Chapter 33: Secrets revealed

"W-What is the meaning of this?" Nana asked and Iemitsu's eyes widened.

"What is she doing here?!" He exclaimed.

"Wouldn't it be more fun?" Zero chuckled and was enjoying himself with their terrified and helpless expressions.

"Dont mess with me!" Iemitsu scowled and tried to step into the circle of flames only to be pushed back.

"Anata!" Nana cried.

"You're playing dirty... taking them as hostage, Zero." Nayoshi snarled and Zero laughed.

"Me? Taking hostage? Thats the oldest trick in the book! And thats quite boring and cowardly, I care about my image too you know?" Zero smirked.

"Im having a little bit of fun first."

Some of them lost their patience and just flew into the ring of fire and started attacking Zero.

"Scum, just die already!" Xanxus took out his gun and aimed to hit Zero with his Flames of Wrath.

But it was blocked with a Sky shield mixed wifh Mist flames.

"Im glad I took over this body.. His flames and build is quite well to react with." Zero smiled contently.

"What are you intending to do with this?" Nono asked while Zero was dodging Bel's knives.

"Hmm.. I wonder." Zero grinned cockily and punched Bel on the abdomen.

Bel coughed out some blood and wiped it off his mouth, "Ushishishi... He's tough."

"Where's the arcobaleno?" Zero asked and dodged a sword making its way to him.

"VOIII!! Focus your attention on the enemies in front of you!!!" Squalo yelled, clearly annoyed.

"You're not the only one annoyed Squalo... Who wouldn't be annoyed with a bunch of mosquitos flying everywhere?" Zero frowned and fisted his hand on the ground which made some sky flames mixed with night flames go toward Varia.

Levi was about to block it but he was caught up too.

They all fainted due to the large amount of damage and Lussuria rushed over to them because he wasn't caught.

"Xanxus!" Timoteo exclaimed, worried for his son.

Zero who saw this made a dart out of mist flames and inserted Night Flames in it. He aimed for Lussuria's pressure point and then Lussuria lost consciousness too.

"H-He beat Varia in two shots?!"

"This fight is getting boring...." Zero yawned.

"I'll make it interesting then..." He smirked and went toward Nana who was backing up.

"Y-You aren't my Tsu-kun..."

"I already said that before didn't I?"

He grabbed Nana by the wrist which made Nana wince through the hard grip and Iemitsu raged.

"What are you doing to my wife?!" He yelled and charged towards them.

"Then what are you about to do to me... Fratello?"

'Fratello...'

'Fratello..'

The word itself kept ringing in Iemitsu's mind as he froze.

"Anata!" Nana shouted which made him snap away from his thoughts.

"What are you saying?! Let go off Nana, she isn't involved in this!"

"Why of course she is, she was part of the Giglionero Famiglia before you got married wasn't she?" Zero smirked and Nana's eyes widened.

"H-How?"

"Simple, Tsuna himself is a hacker at a young age so he easily found out." Zero chuckled and Nana's face turned into a horrified expression.

'My own son knew I was lying to him..? More importantly... Tsu-kun was already part of the mafia before..?'

"Ah, such lovely facial expressions!" Zero let go off Nana and Nana helplessly fell on the floor; still at her shock.

That warm expression on her face is now long gone.

"Its your turn... Fratello..." Zero trailed off and Iemitsu glared.

"What are you saying? Im an only child.. And there is no way I'm related to some evil spirit..."

"There is a way now!" Zero cheered but then his face turned serious and he then appeared in front of Iemitsu with a sharp knife made out of mist flames, pointed at Iemitsu's neck.

"Do you know how much I longed for this to happen?"

"Master!" Basil tried to run towards them but was pushed away by a large amount of Night Flames.

"Stay away from this!!" Zero roared in fury.

"After mother had killed me, I've been living as a broken soul looking for a place to stay in.. And after I saw how well you were doing.. I wanted to kill you!" Zero pressed the knife more onto Iemitsu's throat.

"Kill you... For everything you, mother and father had done to me! For not accepting me! For hating me without a valid reason!"

Iemitsu's eyes widen in realization, "S-Sangue?!"

"To be named after blood... I really am special aren't I?" Zero half-heartedly chuckled and backed away from Iemitsu.

"Everytime I face you though... I cant... I just cant..." He started trembling.

"Now's the chance." Reborn appeared.

"Chaos." He smirked and all the infants jumped into the ring of fire and attacking Zero who was zoning out at the current situation.

But he regained focus after that.

Zero appeared in front of Mammon and removed her pacifier away from her neck.

"I know your weaknesses..." Zero states darkly. And Mammon fell onto the ground.

"Tch, charge at him before he comes after ours too!" Lal ordered.

"No one orders me around.." Reborn clicked his tongue.

"Chaos shot!"

The bullets aimed for Zero and soon Colonello collaborated his Rain flames with Reborn's flames too.

*BOOGSH!*

A large explosion was heard and while they were at it, Bianchi grabbed Nana and the kids and jumped out of the ring, going to safety.

Zero who knew this, ignored it because he only thought of them as a nuisance.

Iemitsu who was still at shock behind him was kicked away from the ring by Zero and he proceeded with the fight again.

Now the arcobaleno planned attacking at the same time and when they started it, Aria came in and cast her Sky Flames with it to make the attack stronger.

Aria gave Zero an apologetic look before they all launched the attack before him.

Large explosions were heard and the fire died down and everyone outside the ring flew back.

"S-so strong!"

"Juudaime! Iesamu-sama!"

The smoke cleared out and Zero was still standing with a dark grin on his face.

Nayoshi --who had a horrified expression on -- went to his guardians aid.

'How strong is he?! Do we even have a chance of beating him?!'

Zero cast his night flames toward the Arcobaleno nad made small portals which sucked the pacifiers away from them.

'Im sorry I wasn't much of help... Tsuna..' Aria thought before fainting and Gamma caught her with an angered look.

'This is crazy! How can they...'

Timoteo with his guardians launched an attack in synchronized motion which Made Zero alert.

You know how anyone could attack.

Timoteo launched his staff (Is it a staff?) towards Zero and aimed for his head but Zero dodged it a little bit late so it ended up hitting his neck.

"Tsk." Zero clicked his tongue, just then, Hibari charged in.

He couldn't be held in one place.

Attacking with his tonfas and cloud flames in a fast motion, Zero had no option but to fly up due to many things he had to dodge.

Nono flew up too and shot sky flames towards him but Zero evaded it yet little Sky Ball flames were actually there which blew him off to the side.

'Ah... Something isn't right here...' Zero thought.

He checked on the pacifiers he had in  the portal...

They weren't there.

"Do you really think that lowly of us?" A menacing voice behind Zero rang and he saw all the Arcobalenos flying toward him.

'Shit. It was all an illusion..'

Hibari clicked his tongue since they were having an aerial battle.

Ryohei and Nayoshi went over to Varia dragging them to a safer place.

Iesamu -with the help of Takeshi and Hayato- dragged Iemitsu to the safety zone too.

Loud explosions were happening on air.

"What are we going to do now?"

"Decimo~" A voice called out behind  which surprised Nayoshi and the others.

"Im Kozato Enma remember? I've come to help!" He smiled.

"Wah~ I wanna join in too..." Enma sang.

"Don't. Not yet atleast. I have a plan..." Nayoshi whispered and they all discussed it.

~||||||~~~

"You're losing." Tsuna chuckled and lied down on the grassy ground.

"Tsk, they haven't seen the real me..." Zero rolled his eyes and Tsuna smiled at him.

"Yeah, but you haven't seen the real them either."

~|||||~~~

'That brat, I'll show him.' Zero thought and suddenly, his eyes turned completely black.

Timoteo's eyes widened, "Everyone, stay back!"

They flew away from him and Zero smirked.

Casting both his arms at each side he fisted his hands and clasped them together and suddenly, thunder went down and hit him.

Night, Mist, and Sky Flames became like arrows and were shot down, aimed at everyone.

Everyone was caught injured and Zero smirked.

"Now's the chance!" Nayoshi yelled which confused Zero.

Enma put his hands on the ground and the ground suddenly went up and caught Zero then trapped him.

Zero started struggling into breaking free and the trap was slowly breaking.

Byakuran appeared and with his flames, he made a clap right in front of Zero's face which alarmed Zero's nerves and he froze.

Nayoshi, Iesamu and Iemitsu ran toward him and took out guns.

Zero's eyes widened.

"Its the end.." Zero muttered.

'No... No... It cant be!'

"In the end we'll be killed by our own brothers won't we?" Tsuna's voice rang in his mind.

"Unacceptable.. No... After everything..!"

"I told you Zero, They'd end up beating you...."

Nayoshi and Iesamu shut their eyes tight and they pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*

'It was too late...' Zero was about to make a sky barrier but he was too late to make it.

As the ground went back to its original place, Zero fell onto the ground and blood was all over.

He was shot On the forehead, his abdomen and chest.

Tsuna regained his body and smiled weakly at everyone.

"Great job minna... I hope... Y-You.. Start... Y-Your New Lives.."
