Target 1 - Middle East I
Kaito: Hey hey hey, look over there! People are so tiny!
Haname: Don't move like that!
Luca: Well, he is excited because he had never taken a plane before ...
Arashi: Come on, he has taken it to get to and from Italy! It's the third time, now!
Cloud: Shut up, I'm trying to listen to some music.
Arashi: ... Do you know where I'm going put that your mp3 player, you asocial cloud?
Cloud: You should moderate your words, Miss Storm. You're a girl, not a street boy.
Arashi: Ok ... I'll kill you.
The redhead is about to take her two twin guns but she's quickly stopped by Kaito and Haname, who are trying to calm her explosive fury.
Arashi: LET ME GO!
Cloud: Sigh, you should sedate her.
As usual, the mist is consulting his tarot cards, placing them on his legs.
Shinji: Um, you're right, Arashi should calm down a bit ... as our boss, she is so quiet ...
After Shinji has said that, the group turns to the Vongola, who's observing the window with a serious look.
Haname: Uh ... she didn't say a word ...
Arashi: I bet she thinks that she has forced us to join her in this trip.
Kaito: But then ... where are we going?
Haname: We're going to Spain, but I don't know why ...
The storm sighs, sitting down in her place and crossing her legs.
Arashi: I'm sure Nozo has a valid reason to go there. Or, at least, I hope for her.
Haname: It's annoying she didn't say anything to us. We are her guardians, but, first of all, we are her friends. Shouldn't she tell us what is in her mind?
Arashi: I hope she doesn't think of bothering us. It's annoying that she wants to keep all the responsibility for herself.
Shinji: Oh-oh ...
Kaito: Oh, what was that?
Luca: Something random I hope.
Masato: Oh-oh ... what? I don't like how it sounds ...
From the seat behind Arashi there's a confused Masato.
Arina: Nobody likes it.
The blonde woman is sitting next to Arashi's brother and she keeps looking at her student with insistence.
The mist shakes his head, turning to his family and taking a worried expression.
Shinji: Well ... you're not going to like it.
Kaito: Just say it! Do you want to be bitten from my alpacas?
Haname: calm down a bit and let's listen to him!
The mist turns to the opposite side, towards the Vongola.
Shinji: Nozomi... we have a problem
As she just woke up from a dream the girl brings her attention to the brown.
Shinji: A very big problem... this is what the tarots have said.
Nozomi: ... When?
Shinji: Well ... in about 3 ...
The cloud takes off the headphones from his ears, looking at everyone with a bored look.
Arashi: Three what? Three days?
Shinji: ... 2 ...
Kaito: ... eh?
Kaito grabs Haname's arm and she remains silent, puzzled.
Luca: I can't believe it...
Nozomi stands up, catching her bag and putting it over the shoulder. Arina imitates her, shaking Masato and Jun, forcing them to move.
Shinji: ... 1 ...
Kaito: HEY STOP! For the love of the Sun what the hell is going on?
Arashi: I HOPE YOU DON'T WANT TO BRING DOWN THE PLANE!
A female voice comes from the speaker and warns everyone that the plane would support an emergency landing and they have to stay calm because it's all under control.
The plane goes down with some screams from the terrified passengers, an annoyingly and repetitive alarm is echoing through the halls.
Masato: Are you kidding?!
Masato clings to a seat, in despair.
Kaito: ARASHI IT'S YOUR FAULT!
He screams, holding a seat too.
Arashi: WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
Shinji: ... My tarot cards work better since I started using the flame to predict ...
Luca: This isn't the time to think about this!
Jun, who seems the most terrified, grabbed Arina's jacket and doesn't seem to want to leave it, repetitively saying some prayers.
Arashi grabs her hand luggage and she's next to Nozomi while Haname takes her shoulder bag and Kaito is still clinging to the seat, whimpering.
Kaito: WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, WHAT WE HAVE TO DO-
Luca: You can start by taking your bag and then reach the Juuichidaime!
Arina: Calm down, it's just an emergency landing. We'll not die ...
Cloud: Good to know.
Nozomi: Either way, get ready. We don't know why we had this problem.
Arashi: ... Nozo, you still believe there is someone who ...
Nozomi: I don't trust anyone, any more. Any problem can be related to what I am.
Cloud: Tsk, this attitude is unnerving. I still wonder why I'm following you.
Arina: Perhaps for the relics? However, it is useless to cross your bridges before you come to them. Don't split up and wait.
Cloud: So brace yourselves. The impact will be strong.
Kaito: What impact-
Kaito can't finish the sentence because the group is almost thrown back when the plane touches the ground with force, forced to stop in the middle of nowhere in some kind of place.
The sun, which is rolled back, gets up staggering shortly after, when the roar and shock in the aircraft have been finished and the Vongola group is raising with fatigue and worry.
The hallways are full of voices and cries, passengers continue to curse and scream scared and the pilot has already appeared, trying to reassure them.
- I assure you that everything is fine! The plane wasn't severely damaged, don't worry! Just give us time to contact the nearest control tower to call for help! -
Nozomi: ... Let's get out, let's see where we are.
Arina: Are you sure? It may be dangerous.
Nozomi: The danger must be a part of our lives.
Her tutor grabs her arm, forcing her to look at the woman.
Arina: Undicesima, enough. Your arrogance is bothering everyone. Remember that you are children and, moreover, without experience. So do not be reckless.
The brunette looks away, mournfully.
Nozomi: ... I said it because I trust them and their capabilities. That's why we're on this plane ...
Arina: It looks like you're dragging them as baggage.
Nozomi: What?
Arina: Look around and open your eyes. It's the only advice I can give you right now.
Nozomi: But ... If I brought them here it's because we need to create a stronger bond that unites us and destroy our enemies.
Her tutor observes her sideways.
Arina: It seems like you're making excuses mixed with fairy tales. You should think about what you say, Undicesima.
Nozomi: I'm not looking for excuses! I want to create a strong harmony among us, there aren't other ways to do it!
Arina: It seems you are flying with your imagination ... And then ... harmony, you say?
Cloud: Ah ah. Harmony, uh? Are you talking about the "Number XI" or are you speaking of us as your ... "Guardians"?
The girl goes in front of the young man, looking at him seriously.
Nozomi: I speak of us as a family. It was you who said that we are out of sync, right?
Cloud: Your melody is so pathetic, it has no energy or emotions.
Nozomi: So your help is essential, Cloud. You have to synchronize us.
Cloud: I'm not interested in these things.
Nozomi: I'll give you what you want, but as a Maestro you can't ignore this request. I want that the group can act in the same way.
Cloud: Hmm.
Nozomi: We have to understand each other without even having to talk ... the music have to guide us, a harmony that we all have in our hearts and it resonates equally for all.
Cloud: This is impossible if not ridiculous.
Nozomi: It isn't impossible and I am not afraid of difficulties. And the others too.
Cloud: ... You're too sure of yourself, girl. Come down off your high horse, otherwise you will be in serious trouble.
Arina: And back down to earth.
The Vongola turns, sighing, with a quite angry expression.
The girl reaches the door of the aircraft and tries to open it. Kaito and Luca help her to unlock the door and it slides down, opening a passage that fill the cabin with fresh air.
Arashi approaches Arina, who has been watching the operation without saying anything.
Arashi: ... She's so sure and strong, the story of her father has upset her a lot. But to this point ... I don't know what she wants to do.
Arina: ... I can understand that Decimo was a point of reference for her, that's why Undicesima is unable to accept that he could deny his help ... But she had to expect it. Decimo never wanted Undicesima to live those situations, what was she thinking? Did she really believe that he would accept her decision with a smiling face?
Arashi: Arina... What should we do? I'm not sure that she is acting in an appropriate manner.
Arina: Let her run around the minefield. She will learn at her own expense what it means to fly with the fantasy without stopping to think about things.
Arina's answer seems to displace Arashi, who rolls her eyes in surprise.
Arashi: So ... I have to let her keep doing shit?
Arina: She won't be able to understand, her vision is now blurred. She can't understand until she slams into a wall.
Luca: Hey hey, nee-chan, Arashi! Come down and see, we are in a forest and there is also a river!
Arina: A river?
Luca: Juuichidaime has suggested that we are in an Indian or Arab region, I dunno, however we must all get off the plane!
Cloud: Ah, does she suggested it? Then it must be surely right, eh.
Luca stares at him puzzled while Arina simply sighs, looking at the boy when Masato comes close to help her going down.
Luca: Uh, yeah that's it! ... I think.
Arashi: It was obviously ironic. Dumb.
The Fukada man in front of the door tends his hand to help his sister but she dodges it.
Arashi: Get your hands off me, you moron. I can go down alone.
He observes her slipping out of the gate, perplexed.
Masato: ...why does she hates me so much?
He also walked in the door and fell on the fresh grass, looking at the tall trees surrounding the landscape.
Cloud: Have you ever tried leaving her alone?
The engineer turns and the two boys look at each other.
Cloud: ... You're just the kind of harassing person that she hates.
The cloud chuckles, moving away.
Masato: ... Oh ... I'm not good with relationships, I just knows machines and ... yes, it seems I will have to better study this situation.
After exploring the surrounding area, composed mostly of dense vegetation except for a river that waters the land, the group helps the other passengers to get off the plane while the pilot thanks them.
- I tried to contact the control tower, but the reception is disturbed ... however it seems that we are in Turkey. -
Arina: Uh, at least are they coming to take us back?
- It will take them a while, this place is dangerous because of an internal conflict with the governors, they shall act in place to prevent that someone could fall into the hands of the rebels. -
The staff, including technicians and assistants, is trying to build tents with what remains of the parachutes, sheets and towels taken from the aircraft.
Men also present among the passengers decide to help, while women are providing assistance to a few wounded, seeking fruit in the trees and taking fresh water from the river.
The blonde tutor observes the movements of her student, she approaches the guardians' group with the usually 'trust-me-I-know-what-to-do' look.
Arina is calm, doesn't want to get angry, after all she has already reassured Arashi earlier. Anything thing that can happen due to Nozomi's carelessness will be a great teaching for her.
It's stupid and useless to talk to her, her head is harder than a diamond.
She has already decided that the best choice is letting the experience to teach her, so she doesn't hold back. There is nothing she can do to open her eyes.
Nozomi: Luca and Kaito, help everyone building tents for the night.
Kaito: Oh, let's do some good deed!
Luca: Roger!
Nozomi: Cloud, you're a good coordinator, I hope that you will help supervising the work and assigning tasks.
Cloud: Why should I? ...Well, I already know that you won't leave me until I change my mind. Let's harmonize this bunch of messy ...
The Vongola turns to the mist, which is sitting on a log observing his tarot thoughtfully.
Nozomi: Shinji ... the only thing you can do is make sure that everyone is safe, so stay here and keep your eyes open ...
Shinji: ... Huh? Nozomi ... but ...
Nozomi: ... Your best quality resides in your senses, more developed than ours. Your job is to pay attention to anything ... See also your tarot cards in case ... you're like a guard ... or a medium ... or a shaman ... Dunno, I don't understand.
Shinji looks at the girl with surprise and then giggles shyly.
Shinji: Ok.
Then she turns to the two girls beside her.
Nozomi: Well, beauty. We're going to get us some food!
The sky winks so convincingly that the initial concerns of the two vanishes with a sigh, and then give way to a smile.
Arashi: Oh yeeees, I'm so hungry I could eat a pink alpacorn!
Haname: I feel as a survivor on a desert island, like in that movie!
Nozomi: But we're not on an island, though.
Haname: Details.
Shinji: ... Nozomi ... I have to warn you.
The girls haven't even taken two steps and the brown forced them to stop, but the girls are also already scared.
Arashi: Fuckkaito! What's going on now? An alien orangudile invasion?
Haname: Oh, I see ... we are ... surrounded ...?
Nozomi: ... They are just random normal guys ...
Nozomi can't even finish the sentence that a group of men, with backpacks and rifles, is surrounding the survivors aiming at them with their weapons.
They are dressed in tunics and dirty trousers, their faces are cold and serious and among them there are also some kids.
Kaito, Luca and Cloud quickly move away from the tents to meet the quartet, while Arina, Masato and Jun are next to the wounded they were helping.
Jun trembles with fear and clings again to Arina, she says nothing and merely looks at the pilot, who's approaching to the rebels with arms raised, while maintaining a good dose of cold blood.
- We had to make an emergency landing, sorry... please, don't hurt us. -
A darker-skinned man approaches the pilot, holding the gun pointed to his forehead.
- We won't hurt you but you will be useful for us. - he looks at the poor unfortunates with his eerie, dark eyes. - Get up, we have a lot of walk. -
Arina turns to the group of the eleventh family who are witnessing the scene.
Kaito: ... Boss, one word and they are fried.
Nozomi: No. Let's follow them.
Arashi: EH?
Arashi isn't the only one speechless for that decision: all the five boys have turned to her, puzzled.
Nozomi: It's a good opportunity.
Cloud: Ah ah, I see.
Arina sighs, turning back to the dangerous men.
Arina: Uhm ... so, we will meddle a bit in the lives of these people ...
