CHAPTER 9- The Sky Protector Revealed
When I woke up I was inside a thing like a bubble. I felt so tired and all I wanted to do was sleep. My eyes began to close but I started to hear familiar voices.
"Do you really want to start a war against the Vongola Famiglia Renato of the Triste Famiglia?" the familiar voice of G echoed.
"If that's the case then I will bite you to death", Kyoya said. A sound of clicking tonfas, handcuffs, Nufufu's and Kufufu's can be heard in the background.
Renato just laughed loudly at everyone. Judging by all the noises, the Tenth Generation Vongola Boss and guardians are present, the Arceo are obviously here because they are patrolling the Area, and I can hear the familiar clicking of guns from Reborn-nii, Colonello-nii, and Lal-nee.
"I am glad that you are all here, the three most powerful groups of people in the Vongola and of course the infamous Vongola Decimo", Renato stated. "I am here to force you to give up those Vongola Rings of yours".
"You never give up don't you? You're a fool to even approach us?" the familiar voice of the Viole said and started to attack Renato. I don't know what's happening already because my eyes are closed and all I can do is to listen to the sounds produced. There are a lot of clanking sounds of metals produced and a lot of gunshots can be heard.
"You're outnumbered Renato, just give up and we might spare you from any forms of torture", Reborn-nii said.
"I think that should be my line Sun Arcobaleno. Before I lose my cool you should surrender those priceless rings to me, or I will be forced to do something you would not like", Renato replied already.
"And pray what would you have that can make us regret our decision", Daemon asked in a creepy voice.
"What if I tell you that I hold something very dear to the Arcobalenos and to Arceo", Renato said and I think I am reaching a conclusion.
"Care to explain more, and what would be more important to us that protecting the Decimo and the Guardians", Lal-nee said.
"What if I tell you that I have the person you have cared for the past four years Arcobalenos and have become a very important friend to the Arceo?"
"Don't tell me...", Hayate said and all of a sudden I felt a force surround me and for a second I saw the horrified faces of the Arcobaleno, Arceo, and the Tenth Generation Vongola Guardians and Boss. My body was held placed in like a cross like thing and I was hanging from it.
"Yes, I have the daughter of General Iemitsu with me and before I can do something to her, why don't you be generous and give up those rings?"
"You...", I can see Reborn-nii said with his gun on the ready and anger flashing from his eyes.
"Tch..tch...tch Sun Arcobaleno, wrong move and you will see your the lady you treated as your younger sister dead", I opened my eyes to see everything that's happening, Renato has a lot of bruises already that I think came from Viole's attack.
In the other hand, the Vongola seems to be unharmed. That made me glad that they seem to be okay.
"Touch her and I'll kill you", Reborn-nii said and pointed his gun at Renato.
"Fidel, come here", Renato said and another big man wearing all black appeared and used a knife to cut the ropes that bind me. He dragged my body to Renato's direction and Renato himself grabbed my neck.
"One wrong move of anyone and I'll break this young lady's neck", Renato stated and to prove his words he tightened his grip on my neck which made me shout with pain.
My voice made the entire people present fidget in nervousness and dilemma. Reborn-nii was already biting his lips, and the others are nervous.
For a second, Renato's hands crackled with lightning and enveloped my whole body, I screamed in pain...this continued for a minute and I can barely keep my eyes open. After electrocuting me he dropped my seemingly lifeless body on the ground and kicked me in my stomach.
I winced in pain and my attention shifted to the Vongola Famiglia. I can conclude and imagine what I looked; my body is filled with scratches, wounds, and blood. My glasses are already broken and my hair is in all directions. I can only chuckle...
Renato's laugh echoed in my ear. Everything hurts; all I want to do is sleep. I can see Reborn-nii's face...it's filled with worry...not only him but everyone has that face. I don't want that...I want everyone to be happy...I can only ask myself...Am I going to die now? If yes, that at least in the end I saw Ieyasu's face.
In my mind I silently said my goodbyes...
"Guess, my hands slipped and I hurt your beloved little sister, Arcobalenos. Now...the Vongola Rings, Vongola guardians or you will see this girl die in front of your eyes.
"Kill me if you want...but we will never give you the rings...not now...not ever...", I slowly said and with my remaining energy struggles to sit down. In the background, I can hear everyone say my name. "I am a member of the Vongola...and I will die if it's for the sake of the family".
That statement of mine made Renato irritated and he shot me another blast of lightning flames. This time I bit my lips so that only a small voice can escape.
My body felt numb and sore...I want to lie down and just forget about everything. But I remembered Reborn-nii's words. 'You are a member of the Vongola, you must be strong, and if it's for the sake of the family we will never be afraid of anything...even death'.
When I remembered that statement I felt something surge in my body. What is this feeling? It's like I am filled with resolution and resolve to protect everyone. Like nothing can stop me and what I need to do is to protect them from harm.
'Don't give up' something said from inside me. What's that voice? It sounds so familiar yet so distant. 'Don't give up Tsuna, protect them'.
Protect everyone? How?
'You have that power already, just wish for it and think about why do you want to protect them'
Why I have to protect everyone? My answer is simple...because all I wanted to see is for all of them to smile.
'Very well. I will pray for your safety, Tsunayuki Sawada, Sky Protector of the Arceo'
The Sky Protector is me all along? How can this happen? And in a few seconds, orange flames enveloped my whole body, and the only thought in my mind is to protect everyone.
I feel like my whole body is covered with flames...and it felt like ordinary for me. My hands where covered with black gloves with the crest of the Vongola family. I can feel that my senses are heightened and I can see even the slightest of moves. Suddenly, flames enveloped my gloves and an orange flame can be seen on my forehead.
I went to the direction of Renato and to my surprise a burst of flames burst into my hands and in only seconds I was directly in front of Renato and gave him a punch with my flame covered hands and the force it produced sent him to a wall a good 500 meters away. Fidel and Renato's other subordinates are already running with fear only to be surrounded by the Arceo. Renato was already surrounded by the Arcobalenos, and the Vongola Decimo and his Guardians are busy with some reports.
I was standing at the center looking at all the damages. Buildings are already destroyed and large holes can be seen on its walls. The roads are gravely destroyed and at least no civilians are hurt. The signs of orange flames can still be seen on some parts. The flames at my forehead and in my hands were put out. I started to feel the stress, tiredness, and pain all over my body. And before I knew it I fainted but not before for eight beams of orange flames to surround me healing all my injuries.
