02x55 - Determination

[bunniefuu]

Ryohei: Wh-What?!

Gokudera: Inside...!

Gokudera: Somebody was inside!

On Screen,EpTitle: Target Resolve

Tsuna: Th-This man is...

Tsuna: Vongola IX!

Basil: It cannot be!

Basil: Why is he here?

Tsuna: Wh-What's going on?

Tsuna: He was inside Gola Moska?

Tsuna: Why?

Reborn: Hey, get a grip!

Reborn: Bah...

Reborn: I saw the inside of Moska once before.

Reborn: It would seem that Vongola IX was being used as Gola Moska's power source.

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuna: Power source?

Tsuna: Wh-Why?

Xanxus: It's a little late for questions.

Xanxus: You att*cked Vongola IX.

Tsuna: I-I...

Reborn: This looks bad.

Reborn: We won't be able to treat these injuries with a first-aid kit.

Tsuna: No way...

Xanxus: Who here b*at up the old man without showing any mercy?

Xanxus: Who here seared the old man and Gola Moska in two?

Tsuna: N-No way...

Tsuna: I-I hurt Vongola IX...

Tsuna: I...

Timoteo: No...

Timoteo: This was all my fault.

Tsuna: Vo-Vongola IX!

Timoteo: At last we meet, Tsunayoshi-kun...

Main: ,What?

Timoteo: Forgive me...

Timoteo: This happened all because of my own weakness.

Timoteo: My weakness woke Xanxus from his long slumber...

Tsuna: Huh?

Reborn: What do you mean by long slumber?

Reborn: After the cradle incident, Xanxus should've

Reborn: been removed from the Vongola Family and placed

Reborn: under strict supervision.

Tsuna: Cradle incident?

Reborn: It happened eight years ago, and was the greatest coup d'etat in Vongola history.

Reborn: The fact that the ringleader was Vongola IX's son,

Reborn: Xanxus, was a closely guarded secret.

Reborn: Only the upper echelon and the Vongola elite who fought at that time know.

Timoteo: Time, for Xanxus, has not advanced these past eight years.

Timoteo: He was asleep this whole time.

Timoteo: Only his rage and ideals moved forward.

Tsuna: Huh? Wh-What do you mean?

Tsuna: What happened?

Tsuna: A-Are you okay?!

Tsuna: Hang in there!

Timoteo: Tsunayoshi-kun...

Timoteo: I've heard...

Timoteo: I've heard so much about you from Reborn...

Timoteo: The girl you like...

Timoteo: How you're doing at school...

Timoteo: Who your friends are...

Timoteo: You are a child with a heart ill-suited for being a Mafia boss.

Tsuna: Vongola IX!

Timoteo: I know that you've never enjoyed fighting.

Timoteo: That brow of yours, perpetually creased, as you pray with trembling fists...

Timoteo: That is why I chose you to be Vongola X...

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuna: He didn't choose Xanxus?

Tsuna: A Deathperation Flame?

Tsuna: It feels so warm and familiar...

Tsuna: Familiar?

Tsuna: I... I...

Mom: Tsuna.

Dad: Tsuna.

Mom: Tsuna.

Dad: Over here, Tsuna.

Mom: There you go, Tsuna.

Timoteo: Come here, Tsunayoshi-kun.

Tsuna: I... I know this man...

Tsuna: The flame's going out.

Tsuna: I-It can't be!

Timoteo: Forgive me...

Timoteo: But I'm glad I chose you...

Tsuna: Wait!

Tsuna: You can't!

Tsuna: Don't go!

Tsuna: Vongola IX!

Tsuna: Vongola IX...

Xanxus: How dare you do this to him!

Xanxus: I take your cowardly act toward Vongola IX

Xanxus: as a challenge to his son, Xanxus, and the noble Vongola spirit itself.

Xanxus: Don't play dumb.

Xanxus: The burns on his chest are irrefutable proof.

Xanxus: This act eliminates the purpose for the battle for the rings.

Xanxus: For the sake of my father, the boss,

Xanxus: and for the future of the Vongola,

Xanxus: I will defeat you and avenge him.

Gokudera: What is he saying?!

Gokudera: He's the one who...

Reborn: This was his goal.

Tsuna: Huh?

Reborn: Even if he won the battle for the rings and became the next boss,

Reborn: those who know of the cradle incident

Reborn: would oppose him and continue to resist.

Reborn: But, if he turns Tsuna into the bad guy

Reborn: and defeats you to avenge Vongola IX's death,

Reborn: it will be a different story.

Reborn: He'll gain absolute trust from the majority of the Family.

Reborn: And if he can show that he's stronger than you,

Reborn: who should have been Vongola X, he can prove that he's the true successor.

Reborn: Once that's done, he could easily eliminate those who oppose him.

Basil: Then Xanxus intends to become a dictator once he becomes the boss?!

Reborn: Yeah, this was all a trap.

Reborn: He knew that Tsuna himself would jump in to help if Gola Moska went out of control

Reborn: and his Guardians were in danger.

Tsuna: No way...

Tsuna: F-For such a reason...

CervelloB: We would ask that you all refrain from idle speculation.

CervelloC: We are recording every word being spoken here.

Yamamoto: Damn them...

Gokudera: So the Cervello were on Xanxus' side!

Reborn: Do whatever you want.

Reborn: I'm pissed...

Reborn: But I promised Vongola IX, so I won't interfere

Reborn: in my student's match.

Reborn: Well...

Reborn: It doesn't matter what I say, since it's all up to my battle-hating student.

Tsuna: Xanxus.

Tsuna: I'll be taking that ring back.

Tsuna: I won't...

Tsuna: I won't let you succeed Vongola IX!

Reborn: Well said, Tsuna.

Xanxus: I'll make sure the history books mention

Xanxus: the foolish twerp who defied Xanxus by himself.

Gokudera: He's not alone!

Gokudera: The boss's will...

Gokudera: ...is our will!

Hibari: And my own.

Levi: Ready to bring it, kids?

Bel: I'm liking this.

Xanxus: Exterminate the traitors.

Cervello: Please wait.

CervelloB: We will supervise...

CervelloC: ...the battle to avenge Vongola IX.

Main: ,What?!

CervelloB: It is our duty to confirm the whereabouts of the Vongola Rings.

Gokudera: What?! You're nothing but Xanxus' lackeys!

CervelloB: Watch your tongue.

CervelloB: We have a decree from Vongola IX himself here.

CervelloC: The rings cannot be moved without our permission.

Basil: How dare thy act so shrewdly!

Basil: Thou must have forced Vongola IX to affix his Deathperation seal!

CervelloB: As I said before, please refrain from idle speculation.

CervelloC: We are hereby declaring the match to determine the next Vongola boss:

Cervello: The Sky Ring battle.

CervelloC: We are hereby declaring the match to determine the next Vongola boss:

Cervello: The Sky Ring battle.

CervelloC: In other words, the final battle in the seven ring tournament.

CervelloB: Your thoughts, Master Xanxus?

Xanxus: Not bad.

CervelloB: Then, tomorrow night...

CervelloC: You must all assemble at Nami Middle.

Bel: Oh, man...

Bel: The fake gets a stay of execution.

Ryohei: What was that?!

Gokudera: You bastard...

Reborn: Tsuna exhausted himself with his training.

Reborn: This is good news.

Xanxus: Tomorrow will be the last act in this comedy.

Xanxus: Struggle all you can.

Ryohei: Th-They disappeared.

Ryohei: The women too.

Basil: Vo-Vongola IX!

Basil: Please hang in there!

Dino: Am I too late?

Gokudera: Bronco!

Dino: Guys, take care of Vongola IX and the injured.

ManA: There aren't any more mines over there, right?

ManB: All clear!

ManA: Be extra careful.

ManB: Understood!

Dino: I received word from the outside advisor's team.

Dino: I never expected this.

Dino: Are you okay?

Reborn: We've taken too much damage.

Reborn: But you know...

Ivan: Allow me to look at your injuries.

Chrome: I'm fine.

Ken: I wanna go home.

Chikusa: Ken, hold on.

Yamamoto: You okay, Hibari?

Gokudera: You're awfully quiet for once.

Hibari: If this situation will bring out the herbivore's strength,

Hibari: I can't move yet.

Reborn: Hey!

Reborn: Let's go home.

Reborn: Let's go home.

Tsuna: Huh?

Reborn: You need to recharge for tomorrow's fight.

Tsuna: Why do you always have to kick me?!

Reborn: I was feeling irritated.

Tsuna: Wh-What kind of reason is that?!

Dino: We still have hope, Reborn.

On Screen: ,Sawada

Reborn: Hey.

Reborn: Hey!

Reborn: Rise and shine!

Reborn: Rise and shine!

Reborn: Rise and... shine!

Tsuna: What's your problem?!

Reborn: Time for school.

Main: ,What?

Mom: Tsu-kun, breakfast is almost ready.

Tsuna: Huh?

All: Let's eat!

Tsuna: You know, it was normal to eat breakfast

Tsuna: with everyone like this just a week ago.

Lambo: I'm takin' it!

Ipin: Lambo, you shouldn't take other people's food!

Tsuna: Don't take other people's food!

Reborn: It's your fault for spacing out.

Futa: Big Tsuna places high in the ranking of people

Futa: who get their food stolen.

Tsuna: That ranking doesn't make me happy at all!

Main: ,It can't be helped.

Bianchi: You're so hopeless.

Bianchi: I'll share some of mine.

Bianchi: Here.

Tsuna: I-I can't eat that stuff!

Reborn: You shouldn't be a picky eater, Tsuna.

Bianchi: Come on now, dig in.

Tsuna: Why do I have to go to school today of all days?

Tsuna: You made me skip every other day.

Reborn: It's only natural for a middle-schooler to go to school.

Tsuna: Hah, listen to yourself.

Nana: Have a nice day, you two.

Tsuna: I'm off.

Bianchi: What is it, Mama?

Mom: Isn't he starting to resemble his father?

Bianchi: Him? How do you figure?

Futa: He doesn't look anything like him.

Ipin: Completely denied.

Bianchi: Besides, aren't you still mad about how your husband

Bianchi: left without a word?

Mom: Th-That's right!

Mom: What is it?

Bianchi: Why is your face all red?

Futa: Because Tsuna's mom and dad

Futa: are number one in the loving couple ranking.

Ipin: Love is a beautiful thing.

Mom: You guys...

Mom: Don't tease me.

Bianchi: Her face is even redder.

Tsuna: That's right.

Reborn: What's wrong?

Tsuna: During yesterday's fight, the building was...

Tsuna: This is bad!

Tsuna: It's fixed?

Tsuna: It's fixed!

Tsuna: It's fixed?!

Reborn: It's an illusion.

Tsuna: Huh?

Reborn: Look at the fence.

Tsuna: Who are those people?

Reborn: Cervello illusionists.

Reborn: A bunch of them are in formation

Reborn: to use illusions to cover up the parts

Reborn: that couldn't be repaired in time.

Reborn: Their illusions are also why

Reborn: nearby residents didn't notice any of the

Main: ,explosions during the battle.

Tsuna: So that's why...

GuyA: It's no-good Loser Tsuna!

GuyB: You shouldn't skip school for a whole week.

GuyA: The rest of us have to survive this rough middle school life, you know.

GuyB: You sure have it easy.

Tsuna: Sorry.

Tsuna: I have to get going.

GuyA: What's with him?

GuyB: He hasn't changed at all.

Tsuna: Vongola IX was trying to tell me something.

Kyoko: Good morning, Tsuna-kun.

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuna: Kyoko-chan!

Tsuna: Good morning.

Kyoko: Reborn-kun told me you were here.

Tsuna: He did?

Kyoko: It's true.

Kyoko: Reborn-kun was right.

Tsuna: Huh?

Kyoko: Your face looks like a b*llet train today!

Main: ,Huh?

Tsuna: What?! A b*llet train?!

Kyoko: That's right.

Kyoko: This is for you.

On Screen,Tsuna: Safe Victory

Tsuna: A charm?

Tsuna: Uh, what?!

Tsuna: This is for me?!

Main: ,Yes.

Kyoko: A lot of people have been getting hurt at

Kyoko: your nightly sumo tournament, right?

Tsuna: She still thinks it's a sumo tournament...

Kyoko: Here.

Tsuna: Ah, thanks!

Tsuna: I can't afford to lose the next match.

Kyoko: Huh? What?

Kyoko: Umm... Oh, that's right.

Kyoko: I have some for Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto-kun too.

Tsuna: So it wasn't just for me!

Kyoko: A bunch of us made these charms together.

Tsuna: Huh? Together?

Haru: Tsuna-san!

Tsuna: Haru?!

Kyoko: Hi there, Haru-chan.

Tsuna: Why are you here?

Haru: My classes don't start until noon today.

Haru: So, I snuck in to help pass out the charms!

Tsuna: Snuck in?

Tsuna: Wait, that's a Nami Middle uniform!

Haru: Bianchi-san got it for me!

Bianchi: A simple task compared to my usual job.

Tsuna: You're wearing uniforms too!

Futa: Do I look good, Big Tsuna?

Ipin: I like this uniform.

Tsuna: What if you're found out?!

Bianchi: We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Tsuna: What are you talking about?

Tsuna: This is a problem!

Tsuna: Besides, Bianchi, you don't look anything like a middle-schooler!

Bianchi: What did you say? What are you implying?

Ipin: I'm obviously a middle-schooler.

Tsuna: This is nuts!

Bianchi: What's wrong with you?

Bianchi: You want to waste our good intentions?

Haru: What about me?

Haru: Do I look good?

Tsuna: Give me a break, you guys!

Reborn: Don't forget, Tsuna.

Reborn: You're...

Reborn: You're going to return to this place.

On Screen,Romario: Nakayama Surgery

Romario: We should be able to remove the eye-patch in a few days.

Yamamoto: Really?

Yamamoto: Thanks, old timer!

Romario: Old timer?

Romario: You seem to be improving as well.

Ryohei: Yeah!

Ryohei: Every morning, I eat dried sardines and chug two liters of milk!

Gokudera: Hey...

Romario: Yeah? Every morning?

Ryohei: Every night too!

Gokudera: Hey!

Gokudera: Why am I the only one getting this kind of treatment?!

Romario: We had no choice.

Romario: It's your fault for removing your bandages when you've got cuts all over you.

Gokudera: This is obviously some kind of harassment!

Gokudera: Whoa! Ouch!

Mom: Lambo-kun!

Lambo: Mama?

Lambo: Lambo-san's back in action!

Lambo: I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!

Mom: Lambo-kun, don't move around so much, you're still hurt.

Mom: Lambo-kun!

Lambo: Mama, Lambo-san wants grapes.

Mom: My goodness.

Mom: What a relief.

Mom: And he fell asleep.

Mom: I need to buy some grapes before he wakes up again.

Reborn: And now what you've been waiting for.

Reborn: The horoscope for...

Ipin: ...next week!

Colo: The best three, maggot!
