Gamma looks up when two teenagers -almost adults- crash through the window and land in the hallway in front of him.
The broken window lets in the abrupt crack of thunder that then rolls out into a low rumble, quickly muffled under another cascade of cracks. The window is ground height to the flat, rocky plains and spires of lightning rods spike up into the sky.
Gamma turns, ready to rush back into the room and alert the security but Tsuna blurs with how fast he moves, Blessed blood in his veins, and Takeshi jumps into the fray with a bamboo sword that hits too hard to been anything but metal.
It's not graceful, not at all, but Tsuna and Takeshi get Gamma tackled to the ground and knock him out after a good couple of hits.
"Well," Tsuna pants, sitting on the unconscious Gamma's back. "Haven't done that before."
"I have," Takeshi laughs, standing with his sword braced on a shoulder.
Tsuna blinks. "What?"
Takeshi shrugs. "It's a long story but it begins with a giant seagull-"
The door at the end of the hallway opens and Lambo steps through. Tsuna and Takeshi freeze. Lambo looks at the downed Gamma, looks up at the two intruders, and slams the door shut.
Tsuna scrambles up and Takeshi rushes forward to kick the door in.
Colonnello summons heavy rains to flood the large air vents that lead down to the underground city to announce his presence. Verde can get a bit caught up in his lab so Colonnello knows he needs to make a loud entrance.
Colonnello stands above a stable wave, Lal beside him and loading a shotgun. "What's the plan?" Colonnello asks.
Lal sneers. "Fuck 'em up."
The Rain God wobbles a bit, clutching at his chest with a hand. "I-I love you."
The rain grows to thick sheets even with the sunny brightness blotting out the lightning but not the roaring thunder. Colonnello and Lal follow the rush of water through the ground floor lobby and into the underground city proper.
The crowd runs from the flood but the water only follows Colonnello through, leaving the rest of the city streets dry. Verde's main labs are quite obvious, the giant floating metal orb hovering in the cavernous city sky, just barely attached to the very top of the underground's ceiling.
Colonnello summons a tidal wave at his side, the water rearing up and flaring out like wings. At the very last moment, he hauls a shield of the water over himself and Lal to block the bolt of lightning that strikes out at him.
The giant orb blinks into a huge screen and Verde's face appears, the scientist frowning. "The water should be electrified," says several speakers at once.
"I," Colonnello begins with a huff. "Am very proud of that, actually. It took a while, but I've figured out how to redirect you, so I don't get shocked anymore."
"Interesting," Verde muses. "Come to the lab, I'd like to observe this technique."
"Maybe later, I'm pissed at you right now."
"Why?" Verde asks, taken aback. "You were done with Reborn. Viper even confirmed it."
Lal turns to the Rain. "Viper is the Mist, right?"
Colonnello sighs. "Yeah. And if they're involved, this is about to get even more annoying."
Verde looks away from the screen. "Ah. Someone has broken into our Sun's room."
Lal throws up her arms. "You're useless!"
"You didn't keep him for very long either."
Tsuna and Takeshi march down the hall to an elevator with a whimpering Lambo between them, the lightning citizen unwillingly leading them to the room the Sun is in.
Lambo is nervously glancing down at the two millimetres of water currently flooding the hallway. It's not a lot but it's super suspicious, along with the loud crashing of water from before. The three of them splash along to an elevator.
Lambo scans his hand against a blank part of the elevator wall and the outline of his hand lights up. The elevator begins to move upwards rapidly and the top opens up, the elevator rising into a large room, half destroyed because it's been a week but Reborn hasn't given up trying to get out.
Reborn sits up in his hammock. "Dame-Tsuna?"
Tsuna drops Lambo's arm. "God!" He rushes forward and throws himself onto the hammock, basking in the happy flare from the Sun.
Takeshi drops to the ground, soon followed by Lambo. Tsuna slumps in Reborn's arms with no possibility of a struggle.
Reborn sighs and eyes the slowly spreading mist that encroaches upon the room. "Chaos. Nice day we're having."
"Is it?" the Mist God muses. A cloaked figure bleeds into reality and gestures at the sunny, raining, lightning scattered day. "A bit messy."
Reborn hugs Tsuna tighter. "Fine. Let's go, but I'm taking this one."
The Mist gestures vaguely. "Everyone can come along."
"I don't really need those other two," Reborn begins.
The world is already bleeding away.
