Man: What is that?!
Man: A pitch-black cloud is looming over the shrine!
Byaku: Hey there, fellas.
Tsuna: Ah! What is that?!
Byaku: You look to be doing well, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Tsuna: Huh?! B-Byakuran?!
Ryohei: Byakuran's a giant?!
Lambo: Monster!
Spanner: There's a metallic reading.
Spanner: It's a giant apparatus.
Byaku: Oh?
Tsuna: Huh?
Byaku: I said to bring everyone with you.
Byaku: Some people are missing.
Tsuna: Uh, ah, that's...
Byaku: Oh well.
Byaku: You'll be the ones who suffer at crunch time.
Byaku: Now start pushing out flames quick.
Byaku: There's only a little time left before noon, the scheduled time.
Byaku: Time will be up when the light from my face disappears.
Basil: The light is fading!
Ryohei: And fading fast!
Byaku: Now come on.
Byaku: What's wrong? You scared?
Tsuna: B-But...
Tsuna: We're still missing people.
Byaku: Oh?
Byaku: I'm glad that you respect the rules.
Byaku: But it sounds like an excuse
Byaku: for not being able to produce five million Fiamma Volts.
Tsuna: I'm sure... I'm sure they'll be here!
Byaku: But you're out of time.
Tsuna: No! They'll come!
Hibari: What are you people doing?
Yamamoto: Yo, sorry to keep you waiting.
Tsuna: Both of them came!
Gokudera: Boss!
Ryohei: Sawada!
Chrome: Boss!
Tsuna: O-Okay!
Tsuna: Vongola Box!
Tsuna: Open Box!
Byaku: Hmm? Oh? What is this?
Irie: That's the Flame Ring Teleportation System...
Spanner: Shoichi.
Spanner: The reading...
Irie: Ten million Fiamma Volts!
Irie: So I wasn't mistaken...
Irie: I wasn't mistaken when I brought them to this world!
Irie: They are the only light that can stand against Byakuran-san.
Irie: The young th generation Vongola Family!
EpTitle: Target Choice Begins
Mob: That looks dangerous!
Mob: Run for it!
Mob: Help!
Gokudera: Man... You guys are late!
Yamamoto: Sorry about that.
Hibari: I am here for personal reasons.
Hibari: It's got nothing to do with you.
Ryohei: But Sawada, how'd you know they would come?
Tsuna: No...
Tsuna: All I knew was that
Tsuna: we needed everyone together or we couldn't defeat Byakuran.
Byaku: Yes, marvelous...
Byaku: Over five million Fiamma Volts...
Byaku: You pass.
Byaku: Then let's get down...
Byaku: to starting Choice.
Tsuna: Yeah.
Byaku: The first choice will be the selection of a b*ttlefield.
Byaku: On account of your wonderful flames,
Byaku: I'll yield the choice of b*ttlefield to your side.
Kyoko: What are those?
Haru: Playing cards?
Byaku: You've heard the rules of Choice from Sho-chan, right?
Byaku: Choice is a game of choices.
Byaku: Battlefields and combatants must be chosen before you can begin.
Byaku: The outcome is largely determined by fate.
Byaku: Now draw a card, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Byaku: That will be the choice you have made.
Giannini: But the cards were made by the enemy...
Irie: Don't worry.
Irie: Choice is the one occasion where Byakuran-san will never cheat.
Gokudera: Boss...
Yamamoto: All yours, Tsuna.
: Yeah.
Lambo: Lambo-san wants to draw! Wants to draw!
Chrome: Boss...
Tsuna: Okay, I'll make my choice.
Byaku: The b*ttlefield card is Lightning.
Byaku: Let's go then.
Yamamoto: What is this?!
Giannini: M-My body is floating on its own!
Irie: It's okay! Don't panic!
Haru: Eek!
Lambo: Lambo-san's flying!
Gokudera: Damn... What the hell?!
Haru: Ow...
Tsuna: Man, that hurt...
Tsuna: Ah! E-Everybody okay?
Bianchi: Yes...
Tsuna: Nobody hurt?
Giannini: Y-Yes, somehow...
Giannini: Though I feel I lost a few years off my life.
Basil: We're also fine over here!
Ryohei: You okay, Kyoko?
Kyoko: Uh-huh. I'm fine, Ryohei.
Reborn: Looks like everybody made it here in one piece.
Chrome: Boss, there's something buried here.
: Huh?
Tsuna: That's Lambo.
Chrome: Huh?
Chrome: Ah...
Lambo: That hurts!
Chrome: Sorry...
Chrome: Huh?
Lambo: I dropped my lollipop!
Futa: It's okay, Lambo.
Futa: Here.
Gokudera: But we b*rned up a large amount of flames in the process.
Gokudera: Uri returned to his box.
Yamamoto: So did mine.
Ryohei: Mangaroo too!
Chrome: Mukuro...
Tsuna: This is...
Byaku: Hey.
Byaku: Welcome to the Choice arena.
Tsuna: Byakuran...
Tsuna: What?!
Kyoko: Huh?
Haru: Eek?!
Ryohei: Wh-What's the meaning of this?!
Basil: This is...
Tsuna: The middle of a bunch of skyscrapers!
Byaku: It feels like we've met many times...
Byaku: But is this the first time you've met me in person,
Byaku: Tsunayoshi-kun?
Tsuna: Ah! Th-There they are!
Tsuna: Byakuran and the real six Funeral Wreaths!
Lambo: Wah! They're kinda scary!
Lambo: I'm on this side!
Byaku: This is where we'll be fighting.
Tsuna: Huh? Here?
Byaku: That's right.
Byaku: Don't you think it's a fine location?
Tsuna: Huh?
Tsuna: W-We can't possibly fight in a place with so many people!
Byaku: I thought you might say that,
Byaku: so I got rid of all the people.
Tsuna: Huh?
Gokudera: Wha-?
Yamamoto: Now that you mention it, the place is awfully quiet.
Bianchi: Especially when you consider that we're in the middle of a metropolis.
Basil: No signs of crowd chatter or traffic noise.
Chrome: Or birds...
Byaku: We are the only people in this place.
Tsuna: Huh?
Gokudera: What do you mean?
Irie: A b*ttlefield made especially for Choice.
Byaku: Well, we'll explain everything in due time.
Blue: Boo! Puhleeze!
Blue: They're a bunch of kids.
Ryohei: What?!
Gokudera: Damn you...
Blue: Boo, I can handle this lot by myself!
Tsuna: Whoa, her hand!
Kikyo: O-ho.
Kikyo: Don't be hasty, Bluebell.
Kikyo: Lord Byakuran has been looking forward to this party.
Kikyo: We should enjoy ourselves.
Tsuna: N-Now what?!
Yamamoto: I-In an instant... No, not even an instant...
Ryohei: What just happened?!
Gokudera: Not to mention that magma bath...
Gokudera: Are these freaks even human?!
Kikyo: O-ho.
Kikyo: My Cloud Guardian counterpart
Kikyo: appears to be you in the school uniform.
Kikyo: I am Kikyo.
Kikyo: A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Hibari: Enough chitchat.
Hibari: Let's get started.
Byaku: But we can't do that yet, Hibari-chan.
Byaku: This is Choice.
Byaku: We have to proceed to the next choice.
Tsuna: Wh-What is that?!
Irie: It's a gyroroulette...
Byaku: I'll make it easier for everyone to see.
Gokudera: What's with the list of symbols?
Tsuna: This one is Millefiore...
Tsuna: This one is Vongola...
Tsuna: These represent our individual elements?
Byaku: Place the hand with your ring on the side with gears, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Tsuna: Huh?
Byaku: Here, like this.
Tsuna: L-Like this?
Byaku: Spin the gears right when I say Choice.
Tsuna: Huh? H-Hold-
Byaku: Choice.
Byaku: Hmm, they're stopping.
Byaku: And it's decided.
Tsuna: Huh?
Byaku: The participants in the battle.
Tsuna: Wh-What is this?
Tsuna: There are a bunch of numbers lined up.
Irie: Next to the element symbols...
Irie: I see!
Irie: The numbers say how many participants are allowed for each element!
Byaku: You sure are a quick one, Sho-chan.
Byaku: That's right.
Byaku: The gyroroulette determined the number
Byaku: of combatants from each element on the b*ttlefield.
Yamamoto: The number depends on the element?
Tsuna: And the total number is different between Vongola and Millefiore.
Byaku: That's the fun part about Choice.
Byaku: Vongola will be sending one each from Sky, Storm, and Rain, huh?
Byaku: Good draw, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Gokudera: Hold on!
Gokudera: Then what's the square on the bottom?!
Gokudera: I've never seen any element like that!
Byaku: Hmm?
Byaku: Oh, that would be the null element.
Byaku: In other words, it represents those without rings.
Byaku: You have a "",
Byaku: so you'll need to send out two of them.
Reborn: So that's why you said to bring everyone.
Tsuna: Having them all participate in the fight...
Tsuna: No way!
Tsuna: Kyoko-chan?!
Ryohei: Kyoko!
Tsuna: When did he...
Bianchi: Who are you?!
Daisy: I'm Daisy...
Daisy: This is for you...
Kikyo: Sorry about that.
Kikyo: The second I take my eyes off him...
Kikyo: Daisy has a weakness for the lovely and fragile, like you two.
Tsuna: Wh-What's with this guy?
Byaku: Well then...
Byaku: Let's announce the participating members then.
Byaku: Oh, this is the one time you can discuss before making your choice.
Irie: Byakuran-san, since I don't have a ring,
Irie: I can be considered a "null element", right?
Byaku: Well, I'll make a special exception.
Irie: In that case, Tsunayoshi-kun,
Irie: our lineup is settled.
Tsuna: Huh?
Irie: The participating Vongola members will be as follows:
Irie: Sky will be Tsunayoshi-kun.
Irie: Storm will be Gokudera-kun.
Irie: Rain will be Yamamoto-kun.
Irie: Null element will be represented by Spanner and me.
Gokudera: Hey wait, Irie!
Gokudera: Like we'd listen to your orders!
Gokudera: The boss makes these decisions!
Reborn: But Gokudera, I agree with a lineup where everyone has combat experience.
Gokudera: What? Reborn-san!
Ryohei: Hold on!
Ryohei: Isn't there something wrong when I can't participate?!
Ryohei: I extremely trained with Mangaroo!
Tsuna: Hey, Ryohei!
Irie: You'll have to bear with it this time!
Irie: The other side is also bound by these conditions.
Irie: That's how Choice works.
Irie: Besides, the gyroroulette gave us a pretty favorable result.
Irie: The other side is down a person,
Irie: and Byakuran-san can't participate.
Hibari: You think I'm going to accept that reasoning?
Hibari: I'm going to participate.
Tsuna: H-Hibari-san!
Irie: Wait! You can't just decide that...
Dino: Hold on, Kyoya.
Tsuna: Huh?
Dino: Man, you're so hopeless.
Tsuna: Dino-san!
Tsuna: When did you get here?!
Dino: I snuck in during the warp.
Dino: I've been here the whole time.
Tsuna: The whole time?!
Tsuna: I never noticed!
Dino: I'm your tutor...
Dino: Of course I'd come.
Blue: Byakuran, what's that?
Byaku: Dino the Bronco.
Blue: Bronco?
Byaku: Hibari-chan's tutor.
Byaku: Right, Arcobaleno Reborn?
Reborn: So you know everything about us, huh?
Dino: Use your head.
Dino: If Tsuna and the others b*at the Millefiore,
Dino: you'll be free to fight with whomever you want.
Dino: Just suck it up for now, yeah?
Hibari: Make it quick.
Dino: Yeah, got it.
Tsuna: Dino-san's gotten good at persuading Hibari-san!
Dino: Tsuna, it's your call.
Dino: Are you okay with that lineup?
Tsuna: Huh?
Tsuna: Y-Yes!
Futa: Hey, Giannini, are you okay with this?
Futa: You've been completely ignored...
Futa: And Spanner, who's also null element and a mechanic, was chosen...
Giannini: U-Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a choice.
Giannini: I'll leave it to them!
Futa: He looks so happy...
Tsuna: So he doesn't want to participate...
Zakuro: I feel like crap.
Yamamoto: He's...
Tsuna: That guy who was whistling...
Gokudera: That magma bath freak!
Zakuro: Lord Byakuran, sorry, but since I don't have a role to play,
Zakuro: I'm getting sick of this, to be honest.
Kikyo: I apologize, Lord Byakuran.
Kikyo: Zakuro is starting to lose interest.
Byaku: Hmm, then we'd better hurry.
Bell: Which one of us is the wacko now?!
Byaku: Then I'll introduce the participating members from the Millefiore side now.
Byaku: Cloud will be the ever-reliable and kind leader
Byaku: of the real six Funeral Wreaths, Kikyo.
: O-ho.
Byaku: Sun will be the zombie who lives to k*ll, Daisy.
Byaku: Mist will be the phantom giant bringer of truth, Torikabuto.
Byaku: Hmm, I think that does it.
Basil: You're still missing one!
Basil: You're supposed to have two Mist members!
Blue: Uh-oh!
Byaku: Crap!
Byaku: Is that what you expected us to say?
Byaku: Like I said before,
: each of the six real Funeral Wreaths has been
: assigned one hundred Rank A subordinates.
Tsuna: N-Now that you mention it...
Yamamoto: He did say something about that.
Byaku: The other Mist player
Byaku: is already here.
Byaku: One of Torikabuto's men.
Byaku: Saru.
Gokudera: Where did he come from?!
Ryohei: I couldn't even feel his presence.
Chrome: Two Illusionists...
Dino: So they have plenty of resources.
Basil: Cowards!
Byaku: Well then...
Byaku: We're finally getting to the rules of victory.
Byaku: I went with the simplest and quickest Choice rule set.
Byaku: The Target rules.
Tsuna: T-Target rules?
Irie: A very simple set of rules.
Irie: Both sides select one person to become the enemy's target.
Irie: When a target is defeated, that side loses.
Reborn: I see.
Reborn: So we're selecting captains.
Reborn: The target is the equivalent of a king in chess.
Irie: I should mention that the target was already selected by the roulette.
Tsuna: Huh?
Byaku: Certain element marks are illuminated on the roulette board, yeah?
Byaku: Millefiore's is Sun.
Byaku: Vongola's is null.
Byaku: When two or more members belong to the target element,
Byaku: the roulette will select one at random.
Tsuna: Ah!
Tsuna: That settles it.
Byaku: The Millefiore's target is Daisy.
Byaku: The Vongola's target is Sho-chan.
Reborn: Ciao-su.
Reborn: And now for the horoscope segment I'm sure you've all missed.
