So I apologize to all Black Fire fans, my muse took that story's plot bunny hostage and refused to release it until I wrote this down. I plan to continue both stories. Also, this story is probably going to be the reverse-harem story I promised to all those who requested it on my last story. Also, this is a story about Fem!Sky!Harry, and her guardians. If you don't like any of these things, then don't read.

Hope you Enjoy this new story. :)

" There's a fire starting in my heart, Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark, Finally, I can see you crystal clear, Go ahead and sell me out, and I'll lay your ship bare. See how I'll leave with every piece of you, Don't underestimate the things that I will do. There's a fire starting in my heart, Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark.

... Throw your soul through every open door. Count your blessings to find what you look for. Turn my sorrow into treasure gold. You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow." - Rolling in the Deep Adele


Keys clicked rapidly and a bunch of scientists hovered around a large floor-to-ceiling tube filled with viscous green liquid. Inside the liquid floated a young girl attached to various wires and tubes, along with a face mask fitted over her mouth and nose. Different colored liquids flowed through the tubes, some in various shades of blue and levels of viscosity. Other liquids were purple, red, or even pink. Some of the liquids glowed, others seemed to reflect the light. Her eyes were closed, and the liquid in the tank made hair and skin look varying shades of green. For a moment the girls eyelids cracked open, and vibrant, glowing green irises peeked out between the openings. One of the scientists, a distinguished looking man with steel grey and black streaked hair gave a sharp command to the man at the computer. The man typed out a quick sequence and hit the enter key. A purple liquid oozed up out of a tank set in the wall behind the tube and then down a long clear tube and into the girls neck. Her eyes flashed a single time, the green glow increasing in power and then slid shut once again as the purple oozing goo put her back to sleep.

"That was a close one." The scientist on the right commented with a frown.

"How does she keep burning through the anesthesia?!" Demanded the scientist on the left, tugging at his hair. "We've tested her blood, her DNA, even tried psychic testing. Nothing! We've pumped five times the lethal dose into her! Not only is she still alive, but she's burning through it like a forest fire through gasoline soaked toothpicks!" The man continued.

"Enough. We will continue testing her until we figure out why she is running through the anesthesia so quickly. Obviously we will have to come up with new tests. Caspari, set up a program to allow you to access everything from your tablet. We have a meeting with the Director." The older man with the gray and black hair ordered from his place in the middle.

"Yes, Sir." the scientist at the keyboard replied, tapping in a new sequence and then unplugging his tablet from the USB cord. The four men left the room, none of them looking back. Consequently, not one of them saw the green eyes open again once more. Their glow did not intensify this time, as the girl saw no one in the room. Instead she took a few moments to try and get her hazy brain to work.

"No one here..." She thought. "But they know when I...use power...only one chance..." She thought hazily. "Won't make it on my own...too sleepy. Need help..." She concluded, and on that thought her eyes suddenly blazed so brightly it lit the entire room. "Help! Please help me!" She thought desperately, and six blazing beams of orange fire leapt from her heart and shot away through the walls. Suddenly exhausted, the girls eyes slipped shut as more ooze fed into her neck from the tube.


Elsewhere around the world, almost simultaneously, five individuals were suddenly engulfed by orange flames from below. In Italy a tall slim man in a suit and fedora burst into flames in front of his former student and his allies. In China a man in red paused just after twisting a neck past the breaking point. On a motor-powered island in the middle of the sea a man with a hawk burst into orange flames in front of his fiancee. In America an audience cheered as a purple-suited man on a motorcycle burst into orange flames in the middle of his jump. Only for the flames to extinguish before the man hit the ground, leaving no damage behind. A person in a hooded cloak sat at a desk in a building in Italy, sipping strawberry milk as they pursued papers before suddenly bursting into orange flames. Their boss, who had sat at his own desk with his feet up, jumped to his feet and raised his gun. The hooded person leaned slightly to the side as a bullet whipped past their head. "We will be taking some personal time, Boss." They informed their Boss before turning and leaving the building. Their Boss, followed by the rest of his circle, followed on the cloaked persons' heals as they ran towards the main mansion.

The last streak of orange flame leapt up from the earth it had been trapped in and went streaking away from the planet into the sky, and seemed to become less and less tangible as it went until there was nothing left.


Tsunayoshi Sawada, the Tenth Boss of Vongola, was giving the specifics of a hit he wanted his former mentor to take care of when his former tutor burst into flames. He immediately leaped to his feet, spreading his flames out as far as he could to see what Sky had dared to try to attack the Worlds Greatest Hitman, one of the strongest seven, on Vongola territory. His senses came back empty of unknowns, though he did sense many Vongola people tense and rush to their "battle stations" at Tsunayoshi's angry searching flames. Those of the Tenth's guardians who were nearby burst into the office almost at the same time. His Cloud guardian, Kyoya Hibari, leapt up and in through the second story window. Takeshi Yamamoto, Tsuna's rain guardian, rain through the doorway just behind Squalo Superbi, who was following both Xanxus and Mammon. Xanxus other guardians were right behind. Out of a vent in the ceiling dropped the fifteen year old Lambo, Tsunayoshi's Lightning Guardian. All of this happened in a matter of minutes. The fire around Reborn began to slowly wane as he met Tsunayoshi's eyes.

"I'm going to have to turn that hit down, this time. It seems something personal has come up." Reborn informed the Vongola Tenth, hat tilting down to cover his eyes.

"You, too?" Mammon asked Reborn as the flames surrounding both of them finally winked out of the visible range.

"Yes." Reborn agreed.

"That means the others probably are as well." Mammon mused thoughtfully. Then their own indigo Mist flames flared up and floated out of sight. Only a second later five indigo ovals of fire deposited Colonello, Skull, Fon, Lal Mirch, and Verde before Reborn and Mammon.

"Which of you two got the flames?" Reborn demanded of Colonello and Lal Mirch. The question stopped the other Ex-Arcobaleno complaining about being transported instantaneously without warning.

"I did, Kora." Colonello growled. "I guess that means all of us except Lal?" Fon inquired calmly.

"So it would seem." Reborn replied. "Anyone know who it is?" he added grumpily. The other Ex-Arcobaleno shook their heads or otherwise answered in the negative.

"I have not experienced these flames you speak of." Verde interrupted, irritated he did not know what the others were talking about. The slight narrowing of his eyes was the only sign of Reborn's surprise. Neither man was able to say anything, however, as the Vongola Tenth spoke up.

"Reborn, who are you talking about? Vongola can help, if you have a problem." Tsunayoshi sighed, wishing once more that his old friend didn't tend to forget he could ask for help. Reborn considered his previous student for several moments, then looked to his comrades. After the other Ex-Arcobaleno all silently signaled their permission, Reborn turned back to Tsunayoshi.

"This may involve another Famiglia, and we have no way of knowing if they are a friend or foe of Vongola." Reborn warned, but Tsunayoshi waved the words off. With a sigh, Reborn finally relented. "It would seem, Tsunayoshi, that most of the Ex-Arcobaleno now have a bonded Sky. And we have no idea who they are. We all burst into orange flames as the bond was made. I don't know about the others, but I heard a call for help from our Sky, also." Hat tilted down over his eyes once more as Reborn brooded over his new and missing Sky.

"I have a plane parked in the hanger out back. I can have the plane ready in ten minutes. I also have a full three captain squad or one of you can pilot it, if you prefer." Tsunayoshi Sawada of Vongola replied after a few minutes of wide-eyed incredulousness. It seemed even with all the craziness of Vongola, some things could still take him by surprise. Reborn resisted the urge to shoot the man, as Tsunayoshi was being helpful, but it was a close thing.

"I will pilot." Reborn stated flatly. Tsunayoshi nodded.

"Alright. Everyone, gear up and assemble teams one and ten." Tsunayoshi ordered as he turned to his own guardians. His three present guardians immediately departed, and Tsunayoshi turned to Xanxus. "I assume you want to come to help out Mammon? I must admit, I was a bit confused. I thought Mammon was bonded to you...?" He wondered. Xanxus nodded tersely to the first bit.

"It was a contractual position only. Mammon was to take the place of my guardian until I found someone I could bond with, or they found a Sky of their own." Xanxus conceded, now that it was necessary to explain. Tsunayoshi nodded, but silently wondered if others did this or if any of Xanxus' other guardians were 'contract only'.

"Shark-trash, have at least three squads on that plane in ten minutes. I all the lightnings, infiltration specialists, tech specialists, Mists, and Suns we can send without leaving less than a skeleton crew." Xanxus barked at his rain guardian. Then he turned to his Sun. "Lussuria. Get all the medial equipment and supplies packed into that plane as you can assemble and fit in the next ten minutes, trash." Xanxus snarled. Lussuria smiled so brightly it looked like twinkles appeared around him.

"Yes, Boss!" Lussuria chirruped before spinning in place and then practically transporting to the Varia medical ward. As Xanxus was giving order to his people, Tsunayoshi was suiting up in one of his specialized battle suits, and tossing one at Xanxus. They were a recent invention by Vongola R&D, and if he didn't field test the suit when the opportunity arose, he'd never hear the end of it.

A mere ten minutes later all of the people who could fit on the jet with the Ex-Arcobaleno and the extra supplies Xanxus demanded, took off into the sky. Reborn, at the controls and wearing his pilots uniform, circled around so the nose of the plane pointed North-West. The other Arcobaleno settled in at different points of the plane, two on the right and left and one in back. They each had a headset on which they used to talk to Reborn.

"Why are you spread out in like that? Don't you want to be up front with Reborn?" Lambo asked Skull curiously. Skull, being the person at the tail end of the plane, smiled cheerfully at the fifteen year old, but Lambo noticed the smile didn't reach the man's eyes.

"We are spread out so each of us can tell Reborn if we feel a change in direction. We have no idea where our Sky is, but we all feel a pull towards their location. So if one of us suddenly senses the pull is greater towards the right, or from behind, then we can let Reborn know and he can change our course." Skull explained, his eyes locked on the door to the pilots cabin. Mostly the group sat in silence as they waited tensely for something to happen. A long, grueling hour later Reborn took the plane into a slow circling motion.

"It seems we have found where our Sky is." Mammon informed those without headsets. Tsunayoshi and Xanxus immediately stood and went to join Reborn up front. Reborn, not finding any airstrips nearby, used the headset to talk to Mammon.

"Viper, please conjure an airstrip for us to land on just behind that nearby forest. Continue shielding the plane from sight, also." Reborn ordered tersely. Mammon considered fining Reborn, both for forgetting their name and their services. They stayed silent, however, when they remembered that this was for their Sky. They would wait to see what their Sky was like before they decided whether to charge for their services or not. Mammon allowed their flames to flow down to the ground, where the flames formed solid illusions of a very long runway. The flames then surrounded the field and hid it from everyone except those in the plane. As the plane landed, everyone grabbed whatever equipment they thought they might need. Only Reborn, with his shape-changing chameleon Leon, had no need to gather supplies. Once the plane was fully on the ground and settled into a 'sleep' mode, reborn quickly changed into infiltration gear that matched the other Ex-Arcobaleno. Even Verde had been convinced to don the gear. It probably would have been harder, had he not developed the Optical Camouflage Suits himself. Then Verde, who had been working hard the entire flight, handed out new Optical Camouflage Suits to the other members of the group coming with them. Half of the group would be guarding their plane and the path back to it. The other half, about 17 people, followed the Ex-Arcobaleno to a building on the other side of the forest.

They set a perimeter just inside the forest, hidden from view despite the outfits that let them remain invisible. Then Mammon used their flames to make "ghost" illusions of themselves that walked up to the building and right into it. About half an hour later Mammon cursed. The others all tensed and looked to where Mammon's voice came from.

"Hidden underground labs." Mammon snarled, and the others were shocked to hear the emotion in the Mist's voice. Beside Mammon, Tsunayoshi shuddered and thanked his lucky stars that he'd sent Chrome and Mukuro out on missions before this incident. "Third floor under has a tunnel that connects to the sewers. There are six floors underground, and four above." Mammon added, voice just barely out of the range of growling. "We'll have to go in to find out where our Sky actually is, but they're probably in the secret labs underground." Mammon declared.

"Agreed." Reborn confirmed "Might as well start with the tunnel entrance. If our Sky is higher than that, it will probably be easier to go up than to access the hidden labs from street level." At his words, Verde turned on the tracking system in the visors that let them all see eachother.

"Why didn't you turn that on earlier?" Skull complained to Verde, rubbing his shoulder where he'd run into just about everyone else. Verde, and pretty much everyone else, ignored Skull's complaint.

"It would be better to send one team below and one above. There may be information we need up above, even if our Sky is not there." Mammon pointed out.

"Yes, but who wants to go up top when we know our Sky is probably down below?" Reborn retorted.

"Send in my reconnaissance and infiltration teams. They aren't looking for their Sky, and the trash won't miss something important." Xanxus offered gruffly. Fon didn't hesitate.

"Excellent, we'll leave above ground to those teams, then. We'll probably want more people below ground. Secret labs tend to be ridiculously well-guarded." Fon informed the others.

"Right. So everyone not in those teams will come with us, except for one of the information gathering teams. There might be information down below as well. Let's go." Reborn ordered. Reborn and Colonello took up positions at the front, followed by Xanxus and Tsunayoshi, and then all the others. Once they got to the sewer exit by a stream at the forests edge, the group split in two. The first group, lead by Lussuria, went in the front and back doors silently. The second, still lead by Reborn and Colonello, went through the sewer grate once Fon had dissolved the bars. Thankfully the pipes were more than tall enough for full-grown men to stand, and completely dried up. They probably could have opened the grate somehow instead of dissolving it, Reborn reflected, but that would have taken precious time to figure out. Their Sky had not contacted them a second time. All of the newly bonded Guardians felt that the precious seconds slipping by could be the Sky's last. They had to prevent that.

"We have to." Reborn thought, determination stronger than he'd ever felt flowing through him. His fellow guardians resolve matched his, and their flames flared around them and brightened the tunnel. Xanxus snorted disdainfully and the Ex-Arcobaleno sheepishly pulled in their flames so they couldn't give away their position. It was one thing to flare invisible flames, it was another thing entirely to allow your flames into the visible spectrum when sneaking into secret labs. Besides, they didn't know if they were facing other flame users or not. If there were other flame users inside, they didn't want to forewarn their adversaries.

After a good twelve minute walk, they came to a sealed cast-iron door. It looked like it only opened from the inside, so Fon once again stepped up and dissolved the door in front of them. He was careful to use the smallest amount of flames he could so that hopefully he would not be sensed. Mammon then used their own flames to construct a solid illusion of the door that used to be there. With one special enhancement: only Mammon and the people in their group could get through the door. As at the plane and the sewer grate, two of their party split off on either side of the doorway to secure their retreat. On the other side of the doorway was a small room that led to another door like the first.

"Probably a security zone, just in case." Colonello thought, noting the cameras above. Thankfully the Optical Camouflage Suits covered infrared and other signals and not just vision. They wouldn't have to worry about any kind of electronic sensor or recording device picking up on their presence. They continued through the next door same as the first. On the other side of the second door they came to a T-intersection with a hallway. With hand signals they made a quick plan. Reborn went to the left and Colonello went to the right. Skull and Mammon went with Colonello while Tsunayoshi, Xanxus, and Xanxus' guardians went with Reborn. The other members of the party split themselves into even out the rest of the numbers between the two parties. Reborn had taken all of fifteen steps before he turned back and rejoined with Colonello. They continued in silence, grateful they'd yet to run into any guards. They came to a corner, where the hallway turned to the left. They checked the door on the right and found medical supplies. With a grim sense of satisfaction, Mammon sent their flames into the room and sent all of the supplies to their office in the old Arcobaleno Mansion. While Mammon dealt with the supplies room, Colonello checked the door directly in front of them. He came back out and sent the information gathering teams into the room.

"Some sort of lab. No specimens, but lots of computers and equipment." Colonello reported to the others through the mic in his helmet. The rest of the group left a couple of guards to play lookout for those in the lab and then turned left down the hallway. Almost immediately they found a door on the left. The pulling feeling drew them to the door strongly, so Reborn and Colonello stood on either side of the doorway while Skull kicked the door in. No one seemed to be inside, and all of the fighters felt the hair stand up on the back of their neck.

"I could be wrong...but this seems to easy..." Skull muttered. Reborn nodded tersely, but declined to comment as he entered the room. All of his fellow new guardians: Skull, Fon, Colonello, and Viper followed him into the room along with Xanxus, Tsunayoshi, and Verde. For a moment the group stared at the girl floating in the green liquid. The new guardians felt their tempers soar through the roof, and even Mammon desired to put a fist or foot through the glass surrounding their Sky. It could be no one else, for their bond drew them towards her desperately. Verde sat himself at the computer next to the tube and quickly started typing.

"It would probably be a good idea for you to make an illusion of the room without us in it, but your Sky as she was when we entered." Verde suggested mildly as he typed. Mammon quickly did as he suggested. At length Verde hit enter. "There, you can let go of the illusions now, I've set up a loop on all cameras on this floor." Verde announced as he went through all the folders and files on the computer. He then pressed a button on his watch and held it facing the computer. A holographic picture of a file folder faded into sight between the computer and Verde's watch. The classic "file transfer" image began to play as he uploaded a copy of everything from the computer to his watch. Once that was finished, he opened a few programs and then chuckled a little bit.

"Let's dance, amateurs." Verde grinned as he placed a couple of devices on the mainframe of the computer. A soft chime sounded. "Alas, no worthy partners at this party. I have locked out other users. I am now beginning the disconnection and release sequence. Be ready in case they notice they cannot access the equipment. I looped the expected readings, so we shouldn't run into trouble. But there is a point zero-zero-zero-zero-six percent chance I have underestimated them." Verde stated as he hit the last enter. Slowly mechanical arms with pincers on the end came from the back of the tube and rose to hold up the girl under her shoulders. Another pincer, bigger than the others and sideways, came forward and wrapped around her waist. Then the green liquid began to drain from the bottom. The liquid vanished extremely quickly, and the girl was left suspended only by the metal holding her. Next the liquids in the clear tubes flowed backwards into the tanks they came from. The needles where withdrawn, and everyone except Verde felt sick when they saw the size and number of needles that had been clustered around the base of her neck and skull. Silently many of them wondered if the Sky would be paralyzed. All it would have taken was one needle inserted slightly wrong...her new guardians forced their minds to redirect to the problems at hand. They would deal with possible paralysis if it became an issue.

Slowly the glass tube slid down into the floor. Skull stepped forward before anyone else thought to move, and reached up slightly to gently untangle the sky from the mask over half her face. He then gently lifted her out of the metal grips holding her. It was as he shifted his new Sky to better cradle her in his arms that he noticed the one thing she was wearing.

"Verde, there's some sort of bracelet on her wrist. It seems to be emitting some sort of signal..." Skull observed.

"Yes, the signal is currently being blocked, but it would be best if Fon dissolved it. According to the notes, the bracelet is adamantium. We will be unable to remove or otherwise break it without storm flames." Verde replied absently, still working on transferring all files. Fon gently slid a hand under his Sky's wrist, the Optical suit retracting once more so he could use his bare hand to wield his destructive flames. The storm flames had just started eating at the bracelet when pale eyelids started to slide open. Glowing emerald-green eyes looked at Fon for a moment before the head turned slightly with a whimper so she could look at Skull.

"Who...?" She murmured, and her voice was hoarse. It hurt just listening to her voice, it sounded like her throat was probably really sore.

"Your guardians. We came in reply to your call. We're here to rescue you." Skull told her gravely as his visor slid back so she could at least see his face.

"Can we get her suited up, or does she require treatment?" Reborn asked Verde tersely.

"There's nothing we can do about those liquids here. We'll need to get her somewhere safe first." Verde replied dismissively. Colonello's molars ground together so hard they creaked as he held back the angry torrent he wanted to spew at the scientist. Instead he took out the spare suit he'd been carrying and slipped it on over his Sky's naked form. He felt his fury ratchet higher. How dare they leave his Sky bare for all the world to see! He could tell from the stilted movements of the usually smooth friends that he wasn't the only one furious at the state of their Sky. The girl didn't say anything to them while they got her in the suit, looking dazed and disoriented. As Colonello moved to close the visor, the girl looked up and met Skull's eyes once more. Her gaze sharpened intensely then.

"Save the others." She ordered, and Skull couldn't help but agree.

"I understand." He assured her. She smiled at him then, and he was certain he wasn't the only one whose breath caught at the beauty of that smile.

"Thank you." She murmured as her gaze went unfocused once more and then her eyelids slipped shut. Xanxus cursed from beside them as the girl went limp in Skulls arms once more. Colonello quickly snapped her visor shut.

"What now, trash?" Xanxus demanded.

"Now we make sure there aren't any other... "Experiments" … here. If there are, we liberate them." Reborn replied steadily, stealing himself.

"Should get your Sky to safety first." Squalo objected. Reborn growled under his breath.

"I had planned on it, whelp. Mammon, Skull. Take our Sky back to the plane. Leave the rest of this place to us." Reborn ordered darkly.

"Right." Skull agreed, turning quickly and jogging from the room with Mammon on his heels. Verde finally finished his file transfer just as the information team finished sweeping the rest of the floor.

"No other prisoners on this level, Boss." Levi reported, having stayed with the information team for security. "Elevator and stairway down the hall and to the left." He added helpfully. Reborn amused himself by imagining a tail wagging behind the lightning before turning to stare grimly down the hallway. They were a long way from done. Just as grimly he marched forward, the others on his heels. Time to ransack and then it was time to burn.


I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please leave a comment, let me know if you want more of this story. Also, I'm playing with the idea of making this a tri-crossover, because I just didn't like anyone from either world for Fem!Harry's Lightning Guardian this time (which is why they've yet to show up). Let me know what you think about that, please! I'm toying with the idea of Naruto, or possibly Wolverine. Or maybe both. ^_^ Or maybe a second sun guardian (Naruto), and Wolverine lightning guardian. So many wonderful possibilities...:)

Until next time:
