"It' hard to explain but, I guess, you can call it my home."Hunt explained.
"Oh, so that's where you live in. But who was that blonde anyway?"Jay stated.
"Oh him? He's a friend. And if you're wondering about the men in black, they're body guards."Hunt explained.
"How did you manage to have that kind of fortune?"Lea asked.
"I know! You have a rich girlfriend!"Jay exclaimed.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend. I earn it all with my job."Hunt explained.
"And what is this job of yours? I hope it's not something evil."Lea inquired.
"Well, if you look at it the wrong way, you may think it's bad. Okay, make a guess. I am a man who holds gun and protects an important person."Hunt stated.
"That would be, obviously, a bodyguard."Jay answered.
"Sorta like that, but it's actually more complicated than that. You see, I am what they call a guardian; I help the person, guide him/her, protect and supervise him/her. That's pretty much it. Think about it as something like a mafia game, one boss and six trusted subordinates and the rest are just henchmen."Hunt explained.
"Okay, I get it now. My next question is: are you really in the mafia?"Jay asked.
"What? What are you talking about? I just used it as an explanation."Hunt defended.
"Well, I went down a store and I heard people talking about someone, and that seemed to be you. A man filled me in with info; he told me that a very dangerous man has been lurking out from the shadows and showed me a picture, of you. So now, are you or are you not in the mafia?"Jay asked curiously.
"Okay, if you're so bothered with a simple rumor. If I told you yes, would you believe me? And if you do, would you believe me if I told you? If I were in the mafia, would you doubt it? If I weren't, would you want to prove it?"Hunt asked a lot of questions.
"I wanted to prove it, that's why I am asking you. If you tell me that you are in the mafia, then I would want to prove it. If you tell me that you aren't, I could doubt. And I could hate you for your answer."Jay replied.
"Yes, I am in the mafia. But no, I am not a bad person."Hunt stated.
"Then what's your purpose for joining the mafia?"Lea asked.
"It's quite simple actually. I see a lot of people getting slaughtered by the mafia, you two aren't witnesses. I also had been targeted by the mafia, and I feared one thing at that moment. It would be because I won't be able to protect those whom I love; revenge isn't in my vocabulary anymore."Hunt explained.
"There's no such mafia that would help people."Lea said.
"This particular mafia I joined in has a different purpose for existing. It exist to help people from harm, and if possible, from every other problems."Hunt stated.
"How could we be so sure of that?"Jay asked.
"If it weren't for that particular purpose, I wouldn't have joined it in the first place."Hunt replied.
They gazed at each other with a serious glare, Lea just stood there. She never felt this kind of aura, nor did she ever saw Jay like this. After six minutes, Hunt and Jay just smiled, then try to hold it in, but fails and their laughter spread across the whole room. Lea just watched, but decided to join as well.
"Alright then, I believe you."Jay said.
"I knew you would eventually will. Keeping it a secret wasn't an option. Just promise me that you wouldn't tell anyone, not a single person, okay?"Hunt stated.
They both nodded and Hunt just smiled. But the smile faded when he felt something unusual, a foreign presence and then, an explosion.
-Vongola HQ-
"I am going to give you test which is quite simple actually. All you have to do is find your boss within an hour, if you fail to do so, the deal is off."Vero said.
Everyone nodded and Vero signaled to Gian. Apparently, he was a flash bang and he threw it at Sole's men. The three of them hurriedly went to the backyard and stayed put.
"Hope that they don't make a mess or Hunt will literately kill them all, including us. And he won't hesitate to do so."Vero said and then chuckled.
The three just hoped for the best while they waited for results. Unknown to them, there is something else waiting to happen inside.
-Inside HQ-
"Some routes are blocked; do you think they went through one of them?'One of the men said.
"No way, this must be a clue of some sort. We will go to the only route available."Another one said.
"He was right; it wasn't as hard as we thought."Another one added.
"Oh you're wrong with that one, boy."A mysterious voice said.
-Back with Hunt-
It was hard to breathe and the smoke blocks their view. Hunt is trained with these times and is sure about what happens next, which is an attack.
"Everyone, go back. Away from the hole in the wall."Hunt ordered.
Just then, an overhead slash was about to hit Hunt, but he easily dodged this. With the combination of the powerful overhead swing and Hunt's evasion, the smoke cleared in no time.
"Huh, I missed. And I thought my axe was slowing me down."The attacker mumbled.
Hunt immediately realizes what that guy meant. He was the guy who tried to kill him with an axe. Hunt was experienced in fighting with bladed enemies and he learned an important thing, he's no match with just a handcuff.
"Hey, you got any weapon there?"Hunt asked Jay.
"This is the only weapon available."Jay replied as he threw a pair of tonfas.
"First a handcuff, now a pair of tonfas. Great, just great!"Hunt complained.
But he must put that aside and focus on beating that guy. With two metal tonfas, he could block incoming attacks. Hunt charged right at the armed man and likewise. Metals clashed together as Hunt tries to defeat the man. The bout took long enough for Hunt to realize that this man was able to use flames and he was using it all along.
"Invisible flames? I should have seen that coming!"Hunt said.
"If you saw right through it, it wouldn't be so invisible now, would it?"Jay said.
Hunt just shrugged off the side-comment and continued focusing on defeating the swordsman. He quickly reached inside his pocket and pulls out a ring and used it to level the playing field. But it seemed that he was still no match due to the big guy's stamina. Hunt went on to his last resort: if I couldn't unarm him, then I should dismantle him. Hunt was serious about this, if couldn't disarm the man, he might as well break the arms. After a few moments, he eventually did. Focusing much of his energy to his right tonfa, he waited for the perfect moment for him to strike and when he did, more than four fingers were heard cracking and the man himself was shrieking with pain. Hunt was panting; it was a fight he couldn't win easily. He also realizes that he inputted too much energy at the right tonfa, he shattered it. He also timed it perfectly that the man's bones, from the fingers up to his right shoulder were fractured. But it also had an effect with Hunt, his right arm became numb and his shoulders were strained.
"Now *pants*tell me*pants*your plans."Hunt ordered.
"Y-You wouldn't get the t-truth from me!"The man exclaimed.
This was a very unfortunate day for him; his whole right side was fractured in a flash. And what could be even worse than that? Well, Hunt's mood was from Sunny to Cloudy and then, a Storm ensues. And luckily for Hunt, he knew pressure points and has read: 'Torturing for Dummies' by accident when he was searching in the HQ's library.
"Oh don't you worry; I'll squeeze it out from you."Hunt smiled his infamous sadistic smile.
Not a minute has passed by and:
"Alright! Alright! I'll tell you! Please! Just sto-oo-op!"The man begged.
"Good grief, I knew this would happen."Jay said.
"Why is that? Have you experienced it?"Lea asked.
"I'm lucky that I wasn't a target. People who either teases me, mom, or him, especially him. They will get brought to death."Jay explained.
"Alright, that's all I need to know. If you make another mess, I'll be there to bring you to your death!"Hunt exclaimed.
"I told ya. Never get on his bad side and you'll be safe."Jay explained.
"Whoa, that's so scary. You're very lucky to manage, huh."Lea stated.
Jay just nodded at her and smiled and she smiled back.
"Hey, can I borrow this? I'm quite defenseless."Hunt said.
"Sure, it's yours. I'm quite tired with tonfas anyways."Jay said.
Hunt just continued to his car and started it.
-Vongola Backyard-
"They're sure taking so long."Sole complained.
"Well, if the alliance isn't important to them-"Gian was cut interrupted when he saw Sole's men.
"Took you too long, but enough time to make it."Vero said.
"Wait Vero, they look…so strange."Gian stated.
Sole's men then started attacking them.
"H-Hey! What's wrong with you?"Sole exclaimed.
"I don't think they understand you."Vero stated.
Sole stopped dodging the attacks and started attacking his own men.
"I've been holding my anger for awhile now. I'm going to dish it all out on you!"Sole rampaged.
Vero and Gian just stood there and watch as Sole beat his own men.
"Uh, Boss? If we make a mess, will you do the same?"Gian asked.
"Um, I don't think I'm the one who's gonna do that."Vero replied.
"Then who is?"Gian asked.
Just as he asked this, one of Sole's men tried to attack Vero. But, a metal tonfa clashed with his cheek.
"Him."Vero and Gian said in unison.
"What are you two talking about? On second thought, never mind."Hunt stated.
Sole appears to be exhausted from beating his own men.
"Man*pant*I never thought they were strong."Sole exclaimed.
Just then, the side of the Vongola Base exploded. And out came a suspicious looking man.
"And I thought you were all able to defeat the Vongola."The man exclaimed.
Everyone seemed to be thinking about whom the man is, but there is an exception. Hunt was just thinking about the damage on the Vongola Base.
"I guess I'll take care of this matter myself."The man said.
Author's Note: if you're wondering how the fight will look like, try watching the episode: Open Carnage Box where Kyoya kicks Dino and ensues Cambio Forma.
Hunt was so angry that he kicked one of Sole's henchmen who are lying down on the ground.
"I'll bring you to your death!"Hunt exclaimed as he charged right at him with his tonfa and handcuff.
The enemy opened his sun box weapon and out came a radio-active suit.
"What a useless box weapon."Hunt exclaimed.
The man just grinned and charged right back at him.
"They're fighting really fast."Gian stated.
"As fast as Hunt's car."Vero added.
The enemy opened another box weapon and out came a large slug. Hunt just cuffed it and pulled back.
"Bad move."The enemy stated.
Just then, the slug started glowing. Hunt just followed what his reflexes told it; destroy it, which he did. He smacked it with his tonfa and the problem was solved.
"That's just one of my tricks."The enemy blurted.
Hunt looked at the tonfa and tiny little bugs are crawling all over.
"Hm, maggots."Hunt said as he threw the tonfa.
"You threw your only weapon; and what could you possibly do with a harmless handcuff?"The man taunted.
"Simple, just this", Hunt opened the spikes," And this," Hunt multiplied the handcuffs.
"Hah, you think you can stop me with those? Even with those spikes, you couldn't hurt me when I'm wearing this suit!"The man mocked Hunt.
Hunt just shrugged it off and continued attacking.
"Four handcuffs isn't gonna do any damage."The man taunted again.
"I second that motion."Hunt smiled sadistically again.
The man then noticed eighteen Cloud Rings on his fingers, two from the pinky to the pointer and one on the thumb. They all glowed and suddenly, the handcuffs started multiplying rapidly and covered the man, whole.
"Wha? I can't move!"The man exclaimed.
"Idiot, that's the point. I don't want you to move."Hunt explained. "Let's… tighten a bit, shall we?" He added.
The handcuffs then started shrinking and crushing the enemy.
"Now tell me, which family are you from?"Hunt asked.
"T-The E-Estraneo Famiglia! P-Please! I'm telling the truth!"The man cried.
"I believe you, but do you think that I will spare you?"Hunt said.
Hunt crushed him a little, enough to make his bones crack, but also enough to make him alive.
"Consider that a lesson from the Vongola."Hunt stated.
He then saw the man's sun ring.
"As the leader of The Foundation, I'll confiscate this."Hunt added.
"He's positioning himself without notice."Sole commented.
"Don't worry; I was going to put him in that position anyways."Vero said while smiling.
"Radioso Tredicesimo, I believe this will be of use to you."Hunt said as he threw the sun ring to Sole.
"Hunt, I believe he has another title, along with his Famiglia."Vero corrected.
"Hm, I get the point. Sole, the Vongola Famiglia will be delighted to have your Famiglia as an ally."Hunt stated.
Sole was overjoyed to hear this.
"But it's my turn to give a test to you."Hunt added.
"What is it?"The three of them said in unison.
"Fix my domain, or else."Hunt stated.
"Hey, what happened here?"Rune exclaimed.
"Get down from there and help out!"Gian exclaimed.
Hunt just continued inside and wondered.
"The sun that fights adversities with his own body just to save his Family. But in this case, he fought his own Family to save Vongola. But still, he is perfect for that position; I hope Vero got that as well."Hunt thought to himself.
Hunt proceeded to the library and searched through the books, again. But this time, he knows where to start.
"Ah, here it is."Hunt said as he pulls out a book.
He opened it and searched what he needed.
"The Estraneo Famiglia, still alive eh?"Hunt stated.
