Few! I am done with my internship! the past 7 months with barely any internet and doing 12 hours a day was so intense! but now, I have a job.. I am officially a professional 3D animator!..

...

When Killua and Gon were released from the curse of Crazy Slot's wish, Hagya wasted no time and had a telepathic conversation with Kerpico and Colt about their powers :

"So, basically this white haired guy is fast, deadly and can paralyse with ranged lightning and touch and the black haired one is strong and tough and both of them can mess up my organs if I allow them to touch me?"

"That's not all, White hair is also able to charge things he touches so don't walk into his footstep he could be able to set electric mines wherever he walks and Black hair plays Rock paper scissors, Rock is a balled fist melee attack, Scissor cuts, as for paper.."

"Paper is a weak long range attack, he never uses it" finished Kerpico.

"Think about it, What's rock for the sheet of paper? Something to corner, How do you corner an equal in speed that is tougher and stronger than you and can only attack at short range? With longer range. The problem with that technique is that he is a rock himself, so when he faces someone sturdier and stronger, his paper is too weak to win the game"

"However it doesn't really matter how 'sturdy' I am if I can't let myself be hit by either of them."

Colt added something else :

"The aura thing can move through their bodies and be focused on particular spots, that's apparently how Black hair was able to withstand Yunju's pressure on his skull and how he was able to cut through his skin.. Also it appears that the process is entirely conscious.."

"So if they can't see from where I attack, they can't focus their defense to where I'll hit them, so using my superior speed and my claws, I should be able to tear them to shreds easily, They'll probably protect their arteries and throat whenever they can't see me, so it will probably take a bit of time for them to bleed out."

Hagya chuckled internally :

This is gonna be a blast!..

...

"My clan.."

Hagya was eyeing Gon for a sign that he would try to say anything. He didn't want anyone to start a conversation that wasn't about him.

When Gon tried to say something, he roared.

He roared so loud and deep that it shook the earth.

The leaves fled from their branches in a mile radius of soul ripping fear, they flew upward and suddenly it was dark. The eyes of the lion tore through the night of leaves.

They were the brightest thing around.

It was easy to pinpoint his location.

Not particularly hard either to make an educated guess about where and thus what he's staring at and therefore focusing on.

Despite the speed of the attack, Killua was able to react accordingly as the eyes made it clear the lion aimed at the throat of a certain dark haired boy.

It all happened in a flash.

Faced with the certainty Gon would die, Killua found within himself the speed he needed to save him.

When the darkness subsided, The lion and the assassin didn't even make eye contact..

An arm had been torn and blood was gushing from the stump.

Only the lion had turned around.

The assassin declared :

"He's my best friend! Don't expect it to be easy!"

"Easy?" came the lion's roar.

Don't fight on.. retreat!

Could it be Killua was just trying to reassure himself?The ant captain was licking the blood from his arm.

"I expected it to taste better"

Killua had instinctively refrained from turning around.

Because had he done so, he would have put his stump right under Gon's nose.

When you're loosing blood, retreat and tend to your wound. When the opponent is stronger, retreat!

If you can't retreat, use Gon as a bait!

"Gon, I'm okay.. It doesn't hurt"

But although he wasn't lying, Killua was crying inside.

You can't have friends.. you'll only end up killing them.. RETREAT!

Gon freaked out and screamed as his aura flared.

"Your clan!? Bunch of Monsters! Worse than the phantom troupe! Kurapika wouldn't have wanted to live that way! You have no righ to talk with that voice! To see with those eyes!"

Kerpico was confused, he didn't know what the phantom troupe was yet it felt so familar. He didn't understand why the boy enraged : It was a fair fight and..

"Why are you so angry at us when you're the one who knowingly came here for blood?! No! You're not angry at us, you're angry at yourself. It's your fault your friend lost his.."

"SHUT UP!"

Gon hadn't even turned around to look at the lion.

"So white hair hasn't used the opportunity to zap me yet, which means the arm I have in my hand isn't charged which means I can eat it.. Wait! What if he has a range.. I am about 11 meters away from him.. maybe 10 meters, but if that was the case, he would have approached me to close up the distance and zap me.. more like between 2 and 6 meters, Maybe that's what he meant by 'don't expect it to be easy'.. But he hasn't tried to scout for how much info I have on his power, if he had just walked up to me and forced me to walk back, he would have won a precious information.. which means, he think I am ignorant about it all and believes he'll be able to zap me whenever he wants!"

Hagya was cut short in telepathy as Gon walked resolute and murderous towards Kerpico..

"Hey! You bastard! don't ignore me! I'll kill your friend and eat him!"

Gon just kept walking : "You're next.."

Hagya wanted to pounce on the human and tear him apart but he realized the electric guy was between them.

Doesn't matter, that won't reveal anything! It could just be interpreted as a taunt.

He threw the arm towards Gon and had to wait for a reaction before he could intervene..

The teen caught the arm but no further reaction came and he resumed his intense walking.

However, the lack of reaction was enough justification for the lion ant to pounce as he had originally intended..

Kerpico tried to stop him :

"Don't! it's a trap!"

He had no time to explain..

"Don't worry, I know.. it will be fine.."

Suddenly, Gon turned around and threw the arm back toward Hagya.

"Ah! they're so easy to read! I wouldn't have taken the arm in the first place if I didn't know how to counter the paralysis! If every use of your powers have to be conscious then the processing speed limitations of your brains are the limits to your power's activation speed! By taking the arm in the first place not only I tested a theory without taking any risks because I could have just dropped it before the power could activate, but I also made you think I didn't know about that power of yours! You are the ones who fell into a trap!"

Wow! Wow! Seriously! You guys are thinking way to fast! Stop having internal monologues during fast actions! it's stupid!

"If contact only happen for a very short period of time, White hair won't have time to activate his power! Watch Kerpico! Watch how good I've become at this game!"

Ow sure! Not just the long thinking part, now he's got time to speak with telepathy..

During that time, he also had prepared to swipe at the arm.

I swear if he also has time to :

"Fool! I win!"

(-_-)

I won't even comment that.

Anyway, Action!

"Saisho wa gū .." Gon had started to charge up assuming his signature pose. Which I won't describe.. If you don't know what is signature pose is watch Hunter x Hunter instead of reading this or you can look it up online.. Don't google 'Gon signature pose' of course, you'll probably find it but you won't have many results.. Why... Why Am I explaining you how to make a google search?!

Killua had followed to not raise suspicions all the while placing himself right behind Hagya at the opposite of Gon's position.

Doing so he had ensured that Hagya would be right between him and his severed arm.

" Eh..You're the fool.."

The arm started to spark lightning arcs.

Hagya realized a bit to late that he wouldn't even have time to swipe the arm away as the electric current was called by its master and traveled back to him in a straight line.

"Both my feet are off the ground, I can't dodge! Their timing was way too .."

"Perfect!" exclaimed Killua as the electricity shook Hagya to his core and paralyzed him!

"Jan KEN!.." His aura had spiked up. It flared a demonic mix of red and black.

"No! Please don't!" begged Kerpico as Gon prepared to punch his feline leader much harder than he had punched Rammot before.

His eyes were burning a brighter red than usual. He also felt much stronger.

Not just much stronger than usual, much stronger than Kurapika ever felt to anyone.

But that wasn't enough to move.

Hagya was still falling relatively slowly as he wasn't on the ground when he got paralyzed.

The surge in power didn't distract Gon but it woke something up in a discreet and now very jealous onlooker. One desperate to be useful.

"HAGYA-SAMA!"

Out of nowhere and faster than he had ever been before, Flutter flew in horizontally and knowing he wouldn't have time to throw his leader out of the way using his arms before he was himself paralyzed, he decided to dropkick him out of the scene.

It wasn't just oddly satisfying to do that for Flutter.. Certainly the lion had deserved it but it was also a very selfless act.

Because even though the lion was sent flying away from the scene and its danger, that only accounted for most of the energy of the dropkick and Flutter's "landing" wasn't as graceful as he's used to.

Gon let go of the aura he had built up in his fist, letting it flow back to his body.

He was still of steel, resolve and emptiness.

He approached the dragonfly who was still trying to get up.

But then he stopped, and then he started to weep. The weeping became crying.

Kerpico and Flutter had never really been friendly to each other. They both knew Kerpico was the boss' favorite.

"Flutter.. Your.. your wings.. they're.."

"It's okay.. don't worry.. it was worth it.."

Gon looked back to Killua's arm..

No! NO! I don't want to admit it!

NO!

Despite his protest, he checked back the mess on the chimera's back.. He would never be able to fly again. They weren't all as tough as Rammot.. that was just made very clear.

Am I comparing Killua to this thing?

I can't! I can't!

"Gon.. You know I killed more people than any of them.. You know we'll be just petrified again if we try and save Kite.. We need to get going, I need to find someone to fix my arm ASAP..."

Gon swallowed the pressure in his throat.

He turned his gaze towards Kerpico who wasn't brimming with energy anymore.

"Gon, there is nothing left for us here.."

He started to walk towards the rat chimera, he hadn't stopped crying.

"Gon.."

Kerpico didn't talk, he was gazing back right into the teen's eyes.. Mirroring his expression..

"Kurapika had a goal.. something important to him.."

"I will do it!"

Gon couldn't believe him. He frowned :

"How could.."

"You can!"

His eyes turned brighter again.

Flutter and Rammot gulped.

Cheetuh was getting really interested in this little officer.

Wow Hagya! you're lame at fighting but dang you've got a nose for talent!

"Because you know, you know that if someone destroyed my clan...

Death wouldn't be enough to prevent me from having my revenge!

It's only fair that I offer my strength to the one I owe it to.

Tell me, Gon! Who's the spider? What is the phantom troupe?"
