He tried so hard to be the best Hunter in the world… to be the best hero ever… But that was until the world had just gone too far…

Gon stood in the shadow of the towering Chimera Ant nest, his heart pounding as the weight of loss crushed him, his eyes were lifeless and shaking violently, the sparkle once there is gone… Kite, the mentor who had opened his eyes to the world of Hunters, lay lifeless at the hands of Neferpitou…

*The air was thick with the stench of despair, but beneath it simmered a seething rage, pushing its way to the surface, demanding release.

As he approached the scene, memories flooded his mind… Kite's laughter… his teachings… the bond they shared… But all of that was overshadowed by the image of Kite’s final moments, the cruel smirk on Pitou's face as she had taken everything away. Tears streamed down his face, but they were no longer tears of sorrow… They were tears of fury, transforming his grief into something he never felt, could this be? The feeling of vengeance… Like he is just sick of playing hero…?

In that moment, something within Gon shattered. The boy who had sought adventure and friendship has been pushed so far, maybe even too far.. With every heartbeat, the darkness grew, and he could feel the remnants of his innocence slip away. He clenched his fists, his aura pulsating like it was just waiting to unleash anger.. After for what felt like a million years, he finally whispered.

Gon: “Neferpitou… I’ll make you pay.”

He wasn’t a naive little boy, but now officially someone seeking revenge. With each step towards the Chimera Ant, he knew there was no turning back. The line between hero and villain has just been crossed.
