Chapter 20
I blink, staring at the monitors. Bel is staring at the ground with his weird smile while Gokudera is looking slightly confused.
"Gokudera-kun..." Tsuna says quietly. He's gripping my hand tightly.
Then, all of a sudden, the donkey prince starts laughing loudly, nearly scaring the crap out of me.
Gokudera narrows his eyes and whips out his bombs. "Rocket Bomb!" And he sends them flying right at him. But I twitch. Something's about to happen. Something bad.
Bel leaps(?), whipping his knife around and slicing off the fuses, using the force of the explosions to propel himself forward and almost right in Gokudera's face. With a rapid motion almost in the speed of light, he cuts off the tops of the dynamite, and real closely, there's a nick on his face.
"What's going on?! The knives didn't even hit me!" he cries out, a look of disbelief on his face.
"AHHH!" I look back up at the monitors; I haven't realized that I've been looking down. Bel is airborne, his knife in one hand.
"No way!" Gokudera takes out one of his small bombs, quickly lights it, and flicks it upwards. The explosion knocks them both away from each other, Bel collapsing to the ground and Gkudera wiping off his forehead and coughing.
Get up, I say mentally to the dumb boy. Get up or he'll get you!
He gets up. Thank God.
"Wait for me~..." Oh, jeez. On the monitor is Bel, who sends a knife flying toward Gokudera's leg. The fabric of his pants rips, even though the knife didn't even come close.
"The hurricane turbines will begin exploding in 6 minutes," the loudspeaker announces. In 6 minutes, this creepy battle will end, one way or another.
Gokudera looks up, obviously startled, before turning around and running down the corridor, into the library. Bel quickly follows.
I almost want to bite my nails, even though I quit the habit almost 2 years ago. Tsuna looks at me nervously, taking my hand again.
They're in the library now. Gokudera gets up and starts to do something, then freezes in his tracks. I squint. Whatever's happening to him, it's not visible.
"What's the matter, octopus head?!" Ryohei nearly screams.
"Gokudera-dono, thou canst not stop!" Basil yells at the monitor.
"You need to run!" Tsuna says loudly.
Yamamoto looks nervous, and he grips the hem of his shirt.
I can't help it. I start biting my nails, and I close my eyes.
...It's the wires again. He embedded his knives in the walls, missing on purpose so the wires would trap him in. The results of this battle are really slipping out of my head. Out of fear, I continuously bite my nails.
"Shishishi~ The end~" Bel chuckles sadistically.
"...For you," Gokudera finishes, looking up. That's when I spot it: lit gunpowder fuses heading toward the bookcases. Before I know it, the powder ignites, throwing debris everywhere. Even though it's all in a camera, I flinch.
He throws his dynamite towards Bel, which I later realize is attached to hooks, and throws another round of Rocket Bombs just to finish it off. I almost manage to smile. It's done. It's all over.
He walks over and kneels next to the almost dead prince boy thing, and reaches for the ring.
That's when the prince zombie resurrects and makes a snatch for the ring. They then start to grapple for it, throwing wild punches and yelling crap. I hear the baby, Mammon, talking about some princely instincts driving him forward.
I close my eyes and turn away. Screw the Lightning battle; this is my worst nightmare.
The overhead speaker crackles to life. "It's almost time," one of the weird mask girls says, and, almost as if on cue, two of the hurricane turbines radiate purple light, and they explode. From the speakers, it'll take at least one minute for the explosions to reach the library.
"T- that's terrible!" Tsuna cries out, gripping his head. "At this rate, Gokudera-kun will-"
"Die along with the enemy," Reborn finishes, continuously staring at the screen.
BOOM!
"What are you doing, octopus-head? Get moving!" Ryohei is practically screaming at the monitor now.
"Shut up! I'm doing it!" Gokudera yells, his voice tinny in the speaker. He's rolling around on the floor, yanking on Bel's hair and they collide into a bookcase, spilling books everywhere.
I hear Shamal say something about wounds. Meanwhile, Gokudera's being choked by the sadistic prince.
BOOM!
"Fifteen seconds have passed; forty-five seconds remain."
"Give up your Ring and come back, Hayato!" Dr. Shamal says loudly.
"Don't kid with me, perverted old man!" said person yells, slamming his fist into Bel's face. "If I lose, with one win and three losses, we're finished! We'll lose from a lack of manpower!"
"You're opponent's broken!" Shamal replies. "This isn't even a fight anymore! Come back!"
Gokudera's green eyes look fierce. "I'm not coming back empty-handed! The name of the Tenth's right-hand man would be shamed!"
My mouth gapes, and I can't seem to close it. Gokudera's still obsessing about the right-hand man thing?! At a time like this?!
BOOM!
"Tenth! If I win, the tide will change! Please just leave it to me! I can do this much!"
"Gokudera!" Yamamoto yells.
"Octopus-head! Just come back here!" Ryohei hollers.
BOOM!
"Twenty seconds until it reaches the library."
"Hayato! Did you forget what I taught you before your training started?!"
"I can't back down now, even if I die!"
"Knock it off!" Tsuna's voice entering this horrible conversation shocks me out of my daze. "Why do you think we're fighting?!"
I blink. Everyone's looking at him. I've never seen him this confident before.
"We're all going have a snow fight and watch fireworks together! That's why we're fighting! That's why we grow stronger! I want to laugh with everyone, but if you die, it's all meaningless!"
Gokudera looks shell shocked. It looks like he said something, but I don't know what.
Then his eyes narrow. Mine widen. The turbine's gonna explode in-
BOOM!
I have not noticed it now, but the monitors have turned off with every explosion that occurred. There is nothing but static. My knees feel weak, and I almost collapse, until someone supports me by the shoulders. It's Yamamoto.
"He'll be alright," he says to me quietly, but I feel like he's saying it to mostly reassure himself.
Basil winces. Ryohei screams. Tsuna falls on his knees, saying, "No way... I can't believe it." Tears threaten to spill out of his eyes, and now I feel like crying myself.
Then...
"Look over there," Reborn says. I look up; my gaze had drifted to the floor.
Out of the thick smoke, I see the silhouette of a person. A boy. Gokudera. I almost weep.
We all run towards him; the infrared sensor had turned off, and he collapses to the floor. We all kneel next to him, and he mutters something about apoligizing to the "tenth", and how Tsuna's nice words are wasted on him.
"Yamamoto... Miwako-san..." Said people look at him. "It's up to you guys now." He then looks up with a desperate (kinda funny) expression. "I don't want to be asking you two!"
"The Ring of Storm is in Belphegor's hands," the Cervello say, appearing out of the thick smoke along with the Varia. "Belphegor will be declared the victor of the match."
"VOOOIII! What a laughable ending! Your lives are hanging by a hair!" Squalo the feminine swordsman with the extremely long hair says.
"And your Mist and Cloud guardians have yet to appear," Mammon adds in. "I hope it doesn't end in a default win for us."
"We will now announce the next match." Tsuna looks worried, and he talks to Reborn about the Mist and Cloud match. I close my eyes.
"Tomorrow's night match will be..."
Everyone looks anticipated. Gokudera leans against Ryohei for support while I look at Tsuna.
"...Snow."
The creepy lady that's standing next to the big machine smiles evilly at me. I meet her gaze right back, without the smile.
"The next match will be between the Guardians of Snow."
Tsuna looks horrified. Yamamoto squeezes my shoulder a little too hard. Ryohei's mouth is gaping open. Gokudera looks nervous and worried.
"Oh~ So it's Victoria next?" Mammon says pleasantly(?).
Victoria simply smiles. "It's me against the little rat, huh?" She grips her spear. "We don't need a fight. I'll just kill her right now."
In response, I whip out my cards. One look in Victoria's eyes confirms my suspicions that have grown over the days.
I will die. That is final.
umm... hows this? sorry if it sucked and i haven't written in a while so this might be a little crappy but i'll deal w/ it so miwako's battle is next i'll try 2 make it good i already have some ideas 4 it and plz look forward 2 it :)))
