Ch 24 : Captured Sky
[ Inside of Estraneo Base ]
"We are under attack! I repeat, We are under attack!" Someone announced through the speakers.
"Hey? If we are under attack, why aren't they sounding the evacuation alarms?" A random personnel asked his companion.
" I heard Akuma-san is fighting in the front lines." His friend answered.
" Eh?! That Akuma?! "
"Yeah. Let's just pray for their souls."
"Dude. Is that mercy killing?"
"Maybe?"
*Stare*
"Oh c'mon! Akuma from the White Circle Division is worse than the failed experiments and coldblooded monsters of the Red Division! And the fact that he annihilated them singlehandedly just proves that he's more monstrous!"
"Yeah. Let's pray for their poor souls."
[ Outside of Estraneo Base ]
*BOOM!*
*Bang!*
Sounds of explosions and gun fires resounded the whole battlefield.
"Backup teams from East and West have arrived!" Someone shouted.
"The backups from the South has also arrived!" Another shouted.
"Lower Ranks! Avoid engaging combat against that man with a scythe!" Turmeric shouted from the sides as he fight another guard.
*Swoosh!*
A sharp metallic red blade sliced in the air. Everyone on the front line battlefield stopped dead on their tracks and stared in shock at the man holding a red double bladed scythe.
"Oops. Sorry about that, its because you were on my attack range." The man said in monotone.
Then they have just noticed a pair of headless bodies laid on the ground in a pool of blood.
Hooded black trench cloak, half silver-metal mask, and a bloody red metallic double bladed scythe! He's Shiromaru Akuma!
He really looks like a death reaper!
The forces from the Vongola slightly backed away in fear. But they have a mission to accomplish: Rescue Sawada Tsunayoshi!
"Ciaossu~" A squeaky voice greeted.
"We'll be your opponents, kora!" Another squeaky voice said.
"Fine. I'll just kill you then." Akuma said monotonously and a rare smile graced his lips.
"You're a hundred years early to be declaring you can kill us, brat!" Lal shouted angrily.
"Let it go, Lal. We must focus on bringing him down." Iemitsu said and critically stared at their opponent, studying every single movement he does.
"Heh. Bring me down?" The hooded figure asked as he twirl his bloodied scythe on his hand. "You must be dreaming"
"Enough talk." Reborn said impatiently. Reborn, Colonello, and Lal aimed their guns at the man and began shooting.
~x~
*Tap* *Tap*
*Crunch* * Snap*
Running footsteps could be heard in the dense forest. Dried leaves and broken twigs scattered everywhere that it crunches and snaps as the runner stepped on them.
*pant* *pant*
Tsuna stopped on his run and sat on a tree base. He's having a hard time catching his breathing.
Sensei hasn't caught up yet?
He furrowed his brows as he realized something.
When you said that you'll meet me by the end of this forest, were you lying? Did you lie just to let me run away and leave?
A tear rolled down his cheek.
As always, you're an idiot doctor. Kirado-sensei.
~x~
"What the fuck is he?!" A random mafioso shouted in disbelief.
"He... He's on par with three Arcobalenos and the External Advisor?!" Another mafioso shouted.
"I can't believe this!" A blond girl - Oregano - exclaimed.
"He's a monster." Turmeric whispered.
"Is that all you got?" Akuma taunted.
If guns don't give you shit...
Reborn ran forward and engaged him in a close combat. Even Lal and Colonello threw their guns away and started engaging Akuma in a martial arts battle.
Iemitsu was on the sides, being tended by medics. He had a deep wound on the stomach, courtesy of the scythe sliced at him.
Iemitsu stared in shock as he saw how well Akuma handles the three infant hitmans.
Then his gaze fell on the main entrance of the base, another set of guards are coming out and battling their forces.
~x~
I gotta go. Sensei's sacrifices would be a waste if I get captured again. Tsuna reminded himself.
He stood up and prepared to run again, but he felt tensed as the atmosphere turned heavy.
Mists creeped out behind the surrounding trees. He trembled as the atmosphere turned cold.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, or should we call you Shiromaru Akuma?" A deep voice called out. Tsuna spun around hesitantly and shivered as he saw three cloaked men wrapped in bandages like mummies.
"You shall undergo strict observation before you can be released in the civilian world." An infant wrapped in bandages said.
*clank!*
Before he knew it, a cold metal collar with chains clamped around Tsuna's neck.
What?!
"You shall come with us and we will judge you if you're a danger for everyone on earth"
Then a black portal appeared out of no where and without any warning, they dragged Tsuna inside it.
Tsuna tried to struggle but he found himself unable to use his flames.
Shit! NOOOOO!
