Narrator: In the fifth round of voting for the election
of the 13th chairman, pariston placed first.
However, since he failed to secure
a majority of the valid votes,
those in the top eight must now hold a runoff.
Cutie: I lost. Why, you might ask?
Well, the truth is I haven’t lost.
Our beloved pariston will help me realize my vision,
and a cute hunter association will soon be enacted!
Bisky: Well, that nutty old geezer--
I mean netero--
i’m sure everyone knows just how crazy he could be,
but I still feel this is worth mentioning.
The fiasco with the ants proves
that you can’t solve a crisis with lofty morals,
and that’s a fact!
Saccho: I swear i’ll still work for the association
behind the scenes.
I won’t name names,
but I do hope you vote for someone who’s worth supporting.
Sanbica: Um, to all those who voted for me,
i’d like to say thank you.
B-but, please, no more.
I can’t take this!

Hisoka: Yes? Hello?
Can you believe it?
I got a map.
It outlines the exact routes
and the destinations for all six airships.
Of all the vessels,
they would seem to be on one of the remaining two.
Do you want me to send a picture?
I’ll use texture surprise to doctor it a little, though.
Illumi: No, thank you.
There was an idiot here carrying a map,
and I already know which airship killua took.
Hisoka: I see.
Oh, right. He has a spy.
( Grass rustles )
Tsubone: Am I being watched?
I’m not so senile
i’d let someone tail me while i’m tailing another, am I?
I’ve sensed eyes on me for some time,
ever since the mission began.
They’re quite far away,
yet I still can’t shake them off.
This is the first time that’s happened.
They must be very good indeed.
Come back here quickly, amane!
Time to fly!
Amane: Right!
( Wind blowing )
Tsubone: Fortunately for us,
it appears that the clouds have come out tonight.
Master killua is sure to use that to his advantage.
And there he goes.
You’re late! Let’s go!
Amane: Right!
Narrator: Tsubone’s ability, which is known as rider’s high,
allows her to transform herself
into various types of vehicles at will.
However, the vehicles are fueled by the rider’s aura,
which means that she cannot use her ability alone.
Tsubone: No one can watch us from the ground
when we’re above the clouds, no matter how strong the scope.
Amane, we’ll take down
any suspicious aircraft we see in the area.
Amane: Yes!
( Illumi sighs )
Well...
We still have some time before either airship arrives.
I suppose I should go lend hisoka a hand.
Hunter: Nothing out of the ordinary here.
We haven’t seen any sign of the target.
Loupe: We’ve lost all contact with point c!
Teradein: Point a is reporting all clear.
Should we send them over?
Bushidora: They might also be compromised.
It’s possible that illumi’s manipulating them,
so he may already have full control of the area.
Loupe: Are you saying he’s already killed over 20 people?
Bushidora: Look, it doesn’t matter
how many amateurs we throw at him.
I think we should warn the pros
who are going after the needle people immediately.
( Phone line ringing )
Teradein: Latoon and kenzaki aren’t answering.
Bushidora: What?
Teradein: The two airships that they were following
are in close proximity.
We can assume...
Bushidora: It seems I should get going.
This is my chance to prove
that i’m worthy to lead the pure paladin squad.
Loupe: What about the election?
Bushidora: Those who are able should still go vote.
Even if we exclude everyone who’s hunting,
we can still finish in the top four.
Teradein: Yes. We must continue voting in the election.
We may not be able to predict the outcome,
but i’d still rather not sway the vote through abstentions.
Loupe: I don’t understand why we don’t hire temp hunters.
If we can show people that we’re trying to carry on
the spirit of the hunter association,
we just might be able to win
some of the votes that are defaulting to pariston.
Bushidora: He’s right.
We should post a notice at once!
( Teradein grunts )
♪
Loupe: If everything works out the way I think it will,
the temp hunters will be killed.
What better way to guarantee
they miss the next round of voting?
But if I told him that, i’m sure teradein would object.
We should actually be abstaining
so we can ensure that this round of votes is thrown out.
Teradein is too honest, and bushidora is too careless.
Pariston: You’re telling me
Mr. Teradein has requested temp hunters?
Magnificent! Yes, a wonderful request!
Do everything in your power to make it happen!
Oh, you don’t need to be concerned about me.
In fact, if there’s no upper limit
on the number of temp hunters we can send,
spread the word, and take everyone you want.
If you come across anything you want to ask
or tell me while on the job,
just feel free to contact me anytime,
and if anything needs to be improved,
i’m positive we’ll be able to work it out.
( Sighs )
( Snickers )
What an excellent trio.
I do like them.
They’re so easy.
Teradein: The vote’s invalid because turnout was 91.2%
what is happening?!
Loupe: Teradein!
Everyone who was pursuing the needle people was wiped out,
our members, the camera crew, the temp hunters,
and bushidora!
( Teradein gasps )
It can’t be!
It was illumi!
He must have hired dozens of incredibly powerful soldiers!
♪
Hisoka: More like one magician.
Tsubone: I haven’t felt those eyes on me
ever since we took flight,
and that means that we really were being tailed before.
Killua: The clouds have cleared.
Well, it should be fine
this far from the hospital.
If anyone sees alluka when we go inside,
tsubone will say that her power has been revealed,
and she’ll use that excuse to take us home immediately,
and this’ll all be over.
But if I clear the area so nobody sees us,
that’ll only make it easier for illumi to act.
And taking this airship directly to the hospital
would be pretty tough.
Gotoh suggested driving a car through the front door,
and that might be our best bet.
Eh?
( Dials telephone )
Canary, i’m having some trouble reaching gotoh.
Canary: So am I.
Killua: Then I need you to tell hishita and all of the others
to send cars to the following three locations.
As soon as possible, okay?
Canary: Yes, I understand.
Killua: I’m sure we lost the ground pursuit
by flying above the clouds.
We’ll be fine until we’re in the car.
After that, we have to pick the best route to the hospital.
Gon, hang in there.
Killua: Okay. Nice timing, hishita.
Looping around took more time,
but now we’re 60 kilometers from the hospital.
They’ll never find us.
To the hospital!
Hishita: Yes, understood, sir.

Killua: What’s wrong?
Hishita: People in front of the car.

Killua: Oh, no.
Needle people.
Impossible. How?
No way they followed us!
Was it the car?
Did they follow the car?
Hishita, gun it! Run ’em down!
They’re all beyond help, anyway!
Hishita: I’m afraid I can’t do that...
Not without a direct order from master illumi.
( Killua gasps )
What?!
♪
We’re completely surrounded.
( Gasps )
Impossible.
How is he here?
Illumi, how?
This can’t be happening,
unless he knew which airship we were on.
No, even if he knew,
it doesn’t make sense.
We flew way above the clouds.
He couldn’t have followed us on the ground.
Illumi: Hello, kil.
You’re hiding something about alluka.
Now tell me what it is.
Killua: Do I use godspeed to drag hishita
out of the car and use it to escape?
Or go back to the airship and try to escape by air?
If I were alone, either one of those would work.
But not now that i’ve gotta keep alluka safe.
How did you know we were here?
Illumi: If I tell you,
then will you agree to hand alluka over?
Killua: Not gonna happen.
Forget I asked.
Physically alluka’s
only as strong as a normal kid.
A single attack from one of the needle people
could be lethal.
What do I do?
My only choice...
Is to summon nanika.
( Killua gasps )
Tsubone: It was me.
I was the fool who fell prey to this deception.
Alluka: Hey!
Look! It’s tsubone!
Tsubone: The missis can see
everything I see through this eyepiece.
I’m afraid this is all my fault.
I bet that she transmitted the video to you,
didn’t she, master illumi?
Illumi: Bingo.
Tsubone was my spy.
Tsubone: When the clouds had cleared away,
I felt those eyes watching me again,
and I suddenly realized the truth,
that the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence.
Illumi: Ah, so you actually felt us watching, did you?
You’re really something.
But, although you sensed us, you still couldn’t disobey mom,
so you left the eyepiece in place.
Tsubone: Yes. I’ll admit that’s it exactly.
Alluka: Tsubone,
give me the nail from your middle finger.

Tsubone: Yes, absolutely.

For you, my young master.
Alluka: And, tsubone,
give me the nail from your ring finger now.

That’s a very easy request, my dear.
( Nail crunches )
Killua: Thanks, tsubone.
I appreciate it.
( Nen whooshes )
Tsubone: There, master killua.
You should be able to make your wish now.
Amane and I will pay whatever price you incur.
I ruined your well-laid plans.
I’m so sorry.
Please allow us to make amends.
Illumi: So will you do it?
Fine with me.
If you want to wish for gon’s healing,
this is the protocol that you’ll have to follow, right?
If you can sacrifice those two to kill me,
i’m sure you won’t have any problem
sacrificing a bunch of strangers to save your friend gon.
Rule number five.
The same person can’t make a wish twice in a row.
Hisoka: Now, then, would it be more fun
to kill alluka, sparking killua’s wrath,
or would it be better to spare alluka,
save gon, and make an enemy of illumi?
Choices, choices.
Illumi: Bear in mind that, if you say yes,
i’ll be happy to die.
Your intra-mission will have succeeded.
Killing family is against the rules,
but the thing that will Grant your wish...
Isn’t part of our family.
( Killua gasping )
Illumi: Even if it turns out
that rule number five doesn’t apply to killua,
i’ll gladly die to save the rest of the family,
and i’ll do so without hesitation.
Killua will suffer for the rest of his life.
I, on the other hand, will live on forever in his heart.
( Killua gasping )
Illumi: Well, go on.
I’m offering you a deal, killua.
Take my life, and, in exchange,
you will get to make your wish for gon.
Sound fair?
( Killua gasping )
Hisoka: If I spare alluka,
illumi will die, and killua won’t become enraged,
so, if gon is healed, I neither gain nor lose anything.
In that case, my course is clear.
I should kill alluka to incur killua’s wrath,
then kill killua to incur illumi’s wrath.
Isn’t that the best of both worlds?

If she wants to heal,
she has to be touching the target,

Killua: Nanika’s the one who calls me killua.
Healing tires her out, so she sleeps,
but that’s all there is.
After someone’s made a wish to heal something,
nanika’s never demanded anything cruel in return,
not once!
( Sighs )
Nanika is kinder than anyone.
The cursed ones are the ones making the wishes.
Treat nanika like an object again...
And you’re no longer my big brother.
Illumi: I understand. Ten-four.
If you can heal gon without assuming any risk at all,
I think that’s wonderful.
But i’m afraid that still doesn’t change the fact
that nanika is dangerous
and my questions remain unanswered.
Even now, there’s something you’re hiding from me,
like how milluki’s rule number five
doesn’t apply to you, for instance.
So until you tell me everything you know,
alluka will never be free.
Killua: Idiot!
That’s exactly why I can’t tell you anything.
If you knew the last rule, you’ll--
no, not just you.
All of you, you’d put needles in my head again,
and you’d do it with smiles on your faces.
Amane: Master killua, i’ll take you to the hospital.
Teradein: Captain bushidora of the pure paladin squad
lost his life in pursuit of the wicked hunter
that we had hoped to bring to justice.
This is proof positive
that a coldblooded evil is lurking among us.
That’s why I regret telling you
that the pure paladin squad does not have the power
to bring the hunter or hunters to justice.
It’s out of our hands.
Everyone, this is an urgent matter
that the association must unite to resolve at once!
That is why our goal
is to ensure that voter turnout exceeds 95%
and that the winner has a clear majority.
There must be no question about the result!
That is why we are currently in negotiations with morel,
who has strong ties with the former chairman’s faction
in hopes that he will be our new captain.
At the same time, we are prepared to reveal
the name, face, and ability of the killers.
We’ll do whatever it takes to prevent any further tragedy.
If you’re with us, then I implore you all
to vote and show your support.
So save the hunters by voting for teradein.

I think I remember turning you down.
Teradein: But can’t you reconsider?
Morel: I was pretty close to the chairman,
and I helped wipe out the ants,
but i’m not the warrior you think I am.
The operation required support, and I was chosen to supply it.
That doesn’t necessarily mean i’m strong, you know.
Teradein: Yes. However--
morel: Look, you saw the top 16.
I am a sea hunter! You know what I can’t handle?
Dry land, and I won’t be tied to it.

Morel: Look...
I get that you’re in a hurry to end this election,
so why don’t you just tell your supporters
to vote for pariston?
I mean, personally i’d rather die than vote for him.
Oh, just one more thing, and i’m done.
If you even think of releasing their identity,
you and a bunch of other daredevil idiots
are gonna die. You hear me?
And you’re too weak to call yourselves
the pure paladin squad, so quit it!
I won’t work with anyone who won’t listen to me
