Broadcast 5: The Rainbow and the Clam
"Tsuna!" Reborn called out to the 10th boss, "Today we're on break, we have another group here to fill in for us!"
"Hah? Really Reborn?" Tsuna asked glancing down at the infant, "You mean to say that we finally would get a break?"
"Of course," the baby replied. "We can't have you guys going on air all the time, we need diversity! The audience will get bored of seeing your face all the time weekly."
"I guess that's true, but do you have to put it in such a disruptive tone? Well, whose going to fill in for us all?"
"You'll see, I have it all taken care of."
"I sense a disturbance Reborn." Tsuna said nervously.
Reborn lowered his fedora down silently, "Not a disturbance Tsuna, but a tainted rainbow."
"Hmm?"
~Indigo Mist~
"Muu, hello everyone, I am here in place of Chrome Dokuro and Rokudo Mukuro." Mammon hovered upon the screen, "I shall be running this trial since both are not here at the moment."
Mammon looked around, "I don't think there is much to talk about since this is usually a request corner, but we all appreciate the money donations."
"There weren't any donations Viper!" Skull was heard off.
"No one asked you." Mammon snapped back, "Anyways since we Acrobaleno are here to take the place of your usual cast, I guess you can say the end is near since I hate being near cameras."
The camera man shuddered in fear.
"Muu, but what is there to do? How the hell did those pineapple heads manage to run this place with such ease. It always looks easier on TV."
"I don't know Viper, but never trust television, it gets you thinking wild things."
"Its Mammon...and when were you my mother?"
"I don't know sempai, how could I be your mother if I'm kohai?"
"Muu, now you're smart mouthing me."
"AHH! I'm sorry Viper!!!"
"Mammon."
"GEH!"
"Well then...to fill in the time I have, I think a game would be in order. Its called heads of tails. The winner gets free meals until the end of the year." Mammon turned towards Skull smiling maliciously, "heads or tails?"
"Tails! Since my octopus has 8 of them!"
Mammon through the coin up into the air. It clattered onto the floor on heads.
"Bummers..."
"You lose, now give me 500 dollars." Mammon hovered over to Skull.
"WHAT!? But its only a quarter." Skull stammered. "And how the hell am I suppose to get $500!?"
"That quarter fell onto the dirty floor, I don't want dirty money, plus the fee to play the game is 500 dollars. Then we have to add the tax and the cost of cleaning the floor where the quarter landed. Plus you have enough money to buy us drinks, why not $500?"
"BUT VIPER!"
"Mammon. Now hurry up and cough up the money. Oh, and while we are doing this, lets move onto Reborn and Lal Mirch with the regular news."
"BUT SEMPAI I DIDN'T EVEN GET PAID YET. Scratch that...I NEVER GET PAID!!! AS YOU GUYS SAID, I'M SPENDING MY MONEY ON YOUR DRINKS!!!"
"I'll charge you interest if you don't give me the money by today." Mammon turned and vanished.
"HEHHH!?"
~Yellow Sun and Multicolored Curses~
"Ciaossu everyone." Reborn sat cross legged on the obviously large roller chair.
"Hello everyone," Lal Mirch chimed in sitting in another chair next to Reborn. "We are here to replace Gokudera and Yamamoto."
"As you all know we've sent Tsuna and his family on a vacation..." Reborn chuckled.
"By vacation you mean training...right?" Lal looked hesitatingly at Reborn.
"Of course."
"Well I expected no less from you." Lal replied, "Well then I guess we should continue with this segment."
"That would be in order, but Verde didn't send over the documents we need for today. He said something about the machine broke down and he needed to knock some sense into it."
"Never did like that guy." Lal pointed out, "Out of all the Acrobaleno trials his was the one that would be questioned most. But then again there is no surprise there. Anyone would be upset after being transformed into a one foot tall baby."
With that said the fax machine began spurting out documents.
"Maa, looks like the documents are here Lal." Reborn hopped out of his seat and grabbed the nearest paper. "Looks like we'll be starting with the manga update."
Lal looked about the falling papers and jumped up to grab one, "Chapter 279 right?"
"That came out February 25, 2010 everyone." Reborn stated. "How ever only one website got it out before the other."
"This chapter was called 'When the Rainbow Fades...' I wonder why its called that." Lal said sarcastically.
"Well for starters everyone this left off with Byakuran laughing manically about being able to fight Tsuna with his full power."
"You know what I don't understand though Reborn." Lal asked looking impatiently at the documents in front of her. "How in the world is Byakuran still alive if there is blood spurting from his back. That's got to be more then 5 gallons right?"
"Anime physics Lal, anime physics." *1
"Oh, well then lets continue with the update." Lal continued, "Ironically though, once Byakuran started getting 'serious' he is still getting beaten by Tsuna, I guess its revenge for Sawada eh?"
"Yup, Tsuna seems to be just getting started as well. Byakuran also releases blood dragons which also go for Uni...however Uni deflected them with her orange flames from her pacifier.
"Then Byakuran notices that she is really going through with sacrificing herself to bring back the Acrobaleno. Which reminds me...where am I when all of this is happening?" Lal asked looking through the manga sheets.
"Saa naa (Who knows)." Reborn complied, "But now Byakuran is trying to prevent Uni from reviving the Acrobaleno, Kyoko and Haru are crying, everyone decides they must pitch in to break the tri-ni-sette barrier and Tsuna is ironically beating Byakuran when Byakuran yelled out 'I will kill you to get you out of my way.' At least Primo got his successor to beat him..."
"But like a lot of people, Uni is fearing death. I don't blame her though, she is quite young..."
"She did bring back her courage though, but while all this is happening it seems Basil got Alphin to break through the barrier. Even if it was a small crack the attack 'Super Nova Ocean' was fairly powerful, considering all those box weapons."
Reborn looked down at the next sheet of paper he grabbed from the floor. Lal also complied to do the same. The fax machine stopped its paper shooting rampage.
"As the attack got through the barrier, Gamma hopped in and met face to face with Uni." Reborn continued. "About time actually, goodness he's too naïve for his own good. He ended up sacrificing himself along with Uni since he finally decided to not treat her like a little kid anymore."
"Well Reborn, I'm glad those too had a happy ending, even though they did die." Lal started off soft, "And Uni was smiling to the end until both disappeared. The best traits of the Sky Acrobaleno, is their smile which radiates most..."
"The good always die young, how unfortunate," Reborn lowered his fedora, "But that's not all that has happened this past week."
"Yes, there is still the anime update, however it took awhile for the subtitles to be released for this one, it took awhile to translate I guess."
"This was Episode 173, Choice Ends. It aired on February 27th, however it took awhile for the subtitles as you had just said." Reborn started, "Leaving off from when the base camp released its tracks and started moving as fast as it can."
"Thus letting Kikyo have his fun whilst chasing them teasingly, slowly destroying one feature of the base unit one by one." Lal continued, "Yamamoto is still on the verge of beating the barrier and Sawada is apparently still attempting to get out of Torikabuta...to? Whatever his name is, illusion."
"Never doubt the main characters Lal," Reborn replied, "As you can see Tsuna obviously got out by using the X-Burner on the disillusioned building."
"And the base unit Shouichi and Spanner were in was destroyed with a whole ton of gay flowers..."
"Correct."
"Sometimes I feel oddly sympathetic to the Mare Ring Guardians..."
"Why is that?"
"Because they have the weirdest pose, the weirdest names, and the weirdest natural hair colors." Lal replied. "I mean seriously that 'o-ho' is really starting to get on my nerves."
"Don't let it get to you Lal." Reborn complied, "You might sink down to their level by criticizing them."
"Just saying Reborn. Don't let Leon take over your head." said Lal shrugging.
"Leon isn't here." Reborn pointed to the empty spot on his hat.
"The where is he?" asked Lal.
"In my head."
"Are you serious?"
"No..."
"Great, anyways, it seems that due to the crash incident with the base...Shouichi got out of the unit since he does not want to endanger Spanner and started running."
"Meanwhile, Gokudera who was completely useless last episode, came in, and was somehow able to use his bombs to distract Kikyo for a bit. Need not to say that it did not really work but bought some time for Yamamoto to break the barrier."
"Sawada is now contributing to the action now, saying to Shouichi that he would be right over to help out."
"But ironically when he's on his way Shouichi, Shouichi gets shot through with a flower, Yamamoto broke through the barrier to Daisy and used 'Scrontro Di Rondine' Making the game a tie-ish since it hit at exactly the same time."
"But then Daisy popped up going 'Haha! I'm the undead!' and Sawada eventually got to Irie only to find him unconscious or to be blunt 'dead', whats with all the depressing moments this past week?"
"I don't know, maybe its just a coincidence." Reborn started.
"I have the urge to bust out the quote that retaliates against that."
"Don't, its pretty much an overused quote anyways."
"Psshh, anyways, that is about it for updates, so next we have...Colonello and the Traffic Report."
"Matta Naa!"
~Blue Rain~
"Yo! Kora," Colonello appeared on the screen but was facing towards the left, "What are all you maggots doing?"
"Not my fault! Viper said I owed him 500 dollars for getting a quarter dirty!" A high voice sounded from the doorway.
"I told you its Mammon, and I said as long as you give me the money by today I wont charge you interest." the other voice said calmly.
Colonello stared at the other two Acrobaleno's before facing the screen. "What the hell am I doing to do with you guys, kora." he asked, "Anyways, I have to get this report out fast, today's traffic will be very, very crowded, can't say why though since I don't actually know."
"Maybe its because the cloud guardian isn't in town and people had to stock up on more food/living supplies." Skull stated bluntly until Colonello kicked him in the head.
"Or it could be that everyone decided that it was safe." Mammon summarized.
"That's what I said!" Skull yelled out from underneath Colonello's foot. "Nobody cares what you think kora!"
"Muu, I best be off now then." Mammon muttered as he floated out of the door.
"Ahh! Sempai wait!" Skull ran after Mammon, "I DON'T WANNA PAY 500 DOLLARS!!!"
"What am I suppose to do with those dolts ,kora." Colonello rubbed his head trying to get the excitement out, "Anyways as I was saying, kora."
He then looked out the doorway seeing Mammon floating to the opposite side of the building followed by Skull tagging along begging to lower the debt.
"It's going to be really crowded on the road, so for those of you who want to go out...don't, it would be a lot of crowding and I'm pretty sure when our original reporter comes back he won't like this update at all, kora."
He then looked out the doorway again seeing Mammon caring a valuable looking vase mumbling something about pawning it.
"So until that time we'll see you later, and- HEY! Viper, kora! Who said you can sell that! Get away from that!" Colonello yelled out before bringing out his rifle and aiming it towards the door shooting continuously.
"Its MAMMON!"
"I DON'T CARE MAGGOT! Next we have Fong, kora." he said between gun shots.
~Red Storm~
"Salutations everyone," the storm Acrobaleno bowed, "My name is Fong."
"You don't have to be so polite sempai," Skull retorted from the door.
"Ah, Skull...what are you doing here."
"Looking for Viper, he says I owe him 500 dollars over a game of heads of tails. Have you seen him sempai? he was caring a large vase...well more like shattered vase..."
"Not that I'm aware of." Fong calmly replied. "Well everyone, for today we ran out of things to Advertise. We apologize for the inconvenience..."
"But didn't we see that 'Chrome' thingy at the store-"
"As I said, nothing to advertise." Fong landed on Skull knocking the Cloud Acrobaleno onto the floor under.
"Well if you don't have anything to advertise why not you plan something else." Skull said from underneath Fong's foot.
"Good idea, how about Hide n' Seek?"
"I'll play." Mammon chimmed in, "If you find me Skull I'll let you off the $500 fine."
"What are we waiting for!" Skull jumped up, "But I'm it?"
"Yes you are so go in the corner and count to 10." Fong got off the cloud Acrobaleno.
"Here I go sempai's! I shall relinquish my debt!" Skull hustled over to the corner of the studio. "1...2...3- WHAT COMES AFTER 3!?"
"Four," Mammon replied impatiently. "Just count!"
"Where should we hide?" asked Fong.
"Lets just go under the table."
"That's understandable," Fong muttered ducking underneath the desk followed by Mammon.
"7...8...9...OCTOPUS! Ready or not here I come!!!" Skull hopped all over the room looking around. He checked behind the door, on the ceiling, behind the chair...yet he never checked underneath the table.
"Huwah, sempai's are good at hiding." He breathed as he scurried around the camera crew. "You know what, forget it, I'll just go borrow $500 from the family to pay you back Mammon."
"It's a $1000 fine now." Mammon stated appearing from underneath the desk.
"Apparently if you don't find us the debt doubles itself." Fong sighed.
"That's not fair!!!"
"Well life ain't fair either." Mammon replied back.
"B-but!!!"
"Now now...now is not the time to start a fuss over such a small squabble."
"THIS IS $1000 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SEMPAI!!! $1000!!!"
"Well then I guess it teaches you to not make bets with Mammon anymore." Fons simply replied.
"Muu, I best be off now, we're hoping to and fro...its really getting tiring..." Mammon yawned.
"Well then I guess my turn here is over then." Fong stated, "Next we have our mad scientist with the weather..."
~Green Lightning~ *2
"Unn...no ...but if I insert that key here...no then I would have to...nope...that might work." The green haired baby sat typing at his computer.
"I don't think this code will do." he sighed as he got off the revolving chair and hopped up onto the desk. "Well then on with the weather report."
The green pacifier bearer yawned as he picked up the documents from the pile next to him. "Apparently for today's forecast in Harmony would be tranquil and very little degeneration."
"SPEAK ENGLISH!!!" Skull yelled from the door.
"He's Verde by the way," Fong said, running after Skull.
"Nobody asked you Fong." Verde snapped back. "There will be no regeneration or construction anytime soon and propagation will be bountiful.
"USE SMALLER WORDS!" Skull yelled from the door again.
"Nobody would be able to understand you if you speak in scientific matters Verde, kora." Colonello said with his gun aiming at Skull, "QUIT MOVING DAMMIT!"
"Why don't I get the calm and peaceful section of the update while you guys are off killing each other." Verde asked when Reborn raised an eyebrow.
"That's because no one likes you." Reborn stated bluntly.
"Just once Reborn, just once I tied you guys up to Chess Pawns and you already have a grudge on me. What did I bloody do?" *3
"Tie us to chess pawns?" Lal asked trying to hold back a giggle.
"Touche."
"Exactly."
"Well then I guess this concludes today's update. We may be 2 weeks behind but this is what Spring Break is for." Verde picked off.
"Skull wears my money?" Mammon asked turning to Skull.
"Oh shi- NO I DON'T"
"Ciao Ciao!"
"Gosh, first the debt and now you sexually harassed my cash."
And the television blanked out.
Notes:
1) Anime physics state that Anime character have more then 20-15 gallons of bloody in them thus letting them lose massive amounts at one time without passing out...go google it. Some of the statistics are pretty funny.
2) This weather report would be slightly hard to understand so let me translate just in case some of you don't know...
Sky: Harmony
Sun: Regeneration
Rain: Tranquility
Mist: Constructing
Cloud: Propagation
Lightning: Solidifying
Storm: Degeneration
3) This happened in the Anime since it was a filler arc. The Acrobaleno trials, Verde's was the final one and apparently he tried to blow up every one of the Acrobaleno...by tying them up to exploding chess pieces...
