When the protection wall breaks

{A/N: Don't be confused about the long plot in the first few chapters, as it is based in the past. It introduces the group of hunters who will later on (in future chapters) aid our main protagonists against the spiders , who are stronger than ever. It also shows the relationship between my self-inserted character and Kurapica. The present story will take place in the events around chapter 220. I'll continue the story of HxH with my own thought plot from this point. I would be pleased for every review and also for constructive criticism. Please be polite with my writing style, because I'm a german guy and this is my first attempt to write an English story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hunter X Hunter, my borrowed characters belongs to Final Fantasy and Hikaru no Go so I don't own them either.}

[-- --] Flashback

Prologue:

Ten years before Gon and his friends entered the hunter exam:

It was a friendly light spring day in late march and the sunbeams fell through the office window.

"It's such a beautiful day and this foolish, crazy subject of a politician has nothing better to do than start a revolution against the legitimate government of Padokia." Netero grumbled as he threw the report on his desk, got up from his chair and walked to the open window.

As he looked out through the window to the blue river shining nearby in the sunlight, he took a deep breath.

Netero enjoyed how the wind lightly touched his face, as he waited for his guests.

/We have to interrupt this before it turns into a civil war. She has never disappointed me and I'm quite sure she wouldn't do it this time./ He turned away from the window and walked to the desk, on which his glass of mineral water stood. Just when he attempted to drink it, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" Netero called in a polite tone.

The door opened silently and a slim woman with yellow eyes and long black hair entered the room. She wore a simple violet dress, which fitted well with her figure.

Netero was a little surprised to see her in civil clothes. He knew that this woman was really a sorceress who normally wore more impressive sorceress robes.

"Ohayou, Master Netero! I hope we're on time?" greeted the woman.

"Of course, thank you Edea. Well, take a seat."

Edea sat down on an armchair in front of Netero's desk and turned around to face the open door: "Come in, boys!" she shouted. Immediately, three young boys appeared at the door and entered the office. The last one closed the door before he went to a position beside the others.

"Ah, your apprentices, I see!" Netero grinned.

"Err..." Edea started , but was interrupted by one of the boys.

"We are NOT her apprentices, chairman Netero, we are pro-hunters as well as her!"

"Hell...shut up Seph, he meant it as a joke!" One of the others interjected.

Netero laughed and studied the boys curiously. The one who had closed the door, stood silently behind the armchair in which Edea sat. He observed him with his calm brown eyes -through his glasses - and smiled a bit. His hair was as dark as Edeas and he wore a simple red- white shirt with grey shorts. /He looks like people from the south...like Spanish./ Netero thought as he turned to the other two. The boy who just had shouted angrily at his companion - and now showed a little annoyed face - had dark blond hair, blue-greyish eyes and wore normal jeans and a blue shirt. The third boy, the one who was immediately pissed of at his statement about them being an apprentice of Edea, however looked much weirder than the other two. This boy wore an entire outfit of black, including a big black coat. He had long smooth silver hair that fell down his back, and sparkling emerald eyes.

"Enough of this, we're not here to discuss whether you are hunters or not." Edea proclaimed and gave the two boys a warning glance.

"Hai!" The boys answered.

"If I remember right, all of you entered the Hunter Exam last year and became a hunter, didn't you?" Netero asked as he grinned again.

"Hai, Netero-san!" The dark blonde answered.

"Well then, let's see whether an old man like me can remember your names... you are...Marcel, right?" The dark blonde nodded. "You're José... and this impulsive, young man... um... that can only be Sephiroth, ne?"

"That's a lie... I'm not impulsive!" shouted the silver haired boy. Marcel and José broke into laughter, but Edea just tapped her fingers on the desk.

"Hey, calm down boys, there's no need to become childish!" The boys calmed down immediately.

"What's the matter Netero-san, why did you call us?" Marcel asked in a serious tone.

Netero sat down in his chair. "The situation in the Republic of Padokia is becoming much more worse. The leader of the opposition party, Marlos Jaques Pegasus, has gathered his forces and is planning on spinning an intrigue to start a revolution against the government."

Sephiroth looked calmly at the chairman. "That is some real bad news... it can turn into a civil war. Referring to a report, I've read that Pegasus is somehow insane."

"Yeah, but I've heard rumours that the mastermind behind all this is his advisor, a freaky guy named Marlik." José exclaimed.

"Oh, very good, I see you're familiar with the background story, so there's no need for detailed explanations. Your order is simple, infiltrate his residence and arrest Pegasus no matter what it cost."

"Understood, but what about Marlik?" Edea asked.

"As already mentioned, Marlik is like a crazy demon. I've ordered a professional assassin to eliminate him. He'll also support your group and will arrive soon." Netero took a gulp of water from his glass as Edea got up.

"Then all is settled. We'll contact you when the mission is finished." Edea and Netero shook hands, and then left the office with her three companions.

Marcel, José and Sephiroth stood before a Land Rover, which was parked near the Hunter Committee-residence.

"This seems to be an interesting mission. Maybe it's the first time that we must use our new learned Nen." José declared.

"Hmm, can be. I'm really curious about this famous assassin we're working with." Marcel answered.

"Oh man, this is getting on my nerves! What's taking madam so long?" Sephiroth grumbled as walked up and down in front of the Rover.

"Hey Seph, calm down. Remember that it was you who stated that you're not impulsive, so prove it!" José hissed with a grin.

"Shut up you jerk! I hate it when we just hang around and waste time."

"Then you should go inside the car so that we can start," an amused voice replied.

Sephiroth swirled around and took a step back. Edea walked towards the car, now wearing a black dress trimmed with black fur around the neck. The dress changes to a violet colour below her waist and becomes white near the feet . Her hands were covered with very long finger gloves, and she wore a headgear similar to a crown with several horns on her head.

"Ah, she's in her 'sorceress-outfit' again." Marcel noticed as he saw her impressive appearance.

"Looks cool!" José said. /Luckily she isn't wearing the huge golden metal crest on her back, otherwise it would be very crowded in the car./

"Huh? Who's that?" Sephiroth asked, surprised.

/Wow, what a muscular man./ Marcel thought as he noticed the tall silver haired man behind Edea.

"Well, this is our partner!" Edea explained.

"Good morning guys, my name is Silva!"

"Silva??? Hey, wait a moment, are you the famous Silva from the great assassin family, the Zaoldyeks?" Marcel asked respectful.

"That's right, you guessed correctly!" Silva replied in mild amusement as he entered the car.

"Wow, a Zaoldyek! Netero-san hired one of the famous Zaoldyeks to kill Marlik. That's awesome!" José whispered.

"Poor Marlik, he's dead meat for sure!" Sephiroth answered quietly.

"Ok, enough of pointless chatting, we'll drive towards Pegasus' residence now. prepare yourselves for some serious battles. I doubt that we can get inside without being noticed." Edea said smoothly and swung herself behind the steering wheel.

"Gotcha!" Came the reply from three determined voices at the back of the car. Silva simply nodded and looked out of the windscreen.

Edea started the car and drove down the street, heading for the highway.

The mission had started...
