Sorry for not updating earlier but I got sidetracked! D8
Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did, I would have had Tsuna marry an OC of mine XDDDD
Tsuna darted behind him and went to the other boy. He rolled him to his other side. There was a gash at his side but that was bandaged up so the blood won't seep out. Tsuna sighed, relieved that the boy was still alive but worried that he may not last long; the boy was very white. So white that Tsuna might have thought he was dead if he didn't listen for a heartbeat.
"It's very rude and very foolish to turn your back on someone Tsunayoshi." Tsuna only had seconds to react as a javelin was thrown at him. He moved his head back a few inches - the javelin passed through before his eyes.
"Smooth move." Carmine complimented him. Tsuna glared at him and stood up.
Bad, bad, bad!Tsuna thought as he kept glancing at Carmine while his eyes searched around his surroundings. He spotted the flag hidden inside a hollow trunk of a tree. He thought of making a grab for it but he suddenly remembered Carmine and the boy. He looked back at him and found himself looking into thoughtful eyes. Tsuna tensed.
"Hmmmn…" Carmine said, looking at Tsuna up and down. "You really are the exact replica of Vongola Primo… but I wonder…" Tsuna didn't even blink when Carmine had suddenly appeared in front of him, a curved dagger aiming straight to his heart. Tsuna was very grateful for his intuition as he trapped the blade between his hands a few centimeters away from his heart.
He hissed as droplets of blood started to fall down the grass. Carmine didn't give him enough time to dodge as he kicked Tsuna in the stomach and sent him flying a few feet. He landed on his side and groaned, holding his stomach as he did so.
He may have gone through many bone-breaking, nerve-wracking and emotional trials but even though he had went through so much… it still hurts. At least… it wasn't worse when he ate Bianchi's poison cooking.
"Truthfully I have never met Vongola Primo nor his guardians, but I have heard a lot and if the words 'Like father, like son are true…" Carmine's eyes glinted that made Tsuna stiffen. "Then you are good enough to try."
"What do you mean 'good enough to try'?" Tsuna asked slowly as he stood up. He didn't understand what Carmine was saying. What does this have to do with anything? Did Carmine want to know if he was as strong as Primo or what?
Carmine shrugged. "I like people who can turn their resolve into loyalty Tsunayoshi. I have heard about the Vongola guardian's outstanding loyalty to their boss and I wonder… whether if the same applies for their children. I'm sure you have a ton of resolve, do you? I mean, after being outnumbered it would take a real leader with the resolution to lead that would keep them fighting and forgive me for saying so much, I'll get right to the point… Tsunayoshi, I want you to come with me."
Tsuna stared at him with surprise. He was expecting something like I will defeat you!Or I hate the Vongola Family and I will destroy it… starting with you! But he was wrong. He shook his head, he should stop being so paranoid that everyone who takes interest in the Vongola family would kill him.
"Why do you want me to come anyway? More importantly… who are you?" he asked.
Carmine smiled coldly. Tsuna gasped as an orange pacifier appeared hanging around Carmine's neck. At first he was going to demand how he got that pacifier but stopped as he saw that the pacifier wasn't… well pure. The color had turned darker, almost sickly-looking and in the center, Tsuna can faintly see a small dot of black.
He had seen firsthand that the pacifiers would be transparent if their owners were dead but this one still had its color. Meaning… the person in front of him was…
Tsuna's eyes widened.
"I'm the Arcobaleno of the Sky." Carmine smiled at him.
Tsuna's brain went dead. No, not dead. Just in a state of shock that just left him speechless. Here he was searching for one of the Arcobaleno and it just so happens an Arcobaleno went and appeared before him. He should consider himself lucky to find even one of them but there was something bothering him… there was something wrong with the Sky Arcobaleno. He can just feelit.
He opened his mouth to say something but closed it. Hesitating a little before finally asking "But… aren't the Arcobaleno supposed to be looking like babies?"
Carmine's smile widened and he let out a laugh. "It's true that we are cursed to look like one but…" he tapped his pacifier. "not anymore… the curse is broken."
Broken? Broken how?Tsuna thought. Not even Reborn and the others have broken it because they couldn't.
Before he can ask anything more, Carmine went to the unconscious boy and nudged him with his foot. "Max has served me well but I don't need him anymore." Carmine murmured as he bent down and picked up the gun.
Tsuna's eyes narrowed, Max? He heard Aurora and Crisping talking about him once. "What are you going to do?" Carmine looked at him shrugged. "I could kill him but it's always a bother clean up… I'll just leave him to be found. After all, he won't remember anything when he wakes up."
"What do you mean he won't remember?"
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsunayoshi. We're straying from the subject, are you coming with me or not Tsunayoshi?" Carmine looked at him expectantly.
"I wouldn't come with you even if I knew why you wanted me." Tsuna said flatly and raised his fists, daring him to fight him.
Should he be scared at that moment? Maybe, because he had a bad feeling as Carmine pulled something strangely familiar from his pocket.
A black box. Then the box opened and in front of him stood what might be King Kong's twin brother.
His eyes widened the size of dinner plates. He gulped. He knew he couldn't take that thing down… not without using his flames and he had a strong suspicious that was what Carmine exactly wanted to see.
God, he was so screwed. He just knew it.
~ Vongola Famiglia~
Giotto looked down at the young man in his arms. "Are you okay?" he asked. Mitchel peeped around his shoulder.
"Mare?" Mitchel said, surprised.
"Mitchel?" Mare said, raising his pale face at him. Realizing he was still leaning on him, Mare stood up wobbly and murmured small thanks at the blonde.
"No problem!" Giotto said, smiling brightly at him.
Mare gawked at him.
"Oi Giotto, how long are you going to hang around the stables?" G said, appearing behind him. When G saw Mare, he raised a brow in question.
"I'm coming!" Giotto said, not even noticing Mare in his worry for Tsuna.
He turned and left with G following him soon after. When they were gone, Mitchel rounded up on Mare. "What was that about?" he asked. "Are you in awe after seeing my majestic boss?" he snickered and Mare punched him on the shoulder.
"I was not in awe. I'm just really surprised to see him in the flesh and – wait, what are you doing down there Mitchel?" Mare asked suddenly when he saw Mitchel on the ground, rubbing his shoulder.
"Do have any idea how strong you are?" Mitchel said. "I'm bruising already!" he complained as he lifted his sleeve and saw the bruise. Mare didn't answer. He was completely ignoring him. Irritated, he ran up to catch up to him.
"Mare what's wrong with you… you seem so… odd." He stopped short. They weren't the best of friends or anything but Mare was acting very strange – stranger than his usual self that is - and it was freaking Mitchel out.
"Mitchel, that man who was here before… he's Tsuna's father right?" Mare suddenly asked out of the blue. "Yes, he is." Mitchel answered, confused.
"We have to stop them." Mare said, his face tight.
"What?" Mitchel said but Mare went ahead, already breaking into a run. "Wait for me!" Mitchel called up.
…
The Vongola family was seating on a long table with Giotto sitting on one end and Flavio sitting on the other. They came around noon and they were having lunch. To be honest, they didn't care about lunch. They wanted to get to the point on what's going on; on the way to the room where Flavio waited for them they noticed that the whole school was silent. Like no one was there and it was very unsettling.
"How are the children doing?" Giotto asked.
"They're doing quite fine although I've been having trouble with two of them lately." Flavio said while he took a sip from his glass. The guardians looked at each other.
"Ryohei is a good boy!" Knuckle said.
"That brat is too lazy to do any damage." Lampo yawned.
"Look whose talking." G muttered and then thought for a moment. "Hayato would have blow things up with that temper of his."
"Perhaps, but I'm sure Takeshi and Tsuna would have prevented him from doing that." Asari added cheerfully.
Giotto nodded in agreement and everyone looked at him expectedly. "What?" he asked. G grinned and clasped his hands together, fluttering his eyelashes. "Aren't you going to say something like 'Tsuna is the most sweetest boy in the world and wouldn't hurt a fly! In fact, he's sooooooo cute and I love him very muc – WHOA!" G ducked as Giotto chucked a serving fork at him. Some of his guardians laughed along with Flavio. Giotto decided that when they got back he was going to make G scoop out the dung from the stables. Scratch that, he was going to make him do far worse things than that…
Giotto cleared his throat and sent an accusing look on his mist and cloud guardians.
"Don't look at me." Deamon glared at him. "I only agreed to let them stay with us. Whatever those kids do is none of my concern." Giotto sighed and stared at Alaude.
Alaude looked at him. "Rules are made to be followed." Was his answer and Giotto sighed. He trusted his guardians but when it comes to dealing with repairs he knows who exactly was at fault. He had already witnessed one of Hibari and Mukuro's fights during their stay at the mansion. He had to admit it to the two boys; they did more damage than what Alaude and Deamon will ever achieve.
"Just…" he sighed. "send the bills and the Vongola will take care of it."
Flavio smiled gratefully and gestured his assistant, Ailith, towards them. He came close with a clip board and a stern expression on his face.
"I'm sure you want to know the event that we have going on here no?" he looked at each and every one of them. Then he went on to explaining about the Capture the Flag. When he got to the part where it was being held, Giotto's blood ran cold.
His fork froze midway.
Just then, the doors opened revealing a very sickly-looking Mare and a very scared Mitchel.
Mitchel thought Mare was a lot of things, namely weird, but not impulsively stupid. Whydid he even follow him? His grandfather will kill him for barging in on their masters!
"Mare…" Flavio raised an eyebrow at the boy.
Mare didn't answer but strode defiantly towards Giotto, ignoring the intimidating glare G was giving. Giotto stood up and faced the boy.
"You're the boy from the stables." Giotto said and Mare nodded dumbly.
"Mare, what are you doing?" Ailith asked quietly, his voice thin like ice.
"I need to tell you that the event should be stopped." Mare said.
"What?" Flavio stood up as well. "What are you talking about boy?"
"Something bad is going to happen! Please headmaster you have to listen to me! The students are in danger!" Mare's voice was lacing with impatience.
Confusion graced Flavio's face. "Danger? What danger are you talking about?"
Giotto's heart skipped a beat. Somewhere in his mind, fear-Giotto popped out of the dark water of negative thoughts.
Seeing that none of them were going to move, Mare grabbed Mitchel's arm and had started to drag him out wordlessly. Giotto sprang up from his seat and started to follow. "Giotto? Where the hell do you think you're doing? Get your ass back here!" G yelled at him. When the blonde wouldn't listen he growled and followed along with the other guardians and a curious Flavio.
If they wouldn't believe him then so be it. He'll go alone.
Marehad completely dismissed all thoughts of asking help from the adults and had therefore ignored them. He didn't even notice that Giotto was following them, along with the rest of the guardians and the Cavallone boss.
He whistled when they got outside and a horse trotted towards them. He saddled it and without meaning to, had Mitchel saddled - or to be more precise – threw him on the horse and had went on full gallop towards the forest.
"Mare you bloody fool!" Mitchel told him.
"Mitchel… when did you get here?"
Mitchel's eye twitched in annoyance. Some day he was going strangled this idiot with his bare hands.
~ Hibari Kyoya ~
Hibari was pissed. Verypissed.
Everything turned dark as if somebody had turned off the switch in a lit up room. Somebody had tried to attack him and he blocked it. Another attack to his left and then his right, he blocked them swiftly and hit someone on the jaw.
He called it 'someone' because it was a different person whom he had hit. Judging by the deep groan, it was a guy. He scowled. He knew the female herbivore couldn't fight so she bought in reinforcement which means crowds. He hated crowds.
Chains slithered down from the ends of his tonfas. There were no distractions to stop him now, he can do whatever he wanted and he won't be blamed. Perfect.
He twisted and the chains started going around and around like a hurricane.
The chains slapped Gloria in the face, leaving a deep and terrible gash. She screamed and fell to her knees. Her comrades, namely Clovis and another northern student, Mortimer, ran beside her. She spat on the ground and whimpered.
Released from the blindness that he was in, Hibari looked down on her. It wasn't his fault. Really, she picked a fight with him after all.
He raised his tonfas and the chains came reeling back in. She glowered but couldn't speak. If she opened her mouth she would have been tearing her cheek wide open. Blood ran down the side of her face.
"How can you do that? She's a girl!" Clovis said, horrified.
Hibari shrugged and Clovis became angry. Mortimer, a sixteen-year old boy with short black hair and dark black eyes placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't underestimate us Hibari Kyoya." He said, sending a piercing glare at him which Hibari returned with a glare ten times more murderous. "Unless you want to lose your life." He slipped his hand into his pants pocket.
Clovis' angry expression became a victorious smile. "That's right! I almost forgot about this!" Clovis pulled out a black box. It looked just like the boxes in the future but with one difference – there was no hole to insert a ring into. Mortimer suddenly grabbed Clovis' hand. "Remember what Carmine told us, once we open these we can't take them back." He said.
Clovis snorted and pulled his hand back, glaring at Hibari. "As long as it takes him out I don't care!"
"Take me out?" Hibari repeated, amused. "What's so funny?" Clovis growled. Hibari's lips curled up into a smirk. Roll crawled on back to his shoulder. "Whatever you have there… I will bite it to death."
Without thinking, Clovis opened the box. He didn't really opened it, it opened all on it's own.
Hibari stepped back as a huge paw climbed its way out of the small box. It's clawed the ground, searching for something to grab into to pull itself out. It started to slowly pull itself out, first the head; it was the head of a jaguar. It roared when it saw Hibari.
Clovis laughed maniacally, pointing a finger at Hibari. "You'll regret for taking my position as head prefect away!" he said. Mortimer picked Gloria up, the black box still in his hand.
The animal had dragged itself out of its box now and was growling ferociously at Hibari. It was a jaguar… at least at first. The first half of the body was of a jaguar but its rear end was sickening to look at – its legs were disgustingly rotting, as if the animal was half-way formed and its rear legs were the legs of a horse. It kept making sounds somewhere between a whinny and a growl.
To say that Hibari was surprised was an understatement. In fact, he was amused. His face was composed but his eyes were dancing with amusement. Roll had disappeared.
"Well what are you waiting for?" Clovis told the beast. "KILL HIM!" he shouted.
The beast backed away before breaking into a run and leaping at Hibari, who didn't even bother to move from where he stood.
Hibari motioned something with his hands and before the foul beast even touched a hair, something the size of a wrecking ball slammed against the beast midway, it's spikes digging in against its flesh.
Instead of disintegrating into dust particles like a normal box weapon, it melted into a puddle of goo.
"Is that the best you can do?" Hibari yawned.
Mortimer slowly slipped away with Gloria, leaving Clovis to his doom.
Apparently, Clovis was stupid enough not to read the situation that if he stayed any longer, he would end up dead and floating down the sewers.
He only realized it when Hibari had smashed a tonfa against his face.
That was the last time Clovis was ever heard off.
~ Mukuro Rokudo ~
Mukuro dusted his hands as he stepped over countless bodies of unconscious enemies. He looked around before calling out, "Chrome, are you there?"
Chrome appeared out of mist and stood before him, her trident held against her chest. "What is it Mukuro-sama?" she asked.
"I leave this area under your protection at the moment."
"But where will you go?" Chrome asked as he walked away.
"Kufufufu… it's time I entered the battlefield don't you think?" he smiled at her before disappearing in the mist. Chrome sighed and smiled to herself before a serious expression came to her face. She raised her staff and poised it, alerted that she has sensed someone was near.
People had suddenly sprung at her from all directions. Before she even moved, she took a slow and deep breath. Before they even touched her, she swung around in a full arc, pushing them back from the tip of her weapon.
She counted. Thirty versus one? So not fair.
She didn't show it though and remained strong.
"Come on girly, you know you can't take us all on." Sneered a girl who looked about two years older. "We could never handle the other one," some of them flinched from Mukuro being mentioned "but with you I'm sure it'll be no time till we reach the flag so put that thing down and surrender."
Chrome shook her head and looked at them coldly. "Then try if you can." She said and without warning, started to slash at the closest person beside her.
Her opponent went down and she moved in with her weapon clutched tightly in her hands. "Get her!" they roared and Chrome soon found herself dodging and jumping as they made a grab of her. One caught hold of her ankle and she quickly spun around and kicked them in the face. When she was free she backed against the tree. Her eye canning the area around her.
"You asked for it girly." The girl who talked before her said as they inched closer. Chrome realized that they didn't know she could perform illusions and had come up with a plan.
Then the girl lunged at her with a knife, aiming directly at her chest. Chrome didn't move as the blade pierced her chest. Her opponent was expecting a scream, not a ghoul. Chrome's body morphed into a disgusting creature. It opened it's mouth and let out a blood-curling shriek. They all staggered back as the ghoul started to twitch violently, dragging itself on its feet as it came closer.
"S-s-s-stay back!" the girl said as she backed up.
The ghoul opened its mouth and this time it didn't scream, instead, mist curled out of its mouth and slithered to the ground. The ghoul vanished into the wind. The slithering mist went around them in a circle, binding them all together. It rose to their faces and they all held a breath. What was it going to do?
I'll tell you what it did. Pink smoke suddenly engulfed them and when it cleared, there was a sign that was hanging in mid air. It said: Look behind you.
"Thunder set." Lighting struck down behind them. They didn't dare to look until it was too late. The last thing they saw before they were all barbecued to crisp was Lambo charging at them, his horns crackling with electricity.
"Elettrico Cornata!"
~Mare~
Mare came to a halt and Mitchel slipped off. Stretching as he did so until Mare tapped on his shoulder. "What?" he snapped irritatedly. Mare wasn't even affected by Mitchel's tone as he pointed towards the forest. Mitchel looked at him before looking up, his jaw dropping.
There was a mass of dark clouds hanging in the air above a part of the forest. Suddenly, a lighting bolt struck and as fast as the lighting came, the black clouds disappeared as soon as it was over.
After a moment, Mitchel asked in a shaky voice. "What was that?" Mare merely shrugged, a look of indifference on his face. Mare didn't even wait anymore to see what would happen next and dragged Mitchel once again down the path and into the forest that would soon lead them into the battlefield.
~Vongola Famiglia~
Giotto dropped off of his horse and looked around. Mare was here judging by the lone horse that was just left there but realized that they have already gone ahead. Giotto cursed.
"Giotto… take a look at this." G said and pointed down at the clearing below. Giotto came and heard and saw the sound of distant battles all around. Student's were fighting with one another and Giotto had no idea which side was which. The weirdest thing that Giotto felt was when he heard a roar "EXTREME!" coming from the east. They sweat dropped.
"At least we know where Ryohei is." Asari said cheerfully.
Then they heard screams of bloody murder somewhere to the west. "I don't want to know but," Lampo gulped. "I sure think that's where that Hibari kid is." They all glanced at Alaude who had some sort of scary, yet amusing look on his face.
"Where are the others though?" Knuckle asked. There was a loud BOOM! And smoke filling the air. "Definitely Hayato." G muttered.
They watched as the least number of students retreated into a line and in front, no one can mistake that hairstyle–was Mukuro Rokudo. Deamon watched the scene with interest.
"They're outnumbered." Deamon muttered. They looked down with worry on their faces… well some of them did.
G and Asari tensed as Gokudera and Yamamoto stepped out at different sides from Mukuro. There was a few moments of tensed silence when it was suddenly broken by a loud roar.
"VONGOLA!" Ryohei roared and soon, the rest of their comrades chorused in their cry. Even voices were erupting from within the forest. Giotto felt a chill run up his back. They then charged with Ryohei suddenly running ahead first out of everyone.
"That stupid kid! He's going to get hurt charging in like that!" G said as they watched. Knuckle couldn't help but nod in agreement. But what they didn't expect was for Ryohei to suddenly turn around as he skidded towards his enemy with his back turned.
"Takeshi!" Asari gasped.
Yamamoto had run after Ryohei. The first generation guardians didn't notice him since they were focused on Ryohei but now they did. Yamamoto was running close behind Ryohei , his legs and body synchronizing with him, hiding himself away from the enemy. When Ryohei turned as he skidded backward, he grinned and stepped into Ryohei's hands as he held them in front of him, as if boosting him up. And boost him he did.
Ryohei, with a loud roar, launched Yamamoto in the air. Their opponents looked up with amazement but didn't notice until it was too late as they were attacked. Gokudera then went next and he too was flung into the air by Ryohei.
"Me too octopus head!" Ryohei shouted.
"Stupid! Whose going to help you?" Gokudera shouted back.
Yamamoto swung his sword like a cyclone. People flew and landed several feet away, completely unconscious. Yamamoto dropped to the ground and then charged into a straight line, knocking enemies down as he did so. Gokudera whipped out his bombs.
"Triple bombs!" he shouted and brought down a rainstorm of dynamite. Ryohei came with their force and started to fight back with vigor with Mukuro fighting back-to-back.
The first generation looked at the scene with some amusement but mostly awe. They had never fought that way much. Not with that much style.
Lighting struck once more and Lampo found himself gawking as Lambo charged out of the forest and began running over enemies like a mad bull.
Giotto and his guardians watched with amazement. They knew that their adoptive kids had some skill but they didn't expect this. The enemy numbers went down and soon, the Vongola sidehad completely overwhelmed the enemy and they cheered.
"They've won!" G said, his eyes shining.
"Not yet." Flavio said behind them. They turned around, completely forgetting that the boss of the Cavallone family had came along with them.
G frowned. "What's that supposed to mean? They won the battle did they?"
"The game won't end until someone captures the flag." Flavio said coolly. He then frowned. "What was that boy talking about? There is no danger here."
Not yet but since he said it, now there was danger.
A wild roar of an animal reached their ears. It was so loud that it almost made their ears hurt. The cheering died and they turned towards the west wood. There was silence and then…
"HEEEEEIIIIIIIII!"
Tsuna jumped out of the forest with an unknown boy on his back as he ran. Behind him was Aurora.
Another loud roar and the ground shook beneath their feet. Without warning, trees were ripped from the ground as a huge gorilla appeared, roaring in fury as it tried to swat away something.
"STUDENTS, RETURN TO THE ACADEMY!" Flavio shouted. Students screamed and had started to flee. Without a word, the first generation went into battle. As they came closer, Giotto heard Alaude growl.
Hibari was flung by the gigantic beast towards the ground. Giotto went into Hyper Dying Will Mode and caught him before he hit the ground. Their adoptive children were stunned by the sudden appearance. Gokudera was the first to snap out of it.
"Oh my god it's KING KONG!" he said and he started to mutter endlessly about not bringing a camera.
"Like donkey kong?" Yamamoto laughed. "EXTREME DONKEY KONG! WHERE ARE THE BARRELS?" Ryohei looked around him wildly.
"Stupids! This isn't a game!" Gokudera growled.
"You bet your ass it isn't a game!" G had suddenly said and kicked Gokudera's behind, sending him flying towards Tsuna, who was kneeling beside an unconscious boy with Aurora by his side.
"FUCKING OLD MAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE?" Gokudera said in outrage. He then turned to Tsuna. "Hi Jyuddaime!" he said cheerily. G turned to Yamamoto and Ryohei. "Do I need to kick you two as well?" he asked in an impatient voice. Yamamoto quickly shook his head. "I'll be over there then." He then laughed and ran towards his friends, a bewildered expression on his face.
His face said something like 'what are they doing here?'. Tsuna shook his head, not knowing either. "What about you?" G turned to Ryohei. "No worries! A man can kick himself there!" he said and kick himself indeed. G sweat dropped and turned back to the problem at hand.
Chrome came out with Lambo and stood beside Tsuna.
"Boss…"
"Chrome, are you alright?" Tsuna asked. She nodded and looked around. "Where's Mukuro-sama?" she asked. Mukuro stepped out of the mist. "Kufufufu~ I'm right here Chrome." He said. Chrome looked relieved.
"Tsuna." Tsuna turned to be faced to face to his adoptive father. Beside him was a fuming Hibari. "I didn't need your help herbivore." He said. Giotto ignored him. Tsuna's eyes were on the flame that was on Giotto's forehead.
"Tsuna, look at me." Tsuna looked at him directly in the eye. There was a lump in his throat. He didn't mean to sound like a sissy but he couldn't help but feel guilty. "Promise me you'll be safe." Startled, Tsuna looked at his father. "What?" he said.
"Tsuna, just –" the earth shuddered beneath them. "be careful." Without another word, he took to the sky.
Giotto swerved to the side as a fury arm shot out and tried to grab him. Giotto heard a bang and the beast howled in pain as it clutched its eye. Giotto looked down and saw G with a gun at his hand. Asari went and stabbed it on the foot. It howled again. Alaude came with a chain (not a chain really but handcuffs that were linked together) and swung it like a lasso around the beasts hands. He pulled and the beast's hands were bound. They thought it would end there. They didn't expect for it to break through the chains with Cloud flames all over it.
Giotto had no choice. He had to take it down and quick. His right glove shone and when the light died out, a gauntlet appeared on it.
Tsuna gasped. "That's…"
"Primo's gauntlet." Mukuro finished.
"He's going to end it?" Yamamoto asked.
Yamamoto's question was soon answered as Giotto released a force that could rival Tsuna's X-burner and had sent the beast back. It's fur catching on fire as the sky flames engulfed it. Giotto was confused. His sky flames can't hurt living things like that for real. It only happens when he wills it.
Tsuna stood up. His eyes wandered towards the other side of the forest when his eyes caught a pair of blue ones staring back at him.
Carmine smiled and Tsuna felt that it wasn't over yet.
His friends stood up and ran to their adoptive fathers, leaving him alone standing. Giotto's flame extinguished and he looked up at Tsuna. "Tsuna, what's wrong?"
Tsuna took one step when Aurora screamed and Tsuna found himself on the ground with fanged jaws centimeters from his neck. A jaguar pounced on him and he was now seconds away from being animal chow. It was knocked off him though as Mare suddenly appeared with scratches all over his face and body.
Mitchel staggered out of the forest, his arm bleeding. "Watch out master Tsunayoshi! That beast ain't normal!" he said. The animal lunged again only to be taken down by Deamon. He sliced it's head of clean with a swift cut with his scythe. It's head rolled on the ground and it melted.
"It's over." Deamon said and turned his back on them.
"Deamon…" Giotto said.
But it wasn't over. Not when things have already begun. Flocks of birds suddenly flew down and started to attack every single one of them like bees.
"Jyuddaime!" Gokudera shouted, his arms covering his face. Tsuna couldn't see from the bird attack and had barely managed to notice when there was another growling sound.
Before he knew it he screamed as intense pain shot from his shoulder. Mare had barely noticed as well when he too was suddenly attacked. Both boys had their worlds be engulfed in darkness and they fell. Giotto had only caught a glimpse of Tsuna collapsing when he became enraged. As if the birds had sensed it, they attacked Giotto before he could even make a move.
The two animals, a jackal and a jaguar, both larger than an average animal, were rain attributed. Picking up their prize, they left whilst the confusion.
"Tsuna!"
Well, I hope it wasn't awful. Till next time everyone!
