Something's wrong.
What is this odd sensation?
Shoichi!
What's wrong?
I'm getting an abnormal flame reading in the 1.5 km radius
around the Vongola!
What is this distortion?
Pitiful one...
It's Torikabuto.
Huh?
I didn't defeat him yet!
I'm probably...
caught in his illusion right now.
He's here!
This should finish it!
A barrier?
O-ho.
It's the only emergency device on our simplistic base unit.
A barrier which responds to charged flame energy.
It should be able to hold even the swordsman who
defeated the Phantom Knight for two minutes.
It's so hard!
And two minutes
is more than enough time to defeat Shoichi Irie.
He's coming!
We need to buy as much time as we can!
Shift the base to mobile mode!
Deploy the continuous track vehicle.
Got it.
How's the Vongola base?
What's going on over there?
Is that you, Tsunayoshi-kun?
Yeah.
Kikyo will soon be right before our eyes.
He's destroyed the last of our traps. Our only option is to retreat.
What?
How are things over there?
Not good.
I tried breaking out of this space at a super-fast speed,
but I've been unable to escape, and Torikabuto hasn't shown himself.
I'm assuming that his goal is to delay me.
I won't be able to reach the target at this rate.
Damn it!
So the Millefiore's strategy was superior?!
Kikyo's approaching.
Distance: 300!
O-ho.
Target 173 Choice Ends
O-ho, think you can run away?
Approaching fast from behind.
He's going to catch up at this rate.
What should we do, Shoichi?
The decoys have been shot down and the lasers don't work.
What's left?
Distance: 270!
At this point, we can only try to run as far as we can!
I know...
Distance: 200!
O-ho, like a sluggish turtle.
Shoichi Irie...
A pathetic showing for a former friend of Lord Byakuran.
Damn it!
Waiting for the very last second to dodge my attack.
You have guts.
But it won't work a second time.
A smokescreen...
Sho-chan, you're working hard.
Idjit, they're terribly mistaken if they think they can escape.
As long as the target marker burns on his chest,
it's simple to determine where he is.
You won't get away, Sho-chan.
A smokescreen...
That's a classic tactic.
But the enemy also has a Flame radar.
It won't last...
For long...
Shoichi is well aware of that.
We don't need to defeat Kikyo.
All we need is time.
Every second we buy counts...
Distance to Kikyo has extended to 320.
Continue to run.
Doesn't matter if the engine burns out.
I'm sure that Yamamoto-kun will defeat Daisy in the meantime.
This is so hard!
He still can't break through?!
What are you doing, Yamamoto?!
Calm down, Ryohei.
This barrier was the only defense the Millefiore prepared.
It won't be simple to deal with.
Yeah, but...
Will Master Irie be caught by the enemy first,
or will Master Yamamoto defeat Daisy first?
Pull yourself together, Yamamoto!
Get extremely fired up!
That fool...
What is he doing?
If only Master Sawada were with him...
Yeah, if he were with Yamamoto,
they would have broken through that barrier immediately.
That's why they went after Tsuna and held him up.
Tsuna-kun...
I have to use my other senses instead of relying on my eyes.
There must...
There must be a way out somewhere.
Foolish one...
Pitiful one...
Torikabuto?!
There is no escape.
You shall wander through infinite darkness.
There is no escape.
There is no escape!
It's no use...
Torikabuto's illusion has reached my brain.
Shoichi, he's approaching again!
Damn it!
Distance: 150 and closing!
Launch all of the remaining erial decoys!
More decoys?
How dull.
I don't intend to deal with them again.
Disappear.
D-Damage report?!
Rear left continuous track and rear smokescreen ports destroyed!
We're still okay...
Just keep on running!
O-ho, you've dropped speed.
It appears that I landed a hit.
Please hurry, Yamamoto-kun.
I can't just hang out here!
I've got buddies waiting on me!
Distance from Kikyo under 120!
Speed it up!
I know!
Damn it!
At this rate...
It appears that someone's trying to interfere.
I won't let you do it!
You're late, Octopus head!
They're saved!
What a relief!
I want to praise him for arriving at the last second.
But Master Gokudera's Vongola Box is still sealed.
And with only Rocket Bombs to work with...
I'm your opponent!
What a fearfully primitive weapon.
Not yet!
Oh?
Shoot!
Time for the side character to leave.
Gokudera-kun!
This is bad!
Masters Irie and Spanner have neither rings nor Box Weapons!
Run! Run to the extreme!
O-ho.
Then it's time for the main dish.
Damn!
This is bad...
O-ho.
Checkmate.
Master Irie...
There's nothing we can do.
Spanner.
Are you okay, Spanner?
Spanner!
Thank goodness. Looks like you're okay.
The enemy is after me.
It'll be safer for you to stay here.
I'm going.
Now then...
Would Lord Byakuran prefer to toy with the target,
or finish him in one fell swoop?
It's Irie!
Oh! He's okay!
I'm amazed he made it out...
I'll run. I'm going to run.
Every centimeter counts.
Every second counts.
Silly Sho-chan.
Idjit, what a pathetic way to die.
Boo, so lame!
Not here...
Operation X.
Tsunayoshi-kun's voice?
It's okay...
I'm going to escape.
We're going to win.
We're definitely going to win.
Pitiful.
I'll end him with one blow...
As a form of mercy.
Wh-What was that rumble?!
I've broken out of the illusionary space.
Is that Tsuna?!
Ah! Master Sawada's on the monitor!
That's...
That destructive power...
It can only be!
X Burner!
He blew up the entire illusionary space.
You've done well, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Help Yamamoto-kun defeat the target.
Defeat...the target...
I can't do that.
I won't abandon a friend.
I'm coming back over there!
What are you saying, Tsunayoshi-kun?
Your top priority should be to defeat the enemy target.
Yamamoto! I'll be right there.
Hold on until then!
Don't mind me!
No!
Please take care of the enemy target, Yamamoto!
Go on, Tsuna.
I can handle the target by myself!
You're all...
So sweet...
O-ho.
Vongola Decimo has changed his strategy, and he's coming back...
But it's already too late.
Tsuna-kun, hurry!
Tsuna-san!
Hurry! Yamamoto! Sawada!
All right, I can do this!
Let me get there in time!
It will be easier to extinguish that target marker
than twisting a baby's arm.
Time for the finish, Lord Byakuran.
I will be taking the life of your old friend.
Now then...
Shigure Soen Ryu.
Special stance 10.
Scontro di Rondine!
I'm taking you out!
Shoichi!
O-ho, it's already over.
Damn you!
I told you it's over.
There's no reason for me to fight you.
Shoichi!
Please wait.
I must take a closer look at Shoichi Irie's target marker.
Please step back.
At such a critical time...
Tsuna.
I also defeated theirs.
The enemy target was taken out at the same time.
So there's no winner? A draw?
A draw...
That was pretty impressive for that baseball freak.
Gokudera-kun, you're okay.
I apologize, boss...
I was entrusted to defend them...
I'm so glad...
I'm so glad you're okay!
You should worry about Irie before me...
The target marker is extinguished when life energy drops below 2%.
Below 2%?
In Irie's case, his life energy is well below 2% and still dropping,
which means his target marker is considered extinguished.
No way...
Shoichi-kun!
Hang in there!
You can't die!
I have also confirmed that Daisy's target marker is extinguished.
Which means...
A draw, huh?
O-ho.
Your decision came too early, referee.
Yup.
Wha-?!
This is...
I still can't die?
He came back to life!
No way...
I didn't finish you off,
but you were completely defeated!
I didn't get to die again...
Why?
What's going on here?
Daisy has an undead body.
He's a peculiar man who has the problem of being unable to die.
He's immortal?
Don't give me that crap!
No way...
That's...
Impossible.
Do you understand now?
This is the real power of the real six Funeral Wreaths.
With this, we have a winner in this Choice battle.
The winner is...
the Millefiore Family!
Yay! They were so weak!
Shoichi-kun, get a hold of yourself!
Shoichi-kun?
Shoichi-kun?!
Shoichi-kun!
Ciao-su.
