Prologue: Castle Hibarin

Author's Note: Just a refresher on what happens in the actual Monster Tamer Tsuna…

"Tsuna's party finally made it to Castle Hibarin, but they were instantly wiped out by Blood-Sucking Hibarin, except for Yamamoto's brain, Takeshi," narrated Elder Rebo, a wizard clad in star-specked, dark blue robes. He wore large pointy hat with almost indecipherable orange eyes on it, and he was holding a long wooden staff.

"This is really bad, isn't it?" Takeshi had asked, still somehow merry.

Confused, Blood-Sucking Hibarin inquired, "What are you? You don't seem to be worried about your predicament."

The little brain seemed to ignore the vampire, reaching in Rebo's robes and saying, "I remember the wizard dude said something about… There it is! Mon-Mon Candy!"

"Mon-Mon Candy is candy containing the sealed power of monsters," said Elder Rebo. How speaking could be achieved while Elder Rebo was unconscious, nobody knows.

"I just have to feed this to Tsuna," Takeshi the Brain said, placing one candy in the unconscious spiky-haired brunet's mouth. Tsuna bit it, along with…

"He ate my hand too!" Takeshi stated, laughing

Immediately, a bright orange flame ignited upon Tsuna's head, and his fists held Sky-element flames. "Hyper mode engaged! Get ready, Hibarin!" he said, flying towards said vampire.

Jumping to meet Monster Tamer Tsuna, Hibarin said, "I won't lose."

They managed to punch each other's faces…

"It appeared as though they were evenly matched," said Elder Rebo, still unconscious, still narrating. "But!"

At that moment Tsuna's head sort of opened and Tsuna's brain, Sawada, came out, saying "There's still more to come!" Abandoning the now-unconcious body, Sawada – in Hyper Dying Will Mode – flew to Blood-Sucking Hibarin and punched him with his small but… erm… brainy… hands.

"No way…" the vampire Hibarin managed to say, flying backwards and crashing into the wall.

Laughing, Yamamoto's brain rejoiced, "Another brain, just like me!"

"It appears that after eating the zombie hand, he turned into a zombie." The voice was Elder Rebo, who was flying – or maybe "riding" would be a better term – his staff. So he actually was conscious after all.

"No way!" said Tsuna, staring up at his brain. Somehow Sawada was dismayed too.

As Tsuna's party exited Castle Hibarin, they praised the Monster Tamer.

"That was fun!" Lambo the (Annoying?) Lightning Bolt stated.

"You did it!" Yamamoto, the Zombie, was, as always, merry.

"That's our boss!" Gokudera the Werecat was overjoyed.

Modestly, Tsuna replied, "It's only because everybody helped."

"I didn't do anything!" said the automaton, Ryohei. Which was true.

Elder Rebo followed behind, riding on his staff. "And so, Tsuna slayed Hibarin and brought peace to the village. However…"

Blood-Sucking Hibarin rose from lying on his glamorous red carpet inside his now-otherwise-empty Castle Hibarin. "I'll pay you back a hundred times over."

"Tsuna's battle will still continue," the great Elder Rebo prophesized. "Maybe…"
