BECOMING THE BOSS – WARNING
The Millefiore Headquarters
In the Millefiore family headquarters Dokuro, Ganma and Yuni stood looking at the door. They didn't know who or what would enter, only that it was an absolutely terrifying entity. This anxiety, this fear was something they had grown all too accustomed to now.
Dokuro took a deep breath so as to calm herself and at that very moment a man entered the room. The man was slightly above average height with short dark hair. He was wearing loose fitting formalwear and sunglasses, his arms covered in tattoos both beautiful and intimidating.
Yuni stepped forward to address the newcomer, "This is the Millefiore family headquarters, what business do you have here?".
"So it's really true" the man murmurs, not bothering to answer Yuni's question. "The Mafia have come to Japan".
"What business is it of yours, our boss asked you a question" Ganma impatiently yells.
The man maintains his silence. He chooses to simply observe as the three mafioso stared him down. Unlike the trio that opposed him though, this individual shows know fear.
Dokuro was the one to break the silence. "It's tradition before a fight, so it seems inevitable now, my name is Chrome Dokuro, who are you?". The tradition Dokuro is referencing is of course the exchange of names between warriors, the only method she has to find out more about this attacker.
"Randa" replies the attacker, "Randa Rensuke".
"I have come to deliver a warning, the mafia is not welcome in Japan, that includes the Millefiore" explains Randa.
Yuni questions to herself whether this is a territorial issue. The Millefiore, the Varia, the Shimon, they have all recently moved to Japan all for one purpose. Maintaining close ties with the Vongola family, the most powerful mafia family in the world. It was many years ago that Vongola Primo was said to have 'fled' to Japan, surely there couldn't be a territory issue following that.
Acting with great quickness and catching everyone unaware, Randa reaches behind his back and swings his arm in such a way that a hidden kunai launched towards Dokuro.
'What speed' Dokuro thinks to herself. She is surprised to the degree where she is unable to react. The speed was incredible but not beyond her capabilities. Instead it is Ganma who reacts, firing a pool ball straight at the kunai so as to stop it.
As the two projectiles collide it is the pool ball that shatters with the kunai maintaining its speedy path towards Dokuro. The mist guardian does not react however, she closes her eyes and maintains her composure as the kunai passes through her body.
Ganma is staggered that he couldn't see through this, 'that was an illusion'.
Not wasting time Dokuro dashes to Randa's side, spinning her trident before aiming it straight at the attacker's head. Something nobody foresaw stops the weapon though, a thin wall of water. The water didn't stop the weapon as such, not when swung by someone with the arm strength of Dokuro. The weapon was slowed to the degree where Randa could comfortably catch the shaft of the trident.
'He controls water' Dokuro quickly concludes, 'Could this power… could it be another route than the dying will flame?'. The mist guardian's thought process is interrupted as Randa uses the weapon as a catapult, throwing the wielder into Ganma as they both crash through a nearby wall.
Yuni is now entirely by herself. 'Not only is his skill formidable but his strength is too'.
"I believe you are a figurehead" says Randa, "Your death will be suitable". Randa brings out a kunai and swings it at Yuni's head, determined that the arcobaleno and Millefiore leader will be substantial enough to send a message to all the others.
It is Randa's turn to be blocked by a newcomer though, this newcomer wielded a sword, Yamamoto Takeshi.
"The Millefiore family… is under my protection" declares the baseball star.
"Oh, a strong one has arrived" smiles Randa.
"Yamamoto" smiles Yuni, knowing that Yamamoto underwent a great increase in strength during the ring contest with Bana and his guardians.
"Be careful, this guy is strong" cautions Byakuran.
"I know, I will fight to survive not to win" responds Yamamoto, subscribing to the same philosophy as Dokuro before him.
At that moment Yamamoto uses the strategy taught to him by Byakuran. Blue wings grow on his back and his sword grows larger than before as he swings it strongly towards Randa.
Randa calmly reacts with a cleverly placed tap using his kunai, deflecting the sword of Yamamoto just enough so that it misses the invader. After successfully escaping from the sword attack, Randa responds by blasting a high speed slice of water towards Yamamoto's chest, forcing the rain guardian to duck.
Upon evading the water from his opponent Yamamoto is instructed by Byakuran, "The ankle then the eyes".
Yamamoto swing his foot towards the closets ankle of Randa but is countered as the latter lifts his foot and slammed it down into Yamamoto's ankle, twisting it in the process. The rain guardian works through the pain and aims his fingers at his opponent's eyes. Of the two combatants, Randa is the faster to react, he throws Yamamoto over his shoulder before the poke could obscure his vision.
The baseball player steadies himself with his wings before gently landing. Immediately regretting it Yamamoto moans in pain.
"Don't land you idiot" screams Byakuran, "Your ankle will only get worse".
Yamamoto lifts himself of the ground using his wings before there is a change in Byakuran's tone.
"Yamamoto, help is here" his master assures him.
Bursting in through the door is the Hitman Tutor Reborn. Reborn immediately fires a full power shot towards Randa, with the latter narrowly dodging.
The dodge doesn't remain effective for long as Dino jumps in through the hole created by Dokuro and Ganma, grabbing one of Randa's arms with his whip, Dino limits the movement of his opponent.
The last of the trio to enter the room is Kozato Enma, who uses his powers of gravity manipulation to form a black hole, an enormous force which forces Randa to his knees and eventually onto his front.
Climbing back in through the hole she created, Dokuro reinforces the mafia's hold on their enemy, using the power Mukuro left her to constrain Randa with vines.
As the next few moments pass the room was flooded by the world's strongest mafioso, Sawada Lambo, Sasagawa Ryohei and Kyoko, Gokudera Hayato, Miura Haru and Hibari Kyoya.
Finally, the 'big boss' entered the room, the man who united the strongest mafioso in the world, Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"I'm sorry I took so long" says Tsuna with his gaze not leaving Randa. "You've done an excellent job my guardians, fellow Vongola". Tsuna is always quick to praise his allies especially in a situation such as this, before he had even got there they had been successful in restraining this huge threat.
"What interests me right now… is who are you" the 10th questions Randa.
"My name is Randa Rensuke, I am here to deliver a warning that the mafia is not welcome in Japan" recites the tattoo covered man, as if it is his sole mission in life.
"Release him" orders Tsuna.
"Are you sure?" Enma asks, his voice full with doubt, who knew if they would be able to restrain him again.
Tsuna nods to Enma, as the various mafioso in the room release their grips on Randa. The attacker leaps to his feet and brings his face right up to Tsuna's, leaving the two in a stand-off. What Randa didn't expect was that Tsuna didn't even flinch.
"I am Sawada Tsunayoshi, the 10th leader of the strongest mafia family Vongola, Japan is my home and I have no intention of leaving, so what are you going to do" Tsuna questions. He doesn't bat an eyelid as he stares into the heart of this threat, potentially the greatest threat the mafia has ever seen.
"Whether you kill me or not, either way the message will get back to my superiors that you're not leaving" begins Randa, "When that happens, they will hunt you down like animals and put you to the sword". After seeing the power that naturally emanates from Tsuna, Randa still made such a claim, showing his full confidence in the strength of his superiors.
"Your superiors, who are they" Tsuna asks aggressively, as if demanding an answer from Randa.
The interrogation was interrupted as the world's second strongest mafioso burst into the room, Vongola Bana. "Your superiors, are they the ones that created me?".
Randa turns his head to look at Bana before he breaks out into hysterical laughter. "So you failed, you were supposed to keep the mafia in Italy but you failed miserably, Bana, you truly are a disappointment".
Bana feels a shiver run down his spine, this man knew his name, he was clearly part of the organisation that created him. "Why create me" Bana asks, "Why for that purpose… WHO DID IT" Bana yells, getting more and more flustered as things don't become any clearer to him.
"You were created from the genetic material of Vongola Primo, you look identical to him and we made it this way specifically so that you could earn the trust of the Vongola family and lead them back to Italy" explains Randa. "But you failed, your creators were the same people who wanted me to send you this warning".
"Enough with your shit" Bana grinds his teeth, "I want names, what organisation do you work for". Bana breathes heavily, his breath drained from his extended period of shouting.
"I would sooner die than betray them" says Randa as he pulls out another hidden kunai and stabs himself in the chest.
"WAIT… DON'T YOU DARE DIE… COME BACK HERE YOU BASTARD" Bana yells at Randa's body long after he dies.
Despite being upset by the scene before him Tsuna maintains his focus, his job is not to discover Bana's origins it is to protect him and the rest of the Vongola family. "Hibari, I think we need to talk".
"Things are about to get interesting again" smiles the cloud guardian.
The Roof
It was windy on the roof. The weather conditions amplified the sounds of the sirens as emergency vehicles began to arrive below. People had reported explosions, gunfire, screaming and structural damage. All the emergency services had arrived. Due to his connections in the police force, Hibari was able to arrange for he and Tsuna to be left alone on the roof.
"Please tell me the truth, do you have any idea who that man was" asks Tsuna.
"Nothing specific" Hibari blandly states.
"But…" prompts the chestnut haired boss.
"That tattoo on his arm, he may have come from the Yakuza" suggests the cloud guardian.
"The Japanese counterpart to the Mafia?" asks Tsuna, requiring more information from his subordinate.
"They may feel threatened by our encroaching on their territory" suggests Hibari.
"How can they be strong enough to threaten us" asks Tsuna. The dying will flame is strong, when Byakuran used in the future he was able to rule over the entire world and since then Tsuna had become much more proficient in its use. Compared to a 'superpower' like that what could the Yakuza possibly do.
"Japan has a history of being a warring nation" replies Hibari in an attempt to justify how the group got so strong. "Ask yourself, with me in the police force, why have the Yakuza still not gone into hiding".
"The only conclusion I can draw" Tsuna darkly begins, "is that they are not afraid of you".
"Exactly" frowns Hibari.
"I don't want to push their buttons; would you be willing to move to Italy?" Tsuna questions his cloud guardian, as much through curiosity as anything else.
"No, I hate running away, herbivore" answers the policeman.
Tsuna smiles at that, "Yeah, we all do".
"Very well then, they have thrown down the gauntlet and now we will pick it up".
"This challenge they have made; we will accept".
"If the Yakuza want to challenge the mafia to a territory war, they will find out why we have held Italy for so long".
Hibari smiles at Tsuna's speech, "This is too exciting" he replies.
"In the mean time I am getting married to Dokuro, I hope you meant what you said about removing unsavoury people" says Tsuna.
"Don't worry, they will have to walk over my corpse to interfere" promises Hibari.
It was that day that war was declared, between the Mafia and the Yakuza.
