21 grabbing an old man's ball

A/N:

If people are wondering if this is gunna follow canon, na it won't. During the trick tower arc, he will separate. After hunter exam finishes I will probably do an oc arc. Yorknew, he might join the troupe, have a fight with hisoka or kurapika.

Probably gunna skip greed island, dont know though, while gon and killua are doing greed island. he will just do some missions with the troupe.

Come back for chimera ant arc etc.

This isn't final though, sh*t could change.

And as for why he is friends with Gon and Kil, like he said before, he is just an envious prick and also he is also a kid, only his soul got sent, not his brain, so even though he is much more mature than others his age, it is not by much. And also Gon is that charismatic. And besides who wouldn't mind having friends with a 1 in 100,000,000 talent. If Gon could go to such lengths to try and revive kite. How helpful would he be to Amon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After clearing the exam's Second Phase, Amon and his friends fly through the starry sky, toward the site for the Third Phase. The Second Phase, which was revamped to collecting eggs from Split Mountain. Amon and the crew had easily completed the test. Currently they were on the airship to the 3rd Phase.

At the front of the Airship, where windows lined the walls, the applicants could be seen gathered. They were all facing 2 people. Netero and his assistant Beans.

"Allow me to introduce myself to the forty-two remaining applicants. I am Netero, Chairman of this year's Hunter Exam Selection Committee." Netero stated.

"I am his secretary, Beans." Beans also addded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the applicants finished listening to Netero's monologue. They all went to the airship to rest or sleep. Except for Amon, Killua and Gon, who wanted to roam around it.

When they reached side-viewing windows. Amon was curious to see if he had changed the iconic scene of Killua telling Gon that he was an assassin.

"Hey I was wondering..." Gon started.

"Hmm?" Both Amon and Killua mumbled back.

"Where are your mum and dad?" He asked.

"Hmm...they are alive." Killua answered. Amon was confused, who answers 'they are alive' to where are your parents? Whatever, this is Killua.

"He means, they are probably home, or on a job somewhere." Amon answered.

"Woh, what do they do?"

"They are assassins." Killua and Amon answered simultaneously.

"Huh? Both of them?" Gon asked confused.

"Bruh, is that really your reactions, normally one would say 'haha funny' or 'no way f*ck off'," Amon said.

"Ehh, but you are my friends, why would you lie?" Gon said looking confused. Killua and Amon glanced at each other and burst out laughing.

"You are telling the truth right?" He asked.

"Yeah, we won't lie to you, after all we are friends, but remember people can lie to become your friends," Amon seriously said. No matter how cute Gon's innocence and naivety could be, in the real world, it was fatal. In addition, Amon wasn't sure if Gon still had the protagonist plot armor. Nevertheless, there was nothing harmful in giving advice.

"Hmm!" Gon said nodding.

"We are both from a family of assassins, I'm an assassin, and Amon's an assassin. My family used to have high hopes for both of us, but for some reason, all of that is on me now. I can't stand it, so I ran away." Killua said, looking sadly out the window towards the bright illuminated city.

Amon had sweat running down his back; he still hadn't told Killua that it was mostly because of him that Killua was made heir.

"When I told them I wanted to decide my own future, they all snapped! My mother had tears streaming down her face, as she told me I have the potential to be a top assassin. We ended up fighting. So I stabbed my mother in the face, and ran away from home. I'm sure they're out for blood now. But if they find me, I'll send them packing. When I become a Hunter, I'll start by capturing my family. I'm sure they're worth some hefty bounties..." Killua dreamily concluded while Gon listened intently.

"You will capture me as well?" Amon said with a smirk.

"Yea you as well!" Killua responded.

"Seems I need to take away some one's candy eh." Amon remarked.

Killua instantly paled, he had already suffered many times during his childhood, when Amon would hid his candy somewhere. Just as Killua was about to apologise, a sudden burst of intent blasted the trio. Gon and Killua both looked at a corridor from where the presence was from, it was empty.

Amon meanwhile was staring at someone walking towards them from the opposite direction. Isaac Netero was coming for a talk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Netero invited them for a game. The trio had followed the old man to an empty room. The game was simple enough; Gon and Killua had to try to snatch the ball Netero was holding onto. If they managed to get it by the time they reached the destination, then they would become Hunters.

It had already been quite a while since the game started. Amon was observing, he decided to have a try later on. Killua had gotten pissed and quit. Gon was still adamant about it. He kept on trying until he finally managed to make Netero move the ball to his hand. After that, he fell asleep due to the exhaustion.

"Want to have a turn now?" Netero said while turning towards Amon.

"Why not, are you still going to use the handicaps?" Amon replied with a smile.

Netero narrowed his eyes for a few seconds, but then nodded after seeing Amon's aura. They both got into position. Netero had the ball resting his hand behind his back; he was currently crouched like a tiger.

"Start." As soon as Netero's voice ended, Amon sprang at him. He was at the speed of a blur. Netero quickly stepped sideways. Amon was sent flying past Netero, as he got closer to the wall, instead of slowing down, he sped up. Just as he was about to crash into the wall, a portal with a 5f diameter opened. As Amon dove into it, another opened close to the ball.

Amon reached for the ball as he came out of the portal. Netero though, had already sensed the portal beforehand and had chucked the ball to his other hand.

The game of cat and mouse continued for the remaining trip. Every time though, Amon would be getting closer to Netero. However, Netero would always pull of a crazy stunt like, passing it to his feet, or even manipulating his Nen into another hand.

As the game continued, Amon got more frustrated. But something seemed to be unlocking inside of him. As more time passed, the feeling got larger. When they were 10 mins left until the destination. Something inside Amon clicked. Everything fit into place.

Amon summoned another portal, but this time instead of going inside and using it. This was turned into a black vortex. After a few seconds, strands of Nen instantly shot out from the vortex, wrapped them around the ball, quickly pulled it in, and then disappeared. After it was pulled in, Netero stared inquisitively at Amon, as if to answer that vortex reappeared above Amon and threw the ball towards him. Amon caught it while grinning.

He had set up his first Nen condition, even though it might not have been combat orientated. Progress was progress.
