Chapter 21: Inheritance Arc 5

But even as battered as the two were becoming, they didn't stop fighting, somehow evolving and adapting faster and faster in front of their enemy.
"My," a newly awakened Julie muttered weakly "When did small and scaredy-cat Enma-chan grew up? He sounds just like a true boss now..."
At that Adelheid smiled brightly – for this truly was their fellow childhood friend and guardian, instead of the grotesque replacement that his possessed body had been for all these months. And if there were tears mixed in her smile, nobody dared point it out.

"You're still so cute when you cry!"
Except a suicidal newly freed teenager...

While Adelheid was barely restraining herself from pounding back her co-guardian into oblivion, a violent movement of Daemon Spade scythe nearly cut the two young fighters in two, opening a deep gash in Tsuna's side and violently thrusting Enma to the ground.
This time, the Simon Decimo wasn't getting back up, the Vongola Decimo barely able to stand up anymore.

Only Jagger's hand on her shoulder was restraining Kazami from rushing toward her brother – that, and the fire still burning in both of their eyes.
Because their bodies may be breaking, but neither of the two fighters were ready to give up.
And just like that, she could feel both their souls and Flame resonate with each other.

The next second, Enma's ring was slipping from his finger, as if animated by his own will, and combining with the Vongola Sky Ring, unleashing a new burst of power that was clearly felt by everyone around them.

"Here it is..." announced Bermuda "Giotto and Cozarto last memory... And last gift..."
With that, everyone was once more witnessing the Primo of both Famiglia.
The memory took over directly at the end of the previous one, just after the Vindice had appeared to announce that they would be the one to hold their descendants to their pact.
And imprison them forever should they ever fight.

Of course, both Giotto and Cozarto protested, saying that this had nothing with the mafia laws – but Bermuda didn't relent.
For, he said, any keeper of the pacifier's destiny was linked to that of the Vongola ring bearer – and that; of course, included Giotto's descendant.

Finally, understanding that the Vindice wouldn't change their mind, Giotto finally stipulated that should their descendants ever fight, they would learn the shared past of both Famiglia after each fight. And should they still persist on fighting after all memories were revealed – then the Vindice would be free from do whatever they wanted with them.
But shall their descendants decide to rekindle their friendship after witnessing their common past, shall they prove beyond a doubt that Giotto's and Cozarto's oath still held true – then, their will would combine as one, and their Flames would burn together.

And indeed, those Flames – Flames born from the Earth and Sky union – they burned so brightly, that all could feel it; all could feel these Flames happiness at finally being called, after having waiting for the right people to call them for an eternity...

"Even in death you're still messing with me! Giotto! Cozarto!" Daemon Spade screamed, rushing toward Tsuna, intent on finishing him once and for all
But in spite of the gash that had rendered him nearly powerless but seconds before, Tsuna evaded, under the illusionist's stunned and disbelieving stare.
"He's manipulating gravity to both reinforce his whole body and prevent blood from gushing out." Reborn guessed
"He used his Sky Flames harmonization quality to take on Enma's Flames." Kazami completed with a nod

The next instant, it was Tsuna that was rushing toward the illusionist – seemingly faster than he should be able to...
"He's using a gravitational pull to draw Daemon to himself." Gokudera analyzed
And between the gravity and Tsuna's Bursting Star, the ghost was pummeled to the ground, illusionary body flickering in and out of existence until he was once more but a shade of himself...
