Got X A X Plan?

"I see." turning away from Ponzu Gon began walking towards Barbon's slumped-over figure. Stopping just a few feet away from the snake charmer Gon looked at the multiple venomous snakes coming out of the man's robes to protect his once-living body.

"Hey what are you doing? You are only going to get yourself killed like your friend!" looking at the young boy move closer to the booby-trapped corpse Ponzu seemed more confused than concerned at his actions.

"Gon we need to find some way to get Leorio out of here and I don't think there is anything over there that could help us out, I mean the guy is dead it's not like he could help us in any way." also confused by his friend's actions at this moment Kurapika moved closer towards gon and reached for his shoulder, wanting to pull him away from the venomous reptiles.

"Hmm… it's probably around here!" unfazed by the warnings of everyone else Gon walked even closer to the corpse and began to search for something within the Barbon's robes. All the while, numerous snakes began to coil around the limbs of Gon and bit him injecting a large amount of their venom into his bloodstream. However, he was unhindered by the snakes as he grit his teeth and continued to look for something.

"..." and while this was occurring everyone else was shocked into silence as they watched Gon get bit repeatedly whilst he was looting the body.

"...f..finally found it..!" stumbling backward a small distance from the corpse gon fell flat on his back onto the cold hard ground of the cave. Seemingly an acceptable distance away from Barbon's dead body the snakes began to slither back toward their master's body to continue protecting it from all who got too near.

"GON! What was that for!?" dragging his friend away from the snakes Kurapiak seemed to start furiously sweating as the pressure from the worsening situation began to set in.

"Antidote. Give it to Leorio as he was bit firs…" struggling to finish his sentence Gon weakly moves his right outwards toward Kurapika

"!!!" looking at Gon's hand was a set of vials and a needle, looking back at Gon for confirmation he received a small nod. Setting down Gon right next to Leorio Kurapika began administering the antidote by injecting a small amount into his bloodstream. After a small while, Leorio began showing signs of recovery alongside Gon, though they were still roughed up around the edges they would be able to move around after a little while.

"By the way how did you know he had an antidote on him?" getting up and stretching a bit Leorio curiously asked Gon

"Well, I didn't really know but he is a snake charmer so he would most likely have an anti-venom!" cheerfully replied Gon with a small smile on his face as he rubbed the back of his head

"So you didn't know!? Plus isn't he a snake handler! He probably has immunity to this stuff so why would he carry any anti-venom! He wasn't even carrying any super deadly snakes, just one of these snakes will only incapacitate a guy not to kill! So the chance he brought any cures with him is just STUPID!" *pant* *pant* having finished ranting Leorio stares down Gon with a face flushed with anger.

"Teehee?" looking away while further scratching the back of his head Gon tries to escape the multiple stares he is getting from the other occupants of the cave.

"WHY IS IT A QUESTION!?" voicing the thoughts of everyone else Leorio continues to lecture Gon.

"Well, it's nice that your friend is okay… but it was nicer when he wasn't shouting constantly. *sigh* anyways, it still hasn't changed the fact we are stuck here. And while I normally wouldn't have to ask, please do not try to pull a stupid stunt once again." interrupting everyone Ponzu reminded everyone about their current situation, though most likely she wished to silence Leorio as his loud reverberating across the walls of the cave was irritating.

"...about that" turning around to look at her Gon began to look at her personal items

"No." before he could even continue to speak a flat refusal hit his ears like a truck does an otaku Japanese office worker

"Geh!" surprised by her refusal Gon looked at her with a pleading look, almost begging her to hear him out

"Sorry but I want no part in whatever half-baked plan you made. I am perfectly happy waiting it out if it means I will live another day." pulling her backpack and canister of sleeping gas closer to her body she crosses her arms under her chest and closed her eyes refusing to look at the boy anymore.

"But I know a way where we can all get out of here! You can even have Barbon's badge and pass if we get out of here…" trying to catch her attention Gon began baiting her with the idea of passing the exam. Pausing to gauge everyone's reaction Gon seemed sattisifed having caught everyone's attention even Ponzu seemed to be eager to hear what he was going to say

"!!!" though she never said anything her body language said that she was paying rapt attention to everything he has said so far

" you earlier said that you have a canister of sleeping gas there! If we were to detonate the canister of gas inside of the cave even if the snakes are inside the nooks and crannies they will pass out! If we hold our breath and then leave when all the snakes are asleep we will be fine!" ending off his plan of action with a proud smirk Gon turned around to look at Kurapika and Leorio who seemed to have an excited smile on their faces.

" Yeah, that won't work. Sleeping gas is not instant… you guys have been probably watching too many movies? It would take a good minute or two for the gas to get into all the cracks and put the snakes to sleep and it would take even less for us… we would all just knock ourselves out which is not the most pleasant of experiences." poking more holes into another of Gon's ideas Ponzu once again closed her eyes signaling not to disturb her anymore

"...why do all my plans go wrong?" dejectedly cried Gon as Kurapika and Lerorio looked at him with pity in their eyes.
