The wind blew through an open field right beside the dense forest, shadows stretched through the whole area as the sun was barely over horizon. There was a lone figure covered in the shadows standing in the lush green field looking as if looking at something. The figures face was hidden by the shadows as sun was slowly rising. The sun casted a silhouette on the figure as he turned around and looked at the sun. And the figures features came into focus.
The sun revealed the figure to a boy that looked no more the twelve years old, with slim body build. Tan skin, jet black hair and onyx eyes; wearing emerald-green jacket and pants, with a fishing rod strapped on his back and ruby like orb for lure.
The boy's body shook in anger as he turned back to reread the word etched into the ground. The word were faded were faded but were clear enough to read clearly.
' Gon if you can still read this message that means you're week's behind me, any ways let's make this wager a little more interesting since you're twelve right. Well he Hunter exam is coming up in the next few weeks , how about you get you're hunter license this year. If you do manage to get it and find me in the course the next few years I'll take you 'hunting' with me.'
Followed by a chibi image of his father, Ging Freecs, with the peace sign that read:
'Gon if you really want to take the hunter exams then you should go to Whale Island and visit your aunt Mito. I think she should know how her nephew is doing the past last years.
The boy's body gave of such an aura that screamed death so powerful that the that the air darkened with pure malice that everything in his surrounding started to die and wither away and became dust.
The boy was Gon Freecs , son of Ging Freecs.
Gon let loss a mighty roar and shouted" When I find you I am going to beat you so close to death that you'll be able to see the other side." he took a deep breath and then sighed," Well it seems I have no choice." Taking another deep breath and shouted cheerfully," Whale Island here I come."
Gon then took off towards the rising sun, at the speed that would make the fastest animal seem slow in comparison. Though it still was a gentle stride compared to how fast he could really go.
Gon kept going in that direction and as he kept going he was struck by a thought 'the world he supposed to be a part of but no the world where he belonged in' he was then struck by another thought of the world where was born in," The Dark Continent". That was his true home where the strong lived and the weak died, the world where his mother died and the world where he was at peace.
His father brought him to the 'human world' from the 'dark continent' because Chairman Netero brought him for some reason or another he didn't care at that time.
Gon was born with a very strong aura and nen ability which manifested by itself at birth. This is what prompted his father to raise him, instead of leaving Gon in the care of his cousin and teach him how to use his ability properly. Gon was so naturally tuned with his aura and was so natural at it that one might think he was freak of nature because he seemed to have to limit to him. Gon was special as he falls in the category of specialists and the thing that should be truly terrifying is that it allows him to combine his one of his nen types with another if he can use it. But Gon was born with some special abilities that allowed him to use his nen type perfectly and get even stronger during the heat of battles also gives him the potential to become the strongest. Those abilities were Makers design, Copy Cat, , Self Existence, Predator, Sonic, True Specialist, Deva Path. The first ability Makers Design is to make his will come into reality. The second ability Copy Cat is to copy the others abilities and use them as long as he comprehends them. The third ability Self Existence is to make himself exist yet not exist everywhere within his En area. The fourth ability Predator is to make his nen consume other living being and living beings nen to get their memories and muscle memory and it can also recover his own nen and stamina by consuming nen and living beings. The fifth ability sonic is using nen to perceive sound waves and use the sound waves to travel at the speed of sound and attack at the speed of sound as well giving him a small comprehension boost, reaction speed boost and thought acceleration. The sixth ability True Specialist is using all nen types perfectly to their full potential as well as giving him a comprehension boost. The seventh ability is repel and attract using gravitational forces. These seven abilities make's his growth rate limitless as well as fast progression.
His father had schooled him for the first ten years of his life in nearly all subjects from reading and writing, from math to science, from history to technology and from language to fighting. When chairman Netero met Gon for the first time he was shocked to see an eight year old so far along in the practice and use of nen that outshone most fully grown adults in the field, Although Chairman Netero and Gon never got properly acquainted.
Cause during the meeting the Chairman told Ging "Like father like son, both monsters." To which Ging responded in his usual laid back tone "Don't look at me, Gon's the monster…." But he was cut off by Gon who burst through the wall and punching him square in the jaw and making him fly through a couple of walls before coming to a stop.
"take that back" Gon yelled at Ging. "Make me" responded Ging by sticking his tongue out like a child.
Ging promptly picked himself up and rushed towards Gon at god-like speed while Gon grabbed Ging's shirt and pulled him along with him, as he rocketed out of the building. Gin never even finished their meeting as they continued fighting while in midair as they quickly exited the city and and continue their in a more open field. The rest present were at the meeting sweat dropped as Netero spoke again "Definitely monsters" The just nodded.
The day Gon turned ten years old, he found himself alone with his father nowhere in sight. The only thing he found is a note that said 'Gon this is my test to you, do you have what it takes, fine me and only then you will be a true hunter. So Gon steel yourself, hone and refine your abilities, that is the only way you will ever see me again' and the chibi image of his father smiling.
Gon was going to find his father and make him apologies for leaving him alone for the past few years. But for now the only thought that occupied his mind is seeing his aunt again which he hadn't seen for the past four years now.
Gon moved over to land then moved to where land met water, and then searched for a town, after a few minutes later he found a port town, there, he asked a few ferryman which direction Whale Island was in from there, then a direction at hand he proceeded to run over the sea at speeds that made him to be a blur on the vast body of water.
The sun was now quarter of the way through the sky, not even noon and after 1 and a half hour running on the sea Gon had finally reached Whale Island.
'Only a couple of of minutes and I'll get to see aunt Mito again' Gon had grown very attached to his aunt Mito and even though he had known her for a relatively short time he had come to think of her as his mother and he her son. Never knowing what having a mother is like his relationship to her is the closest he could compare to what it feels like to have a mother.
The air was clean and fresh something Gon enjoyed like nothing other, he was already at the clearing in front of his aunt's house. When came in front of the house he stopped trying to copy the image of the house into his memories but like a picture if one tries to make a copy of it then the copy loses some of the qualities only the original possesses.
He walked to the house taking his time then spotted the figure of his aunt through the window of the house on the second floor.
When Gon finally reached the door knocked. The sound carried into the distances then faded away into nothingness, after a couple of seconds the door opened reveling his aunt Mito, who wore a surprised look on her face.
His aunt Mito appeared to be in her thirties, she was a full head taller than Gon, shoulder length red hair, with a red long sleeve shirt and full paled dress.
"Hello, Aunt Mito." said Gon with a small bow.
"Gon is that you, you should have called, I would have cleaned the house up a little if I would've known." She said with excitement in her voice and hugged him tightly.
"There is no need to clean the house aunt Mito." He said with equal excitement enjoying the warmth of her embracement.
"Is Ging with you?" She asked, as she withdrew herself from their embracement.
"No, we have been separated for almost two years now, it was sometime after we left here that we last saw each other." He explained, withdrawing from the hug sending shivers to his body.
"He left you alone honestly will Ging ever grow up, so what brings you here?" She asked clearly angered at Ging.
"Don't worry, he's only doing this to gear up when he goes back 'home' Ging told me to take part in the next hunter exam that is taking place the next few weeks." He answered.
Mito had a vague idea of where Gon was born in but was never given the exact specifics. She had seen what Gon was capable of so she was not too worried, and knowing he was Ging's son nothing could stop him any way, they both had driven too much to stop now.
"Well Gon, you are welcome to stay as long as you want" She gestured him to come inside the house.
He walked in the house followed by his aunt closing the door behind them.
