Declaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.


Chapter 7

Go


I vanished with a single step and was down the hall, away from the control center room and to somewhere else. Then suddenly the building was shaking and floors began to move. What was going on?!

It seemed Irie was more then he seemed. I snorted and walked off, turning a corner and saw no one was there. No one seemed to be anywhere but there were different types of Flames everywhere I could sense, especially Thunder and Storm Flames down below me and some other Flames to the right and left of me. I needed to figure out where I needed to go...

Go where you need to go...

I blinked, turning around to find out who said that but no one was there, and blinked again when a sudden image appeared before me. It was a girl with green hair and a small smile on her face. She wore a big, white, mushroom-shaped hat with half of the emblem of the Giglio Nero on it. It also had a large black bar at the sides, with two orange stripes flanking it. She had a long trench-coat like clothing with the Giglio Nero emblem at the bottom right and left sides. Underneath, she wore a short blouse that reveals her stomach and wears a pant-skirt. She also was donned a black jacket to symbolize that she is part of the Black Spell. However, she wears a White Spell Millefiore coat over it. Around her neck was the Sky Pacifier.

My eyes widen, blinking for a third time and as if she was never there, disappeared as fast as she had come. Who was she? She was most likely the one who just talked to me. I heard a giggle ring lightly in my ear, covering it with my head. Could she not do that?! It was creepy...

Ru-chan...

There she was again. Could she not call me that?!

Ahh...

Ugh... I need to move on from here and I still didn't know who she was but the Sky Arcobaleno by the color of the orange Pacifier.

You need to go there, your friend it here...

Her voice rang in my ear again before any of her presence disappeared altogether until an image of a hallway somewhere in the building appeared in my mind. So it seemed I had a destination, now all I needed was to find it. I closed my eyes, feeling my Flame sense wonder and expand until it covered most of the base. I could feel the Flames of different people but none were the one I was looking for. I searched until I snapped my eyes open, feeling a grin spread inwardly inside me. So this was who the Sky Arcobaleno was talking about.

I opened my eyes, coming into my surroundings as I gave out a yawn. After all this, I was going to go take a nap and that would be that!

I let out a whistle, "The Sea knows no bounds. The Clam passes down its form from Generation to Generation. The Rainbow appears from time to time before fading away." Taking a step, I vanished from sight.


It seems that almost everyone else has arrived from the past other than a few. I watched as the Vongola Guardians and their friends was in a device, surrounded by nano-composite walls, making them unable to escape with sleeping gas inside of it. The Vongola Decimo got ready to fight but couldn't as he was threatened to exchange the he sleeping gas with poison gas. Soon they awoke with a push of a switch, sucking out the sleeping gas and try to break through the glass but couldn't.

"Resistance is futile. I've taken all your Rings and Box Weapon," Irie said as that was my cue to appear with all the Rings and Box Weapons in my cupped hands. I could hear the gasps, Chrome muttering my name but all I did was give them the same blank look I always had.

Irie explained that I was under his 'control' and told them that it would be inconvenienced if they destroy the machine when they said to ignore them and destroy the device. Irie then reveals that the Vongola's future selves are inside the machine, there was even me inside there. The Vongola does not believe him, saying that their future selves should have returned to the past due to the effects of the Ten Year Bazooka. Irie agrees with that but tells them that the device keeps them in the future instead of sending them to the past, in order to not cause a disturbance in the Tri-ni-set policy.

Reborn then realizes that Irie was the one who sent them to the future via the Ten Year Bazooka to which he agrees.

"But... Why?! Why would you go through all that trouble to get us in this time?"

"It's a simple story... For Byakuran-san to be able destroy the world in his hands and make a new world, he needed the Vongola Rings. In this world there exists a large number of rings with hidden powers of which we call the "Mare Rings", "Vongola Rings", and "Arcobaleno Pacifiers" which all contain a set of 7, a total number of 21 rings, Tri-ni-set."


It's been about three days since Irie and Spanner joined the Vongola and Byakuran somehow took the base. I had protected Irie when they wanted to 'vent' their anger on him and explained what Byakuran's power was. He says that Byakuran can only use his power in certain circumstances and that the unbelievable things that happened in their era gave birth to Byakuran's power.

The Millefiore Boss revealed the he already knew that he Irie betrayed him. He then states that the Vongola Famiglia and the Millefiore should have a battle, with the Tri-ni-set at stake. Irie asked Byakuran to reconsider, stating that he has lost 5 of the 7 Mare Rings. The other revealed that those rings were fake, breaking them, and that he secretly made a group of people that bear the real Mare Rings, the real Six Funeral Wreaths. Byakuran goes on to tell that he was looking for people with strong resolutions. Irie asks Byakuran what he was planning for the match, and Byakuran replies that he is going to make "Choice" real. Byakuran confirms that he will not be moving for ten days then said to me that he would get me with a gleam in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a tremendous explosion as the base was transported but we were lucky to have not along with the White Round Time Machine. The Vongola, along with Chrome, were given the Vongola Box Weapons from Irie.

Chrome had asked where Mukuro-sama to which Irie grimly replied that he took control of a Millefiore soldier, but was killed by Byakuran, shocking everyone. However, Irie followed up, stating that he didn't think so, as his name never appeared on the Vendicare Prison, much to Chrome's relief. That info he had gotten I would have to question him later on that. Chrome asked me to come with her but I told her to go on a head, which I would be here with Irie and Spanner if she needed anything. She gave me a nod.

I watched as Spanner and Irie work on the machine, glancing down at a diary entry in the journal that sat in my lap. It was actually about the Box Weapons and some history about them.

November 2, 2014

Box Weapons are small cube-shaped boxes that store powerful weaponry inside. Though they are called Box Weapons, few actually come in the form of conventional armaments and the most are designed after animals. The greatest assets of these Box Animals, as they are called, are the special abilities born out of the unique traits of the Dying Will Flames that serve as their power source.

Originally, the concept behind the Box Weapons was the product of the work of a biologist that lived four centuries ago named Geppetto Lorenzini. Lorenzini had the idea of building weapons based on animals found in nature. Based on that principle, he went ahead and designed 343 different Box Animals. However, these designs were ultimately regarded as Over-Technology, in other words they were inventions impossible to manufacture with the scientific knowledge of that time. Because it was an idea that would never leave the paper, Lorenzini's manuscripts were treated like garbage and stored away by a secret society that he belonged to.

Things would change only centuries later, when three genius scientists who belonged to the same secret society as Lorenzini found his manuscripts and gave continuity to his research. Their names were Koenig, Innocenti and the Arcobaleno Verde. The three discovered that the Rings that were passed down by the Mafia could serve as an optimal power source for the Box Weapons. With this breakthrough, they managed to solve the technical issues in Lorenzini's design and produce a prototype after five years of research. Soon after, they successfully perfected and manufactured the 343 Box Animals designed by Lorenzini. The three also researched and developed new types of Boxes, such as Storage Box and Boxes containing support items and conventional weaponry. Initially, these Box Weapons were introduced in the Mafia world when the three scientists started selling them in great quantities but at outrageously low prices in order to get funds to finance their research.

Boxes by Attributes

Just like the Waves and Rings, the Box Weapons too are classified accordingly to the Seven Flames of the Sky. In order to successfully open a Box and release the contents stored inside, it is necessary to inject the Box with strong enough Flames of a Ring with the same Attribute as it. Also, in the case of Box Animals, the higher the purity of the Flames injected, more of its latent abilities will draw out. On that note, Sky-attribute Flames are capable of opening any Box, but are incapable of fully drawing out the abilities of Boxes of other Attributes.

Sky Box Weapons

Sky-attribute Box Weapons are unique in the fact that they are predisposed to be influenced by the user's mood when opened.

Storm Box Weapons

Storm-attribute Boxes are usually oriented towards offensive abilities that take advantage of the Storm's Disintegration factor, but support-type Storm Boxes are known to exist.

Rain Box Weapons

The Rain-attribute Boxes use its Flames for covering its trail and defense but can be a highly constructed attack when needed.

Sun Box Weapons

Because it is difficult to employ the Activation factor for direct combat, Sun-attribute Boxes usually belong to the support-type.

Lightning Box Weapons

The Lightning-attribute Boxes use the Lightning Flame's Hardening factor for pure penetration power or tough defenses.

Mist Box Weapons

Due the Construction factor of the Mist Flames, many of the abilities of Mist-attribute Box Weapons revolve around Illusions.

Cloud Box Weapons

They fight with multiple enemies at a time and can expand rapidly at times during extreme stress or emotion.

I looked up at the two who had their eyes on me, I gave them my usual blank look. "What is it?"

"You are really different from the one we know to how you are now, Ru-chan," Spanner muttered, pulling out the stick from his mouth and took out another own made lollipops to suck on.

"People change with every person they meet, with every choice they make, and with every dream they have," I muttered, looking at them as I stood up and stretched my arms and legs from sitting in the same position to long. "My future self seems really close to you to, from all her writing about everything that has been going on in the past nine years. Do you both know... about me?" I looked down as my fingers curled around the Mammon chained, dual gray Pacifier that still was hidden beneath my plain black shirt.
