After Gon finishes his conversation with Razor, we make our way quickly to the NPC so we can obtain the final card.

The female NPC leads us to the location.

Time Skip

She stops in front of a large window "This is the place."

Biscuit responds confused "A window?"

I interject "Technically we are in a tower, overseeing the beach..."

Tsezgerra nods "We can see the shore from here."

I didn't see Goreinu enter as he speaks up "How do we reach the sea God's Grotto from here?"

The NPC points to a block "Push it." Killua nods as he pushes the block in and feels around.

We hear a click as the light house turns on, pointing to a specific spot on the Ocean.

The NPC speaks up "Directly below the point on the surface the light points to. There's a grotto down there. But there isn't any treasure there. I'm sorry I deceived you."

Goreinu looks confused "Really?"

The NPC nods "It's a sacred cavern, so only a few fishermen know the location. All other stories you heard were rumours made up by others. Including the stories of treasure. But Razor and his gang wouldn't believe us."

As Gon looks caught off guard, she continues "Those who make their living on the seas can never defile it. So they said before they were all killed taking the secret with them."

I'm confused "Hold on... Now I'm confused?"

Killua interjects "You get that this a story in a game, right?"

I respond "Really, can't they just implement a skip button?"

The NPC smiles as she sits on the window, still overlooking the sea "I can finally see the ocean again from here. The sunrise... The boats returning with their hauls... The water sparking in many colours. In my mind, this view is the true treasure."

The room explodes in smoke as Gon picks up the card.

I speak up "Patch of Shore... The entrance to an underwater cavern known as the sea God's Grotto. The cavern changes every time you enter. A cheesy story for a extremely hard to obtain card... what a disappointing ending."

Gon objects "Yes! We got Patch of Shore!"

Killua interjects "Let's use clone to make two copies."

Goreinu speaks up "We're fine with taking the copies."

I lift up my hand, motion to the others "This isn't the end of the game yet..."

Tsezgerra nods "Yes, you've earned the right to the original."

Hisoka takes his leave as Gon stops him "Hisoka, you really don't want anything?"

Hisoka turns around ,stopping at the stairs "No, it was quite fun."

Killua speaks up "Why don't you join us?"

I interject "Are you sure you want Hisoka to join us?"

Killua turns to me, making sure his away from Hisoka's eye sight "I'm pretty sure."

Killua winks at me as I catch the signal, showing no emotion "Alright... I trust your judgement."

Hisoka retorts "I'm not interested in collecting cards. Should anything else come up, use Contact to reach me. I'll use Accompany or Magnetic Force to come at once."

Killua has a sudden realisation as I speak softly "How does he know about Magnetic Force... we never spoke about that card."

Killua freaks out "Huh? That liar!"

Gon looks confused at us, changing his focus between Killua and myself "Huh?"

Killua turns to Gon "We haven't used Magnetic Force at all since Hisoka joined, right?"

As Gon looks more confused at Killua, Killua continues "That means he already knew about spell cards before he ran into us!"

Gon takes a step make, completely taken back "Huh!"

Biscuit interrupts us "Killua, there are liars who only lie when there's a reason to, and there are liars who also lie without a reason. You and I are the former. He is the latter."

Time Skip

As we leave Soufrabi, Biscuit pouts "You won't get anywhere by fretting over it."

I respond smugly "Which liar am I then?"

Biscuit retorts "Both! You can lie about lying!"

I frown "Wouldn't that mean I was telling the truth?"

Biscuit opens her mouth as Tsezgerra book beeps "Another player has used Contact to reach you."

We hear a voice through Tsezgerra's book "It's been a while. Do you know who this is?"

We all freak out as I grit my teeth.

Tsezgerra responds "Genthru? What do you want?"

Genthru responds calmly "First, I'd like to congratulate you."

Tsezgerra retorts "What are you talking about?"

Genthru laughs "Don't bother playing dumb. I promise to spare your lives. In return, hand over Patch of Shore."

Tsezgerra retorts "Don't be ridiculous!"

Genthru laughs again "Well, I am somewhat interested to see if you can beat us. If you're willing to deal, come alone to Masadora's entrance in one hour. If you don't, we'll take the card by force. You cannot escape us. We have many copies of Accompany."

We all grit our teeth in anger as Genthru drops some names "Asta, Amana, Manhiem, Nick Cue, Souheil, Kazsule... They were all members of your party of fifteen. Isn't that right? Check your binder. They're no longer with us."

Gon checks his Book "This means they're either dead or no longer in the game... GENTHRU!"

Genthru retorts "Who are you?"

Gon responds quickly "Gon Freecss! I'll take you on!"

I retort "You idiot! Why did you have to drop you name like that!"

Genthru responds slightly confused "Gon? So you're one of those four kids. It appears you have Lucky Alexandrite. Once I'm done with Tsezgerra, I'll come for you. Or do you want to give up the card now?"

Gon yells into the book "You come here this instant! I'll fight you! I also have-"

I swiftly chop Gon's neck, knocking him out.

Genthru speaks up "Have what?"

I interject "Has no brains! So don't mind him..."

Killua speaks up "Tsezgerra, can you move somewhere else?"

Time Skip

Tsezgerra ends the conversation as he makes his way back to us "That was a close one..."

I nod "One second... let me just wake up Gon."

I smack Gon on a part of his body as he gets up "Patch of the Shore!... huh? What happened? Where's Genthru?"

I turn to Tsezgerra "You may take the conversation again."

Tsezgerra sighs "You kids scare me... Genthru doesn't know your strength. So he believes that we are carrying the original Patch of Shore. They want the original card... they want our card. We'll try to buy as much time as possible. Use that time to regain your strength. If you want to beat this game, you'll have no choice but to fight them. And you are the only ones with a chance to win. But, Gon..."

Tsezgerra takes a deep breath, focusing on Gon "Just now, your actions were both selfish and foolish. If they'd accepted your challenge and came, what would have happened to Killua, given his injuries?"

Gon looks down as I interject "I would have grabbed Killua and used an Accompany to move us to Hisoka. I'm pretty sure they have not met Hisoka..."

Killua retorts "Baka! They've met us so they could just use an accompany card to one of us..."

I respond "Right... well I failed at that plan."

Tsezgerra laughs at my stupidity, returning to a serious manner "You endangered not only yourself, but your friends too, by losing control of your emotions!"

Killua turns to me as I frown "I know..."

Gon sighs "I'm sorry."

Tsezgerra continues "Very well. It will all come down to Accompany. If we evade their use of Accompany, we should be able to buy plenty of time. But if too much time passes, they may decide to switch and target you. I estimate we have a one-week limit. Past that, we can't make guarantees."

Killua looks down as I grab his arm, causing him to look in my eyes.

Goreinu interrupts us "I'll go with Tsezgerra. What about you guys? If we're buying you time, that implies we have an alliance."

Tsezgerra interjects "No wait! There is little benefit from an alliance with them. The enemy already knows the eight of us have teamed up. So we won't be able to act as decoys while you take out Genthru. That means leaving the original versions of the last two cards they seek, #2 and #75, with anyone party would be dangerous. So my offer to buy time isn't an alliance. I'm offering a deal."

Gon responds confused "A deal?"

I nod "Yeah you know we give them something and they give us something back in return."

Tsezgerra responds "Three weeks... That's the amount of time we can buy. If we succeed, will you give us #75, Lucky Alexandrite?"

Killua looks as confused from the deal as am I "That doesn't make sense. You just said one week was the limit."

Tsezgerra interjects "That's assuming we stay on the run. If necessary, I can force a stalemate of sorts."

Killua responds calmly "I see. But for #75, we could just tell you how to obtain it."

Tsezgerra interjects "No, we already know how. But Goreinu and the rest of us have few empty slots left. It's no longer reasonable to turn all our cards over to the villagers. Three weeks. That isn't enough time for Killua's hands to heal. And it certainly isn't enough to close the gap between Genthru's abilities and ours."

Killua grins "Which means we should use the time to come up with a plan."

Tsezgerra nods "Exactly. Devise a scenario in which you can defeat Genthru. Identify the required circumstances, and prepare to carry out that plan."

We share glances between each other as Gon speaks up "Got it."

Tsezgerra speaks up " Good... We'll leave to delay Team Genthru now. Keep this in mind, Gon... They've already killed over fifty players in this game. If you want to beat the game, you'll have to fight them."

We nod at Tsezgerra as he leaves the group, leaving just Biscuit, Gon, Killua and I to talk amongst ourselves.

Biscuit speaks firmly to us "Three weeks... That isn't much time."

I sigh "We take what we can get..."

Biscuit nods "Killua, you focus on healing and thinking of a plan to defeat Genthru."

Killua nods "Right."

Biscuit turns to Gon and I "Gon, Daniel, your training with me. Gon, the first necessity is that you be able to avoid his Little Flower."

Gon nods "Osu!"

Biscuit turns to me "Daniel we need to work on your bait and trap. If we can create a trap for Genthru, you could also help in making sure Gon is focused on his goal... to defeat Genthru."

I nod, sighing "So basically I'm the fall to guy... lovely."

Killua sighs "Well unless we come up with a plan... we need to somehow work you in to the fight. Although your strong most of your abilities are decoys with the exception of two, one which you will not use."

I nod "True... But I still have some empty slots in the 7 Deadly sins, which I'm yet to figure out... What type of conditions could I use, and then training them is the pain in the ass..."

Killua nods "I would help you but I have to formulate a plan."

I smile at Killua "I let you know what I come up with. If you can work it into your plan, don't hesitate to notify me."

Training begins for the next few days as Killua and I, watch Biscuit and Gon have a sparring match.

I peer over to Killua, seeing him focused on his hands, looking rather glum.

I sigh "What's the matter Killua?"

Killua sighs "I just wish I could do more than what I'm doing right now..."

I respond "You wanna massage my back?"

Killua glares at me as I smile "Come on Killua I'm trying to cheer you up... it's a failed attempt. But at least it's an attempt."

Killua sighs as he looks away.

I frown, sneaking up behind him, lifting him up to sit him in-between my legs.

Killua growls "Hey what you doing?"

"Trying to make love to you in front of Biscuit and Gon."

Killua freaks as I continue "It's a lame joke!"

Killua responds with a slight blush "I can feel it through my pants... So, it sounded like a real possibility..."

I freak out, using one hand to scratch the back of my head "Well... ah... I've got nothing."

Killua chuckles at my poor excuse.

Even though Killua smiles for a short time, I smile at the achievement "I made you smile!"

I kiss him on the check, continuing on "Killua you've got the hardest job out of all of us... Creating a plan that revolves around all our abilities. I trust your ability to come up with a plan that we can pull off and win."

Killua smiles slightly as I quickly kiss his cheek again "I love seeing you happy! It makes me happy."

Killua smiles widely as I continue "It also makes you look sexy and cute at the same time."

Killua turns to me as I quickly rob is lips, only to have him quickly turn away in embarrassment.
