{people from Tsuna's mindscape talking to Tsuna, Vice Versa}

Normal POV

Grunts can be heard from Toshi and the gangs.

"Are you guys okay?" Toshi asked.

"we're fine..." Gokudera replied.

"how about you girls?"

"we're ok, desu!" Haru answered.

"everyone is here right?" Tsuki asked. But Reborn, with his fedora tugged down replied him with-"no... someone is missing-"

"-Lazy-Tsuna is not here..."

Yet, while veryone is in panic, the wrap machine suddenly exploded nto nothingness...

#Meanwhile with Tsuna...

Tsuna POV

'Minna... please take care of my friends...' I whispered as faint replies of "Roger" and "Yes" could be heard afterwards.

As soon they are gone, I turned around facing Byakuran who's now standing right in front of me.

"Oya~ What a surpries~! I thought you're going to run away with them, Tsu-chan?" He said.

"I'm going to buy them some times, so you can deal with me in the meantime..." I told him as I made a defence stance.

I've broke the machine too, so there's no turning back. I'm on my own now. And all that I need to do is stay alive or else the seal of Primo and the rest of first Generation will disappear just like that.

If there's one thing for sure, then it will be the fact that...

'I cannot lose in this battle...'

Normal POV

Byakuran blinked few times before then he chuckle and soon broke into a laughter, confusing the brunet yet on the same time alerting him even more...

"Now, what do you think you're going, Tsu-chan? Fighting against me?" Byakuran asked.

"I don't see any other way..." Tsuna narrowed his eyes.

"eh? you're serious? why?did I offend you in any ways? I kept my promise right?" Byakuran seems at lost.

"Yes indeed you don't kill my friends, but killing your own mates? moreover, I believe he was Yuni's subbordinate too." Tsuna said.

Finally knowing what Tsuna meant, Byakuran sighed as he face palmed, "So, it's about him?"

"Looks like he's trully upset over it, Byakuran-sama..." said Kikyo.

"Fine! I have my reason and i'll let you know. Say, after you lower your fists?" Byakuran negotiate with a cheeky grin.

But instead, Tsuna's eyes turned silver.

SFX : *SWISH*

"Uwaaaaah!" Bluebell and Daisy shrieked as Tsuna's right hand got a grip of Byakuran's neck.

"I'll give you three seconds before I burn you to nothingness... one..."

"EEEEH?!" Byakuran's guardians screamed.

"two..."

"W-Wait a second!" Byakuran startled but Tsuna keeps on counting...

"three-"

"Fine, I'll tell you!"

-and Tsuna stood still while Byakuran slowly opened his shut closed eyes, "Come on then, I'm waiting..."

Slowly, the albino let out the breath he never know he's been helding, "O-Okay... so the thing is... Phany, the man that I ordered Kikyo to be killed, he's a traitor to Yuni. a mouse that needs to be eliminate for everyone's sake..."

"and what do you mean with that?" Tsuna asked.

"He was part of this certain organization, Pandora Dragon... I believe you've met them in the past."

'Pandora Dragon...?' Tsuna questioned, 'Oh wait! isn't that-?'

"Right... He was the one who's after your head that day when you're helding your sky arcobaleno trial" Byakuran said. "that organization was also the one who's responsible for the destruction in this era..."

"what do you mean?" Tsuna asked.

"I'll tell you more, but I think it will be better if we talked somewhere else? How about our base?" Byakuran offered, "and besides, You haven't fully recovered yourself, aren't you?"

truth be told, Tsuna is actually holding his pain ever since he activate his flames. Yet he's too stuborn to admit. "That has nothing to do with this. Also, why should I go to the enemy base?"

"How many times should I tell you, Tsu-chan? We are NOT your enemies!" Byakuran squeaked.

"Byakuran-sama is right, Tsunayoshi-sama..." Said Kikyo. But his sudden movement alerted the brunet even more.

"Because we all..." Torikabuto continued.

"in life-dept with you..." Zakuro finished as the whole real funeral warth is now bowing towards Tsuna.

'w-what the-?' The confused brunet thought.

"So Tsu-chan..." Byakuran snapped him out, "are you coming with us?"

-and in the end, Tsuna chose to just complied to the quest...

#With the Vongola

"w-wait... What do you mean, Tsuna-nii isn't here?!" Toshi screamed.

With a lowered head, Dino answered him, "on that last moment, He jumped off and passed me by as he said..."

"-I'll buy you some time..." Squalo bitterly finished. "Tch! that idiota...!"

"He what?!" Most of them shouted.

"But he can't! Tsuna-nii! oh god! he could be killed!" Tsuki screamed his head off.

"We have to get him back!" Said Kyoko in panic.

"How? the wrap machine just exploded!" Yamamoto said.

"Do you know where was that location, Yuni-san?" asked Spanner.

but Yuni shooked her head, "Gomenasai... I only know that Byakuran chose an inhabited island for the Choise."

"Then what should we do?!" Toshi asked to no one as he pulled the streads of his hair.

"We'll stick to the plan..." Reborn said with eyes hidden in the shadow of his fedora.

"-but Reborn-san!" Gokudera tried to reasoned, but Reborn had cut him once again.

"If you hadn't notice, compared to Byakuran and his guardians, you guys still have a long way to go. If we actually get back in anyways, then Tsuna's sacrifies will be in vain." And now everyone's in deep silence.

"If you truly want to save him, then there's only one way..."

Now, fire of determination burns within each of those beautiful orbs.

"We get it. So, there's no back now..." Toshi said in calm tone. "To save Tsuna-nii and return us all to the past, we have to defeat Byakuran..."
