Killua gave Gon the chance to take the first punch, only to have Knuckles swat away his fist in an instant.
Gon grunted as he landed on the ground.
Killua's lip quirked up at the sides, twitching with the urge to fight, next thing anyone knew, he held two yo-yo's.
"Ehhhhh!???" Sakura shouted, "Where did those come from!?"
Knuckles chuckled, "Just like you, Killua."
Bisky smiled proudly, remembering them in practice in the Nen game.
Killua whipped one around and aimed for Knuckles' thigh, which only clipped the side of his foot as he jumped.
"Tch," Killua clicked his tongue.
Shikamaru watched as Gon packed a loaded punch into Knuckles' back.
He stumbled forward, nearly getting a yo-yo to the head but instead rolled on the ground and kicked out a leg to trip Gon.
Killua flashed behind Knuckles to electrocute him, to the ninja it looked as though Killua had succeeded but little did they know that Knuckles had put up an instant protective barrier of nen where he was hit.
The electricity had little effect.
Gon got up on one knee, wiping his mouth, grinning. He charged for Knuckles, jumping onto his back in a desperate pursuit.
Naruto cheered for Gon, "YAAH GO FOR IT!"
Ging grimaced at the boy.
Bisky laughed, "They're the same as always."
Killua jutted out to grab Knuckles arms, and threw him.
Sakura cheered, only to quiet down to see Sasuke unamused.
Gon flew off as Knuckles landed near Wing-San, who simply stepped out of the way.
Morel chuckled, glancing to Shikamaru, "They haven't shown what they're really capable of yet."
Shikamaru's eyes narrowed as he placed his chin on his hands, he was sitting crossed-legged.
Kakashi made a similar gesture.
Sasuke frowned, activating his sharingan to follow their quick movements.
Hinata tried to see how their nen worked, but was unable to pinpoint their chakra pathway.
"It's just all over," Hinata looked to Neji, who had spoken.
"Based on what I know," Kurapika joined the cousins' conversation, "Both Gon and Killua are just showing a fraction of the power they possess."
Bisky nodded in agreement, "They're monsters."
Kakashi peeked up at the word, not going unnoticed by Kurapika.
"KILLUA, now!" It was Gon.
Everyone turned their attention back to the fight, the one Shikamaru never strayed from.
"God Speed," with that Killua had turned into what looked like an electric bolt of lightening, that consumed his entire body. In one instant he was near the edge of the clearing, and in the next, he had Knuckles by the throat. The electricity pulsed into Knuckles' body.
Gon's fist glowed a fire orange, expanding more and more until all his Nen was surrounding his hand.
Sakura gasped, clasping her hands over her mouth.
Naruto grew quiet, for once.
Knuckles was paralyzed, and could only watch as Gon's nen-covered fist slammed into his side, "JAJANKEN!"
The impact was so intense that it made Knuckles hit the ground, and scrap the grass up from its roots, creating a muddy pathway past the edge of the clearing where his body had slid to a stop.
Wing-san's eyes widened considerably, never had he imagined that they would grow so strong in just a few years.
Bisky was smirking, not caring much for Knuckles' health, even though she knew that he would be fine. They wouldn't ever use their full strength on someone weaker, she thought.
Naruto ran over to the other boys, congratulating them, asking for them to teach him what they know.
"Figures," Sasuke mumbled, slinking back to the tent.
Shikamaru stood, "Alright, Alright," he held his hands up, "Why doesn't everyone else-," he eyed the rest of the hunters, "-just tell me what they can do."
"I agree," Kurapika said, "By this point, half our people will have to go back due to injuries," he glanced over to where Knuckles was knocked out, "I'll take him with me."
Kakashi rubbed his chin, "Too bad."
Ging smiled, Morel knew what he was thinking, it was obvious; less people to deal with.
Gon hopped on over, grinning from ear to ear, "We won!" He then looked slightly concerned as he looked over his shoulder at Knuckles, then went back to smiling when Ging began talking to him.
Killua half-smiled while he watched his best friend tell his father, he noticed Kurapika eyeing him.
The white haired boy slugged over to his wounded friend, crouching down to be on his level.
"Yea?" Killua searched Kurapika's face for a clue, he gave none.
"Take care of those ninja kids," he whispered quietly, "Gon knows to, but you have to as well, if we want to leave these lands peacefully, you have to do all you can to protect their young."
Killua frowned, "Something you researched?"
"Something I know, Killua."
With that, Kurapika finally stood, with the help of the ex-assassin, who did not do so willingly.
It was time for Kurapika, and now Knuckles, to head back to Konohagakure.
