Tsuna and the others all climbed the ladder, Yang and Blake at the bottom, then Ichigo and Tsuna at the top. As they all arrived to the surface they found a chair and sat waiting for Kisuke.
Kisuke came out of his room and shut the door behind him. He walked towards them holding a box. "Okay, these are ready for you, Tsuna." Kisuke handed the box to him and then looked to Ichigo. "Ichigo... We gotta talk." Kisuke said to Ichigo in slight stress. Ichigo nodded and stood up following Kisuke's lead.
"I've check every possible way, and i don't see any possible way of restoring your Shinigami powers. Kisuke began sadly. "I see..." Ichigo replied.
"However, you can still fight." Kisuke finished.
"Huh? But how?" Ichigo asked Kisuke in confusion.
"Well lets just say i stole a little more than just a few outfits from the Recon Corps..." Kisuke commented with a smirk and sped up. "Follow me." Ichigo obeyed.
Back at the main room. Tsuna opened the box and looked inside. "No way..." Tsuna said to himself as he strapped on the pair of black and silver leather gloves with a silver X on the back of them inside a silver circle. "X-Gloves?" Tsuna asked what seemed to be the air around him.
"Yup." Reborn said from under him. "You're welcome."
"Y-You did this?" Tsuna asked slightly grateful towards Reborn.
"With help from Kisuke." Reborn replied. "They are used just like your old ones. It's just getting used to them again." He then finished. "Good luck." Reborn stated as he waddled off.
Elsewhere, Kisuke was fitting Ichigo into his Recon Corps gear and uniform. "Well." Kisuke began. "Whaddya think?" He asked with a smile.
"It's comfortable." Ichigo said hesitantly. "I think i can make this work."
"OK." Kisuke said calmly as he clipped Ichigo to what appeared to be a few poles. "You just gotta keep your balance." He finished as he pulled Ichigo off the ground using a handle.
"UH!" Ichigo grunted as he was being pulled up, however he almost easily kept himself upright.
"Very good, you can use the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear quite well..." Kisuke said to himself... "I knew he would have a talent for this." Kisuke finished as he let Ichigo down. Landing on his feet, Ichigo looked to Kisuke who was now unclipping him. "That was easy." Ichigo commented.
"I'm glad." Kisuke bluntly responded as he finished unclipping Ichigo and began to walk. "Let's head up." Kisuke demanded as Ichigo followed him.
Kisuke and Ichigo arrived back into the main room where everyone was talking amongst themselves, except Lelouch who was re-building his Shinkirou from what he had. Tsuna was looking at his X-Gloves wondering when he would start using them.
"How did Ichigo do?" Reborn asked curiously.
"He's a natural, and Tsuna? We managed to make his gloves work, but can he handle them properly, considering?" Kisuke responded.
"We will both see tomorrow. If we overwork him now. He will be no use to us." Reborn answered.
"Alright then. Well done everyone!" Kisuke called out. "Our training is almost complete! Well, Lelouch still needs a new mecha but he'll get there." Kisuke yelled out in pride. "Just remember: We are free flowing and only wear our uniforms when we can." Kisuke added. "We are not officially part of the Recon Corps, so remain incognito until you are called to base, unless trouble issues. In that case, keep your weapons with you at all times, as we have no idea what could happen." Kisuke ordered.
"RIGHT!" Everyone yelled out and stood completely straight.
"No need to be so formal. Dismissed." Kisuke then ordered. The rest obeyed, relaxed and head to their rooms to call it a night.
