Chapter XXVIII- Insanity
(AUTHOR'S POV)
"Save the world?" Tsuna gasped.
"Is too hard for you to relate to something so grand-scale, huh?" Reborn looked at Tsuna.
"You just don't need to worry about the world" Reborn continued.
"EH!" Irie reacted.
"Hmph, you guys just have to win this fight so you can return to the peaceful Namimori of the past" Reborn smirked.
"If you put it that way…" Tsuna and the others nodded.
"Everyone…" Tsuna looked at everybody.
"Let's go" Tsuna held his wrists up and his goal straight ahead.
Our Choice game will begin.
*NAMIMORI SHIRNE*
The Vongola team climbed the stairs to the Namimori Shrine.
"11:50, looks like we made it in time" Irie looked at his watch.
And then they arrived.
"Ah? What is this?" Tsuna focused his eyes at the tent in front of them.
"A festival float?" Haru wondered.
"FESTIVAL!? YIPEE! LAMBO-SAN LOVES FESTIVALS!" Lambo cheered.
"Wait! Don't get too close! It might be a Millefiore trap!" Gokudera said.
"Oh, sorry about that! I forgot to tell you that this will be our base unit; I moved it out here this morning beforehand and also your bikes are stored inside" Irie explained.
"HAHI! So this is what you two were building this whole time" Haru smiled.
"Amazing!" Kyoko was in awe.
"Something about it doesn't feel right" Gokudera muttered.
"Eh?" Irie looked at Gokudera confused.
"It had better not be just a piece of junk when we look inside" Gokudera criticized.
"We did everything we could" Irie sweat dropped.
"Hmm? Where do the missiles and rockets shoot from?" Ryohei asked.
"Actually, we stripped this unit of every function deemed unpractical" Irie answered.
"Shoichi and I handpicked the newest machines to install inside" Spanner continued.
"I see! So it looks dirty on the outside but loaded in the inside" Ryohei said.
Tsuna then felt uneasy and worried.
"What's the matter, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked.
"I was wondering if Yamamoto, Danica-san and Hibari-san were here yet" Tsuna answered.
"HIBARI-SAN! DANICA-SAN! YAMAMOTO!" Tsuna shouted continuously.
But still no sight of them.
"What are those guys doing?! It's the day of the battle!" Ryohei was getting impatient.
"It couldn't be that they don't intend to show…" Gianinni suggested.
"Eh? Danica-chan?" Haru and Kyoko gasped.
Then from Tsuna's headphones, Reborn's holographic image appeared.
"It's also possible that they failed their training" Reborn pointed out.
"I-It'll be fine! I'm sure they'll come! Besides the Millefiore aren't here yet." Basil assured Tsuna.
*!*
"Ah! Dying will flames are closing in at an incredible speed" Spanner looked at his computer.
"It's odd; it's already at our position…." Suddenly it became dark.
"ABOVE!" Spanner looked up.
"Storm Clouds?" Basil gasped
A beam of light then spotlighted them.
"Hey there, fellas!" A voice was heard.
"AH! What is that!?" Tsuna panicked at the big, talking Byakuran-head above them.
"You look to be doing well, Tsunayoshi-kun" Byakuran smiled.
"EH! Byakuran!?" Tsuna panicked again.
"Byakuran's a giant!?" Ryohei gasped.
"MONSTER!" Lambo cried.
"He's like cotton candy!" Kyoko said.
"Unbelievable!" Haru gawked.
"Is it an illusion?" Gokudera asked.
"I don't think so" Chrome answered.
"There's a metallic reading; It's a giant apparatus" Spanner analyzed the data.
"Calm down, everyone! That's like a blimp in the shape of a face! It's certainly possible with the Millefiore's technology" Irie shouted.
"AH! This is beyond the Mafia!" Tsuna bent down his head panicking.
"A~re~re? I said to bring everyone with you; some people are missing" Byakuran said.
"Oh well, it will be all of you who'll suffer at crunch time" Byakuran continued.
"Byakuran-san! You're the one who's broken the rules! That apparatus is too big for a base unit in Choice!" Irie shouted.
"You haven't gotten over your habit of jumping into conclusions, Sho-chan" Byakuran smiled.
"This is just a new method of transportation that was just completed and besides you've already seen it before" Byakuran explained.
"This machine will take all of you to the stage where Choice will happen; The Flame Ring Transportation System" Byakuran continued.
"Which means that the battle won't be in Namimori" Reborn said.
"Yep, you got that right! But as you know, this device isn't easy to activate; it also serves the role of testing if you are qualified to participate in today's Choice" Byakuran told them.
"Qualified to participate?" Tsuna asked.
"In other words, 5 Million Fiamma Volts; we need that much flame pressure to transport you to the stage of Choice" Byakuran answered.
"5 million fiamma volts!?" Irie gasped.
"That's twenty times the maximum power of the X BURNER" Spanner added.
"A ridiculous amount of flame pressure is still necessary to use this transportation system; I'd say that it is reasonable to expect you to provide the flames yourselves. You could also say that it's a ticket for participating in Choice" Byakuran expounded.
"No way! That's so unfair!" Fuuta protested.
"It won't be easy to prepare enough flames for twenty X-BURNERs!" Gianinni joined in.
"Just simply produce flames without any barriers and the device will pick them up" Byakuran assured them.
"Oh I don't mean to scare you or anything, but if you fail, I'll be so disappointed that I'll have to take your town…." Byakuran's right eye suddenly took up light.
"And do this to it" Byakuran's right eyes then releases a laser beam to a mountain which caused its destruction.
Everyone gasped by the sight of the mountain destroyed by that just thin beam of light.
"Oh, sorry about that! My face just slipped" Byakuran's face rotated in a circle.
"This is crazy" Tsuna thought.
"He certainly has what it takes to rule this world through fear" Reborn stated.
[ 00,000,000 FV ]
"Now start pushing out flames quick, there's only little time left before noon, the scheduled time; time will be up when the light from my face disappears" Byakuran reminded them.
"The light is fading fast!" Tsuna gasped.
"What's wrong? You scared?" Byakuran asked Tsuna.
"That's because…. We're still missing people" Tsuna answered.
"Eh? I'm glad that you respect the rules but it still sound likes an excuse for not being able to produce 5 Million Fiamma Volts" Byakuran smiled as the light is disappearing fast.
"I'm sure… I'm sure that they'll be here!" Tsuna said.
"But you're out of time" Byakuran told him the reality.
"NO! They'll come!" Tsuna persisted.
TWO FLAMES SUDDENLY APPEARED FROM BOTH SIDES!
"What are you people doing?" It's Hibari!
"Yo, sorry to keep you waiting!" It's Yamamoto!
"Both of them came! Where's Danica-san!?" Tsuna asked.
"I'm right here, Tsuna" Tsuna felt a pat on his shoulder.
"GAH! HOW DID YOU…!?" Tsuna jumped.
"Eh? You got startled by that? I was just merely testing my stealth skills" I chuckled.
"JUUDAIME!" "SAWADA" "BOSS" The three guardians called for Tsuna's attention.
"O-kay! Let's do it!" Tsuna readied his box and ring.
"Vongola Box! Open!" Tsuna shouted.
And everyone did the same.
It then released a massive beam to the device.
"Hmm? What is this?" Byakuran's face then disappears and shows the device.
"That's the Flame Ring Transportation System" Irie was astonished.
"Shoichi! Look at the reading!" Spanner pointed.
[ 10,000,000 FV ]
"Ten Million Fiamma Volts!?" Irie gasped.
Reborn then smirks.
"So I wasn't mistaken that I brought them into this world, they are the only light that can stand up against Byakuran-san!" Irie said.
"The young 10th generation Vongola Family and the 10th generation Ravino boss, Danica Ravino"
The young bunch stood in the circle with their box animals out.
"Man, you guys are late" Gokudera complained.
"Hehe, sorry" Yamamoto smiled.
"Onee-san's Alicia (A Rain-attributed dolphin) took time to recover my wounds and fatigue from this morning's ruckus" (Reference: Last part of Chapter 27) Danica sweat dropped.
"I am here only for my personal reasons, it's got nothing to do with you" Hibari coldly said.
"Same old Kyo-kun, I see" Danica sighed.
"But Sawada, how'd you know they would come?" Ryohei asked.
"No…" Tsuna answered in his Hyper Dying Will Mode.
"All I knew was that we needed everyone together or we couldn't defeat Byakuran" Tsuna continued.
Reborn smirked upon hearing Tsuna's statement.
"Good, over 5 Million Volts, you pass" Byakuran's face appeared again.
"Then let's get down to starting Choice; the first choice will be the selection of the battlefield" Byakuran said as he released a line-up of many cards.
"On account of your wonderful flames, I'll yield the choice of battlefield to your side that's because Choice is game of choices; now draw a card, Tsunayoshi-kun" Byakuran smiled.
"But the cards were made by the enemy" Gianinni pointed out.
"Don't worry! Choice is the one occasion where Byakuran-san will never cheat" Irie said.
Everyone puts their faith and trust into Tsuna.
"It's time to do this Tsuna-kun" Danica gave a thumbs-up.
"Okay, I'll make my choice" Tsuna then picks a card.
[ { Z } ]
"The battlefield card is Lightning; now let's go" The light suddenly engulfs everyone on the Namimori Shrine and were levitating.
"What is this?" Yamamoto asked.
"My body is floating on its own" Gianinni panicked
"It's okay, don't panic!" Irie tries to calm down Gianinni.
"LAMBO-SAN'S FLYING!" Lambo trembled in fear.
"Damn! What the hell!" Gokudera was surprised.
"Hmph" While Hibari is staying calm as always.
"Show off" Danica circled her eyes as she just sat on her box weapon.
Lupo Luna (Wolf Moon).
(DANICA'S POV)
It's finally beginning, right Yue?
Still no answer from him, I see.
I never got to talk to him after that time at the lighthouse…
My mind's so hazy about that time.
"AHHHH!!" Kyoko and Haru screamed as we were still being lifted up in the air.
We were then engulfed by a bright light and then fell to the ground.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE)
"Ah! Is everybody okay?" Tsuna asked everyone.
"Yes" Bianchii answered.
"Is anyone hurt?" Tsuna asked again.
"Yes, somehow; though I feel I lost a few years off my life" Gianinni wiped off his sweat.
"We're also fine over here!" Basil raised his hand.
"Looks like everyone here made it in one piece" Reborn said.
"Boss, there's something buried here" Chrome looked at a strange black bush.
"Chrome, that's Lambo" Tsuna sweat dropped.
"EH!" Chrome gasped.
"IT HURTS!" Lambo cried and was then held by Chrome.
"OH! I dropped my lollipop!" Lambo cried harder.
"It's okay Lambo, here" Fuuta gave candy to the crying cow.
"Akan-bo, I think there's still an unidentified object here" Hibari pointed at a very disturbing figure that has its face slammed into the ground.
o-^i
"It pretty much looks like one, Hibari" Reborn smirked.
"THAT'S TOO CRUEL REBORN-CHAN!" Danica gets up.
*BANG*
(DANICA'S POV)
"How many times do I have to tell you not to address me as –chan" Reborn blew out the smoke from the gun.
"HAI! HAI! Kyo-kun, you're attitude didn't change even just one bit!" I pouted.
"At least I got a hundred percent stronger than a red-marked face herbivore like you" Hibari smirked.
Damn you, Hibari!
"Juudaime! We really burned up a large amount of flame in the process; Uri returned to his box" Gokudera told Tsuna.
"So did mine" Yamamoto said.
"Garyuu too!" Ryohei exclaims.
"You're right, Yue went back to his box too" I raised my box.
Hibari looked at his box too.
"Mukuro" Chrome did the same.
"So this place is?" Tsuna and the others stood up.
"Ya~ Welcome to the Choice Arena" A familiar voice was heard hidden behind the clad of smoke.
"Byakuran….WHAT!" Tsuna gasped as the clad of smoke disappears.
"We're in the middle of a bunch of Skyscrapers!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"It feels like we've met for several times but this is the first time you've met me in person, Tsunayoshi-kun" Byakuran and The Real Six Funeral Wreaths are in sight.
Byakuran. He's the real thing. I'm shaking. I'm really shaking. His eyes…..His eyes…
Choice has started, I myself can't stop myself from shaking,
"Luce Estelle"
What was that!?
"Luce Estelle"
Who's there!?
I can't concentrate on what was happening that I started to slap myself when I came into, Irie was trying to convince everyone about the choice rules.
What the hell just happened? What was that?
"Danica-chan, are you alright?" Kyoko asked.
"Yes, I'm fine, um Bianchiican you me up on the details?" Danica looks at Haru.
"But Danica-chan, are you really okay?" Haru asked me.
"Yes, I'm fine" I smiled.
"Just tell us, if you're not feeling good" Bianchi told me.
Bianchii told me about what happened when I was…not myself.
Choice Rules, Participants and the roulette and that it came to a point where the others will not fight thus this argument.
"You'll have to bear with it this time" Irie told everyone who was complaining that they were not chosen to participate.
"The other side is also bound to these conditions; that's how Choice works. Besides the gyro roulette gave us a pretty favorable result, the other side is down one person and Byakuran-san can't participate" Irie pointed out.
"You think I'm going to accept that reasoning?"Hibari asked.
"Argh, Kyo-kun just had to protest" I sighed.
"I'm going to participate" Hibari insisted.
"Wait! You just can't decide that…" Irie panicked as Hibari raises his tonfas.
"Hold on, Kyoya" And now who could that be?
"Man, you're so hopeless" Dino smiled.
"Thank God, Dino-kun's here" I smiled.
"Dino-san! When did you.." Tsuna gasped.
"I snuck in during the warp, I've been here the whole time" Dino answered.
"I NEVER NOTICED!" Tsuna thought.
"Of course I'm Kyoya's tutor, of course I'd come. Think about it Kyoya, if Tsuna and the others defeat The Millefiore, you can freely fight with whomever you want" Dino said.
Hibari looked at Tsuna and Reborn.
"Just suck it up for now, okay?" Dino smiled.
"Hmph, make it quick" Hibari said.
"DINO-SAN'S GOTTEN GOOD AT PERSUADING HIBARI-SAN!" Tsuna gasped.
"Nice!" I gave a thumbs-up.
Byakuran continues by choosing his members.
"And now the target for the Vongola is Sho-chan and the Millefiore's target is Daisy" Byakuran announced.
These targets are going to be the main pieces that would determine the outcome of this game sadly I can't participate because I wasn't chosen.
"Now I'll introduce the neutral referees" Byakuran said.
Two girls then fell out of the sky.
"Aren't you guys, Cervello!?" Gokudera shouted.
"I heard from Shoichi that they ended up with the Millefiore at some point; who are you people?" Reborn looked at the two girls.
"We are from the Millefiore Cervello Agency" "Nothing more, Nothing less" The two girls said simultaneously.
"Don't give me that crap!" Gokudera protested.
"You guys are referees from the enemy! How can we trust you!?" I asked.
"Don't worry; these girls would be fair judges" Byakuran looked at me and it brought back the chills from awhile ago.
"Besides aren't you the ones cheating?" Byakuran said.
"I must praise you for concealing 99.99% of your presence but we can still sense the remaining 0.01% from the base unit" Kikyo smiled.
And then out came Squalo from the base unit.
"Tch" Squalo scowled.
"If Squalo's here then Onee-san's is here right?" I asked.
"Hmph, that idiot went back to her beloved, damned boss of ours" Squalo gnawed his teeth.
"Squalo, thanks for coming" Tsuna said.
"Don't be ridiculous, you stupid brat!" Squalo shouted.
"I snuck in here to crash the party, that's all! I'll split you in half if you give me any crap" Squalo revealed.
"You too, Hologram of Reborn; there is no non-trinisette policy over here, it's safe for you to leave your base unit" Byakuran smiled.
"I see" The hologram of Reborn disappeared.
"That's pretty considerate of you, Byakuran" Reborn went out of the base unit.
"The participants for this choice battle should enter their base units now" Cervello 1 announced.
"The bases will be teleported to a random position on the battlefield" Cervello 2 continued.
"A spectator area has been prepared for the members who aren't participating; you will need to stay there until Choice is over; Spectators are not also allowed to communicate with the participants" Cervello 2 added.
"Furthermore, the spectator area is completely shielded by a barrier but any attack against the area would be considered a violation and result to an automatic lost" Cervello 1 continued.
"This means, you guys can relax on fighting!" I cheered to Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera, of course to Spanner and Irie too.
"Well then you have three minutes to prepare" The Cervello women announced.
"Three minutes, you can do it guys!" I smiled.
As we then prepared ourselves to be teleported to the spectator's area, Byakuran was looking at me.
Before they were teleported, he uttered….
"Bye Bye, Danica-chan"
As we arrived the spectator's area, I was shaking.
Why am I shaking? I can't move my body.
Suddenly everything became pitch black.
"What's happening!?" I shouted.
I then felt something dripping on my hands.
BLOOD!
I then felt something underneath my feet.
BODIES.
"EH!" I started to tremble; my eyes were wide open that I can't close them.
"Danica Luce Estelle Ravino…." I heard a voice.
"Who are you…?" I trembled.
"Luce Estelle …." It's getting closer.
"HUH! You…are…" I was then staring at myself but her eyes were pitch black, her flames were pitch black, her clothes drenched in blood.
"Luce Estelle"
Luce Estelle…what the hell was that?
"Luce Estelle…." My eyes were slowly closing in…
Byakuran's voice keeps on echoing on my mind.
"Bye Bye…Bye...Bye...Bye…Bye...Bye Bye"
Is this what he meant by going insane?
"Luce Estelle" I whispered while the other me took hold of my neck.
I'm going insane.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Oh no! I feel like I made such a crappy mystery and suspense spice here? What do you guys think? ARGH! I don't know what to do! Oh well! Enlighten me with your reviews! BRING ME BACK TO THE LIGHT! HAHA!
Tell me if you don't like it! I'll think of another ingredient to spice things up! :D
REVIEWS ARE ACCEPTED AS PRESENTS FOR MY BIRTHDAY! ;)
Before I forget, I'd like to thank those who followed and added me in facebook :)
To Yue Moon: I'm sorry if Twilight was mentioned in the pre-chapters maybe that's because I was engrossed into Twilight that time. Don't worry, I'm not really interested in those vampire stories anymore, it became so much of a cliché after that time. Thanks for that review; I really can see that I should be better. ;)
