A/N: OhMyGosh! So much response *looks at the other stories written* and faster compared to my recent stories…This is awesome!
It was going to be one-shot, but I couldn't resist the write more and it began to be too long for it be one-shot.
Just keep in mind this is an AU, is not canon after the Future arc.
Anyways here is the last part of Having Faith for the Future; what did happen in the future and why?
***WARNING: Later there will be some descriptive gory scenes (and bad attempt of censoring cursing), please read at your own risk***

10 YEARS LATER
SLAM!
Tsunayoshi's fist hit the table as he glared at the innocent-looking note, a ransom note precisely.
"ARE YOU FUDGING, SERIOUS?!" Everyone knew it was serious if their sky cursed like that.
Everyone in the top tier of the Vongola famiglia sat around the Vongola Round Table for their usual weekly meeting. Hayato was sat one the right seat feeling as annoyed as ever since he read the note first during his reading through the reports, after him was Lambo, Ryohei, Kyoya, Chrome, Mukuro, then Takeshi on Tsuna's left. Normally Reborn would be present, standing by the door looking all mysterious and powerful, but he was still on his mission helping Vongola boost its power up after the chaos and power vacuum caused by Byakuran's death.
"Vongola, what does it say?" Lambo bravely asked.
Tsunayoshi hesitated a second before deciding to be blunt, "Mom has been kidnapped."
"What?!" Everyone stood up.
They were happy when Nana Sawada appeared again from her disappearance with Iemitsu when everyone came back and their boss being alive again. Now with her being kidnapped, there will be blood spilled.
"I want names, places and anything. Also GET THAT FUDGING COWARD FATHER OF MINE ON THE LINE!" Normally everyone will be freaked out by Tsunayoshi's wrath, but they too feel furious against someone who dare to hurt one of their own.
After a week of fervently searching, they found the location.
Their bloodlust was boiling and just about to reach its peak. Tsunayoshi barely kept himself in check with his flames still not at their full force, hence not able to use his powerful attacks. His guardians had separated to different parts of the building to cover more ground.
Tsunayoshi was looking through the eerie empty rooms quietly (otherwise, have the enemy might panicked and hurt Nana) when he heard his communicator in his ear go off.
"Oi! You never guess what I found out," Hayato spoke, "There is only a single person in this place, but everyone else are just weird robots that take human shape!"
At this everyone smirked, no holding back then. Tsunayoshi was about to congratulate Hayato when there was a blast heard through their communication.
"Sh*t!" They heard Hayato cursed.
This made Tsunayoshi feel dread then notices the previously empty room fill up with the robots, "Hayato report! What happened?"
Then punches and kicks the robot down, but not before the creature power up a last attack and sprained Tsunayoshi's ankle. Tsuna muffled his pained shout so it wouldn't be heard in case of Hayato speaks up.
"F-f-found M-m-maman…and the only human—," Hayato gasped out, then the line died.
Then some speakers went off, "Attention you pathetic weak Vongola scums! I have your storm and if you wish him and the civilian woman, please surrender your box animals at the—CRASH!"
There was static for a second before the speaker went off again, but this time it was Hayato, "Hurry up to the S-south exit sid-de of the buildi-ding!"
Tsunayoshi frowns and quickly limps to hide himself once he finished clearing the room. He takes out his communicator tablet. He quickly tabs on it and waits for it to load up to signal the positions of his guardians. He found Hayato's at the south exit and sees another dot not labeled as robotic or enemy.
Must be Mom.
He quickly rushes out and summons his flames. Flying through the hallways, he passed Takeshi cutting through the enemy. The swordsman nods at him signaling he will catch up in a bit. Tsunayoshi passed through the center and looked worried at Mukuro. He still recovering from a recent cold, since his immune system is still being stabilized from being locked up too long. He taps his communicator, "Mist: Chrome."
"Yes, Bossu?" She quickly answered before panting and a stabbing was heard.
"Back up Mukuro, the enemies are getting worse here at the center point."
"On it, Bossu, Mist: C Out!" The communicator hanged up and Tsunayoshi narrowed his eyes as he sensed he was nearby.
Tsunayoshi arrived at the South exit before everyone else, yet to see his mother. Then he see the man smirking at him with his a smoking large weapon on both his hands.
He turns and almost forgot to breath when he watched his right hand man gasping as he covered his slicked red hand over his abdomen. His eyes flashed and growled rushing the man with his flames behind him.
It seems the Mafioso was startled by his speed, so he quickly pressed a button on the computer behind him. Tsunayoshi ignored his intuition blare a warning and flame punch this motherfudger who DARED to attack HIS BEST FRIEND!
The man practically went through a couple of walls. Tsunayoshi sensed his other friends are about to arrive when suddenly strange symbols glowed on his sleeves.
A computerized voice echoed through the room, "ACTIVATING SKY SEAL"
Tsunayoshi's eyes widen before his flames flared out through his sleeves and burning them before suddenly being put out. Unfortunately Tsunayoshi was flying at the moment of the sealing and fell on his bad leg, and end up breaking it, dropping his communicator tablet somewhere.
The room began to fill up with enemies before some of the walls exploded with rain flames and mist flames.
"Tsk!" Tsunayoshi takes out his rarely used pistol and loads it up before shooting the beings, enough for his present conscious guardians to finish up. He turns around toward Hayato while explosions going off as Lambo make his entrance.
Then hears a groan at the direction of the only human in this cursed place. Tsunayoshi quickly reloads his pistol and smirks.
They will pay!
Suddenly he felt like he was falling and feared these lunatics caught him in an illusion. He began to shoot before he sensed the danger warnings of his head go silent. He cursed, realizing the foggy look is actually the smoke from Lambo's bazooka.
DAMN! HOPEFULLY NO ONE GOT SHOT BY ME! Then realized what position his younger self will face. He cursed out loud this time.
When Tsunayoshi returned to his time, heard someone coughing then a scream of pain, "NOT AGAIN YOU CRAZY WOMAN!"
"Let me put you out of your misery, shall I?" He shots the robot a couple of times and on its head for good measure.
"Tsuna!" He looks at his mother who had a reprimand look.
"What? It was a robot, see that spark," then mutters to himself, "though why make them so weak?"
Then a chill went down his spine. He quickly turns around and see Hayato covered by his missing hoodie from years ago. He was gasping for breath. Tsunayoshi goes and puts pressure to his wound.
His mother picks up the communicator and with a slight shaking voice said, "R-ryohei-san, quickly, we are between Chrome-chan's and Lambo-chan's position."
"ON IT! I WILL PUNCHED THROUGH TO YOU TO THE EXTREME! BY THE WAY, THE FLAME SEAL IS DESTROYED VIA PUNCH OF DOOM!" Nana chuckles weakly at this.
The Vongola Decimo wasted no time and summoned his box animal, "Natsu!"
He was thankful that he no longer had to worry about saying the whole command for his box animal do what it needs to do like in this case manifest itself into a large cloak that shimmers such a way that it becomes transparent.
Tsunayoshi worries about the closed eyes of his right hand man, but thankful of his younger self for buying him time.
BOOM!
A wall and a nearby defending Mafioso flew and broke in pieces. Ryohei comes out of the gole anf looks around. He obly stopped to the grim look of his boss and Nana. He practically stamped through anyone in his path, straight to the trio.
Tsunayoshi quickly took down the shield and let Ryohei in. Then closed it before any enemy tried to get in. The Sawada pair only released their breath when Ryohei gave them the clear.
"THIS WILL BE ENOUGH UNTIL WE TAKE HIM BACK TO HQ, THE EXTREME. SHAMAL IS ALREADY ON EXTREME STANDBY!"
"Thank…you, Onii…san," Tsunayoshi started to breath too fast, too exhausted on holding the shield at maximum capacity
"THERE ARE NO MORE CRAZY ZOMBIE THINGS!" At this Tsunayoshi notices now how silent the battlefield become, "EXTREMELY GO TO SLEEP BOSS!"
Decimo blankly stares at his sun guardian's last words, similar what his younger self told him. He began to laugh and clutched his stomach as he goes nonstop before passing out.
"You son of BI—BOOM!" Something exploded near Tsuna and felt something rain over him. He rubs the liquid off his face and tries to see where he is.
Unfortunately there was too much noise going on and explosions and screams that Tsuna began to get a headache. Through the ringing he distantly hears someone shout, "Give it up now Vongola scums!"
"KUFUFUFU, WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER TO ROACHES LIKE YOU!" Then Tsuna hears someone scream, so unnatural that he covered his hears to not hear it. Then he heard how the scream suddenly cut off with a sharp liquid gurgle. He tried not to imagine what it meant.
There were too many bullets and flying weaponry flying about, that Tsuna decided to crawl away from this insane battle. What is his older self doing? Shouldn't the horrible future change? Or did it only get worse?!
Then felt his finger touch something warm and slightly crispy?
It was a face. Or more like only the head of a twisted look of hatred and horror showed on the half burnt face. Tsuna quickly pulled back his arm and notice his arm covered in blood. His hand trembled as he touched his face, realizing what the liquid from earlier was.
His breath began to become erratic when he faintly sensed rain flames. He looks up and sees someone wielding a familiar blade surrounded by two box animals.
It's Yamamoto! Tsuna was about to shout when his words died on his lips.
Yamamoto was laughing maniacally as he cut down many armed Mafiosos like sushi. Tsuna stared horrified at the cut down salami men and women. Then fought swordsman with a mask and was cut down after his blade shattered by Yamamoto.
He heard something sparking like electricity and turns to stare at the older Lambo who was smirking under a familiar helmet.
"BURN OR BETTER YET STAY DEAD YOU WORTHLESS BEINGS!"
Tsuna doesn't understand. He thought for sure there should be peace. Does this mean his friends will be dragged into another war?! One where they lost their sanity and fought maliciously?
Somehow through all the screams of terror and frustration, Tsuna hears someone groan weakly close to him. Tsuna turns and sees the older self of Gokudera.
He quickly crawls to him as he ducks any wayward bullets to his future version of his friend.
"Gokude-dera?" Tsuna croaks out. He tries to only stare at his glassy eyes and ignore the rest of his best friend's body.
"…Tsuna?" At this Tsuna muffles a sob. His best friend never calls him by his name and here he is almost dying and his last words is his name.
Unfortunately this led him see how something pierced through his stomach without counting the cuts and burns.
"Y-you're going to-to be f-fine," Tsuna swallowed another sob that tried to escape, "Hayato-kun."
"Hm…been awhile…you call me with….kun," Tsuna isn't sure what he feels when Hayato closes his eyes. He took off his favorite hooded sweater and tried to stop the blood from leaving his body. His whole body shook for fear of Hayato's life. He looks around and realizes it isn't just the enemies getting cut down, but his guardians as well.
Hibari was pushed down by a giant Mafioso who was surprisingly fast. He can see the scowl on his face and the how he favored one arm as he attacked with his tonfas
It was Chrome who was laughing earlier and was piercing and weaving illusions, "No one shall pass to hurt Storm-san and Maman!"
Tsuna froze. The only person that Chrome will call Maman is his mother. Does that mean..?
"OI! TSUNA! WHERE IS YOUR EXTREME LOCATION AND CONDITION?!" Tsuna looks down and next to them was a communicator upside down.
"Well, well, did the boss brought even his brat?" Tsuna stared at the assassin's bloody smile. He takes out a gun and points at Tsuna. The gun clicked, but Tsuna was frozen as his hands tried to block the blood from older Gokudera's wound.
Suddenly the man gagged and groaned to the ground showing his mother's furious face, "How dare you hurt my son like that!"
"MOM?! WHA—HOW—SINCE WHEN—" Tsuna gaps at the sudden appearance of his mother, but it was interrupted as the downed man groaned and started to get up.
Tsuna didn't think he couldn't go into HDW mode without his pills, or didn't have his gloves, all he thought was protect his mother and do it with his dying will. Then he felt a sudden sensation of falling through a small tube and everything was foggy.
…
"Ngh…"
Tsunayoshi snapped awake at the groan. He looks over Hayato, who was blinking at the bright light on the hospital bed.
"Morning, sleepy beauty," Tsunayoshi greets him with a crooked smile.
"Tsuna? Your mother! Is she...?!" Hayato tried to sit up, but was pushed down gently by Tsunayoshi.
"She is fine," Tsunayoshi laughs, "I heard she done got the leader and some of the weird clone things. Wished I had seen it."
"Weird clones…You've been talking with that Sword Idiot haven't you?"
"Who else would I be able to talk to?" Tsunayoshi muttered, but Hayato caught it.
Before Hayato could say something to comfort his boss, Tsunayoshi smirks, "With all of you being such a handful, I forgotten how adorable you all look ten years ago. So chubby and innocent and only capable of destroying one room…"
Hayato looked confused at him when Tsunayoshi covers half his face in one hand, "What were the odds of being hit by the bazooka and being landed during the worst battle ever without being even prepared."
"What?" Hayato wonders if he might still suffering from a concussion, then again his sky has a tendency of talking to himself about the weirdest things.
"Haha, Hayato! You're up!" Takeshi entered silently into the room that only until he spoke, they heard him.
"Honestly Takeshi, must you really bathe in the blood of your enemies in front of my younger self?" Hayato frowns at Tsunayoshi, not understanding what he meant.
He couldn't mean he switched..?
"Opps? I guess I had some venting out?" Takeshi scratched his bandaged cheek, "Oh yeah, Mukuro is going to be alright especially with the whipping Chrome gave him for going overboard with the illusions with him just recovering from the cold of last week."
Tsunayoshi sighs in relief and chuckles nervously, "He isn't the only one."
"EXTREME! LITTLE BROTHER! YOUR MOTHER JUST EXTREMELY PUTS YOUR FATHER IN HIS PLACE!"
"Hopefully now he appreciates her. Glad he had to guts to finally tell Mom about the truth," Tsunayoshi huffs.
Hayato looks at his, "But Tsuna-sama, didn't you told her about the mafia the day after your inheritance ceremony?"
"He doesn't know that, but he will be surprised," Tsunayoshi cackles evilly, leaving his three guardians disturbed.
It's very (extremely) fortunate that your younger self didn't (extremely) met you! You are the most (extremely) scariest of us all! Takeshi and Ryohei thought to themselves.
"Well, we all glad we able to rescue you and Maman," Takeshi smiles at Hayato.
"Whatever," Hayato looks away, but touched. Then he raises an eyebrow at them making them wary what is he going to say next, "Besides I bet you guys forget to eat without me reminding you or get some paperwork get done, Tsu-na-sa-ma."
Tsunayoshi looks at his empty wrist, "Oh no, look at the time! I will leave you in capable hands, Hayato," then he walks rather quickly to the door.
Hayato rolled his eyes, but happy to see his boss being his goofy self. He suspects since Maman was whisked away and him recovering, everyone wasn't on their right minds…wait a minute!
"What do you mean, how you forgotten how adorable we were ten years ago? You make it sound like you switch…?" Hayato stares at Tsunayoshi in horror when he watches the slight flinch that only those close to Tsunayoshi can see.
Hayato perfectly remembers in what kind of mind state everyone were fighting those things that look human, but actually robots that imitate the human body. This lead them to not to hold back their promise of killing a human life and willing to make the enemy suffer the worst possible way. Anyone who dares to hurt Vongola and makes Tsunayoshi work harder than he should, must suffer with him still recovering from his death-like state. Triple more with the stakes of Nana Sawada and Hayato's lives on the line.
And if his boss's past self happens to land there without explanation of what in the world is going on…
That would not have ended well. Hayato looks up at his boss in concern.
"Don't worry, Hayato," Tsunayoshi gives him a kind look as he stood next to the door, "Seeing you better, does wonders for us."
But Hayato knew he meant Tsunayoshi himself and he was glad. The lingering frighten look Tsunayoshi always had whenever they left for a mission, disappeared.
"I will do my best and get better as soon as possible, Juudaime," he smirks when Tsunayoshi goodheartedly groans and lets in the eavesdropping visitors.
Tsunayoshi glares at the rest of his guardians unapologetic looks they gave him, but smiles as the room fill up with more visitors and chaos reigns once more.
