Prompt: Skull gets kidnapped

They were the strongest team in the world. Recruited solely because they were the best. And they were out for blood. Nobody was spared from their wrath. Because somebody took Skull, and they wanted him back. They will get him back, and God pity the fools who get in their way.

Reborn, the world's greatest hitman and harbinger of chaos, wasn't holding back. He fired each shot with deadly accuracy. His targets would die, but slowly. Painfully.

Viper, the mysterious information broker that only cared about money, was using their illusions to break their victims. If fear didn't kill them, then their minds would be broken so far beyond repair that the person would have to live out the rest of their life in an insane asylum.

Fon, the master of over one hundred styles of martial arts, was taking a path similar to Reborn's. Well placed hits coated with his storm flames ensured his opponents would suffer before they eventually died.

Verde, the mad scientist who only cared about his work, was using said work on numerous unwilling test subjects. He gleefully took notes on the results of his newest poison as his victims writhed in agony.

Lal and Colonello, two of COMSUBIN's best soldiers, were tag teaming their opponents. Their method was a mixture of Fon and Reborn. Lal would attack the places that would cause the most pain. Then Colonello would shoot them in the places that would have them bleeding out within minutes.

Even Luche, the leader of the Giglio Nero famiglia and their team of misfits, had a part to play in this battle. Perhaps the hardest part of them all. She was in charge of handling the Vindice. Of making sure they saw the massacre as what it was. The team retrieving what was stolen from them.

Skull was taken three days ago. That meant that for the past three days, the Strongest Seven hunted. They tracked down every single person involved in taking Skull and destroyed them all.

This was the fifth base they had hit, and the fact that none of them had found Skull yet was making them all irritable. It was only fair to release those frustrations on anyone that stood in their way.

The six of them split up to search the base, looking in every single room for either Skull or more cannon fodder. The latter of which would be dealt with the same as the rest.

It was by chance that Fon found him first. Storm flames flared the second he opened the door and saw Skull, strapped to a chair and restrained with metal chains. The cloud was unconscious. Blood was dripping from a cut on his forehead and his clothing was torn in several places, exposing cuts and bruises all over.

Fon felt a vindictive glee as he used his flames to melt the chains holding Skull. The others rushed into the room as the last chain hit the ground. You never would have guessed that mere hours before Fon had ripped a man's arm off due to how gently he picked up Skull and laid him on the ground so Reborn could take over. Everyone crowded around, too anxious to be farther than a couple feet away now that they had Skull back. Sun flames filled the room moments later, working to heal the many injuries Skull had.

Purple eyes opened slowly. One by one they moved to take in each person hovering over him. Then Skull's lips curled into a grin, and all tension left them when he spoke.

"You're late Senpai."

Okay! So originally I was going to post this in SCI but mark the chapter as requested. Instead, I decided to make it a new fic. All the oneshots (for this story) that are requested by my readers will be posted here. More than likely, I will do the same for all my oneshot collections.

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! I stayed up until almost midnight because I got so absorbed in writing it that I lost track of time. Whoops. Somehow I still managed to wake up three minutes before my alarm.

If you have any requests, feel free to let me know. There's no guarantee I'll have it written any time soon, due to both the rewriting project and all the requests that I have to write still, but it will be added to the list (if its something I am able to write) and I will get to it eventually.

I'll see everyone on the next update! Please Review, Follow, and Favorite!
