Chapter seven: Pyramid Power
After Tsuna brought Hibari's lunch, somehow he already knows that his Cloud Guardian isn't too far, Tsuna thought to himself why the heck is he doing this.
And what I mean is, why is he in his Hyper Dying-Will mode carrying the bus with a rope attach to his midsection as he flew over Domino City searching for the place that they need to get there before the time struck twelve.
Oh, wait now I remember, if they didn't reach to Pyramid Power Corp. before the clock struck twelve then Tsuna will have to get shot for it.
And when Tsuna heard about this he gave out his unmanly shriek, complaining why would he get shot if they didn't make it on time.
On which Reborn answered;"we have an appointment with our ally and if we fail on this mission then the Ninth will not be pleased and if the Ninth isn't pleased then I am not pleased. And I, blamed you for the failed mission and get the liberty to punish you." Then he heard a click sound near his head. It was Reborn's gun.
And so, taking Reborn's threat to heart Tsuna jumped in to action as he brought his container that holds his Dying-Will Pills and pluck one pill into his mouth and went to Dying-Will mode. He grabed a rope from out of nowhere, tied it to himself and around the bus before he took flight and using his inhumane strenght, thanks to the pill, he took the heavy load with him as they flew of into the sky in a very fast speed.
That explains why he is carrying the Vongola bus, and everyone else in it, and that he is in his Dying-Will mode.
With everything that happened in a span of minutes Tsuna didn't notice a slumbering teen on top of the bus.
While Tsuna complaines about everything that has happened to him, he notice a flying Blue-Dragon flew right beside him. In a brief panic and awe, Tsuna stared at the magnificant creature that wasn't supposed to exist and not realizing it that it was made of metal took off in a different direction.
"What the? Is that a-a Dragon?"
With that brief distraction, Tsuna forgot his will causing the orange flame on his forehead to snuff out as they fall from the sky and into their impending doom.
"Hiii~!"
"Ahhh~!"
Instantly, Giannini with his quick thinking, saved everyones lives by pressing a button on his stirring wheel, activating the rocket boosters on both sides of the bus, bringing the falling vehicle into an aburt halt. With a sigh of relief, everyone calmed their rapidly beating hearts as Giannini took over and flew off to their desired destination.
Already forgotten on what he had just seen a few moments agoTsuna called out to everyone to bring him back inside the bus but with the roaring engine flames of the rockets they didn't heard him as they flew off.
Meanwhile not too far away from the bus, Kaiba Seto blinked rapidly at what he just saw before he shook his head and flew straight to his company, willing to forget what just happened.
He did not just saw a boy flying with a heavy pound bus. That is impossible! No one can carry a freaking bus and fly.
And where on earth is that orange flame come from?
"Argh… I need a vacation." Kaiba Seto mumbles while blaming Yuugi for all the things that he had been experiencing for the past months, first he was told that he is the freaking reincarnation of some freaking priest, second he was told that his midget of a rival is the reincarnation of an anicient pharaoh and was possessed by a spirit, which said spirit is the soul of the ancient pharaoh that dwels on a mystical artifact that hangs around his neck and third magic exists, especially Shadow Magic.
What rubbish.
He doesn't even believe what Ishizu Ishtar or Yuugi Mutou said to him about their past lives somewhere in ancient Egypt. He is after all a man who believes in logic and not magic. And when one of those two, who were listed as insane in his mental note, are the ones who put trash on his head on letting him believe in that kind of junk made him pissed, they even have Mokuba in this hogwash!
"I am seriously tempted on putting those two into the loony bin if they even mentioned to me or Mokuba about that crap one more time…" Kaiba trailed off when the intercom in his Blue-Eyes jet made a beeping sound before it revealed to be the voice of Mokuba Kaiba, his younger brother, that spoke out through the intercom.
"Big brother? Onii-sama can you hear me?"
"I can hear you Mokuba, speak."
"Are you almost home yet? I have been waiting for you like, like ages, big brother!"
Hearing his brother whine adorably made him chuckle a bit as he let his mind made a mental push to force the thoughts of Yuugi and his magic bullcrap out of his head for a few minutes or hours or days or months, heck even years if that's even possible just to forget everything that has happened to him in a span of months.
Especially the one in California.
"Almost there Mokuba just wait a little bit longer."
"Alright, but you better hurry up! Cuz' someones here to you see big brother."
Seto's face went to stone as he spoke in a business like tone to Mokuba.
"Who is it?"
"A woman. She wants talk to you about making an alliance with Kaiba Corp." Mokuba's voice was sharp and hard just like he did when they are talking when it comes to business.
"Which company are we dealing with?"
"Pyramid Power Corporation."
Reborn pointed at the tower that has a giant double Pp, big enough for them not to miss. Giannini nodded his head at seeing the giant Pp's and went to land of a nearby parking lot, just a nick of time. Everyone who had been busy dressing and fixing themselves in their new expensive looking tux or dress suite while they are still on the air, didn't notice a little girl with blonde hair and wearing a blue dress waiting for them outside.
Once everyones presentable Reborn made a brief speech of confidence.
And when I mean confidence a short message of warnings and death threats, especially for Tsuna who is so easily to be pressured by it.
"Mina-san, I don't want you all to make a fool of yourselves when we met the Ninth Boss of the Millennium Family. Either make a one wrong move and get killed by the enemy." Reborn looked at everyone each in the eye. Some of them are brave and filled with confidence (Gokudera), confused and oblivious (Ryohei), happy and cheerful, despite the words of warning from Reborn (Yamamoto), ignorant (Lambo), uncertain and nervous (Kyoko, Haru and Chrome) and a nervous-wreck and to the point of hyperventilate (well, we all know who that is) as they all nodded.
Satisfied Reborn continues, "so act like the mafia that you are and don't show any weaknessess to them, no matter if they are our allies or not, there might be a possibility that they could betray us if they see any form of weakness."
His eyes were piercing and held with burning emotion that they couldn't understand what it is that they are feeling when they glance at those large black, blank eyes.
His gaze pinned down at Tsuna.
"Don't mess up Dame-Tsuna. Act like the Tenth Boss of Vongola that you really are." Tsuna flinch harshly as he nodded fearfully.
"Yes!"
"And if you fail in this delicate mission than you will suffer the consequence."
The dark atmosphere that had been hovering above them become suffocating, sucking the life out of them when they truly understand the double meaning behind those words. If Tsuna fails then his friends might be in grave danger, they are in the enemies (allies?) territory. He must be careful or else worse will become fatal to him and his friends.
"Understood, Re-Reborn." Tsuna stutters a bit as he suck in deep breath.
"Good." Reborn smiles suddenly as he motion Giannini to open the door.
Giannini opens the door at Reborn's orders, giving the Vongola Tenth and his friends a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry Jyuudaime, everything will turn out fine."
Seeing Giannini smile causing Tsuna to have watery eyes as he sniffs pathetically and gave Giannini a nervous smile.
"Thank you, Giannini."
Tsuna and his friends went down the last few steps as the door close. The bus revs up and rolls away leaving them alone. Well, almost alone.
"Good afternoon! Glad that you could make it on time, master has been waiting for you Sawada Tsunayoshi." The girl bowed her head in greeting, shocking the Vongola Family at the small but kind girl in front of them. They expected a buff man wearing a suite and glasses but instead they only have a little girl who will showed them around and lead them to the Leader of the Pyramid Power Corp.
The girl straightens up as she gave them a charming smile.
"My name is Alice Kingsmen."
"Please follow me. I will show you to my master." The girl, Alice turns as she went inside the giant building of Pyramid Power.
Tsuna uncertainly followed the little girl with his friends as they all went in. As they step into the building they were surprise and entrance at the structure of said building. It is like you are in a sci-fic world where everything is coming from that said genre. Different kinds of equitment that put Star Trek to shame as the Pyramid Power out shines the famous ship in the Star Trek T.V. series.
No one can describe what they see.
People passing by as they all busy themselves with work. Some of them took the time to stop and stare at the new arrivals but shrug off and went to their business.
Then something in Tsuna's head clicks, and it is not Reborn's gun, as he realize that something is missing or rather someone.
'Hiii! We forgot about Hibari-san!' Tsuna glance around to check if the Skylark Perfect is here and to his horror and disappointment he couldn't find him.
Reborn notice the fantric look on Tsuna's face as he jumps on his student's shoulder and give him a sharp and hard slap on the cheek.
"Yea-ouch! Reborrnnn!" Tsuna rubbed his red cheek.
The people, especially Tsuna's friends and their little host, stop and stare at the teacher-student with curious looks when Tsuna yelps again as Reborn kicks him with his heel of his sleek shoe on Tsuna's head.
"Stop your worrying Tsuna, your showing them what they wanted you to see." Reborn hissed at him in his ear.
"Gomen-ne but Hibari-san isn't here."
At hearing what his stupid student said Reborn's face was concealed with darkness, looking pretty pissed.
"Damn him."
"Reborn I thought you said that he will be here! But he isn't!"
Reborn didn't answer.
Seeing that her guests had stopped following her, she walked up to Tsuna and asked innocently to him with a question looking quite concern but curious at the same time.
"Is everything alright?"
"Oh no, it's alright we just forgot one member of our group." Yamamoto rubbed his neck as he laughs carelessly missing the glaring looks from Gokudera.
"You idiot, your giving ourselves away!" Gokudera hissed at Yamamoto who looked slightly confused.
"Really?" Yamamoto looking clueless as ever stared at Gokudera with that annoying smile of his.
Gokudera resisted the urge to punch that goofy smile off from Yamamoto's face.
Ryohei looking bored and out of place went exploring.
The girls were backing away just a tiny bit when they see a growing vein pulsing on Gokudera's head.
"You-you!" Gokudera snaps as he reach into his person to retrieve a dynamite in his fingers.
Tsuna's eyes widen when he sees that everything is out of whack and it is about to get messy when Gokudera lighted the dynamite with his lighted cigarette.
"Die you freaking idiot!"
"Gokudera! No!"
Cue the signature BOOM!
"Oh my!"
"Hahie!"
"Eek…"
"Gyahahahaha!"
As the smoke clears everything is all in a big mess. Ryohei returns munching on his choco-bar as he arrive at the scene, eyes gone wide to see the state of his friends.
"Oi! I extremly missed a great fight!"
"Onii-san." Tsuna murmurs as he coughs a black smoke from his mouth.
"I am so sorry! Tenth forgive me for my carelessness! I have let you down!" Gokudera's apologize couldn't be heard for they are muffled as he lay face down with Yamamoto on top of him.
"Now, now Gokudera-kun. That was fun bringing your fireworks but I think you over did it." Yamamoto laughs happily at Gokudera who turns his head to glare hatefully.
"I hate you… and get off of me you twit!"
From all of this they didn't notice Reborn went missing or that he returns with someone trailing behind him.
"Oh dear, oh dear, are you all alright?" Alice looked at them with concern as she and Chrome helped Tsuna up.
"Boss-u is alright?"
"I-I'm fine, thank you."
"Big brother! Where have you been." Kyoko went to her brother looking quite worried.
"Sorry Kyoko, but I was extremly hungry and found a vending machine. Look, food!" Ryohei showed his sister a choco-bar.
"Oh, that's good big brother." Kyoko looked quite relieve.
Haru, who was holding a hungry Lambo, tries to restrain him.
"Lambo-kun, urgh don't move! Hahie!"
"Me want some chocolate too!"
"Oi."
One word had all of them stop making any movements when they see a terrifying figure standing behind Reborn, looking quite irritated.
"Hi-Hibari-san!" Tsuna squeaks.
"Che, that bastard actually showed up." Gokudera stood up in shaky legs, swatting Yamamoto's hands that are reaching for him to help him stand up on his feet.
"That's great kid! You found Hibari-san." Yamamoto chuckles at Gokudera's antics as he once again slapped his prying hands away from him.
"Herbivores crowding in one place, move or I'll bite you to death." Hibari bared his silver steel tonfas threateningly.
"I found him standing in the middle of the streets looking quite lost, I guess Giannini didn't notice that Hibari is still there." Reborn spoke jumping on Hibari's head.
Hibari glares spitefully at Reborn but didn't say a word.
Reborn turns to stare at Alice who looked quite shaken up a bit to see a murderous aura emmitating from Hibari's form.
"Alice we're all here can you kindly please show us the way to your master."
"Ye-Yes, yes of course." Alice started to walk quickly heading straight towards the elevator that could fit all of them quite nicely.
"My master is on the very top so we must hurry. The elevator will take us there in no time."
At hearing her words Tsuna pales. Hibari plus everyone inside in a cramp elevator room equals being BITTEN TO DEATH! HIII!
Two steel doors closed leaving everyone surrounded with the murderous aura that is Hibari as he tries to suffocate them, knowing that he hated crowds he will make them suffer with his burning glare of hellfire.
They were lucky that he didn't bite them to death for the baby had promised him that they would have a great fight after this meeting.
Tsuna who is now petrified at this started to make a silent prayer to whatever deity that is up there that they could make it out alive from this and not get killed by Hibari's ever growing rage.
'Oh dear Kami-sama, if you hear my prayers please, please don't let Hibari-san bite all of us to death, literally!'
Tsuna isn't all too sure anymore if Pyramid Power will be still standing when there is a blood thirsty monster in the building.
Ring, ring, ring. The phone rang as Sinbad reach for the phone on his table with his vacant hand while the other was signing papers with his signature on it.
"Hello, Pyramid Power Corp., Sinbad is speaking. Do you wish to die and who the hell calls me?" Sinbad heard a chuckle on the other line of his phone.
Yes master it's me, your right-hand woman, Aurora. A familiar female voice spoke to his speaker.
"Ah, Aurora, finally you called." Sinbad puts his favorite pen as he focus on the call at hand (both figuratively and literally). "So did you follow my orders as instructed?"
Yes I did. I called and booked the White Horse for the Vongola Family as you requested.
"Good, good. Where are you now."
I am at Kaiba Corp. trying to make some sort-of partnership with the Kaiba brothers on letting our two companies work together.
"Hm, I see…"
In other words I am trying to see if this boy is the one right for your son as his Guardian.
A small smirk worms its way out, "my assumptions aren't wrong lovely Aurora. They are always right."
A sigh could be heard, that's why I am here to make sure that your right and see it for myself if he is fit to be one of the Sacred Guardians.
"Oh, he is the one alright. He is after all family and not the mafia-family but family-family."
… are you trying to say?
"That was in the past, a very far and long time ago."
I see, but I'll have to judge him first before I accept him.
"Do as you wish."
And by the way your wife called you.
"Oh?" Aurora could hear a light of surprise and excitedment in that tone as he reply one word to her. She smiled softly as she shook her head in a affectionate way towards her boss.
'Boss is still so much in love with his wife.'
She would like to inform you that Tsuna-kun will be visiting Domino. Then she laughs. Isn't it ironic, Boss?
"Yes, yes it is. We already knew that he is coming for it was I who requested the Ninth Boss of the Vongola to send his own grandson to Domino to meet with my son." He and his right-hand woman laughs at their private joke and how Lady Fate loves to mess with them. Clearly Lady Fate must have some sort of sense of humour.
And your father called too.
"Dad? What did he say?"
He met Tsuna-kun and Reborn and the others at the Burger World while having a meeting with Professor Hawkins and Otogi Ryuuji.
"Interesting it must be Fate's work then."
Believe so boss.
"Anything else?"
No that is all. How was my sister, Alice? Aurora asked with a hint of worry in her tone.
Hearing her concern he brushed her worries away, "oh don't worry she is fine. I am letting her in charge on bringing my guest to my office."
He briefly checks the small monitor that shows everything that is showing in his building. He first checks the screen on the right to show him the entrance, second, since seeing none, he checks the one on the left that shows the inside and seeing that it is fine except, Sinbad furrows his eyebrows as he squinted, is that scortch marks on his tile floors? He frowns but procceed to check the third and final one that shows the inside of the elevator.
The screen shows the video of the elevator where the Vongola Tenth and his friends are standing with fear and nervousness. Along them, is the Tenth Boss Tsunayoshi Sawada looking like he is about to faint as he tries to scoot away from the threatening figure that scowls darkly at everyone.
Sinbad amusingly raised an eyebrow at the screen before him. On top of the terrifying figure's head there is a baby sitting with a smug look on his face, as if he accomplished something worth-while as he glanced up at the camera that is hidden from them.
He gave the camera a smirk before looking away.
As expected for the baby to know where the hidden cameras are, he gave a small smile at that. 'Reborn must have known where the camera is but then again knowing him, he is after all the greatest Hitman of all times.'
His eye caught a little girl looking quite fearful.
'Hm, that could be Alice then.'
Boss are you sure she is alright with the Tenth's people? What I read from the files that you gave me regarding the Tenth's Guardians, one of them could be dangerous to her, both physically and mentally. Aurora's voice cut him off his musing.
Seeing the uncertain looks that she keeps on shooting at the scary teen, which he could've been one of the guardians of the young Tenth Vongola, made him chuckle slightly, albeit nervously.
"Don't worry about it Aurora, Alice will be fine."
All the Vongola except Reborn started to fidget at the heavy stare that the scary teen gave them. And suddenly, the door to the elevator slides open causing Tsuna to run first as if the hounds from hell were out to get him, which is partly true, as he runs far, far away from the elevator as humanly as possible.
Boss, if Alice has so much show signs of traumic experience I am so kicking your ass. The threat is clear as day causing Sinbad to sweat slightly thinking that she might actually do it.
Boss or no boss I am still doing it.
"I understand Aurora. Oops Alice is already here with the guests, got to go now, talk to you later! Buh-bye!"
Wai-!
Click.
As Sinbad puts the phone on the handle while wiping some sweat with his handkerchief, he could hear a soft knock from the main door, already knowing who could that be.
"Alright it's show time."
