Synopsis
As the storm rages on outside, the clock ticks and Killua Zoldyck notes that there is only three minutes left. Nobunaga Hazama, Pakunoda, and Kortopi arrive at the hotel. Nobunaga excited to see Gon Freecss and Killua again asks if they finally plan to join them. Killua responds that they didn't know the Phantom Troupe's bounties were revoked. Nobunaga says that if the boys didn't learn their lesson from the last time they followed them, it must be fate. Nobunaga thinks they'll become good friends. Killua doubts that and seeing that there's only two minutes left closes his eyes, and Gon does the same. Nobunaga laughs and asks Chrollo Lucilfer what he thinks of the boys, and if they remind him of Uvogin. Machi says that's because they're kids and don't understand true fear. Chrollo asks Pakunoda to check the boys once more. Killua getting nervous thinking that their so close. With only one minute left Killua try's to stall, telling Pakunoda it'll be pointless to search his memory any more. Pakunoda grabs him by the neck and says she'll see about that. Gon says they'll just think about something else so she won't know what their hiding. Pakunoda says she checks the deepest parts of their mind that'll activate even at the slightest hint of a memory. Now grabbing both boys by the neck she starts to question them.
Just then the radio reports the time of 7:00. Killua dislocates his arms to break free of his restraints. Then the hotels lights go off causing everything to go black. Since the boys had their eyes closed, they could easily see in the dark. Killua then relocates his arms and breaks Pakunoda's arm in multiple places. Pakunoda stunned from the attack on her arm is kicked in the face by Gon. Machi, who is trying to inform the Troupe that one of them escaped, is kicked in her side and knocked some distance away. Machi then pulls on her Nen wires still holding Gon so not to lose them both. Killua trying to free Gon decides he's going to have to kill Machi. Killua charges a Machi with a Nen fused slash hitting her in the chest. Machi tightening the muscles in her chest catches his hand, she them puts him in a bear hug. Gon about to kick Machi is stopped by Nobunaga who used "En" to sense Gon's location. Nobunaga holding Gon notices a knife flying towards him and it hits a wall. Shizuku knows it's from the man (Leorio Paradinight) from earlier, saying it was obvious he was involved. When the lights turn back on they notice Chrollo is gone
