A/N: Timeline is going to be skewed, but this is an AU, so there isn't much to complain about. Onto the story!
Separate languages will be like this.
"Puppy," Nova murmured softly as she saw the flash of Storm Flames.
She was worried like the rest of them as those carnage boxes were seriously strong. Taking a deep breath and centering herself, Nova focused on Hayato's future and forced her power. Almost immediately, the images flooded her mind causing her to gasp softly. When they faded, Nova realized she was being held up by Tsuna. Shaking her head lightly to clear away the images, Nova looked at her little brother as he asked, "Nova?"
"The Puppy will succeed," Nova smiled lightly feeling a bit of pride and couldn't wait till they got back to inform Fon about how well his student did, "I promise you,"
Seeing those that would be fighting gain some courage, Nova felt a bit better despite how much her head hurt and the half truth she'd told. Thankfully, she wasn't even close to having an attack though that would change if she forced her sight more. Reaching into her satchel, Nova pulled out a headache relief potion and downed it as everyone focused on their part. She knew that they needed to keep their spirits up for the rest of the battle if they were going to win.
Nova felt Bel's Flames and focused on them to find the Varia there as well. Grinning brightly, Nova happily announced their arrival earning looks of shock. Tsuna grinned as well, "With their help, we will win even if we take a lot of damage."
Nodding as she hugged Reborn, Nova closed her eyes. Something was going to happen, Nova didn't know what though. A shudder ran down her spine and she grimaced. Someone was going to die, but who? Nova forced her Flames to behave while taking a deep breath. As explosions sounded in the distance, Nova hoped it wouldn't be any of their friends.
Nova stiffened as she felt it. The electrical tang that didn't belong to this version of the world. Swallowing as she tightened her grip on Reborn, her Sun turned to look at her in concern. Yuni had stiffened as well and looked towards Nova with a little panic in her eyes. Reborn spoke softly, "What's wrong?"
"He is here," Nova's voice was hoarse, "He who should not exist, but does. A soul tied to this plane for too long. He who has been cursed to walk the lands," Nova shuddered darkly, "The version I spoke of. He should have passed, but is held here for some reason," Nova placed Reborn down while covering her mouth, "I feel sick feeling him from this distance,"
Tsuna looked at her with worry even as Ryohei spoke of Ghost. Soon enough, Tsuna decided what to do and ordered, "Nova, keep everyone as safe as possible. Please."
Nova nodded her head, "I'll do my best. Don't die."
"We'll all go back home together," Tsuna promised her earning a wane smile before heading off.
Nova presses a hand to her chest as she felt the battle Tsuna was waging against Byakuran. Byakuran's Flames were powerful despite how wrong they felt to her. Even though they were not connected, Nova could feel herself getting a bit stronger just feeling them. Nova spoke softly, "Soon, the battle will be decided."
The group around her seemed to shiver at those chilling words.
Nova let's out a surprised gasp as the barrier formed around her and placed her hand against it only to flinch back by the static shocking her fingers. Yuni looked at her in surprise, "Why are you being taken as well?"
"For reasons that are best left unexplained," Nova grimaces softly as she realized that her time to explain things would be coming up soon.
Dropping to the ground as soon as the barrier disappeared, Nova looked to see Byakuran looking at her in surprise, "My, my, my aren't you full of surprises."
"Nova," Tsuna called out causing Nova to look at him, "Why'd you get called?"
Nova frowned softly, "Because I'm connected to the tri-ni-set as well. I can't explain it just yet as the conditions haven't been met. Only when they are met will I be able to explain."
Agony ripped through her as Tsuna's connection to her started to fizzle out and she screamed, "Tsuna!"
Her scream echoed through the air as a mix of some great beast and primal agony that caused those to hear it to clutch their ears in pain, Nova fell to the floor as her Flames lashed out. She whines softly as she heard an alarmed shout, "NOVA!"
"Please, Cub," She whines softly as her head turned to stare at Tsuna's motionless form, "Please don't leave me. We promised that we'd go back together,"
The connection froze, but only regained it's strength when Reborn began to speak. Nova's Flames relax and she realizes just how close she'd come to having an attack. It was then that she felt him approach. Turning, she glared at Byakuran while wiping the blood from her lips. Byakuran's eyes followed her hand and he comments, "You're far too attached to that brat."
"He's my baby brother," Nova's glare increased, "And he will defeat you,"
Byakuran let out a laugh and reached down. Nova flinched back, but couldn't move away fully as everything from the last few months caught up to her. Byakuran smirks as he grabs her chin and forces her to look into his eyes, "He will lose and you wi-"
Byakuran froze as his eyes widened and Nova grinned at him, "I. Will. Never. Be. Yours."
Suddenly whiteness filled her eyes, Nova groaned as it faded and felt pain across her face. Byakuran looked at her with pure unadulterated rage, "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"I did nothing," Nova spat at him, "We are not connected. The Nova you're connected to is weak and dying because of you,"
"No," Byakuran shook his head, "That isn't true,"
"It is," Nova grinned at him though she did feel a little bad for him.
A yelp left her as Byakuran grabbed her by the neck and she scrabbled against his hand, "Who are you and where is the real Nova? Where is my little one?!"
"Dying," Nova gasped out only to find it impossible to breath as Byakuran tightened his grip on her.
Tsuna grabbed his attention by standing up and Byakuran tossed her to the side, "I'll deal with you, impostor, as soon as I'm done with him."
Nova clutched her neck while breathing hard.
Hearing Yuni's words, Nova took out the Arcobaleno box and said, "Yuni, you're kindness is rare in this world."
"That box..." Yuni trailed off as she stared at the box even as she continues to feed her Life-Flame into the pacifiers.
Nova smiled at her, "While I maybe the Sky of the Arcobaleno, you are the Sky Arcobaleno."
With that said, Nova unleashed the box weapon and suddenly to area was filled with bright Sky Flames. A song resonates through the air as Nova's eyes closed and she felt warmth rush over her. Everyone cried out in shock as their injuries healed themselves as the Flames rushed over them. When everyone had been healed, the Flames condensed revealing a large orange Phoenix. The phoenix trilled at them before flying over to Yuni and rubbing it's cheek against hers. Byakuran gasped softly, "A phoenix?"
"The Sky Arcobaleno phoenix," Nova smiled sadly as she looked at Yuni, "It's a shame we never did find your Flame familiar, Yuni,"
"It's alright," Yuni smiled at her in return, "Thank you for this, Nova,"
Nova ignored the tears rushing down her cheeks as she watches Yuni in her final moments. She whispers softly under her breath, "I'm sorry you couldn't be saved, Yuni."
"We'll meet again," Yuni's eyes focus on her, "In the past and maybe we can be friends,"
Nova grinned at Yuni as her heart ached and the younger Skies Flames began to dim.
Nova's chest clenched as she watched Byakuran die and wished his spirit peace. Even if they weren't connected, the loss of a Sky was never easy. bowing her head as she was lowered gently to the ground. Nova murmured, "Too much death in this time."
