Most Hitman Reborn fanfictions are about a fan of KHR dying and being reborn, I'm pretty sure the pun is very much intended, into the KHR world. This story does have one of those in here, me, so if you're a fan of that sort of thing don't worry it's here. But the story isn't about me, this is a story about a team, one of magical girls. Now I know what you're thinking magical girls? In KHR? That's crazy! But it's also true. And I've compiled together their story, which actually started about two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago an Irish family, the McCoys found this shiny pretty black box with the face of a gargoyle etched into the lid, a sign that this box might not be good news. The first sign should have been the fact that the box had been found in an abandoned shipwreck and had been the only thing untouched.
Like idiots the McCoys took the box back to their boss who opened it. Inside were seven rings. Now if you know KHR you know that rings equal well not necessarily a good thing, but an important thing. Unfortunately, these rings aren't really on the same alignment as the Vongola rings, not that the McCoys knew that. They couldn't exactly figure out what was up with them, all they knew was each ring held the visage of a different beast of myth which was what led to their label the Beast Rings.
Everything was fine until the rings were stolen. A week after they were stolen the first, the Gorgon ring was found, by Jaiden McMaten.
Jaiden's father Charles McMaten, a reputable psychologist from Chicago took Jaiden from her mother, Makoto. She was raised by her nanny, Africa, in Chicago, despite her mother's protests. However, Makoto's complaints did not go unheard, Jaiden spent every summer with her mother until she reached middle school age. That was when Charles decided that all the back and forth was bad for Jaiden's mental health and so he packed up Jaiden, Africa, and himself and moved them to Namimori where Makoto lived. He took a job as a school psychologist, which should have been oddly suspicious, but Jaiden was too busy being pissed to bother being suspicious. She hadn't wanted to move. Sure, she loved her summers in Namimori, but she didn't want to live there. She'd stick out like a sour thumb and be left unable to play the dumb tourist card.
Jaiden stalked down random empty sidewalks, kicking rocks along the way. She was soon to discover that there weren't just rocks along her path. She kicked something and it made an odd sort of clinking when it landed back on the ground. Jaiden, the curious sort, went to check it out. It was a ring, a large gaudy silver thing with the image of Medusa molded onto one bend. Medusa's face was screwed up in an open mouth hiss, her eyes closed, and an orange jewel placed between her fangs, trust me I've seen the thing and it does Medusa justice it is one god ugly ring. However, at the time Jaiden had never seen anything like it.
Jaiden twisted the ring around in the light, wondering where it came from. It just seemed so strange, like it had fallen from the sky which didn't make any sense. Jaiden slipped the ring on her right ring finger, wondering if it would fit her, it didn't at first, being about two sizes too large, but it shrank around her finger causing Jaiden to yelp in surprise and pain. Don't tell her I told you that, she'd kick my ass.
Anyway, moving on, fire erupted from the gem in Medusa's mouth and soon consumed the ring. Jaiden didn't know what to do, she was frozen, another thing she probably doesn't want me telling you. The fire shot up Jaiden's arm, changing things as it went. The fire melted away Jaiden's tank top and jeans, replacing them with an orange strapless top and black scale pattern pants. Her sneakers turned to boots and a pair of dark sunglasses appeared in front of her eyes which had changed from her usual greenish brown hazel to red. Her hair had changed as well from unruly brown auburn curls to a long sheet of dark green that seemed to hiss with Jaiden's every move. Like I said this is a story about magical girls.
Jaiden's physical transformation wound down, but the fire still seemed to be making its way to her brain. The fire burned away Jaiden's conscious leaving behind its own wants and desires. Triniset it whispered into the void of Jaiden's mind.
How do I know this? Because every single one of us who picked up one of the seven Beast rings had this happen upon our first transformation. We've talked about it and some of us ignored it, I mean denial is the best medicine after all. Point is yeah, the Beast rings are after the Triniset, or are they really? Guess you'll have to stick around to find out 'cause I'm not spoiling anything at the very beginning and trust me Jaiden getting her ring really is just the beginning.
So, moving forward with evil possessed Jaiden. She moved around a bit as if she was trying to get used to her new body. She gave a twist of her wrist and a giant golden shield with Medusa's face in the center appeared attached to her forearm with leather straps. The Aegis, possessed Jaiden scowled, that was not a funny joke. She let her arm fall in such a way the shield straps dropped into her hand. She twisted her wrist again and blades popped out of the sides. Possessed Jaiden threw it, it whirled like a saw blade and easily cut through a tree in its path before returning to possessed Jaiden, she caught it by the straps. No, she didn't think it was funny, but it would be useful.
A tremor seemed to run through possessed Jaiden followed quickly by another fire, this one being drawn back into the ring rather than coming from it. Jaiden swayed as she returned to herself, no longer a magical girl or holding the shield. She wasn't sure what the hell had just happened, but she knew it had something to do with the damn Gorgon ring she'd stupidly slipped onto her finger. She tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't budge. Uh-oh.
So, there you go, the first bit of our story. We got some background and some unanswered questions. Be on the lookout for the next bit, it'll introduce some canon characters you're sure to recognize, but probably won't expect. See you soon.
