Sorry if the story is a little confusing. I was watching some drama anime related stuff, so I was pretty much facing an existential crisis. And sorry again but that is not the chapter I said it would be good in the last chapter. I decided to focus on the consistency of the story, and since the next chapter is about Tsuna, only the chapter after that will be the good one (I hope).

Enjoy

Vongola.

The biggest and strongest mafia family in the entire word. Mafia. That really sounded like something that should never be messed with, but it was definitely not what Ben was seeing there.

"I order you to obey Lambo-san!"

"What do you want kid?"

"Lambo-san will steal your magic bracelet while you sleep!"

"It's a watch"

"Yes, watch the greatness of Lambo-san!"

Ben was completely done with this brat. He looks a little to the side and curves his head to whisper to Reborn, who is in a woman shoulder.

"Reborn, are you sure you are mafia?"

Reborn glances at Lambo and then back to the front.

"Don't underestimate us Ben. Lambo may be an annoying brat, but he is useful when it comes to defend the family. Also don't address me so casually, I still don't trust you"

In a sense this baby was sure one of the scariest people Ben had ever found.

He explained about a boy named Sawada Tsunayoshi who was a no good boy and descendant to be the Tenth boss of the Vongola. But he didn't know of that until Reborn (greatest hitman in the world) was asked by the Ninth boss to train him.

According to Reborn, Tsuna has bad grades, is a coward and really weak. But he is improving. In a place with so much scary people, Ben couldn't help but feel that the presence of a guy like that would make the atmosphere a lot better.

"So… Why are you guys in the future again?"

"Humph, you really are an idiot"

"I am not an idiot! I just forgot!"

"He is bothering you Reborn? Should I give him one of my cookies?"

The woman named Bianchi was looking at him in a very menacing way. She had long pink hair and a green sleeveless shirt, Ben didn't know too much about her, but knowing that she loves Reborn and is a master in poison cooking is everything he had to remember.

"N-no, sorry. I was just curious"

"Heh. Don't worry Ben. They are just missing Tsuna"

"Oh, so that's how they normally treat him?"

"Yep, they are funny aren't they?"

Yamamoto gave his characteristic laugh, that now sounded not much more than a confirmation he wasn't the brightest person in there.

"I am stuck with a bunch of weirdos…"

Ben really lamented being there. That's, until he saw that girl walking past him. She had purple hair that was tied in a way that looked a little like a pineapple and purple eyes, she was a little short and wore an eye patch with a silver skull decoration and a uniform that looked like some military clothes. She was really cute and Ben even felt his face burning little bit for thinking that.

'Whoa. Calm down Ben, she can be dangerous don't lower your guard'

"Excuse me, what is your name?"

Ben gave himself an imaginary slap for forgetting what he just thought.

The girl's eyes got really wide for a moment before she looked at the ground and answered.

"C-Chrome Dokuro"

"That… is a really cute name"

Ben said that a little half-assed since he was surprised, but she didn't seem to mind and only nodded slowly.

"Thank you"

"We are at the future because of an accident" Said the infamous baby, probably giving up on ignoring Ben.

"Accident?"

"We have a device called Ten-Year Bazooka that when shot, exchange the person hit with their 10 years self for five minutes. Me and Tsuna were shot, and soon Yamamoto, Gokudera, Lambo, Kyoko, Haru and Chrome. We discovered that in this future the Vongola was almost destroyed and went into hiding, all because of a man named Shoichi Irie and his boss Byakuran. So we decided to defeat those guys and in their base find a way to get back home"

"Can you do that?"

"Tsuna has been dreaming lately of a big round white machine, we don't know what it is, but it sure means there is something hidden in there. Especially since it was in their plant"

"But… How can someone have a prophecy dream?"

"It must be Vongola Hyper-Intuition, it helps you find what is hidden and discover what doesn't wants to be discovered"

"So it's like an intuition that is right a lot of times"

"Something like that. We are currently training to invade their base"

"That sounds cool. Where are the training grounds?"

"Right here"

Everyone stopped where a huge door stood, Bianchi calmly opened it. The room was huge, with white ceiling and green and white walls.

Ben noticed a wall had a part of it destroyed and some burned parts around it.

"What happened here?"

"Training"

Hum, so that was the kid that appeared when Sawada disappeared. He seemed a pretty normal boy, but according to what Reborn said, he must be EXTREME!

"Here, guys!"

"Ryohei, you will take care of him"

"Yosh! Count with me!"

"Wait, what?"

The boy was clearly not happy for being treated like a pet.

"I don't need someone taking care of me"

"He is not taking care of you"

Reborn coldness was something to be admired.

"He is here to put the blame on you if something goes wrong"

"Wait, but…"

"Listen here you brat, the only reason you are still alive is because you are still a kid. Don't complain about your luck"

Ben immediately shut up after Bianchi words. Ryohei even felt a little pity for the boy, it's not like they were that bad, but putting fear in someone is probably the best way to keep everyone safe. Especially with the girls, Tsuna would be devastated if something were to happen to Haru and Kyoko, without counting how Ryohei would get mad if his sister was hurt. His fists immediately clenched from the thought, but he soon released them after noticing that it would be bad to redirect his anger at an (for now) innocent person.

"Don't worry Ben! We will have some extreme training here and you will have fun with our family!"

Family…

Given in how much weird situations Ben has ever got himself into, he never gave too much deep thought in this technically regular happenings, but this time it was different. He was in some other place, in the middle of something BIG and their leader and friend was gone because of him in a certain way, Ben couldn't help but feel guilty for all that happened. What if he never saw his family and friends anymore? Dad, mom, Gwen, Kevin, Grandpa Max, Julie…

Julie, Ben didn't want to think of that now.

Then something stuck him, and if this Tsuna was in his place? Given how they exchanged positions it would make sense. Ben was sure the others have already thought of that. Bianchi was right. Not only keeping him alive, but also giving him food and shelter was a really good thing for them to do.

'How must Tsuna be dealing with this situation?'

Deep inside he felt himself rooting for that Gwen had found him. For some reason Ben was feeling really empathic about this guy. Maybe because they seem alike, maybe because he thinks that Tsuna is the only person who can understand what he is passing through.

"Something bothering you kid?"

Asked the white haired man with a bandage over his nose. He was wearing a black suit like the man with black hair from before, but his shirt was yellow instead of purple.

His face was straight for the first time since Ben put his eyes on him.

"No… Only thinking too much"

"Humph. I understand, you have people you miss. Don't worry, maybe these guys won't work with all their strength to send you back to your home, but they will do so to bring Tsuna back, and Tsuna will do so to aid anyone who needs help"

"Thanks, Tsuna looks like a cool guy"

"He forgives everyone and never holds grudges; I guess that's why everyone likes him. Now why don't we begin a match to distract ourselves?"

His smile reappeared and Ben could swear he saw his eyes flashing for a second.

"What?"

"Don't worry I will take lightly on you. Reborn said you don't have flames anyway"

Ben remembered Reborn said something about flames when they first met.

"Oh yeah, what are these flames anyway?"

"You don't know? It's weird someone who has a thing powerful as that in his pulse never heard of flames"

"Well, I know what FLAMES are. They burn things and stuff. But you talk like it was some strength measurer"

"Flames represent your fighting spirit. How EXTREME you are!"

"Oh, so it's like inner strength?"

"Well, yeah. Makes you able to do impossible stuff. Like this!"

Ben was about to ask what he meant but was interrupted by a yellow beam of light passing right by his side and hitting the wall. He instinctively looked back to see Ryohei with his fist extended and smoke coming out of it.

"Wow. Can I learn to do things like this too?"

"Maybe, but you need to get stronger. So let's fight!"

"Okay, you asked for it!"

Gaining some confidence from the thought of shooting lasers, Ben activated his Ultimatrix and selected one of his favorite forms before slamming the dial down.

"Humungousaur!"

Ben had just turned in a humanoid dinosaur with brown skin and a very well developed body.

"Ha, interesting! That's what I call extreme! Lets fight to our hearts content!"

Humungousaur swung his fist trying to hit the white haired man first. Only for him to disappear completely from sight in an instant.

"Wh-, where is he?"

"Don't you dare hold back on me!"

Ben turned his head and saw Ryohei flying with some metal boots that were shooting yellow sparkly flames out of it. He pulled his fist back and some yellow energy started to form around it.

"Oh crap!"

Upon seeing what Ryohei was about to do, Humungousaur ducked and tried giving an uppercut, after the white haired man fist stuck the air. He managed to hit him and a huge grin appeared on the dinosaur face, but it didn't last long as he saw the same grin on his opponent face.

"That is all you got? You won't be able to defeat me like that!"

That was it. Ben didn't like when people looked down on him, especially if it was someone who looked like a normal human. Deciding to unload all his tension, Humungousaur slammed his fists into the ground making a huge amount of rocks to go up.

Ryohei protected his face with the hands but doing so prevented him from seeing the huge monster. After the rocks and the dust were gone he didn't had to look around too much for Ben as he felt something grab his leg. Ryohei tried to fly out of it but he grip was too strong, he was about to hit it to get free, but the air pressure from being swung down prevented him from doing so. As if his life depended on it, the monster slammed Ryohei against the concrete of the ground. It didn't hurt too much, but after feeling his body flying in a parabola he knew Ben was going to strike him again. As he did, again and again. Until the slamming got slower, what probably meant his arm was getting tired.

Since he was getting weak and would sure turn into Ben in no time, Humungousaur summoned all the strength left and threw the white haired man in the ceiling. Hitting it with all his strength and breaking a part of it made Ryohei eyes close, probably meaning he was a little numb, so Ben used this chance, and before he could regain his senses, struck him with a direct punch at the moment Ryohei got the same height as his arms while falling. The punch sent him flying and crashing at the wall, Ben was starting to get worried since they would probably yell at him for destroying a lot of the training area.

Okay, that was it. Ryohei decided to stop playing mister nice guy, and after getting out of the wall rubbish he flied with its max speed in the direction of the monster. When suddenly a flash of green light appeared and the dinosaur was gone, only to reveal a teenager standing there.

"What happened? Got out of battery?"

"Something like that"

The boy was panting and sweat formed in his forehead.

"Why don't we rest a little?"

"Sounds good to me. This flames thing is really useful"

It was obvious that Ben noticed how even after so many punches from the dinosaur, Ryohei remained with only some scratches.

"Ha! You should see the others, they really do a lot of extreme stuff"

"So you guys can do different things than just shoot lasers?"

"Of course, it all depends on your fighting style and what your flame is"

"Wait, there is more than just one flame?"

"Yeah, there are seven of them, the Seven Flames of the Sky. Each guardian and the boss possess one of them"

Ben remembered Reborn talked to him about how "guardians" were the people who are part of Tsuna family and protect their boss. Each of them has a personality that fits the role that they are in.

"So Tsuna has six guardians? I think I saw more people than that here. Who are they?"

"Well we are technically over our quest to find all the guardians, so I guess there is no harm in telling you. Tsuna has the flame of the sky, given normally to people who have an ability to understand who is around him and accept who they are. His guardians are Gokudera who has the Flame of the Storm, Yamamoto who has the Flame of the Rain, Lambo who has the Flame of the Lightning, Hibari who has the Flame of the Cloud, me who has the Flame of the Sun and Chrome and Mukuro who have the Flame of the Mist"

Some of them Ben knew already, it's weird how Lambo can be a guardian given the brat he is. Was Hibari that black haired scary guy he saw a while ago? But why there are two guardians of the mist? Just when he was about to ask Ryohei about this, an alarm sounded and Lal Mirch came running into the room.

"The Millefiore! They are here!"

"What? How they discovered our stronghold?"

"I don't know but… Byakuran is with them"

Ben could pretty much relate this guy to Vilgax given the face Ryohei made to said name.

"Where are we?"

"It's an abandoned military base, you can call it Los Soledad"

Tsuna looked around the place, it had only some small dormitories like the ones he saw in war movies.

"You said someone could help right? What are we looking for?"

"A paradox"

The chilling air around them could only get worse, by the sound of nobody.

Well guys that was it. I think we got some descent action scenes and I could explain almost everything Ben needed to know, it's really a pain to not drop everything right at his head but this would made the story boring. As you probably noticed by now I am not following completely the story of the Future Arc, a little because of originality and a little because I can't remember well what happened in said arc. And let's agree that counting how much different things KHR! has, their wiki is kinda bad.

Ben and Chrome pairing maybe? I will be honest with you, I can't really see that happening, but I am willing to give it a try, as long as there are no objections.

I wrote almost half of it while listening to Echo by Jason Walker and Safe & Sound from Taylor Swift, just for you to see the mental state I was in.
