Preview
We are finally in the Hunter Exam and met new people. We meet a man named Tonpa who know anything he can. We also meet someone else with white hair and blue eyes. We don't know his name, but I can't wait to find out. We were task to keep up with the proctor but something went wrong with Leorio. He felt very weak and now Tonpa carried Leorio to fork on the right, that has the sweet smell. Instead of going ahead, Kurapika, Gon, and I decided to run to Leorio and Tonpa to check it out.
Now
We kept on running to Leorio and Tonpa to see Tonpa alone and flat on the ground.
"Tonpa-san?" I said as we run up to him.
"Tonpa-san! What happened?!" Said Gon. Tonpa looked at us breathing heavy.
"I-It's bad... Hurry." Said Tonpa. "You must hurry to them."
"What happened inside?!" Said Kurapika.
"I've never seen such a trap. Hurry!" Said Tonpa.
"Leorio!" I said running in the tunnel.
"Hana, wait for us!" Said Gon. I can hear them running behind me. We kept running and running until we saw Nicolas on his back eyes wide, saliva going down his mouth, and tears going down.
"Nicolas?" I said running to him.
"What's the matter? What happened to you?!" Said Gon. He rolled over and we can see his shoulders shaking up and down. He looked at us while laughing.
"Nicolas-san..." Said Gon. He stand up walking out of the tunnel still laughing and looking like he was dead. We looked at Kurapika and he looked at us.
"Let's hurry. We must find Leorio!" Said Kurapika. We nodded our heads. We kept on running and running.
"Leorio!" Said Gon.
"Answer us!" I said. "Leorio!" All of a sudden I heard a gasp and looked to see Kurapika stopping. "Kurapika?" His eyes were wide and started to lose focus. He brought up his two weapons crossing them.
"The phantom Troupe..." Said Kurapika.
"What?" Said Gon.
"Kurapika?" I said looking at him worried. He closed his shaking and then opened them to see red.
"Stop it!" Said Kurapika. "Please stop!" Kurapika sit down on the ground looking down.
"Kurapika?!" I bend down looking at him.
"Kurapika, can you hear me?!" I said. I can tell he was remembering something.
"Kurapika!" Said Gon. I rubbed his back, but he lay down on the ground looking to the side. His eyes were red and small. "What's happening?"
"Stop. Stop..." Said Kurapika.
"Kurapika." I said. I looked at Gon to see him worried too.
"Move Hana." Said Gon. I moved out of the way to see him put Kurapika over his shoulder. "I'll carry Kurapika. We have to fine Leorio fast." I nodded my head as we walked forward going deeper into the tunnel.
"Kurapika, please hang on." I said watching Kurapika over my brothers shoulder. 'Leorio, you too. Hang on, we're coming.' Suddenly Kurapika gasped starting to get raged trying to grab something.
"Kurapika!" Said Gon. "Kurapika..." Gon released Kurapika from his shoulder making him fall on the floor. I ran to Kurapika thinking this is getting us no where.
"Kurapika..." I said closing my eyes. I opened them to look at him. "I'm sorry." I was going to rise my foot when I heard wheels on the ground and someone's hand on my arm pulling me away and kicking Kurapika on the face. I looked to see who grabbed my arm to see the boy with white hair and blue eyes. He looked down at me.
"I see you had the same idea too." Said the boy. He let go of my arm as I looked at Kurapika. I ran over to Kurapika to see his eyes blue and focus again.
"Kurapika!" I said smiling.
"Hana... Gon..." Said Kurpaika.
"I'm glad you finally snapped out of it." Said Gon. I turned to look at the boy staring at me and Gon.
"Umm..." I said.
"There's no such tree like 'the healing cedar.'" Said the boy.
"Huh?!"
"This is the sap of the Illusion Tree that assassins have been using for a long time." Said the boy. "It shows the illusion of the past that a person dreads most. And destroys his mind..."
"You seem to know a lot about assassins." I said.
"And pretty knowledgeable." Said Gon.
"Then Tonpa..." Said Kurapika. The boy looked at us from the looking at the tree.
"He tricked you..." Said the boy. I looked at Kurapika to see him mad.
"Even so... we have to go!" I said. Gon nodded his head in agreement.
"There is a way..." Said the boy. "To save that old man and catch up to the leaders in one shot." Kurapika stand up as we turned completely to the boy. "A game that's too easy isn't fun."
"I'm glad that we met again." Said Gon.
"Will you tell us your name?" I said with a smile. The boy turned to us with a kind smile.
"Killua." My heart started beating from seeing his smile. I touched my chest.
'Huh?' I shook my head left and right and the fast beating on my heart stops. I smiled at the boy.
"Killua..." I said. "Nice name."
"Killua, what shall we do?" Said Gon. He grabbed something from his pocket to show us something small.
"It's a bomb. Quite a powerful one." Said Killua.
"A bomb?!" Killua's eyes were wide to hear us speak together but compose himself.
"We'll blow-up... this disgusting sap-covered wall!" Said Killua. I looked up at Killua.
"What?" We all said except Killua. I looked at Killua to see him very confidient about this bomb.
'If it means saving Leorio, then fine.' I thought. I looked at Killua to see him look at me and I nodded my head. Killua threw one of the bombs and we found Leorio on the other side. Gon grabbed and moved from the bomb. I did a flip to land perfectly on my feet standing up while Gon was on the floor same as Leorio, and Kurapika and Killua on one foot and one knee on the ground. I turned to Leorio to see him awake.
"That sure was quick... but rough." Said Kurapika. "We can't turn back now."
"That's for sure." I said sighing.
"O-Oww!" Said Leorio sit up. I walked over to Gon siting down with a smile on my face. "Gon! Hana! Kurapika! P-Pietro?"
"The smell of the sap in the wall made you hallucinate." Said Kurapika. "You were tricked by Tonpa."
"A hallucination!" Said Leorio. "I guess I was saved in the nick of time. But it didn't affect you guys?"
"I almost got into trouble..." Said Kurapika. I smiled looking at Leorio.
"We were fine." Said Gon.
"That trap wouldn't work on you two, Gon, Hana!" Said Leorio.
"Hey, old man. There's no time for chattering." Said Killua.
"Old man?!" Said Leorio finally recognizing Killua was here. "Hey, you're...!"
"His name is Killua."
"Let's get going." Said Killua. Killua grabbed three bombs and made a 'click' sound. We turned around and covered our ears except Leorio.
"Click? Could that be..." Said Leorio watching the bombs that Killua threw. "a bomb?!" The bombs opened another passage to the other candiates wanting to come a hunter. We jumped up as Gon and I landed on the ground. I was on my feet while Gon was on the ground with his hands and knees.
"What is going on?" Said Satotz. Gon and I laughed a little.
"Sorry, we broke the wall." Said Gon.
"I never said that you couldn't destroy the wall." Said Satotz. "You came back alive after wandering into the Tunnel of Hallucination. I'm very impressed." I help Gon stand up as we looked at our little group; Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio. Leorio turned to look at Tonpa.
"How dare you!" Said Leorio grabbing Tonpa's shirt in a fist. "I will never forgive you!" I walked up to Leorio and put my hand on his fist that was grabbing Tonpa's shirt.
"Stop it, Leorio. It's not worth it." I said.
"Shut up!" Said Leorio looking at me. "Hana, doesn't he piss you off?" I shook my head left and right.
"I have to agree that what he did was something unforgivable, but..." I said looking at Tonpa but then looked at Leorio. "If you do this you are no better than he is." Leorio's eyes were wide as I said that.
"There are always obstacles in the test." Said Kurapika. I removed my hand from Leorio's and walked to Gon. Leorio let go of Tonpa shirt and turned to me.
"Your right, Hana." Said Leorio. I smiled at him. Satotz started to walk forward and we began to run again. Gon, Killua, and I were in the front. Killua was in the middle of Gon and I. I turned to Killua smiling.
"Thank you, Killua." I said.
"I didn't mean to help you." Said Killua.
"Huh?" Said Gon.
"I told you. This is a game..." Said Killua.
"You still help us even if it is a game." I said looking at Killua from the corner of my eye to see him shocked.
"Well, everyone. We're about to make the last dash." Said Satotz. "I'm going to pick up speed." The whole final group was screaming 'Eh?' Leorio and Kurapika was running in the very back and Leorio wasn't wearing a shirt but he was wearing his tie.
"The exit." Said Gon.
"Finally." I said smiling.
"You two look happy." Said Killua. I looked at Killua.
"Killua, aren't you happy?" Said Gon.
"Not really. It's only an exit." Said Killua. "What a boring test it is! It's not even a game."
"But if you pass, you can become a Hunter." I said looking at the exit.
"Why are you two so eager about becoming a Hunter?" Said Killua.
"Our dad is a Hunter."
"I bet he's a great Hunter." Said Gon.
"Even though we never see him. Still, even I bet he's a great Hunter" I said.
"You bet?" Said Killua. We nodded our heads.
"We were raised at our aunt's house." Said Gon. "We only know our dad from a photo."
"But it's okay! We want to be a Hunter like our dad." I said speeding up for them to behind me.
"Hana!" Said Gon. I turned to Gon with a smile.
"You are too slow, Onii-san!" I said looking ahead.
"But I have another reason why I want to become a Hunter." Said Gon. Killua looked at Gon.
"And what would that be?" Said Killua.
"To protect my sister and her smile." Said Gon running up to Hana. I looked to see Gon running next me with a smile on his face and Killua on my left. I looked at his skateboard.
"Say that thing..." I said pointing at his skateboard. Killua turned to look at me. "Will you let me use it sometime?"
"Same here." Said Gon. "No?"
"If you let me use that fishing rod...Gon. And you let me use that sword of yours... Hana." Said Killua. My eyes were wide as I was thinking how he knew I had a sword. We were finally out to be welcome with light, trees, and animal sounds.
"Wow..." Said Gon.
"It's the Milsy Watlands." Said Satotz. "Also known as the 'Swindler's Swamp.' We must go through this in order to reach the site of Phase Two." We heard the crows flapping their wings and calling to each other. "Many strange animals are unique to this match. Then try to deceive people and turn them into fodder. They are very cunning and greedy creatures." The door behind us was slowly closing.
"H-Hey... wait!" Said one of the men behind the door.
"You must follow me very carefully." Said Satotz. "If you get tricked, you die."
"Now that's funny thing to say." Said Leorio. "We won't fall for their tricks if we know they're out to trick us."
"It's a lie! He's a fraud!" We looked to see a person talking holding something and is all scratched up and bleeding. The man was pointing at Satotz. "He's a fraud! He isn't the proctor! I am the real proctor!" We looked at Satotz.
"A fraud? What does that mean?!" Said Leorio.
"Then who the hell is standing there?" Said the bald guy. I looked between Satotz and the man that calls him fraud.
'Oh boy.'
