Arc 02: Main Story

Chapter 06 – Sky Flames

A few days later, Li was called out for a mission. He wore his black suit, red tie and his fedora. Taka was left in charge of the house.

Many days past and Taka knew that Li was in trouble. Taka packed everything that belonged to him into a luggage to get ready to escape. His IC card, money, laptop, many kinds of weapons and many other things.

~ A few hours later ~

Suddenly, Li came into the house with many bruises, cuts and burns on him. Somehow, his fedora was still really clean.

Taka rushed to him. "What happened Father?!"

"Taka… run! The Gilget Famiglia… coming! Hurry… run!" and Li collapsed to the floor.

"No! I will not leave you, Father!"

Li coughed out blood. "H-Hurry… run!"

Suddenly, the front door was kicked open and many men in black suit entered. One man saw Li and Taka on the floor.

"I have found 'The Silent Killer'. He has a kid with him!"

Li was still panting and many men in black suit surrounded them. One of them took up a gun and shoot Li on the head. The bullet hits Li's head and blood was pouring out. He was dead...

Then, the man pointed the gun to Taka.

"Sorry kid, nothing personal. This is why you should not involve yourself with the mafia."

Taka looked at the gun and tears were falling. He has not cried, not even when he knows the truth of his birth. The man pulled the trigger, but the bullet did not hit Taka. Instead, Taka's head was on fire.

~ Taka's Point Of View ~

I felt weak as I closed my eyes. I wanted to die and go to where Father was. Suddenly, there was a voice coming from behind my mind.

'Do you want to live?'

'...'

'Do you want to live?'

I got back my resolve. 'Yes! I want to live!'

'Use the power you have to let you live then!'

Then, on my head a flame appeared. 'This flame… is warm…'

'This is the Vongola's Dying Will Flames. Now, use your Dying Will Flames to punish those guys!'

~ Normal Point of View ~

Taka opened his eyes and put on the glove Li gave him. Taka's eyes changed from brown colour to orange colour and the glove was also lit by the Dying Will Flames. Taka then hits the man who was pointing the gun at him and knocked said man out.

"Come! I will fight you all!"

Many men were mad and rushed towards Taka and Taka punched each of them away. Soon, Taka was surrounded by too many men and he could not fight back. He also suffered many fatal injuries.

Taka was in a life or death situation where he was forced into a room with no air. When he breathes his last, Taka closed his eyes and fainted.

~ Taka's Point Of View ~

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a dark area where they were many spirits. There were many voices of how the Vongola Famiglia members were killed.

"What… is… this…?"

"This is how the Vongola Famiglia members face their deaths by other Famiglia."

"This is… madness…!" while my tears were falling.

"This is how the Vongola died for the pass few centuries."

"Why… why are you showing me these… these things?"

"If you want to be stronger, you must accept a role."

"A role to protect the Vongola bosses."

"You and your descendants' fates are to forever be bind to protect the Vongola bosses."

"You must risk your life to protect the bosses, even if you die in the process."

"Will you accept this role?"

"Or die today?"

"I… I…" and I wiped off my tears. "I will accept the role to protect the bosses! I must be stronger! To protect the ones I love!"

I fainted and almost fell to the floor. But someone caught me and helped me stand back up.

"This is…?"

There were eight people standing opposite of each other, and a person standing in front of the eight people directly in front of me. The eight people slowly lit their weapons one by one with their Dying Will Flames. They are the Vongola Secondo to the Vongola Nono. Then, directly in front of me, a man stood up. The man lights his gloves with Dying Will Flames.

"I have recognized your resolve to protect the ones you love. You will receive much stronger power to protect."

Primo then lights his Dying Will Flames even stronger and the other eight bosses did the same. My surroundings were filled with light and many memories flowed into my mind while my full powers were unlocked.

~ Normal Point of View ~

The men in black who opened the door were stunned by the light and could not see for a while. After the light died down, they were shocked to see Taka standing without any injuries on him.

Taka's gloves were lit with pure Sky Flames. 'T-Glove, Version Pure Sky.'

The men quickly rushed towards Taka wanting to kill him off quickly because he was now even more dangerous, but Taka dodged them all and knocked them out. After all the men were knocked out, the flames on his head and gloves disappeared. His eyes too changed from orange back to brown. Taka then walked to where his Father was and took his fedora.

Taka wore his Father's fedora while glaring at the men who tried to killed him. "This is what you get for killing my Father!"
