The Final Phase of the Exam has started and it started off with Hanzo and Gon, when the fight began Gon was easily temporarily subdued with a Karate chop to the back of the neck by Hanzo, but it didn't stop there, Gon refused to give in, no matter how many times he was punched and kicked, Ruma, Kurapika, and Leorio were just staring in anger as they saw there friend getting pummeled...
(Three Hours Later)
Gon was laying on the ground laying in dried blood and vomit
"3 whole hours, damn" Pokkle said in discomfort
"Look, he can't even vomit anymore" Bodoro said
"This is really painful to watch" Ponzu said
"Get up" Hanzo said to Gon
"ENOUGH ALREADY! I'M GONNA KILL YOU YOU HEAR ME! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!" Leorio yelled
"YEAH YOU JERK!" Ruma yelled
"If you don't like it then you two should leave, cause its only going to get worst" Hanzo said
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Leorio yelled walking forward only to be stopped by the referee
"No one is allowed to interfere in a one on one match, if you help Gon in anyway he will be immediately Disqualified" the Referee said
"Leorio, Ruma its okay" Gon called out slowly getting up to his feet
"Don't...Worry..I...Can still...fight him" Gon said weakly
Hanzo then quickly tripped him and then held his left arm behind his back
"I'll break your arm" Hanzo said leaving Gons friends shocked
"I'm not kidding...now say it...say that you surrender" Hanzo said in a impatient tone
"...NEVEEEEEEEER!" Gon yelled
"CRACK!"
Gon was now on the floor grunting in pain as he gripped his left arm
"He actually broke it" Pokkle said
"There, now you won't be able to use your left arm anymore" Hanzo
Leorio was just holding in his anger as he looked on clenching his fist tightly.
"Kurapika, Ruma, don't try to stop me..if that bastard does anything else, Gon will fail the Exam, Because I don't think I'll be able to control myself" Leorio said
"Me you think I'll try to stop you?...Don't worry theirs no chance of that, how about you Ruma?" Kurapika said as his eyes flashed red
Ruma didn't say anything but instead just continued looking on with anger in her eyes with her hand behind her as she gripped her Bo Staff tightly.
" I know that you must be in alot of pain to listen but Let me put something into perspective for you" Hanzo said to Gon as he started to stand on just one finger
"I'm a descendant of clandestine group known as the shinobi, from the day I was Born I've subjected to intensive training for the past 18 years to Hone my skills...by the time I was your age I have already killed...At this point in time you have no hope in defeating me in combat, I'm being nice..so just admit defeat" Hanzo said
(POW)
Hanzo was then struck by a surprise attack by Gon with swift Kick to his face causing him to fall down
"..Dammit...Between the pain and your babbling I don't know what cleared my head up more" Gon said
"WOOHOO GO GON!" Ruma yelled
"YEAH THATTA BOY NOW KICK HIM WHILE HIS DOWN!" Leorio yelled
"Besides if your 18 that only makes you 6 years older than me, and also this isn't about whose stronger its to see who is willing to throw in the towel first." Gon said
Hanzo then got up wiping the blood from his nose
"The Only reason you got to hit me is because I let you" Hanzo said
"YOUR A LIAR!" Leorio said
Hanzo then wiped the blood from his nose
"you must be confused, that was not a warning, it was a direct order, was it to hard for you to understand, i'm quite happy to break it down for you?" Hanzo said as a long blade came out of Hanzos bandages on his forearm.
"I'll cut off your legs in a way that can't be reatched..a Permanent injury such as that should open up your eyes on the situation, but before I resort to something like that I want to hear you surrender" Hanzo said
...Well thats a Problem" Gon said
Everyone was then all Dumbstruck
"I don't want to have my legs cut off but I don't want to surrender either, How about we find another way to fight" Gons aid
"WHAT THE HELL!? HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!?" Hanzo screamed
Ruma quickly covered her mouth with both of her hands as she tried to hold in her laugh.
ARE YOU REALLY MAING DEMANDS ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME I'M SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO CUT YOUR LEGS OFF!" Hanz o yelled
"You do what you want but I won't give up..and besides if you cut my legs off I'll probably bleed to death and you'll be disqaulified, which will be bad for the both of us so let think of another way" Gon said
Hanzo just stood there grunting.
"I think Gon will be fine he's in control now" Kurapika said
"He's just so damn stubborn" Leorio said
"But he's convincing to Hanzo and the rest of us, its impressive" Kurapika said
"That is one strange kid" Pokkle said dumbstruck
"More like crazy if you ask me although if he could go in headfirst into a bunch of snake I'm willing to bet he'll go on even if Hanzo goes through with that threat" Ponzu said
Hanzo then quickly then Pressed his blade up against gons head
"I see your not getting it, so i'll try again, Die and you don't get another chance, but if i kill you here All i have to do is come back next year, we are not on eqaul footing!" Hanzo said
Gon just looked at him with a calm face
"Come on think! Its just a couple of stupid words, Give up and you can try again next year, IS YOUR PRIDE TRULY ALL THAT YOU CARE ABOUT!? EVEN MORE THEN YOU LIFE!? IS IT WORTH FIGHTING FOR!?" Hanzo yelled
"...I'm gonna go see my dad" Gon said
"Your...Dad?" Hanzo said
"See my dad is Hunter so I'm going to become Hunter exactly like him and then I'll be able to meet him...I Know that I'll find him someday, but I feel like If i surrender now I'll never find him...so I won't give up" gon said
There was then a Long pause but then Hanzo slowly took the blade away from Gons forehead and retracted it back
" You win, I give up okay, I'll take my chances in the next round" Hanzo said leaving everyone surprised
".."I;m sorry but I can;t except that..No Fair! we both have to come up with someway that we can have a Proper Match" gon said
a Vein then popped on Hanzos Forhead
"YOU JSUT SAID THAT YOU'D NEVER SURRENDER SO WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THAT YOU IDIOT!? "Hanzo yelled
"THE POINT IS I DON'T WANT TO WIN LIKE THIS OKAY!?" Gon said
THAN WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST!?" Hanzo yelled
"LETS FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER OAKY!?" Gon yelled
"So In other words I've already given up the Match but you want me to continue fighting and try to beat you again right? but first we both have to come up with a way you can win so you can feel good about your victory, is that right? " Hanzo said
"Yeah" Gon said
"MOROOOOOOOON!" Hanzo yelled Uppercutting Gon knocking him Unconscious
"Referee I lose so move on to the next match" Hanzo said
"Understood sir" The ref said
"But I want to say something first, whenever he wakes up he'll probably decline his advancement as we've all seen he can be really stubborn, only one person fails this round so if Gon is disqualified, wouldn't that render the rest the fights completely meaningless? "Hanzo said
"Don't worry Gon has passed nothing he say or does will change that, no matter what he does he won't be able to revoke his licence " Netero said
"I see" Hanzo said walking back to his spot
"Why did you let him win?" Killua said
"What?" Hanzo said
"With your skills you could've found a way to make him surrender...somehow" Killua said
"I expect when I torture someone my victim will despise me for the rest of there life its less stressful that way, when your in ppain your eyes show i gleam of hostility towards the one responsible, that is really hard to surpress even with years of training, but Gons eyes had no such Gleam, I just broken his arm but I can tell that he completely forgotten about it, So I guess you can say he won me over, theres you answer" Hanzo said
Killua just looked on lost in thought. as Gon was carried away to the infirmary to get treated
"Next up Ponzu vs Ruma!" The Ref said
Ruma and Ponzu then slowly started to walk towards there position. Ponzu then gently put her hat down away from the arena so that the bees inside would not be disturbed
Ruma went and took out her Bo staff
"So? are you going to take out your weapon?" Ruma said
"I already have" Ponzu said as she took a fighting stance
"What? Where?" Ruma said as she put away her Bo Staff
"You'll have to find out" Ponzu said
"Oh, well okay then" Ruma said as she took a fighting stance
"GO RUMA!" Leorio yelled
"BEGIN!" The Ref yelled
Ruma then quickly ran towards Ponzu with her staff, she then quickly ducked underneath and then quickly the slammed her palm right into her right her leg as she felt a slight sting.
"Ow" Ruma said quickly as she quickly twirled her Bo Staff and hit Ponzu on her side as she winced in pain and staggered back
Ruma then twirled it back into position and then suddenly she started to feel a bit uneven, Ponzu was then on her knees as she held her side in pain, Ruma then started to run towards her and then as she started to come towards her again her vision then started to get disorientated she then stopped and stepped back as she noticed not one but two Ponzu, Ruma then quickly went to attack but when she did she noticed she didn't hit anything.
"What?" Ruma said
Suddenly she felt swift punch to her face knocking her back
"I see that the Hallucinogenic is working" Ponzu said
"What?" Ruma said
Ponzu then rolled up her sleeve to reveal some kind of arm strap attached to small injector with a small needle.
"What Injected you with is a potent Hallucinogenic made from a special flower from my village. Unfortunately its a one off move not only that it also doubles your sensitivity to pain receptors." Ponzu said
"WAIT THATS NOT FAIR! THATS CHEATING!" Leorio yelled
"I'm sorry Leorio but its not" Kurapika said
"What do you mean!?" Leorio yelled
"Its considered as a weapon, and Ponzu did address that she did have a weapon before they began the match, As much as I hate to say it she is still within the rules" Kurapika said
"Dammit" Leorio said
Ruma then went for another attack only to hit the air, Ponzu then went for a kick right in Rumas gut, then she added to it with a knee to the face. knocking Ruma down, Ruma then grabbed her nose in pain. She looked and noticed that her vision wasn't going back to normal.
"OWWWW!" Ruma screamed in pain
"How long does this last!?" ruma yelled
"It should last for few hours hours, Unless you have the antidote, I'll give it to you, if you decide to give up" Ponzu said
Ruma then slowly got up wobbling
"No" Ruma said
"Hmm well I guess I'm gonna have to try harder" Ponzu said as she punched her in the face again
Ruma the skid across the floor in pain, Ruma looked up and saw her running towards her again. Ruma couldn't tell where she was going to hit her so she started to block her face as Ran towards her forward buth rather then feeling something hitt her from the front she felt the pain coming from her back as ponzu kicked her.
"COME ON RUMA GET UP!" Pokkle yelled
Ruma then just got up but then felt another kick to her Gut she then started to feel her entire body was on fire.
"I can't fight like this...I can't take the pain..." Ruma said
"Ponzu then hit her again as Ruma was knocked on the floor.
"So do you give up yet?" Ponzu said
"I...No...I won't do it...if I won't be able to see her I gonna have to go with my instincts just like how Shuyo taught me." Ruma said getting up but this time with her eyes closed
Ruma then got up and then took a fighting stance
"I'm not giving up" Ruma said
Ponzu just sneered in annoyance she then went for her.
"Alright focus on hearing, Just like an animal in a dark forest." Ruma said as she started hear her footsteps
"Just go Down!" Ponzu yelled as she went for another punch
Ruma then felt the punch, and then another ignoring the intense pain
Now" Ruma said grabbing Ponzus arm and then punched Ponzu in the face. Ponzu then quickly staggered back surprised. Ruma then quickly jumped towards Ponzu head butting her in the stomach causing her to gasp. Ponzu then went for a punch which made contact but Ruma quickly grabbed it pulled her forward and then punched her in the face again, but this time she held onto and then punched her in the stomach as she gasped., Ruma then quickly tripped Ponzu as she fell Ruma kept hold of her arm with all her Strength. Ruma then looked eye to eye as best she could at Ponzu as her grip got tighter,
"NOW YOU GIVE UP!" Ruma yelled as she twisted her wrist hard
"AHHH!" OKAY OKAY I GIVE UP!" Ponzu yelled tapping the floor
Ruma then slumped to the ground
"The winner of this match is Ruma!" The Ref said
Ruma then layed down on the floor in pain,
"Here" Ponzu said as she helped her up, and dragged her out of the arena. she then went into her bag and got a small bottle
"Here drink this it''ll wear off the Drug" Ponzu said as she helped Ruma drink the small bottle
"Thank you" Ruma said
Ponzu then just smiled
"Sorry" Ponzu said
"its alright We all have our ways of fighting I won;t hold it against you" Ruma said
"Alright onto the next round" The Ref said
The fight then continued on, the next match was then between Kurapika and Hisoka After a long drawn out fight Hisoka then whispered something in his ear and then forfeited the match making Kurapika win automatically, Next was Pokkle vs Hanzo, Pokkle was easily subdued by Hanzo with an arm restraint after knocking him down with a swift and powerful kick to his injured leg much to Rumas disappointment seeing her friend lose the match. Next was Bodoro vs Hisoka which ended in Hisoka being the winner. Next was Killua and Pokkle but just before the match started Killua decided to forfeit claiming that he wasn't interested in fighting him so Pokkle won, The Next was then going to be between Leorio and Bodoro but Leorio decided to postpone his match with him and so the next match took place Killua vs Gittarackur.
"Begin" The Ref said
Killua then started to slowly walk towards him
"Its been a while Kil" Gittarackur said
Huh?" Killua said
Gittarackuer then started to remove the needles off of his face and as he did his face and Hair then started to change rapidly and as his face and hair finished changing Killuas eye widen in fear as he saw the fiigure in front of him
"Bi...Big Brother?" Killua said
"Wait Big brother?" Ruma said
"Those needles were used to change his appearnce" Kurapika said
"I heard you stabbed Mom and Milluki" Illumi said
"I guess so" Killua said
"Mom couldn;t stop crying" Illumi said
"Well who would blame her any mother would if there child did something like that" Leorio said
"She was so Happy" Illumi said
"Leorio then collapsed to the ground in confusion
"What?" Leorio said
"She was delighted to see that her son was starting to grow but she has had some concerns about you being on your own, so she asked me to keep an eye on you when i have the chance, I had no idea you wanted to be hunter, as for me I'm getting a license for a job thats coming up" Illumi said
"I didn't want to become a Hunter I jsut wanted to just take the Exam" Killua said
"I thats a relief..In that case I have some advise for you..you your not cut out to be a Hunter...You were born for one purpose to be an Assassin" Illumi said
Killuas eyes became a bit distraught after hearing what his brother said to him
"Your a Puppet of darkness devoid of passion there is nothing you desire noir is there anything you wish for as one who lives in the shadows the only pleasure your capable of is derived from causing death because thats how dad and I raised you, what do you imagine of accomplishing by becoming a Hunter?" Illumi said
"Its true I don;t want to become a Hunter, but everyone wants something Even me" Killua said
"You don't" Illumi said
Wrong there is something that I really want" Killua said
Hmm well then Enlighten me what is it that you want?" Illumi said
"I...want to be friends with Gon..and Ruma...I..I'm sick of killing People all the time...I want to have friends...and just have fun" Killua said
"Impossible. you are incapable of friendship the only thing that you can do is discern or not if you can kill them or not...if you stay with him... one day you'll end up wanting to kill him..you'll wonder if you can.. and you'll want to find out..because you are by nature...a Murderer" Illumi said
"HEY KILLUA I CAN CARELESS IF THIS GUYS YOUR BROTHER HES A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP SO DON;T LISTEN TO HIM JUST BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM LIKE USAUL AND WIN YOU WANT TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH GON AND RUMA!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY FRIENDS HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT!? AND GON AND RUMA SURE SEEMS TO THINK SO ANYWAY RIGHT RUMA?! "Leorio said
"OF COURSE I DO YOU BOTH ARE MY FRIENDS!" Ruma yelled
"Is that True?" Illumi said
"Of course it is Stupid!" Leorio yelled
"Oh no...thats not good...very well I guess I'll kill them" Illumi said
Leorio, Kurapika, and Pokkle then gasped
Assassins have no needs for friedns they'll just get in the way...I'll start with Gon first where Can I find him" Illumi said ready to walk out
"Wait Minute the Match is still... " The ref said before Illumi threw a couple needles into face making the Ref Strain in pain
"Where can I find him" Illumi said
"He's in the waiting room right over there" The ref said in a straining state
"Thank you" Illumi said walking towards the door only for it to be blocked by Kurapika and Hanzo, Illumi then turned towards Ruma which made her tense up only for Leorio and Pokkle to walk right in front of her.
"Oh what pain I need to get a Hunters License to do my job but If i kill them I'll be disqaulified...Oh wait, same will go if I kill Gon or Ruma...Oh wait I got it, I'll pass the Exam then kill them" Illumi said Making Killua bug eyed in fear
"You bastard" Leorio said
"If I get license and I'll be able to keep it even if I kill everyone in this room" Illumi said
"Well, Technically yes according to the rulebook" Netero said
"Do you hear that Kil? if you want to save your friends your going to have to beat me" Illumi said as he was walking towards Killua making him tense up even more.
"Do you think you can do it?...I think you already have the answer to that...remember the lessons that I have taught you never go up against a superior Opponent" Illumi said as he got close enough to him and started to stretch his hand towards Killuas head causing Killua stay put
"Don't move, if you do I'll assume the fight has begun the same goes if my hand gets into contact, but don;t forget if you decide you won;t fight me your friends will certainly die" Illumi said
"DON'T LISTEN TO HIM KILLUA JUST BEAT HIM UP! WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE CAN! HE WON'T GET NEAR GON OR RUMA!" Leorio yelled
Killua was just sweating and flinching as Illumis hand got closer to his face he then put his down and said..
"I give up...You win Illumi" Killua said
"Oh excellent no need to fight then huh?..haha..I lied i wasn't going to kill your friends, that was only a test to see what you were made of now I know for certain you are simply not qualified to make friends not that you need any...you'll keep doing what you've always done the job dad I trained you to do, I will order you to take the Hunter Exam when the time is right..but not now" Illumi said as he said close to Killuas ear.
Illumi then walked back to his position and Killua walked back as well
"Killua?...Are you okay?" Ruma said concerned
Killua just stood there with a blank expression.
Leorio and Kurapika tried to talk to him but to no avail as Killua just stood there. The next match then started between Leorio and Bodoro as things were starting to get underway Killua then quickly appeared behind Bodoro and then within a split second Killua Jabbed his hand right through Bodoros back killing him Shocking everyone in the room.
Killua just stayed there with blank eyes, The final phase quickly ended with the Exam Committee disqualifying Killua, Killua then just simply walked off of the arena, Ruma wanted to chase after him but she was stopped. The Discussion about Killuas action immediately went underway, with Ruma immediately blaming Illumi for it but with no evidence to back it up it was quickly brought down
it wasn't long until everyone was lead to the Initiation room were everyone was going to be officially stated as Hunter, Ruma didn't know what to feel she was Happy that she was able to get through the exam and become but on the other hand she couldn't help but feel bad for Killua for his disqualification. She couldn't help but glare at Illumi in anger as Netero was speaking.
Suddenly there was a huge crash as the main door was quickly opened revealing Gon with anger in his eyes and cast on his left arm. he then quickly walked down towards Illumi.
"Apologize to Killua" Gon said to Illumi
Illumi then turn towards him
"Apologize? for what?" Illumi said
"You mean you don;t know what you did wrong?" Gon said
"Nope" Illumi said
"Gon then clenched his fist in anger
"You are not qualified to be his big brother" Gon said
"I didn't know I had to be qualified" Illumi said turning away from Gon nonchalantely
Gon then Grabbed Illumis arm and then completely lifted him up out of his seat and up to his feet
"Friends don;t have to either, he gets to choose" Gon said as he tightened his grip on Illumi's arm to the point were there was a sickening crack of broken bone
"This boy..." Illumi said
"Don;t even bother apologizing just take to see Killua" Gon said
"And what will you do?' illumi said
"Its obvious I'm going to go see him, and bring him back" Gon said
"Its sounds like you think I kidnapped my little brother, he left by his own accord" illumi said
"No..you manipulated him thats the same as kidnapping" Gon said
"We've actually been discussing that situation just recently Leorio, Kurapika and Ruma were the ones to lodge complaints and the commitee has been reviewing the fairness of Killuas disqualification" Netero said
"We said it a thousand times! Killua wasn't himself when he killed Bodoro!" Ruma yelled angrily
Kurapika then got up
"You saw it yourself both during and since his match with the man called Gitterackur, Killua behaved strangely, I believe there is one reason Killua did what he did, he was hypnotized, its generally considered impossible to to use hypnosis to have someone do such a thing but Killua was raised by Assassins which meant that murder was common place, so it would be natural for him to show less restraint" Kurapika said
"Its also worth noting that the attack happened during my match with Bodoro, so its Possible Killua attended to help my cause, in other words if someone deserves to be disqualified it should be me" Leorio said
"That is nothing but pure speculation there is no concrete proof from what we saw there was no clear indication of Killua being ordered to commit murder, and regards to the hypnotism I have to question that as well, I will agree that Killua didn't act until the match between Bodoro and Leorio started but by that time both Bodoro and Leorio were evenly matched, Bodoro may have the better fighting experience, but it was clear that Leorio had a definite edge when it came to raw ability and combat, given that it was a fair fight, there was no need for Killua to interfere" Netero explained
"And speaking of weird things happening, why don;t we talk about your fight with hisoka, mind telling us what Hisoka said to you, neither of you looked tired But Hisoka whispered something to you then surrendered , weird right I'd understand if he whispered and you surrendered Like with Hanzo and me or Bodor and Hisoka we were under alot of pressure, instead the opposite happened which makes me wonder if the two of you struck a deal, if you wanna talk about things that don;t make sense then your victory would fit perfectly, if you got nothing to hide then why don;t you tell us?" Pokkle said
"I have No such obligation to tell you...you may find my victory suspect but i would say the same of victory by default" Kurapika said
What!?" Pokkle said in an angry tone getting up
"Is all this really necessary whats done is done" Ponzu said in an annoyed tone
"Yeah lets just get this overwith so we can go home" Hanzo said
"NOW LOOK HERE YOU TWO!" Leorio said
"Pleas lets stop all this yelling" Ruma said
"THIS IS COMPLETELY POINTLESS!" Gon yelled getting everyones attention
"Why argue whether somebody should've passed? if your not satisfied that you made it you can keep working on it till you are if Killua wants to retake the Hunter Exam then I know he'll pass, he didn't this time and it is what it is, but still if you've been forcing Killua to murder people against his own will this whole time...then I won't forgive you" Gon said to Illumi
"Won't forgive me? So what will you do" illumi said
"Nothing, but After I go rescue Killua I'll never let you see him again" Gon said
"hmm" Illumi said as he reached his other hand toward Gon, only for Gon to quickly jump back
"Al right Gentleman lets continue..Gon is right its up to each of you to decide whether you are worthy of your license, now your perfectly welcome complain about the results but our minds are made up, Killua has been disqaullifed from this years Hunters exam while the rest of you have passed" Netero said
Bean then Walked up front
"Now..I will continue with the orientation...Now the cards that we have passed down to each of you are your Hunter Licenses This Card will allow you to enter ninety percent of the countries that limit immigration as well as grant you access to seventy-five percent of restricted areas in the world, you may use nintey-five percent of public facilities at absolutely no cost and banks will treats you as if you are a top rated company you can sell it for enough money to last seven life time or you can keep it for a life of guaranteed comfort, and be very careful not to lose it you will not get a replacement...Your very first challenge as a Hunter to protect your card at all costs, from here on out it your show believe in yourselves and work hard to make your dreams come true" Bean said
"Well then, we can now certify all nine Applicants present as licensed Hunters" Netero said
(Outside of the Orientation Room)
after everyone left the Orientation Room Gon quickyl went to stop Illumi
"Hey Gitterrackur!" Gon said as he walked toward him
"What?" Illumi said
"I want you tell me where Killua is" Gon said
Your really going after him? I think thats bad idea" Illumi said
"Who cares what you think Killua is my friend! Now tell me where he is!?" Gon yelled
"And Do those three behind you feel the same way? "Illumi said looking at Kurapika, Ruma and Leorio
"You bet we do" Leorio said
"Yeah so stop stalling and tell us already" Ruma said
"Fine then... I doubt you'll be able to get there anyway I'm sure he jsut went back home" Illumi said
"and where is that?" Gon said
"Kukuroo Mountain, you can find our families house in the summit" Illumi said
"Kukuroo Mountain?" Leorio said
"we got it Thanks alot" Gon said as he walked off alogn with his Three Friends
(The Front Garden)
"Kukuroo Mountain, Never heard of it" Leorio said
"Yeah me neither, but we should be able to look it up on a computer or something" Ruma said
"Hey" Hanzo said walking towards them
"Hey Hanzo" Gons aid
"I'm heading home we all went through a lot in a short time I had a lot of fun" Hanzo said
"Yeah me to" Gon said
"How can you consider getting your arm broken Fun?" Ruma said to herself sweatdropping
"If you ever visit my country just let me know, I'll give you a real tour, no tourist traps, Later" Hanzo said walking off after giving them some cards
"That is one self-assured ninja" Kurapika said
"Hey"
All of them turned and noticed Pokkle
"I'm really sorry about how I acted back at the Orientation" Pokkle said
"Please I was no better I hope that you can forgive me" Kurapika said
"No, I only got mad because I knew deep down you were right, I was just taking out my frustration at winning by default...but I'm over that I passed so I might as well make the best of it right? The question is what I'm going to do next" Pokkle said
"and what will that be?" Ruma said
Pokkle the smiled at her
"I decided that I'll travel the world, discovering new species, and as a licensed exotic game hunter, learn everything I can" Pokkle said
An Exotic game hunter? What made you want to do that?" Kurapika said
"Lets just say I was inspired" Pokkle said
hey whats that under your arm?" Gon said pointing at the Laptop
"Oh this, you can use it to find all kinds of information, anything you want to know? I can look it up for you" Pokkle said opening the Laptop
"Hmm Oh yeah can you look up hunter named Ging, Ging Freecss" Gon said
"Sure hold on just a second...hmm. i'm curious so who is this Ging guy anyway, cuz everything related to him is behind a tight security system you need a whole bunch of codes to access it I think he must have friends on national level" Pokkle said
"Really? Oh well never mind then" Gon said
"Your Father must be someone really special" Leorio whispered to Gon
"Wait, I have someone I would like for you to look up, his name is Daishin Togichi," Ruma said
"You mean your dad? that wrote that journal you got?" Pokkle said
"Thats the one" Ruma said
"Okay, lets see here...Whoa" Pokkle said
"What? What is it?" Ruma said
"This Guy is pretty impressive, a Double-star hunter, responsible for discovering and/or documenting more then 15 new species, his first discovery was reported when he was at the age of 17" Pokkle said
"WHAT!?" All four of them said surprised
"No one person has ever discovered this many species, your dad must've been a very determined Beast Hunter" Pokkle said
Ruma smiled
"What else does it say about him?" Ruma said
"Hmm...Oh" Pokkle said kind of shocked
"What..What is it?" Ruma said
"Its says here that he's... Presumed Dead" Pokkle said
Everyone was then thrown back over hearing that especially Ruma
"What?" Ruma said in a sad tone
"Yeah Apparently he hasn't been seen for quite sometime, no major Activity of any kind for years" Pokkle said sadly
Ruma then tightened her lips trying to hold back her sadness as she put her head down
"I was really hoping it wasn't true" Ruma said
"I'm sorry" Pokkle said
"Well does it say anytthing else?" Leorio said
"Unfortunately No, only just vague information about his last Activities" Pokkle said
"Which Are?" Leorio said
"Hmmm, well thats odd, it seems to be heavily Classified I can't acess it" Pokkle said
"REALLY THATS ALL!? COME ON THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING!" Leorio yelled
"I'M JUST READING OUT! WHAT I'M SEEING!" Pokkle yelled
"You Guys!" Ruma yelled stopping them
Ruma then quickly wiped away a tear
"Its alright, and besides I don't think my dad would want me to be sad, especially after passing the Hunter Exam like he did" Ruma said as she tried to slightly smile
there was then silence
"Well Presumed Dead doesn't mean actually Dead so there is a chance he might still be out there somewhere," Kurapika said
Ruma just sighed
"Ruma I'm sure your dad is Ok." Gon said
"Can we just move on from it, Please" Ruma said
"Okay...Well let me know if anything comes up, heres my Email address" Pokkle said giving it to Ruma
"Thanks Pokkle" Ruma said
"Well see you guys around" Pokkle said running off
"Bye Pokkle!' Gon said
Gon then turned towards Ruma with concern
"Hey Ruma are you sure your okay?" Gon said
Ruma then smiled
"Yeah I'm fine Gon, lets go and get our friend Killua back" Ruma said with a determined look
"Wait we should've asked him to look up Kukurro Mountain" Leorio said
"Oh shoot" Ruma said
"Well we are licensed Hunters now and its probably not the best idea to let other Hunters know what were doing, better to look it up ourselves" Kurapika said
" "
All of them turned and noticed Satotz
"Satotz" Gon said
"Do you have moment I would like to speak with you" Satotz said
"Sure" Gon said
"We'll wait for you in the Lobby" Kurapika said as Ruma and Leorio
(Later)
All of them were then around a computer as Kurapika typed in the location
"Kukuroo Mountain it seems to be located in the Republic of Podeka, According to this it seems to be a stable country and its open to tourists so we should be fine" Kurapika said
"Thats where Killua is?" Gon said
"It'll take 3 days to make by Airship, when do you think we should leave" Kurapika said
"Uh Right now" Ruma said
"Yeah I'm with Ruma" Leorio said
"Me too" Gon said
"Got it, I'll order the tickets then" Kurapika said as he typed on the computer
It wasn't long until all four of them hitched a ride to the the closest Airport.
"Thanks again for giving us a ride to the Airport Ponzu," Gon said as Ruma, Kurapika were riding in the back and Leorio in the front.
" Well its the least I can do for you guys for helping me pass the Hunter Exam" Ponzu said
"How much longer till you get there?" Ruma said
"as long as things run smoothly we should be there in the next half an hour" Ponzu said
"Good my butt is starting to get numb" Leorio said
"Wait whats that up ahead?" Kurapika said
All of them looked and noticed the huge giant build up of trucks and cars in the distance, Ponzu then quickly stopped it wasn;t long until they were boxed in as well
"Oh no" Ponzu said in an annoyed tone
"Great, Traffic" Leorio said
"Whoa, Look how far it Stretches" Ruma said
"Well this is perfect...Sorry Guys" Ponzu said annoyed
"At this Rate were going to be late for our flight" Kurapika said
"Hmmmm..Well in that case" Gon said as he quickly got out of the car.
"Come on you guys!" Gon said as he started along the side of the road
"Wait you guys are planning on running all the way over there?" Ponzu said
"Well Looks that way...Thanks for getting us this far Ponzu, We appreciate it" Ruma said as she got out of the car along with Kurapika and Leorio giving the thanks as well
it didn;t take long for them to catch up with Gon.
"hey Gon? Do you realize how far the airport is from here?" Leorio said
"Yeah but I want to rescue Killua and I didn't want to wait another second" gon said
"Well fine by me, you win" Leorio said
"You know I'm getting a weird case of deja vu" Ruma said
"Yeah running like this kind of reminds me of the Hunter Exam" Kurapika said
"Yeah Except this seem way more Easier" Gon said
"I Agree" Ruma said
"got that right" Leorio said
"Okay guys, Race you to the Airport" Gon said
"Okay but the loser gets to buy dinner!" Ruma said
"Ready, Set, Go!" Gon said
