Remillia: I'm glad that you are happy, My Lady
Sakura:….Why are we here…?
QOO/ST: The reason why is because you 2 will be the stars in this chapter! Though since this is the first fight, I admit it's not as satisfying as you think… I have better ideas for the next one! But don't worry, I'll make sure that you're fight will be an epic one!
Sakura:…..
Remillia: That aside, how are you gonna upload the other fights so soon, My Lady? Your school break will end this on this Sunday…
QOO/ST: Dang…. Well, who needs sleeping anyway?
Sakura: Just do your best…
Remillia: On the behalf of My Lady, please excuse her for any spelling and grammar mistake. Also a note from her to the dear readers, please don't be grammar Nazi!
Sakura: QueenOfOblivion/ShyTyrant does not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn…
Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on
CHAPTER 30
At the centre of the carnival of madness, The Vongola XI, the Sin and the Grimoire Regalia stood, facing the Fallen Personas. The enemies were expressionless as always but the other party could feel the hostility radiating from them. That they prepare for an all-out-fight. Lilith and Teru had confronted their patron's counterpart before, Saviour and Eve but they didn't fight the rest of them. As the teens made their own silent observation, so did the Fallen Personas. At the far right of the line, was Eve.
She surprises everyone by walking 2 steps in front and bows her head politely to them and told her name. "Eve…" She said loud and clears before retreating back to the line. Her short black hair sway delicate to the wind. Her pronged claws were as deadly as ever. Both Sol and Lilith growl menacingly at her.
A man with mahogany hair and light tinted blue eyes and pale skin step forward next. He repeats the same act as Eve did and utters his name swiftly before backing away. "Saviour…" Dante and Teru eye on his movement carefully. Afraid that he would suddenly attack without warning. Next was a woman that none of the Sin and Vongola XI had ever seen before.
The beautiful woman was wearing a pinkish white, ornately dress and tall pinkish white boots. On her head are 2 pink ribbon tied to her white hair. Her eyes were deep silver yet empty. She bow elegantly like a princess and state her name. "Margatroid…" She took a few steps back again. 'Margatroid is my counterpart' Remillia announce solemnly. Sakura narrow her eyes on the woman-like-princess who simply stare her back with lifeless eyes. It was creepy as if she was a robot or something. Hell, even her name sound like one too! Next up was another woman.
She has blonde hair, with two plaits, lavender coloured eyes. She wears an entirely red dress, a simple black frilled one underneath and a red overdress on top with a bow on the back that billows out at the end and laces up the front with grey string. On her arms are detachable sleeves that are also laced up at the top. She wears white roses around her neck and around her waist. She wears white cloth tied around the base of her left leg, near the ankle, and black string around her right wrist and red lace up high heel boots. She curtseys and spoke. "Goddess Desire…" And went back in line. 'She is the other half of my burden' Rozalin sigh and Angela nodded. 'The next one is my counterpart' Dawn announced. The teens stare as the next woman step forward to announce her name.
She had long, curly dirty grey hair and red eyes, almost as red as Lilith's. She was wearing a long black tight fitting dress around the waist and chest. The dress has 3 straps with thick buckles on the chest. The dress has tank top style sleeves. Around the neckline there were straps attaching at the collar and the collar has white lace on the top. The skirt that attached to the dress has 2 layers – the first layer is short and extends down only to the thighs. The second layer drapes down to the floor and it slit in the front. As for the sleeves, they were detached to the dress. They were tight around the upper arm and also had straps with the same buckles to hold them on, decorated with a lace at the top. The woman also wore a pair of black thigh-high boots with straps and buckles on the thigh. She place her hand, that the teens could clearly see her sharp black painted fingernails across her chest and bow in respect. "MidnightSun…" She murmured softly and retreats so that the man beside her could introduce himself next.
He had ruffle black hair and piercing yet also gorgeous pair of brown eyes. He was wearing what appears to be black smooth jacket with white fur around the collar. On the right side of his chest was a red rose attached, adding a suave charm on the man. Underneath jacket was a white and dark brown checkered shirt. The man was also wearing a dog tag necklace with words engrave on it but the teens couldn't read it and he was donned with black leather fingerless glove. The pants that he was wearing were also black but were fashionably ripped below the knee caps and extend down towards the end of the pants. He wore a pair of black lace up combat boots. The man took out the cigarette out of his mouth and blew a puff of air. "Black Gold" He simply stated in a deep baritone voice and blew the cigarette again. 'I swear that Black Gold looks much sexier than me…' Requin grumble unhappily. So Black Gold is Requin's counterpart. "You don't say…" Valencino murmur, glancing at his enemy. The man sure does have the ultimate bad boy look. Valencino pray in his heart that Sakura won't be attracted to him or he had to kill the man right here, right now, in this instant before their introduction even ended!
The last Fallen Personas guardian was also a man. He must be Fenrir's counterpart. The last man remind them all of Reborn by the way he dress and he too, was wearing a fedora. He dresses like a true, classic mafia man. He wears a simple black suit with a white shirt underneath, short brown gloves, and brown steel-toed shoes. He dons a pair of black trousers held up by two brown belts. He completes the outfit with a black fedora hat to close the shady visage but his hair was smooth light green hair and the teens could see one black snake like eye underneath the fedora. He places his gloved hand on top of his fedora and tips it. "Ameterasu…" That was it. The Fallen Personas have introduced themselves.
'Quick tips children; You may use all the arsenals that you have in your possession and when it is too much, we will take over' Fenrir said. "Wouldn't that be unfair for them?" Bella frown. 'Fair? They don't give a shit about fairness. They freakin' attack Lilith! Their drive is to win and defeat us – with any means possible. By hook or by crook. Beside, numbers won't mean a thing compare to power' Sol huffed. "How is the battle going to be?" Teru asked when he saw that the Fallen Personas drawn out their own weapons. 'One of the Fallen Personas will step forward to battle with us, one at the time. That way is much easier and simpler' Remillia answers his question. The enemies had each drawn out their respective weapons and stare at the teens coldly. They were silently asking if they were ready. The war had begun.
Tsuna woke up with a start suddenly from his slumber. He was gasping and sweating a lot. It was in the middle of the night when his Hyper Intuition felt something powerful and thus, waking him off. Trying to calm his pounding heart, Tsuna couldn't understand what the feeling is. Worry? Anxiety? Danger? This was new to him. He glances at his wife who was still sleeping peacefully beside him, undisturbed. The clock shows that the time was 4 in the morning. His Hyper Intuition never woke him up in such ungodly hour before. The brunette shook his head and wipes the sweaty bangs off his forehead. It was no use, he was still feeling restlessness. "What is this feeling…?" He muttered. He didn't like this at all. Vongola Decimo sigh and try to went back to sleep. It took a few minutes for sleep to envelope him and lulls him to return to his dream. As Tsuna close his eyes, he didn't aware that he had ignore the soft voice that was present in the back of his mind telling him that something big had started and that his beloved son was one of the stars in the bloodshed.
Although it was a one-on-one battle, the teens couldn't help but feel like the Fallen Personas will intervene somehow. Just like how Sol had warned. They waited for one of the guardian of Fallen Personas to step forward to begin the first round. It didn't take long when one step forward. It was none other than Margatroid, Remillia's counterpart. She went right at the centre between the Fallen Personas and the teens. "Looks like I'm first" Sakura muttered. Valencino's heart squeezes tightly. He didn't want his precious sickly flower to fight! Sensing his inner distress, Sakura smile softly and held his hand. "I'll be fine Valencino-kun. I've been trained for this fight" The raven hair girl said assumingly. Valencino's heart loosens a bit but that didn't manage to get rid of his worried completely so he indulges her. "Kufufufufufu… Of course Sakura-chan. Only I'm allowed to defeat you" The young Mist guardians chuckle. "Good luck Sakura-chan" Bella said with a small, nervous smile. "Beat her up real good" Angela grins and thumbs up. "Be careful Sakura…" Teru said worriedly. "Do your best to the extreme!" Ryuuki cheered. "Ha ha ha, no pressure 'kay, Sakura?" Tsumotu smile widely. Sakura thank them for their kind support before turning to Lilith, who had her arms crossed under her chest and was staring at her opponent. "My Malign Premonition is completely dead now but I have a bad feeling about this fight…" The Sin's boss mutter. "Me too but that's why you have a plan right?" Sakura smile knowingly. Lilith smirks and turns towards Sakura. "You bet. I hope you have fun" She said. Sakura nodded and walk to Margatroid. She stops when she was facing straight towards the woman. A large circle was form underground as if it were some sort of arena.
Lilith lean to Heidi and whisper a few words. Said girl listen carefully and intently, all the while knowing that others were eying on them. Especially the Fallen Personas. After a while, Heidi straightens herself with a happy smile. She turns to Lilith's male guardians who stare at her in wonder and confusion. "Lilith-sama gave me permission to play around for a while. So c'mon guys!" Heidi said and walk towards the bumper car area. "S-Say what?" Cain stammered, confused at her sudden interest to play around. "Just follow her and made sure she didn't bump into any stupid accident" Lilith orders. The guys all nodded but decide not to question anything and went towards the bumper cars. "Why did you send your guardians away, Lilith-chan?" Teru ask, also confuse. "So that they won't get bored" Lilith said with a teasing smile and let the subject drop.
They turn their attention back to Sakura and Margatroid. The Cloud guardian drawn out her tonfas and rip her grey cloak and reveal what she was wearing underneath. A dark purple fighter top showing half of her bosom, black strap panties with purple skirt-like cloth, long black socks, and purple boots. Forget Lilith or Angela, Sakura was way sexier! Valencino smile slyly, not expecting Sakura's revealing battle outfit. "Good girl gone bad eh? Kufufufufufufu… Valencino like" He commented. "Heh, not half bad Sakura" Lilith admit with a smirk. Angela nod in approvement. The other guys, apart from Valencino were speechless. Margatroid, seeing this nothing but dullness, made the first move first. She surprises the teens by morphing her left hand into a large white metal blade and swung it at Sakura, who saw the move and back flips. The teens continue to watch in surprise as the blade morph back into a hand.
"…What are you…?" Sakura couldn't help but ask softly. 'Although she is my counterpart, when I separated from her, she somehow transforms herself into a genetically engineered-bio weapon. Thus, making her similar to a robot. My hypothesis of her transformation is because of my ability…' Remillia explain wistfully. So Remillia is a braniac. Go figure. 'Her weakness?' Sakura prompted. There was a good length of silence when Remillia finally reply. 'Decapitate her' Sakura blink, that was easy enough. She grips her weapons and her Grimoire Regalia's ring shine brightly, coating her tonfas with silverfish blue flames, Remillia's flame. She dash towards Margatroid and proceed to send a few light blows to the woman to assess just what kind of fighting style the woman would react. Margatroid avoids her attacks easily and saw a small opening at Sakura's right side. She quickly morphs her right hand into a giant mallet and hit the young girl. Sakura caught a glimpse of the mallet, block it with her tonfas and immediately counter with a lifting sweep. But Margatroid jump over Sakura and landed far away from her spot.
'Margatroid is a slippery opponent to deal with. Since she is a living weapon, she could attack and defend at the same time. You need to fight swiftly to tire herself out' Remillia advice. So Sakura did just that. Both she and Margatroid lunges forward at each other and goes into a barrage of punches and kicks. They would attack, defend, counter, maneuver in such rapid movements of a skill fighter. While Sakura was busy fighting with Margatroid, the teens and the Fallen Personas observe from the side line. The Fallen Personas were dead and expressionless as usual, even though Sakura manage to hit their fellow comrade, they didn't even frown or flinch in the slightest. They just stood quietly, watching the bionic woman receive the heavy blows. Valencino watch the fight worriedly but mask his face with a calm expression. He believes in her and he trust Remillia to protect her. The rest of them were also worried because they know of her health condition, save for Lilith of course.
So far, Sakura could handle herself pretty well without the need of Remillia taking over. Margatroid raise the blade high and was about to slice Sakura in half but the girl slide aside and thrust her knee to the woman's chin, making a knee thrust uppercut. Sakura's sudden counter left the woman unsuspected and she fell hard on the ground. "Awesome move Sakura!" Bella cheer. Lilith was impress by Sakura's battle. She was different from the girl. Lilith relies solely on her brute strength and power but Sakura was quick to her feet and her agility was like none other. 'I heard from Remillia that her tonfas were a gift given by her father. Which is why Remillia gave her fans as it need agility to wield it' Sol explain. 'Looks like Remillia had her girl well train for her fight against Margatroid. Since Remillia's flame attribute is balance, it's pretty useless if you're a person who rely on strength, balance mostly act as some sort of referee, judge or something akin. But it does have its own special quality' Sol said bluntly.
"Which is?" Lilith prompted. 'It's kinda hard to explain in detail. To start off, if it wasn't for Remillia, everything would throw into chaos. How she does this by sensing phenomenon intervention. Meaning, apart from Dawn, Remillia can destroy anyone or anything who messes with the natural flow of order. Remillia could also resist and nullify a phenomenon intervention before it could actually occur. Order and balance is actually what you call 'miracles'. Miracles do happen because Remillia make sure that nothing intervene it. Err… to make it simple, most of you know her main purpose is to make me constantly battle against Dante and vice versa. Let's keep it at that' Sol continue. Remillia's job is to make sure Sol and Dante fight each other constantly, huh? Lilith was slightly ill at their fate. And also the whole phenomenon interventions thing. What is a phenomenon intervention anyway?
'Another thing about Remillia is that she's a genius. She created many weapons and devices for us. Hell, she's our personal mechanic! If it wasn't for her – Eh?' Lilith frowns. Sol never stops in mid conversations before. Sakura was still holding well on her own against Margatroid so what's up? 'Your Storm guardian got her hair stuck in the cotton candy machine. The rest of them are trying to pull it out without having to cut her hair' Sol announce, visibly sweat drop. Lilith face palm. Of course… Only Heidi could get herself in a weird situation. Lilith turns her attention back to the fight.
Margatroid transform her hair into a long spear and aim at Sakura's back. 'Watch out, dear!' Remillia warn. Sakura barely manage to turn her body around to avoid getting pierce but Margatroid's lance manages to cut the girl's left waist deeply. "Shit!" Valencino cursed. Margatroid morph the lance into a giant fist and punch Sakura aside. "Margatroid is increasing the damage in her attack" Angela noted. Sakura groan and struggle to get up. 'Shall I take over now, dear?' Remillia offer kindly. "It's fine" Was Sakura replies and resume attacking.
Apparently, Margatroid was more serious now and her attacks had become brash and violent. All Sakura could do was dodge since Margatroid leaves no room for her to counter attack. Sakura did her best but it all become too much when Margatroid suddenly crouched down and swipe her feet, successfully knocking Sakura down on her back and the woman quickly raise her blade before Sakura had a chance to regain her composure. "Sakura!" She could hear her friends shouting their concern from behind. Not knowing what to do, the girl ignites her ring and presses it into her Grimoire Regalia box weapon. A bright silverish blue flame burst from the open box and causes the woman to hurl back forcefully by a strong, metal… Claw?
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the, fat cats had a heart attack
