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, lead 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.
A-Again?!
Japanese Dining Table
Ow...
Looks like it stopped.
It's open.
Target 113 Lightning Strikes Again
If the Vongola really are attacking Merone Base...
Which of Sho-chan's men are useful?
Glo-kun's out of commission.
I'd like to see the 8th Squad's Vice-Captain, Ginger, go for it, but...
He's too unpredictable.
In White Spell, we've got Iris and Vyshana.
Black Spell has Nigella and the Phantom Knight.
The Phantom Knight...
I told him to help Sho-chan, but...
Oh, come to think of it,
there's one other in Japan who's got connections to the Phantom Knight.
Lightning Gamma.
I hope he will fight as hard as his name suggests.
That man...
I could never forget him.
He's...
Lightning Gamma.
Oh hey, kid. Been a while.
Bastard! You survived?
I wondered what all the noise was about. Didn't think it'd be you guys.
What brought you here?
Shut up!
Wait, Octopus head.
Don't stop me.
I owe him one.
How dare you!
I won't ever forgive you guys!
I'll never forget that day...
That loss caused by my own inexperience...
But I'm not who I was then.
This time...
I said calm down.
Don't you find it odd that we'd run into him here?
No way... A trap?
Scary.
I bet you've been squinting at your map, trying to figure out how to destroy the base.
Oh well, you're not the only ones who're surprised.
What?
I was on my way to the command room.
What's that?
The command room I was heading for
should be in the opposite direction of the exhibition hall you invaded.
I thought I'd gotten lost in my own base.
But if I had to guess... This must be Irie's doing.
The weird structure of this base was crafted especially for intruders like you guys.
Weird structure?
What're you blathering about?!
Okay, fine, I'll tell you.
You are guests, after all.
Not only is this base well-camouflaged,
it's composed of square blocks of equal size all
along its length, width and height.
Nearly the entire base has been sectioned off into blocks.
Plus, each floor contains an empty area, which is also a block.
In other words, it's a giant 3D puzzle.
By moving the pieces three-dimensionally, you can place any room wherever you want.
What?
So those black spots were empty areas?
There were a lot of black spots on this floor.
Like whatever's beyond this wall.
Mold growing on a vent?
Is the mold on the vents related to that?
Mold?
Is the active factor of Irie's Sun Ring affecting it?
Either way, this whole base is now his toy box, and he's telling me to defeat them.
Damn, that's pretty annoying.
But I'm thankful for this battle.
Now I can make it up to her.
So you're not going to let us pass, huh?
Not that we'd want to anyway!
Wait, Octopus head.
Shut up!
What are you doing?!
It's a rope made from fortified Deathperation Flames.
It won't be easily broken.
I'll let you out when we're done.
Wha-? No way!
He's one of the six Funeral Wreaths.
Lightning Gamma.
Honestly, you kids should be given a handicap,
but if I helped you and we took him on together,
I couldn't call myself a man.
Leave this to me.
What?
Let me fight him man-to-man!
No.
You've improved, but you still can't beat him.
Oh? Sounds like you think you could beat me.
I'm Ryohei Sasagawa, the Vongola Guardian of the Sun Ring.
Oh? So you're the same old Sun Guardian.
I guess not all of the Guardians time-slipped.
H-How did you know that?
We're gathering information of our own.
I'm sure Irie has even more important information.
I may not have a Vongola Ring, but I have my well-trained fist!
Just so you know,
in my current condition, not even two Kyoya Hibaris
would be enough to defeat me.
You'll leave your rings and your lives here.
Quite the self-confidence.
What makes you think that?
A goddess.
A goddess who smiled upon me.
You've got a hard head.
Sorry.
What's wrong?
The cord got cut.
Gotta repair it.
Repair?
Hey... This Thing...
I like it.
It's a Mini Moska.
Mini Moska?
Cute, huh?
What? O-Oh, yeah it is.
C-Cute?
But what's going on?
I hope everybody's okay.
I should've had spare parts here...
That's strange, where are they?
I could escape now.
Good, she's not hurt.
It's dangerous to stay here.
Let's move.
But which way?
I don't know what's going on, but the map seems useless.
At times like this, you've gotta rely on your intuition.
That's...
Mangaroo!
Hmm? That's the way you fly?
That's quite the unique box.
Here I go...
Maximum Ingram!
Did he get him?
It's okay that you couldn't take out the container.
This room is for training, so it's made out of stronger material.
Now, it's my turn.
Shot Plasma!
It's that attack...
That's the attack Gokudera and Yamamoto told me about, Shot Plasma. In that case...
Now then...
Lightning-type boxes have a hard factor.
There's no point in trying to "activate" them like I did with Vyshana.
Hey, I don't know where you got your ideas...
But that type of dodging isn't fast enough.
Electric Tower!
Turf top!
I'm not the man I was the last time we met, unfortunately.
Kyoko-chan!
Haru-chan!
There you are.
Kyoko, don't walk around by yourself!
Huh?
Everybody stay together!
What's going on?
Reborn-chan told us all to stay together as much as possible.
Did something happen after all?
Like what?
Did something dangerous happen?!
No, just the air in here seems kinda tense...
Hmm?
I don't feel anything.
Yeah... I must be imagining things.
Those are your brother's boxing gloves.
Bad omen!
What junk!
Junk! Haha! Total junk!
Yeah, they're getting pretty old.
But you can feel their history!
It's the proof of a true athlete, soaked with sweat and tears.
Yeah. He always treasured them.
I know! I'll put in new laces and shine them up like new.
Then I'll surprise him with them!
I'm sure he'll love it.
I-Pin will help shine them!
So will Lambo-san!
Thank you.
Okay, let's go!
Quietly... Before he notices.
Found it.
Oh no!
I'll repair it later.
Then, go into hyper mode.
What?!
He knows!
I told you I'd finish your X BURNER.
We'll try it for real.
Huh? No, but...
When I go into hyper mode, I...
I think I could run.
Yeah, and then what?
Our guys are strong.
You'll be killed next time.
Huh?
Spanner's got a point.
If you don't complete the X BURNER, it might be hard from here on out.
I know that!
But there's not much time.
Reborn!
Ciao-su!
When did you...?!
Ah!
Huh?
I'm going through him!
Ah! You...!
It's a hologram.
Huh? A hologram?
Exactly, Spanner.
I'm not real, I'm a 3D image.
Huh?
So you're not really here?
It's a special function that was installed only on your headphones.
A hologram of me that's been taken at the Vongola base is being sent to you.
Wha-?
Now that I look at you, you're kind of transparent.
Actually, I didn't know it had that function.
Because of this function, your earpiece is bigger than everybody else's.
That's right.
I'm very proud of it.
Giannini, you need to tell me these things.
Right...
But Reborn-san said it was better to keep it a secret...
I thought I'd surprise you with it earlier, but...
You don't need to surprise me.
Anyway, the reception was really bad, but it suddenly got better a minute ago.
Did something happen?
Huh?
Oh, that earthquake. You felt it too, right?
Nope.
Huh? Yeah, how are things there?
Okay for the moment.
Glad to hear it.
Stop worrying about the others and worry about yourself.
Huh?
Spanner, how long will it take to complete the X BURNER?
Let me see...
Do you know him?
Nope.
But you've been awfully friendly with him.
Maybe so.
We've been able to hear you
since your capture, though it's a bit noisy at times.
I can tell what kind of guy he is.
But still...!
Besides, if I waited on you, it'd take forever.
You're so slow.
Ah! Now hang on, Reborn!
T-Time out!
Wait! St-Stop!
He's scared of a hologram.
Based on snippets of conversations I heard,
Yamamoto and the group who went to destroy the base have been separated.
Huh? Separated?
The Vongola Guardians of the Sun and Storm Rings have encountered Gamma.
I'm moving control of all electronic systems to this room.
The security cameras will be back online shortly.
We can't use the ring detection system, but that's not a big issue.
We simply need to take them out and retrieve the Vongola Rings one-by-one.
Hi!
It's another episode of everyone's favorite "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
Today's guest is someone I know well.
Yes, it's Tsuna-san's reliable Big Brother,
the 10th boss of the Chiavarone Family, Dino-san!
Yo!
I heard you want to interview me.
Ask me anything.
Wow, he's so friendly, unlike everybody else!
Yes!
I've been wanting to do something like this...
And I'm happy to make you happy.
Eek! His smile is so bright too.
You never change, Dino.
Hey, Reborn. It's been a while.
So you two know each other.
Yeah, guess so.
Is something wrong?
I know everything about him.
Ah! Wait, wait!
What horrible things are you going to reveal?
We'll see.
You're really good friends!
Y-Yeah, I guess...
By the way, I've been wondering...
Are those your subordinates?
Huh? Ah!
What are you guys doing?
I told you not to follow me.
Jeez... Sorry.
They were worried I'd do something dumb.
They've always been overprotective.
All your subordinates really respect you, huh?
I can see why Tsuna-san looks up to you so much!
Y-You think?
He's acting cool now, but he was a crybaby loser not that long ago.
Like this.
Eek!
What?
I-I told you not to reveal that, Reborn!
A-Are you okay, Dino-san?!
I guess he's no good without his men around after all.
U-Um, our guest is gone,
so we'll see you again next week on "Haru's Haru-Haru Dangerous Interviews!"
Maybe I'll train him all over again.
Eek?
Next time:
The Storm Guardian, Stands.
