Ryu- I'm updating because well, it's a snow day! Though I don't think we need it because it isn't snowing hard, though the snow is pretty deep.
Any way, I forgot to add some stuff in the last chapter, but I guess I'll do it in this chapter, seeing Tsuna's pack and the Zodiac family will be fighting. That way, it would be easier guessing who Phoenix is.
HikariNoTenshi-San – You're going to have to wait. The Zodiac Family isn't really a pack, so rules like that don't apply to them.
XxXmaximuMrideRXxX- Yes, marshmallows are good and fluffy.
-xShiroi-chan – Oh, I don't get to do that. No computers to use, and here's another update, three in a row.
yuki-nekolin – There are many variations. Ram is similar goat or sheep, and I am also Chinese. About the rat thing, it was mainly used for comedy, nothing else. Also, there are many versions of the cat and the zodiac, I only used one, so it maybe different.
Tsuki no Akebono – Here's the next chapter.
Zodiac History
Currently, some of Tsuna's pack members were already engaged in battle, while some were not, this included Tsuna himself.
"Uh, aren't you going to attack or something?" Tsuna said.
"There's no reason to. All the higher ups said to just intercept you guys, they said nothing about capturing or killing, or anything of that sort. Besides, I much rather watch fighting then do it myself." Byakuran said. Then he took out a marshmallow and began toasting it with a white flame.
"A celestial flame?" Tsuna said.
"Hm? Oh, you know about this. That's a surprise. Though not really, seeing as how you were friends with the previous head." Byakuran said as he ate the toasted marshmallow.
"Previous head?" Tsuna said.
"Yes. It's like a wolf pack's alpha, or a clan leader. Dragon was the previous head, but because of certain circumstances, I am the new head." Byakuran said.
"Was it because she gave her flames to someone?" Tsuna said.
"Oh no. She was supposed to do that, but she stopped." Byakuran said.
"What do you mean?" Tsuna said.
"Since we're a little short on time, I'll show you." Byakuran said, and then suddenly white flames surrounded them, but was not melting the snow. Then everything went black, the only thing Tsuna could see was the white flames and Byakuran. Suddenly, images began appearing.
Dragon watched as a person lay twitching on the ground. Then suddenly black flames flared up from the body, engulfing it. Moments later, a fiery cat was hissing at her.
"It seems like you weren't compatible at all. Don't worry, I'll end your misery before it escalates." Dragon said as she charged in her dragon form. Blood sprayed and Dragon as holding a white flame. "Sorry cat, I caused you pain as well. You've been corrupted." Dragon said as she engulfed the white flame with her own black flame.
The scene changed.
"Dragon, as head of the Zodiac family, you must continue making new flames. You are the spark that starts the fire." A man said.
Dragon, who was currently in human form scowled. "But every time I start a new fire and they can't control it, they die."
"Only if their not compatible. Look at you, you have two flames and the dragon spirit, those could have killed you." The man said.
"Yes, the dragon spirit is violent, but I lived, and having two flames is strange when I'm supposed to have one, but it doesn't matter, other people's lives are worth more than mine. Seeing as how I don't know how I came into being." Dragon said.
"Hey now, your mother-" The man said before being cut off.
"Is just my guardian and the dog of the zodiac. Which reminds me, I must talk to her." Dragon said as she changed and walked off.
The man clenched his fist. "I guess I'll have my mole get some flame." The man said as he walked off.
The scene changed again.
Dragon was on a bed, her death bed. All the spirits of the zodiac were gathered around her. She gestured for the tiger spirit to come forward.
"Tiger, I don't think I can be the head any longer. So you will be it. I know you don't like me, but as my last request please full fill it. Be the head, and find the phoenix." Dragon said, and her arm dropped, her eyes closed for the last time.
The tiger merely stared, but if you looked closely, something fell from it's eyes.
The white flames disappeared and they were back in the snowy field.
"Dragon started quite a big fire, and she left an impossible request." Byakuran said.
"What do you mean?" Tsuna asked.
"Well, she started all the hybrids, and she told the tiger spirit to find something that hasn't been seen since nearly four hundred years ago. Though because the zodiac family must full fill dying wills, no matter what the request. Because of that, I hate her very much." Byakuran said.
"Then why did you capture her?" Tsuna said.
"One, because we need the Dragon spirit, and two, I'm going to make her take back that request." Byakuran said.
"But won't that cause death and pain?" Tsuna said.
"Of course." Byakuran said as he gave a smile.
"Then I have to stop you." Tsuna said as he changed.
"Then I have no choice but to fight you. Shame too, you were so cute." Byakuran said as he changed into a large white tiger and charged.
In the room with Xanxus and Irie, Irie finally had enough time to turn into his dog form. Just in time too, because the bullets were headed his way. Irie increased his flames and melted the bullets.
'Phew, good thing I have the night flames, flame of defense.' Irie thought.
There was silence, then Xanxus began shooting again.
'But it doesn't if I can't attack the enemy!' Irie shouted in his mind.
With the battle between Hibari and Dino, Hibari was winning, mainly because Dino kept tripping over himself, despite the fact he was the graceful horse. Even in his horse form, he was still tripping. His color didn't help either, white just stood out.
The battle between the Ki Tee, Gokudera, and Belphegor had a definite winner. Tsuna's pack members were winning, and Ki Tee was running for his life.
"Gah, why does the cat not have a black or white flame nya!? Why does it have a gray flame nya!?" Ki Tee shouted as he dodged dynamites and knives.
Soon, Ki Tee was cornered, and the two were going in for the kill, figuratively of course.
'Grr, if I don't have a defense or attack, I 'll make some nya.' Ki Tee thought as he increased his flames. It began burning up everything it touched, so Gokudera and Belphegor had to move away. "Hah! I got you no-" Ki Tee said before he coughed up blood. "Gah, w-what's happening. What's this burning feeling." Ki Tee said as he collapsed and fell unconscious. The flames began eating away at his body, leaving only a cat skeleton.
"Ew, that's gross." Gokudera said.
"Ushishi. That peasant killed himself." Belphegor said.
Back with Tsuna and Byakuran, they already sustained some scratches and cuts. Then Byakuran suddenly stopped as a gray flame came his way.
"It seems he couldn't control his flame all the way, oh well, another can be found." Byakuran said and he put the gray flame away.
"How can you be so heartless." Tsuna said.
"You have to be, when you're the head." Byakuran said as he charged.
With Squalo and Yamamoto, Yamamoto decided he would never look at Squalo the same way again, not that he looked at Squalo at all.
"Grr, have a taste of my increased white flame!" AA Pe shouted. White flame erupted, both Squalo and Yamamoto thought they were toast, that is until AA Pe began screaming in pain as the flame ate away at him, leaving only a skeleton.
"Whoa, I will never look at monkeys the same way ever again." Yamamoto said.
"Since when do you look at monkeys runt." Squalo said.
Idiots.....
With Ken and Chikusa, they were watching what seemed like a bonfire, except in reality, it was a rat body being eaten away by a black flame.
The zodiac flames need compatibilities in mental strength...
Mukuro held an unconscious Chrome in his arms as he watched the snake be eaten away by white flames.
Physical strength....
Lambo was crying as Levi yelled at him while the ox was eaten away by black flames. Deciding he couldn't take it any more, Lambo took out a bazooka out of his afro, much to the surprise of Levi, and shot himself. When the smoke cleared, there was an older person there.
"Wow, Dragon's bazooka worked." The person said. Levi just gawked.
And most important of all......
"Humph. Wasn't worth my time. I didn't even get paid." Mammon said as he watched the woods and body be eaten away by black flames.
The spirit....
"That is extremely cool. He just burst into black flames!" Ryohei shouted as he pumped his glove covered fists into the air.
The Spirit of the person......
"Aw, and he was such a hotty too." Lusurria said as he watched the white flames through his sunglasses.
Must be able to dominate the zodiac spirit!
The battle between Tsuna and Byakuran was halted, when seven flames came floating in.
"What, impossible!" Byakuran said.
"All those lives..." Tsuna said.
Byakuran looked at Tsuna.
"We'll finish this another day." Byakuran said, and then he ran toward a door that had suddenly opened.
The remaining zodiac members also fled when doors opened.
The Zodiac spirits and flames are something not to be underestimated. If you cannot dominate the spirit with your own, the spirit will eat you, but if you have a strong spirit, the zodiac will respect you.
"Sir, it seems specimen 666's brain is still active." A scientist said.
"What, I thought we made her brain dead!" The person who seemed to be in charge yelled.
"Apparently not, there's activity going on in her brain." Another scientist said.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter. Byakuran's coming back along with the remaining zodiac members. She'll be dead when Byakuran takes her zodiac spirit." The man said.
"Sir, what do you mean?" A scientist said.
"Are you stupid or something. We have been researching this all this time and you haven't noticed. When you take a person's main animal spirit out, you ultimately kill them." The man said.
"Oh, sorry sir."
-TBC-
Ryu- Yeah, I know. I've killed off most of the OC's, but it's not like everyone is liking them. Anyway, only the KHR characters are alive of course. Don't want to kill them.
Anyway, by now, it should be easy to see who phoenix is, I mean, all the clues point to that person. So yeah.
