Tsuna was breathing heavily. His lungs are on fire. His breath was ragged and slow, and most of all, he was exhausted. He should have brought Hibari or Mukuro with him. His losing, losing badly.

One of the man in front of him cackled an evil laugh, "Give it up, Decimo! Can't you see that you're already losing? Your Guardians will have it more light than your punishment! Don't worry and just give up!"

Tsuna just grinned at them, and the man was taken aback. "Unfortunately, the word 'give up' is not on my vocabulary.

Tsuna then thought bitterly, 'Aww, is it my time already? Where's Reborn when you need him?'

At this time, Tsuna's sure that Reborn and the other Arcobalenos made it out alive. They need to guard Uni with their life. Uni is their boss, after all.

"Oh, come on, already Decimo. Resistance is futile. Just concede your defeat, let us kill you, destroy Vongola and that's it." One of them shouted at him, completely mocking him, though its not really effective at Decimo.

"Heh, that'll never happen." Is his only reply, making them attack him again, not holding back anymore.

FLASHBACK<<<<<

Tsuna made it to his destination, flying fast, his mind forming different tactics, yet, his heart calm.

When he finally landed, he willed himself to withdrew from his current state. His previous orange-sunset eyes returned to their normal caramel-brown, accepting eyes.

He scanned his surroundings, thanking that he has the Vongola Intuition.

He calmed his tired breath, noting that flying fast using his powers is never a good idea.

Relaxing himself, he thought of his Guardians, knowing that each and everyone of them is engaged in their own battles.

Suddenly, his intuition acted up, and he dodged a bullet swiftly.

"Oh yeah, Vongola's Intuition. I should have known that shooting that bullet is useless against Vongola Decimo." A voice said, and his voice ended up echoing in the whole room.

Tsuna quickly reacted, reaching for his bottle of medicine, popping one to his mouth, and switched to his Hyper Dying Will Mode.

"Show yourself. I have no intention of talking to thin air, nor attacking it." Tsuna announced at his calm, serious voice.

"Ah, Decimo. Be patient. We're going there. But save the fun things later. I want us to have a chat. You know, so we can get to know each other." The voice said again.

"And, oh Decimo. You could go back to your normal mode, you know? I promise that I won't attack you." The voice offered.

"Hm, no thanks. I'm more comfortable in this state. Thank you for offering." Tsuna replied at him, sitting on the cold, hard floor.

"If you say so~ Now, let's start, shall we?" The voice asked in a sing-song voice.

"Do the pleasure."

"Decimo, Decimo. What's your favorite food?"

"Do you seriously intend to start a conversation using questions like that?"

"Hahaha, of course not, Decimo. That was supposed to be a joke."

"Then I must say, its not funny in any way possible."

The voice said in an offended-hurt tone, "That was mean, Decimo."

"So? What is it that you want to talk about?" Tsuna asked in a kinda bored tone.

"Ah, yes, about that. Do you, Decimo knows our goal for all of this?"

That perked Tsuna's attention. "What is it? Is it our powers? The Three Sets? Control the world?"

The voice chuckled, "Wrong Decimo. None of those reasons. Not even close."

"Then why are you attacking us? What is it that you wanted so badly that you have come this far?"

"We want to have you, Decimo. Leave with us, and we will seek the future. The man kind to evolve. To us to find out the limits of a mere human. To find out if there is such thing like the limits of man kind." The voice said again, this time, completely serious.

"Hah, that's a unique thinking you've got there." Tsuna replied and smirked.

"So, Decimo, what do you think? Do you want to lend us a hand?" The voice offered.

Silence ruled the two of them for a moment as Tsuna contemplated for his reply.

"Depends. Let me ask you something. What is it that you need to complete this goal of yours? What is it that you need to sacrifice?" Tsuna asked again.

"Figures. The things that we need Decimo is simple, yet, precious. You see, that's why we need you. you can take these things into your hands, easily. And, with the power you have over Vongola and the world, then we could finish in no time."

"I'm just asking about the items. Nothing more." Tsuna replied to the voice.

"Okay then, Decimo. We need your flames, one of the purest sky flames. We also need Bermuda and his Flames of Night. Probably the greatest hitman, too. As far as I know, he's one of the people out there that has yet to see their limits. You know who I'm talking about." The voice explained.

"Your actually foolish to even imagine that I will accept such offer. You think that I'm gonna sell my comrades? Bermuda and Reborn? Dream on then. And oh, for your information, we knew everything from the start." Tsuna retorted at the voice coldy.

The voice then chuckled again without humor and continued, "Well, at least its worth a shot. That's your choice, Decimo, remember that. Don't say that I didn't give you a choice."

Then, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of unknown people with masks and weapons, coming form different directions.

"Say, who's the boss here? Who owns that voice? And is your boss really here?" Tsuna bombarded them with questions.

"Quiet, Decimo. We have no intention of answering any of your questions. Seeing that it would be useless anyway, now that your about to die." One of the man shouted back at him.

Tsuna smirked at him, his sadistic side taking over already. "Not if I defeat you first, in that matter."

One of the man in front of him is clearly annoyed by his cockiness and yelled at him before attacking, "Bastard!"

FLASHBACK ENDS-----

And well, that's why he ended up like this.

Yes, for a couple of minutes he can still stand his ground, but with the number of his enemies increasing and him growing tired? The chances of him winning decreased until its not existing at all.

When he received a punch on his gut, with addition to the person's storm flame, he started to cough out blood.

The person smirked at him, satisfied at the sight of him vomiting his own blood. "Soon, Decimo, you'll be lying at the pool f your own blood. Also, we can still have your flames. We can do something about it. We will help our boss get to his dreams! To the world he wants!"

Tsuna just smirked at him, feeling himself leaving his HDWM already. He's just too tired to even sustain that mode. "Heh? You guys are amazing. Huh, so loyal."

The man elbowed him at his head, making him a little light headed. "Thank you for the compliment, Decimo. Now, say goodbye to the world and hello to the heaven." The man pointed a gun at him.

Suddenly, he heard running footsteps and the man in front of him is already out cold.

He saw two shadows looming over him and he looked up. He smiled genuinely at them.

"Dame-Tsuna/Tsunayoshi" The two figures said at the same time.

Tsuna chuckled at that. "Thanks, Reborn, Hibari-san." He replied just as he was suddenly enveloped by darkness.

The two of them suddenly looked at him in concern. And caught him as he fainted. "Dame-Tsuna/Tshunayoshi, you over exerted yourself." The two started again, speaking at the same time again.

Hearing it, Tsuna laughed at his mind. 'I know I can count at the two of you.'
