07x172 - Kikyo's as*ault

[bunniefuu]

Reborn: The Choice battle between Tsuna's team

Reborn: and the real six Funeral Wreaths has begun.

Reborn: The targets are Daisy and Shoichi Irie.

Reborn: The side whose target marker is extinguished first will lose.

Tsuna: Let's do this, Na-Tsu.

Tsuna: Na-Tsu.

Tsuna: Cambio Forma Modo Difesa.

Tsuna: Thank you, Na-Tsu.

Tsuna: Now it's my turn.

Tori: Pitiful one...

Tsuna: That'd be you.

Tsuna: Don't need to hold back...

Tsuna: against a monster.

Reborn: One of the real six Funeral Wreaths, Torikabuto, was defeated by Tsuna.

Yamamoto: Rainy Metamorphosis!

On Screen: ,Rainy Metamorphosis

Phantom: Curse you, impudent fool!

Phantom: Takeshi Yamamoto!

Phantom: Where have you run off to?!

Phantom: My own sword att*cks are getting in the way!

Phantom: I don't have enough power after splitting up!

Phantom: Where are you, Takeshi Yamamoto?!

Yamamoto: It's true that I lost to you once before...

Yamamoto: But that was because of my inexperience.

Yamamoto: My old man's Shigure Soen Ryu

Yamamoto: has always been perfect and its power is second to none!

Phantom: Attacking from the front?

Phantom: Fool.

Phantom: Fast!

Phantom: No, that's not it.

Phantom: He isn't fast!

Phantom: My movements have become slow!

Phantom: Curses! Rain flames from my swings have latched onto me!

Yamamoto: Shigure Soen Ryu.

Yamamoto: Offensive stance .

Reborn: Yamamoto also won his rematch with the Phantom Knight.

On Screen: ,Pouring Rain

Reborn: However, the Phantom Knight was...

Phantom: L-Lord Byakuran would never abandon me!

Phantom: Kikyo! You tricked me!

Blue: Listen to what he's saying.

Byaku: He always jumps to conclusions.

Byaku: Phanny's done an excellent job.

Byaku: Considering his simple mind...

Byaku: But I've lost interest, so he gets dropped.

Phantom: I stand with Lord Byakuran!

Yamamoto: Phantom Knight!

Irie: This is the true nature of our enemy, the Millefiore...

Irie: Of Byakuran-san!

Tsuna: Let's win.

Tsuna: The stuff about saving the world and ³ Policy didn't affect me personally,

Tsuna: but it's clear that Byakuran's doing terrible things to everyone!

Irie: Okay, let's rush them!

Irie: We win if we defeat their target first!

Irie: At the moment, it's five versus two, us.

Irie: Numerically speaking, we can defeat their target

: -to- much faster than they can defeat our target -to-.

Irie: And the enemy attacker, Kikyo, is still distracted by the decoys

Irie: and unaware of my position.

Basil: This is...

Dino: A perfect chance.

Irie: Gokudera-kun should remain on defense!

Irie: Tsunayoshi-kun and Yamamoto-kun should

Irie: head straight for the target through the air!

All: Yeah!

Daisy: Th-This is bad!

Reborn: We can't afford to lose this Choice battle, Tsuna.

Reborn: att*ck them with one final push!

EpTitle: Target Kikyo's as*ault

Kyoko: Here, Dino-san.

Dino: Oh, thank you...

Bianchi: How does it look?

Ryohei: Yeah, we're on the offensive!

Lambo: Go! Go!

Ryohei: Chance for a knockout! Hit him with one final mega-blow!

Ryohei: Extreme rush, rush!

Kyoko: Tsuna-kun, Yamamoto-kun, do your best.

Haru: Please win!

Irie: From here,

Irie: you no longer need to ride the stealth bikes and hide from the radar.

Irie: Tsunayoshi-kun and Yamamoto-kun should follow

: the navigation system in your contacts and head towards the target.

Both: Roger that!

Kikyo: Another decoy pretending to be Irie's target marker.

Kikyo: It appears that there are many more left.

Daisy: Kikyo...

Daisy: I've got enemies coming my way.

Daisy: This is bad!

Daisy: I'm in check, aren't I?

Kikyo: O-ho? You don't get it, Daisy.

: Huh?

Kikyo: This Choice battle is a ceremony to crown Lord Byakuran as king of the new world.

Kikyo: Lord Byakuran is sick of flawless victories.

Kikyo: We are simply producing a pretend dire situation to entertain him.

Kikyo: Of course, Lord Byakuran probably knows exactly what I'm thinking.

Kikyo: It's finally showtime, Lord Byakuran.

Spanner: Something's wrong...

Irie: What is it, Spanner?

Spanner: The Vongola is heading away from the target.

Irie: Huh?

Irie: You're right.

Irie: Tsunayoshi-kun, what's wrong?

Irie: You're veering off course.

Tsuna: That can't be right.

Tsuna: I'm following the navigation system.

Tsuna: This is...

Tsuna: I feel like I've been going around in circles.

Irie: Wha-?!

Irie: Th-The contact broke down now of all times?

Yamamoto: That must be it.

Yamamoto: I can see the Millefiore base unit.

Yamamoto: Is it okay for me to att*ck?

Irie: Hold on, Yamamoto-kun.

Irie: Something's wrong with Tsunayoshi-kun's contact.

Irie: We're sending him new data to repair it, so standby for now.

Yamamoto: Okay.

Kyoko: Did something happen?

Haru: I hope it's nothing.

Dino: As expected, it won't be so simple to win this game.

Spanner: Shoichi, check the radar!

Spanner: Our decoys are being destroyed at an incredible rate.

Spanner: Only six are left.

Irie: What did you say?!

Irie: It must be that Kikyo man's doing!

Irie: Fast...

Irie: At this rate, he'll find us in no time!

Irie: Why now?

Irie: I have a bad feeling about this.

Irie: We need to hurry!

Irie: Yamamoto-kun!

Irie: Commence your att*ck on the target after all!

Irie: We'll send Tsunayoshi-kun there soon!

Yamamoto: Okay!

Yamamoto: Here I go!

Spanner: Another one taken out...

Spanner: Only three decoys left...

Kikyo: O-ho.

Spanner: Kikyo is less than two kilometers away from here!

Irie: Gokudera-kun, can you hear me?

Irie: Kikyo has advanced past our line of defense and he's getting closer!

Gokudera: Yeah.

Gokudera: I can faintly see explosions.

Irie: We simply need to defeat their target before they defeat ours.

Irie: Try to hold him off until Yamamoto and Tsuna take out the target!

Gokudera: I don't need you to tell me that.

Gokudera: Before he can get one step past me...

Gokudera: I'll defeat him for sure.

Irie: Gokudera-kun, can you hear me?

Irie: Kikyo has advanced past our line of defense and he's getting closer!

Gokudera: Yeah.

Gokudera: I can faintly see explosions.

Irie: We simply need to defeat their target before they defeat ours.

Irie: Try to hold him off until Yamamoto and Tsuna take out the target!

Gokudera: I don't need you to tell me that.

Gokudera: Before he can get one step past me...

Gokudera: I'll defeat him for sure.

Haru: This is not good for the heart.

Kyoko: So Tsuna-kun and everyone were always doing such incredible things...

Kyoko: Now I can understand why Tsuna-kun didn't want to tell me or Haru-chan.

Bianchi: They've always been working as hard as they can.

Bianchi: As they are now, and will continue to do so.

Ryohei: Damn it!

Ryohei: Watching and not being able to do anything is so frustrating!

Reborn: Calm down, Ryohei.

Reborn: We all feel that way.

Kyoko: O-ho!

Gokudera: He's fast!

Kyoko: O-ho!

Gokudera: Uri!

Squalo: Don't look away!

Bianchi: Hayato!

Gokudera: Bastard!

Squalo: Yeah!

Ryohei: Nice one, Octopus head!

Goku: Uri!

Gokudera: You did well to hang in there!

Gokudera: Great work, Uri!

Gokudera: Ow!

Lambo: It bit him!

Dino: That may be Uri's way of expressing affection.

Haru: H-How complex.

Gokudera: I won't let you pass.

Kikyo: That may be your intention,

Kikyo: but I will head for the target, Shoichi Irie.

Gokudera: Don't underestimate me!

Gokudera: Or my five waves...

Gokudera: Or my new SISTEMA C.A.I.!

Gokudera: What the hell?!

Basil: Something's keeping his boxes shut!

Basil: He won't be able to open them!

Reborn: Gokudera's Vongola Boxes are an extension of SISTEMA C.A.I.

Reborn: His Vongola Boxes are as good as sealed.

Kikyo: O-ho.

Kikyo: Excuse me.

Gokudera: Ah, bastard! You're gonna run?!

Kikyo: It would be a waste of time.

Kikyo: You aren't the target.

Basil: He ran off without fighting!

Reborn: Since the target is Irie.

Gokudera: Damn it! He got past me!

Gokudera: Sorry, Irie.

Irie: Roger that.

Irie: But I'm sure it'll be fine.

Irie: We just finished

Irie: fixing Tsunayoshi-kun's navigation system.

Gokudera: Damn it!

Gokudera: Forgive me, boss!

Spanner: Now the Vongola and Yamamoto can both att*ck the target.

Irie: They can defeat the target before Kikyo makes it here.

Tsuna: No.

Irie: Is that Tsunayoshi-kun?

Tsuna: The navigation system isn't broken.

Irie: Wh-What was that?!

Gokudera: What do you mean, boss?

Irie: What did you just say, Tsunayoshi-kun?

Spanner: The navigation system isn't malfunctioning?

Tsuna: Something's wrong.

Tsuna: What is this odd sensation?

Spanner: Shoichi!

Irie: What's wrong?

Spanner: I'm getting an abnormal flame reading in the . km radius

Spanner: around the Vongola!

Spanner: What is this distortion?

Torikabuto: Pitiful one...

Tsuna: That guy...

Irie: Tsunayoshi-kun! What's happening?!

Irie: Give us your situation!

Tsuna: It's Torikabuto.

Irie: Huh?

Tsuna: I didn't defeat him yet!

Tsuna: I'm probably...

Tsuna: caught in his illusion right now.

Basil: Torikabuto's?!

Reborn: This is bad. He needs to get out of there,

Reborn: or we'll lose the two-to-one advantage.

Squalo: Stop wasting time and take out the target!

Daisy: He's here!

Yamamoto: This should finish it!

Dino: A barrier?

Daisy: Huh? Kikyo?

Kikyo: O-ho.

Kikyo: It's the only emergency device on our simplistic base unit.

Kikyo: A barrier which responds to charged flame energy.

Kikyo: It should be able to hold even the swordsman who

Kikyo: defeated the Phantom Knight for two minutes.

Yamamoto: It's so hard!

Kikyo: And two minutes

Kikyo: is more than enough time to defeat Shoichi Irie.

Spanner: Yamamoto has been impeded by an enemy barrier just before reaching the target.

Irie: This won't be a straightforward match after all.

Irie: But Yamamoto-kun reached the enemy target before Kikyo got here.

Irie: I'm sure he'll defeat his target first.

Spanner: Kikyo's approaching!

Spanner: Distance: !

Irie: How many of the interceptor laser traps have been installed?

Spanner: % installed and ready.

Spanner: Laser trap system has acquired the target.

Irie: Okay! Fire the lasers!

Spanner: A direct hit by the lasers!

Spanner: Output at %!

Irie: Come on...

Kikyo: O-ho, you expected that to work?

Spanner: Interceptor laser traps wiped out.

Irie: He's coming!

Irie: We need to buy as much time as we can!

Irie: Shift the base to mobile mode!

Irie: Deploy the continuous track vehicle.

: Got it.

Tsuna: How's the Vongola base?

Tsuna: What's going on over there?

Irie: Is that you, Tsunayoshi-kun?

Tsuna: Yeah.

Irie: Kikyo will soon be right before our eyes.

Irie: He's destroyed the last of our traps. Our only option is to retreat.

Tsuna: What?

Irie: How are things over there?

Tsuna: Not good.

Tsuna: I tried breaking out of this space at a super-fast speed,

Tsuna: but I've been unable to escape, and Torikabuto hasn't shown himself.

Tsuna: I'm assuming that his goal is to delay me.

Tsuna: I won't be able to reach the target at this rate.

Irie: Damn it!

Irie: So the Millefiore's strategy was superior?!

Spanner: Kikyo's approaching.

Spanner: Distance: !

Kikyo: O-ho.

Reborn: Ciao-su.

Reborn: Will Yamamoto break through the barrier first,

Reborn: or will Kikyo corner Shoichi first?

Reborn: This has turned into a battle against the clock.

Reborn: And Tsuna hasn't found a way out of that illusionary space.

Reborn: Shoichi is desperately making use of the base unit's facilities to resist,

Reborn: but Kikyo is drawing near.

Reborn: Next time on Reborn:

Reborn: Choice Ends.

Reborn: Watch like your life depends on it.

: See you next time!
