Hello! I am glad for one thing that you are reading this author's note. But I needed to say that I've edited this chapter. I didn't want to change the story, so I made it as close as I can (that part was for people who have already read this chapter before it was edited.) I've learned better, so I needed to describe stuff more.

If you want, read BFF Game Night, the other version. Maybe you will find out what could happen if you read it or if you want to know of an idea of the future to this.

So there you have it. Go and enjoy this story.


Arc One: Scrambling Your Way Out

Chapter 1 EnemyXFriendXGame

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The game turned on, buzzing itself to the home screen. A finger dragged over to move the white light surrounding the rectangular icon. A button was pushed, sending a message to the JoyStation to turn to game screen to its actual game, and not the home screen where you did pretty much nothing on.

"Welcome Back," the message up top greeted. "Now Playing: Killua Zoldyck."

The young assassin boy moved his fingers all over the controller, doing all this and that, fiddling with the game.

"I'm coming in," the spiky haired, raven haired teen announced, playing around with his controller.

"Now Playing: Gon Freeccss," the screen continued with it's words, spreading and covering the top of the screen. "Welcome to Kibō Island."

The land of wishes and requests, dreams, visions, stories, and game life, with its programs, and characters, including players and created computers that were programed.


"Time to send him in," the computerized girl evily smirked at the screen. "Get ready to be in my world forever." Her fingers scrambled to each letter, pushing down gently.

"Sending in Killua Zoldyck. Shock mode attack."

She slowly lifted her finger towards the enter button and slowly placed her pointer finger on it. From there, the button was pushed and her dark blue eyes set on the screen of cameras where she could watch different people.

"Welcome young Zoldyck."


In the series of moments, while he was fiddling around with the game and his control, his Ren activated around his hands, and his eyes saw blackness. There wasn't a wall near to find a door or window, and no floor to stand on, and no ceiling to be beneath. He hung from chains, no ordinary chains. He could just break them, and obviously he did, but nothing would budge, and not crack would form.

"No. No. Don't try to leave. You won't be able to break through. These are no ordinary chains. These chains are made out of nen. The substance used is a large amount of aura, so it will be impossible to get out even with your amount of strength. But don't worry. I won't kill you or anything. I have no desire to kill you, at least yet, maybe not. But I only wanted to tell you this, before the memory of this day is gone forever. The difficult, unpredictable things that will happen to you and your friend, will be unbearable, such as what you will see in the future," a mysterious voice went through his head. The unfamiliarized girl, which if was, got closer. He could feel the presence of her, every bit of her. "Welcome to Kibō Island. You're journey awaits." Then the cold hand of hers, went on his forehead, and an orangish-yellow light appeared, showing the color of her light brown hair, bringing the longness of it. "Hush now. Sleep well." In the matter of time, his eyes closed shut, after seeing no color in her eyes.

Finally they opened after only a few seconds, revealing the warm water of the river he laid by, and the small gusts of wind blowing around cheefully, along with the shivers that entered him.


Back at the hotel room, where they had been in, Gon was actually paying attention to his side, unlike Killua, he didn't even bother looking to the right because of how distracted he was. But Gon noticed his friend gone, and looked around to see if he went somewhere real quick or something.

First of all, he checked the probably most obvious place, the bathroom, but no one was in. The door to it was even opened. Then the closet, if for some weird reason, he had been in, but no one again. The bed, well underneath, no one. Not even the hallway where no being laid inside. It was empty, the quiet, peaceful hallway completely empty. Of course no one would be inside. It was 1:06 in the morning, in which everyone was asleep, except for him and Killua, who was still missing somewhere.

It was the strangest thing, having him disappear like that. The feeling of being alone, the worriness in him was felt.

But standing there wouldn't do anything. Maybe he would return, so play on was all he could do.

And yes he returned to the game, and continued playing. The other controller was still in use, and the words 'Now playing: Killua Zokdyck' were still on. Usually he would save before leaving, but this time, no he didn't.

And because Gon knew, he turned off the game, and proceeded by turning it back on. But again, the name appeared. That was strange too. Maybe it was because he didn't log out. But even trying to log out wasn't working. It wouldn't let him log out for some reason.

The little green light flashed, snapping back in forth to on and off.


"Welcome," her moodiest tone glimmered. The screen light gleamed at her face, glowing a whiter color. "I'll see you soon."

Then with a push of a button, she disappeared in a flash, sending herself into a town, sitting on a bench, waiting.


He held back onto the controller, after setting it back down. A thought came to him. He touched the other controller, the one Killua used, and felt hints of aura, and using Gyo, he noticed those hints, which were or was a small coating of Killua's nen. Now that got him suspicious.

"Message! Message!" The screen up top, flashed a note. Noticing, and clicking on it, a note shown, a message.

"You may have noticed something or someone missing. If you would like to get what you are missing, who you are missing back, come inside. There, you can get what you need. But I can't say you will get back alive or with your memory of this back. It's your choice to chose. Enter the game with nen. That's the only possible way." It was hostile, chosing to bring his friend in, and forcing him to go in and figure his way out. He nodded to himself, activating his nen, using most of it with his Ren on his hands.

The anonymous message wasn't all. And besides finding his way out, there were other consequences to be revealed and hopefully determined.

The urge in the girl's head, made her smirk. All the ideas she had that she hoped would come true, just had to be if she fit them in at once, with all her actions, and no mistakes.

'Now it's time to start. Let the game begin!'


The sudden bluriness in his eyes approached, sending messages to his brain to confuse it, confuse it in a way to change his eyesight.

"Where...am I? Or at least why can't I see anything, but fades of white light?" It was more like a cream color, with the mixtures of every object in front of his eyes. "Why do I fell wetness?" He lifted his arm, feeling drops of water jump off in seconds. He gently touched the spot where his arm had been, feeling water, well, at least he hoped.

The wind hit him instantly, like a peice of wood.

"...n..."

"Huh." Somehow his ears were muffled, and even his hearing was blury. But soon it came back.

"Gon!"

"Ki...ll...ua." Now his voice was muffled, he could barely even hear himself, except for the thoughts in his mind.

"Gon?! Did you hear me?"

Obviously he could hear, and he was able to speak, but Killua, as it seemed to him, couldn't hear the muffled voice.

He cleared his throat, but nothing would clear. There wasn't anything stuck in his throat; another strange thing.

"Yes...but where are you?"

'It should clear up in a few days if it hasn't stopped yet.' He sighed, kicking him lightly, not to hurt him, and instead to show him where by feeling the movements. And sniffing could work. That was one reason why he could tell it was Killua. The stinch or smell he had, was recognizable, and the voice also gave the biggest clue.

"I know where you are, but I don't know why I can't see anything." He scrunched up, holding his legs tightly.

"Worry about this later. Where are we anyway?"

He bit his lip in response. "The game," he mumbled.

"Are you sure? The features do seem similar, but that still doesn't mean..."

Think of Greed Island. You could enter with nen. But it wasn't the type of game that you could play outside. This one was different. You could play inside and outside. But being outside, you couldn't preform nen and if you tried by using nen on your hands, to see if it would work then, you would make a mistake by going inside.

"I don't see how this could be possible, but I entered by using Ren. You must've not realized it or something," Gon continued.

"Then how do you suggest we leave?"

That...he didn't know. You couldn't do the reverse by using Ren again. For one thing, the game didn't contain controllers, which was the only way in, and there wasn't any type of doorway. There was probably no way to get out if you couldn't think of anything. It would be possible if you did know, and you just couldn't do it. Then it wouldn't be impossible since you can do it if it was either getting through it, or getting stronger if it meant that.

He frowned at no reply, and face palmed.


"It looks like the newcomers have come," Kamiko, the light brown braided haired girl announced to herself. She walked throughout to see if the time would pass fast enough for them to come.

And soon they did.

The girl with her long purple dress, held her arm on the side, using her other arm to hold it, standing in the shadow of a building, her blue eyes examining each player.


"Luckily I still remember the start," Killua grumbled, feeling the annoyance in him.

Now where to go. Oh right, no where! They didn't have a way to get out, so what was the point in searching. It wasn't like someone would show up and give them directions to the nearest exit.

'Good thing I waited here. Now's the opportunity. How about I show them the innocence I can give,' Kamiko, or Kei she liked for short, smirked, walking off from her spot, going towards them, looking like she was confused about where she was and where she had to go.

Feeling the presence, they both turned in reaction.

She stopped, looking at them, hiding her grin, then bowed.

'Now what?'

"If I'm in the way, sorry about that. But I noticed that you both seemed lost. If you want, I can assist you through." Why a sudden question. It gave her true self out more by asking that already.

"No thanks. I already know enough." Killua crossed his arms.

"Really?...Are you sure? I know a way out?"

Killua twitched an eye for both finding someone this late, and somehow he felt he couldn't trust her by the way her presence was and the way she talked.

"Even though I would like to know, I'm not going to ask someone like you."

"What?" she pouted. "Do you not trust me?"

Before he could respond, Gon cut in, by putting his hand in front to stop him, he hoped he had it in the right spot to show that he needed him to stop for a moment.

"By the way," he continued with, "This is probably the only chance." He could agree on that, but because he felt like it wasn't right to have her help, it was probably better to figure out themselves. "Anyway, what's your name?"

"You can call me Kei."

"It's nice to meet you Kei." He held out a hand.

"Um...I'm right here." She stared, seeing his hand facing away.

Gon sweat dropped in some embarrassment. "Sorry, I can't exactly see you."

She faked a wondering look of what he meant. Really, she knew why he couldn't but she had to hide her true self for now.

"I'm Gon anyway." He rubbed his head and smiled nervously. "And this is Killua, and he would-"

"like to leave now," he finished. "Come on Gon. We don't have time for this." He grasped onto his friend's hand and pulled him away.

Being dragged, he waved goodbye to her. She waved back, smirking once more.

She gave her last grin at them. "Enjoy your stay," she mumbled, walking off.


If you have already read the other version of this chapter, I would like to know how much more you liked this because I think it's better than the last. I've also decided to make this another fanfic, and I'm going to leave the other version if you want to know the difference. Also you can find out how the first three arcs go. (Some changes will happen, mostly for the first few chapters.)

I also decided to make a change to the title. It think it would be better with the new title.

If you noticed, I came up with the name of the game, unlike the last version. I already came up with the name when I was on arc two, but I wanted to mention it in a different arc since it was too late. But because of this new version, I'm adding the name. (So, yeah.)

Tell me anything, what you thought, if you like it more than the other one, or if you have a question if you are new, or if you want to know about the future of this.
