A/N – Hello and good evening my fellow readers! Tonight, I present to you… A gift! A new chapter! Wow! I guess I'm rolling with ideas! Anyway, since school starts next week, I want to at least give you a couple of new chapters. God knows, when can I update again =.=' This chapter will be the last fight for Sakura against Margatroid. I try not to make the war last too long. I don't want too many chapters in this story. How 'bout you guys? Do you enjoy stories with many chapters? Please let me know about this matter. If you like stories with many chapters, then I'll glad update more soon! If you don't, well, I just try to shorten it I guess.

Also, I heard that Fanfiction will eliminate all those stories that are rated M. I think that's unfair. I love reading rated M stories because of the blood and gore! There's a petition going on about this matter. Apparently, you need to sign your name to stop the elimination of the Rated M stories. I sympathize with those wonderful authors that had work so hard to create such wonderful masterpieces only to be destroyed away. I already sign my name so why don't you to?

I also like to take this time to thank you for the reviews that I receive. I must say, Weaver of Nightmare, you were the first one to review my previous chapter! You have absolutely no idea how that me really, really HAPPY! Thank you so much! You were really quick to review and for that I greatly appreciate it! That goes the same to Kurayami Akuma. Don't think I forget about you too, Soshi185 and xXxIRISxXx You guys are just plain awesome! XD

Please forgive me for any spelling and grammar errors. It's hard when you don't have a Beta reader =.='

So now on with the show~

I so do NOT OWN Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Dried lips are exposed to the freezing sun
And overflowing tears outline me with dripping radiance

I only needed you to fill up my empty parts
We gather up pain that spreads as our fingers touch

If the wish I raise up deep in my heart
Is called 'destiny'
Then the memories and traces of you after I lost you
Still remain abandoned…

I tremble at your faint sigh and quivering eyes
A piercing light wraps around both of our worn out souls

I wonder if we'd ever been hurt if we never met each other
Let's softly fall asleep, drawing close the pain of our torn off wings

We cannot return, we cannot go back
Scream your life
These arms that lose everything, including that distant day
Are yearning for your warmth..

CHAPTER 31

Sakura could only watch in silent shock as the box weapon emerges from the box and hurl Margatroid far, far away. So far that the woman crash into a bloodied carousel, causing the ride to collapse on the woman. The box weapon now stood tall infront of the lying Sakura. The weapon is an automaton dress in a grayish purple long dress. Sakura could guess that the automaton is at least 209 cm in length. The automaton had short blonde hair and her eyes are baby blue and even have irises. The doll has two big golden rings on each side of her hat. The automaton hands have sharp, hooked protrusions on the fingertips and she has two line cracks underneath her eyes. The automaton claps her hands and continues to stand like a statue. The Vongola XI and Lilith was stun speechless as the box weapon.

"W-What the hell is that!" Angela exclaim. 'Everyone, meet God Machine: Arcadia. She is my box weapon' Remillia introduce. "That is an extremely cool box weapon" Ryuuki commented. 'It is isn't it? You should see what Arcadia is capable of' Rozalin said. 'Now the fight will be even more extreme!' Dawn shouted excitedly. Sakura was still daze with the sudden appearance of the doll, just continue on lying. All of the sudden, said doll suddenly turns her back, facing the fallen girl. Sakura could feel a cold shiver running down her spine. The doll's eyes stare into Sakura's, as if reading her soul. The automaton, Arcadia, slowly crouches down and extends her left sharp hand towards Sakura.

'I am known as God Machine: Arcadia. I am created to fight and protect my mistress. From now on, I deem you as my mistress too. I will fight on your behalf and protect you from your enemies. I will obey your every commands'

Now the teens were just left stupefied. "S-She can t-talk?" Bella squeak. 'Telepathically, dear. Only those who wield the Grimoire Regalia rings have the ability to 'hear' her 'speak'. Arcadia is one of Remillia's ultimate creations' Fenrir explain. Still stun, Sakura had no idea what to do. 'Don't be afraid, Sakura. You heard what Arcadia said, she is yours to command now. She will never hurt you' Remillia said gently. The automaton continues to wait patiently for Sakura to accept her. Sakura thought for a moment before she finally grab the doll's hand carefully, not wanting her fingers to be slice by those wicked hooks. Arcadia gently pulls her new mistress up. 'Now dear, you need to only give a simple order and Arcadia would obey. She can move on her own but she relies solely on your command to function' The Equilibrium explains. Sakura nodded and turn to the doll. "Please protect me" Sakura requested. Arcadia nodded curtly and suddenly vanishes.

The raven hair girl blinks. Eh? Why did Arcadia disappear? Sakura had given a command to protect her and she suddenly poof! Sakura was interrupt from her train of thought when she felt the ground shook beneath her. Having a great common sense, Sakura jump backwards in just a nick of time. A wall of white spears emerges from where Sakura once stood and sprout high in the air. Sakura could see Margatroid approaching towards her. Her hair suddenly gotten longer and was pierce in the ground. That was when Sakura realize that the spears were her hair! Way to go Sakura. The white spears sink back into the ground and morph back into hair. Margatroid was bleeding and injured greatly.

Wow, Arcadia was that strong. Although she was heavily injured, her expression still remains the same, just like the rest of the Fallen Personas. Margatroid sprinted towards Sakura in such a great speed that startles the girl. Sakura brace herself for the impact but it never came. Just as Margatroid was closing in, Arcadia appears out of nowhere and swipes her away, hurling her again. This time, Arcadia thrown Margatroid at the direction of the House of Mirrors. Which is way far from them. "…Thanks" Sakura murmured. 'Arcadia learns from experience albeit she is a weapon. She will protect you based on the experience that I had enhanced in her memory bank' Remillia explain again. "I see…" Sakura mutter.

Although it was a little biased on her side, with Arcadia, Sakura was confident that she will win in this fight. Arcadia could watch her back so it will be easy enough for Sakura to focus on the attack. So it will be a tag-team battle now. "Let's go Arcadia" Sakura command and the duo clashes with Margatroid once again. On the sideline, the teens were watching the battle with excitement and a little worried but none the less, they were happy that Sakura's box weapon could help her a lot now. "Hey, if that doll is Sakura's box weapon, I wonder what will be ours?" Tsumotu wonder out loud. 'Well that is a surprise. You'll know when it's your turn to fight' Fenrir chuckle. Tsumotu pouted but then smiles. He can't wait for his fight! Now back to the battle!

The heat is on! As Margatroid had become more serious and bloodthirsty in the fight, so was Sakura. Everytime Margatroid was coming too close to Sakura, Arcadia would punch her away forcefully. The 2 of them were once again in the ring and was panting and sweating. Margatroid injuries worsen because of Arcadia while Sakura was near collapsing due to exhaustion. The automaton stood protectively infront of Sakura. 'You can do it, dear. Just a little more' Remillia encourage. Sakura nodded, refusing to give up yet. She was not a weakling. She is not a herbivore. She will not lose to Margatroid. But how can she defeat the woman quickly before she slips into unconscious? A flash of idea appear. She knows just what to do. 'Not a bad idea. Let's give it a go dear' Remillia said. 'Arcadia, execute Cantabile stage 3: Ultimum Chorus Clamoris Anima*'

At Remillia's command, the doll rushes forward to the injured woman and begin a 20 hit punch sequences nonstop. The teens were mesmerized at how the doll's barrage of punches was so graceful yet deliver such harsh and powerful hits as if she was dancing. Sakura seize the opportunity to join in the fun. While Margatroid was busy shielding herself from Arcadia's punches and slices, her back was completely unguarded. Just how Sakura suspected. She surprises the woman by suddenly appearing behind her and attack her furiously just like Arcadia. After 20 hit punches were over, both of Arcadia disappear and Sakura back flips away from Margatroid. The woman was in an even more horrible shape. Her clothes were tattered and dye in blood. Her face, arms, and legs were painted with blood. She couldn't possibly fight anymore… Right? Oh how, she proves Sakura wrong. Even though Margatroid was beyond any chances of winning, she was still standing!

Her good right eye was staring at Sakura. Her right eye was gouged out by Arcadia in the fight. The woman looks like some demented, junk of a doll. Margatroid continue to stare at Sakura for a brief moments – It was creepy. Like some kind of monster in a horror movies that will just silently stare at you. All of the sudden, both Sakura's heart beat loudly. Even Remillia could feel it. "W-What was that?" Sakura gasped. She then notices that Margatroid's remaining eye change drastically. Her pupil shrinks and she began to shake uncontrollably. 'This isn't looking too good…' Remillia said. "What do you mean? What's wrong with Margatroid?" Sakura ask, said woman was coughing up a lot of blood now. 'She's changing into a more powerful form… It's time to finish this. Let me take over now, dear. I don't want you to see what I'm going to do' Remillia continue with a sad yet cold tone. Sakura couldn't protest much because she was now completely exhausted so she simply allows her patron to possess her. Sakura's eyes changes to baby blue in an instant; Indicating that Remillia now is in power.

As for the teens, each of their patrons had blocked their herald's vision and hearing when Remillia took over Sakura's body. All except for Lilith and Valencino. "What are y-you doing, Dante?" Teru ask. 'It's for the best that none of you see Remillia finish the fight' The man replies solemnly. "Kufufufufu… This is going to be fun…" Valencino chuckle, with his arms crossed. He was nervous before about having Sakura's tainted her hands with cold blood but since Remillia possessed her now, he had an idea that it will be a little different. "Why does Valencino gets to extremely see it?" Ryuuki couldn't help but ask. "My dad had shown me a glimpse of Hell many times before so I'm not bothered seeing a murder happening infront of me…" Valencino reply. "That goes that same with you, isn't that right Lilith?" Lilith smirks slightly, as she recalled how Sol had dealt with Eve before. Margatroid was kneeling on all fours on the ground like some sort of animal as she continue to shook and blood spew from her body like geyser from all sort of direction.

Without warning, the woman launched itself at Remillia/Sakura in a speed of a light, with a giant claw that used to be a hand, right at her. Remillia/Sakura's expression was calm at the sight of the horribly deformed woman. She will end this now. "Arcadia…" The automaton appears infront of her mistresses just as Margatroid's claw was only inches away from Remillia/Sakura's face. Arcadia grabs Margatroid by the face, forcing Margatroid to render helpless at the strength of the doll. The doll's hand was bigger than her face but she could see her counterpart well through the doll's fingers. She continues to stares emptily at her counterpart since that was all she was able to do.

"Target identified as self… Balance flame readings confirmed.

Target damage level exceeds 70%...

Alteration of matter at the atomic level 40%: Confirmed

Target threat level has been reduced to level C.

Target's links to the Dungeon has been reactivate.

Executing secondary protocols.

Now terminating experiment."

Both Lilith and Valencino shiver at how cold and hollow Remillia's voice sounded. The way how she speaks sounds so… Robotic. 'I assure you, Remillia is nothing like Margatroid. She is not some kind of artificial being. She just… Like to observe and analysis things in a… programmed method' Sol defended her friend. At her command, a swirling black portal appears on the ground. Lilith instantly knows where that portal lead to: The Dungeon.

Arcadia suddenly crushes Margatroid's head as if it was an apple. Blood exploded to the doll's face and dress as the corpse went limp. A pool of blood was form underneath along with chucks of brain, flesh and bones scattered all over the place. Arcadia then tossed the body into the portal, letting it swallow up and disappear. "Elimination of target now confirmed" Remillia said coldly. She opens her box weapon again and Arcadia went in. Remillia turn away and walk towards the teens. Dante and rest lifted their herald's visions and hearings. "What happened?" Angela asks the approaching woman.

"The fight's over. Now for the next one" Remillia/Sakura smile. "I'll possess Sakura until she is fully rest" Everyone agrees but those who were blinded and deaf by their patrons couldn't help but wondering why Lilith's look so grim and Valencino deep in thought. Teru glimpse at the Fallen Personas. They were still silent and dead as ever. Even though Margatroid was dead and had been hurled into the Dungeon again, they didn't even show an ounce of sympathy to their fallen fellow guardian. Now the Archangel understands a little better at the reason why the Grimoire Regalia refuse to merge with them again. Having no feelings whatsoever can be very cruel and sad.

"So who goes next?" Lilith questions. She was little scared when she felt the Dungeon's presence but was also greatly impress by Sakura's battle. She didn't need Remillia to take over in midst battle. The woman only possessed her when she was going to end Margatroid's life. Sakura can be a dangerous foe under Remillia's guidance and training. Goddess Desire calmly walks into the ring. "Looks like I'm next" Angela noted. "Be careful, Angela" Teru advice. "Of course Juuichidaime! I will not let you down!" Angela exclaimed proudly. The others wish her luck as well and watch her proceeds to the ring.

Though everyone brings their own loneliness while wishing for tomorrow
Destroy me with the untainted strength you sought after

Call the dead prayer
That cannot be spoken 'destiny'
The memories and traces of you after I lost you
Still remain abandoned in my starving heart…

A/N - Phew! Finally I'm done with this chapter! Sorry if this was too short but I need to get to the other fights soon. Sorry if I didn't satisfy your curiousity. I know how that feels... I will try to make the next chapter even better though..

The song I use for this chapter is Strength by Abingdon Boys School. This is song is also serve as the fourth opening of the anime Soul Eater. Huh, it's been a while since I last watch that anime or read the manga O.o I will read soon!

*'Ultimum Chorus Clamoris' this is latin. It means 'Last Dance Of The Crying Soul' in english. I wanted all of their fighting moves to be latin because it sounded cooler, don't you think?

So how was it? Please reviews for this chapter! I could use a lot of improvement~
