Summary: Shouichi, the genius planner, strategist and mechanic/inventor, working together with Spanner and Giannini, the 3 devisied a master plan to get everyone back to the supposed timeline. Shouichi had a big discussion with the TYL people for instance, the Varia, Bianchi, Fuuta, Giannini, the revived Arcobaleno, Lal Mirch, Ganma, Kusakabe Tetsuya, Joshima Ken, Kakimoto Chikusa and M.M, about having to switch with their past selves permanently.
In the end, after a 3 hour – long talks regarding the pros and cons, those who agreed were the Varia, the revived Arcobaleno excluding Lal Mirch, Ganma, Bianchi, Tetsuya, Ken and Chikusa. With the help of the power of completed Trinisette, everything went smoothly. With knowledge from time – traveling, Vongola's technology is the best in the world. Currently, he's with Spanner and Giannini working in Japan's Vongola Headquarters under Tsuna.
He's on a project to neutralize the Arcobaleno Curse, having succeeded in prolonging the Sky's Arcobaleno's life and also merging Rokudo Mukuro and his 10 years later self. At Tsuna's insistence, he like Spanner and Giannini were given Box animals, he has the Vongola – made Sun attributed Mouse, known as Sunao (This means Meek), who's able to help Shouichi. On the orders of Tsuna, three of them created weapons for those non – combatants of the family.
Last Chapter on Facing His Past:
Once he entered the bathroom, Tsuna promptly closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief as he leans against the door, a sigh of tension relieving off him.
"Phew, that was close. I just thought that my heart jumped out of me in that moment. It's just true that I can't handle this kind of things." while rubbing scratching his hair in anxiety. "I'll need to do everything I can to protect everyone. I may not be a hero like what Reborn says but I must try." he thought to himself, the eyes gleaming with hard resolve and conviction.
With that hardened resolved, the Vongola ring on his finger began to light up with a crystal clear sky flames. The young Vongola jumped back in shocked.
"HHHiiiiiiiieeeee! Why did the ring lit up?" he asked in panic.
Soon the brunette could hear a distinct voice from the ring itself. It was as if the voice was from a real person talking directly to him.
"Vongola Decimo, I'm proud of your courage and thus accept that harden resolve of yours. Do what you wish to do regarding the future of the Vongola and the rings." the voice said and then an image appeared.
Tsuna panicked again before realizing the voice from the ring itself. "Weird, was that from the Shodai Vongola? He's proud of me? But why? I may hurt many people in the end." was the brunette's thought. Wondering back to how he's been nothing but a wimp, he can't help but feel disheartened about what he's about to do.
"First I got to move all of them from Namimori to another country for safety sake. I'll split the Guardians up as well. I'll face Vince alone." was what Tsuna planned in his mind.
At different areas of Namimori, the other 7 guardians of the Vongola rings felt their rings lit up with a pretty crystal clear orange light. Soon there was an image of a predecessor Guardian for each of the different ring holders, the same thing that happened during the big battle against Byakuran and his 6 funeral wreaths.
Gokudera Hayato just came out of a convenience store carrying 2 bags full of snacks and drinks. He then felt a reaction coming from his Vongola storm ring. A visual image came out from the clear orange light emitting from the ring. The Guardian also known as G. was the first Storm Guardian of the Vongola Family.
"Giotto, this child is very much like you. He's truly the one we've been waiting." was the image of G.'s words, with a genuine smile.
Rokudo Mukuro, Chrome Dokuro and their cronies were at their hideout at Kokuyo Land, where like Hayato, both of their mist rings lit up. (A.N: Chrome and Mukuro both have the modified Mist ring in this fanfiction, this is being mention in a mini biodata entry at the top, so do read that and you'll understand what's going on.) Like Hayato who had an image of its predecessor lighting up, they both share a same combine image of the First Mist Guardian, Demon Spade.
"Interesting isn't it? Just like you, Giotto. Not to mention the looks, even though yours is blonde and his brown, but practically a clone of you, in looks and conviction." Demon Spade commented in a sarcastic tone.
Yamamoto Takeshi was on his way to Tsuna's house when his Rain Vongola Ring lit the same clear orange light as the others, an image of the first Vongola Rain Guardian was being shown to him.
"That's why he has the true blood of the Vongola in him. Unlike the other bosses, he's got the one true conviction that has never been seen since our Boss." the Mist Guardian claimed.
Elsewhere, Sasagawa Ryohei has brought I-pin and Lambo for a morning run. The two 10 year – olds prove to be great companions as they all enjoy each other's companionship and company. When they stopped to take a break, suddenly both Lambo and Ryohei felt their Vongola rings lit up the way the other Guardians did. Lambo's image was the First Lightning Guardian, Lampo, while Ryohei's was the First Sun Guardian.
"It's another Boss. That's scary." was what Lampo managed to say.
"Unbelievable kid. He's truly yours, Giotto. Come to think of it, many similarities are present between ours and theirs don't you think?" the Sun Guardian cheerfully said.
At Namimori Junior High School's rooftop, Hibari Kyouya was lazing with Hibird at his side. Noticing that his Cloud Vongala ring is being lit up and an image of his predecessor's face was shown, who was the First Cloud Guardian, Alaude. This aroused his interest and looked up at the image with anticipation.
"It's quite useless no matter what. It's no different from another one of Giotto's rants, which are uncharacteristic dull and boring." Alaude spoke in a disinterest manner.
Back to Tsuna, he saw that image was the form of his ancestor, the Primo Vongola Head, Giotto, the main founder of the Vongola family. Tsuna look in awe at the person who looks eerily like himself, except that their hair colour was different. Soon Tsuna was able to see all the founders consisting of the Vongola Primo's family.
"What's this? Why? Why did say that you were proud of me? I've been nothing but a Dame- Tsuna. I…. I…I…could only…" and the brunette started to break down.
"Listen Vongola Decimo, you have the potential and powers to be the best Vongola head ever, even surpassing myself. Don't let anything put you down, like I said, do as you wish."
"Do as you wish? What do you mean?" the boy asked frantically.
"We are alike more than you've ever think, Decimo. I'm glad I've finally get to meet my true successor. The ring that you have holds unimaginable powers. Don't ever forget that. It's up to you to utilize that power for yourself."
"I see. Then… I shall… Use it to… PROTECT MY LOVE ONES." Tsuna shouted out the last part.
Looking at the young boss's eyes, the image smirked and then disappears with the rest of his guardians, with parting words of "Good Luck, Vongola Decimo. The rest lies in your hands."
Reborn smiled at the conversation he overheard outside the bathroom. He was going to give an earful to the young boss. At other parts of Namimori, the other guardians of the rings, decided to look for their boss, in order to clear up what's was that all about. Everyone could be seen running towards Tsuna's home.
By the time Tsuna was changed smartly in his office 3 piece suit (similar to the one he wore to fought in the Choice Arc) and went downstairs for breakfast, which was then, he got another shock that morning.
"HHHHiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeee! What's this? Why's everyone here? Kyoko – chan? Haru too?" as the young boss panicked for the second time that morning.
It turns out that out of a sudden, Sasagawa Kyoko and Haru together with all his Guardians, Hayato, Takeshi, Ryohei, Mukuro, Chrome, Hibari even were gathered at the breakfast table, with usual people like Reborn, Lambo, I-pin, Fuuta and Bianchi. He sweatdropped at the scene.
"Ohayo Gozaimasu! Jyuudaime!" came the ever enthusiastic greeting from his Storm Guardian, Gokudera Hayato.
"Yo! Tsuna" that was from his buddy, Yamamoto Takeshi
"Ohayo Sawada, Let's get fired up to the extreme!"the fired up Ryohei greeted, which made Tsuna sweatdropped.
"Onii-chan… Calm down. Ohayo Tsuna – kun!" came the sweet voice of his beloved Kyoko – chan.
"Good Morning Tsuna – san!" was greeted by the eccentric Haru, who appeared next to Kyoko out of a sudden.
"Boss." was a simple greeting from his shy second Mist guardian, Chrome Dokuro.
"Kufufufu… That's a long time to get prepared isn't it? Sawada Tsunayoshi." Mukuro questioned.
While Hibari Kyouya would only gave an "Hn" to acknowledge the presence of his boss.
"Aanou… Ohayo Minna –san… Why is everyone here today?" Tsuna asked, stuttering a little.
It was at that statement, did everyone's except for his Mom who was cooking, turned serious and for some like Yamamoto, Gokudera, Ryohei, Hibari and Reborn, turned grim. Tsuna who noticed this began to worry and asked what the matter is? His mother then turned to greet him, unaware of the tense atmosphere surrounding the kitchen.
"Ohayo Tsu – kun, I'm almost done preparing your lunch." and the said lady went back to preparing everyone's bento.
"Hai Kaa –san "he replied as he took a seat between Reborn and Gokudera.
When he wanted to ask again, Reborn silenced him with a death look that says shut-up-and-eat-your-breakfast-first-settle-later. Seeing that look scared Tsuna into silence while tackling his breakfast of Toast, Ham, scramble eggs and creamy mushroom soup.
Breakfast was generally quiet with an occasional loud voice of Hayato scolding Takeshi because the baseball enthusiast would annoy him with his laidback and carefree attitude, while the others just laughed.
While Ryohei will scream out: "To the Extreme!" Mukuro and Kyouya could be seen giving each other glares, freaking Tsuna out and making others confused.
Both Lambo and I-pin have grown up mature and quieted down alot since their childlike 5 year old days. Tsuna secretly thanked God that he didn't have to deal with the hyperactive kids any longer; both kids are attending Namimori Elementary School, affiliated to Namimori Junior High whom Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Kyoko, Haru, Hibari and Tsuna were alumni of. Fuuta is currently studying in that school.
Ever since after the incident with the Millefiore Famiglia, Tsuna's relationship with everyone, goes through a 360° change. He becomes extremely protective to a point that he's no different from a mother hen. He publicly displays affections to everyone in the family, particularly to the younger ones. The bonds they share are unbreakable.
Tsuna was also willingly to play an active role in the family like being everyone's pillar of support and strength, spending time with everyone as often as possible. Organising outings and gatherings at least twice a month, he was able to gain the support of other allies, former enemies like the Varia even, who were willing to submit to his will.
Immediately after everyone has finished with breakfast, Reborn has gathered the necessary people into Tsuna's room for a meeting. Tsuna got a strong feeling that Reborn's going to get nasty with him later, but he'll do everything it takes for the sake of the safety regarding his family.
"What's up with the conversation coming from the…" Yamamoto was being interrupted, with a hand raised by Reborn.
"I'm sure everyone is interested in the conversation between Giotto's Famiglia and Tsuna that everyone of the guardians here should have noticed." Reborn finished what was on everyone's mind.
"Reborn…" Tsuna mumbled only to be interrupted by the Sun Arcobaleno.
"We can all safely confirmed that when Tsuna's in a tight situation, will trigger these reactions. So speak Tsuna, if you lie, I'll promise heavy punishment for you." the infant threatened with a hint of anger in his tone.
Everyone was looking at the said boss with curiosity and interest at what he has to say regarding this matter.
"Jyuudaime, are you ok? What's wrong?" Tsuna's right – hand man asked in concern.
"Tsuna, what has happened?" Yamamoto also asked just as concern.
Just as Ryohei was about to ask, Tsuna interrupted by simply saying:
"Minna, I'm sorry but I need sometime to be alone." with that he ran out of the house.
"Oi Tsuna!" Yamamoto called out.
"Jyuudaime!" Gokudera was about to give chase, but was stopped by Reborn.
"Reborn – san! Datte…" the silvered – haired young adult protested.
"Kufufufu… Tsunayoshi – kun's having some problems lately. Looks like he doesn't want to say anything to us at all." Mukuro commented.
"Mukuro – sama … Boss…" Chrome stuttered out.
"I think its time we'll take matter into our hands, with or without Tsuna's acknowledgement. Tsuna that baka, intents to take on a powerful enemy all by himself without having to involve any of us." Reborn stated.
"What do you say?" Gokudera asked shocked.
"Is it true, Kozo?" Yamamoto followed.
Mukuro and Hibari just gave a look that says they've guessed it somehow. Chrome just kept a blank face, while Ryohei managed a murmur of "That sums it." Lambo looked confused but just gave a shrug and kept silent.
"Reborn – san, what's going on?" Gokudera continued.
"In the mafia world lately, do you hear about a rising power called the Soges Famiglia?" Their founder and boss, I believed is a man named Vince. "Reborn began.
"Vince? I've got sources about this fellow. His aura seems familiar though." Mukuro reported.
"Aah, this fellow style and antics is vaguely familiar, though it's unfortunate I can't recall who." Hibari spoke.
Reborn gave a dark look at that, "What's going on here? I've a bad feeling about this for quite awhile already. Familiar aura? I must look into this. If Tsuna has even resorted to behaving like that, I can't take this easy any longer. I've got to assume the worst possible factors. Che, everything's going to get ugly again."
"Anou, Reborn – san? " Gokudera waved his hands in front of the infant hitman trying to get his attention.
"Aa, I was just trying to straighten out my thoughts, so, I'm going to assign some important missions to all of you. It's a life and death situation out there. As Tsuna's guardians, it's your job to protect your boss." Reborn spoke with a rare seriousness that got everyone's attention.
Then the Arcobaleno started explaining on how Tsuna's been behaving weird recently, his bad sleeping habits, his haggard appearance and how he just managed to read through Tsuna's thoughts before going to plan on how to assist Tsuna without getting themselves killed and other innocent parties involved.
"So I don't have to do anything right?" Lambo asked.
Reborn: "Aah, but we're stepping up your training Lambo, though you're already able to participate in combat but it's still not enough, I'll be giving a call to Ganma, he'll be your Kateikyoshi for as long as possible."
"We'll begin everything soon, so be prepared. You all may go now. Leave Tsuna to me." Reborn then hopped out of opened windows of the room and disappeared to look for his precious Tsuna. "Don't do anything stupid." he thought.
