I think we've all gathered by now I update pretty slowly so let's just get on with the story. Sorry.

Lambo pressed his way forward through the shrubbery. It was cold and dark and he felt tired and weak, he'd been walking for too long in his childish form and it was all too much for him to handle. He stopped and sat down.

"Tsuna!" he cried, half expecting the brunet to appear and pick him up, take him somewhere safe and warm and make everything better. Because that's what Tsuna did, he made everything better.

"Tsuna!" he cried again, his voice breaking as he began to cry. He just wanted his family back, he didn't care about the time change or the famiglia that kidnapped him, Lambo just wanted comfort...and Tsuna.

"Tsuna!" he sobbed one last time before curled up into a ball, closing his eyes. He felt like a child again, a REAL child. He was overly emotional and constantly tired yet at the same time he had so much energy to burn. It was so troublesome.

A sudden mist drifted over the unsuspecting infant as a turnip haired man drew closer to the traumatized Lightning guardian.

"Nu fu fu, what do we have here?" Daemon Spade said, "A few straws short of a haystack aren't we? Screaming in the middle of a battlefield."

Lambo's eyes snapped open as he bolted upright. "Who are you?-!" he exclaimed.

"Calm down, I believe I can...assist you. Are you part of a group of teens?" Daemon asked.

Lambo's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

"Well then I believe you should come with me," he replied.

Lambo raised his arms to Daemon. "What?" the turnip haired man questioned as Lambo stared expectantly at him.

"Pick me up," the Lightening guardian stated.

"I am not picking up some unruly naked child," Daemon scoffed, a disgusted look upon his pale face.

"Then we're not going anywhere," Lambo said, staring down a man that was more than five feet taller than himself.

Daemon's lip curled up as he unceremoniously picked Lambo up from under the armpits and held him at arm's length.

"Child, you repel me in ways I just can't explain," Daemon elaborated.

"And you look like a turnip!" Lambo replied happily. He would see Tsuna again soon, he was going to be back with his family and they could rescue Ryohei together. Everything was going to turn out just fine.

Tsuna awoke to the feeling of light breath brushing against his ear, he rolled over before freezing in shock as he took in the site of the pale blonde man from last night sleeping in his bed. He blinked once. Twice.

"What are you doing?-!" he exclaimed.

The blonde's eyes immediately opened, shooting him and icy glare. He then proceeded to clamp his hand over Tsuna's mouth. The Tenth Vongola boss was about to start struggling but Alaude whispered sickeningly sweet into his ear, "Try anything and I'll rip out your innards, scoop out your eyeballs and feed the rest of you to a pack of wild dogs. Now go back to sleep."

Tsuna nodded meekly. This man was even scarier than Hibari! Before Hibari realized he liked Tsuna and decided to become somewhat of a stalker...

Alaude then moved his hand and promptly fell back asleep; leaving a distressed, entirely awake Tsuna, alone. The brunet sighed before closing his eyes and attempting to drift off... it was impossible! He was far too awake and wanted to get up and have breakfast and put some real clothes on!

Subsequently just when Tsuna was about to escape the confines of the blanket surrounding him and make a run for the door before the blonde could murder him said door was flung open and in strode Giotto, accompanied by Tsuna's companions. "Time to wake up~" Giotto said in a sing song voice. Tsuna shifted awkwardly under the covers. Oh dear, this certainly didn't bode well.

Alaude rose up from the bed like a satanic zombie, "Giiiooootttoooo, I'lllll killlll youuu," he groaned.

Giotto was slightly taken aback, "Alaude, what are you doing here?"

'So that's what his name was, Alaude' Tsuna thought, pretending to be asleep. He did not want to get involved in this. At all.

"I'llllll skkkiiiinnnn yoooooouuu," he grumbled, stumbling out of bed.

Gokudera's eyes darted about the room, "where's Tsuna?" he asked.

A crop of brunet hair rose up from underneath the blankets, "Ummmm, hi," Tsuna said with a smile, waving lightly.

"Indecent!" Giotto screeched, aghast, "Alaude, how could you?-!"

Alaude tried to shake himself out of his sleep addled stupor. "You idiot, I didn't touch the kid. I merely needed satisfactory residence for the night."

"You have a room!" Giotto scoffed.

"On the other side of the building. I needed residence immediately."

Hibari rushed forward, grabbing the light blonde man's collar. "You better not have done anything to Tsuna," he growled.

Alaude laughed. "The little kitten's showing its teeth, how sweet" he mocked with a sneer.

"Alaude, back down. You're not yourself in the mornings, especially after a mission," Giotto said.

"I am quite myself, I assure you of that, Giotto," Alaude cajoled, turning back to Hibari with a wicked smile.

Alaude raised his hand, preparing to strike at the teen who had challenged him. At the precise moment Alaude's hand was about to impact with Hibari's face -not that the ebony haired cloud guardian wouldn't have dodged the blow- Daemon Spade burst into the room screeching.

"SOMEONE TAKE THIS THING OFF ME!" he screamed, thrusting an entirely naked Lambo towards the group.

"Lambo!" the time travellers exclaimed in unison.

"Wait...you know that kid?" Giotto said, confused. These kids just kept appearing.

Lambo began to tear up before letting out a wail, "Tsuna! Tsuna, Ryohei's- Ryohei's been!"

The brunet rushed over to the infant, taking him off Daemon, who let out a relieved sigh, cradling the infant in this arms. "Shhhhh, calm down and tell me what's happening Lambo."

"Ryohei's been kidnapped!" Lambo sobbed.

There was a sharp intake of breath. "Where is he? Do you know?" Reborn asked.

"I d-do, I can could s-show you the w-way there," Lambo replied.

"Then we're going immediately," Tsuna said.

"Hold up a second!" Giotto exclaimed, "you can't expect us to let you go off into the forest to 'rescue' your friend."

"This is none of your concern," Mukuro scoffed.

Then all of a sudden the room was laced with tension. Giotto was not going to let them leave, he felt he had duty of care and therefore had to keep them safe. The blonde Vongola boss had no idea what they were capable of or how they could take care of themselves. Even the fact that they were ten years older than they looked was missing from his knowledge.

"Please Giotto," Tsuna begged, giving the Vongola boss his best puppy eyes.

Giotto's will visibly crumbled but did not subside entirely. "No, it's way too dangerous," he said firmly.

The 10th generation Vongola all shared looks with each other before rushing out the door. Tsuna pawning Lambo off to Enma, who was one of the only people who didn't seem to mind taking care of him. From behind them they could hear Giotto curse before the 'thump, thump' of several footsteps following them.

If Alaude, Giotto and Daemon thought it was going to be an easy chase they were in a for a surprise. The teens were deadly fast. Tsuna lead the pack, winding down the endless twists and turns, assured that the way he was going was the right way.

"Stop!" Daemon exclaimed, hot on their tail. The teens might be fast but they were in the fucking mafia, they'd done their fair share of running and chasing.

Finally the group reached the exit and Tsuna grabbed one of the door handles, attempting to wrench it open. However it wouldn't budge. "It's locked!" Tsuna exclaimed, frustrated.

The three adults soon caught up with the group of rebellious teenagers. "Now, let's all calm down," Giotto soothed.

Tsuna cleared his throat before saying in a sweet, calm tone, "How about no. Reborn, break it down."

The three adult almost laughed. Almost. The doors were huge, locked and built to withstand a two hundred pound man slamming into it. There was no way the black haired teenager could bust it open.

Next thing you know they were down one door and eight captives. "What the hell?-!" Giotto cried.

"They...broke the door," Daemon stated oh-so-eloquently.

Giotto steeled himself. "We need to move, now. Daemon, follow them and send out your illusions to call everyone back. When you find out where the base is send us the location. We're launching an attack on the enemy base immediately."

"Yes boss," Daemon replied, drifting into the shadows and disappearing.

"I hate when he does that," Alaude grumbled.

Twenty minutes later the group of time travellers were outside the Vongola's enemy base, formulating an attack scheme. They couldn't just rush in there, all power and no plan. Lambo couldn't even directly remember where the prison was; he said he was to frightened by the terrifying man chasing him to pay attention to his surroundings.

"Okay so, while Yamamoto, Gokudera, Enma and Hibari create a ruckus out the front, Me, Mukuro, Reborn and Lambo will sneak around the back, get into the prison, rescue Ryohei and get out. Simple as that," Tsuna instructed.

"Yes boss!" they agreed in unison.

"Box weapons are not permitted, no one has any idea what they are and they won't be invented for centuries so it's best to keep them a secret. Flames can be used only if you deem them necessary. Right now it's basic weapons and basic fighting, understood?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's go," Tsuna said with a smile.

As the first generation Vongola gathered in the main meeting hall, anxiously awaiting news from Daemon, Knuckle took it upon himself to ask a very important question. "Why the sudden change of heart?" he asked, "I thought you wanted to wait and plan boss."

Giotto sighed. "As many of you don't know a situation has arisen in which seven teens and a toddler have been found wandering around near here. They claim to have no affiliation to the mafia...or at least they haven't directly said they're part of any mafia group, so we took them in and gave them residence. They have now broken out and are on their way to rescue their friend who has been taken by our enemies. This is highly dangerous for them and taking down the enemy base will be dangerous for us as well. However it must be done."

"Seems troublesome," Lampo said, lounging back in his chair.

"You know you're coming to Lampo, we need all the man power we can get," Giotto said, "plus, your father encouraged me to bring you into situations like this. One day you'll have to take the Bovino family and when that day comes you have to be prepared."

Lampo rolled his eyes. "The old man says a lot of things."

Giotto opened his mouth to say something before noticing an Elanora's falcon perched on the window. That sneaky little shit. Eleanor was an ally of theirs that Daemon had a particular inclination towards. However Giotto didn't think he was Eleanor's type, the mist guardian was...missing some things she searched for in a partner and had too much of other things.

He opened the window, allowing the falcon access to Alaude's manor. The bird flew over and perched itself in the middle of the long table they were seated at, opening its mouth and projecting several image's that showed the route to their enemies lair.

"Excellent, Daemon. Meet us half way there," Giotto said to the Illusionary falcon before turning back to his guardians, picking up his mantle and draping it over his shoulders. "Well let's get going then."

The first generation Vongola rushed onto the scene, mouths agape as they stare at the destruction that lay before them. "What happened here?" Asari said in awe.

"I don't know but be on the lookout, whatever or whoever did this can't be too friendly."

There was a rustling in the bushes and the group abruptly turned, brandishing their weapons at the spot where the noise was coming from.

A brunet with a pretty face suddenly appeared from within the patch of greenery. "Thank god you're here!" he exclaimed, running up to Giotto, "we were so lost and we didn't know what was happening and when we got here the place was like this, so we went in and got Ryohei out, he was fine, but I think his fist might be broken and-"

"Tsuna!" Giotto yelled, stopping the brunet's fast-paced wave of words, "calm down, it's okay. Now, do you know who did this?"

The brunet shook his head. "Where are the rest of you?" Giotto questioned.

Tsuna turned his head, looking anxiously at a patch of bushes. "It's alright, you can come out now," Giotto said smoothly.

Then slowly the rest of the group came out from hiding. "I take it that's Ryohei then," Alaude said, pointing to the pale teen, sounding awfully bored. The blonde had expected a fight and was severely disappointed that someone else had got in first. They should have moved earlier, taken down the enemy while they were setting up base. Instead those insects set up a hive near their home, flying around and stinging the Vongola where they could. Though by the looks of it their stingers had been cut off and Alaude just hoped those pesky insects didn't grow new ones.

"Yes," Reborn replied, "he's also in need of medical treatment, he injured his fist and I suspect he's dehydrated."

"Allow me to tend to him," Knuckle said, going over to Ryohei and gently healing him with sun flames. The teens had to pretend they were genuinely surprised that there were flamed coming out of someone's hand.

"Wha-" Yamamoto questioned.

"-We'll explain later," Giotto interrupted.

"Speaking of things that need explaining later...why do Knuckle and that Ryohei kid look so much like each other?" Lampo said sceptically.

They all froze. "Knuckle, what in the hell did you get up to before you became a priest?!" G exclaimed.

"I-no I never did anything like that! Rather, why do you and that silver haired kid look so much alike, huh?" Knuckle retorted, releasing his sun flames and Ryohei's now healed hand.

G and Gokudera shared a look, "I look nothing like him!" they shrieked in unison.

It was like a sudden light had been lifted from their eyes and the group saw the drastic similarities between them and the teens in front of them. Sure, there was plenty of things different, but there was a frankly creepy amount of things that were the same or extremely similar.

Reborn sat back smugly. It was nice being him, he didn't have any past doppelganger for the group to link him to.

"Just who the hell are you guys?!" G bellowed.

"What? We're not anyone," Enma said.

"Shut up Cozart impersonator!" Daemon said.

Enma shied away from the first gen mist guardian. He'd never get used to him, not after all the trouble they'd been through fighting him in the future. 'Hanging out' with Daemon simply didn't sit well with him. Though he supposed it was just him, the rest of the group seemed to move on pretty quick from what happened. But not Enma. It was his family Daemon infiltrated, his family that was damaged the most and Enma just couldn't play buddy-buddy with a snake in the grass.

"Look, I think everyone's taking this a little too far. We're not your illegitimate children, we're not some sort of lab clones, this isn't sorcery. We merely share a fair few similarities," Tsuna stated.

"He speaks reason!" Asari exclaimed.

"Burn the reasonable witch!" G cried.

Tsuna rolled his eyes. This was going to be a long day.

Ah well, I hope you enjoyed dears.
