AN: I might not upload again this weekend, and if I do it will be another half-chapter. I have finals coming on Monday and throughout the week. Thankfully, all of my final longterm projects are done I just have to study for the tests I have.

"Magenta are you alright?" pausing for a moment I turned around to look down at the foot of the rubble heap spotting Gon and Killua. Giving a slight nod in return, I continued to sift through the mountain of debris that was formerly a building.
"What is it that your doing here still? Shouldn't we be leaving immediately, all the noise we caused could attract trouble." with the both of them scaling the debris pile and standing just off to my side as I continued to push and relocate the large fragmented slabs of concrete and rusted rebar.
"Confirming he is dead this time, he managed to almost kill us again due to being unable to put a bullet in the fuckers head after I fried him last time. So I am looking for any remains of his body but I am not well versed in En only being able to keep the minimum requirement of six feet going for a short period of time." Continuing to send out short pulses of En instead of prolonged usage, I systematically mapped out the remains of the building. Though it seems I was no longer working alone as Gon took the initiative to help me clear out the debris.
"Hmm… What exactly is En? Anyways, confirming the kill is good for profesionalism but in this situation it isn't exactly required. Is it not more important to get out of here alive, we completed our objective already." looking at me a bit oddly due to the mention of a foreign Nen-related concept but also the odd importance I was putting on finding a corpse, Killua sat unmoving staring at the two of us laboring.
"It is important we find the body for our long-term well-being, as you would be surprised by the amount of freaky shit Nen can do with a bit of DNA. Tracking the killer of a body, cursing the killer, looking at the past of an object revealing our identities, or even reanimating the body in some fashion. Can't do all that if there is nobody for them to fuck around with." Pausing for a moment as I finally found something, I told the two boys to help me out as we quickened our pace.
"Well… he is certainly dead" looking down into the small clearing that was previously buried we all spotted a blood stain that had a smattering of bone fragments laying atop it. Notably, however, was the melted lump of steel that attracted my attention in the first place. Then, reaching into my coat I pulled out a sizeable bag and a glove as I began to collect the various pieces of his body in the bag before gingerly picking up and setting aside the sword. Next, I doused a rag with hydrogen peroxide that was stored in a flask of mine before I started to wash away the bloodied tile floor.
"You done yet?" peering down into the hole, Killua nagged me once again to leave as I was collecting my belongings. Staring back up at him with a tired expression before shaking my head, I climbed back out of the hole.
"Alright now lets bury the clearing in rubble and get out of here."
