A/N: The third chapter~ Rhemi and I have only about... three more chapters before we have to make new ones. Agh~ oh well.
At this point in their lives, the Vindetor members have not met the Vongola Tenth Generation. They will soon, don't worry. I put it in the summary, didn't I?
Ah yes, in this story, KHR is a band. Like, a vocal band.
Beware of the not-so-nice words in this chapter. Hee hee...
In a hideout somewhere...
"Boss, we have news." A group of men in black suits were on their knees, bowing to another man clad in a black suit sitting behind his desk.
The man behind the desk gave a wave of his hand, signaling one to start talking. One rose from his position, "We have news that our fifth external advisor has gone missing, last seen in the bar he usually goes to. Boss, what are your commands?"
'Boss' stood up and sighed, "Do you have any clues who abducted him?"
"Yes. We suspect it to most likely be the Vindetor Famiglia who wishes to stage an attack on us."
The man gave a growl. Of course it was the Vindetor Famiglia, they had no other rival famiglia nor was the external advisor so stupid to have been caught that easily, drunk or not. He was most likely beat by a powerful illusion that he couldn't break free of.
"Send out a scout team consisting of at least thirty members, after about ten minutes after they infiltrate, send out another wave of thirty and keep doing so until the Vindetor get overwhelmed and we successfully overthrow them."
The group of men nodded, all except one exited the room.
He walked up to the boss, "So you're deciding to end all of this in one shot? Hanamura Leifar-sama~"
'Hanamura Leifar' scowled, "It's a one attack gamble with everyone in our famiglia, and I thought I told you not to address me like that, Kuran."
"Alright, alright boss."
Hanamura's scowl deepened, "I'm also going to go settle my score with Veranico Vindetor Leonardo." Kuran only smirked, waving a hand and exiting the room.
Left alone, Hanamura gave a glare to the wall, "It's time I pay you back for the humiliation you gave me... Veranico Vindetor Leonardo."
At the Vindetor HQ
"Leon, there's about thirty Leifar scouts about to infiltrate our base. Get your guards and be prepared to battle." Shizuo calmly said over his phone, ending his call with the boss and calling Kiriko.
Two rings later, she picked up, "Yeah~?"
"Thirty Leifar scouts, bottom level."
"... Fu fu~ I just happen to be at the entrance with Mei-chan right now~ Kayori should be at the second level where most of our other members are, and Leon-chan is at the third level. Anything I need to know?"
Shizuo reviewed the information he had learned about Leifar over the few weeks, "Yeah. If they're bringing about thirty scout members that means they're probably going to go with an all-out attack. Leifar style will be wave after wave, trying to tire you out."
"That's alright, Mei-chan and I have backup members that need training anyway."
"Right. I've already informed Leon of the situation, he should be getting guards and joining you guys. Get someone to inform Kayori, I'll keep a lookout here." With that, he ended the call and brought out his trusty binoculars. Time for some spy work.
Kiriko gave a delighted smile and turned to the green-hair and red-eyed girl named Toofu Mei, Vindetor's Lightning, who was next to her. "Mei-chan~ We've got thirty Leifar guests about to break in~!"
Mei, clad in her black uniform shirt, white shorts, and sneakers, turned to Kiriko and pouted, "Eh? Seriously? I'm so tired though," she whined.
Kiriko turned around to the group of Lightning and Mist squad newbies following them, "We've got about thirty Leifar guests who won't hesitate to slit your throat the moment they see you. There will be more waves after the first one so good luck surviving~!"
Half of the group shivered in fear, the other half smirked. Mei only whined some more. Kiriko, once again, whipped out her phone and dialed Kayori.
"What is it Kiri?"
"All-out attack from Leifar~ Wave after wave tactic, about thirty about to break in bottom-level~ Leon-chan already informed, Shizu-chan positioned, and me, Mei-chan, and the newbies ready to fight!"
"Ah, I'll get the other members ready and join you guys down there too."
"Alright!" As soon as Kiriko clicked her phone shut, a yell came from the entrance. She smiled, her giant pencil made from metal and fortified steel appeared beside her. Mei had gotten into a battle stance, whipping out her signature needles while the newbies all took out metal swords.
Mei took out her Lightning ring, ignited it and inserted the Flames into her box. A large, green crocodile appeared and sat beside her, waiting for orders to be given. Kiriko also took out her Mist ring and inserted her own Flames into her box. A white fox appeared and growled, breathing out a gust of fog at the door as soon as the enemies appeared.
"Guys, charge!" Mei ordered, rushing into the fog along with her crocodile to strike at the stunned enemies. All of the members already trained to see and fight in the fog, rushed with no hesitation after Mei, some invisible with illusions and others with fortified clothes and weapons due to lightning Flame's abilities.
Kiriko gave a feral smile, "This'll be fun~" she merely stated. She got in a battle stance, alongside her fox, before rushing into the fog, her long reddish ponytail tapping her back every now and then.
Second floor, Kayori
"Okay, I've explained the battle plan, and you guys shouldn't need a repeat, right?" Kayori confirmed while instructing her snipers to run up the stairs to the roof of the HQ.
"Uhh, actually..." Kayori sighed as she tied her brown hair back. There was a member of the Sun group that she wasn't very fond of. His comprehension skills were that of a child's, but he was older than her.
"The Leifar family's traditional plan of attack is to make use of their large numbers and tire the enemy out by coming wave after wave. To try to prevent that, we're going to support from above, aiming at the incoming waves with long-range attacks. It shouldn't be a problem; we have plenty of snipers, and even with regular guns, we can lengthen the range somewhat using our Sun Flames."
"So... I just shoot at the waves of people coming?"
She mentally smacked herself in the head as she put her glasses into their case."Yes. Exactly. Good job."
Sounds of battle started to come from downstairs. Once her squad was in position, she gave the order to fire at will with her walkie-talkie. Although he didn't look it, the brainless guy was very good at his job once you gave him clear orders. He used his Sun Flames to enhance his eyesight, making him an obvious choice for the Sun squad.
The rest of her squad consisted mainly of hand-to-hand fighters, who enhanced their muscles to fight, and medics. She ordered the fighters people downstairs and the medics to be on standby, then stood wondering what to do.
She wandered idly down the stairs, then stopped dead as a bullet lodged itself into the wall next to her. The shooter from downstairs tsk'ed and then began to run towards her. She ran back upstairs, hiding her smile from him.
The shooter chased her, cursing. Kayori quickly turned a corner, and he followed, only to get a face full of pepper spray. Screaming, he clutched his eyes and rolled on the ground, cursing painfully as she laughed. Igniting her Sun Flames on her Ring, she took out the Sun Magpie.
"What happened!" She stopped laughing. Another one had come. She started to run again, dodging bullets by listening to them whistle through the air with her Sun Flame-enhanced hearing. She could now hear the battle downstairs better, and could imagine how much fun Kiriko was having. Her lips moved into a smirk.
Turning the corner, she tried the same trick again. When the enemy turned the corner, she pressed the nozzle of her pepper spray can.
Pshh...
The pepper spray can was used up. Kayori and her opponent both stared at the can for a second.
Kayori reacted first, by kicking the guy in the balls. He fell to the floor, cussing a blue streak. While he was doing that, Kayori took off again, this time towards the living quarters. A few seconds later, the man got up again and proceeded to chase Kayori.
First floor, Kiriko and Mei
The fog had soon cleared out and the one-sided battle turned a little less one-sided. Many clashes of metal as well as screams resonated throughout the bottom floor.
"Fu fu fu~" Kiriko was summoning illusion after illusion, stunning enemies long enough to stab them to death via giant pencil. A sickening crack was heard as she smacked one in the head and he collapsed, a puddle of blood rapidly forming. Kiriko's fox was somewhere else, lunging at unsuspecting enemies and taking them in surprise while chomping down on them.
"Fu fu fu~" Kiriko laughed as the copper scent of blood filled the room. Her eyes were narrowed and held frenzy, almost crazy glint in them while her smile turned slightly wider and more demonic. She didn't care at all for her own injuries, even if they were comparatively light to the injuries she was giving to the enemies. Ahaha~ The smell of blood~ How delicious, fu fu fu~
Mei, who was next to Kiri at that time, stopped throwing her needles and shivered at the crazed look Kiri was sporting. Her and her bloodlust, she thought disapprovingly before focusing back onto the battle and throwing out waves of needles infused with Lightning flames that pierced through the enemies' flesh.
There really is no stop to these attacks... Kiriko thought, smirk widening at the thought of more battles, and thus more blood. She stopped in her tracks as a bullet whizzed past her, one of the enemy had a handgun in his hands and had almost succeeded in taking off Kiriko's ear.
Kiriko cursed at herself for being unfocused before turning her attention back to the man. She quickly hit the ground with her pencil; almost immediately illusion ropes sprang from the ground and hoisted the man into the air.
The man yelped as the ropes tightened around his ankles, wrists, and neck. He tried struggling against it to no avail and gave another yelp as they tightened even more.
Kiriko laughed, "Leifar scout-chan~ Do you know what Mist Flames do? They strengthen the power of illusions to make them a lot morereal~ You can't just break through them that easily~"
The man still tried to struggle and break free of the ropes, causing Kiriko to narrow her eyes even further. "You feel fear don't you?" she whispered, "Fear that you'll be killed, fear that with just one move, I can make those ropes tear you apart and let you feel agonizing pain~"
With one fluid motion, Kiriko jumped and stabbed the man through the chest before landing on the ground and letting her illusion disappear. "Unfortunately, I can't take my time and slowly torture you~" She stated, glancing at the blood on her pencil and smirking.
"Kiriko! Behind you!" Mei shouted in alarm. Kiriko spun around to face another man pointing a gun at her.
"Shi-" Before the man could pull the trigger, he abruptly collapsed, a needle sticking out from his back.
Mei sighed, thanking to god that she had made it in time. Kiriko ran over and stabbed the man, just to make sure he was completely dead. "Thanks Mei-chan~ I owe you one!" Kiriko beamed, hyper from all the blood splaying around her.
Mei only grinned playfully, "How about stop stealing my poison chemicals?" Kiriko pouted, but her eyes suddenly widened in alarm and she forcefully hit the ground with her giant pencil. Mei turned around to see what Kiriko was looking at, just in time to see more men with guns get hoisted off the ground with ropes.
Kiriko growled, "Sneaking up on two girls talking? My, you Leifar scouts are really unfair~" Hitting the ground again, more ropes sprouted from the ground and wrapped around each of the men, squeezing them tighter and tighter until their bodies burst and blood sprayed out.
"...That's kind of gross, Kiri." Mei stated. Kiriko only gave a demonic smirk and said ecstatically, "I think it's beautiful~ Well, I've repaid my debt to Mei-chan! Which means I can still borrow your poisons!"
"Hey!"
One of the Vindetor newbies ran up to the two, pointing towards the entrance, "Mei-senpai, Kiri-senpai, and more Leifar members have appeared!"
The two glanced at each other and nodded before Kiriko ran off to assist the others. Mei turned towards the newbie, "Go round up all the other members you can find to help assist us. Kayori should have already gotten the others positioned so they'll take out a number of Leifar's before they can reach us. We'll hold off till then!"
The newbie nodded and sped off down the hallway, Mei grinned in approval and with that, also took off to join Kiriko in Leifar-killing.
Kayori, near her room
"Hah-hah, hah-hah, hah-hah..." Kayori was starting to get tired of running. Her opponent was also getting tired; he had run out of bullets and was now chasing her with a knife.
The Sun Guardian soon reached her room and dived to open her bottom cabinet, then snatched a bag out of it. Facing her enemy, she opened the hand bag and took out another spray.
"Haa...haa... so you run into here, girl?...haa...What are you going to...haa...do now, hmm?"
In reply, she smiled angelically. The man frowned in frustration, and lunged at her with his knife. She dodged easily, and the knife plunged into her bed. Kayori froze, dropping her bag and can of spray.
"Oh? Giving up? That's good, saves me the trouble."
Kayori didn't reply. Her head was lowered, casting a shadow over her face.
"What? You're scared? So scared you can't move, huh? Well-"
A pair of scissors was suddenly right in front of his eyes. He yelled in shock and moved his head away, only to discover Kayori's face was right in front of his. She had a very blank expression. So blank, it was intimidating him.
"...Do you realize what you just did?" she whispered. Terrified, the enemy shook his head frantically."...You just stabbed my bed. The blanket had the images of my favorite band, KHR. You just stabbed a giant hole through my favorite singer's head of that very bed. And you say that you don't fucking know what you just fucking did, you thrice-damned asshat?" she hissed maliciously.
The Sun ring on her finger burst into flames, and she inserted it into her Sun Magpie Box. The Magpie erupted out of its Box and flew around the room.
"...Let's get you out of my beloved room, shall we? I don't want your shitty blood on my carpet..."
And so, the poor guy was left to his fate... in some other person's room. She was too busy torturing to notice whose.
Once she was done, she walked downstairs to help Mei and Kiriko, covered in blood. On her way, she bumped into Leon, her orange-haired, brown-eyed, overly-tall (in her opinion) Boss. Some blood got onto his suit, but he didn't notice.
"Ah! Pop~!"
"MY NAME'S NOT POP!" he yelled. "And can't you keep the screaming down to a minimum? It's really irritating, you know. I was trying to sleep!"
"No can do~ I'm not the one screaming, you see. Anyway, you were sleeping in the middle of an enemy attack?"
"...Uh... well... I... I couldn't help it! I was just sitting in my chair after getting others to go help fight, and I was up late yesterday, and the chair was really comfy..." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Oh, I understand perfectly!" she smiled, as she adjusted the jacket tied around her waist.
Pop looked at her in surprise, ignoring the blood. "You do?"
"Of course! Your chair does feel really good."
"...you...sat in my...?" Pop was very protective of his new chair. It was expensive, and the last one had been broken by Kiriko in ways that he had not imagined possible for a chair. The one before that had somehow been thrown out the window by Kayori into a random fire, and the one even before that had been stuck full of Mei's needles. Good thing he hadn't sat down.
"Heh heh..."
"KAYORIIIIIIIII!"
"KYAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She ran the rest of the way down the stairs and joined in the fight.
In the bottom level, the smell of blood was overpowering. Kayori wrinkled her nose, thinking of Kiriko's uncontrollable bloodlust. She was probably having the time of her life right now.
Muffled screams were heard and Kayori ran to the room where Kiriko, Mei, and the newbies were fighting. The sight of a man tied from neck down to feet in rope was the first thing Kayori saw. The second was said man exploding from the pressure of the ropes that were tightened around his body.
Blood splashed all around the room and Kayori once again wrinkled her nose. She sighed when she spotted Kiriko with an almost too gleeful face.
Soon after, Leon sped in the room and saw the condition it was in. He smacked his head and gave a sob. Hopefully the mess wouldn't be TOO hard to clean up. Why did Kiriko have to fight in the living room?
Shizuo, on a tree… somewhere.
Shizuo sighed, still perched up on a branch, and watched as waves of Leifar members were taken out by snipers. It's about time they ran out…Indeed, the waves had been getting smaller and less frequent.
He took out his trusty binoculars and looked around the front of the Vindetor HQ. Numbers of bloody bodies were scattered throughout, Shizuo grimaced. That would take a long time to clean up.
A shout startled him and he glanced at the new wave running across the clearing. A second later, Shizuo spotted a man wielding a giant double-edged blade which glinted in the sunlight, and he instantly paled. Fumbling out his phone and flipping it open, Shizuo quickly pressed speed dial to Leon.
One ring later, the call connected and a tired voice came through, "Shizuo? What is it?"
"Leon, this is most likely their last wave. Leifar boss is coming and he looks ready to kill."
"…Oh damn. Alright, I'll get the others ready. Are you joining?"
"No, I'll stay here and report if anything else happens." He flipped his phone shut and sighed. I could really use a cheesecake right now….
Leon, Kayori, Mei, and Kiriko in the Living Room
Leon pocketed his phone, grimacing as more blood rained down onto him as well as the living room. "Stop staining my living room with blood, Kiriko!"
"Sorry Leon-chan~ you know I can't help it!" Kiriko called back, ignoring Leon's orders and making more enemies explode.
"Anyway, we're getting the last wave! Leifar boss is making his way in right now!" Leon yelled, groaning as even more blood splattered onto him, "DAMMIT KIRIKO! STOP THAT!"
A needle flew past Leon's ear and successfully lodged itself into an enemy behind him. "Pay attention, boss!" Mei called out, running off to stab more enemies. She also had several light injuries, and she was struggling to keep her pace.
"KYAAHAHAHAHA!" Kayori had taken to spraying enemies in the face with various sprays from her hip bag and stabbing them with scissors. She was definitely pissed about her bed.
A sharp clang and scream from one of the Vindetor newbie caused the guardians to stop in their tracks. One shouldn't have fallen down so easily if they had flames on their side, newbie or not. The Leifar famiglia didn't even know about flames, putting the Vindetor into a high advantage.
A deep voice rang through the living room, "I see you're the same as ever, Veranico Vindetor Leonardo…." All the guardians turned around, their eyes falling on a man decked in a black cape and wielding a double-edged sword.
Leon glared, "Hanamura Leifar…. Have you still not accepted your defeat all those years ago?" Hanamura gave a nasty scowl, a dark shadow cast over his eyes. "I will not forget the humiliation you have given me! I became the laughing stock of the whole town for losing to a mere child!" He spat out, raising his sword and charging at Leon.
In a split second, Leon's ring ignited and his gloves were engulfed in sky flames and he extended one hand out to successfully block Leifar's sword.
"Oh? What's this…?" Leifar asked, eyes widened at the flames on Leon's hand.
"Nothing you would know about!" With that, the two engaged in high speed combat.
In the background, the others had successfully taken out all the members and were watching Leon fight. Mei turned to Kiriko, "Kiri! Use your illusions and help out Leon!" she urged. Kiriko's fox, Shiro, leaped over and with one glance at Mei, had gone back into his box. Mei stared at the fox for a few seconds, wondering if it was trying to tell her something.
Thud.
Mei turned back and found Kiriko, face planted onto the ground and dead unconscious. "EEH! KIRI?" Mei shouted, crouching down and shaking her.
"Ah," Kayori spoke, "I forgot. Kiriko has the worst stamina out of all of us."
Mei stared at Kayori, then back at Kiriko, "But she didn't seem tired at all during the fight!"
Kayori shrugged, kicking the unconscious Kiriko, "She was probably too hyper from her bloodlust to even notice."
"Ah…." Mei nodded, before pausing.
She lifted Kiriko up and shook her, "WHY DID YOU FAINT WHEN WE NEEDED YOU THE MOST?" Mei screamed in Kiriko's face, slapping her back and forth. "WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!"
Kayori just stared at the two, secretly laughing, before taking out her phone and calling someone from her Sun Medic team. As she was pressing the Send button, a gunshot rang out, and the phone shattered in her hand.
"..."
Mei cringed in horror, knowing what would come next.
A peek into Kayori's thoughts...
Phone...ow...hand...shards...gun...my phone...my... phone...
...phone?...
...PHONE?...
...KHR stickers on the cover?...
And back...
"...alright, 'fess up. Who did this?" Although Kayori's voice sounded normal, Mei knew better than to think of it as an 'okay' sign.
Kayori turned to the newly-arrived Leifar soldiers in the living room. No one answered.
"FUCKSHITDAMNITALL, I SAID FOR SOMEONE TO FUCKING SPILL IT! WHO JUST BROKE MY PHONE? IT HAD KHR STICKERS ON THE PHONE COVER, GODDAMMIT!"
Leon tried to interrupt her while he was fighting. "Kayori, you can't seriously-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, POP, BEFORE I USE KIZU ON YOU TOO!"
Leon gulped and went back to fighting. Mei decided this was a convenient time to call the Sun Medic Team to pick up Kiri. If Kiri was conscious, she would've been laughing. Not Mei, she was very scared right now.
"WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO WRECK MY FAVORITE STUFF TODAY? DID KHR DO SOMETHING TO YOU SHITTY BASTARDS? GO TO HELL, ALL OF YOU BRAINLESS FUCKTARDS!"
That said, her Sun Flames were inserted into her Box Weapon again, and Kizu the Sun Magpie immediately streaked towards the Leifar troops, screeching. The hired hands didn't know what was happening. All they knew was a yellow blur was heading toward them quickly, and they figured that it was a good time to start shooting.
All the bullets melted as they hit Kizu's body, which was coated with Sun Flames. Kizu was unaffected, and flew over the soldiers, spreading the Flames. The soldiers started screaming a second later.
"Hmph. That's what you get, fucking dipshits." Kayori walked over to them slowly, having exhausted her Flame supply. She sprayed her new can of pepper spray into their faces, increasing the volume. Pop and the Leifar Boss were the only ones left fighting.
A/N: I LOVE writing Kayori when she's like this. Hee hee... I need more insults and stuff though. If you have any recommendations, please leave it in the reviews. However, please let me know that it's a recommendation, and not a flame directed at me. The next chapter is the last part of the battle! After that... I won't tell you. Please R&R! If you do, you get a free virtual needle from Mei, plus a small bottle of a random, dangerous chemical that I don't know the name of because I don't know a lot of Chemistry!
Mei: Hey, you do know that's dangerous, right?
Why, of course I do! That's precisely the reason why I'm handing them out! Everyone has someone they absolutely want to kill in their lives, ne? Now they can, with just a simple stab into-
Mei: NO! DON'T DO IT! YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT SO IRRESPONSIBLY! NOOOOO!
Hee hee hee...
