"Coming right Daichi!"
"Right!!"
The boi dawns his boy and it glows green.
The boar bolts between trees as its stuck between the man and the boy.
"GET READY DAICH!"
He grabs an arrow from his bag, his meer touch makes the tip glow a bright green.
They run until a slight opening appears in the woods. Daichi turns for a moment towards hisoka for the nod of approval.
He plants his foot at the edge of the forest. The boar running straight away.
He aims at it, and breaths in.
He exhales
"Dēmon'arō!"
He yells letting go of the arrow leaving a trail of light blazing past his head.
It shot up into the air and came straight down on the boar.
KABOOOOM.
The place where the boar stood became a twenty foot crater.
Hisoka walked over, tired same as Daichi.
"That wa-was a bit much!"
"Gotta do som-something fun on the BOARing missions!"
Hisoka stood there in silence.
"Idiot."
"Come on that wa-was a good one!"
"Hardly, come we have to check in on the others!" Hisoka waves Daichi towards the way them came.
."I thought I was good.."
"Let's just go."
"Man your so BOARING-
"STOP!"

"Osiris keep up!"
"Akira wait!"
Akira's aura glows red and he zooms past Osiris after the board down the road.
"God dammit..."
"What's he thinking?"
"Annya will beat him if she finds out he's separating from the pairs she made!"
"Does he think he's alone?"
"OINK!"
"Huh?!"
Osiris turns to see a boar run straight into her.
"Ugh!!!"
She goes flying into a tree across the road.
"OOIIINK!!" The boar screeches. Osiris snaps back into reality looking at the boar, she shoots up and draws one oboar knife's.
"God dammit Akira!"
Like a bolt of lightning the boar charged almost hitting her, she dodges though sending the boar straight into the tree.
Osiris stabs her knife into its neck as its dazed.
"OIIIIIIINK!" It screeches again turning to her.
"Shit!" She fumbles for her other small knife, but the boar charged right as she could get it out. She dives out it's way sending her and her knife flying.
"Shit, shit, shit!" She fumbles for the knife on the ground as the boar turns toward her again.
"Oooiiiink!" He swipes his foot a few times then charges.
"SHIT!!" Osiris tries to get up but falls and just holds the knife forward.
"Asashinkatto!"
Osiris turns to the voices boar direction and sees a bolt of dark energy cutting through the forest straight through the boar splitting it in half.
"You really aren't one hundred percent yet huh?"
Annya looked at Osiris tailed by Sadoe. Her axes steaming from the shot they took.
"Obviously Annya, you forced the poor girl to action after a single day of rest!"
"She hasn't had a break since!"
"Thanks for your input Sadoe.... Asshole.."
"I heard that!"
"I hope you did!!"
They stare each other down growling and fighting for a moment.
"Wait, where's Akira Osiris!?"

"He got ahead of me while chasing a boar!"
"Idiot!"
She scoffs annoyed.
"I'll get Osiris back to the town, you go help that Clown!"
"Yes ma'am!"
\

"OINK!" The boar screams running into a cave.
"Got you cornered now piggy!"
. . .
"Come out!"
Akira begins walking towards the cave.
THUD!
"HUH?"
THUD!
"What the hell?!?"
"BROIIIIINK!"
A massive white boar turns the corner of the cave, tailed by the boar he was chasing.
"Uh oh!"
Akira pauses and sheaths his knife.
"Time to goooo!" He yells as he turns, his aura glowing red around him.
"BROINK!"
The boar's begin chasing him as they go.
"That's a big piggy!!"
"Boink!"
"Yeah you, you fat pig!!"
"BOIIINK!"
"You're pretty fast pig!"
. . .
"Not fast as me though!"
Akira plants his foot and turns around holding his knifes together facing his shoulders. And looks straight at the boar.
"Shi no geijutsu!"
A flash of dark light releases from his palms shooting into four separate spears.
The boar freezes while the small one runs.
"Strike!"
The spears launch into the boar from all angles.
"BOIIIiin...nk.."
It drops dead as the spears retract back to Akira's palms.
"Stupid pig."
Akira walks by it.
"Akira you need help?!?"
He turns to see Sadoe running towards him.
"Hardly!"
They all get together.
"That's a big pig!"
"And there's still one more!"
"Of course.."
"Where'd it go?"
Akira points down the road.
"There's a cave off to the right about two hundred feet that way!"
"I'll get this one, head on back to the town, Osiris and Annya are there."
"You sure Sadoe?"
"What worried she'll beat you for breaking from Osiris?"
"Oh yeah..."
"You'll be fine!"
"I hope your right, good luck Sadoe!"
Sadoe continues down the path, and takes the way he was told to the boars den. He swings his warhammer over his shoulder at the entrance of the cave.
"So this is where these boars have been terrorizing these town folk?"
"Pity."
"Western light guide me!" He yells raising his hammer. The hammer begins to glow bright as the sun when he says it.
"Lets see that face boar!"
He starts walking into the cave.

"I think I pushed you too hard Osiris I'm sorry."
"Its fine Annya, I volunteered to come anyways!"
"Still I feel guilty for it."
. . .
"I am the leader after all, I'm responsible for everyone here, even my idiot brother!"
"Ha, I guess you are!"
"She is not responsible for me!"
They turn to see akira sprinting at them.
"Why you little!" Annya takes one step and Akira begins slowing down to turn and run.
But Annya is to fast and catches his collar. She slams him ontot the ground. He just sarcastically gives a large grin.
"Osiris got hurt cause of you!"
"She isn't dead!"
"Only cause I showed up!"
"Oh..."
. . .
"Sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it with the boss Akira, you should know that best!"
"Yeah especially with my sister!!"
They all turn to the voice, its Hisoka and Daichi.
"I assume your here cause you finished your side of the forest?"
"Yep, we wouldn't be back other wise!"
"Good job Daichi!"
"Thank you Annya!"
. . .
"What about me commander?"
She turns to Hisoka.
"You too Hisoka!"
"OH COMMANDER YOUR TOO KI-"
They are all walking to the center of the little village. While he speaks.
"Where's Sadoe?"
"He asked to finish the job at the boars cave"
"So they did have a den?"
"Well of course they did sister!"
"Hey how am I supposed to know!"
"You should just know!"
"Well I don't!"
They bicker all back and forth while they walk back to the town.
"Those two are something huh?"
Osiris surprised turns to Hisoka.
"Well I guess you could say that."
"Well I guess you know them better then us, huh?"
"Yeah I guess I do..."
Osiris scoffs.
"What is it?"
"Just the pain, it's nothing."
"What happened?"
"Twisted it while fighting a boar."
"Damn, Commander must have saved you then!"
"Yeah I guess..."
. . .
"Hey Osiris?"
Osiris looked up to the slender figure of Hisoka.
"Your lack of powers is your power, remember that."
"Kinda hard to forget when its been drilled into me since I was young!"
Hisoka laughs.
"Of course, of course.."
"Still as long as I stand its always important to remind you!"
Osiris chuckles. "Thank you Hisoka."
"Of cour-
" HISOKA!!"
His face turns to Annya and his nose bleeds.
"YES COMMANDER!"
"Go check in on Sadoe OK?"
Hisoka shakes his head and salutes her.
"OF COURSE COMMANDER!"
Hisoka turns to go the other way.
"Hisoka!"
He turns back.
"Please clean your nose up!"
He stops in place.
"AAAAAAah of-of course ma'am!"
"Good, now go!"
He makes a fist and the piece of ground beneath him floats up.
"We shall return soon Commander!"
"I hope so!"
With that he floats off towards Sadoe.

*SCUDOOOOOOSH*
Sadoe comes flying out of the cave, flung by a massive explosion.
"HOW DARE YOU SLAY MY PETS!"
Sadoe uncrosses his arms. An old woman stands glowing in the cave, hair floating.
"YOU WILL DIE FOR THIS SIN"
Sadoe looks to the woman, then swings his hammer over his shoulder.
Then he sighs.
"They were your boar?"
The woman looks at him. "Thats what I said!"
"Hmm"
The woman raises her fist as it bursts into flames. "What you mean hmm?!?"
"You are here by cut from society."
"Huh?!?"
"The duel shall commence."
"Duel?!?"
Sadoe swings his hammer forward.
"Your fate is sealed."
"ENOUGH!!" The witch blasts a fire ball at Sadoe.
But it bounces away after hitting an invisible wall.
Sadoe starts walking forward towards the witch.
"DIE, DIE, DIE!"
Every time the word die spilt from her mouth she throw a fire ball.
"Is this it witch?"
Sadoe taking a step forward with each ball dispensing off his barrier.
"Not at all!!"
A boar comes flying from behind her and has a angel on Sadie.
Sadoe tries turning to face the boar but another bolt of fire fly's into his barrier.
"Shit!"
"OIIIIINNNNK!!"
The boar charges
"DIE!!"
Sadoe doesn't have time to react before the boar charges.
*SWOOOOOINNGSHHHHH*
A blade of ice fly's by cutting the boar in half.
"Ai Sadoe!"
Sadoe turns to see a floating rock. There stood Hisoka, the rags wrapped around his hands torn from where he summoned his beam. The X scar across his palm glowing bright.
His eye glowing Bright blue.
"Don't die on me old fool!"
Hisoka's rag scarf billows in the air waiting for a response.
"MY PRETTY!"
They both turn back to the witch.
"If fire is all you possess then you've lost witch."
"What did you say ROCK BENDER?!?"
Hisoka pauses.
"Rock bender?"
Hisoka reaches his hand out curling index and pointer finger in. Then his eye turns yellow as sparks fly from his hand.
"How is this possible?!?"
"A multibender, in a lowly Hunters clan?!?"
"Why would you dare betray the benders socie-
"Enough talk witch!" Sadoe yells raising his hammer.
Hisoka's sparks turn into a spear of electricity.
"No, I won't die here!" The old woman begins trying to run for the forest.
Sadoe starts after her. "Stop, you can't escape fate!"
Hisoka pulls the spear behind his shoulder.
"No I won't die here!"
Hisoka steps into the throw launching it straight at the woman's path.
*KABBBOOOOOOM*
The electric rod smashes into the earth below her sending her flying back towards Sadoe.
Sadoe reaches for the Power disc. Planting it on her back.
"No no n-
It electrocutes her subduing her in the process.
"Good shoot Hisoka!"
"Wouldn't have it any other way!"
"Let's wrap this up and bring her in, the bounty was on pigs not a woman, so this should be worth a lot!"
"I'll go make sure theirs none left, I'll be right back!"
"Mhm."
Hisoka loads the woman onto his rock and waits for Sadoe.
Sadoe walks out with something in his hands.
"Oh boy Sadoe..."
"What?"
"SQUEEEEEEL"
"We aren't keeping that thing are?"
"We'll just have to see Hisoka."
Sadoe puts the piglet on the rock and jumps on.
"Let's go get paided."
