I'll... I'll destroy the Vongola!
I accept your resolve firmly.
You will now inherit the mark of the Vongola.
X Glove ver. Vongola Ring.
We've all been sent ten years into the future.
To return to the past, we've spent our days in desperate combat.
And to protect everyone from the Millefiore Family, led by Byakuran,
we decided to go on the offensive.
So we've struck Merone Base, where Shoichi Irie is.
But Reborn can't leave our base...
Hibari-san is facing the Millefiore's assault force alone...
Lal Mirch lost consciousness after her battle...
And I...
I'll end this.
X BURNER: Air!
I left my group to act as bait, but I was captured by the enemy.
Watch out!
He can't move! It's over.
Manny!
He's... flying!
Oh? You can fly?
The ability to fly will not change your fate!
It's finally time.
I've been waiting for this.
With only two fists, you cannot block both Serpe Tempesta's wall of flames
and the eight simultaneous attacks of the CV Tempesta.
Target 110 The Secret of Merone Base
All at once?
He can't dodge them all!
Farewell, Vongola Guardian of the Sun Ring!
I-Impossible... He took out all of the CV Tempesta?
There's no way!
Bastard, what did you do?!
He didn't even touch them...
It's like the stag beetles' flames self-destructed!
Yup, Octopus head.
Their flames were thrown out of control by the sun flame's active factor.
Active factor?
That sent them out of control?
But I didn't even see your attack...
This is absurd!
Back then?
Was it back then?!
You got it.
I beat your stag beetles a long time ago.
And the reason I'm flying is to take out you and the Tsuchinoko.
The system is 12% back online.
How much longer will it take?
We're doing everything we can to get the system back online.
However, the damage is greater than first estimated.
We're practically crippled in this state!
Prioritize recovery of the labs.
Yes, sir!
What of Vyshana and the Phantom Knight? Can we contact them?
Still offline.
We let the Vongola in, and now look at this mess...
But Spanner took out Vongola X...
Just find the other Vongola!
Yes, sir! We'll do everything we can.
If they get near that block...
Vyshana, prepare yourself!
If you think you've won, you are a fool!
What?
Serpe Tempesta!
Serpe Tempesta is no mere snake!
Man, it's fast!
Well, duh, it's a Tsuchinoko.
Haven't you ever read the Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures?
No, I'm not really into that stuff.
Tsuchinoko are actually excellent jumpers.
In a way, you could say their specialty is air combat!
I can't believe I get to see one in the flesh!
Um, Gokudera?
Ah! Y-Yeah, this is bad...
Oh no!
Senpai!
My brother's gloves!
I still have them!
It takes me back...
Ryohei...
Whoa...
Nice punch.
It's futile.
The speed of Serpe Tempesta's revolutions completely outclasses your punches!
And the faster it spins, the more damage it inflicts!
You cannot possibly succeed.
A corkscrew?
He's not going to dodge?
Your life ends here!
It's useless!
What?!
I countered your corkscrew with my own!
A counter?
H-He's s-strong!
Wait! Vyshana!
Irie-sama, incoming message from Vyshana.
You located him?
Where is he?
The exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall? Open a channel.
I request aid!
What?!
I request...
The enemy?
They're already at the exhibition hall?
Vyshana!
I...request...aid...
The transmission was cut off.
Damn. You said the exhibition hall, right?
Where's Nigella?
No word yet.
What is everyone doing?
The Phantom Knight is still unreachable as well.
Isn't there anyone else?
Yes, sir. I'm checking...
This is bad!
There are no allies in the vicinity!
What?!
Irie-sama...
This is bad... Very bad...
At this rate, they'll reach the lab!
Vyshana, where are you going?
You're not going to abandon your Box Weapon, are you?
S-Silence!
It's none of your concern!
Loser...
It's too late to escape.
Watch out!
Behind you!
Serpe Tempesta!
Poor thing.
Still loyal to the master who abandoned you?
I won't kill you.
Instead, why don't you rest with your master for a while?
Here I go!
Extreme...
Maximum Ingram!
Extreme Maximum Ingram
H-Halt!
I wish for my life...
Man, Senpai is strong!
And Vyshana's a wuss.
All right, let's keep going.
U-Um...
Um, hello?
Can't he hear me?
No! I won't move... I won't move, okay?!
You can pour your own tea.
Oh, thanks...
Wait, I wasn't asking for tea!
Um, excuse me?
May I ask you something?
Um, excuse me?
No good, huh?
I don't know what this Spanner guy is thinking...
But he doesn't seem like a bad person.
We still can't contact Big Tsuna?
Not yet.
I think it's due to their location,
as well as some minor adjustments needed on our side.
There's no point in panicking.
Yeah.
Where's Reborn?
He went for a walk.
I-Pin-chan, the trick to the ribbon is all in the wrist.
See!
Oh, the wrist, is it?
Pathetic...
Look, look! Lambo-san can do acrobatics.
It's not acrobatics, it's gymnastics!
Watch me!
Ouch!
Help, immediately!
Eek! You both need more practice.
Wait, hold on.
Looks like fun.
Oh! Care to join us, Reborn?
Exercise does a body good.
Sorry, I'm busy.
But why are you playing in the training room?
Huh?
There are other open spaces.
Tsuna-san and the others trained here, right? So...
When I'm here, I feel close to him.
Um, excuse me?
Everyone's waiting for me.
I can't stay here forever.
What is it?
Um, what's everyone... What's going on outside?
Outside?
Do you know anything about the people I came with?
Also, I don't understand what you said earlier.
Why didn't you kill me?
Why are you trying to perfect my special move?
You're with the Millefiore, right?
Why would you...
Don't ask so many questions.
Huh?
Sorry.
Like I said, I'm helping you perfect your move because I want to see it firsthand.
And the reason I didn't kill you was because it didn't feel right.
Through a monitor is one thing, but finishing off a person who's right in front of you...
It was just too real. I couldn't do it.
What are you saying?!
Killing is wrong, whether it's behind a monitor or not!
S-Sorry. It's a bad habit of mine, so I just...
By outside, you mean outside this room?
Y-Yeah.
No idea.
Shoichi's causing a commotion, I guess.
Huh?
Sh-Shoichi?
You mean Shoichi Irie?
Pipe down.
R-Right, sorry!
I'll be quiet.
You're too loud.
So Shoichi Irie's really here.
Really close.
But if you're after Shoichi, you should give up.
Huh?
I've known him since the International Robotics Competition back in high school.
He's sharp.
He's always looking at the bigger picture; it's impressive.
Irie-sama, are you going to use it?
Is there a problem?
From what we saw, Vyshana was most likely defeated.
Once they reach the research lab, it'll be too late.
The only ones privy to this secret are you, Byakuran-sama, and ourselves.
If you do this, the other squads,
especially Black Spell, are sure to object.
That's insignificant compared to what we'll lose if we do nothing.
This is the only good course of action.
If you use it, any functions subsequently put into place will be paralyzed.
Are you objecting, then?
No.
Your orders are absolute.
Flattery aside, I'm happy to hear it.
But you said we lost contact with the Japan branch!
If it's due to an enemy attack, we've no time to lose!
It's all right.
I'm not comfortable with White Spell being responsible for that base.
Please entrust the battle to Black Spell...
That's not something for you to concern yourself with.
But...
Sho-chan will be able to handle it.
He's been saving a box for something like this.
This leads to the next block.
At this rate, we'll be done soon.
Yeah, thanks to the boss drawing the enemies away!
Hurry, they may have laid a trap.
All right!
While a foreseeable outcome,
I didn't expect to be able to use the function I begged Byakuran-san
to allow me to install so soon.
Let's begin.
Now, my box, awaken...
Merone Base!
Flame energy has entered the bypass of each block.
Starting up the mobile block.
What?
It's an earthquake!
All facilities have been restored in the research lab's vicinity.
New cameras are online.
You've had your fun, Vongola rats.
But now it's time for your Vongola Rings to be hunted!
Hey!
It's another episode of everyone's favorite "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
Today's guest is very strong and incredibly cute!
Romario!
Eek!
No!
Sorry.
Then who is it?
When I say strong and cute, of course I mean...
I-Pin-chan, come on down!
I was just bringing someone their dinner, so why am I here?
Eek! Why is it a ramen delivery girl instead of I-Pin-chan?
This is bad.
I need to bring this ramen to Mr. Kawahira.
What is this?
Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews...
I see.
Well, I've gotta deliver this food.
W-Wait!
And so, today's guest is this ramen delivery girl!
Ni-hao!
Let's get started!
You're always delivering food to Mr. Kawahira, aren't you?
What's he like?
Wow, you're going after a mystery nobody's ever touched before.
But, but, don't you want to know?!
Mr. Kawahira...
Eek! At last, the greatest mystery of our time shall be revealed!
He likes soy ramen.
No, that's not what I meant...
Seems he likes salt ramen too.
He orders one every other day.
That's not...
Miso ramen too.
Once every three days or so.
Does he only eat ramen, then?
Not at all. Every fourth day, he gets cold Chinese noodles.
Same thing...
On that rotation, he eats nothing but ramen!
So really, what's he like?
Um, well, Mr. Kawahira's...
Oh no, I've gotta run!
But the interview's not over yet...
He gets mad if his ramen gets cold.
And there you have it.
We didn't solve the mystery at all!
Nothing new there.
No...
Next time, my interview will succeed!
That's all for "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
We'll see you again next week!
Next time:
The Enemy is Octopus Head.
