Tsuna resurfaced from the water and shook his head, "God, just what the hell's with those crazy slopes?! And just how far did I drop?!"

The radio crackled and a voice that Tsuna missed oh so much spoke through it, "Tsuna? Are you there?"

"Hayato?!" Tsuna pulled up radio, clutching it close, "Hayato!"

Hayato chuckled tiredly, "Hey there, sweetheart. You sound happy to hear me."

"Of course I am!"

"Listen-" Hayato turned serious, "-I don't have much time, I stole the radio from a guard. They're talking about a fire ritual."

Tsuna inhaled sharply, "Hayato, don't let them put you in it! Hayato! That's an ascension ritual! Listen, I'm coming to get you. Try to escape, if you can!"

"I'll try. The force attempting the bond is getting stronger- shit, they're coming, I have to hide the radio!"

Tsuna swallowed thickly and took a deep breath. He squared his shoulders and waded through the water. He had to get to Hayato.

.

"Tsuna?"

"Hayato!"

"What were you saying about an ascension ritual?"

"It's the ritual where the Sun Queen would transfer her powers to her successor. But-"

"Shit! Gotta go!"

Tsuna sighed and flopped to his belly, staring down the mountain. He kicked his feet in the air behind him; he should totally drag out the suffering of those guards, how dare they interrupt his conversation with Hayato!

.

"You still there?"

"Yessssss. Are you sure we wouldn't be interrupted anytime soon?"

"We have around ten minutes before they pass by again. Now, you were saying about the ascension ritual…?"

"I don't like the sound of it. The murals I saw in the monastery I was in implied that the ritual transferred power from the Sun Queen to her successor, but there is the chance that-" Tsuna licked his lips, "-it doesn't transfer just power."

"Alright, I'll try to escape if I get the chance. But… Sun Queen?"

"Himiko. Yamatai."

"Huh. Why would they pick me, or rather Sam, for the ritual?"

"She's a descendant of Himiko. She mentions it in a video recording I found." Tsuna sighed, "I should get moving to get down the mountain."

"Okay. I'll talk to you whenever I can."

Tsuna smiled, "I miss you."

"I miss you, too."

.

Tsuna heard and felt the glass underneath him crack.

Looking up, he spotted a parachute.

"I could have sworn I watched a movie with something like this."

.

Tsuna raised his gun and hesitated, cocking his head to the side in thought. Then he holstered his gun and raised his bow, nocking an arrow.

He looked at the man, the Solarii, attempting to shoot him and gave a nasty smirk.

Tsuna lit his fire on the tip of the arrow and let it fly.

.

"How did you get there so fast?"

"You can say that I took the Waterfall Express."

.

"Move carefully! She's using fire!"

Tsuna cackled as he shot off yet another flaming arrow.

.

Tsuna chuckled lowly, "Don't worry, kittens. Imma come and get you~" Tsuna jumped at the middle of one of the ropes strung between the two platforms, grabbed it and burned it to cut it in half.

Tsuna used the rope to swing into the platform with the attacking Solarii, he landed in front of one of them.

"Hey, there, darling~" Tsuna cooed as he raised his axe.

The Solarii choked, looking bewildered, "Is he- is he flirting with me?!"

"Wrong question, correct pronoun. But it's too late~" Tsuna cackled as he swung his axe, nailing the gaping Solarii in the head.

.

"Alright Grim, we're heading to the palace. There is a high chance we may have to climb to reach there. Are you going with me or are you going to stay somewhere?"

.

"Hey, Roth?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks. I left Grim down by the gate. He said he'll make his way from there towards the beach to look for something to make our escape with."

"He'll probably meet up with Whitman and the others; I sent them down there as well. And Lara?"

"Hmm?"

"What did you do to Whitman and the crew members? They followed my words without complaints."

"My magical touch?"

.

"That bridge is swarming with guards."

"If I can't walk across on top of it, then I'll climb underneath it."

.

Tsuna followed the echoing sound of a man speaking about the Solarii. At the bend in the passageway, he peeked around, and his eyes locked with Hayato's; Hayato was drowsy and slumped against a big wood log, hands bound and mouth gagged.

Tsuna looked meaningfully at Hayato then at the Solarii. Tsuna may be suffering from flame exhaustion but Hayato wasn't.

Tsuna subtly sent a flare of his inner energy towards Hayato, reaffirming the bond between them and energizing Hayato.

Three.

Two.

One.

Tsuna rushed towards the Solarii, one hand had his gun with the silencer attached to it raised, aimed, and shooting down Solarii with disturbing accuracy, the other had his axe with his ice channeled to its edge swinging and catching the Solarii.

Hayato did not remain idle; his flames, red and angry, burst from him in a wave, turning his restraints and the wood surrounding him to nothing, and catching the two Solarii near him. The two Solarii caught in the flames screamed as the flames tore into them, leaving bloody messes behind. Hayato did not hesitate and jumped into the fray as well, his flames still swirling around him like a storm.

Tsuna and Hayato met up in the middle, Hayato's flames opening up enough to let only Tsuna in.

Then the flames burst out in a huge wave, overwhelming the Solarii around.

The two did not waste time in rushing out of the place, leaving ruined ground littered with dead bodies.

.

"Jump?"

"Jump!"

.

"Now we need to go look for the others. Do you know where they were held?"

"No. I was kept separately. But, let's look."

.

"Man, what a mess."

"You didn't see that room piled up with mutilated corpses in one of the monasteries here."

"Shit, this place is nasty."

"No kidding."

"So snarky, Tsuna. Have you been accumulating snark to unload on me?"

"Kind of, yeah. And Hayato?"

"Hmm?"

"I missed you."

"I missed you, too. Now, stop hugging me, we're both drenched in blood and feel disgusting."

"Okay, okay."

"I don't know if I'll ever feel clean again."

.

"You got arrows and now you're lighting them on fire?"

"Teehee."

"Don't 'teehee' me. Have you thought about channeling your ice?"

"Hmmm, no. I'll keep that in mind."

.

Reyes and Alex cheered and applauded while Jonah clapped lightly.

Tsuna looked at Jonah and nodded at him.

"That was badass, Lara, Sam! How the hell did you get in here?"

"I'd like to know the answer to that myself." Hayato looked at Tsuna.

"I had help from Roth."

"Grim?"

Tsuna smiled fondly, "We parted at the gate in the shanty town. I continued here and he went to the beach."

"Oho?" Hayato poked Tsuna in the side, "What's that smile for?"

"Hush, you." Tsuna playfully shoved him, "Roth told me that he already sent Whitman with four others down to the beach as well, so Grim'll be meeting up with them."

"Four others?"

"Yeah, three from the crew and one of the pilots of the rescue plane that crashed. Speaking of rescue planes-" Tsuna frowned slightly, "-there's a rescue chopper heading this way."

"You don't look happy about it." Jonah observed.

"No. Not when there's a chance that it could be brought down by a storm like the first one."

Hayato made a noise in the back of his throat, "How sure are you that a storm would pop up just to take down the rescue chopper?"

"Very. I've seen it happen with the rescue plane. The sky was clear one moment and the next there were storm clouds. After the plane was struck down by lightning, the weather cleared up again." Tsuna searched through his pockets, "Besides, I've found diary pages of other survivors around the island. A couple of them, written by a Mathias, mention how the storms showed up every time survivors attempted to leave the island just to destroy whatever means they made to leave."

"Hold up! Did you say Mathias?"

"Yes."

"That guy is like the leader of the Solarii."

"Oh?" Tsuna's eyes flashed orange, "Where can I find him, do you know?"

Hayato coughed, "He's… kind of dead?"

"What?"

"Remember when you came to get me? He was one of the two standing next to me."

Tsuna seemed to remember exactly what happened to the two who were standing next to Hayato, "Oooooh. Lucky blind throw!" Tsuna smiled brightly.

Reyes, Alex and Jonah stared at the two of them.

Hayato cleared his throat, "Let's get you three out of there."

.

"Hey guys? Brace yourselves, grab onto something and be quick on your feet. This ride is going to get rocky."

.

"Oh great!" Tsuna stared at the gaping chasm.

"Look! Go! We'll catch up!"

"We may have to take the long way around-"

"The very long way around."

"-but we'll catch up! And be careful of riding in the helicopter!"

.

"This brings back memories, huh?"

"The escape from a place before it blows up completely, taking us with it? Yeah, it does."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"Except for the dying, falling men. That's new."

"It's raining men."

"Hallelujah."

.

"Look! I found a grenade launcher!" Hayato waved the aforementioned grenade launcher around enthusiastically.

Tsuna smiled fondly at him, "Oh, you."

.

Hayato watched the Solarii run away after they heard the grenade explode, they were screaming, "She's got a grenade launcher! Run!"

"Tsuna… what did you do to them?"

Tsuna simply smiled angelically.

.

Hayato ducked behind a metallic cover, "Damn. What the fuck?"

"Heh. Glad to have you join us. It was getting lonely with just me and them."

.

"Hey, Tsuna! Get up! C'mon!" Hayato charged his green flame through Tsuna's body.

Tsuna jolted awake, "Okay! You didn't have to use that lightning-like flame!"

"I kind of did."

"Where's Roth?"

"Over there."

Tsuna rushed over to Roth, Hayato behind him.

"Lara, Sam, are you both alr-!" Roth stared at them, "You're not Lara and Sam."

Tsuna coughed, bringing the entirety of Roth's attention on him. Roth's eyes widened as he appeared to remember his previous interactions with Tsuna.

"Who are you and where are Lara and Sam?"

"I'm Tsuna, he's Hayato. As to where Lara and Sam are, I'd like to know that as well."

"Where did you come from?"

"Good question. Another world, believe it or not."

"I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you before I'm having it with Jonah."

"What does Jonah have to do with it?"

"He could see us from the first time I met him."

"You know, Tsuna, maybe we should tell him. Jonah may take it better from Roth rather than us."

"Okay. So, from the beginning. When Hayato and I were seven, a light picked us up and deposited us in another world where people believed that we were both a 'Lara Croft'." At Roth's incredulous look, Tsuna said, "We're not joking. No one was able to see us, Tsuna and Hayato. Everyone treated us as Lara Croft. Twenty some years later, when we were both thirty, the light picked us up again and left us in another world, seven again, and being mistaken for a Lara Croft again. Except that time, some people could see us instead of Lara. And then-"

"The same thing happened. But you became our Lara."

"Not quite," Hayato interjected, "This time around, people seem to think I'm Sam."

"You're taking this well." Tsuna observed.

"Not stranger than some of the things I've heard."

That was when Reyes, Alex and Jonah reached them.

.

"There's a PT boat on the beach. I should be able to fix it up."

"Yes. But." Tsuna raised a hand, "We won't be leaving anytime soon."

"What do you mean by that?!"

"Until we're one hundred percent sure that whatever is controlling the storms is gone and won't hinder our escape, we can't just keep trying to escape." Hayato raked a hand through his hair.

"They're right," Roth said, "This makes it twice now that the storm took down whatever came here to rescue us. First the plane, now the helicopter."

"Does this have to do with what you said back inside?" Jonah stared at Tsuna.

"Yes. There is more, I'll tell you on the way down to the beach."

.

"So you're going to need the boat to go inland?"

"Yes. Whatever is stopping us is there, and I intend to get rid of it."

Tsuna and Reyes had a stare down.

"… … … Alright."

.

"Reyes?"

"Yes, Lara?"

"If you need any help with heavy lifting, the boys can help you." Tsuna gestured towards Whitman and the other crew members.

"Oh?" Reyes looked at the aforementioned four. They looked back at her, then at a smiling Tsuna. They nodded frantically.

"I will help as well," The pilot said.

"And," Hayato interjected, "If you need anything from the ship, just tell us, Lara and I will go get it for you."

"You're being very helpful."

"Well, of course." Tsuna and Hayato nodded, "You are fixing the boat and have agreed to allow us to use it to go inland. It's the least we could do."

"Alex could get me any tools I'd need from the ship."

"Some Solarii could be laying in wait for us there. Or they could be there to get materials for their own use from the ship. It's not safe to send a person alone."

"Since you're volunteering, I do need some tools."

"We'll go right away."

"Before you go." Jonah, who had just returned from a private conversation with Roth, took out a bow he had on his back, "I found this, thought you could use it."

"Thanks, Jonah." Tsuna smiled gratefully at him as Hayato took the bow with sparkling eyes.

.

Hayato stared at the huge, armored Solarii who dropped to the ground, dead at Tsuna's hands.

"Tsuna. You vicious fucker. How the fuck did I not realize earlier how more vicious you would be with an axe in your hands?"

.

"There are the tools!"

"And there are the Solarii laying in wait."

.

"How about we blow the wreckage up?"

"You're the bomb expert."

.

"We're back!"

"Sorry for the delay. We faced a bit of a problem."

"Of the Solarii type."

"And we found something on our way."

Tsuna offered the scientist's journal he and Hayato found in the bunker they passed on their way.

Alex took it and read some of the pages out loud.

"They wanted to find the key to controlling the storms?"

"And there's an answer in a tomb in the cliffs?"

"Let me guess." Reyes crossed her arms, "You two plan to go there?"

"Well, yes. It could shed more light on the matter."

.

"So, did you find anything?"

Hayato waved the small scroll he and Tsuna found, "We've got a corpse to burn."

.

"Look, guys." Tsuna looked at the group consisting of nine people, "You guard the entrance. It won't be just Solarii, but also the stormguard."

"Anything that's not either of us-" Hayato gestured to himself and Tsuna, "-shoot it."

"We got your backs, girls." The nine of them all raised their guns in unison.

.

"These are the stormguard?"

"Yep."

"Maybe we should sneak around? You said last time your flames reacted instinctively to them, you haven't recovered enough for my tastes to go against them."

"Ha. Ya. To."

"It's the truth. Don't do anything to overexert your flames again."

"What if I have to call on either Cal or Mimi? Does that count as overexerting myself?"

"How about we wait and see?"

.

"Boy am I glad that we decided to sneak in instead of barging in."

.

"Shit! They saw us!"

"Run!"

.

"GAH!"

"TSUNA! I told you to wait and see! Not to go and summon Cal at the first opportunity!"

Tsuna panted, "Cal!"

'TSUNA! HAYATO! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! I MISSED YOU BABIES! I CRY! FOREVER AND EVER! AND WHERE ARE WEEEEEE?!'

"Later, Cal!"

'Okay! You want me to take down those bastards? Imma show 'em the power of REAL swords!' With a roar, Cal stabbed himself through the nearest approaching stormguard, 'Aiyah! Whooo-wotchaw!' Cal destroyed the stormguard with his energy rays.

"Why is he imitating the sounds martial artists would make?"

"Hush, Hayato. Let Cal have fun."

"You're not planning to call Mimi too, are you?"

Tsuna heaved, "Do I look like I can fucking do it?!"

Hayato merely scrutinized him.

"NO! I CAN'T! I WON'T!"

"Good to know."

'ORAORAORAORA!'

"Let's go; we shouldn't let Cal do all the work."

.

"So, she didn't transfer her power through the ascension ritual, she transferred her soul."

"All of the Sun Queens were Himiko. And they wanted me to go through the ritual?" Hayato was incredulous.

Tsuna stomped over to Himiko's statue and growled at her, "Listen you jumped up queen! You're nothing compared to the supposedly immortal, Atlantean goddess I killed yesterday!"

'YEAH! SHOW HER WHO'S BOSS!'

Hayato sighed, "Why don't you go and say those words to her face?"

"Who said I wasn't going to do that? I was simply practicing."

.

Tsuna and Hayato stood in front of what had to be the corpse, poised and carefully made up to appear doll-like.

Their hair and clothes whipped in the wind as they contemplated the queen.

"It feels a bit anticlimactic," Tsuna murmured, barely heard over the wind, "All of that hype, and all we faced on the way here were a mere handful of stormguards and the wind."

"Hey, Tsuna? Didn't you have something to say to her?"

"Yeah." Tsuna strode forward towards the queen, "Listen you jumped up queen! You're nothing compared to the supposedly immortal, Atlantean goddess I killed yesterday!"

Hayato snorted, "Well, then. How to take her down?"

Tsuna giggled as flames coated his fists, "I was thinking pounding."

"Oh no, you don't." Hayato lowered Tsuna's hands, "You've already tired out your flames, you idiot. Think of something else, genius."

'I was thinking penetration.'

"Well." Hayato contemplated for a moment, "That sounds like a great idea."

"Hayato!" Tsuna mock-gasped, "Have you been corrupted already?"

Hayato sent a deadpan look Tsuna's way, "You pervert, she's a corpse and Cal's a sword." Hayato plunged Cal deep into the corpse's chest.

The corpse twitched, and screamed.

"Ow. My ear."

"Cal?"

'Ehehehehe.'

Cal glowed green and red, completely disintegrating the corpse.

.

"Look. The clouds parted for sun rays to illuminate us."

"Cliché."

.

"Now that the clouds completely dispersed, we can go down."

"It feels nice not to have her bearing down on my flames."

"It does, doesn't it? I didn't know she was such a literal headache until she was gone."

.

"It's finished! Whoo!" Tsuna waved a hand at the other survivors, "We can leave the island now."

.

The boat was an hour away from the island's shore when Tsuna stiffened, "Hayato?"

Hayato looked worried, "Already? We've been here for only what? A day?"

Tsuna walked over to Roth and Jonah and whispered, making sure what he was about to say didn't reach the others, "We're leaving."

"What?" Roth whispered back, Jonah frowned lightly.

"Remember the light we mentioned?" Hayato interjected, "It's going to be picking us up any time now."

"What about our Lara and Sam?" Jonah questioned, putting a hand on Tsuna's shoulder.

Tsuna looked over at Hayato and Cal, Cal picked on his silent request and answered it, 'I don't know. After you two left the previous world, Mimi and I have been stuck in-between worlds.'

"We don't know what happens after we leave."

"Oh." Jonah's hand dropped from Tsuna's shoulder.

Not a moment later, light flashed and picked Tsuna, Hayato and Cal up, once again catapulting them from one place into another.

.

The moment the light deposited Tsuna, he took quick stock of his surroundings, making sure to flare his awareness as far as possible.

He was in a street in a town somewhere. The street was crowded with what could be described as an 'everyday traffic'.

He had landed just in between a little kid with brown hair, wearing a scarf and holding a giant book, he looked about nine or so, and a man in his late twenties to early thirties with slicked back, black hair and wearing a suit.

The man was about to grab onto the kid at the same moment Tsuna landed between them, causing him to crash into Tsuna.

Hayato was nowhere nearby.

"You brat!" The man attempted to grab at Tsuna.

Big mistake.

Tsuna avoided the hands reaching to take a hold of him, and kneed the man in the stomach. Tsuna then grabbed the man by his shirt and slammed him into the wall behind him; one of his hands burst into flames and punched the wall next to the man's head, creating a hole the size of his fist in it.

"Try me." Tsuna growled, eyes glowing orange.

The man was rendered speechless.

Tsuna shoved the man into the wall again before letting him go; he had to find Hayato-!

"T-Tsu-kun?"

.

End.
