Tsuna stood triumphantly over a kneeled Xanxus. Completed Sky Ring in hand, his dying will flame had slowly faded away as he stared at Xanxus. Tsuna's family stood behind him as well as the guests of both sides. They were about to cheer, but there was something wrong. Though Xanxus kneeled defeated, the Cervello judges did not declare Tsuna the winner.

"Hey? What's going on here?" Snarled Ken, the Beast Man from the Kokuyo gang. Always loud and obnoxious, and always irritable.

The Storm Guardian grew restless as he always did and spat at the Judges, "Come on! The 10th won fair and square! Hurry up and declare him the winner!"

The various cries were heard all saying the same thing, but the more Experienced members of the audience, namely the Arcobaleno's, Dr. Shamal and Squalo, knew the reason Victory was not declared. A flash of purple mist burst from Xanxus and a stream of his signature gunfire was heard as he hurtled towards Tsuna, who managed to catch a hold of him just in time to absorb some of his flame and re-renter Hyper Dying Will Mode. The 'completed' Sky Ring faded away in his hand to a half completed one.

"You had Viper hide your presence moments before defeat while you stalled for time? Cowardly, Xanxus." Tsuna responded as he delivered a kick sending Xanxus hurtling towards the air.

Regaining his balance by firing a shot of fire into the air causing momentum as he flew back towards Tsuna, "SHUT UP TRASH! I don't want to hear you preaching to me when the battle isn't over!" Xanxus snarled and laughed hysterically as he declared that he knew Tsuna's weakness. From a nearby building, Levi, Belphegor and the others of the Varia were watching on, receiving Medical treatment from the Medical Squad. They decided to stay out and leave the rest to their boss as he gives them a good show.

"Your weakness… is your FAMILY!!!!""This is bad." Reborn declared, nodding towards Colonello.

Tsuna became alert and rushed to match Xanxus' speed, but his utter lack of Flame forced him to slow down as a bullet was shot into the crowd. Spiraling, the bullet picked up momentum and covered itself in flames as it pierced through Gokudera's chest. The crowd went silent for several seconds as Tsuna appeared before Xanxus could fire another bullet, now bursting with flames similar to that of Xanxus', flames filled with Hatred and Rage. .

Yamamoto screamed at the top of his lungs, "G-GOKUDERA?!" Everyone flocked to his side, save for Hibari, who instead stared at the ongoing battle, calculating who was stronger. Pulling him up, Gokudera coughed up a bit of blood as he uttered, "B…Boss…." They turned to the worried looking Dr. Shamal.

"I… only treat wome… I…" He turned away and motioned for the others to lay him down as sparks flew from above. The battle was truly in its final stage now, as both had drawn upon their last reserves of strength as the battle each other in the air. They flew at fast speeds into close range as the they declared their now mutual hatred.

"XANXUS!!!!!!!!!!!"

"SAWADA!!!!!!!!!!"

Before his punch had connected , Tsuna had grabbed his fist and poured his heart into one final blow, as he sent a surge of his own fire into Xanxus' body, while performing the Zero Point Breakthrough, over powering Xanxus completely. He only meant to freeze his hands, but Tsuna's anger blinded him as Xanxus' entire body became encased in the flame sealing ice, and he plummeted to the ground, defeated as the remnants of his flame, faded to smoke,
