A/N: This idea had been nagging me for a while till I written it down, and from there, this happened.

Enjoy, any comment, other than incredibly negative ones, are appreciated, along with follows or favourites. This is, sadly, short (in my terms).

At the current state, there will be no pairings, unless someone manages to really convince me. (This does not include blackmail or anything of the sort -.-)

Chapter 1: The Mist Shrouded Sky

(5 Years Ago)

"Tsuna!" Sawada Nana called out, searching for the eight-year old child around the park. Waiting only for a second, she turned and guided a nine-year old child away, Sawada Tsukiya, "Tsuna must have went on another adventure." She sighed with disapproval.

"That's fine since Mommy has Tsuki to make up for your...brother." Nana crooned at the small boy, pausing once on her words. The boy with slightly spiky dark brown hair and light blue eyes blinked up at her, confused. His mother beamed at his adorable face and ushered both of them back home, promises of homemade foods and toys filled the journey home.

Not even a few seconds later, a smaller boy with caramel hair that stood up everywhere and light amber eyes tumbled out of the bushes lining the park, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Dirt and leaves dusted his body and face as he wobbly got up, scanning the area.

"K-Kaa-san?" He whimpered, seeing no familiar faces. Other parents glanced at him before pushing his existence out of their minds, they had their own lives and children to take care of. All but one.

"Hello there, are you lost?" Tsuna peered up at the adult with sharp eyes and messy attire, something nagging in the back of his mind. The boy shakily nodded, clasping the bottom of his shirt.

A large smile broke out on the man's face, "I can bring you back home." he said attempting a soothing tone. His voice sent a spasm of panic up Tsuna's spine.

"N-No t-thank y-yo-you" He stuttered out as he backed away. Tsuna was just about to bolt when the man in front of him sighed and backed away. The adult took one glance at Tsuna before leaving, slipping a phone out of his pocket.

Tsuna relaxed when both the panic that plagued him, and its source, left. He took a step forward, focused on finding his mother before-

-The world then turned black.

The steady sound of firm silver tapping the icy ground echoed through the dimly-lit hallway. Orange-flecked eyes spared not even a single glance towards the faintly glowing containers, each one suspending a bound body within it, as he travelled farther down the hall without pause.

The silver trident he held softly in his grip once again met the hard ground, tapping the area where the cold ground met the wall. The weapon grew warm in his loose grip and a small smirk curled at the edge of his lips.

"Never thought about this, now have you- Vindice." he mumbled in sadistic pleasure before slightly tilting his head to the right, a silent question being asked and was answered by a faint whisper in his mind.

'Left.'

With an unseen nod, he glided past the security cameras without so much as a kernel of fear. The seemingly unneeded tapping of the trident continued, sending unheard echos further into the prison.

The ill-fitting white shirt fluttered around his slim body and baggy trousers brushed the ground as he glided around a turn and further down the hall. Much like a ghost, no cameras trailed after him nor did the alarms sound.

He eyed the end of the hall, where a single container rested, and approached. The sole container was isolated a few metres apart from the long line of containers -as if it held something more...dangerous then the rest.

Through the firm glass, heterochromic eyes fluttered open and long navy strands of hair slowly danced in the water. The pale body was encased with chains and various tubes in the cold liquid.

"I trust you to meet me halfway?" he murmured, already knowing the answer.

'You shouldn't ask meaningless questions' Was the whispered reply in his mind.

With one last glance behind him, he firmly jabbed the trident into the glass once -CRACK -and pulled back.

Thin cracks blossomed from the impact point, sending small splits around the circumference of the glass cylinder. Pressing a hand onto the cracked glass, he took a deep breath and his eyes shifted orange. A soft orange flame licked at his fingers before flaring out once, sending the damaged glass flying.

In a split second the water fell, causing a noisy splash, and the halls were flooded with a deep flickering red light along with blaring alarms. He hurriedly removed the chains and tubes trapping his friend and draped a small, tattered blanket over the freezing and clammy skin.

"Fix it, your trident can only do so much with your mist flames." He whispered to his friend, evaporating the spilt water around them with more of his orange flames. He wanted to focus more on his friend, as it had been about a week since the other was taken, but the two had no time to waste.

"Ken and Chikusa have released a few other prisoners as a distraction in the upper levels, but the place is being put on lock down faster then we predicted," he explained as the other mustered up the energy to 'fix' the broken container. The area was shrouded with a blue-tinted mist and within seconds the hall was spotless, no trace of the two were seen and everything was as it was originally.

Miles away, two more joined the two as they fled farther away from Vendicare Prison.

A/N: As stated before, for the readers who do not read the beginning notes (I know I rarely do), anything is appreciated, unless it is incredibly negative. I do, however, thank you for your time, hope you enjoyed the short beginning I have.

If needed to clear up any confusion, without giving away spoilers, the italic part at the start was a scene from the past, then the next part is the present time. Tsunayoshi has a brother, said brother is oblivious to why Tsuna had not been with them.

The breakout scene was, in fact, referring to Tsuna, and hopefully you already know who he had broken out.
