TRINISETTE,Unleashed

Chapter 1: Inizio

It was a grim day. Clouds hung in the sky with a promise of foreboding. Gathered on top of Namimori Middle were the strongest seven, the Arcobaleno. They assembled for the first time since after the Trials. The atmosphere was heavy with seriousness, almost smothering. If a student were to come across the group they would have trembled from where they stood. Fortunately, it was after school hours.

"Oi, this isn't getting better kora," Collonelo said as he looked at his hands and closed it tightly into fists.

"Everyday this unsettling feeling is growing," Fon said as he placed his hand on his pacifier.

Verde remained silent. Mammon merely complained why he didn't get to be paid for just being here.

"Why are you guys worrying? It's probably just-" Skull cut off as two guns were pointed at him. One was Collonelo's rifle, and the other belonging to the sadist hitman, Reborn. The rest already knew it was pointless to listen to Skull anyway. Reborn frowned, it's been three weeks since they were left deeply unsettled, as if something had shifted from its proper place and is now teetering on the edge of a knife. His instincts - while unable to compare to Tsuna's intuition - that always managed to tell him the difference between life and death was telling him how precarious this situation was.

At first, Reborn thought it would involve Tsuna (don't they always?) and was tense. He anticipated something monumental to happen but after a long time of waiting, for the first time ever, he was wrong. So he took the initiative to move first. To the best of his abilities, Reborn had utilized all of his connections within the mafia. He had allies probing other families to see if they were planning and even went as far as to have Future I-pin report the future without risking it. Practically anything that could be concerned with his student had turned out nothing. Of course there was the occasional assassination plans but those were nothing - what worried him was that it was quiet.

It felt like the quiet calm before the arrival of the storm.

And in his line of work, quiet could be associated with a very, very bad things. Then it was only a few days ago when he discovered that the other Arcobaleno were feeling quite similar to what he felt. Collonelo came to visit first and seeing the rain Arcobaleno troubled, Reborn instantly knew this was bigger than a random Family declaring revenge against his student. One look at their pacifiers that glowed faintly - no longer bright - Reborn summoned the others, sadly for a gathering. Unfortunately, Aria cannot be there personally due to some matters. However Verde had her connected with them on his laptop via internet.

"How's it going?" Reborn asked since Aria had been silent for some time. Her eyes were closed and a bead of sweat was trailing down her forehead. When she opened her eyes, she looked very much worn out.

"It isn't the future we should be worrying about…" she mumbled as she rubbed her temples.

"What? Then it's in the present kora?" Collonelo asked, alarmed.

"No," she replied.

Silence.

"In the past then?" Verde suggested quietly.

Aria paused then slowly nodded her head and winced at the spike of pain. Her powers were meant to be able to glimpse into the far future, not to look into the past. But she was able to skim the passage of time just enough to know that something had abruptly changed in the past, shifted and was slowly breaking apart from the original timeline.
