A/N: Hello! Sorry for the wait!

Thanks, Midori the XS fan for noticing that the previous chpt is a lot shorter. ( I think... -_- ) 200 words or so to be precise.

Like I said before, I'm not very good with writing. I just thought of all the plots, but not in words, and decided to share it with all the other XS fans!

For this chpt, there will be fighting involved, I'll try my best to write it... Just to take note, in this story, the people will be using Box Weapons.

So... without further ado, let's begin!

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR!

The next day, all the Varia Guardians, along with Meridionale, were heading to their destination somewhere in the forest.

The Guardians were ordered by their boss to bring the Fiancata Cloud along with them on this mission, in order to check on her combat ability. At the same time, eliminate her if she don't have enough of the potential.

They were also being told to not to use their full power on this mission. Just in case the Cloud will inform her own famiglia about it later. This is just for safety purpose.

After jumping from tree to tree in the woods, they finally reached their destination. A mansion located in the middle of the forest.

"Ushishi. Here we are." Bel laughed his signature laugh as he stopped at one of the tree branches.

"Now what do we do, Squalo?" Mammon asked as he floated beside Squalo with the help of the yellow viper above his head.

"This mansion has three levels." Squalo began. "Each level has different ranking soldiers. With the strongest ones above and the weakest ones below. The easiest way is that we separate into pairs. Each pair will take on one level."

"So, do we get to choose?" Fran asked in his monotone voice.

"Whatever, just make sure you have the potential to beat whichever ranking soldiers you're against." Squalo answered.

"Ushishi. Then the Prince will take Froggy!" Bel announced as he wrapped his arms around his kouhai's shoulder.

"No way, Senpai. Me rather go with Mammon than you." Fran complained but Bel ignored him.

"Ushishi, we'll take on the 3rd floor then." Bel made his choice.

"Voi! No way, I'm taking the 3rd floor!" Squalo shouted at the Prince.

"I'll be going with you then, Squalo." said Mammon. "Since I don't want to be in the same group as either Luss or Levi."

"Mou~ Mammon-chan, why not?" Lussuria asked.

"Because I already said that I don't like you, didn't I?" Mammon questioned back.

"Voi! Lussuria, you'll just have to take the 1st floor along with Levi then." Squalo announced to the pouting Sun Guardian.

"Then does that mean Me have to take on the 2nd floor with this idiotic Senpai here then?" Fran asked.

"Ushishishi. Bingo, Froggy!" Bel answered.

"What about me?"

Everyone turned their heads towards the owner of the voice. Sure enough, it belongs to the Fiancata Cloud.

"Make your choice." Squalo said reluctantly.

"Well... what are the rankings for each level, Squalo?" Meridionale asked.

"The ones at the 3rd floor, in other words, the ones that me and Mammon are going to take down, are the strongest A-classes. The ones that Bel and Fran are attacking are the B-classes on the 2nd floor. Lussuria and Levi are against the weakest C-classes on the 1st floor." Squalo answered her question by listing down the different ranking of different level.

"Fufu. Then I guess I'll be tagging along with you then, Squalo." Meridionale made her choice.

"Whatever." Squalo said as he lighted his Rain-class ring and punch the blue flame into his Box Weapon. Meridionale stared as Alo made its way out of its box and began to swim around its owner.

"Squalo Grand Pioggia. As expected of the Varia Strategy Captain." Meridionale said in amazement.

"Sure sure, whatever. Bel, Fran, hop on." Squalo called out as he stepped onto his Box Animal's back. "Oh, and you too." Squalo said as he turned back to look at Meridionale. "Unless you can make your own way to the 3rd floor without using the stairs."

"Well..." Meridionale dragged that one word and stared innocently away from Squalo before finally giving her answer. "I can."

She lighted the Fiancata Cloud Ring on her right middle finger. Everyone stared as she took out her Box and punched the purple flame into it. The Box opened before letting out a cloud of purple flame that landed on her left hand. The cloud of flame dispersed as soon as it made contact with her skin, revealing a black crow.

"Corvo di Nuvola." Meridionale explained. "Crow of Cloud. This is my Box Weapon."

Squalo stared at the Cloud-classed crow for a good few seconds before turning back to its owner. "Suit yourself."

Bel and Fran made their way onto Alo's back as it swim towards the mansion, with Meridionale flying beside them with the help of her Box Animal and Mammon with the help of Phantasma. Lussuria and Levi also made their way towards the door.

Bel soon threw his knives at the window of the 2nd floor, shattering them into pieces of broken glass on the floor.

"Ushishi. The Prince and his Froggy will be taking their leave here then." Bel said as he jumped through the broken window. "Don't make yourself dead on your first mission, Boss' fiancee."

"Fufu. Thanks for the warning, Bel." Meridionale replied the Prince with a smile on her face.

"Be sure to protect her if needed, Captain." Fran said after landing beside Bel. "Since there's no way that Mammon-san is going to do that."

"Well, why should I do it when I'm not going to get paid?" Mammon questioned.

"Oh Mammon, don't be like that. And Fran, I assure you that it won't be necessary." Meridionale said as she turned to face the young Varia Mist.

"It better be that way. I don't want to waste time protecting woman who cannot defend themselves." Squalo groaned as he headed towards the 3rd floor.

"Don't worry. It won't happen." Meridionale said as she rushed off after Squalo and Mammon.

Mammon reached the 3rd floor the earliest, so he created his illusionary tentacles under his black Varia cloak and broke the windows.

The soldiers charged towards him on hearing the sound of the broken window, with their weapons in their hands. But they're no match for Mammon. He easily used his tentacles to sweep away their weapons and created waves of water, washing the soldiers away.

"Nice work, Mammon." Squalo said as he jumped off Alo's back. "But each level has around one hundred soldiers. So it means that there's more to come."

"Then let's hurry up and finish this mission then." Meridionale said as she landed beside Squalo.

The three of them made their way towards the nearest rooms. They don't even need to bother about charging in because the soldiers inside had already came out themselves, armed.

"Fufu. Allow me." Meridionale smiled as she opened her Box again, releasing more Cloud Crows that charged towards the enemies, tearing them apart.

"Not bad." Mammon said as he watched the soldiers falling onto the ground.

"Now that saved a lot of time." Squalo commented.

"Fufu. Why, thank you." Meridionale said as the crows made their way back into the Box.

"Let's continue then." Mammon said as he floated off.

The three of them walked around the 3rd floor. It's big, but nothing near the Varia's or the Vongola's. They passed by plenty of rooms, but no one charged out at them. So they can only check each and every room on their own. But sadly, there's nobody in any of them.

"Now that's strange, I don't think we've even taken down half of them. Where are all the soldiers?" Mammon asked.

"I'm not very sure. They might be hiding som-" Meridionale wasn't able to finish her sentence as the door beside her burst open with an axe-holding soldier charging towards her.

Meridionale didn't even have enough time to blink before the man got sliced through the chest before falling onto the ground, dropping his axe.

The Cloud tuned to her left, just in time to see blood dripping down Squalo's sword.

"Voi! Be aware of the things happening around you!" Squalo shouted.

Meridionale didn't reply him. Instead, she took out her Box and punched her flamed-ring into it, releasing a lance out. Meridionale took the lance and charged towards Squalo.

"Voi" Squalo didn't have enough time to shout at the Cloud before she jumped behind him and sliced off the head of an enemy that appeared to be going to attack the shark.

"Now, we're even." the Cloud said as she turned to face the Rain.

"Tch" that's the only thing that Squalo said before heading off after Mammon.

The rest of the mission passed by with silence. The only noise they heard was the screaming of their dying enemies.

"Tch. Looks like we're finally done, huh?" Squalo said as he stared at the broken window which they came in from.

"It appears so. We've already made one round around the whole floor." commented Mammon.

"Fufu. Does this means we can leave now?" Meridionale asked.

"We'll go see how the others are doing." Squalo said as he made his way down the stairs to the 2nd floor, where Bel and Fran supposed to be.

They walked around the 2nd floor, passing by a lot of bloody corpse on the ground, with knives in their body. They finally saw Bel stabbing Fran with his knives in front of a room.

"Bel-senpai. Itai desu." Fran complained with his monotone voice.

"Ushishishi. Shut up, Froggy." Bel laughed as he continued throwing knives at the Mist. "That's what you get for insulting the Prince."

"Me only said that you shouldn't made a bloody mess out of your enemies and made their blood stain on you, Senpai." Fran said.

"Ushishi. And what else did the Froggy said?" Bel questioned.

"Me said that you're so dirty with blood, Senpai." Fran answered, only getting more knives stabbed at his frog hat.

"Ushishi. The Prince is not dirty!" the Storm shouted, throwing more knives at his kouhai.

"Well, apparently, you are." Fran stated.

"VOI! Stop it, you brats!" the two turned their heads to saw the three people approaching them.

"Oh, Squalo-taichou, you're just in time." Fran said. "Senpai is bullying me."

"Ushishi"

*Stab Stab*

"See." Fran said, pointing at the knives on his hat for emphasize.

"VOI! Bel, stop that!" Squalo shouted at the Prince. "And if you're all done with you're part of the mission, let's go to the 1st floor."

"Hai hai, Taichou." Fran said as he followed behind Squalo, not forgetting to pull out the knives on his hat and throwing them on the floor, which only earned him a smack on the head from Bel.

It's a lot easier to find Lussuria and Levi than Bel and Fran. They were just standing beside the door, with a lot of corpse on the ground.

"Oh! You guys finally came!" Lussuria screamed.

"You're late." Levi said, earning a knife in the face from Bel.

"Shut up, Octopus."

"Now can we leave, Squalo?" Meridionale asked.

"Fine." Squalo gave his short answer as he walked towards the door, with the rest of the Varia following behind him.

"Fufu" Meridionale laughed as she stared at the shark's back.

Superbi Squalo. You're very interesting. I know we'll be a lot closer sooner or later.

A/N: I guess that will be it for chpt 7. Please don't be disappointed, I mentioned that they're not going to show their full strength, right? So, don't ever expect my OC to be so weak. Do take note that her famiglia had killed a lot of Vongola members.

I hope this chpt is longer than the previous one for you guys who are reading this.

Please Review!
