Biscuit responds utterly confused "Although it's not unheard of. It has happened in the past. But, never this early."

I nod "A friend of ours has also achieved this but mines more on a forced, than controlled level... I could explain it... but, it will leave you utterly confused."

I hold out my hand, creating a shadow mask.

Biscuit smile "Oh~ a Shadow Manipulator... That's new and unexpected!"

I smile, putting the mask on.

"Also I kinda forgot about this... Killua, in my jacket is another mask..." I muse as Killua whines "So that's what was poking me..."

While wearing the mask, I face Biscuit "Through this!"

Biscuit replies "A mask...? A creepy one at that..."

I nod "What can I say I'm-"

Killua interjects "A sucker for creepy things."

I turn to Killua, looking back at Biscuit "What he said, now I have three abilities to choose from... Sloth, Greed and Lust! I'm gonna use Sloth. Biscuit you get to see how powerful it is."

Biscuit grins, cracking her knuckles "I'm gonna enjoy beating you to a pulp..."

I nod chanting "Activate! Path of the Seven Deadly Sins choice, Sloth!"

Biscuit tilts her head, looking at me "Oh~ So what you have? Unmatched strength? Unlimited aura...? Or maybe-"

"The ultimate defence..." I smile as Biscuit whines "Eh... You look weak..."

I lift a finger, smiling at Biscuit "Try to hit me as hard as you can... OLD HAG!"

Biscuit growls in fury "OLD HAG...? I'm gonna kill you!"

Biscuit charges me, slamming her fist into me. She grins as I whistle a turn "The~ Ultimate~ Defence~"

I smirk, yelling out loud "That couldn't be your best old hag! Maybe I should call you an old grandma... actually I like Grandma Hag-kun... it has a nicer ring to it... what you think?"

Biscuit seethes in anger, reading another punch "That's it! Your dead!"

I smile "Bring it... Grandma!"

Biscuit releases a flurry of strikes as I try to block most of them. Even though with the ability active, it makes the fight seem cooler.

With every new strike, she destroys some of the ground, releasing her fury.

I smile at Biscuit, waving my hand up and down, looking sassy while doing it "Told you! Getting through this is impossible..."

Killua and Gon fall over laughing as I pout "What's so funny?"

Killua responds almost out of breath "You looked really funny while doing that... I'm sorry..."

I pout at Killua "Whatever..."

Killua laughs again as I stop Biscuit from pummelling me any further "Hold on! I'm going to release the ability... And I don't really want to die..."

Biscuit pulls back her fist, pouting "You little snake!"

"Path of the Seven Deadly Sins, release!" I drop to the floor, panting heavily "Draw back number one... It uses a hell of a lot of my aura to fire it up. Draw back number two, it can't be used to protect others... It's designed for decoy mostly, having only a 15 minute run time, I can't use it to run and I move slower than a tank."

I slowly get up, hold out my hand "There's seven levels Bisky. Only four are in use Lust, Greed, Sloth and Pride. Pride being the deadliest, and the strongest weapon!"

Biscuit nods, thinking heavily on what I've shown her.

Biscuit puts on a smile "Well, after that demonstration. Let's take a break, then."

We turn to Biscuit as Killua speaks "Huh?"

Biscuit continues "It's a little early, but we can have a party."

Killua responds confused "A party?"

Biscuit responds "What do you boys do back home to celebrate?"

I respond "It depends for what..."

Biscuit smile cheekily "In the outside world, it's almost New Year's. Time flows at the same speed inside the game as outside."

I respond "Something's triggered at the back of my mind... I'm forgetting?! Something that has to do with..."

Gon remembers something "Oops!"

I look at Gon as I remember at the same time.

We retort together, getting close and personal with Killua "The deadline to apply for the Hunter Exam is coming up!"

Killua looks away, scratching his head in disappointment "And our training was just starting to get fun..."

Biscuit responds "I believe you're required to apply before the end of the year."

I freak "You were?... I didn't-Vastorie you sneaky bastard!..."

Biscuit looks amused at me "What did he do?"

I retort while shaking my hands to dismiss my last comment "Nothing... A lot of things... But none directed at my comment. I think he signed me up for the Hunter's Exam without my know how because I sure didn't..."

I turn to Biscuit "We need to hurry! One question... How do we get outside...?"

Killua thinks for a moment "I'm guessing there are spell cards to leave the game?"

Biscuit nods "In that case, let's head to Masadora."

We all lift our fists up in agreement "Agreed!"

Time Skip

We reach the town walking around as Biscuit speaks up "Well, let's find a place to have a drink."

Gon retorts "We can't... There's no time."

I nod "I agree with Gon, I don't care if I have to catapult Killua there! I will get him to sign up for the Hunter's Exam!"

Killua freaks out "Well let's ask around the stores. There's bound to be someone who knows something."

We hit up the information broker as Killua asks "Hey pops, is there any way to leave this island?"

The Information Broker responds "How to leave the island? That'll be 3,000 Jenny."

I grumble, paying the man. The Information Broker continues "If you go about fifty Kilometres west, you'll reach the island's only port. You must defeat or bribe the chief of that port to receive a ticket that will transport you outside."

I look at Killua and Gon "I could do that... how big are we talking though?"

The Information Broker responds "Depends on how the chief's feeling."

I sigh "Ah... it's one of those guys..."

The Information Broker continues "Your other option is to use a Leave spell card, but that's a rare one."

Gon looks at us "What do we do?"

I retort "The port is our best bet! Finding a rare card which is hard to find... Is not the best option for us!"

Killua nods "Let's head for the port. Like Daniel said, if it's wasn't a rare card, we could buy a bunch without finding one."

Gon nods "That's true."

Time Skip - Port

We stand outside the building "Is there such things as bind on pick up...?"

Killua responds "Huh?"

I look at Killua "If it bribe or deal with him, will the ticket be transferable?"

Killua shrugs "Probably not..."

I scratch my chin "In that case his all yours Killua..." Killua walks in the building.

We wait a couple of moments before hearing a massive electrical explosion in the building.

I see Gon and Biscuit look at each other confused.

As Killua walks out smiling, he holds up a card "Voilà. Well, I'll go pass the test real quick, and then hurry back."

Gon smiles "There are monsters called Kiriko that live beneath a cedar tree on the mountain behind Dolle Harbour. If you tell them you're my friend, they'll take you to the exam area."

Killua smiles at Gon "Okay, See ya."

As Killua turns around, I stand behind him, slapping him on the butt.

Killua turns around, pissed of at me "Hey, w-"

I cut him off with a kiss, seeing him fluster.

I pull back, smiling at him "Good luck!"

Killua turns around embarrassed "Yeah... Ah, sure!"

He takes the boat to a small island a little further from the main island as Gon and I wave good bye. B

iscuit smiles "Ok Lover boy, Gon! Then let's get back to training."

I glare at Biscuit "Stop that! Just because I care about Killua, doesn't mean you can use the lover boy remark on me... even if it's true!"

Biscuit pouts "Ok, Lover boy!"

I frown at Biscuit as I turn to Gon "How did you manage to befriend monsters?"

Gon responds "Oh back when I did the hunter exam. Kurapika, Leorio and I met some humans that were monsters in disguise. They tried to confuse us because they all look the same. But because they didn't fool me, I managed to guess who was who, and they befriended me..."

I think out loud "You really are weird befriending monsters... I think that's cool. I probably couldn't tell the difference if I met them..."

Gon smiles "Yeah!"

Biscuit frowns after I ignore her for a while "TRAINING starts now! Seeing as you and Gon are in different categories. I need to think of some training for Manipulator."

I nod at Biscuit "Ok..."

Biscuit continues "Until then you are going to be on standby!"

I frown at Biscuit as she turns to look at Gon with a smile "Let's go!"

Biscuit bolts off into the forest as Gon and I chase after her.

We catch up to Biscuit as she holds her finger, continuing to speak while she runs "This is going to be your Transmutation training Gon. While you're running you have to try to shape your aura on your index finger from 0 to 9 within an allotted time, remember to pay attention to what's in front of you."

Biscuit explains while she changes the number on her index finger "Okay, train while you run! When you can form the numbers from 0 to 9 in one minute, you'll clear this stage."

Gon focuses on his finger, creating the number 0 just before slamming into a tree.

Biscuit and I stop, turning around to face Gon as he yells "That hurt!"

Biscuit retorts "What are you doing?"

I respond smugly "What does it look like Bisky? Head butting trees... and obviously the tree is winning..."

A golden ball slams near us like the first time we came here.

The man steps up as I instantly recognise him from before "You're the guy that signed up with that group."

Bisky points at him "Aren't you... Abengane?"

Abengane interrupts Biscuit "Your other friend isn't here?"

I shake my head "Sorry, he just left."

Biscuit walks up to him "What's that machine on your shoulder? Did something happen?"

Abengane responds calmly "We were fooled by the bomber. Will you listen to my story?"
