"which was used by an alternate world Edolas that has begun to lose its magic power. where they meet the members of the Edolas Fairy Tail. but is also known by the title "Fairy Hunter Erza"." "This is Edolas's Fairy Tail." "what again?" "then..." "And you came to Edolas in order to rescue your friends?" "Right." "too?" "And Erza is on your side over there?" "yes." "Aye." "That's not so easy to swallow." "But it's true that this Natsu isn't the Natsu we know." "The only thing they have in common is the way they look." "You can say that again." "Key of Hope." "This girl is who I am in that other world?" "Hello..." "Wendy!" "we'd like you to tell us how to get to the Royal City." "Our friends have been sucked up by this world's king!" "everyone will be converted into magic power..." "They'll be gone forever!" "but you'd be better off stopping now." "and you forfeit your lives." "That's just how powerful the kingdom is." "Magic power is limited in this world." "It's not infinite." "it'll be used up eventually." "the King of Edolas tried to monopolize all magic." "Juvia-chan?" "all Wizard Guilds were ordered to disband." "Everyone resisted at first." "But one after another were crushed before the might of the Royal Army's magic regiments." "This is the only guild that is left." "we haven't been spared casualties." "We've lost almost half our members." "as well..." "Damn it all..." "It takes all we got just to keep one step ahead of them!" "So you should stay away." "Go back to your world." "Please." "Tell us the way." "I will save my friends." "No matter what." "This is the Royal City of Edolas." "The United Chiefs of Staff." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Check out that giant lacrima!" "Hughes." "yes." "That's like tens of thousands of Earthland people's magic! plus a great deal of other living things." "Sugar Boy!" "whoa!" "Hughes." "Sugar Boy." "Erza Knightwalker." "Also known as Fairy Hunter Erza." "dudes... kinda whoa." "whoa whoa." "indeed." "have you not yet done in Fairy Tail?" "Byro!" "You're starting to give the designation "Fairy Hunter" a bad name..." "Byro." "The only guild left iz now Fairy Tail." "they are the guild that runz the fastest." "But our highnezz will be expecting results soon." "Don't be hasty." "The day our goddess catches her Fairy prey will come soon." "That's right!" "man!" "Whoa!" "Byro." "Panther Lily." "I do not like those with loud mouths." "Hughes." "Panther Lily." "me too?" "than any of us!" "Shut your mouth for a bit." "Lily?" "He doesn't seem pleased with the recent military buildup." "He should have welcomed it as a military man... our kingdom basically encompasses the entire world." "It is true that there is no obvious reason for a further strengthening of the army." "Isn't it because there are still a few pockets of resistance?" "we alone would easily suffice." "I don't get it!" "complicated..." "I don't get it!" "Your highness!" "Your highness!" "Your highness!" "We will be able to extract magic power right on schedule!" "Coco." "We did it!" "Not enough... what did you just say?" "I said it was not enough." "your highness..." "That lacrima represents the magic power of an entire Earthland city!" "It's enough to power the kingdom's magic for the next 10 years!" "Our great kingdom of Edolas must have no limits." "Give it to us..." "Give more magic power to us..." "What I seek is eternity!" "An endless supply of magic power!" "Faust!" "Okay..." "Stay right there..." "Hold it!" "What is he doing?" "I wonder how much longer 'til we get to the Royal City... remember?" "And they told us it would take 5 days to walk there." "so we have no choice but to walk." "Can we really not use magic anymore?" "I don't know." "But it doesn't bode well... help out!" "I've never seen a frog like this before." "I'll bring it back as a present for Lucy!" "I don't think she'll like it." "It's huge!" "it's attacking!" "All right!" "Fist of the..." "I forgot I can't use magic!" "either!" "I'll do it even without magic!" "Natsu?" "Scary Lucy!" "Scary Lucy-san!" "Quit calling me "scary"!" "That guy wasn't much." "But why are you here?" "or anything." "all right." "How does that follow exactly?" "those kinds of lines are totally "Lucy"." "I wanna show Lucy this scary Lucy." "I can't wait to see the look on the real one's face!" "So I'm a fake?" "!" "Technique 12:" "The Back-Crack Bridge!" "she's scary all right." "Can this continue for 5 days?" "I can tell it's going to be hard going..." "Seriously." "Crap." "I've been thrown to one whacked out place." "Sheesh..." "This is messed up." "and reported it." "That's what drew them to us." "I still can't believe that Erza's our enemy." "though." "Oh?" "no..." "I was talking about Erza!" "what's unbelievable is that we could ever get along with Erza." "isn't it?" "There isn't a wizard out there who doesn't fear her." "Just seeing her face means certain death." "I really don't want to run into her." "The one I know is scary enough!" "we're here." "Can you see it?" "Happy!" "Walking for days sure was tough." "The buildings are kind of round?" "Let's hurry." "Thank you so much for coming with us." "F-Follow me." "You won't be able to go any farther without some magic weapons." "Scary Lucy!" "Scary Lucy!" "You picking' a fight?" "!" "This is the city of Louen." "magic was bought and sold normally." "trafficking in magic is forbidden." "And that's not all." "Even possessing it is a crime." "Just possessing it is a crime?" "What happened to the people who could always use it?" "What?" "right?" "what do you mean people who could always use magic?" "magic is an object." "Object? it means that there aren't people like us who hold magic within their own bodies." "Physical objects like lacrima can hold magic power." "you create magic items." "That's referred to generally as "magic"." "So the wizards over here just use magic items?" "I suppose." "We're here." "There's a magic black market underground here." "You'll need it if you want to travel." "Black market?" "Guess we gotta play by the rules here to use magic." "Aye." "You adapt quick." "another Earthland wizard can be seen entering Louen." "where should I start?" "Guess I should get it over with and ask." "Hey." "I'd like to ask you something." "wait!" "do it?" "no matter where I go." "bud?" "You damn fly!" "Damn fly?" "Me?" "Ain't nobody else here but you!" "how about "maggot"?" "I'm not laughing." "Y-You bastard!" "Ow!" "A huge lacrima showed up recently." "Where is it?" "Spit it out!" "I-I don't know!" "Is that so?" "Then you get a second helping..." "Wait!" "We really don't know!" "Right?" "Right?" "yeah... then." "I'll ask someone else." "you guys." "since when did you get so strong?" "Yeah." "you'd never get in a fight." "Could it be another me that's here in Edolas?" "what's the Gajeel here do?" "Huh?" "I just happen to look like him." "right?" "You look identical." "just answer me." "What does Gajeel usually do?" "He's a freelance writer here in Edolas with a terrible reputation." "Writer?" "All he does is write articles in magazines and newspapers criticizing the kingdom." "That's why he's hated by all the people in town." "So that's why no one would talk with me." "huh?" "I kinda want to meet this guy." "There's a whole lot of iffy-looking things lined up." "This shop stinks of mold." "That's because we have some antique items with a long history!" "dear customers." "I don't care about mystique." "All I care about is whether they're useful." "so be real careful when you buy anything." "you got any fire magic?" "I have just the thing!" "How about this?" "flaming sword!" "and then... yes?" "but it's better than nothing." "you have very good taste!" "I like this." "What's good about it?" "It's small and cute!" "look here." "Choosing like that isn't going to do us any good." "That's called an Air Bullet Gun." "but if you open it a little like this..." "Wind Magic!" "How romantic." "you have very good taste!" "we'll take these two." "Thank you very much!" "000 each!" "That's pretty expensive... so they're quite valuable... aren't we forgetting something important?" "Do you have any money?" "Of course not!" "This isn't a laughing matter!" "All I have in my pocket are some biscuits." "pay the man." "Being pressured like this..." "Maybe I kind of like it?" "Something the matter?" "Fine then!" "I'll treat you." "Lucy-sama!" "You really saved me when those hoodlums showed up that time." "that wasn't anything much." "consider them a present from me!" "we'll take them with our thanks." "old dude!" "Scary Lucy is really dependable!" "I told you not to call me scary!" "You've got a lot of pull around here." "You've really saved us." "By the way..." "I'm kind of interested in hearing about the Lucy over there..." "I'm writing a novel?" "!" "and use key magic?" "though." "Don't call me noisy!" "We just bought this..." "But how do I use it?" "You stupid..." "Don't show magic in front of other people!" "remember?" "I'm sorry... right?" "Yes." "The bastards from the kingdom have stolen away a part of our culture." "But why?" "So they can monopolize it." "right?" "Do you understand how crazy that sounds?" "There's no way to fight the Royal Army!" "Then why did you follow us?" "Because I wanted to tell you how to get to the Royal City." "I wasn't planning to fight or anything... then!" "Thanks a lot." "There they are!" "Seal off the entrance to the city!" "The Royal Army!" "yes?" "Stay right there!" "We've already been discovered?" "then!" "Let's try this sucker out!" "Don't!" "Let's go!" "Fire!" "how do I use this again?" "!" "How should I know?" "Shields?" "One more!" "remember?" "All magic has a certain number of times it can be used!" "Just once?" "!" "you can use it about 100 times!" "Capture them!" "Um..." "Um..." "This is bad!" "Wendy?" "I'm sorry!" "Over there!" "Capture them at all costs!" "sir!" "but we won't be able to leave the city at this rate." "The magic here is hard to use." "Yeah..." "What'll we do?" "Isn't there another entrance?" "We're in trouble..." "Fairy Tail!" "Let me go!" "Huh?" "Come with us!" "right?" "but what's going on here?" "Lucy!" "Me?" "sheesh!" "Why is Lucy here?" "W-What's going on?" "Man..." "I have to save her!" "Hey!" "I open thee!" "we can't use magic in this world!" "Scorpio!" "We are!" "Sandbuster!" "Magic?" "How?" "T-That's..." "I'm going on a date with Aquarius now." "Later." "Lucy..." "You guys!" "I missed you!" "Somebody explain what's going on..." "Aye..." "Me?" "!" "how much longer until the Edolas me shows up?" "Don't ask me... anyway?" "We could have a contest to see whose flames are hotter... etc..." "There's plenty of possibilities!" "we didn't come here to play." "right?" "Next time:" "Fireball!" "after all." "I'll fight him totally seriously!" "That's not what I meant." "But whatever!"
