[edit] Plot Overview
The day starts off as normal, and they go to school. Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Haru, Ryohei and Kyoko soon all meet up. In the background, you can seen Lal Mirch standing on the telephone pole watching them. When they arrive at school, you can see Fon in the background with his stall. In class, two new transfer students are introduced, their names are Monta Hariyama and Himeko Hariyama (Hime). Tsuna comments that they don't look alike (they are twins). Hime then explains that they are fraternal twins. Tsuna then wonders how she could have heard him. At lunch, Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei go to the roof top and discuss about the Arcobaleno trials.
[edit] Trial #1 Colonnelo's Trial of Combat
[edit] Colonnello vs. Tsuna and Gokudera
Suddenly, Yamamoto, Gokudera and Ryohei knock Tsuna over. There on the ground, is a bullet mark. Lal Mirch suddenly appears and says Yamamoto, Gokudera and Ryohei pass, but Tsuna doesn't. She then asks if he is really suited to be the Vongola X (continuously slapping him in the process). Tsuna asks if she will be fighting them, and she explains that she is only an observer since she is a failed Arcobaleno. It is revealed that the real Arcobaleno testing them is Colonnello. Lal Mirch and Colonnello suddenly engage in combat ( with out the use of their weapons ). Lal Mirch comes out victorious and tells Colonnello to not underestimate his opponents. Colonnello then flies off telling them to meet him at the Namimori Mountain after school. Reborn then tells them to not underestimate the Colonnello as he took out 1375 enemy hitmen by himself and he is a combat expert. Reborn explains that he, as a member of the Italian Bird Watching Society kept count himself.
After school, they arrive at Namimori Mountain and meet Colonnello, Lal Mirch and Reborn. Lal Mirch acts as the judge and explains that in this trial, only Tsuna and one other guardian will participate. Ryohei and Gokudera then argue as to who will fight with Tsuna. Colonnello then chooses Gokudera, the Storm Guardian, to fight along with Tsuna (thinking 'The duty of the Guardian of the Storm, is to always be the center of attack, the furious storm that never rests') Colonnello tells them that they only need to get his badge on his bandanna to pass.
[edit] The Trial Starts
Gokudera activates his Sistema C.A.I. first and charges at Colonnello. He dodges his attack from his rifle and breaks a trap with this bombs. However, he fell for another trap that binded him with ropes. Tsuna (in Hyper Dying Will Mode) then helps Gokudera and breaks the ropes. A rock filled with dynamite then flies towards them. Tsuna, oblivious then flies towards it to attack it. Gokudera, knowing what gunpowder smells like, tells him to stop in the nick of time.
Lal Mirch and Reborn then say that they haven't seen anything and that the COMSUBIN wouldn't even use such tricks. Gokudera uses his Rocket Bombs to attack Colonnello but, Colonnello uses his Maximum Burst to counter it. Reborn comments it still as ridiculously strong as ever. The maximum burst hits the ground and causes a crevasse which Gokudera falls in. Tsuna saves him and says its no use attacking him one at a time, and that they will work together from now on.
Tsuna and Gokudera go on the offensive and attack Colonnello. Tsuna gets blown into a hillside and is attacked by Colonnello's Maximum burst. As the trial gos on, Chrome is back at Kokuyo land speaking to Mukuro who wonders where Chrome had been but decides to let her keep it to herself. Kyoko, Haru, Hana, Himeko and Monta finish shopping and are greeted by Shamal who quickly noticing the twins and pushes Kyoko, Haru and Hana away telling them they shouldn't be in the area and wondering why Himeko and Monta are there.
Meanwhile at the trial,Yamamoto and Ryohei wonder why Tsuna and Gokudera can't win even though they had gotten stronger. Reborn answers the reason as to why they can't win is because they cannot land a blow on Colonnello. Gokudera unleashes an onslaught of attacks at Colonnello while Tsuna charges the X-burner. Tsuna and Colonnello both unleash their strongest attacks. Tsuna comes out the victor taking his pin and receiving the first seal.
[edit] Waiting Period
While returning home Yamamoto and Ryohei congratulate Tsuna on passing the first trial and wondering where Reborn, Lal and Colonnello went off to. The three Arcobaleno are also discussing the trial while they are greeted by Skull who announces he will succesfully beat Tsuna unlike Colonnello, although by the time he finishes talking the three had left. Viper then appears and asks Skull what help did he need from him. At home Tsuna asks Nana to make rice balls as he wants to bring them to Chrome as she hadn't eaten since she was in the future.
The scene flashes to Hibari who is resting on the lounge when Tsuna pops into the window who tells Hibari to "suck it", prompting Hibari to chase him ( an illusion by Viper ). The scene then flashes to Chrome who is questioned by Tsuna ( once again an illusion by Viper ) as to where Mukuro is and is then yelled at to bring out Mukuro. Mukuro comes out angered at Tsuna for bullying Chrome and chases him outside. Outside, ( the real ) Tsuna has just arrived at Kokuyo land with rice balls for Chrome, making it apparent he was neither at Namimori or Kokuyo land beforehand. He is then spotted by both Hibari and Mukuro but the two, rather then go after Tsuna, start to fight each other.
[edit] Trial #2 Skull's Trial of Charisma
[edit] Skull vs. Tsuna, Mukuro and Hibari
Skull appears after the plan he and Viper cooked up fails. Viper leaves the scene, and Colonnello and Lal arrive. Reborn reveals that the trials cannot start until Lal can observe.
The trial starts, and Skull summons a bunch of his minions, who were hiding in the bushes. They pile on to Mukuro and Hibari, whom subsequently repel them easily.
Ken and Chikusa appear from within the Kokuyo Land main building. Mukuro asks them to deal with Skull, and he and Hibari take off to fight elsewhere free of interruptions. The two easily deal with the remaining minions.
Skull gives his Arcobaleno Seal to Tsuna and his Guardians.

[edit] Trial #4 Fong's Trial of Leadership (To Be Worth Following)
[edit] Fong vs. Tsuna, Lambo, Haru, and I-Pin
Reborn states that Fong was the champion of the top martial arts. Fong's name means 'wind' and his trial was of leadership qualities. To complete his trial, Tsuna, Haru and Lambo had to catch him. Since Fong was extremely agile, he was able to avoid them for the majority of the trial.
After many failed attempts, Tsuna arranged a plan to catch Fong. Lambo would try to corner him into the art room. Haru would then hide in there and scare him. With Lambo blocking of the exit and Haru inside the room, Fong's only way out would be a door on the left. However, Tsuna was waiting there. As Tsuna was about to catch him, Hibari arrived and so Fong was able to escape. I-Pin, who was hiding in the shadows since the beginning of the match, intervened and prevented Fong's escape. They both matched each others moves using martial arts and gyoza kempo. Shortly afterwards, I-Pin used gyoza kempo on Lambo and used him to send Fong flying into Tsuna's lap, where he had been beaten up by Hibari. This concluded the trial of leadership qualities and Fong gave Tsuna the storm Arcobaleno seal.

Reborn immediately knocks Tsuna unconscious and Hibari heads up to fight him. Reborn easily defeats Hibari alone, and then easily takes out all the other guardians except Lambo. While watching, Lal Mirch remembers the past where Reborn was always stronger than the others and how the situation was when everyone first met. Tsuna regains consciousness and fights with Reborn, meanwhile Reborn thinks back to the past where he was unable to accept the fact that his body turned into a baby. Later, Reborn gives Tsuna a chance to defeat him, but Tsuna is unable to finish him off with X-Burner.

By not giving his own trial, Verde has broken the Arcobaleno Pact and the other Arcobaleno join in to help. This was Verde's plan all along and he captures all the Arcobaleno and demands that Tsuna gives him the rings. Tsuna refuses and they try to save the Arcobaleno. Verde blows up the Arcobaleno but it is revealed that they were never captured but were hidden in an illusion by Viper. Tsuna ends the battle with his X-Burner and destroys Verde, but he turns out to be a robot.

Verde continuing his research of the box weapons. Aria, and Gamma returning to the Giglio Nero family. Colonnello possibly returning to Mafia Land after saying goodbye to Lal Mirch.
