Gon pov

Me and Biskey had been swimming down to the caverns for around ten minutes now. It was a long swim it seems. But at the moment that wasn't what was on my mind. I felt bad for turning Killua and Leorio away like that. But this fight isn't theirs... I couldn't let them get involved in something that could become so gruesome.

I looked up now to see that we were in darker waters. We were probably almost at the right altitude where shark mermaids live. Like kurapika. It was to the point where sunlight was barely visible, but still enough to keep things around us a dark blue.

It took a few more minutes of swimming, and we finally reached what I assumed to be the caverns. We entered through a pretty narrow space, and went out into a large cave like structure. Inside were about a hundred mermaids... many were injured and being tended to, while the rest were just by themselves. Or they were setting up supplies and weapons.

When we arrived, everyone froze in our presence.

"Biskey? Is that the gon kid you were talking about?"

I turned and saw a male mermaid approaching us from the left. His hair was styled a little strange, and his muscles were quite vast. His eyebrows seemed to remain in an angry expression, while his mouth rested in an easy frown. His tail was colored pure white, with some sharp fins coming out from the sides.

"Yes, everyone I'd like you to meet Gon. He's one of my students. Obviously we had to go on hold due to... the situation at hand." Biskey said to them all, and I got a few waves and smiles from the crowd. It made my spirits lift a bit.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Gon! I'm knuckle! I'll be helping out with this operation here. " the merman named Knuckle introduced himself and I smiled.

"It's nice to meet you too!! So what's your position in all of this?" I asked, rather curious.

"Well, I am actually one of the leaders in this fine group. I help train the survivors coming in and help them gain abilities based off of their talents!" Knuckle explained his position, which made my eyes twinkle in awe.

"Whoa that's so cool!!" I cheered and he chuckled.

Suddenly another male mermaid came up behind him. His face structure was thin, with his chin meeting at a rather sharp point. His eyes rested under his exhausted eyebrows. Then his hair was tied up securely in a pony tail with his elfish ears being revealed. His tail was definitely descended from a Tuna or other common sea fish. It shined a silvery color along with some purple tints at the edge of his fins.

"Oh and this is my very good friend! His name is Shoot, and he actually leads in weaponry and strategy!" Knuckle exclaimed, obviously being proud of his friend.

Shoot looked down to me with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you." Shoot said with a slight smile before returning to his neutral expression.

Once introductions were done and over with, Biskey had everyone gather up. I swam next to her, and I examined the crowd of survivors. Many seemed to be under middle age. There were some older ones among them, but not many. There were actually quite a few children lingering around.

"Well, we know that the king of those... things will be arriving here any day. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up right this instant. Because his power in the currents, are way to powerful to be a far distance. But don't feel panicked. They wouldn't be able to find us here, because they are different from us. We have echo location, which helps us direct ourselves through rock or other things. But I noticed that they on the other hand... don't have that sense." Biskey told us, and I took a mental note of that.

"So here's the plan based off of what we've discussed in private..."

I looked to my right to see a thin, slender merman. His black hair was styled in a fancy way actually. And he had- glasses on? I wonder how he's doing that when underwater... his tail was much like Kites. Black, and had cloud like fins.

"We decided that we should form groups. Then take them on from every angle. We formed the groups based off of skill and knowledge in this matter. It's not from weakest to strongest, it's deciding whose talents will fit together best." The merman said and Biskey leaned over towards my ear.

"Oh I forgot to mention him, his name is Knov. He's actually a lot of the Brains behind this plan." She whispered, making me nod to clarify my understanding.

"So... group assignments will be posted tomorrow most likely. Until then we won't pass out any information on what groups will do to take part. We are very carefully handling king this plan, because... any one of you could shove us into the gutter." Knov scowled.

"Ok ok, Knov they get the idea." Knuckle hissed into his ear.

Knov just folded his arms then and dismissed everyone.

"Good job with scaring the shit out of em eh." Knuckle said teasingly, and seriously at the same time. Huh... a weird combination but whatever.

"I'm sorry but, how else am I supposed to explain it? We are going into a battle that will most likely end our lives. So deal with it." Knov responded back to him.

Biskey rolled her eyes at their rambling and grabbed them both by the ear.

"Alright... that's enough out of you two. My ears are ringing already from just hearing your complaints.." Biskey said and let them both go once they apologized.

Knov then looked over to me with a grin.

"Oh, and you must be Gon. Gon Freecss! I've heard of you from Biskey actually quite a few times. She says you have quite the power of your sleeve hm?" Knov said.

I nodded up to him with my muscles tightening a little. I wasn't scared but... I was nervous. I just kept thinking of all the ways I could possibly mess this all up... a simple mistake could turn it all around in an instant.

"Y-ya I guess so." I say to him with a awkward smile. Knov didn't seem to notice though, which had me sigh in relief.

Killua pov

No no... I couldn't believe this!! Gon is going out there, and he could die! Then he's also permitting us from joining the fight. Which makes me even more frustrated. It's not that I want to fight so badly, I just... I want to protect my best friend. And if I can't be by his side then it's impossible to do so.

"Killua... hey calm down your breathing fast again..." Leorio said from where he sat on the couch beside me.

After Gon and Biskey left at the beach, we went home. There was nothing else we could do about it. I wish there was but... that would be a damn miracle.

"S-sorry I... I'm so worried about him!" I sobbed aloud towards Leorio, and my body shook.

Leorio frowned then and he rubbed my shoulder gently. I looked up to him to see he had tears of his own spilling out.

"I am too Killua... I know... but we have to believe in him. I really think he could put up a good fight. The king is my only concern... I don't want those two crossing paths. Because due to Kites death, Gon wouldn't even hesitate once to burn him to the ground." Leorio said, and I nodded in agreement.

"Ya I know... it's not only that but I also miss him.... even though it's been almost a half hour, I miss his smile. His smile was the brightest experience ever in my day. Even brighter than the sun.." I say while feeling my heart ache in misery. I couldn't bare to imagine Gon dead. No... I couldn't even think about it!

I suddenly slammed my fist into the wooden coffee table. Which had my knuckles go red along with my palm.

"Hey hey calm down... maybe we can find a way to help. But until then we can only watch, and listen." Leorio said, which he made a very fair point.

Just watching this happen made me cold to the bone.

Don't fret, it'll all be over soon
