A Twist to Our Futures (Killua X OCs X Gon)

Chimera Ant - Chapter 30

Lizzy's POV:

I sat down next to Gon and leaned on a tree, feeling angry and displeased by what my sister thought about me. A little weakling who couldn't defend herself in times of danger. What was she thinking trying to keep me from fighting any powerful enemies? I looked up at the night sky, trying to empty my mind from earlier.

"Here." Gon said, and I saw him giving me some fruit to eat. I took it.

"Thanks." I took a bite and tasted the sweetness and juiciness of the fruit.

"Hey. Did you really mean it when you said you won't be saying anything to Lynn until she understands? What does she not understand about you?"

I made a disgruntled noise. "Why does she care about my weakness when I can stop a fight in less than a second with my ability? Seriously, she's so stupid!" I scowled and took another bite of my fruit.

"Don't think about her that way! She's your sister, and she really cares about you. You have to apologize to her and prove yourself that you can fight at full strength." He told me, and I turned my head away from him.

"As if! She won't help me get stronger because she thinks I'll do something foolish that can result in failure in the mission and the deaths of millions of civilians. There's no way I'm talking to her until she understands what it means for me to become one of the strongest fighters in the world." I took another bite and chewed the fruit in contempt.

Gon sighed and took a bite of his fruit. "Well, I wonder if she's okay. Killua, too."

I gripped my fruit tightly, digging my nails into the flesh. Suddenly, I felt someone's presence behind us, making both of us tense up and drop our fruits. We turned our heads around to see a really huge snake ant. We jumped back to avoid getting caught in his tail. The tree we were sitting against collapsed. We gasped at his freakish appearance. That tail was so long!

"Nice job dodging. How about this?" The ant began to coil his tail as a spring, greatly astonishing me. Then he began bouncing around us at an unbelievable speed. I couldn't tell where he was going to attack us from.

"I can use my tail to bounce in and out of trees! It's impossible to follow my moves in the dark!" He laughed as he continued to ricochet off trees and confuse us. All of a sudden, I felt his tail wrapped around me and Gon.

"Hey, let us go, you freak!" I shouted at him.

The snake ant continued laughing. "I don't think so! I'm gonna crush you guys like tiny little bugs!"

I glared at him, not caring if he enjoyed crushing us. Suddenly, Gon effortlessly broke himself and me free from his grasp, shocking the ant. His eyes bulged in shock.

"You're not crushing us." Gon said before jumping up, me following along.

"Take this, you freak!" I screamed, drawing back my fist and landing a punch on the ant's stupid face. The impact knocked him out, so we tied him to a tree using his own tail and ran away.

"Lizzy! Use your En!" Gon told me, and I nodded. Using Ren, I enveloped some space around my body and kept the shape of my aura using Ten. The radius was about two meters, and it increased by a couple more as I ran.

I gasped. "I sense two ants following us!"

"What? Where?"

"Somewhere in the trees!"

With that said, they attacked us, and we dodged as quickly as we could. Still feeling their presence, I turned around and saw an owl and a bat, evil smirks painted on their faces. They flew up and disappeared.
