He walked down the long corridor. His eyes shifted back and forth every time it came to an intersection.
After about twenty minutes of walking down the hall he came to an opening. The opening was a large room that had a large round table with many seats that surrounded it.
As he looked around the room he saw a set of stairs below him that lead down toward the table. He took a deep breath and started to head toward it.
When he got there he noticed that at each seat was a name card that seemed to have something written in several languages.
He scanned the languages until he found one he could read and slowly circled around until he found the name card with his name on it. He walked over to his seat and sat down.
He scanned the room again and noticed a woman who was sitting across from him. She was skinny with white hair of at least shoulder length hair that he could see. She had piercing blood red eyes, and wore a cheongsam, he wasn't sure how long, it was black and had a white dragon design on the front.
As he looked her over she folded her hands in front of her and gave a small smile. "Like what you see?" she asked in impeccable English, her voice was soft and pleasant to listen to.
"I'm sorry, when I walked in I didn't notice you right away" he confessed with a hint of a blush on his face.
Her smile widened as she let out a small laugh. "My name is Chi, I'm the representative of the Chinese triad for the meeting, who are you?" she asked with a smile.
He opened his mouth to speak when a loud crash and yelling interrupted him. Both occupants in the room looked over toward where the noise was coming from.
"What da fuck do you mean they can't come?" came a loud voice. There was a silence until they heard the voice yell again. "Dat don't mean shit to me, and what the fuck do you mean I can't fucking bring my gun, Dude's gotta at least save his own ass before saving some else." There was silence again until two loud gun shots were heard.
Both occupants stiffened for a second before a man came out holding a smoking .50 mm Desert Eagle. The man was black with a baggy blue shirt. He had baggy blue jeans and blue sneakers; on his head was a blue ball cap and a blue bandana around his neck.
"Sup fuckers, Damn I didn't know dat they let hoes in here" he said as he sat next to Chi who just smiled.
"If you're going to be around me could you please put THAT away?" she asked pointing at the Desert Eagle.
Jerome narrowed his eyes at her, "bitch you don't tell me what to do" he said as he pointed the gun at her.
"Now, now there doesn't need to be any violence here." He said as he stood up trying to calm the other man down.
"Shit, do you know who I am?" asked the other male as he pointed the gun at him.
"Yes I do, Jerome and you don't scare me, but do you know who I am?" he asked feeling bolder.
Jerome paused a moment unsure on how to answer. "I am Mathew Parker and I'm the head of the Indian posse* of Canada, so if you don't want to be taken out or have your life be hell, I would be showing others respect" he said.
Jerome stood there for a moment. "Who da fuck cares who you are, I'm the fucking head of the Crips, and bitch we'll crush you and your fucking country."
"Gentlemen, gentlemen there is no need for violence" said a man who was walking down the steps toward the table, he was also followed by about ten people who all came and sat around the table.
Everyone became quiet as they watched the new comer. "Now that I have your attention, I think it's high time that you sit down and shut the fuck up." He said with a smile that screamed 'listen or else'.
Everyone listened and sat down, the third man smiled as lumbered down the stair way. The man was large but quite tall with a wide girth. He had on a nice three piece suit that barely fit around his large gut. He had bright red hair and blue eyes that showed brightly even in the artificial light inside the room. He carried himself as if he was the most important man in the world.
"Now that everyone is here, I would like to welcome everyone here to this meeting he said once he got to his seat with a name plate that read Ian Malcomson.
"Now I know that this is only a handful of us, but I know that you are going to be the ones that best represent us and have the best minds in thinking on ways to take down our enemies."
Everyone in the room stayed silent until Mathew stood and spoke.
"We all know that these people are affected by what happens to the countries the lands and economies. So I propose that we strike hard and quick. Something that they won't expect, though lasting enough to cripple them for a while."
"What do you propose Mathew?" asked Ian.
"I propose that we hit them with a couple of bomb strikes, we start off in a small town or village in a danger prone nations, like Syria, Afghanistan, or Iraq and have the local faction claim responsibility. We do that a couple of times until the larger players take interest.
Then we move to a different part of the world, like the south west Russia near the Black Sea, and attack there, again having the local faction to take blame and threaten the larger nations. By then most of the larger nations will start profiling other nations until one of us comes in and bombs a large city in a western nation." He suggested.
"That would take a long time and that is something we don't have. Already these people are calling on aid. They have called the Vongola for aid." replied Ian as he intertwined his sausage like fingers together.
"The Vongola already?" asked one of the other occupants in the room.
Ian nodded "Yes my sources tell me that the newest generation of the Vongola family had arrived in New York a little over a week ago, and they are already making plans to try and stop us."
The room was silent until the sound of chuckling filled the room. Everyone in the room turned and looked at Chi.
"You people make it sound like this is a difficult problem." She said while still chuckling. "The answer is simple, were going to kill two birds with one stone" she said finally calming down.
"What stones would that be, bitch?" asked Jerome.
"We ambush the older Vongola generation on their turf" She said.
Shock and cries of outrage quickly came forth but Chi waited until it quieted down again. "The reason I propose this is because the two birds would be the Vongola family crippled because all their predecessors are gone there would be no one to truly guide them, and the other would be the founder of the Mafia and the representative of Southern Italy, Lovino Vargus" she said with a calm smile on her face.
The room was silent until Ian stood, "We will commence this plan in one week" no one objected and only a handful of people nodded agreeing with the plan and then they all stood. "I would recommend that you have your people rested by the time we commence the attack, until then meeting adjourned." He said before he waddled out of the meeting hall.
~*One Week Later*~
Tsuna sighed as he loosened his tie as he sat down on one of the couches in the break room. They were on a break from planning everything.
Looking back he learned much from the countries, for example that each country possessed all seven flames but only one was more dominant then the others depending on what the population majority had. He knew that Alfred had predominantly sun flames, which was to be expected with his countries advances in medicine. Arthur had mostly mist flames as he was heavily influenced by black magic and his large spy work with MI6. Feliciano had rain flames which showed in his personality that seemed to remind Tsuna of Yamamoto in a way. Lovino on the other hand, his personality seemed more like Gokudera when his temper was let loose all the time. Frances's flames was cloud which explained a lot with how he acted with Arthur, which he saw the same thing between Hibari and Mukuro. Ivan was different from the others because he had two dominant flames, Mist and storm. Though he still gave Tsuna the creeps he could kind of understand where he was coming from with Reborn's crash course in the histories of the G8. Kiku could use mostly thunder flames because of his people's advances in technology, though later said that he prefers rain over the others. Ludwig had Storm flames; with his large body bulk Tsuna could understand why. Last was Mathew who had mist flames. He claimed that since the American Revolution that he had been expelling it unintentionally and is probably the reason why he becomes so invisible.
Tsuna sighed as he tried to sort the information he gained in the proper places in his head. "You look like you have a lot on your mind brat" came a voice.
Tsuna looked up not at all surprised to see Lovino there standing against the wall.
"No, just going over everything, it's still a little over whelming."
Lovino scuffed "Don't worry brat you'll" Lovino's words drifted off.
Lovino-san?" asked Tsuna.
Lovino stood completely still for a minute before he clutched his chest and collapsed on his knees coughing.
"Lovino-san!" cried Tsuna as he rushed over to the southern Italian.
"Shit, get the others" wheezed Romano as he crippled onto his side and started seizing.
Tsuna jumped to his feet before sprinting down the hall to the conference room.
He shoved the doors open so hard that they banged loudly on the adjacent walls. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the slightly out of breath boss.
"Something's wrong with Lovino-san" he said.
It took a moment before Germany and the other man Tsuna remembered introducing himself as Spain got to their feet and rushed out the door and down into the room, while Tsuna lead the way.
When they got there Romano had stopped seizing and somehow dragged himself to the closest trashcan and was vomiting into it.
Spain rushed forward to try and comfort the Italian while Germany turned to look at Tsuna.
"Go back and get America, England, Japan, and that guy with the bear" said German as he started to take note on Romano's condition.
Tsuna nodded and headed back out the door down the hall to the others where he opened the doors again. Tsuna looked around the room, he spotted the people he needed and rushed over. Alfred-san, Arthur-san, Honda-san, Williams-san, Ludwig-san said he needed you to help Lovino-san."
All the countries stood with America in the lead yelling out as he rushed out the door that the 'Hero was on his way' the others followed the American down the hall into the break room. Tsuna was hot on their heels in case they needed something again. He had returned to the room to see Romano was out cold on the floor blood was stained down his shirt and was dripping out the corner of his mouth.
"What the bloody hell happened?" asked England as he looked over at both Spain and German who were both covered in blood.
"He started to vomit blood, it surprised us. Do you know what happened yet?" asked the Spaniard as he moved slightly so that the others could get better access to the Italian and start healing his internal wounds.
"We haven't received any calls yet, and Feliciano seems fine so it wasn't a country wide attack" said Japan.
"No need to wait" came Reborn's voice as he closed his phone and walked into the room.
"That was Basil; he just informed me that the Vongola mansion was just attacked, we received heavy casualties."
Everyone was silent, Tsuna's eyes widened, "what about Jii-san, I mean the Nono?"
"He is among the missing, along with three of his guardians.
Tsuna was stunned, he took a step back.
"W-what about my father?"
"He is also MIA right now" said Reborn.
Everyone in the room was silent as they watched Tsuna's reaction as he digested the information.
After a moment Tsuna straitened and looked at Reborn. "Until the Nono is found dead or alive, I will take on the roll of head of Vongola." Said Tsuna as he went into bossed mode, though tears pricked at the corner of his eyes.
"Reborn, check your informants and see if there is anyone claiming responsibility on the mansion attack." He then turned toward the countries. "If you need any human support for Lovino-san let the Vongola take the bill because I feel that this is our fault this happened to him."
Spain smiled up at Tsuna, "Gracias per Vongola."
*Unknown Location*
Parker walked down the hall toward the meeting room. Once again called in by Malcomson.
He sighed as he walked through the doors and noticed that he was the last to arrive. Quickening his step he walked down the walkway and into his seat.
"Now that everyone's here we can get the meeting started" Said Ian.
"I would like to congratulate everyone on a job well done with the attack on the Vongola compound. My sources in America have reported that the Dicemo has taken command of the Vongola. I know that they are sending out informants to find who claims responsibility but haven't found out about us, as our allies are being quiet. We should further incapacitate them, any ideas?"
Parker cleared his throat. "While everyone's focused is on the Vongola we should attack their allies as well such that it would further incapacitate them" He said.
"We all know who those people are and two of them are big hitters."
The room was silent, "True going after the Shimon and the Chiavarone families, who are extremely close allies, would be a good idea with our men are still massed and waiting for orders" Said Matthew.
"I agree with this fucker, though I don't like him." said Jerome who had his feet up on the table crossed at the ankles.
Mumbles continued throughout the hall. "Though the question is who first?" asked Chi.
"That's simple, when attacking the two families at the same time. We section our troops, 1/3 attacks each family while we have the last third on standby. Half of that would be on standby as reinforcements against the Shimon and Chiavarone family. As needed we could be on standby as well. I have a feeling that our opponents are going to be difficult to beat like the Vongola mansion was" finished Matthew.
"That's a good strategy, we should divide our troops and in three days we will attack them." Said Ian "Next up is who will attack who?"
"We should divide ourselves evenly, having both long and short range fighters mixed in" said Chi.
"Who where is a long range fighter?" asked Ian. Jerome's hand and several others went up. "Close range?" the first set of hands went down and then about two thirds of tables hands went up including Chi's and Ian's. "What about both?" Only Matthews hand went up. This raised a couple of eyebrows.
"I come from a long line of snipers, so they passed the tradition to me as well as in my organization I can fight close range with two swords" he explained.
"Well then we will be putting your sniping skills to use against our adversaries." Said Ian with a large grin on his face.
A few moments passed before Ian clapped his hands together. "I have decided the leaders on the ground for the two assaults against the Shimon and Chiavarone families. I would like both Chi and Mathew to head the assaults against our adversaries. You can decide amongst yourselves who will take who." He said.
Everyone stared at each other before Chi stood. "Parker since you are closer to the Chiavarone you go after them and I'll go after the Shimon" She said as she looked around the room.
"Fair enough" Parker said as he interlaced his fingers.
"In three days at noon we will attack then after the attack we will meet back here with our reports, as for the rest of you, you can decide amongst your selves who to attack." He said as he stood to leave.
Everyone soon followed his examples and began to leave until only Matthew was left.
After a few minutes a figure joined him. "When we return to the hotel I want you to send word back home and let Him know since this is going to be big."
The other nodded, "I understand Boss I'll do as you instructed." He then stood and headed out of the room where he reached over and grabbed his spear, then continued to walk down the hall to get to the car ready for his boss.
*Day of Attack Time: 11:50 AM*
Canada was panicking; he had information that would help them all. He needed to find Tsuna or at least some of the big countries and warn them.
As he rounded the corner and ran face first into someone's back. Losing his balance he fell backwards onto the floor holding his nose muttering "oh maple". He looked up and saw the long beige colored coat of Russia, who turned and looked at the Canadian.
"Ah, Sorry Russia, I guess I should watch where I'm going more" said Canada as he got back to his feet and went to move around the large Russian.
As he was about to pass Russia, he saw a movement out of the corner of his eye and quickly took a step back just in time for a lead pipe to smash into the wall right where the Canadians head was.
The Canadians eyes widened as he gazed shifted over toward the Russian.
"Come now Amerika you need to apologize better then that after running onto me" Russia said as a large smile was on his face.
Canada paled, of all the times to be mistaken for his brother.
"Russia I'm not my brother and I need to go I have important information to give to the others" he said as he back backed away from the large nation.
Russia launched his large body mass and grabbed the smaller Canadian from his suit collar and threw him against the wall his arm pressed up against the others wind pipe.
"Do you fine me a fool?"
"No no I'm not Russia I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry" Said in French Canada hoping that speaking it would convince the other more. (no no I'm not Russia I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry)
Russia paused and looked into the others eyes "you're not Amerika are you?" asked Russia as he started to remove his arm.
Canada sighed in relief and nodded, "Oui, I'm Canada" he said.
Russia nodded, "Sorry for the mix up" he said as he patted the other on his shoulder then started walking the way that Canada came.
Canada turned and started sprinting down the hall knowing that being with Russia had wasted the little time he had.
"Please don't let me be too late" he muttered in French to himself as he rounded the corner from an intersection and quickly laid eyes on the doors he wanted and slammed himself into them making them bank loudly against the walls.
Everyone in the room instantly stopped in their conversations to look at the new comer. Canada panted as he put his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.
After a moment he straitened. "I" he paused as everyone stared at him. Getting a little nurvous his mouth went dry but he knew he had to tell them.
Swallowing down his nervousness and continued. "I have information on where the next attacks are going to be at" he said.
Everyone was silent a moment before Prussia stood up.
"What do you mean birdie?" he asked.
"It's just as I said I know-"but he was interrupted by a loud crash and some of the countries rushed over toward the noise.
"Japan are you ok?" asked Ireland.
"Ah, sorry it's nothing just my legs suddenly got weak…" he trailed off before he started coughing. It was a wet cough that when it subsided he glanced down at his hand and saw some blood on it.
Ireland, who was standing beside the old nation, eyes widened but before she could say anything there was another loud crash as papers were thrown in the air by a crippled Italian, who was clutching his chest.
America and Germany both rushed over to the little pasta lover. "Italy!" yelled Germany as he shook the little Italian.
As this was happening Spain came in with most of the Vongola guardians behind him.
"Amigos we have a problem" he said. "Romano's health is declining again."
Before anyone could say anything America stood up. "Ok Dudes and Dudettes we need to help with the wounded, Spain you stay with Romano and have boxer boy help you with any first aid he might need."
Both Spain and Ryohei glanced at each other and nodded.
"Ireland get Prussia to help and move Japan to the top of one of the tables and get his feet elevated incase he goes into shock. Germany you're going to help me with Italy until the attacks stops."
Germany, shocked, slowly nodded and helped the super power move the Italian onto the table as well. Italy whimpered at the movement and tried to curl himself tighter into a ball.
"Is there anything we can do?" asked Tsuna. The American looked up and nodded, "Yeah split up and be runners for first aid if things get worse." He said. Tsuna nodded then turned to Yamamoto and Gokudera.
"Yamamoto you help Antonio-san and nii-san with Lovino-san, Gokudera-kun you help Aileen-san and Gilbert-san with Honda-san, I'll stay here with Alfred-san and Ludwig-san." Yamamoto and Gokudera both nodded and left for their ordered groups and tried their best to help.
After several hours and a couple of close calls of people dodging body fluids and trash cans be moved toward the injured. Everything finally started to settle down.
Tsuna sighed as he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. He had ditched his suite jacket and had the sleeves from his long sleeve white shirt rolled up to his elbows.
"I hope nothing real serious happens now at least" said America who was mimicking Tsuna's actions.
Tsuna smiled and nodded then turned as he noticed that Reborn had entered the room with a stern look on his face.
"What's wrong?" asked Tsuna as he looked at the Hitman.
"That was Dino, he said that he was just attacked by a sniper, he's injured but alright. He said he would contact us later when he feels that his men are safe."
Tsuna just stared at Reborn for a moment then moved to sit down. His eyes danced as thoughts flashed through his mind. After a moment he looked up at the hitman. "What about Enma?" Asked Tsuna his intuition telling him to ask about the red head.
Reborn frowned at the odd question and opened his mouth to reply when his phone rang interrupting him. He looked down and furrowed his eyes as he recognized the number.
He turned back to Tsuna. "Ask him yourself" he said as he tossed his phone over toward the sky guardian.
Tsuna reached out and fumbled with the ringing mobile until he had it firmly in his grasp.
He pushed the answer button. "Hello?" he asked.
"Tsuna is that you? What are you doing with Reborn-sans phone?" came a male voice.
"Enma? What's going on?" he asked ignoring Enma's question about answering the phone.
"We were attacked by this crazy albino chick who had an army behind her. She took out a majority of my men and injured Shit-P, and Julie. We are now moving to one of our safe houses in the mountains. This will probably be the last time you hear from us a while until we recover." Said Enma.
Tsuna nodded even though Enma couldn't see it. "Ok take all the time you need we'll try and fix things here so this doesn't happen again, and Enma I'm glad you're safe." Then Tsuna hung up the phone and handed it back to Reborn.
Tsuna sighed before he looked back at his ex-home tutor his eyes steeled from any emotion. "Find everything you can about the attacks and the people who participated. It's one thing to attack us personally but attacking our allies that have nothing to do with this is unforgivable. Also Reborn I don't care how you get the information but I want a report on your progress by the end of the day."
Reborn taking his phone listened carefully to Tsuna and nodded. He knew Tsuna was pissed his friends were attacked, though he didn't show it, just the order for the information was enough for now.
Reborn bowed his head as well as his body. "As you wish boss" then turned on his heels and left the conference hall.
Time passed quickly for Tsuna as he sat at one of the tables in the cafeteria alone and thinking. His intuition flared telling him that he wasn't alone anymore. Without looking up he knew who it was since he was right on time, as always. "Report" was all he said as he finally looked up at Reborn.
"We weren't able to find much but we found the group responsible. They call themselves The Tail of the Oraboros. They are a fairly new group comprised of many criminal organizations. They claim that they want to rid the world of the current countries and their representatives as well as anyone who stands in their way or is on the side of the representatives.
Tsuna sat there as he listened to all the information Reborn had.
"Do you know who the leader of this group is or where their main head quarters are?" The sky asked the once cursed sun.
"My information network is still working on finding more of the specifics though what I can say is that the leader is from somewhere in the U.K."
Tsuna nodded, "That will be all Reborn thank you for the information" he said as he dismissed the Hitman. Reborn nodded and left the room.
Tsuna sighed as he leaned back and felt his back pop in several places, he gave a sigh in relief as he once again reflected on all that has happened and the new information that Reborn had just given him. "The Tail of the Oraboros" he said to himself as he stood and collected himself to face the rest of the world and this organization.
*At the Vongola Hotel*
Tsuna sighed as he sat down in one of the chairs in his room. He was thinking about all the attacks on the countries and his allies that had happened in the last 24 hours. As he was thinking he didn't hear the door open and close or the dangerous aura that was in the room.
"Herbivore" came the simple word that made Tsuna jump out of his seat and turn to see Hibari standing by the door a glare on his face.
"H-Hibari-San w-what can I do for you?" he asked a cold sweat slowly making its way on his face.
"The carnivore wants to talk to you" He said as he made a move to allow his boss to go by him.
Tsuna raised an eyebrow; Reborn wanted him that was odd. "o-ok thanks Hibari-san" said Tsuna as he started to walk toward the door only to be stopped by a Tonfa.
"I don't like being the messenger, I'll bite both of you the next time this happens" said the raven haired teen. Tsuna gulped as he nodded, "understood" he said as he exited the room.
Tsuna quickly moved across the hall to where his tutor's room was. He knocked on the door when he got to it, "Reborn?" he called as he knocked. After a moment Tsuna head Reborn tell him to enter. When he did he saw the hitman sitting in a chair, his back facing the window and an amused smirked played on his face.
"Dame-Tsuna I think that you and your guardians are lacking in training so as your glorious and amazing tutor I've brought it upon myself to see that you all are ready for the dangers that lie ahead."
Tsuna looked at his tutor in slight awe that quickly turned to fear. "Reborn, what did you do?" asked the brunet as he looked at the still smirking face of his tutor. "Oh Dame-Tsuna why must you always think that what I do is always bad?" asked the ex-arcobaleno. Tsuna sweat dropped as he thought of all the times that Reborn's Spartan training had left him tired, bruised, and wanting to die. "Let's just say that past experience is really helping here" he said softly. Reborn smirked, "Don't worry dame-Tsuna I didn't come up with this idea, well only the layout but the idea came from that interesting fellow Alfred when I was talking to him a little while ago." Said Reborn.
Tsuna's eyes widened "Reborn what did he talk you into?" he asked feeling a little afraid. Reborn smirked "oh nothing much just a little challenge for everyone" he said. Tsuna had the feeling that he needed to see outside Reborn's window right at that moment and slowly made his way to the glass.
When he got there he looked down at the grounds and saw that they were transformed into what looked like an extremely difficult obstacle course. "REBORN!" cried Tsuna as he turned his head and looked at the tutor. "What dame-Tsuna this is a way that you and the other countries can bond and learn each other's fighting styles I think that you will find this most enjoyable." He said chuckling lightly as if he made a joke that only he could laugh at.
