Pouf flies towards me in rage as I swing my hand, taking off one of his eyes "You may be a clone, but you were formed from the original's cells."

Daniel swings his sword, missing Pouf as he flies around "You're not fighting one person you're fighting two people right now."

I grin "If I burn those cells, they die."

Pouf freaks out "Electricity..." I

glare at Pouf "Come on... I'll whittle you down. While Daniel over here will beat you to a pulp if you're not careful..."

Pouf suddenly splits, running away as I look confused at Daniel.

Daniel shakes his head from just being as confused as me.

Daniel's P.O.V

I look confused at Pouf escaping suddenly.

What... just happened?

It's like he suddenly needed to go to the toilet... or something...

"He gave up?"

I nod "Apparently so... Although it looks more like his late for something..."

I turn to face Komugi "So what have you done Komugi, to make you a target to Pouf... Maybe she does mean something to the King... But what exactly?"

Killua picks up Komugi as Palm interrupts us "Killua... Daniel... The King has arrived at the palace's entrance!"

Killua nods "Yeah."

Palm points in another direction "We should circle around, following the wall, and hide in the crowd."

I nod "Sounds like a plan."

Killua speaks up as we follow Palm "Okay. What about Gon and Pitou?"

Palm responds "They just entered the Peijing hiding place. They're walking down a hallway."

Killua looks at Palm "How does that crystal work now? You can also see Pouf and me in it?"

Palm nods "Yes, looking from a bit above. Wink blue uses my crystal ball to remember people seen through my right eye. Looking through only my left eye, I can watch those people's current positions in the crystal ball. At the moment, the crystal ball is simultaneously showing Gon and Pitou, Daniel, Killua and myself, as well as Pouf, the King, and Youpi. It's like watching a TV screen that's been split up. However, my right eye has only seen Pouf, you Killua, and Gon. So I can only see the others when they're around one of you. And I can only use my power to watch three people at once. If I see someone else with my right eye, I won't be able to see the oldest of the three targets, Pouf."

Killua questions Palm "I'm not sure you need to keep watching Pouf. If you can only see his main body, and his clones are scattered, it's probably more a minus than a plus."

I shake my head "If Pouf stays by the King's side, she can monitor him as well."

Palm nods "If I can only see his main body, that also means I won't be fooled by clones. And if his main body is only the size of a fly, I can literally crush him. Our chance to defeat Pouf is while he's divided. What greater plus is there?"

After a moments of silence, Killua looks up "Palm..."

Killua looks in my direction as Palm responds "Yes?"

"Thank you." Killua speaks up in embarrassment as Palm freaks out, slightly taken back "What? What's this? What are you thanking me for?"

Killua responds quickly "Stuff..."

I frown "That's leaving the doors wide open Killua..."

Palm looks confused at Killua "Stuff? Such as?"

Killua turns to Palm slightly peeved "Drop it! Stuff just means stuff!"

Palm frowns at Killua "What was that? It seems wrong to make me mad while you're thanking me!"

Killua looks straight ahead "Don't worry... I'll never say thanks again... Because now we're friends. I never say thanks to my friends."

Palm smiles after being shocked from Killua's comment.

Killua speaks up "Anyway, how's Gon?"

Palm responds shocked "Y-Yes, that's right..."

Palm covers her right eye, stopping in complete shock.

Killua stops as I look at her.

Killua speaks up "What's wrong?"

Palm yells "It can't be... What's going on?!"

I respond "Palm we can't see what you see! What is going on?"

Palm yells again "Why? What's going on?!"

Killua yells this time "What's wrong? What happened, Palm?"

"I don't know... I can only see what's happening... But something is wrong with Gon!"

I retort "What's with the suspense?! Just tell us already!"

"Pitou is healing itself, not Kite. And Gon is slumped on the floor next to Pitou."

Killua freaks out "Impossible... As long as she's in our hands, Pitou... Pitou has to obey us!"

I speak up "Unless she can't..."

Palm and Killua looks at me confused as I look at Killua "Remember what I said earlier... Well it looks like it's true... Kite's dead..."

Killua yells "What? What makes you say that?"

I look at Killua "I was suspicious of it when I first saw it... part of me wanted to hope it wasn't true. But, the more I think back on it... Kite showed no clear signs of being alive in the first place... The only problem is why did Pitou reveal that fact... In front of Gon and why is she healing herself, and endangering Komugi in the process..."

One of Pouf's clones interrupt us as we turn to face him "The tables have been turned. Pitou believes we have recovered Komugi. The way things are looking that Gon boy will be killed."

As Killua glares at Pouf.

"I am the only one who can stop Pitou. If you hand the woman over to me, I will stop Pitou..."

Killua activates Godspeed in anger, throwing Komugi up into the air and kills the clone of Pouf "Get lost, scumbag!"

Palm catches Komugi "Leave her to me. I swear upon these eyes that I will not let them have her."

Killua nods "Yeah, I'm counting on you. Come on Daniel let's go!"

I object "No... I'm staying behind..."

Killua growls "Why?"

"I'll slow you down..." I frown as I look down at the floor.

"Trust me I will deal with Pouf! I may despise Gon right now. But, his still a friend... Pouf is not lying I'm guessing he can change his body structure like my ability Envy... His manipulating all the facts. He doesn't want the King to find out about Komugi for some reason... I wanna know why! Only you can save Gon out of all of us... you're the only one who can..."

Killua nods "Okay... Speed of Lightning!"

Killua vanishes, running towards Gon.

I wait a moment before turning to Palm "Palm... Whether I die or not... I want you to lie to Killua and tell him I'm dead... I'm going to up and vanish after today dead or alive..."

Palm nods slightly disturbed "Why...?"

"Killua deserves better than me... Just leave it at that... Shall we get ready?"

As Palm nods, we continue to make our way around the Palace as Palm wraps her hair around Komugi, holding onto her.

Time Skip

Killua's P.O.V

Gon!... Wait for me to get there!

And Daniel don't do anything reckless...

I know your destroyed on the inside.

I bolt all the way to Peijing, moving as fast as my legs can take me to Gon.

When I reach the forest, that's when I hear an strange noise and a orange glow, followed by an earth shattering smash.

I look at the glow.

Which one of them is doing that?

I run even faster to the spot "Gon!"

I stop, frozen on the spot from scenario in front of me.

A large man is pulling his arm up to deliver slow, endless punches into the corpse of Pitou.

He delivers a final punch into Pitou's skull, smashing what's left of her face through the floor.

He slowly gets up "Kite... I finished the job, the way you taught me to. So..."

I realise that the figure standing before me is Gon, but before i draw any conclusions, I need to figure out if it's really Gon standing there.

"Gon, is that you?"

Gon turns to me with tears in his eyes "Killua..."

Bisky's appearance changed, but there wasn't a massive increase in the aura contained within her. And in Bisky's case, she was merely reverting to her original form.

But Gon's done the opposite!

How many years?

More than ten?

Decades?

This would have been the result of years of endless training.

What price did you have to pay to obtain so much aura?

The headless Pitou gets up as Gon ignores the ant. Far too infatuated with the blood on his hands to worry.

I run towards Gon as Pitou gets ready to strike.

I push Gon out of the way as his arm is ripped off by Pitou.

Gon stands there, completely unfazed from the whole scenario after has his arm ripped off.

He speaks softly "It's okay. It doesn't hurt. I'm not trying to be tough. I'm kind of happy... I finally get to be the same as Kite was back then."

I look at Gon destroyed from how much his changed "Gon..."

Gon turns around, punching the headless Pitou before grabbing his decapitated arm, pinning Pitou to the ground with it.

He holds Pitou's body in place "You can have my right arm. First comes rock..."

Gon begins to load endless amounts of aura into his Jajanken as I scream out "Gon! Stop, you can't! If you keep using this power, what will happen to you?"

Gon finishes the attack "Rock!"

Gon swings his fist, destroying the remains of Pitou as I scream "Gon!"

Gon smiles at me as an explosion knocks me off my feet back into the forest.

I quickly get up, running back to Gon as I find him on the floor inside a creator.

I pick him up as he smiles "Killua... I love you..."

Gon kisses me unexpectedly as I stay frozen to the spot.

Gon stops as he smiles at me "I've always wanted to say and do that..."

I cry in Gon shoulder as he massages the back of my head. I final speak up to voice my emotions "I can't love you like that..."

Gon nods "I know... "

I frown at Gon "I don't know why I'm attracted to him...? Even if he does stupid shit! Deep down... I'm in love with him and, I want to tell everyone. Even if I'm embarrassed... Even if my family wants to kill him, or hates me for the rest of my life!... He means that much to me now... I want... I want to tell him that!"

Gon smiles "I never really stop a chance against him... I thought I might try one last time..."

Gon passes out as I shake him "Don't do this to me don't leave me! Get up you idiot!"

Gon slowly reverts to his original size as I pick him up, carrying him "If you die on me I will kill you! You're my best friend...!"

I start to make my way back, walking aimlessly to the others.

Daniel's P.O.V

I freak out as I feel a rush of aura wrap around me while the voice screams in my head "YES! THAT'S IT THE ONE I SEEK! He will be my first and then next I will remove all ties!"

The area lights up like all the lights were turned on in a dark room.

Palm looks towards the King's location as I grit my teeth.

She starts to run as I follow after her "What happened?"

Palm speaks up "Unbelievable... Such tremendous aura... Meleoron and Knuckle are dead. No, they're still alive. they were only knocked unconscious... Where's Gon? Killua's carrying him... It looks like they're both fine... And Gon's hair is... Long? Is it someone else? No, those are the only two figures in my crystal ball. That is Gon! Something must have happened when I wasn't watching. Where's Pitou? In any case, don't come back here... Please!"

I nod "Let's hope not..."

Palm continues "Pouf is spreading scales on the citizens... Are they poisonous? It would help me more if he'd stay near the King. In any case, he's on the palace's opposite side. We must get as far from our previous location as we can... After that En wave, I immediately used Wink Blue, and the King appeared next to Pouf carrying Knuckle and Meleoron. Only a few seconds had passed! Next, he will purse Ikalgo or us. The King could be standing behind us at any moment... We have to hurry and get farther away... Before the King uses En again!"

Palm turns, running into the courtyard straight towards the underground entrance "We have to go in there! If we're crossing the plain when he uses En, I won't be able to escape! If we're deep underground, perhaps his En won't reach."

I interject "But that means we would also be trapping ourselves..."

Palm retorts "Should we escape outside the palace, and hope that the King doesn't make a move for a while? There's no reason to expect him not to!"

Palm stops to open the entrance "What should we do? What is the right decision?"
