Village
Enma P.O.V.
The village was small at least compared to the school I went too which was ok in size but the village definitely made good use of the space they had with houses being lined in rows and probably about one room of space "Hey Henderson have you thought about the village expanding it seems kind of cramped" I pointed out not want to just give strange looks
"Well I have actually but that's up to the leader and martials have been low so it's not likely, but that's our issue and funnily enough my son heard about the low supplies and ran off to gather some by himself" Henderson explained laughing the situation off
"Oh that's why he was out there" The explanation gave me an idea that would definitely be helpful "Hey can I ask your leader something?"
"You want to go to him? Well it's not like I'm trying to hide you" Henderson agreed turning to the only house not in a row and 10 times the size of the other houses
"That's where he lives? I thought it was a store or some kind of storage place" Enma had a feeling this leader wasn't exactly nice guy
"Don't worry there's also an armory in there along with other necessary materials" Henderson adds walking to the door waving to the man standing beside it
"Hey Roco, is the leader busy I would like to show him my new resident" Henderson asked then he taps his chest as if to signal something
"Sure he's all ears" Roco smile showing flat teeth like he was a herbivore then he tips his hat revealing shaved down horns with a branding on his forehead
Inside was lavish with silk weaved into the walls and fur as the carpet... Fur? Aren't there part animal people in this village wouldn't fur be somewhat cruel?
"It's beautiful in here isn't it" Henderson smiles patting my back as if to send me off so I kept walking until a door way was shown being large and inside was a hippo faunus in a chair with steel supporters his clothes were limited to a loincloth and a necklace with a black gem with red cracks
"Tell me boy, why are you so special?" His voice was deep matching his stare that never wavered
"Um, I saved one of your soldiers and he brought me here" I answer but his look was still unimpressed
He grabs the neck for a couple seconds then chuckles "Fine you can stay but don't cause any trouble or I'll add your arm too my feast!" He was probably expecting fear but Enma just walks off wondering 'There's no armor or weapons in there, did he think I wouldn't notice or ask well I guess there are a couple scattered on the ceiling but that wouldn't help them in a real emergency' but then the sounds of laughing echo's in the building
"You think he's still alive right now or at least being crushed to death?" Henderson ask chuckling slightly at the thought
"I don't know it depends on if he showed fear, if he didn't boss would use his semblace on him and I doubt he would survive the night" Roco responds laughing at the fate of Enma
'So that's why he was so friendly, for me to be some sort of sacrifice!' The walls caved in as the feelings of him being betrayed twisted and turned inside of him, the emotion he felt all that time a go came back but not as strong but to them it was just as deadly
"Anyway I have to go see if my kid stayed in the village, I can't have the bait die" Henderson walks off
'Well, I guess I can't stay forever' I sighed walking out
"Your back huh, well then I'll take you to where you'll be staying" Roco smirks taking him to the house closest to the leader's hut inside was a bed and an assortment of items in the corner "That's stuff that was left by other guests like yourself" I stare at all the items including a torn teddy bear
"Was there a child here?" I asked but he answer was clearly a yes but Enma hoped he was wrong
"Kids, yeah there have been a couple kids that have been here" Roco responds in a dead voice "Get some sleep kid you'll need it that's my advice at least"
"I guess your right" I sighed already knowing the struggle the next day was going to be, and despite this I couldn't sleep the fact that families possibly died in this house reminds me of the death of my own and I couldn't let that go that was a part of me that
STOMP STOMP STOMP the floor rumbled shaking everything in the room then stopped I thought of checking outside but that seemed out of the question so I looked through the lost items noticing they seemed rather flat and poorly fixed with faint shades of red 'All I can image is my sister' This was the last straw igniting a flame on his head and walking out the door
"The guest shows his face" The leader says holding a large cannon "Usually we squash the guests, somewhat of a tradition but the possibility my employer is interested in you is possibly and maybe she'll even keep the grim away from us so here's the deal, beat me in a fight and I'll let you use this cannon to alert whatever huntsman are nearby, or I'll let you pick your death just like that quick and easy"
"And if I run" I ask
"We shoot you out of the sky so don't think about flying away" He chuckled at the sight of my helplessness, well what he thought was me helpless which only fueled my annoyance
"Deal" I said glare at the leader
The leader wasted zero-time sprinting at me raising his hand up and smashing it down attempting kill me but I dodged it and made a Gravita della terra but my efforts were shot down when a person tried to hit me from behind with their sword disrupting my concentration
"What did you think, I wouldn't know about the gravity and would just let myself get sucked away" The leader laughed
"Guess you're right, but I won't lose trust me" I stated lifting the attacked with my gravity and smashing him into his leader but the effect was little to none and surprisingly to the man I threw was fine
The leader scowled seeming stumped at what to do but I knew I had to end this increasing the gravity over two attackers leading to the other warriors to draw bows
I blast tiny gravity spheres to disrupt the archers aim and lunged for the cannon and set it off sending a blast of explosives into the air but the moment didn't last long as a hang gripped my head tightly while the other struck my back
"You're making my job a whole lot easier, did you think we'd let you get help that just to tell the other tribes working for Salem to come to this location" The leader explains squeezing my skull
"Your boss, Salem what does she need to have so many people under her control" I asked want to get at least some info
"You can ask her yourself" He pulls me in wanting to bear hug me and probably break my spine which was nothing compared to what I've been through also allowing me to spread soft earth flames through his body and increase the gravity on his organs "AHHH!" He coughed and wheezed pounding his chest until he could breathe again
"I won't corrupt myself by killing you, I won't allow you to take anymore prisoners" I state destroying his hut and a couple other 'This'll give me enough time to inform authorities, wait I'm wanted'
"The right hand I touched you with, will mark chaos in your life" The leader states pointing at me before grabbing his throat unable to speak
"That could be true but I won't fail back into despair I'm better than that" The other warriors step up ready to fight letting me know I still have a job to do
They fire the arrows but they all missed hitting allies or the ground but some arrows broke on contact with some of the allies
"We heard of your abilities but you're just a kid and your aura will runout eventually" One mocked throwing a spear
I caught it and was about to throw it back when a though popped into my mind "Wait!" I yelled
"What, we'll humor whatever you have to say just know your dying today" One said walking up front
"Where are the villagers, if all the guards are here then are they outside the village" I asked wondering where they were
"Oh them, we left them with a few guards outside they won't be out long" The man then reals back his arm and throws the spear
'What the hell is with them, do they not care about if innocent die' I thought "Then you know they can die"
"They stayed knowing the risks, and what do they have to do with this fight" He takes out a sword and charges him
Tsuna POV
I was worried about Enma, I know he's capable but I can't help but feel worried and it seemed skull shared these feelings
"Both you two think Enma is in trouble don't you" Reborn ask
"How can you tell!" I exclaimed
"Yeah, Reborn can you read minds or something" Skull questioned
"No, I can't but I will say that I share that worry" Reborn sighed "Especially with that flair in the air"
"Flair in the air?" I said confused but I spotted it "That's it I'm flying over there" A flame appears on my head and I attempt to fly at least above tree level when an arrow flies at me so I catch and break it landing about 6 feet from where I flew looking around
"I thought something was strange, our path was clear nothing to be seen and was rather neat" Reborn noted
"Who are you!" I shouted but no one responded
"They probably running because they know the mighty Skull is here" Skull laughed
"Then go check" Reborn says throwing skull into the bushes
"AAAAHHH THEY'RE STILL HERE!" Skull yelled followed by the bushes rustling
This was good news for me so I rush in to see who's there but I find a group of archers with drawn bows wait and then releasing them at me
I waved hard flames in front of me stopping the arrows shocking them allowing me to elbow one in the stomach then punch one in the face knocking both out
"Bring reinforcements" One yelled out running off
"Thank god you beat those guys up I don't know what they would do to me if you didn't attack them" Skull thank running back to the past way
I follow and see a large group of men in heavy armor and large weapons lying around "Reborn you helped fight them off?" I said not used to Reborn helping out
"There isn't a reason I can't this time" Reborn smirk tipping his hat up with his gun
Riiiinng My ears are ringing making me feel sick as the sound only gets louder "You guys go ahead" I say stubbing to the floor waiting a good while for them to leave
"So you knew I was here, and messing you up with sound" The stranger reveals themselves "I'm sorry we can't have you fly off like that so I have to use my semblance, but it's not like you can go anywhere as a wanted man can you" He clapped in delight
"I guess your righ-" I cut myself off as I sped at him about to do X-stream but my balance was out of control leading me into a tree rubbing my face and knocking the leaves off of my body
"Trying to fool me isn't going to work, your trapped here" He smiles at his plan
"Then I'll blast my way out" I say putting on my headphones getting into a stance "Operation X"
"Preparing for operation X" The system says "Target not spotted"
'What? Is this an illusion' I stopped my X burner and look around "Nastu, cambio form" I say as Nastu growls in agreement making my gauntlets bigger as they reach up my arms
"What are you doing, fly and you'll be shot out of the air just a fair warning"
"Target spotted" The system says looking far into the trees
"XX-Burner" I say flames erupting from my hands and destroying the area and shaking the forest I looked for anyone close by and see multiple men charred on the floor unconscious
"The hell are you" One of the men groaned knowing Tsuna couldn't be stopped by what weaponry they had
"I'm human just know that" I said flying to Reborn as fast as I could out speeding anything that could come my way but it seems I over shot my mark so I go back a little to find Reborn defeating hordes of enemies "Oh coarse Reborn's ok but what about Skull"
"Hey Tsuna Reborn told me how to get to Enma" Skull says so I land tell him to hold tight and rocket off "Take a left at that fallen tree Reborn told Enma to make a trail of broken trees"
"Ok" I replied flying a little slower and spotting some kind of village but it was mostly destroyed with people beaten up scattered about the place it seems something went wrong
"Could it really be here with the way this place is destroyed" I ask
"Well we could look around we may find some clues" Skull suggests running to a black gem with red cracks
I went straight to the house with ruble with front of it and seeing how it was perfectly intact Tsuna blasted it out of the way looking inside to find a red head holding a doll
"Hey Enma!" I exclaim rushing over "What happened, were you attacked" I ask but he only slowly turns his head towards me showing his face in a state of complete sorrow just like on the island
Only now did I realize he grabbed my ankle and sorrow overwhelmed me "The leader of this village cursed me, do you feel sad Tsuna, maybe even pain" Enma asked
I was brought inside my own mind seeing all my past failures and all the horrible situations I was in I was stunned to see the burden I had to carry at the age of 14 was this really fair
"I lost my family Tsuna, the mafia I'm boss of is nothing but a shell of what it was and we both are failures so will you sit with me" Enma asked
I sit down with Enma with a hand on his head and soft flames pulsing out "I have a factor of harmony, and if I have to fight you again to show everyone who cares for you, I'll do it as many times as I have too" I assured him
Enma stands up holding a doll the hand holding it shaking as if it was struggling to let it go 'Enma's family I forgot he had a little sister' I thought until Enma dropped it
"I'm sorry Tsuna I did I again like back on the island" Enma apologized
"It's alright Enma lets just get out of here" I said walking outside looking for Skull "Hey Skull I found Enma"
"Enma!" Skull screamed running over to hug him "Thank god your safe those other two were going to be the death of me"
"Hey what did I do!?" I was going to protest but it seemed like they were happy to see each other
"Hey Tsuna have you run into anyone dangerous on your way here" Enma ask
"Yeah, with a lot of crazy abilities that kind of gave me trouble but I didn't want to kill them or hurt them too bad" I explained
"We have to stop all these villages form attacking innocent people and then we have to find their boss Salem" Enma informed
"I'll help you defeat Enma, and one day we'll get their boss" I Assured "Also we should get Reborn he's probably taken care of the attackers by now" I assumed
"Already here Tsuna" Reborn says falling and landing on Tsuna's head "I do think getting rid of those attackers would be benefitable to us" Reborn smirks
"By the way what did happen at this village" I asked
"Well, it's an interesting story" Enma smiled feeling the comfort of his friends "They wanted me to go to their boss so I had to defeat them all. After that I went to see the boss and he said he could draw out emotions with skin contact and spread through people"
"So that's what was happening I was going to ask you about that" I sighed in relief
"I also helped the villagers to another village fighting off grimm"
Land of Darkness
"Tyrian, the mission took longer than expected. Why?" A voice questions softly but with an urgent feeling
"I'm sorry, but I took a small detour and tricked a couple villages and showed that the grim didn't attack me they begged to fight under your name and killed any guests they could find" Tyrian explained his grin growing
"Interesting, and that tracker I molded" The women asked
"I gave it to one of those villagers hopefully we get useful info if someone like a hunter takes it since I can't give it to them directly" Tyrian snickered at his plan
"Yes, I do think it worked good job" The mistress said in delight but her face stayed cold like stone
