Author notes: Thanks for the reviews and helpful tips. It seems that some of the explanations in the previous chapters were not as clear as I wanted them to be. As Lucian mentioned about "mental and physical cracks" he was meaning a degenerative incurable disease or something of the sorts for physical cracks. And for mental it would be like multiple personality disorders or some other mentally unstable condition. But other than that, thanks again for the support, and by the way there will be a time skip. About a 4 year skip, but fret not I will have some important flashbacks. Also the Shimon family will not be included in the story. In this Fanfiction they left Japan for some undisclosed island away from the mafia. So on with Chapter 3!

I own nothing but the idea.

Chapter 3: Forgotten Tragedies

And Time Skip!

4 years, 4 long years of nothing but bloodshed and violence. Killing has become a common occurrence in the mafia world, more than it was before. Wars between families were always raging; the death toll was high, and most of the underworld only saw it getting worse.

There were many rumors; some about the end of all the mafia, others were about a lost Family that was taking over policing the underground. But the most prominent was the ones about Vongola.

Federico had become Vongola Decimo not too long after Tsuna was forced to resign. Timeoto had retired and was living a life outside of the mafia with his guardians, he was left out of the loop on how bad the underworld had really become and no information ever reached his ears.

Even worse for the Vongola; it was found out they were missing Guardians. Yamamoto had taken 3 years to tell Lambo that Tsuna was gone. And when he finally comprehended that Tsuna was missing he ran off to Reborn to try to find his Nii-san.

Hibari had been missing ever since Tsuna had disappeared and Federico had placed a bounty on his head. They had tried to find other Cloud Flame users to become his Cloud Guardian but none were powerful enough to have the X bracelets accept them. It was either; find a guardian more powerful than Hibari or make Hibari come back to do his job.

Another rumor was that Vongola's allies were either leaving them or becoming unstable. The Chiavarone family has fallen into chaos because Dino was forced in a medically induced coma. The stress from constant paper work and Tsuna being dead had caused him to lash out at anything and even himself. Multiple times he had tried to end his life, only to have his family members there to restrain him.

The Arcobaleno's wanted nothing to do with the Vongola or any of the people within it. They had completely separated themselves from anything to do with Vongola. Needless to say Reborn still holds a Grudge against many people within the family. Though when Lambo appeared crying and begging for forgiveness (not only from Reborn but Tsuna as well), he made an exception.

(Author note: I am not paring anyone with anyone. This is just to move the plot.)

With the Millefiore Family, it was said that they had attempted to abduct Federico a year after he took over the Decimo position. After that they went underground and no one knows where they are stationed anymore. But it was also said that Federico's stand-in that was captured in his place was found a year later in many separate places…

(Author note: Please use your imaginations on how the poor stand in died…. I'll just say that it had to do with hours of torture, sharp and pointy objects, flames, acids, drugs, more sharp and pointy objects, mind games, marshmallows, and blood; lots and lots of blood.)

The CEDEF was in shambles, Lal had left to find Tsuna with Reborn and Colonello. With things falling in around his head (figuratively) Iemitsu had a mental breakdown. It happened every time someone mentioned Tsuna, Tuna, Namimori, or Decimo. But that was not what hurt him the most. His wife Nana also disappeared a few months after Tsuna. Many search parties were made for her but all they got was several different women that looked like Nana. And the members of the CEDEF were constantly told to hold their tong in front of the broken man.

Then there was The Varia. There was nothing to really say about them; they had vanished off the face of the map. No one knew where they were or if they weren't destroyed, all that was left of them was an empty base.

The Vongola family looked as if it was as strong as it ever was but on the inside it was a shambled mess.

During the right of Succession Federico had tried to wear the Vongola X ring, only to have Nuts separate himself from the ring and take the form of a rage filled dragon of pure fire.(think the first time Tsuna opened the box weapon.) It attacked everything in its path, leaving Federico with 3rd degree burns all over his body. It would have probably killed him if Ryohei had not been there. But to add insult to injury Primo appeared out of the Vongola X Ring and punched Federico in the face. He disappeared seconds later leaving behind a resealed Vongola Ring.

During those 4 years they searched harder for the runaway Sky box weapon then Tsuna. Finally they had located the rouge box weapon; the location: Namimori, Japan.

"Yamamoto-san, Gokudera-san, and Ryohei-san; you three have been selected by Federico-sama to retrieve the Sky Box weapon. It is last known location was Namimori Park, near the clearing where Tsunayoshi Sawada's blood and weapons were found. You will be leaving in less than an hour, so get packed and meet at the Helicopter pad 24." Said a non-important informer from Federico. He then turned and left the meeting room.

All three were just sitting there dumb struck; they were going back to the place there old friend died. They had not been back to Japan in 4 years; too much had happened in that country and it brought up old memories better left forgotten.

Yamamoto was the first to say anything. "Back to where it all began huh? Did the little guy miss Tsuna that much to go back to where he died…"he stopped his musing when he saw the look on Gokudera's face. It was a mixture of despair, loneliness, regret, and pain.

"Shut it, sword freak…" Gokudera replied back with his usual less enthusiastic insult. After Tsuna was officially labeled "Dead" he lost most of his fire and enthusiasm.

"I GET TO SEE KYOKO AGAIN, EXTREAM!"Ryohei yelled at the defenseless ceiling, causing a hair line crack to form in the unfortunate panels.

"Sorry Ryohei; You know on missions we are not supposed to have any contact with civilians. And seeing as this is a retrieval mission; we won't have any spare time on our hands to do anything else. Thought I would like to visit my father. He had been so busy with the restaurant that he had no time to visit me during the holidays." Takeshi commented, he had been really down about no spending Christmas with his father, but work is work no matter where you are.

"Enough! Go and Get packed for your Mission, Federico-sama warned me not to let you stall, it'll get away if we don't move fast enough. So Get Your Asses In Gear and GO!" Roared the non-important informant that assigned the mission, he was standing next to the door waiting for them to leave the meeting room.

"Right away, TO THE EXTREAM!"Screamed Ryohei to the poor ceiling once again, causing the previously cracked tiles to break completely and fall on Gokudera's head.

"WOULD YOU SHUT UP, LAWN HEAD!" Screamed Gokudera as he reached for his dynamite.

This resulted in a 30min. long battle between Ryohei and Gokudera with Takeshi on the sidelines laughing his ass off. He had not seen Gokudera that mad sense Lambo had disappeared, and then reappeared with Reborn. It was refreshing to see his old friend finally getting some emotions out.

Though it only left them with 10min. to get to their rooms, pack the things they need and be at the helo-pad. Amazingly they made it to the helicopter that was leaving for Namimori in time, although some of them looked a little singed and disheveled.

In an undisclosed location in Japan.

"Hey Boss! We have a location on the Fuzzy!" A man wearing a Dark purple cloak called out.

"Well?" A smaller figure asked in a neutral tone. He was wearing a similar cloak to the other man but it had silver flames over the heart.

"You won't believe it if I told you! It's here! In Japan, and Not only that it's in Namimori Park! It is too good to be true!" He was jumping up and down like a happy puppy waiting to get praised by his master. (*Cough*or to fetch a ball*Cough*)

The silver flame person looked to his right to another person with a dark purple cloak, she answered his unvoiced question.

"Were only an hour away, but there is a down side. Apparently the Vongola Know that too, and three of the Guardians are on their way to pick it up."

"Call N.C. and tell him that we will be back at base late tonight. And get Void back here; if we have a run in with the Guardians I'll need him to help hold them off." The smaller cloak figure ordered and turned to walk out to his destination.

The Cloaked Woman whipped out a small communication device, and seconds later she fallowed the shorter figure.

"Void said that He'll meet us outside the location. It seems that he had just gotten out of the meeting with our outside informants in Namimori." She continued to walk with the shorter cloaked figure as they left the dark place that they had gathered in.

The figure waiting to be praised finally figured out that he was not getting any more attention. Seeing as there was no one there he realized they had left.

"Hey! Wait for me!"He called out while running to catch the other 2.

Author note: I know it's short! But hopefully it will do for the meantime. I'll update sometime soon again…I hope. Lately my mind has been in other places than writing so it might go for a month before I update again. Hopefully not, but anyways Thanks for your support and Reviews!
