We had decided to do the tournament for rock-paper-scissors. We had come to the mutual agreement of "no hard feelings" towards each other for winning or losing. It was the best thing we could come up with when we were all after the same prize card. Unsurprisingly, I lost in the first round. Gon and Killua however managed to get to the finals! I sat in the seats right at the front watching them, cheering them both on.

The two boys stared hard at each other as they were getting ready they were tied with each other for three wins and three losses each.
"Championships finals, round seven! Ready… Go!" The referee shouted, throwing his arm into the air then throwing it towards the ground. I watched the boys mouth move, muttering it to myself with them as I watched them with excitement.
"First comes rock… Rock…Paper…" I muttered to myself, watching their hand movements. Killua had played rock and Gon had played scissors.
"Killua wins!" The referee shouted as he held his arm into the air. I clapped quickly, smiling widely to myself. Killua turned and gave me a thumb up with a wide smile making me give him a thumb up back with a wide smile in return. Gon grabbed the sides of his head and rubbed it hard in frustration, his teeth clenched together and eyes closed tight.

Killua and Gon waved me over. I nodded my head and quickly lifted myself over the wall, separating the crowd from the tournament goers. I stood next to Killua, so that he was in the middle of me and Gon. One of the tournament organizers came up to the referee, handing him a long silver sword. The referee took it and said his thanks to the man before turning to Killua, holding the blade in his open hands, a wide smile on his face.
"Congratulations. Here is your prize, the Sword of Truth." The referee said to Killua, handing him the blade. Killua took the blade with a smile however it quickly turned into a card. The three of us looked at it slightly startled, not expecting it to suddenly turn into a card like that.
"Look, Gon, Mishka… This card is number eighty three. It's goes into a restricted slot." Killua said to us. I nodded my head, smiling widely as Gon did the same.
"Okay, that's one down." Gon said to us.
"And only ninety eight to go." I said to them, keeping the wide smile on my face. The three of us high fived each other, keeping the wide smiles on our faces.
"Score." We said to the same time, happy for the success of getting one card.

We left the tournament grounds and took to wondering the streets once more. It was still bright and sunny outside with no sign of it changing to night any time soon. Killua summoned his book and placed the card inside as we walked up the streets, not really paying attention to where we were walking. We stared down at the book, just thinking to ourselves as it floating in front of Killua so that all of us could see.
"The problem is how we protect the card." Gon said as Killua shoved his hands into his shorts pockets.
"We don't have any defensive spell cards." Killua said as I nodded my head in agreement, linking my fingers behind my back slightly as we walked.
"And even if we did, other players may have spells to counter our spells. We need to think of other ways than just relying on the card all the time." I said to the two as they nodded, deep in thought themselves.
"Wait, kids!" A man said behind us. We turned our heads over our shoulders a little bit.

There stood a pale man with shaggy black hair, a red waist coat and white shirt with cream trousers. He pointed at us, looking almost nervous about us.
"H-Hand over that Sword of Truth! Do as I say and I won't be rough with you." The man stuttered to us. I raised an eyebrow in confusion as Gon just watched him with a confused look. Killua kept the same relaxed look he always carried as he kept his hands in his pockets.
"No way, stupid." Killua said to him. The three of us turned around and began walking away from the man, not giving him a chance to say anything else to us.
"W-Wait! Book!" The man said. The three of us turned around, glaring at him.
"Book." Me and Gon said at the same time, summoning our own books as we kept our eyes on the man. That guy earlier did say this was our biggest bluff; and if he thinks three of us had cards he might leave us alone.

Our books floated in front of us as we stared at the man with a glare. He smirked at us slightly, never taking his eyes off of us either.
"Hmph, you're bluffing. I know that you just started this game. You have no defensive spells, and all you would have in your restricted slots is the Sword of Truth. This if Thief!" The man said to us, laughing between his words. He held up a card in his hands, continuing to smirk at us.
"This spell card lets you steal one random card from another player's restricted slot! Take this… Thief on! Attack Killua!" The man explained to us as he shouted his attack.
"Book." Gon muttered to himself, dismissing his book. He then suddenly jumped forward at lighten speed, taking the card from the man. He landed behind him, one knee touching the ground. The man looked confused at his empty hand as Gon looked over his shoulder, holding the card lightly.
"Haven't you been trained at all, Mister?" Gon questioned him. The man turned around to face him over his shoulder, his mouth wide open in shock. Gon threw the card back at him, which the man promptly caught.
"Next time, I won't return your card." Gon said to him as he walked back towards us.
"Book." Me and Killua said at the same time, dismissing our books from in front of us.
"You must be an amateur. I'm impressed you got into a game for Hunters." Killua said to him with a straight face. Gon stopped next to Killua, looking at the man with his neutral expression. I linked my fingers lightly behind my back once more, looking at him with a blank look myself.
"But we did learn a lot. Attack spells won't start until you finish the chant." I said to him. The man looked at us in disbelief, angry at us.
"Th-That only works against weak players!" He shouted as us. We dismissed him and turned around to walk away from him once more. I could tolerate most people; but he seemed really desperate for the one card we had.

As we walked away from the man another man stepped out from behind the corner of the wall. We looked at him slightly wide eyed, had he been listening to the entire conversation we had? The man had black shoes and white fluffy leg warmers, stopping just below his knee. His trousers were purple and a yellow vest top with brown circles on it. The vest top had a white fluffy collar and arm holes. On the man's head was a purple top hat with white fluffy rim. His eyes were small and face quite square; but he was muscly.

As the three of us looked around, we noticed we were surrounded by other players. The three of us gasped as we looked around, staying glued to our spot. Where did all these guys come from? More importantly, they all had their books out.
"If you want a card, you take it from someone. Only fools would participate in tournaments. Understand, boys?" The man said to the three of us, holding up a card. The three of us glared at him, our teeth clenched…did he just call me a boy? That should be the last of my worries though at the moment.

The men had taken our only card. As a result, the three of us had stalked off away from them in favour of finding somewhere to calm down. We found a quite part of town and walked up to the steps attached to one of the buildings. The three of us sat on the steps Gon nearer to the wall with me in the middle and Killua by the outside of the wall. Gon slammed his fist onto the stone step we were sitting on. I flinched slightly at the sound of flesh and bone hitting stone straight on.
"I'm so pissed!" Gon shouted angrily.
"Language!" I shouted back at him, although the words were unheard. Not that I minded, Gon was just very mad that we had lost our only card because we were gained up on by a whole group of people.
"Just forget it. Those guys were obviously pros. At least we didn't waste too much effort." Killua said to Gon. Gon lifted his fist off the stone step and clenched his other hand tightly, looking up slightly with a glare on his face.
"Damn it! Then I'm gonna start getting spell cards!" Gon said to us.
"It wouldn't hurt having a few." I said agreeing with him as I leaned forward, propping my elbows onto my knees and head into the open palm of my hands. Killua stood up a small smile on his face as he looked down to me and Gon.
"That means our next destination will be Masadora, City of Magic." Killua said to us happily. Gon stood up looking at Killua with his neutral expression.
"No objections!" Gon said. I was the last to stand up and nodded my head agreeing with the two boys.
"We better get going then." I said to the two. The three of us walked away from the stone steps, Killua smiling to himself with his hands in his pockets and Gon with a neutral expression and hands by his sides. I held my fingers behind my back once more, a neutral expression on my own face.

The three of us walked to a shop. We had decided to trade in our Galgaida cards for some money. I was grateful for that; it meant if we wanted something to eat we didn't have to do eating challenges, which meant I wouldn't have to risk my stomach exploding. We summoned our books and flipped to the back taking out the Galgaida cards, then walked into a large white shop with a white wall around it. Once traded in we walked back out, dismissing our books.
"Those three Galgaida cards netted us one hundred and twenty thousand Jenny." Killua said as we stopped outside the shop, which turned out to be a card shop, smiling at each other once more.
"They were pretty valuable." Gon said to us happily.
"Or maybe the guy just really liked Galgaida." I said to them, keeping the smile on my face.
"Either way, we don't need to worry about money now. Let's buy some food and water, so we can start for Masadora!" Gon said excitedly. I nodded my head excitedly with him, smiling widely at him. Killua looked between us as he lifted a finger near his head.
"First, we'll need a map." Killua said to us.

We walked back into the card shop that we just left. We instantly went to the counter and stared at the map cards behind the glass.
"Which one should we get?" Killua questioned us, looking at me and Gon questionably. Gon lifted his head away from the glass and looked at Killua.
"The twenty thousand one. It'll be more fun to fill it out ourselves." Gon said to him happily. I lifted my head from the glass, smiling widely at Killua.
"Not to mention, we might find somewhere really secret that's not detailed on pre-done maps." I said to him happily myself. Killua smiled at us awkwardly as he closed his eyes.
"You're both so positive, it painful." Killua said to us, making me and Gon smile wider at him.

We brought the map and walked back out of the card shop. Me and Gon stood either side of Killua, staring at the card in his hand.
"Gain." Killua said, turning the card into a blank map. A little red dot blinked, showing us where we were. Killua furrowed his brows as he looked at the map disgruntled.
"This doesn't tell us anything." Killua complained as he stared at the map. Me and Gon stared at the map ourselves, it didn't even have where we were. When they said it was a blank map, they really meant it was a blank map.
"Then let's ask." Gon said cheerfully to Killua, turning his head to look at him with a wide smile.

We went inside another shop, feeling it would be silly to go into the same shop three times in a row for different things. I didn't know what was sold in the shop, but it seemed rather plain inside. The walls were white and there stood a desk with a laptop on it. A tall, muscly man stood behind the counter. His skin was tanned and he wore a white vest top. He also had black wrist bands on one wrist. He had dark brown hair that was shaved at the back and spiked on the top. His eyes were a very dark blue. We asked him how to get to Masadora.
"Head north for eighty kilometres. After you pass the mountain, you'll reach a lake. If you follow the lake north you should reach Masadora." The man said to us, folding his arm back over the table and smiling widely at the three of us. Killua turned his head to look at me and Gon.
"If we hurry, we can go eighty kilometres in a day." Killua said to us. Me and Gon nodded our heads, looking back at Killua with small smiled on our faces.
"Assuming you survive." The man said to us, making the three of us turn and look at him wide eyed with interest.
"The mountain is crawling with bandits. And once you pass the mountain, you'll encounter hordes of monsters." The man explained to us. Killua smiled widely at the thought and leaned over to him in excitement.
"Bandits?" Killua asked excitedly.
"Monsters?" Gon asked excitedly, smiling widely and leaning forward.
"Hordes?" I asked in more of a panic, looking at him with furrowed brows and a wide frown. One or two monsters I could deal with, but hordes were another thing; that meant there was loads of them all at once!
"Now it sounds more like an RPG!" Killua said excitedly to Gon and I as we turned our heads to face him.
"I wanna see these monsters!" Gon said excitedly to him.
"I don't want to be torn limb to limb!" I said to them, closing my eyes tightly and scrunching up my nose at the thought.
"Let's hurry up!" Gon said to us turning on his heel to walk away. I opened my eyes and turned on my heel myself. Me and Killua followed after him quickly.

We stood outside the shop and away from the entrance. The three of us stood in a small semi-circle, Gon with his arm in the air happily.
"All right! Off we go!" Gon yelled happily as he began to walk away. Me and Killua started following Gon, keeping at the same walking speed as him as we took our places next to him.
"Please wait!" A girl's voice cried out from behind us confused and questionably. The three of us stopped and turned our heads over our shoulders slightly. It was a girl with long blonde hair in two bunches on her head and red-purple eyes. She wore a red dress that fell to her knees and was wide at the hips. She wore white gloves and white ankle high socks with black shoes. She looked about our age.
"I beg you!" She said to us, her brows furrowed and hands together in front of her chest.
"What?" Killua asked her, eager to start heading off to Masadora as soon as possible. I had to admit, I wanted to get there two, I wanted to see all the magic cards they had.
"Please let me join you!" She asked us. Killua lifted his hand up dismissively as we continued to stare at her.
"Oh, sorry. Can't." Killua said to her simply. The girl looked at us slightly shocked, unjoining her hands from one another. She then joined them up once more and continued to look at us with furrowed brows.
"W-Why not?" She asked us confused.
"You'd be a nuisance." Killua said blankly at her. She looked taken back by his comment and looked at us in disbelief. The three of us quickly looked at each other through the corner of our eyes and then turned around, walking away from the girl to leave her behind.
"Hey, hold it right there! Please! I'll try really hard not to get in your way!" The girl said, running to catch up with us.

I looked behind me slightly over my shoulder to stare at the girl; she was really determined to join us.
"Don't look at her, pretend she's not there." Killua whispered to me. I turned my head around again and nodded it quickly, showing I understood. We picked up our walking pace, making it faster; however we could still hear the girl behind us, walking faster herself. The three of us looked at each other from the corner of our eyes and quickly burst into a run, trying our best to get away from the girl who was determined to follow us.

We got to the outside of Antokiba, City of Prizes. The three of us just continued to run, trying our best to get away from the girl, so much so that we ran into a forest thick with trees. The sun was starting to set, meaning it should hopefully work in our favour and be much more difficult for her to catch up with us. It would also mean we would have to be really careful not to trip over any top roots from the trees.
"Hey, what should we do about her?" Gon questioned Killua in a hushed tone, turning his head towards him. I did the same, wondering the same thing as Gon. I looked over my shoulder to see where she was. She was still following behind us; it didn't even look like she was running.
"She's awfully persistent." I whispered back to them, turning my head to face Killua once more. Killua turned his head over his shoulder, looking at the girl himself.
"Just continue ignoring her. Once the bandits show up, we'll have a chance to ditch her." Killua said to us. I furrowed my brows slightly at Killua's answer, ignoring her was one thing, leaving her to the bandits was another.
"Isn't that kind of mean?" Gon questioned as the three of us turned our heads to look forward once more.
"What are you talking about? Tsezgerra let her pass, so she must have strong Nen. She should be able to escape if it gets hairy." Killua said to us as he jumped over a fallen log, keeping our running speed. I was really impressed, she could keep up behind us no problem without even making it look like she was running, plus she was very persistent to join us.

The three of us continued running as night fell over. At least this game did have a night and day system mechanic. I was glad for how long I had been running, then again, with all the training and different things me, Gon and Killua had been doing over the last half a year or more it shouldn't have been hardly surprisingly.

We looked back through the corner of our eyes, turning her heads slightly. She was still catching up to us, making it look as if it was very easy.
"I didn't think she'd keep up this long." Killua whispered to us in hushed tones. As we looked back in front of us a couple of bandits heads popped out from behind the trees. We stopped, only to be surrounded by more bandits. Killua looked between me and Gon through the corner of his eyes.
"Let's take them." Killua said to us as me and Gon looked at him through the corner of our eyes.
"Yeah." Gon said as I nodded my head.

We moved our feet apart, lowering ourselves slightly to get ready to attack the group. They all lined up and ran at us quickly, then jumped into the air. We braced ourselves as they landed on the ground then dropped down, bowing to us with her heads near the floor.
"Please help us! We beg you!" The bandits said to us.
"Huh?" We said confused at the same time, standing up straight. The men started couching as we stared at them, trying to decide what to do.

In the end we had followed the men back to their village. The village was traditional; all the buildings looked nearly the same, wooden walls, sliding screen doors and wooden floors. We entered one of the houses as we followed all the bandits. In the middle was a kid a lot younger than us, breathing heavily with a cloth over his head to keep his temperature down. Me, Gon and Killua sat the floor, me and Gon sitting on our legs with our hands in our lap and Killua sitting with his legs crossed. The blonde girl had also followed us and sat behind the three of us. We stared at the boy, just watching him breath heavily.
"A disease is going around the island. It starts with a mild fever, grows to a high fever, and eventually leads to death." One of the bandits said to us as he watched the boy, coughing at the end of his sentence.
"All we can do is use medicine to keep the fever in check." An older man next to us said, covering his mouth as he coughed. We turned our attention back to the boy on the floor.
"But the medicine will only work for a week." The older man said, covering his mouth once more to cough.
"It's also incredibly expensive, and we've run out of money…" The man who spoke previously said, covering his mouth with his hand as he coughed into it.
"We've all fallen ill, so we're unable to do any bandit work." The man carried on, covering his mouth once more and coughing into it.

Gon looked at Killua, turning his head to face him.
"Is it contagious?" Gon questioned him. Killua turned his head to face Gon as I continued to stare at the boy wide eyed.
"That's just a scenario." Killua said to him. The man suddenly leaned in close to me, making me lean by back into Killua's shoulder as we stared at him wide eyed.
"My son only has two or three days to live!" The man said to us. The older man leaned close to Gon, making him lean his back into Killua's other shoulder as well as we turned out heads to look at him.
"Could you spare us any money?" The only man asked us. The three of us looked at each other through the corner of our eyes, our eyes staying wide.
"This is an in-game event, right?" Gon questioned in a hushed whisper.
"Yeah, if we give them money, they should provide us with items or information." Killua whispered back to us.
"What if they don't and this is something like a mini side-quest just to test your nature?" I whispered back to them.
"It's a chance we have to take." Killua said back in a whisper. I nodded my head slightly as me and Gon stayed leaned into Killua's shoulder due to the two men still being very close to us. Gon turned his head back to the old man once more, furrowing his brows slightly as all the bandits looked at us with furrowed brows.
"Uh, how much do you need?" Gon questioned the older man.
"Eight thousand Jenny." The old man said to us, covering his mouth as he coughed into it. Gon turned his head slightly back to me and Gon, looking at us from the corner of his eyes.
"That's all we have left." Gon whispered to Killua. Killua dropped his top eyelids in annoyance as he looked at Gon.
"So they know everything about us." Killua whispered back annoyed.
"Um, I have enough to cover eighty thousand Jenny." The girl behind us said. Me and Gon sat up straight so that we could turn around to look at the girl behind us. She was smiling widely and pointed to herself, her other hand in her lap. Killua placed a finger over his lips, looking at her annoyed.
"Ah, could you shut up for a moment." Killua asked her, which only resulted in her looking at the three of us angrily.

Gon turned his head to the older man, a wide smile on his face as me and Killua looked at him with neutral expressions.
"Got it. We can give you eighty thousand Jenny." Gon said to him happily.
"Really?!" The old man questioned him.
"Thank you so much! You've saved my son's life! " The other guy said, covering his eyes with his arms as he cried into it. I guess we had made his day by Gon saying we'd give them the money.
"I'm c-cold… So cold…" The boy on lying on the floor spoke up, making me, Gon and Killua turn our attention to him. He was beginning to sweat, and still had his eyes closed. The man who spoke earlier leaned forwards onto his hands and knees and looked at his son wide eyed.
"Oh no! If his body gets any colder, he'll die before we can get him the medicine! If only we had some children's clothes! Some children's clothes!" The man said, his voice getting lower with sadness as he closed his eyes. Me, Gon and Killua looked at each other, wondering what to do. The three of us turned out attention back to the man.
"Um, I can give him my clothes." Gon said, pointing to himself with an awkward smile. The man suddenly got very close to me again making me lean my back, back into Killua's shoulder once more we looked at him wide eyed.
"That'd really be okay?" The man questioned us.
"You're like angels!" The older man said, tears in the corners of his eyes as he leaned close to Gon again, making Gon lean his back into Killua's shoulders once more to get away from him, staring at him wide eyed.
"Words are not enough…" The old man began saying as he trailed off, tears streaming down his face quickly.
"…To explain our gratitude!" The other man said with tears in his eyes as he furrowed his brows. The two backed off from us letting me and Gon sit up straight once more.
"Nah, we don't need thanks." Gon said to him as the three of us did our best to smile, all of us closing our eyes.
"How about some information or items?" Killua asked holding out his hand. We opened our eyes to see that the two men had backed away from us, making us look at them confused.

In the end, all three of us ended up giving our clothes to the men for his child, and all of our money. After all, we had agreed to it and it would have been rude to turn back on that. We stood up and quietly left the house, deciding not to say another word after losing everything to our name. Once we exited the house we were back to running away from the girl who was very persistent in following and joining us. We ran down the hill quickly, Gon and Killua in only their vest tops and shoes and I in only my training clothes, the night sky lit with stars and the moon being our only source of light.
"We got nothing?" Killua questioned angrily as we ran down the hill trying to keep our distance away from that girl; and to get to Masadora as quickly as possible.
"We lost our clothes, and now we're totally broke." Gon spoke up as we continued taking long strides down the hill.
"Not to mention we're still being followed." I said to the two, keeping my eyes in front of me so that I didn't trip and roll down the hill.
"Damn, they're mocking us." Killua cursed angrily.
"But once we get past this mountain, we'll find lots of monsters, right?" Gon questioned excitedly, a smile replacing the frown on his face.
"Yeah. If we beat them and turn them into cards, we can sell them for lots of cash." Killua said, the smile coming back to his face at the thoughts of us actually having money again.
"It'll be good experience on how to beat monsters as well." I said cheerfully to the two. Like I said earlier, one or two monsters I could deal with, a horde not so much; I just hoped that they didn't turn up in a horde.

We continued to run down the very long hill, I wasn't too sure how long the hill was, but I still couldn't see the bottom of it; so we must have been quite a bit off.
"We finally get to start fighting!" Gon said to Killua and me cheerfully as he looked at us from the corner of his eyes.
"Time to see what you two have got." Killua said, looking between the two of us.
"Ditto. I wanna see what you both accomplished during your secret training." Gon said to Killua as I nodded my head excitedly. We quickly turned the corner of the hill and ran straight ahead, hitting the bottom.

As we ran forward we slowed down to a stop at a cliff edge, the smiles vanishing from our faces as we looked out. The area was covered in little mountains, there didn't seem to be a straight forward path. I stepped forward and crouched down, balancing on the balls of my feet as I looked over the edge. There seemed to be a path down below, but like everywhere else it was extremely rocky.
"This area is rocky…" Gon said trailing off. The three of us looked at each other as I stood up. Gon and Killua smiled at each other making me look at them in question. They walked forward. Gon grabbed my shoulder and turned my around and then they grabbed a wrist each making me look at them in a panic, my mouth slightly gape as I turned my head quickly at the two of them. With that the two walked forward and then jumped off, taking me with them.
"Let's go!" Killua shouted as we fell towards the ground. I felt myself panic and gasped slightly until our feet touched the floor making us run once more. Gon and Killua let go of my wrists as we ran forward quickly. I didn't like falling, and the fall looked a lot higher than it actually was.

As we ran forward a group of one eyed giants came out from behind the mini mountains. I looked at them wide eyed and frowned widely as I tried my best not to be intimidated by them. Looking between Gon and Killua, they looked absolutely thrilled about the one eyed giants.
"There are tons of them!" Gon shouted happily. One of the giants walked forward and lifted up his club then threw it down towards us. Me and Killua jumped in one direction as Gon jumped high into the air. The two of us landed on the ground as Gon punched the giant square in the cheek, making him turn his head. Gon was then blown backwards and fell to the ground, a knee touching the rocky path. That was a strong punch, but it didn't look like it did anything to the giant.

Another one started coming towards me and Killua. I jumped away as that giant threw its club down and watched Killua jump high into the air. Killua landed on the arm of the giant and ran forwards, jumping into the air and kicking it straight into its eye. Killua jumped backwards as the giant held its head into the air and roared in pain, before vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"Gon, Mishka, aim for the eye!" Killua yelled over to us.
"Got it!" Gon yelled as he jumped up high to punch another one. I nodded my head quickly jumped out of the way from another giant throwing his fist towards me. I decided to take the same route as Killua and landed on the giants arm, my knees bent and ran up it, ducking as it tried swatting me off its arm. Once close enough to its head I quickly jumped towards to and brought my leg back, then swung it round hitting it in the eye with my shin hard. The monster stumbled backwards and vanished into smoke as I landed on the ground, a knee touching the dusty path. I quickly caught the card that fell from the sky and looked at it with curiosity. With any luck, this card would sell well so that we could get some money.

We carried on punching and kicking the giants in the eye for about three more minutes until the last one fell to the ground. The three of us stood beside it's head, Killua with his hands shoved into his pockets as I held my hands lightly behind my back and Gon with his loosely by his side.
"Weaker than they looked." Killua commented. I looked at Killua through the corner of my eyes, dropping my top eyelids.
"They were still huge and could easily have squashed us." I mumbled to him, and then turned my attention back to the giant, staring at it with curiosity once more.
"The card reverted after we left it alone for a minute." Gon commented. Killua lifted a fist into the air as he looked at me and Gon with pure determination.
"We can do this. The monsters come with weaknesses. If we stay calm and think, we'll be fine." Killua said to us as me and Gon turned around to face him properly. Killua dropped his hand back into his shorts pockets as he smirked at us, with me and Gon just smiling widely at him.
"Okay. Let's head for Masadora, then." Killua said as he turned on his heels to walk away from the monster.
"Yeah!" Me and Gon said at the same time, raising our fists into the air as we followed after Killua.

As we walked forward a giant purple frog appeared in front of us, destroying some of the mini cliffs. I dropped my hand to my side as Gon looked at it with a small smile and disbelief on his face. Killua didn't look amused about the frog being there. It growled and licked its lips as it looked at us with its giant yellow eyes. That's when we turned around quickly and ran away from the frog, screaming as we ran away from it.

We quickly ducked behind one of the cliffs and pressed our backs against the rocks, trying to keep out of sight from the frog. We heard it get closer before stopping and then moving on again. Once we saw the tail just from behind the rocks we sighed in relief and leaned forward, grateful it was now leaving us alone. The three of us heard a squeak and looked up from the ground.
"Huh?" We mumbled at the same time. In front of us with this giant black puffy ball thing on legs with a long tail that also had a puffy black ball on it. It squeaked at us again before jumping in the air and hitting Gon hard under the chin. Gon leaned back, nearly falling over as one foot lifted from the ground.
"Gon." Me and Killua said at the same time, looking at Gon wide eyed as he regained his composure and stood forward again, both feet pressed firmly against the floor.
"I'm okay. That didn't hurt. This one's weak." Gon said to us smiling widely, which only resulted in me and Killua looking at him questionably and wide eyed. The three of us looked up to the little black puffy thing on legs as Gon continued to smile widely at it. It suddenly jumped away from the rock it was sitting on and started jumping between the rocks we were standing between.
"But it's fast! Let's catch it!" Gon said to us as we tried to keep our eyes on it, wondering where it was or where it was going next.

We stood with our feet apart and hands apart near our chests as we moved our eyes trying to keep up with the black puffy creature.
"Damn it!" Killua cursed as he clapped his hands together, thinking he had caught it. Gon then clapped his hands together however was only whacked under the chin again. I then clapped my hands together and sighed to myself slightly, having not caught it as well. The three of us continued to clap our hands together at various points, trying to catch the fluffy black creature.

Soon we were back running; the little black fluffy creature had gotten away either from boredom or fright, which one I couldn't quite tell. The running was creating a very nice breeze, cooling us off slightly even though we were exercising hard.
"It got away from us." Gon said disheartened, but kept the wide smile on his face.
"Well, it won't take very long to reach Masadora if they're all this weak." Killua commented, smiling widely himself.
"We should hopefully get there by morning, maybe even sooner." I said to them, smiling widely myself.

We heard tapping on the ground; it sounded a lot like hoofs. The three of us stopped and looked at the bizarre creature standing in front of us. It had a horse body, but a wide open tube mouth, red jagged strike down its forehead and a very bushy yellow tail. It closed its mouth and then opened it, shooting blue and red bubbles at us.
"Bubbles?" Gon questioned as we looked at it strangely. The bubble began hitting us, and they did it a lot harder than we thought they would. We covered our faces with our arms as the bubbles hit our skin, making us close our eyes tightly as the bubbles exploded. We opened our eyes to find that the horse looking creature had disappeared.
"It's gone." Killua said quietly to us. He poked a bubble, making me and Gon look at him questionably. Killua turned his head back towards me and Gon.
"It's loud and generates a shockwave, but it doesn't do any damage." Killua said to us as he dropped his hand to his side. Gon lifted up a finger and poked a red bubble; however it just bounced away from him.
"When you touch them, the red ones don't pop." Gon said as it floated towards the rocky mini cliff. Once it touched it, it exploded with a loud bang making us jump slightly.
"Well, we should try and get to Masadora quickly." Gon said, turning his head towards me and Killua. The two of us nodded our heads allowing the three of us to take off running once more to get to Masadora.

Our journey was filled with lots and lots of strange and in way wonderful creatures. We ran from a giant worm with razor sharp teeth, box a floating purple box with one eye and tentacles, ran away from a swarm of bees and even punched and kicked a giant green blob.

We turned the corner of the path after deciding that punching and kicking the giant blob wasn't really working out for us. As we did we stopped instantly, coming face to face with a suit of armour wielding a sword and shield.
"This one looks tougher." Gon said as we stood with our feet apart, mentally getting ready for any sort of attack. It breathed heavily through the suit as we stared at it.
"Gyo!" Came a yell from behind us. The three of us turned our heads over our shoulders to look behind us. It was the girl that was following us before, I didn't realise that she was still following us; she was very persistent in joining us but why?
"Keep your eyes on it! Use Gyo! Don't you know how?" The voice continued yelling at us as Killua turned back around to stare at the suit of armour. Me and Gon turned around to face the armour again. We used Gyo, a glare on our faces. There was a white aura coming from the armours head.
"See that? The armours just a puppet, so attacks won't work against it." The girl shouted from behind us.

The armour lifted up an arm and swung it around, making me jump backwards away from it and Gon and Killua jumped away either side. Gon ran, deciding to follow the aura stream as me and Killua stayed, distracting the armour. We would have anyway, if it didn't fall to the ground in a crumbled heap. Gon came running back, a card in hand as well as his book out. He was smiling widely as he held the card out for us to see.
"I got the card!" Gon said happily to us as he began placing the card into his book.

The girl suddenly jumped down and landed a bit away from us. Me, Gon and Killua turned our heads towards the girl as she placed her hands on her hips, glaring at us.
"So you can use Gyo. Why didn't you use it before?" The girl questioned us. Me, Gon and Killua looked at each other as Gon dismissed his book.
"Uh, well…" Killua said trailing off in his sentence, furrowing his brows with an awkward smile.
"Yeah…" Gon said coming to the realization and keeping the wide smile on his face as he trailed off.
"Oops…"I said trailing off myself, knitting my own brows together.
"So you forgot." She said to us then lifted a finger in the air. We looked at her confused as she looked at us with a glare.
"Why are you just standing there? Gyo!" She said yelling at us, making the three of us look at her surprised and wide eyed. We leaned forward slightly and used Gyo, glaring at her finger.
"What do you see?" She asked us, keeping a hand on her hip and the other finger in the air. It looked like a number one made from aura.
"The number one." The three of us said at the same time.
"Good. Listen up. If I lift my finger, you us Gyo. And then you holler out what you see. If you ever sense anything suspicious, use Gyo. Got it?" She said to us then questioned us as she dropped her hand from the air and placed it back onto her hip, continuing to glare at us.

The three of us looked at her confused until Killua spoke up.
"Wait, why are you ordering us around?" Killua snapped at her. The girl raised a finger in the air making Gon instantly point at her finger with a smile on his face.
"The number five!" Gon said happily to her.
"Correct. Drop and give me two hundred push-ups." The girl said pointing to me and Killua. Me and Killua looked at her wide eyed and confused taken back by what she had said.
"It's your punishment! Get to it!" The girl said. I began squatting down and putting getting myself ready to do push-ups, decided that maybe it was better to listen to her, I mean if she got us to do push-ups as a punishment than what would be the punishment for not doing a punishment?
"What the hell? Why should I? Don't do what she says!" Killua yelled at her then at me, making me instantly stand up and clamp my hands by my sides, a confused look written all over my face. What was going?
"Got a problem?" The girl asked. Killua pointed at her as he placed a hand onto his hips, glaring at her.
"You bet! Who do you think you are?" Killua said to her angrily. The girl's glare lifted as she smiled widely at us.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm the pro Hunter Biscuit Krueger. I first learned Nen forty years ago. I'm going to use my wealth of knowledge and experience to coach you boys. You should be grateful." The girl, who introduced herself as Biscuit said to us, her smile turning into a stern look. I sighed slightly to myself and looked at Biscuit with furrowed brows.
"But I'm-" I began saying until Gon cut me off.
"Forty years ago?!" Gon yelled at her in surprise.
"You're an old hag!" Killua yelled at her only to be punched into the air away from us. I looked at where Killua was standing wide eyed before turning my head towards Biscuit, looking at her wide eyed. Gon looked at Biscuit wide eyed as she placed her hands on her hips, looking at the two of us with a slight glare and smile.

This was insane, what was going on?!
