(Killua's P.O.V)
""What? He's famous. He's known for having incredible strength. Even though he's only fifteen, no man alive can beat him in a duel. A lot of his challengers all died or went to the hospital." Candy explains.
"What?! Gon?! How? Didn't he lose him Nen after that devastating fight against Neferpitou? He's the strongest here even without Nen?"
"Hold on, Killua. What's Nen?" Candy asks curiously.
"It's like a technique thingie thing, it'll take too long to explain. But basically it gives people special abilities… Where's Gon right now?"
"If you want to find him, you can't. He's currently in the Tryclar's territory."
"I'm going there then." I declare.
"You can't! They'll kill you if you infiltrate by force." Candy grabs onto my arm. "Don't go. You'll die."
"You just want to be with me, don't you?" I ask kindly.
"Umm...how did you know?"
"Well, it's pretty obvious. Anyway, why don't you come with me. We'll find Gon together."
"I don't know...It's going to be seriously dangerous over there, we'll be in the enemy's territory."
"Candy...Do you think I would let you get hurt? I care about you, and I'm asking you to come with me. Gon is my best friend, I have to find him. And just so you know, I'm way stronger than Gon."
"You are?" There's still a lot of doubt in her voice.
"I show you something." I hold up my hands, and focus a tiny bit of Nen into the tip of my fingers. "I can control electricity."
"Woah!" She yells.
"It doesn't affect me since I'm immune to it. However, if you touch this, you'll get static shocked and probably end up with a second degree burn."
"Okay...good to know...just keep that away from me then."
"So now do you believe me?" I ask again.
"I do… I assume you want to leave right now?"
"Yup! Let's go. Right now, right this moment."
"We're not even going to tell my parents, we're not even going to pack?"
"Nope! I'll use another ability called 'Godspeed'. Just tell me where Gon is right now."
"He lives by himself, basically a hermit. I don't know why a fifteen-year-old decide to isolate himself, but he lives at the top of Mount. Kanton."
"I'll go ask the butlers for a map. We're leaving right now! For Gon!"
During their trip to find Gon, Killua carries Candy on his back. As a result, the two can travel together in Killua's Godspeed mode. Because can reach a speed of 300 miles/hour, they blow past any guards or security patrolling the perimeter. The two stop to pick up some food when they reach the market. Additionally, they decide to buy two masks and wigs to hide their identity, especially Candy's, since she's a princess. They'd travel during the day, and rest during the night. Finally, after four days, they arrive at Mount Kanton.
Timeskip (Four days later, Killua's P.O.V)
"Woo! We finally made it, Candy! We're at the top of Mount Kanton! Ohh the fresh air feels great! What is this place? It's all trees with a wooden hut in the middle of the forest! Does Gon actually live here?"
"Huh? You're not affected by the lack of air because of the high altitude?"
"Nope! I don't feel a thing… Oh wait! I see Gon… Oh man! He hasn't changed much. Pretty sure he got taller, but he's still a little bit shorter than me though. Hmm, he's still wearing the green jacket." I stare into the distance. Because of the fog, it's a little hard to tell, but I know it's Gon for sure.
"Oh man! I just want to dash straight at him and get together with him right now! But what if he doesn't know me anymore? What if...what if he doesn't like me anymore." I reach for Candy's backpack. "I gotta put on my blond wig and the clown mask and try to get some information out of him first. "I also have to try to sound differently, or he'd recognize my voice… Candy, how do I look now with the mask and the wig on?" I turn around and ask her.
"Just bring the tip of your wig down a bit…" She reaches out and fixes it for me. "Alright, there we go."
"Okay… Thanks. You just wait here. I'll just...go then."
"Okay, good luck Killua! You should wrap it up quick, it's almost night time."
Why is my heart shaking so hard! My body is trembling! Why? He's just Gon! The boy who I spent three years with. But now, I'm so nervous!
Because I'm not trying to hide my presence, he notices me approaching him, and he speaks up first. "If you're here to challenge me, welcome. But if you're not...turn around while you still can."
Mmm...his voice got deeper. His face is still more or less a kid's face. I'm trying so hard to not give anything away.
"Mmm...You're Gon, right? Gon Freecss?" I ask with a deep voice.
"If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be here." He says coldly.
"Let's fight, Gon."
"Good, that's more like it." He squats down and gets into his "battle stance".
I'm not going to reveal my Nen yet. Additionally, I'll have to ask him a few questions while we're fighting. I also want to test his strength, to see if he improved over the past years. I'll go easy on him first.
For my first attack, I pretend to be a dumb brute and charge straight at him. And his reaction, just as anticipated, he counters my brute force with his strong push from his right hand. If I hadn't been using "Ken" to fortify my arms, they would've been shattered by now.
"Oh. You survived the hit. Most people would've already been seriously injured or even dead after this hit." Gon says. "This will be an interesting match, for sure."
Instead of going for another attack, I want to have some fun with him first. "I know a lot about you, Gon. A lot about you."
"The only information I revealed about myself is my age and my name. That's it. How much can you know?"
"Before I answer that, do you have any friends?" I ask. My heart is pounding. His answer will decide our relationship.
"No, and I don't intend to have any." He answers coldly, however, his facial expression says otherwise. He's almost in tears...just by hearing the word "Friend".
"You're father's Ging, Ging Freecss."I speak up.
"-hk!" His body freezes. His eyes stare directly into the holes on my mask.
"You don't have a mother, you were raised by you Aunt Mito (Mito-san)." I continue. "You come from a different world, you are from Whale Island."
He gulps, too speechless to say anything.
"You went on a journey to find your father when you were very young. You passed the Hunter's exam."
"S-stop talking. Stop reminding me of them...stop." He stares into the ground, his face is mixed between happiness and sorrow.
"I also know...you can no longer use Nen."
"W-who….are you?" He slowly lifts his face and asks.
"Before I answer that, I want you to ask me a few questions. A few questions about your old world. Let's see if I can answer them."
"What's the really expensive game I played with…. With...my best friend?" He asks.
The moment the words "Best friend" registers in my head, tears start to stream out of my eyes.
"G-greed island."
"When's my birthday?" He asks again.
"May fifth."
"What was my Nen category?"
"Enhancer."
"Here's my last question, who is my best friend?" His eyes no longer contain remorse, they now look determined and earnest.
"K-Killua Zoldyck." I take a deep breath and answer.
"Who...are you?" He asks again.
Instead of answering him, however, I say something else. It's the last sentence we said to each other during our separation four years ago. "Kite said no matter where we go, we'll always be friends!"
Gon's eyes suddenly light up. He throws away all of his cold and heartless behaviors, and instantly turns into a kid.
I take off my mask, my wig, and changes my voice back to normal. "Yes, Gon. It's me."
And for the first time, in four years, Gon smiles.
