Hearing what Byakuran said, everyone widened their eyes, immediately shouting at her to stop. "It's okay, Yuni! You don't have to do it! We can look for another way!" Ietsuna shouted.
Yuni shook her head. "No, this is actually the only way for you all to be able to go back to the past safety" Yuni smiled.
"Princess" A voice called, making everyone turned their attentions towards the source. Yuni slowly turned towards the voice, with a sad smile on her face.
"Gamma.."
...
= 3rd Person's POV =
"Are you really serious for doing this? Are you planning to leave without saying anything? To me? To us? ...Your husband and daughter?" Gamma slowly asked, and the people from the past dropped their jaws, though some of them just widened their eyes.
"They ...will understand.. My husband already knew this and he agreed though very unwillingly since it was me forcing him to, and also my daughter..." Yuni turned to stare at her pacifier, before going back to Gamma. "Please help my husband and the others to take care of her, Gamma... Everyone too.. Thank you for everything" Yuni smiled.
Gamma widened his eyes seeing that smile. It was exactly the same smile as his previous boss, Aria, before she died. "Princess.." Gamma murmured, before gritting his teeth. "...Okay.. Please ...take care" Gamma said softly, finally found his voice to do it, making Yuni smiled at the man.
Yuni closed her eyes, and the Sky flame surrounding her grew bigger and bigger, engulfing her, before she disappeared, and all of the pacifiers that were on her hands dropped to the ground.
"Yuni!" "Yuni-chan!" "Princess!"
Ietsuna immediately flew towards where Yuni was standing before she disappeared, and he didn't know why but his heart ache. His tears wouldn't stop flowing down his cheeks, dripping to the ground, holding tightly to the Sky pacifier, before turning around, glaring at the Mare Sky.
"Byakuran! I.. I will not forgive you!" Ietsuna shouted.
"Will not forgive me? What nonsense! You will not win against me!" Byakuran shouted back, one hand started to charge his power, following by Ietsuna who was charging his flame for X-Burner.
Everyone witnessing those, knew that those two attacks will be the last blasts to end everything.
'Tsu-chan.. Yuni-chan.. I will join you soon'
The barrier scattered when the two powerful blasts clashed with each other and Mare Sky lost in the battle of the blast, Ietsuna's X-Burner fully eliminated him, leaving the Mare ring alone dropped to the ground. Ietsuna though when he saw Byakuran saw no longer there, he couldn't shake away the feeling that Byakuran was losing on purpose because of the soft smile he was putting before he disappeared, before putting that thought in the back of his mind.
Ietsuna looked around, and couldn't help but starting to cry again. "What's the point of winning this battle anyway?" Ietsuna couldn't help but asked. "Ietsuna-sama.." Hayato and Takeshi went to their Sky's side.
"Really.. What's the point? Many people died from this and also Tsu-kun and Yuni.." Ietsuna cried out.
"Of course there are, kora!"
Everyone widened their eyes and snapped their heads towards the familiar voice, and saw that the pacifiers were glowing brighter and brighter, when the light disappeared, the Arcobaleno were standing there with the Sky pacifier on Colonello's hand.
Skull was depressed, mumbling something like "We are back into babies again.. Reborn-senpai will be the only one in his original body now.. It's not fair...", which the other babyfied Arcobaleno cringed, making them heaved out a long suffering sigh.
Decided to push that depressing thought away, Colonello looked at Ietsuna and the others. "...We know what had happened, since Yuni had been conversing with us during her feeding her flames to our pacifiers, kora!" Colonello said. "And also, there's something you all need to know about this battle, kora! We were really surprised when Yuni told us about it though" He continued, making the others wondered about what had Yuni told them.
"About what?" Lal asked.
"Everything, the start of Millefiore, the Vongola hunt, the battles.. The truth of this so-called horrible future, kora" Colonello said, making everyone, especially those from the past, widened their eyes.
"The ..truth?" Ietsuna slowly asked.
Verde nodded, fixing his glasses. "That's right. Actually everything since the beginning from the appearance of Millefiore Famiglia until now, were actually a plan made by Byakuran, ...including Yuni and Tsunayoshi too" Verde said.
"Wha..what?!" Ietsuna gasped.
"You all from the past, one question before everything.. Have you met young Yuni before?" Verde asked, and Ietsuna nodded. "Yeah, we have, it was during the Arcobaleno Trials, why?" Ietsuna asked back.
"Well, the thing is... Our Yuni had never met you before, and the Choice battle was the first time she met the fourteen years old Ietsuna and your Guardians" Colonello said. "What was her age when you met her?"
"Ten. She is four years younger than Tsuna. I did have a small conversation with Tsuna before my Trial started after all" Reborn answered, making all the future selves blinked, turning their attentions at Reborn, which made Reborn and the past selves wondered why.
"Mu.. So it's true. This future is a parallel world that will not be the future of your world" Mammon grunted.
"What do you mean?" Reborn narrowed his eyes.
"Well.. This world's Yuni ...is actually two years younger than Tsuna.. She's two years older than your world's Yuni. In this world, though Yuni already met Tsuna when she was twelve, she was eighteen when she first met the twenty years old Ietsuna" Fon said.
"A different unrelated future.." Ietsuna and the others widened their eyes.
"...By the way, what do you mean about plan?" Reborn asked, changing the topic.
"Oh, right, that.. It's actually the plan created by Byakuran, Yuni, and Tsuna, to train Ietsuna and his Guardians. And before you interfere by saying something about dying, they already know they that would happen. Actually they used this chance to train you all since you know about Tsuna's condition, Byakuran and Yuni ...well, both of them were also dying" Colonello said, making everyone. except the revived Arcobaleno, widened their eyes while some narrowed.
"Just as Colonello said, you already know about Tsuna's condition. About the other two, Yuni was dying because of the short-life span curse, while Byakuran was because he was infected by an incurable deadly illness.. Thus the plan" Fon sighed.
"But why train us, even go as far as sacrificing themselves?" Ietsuna bit his lower lip.
"Byakuran saw it through parallel world, almost all of the future your world lead to, you will encounter strong opponents that resulted almost every single one of you landed into the hospital, and some with life threatening injuries" Colonello said solemnly, making those from the past gasped and some widened their eyes. "Though too bad Yuni didn't say who the opponents are" Colonello sighed.
"Anymore question?" Verde asked, fixing his glasses. "Oh if you wanted to ask about Byakuran's Guardians then, they knew about the plan but still followed Byakuran until the end, and if there are those who are still alive after this battle-" Verde was interupted by a loud explosion of Cloud flame in the forest, snapping everyone's attentions there with widened eyes. "...-they will definitely kill themselves" Verde continued, before sighing.
"The loyal ones, ...huh.." Reborn said, and Verde nodded at the hitman.
"Are there anything you wanted to ask before you all go back to the past?" Fon asked.
"Yuni said ...she became the Sky Arcobaleno when she first met Tsu-kun after he saved him. What about the past? The past Tsu-kun ...already met her. Is he ...going to die?" Ietsuna slowly asked, and the revived Arcobaleno went silent.
"That.. Forgive us, but we didn't know. Yuni didn't say anything about that, so we are not sure" Fon frowned slightly.
"Byakuran, Yuni, and Tsuna.. They seems really close for them to actually made the plan together" Reborn said, giving an indirect silent question.
"Oh.. It's because the three of them are siblings!" Skull, who had been silent, exclaimed, making Ietsuna dropped his jaw. "They are what?!"
Colonello drop-kicked the Cloud Arcobaleno. "No, they are not. It's just that they treat each other as siblings, due to them being Skies, Yuni and Tsuna were the Sky Arcobaleno, and through Yuni, Tsuna met Byakuran who was actually Yuni's half-brother, kora" Colonello sweatdropped.
"Half-brother?! Yuni and Byakuran?!" Ietsuna choked out.
"Yes.. Both of them had the same father.. It seems like after Yuni's father already had a relationship with another woman before him finding out about Yuni's mother, Aria's curse that he then abandoned her and went for the other woman, who was at that time, just like Aria, too was pregnant, thus Byakuran" Fon sighed heavily at that.
"Byakuran actually already knew about Yuni and Tsuna before he met them. ...It was through his power to travel from parallel world to parallel world actually, kora!" Colonello continued.
"Byakuran being Byakuran since he already recognized the two, immediately bonded with the two. When Ietsuna trapped himself in his office because of his paperworks, Tsuna would sneak out to meet the other two Skies, either having a tea party together, or hang out somewhere, or sat at the garden in Gesso mansion while enjoying each other's companies, or in the said mansion helping Yuni's school work, Byakuran was homeschooled if that's what you were wondering. All in all, when Ietsuna was too busy which was almost every single day, the three of them will go to meet each other, kora" Colonello snickered when he said that while looking at Ietsuna's expression.
"I will forever curse paperworks.. How dare they decreased my quality time with Tsu-kun" Ietsuna grumbled, stomping the ground.
"Oh yeah, about the other parallel worlds and those who ...had passed.. What will happen to them? Would they still...?" Ietsuna asked when that came to mind.
"Ah, since Byakuran was defeated, Yuni said that everything will returned to normal and those who died in this world, killed by Byakuran, will be moving and kicking again, kora!" Colonello grinned.
"Then that means Tsuyoshi-san..." Takeshi whispered out, before he grinned as if one of the burden om his shoulder was lifted. "Thank goodness"
"Wait.. What about ...uncle Ieyasu and the others?" Ietsuna gulped.
The revived Arconabeno flinched. "We are sorry but they ...already passed before Millefiore appeared" Fon, who frowned behind the sleeves, covering his mouth, said, making Ietsuna and his Guardians dropped their shoulders.
"...Oh.. I see.." Ietsuna looked at the ground.
And that, the conversation ended and silence filled the place. The past selves were too depressed to say anything and the future selves were thinking what to say in the awkward silence.
"...Eer.. Since there aren't anymore question, I think all of you are ready to go back?" Shouichi asked, fixing his glasses while one hand holding his stomach, before the past selves nodded at the mechanic, and everyone walked towards to the large white time machine, with those other than Vongola and Arcobaleno walked separated during halfways.
~ Time Skip ~
Ietsuna and his Guardians were saying goodbyes to each other, though Ietsuna and Kyouya were still depressed to see Tsuna died infront of them, a different Tsuna, but still Tsuna nonetheless.
"I am going to miss playing you guys, Lambo, Ipin, Haru-nee, Kyoko-nee.. Teens is still children, you know, Lambo" TYLFuuta chuckled when he saw the said Thunder pouted at him at his last sentence.
"Well.. I won't deny that. We need to enjoy ourselves before turning into an adult" Ipin laughed, patting Lambo on the back.
"Not to worry, Fuuta-kun! We will make sure to play with the younger you!" Haru exclaimed, and Kyoko nodded at him with a smile.
"See you again, Hayato" TYLBianchi patted Hayato's head, who then swatted it away. "Don't pat me on the head, d*mn it! I am no longer a kid!" Hayato growled, making TYLBianchi smiled at the young Storm.
"See you again, Kyou-san" TYLKusakabe smiled at the young Cloud, who hn-ed at the man.
"Don't worry, Ietsuna-kun. I'll make sure the time-warp will send you all safely" Shouichi smiled at the young Sky with his Rain and Sun beside him.
Ietsuna nodded. "Yeah, thanks for everything, Shouichi" Ietsuna smiled.
"Oi, Verde, can I trust you?" Reborn glared at the green-haired Arcobaleno, who fixed his glasses. "Hm.. Even though Yuni plan these destructions on purpose, she has a valid reason, so I'll cooperate this time"
"Okay, everyone ready?" Shouichi smiled at them and the younger selves nodded at the mechanic, before the said mechanic turned to Spanner and nodded at the blond.
"Okay! Time warp, start!"
Ietsuna and the other were then surrounded by colourful glow, before disappearing in a dash, at the same time, Shouichi's round time machine glowed, and a certain brunet stepped out of it.
"Welcome back, Ietsuna-kun" Shouichi smiled at the man, who smiled back, before looking at the ground sadly. "I am back.. ...So.. Byakuran, Tsu-kun, and Yuni?"
Shouichi smiled sadly at TYLIetsuna. "I an sorry.. And yeah, they already left. I know I am not in the position to say this but cheer up for them? They won't like it if they saw you making that face, which Tsunayoshi-kun and Yuni-chan will definitely give you a long lecture.. Oh yeah, she asked Gamma to help taking care of your daughter by the way"
TYLIetsuna chuckled. "Yeah, you are right. Being lecture by them is not a nice experience, and don't worry, I already knew that. Yuni already told me" TYLIetsuna smiled, before walking towards the exit. "I am going up first and inform them when they wake up" He said, which Shouichi and Spanner nodded.
TYLIetsuna walked through the forest, to the location where his so-called grave was located, and upon reaching there, he saw a paper with a wooden sculpture of his partner animal holding the paper down.
He picked the paper up and saw that those are from Byakuran, Tsunayoshi, and Yuni, when he saw the handwritings.
「Ie-chan, I know you are angry at us for making these suicide plan, and I am really sorry for that, but thanks for agreeing anyway! ...Oh.. OH! You can have all of my marshmallow in my rooms, by the way!
- Full of marshmallow love, Byakuran of the Sea」
「Tsu-nii, I already told your younger self what I wanted to say, and I am going to say it again. Thank you for accepting me as your brother, for protecting me, for helping me, for caring for me, for not abandoning me, for loving me! Thank you for everything... I love you always, and I am really sorry for leaving you, dear brother.. ...Oh, please take care for Kyoko and Tseiko for me!
- Lots of love, Tsunayoshi of the Clam」
「Ie-kun, my dearest, I am really sorry for leaving you like this, I hope you forgive us. Thank you for everything, my dear Sky.. ...Oh.. And Please take care of Tsuyu for me
- Much dearest love, Yuni of the Rainbow」
TYLIetsuna gripped the paper tightly, with one hand covering his face. His body were shaking, when he couldn't hold his tears as he sobbed. "Haha.. What's with you three with the 'really sorry' and those 'oh'.." TYLIetsuna chuckled with tears flowing down his cheeks.
"I forgive you, you idiotic Skies" TYLIetsuna sobbed, kneeling down beside his empty coffin, hugging the paper. "I'll take your marshmallows like you asked me to, marshmallow freak, I'll protect Kyoko and Tseiko in your place, Tsu-kun, and I'll take care of Tsuyu, Yuni, ...rest in peace, you three" TYLIetsuna wiped his tears away, looking at the clear blue sky.
A sudden soft gush of wind flew past him, making him smiled.
"Thank you, and don't be sad, Ie-chan/Tsu-nii/Ie-kun"

"Welcome back, you guys, and how was the time travel?" Shouichi asked, turning his head towards the babified adults.
"Eer... Interesting, I think? Kora!" Colonello chucked.
"Hm.. As promise, we send them back safely" Verde said, fixing his glasses.
"We gave them a small present too, although we kind of shook the world a little" Fon smiled.
"Welcome back to you guys too, you all" Shouichi said turning his tead towards TYLHayato and the others, who were still om their way getting out of the round machine.
"Hm.. By the way..." TYLHayato started.
"Where's Ie?" TYLTakeshi continued TYLHayato's sentence.
"Ah, he already went up" Shouichi replied. "He should be in the forest where we put his coffin at.. Either there or at Decimo and his Guardians' graves" He continued, and TYLHayato and the others nodded, walking out, heading towards where their boss was.
.
"Oh, hey, guys" TYLIetsuna jumped out of a hole he dig when he felt his friends' presence. Uselessly patting the dusts away from his brownish supposed-to-be-white shirt, he looked up. "Not that I am not happy seeing you all, but what are you doing here?" TYLIetsuna smiled at them.
The males sighed before taking off their suits, leaving them in their respective element colours, they handed the suits at the females, before them approaching TYLIetsuna, who blinked questioningly. "Guys?"
"We'll help you, Ie!" TYLTakeshi smiled softly, which the others nodded.
"You don't need to, you know? Since those three's bodies are not here, I don't think I need to make a big hole" TYLIetsuna smile sadly, which he then got a hard punch on the head after he heard a familiar "Baka-Ie".
"Ouch, Reborn!" TYLIetsuna shrieked, rubbing the spot where Reborn punched on, before turning around. "You don't need to do that.. Ouch ouch.. Both babyfied you and the current you are still a spartan" TYLIetsuna pouted a little to the hitman in his adult form.
"I won't be me if I am not a kind tor-tutor" AdultReborn smirked, making everyone sweatdropped. "Anyway, dig it larger, we can buried something belongs to them here, rather than just making them collecting dusts, unless you are okay with cleaning those mountains of things. And of course, put them in a box or something, else it'll get dirty" AdultReborn huffed, which TYLIetsuna's Guardians and friends nodded at the Sky.
TYLIetsuna blinked, before he huffed. "I know that. I just decided to bury few things, and the rest, probably put them at home" TYLIetsuna smiled sadly, before pulling out a photo from the inside pocket of his suit.
It was him, Yuni, Tsuna, and Byakuran in one picture, all grinning brightly, and at the bottom of the picture was written "Trinisette Sky Siblings". TYLIetsuna smile again, before putting it back to his pocket.
"Well.. Thank for helping by the way, guys! Let's do this!" TYLIetsuna grinned.
'Thank you for everything, you three'
