[ Gittarackur ] "Don't you think you went a bit too far?"

[ Y/n ] "Not really"

[ Gittarackur ] "Oh well, I'm not complaining"

[ Y/n ] "Shh, there's goes my target"

[ Gittarackur ] "Who?"

[ Y/n ] "The one with the arrows, Pokkle"

[ Gittarackur ] "I'll stay here then"

I crept up behind him but had to halt when he released the arrows at his intended target.

I teleported up the tree and stood atop it to observe everything.

[ ??? ] "Y/n!" *Whisper*

I turned around, startled, and saw Gon.

[ Y/n ] "Hush!" *Whisper*

[ Gon ] "Sorry, sorry. Which of them are your targets?" *Whisper*

[ Y/n ] "Yes, Pokkle is my target. Be quiet, please." *Whisper*

[ Gon ] "Alright!" *Whisper*

Pokkle is seen aiming a arrow at him.

[ Gon ] "He missed...?"

[ Y/n ] "No, he got him" *Whisper*

[ Gon ] "How?" *Whisper*

I gestured for Gon to continue to look.

[ Kyu ] "That was close. A little too close, even...sorry, pal, but I don't go down that easy."

He became unsteady.

[ Kyu ] "What the..."

Kyu collapses to the ground.

[ Y/n ] "Tranquilizer"

[ Gon ] "How do you know?"

[ Y/n ] "Listen"

[ Pokkle ] "I coated the arrow with a fast-acting tranquilizer! So you're not going to be able to walk much for about a week."

[ Y/n ] "I'm going down there"

[ Gon ] "Be careful, good luck!"

I jump down and gave a slow applause.

[ Y/n ] "Great performance, I really love the effort!"

[ Pokkle ] "Where did you come from?"

[ Y/n ] "I suppose my nonexistent parents. Now, I advise you to turn in your badge, or you risk becoming like him."

[ Pokkle ] "Ha, no thanks, sweetheart"

I caught an arrow that he attempted to fire.

[ Y/n ] "Try again"

I split the arrow in two and threw it to the ground.

[ Pokkle ] "W-what that impossible"

[ Y/n ] "Nothing impossible, now the badge?"

[ Pokkle ] "No way, I rather die than give my badge up!"

Pokkle rushes at me and catches me with a punch to the face. As blood trickled from my lips, I cast my gaze to the ground.

[ Pokkle ] "How about that!"

After wiping the blood from my lips, I began to laugh.

[ Pokkle ] "Uh oh..."

[ Y/n ] "Yes, uh oh indeed"

To confound him, I made a duplicate of myself and began to teleport everywhere.

[ Pokkle ] "Wait- there's two...no four?!? Stop moving and fight me! My head is spinning!"

[ Y/n ] "Okay, I will."

Pokkle stumbles a little after I strike him in the back of the leg, but by the time he turns around, I have already teleported in front of him.

[ Y/n] "Wrong way, idiot."

Pokkle turned to face me; I punched him so forcefully that he flew off and struck a tree behind him.

[ Y/n ] "That had to hurt"

I approached him and took his badge and his target.

[ Y/n ] "Three badges for me, asshole!"

Gon appeared behind me as I was tying Pokkle up.

[ Gon ] "That was epic!"

[ Y/n ] "Thank you, but I need to go now."

[ Gon ] "Okay Y/n, you're like the best big sister I ever had!"

Before leaving, he gave me an embrace. Hearing those words from him touched my emotions and made me smile.

[ Gittarackur ] "Hey, did you get the badge?"

[ Y/n ] "Yeah"
