Chapter 20: Inheritance Arc 4

Out of the limousine, stepped out a small army of mainly teens, with some well-know faces – Poison Bianchi, Lancia, Ranking Prince Fuuta... With those people as the main body of the new generation, Squalo could just about feel the curiosity of all the mafiosi rising.
The unArmy and Alien Force took their place left and right of the second limousine, and the mafiosi were reduced to gossiping girls as a tall, elegant silhouette stepped out of it as main voucher for the Guardians and new Boss.

After all, it was impossible not to recognize Renato Sinclair himself – and after all the work he did to erase his identity from the world, his presence was one heavy statement.
Once out of the limousine, he stepped back enough to give space for those not yet out, and as was usual called out each of the Guardians out by name and affinity to present them to the assembly.

Each Guardian was wearing a tailored black suit with a dress shirt underneath in their own Flame color, and like the rest of their generation, a silky armband with a coat of arm – and it was becoming clear to the mafiosi assembled that there were four different coat of arms – and surprisingly, two different among the Guardians.
The new generation was coming to this Ceremony more than ready, it was evident enough – and appreciated by the old generation, who was getting the proof that Nono's gamble of choosing a Japanese teenager ignorant of their world had paid off.

The last two Guardians were a surprise to all present – because there shouldn't be eight Guardians, and the second Mist and unknown Moon in her grey dress shirt were one more impossible feat to add to the youngest Vongola Boss.
Then, the Boss and his Shadow were announced, both wearing the orange dress shirt designing them as Sky in a different tint – lighter for the boy twin, darker for the girl twin.

And even thought rumors had already started months ago about the Sky twins, seeing them officially confirmed at the Inheritance Ceremony was still a big event – so big that people nearly miss Renato Sinclair slipping back into Reborn's form and jumping onto Kazami's shoulder, confirming yet another two rumor in one moment.

Yes, Squalo had been right – this would be a Ceremony to remember...

Within the crowd of Famiglia, the Simon were barely holding on their nerves – thankfully, not provoking any suspicion from Daemon's part as he thought it was merely the idea of starting the fight against the Vongola that was affecting them.
Soon enough, they were herded into the ballroom with the rest of the mafiosi – and Tsuna and Kazami, Guardians forming a half-circle around them, were facing Nono and his own men. Then, one man came, holding a velvet cushion upon which rested a dark wooden box, within which was a small phial with an elaborate silver cork.

Vongola's Sin.

And something unexpected happened – as before Nono could bestow the Sin upon Tsuna, the heavy doors of the ball room opened loudly, and an old silhouette, legendary among the mafiosi if rarely seen, made it's way toward the two Vongola generation facing each other.

"Sorry to interrupt Nono, but I'm afraid the Decimo doesn't need to shoulder this Sin anymore."
"What do you mean?" Timoteo Vongola politely asked – after all, he may be the current Boss of the Vongola, this was a man who had known the first Vongola Boss
"When Primo left this Sin to Secundo, he came to me and gave me the Penalty to this Sin." announced Talbot, the old eccentric man looking out of place in the middle of all the mafiosi, yet their respect evident "And asked of me to find the generation of Vongola that would be worthy of his dreams." a small, empty phial looking a lot like the one holding the Sin was in his hand – and all the Vongola X recognized it

"This is..."
"The phial that held Giotto's blood." the tengu hidden as a human nodded to the young Decimo "aye." turning back to Timoteo "I've already passed Primo's Penalty to his latest heir," he announced "As the new Vongola Rings will attest to... Well, come on, Decimo, Shadow, show us your Inheritance!"
