaru-kun compliments smiling slightly.

"It's pretty good, right guys?" Match-san asks his partners.

"It is." They agree.

"Komatsu! Fill 'er up! Another round!" Toriko-san shouts.

"Ah, yes okay. I'm gonna need to put more Silver Grizzly meat in the pot since Toriko-san keeps eating it all." Komatsu-san said smiling.

I hear Komatsu-san mutter something, but don't think much of it. That is, until he shouts in surprise.

We all look to where Komatsu-san was and there sat an adorable pink Baby Wall Penguin.

Komatsu-san started gushing and hugging it, telling it how cute it is.

"S-so cute....." I mutter with a light blush on my face.

"Oh, a Baby Wall Penguin." Toriko-san says surprised.

"They're endangered, isn't that right." Takimaru-kun asks Toriko-san as he holds me by the back of my suit when I go to try to hug the little Wall Penguin.

"Yeah, hey Komatsu! I'd be careful if I were you. Baby Wall Penguins may be friendly to humans, but the parents are absolutely vicious. They'll tear you apart when they see you with their child because they'll think you stole him." Toriko-san says laughing. Komatsu-san gets scared, but I calm him down telling him that there is nothing to worry about.

"So, since this little guy's going to be with us until we can find its parents, he'll have to have a name." I said as I looked at the little Wall Penguin.

"Got any ideas?" Toriko-san asks me.

"Hmm..........Ichigo." I said after thinking for a moment.

"Yun, yun yun yunyun yuuuuuun!" The Wall Peguin exclaimed in a huff.

"I guess it doesn't like that name" I say sweat dropping.

".....How about Yun?" Komatsu-san asks looking down at the Baby Wall Penguin.

"...........Yun yun!" It smiled.

"Yun it is then. Nice to meet you Yun." I say smiling softly.

Afterwards, I lean my head on Takimaru-kun's shoulder and close my eyes to take a quick nap. I feel really exhausted so a nap will do me some good.

I wake up a little bit after about 10 minutes, but keep my eyes closed. I hear the reasons why everyone is going after the Century Soup. I feel Takimaru-kun's shoulders shake as he cried, stating our reason for going.

'Please don't cry Takimaru-kun. We'll get the Century Soup and buy the medicine we need for Aimaru-sama; I promise.' I think as I place my hand on his and squeeze it reassuringly before falling back into a light slumber.

~Time Skip to when they're all getting ready for bed.~

I wake up from my nap feeling slightly less exhausted, but still tired. I take my head off of Takimaru-kun's shoulder and look up at him.

"Thank you Takimaru-kun." I mumble sleepily.

Takimaru-kun doesn't say anything in reply, so I turn my attention to Komatsu-san, who is trying to get Yun to go to sleep.

"Time to go to sleep, Yun." Komatsu-san says.

"Yun yun." Yun said looking wide awake.

"Huh? You're not tired? But, it's really late and Baby Wall Penguins need their rest." Komatsu-san explains.

"Yun." Yun says looking slightly defiant and crosses its arms a little.

"Ah.....Crystal-san, could you help me please! Yun doesn't want to go to sleep!" Komatsu-san asks looking at me desperately.

"Sure. I'll sing a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me when I was little and couldn't fall asleep." I reply with a little yawn.

I walk over to Komatsu-san and sit down next to him. I pick up Yun and hold him (is Yun a boy or a girl?) like a mother would hold her baby. I take a deep breath and start to sing softly while stroking his feathers.

(Disclaimer: I don't own Toriko, Clannad or the songs from Clannad. Sorry if some of the lyrics are incorrect. Also, for those that don't know; this song is called Chiisana te no hira.)

Tooku de tooku de

Yureteru inaho no umi

I sang softly, yet clear enough for everyone to hear it. They all stopped what they were doing and began listening as I sang the little Wall Penguin to sleep.

Ho wo age ho wo age

Mezashita omoide he to

Bokura wa kyou made no

Kanashii koto zenbu

Oboeteru ka wasureta ka

I hummed the short instrumental part as I rocked from side to side.

Chiisana te ni mo

Itsukara ka bokura

Oikoshiteku tsuyosa

Ureta budou no

Shita naiteta hi

Kara aruita

Chiisana te de mo

Hanarete mo

Bokura wa kono

Michi yukunda

Itsuka kuru hi wa

Ichiban no omoide wo

I looked down a little and saw that little Yun was starting to fall asleep, but not quite fully asleep yet. I looked up and found that everyone was starting to fall asleep as well.

Kisetsu wa utsuri

Mou tsumetai

Kaze ga

Tsutsumarete

Nemure ano haru no

Uta no naka de

I took a small deep breath getting ready for the climactic part of the song.

Chiisana te ni mo

Itsukara ka bokura

Oikoshiteku tsuyosa

Nureta hoho ni wa dore

Dake no egao ga

Utsutta

Chiisana te de mo

Hanarete mo

Bokura wa kono

Michi yukunda

Soshite kuru hi wa

Bokura mo omoide wo

Shimatta

I looked around and everyone, even little Yun, was fast asleep. I decided to finish the song anyways despite the fact that they weren't listening anymore.

Chiisana te mo itsu

No hi ka bokura

Oikoshite yukunda

Yagate kuru hi wa

Atarashii kisetsu wo

Hiraita

After singing the last note, I set Yun down next to a sleeping Komatsu-san. Komatsu-san and Yun immediately hug one another in their sleep.

'How cute.' I think as a small smile makes its way onto my face. I put a warm blanket over Komatsu-san and Yun and pet Yun on the head softly one last time. I then place blankets over everyone else to make sure they don't catch their death in the cold as they sleep.

"Good night you guys." I whisper before heading into my tent and going to bed.

'We've got a big day tomorrow, but I can't shake the feeling that something horrible is going to happen.' I think before sleep consumes me.

-----------------line break---------------

~2 hours later~

I'm suddenly woken up by a loud explosion. Alarmed, I get out of my sleeping bag and rush out of my tent to see a large smoke plume in the distance. I also notice that everyone is wide awake and staring out at where the explosion had occurred.

"Oh my Harusame Soup!" Komatsu-san exclaims in shock.

"Everyone, pack up everything; we're leaving right now!" Toriko-san states looking at everyone.

"We're going to be having visitors real soon. The enemy is here." Toriko-san continues, looking ahead seriously.

"An......enemy?" Takimaru-kun whispers questioningly.

"I'm certain that it's someone who is trying to steal the soup. That explosion is definitely THEIR handiwork." Toriko-san replies, fists clenched in anger.

"Heh, welcome to the glacier continent, Ice Hell, Bishokukai." Toriko-san mutters, growling slightly.

We all quickly got to work packing all of our supplies, tents, and sleeping bags away. After everything was packed, we looked back to the dark smoke cloud for a moment.

"Alright everybody, we'd better head out now." Toriko-san says turning around.

As we're all just about to walk, we hear Komatsu-san mumble and stutter. We all look at him and see little Yun flapping his (is there even a gender?) wings around hopping around on his feet happily.

"What exactly am I supposed to do with my little companion here?" Komatsu-san stutters out looking rather nervous and slightly scared.

A light blush quickly finds its way to my cheeks as I look at the little Wall Penguin.

"C......cute!" I mumble as I begin to walk towards the adorable little pink ball of fluff. However, before I can even take three steps, someone grabs me from the back in my body suit preventing me from walking any farther. I look back slightly to see that it is Takimaru-kun's doing.

"No." Takimaru-kun states simply causing me to pout in response.

"If he wants to come with us, let him. Nothing's stopping him. Just be sure to watch over the little guy for his sake and for yours." Toriko-san says with a smirk-ish smile (is that even possible?).

"Now then, let's get going." Toriko-san says looking ahead.

"Okay, Yun? I need you to stay as close to me as possible and try to stay quiet for me okay?" Komatsu-san asks Yun.

"Yun yun Yun yunyun!" Yun says happily still flapping his wings around.

We all begin running to where the smoke plume is coming from; trying to get there as fast as possible. I run next to Komatsu-san since he is carrying Yun as he's running.

"Yeah, that's got to be it. The Century Soup is around here." Toriko-san says.

Komatsu-san and I gasp in surprise at this newfound information.

"The scent I smell just keeps on getting stronger and stronger; that's got to be it!" Toriko-san exclaims with a grin.

"How can you be so certain? There is no aurora to be seen." Takimaru-kun counters as he looks back at Toriko-san.

"The scent is almost similar to the one I smelled back at Granny Setsu's." Toriko-san replied.

Suddenly, an explosion comes from behind us. We all stop running and turn around in shock.

"T-They're not doing what I think they're doing.....right?" I say in shock.

"No! They're trying to destroy the entire Gourmet Show Window!" Toriko-san exclaims.

"What! B-but, what about the Century Soup?!" I shout.

"I'm sure it'll be fine Crystal-san." Komatsu-san assures me.

"Stay on your guard everyone! Something's coming this way!" Toriko-san yells.

We all suddenly hear a hissing noise and look to the smoke cloud, from which it's coming from.

Out from the smoke comes a dozen Jongal Stag Beetles (insect beast) Capture Level 38.

"Komatsu! Look out!" Toriko-san yells and runs over to Komatsu-san and takes the hit from the Beetle instead.

They start attacking everyone; they are so fast that we don't have time to dodge them.

"Kya!" I yell as I get hit on the arms; slash marks appearing everywhere on my arms.

"Grrraaah! Stop hurting my men!" Match-san yells as he goes and tries to slash at them. However, they are too fast and dodge the attack easily.

As we keep on trying to block the attack, Toriko-san tries to use his Flying Knife attack on them, but they are far too fast and dodge his attack and hit him in the stomach.

We're blocking the best we can, but they just keep coming. Relentlessly attacking us all.

"I don't know how much longer I can keep this up..." I think as I try to block more incoming attacks.

"Flying Fork!" I hear Toriko-san yell as he continues to try and hit the insects, but to no avail.

One of the insects lands on him and drains some of his energy. He swats it away and throws his fist back.

"7 Ren.......Kugi Punch!" Toriko-san shouts and manages to hit the insect. It gets knocked back seven times before disintegrating.

"Everyone! Whatever you do, don't let them land on you!" Toriko-san yells.

To be continued......

(There will be two different ending coming up. A bad ending followed up by a happy ending. :3 )
