first they manipulated the king's body to order a Martial law because they want the citizens to stay in their homes, so they'll be easier to pick up, and to make things less suspicious.

then they escort them to that arena where shiaia hypnotizes them with his glowing powder, after that pitou uses his puppeteer to take control of the soldiers with nen powers and have them nen punch all of the hypnotized people to open thier nen paths un their bodies. after that they'll take the remaining ones and put them in the cocoons.

thats all... i think...maybe...

and your friend, have him watch episode 1, because you cant just get in HXH halfway.
