I accept any advice because I really want to improve my english and I know there are many mistakes, SORRY!
Thank you for reading ~


Target 24 - Eh?! Is there a new rival family?

Arashi: Where did he go? That damned one!
Kaito: Over here, over here!
Nozomi: I've lost sight of him, has he fallen into the sewers?
Luca: The sewers?! That sucks!
Haname: Come on, Luca, don't be disgusted! Let's go after him!
Shinji: ... why are we chasing a robber?
Kaito: Because he has destroyed the glass of a jewelry outside my house and he took everything...
Shinji: Yes, but ... shouldn't we leave him to the police?
Arashi: We are the ones protecting Namimori, so we need to take care of this.
Luca: Shinji is saying that we could take care of "bigger" problems.
Haname: If there are no powerful enemies at least we keep in training doing something like this.

Haname chuckles, watching Nozomi and Arashi dragging the thief out of the manhole.

Thief: Sorry, sorry! I just needed to eat!
Kaito: Eat my ass! Everyone know that you wanted to sell the jewels for an high prices.
Thief: No... please ... believe me! You fight to protect people, right? I ... I just need the money ... I don't have a job ...
Kaito: And why don't you find one?
Thief: Hey, it's not easy! Knight of Dreams, you're not able to understand this! You are just children!

The mist comes close to the group, scratching his head.

Shinji: I called the police, it's coming.
Haname: Well done Mist!
Kaito: Let's tie him like a gagged alpaca and then let's run for it.
Arashi: Leave it to me, I got some ropes. Sun, give me a hand to hold him.
Nozomi: Ok, it's almost half past midnight. Time for the last patrol and then we can go to bed because tomorrow we have school.
Luca: I agree with Sky, I'm quite tired.
Haname: All right. Light, Mist, come with me.
Luca & Shinji: Got it.
Nozomi: Perfect. Rain, if you have any problems please contact us. As soon as we go away from here we also are going to check on the north.
Luca: Okay, when we are going to meet?
Arashi: I think ... in 15 minutes outside the school, right?
Nozomi: That's fine, Storm. We'll meet outside the school, barring unforeseen circumstances!

The rain, along with lightning and mist, leaves the place to continue their patrol and the sky, the storm and the sun remain for another five minutes, until the police arrives on the spot.
Then they leave the thief to his fate and go away quickly, jumping on the roofs of the houses like cats.

Arashi: Tonight we were lucky, usually there are several spiteful persons at this time.
Kaito: Everything is more calm for a while, also my alpacas know that there's something weird.

The two quickly stop as soon as they realize that Nozomi is still staring at an indefinite point to her right.

Arashi: ... Sky? What's going on?
Kaito: Oh, I think the boss has perceived some opponents.

The storm watches carefully in that direction and gets close to her, together with the sun.

Arashi: Who are they...?
Nozomi: I have no idea ... there are three of them.
Kaito: I feel ... I feel flames.
Arashi: What a genius, we feel them too. Our senses are much more developed since last time ... we can also feel other people's flames.
Nozomi: Well, certainly they aren't earth flames.
Kaito: They're flames of the sky... there is a sun!
Arashi: A fucking sun, a lousy mist and a damn rain.

The sky advances in the direction of the flames, almost searching for them, even if Arashi is disappointed because she's worried about what might be ahead.
A gust of wind, coming from the opposite direction, collides with their speed and throws them back.

- Uhm Uhm, sooo cute. - a female voice comes from under a dark-blue cloak, it sounds childish and very acute.

Nozomi gets up immediately, followed by her two guardians, they attempt to distinguish the three figures, but in that dark and moonless night they aren't recognizable at all.

"... Who the hell ...?"

- Do you think they are frightened? See how they fell. - a male voice came from the tallest figure.
- I think that was because the impact. They don't seem very strong. - the figure of average height has a female and slightly high voice, they can distinguish her clear blue eyes in the darkness.

Nozomi: Who are you, what do you want?
- Uhnahaha, sooner or later you'll know. - says the woman with blue eyes.
Kaito: Hey, why not now? What do you want from us, are you enemies?
- Ohi ohi ohi, shall we go? For now there is nothing to do here. - the shrill voice resounds from the short figure, the other two dark presences seem to nod and vanish in the darkness, leaving many questions and a lot of confusion.


In that afternoon Fukada's house is quite crowded, especially in the Arashi's shooting range.
While the red-haired trains with her guns, realizing that her speed reaction is increased a lot compared to the week before, the Vongola fights Kaito with her bare hands, trying to keep trained also about the melee techniques that she learned as a child.

Haname: Look, she's having fun.
Luca: She spreads sunshine everywhere ... maybe Kaito infected her?

Luca is sitting next to Haname and Shinji, in a corner of the gym.

Haname: Nah, she's always like this. After all, I remember she's also a sun.
Shinji: Sun and Sky ... a mixture of positivity and vivacity ...
Haname: Not always, at least that's what she wants to show.
Luca: Are you talking about her complexes?
Haname: ...I'm talking about her weird dreams.
Shinji: ... we can't do anything about that. Anyway ... today the tarots are concerned.

The ash-blond haired man turns to the mist and observes the tarot cards, placed on the ground in strange and incomprehensible ways.

Luca: ... Have they told you it?
Shinji: Of course, don't you see?
Luca: I can only see the cards placed randomly on the ground.
Shinji: ... You can't see or hear anything. You are dull.
Luca: ... what the?!
Haname: I also think there is something strange.

The rain, which is looking at Arashi, moves her eyes on the sky who's still training with the sun. She turns back to look at the bottom of the gym, Masato and Arina are busy with writing on Masato's laptop.

Haname: ... Will Arina find reliable information?
Luca: ... about those mysterious guys they met yesterday?
Shinji: I'm worried about it.
Haname: Me too. I have a bad feeling about this.
Luca: ... Yay. After the guys with sunglasses now there are the guys with mantles.
Shinji: But Anemones weren't really dangerous, these guys seem strong.
Luca: Well, I think if we join forces we can be able to defeat them. There are only three of them, right?
Haname: I'm not sure, there may be people with the other flames.
Luca: ... Well, that would be worrying.

The rain gets up, wiping her skirt and taking her hands on hips.

Haname: I should go to buy something, who wants to join me?
Luca: Well, I'll come. I'm bored.
Shinji: ... shouldn't you train too?
Luca: They're details.

The lightning and the mist follow the rain outside the home.


A few minutes later the sky and the sun decide to quit training because three hours have passed and they are already quite tired.
The brunette sneaks up to her right-hand woman and drags her away from the shooting range, bringing her in the adjacent room.
There are comfortable sofas and a good snack prepared by the chefs and carried by Nanjo, the butler with mustache, he nods to the mistress and the Vongola and then disappears over the door.
Arina and Masato sit next to the table of the room and Arashi almost doesn't want to kill her brother for daring to enter in the same room where she's together with Nozomi.
Kaito also follows them and he throws himself on the couch.

Arina: ... The data are not flattering.
Nozomi: Mh? What do you mean?

The sky has grabbed a cookie and she is eating it while the storm pours the tea and the sun puts in his mouth two cookies at time.

Masato: We have looked for informations in families' databases, trying to find someone who can be matched with the people of your description.
Nozomi: Database of families? Are you talking about Vongola's database?
Masato: No, unfortunately I don't have data access and I won't dare to hack it... also because from what I know it's almost impossible to do it, and those who keep the servers are among the most brilliant men of the Vongola.
Arashi: Tsk, I bet you're talking about your idols.
Masato: Of course they are my idols! We're talking about the great Irie-san and Spanner-san!
Arashi: Stop talking nonsense and tell us what you have discovered.
Arina: We have entered in the Elektrica's database and we found some information.
Nozomi: Elektrica? The family allied with Vongola of which Fukada is part, right?
Kaito: Eh? I didn't know about it!
Arashi: We told you it almost fifty times...
Kaito: I don't remember it...
Masato: It's a family like many others. There are many families, some are allied with the Vongola and some not.
Arina: Anyway ... We found that there are about seven hundred thirty-three families using coats of various shapes ... so we have to continue the search.
Arashi: So many? But …

Arashi can't say anything because a strong melody resounds in the room, it looks like the ringing of a mobile phone. Kaito and Arashi, who already know where the sound comes, observe the sky who's taking her vibrant Vongola Locket out of her shirt.
The light blue pearl is illuminating intermittently.
She pushes it down.

Nozomi: It's Hana ...
Kaito: Wait, how are we going to find her?
Nozomi: The Locket as well as bracelets have a proximity sensor!

She throws herself out of the room, before closing the Locket she reluctantly decides to push the purple pearl-button and then puts the medallion inside the shirt, following Kaito and Arashi.

Arashi: ... have you done it?
Nozomi: I had to, I'm not sure that things will turn for the better.

They arrive on place within minutes, they come face-to-face with six guys who're imposing on Haname, Shinji and Luca, on the ground in poor condition.
The six unknown guys wear dark cloaks: each coat has a small cape with a collar, stopped by a pin with a yellow and white upside half moon and under it there's a star with an N engraved on the inside. Everyone have a star-shaped earring in their left ear, each one with a centered stone with a different color.

Nozomi: Everyone! What the ...?
Luca: Juuichidaimeeeee, you came!

Luca whines, complaining and limping towards the Vongola, hiding behind her.

Nozomi: Luca, what ...
Haname: Beware, they have all the flames!

The rain is lying on the ground and she's trying to stands up, holding her injured left leg, while the mist is bleeding near the shoulder and observes the friends with worried look.
Arashi has already started the attack, she glanced at the six, recognizing the man who had the flame of the storm: it's a boy with thick light brown hair and intense brown eyes, he has a scar on his left eye.
She pulled out her twin guns, pointing at him and is now shooting him quickly. The young man suddenly disappears and then reappears next to her, hitting her quickly and throwing her to the ground.

Arashi: What-
Shinji: It's an illusion, the mist, the child!

Shinji points to the smallest girl of the group. She's around ten years old, has short and wavy pink hair and violet eyes, wearing small wings-shaped hairpins on the sides of the head.

- Hihihi ... -
- Mh, they are unprepared. - says a boy with short greenish hair, he has a mole under his right eye and a bored expression.

Kaito also attack them, identifying the sun from the night before in the short red-haired girl with blue eyes.

Kaito: Fight with me, girl of the sun!
- Uhnahaha, you're rude. My name is Orione. -

The young man tries to hit her with a punch but she stops him easily, her strength is far superior to a normal girl and she simply throws him to the ground.

- I wonder what we should do here ... - an albino girl seems bored: her hair are tied in her right side of the head, and her eyes are golden.
- Don't complain, we are here on behalf of the boss. - a blonde girl with aquamarine eyes approaches her, she has a star marked under the right eye.

Nozomi observes the six enemies and then turns her gaze on her guardians, all of them are defeated. What is going on?

Nozomi: Who the hell are you?

Something incredibly fast is approaching her, the girl realizes it right away and tries to go into Hyper mode, but unfortunately nothing happens, just like the time at the television studios.
The girl is petrified because she isn't able to use her power and the presence is getting closer.
Fortunately, the mysterious attacker is stopped by another warrior that is almost faster than him: Cloud, who apparently has decided to respond to her call, is fighting a guy with long night blue hair, orange eyes and he is wearing a bandage over his right eye.

Cloud: Tsk. Now I'm going to conduct this music by myself.

The maestro throws the CD, they quickly multiply themselves and fly against the man who uses his sky flame to slow them down and confuse their directions.

Nozomi: What ... how the hell he did it?
Haname: Isn't the tranquillity a rain attribute?
Shinji: No, look better ... the CDs are petrified!
All the cloud's CDs are now stuck into the ground, petrified, and Cloud is confused.
The man with long dark hair reaches his group and turns to the Vongolas he just defeated.
The young man is wearing a long coat with a central split with yellowish edges, the collar is orange and the pin with the moon and the star is bigger and bolder than his friends'.

- My name is Sirius and I'm the seventh boss of Notturno family. -

His guardians approach him, all with a serious face.

Sirius: Leone, Eridano, Orione, Cassiopea, Lira and Colomba are my guardians, from now we're going to protect Namimori. Do not bother further, Vongola Undicesima.

Sirius smiles before disappearing, along with the others.

The group of losers remain bewildered and silent, until Cloud loses his control and stamps violently the petrified CDs, destroying them.

Cloud: What the hell was that disgusting performance? Each of you acted on your own and without a minimum common sense!
Kaito: ... but ... what ...
Cloud: You think you're fighters? Namimori's protectors? You only looks like some random inexperienced guys!
Haname: no ... they were stronger and ...
Cloud: They weren't strong, you haven't been able to fight in a dignified manner. Your melody is rough and dull, you are totally out of sync. No wonder you've been beaten.
Nozomi: Cloud, you also have been defeated!
Cloud: Do you think that I could do something against them all?
Arashi: ... I didn't know you were so realistic.
Cloud: I evaluate the situation before taking action. Anyway ... you should go immediately to the hospital, there are people seriously injured here.

He points to Haname's almost fractured leg, the blood comes out of some of Shinji's wounds and Luca's foot.
Kaito and Arashi have been hit on the back and arms, that's nothing serious but the heavy blows have paralyzed their limbs for a while.
Nozomi observes the boys with a depressed and almost furious look.

Who is to blame, now? She has no idea who are those Notturno people neither what they really want.
Protect Namimori? For what reason?
Are they really enemies or just weird allies? What the hell is happened?

"Don't take blame, find a solution." she continues to repeat to herself, just like Haname said at the clinic.

Nozomi: We ... We must become stronger to defeat those Notturno people.

The only solution she can think right now is to become stronger and improve the use of their flames.
Once again she failed to enter in Hyper mode and she hasn't understood the reason, so she feels more useless than ever. She had been petrified to observe the scene, without any possibility to react, and all her friends heavily suffered it. She's ashamed of herself and her terrible weakness.

What will happen in their future?
Now it's seven in the evening and the night embraces Namimori.

Something new is about to begin, something that's going to change the course of their lives.


Note:
Leone(Leo), Eridano(Eridanus), Orione(Orion), Cassiopea(Cassiopeia), Lira and Colomba(Columba) are all constellations. Notturno means "Nocturnal".
