The Ritual is Completed: Yuni's Training Begins
After Yuma encounter with Kotori, he was defeated in a duel, causing Yuni's elimination from the Arcobaleno Representative Battle. The fallout of the Kotori's arrival will be felt be all the Arcobaleno. Reborn has called the other Arcobaleno to Yamamoto's Shop to explain the events.
Yuma: So Yuni whenever you're ready to begin.
Yuni: I understand your haste Yuma but you need to rest, you are completely drained and I don't think Chrome would approve of you attempting to kill yourself again.
Yuma: I did notice she's mad at me for some reason
Yuni: It could be that she's thinks you're selfish
Yuma: Selfish, why would she think that? Without her help Kotori would have killed me.
Yuni: I know what you were going to do Yuma, you were going to unleash all the limiters in your gloves and use the power to wipe you both out
Yuma: How did you?
Yuni: Were connected you and I, and I know what you're thinking, just like you know what I think.
Yuma: (Laughs) you're like the little sister I never had.
Yuni: Thank you but I believe you have a big sister that wouldn't appreciate that too much. (chuckles)
Yuma: Yes but she's more motherly and scolds me more often, you understand where I'm coming from and besides your too short to be my big sis
Yuni: Hey (Pouty face)
Yuma: Hahahaha (pats her head) don't worry Yuni; after we are done we will have to power to save everyone.
Yuni: How did you?
Yuma: Like you said we share thoughts. Now before I get yelled at by someone else particularly Tsuna I will go apologize to Chrome. I've seen lemons sweeter than Tsuna's attitude towards me.
Yuni: Why is he so angry?
Yuma: Same reason Gamma is, I'm too friendly with you.
Yuni: What?
Yuma: Got to go bye.
Yuni: Damnit! Yuma finish your thought at least.
Yuma went to the back of the restaurant to inquire about Chrome's whereabouts when he stumbled into the Arcobaleno meeting. At the meeting all the Arcobaleno were present except Yuni. At that moment the watches began to ring and Checker Face appeared to announce the current standings of the Arcobaleno Battle.
Checker Face: Good Evening teams, for many of you children it's quite late don't you think.
Reborn: Get to the point
Checker Face: Touchy, Okay as it stands Team Yuni is eliminated from the tournament, as well as three members of the Vindice. One eliminated by Tsuna, the other by Xanxus, and the other was eliminated by a combination of Yuma and the Eliminator; also Team Colonnello has been eliminated. Also just to show I am not such a bad guy, I will be suspending the battle for three days, to help you guys catch up on your injuries also to let Team Bermuda regroup.
Mammon: What could have happened to let the Vindice leader regroup?
Checker Face: You might as well hear it from me, my precious eliminator, in a fit of rage destroyed the Vendicare Prison and everyone in it to protect her loved one.
Reborn: Destroyed the Vendicare Prison
Checker Face: Exactly take that as an example of what happens when you defy my rules.
Verde: This is bad; this eliminator treats the Vindice as if they were a toy.
Mammon: The question is how we would know the eliminator none of us knows what she looks like.
Reborn: Well I know somebody who knows in fact he fought her isn't that right Yuma
Yuma: How did you?
Reborn: Yuma seriously, we all knew you were there, so how about you tell us who the eliminator is.
Yuma: The eliminator is the one I'm looking for Kotori Mizuki.
Fon: What type of power does she contain if she could destroy the entire Vendicare Prison?
Yuma: She is the Ouroboros Infinitia. Lucky for us she's not at full power.
Reborn: Excuse me, Yuma did you say she wasn't at full power.
Yuma: Not even close, I say that was only a fourth of her true power.
Lal Mirch: Then we must depose of her immediately, I mean she's just a little girl and against all of us she has no shot.
Colonnello: Yes, cut the head off the snake before it becomes too powerful for us to handle.
Reborn: We must handle this with caution; Bermuda has already paid the price for underestimating her.
Yuma slams his fist into the wall in anger.
Yuma: None of you will touch her.
Fon: Yuma, I understand your anger but our lives are at stake and we must take precautions
Yuma: I don't care if you are Arcobaleno or not, you lay hand on her, not only will she kill you but she'll never get the chance because none of you will make to her.
Lal Mirch: You overestimate your abilities boy
Reborn: Lal calm yourself
Lal Mirch: No, this boy just threatened all of us, because he held his own against his girlfriend and a couple of Vindice but I guarantee you that was his full power.
Yuni: Lal Mirch do not overstep your bounds, Yuma has as much right to voice his opinion as the rest of you besides he is right in one aspect she is his responsibility and his alone
Lal Mirch: I will not let this stand; this boy must learn some manners
Yuma: Lal Mirch I am asking you out of respect back off.
Lal MIrch: If could uncurse myself I would show you how weak you really are.
Checker Face: Hohohohoho, this is rich, okay I will allow a special battle to take place Lal Mirch will be uncursed for the duration of the battle and if Lal Mirch wins I will send Kotori straight to you guys and you all can fight her uncursed, but if Yuma wins the rules stay the same. Do you accept?
Yuma: Yes
Reborn: Lal calm down your handling this the wrong way
Lal Mirch: Can it Reborn the boy will learn a lesson. Besides I don't even think we can count on this boy to defeat this girl.
Fon: Why would say that?
Lal Mirch: Because that girl is very precious to him I would even wager that he loves her deeply and it's that very thing that would keep him from fulfilling his duties, he's young he knows nothing of sacrifice.
Reborn: Lal stop this I won't be responsible for what happens to you if you continue.
Lal Mirch: Start the fucking match already
Checker Face: Colorful, let the battle between the Corrupted Arcobaleno vs. The Phoenix Infinitia begins.
Lal Mirch: I'm going to enjoy pounding that smug face of yours into the dirt.
Yuma: …..
Lal Mirch: Well aren't we going to go outside.
Yuma: We won't have to
Lal Mirch: Cocky BRAAAAT!
Yuma smiled and appeared in front of her so fast that she fell to the ground in her shock. Yuma then reached down and grabbed her throat and began squeezing it. Lal Mirch struggled to release himself from his grip but it was useless.
Yuma: You're talking about sacrifice and my ability to sacrifice; you have no idea how much I suffered. I don't care that you were cursed into these forms because as far as I am concerned you brought upon yourselves.
Lal MIrch: (coughs) You, you don't understand (struggling for air), it wasn't fair what happened to us
Yuma: I understand a lot more than you know, how fair is it that you all live incredibly long lives but my kin dies the very instant she gets the chance to enjoy life. (tightens grip) Or how is it fair that the person I care about was raised to kill me since she was born or another person I care about was denied her chance to live by her own parents and given a chance to live through servitude why do I have to live through these experiences. TELL ME!
All the Arcobaleno stood silent as tears ran down Yuma's face, Reborn the moved behind Yuma and tapped him on the shoulder. Yuma looked back with raged in his eyes and saw Reborn with his hat covering his eyes. Reborn shook his head and Yuma without hesitation dropped Lal Mirch. Colonnelllo rushed to her aid.
Yuma: I'm sorry all of you
Reborn: Don't be some of it has some truth to it, Yuma go rest you earned it
Yuma: Thank you Reborn
Checker Face: How sweet, anyway seeing how Lal Mirch was defeated the rules stay the same, also I will hand three more representative watches to the remaining teams. See I am not such a bad guy. Adido Fenice, Arcobaleno!
Yuma: Damn I hate that guy; wait there was something I had to do.
Reborn: Yuma you were looking for Chrome.
Yuma: Right, where is she?
Reborn: For once I truly don't know she seemed pretty upset about something. Well give her time she'll pop up eventually. For now rest up, I don't think this ritual is going to be easy by anyone's standards.
Fon: Yuma before you go, I don't believe we actually met, my name is Fon and I heard a great deal about your martial art prowess from Reborn.
Yuma: Fon, as in Master Fon
Fon: Yes
Yuma: (yells) Wow, you're the real Master Fon; it is such an honor to meet you.
Fon: You heard of me?
Yuma: Heard of you, you are regarded as one of the greatest masters of all time.
Fon: (blushes) Well I wouldn't go that far.
Yuma: Footage of your fights is so rare, that it was impossible for anyone to teach your style. The only footage that was available to me was from Master I-pin.
Fon: So I-pin does realize her potential good.
Yuma: Excuse me
Fon: Oh nothing
Yuma: Thanks to you I got into martial arts
Fon: Really
Yuma: All the basic stances also my first signature move was your Exploding Lotus Kempo, I won a lot of tournaments with that move
Fon: How did you do that?
Reborn: He has photographic reflexes.
Yuma: So it's just a copy, I have never seen the real thing
Fon: You'll get the chance soon. It was pleasure meeting Yuma
Yuma: Same here. If we meet in battle I bet my Kattobingu on a good fight. Bye.
Fon: Kattobingu?
Reborn: What a weird boy right?
Fon: I see the benefits of having around Tsuna though very crafty Reborn.
The night came and went and all the guardians were exhausted, they were not looking forward to their school day. At that moment Reborn entered the room.
Reborn: All of you will not attend school today
Tsuna: Why is the next battle in the morning?
Reborn: No actually he's giving us three days to recover and I actually want you all to recover during that time. Also I want you to monitor this Ritual and Yuni's training as it will take three days
Gokudera: So we are on babysitting duty
Reborn: No, just Tsuna now return to your homes and meet back here at one.
Tsuna: Okay, if I'm babysitting where's Yuma?
Reborn: What do you mean where's Yuma he sleeping right.
Tsuna: No, he's not here.
Gamma: (breathing heavily): I can't find Yuni.
Reborn: That son of a -
Yuma: (Sneezes)
Yuni: Are you okay?
Yuma: Yea someone is talking about me.
Yuma and Yuni were on a train to the Namimori Shrine, and in Yuni's hands was a box holding the seven Mare rings, and the Seven Vongola Rings both of them chuckling on how they acquired the items.
Yuni: I can't believe Byakuran actually helped out with that.
Yuma: He's seems like a good guy besides it's not like he could do much anyways right now. Well it looks like were here. You ready.
Yuni: As ready as I ever will be, do you think Tsuna is going to be upset that we stole his ring.
Yuma: He'll find out in about five minutes, and I'm pretty sure Reborn will be here soon, I believe this is the furthest you been out with a boy that wasn't Byakuran or Gamma.
Yuni: Shut up and let's go.
At the top of the shrine, Yuma began the preparations for the awakening, he instructed Yuni to create a barrier around the shrine to prevent collateral damage. Yuma then painted several intricate tribal symbols of the elements on the ground. Yuni was amazed at his pace. Yuma concluded by marking two very large symbols across the shrine floor. On Yuni's side was a symbol of a phoenix erupting from an egg and on Yuma side was a phoenix with its wings caressing earth. Yuma then stood the symbol of the earth and Yuni stood on the egg side. Both of them extended their arms and the items began to levitate. The Tri-Ni-Set opened and the Seven Vongola Rings, Seven Mare Rings, and a manifestation of the Seven Pacifiers appeared to orbit Yuni. Meanwhile Yuma's Seven Orbs, Seven Plates, and Seven Gems orbited him. Yuni took a breath as the symbols began to glow and both Yuni and Yuma began to sing.
Yuni: 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.
Yuma: Shine! Aurora of the Night Sky
The Destructive power asleep in the Earth awaken thy true form
O young goddess of the indigo oceans opens the path not yet known!
Yuni: O origin of truth, come forth!
Blazing flames
Merciless gale!
Raging waves!
Flood of emotions, let loose
Yuma: O power that lies at the root of all creation, O memory inscribed in ages past, hear my call and arise before me"
Yuni and Yuma: This is the Truth of this World!
The ground began to shake and it appeared as if the earth was singing itself. The energies from the items began to encase Yuma and Yuni almost like an egg. At that moment Gamma, Reborn and Tsuna made it to the shrine but were unable to ascend the stairs. Yuni's barrier was prevented them from moving any further. At that moment a large explosion occurred at the top of the shrine and emerging from the explosion were two large phoenixes covered in flames. The phoenixes roared then descended towards the ground and disappeared.
Tsuna: What was that?
Gamma: Yuni
Reborn: They have awakened.
Tsuna: Awakened?
Reborn: Yuma is at full power now.
Tsuna: That's a good thing right?
Reborn: Let's hope so.
Yuma and Yuni's bodies were covered in a white aura and Yuma had golden wings made of pure energy as did Yuni, Yuma opened his eyes and Astral was awed by this image of these two.
Astral: Yuma are you okay?
Yuma: (to himself) I have it the Celestial Ki? (to Astral) Astral how's Yuni?
Astral: She's fine
Yuma: That's good. (Descends to the ground), well when she is ready will begin her training immediately.
Astral: Yuma umm Yuni is
Yuma: Yuni is what?
Astral: Just don't turn around
Yuma: Why? eh?
Yuni: YUUUMA!
Yuma: What?
Yuni: WHY AM I NAKED? Don't turn around; I'll kill you if you do.
Yuma: I don't know I guess the influx of power incinerated your clothes.
Yuni: Then why do you have your clothes on, Astral don't you dare observe me.
Astral: I would do no such thing.
Yuni: Give me your shirt.
Yuma: But I have to turn around to give it to you.
Yuni: Just hold it out with your hand I'll get it.
Yuma: Okay. (laughs)
Yuni: Shut up it's not funny. How was I supposed to know to bring an extra pair of clothes? Stupid Yuma.
As they descended the steps, Yuni was still complaining about the recent turn of events, even though Yuma was pleasantly ignoring her, their cheerful arguing was interrupted by Tsuna and company who found the recently awaken duo. Gamma was beside himself to see Yuni in such a suggestive position. Reborn quickly blindfolded Tsuna then charged at Yuma and placed the gun at his throat.
Yuma: I take it there was a problem with what I did?
Reborn: No, there was no problem at all, but please explain to me why me niece isn't wearing anything but your shirt, or did this ritual involve more touching than you let on.
Yuni: Reborn! Put the gun down.
Reborn: Yuni do not address me in that tone.
Yuni: I will address you in this tone since I am the leader of the Arcobaleno and I'd said so.
Reborn: (smiles) Well, looks like a little of Luce exists in you after all but sorry this matter is personal
Yuma: Her power was so great it incinerated her clothes. So now that you know the story please put that useless thing away, it has no effect on me anyways.
Reborn: Hmm, (walks away) let's see.
Reborn fired a bullet and it stopped directly in front of Yuma surprising both Gamma and Reborn, sadly Tsuna was still flailing around miserably unaware of the events transpiring. Reborn smiled at the prospect of having Yuma's powers on his team. Yuni removed Tsuna's blindfold and smiled at him. His entire face turned red after beholding Yuni's appearance. She smiled at him
Yuni: We'll see you guys at the dojo, let's go Yuma
Astral: You seem more authoritive than what I have observed.
Yuni: Because the first time in a long time I have a confidence and I thank Yuma for that.
Astral: Hmm.
Yuma: Well Yuni after you.
Yuni waved her hands then in a blink of an eye they disappeared leaving behind a loft of feathers in their wake. Gamma was still shocked at the entire event. Meanwhile Yuma and Yuni arrived back the dojo. Yuni was back in her traditional clothing, as she awaited her training from Yuma. Yuma was reaching around in his backpack which caused Astral and Yuni to inquire about his actions. Suddenly Yuma's wings appeared and a shockwave of energy radiated around his body. Yuni shielded her eyes from the light, when she opened her eyes she was in a completely different world
Yuni: Where are we?
Astral: Yuma what did you do?
Yuma: Oh, wow it worked!
Astral: What worked?
Yuma: My reality bubble
Yuni: Reality Bubble.
Yuma: Yes, Reality Bubble, it's a simple technique that martial artists used to train in the mind where they place themselves under heavy mental stress in order to increase their mental strength. Since you gave me the ability of Mist Flames I created an actual reality bubble, to twist and bend at my disposal. So thank you, also when Kaito finds out tell him thank you for this.
Yuma pulled out Orbital 7 camera eye.
Astral: How did you, when did you?
Yuma: I made a late night run, now let's see how this works. (Presses a button, panel opens). Wow this simpler than I thought. Astral come here your good at math.
Astral: Yuma are you sure you should be using this.
Yuma: Just trust me
Astral: Fine, what do you need?
Yuma: How many seconds in a day?
Yuni: one thousand and forty
Yuma: Wow she's good.
Astral: I knew that.
Yuma: Okay, now we do this and this get ready everyone Kattobingu!
A large flash of light and everything around them slowed down almost to a complete stop. The camera lens stated that a vacuum in time was created and it was set to a ratio of 1:100000(Or I day a second). Yuma smiled then he asked Yuni a simple question.
Yuma: Hey Yuni have you ever died?
Yuni: No
Yuma: Well prepare to die then
Yuni and Astral: What?
Back at Checker Faces realm, Kotori entered the chambers where she was staying, she threw her swords in frustration to the ground. She created another orb where the numbers began surrounding her again. As she faded into her slumber the image of Yuma being helped by Chrome.
Kotori: Why does she have does eyes? Why does she have the same look I do? She can't, she can't.
Checker Face: Is there a problem Kotori?
Kotori: Leave me alone
Checker Face: Don't be like that if you're going to save Yuma from his horrific fate you're going to meet me halfway, also I can't have my only warrior be a psychological wreck because of boy troubles.
Kotori: There is girl that was with Yuma I want to know everything about her.
Checker Face: Okay, that's better. Well I'll leave you to your rest then.
Kotori: Humph!
Checker Face: I couldn't have drawn this better myself, Shishishi I'm so giddy, Let me control myself.
As Kotori enters her slumber the reality around her becomes wavy as if she's in water, the image of Kotori reflected on this wavy surface was being observed by Jager and Bermuda.
Jager: So what are we going to do now?
Bermuda: Were going to get help
Jager: From whom?
Bermuda: The beings I used to hunt, also Jager send an infiltrator team to Checker Face and have them send a message to an old friend.
Jager: The message sir is.
Bermuda: Yuma is in trouble send help immediately.
Jager: Right away sir and what will we do.
Bermuda: We have three days to speak with Reborn but while I'll speak with Reborn I want you to test the strength of the Vongola Decimo.
Jager: Through battle?
Bermuda: I need him alive Jager duel him instead.
Jager: Very well.
Bermuda: (to himself) More than likely his little skirmish with the Ouroboros has caused him to awaken. (laughs) Looks like it's time for him to receive his final element Tsukumo Yuma.
Author's Note: Never thought this would have made it to ten chapters, well the fallout from Kotori's actions have been felt in force and now the true chess match begins. Bermuda reveals the secret of the Arcobaleno, Tsuna debuts his dueling skills and Yuni's training continues. All characters and powers belong to their respective owners. I hope you enjoy and have a nice day. Also I'm accepting any ideas for a deck for Jager be creative Thanks.
