I was reading another story—sorry, guys—and it was really interesting. I'm sure you guys understand what that's like.

Jett once again found himself in a boat. While his last experience was not so bad, it still left him with no desire to ever get in a boat again, yet he couldn't help it if he wanted to get to his destination. He could only distract himself by surfing cyberspace, a habit engraved into him by his previous world's social norms and society.

While scrolling through various things, he notices some news about a certain city. A research facility was attacked by an unknown lizard-like creature. "Gon, look at this..." Jett calls out to Gon, who is talking to Killua about Whale Island and what it is like. 

"What is it?" Gon asked. 

"A strange lizard creature attacked a research facility and killed all the researchers; after later investigation, the corpse of a similar creature they were researching was taken," Jett read. Jett couldn't help but get a strange feeling of foreboding as he showed Gon the picture captured by the research facility's cameras.

"Is this the creature you said you fought on the island?" Killua asked, looking over Jett's shoulder. It looks the same, but the picture of this thing shows that it is a lot bigger than the one I killed," Jett answered. 

"What do you think it was doing..." Killua asked. 

"Well, from what is said here, it looks like it attacked the facility in search of that other lizard's corpse, but I'm more worried about how it was able to track it down since it died a long time ago. This thing was somehow able to track its kin down across oceans..." Jett left the rest of what he thought unsaid, but Gon, a natural hunter, filled in the rest.

"If he can track down a corpse, then it can track down the one who killed its kin," Gon said.

"Yes, that means I have an unknown person trying to capture me for some reason. I may also have a strong creature after me," Jett said.

"Wait, look here..." Killua said, pointing at something on the screen.

"They sent a hunter after the creature; it says they are trying to capture it alive," Killua said, reading the article.

"That's good, but the one I killed was able to learn Nen the moment I hit it with a Nen infuse punch. Hopefully, the hunter they sent after it kills it instead of trying to capture it," Jett said. 

"If it ends up scaping, it may come after you," Killua said. 

"Yeah, that just means I'm going to have to be more vigilant; hey, look, it is Whale Island," Jett said, seeing the Island come into view at a distance. 

As soon as they saw the Island, they stopped their conversation. Memories of the grandmother who took care of him appeared in his mind. He needed to go and pay his respects to her. 

"I'll see you guys later. I'll leave first. I have something to do," Jett said. Before they could dock, Jett disappeared from the boat and appeared fifty meters in the air for a moment, then he was gone again. Those in the boat, except for Killua and Gon, stared with their mouths open.

"What was that about?" Killua asked Gon.

"He's probably going to visit his grandmother," Gon replied, looking in the direction that Jett disappeared. 

After getting off the ship, Gon and Killua arrive at Gon's house; his aunt Mitto tries to snap Gon's hunter's license in two after holding it in her hands for a few seconds. This part of the story goes precisely as in the original storyline, where Killua questions what he will do later. Later in the night, Gon's aunt gave him a box left behind by his father, Ging. Killua quickly discovered how to open it, they were going to play the cassette tape but Killua suddenly stopped. "Do you think we should include Jett? Maybe he would think of something after listening to the cassette," Killua said. 

"No, we should leave him alone for a while," Gon said, atypical of his usual selfish nature. Killua could guess that he could be sensible from time to time. So they listened to the cassette without Jett but later looked for him. 

Jett was training in the clearing, where he met Gon for the first time. He had to train; he had someone figuratively pressing a knife to his throat. Someone was after him because of his curiosity to search for information about his birthmark, but he didn't regret it. If he could find out information about it, it would be worth it, not only would it solve the mystery of his body, but he felt that knowing would improve his Nen somehow, he didn't know why, it was just how he felt.

He also may or may not have a large lizard coming after him at any time, so he had to train and think of new moves that he could use to attack. However, he had a problem: one of his Nen was still sealed. He could feel that the seal on his Nen was slowly fading, but it was doing so slowly. It was like a large burning candle melting in the fire. The seal would eventually break, but it would take time. 

One of the moves he was trying to come up with, or more like recreate, was the Rasengan. Nen and Chakra are both life energy, so he was sure he would be able to recreate them. Compressing energy was simply enough; the Nen techniques already had a way of doing that, and even holding the energy together was part of the advanced Nen techniques. 

When he was training to recreate the technique, both Gon and Killua came to find him, but they weren't the only ones. Jett found it funny that all three came simultaneously as if it was supposed to happen that way. He didn't say anything about the third person; he wanted to know if Gon and Killua would notice. From what he could see from Killuas's body language, he noticed already. He couldn't notice anything from Gon; Jett only saw him smiling and waving at him, but he was surprised when Gon suddenly hung him and whispered. 

"Someone is hiding behind a three to the right," Gon said. "I know," Jett replied. 

"I'm assuming you guys didn't come to find me just because you miss me?" Jett said without giving away that he noticed they were being watched. 

"I did miss you," Gon said without stuttering at the cheesy line. Jett also didn't think about it; Gon was honest with his feelings like any other enhancer. 

"We also found a hint about where Ging could be," Gon exploded enthusiastically. 

"Oh? that's good; what did you find?" Jett asked.

"Gon's dad left him a memory card for a Joy Station. We ordered the console, and it will arrive tomorrow. We're going to see if the memory card has any saved data on it," Killua added, showing Jett the ring and memory card. 

Jett guessed that anything a double-star hunter left behind couldn't be simple. Jett used (Gyo) to see the ring and discovered it was emitting Nen. Killua, a trained assassin, notices Jett's actions; he is learning and doing it fast. He also uses (Gyo) and looks at the ring and memory card; the memory card is just as ordinary as it looked; the ring, on the other hand, is different; he had already noticed the script in the ring before but didn't know what it was because this time around Wing didn't tie a string around Gons finger with the script. 

"Is Nen," Killua said as he looked at the ring. 

"Yeah, it is. Interestingly, whoever made this ring is a Nen user," Jett said. 

"I think the script in the ring also has something to do with it; the same script was in the box that Gon's dad left behind," Killua added more information. 

"Umm, they probably have something to do with Nen. In many cultures script, symbols, and other forms of writing represent power, I'm assuming this script has some power that holds Nen," Jett deduced, but it wasn't without bases. In all forms of culture that had some energy power they always had some way of spoken and written form that allowed the energy to be controlled, contained, or take a different meaning. In Naruto it was sealing Jutsu, in Bleach it was either Kido or Hado with magic it was runes. 

"Would you like me to tell you..." a man's voice said as they talked, but they were ready. As soon as they heard the voice, all three of them disappeared from their spot in the blink of an eye and were at the side of the person who spoke. 

"Who are you?" Jett asked. Killua was to the man's right, his hands transformed and pointing at her throat. Gon was on the left, in a battle stance. Nen was glowing on his hand, ready to attack. Jett had appeared behind the man. He had created a Nen blade and was also holding it to the man's throat, just like Killua. 

"Are children this scary nowadays?" the person said rhetorically. The person now sounded female, while the voice before had sounded male. Her form was covered with a cloak, so her gender couldn't be identified. It seemed like she or he was trying to throw them off, or at least that was what Jett and Killua thought, until she took off her cloak, and her long pink hair fell to her waist. 

"My name is Jess; you may remember me by the bullet that almost killed you," Jess said. 

"..." They didn't say anything. 

"Harsh, but understandable..." Jess said again.

"I was watching you from a faraway distance, far enough that you wouldn't notice if someone were looking. The reason it was you, Jett, at first I wanted to kill you so that man didn't get you and become stronger. I tried to kill him before, but I failed every time; he had too many people, and they were all Nen users. After I failed to kill you I watched, you were strong even after getting so close to me I wasn't able to shoot you..." Jess started to explain herself. She figured that she should come out and say everything from the beginning; the children in front of her were dangerous, especially to her right and behind. She could feel that if she moved even an inch, she would die. The one on her left was also dangerous but her experience told her he would hesitate to kill her, he was her best way out. Although escaping wasn't her goal at the moment, after she saw the kid Jett fight, she knew she found an ally against that man. 

"I then watch you fight that man...I can tell you everything I know and I can even tell you about those Items you have," she said. Gon and Killua looked at Jett. This was about him, so he had to decide. 

"Try anything; you will die," Jett said coldly. All three of them backed down but didn't let their guard down.
