Tsezgerra responds shocked "So that was the plan?"
One of the step in players freak out "I'm against this... If we have to field eight, you need one more!"
Another one freaks out "I'm not fighting that guy!"
One of the others backs away slowly "I'm leaving now..."
Barry interjects "Once the match begins, you can deliberately let yourself be hit-"
One of the five interjects "Screw that!"
Another one responds "Didn't you see that? If he hits us with that ball, we're dead!"
Razor responds "Oh, just so everything is clear, we'll be using a normal ball... but with Nen, it's just as strong as the Nen projectile I launched earlier."
The five members look like they are about to run "This is crazy... I'm out of here!"
Another player responds "Sorry, but I don't want to die yet..."
Killua interjects "H-Hold on! We'll think of something real quick."
Gon retorts "We'll do this by ourselves."
We all look over to Gon as he continues "If our lives are on the line, we should only field willing players. Do you have a problem if we only field seven?"
Razor responds "Yes, actually, I can't let you do that... You will have to field eight members. Otherwise, why ask you to recruit fifteen?"
Gon looks sternly at Razor "Saying this to an in-game character is probably pointless, but wasn't Bopobo one of your allies? What did he do to deserve death?"
Razor responds "Burglary-murder and rape-murder. Eleven confirmed counts alone."
Hisoka responds "This is the real world."
Tsezgerra thinks out loud "This place, Greed Island, is located somewhere in the real world. This game takes place in the real world."
Killua, Gon, Biscuit and Goreinu freak out.
Hold on! Hold on! Then how the hell does this book system work?
Tsezgerra continues "Revealing that information to a player who believes they're inside a game is a taboo. Bopobo was executed for breaking that taboo. This guy, Razor, is a Game Master, a real human."
Gon responds confused "Game Master?"
I respond "Basically they are the bad asses around these parts. They enforce the rules..."
Tsezgerra continues "Also one of the people who made this game."
Gon freaks out "Huh? Wait, then..."
Gon turns to Razor as Tsezgerra continues "Bopobo and the other pirates are real death row criminals. Now only did he disobey orders; he attempted to instigate an escape. Execution was a fair consequence."
Gon freaks out "This is the real world?"
Hisoka responds firmly "That is correct."
Killua responds "I never noticed."
I scratch my head confused "Same here..."
Biscuit interjects "I hadn't even considered that."
As Razor bounces the ball to catch our attention, we look at him.
Razor continues to bounce the ball as he speaks "Well, it doesn't really matter. Since this island is still isolated from the rest of the world."
Gon interrupts Razor "Wait a sec. If this is the real world, does that mean Ging is here, on Greed Island? Ging?"
Razors face softens after being in shock from hearing his name.
I retort "Hey didn't you say that Ging said he wasn't here?"
Gon responds slightly shocked "Ah..."
Razor interrupts us "Ah... so you must be Gon."
Gon nods "Yeah."
Razors aura flares up as he looks at Gon "I was instructed not to go easy on you by your old man."
Gon freaks out, smiling at Razor in fear.
I muse "Gon, your father must really be trying to get you killed..."
One of the five members yells "I've had enough... I don't wanna die!"
He runs away as another one responds "Count me out! I'm gone!"
The four remaining run out of the room with their tails between their legs as yell sarcastically respond sarcastically "No don't run..."
Goreinu interjects "It's okay, let them leave."
Rodriot turns to Goreinu "But we can't have a match!"
Goreinu retorts "I'll count as two."
Goreinu summons a white gorilla behind him, turning to Razor "You're doing the same thing, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Razor nods "Yeah, that's fine. Now it's eight on eight. I'll explain the rules. The game starts with one outside player and seven inside. The first team to run out of inside players loses. Any player inside the court who's hit by a ball thrown by an opponent is out, and must move outside. However, you may bring one player inside the court again by saying Back. And if the ball hits an area outside the court, without any players, the opposing team gets the ball."
Razor exchanges glances between us "Now, the important stuff... The rules regarding hits employ a cushion effect. For example, if I throw the ball and it hits opposing player A, ricochets, and hits opposing player B before hitting the floor, both A and B are out."
I interject "But if player B in that scenario is able to catch the ball, player A is safe, right?"
Razor nods "Exactly."
I responds "It's like normal dodge ball... except we can die!"
Razor grins "But if I throw the ball and it hits opposing player A, ricochets, and hits my teammate, player C before hitting the floor, Only player C is out."
Goreinu interjects "Then if player C catches the ball, does that mean player A is out?"
Razor nods "Indeed."
Gon is about to pass out from information overload, steaming up "Uh..."
Razor asks us "Do you have a question?"
Killua asks Razor "If an outside player hits someone with the ball, is the hit player out?"
Razor nods "Naturally, they're out. But only one player can return to the court using Back."
Razor throws the ball to another Nen creature Razor had summoned with the number 0.
It speaks up "I am Number 0, the ref. Let's have a clean game. We will now begin the game."
We move into our positions as Goreinu places his summon Nen creature on the outside, behind Razor's team. This leaves Goreinu, Hisoka, Biscuit, Gon, Tsezgerra and myself on our side of the field.
Killua stands in the middle with Devil number 6.
Devil number 0, the referee speaks up "Ready... Go!" Devil 0 throws up the ball as Killua jumps up hitting the ball to Goreinu.
Killua looks confused as Razor responds "You can make the first move."
Goreinu looks at Razor "You sound quite confident. Here's a little greeting, then!"
Goreinu throws the ball, knocking out Devil 4.
The ball bounces hitting the floor.
Killua yells excitedly "You got him!"
Goreinu fist pumps "Yes! That's one down!"
Goreinu's gorilla throws the ball back to Goreinu "Good!" Devil 4 moves around to our side. Goreinu continues to smile "Let's keep this up. There!"
Goreinu throws the ball, knocking out Devil 5 as his gorilla catches the ball like last time.
Kess exclaims "Okay, that's two down! Oh, this is easy."
The gorilla throws the ball back to Goreinu.
Razor grins "Okay, all ready to go..." Goreinu responds confused "Huh? What did you say?"
I retort "It means don't get cocky and make your next moves carefully."
Razor responds "I'm prepared to defeat you now."
Goreinu grins "Heh, that's funny."
Goreinu fills the ball with Nen.
As his about to throw the ball, he yells "Show us what you've got!"
Goreinu launches the ball at Razor. He catches it with one hand as the group stands there in shock.
I sigh in frustration, yelling at Goreinu "DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO ME! I said don't get cocky!"
Goreinu looks shocked "H-He stopped it with one hand?"
Razor grins "Right, then... Time to launch the counterattack."
Razor fills the ball with purple Nen.
He throws the Ball straight at Goreinu.
Goreinu freaks out, yelling "White Goreinu!"
Goreinu switches places with his white gorilla as it gets smacked in the face with its head, getting destroyed.
The ball bounces back as Razor catches it "Nice rebound."
Killua looks slightly shocked "Goreinu's outside the court!"
I nod "His lucky.. If that hit him he would have been dead..."
Razor turns around to face Goreinu "I see... you have the ability to change places with your Nen beasts."
Killua turns around to the referee "Goreinu's Nen beast is the one that's out, right?"
Devil 0 nods "Yes, the exchange was preformed with Nen, so it broke no rules. However, Back must be used to bring Goreinu inside the court."
Razor turns back around as his ready to throw the ball "All right, let's move on!"
Razor throws the ball, passing it to Devil 5.
We move around as Devil five passes it to Devil 1, who passes it to Devil 4, who then passes it back to Razor.
They continue to pass it in the same sequence as I close my eyes, using my Nen field to spot where the ball is, seeing as I can't keep up with the ball.
Devil 4 throws it as I open my eyes, turning to Tsezgerra.
Killua and I yell together "Tsezgerra!"
Gon yells "Behind you!"
Tsezgerra gets hit in the back, getting slammed into the floor, knocked almost unconscious.
Killua grabs the ball as he freaks out.
Razor speaks up slightly impressed "He focused his aura in his back, and avoided a lethal blow."
Razor turns to the pirates off the field "Hey, patch him up."
Tsezgerra gets up "I-I'm fine... don't touch me."
Devil 0 responds "If a player is unable to continue playing, they're disqualified. They won't be allowed to play in or outside the court, so keep that in mind."
Tsezgerra sits outside the field as Killua bounces the ball.
Gon speaks up "Hisoka..."
Hisoka responds nonchalantly "Okay, give me the ball."
Killua passes him the ball.
Hisoka catches it, throwing the ball to knock out Devil 3. He uses his bungee gum next, retrieving the ball back instantly.
Hisoka grins "Now, do try to entertain me. Surely this isn't everything you have."
Razor grins chuckling lightly "Very well..."
I hear Kess outside the field yell "Okay, that's three down!"
Rodriot responds "With Back, the other team still has five players!"
I grin lightly thinking "At least with Hisoka's ability we can stay on the offensive for a while."
Killua speaks up to the referee "Question for the ref. Can the last player inside the court use Back at the second he's hit?"
Devil 0 responds "That's not allowed. For a moment, there would be zero players in the court, so the team would lose. But someone outside the court may use Back at the instant that the last player is hit."
Killua nods "Okay."
Killua whispers "Hisoka..."
Hisoka nods without having to hear what Killua has to say "Yes, I understand. We leave him for last."
Hisoka throws the ball straight towards 6 as Biscuit smiles "Nice and Strong!"
Killua smiles "If we're lucky, we can take out six and seven at the same time!" 6 and 7 suddenly merge, creating number 13.
It catches the ball with ease.
I look confused "They can combine?"
Hisoka tries to pull the ball back, failing "You're strong."
Hisoka lets go of his bungee gum, letting go of the ball as Killua yells at the referee "IS THAT ALLOWED?"
I respond "Most likely, seeing as it's an ability revolving Nen..."
Devil 0 nods "Indeed it is." Killua retorts "If you're allowed to combine are you allowed to split?"
Devil 0 responds "Yes, but you cannot surpass the maximum number of players on the court."
Razor grins as Devil 13 hands him the ball "Now! It's my turn to attack again."
We step back to the edge of the court as Gon speaks up "Now we have to retake the ball again."
Killua continues "If we're going to stop his ball..."
I nod at the Killua and Gon "Let's do this!"
Killua , Gon and I retort "Ken!"
Our aura flows around us, raging peacefully.
Razor looks slightly surprised and impressed "Oh... So you know how to use Ken. That means you won't die. However... That assumes you aren't hit in the wrong spot."
Razor loads up the ball with more Nen than last time "Here I come, Gon!"
Razor opens his eyes, glaring at Gon, trying to try freak him out.
Gon gulps retorting "Bring it on!"
Razor launches the ball straight at Gon.
Gon moves his hands to cover his forehead as he changing straight to Ko just as the ball hits him straight in the forehead.
The force of the ball sends Gon flying straight out of his shoes, sending him flying into the wall behind him.
The impact sends the ball straight into the roof above us.
I turn to look at Gon as Killua yells "Gon!"
We run to check up on Gon as Biscuit yells "ARE YOU OK?"
Gon stands up, bleeding from his forehead "I'M JUST FINE!"
Killua frowns, retorting back "The hell you are..."
Gon responds "I used Ko to harden my arms and head, but my legs couldn't take the impact. However..."
Blood drops from Gon's forehead "Next time, I'll catch it!" He smiles soon after, as if he just found a new challenge he wants to overcome.
I turn to Killua "Uh oh... It looks like that time again... Gon wants to get himself killed again!"
Killua retorts "Like your one to talk!" I huff as small noise of complaint, not even attempting to defend myself.
