The Final Chapter of Arc 3! No words are needed my noodle, read on!

Besides the fact I stayed up until 4am working on this since like 7 XD!

NOW READ ON NOODLE!


Everyone was quiet as they listened. It seems that Rosabella especially did not want this moment to come by the look on her face as she asked for Kyoko's hands for her to hold. Giotto asked for Tsuna's as well and together they all held hands as Sky flame surrounded Giotto and Tsuna's while all the flames of the sky surrounded Rosabella's and Kyoko's.

"I will get straight to the point. Tsuanyoshi, Kyoko, and his guardians. The truth is, the fact that we exist before you is clearly no mere coincidence or work of magic or a trick. We are able to live because long ago I made the decision. When Desparaze killed hundreds of men by himself it became clear to me that we weren't going to be able to defeat him. I needed a way to ensure that we would be able to come back one day…when a generation we all deemed worthy could stand up to the feat I knew we would be needed once again to guide them. That is when Kawahira approached me and offered me a dusky deal. The Soul Exchange Pact as he called it…his race had developed it which aided in the longevity of their lives….what that was…and what I accepted without hesitation despite what the pact entitled…" Giotto stopped as he saw everyone's expressions and the expressions of his own family that anticipated this moment. He continued and said, "That was the sacrifice of hundreds more lives to grant us the ability to come back to life just once," Giotto said.

His words broke the atmosphere as no one could believe what he just said. Especially Tsuna whose view of Vongola Primo, Giotto, his ancestor would do such a thing. What he meant was that for him to come back he made a deal with Kawahira the man shrouded in mystery and darkness. Kawahira's deal was that in the exchange for living bodies, human lives… Hundreds of people for each member of the Vongola, Kawahira would grant them the ability to come back to this world.

"You….did what….that means…so many people…" Tsuna mumbled.

Giotto quietly said, "Died. Indeed. And not by their choice either. But I had no choice…I didn't know what the future held in store for us. And once the deal was made Kawahira went ahead and offered to do the deed himself. At the time Kawahira was a very dark man…he had recently separated from Sepira due to their difference in their views on humans. He even planned once to get rid of as many as he could to spite Sepira for her ways. This deal was due to that part about him. That part that held a strong hatred humanity. And once he finished…his work. He came to me years later when I had stepped down as boss and long before moved to Japan. He informed me that the deal was completed and when the time came we would use the Vongola rings to bring ourselves back with the help of the Sky Arcobaleno's power. I was ashamed at what I had done…but it was already done. Hundreds of people were killed and offered their bodies up to bring us back to this world with the Vongola agreeing to not intervene. But I had hoped it wouldn't have to come to our revival as I tried to stop Desparaze…and the battle's outcome would result in me managing to seal him and his guardians in ice…in our final battle before he managed to end all our lives…"

"Wait…!" Kyoko said which made Giotto stop. Kyoko looked quite angry and her eyes were filled with tears. It almost looked like she was prepared to hit Giotto if it wasn't for her fists behind held in Rosabella's hands. "You….approved violence…murder…so much death for the sake of having another chance at life?! You allowed him to kill so many people! How could you allow that? And this Kawahira, who was Checkerface…he did all of this in the past…all because he didn't like humans. And you knew this…and allowed him to do so! I cannot accept that! I can't accept such a ridiculous reason to commit such an act!"

Tsuna looked to Kyoko and then back to Giotto who said nothing. G wanted to defend Giotto but Giotto stopped him. Giotto knew how Tsuna and the others would react this way to the truth and believed everyone held right to hate him for his actions. He knew what he did…was terrible. It seems before any other Vongola Boss sinned, he was the first. Which is why he supported Tsuna's choice…to destroy the Vongola instead of accepting the dark past it had. Because he himself could not accept his own part in the Vongola's dark history. The boss that only wanted peace ended up helping the world towards destruction in more ways than one.

Kyoko then looked to Rosabella who also had teary eyes, "And you….you are also brought back this way? You approved of this?"

Rosabella took a deep breath and said, "No…I am not. I am not part of that deal that was made. As Giotto said we did not even meet until he came to Japan. I was not a part of that deal. But instead I am part of a much darker arrangement. In fact I may be something much less…human. For the truth…the truth is…"

Rosabella struggled to speak as she knew everyone was looking at her. She felt like she was in a cage again until she finally just said, "Desparaze used to have a woman who was his lover. That woman…Arianna whom he had a deep connection with pushed him to be that way. She was his sole light in the world and the only thing that allowed him to keep a hold of his humanity. And because of his lust for her Desparaze went and tried to find whatever ways he could…to bring her back to life. And though I do not know exactly how…he found a way to do so. He found a group of sinister and intelligent people that would be the beginning of the Estraneo Famiglia."

Mukuro's eyes widened when he heard the name of that famiglia. His fists tightened as he felt a burning sensation in his right eye. Chrome was also surprised that name came up and listened carefully to Rosabella.

It was then Kyoko said, "That means…you're…those experiments that was done on you…the experiments Desparaze did…that would mean you're…"

"Arianna? Yes…I am her. But, not exactly her. I am one of many women who was experimented on to become her. My appearance, memories, and perhaps even my personality is all hers. I am Arianna, G's sister, but only in spirit. My true appearance and identity is gone…I have no idea who I once was for that is all lost to me. Who I once was, that was stplen from me along with anything else of my original body and personality. Desparaze and the Estraneo…somehow stole everything that once belonged to whoever originally owned this body. Look at me, I don't even know who is speaking right now. I have no idea who my family was….what I liked…hated…all of those attributes within me are all Arianna's. now I am essentially…the spiritual reincarnation of Arianna. So it's hard to say actually…who I am. I am currently Rosabella Sawada, the wife of Giotto and Maiden of the Vongola, who was given Arianna's soul if that…is an acceptable answer."

"Ari…Arianna?" Haru said in shock. The resemblance was uncanny and now that she said it, it was as clear as day who she was. "But…then what about the maiden powers? Arianna could not…I mean the Arianna we saw did possess that power so where are the origins of the Maiden?"

"Well, you are correct…Arianna…did not have the power of Maidens. That power…was also founded by Desparaze who tried to grant such a power to the many women he experimented on with the Estraneo. It was a very high risk procedure that was very painful, painful enough any grown woman would pass out from the pain alone in seconds…only to awaken again from the sheer wounding pain over and over again in a cycle. They tested many women for someone compatible with the powers installed into a single ring, but all of the attempts failed…until I came around that is. I don't know how many died when they tried to receive the power…the rings we wear…they grant the power to only women have the qualities to become a maiden. And the main quality needed is to have a soul close to the sheer kindness that Arianna once possessed. The woman Desparaze called…his maiden. And I have no idea, why he wanted to create the Maiden powers. That is still a mystery to us," Rosabella finally told them all.

Kyoko and Haru along with everyone else was silent for a moment. But it seems Sora and Akuma did not want to wait anymore.

Akuma shouted, "What the Hell! So this guy…Desparaze…and you the Vongola Primo! You both did some really fucked up shit then…! What the Hell!? Who gave any of you the right to play around with human lives? Me and my sister…we're some sort of freaks! Why do we have this power then? Huh? We don't even have a God damn family anymore! What the Hell are we then?"

Alaude answered Akuma and said, "That…we don't know. Desparaze holds the final answers to questions like that: How did he gather the ability to create the powers of the Maiden? How did the conflict he brought about spawned new Dying Will Flames in the world? What are his goals and what does he seek…? Those are questions you must find for yourself unfortuntely."

Akuma growled at the group and kept silent as he balled his hands into fists. Sora attended to her brother as Tsuna's heart weighed heavily with guilt.

"But…one question we can answer is how he grew so strong. And the answer to that…is the trial we have performed on you all."

"The trials we all went through…?" Hibari asked.

Giotto then said, "Yes. But if I may, allow me to continue with what I was saying now that Rosabella has said her part. I will explain what these trials were all for. These trials, are trials that was developed for humans by the ancient race known to us as the Original Ones, the very same as Kawahira and Sepira. The race that existed before humans did on this planet. They existed for a quantity of years that stretch far beyond what I can even guess. But when the first humans appeared onto this world the Original Ones split into two sides like they did with Sepira and Kawahira. One side who wanted to coexist with humans, and the others who wanted us gone. For at first only humans could use the mysterious power of Dying Will Flames that was thought to be a gift from the sky and Earth itself. The flames discovered by man as all ancient stories tell of. However this made humans a threat to the Original Ones who couldn't use that power. Thus conflict rose between both sides for years. Until as I was told by Sepira herself, that a way was formed by the side that wished to coexist with humans for only humans to take. This trial was developed to help humans realize their full potential and put an end to the conflicts between both sides. As you know these trials help one accept that which one does not wish to accept. And at the time these trials focused on sole aspects of humanity the Original Ones wished to weed out: Arrogance, Lust, Greed, Pride, and Wrath. The few humans that passed the trials were able to overcome the other side of the war and eliminated the side that wished to destroy them which made way for an era of peace..."

Tsuna thought about this for a moment before saying, "Wait. Then…why is it that Kawahira and Sepira were the last ones of their race? What happened to everyone else? The side that supported humanity?"

Giotto replied, "Humans. Once they obtained this power they plotted to turn on those who once stood by them, the Original Ones. They turned on the side that wished only to help them. They too were eliminated by humans for humans didn't trust the Original Ones. Humans wanted to be the only race on Earth, the superior race." Everyone looked shocked to hear such a horrendous things. An entire species, eliminated just like that. "There were only five Original Ones left but eventually only Sepira and Kawahira were the last of their race as time went on. Both from the two different sides of the conflict with humans. They went into hiding and lived as humans ever since and learned to use Dying Will Flames themselves. They had no choice but learn quickly since humans did not realize the Original Ones preserved the world with the Tri-Ni-Set. It was the Original Ones who created the Tri-Ni-Set to preserve the world and humans nearly destroyed that. And that very balance has now been severed by Desparaze with the death of Bermuda the Arcobaleno whom was a key part to Tsuna's plan to save the Arcobaleno from their fate."

Reborn looked down as he tipped his hat over his eyes. Tsuna then felt even worse from all of this as he remembered Reborn's fate…was to die. Unless he can find a new way to restore the Tri-Ni-Set but without the night flame in the world anymore how was Tsuna supposed to do that? He has been thinking about a solution for a while but he could not come up with any other ideas. Was Reborn's fate already sealed? After everything they went through?

Mukuro then said, "Right…so even if we defeat the Giobbani. The world will end when the Arcobaleno die from their pacifiers. Without the Flame of the Night to preserve Tsuna's plan. Unless…more Arcobaleno are made which I would not doubt that Kawahira is somewhere waiting for this to blow over to do just that."

Giotto nodded his head and responded, "Yes, that is true. No doubt Kawahira will do whatever it takes to preserve the world of his people. But this trial could be a means to an end for that as well. As this trial…will give you the power that humans possessed long ago. And that power is to be able to wield the full strength of your flames. For Dying Will Flames originally were much, much more powerful than they are now. The flames we all possess as they are now are not at their true power."

"What…? The Dying Will Flames…aren't?" Gokudera said in surprise.

"Indeed," Giotto said. "They were weakened by the conflict years ago and as humanity grew the need for the flames died out. However, when I first went to Sepira for her help to face Desparaze and she told me all which I already told you. She told me of the truth of the Dying Will Flames and explained the trial I learned of will be the way to unlock them once again. However, the price we have to pay to finish it…will also be quite…"

Haru snapped at Giotto, "Large? You mean we will also have to risk people's lives? Will more people have to die because of all this? I barely understand what is going on anymore!"

"Haru…" Tsuna said.

"No," Ugetsu suddenly said. "But every guardian including myself and every boss of the past of the Vongola will disappear forever. We will become sacrifices. Once Tsuna and Kyoko receive their marks, our soul and bodies will become Dying Will Flames themselves. We will then become a part of your flames and grant you guys the ability to use the True Dying Will Flames."

Everyone looked at one another before Yamamoto set his sister down for a moment on the ground before he then walked over to Ugetsu. He looked down as he then said, "I understand now. Why you all acted like these were your final moments. Doing this trial…all the trials means you will never be able to pass on to the next life. We will never receive your help again or any other Vongola members of the past. You guys will disappear forever."

"And never come back?" Gokudera exclaimed.

"Yes. We will now live within your flames. The trial requires 'noble sacrifices for the purest of flames'" G said as he eyed the group.

"You will all disappear…?" Lambo asked.

"Yes. This is truly the end of the Vongola. Bummer huh?" Lampo said with a smirk.

"Never to be seen again…" Ryohei said.

"Yup! This is the end of our lives…to the maximum! But don't worry about us. I don't believe in all that nonsense that our live swill be over just like that. Besides we lived our lives already and we enjoyed what part of life we already got to experience. Our time has long since passed. Not many people can say they lived twice! It will be like taking a very long nap!" Knuckles said, smiling.

Tsuna looked up to Giotto and then at Rosabella and Kyoko. "So…when you wanted us to accept what we don't wish to accept. It was all leading up to this wasn't it Giotto? The thing we all couldn't accept…is truly ending your lives."

"Yes…that is true. We knew the burden would be great so we didn't tell you until now. But you have a choice. I and Rosabella, and all my guardians have deemed you all worthy. But I ask of you now. Do you deem yourself worthy of being a true successor of the sky? Tsunayoshi Sawada and Kyoko Sasagawa? For you to become a boss…a leader…a savior…you must accept great power and responsibility," Giotto said to them.

Tsuna looked to Kyoko who looked back to him. The intense feelings within both of their hearts was enough to bring out the connection between their rings. They stared at the other for a moment until the rings they both wore lit up in a small light. They could then feel what the other was feeling just like during the end of the Maiden Trial and the Arcobaleno trial when Tsuna fought Reborn. Tsuna and Kyoko could communicate with no one else knowing besides Haru who was wearing the other ring. In that moment Haru let Kyoko and Tsuna discuss among themselves what they were going to do, and the decision didn't take long.

They came to and Tsuna and Kyoko looked Giotto and Rosabella in the eyes and said, "Yes."

And so the flames around their hands burned the markings of the Sky on the back of Tsuna and Kyoko's hands. And in that moment everyone's rings lit up as the sky above them gathered weird symbols in the sky. Symbols that resembled the markings on their hands were formed above each member of the current Vongola excluding Chrome and Haru.

"What is going on?" Haru asked as she saw the sky with the symbols floating above them. Powerful winds began to blow past them that Sora could barely shield them against. The world began to shake as the trees around them were dancing in its wind.

Then out of thin air guardians of the Vongola's past appeared as ghosts surrounding the current guardians.

Tsuna looked around and saw behind Giotto was every single Vongola Boss of the past with their hands on Giotto's back with flames on their foreheads. The same went for Alaude, Ugetsu, Knuckles, Lampo Daemon Spade, and G as previous guardians appeared and encircled the current guardians. All around them was Vongola history itself as every single guardian and boss was in attendance. Even the ninth generation was there with the Vongola Nono standing beside Giotto in the same form as those in a attendance.

"Grandpa! You too…you have to do this was well?" Tsuna cried out when he saw Vongola Nono. The tall, elderly man laughed as he looked to Tsuna and patted him on the head.

"Oh you have grown so much Tsuna. Hoho, do not be sad young one. I have lived for a long time, longer than any other boss. I think it is quite all right that I go as well. You be sure to take good care of yourself and your family and friends. Ah, and keep an eye on Xanxus will you? He can be angry and perhaps still hold resentment for me but he is loyal to the Vongola nonetheless. Understand me Tsuna?"

"Grandpa…" Tsuna said, as tears fell from his eyes.

It was then that Giotto called out to everyone in attendance as the world shook violently and the sky wrecked within itself!

"Vongola! This will be the end of a family that has seen the darkest skies, and the longest days of strife and torment! But today, marks the Vongola's end and the birth of a new Vongola led by the next generation! Today, is the day we make our stand to put our bloody past behind us for a clean slate. Our purpose when we were formed was to make a peaceful world. Now, the true goal of the Vongola will be achieved at last! Today, is the day the Vongola will gain the power to stop the Giobbani and put an end to them once and for all! Let these words go with you all, let these words rest in your heart and never let go of them for in our blood and soul is the very fire of the Vongola itself! WE. ARE. VONGOLA!"

The symbols in the sky shined down upon Tsuna and his friends as flames slowly encompassed their bodies.

Lampo walked up to Lambo and showed Lambo that the mark on his hand was glowing. Lampo said to Lambo, "In the end you're still an annoying brat. But no matter what happens to you. You will always bear this power even if time is against you. Because only Lambo, as a child or an adult, will always be the man with the power to protect his friends. Do well kid. See ya."

Then Lampo faded into Lambo along with the previous lightning guardians. Then a bolt of lightning shot from the lightning symbol in the air above Lambo and struck him. Lambo felt a high amount of electricity go into his body that felt like he was a living embodiment of energy. Lambo collapsed to the ground with the high amount of power within him Lambo felt his fingers trembling he felt a new found power in his hands. His eyes turned bright green with sparks flying out of his eyes.

"What…is this…power…?" Lambo mouthed as he looked at his hand coated in sparks of electricity.

Next, Alaude approached Hibari and walked to his side. The two didn't look the other in the eye and it almost looked like neither would say anything at all. Then Alaude said, "Never forget what your greatest strength is Kyoya. Your might is great, but do not let your thirst for power overrun your very being. You are a cloud that cannot be tied down. So never let power and…anger be what brings you down Kyoya. Fight until you reach the top, so the weak can reach the top as well."

Alaude and the past cloud guardians then flowed into Hibari as flames. Hibari felt the power of cloud flames flow through him as a cloudy flame spiraled down from the symbol above him and travelled inside of his being. The power was tremendous and caused him to nearly drop to his knees. His eyes shined a cloudy purple as he felt his new power come over him.

After Hibari was Ryohei who had Knuckles hug him in a tight embrace of manliness and tears. Knuckles and Ryohei cried into the other arms and Ryohei did not want to see one his greatest boxing teachers go away. Knuckles laughed and said, "Don't worry Ryohei! You are a strong man! You can use your fists to protect anyone who needs you! Any man to put up their fists and fight, but only a great man can use their fists to protect another. Never forget to live your life….TO THE MAXIMUM!"

Knuckles and Ryohei bumped fists as Knuckles and the previous sun guardians flowed into Ryohei. A bright beam of light, brighter than the sun itself shone on Ryohei and gave him a powerful and natural energy in his body. His eyes flashed a golden yellow with sun flames coming out through his fists all on their own!

"I….will live my life….Knuckles-senpai!" Ryohei shouted.

As Yamamoto looked at his friends he noticed it was his turn as Ugetsu smiled at him. Yamamoto tried his hardest to put a smile on as Ugetsu sighed.

"Ah, farewells are always such a sad part of life. But it is a part of life that everyone will go through. You have experienced such partings in the deepest ways Yamamoto and I feel that because of that you are quite strong. I want you to do your best to fight for your friends' happiness as you always have Yamamoto. Smile, laugh, and enjoy life…even if it rains on the happiest of days my friend," Ugetsu went into Yamamoto as did the past rain guardians. A quick frenzy like shower of rain flame droplets came down on Yamamoto and inside the pouring of rain flames Yamamoto gained his true power with the gentle light of his blue eyes.

Mukuro was face to face with Daemon Spade and it was going as expected between these two.

"Pineapple head…" Daemon and Mukuro both said to the other.

Daemon snickered as he said "You're a down right terrible person Mukuro Rokudo. You wish to destroy the mafia and bring the Vongola down to its knees. Even to this very day. However, perhaps when it is destroyed you will aid in bringing it back up. I mean you are getting your very wish now that will be the end of the Vongola. However, even our destruction is a mere illusion for the Vongola is too strong to die out…it exists in everyone here…including you. But enough of my rambling, I am weary of all this. My Elena is waiting for me, which reminds me, take good care of that girl that is oh so fond of you. For behind the misty façade of humanity's evil…there are those with hearts that are truly real. Do your best to protect at least that."

Mukuro looked over to Chrome who stared at him, and shied away when Mukuro's eyes caught her glance. It was then that Daemon faded into Mukuro with the previous mist guardians. It produced hallucinations within his mind as the power filled his body. His left eye glowed with a misty purple.

"That…damn Daemon…" Mukuro said, sporting the tiniest of smirks. He hated to admit it but some small part of him held respect for the man.

And then G stood in front of Gokudera and looked at him closely. The two stared the other down and it seemed like G didn't know what to say. So Gokudera spoke instead, "G…I never knew how much our burdens were so similar. To have to go each day with a person who is so close to your own sister…and yet not be her. To have to bear such a painful feeling when it comes to your own family. I would like to say I am sorry."

"Heh," G replied. "Indeed. It is only fitting that the right hand man bears troubles as great as the boss he serves. It was truly a difficult life…my Arianna…she is gone. Yet in Rose, I see her no matter where I look. But I did not let that stop me or change anything. As you should not let anything else stop you Gokudera. The strongest storms bring down the strongest of statures, and yet at the eye of it still brings calm to all those that dwell within it. Be the storm that protects those who lie within your own calm Gokudera."

With that G went inside of Gokudera and then the past storm guardians followed suit. From the symbol in the sky came the storm flames that shot into Gokudera with a destructive force. His eyes flashed red in a similar fashion to the others.

As her spiritual brother disappeared forever Rose shed tears as she looked to Kyoko with Haru close by. She went in and to hug them both, she held them so tightly. "You two, are such magnificent girls. I love you both…so dearly! You two are like my own daughters…and the time we spent together are one of my most precious memories. Because…it was during that time I did not…feel like I was just come copycat of someone else. I was Rosabella Sawada, the maiden. The teacher who brought up the next generation of powerful female fighters for the Vongola! With that…I leave behind a legacy inside the both of you. Go, go and be the strong young women you both have become. Kyoko, take care of Tsuna and support him no matter what. He has my blood in him after all… It is these times a man needs a woman's touch to keep them going. And Haru, go easy on Gokudera. He seems like a hard head, but he's been through a lot. He will need you as well. You two understand?"

Rose smiled at them both as they both nodded and held her. Haru and Kyoko told her that they will miss her and Rose told them she will miss them just as much. Her final words were, "A rose by any other name would still be just as sweet. And no matter who I was you two still could hold me as close as you do now. And for that…I already know…that you two will change this world for the better. Goodbye…Haru…Kyoko...""

Rosabella being the sole maiden of the Vongola faded into Kyoko and all the flames of the sky came down upon Kyoko in the shape of a rose and ignited her eyes in a rainbow color. All her emotions hit her in phases until they all found harmony within her. Kyoko felt the very soul of Rosabella within her as she noticed her friends feeling the same way.

Finally, Tsuna was face to face with every single Vongola boss once more. Each one after the first were ruthless leaders who dwelled in the life of crime and violence. Every boss eyed Tsuna down before they all placed his hands on him. Tsuna looked around him and saw in each of them the willingness to see this through. They all may not agree on the same ideas for the fate of the Vongola, but they all can see that the world deserves peace. And so one by one the Vongola bosses burned themselves into Tsuna until Giotto was the last one.

Giotto saw the sadness in Tsuna's eyes but he also saw the great power within them. It was at this moment Giotto had witnessed each of his closest friends, his loved ones, disappear right in front of his eyes. And yet he saw in all of Tsuna's friends the ones he just lost. He has lived a good life despite all the trauma he also experienced. And when he now looked back to Tsuna's eyes he saw the fire of the Vongola. The fire of hope that will light this dark world! And thus the man who is Giotto smiled knowing full well that this world will be okay. He fought for this world to the very end, he did only what he thought was right even if it meant doing things he will never forget. Things that cannot be forgiven…and yet were forgiven by his loved ones.

The man that Giotto was, the man he saw reflected in Tsuna's eyes was astounding to him. He never thought for the first time in a very long time…

Giotto looked…content with his life. Just as Tsuna and his Maiden stated to him, he did end up accepting what he and his guardians did not want to accept. The burden of this world is not theirs alone, they are not to blame for everything. They tried their absolute best and who could blame them for that.

"Thank you Tsunayoshi….thank you so much for giving me this chance to realize this. You know, I don't think I ever mentioned this but I had a son. He was a happy child, who would always smile all the time. He had Rose's eyes…and my hair and smile. Of course I never got to say goodbye to him…until I got the chance to visit his grave after all those years when I was brought back to life. And at that moment I felt so proud…because he carried on the bloodline that would eventually lead to your father…and then you. Thank you so much Tsunayoshi…and never…no matter what…on any circumstance should you lose hope…and…be sure…to kick those bird brain's asses…the Vongola way. Giotto smiled a bright, cheerful and seemingly youthful smile one last time before he too disappeared into Tsuna.

And the final symbol shot down a torrent of flames that surrounded Tsuna in Sky Flames. Tsuna let out a strong cry as his voice reached the sky itself. It seems the power that went to him was far greater than the others as he felt his life reach the edge. He felt himself lose grip on his life just to grasp even tighter than before. He heard some of his friends call out to him and Tsuna found himself outside the torrent of flames and crawling on the ground.

Tsuna could feel his flame coursing through him that had a strong resemblance to the bosses before him. But most notable of all was Giotto's flame burning within him.

"Giotto….rest…peacefully…" Tsuna said before he sensed a very dark presence in the distance. His Hyper Intuition had increased to the intuition he had in his Ultimate Dying Will mode. No, it increased even further than that as he could feel those presences appear before they even touched the outer wall of a temple.

There they all stood as they appeared one by one. The darkest mafia group that had the strength to surpass the Vongola. A group which has stood against the tides of time and survived for so long. Once sealed away but now free to do as they wish. The group that built an army in months, and ended up tormenting the world in only a few years. Their ultimate goal seems to be nothing more than to cause pure chaos for the world. The Giobbani.

"Well isn't this just a beautiful sight!" Desparaze announced as he stood in the center of the line of him and his guardians. "The clam heads has finally accomplished the impossible! Congratulations guys, I didn't think you could do it but I hoped you guys would. See, I did have cake prepared but you know how I get when flying at high speeds. I was so hungry I thought I could eat an entire man and not in the good way either! We are now equal in terms of power! You guys are quite frankly…an actual 'challenge' now…"

"But they are from being an actual threat to us. How lame," Neomine said. Neomine, was the Dark Lightning guardian. A young man in his twenties that is known in the mafia world as "Lamest Way To Die." He has slaughtered many people with ease but he only kills when he believes the kill can be an uncool way. His victims are killed in such unusual ways that one of his victims was dead for weeks but the family of the victim did not even realize. He hates heroics and all things epic. "Might as well finish them off right here while I am a sleep."

"Hmph, you know Desparaze acts in unusual ways. We must be sure to see things through to the end that is best fit for him. Otherwise we would never hear the end of it from him. And I would rather not have deal with such antics from him," Kodoku Hibari said. He is the Dark Cloud guardian of the Giobbani. He is a calm and collected man whose past is mostly unknown to the world. No one knows more about him than his own son does. The man rarely shows emotion and it is rumored he has none at all and emotion shown on his face is simply a façade. But he has singlehandedly destroyed over a hundred mafia families with no survivors from any of them with every single one of them left in pieces…

"Oh Kodoku. What a rare sight indeed, what you see and I see are one and the same. Lips sealed tight, treasures lie inside. Waiting to be swept by eerie windblown tide. What….am….I?" Jiro sounded behind his mask. Jiro was the Dark Rain guardian of the Giobbani. A master swordsman who wields two swords in an unknown style. Nothing is known about him. No one knows who is, where he is from, or even what he looks like. It is said that he was an orphan and when the proper authorities had found him long ago he was surrounded by corpses with their bodies entangled and bent into highly deformed appearances. He is a riddle all on in his own right.

"Ah! I know the answer! I know! Me! Me! Pick me, Jiro! I know the answer to the riddle!" Kitsune said. She was the youngest of the group at the age of fifteen and perhaps the oddest one out of the group. She is a fox girl who is part fox and part human. Kitsune is a result of animal experiments that made her the way she is. Not much else is known about her besides the fact she loves ice cream very much and seems to be the assistant to the Dark Mist guardian. Her official position in the Giobbani is unknown. "The answer to the riddle is ice cream and babies!"

She was quickly bopped on the head by Kyonshi who shook his head in disappointment. "Now I say why the Hell would it be babies and ice cream? The answer to his riddle is simple if you think about it logically Kitsune! It is clams! Was that not as blatantly obvious as the sky being blue itself?" Kyonshi spoke speedily but had a clear sense of intelligence with him. He was the brightest of the Giobbani and is the brains behind many of their operations and technology. He is the last surviving member of the Estraneo famiglia that Mukuro Rokudo destroyed. He is the Dark Mist Guardian and bears a great grudge to Mukuro. He is obsessed with logic and seems to only act with his mind for the sake of his experiments that he would do anything for. He has taken thousands of animals and humans from their respective families to experiment on.

"Heh, it would seem like your little pet ain't the brightest thing in the world Kyonshi. But seriously, why the Hell do we have to keep showing up like stalkers everywhere? It's annoying, we even showed up dramatically for no reason. I hate dramatics," Aki said next. Aki is an agent that used to belong a secret agency in Russia. She had an excellent record and never once failed a single mission. Some believe she is responsible for the assassinations of many mafia leaders all around the world long before she worked for the Giobbani. She is cunning, cold, and doesn't really like the word fun it seems. She holds the power of a Maiden for the Night Sky.

"Chances are you hate dramatics so much because your life is one big drama Aki. You were rejected by Desparaze to be the true maiden of the Giobbani. Even after I contracted you to kill him, which I shall remind you for the hundredth time now, you failed. Now look at where I am. I am actually here witnessing such a horrendous event. Dear me," Infidelis said in a polite tone of voice. A very odd member of the Giobbani. He in fact is the cause of much of Desparaze's pain in the past. It is he who rose through the ranks of the Giobbani long ago and tried to seize control of it during the day of Desparaze's wedding but failed. He only succeeded in the murder of Arianna. Yet, for some reason he now works for him as his right hand man and the Dark Storm guardian. To add to his oddness, he is a proper and polite man who is also said to be one of nicest people who has never killed anyone.

The Giobbani began to bicker with one another as Desparaze simply laughed. The Vongola watched carefully for their next move as Desparze simply shook his head.

"Come on guys! Enough fighting! We're being rude to the clam heads. Besides, you guys are trying to scare my lovely wife? This is the first time she has come outside the castle in a very long time! And she did it just for me! Oh I love the woman so much!" Desparaze said as hearts of Night Sky Flames burned on top of his head.

"Then…where is she Dez?" Kitsune asked him. The entire Giobbani group stopped when they all stared at him. Desparaze broke out into a cold sweat, then he panicked, and then looked around frantically. He sweated some more, panicked some more, and began to freak out when he realized his wife was gone.

"WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME SHE WASN'T WITH US? WHERE IS SHE!? DARLING! HONEY! WHERE ARE YOU! SCREAM TWICE IF YOUR BOOBS ARE OKAY AT LEAST!" Desparaze screamed.

It was then that Haru stepped forward next to Kyoko and looked at her. She then asked, "Does…he…does he even know that Arianna is dead? Is his mind truly that lost?"

"I…have no idea…" Kyoko said back to Haru.

"HER PRECIOUS BOOBS! THE MOST REDEEMING FEATURE SHE HAD! AND I LOST BOTH OF THEM! DAMMIT!" He screamed as he turned around with his hands on his heads and on his back…was a woman!

The woman was strapped to his back by a seat belt of sorts, holding her arms and legs close to her body. And at first sight everyone's eyes widened when they saw what at first looked like Rosabella. Then they realized who the woman resembled even further by the color of her white-silver hair. Her eyes were completely red and her skin was very pale looking. She wore a simple one piece white dress with white heels. It was bewildering to see a woman who so closely looked like Arianna, Desparaze's wife who everyone saw was gunned down by mafia members. Yet there she was as clear as day…but it was obvious that she was definitely far from being human.

She spoke in a nearly robotic manner with her voice nearly sounding like a voice recording of an actual human's voice. And upon closer inspection robotic details could be seen in her jawline, elbows, and knees.

"I am, right here. Honey. You strapped me to your back so I would not get lost," she said. Desparaze then perked up right away and smiled as he remembered she was strapped to his back.

"Ah, there you are my dear Etsuko(Joy, Child)! Why didn't you scream like I asked you too if your boobs were safe?" Desparaze demanded to know.

"Because. I barely have any boobs to worry about. But do not worry. They are safe. And this is me screaming: Ahh….ahh!" Etsuko gave out a very light and girlish scream. Desparaze apparently felt even more in madly in love with her and spun around in a circle trying to hug his wife like a dog chasing its tail with no luck. The rest of the Giobbani all seemed disappointed in their leader while the Vongola…was horrified by that sight.

They knew that woman right there whose name was Etsuko…was Arianna. The resemblance is nearly identical if not for the robotic details. But he couldn't have…it was too sick. He couldn't have made Arianna into a robot…just to have her again could he?

Haru felt like puking as Gokudera ran up to her and held her. He was just as sickened along with everyone else by such a sight. Haru turned from Gokudera, anger in her heart for the fate of Arianna, and pointed to Desparaze.

"You…damn monster! You created….a robot of your wife? How could you do that to Ariana you sick Bastard!" Haru screamed. That was when Desparaze suddenly stopped with his back turned to the Vongola. He then slowly unclipped Etsuko who then stood with an unblinking stare at Haru. Desparaze then stepped forward as he grew a giant chesire grin like smile.

"I don't know who this Arianna you're talking about is. But my one and only wife is Etusko. She always has been and always will be," Desparaze said which surprised the Vongola. They couldn't tell if he was serious or not. "But since you spoke up! I forgot…I am going to need you Haru Miura. Oh, and I am also taking back my moon guardian! Celina! Where are you? It's time for us to go!"

Yamamoto yelled at him, "You aren't taking my sister back! She is staying with us now! She already betrayed you and is with the Vongola now!"

"Yeah that's right you…" Haru's voice was cut off when Celina appeared right behind Haru and knocked her out. None of the members of the Vongola was prepared for this as Celina stared them all down. She had bright white eyes and white hair that resonated in power. She twirled her spear around and before the Vongola could react she vanished! She then reappeared at Desparaze's side with Haru in her arms! She handed Haru over to Etsuko who bounded her with her arms and great strength.

"It is nice to have you back Celina!" Desparaze said with a charming smile.

"Great to be back, Master. This is after all…what I wanted…" Celina said to him.

"Haru...! Haru! Give her back!" Gokudera yelled as from his hands he drew dynamite. The members of the Giobbani then quickly prepared themselves as did the Vongola in that instant. But Celina turned around and looked to the Vongola from above to see Yamamoto asking her what she thinks she's doing.

"Celina! Don't do this! This isn't what you want!" Yamamoto called out to her.

"Oh, shut the Hell up Yamamoto. You are so annoying," Celina said to Yamamoto who stopped in his tracks. He was shocked. He was stunned! His sister never spoke like that to him. "You always think you know so much about me when the truth is you know nothing. None of you do. The Vongola doesn't understand me. From the very beginning…was it not obvious that I could not be trusted? IThe only sane was Hibari who questioned me, but even he let off. I am a member of the Giobbani! I am the Moon Guardian that represents the night sky! You are all fools!"

"C-Celina…?" Chrome said as they all watched Celina laugh at them.

"I can't believe how stupid you all are. So let me explain it to you so you guys can comprehend. My mission was to observe you guys and obtain as much information as I could on you guys. I observed all your trials, some in secret so I could know your strengths and weaknesses. I know everything about you guys. And from the very beginning it was I who was tormenting Haru Miura. In her dreams I would use my power to bring out her darkest feelings and make it easier for her to succumb to despair. My Moon Flames bear the power to do so…and I did it every night right under your noses. Right now she is very close to breaking, and eventually she will. My mission is complete now. So I have no reason to be here any longer then," Celina said as she turned her back on her "friends."

"So that's what her purpose was," Reborn said. "She was to infiltrate our ranks to learn everything about us. That's how the Giobbani kept finding us all the time. She must have relayed all sorts of information to them without any of us ever knowing."

"Celina! You can't!" Yamamoto yelled. "You don't honestly mean that everything we been through was…for nothing! I'm your brother! And everyone else are your friends! We care about you….and I know this is not the real you! The real you….the girl I know is called….is called…wait…what is your name…?" Yamamoto searched his mind frantically, but he did not recall what Celina's true name was! He knows for sure he remembered it during his trial...but it was gone now.

"Hmph, don't try to even remember…brother. When you recalled who I really am I reached inside your mind and ripped the memories out of your mind without you even noticing. Because I wanted to be who I really am. Celina. That, is who I am. Do you not get it at all brother? You were a tool to get me into the Vongola, nothing more, and nothing less. You were always a dumb one after all," Celina said with a grin.

Yamamoto could not believe it. He was…used. He fought so hard to have her back and all along that is exactly what the Giobbani wanted! They used his sister to make it more convincing for him to bring her into the Vongola! He was deceived…

It was then Desparaze broke out into a loud laughter. "Now this has been a great family reunion! But, now that I have my harem of ladies back. It is time for us to take flight and leave. But fret not Vongola! We will meet again as destiny now ties us all together! I welcome you all to come face us tomorrow, the final battle will take place in my home town of Sicily in Italy! There, you will find the castle that is the Giobbani headquarters and where you will get your final chance to defeat all of us….and save this world. Since now that I have both Haru Miura and Celina once again. My plans can commence….So allow this to be not just an invitation…but a declaration of war! COME VONGOLA! I CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO FACE US! I HAVE YOUR FRIEND! I HAVE THE WORLD IN MY HANDS! AND I ASK OF YOUR GREAT LEADER…WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!"

The Vongola all looked to Tsuna who was still on the ground. He had not moved. He had not said an even a single word this entire time. Tsuna was silent and it seemed like he was lost in his own thoughts or something. Desparaze stared hard at Tsuna who did not do anything at all oddly enough.

"Oh…umm….I was kind of….like…expecting something heroic. Did he die? Oh my God, I swear if he died after all of that. You know that is actually just rude! Sigh, fine! Whatever! You know where to find us then…your boss doesn't seem to be in the mood right now," Desparaze said as he reached out petted Haru's face which angered Gokudera further. "I guess that's all there is to the Vongola Boss…."

And in that very instant, that very second! Desparaze had turned to his right to see Tsuna right in front of him. Tsuna's eyes burned with a grand fiery orange the likes of which burned with an even greater aura of power beyond measures. His entire body was covered in the purest of Sky Flames which boosted his speed to new levels. The sound of him taking off did not even reach anyone's ears until moments later! Tsuna then punched Desparaze in his face and sent him flying miles back! Desparaze crashed into the ground, causing a crevice in the Earth itself which he fell into!

The Giobbani was paralyzed from the shock of seeing their leader get hit so easily! Something...that has not been seen before! Tsuna then floated slowly down to touch the temple the Giobbani stood on. He calmly stood there right where Desparaze stood as the Vongola and Giobbani only watched silently. Tsuna looked at the members of the Giobbani carefully before he looked out to where he hit Desparaze.

"A declaration of war…?" Tsuna said, his voice sounding powerful and calm. "Very well Desparaze. Then let this be my own declaration of war to you as well. I am going to take my friends back. Both of them. And when I do, I will come back for you. Why wait for a battle tomorrow when we can end this right here and now? I'm done playing around with your games Desparaze. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into by challenging us. We're not just a group of kids that you can boss around and play with. We're the Vongola. And no matter what the Vongola stands together and never loses hope. That is something you and your famiglia lost a long time ago I can tell. And because of that. Because you gave up and lost hope. You will all fall to me and my friends. And you, personally, will be defeated once and for all by me! The Giobbani will never hurt anyone else again, too many lives have been lost because of our fight! That all ends…now Desparaze!"

"As if I would let it!" Neomine called out as he tried attack Tsuna from his right with his fist charged with Dark Lightning flames.

"I'll defeat you right here and now." Koduku said as he attacked Tsuna from the left with his staff ignited with Dark Cloud flames.

But without them even noticing it, both their attacks had already been predicted by Tsuna and blocked easily with both of his hands. He moved faster than their eyes could keep up with. Tsuna showed no mercy for either of them or the remaining Giobbani members as from both of his hands Tsuna fired with no preparation required, two powerful Ultimate X-Burners! The attack blew everything on Tsuna's right and left away. The ground, the remaining temples, and anything else was burned away by Tsuna's overwhelming attack. The Vongola watched in awe as Tsuna demonstrated the might of the power of True Dying Will Flames! He didn't even need his weapons or gear!

However, at the right moment Desparaze used his Night Sky Flame to cause discord among his guardians. They were all saved from the attack with Haru still being held captive by them when they reappeared by Desparaze's side who came out of his hole smiling with glowing red eyes.

"Not bad! Not fucking bad at all! You actually hit me, and it hurt like Hell! But holy shit Tsunayoshi, you could have hit your friends too with an attack like that!" Desparaze called out in a blood shrieking tone of voice.

Tsuna calmly spoke back, "No. My flames would never hurt my friends. The flames I now possess can only burn those I see as an enemy. That is what Giotto has told me from within. The true power of Sky Flames not only allows me to harmonize with the environment but my friends as well."

Tsuna had heard the voiced of the previous bosses whispering into him when we had lying down back there. He heard Giotto explain to him what his sky flames could now do.

Then as Tsuna said that he jumped off what was left of the temple he destroyed and onto the ground. And at his side the rest of his guardians appeared at speeds close to his own with Haru, Akuma, and Sora all standing behind them soon enough. Reborn then placed himself on Tsuna's shoulder and drew his gun as he too was going to be at Tsuna's side. There they all stood the members of the Vongola staring down the members of the Giobbani. The generation of the Vongola that now holds the true power of flames!

Every single one of them was prepared to fight at that moment. And as much as Desparaze wanted to kill every one of them right then he decided not to.

"Now is not the place Tsunayoshi. Think about it. You only just gained your true powers while I and my guardians have had a much longer time with them. You fight us right now and your loss will surely be inevitable. We have experience….and quite honestly we are stronger…" Desparaze said to them while laughing.

"That's why you ate the dirt when I hit you," Tsuna replied which stopped Desparaze from speaking. "You boast about your power, then prove it to me. Prove to me what your hopeless struggle to defeat us will do. My friends and I will defeat you regardless of how much 'experience' you think you have."

A breeze blew past the Vongola and the Giobbani and Desparze seriously considered doing battle right then and there. But his plans needed him to be patient, and he struggled very hard to be patient.

"Kyonshi, take us out of here…now! Before I break open these clams' heads!" Desparaze said and Kyonshi pulled out a remote controller of some sort. He used it to send down a beam that shot down on the Giobbani members! Tsuna and the Vongoal then sped forward as fast as they could to stop them before they get away, but they were not fast enough to stop them.

"Until we meet again Vongola! And trust me….we will meet again! And when we do, that will be the day you all perish! HAHAHAHAHAH!" Desparaze gave off his final words before disappearing with his guardians.

Tsuna hit the air they once stood and fell to the ground. He then looked around frantically trying to sense them but they were no longer even here, perhaps not even in Japan anymore. Tsuna punched the ground with anger rapidly as he was filled with rage at himself for allowing them to escape!

"Dammit! They have Haru and Celina! They took them both so easily! Dammit!" Tsuna screamed. Kyoko then slowly walked over to him and placed her arms around Tsuna. Yamamoto was deeply upset as well and he lowered his swords and looked up the sky. He was distraught along with Gokudera who was punching a tree to take his anger out on.

"Why didn't I do anything? Why didn't I fight when I had the chance? I let them take her…and I promised to protect her! All that planning, and for what?" Gokudera said, before punching the tree again and knocking it over with his new found strength.

Reborn hopped off of Tsuna's back and looked round at the Vongola. He looked at them all and asked, "What are you all doing? Do not tell me that after all this, you plan to give up here?"

"Hmph, give up? I don't plan on giving up now that I can finally take my father down, child. I will defeat him and show the Giobbani what it means…to be bitten to death." Hibari said as he stood closer to Reborn with his tonfas out.

"No one said anything…about giving up!" Chrome yelled, an unusual thing for her. "I am not going to stop here. Not after everything we went through…I will save our friends and defeat the Giobbani!"

"And I will not stop here either. It seems I was not so tidy in my youth, as I forgot to clean up an old mess of mine. Kufufu…that Estraneo Bastard is going to have his throat ripped from his body…" Mukuro sneered, excited from the mere thought of it.

"You can count me in as well! The Giobbani think they can get away from taking away everyone's future? They don't know who they're messing with. We're going to kick their ass!" Lambo said proudly as punched the palm of his other hand.

"And no matter what it takes…I will get Celina back….no matter who I have to cut down…" Yamamto announced as he saw his reflection in his sword.

"Same here, I am going to blow all those Bastards to Hell. Every single one of them who stands in my way. I will save Haru even if I have to die trying!" Gokudera said with his hands balled into fists.

"THE FIRST ONE I SEE IS GOING TO BE KNOCKED OUT TO THE EXTREME! CELINA! HARU! I'LL SAVE THEM BOTH! I DON'T CARE IF CELIAN THINKS SHE'S EVIL! WE ALL KNOW SHE IS GOOD AND WE WILL SAVE HER!" Ryohei yelled with his voice piercing the air.

"Count us in too!" Akua and Sora said together.

Kyoko smiled as she looked down at Tsuna and said, "And you just know I am getting my best friend back and Celina. Tsuna, I will stand by your side to the very end. We all will. So what are you waiting for? You're the Vongola Boss now. What are your orders, Tsuna?"

Tsuna was silent for a moment before he stood up and looked down at Reborn. "Reborn?"

"Yes?"

"Make the arrangements for us to head to Italy right away. I want the fastest way possible for us to get there and as soon as possible," Tsuna said as he walked away from Reborn who smirked. He never thought the day would come when he takes orders from Tsuna.

"Right away, Tsuna." Reborn smiled as Tsuna faced his friends and comrades.

"Then it has all been decided? We're going to save both Haru and Celina. We're going to defeat the Giobbani and make sure that no one else dies! No one else gets hurt! And we are going to save this world…with our dying will! For not just us…but Giotto and his friends. We will avenge them! The Vongola…always…reaches their goals and this is one of them! Let's go show the Giobbani what it really means…to feel despair!"
