Mathew stood in his kitchen and looked at his options. He had to make a choice! He closed his eyes, smelled the ingredients and grabbed the scents he liked the best and put them together in front of him. as he opened his eyes he had grabbed Spicy bun bread, milk cave butter, a Ketchuptopus, mineral cheese, neo tomatoes, almond cabbage and devil crocodile meat. Mathew nodded, sliced open the bun, smeared the butter on both halves, placed the mineral cheese on both sides, splashed some ketchup from the ketchuptopus on both slices, placed a leaf of almond cabbage on the ketchup, placed a slice of neo tomato on the cabbage and put a thick slice of devil crocodile meat in between, before slapping the burger closed.

Mathew nodded and made twelve more of these burgers, filling thirteen glasses with cattle pig fowl milk, while also having ten bowls of said milk’s porridge. This would be a nice breakfast; healthy, tasty and filling. Mathew had discovered early on that his gourmet cells liked food best when it was fresh. And with him having bought some new gourmet cases, he could keep several ingredients as fresh as possible.

Blitz woke up as it was time for breakfast and got his share as well. as Mathew continued procuring more and more fresh ingredients, as well as high class, Blitz continued to grow bigger, longer, wider and stronger. Mathew had already let the little shadow dragon take on some creatures and it had already managed to take down a capture level 15. Mathew gave his thanks and started to eat. Tenshi was already up, having a sandwich of his own, along with some tea, while he checked out some data on his laptop.

Mathew gorged himself on the large meal. As he finished, he saw the worried look on his friend’s face. he nodded, ‘okay Tenshi, out with it. what’s wrong pal?’ Tenshi looked up and replied, ‘well, I just hacked into some satellites and some secure IGO sites and have discovered the gourmet Corp is busy again. actually, they’ve just made a rather large move. they captured quite some puffer whales, raided several IGO biotopes, stealing food and anything getting in their way was wiped out.’ Mathew nodded, had his last sip of milk, swallowed and replied, ‘those donut holes really know how to spoil my breakfast with just new about them being active. But knowing what they’ve done in the past, I know they’re not satisfied with the way things are now. What’s their next move?’

Tenshi looked up some more data and smiled, ‘hah, like feeding candy to a baby. Toriko and chef Komatsu are on their way to Biotope 1, while Sunny seems to already be there. And the biggest price to get there, literally; regal mammoth. And inside that beast; Jewel meat! And according to the photos I’ve taken with some satellites, the gourmet Corp’s send out three of their new GT robots to get it.’ Mathew nodded, ‘good to know. But with two of the heavenly kings there, I’m pretty sure everything will be fine.’

Tenshi nodded, ‘true, but it seems that biotope 1 isn’t the only place that holds a regal mammoth. There’s a couple located in the savage lands. And according to another photo, another GT robot of the gourmet Corp’s headed there, on its own.’ Mathew nodded, ‘I had been planning to go to the savage lands again to do some severe training. And now I have an extra mission added to it; getting me some jewel meat. I think it would go well on the sandwich I’m planning to make for my hors d’oeuvre course.’ Mathew stood up, cleared the table and walked outside. Blitz followed him. he was now three meter long and had a wing span of about eight meter. Mathew stepped onto his back and the dragon ran forward before jumping into the sky and taking flight. Mathew directed him in the right direction and Blitz picked up speed, flying toward the savage lands.

the savage lands lay close to battle island. And sometimes the battle intoxicated beasts would come from their island to the savage lands, where they would continue to fight. Some of the spores of the battle flowers had made it there as well. and with a regal mammoth living there, that was bad news. Mathew just hoped the two mammoths Tenshi had mentioned would stay away from the place where those flowers were.

{ 3 hours later}

Blitz landed on a mountain and Mathew stepped of his back. Blitz seemed slightly exhausted, never having flown for so long while carrying someone. Mathew patted him on the flank of his neck, ‘good work boy. Let’s find you some food.’ As the descended from the mountain, they found some crystal skull sugar cubes, capture level 4. Mathew picked them up and gave them to Blitz, who thankfully munched down on them. as they reached a small waterfall, they both had something to drink. Mathew smelled the air and felt the earth tremble slightly. As he looked down the edge of the five kilometer high mountain, he saw a gigantic creature stomping around. Mathew grinned; he had found his prey. Only two creatures were that massive, the regal mammoth and the magma tortoise. And the latter lived near honey prison and only came out during the monster season. So that kilometer long 1.5 kilometer tall beast had to be the regal mammoth!

Mathew started running down, stretched out his claws when he heard something coming at him from behind. As he turned to look, he saw a group of rhinodillos coming at him, capture level 25. Mathew turned around, it looked like he would be getting some extras on this hunt!

Blitz flew by them, spinning and slamming them with his tail, knocking them on their sides. Mathew turned around as they fell and tumbled toward him, pulling back both arms, before hitting each of them on a weak spot on their armor with a 3 spin drill punch. As there were ten of them, he had thrown fifteen with each arm. Mathew nodded, ‘okay Blitz, you be good and watch over our prey, perhaps gather something extra. I’m going down there to the mammoth; who knows what I’ll run into there.

as Mathew continued his descend, he started to see the regal mammoth better and better. As he got closer he realized just how massive it was, especially compared to a man like him. as he reached the foot of the mountain, he also stood at the foot of the regal mammoth, who was busy playing vacuum cleaner, eating the beasts with his left trunk, sucking them in, stripping them of skin, meat, organ and muscles, blowing the bones out with the right trunk. Mathew was slightly shocked to see that this beast sucked up a capture level 35 beast so easily, while the mammoth itself had to be around 45 to 50 in capture level. true, that was ten or more levels difference, but still; 35 was dangerously high as well.

Mathew smelled the air, many ingredients, lots of meat, as well as plants. But that metal scent didn’t belong here. Mathew looked to his left and saw a GT robot. It seemed to look like a birdman creature. It had red fur, a beak with black spikes up top and on the bottom. The hands and bird feet had claws on them. Mathew turned to the GT robot, ‘so, guessing you’re from the gourmet corp.’ the robot turned its head to look at Mathew, before a female voice replied, ‘that is unexpected. A random hunter coming by, on such dangerous grounds. My mentor told me that everyone would be to busy in biotope 1 to notice me hunting some jewel meat here.’

Mathew nodded and walked toward the GT, ‘well guess again. I have some contacts who told me of this place, as well as of you, coming here in your GT robot. Usually introductions come first. So, let’s say ladies go first this time.’ A giggle came from the robot, ‘oh how nice and gentlemanly of you. my name is Mina, vice chef’s aid, student under vice chef Menace.’ Mathew nodded, ‘I’m Mathew, known as the predator. Whether it’s nice to meet you or not remains to be seen.’

Mina chuckled again, ‘well that’s an easy one to answer. A handsome man like you, you already have me drooling. How about after this hunt you and I go out for dinner.’ Mathew stood dumbfounded for a moment, before mina hit him in his stomach with a mixer punch. Mathew stood his ground, fought through the pain and pulled back his right arm, ‘you should know, I have a rule about hitting women.’ Mina nodded, ‘you don’t, do you?!’ Mathew shrugged, ‘no, not necessarily. I only hit them if they hit me first. And since you’re in a robot body, I won’t pull my punches! I just hope your pressure sense limits are off. 7 spin drill punch!’

Mathew struck the robot and send it spinning and flying backwards, hitting one of the mammoth’s legs before falling to the ground. Mina chuckled, ‘you actually hit women! You hit me!! you’re not the gentleman I thought you were. And as you won’t pull your punches, neither will I!’ the GT robot ran forward and the beak opened up, shooting a laser straight at Mathew. the latter stepped back, pulled back his left hand, initiated his dragon fang and lunched a piercing strike into the blast, scattering the attack away from and around himself.

but as the laser ended, Mina had reached him, kicked his left arm aside with a right kick and kicked him in the head with her left leg. Mathew slammed against the ground, rolled over, jumped back up to his feet and noticed there wasn’t even a dent in the robot from his last punch. He wasn’t pulling his punches; this model was quite capable and durable. This meant he needed to increase his strength. Beast mode wouldn’t do it though, that only doubled his strength. He needed more than that.

Mina turned to him and lunched three fast mixer punches. Mathew blocked all of them, but then Mina opened the beak of her robot again, shooting the laser at him again. Mathew narrowly avoided the blast. But as he did, Mina slashed at him, using the robot’s human peeler technique. Mathew jumped back, both those peeler attacks also worked on long range. Mathew got some slashes on his body and his suit got torn. These small wounds didn’t really hurt, he could easily tune those small cuts out like bad background noise.

similar to his beast mode, which was unlocked through a nerve near the stomach, Mathew had another ability; strength mode. With this, he unlocked the brain’s restraints on the muscles. With that, he’d go from 20% of strength to 100%, making him five times stronger. but the downside was, it consumed lots of calories and it would tear his body apart. He needed to throw a few more punches at mina, to make her feel sure of herself that she could handle him.

he ran at her, through the barrage of peeler shots, reached her and hit her with a 5 spin drill punch, launching her into the side of the mountain. As she crawled out the rubble, Mathew had reached her, hitting her with another 5 spin drill punch. Both of these attacks had done no real damage and Mina had gone from giggle to chuckle to laughter. Her robot continued to function normally.

she opened the beak of her robot again and shot the laser, but this time combined it with her peeler shot, cutting the laser to bits, strengthening her slashes. Mathew was hit and this time the attacks did hurt. Mina rushed him again and hit him with four mixer punches. But during the second punch, Mathew unlocked the restraints on the muscles in his brain. He’d better make this next punch count. During the third punch he had reached seven and after the fourth punch he had reached ten.

he stepped back, than back forward; ‘10 spin drill punch!’ Mina, confident as she was her robot could take it, was surprised. Not that Mathew had upped the number, but that he actually punched through the entire robot. As the machine was send flying, the insides were send to spin as well, ripping the robot apart from the inside out. Mathew’s right arm had dropped to his side. He wouldn’t be able to use it for quite some time. Mathew reengaged the restrains on his muscles and followed the regal mammoth, who had ignored the two fighting creatures.

Mathew reached the rear end of the mammoth, jumped up the leg and climbed up, using his claws. it took him half an hour to reach the top of the beast. Had he been able to use both his arms, he could’ve climbed faster. He started running toward the head of the mammoth, knowing that the mouth was a risky place to go in, but he would rather go through the mouth than through the mammoth’s butt. He was sure Sunny would agree.

the run toward the head was finished in five minutes. Mathew went through his knees, activated his beast mode and felt his animalistic healing kick in. his right arm came back, though still weak. Mathew ran down, hooking his claws into a trunk. As the mammoth roared and swung its trunks, Mathew jumped off, launching himself into the mammoth’s mouth, rolling over the tongue before running into the mammoth’s throat.

as Mathew reached the first stomach, he knew his search had begun. Mathew stopped his beast mode, stood up again and felt his right arm go numb. Using both in the same day, he was rather pushing it with this hunt. He had burned through a lot of calories. Mathew smelled the air, following the scent of meat. And as he walked, he also walked by plants that had taken root inside the stomach and intestines. He plucked those plants and pulled the gourmet case out of his backpack and put them in, keeping them as fresh as possible.

as Mathew saw a light at the end of one of the tunnels and the smell of meat was getting stronger, his pace increased. Drool was leaking of his fangs as he came closer to that rich aroma. And as he turned the next corner, he saw it hanging by thick threads of meat, a large ball of meat, sparkling brighter than any other jewel, shining brighter than a lamp shining up the night sky. Mathew stepped up to it, enjoying the smell. It smelled of so many different forms of meat, while meat juice streamed over it. as he had entered the mammoth, the scent had been strong. But standing this close, seeing it shine, smelling the incredible aroma of the most perfect meat, his brain couldn’t stand it, he wanted this meat; NOW!

Mathew grew out the nails of his left claw and sliced of a small ribbon of meat. Holding it gently he brought it to his mouth, ‘I give my humble thanks, for the massive and incredible bounty this world provides. And now; let’s eat.’ It tasted like no other meat he had ever tasted. The best meat he had ever had was cattle pig fowl, which combined three meats into one; the tenderness of pork, the texture of beef and the richness of chicken, a true delicacy. But this, this jewel meat was even better than that!

as Mathew swallowed, it felt like a shock went through his body. All his wounds healed instantly and his right arm was back to full strength and ready for use. This meat was compatible with his gourmet cells. Mathew nodded, this meat would be part of the burger that would be his hors d’oeuvre course.

Mathew took another slice of meat, a bigger one this time. And where the first ribbon had been soft and chewy, this one was crunchy and juicy. It was absolutely delicious! Mathew than noticed his body had started to shine, as if his body had become a jewel. Mathew sliced the meat threads binding the jewel meat inside this stomach and followed the tracks he had left, making it back to the throat. He didn’t really want to do it, but he needed a way out! He lifted up his right hand, before bringing down a 10 spin drill punch in the stomach. The mammoth roared and squealed, before stomach gasses were pumped up, expelling all objects not needed in that stomach, including Mathew, who dragged along his gourmet case and the jewel meat.

as Mathew was vomited out, he whistled sharply. A white flash could be seen shooting from a mountain and in a few seconds, Mathew landed on the back of blitz, who carried him back to the mountain where their food was located. Blitz had caught some plants as well. Mathew gave Blitz some of the meat and the dragon started shining too. The two ate of Blitz’s catches and some more slices of the jewel meat, before heading back to Mathew’s house. Today had been a successful hunt.

Mathew knew he would have to watch out in future hunts. If more of those gourmet Corp idiots showed up in robots, he might just be forced to use both his beast and strength mode in the same hunt again. that was really draining him of his energy.

{that evening}

Mathew sat atop the golden duck restaurant in gourmet town. He had handed the meat over to the restaurant, who had paid Mathew handsomely for it and invited him to a meal as well. Mathew had tossed in the other ingredients he had found for free. Seto now served up the meat, sprinkled with the spices and plants Mathew had brought along. As he ate, Tenshi texted him that he had gained Intel that Toriko, Sunny and Coco had worked together and had obtained the jewel meat as well.

it was a good thing Seto was blind. Mathew was shining so brightly, people who would have watched him could’ve gone blind.
Mathew goes on a hunt to prevent the gourmet corp from getting their hands on an ingredient, encountering a GT robot along the way
