Over the course of a month, everyone worked tirelessly to place their respective pieces on the board.

Nahida liked to imagine an actual chess board between their sides.

The Ants have all spread out. Gaining chess pawns in the form of military personnel and control over the NGL government. Using its deceased governor and Pitou's Nen for complete control.

Killua and Morel managed to split such pawns in half. Some of their Ant, who Nahida liked to consider as their chess horses, were also taken.

While the Ants still held control over the NGL, their Ant soldiers were defeated rapidly.

Palm worked with Nahida inside the Governor's palace. When she infiltrated the underground by exploiting the secret leader's abusive power dynamic over various women, Nahida was right by her side in the form of a small Neo.

Her work was to place the little beings all around, being Nahida's pen so she could write a map of the Palace and its internal works.

Kite, Wanderer and Gon traveled across the NGL to find the other Ants. Either exterminating, or welcoming them into the group.

Now, Palm was safely guided outside by Nahida. Knov placed his portal by the base of the first floor's stairs, and everyone returned into Knov's white room.

The place that connected each of his portals to a common room. Nahida's place of operation, and their meeting room.

Their chest board had slowly grown even through sheer power rather than numbers. Everything was finally in place...

Nahida opened her eyes. Finally breaking the connection with the several, almost thirty different points of view each Neo gave her.

"I now understand what a fly sees..."

Wanderer smirked beside her. "Do you also feel like one?"

"That's subjective..." Nahida gave a weak smile as Wanderer pulled her head into a pillow beside his thigh.

"Get actual rest." Wanderer spoke sternly, yet soft while covering her body with a warm, and heavy blanket.

"I'll fill you in later."

Nahida didn't fight any longer. Finally closing her eyes just to let the darkness consume her.

"She's out?" Killua asked while opening a bag of chips. His face was still slightly injured from the latest fight. Tree routes stitched up the miniature, but deep stab on his forehead.

Gon hummed while flexing his arm. Feeling Nahida's Nen still healing the bruises formed from excessive force in a previous fight. "We're deciding the plan. Right?"

"Our order of attack." Killua added as everyone gathered nearby. Wanderer stayed silent beside Nahida while he leaned against the wall.

"With Nahida's support, we just need to decide who fights who." Killua placed a normal milk carton on the floor. A strawberry milk, a smaller bottle of banana milk and pistachio milk next to each other.

The King had their guards. Youpi, a humanoid chimera with pink skin and a stern, human face. Bulky muscles, round ears and his feet are a mixture of rabbit, horse and deer. This strawberry milk stood behind the pistachio one.

"Youpi, there's not much known about his Nen."

Wanderer hummed in agreement. "It should still be just as strong as the others."

The normal milk carton stood on the right. Representing Pitou, a gender neutral Ant with cat ears and tails. Sharp claws, and thin body, fluffy curls and piercing, dark magenta eyes.

"We know they have a way to control others. Similarly to a puppet master, but also some kind of healing."
