69 is Superior Than 1000
Sawada Tsunayoshi, tenth don and Neo Primo of the Vongola Famiglia has tasked his male mist guardian to investigate one Amatsu Gai. And as Vongola luck would have it, a simple infiltration mission turned into a full-blown fight between Kamen Rider Thouser and Rokudo Mukuro.

"Kufufufu, you are a terrifying man, Sawada Tsunayoshi." A man with a pineapple for a hairstyle commented as he exited the office doors.
"Are you sure it was wise to send Mukuro-san, Tsu-kun?" An auburn-haired woman asked in concern. "Why not send Chrome-chan?"
"Considering what I had heard of that man, I'd rather not expose Chrome-chan to that, Kyoko-chan."
"You're becoming more and more into a mafia boss, Dame-Tsuna," A suited man in a fedora hat entered the office. "You're taking the feelings of your subordinates into consideration."
"I trust that your mission in the Americas went well?" The man identified as Dame-Tsuna raised an eyebrow.
"I am the world's strongest Hitman, what do you think?"
Tsuna simply rolled his eyes.
"I had to silence a few annoyances, but it went mostly fine," Reborn reported. "What's this company takeover happening in Japan?"
"ZAIA Enterprises' Head of the Japanese branch Amatsu Gai, wants to take over Hiden Intelligence." Tsuna sighed. "And from what I hear, he's been selling weapons to civilians to mimic those of Kamen Riders."
"That's troubling," Reborn frowned. "I trust you sent in Hibari, Namimori is one of the first communities that'd be in jeopardy if the selling of weapons goes through."
"He's already there alongside the former Disciplinary committee," Tsuna shared. "Fuuta, Ipin, Lambo, and Haru are currently busy discouraging Namimori citizens from buying the weapons ZAIA uses."
"What about the ZAIA specs, Tsu-kun?"
"Hibari-san gleefully destroyed those that made it past Namimori's borders," Tsuna couldn't help but smile. "People in Namimori are still afraid of Hibari-san that they couldn't protest as their purchase was getting destroyed in front of them."
"I mean there was that hacking incident a few days ago." Kyoko offered.
"So, who did you send if Hibari's already in Namimori?"
"Mukuro."

"Kufufufufu, so this is the man who Sawada Tsunayoshi wants to be investigated." A disembodied voice was heard.
"Wha- Who are you?!"
Amatsu Gai was walking to his car when he demanded the disembodied voice to answer his demands.
"I have to say, even I was able to infiltrate into his ranks rather easily and managed to get the information I need."
"Show yourself, coward!"
"Then again, this man is no Byakuran."
Suddenly his surroundings changed from ZAIA's car park to a land with blooming cherry blossoms.
"Extortion, bribery, malversation of company funds, corporate sabotage, human experimentation," The disembodied voice listed. "I have to say, even the people of the underground whom I've had the displeasure of meeting weren't as bad as this."
Amatsu summoned his Thousand Jacker and got on guard for an incoming attack, he just doesn't know where it will come from.
"I take that back," The disembodied voice immediately added. "You're not worse than them, but you're getting near to where they stand."
"I see how it is," Amatsu relaxed his stance. "You're too much of a coward to face me and accuse me of without showing your face," He smirked. "Why should I fear the words of a man who's too much of a coward to show his face?
"Very well."
Indigo smoke began to obscure Amatsu's vision, causing him to get on a guarded stance and prepared himself for an inevitable attack.
As the smoke dissipated, a man in an indigo suit appeared out of thin air and faced Amatsu with a smirk.
"Kufufufu, well?"
"I expected someone intimidating," Amatsu raised an eyebrow. "I did not realize Hiden had associates that could do cheap party tricks such as this."
"Kufufufu, cheap you say?"
"What else is it?" Amatsu smirked. "I do, however, must thank you, I did not realize this type of technology can be beneficial."
The man's red eye seemingly blurred as the kanji for one appeared on it. A moment later, vines sprouted from the ground and bound Amatsu in place.
"Wha-what is this?!" Amatsu demanded. "Unhand me at once! Do you who I am?!" He exclaimed as he struggled against his restraints.
"Do you still think this to be a cheap trick, Amatsu Gai?"
"You know me," ZAIA's CEO continued to struggle against his binds. "I don't know how you're doing this, but if you don't let me go, you will surely regret this."
"Kufufufu, let's see you try."
With great effort, Amatsu was able to equip himself with his driver and inserted his progrise keys into it, materializing his golden armor.
"The famed Kamen Rider Thouser." The man smirked.
"There's nothing here?" Amatsu growled as he phased through his supposed restraints. "And I see we're still in the car park."
"O-ho? Your technology wasn't fooled by my illusions," The man raised an eyebrow.
"You're not at all here." Amatsu concluded as he looked around his surroundings.
"You learn something new, soft mist flames cannot fool technology that has advanced significantly," The man stepped outside, into Thouser's view, and equipped himself with a pair of gloves. "That is good to know."
"Mist flames?"
"Kufufufu, you heard that," The man simply smirked. "We'll have to correct that."
Suddenly two separate coiled vines appeared from both the man's sides and began attacking Gai, relentlessly. He wasn't even able to form a counter-strategy from the man's supernatural-like abilities. The first ability he exhibited was perception alteration and now he's controlling whatever this was.
Gai continued dodging the vines coming his way, he even had to cut them for good measure. But somehow the vines regenerated and resumed their attack on him.
Gai managed to collect his bearings and was able to analyze the situation he was in all the while blocking and dodging the vines that came after him.
Flora…
Gai was being attacked by flora.
"Jack Rise – Jacking Break"
Kamen Rider Thouser stabbed his sword to the ground before multiple pillars of flames erupted from the ground and incinerated the vines attacking him.
It also incinerated all the nearby cars and pillars that were supporting the structure.
"Kufufufu, shouldn't have done that."
"Jack Rise – Jacking Break"
Amatsu spun his sword above him and emitted a gust of cold air from his sword, putting out the flame that he had inflicted on the parking area, leaving soot, ashes, and burnt cars in its wake.
"I see that hard mist flames are able to fool technology."
"Who are you?!"
"Call me Mukuro," The man materialized a spear in his hand. "A pleasure to meet you, Amatsu Gai." He spun his spear above his head and produced lotus flowers on vines.
The flowering vines immediately went for the golden warrior only to get minced to pieces. Sooner or later, Gai was overwhelmed by the vines and ended up getting restrained by them, hanging off of the ground.
"Let me go!" Gai demanded as he struggled against his restraints.
"As you wish," Mukuro obliged as he threw Gai out of the window before he followed suit, landing outside the parking building. "Kufufufufu, you did a lot of damage to the parking building, Amatsu." He commented as he looked at the parking building where the both of them came from.
"Don't you dare blame me, the blame rests on you 100%, no, 1000%!" Gai growled.
"Kufufufu, you knew all my attacks were illusions," Mukuro spun his spear in front of him. "And yet you still used flames against my illusory attacks."
"Why you!"
Amatsu blindly charged at his enemy, Thousand Jacker in hand, and attempted to slash his opponent. He continued slashing, slashing and slashing, but he seemed to hit nothing.
"The moment you lost concentration was the moment you gave up control over your perception." Mukuro spoke.
The Kanji on Mukuro's eyes changed to convey the number four before the illusionist donned a fighting stance, dissolving every illusion Mukuro had cast.
Without as much as a prompt, Mukuro charged at the golden warrior and began attacking his enemy. The attacks consisted of slashing, stabbing, and hitting his enemy with the blunt end of his spear.
Amatsu could do nothing but take the attack as he stood, paralyzed, from the illusions he had encountered.
After relentlessly attacking the defenseless golden warrior, Mukuro kicked Amatsu in the chest. Thouser was knocked back hard before a pole made of vines slammed him to a wall, hitting his gut, and fall to the ground.
Amatsu's golden armor vanished and revealed his battered form: a tattered suit and a bruised face with blood dripping from his mouth to his chin.
"Kufufufu, someone with a 69% rate beat someone with a 1000% rate," Mukuro gloated. "Clearly ZAIA isn't like what it advertises to be."
"You will regret this!" Amatsu coughed.
"I doubt I will."
----------
"Mukuro!" Tsuna exclaimed. "I told you to investigate, not beat him black and blue!"
"Don't fret, Tsunayoshi-kun" Mukuro assured his boss. "He's not as injured as he appeared to be."
"I'm not angry about his state!" Tsuna huffed. "You used your flames when you fought him!"
"That is curious," Gokudera frowned. "Usually when a fight when the flames are involved, the Vendice are usually on the case."
"That is true." Reborn contemplated. "They should have arrested Mukuro right then and there."
"As you can see, I'm here."
"Wait, didn't Bermuda-dono say that they will guard the Trinisette flames and keep the 8th attribute alight forever?" Basil interjected.
"You're right."
"I guess we lucked out this time, huh?" Yamamoto chuckled.
"Oi, this isn't a game, baseball idiot!" Gokudera responded indignantly.
"Still, there's the Amatsu problem." Tsuna frowned.
"I wouldn't be worrying too much about him," Mukuro revealed. "We need to think of evacuation plans for the incoming incursion of hacked humagears."
"Mukuro's right," Reborn agreed. "From the information that Mukuro gathered, it seems that when Amatsu taught the Ark about human malice, it gained sentience and is centered on that malice." He placed the papers he was reading on Tsuna's table. "Amatsu Gai is the least of our problems; we could have a war between humagears and humans on our hands."
