Chapter Four
The Puzzle X is it real? X KaaaAAbbBbbBbOOOOOmmmmmmMMMmm
The puzzle was written on a brown leaf. Strange leaf. Mr. Thora calls it Lontar. It consist words… no number, no picture… just words. Kurapika, Gon, Killua and Leorio read it……..
Use the number before sunrises..use the twentieth tree that been eaten,with no regard to the space. Use the teens to complete the first, then give the fifth a cup of tea. Use what lay between simple and hard,like a bee substituted by two.Now regard all the space 'cause empty still have a number.Finally the last one laid next to completed,just wait.
"What the hell..?"
"Yes, what the hell… we've try to break it for 2 years… but.. Ach…." Mr Thora looks very upset
"But sir.. How can we help you… we hardly understand your languages" Gon ask Mr Thora
"No… it's written in English. It was the priests who make it. And priest only allowed using English instead of Kujash"
"Kujash..?"
"Our Languages.."
"Do you know what it supposes to be?", Kurapika asks
"It has to be a combination of eight numbers…. We input the combination to a secret keyboard near the grand oasis, and it will open the gate…"
"Hmmmm………" Kurapika humming, concentrate….
"Hmmmmm.."
"Well I think it's almost midnight… have some sleep. You can use Falkirie's room. It's too large for him alone. Come." Mr. Thora also look tired.
"Hmmm", Kurapika is on the don't-disturb-me mood
"Come… I'll give you a copy tomorrow.."
"Hmmm….but can I… Hmmmm"
"Mr Thora, just let Kurapika alone here… he don't want to sleep yet… right Kurapika?"Leorio asks
"Hmmmm Hmm Hmmmm.. I think… no..no… hmmmmm"
"That's a yes… come on Gon, Kilua.. Let's have some sleep.. Live him alone…"
"Ok"
"Hmmmm… mmm… no… hmmmmm…."
"Come… Falkirie haven't come back yet… you can use his room…"
"His room..?"
"Yes.. He is my brother"
**************
Actually it's not quite a room. It's just a large cave with one single bed. It's a water bed. Leorio insist he must sleep there. Gon and Kilua haven't yet protest, Leorio had already sleep… snoring….
"What do you think, Gon…?"
"What..?"
"About Mr. Thora story… Do you think the thief is your father…?"
"It can't be…. My father is a good guy..."
"So..."
"So…, I don't know… maybe we'll find it tomorrow"
"Ssshhh…. Somebody come... Maybe it's Falkirie"
"Kamarku di nggo??!... kok ngono sih..!! kok ora kamarmu wae!!!!" Falkirie yells... to his brother perhaps… maybe angry because his room is being used by some strangers.
"Wis to Fal… kamarmu kan jembar… Bobok kono!", Mr. Thora, trying to make a good reason I think.
"Ahh.."
Falkirie goes to his room. A little 'shhhh' when he knows Leorio is on the only bed in the room… and snoring loudly… He sat on a corner... as far as he can be from our friends… And then, about ten minutes later… he snores to….
"I think I'll never sleep in this kind of noise…" Killua staring at Gon, hoping Go n is not yet asleep.
"Yeah..", Gon felt the snoring is annoying too.
"Do you think Mr Thora is telling the truth..?"
"About what..?"
"About the condition their eye balls change color…"
"When the are sleeping..?, if it's not the truth, we can't prove it either…"
"But we CAN…" Killua smile… a bad smile….
"What do you mean?"
"Falkirie is a sleep now… so, let's open his eyes…"
"What… but…"
"Come on…."
"How's we gonna explain that if he wakes?"
"Well tell him we just trying to stop his snore…" , Kilua stand up slowly, quietly, and walk to Falkirie's corner..
"Killua…"
"Shhh… you'll wake him…"
"Killua…", Gon, slowly wake up and follow Killua. Feeling bad, but Gon also want to get over his curiosity about the eyes.. So he decides to follow Killua…
"Shhh… I'll slowly open his eyes… Snoring like this, I think he won't wake up.."
Falkirie snores harder, making Killua pulls his hand's fingers back… but Falkirie not yet wake up.
"OK… Here we go…", Slowly, Killua reach his eyes, and open it. A little 'enggh' from Leorio stop Killua for a second.. And he continues again.. Slo w l y ….s l o w l y….
It's Blue… Charming blue…… Killua and Gon are so charmed; that they don't release Killua had open Falkirie's eyes for 40 second.
"What…" Falkirie Woke!!,
Killua quickly pull his finger….. no… Falkirie is still sleeping… not snoring again.. But still a sleep.
"Fiuhh…"Gon says..
"Yeah.. Fiuh… Its Blue o right…. Impressing Blue…"
"Yeah… lets go try to have some sleep… we've prove they are really Kurasan… Kurapika will be happy if we tell him.."
"Yeah.. and…"
……………….
"KaaaBOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!"
"DuaarrrRRR!!!!!!!"
"HHHiiIIIIIiiiaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
****************
Two minutes before the great 'Kkaaaboooommm'
"Well my friend… we found the Shadow Readers… It's easier than finding the Kurasan in their own land…"
"Yeah.. it means that we can have our money quicker…"
"Yesssssss.. Andsssssss Isssss likesss Quickssssss moneyssssss…ssssssshhhh"
"Die they Will, Give are money, They also…. Attack, when we ?? Leader"
"Stop acting like Master Yoda Sniffll. We'll attack when my fiftieth tears of this day drops. Just wait for my sign…"
"I'm Hungry…. Can I eat my sandwich first…? I can't attack when I'm Hungry… And if I can't attack... Our strategy will be no use… We can't get lost…. Maybe they have their dinner twice… so we can't beat them and kill them easily You also haven't eat yet leader.. How about some sandwich.. It's Tuna with egg.. I sure you'll enjoy it.. I make it by my self.. and I think it's to much if I eat it alone.. So can you……"
"ATTACK!!!!! NOWWW!!!!!", The man called leader point his stick to the bottom of the canyon. Six man jump to it. A man starts to glow his hand… preparing to shot some energy ball….
And…….
*******************
Back to the great
"KkabbBBBBOOOoooOOOoMMMMMM!!!!!"
"Duarrr!!!"
"What the…" Killua and Gon haven't yet sleep. From the window they can see flashing light destroying the cave's rock.
"It's an attack…!!!" Gon aware
"It's a nen user…, Gon wake up Leorio… " Killua, while running to the window
"What.. what happen…" Leorio don't need Gon to wake him up…with the noise outside is hardly for anyone to sleep.
"An attack?… but who"
"KabbboOOOMmmm!!!!!!"
"Hey… that's strange… nobody wakes up.." Killua noticed that no one of the shadow readers had woke up to prevent them self. And he turns his had to Falkirie… Falkirie is still sleeping too...
"They are in the condition of full relaxed and peace… nothing can wake them up", Leorio while fixing his outfit.
"That Kurapika…" Kilua point some point
"What.." Leorio and Gon get closer to the window
They see Kurapika is fighting with a strange man…. If we can call it a man…
"Let's help him…", Gon – never thinks that he is risking his own life—jump trough the window, then runs to Kurapika's. Killua follow him… And Leorio – not trough the window— too
Another "Kabooom…Kabommm… Duarrr…"
Gon and Killua not yet reach Kurapika, An enormous man stop them….
"Well-well.. What we've got here….. You can't be Kurasues.. They can't wake up if their asleep, unless they woke up by them self…. And we've killed the guardian… so … who are you…?"
"Who are YOU..??!! Killua throws back the question,
The man does not answer. His hand starts glowing…. He is absolutely a killing machine…
"Kyouka… Kilua, watch out!!!!" Gon pulls Kilua to his side, when the glowing hand become a energy ball, hitting the ground so hard with another 'KaaBBooOOOm'
"Don't you run.. 'Cause die is your faith", The man jump.. He is smiling, Gon noticed. Noticed that it's difficult to win the fight, Gon choose to swing his rod to the cliff, and jump, while still holding Kilua.
The Big Man jumps again, chasing Gon and Killua. Killua quickly use his own nen, and shot some electric bolt to him. 'Bzzzz' It hit the man's eye
"Argghh!!!" The big man falls. Gon continues swinging, getting closer to Kurapika.
Kurapika is fighting against a strange tall man, with a very long tongue. A snake-like tongue. The snake man seems to spitting all over the place… try to spit on Kurapika.. Kurapika keep moving to remains his distance… try to find a good time to use his chain….
Suddenly the man stops spitting… "Fightsssss, Fightss me assss a mansss .. willss you..?!!!...sshhhh"
Kurapika stop moving, "OK… give me your best spit… and I'll give you my best attack…"
"That'ssss fairsss enoughssss… Arrrrrrrggggg … sssshhshhh ….gggggglglglgllg…" seem like The snake man is gathering his spit-liquid….. Kurapika cover his face with his hand.. aware whatever the attack would be…. And then..
"BBAAAAHHHH!!!!"
A glowing liquid spread out from the snake man mouth, fast.. very fast….
Kurapika had no time to move over… he punch the liquid….
The snake man smiles… he knows the poison on his spit.. he knows a punch can't protect Kurapika.. the poison is so powerful that can spread all over the body trough the skin…. But the snake man doesn't release something..
When Kurapika punch the liquid, he also spread out one of his chain trough it… The snake man can't see the chain 'cause it covered by his own liquid… The chain goes straight to his neck… trough his next actually… Obvious, the snake man is no match to Kurapika.
"Kurapika!!", Gon and Killua finally reach Kurapika
"Gon, Killua… Ugh..", Kurapika looks hurt, he hold his right hand hard.
"Kurapika...? Whats a matter?" Gon asks
"Poison… That man spit me with a poison…. Arghh…"
"What…"
"No matter, I just need some time to block my blood way by turning it to something by using my nen…"
"OK then…" Gon still look worry
"Kurapika….!!", It's Leorio… Killua starse at him… he never understands, why a man with no nen power like Leorio, could always survive in such of adventure….
But then Killua's eyes… and Gon's… Look at the shadow behind Leorio…. Five shadow… and glowing…
"Leorio… quick.."
It's to late, one of the shadows jump and attack hit Leorio hard….
"Ach..!" Leorio yell…. As he falls down to the ground…. The shadow that attack him became clearer. Its… it's a girl sitting on Leorio… pretty girl wearing a pretty cap… very pretty girl…. A cute girl…. lovely girl.. Beautiful…. I wonder if she…(Oooops sorry…. ^ . ^ )
The girl stares at Killua and Gon who stares her back. Four other shadows become clearer too. A big man with Kyouka nen that attack Gon and Killua before, a young man with one eye holding a very long sword, an old man, smoking, wearing a very big glasses hanging on his pointed ears, and a young lady holding huge magnifying glass, dressing like Sherlock holmes…..
"Can I play with this one.. can I??", the pretty girl ask the sword man..
"Wait Naomi… wait… My tears will tell you when… We have some business with this four nice guy…"
The sword man stares at Gon and Killua… Killua and Gon suddenly fell very chill… Killua knows… this is a i-will-be-killed felling.
Kurapika finally can stand still. Seeing Kurapika, the sword man raises his long sword, and points it to Kurapika…
"You kill my snake man…..You kill it when my tears this day is on the even number….. My tears are your faith… and die you shall…"
Kurapika, Gon and Killua stand still… Freeze. Leorio looks like he is faint. The actually-it-is-funny-words that come out of the sword man mouth can't neutralize the chilly feeling on our three friends….
"Bos… Let me do it…"
"No Hucho… You can kill the boys after I eyes drops its fifty ninth tears of this day…. But that blond pretty faced boy it's for me and my sword…"
"Ok.." The big man prepares to attack…
"I said wait!, Hucho… My tears haven.t drop yet!"
……
Silence… neither our friends nor the attacker make a move…….
…….
…….
"Bos…."
"Passion Hucho….passion.."
…….
…….
Then suddenly… Killua starts shaking…. "A ..a.. A..a..a..a..A..A..a..a..a..a.."
"Killua…", Gon hold Killua
"You.." Kurapika stares at the sword man, thinks that the man is responsible..
Killua began to shake harder and harder…
"Killua… KILLUA!!!!"
But the attacker seem surprised to…..
Killua's hair become hard… a super-saiyan-like hair… but it's white-silver..
"A..a…A….a…a…a..A…"
Then Killua's body starts to glow…. Not a soft glowing… it's more like some electric bolt.. with 'bzzt-bzzt' noise
"A..a…aA….a…Aaaa…aaaaaaa"
The glow become brighter…and brighter… Gon cover his eyes.. as like Kurapika.. and the Attackers…. Killua shine like a lighting… and then…
"KaabOOOmmmmm….. Bzzzztt bnbzbbbzzzzbbzbzbbzbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzttttt"
Killua explode…. A lot of lighting spread out all over the place from all over of Killua body.
"Bzzzztt bzzzzztt"
"KILLUAA.." Gon yells, but Killua seems to unawake. The lighting bolts hit the attackers.. hit the caves.. his the cliff, the ground.. some of it hit an empty space above. Kurapika and Gon that is near Killua only been hit by some little electric bolt… But The cave not…
"Kaboomm…!!!!"
It ruin every cave.. buried what ever inside it..
"Bzzzt…"
It hit the pretty girl on top of Leorio.. The girl jump back… covers her self
"Back off.. back off!!!" It's the sword man… he thinks this is one of Killua's power…
"Killuaa!!!!" Gon tries to hold Killua.. but he suddenly pulls back his hand.. Killua is still fullcharge….
"Gon.. I'll carry Killua… Take Leorio!!!" Kurapika, realizes the attackers are backing off, he decide to quickly run… there is no second chance… He chains Killua, Gon lift Leorio, And they run, the opposite direction from the attackers.. as fast as they can. Killua still spreading out a lot of electric bolt…..so they track is covered…
"Killuaaaaa….." Gon yells….
