T w o | Snakes ✕ and ✕ Thunderbolt

Alyssa woke up from her slumber as the soft rays of the sun has awoken her, she yawn and then stretched her limbs before standing up from her bed to start folding the blanket and fixing the pillows.

Everything feels normal. she thought as she did everything she needs to do before starting her day once again.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

"Time to hunt witches again, hooray." she nonchalantly said before raising her hand lazily. Strangely, she found it easy to exterminate witches.

Then she felt her phone vibrated in her pockets as she grabbed it and answered the call without bothering to spare a glance at the caller.

"Hello?" she says through the phone.

"Alyssa-chan? It's me, Pariston." the person from the other line says.

"Oh, good morning, Pariston-san." Alyssa greeted as she began to walk downtown for her journey.

"Good morning. I have sent some people to help you in your mission in exterminating the witches, they'll be really helpful." he inquired.

"Oh, is that right? Who are they?" she asked as she was stuck in the crowd that was going to pass the street.

"They are two boys whose at the same age as you are, both of them are professional hunters and has exceptional skills."

"The same as I am?" she asked.

"Yeah. They're the kids that I've mentioned to you before who joined the Chimera Ants extermination plan, both of them are heroes!"

"The way you say it like that, it seems they're really strong."

"Indeed. One of them is an assassin called Killua Zoldyck and—"

She was bumped by someone while passing the road, her phone fell on the ground as the call instantly ended. Everyone started to walk pass her as she bent down on her knees and grabbed her phone.

She begun to redial Pariston's number, however, it was out of reach.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

Alyssa sat down on the chairs of the restaurant and began gobbling down her ordered meal like a 14 year old girl would do, while searching for Witches, she got hungry and decided to stop by here to grab a bite for a meanwhile.

I couldn't reach Pariston-san she thought while tapping on her phone.

"Dear Customer, would you like a cup of orange juice?" an waitress made its way towards her table and offered a cold drink to her.

"Yes, thank you." Alyssa politely answered as the waitress poured an orange juice in her cup.

Suddenly, a huge impact pierced the air as the place began to shake from the force. The glass of orange juice fell on the ground as shards and the drink scattered on the floor.

"W-What was that...?" the waitress muttered after the shock wave was over, then Alyssa stood up from her seat and began to rush to the door.

"Mam! You're payment...!" the waitress shrieked, making her stopped in her tracks and walked up to her. She handed her a 100 Jenny.

"Keep the change." Alyssa hurriedly said before running up to the door and met the sunlight once again.

She heard a chorus of screaming as she followed the commotion and saw a crowd of people grouping together with the expression of horror written in their faces.

"What is that huge thing...?"

"Perhaps an huge-ass snake?"

"How scary it is."

She looked up to see the source of attraction as her eyes widened and saw a huge snake up above, she instantly was familiarized from the snake's and immediately realized it.

It's the snake from last night. she thought then the snake saw her in the midst of the crowd and began to lung up to her.

Her first instincts was to run, so she did and runaway from the crowd as the snake followed her.

If that snake is after me, then all I have to do is to run and take it to a place where no one is around.

Being the fast runner she was, Alyssa was able to outrun the huge snake chasing her, probably out to kill her.

Then she reached an forest nearby, which highly unlikely there were no people nearby. She hid in one of the bushes there and started thinking of a strategic plan on-spot.

What is that snake doing here? I'm positive that once the witch died, the snake will also die as well.

She peeked through the bushes as the snake was still searching for her, it roamed around the place.

Hypothetically speaking, there's an probability that the witch is still alive!

Once the snake was gone, she stood up from her position and began walking through the bushes. Checking her surrounding as the coast was clear.

If my theory is correct, then I have to get to the witch and exterminate her quickly. she thought and started running to find her supposed to be dead target.

I should've made sure the witch died last night. I was careless.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

A pair of two boys run up to the commotion happening in YorkNew city, they walked up to the crowd  together hastily.

"What's going on here?" a spiky haired boy asked a random guy nearby the scene.

"A peculiar snake appeared out of nowhere and began to attack few civilians nearby, it was huge, about 4 meters high." Guy A said.

"He's right, then it chased a little girl who made a run towards the forest just a little while. She's probably in danger right now." Guy B said.

The two boys turned to each other and made an eye contact, understanding one another instantly.

"Gon, it's probably a familiar of the Witch..."

"I know, Killua."

The two boys run to the forest and began to chase the snake that they just heard from the townspeople. One went to the left and one went to the right to speed up their searching.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

I can't breathe...

Alyssa was being gripped by the snake's body as every second passed by, it was getting harder for her to breathe by now.

"I wouldn't forgive you for making Hammurabi go against me, I almost died last night. Now, I'll really let you die today." the Witch snarled darkly.

I need to touch the snake... she thought as she started to raise her palm to get a glimpse of touch on the snake, however, the grip around her hands tightened making it unable for her to touch its body.

"I see...I finally know your Nen-type and how your aura works..." the witch said as a sweat trickled down her forhead.

Seriously?! This is bad...

She began to struggle to her hardest as the snake was destroyed by her force while its blood and intestines spurted on the ground away from her, how greasy it was.

"Even if I can't control your snake, I can always destroy it with my hands."

The Witch looked down on the ground as her hair covered her eyes as shadows cast upon it, a sinister aura appeared from her as she looked up and stared at her enemy, full of rage.

"Unforgivable...!" she screamed.

Alyssa put on her protective stance as the witch yelled and multiple projectiles appeared, it attacked her with great speed and power.

She either dodged it or guard against it, however, she was no superhuman, few projectiles pierced her skin and blood spurted out of the wound.

Then the attack ended as Nen continued surging out of the Witch, it was clear that she was going to kill her no matter what it takes.

A huge snake made out of Nen appeared on her vision as it opened its mouth and was to gobble her down when something roared from the sky down on earth.

"Thunderbolt!"

Blue lightning appeared from the boundless sky above and crashed at the huge snake that was about to eat the little girl just by now.

The snake completely disappeared as it made the Witch more angrier from this, she turned to the sound of electricity just at her back and saw a innocent little boy.

"The one who did it...was it you? You little piece of shit?!" the Witch gritted her teeth while glaring at the boy.

Alyssa's eyes widened as she recognized the person who came to her rescue once again.

It's him again...
