Xxx Normal POV xxx
Korin and Tsuna blast right through the venus flytrap wall like paper before seeing more walls comes down, creating a tunnel where missiles suddenly launches from the walls. "Korin, Tsuna, go through the left." Reborn tells them, gesturing to the hole up the upper left. The two nodded and flew up through the hole.
What they did not expect is the missiles are following them. "Homing?-!" Mikuri cried.
"Tsuna, move up." Korin tells him, with him slowing down till he is a considerable distance and Mikuri is behind him, and face the missiles. He took a death breath, "Dragon Rage!-!-!-!" he roared huge flame blast at the missiles, destroying the missiles. But more missiles are coming from behind.
"Damn…" Korin grumbled as he flew right behind Tsuna, "You need to move it, Tsuna!"
"Spanner's body won't be able to take it if I go any faster." Tsuna tells him.
"Don't worry, Vongolia." Spanner tells him, "I won't drag you down."
He reaches into his parachute and took out a bowl of noodles, "Wrong one…"
"You don't say…" Korin sighed, "Why do you have that in there anyway?"
"In case I got hungry."
"That's the least of your problem right now…" Mikuri said.
He put it back and took out something else, "Got it."
In his hands, there is a cannon-like weapon, firing some kind of smoke with small pieces of shining metal dressed in sun flames, causing the missiles to go haywire. "That was the Freya shaft cannon that can disrupt missiles from fighter jets." Reborn stated.
"That flame was…" Tsuna said in surprise.
"Stored up Dying Will Flame," Spanner stated, "I modified the Freya shaft cannon so that the latest Dying Will Tracking Type weapons can be deflected."
"Neat!" Korin said in awe. "Not bad, Spanner," Reborn said, "Wanna have a match with our mechanic?"
"Hm?"
"Just what I wanted!" Giannini said firmly, "I, Giannini, will never lose to a Millefiore mechanic in inventing!"
"Inventing… competition…" Spanner mumbled, a smile creeping up his face, "I won't lose either…"
"We're about to reach the location that Kusakabe mentioned." Reborn tells them.
The two then notices a beep on the contacts, "Something's coming…" Tsuna stated.
"It's huge." Korin added, the object coming closer, revealing to be a huge rocket, "A rocket?-! How on earth did this come from?-!"
"Leave it to me." Spanner tells them, "I will use this to disrupt its route." Tsuna flew back, allowing the technician to move up and fired the cannon, but has no affect. To make matters worse, the rocket suddenly split into four smaller rockets, before splitting into many flying fish, much to their shock.
"Spanner/Mikuri, stay back!" Korin and Tsuna cried as they removed the rope connecting them, with them falling to the ground behind them. The two flew forward before making a flame shield, blocking the attacking sea creatures, before flying out, noticing a figure in a distance.
'Is it that guy?' They thought, noticing to be a full armoured dark violet knight with a large sword at hand.
'A human?' Tsuna thought as he got ready to hit it. Korin uses his Yurei-me and realised that the being isn't what it appears to be, "Wait, Tsuna!" Korin cried out, "That's not…" It was too late as the brunette hits the knight, only for it to disburse in violet mist, shocking him when cuts appears on his cheek and on his arm, before within the mist, a sword strikes down at him.
The sword, however, was blocked by Korin's sword, the mist clearing to reveal a man with short hair and in a black and purple Millefiore uniform with leg armour and four swords on his waist, one of them in his hands. The two skies sensed something was wrong and Tsuna creates a flame shield that blocked the projectiles that were aimed at them.
'Explosion… there are more coming!' Korin and Tsuna thought as they flew up, the explosion hits that man, who just disappears in smoky violet mist.
"Even though I wanted to say, "He saw through it?-!"" The man said, appearing behind them floating in the air, "But my opponents are the Vongolia who have the Hyper Intuition, so it is not surprising." The tunnel disappeared, replaced with a tall empty tower, "I forbid you cross this place. Don't even think about laying your hands on anything in the lab."
"It seems like he intends to use illusions." Reborn stated. "Who is this guy with the weird eyebrows?" Mikuri asked.
"Ah! Vongolia! That guy is one of the six Funeral Wreaths!" Spanner cried, "The Phantom Knight, Genkishi!"
"What?-!" Korin cried.
"W-Why is he here?" Tsuna asked in shock, "Shouldn't he be occupied with fighting the rest?-!"
"The rest?" Genkishi said, "You mean the Guardians and other Knights? They were a pain in the ass, but those guys should be turning into dust by now."
Tsuna eyes widen in shock, before he bursts right at him, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?-!-?-!-?-!" he shouted and punch at him, but hits an illusion skeleton as the swordsman just dropped down and punches the Vongolia Decimo in the chin, then flashes behind him. The brunette flew up at him and sends a barrage of punches at him, but he then disappears in a violet mist.
"You're too naïve." Genkishi said, striking at the brunette, only to see Korin kicked his partner out of harms' way before dodging the sword strike.
"Tsuna, calm down, everyone's all right." Korin tells him.
"You are spouting nonsense." Genkishi said.
"Remember the card that I gave Hayato-san?" Korin asked, "Well, it has another function that allows me to know what the person's current situation is." He took out his pactio card and place it on his forehead, "Like I thought, he's fine, then the rest must be just as all right as well."
"Then… everyone is…" Tsuna stuttered.
"You really are really irritating, seeing through my every deception, even from the past," Genkishi said, Korin turning to face him, "Korin Yan."
"You know me?" He asked,
"Of course, I would never forget the biggest humiliation you gave me." He said, his tone gaining an angered side, "You, the one that is known as the Heaven Sword, the Blade of the Sky, the Sword that transcends Sky and Darkness, the Raging Wolf, who refused to draw your sword at me in a battle, defeating me with your fists alone, damaging my pride!"
"I can see why you hate me," Korin sighed, "But you have to realise," His eyes sharpened more than when he is in hyper mode, "your use of illusions with your sword doesn't make me want to use my sword."
"In that case," He opened two boxes around his waist, the mist surrounds him. Korin just keep his composure, as the mist dissipates, revealing Genkishi in purple knight armour with horns on the side of his helmet, a large sword in his hands.
"It's getting worse." Reborn said. "He looks like a knight now!" Mikuri said on shock. "This is the first time I've seen such a weapon." Spanner stated.
"Byakuran-sama has specially instructed me to crush the Vongolia with all my might." He said, "Since you are part of it, I'll kill you first then that puny boss, as said by Kami-sama, Byakuran-sama!"
"Oh…?" Korin said, a small smirk appears on his mouth as he opened his box, revealing his sword, "This is something else, come at me, Phantom Knight!"
"What is that guy thinking…?-!" Spanner mumbled. "Korin, wait! That guy is not someone you can handle on your own right now!" Mikuri cried.
"As you wish." Genkishi slashed down at him, multiple sword strikes appears and flew at him. Korin was caught by surprise as he was blown away by the attack and was sent to the ground below, "This is an illusion sword that can multiply and strike simultaneously. Even if your Hyper Intuition can sense it, you won't be able to counter it."
"Are sure about that?" Korin asked from the smoke, the flame on his forehead burns brightly.
"Korin!" Mikuri cried.
"Is your sword skills that weak that you have to use that sword to compensate for it?" Korin asked.
"You can't provoke me, Korin Yan." Genkishi said calmly, "But if you think that my sword is my only weapon…" Korin just spun; a flame tornado surrounds him as sea slugs just burns off, "W-What?-!"
"Let me repeat myself;" Korin asked as the flames subsided, "is your sword skill that useless?"
"Korin-san is amazing…" Tsuna said in awe.
"As expected from one of the strongest in the Vongolia and Assassino," Genkishi said, "But that alone is not enough!" he flew down at him and slashed at him. Korin just flew up into the air to dodge it, with the phantom warrior after him. He turns to slashed down at him, "Hitsurugi-ryu, Higiri(Flame Slash)." A flaming crescent sword wave flew at the Genkishi, but he just slashed past it.
Korin wasn't that surprised, seeing that he is fighting someone that is stronger than him. Genkishi flew up in front of him, "Disappear!" He strikes down at him, multiple strikes at Korin, all hitting him. The teen grunted in pain as he flew back and tries to cover his wounds, "I've overestimated you, Korin Yan, to think that you have defeated me before."
"Korin is weak from the battles, plus that wound on his back isn't helping." Reborn stated, "I've heard that he uses his cannon attack on the Strau Mosca, draining his energy more. He is exhausted."
"Korin…" Mikuri mumbled worriedly.
"I see, so that's how it works…" Korin mumbled.
"Hm? What are you mumbling about?" Genkishi asked.
"I figured out that sword." Korin said, "You're not the only one who can strikes multiple times with one stroke."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"This." Korin flew up at him, his sword ready and clashed with Genkishi's sword. In that moment, two strikes hits his shoulders, shocking the phantom knight, "That's not all." The flame on his forehead starts to flicker.
"That flickering flame!" Tsuna cried.
"It's the Zero Point Breakthrough." Spanner said in shock.
"It's Revised." Reborn stated, "But can he uses that technique with the sword?"
Genkishi was caught completely unguarded, completely mesmerised by the look in his opponent's eyes, then he was about to move his sword, "Too late." Korin tells him, the flames starts to be absorbed into the teen. The phantom knight was caught by surprise, his flames being absorbed into the teen. He managed to remove it from the teen's sword.
His flames burns stronger, with white-orange flames completely engulfed the sword, creating a flame orb around the sword's handle and its blade along with his hand. "Get ready, Genkishi," Korin tells him, "It's time for my counter-attack."
"You mean you are able to hurt me now?" Genkishi said, completely unfazed but is rather shocked of the teen's new appearance.
"That's correct." The teen flashed forward and hits him with the sword hilt on his chin. Genkishi grunted and looked down, to see the sword's blade coming up and slashing him by the face between his eyes followed by two more slashes that cut one of the horns from the helmet while chipping off the top of his shoulder plate.
Korin slashed down at him again, but Genkishi flashed behind him to avoid it. The teen copied his movement and flashed behind him as well, shocking the phantom knight before he stabbed at him. Genkishi was able to block it with his sword, but the force was too great with the flames surrounding the blade in a drill-cone shape, "Kaentsuki!" the attack sends him flying back.
"…S-So strong!" Spanner said in shock, "Not only that he recovered his flame power, but his maximum power has gone up since the Strau Mosca fight."
"No, that's not it." Mikuri said, the two looking at her confused, "That is Korin's true power. You see, Korin has the tendency to hold back his power in fighting; even against the Strau Mosca he is using only 1% of his full. The only time he did went serious is with Dray-san or Xemmus."
"So, this is his full power?" Reborn asked.
"Hai." Mikuri nodded, "Even though, this is around 50 to 70%."
"S-Sugoi…" Tsuna said in awe.
"To think that Korin is holding back this whole time," Reborn smirked, "he is full of secrets…"
"You…" Genkishi growled, still thinking of that look in his eyes, filled with understanding and yet doubts at the same time, 'Those eyes… it's the same…' remembering the time he fought with the future Korin, losing with one-sided results, 'Why… why is he always giving me that look?-! If it wasn't for that, I would have followed Byakuran-sama's orders to destroy the Assassino… I have failed to follow Kami-sama's commands twice, to fail again, is…'
"You can't defeat my true loyalty!-!-!" He shouted all of the sudden, mist starts to surrounds him, shocking everyone. The mist clears to reveal what appears to be the true phantom knight, a huge devilishly-looking skeleton in the purple knight armour which somehow got bigger with him.
"Hm…?" Korin hummed, floating in front of the skeleton warrior completely unfazed.
"Is that an illusion?" Spanner asked. "I wish it were." Reborn replied grimly. "What the heck happened to him…?" Tsuna said in shock.
"A-A s-s-skeleton…" Mikuri stuttered, before fainting on the spot, her spirit floating out from her mouth.
"Seriously, Mikuri… You took on demons but can't handle skeletons or scary ghosts?" Korin sighed.
"That's unsuspected." Zero said, "To think that this idiot to have the Hell Ring."
'Hell Ring?'Korin mentally asked.
"The cursed rings that gain the user immense power in exchange for their soul, the Hell Rings," Zero explains, "From what I know, the Hell Rings were once hunted down by some people for their powers but they all become completely insane."
'Wait, you mean that Genkishi just…'
"Hai, he sold his soul to the devils of hell."
"Hahahaha!-! I am now invincible!" The skeletonised Genkishi laughed, "Come! Let me dig out your eyeballs!"
"You can try, monster." Korin said.
"You cocky bastard… All you can do now is…" Genkshi flew at him, slashing at him, "Talk!" Korin blocked his attack before spinning around him and slashed down at him, to only hit an illusionary skeleton. Genkishi flew behind and slashed at him, the teen easily dodged it before flashing around a few times and tries to hit him with his sword handle. The knight anticipated and countered it with a hit to the face, just as Korin hit him in the face as well.
The two was sent flying back, Genkishi was sent to the wall, while Korin manage to stabilise in the air. "W-What kind of fight is this…?" Spanner stuttered.
"Like I thought, you haven't gotten stronger, but weaker." Korin tells him.
"What?-!" Genkishi shouted angrily.
"Your true strength comes from your well-controlled anger, precise attacks and calm judgement." Korin stated, "But you are now nothing but a big size warrior who uses his sword like a club. I have no interest in defeating you in this state." The teen withdrew his sword.
"Ku, Hahahahaha!-!" Genkishi laughed, "If you think that the level that I am at now is that after I have released the Hell Ring's power?-! The real power begins now!-!" the mouth of the skeleton starts to glow, before spitting out a skeleton. 'What the hell?' Korin thought, before seeing that the skeleton start to gain skin, becoming more human-like, before the face came forth as Yamamoto, "Korin…"
"W-What?-!" Korin cried. Two more skeletons flew out, taking forms of Chrome and Gokudera.
"Boss Knight…"
"Crazy Tattoo!"
The two followed and strangled him, Korin gasping from shock and for air. "T-This is just illusions…" Korin grunted out, moving to disburse them.
"Oh…? Is destroying them all right?" Genkishi asked, "These illusions are tied to the lives of your real Knights and Guardians, you know?"
"Y-You're bluffing!" Korin shouted, 'Even so… There is no way for me to find out their exact locations… Ray told me that the pactio cards have three options, one: contact between the mage and his partner via telepathy, two: summon them to battle, no matter where they are, and three: bring forth their artefact. Mine has a fourth which allow me to see if the person holding the copy of my card is all right and their condition but not their locations…'
Three smaller skeletons came out, taking forms of Lambo, I-pin and Adhira, all crying, "Lambo, I-pin, Adhira! Let go of me!"
"Haha! Even if you speak to them, it's useless!" Genkishi laughed, "This has nothing to do with their willpower! They will just crush you with their strength! If you don't kill them, there's no way you'll be able to break free! So, can you kill your comrades?"
Few more came out, taking forms of Lal, Kusakabe, Cleio, Hibari, Nerio and Kasumi, all coming to strangle him, pushing him down. "Vongolia!" Spanner cried. "Korin!" Tsuna shouted, getting ready to go over there.
"Wait, Tsuna." Reborn tells his student, "It's not over yet."
Two more skeletons came out, however, these two doesn't take form of anyone else that they know off. One of them became a woman with dark-blue hair and onyx eyes, while the other took form of a carbon copy of Korin, with the exception of his right eye is blue while the other is green.
"Who are they?" Tsuna asked.
"Beats me." Reborn stated.
"W-What…" Korin's eyes widen in shock, before gritting his teeth, "You… why are they…"
"Hahaha! Surprised?" Genkishi laughed, "To think that you met your siblings here? It's pretty simple, since I'm the one who kill them!"
"Two of Genkishi's victims?" Spanner said.
"Wait, did he just say… siblings?" Tsuna asked.
"Then those two are Korin's family." Reborn stated.
"You…" Korin was beyond pissed, he is fuming in rage, "Damn you, Genkishi!"
"Die, Korin Yan!"
"You… You are someone that…" Korin's gloves glows, sky flames bursting behind him, "I'll never forgive, Genkishi!-!" that shout was so loud that it sounds more like a roar, the shockwave shook the entire base all the way to the Vongolia hideout, stunning everyone there, especially Sol, "Korin… You…" He stuttered.
"My ears!" Spanner cried, covering his ears. "R-Reborn…" Tsuna stated. "It was heard here as well." Reborn said, Giannini at the background covering his ears as well. Mikuri got up from the noise and immediately cover her ears, "What's going on?-!"
"GENKISHI!-!-!" Korin roared; a silhouette of a huge wolf howling surrounds him. The shockwave disburses all the illusionary figures, Genkishi shocked of what's happening. "I-Impossible!" Genkishi cried, "How can he…!"
"You'll…" He looked down to see Korin in position to fire his Knight-Burner, "You'll pay for all of this!-!"
"Right Burner Flame Pressure increasing." The mechanic voice said.
"That reverse thrust flame!"
"230 000… 240 000… Still increasing! Entering Red Zone!"
"I-It's over 200 000?-!" Spanner cried in shock, "No way…! He surpassed the max power I'd estimated!"
"Left Burner Flame Pressure increasing…"
"Get ready to meet hell, Genkishi!" Korin yelled.
"Hell to you! You are just a child! How dare you!" Genkishi yelled.
"Left Burner… 230 000… 240 000… Entering Red Zone!"
"Can the contact lens withstand that?" Reborn asked.
"I'm more worried about Vongolia's body…" Spanner stated, "Can he hold that much flame pressure?"
"Gauge Symmetry! Standby to fire!"
"Take this!" Korin cried.
"I'll tear you to pieces!" Genkishi shouted as multiple skeletons surround him.
"Knight-Burner: Hyper Explosion!-!" Korin fired a much more intense blast of knight flames at the phantom knight as he countered with his sword. The two clashed as neither of them are giving in. After a while, one of the skeletons that Genkishi brought out suddenly crumbles; followed by the rest one by one.
Eventually, all the skeletons crumbled away along with his sword, leaving him to take full power the blast on his own, "Damn you!-!" Genkishi shouted, the flames burning pieces of the skull slowly revealing his eyes, "Don't push your luck! After all…! All of you are… All of you are just Byakuran-sama's pawns… All… dancing in his palm-!" the blast completely destroyed the skeleton warrior, the illusion of the area slowly dissipating.
The blast continues upward and destroyed the wall, with sea slugs falling down from the walls; one of them hits the ground and exploded, shocking Spanner as he rolled into a small ball and wait for impact, except that the brunette managed to create a flame shield that protected him from the explosive slugs, just as Mikuri opened her shield. Korin descends to the floor, while Reborn talk to Tsuna.
"Korin?" Mikuri asked, walking up to him, before noticing tears around his eyes, him falling out of hyper mode. She sighed and hugged him.
"M-Mikuri…?"
"Just let it out…" She said to him, "Just… let out all those emotions…"
"You… you bubbly… idiot…" Korin couldn't take anymore and just let out all his tears in Mikuri's arms, all those emotions, the sadness, the loneliness, all let out as he cried in his friend's arm. Mikuri gave a sad smile, just happy that her friend is not bottling up his feelings and sad that he has those emotions for so long.
"Oi! Lovebirds!" Reborn called out, the two immediately separated, blushing really red, "Look up." The two looked up, to find the white round machine they were looking for, right above them, "There it is!" Mikuri cried.
"It was on top of the whole time." Korin said, before sighing in relief, "I'm so glad I didn't use my Devil Impact…"
"You were about to blast the place down?-!" Mikuri cried.
"It's not like I did it, relax."
"How can I relax at all?-!" She cried, "You could accidentally destroy the place!-!"
"Calm down…" Korin tries to calm her down before he trips over his own foot, falling on her and his right hand magically reached her breast, "G-Gomenasai…" he apologised, but the girl starts to emit black aura, her face a little red with a small anger mark on her head.
"YOU PERVERT!-!-!"
*SLAP*
The four flew up to the floor above them, the white machine in front of them. Korin has a red handprint on his cheek where Mikuri slapped him, again. 'Why me…' Korin sobbed, 'It wasn't intentional at all…!' but was snapped out of his thoughts when Tsuna cried out one name.
"Irie Shouichi!" Tsuna shouted, before noticing the two familiar masked women beside him, "Eh! You're Cervello!"
"First put down your fists, the talk comes after." Irie stated.
"Talk?"
"Didn't you hear? If you pull any smart moves they will die." He stated, the woman beside him pressing a remote that the huge box behind him opens to reveal everyone unconscious in a test-tube like container.
"Minna!" Tsuna cried. "It's the younger Hibari-san and Nerio!" Korin cried.
"I put them asleep with sleeping gas in a place surrounded by nanocomposit walls so they won't escape." Irie tells them, "If you try something stupid to save them, I'll change it to poison gas." The Cervello pressed another button on the remote; oxygen starts to fill up the small prison.
"… Shouichi?" Spanner stuttered, shocked that his friend would do something like this.
"Okay, that should do it."
The people inside starts to stir up and wake up, "Urg… what a nightmare…" Gokudera grunted, "Strangling Crazy Tattoo's throat…" he then notices his current situation and saw his bosses, "Juudaime! Crazy Tattoo! Did we get caught?-! Ah! That's the Cervello woman! Why are they?-!"
"Your life is in my hands." Irie tells them, "I want to talk, so behave, won't you?"
"Irie Shouichi!" Kusakabe shouted.
"Who?" Nerio asked, "Would someone explain to me what is going on?-!"
"Ano yaro…" The bomber move to take out his box weapon, to find it missing. "Resistance is futile." Irie stated, "I've taken…" he reveals all the Vongolia Rings and Knight Rings along with Lal's rings and Korin's and Chrome's pactio cards, "all your rings and weapons."
"W-What?-!"
"What is going on here?-!" Kusakabe shouted.
"Sawada… Korin…" Lal grunted, "Don't mind us! You must destroy the device!"
"Eh?-!"
"That's right, Juudaime!" Gokudera cried out, "The round device! If you destroy that we might be able to return to the past!"
"Don't!" Chrome cried out.
"Why you! Did this situation make you want to lose your life or something?-!"
"No… but…"
"Honestly, I'm amazed at your ignorance." Irie stated, "If you destroy this device, the ones to be inconvenienced will be you, right?"
"What?-!" Tsuna cried out, before the white device starts to open, "It's opening!"
"Inside this device…" Irie explained, "Those who disappeared while being switch with you… are your future selves." The white device opens completely, to show all the older versions of everyone, all unconscious inside the round device. Korin took notice of his and Mikuri's, noticing that his future counterpart is wearing a lab coat over an orange shirt and black pants with black shoes, Mikuri's in a teacher's clothes, black suit and skirt with formal shoes.
"Although what you're seeing right now is a holographic image, they are actually disassembled into a molecular state and preserved inside." Irie stated.
"W-What's going on?-!" Gokudera said, "But us from this time…"
"They were supposed to have gone with the Ten-Year-Bazooka's effect!" Kusakabe shouted.
"That's right, in reality, someone shot by the Ten-Year-Bazooka should switch between their 10 years later and present day form." Irie explained, "However, this device managed to keep your future selves here before they went into the past. If your selves from this time went to the past, they would do unnecessary things and would cause a disturbance in the tri-ni-sette policy."
"Tri-ni-sette… policy…?" Gokudera stuttered, "If he knows about the Ten-Year-Bazooka… no way…"
"The one who shot the Ten-Year-Bazooka and sent us to this time…" Reborn asked, "Was it you?"
"… Of course; the me of 10 years ago could use this time's box weapons and technology, so I shot you with the Ten-Year-Bazooka." Irie stated, "For example, by being exposed to the non-7^3(tri-ni-sette, I like numbers better.), we managed to restrict the Arcobaleno's and some the of Devil's Mark users' movements."
"That's how I was paralysed at that time…"
"But…" Tsuna asked, returning to normal, "Why? Why would you go through all that trouble to get us to this time?-!"
"Irie-sama," Cervello tells him, "any further…"
"No, I'll answer." Irie stated, "It's simple really, for Byakuran to be able to destroy the world in his hands and make a new one, he needed the Vongolia Rings and the Knight Rings." Everyone was shocked of his answer, "In this world, there exists a large number of rings with hidden power, of which we call the Mare Rings, Vongolia Rings, and the Arcobaleno Pacifiers; which all contain in a set of 7, a total number of 21 rings, 7^3."
"7^3's ores are the cornerstones that created this world." He continued, "But to full utilise their powers, two more sets are needed, the Vongolia Knight Rings and the Mare Knight Rings, both having powers on opposite sides of the spectrum."
"W-What?-!" Korin cried. "What… a story…" Tsuna stuttered.
"You're free to believe it or not." Irie tells them, "However, the Arcobaleno who sacrificed themselves because they were ordered to protect the 7^3, can't deny this story." The two Arcobaleno's stiffened at his comment. "What?-! Eh?-! Sacrifice?-!" Tsuna cried, "R-Reborn and them has something to do with this?-!"
"We're done talking; I'm leaving the rest to you." Irie tells the Cervello.
"Yes sir." The Cervello understood, pointing a gun at them, "Sawada Tsunayoshi and Korin Yan; hand over the Sky Rings. If not, we'll poison your Guardians and Knights."
"We're not done talking yet, Irie." Reborn stated, "There's one part I can't agree on."
"We're not negotiating. This is an order." The two women repeated, "If you don't obey within 3 seconds, you can't escape destruction."
"J-Just a… Matte! You're the Cervello, right?-!" Tsuna cried.
"3."
"Damn woman!" Gokudera shouted, "Juudaime! Don't mind us, please get those guys!"
"But… there is no way I can…"
"2."
"HIEEEE!-!" The brunette shrieked.
"Do it, Sawada, Korin!" Lal shouted, "After they get the Sky Rings, they'll kill us anyway!"
"But…"
"1." The woman was about to pull the trigger, but a gunshot was heard, shocking everyone, "Irie…-sama...?" the two collapsed to the ground with a thud, the said man with a smoking gun in his hand. "Don't think badly of me, it'll just make you a little sleepy."
He sighed, "Haa… It's hot." He groaned, unzipping his jacket and ruffling his hair, "I'm all worn out… I thought I'd try it out just once… Sawada Tsunayoshi and everyone in the family… Ah… I'm so nervous… my legs are shaking…" The man fall on his backside with a sigh, "You did well to get this far, I was waiting for you… I'm your ally."
"W-Wait…" Korin stuttered.
"WWWWHHHHAAAATTTT?-!-?-!-?-!-?-! YOU'RE ON OUR SIDE?-!-?-!"
"Y-Yeah… That's right." Irie tells them, "Normally, everything I do is under full 24-hour surveillance by my subordinates and the cameras which transmits directly to Byakuran-san but, thanks to you guys, everything's a mess. Finally, I can talk without alerting the Millefiore people… Haa… I've been waiting forever for this moment…"
"Being able to meet you in this base, under these conditions," Irie stated, "was the goal we have been planning from the start."
"Eh? Goal?-!" Tsuna cried. "W-What the hell are you talking about?-!" Gokudera shouted.
"The fact that you were brought here to this era because the Millefiore wanted the Vongolia Rings and the Knight Rings is true." Irie explains as he got up on his feet, "But, ever since you guys arrived in this era, I've been pulling the strings to get here, according to a secret plan that we'd devised without the knowledge of the Millefiore, so you could undergo training and become stronger."
Everyone all was shocked of his explanation, "A lot of bad things happened though… for that I'm truly sorry…" He apologised, "But, you had to be trained to increase your strength exponentially in the shortest possible time, so that you'd be ready for the battle that's to come. This was the only way!"
"That explains the message." Korin stated.
"Eh? Message?" Tsuna asked.
Korin took out a piece of paper from his pockets, "In the sword handle that my future self left for me contains this, in it wrote this." He flipped the paper to show a series of Chinese characters, "Translating, this means: Don't hurt Irie Shouichi, he is a friend."
"Teme, why didn't you show us that before?-!" Gokudera shouted.
"Because this is what confused me!" Korin shouted, "I was told that Irie Shouichi is our enemy, but my future counterpart stated that he is our friend! Even if I show you then, what good will it do?-!"
"That's right! I'm not the enemy you're after!" Irie tells them.
"Fuck you! You're making all this up!" The bomber yelled, "You were the one that got us into this mess!"
"Gokudera is right!" Lal shouted, "Who'd believe a thing you say?-!"
"C-Chotto Matte, just think about it…!" Irie cried, "If I'd wanted to kill you, I'd have done so much earlier already!" Everyone all clam up, "No matter how much the Millefiore drop their guard, their fire power is light years ahead of yours, not even Korin is strong enough to take on their troops. Instead of replacing your future counterparts all at once, I made sure your counterparts of this era will guide and train all of you from the past."
Korin knew from this, Sol, Nerio, Cosma, all didn't switch until later, "Also, once you enter the base, I could have moved the base much earlier and capture all of you." Irie added, "But, that wouldn't help you to gain experience so I had to delay it on purpose! That's not all! Why do you think that I-pin, Sasagawa Kyoko and Miura Haru were brought here from the past even though they were not your Guardians or Knights?"
"You'd grow a lot stronger when there're people you want to protect." Irie stated, "We'd decided that was a necessity we couldn't avoid. Actually…"
He was about to go on but Tsuna had ran over and grabbed Irie by his shirt, him glaring at the undercover agent, "How could you!-! What kind of reason is that?-! What if something had happened to Kyoko-chan and the others?-!" The brunette shouted, "And, it's not just them! Even before they started training… Yamamoto, Gokudera-kun and even Lal… we could have all died in a fight!-!"
"I-If that was the case… it couldn't be helped anyway…"
"What?-!" Korin shouted, "What do you mean couldn't be helped?-!"
"I've tried my best to plan it all!" He shouted, "If something unexpected had happened, I'd been in trouble too!-! All of this is a lot more serious than you think!-! Besides, this entire plan was part of your future counterpart's idea too, Tsunayoshi-kun!"
"M-My idea…?"
"This plan was of the upmost secrecy held between myself, your future counterpart, the future Hibari Kyoya, the future Amaya Nerio and the future Korin Yan," He stated, "under no circumstances was the plan to be revealed to anyone else, though the future Korin did tell the future Konoe Mikuri. That's also why the future Hibari-kun and Amaya-kun knew about the ambush from us."
"What…" Kusakabe was dumbfounded by all the revelations given this man.
"Furthermore, your future counterpart and future Korin-kun resisted the idea of getting the others involved till the very end." Irie stated, "Finally, they acknowledged that this was something that their past selves needed in order to grow."
I-Is that true…?" Tsuna stuttered, letting go of Irie's shirt, "I-I did this…?"
"That's impossible!" Lal yelled, "I know Sawada's personality!"
"Yeah! Juudaime will never allow the kids to get involved in this!" Gokudera shouted. "That's right! Korin-kun will never have agreed to this!" Kasumi shouted.
"Don't you see?-! That's exactly why this situation is that bad!-!" Irie shouted, "Let me finished talking first!"
"*cough* Shouichi… bad temper…" Spanner tells his friend.
"If we didn't take this gambit to deal with this situation, all of your friends will be annihilated!" Irie shouted, "In fact… more people… or worse… all of humanity will be in crisis!-!"
"Humanity… in crisis…?" Tsuna stuttered. "Man that really must have suck!" Korin laughed, with Mikuri smacking him over the head.
"Is that related to the battle that's to come you mentioned earlier?" Reborn asked.
"Ah? Umm… yeah…"
"…Reborn?" Tsuna looked at his tutor in confusion.
"I think we can believe him." The infant hitman stated, "Because he answered most of my questions I'd been wondering about, and all the facts have been consistent so far."
"Reborn-san…"
"A-Arigatou…" Irie sighed, "That's right… your true enemy is Byakuran-san."
"I knew it…" Tsuna and Korin mumbled, before pausing for a moment, 'Why'd I just say 'I knew it'?'
"Byakuran will stop at nothing to collect the 7^3 and take control of the world, he called it his '7^3 policy'…"Irie tells them, "If he succeeds in getting what he wants, you're going to see a hell much worse than what you've experience so far… any man, organisation or country who doesn't do as he says will be wiped out."
"If that's the case, there's one thing I don't get." Reborn stated, "Why have you been helping Byakuran up till now?"
"Hm?"
"If you hadn't used the use the Ten-Year-Bazooka to send the Vongolia Rings to this era, he would never be able to complete his plan, right?" Reborn stated, "At the very least, you could have reduced the casualties in the long run."
"…Yeah, for a while anyway." Irie stated, "Even without my help, he would have found some other way to send you guys to the future… Plus, there is another reason for this, the only way to stop him is to do it in this era."
"Hm? What do you mean?" Korin asked.
"The only way to seal Byakuran's power and defeat him is in this era!"
"Power?-!" Everyone shouted out in shock.
"It'll take too long to explain but…" He then remembered, "AH! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THEM!-!"
"Eh?"
"Have you received any contact from the Vongolia HQ?"
"Hm? Not yet." Reborn tells them.
"Not yet…? Right… It's not time yet…" Irie sighed, dropping on the floor again on his knees, hugging his stomach in pain, "Uuh… I'm getting nervous again…"
"What's… happened…?" Tsuna asked.
"This entire gambit to bring you guys through all that hardship in order to defeat Byakuran; that was the first stage." He tells them, "But, there's also another stage we have to clear too."
"Eh?-! We have to fight some more?-!" Tsuna cried.
"Ah, no… it's not that." Irie tells him, "I wanted to let you guys rest and heal your injuries for a while. But, whether or not we have the luxury depends entirely on stage 2."
"What is it, this stage 2 thing?" Reborn asked.
"You've heard about it, right?" Irie stated, "The Vongolia and Assassino are launching a large scale international operation against the Millefiore today."
"Ah… now that you mention it…" Tsuna said, remembering what the adult Ryohei told him.
"If their operation fails, everything is going to get more difficult…" Irie tells them, "The most important key is the battle in Italy."
"There is a battle in Italy?" Korin asked.
"You don't know?-!" Everyone cried.
"Didn't Sol-san brief you on that?" Kusakabe asked.
"I think he did, but I must have fallen asleep in the middle." Korin laughed sheepishly, "I didn't get any much sleep lately."
"Korin… you…" Mikuri sighed, before looking at him worriedly, 'You're probably too nervous, hiding under that smile and I can tell, you're shaking too…'
"So, can you get them out?" Korin asked.
"Eh?"
"Let the others out so we can heal their wounds." Reborn tells him.
"Ah! R-Right…!"
"There you go." Korin tells Kusakabe after he bandaged him up his wounds.
"Thanks, Korin-san." He thanked him.
"No problem."
Irie managed to opened the glass prison and set everyone out. Korin, Mikuri and Kasumi all decided to help bandage up the injured, though Irie became one when Nerio punched him multiple times, with him saying that his face just pisses him off. Though, Reborn asked Irie about what Byakuran's power is, but he claimed it was because of his powers that everything happened, the creation of the box weapons, birth of the Millefiore, as well as the non-7^3 radiation in the atmosphere.
That has gotten Korin thinking, what actually are Byakuran's powers? He knew about the box weapons, about how they are miraculously are found and built, that this is beyond any coincidence of any sort. It was then Irie pop a message to him.
"Korin-kun, may I have a word?" He asked.
"S-Sure…" Korin followed the man as they walked to the far end, where Reborn couldn't hear them, he even shut up his headphones just in case, "What is it?"
"I know you're a mage and all, in fact, almost everyone in the future within the Vongolia knew about it." He stated, "So, I'll be straight to the point. I need you to form pactio's with all the Knights."
…
…
…
…
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?-!" Korin shouted with everyone all looked at their direction.
"You want me to do wh-!"
"Keep it down!" Irie hushed him, covering his mouth in time, "Listen, I've heard that whenever one forms a pactio with a mage, you gain a new weapon to your fighting style or based on your hidden ability, so I thought maybe you could…"
"That's not what I'm worried about!" Korin quietly yelled at him, "I'm not kissing a guy!" 'Not Mikuri… not yet… huh? Why did I say 'yet'?'
"Giannini just received news from Italy about the main battle." Reborn announced to them, Korin and Irie looking over, "Looks like Xanxus managed to defeat his opponents."
"Eh?-! For real?-!" Everyone cried out.
'To think that Xanxus actually did it…' Korin thought, 'I wonder… is Xion with him…?'
"Finally, the news we've been waiting for." Irie sighed, "I don't want to be a wet blanket, but… It's too early to celebrate. Even if you defeated their general, the strength of their army is superior to yours. If the Millefiore appoint a new general and draw out a battle-"
"There's no need to worry about that." Reborn tells them, "It seems that some of the Assassino has defeated any backup generals, resulting in the enemy to beginning to retreat."
"Whoa! Eh?-!"
"Then that means…!"
"We won, right!-!" Irie shouted excitedly.
"Well, yes." Reborn stated.
"That means we can really do it! The Vongolia's and Assassino's fighting power is much higher than we expected! They even managed to overcome the main force!" Irie shouted in amazement.
"Why are you getting all excited all of the sudden…" Gokudera grumbled, with Mikuri giggling.
'The Assassino really are allies to the Vongolia…' Korin said, 'Say… Isn't there that one guy from the Assassino that went to the Millefiore? What was his name… Anois? Edois? Mois Shitotama? No… it sounds like… More like…'
"Oh no~ This is merely a little break~" Everyone all widen their eyes in shock of the sudden voice, "Both the main battle in Italy, and the Melone base in Japan, you have been very entertaining." They turned to find the bushy white haired man with a purple tattoo under his left eye standing in the middle of the room.
"Wha?-!"
"Calm down, it's just a hologram." Kusakabe told them.
"Then, t-that's…" Tsuna stuttered. "Byakuran-san!" Irie shouted.
"Byakuran, you really need to give me a warning before you do this." Another voice said out, another figure came out, this time a flat black hair man with black glasses, appeared at them.
"Ah, you're…!" Korin cried out, before pausing a bit, "Monis Yamatama!"
Everyone comically fall, "It's Adonis Shiroyama, baka!" The man shouted, "What are you, a dunderhead?-!"
"Man, you have a real difficult-to-pronounce name…" Korin sighed, "Get a better name."
"Why you…"
"Calm down, Don-don~" Byakuran tells him, "This pre-game battle had a very important purpose, you know. Like you've shown me the true abilities of the Vongolia's most powerful squad and Assassino's best warriors, and Shou-chan's desperate act to deceive me."
"Ah!" Irie was taken by surprise, not expected that his ex-boss would figure it out already, "T-Then you mean…"
"Yup, busted~"
"You were always a smart person, Irie-san." Adonis said, adjusting his glasses, revealing a small glance of his yellow eyes that seems to stare right into their hearts, "But this is one time you are just plain stupid. Betraying Byakuran is probably the dumbest idea you have done, but I guess this is expected… You've never since to agree with Byakuran's plans from the start."
He was shocked, but then clenched his fists, "What you're doing… is wrong!" Irie said firmly.
"Oh, is that right, Irie-san?" Adonis stated, "Such things as caring to this rotten world is making you soft, I have no need for such softness in the Millefiore."
"Matte." Korin said to him, walking up to him, "What the hell are you telling us all of this? You could just kept quiet and then attacked us when we least expected and take your precious 7^3 rings. Why would you went and give yourself away?"
"You're… Zorin." Adonis said.
"You're purposely saying that wrong, did you…?"
"Well then, it is because you stand no chance against me and Byakuran, the possibility of you ever defeating us is zero to none." Adonis stated.
"Huh? What do you m-?" At the moment, a giant creature just came out of the person, bigger than Korin's own, its mouth over the teen's head. Korin could only stand there, eyes widen in shock and his entire body shaking in fear, breaking out in cold sweat, "W-What was… t-that…?"
"See, you're shaking." Adonis stated, "This proves that you have absolute not chance of survival in a battle with me."
'What's the deal with this guy…?' Korin thought in fear as he dropped to the ground on fours, 'This is just a hologram… and yet… I can feel his power being transmitted from device… Adonis Shiroyama… This guy… He is beyond anything I have ever faced before… He… He might be at the same level at Ray!'
"Let me do the rest, Addie~" Byakuran stated, everyone all sweat-dropped at the change in nickname, "Like Issy said, it's too easy for us to continue the battle and crush the Vongolia completely. But, I've been having so much fun so far. Plus, being betrayed by my most trusted aide had to have some effect on my pride as a leader right?"
"That's why I thought it's about time we have a proper match. An official trial of strength; between the Vongolia Family under Sawada Tsunayoshi-kun's command, and my Millefiore." Byakuran tells them, "Of course, the 7^3 will be the stake. The time is right, too. A farewell party to bid Shou-chan and this old world goodbye~ and a ceremony to celebrate the new world~"
"Byakuran-san! Please consider your current situation!" Irie tells him, "Do you really think it'd be that easily?-!"
"Oh? Why so excited, Shou-chan?" Byakuran asked.
"You sent five of the six Funeral Wreaths into battle, four in the Melone base in Japan plus one in Italy." The ex-Millefiore stated, "Of the seven Mare Rings, you have lost five of them. You didn't even found any of the Mare Knight Rings yet. Now, you're like a bird that has lost its wings."
"That's true~ If those are real."
At that, the Mare Ring around Irie's finger broke, shocking everyone, "They're fakes!" Irie cried.
"Of course. They are beautiful stones of rank A too, but the 7^3 are a lot more special than that." Byakuran tells them.
"And," Adonis spoke up, "Who says he hasn't found the Mare Knight Rings?" He lifts up his hand, to show a ring similar to Byakuran, only to have a sword emblem in the middle, like the Vongolia Knight Rings.
"The Mare Knight Rings?-!" Irie shouted, "But… How?-!"
"They were pretty easy to find, since the person that found and protected them is no longer here." Adonis tells him.
"That's impossible! The future Korin has placed many security measures!" Irie cried, "Plus, it was placed in the Assassino main headquarters that no one has the power to break in!"
"Then you really became stupid." Adonis laughed, "Did you forgotten that I was once the Assassino's elites? I know about the secret tunnels within the main HQ; also, those securities have no power over me. Beating them is as easy as stomping ants. With this, both me and Byakuran have assembled a small group in secret."
Everyone was shocked, knowing that the people they fought till now are not the real Funeral Wreaths, and this means that there are people that are stronger than they ever imagined. "That's right." Byakuran stated, "I thought that if you met them directly, Shou-chan, the excitement would be too much for you, but there is no need to hide them anymore."
With that, two screens appear behind him, showing twelve people, "Let me introduce you to them." Byakuran introduced, "They are the true Millefiore's six Guardians and Knights the real six Funeral Wreaths and their partners~."
"R-Real Funeral Wreaths?-!" Tsuna cried.
"Yup, they are the real ones chosen by me and Addie for the new world, the real Mare Ring and Mare Knight Ring holders."
"How could that…" Tsuna stuttered, "Then the ones we fought we met so far… Who are they?-!"
"I didn't know!" Irie cried, "There are actually people I didn't know in the Millefiore!"
"Of course not." Adonis stated, "Byakuran had me to take care of that, plus I needed to find mine Mare Knights after all. This is what Byakuran told me is to find not just strong people, but people who have strong 'resolution'. Those who will change their 'resolution' into 'loyalty' towards Byakuran, take this guy for example." He pointed at the one who looks like a red haired priest with small goatee around his mouth as a new screen opened to show a beautiful countryside, "As you see, his hometown love the nature that is so attractive. When I asked him to show me his 'resolution',"
The screen changed to show the same area, but is turned to a hellish nightmare. Volcanoes erupted everywhere, lava bursts from the ground and all plant life around the area is all completely destroyed, "What is this?-!" Tsuna cried. "It looks like a nightmare…" Reborn said grimly.
"He gave up his hometown for me." Byakuran said cheerfully, "It's so scary, this is just something not long ago. I didn't think that just showing his loyalty he would destroy his village and the villagers that brought him up."
Korin managed to get up and noticed the screen, 'This is too much…!' He thought in shock, never thought there is someone that powerful in the Millefiore, someone so powerful to destroy an entire landscape.
"Eh?-! What's that in the lava?-!" Gokudera pointed out. Everyone all looked at the screen closely, noticed there is someone in the lava. "An animal?" Kusakabe asked. The screen was enlarged to show it was the same priest in the lava, naked and taking a bath, whistling away.
"Ah?-! It's that guy! He's whistling!" Tsuna cried, "He's actually taken a bath inside the lava!"
"How could that be…" Kusakabe said in shock. "Should saying this guy isn't human!" Gokudera cried. "Someone that powerful is the enemy… that is not good." Nerio stated.
"Hahaha… Now you know the unique powers of the real six Funeral Wreaths," Byakuran said cheerfully, "besides that, they had 5000 subordinates, plus another 100 A-level soldiers."
"100 A-level soldiers?-!" Spanner cried, "Before the A-level soldiers were only the six of the six Funeral Wreaths!"
"Because there isn't any so we made it." Byakuran stated, "Ah~ It's becoming more interesting!"
"Byakuran-san!-!" Irie shouted, "The match you were saying… what were you planning!-!"
"Should I tell him?" Adonis asked.
"Nah~ Let me." Byakuran stated, "Last time, I was always playing with Shou-chan, do you remember the game named 'Choice'?" Irie was silent, shocked, "I'm planning to make it real."
'Make it real?'
"Details will be informed ten days later." He added, "I won't be moving during that, so rest properly."
"Stop the useless talk." Reborn tells him, "To see such a monster, how could we rest properly?"
"Oh, you're the Arcobaleno Reborn." Byakuran tells them, "Oh, I really want to talk to you more. But you can't escape." Everyone all looked at him in confusion, "The Melone base you are located… is going to disappear."
"Disappear?-!"
"To be accurate, it's because of the Super Ring Transmission System is moving."
"Eh?-! Which means the teleport system using Ring's flames is completed now." Spanner stated. "Nope, it's not, it only works with the object with such frame because it needs lots of time and powers, so in a lifetime you might not even see it once." Byakuran stated, "So, see you in ten days~" He then disappeared, with a blinding light.
"W-What actually happened?-!" Tsuna asked.
"It's teleport!" Irie shouted, "The secret base will fly to somewhere else!"
"W-What?-!"
"What should we do?-!"
"There is no problem! Catch onto something!" Irie shouted.
"Eh?-! No problem?-!"
"Just do as he said!" Korin shouted, dropping to the floor and on top of Mikuri. In the next moment, the entire area just shone in blinding light, everything shook, the ground, the air, everything. After that, everything just calmed down, the light was gone too. Korin got up, as he saw the rest getting up too, grunting in pain.
He then noticed the entire base is gone, left only their area, "What the hell…" He said in shock, before he felt an evil presence under him. He looked down to see Mikuri's blushing face twitching really angrily, as the teen's hand has somehow reached her right blossom and his leg between hers.
"Korin…"
"Ah… Gomenasai…"
*SLAP*
"Ite…" Korin grunted, rubbing his cheek, while everyone all is freaking out, "How the hell are we still here?"
"Because he came here with the Sun Vongolia Ring." Irie stated.
"Hm?"
"WHERE ARE WE TO THE EXTEREME?-!"
Korin tensed at that loud shout, turning to see the present Ryohei in the bed where the future Ryohei was placed, "Ah! That's-!"
"Onii-san from ten years ago!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"We didn't send him here because once he comes here, the Vongolia Rings is gathered." Irie tells them, "I'm sure the last Knight was sent here as well. When its gathered, the rings created a force field that protect us and the system."
"You expected this?" Reborn asked.
"I could guess a little of what Byakuran-san wants to do."
"Onii-san!" Tsuna cried in joy.
"Oh! Sawada! You are still alive!" Ryohei shouted, "When you guys disappeared, I was worried! And where are we?-!"
"Huh?"
"We will explain to you later, please be quiet." Kusakabe stated, "There is no doubt Sasagawa and Sol along with the Sun Rings coming here is valuable, but the situation is not good. Stronger than the previous Funeral Wreaths, how could we fight with our powers as of now…?"
"Then we just have to do it." Yamamoto stated cheerfully, getting up from the bed.
"Y-Yamamoto!" Tsuna cried. "Tch, making people worry…" Gokudera grumbled.
"But to think normally it is a battle with no strategy."Spanner stated.
"What did you say?-!" The bomber shouted.
"Spanner is right!" Reborn stated.
"Damn…" Gokudera grumbled. "That's right…" Tsuna stated. "That Adonis guy is truly powerful; I bet the other twelve are equally powerful…" Korin mumbled.
"No! We can do it!" Irie shouted suddenly, getting everyone surprised attention, "It is because of that, that you guys get through all this, the you that is grown can definitely match them." He walked over to the white machine and opened a small compartment where he punched in a few numbers, "We are not just purely making it hard on you guys… this level of threat was predicted." The center of the device opened, "Now, I'll pass it to you guys…"
"Ah! The Centre of the device has opened!" Tsuna cried.
"Accept it with all your heart!" Irie called out, "The powers granted by the Guardians and Knights of this era!" Twelve arcs of flames came out the machine, reaching to all the respective Guardians and Knights except for Sol, the flames lessened to show twelve boxes, one of each colour of the seven flames of the sky, "The Vongolia Box!"
