True Blue (Toriko Insert X OC)

Chapter Thirty Three ~ The Title

(A/N: I had nothing else for the title)

~Ao~

Joa was the first to attack but i split it in two still the attack was powerful enough to keep travelling splitting the ocean"It seems i've greatly underestimated you, perhaps you surpassed Ichiryuu a long time ago"Joa said again i could feel him trying to intimidate me, this was far stronger then the fakes but i didn't back down and kept my guard up.

"Who can say really? I haven't been pushed to my limits yet"i said shrugging a bit "Then allow me to be the first"Joa said, with that our fight began, i ripped off the ridiculous cloak he was wearing revealing a very feminine face, i know who this face belonged to but i knew her and this person were different.

"Your fake said you wanted Acacia but i get the feeling that's not true, so what is it you're after?"i asked as we were fighting "I want a certain chef"Joa said, i knew who he meant "Him huh? You're wasting your time with that one, it's true he has remarkable food luck but he's a naive fool"i said "That might be true but what we want, what we need is that food luck and i've never seen someone have as much of it as him"Joa said.

It was kinda funny we were having a casual chat while fighting, anyway "That's interesting, that just proves you're a different person, you might resemble Froche but from everything papa told me about her, you're nothing like that person"i said, Joa chuckled a bit "Indeed i am not Froche yet at the same time i am it's weird even to myself"he said.

Just then i jumped back as Starjun came flying in holding Komatsu, him and Joa chatted a bit but i ignored it as i snuck behind Joa and ran my sword through him just as the sky darkened and meteors started raining down, these weren't ordinary meteors however and i grew a bad feeling in the pit of my gut.

This was no time to focus on it as Joa attacked me in retaliation, i jumped back dodging it and landing back on the ground "Ao"uncle Jiro went to say "I know, i don't know all the details but i can just tell"i said biting my lip i let a tear fall as what uncle Jiro said next confirmed what i was feeling "This attack means that Ichiryuu, is dead"he said.

I took a deep breath calming down "This isn't the time to cry or to get distracted you two have your own fight"i said and pointed over to Teppei "Just leave that impostor to me"i said pointing at Joa "Do you believe you can beat her?"aunty Setsu asked "Honestly no, i'll be damned if i don't give it a shot though"i said "Alright then good luck"uncle Jiro said, i nodded and got back into the fight with Joa as he landed.

"I believe we've been playing around enough"Joa said at one point and pushed me off, i fell to the ground creating a crater, Joa dive bombed pinning me, putting a  knife at my throat Joa was ready to finish me off but backed off as Zebra came in and made her back off, i hopped up and went after Joa but he escaped just in time.

"Damn"i muttered, watching Joa gather the NEO members and disappear, i sighed a bit and let myself collapse but Zebra caught me "You could of finished her with that"he said "I know i just don't like using that, anyway i'm kinda glad it didn't come down to that"i said.

Zebra picked me up holding me bridal style, i looked around we all had lost today, NEO and Gourmet Corp had disappeared, i sighed a bit, i knew what i needed to do "Zebra let's go, i'll be needed at head quarters"i said leaning on him "Yeah"he nodded putting me on his back, i fell asleep as he carried me.

~Zebra~

I picked up Sunny and got Coco while i was at it, i dragged those two while carrying Ao out of the destroyed stadium, i spotted something on the beach, Shiro, i was surprised to see the White Dragon but walking over to the thing he lowered his head his intent clear, i put Ao, Coco and Sunny on his back before getting on myself, with that i went to find Toriko.

Picking him up Shiro flew us to the headquarters, there Coco and Sunny got treated, Toriko was other wise fine he just could move, Ao was treated too, "Zebra just what happened in the stadium?"Mansam asked, i glanced at him staying at Ao's side, i then explained what happened.

~Ao~

I groaned a bit waking up "Ao!"i heard rubbing my eyes i looked around, there was Zebra and chief Mansam "I gather Zebra told you what happened?"i asked, Mansam nodded i sighed a bit "I had a feeling there were moles in IGO i'm kinda glad it was only two in the top brass, anyway Mansam you'll be taking over but remember i'm still the highest authority"i said.

"Just like that? Ao you've been out of it for three days, don't you have any question?!"Mansam yelled "Please don't yell my head is pounding like crazy"i said rubbing my head "Sorry miss"he said bowing in apology "I assume you've at least averted chaos by distributing what we had stored?"i asked, he nodded "Yes and we're already working on something for when the food runs out"he said.

I nodded getting out of bed "Good, i'll be going home then i leave the rest to you Mansam"i said walking off not bothering to hear his stupid joke, Zebra followed behind me, getting out i got a ride home, once home i checked on my garden which had luckily escaped the meteor spice with this i'm sure at least Zebra and i will be able to make it.
