"Tch..!"
Tsuna pulls himself back after the first elbow attack to Daemon.
"What's the matter? Don't you hate me? You should take your rage out on me."
"..."
"An enemies must be completely crushed." The mist guardian narrowed his eyes, together with a sly smirk. "..And that is what a real mafia boss of Vongola family should be."
"You are wrong!!"
Tsuna turn to his friend. "Gokudera-kun?"
"That is not what Juudaime would do! He's generous enough to accept both friend and foe! And that's why we will always follow him forever!"
"Hmm.. I shall have shed the soft nature of yours now. Or else I will be forced to eliminate you."
"Wha-"
"...As I did to Primo back then!"
"...!"
-----------------------------
G glances again to the old building. "...Che! Are you sure about staying out of this? Hey, Primo!"
"...."
(Giotto's flashback)
Primo lift his head from all the dead bodies on the floor and to his mist guardian who was laying against the wall with his injuries.
"Why.. Daemon? Why would you do this?"
"Hmph. Why do you ask? You should already know the answer. Aren't you glad that there is no more disturbance in your life?"
"Daemon! You have gone beyond your duty as a guardian!"
"G.. don't you agree with me? This is also the justice for that person.."
"...! You..!"
"You should know.. what is my plans and true desires for all of this.. Primo.."
"...."
"Primo, you don't need to be upset about what happened." G breaks his thoughts.
"He was going to a different goal from the very beginning." Knuckle added.
"But Daemon is one of my guardians.."
"...Primo.."
Giotto flip open his pocket watch. "Daemon's time may also have stopped back then, just like this watch."
--------------------------------
Tsuna grip on Daemon's punch.
"...!"
"Like what you did to Primo..? What do you mean..?"
"Hmm.. people may think that the Secondo is the one who took over Primo to make him step down and went to Japan, but the truth is, I'm the one who took him down!"
"What- UAHH!!"
"Juudaime!"
"Ugh... operation-X..!"
"Hmph." The illusion of Gokudera fires the real Gokudera, sending him to fly in between of Tsuna and Daemon, prevents him from releasing X-burner.
"Argh!!"
"Oh no..! I can't shoot!"
"That is why I said, you are too soft!" Daemon's palm glows. "X-burner!"
'Damn..! What should I-'
At the same second, he hears a woman voice whispering in his ears.
"Decimo-sama.. use Deathperation Point Zero power."
"...!"
He puts his hands together and release the ice to Daemon's flame.
'That voice just now is..'
Daemon gasped". ...This is.. Primo's..! You.. you possess so much power, yet you reject the idea of ruling by strength. Why? You are just like Primo..!"
"Strength is not everything, Daemon-sama."
"....!"
Daemon look from his shoulder to search for the familiar voice.
'....My imagination..?'
"UWAHHHH!!!"
"Huh..? That voice is.."
Skull and Hibari appears out of nowhere and breaks into the dimension with Roll's attack, then the walls fades one by one followed by Yamamoto, Lambo, and Ryohei who enters into Tsuna and Gokudera's illusion space.
"Hmm.. I didn't know that my illusion will be broken like this.."
Tsuna and the others look around to the real place they were standing at; movie theater room. "We are back in the real dimension!"
"Now everyone's here, together with the girls."
"Reborn..!"
Kyoko blink innocently to the guys who suddenly appeared at the place. "Huh? Tsuna-kun? Onii-chan?"
"Oooh Kyoko! Are you alright?"
"Uhn! Thanks to Chrome-chan and Uni-chan for helping us."
"Yeah. You did a good job leading us to the trap Uni."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Daemon sigh to their reunion. "Now, now, I don't plan for this to happen."
"Che!" Gokudera lifts up his Flame Arrow. "You have lost the battle, Daemon! Now pass on your inheritance!"
"Hmm.. looks like I have underestimate all of you. Now it's time for me to get serious.."
"What?"
"What does he intend to do??"
Dark mist combined together in Daemon's hand and it forms a brown scepter. "Though this isn't how I prefer to operate.." He swings his weapon. "Vongola Decimo! You and I shall engage in direct combat!"
"Why are you so persistent? Do you still want to fight?"
"...This is for the Vongola family!"
He jump from the stage and thrust his scepter to Tsuna; which he dodge it quickly from being stab through. "I have devoted my life as a guardian for two generations!"
"Ugh!" Tsuna dodge another attack with his hand.
"Damn..! That bastard!"
"Daemon had served Primo and also the Secondo in the records." Reborn stated as he look up the information in his Vongola book.
"What..? Then he is the one who left behind until Secondo's time?"
"Yeah. He must have been incredibly dedicated to the Vongola. There's also stated that he did this for someone."
"Someone..? Who is it for, Reborn-san?"
"From what I read in the secret documents of Vongola.. it is for the right hand woman of the first, Ceres Aria."
"...! The first had a right hand woman too?"
"Yes. During that time, something had happened which turns him to be like this. Then, he expands his influence to the family, in order to get stronger and serve justice. But unfortunately, he took it in a wrong way."
"Tsuna-kun.."
"Tsuna-san! Hang in there!"
"Sawada! Let him have it!"
"Tsuna! Why aren't you fighting back?"
"Juudaime! Let me back you up!"
"Wait."
"But.. Reborn-san!"
"This is your boss's fight. Just shut up and support him."
"Tch.. Juudaime.."
Tsuna pulls himself away from another blow.
"Stop this.. it's pointless to fight."
"I cannot allow the Vongola to fall apart due to the foolish thoughts. If it fall on your soft heart, you wont have the strength to protect those you cherish like you wanted!"
"...."
'The person that I cherish..'
"Juudaime-sama..!" Your voiced echoed in his mind.
"I'll prove it to you!" Tsuna charge forward.
"...!" Daemon gasp when Tsuna manage to catch his scepter in his hand.
"..That this is not how I choose to protect those I cherish! I understand how deeply you care about the Vongola. But my feeling wont change!" He clutch on the scepter tightly and it disappear in thin air.
"Hmm.. for the person you cherish huh..? Is it the Riekka girl if I'm not mistaken..?"
"...!"
Daemon releases his illusion and surrounds Tsuna in a dark dimension.
"This is..! Another dimension??"
Tsuna automatically turns to Daemon's figure that appears and disappears one after another. He tries to unleash his X-burner, but failed due to Daemon's illusions that disturbed his attention.
"Before you could even protect your dear girl, how about saving the one that is in danger now?"
"Tch..! X-burner!"
"Hmph."
Daemon undo his illusion and fade away as Tsuna unleashes his flame, right in front of where the girls; Kyoko, Haru, Chrome and I-pin was sitting at.
"...! No-"
At the same second, Mukuro appears and repel the flame with his trident.
"That is.. Mukuro..!!"
