Rose: Well, here we are, almost to the end. One more chapter before the end of this fic, then on to the sequel. I am a bit sad to see this fic end, but I only wrote 22 chapters originally for the fic in the first place. I know it has taken me a long time to get this fic done, but it is finally almost complete. ^^ Then on to Magical Mafia in London. I am honestly hopeless with battle scenes... But I will do my best to make the last chapter as complete as possible... I just finished rewatching the anime... and I have a pretty good idea of what to do.
After Sentoki had met with Antioch, the rest of the guardians had met with the spirits in their own rings. Minus Daemon's test, the rest went relatively well. Daemon had indeed tried to derail things by attacking the group and causing mayhem. That had ended when Tsuna defeated him and had been accepted by Giotto.
Daemon had to be somewhat forced to give Chrome his blessing, even though the former mist guardian had not really wanted to.
After the tests were over, and Sentoki had met Antioch's expectations, they all had been taken back to the future, the same day they had left, and went back to the Vongola base.
Yuni was still with them and taking care of the pacifiers of this time and was talking with them, telling them what had happened. She was currently asleep and having a nightmare about what was going on.
Meanwhile, Sentoki was currently packing all the potions that were here at the base and every magical object and book he could. He had a feeling something bad was going to happen and he was preparing for it the best he could. He sighed and took a calming breath as he noticed something that he had missed during his initial look through. He gasped in surprise and snagged the notebook, grinning like a loon and thanking his future self immensely.
Tsuna was in the training room, working with Na-Tsu, his box weapon, the Sky Lion. The little lion cub was unfortunately was a little scaredy cat when there was no battle and Tsuna was trying to help the little cub with that.
After Sentoki was done packing as many magical objects as he could, he noticed something a bit odd in one of the rooms. He went to check it out and blinked in surprise before turning bright red, recognizing the room as a nursery. "I guess my future self was preparing for the baby…" he muttered to himself, still blushing as he spotted something he recognized, something he had lost a long time ago. "Is that… It can't be…" he murmured as he picked up the blanket and then the tattered wolf, dog, stag and doe stuffed animals, tearing up a bit. He smiled fondly, carefully tucking the items into his extendable bag.
After a while there were a series of loud explosions as everyone ran to gather together and meet up. Zakuro, the real Storm Guardian for the Mare rings showed up before them. Squalo stepped in front of them and the group all escaped amid the chaos and explosions.
After a small break outside of the base, Haru had told them about Kawihara Relators and they all ran there to escape. Thanks to the man who now owned the shop, they had successfully confused Zakuro. Kawihara managed to make the man think that he was chasing the group towards Fiji island.
The ensuing chaos of the fight that happened when the other three real ring bearers appeared to capture Yuni was rather quick and Gamma, Nosaru and Tosaru appeared and helped save Yuni, the other two getting injured in the process. Thankfully Tsuna had beaten Torikabuto and Hibari finally beat Daisy, leaving Zakuro, Kikyo, Bluebell and the last unknown guardian, the lightning user.
After they had ran off Kikyo and Bluebell, the group rushed to the forest where the last stand would take. Through the night, the group made plans for an ambush, making Tsuna worry a bit. "Tsuna, I have all of the potions that were in the base currently on me. We will be alright." Sentoki told him with a smile. "Besides, we can't lose, we have the Vongola boxes, something Byakuran doesn't know how to beat, as he's obviously never come across them before."
The group got some rest and then set out to set up the ambush. Gamma with Gokudera, Lal and Sentoki. Nosaru and Tosaru, were with Ryohei and Lambo. Tsuna was with Fuuta, Shoichi, Yuni and Reborn.
