TonTon awoke from his bed and began his usual routine. Today seemed to be a happy day, the sun was shining bright, everything seemed relaxed. TonTon felt great, there were no traces of his wounds and he managed to replenish his rare blood. Although he had recently been through an intense battle, he was ready for more.

"It's like an intriguing puzzle. You know there's more to come." TonTon said to himself as he exited his fair city.

TonTon searched the nearby forest for any hints or clues to where his adventure could take him next. He was particularly excited to meet Puppy again. The dog was a wise one and obviously cared for TonTon's health. TonTon's cloudy thought faded as he saw a figure in the distance.

It seemed to be a girl with some features of a wolf. She certainly had the ears as TonTon could see them a mile away. TonTon's smile slowly turned into a slight cringe at the sight.

"Not really fond of those types of critters." He said.

But, his eyes caught something about her. He began to walk up to where she was standing around. It took him a little bit, but he managed to make it up the short hill she was on. Once he was within walking distance, TonTon engaged the girl on conversation.

"Hello there miss. May I ask your name?" TonTon asked.

"My name's Pickle." The lady responded.

TonTon held back a laugh but still couldn't manage to muffle a giggle. Pickle picked up on it with her keen ears and began to frown at TonTon. Noticing her disappointment, he quickly regained his composure.

"And what are you laughing about?" Pickle said with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Oh nothing, nothing. It's just a bit odd to have Pickle as your name. But that's not the matter I wanted to attend to." TonTon explained.

"Then what is it?" Pickle said annoyed.

"I saw flesh in your pocket. Are you by chance a . . . Cannibal?!" TonTon asked with a bubble blowing pipe in his mouth.

"Yes, yes I am." Pickle declared.

"Well, I hate to do this but . . . I command thee to either have a change of diet or face purification." TonTon announced.

"Uhh, no thank you." Pickle said.

She got no response other than TonTon unsheathing a sword made of carrots. She looked a bit dumbfounded, but still annoyed.

"You've got to be kidding me." She said as she snatched TonTon's sword and bent it.

"Fine then. I wasn't a fan of pickles anyways." TonTon said as he conjured ice and blasted Pickle.

Pickle retaliated with her sharp nails and left a mark on TonTon's cheek. He blew a gust of wind at her, making leaves hit her face, and get into her eyes. Pickle was then furious and actually bit TonTon's arm, but he then heated it with his fire Magic and scorched Pickle's mouth. Both fell back onto the grass, one clutching a scorched mouth and the other holding their arm in pain.

TonTon recovered first and was shortly standing over Pickle with his carrot sword unbent after straightening it. Pickle's mouth was still smoking but she wasn't ready to give up yet. She jumped up a little and actually held onto TonTon's carrot sword.
After a short game of tug of war, Pickle ended up with the sword and shortly ate it. TonTon looked at her with slight disgust in his face.

Pickle tried to lunge at TonTon, but he blocked her with his famous ego shield. He then used the earth to form restraints and bounded her to the ground. He then concentrated deeply and formed all of his element into one and began to shoot it straight at Pickle.

Pickle closed her eyes tight, but after a moment she opened one and then the other. The blast fell short and rocks and water went flying. The flames leftover died out within seconds as well. Pickle looked up confused at her defeater.

"Ready to change? It would just be a shame to kill you in cold blood." TonTon said with a complete straight face.

"E-er. Okay, fine." Pickle said and was shortly released. Afterwards she went on her way farther into the woods.

TonTon began on his way back home. His mission was accomplished. His straight face slowly creeped into a big smile as he walked along the path he had came from.

"That's two down. Who knows how many are next, but one thing's for sure. I'm changing this world." TonTon said.
