Well, at least they got back before the "finale" started.

So Byakuran is playing a game and all these ‘alternate worlds’ that he conquered are all part of his game that he possibly invented in the real world?

Lmao. I bet the mistress is this flame-game’s version of Dorea. Or maybe even a version of one of her guardians.

This was a wonderful read! I’m still going through your “Black Sky” at the moment (and I’ll go and comment on each arc once I’ve finished the whole thing and started rereading), and I’ve enjoyed the whole thing so far. I especially love the way you have this Tsunayoshi actually thinking things through about the time travel situation, his Guardian Bonds and who he is as a person. Thanks for sharing this with all of us

Tsuna is one very harried individual :)

Interesting, I really like that you have Byakuran's perspective at the end of the chapters. It really establish his character. And after seeing I really want to see someone ask him one question: What is the definition of insanity?
Considering the timeline you established, you stated in chapter 15 of Black Sky that you have a two year old Tsuna to an eleven year old Dorea and that he turned fourteen before the Sky Battle.
Now I am assuming that Tsuna turned two in 1991, so by that logic it is currently the year 2003 in the present. That means this side-story takes place around November 2013, nearly a year after Far Cry 3 initial release date. I am sure that at least one version of Byakuran played it to at least know Vaas's most memorable quote. Of course with the only problem is that Tsuna never heard it but he does have his Vongola Hyper Intuition to know to ask it.
Anyway great work.

Loved the side story, it added some much needed character development for squeaky toy.
Great work.

I love this so much! :D Seeing Tsuna's side of things is both hilarious and informative!

*maniacal laughter*

Wow I am cackling a lot reading this. I'm so glad we got another side-story to Black Sky, and got to see Tsuna-tachi's side of the miserable chaos. I'm so proud of all of them.

I know i/exactly/i where "this" run of the apocalyptic scenario went awry for Byakuran, too. (Other than being stuck in it at all.)
Viola-san is terrifying for a reason, and if I'm right they semi-accidentally took out one of her brothers. I'm not at all surprised that even in the messed-up sim she ended up utterly decimating whatever Millefiore she got to face so freely, unencumbered any longer by the need for stealth tactics. Like Squalo said, she takes way too much after her mother with some of her father's talents.

I am so very very proud of the babies, all of them, and maybe they'll need to consider a relocation that takes into account more people than initially planned for. They don't have to be the constantly-violent part of the mafia, after all. The girls learned to kick ass and escape properly, Lambo is far better off in all ways, the boys have their heads on straighter (for the most part). Tsuna earned some serious cred with everyone who'll remember it all, Gokudera may actually be capable of becoming a useful human being, Takeshi knows his real friends don't mind the intensity when it helps keep him safer from Misty Maliciousness (and other kinds of maliciousness). Chrome is awesome, Haru and Hana kicked butt, Kyoya has reconsidered Tsuna's status in the hierarchies...
As awful as it was for them, in some ways it was really great too.

Damn, I love it! You truly made a unique version of the future arc and you gave some characters more chance to shine and grow like Hana, Lambo, Haru and Chrome. The girls aren't weak damselles in distress, but woman ready to fight for their friends. I am really happy with their growth!
Still, I am curious about the dynamic between Viola and Kyouya, I could totally see Cassie meeting him and deciding that she will marry him when she is of age. With Xanxus and the Varia not knowing how they should react, but the Varia still laugh because of course Xanxus's daughter likes violent guys with issues...

*maniacal laughter*

It /is/ all very video-game-ish, and doesn't that just give a whole new spin on the entire arc?
Byakuran is getting bitch-slapped soon enough, and poor Sho-chan serious therapy for all the miserable side-effects (and probably smacked at least once first). In the Real World, though I can't decide by whom. First. XD

*maniacal laughter*
I was all set to praise how brilliantly (as always) everything was set up and Tsuna-tachi's handling of things, and then I hit Byakuran's closing section.

Major kudos, working a pseudo zombie-apocalypse into Byakuran's highly destructive anti-Flame one. It fits with what we know of who is actually around in this Tsuna-tachi's time to run things and react accordingly, but no one actually involved in the scenario has any idea and it's delightful.
