Prologue

A cloaked figure stands outside the party, watching as the fight ends, and the guests try to pick back up, and resume the party. "No matter what planet you hail from, you royalty always have to keep up your appearances." He said, slightly amused at the tenacity of the party goers. He plopped down on a ledge, focusing on Tsuribe.

"What are you doing here? Do you know what your presence here can do to him?" The woman with silver hair appeared behind him without a trace.

"I guess when it is your planet, silent teleporting is not really an issue for you, now is it Tsuna?" He reached around his neck, and started to toy with a pendant around his neck, covered in blood.

"Why are you here? Is this your way of paying your respects? Spending time here?"

He sighed, without turning around, bringing his hand up to his face. "This just reminds me of better times. It is a form of torture of myself, knowing what the future holds. For letting it all happen."

"As a member of the Urian Royal family, you can't beat yourself up for whatever happened. However, you are responsible for changing the past. You know what the consequences of those actions are. Time travel is explicitly forbidden for a reason." She chastised.

"I am surprised you know who I am. Well, what are you going to do, exact the punishment yourself?"

"Well, you don't belong in this time, so you're out of my jurisdiction. I cannot do anything to you myself." Tsuna sighed, then decided to change the subject. "Why did you change the past?"

"To prevent Uragin's Sorrow, Unos."

"What is Uragin's Sorrow? What is Unos?" She asked. When she received no response, she looked down, and saw that he was no longer there. "I really hope that Tsuike doesn't grow up to be like you." Tsuna stood there for a second, then reappeared back at the party

Three months later, back on earth.

A reporter hangs out of a helicopter, flying high above a highway, screaming into his mic through the wind. Down below, a car races down the five lane road, chased by police cars and government vehicles. "Despite the best efforts of our dear police force and government, it seems that this crook will get away with his weapons!" Watching the car slowly pull away from the police, the helicopter begins to pull back. "We're headed into restricted space, we can't go any further!" The pilot yells. After stopping, the cameraman sees something behind the police, and focuses in on it.

Jumping out of nowhere onto the highway, Tsuike rode on a floating antigravity board, covered in Urian tech. Weaving in and out of the cars with incredible speed, he caught up to the thief's car, slowing down to match their speed. "I'm going to need you to pull over!" He yelled over the wind, turning his body backwards with the board, flying in that position. Placing his hand on the hood of the car, he looked into the windshield to see one of the robbers yelling at the one in the passenger seat, as the one in the passenger seat reached his hand out the window and pointed a gun at him. "Well, time to finish this one up!" Pushing a large amount of electricity into the car, The car's computer system overloaded and crashed, locking up the car's brakes, stopping it abruptly as all of the other cars caught up. However, it also caused the pressure to build up, and a hole popped up where Tsuike's hand was, scratching his hand slightly. Slowing to a stop, Tsuike kicked the board up into the air, catching it. "And yet again, Tsuike saves the population of our fair city from yet another threat. Who knows what would have happened if they had made it to the airport with those weapons!" The reporter said into the camera, urging the cameraman to get one more shot before pulling away.

"Tsuike Novaus, how nice it is to see you again." A man rode in a car, pulling right next to him. He was decorated in an army uniform, his torso covered in medals.

"General Darien, always a...pleasure to see you." Tsuike responded, slightly sarcastically.

"I'll ask you one more time, you are a guest on this planet, and in this country. If you do not give us some of that technology that you use, we won't be able to continue to keep you as a diplomat from ...whatever alien planet you're from. We aren't getting anything out of allowing you to stay on this planet."

"Neither am I, General. You know what the answer is. Especially as long as I follow the law and pay taxes on the land I own, you've got nothing on me."

"I don't think it will be too hard to find something on someone like you. A sixteen year old boy that owns land and pays for it monthly? Something illegal has to be going on there." He sneered, trying to shake Tsuike up.

"Go ahead and look into me. You know what they say, those that aren't guilty, need not fear the law." Tsuike tossed his board back on the ground and rode away, jumping off the bridge.

"You know, I don't think Urian tech is meant to be used that way." Carrie said, as Tsuike walked in the door of the house.

"Well, why not? There's no reason not to use this to travel."

"It's unprotected, zipping around on a board like that is deadly, even if it is controlled by your mind."

"Why are you being so snippy?"

"Well, one, you keep getting into arguments with the General here on your home planet, and two, your vacation is up, you're being sent back to Uragin. I don't want my master to blame me for your lack of manners." Carrie pouted. "The ship is already here, they're going to pick you up about...now."

"Do you ever get nicer?" Tsuike said as the white light engulfed him.
