Espér POV
It was a Saturday, now. No school for two days. Well, what am I to do? I'd better start searching for my bag, my contract, and my MP3 player... Thing is, something's going to happen.
I've known for so long that something's going to happen today. I think my student's ready with the exact locations, and all I have to do is to wait. Wait and be ready when I am.
Be ready to start the invasion, the fight for Vongola's last chance for survival, ten years in the future.
Get a Ten-Year Bazooka, I told him, Come to my apartment at ten on Saturday this week to check on me beforehand. If I have been changed, and I am hurt, take me immediately to the Cavallone medial center. Also bring my rock and my pacifier if present. If I had to go there, don't tell anyone. I wouldn't like everyone worried, especially Kyou-nii. Dino would work things out. If I am not injured, take me along for assistance on the plan. Follow Reborn. Make sure he cannot escape being hit by the bazooka set off by Lambo. Tsuna will follow suit in the next few days, and after he goes, wait a bit. Hayato-nii will come running back to Tsuna's house. Hit him. After another day, hit Takeshi, Kyoko, Haru, and the two children all at once. Don't worry, the Bazooka is stretchable. A month or two later, hit Kyou-nii, and you may follow suit a bit later.
I just hope I can see Onii-san soon. Soon, soon. It was around nine on the clock. I sighed. So long, world of the present time. I shall see you in two month's time, most likely longer. I took my rock and my pacifier and chained them. I put them on my desk, so it will be easily visible when he comes in. And I sat there, taking in the details of my room, savoring this moment. I would never have such a cozy room here on Earth, ever again. Let's just hope that I'll still have it when I come back.
If I come back.
I put my face in my hands. What if Kyou-nii and Onii-san and Hayato-nii and Takeshi and-and everyone were dead in the future? What if they had been taken captive of the Cervello and would use them as bait to punish me? No. I have the power to change things. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for us to go into the future anyways.
I went to my refrigerator. I'll get some cheese cake to cheer me up. A slice? Yea, a slice. Not too much. I'll leave some out for him to take, too. I took out the box and plopped onto the sofa. I cut a wedge and set aside the rest of it on the little table I put in front of the couch. Mmm... This is really good... I'm glad I'm born French, else I won't know how to make this...
I finished the cheesecake and knew it was time. I could feel the barriers of space weaken; this is the strong power I'll have in the future? Well, this is sure exciting. I shut my eyes and jumped over the cliff of time-space continuum.
The only thing I could feel next, in the future, was pain and darkness. It's nighttime here? Or is it... Ah! It hurts! What is it? It's like my life being sucked out of myself. How could I have done something so powerful in this type of situation? Soon, I could no longer move around, and blackness took over me. The last thing I saw was my rock and my pacifier on a platform a few meters away from me, in the darkness, shattered. Both of them.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Irie Suoichi sat at his desk, in front of the gigantic project that held the generator, and the power behind Byakuran. The project of time travel. He had his headphones on, from the bag he had taken from the street ten years ago.
Then, he hadn't thought of listening to the songs on that mysterious MP3 player, since the names were so weird and unusual. He had taken the Headphones and the contract, nothing else. He glanced at the screen in front of him.
He stared at it for a long time. Some static and a glitch. Aw... great, it's another glitch. Ever since we put her in here, there were so many glitches... Only when we smashed those two things that the glitches stopped... Ah, why is there another glitch, then?
Whatever, it's over already, anyways. Suoichi gave a little smirk and listened in to his own MP3 player on the outstanding headphones that previously belonged to the girl that had been shoved inside that generator.
(Song lyrics slightly changed, so it'll sound more like what's being said. I do not own this song. Caramell does, and the Speedycake Remix is also part of Speedycake's.)
(Xxxx...music...xxxX)

(Song to be continued in the far, far future...)
Suoichi thinks that Swedish songs like these are cute, and he put them on his MP3 player.
...?
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Back in the Past...
Mukuro materialized in front of Espér's doorway. Hm. It's ten already. But there's nothing moving inside. What happened?
"Kufufufu... I wonder what the girl looks like in the future..." Mukuro said to himself. The door next to Espér's opened.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!?! I'M TRYING TO DO MY FINANCIA-" The boy with silver hair stopped. "Oh, it's you. Why are you here anyways? And why in the world are you standing in Espér's doorway?" Mukuro raised his eyebrow in the amused face he always wore.
"So you do your financial paperwork by yourself? Kufufu... To see the octo-head doing finance in his apartment..." Gokudera twitched in annoyance.
"Why. Are. You. Here."
"Well I'm sure your Juudaime's hungry now. Reborn always steals his breakfast. Oh, and by the way, he likes Yatsuhashi." Mukuro grinned, "Now, run along, child, before I get angry!" He twirled around his trident. When Gokudera did not move, Mukuro dragged him out to a store that sold Yatsuhashi and went back to Espér's door. He opened it and saw...
Espér. A thirteen-year-old Espér lying on the floor. She did not move, but Mukuro heard small gasps of breathing.
"Sensei! A-are you alright?"
"M-Mu-Muku-kuro... You're finally here..." She closed her eyes and softly whispered, "You remember what I said to you? I hope you haven't forgotten. I'll have to leave this world if you don't, and the Vongola will fall to pieces, so will the rest of the mafia, then the world. However, the world shall not be a sea of red; it shall be a sea of gray." She sighed.
"When Kyou-nii comes, make sure he'll be in my room. He will rampage if he isn't." Mukuro acknowledged her soft voice and picked her up. And he teleported.
The dark alley they came to was small and cold. Mukuro, however, strode quickly to Dino's Cavallone hospital.
"Dino."
"Hey!" Dino walked up, however stiffly.
"What's up with you, Cavallone?"
"Eh... You know... Anyways, it isn't like you to come to this place. What fo-" Dino looked at the girl in his arms.
"Ah."
"Espérer-san needs medical attention, quick."
"On it. Romario, get this girl a room! On the double!" Romario nodded and strode off purposely through the double doors to the main office.
"Let's get the girl on a bed, will you?" added Dino. A bed was presented, and Espér was placed in it. Then, she was rolled off to her room.
"So, that's it, Mukuro?"
"Yea... I need to get back to the Vendiche cell fast, before I'm noticed." And with that, he disappeared. Dino looked at Espér. She's sort of familiar, some how...
And why in the world did I actually do what I was told by Rokudo Mukuro?
Meanwhile, Mukuro thought, as he came back to the cell, Well, that conversation was a bit awkward... Maybe Kuro-sama dealt him with a little justice... Heh.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"LAMBO, Give it to me!" shouted Tsuna.
"Nyahahah, you're not going to get it!!"
"LAMBO!!"
"WAAHH, the Bazooka!"
Pop. In the midst of the pink smoke, a brown blur dashed to the side.
I can't be seen. For the sake of her, I can't be seen, not yet. It ran and jumped out the window, to the neighbor's yard. The Chihuahua in the yard started barking rapidly. The month-old light Chocolate Retriever puppy made for the gate, and squeezed through. However, he had been running so fast that he hadn't the time to stop when he collided with a certain silver-haired adult.
Gokudera was kneeling, previously sitting before his Boss ten years ago, and after a few seconds, a young puppy had collided with him. The puppy thought, Who-who is this... Ah, could it be... Gokudera-dono?!?!
"JUUDAIME!!!" Gokudera had turned into the personality of his 10 years ago counterpart. The puppy thought, Isn't it supposed to be Gokudera-dono to hug me only when I've finished my missions? Such a childish Storm Guardian... I need to fix that one day...
Who knew that Gokudera had actually been hugging Giotto, the Vongola Primo? Who knew that the Primo had been referring to the Gokudera in his life, the first Storm Guardian? Who knew that Gokudera was actually right for the first time, to recognize without flaw that this was his rightful Juudaime?
However, let us follow the chronological order that of the young Sawada Tsunayoshi and see his life the order he has. However, I must show you a few things before we go that way.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
An Extremely Long Time Later also in the Past....
Reborn had disappeared. Tsuna had disappeared. Gokudera had disappeared. Yamamoto had disappeared. Kyoko, Haru, I-pin, and Lambo have all gone, too. Hibari stared at the blue sky, decorated with the occasional cloud.
Ah, but I haven't seen Espér yet. Has she disappeared as well? Hibari was worried about her. He frowned. Nah, she can do anything. I'm sure she can do a lot more things I can do...
"Hibari-san."
"What is it?" he asked irritably.
"We've found Espér-san." Hibari sat up.
"Really." Hibari narrowed his eyes. He could not tolerate jokes right now. Kusakabe looked troubled and replied:
"She's-she's in the Cavallone hospital, and she's barely breathing, I really think you should go check on her." However, the Cloud Guardian was way ahead of him. He had already gotten up and sped down the stairs, on the way to his destination.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"Dino."
"Hibari." Their greetings were always strained.
"I'm here to see Espérer, and move out of my way. I need the room number."
"This way." Their conversations were always strained, too.
As the door swung open, Hibari saw Espér in the white hospital bed, surrounded with an assortment of machines. The heart beat rate stood at a low 23 beats a minute, displayed on a screen of one of the machines. Hibari stepped in, and Dino shut the door and left.
He looked out the window at the beautiful weather outside and then at Espér once again.
What happened? She looks older than before. She's wearing clothes I've never seen before, and they're singed at the edges. What happened to her? He looked at the records on the table beside her.
Mukuro had taken her here? Dam--it, he's done something to Espér. He looked at Espér in the face, took her hand, and promised her, "I'll personally wreck and bite to death the person who did this to you, I promise."
If he hadn't imagined it, he was sure, as he left the room, that she gave him a small, weak smile, full of gratitude, and a soft:
"Thanks, Kyou-nii."
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Back to the Future! (Also the name of a movie, so sorry I took it, it does not belong to me.)
Mukuro looked at Byakuran. He stared at him for quite a while, smile quite evident on his face.
"This is the moment when I possess you."
"Shall we enjoy an after-meal workout, then?" They smiled, and Rokudo Mukuro released his box.
-Byakuran better be useful... I need to find Sensei... Only if she were here.
-Rokudo Mukuro-kun, you don't know anything about that, nor me. I'll have some fun here.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
R-Roku-Rokudo Muku-kuro... It looks as if I've been thrown into the future... Well, this-this had been your last battle. I'll see you again properly, in Hell. Good luck, my student.
Sensei!
"This room is surrounded by a unique barrier which they say, doesn't let any type of thought pass through, let alone electromagnetic waves like light or electrical energy. Can you believe that?" Byakuran can be fearsome at times...
No, Rokudo Mukuro. He's lying. Of course, you can't leave, but I have power to transmit thought to you. I am the source, therefore, some characteristics are kept. I'm glad I can see you again, though, Rokudo Mukuro. Good-good bye...
"You don't have the Vongola Ring, so I have no interest in you. It's time for you to receive a true death."
No, it can't be! No!
Baka-Mukuro. Would you really believe him? He's really using all the power he's sucked out of me. No more thought transmission, though Mukuro could almost feel the pain and torcher as Byakuran took even more out of her to deliver the finishing blow on her student.
NO, SENSEI!! KURO-SAMA!! Hah... I'll get revenge on you, Byakuran, when I come back.
ililililililililililililililililililililililililililililililililililililililililil
"Fufufu... Rokudo Mukuro was a truly talented man... I'll have to praise his teacher for putting up with him for so long..."
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Tsuna looked at Spanner inquisitively.
"I told you, you've done it. You're done. Finished."
"No, I'm not done, Spanner. It still needs fixing."
"I'd say you're finished. You've perfected the X Burner, and I say you're done. All you have to do is to get to that Suoichi and his oh-so-great machinery."
"No, I-"
"He's right, Tsuna." Tsuna looked at Reborn with a raised eyebrow.
"You can't stay here any longer. You can't afford to be attacked right now. Plus, you have to get back to everyone else and check on them. You can't break through all the Millifore's forces alone."
Crash.
"So we've got some company now. Spanner, finish those contacts. I'll delay them." Tsuna readies himself against the new opponent.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
In the Past...
Hibari sat up, in the midst of pink smoke. So I'm taken to the past now? Heh, Genkishi's in for a surprise. Well, I'd better get going. Ah, that hurts. Where's Kusakabe?
"H-Hibari-san! Are you alright? And when have you put on that suit??" Nice timing, Kusakabe.
"No complaints, Kusakabe. I would like to see Espér in the hospital again...?"
"Very well, Hibari-sama. However, I advise you yourself to go stay in the hospital as well..." Hibari glared at Kusakabe.
"Eheh... Well I'd rather not bother you with that then..." Hibari stood up rather shakily and sprinted down the steps. I'd break this body if I have to, to see Espér. Being held by the Millifore is painful, according to the sources from that bast-- Mukuro.
Only if that wuss Dino would stop being an herbivore. I'd like to make this quick.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
THE FUTURE!!...
A few hours later, Tsuna, who was heavily injured but was healed up a bit by a somewhat weak Ryohei. The family has joined together once again, and Ryohei now had Lal Mirch on his back, considering the Non-Trinisette rays. Everyone else was a little healed up as well; Yamamoto's head no longer bled, Gokudera's a little less covered in wounds, Ryohei himself regained some of his EXTREME, Hibari no longer trailed in the back of the group, and Chrome's bruises were treated. Even Mukuro was hit with the Bazooka, and joined the battle. The only Guardian by far not hit by the Bazooka was Ryohei, and also the only one in a suit. Kusakabe, along with Lambo and Ipin, also joined the battle...
Most of the Millifore with the Mare Rings were defeated; that is, except Byakuran and Irie Suoichi. As reported by Dino in Italy.
As the seven raced down the corridors and slammed open doors in their way, they met up with a voice and it's owner, standing before the last door.
"Ah, Tsuna. You've come, even with your little family! I've been looking forward to your presence."
"Irie Suoichi." Tsuna glared at the Millifore Captain.
"If you're looking for your friend, Rokudo Mukuro, Boss had already burnt his body," said Suoichi with a wicked, twisted smile. Tsuna was horrified that the high school student he had seen before in the past would turn into this type of monster.
"That was my older side, Suoichi."
"Ah, so Mukuro is here, too? My, my, my. This is getting a little interesting, eh?" The wicked smile crept back to his lips. Hibari twitched. Only I get to smile like that, Herbivore.
"We only wish to pass. We can battle you later on." This time, Ryohei spoke.
"Oh, Vongola, are you underestimating me? Your pearl I have under control. You don't want me to hurt it, do you?"
"..."
"Oh, a Boss who does not know his duty?" Irie smiled, ever so similar to Byakuran. "Ever since you, the Boss, died, Kuro-san was covering up for you, as the Eleventh. We've captured her... And what are you going to do about that, I wonder? The least of what you should know is that the pearl is the clam's treasure; under no circumstances can it loose it's most powerful fighting force." He grinned so evilly, as he thought to himself, They should have the brains to know that the whole operation isn't in Japan.
Tsuna gritted his teeth. So Kuro is here? How come? And how did she get involved? Didn't she nearly take down the whole mafia before? How could she not fight back in this time? When did she become part of the Vongola?
"And guess what, Vongola? You're all good as dead meat, since I've taken all of your rings."
"What? They were destroyed!" snapped Gokudera.
"Tch. Even though you still have yours, I've taken all of the rest of your rings, including the Unfinished Sets. Boss has it now." The Vongola invaders gritted their teeth.
"Grr... YOU-"
"Gokudera, no. Don't do anything reckless. We are to return alive and safe in the past. Anyways, he could be lying. Remember, he's a captain, and probably one of the better ones. Be careful."
"Y-Yes, Juudaime."
"Well, should we get started then." Irie Suoichi took out his Mare Ring, flickering in a flame of yellow. A Sun flame? thought Tsuna.
"Gokudera, Yamamoto. Let's do this."
