The Weakest Link of My Chain

Welcome to Greed Island

Previously on Chapter 5" Alright" Illumi spoke aloud, " The Kurtan eyes would be in Green Island". A victory was won, not for himself, but for Killua. As swiftly as he came, both Illumi and Canary pushed the gates, left disapeared inside. Before they closed Kurapika caught a glimpse of Canary's smile. She must be proud. When the doors slammed shut, shaking the ground under it. " You know..." Starlted Kurapika had forgotten Chrollos was there. " your skill of deception was on par with that of a spider. If you would let me just..." "I thought, I already told you no." Where did this new found self-assurance come from, he wondered. A faint chuckle snapped him out, " I find it charming, that your lack of esteem is being shielded by false tenacity" and just like that Kurapika was provoked and enraged again.

Continuation:

" What you know about self-esteem, Chrollo", Kurapika lashed. " Well, what do I know? What does anyone know? We are all solving pieces of the puzzle, in a world that constantly rejects us. A dark chuckle rumbled echoed through Chrollo's chest, " My, little Kurta, you always must have the last word don't you" his eyes illuminating with sheer thrill. His laughter rumbled through Kurapikas entire body," you may have the last word, but I will have the last laugh, I assure you". Completely switching his demenor, Chrollo gazed at the sky and calmly breathed, " We must get going to Greed Island; allow me to make some phone calls", and walks away with collectedness. " What a weirdo", Kurapika mumbled. One minute he's ready to pounce on me, and the next he's making serious phone calls. Thirty minutes passed by with Chrollo on the phone, distancing himself from the Kurta, the tour bus pulled up, full of new tourists. " YOU GUYS ARE STILL ALIVE", the tour bus leader boomed. Disguising his annoyance, Kurapika polietly replied, " Yes, we are. Thank you for your concern." As he walked towards the bus, Chrollo caught his wrist, " The only apperant way to enter Greed Island is through a video game set". " A video game set? Greed Island is a video game?! I thought it was a real place", he exhausted. " Yes, it is. The only entrance allowed is through a video game controller and a special password encyrpted for nen users". "How do you know this", the Kurta questioned, his eyes displaying dirtrust. " My spiders attempted to enter by ship to the island, but were forced to leave". Kurapika scoffed, " YOUR spiders were kicked out? Couldn't they murder their way in? After all isn't that what they do best, destory?". Glaring at Kurapika, Chrollo prompted, " There was no reason for death. Besides, there was nothing of interest for the Troupe. Instead, you should be thanking them for helping you in your efforts". " Gratitude? Towards the Troupe?", he mocked, " Your spiders deserved to have met their fate with my chains". The bus speaker abruptly announced, " ALL PASSENGERS HAVE 30 SECOUNDS TO GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE BEFORE THEY ARE LEFT BEHIND", making eye contact with Chrollo and Kurapika. The bus ride was mostly silent with only a few whispers revolving around Zoldyck family rumors. Kurapika could care less, as he gazed out the window watching the mountainous landscape. When they reached the airport, it became a rush to buy the tickets back to York New, and find a same-day flight. After waiting four hours they finally boarded their flight. Kurapika watched as the mounatains became ocean, sea and sky blended into one dark void littered with stars, and the ground kept getting higher a buildings made themselves known. Finally, they reached the city. As they made their way into headquarters, Kurapika turned to Chrollo, " Just out of curiosity, which of the members are going to be assisting us". "Shalnark and Feitan". Well can't be worse than Uvogin and Nobunaga, he thought. " Of course, if you wish, I could always switch them for Uvogin and Nobunaga", slying smirking, Chrollo added. " No, I think we will get along just fine", Kurpika said sacarstically. As the hours passed, sleep tugged at Kurapikas heavy eyelids, in which he refused to let himself fall into. He would not allow Chrollo to see him in a vunerable postion again. Chrollo just chuckled his efforts he found childish and continued to read his book. When the plane landed the blondes eye bags seemed to be sinking into his face, and his hair disheavled. In contrast, Chrollo looked well groomed save for a few loose strands of hair. When they left the airport, they drove for thirty minutes back to Phantom Hideout. The place looked just as horrid as when Kurapika was last there. The windows broken, and the floor filled with sharded glass spread on top of layers dirt. The back of the room littered with enourmous boulders, standing over ten feet. The air heavy with dust, making it hard to breathe. The eeire noises of wind passing through the thin walls sounded like the dead wailing for life. In the dark shadow, sat Feitan with his knee up and his arm resting on it. His cloak concealing his facial features enhanching the dark eyes that peaked out. They seemed to be peering into Kurapikas soul. He could see the veiled hate and resentment. This particular member was a sadist by nature, and a tourter for pleasure. His gaze heavy too bear, he turned to look at Shalnark in sitting on the boulder with a green glowing light on his face. His fingers typing at a inhumane speed on the keyboard as his eyes scanned each line of code. He seemed too focus to even notice his own boss in enter. " Shal, are you almost done", Chrollo asked. Jumping at the sudden comment, " Oh sorry, boss I am close to being finished". Finally looking from his screen, " Oh Kurta, your here, happy to have you"! Although, doubtful of the sincerity in which he said it, Kurapika was glad to have someone make an optomistic remark about him. " Not so happy to be here", Kurapika replied. " Oh is that so, I think your going to like what I have in store for you. Boss, I am completely finished. Here you go"! He jumped off the rock and landed in front of them, stretching out his hand to reveal a single ring and video game card. " Wait". Realeasing a sigh, " What is it now, Kurapika", Chrollo unamuzly huffed. " How are we all going to enter Greed Island if there is only one controller? We are four people, so what about the other three." Chrollo leaned forward and closed his face in on Kurapikas, so that their noses were nearly touching. Nervously the blonde began to sqirm, Chrollo breathed " I'm glad to see you are thinking about your teammates". His voice warm and light, almost comforting. Aburptly, he straightned himself, " You are starting to behave like a true spider. Isn't that right Shalnark"? " Sure is boss." " Anyways, all of the TROUPE members have their own rings and cards, becuase they were able to obtain one one their own. However, we could not find any for you, so instead we made one with remants of used video gaming parts". A certain phrase had stopped Kurapika dead on his tracks, " Chrollo, what do you mean by ALL of the spiders"? " You made it appear as if there was only going to be four of us". He tapped his finger against his lips and hummed, " My apologies, I thought I had made it clear. Shalnark and Feitan will be entering with us, but we will be rejoing all of the spiders in the game". Panicking his mind began to race, instead of three spiders he would have to deal with all thirteen. All whom equally loathed his entire being. To them, he was supposed to die that night with the rest of his clan. Him being alive is a mistake of their own failure. If he were to go alone with them anywhere, his body would be found skinned and beaten with his eyes missing. If it came to that there was no possible way he could take them on his own. " Chrollo, your next meeting is not supposed to be for another two years". His smile curved into a smirk, " Yes and for some reason, they all volunteered to be apart of the misson. It seems you are popular with them." These next weeks were going to become hell for Kurapika, to say the least. " Shal, Feitan, it is time. Turn on the consule." " Kurapika, put on your ring, and make sure to activate your nen." Shalnark placed the consule on the floor and they all huddled around it. Kurapika could practically feel Feitan's cloak touching him everytime he moved and it made him shiver. " Fei, Shalnark, and Kurapika go in first. There is something I must do", Chrollo commanded without looking up from his phone, as if he was checking something. Kurapika glared at him, with suspiscion, until their eyes met. " Go on." " Alright, boss", Shal pressed the on button, and it made a 'tring' sound as the consule lit up. The spider placed his ring on, activated his nen, and his disapeared. Feitan seemed skeptical, but went through the same movements until he too was gone. Kurapika gave one last glance over his shoulder to Chrollo, who was still on his phone. He slid the ring down his finger, turned on his nen, darkness and then a sudden burst of light.Kurapika woke in a daze, wondering if perhaps this was all a dream. He realized this was very much real, when he saw Feitan and Shalnark looming over his body. " Hey, you made it" a cheery voice welcomed. The Kurtan was too stunned to speak. The wall were white, filled with grey tunnels, running with rainbow colored lights inside of them. The lights were most likely the coding connecting them to the game. It was the strangest place Kurapika had ever encountered in his entire life. He heard a thud, meaning Chrollo had arrived. As he got up, he annouced, " It seems we will be reuniting with a former Spider". There was only one Kurapika could think of. " HISOKA! He is here"! " It appears so", the leader apathetically let out. Feitan and Shalnark looked at each other meaningfully. Kurapika had lied to Hisoka about Illumi's proposal. He had taken away one of his favorite toys. There was a no way he'd be let off this easily. "Hello, there", a small woman called out. She was floating on a white ball with the tubes. Her skin and hair matching in paleness, with bright round blue eyes. " Would you like me to explain the game rules to you"? " Yes please", Shalnark replied. " In this game, you may pick up items which can be transofrmed into cards. Just say "gain" and they will transform. Please note that if you selected the same card again, and repeat "gain" they will materialize into the item. You will also have a book to store these cards in. Just call out the word "book" and it will be appear. The objective of this game is to collect all 100 cards in your book. This is the only way to succeed. Now you may begin". A set of stairs appeared in the floor below them and as they went down, she called " Enjoy the game". As they walked down into the grassy area, and looked around into the forest and path ahead, Chrollo spoke, " Fei, Shal, Kurapika, welcome to Greed Island".
