Arc four will soon come. Muwahaha.
It took me awhile to figure out what to add to this chapter when I only had half of it written down. (That's why it took so long to post.)
The next or the one after the next chapter will be the last chapter of this arc. I think its also short, but arc five and six are long. (Like eight to fifteen chapters. (So long.))
Enjoy this until the end!
Chapter 12 LightXJajankenXForest
The image of the girl with short blonde hair came again into her head. She kept picturing it, like it was someone she knew, and that she missed her or something. But no. It wasn't anyone she knew, nor did she even know why it came to her.
She sat in the control room and watched Gon walk into a room, then out, and the ln into another room and out. Why was he still checking? He went inside anther one again. Why? What was the point now? All he had to do was figure out that the wall was created.
He looked at the wall next to him as he left the room, and noticed something. But he somewhat didn't notice it either. He saw that there was no window. All the other floors had windows on each end. Why didn't this one have one? It was obvious, but he didn't realize.
Kei slugged into her chair, and slid down until her head was almost on the bottom of the chair. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes for a few seconds, then opened them again.
She sat back up and watched the screen in front of her. She tapped her cheek, while thinking about the consequence that Hikari would give her after this. She knew he would. And she also knew he watched this whole thing. He obviously would do something because she continued to do "something bad." *quote, quote*. Next thing after that, he would probably plan something to destroy the game. Next thing she knew, he would probably just knock her out and then destroy it. There was nothing not to know. He gave out everything he was doing because he knew he would win instead of Kei. Kei thought it was stupid to give out what they are going to do because then she could try harder to stop him, and then she would win.
She looked away, the back and continued watching Gon.
He was staring at the wall. Then he looked behind him, then back, and went back and forth, going this direction, to this direction, to this direction, to this direction. But it was still too confusing for him. It even made his brain hurt. Having no window being there. Finding out just then, the staircase and door to it, was gone, and the hallway had gotten smaller.
"Hmph." She smirked, and laughed at how hilarious she thought of it. She laughed hard, but quiet, but also kind of obnoxious. "Now I got you." She continued laughing, but kept her voice low, so Gon wouldn't hear her from the other side.
"Maybe I should break the wall." He thought for moment. "Then I would at least be able to get out." But how would he break the wall? And even if he did, what good would that do since it wasn't going to show the outside. More hallway would appear, and he would get confused.
"So you want to break the wall, eh. Hmm, I won't let you." She sat back, and waited for him to do something. "But should I just add another wall. No, he would find me in here. But what to do..." She tried to find an idea, and she thought fast, just in case the wall broke down soon. "Ah that's it. This should work." She cracked her knuckles and used her idea.
"I will have to use Jajaken. I have nothing else." Then he got ready, and broke the wall down. From there, he walked through the dusty circle that was created, and looked at the new scenery. It was green, and brown. There were trees everywhere, like it was a forest, or some type of jungle. "So this is what's been outside." He thought. But it was the hallway, and it extended forever. It was bigger on the inside, but from the outside, it look like a normal, small building.
"Heh. You think this is real. It goes on farther than you think. It doesn't even end. The only other way out is to find the exit from the other end of the hallway." She was smart for thinking that. But it was hard to make it so it went on forever.
He climbed a tree to checked what was all around him. But only trees and trees and trees and trees and trees surrounded him. (Sorry I'm bugging you.) But with the wall behind him, how were there some many trees behind him. It seemed impossible, especially since this was a small building.
He jumped down and checked for the wall, but it was gone! It hadn't been in its spot. It disappeared! Now he would have to find his way out.
So he decided to walk away from where the wall used to be, but it was pointless. It never ended unless and exit was created. But one was.
After awhile, he walked forward and then someone appeared far ahead of him. A man, but it was hard to see him, put his hand up and a light appeared. It got bigger and brighter. He turned and closed his eyes to keep the light from hurting him. But then it stopped and the man disappeared.
He ran up and saw a wodden plate with a metal latch on the door. He pulled on the latch and stairs appeared. Many stairs along with pitch black, darkness. It would be dangerous to go down because you could slip or hit the wall by accident. But he still proceeded to go in.
Each step he took inside got darker and soon he couldn't see anything around him. Flat ground appeared as he took a few more steps into the darkness. He stopped for a moment to think of what to do.
Then his thinking was interrupted by a bright, yellow figure. It was small and wasn't something living either. But at least it lit up the room thank goodness. He followed the light as it directed him to a room with a door. He came up to the door and wind blew in his face as it started to open. Soo he was out.
From where he was, the building was behind him. He was now out for good.
His problem of getting out was solved, the problem for how to destroy the game was solved, the confusion was solved, but something still was missing. Even though he was out, no one was there. No side of the building had someone near it. He was alone.
But what about Killua? He was already outside. Did he leave or something? But what about him not being able to move? He couldn't even stand up when Gon went in.
But it wasn't him who did anything.
(earlier)
He tried to get up, but something hurt him. He was in pain for something reason. He looked at his hand. It was covered in blood. Why? He checked where he felt the pain. A line with outlines of blood went around the line in his chest like it was a cut or something. He fell back and covered his eyes. But shortly after he took them off, the area around him changed. He was in some kind of bed. Bandages were on him where the cut was. Nothing bleed through the bandages. How could that have happened in that short amount of time?
He looked at his hand. The blood was still on it. Then he felt something on his forehead. He touched something wet and redness came on his finger.
"I don't have any time to clean this off. I have to get back before he gets out of the building. But why did I have a cut? Why did I even have blood on my hand?" He stood up and walked out of the room he was in and walked outside. He slowly walked in the direction of the building. Luckily he wasn't far. He could barely see it from far away.
Walking wasn't much of a problem now since he could move, but how long would it take to even get back and even find Gon again?
He arrived, but no one was there. There was no other choice then to enter. But would that even help? It wouldn't solve his problem.
As he entered the building, the door disappeared and he walked up to the room in front of him. The room was completely white, and a black ladder came and sat far away. Then eight people appeared.
Then he heard words, but it was hard to tell what they were saying. He only heard one word from each that spoke to him.
"Assassin."
"Happy"
"Annoyed."
"Angry."
"Sad."
"Embarrassed."
"Scared."
"Caring."
They all had the same voice and all looked the same. It was too blury to tell who they were though. But what they each said was similar to what the others said.
"Each of our eyes have different colors." The eyes of each one became more clear and he could only see those clearly and not anywhere else.
Black, yellow, orange, red, blue, green, purple, and pink. Eight different colors and each of them had different ones.
"Two years of your memory," one said. "Go up and you will find the place where you will begin." Begin? Begin what? This wasn't anything he knew of. It didn't even happen yet. How would this happen to him?
Suddenly he moved his feet forward. The black ladder came up to his face and he climbed up. It was almost endless, but after awhile he reached a dark room. It was covered in black and a sign appeared. It was a screen by a door.
"Is this the exit?" The sign gave a warning. He ignored it and pressed yes and then the door opened.
'This is the most I can show you. The rest is up to you to decide on.'
The exit came and wind blew in his face. The sun was setting. Earlier before he entered, it wasn't nearly that time. How long had he been in there?
He went around the whole building to check if someone was there. But no one was. There was no reason to go in. There was no reason to look around. There was no reason to just stand there. It wouldn't help him.
But then a light appeared in front of his face. It got bigger and he took a step back. Kei saw it and ran out.
"No. He couldn't have done it. There's no way." She started to run back. The building disappeared. She looked back and walked backwards. "Its too late. Its over now. He defeated me. How could I lose to him?"
"This is almost like nen, but its not. I can't tell what it is, but its seems too dangerous to be around." He took another step back and started to run away from it. "But where did it come from? This can't be Hatsu. Its too powerful. But how much damage will it do and how far will it go?"
"There's no way I can stop this. Even with my settings. I didn't create this, nor did someone use my settings to create this. But I am the only one that can. Unless somehow he can do it." She continued to stay back. "But they said only I could. Did they lie to me?"
"Its getting too close. I don't know how far it will go." He looked ahead and saw the ground breaking. There was shaking and heat. "But how am I suppose to leave this place? I don't even know where I am, and the shortest way to get out could take a long time."
"This had to be Hikari then. He would be the only other one that could possibly do this. But he's going to die too. How cofident was he about this?" She fell and covered her face. "There's no way I can run from this. I'm already dead." But she got up anyway. She continued to step back.
"Stop! Don't move any further."
"You wanted to see me."
"Yes. I have a request to make. I need you to help me with something."
Ooh, cliffhanger. :O
You may know what was happening when the light appeared and when I said the ground broke and shook. But if you don't know, it will be explained in the next chapter.
Oh, and about the part with Killua entering the building, and the eight people who appeared, (if you noticed) that part and those eight people are important for a different arc. (*cough* arc five) But you will see soon because this arc is about to end and arc four is also short.
Hope you enjoyed it! Guess what happens in the next chapter. I want to see who gets it right.
