Hello, everyone! I'm back with chapter 34! Now everything will be revealed! What secrets does Reah hide?! And will they be able to get Aichi out of the crystal?! Let's find out in this chapter! Let's start!
Normal POV
Naoki and the others were trying to break the crystal.
" It's no use! I can't break it!" Naoki said
" What are you trying to do? One wrong move and he's done for. I'm sure you know that." Reah said
" One wrong move? Meaning?" Naoki ask
Sweat drop.
" I may have said that it is impossible to break but I mean that it's impossible to free the person trapped in there. And even if you manage to break it, it'll be the same as people trapped in ice. One wrong move and they are shattered along with the ice." Reah explained
" Then what do you expect us to do?!" Kamui ask
" Until we've found a way, he'll stay like this. But this is a good thing too. The crystal has a healing property inside it. Let him stay in there since he's been majorly damaged. And this is also another way to keep him from fighting." Reah replied
" I guess when you've said it, it makes some sense..." Misaki said
" Wait a minute! Why should we believe you?!" Naoki ask
" You idiot, Ishida! He's part of the past of Sendou-kun! Of course he knows everything!" Shingo yelled
" Who are you callin' an idiot?!" Naoki yelled
The glaring contest has begun.
" This is not the time to be arguing, kora!" Colonello said and landed on Naoki's head
" Calm down, you two." Fon said and landed on Shingo's head
" A-Alright... J-Just get off of me already..." Naoki said
Both Arcobaleno jumped off their heads.
" You can begin explaining now." Reborn said
" Right. But... There's someone missing." Reah said
" Oh, you mean Ren Suzugamori. Who knows where he is though." Misaki said
" It's fine. I have other ways to tell them too. Then... Let's start." Reah said
" This is going to use up most of the energy that is just restored but... They deserve to know everything." Reah thought
A light engulfed them and when they opened their eyes they were floating in the air and were shown an image.
" Huh? What are we doing here?" A voice said
They looked over to their left and noticed the familiar team.
" Ren Suzugamori! How did you..." Misaki exclaimed
" We were engulfed by a light and then here we are. Where's Aichi-kun?" Ren ask
They noticed Reah.
" Oh, there you are!" Ren said
" The real one is over there." Reah said, and pointed to Aichi
They gasped.
" What happened to him?" Suiko ask
" He did that himself. A big fool, just like me." Reah replied but kept the last part a murmur
" Wait a minute! Where are we?! This isn't Earth!" Naoki exclaimed
They were shown a place full of floating buildings and gardens. Pavilions and pathways were everywhere and behind them was a giant castle.
" That castle was where I used to live in. This whole entire place is called the Elemental Garden." Reah said
" I have one question!" Ren said and raised his hand
" W-What is it?" Reah ask
" Were you married before you were reincarnated?" Ren ask densely
When they looked back at Reah, he was fiddling with his fingers and blushing red.
" W-Why that question out of the blue?! T-This has nothing to do with what I'm trying to say here!" Reah said
" Is it one of us here?" Miwa ask in a teasing manner
Reah blushed even redder at that question.
" B-Be quiet! D-Don't add on to it!" Reah said
" My guess is that it's Nee-chan~" Miwa said
Reah blushed even, even more redder. And Misaki had a shade of pink.
" It can't be... Right?" Misaki ask
" Y-Yes... Y-Your previous name was Misao and..." Reah replied
" Boss Lady, you were married to Aichi when he was in this place!" Naoki teased
" S-Shut up! T-That was unnecessary, Ren Suzugamori!" Misaki shouted
" Oh come on! Don't be mad at me, Misa-ki!" Ren said
" Misaki!"
Reah coughed and their attention was back at his explanation.
" T-To continue what I was saying, the Elemental Garden is a place where people from different clans live in, mainly the Elementio, Fortuna and Shizen clans." Reah explained
" Fortuna?" Naoki ask
" Let me explain all about the clan's characteristics. Firstly, the Shizen clan." Reah said
The image changed to a forest with plants and herbs.
" The Shizen clans has the powers to move the plants and vines. They also had the ability to grow them at instant speed. That's how we always produce the herbs and remedies in here. In combat, they needed a field with mostly greenery, so it wasn't a problem finding them here. Next is the Fortuna clan." Reah said
The image changed to another place filled with books.
" This is a library where the Fortuna clan study in. Their abilities are mainly giving luck to people. But their real job is to balance the luck for people, of course, we didn't want people's lucks to be too unlucky or too lucky. It'll create mass chaos, so the Fortunas balance that by sucking out other people's luck or giving it to them." Reah explained
" Huh?"
" That sounds familiar." Sharlene said
" Ah! Leon-sama said that the mysterious girl gave him some luck by kissing his finger!" Jillian said
" Oh, that's right!" Sharlene said
" Something like that really happened? My guess is that it's one of the Fortunas then. They really like to play around but I'm guessing that at that time it was a serious fight and Leon's resolve was shown." Reah said
" That's why she chose to give him luck?" Aria ask
" Yes. But it also works the other way. If they don't replenish their lucks, it would be disastrous for them. They would turn unlucky themselves because they give too much luck to someone, because of their kindness too. So it also risked their lives. And they couldn't do any combat, unless trained for it." Reah replied
" Then what about the Elementios?" Reborn ask
Reah paused at that question.
" My clan... The Elementios... They were destroyed by a mysterious evil force..." Reah said
They gasped.
" What does that mean?!" Ren ask
" I'll show you. The day of that battle." Reah said
The image changed to battlefield.
" This looks almost like the fight on Cray!" Kamui exclaimed
" Isn't that... Void?!" Misaki exclaimed
" Impossible! Void had invaded your world?!" Ren exclaimed
" Yes. He figured out a way to enter other parallel worlds and invaded ours but also for a different reason too." Reah explained
" A different reason?" Tsuna ask
The image changed again. A man, who they figured was the king, and a woman, who they figured was the queen were standing in a nursery, and in the middle of them was a small baby.
" That's my past mother and father. And that baby is me." Reah explained
" What are they doing?" Gokudera ask
" Just watch." Reah replied
The queen settled the baby down as she wept. The king was comforting her.
" There's no other way. We need to leave everything up to our baby. We need to protect him from that evil force that's attacking our kingdom. That force is aiming for his powers. It's true that newborn Elementios contain remarkable powers, but he's different, we need to protect him at all cost!" The king said
" But I'm worried that he might become lonely!" The queen said
" I know how you feel, but... We've found a few newborns to be his guardians. So he won't be lonely, he'll be happy with his friends." The king said
" But how can a few kids be able to survive in this kind of war? I can't risk it!" The queen said
" I'm sorry to say but... At this rate, he'll be the last survivor of our clan. Our clan is starting to become extinct because of that force. He's our only hope." The king said
" Alright. We'll banish that force from this world. At the cost of our life..." The queen said
She placed a rainbow heart crystal around the baby's neck and they left the room.
" In order to banish that force... They needed to sacrifice their lives?!" Misaki exclaimed
" Yes. They fought that force with their powers. The Elementios specialize in controlling the elements, mainly, fire, water, earth, wind, gravity, ice, and all the other elements that anyone could think of." Reah explained
" Then these ice crystals..." Jillian said
" Yes, they are created using my powers. But you three are still connected." Reah said
" Then what happened to you?" Yamamoto ask
" I survived that war because my father and mother formed a special barrier around me. No darkness could touch me." Reah replied
" You mean that crystal..." Naoki said
" No. The crystal is not one of a kind, all people who live in the Garden will be wearing these crystals. But yes, my crystal had protective powers. And now... I'm going to show you how these came into place." Reah said, showing his ring
The image changed again and this time, it was in a garden full of flowers.
" These flowers are the crystal flowers. I had worked on them when I found out that I could produce flames. That's how those rings came to be. You received those crystals from this garden here. They picked you to use them properly, and those original rings that the Vongola made are not from here. The flames in those rings are pure light without a single darkness." Reah said
There was a boy observing the flowers in the image.
" That boy is me." Reah said
The boy was observing the flowers as the crystals glowed in the sunlight.
" They're growing quite fast." The boy said
" Reah!" A voice called
They turned to the voice and a familiar lavender haired girl came walking.
" That's... Boss Lady?" Naoki said
The girl approached Reah.
" Jeez! Don't run off without telling the guards again! They were frantic when they couldn't find you in your room!" The girl said
" She doesn't change either." Miwa said
" I'm sorry, Misao-san. I wanted to observe these flowers. They are all in full bloom today too." Reah said
" Everyone is waiting for you in the living room. Especially that idiot." Misao said
" Idiot? Who's she talking about?" Ren ask densely
" By Guardians... You don't mean..." Kamui exclaimed
" Yes. The 'idiot' she's talking about is you, Ren." Reah said
" Boss Lady really doesn't change... Even in the past..." Naoki said
" Y-Yeah..." Shingo said
" Yes. I'll be there soon." Reah said
With that, the two left the garden.
" Everything was peaceful and it was really normal for everyone. Until one day, a certain idiot said 'Hey, Reah-kun! Let's go to Earth! I'm sure you're bored with work too!' was what he said. He was the one who wanted to have some fun since he was bored, so he asked me for help. And we went to Earth." Reah said
" That dense attitude..." Suiko said
" That way of talking..." Gokudera said
" There's no doubt about it..." Tsuna said
All eyes averted to Ren. Ren blinked and realized it too.
" Wait a minute! That was me?! I said that to you?!" Ren ask
" Yes, it was you. Your previous name was Ryo. When we went to Earth, in this world, we traveled around and found the Vongola Mansion." Reah said
" You found the Vongola Mansion?!" Skull exclaimed
" Because we were unfamiliar with this world, and what they do, we were totally lost. Actually, we didn't meet the first generation Vongola by accident, it was when I got separated from Ryo. Ryo went dense and I was taken away by a few mafia members. Ryo had went to the Vongola Mansion to look for help and I was saved. But we didn't last our friendship very long with Primo and the others... Something unexpected happened and I had a premonition so I had to end our friendship with Primo and the others before anything goes wrong. And as expected, Void returned. I didn't want to involve the people in the Garden, so like what happened to my father and mother... I sacrificed myself to completely banish Void from my world. But what I didn't expect was that all my friends followed along with me because I would be lonely. We all reincarnated here, and that means, those crystals and the rings didn't choose you guys for no reason. It is to show that everyone that we met here, are all my friends from the Elemental Garden..." Reah said
" We were all from that place?!" Naoki ask
" Except the Arcobaleno and Tsuna and the others, all the people we met, Gouki and his team, Team Caesar, Team SIT, Team Dreadnought, Naoki, Shingo, Misaki, Kamui, Ren, Kai, Miwa, Asaka, Tetsu, Suiko, Kourin, Rekka and all the others friends we have. We were all fated to meet each other sooner or later." Reah said
" It doesn't make sense at all! We were all from the same world but we were born here again?!" Naoki exclaimed
" Then do you know the conditions of the Garden right now?" Shingo ask
" No. But I know that it is safe because two of the people are here to get me back to the Garden. Representatives from Fortuna and Shizen are here." Reah said
" Then those people in those cloaks are..." Tsuna exclaimed
" It must be them." Reah said
" Wait a minute! What do we do there anyways?" Ren ask
" I'm glad you asked. I'll show you. There are different facilities for each members and I'm going to show you a few of what you guys do. First, Naoki." Reah said
The image changed and they were in a room full of research about Storm flames.
" Naoki, you stayed over here at the Storm Room. Each Guardians have different room with themes of their flames. Your room was at the front of the castle but floating, because you requested it since you're always the center of attacks. And you were always passionate about helping out in the garden with me. The fire was your element. Next, it's Shingo." Reah said
Another image appeared and this time the room was filled with medical supplies and different herbs.
" Shingo, you stayed in the Sun Room. You took care of each of your patients by applying medical aid whenever possible. You also took care of the condition of the sun that is in our world. Because, after Void's last invasion, the sun needed to replenish its light energy from your room, which is filled with Sun protective barrier. And you would check the conditions of the sun because it also protects the Earth. The light was your main element. Next, it's Misaki." Reah said
The image changed into an ordinary room filled with lightning equipments.
" Misaki, you would always inspect this place as you check the conditions of the weather on the Earth. Because Naoki would always screw up inside the Storm room and mess with the weathers which caused mass chaos, so she took charge of the weathers with Naoki, and those lightning equipments were for combat and punishments to the ones you called 'idiots'. Your main element was electricity, like lightning and thunder. Next is Kamui." Reah said
The room changed to a orange room. It was filled with things a middle school boy would use.
" Kamui, you inspect the weather conditions too but it wasn't much work like Misaki's, you just had to make rain fall on Earth or maybe leave it to the sun to shine down on Earth. It bored you everyday, so you come to see me frequently and like now, you always called me, 'Brother'. We didn't let you handle a bigger job because it was too hard on you, but you would be also going to another headquarters that was for the seas. You would guide and inspect and help them as much as you can. Your main element was water. Next is Ren." Reah said
The image changed to a indigo room filled with items a dense person would use.
" Ren, you might be dense but you always worked on the defence of the kingdom. It wasn't as bad as you thought but you also create the mist on Earth and work out on illusions to cover sacred places on Earth so they would be unscathed. It was a nice job to you. Your main element is the mist. Next is Kai." Reah said
The image changed to a dark room and as expected of a person who is always having that attitude.
" Kai is always like what he is now. Always having that attitude and Kamui would always be shouting at him for disregarding his duties. But in truth, he would also go to inspect the conditions of the clouds and tell me everything he found. And believe me, when it comes to protecting me, he gets so serious that he would even give a death glare at one of the people in the Garden, even though I told him a thousand times that everyone in the Garden are all innocent. His main element was the cloud." Reah said
" As expected of Kai." Miwa said
" Miwa, you always follow Kai around, like what you always do now. Helping him out however you can. That's what a true friend does and Miwa, if he ever gets lazy, you would help him." Reah said
" Sounds so much like Kai to me!" Miwa laughed
" Jillian, Sharlene, Leon and Gouki and the others along with the two of you, work under the Rain and helps him watch over the seven seas. Gouki and the others would always irritate you guys, but you guys didn't mind that so much and would also pay me frequent visits. One reason is to talk with me and another, to avoid the ruckus everyday." Reah said
" Then what about Tetsu, Asaka and Suiko-san?" Ren ask
" And the others? Like Yuri and the others." Misaki said
" Tetsu is the leader of a guard squad for the Guardians. And even though he sends so many guards to guard Kai's room, Kai would always scare them away. It really troubled him." Reah said
" Then what about me?" Asaka ask
She was anticipating something.
" Okay, I get what you mean. Ren had allowed you and Tetsu to build your homes just beside his room. But since all the Guardians' room are all floating, you guys had to build your houses just below but a bit further from him and Asaka would always visit him without fail unless sick. And she leads a performing act in the Garden and everyone absolutely loved her shows." Reah said
" Then Ultra Rare... Kourin, Rekka and me..." Suiko said
" You three would sing like what you do now. Performing for the kingdom, I could even see your performances from the castle. I really liked listening to the songs whenever I'm troubled by a few work, because Naoki and Shingo always argues and somehow destroy something in the process." Reah said
" And the others?" Kamui ask
" Chris, Lee and Ali has a love for animals and they would go to the forest of the Shizen clan and take care of their animals there daily and after that, they would come over to the castle to talk to me and what adventures they had with the animals. It was fun with them. And... Koutei, Yuri and Gai were the leaders of the police force in the Garden. Although, Yuri as usual would overpower the two guys instead and same as the others, they would pay frequent visits to see me when they were not so busy." Reah replied
" Hey, Reah-kun." Ren said
" What is it?" Reah ask
" I just created a real illusion and everyone you mentioned heard it except for the Reversed fighters. I channeled them here through the crystals." Ren replied
Silence... The other mentioned people were behind them, including Leon.
" H-HUH?!"
" You idiot! How could you let them hear everything?!" Misaki said
" Because they deserve to hear everything. And besides, we're all connected by the crystals, so why not?" Ren said
They noticed Aichi.
" Aichi-kun! What happened to him?!" Koutei exclaimed
" He... Well... It's hard to explain in our case..." Naoki said
" We heard everything! Please, tell us what happened!" Chris said
" It's simple. Sendou did this to himself to protect the world from mass chaos." Leon said
" What do you mean?" Yuri ask
" He has the powers to open the gates to the parallel worlds, which now Void can't do. So if Void can use him, it's over for all the worlds." Reah replied
" Isn't there any way to bring him back to normal?!" Nagisa ask
" Please, you know something for sure! Please tell us!" Rekka said
" I don't know. There hasn't been a cure for it yet. It's no use." Reah said and shook his head
" No! There must be a way!" Koutei said
" We've tried every way we can. None of our powers work." Misaki said
" I'll try." Reah said
" Reah?" Naoki ask
" If I can use some of my powers, I might be able to bring him back." Reah replied
" But..."
" The Rainbow flames are different. I might be able to do it." Reah said
He placed both his hands out and a light injected into Aichi's crystallized pacifier.
" Aichi! Please... Just wake up. You still have something you have to do..." Reah said
He went down on his knees.
" Reah!"
" I'm fine..." Reah said
He stood back up and continued. The crystal had started to disappear and Aichi's right arm was free.
" It's working!" Lee said
" Don't give up!" Gai said
Reah was almost at his limit. Aichi's arm started moving.
" What are you doing?!" Miwa exclaimed
A beam shot out and hit Reah.
" Stop... You're... already... at your... limit..." Aichi managed to say
" But... You..." Reah said
" Please! Stop it, Aichi! Please let him continue!" Misaki said
" No... At this rate..." Aichi said
Reah continued to insert the light and the pacifier glowed and Reah was knocked back.
" What's wrong?!" Naoki ask
" He rejected me. I can't get my powers through." Reah replied
" Why are you doing this?!" Yuri ask
Aichi's eyes started to close again as the crystallizing started again.
" No! Don't close your eyes!" Miwa shouted
" Aichi-kun!" Ren shouted
" AICHI!"
A glow shined above them and landed on Reah's palm.
" This is..." Reah exclaimed
" The Rainbow Key?!" Kamui exclaimed
" Hurry! Put this on him! Before the crystal completely covers him again!" Reah shouted
Misaki immediately took the key and dashed towards Aichi and placed the Rainbow Key around his neck. Aichi started to glow and the crystal disappeared as Aichi was now freed.
" It worked!" Naoki said
" What a relief!" Shingo said
" The Key was able to free him, kora!" Colonello said
" What a relief." Fon said
" Now we can rest easy." Skull said
" What are you talking about? Now that he is free, we need to protect him." Verde said
" There might be some hitmans here later, be careful." Aria said
" Oh dear, more work without pay to do." Mammon said
" Yeah. Once we go back, there might be hitmans that were hired. Be careful, everyone." Reborn said
Silence...
" THE BABIES TALKED?!"
" Oh dear. They are too surprised for their own sakes." Mammon said
" Actually, we noticed but we were too afraid to say a single thing. But..." Jillian said
" Now it's kind of scary..." Sharlene said
" Now that he is freed and I have explained everything... And now that all the keys are here. The Rainbow heart crystal is finally back to its original form. Thank you, everyone. Now I need to go. I used up all my powers, so I need to rest. Take care of him. Bye." Reah said
They were back in front of the building and the others were gone too.
" We're back." Naoki said
" Sendou-kun! Are you alright?!" Shingo ask
" He's still sleeping. Let him rest." Misaki said
" Yes."
" Alright! Let's protect Brother!" Kamui said
" Yeah!"
And that's all for this chapter! Thank you for reading and bye bye! I'll see everyone in the next chapter! Don't forget to review!
