07x168 - Choice Begins

[bunniefuu]

Man: What is that?!

Man: A pitch-black cloud is looming over the shrine!

Byaku: Hey there, fellas.

Tsuna: Ah! What is that?!

Byaku: You look to be doing well, Tsunayoshi-kun.

Tsuna: Huh?! B-Byakuran?!

Ryohei: Byakuran's a giant?!

Lambo: Monster!

Spanner: There's a metallic reading.

Spanner: It's a giant apparatus.

Byaku: Oh?

Tsuna: Huh?

Byaku: I said to bring everyone with you.

Byaku: Some people are missing.

Tsuna: Uh, ah, that's...

Byaku: Oh well.

Byaku: You'll be the ones who suffer at crunch time.

Byaku: Now start pushing out flames quick.

Byaku: There's only a little time left before noon, the scheduled time.

Byaku: Time will be up when the light from my face disappears.

Basil: The light is fading!

Ryohei: And fading fast!

Byaku: Now come on.

Byaku: What's wrong? You scared?

Tsuna: B-But...

Tsuna: We're still missing people.

Byaku: Oh?

Byaku: I'm glad that you respect the rules.

Byaku: But it sounds like an excuse

Byaku: for not being able to produce five million Fiamma Volts.

Tsuna: I'm sure... I'm sure they'll be here!

Byaku: But you're out of time.

Tsuna: No! They'll come!

Hibari: What are you people doing?

Yamamoto: Yo, sorry to keep you waiting.

Tsuna: Both of them came!

Gokudera: Boss!

Ryohei: Sawada!

Chrome: Boss!

Tsuna: O-Okay!

Tsuna: Vongola Box!

Tsuna: Open Box!

Byaku: Hmm? Oh? What is this?

Irie: That's the Flame Ring Teleportation System...

Spanner: Shoichi.

Spanner: The reading...

Irie: Ten million Fiamma Volts!

Irie: So I wasn't mistaken...

Irie: I wasn't mistaken when I brought them to this world!

Irie: They are the only light that can stand against Byakuran-san.

Irie: The young th generation Vongola Family!

EpTitle: Target Choice Begins

Mob: That looks dangerous!

Mob: Run for it!

Mob: Help!

Gokudera: Man... You guys are late!

Yamamoto: Sorry about that.

Hibari: I am here for personal reasons.

Hibari: It's got nothing to do with you.

Ryohei: But Sawada, how'd you know they would come?

Tsuna: No...

Tsuna: All I knew was that

Tsuna: we needed everyone together or we couldn't defeat Byakuran.

Byaku: Yes, marvelous...

Byaku: Over five million Fiamma Volts...

Byaku: You pass.

Byaku: Then let's get down...

Byaku: to starting Choice.

Tsuna: Yeah.

Byaku: The first choice will be the selection of a b*ttlefield.

Byaku: On account of your wonderful flames,

Byaku: I'll yield the choice of b*ttlefield to your side.

Kyoko: What are those?

Haru: Playing cards?

Byaku: You've heard the rules of Choice from Sho-chan, right?

Byaku: Choice is a game of choices.

Byaku: Battlefields and combatants must be chosen before you can begin.

Byaku: The outcome is largely determined by fate.

Byaku: Now draw a card, Tsunayoshi-kun.

Byaku: That will be the choice you have made.

Giannini: But the cards were made by the enemy...

Irie: Don't worry.

Irie: Choice is the one occasion where Byakuran-san will never cheat.

Gokudera: Boss...

Yamamoto: All yours, Tsuna.

: Yeah.

Lambo: Lambo-san wants to draw! Wants to draw!

Chrome: Boss...

Tsuna: Okay, I'll make my choice.

Byaku: The b*ttlefield card is Lightning.

Byaku: Let's go then.

Yamamoto: What is this?!

Giannini: M-My body is floating on its own!

Irie: It's okay! Don't panic!

Haru: Eek!

Lambo: Lambo-san's flying!

Gokudera: Damn... What the hell?!

Haru: Ow...

Tsuna: Man, that hurt...

Tsuna: Ah! E-Everybody okay?

Bianchi: Yes...

Tsuna: Nobody hurt?

Giannini: Y-Yes, somehow...

Giannini: Though I feel I lost a few years off my life.

Basil: We're also fine over here!

Ryohei: You okay, Kyoko?

Kyoko: Uh-huh. I'm fine, Ryohei.

Reborn: Looks like everybody made it here in one piece.

Chrome: Boss, there's something buried here.

: Huh?

Tsuna: That's Lambo.

Chrome: Huh?

Chrome: Ah...

Lambo: That hurts!

Chrome: Sorry...

Chrome: Huh?

Lambo: I dropped my lollipop!

Futa: It's okay, Lambo.

Futa: Here.

Gokudera: But we b*rned up a large amount of flames in the process.

Gokudera: Uri returned to his box.

Yamamoto: So did mine.

Ryohei: Mangaroo too!

Chrome: Mukuro...

Tsuna: This is...

Byaku: Hey.

Byaku: Welcome to the Choice arena.

Tsuna: Byakuran...

Tsuna: What?!

Kyoko: Huh?

Haru: Eek?!

Ryohei: Wh-What's the meaning of this?!

Basil: This is...

Tsuna: The middle of a bunch of skyscrapers!

Byaku: It feels like we've met many times...

Byaku: But is this the first time you've met me in person,

Byaku: Tsunayoshi-kun?

Tsuna: Ah! Th-There they are!

Tsuna: Byakuran and the real six Funeral Wreaths!

Lambo: Wah! They're kinda scary!

Lambo: I'm on this side!

Byaku: This is where we'll be fighting.

Tsuna: Huh? Here?

Byaku: That's right.

Byaku: Don't you think it's a fine location?

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuna: W-We can't possibly fight in a place with so many people!

Byaku: I thought you might say that,

Byaku: so I got rid of all the people.

Tsuna: Huh?

Gokudera: Wha-?

Yamamoto: Now that you mention it, the place is awfully quiet.

Bianchi: Especially when you consider that we're in the middle of a metropolis.

Basil: No signs of crowd chatter or traffic noise.

Chrome: Or birds...

Byaku: We are the only people in this place.

Tsuna: Huh?

Gokudera: What do you mean?

Irie: A b*ttlefield made especially for Choice.

Byaku: Well, we'll explain everything in due time.

Blue: Boo! Puhleeze!

Blue: They're a bunch of kids.

Ryohei: What?!

Gokudera: Damn you...

Blue: Boo, I can handle this lot by myself!

Tsuna: Whoa, her hand!

Kikyo: O-ho.

Kikyo: Don't be hasty, Bluebell.

Kikyo: Lord Byakuran has been looking forward to this party.

Kikyo: We should enjoy ourselves.

Tsuna: N-Now what?!

Yamamoto: I-In an instant... No, not even an instant...

Ryohei: What just happened?!

Gokudera: Not to mention that magma bath...

Gokudera: Are these freaks even human?!

Kikyo: O-ho.

Kikyo: My Cloud Guardian counterpart

Kikyo: appears to be you in the school uniform.

Kikyo: I am Kikyo.

Kikyo: A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Hibari: Enough chitchat.

Hibari: Let's get started.

Byaku: But we can't do that yet, Hibari-chan.

Byaku: This is Choice.

Byaku: We have to proceed to the next choice.

Tsuna: Wh-What is that?!

Irie: It's a gyroroulette...

Byaku: I'll make it easier for everyone to see.

Gokudera: What's with the list of symbols?

Tsuna: This one is Millefiore...

Tsuna: This one is Vongola...

Tsuna: These represent our individual elements?

Byaku: Place the hand with your ring on the side with gears, Tsunayoshi-kun.

Tsuna: Huh?

Byaku: Here, like this.

Tsuna: L-Like this?

Byaku: Spin the gears right when I say Choice.

Tsuna: Huh? H-Hold-

Byaku: Choice.

Byaku: Hmm, they're stopping.

Byaku: And it's decided.

Tsuna: Huh?

Byaku: The participants in the battle.

Tsuna: Wh-What is this?

Tsuna: There are a bunch of numbers lined up.

Irie: Next to the element symbols...

Irie: I see!

Irie: The numbers say how many participants are allowed for each element!

Byaku: You sure are a quick one, Sho-chan.

Byaku: That's right.

Byaku: The gyroroulette determined the number

Byaku: of combatants from each element on the b*ttlefield.

Yamamoto: The number depends on the element?

Tsuna: And the total number is different between Vongola and Millefiore.

Byaku: That's the fun part about Choice.

Byaku: Vongola will be sending one each from Sky, Storm, and Rain, huh?

Byaku: Good draw, Tsunayoshi-kun.

Gokudera: Hold on!

Gokudera: Then what's the square on the bottom?!

Gokudera: I've never seen any element like that!

Byaku: Hmm?

Byaku: Oh, that would be the null element.

Byaku: In other words, it represents those without rings.

Byaku: You have a "",

Byaku: so you'll need to send out two of them.

Reborn: So that's why you said to bring everyone.

Tsuna: Having them all participate in the fight...

Tsuna: No way!

Tsuna: Kyoko-chan?!

Ryohei: Kyoko!

Tsuna: When did he...

Bianchi: Who are you?!

Daisy: I'm Daisy...

Daisy: This is for you...

Kikyo: Sorry about that.

Kikyo: The second I take my eyes off him...

Kikyo: Daisy has a weakness for the lovely and fragile, like you two.

Tsuna: Wh-What's with this guy?

Byaku: Well then...

Byaku: Let's announce the participating members then.

Byaku: Oh, this is the one time you can discuss before making your choice.

Irie: Byakuran-san, since I don't have a ring,

Irie: I can be considered a "null element", right?

Byaku: Well, I'll make a special exception.

Irie: In that case, Tsunayoshi-kun,

Irie: our lineup is settled.

Tsuna: Huh?

Irie: The participating Vongola members will be as follows:

Irie: Sky will be Tsunayoshi-kun.

Irie: Storm will be Gokudera-kun.

Irie: Rain will be Yamamoto-kun.

Irie: Null element will be represented by Spanner and me.

Gokudera: Hey wait, Irie!

Gokudera: Like we'd listen to your orders!

Gokudera: The boss makes these decisions!

Reborn: But Gokudera, I agree with a lineup where everyone has combat experience.

Gokudera: What? Reborn-san!

Ryohei: Hold on!

Ryohei: Isn't there something wrong when I can't participate?!

Ryohei: I extremely trained with Mangaroo!

Tsuna: Hey, Ryohei!

Irie: You'll have to bear with it this time!

Irie: The other side is also bound by these conditions.

Irie: That's how Choice works.

Irie: Besides, the gyroroulette gave us a pretty favorable result.

Irie: The other side is down a person,

Irie: and Byakuran-san can't participate.

Hibari: You think I'm going to accept that reasoning?

Hibari: I'm going to participate.

Tsuna: H-Hibari-san!

Irie: Wait! You can't just decide that...

Dino: Hold on, Kyoya.

Tsuna: Huh?

Dino: Man, you're so hopeless.

Tsuna: Dino-san!

Tsuna: When did you get here?!

Dino: I snuck in during the warp.

Dino: I've been here the whole time.

Tsuna: The whole time?!

Tsuna: I never noticed!

Dino: I'm your tutor...

Dino: Of course I'd come.

Blue: Byakuran, what's that?

Byaku: Dino the Bronco.

Blue: Bronco?

Byaku: Hibari-chan's tutor.

Byaku: Right, Arcobaleno Reborn?

Reborn: So you know everything about us, huh?

Dino: Use your head.

Dino: If Tsuna and the others b*at the Millefiore,

Dino: you'll be free to fight with whomever you want.

Dino: Just suck it up for now, yeah?

Hibari: Make it quick.

Dino: Yeah, got it.

Tsuna: Dino-san's gotten good at persuading Hibari-san!

Dino: Tsuna, it's your call.

Dino: Are you okay with that lineup?

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuna: Y-Yes!

Futa: Hey, Giannini, are you okay with this?

Futa: You've been completely ignored...

Futa: And Spanner, who's also null element and a mechanic, was chosen...

Giannini: U-Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a choice.

Giannini: I'll leave it to them!

Futa: He looks so happy...

Tsuna: So he doesn't want to participate...

Zakuro: I feel like crap.

Yamamoto: He's...

Tsuna: That guy who was whistling...

Gokudera: That magma bath freak!

Zakuro: Lord Byakuran, sorry, but since I don't have a role to play,

Zakuro: I'm getting sick of this, to be honest.

Kikyo: I apologize, Lord Byakuran.

Kikyo: Zakuro is starting to lose interest.

Byaku: Hmm, then we'd better hurry.

Bell: Which one of us is the wacko now?!

Byaku: Then I'll introduce the participating members from the Millefiore side now.

Byaku: Cloud will be the ever-reliable and kind leader

Byaku: of the real six Funeral Wreaths, Kikyo.

: O-ho.

Byaku: Sun will be the zombie who lives to k*ll, Daisy.

Byaku: Mist will be the phantom giant bringer of truth, Torikabuto.

Byaku: Hmm, I think that does it.

Basil: You're still missing one!

Basil: You're supposed to have two Mist members!

Blue: Uh-oh!

Byaku: Crap!

Byaku: Is that what you expected us to say?

Byaku: Like I said before,

: each of the six real Funeral Wreaths has been

: assigned one hundred Rank A subordinates.

Tsuna: N-Now that you mention it...

Yamamoto: He did say something about that.

Byaku: The other Mist player

Byaku: is already here.

Byaku: One of Torikabuto's men.

Byaku: Saru.

Gokudera: Where did he come from?!

Ryohei: I couldn't even feel his presence.

Chrome: Two Illusionists...

Dino: So they have plenty of resources.

Basil: Cowards!

Byaku: Well then...

Byaku: We're finally getting to the rules of victory.

Byaku: I went with the simplest and quickest Choice rule set.

Byaku: The Target rules.

Tsuna: T-Target rules?

Irie: A very simple set of rules.

Irie: Both sides select one person to become the enemy's target.

Irie: When a target is defeated, that side loses.

Reborn: I see.

Reborn: So we're selecting captains.

Reborn: The target is the equivalent of a king in chess.

Irie: I should mention that the target was already selected by the roulette.

Tsuna: Huh?

Byaku: Certain element marks are illuminated on the roulette board, yeah?

Byaku: Millefiore's is Sun.

Byaku: Vongola's is null.

Byaku: When two or more members belong to the target element,

Byaku: the roulette will select one at random.

Tsuna: Ah!

Tsuna: That settles it.

Byaku: The Millefiore's target is Daisy.

Byaku: The Vongola's target is Sho-chan.

Reborn: Ciao-su.
