The Vongola rang the doorbell, and to Squalo's relief, the doorbell went "Ding-Dong."

Leviathan opened the door. Tsuna, Mukuro, Hibari, Jeff and Jane stood in front of him. "The boss is that way." He grunted.

There was a black haired man sitting on a chair, who Tsuna said was Xanxus, and a man with long, white hair, who Tsuna said was Squalo.

"Hey, trash—AACHOO!" Xanxus sneezed "get that mutt out of here!"

"VOOI!" Squalo screamed "It's not our fault that you're allergic to dogs!"

Xanxus threw a glass of whisky at Squalo, and naturally, he got hit.

"Lively bunch." Jeff muttered. "You said this was your assassination squad?"

"Yeah." Tsuna replied. "That's them"

"A little too loud for my taste…" Jane commented.

"For once we agree about something." Jeff replied.

"You there." Xanxus glared at Jeff. "That mutt is yours?"

"Mm-hmm" Jeff nodded. "You better not have been hurting it. Or else." His eyes glinted sadistically.

A bark sounded from the far right. Jeff turned around to see what it is. A blonde man with his hair covering his eyes emerged with a boy in his teens, wearing a hat resemblent to a frog. They were carrying his pet Smile Dog, by its collar.

"U-shi-shi." The blonde man laughed, letting go of the dog. "This is your dog? You need to be a bit more responsible, ne? "

"You, the guy that just dropped my dog on to the floor, say I need to be more responsible." Jeff shot back.

The dog ran up to Jeff, who picked it up. The dog licked his cheek, as a way of saying 'hi'.

All of a sudden, the doors slammed shut.

"Bel-Senpai, is this one of your pranks?" The boy asked.

"If I did it, Fran, it'd be ten thousand times scarier than slamming doors, which are way too cliché for this prankster." Bel replied.

Then, a gas started spreading around the room, its tendrils curling up into the air above. Jane tried opening one of the doors leading into another room, but the door was locked. She cursed. "None of them are opening!"

Then everything plunged into darkness.


"Hidden cameras indicate that the enemies are sedated for now and ready for collection."

"Hnn? Is that so? Well done, Marco-kun. Is our game piece in position?"

"Yes, boss."

"Then, we are ready to play."
