Narrator: Leol has pursued morel into an underground church,

where they will now face off in battle.

( Morel chuckles )

Gaah!

Leol: This ability only activates when it’s raining.

Tube: Surf’s up!

Morel: Hmm. Huh?

( Rumbling )

( Grunts )

♪

( Singing in Japanese )

( Water rushing )

Leol: My tube ability summons the ocean!

( Morel grunts )

Huh?

Leol: Well? What do you think of my big wave? Huh?

I can wash away all your smoke like it wasn’t there.

( Both grunt )

( Morel growls )

Leol: Yeah! ( Laughs )

Having trouble moving in the water?

( Morel groans )

Leol: Do you like how easily

my board maneuvers across the waves?

Just stay still, and you’ll die even quicker.

Morel: That isn’t your ability.

Leol: Huh?

Morel: I know that power belongs to a friend of mine!

Leol: He’s making a boat out of smoke?

I see. You can ride on top of it.

( Both grunt )

Leol: Hah!

Do you really think that’s enough to tame my waves?

Morel: I already told you that is not your ability!

Leol: Huh. This one is one of my original moves.

( Yelling )

Vortex!

Morel: Damn it. The current’s so strong

I can’t tell up from down.

This is bad. I can’t move at all.

Leol: I immobilize my enemy’s movements with the whirlpool.

Here goes!

Then finish him with a harpoon from above.

Even from the sky,

my harpoon can Pierce a whale deep in the sea

by traveling at the speed of sound.

Take this!

Huh?!

♪

Wait. He disappeared?

Impossible.

The whirlpool should have kept him trapped.

He had no way to escape.

Ah.

Bastard.

How did you do that?

( Morel laughs )

I exhaled. That’s all.

When it comes to maximum lung capacity,

i’m confident that i’m the best in the world.

Leol: No way.

He used his breath as jet propulsion

to break out of the whirlpool?

Morel: Okay, then.

Looks like it’s my turn now.

Leol: What the hell are you talking about?

The way this battle’s going, you won’t get a turn. Sorry.

All you get to do now is drown in my waves.

Morel: The whole time we’ve been talking,

there are three things that i’ve learned about you.

- Leol: Huh? - Morel: Okay,

now the first thing that i’ve learned

is that your ability somehow uses the abilities of others.

Also, your headphones have nothing to do with your ability.

They’re either a good-luck charm,

or they’re just for show,

or you could be getting all your orders from somebody else.

( Leol growls )

Morel: If he’s increasing his risk by limiting his hearing

in order to upgrade his ability, he shouldn’t be able to hear me.

Leol: What’s the third thing?

Morel: Third is your life span.

Tube once belonged to a hunter I knew named grachan, not you.

He was helping to exterminate chimera ants,

so I suppose you must have defeated him,

and since you stole his ability, you deserve to die.

This ends right here!

Time to pay for what you’ve done!

Leol: Hang on.

That’s pretty one-sided, don’t you think?

I was merely protecting myself

from the humans who were hunting me,

an act of self-defense, simple as that.

Besides, I didn’t steal your friend’s ability.

( Chuckles ) I’m only borrowing it.

Morel: "Only borrowing it," huh? ( Scoffs )

That’s a lowlife thief’s excuse if I ever heard one.

Huh?

Leol: I can see that arguing with you

is just a waste of my time.

I’d like to get my hands on his ability,

but defeating him’s more important.

You think too much.

Right now, our top priority is to defeat one another.

♪

I’ll say it one more time.

You don’t get a turn in this fight!

Heavy pounder!

I’ll flood this underground church.

My wall of water can’t be stopped!

Good luck reaching the surface!

♪

Can you even come up?

Shall I smash your skull with my board?

Launch my harpoon through your gut?

Well? What’s it gonna be?

Either way, if he dares to show his face above the water,

he’s done for.

He’s not coming back up.

Has he drowned already?

No.

He was confident in his lung capacity,

so he can survive for ten, maybe 20 minutes.

No, wait. It’s possible he could stay underwater

for even longer, like a whale.

- ( Bubbles popping ) - Huh?

There you are.

Now hold still, and i’ll stab you with my harpoon.

- ( Bubbles popping ) - Huh?

Bubbles on the opposite side, too?

And over here.

And there.

There are bubbles everywhere.

I get it.

It’s possible he could have formed his smoke

into a hose with multiple branches.

That way, he wouldn’t have to reveal his position.

Hey! How long are you gonna stay under?!

You expect me to give up and deactivate this? Is that it?

No, it’s not.

The bubbles are camouflage.

Did he escape?

If his lung capacity is as great as he says it is,

he could swim out through the twisted maze

of underground corridors that lead down here.

I can’t let him get away.

I told welfin and bloster to stay back

so I could take all the credit.

( Gasping )

My head’s spinning, and my chest hurts

is it poison?

♪

( Gasping )

My board’s gone!

I’m too unstable to keep it activated.

( Groans ) Can’t move or breathe.

My ability stopped working, but the water’s still here?

Is it because we’re underground?

Not good.

I let him think he had the advantage

so I could turn the tables on him,

but it looks like the one who was backed into a corner

was me.

( Gagging )

Is this it?

Is this the end?

Am I gonna die here?

So he was using a hose made of smoke

to send air bubbles everywhere.

But if this is poison, what kind of poison is it?

Morel: That was faster than I thought.

The poison you’ve inhaled is lethal,

but it’s naturally found in the air.

♪

It’s co2.

Narrator: Morel used his immense lung capacity

to suck in the stagnant air trapped in the church

and exhaled it with an increased concentration of carbon dioxide.

Morel: You might not have realized it,

but my attacks began even before yours.

If what he said was true,

grachan should be getting his ability back

right about now.

♪

( Bizeff snoring )

Palm: I’ll be free to move around for a few hours.

In that time, I have to see them with my own eyes.

I’ve watched bizeff’s movements with my crystal ball.

I know how to get out of here.

Even if bizeff learns that i’ve escaped,

he can’t tell the royal guards,

because he’s kept this area a secret.

They’re close, right above me.

Ikalgo: Oh! You’re up.

That’s good.

( Killua groaning )

( Gasps )

Hey, octopus!

How long--and where--

ikalgo: Don’t call me that!

This is an underground hospital

for folks with roots in the underworld.

You were out for two whole days.

Killua: Two days? I need to get going.

Ikalgo: Whoa! Just take it easy.

Your wounds still need to heal.

( Killua grunts ) But there are things that I have to do.

Ikalgo: Idiot! You were on the verge of death!

You can’t just go running off now!

You’ll need to rest before--

- doctor: Ah, look who’s awake! - Ikalgo: Huh?

Doctor: How wonderful.

Killua: Thanks for helping, but i’ll be checking out now.

Doctor: Not until you pay your bill.

And the total comes to 1.8 million Jenny.

If you can’t pay, then i’ll accept body parts instead.

Killua: I don’t have my wallet with me,

so i’ll wire it as soon as I get back.

Doctor: Do you really think that i’m stupid enough

to take an I.O.U. From you?

Until you find someone to bring me the money,

you’re staying right where you are.

Killua: Look, I don’t have time for that!

Just give me your phone!

( Phone line ringing )

Doctor: It’s 10,000 Jenny for each minute.

Killua: Quiet! Just shut up, and go away!

Gon: Hello.

Killua: Hey, gon, it’s me.

Gon: Killua!

Where are you, what happened, and are you okay?

Killua: I’ll tell you when I see you.

An enemy gave me a little bit of trouble.

I’ve been in the hospital.

Gon: That sucks, but thanks for calling.

So you’re okay, right?

Killua: Yeah. Heading back soon.

So did anything happen on your side?

Gon: Uh-huh. We managed to find a really strong ally.

He and knuckle are hitting it off great as we speak.

We have a plan that could take the king down if it goes well.

Killua: Oh.

Gon: Let’s talk it over as soon as possible, okay?

Killua: Sounds good, but, hey,

I need you to send money to an account.

Do that, and we can rendezvous later today.

( Doctor chuckles )

Gon: I guess that just leaves palm.

Knuckle: You mean you haven’t been able to reach her yet?

- Gon: Mm-mmm. - Knuckle: Well,

she’s probably still inside the palace.

Gon: What about pitou’s en?

With that, she’d be found, maybe already has.

Shoot: I imagine that she’s down in the underground hangar.

Its passages extend outward for almost five kilometers,

beyond pitou’s range.

But considering that the exit is located well within the palace,

she won’t be able to get out.

Gon: How’s Mr. Knov doing?

Morel: He’s, uh...

Probably done fighting.

But he did manage to plant the exits,

so it hasn’t changed our plan.

( Gon grunts )

Morel: Three days to go.

( Ikalgo gasps )

His wounds, they’re already healed!

( Gasps )

( Gasps )

Killua: Right. I’m good to go.

Ikalgo: Uh...

- ( Door opens ) - Doctor: Okay.

Your payment finally came through.

You’re all cleared to leave now, so get out.

♪

( Door opens )

- Killua: What are you doing? - Ikalgo: Uh...

- Killua: Let’s go. - Ikalgo: Uh...

Killua: We’re gonna go join my friends.

I’ll introduce you.

( Ikalgo stammering )

But...

Killua: Fine. You don’t have to come along with me,

but I owe you one, so thank you.

Ikalgo: Uh, wait.

I-I mean...

Is it really okay?

I mean, i’m just a--

killua: What the hell?

Guess I was the only one

who thought we were friends already.

Ikalgo: You’re sure?

I can go, too?

Killua: I’m sure.

Well? Are you coming or not?

Ikalgo: Yeah, i’ll go! I’ll go with you!

Killua: Let’s just get one thing straight.

The next time something like this happens,

I won’t bother taking time to thank you.

And if something like this does happen again

and I end up helping you out,

you don’t need to thank me either.

Friends are supposed to help each other out.

( Ikalgo gasps )

Killua: I’m sure that you and I

will be helping each other out all the time from now on,

but helping out your friends isn’t anything special.

It’s expected, you know?

So let’s just cut all the formalities, okay?

It’s not worth it.

♪

Ikalgo: Yeah, this is it.

This is the world i’d always dreamed about,

the world I longed to be a part of,

but deep down, I thought it was beyond my reach,

that it wasn’t meant for me,

a world i’d completely given up hope on!

I didn’t think it was meant to be.

Killua, i-i’m so happy, I could die!

Killua: Wait! What the hell are you crying about, huh?

Ikalgo: ’cause you’re doing this for someone like me!

( Killua groans ) Give me a break.

There’s one more thing.

Ikalgo: Huh?

Killua: The world that you’re about to step into with me,

it’s more brutal than what you’re used to.

It may seem similar, but there’s a huge difference

between risking your life and throwing it away.

( Ikalgo shuddering )

Killua: People who live on the brink of death

never think of throwing their lives away.

But if you can take perfect care of your body

and drink poison that’s barely under the lethal dose

without the least hesitation, you can survive.

That’s what it takes.

Do you still wanna join us?

Ikalgo: How do you do it?

How do you always say the words I most want to hear?

Thanks for the warning, but all I see is paradise.

I’ll go, no matter the cost.

I’ve seen the other side.

I have a connection to it now.

I know it really exists...

And now I know that even someone like me can go there!
