SailorStar9: This is the start of another new fic. I blame Angel of Courage for my current obsession. (Sighs) Guys and girls, will it kill you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Basic Summary: AU. What if the Inner Senshi's powers awoke prematurely? What if the 9th Vongola had taken the four girls in and trained them to be an elite Special Assassination and Tactical Squad to replace the Varia after Xanxus' coup d'etat? What if Gokudera, Yamamoto, Sasagawa and Hibari knew the girls when they were younger?

Pairings: Gokudera/Minako, Yamamoto/Makoto, Sasagawa/Rei, Hibari/Ami

SailorStar9: And if you guys are wondering, yes, they are the same pairings in my Christmas fic. This takes place a bit at the end the Varia arc.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the pairings.

Prologue: Enter, the Vongola Female SATS

"Damn!" Gokudera cursed, his bombs at the ready. "Then we're have to do it our own."

Mukuro-sama? Chrome blinked when she received a mental message from Mukuro. Someone is coming?

Belphegor chuckled at a group of Varia appeared. "Nice timing. We've been waiting."

"Reporting: the entire Varia squad, except us, has been defeated." the team leader choked. "They were too strong! Four females with the power of elements are headed this way."

"Venus Love Me Chain!" a metal chain smacked into the Varia, knocking them to the ground.

"This is..." Chrome started as the four masked females entered the battered battlefield, alongside Lancia. "These girls were the ones Mukuro-sama kept talking about."

"They're..." Gokudera gaped.

"The SATS..." Mammon was stunned. "Why are the inferior SATS here?"

"What are they?" Belphegor wondered. "So, that's how it is." he grinned. "Then, let's get this over with." he tossed his knives at Tsuna.

"Hold on." Guardian Venus deflected the blades with her metal chain. "It's not going to work like that."

"I didn't think it'd turn out like this." Mammon noted. He was about to fly off when an orb of water imprisoned him.

"I won't let you escape." Guardian Mercury stood firm. "Even if you were my master."

"Hey," Guardian Mars stated, her flame bow at the ready. "Let's end this."

"I won't let you go." Guardian Jupiter formed two electric rings.

"10th!" Gokudera hurried over. "Are you injured?"

"Thank you." Tsuna smiled. "I'm fine."

"Then..." Gokudera turned to the enemy.

"Surrender." Guardian Venus advised. "You're outnumbered and outmatched."

"This is no good." Belphegor dropped his knives and raised his hands in defeat.

"Boss, looks like this is it." Mammon sighed.

"Useless trash." Xanxus muttered. "I'm going to send you all to Hell!" he swore.

"Xanxus-sama." one of the Cervello knelt before Xanxus. "We are disqualifying you and taking the Vongola Rings away."

"Just as you wanted..." Xanxus choked. "Are you happy that the prediction came true?"

"Excuse us, but this is neither our wish nor our prediction." the Cervello corrected. "It had been all been decided already, the very moment the SATS revealed themselves. You completed your function."

"That old coot..." Xanxus muttered.

"That old coot, as you call him," Guardian Venus retorted. "Hadn't been idle since your coup d'etat eight years ago."

"Good work, sir." Cervello praised when Xanxus passed out. "Now, we will end the Ring Conflict and announce the results." she declared. "Due to Xanxus-sama's disqualification, the winner of the Sky Ring Match is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Thus, the ones who will become the eventual successors of the Vongola will the Sawada Tsunayoshi and his six Guardians. In addition, with the instructions of the 9th, we pronounce the SATS as Sawada Tsunayoshi's Varia."

"Tsuna's..." Yamamoto gaped.

"Varia?" Gokudera echoed.

"Exactly what Cervello said." Guardian Mercury confirmed and the four knelt before Tsuna.

"In reality, the 9th had no illusions that Xanxus and his team won't take orders from you." Guardian Mars stated.

"That is why after the coup eight years ago, he took the four of us in and trained us to be your Varia." Guardian Jupiter explained.

"I and my sisters, 10th, are henceforth, at your command." Guardian Venus finished.

"Erm..." Tsuna blinked. "If it would be too much to ask, could the four of you remove your masks?"

Guardians Mercury, Mars and Jupiter looked over at Guardian Venus accusingly.

"Way to go, blondie!" Guardian Mars whacked Guardian Venus on the head. "Thanks for the slip-up!"

"And yet she makes such a good leader." Guardian Mercury sighed.

"I still say she chooses to be this clueless." Guardian Jupiter shook her head.

"Er, ladies?" Tsuna blinked.

With an unison sigh, the four girls unclasped their masks.

"It..." Gokudera gasped. "Mina?"

"Mako, is that..." Yamamoto stammered in shock.

"No way..." Sasagawa fell on his butt. "Rei?"

"10th!" Gokudera forgot his shock at seeing his childhood playmate when Tsuna fell unconscious.

"Don't worry." Guardian Mercury assured the gathered teens after she ran a diagnostic scan. "He's just passed out from exhaustion; just give him some time to rest."

"Thank goodness." Gokudera sighed in relief.

"Hey, Ames, where are you going?" Minako asked.

"Heading back." Ami replaced her mask as she walked off. "You three go play catch-up."

"Hibari, what the hell are you waiting for?" Minako urged.

"You can still catch her if you're quick." Makoto offered.

"Men." Rei shook her head when Hibari took off.

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
