This is an early chapter after two days of school and al lot of writer's block and unpublished stories that I recently pay most attention too nowadays…yeah, that's why I'm slacking…God I want to erase inactive fics without notices this time. It's driving me nuts!
Chapter 13
Vongola Italian Base- Tsuna's Office
Tsuna was finishing his last pile of paperwork before he went to meet the agents that will come in the Vongola's doorstep a few minutes or hours from now. He was really hoping that the agents he got are formidable and skilled. He had made a vow in front of hundreds of Mafiosi at the age of twenty, that he will do everything to make the Vongola prosper, and that is what he intends to do.
They just got to the base yesterday from Japan, and are now expecting their arrival. He thought that the search for his daughter must be put aside for now, and the safety of others comes first. As for the women that couldn't fight, who were Kyoko, Haru, Hana, and Yamamoto's wife Sachiko were sent to Japan for safety.
The only women who could fight are Chrome, and Kyouya's wife Natsuko who was a skilled woman in wielding a bisento, and the wives of the Varia. Dino has no authority to fight alongside the Vongola because they are only allies. Sot they resorted to aid them in gathering enough information on their field from the base along with the technicians, and the others who were left.
As he signed the last of the papers, Gokudera came in the door, "Boss, the agents are here," he announced.
Hearing the announcement of the silver haired man, he stood up and went outside his office. As he walked with Gokudera in tow, he can't help but get the feeling that he is excited to see a certain someone, but he doesn't know who.
When they got to the lobby, they were met by the twenty-one agents assigned in their family. There in front was the same woman that leads the Vendetta Assassination Organization, "Mistress Moon Raven, how nice of you to be here," he greeted.
"I am a Vendice agent after all." she replied. Then she turned to the agents. "These are the other twenty agents that will be assigned to you," she introduced.
The Vongola, including the Varia noticed teenagers in the group. "Why are there children included?" Gokudera asked.
Lightning Wolf shook his head, "It would seem that you're underestimating the skills of these children. They are chosen to be Vendice's agents because they are the best in their batch, and are rarely chosen on ages eighteen and under,"
Moon Raven agreed on what he said, "Yes, what Lightning Wolf said is true Vongola Decimo, and the rules of the Tie Breaker Method is to include all available Vendice agents, and we have at least forty-two of them and all of us here at this base are twenty-one in total," she said.
The children then came to the lobby of the castle. The Varia children recognized the two agents.
"White Lotus and Anemone?" Yohannes said in bewilderment.
The adults all looked at the two teenage agents waving their hands. Tsuna looked at the brunette agent waving her hand and felt something strange as he took a glance at the agent brunette. 'She's White Lotus…? What's this feeling…? It's like I've met her somewhere before…' he thought. He then noticed two familiar agents that he met when he first met Moon Raven. "Um…you're Phoenix Dawn and Blue Moon, am I right?" he asked.
"Yes Vongola Decimo, and as for the mission you gave us, the safety of the client comes first, so we will have to postpone the giving of information on a later date after this event," Phoenix Dawn said knowing what the man was asking.
Tsuna nodded in understanding the circumstances that may happen if the conversation about their assignment were to spread before a serious and bloody fight they will have to face. A few introductions later, the children and the adults were separated each to the children and the adults of the Vongola.
When the teenage agents all went to a single room along with the Vongola and Varia children, they started to watch over the brunette agent as said by Tsuna himself. After all, she is one of the candidates as the true Vongola Eleventh.
"Nice place you got here," Hyun-Min commented, known by his agent name Edelweiss.
"But our place back in America is bigger," Alvin/ Freesia countered.
"Nuh uh, my rest house is better," Gerard/Hydrangea countered.
It wasn't long before they were hit on their heads by Louise/Hibiscus on their heads. "Nincompoops, you're giving yourselves away!"
"Enough you guys, we'll cause some things to break here if this goes on," Azalea reasoned.
White Lotus just sighed at the scene in front of her as she and Anemone looked around the room. Her cousins always act like that when it comes to bragging, sometimes unintentionally, like now. It wasn't long before Anemone started complaining, "My, what troublesome cousins you have White Lo,"
The brunette just smiled, "I wouldn't like it any other way," but in her head, she has been very surprised to see the brown haired man she met just the other day is none other than the Vongola Decimo himself. 'It can't be…can it? Is the Vongola Decimo really my father…?' she really is confused to the extent that she could go nuts. Just then, she noticed a large frame on one of the tables inside the living room. She looked at the photo and saw three people outside the base's garden. The first figure was Tsuna, wearing his ever bright smile. He was on the left side of the photo. She then looked at the right and saw a woman with orange hair and honey eyes. She then went to the middle of the photo and saw a little boy at the age of eight with a bright smile like Tsuna's with orange hair and brown eyes. Anemone also saw the picture she was staring at. She then decided to ask, "Hey, who's this?"
Narumi then came to the brunette and looked at the photo she was looking at. "Oh that, that's the Vongola Decimo and his wife, my aunt Kyoko. And that…" she stopped for a while, and smiled sadly, "My late cousin, Ieyoshi," she answered.
"Late?" Anemone pried.
"This picture was the last picture they had before Ieyoshi died of…heart failure," White Lotus' eyes widened in surprise and sorrow behind her mask, "He was always very weak and gets tired easily. But he hates seeing us upset so he always tries to smile. He was such a sweet kid and very caring. Even the adults say that he's like uncle Tsuna at times. Ieyoshi was born four years after my other cousin was born and he died just two years ago. Currently we still don't know if my other cousin alive or dead now."
"But…if Ieyoshi never had that illness, he can succeed the Vongola Decimo right?" Anemone asked.
"Yes, but I doubt he will really succeed uncle Tsuna, because maybe when the time comes and if my older cousin really is alive, they will have to fight each other for the Vongola Title. The aftermath is what we don't know," Narumi explained.
White Lotus looked at the picture and at Ieyoshi. 'Too bad Ieyoshi…I never got to meet you…' she thought.
Just then, an alarm broke off. All of them in the room went on high alert. Then they heard an announcement that they recognized to be the bomber's voice, "All agents of Vendice and the Vongola and Varia teenagers, proceed to the outside of the Vongola Castle right now." Was all he said. No one wasted time in the room and all got out of the castle immediately.
When they all got outside, the entire teenagers saw the adults talking and Mistress Moon Raven and Tsuna were standing side by side. But what the teenager agents saw the most attention were their air bikes that were sent to the outside base. They were glad to see their black air bikes are to be used in the war, which means there will be fun brewing while fighting.
"Cool! Our air bikes are here!" Edelweiss said in delight.
"Probably arranged by Mistress," Red Rose guessed.
"Who cares?" Freesia shouted with glee, "We have our babies back!"
"And get into some trouble again and your parents will confiscate your air bike again," Hibiscus commented.
"Most likely," Hydrangea agreed.
Then Tsuna called their attention, "As of now we will meet the Millefiore close in their base since Byakuran has the right to choose the place. We will be going to the chess field." (Like in Alice and Wonderland the Movie that was released this year. I just love that!)
"All of the teenage agents have their air bikes sent here to be of your full use. We will be leaving in half an hour so get yourselves ready." She ordered.
The people did what was told and left a half hour later. The teenagers were sent on one direction to the chess field. They were all having a race with some Vongola teenagers at their backs with their own air bikes. "Seriously, why do we have to be separated on going to the chess field from the adults?" Azalea questioned from her earring communicator and to the ones close to her range.
"They said something about planning something, but that's all I could gather," Amaryllis answered
"Whatever it is, we'll find out soon enough," Red Spider Lily said.
White Lotus was riding quietly listening to their conversations when she saw Amaryllis rubbing his eyes from under his mask. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Ah, it's nothing White Lotus. My contacts are just a bit off," he reasoned.
"Were you even sure you put them on correctly?" she asked. The blonde nodded.
"Then be careful dropping them along the fight. It can be dangerous if you lose your sight," she pestered.
Then Anemone caught up on their speed, "White Lo, don't take your school-" 'Mother hen' "Authority voice when on these situations between missions," he advised.
"I was just-whoa!" Himeno shouted as she bumped her air bike on the back of Azalea's. good thing nothing was broken. "What's wrong?"
"We're here," she announced.
All of them looked at their surroundings. There in front of them, in the middle of the forest was a field large enough for two farmers to plant on. They noticed that they were divided into squares in an alternate color of black and white. "Whoa, this really looks like a chess board…" Gilbert commented.
"So you've arrived," said a voice that they knew to be Lightning Wolf. "You just came here a minute after us," he explained.
"So we see," Narumi replied as they all unloaded their air bikes.
Just then, Tsuna's eyes turned serious and looked at the other side of the field. "Here he comes," he announces.
As he said that, all of them looked at the direction where Tsuna was looking and saw a fleet of men in blinding white. "Are they ghosts or something?" Seishiro wondered.
"No, they're the Millefiore," Ayako replied.
The chapter ends here. Well, I'm now having a hard time on what to do with this next because I suck at actions scenes. Oh, and if you're interested, see my new fic, a fairytale remake of the Swan Princess with the main pairing of DFEM18 and many other. Don't worry, I already completed it just last week after watching it again after so many years of not watching it. Just to let you know, that's the cartoon movie that was released when the cassettes are still being used.
Review!
