"Previously on Fairy Tail: and we were captured!" "it doesn't look like I appear much this episode at all!" "Ever heard of the prize for perfect attendance?" "and get us outta here!" "You bastards!" "Where is everyone?" "Everyone?" "and Happy!" "Lucy... you mean that woman?" "but I ain't got any use for her." "executed?" "Just you try hurting a hair on her head..." "'Cause I'll turn you all into smoldering ashes!" "Extalia." "you're scary!" "Is everyone from Earthland this violent?" "Why just Lucy-san?" "What about Carla and Happy?" "The Exceeds?" "That ain't Happy's name!" "The Exceeds who have completed their duty have been sent back to their homeland." "They're probably getting their reward and having a big feast about now." "Completed their duty?" "Returning to Edolas is a violation of my orders." "I don't believe you!" "but Carla abandoned it!" "no..." "She fulfilled it quite well." "What exactly was her duty?" "You haven't figured it out yet?" "What are you doing?" "Excellent work!" "Who are you?" "I am simply a journalist!" "I was hoping perhaps to take an interview?" "go!" "This is the northern end of the plaza..." "I presume there are also guards stationed at the southern end?" "Go!" "Pardon me for disturbing your work!" "Damn... the onlookers will get wrapped up in it." "What'll I do?" "Huh?" "Where am I?" "wake up!" "He-cat?" "What happened to us?" "They put us to sleep." "Then..." "Where is this place?" "Carla?" "My "information" was a trap!" "That's not true!" "We were just found by accident!" "Carla!" "Even though I swore..." "I swore to protect Wendy..." "I will protect Wendy!" "I swore..." "You are the ones who have completed their duty on Earthland?" "Ichiya?" "You have excellent parfum." "a cat?" "Why are you so surprised?" "are we not?" "Nichiya-san!" "They have never been to Edolas before!" "I bet this is the first time for them to see other Exceeds." "is that so?" "Nichiya!" "Extalia's Minister of State." "Good job completing your duty." "Duty?" "Carla?" "but the Queen awaits you." "Follow me." "you say?" "Carla..." "Leave this to me." "I'll take a little bit and observe our surroundings." "okay?" "Good work." "More cats... this way!" "What in the world... come!" "freshly caught!" "and one of those... too." "Coming right up!" "yes?" "I'll throw this one in for free!" "you're always so generous!" "it's the Queen's great benevolence that allows me to run this shop every day." "Indeed..." "Thanks for coming!" "For real!" "I saw it when I went to the surface to gather info!" "What did you see?" "this big!" "You big liar!" "There's no way there could be a caterpillar that big!" "the human king..." "He is controlled by we Exceeds... over here!" "Wait!" "It's a land of cats..." "Nichiya-sama!" "have a nice day!" "too!" "are they the rumored..." "They completed their duty on Earthland!" "heroes!" "Look at how beautiful she is!" "Everyone's a cat..." "We aren't cats." "We're Exceeds." "who stand over humans and guide them!" "Exceeds..." "Extalia!" "Here they come!" "Finally!" "it has finally started..." "Yes." "the kingdom will finally be secure." "This is the south side..." "I presume? so there's no need to guard it." "Hey!" "Don't you dare put that in the article!" "Of course not..." "I know well the kinds of things I should and shouldn't write." "For I am a journalist!" "The plaza is only guarded on the north and south." "There are less people to the north than the south." "The ceremony will occur on the south side of the lacrima." "I get it." "Humans are just a horribly foolish and inferior species." "or else... they have a horrible parfum..." "Parfum means smell." "The Queen controls the humans from here." "The Queen has a wonderful parfum!" "It's a real problem if they just increase their numbers too much." "The humans that aren't needed are killed by the orders of the Queen." "why?" "The Queen said that it was to rectify the vanishing magic situation." "but the humans in Earthland as well." "She decides the death of humans?" "The Queen has the right." "you ask?" "Because she is a god!" "God?" "What is our duty?" "I've had this duty planted inside me." "She has been selected by the Queen's human control project..." "Wendy!" "Carla?" "!" "Quiet." "exterminate Wendy?" "!" "Wha..." "Then..." "Our duty..." "What?" "It can't..." "Ignorance was bliss for you..." "My duty was to exterminate Natsu?" "What?" "That can't..." "I..." "Natsu..." "He-cat!" "We didn't complete our duty!" "We never had any intention to!" "So how is it that you think we have?" "perhaps?" "There is nothing to be done about it." "after all." "Answer me!" "I'lla explain. 100 Exceeds were sent to Earthland 6 years ago. and carried information telling them to exterminate them." "But the situation changed." "The Anima that the humans created opened up another possibility." "we would use their magic power." "the Dragon Slayers would be an exceptionally large part!" "That's why your duty was changed by emergency order." "To... "Lead the Dragon Slayers here." "What we really wanted was you..." "Your dragon magic power." "I have to hurry." "But there are too many people for me to make my move." "what's that?" "What?" "It's in celebration of the magic extraction!" "Just a little fireworks!" "Fireworks!" "do it!" "What's that?" "!" "I didn't hear about any fireworks!" "I'm counting on you." "Get to it!" "North?" "I'll leave the rest to you." "there was something written there!" "North of the plaza!" "Some suspicious fellow is after the lacrima!" "What?" "That's not good!" "The north is the back of the lacrima!" "Our defenses aren't solid enough there!" "Leave a third here and head to the north!" "Move the spectators back!" "please!" "Get farther back!" "Okay!" "Now I can really cut loose!" "what are you doing?" "Stand back!" "but I'll trust him for now!" "Pillar of the Iron Dragon!" "All according to plan." "Sword of the Iron Dragon!" "There's more where that came from!" "What?" "!" "It looks like the long-distance order overwriting wasn't properly transmitted." "But it worked out in the end!" "after all. to the humans." "The humans are more skilled at that." "N-No..." "I-I came to Edolas of my own free will..." "Nope." "Just following orders." "I took them to the tunnel to save everyone..." "You didn't notice?" "We guided you there." "Carla..." "What in the world..." "I..." "I love Wendy..." "I said I wanted to protect her..." "That's just a kind of delusion." "Your orders were changed from "exterminate" to "lead here"." "it was changed to "you mustn't kill"." "That's a lie!" "Everything you've done was following our orders." "We are not puppets!" "H-He..." "We're Fairy Tail wizards!" "Happy..." "Okay!" "Time to go pick everyone up!" "sir!" "Let me grab onto you and we'll fly there in a jiffy!" "Except we can't use magic!" "get it together." "A Happy that can't fly's just some talking cat." "that's a very hurtful thing you just said." "Next time:" "Fly!" "To Your Friends!" "then what's a Natsu who can't shoot flames?" "A Salamander who can't shoot flames..." "A Mander?" "Huh?"
