They Both Awaken!
Tsuna put on the spare shirt Camilla brought with her as they walked down the hall in the building heading right towards Mukuro while also keeping an eye out for his gang, they had Lancia outside propped up against a tree and he was cured of the poison thanks to Camilla. Turns out her blood can cure any poison, lethal or non lethal. He knew that he had to focus right now but he couldn't because of the strange dream he had before Fuuta or Mukuro showed up. It was about Camilla but it was her as a child for some reason, he was in it to but he was also a child. He dreamed they were running around playing and having fun but then…something happened, something bad. He remembered crying over an unmoving Camilla then he was surrounded by orange, then…nothing. He woke up with tears in his eyes but wiped them quickly so Reborn wouldn't see them, he was glad to see Camilla was fine and that it was just a dream.
He gave her a side-glance seeing her calm face, 'I wonder why I had a dream like that? Does that mean I met her when I was little? That's not possible, right?'
She looked over at him, "You good?"
He blushed, "M-Mm, I'm okay."
Unknown to them Armino was staring at them both sensing something between them that would soon awaken, and he wont let Mukuro interfere with that.
Camilla stopped walking, "Here too, huh? The stairs have been destroyed."
"Mukuro's probably above." Reborn theorized, "There should be a set of stairs still intact around here."
"What do you mean?" Tsuna wondered.
"It's easier for them to defend this place if they limit the number of routes we can take." Reborn informed, "On the other hand, they've cut off their own escape route. Which means they fully intend to win."
"Their too confident, but we can use that," Camilla started thinking, "Gokudera should be able to handle Chikusa, just don't let your guard down and be careful of those needles. Yamamoto will be fighting with you."
"Tch, fine." Gokudera scowled.
Yamamoto laughed, "Let's do our best Gokudera."
"Shut up, baseball freak!" he growled.
"Armino can handle Ken on his own, unless you want someone else to take your place?" She questioned.
"I believe Bellona-sama can do it," Armino suggested, "Ken would be taken by surprise by her completely."
Bellona looked ecstatic, "Can I Cami-neechan, please?"
She smirked, "Fine by me, have fun."
"Yay!" she cheered.
Tsuna sweat-dropped, "I'm starting to feel bad for him…"
"Same here." Gokudera admitted.
Yamamoto laughed nervously.
"Meanwhile, me, Reborn, Tsuna, and Armino will be heading right towards Mukuro." Camilla said.
"That's fine." Reborn said.
Tsuna gripped his shirt, 'Mukuro.'
"Hm? There's a cellphone here, its broken." Gokudera picked it up.
"Ah, that's Hibari-san's! So he is here!" Tsuna said.
Camilla rolled her eyes, "He'll be fine, he's taken worse hits. He'll be getting right back up to get some payback so don't even worry about him."
'So cold.' Tsuna thought.
"As I recall his ringtone is Namimori's theme song." Armino remembered.
"What? Man, that's lame." Gokudera gave a look.
"I think it's nice." Yamamoto smiled.
"Anyway, we need to focus on finding some stairs first before we do anything." Camilla reminded.
"Yeah." Tsuna nodded.
They tried a different way but there were no stairs there either, "Not here, either."
"This one's also useless." Camilla said.
Tsuna opened a door to a different place and saw a ladder, "There's one!"
"An emergency ladder." Reborn observed.
"We have company." Camilla announced.
Tsuna heard the sound of a Yoyo and turned behind them seeing it was Chikusa who was waiting for them.
"It's him!" Tsuna said.
Camilla looked over at Gokudera and Yamamoto; both boys gave her a side-glance in understanding.
Gokudera launched his dynamite at him immediately but instead of making it explode it became a smoke screen.
"Juudaime. Leave this to us and go on ahead." Gokudera said.
Yamamoto got ready himself, "We've got this."
"Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto!" Tsuna said.
Camilla touched Tsuna's shoulder, "Let them handle this, let's go."
Yamamoto grinned at him, "Once this is over, we'll go over at my place and have some sushi!"
"Don't decide things on your own!" Gokudera yelled.
"I'll stay here too! I wanna play with the doggie!" Bellona said cutely.
Armino sighed.
Tsuna stared at them then nodded, "Let's go." They headed for the ladder leaving Gokudera and Yamamoto alone to deal with Chikusa.
"You let them go rather easily." Gokudera glared.
"I'm following Mukuro-sama's orders." Chikusa said.
Tsuna peeked his head in the bowling place, "Doesn't look like he's on the second floor."
"We can go up to the third floor from here." Camilla pointed to some stairs. Walking up the stairs they headed for the third floor and saw an old movie theater.
"So the third floor was a movie theater…" Tsuna said absentmindedly.
"Stay focused. Mukuro is nearby." Reborn warned.
Tsuna opened the door and saw someone on the bed sitting there waiting for them, "Is that…?"
"Yep, that's him. Rokudo Mukuro." Camilla informed walking inside dragging Tsuna with her slowly while Armino and Reborn followed.
She looked around, 'This place feels eerie, feels like its surrounded in something dark and foreboding must be an illusion.'
Chikusa sent his yoyo at then with the needles coming right out of them, but all three got out of the way in time. He tried again but this time Bellona used her giant hammer swinging it before her to get rid of the needles.
She smiled, "This is fun!"
"This isn't a game!" Gokudera yelled.
"Maa maa, she's a kid. Let her have some fun." Yamamoto smiled.
Bellona came at Chikusa quickly taking him by surprise by her speed, the hammer lit up with indigo flames, "Seigyo no Sakkaku (Illusion of Control)!" slamming the hammer into him it glowed before pushing him to the other side of the room knocking him into the wall. She swung it around laughing, "This is fun!"
Gokudera's eyebrow twitched, "She's having too much fun…"
Yamamoto smiled nervously.
"My turn now!" Gokudera declared, "Nijū Bakudan (Double Bombs)!" he sent double dynamite bombs at Chikusa who got up just in time but was heavily injured.
Chikusa used his Yoyo's to diffuse them.
"Not bad." Gokudera complimented, "But that also means you weren't looking down."
He looked down to see some bombs beneath him but was too slow to defuse them because they went off.
"My dynamo works best in enclosed areas. You lost the second you chose this place. Oh? Tough guy, huh?" Gokudera saw Chikusa getting up.
Bellona smiled, "Yay! That means I get to play with him again!"
Yamamoto rubbed her head, "Yep."
The door opened behind Tsuna and the rest to reveal Fuuta, "Fuuta! D-Don't scare us. We searched everywhere for you."
Reborn stared at the boy, as did Camilla and Armino.
"It's dangerous, so get behind us. Fu-" Tsuna reached out to him but was pulled back by Camilla when the boy tried to stab him, "What?"
Camilla held Tsuna protectively, "Just like I predicted."
Mukuro who was watching everything smiled, "Oh?"
The window burst opened and in came Ken who had his claws set on Yamamoto but Bellona smacked him away with her hammer sending him flying across the room.
"Wh-What?!" Gokudera yelled.
The smoke cleared and Ken got up slowly, "Damn, what the hell was that?!"
Bellona giggled, "It's the doggie! Yay, I finally get to play with the doggie!"
"Who the hell are you calling a doggie, brat?!" Ken yelled.
Bellona came at him slamming the hammer down where he just was having got out of the way in time, "What the hell?!" he yelled.
She pouted, "Why are you running away? Don't you wanna play with me?"
Ken got a shiver up his spine, 'Wh-What's with this brat? She's not normal! My animal instincts are telling me to run away! Why? Why am I scared of a mere brat?!'
"Hey doggie, why won't you fight back? I said I want to play with you so let me play!" Bellona smiled innocently holding her hammer in the air with one hand.
Ken was sweating so much he probably made his own puddle, 'Th-This brat…she's inhuman!'
Bellona's innocent smile wasn't so innocent anymore as she looked like one of those kids from the horror movies, "That's too bad…I really wanted to play with you a little longer, but I gotta go now," she grinned having gotten close to him already and made her move, "Itami no Sakkaku (Illusion of Pain)." Slamming her hammer right in his gut he cried out in pain then fell to the ground his body twitching as his veins looked like they wanted to come bursting out. He was rolling on the floor still screaming.
"Ken!" Chikusa yelled.
Gokudera and Yamamoto stood there in complete shock, they saw her beat M.M like it was nothing but seeing this made them almost positive she was holding back. After for what felt like an eternity Ken stopped screaming and passed out with tears in his eyes just like what happened to M.M.
Bellona smiled and bowed, "Thank you for fighting me doggie, but I gotta go now. When we meet again we'll play some other time, okay?" she walked over him and headed over by the ladder waving at the three speechless boys, "Bye bye." She climbed up the ladder leaving them there in complete and utter shock.
"What the hell…was that…?" Gokudera finally spoke.
Yamamoto shook his head, "I don't know…but shouldn't we focus on fighting that guy?"
Gokudera snapped out of it and looked over at Chikusa, "Right!"
Tsuna looked up at Camilla, "Camilla-chan, what's wrong?"
"He's being controlled." Reborn said.
"N-No way…" Tsuna said in disbelief.
"I'm afraid its true Sawada-san," Armino said calmly, "Mukuro is able to control and manipulate people."
"Like he did with Lancia." Camilla reminded.
Tsuna remembered the horrified look on Lancia's face and couldn't believe Mukuro would go this far, "Then Fuuta is…"
"Locked away somewhere deep within his mind." Armino informed.
"Fuuta's feeling guilty because of everything that happened." Camilla added moving Tsuna away and over by Armino.
Fuuta came at them but Camilla was faster and grabbed him by the back of his collar letting him dangle as he was fighting in her grasp, "You can do that all you want but it won't change anything."
Armino sweat-dropped, "Do you have to hold him like that?"
She raised a brow, "Would you rather I punch him in the gut or chop him in the back of the neck?"
"Point taken."
Tsuna approached the flailing Fuuta with a sad look, "Fuuta…it's not your fault."
Possessed Fuuta stopped flailing and cried dropping the weapon before passing out in Camilla's grasp, she set him down on the ground gently, "Poor little guy." She rubbed his head as Tsuna bent down in concern.
Mukuro who had been quiet finally spoke, "You had to stick your nose where it doesn't belong, and now he crashed."
"What?" Tsuna said.
"He didn't crash, he's just tired," Camilla revealed dark circles under his eyes, "See these dark circles? He looks he hasn't slept for awhile now."
"That's correct. He's barely gotten any sleep over the past ten days. Thinking back he was quite a handful. We came to Japan to learn the whereabouts of Vongola X, but we had no leads. So we asked Fuuta-kun, who was rumored to be an acquaintance. He invoked Omerta and kept his mouth shut." Mukuro smiled.
'The code of silence, Omerta…' Tsuna thought sadly.
"Even after I took control of his mind, he wouldn't say anything about the Vongola. Very impressive." He said.
'More like sick.' Camilla thought.
"So you had no choice but to use the Namimori combat ranking to flush out Tsuna and his family." Reborn theorized.
"The scheme was a huge success. As you see, the Vongola boy is here." Mukuro smiled which soon vanished when a rock whizzed past his head smashing the wall behind him. He saw it was Camilla, "Oya? Have I made you upset?"
"Not really, I'm not in the mood to hear you speak right now. By the way, Ken and Chikusa have already been taken out and my little sister as well as Hibari, Yamamoto, and Gokudera are on the way." Camilla informed calmly.
"Ah, I knew I heard a loud piercing scream from somewhere. That must've been her." Armino commented.
Camilla shrugged.
Tsuna wasn't happy, "You abused an innocent boy like Fuuta…Rokudo Mukuro! What do you take people for?!"
"Toys, I suppose." Mukuro said.
"Don't give me that crap!" Tsuna yelled.
"Armino!" Camilla yelled.
Armino was already in front of Mukuro with his kunai in hand infused with electricity electrocuting the couch and not the person himself, "An illusion, how like you."
"Kufufu, your part of the Takemikazuchi clan are you not?" Mukuro inquired.
"Indeed I am, I am also Camilla-sama's cousin." Armino had another kunai in hand.
"Why do you treat her like family? Their clan looked down on you." Mukuro smiled.
'Watch it Mukuro.' Camilla thought.
"Camilla-sama, nor my other cousins have treated me badly in any way. They consider me family, which is what I am. Sawada-san and his friends are also a part of that family, and I will exterminate anyone who hurts them be they friend or foe." Armino's eyes glowed blue.
Tsuna saw this, "His eyes are glowing…"
"While our eyes glow yellow theirs glow blue. Strange huh?" she smiled.
Mukuro materialized his trident, "I see." His red eye became a number and the building started to come apart but Camilla grabbed Tsuna's arm and stayed steady as did Armino and Reborn.
"Camilla-chan, what is this?" Tsuna questioned.
She sighed, "An illusion." She slammed her foot down dispelling it.
"Eh? But all you did was slam down your foot." Tsuna looked around confused.
"If I perceive and know it's not real then it has no effect on me. You see Armino over there right? Illusions don't work on him either." Camilla explained.
"I'm impressed you saw through it." Mukuro complimented, "The first realm, Naraka…destroys a person mind with unending nightmares." he explained.
"Seriously?" Tsuna was taken back.
"Yep." Camilla said giving Armino a look making him come back over to their side.
"I'm impressed, this is the first time I've seen an Asura." Mukuro commented.
"Is that so?" Camilla deadpanned.
"Kufufu, mind telling me why you're here?" he asked.
"Nope. Any other time I would, but I'm not in the mood to sit down and have some tea and crumpets with you right now." Camilla crossed her arms.
"Tea and crumpets?" Tsuna sweat-dropped.
"I've also learned the relationship between Vongola X and the Arcobaleno. He is your supervisor, correct?" Mukuro inquired.
"Your wrong." Reborn spoke up, "I'm Tsuna's…Tutor."
Camilla smiled, "That you are."
Armino nodded.
"Kufufu, I see. That's a unique relationship. But the teacher won't attack me? I don't mind taking you both on." Mukuro said.
"That's the rule." Reborn told him.
"Hiding behind rules, are you? An answer I would expect from an upright Mafioso." He said.
"Besides that, my student will be able to defeat you without any help from me." Reborn stated.
"I'll give some support, but that's all." Camilla added.
"Oh? What a beautiful display of trust. Very well." Mukuro's eye turned to number "three."
Camilla grabbed onto Tsuna again much to his surprise seeing the area round them change making her sigh, 'I remember this one.'
"This is also an illusion?" Tsuna questioned.
"Yep, oh by the way, I better move you out of the way." Camilla said picking him up and jumping to the other side as dynamite appeared caused and explosion.
"What was that?" Tsuna wondered.
"Gokudera, Yamamoto, Bell, and Hibari are here." Camilla smiled.
"Sorry, I'm late." Gokudera said.
"Yo, Tsuna!" Yamamoto grinned.
"Tsuna-nii!" Bellona smiled running over to them
"Hibari-san! Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto! Bell!" Tsuna cried out in happiness.
Camilla smirked, "You look like hell Hibari."
"Hn."
Armino smiled.
"See, Mukuro? Tsuna isn't the only one I'm training." Reborn smiled.
Mukuro didn't look pleased, "I see the audience members are joining in. What could Chikusa be doing?"
Gokudera smirked, "The four-eyed freak is taking a nap with the animal freak downstairs."
Yamamoto laughed, "Hibari came in and took Chikusa down!"
"I beat up the doggie!" Bell smiled.
"D-Doggie…?" Tsuna stuttered.
"She means, Ken." Camilla rolled her eyes.
"I see." Mukuro said.
Camilla smirked, "I told you they took them down, did you think I was lying?"
"You predicted they would be defeated?" Mukuro inquired.
"Who knows?" she responded.
Hibari raised his tonfas, "Are you ready?"
"So scary. But don't interfere with the Vongola and me. Besides, you should barely be able to stand. Since you've broken a number of bones." Mukuro stated.
'Hibari-san went through that?' Tsuna looked horrified.
Camilla snorted, "You don't know Hibari as well as you thought Mukuro, it takes a lot more than some broken bones to keep him down. He's not known as the Demon Perfect just for his scary looks, y'know."
Hibari faced Mukuro, "Are those your last words?"
"You say amusing things. I have no choice. I'll eliminate you first." His red eye turned to the number "four" and glowed indigo, "I'll make it quick." He charged at Hibari who blocked it and they came at each other with the intent to kill.
Tsuna stared at them, "They're so fast I can't see what's going on."
"This is entertaining." Camilla sat down cross-legged.
"Camilla-chan…" Tsuna sighed.
Hibari blocked his attack, "How do you define quick?"
"Hn." Mukuro grinned as they both got away from each other.
"Hibari-san's strong." Tsuna stared.
"Your stronger." Camilla gave him an honest look.
"Don't underestimate these guys, Mukuro. They're developing much faster than you think." Reborn told him.
"I see that you're right. If he wasn't injured, it may have been difficult to judge the outcome of this match." Mukuro admitted.
Hibari's side was bleeding but he was still standing.
"Hibari-san!" Tsuna cried.
"Don't push yourself, you'll fall down." Camilla warned.
"Your gonna fall down, Perfect-san!" Bell repeated.
"It's a waste of time. I'll end this quick." Mukuro's red eye became "one" and he tried to use the same tactic as last time but Hibari saw through it this time and whacked him sending the illusionist flying.
"He did it." Tsuna smiled.
"He got his payback." Camilla stated.
"Man, and he get's to steal the show." Gokudera pouted.
Yamamoto laughed, "It's fine right?"
Tsuna saw the downed Mukuro, "I-It's over…we can go home now!"
Camilla, Armino, and Bell weren't too sure about that. There was a thump and they saw Hibari had fallen over.
"Oh no! Hibari-san! Are you okay?" Tsuna ran over to him.
"Moron pushed himself just so he could get some payback." Camilla sighed.
"He was fighting on pure instincts by the end. He must've been upset losing the first time." Reborn stated.
"We should get him to the hospital!" Tsuna said.
"You won't need to."
Camilla sighed, 'Knew it.'
Mukuro was standing up holding a pistol in hand, "Because there won't be any survivors."
Gokudera got in front of Tsuna, "Bastard!"
Camilla already knew what was going to happen so she just waited.
"We shall meet again…Arrivederci." Mukuro grinned pointing the gun to his head shooting himself.
"H-He actually did it…" Gokudera stared.
"No way…why would he do that?" Tsuna questioned then felt something, 'What is this feeling? I've got a really bad feeling about this…'
Camilla pulled Tsuna away from Gokudera quickly taking him by surprise, "C-Camilla-chan?"
She stared at the silver bomber, 'So it's started.'
Tsuna looked over at Gokudera and felt it, "Rokudo…Mukuro."
Gokudera laughed, "We meet again." His right eye becoming red.
"I-It's him!" Tsuna cried.
"I still have some business to take care of. So I returned from the depths of hell." Possessed Gokudera chuckled.
"This is bad." Reborn said.
"It is." Armino agreed.
"It's not mind control this time." Camilla said.
"Nope, it looks like he's been possessed outright." Reborn said.
"Is that even possible?" Yamamoto asked.
"It's true." Reborn said.
"What are you talking about? It's just plain me." Gokudera smiled.
"Nice try, but I can sense it's you in there and not Gokudera." Camilla observed.
"Likewise." Armino got out his kunai.
Bell got out her hammer, "Bring Hayato-nii back…or I'll smash you!"
Tsuna could see they were right, 'Camilla-chan's right, that's not Gokudera-kun.'
"The one thing it could be…no, wait." Reborn was talking to himself.
"So who should I start with?" Possessed Gokudera wondered.
Armino was in front of Possessed Gokudera and punched him in the gut, "D-Damn you…!" he passed out.
"Was that necessary?!" Tsuna yelled.
"Yes." They all said making him sweat-drop.
Tsuna looked to his left and saw Yamamoto's right eye became red, "Yamamoto…Mukuro!"
Camilla pulled him out of the way, "He can switch from person to person."
"Oh, you can detect me at a single glance? Impressive, this is the first it's happened." Possessed Yamamoto smiled.
"He made it look like he shot himself when he really used that bullet." Reborn said.
"The Possession Shot." Camilla hit the nail on the head.
"How did you get hold of it?" Reborn demanded.
"So you two figured it out? That I used a special bullet?" Possessed Yamamoto smiled.
"Like the Deathperation Shot." Tsuna spoke up.
"Yes. As the name suggests, the Possession Shot allows you to control another person's body." Reborn informed.
"What? Is that what happened to Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto?" Tsuna questioned.
Camilla spoke this time, "The Estraneo Family developed it. But to actually use it, you need a powerful will along with compatibility with the shot."
Possessed Yamamoto laughed, "Its compatibility with me is perfect."
"The Possession Shot was abused terribly which led the Mafia to ban it long ago." Reborn continued, "The existing shots as well as the manufacturing should have been destroyed."
Possessed Gokudera laughed, "I've taken over every part of him, in other words this body is mine."
"This is the same weapon that ruined Lancia's sense of his own identity, isn't it? Why do you have it?" Reborn inquired.
"Let's just say that it's mine. Now, it's your turn to be possessed Vongola X." Possesses Yamamoto said.
"So that's your plan." Reborn said darkly.
"He wants revenge." Camilla said.
"Revenge?" Tsuna looked at her.
Possessed Yamamoto tossed the trident end over at Possessed Gokudera and he scratched Hibari. He then took over Hibari's body and came at Tsuna but Camilla blocked it with one hand, "Did you forget I was still here?"
Possessed Hibari then fell to the ground, "Oh, it appears this body is of no use. To think he was fighting in this…What a terrifying man Hibari Kyoya is…but I can use another possessed body." He looked at Camilla who had a scratch on her wrist.
"Camilla-chan!" Tsuna yelled.
Armino put a hand on his shoulder, "Wait."
"Eh?" Tsuna looked at him.
Possessed Hibari became unconscious so he could take over Camilla but once he was inside her mind he found himself surrounded in red.
Mukuro looked around, "Where is this?" he heard a child's laughter and saw Camilla as a child playing in the sand by herself laughing still surrounded in red. He walked over to her about to put her to sleep when an orange flame appeared before him making him stop in his tracks, "Oya? What's this?" the flame punched him right in the face sending him away from her. He got up slowly and stared at the orange flame as it took the form a young boy he already know, "Vongola X…?"
"Get out…" The boy glared.
Mukuro was stunned.
"GET OUT!" He yelled using the flames to push him out.
And just like that he was kicked out of Camilla's mind making the girl stumble a little but she caught herself, "Whoa, that was trippy."
Tsuna went over to her, "Camilla-chan, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But that felt weird." Camilla admitted.
Reborn stared at her, 'For a split second I felt Sky Flames…it kicked Mukuro out.'
Possessed Gokudera and Yamamoto got up, "I see, so that's how it is."
Camilla raised a brow at him, "Huh?"
"It would appear he marked you, then that means you've done the same as well. Meaning I can't possess either of you." Possessed Gokudera frowned.
Armino narrowed his eyes, 'So that's what happened. The Sky Mark kicked him out because he was intruding.' He looked down at Leon, 'Just a little longer and they can both awaken.'
"By the way Ken and Chikusa are on their way too." Camilla announced. The door opened and in came Ken and Chikusa who were also possessed.
"I've never heard of anyone able to possess four people at once." Reborn commented.
Bell smiled, "I get to play with doggie again!"
"Yes yes, play to your hearts content." Camilla deadpanned.
Bell came at both Ken and Chikusa slamming her hammer down as the two of them jumped in the air to dodge, "Quite the interesting one aren't you?" Possessed Ken commented.
Bell got in his face much to his surprise and slammed him down to the ground hard and landed on top of him still smiling, "You can't fight anymore so I'll go play with Megane-san." She ran over towards Chikusa who used his yoyos but she merely spun her hammer knocking them away and slamming the hammer into him too knocking him into a wall, "All done!"
Possessed Gokudera and Yamamoto stared at her, "Such strength...What a frightening child."
Bell smiled at them both, "I can't play with you because Cami-neechan said not to!"
Tsuna still couldn't believe she took out two opponents at once, "She took them down like it was nothing…"
"You get it now? That's one kid you don't wanna piss off." Reborn commented.
"Oh yeah." Camilla and Armino agreed.
Leon then started glowing green but that means it's time, "It's time." Reborn announced.
Armino understood and brought Leon closer to Tsuna, "Sawada-san, as soon as Leon is done take the gift he gives you."
Tsuna nodded, "R-Right."
"Like I'd let you!" Possessed Gokudera came them but Bell used her palm to push him back.
"Don't interfere!" Bell said seriously.
Leon transformed and gave Tsuna white gloves with the number "27" on them, "What are these? Gloves?" he then noticed the number 27 and thought back to the chocolate Camilla gave him, 'That's what she meant.'
Tsuna put the gloves on but something inside and plopped it out, "A white bullet?"
"Hand it over, Tsuna." Reborn told him.
Tsuna gave him the bullet as Leon returned to normal and became a pistol, "Keep those gloves on."
Tsuna nodded.
Reborn shot Tsuna right in the forehead as he was falling down and was caught by Armino memories came surging through his head of his childhood where he met a girl that looked like Camilla, how they played together, and how she risked her own life to save his making him cry then he was surrounded by orange and she opened her eyes. An orange flame burst from his head and he got up slowly.
Camilla smiled, 'There it is…Hyper Dying Will.'
Tsuna's face was completely calm as he stood up and looked directly at Camilla who blinked back at him.
"That flame on your head. I see…so you've awakened into a new fighting mode." Possessed Chikusa stood up along with Possessed Ken, "But when you fought Lancia, you seemed fiercer."
"The Criticism Shot drew out Tsuna's quiet fighting spirit. Its completely different from the Deathperation Shot. That bullet holds a completely new power within it." Reborn explained.
Tsuna went over to Camilla standing before her, "What's wrong…?" he brought both hands up putting them on each side of her head, "Uh, Tsuna? Your kinda freaking me out here."
Possessed Chikusa chuckled, "In my opinion, it just looks like you've gone wimpy on me. Anyway, no one can match my skills."
Possessed Ken came at them but Tsuna grabbed his face with one hand kicking him in the gut sending him far away from them.
"I'm not done yet." Possessed Chikusa used his yoyos and sent needles at them but they both stood still.
'That one's an illusion,' Looking over to the side he sensed where he really was, 'There he is.' He came at him punching him right in the face knocking him down.
"What?!" Possessed Gokudera said, "No way."
"He shouldn't have been able to see through the Naraka's illusion." Possessed Yamamoto said.
Reborn smiled, "It's because he's awakened the Blood of Vongola within him. Super intuition."
"Super Intuition?" Possessed Gokudera repeated.
"Just like the first Vongola Boss was said to also have it. The power to see through everything." Reborn added, "Even though he still doesn't know how to use the gloves though."
Tsuna went back over to Camilla who stood completely still and let him bring their foreheads together making her blink, "Huh?"
"Now…its your turn." Tsuna said calmly making his sky flames pour into her.
Her eyes widened, 'Wait, what's going on here?'
Reborn watched himself, 'I see, he's awakening her flames.'
Armino stared, 'It's begun.'
Camilla's forehead became turquoise and it burst out surrounding her whole body, 'What's happening? It's like I'm remembering something from the past…' she saw it though a little boy looking exactly like Tsuna playing with her and she protected him from getting seriously hurt, then she saw him be surrounded in turquoise colored flames like she became surrounded in orange flames. This memory…how could she forget about it?
Opening her eyes the flame on her forehead disappeared and she smiled, "I'm surprised I could forget about that."
Tsuna smiled, "You remember."
"Yeah, but to be fair I took a serious blow to the head." She smirked.
He smiled, "Ready?"
Camilla activated her weapon, "Let's play."
Possessed Gokudera chuckled, "You're getting pretty interesting. But even if you can see through my attacks, you'll never defeat me you haven't forgotten have you? That these are the bodies of your friends? Can you attack them." He came at Tsuna but found himself dangling in the air, "What?"
Camilla smirked, "Tsuna isn't fighting alone. I'm right here with him." She did the same to Possessed Yamamoto.
"Impossible! When did you?" Possessed Yamamoto wondered.
"This place is pretty dark thanks to you, so you wouldn't have seen it. The wires I wrapped around your bodies." She smirked.
"Wires?" Possessed Gokudera looked to see that there were indeed wires wrapped around him.
"Armino, do it." She ordered.
Armino moved quickly putting seals on both boys foreheads preventing them from being possessed again, "These are special seals from the Asura clan, they prevent possession of any kind." Both bodies went limp and Camilla lowered them gently to the ground as Armino and Bellona went over to them.
"Reborn, treat them, okay?" Tsuna requested.
"Now, don't get cocky." Reborn said walking over to them to heal Gokudera and Yamamoto.
Tsuna turned to the side, "Come out, Mukuro. I know your alive."
"Kufufu, I admit that your fighting instincts have increased remarkably. But it would be troublesome for me if you got too carried away." Mukuro smiled.
"There's another skill you haven't used," Camilla said calmly, "That's the fifth realm, Human."
Mukuro looked at her, "How is it that you know of such things?"
"Like I told you before it's none of your business. We're not acquaintances, so you have no right to know." Camilla told him, "The fifth realm Human is the very realm we're in right now. The human realm."
"I was hoping not to use it, but it looks like I have no choice." Mukuro said surrounded in dark energy.
"That's one dark aura." Reborn commented.
(Song: Tsuna Awakens)
Mukuro came at him but Tsuna blocked it with no trouble at all, "I see, so your saying your aura makes you the better fighter?" he kicked the illusionist away from him.
Tsuna brought his flames up to his forehead and the gloves were glowing orange.
Camilla smirked, "Guess you got the hang of it."
Reborn smirked, "About time."
"By the way, this isn't aura either." Tsuna commented.
"Oh? How interesting. Can you show it to me?!" Mukuro swing his staff at him but Tsuna grabbed it and bent it.
"What?" he felt a swipe of his glove, "It's hot!"
'His aura gives off heat?' he thought.
"Deathperation flames and auras have different energy densities. Unlike auras, which can only be seen by certain people, Deathperation flames are super-compressed energy with direct destructive power." Reborn explained.
"So those gloves are like a hot iron?" Mukuro questioned.
"That's not all." Tsuna said charging at him then disappearing as Mukuro took a swipe at him.
"He disappeared!" Mukuro gasped.
Tsuna appeared behind him taking him by surprise, "I-Impossible! When did he…?!"
Tsuna punched him right in the face sending him back a good few feet.
"What was that just now? What did he do?" Mukuro wondered.
Camilla stood by Tsuna's side and smiled, "Things are starting to get interesting."
Tsuna nodded.
Armino stared at them both, 'Now that they've both awakened, their flames are coming out strong.'
Mukuro chuckled then laughed, "This was a miscalculation on my part," he stood up, "I'll use my strongest form to make you mine."
"Behold!" Mukuro sent an apparition at Tsuna but Camilla stood in front of him.
"Now it's my turn," she smirked, "Enyo no Hōyō (Enyo's Embrace)." The wires formed into two arms that shielded them both from whatever it was that Mukuro was trying to do.
"What?!" Mukuro stood there stunned.
"Is that?" Reborn wondered.
"One of Camilla-sama's defenses. It is known as…Enyo's Embrace. Her first defense." Armino informed.
Bell smiled, "She named it after mommy."
"I see." Reborn said.
The large wired arms dispersed, "That was my first defense, it takes on both strong and weak attacks, including illusions."
"Impossible!" Mukuro said.
"Your turn now," Camilla whispered in Tsuna's ear, "Get him."
Tsuna used the flames of his gloves to propel himself upwards and came down a little heading right at Mukuro.
"Vector thrusting with the flames?!" Mukuro exclaimed.
Tsuna shot at him quickly.
"The speed he used to get behind you came from the flames thrust." Reborn told Mukuro who remembered how the brunette got behind him the first time.
Tsuna slammed his palm into Mukuro's face pushing him backwards. Reborn walked over to Camilla to stand next to her, "Looks like the Deathperation flames purified Mukuro's dark aura."
Camilla smirked, "That's right."
Tsuna slammed Mukuro's head into ground creating a crater and knocking him out permanently. Camilla and Reborn walked over to them, she stared his face, "He looks so peaceful."
"It's over." Reborn stated.
Tsuna dissipated his flames, "Yeah, how is everyone?"
"No need to worry." Reborn told him holding up a phone, "The Vongola Medical Team has arrived."
"Thank goodness." Tsuna sighed with relief then looked at Camilla who looked back at him.
She smiled, "You did it."
Tsuna blushed, "Camilla-chan…when we go home I want to talk to you."
"Yeah, we do." She agreed looking down at Mukuro as did Tsuna.
"Mukuro…he's not dead is he?" Tsuna fretted.
Camilla chuckled.
"Geez, you're pretty new to this." Reborn said.
Camilla went over to him but heard a voice from behind her, "Don't get too close!"
They turned around to stare at Ken and Chikusa.
"The Mafia's not allowed to touch Mukuro-san!" Ken crawled over and Chikusa wasn't too far from him.
Camilla sighed, "Armino, Bell."
Bell pinned down Ken, while Armino pinned down Chikusa.
"Let go of me!" Ken yelled.
"No, your injured and have to stay still, doggie." Bell frowned.
"That goes double for you, Chikusa-san." Armino held him in place making the boy beneath him grunt.
Camilla bent down wrapping her wires around Mukuro as her flames started healing some of his wounds, "It won't heal all of them but some is good enough."
"Don't touch Mukuro-san!" Ken yelled.
"Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate, you mutt!" Camilla yelled back shutting him up.
"Why protect him? He possessed and used you!" Tsuna questioned.
"You could never understand. This is nothing." Chikusa grunted.
"Compared to the pain we suffered back then…" Ken added.
"Back then?" Tsuna was confused.
"What happened? Why do you hate the Mafia so much?" Reborn wanted to know.
"The Estraneo Family experimented on all of the children including these three," Camilla explained making them look at her, "The children they experimented on soon died because they couldn't handle the experiments. Mukuro, Ken, and Chikusa are the only ones who lived through it."
"What?" Tsuna gasped.
"Like I thought, so they are from the Estraneo Family." Reborn commented.
Ken explained that their own family experimented on them so the could be used as human weapons. Then said that Mukuro had killed every scientist there and freed them and felt like they belong for the very first time.
"You don't see me crying for the idiots who experimented on you," Camilla got up having finished healing Mukuro's small cuts and walked over by Tsuna, "Their burning in hell as we speak."
"And I can't just strand by and watch my friends get hurt! Because I belong with them!" Tsuna declared holding Camilla's hand.
"That's right, you attack our friends you pay for it." Camilla stated then sensed them coming, "It's them."
"Them who?" Tsuna wondered.
His question was answered when three figures appeared by the door and used three chains to grab Mukuro, Ken, and Chikusa by their necks. Bell and Armino got off them and watched the three be dragged away.
"They got here fast." Reborn commented.
"Who are they?!" Tsuna wondered.
"The Vindice, also known as the Mafia police." Camilla answered as they dragged the three of them away by their necks.
"Wai-What are you doing?!" Tsuna yelled.
Camilla had her arm out making him look at her as she shook her head.
"Stop, Tsuna." Reborn warned, "It's not wise to defy the Vindice."
"But…" Tsuna protested.
"Don't." Camilla said sternly.
"This is the law." Reborn stated.
"What'll happen to those guys? What about Lancia?" Tsuna wanted to know.
"They'll be tried for their crimes and punished." Reborn looked down.
"P-Punished how?" Tsuna wondered.
"Who knows." Reborn said.
"I don't think anyone knows, or wants to know." Camilla commented.
"They won't be getting off easy. Because the world we live in isn't so easy." Reborn said looking up.
The Vongola Medical Team soon arrived and took everyone else away and Tsuna fell down but Camilla caught him, "In pain, huh?"
"All over!" Tsuna complained.
"That's because the Criticism Shot's battle mode is hard on the body. The stress on your body manifests itself as pain." Reborn informed.
Tsuna passed out in Camilla's arms making her sigh, "Can't blame him for being tired though."
"Passed out from the pain, huh? I'll have to train him harder. But he cleared Vongola IX's test. Good job, Tsuna. As for me, your tutor…I'm worn out." He leaned near Camilla's leg and fell asleep making her smile.
"You get some sleep too, we'll take care of you guys." Camilla smiled.
Armino and Bell smiled themselves.
Mission: Complete!
The gang was currently at the baseball tournament watching Yamamoto give it his all a he made an awesome hit.
"Great job, Yamamoto!" Tsuna cheered from his seating place next to Camilla.
"Not bad, he's improving." Camilla complimented.
"You're amazing, Yamamoto-kun!" Kyoko cheered sitting next to Haru and the kids and Armino.
"Totally!" Haru agreed.
Lambo laughed, "It's all thanks to Lambo-san!"
Gokudera looked bored, "Geez, what is the other team doing against someone like Yamamoto?" he stood up, "If you don't get your crap together, I'm going to start something over here!"
"Gokudera-kun, what are you here for?" Tsuna wondered. Then he looked around the stands, "Is it just my imagination?" then let it go having heard Lambo's crying.
Camilla and Reborn sensed it and look over to a mother and her child, "Mii-kun, your brother tried hard. What should I make for dinner?"
"Oh! I want Salisbury steak!" the boy answered.
Camilla smiled, "It sucks being alone all by yourself, come and see us sometime. We'll be waiting."
"She's right, come back for a rematch any time." Reborn smiled himself.
"You had that yesterday. We'll have it again another time." The mother said.
"Okay!" the boy nodded then smiled, "Again…someday…"
"Huh?"
The boy turned to look at them and Camilla sent a wave his way making him smile at her as he walked away with the mother.
She sighed, "Looks like we can relax for a while."
"Yeah, so…who's next?" Reborn questioned.
She smirked.
