《My Journey Of Hunter X Hunter》 Chapter 1 My world may be different from anime worlds but my world has the same thing as anime worlds have. Fighting! War! People risking their lives for others and I''m about to venture into a world where you have to be strong to survive... I''m currently at school with my 2 pals, Jarei and Hubim. We''re having Spanish and I must tell you that the time is literally dragging. Although we have 20 minutes left of class, it feels like it will take forever to reach that legendary number 3. I sigh and look at my notebook. Life has been pretty dead since I moved home to a new city where there is barely anything to do. The teens spray paint on the walls just to pass the time and a.d.u.l.ts go to their normal jobs every day. I hope something eventful comes up soon. I can''t stand not being able to do something. 20 minutes later... RIIIIIIINNNNNNG! At last! It''s 3 o''clock! That means we can go home and...do whatever we usually do. I race out of the classroom at the speed of light and rush to the doors of the outside world and find that I had teleported to my house. I really wanted to go home that much and ran too fast to process my surroundings. I get home 15 minutes later and go into the bathroom to have a shower. It takes 10 minutes to finish. I go downstairs immediately to get my daily salad box and walk into the living room to sit down. I switch the TV on and scroll down to watch the Hunter x Hunter 107 facts I didn''t know (which I am half way through). However, when I clicked on the video, the TV started buzzing like it was crazy or something and the screen was becoming eerily static. I put the TV off and on again and this time the video worked. It''s just a known fact by anyone who watches anything on the TV. Most likely a short technical difficulty. After I think that the television becomes static again. I sigh. "Maybe I should-" Before I could finish what I was saying, I got s.u.c.k.e.d inside the TV screen, never to be seen again. Chapter 2 I open my eyes and look around. I''m in an elevator and it seems to be going down. It finally stops. The door slides to the sides. My eyes widen. No! No, no, no, no! This can''t be happening! Before me are a bunch of wannabe hunters with deadly auras and their eyes fixed on me. I gulp. I walk out of the elevator and the small person I was expecting to come, walked towards me. "This is your number, 406." Beans gave me my Hunter badge. I took it from him and nodded. After he left, I quickly went into one of the walls of the hall and tried to act normal but¡­ I couldn''t. I was sweating all over and my mouth was getting dry. Why of all anime worlds did I have to end up in this world? Suddenly, the mouth-less Satotz came and apologized for being late. After some more words he began to walk. Everyone followed. Then, little-by-little, Satotz sped up. Everyone started to jog and then it turned into a run. -A few minutes later- "Hey! You there!" a person calls me. I look to where the noise came from and narrow my eyes. "Um¡­hi?" I say. "You must be a newbie, am I not right?" The person asks. "Yes." My name is Tonpa." He says. I know. Now just¡­be quiet already. "What''s yours?" Tonpa asks. "Freeze Kill." I answer. "You have a funny name." He says after a few seconds. And so do you, Jumper¡­ "Would you like a drink?" Tonpa suddenly inquires. I look at the middle-sized can that he''s holding. It had an orange wrapping around it. "No thanks. Firstly, I don''t like orange juice. Secondly," I pause. "Drop the innocent act." I turn my head away from him and run a little faster to escape hearing him speak again. -/-/-/-/-/- After some time, I hear shouting. I look to my left and¡­ Chapter 3 I think I''m¡­dead. Not physically but emotionatelly. "I''m Killua." "I''m Gon." These are the words of the people before me, as well as Kurapika and Leorio. What to do? What to do? I decide to stay hidden from them. I t would be too soon of a time if I went over there and made friends with them now. 4 ? hours later¡­ Somehow, I''m still running. So far, Leorio had almost given up and I almost cried and Killua and Gon almost saw me but thanks to the outfit I am wearing I kept on running, unnoticed. So now Killua and Gon are about to have a race, actually they''re already gone. I smile. Not because of the moment (*cough* *cough*) but because the Hunter Exam''s first phase is going to finish soon and by soon I mean in 1-2 hours. So, I keep on running until I see light in front of me. My heart skips a beat and my legs wake up. I speed to the light and jump through. I trip at the last step. I raise my head and sigh. I didn''t fall on Killua and Gon and nobody is watching me. Good. As soon as I walk to a safe and unnoticed place, the exit of the long run shuts close. "Don''t listen to him!" a voice shouts. Everyone looks to the direction of the voice and sees a human. -Obviously- "He''s a man-faced ape." The voice, who is a man, says. He is also pointing at Satotz as to say that he''s the ape the man was holding. Some people were starting to think that the human man was telling the truth until, you know who, came to the rescue. Hisoka had shot the fake examiner and the supposed Satotz ape dead. He also shot his cards Satotz'' way. Satotz said that if Hisoka ever put his cards on an examiner again he''ll be disqualified. Hisoka just smiled¡­creepily. I think he felt me watching him because he looked my way but I pretended to look at someone else. Anyway, we followed Satotz, again. Chapter 4 Fog has surrounded us and people have started to disappear. I''m not far away from the main 4 and I''m also not too close. I guess in this world my amazing eyesight is better here than in my world. I can see Kurapika and Leorio but not Killua or Gon. It''s not because my eyesight isn''t good but because at this part they split up. After some time later¡­ Guess what I''m doing now... I''m cooking. I mean looking. At who? Hisoka. Walking of with an unconscious Leorio. Why? Some of you may be asking¡­ or none. Well, its because¡­ Kurapika & Leorio find Hisoka They run opposite ways Leorio decides to be a tough guy and comes back He tries to fight Hisoka Misses Hisoka was about to do something about Leorio Hisoka gets a slap of a rod by Gon Hisoka wals over to Gon *Technical Difficulty* Hisoka says that Gon and Leorio pass Hisoka walks off with Leorio¡­ and unconscious Leorio. I stay hidden¡­ -Until 10 minutes later- I''m at the gates, of the 2nd Phase of the Hunter Exam. Leorio has woken up and he''s standing next to Kurapika and¡­ Gon x Killua (*cough* *cough*) I mean Killua and Gon. The gates start to creak open and then we walk into Hell''s Kitchen¡­ Chapter 5 Last time on ''My Journey of Hunter x Hunter'' I''m at the gates, of the 2nd Phase of the Hunter Exam. Leorio has woken up and he''s standing next to Kurapika and¡­ Gon x Killua (*cough* *cough*) I mean Killua and Gon. The gates start to creak open and then we walk into Hell''s Kitchen¡­ -/-/-/-/-/- We stop when we hear a loud gong. We look to the direction of the sound and find a large, over-sized human¡­ I think, with a normal-sized human that dresses¡­ differently. -NOTE! I am doing this off memory so if I get any wording wrong, I sincerely apologise. NOTE!- "My name is Menchi and this is Buhara." The woman pointed to the over-sized human. "Welcome to the 2nd Phase of the Hunter Exam." Buhara spoke. Huh? You''re probably asking why I''m huhing. Well, it''s because of the food we have to make. It isn''t the usual. It''s¡­ Sushi. "Yes, that''s right. You''ll be making Sushi." Menchi smiled. She sat down and her expression became serious/bored. "Begin." Buhara sounded the bong. All contestants panicked except for some¡­ like me¡­ and¡­ Killua & Gon & Kurapika & Leorio.. -Anyway- I went to my station and started making the required dish. -Some time later- Menchi takes one piece and Buhara takes another. Menchi''s eyebrows raise and Buhara smiles. "When did you start making Sushi?" Menchi asks. "Um¡­" I think. "Today." "Seriously?!" Menchi is surprised that I made such a good Sushi on my 1st try. "Yeah¡­" Menchi stares dumbly at me. "Guess you pass." She then says. "Can I say something?" I ask. Buhara nods. "If none of those people pass then I can''t be the only one to pass." Menchi is shocked. "What if one person passes?" Menchi inquires. I look at her. I turn around and before I leave I say the answer to her question. "No one will pass¡­" Chapter 6 Last time on ''My Journey of Hunter x Hunter'' "Guess you pass." She then says. "Can I say something?" I ask. Buhara nods. "If none of those people pass then I can''t be the only one to pass." Menchi is shocked. "What if one person passes?" Menchi inquires. I look at her. I turn around and before I leave I say the answer to her question. "No one will pass¡­" -/-/-/-/-/- I went back to my station and waited for time to fly by. -Some time later¡­again- I look at the trees. They''re swaying uncontrollably. I look up and see a blip above all of us and I''m feeling super hyped. Before I became back to my normal self, someone fell from the blip. It was¡­*breathe in*¡­none other than NETERO-SAN! "It''s really him." Some of the contestants murmured. -NOTE! Whatever goes on/ is said is more or less from the Hunter x Hunter''s actual plot. NOTE!- "Is there a problem here?" Netero asks Menchi. "None of the contestants pass except for one but they refused to be the only one to pass." Menchi said. "Well, I can''t let you fail the contestants on the second phase." Netero says. I guess it''s time for me to- "Netero, could you take us to the top of that mountain?" Menchi points to a far but near mountain. -And 5 minutes later we''re at the top of the mountain that Menchi chose for us to retake the second phase- We walk off the blip. Now we go back to the bullet point/ number thing: - Menchi tells us what to do - She demonstrates the activity/ task. - Tells us the danger - We jump off the cliff¡­ thing. - Everyone waits until Gon says it''s OK to go. - We''re at the surface. - Menchi shows us the difference of a spider eagle egg and a regular egg. - We eat. - 50 contestants pass. Next time on '' My Journey of Hunter x Hunter'': - I actually speak to Gon & Killua - See someone do something - I tell a secret to someone. Chapter 7 "You may go and enjoy your time until the 3rd phase of the Hunter Exam at 8am tomorrow." YAY! We can go do whatever we want. I look around for Killua and Gon but they''re gone. I go around the blip to look for them. No one''s P.O.V Tonpa goes over to Kurapika and Leorio. They''re sitting on the floor, looking tired. "I don''t think you should be going to sleep. What if they were lying and the exam starts before 8am?" Kurapika and Leorio exchange looks. Tonpa walks away knowing he has achieved his goal¡­or so he thought. Back to Freeze Kill''s POV I''m passing through corridors and opening doors and running and getting tired and impatient. Finally, after some time of looking, I find them sitting next to one of the windows of the blip. I breathe. I walk over to them and say politely, "Excuse me, but, may I join you?" Killua and Gon look at me. Killua narrows his eyes. "Sure." Gon smiles. YES! I sit on the floor facing both of them. Killua raises an eyebrow. "Why are you sitting on the floor?" He asks. He actually spoke to me ^_^. "Well¡­" I stop. A gush of air had just passed behind me. Might that be¡­? I turn my head to the right and find Netero pretending to walk towards us. Nice try Netero-san, but you can''t fool us. "Ne, did you see anyone come from that way?" Gon asks Netero while pointing the opposite way. Killua is observing. "That''s a nice trick, old man." He says coldly. "Thank you." Netero beams. ¡­ Eye stare Game! 1 2 3- "Why are you here anyway?" I ask, eventually. "I was getting bored." Netero replies. -Another game of eye stare- "Want to play a game?" Netero questions. "Sure","Ok","Yeah" where mine, Killua''s and Gon''s answers. "Then follow me." Netero turns around and walks off. Chapter 8 Last time on ''My Journey of Hunter x Hunter'' "Want to play a game?" Netero questions. "Sure","Ok","Yeah" where mine, Killua''s and Gon''s answers. "Then follow me." Netero turns around and walks off. -/-/-/-/-/- We''re in a large room. It has a clock and a window and also some benches. -Some time of admiring- "So, are we going to play?" I ask. "Of course." Netero replies. "All you have to do is get the ball away from me." "I''ll go first." Killua says. "Ok, we''ll just sit down and¡­" admire you "¡­watch you." *Bullet point/Number time* (Again) -NOTE! This may or may not be true due to doing this from memory and only watching the show once and a while ago NOTE!- 1. Killua does his walk: Rhythm Echo. 2. Gon is impressed (and me too). 3. Killua charges forward. 4. Sometime later¡­ 5. Killua kicks Netero''s leg 6. Stops 7. Cries (in pain because of the pain¡­in the leg) 8. Gon''s turn now¡­ 9. Gon pretends to head for the ball. 10. Jumps up on the last second. 11. Bangs on top of the ceiling. 12. Cries (because of the pain, too) 13. I roll my eyes 14. Now it''s my turn¡­ 15. I say "I''m not usually good at this." 16. Netero smiles 17. I run towards Netero 18. Run clockwise around him 19. Crouch down 20. Build power 21. Jump 22. Kick the ball upwards with my left leg. 23. Grab it 24. Land on the floor 26. Bounce it on the floor and grab it back 27. Throw it above my head and into Killua''s and Gon''s direction. 28. Netero being so fast kicks it the opposite way. 29. Killua and Gon both reach for the ball 30. Netero gets past them, making a dent on the floor and retrieving the ball. I look at Killua and Gon. They''ve got only their vests and shorts on. I''m exhausted. "You are¡­pretty good¡­" I pant. Netero smiles with his eyes closed and the ball twirling on his index finger. "Hey, Killua, Gon. Do you still have the energy to take him on?" I say. "Ok then, I''ll go sit down and watch you take him on-" Chapter 9 I''m telling Netero my secret that I''m holding from everyone. ~Theme Song~ ~ Fighting evil by moonlight~ ~Winning love by daylight~ ~Never running from a real fight~ ~She is the one named¡­~ Sailor Moon Opening Anyway¡­ ~Flashback~ Killua and Gon tries to get the ball away After a few minutes, no luck Killua gets angry? (Don''t really remember the right word¡­oh right - triggered -) He goes out of the room Gon tries to make Netero use his left arm and right leg (or vice versa) At the end succeeds/does it. Passes out because of exhaustion I call Netero over. I ask him if he can keep secrets. He nods. ~End of flashback~ "I''m¡­from another world." I say anxiously. "Really?" Netero looks at me, shocked. I shake my head up and down. Netero plays with his beard while he thinks. "How did you get here?" He asks eventually. "I don''t know. One minute, I''m in my world and the next, I''m in yours." I say. Netero thinks some more. "Do you want to go back?" Netero asks me. I poder the question in my mind. Do I really want to go back? How am I going to get back? Can I stay here forever? Will I be able to go on this Journey with the main 4 Protagonists? "No." Is my only answer. "Don''t worry. Your secret is safe with me." I smile and then my eyes close half-way down. Guess I''m tired. Well, it is 2 o''clock in the morning. I lay down on the bench and go into heavenly sleep. Next time on ''My Journey of Hunter x Hunter''¡­ It''s the 3rd Phase of the Hunter Exam. Who do we meet again? Tonpa!? And Kurapika and Leorio too? Oh boi! Episode 11- Prisoners of the Tower. Chapter 10 ~Theme song~ ~Can you hear my heartbeat? ~ ~Tired of feeling never enough~ ~I close my eyes and tell myself~ ~That my dreams will come true~ Yuri! On ICE opening A/N: so this chapter is a filler which means it''s not in the anime or the manga of Hunter x Hunter. So you can skip this chapter if you want. It''s morning time and it''s bang on 7am in the morning. I only slept for about 5 hours but I feel refreshed, even though. I look to where Gon is laying down and he''s still fast asleep. I yawn and stretch my arms. I walk out of the room and walk into the canteen. To my surprise, a lot of people are awake/ in the canteen. I look around. Suddenly, I see a familiar figure. I walk over to them and sit at the table they''re at. "Good morning." I say, smiling. Killua glances over at me. "Oh, you''re awake?" Killua inquires. "Yeah. Just woke up now." I reply. "So I never got your name." Killua says. Oh no. "Yeah. I didn''t tell you yesterday did I." I remembered. Should I still give my name as ''Freeze Kill''? Or give him a different one? "Well," I start. "My name is Allukima but, most people call me Freeze Kill." I explain. "Allukima?" He says. "Yeah." I say. "Last name?" He asks. Oh no. (Again) "Well, you didn''t tell me your name." I quickly respond, smartly. "True." He looks around, probably bored. I look at the time and it''s almost half past seven. "So, what do you want to do?" I ask. Killua looks back at me. "What do you want to do?" He asks. "Whatever you want to do." I say. "But I don''t know what I want to do." "And I don''t know what I want to do." A pause. Killua smiles and I smile. Then we laugh. "Wanna be friends?" I smile. He look at me kinda shocked and surprided. He looks at the cup of tea in front of him. "Are you sure you want to be friends with¡­someone like me? I blink, 3 times. "Ofcourse," I grin. "No matter how bad a person is, there''s still a little good inside of them" I quote my own quote. Killua looks at me like he looked, I mean, is going to look at Gon at the ''You are light'' scene. Then he looks down, his hair falling over his eyes. I feel so¡­happy and sad and fangirly. My heart hurts. "Sure." I stop fangirling. I look at Killua. He''s looking at me. I realise who spoke. "Are you sure." ¡­ Why did I even ask that? "Yes." Killua looks away. "We have arrived at the 3rd phase of the Hunter Exam. Please report outside to Netero." The announcement speaker sounded. "We should get going." I tell Killua. He nods. We stand up and walk out of the canteen. We pass the room where we were against Netero and go through the corridor outside the flying vehicle. On the way out we meet Gon and stand on top of the Tower. We wait until further instructions or whatever. Episode 11- Prisoners of the Tower. Chapter 11 ~Theme song~ ~Come on break it down for me! ~ ~A river will flow~ ~You are not my enemy~ ~I''ll let you prove me wrong~ ~You can trust me when I say~ ~It won''t be long~ ~We''re gonna see the end of night~ ~Don''t forsake me now~ ~We haven''t got the time~ ~The fallen angels I run with all know~ ~It''s our fear that makes us all human after all~ ~Torn old sepia photographs show~ ~Must reject it, respond to the~ ~Calling, screaming inside of my soul~ ~It''s my fear of loving what''s~ ~Dearest to us all~ ~Sun is fading~ ~It will set forever~ Scapegoat (Owari No Seraph) Took it a little bit too far. *Bullet pint/Number timer* After Netero finishes we think of what to do. Gon goes to look down the tower. Gon comments "That''s a long way down." Killua comments "Someone could commit suicide." Another person comments. We look to the person It''s number 96 He starts climbing down I think: He''s climbing down pretty fast One minute he''s climbing, the next he''s¡­gone. I think: Oh well. ¨CSome time later¡­once again- We''re about to depart¡­ [DEPARURE!] *Land, land, land, splat, land* Me, Kurapika, Killua, Gon and Leorio are together.

An angelic body falls from the sky. He looks up. It''s Tonpa. More like a devilish body to say for a fact. He nervously waves at us and takes the bracelet. Seriously. I hate his presence. Time for the bullet point/number process: -We have to press buttons on our watches and SOMEONE keeps pressing the wrong one. -We reach this room and we find out we have to fight these prisoners. -Tonpa goes for 1 second and he already messes it up for us. -Killua next ( I think) and yeah¡­his opponent (Johness) is ded. -Kurapika next and some stuff happens with her¡­I mean his eyes turning red and the Spider clan. -Leorio''s turn with a, to him, pretty lady with pink hair. Hmm¡­ -My turn and um¡­I think I''m in trouble¡­ Chapter 13 - A break Thank you all for reading My Journey of Hunter x Hunter. I actually didn''t think this would get so many views so fast and so many power stones. It''s good to see many readers comment on the story and telling me pointers and things they liked. To be honest, this story was written at most two to three years ago and published on another writing site and then left alone to populate...which it never did as much as here on . However, since people are reading the story and adding it to their libraries I will continue this story with better chapters (that means longer and detailed chapters) so at least some readers would be happy with that. With other readers that are reading my other stories, I will have to publish them at a slower rate since I have a hectic publishing schedule. So, please bear with me until I can find a way to slot in writing time with publishing time. Thank you for reading and I hope to see you next week. (P.S each chapter from Chapter 13 will be published every 4-5 days). If you have the time, please also leave a review so other people know how this fan-fic story is like. Chapter 14 - 13 Last time on ''My Journey of Hunter x Hunter'': Tonpa fails to win the match so one point goes to the prisoners. Gon, Killua and Kurapika do their turn they actually win (well, no surprise there *cough* *cough*). Then, it''s Leorio''s turn and because of the femininity of his opponent he loses (typical Leorio). Finally, my turn comes and this is when the story continues... Damn. What am I supposed to do now? My opponent is not in the original series or the manga. Plus, I don''t know what to do since I haven''t tried to see if I have any nen yet. Wait...I don''t have to since neither one of the Main Four have nen (how could I forget). Well, now I have nothing to worry about...except my strength... If you''re wondering what kind of person my opponent is don''t ask me because I don''t know. All I can say right now is how he looks...which, to put it simply, is damn right bad and sad? My opponent, who has a name tag which says ''Giggles'', walks forward solemnly onto the tiled grey, square block thing (I don''t know the technical name for it). I think of looking at Kurapika for help but stop my head from turning. I will make this out alive, I''m sure of it. So, I walk onto the grey block thing and hear the grey steps (or rather see) disappear from behind me. For a moment, there is dead silence until ''Giggles'' takes something from his ragged, long jacket. Observing his frail, shaking hand, I can make out the object to be...shuriken! Suddenly, Giggles swishes his dark long hair out of his face and throws his shuriken at me and they come at a pretty fast pace. I only have time to crouch down to the floor because my first option (jumping up into the air) would make my body have piercings in all the wrong places. Glancing to Giggles, I was hoping to see him smile evilly, you know, like a scheming anime villain or something, but instead I see the opposite. He''s crying with absolute depression written over his face! What the hell? Giggles takes another set of shuriken from his coat and fires them again, faster and more urgently. I try to move out the way but, of course, I get hit by one of the shuriken, right in the left leg. I grit my teeth. I don''t know about you but I am no anime hero. I don''t move on, I don''t have a plan, I''m not brave or heroic and I''m definitely not going to win or spout out any hidden magical powers. "Sob sob." I hear Giggles murmur over and over again. I mean seriously, what is up with this guy? He really needs to get his life sorted out by someone (and that won''t be me coz I ''aint no counselor). "Look...Giggles...I''m going to be truthful with you..." I say as I try to ease my pain by rocking my body back and forth (like that will help). "Let''s not fight...Let-Let''s be friends..." I complete my sentence as I look down to my leg, trying REALLY not to cry. There''s another silence, a much longer one than last time but you know what? Giggles has stopped murmuring ''Sob'' and he doesn''t look so sad anymore. Actually, he''s smiling. Guess I''m really good at- "No." Giggles answers as he throws the last shuriken in his hand. Chapter 15 - 14 "No." Giggles says as he throws the last shuriken in his hand. I was prepared for his answer even before I made the statement of him being my friend, that''s why I jumped out of the way just in time. Turning around, I see the shuriken heading over to where the Main Four (plus Tonpa) is and land swiftly past Leorio''s head. "WAAAAHHHH! I almost died! What are you trying to do, huh?!" Leorio shouts in frustration. Kurapika sighs. "You should have been more focused otherwise you wouldn''t be complaining now." Kurapika tells Leorio simply. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?! I WAS CLEARLY FOCUSED!!!" I look back at Giggles who is distracted by the ruckus Leorio is making. Looking down at the floor, I think if this is the part I turn the tables and overpower him but I have no idea how I am going to do that. I don''t have a weapon or nen so... "Hey, Giggles. Look over to your left." I glance to the person who said it and see that it''s Killua. Suddenly, Killua throws a huntsman''s knife at me and I feel very nervous all of a sudden. I put my hands up in front of my face and catch the knife at the tip. Phew, that was close. If I didn''t have kind of good catching skills then my hands would be sliced up right now. Instictively, I lash the knife sideways at Giggles. Since Giggles was distracted by Leorio''s act, he didn''t see the knife come towards him and hit him in the c.h.e.s.t. Once, he noticed he looked down, rather dramatically, at his c.h.e.s.t and smiled (finally. at least his name wasn''t for nothing), then he fell backwards, backwards to his second death down the pit... There''s silence for a few seconds. Well, at least no one in the real world will know I killed someone...right? It''s ok to do it in the Hunter x Hunter universe but not in my world. I see the grey steps appear again and I go back to the main four, trying really hard not to look at Killua. I mean, he helped me, for some unknown reason, and I don''t know why. I will have to ask him when we go into the waiting room. The examiner tells us that we will be staying in the waiting room for around 50 hours which is around 2 days. Yipee! I follow the other guys to the room and sit down on the black couch. The others get to work on relaxing and exploring the room. I look around. The TV, the bookshelves and room look exactly like I remember it from the anime. Guess I really am taking this journey in this world. It feels exilarating and nerve-wracking at the same time but if I do go back to Earth, at least I will be able to tell everyone what kind of adventure I had. Chapter 16 - 15 I try to occupy myself by pretending to stretch my arms. I seriously don''t know what to say or do really. I feel like I''m not supposed to be here. I look forward to Killua and Gon and witness Killua make a really sick move on his skateboard. "If you hesitate on the first step you''ll hurt yourself." Killua tells Gon. "Got it." Gon takes the skateboard from Killua carefully and with excitement (he probably hasn''t ever ridden one). "Hey Kurapika," I hear Leorio say. "Once we''ve spent 50 hours in here, we''ll have fewer than 10 hours, right?" "Yes. That''s correct." Kurapika answers. "That''s more than enough time to get out!" Leorio''s spirit elevates. "You''re a fool." Tonpa butts in. "Heh?" Leorio looks at Tonpa, quite annoyed. I don''t blame him, I''m annoyed by Tonpa''s presence too. Just looking at him makes me sick. "Phase three lasts for 72 hours, and each phase is there to pick out half the remaining candidates. So, on average, it''s meant to take 72 hours to complete the descend. This goes to show how much of an idiot you are." Leorio grits his teeth. "Well, our chances of reaching the goal within 10 hours depends on the remaining trials." Kurapika says. "Yeah, that''s true." Leorio sighs. Right now I don''t think I have a say in this. It''s true that we only have 10 hours to reach our goal once we get out here but it would have been 12 if Tonpa would have came sooner down the tower step. However, we would have even longer time if SOME people didn''t mess up and threw away our time. Sorry Leorio. "Anyway, we should rest. No point in worrying about the past now." Kurapika says as walks to the sofa to prepare the bed for the night. I decide to walk around to the book shelves but Leorio calls me out. "Hey you." He looks at me. "Yes?" I blink, not knowing what to say. "You don''t talk much, do you?" I look at everyone else and see them staring at me curiously. I gulp. I only live once right? (Or in this case twice). Guess it''s time for me to become a protagonist. "No...but you do." I stand up tall. "What did you say?" Leorio stands up. "I said you talk to much. Also, you''re rather loud, you know. Might want to keep it down. I don''t want to go deaf from you." "That''s it. You and me fight. Now!" Chapter 17 - 16 Last time on ''My Journey of Hunter x Hunter'': "Hey you." Leorio looks at me. "Yes?" I blink, not knowing what to say. "You don''t talk much, do you?" I look at everyone else and see them staring at me curiously. I gulp. I only live once right? (Or in this case twice). Guess it''s time for me to become a protagonist. "No...but you do." I stand up tall. "What did you say?" Leorio stands up. "I said you talk to much. Also, you''re rather loud, you know. Might want to keep it down. I don''t want to go deaf from you." "That''s it. You and me fight. Now!" *** [NOTE! This is not in the anime or the manga but it''s worth a read. NOTE!] Huh. I didn''t think things would escalate this fast but here I am, before Leorio, ready to fight my b.u.t.t off in a legendary fight. Leorio raises his arms and curls his hands into fists. I follow his stance as we circle the room, ready to rip each other to bits. Leorio goes first with his fist slicing forward towards my face but I dodge sideways and prepare to counter attack his move by hitting him right in the face, what he was trying to do. His balance falls asleep and he falls back on the ground. "Are you done?" I say. "Hah. You wish!" Leorio says as he stands back up. He moves forward again and goes for the same move as before. I prepare to dodge again but I see his left leg raising up in a very slow motion like way. I decide to evade his attack by moving to my right and moving anti clockwise to give him a piece of my unknown power (basically, I kicked him in the back with my right leg). Surprisingly, he flew right across the room to the wall. I''m even surprised myself. Then, I get a triggering pain in the top of my head which made me take down the black hood I''ve been having on since the beginning (or when I first came into this world). "What?" I say, glancing at everyone''s faces. "Your hair is glowing..." Kurapika says. I reach for my hair and find frizzy brown hair which is pulsating a deep and vivid colour of deep magenta. This isn''t what I was expecting. It stops after a further 5 beats and settles down. "Well, you don''t see that everyday." Killua mutters suddenly. Leorio has already stood up from his fall. I look at him and extend my hand outwards. "Leorio, right? I''m sorry for insulting you. Do you forgive me?" I say. He stares at my hand...and keeps on staring until he comes forward and takes my hand forcefully. "Hah. If you don''t insult me again, THEN I''ll see if I''ll forgive you." "Thank you. Anyway, isn''t it time for bed? I''m tired." I stretch my arms. "I''m tired too." Gon adds. We all get ready for bed as the timer on the clock ticks away the hours and minutes it has left to count. Chapter 18 - 17 Everyone is already in bed and I''m looking at the ceiling, thinking about everything: How I got here, what''s happened, what is going to happen and all the many adventures I am yet to have. Plus, I''m not even sure if I am eligible for nen or not (being the only person not from this world...or so). It''s just frustrating thinking about it. Raising my head, I look over at the others. Killua and Gon are on the sofa, Leorio sleeps just next to where Tonpa is. Kurapika''s snuggled comfortably along some books that he has decided to spend his time in this room reading. Oh, that reminds me, Killua should be up by now. In the anime, he''s the only one awake (well not anymore since I am here). Looking at the time we have left, I see we have around 40 minutes, I mean hours, left. As I sigh, I hear Killua and Kurapika''s voice. "Can''t sleep?" Kurapika says. "Thing is, I can stay up 2 or 3 days at a time." Killua replies. "It''s already been 10 hours huh." "It''s hard to tell without any windows but it''s probably morning now." Killua adds and he gets up. "Most likely." Kurapika agrees. Killua looks at Gon and chuckles mischievously. He takes his pillow and smacks it towards gon''s sleeping face...or so he thought. Gon pushes the pillow back at Killua''s way with his eyes close. Forgot how great that looked in the anime. If I did that in real life, I could be seen as a superhero! Or someone who is really good at knowing what comes next. Killua looks at Gon with surprise as he clutches the pillow in his hands. Then, he chuckles and throws it for a second try. Gon decides to wake up and have the pillow fight with Killua. They catapult the pillow back and forth at a fast rate in the quiet room until Leorio shouts at them to be quiet but being the kind of 12 year olds, they grin with mischief. Leorio mumbles some words and then shouts out when Tonpa''s leg creeps up right next to his nose. I chuckle along with Kurapika as we listen to Leorio ranting at Tonpa. This is too great not to laugh at and Leorio''s even funnier in real life. You really can''t get enough. Chapter 19 - 18 It''s the next day and we''re all sitting around, getting more and more bored by the minute. Leorio is comfortably sleeping on the sofa, Tonpa is...playing with his feet (he can''t think of anything else to do? Seriously), Kurapika is reading a few books from the bookshelves and Gon is telling Killua about his fishing rod and what it''s used for. "Huh. I thought you only put bait on the hook and you could fish with it." Killua examines Gon''s rod. "Yeah, but you also got to think like a fish." "Does that even work?" Killua looks incredulously at Gon. "Uhuh. What would a fish feel if it saw bait dangling in front of it." After saying this, Gon took the rod back from Killua and fished it, using his skills, into the cup situated next to Tonpa. Tonpa looks at the cup in surprise. "Woah. Let me have a try." Killua says. He takes the rod in his hands and focuses on a specific target than he fishes the line all the way to the sofa, missing his target. Then, having a cool idea in his mind, he dragged the line back towards him where it caught onto Leorio''s sleeping leg. Leorio wakes up to find his leg being tugged by the rod. "Hey! What do you think you''re doing? Stop!" He shouts. "Haha. Right on target." Killua chuckles, tugging more and more at Leorio''s leg. Leorio holds onto his leg trousers and tries to get the hook off. I laugh. At last, the hook gets off of Leorio''s trousers, taking a part with it and returns back to Killua and Gon''s way. "You see. I landed a big one." Killua says, proudly. "Yep." Gon agrees. Leorio, full of anger, stands up from the sofa and yells at Killua. "Do I look like a fish to you? Grow up!" "No need to get so mad. It''s not like I''m going to cook you and eat you." Killua replies. "It''s true...unless you want to be cooked and eaten." I smile, thinking about the idea of Leorio being cooked right here, right now, having an apple in his mouth. Haha. What a good thought. "Hey! Who asked for your input?!" Leorio decides to have a go at me. "No one, no one..." I mumble, still smiling. "I can''t get a decent sleep around here! Childish kids here, small room and..." Leorio returns to ranting. I, Killua and Gon laugh along. Then, I notice Tonpa smirking. Leorio stops ranting and looks at Tonpa. "You''re up to something again, aren''t you?" Leorio looks at Tonpa with suspicion. "Whatever do you mean? I just want to spend the rest of my time here with some peace and quiet. "Liar! I don''t trust you, not one bit." Leorio goes back to the sofa. Same here Leorio. I would NEVER trust Tonpa, not even if my life depended upon it. Tonpa is the most untrustworthy person you could find...so far. Chapter 20 - Unfortunate Note I have some unfortunate news. I have decided to discontinue this fanfiction. The reason to this is I started this story when 2-3 years ago and I was just writing it for fun and did not think about how I was formatting it. That is why the first 12 chapters are badly written. Although I have grown as a writer and have posted a further couple of chapters to this fanfiction, I still feel it''s no point to continue it since I''m just basically retelling you the story of what happened in the Hunter x Hunter anime. I do want to say thank you to everyone who has read this and I was overjoyed to see that I reached 130K views, the most I''ve ever gotten however, I''ve been focusing on this fanfiction a lot and I have put a hold on other stories that are better than this fanfiction. That is why by discontinuing this fanfiction, I will be able to focus on my other stories. I may not return to this fanfiction to finish it but I may make a fanfiction from other anime like The Promised Neverland or My Hero Academia. If you do want me to write a fanfiction to a different anime please comment which one. Anyway, I''m sorry for the notice and I hope you have a good day and I thank you for reading. Bye~ Chapter 21 - 19 A drop of water crawls down my forehead. The atmosphere feels foreboding and neverending. The air is becoming drier and less humidified as we wait for the countdown to hit absolute zero. ''What a great start that is.'' I think as I finish the last words I had scribbled into my notepad. Glancing up at the time, I see we have just over a minute left in here and then we''ll be able to continue our journey down the Tower...before ten hours have finished! "One more minute left." Killua mumbles quietly as we stand still, like bored statues on a hot midsummers day. "This one minute is taking forever." Leorio grumbles. "It''s not that long. You keep thinking like that and you''ll make the wrong decisions in life." I say. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Leorio snaps at me. "Such paranoia needs to be locked away." I smirk. "Why you little!" Leorio tries to get me but Kurapika stops him. "Both of you, please stop. We don''t want to get into a row before we get out of here." Kurapika tells us. Finally, after 3 days of hardcore waiting, the time hits zero and the door buzzes and with no surprise at all, Gon is the first one to move. "Wait for us Gon!" Leorio shouts as we all follow Gon into the unknown. *** Puffing like we''re the Big Bad Wolf, we reach a dead end. "Are you kidding me? After 30 minutes of endless running and we end up where we started." Leorio pants. "That''s why I told you that we should of taken the stairs down." Killua mutters monotonely. "THIS IS THE DAMN ROUTE WE ALL SAID WE WOULD GO THROUGH SO SHUT THE HELL UP!" Leorio screams at Killua, clearly annoyed. Thinking about it from the bottom of the Tower, it was fun going down a rollercoaster once again, and through an Egypt-like escape route where the floor was disappearing right before our feet and a boulder chasing us down like hound dogs hungry for some meat. The funny part which I enjoyed witnessing is when we had to vote whether to open the door or not and there was someone who disagreed and Leorio thought it was Tonpa once again but in reality it was Gon, being his innocent self. After some banter with Leorio and Tonpa, we go through the door and stand before two doors which are marked with either a Nought or a Cross. "Looks like this is the last decision we have to make. Are you ready? Choose O or X." Killua speaks. "What do you take me for? Of course I''m ready." Leorio says with a proud manner. We all choose Noughts except a certain ''somebody'' who picked the Cross. ''Please select a path. There are two available options to choose from. The long and difficult path, which the whole group can take, or the short and easy path, which will be limited to only three of you.'' The speaker sounds. I''m not quite sure which one I would take (I would rather go through the short and easy path because who wouldn''t?) ''Insidentaly, if you choose the long and difficult path, it will require a minimum of forty five hours to complete.'' Great(!) We could have taken this route if Leorio hadn''t messed up with the time. Sorry not sorry Leorio, you know it''s your fault. ''...While the short and easy path will lead you directly to the goal in approximately three minutes. Press O to select the long and difficult path, or press X to select the short and easy path.'' The speaker continues. If I remember right, we choose the short and easy path by digging the door open. Unless, me being here changes the rules of everything (though how everything is going, it''s pretty well to assume that we''ll end up digging our way to our goal). ''If X is selected, two applicants from your group must be chained to the wall with handcuffs before the door will open. Those applicants will be unable to move until the time limit is expired.'' Imagine that. Having to wait five or more hours in a room while being handcuffed to a wall. You can''t even go to the bathroom! We look around and see various weapons hung on the wall from knifes and swords to axes and weapons I don''t even know the name of. "The examiners though of everything. There''s every weapon down here that I''ve ever seen and more." Killua points out. "Huh. So they expect us to fight to decide who will be left behind and who gets to go down." Kurapika sums it up. "I''m pressing the X button...but I''m not staying behind. I''m one of the three that''s moving on and I will do whatever it takes." Leorio comes up with the answer after observing the doors for some time. "You''re one to talk. We could have taken the long path if you hadn''t wasted fifty hours." Tonpa says. For once, he''s right. But after this, he''ll never be right again, I can guarantee that...since my mind says so. "Why don''t you do the right thing by staying behind. It''s not like we need you." Actually, we don''t need you Tonpa. "What did you say?" Leorio''s voice raises. "Wait a minute. I''m going to press O. We''ve made it this far by working together, we should finish together. It''s a big risk, I know that but still...We got to try!" "We''ve got less than an hour let alone forty five minutes to spare, we can''t take the longest route." Killua explains. Everyone sighs except me. "You know...there are all these weapons, maybe they are not here for us to fight each other." I say. "What do you mean?" Kurapika asks. "Maybe they are there for us to use to escape. We don''t HAVE to choose one door." Everyone eyes each other. "We just need to all pick the long and difficult path, let the door open and break down the wall to the short and easy path. Simple." I finish. For some time there is silence, then everyone presses the O option and we get our weapons through the exit, then we plow down on the wall leading to the short and easy path and quickly run to just make it down the Tower to join the other applicants. ''Kurapkia, number 404 is the 20th to pass. Killua, number 99 is the 21st to pass. Gon, number 405 is the 22nd to pass, Freeze Kill, number 406 is the 23rd to pass. Time elapsed, 71 hours and 59 minutes. 30 seconds remain.'' The speaker sounds as soon as we go through the door. I''m all worn out to even hear what the others are saying but I''m thinking that''s it''s positive things like the fact that they''re glad to be out of there. Suddenly, we hear grunts behind us. Looking around we spot Leorio and Tonpa struggling to get out of the doorway. ''Leorio, number 403 is the 24th to pass. Tonpa, number 16 is the 25th to pass. Time elapsed 71 hours, 59 minutes.'' "My hands are a mess." Leorio says as soon as he and Tonpa have stopped fighting through the door. "But at least we all got down, and it''s all thanks to..." Everyone looks at me. "What was your name again?" "Freeze Kill." I answer. "Yeah, you." Leorio says with a straight face but that smiles and gives me a high five. We all chuckle with fatigue. ''The third phase of the Hunter Exam is over. Twenty six applicants have passed, including one deceased.'' So basically, twenty five applicants have passed since that one guy who came before us had died. Thank goodness for that. I didn''t think it would be that tiring but this is the Hunter x Hunter world, of course it will be tiring. As the door to the continuation of the Exam opens, I think about the next phase and what it will be like, trying to remember the greatness the anime showed. Chapter 22 - HIATUS X HIATUS I know that I''m not writing a lot on my stories here on but I hope to return soon. However, if you would like for me to create any other stories or fanfictions or if you have any idea of other stories I should try writing please comment and thank you for reading so far. I will try to come back as soon as I can but for now, keep reading and stay safe! Chapter 23 - 20 NOTE! This chapter is a filler so the anime doesn''t have this content and I just made it up but here you go. NOTE! We''re cruising smoothly on a boat with the next examiner for the next hunter exam test. "I''m exhausted." One applicant tells another. "Same. This test is tough." The person replies. I''m not gonna lie, I have to agree with them. The hunter exam really tests your skills and how mentally aware you are. I think I''m doing pretty good so far...even though my physical level in real life is WAY lower than in here. "So, why did you take the hunter exam?" I look behind me and see a couple of applicants huddled together in a small-ish circle. "I want to become a hunter so I''m able to get access into the restricted parts that hunters are entitled to." One says. "My cousin is a hunter so I want to be one too. I also hear you get great perks!" Another exclaims. "Hey, you know, hunters get an average 35% more money than a normal person! So, becoming a hunter makes you even richer!" A burly applicant tells the group with excitement oozing from his body. "I thought it was 10%" "No, it''s 50%" "Isn''t it 48%" They all shout out random numbers with no relation to the actual answer. I turn around to the others and find Leorio staring at me. I quickly glance back to make sure that I''m the one he''s looking at. Returning my eyes on Leorio, I see that his gaze hasn''t wavered. "Did you need something?" I ask him. Leorio stares a little bit more before answering. "Not really. I''m just thinking about why you look mysterious and suspicious." "What?" I sweatdrop. "I don''t look mysterious or suspicious. If anything, I look uninteresting." I chuckle, nervously. His deep gaze still seeps towards me but then he sighs. "I give up. But don''t forget...I''ll find out your secret soon..." "Haha...I''m sure you will." I doubt he''ll find out that I''m from another world, or rather dimension, unless I give the answer to him straight. Silence filled the air and to escape from boredom, I glanced around. My eyes fell on Hisoka, just laying there, on the side of the boat (well, he was sitting but I think you know what I mean). His eyes were closed and his arms crossed as his pink hair stood on its end as always. Hisoka is one of my least favourite characters but seeing him in reality and up close makes him look interesting as well as deadly. I feel something tugging at my clothes and checking to see what, I find Hisoka''s bungee gum and his alluring smile. What have I done now? Chapter 24 - 21 Last time on My Journey of Hunter x Hunter... Silence filled the air and to escape from boredom, I glanced around. My eyes fell on Hisoka, just laying there, on the side of the boat (well, he was sitting but I think you know what I mean). His eyes were closed and his arms crossed as his pink hair stood on its end as always. Hisoka is one of my least favourite characters but seeing him in reality and up close makes him look interesting as well as deadly. Just as I was about to turn away from him, he looks at me, probably feeling my eyes on him. Panicking, I slip my hood over my face and my hair too to try to make myself disappear but sadly, I think I made it worse. I feel something tugging at my clothes and checking to see what, I find Hisoka''s bungee gum and his alluring smile. What have I done now? I sit still whilst being dragged across the floor of the board to where Hisoka is chilling. I don''t look at him straight away until he speaks. "So, what is your name?" "W-Who? Me? I''m Freeze Kill." I extend a very shaky hand out. He reaches for my hand and grabs it. I grimace as his nails dig slightly into the top of my wrist. "Nice to meet you." I smile nervously. "Why uh...did you pull me over here?" I say, without even thinking. "You looked interesting~" He smirked his iconic Hisoka smile. "Oh...." I tried to shift away. I''m not going to lie, he gives me some crazy creepy vibes. "So...why did you take the Hunter Exam?" I say without thinking, again. "Hmm?" Hisoka looks at me. "Oh okay..." I sit in silence. Suddenly, the boat stops moving, the plank is lowered and the pink haired girl thanks us for our patience. We all stand up. "You''ll be leaving the boat from the ones who completed the last phase the quickest to the slowest. Each one of you will be leaving in 2 minute intervals. You''ll be on the island exactly one week, that means you only have 7 days to collect your 6 points and return to this same location." By the way, I got #145 which is...I don''t know actually, haha. Guess I''ll be spending the first few hours figuring out my target hah. As I finish thinking this, I see that Hisoka is the first one on the island. Then, the second person goes which...oh...I forgot...it''s HIM!!! You know, Killua''s brother in disguise - IlLuMi. If I get to be in this world long enough, I want to have a chance in killing him with my nen but for now, I''ll leave it as that. By the time, it is my turn to go it''s already sundown and I''m the last one to go. "The 25th person may go." "Good luck!" The lady behind me says. I need the luck in this phase because I don''t know what will happen or who I''ll meet along the way. Wish me luck that I make it out of here alive. Chapter 25 - 22 If I remember correctly, the anime showed how Gon and Killua got their points but since I have bonded into this world, I have to do the exam as well...but I don''t know how I''m going to do this since I don''t even know my opponent! However, looking at the other phases of the Hunter Exam before, I think I should be fine since I were able to run for 4 HOURS STRAIGHT without being too tired or out of breath and I were the first contestant to finish my dish for Menchi and Buhara so...I should pass this phase just as easily as I did the others. Walking into the woods, I look around for any signs of life other than my own. All I seem to see is a few feathers from birds and the lingering faeces of wildlife. ''I have one week, huh?'' I think to myself. I''ll try going through the whole area of the island to see how I can hide myself AND if I can find the person who I need to take the tag off from. I start heading through the bristly bushes from my right until I see something move up in the trees in the distance. I stop. Observing slowly, I see Gon''s spiky hair but just barely. Instead of ignoring it and pursuing my journey, I decided to follow him. Besides, you want real life data of what happened with Gon (even if you already kind of know). I follow Gon by running through the swaying trees and spiky bushes below. I''m pretty certain running is a kind of special ''quirk'' for me (otherwise I wouldn''t be able to run so well). I stop abruptly when I find Gon stop just above a certain location. Looking through the bushes I catch a glimpse of Hisoka and see- I feel a hand being placed forcefully over my mouth. "Don''t speak or you suffer." A mysterious voice tells me. "I want you to turn around, walk away and don''t look back. If you don''t do as you''re told, you won''t get out of here alive..." Chapter 26 - 23 Last time on My Journey of Hunter x Hunter... Looking through the bushes I catch a glimpse of Hisoka and see- I feel a hand being placed forcefully over my mouth. "Don''t speak or you suffer." A mysterious voice tells me. "I want you to turn around, walk away and don''t look back. If you don''t do as you''re told, you won''t get out of here alive..." * * * Slowly picking myself off the floor, I start walking forward, a bit like a robot, and try my very best not to look behind me but it''s so damn difficult that I start to sweat like crazy. Why did the mysterious person say that? Will I really die if I looked back? Or were they just bluffing? Why am I scared? Are they even real? Should I turn around anyway and see what happens? I decide to become a rebel and turn around anyway. A splitting pain shoots my heart. I quickly turn away from the guy and race walk away with beads of sweat running down my whole body. That was CLOSE! I should listen to more people in the future...not like I should do...or want to... I start to head through the other side of the island, looking around the scenery and trying to take everything in. Now that I think of it...what if I just got reincarnated into this world at that time and lost all memory at what happened before I started taking the test? Or not. I''m not sure if my brain has any intelligent thoughts left after that close call a few seconds ago. I guess I should make a plan right? I have no idea where my opponent is so a plan would only simplify things. Seeing as I''m still unsure about my skills, strengths and abilities, I should use maybe either half of today or all of today to test myself and get familiar with any flaws that I may have. FWOOSH! "Hm?" I look around me but there''s nothing to see- FWOOSH! I look upwards and see a few blurry movements. I think I should leave my training/assessment for now, this looks like it might get interesting. Chapter 27 - 24 EDIT: *FILLER CHAPTER* (Part 1) I decide to follow the flashes of moving people. I jump up to the lowest branch that the nearest tree has to offer and look at the direction the people went to. West. Flashing and fast. I follow them and see them step in a remote spot (as if this whole island isn''t remote enough). I hide behind a bunch of leaves and see the group closely. There are 8 people: 5 boys and 3 girls. They don''t look like any characters I have seen in Hunter x Hunter. I wonder who they could be¡­? "So, what should we do?" One of them asks another. "Isn''t it simple? We''re going to annihilate all these dummies so no applicant is left." Wait¡­did my ears pick it up right? Did he say they are going to kill all of the applicants in the hunter exam?! Including¡­Gon? Killua? Leorio? Kurapika? Wait¡­and Hisoka¡­and¡­you know¡­The-disguised-Illumi-Zoldyck???? That''s VERY bad news! I''ve got to do something. Now, let me think of a plan. "Why do we have to do this? I kinda liked the look of some of them¡­" One of the girls smiles. "Mizami, we are NOT going to be going over this AGAIN. The boss wants us to finish the tasks so we can get the rewards. You''re not trying to be the ImPoStEr are you?" The leader of the group says. "N-no¡­but can''t we at least leave one alive? The boss will never know¡­" Mizami says. The Boss looks at the girl with a ''Are you kidding me?'' expression. "Never mind. Let''s just go with it¡­" The girl looks kinda sadly at the floor. "I can''t wait to take down that funny haired kid with the green clothes. He looks SOOO weak." One says. "I''m more looking forward to killing that funny looking clown." Another says. "What about you Bigata? Who are you setting your eyes on?" All of them look at the only guy away from the group. Damn! I messed up! Chapter 28 - 25 EDIT: *Filler episode* (Part 2) Last time on My Journey of Hunter x Hunter... "I can''t wait to take down that funny haired kid with the green clothes. He looks SOOO weak." One says. "I''m more looking forward to killing that funny looking clown." Another says. "What about you Bigata? Who are you setting your eyes on?" All of them look at the only guy away from the group. "That guy in the tree." He looks my way and so does everyone else. Damn! I messed up! I quickly move away from the view of the group and try to mentally prepare for whatever happens next. "Hey! Are you going to come down here or not? Or would you rather we came up to you and assassinate you?" I hear one of the gang say. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH" I scream as the guy who talked to me is RIGHT BESIDE ME!!! "So...how long have you been up here for huh?" The guy named Bigata asks me. I''m seriously at a loss of words. "5-2-3-1..." Some words enter out of my mouth. "Haha, was that the answer to your bank account? Anyway, I didn''t come here to talk, did I?" He smiles a VERY evil-kind smile. Suddenly, the phone tree from the bottom starts to lit up in fire. I move out of the way quickly and see the Bigata guy still on the tree in a protective bubble. "What the-" The guy lets out a long line of fire towards me and I instantly duck. "You should prepare yourself." The Bigata guy says. "Huh?" I say as something in the corner of my eyes starts heading my way. I try to see what it is but then find something hit off inside me. Immense power overwhelms me and I feel my whole body throb as if pins and needles were stuck to the insides of my skin. It stops a few seconds later. The only thought I have now is: "I need to kill this guy!" "Well, this is different..." Bigata smirks. I stand up tall and take all the new-found energy inside me and place my hand forward, ready to obliterate him for trying to kill the ones that I don''t want to die (as if he could even touch Killua or Hisoka or, most likely, Illumi, but I''ll like to see him not try). Chapter 29 - 26 NOTE: Filler chapter (Part 3) Feeling the power rising inside of me, I raise my arm up and aim for the Bigata guy. Before I shot an immense amount of dark energy, I notice Bigata smirk. Giving off an immense energy beam from my right arm, I just about spot Bigata vanish into thin air. After watching a faraway tree fall down in slow motion due to my blast, I glance around for Bigata, seeing that he''s nowhere to be seen. "Where could he be?" I ask myself. Looking down, I see the other members of the group staring right up at me. "Hey, are you gonna come down here?!" One of the members shout. "Why should I do that?" I reply back. "I don''t know. Our boss is gone for now, who knows where, and I thought why not get to know you better." "No thanks. You''re the bad guys here." I say. "What? We''re the bad guys?" A big fella cries out from his sleep. "No, of course not Tenrin, go back to sleep." The guy tries to calm him down. "But that cool guy over there said-" "We''re not and Mizami will explain exactly why." He looks over to one of the 3 girls in the group. "Me? Well, um, we''re just following our boss'' orders but individually we''re not bad guys. To be honest, I don''t want to kill anyone else anymore, I just want to have some friends." Her eyes get awfully teary, like you see the characters do in anime when they''re emotional. "Me neither." The big guy name Tenrin joins in the water fest. Both the girl and the big guy cry buckets full of tears from their eyes. The other guy I was speaking to looks kind of annoyed at them. Feeling bad for them, I step off the branch of the tree that I''m standing on and land safely next to the group. "Look you''re not bad, as I can see, I just assumed you were bad guys because of what you, or rather, your boss was planning to do with the fact that this is not your first time you have assassinated people." I say. "It isn''t" A voice speaks into my ear and I jolt out of the way. "Ha ha. It''s only me." I stare at Bigata as he smiles at me whilst twirling a single leaf in the air. "Boss?" The big fella says. "Don''t worry. We''re all good now. I promise not to hurt anyone anymore, how about that?" He tells me. "Yeah right. As if I''ll believe those sarcastic words of yours." I grunt doubtfully. "I know exactly what you mean. You can''t trust a guy you just thought, right? How about this, put up with me for only one night and then take your complaint up for discussion with my Boss tomorrow? How does that sound?" "Your Boss? So you''re not the mastermind behind the plan?" "No, well, not all of it. Most of the main plan comes from the Higher Boss but I help to glue the pieces to the puzzle. That''s why I can''t take all of the credit, since I''m not entirely responsible." I think. Today I''ve been able to tap into a new power of mine but I''m not even sure if it''s enough to defeat someone like Killua, or Hisoka or Bisky-san or even Netero...or even the Chimera ants. So, I''m hoping Bigata''s Boss is a right old softie and won''t kill me as soon as he lays his eyes on me. "But what makes you so sure that I''ll spend the night sleeping next to my enemy?" I ask. "You don''t have to stay here. We''ll be camping over there, near the bushes, so you can sleep in the tree or in one of the tents we have for you." Mulling over the idea, I decide to take refuge up the tree, for my safety. Before heading off, Mizami calls me. "Wait. We still don''t know what your name is." "...Just call me Freeze Kill." I say confidently. Now that''s what I call a comeback. Sun. Blazing on my skin. Wind. Breezing through my hair. Branch. Piercing through my back. Sound. Telling me that I''m needed. "Freezy? Oh Freezy! Wake up! It''s time to go!" Mizami calls out. "Huh? I raise my head, sleepily. "Hey Freeze. Down here." Glancing down, I see everyone waiting for me with their bags full of personal belongings. Sighing quietly, I raise my body and jump down, joining the gang with some heart, good old berry juice. If you''re wondering why I still haven''t had my number tag taken away from me, it''s because I hid it cleverly inside the tree I was on so even if someone were to search in the night, they wouldn''t find my badge. "How long will it be, roughly, until we reach the Higher Boss?" I ask, half an hour later. "Just forty more minutes." Bigata answers. "Actually, it''s 42 minutes and 59 seconds exactly. We have to go straight for 13 minutes and 16 seconds then take a 40 degree curve tot he right and walk for 16 minutes and 30 seconds before taking a sharp left and going straight for 13 minutes and 13 seconds to our destination¡­" One of the more quieter members of the group talks. "And there goes Mr. Big Brain. The Mastermind behind Mathematics." Markban comments. "Enough chit chat, let''s pick up the pace." Bigata tells everyone. We''ve arrived at the Higher Boss'' place and it looks nothing like I had imaged on my way here. "Welcome to Big Boss Henzinman''s lair Since their working hours are so valuable, I''ll let you go in and talk with them." Bigata gestures over at me. "Wait. By myself?" "Yes. It would be a nuisance if all of us were to go in together, that''s why you must go in alone since you''re the only one who has any business with Henzinman." He''s not wrong but I wasn''t expecting to go alone. Ah well, I have to be brave and face this on my own, otherwise I just be deemed a wimp. Exhaling nervously, I step into the den and mentally prepare to face my destiny. Chapter 30 - 27 "Hello?" My voice echoes in the darkness. I''ve been walking for 4 minutes already in this darkness and there seems to be no sign of light OR life. Then, I spot a glimmer of light through moss hanging from the ceiling above. Running towards it, I leap across the green veil and find a totally unexpected sight. "La la lalala laaaaa~" A man sings behind a sofa made of wood, wearing nothing more than a short, black t-shirt and black trousers. He turns around and looks at me. "Cousin?" He mutters upon getting a glimpse of me. "Uh...I think you''ve got the wrong guy." I say. "I was just testing you, but...who are you really?" He asks. "I''m Freeze Kill and I''ve come to get some answers." I speak, confidently. "Answers, eh? What kind of answers?" "Well..." I take a list out and start reading it. "Why are you trying to annihilate everyone on this island?" I start. "More like I overheard them." I correct him. "Frankly speaking, this island should have no people other than the Red Group. But this year, the Hunter Exam people decided to host one of the stages of the Hunter Exam here. In order for peace to be restored, everyone that''s not part of the Red Group must be destroyed. I hope you understand." The guy answers. "I do but it''s only for 7 days. After that, the Red Group will be left alone once more." "Yes but we can''t wait for that long." "Indeed. I have a job as the leader of the Red Group to ensure our safety and invisibility. We can''t have any outsiders discovering us." A person speaks and comes into view as a small child, who could be a million years old. "What if...What if I help you in exchange of helping me with a small favour?" I say. "A wager huh? What is your condition?" The girl seems intrigued. "If I help keep the Red Group hidden for the next seven days, would you be able to get a number tag, like this, off the one I''m trying to find?" I propose my idea. There''s a small pause in speech before the girl gives her answer. "That''s fine because I know I''ll succeed." "Alright then, I''ll leave the safety of the Red Group in your hands. You can go off now." She turns and disappears to where she first appeared. The other guy I was talking to just smiles which makes me a little bit uncomfortable, so I start heading back the way I came and stand in front of Bigata and the others. Mission 1: Protect the Red Group. Chapter 31 - 28 It''s the 4rd day and I''m currently on top of a tree on the look out for any more Red Group members. So far, I''ve only found 5 out of the 50 residing on this island. It''s a pain but I have to do it otherwise my favour won''t be made and I''ll get kicked out of the Hunter Exam. I sigh and look to my right. I see a contestant standing by themselves. Hmm? Wait a minute. Isn''t that Killua? What should I do? Should I say ''Hi''? Maybe I should leave him? I don''t know what to do!! I decide to go to him and introduce myself. He may not like me much but it''s better than being by myself and, besides, some bonding won''t harm anyone. "Hey Killua." I say one I''m within a couple metres of him. Killua looks at me and then frowns. "What are you doing here?" Her says. "I just came to say hello. I don''t know anyone much except you and Gon and a bit of Leorio and Kurapika but that''s it." I answer, nervously. "Hmm." He looks me up and down then starts walking. "Have you got your opponents tag yet?" I ask. "Oh, that''s good." "What about you? You didn''t manage to get the tag yet?" Killua says. "No, not yet but I''m in the process of getting it. I have a good plan so everything will work out." I say. "Really? You do know we only have 3 days left, right?" "Yes. Don''t worry, I''ll be able to find it." "I''m not worrying. I''m just checking that you aren''t that contestant that doesn''t get to pass the 4th Phase of the Hunter Exam." Killua says coldly. I''m a bit taken back by what he said. ''Oh I WILL pass the Hunter Exam'' is what I want to say but I don''t want to sound too confidence so I say: "So, if you found your tag what are you doing now?" "That''s true." I smile. Ping! I hear a sound from a location not far from here. I turn around to the direction of the sound and pinpoint who the person is. It''s a member of the Red Group! As long as nobody finds out or knows about the Red Group but I then everything will be okay. "Hey Killua? To speed up time, tell me about your family. I''ll tell you mine in return." I suggest. Killua stares at me in thought. "Alright." He agrees. Chapter 32 - 29 "I''m part of a family of ten. Of course I won''t talk about all of them." Killua starts. I nod whilst trying to pinpoint the location of the Red Group member. "I''m the 3rd oldest. My younger siblings are Kalluto and Alluka Zoldyck and my older siblings are Milluki and Illumi Zoldyck. Then there are my parents Silva and Kikyo Zoldyck. We live at Kuroo Mountain and we have butlers. And that''s it that I''ve got to say." He says. I knew he would end it short, after all, I''m a stranger. "Now tell me about your family." Killua says. "Right." I try to think about my family back on Earth. "I''m an only child who lives with my mum and dad. I don''t have any grandparents and no pets. That''s it, I guess." I say anxiously. "Short." Killua says. "Yeah, there''s nothing else to say, yours was short too." "That''s because there''s nothing much to say." Killua answers. "That goes for me too. Guess we''re not too different after all." I smile. Killua looks at me and then keeps on walking with his iconic hands-behind-his-back walk. I look around for the Red Group member and find them looking directly at Killua''s and mine direction. "Hey, Killua. Since you got your tag, why not explore the island? Have you seen any fun places so far?" I quickly say. "Hmm? Not really. I don''t focus on my surroundings." Killua replies. Typical Killua. "Really? I saw a place which we can check out." I say, pointing to the location. "Hmm okay." Killua agrees and jumps up to a tree branch. "Show me the way." He shouts down to me. I look back to the Red Group member and quickly say: "Alright, coming." * * * "It''s alright." Killua shrugs. "Oh. Well, it''s better than doing nothing." "True." . . . "I''m bored." I say, laying down on the floor. "That''s what I was thinking." Killua says. "Do you want to play some pranks?" I suggest. "What have you got in mind?" Chapter 33 - 30 "Okay. So, my plan is to throw water on that guy." I whisper to Killua as I tell him my plan whilst watching one of the contestants we found hanging around. "That''s your idea of a prank?" Killua looks at me with a funny look. "Well...yeah...that''s the first thing that came to mind when I thought of pranks. I don''t usually play pranks on people often." Or at all. "Hmm..." Killua thinks. "Could you get me a couple of branches and some leaves?" Killua says. "Sure." I say, knowing that a prank is underway. I get the items together in a reasonable time and proceed to give it to Killua who I spot on the ground, near the contestant we''re supposed to prank. I land next to him. "Here." I place the branches, twigs and leaves I collected on the floor next to Killua. "Alright. My plan is to trap someone using the leaves by digging a deep hole and just waiting for them to fall in. This area is the most common spot for others to walk by so it shouldn''t take long before a dummy falls for the trap." Killua explains. "Also, we''ll need about 10X more leaves than this." He looks at the little pile of leaves that''s laying sadly, watching at us like we''re Titans. "Ah right. I''ll go get the stuff." I walk away to get as much leaves as possible. By the time I''m done, Killua has already dug a summer big hole that could host all the contestsants of the current Hunter Exam. "Wow. Impressive work." I compliment him. Typical Killua to respond to that...like that. We place all the twigs and branches on top of the hole as a team (Yes!) and placed the leaves on top and around the surrounding area so that people don''t think that this is a trap. After setting everything up, we hide behind a nearby tree and wait for someone to idly walk by. "There." Killua whispers as one contestant walks towards the trap. The person stops and looks around and then keeps on walking forward and step, plop, he''s down the hole. "Yes!" Me and Killua shout out. That didn''t take long. "So, what now?" I ask. "Off to our next prank." Killua smirks. "Ready when you are." I smile, happy to know that I have a good ally by my side (and an assassin at that). I hope Killua and I become great friends from now on. I think we would make a pretty great team. Chapter 34 - 31 It''s finally the last day for us to get our tag and I''m at the place where I last met the ''Boss'' of Bigata and the rest of the Red Group. "Thank you for making sure that the Red Group was unfound by any outsiders. As per your request, we have obtained the tag that you so willingly wanted us to get." The leader passes me the tag of my opponent.?? "No problem, it was a piece of cake." I chuckled nervously. To be honest, there was a time that I messed up when a contestant discovered one of Red Group members but I quickly directed them away from the member and tried to get the thought out of their head that they saw someone unfamiliar. "I''m guessing that this yours, and everyone elses, last day here, right?" The small leader says. "Yes. I''ll be leaving now. It was nice to meet you all, Bigata, Boss and everyone else." I smile and salute. "The same to you. Hope everything works out for you." Bigata says. "I''ll miss you Freezy." Mizami, one of the girls, says. "Ah, will you?" I say, a bit flattered to be thought important to be missed. "Yes. I hope that I''ll be able to see you again." She smiles. "Well, I better get going before they leave without me." I say. Everyone waves bye as I slowly walk away to where I first came onto the Island. It was nice to meet some people that I wasn''t expecting to meet here. I hope there will be a lot more people and hunters like them in the future. Chapter 35 - 32 "Hey, wake up." One of the contestants wakes me up. "Huh?" I say, rubbing my eyes, trying to figure out where I am again. "We''re here." The same contestant says. "Oh right." I answer, getting up and brushing any debris off myself. We walk to where we need to be in with Netero and wait for the last Phase of the Hunter Exam to commence. The Chairman explains to us that in order to pass we only need one win and the losers will move up the bracket until one applicant fails. This is so there are eight new Hunters. As chairman Netero keeps on giving information, I keep staring at the match ups that were picked. I nod thoughtfully as I see that I''m not in the fighting bracket at all! Whilst Gon and the bald Hanzo guy begin to start their fight, I move silently over to Netero and ask him why I''m not on the bracket. "Meet me after the contestants are chosen. Your fight will happen then." He answers back. "Huh?" I think as I walk away and back to my place. What does he mean for my fight? Am I not fighting with one of the people here? Also, who am I fighting then? I look over to the fight and see the Gon all battered up. "Don''t worry Leorio...this is nothing." Gon huffs as he places his hands on his knees, trying to find a way to counter attack Hanzo''s moves, however, Hanzo swipes his leg round Gon''s legs which makes him fall defeatedly down to the ground. I wince at the sight, knowing how much pain he must be in. The Hanzo guy goes down to Gon and says that he''s going to break his arm. The whole atmosphere in the big room goes dark and distressing. I forgot how the last phase of the Hunter Exam went but I think I''m reminded again by being here in reality. "I''m not joking so give up. Surrender." The Hanzo guy says. This is giving me very weird vibes. "Never!" Gon shouts out. Hanzo moves Gon''s arm in a way meaning to break it which a huge ''CRACK'' can be heard. The atmosphere becomes silent. I don''t blame him. I also feel an immense feeling of rage inside me that wants the fighting to stop but I can''t do anything. If I heard correctly, the guards said that if anyone interferes in anyone else''s fights, the person fighting will be disqualified so there''s nothing Leorio, I or anyone can do but watch Gon trying to beat his rival. Hanzo starts talking about his backstory and everything about him which probably bores everyone over (including me) then, Gon kicks him which send the Hanzo guy down. He gets up and threatens to chop Gon''s legs and kill him. All in all, Gon used his cleverness and outsmarted Hanzo, making Hanzo surrender and make Gon the winner.
