As the fighting continues, a flash of blinding light appears suddenly. I move closer to Mukuro out of fear. There's such a strong feeling of uneasiness in the air. What looks like a giant glowing man with long hair appears. My eyes dart to anywhere, but the giant when I realize that he's not wearing anything. Mukuro covers my eyes with his hands suddenly. "Don't look," he says. I squeeze my eyes shut and nod. I listen as the other people speak. Even his allies sound uneasy? I hear shock as Bel's knives, I think, go through the giant and it remains unharmed.
"An illusion?!" the Storm Guardian exclaims.
"What do you two think?" Mukuro asks.
I reply, "I can't see…" Mukuro reluctantly takes his hands away and lets me see again. I focus on the giant's face and shake my head. "It doesn't seem to be," I say.
Fran nods in agreement. "My gut tells me that it's not an illusion."
"Correct," Mukuro replies. I look up at him. Why does he look so amused? "That is the real thing." After watching Levi's attack, it seems that the flames don't affect him. I scratch Katsu behind the ears absentmindedly as I try and figure out what to do next. The Sun and Storm Guardians combine with Basil's box weapon and attacks the giant, Ghost, with an insane amount of flames. I put my arms up in front of me as there's a massive explosion.
The strength of the explosion is crazy. I manage to open one of my eyes and look to see what's happening. The flames are faltering. The smoke disappears and Ghost appears unharmed, but there's something surrounding him now. Suddenly, flames shoot out of the thing surrounding him and one of them hits his ally- the little girl, Bluebell. Her eyes widen in fear and then she shrivels until she ceases to exist. Mukuro holds his trident out in front of me. "What?" he asks.
"He took out his own ally?" Basil asks.
Levi's stingray gets hit and it shatters like pottery. "Torpedine Fulmine!" he exclaims. I pull out the box for Katsu immediately and withdraw him from the fight. My precious box weapon will not face the same fate as Levi's stingray. Xanxus seems annoyed now. He flies up and attacks Ghost. My eyes widen as his flames get absorbed.
"The flames from my ring..." Hibari says. I look over to him and find that his flames are getting drawn away, much like the battle with Verde. It seems like it's happening to everyone. I look at my ring, which is also leaking flames.
"It's leaking flames when I'm not doing anything! I'm going to lose all my stamina!" Bel exclaims.
Lussuria dodges the attacks from Ghost extremely quickly and then exclaims, "We can't leave our rings on! The same goes for our Box Weapons! The flames have no effect!"
"Idjit! This is Ghost's awakening! Doesn't matter which side you're on!" Zakuro exclaims as he dodges, "We're all dead!"
Mukuro looks back into the forest and I look at him blankly. He starts to walk into the forest, so I follow. I spot Dokuro, and then I understand what's going on. "What is that?" she asks as one of Ghost's attacks come by. Mukuro pulls her away from the attack and she gasps.
"It's dangerous here," Mukuro says as he pulls her closer. I look away
"Eh?" she asks softly.
Mukuro tells her, "You've done well to survive so long, Chrome. No, Nagi."
"Mukuro-sama…" she says quietly. I jump out of the way quickly as another attack from Ghost comes around. I let out a quiet sigh.
"Oh? You're hurt," Mukuro comments.
"I'm so glad…" I hear Dokuro mutter. "I'm so glad."
Mukuro comments, "Oya, oya. Losing consciousness now? That's troubling." I spot another attack coming by, heading directly to Mukuro. My heart skips a beat. I can't get there in time…! Fran shows up and blocks the attack with an amusing box weapon of Bel. It even says "ow."
I let out a sigh. "Thanks, Fran," I say. He looks at me and nods.
"Master, your very existence is so gruesome that it's not surprising she'd faint," Fran comments.
"Drop the cheekiness and the ridiculous Box Weapon," Mukuro commands.
"It hurts when my flames are being sucked away," Fran comments emotionlessly. Even his frog hat is shriveling up. "Master, save me."
Mukuro seems to be taking his time. "We need to establish what that is." He takes the Mist ring and says, "Mukurowl. Cambio Forma." A set of lenses appears in front of his right eye. Daemon Spade's Devil Lens? I watch Mukuro's expression. He looks troubled. That doesn't seem good.
I press on the earpiece. "Sawada-san, I'm sure someone has told you about the situation by now. Run with Yuni and the others now, while you still have a chance," I say. "Run."
I frown as I look at Kikuyo's expression. Zakuro was killed too. This is too horrible... What is Byakuran thinking? Sending out something like this knowing that his allies would get killed… My frown deepens. It's just like the Phantom Knight. I glance at Kikuyo again. He and I… No, all of them, Ken, Chikusa, and I were all in the same position. Saved from our misfortune by someone else…and then pledging our loyalty to that person. I guess that we all have a connection in that way.
I shake my head and focus on the task at hand. There must be something that can be done. Anything at all. Just something to slow Ghost down. He seems to just walk through everything though. No amount of explosions or weapons thrown at him will affect him in any way. He'll just walk through it without stopping even a little. Just like a real ghost. I stumble a little and nearly fall backwards. The amount of flames taken away from me was too much. There's no way I could manage to light even the tiniest of flames at this rate.
I wince. I feel light headed. I hear more voices. It seems like some more worn-out allies are slowly appearing. The Rain Guardian, Squalo, and the Bronco appeared, I think. Someone grabs me by the shoulders suddenly and I gasp. I get pulled out of the way of an attack that I didn't even realize was coming my way. I look up and find Mukuro looking back down at me. "T-Thank you," I manage to say.
"You should be more careful," he says. I nod. "This is bad. He appeared out of nowhere, as if he teleported in. It's possible that he'll use the energy he's absorbed to move far away again."
"Which means," the Sung Guardian starts.
"He'll jump straight to Yuni!" the Storm Guardian exclaims. I grit my teeth. Now what? Sawada better have run. At least if we all don't know where he and Yuni are, Ghost won't be able to find them as quickly.
The Bronco exclaims, "He's incredibly powerful after absorbing flames from both ally and foe! The looks bad!" I frown.
"I won't let that happen!" Sawada's voice exclaims. My eyes widen as Tsuna comes flying over. Idiot! You should have run while you could have! Then again, I was wrong to begin with, thinking that Sawada would ditch us here and run off. He wouldn't be able to accept that decision, would he?
"That's…" the Rain Guardian starts. He's smiling. I guess that his appearance certainly did raise everyone's hopes.
"Our boss!" the Storm Guardian finishes.
Kikuyo says, "Vongola Decimo…"
I look blankly at Mukuro as he mutters, "Sawada, Tsunayoshi." I look back to Sawada. It seems that His flames are already being absorbed, even from further away. Sawada seems to notice this too and he switches his stance.
"That stance is for stealing enemy flames!" the Bronco exclaims.
"Deathperation Point Zero Revised!" Squalo exclaims.
Basil exclaims, "Sawada-dono is going to try to absorb is flames!" He's going to try and beat Ghost at absorbing flames? What's going to happen?
Both Sawada and Ghost start absorbing each other flames. "Both sides are absorbing flames?!" Kikuyo exclaims. "What's going to happen?!" I shield my eyes and brace myself as a bright light surrounds us. Without a doubt, there's going to be an explosion of some sort. What's going to happen from here…?
