Everyone in there could not believe what they just had heard. Did they mishear it? Reborn was still glaring at the man in black, still appoint his gun at him.
"W- What did you just say?" Gokudera asked, still confused.
"I said there's still a chance to you to save Vongola Decimo." Bermuda said to them
Everyone was now quiet and confused. It was impossible to revive the death. They all Tsuna being killed by Daemon. Why he was saying there was a chance to save him?
"I think I can explain this better to these mortals, Bermuda." A female voice said.
The vongola and the Shimon were taken by surprise when they saw black flames appearing beside Bermuda. When the flames were gone, they saw a woman poking her head out, a woman with long, spiky white hair, a fair skin complexion, and wearing luscious red lipstick emerged and giggled with excited glee. She was garbed in long purple overstretched panty-hosed stockings. Other accessories she wore were purple leather high-heeled boots, a pink leather PVC top, and long purple fingerless arm-lengthed gloves. Behind her spiky white hair was long black hair hanging down her back. Her two boobs seemingly 'bounced' behind her top as she spun around and assumed a sexy pose, winking and blowing a kiss. A long purple hair curved out behind her back as two large wings unfolded and stretched out across her back. Needless to say some males had a small nosebleed from the sight of the sexy female stranger.
"Greetings mortals. My name is Cassandra; I am one of the Furies at Underworld."
"Wait wait wait!" Shouted Gokudera as he glared at the woman. "You mean the same furies from the Greek mythology? The ones who judges the souls of evil people?"
"You got that right cutie."Cassandra said as she winked at him, Gokudera blushed as glared at her. How dare that woman trying to seduce her Gokudera-kun? "Lord Hades wants to make a proposal with you. A proposal that none of you want to refuse. Of course, you can't, I mean, It's not everyday Lord Hades comes with a proposal to mortals. He did do with that Orpheus guy once. Ah, I can't forget about that girl from 100 years ago who also got Hades….."
"Shouldn't you explain Hades-sama's proposal, Cassandra?" Bermuda said, interrupting the Fury.
The fury frowned as she crossed her arms, annoyed. "You're no funny, Bernnie."
The others sweetdropped. Bernie? They didn't say anything because they were not insane enough to comment a silly nickname of a vendice guard.
"Cassandra…" he warned.
"Ok, fine."Cassandra said, grumpily. " Anyway, Lord Hades's proposal is this; you will choose five of you to go to underworld. Lord Hades will give you some trials to win. If you win all the trials and reaching the Elysian Fields where Sawada Tsunayoshi is before the time limit is over, you can have his soul back." Cassandra explained to them as they looked shocked and confused.
"While you are at Underworld doing your trials, we the vendice will fix and revive Sawada Tsunayoshi's body. We can revive his body but it's your mission to retrieve his soul."
Now Reborn understood why the vendice took Tsuna's body. It was to revive it. But its looks like they can't get the soul back to the body. Reborn wonders what's the connection between vendice and Hades. Both the vendice guard and the fury left the group behind, saying they have until tomorrow to decide which 5 of them should go. The Vongola were quiet as they looked at each other. Who should go?

Tsuna and Luce were in the top of a hill. Tsuna couldn't believe the sight he was seeing. The big green fields with waterfalls and rivers. Tsuna never had seen such beautiful place in his life before. And the aura of this place gave him so much peace.
"It's beautiful, isn't it, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Luce asked.
"Yeah." Tsuna agree, still looking at the Elysian Fields. Then, he hides his eyes under his locks as he closed his hand into a first. "I am really dead?"
Luce looked at the boy with sympathy. She knew this boy had go through to so many hardships and it's only natural that he would not believe at first he was dead. Luce took his hand and smiled to the young boy.
"You saved everyone in the future, you fought for what it was right, you made the Shimon see the true and you saved Enma. You did so much that no other person could do. Isn't that enough?" She smiled "finally you can rest in peace here in Elysian fields."
Tsuna was quiet as he remembered all the things he did while under Reborn's tutoring. He hated most of the things but it was thanks to this he got friends and his life was not alone. He didn't want leave them yet.
"I see you showing Elysian to him, Luce." a new voice said behind.
Tsuna and Luce turned around and they saw a man long black hair, pale skin, a bit muscled and he was wearing a black and silver armor. But his most noticeable feature was his silver eyes. Tsuna's eyes widen in surprise when he recognized that man. It was the same man with those 3 black dogs that he met when he was a child.
"You?"
The man smiled as he ruffled his spiky hair and chuckled fondly.
"I am happy that you haven't had forgotten about me, Tsunayoshi-kun." The silver eyed man said.
"Hades-sama, I didn't know you already met Tsunayoshi-kun before." Luce commented very surprised.
Now its Tsuna's turn to be totally shocked. That man was Hades? The same Hades who is the lord of underworld and one of the Olympian 12? The silver eyed man? It was….unbelievable!
"Can I borrow him, Luce? There's some stuff I need talk to him."
Now Tsuna was confused; what stuff a god wants to talk him about? He was just a simple mortal. Hades took his hand as he smiled softly to him.
"Its concern about your guardians."

Tsuna always heard about the stories about Hades and Underworld. Most of the stories always describes Hades castle was dark and gloomy, just like of a vampire. Hell, even in Saint Seiya portrayed Hades not liking light. But this dining room was not he had imagined being Hades's dining room.
The room was big with a lot of lights illuminating the room, a big table with different type of food. Tsuna couldn't help but feeling a bit intimidated by the underworld lord's presence. Especially when this god invited you to have a dinner with him.
"Something matter, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Hades asked, after he drank some wine.
"Hiiee! Its nothing!" Tsuna said quickly "Err… where's your wife? Persephone?"
Now Hades looked at him with a surprise look on his face.
"Oh, you know Persephone?" Hades asked, smiling to him "You do not look like someone who likes to read ancient Greek stories."
Tsuna chuckles nervously as he scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. He was right, he was not the type to read Greek mythology but Reborn had forced him reading them and some Greek tragedy plays, which were the favorite ones in the mafia world. Tsuna kinda admitted he liked some stories from the Greek mythology involving the heroes helping people and defeating the big monsters.
"She's not here at the moment. In your world its still summer. My wife will only comes here when the summer ends and starting of autumn."
"That's right." thought Tsuna as he remembered the story of Hades and Persephone. If he was not mistake Persephone had ate a fruit of underworld and because of this, Persephone had to stay with Hades for autumn and winter and with her mother for spring and summer. He looked guilty at the food in the front of him. "If I eat anything from here, I will stay here for good?" he suddenly asked, with his eyes hidden behind of his locks.
Hades looked at Tsuna with curious eyes. So he knew if he eats something from there, there's no way to go home, even if his guardians pass their trials. He knew Tsuna was more than his silver eyes could see.
"Yes, but you don't have to worry about this. Everything on this table is from the living world."
Tsuna blinked confused. Why Hades had bothered himself bringing food from the living world? Wasn't he dead? And also the lord of Underworld had mentioned about something to do with his guardians.
"Your ancestor had convinced me it's not your time yet to come here."
"My ancestor?" Tsuna asked confused.
"That would be me." a new voice said.
Tsuna turned around and he saw Giotto- Vongola primo entered to the dining room. Needless to say Tsuna was shocked to see primo in there.
"I convinced Hades-sama that it's not your time to come down here yet." Giotto said as he placed his hand on Tsuna's shoulder.
"Convinced?"Hades frowned "You were more like annoying me for the past 24 hours when you heard the Moirae were about to cut his life-threat. You're lucky that Persephone likes you or else I would have sent you to Tartarus for a week.
Tsuna sweetdropped. He can't really see Primo doing something like annoying a god for the sake of someone. That was very suicidal even for him. I mean, they are on their dominium. He's practically the king of the world of death.
"And what this is had to do with me eating food from the living word and my guardians?"
Hades sighted as he looked at Tsuna with a serious look in his silver eyes.
"I will not lie to you, Tsunayoshi, I would rather you stay here. I have been waiting 10 years for this moment. But I kinda want to see the man you suppose to become in the 10 years of future. Which why I asked to vendice to revive your body while your guardians come down here to retrieve you."
Tsuna's eyes widen in shock. "Come down here? But why? Why can`t why just return to my body?"
Tsuna didn't want his guardians coming to the underworld. He might not know about Tartarus and Asphodel Fields but he knew it's not a trip field that someone should do. It would be completely different from the dangers they faced in the future.
"There some rules even the gods must follow, Tsunayoshi. To revive someone, the mortal must show their worthiness for the soul. I saw how much you did for the Vongola family and others but I felt none had paid you back for all the things you did." Hades said to him. "Which why I will give them the chance to prove themselves their worthiness on the trials here."
"T-Trials?" Tsuna didn't like where this will going to. He was afraid for his guardians' safety.
"Five of your guardians will come down here, they will go through the trials I will put them on. If they fail in one of the trials or not reach you in seven days, your soul will remain here forever."
To be continue it.
