QOO/ST: Hey there dear loyal readers! I don't know how much people are reading my story NOW but I'm happy that you decide to be patient and stay with me!

Rozalin:… Can we assume that this will be a new chapter then…?

Dawn: But that's not extremely fair! How 'bout your other extreme story!

QOO/ST: Shut up Dawn. I'll upload the new chapter for 'Black False Paradise' tonight since I'm busy with this one.

Rozalin: That, or you are too busy with drawing, playing the guitar and watching hours of Happy Tree Friends marathon….

QOO/ST: So what? I have a life too you know! I try to upload a new chapter as fast as I can here! So obey me and let's wrap this up!

Rozalin: Yes, My Lady. On behalf of our creator, please excuse her if there's any spelling or grammatical errors

Dawn: Queen of Oblivion/ShyTyrant does not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Only Akira Amano does!


Using those same old words and lines...
you sure are good at showering others with your heckles.
Imposing onto each other each's own version of what's right
is, after all, such a waste of time.

Ah, a loner who refuses to accept his loneliness, "Good day to you!"
If you can just turn to your right, maybe you'll feel more content.
Something said to be unappetizing will always be unappetizing.
Actually, aren't you just like that, too?

Now dance away, until you become completely exhausted.
Just dance on whatever stage you have been given.
Ah, the child who sprinkles thorny words onto others,
just today I'll play house together with you

You hate this feeling, and I hate it, too,
the feeling of inferiority and an unseasonable heart.

Ah, you don't want to admit it, but you're envious and jealous.
Who was it that once said if something reeks, just put a lid over it?
Even if you wring out those same old excuses again,
I can still see right through you.


CHAPTER 28

With the help of Lilith's friends and the Grimoire Regalia (Who knew that Requin was such a professional psychiatrist?) Lilith didn't suffer any post trauma effect from her brief glimpse of the Dungeon. Like Sol, she was furious that Eve ambushes her in her own Throne Hall. She didn't even hesitate when her patron said the word 'revenge'; she wants Eve to suffer badly. She wants her blood to spill! But before any head ripping action could begin, Sol told her that the Grimoire Regalia will explain everything about the Fallen Persona to them before they decide to do anything else. Lilith grudgingly complies with a scowl. This of course, affects her mood the entire day. She was grumpy towards everyone, even avoiding Tristiatina. Not that she would bother because she was too busy cuddling her husband. Lilith stomped to the Varia's main library to fume silently. Luck was in her favour for the library was deserted.

"It's not my style but I heard that reading helps to ease the tension" Sol advice helpfully. Lilith thought that was a great idea too and begins picking up a random book and sat on the comfortably black leather sofa before engrossing herself in the book. Of course, since Sol was with Lilith all the time, she too reads with Lilith. That little trick work. Both Sol and Lilith was too caught up in the peacefulness of the library and the many interesting books that it holds, they didn't notice that they both had read over 20 books in just one day! The 2 females were currently reading a book about a princess going undercover as an assassin with a mission to save her beloved kingdom from a cruel king which the climax was she falling in love with said king. "No! She can't be stupid enough to go through that door!" Sol cried uncharacteristically as Lilith flip a page "It's fuckin' plain obvious that the king's jealous consort is in there setting a trap for her! N-Nooo! Turn back! Don't listen to your gut damnit!" Lilith, who was also intense in the book, finds the princess annoyed "The trash of a princess had resolved! I knew it was a bad idea when she receives the invitation to the stupid king's ball. Stupid ass scum, you're so dead before the damn story ended!" Lilith critic mentally. The door creak open and the prideful Varia boss stride into his library.

Said boss was searching a map for his next mission when he overheard someone's gritting his or her teeth angrily. He took the desire map from one of the shelves and went to peek behind the seventh book shelves. It was Lilith, reading a really thick book. Beside her was a stack of book and Xanxus guessed that she had been reading the entire day. He watch in silent amusement when he saw how hard his daughter was gripping the book and how her red eyes narrow furiously and intensely at every words on the pages. It was only in a matter of time when she firmly closes the book and burn in with her flames. "That. Was. A. Shitty. Ass. Story!" She scowls and proceeds to read the next one beside the stacks of books. Xanxus let out a soft growl from deep within his throat to get Lilith's attention. Lilith boredly looks up but she was surprise to see the man in the library. "I didn't think you were the reading type" Lilith said first. Xanxus snorted at that. "The same can be said to you" The raven hair teen shrug. Xanxus thought that maybe this was the best time to talk to Lilith about her little… Nightmare the other day. She looks very disturbed back then. "What happened…?" The rough man said, trying to sound gentle. Lilith went downcast, she knew what he was asking but she didn't feel like explaining. Hell, she didn't even know HOW to explain!

"It's nothing…" Lilith mumbled.

"Nothing?" Xanxus raised an eyebrow.

"You were trashing and calling out a name in you sleep. I doubt is nothing"

Gulping hard, Lilith reply stoically. "I guess it's just one of those days" Xanxus was getting impatient now but decide to play in her game. "So who's Sol?" He asks. Both females freeze. "Shit!" Lilith cursed mentally. Seeing that Lilith was trying to think of a good lie, Xanxus observe her facial reaction. She looks expressionless but her eyes were a little panicking. He knew whatever spit out of her mouth next would be nothing but lies. Being a mafia, he had learned to read his enemies silent reaction before he finishes them off. "I… Have no idea" Lilith admits. Just like how he expected. It's fine either way, he could always investigate that name some other time. He turn around, his jacket flair dramatically behind him like some sort of regal cape. "Don't keep that pain to yourself" Was all he said before leaving the library. Lilith let out a sigh of relieve after he left. "Fuck that was close!" "You think? At least he didn't press for an answer" Sol reply. "I guess…" Truthfully, Lilith wasn't all that convince. What Xanxus said just now was also troubling. Did he know that Lilith was in pain? Damn, Lilith needs to learn a lot more about poker face. "By the way Lilith, we will explain to you about the Fallen Persona when everyone is fast asleep tonight so we would not be disturbed" Sol announced. "Yes, Sol" Lilith reply obediently.


Time passes quickly and soon it was night time and Lilith excuse herself to her room without even sparing a glance at her mother. Lilith didn't mean to offend her own mother but she was in a hurry to have her revenge and beside, there would be someone to console her or something. Later, she fall asleep easily and Sol took her and her guardians to where the others were already gather. "Gather around kids, it's an extreme story time!" Dawn begin happily when Sol and Lilith's friends finally arrive. "A story?" Bella was confused. "It's somewhat a story dear but it's a fact" Rozalin explain. "Stop confusing the kids and someone tell the goddamn story already!" Sol barks impatiently. "Way to start this off with a pissing Sol…" Requin yawn, his head on the table. "It was long, long time ago," Remillia begin quickly before Sol had a chance to retort. "We can't specific the time because it had been too long since the incident. But what we still remember was the changes of the world" Remillia eyes glow, creating an eerie atmosphere.

The teens were very interested of the story now. "The world was experience its first changes. Humans were rapidly evolving, changing everything on their surrounding and along this changes, we also changed" "It was spontaneous and maybe, it wasn't the wisest thing to do" Dante continue. "At that time, each of us was facing our own problems and we were desperate for an answer. For the first time in our existence, we begin to question about our own happiness. We were so, so, so tired of shouldering such heavy burdens" Dante explain sadly. "That was our first mistake" Fenrir said, his voice was deep. "In our desperation, we somehow… managed to remove half of our burdens. Automatically creating new entities from the burden. The entities called themselves as the Fallen Personas that brought the meaning of our grave mistakes. They are our other half of the burdens who sole purpose of existence is to merge with us again" Angela quickly raises her hand up, as if she was in class.

"Yes, Angela?" Rozalin ask. "Is that such a bad thing? I mean, if all the Fallen Personas want to do is to fuse with you guys again, isn't that a good thing? You guys wouldn't have to fight them like now" Angela said. The rest of the teens murmur in agreement. "To the world? Of course not but to us, personally? No wants want to go back to the past again" Sol answers her question. "I don't understand" Sakura admit. "We didn't have any such things call emotions and free wills back in the past. All we know was to fight one another and everything would be peachy-kins. But that soon change when humanity change. We learn a lot of things. Love, war, compassion, family, education, I mean everything. We gain a lot precious memories, acquaintances that will all disappear in a blink of an eye if we should ever merge with our own Fallen Persona…" Sol explains patiently. "…I think I understand now…" Teru muttered. "Does that mean that Sol-san and the rest of the Grimoire Regalia would be a sorry, pathetic excuse of living beings again when they merge with the Fallen Personas?" Heidi said with teary eyes. It was quiet for a brief moment.

"Ouch, that surprisingly hurt!"

"Could you at least be a little more sympathetic, child?"

"S-Sorry excuse of living b-beings?"

"That was extremely… painful"

"…I can see why Lilith made you one of her guardians…"

"I need a cake to console myself after this…"

"I… Have no idea what to say…"

Everyone erupt into a laughing mess. Sakura chuckle though. Talk about changing the mood! The Grimoire Regalia was surprise that a mere child could put their past so blatantly. "Yeah, since Heidi put it so cruelly" Sol snickers. Once everyone calm down, only then they resume. "So what should we do now?" Teru ask. The Grimoire Regalia exchange knowing glances and turn to their children. "It's up to you guys" Remillia said. She turns her head towards Dante and he nodded. "We can't come up with a decision that we all agree so you children need to decide what to do; We will help you without hesitation" The man explain. "I want revenge! I want to fight!" Lilith growl and Sol agree whole heartedly. "Ok, ok, let's settle this with democracy. Who is in favour with confronting with the Fallen Personas?" Fenrir suggest. "Heidi and the rest of the Sin will follow the boss!" The girl squeals happily. The guys nodded.

"I-I don't like the idea of fighting but none of us are safe if we allow the Fallen Personas to do anything they wishes" Teru said. "Juuichidaime is right as always!" Angela exclaimed. "Ma, ma, this should be an interesting experience" Tsumotu smile. "An extreme fight!" Ryuuki agrees. "I-I will try to do my very best!" Bella said with her eyes fire with determination. "Hn" Sakura closes her eyes and nodded. "Kufufufufu… Finally, enemies that are worth killing" Valencino smirk sadistically. "So then it's all agree" Sol grin maliciously. "We will hunt those bastards and send back to the Dungeon" "But where would they be? It's going to be hard to look for them" Angela question with her arms crossed. "Don't worry about that. We have a pretty good idea where they would hide" Requin yawns. "We must warn you though; this will be your first battle against a group of powerful enemies. Are you certain that you want to fight them?" Dawn ask worriedly. Teru nodded his head once. "Yes, we have to or not the Vongola would be in danger!" Teru realized that the Fallen Personas could be a potential threat to his family. As the Vongola eleventh, he must eliminate any threats to his family. It his responsibility as a boss. Seeing his internal dilemma, Sol strokes his cheek comfortingly, causing the young Archangel to blush at the woman's sudden gesture. "There is no such thing as 'I must' or 'I have to'. Everyone has their own will to choose for themselves. Don't let outside opinions or suggestion defer you. Now, do you really want to fight the Fallen Personas?" Sol asks again. Teru nodded again. "Yes because I want to. I want to protect everyone!" He resolves. His Grimoire Regalia ignite pure white flames. Dante's flame. His patron smile proudly while Lilith's smirk. "In that case, the party will start tomorrow"
