Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 30, HxH Greed Island
Shin: "Now, is everyone ready? Once we start there's no going back."
Shin looked towards the seven comrades around him. Aqua, Hikari, Misaki, Shuai, Connor, Jin, and Kisara. Each one knew that a bloody battle was soon to begin, yet they all had a look of determination. Shin saw that not one of them had it in their mind to runaway from this battle in their minds and felt proud. Kampa and Renji were gone, yet Team Japan was still alive and going strong.
Shin: "Alright then. Then Aqua and Connor. Please hand me your Cards. That way we can start the final quest of Greed Island. The Card Quiz! BOOK!"
Aqua: "BOOK!"
Connor: "BOOK!"
Then on Shin's command all three of them summoned their Binders with the key word and opened them up. Within were the Cards Team Japan had acquired over the course of the Hunter X Hunter - Greed Island mission. Aqua and Connor search through their Binders and took out cards to give to Shin.
Connor handed over to Shin the 2 Designated Pocket Cards he had collect over the course of the mission. Aqua handed over to Shin the 53 of her 98 Designated Pocket Cards she had collect from defeating Genthru. Shin who originally had 44, now had in his Binder 99 Cards (Shin wanted to be the one to have all the Cards in his Binder, so after complaining the others agreed to not just give Connor's Card "A Patch of Shore" to Aqua). One by one Shin inserted each Card into the Binder and once there were 99 Cards and then-
Eeta (Speaking to the entire island): This is an announcement to all Greed Island player on the island. As of today, a Player has collected all 99 Designated Pocket cards in one Binder. To commemorate this event, ten minutes from now all players of Greed Island are invited to partake in a special quiz. There are 100 questions in total! All questions will be about the Designated Pocket Cards. The player with the most correct answers out of the 100 questions will win a prize. The prize for winning is Designated Pocket Card #000 "Ruler's Blessing". All Spell Cards can not be used for the duration of this event. Everyone, please wait with your binders open!"
Hearing this island wide message Shin and the others of Team Japan felt relived. For one the final quiz game didn't sound to have changed. Also, during this time Spell Cards usage was suspended, and so Team Germany couldn't strike at them at this time.
Shin: "Nice! To get the final card is still the same quiz that appeared in the Manga. We have this in the bag!"
Misaki: "Sure are confident. You sure you can answer each question correctly?"
Shin: "No problem! Don't look down on how an otaku spends the late nights on the web. I personally memorized the questions and answers for the final quiz of Greed Island. So has Jin."
Jin: "Haha, that's right. I'm trash, but I'm trash with a pretty decent memory. I wouldn't forget something that I read five years ago. Also, even if Shin and I forget a few questions we have a much better shot at winning this quiz than Team Germany or anyone else on the island."
Shin: "That's right. Team Germany that is associated with the Four Pillars wouldn't have any information about Hunter X Hunter or Greed Island since till just recently they placed all of their efforts into the previous horror movies format. They also wouldn't have past records of how to complete Greed Island as well and even if they did the questions might not be the same. Jin and I who both know all the original answers and studied the series Hunter X Hunter have the best shot of winning the quiz. As for the other player of the island they are just as hopeless as Team Germany. All of the active player of Greed Island were killed by Genthru and until just recently they were killing each other for cards rather than playing the game honestly. In fact they probably killed off those players for Cards. That's why neither Team Germany nor the players of the island have a shot in hell of completing the final quiz."
Aqua: "Then our victory is assured. Shin, for the first time since I've met you I'm glad that you are a pitifully, terminally ill, loser otaku. I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart."
Shin: "...Please stop. Your sincerity hurts more that any insult. Also, you did insult me and three times at that?! Hikari has recently stopped, so don't take over for her!"
Aqua: "Shin stop messing around. The game is about to begin so we need to know who will play the quiz game. According to the side quest any one of us can enter the quiz long as they are using one of the three Binders."
Shin: "Ah, that, I already know who we should choose. I was going to select Hikari."
Hikari: "Are you sure? I know that its a part of the plan, but..."
Shin: "Yes. As a support member you will naturally make the least amount of points within Team Japan as you stay in the back away from the main battles. While the rest of us will end up fighting Team Germany to reverse our -5 Team Battle Score, we will also individually be gaining lot of points and rewards because of the "Enemy Team Kill" and "CG Enemy Team Kill" Side Quest. That's why the Side Quest for collecting the final Card should go to you."
Hikari: "I guess, but I don't know the answers."
Shin: "Don't worry. Jin and I who know Hunter X Hunter by heart will feed the answers to you. There's no rule in place that says that we can't."
With that said Shin handed over his Binder Hikari. Then a few moments later Eeta returned to address the player of Greed Island that the game was about to begin.
Eeta: "The final quiz will now begin. Question 1: The elder who gave an important hint for "One Yard of Forest", was..."
A) Hira.
B) Hida.
C) Hiso.
D) Hiyu.
E) Hima.
Shin: "Ha, to easy! Hikari, pick B"
Hikari: "O-okay."
From there Shin and Jin began to hover around Hikari and feeding her all the answers to the quiz game. Hikari was slightly disturbed by how much Shin and Jin were enjoying the game halfway through, but she didn't say anything seeing as very rarely their answers differed. Like so Hikari correctly answered almost every question and found herself about to complete the quiz by answering the final question.
Eeta: "And now the final question! What is the name of Card #000?"
A) Ruler's Banquet.
B) Ruler's Invitation.
C) Warm Reception From Ruler.
D) Ruler's Destiny.
E) Ruler's Blessing.
Jin: "It's E."
Shin: "Choose E Hikari."
Hikari: "Do I look retarded to you two!? It's right there on the Player's Watch!"
With that short outburst Hikari choose E for the final question.
Eeta: "It's now game over!!! Now, I'll announce the player with the most correct answers. The highest score was 98 out of a total of 100!! The name of the player who achieved this is... player Hikari of Team Japan!!! Now, once all Cards are held in one Binder the final game of Greed Island will commence! Everyone, please make preparations!"
Shin: "Ahhh! So close! We almost had a perfect score!"
Jin: "I know. I was slightly hoping that a perfect score could have been a Hidden Side Quest. Hey, do you think we can get a do over?"
Aqua: "Shut up you two! The important thing is that we won. Now we just have to wait for the final card and figure out what this final game is before-"

- *PECK*, *PECK*, *PECK*!!!
It was as Aqua said so that it arrived. We were all still in our apartment building in Aiai and pecking on a closed window of the apartment was a lazy looking black crow holding onto a letter. The crow kept pecking at the window, so Kisara who was closest to the window opened to allow the bird entry. The crow then flew past Kisara and all of other to fly above Hikari's head. The crow soon left after dropped the letter and Hikari grabbed it as it slow fell through the air. Hikari looked around to see if it was okay to open it, and seeing no one opposed to it she opened the letter to find two items. Two Cards. One was Designed Pocket Card "Ruler's Blessing" and the other was an unknown Card called "Greed Island Treasure Box".
- SIDE QUEST REWARD 3, CARD 000 - WINNING THE DESIGNATED CARD "RULER’S BLESSING" DURING THE ENDGAME QUIZ. AWARDED 1500 POINTS AND D RANK REWARD!
- QUEST ITEM OBTAINED!
ACQUIRED SPECIAL CARD, "GREED ISLAND TREASURE BOX". ONCE THE GAIN COMMAND IS ISSUED A BOX WITH THREE SLOTS FOR DESIGNATED POCKET CARDS WILL APPEAR. PLAYERS WITH A G.I RING MAY PLACE ONE DESIGNATED POCKET CARD INTO THE BOX. ALL CARDS WITHIN THE BOX CAN BE TAKEN OUTSIDE GREED ISLAND WHEN PLAYERS RETURN TO THE TERMINAL LOBBY. DESIGNATED POCKET CARDS WILL BECOME SPELLS, EQUIPMENT, OR SPECIAL ITEMS ONCE TAKEN OUT OF THE BOX WITHIN THE TERMINAL LOBBY. ONE TIME USE.
Shin: "So this is how we'll take the three Cards out of the game. Good. This is much better than going to the tower in near Masadora to exit the game like in the original plot."
Jin: "So what Cards will we bring out of the game with us?"
Shin: "We'll stick to what we came up with before, but add in the possibility of that Bonus Mission that you were talking about and switch out a Card... but first I'll add the last Card to my Binder to start the last of Greed Island."
Then Shin was handed the "Ruler's Blessing" Designated Pocket Card from Hikari and immediately placed the Card in the last empty spot of his binder. Shin"s Binder then glowed with a rainbow of colors and from the Binder a light shot up, passed through the ceiling of the apartment, and exploded in the skies above. A few seconds later a notification from Eeta, no her twin sister Elena rang throughout Greed Island.
Elena: "Attention! All 100 Card have been placed within a single binder. Last event quest has been activated! All players on Greed Island are not allowed to move around till game start and all player have no right to not enter the last event which is mandatory. The holder of 100 Designated Pocket Cards and their comrades will be transported 50,000 meters from the entrance of Limeiro in the next five minutes. Every other player will be randomly transported within 25,000 meters of Limeiro's radius in the next ten minutes. If the holder of 100 Designated Pocket Cards enters and remains in Limeiro for 3 hour and enters the study room of Dwun and List within Limeiro's castle, than that player and his comrades will win the game Greed Island. If another Player kills the holder of 100 Cards and can stay within Limeiro for 1 hour than they will win the game, be given all 100 Designated Pocket Cards, and the right to choose three Cards to take out of Greed Island. Announcement over! Please have fun with this event designed for the bloodthirsty men and woman occupying Greed Island!"
The news of this last battle terrified and excited the player of Greed Island. For those who didn't want to enter it was a death sentence since everyone would try get rid of their competition, not just the holder of all 100 Designated Pocket Cards. For those who did want to enter this was their chance. Moderate Clan, Savage Clan, Bomber, and other strong clans were no longer present on Greed Island. This meant that no great power could stop them and they all had a chance at winning the game. The bottom line was that that everyone, not just Team Germany would be gunning for Team Japan... but this was exactly what Team Japan wanted.
Misaki: "Ah, thank a different god than the one we know of here in this in hell dimension! That hazardous plan that Jin and Shin thought up will work now. It's a miracle."
Jin: "Not at all, Misaki. I always expected such a last event after acquiring the last Card. In the original plot of Hunter X Hunter the game is over once Gon and Killua have 99 of the Cards as only they can enter Limeiro and no one else. There aren't any more challenges, and that doesn't fit with God wanting to force danger on us and force us to evolve. Say we had 99, or 100 Cards in our possession just as Team Germany arrived to Greed Island. They would have had no hope of stopping us from leaving the game, but this last event gives the enemy team one last chance to kill us. I don't like it, but it’s fair to give the enemy team just one chance to stop us before we complete the mission."
Aqua: "Still, despite the last event we still hold the advantage as we made preparations. Before the 3 hours are up we should be able to wipe Team Germany."
Shin: "Aqua's right! It is finally time for us know who leaves this island alive. Team Japan or Team Germany. We don't have much time left, so let's quickly choose the three Cards to take back and get ready. In just a few minutes... the final battle will begin!"
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Team Japan three G.I Ring holders, Shin, Aqua, and Connor made their choices for the three Designated Pocket Cards to take out of the game.
Shin chose, Breath of the Archangel - This card summons forth an angel whose breath can cure any injuries sustained. Severe damage or close to death, this angel will cure any injury and disease in one breath. One Player may learn this as a magic spell. Can only be used once per day.
Aqua chose, Hypothetical T.V - This card brings forth a Hypothetical Television. It allows the user to input a potential situation or question, and the T.V. will display a 30-hour-long documentary about all the possibilities. The remote also allows you to record any part of it for later playback. Once the card is summoned with the Gain command it can only be used once and will break after finished displaying its contents.
Connor chose, Patch of Shore - A special card that leads one to the hidden undersea cave, "Residence of the Sea God" in the Hunter X Hunter Mission World. Use the Gain command and a light to guide you will appear and stay active for twenty-four hours. Once the card is used it will destroy itself.
Once there choices were made it was time.
Elena: "Five minutes have passed! The holder of all Designated Pocket Cards and their comrades will now be transported 50,000 meters away from Limeiro. Five minutes from now all other players will be moved randomly within 25,000 meters of Limeiro. All Spell Cards can not be used for the duration of this event. Please prepare yourselves!"
With that announcement made Shin, Hikari, Aqua, Misaki, Shuai, Connor, Jin, and Kisara were enveloped in the light of a Spell Card and transported away from Aiai for the last time and towards the final battlefield. Capital City, Limeiro awaited them.
