Chapter 21: Inheritance Arc 5

Start from the beginning
                                        

Before anyone could answer, Jagger stated "The battle is over, and Suzuki Adelheid has been deemed the looser. Therefore the fifth memory entrusted to us by Giotto and Cozarto will be revealed!"
With that, the fifth memory was unleashed.

"That's impossible! Giotto's couldn't have seen through my plan!" a furious Daemon Spade protested, his appearance fading into the one visible in the memories
An amused laugh made him snap out of it, and the next moment, he was evading an attack "Isn't it shameful, really?" Mukuro drawled "The first of the Vongola Mists, outsmarted by his Boss..."
The next attack came from a completely different direction "You know," Chrome's gentle voice commented as she weaved her illusions against him "You're quite pitiful for a Mist Guardian..."

"What are you saying, you stupid child! I gave everything for the Vongola's power! And this is why your idiotic Decimo must go! He is just as weak as Primo!"
"Weak are they?" Mukuro idly commented between two attacks
"Yet both of them fooled you..." completed his other half

As they had taken Mukuro's attention, the Vindice had reappeared, all five Simon's Guardians in tow – and Enma had stopped hiding himself.
Seeing this, the ancient Mist Guardian sputtered "How is it possible! The Vindice never gives back their prisoners!"
"True." Reborn nodded "But didn't you hear our Mists? You've been twice fooled, Daemon Spade!"

"A first time by Primo's generation when he saved the Simon and hid them away!" Mukuro interjected
"And a second time when you were manipulated into giving away your existence here and then by Decimo's generation!" Chrome completed

And it was both impressive and terrifying – for all that the two young Mists word-play enraged him further and further, Daemon Spade was still easily keeping up with them, dancing around their attacks like it was nothing and replying by his own with but a thought...
Which made Mukuro's and Chrome's taunting all the more important – for only by keeping that man off kilter could they hope to vanquish him.

And in the midst of his rage, looking around him Daemon Spade couldn't help but smile triumphantly "Ah! You may have fooled me but I still won in the end! Look at the fury in your Simon Decimo's eyes! This is what I wanted! For no weak fool can hope to control the powers of Earth! I groomed him to make his crumble and self destroy! You won't win against him"

"You know," Tsuna commented "Since Giotto worked with Cozarto when he fooled you a first time..."
"What made you think Tsuna-kun wouldn't be working with me this time?" Enma completed

"But... This rage..."
"Oh, I'm angry alright." the young Simon Boss confirmed "Against you! You who used me and mine as tools for your stupid goal!" he shouted, Flames flaring around him "You say that Giotto and Tsuna are weak?" his laugh was harsh and unforgiving "Yet they are the ones that manged to outsmart you! Don't you think that maybe what you see as a weakness is in truth their greatest strength?!"
"Feelings like compassion and empathy won't help the Vongola growing stronger!" Daemon Spade answered back "And pathetic weak little illusion users like you won't win against me!" he added toward the two Vongola Guardians still fighting with him

"Ah true enough this is but child's play!" lightly commented Mukuro "But I guess our pride as Vongola X fighters can't be besmirched like this without an appropriate answer!"
"Sorry, Tsu-kun, Enma-san, but we'll be fighting a bit more!" commented in turn Chrome
And thought it was the two boss that were supposed to attack the old ghost to weaken him, they both nodded their acceptance – because in the end, it didn't really mattered who was fighting the man as long as they kept his attention away from Kazami long enough and weakened him enough.

If the two Mist users seemed like they were in danger, then they would take over.

"Cambio Forma, Naraku!"
"Nebbia, Bruma, Cambio Forma!"
