88
A Brief Intermission
Hello! I am Abode, the author of this awesome story. Well, it's not really very awesome just yet; chapter one is going well but, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a pretty slow writer. Anyway, I wrote this in-between-chapter not just to inform you that it's coming along soon, but also because I suck at summaries. I do, really, so here's a better, non-character-limited explanation of 88.
Within the Vongola, there is what's known as the Assistabra Famiglia, a group of rag-tag members who are sent in as backup to their leader should one of the leader's Guardians be unable to perform their duties. The rest of the Vongola Famiglia sees their job as taking advantage of other people's pain, and because Assistabra of the past were known to purposefully sabotage the Guardians so they'd have work, the Assistabra now are scorned by the Family, and all but one are restricted to the Vongola base in Italy. However, an incident involving the self-acclaimed leader of the Assistabra, Quinoa le Mink, and certain members of the CEDEF has given the Vongola the initiative to send the Assistabra on a trip to special training in Honolulu, Hawaii. Quinoa never showed to get on the Assistabra-only plane, stating he had a hangover and would catch a later flight. On the plane ride to Hawaii, the airplane makes an unscheduled stop in Japan. It turns out that the Calcassa are bitter with the Vongola, and they're staging a coup using the Assistabra as bargaining chips. The only problem is that the Assistabra know that they're not worth what the Calcassa thinks they are, and if worse comes to worse, they'll be abandoned by the Vongola and subsequently replaced. Desperate to keep their Family together, they send Chari Urwood, the only Assistabra allowed outside of Italy, to find and get the help of Vongola the 10th; the Assistabra have placed all their hopes on the 10th's assistance. The Calcassa, seeing this plan, are determined not to let the 10th intervene, and they've set a time limit of 48 hours until they're going to dispose of the other Assistabra.
So, yeah. Actually, I'm not sure that was much better than my original summary… but whatever! I hope you read the upcoming Chapter!
