Alternative Reality II
Chapter 2: Counterpart
A new and powerful mafia family have overthrown the Vongola Family from its title as the strongest mafia family in the world. The Vongola was the strongest mafia family but that was not until they replaced their Decimo from Tsuname Sawada to Natsuyushi Sawada. The cause of their downfall was because of Nana's death that happened three years ago.
This new family was composed of different mafia families that were the enemies of Vongola from years ago since Primo's time. With Tsuname's beauty, strength, influence and charisma, she gathered all of them and created a united family which was now known as the Mascalzone Famiglia. The Mascalzone Family was consists of four families, namely the Fosco Family, Malvagio Family, Cattivo Family and Distruzione Family.
These four families were the top enemies of Vongola who wanted the Vongola to be destroyed just to get the title as "the strongest mafia family". They were also in conflict with each other even though they have the same goal. None of them have been successful on defeating the Vongola, but that was not until Tsuname appeared in their life.
Tsuname decided to help the four families in bringing down the Vongola whom she hated so much. In exchange for her help, they must give her the leadership. The boss of each family who were overwhelmed by her beauty, power, influence and charisma had agreed on her demand. As a result, Tsuname Sawada became the Mascalzone Primo. With her knowledge and leadership skills, she brought the downfall of Vongola in her hands within a year after Nana's death that made the Mascalzone Family the strongest and most feared mafia family in the world but it wasn't enough. There were still survivors and all of them were determined in bringing the Vongola back to power.
As long as she lives, she won't let that happen. She'll do everything just too completely annihilate the Vongola even if she has to throw the entire world into chaos and catastrophe. She swore that in her mother's grave. Because of those survivors, she needed to gain more power. Her greed for power and hate for her own family made her want to create a new world so that no one will hurt her any longer.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Tsuname was in the woods standing in front of a grave. She has this painful expression on her face. She looked as if like she wanted to cry. Her cruelty and coldness disappeared on her face, only pain and loneliness remain.
"Don't worry, Mom... I promise that I will get my revenge. They will pay for what they have done to you, to both of us. I will create a new world where you and I could live peacefully. I'm sure that there is some world out there where you still live." Tsuname swore as a small tear fell on her cheek.
The man who was wearing a black cloak had suddenly appeared behind Tsuname and bowed. "It's time for you to go, Lady Tsuname."
Tsuname wiped her tears and turned around. The cruelty and coldness were back on her entire being when she faced her subordinate.
"Is that so? Why... Thank you... I can't wait to get to Japan... Hee-hee! They must have missed me... hahaha...!" Tsuname said in her cold-sweet tone that made anyone who heard it shiver in fear.
The man straightened himself and led Tsuname to the black car that was waiting for them.
In the deep, dark woods, Tsuna had come face to face with a woman who looked exactly like their teacher.
"You-You're... Stella-sensei?" Tsuna stuttered when he saw the woman's face.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Tsunayoshi Sawada..." Stella greeted Tsuna in a formal tone.
Tsuna tilted his head to the side because of confusion. The way his teacher greeted him, it was as if like that was their first meeting. He also felt a sharp pain in his head that seemed familiar to him. His hyper intuition told him that pain was no ordinary pain in the head.
The Stella in this world has short, straight silver hair. Some of her hair was clipped by a blue clip while some of it was left hanging loose. Her eyes were crystal blue that could see right on a person's soul. She was wearing a blue dress and over it were her white cloak. Stella saw the confusion and curiosity in Tsuna's eyes.
"I am not the Stella that you know. I have summoned you in this world together with your guardians to ask for your help." Stella told Tsuna.
"Wait! Wait! What do you mean by "this world"?" Tsuna asked as the pain in his head was getting stronger.
"This world is not the world where you came from. This is the parallel world of your world..." (Stella)
"The parallel world... of my world?" (Tsuna)
"Yes... To be honest, you have travelled in a parallel world before but that world is just one of those parallel worlds that exist in the whole universe. There are thousands of parallel worlds. This world is just one of them."
"Wait! You said that I've travelled in a parallel world before... but when was that? I don't remember getting on a parallel world before."
"It's understandable if you don't remember. The "me" in your world had sealed your memories that made it as part of the forbidden history which humans shouldn't know about. Someday, if the world allows it... your memories might return by itself."
Tsuna had been silenced for a moment. He couldn't believe what Stella was saying to him. He had a hard time digesting all the information that was relayed to him. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves that were starting to panic.
"You said that my friends were also here... so where are they now?" Tsuna asked.
"They are in this world but I don't know the specific place where they have landed. I'm afraid that you have no other choice but to search for them." Stella answered.
Tsuna released a heavy sigh. He was separated with his friends and he has no clue on where to find them. Lady luck was really on his side, Lady BAD luck that is...
"Why did you summon me and my friends in this world?" (Tsuna)
Stella paused for a moment as she prepared herself from telling Tsuna their role in this world.
"I want you to stop someone. That person's actions are throwing this world into destruction. If that person succeeds, I doubt that this world and the other parallel worlds will remain intact."
"What? I... don't understand..." Tsuna said completely confused.
"You see, Tsuna... Each World has its own way of preserving itself. In your world, it uses the tri-ni-sette to preserve itself from destruction. The world where you have been dragged to before uses the world tree. On the other hand, this world used the Crystal Flames to save this world from destruction. If three or more worlds are on the brink of destruction or collide, the gateway to "Void" will open." (Stella)
"Um... what's the "Void"?" Tsuna asked curiously as he was sensing the big task that will be given to him and his friends.
"The "Void" is a place where time doesn't exist, not only that... It is a place where no one has live. That place was where the Goddess Azure sleeps..." Stella continued.
"Goddess Azure?" (Tsuna)
"She is the goddess who made the world, all of it... Unfortunately, she is getting weak. It won't be a matter of time before she dies."
"Wait! Isn't she a goddess? Why would she die?"
"Apparently, she is not like any of the celestial beings. Even though she is a goddess, she is not immortal but she has a very long life. Her lifespan is dependent on the world that she created, that is the payment for using the power of creation. It is like a curse. The more the worlds are thrown into disarray and filled with darkness, the shorter her life will become."
"Tch! What is this person's goal? Who is that person?" Tsuna replied as he clenched his fist.
Stella shook her head in response. "Unfortunately, I don't know what that person's goal is. Lastly, even if I wanted to tell you who that person is, I'm afraid I cannot do it. As a watcher, I am not allowed to interfere in the problems of the world. I have broken the oath of the watcher once when I summoned you and your friends in this world. I'm afraid I cannot do it again for my life will be in danger if that happens again."
"Alright... it seems like this is one heavy burden to all of us, huh? So how are we going to stop that person?" Tsuna scratched his head as he asked.
"Anything... Do anything to stop that person at all costs!"
Tsuna released a deep sigh. "Alright... as if I have any other choice, don't I? Besides, I still have to find my friends. By the way, do you have any place where I could spend the night?"
Stella smiled and nodded. "Yes, you could stay in my house for the night..."
Tsuna began to follow Stella to her house. He still can't believe on what happened but he had a feeling that something like this happened before. He shrugged and shook his head to clear his mind. Finding his friends was his first priority before doing what Stella told him to do.
As they went back to Stella's house, Stella had a serious expression on her face.
"What would you do, Tsuna? If you found out that the enemy in this world... is your own counterpart..."
As far as Lambo remembered, he was sleeping in his room together with I-pin and Fuuta. He didn't notice the bright light that engulfed his body as he slept. When he woke up, he was all by himself in the Sawada household that seemed abandoned for years.
Lambo felt that something was poking him everywhere in his body. He was sleeping peacefully until that stupid-poking had irritated him.
"Hey! Wake up! Broccoli Monster!" A little girl's voice said from the blackness.
The hundred-pokes continued until Lambo jolted upward with his eyes wide open. He was surprised to see a five-year-old kid dressed in a cow's clothing like him.
The little girl has short black hair that was tied in tails in both sides of her head. She was holding a stick of wood which happens to be the poking weapon against Lambo.
"GYAHAHAHA... I, LAMBI BOVINO, THE NEXT RULER OF THE BOVINO FAMILY, WILL BE IN-CHARGE OF WORLD DOMINATION! BOW DOWN TO ME AS A SIGN OF RESPECT! GYAHAHAHA...!" The girl-cow introduced herself as she showed a peace sign right on Lambo's face.
Lambo stood up with an irritated look on his face. "Whaaat? I, LAMBO BOVINO, AM THE NEXT RULER OF THE BOVINO FAMILY! I WILL RULE THE WORLD BEFORE YOU DO! AND DON'T COPY LAMBO-SAN'S CLOTHES!"
Lambi puffed her cheeks due to anger. She leaped off the table and ran towards the metallic door. Lambo was sleeping previously on top of the table with a pillow and blanket. He scurried out of the blanket and followed Lambi.
Before they could reach the door, the door opened and Yushi entered the room. He was happy to see Lambo completely awake. To his surprise, the two kids jumped over him which caused him to fell on the floor completely flat.
"SERVANT! TELL US WHO THE NEXT RULER OF THE BOVINO FAMILY IS?" The two brats screamed on his face.
Yushi covered his ears because of their loud voices. Even though their gender was different, their attitudes were still the same.
"Goodness! What will I do with THESE two kids? Just one of them is one BIG trouble enough!" Yushi thought. He was thinking on how to handle the kids since he is not that good when it comes to children.
He brought Lambo to their hidden base that was located underground so that he could ask him about the other guardians and this incident happened.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Mukuro was still being threatened under the girl's tonfa. He kept on staring on the girl's face that kind of resembled Hibari. The last thing he knew was that he was in the Vendicare Prison. The next thing after was that, he was on a bed being pinned down by a girl who looked like Hibari.
The girl has black hair that reached her shoulders. She was also wearing a black nightgown. She was about to go to sleep when suddenly, a bright light shone from the windows that had blinded her for a second. Seconds later, the moment she opened her eyes, a man was already lying on her bed which awakened her alertness.
Mukuro had called her Kyoya much to her surprise. She also found his face familiar. He resembled someone whom she knows a lot.
"Kyoya? Who is that? My name is Hibari Kyoka..." The girl said in a cold tone.
"Kufufufu... Very funny..." Mukuro laughed. He turned the tables by moving as quickly as he could.
Now, it was already Kyoka who was being pinned down by Mukuro. He hates to admit it but who would have thought that Hibari would be beautiful when turned into a woman.
Kyoka noticed the Vongola ring on Mukuro's finger. "That ring..."
Mukuro followed Kyoka's gaze. He was surprised to see the Mist Vongola Ring in his finger. The ring was with Chrome after all. He raised his hand to his eye level.
"That's strange... How did this ring get on my finger?" Mukuro asked particularly no one.
"I thought your face seems familiar... Just as I thought, you are that person's counterpart." Kyoka suddenly spoke.
"That person's counterpart?" Mukuro asked as he released Kyoka and sat on the bed.
Kyoka went to the telephone beside her bed and dialled some numbers. The phone on the other side rang. As she waited for someone to answer, she told him something that caught Mukuro off guard.
"Whoever you are... Let me just tell you, that this is not the world where you came from..."
"Oya... WHAT?"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
At first, Hibari was sleeping in the room of the disciplinary committee. He was awakened by a slight creaking of noise. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find himself somewhere unfamiliar. Worst, he was being pinned down by a woman who resembled Mukuro a lot. The shock was too much that he wasn't able to move for how many seconds.
The girl was on her way back to Kokuyo Park after partying all night. A bright light that came from her room caught her attention. She ran towards her room to check on what happened. The moment she opened the door to her room, she was surprised to see a man sleeping on the sofa. The man was so hot that she can't stop herself from going near him.
Hibari grabbed the woman's shoulder and shoved her away from him. He saw the triumphant smirk on the girl's face when she saw him glare at her. Even though the girl was beautiful, he was kind of irritated that she resembled a certain pineapple head.
The girl had long, straight, navy hair that reached her mid-back and mismatched eyes. The style of pineapple hair can't be missed on top of her head. She was wearing the girl's uniform of Kokuyo High except that her blouse was sleeveless.
Hibari continued to stare at the girl. He can't stop his curiosity from getting to him. "Herbivore, who are you?"
The girl felt something cold on her shoulder. She looked at the hands that held her in place. She was completely surprised to see the Cloud Vongola Ring on Hibari's finger.
"Oya... Oya... it's been a long time since I've last seen that ring..." The girl said as she moved away from Hibari and ignored his question.
She took her cell phone from her pocket and typed something.
Hibari brought out his tonfas. He decided to threaten the girl for ignoring him. "Answer me, herbivore... or I'll bite you to death!"
The girl closed her phone after sending her message. She faced one angry Hibari and smirked.
"I am Mikuro Rokudo... and please bite me to death... I would love to see you try." Mikuro winked at Hibari that made him lower down his tonfas.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Ryohei was training inside his room like he usually does until the bright light suddenly came and engulfed him. After a few seconds, the light disappeared and he was still in his room. He was surprised that his punching bag disappeared. Not only his punching bag, but all of his boxing related things had disappeared. The door in his room was opened suddenly by a woman who kind of resembled him.
The girl has waist-length, straight, white hair that was tied in a ponytail while some of her hair was left on the sides of her face. She was wearing a sleeveless, sky blue shirt and black shorts. She was so surprised to see a man in her room, top it off; he looked exactly like her except that he is a man. She attacked him quickly when she sensed his strength. All she knew was that he is one powerful fighter and she won't let that chance slip.
Their fight caused damage everywhere as they transferred from one place to another until they reached outside the house.
Yoko was on his way back home from the convenience store. He was surprised to see his sister fighting someone that resembled her. He tried to stop the fight but his actions were just futile.
As their fists clashed with each other, the girl saw the Sun Vongola Ring on Ryohei's hand.
"EXTREME! That ring! It can't be..." The girl exclaimed in surprise.
Ryohei backtracked a little. "Huh? What are you saying to the EXTREME?"
The girl grabbed Ryohei's wrist and dragged him inside the house.
"He-Hey! Wait! Who are you? What are you doing to the EXTREME?" Ryohei asked as he did his best not to trip on the ground.
Yoko followed his sister quickly inside the house.
The girl looked at Ryohei after dragging him inside the house. "I'm Ryomei Sasagawa! I am the "you" of this world!"
"WHAT? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN TO THE EXTREME?" Ryohei screamed at the top of his lungs as he gripped his hair.
Ryomei sighed at Ryohei's action. She's not good at explaining things. It's better if she will bring him to their hideout but the question was how. Going to their hidden base without being detected by the forces of the Mascalzone won't be easy.
She looked at her little brother and said. "Yoko, do me a favour and call Yushi..."
Yoko nodded and did the call.
Ryohei stared at the guy that resembled Kyoko. "This is getting strange to the EXTREME!"
"Don't worry to the EXTREME! We will explain everything to you when we gathered everyone."
Ryohei met Ryomei's gaze and nodded. "Alright..."
Yoko sweatdropped at Ryomei and Ryohei's conversation. Their house would collapse because of their loud voices.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Gokudera was on his way back to his apartment eating some rice balls that he bought in the convenience store. As he finished the last rice ball, a bright light suddenly came which blinded him for a couple of seconds. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a girl wearing some red and white kimono that was sitting in front of him. He was even more surprised to find himself inside a house and not in some sidewalk.
The girl was doing the Japanese sit as she meditates. When she opened her eyes after meditating, she was surprised to see a silver haired man standing in front of her. Being a carefree girl that she is, all she did was greet.
Gokudera scratched the back of his head. The girl resembled Yamamoto but he knew that she wasn't him. "I mean... Who are you? And where am I?"
The girl giggled at Gokudera's shy expression. "Me? I'm Takemi Yamamoto and you are in my house. Hahaha..."
"Great! Not only she resembled the baseball freak... they almost have the same name!" Gokudera thought.
Takemi noticed the Storm Vongola Ring on Gokudera's hand when he scratched his head. She stood up and took Gokudera's hand. She inspected to ring to see if it was the real ring or not.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Gokudera asked Takemi. He reddened when he noticed their closeness.
Takemi transferred her hold on Gokudera's face. "You really do look like her... There is no doubt... You are her!"
"HHHUUUHHH?" Gokudera exclaimed as he was getting confused on what Takemi was saying.
Takemi lets go of Gokudera and went to her room to make a call. "They must know about this..."
Gokudera chased after Takemi. "Hey! Could you please explain what is going on?"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Yamamoto was in their dojo enhancing his sword techniques. A bright light that came outside caught his attention. He went out of the dojo and that's where everything began. The light engulfed him and the next thing he knew was that, he was already in the bathtub facing a naked woman that resembled Gokudera a lot except that she is a full-fledged woman.
The girl has a long, wavy, silver hair that reached her waist and creamy, white skin. She was about to take a bath. She checked the temperature of the water in the bathtub. When she was already satisfied with the temperature, she removed her towel that was wrapped on her body. The moment she turned around to get inside the bathtub, she was surprised to see a man inside it.
"Who... WHO ARE YOU?" The girl demanded an answer.
"Uh... I'm Yamamoto Takeshi!" Yamamoto answered abruptly. He doesn't know what other things to say in that given situation.
The girl inspected Yamamoto from head to foot. She noticed his resemblance with one of her friends. She cupped Yamamoto's face with both of her hands.
Yamamoto fought the temptations on NOT to look on the girl's assets as a sign of respect.
The girl continued to examine Yamamoto until her eyes landed on his hand. She saw the Rain Vongola Ring and her eyes widened in surprise. "The Ring!"
"Huh?" (Yamamoto)
"I must inform the others about this!" The girl stood quickly that made Yamamoto see EVERYTHING.
The girl took the towel which she hanged and wrapped it on her body. She looked at Yamamoto over her shoulder as she introduced herself. "By the way, my name's Hayako Gokudera... Please dry yourself... I still have something to do."
Hayako left the bathroom leaving Yamamoto having a major nosebleed because of what he had seen.
When the sun had risen, Stella gave Tsuna all the supplies he needed for his travels. Tsuna said his goodbye and left. He was determined to find his friends who were scattered around the world.
Meanwhile, Tsuname had finally arrived in Japan. She was wearing a black and white gothic Lolita dress, black hairband, white stockings, and black knee-high boots. Her hair reached her waist but the ends of her hair had been twirled.
The moment she stepped out of the plane, hundreds of her men, who were wearing suits, were waiting for her arrival. In front of those hundreds of people; four men, who were once the boss of their own family, stood and bowed proudly as they greeted Tsuname in high regard and respect. She looked at all of her men and smiled evilly.
"Now then... Let the Vongola Hunt BEGIN! Leave NO ONE alive! Ahahahaha...!" Tsuname ordered coldly to her men.
It didn't bother her at all that she just gave an order to annihilate her own family.
As the men screamed in determination and did their orders, Tsuname faced the cloaked man who happens to be her right hand.
"Hm... Shall we join the hunt? If luck is on my side, I might be able to meet the other "me". Hee-hee!" Tsuname smiled coldly sweet.
The man bowed respectfully. "As you wish... Lady Tsuname..."
"Hehehe... You can run, Yushi-kun... but you can't hide... I swear I'm going to wipe out all of Vongola regardless of whether you are a woman or a child! Ahahaha...!" Tsuname laughed evilly as she joined the hunt.
On the other hand, Giannini told Yushi that they have received a call from all of the Vongola Guardians telling them that they have found the Vongola Guardians that came from another world except for the Sky Guardian.
Yushi ordered Giannini to tell them to meet outside the Namimori Shrine. They will use the entrance that was in the forest near the Namimori Shrine to get inside their underground base. No matter what happens, they shouldn't let the enemies find out about this.
A video was sent to Giannini's computer informing them about Tsuname's arrival in Japan. It was the last work of their outside source that was soon killed by Tsuname ruthlessly without them knowing.
Yushi slammed his fist on the table. "Damn! She's finally here! We won't stand a chance if she finds us!"
Giannini looked at his boss nervously. "Boss..."
Yushi tried to calm his self. It was not right for a boss to lose his cool.
The Cavallone and Millefiore families fell just like the Vongola because of Tsuname's doing. The Shimon Family was so far away from Japan. Even if they get help from the Shimon, it won't still be enough compared to Tsuname's forces. The Varia, CEDEF, Arcobalenos, his grandfather and his parents had gone missing. He doesn't know if they were still alive or not.
Yushi took a deep breath and calmed himself. "I'm going out, Giannini..."
"What? But that is dangerous, boss!" Giannini told Yushi in a tone that was full of concern.
"I know! But we have no other choice... We have to find the Sky Guardian before Onee-chan kills him! Let's just hope that I find him first before she does." Yushi countered Giannini.
Giannini was rendered speechless by Yushi's voice.
Lambi and Lambo entered the room while playing tag. Lambo saw the video of Tsuname that was projected on the wide screen.
"Alelele... That person looked like Tsuna-nii..." Lambo said as he pointed his finger on the screen.
Lambi dropped her toys on the ground and began to tear up when she saw the video. "Tsuname-nee..."
Yushi felt sad when he saw Lambi's expression. He patted her head gently to comfort her.
Lambo noticed that Yushi was going somewhere. "Are you going somewhere?"
Yushi looked at Lambo and nodded. "Yeah... I'm going to look for your Tsuna-nii."
Lambo brightened up on what he said. "Gyahahaha...! Lambo-san will come!"
Lambi wiped her tears and stared at Yushi's eyes. "I will come as well Yushi-nii!"
Yushi doesn't want them to come since they were still kids. In the end, he decided to bring them with him. Despite their young age, they were still the Lightning Guardians of Vongola.
Yushi, Lambo and Lambi went out of the base in search of Tsuna.
The female guardians received Giannini's message. They told the guardians that were with them about their destination. They also reassured them that they will explain everything once they reached a safe place.
Tsuna, who was travelling all by himself, decided to go to the Namimori Shrine first since that was the nearest place to his whereabouts.
Tsuname, who joined the Vongola Hunt, went to Namimori Shrine to visit there. It has been so long since she had last paid a visit to that place. The last time that she had went to that place was when Nana was still alive.
