Hayate was pushed to the ground by Gilbert's chains. For the past eight hours, he fought against Gilbert's Raven. He lost approximately 3,245 fights. He was tired, dehydrated and just plain exhausted. He looked up to see Gilbert standing. He was spotless. Hayate was unable to land a hit on him just yet. Chains were striking him at every angle. The weapons Hayate called out only lasted five minutes. Only one weapon went overtime. The Shield of the Lion's Heart lasted 32 minutes with Gilbert. But Hayate was still unable to land a hit.
They were currently on break due to Gilbert's appetite. Hayate sat down next to Gilbert. Nate handed them both plates of chicken curry and white rice. Hayate looked around to see Reborn nowhere in sight. Gilbert explained Reborn left to check on the others. It was around evening time so Hayate was able to see the sun sets down.
Nate groaned. "We're not staying the whole night are we?" He demanded an answer.
Gilbert smirked. "Don't worry my assistant; you can go to the Decimo's house at 11. I'm staying over at Hayate's house."
"You're sleeping in my room!" Hayate pouted.
"We're in a teacher-student relationship now." Gilbert drank his can of beer.
Nate sipped his drink. "That sounds so wrong Boss." Nate looked at his phone. His eyes went big. "Great, Selena already arrived with Mukuro. I could have picked her up!"
"There is no need to dwell on the past." Gilbert said. "There are other girls to fuck."
Nate sneered at him. "Shut up Boss."
Hayate stared at them. "You guys are cool."
"You're kidding right?" Nate asked. Gilbert laughed out loud. "Shut up! You're not cool! You're the opposite of cool!" Nate yelled at him.
Hayate laughed. "So Gilbert-san, what will we do next?"
Gilbert stopped chuckling. "Well, you're getting better than I expected. But you need to have better control of the weapons. You need to get better stamina. If you follow my strict regime then in ten days you'll bound to land a hit on me." Gilbert ripped out a sheet of paper. "Reborn will supervise your jogs and exercise workouts. You will have to run around Namimori a couple of times and wake up super early. I will collect your data and try experiments in quickly improve your conditions. You should ask Alice about your weapons. Since she is the source of power, she will know best."
"But she hates me." Hayate told him. "I think she does. The moment lunch was over she went back to the ring. She said I don't really care about your training you asshole. She hates me."
"But she kissed you so you better live with the tough love." Gilbert said. "She will help you. Trust me on it."
"Don't trust him." Nate mentioned. "He'll leave you in a deserted island for a whole month in order to gather data on the nature human being research."
"You're still on that?" Gilbert laughed.

"Wake up!" Reborn splashed water at Hayate's face.
Hayate screamed as the cold water rushed through his system. "You bastard!" Hayato flung out several bombs in his sleep. Reborn cut it all down before it would explode. Reborn looked at the still asleep like a baby Hayate.
"Time for Plan B." He smirked. "Wake up!" He jumped onto the pulley. He pulled it down, revealing the wires connected to the dynamite under Hayate's bed. Hayate woke up to the smell of dynamite. He immediately jumped out right before the bed exploded. "You're just what I expected from Smoking Bomb Hayato's son."
"Shut up!" Hayate rubbed his eyes. "My parents did this all the time when I was younger so I'm used to it." Hayate grabbed his towel. "I'm going to a shower now." He walked to his bathroom. Reborn smirked. "AH!" Hayate screamed and ran out of the bathroom. "Why is there an alligator in my shower?"
"It's part of your training." Reborn told him.
Hayate sighed. "At least it's not poisonous snakes." He said. He opened his drawer to see poisonous snake roaming around his boxers. "I spoke too soon." He shut the drawer tightly. "Mom! I need some clothes." He ran out of his room to see his mother coming down from the attic.
Madeline opened the box she was carrying. She grabbed out several articles of clothing. "These are your Dad's old clothes. They might fit you." She told him.
Hayate looked through the box. "They're so punk. Dad, were you a delinquent?" He yelled.
Gokudera walked out his bedroom to see his wife and son sitting around a box of old clothes. "Tch, I thought we donated the clothes."
"No one wants your old dirty clothes. Especially this…" Madeline held out a shirt of Godzilla.
"I want it!" Hayate grabbed it out of her hands.
Madeline scoffed. "Like father, like son." Gokudera and Hayate smiled at each other.

Hayate gulped down several bottle of waters. He ran around Namimori but he never expected it would take a lot of work. He was completely exhausted. He looked over at Reborn who was beside him. Reborn didn't need to a break a sweat since he was flying over Hayate and shooting at him if he fell asleep.
"So what is next?" Hayate threw the bottle into the trash.
"Give me 50 pushups now." He demanded.
Hayate wrapped a towel around his neck and got on the ground. He did his pushups with three books stacked on him. Onlookers stared at him weirdly. They whispered into each other ears for gossip. Hayate recognized some students from school. He wondered if he'll see Ryu walking by. He knew the others were hard at training. They haven't contacted each other after the meeting. Hayate haven't seen his friends at all. Reborn jumped on the books, telling him to go faster. Hayate finished his pushups. He walked over to the vending machine to get a drink. He thudded his head to see his favorite rice drink sold out.
"Here." A familiar voice said.
Hayate turned around to see the famous Yin Roku standing in front of him. He gasped like a fan girl. Roku-senpai never talked to Hayate unless he was pulling Li away. His mind was going hay wired. The first guy to ever beat Sakura is talking to me! He squealed silently.
Yin handed Hayate a can of Rice Drink. "I vended one but out came two. I was going to give one to Li but he hasn't been contacting me. Do you know why?"
"OH! He is my Lightning guardian. We're all going through training." Hayate said.
Yin smirked. "So that's why Hei asked me to do that." He realized. Hayate wondered what he is talking about. Yin looked back at Hayate. "Well good luck with whatever thing you guys are doing. I'll see you around Gokudera-kun."
"Ok, I'll see you around Roku-senpai." Hayate waved him goodbye.
Reborn jumped on his shoulder. "Who was that?" He wondered.
Hayate smiled. "That is the most popular guy in school, Yin Roku. He has a fan club and all of the female population loves him except for Sakura. She hates his guts."
"Oh really?" Reborn smirked.
"That was because he beat her in fight last year. He was a transfer student from the north. Principal Hibari ordered him to cut his hair but Roku-senpai said no. So in order to keep his hair, he had to fight Sakura. We all thought he would lose but he ended up beating her. It turned out he is a black belt. That was when Yin Roku became famous in Namimori. If he wasn't an alien I would so want him to be my guardian."
"Hiro is an alien."
"Yeah but he was experimented. An alien is a completely normal person who has no connections to the mob!" Hayate revealed. "Roku-senpai is so cool."
"Well, it's time to fight. We better leave now." Reborn told him.
"Yes Sir!" Hayate saluted him.
Reborn glanced at Yin walking away from them. "It's no doubt. He is-"
"Hey what are you talking about?" Hayate cried. "Let's go!"

Hayate sat down in pretzel style. He folded his hands and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he found himself in a different place within the ring. He got up and walked around. He was in a quiet and serene place. He was at a beach, sitting in the sand. He looked around to see if Alice was around. He closed his eyes around. A sweet smell triggered his senses. He got up and followed the sound. It smelled like meat. He found the smell coming from a white boarded beach house. He walked up the steps and quietly walked on the porch. He could see through the wide windows of what was going on. His eyes widen. Alice was inside a kitchen, grilling tons of meat.
He opened the door and walked in. Alice noticed him. She smeared sauce on the freshly grilled beef sticks. She shoved a piece into her mouth. She smiled. "This is delicious. Do you want one?" She held one up.
"You can make food here?" Hayate asked.
"Well, duh, this is my world. I can make anything I want." Alice told him. "The ring was form by the seven flames of the sky and my power. The seven flames utilized my power, making it last indefinitely with this ring."
Hayate grabbed a skewer of meat. "So how did they utilize your power to create weapons? Are you a mist flame?" He asked.
Alice shook her head. "I never thought about what flame I was."
"Was?" Hayate said. "Why are you using past tense?"
Alice silently ate her meat. She wiped the sauce off her mouth. "In order to keep my power, they used my blood."
"Oh." Hayate realized. "So you really are a spirit. You must have lived until you were like 80 years old."
Alice chuckled. "Do you want something? I can tell you're not here to eat fake meat."
"This is not real meat?" Hayate shouted. "You are a mist flame user!"
"Nope." Alice shook her hand. "I think of myself as an all seven flames user."
"Cool. My Dad has five flames. I think you're the first person I met who has all flames. Not even Uncle Tsuna has all and he's powerful." Hayate told her.
"Well, let's move on." Alice said. "What do you want?"
Hayate sighed. "Gilbert-san said you can help me with weapons."
"Oh that." Alice shook her hand. She clapped her hands. The scene changed from a kitchen to a large storage room. The walls were miles high and wide. The lockers were all white and glass. Hayate looked at the room in awe. Alice snapped her fingers, grabbing Hayate's attention. Out came a white clipboard in Alice's hand. She walked forward with Hayate right behind her. She flipped through the papers. "There are many ranks within my weapons. The ones you conjured up were E-Rank weapons." She turned around. "E-Rank weapons do not last long and are pretty useless. Those weapons were created the thoughts of weak willed people. Do not make anymore. I cannot handle the abundance." She stopped at a section, showing off the mass variety of E-Rank weapons. She stared at Hayate. "At your level, you can probably handle B-Rank and C-Rank weapons."
"What about S-Rank weapons?" Hayate asked.
Alice looked at him seriously. "Do you want to die?" Hayate was silent. "You should be quiet. S-Rank weapons can be very dangerous. I should know. I made them when I was alive. That was when my power was the strongest."
"What about Angie-san?" Hayate asked. "What rank is she?"
"She was made with the great mind of the Scientist. She falls into the S-Rank since she is the first human ever made." Alice said.
"Then doesn't make you her mother?" Hayate asked.
Alice punched him in the face. "Let's continue." She walked forward, leaving Hayate behind. Hayate ran up to her, walking side by side. Alice stopped. With a sudden movement, the walls shifted entering into the B-Rank weaponry. She looked at Hayate. Hayate freaked out, wondering what's next. She smirked. A drawer popped out in front of Alice. She looked inside. "Now I think this weapon is good for this certain battle."
"What?" Hayate said.
"You better not disappoint me. This type of weapon is quite handy against the Raven." Alice revealed.
"What is handy?" Hayate asked.
She took out the weapon from the box. A dark light shined within, breaking the box into little pieces. Hayate stared in awe of the weapon. Alice gently touched the black unicorn's silky hair. She looked at Hayate. "This girl is Eques."
"Amazing…" Hayate uttered.
Alice smirked. "Beat Seaweed Head, Hayate…"
