Well here's the fic.
( First one there )
Three days had passed since their last trial and their dinner with the marked ones, and once again they stood in rocky field awaiting for their next mark one trial. They didn't have to wait too long because soon Misty, mark one of the cloud, appeared before them with an amused smirk on her face. She was wearing a black vest with a black long dress that reached to her angles and she also was wearing a violet color cloak.
" Welcome to my trial Vongolas. As you know, I'm Starlight Misty and I will be your opponent today." she then chuckled " Thou I'm not going to fight some weaklings and a semi strong boy there." she said referring to Hibari. " No, today we will be having a race."
" A race?" the alcobareno asked.
" You mean you won't fight us?" Gokudera added.
Misty shook her head " No. Unlike the others, I do not hold back. I may at the beginning, but once I get into it there is no way you could beat me. This would've been over in minutes. So, I came up with another way to give you a chance to actually win. Thus, the race. But you won't be the only one competing in the race." she smirked at her last words.
" What is that suppose to mean?" the twins asked when their intuition warned of danger as they heard a trigger being pulled. They quickly jumped away dodging the rapid fire stream aimed at them. The both looked toward the source of the shot when their eyes widen.
" It means that we will be participating too. You lousy stinking trashes."
" Xanxus!" Tetsua said while he growled.
" What are you and the Varia doing here!" Tsurugi hissed. Both him and his brother glaring at the assassin group before them.
Misty was the one who answer " Why, they're here to participate as well. They will be competing for their freedom since they've been put behind bars for their crimes, while you'll be competing to pass this trial and on to Tsunayoshi's trial. Which if I'm not mistaken some of you have been dying to get. This trial will test your determination, if one of the Vongolas being trialled crosses the finish line then they all proceed to the next trial. If one of the Varia crosses the finish line then they'll all be set free and you guys failed the trial. Everyone will be participate in the trial."
The Vongola and the Varia glared at each other before turning to to the model. " We're do we go and what is our destination?" the twins asked.
At that moment a pair of dragons wings sprouted from her back, but they looked a bit odd for the feathers looked like rose petals while vines with thorns moved from her back. Her eyes slitted as her nails and canines sharpened. With an elegant flap of her wings she was hovering in the air. She pointed to her left at the horizon "You will head that way and continue to move in that direction until you spot a tree born from my flames. Once any one of you touches it the race is over."
" How will we know which tree is your tree?" Gokudera asked boldly.
Misty smirked " Trust me it's hard not to, when you see it you'll know. The race starts now."
At that moment Hibari used his ring on many boxes unleashing many spiked hedgehogs that instantly began to roll and collide with a large amount of vines with spikes surrounded with cloud flames, that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, protecting box the Varia and the Vongolas " Wao. You certainly work fast carnivore." he smirked.
" What can I say, I'm itching to blow you away." she return the smirk before she took out what appeared to be a pair of dragon claws with very long fingers. She then open them, revealing them to be a pair of fans " Now, for those hedgehogs." she swung one of the fans creating a stream of wind, which also carried rose petals in it, that headed straight for the box weapons and taking them out.
" Hibari let's go, we can't engage her now. Let's move !" the twins shouted and both parties moved in the direction given to them.
" Oh, trying to make a run for it?" she commanded her vines to assault the group. Everyone was moving wildly, dodging the rain of vines that slammed into the ground with intense force. Somehow they all manage the escape making Misty chuckle in amusement " Let the race begin."she said as a flower surface through the ground engulfing her whole before it sinked back into the ground, with her inside it.
The Vongolas were all moving using their flames to increase their speed, while also battling the Varia group alongside them. The twins were dodging Xanxu's bullets with their X-gloves as the tried to deliver a blow to the scar man, only for him to avoid the blows using his guns. Their struggle continue as the move forward while the rest were battling with their respective opponent from the ring battle.
A few miles ahead, Sky was sitting on his dragon's forehead looking in the distance. He had a smile on his face and was resisting the urge to giggle like a school girl and failing, and quiet frankly his dragon did not understand. " Why the hell are you giggling like a school girl, you're a man! START ACTING LIKE ONE!" Ikazuchi roared.
Sky ignored the comment and laughed " I can't help it. This is a perfect way to impress Shin with my ability and then he'll fall in love with me!"
" Genius." the dragon rolled his eyes " Have you actually consider telling him how you feel about him?"
Sky looked at him with an raised brow " What? That's too hard, besides I could get rejected and I seriously don't want that."
" And blasting the brats until they become Kentucky's next menu is!"
" Of course!" he then notice movement in the distance " Here they come, Ikazuchi...fire away!"
The dragon sighed " Some one up there hates me for pairing me up with this nut case."
" Less whining more frying!"
The white earthbound dragon's tentacle raised up and let out stream of electrical waves, all charging up the clouds until a thunderstorm began to form. The battling group didn't seem to notice the change in weather until a lightning bolt came crashing down the earth. However, instead of disappearing like it should, the lightning bolt did not stop crashing down the earth, instead the energy still kept coming from the clouds. And to make things worse it began to move towards them.
" Voiii! What the hell is that thing!" Squalo shouted from the back of his shark box weapon.
Reborn, who was currently on one of Gokudera's mirrors, frowned " This feeling...it's the lightning marked one."
" Great!" the silver hair bomber mutter.
" Shishishishi. What's the matter kid? Afraid of a little lightning? Besides if this is all he's got then I don't see what's so great about these guys." Belphegor grinned. At that moment a large amount of lightning bolts stroked down the earth and moved toward them. " E-Eh?"
" Rule number one you bastard: Never question their abilities or it will backfire horribly." the bomber replied as he and the insane prince began to dodge the passing bolts.
" So this is the power of the Earthbounds, huh? Not too impressive." Xanxus mutter. He instantly regretted saying those words when a massive dragon rose from the his hiding spot and made to grab him. He used he guns to avoid the massive claw and manage to escape between the fingers " What the hell is that thing!"
" What's the matter Xanxus? Never seen an earthbound dragon before? After all they are their partners." The twins smirked at the scarred man. His replies however was trying to blast the twins with his guns while avoiding the rain of thunder.
After being almost squash and electrocuted the Varia and the Vongola manage to pass the giant dragon, who kept glaring at them. " Hm, he seems to have stop his attacks." Mukuro said while he used his mist flames to move.
" Well that's because they're not suppose to attack once you leave their zone." a voice said from above making the bunch look up. Misty was flying above them with an amuse smirk. " Along your path you will encounter the rest of the Earthbounds, all with the objective of not letting you pass and reach your goal." her smirk grew " Now then.." she pulled out her fans and threw them in front of the group. The weapons grew in size and joined together forming a large circular fan which soon was surrounded by cloud flames. The giant fan began to spin rapidly. It spin faster and faster until the surrounding flames where thrown to the front in a circular motion creating a spiral purple flame blast heading for the group.
Xanxus growled " Tch, you annoying witch. I will not yield to you!" he pointed his guns at the purple flame and blasted two stream made of his flames of rage. The two attacks collided, stopping each other in the process. That is until the purple flames began to grow in size and push back. " Tch, her flames are absorbing my flames of rage. At this rate, both our groups will be toast." he said as he struggle to maintain the purple flames back, thou in vain.
Hibari's eyes narrowed " Hmp."he said before he summoned another one of his hedgehogs. This one had blue spikes " Sonic, dig. Now." he ordered the blue spiked hedgehog which followed the order to the letter and began to spin faster than any other of the hedgehog and dug deep into the ground until a hole was left in his wake. The skylark turn to rest of the group " Unless, you all want to be the predators next meal, I suggest you move." he said as he jump inside the hole. Soon everyone followed his lead while Xanxus slowly made his way to the hole and when he was close enough he stopped his attack and jumped in as the cloud flames engulfed the land above.
Misty smirk " Well, well, well. They escaped thanks to Hibari again. That skylark is one tough guy to get rid off. Oh, well. Let's see how they handle the rest of the way." she smirked as she retrieve her weapons and flied away.
Miles away, a blue spiky ball emerge from the ground and after it the struggling Vongola and Varia. It was only natural that even when underground trying to escape destructive cloud flames they would still try to kill each other. Xanxus and the twins were at it again while Yamamoto and Squalo were swinging their swords at each other, Belphegor threw many of his knifes at the italian teen while said teen responded with his bombs and gun. Ryohei and Lussuria were both fighting with their arms, and sometimes leg, Levi had his umbrella out trying to electrify the little kid in the cow costume while said kid began to throw grenades like a maniac. Not to far from the rest of the contestants was Mukuro and Mammon, both trying to trick the other with their illusions, the only ones not fighting were Reborn and Hibari, but said prefect kept his eyes vigilant in case the cloud marked one showed up again.
" I can't wait...to fight her again." the prefect said while he smiled. For some reason fighting this teenager girl was making his blood pump faster, it made him feel alive.
As they continue their quarrel they enter an empty field. Something got their attention for the sky above glowed blue, but of course the glow came from thousands of knifes falling down like rain drops.
" Damn! It's Shin!" Tetsua growled while he summoned his shield protecting not only the Vongola but the Varia.
Xanxus looked at the scene before he turned to the blond " Oi, blondie." he said earning Tsurugi's attention " Lets call a temporary truth whenever we find one of these creeps. I don't think either of us will make it if we try to kill each other and try to avoid these guys."
Tsurugi frowned " Very well."
" Make no mistake thou, once we're out of their zone..." the man's eyes narrow to make his point " I will kill you."
Tsurugi nodded " That makes two of us." he glared but focus on the field as Azure appeared on the skies above them once the rain of knifes ended.
" It appears that they have survived master." Azure eyes the shield below.
The teal hair boy smirked " I gotta give Sky credit. He stall them better then I anticipated, they arrived fifteen minutes later than I calculated." his eyes landed on the giant shield " That thing has got to go." hi pointed his arm downwards. A bracelet of azure flames appeared around the hand and expanded until it form some sort of arc " Storm Drain." he said as multiple flame like arrows blasted from the arc while still attach to it. The hit many targets around the field and one of them was the shield covering the group. In mere seconds the shield began to dematerialized until it was gone along with everything else it touched.
" N-No way! How did you do that!" Tetsua said stunned.
" One of my many attacks. Storm Drain can instantly corrode anything it touches and in addition the energy from the flames or object it destroyed are transfer to me." Shin looked onto his partner " Azure, start bombarding the field."
" Yes master." Azure's orbs began to glow red until sphere of storm flames began to fall from the sky and onto the ground. Multiple explosions began to emerge as the spheres made contact with the ground. Azure flew around the field, spreading his storm sphere everywhere on the field.
Gokudera frowned before he turned to the psycho prince " Hey, to bastard!" he shouted getting Belphegor's attention " Can you create a barrier with your string? And if so, from what distance?"
" Shishishi. I see, yes I can. The distance would be this entire field." the maniacal prince grinned.
" Perfect!" he said as he moved out of the way of another falling sphere " Make the barrier now!"
" Although I don't like following orders, in this case I'll make an exception." he grinned as multiple knifes began to twirl around him before flying in the air and taking on many directions, making an invisible net of wires.
" Baseball freak and loud mouth, transfer your rain energy to the net of strings before a sphere hit it!" the silver hair shouted. Both rain guardians complied and soon enough a the net became a barrier of rain flames. The spheres that hit it instantly disappeared or exploded on contact. " Now everyone run!" Not thinking twice the Varia and Vongola made a mad dash toward the other end of the field.
Shin's eyes narrowed as he saw the group trying to get away " Azure, after them!"
The dragon roared as he dived to the ground, destroying the rain net in the process barely feeling it's effect. The massive dragon landed on the ground making it tremble as he began to give chase to the group. Upon seeing the massive beast practically on their tails, their speed practically skyrocket and by a hair manage to get out of the field. Azure growled at them before he took to the air and disappeared. Once out of the field the resume attacking each other.
The fight continue on. They mock, hit, blasted, ridicule, and everything one could think off. They didn't notice they entered another field, this one field with water, of course Hibari took note of this an almost groan " Please tell this field isn't for who I think it is." this got everyone's attention as they turned to look around and saw that they were surrounded by water.
" Oh no." the twins grimaced.
" VOIII! What's the big deal! The baseball brat and I have the advantage here!" the long white hair man said.
" Not with this marked one." Mukuro sighed.
At the moment a giant spear rose from below them, scrambling them in every direction before sinking in the water. " What the hell! This things is not even 2 inches deep!" Xanxus shouted before a he heard a laugh.
" HAHAHA. FOOLISH NONE BELIEVERS! THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE POWER OF YAOI! FEAR IT!" Neo shouted from the top of a boulder away from the group, gloating at her skills. " And don't even bother trying to kiss your brother again because this time it won't work. You know why..." she grinned as she pointed at her eyes " I'M WEARING A BLINDFOLD! SO NOW VICTORY IS MINE! Nautilus, could you be a dear and eradicate this guys?" she asked sweetly.
The long spear appeared from beneath them many times and in different places, making it impossible to pinpoint where the dragon was. Tetsua dodge before he got an idea " Hey Neo, can you hear me!" he shouted.
Neo moved her head in another direction, trying to find the source of the sound " Why yes, quiet well. Why?"
The brunet grinned before he got close to his brother " Hey bro, play along, ok?" he grinned " Oh, Tsurugi that feels so good!" he moaned loudly and turning to look at the blue hair girl and was please to see that she was had a disbelieve look.
Tsurugi blinked before he grinned getting the idea and followed his lead " Ngh..ohh...right there Tetsua!" he moaned louder.
The Varia looked at the twins like they had finally snapped. Xanxus shook his head " Poor trashes, so they finally snapped under the pressure." he sighed " I guess I better put them out of their misery." he loaded his guns but was stop from doing anything by Reborn.
" Trust them. This is her major weakness."
The twins continue to make loud and erotic sounds. Neo's mouth dropped as she was hearing the entire thing and being the major Yaoi fan that she was her imagination was getting the best of her. The sounds were making here picture the scene, a fake scene, as clear as day and she new that it was only a matter of time before it got the best of her.
Tetsua smirked as he pretended to be panting " Ngh...Ok Tsurugi...I'm putting it in."he said in a low husky tone but loud enough to hear. His twin made a louder noise and soon enough they heard a splash in the distance. Once again Neo was knocked out in the water, a small trail of blood trailing from her nose. The twins grinned before the blue dragon Nautilus rosed from the water.
They all got ready to fight but the female dragon sighed, covering her nose " Just...go."
Everyone was confused but decided not to question it and left. They all flew at high speed but the one in front was Xanxus, since he took advantage of the others when they were trying to get out of the quicksand and the raging stone dragon Taiyou. The twins were in hot pursuit, if he win this race then everything was all for nothing. They were currently flying in the passage made of nothing but stones and dirt, not very roomy either.
Tetsua was gritting his teeth in frustration when his blood started to pump faster and he became excited for no reason. ' This feeling...could it be..' he thought as he looked forward, passed Xanxus, and sure enough he saw someone standing in the middle of their passage.
The scarred man notice that one of the twins was not attacking him which stroked him odd. He momentarily looked at the brunet guardian of the Sky only to see that his eyes were focus and determined. He looked ahead to what he was seeing and sure enough saw someone. " What the hell is he doing here!"
In front of them, Tsuna was starring back at Tsurugi with a smirk. The marked one of the sky was in his hyper dying will mode, the flames on his forehead burned proudly as he crouched close to the ground and place both his palms on the ground. " Hi bro. Miss me? Cause I've sure missed you!" a trail of spikes made of ice made their way toward the coming group as they grow and enlarged themselves.
Xanxus gritted his teeth " This thing again." he growled as he flied close to the rocky wall to try and dodge from the distance, only to find a portion of the ice moving out of the rest and heading for him. The man cursed as he slowed down his speed to think of a plan.
Tetsua, however, didn't slowed his speed down until he came to a short distance between him and the ice and did the same thing Tsuna did, spreading his own ice toward the incoming one. The two ice collided with each other clashing violently, both crystal shattering in pieces and prevented each other from moving ahead. The moving group took advantage of this and flied over the colliding attacks. Tetsua grunted, but stayed focus until everyone had passed. The last one to passed him was Gokudera, and that was because he didn't want to leave him there alone but he order the Italian bomber to move, and once out of the way he gave one last push before blasting from the spot. Tsuna's ice began to consume Tetsua's ice but the young Vongola boss manage to pass just in time before the ice blocked the passage.
The sky guardian pass right beside Tsuna as time seemed to slow done for the two staring at each other " I can't wait to fight you." he said with a smirk.
Tsuna returned the smirk feeling his excitement growing as well " Then I'll be waiting for you after you win this." he said before his younger brother rocket passed him and continuing the race. He chuckled to himself " Tsu-kun's going to kill me once he finds out I went easy on them." he grinned mischievously " Nothing I can't handle later." he used his gloves to fly into the air and head into an unknown direction.
With the race, Mukuro had gained the lead thanks to Tetsua's distraction. Of course that meant he had to dodge the Varia's attack since he was in front of them while his comrades were behind them " Oya, oya..." he sighed " … how the hell are those guys planning on winning this race if those mafia good for nothing are behind the psychos/ brainless monkeys?" he slammed his trident against the ground sending a shock wave toward the Varia, making them scramble and giving enough space for Tsurugi to reach Mukuro.
Their environment began to melt before twisting and changing. The light began to dim until they found themselves floating in darkness with the only source of light being small dots, that appeared to be stars. If that was the case then they were currently in outer space. Tsurugi was looking around until he heard movement from behind. Swiftly he turned and came face to face with Xanxus.
The blond growled " So, you caught up huh? Well, I'll fix that!" he charge and aimed a well aimed fist on Xanxu's gut.
The scarred man growled " Damn you! Since when did you use your fist to fight you ape!" Xanxus growled as he punched Tsurugi on his left cheek making him back away.
" Look who's talking! Bastard like you should drop dead!" he said as he deliver another blow to the man. The two began to fight each other with their fist, neither willing to back away until the suddenly they found themselves grappling with the other. Tsurugi gritted his teeth, trying to push the man before him. ' Something is not right...I'm fighting Xanxus, but why does it feel like I shouldn't?' Both were struggling with the other until the image of Xanxus slowly faded away, leaving the figure of his twin brother, bruised in all the places he had landed the blows on Xanxus. " T-Tetsua!" the blond shouted in confusion.
" Tsurugi!" the brunet eyes widen in surprise before they both backed away " But...you were Xanxus a moment ago!"
" I thought you were Xanxus!" the other replied.
" Kufufufu." the twins heard the unmistakable laugh and turned to see Mukuro shaking his head " You were both caught in an illusion, my dear little Vongolas and by the look of things so did everyone else except for the Alcobarenos." he smirked as Reborn stood beside him and Mammon hovered over him.
The twins turned around and indeed found the other fighting against themselves or simply staring into space. Mukuro used his eye and undid the illusion around them, but not the one changing their surroundings.
" VOOOIIIII! What the hell is going on!" Squalled demanded.
" You were all trapped in an illusion, possible created by the Earthbound boss." Mukuro answered as his smirk grew.
A chuckled echo inside the space the were trap " Close, illusionist. You did very good on tricking them on your very first run baka decchi."
" Thank you shishou, thou it still wasn't enough to fool Mukuro." another voice joined the first one before there surrounding disappeared and return to normal. Standing in the center of the passage was Tsukuyomi alongside Zeo, who was grouching close to the ground smirking.
The raven chuckled " Even so, you mange to make the rest take damage from your little prank. You did well." he then turned to the Vongolas smirking before black flames began to surround the both of them " Consider yourselves lucky, because if you were trap in one of my illusions, I assure you...you won't get out until I say so." with that they both vanish.
The mist guardian frowned ' That guy will be impossible to beat if it comes down to a fight with him. I must prepare myself before his trial or else none of us will make it out alive.' he though grimly. He the smirk as he use his flames to fly away from the group, leaving them confused before realization hit them and quickly continue their way.
Minutes passed as the group continue their race/battle before something bright caught their eyes. Ahead of them was something burning in the distance, but it wasn't being consume by the flames. A giant oak tree with burning cloud flames leafs could be seen in the distance standing proudly among the others normal looking oak trees, while the sun set in its back perfectly giving it a holy look.
" Tenths! Look!" Gokudera shouted in awe.
Belphegor simply laughed " Shishishishi. We can all see the giant burning tree in the distance Mr. Points out the obvious."
They were getting close by the minute and Mukuro was in the lead, followed by Hibari and Squalo while the rest where behind when Misty appeared from a flower bud that burst out of the ground. She spread her wings and took flight " Congratulations on making it this far. Now let's see how you handle my last obstacle." as the said this the ground began to shake violently. From behind the tree a giant dragon rose above it, turning his massive head toward the competitors.
This beast was different like the rest. It's scales were onyx black and his eyes glowed purple. Like Misty, his giant wings feathers look like rose petals, the scaly neck connected to the shoulder was surrounded by rose petals and so were the hilt of his legs and some parts of his body. It walk on four legs and had two long antennas coming from his head, each one surrounded by many petals. On it's forehead had petals in the form of a crest, making him look like an emperor or something close to royalty while purple lines run across his body.
" Kukukuku. My,my. So I finally get to play with the little Vongola toys? This handsome, and completely devilish, dragon can now have some real fun." the black dragon said with a smirk.
" Kufufufu. Why does that dragon's way of speaking sound so familiar?" Mukuro asked raising a brow.
Hibari turned his head to look at the illusionist like he had asked the most idiotic thing in the world " You're kidding, right?"
" Shinya, stop wasting time or I'll blow you away." the marked one of the clouds said coldly.
Shinya chuckled at this " My, aren't I the lucky one to get paired up with this cold hearted woman. Very well then, I shall crush them for you and bathe in their blood." he smirked as thousands of vines rosed from the ground, all with large spikes on them. The vines moved swiftly in the air, all coming done like arrows from the sky.
Hibari once again summoned his hedgehogs to aid him, as they began to roll toward the dreaded vines. However, instead of stopping the vines like the first time the vines went right through the poor creature, mercilessly making them disappeared back into their boxes before slamming into the ground. The Vongola and the Varia barely had time to move, for they were so many and upon making impact the very earth shook.
" Everyone scatter!" the twins shouted, moving toward the tree but a cry stop them on their tracks.
The vines had coiled themselves around their family and friends, making the squirm as the spiked leaved gashes on their skin. To make matter worse the Varia had somehow manage to escape and were now closing in on them and toward the tree. Both twins looked at their friends then at the tree, they were so close to finishing this race but if the reach the tree their friends will have severe injuries. The twins turned to each other and with a grim nod both turned around and headed for their friends while the Varia rocket passed them and headed for the tree.
Tetsua and Tsurugi both froze the vines carefully and broke them in pieces letting their slightly injured friends out of their predicament.
" The race is over!" a voice boomed above them. Misty slowly descended to the ground and turned toward the victors of the race. " The winners of the race are...The Vongola Independent Assassination Squad, the Varia!" she said as she reverted back to normal " As agreed, Tsukuyomi will speak with your captors and you will be set free immediately." Misty said in a monotone voice.
Xanxus smirked and nodded before he walked away with the rest of his group who were now celebrating their freedom. The marked one of the cloud turned toward the Vongola " Vongolas you have fail to reach the finish line and you know what that means, right?" she stated making the entire group dropped their head in defeat, minus Hibari who smirked, not noticing the secret smile she gave them " It means you all pass your trial as well."
She almost laughed at the shocked faces she received " What! But we..." the twins started but Hibari cut them off.
" Herbivores, do you have problems hearing what she said in the beginning? She said this trial was to test our determination, the objective was to reach the finish line. If we did then maybe we would've pass automatically, but if we didn't then she would decide base on our action whether we pass or not."
" Correct." Misty nodded " You guys could've won if you let the rest of your family to fend of for yourself, but if you did that I would've failed you for sure. You guys risk your trial for the sake of the rest of your family, you showed me your determination at that moment. After all, what's a family without those who care around you? Nothing. Congratulation Vongola you passed your fifth trial."
" Kukukuku. Well aren't you the noble one? However, I would be lying if I wasn't hoping they'd win. Now we can all see the match we been itching to see. Plus now Tsukuromi owes me. Aren't I the lucky dragon?" Shinya smirked while Misty rolled her eyes.
The twins smirked with excitement " Yeah. Next in line is our brother, Sawada Tsunashi."
The long awaited battle between the Vongolas and Tsuna is up next. How will things turn out? And will Tsukuyomi ever stop betting? Find out next week!
