CHAPTER 11
RESCUE THE LIGHTNING GUARDIAN
"A-Are you sure we should enter that scary gate?"
Tsuna and the three Arcobaleno were currently standing just outside a large dark green gate surrounded by lightening flames while 2 controlled lightning flame users with black masks and green clothes like those of an army guarding the gate.
"Of course, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn told the brunet. He changed his clothes into a yellow jumper and a white shirt. Colonello was in blue and Fon was in red jumpers. Each of them was hiding their individual pacifiers.
Reborn hopped onto the brunet's shoulder. The moment his body made contact with the teen's shoulders, he felt it. The teen was fighting his nervousness and he felt the petite boy tremble from time to time, but he didn't mind it as he noticed that the brunet's eye was filled with determination. And so he smirked.
"Now, Tsuna, take out your package and hold it tightly. It will become our ticket to enter."
The brunet nodded as he drew the small package from his pocket and inhaled deeply before they approached the guards.
"State your business." The lightning guardians stared at them like they were being dissected. Tsuna gulped as he looked at the 3 babies who were smiling so innocently at the cruel looking guards which made him sweat drop before gathering the confidence to speak.
"Well, a pleasant day on both of you, good sirs." The brunet spoke with relaxed facial muscles, showing no sign of fear. "We are here to deliver a package from Bermuda-sama." He bowed with respect as the other three followed his example.
"The delivery guy, huh. Where's the package?" one of the lightning guards asked him in order to verify the statement of the brunet.
Tsuna drew out the small package and showed it to the guards as he held it tightly in case would they attempt to steal the package from his hands.
Both guards were satisfied. One of them guided the newcomers inside the power plant. The area was wide inside. Like the former Vongola castle where Bermuda resided, the place was very quiet and you couldn't hear any cheerful sound.
The guard stopped walking as they reached the visitors' room.
"Please stay in this room for now while waiting for our boss." the guard said as he turned around and was about to leave, only to be knocked out by Fon who was wearing his usual clothes again.
"C-Cool." Tsuna muttered as he thought to himself that it would be wise not to make the calm and nice Fon an enemy.
"Let's go shall we." Fon spoke, bowing after knocking the guard unconscious.
"But we have no idea where we are going? How are we supposed to find the guardian?" Tsuna asked in a worried tone, only to get knocked down by his baby tutor.
"I have a map." Reborn showed the map that he was holding to the two other Arcobaleno. While the brunet was still flat on his face and groaning in pain, he complained. "I-Is this necessary?"
Reborn, with his usual grin, looked at the lying brunet with satisfaction. "Yes, because I felt liked it."
Tsuna supported himself to stand up and followed his baby tutor and the two other babies' lead. It felt awkward for him since older people normally lead the younger ones, but in his case, he was following the lead of a baby. Not just one, but three, which hurt his teenager pride. Though he knew that they were not normal babies, but it still hurt.
"What are you spacing put for, Tsunayoshi?" Tsuna heard a calm voice which made him snap out of his thoughts.
"F-Fon-san." The brunet stared at Fon, looking slightly confused as he looked on their current location.
The place was a bit narrow as he saw empty prisons which he absent mindedly passed by just a while ago. Then he saw a strange looking door surrounded by lighting flames with Colonello and Reborn already in front of it. Just by looking at the lightning flames, he knew that just a shallow touch could be fatal for them.
"How will we open that door, Fon-san?" the brunet asked worriedly while looking at the storm Arcobaleno, but he saw no signs of worry. Instead the baby smiled as if he wanted to say that it was going to be okay. Suddenly, the brunet heard the door open. He saw a small figure standing inside the sealed door and then he heard a child voice.
"Vongola?"
'Eh? Vongola? Does he mean the heir?'
"I'm sorry, but I think you've mistaken me for someone else." Tsuna spoke while scratching his fluffy brown hair. He heard the child sigh in disappointment.
He wanted to apologize since the person he wanted to see and be saved by was not here. It must have hurt. He opened his lips, only to be interrupted as he saw the child more clearly.
He was wearing cow like clothes with his afro hair and green emerald eyes sparkling the moment he saw the three Arcobaleno.
"Gyahaha! Reborn, I missed you!" The cow child ran towards the baby hitman, only to be dodged and he eventually tripped.
"Watch where you're going, Lambo. Kora!" Colonello, looking as strict as ever, went near the cow child as if he was trying to help him stand, only to find the cow child face facing the ground, looking hurt.
"That's not a warm welcome, you two." Fon said to his fellow Arcobaleno as he helped the hurt cow child who was already sniffling as if he was about to cry.
"Hold it in, Lambo." Fon sighed as he offered a roll of paper to the child. It was already used up after a minute. Lambo calmed down and looked at the unknown teen, standing not far from him. He walked towards the teen.
"Who are you, kid?"
The question made Tsuna confused. 'Why did he call him kid? He is the one who should be called a kid! What the hell is happening in this world?!' he thought. The kids around him were acting like they were older than him or something.
"Dame-Tsuna, he's older than you think. He's already 15 years old." Reborn explained to the confused brunet, which made the brunet nod at first and then…
"EHH! How did that happen?" Now the brunet sounded surprised with his brown eyes widened and unknowingly a dropped jaw.
"Well, it was because of my bazooka."
He was 10 years old when he was escaping from the previous Varia attack on the Sky nation during festival. He ran and ran deep in an unknown forest, using his bazooka as a shield against stray and intentional flames that were shot his way until he successfully lost the enemies who were following him. When he thought he was safe, he slowly walked in the deep and dark forest and lived there for years until he was captured by the Night nation. He was being escorted into his specialized prison.
"I accidentally tripped and then my bazooka suddenly flew towards me and then poof. Gyahaha!"
Because of an accident, he was shot by the malfunctioned bazooka. Then he was turned into a 5 year old, but his consciousness was still the same, a 15 year old Lambo, the Vongola lightning guardian.
'15? More like a 5 year old to me.' Tsuna thought as he sweat dropped.
"But don't worry, my dear friends. My bazooka is still here and if only it could get repai-"
"Sorry to interrupt your storytelling, Lambo, but we need to leave now while their boss is still not here yet, kora!" Colonello spoke, successfully catching all of their attention.
"Really? Then we should hurry before Levi A Than shows up!" Lambo happily jumped after hearing Colonello's good news, but Reborn became alert as he heard the name 'Levi a Than,' the man who killed the brunet's family. Sawada Tsunayoshi's foster parents. Tsuna didn't react to the name since he didn't know the name of the killer, but he was sure that Tsuna wasn't ready to face Levi a Than right now.
"Lambo's right, we need to hurry." Reborn spoke as he held his partner Leon and then shifted him into a gun. A sign that Reborn was facing a dangerous situation which made the two Arcobaleno raise their guard while Tsuna also felt the need to leave as if the danger was slowly coming towards them.
And so all of them ran as fast as they could, trying to find an exit for them to escape until they saw a small gate, they were able to see a glimpse of a wide area of grassland outside the city.
'Finally. A way out.' All of them thought, making them feel relieved, except for the brunet. He was relieved in a way, but his intuition was warning him and this time, it was much worse than before, giving him a little headache.
When they stepped out into the grassland, Tsuna's headache became more prominent as he held his hurting head. He winced in pain, making the group stop walking.
Reborn was worried, but he needed to be alert. It might be his intuition acting up. So he ordered Lambo and Fon to take care of the brunet while he and Colonello watched out for any signs of danger, but unfortunately, it came earlier than expected. Reborn's face turned dark and he stared at the brunet, who was finally relieved of his headache, but they didn't see the enemy yet.
"What a nice surprise to see three Arcobaleno, the lightning guardian and…What's this?" A guy in a black cloak with umbrellas behind his back spoke in a bossy manner.
"Levi A Than." Lambo muttered the name of the enemy, but it was unheard by the brunet.
Tsuna heard that voice before. A voice that he wanted to forget. But why? His eyes were still closed, but he could already feel his heart beat louder than before.
'A brat?' Levi examined the brunet's features. They seemed familiar. He tried to remember where he had seen them before. Then he remembered a certain scene when they made their surprise attack during the sky festival.
Yes. The poor couple that he killed and their son. He was about to kill their son, but then a strange light engulfed him. That's right.
"The tenth heir? Hahaha! It's a pleasure to see you. You did escape death 5 years ago." Levi laughed in a very dark voice which made the brunet's brows twitch.
Right now, Tsuna didn't care about what the guy was talking about.
Because what mattered most was that he found him.
The guy who mercilessly killed his beloved parents.
Tsuna clenches his fists as he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of angered amber colored eyes and not brown ones which surprised Fon who was beside him.
"I'll kill you." Tsuna with his face darken and stares at his enemy.
"This could be a problem." Reborn spoke as he stared at Colonello, it seems like the both of them were thinking the same.
But unknown to them, even Tsuna.
The silver ring that suppressed Tsunayoshi's flame suddenly had a small crack.
