Lynn's POV:

Killua and I saw Knuckle fighting Youpi in a crater, trying to run away from the Royal Guard. We knew we had to help him, so we decided to attack Youpi together to let him land a couple of hits on him.

We jumped up in the air, and Killua used his attack first.

"Thunderbolt!" He yelled, sending a bolt of lightning down on Youpi, shocking him.

"Aqua Spritz!" I focused everything I had to squirt a big burst of water down on him, increasing the intensity of the lightning. Youpi screamed in pain as we landed on the ground and watched.

Knuckle landed eight hits and ran up the crater, and I heard him cheering loudly as he ran away from Youpi, who was still paralyzed from our coordinated attacks.

The two of us started to descend the crater, preparing ourselves to attack.

"Sorry, but what's about to happen is us letting out some steam, 'cause we're a little pissed off right now." The ex-assassin said, engulfing himself in his lightning aura to fight him.

"We'll go all out on you, so be ready." I warned him.

Killua disappeared and reappeared in front of the Royal Guard, the electricity crackling on his hands. He took a second to shock him while I jumped up high and splashed him with Aqua Spritz. Youpi screamed in pain again and tried to launch a counterattack, but we both dodged and Killua kicked him in the face. I activated Scorching Inferno and engulfed my fist in flames, then I punched him in the face with everything I got.

Before he could even roar, Killua shocked him again, and I used Aqua Spritz to increase the damage. Youpi was paralyzed, giving us the chance to attack him many times. Killua kicked him twice and punched him once. I dealt two fiery punches and kicked him in the face.

We took turns attacking Youpi continuously with our physical attacks and Nen abilities. However, I was a lot slower than Killua, so Youpi almost landed some hits on me. I used Aqua Spritz once more after Killua dealt even more damage with his electric attack. I went to the boy and glared at the Royal Guard.

Killua's electricity suddenly went out, making him jump. He took off running up the crater and I followed him, dodging another one of Youpi's attacks. When we reached the top, Meleoron grabbed us and immediately activated God's Accomplice, allowing us to successfully escape Youpi.

We got into one of the rooms in the palace and Killua began to recharge himself through a socket.

"Once I get myself charged up, Lynn and I will go back to Gon. You go check on Knuckle. Pouf is outside the barrier, so it's very likely the big guy was taken out. Review the situation, then you and Knuckle decide whether to fight or retreat." Killua explained.

"Wait. What about you guys?" Meleoron asked.

"Once Gon gets in that state, he won't budge. I'm afraid he'll go down for Pitou's life."

Meleoron and I sighed, and he shot us an annoyed glare.

"I'm kidding! We're fine! I've got the magic word 'Kite' as backup. Just leave it to me." He reassured us.

We waved goodbye to Meleoron, and I waited for a long time for Killua to finish charging himself. After he was done, we ran into a hallway and passed by corpses of Chimera Ant soldiers. When we got to the intersection, Killua stopped, and I did too, feeling someone's presence nearby. We took a peek around the corner and saw nobody there.

That's odd. I felt a familiar presence around here. Who is it that's watching us?

Killua pulled out his yo-yo and let it roll about two feet away from him. He and I observed the reflection on the metal for a moment, and nobody was still there. Then suddenly, we gasped when we saw someone coming our way and heard their footsteps pattering on the floor. When they stepped into the moonlight, I thought I recognized someone I knew. A dark-haired woman wearing a pink dress. That's...that had got to be Palm! But...she looked kinda different to me. There were fish scales and fins on her forelimbs and a crystal ball was on her forehead. There was also blood around her chest, which meant she had stabbed herself when she got captured by the Royal Guard.
