"Wow it's kind of cold" Leorio whispered as he and Kurapika fell down onto the hardened stone floor. Kite's hat was a few inches away and Leorio pointed at it. Kurapika just nodded in acknowledgment. Gon had already started walking around and was trying to figure out how to navigate the unfamiliar environment without much success.

"I have literally no clue where we are," Gon said, seeming deflated but still determined to find Killua. Kurapika looked around, seeing towers of hardened molten lava, and a big open space with devils moving carts of stone in the distance. The devils were far enough that they didn't notice three angels falling through a portal of sorts into their realm, a good thing for Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio.

As Kurapika looked around, he saw a glimpse of white and his eyes widened. He shoved Leorio and Gon behind a relatively large tower of lava rock where no one seemed to be watching them. Leorio looked up startled, and Kurapika hissed. "Our wings!" Leorio looked behind himself and stroked one of his feathery white wings before turning back.

"What about it?" He asked, clueless as he ever was. 

"They're a dead giveaway that we don't belong here. Not to mention were all wearing white and gold. Everyone here is dressed darkly and they have pitch black wings. We stand out like sore thumbs. How the hell are we gonna get through here if were suspicious upon first glance???" Kurapika whisper yelled.

Gon nodded in understanding before looking around. He rubbed his hand against the lava rock, and when he pulled it away, there was some black dust on his hand. He rubbed the dust onto his wing, and the white feathers turned a soot grey color. He rubbed some more dust off the rock and then did a second coat on the experimental patch of his wing. Black as night.

He looked up to see Kurapika and Leorio following his lead. Soon all of their wings were pretty much as black as all the devils roaming around. They'd rubbed some of the dust on their clothes but it was less convincing than the wings. Kurapika looked down at his clothes, at his wings, and then examined the other two as well. "I think this is as good as it's gonna get. We should hurry. Avoid talking to the others here. We have to keep to ourselves as much as possible so we stay under the radar." Leorio and Gon both gave a thumbs up and then they all walked out looking confident but not enough to seem suspicious.

They wandered around for a little while, almost exploring and trying to see if they could gain intel by just being around the other devils. They ended up almost a mile away from the entrance to hell before a devil finally said something helpful that Gon happened to overhear.

"Willy my mate!" A blond devil said enthusiastically to another devil with jet black hair who was pushing a cart of rocks by. 

The black haired devil nodded. "Tobey" he greeted in a less enthusiastic manner but he still seemed happy to see the guy. "I heard they have a prisoner in headquarters. Not really sure. Rumors have been flying man" 

Gon perked up and Kurapika and Leorio started to listen in on the conversation as they tailed the devils from around fifteen feet behind.

"They say he's got white wings. An angel maybe?" The devil named Tobey said.

Gon's eyes widened. He looked back at the other two. "Killua!" he whispered.
