"he finds himself under attack by new Chimera Ants." "An owl and a bat?" "They're both nocturnal creatures..." "Hunters of the night!" "From the left?" "Bring it!" "The owl's feathers?" "Damn..." "I can't hear the owl at all!" "Combination x And x Evolution" "My ears can pick up sounds of higher frequency than other animals'." "I can hear you stepping on leaves and your clothes rustling." "All of which tell me exactly where you are!" "From the right this time!" "The owl uses its feathers to distract me right before the bat attacks..." "They're using both long- and short-range attacks." "Wait..." "That means..." "He has a lot of aura..." "But it won't help." "We are unrivaled in the darkness!" "I should approach this the opposite way! I should focus on the sound of the bat's wings." "the bat will attack!" "Now!" "Bingo!" "I missed?" "But my timing was perfect!" "Ultrasonic waves?" "I missed again?" "he's correctly guessing the direction of my attacks." "his ears are sharp. so my feathers aren't doing any damage." "The bat uses ultrasonic waves to anticipate the timing of my attack." "I can't win!" "First comes rock..." "His aura continues to grow." "This could pose a problem." "Not at all..." "This is our chance." "He's probably using his ultimate attack." "we've won." "I can use my ultrasonic waves to see it in advance." "Do you need help?" "I'll try getting closer as quietly as I can." "The sound's moving away." "The sound's gone!" "with no wingbeats..." "I dive!" "That won't work!" "so I can hear you slice through the air." "show me your ultimate attack." "He isn't acting?" "I guess a human can only hear so much." "I'll make my move..." "I'll slash your jugular!" "Keep my motions minimal." "Wait until I draw her as near as possible!" "He was baiting me?" "I'm in trouble." "But his punch will take a few milliseconds to land." "I have plenty of time to fly away!" "The noise..." "I can't see." "I must get away!" "You won't escape!" "Rock..." "You aren't the only one that can use sound..." "Paper to locate others." "Paper!" "All right." "A rock?" "He used that to deflect my shot?" "1)}Gorilla Mode" "That was close..." "Damn it!" "I used my special attack and still couldn't bring it down!" "What was that?" "There was a sound that made my head spin." "too?" "That stupid kid has a loud voice..." "But I'm much better at attacking with sound!" "This is the true power of their combination." "They strike with sound and finish with brawn." "What now?" "Do I cover my ears?" "I can't... my reaction time will suffer." "I know!" "Gyo!" "His eyes are shining?" "Or is that aura?" "ignoring sound?" "Let's give him another... 1)}Ultrasonic Dissonance" "Secret Noise!" "Okay!" "This should help some." "He spit on cloth to make earplugs." "Clever..." "Water significantly weakens the power of sound!" "this is better..." "I can locate the owl through its aura." "Here it comes!" "A feather?" "Zetsu." "Of course..." "They started off as wild animals." "they've known to conceal themselves when approaching their prey!" "but the ultrasound really hurts. they'll take me down before I can even find them!" "the kid has a clear advantage." "he's taken no damage." "But his level of capability is irrelevant." "he's just a moving target." "They work in perfect sync." "I have to disrupt that!" "we can't use ultrasound." "Wrong guess!" "I can defeat this one." "But then the bat might run and warn the other Ants!" "a starry night is as bright as day." "I can see you without needing to rely on my hearing!" "So if I cover my ears..." "I can attack at will!" "The kid has shrouded his entire body in aura to avoid damage." "making it impossible to stand against them." "he'll never defeat them..." "It's over for this kid." "Their weakness is that their movements are always in sync!" "Here!" "They always take positions on opposite sides to avoid both being targeted at once. the bat is directly behind me!" "A giant wall?" "The real wall was behind me..." "He turned our teamwork against us?" "I can concentrate on attacking." "things will go his way..." "But that attack won't be enough to get him anywhere here." "Damn!" "First comes rock..." "Rock..." "Paper... you..." "Rock!" "I made sure to knock you west!" "Go back to NGL!" "That was incredibly strong..." "I see..." "This is his real ultimate attack." "I take back what I said." "This kid can be useful." "But how do I proceed?" "Diego has been dethroned." "slaughtering entire villages and towns!" "Diego has fallen?" "Is that true?" "But we all saw the soldiers try to kill everyone." "There's no time to think about it!" "anywhere!" "Warn people in other areas!" "Who's interfering?" "It was in the southeast this time." "Some of my puppets have been stopped." "That was fast." "they're keeping low and unpredictable." "An assassin?" "But they are acting on their own..." "A decoy?" "This is so annoying..." "I wanna kill them!" "It is no more than a diversion." "Which means we cannot go." "You think?" "But it doesn't feel like the purpose is to bait us." "They're being careful not to let me catch them..." "It may all be an act to draw you out." "But perhaps I'm over-thinking things." "But..." "But... how I long to indulge myself in the delight of agonizing..." "It is the sweet trap of the thought process." "Nothing more." "The answer is simple." "Our mission is to protect the King." "We can let the other Ants handle the rest." "Is it our turn?" "When we were injured you took us in." "You even gave us instruction on using our power." "It is time for us to return the favor!" "Someone's running around and disabling my puppets." "Can you kill them?" "You can count on me." "Take this cell phone." "We can't use telepathy." "I'll give you updates on their location." "Understood." "Can we really trust them?" "I don't trust them. so they'll try hard to carry out their mission." "It's possible that they're looking for an opportunity to stab us in the back." "we should treat them accordingly." "The closest village is at two o'clock." "The next closest villages are at eight and ten o'clock... forty kilometers away?" "Play it safe..." "Don't let anyone find me." "I can't go this way." "This is bad..." "I should have taken matters into my own hands." "What's wrong?" "Cheetu is racing toward East Gorteau." "It seems the Hunters that replaced us failed to capture him." "Is he headed toward us?" "he'll pass far to the south." "Where are you going?" "Don't try to stop me..." "I'm already in a bad mood." "The Hunter Association has captured three hundred and nineteen Chimera Ants outside of NGL as of yesterday." "But Colt confirmed that none of them were Squadron Leaders. there are eight Squadron Leaders left that would be considered aggressive." "but they all got away." "Cheetu is coming to East Gorteau for a reason." "He must know the King is here." "He's choosing to return to the King's service in order to increase his power." "and I have more raw strength. there's no telling who will win next time. we'll never be able to draw the Royal Guard away." "Are you still gonna try to stop me?" "Eh?" "I'll fight you first." "we contact Morel-san." "he'll need to replace us." "I'll come with you." "This should increase the odds of capturing that Ant." "It's Knuckle..." "Something's come up." "I'd guess so." "Probably." "Yes." "uh..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Fools!" "I told you to send Riakke!" "He'd have been perfect for this." "Huh?" "!" "I don't give a damn!" "What's wrong?" "The Chimera Ant we were tracking escaped." "The review board didn't send the Hunter we requested!" "Who did they send?" "Some Hunter I've never heard of." "Probably an Association dog." "An Association dog..." "You mean Hunters who only take jobs through the Hunter Association." "It isn't surprising that they have less talent." "Damn!" "I should have gone to talk to Riakke myself!" "Don't be foolish! the Chairman will get all the grief." "He had to argue with the executive committee just to get the two of us here." "But they don't understand the situation." "They base it on past accomplishments and donations to the Association..." "The review board has always been inflexible." "How can you be so relaxed?" "!" "we'll pay dearly for it." "They're strong." "they listen to their deepest desires." "So they have the talent to quickly master the abilities they need the most." "we won't get help in time." "Maybe that's their goal..." "You refer to the rumors that the Vice-Chairman's faction controls the review board?" "That they're only giving work to Hunters who agree to vote for him in the next election?" "There's no evidence of anything like that happening." "You think they're stupid enough to get caught?" "Look at the facts!" "They've let every Squadron Leader they've faced escape alive!" "the Chairman will shoulder the blame." "They're willing to do whatever it takes to guarantee that result. the voices calling for the Chairman's resignation grow louder." "Too bad the voices belong to a bunch of people sitting at their desks!" "we've failed!" "We already knew that." "The Chairman is prepared." "he was well aware of the consequences. and the resulting casualties..." "Five million is the low end..." "That's too high!" "Marcos-san?" "What?" "The phones have been ringing nonstop!" "Rumors of a coup d'état are flying around." "And it's been discovered that mass murders are taking place all over the nation." "This is no rumor." "It's actually happening!" "What's going on here?" "Are you responsible for this?" "We haven't done anything!" "The citizens have learned the truth about the selection?" "We'll discuss this later." "Return to the office before anyone suspects you." "Morel!" "has an urgent announcement to make. we request that relay speakers in all regions be turned to maximum volume." "and the volume raised to maximum." "my beloved comrades." "I am Diego." "I have just declared that East Gorteau is under martial law." "This precaution is being taken to combat malcontents that would foment rebellion." "with your doors locked." "Anyone outdoors without permission will be identified as a rebel and punished. but that you follow my instructions. to see if any rebels are hiding inside." "Do not open your doors for anyone else." "Their response was too fast." "It must be Killua and Gon." "They weren't supposed to act." "But this must be part of the Chimera Ants' plan." "I can't believe otherwise." "The citizens learning the truth about the selection wasn't important." "the military would have an excuse to mobilize. completely isolated from the rest of the world." "Hmm..." "No problem." "You can bring out tanks and fighter jets." "I will stop them all." "Next time:" "Tracking x And x Pursuit." "98!" "99!" "100!" "We want to thank everyone for helping us reach 100 episodes!" "Thank you!" "We hope you keep watching!"
