Spin the gears right when I say Choice.
Choice.
And it's decided.
The participants in the battle.
In that case, Tsunayoshi-kun,
our lineup is settled.
The participating Vongola members will be as follows:
Sky will be Tsunayoshi-kun.
Storm will be Gokudera-kun.
Rain will be Yamamoto-kun.
Null element will be represented by Spanner and me.
Then I'll introduce the participating members from the Millefiore side now.
Cloud will be the ever-reliable and kind leader
of the real six Funeral Wreaths, Kikyo.
O-ho.
Sun will be the zombie who lives to kill, Daisy.
Mist will be the phantom giant bringer of truth, Torikabuto.
The other Mist player
is already here.
One of Torikabuto's men.
Saru.
Well then...
We're finally getting to the rules of victory.
The Target rules.
T-Target rules?
A very simple set of rules.
Both sides select one person to become the enemy's target.
When a target is defeated, that side loses.
The Millefiore's target is Daisy.
The Vongola's target is Sho-chan.
Target 169 Sky Lion: Leone di Cielo ver. Vongola
N-No way...
Don't worry.
This is what we want.
If we defeat Shoichi Irie first, we win.
If you defeat Daisy first, you win.
That's simple enough.
I like it.
Yep.
It's complex because it's so simple.
It's just as Spanner says.
What is this?
Shoichi-kun! There are flames coming from your chest!
That's the target marker.
The target lights a fire on his chest
so he can be discerned from the other players.
And it's proof that the target hasn't been defeated and is still alive.
Can't get it off...
That's impossible, Sho-chan.
You won't be able to remove it until the battle's over.
Wait, Byakuran.
If the Deathperation Flames, powered by life energy, as so big,
they'll collapse in no time.
They might even die.
That will be the time limit for this battle, yeah?
I see.
Whatever the reason, you lose when the target marker disappears.
How awful...
It's fine. Let's begin.
Shoichi-kun!
Don't push yourself.
They just said that you might die!
The same goes for our enemy.
Besides, I won't do this with a victim mentality!
I'm the reason Byakuran-san ended up this way!
I can't escape!
Oh? That's how you feel...
Oh well.
As I said before, the prizes in this grand game of Choice are...
All of the Mare Rings...
All of the Vongola Rings...
And all of the Arcobaleno pacifiers.
In other words,
the keys to creating a new world. What I seek most...
7³ Policy.
The start of a battle to determine the fate of the world.
Pretty flashy opening ceremony you got here.
Fits you scum perfectly.
Let's get started.
Whoa, but first.
I'll introduce the neutral referees.
Referees?
Allow us to handle this.
Y-You're...
Aren't they Cervello?!
I heard from Shoichi that they ended up with the Millefiore at some point.
Who are you people?
We are the Millefiore Cervello Agency.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Millefiore Cervello?
Don't give us that crap!
Either way, you'd be referees from the enemy side!
These girls will be fair judges.
That's their only worth.
Besides, aren't you guys the ones cheating?
Huh?
I must praise you for concealing 99.99% of your presence,
but we can sense the remaining .01% of a person from your base unit.
Bah.
Isn't that Squalo?
Oh, you came?
Got a problem with that?
Thanks.
Don't be ridiculous, stupid kid!
I snuck in here to crash the party!
That's all.
I'll split you in half if you give me any crap!
And you, hologram of Reborn.
There is no non-7³ Policy here.
It's safe for you to leave your base unit.
I see.
Pretty considerate of you, Byakuran.
Then the members participating in this game of Choice
should enter their respective base units.
You will be teleported to a random position on the battlefield.
Teleported?
Locating the enemy base and devising a plan of attack
is part of the strategy in Choice.
A spectator area has been prepared for the members who aren't participating.
You will need to stay there until Choice is over.
It'll be fine. You don't need to worry.
Y-Yes.
Spectators are not allowed to communicate with the participants.
Spectators will only receive video from various cameras,
our voices, and audio from participants on your side,
so keep that in mind.
Furthermore, the spectator area is completely shielded by a barrier,
but any attack against the spectator area will be considered a violation
and result in an automatic loss.
Which means we can relax and focus on fighting, boss.
Yeah...
Then we'll begin in three minutes.
Please get ready.
Put this through here...
And then like this.
Like this?
Man...
Learn how to tie a tie, baseball freak!
Not my fault.
I never wear suits.
It's knowledge every man should have!
I couldn't do it either...
What's up?
They've sent us a map.
Map?
This appears to be the south-eastern area.
Buildings of all sizes in the area and plenty of obstructions to vision.
I see. Not too bad...
Shoichi-kun, are you okay?
Yeah, you don't need to worry.
Anyway, how do you like the base I made?
I was amazed by how nice it is.
How were you able to build it in such a short time?
Three minutes have passed.
Is each Family ready for combat?
In that case...
Choice Battle, start!
I'm so antsy...
Can't sit in a bright place for very long...
You are the king we must protect, Daisy.
You simply need to sit and wait.
Okay...
We've located Shoichi Irie's target marker.
The Vongola base unit should also be at this position.
O-ho, let's get going then.
Vongola!
Fight!
Yeah!
I'm psyched up.
Haven't felt so down in a while.
Guess it isn't a Japanese thing then.
Huh?
Anyway, for our strategy...
We can only locate the enemy position through the Flame radar.
So Spanner and I will stay here,
analyze the data and tell you what to do,
so the rest of you split up on offense and defense.
Stop ignoring the boss and barking orders!
I think that's fine.
Shoichi-kun knows everything there is to know about Choice.
I-If the boss says so...
He doesn't look happy.
Can I continue then?
Based on your fighting styles,
I believe it would be best to put Gokudera-kun on defense,
and have Tsunayoshi-kun and Yamamoto-kun attack the enemy.
I-I'm on defense?!
If your defense isn't good enough,
you'll end up losing, no matter how many points you score.
Stop comparing everything to baseball, baseball freak!
Gokudera-kun, we're counting on you.
Yes! Of course!
I won't let the enemy lay a finger on him!
Okay, let's go.
Yeah.
Vongola Base prepared for combat level one.
Systems all green.
Ready, everyone?
We're okay to go.
There are many buildings surrounding us,
making it difficult to see.
The contest may be riding on how fast we can find the enemy's location.
Understood.
Open up already.
Okay, I'm removing the sheet.
Sawada's, Yamamoto's, and Gokudera's bikes are standby for launch.
Lock released.
Course is clear.
Opening gate.
Launching all units!
Wow!
This is nothing like the Mafia fight I was expecting!
That's a two-cycle engine, right?
Quiet as an electric bike.
All thanks to the highly advanced silencer I invented.
Those airbikes won't be picked up by flame or metal sensors.
Ninja-like stealth machines that can sneak up
on the enemy without being detected.
So the Millefiore won't know where the guys are.
They'll need to take advantage of that.
Finished analyzing the composition of the flames used in the target marker.
Okay, we'll use that data to broadcast a decoy.
Data received.
Copying to decoy machine.
Opening upper launch tubes.
Finished copying.
Ready for launch.
Commence hovering of aerial decoys.
Master Kikyo!
Shoichi Irie's target market has multiplied and dispersed.
O-ho, decoys, huh?
Most likely.
He may be a traitor,
but Shoichi Irie is still the man who created Choice with Lord Byakuran.
It appears that he has brains, at least.
How do you wish to deal with them?
Destroy them all.
Yes, sir!
Enemies detected on radar.
They're headed towards the decoys, at 3 o'clock.
Just as we expected.
So they intend to crush them one-by-one.
Okay. Gokudera-kun, stand by at your current position.
Tsunayoshi-kun should also stop.
Launch the dummy, Tsunayoshi-kun!
Dummy launched.
Okay, evasive pattern F.
Attack once the enemy is in sight.
Roger that.
Amazing...
It's like Master Irie is on the battlefield in person.
He should only be seeing flame readings on his monitor...
He wasn't head of Merone Base for nothing.
Shoichi gets the job done when he sets his mind to it.
Yamamoto-kun should turn left after one block,
then move three blocks to the intersection.
Use intercept pattern B.
Got it.
Enemy to the Vongola's right.
Can you hear us, Tsunayoshi-kun?
You'll make contact with the enemy in five seconds.
Roger that.
3.
2.
1.
A new flame reading?
Torikabuto, behind you!
Too late.
Tsuna-kun!
Eek! He's flying!
Okay! That did it!
The building isn't damaged...
The skyscrapers in a Lightning arena,
are coated with the hard factor of Lightning
and twenty times harder than normal buildings.
If you crash into one at a high speed,
it will feel like
hitting the ground after falling off one of those buildings.
This can't be...
Simpleton...
These are...
Sea snakes!
A ghost...
Lambo-chan!
Are they illusions?
But illusions wouldn't appear on the monitor.
You didn't know, stupid kid?
Huh?
Strong illusions are able to fool machines.
And this guy's combining illusion with a Box Weapon.
He must be highly skilled.
Weakling...
Torikabuto's "eyes of truth"
are analyzing Tsunayoshi-kun's true nature.
It's coming!
Those are Lighting-class flames.
They pierced that hardened building!
I saw a faint trace of Lightning-class hard flames on the sea snakes.
Probably as strong as anti-tank rifle shells.
Even though he's a Mist illusionist?
That illusionist, Torikabuto,
can use different types of Flames the way Gokudera can...
Don't stand there stunned, Tsuna!
Mystic Illusion...
Repe Serpente di Mare.
Repe Serpente di Mare...
A grid of sea snakes?!
He won't be able to escape!
He's up against sea snakes that can destroy buildings!
At this rate...
Tsuna-kun...
They're pressing closer...
Na-Tsu.
Got it.
I'm counting on you.
Leone di Cielo ver. Vongola!
The Sky Lion, ver. Vongola!
That is Master Sawada's...
Wow, that's Tsuna-kun's Box Weapon!
So cute!
What I would expect from Tsuna.
A Sky-class lion, just like our damn boss.
But they're very different.
Thought so.
Using the Sun-class harmony factor to petrify them?
This is over.
From inside the building!
Tsuna-san!
This is bad! He can't dodge them all!
They'll get him!
Not yet.
Let's do this, Na-Tsu.
Did you see the end of Tsuna's training?
Nope, I was busy.
Then I was the only one who was watching.
Na-Tsu.
Cambio Forma Modo Difesa.
M-Master Sawada...
Damn it...
Tsuna...
With the Vongola boxes,
the box animals themselves become weapons.
They're Box Weapons that were specially modified by the Vongola.
Weapons?
That's right. Tsuna just...
Na-Tsu.
Cambio Forma Modo Difesa.
A form change to a defensive mode?
Does that mean...
And those weapons are from the original Vongola Family.
In the case of Tsuna's Leone di Cielo, it takes the form...
of the sky which shines onto all and envelops all,
Vongola I's cloak, Mantello di Vongola Primo!
Ciao-su.

of someone whose fate was intertwined with Yamamoto's.
