We land in a foggy area, looking around for Ging.
Gon freaks out as Killua and I look straight ahead, seeing a the man fishing at the lake.
Gon finally speaks up "G-Ging..." Gon takes a step forward.
The man turns around.
As he gets up, he drops the fishing line.
Before the line could even hit the floor, he slaps all three of us away, knocking us all down in the process.
The man proceeds to summon a weird looking clown as it yells "I got a slot machine in my mouth! It goes from 1 to 9. Each number summons a different weapon. This is my... Crazy Slots!"
Numbers begin to roll in the clowns mouth as a number appears "4!"
A weapon extends straight from the clown, revealing a gun.
The man growls calmly "Damn, bad roll."
He points the gun straight at Gon as the clown retorts "Shut up! You should be grateful, you idiot!"
I jump up as Killua runs to tackle Gon out the way.
The man shoots the spot where Gon was standing.
I bolt over to the others "Killua! Gon! Are you ok?"
Killua nods while he hovers over Gon, looking back over. He spots something "An ant?"
The man speaks up as we hear his voice for the first time "Are you hurt?"
He makes his way over to us as we stare at the man. I stand up straight, retorting back "Usually people don't ask that after shooting at someone..."
He takes off his cloak, revealing a tall man slender man, with pure white hair like Killua's except longer, reaching all the way down to his legs.
The man sports a serious non-interested look.
Gon retorts "That's not Ging..."
I look at Gon "If that was Ging I would say you look more like your mother."
Killua smiles lightly before turning to the man with a serious look "Hey... What was that about? First you push us down, then you fire at us! Enough fooling around!"
The man responds in a disinterested voice "Fooling around? I was being dead serious. If I hadn't opened fire, you would have been attacked."
I retort "By what ants?"
Killua stands up. As his about to squash the dead ant, it jumps back to life, attacking Killua. I swat at the ant with my bare hand, only to have it latch on it instead "Ow! This little suckers have a bite!"
I go to grab it, in an attempt to rip it from my hand "The hell are these things?"
The man punches me unexpectedly to the ground, hitting the ant off my hand with his hat. He open fires on the ant again "That's no ordinary ant."
I shake my hand, still feeling the sting from it's bite "I'll say..."
The man turns to us "It's a Chimera Ant."
Killua responds as he looks at my hand "A Chimera Ant?"
The man retorts "An aggressive, carnivorous insect, currently under class-1 quarantine. From time to time, they even attack humans. You were standing right in front of their nest. Had I not fired, a Chimera Ant army would have consumed you by now."
I stare in disbelief at the whole scenario as Killua checks my hand. I smile lightly "I'm fine... nothing to worry about."
Gon says something that confuses Killua and I "I feel like this has happened before..."
The man sighs as he walks up to Killua and I "Don't worry, it's not serious."
He holds out a small gourd as I look at it "Apply this. It's antibiotic."
I grab the bottle from his hand "Thanks."
As I apply some of the liquid to my wound, the clown starts yelling "What? That's it? Let's go nuts, man!"
The man retorts to his weapon "Shut up... Go away."
The clown disappears in a puff of smoke. The man gets up after I hand him back the bottle. He huffs out his next few words "You should leave, as well."
He walks, continuing to yell calmly "Damn... Because of this interruption, I'll need to start over. But the nest was destroyed. Man, forced to take another life..."
Gon freaks out as he yells "Ah!"
"You know this guy?" I muse as The man stops, looking back over to us "Huh?"
Gon continues on as he cups his face "Are you... Are you the one who saved me back then?"
The man responds confused "Back then?"
Gon gets up "On whale Island, after I stumbled into the territory of a foxbear with its cub."
The man responds in shock "Whale Island?"
Gon nods "That time, too, you had to kill, in order to protect me."
The man smiles "Oh, yes. I remember now. I never expected to run into you again here. You've grown, Gon."
Gon yells "How do you know my name?"
"I heard it from your dad, Ging-san."
Killua and I freak out together, slightly surprised from learning this "Huh?"
Gon is taken back by the man's comment "Old man, you know Ging?"
The man frowns "Old..."
He adjust his hat, annoyed from having been called old as I respond "He looks like he's in his late twenties maybe even thirties."
The man turns to me, smiling "Thanks... my name is Kite. Ging-San was my master."
We freak out together as I respond "You were taught... by the legendary Hunter Ging!"
Kite nods "Yes... how about we talk over some dinner."
Time Skip
As we sit down, Kite starts cooking some fish over a Bon fire while Gon tells Kite a bit about ourselves.
Kite speak up slightly amused "Oh, so you're also pro Hunters?"
Gon nods "Yep. Are you one too, Kite-San?"
Kite interjects "Call me Kite. It's awkward being addressed formally by my master's son."
Gon responds "Okay. Then, you're one too, Kite?"
Kite nods "Yeah, Ging-San was the one who made me a top-class Hunter. He was my teacher and benefactor. If I hadn't met Ging-San, I'd have died long ago, in the alley of a slum."
Kite begins to remember about his past of how met Ging for the first time "While I was running away from a group of thugs after stealing some bread. I met Ging-San in my make shift home under the sewers, surrounded by the animal's I've been looking after."
Gon responds slightly shocked "That was how you met Ging?"
Kite nods "Yeah... Ging-San said that good hunters are well-liked by animals. He said I had potential, so I got interested."
Killua speaks up "And you became his student?"
Kite grins "I had to force him to teach me. He hated dealing with any kind of hassle..."
I chuckle "So Ging has a sense of laziness. But still... getting teached by a legendary Hunter..."
Kite interjects "I was never his student officially. But I was a stubborn one... I kept bugging him. Eventually, I started to develop my Nen, and he began teaching me to hunt."
Kite hands us some fish as he continues "As a result, I was able to pass the Hunter Exam with little difficulty. But before Ging-San was satisfied, I had to clear another hurdle. Can you guess what it was?"
I respond "I have an idea where's Wally."
Kite turns to me "Who?"
I sigh "Maybe Waldo? The show or the picture book where you have to find the white and red striped man in a book full of people..."
Kite looks confused as I sigh "Basically he wanted to play hide and seek. The world edition."
Gon nods "What Ging would have said... Try to catch me."
Kite smiles "Exactly. You're right."
Gon smiles widely "I knew it!"
Kite continues to smile "But as far as I knew, he was the world's greatest Hunter. It was going to be the most difficult hunt ever. There were no clues or leads to begin from. And I didn't hear word of a single sighting. He'd managed to completely erase his existence from this world."
I massage my chin, thinking "He sounds worse than Wally... at least you could find him... After looking hard enough."
Gon smiles "So... so what happened in the end?"
Kite responds calmly "I was struggling, and grasping for a single clue, so I went to his home. To Whale Island. That was where I met you, Gon."
Gon sits there in complete shock as Kite continues "Back then, I didn't realize that you were Ging-San's son. I didn't learn that until I'd found Ging-San and told him about what had happened on Whale Island."
Kite thinks for a moment in silence "He told me that you were his son Gon... and Thanks for hitting him. It's common sense to avoid foxbear territory when they're raising young."
Gon smiles as I frown "I didn't know that... hell I didn't even know foxbears existed."
Kite shakes his head in amusement "Ging-San wasn't surprised that I went to Whale Island or that I met you there. It was almost as though he'd expected it. Looking back, it may be that everything's gone according to Ging-San's plans."
Killua responds "Are you saying he set all this up?"
I grin "You know what? The more and more I hear about Ging, the more I think his starting to sound like a manipulator..."
Kite shakes his head "Well, I can't prove he set this up."
Gon responds "You might be right. Razor was waiting for me. And Dwun and List."
Kite asks confused "Razor? Dwun?"
Killua sighs lightly "Yeah, in a game called Greed Island... It's a long story."
Gon continues off Killua "In a game, a guy named Razor was waiting for me, at Ging's request." Gon proceeds to tell us about everything Razor said to Kite "The deal was for Razor to give me a good beating. Dwun and List were among Ging's ten friends who helped him create Greed Island. Oh, Razor was also one of them... Anyway, those three were waiting for me. When I learned that, I realized something."
Gon pauses for a moment before continuing "If Ging planned for me to go Greed Island and meet his friends, meeting Bisky and the others may have been another part of his plan."
Killua interjects "In that case, it's possible that Ging also planned that you'd meet Kite here."
Gon responds confused "Huh?"
I think in my head. There's no way he planned on Gon meeting Bisky.. And she didn't say she met him directly...
Gon speaks up again "Oh, that's right! You must have been to Greed Island before."
Kite is slightly confused "Me?"
Gon nods "Yeah, did you register under the name Nigg?"
Kite looks more confused from before "Nigg? No, I don't recall that name. Wait... I do remember talking about taking me inside a game..."
Gon smiles as he exclaims "I knew it!"
Kite responds, thinking out loud "Greed Island... Yes, I believe that was its title. But I can't remember if I used an alias."
Gon responds "That must be it... Ging must have had you use the name Nigg. Damn! He tricked me!"
Killua responds amused as Gon scrunches his hair "You were so sure you'd meet him, huh?"
I chuckle in amusement at Gon. I catch Gon's eyes dart around, looking somewhere for a moment.
Gon turns to back to Kite as he explains everything that occurred on Greed Island while we continue to eat.
Kite nods "I understand. So the game Greed Island was created to train you boys."
Killua objects "Only Gon, really. I just tagged along for the ride."
I grin "And I tag along for the ride as well."
Kite turns to me "Are you sure... This has been bothering me for a while cause I see it as a waste... are you, Daniel is it? And Killua perhaps together..."
Killua responds "What gave it way?"
Kite responds "That useless aura wastage his got going... you're not even two feet away from him."
Killua turns away in embarrassment as I interject "It's not a total waste I could use Killua as a land mark..."
Killua turns to look at me, glaring annoyingly at me.
Kite laughs at Killua's reaction "I'm just trying to see what works with you... you're like complete opposites. Both of you like control. Killua's calm and collective while Daniel's a big on the jokers side."
I frown as Killua laughs at me "I'm no joker... I just... don't like being serious twenty-four seven..."
Gon interjects "Maybe meeting you two was a part of Ging's plan, too."
Killua retorts "Even me? Nah, that's impossible."
I nod "There is no way someone could be that good enough to control the fates of so many individuals... Even my father couldn't predict Killua and I."
Kite interjects "However, it appears that our meeting here wasn't coincidence."
Killua nods "Yeah, I agree. There must be a deeper meaning to this."
