Gon and Killua exploring around the airship hand in hand. The two looked innocent, especially Gon.
He was holding hands with a very cute young girl even though she was a killer but It couldn't be denied that she was cute.
And while the two were exploring around the airship they had to stop because Gon felt someone watching them.
In the canon it should be Killua who took a notice but in this AU. Killua was too carefree and weaker than the original.
'Why did she look at us like that'
And it wasn't Netero who was watching them but Illumi. She looked at them. No, at their hands.
Gon felt like he was going to die if he didn't let go of Killua hand but.
"Oi, Gon Killua so you two are here and look at that holding hand! You moved fast my friend"
It was then someone appeared on the scene. and it was someone that Illumi and Hisoka were interested in.
Sullivan Morningstar!
'I didn't feel his presence until he appeared. Interesting'
and not only him. the woman behind him too. She was now looking at her like a mother hen.
If she did anything to him. It would be her that would be killed instead.
'Weird, She shouldn't be that strong but her presence is very disturbing. Even though she wasn't strong like that man… But she had a look that she used to kill.'
Illumi looked at them a second longer before disappearing. It wasn't the time to make a move yet.
Sullivan sighed. He was relieved that he reached here in time. He didn't know if Illumi would do something to his friend or not.
"Sullivan, Why did she look at me like that? I didn't do anything to make her angry didn't I"
As perceptive as usual. He looked at him still holding Killua's hand before shaking his head.
"Don't worry there are many weird people in this world. but worry not because I am here."
Gon was so innocent that He needed to teach him about hand holding. Eww that's too lewd!
but it was a brother's job when the daddy went to get milk and never come back poor baby boy.
And as they talked to each other. The real thing appeared. It was Netero smiling at everyone with a grandfather's smile. Unlike Dumber than door and Charles Caviar. He was genuine.
No greater good by using other as expense bull sh*t. He would take the matter in his own hand for everyone's greater good.
He nuked himself to make sure no threat would reach humanity.
Netero was surprised when seeing Sullivan looking at him with respect. He was receiving respect everywhere because of his status as a president.
But to him Sullivan now didn't seem to respect him by the status but something else he didn't know.
'Well let's observe him for now then'
Netero then did as in the canon. He checked if they knew about Nen and then he got an answer. In the group only Killua didn't know about Nen and tried to hide behind Gon for safety. Gon, who knew how to use Nen, used Shroud or Ten to cover himself and Killua made her felt safe around Gon.
She knew that Gon was protecting her and she held his hand tighter.
"Thank you Gon"
"Umu, No problem!"
Netero then invited everyone to play a game with him and if they won he would issue a hunter license for everyone.
Sullivan knew what game he was going to play with them. Everyone was waiting for his answer.
"Why not? It sounded fun and didn't seem to be dangerous."
Netero smiled when hearing him.
…
Inside a room with a wooden floor.
Netero now had changed his cloth into a casual one with a ball in his hand. He spinned it on his forefinger tip.
He explained the rule to them. They had 9 hours to steal the ball. and if they successfully steal it they will pass and will get the license immediately.
Sullivan looked at Hermione.
'Well a loophole is here but'
'Will we be able to steal it?'
The two knew that Netero was a monster. Even though Sullivan was strong, Netero was stronger for sure. not to mention he had vast experience.
'He won't hold back much playing with us'
Unlike in the canon that he deem Gon and Killua as kids but for Sullivan and Hermione he would treat them differently.
