Chapter 24: Tsuna's Awakening.
Higashiazabu, Tokyo; 05:59 hrs.
Sometimes impatience could be a virtue compared to the contrary attitude which was considered much more correct. Waiting was a luxury right now. So Rin could not blame the impulsive behavior of Illyasviel, the half Homunculus girl brought destruction in her wake eliminating any obstacle that was interposed, but causing damage to the buildings of passage. She knows how important that child is to her, but among all, Berserker gave off too much Prana which easily attracted Jiang Shi like flies. Yet this did not stop the savage attacks of the Greek hero who very easily made his way. The only reason the Einzbern has not separated from the group is to recognize that she cannot do everything by herself and need help if she want to save Vincent.
The biggest advantage they could have was the use of Fire Runes of Lancer of Red to take advantage of the high levels that Berserker of Red gives off and attract the Zombies. Yet they seemed to be surrounded more and more as they advanced. She feels a strong tremor and with it the radiant light emitted by the Tsukina Vongola's X-Burner that completely cleans the path where she moves. Resolves she has also come to stop Heng Wu.
It's complicated, they had to stay together, near Tohsaka, fire and be wary of not possessing destructive high-level attacks. Caren keeps the Black Keys with a firm grip, are the same that came to belong to her late father who was one of the best executors of the Church. Ironically one of the Main Weapons of the Church's Executors were one of her most valuable possessions and she came to learn how to use it. She learned part of the way of the Executor but did not enter fully into that work because she recognized that she did not have enough Skills to be an Executor.
Guilt and uncertainty pursue her, she feels responsible for the abduction of Vincent, who should have given her more attention and not lower her guard for a moment. Now that child was in the hands of that monster that has been the cause of countless deaths and wanted to rush to arrive as soon as possible, but cannot when recognizing will die if she is carried away by impulses.
Saber of Black maintains calm by cutting every enemy on the way. Her cold gaze emptied of emotion in the face of danger or when she cut one more of those Slavery Dead. She knows the feelings of her Master, she herself wants to hurry and save the little one, but it's not possible at the moment.
First they must get there. Matou herself used one of her Insect Puppets to scan the perimeter and found the steps that Wu took to avoid being able to go from above which forced them to go on foot... the Puppet was neutralized by the Barrier that was activated for a moment. That means that the Chinese Boss requires energy to lift it and wants to keep his Prana Reserves as high as possible and only use the Barrier when something that considers a threat tries to go from the air.
...
Archer of Red fires a Beam of Sky Flames that carbonizes more of the enemies. Because they have decided to arrive on foot is due to the defenses that Heng Wu possesses. The information that Basil was able to give them about what he learned from Tokyo Tower Base is a diversity of Talismans and Special Seals that will activate a Barrier that will absorb the Masters and Servants's Prana into the air and then eliminate them with heavy Weaponry like Anti-tank Machine Guns. That would leave them vulnerable and would be dangerous. It means they must make their way from the ground, enter the Tower and go up to reach Heng Wu to save the child and Iemitsu.
Next to Giotto, Enma/Daemon uses Earth Flames to facilitate their progress. It was not just them. He could feel the presence of other Servants and Masters, but not that of his abandoned descendants. He's not the only one looking for it. Tsukina and Ruler also do that when fighting and cutting enemies was impatient for something. Archer can hear the roar of Berseker in the far southeast. He himself knows that Daemon is having problems since his previous fight to use Illusions, hides something vital and knows the answer, something that causes him sadness and so he is willing to help Daemon to correct the mistakes made to save his friend Elena and his family who suffered for their mistakes.
The worrying thing was the problem of Ruler, she apparently stopped feeling the presence of the Grail shortly after the night in which the disaster occurred in the Theater. It's sure Byakuran was responsible and was a measure to avoid Vincent being assassinated by Daemon... that meant that if Ruler loses her Contract with Enma, she ends up returning to the Throne of Heroes as it happened with Saber of Red.
Ruler no longer has the Support of the Grail which made she equal to the other Servants, so if Enma dies, so will the opportunity of Daemon which indicates he knows this and will not leave the Enma's Body without importing anything in turn guarantees the current Donna Shimon will be the priority of Daemon giving in a certain way a guarantee that at least Spade don't hurting her.
Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo; 05:53 hrs.
Cut, pierce, stab, shoot, smash... that was the rhythm that Tsuna and Lancer of Black pursued in their career making their way to the Tokyo Tower. This somehow allowed lust for the battle of the Queen of Land of Shadows to be unleashed without problem. For his part the Sky Arcobaleno can keep up the pace. With the Chains, he destroys those who cross his way. Scáthach bends down allowing the Chain to move freely by destroying the surrounding enemies and getting too close. He had exhausted a great deal of Prana and Flames to complete his final work in the company of his Familiars and this battle was to end definitively with the War.
As they get closer, they find the Battle Zone looks like a real hell covered by the fire caused by the Sky Flames of Vongola and the Magecraft of Cú Chulainn. Everything in front of them is full of Kyonshii in the streets, many on the ground free of the Black Magic used to enslave them even after the dead, but many others still standing.
"Looks like we've gotten where we belong, are you ready?" The beautiful woman with two Lances questioned with a smile. Scáthach smiles because despite what Tsuna tries, she cannot describe this is nothing but a madness.
He is willing to risk putting his own life into play but in the process does the same with everyone else... she smiles because she has decided to believe in him. Lancer will not use her Clairvoyance anymore, because he has taught her the Future even written can be changed if one has the strength to fight and decide its own way and this is expressed in freedom in its many forms and one seeks to have.
Tsuna's life span is limited, the goal after winning the War is Kawahira's help to help Tsuna break the Seal in his Flames Core, but Noir does not overlook the likelihood of his own death, so he have Criticism Shot... he will use it if he is forced to wake up Fortuna Rebirth sooner than imagined and do it by means of his own death with the risk of dying in the attempt.
"Inside where possible," Noir responds with a smile at once all Jiang Shi are paralyzed by the effect of Gravity. "When I was a child, Jack told me: a shocking presentation can be useful to frighten and thereby facilitate things in case of a fight... I remember he said it is also useful to impress the ladies," the fire freezes at the same time lowers the temperature in the whole area thus attracting the attention of all present.
The incredible thing of all was a type of fog began to manifest itself and also gray clouds in the sky still dark, Crows flying over the perimeter and of the nothing begins to fall Snowflakes of paused form but light by all the Zone leaving confused to many. Without even imagining for a moment what it was all about.
"Don't you think?" Tsuna questioned with a casual smile at the slight flirtation he tried with her. Lancer of Black blushes without stopping to smile amused by him. "Can be," the Irregular Servant ends up accepting with good humor what her Master says.
...
For a nearby area, Luviagelita occupies the Folding Chair that she has been using as a Weapon thanks to Caster of Red's Personal Skill. The young Edelfelt makes her way easily using her full strength without being restrained although being cautious of not having too much contact with the Zombies.
"Trust me, Byakuran-san. I manage to open the way in your place." Luvia indicates in as much Caster stays in low profile from above observing the fierceness of his Master when fighting. They would be following the Plan according to what was established.
Today Heng Wu would fall as it should. Even so the famous writer was much more interested in seeing this point of History, if a certain assassin could be reborn from the tragedy where he will be taking his own life or mark a road of perdition for the present leading to a War without a winner... anyway would be seeing an important step that would mark the destiny of the World... a witness who was delighted with everything that was around him.
"We're about to see if you're more than just a secondary character; Tsuna Von Veckenschtein... your repentance and despair will be enough to save you or you will fall like the dream-led Ancient Empires that the World despise so cruelly." Shakespeare does not avoid expressing aloud anxiously for the moment that will open the way to the Future.
...
"Noir, eh?" The Irish demigod says as he realizes the arrival of the Ex-Vindice and his Shishou. Similar thoughts come to have the Tohsaka and his sister. What upset the older sister was Noir extinguished the Fire being that which facilitated things with the Jiang Shi and in its place has just complicated things for everyone. Illya does not avoid being irritated by the killer's actions.
Of course Illya recognizes why Noir took that action, it was to obtain energy at the expense of everyone as it happened in the Theater... what left her dismayed was the Snow falling on his arrival. She could see him from where she was, what confused her was to see the Zombies did not move. It made her realize Noir was in conspiracy with Heng Wu. Her thoughts of conspiracy are affected when he pulls out one of his Cards and throws it to the side. A dozen Kyonshii falls soon. With a single Card he ended up annihilating walking bodies in an instant.
...
The heir Tohsaka stares incredulously at the unique movement that could easily annihilate multiple enemies, almost as if he had thrown several in an equal number of dead... no, it was something different, almost as if split in an instant to end Several Targets in a few seconds and doubted more than one Card, there was only one that had happened to embed itself in the ground near the last Zombie in dying by said Card.
Lancer could feel it and see it to some extent. It was not a single Card that was divided, but one able to move and jump from one point to another. It was fast, but not impossible to evade... he's does smiling to find that Archer of Red really has very interesting descendants. Even so there is something in the Master of his Shishou that leaves him uneasy.
With a look of disbelief, Sakura has the images of that night... she had not seen him since. However now that she did, she remembers her future death sentence. If she gets to face him she knows she will lose. Noir knows perfectly her Magecraft and Weapon Boxes, as well as her Weaknesses, she herself knows this because he helped her years ago when she sought to improve Control in her Puppets without undoing herself in the process by receiving from him the suggestion of using Cores made of Prana to facilitate the Control without having to administer them all the time of Prana. The only card to have any chance of winning is Berserker of Black being one of the strongest Servants. If she does not, she will accept her death to pay for her crimes and treason.
...
Reborn, noticing Noir, happened to observe him, but between that single attack, for some reason made him feel some familiarity with Bermuda. Not only that, but the Hitman felt there is something completely different about Noir. As he see him eliminating with some ease the Jiang Shi, Reborn perceive something strange. Especially when he has already used more than twenty Cards without repeating the first one provoking in him more suspicions and it just seems to slow progressively on purpose when his Skills should be enough to do it without difficulties... almost as if Noir waited to gain time.
He supports Leon in his Form of Gun to use Chaos Shot that happens to multiply itself and to finish with several enemies hitting to the head. As soon as he does, Leon becomes a Shotgun with which he liquidates the hordes that come closer and closer. Try to use Sun Flames to improve his reaction and speed, but to his surprise you find something is interfering with his Flames causing the effect to be very weak.
It is not only the number one Hitman in the World, but all users of Deathperation Flames who could feel the magnitude of their use of Flames has been limited. Giotto could feel the cold beginning to affect him somehow. He could recognize the effect of his own Technique, but on a very different scale from greater power. He recognized Zero Point Breakthrough as being his original creator, but also Prana involved. He sees his descendant who, because of the Harmonization possessed by the Sky, she can adapt to this unknown phenomenon although it is sure to suffer the limitation of her power which meant problems.
...
Illya feels more tired, her movements more erratic being safe has nothing to do with the long time of fighting. Observes is not the only one in the place with said problem and this harms her Allies.
"Is the Snow." The half Homunculus even so notes the Servants do not seem to be affected by Snow except that their movements except Berserker, were slower.
"Sakura!" Einzbern listens to yell at Tohsaka, causing her to turn and see the Matou fall on her knees, weakened. The Puppets fall motionless to the Snow stained with blood and dirt. From there she turned to Noir who, unlike everyone, could move easily without being affected by the Cold Weather and even he looked comfortable. However when she happened to observe him, Illya noticed something important... the Jiang Shi were extremely slow.
...
The cold began to affect every body of flesh and bone. It wasn't normal Snow to be caused by Frost Canvas. The Crows of Salakief were flying over the entire Battle Zone and altered the Weather with Fortuna by means of the Abilities; Shinryako, Blackout, Arktisch and Endlessly. He can alter the climate with Shinryako's Ability by expanding on the Place the Effect of freezing power of Arktisch creating Snow with the properties of Blackout to Cancel much of the Dying Will Flames of those who are in its range except by Scáthach who by her Visions of the Future learned the use of Rain Flames so she was less affected greatly thanks to the Effect of Tranquility and thereby reduced immobility in her body.
Although this Technique was very advantageous, it had its defects because it occupied a great amount of Prana and Flames at the same time required the aid of Salakief in form of Ravens to spread and to Alter the Climate. The cold also affected him, but having lived in a cold environment and been trained for years in the cold area where Vendicare was, he could deal without problems with this. At the same time controlling Fortuna does not have its limited power. This is an effective Limiting Field created by Shinryako against Flames users, but those of Prana are not affected except by the cold.
The reason why Tsuna chose to use this tactic is due to the Jiang Shi. As they are resuscitated Corpses, lack of circulation of blood and heat in their bodies, their mobility is affected and with it gain an advantage to open the way and gain more time. This would not only limit the Kyonshii, but would exhaust the rest of Magus and Servants more easily... a risky and dangerous bet is what he seeks.
Tokyo Tower, Special Observatory; 06:38 hrs.
From his location in the last Observatory, Heng Wu sees through the windows the unhappy poor people who try to kill him. He admits not to have expected a Tactic like a Snowfall that would make it difficult for his Army of Zombies to move. Still, it doesn't matter. All the lower levels are full of Traps, Jiang Shi and other Tricks that will serve to eliminate the intruders. This place returned to his Base and Fortress, it was impossible to get through the obstacles.
"My lord," says Xian Long, who is somewhat worried about the large number of enemies trying to reach Base. "Do not worry, Xian Long. Even with the Jiang Shi in that state, it will be difficult for them to arrive. Our Tricks to deal with those who try to arrive by air will be enough to delay them. It will only be a matter of getting tired enough for the lower levels to eliminate them," confidently reassures his subordinate who bows.
Li Shuwen is bored with having to wait, but with all that is happening, it is likely today to end the War. Even with some luck he managed to get there and he could have a fight... maybe a decent fight.
Almost the Chinese man could feel the victory in his hands. These same upstarts have made things easier for him to be proud enough to come and challenge him at the door of his Fortress.
Kikai Shinko Kaikan, Minato-ku, Tokyo; 06:42 hrs.
This was taking longer than calculated. Luna with Rider and Caster of Black were taking too long to complete the preparations, Assassin of Black was from a high area watching and reporting on everything that happened on the Battlefield both to her Allies and Master. Noir fired with one of his Pistols, he was avoiding using the other to be the Weapon with Criticism Shot. Hits the heads and sees the corpses fall. Lancer of Black remains close to her Master and she already feels somewhat uneasy because of the others' delays in preparing the Wall of Fire around the area.
Determined that it was essential for Tsuna to regain his energies in order to fight against the other competitors once they eliminate Heng Wu. For that reason Luna and the rest would be placing Seals, Barriers and other preparations to form a Wall of Fire to surrounds the Zone. Tsuna with Blackout would recover the spent Prana in the last preparations to complete Fortuna Rebirth and could fight without needing to wake it or resort to Criticism Shot.
Using the Prana of the same Jiang Shi and the Lynelines occupied by Heng Wu, was from where they would obtain the energy to create the Wall of Fire with these preparations... a Wall able to cover the whole place and being a wide area and with this, Prana more that enough without the danger of accelerating the Curse of the Sky before the lack of power on the part of Noir.
The conditions created by Frost Canvas would equal the situation between the two sides being that the side of Tohsaka and Tsukina have numerical advantage, with Frost Canvas, Daemon Spade could not use his Illusions and could not escape or possess another body once he leaves the body of Enma Kozato... Scáthach really wanted Tsuna not have resort to something that could kill him. They just had to resist a little more until they finished.
Something unexpected happened... something he had forgotten. Tsuna suddenly stops and shows surprise in his expression, he soon turns in a direction immediately. The Queen of Land of Shadows annihilates another Jiang Shi avoiding this approach to the creator of Fortuna.
"What's wrong?" She asks worried that the Sky Curse would have grown stronger. "Evelyn." Tsuna whispers the name, causing Scáthach to be surprised. He without hearing or thinking of anything else begins to run towards that direction.
"Tsuna!" "Lancer calls, and soon she follows him. The call of the beautiful red-eyed woman catches the attention of Illya who turns her gaze to him and is surprised when she watches him run towards a direction, but what amazes her is to see him fight and kill in a much faster and lethal way. Noir kills the enemies on his way coming to do so with a facility so frightening that deep down she was afraid.
The Ex-Vindice creates an Ice Sword with Blackout with which it facilitates to kill the Kyonshii in addition to continue using his Chain. Had come to feel suddenly the presence of Flame of Night, was very weak to belong to someone in Vindice and soon recalled the words of Scáthach and her confession... he remembered the name of that child who saved him in those Futures when he lost his faith and was destroyed... Evelyn.
Tokyo Tower, Special Observatory; 06:49 hrs.
The attention of the leader of the Chinese Triads soon concentrates on noting to Noir beginning to run followed by his Servant. By the way the Killer Vindice eliminates those who cross his way, provoke his confidence and ego to climb even more when thinking; Even the powerful and dangerous Noir has realized that it is impossible to win and has decided to flee... he will not allow it, Noir will die like the others. Tehy hear a loud noise that draws the attention of the three Chinese and see Helicopters of Assault arrive.
"Hou La, as always she did wonderful work," with this his victory is assured and need not even fight, the six Helicopters he sent by his Secretary will do the work for him.
"It seems that the snow has exhausted everyone more easily. Xian Long, sends the Twelve Treasures." the woman bodyguard bows in a sign of obedience. If he has decided to release the Twelve Treasures, the special Kyonshii in the Wu Dynasty from generation to generation, the only thing they have preserved together to the Seals and Scrolls of Forbidden Arts after left the Magecraft World.
Is as a precautionary measure, these Zombies are different from the common Jiang Shi, retain the Skills they had in life and a great destructive power... even with the Cold Weather, the Twelve Treasures could easily deal with the group of Masters and Servants that were already tired and cold. Even if things look great for her Boss, she doesn't have a bad feeling about this.
Shibakouen, Minato-ku, Tokyo: 06:51 hrs.
Both killer and Queen stop at a loud rumble, something heavy and big falls near where they were. From the smoke created by the rubble comes a burly figure in tattered Chinese garb. "Where did this monster come from?" She asks when she sees the giant Jiang Shi. The Zombie was even bigger than Berserker of Red.
"Zombies are something prohibited in any World to be a Plague irrepressible and impossible to control except by the Jiang Shi. The Magecraft of the Chinese Magus captures part of the Essence of the Soul in Paper Seals and are possible to Control, even so its use is prohibited," indicates Tsuna alert to the new threat.
"There are various Types of Jiang Shi and the one in front of us is a version that retains the capabilities that he had in life." Noir communicates attentively. "In short an improved corpse." Lancer concludes on alert. Tsuna finds himself impatient, had to get to Evelyn as soon as possible and cannot waste time with this damn nuisance.
Choppers are threatening and with intentions to shoot at any moment, Evelyn is in danger and the others are taking too long. "Take off, I'll give you time to save her," said the purple-haired woman.
"No, it's safe Heng Wu ordered that thing to kill me so no matter what you do, it will not stop, use Fire is something we must avoid and Helicopters will be a nuisance. Our best option is to go together to Evelyn and save her before Flame of Night ends her life... besides I could never leave you behind," Queen of Land of Shadows agrees to see the reasoning of her Master.
The truth is that the girl is the priority and Tsuna will not be able to deal with everything. Although she smiles with a slight blush at what he said of not wanting to leave her behind. The movement behind them and the Air Vehicles approaching more and more are indicative that they have to act now.
They did not wait to start running, being followed by the colossal creature. They enter a building and once inside the corpulent Zombie crosses walls without reducing its speed but when leaving has lost the track of its target. With ease Tsuna and Scáthach glide out of one of the windows and begin to move using the buildings as cover not to be noticed by the gross corpse or its controller.
They hear a Chopper pass by and are forced to enter a small alleyway so as not to be seen "how much time left?" the Ex-Vindice asks "Sorry, we still need time to finish" Caster of Black is worried, she herself wanted to rush things, but this sort of thing takes time even if she don't want it that way. Listen close to where the Kyonshii is to destroy buildings like a bull. But while Luna and the others do not finish with the preparations, they will have to engineer them "I will guide you", Noir and Lancer listen to Assassin of Black by Telepathy.
Higashiazabu, Tokyo; 06:58 hrs.
They remain hidden behind the wall while the barrage of Machine Gun Bullets pass to destroy the concrete. The Snow has happened to affect them in a bad way. Neither Rin nor Lancer of Red actually blamed Noir for this. They admitted it was a smart tactic to use the cold to slow down the movement of the Jiang Shi to make things easier, but it had been unexpected to appear these Jiang Shi that were much more powerful than those seen so far and also the Choppers. Berserker of Red was now facing four of them while two of the Helipcopters focused their shots on him. This is used by Lancer of Red.
"Gáe Bolg!" the Curse Spear is fired at one of those nasty flying machines and it explodes in mid-air. Berserker of Black releases more Prana by attracting more enemies and striking them with a Light Pole. Three of those Special Jiang Shi start attacking Lancelot being difficult for the crazed hero to hit a hit. Something sudden happens when they suddenly become paralyzed and this is taken advantage of by the black knight to destroy them with a single blow.
Sakura was leaning close to her sister, but from there she looked away and saw her friend from the Mafia arrive next to her group. "Tsukina-chan!" Matou says, pleased to see her. Donna Vongola smiles happily.
"Nufufu, you don't have to thanks me." Daemon/Enma taunts with sarcasm while she be covers with the others. Rin is contain to respond to the mockery having more important matters to deal with.
"I admit it but now our best chance to get out of this is working together," says with some bitterness Cú Chulainn, it is not something that pleases him, but it is something that has to do for the well-being of his Master.
"I think it would be best to move in a group together and reach Tokyo Tower. It is a guarantee that everyone will try to get there and once we arrive we can establish a Truce until Heng Wu is eliminated." determines Reborn winning the agreement of the majority. Ruler wanted to make her way to Noir, but the Hitman is right, Noir will come to her, God is on her side after all and will not allow him to die.
Shibakouen, Minato-ku, Tokyo: 07:04 hrs.
Illya being accompanied by Saber of Black and Caren Hortensia, opens fire against more enemies in the passage. To think that the situation would be so desperate as to go to help Noir. She never thought that the time would come when she would search for her main enemy with the idea of helping each other. She is sure that Noir is not running away, it was something different.
She herself is certain of it. Berserker was at a distance away fighting the Special Kyonshii and in some ways the powerful presence of Berseker served as a distractor to the point that the Kyonshii cannot ignore it... they are still Zombies that feed on Prana and will not be contained in go for it. The idea of working with Noir was not pleasant, but Vincent is more important than the personal quarrels between them.
The sky a little while ago it was dark, now was quite clear in spite of being cloudy and Snowing, something good or else it would be difficult to distinguish the environment and its details. Illya feels cold as she runs, goes on to remember her childhood, when she was playing with her father when she was looking for Walnuts. Caren remembered the times when she woke up looking for her parents.
Each one left her side and today continues to sadden her, in Christmas Eve wishing and asking God to let her parents see again, but always waking up with broken illusion and her grandfather with a sad and benevolent smile to console her... Caren wanted to see him again and tell him everything she could not... thank him for taking care of her. For some reason the Snow brought them nostalgia.
The loud noise of something crashing and destroying walls was heard making the three stop in their race and direct the view to the direction from where the shock came. From there they see in the air to Noir and Lancer of Black with a colossal Zombie behind them... it sees the assassin take the hand of his Servant and in the middle of the air disappear escaping to be caught by the Special Jiang Shi.
...
Appear in less than a flicker on the ground a few meters from where the Jiang Shi falls. Veniality was an awesome Ability, however because of the low energy, could not take them further, at least he avoided being trapped and managed to stabilize Flame of Night in Evelyn who now lay wrapped in the dirty and worn blanket on which was covered when they found her.
The girl's father died, had a few hours of it out of hunger and the cold stopped the rot.. Although weak, the baby would be fine once she is carried with Shamal. Tsuna looks at her with a weak smile, she was so small and delicate, her short black hair and green eyes watching him weakly. The noise of the creature makes him return to reality. With one arm holding small Evelyn and his other hand still holds Lancer.
The gigantic creature runs towards them and in reflex Tsuna releases Lancer of Black. Both to see the huge fist come, evade, she jumps to the side while Noir barely moves and limiting to just dodge the fist. Forms a Stake with the power of Blackout and with the same pierce the left leg. The Kyonshii moves its arm to one side trying to hit him, but the killer flexes his knees forming a further Stake and this time pierce the right arm. The Zombie tries to kill him, but fails and instead is traversed by more Improvised Weapons formed by Blackout that limit and seal its mobility... everything does without letting go of the girl and guiding by Killer Instinct to protect her looking to keep the heat in her now that Flame of Night was Sealed.
The colossal enemy tries to move and break the Stakes to continue, but a cold look from the killer of the Silent Arts towards the creature provokes its body to begin to Petrify and with a stroke of her Spear, the Queen of Land of Shadows pulverizes the Jiang Shi. She approaches her Master who already begins to look tired.
"That was the last of my energies." Noir indicates something tired, "we're almost done, hold on a little longer" both hear Caster of Black say. Scáthach sees to Tsuna that seems to indicate him take to the girl, something that she does something confused. She buries one of her Spears to have a free arm and carry with little Evelyn.
"We could stand it still longer, but this little girl will not. My lack of energy makes it impossible to finish the battle fast enough to get it out of here and withdrawal is not an option... that leaves a single alternative," the Ex-Vindice announces taking out a Pistol, the one containing that Special Bullet.
"Don't tell me what..." the beautiful woman cannot finish saying nothing when he comes talks. "If I fail, take her away from here, Luna will take care of the rest. She does it," she is about to say something "is it final?" Assassin of Black asks in a quiet tone.
"Yes, now it's my only choice," he admits with nostalgia "very well, no matter what happens, we will be together either in this World or our False Paradise" Tsuna smiles at the words of his First Servant.
Scáthach wants to stop him, to tell him that she will protect him and will do everything in her Power to save Evelyn. "Scáthach, trust me," he says, and she is surprised to see the resolution in his orange eyes.
"I don't intend to die full of regrets knowing everything I would leave behind... I will not abandon you" Tsuna's words bring a deep warmth in her. Yet she doesn't want to risk it, but she knows him very well and she knows that nothing can stop him from continuing as well as his foolishness to live for the sake of those he loves, something that never changes in him.
"I will not move from here until you return. But while you do, I keep her warm so she does not get sick." he is surprised before smiling and placing his Gun pointing at his temple.
"It's not too late to retract," she suggests, even if she believes in him. Lancer doesn't want to force him to do something that could kill him... a last attempt to make him give up. He does not contain a smile as he closes his eyes.
"I will not think ill of you if you do," Lancer says to her Master. "From the beginning I have been close to death..." the grip on his Pistol becomes greater.
"I only have a prayer to offer for you and those who have helped me... a prayer in my last moments..." says Tsuna who does not see Einzbern, Hortensia and Saber of Black stop their career to see what he is about to do.
"My heart is divided and you have a part of my heart and my soul, but besides that I offer you my last moments... my last thoughts to whom I love and between them you are," the last thing that says opening his eyes showing a resolution makes Scáthach shudder.
"I remember you said you've never had remorse or regret, do you think you've changed enough to have something that a weapon lacks?" a sad smile accompanies the words of the beautiful Queen of Land of Shadows.
"Let's get it, ready?" The final question in the twilight of his life should be something to ask himself. It is not so because all this time that he has shared with Semiramis, and all the people important to him, has realized that it is true, he is a Weapon, a Tool, but despite this he is still human and someone who can love, hate, cry, laugh, feels and live, who has seen so much in such a short time, was born in the dark but knows the light and in that moment when he is pressing his finger on the Trigger, he knows who he is. Ignore the whole World at that precise moment... all Tsuna can think of when Criticism Shot is shot at his head, is who he leave behind.
Tsuna's POV.
My birth, at that time lacked experiences, memories and emotions. I am sure that the first feeling I knew was fear and despair as any creature that senses the arrival of death when it has not even experienced more... curiosity may have driven a desire to live in me. My desire to be born was heard by my mother as well as a prayer that God grants to the most unexpected person but who is considered blessed... to know the sacrifice of my mother made me feel blessed and fortunate. It made me dream of love, be hungry for love and want be accepted by my twin sister, my only family in the World... now a broken dream showed me my own naivety by dreaming of crystal castles in the sky where all the problems and past sufferings would be so far away.
The second time I was close to dying, I was covered by the blood of a sweet young woman whose future she sacrificed to save me. I had always seen this memory alive and at such a young age I felt hatred. A part of me loved that girl who sacrificed herself for me, she who took care of me... snatching her from me made me feel the hatred and desperation that by instinct every living thing possesses to intuit their life was doomed to death... maybe that out the first and last time the Hyper Intuition Vongola manifested in me saying I would die and nothing would save me... hate that feeling.
Hate the Intuition when it said I could do nothing to avoid it and even if they were not even a fixed memory in my being, they both marked my existence when they died so that I would live. I might as a baby know, but the despair and hatred of that time made me be wrapped up in the dark night... the Night in exchange for cutting my bond with Vongola, gave me the power to kill and sentence those who took everything from me... power to save myself and be found to be turned into a Weapon by those who would become my family coming to determine my way of living and what would take me to meet her... the woman who would make me feel alive.
Despite all the hardships, of my loneliness, having been born and lived in the horrible Mafia World, I never hated my fate or cursed my life. I had taken the lives of others to live even if it was not my intention. I retraced the road of revenge, I suffered to become strong. Lives was sacrificed so that I could have Magic Circuits when I have originally twenty-seven of it and I have never forgotten any of those who died for my existence and I have never repented... at least until I met her, a Depraved Queen whose presence resembles Decadence. I have come a long way down on thorns, blood and darkness, so many things I did not know but that others have suffered for my sake.
It is strange, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of everyone in this War, the bad intentions of Heng Wu, the blind loyalty of his bodyguard, the torrent of doubts and emotions in the three heiresses of the Founding Families of this War, their remorse, doubts, fears and desires. I could feel the pain in Tsukina, understand that she had really cared for me at the end but seeing me as the hero I've never been and never will be.
I could hear different thoughts of many towards me. All of this paled in comparison with those others who in one way or another have formed links with me. I could see Shamal glued to the window in the Hospital, feel his concern "you better got it, Tsuna," I hear him say dropping the cigar half-used. I see Caster who is with Luna showing their fear and anger at themselves for not having achieved it in time... but there was faith... they had faith in me. I could feel the love and faith that my Hitwoman embodied to my "spread your wings, Tsuna."
Caster's feelings for Hakuno Kishinami and her faith in me to stop this War "do it, for Hakuno, please." her plea and the gratitude she has for me for helping them. I can see Luviagelita Edelfelt looking at my address in a certain way, "Byakuran-san believes in you. Therefore I will believe in you." I hear her thoughts and emotions. I can hear that albino insane with a confident smile with some remorse but in peace "you can, Tsu-chan" he says on the Roof of the Hospital building... I can see Vincent sleeping as he was taken care of by Fiore reminding me of that moment we had before that I would go to this battle.
Flashback:
The University Tokyo Hospital, Room 34; 05:10 hrs.
The light of the room indicates who resides inside it is still awake. Not for nothing, Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia listened attentively to what the child Homunculus tells her. To think that I, the dangerous Craftsman would be able to recover him with some ease, have to Fiore impressive her. She had no problem staying awake after falling asleep hours ago shortly after talking with me... it was still strange she to call me by my real name.
She listened to what happened to Ruler, the explication the absence of Saber of Red, why Caster of Black and her Master arrived here, as well as some information that she didn't know and was relieved because the little one was not annoyed with her despite of what she did and maybe it was because it was Illya who lied and she avoided even saying something because she didn't want to lie to the child. I out from the Room listen them.
"I was afraid, but I felt Onee-chan's presence as I looked for her," says the little albino. "Onee-chan?" she hesitated, he referring to Einzbern. "Yes, she's Tsuna-niichan's girlfriend. She is always with him," I'm blush by hear it. I see Yggdmillennia by her expession she understands who it refers to. Vincent goes on to smile sadly.
"I know I'm going to die," she is silent and astonished to hear that. "I'm happy to have met Tsuna-niichan and I know she's a Servant. I always thought he was just like me, but when I saw them together, I could see how happy he is at her side... how happy they are to be together." he says looking at his hands.
"I always asked me what it was to have a family, what it feels like to be human. At his side I felt everything I asked myself was answered before. They are both like my parents, I feel fortunate to have been able to meet them and feel all this when I am a Homunculus," the little one barely contains his tears.
"I don't want Tsuna-niichan to be sad. I will die when the energy of the Great Grail that I carry inside me is too much for me to support. This Great Grail I carry inside must be for him, I want him to win." he says firmly raising his gaze.
"If he gets the Great Grail, Onee-chan will be able to stay by his side and they can both be together... at least I can make them happy," Vincent says with a broken smile.
"You're wrong, Vincent." Fiore says firmly to the red-eyed child. "For the short time I have to meet him, I know he loves you," the child is surprised by what he hears.
"Your life is valuable and I'm sure Tsuna will be sad if you die... I know because this feel is like anybody feels to have at the thought of losing their little brother." Fiore indicates caressing the small face that begins to cry.
Vincent hugs her and begins to cry. "I'm afraid... I want to stay with Nii-chan, I want everything to be as before... I don't wanna die!" He cries in a voice choked by tears, his face buried in her chest who embraces him tightly, allowing cry, forgetting all for a moment, except for the sadness she felt at the cruelness of this War.
I can only keep outside unable to face it because I know that I cannot promise to save him when I don't know if I will live beyond the War... I don't have the courage to face him because I know that in the memories of Scáthach I have always failed in save him. I remain outside the room allowing me to cry. I could not lie to him and if I enter I will end by breaking the illusion we still have and we cling... a lie that should last as long as possible.
...
It had only been a few minutes, but Vincent fell fast asleep very soon. It was evidence of the burden he carries, even if only three Servants have died, is already affecting my protege.
"Now you can enter," I hear her say and without waiting I enter the room feeling ashamed, vulnerable and sad to realize Fiore knew of my presence and I am sure I am in such a pathetic clean the tears trying do it with dissimulation.
"There's no shame in crying when something hurts," she tells me with a warm, friendly smile. I can see to her it was sad because in Fiore's eyes I'm no longer just a killer, she sees I'm also a teenager like any other to some extent, but the way I force myself to hide my feelings for my way of life... was too sad that it hurts her.
I was grateful to her, I never imagined she would think that of me, she made me feel happy and understand because in the visions of Scáthach I fell in love with her. makes me feel happy that a girl like Fiore can get to love someone like me. I am sure that if Semiramis or Scáthach know what I think of myself, they would reprimand me for being pessimistic.
I meditate for a moment when I see Vincent sleeping, this child does not deserve to die. There must be something I can do to save him. three Servants have died so far. according to the calculations, Irisviel Von Einzbern died when only quedaton two Servants, that means that Vincent would die when there are four Servants. So my best option is to reduce casualties to five survive Servants.
I have three Servants on my side, Luna has Astolfo and Edelfelt to Caster... that's when I remember Ruler, she is under the control of Daemon Spade... the best option was to let her live, the difficult thing was to way to achieve this. Watching Vincent remember the actions of my self who became the Public Enemy of the World. A Ritual to extract the Grail required time that I do not have.
To think of the time I am surprised to arrive at a solution. is risky and will only work if I wake up Fortuna or recover high amounts of Energy. There is still a way to save Vincent and for that I only have to readjust the details of the Plan with the others. I see Fiore smile and it is certain she has discovered I have devised something to save Vincent, so I happened to smile in response.
"Fiore-san, please take care of him," she nods at my request with a sympathetic smile. "Only Fiore is fine. I'll take care of him, but try to come back or he'll be sad," I give her a soft smile... the way she expresses herself is as if she was sure that I will succeed, such confidence gives me strength. I go to the door and go out to go with the others and trace the changes in our Plan... I will resort to using Criticism Shot if necessary, but I will definitely save Vincent.
End of flashback.
Scáthach, I can see her feelings, her guilt, her sadness... I can see and feel everything about her caused by the three futures she has seen. Not only that, I see myself in the Void of fate that Byakuran told me about which Uni sought to save me through that False Paradise... I am in the Nothingness. The incredible thing was to see my three versions of the future smiling at the same time they extend their hand... as soon as they touch my hand I can see their Memories, their feelings, their pain and their regret... blink and discover we are in a different place... to appear here it feels like an ephemeral dream that I usually have awake.
I blink, discovering myself in a complex place, the noises of a river, wind, flowers, trees, grass, broken chains, old constructions that remind me of the stories I read as a child combined with the ruins of a prison that reminded me of that place that was my home and seemed all together in the far away, it wanted to be a city... it's not difficult for me to know all this was created based on everything I have lived and somehow relates to me. I look up and on the horizon I see stained glass windows in the black and blue sky looking like an attempt of the day and the night to live together. The face of a Clock with several hands turning in both directions and some hands stopped... all this is the reflection of a Broken World.
I hear the machine work without stopping just like the World itself does... it was the perfect combination of desolate ruins emulating cemetery, history, death, life, rebirth, tragedy and beauty... something that at some point was The Promised Land called Paradise... I was in False Paradise where I would be trapped after my death. I look down and see my other self who smile at me. I smile knowing that my stay here is temporary and that is due to something so simple that years ago I did not think to have... remorse, I feel regrets for the very idea of leaving what I love back and my life ends without been able to enjoy living with those I love.
I hear her smile at the same time her voice resonates in the depths of my life calling me "come back to me"... I can see her heart, her feelings... I finally come to understand this time I want to be selfish and not lose her... because I want to be free and if this is my condemnation, I want to live all that I can with her in the World in which we were born because even if we were born, living and dying in a Different Age, fate brought us together to live under the same sky as a same time, same life.
"This World is my sentence," I say, rebelling against my own death. I discover soon the three versions of mine of the Different Futures are gone. I form a Piece of Ice in my hand and with that object cut the palm of my hand... I begins to shed blood on this Paradise. I can feel two powerful presences seeking to reach this place and my soul to condemn me to be a sacrifice. being sacrificed does not bother me, but if they want to sacrifice those whom I love, it's different... I will not allow it and it is for the same reason that I do this madness.
"This False Paradise is my Prisonat death. This World, this Dimension..." I raise my bleeding hand. towards the sky and active one of the Command Spell delivered by Hakuno recently. In turn, I take from the interior of my clothes with my other hand the Sky Pacifier that shines when manifested its power.
"l will deform as I did with my nature and I will become a Reality Marble... my World: Imperia Panorama - Clockwork Prison!" I came to express even knowing nobody listens to me but willing to exceed my limits for her and whom I love.
I can feel the presence of Gaia and Alaya imposing more force than before when trying to reach me to avoid it. The answer so that they could never reach my Soul or my Arcobalenos was to turn False Paradise into a Reality Marble using my power as Sky Arcobaleno. With this I will form an Unlimited Chain, the Flames of Night that I use to feed the Elements of the Jars, now these Elements are using them to create Imperia Panorama forming a connection between the Jars and this place through the Eighth Element by use the Clear Pacifier.
The Arcobaleno is what marks the existence in this World so my existence will protect Imperia Panorama that is connected to Tri-Ni-Sette and at the same time Tri-Ni-Sette and Imperia Panorama will protect my existence forming an Unlimited Cycle... nothing can destroy or reach this place, my or my Arcobalenos, even if the World is destroyed or alter, Imperia will be safe and we will not be sacrifice of anybody else... we will have a place to go and not return to be separated after death.
"I'm not going to die... they wait for me and I'm not going to stay here... it's not time yet!" I came to challenge for the first time Gaia and Alaya who try to stop me now that I've learned to be selfish and it's thanks to Semiramis. I don't want the suffering of Scáthach to be in vain... I don't want to see her full of sadness never again.
"I have no regrets for the life I have had, but I regret leaving Semiramis alone, failing Scáthach and leaving behind those I met and whom I will know, not to take care of Evelyn and not save Vincent... I still have a lot to do and I refuse to die repentant." my words are full of my resolve, that's when it happens... one of the Hands of the Clock in the sky moves backward marking a space backwards.
The Clear Pacifier shines when I looking for to awaken Fortuna Rebirth at the same time finish to create Imperia Panorama... a Thin Hand of the Clock begins to advance being the indicative that I have achieved it.
I feel the two hight presences being rejected and the False Paradise begins to freeze at the same time sprouting vines full of thorns, flowers and red roses and my blood is consumed for this... it was as if this place crystallized and the Elements following my will flourished and capturing the essence of the False Paradise. finally happens, everything breaks like fine glassware.
This World is broken and I feel its existence is linked to mine as it disappears in countless fragments recreating in a distant place that will not be reached in some point of Dark Hole... I smile while I fall in the darkness of the infinite that exists between the multiple Dimensions.
...
The pressure and Dimensional Distortion in this place is weaker than in Dark Hole where the Existential Distortion of the Infinite Universes and Parallel Worlds is concentrated. It is by Origin that I still lived, it have help in this Zone the Distortion is weak. However, even if I have achieved my goal, I don't have enough power to return. Eventually I will be without energy and the Distortion will tear me apart... I smile at the irony because I managed to wake up Fortuna and create Imperia Panorama that would become a Reality Marble and same time a Different Dimension that does not reside inside me but is part of me.
I might as well try to go to one of the Multiple Universes or Parallel Worlds to save myself, but I don't even have the strength to try. Entering a Different World, Origin will avoid the System of it Universe destroy me or affect my existence to finally be accepted, but I cannot waste time since I must return to my World.
I only can wait to die and go to Imperia being prisoner... if only I learned to get energy from the Distortions Dimensional would have a chance, but something like that would take me too long, maybe centuries to learn even if I am in Imperia and by then the War will have finished before I can return. I still admit to seeing Dimensional Disorder and Chaos that is something unique and beautiful. The rubble that has somehow fallen to this area... remains of architecture, machines, vehicles... an infinity number of things from Different Worlds and Ages that somehow got here.
I see the back of my hand, the Command Seals, unfortunately I need not only Prana to return, I also need Deathperation Flames to return... it's not enough and I do not know the Time difference between this Space and my World. Even if I can return, I must do it at the precise moment Criticism Shot takes effect.
Soon to my amazement I see something that should be impossible... in front of me appearing like a ghost was my Uncertain Future self descending towards me. It was not one of the Three Futures me that Scáthach saw, but that Futurewhere I fulfilled my goal of taking revenge for Bermuda and those who were my family: Vindice... he who died alone and without knowing love... he who his self died with his dreams intact thinking his sister would change the World... died without knowing the pain of rejection of his only family.
He was taller than me, he seemed to be around twenty-three, but he had a slight trace of beard, his hair was a little longer and careless... I remember now... I had been wrong. Yeah, I came to feel regret before meeting the woman with whom I changed... while I died because of the Dark Hole Effect, I felt satisfaction because I was able to fulfill my goal of revenge, but I had wanted to be free to love and be loved... in that Future I had ruled out my humanity and with that part who I was.
Now that someone smiles staying close to me as we both seem to float between Different Dimensions... something that no being of the World has come to see in all its existence for as long as it is. My Alternate Version of the Uncertain Future extends his hand.
"You and I are the same person, it can be said that I am the last breath left of our Uncertain Future... a Future that will never exist again. With this last breath we return... they are waiting for us." I smile knowing is right, there is no way that I surrender having come so far. I had known that no one could save me or reach me to this place, but although I depend on others to live, it is good to also depend on myself... it makes me feel less useless. I take his hand without thinking, knowing it's time to go back to where they wait for me.
Normal POV.
It was as if everything entered in slow motion for all those who witnessed the firing, but to the surprise of many a Command Spell of the hand that holds the Gun, glows activating. It happens the impossible for many to see him move his right leg back as support not to fall. Suddenly black fire seems to spring from him and it looks as if his Coat gave off black flames that is easily confused with Black Feathers... Finale Blackwaltz - Hyper Dying Will Mode.
"Tsuna." Scáthach names surprised and relieved to see her Master has succeeded. He turns his head to observe her and she immediately notices his eyes have become a darker orange seeming to have a slight reddish tint. Tsuna smiles at the sight.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Lancer." Noir apologizes with a shy smile and the dark fire fades and his eyes take on their usual orange. The Walking Corpses approach in a threatening manner. It seems that he has recovered some energy thanks to the remnants of his future self, at least enough to do something.
Watch carefully and various enemies begin to freeze when using the snow created by Frost Canvas that there is in the zone and of there forming a Wall to him around. He can feel the reach of his Personal Magecraft has improved drastically, but also Tsuna recognizes is unable to know exactly the control he has over Fortuna as well as the energy wastage for its Abilities. At least with this he can gain some time.
Some Jiang Shi arrive to the Ice Wall beginning to hit it trying to destroy it to reach the trio that shelters behind the Cold Protection. They can hear the sound of the Propellers of one of the Choppers that fires at the Wall and only causing slight scratches.
"Tsuna, it's better if I use my Fire Runes so that with Blackout you regain some power," she suggests, knowing they were cornered. Well they could continue fighting, but it would be impossible if they had to take care of Evelyn at the same time. That is why Lancer of Black considered they would have better chances if Tsuna uses Blackout to replenish forces.
"Don't do it. It is better you not to waste energy when we have not even reached the most difficult part," Noir reminds to the beautiful woman while taking Discord and points up watching the Chopper was looking for approach to shoot overlooking the Wall using his aerial advantage. What the enemy did not count on was with the easy prediction of the killer who by the time they entered his range, he fired at the location of the Fuel Tank and exploded from the air.
"If I formed this Wall, it was to give them more time. we can only hope... we hope not by much." she smiles feeling inwardly relieved because Tsuna returned. The thought of losing him had terrified her, she found her feelings surprising had evolved so much and so quickly in such a short time.
The Godslayer had never imagined he would love so deeply to the point of almost getting to the obsession and like so much the presence of Tsuna taking her to feel uncomfortable without him close to her person. The idea of losing him made her realize some things and between it hurt the idea of losing him, not to see him again... it's not late yet, he still lives just like her, so she has already made a decision. Although for now they only could wait the others to complete their part of the Plan.
Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo 07:24 hrs.
It moves in the air with great ease seeing a Chopper in the distance. Rider leads Hippogriff as his Master sets her sights on the Battlefield. They just finished and prepare the things in the Nishikubohachiman Shrine for the Barrier. Assassin had tired of waiting and she herself decided to continue with the rest of the preparations, but also sent them to help Tsuna.
Luna was still dismayed and confused. She could feel the presence of Tsuna leaving and returning, but in the brief time that all that happened, she acquired memories that she did not have before. They were many things from the Future, but many differed from each other... the best conclusion was that being the Storm Arcobaleno of Tsuna, she got the memories of the Three Futures seen by Scáthach and by the way to act of Assassin, it is not difficult conclude she also went through something similar.
"Ready, Rider," the black-haired girl says in disarray. The pink hair Paladin smiles holding Trap of Argilia accelerating the flight of his companion dodging the shots of the Machine Guns at the same time Rosso with a Uzi shoots the Chopper in the front windows giving her Servant the opportunity to approach and finally Astolfo hits the target being in the Fuel Tank.
From there passing flying away it and the Hitwoman shoots the damaged part of the Helicopter provoking exploding. She pays attention to the movement of the Salakief's Crows who have recently stopped with Frost Canvas and only fly over the area. From the heights she can see where Tsuna is, but she also notices Einzbern, Saber of Black near of one of the buildings staying vigilant. Probably already suspect Tsuna plans something, but with her recent action has gained the attention of that small group.
Luna considers this would be a great opportunity to eliminate two Masters, but refrains from trying to kill them because Frost Canvas limits her Deathperation Flames. Also because even at a distance she could see both have been placed on guard. The Hitwoman smiles entertained by the reaction of the small group.
"Rider, we'll have to keep away from Tokyo Tower for now, but for now it's better if we're going to help Tsuna," Carlomagno's warrior nods he was worried because Assassin of Black had told them Tsuna found a baby and they were taking care of her, being that the explanation of why Tsuna y Lancer are on the defensive. Therefore Astolfo was content with the idea of helping and obeyed this last command very willingly.
...
Illyasviel Von Einzbern was alert and suspicious. Berserker had returned inside to save energy and avoid calling the attention of the Jiang Shi. Finding Noir to make a temporary truce had been the only option with all the chaos. When they saw him and what followed after they found everything seemed to get more and more complicated... Noir used a strange power to end the corpulent Kyonshii, from there to notice a baby with black hair in his arms... he delivering the girl to Lancer of Black before firing himself in the head and surviving.
Being Half-Homunculus, Illya could feel the change in him, something that made her shudder. Then he locked himself with the girl and Lancer freezing and creating a Wall around them. None of the three could think much when in a blink they appeared on the other side and with a quick look they found were inside the Protection created of Ice.
"The surprises that life brings us," Scáthach mentions with some good humor watching the trio appear inside the Improvised Refuge. She holds her two Spears on guard in case they try anything while Tsuna holds Evelyn with one arm and with his other hand ends with the Seal on Evelyn that had not been completely completed by the difficulties.
"Noir!" Saber names surprised, watching the unusual scene in front of her. The dangerous killer forged by Vindice, was holding a baby and confirming it was no figment of them. The strange thing was that watching him hold a baby looked like something according and natural to him despite his work.
"What are we doing here?!" Einzbern asked, suspicious and demanding. "Posing you safe, from what I see," he answers with a satisfied smile, the little girl of only a few months, yawns.
Can hear the constant pounding against the ice being chilling in addition to the cold and being trapped with a killer. "To this step will be impossible to reach the others to eliminate Heng Wu." comments Saber with pessimism. it was not ungrateful, but if they did not die in the battle, they would do it by the cold.
"I would not worry so much about it," the white-haired boy dismisses the matter. In reality this situation use to recover some breath... it is not easy to overcome or recover after an experience like the one he just had. "What do you mean?" The priestess inquires curiously.
"Despite the situation, killing Heng Wu is something I find easy to do," Noir expoine as if nothing paying attention only to Evelyn. He don't notice the expression of astonishment of them three. "If it's true, why did not you kill him?" Illya asks, barely holding up the fury she carries.
"Certain complications. The Ability that I just used to bring you here, I can use it to get to the exact spot where he is, but I need a considerable amount of energy and I don't want to risk the life of this little one," he notes she stays awake even though she forces it to herself, it is Instinct of Survival before the danger that implies to sleep in the cold. His words were enough to reassure Einzbern a little.
"Then you should not have locked up here with her. You should have retired and taken her away." he smiles when he hears the words of Kiritsugu's daughter.
"Her situation is quite delicate to the point that I need to use my power to help her and I need to concentrate. Fighting while I run with her in my arms does not allow me to do it." Tsuna better knows that he should take her with Shamal instantly, but it will be impossible without recover energy, only then he could send her with Rosemary using Veniality.
If he went on foot, he ran the risk that she might die on the road, and it's already difficult for him to use Evelyn's own power to keep her stable with Endlessly. At least before using Veniality to bring Einzbern and company here, Assassin told him she had sent a Dove with the Message to Shamal to be prepared to receive her... he was really grateful to his Servant for taking action to act so soon all this ready.
Higashiazabu, Minato-Ku, Tokyo 07:36 hrs.
The situation had become much more difficult than she would have calculated. All in all she was annoyed with herself because Tsuna was forced to use Criticism Shot, she had felt impotent because even if she trusted him, something could always happen and her Master was so complicated that the result could have been another. She had been afraid, even if she knew they would be together, she really wanted to enjoy a new life with him.
Semiramis is not sure what happened, but before he woke up, she could feel clearly he was in a very distant place and it was as much by their Contract as their Bond as Arcobalenos that she felt it, but also saw images, events... much information in a matter of a few seconds... had seen her own death. She saw herself die, leaving her dear Master destroyed and the long time she was waiting for him.
She saw when she was killed by Lancer of Red and Illyasviel Von Einzbern and feel the angst of herself and her Master when she knew she would not see him again, dedicate her last words to him by means of Telepathy reaching the False Paradise where she waited for him longer than in the First Future. The memories of the Third Future were of the life she had begun to yearn as soon as she accepted what she felt for Tsuna... a life with her beloved Tsuna. The family that would form, so many things that she found were not a mere illusion that would never be realized... those memories showed her true wish was something obtainable.
Having these Memories she understood many things, to which Lancer of Black had referred. Now with these memories she felt her feelings for him had intensified and she wanted a life with him in this World, wanted to experience what this opportunity offered to her, when the time comes they will be together in False Paradise... their Paradise.
Also with all this she understood the importance of Evelyn in the life of Tsuna. Something that would not change would be that Evelyn is destined to be the Fourth Familar of Tsuna because of her Illness and being that method the only way to save her... something inevitable that would happen many years later.
Knowing the critic of the situation, Assassin sent a Message to the perverted doctor so that it prepares to receive the girl as soon as Tsuna uses Blackout. She is sure her Master and Luna Rosso have also acquired their own memories, so there was a talk. A talk which can wait for, for now they had to end this.
The Queen of Assyria ends her part with a look of concentration and knowing that she has completed her work satisfactorily, she smiles. But it does not take long to hear the voice of the Third Servant of Noir "I'm done" announces Caster of Black, "the same for me" Assassin of Black says and she can feel the relief in him and Lancer for the news.
Especially since she can be perceived through their Link barely Tsuna contains himself in killing Einzbern because of the events of the Second Future and it has become timely to end soon before Tsuna is carried away by his impulses "alright, begins" both Servants listen from their respective place and proceed to activate the Barrier.
"Let hell begin!" Semiramis declares with a sinister smile. Soon her wish would again become a reality and unlike before, Vincent would live and then everything would be where it should be.
Near to Starrise Tower, Minato-ku; 07:41 hrs.
Making way for the finish line has been complicated and difficult. Especially because the more they had started to approach, the more Jiang Shi were concentrating obstructing the passage. Something else that complicated the way were the Specials Jiang Shi of which Archer of Red and Donna Vongola were the main managers to deal with them, as well as Enma/Daemon in spite of the difficulties involved by the Snow created from the derivation of Zero Point Breakthrough.
Cú Chulainn decided not to use his Fire Runes on the possibility that Noir could use his Strange Ability to extinguish the fire. Among everything because not only they must reach Tokyo Tower, but also climb the various levels where they sure hoped for several surprises.
Daemon was annoying, but for this annoying Snow, long ago he could have used a Gravity Sphere to have disposed of the Slaves Corpses and even used Mist Flames to manipulate Heng Wu and end this War more easily. Ruler had a good performance, but he preferred to keep her in better condition as possible. Rin was mainly concerned about Sakura, not only because this Snow seemed to weaken her, but also the cold there.
The adrenaline helped, but it wouldn't last and they needed to get into the Tower as soon as possible or the Jiang Shi would be the least of their worries. Reborn was trying to find the reasons why Noir used this tactic. For World number one Hitman it was easy to know this was not only to slow down the mobility of the Jiang Shi and by what he has been able to know about him and his Skills. It's clear Noir plans something, but he cannot figure out what it is.
Was when suddenly the course of the battle seemed to change and could not be said for the better. Suddenly fire surfaced everywhere forming huge Walls around the entire Battle Zone. All could see this covered too much territory from which they could not determine its extension.
"The Leylines!" The French Servant exclaims, clearly sensing the energy of the Leylines were the energy from which this intense fire formed... what Reborn noticed was that Snow did not melt. He curses under his breath that even without the Snow, Tsukina or Giotto could not fly because of the Precautions taken by Heng Wu so that they can't check the limit at which this Fire arrives.
However it is easy to see the Servants can feel the Energy used for the creation of the Walls of Fire is the Prana of the Leylines. Things turn worse when they witness something that should be impossible... the fire corrupts itself turning black and dark like the night itself.
"Flames of Night?" Tsukina says in disbelief as she sees the Eighth Element manifest as they are all surrounded by the black fire born of hatred and despair. However no one knew that was the least, Tsuna Von Veckenschtein has finally finished Fortuna Rebirth, the Magecraft that would be known and considered time after by many as the Sixth True Magic impossible to reach for all but the leader of Vindice.
The Black Hell manifesting all around the place brings an effect of fear in the majority. "Noir owns Flame of Night," Reborn says, finally understanding something he had ignored or had not thought possible. It's impossible for Vindice to be responsible for this, but now everything begins to make sense, Noir awakened the Eighth Element being the reason Vindice saved him and one of the causes by which he managed to defeat Tsukina.
All this opened more doubts, between it, Why Noir did not use Flames of Night before?, of having done it is sure he could have won for a long time. That means that the last Vindice could not and something finally caused him to gain access to his power. Even so it was not a good sign, everything was happening at the most opportune moment for him indicating the difficulties and even the smallest step they have done has been because Noir has wanted to.
Everything seems to become more sinister when dark figures emerge from the fire and it was alarming because those who appeared were the least expected. "Vindice?!" Asks Rin, worried and alarmed to see the dark figures arrive.
"You're wrong, it's not Vindice," the Hitman enlightens the audience. Tsukina soon found what her tutor referred to. The newcomers were not Vindice although they looked like them. More specifically, she found kinship in them with her brother when he was the killer from Vindice; Noir.
They were identical to him, the same clothes, only the hands and head were covered by Bandages, they held a Black Rifle/Musket with its right arm and on the left they carried Chains... another piece was the Cup Hat, on the ribbon of the base each had a Poker Card. Each of them carried a different Card in its Hat. A few seconds later, the Flames of Night are extinguished and instantly the mysterious presences are thrown into battle, beginning to massacre and destroy the Jiang Shi very easily.
Shibakouen, Minato-ku, Tokyo: 07:43 hrs.
"How do you feel?" Scáthach asks her Master, finding herself curious. The white-haired Crafstman turns to look at her with a smile. "I've recovered most of my power. With this will be more than enough," Noir deduces being more than prepared to continue fighting. Illya clenches her fists understanding all this is his work.
A Warp Hole appears near them and from it comes a young Maid with blue hair and green eyes. "Did you send for me, Tsuna-sama?" She asks, nodding respectfully. Something that Saber of Black notes is the Wooden Box that the girl carries with ease, is big.
"So is. I need to take this girl with Shamal right away. As for the Box, I imagine it's about that," the Gardenia nods with a smile. "Yes. They were very specific with the Message." responds as if nothing Rosemary.
"Well, leave it on the ground and take her with Shamal to be attend. I will take the Message without fail." she nods to the words of her lord and leaves the Box on the ground and from there take the little girl.
"Then I'll retire. Good luck, Tsuna-sama and soon return." with Evelyn in arms, Rosemary uses the Warp Hole and once she crosses it, the Portal disappears.
"What's in the Box?" Caren asks, easily understanding the mysterious killer plotting something. "The head of someone who has just been executed." the answer wasn't what none of them expected.
"A head?" Einzbern asks incredulously. "A reminder of Vindice for those who have broken the Rules... I go to give this to Heng Wu." when he finish those words, the sound of the Ice Wall being struck stops. Craftsman and Queen walk up to the Ice Barrier. Tsuna with a smile raises the index finger and with the tip touches the cold surface and the next second the Wall is easily destroyed.
What makes both Masters shudder is to see the figures resembling the ruthless Jailers. They don't delay in discovering it is not they, all are identical to Noir when still working for Vindice, they were standing with the several Jiang Shi eliminated and scattered by the place.
"What are they?" Asks Souji alertly. "Noir Dolls. They are Automatons, in a way something similar to Ginger Bread, only that I control every one of their actions and I can see, hear and speak through them," he does not think to say it is complicated and difficult, so Mei helps him to handle them even if she is with Semiramis.
Tsuna stops and manifests in his hand form a kind Sword of dark orange fire with reddish touches as the fire it becomes solid. Tsuna watches the cloudy sky towards the piles of Ravens flying over the area "let me be your wings, Tsuna." he hears the voice of Salakief in his head. Decided, activates the Sky Pacifier which happens to shine.
The creator of the Silent Arts spins fast throwing the Sword against the other Wall, breaking it and forming an incandescent and powerful flare in a mixture of the Dying Will Flames; Sky, Night and Earth. The fire actually was created by Fortuna and being mainly the power of Endlessly that Tsuna occupied for the planned thing. The impressive thing was when the many Crows in the sky flew to that Fire created by the Sky Arcobaleno and threw themselves to the Fire as if they sacrificed themselves.
"Salakief, Fourth Form..." he says quietly as the Fire begins to condense, and soon something huge resembles a sharp claw. It is then that Illya by inertia remembers the words of Archer of Black, about the serpent's reference with Noir, not by means where he uses any method to survive, but in how dangerous he can be.
"When a serpent devours another serpent... becomes a Dragon," she murmurs at the same time the fire disperses revealing a Black Dragon of the European Type that seems to have part of his body covered with black and gray feathers. Two pairs of wings seem to be made of feathers and scales being the two upper white wings and the lower black wings. The head emulated a mixture of Dragon and Raven with two red eyes like rubies.
"Devastation." Tsuna finishes naming the final form of Salakief "I'm finally your Wings, Tsuna", he does not contain a smile by the words of his First Familiar. "Thank you, Salakief," the white-haired killer expresses warmth to her. He looks serious as he looks over at Tokyo Tower.
"Cancel Chaos." Noir arrives to name pointing with the hand to the Base of Tokyo Tower to which the Dragon directs his red glance to that point opening her jaws and of these emerge an orange ray with which it destroys and freezes the defenses of Heng Wu in the Tower without any of the Base Defenses being activated or prevented.
Salakief with the jaws traps the Wooden Box without breaking it which attracts the attention of the others. "Go to Tokyo Tower, the Noir Dolls will help." the owner of Silent Arts with a jump climbs the back of his Familiar. Lancer soon imitate it and without waiting more, the Dragon rises the flight.
Illya was more than impressed, she was worried, it was impossible Noir could create a Dragon. She deduced he had remained on the defensive until the appearance of Black Hell to recover energies and make possible the creation of a Dragon, but it was not only that, but also the Noir Dolls. They watched as the Automatons began to move forward, starting to leave them behind.
"Lets go," says Hortensia, knowing that they could not be distracted, Illya reacts and begins to catch up with the two of them. With all happened, Einzbern determines she was right from the beginning and now it is a complete reality... Noir is the most dangerous Master of this War. Therefore the best option is to meet with the others because she suspects that as soon as Noir eliminates Heng Wu, they are next and will have more opportunities to overcome him working together.
Near to Starrise Tower, Minato-ku; 07:49 hrs.
The impact had been unexpected but above all, powerful. Not only did it pass through the Tokyo Tower Defenses and Barriers with ease, but it also damaged and froze. The Choppers' shots are heard in another direction. When could see it was Rosso and Rider of Red the targets of the shots, but the incredible thing was to see also something that nobody expected to see... a Dragon.
Lancer soon notices those on the Dragon's back. The demigod deduces in said Dragon and the Replicas Vindice is that Noir used the energy obtained by the Hell that was untied recently. This convinced him Noir was not the one who did this, he was too busy and did not think to make the preparations in advance. Otherwise he would have done it long before.
From below they watched as strange White Feathers dislodged from the Upper Wings to soon glow and shoot like Missile trackers against one of the Helicopters destroying it with ease. An unpleasant noise brought them to reality to witness as those copies of Noir Vindice tear apart another of those Special Kyonshii.
"I don't know what Noir did, I just hope this keep it that way so we can get this over with," argues Rin hopefully because this nightmare is over soon. Tsukina was shocked to see her twin in the air above a Dragon. She wondered about his actions, but soon she remembered her father was inside the Tower. No one could think things over when they saw the Dragon finally flying into the Observatory at great speed.
Tokyo Tower, Special Observatory; 07:51 hrs.
It had been a rumble that shook the whole place the next moment they recovered. Something strong crashes in front to raise dust before the destruction of that point and immediately Heng Wu sees to his surprise to Noir who descends of a Dark Dragon next to his Second Servant. During the distraction he does not notice the look of the killer in a specific part of the room.
"This is all your fault," the leader of the Chinese Triads accuses his new opponent. "Killing you is something I could have done from the beginning. Don't believe yourself the big deal. I had not imagined you dare cross the line with the use of Jiang Shi, that's all." Noir admits his mistake in misjudging the Wu thinking he would have enough humanity not to sacrifice so many lives.
"It is the right of the strong to direct the weak and do with them what the strong want, that is the Law of life," the Boss Chinese arrogantly defends, showing that he is not worried when he is about to fight.
"You've proved yourself even worse than I am. Everything that has happened this day, to attract everyone to this place has been your intention... you want to kill us all to end this War and to be victorious," Heng Wu indicates with a pedantic smile before extending the arms to the sides.
"All the other participants are weak and tired, I still have an immense amount of Jiang Shi hidden inside the buildings and I only have to use them to surround them all and win. In a few moments you and all will be dead and I will have won. I will take the Grail to my Empire where I will use its power to..." is when Tsuna closes his eyes.
"It's a pity you don't have a place to return to," he says as if he were talking about the weather, leaving Heng Wu confused. "A few hours ago the Chinese Triads have been completely destroyed and each member executed." Tsuna's words provoke disbelief in Heng Wu and his two close associates.
"You're lying!" He does not avoid saying it out loud, it being impossible to do so in such a short time without his finding out.
"Vindice was born of hatred and revenge. They are simply reminding everyone of the consequences of defying their power." the Craftsman takes a step forward and Salakief throws at the feet of Heng Wu the Wood Box causing this to break. Wu is disbelieving to see the contents of the now Broken Box... it was the head of someone whom Heng Wu instantly recognizes causing him to be amazed.
"Hou La..." Heng Wu whispers recognizing the head of his secretariat. She left that night before the battle at St. Andrews being an order from him to keep her safe and direct his Empire from afar using Special Talismans to communicate with her and Vindice busy trying to stop a World War.
"I understand your secretary was the only person important to you. Vindice gave me her head to give it to you as the last gift of what remains of your Empire." explains Tsuna with a coldness that shakes the three Chinese. Lancer of Black doesn't get suprised by it, she knew him enough to know he can be cruel when he proposes it.
Even though Tsuna considers this something of bad taste, he had waited to receive the whole body, but in its place it was only the head. It is probably the horrible sense of humor of Ginger Bread or Small Gia. After he discussing this with the responsible, at the moment it is better to continue with this.
"I wonder if you feel the same way I did when you dared to use Bermuda's body as one of your Jiang Shi... whatever, now it's not important. I'll kill you and that does not change." the words of the Ex-Vindice make react to Heng Wu who is furious. "I'm going to put your head in a pike!" He shouts, taking several Seals from his clothes. Tsuna shows a small smile.
"Well, try it if you want to," Tsuna challenges his next victim with some mockery. Salakief knows beforehand that there is no way her owner loses. For this reason she decides to help Rider and Rosso with the flies. So that she simply detaches herself from the structure and beggins her flight, further damaging the stay being the signal for the fight to start.
...
An explosion is shown where the new battle between Noir and Heng Wu occurs. A few explosions followed. IIlya hurries along with Caren and Okita coming to glimpse Tohsaka and company. The noise of the explosions attracted the attention of all and from there see Noir falling from the top of the Tokyo Tower being followed by Heng Wu and Xian Long. The incredible thing was to see the ease with which he faced them seeming even entertained by it.
They use the complexity of the same Tower to move fighting in the air avoiding falling. Heng Wu used not only the metallic structure to move, he also occupied Talismans as a support to attack and create makeshift platforms to move while the killer moves using Chains to move himself from side to side.
...
Inside the Observatory, the beautiful Warrior Queen turns to see the Assassin of the Red faction who is leaning on one knee on the floor. The Martial Artist was confused, suddenly he was feeling a serious weakness in his body, exhaustion, weakness, nausea, fever.
"Ara. I suppose you're not indicated for the Assassin Class, after all." a female voice is heard and it is then that the Noir's First Servant materializes carrying Mei with one arm while the other was the stinger from which drops of a green liquid fall.
"You have poisoned me." The depraved Queen laughs slightly. "I just didn't want to waste my time or waste my Energies in a fight I will win," she extends her hand to Shuwen getting to contain Prana at the same time she is showing haughty and with a contemptuous look.
"Out of my sight!" To her surprise, her ally's Red Spear cuts off Assassin of Red's head. Semiramis soon turns annoyed at the purple-haired woman.
"You took too much," Scáthach mocks, enjoying seeing Assassin of Black angry who has stolen her victory. The depraved beauty is to say somewhat biting, but she stops when feeling her Master to fight.
"I'll take care of you later," she decides, starting to go to the destroyed side by where he entered. During the arrival of Tsuna to this place, he used Veniality to bring her and took advantage of the distraction so that no one noticed. Caster is currently fighting in the company of Rosso and Rider of Red, everything as planned... everything seemed to go according to the Plan.
"Which means that you accuse me with Tsuna," Assassin of Black blushes embarrassed and furious, turning indignant to another side. Lancer does not take long to stand to one side of Assassin without looking at the lifeless body of Li Shuwen begins to disappear.
"Once Tsuna kills Heng Wu, it will be Checkmate." the Queen of Assyria expresses without anger, finding herself suddenly enthusiastic when she feels the triumph and her wish more and more close to being fulfilled.
"Assassin, there's something I'd like to ask you, please." The yellow eyes go on to watch her allied Servant with interest. Since the time they have met, they have had to go through many things and both have come to the point of forming a strange friendship being Tsuna the cause of it because he is important to both and find no problem in cooperating with each other... all for Tsuna's sake.
"What is it?" Semiramis inquires curiously, already imagining what it is about. So she will not have problems accessing the request of Lancer of Black.
...
A Dragon Flare hits a Chopper being the last one in the air since the others have been destroyed by Rider of Red, Luna and the Tsukina group. At this moment all that is left to the Chinese Boss is Xian Long and his own life.
A kick hits the torso of Xian Long who crashes against one of the beams that make up the structure and from there begin to fall. Tsuna uses the kick to push himself avoiding a Rain of Seals that attack like Rain of Knives and it seems he can't escape. Heng Wu smiles to know himself victor, but to his disbelief, with a terrifying ease Noir evades and attacks with his Chain.
The Chinese Boss dodges it, but did not pay attention to the Chain catching a beam. Heng Wu is surprised when he feels his Contract with Assassin of Red is cut off and his Command Spells disappear. The distraction is very expensive for the Chinese Boss who doesn't see the knee come hitting his head and from there a kick that pushes him.
The worst comes when he is caught by the sharp and powerful jaws of Salakief who ends up descending rapidly. Stand on her four legs and release the leader of the destroyed Chinese Triads to the ground making him roll for a couple of seconds getting deep wounds through the Dragon's sharp fangs.
"Don't feel lucky. Salakief doesn't eat trash," the dangerous Spellcaster mocks approaching in a calm and amentiating way to the Boss of brown hair. Immediately two Noir Dolls trapped Wu's arms with their Chains, forcing him to rise from the ground. The Dragon approaches her friend and appears threatening to place herself protectively near her owner.
"Now there is only the last problem to deal." the Chinese man is about to say something, but is silenced when the power of Traum comes into use causing him to lose control of his Army of Jiang Shi and be deactivating them. Walking corpses throughout the restricted area of War, fall lifeless, Paper Seals on the head are burned freeing them from the undeserved condemnation.
"I'd like to thank you for making things easier for me to bring everyone to this place. But after all the suffering you've caused so many people and kill Bermuda. There is no way in which I allows you to live." at the end of saying that, he throws against him Cards that have the effects of La Résistance causing their effectiveness to be deadly, but to the surprise of the two, someone interposes.
Heng Wu sees in disbelief Xian Long fall in front of him on the cold snow that begins to turn red, she stands aside showing the Cards embedded in her body. "It's incredible the loyalty that some have in spite of everything. However this time nothing can save you..." Tsuna point to the Magus user of Taoism. Dolls trap him with more Chains starting to crush the body of Heng Wu who starts to scream from the unbearable pain. He sees the cold eyes of the Sky Arcobaleno who does not flinch at the screams.
"Now go to the other World and apologize to Bermuda and all those whom you murdered mercilessly. For now resignate to your fate..." Noir really wanted to make him suffer a lot more, but he is tired of this War that, although short, has claimed the lives of so many innocents... will have to settle for this .
"Au revoir." the farewell was like a final signal to apply immense pressure on the victim being finally his body crushed by the cold grip of those Chains and his remains were scattered in the place.
What happens next is something unexpected for him. A kind of blinding light and a few seconds later can open the eyes without repercussions. Tsuna is surprised to see an immense Desert that seemed to have no end... also discovers he's not alone. Also in the place were his three Servants, Luna, Rider of Red, Salakief and the fifty Noir Dolls.
The Craftsman of the Silent Arts is not the only one confused, the others are in the same state. "Where are we?" Rider asks, confused. It is when they perceive a noise similar to the one of soldiers marching to which all direct their sight towards that side. Soon they can witness a person Tsuna and Assassin can see and recognize.
"Who is that?" Asks Caster of Black uncertainly as he sees tens of thousands of soldiers approaching and feel all of them are very Low-Ranking Servants.
"He was a Servant of the Class Rider who won the False Grail War that was closer to an authentic one. His identity is Iskandar, King of Conquerors." reveals Tsuna clenching his fists by finding himself raging inside. Semiramis was much more expressive in her anger.
"Why?!" The Wise Queen questioned angrily. "Lugegelita Edelfelt and Caster of Red," Tsuna says, closing his eyes. "Of all of us, only the two of them are absent, not a coincidence." it was not difficult to understand they were betrayed. They just eliminated out Heng Wu and were brought here.
"This is the Noble Phantasm: Ionioi Hetairoi. An Irregular Reality Marble that traps its enemies to his Inner World that represents the battles that Iskandar had and can summon his Entire Army... a King who shares his dreams with his loyalists and unites under one banner." he says and sees his allies .
"If you have noticed, we have been trapped in this place and with that put us in check..." the Sky Arcobaleno contemplates each one of the present.
"Edelfelt knows about my strongest attacks. It's sure by Byakuran, she knows after Finale Blackwaltz for a long time and more now that I have just awakened Fortuna, I'm vulnerable." soon Luna comes to an accomplishment.
"All your Techniques capable of killing them all could kill us in the process or weaken you and even if we get out of here, we will be vulnerable to the other participants what would make our Plan useless." the new situation completely complicated things.
"We're forced to fight Iskandar and his Ionioi Hetairoi," Lancer of Black concludes feeling disgusted. They had not expected a betrayal at this point in the War and it's more than likely they will have to fight if they leave here.
...
The King of Conquerors, calm and analytical waits recalling what Waver told him, even knowing the most probable result. The idea of confronting an enemy with Noir's description was something he wanted to do.
"Pay attention, we are about to face enemies of unprecedented Abilities... one of them could kill us all in less than a second if he really want it!" it was surprising to hear what their King reveals.
"But he will not, he'll fight face-to-face with us. Our Mission is to eliminate them as a place or to gain enough time to contain him and his group." Iskandar speaks earnestly while he knows that no Tactics or Strategy will work against them this time, they will be more prepared in case they become surrounded and ironically he will give them the advantage if Luviagelita Edelfelt's information is correct.
In fact to surround them would be giving the victory in silver tray, his best option is a frontal attack and face them closely. "Up ahead, Bucephalus!" The horse stands on its two legs before it begins to run as Iskandar launches his well-known battle cry.
...
"But we will be defeated by the numerical difference," says the concerned Rider of Red. The creator of Fortuna Rebirth sees the King of Conquerors gallop with Bucephalus being followed by his Army.
"I don't think so," he says, drawing the attention of his friends. "We can win," Tsuna remarks before smiling, causing all of them to see him. The confidence that he shows is able to encourage his Allies who don't stop to smiling infected by his optimism and believing easily in his words.
"Besides..." the Noir Dolls aim with their Musket/Rifles and fire starting to eliminate the Soldiers that are coming closer and closer.
"Iskandar has never faced anyone like us... he hasn't faced a Dragon either." Salakief roars at the words of her lord spreading her wings and having her jaws open showing herself ready to spit black fire in her mouth at the same time Tsuna raises his arm towards the sky.
"Night Sentence!" He shouts and at the Dragon shooting into the sky. A immense amount of Spears made of Flame of Night are directed to the enemies arriving to fall like Rain of Arrows arriving to obscure part of the sky.
Out of Ionioi Hetairoi.
"What happened?, Where is Noir and the others?!" Illya exclaims to Lord El-Melloi II, who is calm.
"Inside the Ionioi Hetairoi. Rider dragged Noir and the others to his Reality Marble." that seemed to impress more than one.
"Why are you here?" Caren asks in puzzlement.
"Edelfelt-san contacted me asking for my help. She told me about the Noir Plan. Apparently he would try to kill you all after killing Heng Wu. It was he who drew you to one place... everything to end the War." explains the Magus.
"Noir will have to face the Army of the King of Conquerors if he wants to return." the result obtained leaves many people speechless with astonishment.
"We're safe," Sakura said with relief. Noir was someone who could have killed them all but thanks for this intervention are safe.
"I'm honestly glad you came to help us. Then Noir and his allies would cease to be one of our concerns," Rin says with some relief. Soon a Soldier of Rider's Army bent over one knee.
"How are things?" Asks the former Waver Velvet as he turns to the Soldier and to his surprise the Soldier was seriously wounded, covered in blood with several deep cuts and even lost an arm.
"It goes wrong. He and his group are finishing a fast pace with us. We have managed to eliminate about half of the Dolls, but only that.." it informs to the amazement of many who do not give credence to what they hear. Soon the Soldier falls dead and like any Servant, disappears.
"It's as I feared," El-Melloi II says, worried but not entirely surprised by what he hears. "What do you mean?" Giotto asks, interested to know.
"According to Edelfelt-san's information, Noir and his Allies are unequivocally dangerous. Especially him." he points out looking at the Servant Vongola.
"42 Magic Circuits, all existing Deathperation Flames types and dangerous Killer Skills. According to her, Noir created a Magecraft called Fortuna Rebirth comparable to True Magics." hearing about the true power of Noir causes them to feel shivers. He was a monster, only a monster could have all that.
"Why did not he come out of Reality Marble then?" Reborn asks, understanding that if it's true what Velvet has said, Tsuna should have no trouble even going out. True Magics are unparalleled for the Magus.
"Because he has just perfected Fortuna Rebirth. Edelfelt-san said Fortuna Rebirth was an imperfect but dangerous Magecraft. However during this battle he has awakened it but has not learned to control it at all, only a third part." that did not relieve the concerns of all present in the place.
Inside of Ionioi Hetairoi.
Several Soldiers are beaten by the power of La Black Luna - Panic Calling Magic Flute. As a result, these Soldiers turn to dust and Charlemagne's twelfth paladin blocks with his sword the attack of one whom he easily overcomes and eliminates. Hippogriff maneuvers in the air by evading the Arrows and approaches to finish with several enemies on its way to reach its owner who jumps and falls on its back for the purpose of gaining maneuverability for battle.
Salakief flew while Mei was on her back. The Cat watches with her sight the Battlefield being now she mainly who directs to the Noir Dolls. Of the Three Familiars of Tsuna, Salakief is the most Versatile, Rosemary the strongest and Mei the most intelligent... although she was someone of lazy nature.
...
Luna and Caster of Black team up to use Magecraft Ice and Witchcraft, respectively. Multiple Daggers of Red Ice are thrown at enemies that are completely pierced by Rosso's Improvised Weapons because the Ice possesses the Storm Flames' Ability to make it easier for she to kill her opponents.
Tamamo fires Curse: Fiery Heaven primarily by being a more advantageous attack because of its Range of attack being more widespread. Both cover their backs while being aided by a group of Noir Dolls and fight in a coordinated way without problem. Soon the Hitwoman throws a Special Grenade against the group more distant and this exploits releasing Tear Gas.
Something that the fox Servant uses to attack those affected by the Gas. "Take this!" she again uses Curse: Fiery Heaven against vulnerable enemies while the others are victims of the Noir Replicas shots.
...
Scáthach quickly liquidates to several opponents either with the use of her Primordial Runes or her Spears being easy to her to be made to step at the same time her lust by the Battle it envelops her, she does it without losing focus of which she has allies by what stops to herself to fully develop... she did not want to make mistakes. Lancer wields her Spear and thereby spreads the blood of enemies. Although the situation is precarious, she feels good to be able to fight without restrictions. For the same and of unconscious form with the look she looks for her Allies checking their situation but mainly sher does it looking for her Master and soon she sees him.
He was standing with an enviable ease between the enemies holding in each hands a Small Ice Stake tied to multiple Strings being that four Automatons move fast holding the same ice object type with them where they were the other ends of the Strings... they do it killing with a single movement to so many enemies cutting them. However she sees him disappear through Veniality and feels immediately he appears near Assassin who has shown acceptable Skills for a battle of this type despite her Class. Lancer remembers that she was with Tsuna for three years and both learned from each other. That is why when three Warriors manage to defeat a Doll, Semiramis easily retrieves the Doll's Rifle and uses it as an expert at the same time she moves gracefully avoiding the Edge of enemy Weapons.
...
Master and Servant can fight at a synchronized pace without any verbal or mental speech. In a way for both it was like a waltz. He had killed countless victims since joining Vindice. Although indirectly, she had caused a lot of deaths and rarely killed anyone personally. However, killing with her own hands directly is something she agreed to do, not because she was a Servant, but because she decided to fight with her Master walking always by his side, never going ahead or staying behind... always at the same pace.
Even if he knew her story from her, that she was a bad person, her selfishness, her passions, flaws and virtues. He accepted her without hesitation and even openly entrusted his life to her and allowed her to know everything about him without either of them keeping secrets between them... Tsuna loved her no matter what and Semiramis loved him as she never imagined she would do it, think or feel.
She smiles internally because she knows she has finally stopped being alone and has surpassed Derketo, she has the man she loves and plans to be by his side forever. Either in this life in which fate brought them together or in the False Paradise now called Imperia Panorama - Clockwork Prison where they will be together all eternity after the death... in the end neither of the two ends bothers her, on the contrary, but prefers to be able to enjoy along with her beloved Tsuna more time in this World where they met.
...
Soldiers and Noir Dolls die. As Iskandar reaches to destroy a Doll with Kupriotes. He can see the Dragon of Noir fly low and shoot a Dark Orange Fire further burning the place and killing several with ease... the strange thing was that Dragon did not even bother to dodge the Arrows or Spears that are thrown to him, all the Arms pass through the Dragon as if it were a Phantom but instead its attacks were real and are killing so many of his men.
In spite of the painful losses, he is impressed with the Abilities of his adversaries, especially Noir and Lancer. While Assassin possesses great Skills, she is not a warrior unlike them two. He knows perfectly well that Noir could kill them all if he wanted to, but he has a mind sharp enough to know the position in which he would find himself and at the same time he has decided to confront Ionioi Hetairoi with his allies motivated by his Bonds to them and the selfish desire to fight alongside them. At the same time Noir recognizes is his best choice if he wants to leave Ionioi Hetairoi with all of them.
Lancer of Black is dangerous, she could cause disasters but she have care, she doesn't wear too much and not hurt her companions... it is certainly admirable the value that they all have to cling to their lives. More does not contain a smile because even if he has already lost three quarters of his Immense Army, he is content to have an epic battle as he could never have since coming back to this World.
"Come on, do not stop and keep fighting until the end!" He screams, seeking to encourage the will to fight of his men who respond with a fierce cry despite the enormous deaths of their companions. As the Rider of the War of the False Grail shouts, don't stop thinking it's a bad thing Noir and his group are enemies. He didn't try to negotiate or convince them to join him because they would never accept... for that small group Noir was their King although they haven't yet realized.
Out of Ionioi Hetairoi.
The attention was attentive to those present. Even if they were not inside the Irregular Reality Marble, they could feel their presence to some degree. "Then we still have opportunity," says Illya, who still has the Mission to kill Noir, especially now that she knows his power is something without equal.
"You don't have it!" They hear a new voice that makes them turn and see a man with white hair and glasses wearing a kind of green Kimono. "Kawahira!" Tsukina names alarmed to see him from all the people there.
"What do you mean by that?" Reborn asks suspiciously. "The Uncertain Future. During the fight with Byakuran, Noir located me and confronted me... even if Fortuna was in an incomplete state, he managed to kill me." the revelation leaves the Mafia members incredulous.
"Impossible," exclaim the Donna Vongola. "Even if I have ten times more power than Tsukina in her Ultimate Dying Will Mode. He managed to kill me with no possibility that I could escape or prevent it... although we both died as a final result." he says while eating instant soup from a plastic cup showing calm.
"The truth is; you were not alone in acquiring the memories of the Uncertain Future, he and I also," Checker Face confesses without guilt. "He walks a long way, even if he only lived for the sake of his twin sister and Vindice's goal. Now he has known love and hate... he is still human," Kawahira looks towards the Tower.
"He overcame Bermuda years ago, defeated Tsukina Vongola, and now he has something to lose he will fight and he will break his limits whenever necessary for what he wants... in a certain tragic and romantic way," Kawahira expresses with nostalgia, memorizing her own death in Future that will never exist.
"Edelfelt-san mentioned something troubling. She said: Noir surpasses the Speed of Light, is that true?" Kawahira does not externalize it, but finds something wrong they know about it. The worst comes in the words of Lord El Melloi II, is supposed to be a detail that no one should know. Look at the Magus before looking at the Tower.
"I could not say. He killed me without using a Skill like the one you mentioned." the ancient man comments trying to create doubt. Tsuna can overcome the Speed of Light, but he could never defeat two opponents in Ultimate Dying Will Mode at a time with Finale Blackwaltz. "You talked too much, Edelfelt-san. But Tsuna and the others still have a chance to win..." it is then when Kawahira notices the excessive tranquility of Velvet. "Don't tell me they are gaining time, that means..." does not end of says in his mind with understanding what will happen.
"I see, then I retire." the ancient man says in calm. "Are you running away?" Reborn asks in mock suspicion. "Although we have confronted death in the past, there are no grudges between the two of us. It doesn't make sense to stay here, it will be a waste of time and the truth is that I have things to do." the Tri-Ni-Sette's Protector begins to retire at calm.
Seek to help him a little in his precarious situation, if they received help, don't see why Tsuna should not receive help from him. He does not like the fact that they have an idea of what Tsuna can do, even if the Tri-Ni-Sette is safe even if he dies, he doesn't want the boy's life to be wasted when he still has to live and experience more things... he's just starting to really live.
The movement of Luviagelita Edelfelt was the right one, but spoke of more. Tsuna has break several Rules and taboos for the Magus World which makes him a High Priority Target. Vindice would protect him against everything and all this could trigger a War between the Two Worlds. Even if the Clock Tower has no authority over Tsuna, something of such great potential cannot be overlooked, but perhaps he could still play a Card capable of changing that.
Inside of Ionioi Hetairoi.
Iskandar hides his pain at the majority loss of his men, those loyal who accompanied him during his campaign and even after death are followed him and resulting in Ionioi Hetairoi. The black fire mingling with the fire created by the Lancer's Runes wrapping the whole place forming a real Hell. Most of the Noir Dolls have been destroyed with fewer than twenty remaining, but those who matter most from adversaries have been scarcely injured. Even if Iskandar knew the result, it was too soon to be lose according to his calculations. It was partly illogical an Army like his did not manage to at least kill one of the enemies except the Noir Dolls.
The red-haired King watches him. Noir is standing and barely moving avoiding the lunges. Soon, in a couple of seconds, he murders them mercilessly, all of them being cut off by a Black Chain held by the night-killer. One of his men with a shout seeks to cut him with his Sword, but in reward Noir's hand cuts his head with a simple movement ending with the hand pointing up... he does as if his adversary was but a nuisance.
Something in the King of Conquerors makes him forget his emotion for the battle and rushes towards the person who has brought the death of many in his Army. His sharp Sword tries to cut it, but is surprised when Noir blocks the edge having made appear in his hand a type of Dark Spear that resembled the Clock Hand that marks the seconds and with which stops the attack.
While both Weapons collide, Iskandar is surprised. It is now that he realizes by looking at those cold eyes whose color is comparable to the sunset and the contact of the Weapons that he can perceive it. "What did you do?" He asks, applying more force to the thrust but without any result. Even with his size, Noir is much stronger than he appears.
"You were slow to notice. Very well, I'll show you," after those words, Iskandar blinks and finds himself preferring not to have known... Ionioi Hetairoi has been corrupted. He saw how many of his men were killing each other, all of Reality Marble seemed to begin to break and be crushed by Chains and Strings covering everything and the sky seemed broken and fragmented with Dimensional Cracks. "What did you do?" He says incredulously. The killer does not change his expression.
"You should know, it's too obvious," Tsuna says nonchalantly. "It's impossible you could corrupt or Alter a Reality Marble, there is no such thing as..." the Masedonius stops talking when he remembers the Information obtained from Luviagelita Edelfelt. Fortuna Rebirth may be equated with True Magics, but even so he would have realized that his greatest pride was being affected.
He was incredulous when he saw something dangling from Noir's neck, an object he recognized. "Don't tell me that..." Tsuna doesn't even blink. Out of nowhere, huge Clock Hands appear and annihilate the rest of the enemies for disbelief of the King of Conquerors.
"The Rainbow is the Point of Existence, Vongola the Continuous Time in a straight line and Mare the Alternate Lines. Even if I am Sky Arcobaleno, I don't need the Sky Pacifier to corrupt Ionioi Hetairoi... you simply underestimated my Power." the former Vindice clarifies without being affected.
In a way Noir thanks Byakuran. The Alternate Lines of the Different Worlds had helped him along with the Memories of the Various Futures seen by Scáthach. Knowledge about the extent of his power in the three lives he crossed, his self from the Alternate Line where Kiyohime was his Servant instead of Semiramis gave him the answer.
Killer Instinct surpasses the Hyper Intuition when it comes to survival and being in danger has allowed him to know more about himself. The dangerous situation allowed him to know more the scope of his power by be in danger and to seek his survival and protect his allies. Shinryaku in combination with Origin began to devour Ionioi Hetairoi progressively giving him control.
In order for Iskandar not to realize of it, he used Fantasia, unlike Traum, Fantasia mainly affected the perception of its victims. Once Reality Marble was corrupted by Fortuna, he simply manifested its Abilities through Reality Marble. Endlessly altered the Time of the enemy, Gravity the Mobility and Acceleratio healed the serious wounds that his allies received and it improved their form of combat with Rivière making them more fluid and precise with their movements in the Battle... all that is possible thanks to Paradigm Distortion.
Fantasia to deceive the Enemies by making them believe that some of them were the enemy and causing them to be killed between them, Veniality allowed him to protect Salakief and Mei making them intangible... yes, Iskandar underestimated him. Even if Luviagelita had information about his Power, there are things that even Byakuran himself doesn't know.
It had been complicated, but it was the best solution not to wear too much if they were expecting them once out of here, but it was worth it. "We will not continue in this place, all prepare." the Craftsman indicates to the others know they are likely to have to continue fighting as soon as they leave. It heard something crack and from there Ionioi Hetairoi is destroyed and the killer kicks Iskander hard while everything seems to shine blind them all.
He falls heavily on the frozen ground covered by Frost Canvas. The kick had been very strong coming to break some ribs. Hear the exclamations of all the other Masters and Servants in the place when they meet the bad news that the King of Conquerors has lose. Rider knows Noir could have killed him if he really wanted it, it seems that the abandoned twin spared his life or he might not let him live because he would not gain anything by killing him... he cannot say for sure, that individual is difficult and complicated to understand.
Tsukina watched in disbelief as her brother's return. What was alarming was that there was no casualty save the Vindice Copies. They could all recognize to their surprise many incongruities, such as the presence of Caster of Black, Luna Rosso and Rider of Red from the side of Noir and the mysterious woman of dark dress like the midnight whose presence was comparable to the decay. Tsuna still holding the large Clock Needle, moves his arm and that simple gesture causes his next enemies to defeat to be placed on guard.
"It's enough for now," a female voice is heard Tsuna and Sakura instantly recognize. In the next second all of them without exception find themselves with multiple Weapons aiming at everyone. A golden light showing like a Divine Door and the same more Weapons emerging. What attracts attention is to see a woman in civilian clothes black and white, golden hair and red eyes with the pupil equal to that of a reptile.
"Gil-san!" Matou names surprised to see the Servant of the Fourth Grail War. The named one shows a smile full of arrogance and pride. Tsuna grits his teeth as he finds this become more complicated. Gilgamesh was also one of the biggest complications in the Futures. He is not sure what role she is playing now.
"What are you doing here, Gilgamesh?" the Ex-Vindice finally asks, standing alert. The woman only accented her smile.
"You behave with me so rudely, but I'll forgive you because you've entertained me a lot, Tsuna," she says, noting the many people on the side of the boy she has decided to claim to her own long ago. Well, she would let it be for the time being, now there are other issues to deal with.
"Vindice made a deal with me. You do not need to know the details, only that I am part of the Administrators because Ruler became a Servant participant of this War." that sack of balance to all, including Scáthach and Tsuna. They could not understand the Conditions by which Gilgamesh would agree to cooperate with Vindice and the Administrators, but it must be something important and worrying.
"One moment, you say she is the Servant of which my Father was her Master." A sharp look of the blond woman silenced Tohsaka. "Your father was her invoker, never her Master." the Sky Arcobaleno intervenes trying to make things no more complicated. The King of Heroes smiles pleased to see Tsuna even with his distrust respects her.
Lord El Melloi II helps his friend and Servant get up. Even if Noir and his group managed to win earlier than calculated, they managed to earn enough time. In the next several seconds Warp Hole are manifested and from them emerge Jager, Alejandro, Jack, Risei Kotomine, a clergyman of the Church, Aria Giglio Nero, Gamma and Vongola Nono.
"This is a joke of lousy taste," Tsuna said when he saw those who had appeared. "We're here because of the latest events," Jager says, getting everyone's attention.
"With the death of Heng Wu and the Jiang Shi neutralized. With all that has happened we have determined that the Sixth War of the Holy Grail is suspended." the news surprises everyone.
"For how long?" Caren asks her grandfather. "Three days that start from tomorrow at 7:00 a.m." this was bad, three days is too long for everyone to recover. If Tohsaka and the rest recover his chances of winning are reduced too.
"The Church, Vindice and Mage's Association will recover the bodies of the victims in this War and these three days will be to mourn the innocents who have died. Vongola, Giglio Nero and their allies will help in this work. That's the least we can do," Timoteo explains with some regret. That was enough for no one to protest, were so many deaths that could not ignore giving the dead at least three days of mourning to stop the War that cost so many lives.
"When the established time has expired, all Competitors will carry out the Last Battle to definitively determine the winner. The consequences in case of fighting before the established time is death. You can all use that time to plan Strategies or Preparations for the Final Battle," Alejandro suggests coldly.
"Any Restraint?" Assassin of Black asks interestedly attracting everyone's attention. "None except the participating Servants and Masters can fight. The use of Familiars is allowed, the Dolls are also allowed to be something within the Category Tool or Weapon." explains Jack without emotion in his voice.
"Will they allow such advantages?" Illya asks suspiciously, and thinking again they were on Noir's side. Jager giggles.
"They are Elements and Tools that a Magus comes to occupy during a Holy Grail War. To prohibit its use would mean that Tsukina Vongola, Enma Kozato and Sakura Matou also cannot use their Rings, Animal Ring or Puppets, the same would apply to the Jewels of Tohsaka and in your case you would be prohibited to use Bullet of Origin." Einzbern is surprised to hear something thus, they have again cornered her, among all that they know of the Special Bullets that his father gave her.
"If there is nothing more to discuss, I'll retire," Tsuna says pretending to leave, but soon someone decides to speak. "Wait, I want you to answer something first," is Reborn's words stopping the killer's exit.
"Where are Iemitsu and the Homunculus?" The orange-eyed boy turns his body slightly, still finding Gilgamesh's Weapons pointing at him, but he and his group surrounded by the Noir Dolls. The Hitman question causes Tsukina to remember that detail.
"Where is Otou-san?!" Tsukina asks desperately, recalling the main reason he came here. "Ah, that..." a Warp Hole manifests and from this came the Second Familiar of the killer of the Silent Arts. On the shoulder of her was the Patriarch Sawada chained and was seen with some blows, but awake.
"I brought him alive as you asked, Tsuna-sama." the Maid communicates to his master. "I apologize for giving you such an unpleasant chore, Rosemary," she lets the CEDEF Boss fall to the ground without any care.
"Otou-san!" Tsukina calls worried wanting to help him, but Reborn stops her by raising his arm to stop her. The leader of CEDEF is tired and weak, but alive.
"Tsukina," he names by showing quite weak. The abandoned twin kicks him causes to turn upside down.
"I knew the best way to get you here was by using this insignificant and pathetic man. It really surprises me that you can call this scum, father," he stomps Iemitsu's stomach with a cold expression. The adult complains of pain.
"You could not imagine what I discovered recently or how it came within my reach," he says with a sarcastic smile.
"You were the one who kidnapped Vincent, right?" Illya accused, furious and tired of not knowing about her little brother. The Wise Queen laughs a little at the impatience of Kiritsugu's daughter.
"I would not say kidnapping, we recovered it. After all, the child had been under our care since before the War," she says, drawing everyone's attention.
"Besides, none of you did a good job taking care of him. In any case you should not worry about him, right now he is safe away from your reach... although you should worry more for yourselves." reminds the long-haired woman of their precarious situation.
"Who are you?" Caren asks, trying to gain time to think of something. "You are no none to demand anything from me, yet I will answer: Assassin of Black." she answers the question, provoking surprise in the majority of those present.
"The Lost Servant," whispers Saber of Black, finally seeing the First Servant who was summoned three years ago. "It's easy you could not imagine something like that, after all Hassan-I-Sabbah is usually the Servant of the Assassin Class as it was in the previous Wars. I am a rather special case." presumes the woman of depraved beauty.
"Considering who you are, you're quite special," Tsuna says with a calm smile. "I see, that explains everything." It is Ruler's words that steps forward, drawing everyone's attention.
"What do you mean?" Asks Reborn, who is alert to the slightest movement. "Ruler possesses the Skill to know the Identity and Class of each Servant. That provokes know the identity of Assassin of Black." Caren concludes to what the corrupt Servant nods.
"Who is she?" Asks Enma/Daemon, their voice altered as she is affected by Frost Canvas, although it has stopped snowing, the place is surrounded by Snow.
"The Ancient Wise Queen who ruled the Kingdom of Assyria: the Great Semiramis." the name was immediately recognized by the majority except Tsukina, Enma and Daemon. The same Servant revealed her identity considering it is better to be presented as she should. Tsuna doesn't contain a lively smile.
"Semiramis?" Donna Vongola asks, not knowing who she is. "She was known as the First Poisoner in the World, daughter of the Goddess Derketo who became the Queen of Assyria using her beauty to marry the King of that time and kill him with Poison. A lustful and depraved woman who by her passions provoked a War and extended the Kingdom of Assyria... in other words, a horrible woman." are the words of the best Hitman of the World.
"I would be careful in your place, Reborn. You are being very rude to a lady." Tsuna says who is not worried and is even trying to restrain himself from attack knowing the Hitman seeks some crack in him to manipulate him. "Of all those present, I doubt you are referring to her." he insults once more, the woman whom he offends laughs.
"Well, he does not think of me as you do," she says, embracing her Master from behind, causing anger in Tsukina and Ruler. The first one because such a horrible woman is close to her innocent brother while the second because of her feelings for him, at first she liked him, but those feelings evolved when she was corrupted.
"Get away from him!" orders the brown-haired twin. "Why?, I like to have him close to me, besides there is nothing wrong with hugging my Master." with those words Semiramis indicates her Contract with Tsuna causing much more doubts than before, as well as suspicions.
"It means..." Sakura whispers, still weak by Frost Canvas as she watches the newly discovered Servant.
"That night Tsuna had come to assassinate Renard Turner, but he used your dear brother as a Source of Prana... Tsuna is my only true Master. Renard Turner, on the other hand, was just my summoner, that simple." summarize what happened that night.
"I kept hiding her existence from everyone, including Vindice. That was for the next three years," Tsuna says with a sullen smile.
"Lancer of Black became a Servant of Tsuna when I killed Bazdilot Cordelion while he tried to flee. I saved Caster of Black and her Master during the attack of Ruler and Enma Kozato with the Deal that she would become a Servant under the command of Tsuna." Semiramis reveals with some pride her participation in those events when Hortensia and Saber believed both allies had dead that night.
"What about her?" Rin asks, looking at the messy-haired girl. "The night before the battle of St. Andrews, we became allies," the Hitwoman answers with a tired smile.
"The truth is I have no interest in winning the Grail, I'm interested in Tsuna's triumph," she says with a mocking smile. "I don't need a Miraculous Artifact to fulfill my wishes because these have already been fulfilled," admits Rosso.
"Are you okay with all this?" Cú Chulainn asks his Shishou between serious and incredulous that she willingly accepted all this. The proud warrior smiles with amusement.
"Although you have become a hero who is part of the Throne of Heroes, you are still a naive child unable to accept things or realize the obvious. I accepted Tsuna as my Master, no matter what. Same thing you did with Rin Tohsaka. Although I see I will have to kill you as I should have done then, my student." Scáthach points out taking her two Spears showing no hesitation to comply with what has been said. Saber takes a look at Caster of Black who is serious.
"Einzbern's actions allowed Kozato to be possessed and Ruler corrupted, almost causing the death of my Master... no, now Tsuna-san is my Master and Hakuno has been saved thanks to him. So I have nothing to think..." the fox girl comes to smile with complicity.
"I'm also interested in helping him get the Grail." she is sincere and although Tsuna stays cold inside, she feels by her Contract with him that he is surprised by what she said. Tamamo remembers the moment when he and Assassin embraced each other, the feelings and love they distilled for each other... she was envious to see that someone like Semiramis could love and be loved sincerely.
Part of having decided to continue with the Deal despite the fact that Tsuna said it was not necessary, it was to verify for herself the feelings of both and to find out they actually loved each other with madness that it even hurt to think of them separating... one of her most strong reasons to help them was that Tsuna saved Hakuno and she in return wanted to help them stay together. Part of her envies them because even if she knows Hakuno loves her and vice versa, it's not the same as the two of them.
"Do you really want to kill us?" Rin comes to question seriously. "Well, it is what is commonly done in a War, no?, a War does not end until one side is defeated or died." are the words of the Rosso who is next to Hippogriff and Rider.
"Do you really want to kill me?" Tsukina asks her twin, was hurt and sad, but she felt she deserved this after all she did. Tsuna looks at her.
"It's all gone too far, Tsukina. It is sad and regrettable all this and forgiveness is something divine that we do not possess." Tsuna kicks hard to Iemitsu even breaking a couple of ribs.
"I'll tell you why I decided to cut with my past, which translates as my Bonds to you and Vongola," he starts to step on Iemitsu's head slowly applying pressure. Timoteo tries to stop him, but Jager's arm prevents it. "It is true Iemitsu and some others escaped from Vendicare by taking advantage of the complications that Vindice suffered from this War. He even communicated with his allies and CEDEF to carry out a large-scale attack on Vindice and this place." that surprises many.
"What Noir says is true. Although for these moments all those involved in the attack on Vindice have been executed." a chill runs through all while Reborn becomes livid as his student and Vongola Nono shows regret in his expression.
"What do you mean?" The Hitman questioned the twin of the night. "Iemitsu Sawada's Plans have failed long before they started ... it is not a coincidence that only two managed to escape from Vindice and find themselves in the territory of this War." Jager responds in place of Noir, an idea crosses the head of the members of Vongola and Shimon. Something frightening they do not want to accept.
"Basil..." Tsukina murmurs remembering his father's apprentice. "He made a Deal with Vindice, in exchange for immunity to Clara Magnolia, Natsuyoshi Sawada and himself, as well as the opportunity to meet with me. He would give Vindice every detail of the Plans of attack... of course also delivere to those who escaped with him and between them including this garbage," explains Noir with some coldness and anger.
"You're lying, there's no way Basil's betraying Vongola!" Reborn complains, not wanting to believe that things get worse by now. "The truth is that to him is more important his family and not the father who denied of him" his words cause Basil's acquaintances to be gasped by the statement.
"What do you mean?" Donna Vongola asks incredulously. "Iemitsu Sawada in a drunkenness, had a one-night cheat despite having a wife with twins on the way," Tsukina falls to her knees looking at her progenitor feeling the World fall on her.
"This scum rejected and denied his own son for being evidence of his betrayal, denied him for not possessing this," raise his hand and to the surprise of many, Sky Flames are manifested in his hand.
"Only dared to take him under his care for being the Last Will of a dying woman who loved his son and feared to leave him alone." raise his voice barely restraining himself from killing him.
"I realized how unfair I was, I had been so focused on looking after your well-being that I did not pay attention to Natsuyoshi or Basil with whom I only share blood for this garbage." what leaves the members of the Mafia breathless is to see the orange fire turns black with cold and sinister presence.
"Then it was true. That you have Flames of Night means you have known despair and hatred... I would give anything so that you would never have felt such painful emotions." Tsukina laments with sadness.
"What is your true objective?, if you try to bring your mother back, then you should not try to kill your own sister." Giotto try to dialogue to reach him. Tsuna raises his face to the sky while his eyes are closed.
"I see you have not understood, I have no desire to revive my mother or change my past. I have never regretted or regretted my life," he declares without opening his eyes.
"What I'm looking for is much more important than the Tri-Ni-Sette, much more important than everything in the World... more important than recovering my mother... I seek to win and give the Grail to Semiramis." Tsuna reveals at same time he opening his eyes though raising the voice to leave many unbelievers.
"Are you crazy?, Do you know what she could do with such power?!" Reborn exclaims. Gilgamesh was enjoying all this drama, had not imagined she would see it in the front row. She admits to having underestimated him, did not foresee that he already had a Contract and among all, he even hid Vindice his Condition as Master... in truth Tsuna turned out to be much more impressive than she imagined.
"It is my decision and my will, it depends on Tsukina and the others to avoid it. Although it would be illusion on the part of everyone to believe I will allow myself to lose." Noir announces decided.
"Noir-kun," the priest names what the alluded one observes. "Come, please." Tsuna felt reluctant, afraid to have Command Spells withdrawn as a sanction, one for hiding his status as a Master for three years, another for fighting and kidnapping Vincent and finally a third for having been about to kill the others participants leading them into a trap. However he obeys and is willing to break the Rules, to use Fantasia to deceive Kotomine. He doesn't intend to give up his Contract with Semiramis, Scáthach and Tamamo.
"Your hand," Risei asks Noir, "if he take away your Command Spells, the three of us will be able to make a Contract with Rosso and she can give you a Command Spell so you can regain your status as a Master," Tsuna heard Semiramis say by Telepathy. However it is likely Luna will be fined and leave one... if he uses Fantasia, he could make Risei Kotomine believe that he took a Luna's Command Seal and she would have two... he smiles internally because he never imagined he would be so willing to break the Rules.
The priest of Fuyuki takes the hand and to the surprise of all those who hoped to have managed to remove to Noir of the competition, a red shine manifests and soon reveals Noir has obtained a New Command Spell. "Why?" Does not avoid asking what the old member of the Church smiles.
"You ruined Heng Wu and the Jiang Shi threat. It was said this would be a Prize for whoever did it. It would be hypocritical of us to punish you for keeping your status as a Master secret since my granddaughter was Master and Arbitrator," says Risei.
"I tried to kill her," says Tsuna, who still has his hand held by old Kotomine. "You could have, but you did not. Both she and I know the risks but she chose to participate and I accepted she did so even with the risks and how much I lost. You have had the opportunity to kill them all from the beginning but you did not... I hope you continue to fight honorably as you have hitherto; Tsuna Von Veckenschtein-kun." Risei expresses with a sad smile. He know did the right thing, in turn has a hunch that even if Caren doesn't win, she will live after this War.
With this has planted the doubt and compassion in this boy who will remember this gesture and avoid taking the life of his granddaughter. Tsuna, like his group, are relieved, however the Sky Arcobaleno can recognize the desperate petition hidden in this gesture and with this to understand was wrong and perhaps the Suspension of War is a signal.
It is when the former Sun Arcobaleno notes something coming out of the interior of the vest... an orange Pacifier. That causes Reborn to feel his legs falter for the first time. "You're Sky Arcobaleno," he says, causing astonishment in most of those who were there.
"The Eighth Element was always the answer to breaking the Curse. Flame of Night stops the time of who owns its Power... I own its power and Sky Flames, I have created a way to protect the Tri-Ni-Sette definitively. I am the Last Sky Arcobaleno, even if I die, no one else will need to take my place. So there's no need to worry or excuses not to face me." the Ex-Vindice warns with some humor.
"Does it mean that you're immortal?" Asks Rin, who remains calm despite the latest events. "Vindice created me as The Ultimate Weapon capable of killing anyone and everything. Immortal I'm not, I can still die by violent means, although I am difficult to kill, you can ask Einzbern and her Berserker," the white-haired boy mocks and Einzbern/Emiya is irritated.
"Yet I shall cease to grow old without the necessity of being a Dead Apostle and I preserving my bodily functions. Well, some have decided to follow me in this Path." Luna soon shows a red Pacifier cataloging her as the Storm Arcobaleno.
Tsuna's sister gets up, what she has heard from her father has destroyed her, but she has realized that this pain is nothing compared to what her brother has lived.
"I'm going to stop you, Tsuna. I'll win and bring back Kaa-san, once I do, we can be the family we should have been." he smiles wistfully.
"Tsukina, if we face, I'll kill you," he warns his twin sister who smiles sadly. "You're lying, I know. But I'm going to win and save you from that woman. Together we can repair the damage and be a family." he stops smiling and appears taciturn.
"Tsukina, long ago I killed to someone with whom I share blood ties," he says confusing his sister, Timoteo and Reborn. Iemitsu thought he meant his beloved Nana.
"Have you questioned the way Oro Famiglia found out about our mother?" Tsuna questioned and she denied. "Enrico Vongola." the name provokes surprise, fear and pain in his twin, Timoteo and Iemitsu were incredulous by the answer.
"Being the eldest, Enrico hoped to be the Vongola Decimo. The stupid one you have as a father went off with a loose tongue and Enrico fearing the possibility of losing his place as Vongola Boss, sent Oro Famiglia to kill our mother and us her children," she covers her mouth with fear.
"If you're looking for the killer of Enrico, Massimo and Federico, you have it in front of you." Reborn grits his teeth at what Noir is planning, confusing Tsukina and doubting her determination to save him.
"The quarrel in which he died, went with me where I revealed my identity and told him my intentions of revenge. His reaction was interesting when in his last moments I told him that I would kill his brothers." she knows that he tells the truth, her Intuition does not deceive her, it was painful to discover her brother killed them three who were her elder brothers who took care of her. To think that the oldest of them tried to kill her was painful and in the meantime he would smile at her like nothing.
Timoteo feels faint, he never imagined this would happen, to hear was the child that Iemitsu left was the guilty one of the death of his sons. "You want to kill me, Timoteo Vongola?" He asks, drawing the attention of the old Boss.
"It would be normal to want to take revenge against the killer who snatched your sons from you." the former Jailer Vindice stresses the normality of wanting revenge. "No. Revenge leads to an endless cycle of hatred." Vongola Nono responds resignedly and tired.
"I didn't think I heard more naive and stupid words. Even if you are an old man, it is no excuse to believe something so ridiculous," the killer of the Silent Arts accuses without mercy.
"I suppose it's the decision of each and their way of seeing the World." Noir concludes by knowing that it makes no sense to compel others to think alike, that is one of the causes that cause so many conflicts in the World.
"I'm not going to kill you," Tsukina says, and he is surprised before he smiles. "If you say it for the Tri-Ni-Sette and the Arcobaleno System, I told you, you don't have to worry, it's over. Even if I die, there will be no need for more Arcobaleno. Uni and many others will be safe. You don't have to restrain yourself." he motivates Tsukina to let him go.
"Even if you tell the truth, I'm not going to kill you, you're my brother. We have a bond that nothing can break." he is surprised by what she says and see in her brown eyes her sincerity and determination to save it... it is a pity there is no one to save. Smile at the same time, close his eyes. To think that he would see despite everything Tsukina has decided to act like his older sister, to know she loves him but does not accept him really sadens him but it have reminded something important to him.
Tsuna kicks Boss CEDEF by sending him to Reborn who catches him. "The Homunculus with the Great Grail must be present in the Battlefield." Alejandro warns his old companion Jailer who nods before observing his future adversaries.
"I advise you to retire. I will respect the judgment of the Arbitrators. Do it before I regret it." Donna Vongola smiles knowing her brother is allowing them to leave, but also feels he wants to be alone. That was good, distance and time alone could help him understand.
She worried that he would stay with that despicable woman who has contaminated her brother, but her Intuition tells her that he will be fine for what she undertakes her retreat with her allies being Giotto who takes Iemitsu who gives a look of resentment to the monster that has humiliated him once again, he who dared not only to hurt his family, but also to his Famiglia... would make him pay for this.
Illya acknowledges not being able, is forced to work alongside the Sawada and her group if she wants to stop Noir, she cannot allow the Grail to fall into the hands of him and Assassin of Black. Soon the rest of Masters and Servants leave leaving the Arbitrators with Tsuna and his group. Jager and his teammates are proud of how far Tsuna has come, that he can achieve the Bermuda's goal.
"Before we left. This is for you." Lord El-Melloi II delivers a Letter to Noir. The orange-eyed Craftsman accepts the Letter. Gilgamesh withdrew her Weapons with a smile. This turned out better than she expected.
"You did a great job of entertaining me. I hope you continue doing it and you show me that you are worthy, Tsuna." he is confused.
"Worthy?" He questions even though he does not understand what she means, but in response Gilgames only gives him a mysterious smile.
"You'll find out later, for now make sure you do not die and win." she in this commentary ends the conversation. The killer makes disappear the big Clock Hand as a sign that he don't attack before the set time. The woman known as the King of Heroes smiles entertainingly before licking her lips with impudence arriving to surprise and blush at twin of the night
"We withdraw," is what Jack says before he disappears, taking with him the Arbitrators and Gilgamesh. Knowing alone, Salakief loses her fourth form and multiplies herself into a flock of Crows being the majority that fade like smoke in the air. Luna and the others had noticed, the Fourth Form of Salakief is very powerful but it wears Tsuna quite a bit, especially having recently completed Fortuna... one of the Crows poses on her master's shoulder. Mei falls on her paws standing next to Rider of Red.
The orange-eyed boy turns to Assassin who imitates him. He walks over to her and they embrace in silence. He can feel the rage in her, frustration, sadness, fear and pain. Once again they have to fight but this time in a battle where they had all to lose. She could not hold everything she felt completely, he felt her trembling, they both know what they feel. They have lost by failing to end the War once and for all, they have failed to save Vincent and secure their triumph.
Caster and Lancer did not need to listen to them because because of their contract they feel their feelings and in some ways both feel the same. Luna felt regret and disappointment because her Sky would have to fight with the risk of losing to those who love and Rider a mixture of emotions invading him, between it fault. However in that embrace both felt a comfort that gave them strength, the will to cling even to the small spark that they managed to overcome the adversities and at the same time be willing to achieve it however difficult it seems... are not yet willing to give up the happiness.
"What are we going to do?" Tamamo decides to interrupt after a couple of minutes. Gently Tsuna and Semiramis separate knowing that she is right... that brief moment was enough to ease the hurts a little.
"We might begin by knowing the contents of the Letter," Rosso suggests, to which Tsuna opens the envelope and pulls out a white sheet. It does not take a minute to finish reading. "What does it say?" Rosemary asks.
"Only corroborates that Luviagelita betrayed us and her reasons." delivers the Letter to Luna who takes it to read it, hence said sheet of paper begins to change hands.
"Tsuna, you could show me the Box with the Pacifiers without owner." the killer doesn't find problem in the request of his First Servant, instead if it was strange. Without a problem he directed a glance at the Maid who made the Wooden Box appear and handed it over to her owner and the latter he did not hesitate to pass it on to Assassin of Black.
"I have no problem with that, although I don't understand why," the lusty Queen gives him an enigmatic smile. "I just want to take a look. Nothing wrong, I promise you." Noir shows an skeptical smile where he showed a good mood while she took the Box of Pacifiers.
The Craftsman picks up a noise, something that could relate to a moan and therefore directs his attention to the point where it came. It is when he comes to see the girl from China; Xian Long. Noir walks over to her and notices she was unconscious but alive. The Bodyguard of the deceased leader of the now destroyed Chinese Triads followed with life. She was unconscious, but she was shaking from the cold, partly from the icy Snow of Frost Canvas and also from the loss of blood... she was paler than before. In the left hand Tsuna makes to appear again the Needle of Clock that used like Spear recently.
"Like the killer from Vindice, I've always been known as someone who has no compassion. Throughout my life I never had compassion for my Targets to kill. Being a Weapon with the sole purpose of fulfilling the desires and will of Vindice, never leave a single objective with life," Noir rests on the cold Snow on his left knee placing the tip on the back of her where the heart would be.
"You've kept yourself alive despite crossing my road and losing everything. It would be ruthless of me to end your life after holding on so hard to live," the white-haired boy says as if she could hear him. Rider is about to try to stop him, but Lancer stops him by interjecting her Spear to stop him.
"On the other hand, by still living you still suffer. Ending your life would end your suffering and in a way if I do, it would be a compassionate act on my part towards you... it would be compassionate to end your suffering." Tsuna mentions the dilema smiling at the end. He raises his weapon and takes the thrust.
"Tsuna." Rider names softly giving a smile as he watches the Last Sky Arcobaleno remove the Cards from her body at the same time he used Acceleratio to heal it and the Clock Needle was nailed to the ground.
"Compassion can often be a mistake, hopefully this time it will not be." the abandoned twin mentions with a sad smile to heal more serious wounds, after all used a considerable amount of Power to give Salakief her Fourth Form and he still has other things to do before.
The former Jailer Vindice ends up saving the life of Xian Long and sits on the Snow. Assassin of Black approaches her Master who receives from her the Box of the Pacifiers that he soon made to disappear when sending it to Imperia Panorama where they would be well guarded until finding those who would occupy the place of the others Arcobalenos. Scáthach by her feminine intuition, arrives until Tsuna behind sitting and making him rest on her lap.
The night killer rests on Snow with his head resting on the thighs of his Second Servant causing him to blush and the beautiful red-eyed woman smiles pleased to make him blush. She knew him well enough to anticipate he needed to rest and cool his rage for a few moments, to use this to think clearly and not impulsively. Semiramis kneels to near her hand to him and she begins to heal with Sun Flames the wounds he got during the long combat, especially because he was more wounded in Ionioi Hetairoi by protecting them all.
The orange gaze watched the sky from which the rays of the sun began to appear. Tsuna knows that the chances of winning are very few, especially for one detail... he does not want to kill the opponents Masters. Ruler is still under the control of Daemon Spade, he knows Saber of Black, Archer of Red and Berserker of Black still have Hidden Skills, Berserker of Red will recover all the Lives he has lost and Lancer of Red is the most complicated opponent.
Meditate finding it will be difficult, he on his own could win using Dark Hole if he was going to face them alone, but Daemon Spade owns Night of Flames with which he could escape and he does not want to risk that Spade flee to Another Dimension, nor wants to kill the Masters, especially his sister. He has to find a way to free Ruler, especially because the body is of Laeticia and if Ruler dies now that her Connection with the Grail has disappeared, the risk that Laeticia dies is high because of the great amount of damage she could get in the future battle.
Taking into account every detail, he realized that they would lose, Reborn and the rest got too much information through this fight and Frost Canvas would not work with them again that they would surely have a measure against it.
Taking into account the capabilities that his side has, he finds it is not enough. Tsuna finds it ironic the hard way is where he does not have to kill when he would long ago have wanted such an optionfuring his work with Vindice. On the other hand, he himself acknowledges Fortuna Rebirth does not make him invincible and is difficult to handle... awakening his Personal Magecraft does not mean he can control it perfectly to know it right and the other way around.
To his others versions that awoke Fortuna it took years to learn to control a significant part of its powers and does not have the time for it. There is also no way to forgive Luviagelita's actions and it seems in the Letter explains the Arbitrators accepted her request. To have chances to win, there is only one alternative.
"There's a problem..." Tsuna says calmly before turning his gaze to his First Servant. She turns off her Sun Flames. "There's no way to win. Unless we use our last resort. There is still something capable of improving the range of probability." he takes the hand of the depraved Queen who corresponds the gesture.
"In the end the hate lies in the beauty... your moment has finally arrived." Semiramis quickly understands what her Master is saying. "I thought you said it would be too flashy," she says with a nostalgic smile. "At this point, it's our Ace and best chance," Noir admits ironically.
"I guess you're right. If our adversaries take advantage of the time, I don't see anything wrong we do the same thing." Assassin of Black agrees with the orange-eyed boy.
"All right, at least we already have an idea where to start," they can feel Tsuna's emotional state suddenly improved.
"Then it is better to start at once," the Queen of Assyria concludes with an enthusiastic smile. "Well, in that case I will send you to University. Lancer and Caster will stay with me to resolve our pending issue. Rosemary, takes Xian Long with Shamal, looks for nothing weird happens and takes care of things." he soon creates a Warp Hole big enough for Luna and the others to cross without problems.
"I'll see Evelyn's condition." Luna's words draw a smile from him, giving him an expression of gratitude. Without another word, Semiramis crosses with the others and the Noir Dolls the Warp Hole that closes immediately.
The Fox Servant watches the creator of Fortuna. She felt confused and intrigued by his actions. "Why did you want me to stay? Assassin of Black and Rider of Red would have been more help," Caster says bitterly, knowing she is the weakest Servant on Tsuna's side.
"Assassin has something important to do and Rider is Luna's Servant, not mine... the reason I wanted you to stay is because you will be in charge of eliminating Caster of Red." the Ex-Vindice indicates the new mission of his Third Servant.
"You want me to eliminate Caster of Red?" She asks questioningly. It's no secret that the Assassin and Caster Class are the weakest Servants, although Assassin of Black has greatly improved her abilities over the last three years, Tamamo feels a bit down.
"I have never considered a Servant as a weak person regardless of the Class, I can say that each one has different Skills that are better for different situations," the Craftsman of the night walks a few steps and stops where he can feel the weak Pulse of the Leylines.
"In practical terms, of you three Lancer is the most qualified for direct combat and strengh, Assassin the most dangerous as well as Versatile and you who has the greatest potential," Tsuna says surprising the girl with pink hair.
"If it were not for the Grail System Restrictions, you would be the most powerful Servant of this War. If not for that, it is likely you and Hakuno would have won from the start." Tsuna admits watching her and showing lack of doubt in his eyes. He is not saying he is incapable of overcoming it, if he used Dark Hole he could win, although she would be as fast as the light... he does not really know the result if she had all her power and he with Fortuna to fullness... a Battle of Speeds with unknown result.
He smiles warmly at her. He remembers the Third Future, when Caster decided to help him and Semiramis, the sadness he felt when Caster of Black died, but remembering the Promise to look after Hakuno instead. She had been the starting point for his relationship with Hakuno.
"You are strong. The proof of this is simple, you were invoked by Hakuno," the golden eyes of the girl with tail and fox ears are widened by surprise.
"Even with your restrained Power, you managed to protect her... she was saved thanks to you." Noir finished his speech before kneeling and placing his hand on the floor without seeing the blush on the cheeks of Caster of Black. The World seemed to freeze in time for a second at the same time the March of a Clock was heard that seemed to have receded only once... it's the Power of Time Device.
Both of them could feel the energy of the Leylines being restored at the same time Tsuna exhausted a considerable amount of his power. Thanks to the battle against Iskandar, Tsuna learned over his Abilities, especially Origin and Endlessly, this last Skill is the one that allowed him to turn back the time of the Leylines restoring its power and this was possible when using the Sky Pacifier and its Link with the Tri-Ni-Sette.
"It is better to start walking, the sooner we finish, the faster we can return. Unlike Assassin and you, Lancer is still alive." Scáthach blushes slightly. She is happy because Tsuna cares about her.
"I'll be fine, I'm just a little hungry. That is all." she seeks to reassure her Master. The Warrior Queen anticipates it is useless to lie to him. The truth is that she does not like to lie or hide things, something derived from having kept secret about the Three Futures where Tsuna was involved. It is pleasant to her to be of importance to Tsuna and evidence of it is the small smile impossible to hide.
Caster of Black smiles when feeling lucky to have Tsuna as Master. She loves Hakuno, but she likes her Contract with Tsuna, he makes her feel useful and needy... something in him makes her want to follow him and face whatever she wants. She feels a deep admiration for him and the willingness he is for those he loves, everything he has done so far for Assassin and able to love regardless of whether they are humans, Servants or Familiars. Tamamo feels her heart beat a little faster to feel comforted and happy to know Tsuna relies on her. However she soon realizes something.
"How do you know so much about me?" The fox girl asks to catch up with her Master and Lancer of Black walking along at the same time, noticing the naturalness and comfort that they both felt together... something in her urged her to want to go to same pace and not stay behind.
"Before all this disaster, Assassin and I had plotted many Plans. Originally we wanted to take control of the Black Faction, only that we did not have opportunity to achieve it," Noir confesses without guilt surprising his two Servants.
"From the beginning we had researched everything about the other Servants and Masters. The truth is that the Lancer is the only would have come to help me, especially with the Master she had originally." the beautiful purple-haired woman smiles giving the reason to the killer.
"I admit that woman did me a favor by killing him. Bazdilot Cordelion knew that I wanted Tsuna from the beginning as my Master. Reason for which he despaired... I suppose he could not take it any longer when I intervened to help you on the night that your identity was discovered." it's the Queen from Land of Shadows' argument making him blush. He had never known Scáthach had wanted him to be her Master from the beginning.
"I see," the twin of the night whispers with a tiny smile and his cheeks flushed. "Good, let's hurry up... the faster we do it, the sooner we can return to everyone!" Caster comments excitedly wanting to see Hakuno as soon as possible.
"What you really mean is: the sooner I'll see Hakuno," the fox girl giggles, blushing as she finds herself trapped by Lancer. Neither Tsuna nor Scáthach contained a slight laugh at how easy it was to read Tamamo when it came to something related to Hakuno Kishinami.
Tokyo Dome; 09:39 hrs.
Anxiety is the feeling that stands out above others for Luviagelita Edelfelt at the moment. Betraying her team was a difficult decision, she knew the consequences of her actions. The reason she did it is simple: Tsuna Von Veckenschtein was planning to kill his opponents, something he could not afford. Byakuran-san told her that Sky Arcobaleno would become a Target to eliminate.
Vindice would fight for him, the Mage's Association would want to kill him or capture him seeking to find out or snatch his power, something impossible, the Mafia would use this opportunity to try to eliminate Vindice... a chaos in its entirety and most importantly; Tsuna Von Veckenschtein would never be free if he cut the Bonds with his past. For Byakuran-san the well-being of his new friend involves him retaining his Bonds with the Past, Present and Future being what makes him never forget himself.
Contacting Lord El Melloi II had been easy, she explained to the Magus the Plan of Noir to end the War and his power. Regardless of the casualties he suffered, he will win. In part her betrayal was because she did not want Tohsaka and the others died, in turn she had a desire to face him in a one-on-one fight. Luvia knows it is impossible to defeat the Craftsman of the Silent Arts, so she left a Letter with Lord El Melloi II to hand her over to the killer.
In the Letter she indicated her actions and obtaining the Permit of the Administrators of the Grail War to face him without Punishment for either of them to fight after the War was suspended. She summoned him to this place for a fight. The doubt was about who on the side of Noir survived and the Servant he would bring to face Caster of Red. She knows perfectly well that Caster has no chance against Assassin or Lancer in battle, but he still has Talents that could make him win if the adversary goes down the guard. In everything it is almost better to prepare to face the Night's rage.
That's when she sees him approaching and does not come alone. Noir and Lancer of Black wore slight injuries, but nothing serious. He noticed the whole place was covered in grass and bases, surely there was some Baseball event before the whole catastrophe. Thinking about that Sport puts him in a bad mood by remembering the stupid Takeshi Yamamoto.
"I thought you would come using some Space Skill to get here," Edewlfelt says, holding in her right hand a Folding Chair. "Actually things came to a standstill almost an hour ago. It took time because before we came, we went for something to entertain the hunger," he confesses without guilty seeing the Magus of blonde hair to be surprised.
"Do you mean that you made me wait longer than necessary?" She then sees, his eyes made a mockery of her. "We lost more than thirty Dolls, the rest of us are fine if you ask." Luvia is surprised because she had expected to hear he had some drop in his group, but it was not. She underestimated him and is likely to have Abilities that even Byakuran-san doesn't know.
Tsuna brings out a Clock Hand, identical to the one used as a Weapon during the last battle. This is a sign to Luvia that he would kill her. The next thing is to be disbelieved to see him nail this weapon out of nowhere on the ground. He begins to take off his Coat which he places on the Clock Needle. He begins to remove his Black Gloves that have been very damaged. From above falls a figure in front of Luviagelita, is on its knees and when it rises, is revealed is none other than Genkishi.
"Do you want to interfere?" Noir asks the newcomer. Genkishi points his hands towards his Swords. "Okay, Genkishi-san. This is something I want to do, please." the user of Mist Flames only obeys his Boss, but Tsuna smiles as the swordsman gives in to Edelfelt's request.
"What I don't know is if you're going to face me or will Lancer of Black do it, or do you both plan to do it at the same time?" The blonde Magus questioned with some mockery. "Caster is not here and Lancer will not find it if she stays here." both Master and Servant have checked Byakuran's influence on her.
"You need to worry more about yourself and less about your Servant. As for your question, I will be your only opponent." the pair of Gloves are cremated in Tsuna's hand very easily.
"I recommend you use all your Power. Regarding your Servant, it is a matter for later," he indicates beginning to advance and Genkishi takes distance allowing both Masters to face. "You will use Fortuna to face me?" Luvia sees him smile at the question.
"I don't need Fortuna to beat someone like you," he says, earning Luviagelita's anger, who shows it in her face. The killer's words were the last thing said before she went into battle. The floor where she stood was filled with cracks by force. At an impressive speed she reaches him who takes a step backward while leaning back slightly avoiding the blow of Edelfelt's Weapon.
The University Tokyo Hospital; 09:53 hrs.
Shamal sighs, leaning against the wall and folding his arms. Byakuran had sent Genkishi not only to protect Edelfelt, but to ascertain the situation of the Battle. As soon as Tsuna began his march towards Tokyo Dome on foot, Genkishi took advantage and came to report and take orders from his Boss. Now Byakuran has related the events. Which explains why Rosso was in a bad mood, the Noir Dolls been in stand by, Rosemary bringing Xian Long... anyway, a whole headache.
"Are you worried?" The pervert doctor tries to find out. "Luvia-chan ruined it. I thought she meant that she would sort things out by trying to reason with him, not complicate things to such an extent," the albino sighs.
"Well, we cannot do anything, just prepare to treat their wounds when they return." the two have no doubt that Tsuna did not kill Luvia, they know enough to know the Sky Arcobaleno considers already has been too much blood spilled for this War. It is definitive that Luviagelita Edelfelt was out of the War today.
Even if she continues to participate, the side of Tsuna has no way to win, however the presence of her would generate mistrust and the inability to work together... it was also her decision to face Tsuna, she will have to pay the consequences even for Boss Millefiore's relief will not be with the life of her.
"Changing the subject, how's the little baby?" Sky Mare asks. "Just a little dehydrated and tired. In one day she will be well enough to be discharged." the Hitman of Trident Mosquitoes is not happy about it. He is happy that the girl recovered quickly, but this bitter because Tsuna had to resort to Criticism Shot to save her. That girl got Flames of Night and the sad thing is that she has a Genetic Disease that causes her to have a weak condition and is likely to die in a few years.
"That's good news, but you don't look very animated." Byakuran notes noting the seriousness in the Hitman. "It's just that I feel sorry for children who have to go through something like that. But it also reminds me of Tsuna is what he give of himself to make others happy... I have no doubt he could do something for the little one now that their paths have crossed." the Boss Millefiore smiles with regret.
"In many Different Worlds, I have seen Tsu-chan move for the sake of others, he will cross heaven or hell all to see the smiles of those he loves," Byakuran mentions nostalgically.
"He always breaks the limits... even if I am his enemy, it is painful to see how far he can go even if no one thanks him... maybe that's why when I was his enemy I did not stop hating him and it's because deep down I always wanted someone like him to save me. It's funny how we saved each other and killed each other... well, I could never kill him in any world after the first time he killed me." the sad, teasing and melancholic smile showed how much all that affected him.
"Tsu-chan can be terrifying more than anyone when he is triggered by hatred. Sometimes I learn it firsthand." Gesso mentions it with a joking tone but the pervert doctor distinguishes it is really truth what he says.
"I doubt if any female version of you stays with him," the doubt of Shamal causes bewilderment in him. The albino smiles mischievously.
"That's very personal, Shamal-kun. I am almost considering you are proposing to me, but in this World I'm not interested or attracted by men." Byakuran says in a joking but serious way and does not stop to laugh at seeing the face of mortification of the doctor of the 666 Lethal Diseases by implication of his sexual preferences.
Tokyo Dome; 10:01 hrs.
Since the ground, Luviagelita seeks to rejoin. She does it with difficulty after the blows she has received. Genkishi found why his boss's ally told Luviagelita-sama he not to use Fortuna to defeat her. She is the kind of person rooted in honor unable to use something she considers a coward. She was in a deplorable state, her clothes seriously damaged, bruises and scratches covering her body. Luvia breathes heavily holding her side.
Luviagelita Edelfelt found in Noir the worst opponent she could haveh. He was someone who could read her with such easily, no attempt to hurt it has worked and the worst part is that all the damage she has received is not due to any blow of Noir... the worst thing is that he has not hit her, at least directly. The killer has used the force and power of itself against her, dodging and making herself hit the place being this because everything was full of craters and debris.
The swordsman was impressed because Luviagelita-sama has remained in that state even if Noir has not hit her, understand that he does not like to hit women unless they are enemies... that meant that Noir was not going to kill her which brought relief in Genkishi.
"Your hand..." the abandoned twin says as if nothing and Luvia heeded what he comments. She sees the back of her own hand and discovers to her disbelief her Command Spells have disappeared.
"I said that Caster of Red would be dealt with, but I never specified Lancer would be the one to eliminate him. I chose Caster of Black to be the one who would destroy your Servant, Lancer is very cautious and she would never let me go on my own, so I had to bring her." the Craftsman of the night explains before reaching the blonde hair Magus.
"This is over," he pronounced, touching her forehead with his index finger. As soon as she is touched, she passes by the side of him and falls to the ground being unconscious. He only had to use Fantasia to make her sleep knowing that even without Servant she would want to fight, which he can not allow or break the Rules and Vindice would seek to eliminate her... pride can often be the doom of whoever.
"Take her and retire. You must take her to where Shamal." the Ex-Vindice suggests the Swordsman who approaches Edelfelt to whom he carries with care.
"To think that I would see Byakuran Gesso's number one fanboy take care of someone other than him... it really surprises me." the creator of Fortuna comments jokingly, earning a dark look from the green-eyed man.
"You should not be surprised, on the way you said you were not going to kill her because she was the future wife of Byakuran Gesso and she has gained the approval of Genkishi," the three turn to the entrance and see the fox girl arrive. The named warrior is surprised by the deductions that Noir has obtained and reluctantly admits he is right. The reason he has accepted Luviagelita Edelfelt as the possible wife of his Boss is because she made him happy... it is the first time he has seen his Boss so comfortable and happy with someone.
"I thank you for not killing her, Noir." Tsuna and his two Servants see the seriousness and firmness in gratitude. "I don't know what will happen as a result of the War, which will come later. Your duty will be to take care of them two... even if you're not a Funeral Wreath, you are the most loyal person in Byakuran's side... feel proud of it, Genkishi." the swordsman is surprised but he smiles.
"I appreciate your words. I withdraw." what Genkishi just said was true. He has always been jealous of not being a Funeral Wreath, someone inferior to Torikabuto when he was chosen in his instead for such a prestigious place. He knows the killer enough to know that he is not lying and that makes him feel better.
With some luck it could be this young woman whom he would protect for the good of his Boss being she the happiness of Byakuran Gesso... yes, protecting the happiness of his Boss was a better job instead of being a Funeral Wreath.
...
The trio see the warrior go to take the Magus so that her wounds can be healed. "That was very nice of you," Tamamo says with a smile to her Master. The killer finishes of recovers his Coat and putting it on. It is when the golden-eyed Servant finishes giving the compliment that he unearths his Improvised Weapon.
"Can be. Although I was limited enough not to cause her a serious injury." The Clock Hand disappears as if it never existed. Both Servants know that a blow from Tsuna can be lethal, Caster of Black has very present the memory of him piercing the chest of Mukuro Rokudo with great facility.
"Are you okay, Caster?, Did you have a problem?" The golden-eyed girl smiles, touched by his concern. "It was easy thanks to the information you gave me." the twin of the night nods feeling more calm to know she was not hurt.
"I see, I'm glad you're okay." because he decided to send Caster to eliminate the Servant of Luviagelita is simple, it's because of the Skill that Tamamo possesses. He did not lie when he said without the restrictions imposed by the Grail System she would be the most powerful Servant of this War, but although the Parameters of Tamamo are low, she can improve them as she gets to eliminate enemy Servants.
The Jiang Shi did not serve to improve the Capacities of Caster, of the contrary she long ago would have become a Servant of First Category. With this she has improved her Parameters, because of the hard tests, the battles she has had to survive, all this has given her experience that has helped push her Skills have succeeded by eliminate the Famous writer.
"What will happen now?" The Queen of Land of Shadows asks, unable to not notice the differences that this might entail to what she has seen... were entering unknown terrain. Tsuna can feel the fear in Scáthach, a fear of the unknown. A fear that he himself feels and knows Semiramis felt when she learned that they had yet to fight and to recognize everything was against them.
"I don't know, but I can assure you, I feel just like you." Noir admits without embarrassment. "I don't understand. Why did they decide on a three-day deadline?, They could let it all end today. Instead we have been placed in a precarious situation." the beautiful red-eyed woman argues between frustrated and worried.
"Maybe I have an idea, but it's quite complicated... you could say they found the solution to everything at our expense." Caster being in her life Counselor and Consultant, she could easily give an idea of what her Master has deduced.
Tamamo can recognize and feel in Tsuna-san and Lancer the doubt, the fear and uncertainty. However she smiles because even with the possibility of dying, not to see Hakuno after the War, to forget her, she has been saved... Hakuno will live at the end of the War. Tamamo No Mae retains hope. Along with Hakuno, Tsuna-san is the most special person she has ever met in this life, in this World. She takes the hand of her Master making him fix his affection on her.
"No matter what we have to face, I'm sure we will, Rider said that together we are invincible and I feel the same... I'm sure we will overcome everything," she sees Tsuna-san is surprised.
"I can assure you will, you win. I know because I have the best Master that can come to exist." Noir blushes impressed by the optimism of Caster of Black. The Sky Arcobaleno smiles unable to erase the blush on his face.
"I thought those words were just for Kishinami." Tamamo blushes, looking at him firmly. "They are words to whom I consider special and apart from Hakuno, for me you are special." he blushes more than before. Caster blushes and holds more strongly the hand of her Master.
"Let's stop wasting time and go with the others, Hakuno is waiting for us. she makes her way at a rapid pace without letting go of the killer's hand from the night. Lancer is surprised by the words of her allied Servant.
The beautiful Queen carried by her jealousy wants Caster to let go of her Master's hand, but her thoughts are cut instantly when she feels her hand is taken and feel something pulls from her hand... Lancer soon finds out Tsuna has taken her hand with a soft smile for her showing that he had recovered some hope.
Scáthach clings to his hand with a smile, letting herself be carried along with Tsuna by the enthusiasm of Tamamo who has returned some hope for both of them. As their hands are united feel the words of the girl with golden eyes become more real... yes, all together are invincible and will be able to see a sunrise after the War.
Omake: a time break.
The University Tokyo Hospital; 00:32 hrs.
Things had been exhausting shortly after returning. Talking to Fiore, Hakuno and the others what happened in the battle of hours ago, checking Evelyn's situation, apologizing to Vincent for being unable to save him, talking to Byakuran and Basil about his suspicions and Adelheid, discussing matters with Shamal regarding Xian Long. Check if everything was ok as far as his Familiars... it was a rather busy day.
It's late at night and Luna wants to talk to him. Something that has taken time to do with everything that happened during the course of the day and needs to do it as soon as possible. At the moment Rosemary will be watching Xian Long and Byakuran and Genkishi will be aware of what happens... is the opportune moment to take a short break.
...
The Room 27 had a good light, just as she allowed him to see the small object in her hands. "I told you I'd get it, would not I?" Her red eyes see the haughty woman with her peculiar yellow-gray eyes watching her. She had already anticipated having to endure the petulance of depraved Servant, but what she got was worth the price.
"I did not imagine you would do it so fast, I admit I underestimated you." Lancer of Black confesses slightly impressed. Assassin recharges herself on the wall by crossing her arms.
"It would have been easier for you to ask Tsuna. Don't be confused, in fact I was more favorable because thanks to this you are forced to recognize my greatness." the Queen of Assyria expresses between joking and arrogant. Scáthach's attention was on the Rain Pacifier in her hands. She knows perfectly well that Tsuna would never have refused to give him this object if she asked him, but she asked the Assassin of Black precisely to avoid him knowing about his decision to be his Arcobaleno Rain.
She thought she lost him forever when Tsuna fired Criticism Shot, at which point she understood she did not want to be away from him. Even if she reached the Throne of Heroes and remembered him, she would be far from him forever, but with this she could see him again after death. Semiramis knows what her comrade Servant Plans, it was something ridiculous, but she has chosen to let it be, for now there are more important things to solve first, at least Tsuna already has his three Arcobalenos, although this leaves three Vacant Places.
Luna sitting on the bed, watching her companions Arcobaleno. Watching Mei who was in her Human Form covered the white sheets and Salakief in her First Form eats a Peach. Rosso thinks Lancer is being ridiculous not to tell Tsuna what she plans on, but she anticipated things would be resolved later. For now Rider wants to be on the lookout for Evelyn, that was fine, after all the Paladin was happy that they could protect at least that little girl.
The door opens and through it enters Noir. Immediately the Warrior Queen hides Rain Pacifier and she has activated it a few minutes back when Assassin delivered the Object to her. The killer is surprised to see them four in the same place, but he does not see it as something bad, but nothing unexpected.
"At the end you arrive." being in a good mood Assassin of Black comments to her Master. "I'm sorry, I lost track of time talking to Fiore." none of them considered that as a bad thing, the young Yggdmillennia was the only person outside the Mafia who comforted him. For Fiore, Tsuna is not only a killer, he is a great person.
"Listen to you say that, it makes me feel jealous... very, very jealous," the depraved Queen says with a malicious grin advancing towards her Master wagging her hips provocatively making him blush.
"W-ell, I..." he tries to say, but the long-haired woman surrounds his neck gently giving a slight laugh. "I'm not mad at you, but you'll have to make me feel better," the Sky Arcobaleno smiles, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I know," he replies before noticing any other unusual thing about the Bureau next to the Bed. "And those Bottles?" the Craftsman of the night asks, identifying all those bottles of High-Quality Wine.
"I got your favorite kitten to get them. There is no one who claims them and it would be a waste to leave them abandoned in a Ruined City." he concludes that basically the Wine is stolen... by now it does not matter, he will let it go by this time.
"What are you planning?" Tsuna asks, looking up at his beloved Queen. "I just thought it would be a good idea to celebrate you have managed to wake Fortuna... although it is debatable because the War is not over, at least we are still alive." the others are looking at each other and soon smile at giving her the reason.
The Four Arcobalenos present have the Memories of the Three Futures. Drinking Wine and chatting were something they did on rare occasions. At some point that became a kind of contest to drink and give confessions... something that became intimate at some point. This was the first time that the four of them would drink together without anyone missing for dying in the War... the first time they drank during the War.
None ended up drunk, Scáthach for her Rain Flames the effect of alcohol was very weak, Luna diluted it quickly thanks to Storm Flames, Semiramis was a great drinker and her body was quickly recovered by Sun Flames and himself by the high power of Sky Flame and Flame of Night easily eliminated alcohol and its effects on his System. None would end up drunk, but it would help to relieve the tensions a little and to forget for a moment that the War is not yet finished. It is likely Mei wants to join them just like Salakief.
"With all that happened, I don't see why not." the words of Lancer of Black are enough for everyone to agree... in short, it will be a long night.
Okay, this is the end of the chapter, we are getting closer to the end. Heng Wu has been eliminated, the Chinese Triads destroyed, Caster of Red annihilated and Luvia out of competition. The war is not over and the three-day deadline will be explained in the next chapter. For now I leave the extension of the Tsuna's Abilities, Familiars, Weapons and others, as well as a last update on the Servants.
Killer Instinct: The impulse that seeks and guarantees the survival and elimination of everything that is considered a threat to his well-being. Is the counterpart of Vongola Intuition as it is driven by its own well-being and is stronger as Tsuna is closer to own death being much more precise but requiring a time of reaction for its full use without dying in the process... the talent to see beyond everything around him.
At the same time the process of thinking, perception of time and analysis is faster and superior... is comparable to cold and fast thinking where the emotions that trigger the desire and need to live improve the Capabilities of Killer Instinct and its effectiveness to find the right way to survive under various circumstances and kill what threatens personal safety... Tsuna the closer he is to die, Killer Instinct allows him to know more about himself and his own limits.
Fortuna Rebirth: is the Magecraft born of the combination of Deathperation Flames and Prana. Can be considered as a completely different level that surpasses the power of both powers. The only one that Fortuna can use is Tsuna by requiring the combination and Balance of Sky Flame and Flame of Night, as well as the Zero Point Breakthrought effect to condense both energies to avoid overflowing.
The Effects and Abilities of each Flame can be combined bringing a New Effect. The Fortuna's Abilities surpasses and gives greater versatility compared to natural Flames. Now having access to all its power and being the Sky Arcobaleno, Fortuna Rebirth is a powerful power that surpasses the True Magics.
-Veniality: is the absolute power of Space and allows Tsuna to move at Dimensional Level. Unlike Flame of Night, it's faster and doesn't need the creation of Portals like Warp Hole so that Tsuna can move at a Spatial Level. The defect comes in not being able to move parts of his body, only the whole body... besides can move Distant Objects into his gaze. Its power makes possible attacks can damage Dimensional Level.
Because it is the Eighth Element, the World cannot reform to avoid the effects of Veniality whose ability can even open Portals to Other Worlds and Different Dimensions. To cross Dimensions and Worlds is impossible being that the body of any would be destroyed by the Alterations that exist between the Worlds and Realities.
-Gravity: Total Manipulation of the surrounding gravity. Unlike Earth Flame, Gravity allows greater Control to the degree of altering Polarity and Attraction and its power is not necessarily stronger when manifested in the body of the user and it don't need to create Spheres of Gravity. Now that Fortuna is complete, Tsuna can able to Alter Gravity around him or in a Remote Area either by raising or reducing it. Can Repel or Retain a limited amount of objectives, as well as to facilitate his Mobility in the moments that are convenient.
-Origin: was born from Endlessly and Gravity. Using Oath Flame as a base, Origin was born whose ability emulates Oath Flame, but to a higher level because it restores the body instantly. Not only Bones, even Destroyed Organs, Arteries, Cartilage, Tendons, etc. Origin restored the body and avoid being destroyed... it was as if the Time of his body was a World that is restored by retrogressing in the Time.
Is such the Origin Quality that would allow Tsuna to move through Dimensions and Worlds without side effects or his body and soul being destroyed or affected by Dimensional Distortion as compared to the Byakuran attempt that brought Ghost as a result... Tsuna couldn't be rejected by the Worlds and their respective Systems avoiding to cause some damage in the Reality and Existence like a Paradox... this power can be used to known and alter the origin of various existences.
-Endlessly: Born of Sky Flames and Magecraft. Has the power of Adaptability and Synchronization allowing to combine the diverse Fortuna's Abilities to create new Abilities able to alter Time, Space, Dimension, Plane and Reality. A comparison of Sky Flames... its manifestation is not based on creation of fire, but on the alteration and modification of Time. An example of it is the creation of Familiars using as base or point of reference some living being and even object... this allows the Familiars created of living beings or Organic Matter to acquire Abilities and a Human Form besides the original one that they had in a beginning.
The Ability Endlessly is the absolute power to manipulate Time without the complication that the World and its essence are affected by which the World doesn't try to reform it being that it is not something unnatural being the essence of the same death that drives the energy of the Dying Will Flames. However its use requires an excessive amount of Prana and Flames and references of Time and Place limiting too much its use over Time but being more used to enhance other Abilities and Creation of these... its complete potential is unknown yet.
-Acceleratio (Acceleration): The power of Activation is surpassed by Acceleratio that not only accelerates the Cellular Activity, but also the Speed and Time of Reaction on a scale greater than the Sun Flame to the degree of regenerate wounds almost instantly. However in low levels causes high tension in the body that becomes pain... this power is more focused on speed. This Magecraft can be used in Objects.
-Rivière (River): This Ability allows the Flow of attacks and movements of the user, also has the quality of weakening effects of all kinds, slow the movements of those around, as well as greater control in the flow of Prana and Flames as well as currents in a river. With its liberated potential, can now control Water and its various ways.
Now Fortuna is complete and can use Rivière to a much higher level capable of creating a Field of Effect that can even paralyze any Corporal Actions of those around him, the power to stop their Motor Functions and Vital Organs... cause death. Yet it is a Skill that Tsuna will never use when he has close Allies into the Range.
-La Résistance (The Resistance): This power is derived from Lightning Flame, its specialty comes in raising the Resistance of the body or objects, it can also create electricity that raises the response of the body in various forms and gives a high resistance to electricity approaching a little Electricco Cuoio. It also enhances rapid thinking and response... has recently gained the Capacity to give Solidity to the Intangible.
-Disaster: Created from Storm Flame, has the Power to weaken and damage everything it touches, including effects of some Power or Ability, in turn can damage the Cells of its victims causing recovery is much slower... most the cases the victim dies after receiving a fatal injury provoked by Disaster. One of its effects is that Tsuna's attacks do more damage more easily.
-Shinryaku (Invasion): Replication Capability. As such, it's suitable for anything that involves increasing the size and Multiplication of Numbers of any Object... even is able to replicate Objects created by high Thaumaturgy although with a cost of Prana and Flames elevated depending on the Rank and Level... the more Rare and Unique the Materials the greater the difficulty and Fortuna it's hard to copy something created within the Holy or Demonic Category.
Its Invasion effect allows the manifestation and amplification of the Abilities of Fortuna and even is able to alter and affect Skills that imply Creation or Manipulation of Areas being highly advantageous when the enemy realizes Techniques that involve a great area, such as to Create a Cyclone or a Field of force impermeable and can even alter to a certain extent the Reality Marbles.
-Traum (Dream): the power of Illusions is much stronger than Mist Flames. It is the Deformation of the Environment that can easily be confused with the Reality being extremely difficult to recognize if it is an Illusion or if the World is changing... if not careful even the World can believe what is shown by Traum is real.
-Arktisch (Arctic): the power of the cold and its multiple forms. It can be considered as an Enhancer to elevate Blackout's destructive power to levels previously incapable of being reached. Compared to Blackout, Arktisch focuses more on destroying and damaging being his most violent power... its coldness can freeze at the Cellular Level and even reach the Absolute Zero.
-Vitalità (Vitality): unlike all the Different Abilities between each of the Deathperation Flames, Vitalità possesses greater improvement. It makes possible the control of everything that involves Vegetation making this a very Versatile and useful Skill.
-Fantasia (Phantasy): Fantasia's Ability is different from Traum. Traum focuses on Illusions that affect the Environment while Fantasia affects the perception of its victims. It is very difficult to perceive the effects of Fantasia being too subtle and can cause those affected to believe what Tsuna wants... in combination with Endlessly can Destroy and Break the Minds confusing them and making it difficult to know the difference between Reality and Fantasy.
-Snizhenuye (Decadence): can Deteriorate everything that comes in contact with this power. In comparison to Disaster, the effect is more damaging by focusing on Distort the environment of something within the Category: Place or World... even Corrupt and Deform everything it touch, especially Fields of Force, Personal Dimensions, Reality Marble, to name a few examples.
-Tractatio (Manipulation): the talent to know, alter and control the nature of the Materials that come within his range of vision and Tsuna comes to know throughout his existence. The derivation born of Mountain Flame becomes a Tactical Ability and Knowledge for the use of Matter of all kinds... allows to find and to discover the weaknesses of any Material Existence or Environment.
-Skapande (Creation): its potential is driven by Tractatio. Mixing this Skill with Tractatio it is possible to create different Objects to provide of Multiple Utilities within Category: Material, even can be given the birth of New Materials using what is within reach of the Knowledge Acquired.
-Blackout: Ability for perfect and absolute control over freezing power. Can be formed from the heat in the Environment or from the energy around him. Doesn't need direct contact to operate, has the Ability to seal just like Zero Point Breakthrought. This Ice can't be melted or destroyed unless it is Tsuna who wants it or faces a power or strenght of high power.
The enemy energy used for Blackout provides new energy for Tsuna... he can get Deathperation Flames or Prana depending on the energy where it is derived. Even has the capacity to create weak explosions that form a small haze that blinds the enemy depending on the energy used.
-False Paradise/Imperia Panorama, Clockwork Prison: A World?, A Reality Marble?, the most accurate way to describe what it is would be: A Distant Different Dimension. The False Paradise created by the Sacrifice of Uni Giglio Nero was used as a basis to create this Dimension through a process close to that of a Reality Marble. A Place whose Manifestation means the Alteration or Destruction of the World.
A complex place, a River, Wind, Flowers, Trees, Grass, Broken Chains, Ruins of a Prison and Old Constructions. On the horizon a Sun at same time Stained Glass Windows in the black and blue Sky looking like an attempt of the day and the night to live together. The face of a Clock with several hands turning in both directions and some hands stopped... all this is the reflection of a Broken World that remind the ancient stories of a Strange World.
The Machine Work without stopping just like the World itself does... it was the perfect combination of desolate ruins emulating Cemetery, History, Death, Life, Rebirth, Tragedy and Beauty... something that at some point was The Promised Land called Paradise.
Using the Seven Elements of the Rainbow has created this far-away place impossible to reach for anyone who is not one of Tsuna Von Veckenschtein's Arcobalenos. This Existence is linked to the World, Tri-Ni-Sette and Tsuna. It comes to form a Chain that protects the Tri-Ni-Sette Policy, the Soul of the Arcobalenos, Tsuna's Familiars and the Balance of the World being this place the final destiny of the Last Arcobalenos and Familiars after their deaths.
However, this also happens to be a Personal Dimension for the Arcobalenos in which you can send, save or take Objects or Items... Imperia Panorama cannot manifest itself in the World and instead creates a replica that replicates a small part of the Distant Dimension when Tsuna uses his power like Sky Arcobaleno being this the Complex Distorted Clock or its Components being a more direct representation of the power of Fortuna Rebirth of Physical Form.
-Dying Will Flames/Deathperation Flames: Shinuki no Hono, Dying Will Flames or Deathperation Flame. They are described as a Form of Energy of High Density and refined by the Life Force of each living being. It is according to the emotions that each person possesses, its Battle Aura differs. Compared to the Aura, this is a Phenomenon that only very few acquire, it becomes the Willpower of each person manifesting in these Flames, the will we possess even beyond death. Each Deathperation Flame is unique and possesses its own destructive Abilities and Powers.
Deathperation Flames are categorized by their Purity according to the feelings and goals of each, in turn they are divided in Flames of Sky or Flames of Earth respectively of both categories there are Seven... the Eighth Element: Flames of Night is the strongest of all being the main power of Vindice. Tsuna has access to the Fifteen Dying Will Flames and being driven by Prana its potential reaches unimaginable scales being one of the Basis for the creation of Fortuna.
Techniques:
-Warp Hole: is a Technique in which, through the use of the Flame of Night, the user can create a Portal to Another Location. The Portal can also be given a Gravitational Ability (reminiscent of a Black Hole) to be used to forcibly draw something inside.
-Empower: with this power is able to lend his allies Flame Energy. If the Vindice don't get Flame Energy from him, they cannot use their Abilities, they're tired and have difficulty breathing... this talent has been improved to the extent of being able to delay even Deadly Diseases by compacting and modifying its use.
-Short Warp: Tsuna can use his Teleportation Abilities to instantly Warp Short Distances. This Technique is used to move behind enemies or dodge their attacks. He can Short Warp even part of his body in this way he can attack from different directions or hit a Target outside his Attack Range.
-Spedd of Light Warp Hole: is a Technique used by Bermuda Von Veckenschtein in which the user creates a circle of Warp Holes and travels through them multiple times. Once his acceleration reaches the Speed of Light, the user creates a Warp Hole above his enemy to propel himself at them at light speed to crush them... Tsuna has recently perfected and improved this Technique where he creates Multiple Warp Holes at various points making it more complicated to stop or anticipate where the Final Attack will come from.
-Corruption: it is a Technique derived from Veniality and its Space Power. Can corrupt the Fire of any Type of Dying Will Flame according to Tsuna's wishes.
-Petrification: Endlessly Ability to turn Stone to whatever it is and once the Target becomes Stone, its body becomes Dust... equal to the Passage of Time that is said to take everything to be Dust as it was at first.
-Graveyard dei Sospiri: Absolute Execution Technique capable of killing every enemy within the Zone. Attacks and Seals those within the Range being impossible to escape... it is only possible to use it in Closed Places.
-Frost Canvas: with the Crows of Salakief flying over a Zone can altered the Weather with Fortuna by means of the Abilities; Shinryako, Blackout, Arktisch and Endlessly. He can alter the climate with Shinryako's Ability by expanding on the place the effect of freezing power of Arktisch creating Snow with the properties of Blackout to Cancel much of the Dying Will Flames of those who are in its range
This Technique was very advantageous, it had its defects because it occupied a great amount of Prana and Flames at the same time required the aid of Salakief in Form of Ravens to spread and to Alter the Climate. This is an effective Limiting Field created by Shinryako against Flames users, but those of Prana are not affected except by the cold... one of the additional advantages is to affect the mobility of the enemy because of the frigidity caused by the cold.
-Death Theater, Night of Execution: The use and creation of Automatons; Noir Doll. Summons Fifty Noir Dolls to fight in the Battlefield as each Automata has Killing Abilities comparable to the original. Each Noir Doll is distinguished among the others by a Poker Card in the base of its Hat... each Card is the identification of each Doll, the two Joker Dolls being with some Special Ability and this can vary depending on what Tsuna decided to create them.
-Frostcraft: The unique capacity to create Weapons or Ice Objects. The Versatility of this Technique lies in its Multiple Uses according to the circumstances presented. It is possible to imbue Effects of the multiple Deathperation Flames in whatever is created by Frostcraft.
-Nightcraft: It's the creation of everything related to Silent Arts like Strings, Scissors, Blades, Chains and other Objects used by Tsuna as Tools to kill. Between everything that can be used as a Weapon enter the Distorted Clock's Parts such as its Hands, Gears, etc. These Items can have the characteristics of some Fortuna's Ability making it something of High Versatility.
-Time Device: Endlessly allows Absolute Time Control. However, in combination with Origin and Veniality; Time Device is the Ability to Manipulate Time and various Points in a more precise way being more specific to change an event or effect without altering the World or damage its Structure... an example of this is to restore the Point of origin of what he want to recover and as Sky Arcobaleno has the power to Alter and Restore including the Balance of the World... its true potential is unknown yet.
The use of this power manifests itself in the Presence of the Replica of Imperia Panorama's Distorted Clock or more commonly hear the Strident Noise of the Clock Hands to move in some way...
-Gravity World: the Final Level of Absolute Control over gravity. The Abilities; Endlessly and Veniality in conjunction with Gravity being the main force, it can manipulate gravity to a more precise degree without having to modify the Environment... this capacity is much finer, accurate, complex and powerful allowing even to alter gravity in Targets selectively without affecting others or Control and Distort the Environment and its elements... a power that can be used at any time and any circumstance without the need to create a Limited Field.
-Dark Hole: rips the Reality and drags the enemie to a Dark Dimension created by Tsuna and nothing can escape before the manifestations of the innumerable Dimensional Breakdowns... being there is the end to die and being destroyed whoever and whatever is due to the multiple Dimensional Distortion that shatters its victims for the Unstable Existence between all the Dimensions in one place.
-Finale Blackwaltz: the Power to overcome the Speed of Light. It is the Final Attack that allows Tsuna to move faster than the Light. The Veniality and Endlessly Skills allow to overcome the Speed of Light bringing the possibility as an additional Effect the Skill: Petrification, getting to start its Effect on the wounds inflicted on the enemies. The defect comes in that the friction and speed destroy the body of Tsuna internally, but with Origin this is no longer a problem... Finale Blackwaltz allows to damage and destroy whatever it is no matter what it is... it's possible to overcome even more the Speed of Light as the control over this Power improves.
-Paradigm Distortion: the power of this Technique is the Alteration and Modification of an existence such as Dimension, Reality, Limited Field or that created by Endlessly as the Familiars. It can be said is the possibility of changing a World... its true limit is still unknown... although it is said to be comparable to the creation of the origin of a World.
Familiars: creatures created by the power of Endlessly using as base a living being that was to the Doors of Death without importing the Species as long as it is something of Organic Matter... it is possible to create Familiars using Inorganic Matter as base, but they will be more weak. The Familiars get to acquire Special and Unique Skills coming to vary according to their Personal Characteristics.
The Familiars have a Deep Connection with Tsuna and vice versa so they will always know the situation of their owner and same time Tsuna will know what happens to them... The Familiars can only die if Tsuna dies, but can be injured. For the creation it requires a Special Ritual, now with Fortuna awake, said Ritual is no longer required and instead Time Device with Endlessly is used to create them... Familiars are not affected by Illusions and are immune to Magecraft and Deathperation Flames.
-Salakief: the First Familiar of Tsuna. A Raven that was saved by Tsuna after he escaped from Vendicare to explore the exterior of the Prison. She was his first friend and by whom he began to challenge the Limits. Salakief is the most versatile Familiar coming to possess Four Forms. Salakief's Personal Skills vary according to the Form she is... Space Manipulation is the Main Power that she possesses in any of her Forms... her favorite food is the Peaches.
First Form – Original Form: it has the appearance of a Raven whose eyes are red like ruby. She can Multiply pretending to be a Flock of Crows and through her eyes Tsuna can see and hear what she does. You can also use some Fortuna Abilities to alter and create Limited Fields or Modify the Weather to some degree... although its main function is Observation and Espionage.
Second Form – Human Form: she takes on the appearance of a sixteen-year-old girl, one-piece summer white dress, red eyes, fair skin, a well proportioned figure and long black hair tying much of this in two pigtails with blue ribbons being a gift from her owner and friend. In this Form she possesses Human Capacities as well as for combat... she does not like to use this Form unless it is in the presence of Tsuna.
Third Form - Hunter: a Gigantic Raven whose talent stands out to be able to use Flames of Sky inside the Rank B. she has rarely used this Form being more its use for Aerial Battles.
Fourth Form - Devastation: a Black Dragon of the European Type that seems to have part of his body covered with black and gray feathers. Two pairs of Wings seem to be made of Feathers and Scales being the two upper white wings and the lower black wings. The head emulated a mixture of Dragon and Raven with two red eyes like rubies. In this Form she can use various Capacities having access to Fortuna Rebirth and its Abilities... this is the Most Powerful and Destructive Form possessed by Salakief her Attacks arrive at several according to the needs required in the occasion.
-Rosemary: the strongest of the Tsuna's Familiars, she only possesses her Human Form and a Bloodthirsty Nature. A Maid with long blue hair and clearer eyes... a seventeen-year-old girl with a sweet smile, kind and helpful with a deep hatred towards humans. Rosemary has control over the land and life in it as the Flora. She can turn any Area into a Limited Field where she has Full Control... the Field can be spreaded and even with her power she can destroy an entire City with ease. The Second Family has access to the Fortuna's Skills that involve the Environment and imbue its Effects on the Plants she manifests.
-Mei: the Familiar female cat. She had been abandoned with her brothers in a Cardboard Box being the only one not to be adopted by anyone until one day was found by Tsuna who took her as his Pet and years later she was about to die, was saved by him becoming his Familiar. Mei has unusual Talents, she cannot be detected and has a Skill similar to Warp Hole that allows her to enter and exit wherever she is and being impossible to catch and is the most intelligent of the Tsuna's Familiars. She can open with her power any type of Lock and attracts Great Luck... remarkable features of her is to always be able to find what she seeks and the ease of helping Tsuna to control the Noir Dolls and coordinate the actions between her master and her companions Familiars at the same time... the most outstanding of Mei is her laziness and her obsession for Tsuna.
Second Form: her human appearance is that of a eighteen-year-old girl with long blue platinum-plated hair with the cat's ears that make it seem is her style of hairstyle being difficult say are really her ears and light red eyes like cherry. Her body is better proportioned than that of her friends Familiars. Unlike Salakief and Rosemary, she does not own clothes by taking her Human Form and it is Tsuna who always lends some of his clothes to cover her. This form provides her with Human Capacities although she preserves the hearing and smell of a cat... in this form Mei can use Fortuna Skills to confuse the enemies in a subtle way according to what she seeks or if she wants, to kill them without letting them escape... it could be said that she has talent as a assassin, the problem is that she is a lazy person.
-Evelyn: she is Tsuna's Fourth Familiar and the First Human Familiar. It's the little girl that Tsuna saved during the Sixth Holy Grail War. A baby with a Hereditary Illness that condemned her to die years later without any cure. She at the age of fourteen pleads with Tsuna to turn her into his Familiar to be with him and the Boss Vindice accepts her request. Currently a baby but years later a sweet and beautiful girl with black hair, green eyes and thin figure with talent for drawing... her Skills are still unknown.
Objects and Weapons:
Special Grenade: hese Grenades possess within them some of the Flames of the Sky condensed in its interior to a certain extent. Depending on the situation will use the most compatible Grenade for a satisfactory solution.
Chains of Vindice: Chains that have some of Fortuna's Capabilities. Each Chain will be used according to the situation and objective of Tsuna.
Pistols: Common Guns occupied by Tsuna for his battles. It lack some Special Ability, however like many weapons, can be used for the use of some Ability of Fortuna.
Cards: Poker Cards used as throwing weapons possessing the effects of Disaster and La Résistance to drill and kill Targets with great ease.
Noir Dolls: Automatons of human size and appearance... their way of moving and acting is very realistic, making them believe they are human. The Noir Dolls are created under the same principle as the Doll Ginger Bread, the difference being that they emulate being an imitation of the Killer Vindice; Noir, when he was working as a Jailer. In comparison to Ginger Bread, the Noir Dolls are controlled by Tsuna and in some cases by Mei being like an extension of the body since through the Automata they can interact to get to see and to hear through them... a high degree of concentration is needed so it is difficult to handle many at the same time the Controller is in combat. Their Combat Skills are comparable to the original and the Noir Dolls can be Modified according to the needs... some of them can be administered with Deathperation Flames for the Battle.
Autumn (Black Rifle/Musket): the weapon of execution. This Rifle was Tsuna's First Weapon... his Personal Weapon. Its appearance is a combination between Rifle and Musket, the outstanding thing about this Weapon is that despite its appearance, it can cut and perforate as if it were a Sword. Its Bullets are created by the power of Shinryaku in turn mixing some of the Fortuna Skills and their Effects. What makes Autumn special is to be Tsuna's best weapon for any Type of Fight... Tsuna has only used it when he has had very high-level kill Targets. Now he has created copies of Autumn for the use of the Noir Dolls... he refuses to use this weapon unless it is with a powerful opponent that forces him to fight with everything himself.
Discord: A special 50-gauge Revolver that occupies as Munition Dying Will Bullets or 50-caliber Bullets used to kill enemies or huge, heavy creatures because of its high destructive power... as the killer Vindice his work is not just limited to capture or assassinate criminals in the Mafia, but to end any threat that might harm his World whether human or not.
Sky Pacifier: These Pacifiers, along with the Vongola Rings and the Mare Rings, make up the Tri-Ni-Sette, Three Sets of extremely powerful Rings that are said to have created the World. This Pacifier is the evidence that evidences Tsuna as one of the I Prescelti Sette. The Arcobaleno Pacifiers' Power is the Ability to Exist as points in Space and Time.
The Sky Pacifier allows Tsuna as Sky Arcobaleno to Modify and Alter the Existence of everything related to him, such as Familiars, Places and Dimensions. Being the Sky Arcobaleno he can restore the Balance of the World and its Vitality through Fortuna Rebirth without the need to sacrifice his life or his Arcobalenos.
Clear Pacifier: the old Pacifier of Bermuda. In the past there were only seven Arcobaleno officially, however the Clear Pacifier became Tsuna property after the death of Bermuda, as well as being the Balance Point to complete Stability in the Arcobaleno System and allow Imperia Panorama was completed. The Power of the Clear Pacifier is comparable to that of the other Seven Pacifiers but being the Key to mark the Existential Continuity of the various Worlds, Planes and Dimensions existing in this Universe.
Bandages: like a Vindice, Tsuna was forced to wear Bandages to cover his face and hands with the purpose of hiding his identity. Rarely Bandages are used as a Weapon or Tool... everything depends on his ingenuity.
Coat: a Worn Black Coat, but the bottom edge of the Coat seemed to be like Black Feathers. Tsuna's Personal Coat has a high Endurance and Resilience to battle as it is reinforced with La Résistance, Endlessly and Veniality for a better result... it can be considered as a Protection and a Portal to a Personal Dimension to store Objects, Weapons and Items.

Noble Phantasm: B
Class Skills:
-Territory Creation: C; is the skill to build a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Because it seems that her personality is not suited for it, Tamamo no Mae has difficulty in manufacturing even a Workshop allowing her to create minor Amulets and other types of low-level talismans.
Personal skills:
-Witchcraft: EX; that Caster uses is all physical phenomena performed with her own body. While common Magecraft is a program that "recomposes what exists around", Witchcraft is a program that "recomposes the raw materials in one's own body." It is related to Dakini Heavenly Methods, and includes Methods to discern one's time of death, secret arts to obtain influence, Methods to attain status and Fortune (for men) and methods to gain the favor of influential individuals (for women). Due to a number of very harsh lessons impressed upon her in the past, Tamano no Mae no longer makes use of her still formidable Skills in these areas. There are Secret Arts to obtain power - such as methods to acquire social Status and Fortunes (for men), or methods to acquire the favor of influential individuals (for women) - and methods to sense the time of death. However, maybe due having severely learned from experience in the past, she does not feel like using this very much.
-Shapeshift: A; skill that allows her to borrow people's appearance and changing to their appearance, however she does not feel like making much of using this skill due to a trauma of the past that has resulted in her death. It is said that she is equivalent to China's thousand year old Huli jing. Daji is a Huli jing from the Shang Zhou Revolutionary Period, she is more well known with in the Fengshen Yanyi Chinese novel. Daji also possesses this Skill and the Ability is somehow identified with Tamamo-no-Mae.
Noble Phantasm:
Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu on the Weight Stone under the Sunlit Watery Heavens (Suiten Nikkō Amaterasu Yano Shizu-Ishi)
Rank: D
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 3-30
Maximum number of targets: Up to 100 people
She is capable of fighting close range combat with her mirror. The mirror levitates around Caster in battle, and she uses it to hit enemies in close combat. The Mirror is a symbol for sun and water, for life and death. It is a blessing of energy or blessed energy. There are other forms of this Noble Phantasm but this particular form fits her best. It doesn't have value as a single strike but is excellent in a long engagement.
Is a Mirror that Tamamo-no-Mae wears on her body. It is the temporarily released form of the Weight Stone of Tamamo (Tamamo no Shizu-Ishi), a sacred regalia among sacred regalia, which was enshrined at Izumo after being brought from heaven by "Takehinateru no Mikoto." According to the descriptions of the Nihon Shoki, it was taken from Izumo at the order of the Imperial Court and then later enshrined at Kawachi. It possibly later came to be known as the Yata no Kagami, the divine repository of Amaterasu, and it is thought to be the prototype of the To-Kusa no Kan-Dakara ("Ten Kinds of Sacred Treasures") of the Mononobe Clan, which holds the power to Revitalize Souls and Life-Force.
The Mirror levitates around Caster in battle, which she uses it to hit enemies in close combat. She doesn't use this Noble Phantasm much, but once its function as a Noble Phantasm is activated, she summons a circle of levitating Ofuda surrounded by a number of glowing Torii, charges the Mirror with Energy, and stands in the middle of the circle to draw in the Energy. The Energy drawn in allows her to use her curses without the need to expend any Magical Energy for a Limited Time, comparable to performing as if she has an Infinite Magical Energy supply. This is because the costs of using the curses are set to zero. It is normally a Divine Treasure of the Land of the Dead that can even bring the deceased back to life, done by deploying boundaries that can isolate the principles active in the World of the Dead, but the Servant form of Caster hasn't been granted the Authority to use that much power. Its Rank as a Noble Phantasm is D, an awfully Low Rank contrary to its original Rank, but that is because only a very small part of the Original Ability can be drawn out. Otherwise, it could have been an EX Ranked Anti-World Noble Phantasm that has the Range of covering a single country, and it could be used by Tamamo-no-Mae only while in her nine-tailed form.
And here comes this. Although it seems Tsuna has to win with all he can do with Fortuna, do not forget that it is a very powerful Magecraft that just he just woke up. In the World of Public Enemy, Tsuna took years to master it and did not achieve it completely, but for the most part. I am not writing all the Techniques of Tsuna because it would never end, for now only the most outstanding and being only a small glance. I'll try to upload the next chapter in less time ... well, now I say goodbye.
