"Previously on Fairy Tail:" "The S Class Wizard Advancement Exam has finally begun! and win your way through... right off the bat!" "but that's 'cause I held back a little." "Nice try there." "That's Tenroujima." "Are you sure it's okay for us to follow them there?" "Why not?" "We're just going to watch." "I see." "she..." "Mest." "It happened a week ago..." "Wendy." "And you are?" "I'm Mest." "I was Mystogan's disciple." "Mystogan's disciple?" "!" "I've heard quite a lot about you from Mystogan!" "what are you doing?" "I want to know what the snow tastes like." "Don't worry about me." "Okay..." "What's with this guy?" "Would you lend me a hand?" "Is that any attitude to have when asking favors?" "! I have a tendency to get obsessed about it." "I can get to know the world of an S Class wizard." "lend me your aid." "someone like me..." "Of course not!" "I want to know." "I want to know what the river is like in winter." "Don't go along with this weirdo!" "Absolutely not!" "But he doesn't seem like a bad person." "he does!" "I wasn't able to return all the kindness Mystogan showed me at all..." "You saved Edolas!" "That's plenty!" "But that was more just how things turned out..." "It wasn't about how I felt..." "Don't!" "Just don't!" "she decided to help Mest in Mystogan's stead." "And that's why you haven't spoken this past week." "She's a lot more stubborn than she looks." "Same to you." "I don't care really about this Mest guy." "It's the exam as a whole I have a really bad feeling about." "is it?" "so I can't say." "I'm curious about this Mest fellow." "Mystogan's disciple..." "It doesn't sit right." "I want to know." "I want to know your abilities." "they're going to attack!" "it's Mest and Wendy we get to fight with..." "I ain't holding back!" "Ice Make..." "Hammer!" "When did he...." "Power..." "Power of the heavens!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "grant me the power!" "all right..." "Ice Make Floor!" "All that's left is Wendy!" "either!" "Ultimate Secret Technique:" "Just Eating Pickled Plums!" "but just watching makes my mouth pucker up!" "Is this some kind of transmission magic?" "I can only run!" "Regulus at full brightness!" "the pair of Evergreen and Elfman have engaged Mirajane." "She who strikes first wins!" "Stone Eyes!" "that magic doesn't work!" "And can you dodge these while looking away?" "Fairy Machine Gun Leprechaun!" "Evergreen!" "I see." "Full Body Take Over!" "Beast Soul!" "The finishing blow." "Wait!" "Evergreen." "I'll tell you something you might want to know." "Mest-san!" "I didn't realize those guys would be so strong... sure they're strong!" "I'm going to follow in Mystogan's footsteps!" "I can't lose!" "Loke!" "Huh?" "Um..." "We lost." "I didn't know that!" "Gray-san and Loke-san went on ahead." "either?" "It's because I wasn't any help..." "Even though I decided to try as hard as I could... you're not hurt?" "No..." "Right on!" "We cleared the first test! I'd feel better about what's coming up." "Cana might be a tough one." "Don't be a fool." "There's no such thing as an easy path to becoming an S Class wizard." "I know." "I was just thinking we did well by beating Mest..." "Speaking of which..." "Was he always that weak?" "Putting Wendy aside..." "I thought he was stronger before." "It's that we've gotten stronger." "Huh?" "I can't remember." "Have I fought with him before?" "too?" "Lucy'll think that's hot." "Hmm..." "Mest said that he got pretty far in last year's exam... he did..." "He..." "Who was his partner last time?" "again?" "Why is it?" "I can't remember at all..." "Neither can I." "I can tell something is hazy about my memories of Mest." "It's true..." "It's like my memories of Mest are broken off somewhere." "Loke!" "I figured you two would pass the first test!" "for now." "We were lucky and got the peaceful route." "Lucky?" "!" "I didn't get to smack anyone!" "So we're the only ones to pass the first exam?" "Where's Natsu?" "He's over there." "What's wrong with him?" "What happened?" "You see..." "I think everyone is here." "Master!" "to date." "and passed through!" "What?" "!" "and passed through!" "You've gotta be kiddin' me!" "though." "Levy and Gajeel passed through the peaceful route with good luck!" "You're sayin' I got good luck?" "!" "and passed through!" "Did Juvia fail?" "Gramps?" "Juvia and Lisanna hit upon... her." "That female knight who knows not the meaning of holding back!" "The End." "We lose." "Then all that's left is Elfman and Evergreen." "they must have taken the route..." "Mirajane..." "Sucks to be them." "I could still have won." "Hold it!" "We beat Oneechan!" "We've passed through the first test!" "Incredible!" "How did you beat Mira?" "!" "I can't say..." "As a Man." "Let's just say we managed to find an opening to slip through." "I wonder?" "Anyway..." "The teams that passed the first test are:" "Elfman and Evergreen." "Those five teams." "Now we will begin the second test!" "how long are you going to sulk?" "No..." "Just thinking about something." "Natsu is!" "Thinking about!" "Something!" "How little do you take him for?" "Let's fight again sometime." "Natsu." "Gildarts." "Elfman!" "Let's fight and see just who'll become an S Class wizard!" "I ain't gonna lose to." "Neither will I." "I will take on that challenge!" "I'm gettin' fired up!" "sir!" "no matter what!" "I won't hold back." "strays." "Those who would be Men!" "get it together!" "Doesn't look good for those two." "I will announce the details for the second test of the S Class Wizard Advancement Exam!" "our founding Guild Master." "Founding Guild Master?" "Mavis's grave..." "Huh?" "That sounds easy!" "Aye!" "You have only 6 hours!" "Hear that?" "I said 6 hours." "I'll be waiting at Mavis's grave." "Happy!" "sir!" "Wendy..." "How long are you going to stay like that?" "Because..." "Because..." "Wendy..." "Do you know why this island is called Fairy Tail's Holy Ground?" "rests." "Right." "But that's not all." "This island is usually hidden by a powerful barrier." "I hear." "And that's because there's more here than just Mavis's grave." "a big secret relating to Fairy Tail is hidden on this island." "What could that be?" "Don't ask me." "How about it?" "Want to explore?" "tried to avoid contact with the people of this world." "I heard that he would put everyone to sleep so as not to show his face in the guild." "It's difficult for me to think he'd take on a disciple." "What are you trying to say?" "however..." "What a pretty place!" "Be careful." "Is Mest really a member of the guild?" "What's this?" "!" "Lucy!" "This island is nuts..." "I might die here." "this ain't nothin'!" "Way to put on a brave face!" "Evergreen!" "Shut up!" "Don't order me around!" "Don't get in the way of the exam!" "Bad luck for the ones who showed up in front of Natsu." "Natsu." "Let's move on." "Happy." "Tell me where the grave of the founding master is!" "He's talking to it!" "I don't know..." "Oh." "It talked!" "having us search for a grave without even a hint..." "This second test might be harder than we thought." "Oh yeah..." "Wasn't this island shaped like this?" "Yeah." "That top seem suspicious to you?" "Totally!" "Right!" "I knew partnering with you was the right choice!" "Happy!" "sir!" "This is the examiner's base on Tenroujima." "What?" "!" "Elfman and Evergreen are getting married?" "they landed some attacks." "Hold it!" "when did those two start..." "No..." "I think it was just a plan to throw me off guard." "Guess I have a long way to go." "Is it really just a plan?" "Those two?" "I don't really see it." "if they get married and have a kid..." "Mira..." "It's cute the way you imagined it." "actually." "K-K-Kids... where's Fried?" "They went back to the guild with Gildarts." "That was fast..." "I wish I could have seen him off." "where did Mest and Wendy go?" "They're late." "Did they forget the meeting place?" "Kids... huh?" "Kids... so I don't know much." "right?" "Did he?" "I feel like he's always been there..." "I guess." "Juvia will go look for them." "It is a little worrying..." "Then I'll go as well." "stay here." "But Juvia wanted to go cheer on Gray-sama!" "Those who are Men should not run from their enemies!" "Shut up!" "Can't you just be quiet?" "!" "Watch out!" "Oww..." "Hey!" "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "That thing from before was a tactic to throw Mira off her guard!" "An act!" "I sure hope you didn't start thinking that I had a thing for you!" "Not even for a second." "But I am thankful." "That was one excellent under-handed plan you thought up." "Don't call it under-handed." "People?" "people?" "And I'd thought there wouldn't be anyone at this place." "Who the hell are you?" "Only members of our guild can enter here." "Guild?" "Oh..." "So this island was controlled by a guild." "you!" "Don't!" "You mustn't get close to me..." "What the hell are you saying?" "I know." "I'll leave." "please..." "Don't get close to me." "What's with this guy?" "Can we just leave him alone?" "I-It's no use!" "Here it comes!" "The predatory death is coming!" "Get down!" "Natsu?" "Who..." "Who are you?" "!" "Happy?" "100 episodes too late." "anyway?" "But I'm sure there's got to be a reason." "you know." "An old passerby?" "Not someone important from long ago?" "Next time:" "Black Wizard." "Maybe it's because I'm like the bluebird of happiness?" "and I have wings and fly!" "but you're a cat. why are you here?" "Don't go scaring' me like that." "Natsu..." "Natsu!" "What's with you?" "Weren't we heading to the top?" "but I smelled something' really freaky." "W-What's that?" "The trees around him are..." "They're dieing!" "Black Wizard." "Is that his magic?" "You don't see that every day." "What the hell is he?" "but this island belongs to our guild!" "Don't go busting' in on our exam!" "You've... grown up nice and strong." "Yeah..." "Natsu..." "Who are you?" "!" "He punched him!" "Right off the bat!" "Figured that's what he'd do." "I see..." "You're not ready yet... you can't yet destroy me." "I don't know you." "State your name!" "Even though I don't want to kill anyone anymore..." "Natsu..." "It's too soon?" "H-He's crying..." "This guy takes creepy to a whole new level." "R-Run!" "Again!" "It's that black wave from before!" "That's magic that steals away life!" "Natsu!" "All of you get away from here!" "Natsu!" "don't go there!" "What the hell..." "Damn it." "Natsu!" "I'm fine..." "But he..." "Disappeared?" "What just happened?" "what's wrong?" "Your scarf!" "It's turned black." "How dare you do that to this scarf I got from Igneel!" "Maybe Igneel's scarf took the brunt of it to protect Natsu..." "I'm going to continue being rejected by the world again..." "This magical power..." "This pressure..." "Is it him?" "Is he here on this island?" "a new danger is fast approaching Tenroujima." "the strongest power among the Dark Guilds... once an aide to Jellal who has fought Natsu and the others previously." "though." "Master Hades. and plunged the world into chaos." "and most evil man in the history of the Magic World..." "The Black Wizard Zeref!" "Has the day finally come when I can reach out and touch the deepest depths of magic?" "Begin!" "Change course to head to the fairy's island." "Black..." "How dare that bastard do this to Igneel's scarf!" "Natsu..." "How can I wear a black scarf with dark clothes?" "!" "That's a fashion faux pas!" "He's picky about his coordination?" "Who'd a thunk it. {going too far?" "}" "what about the exam?" "yeah." "Yeah..." "It's most definitely the time for that!" "I will not back away from this exam!" "I promised Gildarts!" "And I am my big sister's little brother!" "I've got a duty to become S class!" "He really was freaky... and killed those trees... you sure have a lot of weird friends!" "He ain't my friend!" "But he didn't seem like he wanted to be your enemy." "I give up." "Continue on with the exam!" "sir!" "Evergreen!" "I thought I told you not to order me around!" "He's here on this island." "Should I return and report this at once?" "No..." "First I've got to make sure of the situation." "Has the time finally come?" "The day the legendary Black Wizard Zeref is resurrected..." "All the necessary keys already lie in our hands." "We will awake something from within Zeref." "But there is one problem." "Fairy Tail... one of the members of the Baram Alliance." "Some of the most powerful members of that guild are currently gathered on that island." "What?" "!" "What?" "!" "They ain't nothing!" "Guys like those I'll turn 'em all into ashes!" "{this guy always speaks in exclamations -yo}" "Zancrow." "One should not underestimate the enemy." "It was for this day that I was bahrn." "Capricorn." "I..." "Let loose our desire." "This will be an all-out war for our guild." "shards of ourselves..." "You're speaking too fast!" "I will now explain what Hikaru just said." "I feel that way myself." "And now I will decipher what Rustyrose said." "and shard means heart." "can you fight?" "I will fight." "Interesting..." "This is quite interesting!" "Fairy Tail!" "They do not yet know true darkness." "The ultimate darkness that lies in the deepest depths..." "Grimoire Heart!" "The name itself means the heart of a devil." "Tonight we Devils will have sport with the Fairies." "or be pound into dust?" "Fairy Tail!" "Mavis..." "Got anything?" "It's no use..." "Searching for a grave without even a hint!" "I haven't got a clue." "yeah..." "Are there really no hints?" "so I've got a feeling..." "I don't think there's ever been an exam that was unreasonable." "I'm sure there has to be a hint hidden somewhere." "I see." "So the second test is about brain power." "maybe the words themselves could hold a clue." "The words?" "Yeah." "Like for example..." "Grave!" "right?" "But it could be interpreted as the "final stop of life"." "That's so negative of you." "Grave..." "Grave..." "A keyword?" "Maybe it's a sentence?" "Did I just hear something?" "Maybe it's my imagination." "etc..." "Marriage is the grave of one's life." "you're negative." "There's got to be something more Lucy-like you can think of... they become stars!" "Um..." "Is that the way people picture me?" "I suppose." "I know..." "That's it!" "I bet I know where the grave is!" "What?" "Follow me!" "impressive!" "As expected from Lucy..." "She's a lucky one." "Hurry up!" "I bet Levy-chan will have solved this by now!" "Gray." "but I think this second test is designed to test brain power and "how much you want it"." "Just like romance!" "There you go!" "Let's follow them!" "Okay!" "but where did Wendy and Mest go?" "Even though Juvia wanted to go cheer on Gray-sama..." "Somehow I have to go my separate ways with Erza..." "And then..." "Unison Raid!" "you're the only partner for me." "become my life partner!" "Gray-sama!" "How many children would you like?" "Juvia." "Do you have a fever?" "all is fine!" "I see." "Juvia can barely stand this!" "why don't we split up... we'll get separated ourselves." "Is it that you're frightened of me?" "I apologize about before." "Before?" "The time we fought during the first test." "Maybe I should have held back a little." "But being S Class isn't something to take lightly." "and it was a tough and difficult road." "It was really something." "too!" "You mustn't sully the name of the guild!" "and whatnot... etc... quick... but Juvia never really wanted to pass this test... just back from Edolas." "perhaps!" "But!" "not in the slightest!" "I just..." "I just want you to understand that." "it's fine." "Neither Juvia or Lisanna-san thinks that way." "if we could go our separate ways..." "I see!" "You understand!" "yes?" "Let's keep working together from now on!" "we'll find Wendy and Mest!" "Gray-sama is floating farther away..." "Mira-nee." "Let's see..." "Delicious!" "Really?" "All right!" "Looks like you've gotten better at cooking while in Edolas." "That's because the Mira-nee over there was also good at cooking." "It's really like a dream that the three of us can live together as siblings again." "Mira-nee... isn't it a bit too salty?" "And the way you chopped the vegetables could use some work." "So now is when you start complaining?" "Shut up!" "Don't run!" "What's wrong with this exam?" "Chose a path?" "Find a grave?" "whatever!" "I came here 'cause I wanted to beat up Salamander or Erza..." "But these giant monsters are all so boring!" "So you don't care what happens to me?" "I ain't said that!" "But you just fight with everything..." "You don't think anything of me." "Nothing at all." "little one?" "Then you'd better get big and strong to face me head on!" "that's just how it is." "I'm small." "you get better things to do than get depressed." "Get lost already!" "Stupid Gajeel!" "What's wrong with him?" "And I thought maybe he wasn't so bad..." "Such a jerk..." "I hate him..." "I hate him!" "I hate him." "Gajeel?" "What?" "Who are you?" "we take one!" "It's tough finding' someone small like you." "So don't leave my side." "Okay." "So who are these guys?" "That mark..." "Grimoire Heart!" "The strongest of the Black Guilds...." "Why here?" "So the master invited Dark Guilds to be part of the test?" "I can't believe that." "These guys broke in from somewhere." "accidents happen on the job." "all the more." "I don't think I could say you're qualified to be S class." "But they're from Grimoire Heart..." "Part of the Baram Alliance..." "They shouldn't just attack us on their own!" "That'w what's wrong with official guilds." "There's no rules in war-peron!" "War?" "What is your objection?" "We are Grimoire Heart Wizards!" "Yomazu!" "Kawazu!" "Yomazu and Kawazu?" "We're after..." "Me ears!" "...to hunt the Fairies here!" "Grimoire Heart." "they finally make their move." "Before them lies Tenroujima." "As well as Natsu and the others." "this'll do!" "You just turned it inside out!" "Grave!" "S Class!" "Why are all the men in my guild such idiots?" "The story that began with the S Class Advancement Exam has begun moving in a direction no one could have ever predicted." "The battle surrounding the legendary Black Wizard Zeref now is beginning!" "Righto!" "Let's have meat for lunch today!" "What?" "Meat again?" "I'd rather have fish..." "I can't get any power with fish." "Gotta be meat." "Natsu..." "You stubborn fool!" "if me and him went head to head I'd win." "It's not really a compliment." "Next time:" "Soul of Iron." "how hard is your head anyway?" "Stop saying I've got a hard head!" "I'm all out of gags here." "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "sir!" "The S Class Wizard Advancement Exam has finally started!" "didn't they?" "I'm all fired up!" "but..." "It was hard right off the bat." "what was the second test again?" "Mavis's grave." "But a weirdo went and barged in on us!" "damn you!" "Erza-san..." "What kind of magic does Mest-san use?" "I suppose you aren't yet aware." "that!" "You know..." "Erza-san?" "What do you mean that Mest might not be a member of the guild? the more clear my knowledge of Mest becomes." "Huh?" "I don't follow you in the slightest." "It's unnatural." "even though I just joined the guild..." "His name is Mest Gryder." "the Prince." "but unfortunately failed." "That's all." "Any other information on him is cloudy and vague..." "See why I told her not to partner with that weirdo!" "we must hurry!" "Wendy might be in danger!" "I've never seen this kind of flower before!" "look!" "I want to know!" "I want to know what these strange flowers taste like!" "Please don't eat the flowers!" "Natsu..." "Aren't we heading to the top?" "I'd like to..." "But I ain't gonna be satisfied until I give that bastard who did this to Igneel's scarf a taste of my fist!" "So..." "You're gonna search for the grave while also searching for that guy?" "Just choose one or the other... geez!" "I guess." "What are you people after?" "To hunt the fairies here!" "Thundering Roar" "Soul of Iron." "What a racket!" "Magic from letters?" "It's the same magic as yours!" "Levy?" "That magic is Eastern Solid Script!" "Gajeel!" "hey!" "He can't hear me?" "Eggs?" "Egg Buster!" "Damn it..." "I can't hear his steps with all the noise!" "Gajeel!" "Solid Script:" "Silent!" "The noise has gone back to normal!" "Did your writing cancel out mine?" "I heard that!" "There!" "Fire!" "Zuzazazazazazaza" "How dare you!" "Slash" "Supepepepepepe" "Slash-Slash" "Man..." "This is messed up..." "Fire!" "There's too many!" "Levy!" "He's cutting my iron scales like they're nothing?" "!" "Go" "Bi" "Ba" "Do" "Za" "Stab" "Kasha" "Darkness Sword..." "No!" "Crying Bite!" "Zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan-zan..." "Zan!" "Jaki" "Gajeel!" "Gajeel... I bet we can finish them all off before the main force arrives." "you say?" "Looks like he's still alive-peron." "Grimoire Heart!" "B-But... escape." "This isn't just some war." "It's gonna be way bigger than that." "I... on the double!" "I can handle these chumps fine on my own!" "You aren't getting away!" "Gajeel!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Hurry and go!" "Iron?" "don't die." "Damn you..." "Letting that woman get away." "Whatever-peron..." "Just makes the hunt more fun-peron." "is it?" "Y-You can stand?" "Reminds me of back then..." "I'll show you that picking a fight with Fairy Tail was a mistake!" "Yeah..." "You're gonna taste the same fear!" "The full force of Grimoire Heart is coming to attack!" "I don't know why..." "But I have to tell everyone!" "Something terrible is happening!" "Gajeel..." "Roar of the Iron Dragon!" "Block" "What the... look above you!" "Heavy Egg Rain!" "Shubabababababa" "You think my forged iron is going to lose to that rusty blade?" "!" "Take this!" "You're a pest!" "Stab-stab-stab-stab" "Stab!" "You're open!" "What?" "I-I can't lose." "Damn you!" "damn it!" "Levy..." "Levy..." "Levy!" "Where did you get those injuries?" "Juvia..." "What happened?" "We've got trouble!" "Gajeel is..." "Making an enemy of Fairy Tail..." "These guys are the same as I was back then..." "Gajeel was once part of another guild." "Its name was Phantom Lord. but were completely defeated and Phantom Lord was destroyed." "but..." "Yo!" "Master Makarov!" "What the hell are you here for?" "Whoa there..." "For a little talk." "Juvia entered my guild the other day." "She what?" "and she's pretty worried about you." "What the hell is that rain woman thinking?" "What are you going to do now?" "Beats me." "I ain't decided." "I'll get by somehow." "Can I ask you a question?" "What?" "What were you thinking when you picked a fight with us?" "What did Phantom Lord mean to you?" "What did the guild mean to you?" "What did being a wizard mean to you?" "That's more than one question." "They're all the same." "think about who you are?" "Would you have taken people's lives if Jose had ordered you to?" "Are you that unquestioning?" "that's no different than being a puppet." "But I don't think you're as boring a man as that." "Shut up already." "Leave me alone." "There's no need to throw yourself into the darkness." "How about it?" "Wanna join my guild?" "You must be joking!" "Are you serious?" "!" "There are people in this world who prefer solitude." "But there is no one who can withstand it." "I'm the one who destroyed your guild!" "Let's put all that aside." "And..." "I hurt your friends..." "That... no matter what. it'd be myself I could never forgive." "This isn't me saving you." "I'm simply showing you the path to tomorrow." "or will you stop?" "It's up to you to decide." "I can't lose!" "damn it!" "I'm a Fairy Tail Wizard!" "My katana!" "My soul!" "Secret Dragon Slayer Art!" "Hi~" "Karma Demon:" "Iron God Sword!" "Gajeel!" "This is..." "Gajeel-kun?" "Gajeel!" "I told you I could handle 'em by myself..." "Gajeel..." "It's over!" "The main force will be here any moment!" "Wizards far out of my league are coming!" "The Seven Kin of Purgatory!" "Seven Kin?" "I'm halting the exam." "deploy for battle!" "Condition red!" "Prepare to intercept!" "An enemy?" "On this island?" "That's not good." "What's that?" "A red signal..." "An enemy." "What about the exam?" "Hey... with this." "Is it that guy from before?" "That bastard!" "I wonder..." "That's a signal that means an enemy is coming to attack." "They're closing in now. but they think they can pick a fight with us?" "I'll turn the tables on 'em!" "sir!" "Why now?" "This is my final exam!" "Even though I wish to drop out of the guild..." "You've got to be kidding me!" "I'm continuing the exam!" "Cana..." "Cana." "Everyone feels the same way." "Gray!" "Loke!" "Why are the two of you here?" "We were foll..." "We just happened upon you!" "who cares?" "An enemy is coming..." "This is no time for exams." "Let's head to the emergency gathering area." "We don't have enough information now." "What's going to happen?" "Seriously... what should we do now?" "let's search for Mest and Wendy." "It's possible they're lost and don't know where the camp is." "I'll take Gajeel to the camp." "handle that." "A shrimp like you shouldn't push herself." "You sure talk big for a guy who can't stand up." "this is messed up." "Juvia wants to see Gray-sama very soon!" "let's hear what you're after." "You think I'd talk to the likes of you?" "It's Zeref..." "The legendary Black Wizard Zeref!" "Zeref is here on this island!" "Impossible!" "Zeref lived hundreds of years ago... yes." "I don't believe it!" "There's no way he's alive!" "Jellal..." "He's alive!" "He's been alive these past 400 years!" "But Master Hades says that he's currently "sleeping"." "I can't believe what you're saying. this world will be bathed in pure darkness!" "Don't be ridiculous!" "This is Fairy Tail holy ground!" "You're telling me you plan to run rampant on this divinely protected Fairy island?" "!" "Master Hade's personal guard will be here soon." "You'd do well not to underestimate the 7 Kin of Purgatory!" "Ultear!" "Rustyrose!" "Caprico-sama!" "Kain Hikaru!" "Zancrow!" "Meldy!" "And the final one is already on this island..." "Say what?" "what does that signal flare mean again?" "Um..." "Huh?" "I want to know!" "I seriously want to know!" "Mest-san?" "Mest-san..." "You really shouldn't try to put everything in your mouth." "This is bad..." "Should I make my move before the main forces come?" "Wendy!" "Carla!" "Lily?" "Get away from him right away!" "Mest!" "Who exactly are you?" "Who am I?" "and..." "Mystogan would not have taken on a disciple in this world." "Mest." "If that's your real name." "Who are you?" "!" "whoa!" "A bunch of guys I dunno are comin' here!" "That mark..." "Could they be Grimoire Heart?" "Why would a Dark Guild be here?" "Maybe this is also part of the S Class exam?" "testing our strength?" "Pretty weird festival." "we've gone from exams to festivals?" "Next time:" "Makarov's Charge." "it's not a festival!" "Then I guess they're enemies." "right?" "'kay?" "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "I want to know what this recap tastes like!" "Too damn suspicious..." "We headed off to Tenroujima isn't actually a member of the guild." "He is far too suspicious!" "But approaching the island was an even greater danger!" "I want to know this danger!" "You're just way too damn suspicious!" "I can't believe this." "and on this island?" "And to think that Master Hades of Grimoire Heart and his personal guard are coming here... if I recall." "And he said that one of them was already here on this island." "we must hurry!" "then return to the camp!" "Hey!" "What are the two of you doing all of a sudden?" "stay quiet!" "Who exactly are you?" "W-What are you talking about?" "I suspect you're a wizard whose magic can manipulate people's memories." "making them think you were a member." "everything seems completely out of place." "I can't think of anyone else you have any connection to." "to not know the meaning of the guild's signal flare..." "You're not going to talk your way out of this." "He disappeared!" "it's teleportation magic!" "No!" "Mest-san?" "Wendy!" "Makarov's Charge." "Watch out!" "An attack?" "!" "What's happening?" "He... protected Wendy?" "Who are you?" "Show yourself!" "You did well seeing through me..." "There's a person coming from the tree!" "Who in the world are you?" "My name is Azuma." "I am one of Grimoire Heart's Seven Kin of Purgatory." "Grimoire Heart?" "A Dark Guild." "So the signal flare before was to warn of incoming enemy attack?" "Let's just say you've realized far too late." "What... in blazes is happening?" "!" "I thought if I snuck onto Fairy Tail's holy ground" "I would find a skeleton or two in their closet..." "But the Black Wizard Zeref and Grimoire Heart's Lady luck is with me for sure..." "Zeref?" "Who are you?" "You haven't realized yet?" "I'm from the Magic Council!" "I infiltrated Fairy Tail to find dirty secrets to destroy you with..." "Magic Council?" "But that's... well... that's come to an end." "With the impossible to find Grimoire Heart coming here... that promotion will be more than a dream!" "It looks like I was right to station warships of the Magic Council's Enforcement and Detention Corps nearby just in case." "We'll round you all up!" "I'll crush all you devils' hearts!" "Warships?" "Are you talking about those?" "What did he do?" "The ships..." "Impossible!" "let us start again." "Mr. Official?" "stand back!" "A red signal flare..." "Signifying an incoming enemy attack..." "What have things come to?" "Mavis..." "Mavis Vermillion..." "I have led the enemy here to Fairy Tail's holy grounds..." "How far have I failed you?" "This is all my responsibility..." "I swear I will accept the punishment for this..." "So therefore... at least protect the young ones." "a big explosion from over there." "Yeah." "Are the enemy here already?" "Let's check it out." "Aye!" "W-What did he do?" "The ships all exploded in an instant!" "The Magic Council's warships..." "Like they were nothing at all..." "Lily!" "BLEVE." "If I only had a sword..." "Lily!" "I will support you!" "O swift wind that dashes through the heavens!" "Vernier!" "My body's gotten lighter!" "O strength of arm to cleave the heavens!" "Is this what they call Support Magic?" "Arms!" "With this I can dodge this explosion magic!" "Mest-san!" "I have a plan." "Please help me!" "W-What are you saying?" "I'm an official of the Magic Council!" "That doesn't matter right now!" "I want to protect Fairy Tail!" "Please lend me your power!" "I came here to destroy your guild so I could be promoted!" "I don't care about that!" "Because there's no way we'll be destroyed!" "Lily!" "Fly higher!" "Right!" "no matter how far you run." "Direct Line!" "A point-blank..." "Eliminating this guy first is the smart move." "Got you." "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "This is boring." "Tower Burst!" "What the heck was that?" "A tower of flame?" "No one in the guild can use magic like that!" "It's gotta be the enemy!" "I've hit my limit..." "So this is the Seven Kin of Purgatory I've heard rumors of?" "I wonder?" "And there are six more of these guys..." "There's no way... for Fairy Tail to win!" "Hey!" "Where's the meeting point again?" "It's a portable base." "You didn't hear?" "Going through these ruins is a short cut." "Why are we doing this when we should be searching for a grave?" "This is ridiculous!" "Why'd this have to happen now?" "!" "Cana..." "Gajeel... or they're going to show up..." "Everyone's split up right now..." "We're in big trouble if they attack as we are now!" "you're more into this than usual." "this is a war." "Let us go..." "To the Eden known as battle." "I'll... that... look!" "Don't call me Ul." "I-I'm sorry..." "Don't go being so nervous!" "Meldy?" "I can see it..." "The Fairy's Island..." "What's that?" "A giant?" "You kiddin' me?" "Big..." "Makarov..." "Begone!" "736... 48 years earlier... be the 3rd master of Fairy Tail?" "No way!" "I ain't cut out for it!" "can do it." "Don't call me a boy!" "I'm already 40!" "You love your friends..." "You are a human who can believe." "I am sure you will lead a wonderful guild." "Makarov..." "I entrust the future of Fairy Tail to you." "You may not pass any further!" "{YOU SHALL NOT PASS}" "Large explosion on the right side!" "He shredded our reinforced armor like nothing!" "What is this?" "!" "Increase speed!" "Jupiter..." "Our ship!" "He's a monster!" "This is Makarov?" "Ultear!" "Master!" "Time Ark..." "Restore... take everyone to the island!" "Master Hades?" "I shall deal with Makarov." "As you wish." "It matters not where you run to!" "I shall count to three before rendering judgment upon you." "The super magic which affects only those whom the caster views as enemies..." "One!" "is it?" "Two!" "What in the world happened?" "get yourself together!" "Wendy!" "Carla!" "Why are the two of you here?" "Hang in there..." "Damn it..." "Someone did this to them!" "Was it you?" "you bastard!" "My memory manipulation magic's worn off?" "Magic Explanation:" "Memory Manipulation is magic which enables you to alter other people's memories of yourself. the magic is lifted." "Natsu-san..." "He's a person from the Magic Council." "Nice coat you have there..." "Wait..." "The enemy is the Magic Council?" "!" "Ayiaah!" "That's not it..." "The enemy is Grimoire Heart." "A Dark Guild!" "Grimoire Heart?" "!" "Aren't they one of the three corners of the Dark Guild Baram Alliance?" "!" "What in the world is going on?" "damn it!" "I-I have to..." "People are coming from the sky!" "The weather forecast didn't say anything about this..." "The enemy... give me a break here..." "Are those all humans?" "They're already here..." "I will not allow trespassers!" "What a pain..." "The both of you." "These numbers are nothing to scoff at." "They're still coming down from the sky." "my..." "Here comes the noisy bunch." "I present to you this Fairy sacrifice..." "Mission start." "We can meet at last..." "Zeref..." "Is this the start of another war?" "Three!" "That's it!" "Fairy Law!" "Stop that." "Grimoire Law." "This magic is a deterrent." "I will not cast it recklessly. then together we shall reach the ultimate of unfortunate ends." "T-T-That's..." "It can't be...!" "I am heading on a journey." "Make this guild one to be proud of." "Master!" "Master?" "Makarov." "boy." "Master..." "Purehito... do you know about Lost Magic?" "as in chicken?" "that's roast chicken!" "not roast!" "It means magic that's disappeared into history!" "Where the heck did you get chicken from?" "after all." "That's what I'm trying to explain." "Next time:" "Lost Magic!" "I'm tired out." "Why are you tired when we haven't done anything yet?" "Maybe it's because I have to deal with you!" "We've come to this island to execute a certain mission." "Zeref." "And something else..." "I forget." "um..." "Why am I on my own?" "Where did everyone go?" "I shall count to three before rendering judgment upon you." "The super magic which affects only those whom the caster views as enemies..." "One!" "is it?" "Two!" "Three!" "That's it!" "Fairy Law!" "Stop that." "Grimoire Law." "T-T-That's..." "It can't be...!" "boy." "Master..." "Purehito..." "God damn those Magic Council bastards!" "They are so damn annoying!" "Calm down!" "huh?" "!" "but... boy." "Master?" "again." "These wannabe wizard thieves were talking crap about our guild." "Your feelings toward the guild are true." "But violence begets naught but more violence." "I don't get you at all." "A spirit of peace." "in harmony." "and such is true for magic." "huh?" "boy." "And hey!" "Stop calling' me boy!" "Master..." "Purehito..." "Why?" "Why you?" "Lost Magic!" "Why did you form a Dark Guild?" "Makarov?" "This world is filled with things that cannot be measured as good or evil." "the spirit of Fairy Tail shall never waver." "he has!" "Enough with the "boy"." "You are no longer a member of the guild." "But I do not wish to fight you." "at once?" "if only a smidgen that it would be my hand which must crush Fairy Tail." "I will not let you harm the guild!" "boy?" "rain of light!" "Makarov!" "shadow of eternal darkness!" "In that case... in an instant?" "!" "You cannot beat me." "without restriction!" "W-What is this?" "Grand Defense Magic Circle!" "Three Divine Pillars!" "Amaterasu's 100th formation." "Happy?" "Yeah!" "Sounded like an explosion!" "huh?" "There are so many of them..." "What in the world are they after?" "Who cares?" "Let's bust 'em up!" "All of you Grimey Warts!" "I-It's Grimoire Heart..." "Don't go correcting every little thing." "so..." "Could Grimoire Heart be after..." "Zeref..." "Stop messin' with me!" "Wind Edge!" "Cana is really in a fighting mood... they're trampling on our sacred ground!" "We ain't gonna let them off easy!" "control your anger!" "S-Sorry..." "Thanks for that." "there's no end to 'em." "It's just one right after another!" "But they aren't very tough." "All they have to their advantage is numbers." "Crap... this isn't going to end well for us." "not to mention stamina!" "Then I should summon Taurus or Sagittarius..." "Lucy!" "You should conserve your magic power." "bring on someone a little tougher!" "Water Lock!" "Blazes!" "How are we to search for Wendy like this?" "what in the world was that explosion before?" "Juvia sensed an incredible magic power..." "Right now we must concentrate on the enemy in front of us." "Right." "What if Gray-sama is also surrounded by the enemy?" "Juvia wants to go to Gray-sama's side soon!" "I told you to concentrate!" "I'm sorry!" "Dream Knock!" "Take Over!" "Lisanna?" "Yeah..." "These guys are dropping down all over the island." "until everyone shows up!" "Understood!" "Man!" "Evergreen!" "I'm pretty sure I told you not to order me around!" "What's this?" "I can't move!" "Don't look into her eyes!" "We're... turning to stone... but that kind of dirty trick isn't a very Manly way to fight." "Don't call it a dirty trick!" "The wars won't end." "Nothing changes." "Can people..." "Can society continue on living without persisting in this endless war?" "growing stronger..." "Why can't it be stopped?" "Why?" "I see now I was right in having high hopes for you." "And you supported the guild well for 48 years." "Makarov?" "yes..." "The point of congruence between two people who walked different paths..." "Is today the day in which the world's continuum is completed?" "You were a fine master." "You taught me peace." "You led me down the right path." "Whatever has happened to you?" "!" "Magic was once born from within darkness." "The power was suppressed." "It was feared. and the time came when it was considered a part of culture." "I saw it..." "That which is the essence of magic!" "Sleep." "Fairy Tail's story ends here." "It... isn't over." "Hear me... my successor." "What is this disturbance in my heart?" "over here!" "You damn cat!" "Annoying little..." "You're gonna get me not!" "Lily!" "don't overdo it!" "Damn it!" "I don't even have enough magic power to support my battle form!" "There's nothing we can do." "Wendy can't recover lost magic power." "So I have to wait for it to recover naturally?" "Even in such a desperate situation..." "Mest-san's disappeared." "Just ignore that guy." "you can't heal your own wounds?" "Of course she can't." "so that's how it is." "hide!" "B-But..." "Leave these guys to me and Natsu!" "Understood." "Happy." "Carla... but we'd just hold everyone back as we are now." "I'm glad you understand!" "cause this'll be a piece of steak!" "you know." "Please don't encourage him..." "It'll wear on you." "that all you got?" "Who's next?" "I'm super pissed 'cause some guy turned my precious scarf all black!" "I need to punch people more!" "What?" "Why are you takin' it out on us?" "What a cruel..." "Then why don't I turn the rest of you to black ashes?" "!" "Fire Barret!" "This is what I've been waiting for!" "You did it!" "jerk!" "The Fire Barret is hot enough to melt stone." "it won't be so easy for you to..." "Wha?" "!" "What is he?" "He's eating the fire!" "I can't believe it!" "D-Don't tell me..." "He's the one I've heard about..." "I'm all revved up!" "Dragon Slayer..." "Natsu the Salamander!" "Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon!" "He's crazy!" "W-What'll we do?" "Our magic power can't compete with this monster!" "Who're you callin' a monster?" "That's enough." "I'm tellin' you to quit it." "Zancrow-sama!" "He ain't someone you guys can handle." "go search for Zeref." "no problem!" "Zeref?" "As we feared..." "Grimoire Heart is after Zeref?" "Things are getting really complicated." "we'll just be..." "Thanks a bunch!" "That guy's crazy strong." "He's that Salamander we've heard rumors about!" "you!" "didja?" "Yeah?" "um..." "Just a slip of the tongue..." "Sorry... got it?" "Flames?" "Our guild is the strongest guild!" "What is that?" "Black flames..." "Grimoire Heart doesn't need weaklings!" "What is he doing?" "you..." "You..." "To your own comrades!" "My comrades?" "weak litte guild lecture me!" "To hell with you!" "Flames ain't gonna work on me!" "don't!" "I have a bad feeling about those flames!" "I can't eat them!" "What's with these flames?" "puny dragon hunter!" "Natsu!" "It's flames that the Flame Dragon Slayer can't eat?" "!" "even more powerful than a dragon's?" "Blasphemy!" "Flames of a god?" "see." "You're talking to a God Slayer!" "God Slayer?" "Damn it..." "This is really tiring." "But we've almost cleaned 'em out." "Right." "Let's take down the rest all at once!" "R-Right... too... everyone'll be fine." "Wait!" "I sense..." "The enemy disappeared!" "disappearing'..." "These guys get around." "Be careful." "Up there!" "They cannot beat you." "This is a waste of time." "Your opponent will be meh." "A goat?" "!" "A goat..." "I think." "What's wrong?" "It's..." "He's different than the grunts we've been fighting." "suck it up for round two!" "We managed to slip away." "Let's hurry forward." "Right!" "Who goes there?" "Encounter enemy during mission." "Eliminate immediately." "Switch highest priority to extermination." "Begin battle." "A child?" "Don't be fooled." "I can sense a queer magic power." "What the hell is he?" "Can't you tell?" "He's an enemy." "devils and fairies have a fateful encounter..." "Huh?" "Some kind of spell?" "Yes!" "This is our battle frontier!" "What's with this guy?" "Can't you tell?" "He's an idiot." "Over there!" "Who are you?" "my... and now women?" "stand back." "This guy's dangerous." "damn it!" "W-Why?" "Why is no one here?" "And it's hot!" "And I'm thirsty!" "Zeref..." "Wait for me." "Makarov's brats have no chance of defeating the Seven Kin of Purgatory." "They are superb wizards I have nurtured for years!" "Each one of them uses a wizardry closest to the true source of magic..." "They are Lost Magic users!" "they'll be powerless." "I said bring it!" "I'll devour your dragon flames!" "You bastard!" "You're on!" "I'm all fired up!" "It's hot..." "I'm hungry..." "Where's Lord Zeref?" "I'm thirsty... too?" "but... anyway?" "You see 'em a lot in rivers and the ocean." "That's crabs (kani)." "it's the things Lucy uses?" "Those are keys (kagi)." "it grows a lot on bread" "That's mold (kabi)!" "Next time:" "Fire Dragon vs. Flame God." "let me finish." "you were actually just joking around with me?" "Ya got me! only to have it turn out like this..." "But destroying Fairy Tail is nothing more than a step toward our goal." "What we are after is the legendary Black Wizard Zeref." "7 Kin of Purgatory!" "I await your reports of triumph!" "{somehow "good report" just didn't cut it}" "Your opponent will be meh." "A goat?" "!" "What is this guy?" "I can sense some disturbing magic... obviously." "one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory. {I will also use "Meh" for "my" to make my life easier avoiding "I"}" "7 Kin of Purgatory..." "That's..." "So there's 7 of you higher-ups?" "Caprico..." "Makarov..." "You did well supporting the guild for these 48 years." "However..." "That story ends today." "and you along with it." "Fire Dragon vs. Flame God!" "You're wide open!" "Is that all the power you need to hunt dragons?" "Come at me seriously!" "You're a real pest." "And my body's finally gotten warmed up." "damn it!" "Natsu-san..." "Don't worry..." "No problem." "He hates to lose." "Natsu's attacks aren't working." "What is this guy?" "He said he was a God Slayer or something..." "Are there guys like this all around Earthland?" "yeah." "I forgot to give you my name. the God Slayer." "of Fairy Tail." "Dragon Slayer." "I know already!" "Your reckless rampages are even famous in the Baram Alliance!" "Wha?" "!" "Baram Alliance?" "What's that?" "Aye!" "It's the most powerful organization of Dark Guilds!" "and Tartaros." "but... would come here... and even sending the R system and Nirvana to their makers... right?" "You beat those nobodies and think you're such hot stuff?" "yeah?" "You widdle dwagon swayer gots a big head!" "God Slayer my ass." "you were taught by a god?" "then it is from a god that I received this Lost Magic!" "What's that?" "Sounds like you got it from a human to me." "I was taught by a real dragon!" "Dragon Slayer Magic!" "Dragons..." "You mean those things?" "The fly-y spike-y ones?" "this thing's cousin?" "Igneel is not a gecko!" "That's right!" "either!" "Wendy... shut up." "I'll finish this guy off real quick and get to you next." "His eyes say he's not joking!" "I won't let you fight Wendy!" "buddy!" "move away from here!" "Bring on your finishing move!" "With a flaming right hand and a flaming left hand... and burn down the east..." "God's Breath!" "Dazzling Blaze..." "Kagutsuchi of the Fire Dragon!" "...of the Flame God!" "What incredible force!" "And the heat is so intense..." "The power of a dragon and a god are colliding..." "Natsu-san!" "no!" "Natsu was pushed back!" "You cats are makin' a damn racket!" "it wasn't just cats?" "too." "You're too damn weak!" "Seriously!" "hang in there... just like that..." "Is this the power that Lost magic truly holds?" "{not too literal}" "You bastard..." "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Did you know?" "who gave man fire. {this is literally "the intelligence known as fire..."}" "It wasn't people or dragons who gave birth to fire." "It was the gods." "Yeah!" "This ain't happening..." "My word..." "He ate Natsu-san's flames!" "Your flames taste good!" "Rampaging flames that'll consume everything in their path... they can't kill a god!" "This is the magic of Grimoire Heart!" "Bellow of the Flame God!" "Natsu..." "Natsu!" "Two little dragon hunters have returned to dust." "How has he been doing this?" "Our attacks haven't hit even once!" "Loke!" "Yeah!" "And again?" "And this strange sense..." "Like he's from a different world..." "What in the world could it be?" "Even against all 4 of us..." "Whoa." "Give me a break!" "I don't got time to play with some goat!" "Damn..." "Missed again." "I don't get it." "He's not using any magic to dodge..." "And he doesn't seem to be able to predict our attacks like Cobra." "but I've felt it from the start..." "This feeling like our attacks won't hit!" "It is not your imagination." "you are powerless." "no opposition." "There is nothing you can do." "Revere meh." "Worship meh." "This..." "This mysterious sense of pressure..." "What is this guy?" "Why is it I can't seem to stand against him?" "Caprico..." "There's no mistake..." "It must be him!" "This is bad..." "Lucy!" "at the Justice League} god!" "}" "it's been a while since I felt fire be "hot"." "anyway?" "This smells like..." "Gramps!" "Whoa..." "No way... you okay?" "Natsu...?" "G-Gramps!" "you're hurt really bad!" "I'll take you to Wendy... maybe moving you would be dangerous." "damn it?" "!" "Natsu..." "I can't believe this!" "Who did this to you?" "Listen well..." "This is a battle we will surely lose." "Gramps?" "You ain't thinkin' straight?" "!" "Who gave you those wounds?" "T-This ain't nothin'!" "I'm totally gonna win!" "Natsu..." "Take everyone... and escape!" "Don't say that." "What about the S Class exam?" "right Gramps?" "Don't say we can't win!" "Sometimes... retreat... is the only option." "I..." "Got beat by Master Hades?" "Makarov?" "Master Hades?" "Natsu..." "You're no match for him..." "Even if I'm no match... is afraid?" "Fear... is afraid?" "Dragon Slayer?" "Your entire body's breaking out in a cold sweat!" "I..." "I lose..." "Fear is not evil..." "It tells you what your weakness is." "This is... fear?" "Natsu..." "Yes!" "That's fear!" "people have no choice but to stop and cower in fear!" "escape..." "That's not it." "It's true this is fear." "But it's a different fear than the one that Gildarts was talking about." "Huh?" "This shaking is me being afraid that the guy who did this to Gramps'll get wiped out by someone other than me!" "Master Hades..." "You will \Nbe defeated by my hands!" "I will never forgive you!" "my..." "It seems I've drawn the short straw." "Short straw?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "and now women?" "I had hoped to fight a bit tougher opponents..." "Cats and children?" "That's Happy and Wendy!" "Perhaps it would be better had I not said anything." "by me." "What incredible magic power!" "are you okay?" "Mira-nee!" "He's a powerful opponent." "I know that." "That's why I'm not gonna hold back!" "Take Over!" "Animal Soul!" "Oh?" "Take Over?" "You can use some interesting magic." "And next..." "Penguin!" "She can chain her Take Overs instantly?" "Since when could Lisanna do such high level techniques?" "Don't think so little of me!" "you know!" "We're not done yet!" "Lisanna!" "Mira-nee!" "I see." "You can fight better than I thought." "Then perhaps I will teach you how far apart your level is from mine." "Spirit and attitude alone do not make for me a worthy opponent." "Battles are fought at the risk of one's life." "Don't you think they should stir one's heart?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Our differences in power don't matter!" "We..." "Natsu..." "We're all just protecting our home to return to!" "That is your belief." "perhaps..." "But I'm afraid that against me..." "Mira-nee!" "I'll keep him busy." "you go search for everyone else." "I can't go do that!" "What was that just now?" "who I've barely sensed any magic power from..." "She..." "For just a moment I felt an incredible pressure from her." "we're sure to win!" "You're the same as you were back then..." "So I take it there's no need for me to hold back?" "You will pay for underestimating the power of our guild... of our family!" "Beat Master Hades?" "That's so funny I'm not even laughing." "that don't hurt!" "Black flames?" "He can also use fire magic?" "There's a difference between the flames of a dragon and the flames of a god!" "God's flames do not burn... so he's saying "they're a flaming halberd that destroys all"}" "God's flames love to devour wizards!" "plus it sounds cooler}" "you're finished." "The only thing that escapes is your ashes!" "Natsu!" "I'm gonna eat it instead!" "Don't even try." "Dragons aren't strong enough to eat the flames of a god!" "See what I said?" "Giant?" "Gramps!" "No more..." "Just try hurting this boy any more in front of me!" "I will crush you down to the bone!" "You got enough strength left in ya?" "let go. 'Cause if you don't it's your arm that's gonna be gone." "What's this?" "Y-You're squeezing stronger?" "I ain't letting' go!" "Gramps!" "Why the little..." "Gramps!" "Don't underestimate the power... of family!" "or maybe me?" "I wonder which one's gonna kick the bucket first?" "Natsu's magic power... has vanished!" "And the dragon hunter bites the dust first!" "N-No way!" "How is he eating the flames of a god?" "He emptied his magic power completely for a moment... bowl?" "It's metaphorical...}" "I see..." "I guess there are some flames that take a little trick to eat." "Trick?" "That battle plan is way more than a little trick..." "Emptying your magic power while in the middle of your enemy's?" "You complete fool!" "Are you tryin' to kill yourself?" "!" "I have no plan on dying." "I ain't gonna let anyone die." "We're all going home together." "Home to Fairy Tail." "Join together the flames of a dragon and the flames of a god!" "Dazzling Blaze... of the Dragon God!" "He did it." "What a guy!" "Natsu!" "All right!" "I win!" "but you use magic so recklessly!" "Emptying your own magic to suck up your opponent's?" "okay?" "this is me we're talking about." "It's my thing." "You would've sounded a lot cooler if you hadn't added that." "Next time:" "The World of Great Magic." "anyway." "Better than Mr. I Didn't Do a Damn Thing Happy." "S-Say what?" "!" "Previously on Fairy Tail: it was thought that she died." "We eventually overcame our sadness and somehow moved on..." "But then we were reunited with Lisanna in Edolas." "she was really our Lisanna!" "Natsu and the others were tackling the S Class Wizard Advancement Exam appeared before them." "While the Fairy Tail wizards were fighting a desperate battle Makarov was defeated by Master Hades." "I will never forgive you!" "Don't underestimate the power... of family!" "Zancrow." "However..." "The World of Great Magic." "I-Impossible..." "Some wannabe dragon hunter... beat me?" "he emptied out his own magic..." "And he created a new vessel which lets him eat flames he couldn't eat before!" "What manner of man is he...?" "I'll have to give him a good scolding for this later..." "Gramps..." "Let's fight." "I know there are times when you have to fall back." "Gildarts taught me that." "But this ain't one of those times." "These bastards chose Fairy Tail as their enemy." "So we have to make them realize... with all its heart and soul!" "Let's fight..." "Gr-Gr..." "Natsu!" "The power of family?" "I thought you were going to show that to me." "Mira-nee!" "Use Satan Soul!" "Satan Soul?" "That's not magic I can use repeatedly." "Sisters?" "Fairy Tail's Fairy Sisters..." "Then... could it be...?" "Are you the Demon Mirajane?" "!" "That was a long time ago." "she's mega-strong!" "I would like to have a bout with a serious demon." "What's wrong?" "You can't take this seriously?" "My magic is more than enough to take you down!" "Lisanna!" "I want you to get away!" "This man... is extremely strong." "but..." "What is this?" "!" "Lisanna!" "that will explode." "Hold it." "I wouldn't put any more pressure on it if I were you." "you'll have to defeat me." "I can't... get free!" "You fiend!" "I'll do anything in order to fight that demon." "Mira-nee!" "It doesn't feel like my magic power will last long but I don't have a choice!" "This is it!" "This sensation!" "Wonderful!" "Mira-nee!" "Don't worry about me!" "Just focus!" "Chain Burst!" "You're strong..." "Let Lisanna go!" "I knew you'd be strong!" "I haven't felt this high in a long time!" "What are you looking at?" "!" "Burst Claw!" "Mira-nee!" "Evil Explosion!" "I knew this would be good..." "Mirajane!" "No good..." "He's too strong!" "If my magic power wasn't depleted..." "Mira-nee!" "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "Pointless!" "The only way to stop the countdown is by beating me!" "Come on!" "There's no time!" "Show me your true strength!" "I'm sorry... but I don't have enough magic power left to take him down." "that's impossible for me." "Mira-nee..." "But I have faith..." "I have faith that someone in the guild can beat him..." "Mira-nee?" "So I'm... giving up but you don't have to worry." "I won't let you die again." "Mira... nee..." "Mira-nee!" "No!" "wake up!" "Mira-nee!" "Mira-nee!" "The path to Zeref has been a long one." "Too long for me... my dream will come true." "I'll be saved." "Who's there?" "!" "Are you looking for me?" "I see..." "You people are the "seeds of conflict"." "It's so sad that you've angered me." "Wendy?" "I'm fine." "But why won't my healing magic work on these two?" "It looks like the Master's wounds are too deep." "no matter how much Sky Magic you use..." "What about Natsu?" "I don't know why it doesn't work on Natsu." "The only thing I can think of is that something is blocking the treatment." "Natsu..." "Master..." "Wendy..." "Master!" "You found us...?" "Yes!" "Don't worry... about me..." "Take care... of Natsu..." "No!" "I promise!" "I promise that I'll do something!" "I promise that I'll help you both!" "Natsu's... scarf..." "Can you put it back... to the way it was?" "His scarf?" "The malevolence that stains his scarf..." "is impeding Natsu's recovery..." "I'll try!" "Why did Natsu's scarf become black in the first place?" "That creepy guy with black hair I was telling you about did it." "Could that be... the man Grimoire Heart is looking for?" "Zeref!" "here you are right in front of me..." "You people want my power?" "Lord Zeref." "I have no intention of doing anything in this age." "I don't want to see strife or anyone die." "Cease your attacks upon this island and leave at once!" "He doesn't want to see strife or anyone die?" "he doesn't know who he is?" "This is Zeref?" "!" "He's in a state of "slumber"?" "!" "I'm angry!" "What is that monster?" "!" "Look who's talking!" "Thunderclap Belcusas." "It's even got two names?" "!" "The encounter between demon and angel is unavoidable destiny. fight me fair and square!" "fight them fair and square." "I meant you!" "Fairy Machine Gun!" "Leprechaun!" "It has no effect?" "!" "Beast Soul!" "What are you doing?" "!" "right?" "!" "That only works on humans!" "Idiot!" "I meant the boss!" "That man!" "I can't!" "He's wearing glasses!" "Jeez!" "You're utterly useless!" "Do you wanna be turned to stone first?" "!" "that's..." "We don't love each other!" "You stop that thing!" "Evergreen!" "I've seen through to the true nature of his magic!" "Summoning Magic!" "And the weakness of those who use Summoning Magic is clear!" "Their own body is weak!" "You're mine!" "I'm the King of the Underworld." "This arm is an ebony sword that cuts through everything!" "Scatter across the darkness!" "Evergreen!" "W-What is that magic?" "!" "but it would be difficult to comprehend." "For trash..." "What's that?" "!" "It's magic that has gotten too close to the abyss of the magic path." "this magic has a powerful side effect... what a catastrophic fate... that catastrophe will be over and an age of new magic will come." "He's the one from before..." "Zeref?" "!" "The legendary black magic wizard?" "!" "That man was him?" "!" "I mean..." "Zeref is on this island right now?" "!" "The World of Great Magic." "The World of Great Magic?" "!" "What is that?" "!" "A world of magic governed by chaos and darkness." "What is that?" "!" "It's a place where those without magic cannot live." "it's a living hell... doesn't it?" "!" "A world just for us!" "Garbage who can't use magic won't exist there!" "When Zeref becomes the king of this world the World of Great Magic will be complete." "Those without magic power will all cease to exist!" "It'll be a paradise for wizards only!" "I've been waiting for this age!" "I've been waiting forever!" "I-I don't believe it..." "It..." "It can't be!" "What is that?" "It's gone..." "I'll be next..." "But getting injured to some extent is to be expected in the course of catching Zeref." "Lost Magic!" "Time Ark!" "I'll manipulate the time of those physical objects and capture Lord Zeref!" "There!" "It's coming..." "The Predator of Death..." "Time Ark!" "What are you?" "!" "Luminous Nimitz! you're no match for me." "Don't make light of the leader of the Seven Kin of Purgatory!" "Lord Zeref for we possess the key to awaken you." "Don't..." "I got him..." "I have Zeref!" "but I hope everyone's okay..." "I'm sure Erza and Gray are fine." "And Lucy is tough when it comes down to the crunch..." "I'm worried about Elfman." "he screws up during critical moments... too." "Everyone from the Raijinshuu has eccentric personalities." "Next time: "Ark of Embodiment"." "But you never know." "Two oddballs might actually work well together..." "They llllllike each other!" "I haven't heard that in a while!" "Zeref..." "You are mine..." "I'm not going to give you up to anyone..." "Anyone." "I will make you king of the world." "All for the the World of Great Magic..." "That thing's persistent!" "the both of us will..." "Why are you stopping?" "A dead end?" "Man!" "Now look here..." "Ark of Embodiment." "You idiot!" "Is your brain made of muscle?" "Try thinking about where  you're escaping to next time!" "Clam it!" "How 'bout you try running' yourself next time!" "I've taken a lot of damage!" "I can just now barely stand!" "You still seem plenty kickin' to me!" "Hold up a sec..." "What're we supposed to do now?" "this cliff is gonna break quick!" "you... yeah!" "We could do that!" "What?" "You're so annoying." "I knew those glasses you wear make you smart!" "Now look here..." "I'm smart even without the glasses." "I'm the most..." "So there you go!" "What?" "!" "Heave-ho!" "big-boy!" "Over here!" "Man-to-Man!" "fair and square!" "Take Over:" "Beast Soul!" "Gotcha!" "Hold it!" "Hey there." "How about that?" "Worked like a cha" "Don't go making me the decoy just 'cause I can fly!" "I'm gonna fall!" "The communication between two lovers sometimes goes hand-in-hand with a violent skinship." "That's not how it is!" "Great!" "Thunderclap Belcusas." "You truly showed me well your pitiful struggle against death... unbefitting of a wizard..." "Honestly..." "I think I'm going to puke." "Even in the World of Great Magic trash like you will not be needed." "and only wizards will be left alive?" "you say?" "Give me a break." "Only 10% of people in the world are wizards!" "The other 90% don't have any magic!" "those 90% cannot survive." "You think we'll let you get away with that?" "But what're they for?" "Humans who can't use magic are no better than a candle that can't be lit!" "They have no use!" "Everyone in this world is here because we help one another to survive!" "Belcusas's attack from before must have injured his arm." "Help one another?" "Are you talking about guilds?" "That's your ego." "You people are powerless." "All you do is eat up resources!" "No..." "We all need each other." "and the normal people pay the rewards." "The world is built up from those requests..." "That's how guilds were born." "Don't you dare belittle guilds." "How dare you talk dirt about those wizards struggling just to survive!" "you people cannot understand." "You cannot get close to the true depths of magic... who do not know the true terror of Zeref." "When Zeref shows his true power... nothing except grovel before him!" "Fairy Tail will never bow down!" "Because we're a giant candle that shines light down on the deepest darkness!" "Take this!" "huh?" "Not as elegant as your name would suggest." "As I thought!" "Trash like you aren't needed in the World of Great Magic!" "Elfman!" "Call me trash if you want!" "But I'll never forgive you calling my friends trash!" "A Man cannot let that stand!" "Is that so?" "Elfman!" "I got you." "The basics of a Take Over is to know your opponent." "Nee-chan?" "I'll be taking this arm!" "My Blade of Darkness!" "Take this!" "In my left hand dwells a shield of gold that defends against all!" "You underestimated me." "I won't be beaten so..." "What I was really after was your glasses!" "Ever!" "The only people who can call me that are the Raijinshuu and Laxus." "special." "Because I can make sure the mouth of someone who insults Fairy Tail never opens again by turning them into stone!" "Shoot!" "Stone Eyes!" "...psych!" "But that's..." "Why didn't my Stone Eyes...?" "Ever!" "Ah... even a tad." "It was quite a fun act." "Glasses?" "But I'm sure I..." "My magic is the power of imagination." "The Ark of Embodiment." "Anything I wish for is immediately embodied into reality." "That magic is ridiculous..." "Making dreams incarnate is near the very basis of magic." "there are a number of limits and conditions." "undefeated magic!" "I have never been beaten!" "Not even once!" "Dimguil's Tower!" "and return them to dust!" "What is this?" "I can't move!" "Elf...man..." "Ever!" "Hang in there!" "I'm sorry... you might've become an S Class Wizard." "You might not've lost to a guy like this..." "Fool... you know?" "Elfman..." "Ever." "into the distant darkness." "Natsu-san!" "Natsu!" "Gramps!" "Over here." "He's still in a rough state." "H-Huh?" "My scarf?" "Wendy fixed it for you!" "She also flipped your clothes back around." "Wendy!" "I-It's nothing." "What's the matter?" "Um... you pervert!" "This smell!" "what smell?" "I remember now." "Why was he here?" "Who is he talking about?" "do you know?" "I can't tell..." "Everyone's smell kind of blends together and I can't tell who is where." "Natsu..." "Who did you smell?" "That guy I met on Galuna Island." "Perhaps you recall this masked person. from its slumber on Galuna Island." "But he was defeated by Natsu and disappeared." "He's close!" "Natsu!" "Natsu-san!" "There he goes..." "Galuna Island?" "Who?" "This and that and this and that..." "It was a pretty tough fight." "Lost Magic?" "too." "I'm impressed he remembers the smell." "He's like a beast." "that's Natsu for you." "It is?" "That it is." "I'm... in a pickle." "I haven't seen Zeref..." "And no one's around..." "And I'm starving..." "But you know what they say..." "When you eat meat you start craving sweets." "so..." "I brought ice cream with me!" "me!" "Okay." "Seems everyone's safe." "Transport the injured to the tents stretched out on the reef." "Hurry and treat them!" "We can deal with fixing the equipment later!" "but this man is Lahar." "He's the Captain of the 4th Enforcement and Detention Corps of the Reformed Magic Council. and is now leading the warships watching over Tenroujima." "We'll be heading onto the island now." "Everyone who can prepare for battle..." "Dranbalt... really is." "but his real name is Dranbalt." "He's a member of the Reformed Magic Council's Intelligence Service." "What is someone like you doing so injured?" "I'm fine." "What about the ships?" "but at least there were no casualties." "Is the communications lacrima safe?" "Thankfully..." "What in the world happened on the island? and the Black Wizard Zeref has begun." "The attack on the ship before was from Grimoire Heart." "Lend me the communications lacrima!" "I've got to report this to headquarters right away!" "I-I don't believe it..." "Three of the thorns in the side of the Magic World have all gathered in one place?" "The chances of this being coincidence are nearly zero... is strict and will not hesitate to eliminate wrongdoers without even a trial." "Will he let fall the "Attack of Sealed Light" once again?" "Etherion?" "!" "Although we have no way to oppose the decisions of our superiors... but they shouldn't be lumped in with Zeref and Grimoire Heart!" "That is not for us to decide." "hurry and contact headquarters." "The World of Great Magic..." "Everyone without magic will be eliminated?" "That's not right!" "That's a horrible world where no one gains anything! but perhaps it will be a land of those who know the depths of magic." "Zeref is on this island. the world will beh enveloped with magic and reborn anew." "This is stupid." "I hope you're prepared for the consequences when you make a mess outta someone else's house!" "Meh orders are two." "The first is to capture Zeref and hand him over to Master Hades." "The second is to wipe out Fairy Tail." "Wipe us out?" "Just try it!" "Wait." "Loke..." "I'll fight him. then we should assume there are 6 more at his level." "search for the other Kin of Purgatory and defeat them." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Even all 4 of us couldn't scratch him!" "That's because of his magic." "An ancient magic..." "Human Subordination Magic." "Human..." "Subordination?" "It's magic that allows you to command a human's fighting power or magic for a time." "It's also known as the Magic of Kings." "a Celestial Spirit." "but he's also a Spirit." "Capricorn." "What?" "A Spirit?" "No..." "Two Spirits fighting each other?" "It's just like that time!" "we'll..." "Don't say anything." "Capricorn!" "I see." "Leo." "everyone." "But... but Loke's right." "we can't fight for real." "Let's leave this to Loke." "Loke... right?" "Humans can't beat this guy." "I have to be..." "Hurry and go!" "It's rare for him to raise his voice..." "There's got to be some history here..." "Lucy!" "right?" "Yeah." "Good." "I'm worried about the others." "Let's go!" "Loke!" "you hear?" "!" "No matter what!" "Lucy!" "That girl... give me the power..." "How many years has it been since you disappeared from the Spirit World?" "17 years." "To stay in the Human World that long..." "Who the hell is your master?" "!" "No one is meh master." "It is meh who is the master of humans!" "I open thee!" "A gate to another world?" "San Jiao Shin!" "W-What was that just now? who led the rebel army to victory." "The official records say he went missing after the war." "But the truth is that he became meh subordinate." "and summoned him?" "!" "let meh ask you about your master." "Why do you care?" "of course." "I've already deduced that it's the blond woman who ran away." "You want a one-on-one battle with meh?" "That's a lie." "You said that to let your master escape to a safe location." "you know?" "you hear?" "!" "No matter what!" "Make sure... to come back to me." "No matter what!" "C-Could it be..." "That woman..." "He realized!" "That's why you're keeping her away from meh!" "Keeping her away from meh!" "That woman..." "Is she Layla Heartfilia's daughter?" "Crap..." "He really figured it out..." "I can't let her live!" "Where is she?" "!" "I smell it!" "can I ever!" "Natsu!" "Why do you want to finish things with that guy from Galuna Island?" "There's a point to it!" "Although his mask was pretty cool..." "Cool?" "How?" "do you mean the smell of sweat inside the mask?" "not that!" "take this seriously!" "The Zalty that Natsu has gotten wind of is actually..." "Zeref..." "I will make the future." "two "people"." "Huh?" "What about sheep?" "Spirits." "right?" "a sheep." "Isn't Loke also fighting a sheep?" "Do Spirits have twins or something?" "but this one's a goat." "Next time:" "Human Gate." "What's the difference?" "while sheep go "be~h"." "I can't tell the difference at all." "I open thee!" "Samagui!" "Go shoot down Layla's daughter!" "Samagui of Belparaso!" "Even I know him..." "He's used as the basis for children's books up north." "A living legendary huntsman?" "Human Gate." "Wind:" "Check." "Angle:" "Check." "Would a huntsman shoot a human?" "Even from that posture?" "!" "it matters not." "I will hunt it." "You won't get past me!" "What?" "Firing high in the air?" "That angle's nuts!" "This is the reason I made him meh subordinate." "His shooting ability is far beyond that of some wizard shooting a magic gun." "Not if I can help it!" "What?" "He did that to my arrows with rubble?" "!" "I see." "Your skills are indeed impressive." "But not up to the level of Sagittarius." "Damn it!" "Hurry up after that woman!" "A huntsman never lets his prey escape!" "Honestly... "That woman"? "Prey"?" "That's beyond insulting..." "I'm coming through!" "you are not." "Move from there!" "you were contracted with Layla 20 years ago." "Lucy." "however." "Capricorn." "Taboo." "Each and every magic has some rule which cannot be violated." "I tried to break it." "What?" "And the result is this form." "A goat!" "Go ahead and laugh! were heading deeper into Tenroujima." "His smell is this way!" "Natsu!" "so you should watch your step!" "Natsu?" "Stop!" "Stop..." "Huh?" "He got quiet all of a sudden." "He gets nauseous sliding on leaves?" "Sheesh." "That didn't hurt... at all!" "It's him..." "Natsu!" "Natsu!" "The ground!" "What?" "There was a small sapling there." "My Time Ark has guided the sapling to its future." "Natsu Dragneel?" "You're the one from back then..." "It's definitely the same smell." "The guy who used Lyon and the others in Galuna Island?" "Is dressing' in women's clothing your hobby or something?" "Oh..." "That would explain." "this is what I really look like." "I'm one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart." "Ultear Milkovich." "Ul-Tea Milk?" "Don't trip over your tongue." "too?" "That guy is..." "Zeref?" "This guy made Lullaby and Deliora..." "Him?" "No way!" "long time ago!" "got it?" "Zeref is mine." "Who'd want 'im?" "!" "I ain't gonna forgive you guys when you don't even care about your friends!" "Oh?" "Then I suppose I'd better pay you back for that last time... for real!" "Erza and Juvia had gone to gather their comrades and before them appeared..." "Juvia Lockser." "A former member of Phantom Lord's Elemental Four." "Erza Scarlet." "Then you have already researched about Juvia and Erza?" "villain!" "I do not deem answering that as necessary." "Starting battle." "Juvia!" "Right!" "But Juvia is worried about Gray-sama..." "She wants to be by his side soon!" "Ah!" "What if Gray-sama is in big trouble right now..." "Why... is it so hard to breathe?" "it aches." "Something has taken a hold of my heart!" "Gray!" "It seems I was too weak to be your partner after all!" "Sorry to be such a spoiler!" "I've brought your best partner with me!" "But..." "Juvia..." "Juvia... the thing that's grabbed my heart..." "Juvia." "Gray-sama..." "The two of us are S Class partners recognized throughout the guild... throughout the world!" "Juvia..." "Gray-sama..." "Juvia is so moved!" "Will you try concentrating?" "!" "Right!" "Maguilty Sodom!" "She's coming for us!" "this is..." "Magic blades?" "She can summon weapons as well?" "Go." "Juvia's body is made of water!" "Juvia will not..." "Juvia!" "Juvia's body made of water... was injured?" "My blades attack the sense of pain directly." "they are "sensory blades"." "That magic power..." "I see." "You must be one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory." "I do not deem answering that as necessary." "Wipe out the enemy." "That is my mission." "I've started to get a bit nostalgic for the body of a human." "This is perfect timing." "What have you been talking about?" "Humaraise!" "That magic won't work on me." "not a human." "Yes..." "And that is why this is taboo." "This magic cannot be used on those who are not human." "What's this?" "I'm suddenly in a trap?" "Someone who breaks this rule..." "It can't be..." "You..." "They are fused together..." "So you're actually Capricorn that's been fused with a human?" "Leo!" "you..." "Just a little too late." "What's wrong?" "We don't have time to stand around!" "Right..." "I'm sorry." "But I think maybe it'd be better to go back." "but we can't." "Loke had a reason for what he did." "That magic of his..." "We'd get in his way if we were around." "you shouldn't be worried." "remember?" "Go ahead and believe in him." "You're right." "Okay!" "Let's get together with the others and go search for the enemy!" "Yeah!" "Let's hurry..." "Loke..." "You'd better come back safe to me!" "You'd better!" "Oww..." "I see." "Meh attack from before... my attack." "But I've finally gotten my hands on a human form!" "goat body." "Can't move after taking Leo's attack?" "my name is Leo." "My master is Lucy." "Lucy Heartfilia." "then I can become a perfect human." "yes." "Lucy trusts this body." "Perhaps I shall catch her off guard?" "Or maybe I'll subjugate her and play around for a little while?" "like Layla-sama!" "What the... you..." "Regulus is full." "Zoldio-sama?" "Don't you dare..." "Don't you dare say that name!" "Capricorn." "I do apologize for having to be a bit rough." "it's okay." "or separating him would have been impossible." "W-Why?" "Capricorn? Regulus." "That... was giving you magic power?" "!" "How dare you..." "How dare you!" "But..." "I'm finally back to my original body!" "My body..." "What..." "What is this?" "What's happening?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "save me!" "I don't want to disappear!" "Save me..." "Layla-sama!" "Such is the fate of those who break the taboos." "It was 20 years ago." "Layla-sama retired from Wizardry to preserve her health." "and meh to three of her servants." "and he received meh key." "But Layla and meh made one final contract." "I pledge to protect your family for now to eternity." "your offspring chooses to walk the path of magic..." "Yes." "Capricorn." "So that's how Lucy became your master. he ended up being touched by dark magic... and fused with you." "Sometimes strong magic power will lead people to the dark side." "I've seen it myself." "Nothing is harder to take." "what do you think of Lucy-sama?" "Layla-sama's daughter." "and how much she loves them in return." "right?" "You'll help Lucy?" "No." "Lucy-sama cannot borrow meh help at this time." "For meh power has always been Lucy-sama's from the start." "I can finally return to meh master's side." "What's the matter?" "Did something happen with Loke?" "Yeah!" "He says he won!" "We can count on him!" "but Capricorn is on our side now! so he's returning to the Spirit World as my Spirit again." "What?" "!" "I see... he was using his own magic power to stay in the Human World until now." "Hold it!" "huh?" "!" "Gray!" "Screw that!" "I haven't given up on being S Class yet!" "S Class... let's get a move on!" "Sheesh..." "Lucy." "Why don't we split up to search for the 7 Kin of Purgatory?" "But I don't wanna go alone!" "Don't worry!" "Lucy!" "Cana... not "split up"." "What?" "Wanna mix it up with the girls?" "That's not what I meant!" "I think it'd be smarter to attack with everyone together." "I want to attack the enemy as soon as possible." "That way we can resume the S Class exam." "That's why we should split up and search." "Gray?" "Cana?" "then." "We'll split up here." "Gray!" "You too." "you nut!" "I'd have been an S Class wizard by now!" "Is that your future?" "The other future of the fractured crystal ball..." "Parallel worlds... and contract them to head toward a single future." "Flash Forward!" "the fun's just beginning!" "Natsu!" "This is the remains of the base camp." "Both of them are breathing." "They'll be okay." "and Mira to lose..." "It was my fault." "Mine..." "It's not anyone's fault." "Elf-niichan!" "They're strong." "but they're too damn strong!" "There was nothing I could do." "Damn it!" "I'm a failure of a Man!" "I wasn't able to protect my sister or my partner!" "We have to become one." "Levy..." "The exam had us all split up." "but we were putting ourselves before our friends." "we can't do that now!" "The enemy is extremely powerful!" "But we are Fairy Tail!" "If we all combine our power..." "If we can act as one there's no way we'll lose!" "please..." "Join together as one..." "Please..." "Mavis's grave?" "Right." "right?" "but I'm curious... okay." "But it's about halfway guessing." "I thought of a lot of different words associated with "grave"." "end..." "But none of them were 6 letters long." "Wait..." "What does being 6 letters have to do with anything?" "The time limit." "right? but I found a word that's 6 letters for 6 hours and associated with a grave." "Demise." "It means to perish." "It's related to a grave and also 6 letters." "too." "but demise has a letter that doesn't fit with the others." "Do you see it?" "When you mention it..." "There's one letter that was used twice." "E. Doesn't that strike you as odd?" "right?" "You mean the ones from the first test?" "Right!" "Route E!" "I bet it's in... there..." "Lucy." "I'm sorry." "I want some kind of special move." "or Claws..." "Natsu!" "But it's not just me." "but wait a second!" "Maybe there is a special move!" "Oh?" "Like what?" "and chuck her at the enemy!" "I call it:" "Next time:" "Lucy Fire!" "But then that's basically a special move for Lucy!" "then... do you even understand the point?" "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "It's time for the ever-popular segment..." "Welcome to Kain Hikaru's "Gowa!" "and Uwe~"!" "Let's start with the first postcard." "What is Grimoire Heart after?" "We've been ordered to capture Lord Zeref and to wipe out Fairy Tail." "Next postcard." "What's Gray-san's type?" "P.S. I'd rather have more Gray-san and less Hikaru." "this is my segment!" "What?" "That's it?" "Enough of that! but Cana put her to sleep for some reason." "It's all "oh crap!" and stuff." "Lucy Fire!" "W-What?" "Who are you?" "Don't tell me..." "One of the 7 Kin of Purgatory?" "Huh?" "Where's Cana?" "where's Cana?" "!" "I dunno." "What did you do with her?" "but what does it matter?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Because you are going to die here." "Did I get separated from Cana somehow?" "And..." "I was asleep?" "What'll I do?" "I don't know what's going on!" "I don't know..." "But I have to do something about this guy." "You can give me all the evil eye you want!" "I ain't scared or nothin'." "Not a bit." "one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart." "see." "It doesn't matter how powerful you are!" "What's important is that you've stood against our guild!" "so come at me!" "W-Wait just a second." "bristly here..." "Isn't that your own hair?" "this guy's a piece of work." "Let's do this." "Visit at the Ox Hour!" "Even the name gives me the creeps..." "Curse hand over one of your hairs." "Visit at the Ox Hour needs one of your hairs!" "N-No!" "I can move you exactly how I wish!" "It's an extremely powerful curse magic!" "That makes me even less likely to give it to you!" "Don't tell me you just realized this!" "I've never heard of magic like that." "That's gotta be a bluff." "B-Bluff?" "the doll's name is Mr. Cursey." "Weren't you listening?" "bluff means that you're exaggerating and you can't really do it." "I-I never lie!" "Did I just hit a nerve I shouldn't have?" "What now?" "!" "why don't you try it?" "How?" "This is my own bristle." "and... dry hair." "Finished!" "this guy's a pain." "try it!" "So?" "Can't you feel the extreme magic power?" "Feel free to hug it or kiss it!" "I'm a little hungry... you..." "Give it back!" "Breakdance!" "The llama position." "The pigeon position." "The scallop position." "That's enough already!" "Three embarrassing pin-up poses in a row!" "aren't you?" "I'm not!" "Give it back!" "I'm mad now!" "it's too late!" "Our little tête-à-tête ends now!" "When did we change to a soap opera?" "I'm cold-hearted!" "either!" "I'm not playing!" "I'm always totally serious!" "Why do I also get these types?" "I open thee!" "Taurus!" "A Celestial Spirit Wizard?" "And one of the 12 Zodiac Gates?" "You bastard!" "How dare you attack Lucy-san with that lascivious look on your face!" "You look delicious..." "Can I have a bite?" "You cannot!" "And I'm not delicious!" "show him what one of the strongest Spirits in the Spirit World can do!" "This time I'm gonna finish it good!" "He got finished good!" "I lost... in a battle of power?" "That cow-looking thing's made me even hungrier!" "No way..." "Hold it!" "He's even stronger without magic!" "What's with this guy?" "too!" "Running..." "Gotta slow him down..." "That's it!" "I open thee!" "Sagittarius!" "Yes-moshimoshi!" "Now it's a horse!" "Aim for his legs..." "Shoot!" "as it were!" "as it were-moshimoshi!" "Dadasturn!" "He kicked them back?" "!" "No way!" "I-I've failed!" "Lucy-dono..." "Sagittarius..." "I open thee!" "Scorpio!" "We are!" "Leave this to me!" "Yeah!" "I'm on vacation with Aquarius right now." "yeah!" "really?" "'kay?" "though." "On vacation with your girlfriend?" "!" "got it?" "Sand Buster!" "okay?" "Impossible?" "My sand was just..." "Nothing is working!" "I don't have any reason to be here." "There you have it!" "What's with this guy?" "Mr. Cursey still has my hair in him." "So if I change the material that Mr. Cursey is made out of... too?" "!" "change!" "to brightly glowing!" "Shining Sumo Push!" "but I'm one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory..." "I'm powerful." "Now out with something tastier!" "a Spirit like this might actually work." "I open thee!" "Nicolas!" "So cute!" "but this guy's at another level!" "Hand him over!" "That made things worse!" "handle this!" "Been a good while-ebi." "It's a crab!" "so I'd thought you'd forgotten about me-ebi." "how would you like your hair-ebi?" "do you?" "He's your opponent." "Why is he readying a pot of boiling water-ebi?" "just give him such an embarrassing cut he can't show his head in public!" "Okay-ebi!" "Ebi!" "Ebi!" "Embarrassing-ebi!" "What-ebi?" "No way!" "My special scissors-ebi!" "My bristles aren't so weak." "Now that's some crazy hair-ebi!" "Ebi!" "Aries!" "Okay!" "I'll try my best!" "You're mine!" "I-I'm sorry..." "W-Why are you apologizing?" "Because..." "I'm going to cause you trouble..." "I'm sorry!" "Wait!" "You silly..." "I never thought that you... were a burden." "Really?" "Really!" "Can I leap into your arms?" "Into my arms?" "Seriously?" "!" "I'm sorry!" "come to me..." "You've always been such a baby... but..." "I'm sorry?" "Do it now." "Wool Bomb!" "Did I do it right?" "It's fine..." "Where did you get such acting chops?" "that was Leo." "Aries." "so you can be of help to Lucy this way." "N-No comment." "Is my devotion such a burden?" "!" "He's angry!" "My Spirit combo's been wiped out!" "I'm sorry!" "enough playing around." "I'm going to get serious now." "Change Mr. Cursey's material to cotton!" "I'll finish you with this!" "Change myself to iron!" "hang in there!" "Don't get all upset." "That didn't work on me at all." "I've got to pay you back for Galuna Island." "Beating you too quickly would be boring." "would you?" "She's way stronger than she was before!" "I didn't use even half of my power back then." "Time to get crushed!" "Move it!" "What?" "Natsu?" "Lucy?" "Why are you here?" "Natsu!" "I'm saved." "Lucy came flyin' in from over there... real ugly-like." "Is there any other way to get sent flying?" "what are you doing here?" "Ultear-san..." "I was chasing that woman." "too?" "She's mine." "You can't have her!" "I don't want her!" "She's crazy strong!" "Even Natsu's having a hard time." "I'm not!" "I'm gonna beat her!" "there are two enemies now." "too." "let's forget we're rivals in the exam..." "We'll reform the team!" "Yeah!" "This combination brings back the memories..." "Yeah!" "Makes you remember the time we met." "I'm all fired up!" "Lucy!" "Natsu!" "too!" "They're like some happy couple!" "How dare they!" "They're like some happy-go-lucky couple!" "2 of the 7 Kin of Purgatory..." "I'm all fired up!" "these people aren't worth your time to fight!" "I can beat them both myself!" "and I can handle them!" "That's not right!" "Then it won't be 2 on 2!" "I'd rather it be 2 on 1..." "Everyone's completely forgetting about me..." "Then I'll leave them to you." "after all." "Oh?" "You've already discovered him?" "But... this is bad!" "We can't let them have Zeref!" "There's this World of Great Magic thing or whatever... it'll be bad!" "And I still have to pay him back for my scarf." "I can't let them have 'im 'til I punch his face in!" "Natsu!" "Got it?" "Don't hold back. no one can stand up to you." "Ultear-san!" "I can do it when it counts!" "Damn it..." "Guess I'll beat this guy first!" "Then I'll go after her..." "Lucy?" "I can't move my body!" "I plucked a hair when you were running away." "no!" "you and Mr. Cursey are now one!" "You're now completely under my control!" "This is for before!" "No!" "What the heck is going on?" "Looks like those two get along." "but less than lovers." "None of the above!" "Three embarrassing pin-up poses in a row!" "aren't you?" "I am so not!" "I've got it!" "Lucy is made to move exactly like that doll!" "R-Right..." "Curse Magic... it's a Lost Magic where you curse your opponent and attack them." "The Lullaby Flute that Natsu and the others once fought is another example." "Kain Hikaru's Mr. Cursey could well spell doom for the world!" "probably!" "You heard the man!" "Natsu?" "Do the bunny!" "Stop him!" "That looks like fun!" "It's not fun for me!" "How about you beat up your pal?" "dodge!" "Roar of the..." "Don't touch my ass!" "Natsu's getting beaten up by Lucy..." "And we're not even in Edolas..." "Lucy?" "It's not me doing it!" "you..." "I'm sorry!" "This is more annoying than I thought." "Don't move!" "What power!" "Do you get more powerful when you're under that thing's control?" "What the hell are you doing with her?" "No lovey-dovey on my watch!" "We aren't lovey-dovey!" "They llllike each other..." "Let go!" "do it like this!" "Hug him until his bones break!" "Hold him to the bone so he can never get away!" "Pump him so full of your feelings he flies into the sky!" "The power of Visit at the Ox Hour is far more than this." "tragedy will befall the two..." "H-Huh?" "where did you go?" "I stole his doll!" "You thieving cat!" "Happy!" "All right!" "Don't play around!" "Give it back!" "Gotcha!" "Talons of the Fire Dragon!" "Damn it!" "What the hell is this guy?" "He's the opposite of how he looks!" "He's fast and limber!" "You think an official guild can actually beat Grimoire Heart?" "!" "Natsu!" "Crap!" "I-I can't get free!" "Stay put!" "I'll get Virgo to free you!" "No..." "I've run out of magic power now?" "behind you!" "Watch out!" "Lucy!" "Damn it!" "I can't get out!" "Now watch as I finish her off." "You bastard!" "Not if I can help it!" "and that!" "Enough playing around." "Lucy..." "Happy..." "Lucy!" "He's a lot stronger than he looks!" "so run!" "No." "Running away by myself?" "No way." "It's always more fun when we're together!" "I'm cold-hearted." "I'll crush that cute little face of yours flat." "Lucy!" "you see." "I'll do this right at once." "M-My body's moving on its own!" "you..." "Lucy!" "You're bending my body too much!" "without restraint!" "Ultimate Lucy is on the scene!" "'kay?" "What's this?" "This... might actually work!" "I just had an even better idea!" "Iron Fist... of the Fire Dragon!" "No way!" "Don't worry!" "It's not hot for the person using it!" "I think!" "he says!" "Happy!" "sir!" "What are you planning?" "Max speed!" "Aye!" "I'm gonna die here!" "Max speed!" "What is that?" "is there a reason my entire body is on fire now?" "!" "Special Move:" "Lucy Fire!" "Let me explain: which landed a direct hit on Kain Hikaru." "We did it!" "sir!" "We won!" "At times like this..." "Do a victory pose!" "Yay!" "no more..." "I'm through..." "I can't move any more." "Happy!" "You're gonna retire before doing anything the slightest bit productive?" "That's so lame." "you know that?" "you see?" "thanks a bunch for that." "Next time:" "Dead-End of Despair." "I haven't even gotten serious yet!" "totally awesome!" "hurry up and be awesome then." "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "Kain Hikaru." "but Natsu didn't really get a chance to shine." "shut up!" "we raked a big white dumpling over the coals!" "sure..." "Pull harder!" "I'm pulling as hard as I can!" "Aye!" "Natsu?" "Good thinking!" "Jeez... mixed together..." "The ones who will lead the way to the shining red tomorrow..." "Fairies or Demons..." "Whose hearts will it be?" "Magic blades?" "She can summon weapons as well?" "Go." "Juvia's body is made of water!" "Juvia will not..." "Juvia!" "Juvia's body made of water... was injured?" "My blades attack the sense of pain directly." "they are "sensory blades"." "That magic power..." "I see." "You must be one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory." "I do not deem answering that as necessary." "Wipe out the enemy." "That is my mission." "Dead-End of Despair." "He's gone!" "Zeref was here?" "He's been taken away already!" "What's with this smell?" "She must have spread something around." "I can't follow her like this... too!" "Why are you lifting your leg?" "Happy!" "Crap..." "Maybe I'll take a nap?" "Don't do that." "I'm worried about Cana too but we have to go after Zeref now!" "I'm sorry..." "It's like I just explained." "They're trying to use Zeref to change the world!" "huh?" "That's just way over-the-top." "I wanna live in a world that's just full of fish!" "it's not like that." "But see here..." "I'm gonna make sure to finish this." "They hurt Gramps." "Those guys better not think I'll let them off this island." "Off the island?" "That's it!" "They must have a ship somewhere!" "right?" "There's a good chance that their ship is anchored somewhere around here." "Zeref is being taken there!" "search for their ship from the sky!" "Looks..." "like I'm out of magic power." "Then I guess you're just a widdle kitty cat... how about we go back to where Wendy and Gramps is..." "We can ask Carla and Lily." "where the first test of the exam took place." "is somewhere in here." "I'll climb into first place." "I'll pass." "I'll become an S class wizard." "So I can see him..." "So I can tell him that I'm an S class wizard." "Light... they never show up when you search for 'em..." "Where are these 7 Kin of Purgatory guys?" "And that Cana sure was in a foul mood." "Did she run out of booze and..." "Wait." "I haven't seen her drink since we got to Tenroujima." "Is she going cold turkey?" "I sense someone..." "Zeref..." "Zeref?" "That man she's carrying on her shoulder?" "Ul!" "No..." "Grimoire Heart..." "She's my enemy!" "Ul." "Who the hell is she?" "This is wondrous!" "old man." "it seems." "Those spawn of Makarov's have done quite well!" "is it my turn?" "Bluenote." "I would like to be able to play around a little bit." "I cannot let my body go soft." "Will you stop that?" "right?" "It's better to expose them. unaware they've fallen inside the demon's maw..." "Can't you eat any prey that hasn't been led into your mouth?" "I will head out for my meal." "You will stay here." "the land will rage." "Stay calm." "The kids are down to four..." "Almost half." "If another falls..." "I'm heading out." "Today seems like a day I can stretch my wings..." "Bluenote Stinger?" "!" "The man who singlehandedly destroyed the Blue Dragon Regiment led by Commander Ghora during the Cabria war..." "The great wizard who is said not to even leave weeds in his wake..." "A big fish like that was in Grimoire Heart?" "They are no longer an opponent that we can handle ourselves." "of course." "Let us contact headquarters at once." "This is now beyond our purview." "Give me a little time." "What are you...?" "Dranbalt-sama!" "He even took the communications lacrima with him!" "We'll be late contacting headquarters now!" "Dranbalt?" "! who was gravely injured by Hades in a fierce battle." "while waiting for Natsu to return." "Wendy!" "Natsu-san!" "too!" "How's the Master doing?" "I can't tell yet..." "I suppose." "But it's strange..." "I don't sense that his life is in danger." "Maybe there's some secret to this so-called "Sacred Ground"..." "It's you!" "jerk?" "from the Magic Council." "My real name is Dranbalt." "Dranbalt-san?" "Wendy." "I've come to rescue you!" "I can evacuate just the Fairy Tail members from this island." "If you can figure out where everyone is somehow..." "Gonna have to pass on that." "huh?" "and we're gonna deal with these guys ourselves." "That's not it! there's a good chance they'll fire on the island!" "They're gonna shoot Etherion again?" "!" "Don't you guys ever learn?" "Etherion?" "What's that?" "I've heard rumors..." "It's some destructive magic that's seriously powerful." "It struck us while we were at the Tower of Heaven!" "I-I'm impressed you're alive... a lot happened." "lacrima absorbed it all." "doesn't it?" "If they fire that on us now... can we?" "Then we just have to finish things up first." "Makarov's down!" "And Grimoire Heart still has fearsome people left!" "There's no way you can win!" "now..." "So that's why you're gonna blow up the whole island?" "This island is our guild's sacred ground!" "too!" "I couldn't take you attacking this place..." "I can't believe this!" "you won't get away with it!" "We're gonna protect the guild!" "Trying to threaten us?" "The Magic Council?" "You're just some wizard guild!" "you!" "I don't give a crap whether it's Grimoire Heart or the Magic Council." "Anyone who lays a hand on our guild is the enemy." "I'll destroy them all!" "This air..." "I feel a storm coming." "Juvia! I can't believe we're having such a hard time when it's two against one!" "Number 13." "Stand back." "I will defeat her." "Erza Scarlet..." "You are number 4." "Number 4 of what?" "by my reckoning." "Foolishness." "It is quite important." "Why are you aiming for Juvia?" "! so better to clean it up first!" "Juvia is..." "Juvia!" "but he no longer seems to be on the island." "however he seems to have been defeated by Lord Hades." "The master is number 2?" "!" "Are you saying there's someone more important than the master?" "Number 1 is Gray." "Gray Fullbuster!" "What?" "Why Gray?" "He's... the man who killed Ultear's mother." "He caused Ultear to suffer!" "He's the man who hurt my Ultear!" "I'll never forgive him!" "I'll tear him limb from limb!" "Drat!" "Never forgive?" "That is Juvia's line." "was it?" "What's with her?" "She's only number 13." "Juvia!" "Calm... down?" "This woman is aiming for Gray-sama." "And for some irrational reason." "but..." "Do you think..." "Juvia can stay calm?" "Juvia will never forgive this girl!" "Water Nebula!" "Juvia..." "She's like a totally different person than the one I fought during the exam." "Her strong feelings for her loved one become her strength..." "This is Juvia's true power... please leave this to Juvia!" "as well." "Understood." "I'll leave this to you!" "I won't let number 4 get away!" "Maguilty Lese!" "Water Slicer!" "It's raining..." "Where are you headed?" "Their main camp?" "Where Grimoire Heart's master is?" "The tears put out of mind my own desires..." "The evil-eye wriggles impatiently in the darkness." "Rusty?" "no..." "Just the scream of a shattered heart." "you're quite beat up." "For you." "Proof that I fought someone strong." "Someone strong?" "That won't do at all." "There isn't anyone like that in this guild." "My heart's fragment wavers not." "You mustn't underestimate Fairy Tail. but the ability to turn their conviction into a blade..." "Conviction into a blade?" "Seems very much like our Meldy..." "Strange." "Gray... and the other holds love." "the different feelings cause him to be seen differently." "It's natural." "A symbol of individuality." "It's what makes us human." "I am lucky." "I came here for the purpose of killing Gray." "And I was able to meet with a person who feels strongly for Gray." "What's that supposed to mean?" "!" "Your feelings for Gray will kill him!" "and a great sea of despair!" "think of him!" "Picture the one you love..." "Gray-sama..." "There!" "Sense Link!" "What's this pain?" "Lost Magic." "Maguilty Sense!" "W-What have you done?" "Juvia and Gray's senses are now one." "I can only connect them if one's feelings for the other is strong enough." "J-Juvia and Gray-sama are... one?" "!" "anyway." "What is it now?" "I'm all light headed all of a sudden?" "doesn't it?" "Your two senses are fully linked together." "Juvia is in heaven!" "Juvia will die in agony!" "this magic only shares pain!" "All the pain you experience is felt by Gray." "No..." "You're trying to hurt Gray-sama?" "!" "Impossible..." "Her magic power continues to rise?" "She was this powerful?" "Her feelings are giving her strength." "Then I'll show you the power of feelings myself!" "Three Spread Sense Link!" "Why is Juvia hurt too?" "W-What in the world?" "If it's for Ultear..." "I don't need this life of mine!" "and now I am linked to my target." "and my senses are all linked together." "too!" "This is the dead-end of despair." "The dead-end of Gray's life!" "Love is a heart of affection." "Happy?" "Love is the feeling of wanting to protect someone dear to you." "Hey!" "Hello?" "Happy?" "Love is an overflowing passion!" "play a single tune together." "I've got fish?" "Carla's over there!" "Truly a love swimphony!" "This isn't working." "His head's gone off somewhere." "Next time:" "Love and the Tears of Vigor." "Happy." "I-I didn't mispronounce it!" "I was just twalking wike a nwative!" "got it." "Just slow down there." "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "Tenroujima. the rest of us are in desperate battles with the Lost Magic using 7 Kin of Purgatory!" "is drawing near... a woman the spitting image of Ul appeared in front of me... however fickle fate drew them near! and then she was welcomed into the guild as a Fairy Tail Wizard!" "she'll be linked for eternity with Gray-sama but this isn't the kind of link she was thinking of!" "Tears of Love and Vigor!" "and my senses are all linked together." "Gray will die." "Craziness..." "That means that you'd die as well!" "That's right." "This is my conviction!" "It's over." "The three of us can do nothing but die." "What is this pain?" "And my feet are cold!" "Someone's senses are flowing into me." "Is this what's doing it?" "When did I get stuck with it?" "Damn it..." "I'm going to lose sight of them because of this!" "Something seems to be pressing against my back?" "perhaps?" "He's leaning his back against something." "anymore!" "All I need to do is kill myself." "Don't!" "I am not afraid of death!" "I'm sorry!" "You..." "Your own leg?" "but it can't link the injury itself..." "The only way to stop me is to kill me!" "But the one special exception to this magic is that death itself is linked." "The lives of those that have been linked are one." "you still plan on fighting it?" "!" "The only path we three have left is to die..." "There is another way." "All three of us can live!" "Fairy Tail wizards do not take their lives!" "Naive fool!" "I am going to kill Gray for Ultear's sake!" "Not as long as Juvia is here!" "You'll be out of commission soon enough!" "I..." "I..." "It'll be all right..." "Please stop crying." "What's with the kid?" "She's a survivor." "Then we should crush her." "I'll look after her." "What are you talking about?" "We were ordered to wipe out all the people in the land where Zeref's key is sleeping." "I see how I was in the past when I look at her." "It'll be okay." "This girl can get close to the depths of magic." "why do you always seem lonely?" "don't call me Ul." "Ul is my mother..." "My dead mother's name." "She's dead?" "one day." "Ultear." "I don't need such a big girl as my daughter." "I..." "I..." "What... is this?" "Why?" "Why are you crying?" "too!" "too!" "Impossible... too?" "Live..." "But that's... too." "Juvia will live for the people she loves!" "You're the same!" "you've got to keep on living!" "Love?" "No..." "Live..." "If I link my emotions any more with this woman..." "The tears of love and vigor..." "These feelings are..." "I cannot fight you." "nor hide." "The senses that were connected to me have disappeared." "As well as the mark on my arm." "Tears?" "Damn it!" "What happened?" "Where is she?" "Crap!" "Following me?" "Who are you?" "yes?" "Ul." "She is Ul's daughter?" "and actually belonged to Grimoire Heart!" "I see." "don't you?" "Gray..." "I've wanted to see you for so long..." "Don't worry." "see." "Ta-da!" "How cute!" "Princess." "Virgo!" "Princess." "In addition... too?" "change your clothes." "You will catch cold." "Thanks... shall I assist you?" "I'm fine!" "I'll change myself!" "is it?" "I hope Carla and Lily are okay..." "Carla!" "Where's Lily?" "We found our camp along the way." "Gajeel and Mira are in critical condition." "Lily said he was stopping there." "I hope they're all okay." "Yes." "by the eastern shore." "huh?" "do you think we should head there?" "Cana might be there as well." "That's true." "I think it'd be for the best for us all to join together." "Right." "Let's go." "I'll take Gramps." "I..." "Stop the Magic Council." "don't worry." "please!" "Not a chance... at least." "Countin' on you." "that's not what I meant!" "I want to know exactly how you're going to manage to overcome this!" "By going all out." "That's it!" "My ally?" "That's right." "I..." "I know." "You don't have to say it." "Ul's death was not your fault." "My mother was only protecting her pupils." "I think of it with pride." "Don't lie to me." "I don't really care what you think of me." "But I can't think Ul would be proud of what you're doing!" "About Zeref?" "That's right!" "Deliora was the reason that Ul gave up her life!" "right?" "!" "You guys are going to use Zeref to create some nutty world that makes no sense!" "Gray..." "About what?" "!" "What I'm trying to do is what my mother is what Ul wanted." "Wendy!" "Where are you?" "Erza Scarlet." "Who goes there?" "!" "So we finally meet..." "Titania." "That girl?" "I finished her off." "What?" "!" "Even Meldy has been defeated..." "Incredible." "I never imagined that over half of the 7 Kin of Purgatory would be cut down." "Bluenote... oh my..." "Am I too late?" "Blue" "Makarov." "He's the only one I didn't want to use..." "It ends." "Natsu and the others are coming here?" "right?" "Indeed!" "Carla should be leading them here." "Thank goodness..." "We have a lot of injured here." "we'd be in trouble!" "They should also be bringing the wounded Master here." "They even got the Master..." "Levy..." "I know!" "We're never going to give up!" "I'm sure... too! there is something called an "insurmountable difference in strength"." "My fragment... it's shaking in excitement... not leaving a single one left!" "This is bad..." "Can I support myself in battle mode?" "Lily too..." "We've all reached the limits of our magic power!" "Natsu!" "Dranbalt-san..." "Will he be okay?" "Just leave that guy." "I'm worried about Cana as well." "Where did we get separated?" "I hope she's at the camp." "Someone's there." "What is this magic power?" "!" "Why is it raining so hard only near him?" "!" "My skin is all tingly..." "Who the hell are you?" "!" "Can you fly?" "not yet." "Fall." "I can't move!" "Gravity?" "!" "What was that?" "Amazing magic power!" "There's a monster even worse than him?" "!" "the annoying one has arrived." "are we?" "Who is that?" "it seems." "I suppose." "This island will be left lifeless." "Look here." "or Zeref..." "But there is one thing here that I want." "Mavis Vermilion?" "Mavis's grave is before me..." "I can finally become S class!" "I can finally meet my father!" "What is this?" "The grave is... shining!" "I need to tell you something." "what's up?" "Natsu." "What's that?" "Promise me you won't get mad?" "S-Sure... you see..." "I actually..." "You really won't get mad?" "Hurry up and spit it out!" "you got angry!" "Next time:" "The Words Couldn't Say." "That's 'cause you wouldn't say it." "It's a secret because it's something I can't tell people!" "Then why did you bring it up in the first place?" "What is this?" "The grave..." "It's shining." "The rain?" "What is this light?" "Fairy Glitter is sealed here." "What does this mean?" "The Words I Couldn't Say." "Damn you..." "What the hell are you after?" "I asked you already." "Where is Mavis's grave?" "either!" "The grave of the founding Master?" "It has something to do with the second test?" "I see." "I understand!" "but I suppose I'll ask anyway... too!" "But we're not letting you into Fairy Tail!" "I knew I shouldn't have asked..." "H-Happy!" "Cats should keep their damn mouths shut." "Was I asking you?" "I don't give a crap about some exam or S class..." "Stop treating me like an idiot." "You're the one that's treating us like idiots!" "Lucy-san..." "That grave is sacred to us!" "we'd never tell you..." "Lucy!" "you..." "The sparkle of fairies..." "Fairy Glitter!" "It's said to be on par with Fairy Law." "yes?" "What?" "I got no idea what you're talking about!" "Natsu!" "I-I'm being crushed!" "That sparkle is a merciless light that cannot stand the presence of enemies." "We don't know!" "hang in there!" "I want that magic." "I am... the son of Igneel!" "I won't... be grounded so easily!" "He's running!" "Even in this gravity?" "Impressive!" "It seems that spell is sealed at Mavis's grave..." "Will you tell me where it is?" "He jumped!" "doesn't he?" "Iron Fist of the..." "Not listening?" "Natsu!" "no..." "W-What is he?" "Is that Makarov lying over there?" "Oh..." "I should just ask him." "Stop!" "Just you try laying a hand on Gramps!" "You won't get away with... you brats." "Or should I just crush you all right now?" "Huh?" "He's too strong!" "What'll we do?" "What'll we do?" "Somebody..." "What?" "What does this mean?" "What I want isn't some spell!" "What about the exam?" "where are you?" "!" "Even though I got all this way..." "Even though I thought I might finally become an S class wizard..." "The last 12 years are riding on this exam... and I found out in her will that my father was still alive." "and it led me to Fairy Tail." "My father's name is Gildarts." "what are you doing standing there?" "F-Father..." "Hurry back home now." "Stand there too long and your clothes will start smelling like booze." "Huh?" "Why?" "Why didn't he realize who I am?" "I missed my chance to tell him... you need something?" "you know." "when will Gildarts be coming back?" "are you one of Gildarts' fans?" "I'm..." "The job he just headed out on... really?" "What?" "He'll be back before long." "Go ahead and drink some juice." "I ended up joining Fairy Tail." "The city split!" "Gildarts!" "didn't you?" "But..." "Yo!" "Good work there." "Master." "Seems like it went well." "I got a carrier pigeon with a note from the client expressing their thanks." "about that..." "Gildarts." "We've got someone we want to introduce to you." "that's right!" "Cana." "you hear?" "U-Um..." "Cana?" "I remember now!" "didn't realize it was you." "right?" "you joined the guild?" "nice having you." "you see... sorry about this when you just got back and all... could you come upstairs for a bit?" "Seriously?" "What kind of request is it?" "Father would only return occasionally... he'd head right out again on a job." "Yo!" "Cana." "U-Um..." "Hey!" "You're going to miss the train again!" "Crap!" "See you later!" "Father..." "The words I couldn't say back then..." "They grew larger and larger inside of me." "I learned the tarot in order to predict the days he would return." "you learned how to tell fortunes?" "You didn't know?" "Cana's fortunes are pretty spot on." "Oh?" "Then you should learn magic that uses cards." "huh?" "Sounds good to me!" "Card Magic?" "Me?" "I can't do magic..." "The heart!" "Cana." "and prayer are all a form of magic." "Miracles where only those who believe can sense them..." "That's right." "and believe in your own power..." "Only those who naturally believe in both can use magic." "Heart..." "And so I learned how to use Card Magic." "I could get a little closer to my father." "and the number one wizard in the guild." "I couldn't even be compared to him." "He was always a shining star. and at some point I became afraid to say the truth." "The turning point was the S Class Wizard Advancement Exam." "Me?" "Do your best." "Right!" "I decided..." "I would tell my father the truth." "But..." "I failed four years in a row." "passed one after another." "I was just the leftovers." "I'll never live up to my father." "That's why I decided this would be the last time." "I was thinking of quitting the guild." "I have no right to be Gildarts' daughter." "and leave the city." "Cana!" "I'm not gonna let you quit the guild!" "Because I'm going to make you an S class wizard!" "help!" "What's this card?" "Lucy." "I'll come to rescue you no matter how far away I am." "What the hell have I been doing?" "No!" "It shouldn't have turned out like this!" "I never intended to betray my friends..." "It's too late for me..." "I don't care if I can't become an S class wizard..." "I don't care if I can't tell my father how I feel..." "That's how much..." "I want to protect my friends!" "I don't need anything else!" "Just as long as everyone else is safe!" "It doesn't matter if I'm no longer in the guild! my heart will always be in the same place!" "please..." "Lend me the power to protect the guild." "Because I..." "I love this guild." "you have nothing to fear." "Mistakes are not shackles that halt one from stepping forward." "they are that which sustain and grow one's heart." "That voice... go." "I give you the Fairy Glitter." "Master Mavis..." "Understood." "This may be my final battle." "everyone at Fairy Tail!" "This way?" "Lucy!" "I'm coming for you!" "Fairy Glitter..." "I can defeat any enemy!" "I'm going to protect the guild!" "Is it you?" "!" "Cana!" "Cana!" "Cana-san!" "You're safe!" "Aye!" "You ain't gonna hurt my friends anymore!" "Fairy..." "Light?" "What's that magic?" "You're kidding me..." "That magic you have..." "Don't tell me..." "Fairy Glitter?" "Lucy..." "I'm sorry I left you behind." "I don't have any excuse for it." "I'm really sorry." "believe me now." "I can beat him!" "Wow!" "Did you get it at the grave?" "What?" "!" "S-She was at the grave?" "Don't tell me the exam..." "Let's put that aside for now." "Natsu." "Keep his attention while I gather up the magic power..." "There is no one who can move under my power of gravity." "I never would have thought the magic I was searching for would just show up in front of me." "Fairy Glitter." "I will be taking that spell." "Only those in our guild can use this magic!" "You won't be able to use it!" "all magic first began with a single spell." "Every type of magic originally came from just one." "Just one magic?" "I feel like I've heard that somewhere before..." "Those who get close enough to the depths of magic are able to use every type of magic." "Cana!" "Move!" "instead..." "Can a little girl like you actually use Fairy Glitter?" "Of course I can!" "It's an extremely difficult spell that gathers and concentrates sunlight and moonlight." "There's no way someone like you could use it!" "Don't worry." "I'll take good care of that magic for you." "Natsu-san." "He's so stupidly powerful..." "But in this gravity even he... that's not it!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "He did it?" "trash!" "Natsu!" "Go!" "I can use this magic..." "O River of Light led by the Fairies because I'm a Fairy Tail wizard!" "Impossible!" "That's..." "The sky is shining... it's from the other side..." "The stars themselves are shining!" "Shine down!" "To wipe out the fangs of evil!" "Fairy Glitter!" "What incredible light!" "That's one of the guild's 3 Grand Spells!" "Disappear!" "Fall!" "You call that Fairy Glitter?" "Don't make me laugh." "this is the result." "No..." "Did you know?" "I can still take that magic even after I kill you." "I didn't have enough power..." "Cana!" "Don't!" "Please!" "again." "You will fall down to hell." "Gildarts!" "No way..." "It's Gildarts!" "F-Father..." "I hear!" "right?" "I wonder?" "Maybe a fairy of the founding master will show up or something?" "I wanna fight it!" "and fight?" "Next time:" "The Tenrou Tree." "Sure I do!" "Sneak into Lucy's house." "Play pranks on Lucy." "Lucy..." "Sounds like this might go on a while..." "Can you write it down?" "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "The S Class Wizard Advancement Exam was held on Tenroujima." "I ended up participating as Cana's partner after she confessed something to me." "But during the exam Zeref appeared!" "And Grimoire Heart came to attack!" "What in the world is going to happen?" "!" "Fairy Glitter." "But it wasn't enough to stand up to the magic power" "Bluenote." "Cana was facing a truly dire situation." "returned!" "This guy..." "He's Gildarts." "Father..." "Gildarts!" "Get away from this place." "What?" "!" "Tenrou Tree." "I've never seen Gildarts this angry." "The tension in the air is incredible!" "Go!" "The ground's turned upside down!" "Incredible..." "How much magic power do the both of them have?" "!" "Carla..." "Huh?" "I didn't exactly cover for you." "I was pushed back?" "Me?" "!" "It won't come off!" "Sheesh!" "like he said." "Y-Yeah..." "But..." "Let's go." "We would just get in Gildarts's way here." "This guy..." "So strong!" "I wanna see this fight!" "Natsu!" "Father." "hurry up!" "It was a very important exam..." "It meant much more to the kids than the adults knew." "The determination of those kids to step out into tomorrow..." "You trampled all over it!" "Argh!" "I wanna see how the fight ends up!" "joining up with everyone else comes first!" "Yeah... everyone might be there." "or else..." "Dranbalt-san will surely help us!" "That guy?" "are you okay?" "thank you." "where Natsu's group is heading." "The wounded members are carried here." "However..." "Rustyrose!" "I'll devour every last Fairy!" "we're gonna protect everyone back there!" "Understood!" "I'm not going to let him lay a finger on Mira-nee!" "I can only maintain my battle form for a short time." "I have to finish this quickly." "and the wounded?" "this doesn't seem like it'll be a particularly dramatic event." "Too bad..." "I will not hold back." "I will crush you all!" "What the hell?" "You're just picking on the weak!" "my butt!" "Don't you feel any shame?" "!" "huh?" "We will sacrifice as many people as it takes to create our ideal world." "no weaklings are meant to survive there." "You will never create an ideal world that way!" "Yes!" "We learned that first-hand in Edolas!" "Then use your powers and try to stop me!" "he uses "fragment" as a metaphor for "heart"}" "Cry!" "Scream!" "Those voices will be your requiem!" "Who the hell are you?" "!" "Fried!" "Bickslow!" "You came back?" "!" "We noticed the signal flare." "We came back together with Gildarts." "too?" "Ha!" "My Ark of Embodiment isn't going to have trouble with a few more weaklings!" "I'll turn the whole bunch of you into tragic memorial stardust!" "We never planned on fighting you fair and square." "The two of us together will wipe you out completely." "you have sinned." "Rules do not apply to you." "Baryon Formation!" "In my left hand dwells a shield of gold that defends against all!" "Within my feet dwell Pegasus's wings!" "You think you can beat the power of imagination?" "You think you can beat my infinite power?" "!" "Gale Belfast!" "Mow them all down!" "Make my fragment shake!" "What... is that?" "I can sense a different kind of magic." "Fried!" "Bickslow!" "Be careful!" "No need to remind us!" "Seith Magic!" "Human Possession!" "Crumble!" "Impossible!" "Écriture of Darkness!" "Darkness!" "What the..." "Now that's the Raijinshuu!" "That's how they are when they fight seriously..." "They really are amazing!" "Stand up." "You have no path to forgiveness." "M-My fragment..." "It fears?" "which makes its roots on Tenroujima... the two strong warriors finally meet." "Erza and Azuma." "You finished off Wendy?" "!" "And not just that girl." "All of your comrades should be getting destroyed by my allies right now." "Don't be ridiculous!" "We have Natsu and Mirajane here as well!" "So you couldn't..." "I don't know about this wizard you call Natsu but the Demon Mirajane I defeated myself." "Perhaps you think I am lying?" "I will find out for myself with my own two eyes!" "I have good luck." "Erza Scarlet." "How lucky I am to destroy both myself!" "Ultear met Gray and told him something shocking." "I don't understand." "You wanted to meet me?" "I'm your ally?" "That's right." "I've been searching for you all this time... and I am Ul's daughter!" "We're almost like little brother and big sister." "W-What?" "!" "B-Brother and s-sister?" "!" "Y-You're my sister?" "!" "I mean it's kind of like that." "Of course I have no reason to hate you..." "Hold it!" "I'm not going to buy this all of a sudden!" "right?" "!" "It's true that I'm a member of Grimoire Heart..." "I'm sure that we can speak heart to heart." "after all." "The battle on Tenroujima headed toward its conclusion." "We all believed..." "We believed we'd be victorious." "That's what we believed. {check out the newspaper for a single frame..." "It has the date}" "Fear..." "Catastrophe!" "My fragment..." "It fears?" "!" "no problem." "This is not bad!" "Fear causes my power... my imagination to build up!" "spirits of Prettia!" "Devour the Fairies' souls!" "Here come more weird things!" "you two!" "They're clinging to my body!" "Does he mean his magic can turn anything he imagines into reality?" "!" "How in the world can you fight against that?" "This guy uses some creepy magic!" "Fried and Bickslow... right? who was expelled for trying and failing to take control of the guild." "I think." "Bastard." "A contemptible scoundrel like you has no right to utter Laxus' name!" "Bastard... this guy can fly!" "BLEVE!" "Venus Photon Slicer!" "What's so funny?" "I've been waiting for someone strong like you." "This is fun." "I hear of your bravery quite often." "where the fight is everything." "Only searching for those who are truly strong... but I cannot agree with that." "I do not search out those who are strong." "Not true." "You would never have obtained such strength unless you did." "that's all I need." "I wouldn't care how weak I was." "I guess... that's contradictory." "You are an interesting one." "I wish I could fight you fair and square." "What do you mean?" "I mean that time is up." "What?" "My magic is of the forest." "Tree magic." "Great Tree Ark." "My explosions are caused by using the magic of the great land to compress tree roots." "But the true power of this magic is to root into the ground and to control the magic power residing in the great land." "Control the magic of the land?" "!" "There was but one reason for me to arrive on this island before everyone else." "It was so I could prepare to take control over this island's magic." "What are you saying?" "but I cannot disobey a direct order." "you fiend?" "!" "What in the..." "The Tenrou Tree!" "T-The island!" "The island is crumbling!" "No!" "It's that giant tree that's crumbling!" "This is bad..." "Maybe I should have forced them to evacuate after all!" "Natsu..." "I hope you stay safe!" "What the heck is happening?" "!" "hurry!" "too!" "We have to hurry back to the camp!" "Huh?" "W-What is..." "I feel so weak..." "It's like all my energy is..." "No..." "What's going on?" "huh?" "W-What is this?" "All my power is disappearing!" "What in the world...?" "Bickslow!" "Changing Stream!" "The flow has reversed!" "I will have the last laugh!" "What's happening?" "I can't bring out any of my power!" "Damn it..." "I can't summon any power..." "Crap!" "What's happening?" "didn't you?" "Gildarts." "Makarov..." "You have a fine chess piece in your possession." "To think someone else could stop Bluenote other than I." "but have you taken control over the magic of Tenroujima?" "Fairy Tail has lost even its slightest chance of victory!" "Master Hades knows the power of this island well." "What?" "the Tenrou Tree... and protects them from dying while on the island." "It has a special ability to amplify magic power." "So that's why the master has the exam on this island." "And you destroyed the Tenrou Tree?" "!" "Yes." "That nullified the divine protection on your lives." "I am stealing away the magic power of every Fairy Tail wizard." "fitting for all of you." "That's insane!" "I don't believe you..." "It's already complete." "Fairy Tail has surely been wiped out." "But..." "I have left you as you were." "Titania..." "Your friends are at death's door around the island!" "You are the only one who can save them!" "Let's just see how great this power is that you have to protect your friends." "the tree in the middle of this island is seriously big." "What kind of tree is it?" "Aye!" "but I've never heard of that before." "Its name sounds strong!" "Is it strong?" "really." "it'd start moving or something!" "don't even think about that!" "Next time:" "Erza vs. Azuma!" "Natsu." "anyway." "You're the one who brought it up!" "that's all I need." "I wouldn't care how weak I was." "I guess... that's contradictory." "You are an interesting one." "I wish I could fight you fair and square." "What do you mean?" "I mean that time is up." "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "Each side presses the other as the battle on Tenroujima continues." "Bluenote appeared before Natsu's group." "but the second-in-command!" "The odds were stacked higher and higher against Fairy Tail." "and Gildarts came running back." "Fairy Tail started to gain some momentum." "But then something happened on Tenroujima that no one could have even imagined..." "The land where Fairy Tail's founding master rests..." "What future could Mavis's will illuminate for Fairy Tail?" "Damn it..." "What the hell is happening?" "P-Power..." "I can't gather any strength..." "All the energy from my body is being drained suddenly..." "What in the world is happening?" "Cana?" "Cana!" "answer me!" "I'm... so weak..." "I can't keep... my eyes open..." "This is strange..." "Even though I secretly ate some fish just a little while ago..." "I'm beat..." "I think I'm done..." "Happy!" "Could... this be...?" "Our magic power?" "What was that shaking before?" "I suppose." "My strength..." "It's being drained." "Sounds like he felled the Tenrou Tree." "He's stealing the magic power from all the people with the mark of Fairy Tail." "What?" "What the hell is happening?" "I suspect this was an order from Master Hades." "Why am I helping her?" "I don't really know myself." "Erza vs. Azuma!" "You fiend!" "but have left yours alone." "Titania." "your comrades are facing certain death." "You shall show me just how great this "power to protect your friends" is." "yes?" "Why did you do this?" "It was Master Hades's orders." "without exception." "No!" "Why is it that you purposefully left me free to act?" "I told you why." "I want to fight you seriously." "That's all. you will return everyone's power!" "I promise." "this is not how I would prefer to do things." "of course." "My friends' lives lie in the balance!" "I will win!" "Requip!" "Heaven's Wheel Armor!" "Heaven's Wheel!" "Blumenblatt!" "Folium Sica!" "Ramus Sica!" "This is not the Titania I was expecting." "I told you to come at me with all you've got!" "She's fast..." "Is that the Soaring Armor I've heard about?" "However...!" "The Adamantine Armor." "Ultimate defense." "Jupiter." "Excellent..." "But can it defend against this?" "too." "The Thunder Empress Armor." "Titania." "and flawless swordsmanship." "I'm impressed." "This is quite enjoyable." "So this is Great Tree Ark magic..." "This will be a challenge." "I see!" "It seems you are not just all talk." "You aren't obessed about people's strength for nothing." "Will you fight me at full strength now?" "But that won't be enough to stop me!" "Her magic power's increasing?" "!" "I can't break through even with the magic power of the Purgatory Armor?" "You seem to have overestimated your armor's power." "You were completely unguarded from below!" "Tower Burst!" "This man..." "What incredible magic power!" "He is truly strong." "The Fairy's Armor is still damaged..." "And I don't have any other armor that'll be a match for him." "What'll I do?" "Now that I think about it..." "I bought that Seduction Armor last week." "I might..." "I refuse!" "damn it!" "Talking to yourself?" "what should I do?" "I have to collect all of mine and focus it into an attack." "I can't use any magic power for defense." "I won't use any defense!" "I will concentrate all of my magic into my sword!" "A sword you can't even grip unless you discard all defense..." "Benizakura!" "My defeat means defeat for the guild!" "This will be my last stand!" "Titania!" "I cannot lose!" "This is for the guild!" "I will put everything into this one attack!" "What?" "!" "Release the magic power of "Tenrou" that sleeps in the great land!" "I can't move..." "Curses!" "The cries of the great land..." "Terra Clamare!" "Titania... defeated." "Erza... The Tenrou Tree has been destroyed by Azuma." "the divine protection that should be given to all who bear the mark of Fairy Tail has disappeared." "their magic power is being drained." "Fried and Gildarts are no exceptions." "Erza!" "Can anyone move?" "but my magic power is draining out of me!" "I'm dizzy..." "Does it have something to do with the tree on the center of the island falling?" "What'll we do?" "Cana's completely lost consciousness." "Can we still make it to the camp somehow?" "either." "Gramps's breathing has gotten weaker..." "Damn it..." "What's happening?" "Is everyone else safe?" "Siegrain-sama?" "Idiot!" "He's Jellal!" "Siegrain!" "old habit." "He destroyed our Magic Council!" "He's a villain who made people lose all confidence in us!" "Hey..." "You think he's casting a spell or something?" "He's in a cage made of magic sealing stone." "He can't use magic of any kind." "Want to test him?" "W-With what?" "look!" "but he can't do anything!" "Nadal..." "Stop." "What have you been muttering to yourself?" "we haven't been giving you much food lately." "You hungry or something?" "Nadal-sama"... and I'll allow you to eat." "Hey!" "then no meals for a week!" "Er...za..." "Don't lose..." "Don't lose..." "Erza..." "I-Impossible!" "You were hit with a massive amount of Tenroujima's magic power!" "Did I just hear Jellal's voice?" "That can't be..." "Don't be weak..." "He's no longer here." "Don't be misled by emotions..." "Center your mind!" "to protect everyone!" "Frightening..." "Do I lack the footwork?" "I don't know whether I'll be able to win with the magic power I have." "But the difference in "weight" he and I carry is great." "everyone's lives are riding on me." "I must protect them..." "The guild..." "My friends!" "I will win!" "You're so formidable that my heart is racing!" "Erza Scarlet!" "as long as I live." "Curses!" "Let's name you "Erza Scarlet"!" "Scarlet." "The color of your hair." "I'll never forget." "Move!" "It was the color of your hair." "Move!" "This is the end!" "Have another taste of the magic power of Tenroujima!" "Terra Clamare!" "Erza?" "Is this... the end?" "Giving up?" "Jellal..." "Erza." "Everyone?" "I see... that's how it is..." "I apologize." "I'd forgotten one crucial thing..." "I am not protecting everyone!" "T-This is..." "It is I... who is always... being protected!" "Tenroujima's magic power that I should have under control is protecting Erza?" "Trust..." "Bonds..." "Her true strength... but "Many"!" "What an amazing guild!" "Excellent." "have you seen Gray?" "I haven't." "haven't seen Juvia either." "What're they doing?" "Gray and Juvia?" "Don't tell me..." "Haven't heard this in a while:" "They llllllike each other!" "it's not that exciting." "Next time:" "Frozen Spirit." "wasn't Juvia with Erza?" "that's boring." "exactly?" "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "Erza..." "I apologize." "I'd forgotten one crucial thing..." "I am not protecting everyone!" "T-This is..." "It is I... who am always... being protected!" "Trust..." "Bonds..." "Their true strength... but "Many"!" "What an amazing guild!" "Excellent." "You..." "Your body..." "Frozen Spirit." "You..." "Your body... you see." "It seems I overused it considerably..." "I will keep my promise." "Everyone's magic power will be returned to them." "Do you know a man by the name of Jellal?" "Yes..." "He lost his mind after supposedly being possessed by the ghost of Zeref." "A tragic man who traverses a life of nothingness." "He was someone you held dear?" "My apologies." "I believe that was all the work of Ultear." "I heard it was an 8-year plan to have the Magic Council turn a blind eye to our actions at the time." "She is a fearsome woman." "Master Hades trusts her more than anyone." "Why are you so fixated on searching for Zeref?" "The magic at the beginning of the world..." "To get closer to the One Magic." "...perhaps?" "The One Magic?" "And what happens when you get there?" "Jellal dreamt of Heaven." "We..." "Hey!" "The One Magic." "What?" "Power is welling up within me!" "What's happening?" "My body is filling with magic power." "It's coming back!" "Yes!" "it's back." "Our power is back!" "Okay!" "Back in business!" "my babies!" "I wonder?" "it seems like our magic power is back to normal." "Maybe Carla and the others are late getting here because of what happened?" "Azuma?" "Their magic power is back to normal!" "With even Gildarts here losing his magic power..." "He's not even a match for me..." "You got your power back?" "it ain't dignified for me to take a beating like this." "I gotta put on a good show in front of those kids!" "Good!" "Gildarts!" "Let's have a fight where we can fly even higher!" "How about we fight seriously now?" "Black Hole!" "What the..." "An infinite gravity well that sucks in everything!" "you..." "Fly!" "Fly!" "Dimguil's Tower!" "and return them to dust!" "What is this?" "I can't move!" "Damn it!" "Even we are caught up!" "Crap..." "I don't have a choice." "I'll use my Figure Eyes." "But it won't work on someone with glasses..." "Actually..." "There's a man I can count on with his eyes wide open!" "I'll be controlling you for a bit!" "Do it!" "Countin' on you!" "What?" "The spell is broken!" "Fried!" "Please!" "Right!" "Cracks?" "how about I send you flying?" "You broke my spell to pieces?" "Eh?" "Fight for what's right!" "The heavens!" "Écriture of Darkness!" "Perish!" "Looks like your magic power is back to normal..." "Ul's... will?" "You're free to believe me or not..." "I'm taking Zeref and leaving this island." "You... defeat Hades." "you should be able to defeat him." "Please..." "You're the only one who can carry out what Ul and I have wished for!" "hurry!" "It's like that weakness from before was just some bad dream... it's not like we're fully recovered... don't you think you're going a little fast?" "We gotta!" "I have to think of Gramps here!" "And I won't know what's happened to everyone else unless we get back to the camp!" "I... can't go on..." "I'm so hungry I can't walk!" "right?" "care killed the cat." "I am hungry. and then I beat the crap out of him... me too." "Cana's heavier than you'd think... but that's still a terrible thing to say..." "See?" "It's not always me!" "we're in trouble!" "so I climbed way up high." "The giant tree growing on the island has collapsed down to the roots!" "Then that means the felling of the tree was the cause of our magic power drying up?" "It is called the Tenrou Tree." "I hear it gives divine protection to those in the guild." "but anyone who's got a Fairy Tail mark can't die or something." "Then that's why all the injured people made it." "why did our magic power return?" "The tree is still toppled..." "We cannot relax yet." "we must stay on our guard while our magic power recovers..." "All right..." "Gray." "I... will defeat Hades." "Iced Shell requires the caster to give up their life..." "I know." "I know full well!" "Thank you." "Back off." "or for Ul." "It's for the guild!" "W-What's happened?" "Everyone..." "Even Gajeel and Mira-san?" "I'll use healing magic right away!" "Natsu." "you're safe!" "thank goodness!" "but look at how many..." "Wendy." "And look here..." "You've been using magic all day." "or else..." "I agree!" "what happened?" "This guy attacked us here." "our magic power suddenly disappeared." "but Fried and Bickslow fought for us." "everyone had already been injured here and there..." "It's gotten so dire without me even realizing it!" "don't cry." "The cheerful characters like us can't cry!" "Happy..." "Y-Yeah..." "Unforgivable..." "Completely unforgivable..." "Natsu..." "Natsu-san." "So even the Master and Cana are casualties..." "What the hell's goin' on here?" "The Grimoire Heart battleship is anchored off to the east." "how about splitting into two teams?" "and one defense team?" "Meldy..." "Ul..." "Ultear..." "Is that him?" "Yes..." "This is Zeref." "Change of plans." "We're leaving this island like this." "I haven't found Gray yet." "Forget about him." "He's not our enemy." "What does Zeref have to do with Ul's wishes?" "Gray." "My father was killed by Hades." "Ul chased after Grimoire Heart behind the scenes." "I found her diary and learned the truth." "I infiltrated Grimoire Heart." "Hades's magic power was beyond anything I could imagine." "which is why she mastered Iced Shell." "Iced Shell?" "I wasn't able to master it." "Even though Ul's blood runs through my veins..." "The only magic I know of right now that can defeat Hades is Iced Shell." "Don't worry about Zeref. so that no one will ever find him again." "I'm not handing him over to Hades!" "you're the only one who can carry out what Ul and I have wished for!" "He isn't our enemy." "He's a pawn!" "He actually bought that story I came up with on the spot?" "Seriously?" "then Hades and Gray will off each other!" "I couldn't think of anything better!" "Even Master Hades?" "why?" "Zeref will be ours alone!" "You're going to trick Master Hades?" "Hades..." "Everyone should just dance in the palm of my hand..." "I'm not handing Zeref over to anyone!" "all mine!" "pardon me..." "I really shouldn't put so much confidence in Gray." "But he should at least serve to distract Hades." "Let's leave the island before he catches on." "Right." "Who's this woman?" "Juvia." "She and Gray are close." "What are you doing?" "obviously." "she can't fight any more..." "Stay quiet." "I won't let Gray have even a hint of a future." "or die from Iced Shell." "you'll have lost your precious friend!" "Gray!" "I thought as much." "I'm surprised." "When did you catch on?" "I never believed a damn thing you said!" "I see." "you pretended to believe me in order to find out my true aim..." "You naughty boy." "I've decided never to use that magic again!" "I stopped you before 'cause I didn't want you to die." "Maybe I didn't get through to you?" "No matter what Ul wanted..." "I have my own will!" "along with my friends!" "Live..." "Sheesh..." "I guess you're not such a good boy after all." "I had hoped you'd get lucky and get rid of Hades for me..." "I really didn't want to fight you." "you're one of that woman's beloved pupils... you know!" "rotten daughter!" "I'm gonna teach you a lesson in your mother's place!" "About that..." "You've made one big mistake." "I am the leader of the 7 Kin of Purgatory!" "You don't stand a chance against me!" "All right!" "We've beaten all the enemies around for now..." "Time to take on the bossman!" "but you hardly show up next episode." "What?" "!" "The main character doesn't show up?" "I can't believe it!" "Natsu." "I'm the main character!" "Next time:" "Divine Power." "As if." "Natsu..." "I didn't see a shot with you in the preview..." "Never forgive..." "Never forgive..." "Ultear!" "rotten daughter!" "I'm gonna teach you a lesson in your mother's place!" "Ultear!" "Don't worry about me!" "Hurry and take Zeref to the evacuation area." "Right!" "wake up!" "Gray-sama's voice!" "to be awakened by Gray-sama's voice..." "In whose sheets does Juvia awaken this morning?" "Hey!" "The Power of Life chase after them!" "Don't let them have Zeref!" "As you wish!" "L-Leg is..." "Juvia!" "Okay!" "Understood!" "Gray-sama pain means nothing!" "Juvia." "Ice Make Lance!" "Advance that ice's time to the future!" "Vaporize!" "Time Ark?" "Right." "but I heard it's a Lost Magic that can manipulate time at will." "Gray might be fighting her at the moment..." "Ice Maker Magic wouldn't..." "Aye..." "That's gonna be a tough match-up." "Even Natsu was totally beat up." "I wasn't! we don't have time to go saving him." "either." "Why?" "no matter what." "I wouldn't want anyone gettin' in the way." "what a long friendship..." "Totally in sync..." "It's like you can tell what the other's thinking..." "That ain't it!" "what about a cross-dressing geezer?" "He was a geezer when I met him on Galuna Island... what a shock!" "wasn't the old man the disguise?" "No." "I definitely get a "young Master Bob" feel to the guy." "Definitely a guy!" "I feel sorry for Gray." "You're gonna get killed the next time you run into the guy." "What exactly are you doing?" "Princess." "For when the enemy is in pursuit." "not that..." "Why are you in a swimsuit?" "It is raining." "it is fanservice." "For who?" "I was thinking..." "Is this really the time for us to be chatting so casually?" "You're not one to talk!" "Attack and defend..." "Two teams..." "Guess it's time to decide." "Lucy." "Are you saying this is my fault?" "yes?" "Go back!" "Ice Make Hammer!" "To the future!" "Damn it..." "Ice Magic doesn't work?" "Of course not!" "I learned Time Ark in order to kill Maker Magic wizards like my mother." "In order... to kill Ul?" "!" "I hated her for so long..." "It's no use!" "Flash Forward!" "Ul cared for you!" "So?" "It's sad she can't show those feelings anymore!" "you'll go hand-to-hand?" "I'll beat you with ice." "I will beat you with Ul's magic!" "can manipulate the time of objects." "Move ice to its future and it vaporizes." "and it becomes water." "I believe in Ul's Maker Magic." "Ice cannot defeat me." "Maker Magic won't be of any use at all!" "I..." "I will seal away will seal away your darkness!" "...your darkness!" "Ice isn't going to work!" "I can't move its time!" "how?" "You shouldn't be able to manipulate the time of living things..." "Red ice..." "Don't tell me..." "He froze his own blood?" "!" "Ice Blade:" "Seven Strike Dance!" "breaking off the bones..." "What persistence..." "But..." "But..." "I cannot lose!" "That pose..." "Not until I've gone to the World of Great Magic!" "Ice Make:" "Rozen Krone!" "It's the exact same Maker Magic as Ul!" "Maker Magic is magic that's free." "it takes a different form." "Find your own form... then you can be as strong as anything..." "I never thought..." "I would be able to see it again." "Ul's magic..." "I suppose so... after all..." "Silence!" "you..." "What?" "Why have you become like this?" "Why?" "!" "Shut up!" "You couldn't even hope to understand!" "I was abandoned by my mother!" "Mom..." "Where are we going?" "Mom?" "Mom?" "I was abandoned by my mother." "we have come to pick you up." "the place I was sent..." "Where's my mom?" "Your mother has gone home." "Your mother requested that we strengthen your magic." "Where is this?" "This is the the Bureau of Magic Development." "It's a wonderful facility that invents a range of new magic." "please go into your room." "But... you cannot see your mother." "That's what she requested." "A change of clothes is prepared for you inside." "We will call for you soon." "Mom..." "Why?" "Why did you..." "I wanna go home!" "Ultear-sama..." "It is time." "What?" "What are you doing?" "This is scary!" "We are strengthening your magic." "It may hurt a little." "Please bear with us." "Think of it as for your mother's sake!" "Mom!" "It is time." "No..." "I won't go..." "It is time." "How goes it?" "She is quite the vessel." "We cannot even compare her to the other test subjects." "As I thought. who is said to be near the level of one of the 10 Great Wizard Saints..." "Increase the level by a factor of 5." "Inject the magic power for one hour." "Do not rest." "sir." "I wanna go home... come and get me..." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Test subject 3373 is escaping!" "We've detected an extreme rise in magic power!" "What do you think?" "Leave her be for now." "daughter of Ul..." "Mom!" "Mom!" "My mind and heart were in tatters after being subjected to magic power enhancing experiments again and again... only wishing to see my mother..." "But... what I saw there... looking happy... and started living a happy life with different children..." "Never forgive..." "I returned to the Bureau of Magic Development as a test subject." "and get revenge on my mother..." "Never forgive..." "Never forgive..." "What is the matter?" "Well... her magic power has increased abnormally rapidly." "We think going any further may be dangerous..." "I see." "Interesting." "but..." "The nature of her magic is different." "Performing a Body Link with her and myself may be impossible." "Raise the level to the maximum." "there is danger of an explosion..." "I do not care." "I have obtained all the magic I require." "I have no more need for this place." "I will leave Ul's daughter as a parting gift for them." "He disappeared... we've got trouble!" "The magic power is flowing in reverse!" "It's gonna explode!" "Evacuate!" "Evacuate! and a Dark Guild who was after him... the World of Great Magic will be complete." "World of Great Magic?" "all magic can be used freely..." "There is even magic that will allow you to get back happiness which was lost." "Magic to get back lost happiness?" "Time Ark." "I will train you to use it." "Time Ark cannot be said to be complete." "It is an ancient Lost Magic which has been forgotten..." "Time Ark will be complete." "You can can become someone who voyages through time..." "In order to do it all again..." "To change this accursed life to one of happiness..." "I will complete the World of Great Magic!" "save her!" "What was that voice?" "please!" "Again?" "Her magic power has been too great ever since she was born!" "These are... my mother's memories? and her fever won't go down!" "there's a special facility..." "My mother's memories..." "Why is something like that... who melted on Galuna Island and flowed into the sea..." "The sea?" "This is... inside my mother?" "Dead?" "she's dead?" "Why?" "What in the world happened?" "and that's all." "You were supposed to cure her!" "I heard you specialized in this..." "And yet... but her magic power was just too strong." "It was beyond our ability to cope with." "It's better for you not to see the body." "But..." "Wait!" "Give me back my daughter!" "Give Ultear back to me!" "It's different..." "It's different than what I remember..." "Ice Make Gungnir!" "once." "I felt like a light had flown into my heart..." "My dreams were filled with her bright future..." "I was... so very happy." "The infinite possible futures her tiny body held..." "The power of life..." "My overflowing tears just wouldn't stop. and go back to who I was before I hated my mother..." "She was the proof of my life." "My tear." "Ul...tear." "Mom..." "My battle is over." "My battle ain't over yet." "You can't beat Hades." "Doesn't seem like it." "Not gonna be possible on my own." "The weather seems like it's getting worse..." "It's just settin' the stage for a thrilling climax!" "I'm gettin' fired up!" "Natsu?" "that's definitely gonna be a problem..." "Hey!" "You sayin' some rain's gonna put out my flames?" "That delayed reaction..." "We don't do that style gag much." "Next time:" "Thunder Roar!" "not some comedy routine!" "So you're aware this is just a routine?" "and I wish I wasn't!" "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "All righty then!" "It's finally time for the last battle!" "but I can't stand dogs." "What brought that on?" "don't you?" "Of course not!" "Absolutely not!" "I wonder about that..." "Grimoire Heart." "Gray pulled out a victory." "Now the only enemy left is Master Hades." "Fairy Tail begins the final battle of Tenroujima by joining together to fight." "The weather is taking a turn for the worse." "Lightning..." "I don't like this." "Lily?" "Don't tell me..." "You're scared of thunder?" "Looks like he's got some cute points." "you!" "Now then..." "Let's go beat Hades!" "Lucy!" "Happy!" "sir!" "M-Me?" "Thunder Roar!" "right?" "but wouldn't Fried be more suited..." "I have to stay here and draw runes." "Leave the defense to us!" "I'll go with Natsu-san and Lucy-san!" "Wendy!" "I think I can at least support Natsu-san!" "I-I'll go as well!" "I have to pay them back for Gajeel." "I'll stay here and help Fried with the runes." "I'll stay beside Mira-nee and Elf-niichan..." "Then that decides things." "period!" "Lu-chan!" "Be careful." "I've recovered most of my magic power." "Hades is probably the only enemy left!" "This looks to be the final battle... too!" "I got it already!" "Exceed Squad..." "Move out..." "Let's get going!" "Yeah!" "wait a second!" "Always stay by Natsu's side." "he gets even stronger." "Sure." "Wait... right... there..." "What the hell is she?" "Hand Zeref over!" "What about the "love" or whatever you were talking about?" "I don't want to fight you!" "Meldy." "Zancrow!" "huh?" "I-I'm..." "So you and Ultear-san are gonna betray us after all?" "No!" "You ain't a member of Grimoire Heart any more!" "Zeref will be ours!" "Wait...." "Zeref is Ultear's future..." "My... future..." "Naive fool!" "How long are you gonna keep saying that?" "Ultear promised me... she'd turn my town back to normal!" "Your town?" "too." "Ultear-san promised?" "Except that it was Ultear-san who destroyed the town herself!" "You're..." "lying." "Acnologia." "man whose name I do not know." "I have burdened myself once again with darkness." "Thank goodness..." "You two seem safe." "I have no intention of doing anything in this age." "and no one's enemy." "However..." "If this age is now coming to an end I may spring into action once again." "I wanted you to destroy me before that happened..." "Natsu..." "That word he just said..." "Acnologia?" "Damn it..." "I can't keep my eyes open..." "I can't go on..." "Erza..." "You okay?" "Looks like I keep getting saved by other people." "I am no different." "Everyone!" "Gray!" "Erza-san!" "Same with me!" "To think that the 7 Kin of Purgatory and Bluenote would be done in... and praise Makarov's troops." "having to face these foot soldiers?" "The games played between demon and fairy are now over." "now..." "Shall I play with you a bit?" "The 3rd generation Fairy Tail!" "Makarov's brood!" "You come down here!" "He thinks he's all that!" "He's the one who hurt the Master!" "right?" "Yup!" "We'll all get out of here!" "Happy..." "I have a request for you guys." "What is it?" "and destroy it." "It'd be a problem if it started to fly again..." "Natsu." "Understood." "Leave that much to us." "I'll cast Troia on you just in case." "Let's get this party started!" "Here we go!" "too!" "Infiltrate from the ship's bottom!" "He's a wizard on an even higher level than our Master!" "at the same time!" "Right!" "I'll give him every last bit of power I have!" "We don't have time to think about what comes afterwards!" "I finally get to punch this guy!" "I'm all fired up!" "Hades!" "Taste the power of Fairy Tail!" "Fairy Tail's... power?" "Black Wing:" "Moon Gleam!" "Cold Excalibur!" "I open thee!" "Tauros!" "and speed!" "Arms!" "Armor!" "Vernier!" "Annoying brats." "Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon!" "Natsu!" "Got it!" "Go!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "Scorpio!" "A Unison Raid?" "!" "Sword Edge of the Fire Dragon!" "People says that their mistakes become "experience"." "But a true mistake does not leave one with any experience." "they have no future left at all." "That's..." "Not even a scratch?" "!" "Whoa..." "We were going all out back there!" "The nature of his magic power... has changed?" "Now then..." "I think that should be enough warm-up exercises." "Brace yourself!" "Wendy!" "Wendy!" "Destroyed without even a trace left?" "Pitiful." "Maybe I will just erase the rest of you one at a time." "Wendy!" "What the hell have you done?" "You've got to be kidding me!" "please calm down." "I am safe." "...she says." "Horologium!" "Thank goodness." "My automatic emergency danger avoidance mode has been activated." "Um..." "I kind of remember being in a whole lot of danger myself..." "The danger level was far greater this time." "I am very sorry." "Horologium-san." "...she says." "Just as annoyingly roundabout as always... why are her clothes all that's left?" "so only the person themselves was protected." "then that means... in there you're..." "Kya!"... she says." "please change into these." "we're in your debt." "I give you our thanks." "I can only protect you this once." "please be very careful." "Horologium!" "eh?" "This will be fun after all..." "You know Gramps?" "What?" "He didn't tell you?" "I wonder?" "I was once the 2nd master of Fairy Tail." "I took the name Purehito." "Liar!" "I was the one who chose Makarov as the 3rd guildmaster." "As if we'd believe that!" "Stop spouting such crap!" "Natsu!" "I dance with magic!" "Hey!" "What happened to the sound-proofing on this ship?" "I can still hear the thunder loud and clear!" "yeah..." "It's fine!" "It won't hit the ship!" "Let's try over here next." "Lily!" "There's no doubt..." "How could I mistake that?" "!" "I definitely heard..." "Acnologia?" "Did Zeref really say that?" "I'm sorry." "I couldn't even move." "It doesn't matter now." "If Zeref really said Acnologia..." "R-Retreat!" "retreat!" "The investigation of Tenroujima is over and done with!" "T-There's nothing that can be done." "It's over." "I'm sorry." "or not?" "An eternal riddle... an eternal journey." "that was the reasoning behind the name of the guild..." "But your journey will end soon." "Mavis's will was entrusted to me." "And my will was entrusted to Makarov." "But that was a mistake." "Makarov changed the guild!" "What's wrong with change?" "He exposed magic to too much sunlight!" "That's our Fairy Tail!" "We ain't a living corpse like you!" "bastard!" "then just stop right there!" "little devil!" "Natsu!" "blame Makarov." "Stop it!" "It is Makarov's fault that you will die suffering!" "Stop!" "You..." "Revenge... for Gramps..." "Enough." "Begone." "Don't!" "It hit!" "Calm down!" "So this is the guy who hurt my old man?" "Natsu..." "Laxus..." "Boy!" "or not?" "Natsu?" "Sure they do!" "A fairy without a tail is like stir-fried vegetables without any meat!" "What's with the nutty metaphor?" "if you add meat it turns into a different dish!" "it's like stir-fried vegetables without the vegetables." "Then what is in it?" "Next time:" "The Man Without the Mark not stir-fry!" "let's eat!" "I'm starving!" "Laxus..." "Laxus has come for us!" "That person is the Master's grandson?" "Brat." "are we?" "Pitiful..." "Looks like this guy totally wiped the floor with all of ya." "No kidding." "Why are you here?" "Came to visit the founder's grave." "if you remember." "I came here to visit Mavis's grave." "too." "too!" "The Man Without the Mark!" "now." "Never thought the boy would have such a stuck-up grandkid." "You move fairly well." "too." "To think the boy had someone other than Gildarts at this level." "The old man once told me that when facing a strong opponent:" "It don't matter how strong the guy is." "What's more important is standing up to him." "Natsu?" "Laxus." "Foolishness." "Sounds like the excuse of a weakling to me." "yes?" "youngster!" "This'll be fun." "they lose all purpose." "It's crucial they are precise." "Make sure to check the fine details as you fill them in." "Right!" "Gajeel." "Did you say something?" "then say it loud and clear." "It's not that!" "Elf-niichan." "I've rested plenty." "I could at least stand watch..." "Elf-niichan." "Eva!" "Eva!"..." "I was just kidding!" "you guys are sure taking' it easy." "easy!" "And where the hell were you?" "I got rid of the glasses guy who was out for the count." "he'd have given away our position." "Good work with that." "We will proceed along." "too." "Maybe you could rest a bit?" "this ain't nothin'." "Stab" "What?" "That's Eastern Solid Script!" "They're..." "Heavy Egg Rain!" "A sneak attack?" "Looks like we've already been traced." "These guys should have been defeated by Gajeel!" "That's not fair!" "Zuzazazazaza... that does not change the manner of my battle!" "The runes!" "Protect the wounded!" "too!" "But you can't!" "Master Hades will be angry if we stay defeated!" "And that's not all!" "Thanks to all the damage you guys have done... we'll definitely get promoted into the 7 Kin of Purgatory-pero!" "They..." "Wait." "first!" "But..." "How long are you gonna stay down?" "We're counting on you!" "Leave it to me!" "my babies!" "Seith Magic?" "In that case..." "Defense" "Ow!" "damn it!" "What's with this guy?" "He's super-hard!" "That's 'cause I've already Self-Strengthened." "But I thought Happy stole that doll!" "of course!" "His name is Mr. Cursey #2!" "#2?" "I haven't missed a beat and I already stole one of you guys' hairs." "no!" "Don't go freaking out just yet." "I can learn from my past losses at battle." "Change Mr. #2 to be made of iron!" "Huh?" "you just need to say so." "What?" "I don't get you!" "Then I have no choice." "My new special move that I learned from my loss:" "Metallic Rocket Mr. #2!" "What?" "!" "Elf-niichan?" "!" "Lisanna!" "such beautiful love between brother and sister!" "A lot of girls tell me they want to be my little sister." "putting that aside..." "I am one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory." "But I will still use my full strength to destroy weaklings like you." "We can't lose..." "How could we?" "!" "Because... we're Fairy Tail!" "Romeo hasn't come back yet?" "He's tagging along with Al and Bisca on a job." "They better not have ditched him and started makin' out or something!" "Those two?" "Not a chance." "anyway..." "We've got more people than ever." "can't say I'm surprised." "and the number of jobs we've got has increased correspondingly." "Just look at all these requests!" "Mr. I Never Go on a Job." "It is something to see!" "For I have completed a new dance!" "the "Dance of Greatest Power!" "sure." "Good job there." "Droy..." "Are you still stuffing yourself?" "No problem!" "I can eat all I want and stay thin!" "how long has it been?" "I had a bunch of long-term jobs in a row." "and you're gonna get like Reedus!" "that's all." "I'm back!" "Romeo!" "Damn it..." "Lately you keep goin' on every job you can!" "all right!" "that's for sure." "Lay off it!" "Aww..." "It's boring without Natsu-nii and the others." "Romeo?" "no matter how many people are in the guild..." "Yeah." "Definitely kind of quiet." "the strongest team..." "Dragon Slayers... aren't they?" "we're... nice and quiet." "huh?" "up there?" "first!" "How many years have you been standing there?" "the S Class Exam..." "I wonder how it's going?" "All of them are really great this year." "why did Wendy go?" "right?" "no..." "There were only 7 this year." "Getting up in years?" "Forgotten who the candidates were again?" "You think Natsu-nii can become S Class?" "I'm gonna become an S Class wizard for sure!" "buddy." "You'd better become a wizard first!" "Right!" "I'm all fired up!" "We're not going to get anywhere searching all together." "Let's split up and search." "Yes!" "Carla is exactly right!" "Split up..." "You mean alone?" "You scared?" "Absolutely not!" "We're splitting up!" "Right..." "Sorry... perhaps?" "Who designed this crazy ship?" "I'm not scared..." "I'm not scared..." "This is suspicious." "I see..." "Came up empty?" "well." "Let's all move further on." "R-Right..." "You little..." "I'll give you that." "We wouldn't be Grimoire Heart if we didn't pay you back tenfold for what you did to us!" "we will finish you off!" "Ready?" "Who goes there?" "Give me a friggin' break." "hurt my friends..." "You targeted wounded who couldn't move!" "big time!" "Head to Lisanna." "The runes are done with?" "I have completed a minimal defense." "But the next step is eliminating these two." "Here we go." "Roger that." "but you did manage to injure Gajeel that severely..." "The two of them attack together..." "It's a real pain!" "Elf-niichan!" "Lisanna." "The way to fight a wizard that changes their element back and forth is to work as a team!" "but together there's a chance!" "I have a bad feeling about this!" "This is an Amaterasu formation...!" "Scatter and fall!" "Crap! and it is impossible for them to move at all." "your magic power will be wiped out." "Whoa!" "Laxus..." "Were you this strong?" "That power was just from one leg." "I've got another one." "And both my arms!" "and my entire body." "we're not talkin' two or three times stronger..." "Wanna try me?" "Nice speech!" "Is this the confidence of youth?" "But youth is not what is needed to walk the path of magic!" "Youth is..." "Nonsense!" "Not going to work." "will never fall for your attempts to seduce me." "Who said I was... it's about time to finish you off." "so that you do not feel pain..." "Cana!" "That's hot!" "You burnt my bristle!" "marshmallow man!" "Time to take you down a peg!" "Who you callin' a marshmallow?" "!" "Summoned Lightning!" "H-He's..." "Are you another one that's fallen for my manliness?" "I don't have a particular type of girl I like." "I take all comers." "Huh?" "And my attack isn't working." "Change Mr. Cursey #2 to electric power!" "lightning!" "aren't you?" "Not fast enough!" "I can dodge that easily!" "Prayer's Fountain!" "and getting heavy!" "Here comes the next one!" "Ice Lance!" "heat!" "What an exchange..." "Cana is really something!" "So this is what it takes to be a candidate in the S Class Wizard Exam?" "I'm at a loss when I have two of you approaching me so fervently... yes?" "this might be a problem." "haven't you?" "everyone!" "Levy!" "we can handle this somehow!" "The three of you can what?" "What's this?" "You're going to fight me three on one?" "Being confessed to by three girls at the same time!" "how popular am I all of a sudden?" "But!" "I am awkward!" "as you can see!" "A serious relationship should be one on one!" "So which one of you is it going to be?" "Speak up!" "No thanks." "I'm not sad at all!" "I knew you were going to say that!" "I totally did!" "Solid Script:" "Hole!" "Explosion!" "Penguin!" "Huh?" "that's..." "Elf-niichan?" "H-Heavy..." "This is the forbidden double-Self-Strengthen!" "Mr. Cursey #3!" "I can change bodies at will!" "Self-Strengthen with mist!" "Now I am impervious to all physical and secondary attacks!" "Runes?" "When did you... so Fried placed a number around earlier." "This is a rune trap that makes it impossible to use magic." "Activated!" "Nice!" "leave that to us!" "here we go!" "Lisanna!" "Okay!" "Explosion on the right and storm on my left!" "Combine them together for:" "Triple Unison Explosion!" "What?" "My second loss in a row?" "That's totally lame!" "Looks like we just got another promotion-pero." "Good!" "This is good!" "We've got an even better chance of moving up-pero!" "They're happy because their comrade got defeated?" "after all." "We cannot understand how they think." "Two left." "Let's clean them up!" "Oh?" "What's the matter?" "It's a little too soon to be bending knee to me after the boasting you just did." "Laxus!" "don't tell me..." "He got hit by that magic earlier!" "The world... sure is vast." "To think there'd be monsters like this in the world..." "I've got a long way to go." "What the hell are you saying?" "!" "Laxus!" "Laxus fellow." "But that ends now." "You shall now disappear!" "Laxus!" "But I'm not a member of Fairy Tail any more." "Dodge it!" "You can't let yourself be hit by that!" "Laxus!" "It's okay to get pissed... right?" "it is!" "Laxus's lightning!" "Laxus!" "My anger..." "Natsu." "Natsu-san?" "Thanks for... the meal." "Electrified?" "That's all of my magic power." "What?" "He gave his magic power to Natsu?" "that means..." "He ate lightning?" "I heard he got sick from it the last time..." "Laxus..." "He took that blow without any magic power at all!" "That's just how much he wanted to give Natsu-san his magic power?" "Why... to me...?" "I'm... weaker than Laxus..." "It ain't about bein' strong or weak." "Who was it that got hurt?" "damn it!" "It's the guild that'll pay him back for the pain suffered by the guild!" "100 times over." "Yeah." "A fusion of flame and lightning." "The Thunder-Flame Dragon!" "It's payback... times 100." "Natsu?" "you know." "It's not fair that I can't have something similar." "wouldn't you just be a Flying Lightning Cat?" "Lightning Cat?" "so totally cool!" "Next time:" "The Deepest Realm could never handle... my character's uniqueness is secure!" "so that's what you're worried about..." "Acnologia?" "Did Zeref really say that?" "I'm sorry." "I couldn't even move..." "It doesn't matter now." "If Zeref really said Acnologia..." "R-Retreat!" "retreat!" "The investigation of Tenroujima is over and done with!" "Previously on Fairy Tail:" "rattle..." "Kaboom!" "What the...?" "!" "Stop that!" "Since Laxus showed up and all..." "It fits the mood." "Can you cut that out since Lily is scared of thunder?" "I'm not scared of it!" "Crakabadaboom!" "I said stop that!" "It's in honor of Natsu turning into a Thunder-Flame Dragon." "Is this really all we can do?" "I know how important our mission is." "But I have a responsibility to protect my men." "I have no choice but to retreat." "That's not what I mean." "Just leaving them there?" "When there are lives that could possibly be saved?" "Don't be naive." "once." "But when you compare it to maintaining the order and justice of the entire Magical World..." "You call this justice?" "!" "We're just running away!" "Dranbalt?" "then... that's not it..." "I..." "The Deepest Realm!" "Slash!" "Runes!" "Your characters will be destroyed!" "You think I lazily wrote runes just to protect my friends?" "What?" "I also wrote runes like this as well." "And I did it so you wouldn't notice." "Slash!" "It looks like you don't know the character for "to learn"!" "Runes!" "Your characters will be..." "Your crappy roundabout runes seem infantile before my single characters and their countless meanings!" "Rumble" "That is quite hard on the ears..." "My runes?" "!" "Slash" "Rumble becomes resound!" "it means expanding!" "So he uses characters to strengthen the effects of his characters... but it has deep meaning." "you have not realized something." "The line that connects two points... the things called "words"..." "Roundabout..." "What have they been going on about?" "Theory vs. Theory." "That's what it looks like." "Isn't that arguing over pointless things?" "He's out!" "Baryon Formation!" "Egg Wall!" "Beautifully fried-peron!" "What the heck?" "!" "It's time to cook you next-peron!" "too." "We've got to join in..." "But the battle we just had used up all our magic power..." "That's true!" "We might be out of strength and magic power..." "But that's food right over there!" "Uh..." "Elf-niichan... isn't he?" "I'll pass." "Man!" "you!" "You've got to be... but..." "I'm all revved up!" "He ate lightning?" "The fusion of flame and lightning!" "The Thunder-Flame Dragon..." "It's the same as when he ate Etherion." "he followed up with a lightning attack!" "Amazing!" "Egg Buster!" "you...!" "Man!" "Defense" "Slash!" "Elfman." "You can barely stand!" "So what?" "Even if I don't have enough magic power for a full body Take-Over..." "As long as I have this arm... and made my older sister cry..." "This helpless arm couldn't even protect my partner!" "will put everything he's got into this arm as a Fairy Tail wizard and beat you!" "Well said!" "Three as one!" "You'll fill in for Ever's role!" "Man" stuff-pero!" "Meaningless words hold no power!" "Ecriture of Darkness!" "Pain!" "my babies!" "Why does it hurt so much-pero?" "!" "I won't let you!" "They did it!" "Wow... it's not over yet." "Your claws are dull!" "All you need is yourself!" "Pierce!" "Elfman..." "Man!" "Did I just see something?" "!" "Elf-niichan!" "S-Scary..." "Lucky we didn't draw him for the first test..." "Looks like we managed to protect everyone." "I'm totally drained..." "I think maybe now I'll rest a bit... damn you!" "You..." "Disappear!" "Now you can't use your hands!" "Roar of the Thunder-Flame Dragon!" "What is..." "Is that Natsu?" "Natsu..." "Stay alive." "We did... it..." "Natsu!" "P-Phew..." "I'm really outta magic power now." "it looks like he consumed it just as quickly." "right?" "Yes!" "Where in the world is the power source?" "it should be powered by a huge lacrima." "And why are we crawling through this passage?" "ask Happy." "Just a hunch." "A hunch?" "!" "Hey!" "Don't just stop all of a sudden." "Lily..." "What?" "didn't you?" "then that means you bumped..." "Like I could help it!" "It's your fault for stopping so suddenly!" "You just bumped into Carla's butt with a *pomf*... isn't that so?" "!" "Are you actually complaining about that?" "!" "Is this really the time?" "!" "It's very important to me!" "we're having a duel!" "Stop this!" "more importantly..." "What caught your attention?" "right." "What is this?" "It's alive?" "Such impressive youths... you bastard..." "You've raised some fearsome whippersnappers." "That's..." "How many decades has it been since someone has beaten me like this?" "You've gotta be kidding me! but I must honor you properly for showing me an enjoyable time." "that attack didn't work?" "!" "Devil's Eye..." "Open!" "special..." "The depths of magic..." "This is a realm which far surpasses even your imagination." "Impossible!" "I... can't believe this..." "I've never felt magic power like this before!" "It's still growing!" "Fairy Tail!" "Natsu!" "Damn it!" "I don't even have enough strength to move..." "This is..." "Doesn't look like a power source exactly..." "Grimoire Heart..." "Devil's Heart." "Don't tell me..." "I can hear voices inside!" "No way!" "How did they get in the room?" "We've been found!" "stop that thing!" "Stop it?" "Let's do it!" "What's with the tiny cat?" "I'll stomp him flat!" "Take this!" "You bastard!" "You've done it now!" "What is this guy?" "Don't back off!" "I'll borrow this." "M-My sword... sure..." "But how?" "Looks like all we can do is try fiddling with stuff." "A sword that can change size?" "the Buster Ma'am." "Protect it at all costs!" "it's this room!" "I like it!" "I will make this my weapon!" "Ah..." "My Musica Sword..." "That was expensive!" "{This is a Rave Master reference and the official spelling in english is "Musica"}" "come at me!" "We can't do anything like this!" "I hate pain!" "Bring it on!" "I'll turn you into fish food!" "I... feel like my mind is floating far away..." "The depths of magic..." "What indescribable magic power!" "get yourself together!" "Please!" "I can't move... the deeper you sink toward the depths of darkness." "glistening is the One Magic!" "Just a little farther..." "Just a little farther and I will reach the One Magic." "But that "just a little" is so very deep!" "the World of Great Magic is needed!" "A world with Zeref!" "the world will change with Zeref's awakening." "it will finally come into my hands..." "The One Magic!" "The One Magic?" "I know that I've heard this somewhere before..." "From Mom?" "You all cannot go to the World of Great Magic." "You lack the conviction to dive into the depths!" "What kind of pose is that?" "Nemesis!" "H-He made monsters from the rubble?" "! you can even create devils from lumps of earth!" "as heaven's judge..." "That is Hidden Magic!" "One after another..." "Every spell a bundle of magical despair!" "This can't be!" "I'm scared..." "I'm scared..." "I'm scared..." "I'm... shaking in fear..." "What am I afraid of?" "!" "Damn it..." "I'm scared!" "I can't... give us the courage!" "Natsu..." "What?" "I've got my friends this close by." "Fear is not evil..." "It tells you what your weakness is." "you can become stronger as well as kinder." "We know our weakness." "what'll we do next?" "We'll get stronger!" "We'll stand up and fight!" "Maybe we can't help being scared alone." "together." "We've got our friends close by!" "there's nothing to fear!" "Because we're not alone!" "Your vanity is praiseworthy." "as well." "As long as our friends are with us we have nothing to fear!" "Natsu." "Even if we don't have any magic power left we won't give up until the bitter end." "That's what it means to be Fairy Tail!" "Here we go!" "What can you do without any magic power left?" "Dirt Devils!" "Send everything to the pits of darkness!" "your sun has set!" "it's the last spurt!" "Yeah!" "I'll make 'em pay for picking a fight with Fairy Tail!" "right?" "Plan?" "I've got the same plan I always have!" "Don't tell me..." "CHARGE!" "that's what I figured..." "Next time:" "Dawn on Tenroujima" "I'm all fired up!" "get it?" "Way to kill the mood." "my bad." "We've got our friends close by!" "there's nothing to fear!" "Because we're not alone!" "Send everything to the pits of darkness!" "your sun has set!" "Dawn on Tenroujima!" "Natsu!" "I'm gonna fall!" "watch out!" "I-Impossible!" "The Hidden Magic didn't work?" "!" "Unfathomable!" "My magic is..." "They couldn't have...?" "!" "My heart!" "What?" "The earth devils are..." "They're disappearing!" "The secret to Master Hades's incredible magic power and longevity..." "It is a heart contained within the ship..." "The Devil's Heart..." "If that's destroyed..." "My magic power..." "W-What's this?" "Huh?" "Wendy?" "That's..." "Tenroujima..." "It's returning to normal!" "I've been given a new lease on life." "Huh?" "This is..." "Our marks are shining!" "Our magic power is returning..." "It's back!" "even I... have lost to Makarov?" "We win!" "Listen up! the devil will never sleep!" "Laxus!" "Do it!" "Fairy Tail!" "This might be the final attack!" "Let's blast him with all the magic power we got back!" "You'll face my wrath for all of this!" "but..." "I open thee!" "Capricorn!" "Lucy-sama." "Please!" "Of course." "You're..." "I am not Zoldy! Capricorn!" "I learned this from watching!" "Wing Slash of the Sky Dragon!" "Ice Magic Sword..." "Icebringer!" "Requip!" "Heaven's Wheel..." "Pentagram Sword!" "Grimoire Law!" "New Secret Dragon Slayer Art!" "I'm not going to make it!" "Crimson Exploding Lightning Edge!" "Gramps..." "We showed 'em." "We showed 'em the power of the guild putting everything on the line." "This is our Guild!" "It's over..." "Yeah." "didn't we?" "your scarf." "Thanks." "Everyone!" "Natsu!" "You guys..." "Are those...?" "This isn't good." "Curses..." "We really have zero magic power left." "but I am also out of magic power." "They're all angry!" "I don't really blame them." "That's far enough!" "Gramps!" "Everyone!" "too!" "I'm glad you're all safe!" "Yes." "so is its divine protection..." "There's more of them!" "Isn't that Makarov?" "And look over there!" "Master Hades..." "He's been defeated!" "Get off this island this instant!" "right away!" "There's the signal!" "Pardon all the fuss!" "Oh?" "Gray?" "Um..." "Where's Juvia?" "She never returned to the camp." "Is she safe?" "What happened to Zeref?" "coming back." "blockhead?" "!" "You think you can set foot on Tenroujima while you're still expelled?" "!" "old man... please calm down." "His face is huge!" "now..." "L-Laxus...!" "you're back?" "!" "Get off me." "Master sure is harsh..." "'Cause he's a Man." "Yes." "is it?" "Okay!" "Time to continue the exam!" "You're gonna do it now?" "The second test was interrupted so it don't count!" "So let's just do things nice and simple with a big battle!" "What's wrong with your head?" "!" "You think you can beat me when you're that busted up?" "Gajeel!" "it'll be a cinch!" "'Cause right now I'm a Thunder-Fla..." "H-Hey..." "Natsu?" "What kind of passing out is that?" "Looks like a side effect from eating something other than flames." "shall we return to the camp?" "We have to rest a bit or our bodies won't hold up." "You got a point there." "Let's head back!" "what?" "I'm going to carry Natsu?" "Don't worry!" "I'll be here to cheer you on!" "but you won't help? Lucy-sama." "Capricorn..." "T-Thank you!" "but is Natsu an afterthought?" "Mr. Cat..." "Are you a schoolmate of Lucy-sama?" "Aye!" "I am her elder role model!" "That is good to hear." "What's with them?" "Looks like they're getting along just fine." "I wonder if my father is safe?" "Juvia..." "Makarov..." "Finish me off." "I learned something very important from you." "I will overlook what you did this time." "Leave this island." "Such weakness... the next time I will surely crush your guild." "I lost to you." "But my children beat you." "and Tenroujima gave the youngsters power." "I would not have lost to your brats." "Why did you fall to darkness?" "once." "The true nature of magic is darkness." "Miracles that are born in the darkness have come to be called "magic"." "I wished to find the truth of this world by walking deep down the path of magic." "is a false world." "The World of Great Magic is the true magic world!" "I wanted to see that world." "I obtained all the keys I needed to resurrect Zeref." "Just a little more!" "I was so close!" "So close to reaching the One Magic!" "nothing will change." "so be it." "too." "Magic is alive!" "Its role changes with the times." "along with us." "Every person has their own version of what "magic" is..." "Each person thinks of it differently... or even blue..." "Fairy Tail lives together with freedom!" "I learned that all from you." "Natsu?" "Can't you sleep quietly?" "Why can't we just let him sleep?" "I just thought of something good!" "It's Twin-tail Natsu!" "Isn't he cute?" "Disgusting..." "So that thing we destroyed was Hades's heart?" "but we did good work. then the Exceed Squad accomplished our mission." "Yes." "sir!" "Lily?" "!" "Yes." "In far better shape than you." "Laxus!" "came back!" "I ain't really back." "Laxus is back!" "I'm tryin' to tell ya..." "Laxus!" "Would you punish him for me?" "You bastard!" "Oh?" "When did you two...?" "Hold it a sec!" "It's kind of hard to explain!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Lucy-sama..." "If you'll excuse meh..." "Capricorn." "I'll be counting on you!" "you." "Lucy-sama." "Which reminds me... nevermind." "tell me!" "Well... both for health and magic power reasons." "you seemed a little..." "Perhaps I could begin to regulate your diet?" "Cut down on all the meat and sweets... maybe you could hold back a bit!" "It doesn't hurt any more!" "Levy-san." "why don't you rest a bit more?" "No!" "I feel great now that the Tenrou Tree is back the way it was!" "But..." "How did the Tenrou Tree return to normal?" "Ultear... couldn't be." "You fiend!" "Everyone...!" "Juvia?" "You're safe?" "Juvia is so sorry!" "She let Zeref get away!" "please punish me!" "Hit Juvia as much as you want!" "I'm not into that!" "but Juvia is..." "W-Whoa... there's Gildarts..." "Yeah." "I'm sure he's fine." "Yeah..." "Father..." "M-Man!" "By the way..." "You went and got expelled?" "Lame!" "you old fart!" "Gildarts!" "Fight me!" "You should rest." "In one blow?" "hurry!" "that ain't my thing!" "Wendy..." "A little help?" "Comes in handy..." "A Man." "Lily." "You took more serious damage than I did." "Looks like there's a line." "It's okay!" "This is when I can be most helpful!" "Don't overdo it." "switch places." "that outfit..." "A nurse?" "You don't have any healing power!" "Wendy." "It's your heart that is tested." "Battle?" "Hey!" "Don't go scaring Wendy!" "Here she goes... tell me straight out..." "Where does it hurt?" "first?" "Or would you prefer an injection?" "look what's started..." "This is messed up." "damn it!" "you bastards!" "Males!" "H-Hey..." "Isn't it good to rest a bit?" "Right?" "I-Is it because my breasts are too small?" "Tying bandages is more difficult than you'd think!" "You tryin' to kill us?" "!" "Gray-sama..." "To think you'd prefer to be punished rather than punish others!" "Juvia is in shock!" "Gajeel!" "or does the battle with Grimoire Heart already seem far in the past?" "this always happens..." "That's just how Fairy Tail is!" "what shall we do about the exam?" "good question!" "Maybe it's best to head back to the guild and clear our heads!" "I never could have imagined we would lose..." "Can't believe it..." "Even though Zeref was right there before us..." "The World of Great Magic was so close!" "Who goes there?" "Who is it?" "Ones such as yourselves created me..." "Wicked minds such as yours summoned Acnologia..." "I am announcing the end of this age." "No one can stop it any longer." "here and now." "Zeref..." "I wonder how that blockhead's doing?" "Blockhead?" "the guy from the Tower of Heaven!" "his name was Wally... him!" "It's all coming back to me..." "Remember?" "He was all edgy and funny... true..." "But what's bringing all these memories back?" "Intuition." "Next time:" "The Right To Love." "Enough about the past..." "You should worry more about whether you passed the exam!" "well said!" "10 points!" "10 points out of what?" "brace yourselves and listen well!" "I have an extremely important announcement to make." "What?" "From the day after we return to the guild from Tenroujima..." "I'm gonna introduce a women's only dress code!" "You gotta choose between a nurse outfit or a school swimsuit!" "I ain't heard about this!" "I see." "Sounds like fun." "Don't encourage him!" "You're supposed to be mad about this!" "Master..." "This is no time for jokes." "I'm sorry!" "I was just caught up..." "Zeref..." "The Right to Love." "The Zeref... is standing before my eyes..." "Is this a dream?" "Or reality?" "The keys!" "Bring the keys!" "We..." "We can't move..." "There's no need." "I am awake. but how many lives did you take in order to get these "keys"?" "Such a tragedy." "Those "keys" were nothing more than illusions." "W-What?" "!" "Just one of the stories made by a sect of the believers in the Black Wizard Zeref..." "The Keys To Resurrect Zeref"." "Were you fooled by that dusty old fairy tale?" "I was never asleep in the first place." "The man you see before you is the Black Wizard Zeref." "You were never asleep?" "!" "I used my "eye" and saw you!" "not even able to defeat one of my servants!" "Then I can skip to the chase." "That was what I was capable of back then." "400 years ago I saw countless wars of man..." "Countless deaths..." "I learned the value of life. the more my accursed body steals people's souls." "I cannot forget the weight of a human life." "I sidelined myself." "You're saying you were fighting while valuing life?" "I can't use my magic anywhere close to how I'd wish to..." "But that all changes if I forget about the value of life." "You were the people who pulled the trigger." "Acnologia will herald the end of an era." "Your evil deeds have summoned it." "Acnologia?" "!" "What in the world are you talking about?" "You all shall be punished." "W-Wait!" "I still have things I want to ask!" "Your first sin is summoning Acnologia!" "And your second sin is making me forget the value of life!" "Repent." "Meldy..." "You don't seem very cheerful..." "It might be difficult right now..." "But let's forget everything." "and Zeref... dolphins!" "Ultear." "Ultear?" "My family..." "My friends..." "Ultear..." "That's right." "one day..." "I thought that I was on just the first lap of my life." "when I went to the World of Great Magic" "I would start the second lap." "I believed that I would redo everything that happened in the first lap... and stray so far from the path of humanity..." "The second lap would be my true life!" "Your true life!" "The two of us would be happy..." "It was all... for that." "I know." "It was all just "what I planned"." "I'm a devil." "I'm a fool of a woman with delusions of a happy life..." "I'm not... going to ask you to forgive me." "let me tell you that I'm sorry." "Yeah..." "You must hate me enough to kill me." "But there is no need for you to dirty your pretty hands any more." "I'll disappear from this world..." "Ultear!" "You will find happiness..." "I'm sure you'll be happy..." "Meldy..." "Ultear!" "The sea..." "Inside of my mother." "A fitting place to meet my end." "Meldy?" "Let's live." "A Sense Link?" "!" "Ultear!" "Ultear." "That isn't going to change!" "I forgive you!" "okay?" "!" "understand?" "!" "don't leave me alone!" "together!" "M-Master Hades is..." "D-D-D... trash." "Fall to the pits of hell." "It's here..." "Acnologia!" "What?" "!" "Like-I-said!" "The S Class Wizard Advancement Exam is on hold!" "Gramps!" "Why is it on hold?" "damn it!" "got it?" "!" "What else can I do?" "A lot's happened. and Grimoire Heart disrupted everything..." "I guess we have no choice." "damn it?" "!" "And you shouldn't be so worked up about it." "Argh!" "I so wanted to be S Class!" "Gray-sama!" "A Man has to know when to call it quits..." "I ain't giving' up!" "no matter what!" "right?" "Then I'll become S Class!" "I'm gonna be S Class!" "Natsu." "Guess I got no choice... special!" "Natsu." "Gramps?" "!" "Okay!" "I'm all fired up!" "Here I come!" "I give!" "What're you doing?" "I was wonderin' whether you were the real deal." "I am!" "How rude!" "I'll feel sorry for her." "Such insight..." "As expected from Laxus." "You should learn from him." "Y-You think?" "you think?" "Enough!" "I told you I'm the real Lisanna!" "okay!" "My bad!" "Carla." "Huh?" "What are you scared of?" "but he's not a bad guy deep down." "Erza-san!" "He's just a little awkward at times." "Right!" "I'm going to introduce myself!" "Oww... huh?" "It definitely works itself into these wounds... is your right arm okay?" "The right arm I borrowed Fairy Glitter with?" "Looks like my rental's up." "Yeah." "Lucy..." "I'm sorry." "About what?" "You know..." "When I left you behind and went to Mavis's grave..." "I..." "I'm not upset about it!" "I am." "I'll regret how I betrayed my friend for the rest of my life..." "You didn't really betray me or anything." "right? too." "You know? even though I didn't become an S Class wizard." "What's with the bored look?" "'Cause this is a total snore-fest." "You don't understand." "Fishing is a man's romantic adventure." "Yes!" "Everyone loves fish!" "I never said you could eat them!" "driving up..." "The feeling of being one with nature!" "A serious battle of eat or be eaten!" "is a man's playground!" "I hooked something!" "Natsu!" "pull!" "Gildarts!" "Hold on a sec!" "Natsu is finally awakening his manly spirit of romantic adventure!" "Cana said she's got something important to talk about!" "Happy..." "You guys come with me." "The fish!" "Everyone's food!" "What is it?" "you know?" "that's the first I've heard of it." "you're saying your dad was in Fairy Tail?" "Y-Yeah." "Cana!" "you two!" "Gildarts." "and I was never able to tell you." "W-Wait a second!" "You're..." "I know it's a lot to just accept..." "Whose kid are you?" "Sara?" "Naomi?" "Claire?" "Feena?" "Mary?" "Eliza?" "no..." "The hair color's off..." "Francoise..." "You old geezer!" "How many flings have you had?" "!" "I-I know!" "You're the spitting image of Sylvia!" "you're the same sex!" "you're making me angry!" "I can't believe that such a philandering loser is my old man!" "so now you know!" "Bye!" "W-Wait!" "That's all I wanted to say." "got it?" "I'm fine with things staying the way they are..." "You're Cornelia's child..." "I'm sure of it." "Let go of me." "Why did you keep quiet all this time?" "I couldn't bring myself to tell you." "And time just flew by..." "Cornelia is the only woman I ever loved." "She's the only one I married." "18 years ago." "I heard that she had passed away." "But to think she left a child..." "I didn't realize it was you." "It's okay." "I purposefully hid it from you." "Sorry about being so selfish." "I finally feel a weight has been lifted off my chest." "I had a daughter this close to me..." "Don't be like that..." "I'm not saying you should take responsibility for me or anything." "Let's just stay as we are." "just once..." "Father." "Cana!" "I'll never let you feel lonely again!" "Never again!" "when I go on a job... or out drinking... always!" "That could get a little annoying." "So..." "Please give me the right to love you!" "huh?" "maybe I'll go see him again." "We all stood there under the warm sun." "December 16th." "Tenroujima..." "Its destruction came so quickly..." "I've got something I'd like to talk with you about..." "What's up?" "Why're you so fidgety?" "I guess asking Natsu isn't going to help... there's always the slight chance a miracle could happen!" "What are you muttering to yourself about?" "I..." "If I'm going to hold Carla's ha..." "You and Carla?" "Quiet!" "Not so loud!" "Next time:" "Hold Hands!" "that?" "That's easy!" "make it or break it!" "I don't want anything broken is why I'm asking... then you've got the wrong guy." "X784." "Tenroujima." "What was that?" "Master... um..." "What about Laxus?" "I have nothin' to say to him!" "I see... setting foot on the guild's sacred ground without permission and while in exile..." "But that's..." "Yeah." "I heard about his battle with Hades." "Seems he saved your lives by shielding you." "I must acknowledge his efforts." "And I am grateful." "they were the actions of a person who's unaffiliated with the guild." "That's a harsh judgment." "sure..." "That's how he's protected the guild all these years." "I just lent a hand here." "I got no other purpose." "Laxus..." "Don't worry about me." "I was traveling in the area and only dropped by on a whim." "I never intended to stay long." "Old Man!" "There it is." "That face..." "I think I had to see that disapproving look one last time." "I'll be going..." "Laxus!" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "This feeling..." "I wonder what it is..." "This is a weird wind." "And it reeks..." "I know!" "Got just the thing!" "you can eat this." "Huh?" "!" "What'd you pull that out for?" "!" "Hold Hands!" "What is that?" "!" "Probably just Lucy's stomach..." "Huh?" "!" "This world's Lucy's stomach makes that kind of noise?" "!" "Gajeel!" "Try to speak with a little more delicacy!" "I'd better prepare a heaping helping for her meal." "Hey!" "I was just kiddin'!" "it was a strange rumbling sound." "What the...?" "Now I can hear heavy breathing!" "what are you sitting on?" "of course..." "When'd you get there?" "! so it's fitting she that become a chair for Gray-sama!" "I told you I'm not into that stuff!" "Wendy." "Thanks for your patience." "too." "You shouldn't be serving... that's okay." "I enjoy doing it." "That's my big sister!" "What a Man!" "Wrong!" "wench?" "!" "Man!" "Man!" "Just looking at you makes my blood boil!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "Don't even ask!" "you..." "After you got all weepy when we were trapped by that tower..." "One more word and I'm turning you to stone!" "You two really get along..." "Wrong!" "What is this?" "!" "A dragon's roar..." "Huh?" "A dragon?" "!" "It's not thunder?" "!" "Everyone!" "Are you okay?" "!" "That's some loud roar!" "You guys!" "Hey..." "Are you alright?" "An old wound's acting up on me..." "There's no doubt." "It's coming!" "everyone!" "Something's coming!" "what's wrong..." "Whoa!" "What is that?" "!" "It's huge!" "It's..." "Dragon!" "What in the world...?" "Seriously?" "!" "A real dragon..." "There are still dragons alive after all..." "The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse..." "Is this the one called Acnologia...?" "Yeah..." "That's the one." "Real dragons still exist..." "You!" "Do you know where Igneel is?" "!" "too?" "!" "Natsu!" "Don't provoke it!" "I know I told you how I got this arm... how my whole body got like this!" "take a look at this." "It basically all happened in a flash." "too... there's no doubt." "Plus..." "A human can't beat it." "It's coming down!" "That's not the kind of dragon Natsu and the others love!" "This is an evil one... you're right about that." "This bastard is humanity's enemy!" "Then are we gonna fight it?" "Natsu." "It's not about winning or losing with this one." "how are we gonna escape from it?" "which of us are gonna survive?" "You're sayin' this thing is gonna kill some of us?" "!" "run!" "Master!" "H-Hey..." "What the hell...?" "The whole forest is just... gone." "I don't believe it!" "How powerful is that thing?" "!" "What is this?" "It did this with its roar alone?" "What is that monster?" "!" "It's... is it admiring its work?" "!" "for now... right?" "!" "There's no time to be scared!" "We gotta get off this island right away!" "Gray-sama...?" "Here it comes!" "Get your asses to the boat!" "Run!" "We're all going home together!" "Fairy Tail!" "Wendy!" "I thought you could talk to dragons!" "Can't you do something?" "!" "It's not that only I can talk to them!" "All dragons have a high level of intelligence!" "What's it doing?" "!" "Bickslow!" "Fried!" "It cut us off?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Why are you doing this?" "!" "Answer me!" "Maybe it's not using words because it thinks of humans as nothing more than insects!" "Nobody would speak to vermin." "It's the same thing..." "And no one would bother using their full strength against vermin." "There are some things in this world you just can't fight against." "Elfman!" "Don't!" "Eva!" "Humankind is going to learn that now." "Eva?" "!" "I'm sorry!" "No!" "This can't be happening..." "It looks like another long journey is about to begin." "This age is over." "Goodbye Natsu." "Damn you!" "Gramps!" "Run to the ship!" "Ridiculous!" "There's no way he'll win!" "Master!" "Please stop!" "the guild would..." "Run!" "we should also..." "Don't you dare make light of Fairy Tail!" "We're gonna crush you!" "Yeah!" "Are you gonna ignore your master's orders even to the end?" "!" "You damn brats!" "The end...?" "I'm a dragon slayer!" "I'm gonna..." "Natsu!" "Laxus!" "What're you...?" "!" "Master!" "be safe!" "Good... you'll understand." "Tears are hollow." "Are you sad because someone's gonna die?" "Has sadness ever killed a person?" "The answers are deep in each of your hearts..." "My proud little brats!" "Live on into the future!" "You bastard!" "I don't know what you're after but you're not gettin' past me!" "'Cause my brats are behind me!" "For the first time..." "I acted like a parent." "I have no more regrets!" "Gimme back Gramps!" "Natsu!" "Erza?" "!" "You too?" "!" "I was against it... leaving a senile old fool behind?" "Bring it!" "Idiots!" "morons!" "All the power you have!" "I'll kick your ass!" "Combine your puny Fairy Tail powers with my lightning attack and let's knock this bastard for a loop!" "Laxus!" "Laxus-san?" "Laxus?" "!" "Natsu!" "Get outta the way!" "W-W-Wait a second!" "Laxus!" "Now!" "Hey!" "Raging Bolt!" "Heaven's Wheel!" "Blumenblatt!" "Super Freeze Arrow!" "Water Nebula!" "Solid Script Fire!" "now!" "Evil Explosion!" "Been a long time since the Raijinshuu fought together!" "Really let 'im have it!" "Damned monster!" "You took everything we got and you're still grinning'?" "!" "last chance to take him down!" "Natsu!" "that asshole!" "I'm gonna beat the crap outta him later!" "later..." "Roar of the Iron Dragon!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Did they do it?" "No." "Gildarts!" "It's not using the power that it did when it fought me." "It's just playing with us!" "Wha...?" "!" "It ascended again!" "Crap!" "It's as healthy as ever!" "Bastard..." "Even though we gave it all we had..." "And we had the power of three dragon slayers..." "Even with concentrating the entire guild's power together..." "Damn it!" "Some help Dragon Slayer Magic is!" "What does it intend to do?" "!" "Maybe it'll just go home..." "Don't let your guard down!" "Breath!" "Don't tell me it means to wipe out the whole island?" "!" "No way... no..." "Maybe it's just hopeless..." "Is it gonna end for all of us here?" "go full power!" "I don't have time to draw runes!" "There's plenty of other kinds of defensive magic you can do with letter based magic!" "Th-That's right." "That's our Levy!" "Everyone!" "Focus all your magic power on the Fried and Levy!" "Everyone hold hands!" "We're not gonna let it end here!" "Right!" "I refuse to give up!" "join your power together as one!" "Let's show this creature the bond of our guild!" "That's right!" "Let's all go home together!" "To Fairy Tail!" "Natsu?" "X784." "Tenroujima." "Acnologia annihilated the island." "Acnologia disappeared once more. but no survivors were to be found... seven years passed... what happened to us? and then..." "Do you think maybe we all died?" "Don't be an idiot!" "You think Fairy Tail could be killed off so easily?" "!" "then where is everyone?" "X791 let's just track everyone down and go home!" "to the guild." "E-E-Everyone..." "Port Hargeon." "Seven years have passed since Natsu and the rest disappeared without a trace from Tenroujima Island." "How long are you gonna stare at the sea?" "so let's get back to the guild." "Yeesh... your dad will worry." "This man is Fairy Tail's Alzack Connell." "This woman is Bisca Connell." "Romeo." "Yeah..." "And this boy is Romeo Conbolt." "but..." "Bisca..." "Natsu-nii..." "This is Magnolia." "It hasn't changed in the past seven years and is as thriving as ever." "And standing quietly on a hillside far from the the heart of the city..." "X791!" "Romeo isn't home yet?" "!" "I bet Al and Bisca ditched him and went off to snuggle!" "pipe down." "Macao." "Wakaba!" "my ass!" "You do realize you're supposed to be the master's advisor?" "!" "At any rate..." "Have we been losing members again?" "Max." "They don't give the good jobs to a minor guild like ours." "just look at how few jobs there are!" "It's got nothing to do with you." "Nab!" "Look at this!" "Visitar Ecor has completed his new dance!" "I call it the Puny Dance!" "so get him out of here!" "bring me another one of these!" "Sure!" "are you putting more stress on the ground these days?" "wench?" "!" "Don't take it out on Laki." "And don't you have any self-awareness?" "Look at Reedus!" "See how slim he's gotten?" "!" "Oui." "This is my true form." "I've been in training!" "Can't you tell from these muscles?" "!" "And see how ladylike Kinana has become!" "you're..." "Shut up!" "I'm trying to increase my magic power by eating!" "cut it out!" "Jeez." "What would Levy say if she could see you now?" "Levy's not coming home!" "Oui... well... this place is dead from the afternoon on..." "That's what I hate about pissant guilds!" "There's no spirit here!" "Teebo..." "I told you to stay away from here!" "hey." "Is that any way to talk to us..." "Twilight Ogre?" "but that era is over. one glance is all it takes to tell which is more useful to the development and progress of Magnolia." "Acting big just because you've got a huge guild..." "That's right!" "We've got soul!" "Soul doesn't put food on the plate." "Teebo?" "!" "This month's money!" "Macao?" "damn it!" "You people are late repaying your debt." "We didn't get any decent jobs this month!" "so just be patient!" "whoa." "Who was it that saved this beat-up tavern when it was on the brink of collapse?" "remember? we never would've turned to you... asswipe?" "!" "Jet!" "But... and I promise I'll pay!" "Macao!" "Master!" "All the way across the room!" "He did a first-rate job of flying' backwards!" "Bastards!" "How dare you?" "!" "You want a go at us?" "Don't do anything!" "You heard the man." "Suck it up!" "Pathetic!" "This is the legendary Fairy Tail?" "!" "Way lame!" "How about joinin' us?" "that was good for a laugh." "Let's go." "Right!" "Don't you forget." "Next month." "Master..." "Oui...?" "huh?" "That long?" "I'm feelin' nostalgic..." "Everything's changed since then. didn't we?" "But we didn't find even one of them..." "Acnologia vaporized the whole island." "but not a single clue was found." "Of course not..." "An abnormal concentration of Ethernano was recorded in the sea around Tenroujima that day." "let alone retain their structure..." "Acnologia's roar is that powerful?" "!" "that's the dragon said to have destroyed an entire country by itself long ago!" "There's no way humans can face an enemy like that and live..." "Why did our comrades have to..." "Our guild's weakened since they disappeared... a new guild has been established in Magnolia." "Maybe it's time to close up shop..." "Don't talk like that!" "Macao?" "I think..." "I think my heart is gonna break." "You've been doing a good job..." "Master." "Ever since then Romeo hasn't smiled once." "What is that?" "!" "What's this noise?" "Has Ogre come back to harass us some more?" "T-That's..." "Blue Pegasus'..." "Christina Ver. 2?" "!" "That's..." "I-I don't believe it..." "No good..." "No..." "A depressing parfum is no good..." "A youkai?" "!" "No!" "What is he doing here?" "He jumped!" "Twinkling!" "Men!" "He fell?" "!" "Sorry to have kept you waiting." "Your Ichya has arrived..." "This man is Blue Pegasus' Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki." "What are you... but maybe you should calm down a little." "I use Air Magic." "everybody." "Hi." "Hibiki!" "Ren!" "have you aged again?" "Eve!" "It's Blue Pegasus!" "They're so cool!" "What in the world are they here for?" "!" "you're as beautiful as ever." "You look too good in glasses." "Can I call you "Onee-chan"?" "Um... do it elsewhere!" "are you free tonight?" "T-That dress looks too good on you." "I've decided!" "I'm gonna be your little brother." "Um..." "What the hell did you come here for?" "!" "we're not here to have fun." "Pardon us!" "Ichiya!" "What are you..." "Men!" "I never forget the parfum of friendship of those I've fought alongside." "It was worth using Archive's information analysis and Christina's mobility to investigate Fiore's Ethernano level." "Tenroujima... still exists!" "Is it really in this area?" "We don't see anything. there's something about Ethernano in this part of the sea." "What is Ethernano in the first place?" "!" "Like I know!" "Something to do with magic molecules..." "How about telepathic communication?" "I'm not picking up anything." "Hey..." "Are you sure we shouldn't have brought Romeo along?" "Maybe we should have forced him to come." "There's no guarantee that everyone is still alive." "right?" "Getting him excited prematurely wouldn't be..." "Levy!" "We get to see Levy!" "The poster boys for getting excited prematurely... together again!" "but..." "You're annoying!" "We haven't had any contact for seven years." "too." "R-Right..." "Sorry..." "Huh?" "What is it?" "The wind's stopped... it is strangely quiet." "There aren't any birds..." "What's happening?" "What is that?" "A person?" "I don't believe it..." "She's over the ocean!" "Hey!" "Look closely at her!" "S-She's standing!" "Who is it?" "!" "Whoa!" "Al!" "That's..." "Y-Yeah..." "Tenroujima!" "It's Tenroujima!" "That girl!" "She went to Tenroujima!" "Follow her!" "Quick!" "you!" "Wait!" "Hey!" "I said!" "Who is that girl?" "!" "but she did show us where Tenroujima is!" "Maybe she'll lead us to everyone..." "G-Good point!" "Don't lose sight of her!" "Jet!" "On it!" "Strange..." "Where did the girl go?" "Jet!" "What is it?" "!" "Where's the girl?" "!" "What are you just standing there for?" "Natsu..." "Romeo..." "Are you sure you didn't wanna go?" "Even if they do find Tenroujima..." "who knows if everyone is still alive?" "Don't be like that!" "You need to have faith!" "We haven't heard from them in seven years." "well..." "Looks like there are even less people in here than usual." "what?" "A club?" "Teebo!" "We agreed that I'd pay you next month!" "My master doesn't agree with those terms." "He said payments have to be made when they're due." "Nothing I can do about it." "You can all go to hell." "don't!" "We don't have the money to pay you!" "you little brat." "Letting punks like you walk all over us..." "My dad and everyone else are cowards!" "I'm gonna fight!" "Fairy Tail's name will be disgraced!" "Romeo!" "That idiot!" "That name's been dragged through the mud long ago..." "No!" "You assholes will never make it back up to our level as long as you live!" "Who the hell...?" "!" "We're home!" "everyone!" "What is this tiny guild?" "!" "For real?" "!" "You're all so young!" "You haven't changed in seven years!" "What happened?" "!" "Um..." "Natsu!" "Wake up!" "Come on!" "you bastard!" "Shut up!" "Natsu!" "What the hell is goin' on?" "!" "What are you guys doin' here?" "And have you aged some?" "!" "You haven't changed a bit!" "you got fa..." "Huh?" "Is it morning already?" "Where's my fish?" "Happy!" "uh..." "Where's everyone else?" "!" "Over here." "Who...?" "My name is Mavis." "Mavis Vermilion. and converted it all to magic power." "one of the Three Great Fairy Magics." "It's Absolute Defense magic that protects the guild against all evil." "everyone was sealed away in a frozen state and it took seven years to be dispelled." "Of all things..." "The founder protected us..." "No." "I'm an astral body." "It was all I could do to transform everyone's power into magic." "Unwavering faith and a strong bond between you will even win a miracle over to your side." "3rd Master?" "And then she was gone..." "Romeo?" "Natsu-nii..." "Everyone..." "Seven years have passed since then?" "!" "You gotta be kiddin' me!" "it seems to be the truth." "Then we all aged seven years without knowing it?" "so our ages are still the same." "right?" "So what age should we say we are?" "!" "Next time:" "The Seven-Year Gap" ""I'm eternally young!" "too?" "!" "that'd be kind of a stretch." "X791." "Earthland. but never imagined I'd go through the same experience." "Cheers!" "I don't think I'll ever forget our homecoming at Fairy Tail that night. raising a clamor as if to bury the seven-year-gap." "Romeo?" "!" "The temperature in the guild is gonna rise up again!" "too!" "blue flames!" "What's this?" "like my dad." "too." "That reeks!" "That's impressive." "Looks like you've got more of a range than your old man..." "Where have I seen that magic before?" "Aye... but I've been going to Totomaru-sensei's magic class." "Is that what he's been up to?" "That's unusual." "He looks happy..." "That brings back memories!" "I never did get to eat all the colors of his flames!" "Alright!" "Maybe I'll go with you next time!" "you're a taboo subject." "I would think... you'd become the fourth Fairy Tail Master..." "What are you talking about?" "standing in for you." "You can have the position back right away." "so keep going for the time being." "Seriously?" "!" "Mavis." "Purehito." "Makarov." "Ma-ca-o... then I'll continue for a while..." "I've got this indescribable feeling of disappointment..." "Right?" "What?" "!" "Y-Y-You guys got married?" "!" "Six years ago." "Erza-san!" "I'm the one who proposed!" "You should've seen Al..." "We don't need to bring that up!" "C-Congratulations!" "I hope you'll think well of me!" "stop her!" "What's Erza talking about?" "She's mixing up their lives with hers." "That's wonderful!" "Do you have any children?" "One daughter." "Her name is Asuka." "this..." "Wendy." "My chest is..." "Hm?" "Did you say something?" "This... is disturbing." "Why am I wearing a loincloth?" "the Exceed..." "I wonder if they've been worrying about us these seven years..." "No." "Exceed have a different sense of time than humans." "Seven years probably hasn't seemed that long for them." "I see!" "I hope that's the case..." "I'm not going to get bigger there?" "Oui?" "Are you dissatisfied with my drawing?" "Kinana." "It's not like I've been holding out..." "Did you... remember anything about your past?" "nothing." "I don't know why... it's like someone whispers to me." "Let me hear your voice." "I wonder who it is..." "It's a very kind voice..." "like it knows me from long ago... welcome!" "it looks like the gang's all here." "Who the hell are they?" "Don't tell me..." "Love everyone!" "Are you all safe and sound?" "but still..." "Are you gonna go back to being a boisterous guild?" "You're..." "Lamia Scale!" "Pegasus and Lamia were both a big help in the search for Tenroujima." "really?" "I guess we're in their debt now..." "Don't worry about it." "but we've got more powerful members." "That's what you mean?" "! Lamia Scale has become the number two guild in Fiore." "Lucy-san." "Then Pegasus is number one?" "You really think that's possible?" "!" "How can you even suggest that?" "!" "Cool it." "No." "It's not Pegasus." "let's change the subject." "What's important is that everyone is safe." "I-Is this what they call love at first sight?" "!" "He came right out with it!" "this is gonna get really complicated!" "this means..." "Juvia..." "Pandemonium!" "She's got quite the imagination." "Gimme a break!" "By the way..." "I found out I'm Cana's dad!" "Cut it out!" "Don't get all clingy!" "I can't help it!" "I'm so happy!" "Do something about that goofball face!" "But first put me down!" "Couldn't they have dealt with this in a more dignified way?" "I guess they don't intend to keep it a secret..." "Ta-daaa!" "This is Asuka!" "She looks exactly like you two." "I see." "She reminds me of Wendy." "She's very cute." "Hey..." "Even Lily!" "Huh?" "What did I say?" "!" "It's as noisy as ever. seven long years have gone by." "lonely seven years..." "When I think about how everyone was waiting for us all this time it makes me sad." "The Seven-Year Gap!" "It feels like it's been forever since we've been back to the old house!" "Huh?" "Is that..." "Lucy-chan?" "L-Landlady..." "I heard you were back." "I'm glad you're safe." "But your rent is something else." "000 jewel!" "you're not setting foot in this house!" "000 jewel..." "I can't pay that... too..." "My savings..." "I chipped in to cover you when you were out." "And Fairy Hills deducted seven years' worth of rent..." "We're all in the same boat." "Seven years..." "That's longer than I can imagine." "Romeo-kun's gotten bigger... too." "Alzack and Bisca have a child!" "right?" "Father..." "That means I haven't been in touch with him for seven years." "He's probably worried about me..." "Maybe I'll go see Dad." "This may be the first time I've ever thought I wanted to see him!" "I-It's not to borrow money!" "too." "Erza-san..." "It's about Jellal." "Actually..." "Bisca... the gathering of the Ten Saints is drawing near." "I would like to inform you about a certain guild." "don't you?" "Have they done something?" "It's gone!" "It's gone!" "Natsu!" "Look harder!" "we're..." "Then he's still alive..." "Zeref..." "I'm never gonna ride in a carriage again!" "Never again!" "Natsu." "Jeez..." "Why are you two tagging along?" "We don't have any money!" "right?" "More like fishy get-rich-quick stories..." "And I won't even know if he knows that 'til I see him." "right?" "Our safe is missing!" "Our food expenses..." "What are we gonna do?" "!" "boy..." "Love  Lucky... excuse me..." "Yes?" "I'm looking for Jude Heartfilia... isn't he?" "Ah..." "Might you be Jude-san's daughter?" "Yes!" "What's wrong?" "Has he quit already?" "Is he not here?" "Um..." "It pains me... to have to tell you this..." "Jude-san passed away one month ago." "I'm truly sorry for your loss." "This is what seven blank years did to us." "Lucy..." "Happy." "My old man stinks to high heaven and he never shuts up!" "too!" "Why does he have to be so annoying?" "!" "right?" "!" "I wish he'd just hurry up and die already!" "right?" "!" "you wenches!" "Can't you sense the mood?" "!" "Huh?" "!" "Who the hell is he?" "How are we supposed to sense the mood of strangers?" "!" "Shut up!" "Get the hell outta here!" "Go!" "We were on our way anyway." "What's wrong with this guy?" "What a freak..." "Yeah totally..." "Don't." "I wasn't..." "Sorry for making you fuss over me..." "Lucy?" "Yeah." "I just wasn't prepared..." "to hear about my dad..." "Two months ago... that's not right." "Seven years have passed..." "The last time I saw my father was in Acalypha... even when I was kid." "That business with the Phantom Lord made it even worse... I had the feeling my relationship with my father could change." "It's just like him to lose his health from working too hard." "I don't understand it..." "I'm sad... and lonely..." "Yet the tears won't come..." "I guess I really didn't have feelings for..." "That's not true. but I don't think it's about whether you cry or not..." "Yeah." "Thanks." "but..." "I really am fine." "Twilight Ogre... there's nothing to discuss." "Pay us back the money we lent you and the slate will be wiped clean." "Banaboster." "we have a surprising lack of money." "one look at the account book shows that there's obviously something odd about income and expenditures." "Take heed." "Are you accusing' me of something?" "!" "Perish the thought!" "We'll pay back the money we borrowed along with legitimate interest eventually." "you old fart!" "Look..." "Let's start by recalculating the interest." "You beat up five of my guys!" "our debtors open up a can of whoop-ass on us you're makin' our guild lose face here!" "Huh? too?" "thanks to you!" "Pay back what you owe." "That's your guild's creed." "yes?" "Seven years... of property damage to our guild and violence towards our members..." "We're obliged to pay you back for all of that." "For seven years... you've made my brats suffer..." "It makes me cry just to think about it... boy." "It's a war you want?" "Wait..." "I thought the idea was to talk it out..." "Should've figured that wouldn't fly..." "Still and all..." "Lookin' at this makes me feel like those seven years never went by." "It's like the good old days." "Natsu!" "Happy!" "What are you doing here?" "Weren't you guys goin' to Acalypha with Lucy?" "Hey!" "Are you up for a scrap?" "!" "Don't!" "It'll only make matters worse!" "What was that?" "You got me..." "Papa!" "I'm home!" "Landlady..." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Somebody!" "Help me!" "My room... it isn't dusty at all..." "I've been cleaning it every week." "Although several outfits have gone to the moths..." "I took one for myself." "Look on the table." "They were sent here every year on the same day." "Happy birthday." "Papa" "He... remembered?" "One more was delivered this morning." "Happy birthday!" "Although I don't know when you'll read this note..." "Much time has passed since I heard that you and your friends had disappeared." "I have faith in you." "You remind me so much of Layla." "You were born with many blessings." "I'm sure you're safe." "I have faith that we'll be able to meet again." "it looks like I'll soon be finalizing important business negotiations in the west." "but each day is satisfying." "I think of you and Layla." "You're our pride and joy." "I want you to go down the route you strongly believe in." "And I want to see you again... as soon as I can." "Father..." "I always have and always will love you." "too!" "Whaaat?" "!" "How can it be?" "!" "Lucy turned into this?" "!" "How rude!" "I'm her landlady." "Of course you are..." "So... where is Lucy?" "Let her be right now." "But..." "We've got a job for her." "The letter that arrived this morning came with seven years' worth of rent." "Honestly..." "I suppose that's what you call a doting parent..." "What?" "!" "Then we're the only ones who don't have money for food?" "!" "There's no time to stand around and chat!" "We gotta get to work!" "sir!" "Lucy!" "We're goin' out on a job!" "We'll bring you back some Shirotsume dumplings!" "Losing seven years is huge... too!" "we're gonna live in this world!" "There's gonna be a dance?" "That sounds like fun!" "It's a social event for adults." "Natsu." "Why not?" "!" "right?" "!" "I'm gonna clean 'em out!" "Natsu." "so I'm looking forward to dancing elegantly with Carla." "You don't have the guts to even ask her!" "Next time:" "Magical Ball!" "That's absurd!" "Don't underestimate me!" "I've never seen that side of you before!" "Sure you have!" "I think you have!" "Work!" "Work!" "Let's see..." "Natsu!" "How about this one? 000 jewel!" "so that totally fits the bill!" "It's settled!" "It's not just up to you to decide!" "so why not?" "This Velveno is an escaped convict isn't he?" "000 jewel!" "He must've gotten valuable these past seven years..." "Who's the client?" "Um..." "It says Count Balsamico..." "That's a sour name!" "Like balsamic vinegar!" "Balsamico?" "I heard that Velveno guy is gonna show up at the Balsamico family's magical ball." "Magical ball?" "It's a ball that's held once every seven years and only wizards can attend." "I believe it's next Saturday." "Then let's go to the ball and capture Velveno!" "Yeah!" "I'm gettin' fired up!" "Let's head out!" "Yeah!" "Wait a sec!" "you'll have to practice dancing!" "Dance?" "!" "Magical Ball!" "We'll start with the basic steps." "hold my hands." "this is a pain in the ass..." "What are Natsu-nii and Lucy-nee trying to do?" "Social dancing!" "Social dancing?" "What's that?" "Ow!" "Sorry 'bout that!" "So it's a game where you step on each other's feet..." "I don't think that's the aim..." "Social dancing is where a man and woman pair up and dance at a ball." "Huh..." "That looks like a fun game!" "It's not a game!" "too!" "You just disqualified yourself!" "Gray-sama is going to dance flirtatiously behind Juvia's back...?" "too! leave it to me." "Erza!" "Requip!" "Natsu!" "Let's go!" "I'll pass." "No excuses!" "Dancing is all about fighting spirit!" "I'm gonna throw up!" "Anybody who dances with Erza always gets sick to their stomach." "You can see why she was called the "Dancing Demon"." "I guess I'll have to be the one who teaches Natsu how to dance." "I'm gonna take a little break..." "Natsu!" "Let your shoulders relax!" "I can't take any more!" "How can an adult be that delicate?" "!" "And you call yourself a Man?" "!" "you're up next!" "A Man... gets sick!" "Is this social dancing?" "It's lovely!" "Shall we dance?" "I'd love to." "Huh!" "Wendy's great at dancing!" "But why is she dancing with Warren?" "Shall we dance?" "If you insist... too!" "Sure!" "It looks like fun!" "young lady?" "Of course." "Yesss!" "Bastard!" "Taking advantage of this chaos is playin' dirty!" "Shut up and get outta the way!" "Dad..." "Hey!" "W-What?" "!" "I ain't gonna dance!" "nobody's asking you to!" "dance with me!" "What the hell?" "!" "I said it first!" "I was first!" "It was me!" "me!" "I guess I have no choice if you're gonna be like that about it..." "I didn't say anything..." "What the hell is that?" "!" "I'm the master!" "your dances are something else entirely!" "you're just in the way here!" "This has become a big fuss right under my nose..." "I lost my partner!" "You called?" "I sure didn't!" "Huh..." "You're really good at dancing. Lucy-sama." "Thus... yeah." "But I think this is a little overkill..." "That matters not." "Let's take it from the top once more." "home of the client." "We made it!" "huh?" "It was farther away than I thought." "That can't be helped." "We're doing it for the dance!" "You shouldn't have tagged along if you're only doing it to dance!" "May I ask who you people are?" "She's a real dish!" "There's no need to mentally shout that!" "Who are you?" "lord of this palace." "That's a name you'd probably bite your tongue saying!" "Warren!" "I'm Natsu of Fairy Tail!" "the Count." "I'll show you in." "please." "the client." "He's not only got a sour name... too!" "you two!" "it's a little more complicated than what I wrote in the request." "Let us hear the details." "my beautiful daughter..." "What was her name again?" "Tonguebite-san?" "Aceto!" "My apologies." "Please continue." "my daughter's husband will be decided at this evening's magical ball." "What?" "!" "Her husband?" "!" "I've got a ring that only comes out once every seven years." "It's a precious ring that the Balsamico family has handed down from generation to generation." "Then Velveno has his eye on the ring?" "but failed." "the husband selection process was ruined. wouldn't Velveno be easy to catch if he tried to sneak into the ball?" "He uses Transformation Magic and Magical Drain." "Magical Drain?" "What's that?" "It's a truly troublesome form of magic that lets him copy the magic powers of whatever wizard he touches for a short period of time." "Huh!" "That ain't too shabby!" "I want you to combine your powers and protect the ring from Velveno!" "Then capture the scoundrel and send him back to prison!" "We've got you covered!" "sir! you'll follow through with what was written on the request form... 000 jewel in cash." "Yesss!" "Cash!" "Right when I need it the most!" "Perfect-ebi." "What if I'm so cute that somebody proposes to me?" "!" "are you ready?" "Why are you in serious mode?" "!" "this is the minimum amount of decorum due when participating in a ball." "Do I look okay?" "you look super cute!" "But I'm a little embarrassed..." "Come on!" "The ball's curtain is going up!" "too!" "Erza is into this as much as she was acting that time!" "too!" "But first I have to cast Troia on Natsu." "anyone here seem like they could be Velveno? but there's no sign of him at the moment." "We'll let you know the second we spot a suspicious character!" "try to act naturally." "Where are Natsu and the rest?" "There they are!" "too." "Then why don't we blend in with the other guests and dance?" "Th-That's..." "Man!" "What are you nervous about?" "!" "is Velveno really going to show up at a glitzy place like this?" "All we can do is look for a suspicious guy without ruffling any feathers... baby!" "cut the rug with me!" "Some suspicious guy just invited Erza to dance!" "Check him out!" "Gotcha." "Fine." "Poor guy..." "I figured..." "That the guy?" "!" "more than usual!" "You don't have enough spirit!" "uh don't have to worry about her." "Shall we dance?" "Y-Yes!" "Now someone asked Lucy to dance!" "He's suspiciously good-looking!" "You should check him out." "So Lucy's next..." "Let's go!" "Since you won't take "no" for an answer we have no choice but to dance!" "What the hell's your problem?" "!" "We didn't ask you!" "Alright!" "I'll handle this..." "May I have this dance?" "Man!" "This is what a Man is!" "I'm so happy I was born a Man!" "It's fishy for a beautiful woman like that to go up to Elfman!" "she probably intends to drain Elfman's Beast Soul power!" "The woman who asked Elfman to dance is suspect!" "We're on our way!" "How dreamy!" "Elfman!" "Let Gray take over!" "Forget it!" "What?" "!" "the more fired up you become!" "And that is precisely... but I don't think Elfman cares about syntax}" "Time for a new partner." "You're a pretty nice-looking guy yourself." "right?" "What kind of magic can you use? it's proper for a gentleman to say what kind of magic he does first." "I have no interest in being a gentleman." "I'll show you mine first." "Ice Make Swan!" "She uses the same kind of Ice Make Magic that I use?" "it's my turn!" "Ice Make Kite!" "how about this?" "Ice Make Polar Bear!" "Ice Make Prison!" "I love when it gets intense like this!" "Ice Bazooka!" "Me too!" "Ice Cannon!" "If you'll excuse me... that's enough!" "as usual..." "Aceto-san has come out!" "no one dares ask you for a dance." "Your dazzling beauty is too Manly!" "Although I'm a woman..." "Excuse me." "May I have this dance?" "Why not?" "Ah!" "Why is Erza dancing?" "!" "Don't ask me!" "Um..." "Would you care to dance?" "S-Sure..." "Who the hell is that little kid?" "!" "He's way too young for her!" "Relax!" "The ball's over at midnight and it's nearly that time." "W-What the...?" "!" "It begins at last!" "What begins?" "The unveiling of the ring. releasing a device that displays the ring." "whatever man can obtain the ring from there has the right to propose to my daughter!" "The man who gets the ring...?" "What's going on?" "I'll investigate!" "I'll go with you!" "go for that ring!" "propose!" "What would you even do if you proposed?" "!" "The boy Wendy was dancing with!" "Are you alright?" "!" "A guy with an afro grabbed me right before I came in!" "Velveno!" "Then the person who's with Wendy is..." "Wendy!" "That guy is Velveno!" "Transformation Cancellation!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "taking the Balsamico ring!" "Velveno..." "You!" "Return that ring!" "This is finally getting interesting!" "I'm your opponent!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "Say what?" "!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Fire Dragon's Roar!" "too!" "Then your opponent is me." "Gray!" "Elfman!" "Keep Aceto-dono safe!" "Leave it to me!" "Man!" "Requip!" "Purgatory Armor!" "Requip!" "Purgatory Armor!" "It's no use!" "I've already copied the magic of every member of Fairy Tail here! just to see how far he can take it!" "boss." "I didn't come here tonight to brawl with you guys." "Wha...?" "but have waited patiently these seven years..." "Aceto." "Propose?" "! but I've always been madly in love with you!" "to be my daughter's playmate!" "Have you forgotten that debt?" "!" "I came back again and again you used the difference in our social positions as an excuse to turn me away at the gate!" "I never heard about that!" "daughter!" "I accepted your reasoning and gave up on Aceto. ended up in prison!" "What's he goin' on about?" "!" "Wait..." "I regretted not letting you know how I felt!" "so I could take this chance that only comes around once every seven years!" "And this is the second time for it!" "be my wife!" "How romantic..." "N-Nothing!" "O-Of course she refuses!" "Yes." "Yes?" "!" "Aceto!" "too!" "Really?" "!" "You'll really become my wife?" "!" "Except..." "You'll have to turn yourself in and pay for your crimes first." "I'll do it." "Wonderful!" "Hah?" "It's like a fairy tale!" "I'm moved!" "There you have it." "Yeah!" "That's being a Man!" "I don't know about this..." "Let's wish these two luck with a round of applause!" "I have to go." "I swear that I'll wait for you..." "Yeah." "And I swear I'll come back for you." "Um..." "About the reward..." "There's no way I'm gonna pay it!" "All right!" "I say we dance the rest of the night away to pray for Aceto-dono's happiness!" "Yeah!" "What a way for it to turn out..." "I hope someone proposes to me like that someday!" "Lucy..." "I... so I'm goin' home!" "is that right?" "don't be like that!" "Hang out a little longer with me!" "C-Cut it out!" "1-2-3!" "1-2-3!" "Stop stepping on my feet!" "The Troia ran out..." "L-Let me off!" "Natsu?" "That's why I warned against this!" "right?" "W-What's happening?" "It looks like the whole world is spinning!" "it's your eyes!" "Next time:" "The Truly Evil Jiggle Butt Gang!" "Oh!" "B-Butt..." "Huh?" "Your behind?" "What are you talking about?" "too! I can't take any more..." "I'm at my limit..." "Let me off..." "Natsu!" "What a pathetic man!" "You people... lay another Troia on the poor guy!" "Natsu will melt into nothingness before we reach our destination!" "then..." "Troia!" "Huh?" "It's not working!" "The Truly Evil Jiggle Butt Gang!" "I'm gonna die!" "Do something!" "Huh?" "That's strange!" "I'll try it once more!" "It's not really making a difference..." "Troia!" "Troia!" "Troia!" "It's not having any effect!" "Why not?" "!" "he feels better right away..." "A power shortage?" "It can only be one thing..." "With the spell cast on him every time he got on some form of transportation Natsu has built up a Troia resistance!" "A-A Troia resistance?" "!" "I don't believe it!" "Is that even possible?" "!" "It certainly is possible." "which is why it worked as long as it did." "Natsu." "You'll just have to rely on will power alone to get you through the next two hours." "My goodness..." "You people..." "Easy for you to say... their mission to safely escort a great deal of gold by freight to their client's connection." "heading due west across the continent. but Natsu and the rest had no way of knowing that a terrible evil was silently creeping towards them..." "Alright!" "You two better get fired up!" "sir!" "For we're the notorious robbers..." "The Jiggle Butt Gang!" "Lackey A!" "sir!" "Lackey B!" "sir!" "we're about to embark on" "Operation:" "Steal the Gold Cargo from the Freight Train and Good Riddance!" "Alright!" "Sneak!" "Sneak!" "Sneak!" "Sneak-sneak-sneak-sneak-sneak..." "Sneak!" "Okay." "That's the freight car!" "Just one more step to the treasure." "Our plan is flawless..." "W-W-W-Who the hell is he?" "!" "What's he doing in there?" "!" "What do we do?" "!" "Revise the plan?" "!" "Don't panic." "True evil doesn't revise its plans!" "true evil gets crafty!" "you scout out the freight car!" "Roger!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Pull yourself together!" "Skulk-butt..." "Slink-butt... you got motion sickness?" "!" "Sneak-butt... but I feel a little better now." "old man..." "That makes you a good guy in my book..." "A good guy?" "!" "who accepted this job even though they knew I'd get motion sickness..." "Job?" "What kind of job is that?" "We're escorting this freight." "eh?" "We can sneak a peek through here." "quietly..." "Open-butt..." "Wendy! it takes a long time for her to snap out of it. so maybe he shouldn't have signed on from the start." "but he seemed to have nothing else going on... that makes me a failure as a wizard." "That's taking it too far!" "Wizard?" "!" "laddy." "It's tough when things don't work out smoothly with your colleagues..." "Even more so when you're the leader!" "old man?" "!" "you gonna be okay?" "!" "Boss!" "W-What?" "!" "You scared the crap out of me!" "There are people inside!" "I know." "They're guarding the cargo." "It turns out they're wizards!" "They've all got this mark!" "eh?" "That's a bit of a nuisance." "I'm all out of stuff to throw up!" "Huh?" "There are more of you?" "These are my buddies!" "so they came to look after you!" "it's not in their nature to look the other way." "You're all good guys!" "laddy!" "Us good guys are behind you all the way!" "Natsu?" "Come on in." "I wonder if he feels better... so maybe it just took time for the magic to take effect." "what's wrong?" "!" "there!" "Pardon us!" "Um..." "M-May I ask who you are?" "Please excuse us..." "Hey!" "Only authorized people are allowed in here... we found this young man lying unconscious out there..." "Unconscious?" "!" "dear!" "This is more serious than I thought!" "for crying out loud..." "Natsu-san..." "Natsu!" "Wake up!" "What the...?" "!" "Don't move!" "Unless you don't care what happens to this girl?" "!" "you're so cool!" "Now that's true evil!" "True evil?" "!" "Don't tell me you guys are after this freight..." "Bingo!" "And we ain't afraid of any wizards!" "We're the truly evil... the Jiggle Butt Gang!" "Jiggle..." "What the heck is that...?" "Lame..." "And Natsu's totally out of it... shut up!" "you bastards!" "Alright!" "you three... what are you doing?" "!" "This is even lamer..." "I think I'm gonna throw up..." "Listen up!" "The Jiggle Butt Gang has commandeered this cargo!" "And I think we'll have all of you jump out of the train!" "Don't talk stupid!" "Like any of us would obey an order from villains like you!" "Are you in any position to talk like that?" "!" "Lucy-san..." "Wendy!" "I swear we'll save you!" "Your appearance isn't the only thing that's dirty!" "Time to make your choice!" "You gonna jump off the train or not?" "!" "Well?" "!" "Well?" "!" "well!" "Well!" "Secret Jiggle Butt Art!" "Gas-Butt..." "Triple..." "Ecstasy!" "Stinks!" "Everyone!" "My nose is wrinkling!" "The stink is permeating my clothes!" "and I'm falling!" "This is how we die?" "!" "You'd let yourself die like this?" "!" "you two!" "No good!" "I can't focus my strength with that odor lingering in my nose!" "Same here..." "Give me a break..." "We're falling!" "Huh?" "Where is everyone?" "Plue!" "Then you're safe!" "Natsu-san!" "Please wake up!" "Hello..." "Hello...?" "Huh?" "What is this thing?" "Plue is a Celestial Spirit." "Plue..." "He's strangely cute..." "It sends a shock to the raging heart of this evil robber..." "Um... get up!" "It stinks..." "Look!" "Look!" "This is a Celestial Spirit!" "Have you ever seen such a thing?" "!" "Celestial Spirit?" "!" "Cute..." "So soothing..." "Charming..." "E-Excuse me..." "Whoa!" "Our truly evil plans are getting off track!" "You need to get fired up again!" "23 push-ups!" "We have to do it?" "!" "That's kind of a half-assed number!" "just do it!" "1-2-3-4..." "I'm sure everyone's okay." "Now it's up to me to protect the gold!" "What do you intend to do next?" "That goes without saying." "We're just here for the gold." "little lady?" "too!" "You're still useful to us as hostages! what do you think's gonna happen to him?" "Boss..." "We're done with the push-ups... get to work!" "sir!" "An explosive?" "!" "Alright!" "Success!" "no!" "The cargo!" "Now the gold belongs to the Jiggle Butt Gang!" "So long!" "Prepare propulsive force!" "Wave two of Gas-Butt Triple Ecstasy!" "Fire!" "up there... you two!" "so... wizards?" "!" "Nothing is impossible for the Jiggle Butt Gang!" "won't it?" "Are you going to fire off a round of gas every time it does? so how are you going to carry the freight away?" "right?" "We've stopped!" "Boss?" "!" "Did you really think I hadn't planned for this?" "!" "there isn't anything we can't... do..." "So then..." "We're gonna rely on my leg muscles!" "Boss!" "Ow!" "Are you all right?" "!" "Do I look all right?" "!" "In that case..." "Miss..." "Healing Magic is my specialty." "I just hope it relieves at least a little of your pain... how do you feel?" "the pain disappearing!" "huh?" "little lady." "That's much better." "Thank goodness... too." "I would if I could. but I used it so much on him that it's stopped working altogether..." "I've got to become a higher-level wizard..." "Miss?" "really." "Everyone in Fairy Tail is really nice." "I'm happy that I joined the guild." "She's bravely holding back her tears!" "I don't really see you as being all that bad. but there's no worse insult than saying those words to the truly evil!" "when you're truly evil..." "Isn't it more important for you to figure out how to carry the cargo away?" "The girl has a good point." "How are we gonna carry the gold?" "assemble!" "sir!" "my butt's starting to sag..." "I have to be sharp here..." "What would Natsu-san and Lucy-san do at a time like this?" "That's it!" "everyone!" "What?" "!" "You scared me! I'll negotiate on your behalf with our client to try to get him to share a little bit with you." "You would do that?" "!" "I want you to make a promise." "That you'll never do something bad like this again..." "That's kind of a tall order... then give up on the gold." "Don't be like that!" "I'll get this freight car moving." "You're able to do that?" "!" "Yes!" "Seeing your gas propulsion method gave me an idea." "You're gonna do Gas-Butt Ecstasy?" "!" "No!" "young lady." "assemble!" "we'll just pretend to cooperate with her." "The truly evil can't be satisfied with just a smidgen of gold! we'll take it all!" "Boss!" "huh?" "would you get this train going?" "How's she gonna do it without using Gas-Butt?" "she's a wizard with a guild mark." "She can probably let loose with powerful magic..." "Show us what you've got." "here I go!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "Incredible!" "What is this?" "!" "That magic..." "It's Wendy's!" "hurry!" "sir!" "How's this?" "I think we'll be able to make up for lost time in one shot." "do you happen to be..." "one of them Dragon Slayers?" "actually..." "Please let us call you "Lady Boss"!" "It's the first time we've ever met someone with this much power!" "let us call you our goddess!" "And then I'd like you to wear the Jiggle Butt Gang uniform!" "we'll follow you anywhere!" "Ehhhhh!" "assemble!" "Are you serious about making her our goddess?" "!" "I'm as serious as serious can get..." "As if! the best thing for us to do is get her on our side!" "We'll use this golden opportunity to gain a strong ally!" "Boss!" "What should I do?" "I guess I have no choice but pretend to be on their side for now..." "I have to do my best here!" "I'm the only one who can protect the gold!" "our plan is gonna be to..." "Excuse me..." "C-Cute..." "Wonderful!" "This is my finest moment of being with the Jiggle Butt Gang!" "Then you've agreed to become our goddess?" "!" "Yes... we start with this pose!" "We're the notorious robbers..." "The Jiggle Butt Gang!" "The train's stopped!" "Goddess!" "If you would..." "Certainly!" "Roar of the..." "Hold it!" "What?" "!" "Natsu-san is in there!" "Okay..." "What kind of cosplay is that?" "Wendy..." "What's the story with that outfit?" "uh..." "Natsu!" "Wake up!" "Are you up?" "Are you alright now?" "Has the train stopped?" "I think Wendy's in trouble!" "What?" "!" "You fiends!" "What have you done to Wendy?" "!" "I'll bite through your windpipes!" "goddess!" "There's no resisting this." "assemble!" "She's consorting with them..." "Why are they listening to Wendy?" "And what do they mean by "goddess"?" "Give up on being truly evil and turn over a new leaf." "Why don't you study to become wizards?" "Fairy Tail offers a correspondence course." "How about sending away for the materials?" "Goddess..." "You're thinking about our welfare that much?" "we never thought about our future before!" "Lady Boss!" "You really are the best!" "What happened...?" "She ends up soothing even the worst of evil criminals..." "It's Wendy's style to go that far." "Her style?" "you three!" "Natsu!" "I told him everything!" "right?" "Happy!" "yeah?" "You dared deceive me!" "Fire!" "Iron Fist... wait!" "I'm in the middle of convincing them!" "...of the Fire Dragon!" "Look at them fly..." "I don't think they're really that bad..." "Why did you make me wait so long?" "!" "Our apologies!" "We had a little trouble along the way..." "I can't do this anymore... huh?" "you'll be paid half the agreed-upon fee!" "That's pretty harsh..." "Wendy!" "Now's the time to work your magic!" "Go and sooth this guy's heart!" "I'll never forgive that Gas-Butt Brigade!" "The Jiggle Butt Gang never gives up!" "We're gonna keep going full speed ahead 'til we master true evil!" "Oh!" "That was so inspiring!" "I'll follow you anywhere!" "Let's go!" "Gas-Butt Triple Ecstasy!" "and straight on to true evil!" "Straight on!" "We'll be back!" "It's Evil Lord Happy!" "Take this!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Salamander?" "!" "I'm over here!" "Damn!" "It's against the rules to turn invisible!" "Face me fair and square!" "You're looking the wrong way!" "Next time:" "The Terror of Invisible Lucy!" "Happy." "too!" "That's a really sad reason..." "Never before in all the world had such a mysterious phantom manifested... they all felt a chill run down their spines... serial jewelry thief!" "Villain!" "Surrender!" "Fools!" "You really believe you can capture me?" "!" "Monster!" "An invisible person!" "be shocked!" "And cringe in fear!" "This is my true form!" "Was there ever anything more fearsome in this world this infinite nothingness?" "it was like glimpsing a rip in the fabric of the world." "shaken to their very souls she said." "Huh..." "So this is the kind of story Lucy writes... hey!" "I never said you could read it!" "Lucy." "huh?" "so..." "Everybody's thought at least once about what would happen right?" "And I had a feeling I could write an interesting story about it..." "Fools!" "You really believe you can capture me?" "!" "be shocked!" "And cringe in fear!" "This is my true form!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "What did you two come here for?" "!" "then get out!" "We're here to invite you out on a job!" "you're gonna be flat broke." "I'm busy right now!" "I'm sure you two can handle whatever the job is." "remember?" "Aye!" "it's gotta include you." "Natsu..." "I'm starving!" "Do you have anything to eat around here?" "You know..." "This isn't a restaurant!" "The Terror of Invisible Lucy!" "I lost all my concentration!" "Think I'll clear my head with a bath..." "Magic ointment...?" "didn't I?" "it'll almost be translucent." "maybe I'll put some on..." "An invisible person..." "I wonder what I could do if that really happened to me." "Surprise everyone..." "And maybe it would be useful for work..." "What a dreamer!" "Feel a little dizzy..." "Huh?" "What?" "What's this?" "!" "I've really become invisible!" "I see..." "I made this ointment seven years ago." "Maybe is got so old that the effect has changed!" "I can't just stay like this!" "I need Natsu and the rest to help me!" "it'll cause a panic!" "Huh?" "but... so I'd better be careful or they'll bump into me..." "I know." "I'll stay off to the side." "I'm naked." "If the ointment wears off will happen. even if I do this weird pose..." "Or this pose... or this pose..." "Nobody can see it!" "but fun!" "Though I feel like an idiot getting excited all by myself..." "Hey..." "Cut it out!" "Shoo!" "What's wrong?" "There's nothing there." "Whose voice is that?" "That was close." "I'd better get to Fairy Tail and fast..." "What is that?" "Something's here!" "Weird!" "You're right!" "I feel something!" "It's soft and warm!" "It feels like a person!" "no..." "Th-That tickles!" "Knock it off!" "Don't touch me!" "It ran away!" "Come back here!" "It's an invisible ghost!" "Let's catch it!" "Gimme a break!" "What a revolting development!" "I know!" "I'll hide in here!" "Come back!" "Safe..." "F-Finally made it..." "Natsu!" "so Lucy-nee literally booted you out?" "even though I was there to invite her out on a job!" "It's only natural she'd be angry." "I hear you two sometimes even use her bath without asking." "That's a flagrant breach of manners." "I agree." "a line needs to be drawn." "come over here and I'll feed you." "I'm sure this goes right over your heads." "But I think she could've been a little nicer to us!" "That kind of behavior is the reason she'll never be able to snag a boyfriend!" "He's got her number!" "I bet he'd run away first chance he had." "but she's a barbarian on the inside." "Mm." "Only a Man who was truly wild could be a match for her. {"savage" or "rough" better?" "}" "Lucy should learn a little from Team Shadow Gear's Levy!" "She should act more like a lady!" "but still..." "So I'm the butt of their jokes when they think I'm not here..." "Bastard!" "What the hell'd you do that for?" "!" "Hah?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "!" "Don't play dumb!" "You just doused me with a mug of booze!" "Don't go making weird accusations!" "then who did it?" "!" "How do I know?" "!" "Ow!" "What was that for?" "!" "You're the one that started it!" "What have we here?" "!" "A fight?" "!" "What's going on all of a sudden?" "Something about getting splashed with booze... take it elsewhere!" "Just when I was getting into it..." "What the hell are you doin'?" "!" "Asshole!" "You lookin' for a fight?" "!" "Don't bug me when I'm eatin'!" "Hah?" "!" "I don't know what the hell you're talking about!" "What the hell?" "!" "Move it!" "We're tryin' to have a fight here!" "Seven years have passed and you still haven't picked a job?" "!" "I'm looking for the job that only I can do!" "What's going on?" "!" "calm down!" "What started this?" "!" "Leave them be." "This is no different than usual." "they'll destroy the guild hall!" "We can always fix it later." "Not getting upset by every little thing is the mark of an adult." "this bunch hasn't matured at all." "they've become even more boisterous these past seven years..." "Morons..." "You've taken it too far!" "Even Erza-san joined in!" "I figured she would..." "It looks like Erza hasn't matured any either." "It's become a regular riot!" "Ouch!" "too... is that you?" "!" "Don't touch me there!" "he says?" "Lucy's here?" "I could hear her voice..." "But I can't see her!" "where are you?" "The cat's out of the bag!" "I see." "So that's what happened..." "What a weird sight..." "S-Stop staring at me like that." "I'm getting embarrassed." "Creepy!" "Who's creepy?" "!" "This is a real pickle... but..." "You can't change back to normal?" "No..." "I came here because I thought you guys could do something..." "I don't see what the problem is." "so let's go out on a job with you like that!" "I can't go like this!" "Doesn't anyone know of a way to cancel out invisibility magic?" "!" "Easier said than done..." "Hmmm..." "Okay!" "I have a good idea!" "What?" "!" "Toasting you with flames will probably fix it!" "Y-You have grounds to believe that?" "he did the same thing to me." "I guess that's the only way to go." "you'll do it without hesitation." "I'm a girl!" "Lucy!" "Natsu-nii!" "Wait!" "I'm not mentally prepared yet!" "Ready... go!" "Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot!" "looks like it didn't work..." "Of course it didn't!" "Lu-chan." "I'm sure we'll find a way..." "Oui." "I believe a time like this is made for me to step up." "Reedus!" "Do you have some kind of plan?" "Leave it to me..." "All I have to do is paint Lucy's face!" "Th-That looks like her and doesn't look like her at the same time... she's beautiful!" "I kind of have mixed feelings..." "Hmm..." "Then what if I add this?" "!" "I hate!" "I can paint better than that!" "Don't!" "Finished!" "Looks just like you!" "I'm not a cat!" "and like this!" "her eyes are more like this!" "H-Hey..." "Mmm... mmm"?" "!" "Aren't her nose and mouth like this?" "there's more of an impact if we go like this." "You guys suck." "Let me give it a whack!" "leave it to me." "I used to take drawing class when I was a kid." "like so!" "It's important to have distinct characteristics." "so we should make her cuter!" "She needs sparkling eyes!" "how about black hair?" "It may look good on her!" "I'd rather try out a different hairstyle." "Like very short or with dreads... don't you think?" "too!" "My face isn't a toy!" "she's a Man!" "Why'd you make me like this?" "!" "This is a pain!" "Leave everything to me!" "that looks just like her!" "right?" "!" "Creepy!" "Don't be rude!" "Hey..." "What's this?" "A photo from when they did an article on us that time... okay?" "but..." "Y-You think so...?" "I'm back!" "Where did you two go?" "Lucy's room." "We picked up the bottle of ointment and her Celestial Keys." "I see!" "I can ask my Celestial Spirits for help!" "Wendy and Carla!" "But which Spirit should I summon?" "I don't think I could count on Loke or Aquarius at a time like this... call out Gemini." "Gemini?" "Why?" "They can transform into you." "Just try it!" "I open thee!" "Gemini!" "Long time no see!" "Gemini here!" "it's Lucy!" "Looks exactly like Lucy!" "That's Gemini for you!" "So..." "let's do this!" "please be my friend!" "We can keep this up forever!" "I get it!" "Nice idea!" "This doesn't solve anything!" "that's the spitting image of her..." "Uh-huh!" "I transform into an exact duplicate." "I can even copy memories and abilities!" "why don't we just say this is the real thing from now on?" "the looks and powers are the same... this one seems more mild-mannered and easier to get along with..." "Enough!" "Kidding!" "Only kidding!" "what are you doing?" "Analyzing the formulation of the recipe... there may be Runes that can cancel it out." "I've got it analyzed." "these are the ointment's ingredients." "Leave the rest to me!" "The effects of a magical ointment will be dispelled for whoever is in these Runes!" "can you see anything?" "N-No..." "Does that really work?" "!" "It does." "the ointment was sitting for seven years..." "So it'll take seven years to be dispelled." "I can't wait that long!" "Lu-chan..." "Lucy?" "I'm crying!" "Because this is hopeless!" "but now the clothes are becoming invisible?" "Your whole existence is starting to disappear!" "Levy?" "! but she's actually starting to vanish!" "it will be as if she never existed." "The bottle disappeared?" "!" "too!" "I bet her room is empty by now!" "I-I don't want this to happen!" "I don't want it so I never existed!" "I'm right here!" "If I do this..." "What was I just saying...?" "I don't know..." "Probably about work..." "I think I was painting something... but what was it?" "I feel like someone was standing right here just a second ago... isn't it?" "like something is missing..." "Me too..." "Is it just our imaginations?" "Natsu?" "Mmm..." "I dunno!" "I'm right here!" "have you forgotten about me?" "!" "well." "Let's get to work." "sit down." "I'm not done painting you." "Um..." "What kind of job would I be able to do?" "Fine." "Natsu!" "I'm here!" "Gray!" "Can't you hear me?" "!" "Erza!" "Happy!" "Wendy!" "Carla!" "Everyone!" "It's no use." "None of them can hear me..." "Everyone's forgotten me..." "Because I never existed..." "Then it's just like I'm a ghost!" "I don't wanna be a ghost!" "Alright!" "What do you say we go to work?" "!" "Happy!" "Lucy!" "Let's go!" "sir!" "Lucy...?" "Lucy..." "That's right!" "Lucy!" "Our friend!" "Our teammate!" "Lucy!" "Lucy was here!" "I remember!" "Lucy-san!" "Natsu..." "Everyone!" "The magic was dispelled!" "Maybe the effect of the ointment was nullified when Natsu remembered her!" "could be." "magic takes heart. nothin' can break the bond of the guild!" "but the three of you didn't do a thing to help." "Natsu!" "Lucy!" "Aye! but it was way too lonely when my friends didn't notice I was there." "but they're all my dear friends." "I wanna get rid of this quick." "Lucy!" "Natsu!" "Hey!" "What is this?" "!" "Where'd my face go?" "!" "Who are you?" "!" "It's me!" "Who the hell are you?" "!" "Maybe I do wish everyone was a little more level-headed... have you seen Elfman?" "He went out on an errand for Mira." "too..." "Hah?" "Why? I'd get the right to have one more fish than him!" "Next time:" "Father's Memento." "Is that how you see those two?" "Isn't it like that?" "Happy..." "It is near..." "It is near!" "and then chaos descends!" "That dream again?" "Time is etched... and then chaos descends?" "what about a grave?" "About Lisanna's grave in the cathedral..." "What should we do about it?" "Are you gonna destroy it?" "I dunno about that..." "The church said we could do what we want with it." "I remember now..." "We're the ones who made it." "Do you have to bring that up now?" "I suppose it'd be nice to leave as a memento." "or something." "but isn't it about time?" "For what?" "paying respect to the archbishop or somethin'." "I know!" "right?" "This archbishop person only comes out in front of people once every few years." "even from far off countries." "Natsu?" "Can it already!" "Is that the truth?" "the Akaza district church erupted in a fiery explosion." "There have been more than 30 cases now." "And yet we still have no clue who is behind it." "We've analyzed a number of the destroyed churches..." "Many other countries are watching us carefully at this time." "We must discover who is responsible and arrest them in all haste." "The good name of the Enforcement Corps will be tarnished at this rate." "that will take the blame." "Make every effort." "sir." "Father's Memento." "How awful..." "Again?" "Some kind of trouble?" "It's a string of church bombings!" "Sounds quite dangerous to me." "I know him!" "We met him during that Nirvana business..." "Hasn't changed a bit in seven years..." "Natsu-nii?" "so he's taking a nap." "Strange that serial bombings like this just pop up... so... my prediction powers don't seem to be working right." "inconclusive things." "Really?" "really." "What smell is this?" "Look who's awake." "you've got a visitor!" "Lucy-nee's the one over there." "Thank you so much." "Who is she?" "Um..." "You are Lucy Heartfilia?" "that's me..." "And you are...?" "Who... am I?" "Michelle Lobster!" "And?" "!" "Someone you know?" "Don't go making her cry off the bat." "so I suppose it's no surprise you don't remember." "Would you like a tissue?" "What a beauty..." "Who is she?" "I really don't..." "Let me start over." "I am Michelle Lobster." "Lucy-neesan!" "N-Neesan?" "!" "The shocking truth!" "Lucy's old man had an illegitimate daughter!" "no..." "The Lobster family and the Heartfilia family are distantly related." "so you're Lucy's relative." "I see now." "why call her "neesan"?" "Guess that's what they mean when they say "a world of difference"... then?" "How'd you draw that conclusion?" "!" "sheesh." "why are you addressing me like I'm older?" "Because you are." "Wait..." "You clearly look older than I am." "But... are you following what they're saying?" "that Time Ark thing?" "No... right?" "it's not strange for Michelle to call her "neesan" as if she's an older relative." "Natsu seems to be refusing to think about it." "my..." "I finally..." "I finally am able to meet you!" "what's that case?" "It's..." "I've come to give this... to you..." "I've been searching for you forever in order to give it to you!" "Stop makin' her cry!" "And you call yourself a Man?" "!" "I call myself a girl!" "this thing is heavy." "What's with her?" "Looks like we got proof she's related to Lucy..." "Just as noisy... what is it?" "Jude Heartfilia." "I helped Uncle Jude for a little while with his work." "And I was there when he passed away..." "He asked me to pass this along to you." "Father's..." "last request?" "He was always worried about you after you went missing." "and asked me to find you." "as if going to sleep." "I've been searching for you." "I've finally met you!" "I can fulfill Uncle Jude's dying wish!" "What's inside?" "I don't know." "so..." "Father..." "Open 'er up!" "Why don't you see what's inside?" "remember." "Why don't you let her see this thing she took all this trouble to deliver?" "Sure." "Um..." "What the heck?" "This wrapping..." "I think it's got a spell on it." "That must be what I smelled earlier." "Carla?" "Is something the matter?" "No..." "Never mind..." "What is this?" "Is it something that Uncle Jude valued?" "Dunno..." "I don't recall ever seeing it before." "Gotta be a weapon!" "I don't think so." "I remember now!" "it is a weapon?" "No." "what is it?" "I haven't eaten anything in the past three days." "Your guild seems like a fun place." "My father really is forgetful sometimes." "I can't believe he forgot to tell you about Fairy Tail!" "I found you were in the guild right away." "right." "But we'd all disappeared." "Nee-sama?" "I really like this job!" "that's dangerous!" "too!" "a lot of them lack any delicacy... and if anything happens they band together and fight!" "And they value their friends above all else." "Uncle Jude was really proud of you." "Michelle." "Ta-da!" "This is my castle now!" "It's thanks to my father that I've been able to live here." "I'll make some tea." "If it's not any trouble..." "No trouble at all!" "I'm overjoyed." "seven years flew by before I realized it..." "And my father..." "Who would have thought I'd have a relative?" "kind of..." "I..." "I didn't mean to..." "What happens to Iris after this?" "!" "That's what the tears are about?" "don't read that without permission!" "you write novels?" "Eat or talk:" "Pick one." "what is this thing?" "I couldn't find any information on it." "That's so cool." "I envy you." "You've got a dream for your future." "You're already a wizard..." "What a fulfilling life." "You think?" "Yes!" "I don't have any dreams." "what are you going to do now?" "then?" "You can stay here." "are you sure I won't be in the way?" "Not at all!" "I welcome you with open arms!" "Then I'll look for a job here in Magnolia and we can share the rent!" "need a tissue?" "why not work at Fairy Tail?" "work at Fairy Tail?" "Michelle Lobster came to deliver a memento to me from my father." "Cheers!" "younger sister that suddenly showed up." "cooking... and really makes my life easier." "but she seems somehow helpless." "Although there's a lot of things about her you'd mistake at first glance." "Something just makes you want to protect her." "I've got to up my game." "I wonder if Father got her to come to me so I wouldn't be lonely?" "Lucy!" ...he says!" "you came today?" "She's taken a real liking to me." "mustache!" "hey!" "Natsu's looking for you." "Time to round up some bandits." "Bandits?" "Lucy!" "Time's a wastin'!" "I would like to come see this job!" "No way!" "It's dangerous!" "I would like to see what it's like being a wizard..." "It's a blast!" "Especially the part about never knowing what'll happen with this team." "Me?" "I don't mind." "what will the Master say?" "Master?" "V!" "V-V!" "You heard the man." "what say you?" "I'll let you go." "either." "Everything is an experience." "And you get the most out of things that other people say you're not ready for." "Lucy?" "Now that you mention it... why don't you come along?" "Yay!" "I'll protect you!" "Alrighty!" "This'll be the "Bandit Hunt in Honor of Lucy Getting a Little Sister"!" "I'm all fired up!" "the victims now all suffer from nightmares." "Sounds like they had a real number done on 'em. it says." "I knew this sounded dangerous... is anyone else hungry?" "thanks." "It's amazing that you're more reliable than the kingdom's soldiers!" "I suppose." "I borrowed it from the client!" "Your driving is nuts!" "Here's the plan. to provide the illusion of two women traveling." "will hide themselves in the back." "Natsu and Gray will clean up the guys in the back." "we'll attack on both sides and..." "Hold it a sec!" "I can't go riding in no carriage!" "Oho?" "You have an objection to my plan?" "Some nerve you've got." "I'm not budging from this position!" "What's the matter?" "He can't handle transportation." "That's an odd weakness." "Figure it out yet?" "Put your clothes back on!" "I can handle the reins." "you know." "It's dangerous." "right?" "too!" "What'll we do?" "my..." "More customers?" "Quite a large haul today." "this is the compromise..." "Quiet already." "anyway." "then!" "No thanks!" "You tell her." "Figured you'd say that." "Here they are." "okay?" "step one!" "Right!" "fellas!" "All set?" "Sure." "again?" "totally lost!" "success!" "how indecent!" "This girl is just..." "I can't believe this!" "My skin is just as shiny as yours!" "Same for me!" "let's get the cargo." "This wasn't in the plan!" "Maybe they've got cosmetic supplies!" "I want sweets!" "but we're the cargo!" "It's a man!" "He's cute!" "Fools!" "How dare you make a mockery of my plan I stayed up all night thinking of!" "I'll arrest you all at once!" "criminal scum!" "Stayed up all night?" "Sheesh..." "You're wizards?" "!" "You tricked us!" "either." "This is unforgivable." "Onee-sama!" "How dare you defile we pure maidens with your filthy deceit!" "How dare you look down on us just because you were born a woman!" "so cute!" "I see now..." "I guess this is what people were having nightmares of." "It's time for your punishment!" "Lucy-neesan!" "what are you doing?" "Now!" "Fleuve d'Etoile!" "what's the deal?" "!" "Out of magic power?" "That shouldn't be..." "Happy!" "sir!" "Dazzling Blaze of the Fire Dragon!" "will you come with us without resistance?" "Wow!" "I'm dazzled!" "Nee-san!" "I'll try and work hard too next time." "How was it?" "Wizards are amazing..." "Guilds are a lot of fun!" "but there's never a dull day." "what'd you find?" "I got an acquaintance of mine to look into things." "Laki's gone to get the report." "speak of the devil." "Good work." "Sorry about making you handle this kind of stuff." "this is what they found." "The Lobster Family really was a wealthy plantation family concentrated in the Zentopia Church Parish." "Guess I was worried for nothing." "Dranbalt." "But it's still a relief." "Hold up a second." "The Lobster family was a wealthy plantation family?" "Why the past tense?" "That's because a number of years ago there was a terrible incident." "you mean that." "Michelle is a survivor?" "I don't understand this at all." "and this time corroded? I can come to no other conclusion than there are multiple culprits." "No..." "Who is he?" "He seems to have been out when the tragedy happened." "What?" "But I heard there was a body discovered here..." "Yes..." "But I was sure this church only had the one priest... who was the victim?" "He's very insistent that there was no one there." "Lucy-neesan..." "I've been thinking." "What?" "right?" "Guess so." "why not request the guild to investigate that memento?" "Michelle!" "I see." "Never heard of a wizard asking a wizard for help!" "Hand over a request flier upstairs." "We'll pass it on." "Lucy!" "Who's gonna volunteer?" "Putting in a request for the guild?" "I got permission!" "I want to do something to help you understand what Uncle Jude wanted to say to you." "I'll take it on!" "Don't break it now." "Understand?" "you!" "I know that!" "it's a fateful union?" "They've both lost their families..." "But..." "You went and researched her identity..." "Not bad." "after all." "This is how I got us through these seven years." "Speaking of which..." "There's something else that's worrying me..." "Hey!" "Are you okay?" "What?" "What in the world?" "Something's appearing!" "It's letters." "Those ancient letters?" "get Levy-chan to..." "She's not here!" "She's off far away with Shadow Gear on a job." "And so is Fried." "It's trying to tell us something..." "Father..." "Gramps?" "Lucy..." "You'd be better off not getting involved with this." "What do you mean?" "Father... no matter what!" "again?" "Natsu." "it's not just me!" "Gajeel's the same way!" "too!" "That's what it means to be a man always striving for the top!" "That's what it means to be a man who doesn't know his place." "Got it?" "Next time:" "Raging Battle!" "Natsu vs. Laxus!" "what about Lucy?" "Lucy's still fighting with that short stick." "she wants to be a stick figure?" "Lucy-neesan?" "Have you found the ancient letters?" "Nope." "I'm not having any luck at all... we've got work." "We're going off to capture some gold-stealing bandits." "Don't tell me it's the Jiggle Butt Gang again?" "but we'll find out along the way." "I'm gonna take a pass this time." "We haven't gotten any farther with deciphering the writing that appeared on the iron rod..." "Where's Natsu?" "I don't know." "It looks like he went out somewhere." "That's it then." "The two of us will go." "Yeah..." "Erza?" "Do you have a problem with that?" "uh... no problem." "we should be home by this evening." "Let's get a move on." "Gray-sama... why didn't you invite Juvia?" "How thoughtless!" "Not even one bite... so take it more seriously!" "leave it to me..." "Wake up!" "You want something?" "I've got a little bone to pick with the members of Fairy Tail... aren't you?" "What if I am?" "What if you are?" "Then I'll flatten you like a pancake!" "Pain in the ass..." "That's..." "It has to be..." "What's wrong?" "It's Laxus. but it looks like he's been livin' around here!" "But Laxus is still in exile." "You probably saw something else!" "I'm gonna check it out!" "Natsu!" "Wait for me!" "Raging Battle!" "Natsu vs. Laxus!" "Gajeel!" "Salamander!" "Where you goin'?" "Wherever I want!" "Same here!" "Don't follow me!" "You get outta my face!" "Oh yeah?" "!" "You wanna have a go?" "!" "both of you!" "right?" "I'm gonna have a showdown with him!" "You wouldn't be able to beat Laxus yet!" "that one time... look what happened." "Shut up!" "I didn't need your help then!" "I'm gonna win for sure!" "I'm gonna win!" "That's enough out of you two." "Laxus?" "!" "It really was Laxus!" "Laxus!" "Natsu is here too?" "And Gajeel?" "!" "Stop carrying on like little kids." "you're livin' around here?" "The place I moved to just happens to be near here." "Then you oughta come back to the guild." "Mind your own business." "I don't give a crap if you come back or not." "let's settle once and for all who's stronger!" "With me too." "I know your game." "but I'm not gonna bite." "You gonna run away?" "'Scuse me?" "are you Laxus?" "!" "Natsu?" "Fine." "Alright!" "Laxus doesn't have to fight." "Your opponents are the Raijinshuu." "Our fate is joined with Laxus!" "no." "My own fists will pound some sense into their thick skulls." "Music to my ears!" "Natsu." "I'll start with you." "Stop right there!" "Wendy..." "I think something like this should be carried out with a plan!" "A plan?" "What are you talking about?" "The showdown is tomorrow!" "but fine." "our battle's tomorrow." "Let's have it at the Sola tree in the South Gate Park!" "And you fight me after that." "Whatever... seriously?" "!" "Those two never learn their lesson..." "I guess Laxus has been living in a corner of Magnolia." "Who cares about that?" "!" "Showdowns are a Man!" "But are Natsu and Gajeel going to be okay?" "you..." "I don't think there is any way you can have a "safe" battle with Laxus..." "Is Laxus really that strong? he was probably only second to Gildarts when it came to strength." "it's my duty to liven this up!" "I say!" "Festival!" "Festivals are a Man!" "so let's have fun with it!" "Agreed!" "Hey!" "What the heck is this?" "!" "There's a festival goin' on?" "!" "Looks like everyone's having a good time!" "You're the cause of this!" "This is wonderful!" "There are so many food stands!" "You've really got an appetite tonight..." "What's this festival about?" "We heard the news about your duel..." "They said it's a festival to get pumped up about the main event tomorrow." "Huh..." "It's really because everyone here loves a good festival. too... too!" "Cool!" "Cool!" "Coooooool!" "from Weekly Sorcerer!" "Meeting again after seven years!" "And a festival to celebrate a duel!" "I've been waiting for this day to come!" "Pipe down!" "Just get the show on the road!" "let me introduce the guest you've all been waiting for..." "Mirajane!" "Yay!" "You're gonna get some rock tonight." "Neechan!" "Do it up!" "but I've got a sore throat... shouldn't you do something to get ready for tomorrow's fight?" "Not necessary." "All I gotta do is pound the hell outta him with the power I've got." "I see." "So you haven't put any thought into it at all..." "I wonder what Gajeel's up to... so he's probably off doin' some special training somewhere." "I would like to introduce a soulful singer in my stead!" "Take it away!" "That's Gajeel!" "That's special training?" "!" "Thanks for comin' here tonight on my behalf." "We didn't come for you!" "I'm gonna favor you with an original song!" "Nobody demanded it!" "to... "Best Friend"!" "That again?" "!" "colorful..." "Shooby doo bop!" "steel grey metallic!" "A guitar and a white suit just doesn't go with Gajeel... too... right?" "!" "you're back?" "!" "Yeah." "I was out on my first job with Shadow Gear for a long time." "hard!" "Sweet honey..." "Levy-chan!" "Thank you!" "Guess we'll camp out here for the night..." "Even though I thought we'd have this wrapped up while it was still light out..." "At least we know where their hideout is." "All we have to do now is wait 'til they come back with the gold." "Right... this is awkward..." "Being alone with Erza..." "It's like we've got nothing to say to each other..." "Gray..." "Aren't you going to strip?" "Hah?" "yes?" "Where is this going?" "!" "it depends on my mood... still wearing your armor..." "Now that you mention it..." "Good point." "Gray..." "To bed." "Y-Yeah..." "What's happening here?" "!" "What's happening here?" "!" "To bed"?" "!" "if only he said it like that to Juvia... let's go to bed." "This is no time to be imagining that!" "She's sleeping already?" "doesn't she have even an ounce of caution?" "Yeesh." "She's got a pretty face when she's quiet like this..." "They're back." "R-Right..." "Let's go." "Alright!" "Thank goodness nothing happened..." "Halt!" "Who the hell are you?" "!" "I'm Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail!" "I don't think there's any need to introduce ourselves to these bums." "We're here by request of the owner of that gold you stole." "Don't bother resisting." "Just hand over the gold. so we hired a couple bodyguards!" "That's your cue!" "gentlemen!" "Good evening." "We're the notorious Vanish Brothers!" "Vanish Brothers..." "I've heard of you." "you're the guys Natsu beat the hell out of at Duke Everlue's mansion." "That was a long time ago." "we've had so much training that we're powerful enough to face even Erza of Fairy Tail without fear." "show us how powerful a mercenary guild is." "I'm going to handle these two alone." "What?" "!" "so will I." "this guy is making light of us." "Cool down." "Think of this as business only." "Don't take it personally." "right?" "Yes." "Come on!" "Ice Make... eh?" "My Frying Pan has always been able to absorb fire attacks but now it can also deal with ice!" "...Lance!" "and spurts it back out!" "That's not gonna touch me!" "He's got game." "let's go with the you-know-what!" "Finishing Move:" "Destruction of Heaven and Earth!" "Face toward heaven and earth is where we be!" "Face the earth and heaven is where we be!" "No one can escape this combo technique!" "but have they improved these past seven years?" "Gray-sama!" "Juvia will help you!" "Stay out of this!" "I'm not feelin' a thing!" "Shut up!" "Here comes the finishing blow! I've got something for you both!" "Icebringer!" "you...!" "That's my Gray-sama..." "I guess Gray's also gotten better..." "These guys shouldn't have given you that much trouble." "I wanted to have a little fun with it." "We're going to return the gold you stole to its rightful owner." "do you?" "of course not!" "Now Juvia can go home with peace of mind." "What's all this hullabaloo about? so everyone's been making a big to-do about it since last night." "They're probably happy about getting the chance to see you again after so long." "They're fools as always..." "But that's Fairy Tail." "Laxus!" "I'm not too sure about that..." "Would you buy this for me?" "!" "alright..." "What should I do?" "I told them to have the fight today to give them time to cool off... huh?" "this isn't what I had in mind at all!" "Is something wrong?" "Master!" "We were looking for you all over!" "Where were you?" "!" "Has something happened?" "Natsu-san and Gajeel-san are going to have a duel with Laxus-san!" "Say what?" "!" "?" "Coooooool!" "as dignified as you'd expect!" "And there he is!" "Gajeel is in the house!" "The combatants glare at each other!" "There's tension in the air..." "And now Natsu is here!" "All the pieces are in place!" "Happy." "sir!" "Laxus stands up!" "he's heading for Natsu first!" "You ready?" "Yeah." "do I?" "'Course not!" "Not gonna be my fault if you snuff it." "Laxus!" "get back." "Natsu!" "I will." "There they go!" "Incredible feeling of tension..." "Whoever makes the first move will lose..." "It's over?" "!" "?" "huh?" "right?" "Natsu!" "Laxus!" "This is what you call a "difference in skill level"." "right?" "Huh?" "no!" "Gajeel has disappeared?" "!" "Don't tell me that bastard has run off!" "What?" "!" "Comb the hills!" "No way are we gonna let him escape!" "Combing the hills is a Man!" "I've lost respect for you!" "Gajeel!" "are you okay?" "I've got it!" "This is in ancient Potamelian." "I've never heard of that." "Levy-chan?" "Time is etched and then chaos descends." "Time is etched and then chaos descends..." "I've heard that phrase before somewhere..." "Where?" "Umm..." "Uh..." "Laxus!" "Come back to Fairy Tail!" "Master!" "It's about time you lifted Laxus's expulsion!" "Master!" "Not here..." "Not here either..." "This is the one!" "It's from here!" "The phrase "time is etched and then chaos descends" appears in this book." "What's the context?" "let's see..." "It's a story about a clock that follows a strange destiny through the ages as it's passed on from one person to another." "It's this pendulum clock!" "What's wrong?" "Look at this drawing!" "This isn't just some rod..." "It's the hand of a clock!" "Does it still hurt?" "This is nothin'!" "Ow..." "Where did that bastard Gajeel hide?" "!" "but they may not be able to find him." "Has Gajeel come back?" "!" "Hey!" "Gajeel!" "Who are you people?" "Who the hell's come to pick a fight with Fairy Tail?" "!" "Huh?" "Feels like I've seen them somewhere before... you've got bad eyes!" "These guys were in Edolas!" "Really?" "They looked like this?" "they do seem kind of different..." "Happy!" "Next time:" "Targeted Lucy!" "It looks like they're after Lucy!" "She gets targeted a lot." "Why is that?" "She's probably behind on her rent or something!" "Kanaloa..." "Do you also feel a stirring in your heart?" "Yes." "This is a holy war." "And I shall give no quarter to any who would oppose me." "Who are you?" "!" "What...?" "!" "You're Coco...?" "!" "What are you doing in this world?" "!" "right?" "I see!" "You must have come to Earthland while we were gone!" "you look pretty young..." "Coco?" "!" "Please don't talk so familiarly to me." "This is my first time meeting you people." "What?" "!" "How could you forget us?" "!" "That's not what's going on!" "I think they're all..." "Huh?" "I'm starvin'!" "I wonder where Gajeel-san went off to..." "A Man doesn't flee from his enemy!" "Who are they?" "Clients?" "Huh?" "this person..." "Queen Shagotte...?" "Not her..." "Coco?" "!" "how did you get to Earthland?" "!" "It seems like they're totally mistaking us for other people!" "Mary Hughes." "Sugar Boy-san." "Hughes?" "Sugar Boy?" "!" "The guys we fought at that royal amusement park!" "the face is similar..." "And you were a man!" "What are you dressed like a woman for?" "!" "I hate this guy already... um..." "What have you come here for?" "This is our guild!" "The rumors were right." "You are a pitiful bunch of wizards." "What?" "!" "We've got just one demand." "Hand over Lucy Heartfilia!" "Hand her over...?" "!" "This is my first time seeing a marriage proposal..." "That's not what this is!" "Targeted Lucy!" "There's no point in hiding her." "We know Lucy Heartfilia belongs to this guild." "baby!" "What is this about?" "Nee-san?" "Don't ask me!" "You suddenly show up out of nowhere and make this ridiculous demand?" "!" "I'm the Master here. of course." "but get the hell outta here now!" "how scary... several churches have been attacked." "Are you the ones...?" "Hah?" "I see... the timing is too convenient." "Spicy!" "that's a spicy accusation..." "That's outrageous..." "We're not obliged to stand here and listen to your drivel." "Just give us Lucy Heartfilia immediately!" "But if you refuse to cooperate we'll take her by force!" "my hound dogs!" "the springtime of our lives!" "What's this?" "Is this a song?" "Puppy dogs!" "Please take care of these two-bit wizards!" "in more ways than one!" "It looks tasty..." "How so?" "!" "What the hell is this?" "!" "Is it phlegm?" "!" "Man!" "What the hell?" "!" "I don't know what to grab on to!" "Elfman!" "Elf-niichan!" "No!" "Stay back!" "This stuff is gonna do something!" "Yummy!" "The taste of wizards is spicy!" "I can't move... the three of us used to sleep in the same bed together like this..." "This is no time for nostalgia!" "What is that stuff?" "!" "That mucus stuff has a will of its own?" "!" "Like this..." "Nobody touch it!" "right?" "Give her to us before people start getting hurt!" "I have no interest in hitting kids!" "I'm an adult!" "Macao!" "They're the enemy!" "I told you to call me "Master"!" "No way an attack like that is gonna hit me!" "What the hell is she?" "!" "Pain in the ass..." "You wench!" "Huh?" "!" "Cut it out!" "The building's fallin' apart as it is!" "Master!" "Everyone!" "Crap!" "It's all we can do just to hold it off!" "What is this?" "!" "It keeps getting bigger and bigger!" "Natsu!" "Do something!" "Um..." "You're totally white!" "Natsu-san!" "Don't tell me the damage from his duel with Laxus finally kicked in?" "!" "That took a long time..." "These guys are frickin' hilarious!" "What spicy screams!" "I guess it just goes to show that guild wizards are no big deal." "Coco... it's not her..." "Nothing saddened Coco more than hurting people." "She hated violence..." "This girl is..." "Howls!" "folks!" "You give up already?" "Dammit..." "My magic's exhausted..." "What's going on here?" "!" "They're not the people we know from Edolas!" "and Sugar Boy who were already in Earthland!" "I see..." "Just like there were doubles of us in Edolas there must be doubles of Coco and the others here in Earthland!" "Lucy Heartfilia... we're gonna put more of the hurt on your friends!" "Unless you want us to keep going on a rampage...?" "Lu-chan!" "You've got to hold back..." "They don't know who Lucy is yet..." "You three get outta here and look for Gramps." "I'll manage here somehow..." "But..." "Natsu!" "You three!" "You're totally suspicious!" "Natsu-nii..." "Take this!" "Romeo..." "That reeks!" "Sorry!" "Gave you the wrong one... anyway..." "Lucy!" "Hot!" "Fire Magic?" "That ain't nothin!" "Command Magic!" "Huh?" "We're fighting each other?" "!" "Why?" "!" "I'm guessing that's..." "Take that!" "Here." "Crap!" "wizards!" "Now dance some more for our amusement!" "It seems that girl isn't a wizard..." "A rock..." "She hit me with a rock..." "I've totally got murder on my mind..." "Enough!" "cat!" "Wing Slash of the Sky Dragon!" "Dummy!" "Huh?" "!" "It's because of that stick!" "the people?" "!" "Ow..." "I have no choice but to call on my Celestial Spirits and fight... but it won't work for some reason..." "You've got motion sickness?" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "Why do I feel so exhausted...?" "Elf-niichan... you're heavy..." "Maybe it's because of that mucus stuff from before..." "Crap!" "I can't move..." "I've got no physical strength or magic power..." "That stuff sapped it out of us...?" "What do you want with Lucy?" "!" "We don't have to answer you!" "We'll give you five more seconds." "Alright!" "But stop attacking!" "I'm..." "I'm Lucy Heartfilia." "So you're the one...?" "Walk over here quietly." "Wait a second..." "I'm the one you're looking for." "What is it that you want with me?" "she's definitely the daughter of the former owner of the Heartfilia Konzern." "She sure has class!" "I figured she'd be rougher around the edges..." "What's going on here?" "!" "Lucy Heartfilia..." "The daughter of the former owner of the Heartfilia Konzern and Fairy Tail's resident Celestial Spirit wizard..." "If I'm not mistaken?" "No mistake." "That is me." "She's... she sure looks like she fits the bill..." "Hold on there!" "I'm Lucy!" "Michelle-san..." "I'm touched that you're trying to protect me." "But I don't think your lie would work anyway!" "What are you saying?" "!" "they'd see through your guise soon enough!" "I can't cause anyone more trouble than I already have!" "Let's tell them the truth!" "huh?" "W-What an impassioned performance!" "It's beautiful!" "Man!" "I'm Lucy!" "I'm Lucy!" "W-What should we do? right?" "That's because we were on Tenroujima for seven years..." "Lucy!" "Back off!" "I won't let 'em lay one finger on you!" "R-Right!" "Understood!" "Hah?" "too?" "!" "Lucy?" "Yeah!" "Leave it to me!" "too?" "!" "Lucy?" "!" "I'll pull through..." "Lucy?" "!" "There's another one!" "E-Everyone..." "Nee-san..." "I don't know which is the real one!" "Damn them..." "Lucy?" "Lucy." "Spicy!" "too!" "Stop it!" "This is totally ridiculous." "So we should just round 'em all up?" "Well... my hound dogs!" "Not this time!" "Dazzling Blaze of the Fire Dragon!" "Lucy!" "Now!" "Natsu!" "Nee-san!" "while those three are distracted!" "Everyone..." "I'm sorry..." "Thank you!" "Two got away!" "When?" "!" "Coco!" "Right!" "Not if we have anything to say about it!" "Free Run Unlock!" "She jumped!" "and 10!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "that's..." "Athletic Magic..." "It was banned after so many people got injured from it." "I'll stop her!" "Solid Script..." "Iron!" "There." "Sand Slash!" "Wood Make!" "Violent Approach!" "Sand and wood..." "Not one of my hound dogs' favorites..." "Again?" "!" "They're being absorbed!" "But they've got good chemistry with you." "In what month where you born?" "What's your blood type?" "Hah?" "let's look for the Master around here..." "G-Good idea..." "But why'd you say you were Lucy?" "!" "I... I would've been able to escape one way or another." "who can't use any magic..." "I-I..." "I'm sorry..." "I hadn't thought about what would happen after... so I thought I could at least help that way... need a tissue?" "you really have a risky side..." "But I'm touched." "Thank you." "Nee-san... huh?" "I may have been the same way when I first joined the guild..." "I'd act rashly again and again... everyone would save me." "I've really got to keep it together." "I wonder why those guys are after me..." "Kinana-san thought they might be the criminals who raided those churches..." "But I don't have anything to do with any church..." "Found you!" "And I'm not letting you get away again!" "You're scary in a plain way!" "Follow my lead!" "I was lying before." "this girl is the real Lucy-chan!" "Excuse me?" "!" "Wrong!" "This one is the real deal!" "This is the one and only Lucy-san!" "lying to save your bacon from getting caught isn't right!" "You know you're the genuine article! true blue you-know-who!" "...is what she wants you to think!" "factual person you're after is me after all!" "Um..." "Uh... but I am the genuine princess." "Huh?" "!" "What did you suddenly come out for?" "!" "Princess." "Princess..." "You mean Lucy Heartfilia?" "but I am the true princess." "I may be Lucy after all..." "I may be the real Lucy... you're Lucy!" "Princess?" "That girl's so innocent..." "I feel really guilty about doing that to her..." "It seems one of the two that Coco chased after is the real Lucy Heartfilia." "kitty-cat." "What?" "That wasn't me!" "Beast Arm..." "Iron Bull!" "This ticks me off!" "It's totally hard to fight like this!" "Totally" is what I say!" "Don't copy me!" "just fight for cryin' out loud!" "our time here is limited." "too!" "Over my dead body!" "I can tame several people at once with my Command Magic!" "Dammit!" "Nobody's gonna control me!" "Natsu-san is... huh?" "big bang boom!" "Yeesh." "Where the hell did Gajeel go?" "Everyone's probably back at the guild by now." "too..." "I guess we can go out looking again tomorrow..." "What the heck is that?" "!" "that's..." "Wha...?" "!" "What's going on here?" "!" "What happened?" "!" "Lucy-san!" "Michelle-san! but I don't know where they're looking!" "you have no idea?" "I can't detect any trace of Lucy-san..." "Bastards..." "Treatin' me like a smoke bomb..." "They'll pay for this!" "Natsu!" "So Natsu and the others went in search of Lu-chan." "Sorry." "I got caught up in the fight..." "Just the three of them made all of us look like fools." "Who could they be?" "Halt!" "Coco?" "!" "Wendy!" "10!" "This is no time to give out scores!" "It's dangerous here!" "I lost sight of Lucy Heartfilia." "Tell me where she is." "Other than that... so please stop acting overly familiar with me." "don't you know Lucy's scent?" "Strange." "It's like getting mixed up with another scent..." "Maybe it's that thing's fault...?" "from below!" "That guy again!" "My hound dogs said they wanna play with you some more!" "Sounds like fun!" "I'll make 'em look like a puddle of snail slime and pay 'em back 100 times over!" "hot boy!" "I hate things that are sweet!" "Even though your name is Sugar Boy?" "! but lose sight of the main subject." "What the hell is that?" "!" "An octopus?" "but..." "Not at all." "I suspect the cause is being in suspended animation but I'll take it back to the Celestial Spirit World and try repairing it." "Princess." "Thank you!" "So this is Celestial Spirit Magic... and there are a lot more than just Plue and Virgo!" "and the crab?" "How do you know?" "You told me yourself!" "Did I?" "Awesome..." "The exact route that Samuel figured you'd take beforehand..." "Bingo!" "Hughes!" "Look... over there!" "Where are you going?" "M-My legs..." "My feet are moving by themselves..." "Stop!" "You'll fall off the cliff!" "I can't help it!" "My legs aren't listening to me!" "Hughes!" "I thought you were gonna take the both of us!" "there's no chance you'll escape again!" "Wha...?" "!" "Let go of me!" "Nee-san!" "Have you found Lucy Heartfilia?" "Byro-sama." "Byro?" "!" "That bastard who sucked the magic power out of me and Wendy?" "!" "That octopus?" "!" "He's totally different from the Edolas Byro!" "Don't be disrespectful!" "Byro-sama is standing on top of the octopus!" "Hah?" "On top of the octopus?" "He really is totally different!" "We've come to capture the Heartfilia girl." "Swiftly dispose of those who stand in our way and return to the main mission." "sir!" "Nee-san!" "Let go of me!" "I absolutely will not let go!" "That's totally beautiful friendship!" "That saves me the trouble of having to control both of you!" "These guys are unexpectedly strong!" "they'll be a walk in the park!" "Then why haven't you gotten serious? then I swoop in and kick the bad guys' asses!" "but I bet you're already fighting seriously and still having a hard time!" "N-Not even close!" "you're sweating." "Next time:" "The Fury of Legion!" "it'll be an easy win!" "I think it'll be easier on you if you're honest..." "Don't you look at me with sympathetic eyes!" "Nee-san!" "Let go of me!" "I absolutely will not let go!" "Sugar Boy and... an octopus?" "!" "That's Byro." "Guild wizards." "Do you intend to defy me to the bitter end?" "hot boy." "Happy..." "You think I'd get sick riding' on that?" "That's not transportation!" "It's obviously an octopus!" "it's clearly for transport!" "I feel sick just lookin' at it!" "Natsu..." "Spicy!" "Bastard!" "I've had it up to here with your gooey crap!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Natsu's flames d-disappeared?" "!" "Byro-sama negates his opponent's magic." "What the hell is that?" "!" "It's the first I've heard!" "Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon!" "What was that?" "!" "Baby!" "Come on!" "Grow up!" "His magic absorbs his opponent's magic and takes nourishment from it." "please." "As you wish." "Hold on!" "Damn octopus!" "Byro-sama is busy." "The Fury of Legion!" "I open thee!" "Aries!" "I'm sorry!" "Is that good enough?" "!" "I'm sorry!" "Perfect timing!" "Thanks!" "Y-You saved us!" "but you're totally tough to kill!" "Here I come!" "I open thee!" "Taurus!" "Lucy-san's in a pinch after protecting a beautiful girl from falling off a cliff!" "Nice body!" "Hubba-hubba!" "just get her!" "I'll battle moooore fiercely than ever!" "No way am I gonna lose to some cow!" "He's not under her control?" "!" "she can only control humans!" "That magic doesn't work against Celestial Spirits!" "Taurus?" "!" "Th-Th... too!" "Hubba-hubba!" "Hey!" "What the hell are you responding to?" "!" "I'm sorta reluctant to attack a nice body..." "Go home!" "your Celestial Spirits are all kind of..." "How can I put it..." "Unique...?" "That's right." "I can count on them..." "but their characters are just..." "This is no time to be talking about that!" "please!" "We are!" "Leave it to me!" "Yeah!" "too..." "What should I do?" "!" "I don't think there's anything we can do when she's moving that fast!" "Lily?" "!" "I have to take her down... that's not the Coco I knew in Edolas." "get back!" "Kanaloa?" "Have you found something?" "This magic power..." "So you're the one who's giving off an enormous amount of magic power..." "An octopus...?" "Fairy Tail's most powerful S Class Wizard..." "Gildarts Clive!" "I don't know who you are... but it looks like you've come to attack Fairy Tail." "I have no business with your guild." "Oh?" "Cooool!" "Are you still following me?" "What an opportunity!" "This'll be my biggest scoop in the history of the Weekly Sorcerer!" "Right after I start covering him for "Shadowing Gildarts for 24 Hours:" "this coool situation comes up!" "First a showdown after seven long years and now this... it's too delicious!" "Which do you want me to beat down first?" "Your octopus?" "Or you?" "If you insist..." "I'll proceed until you are eliminated." "and yet you're on the defensive?" "No." "I just nullified your magic." "I nullified your magic against me and it discharged behind me. right?" "!" "I see..." "I don't have time to face off against you like this." "We have a mission to carry out." "A mission?" "attack me at will." "Shoot!" "Scorpio!" "One more time!" "We are!" "I'm gonna go with a heavy hitter!" "Sand Spear!" "You're wasting your time!" "Lucy-neesan!" "Nooo!" "Michelle!" "Crap!" "My attack hit her!" "the more magic it absorbs and the bigger it gets!" "What should we do?" "!" "Nothin' to it!" "Ain't no way I'm gonna lose against this blob!" "no!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "I hate obstinate people..." "Wha...?" "!" "What's it doin' now?" "! it can take on the properties of what it's absorbed!" "Natsu!" "Natsu is losing to fire?" "!" "I don't believe it! the more powerful it becomes." "pretty blue cat?" "Don't call me that!" "Natsu!" "Get out of there!" "G-Good idea but first do somethin' about this gooey fire!" "hot boy!" "come on!" "My hound dog is truly the best!" "Grow up!" "Grow!" "Yes!" "You ain't half-bad." "You as well..." "Crash?" "!" "He nullified it again!" "That's amazing!" "Too amazing!" "Cooool!" "I would like you to step aside." "You should clear the way by force." "Alright." "Until you're out of my way then... you're a pain in the ass..." "I could say the same about you." "anyway?" "Why are you givin' our guild so much grief?" "Giving your guild grief?" "You speak foolishly... she doesn't need to use hair... and the effect probably only works within a set distance... but in these circumstances... already!" "Where is she?" "!" "Lily!" "What are you doing?" "!" "I'll do something!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "I missed!" "That girl's always on the move!" "hot boy?" "Natsu!" "Happy..." "Pick me up and fly!" "What do you have in mind?" "fly!" "sir!" "boy and cat!" "Happy." "Pitch me into that junk." "it'll absorb your magic again..." "Just do it!" "Aye!" "Go!" "I'm sick an' tired of your slimy ass!" "I don't believe this..." "I'd say that's the very definition of "reckless"..." "Spicy!" "Natsu?" "I see!" "Absorb the power!" "Yes!" "Absorb it all!" "Yummy!" "Wha...?" "!" "This isn't good!" "Nooo!" "My hound dog got a blowout from eating too much?" "!" "now what are you gonna do?" "!" "Let go of my hand!" "hot boy!" "This is happening because of your damn putty!" "It ain't my fault!" "I'll use my hound dog's increased power to just protect my fist!" "I'll make your arm half-cooked!" "Not if I have anything to say about it!" "What are those two doing?" "There's no end to this..." "Coool!" "What a fool Jason is!" "I just remembered!" "He's Byro Cracy!" "He belongs to the Legion Corps!" "Legion Corps?" "What's that?" "not to mention all over the world!" "And the Legion Corps is a secret order of warriors from the dark side of their history!" "it's comprised of fierce soldiers who've been through training so harsh that not even a priest could endure it!" "And what does this secret order want with Fairy Tail?" "There's no need to tell you that." "Tell me!" "Fairy Tail isn't a guild that can be crushed so easily!" "to be frank." "The thing is one of the members is my daughter!" "Oh?" "we only have business with Lucy Heartfilia." "What business with Lucy?" "!" "Your eyes tell me how serious you are." "But so are we." "This is no simple mission." "The Archbishop of Zentopia has entrusted us with this... so to speak..." "Crusade?" "Indeed..." "It's very important that this crusade be carried out." "Get out of here!" "Huh?" "There's no point in being a field reporter if you die on the scene." "Now run away!" "Bring it." "Found you!" "this has taken more time than I thought it would." "But that's because we didn't have any information about what you looked like..." "Wake up..." "Michelle!" "Awesome!" "now." "Come on over here!" "Why are you after Lucy?" "!" "it's not Lucy Heartfilia herself that we want." "What we're looking for is..." "Hit this bastard!" "Hit 'im!" "why don't you let go of my hand?" "I'm not interested in holding hands with a man and I hate both sweetness and obstinacy!" "It's not like I'm holdin' your hand because I want to!" "hot boy." "hot boy." "Ice Cannon!" "Moron!" "I thought my arm was gonna snap off!" "Is that what you say when someone saves your ass?" "You slant-eyed bastard..." "You..." "And now we've got ice boy..." "Spicy..." "Don't call me any weird names!" "What the hell are you doing here?" "!" "Gray!" "He's the Sugar Boy of Earthland!" "come on." "Right over here." "You people are after..." "That's right." "That clock hand." "We don't need you." "Erza..." "This is rare." "It looks like you're having a hard time." "Sorry." "I can't seem to get the better of this guy..." "There's nothing more unpleasant than coming back home and finding the place overrun with scum!" "right?" "What a simpleton!" "Did you really think we wanted you?" "!" "Stop it!" "I won't." "My father left me this keepsake!" "I won't give it up!" "Then I want it even more!" "I love stealing things that are precious to people!" "Please!" "Don't!" "Michelle!" "Wake up!" "Awesome!" "I got Mary!" "That's..." "A signal..." "It seems the clock hand has been obtained." "What...?" "Spicy..." "Lucy..." "Those bastards..." "This ain't gonna end with Fairy Tail gettin' trounced!" "huh?" "I wonder why they want that thing... ain't it?" "I bet those jackasses are clock geeks!" "I don't think you're on the right track there..." "Next time:" "Key of the Starry Sky!" "If they're not geeks..." "Maybe it's a fetish?" "So the big hand and little hand form a golden triangle..." "Not a chance!" "W-What?" "!" "Legion?" "!" "Then the ones that attacked us are from Zentopia?" "Yeah." "I'm positive." "Why would Fiore's largest religious organization attack us?" "but he said some crap about a crusade..." "Who gives a damn about all that?" "!" "I swear we'll get that memento back for you!" "Yeah." "Don't be so glum." "You were being controlled by magic..." "I'm sorry." "I couldn't do anything to help..." "Michelle." "It's because..." "It's because..." "I was weak..." "The church attacks that happened soon before Zentopia's anniversary event..." "A mysterious clock hand and a sinister line..." "That Legion was after and some crusade..." "I don't like it. an' I hope we don't let it just end with our asses gettin' kicked..." "What happened with the members that were sent in pursuit?" "all of the teams lost track of them." "But it's not over." "It's just begun I suppose you could say." "100 times over!" "Right?" "!" "Yeah!" "Key of the Starry Heavens!" "The crusade they mentioned..." "Legion is trying to accomplish something big... the clock hand was necessary." "And the words that were inscribed on it..." "Time is etched... and then chaos descends..." "Carla?" "Nothing." "Never mind." "That clock actually exists somewhere..." "Do they mean to use it for their crusade?" "Chaos descends..." My guess it's a reference to that crusade." "are you okay?" "Are you following the conversation?" "shut up!" "Then rules are unnecessary here." "That's right up my alley!" "right?" "they're a thief?" "lock your door whenever you go out?" "All of our freedoms were built upon the foundations of certain rules." "everything would be pure lawlessness." "Is that what they're trying to achieve with their crusade?" "Sounds like things are gettin' crazy again... you can't call robbing someone of their property an act of holiness." "A clue..." "Maybe Legion is looking for another part of the clock now... the meaning of the memento will also become clear." "All we can do is investigate." "And maybe that'll tell us where they are..." "Or maybe they'll notice us sniffing around and come for us." "I like that thinking'!" "Let's go!" "But where should we start investigating?" "I'll try doing a divination." "That should narrow it down at least." "Did you hear that?" "!" "That's my daughter!" "yeah... sir!" "Nothing out of the ordinary at the two other parishes." "Good work." "Is it possible that another place besides the three that we supposed will come under attack?" "I cannot say for sure." "But from the results of our investigation of the incidents up to now and the latest divination three possibilities have been derived." "I have faith in that." "Who's inside?" "no one is here at this hour." "Excited!" "Hot!" "Rich!" "So you're the one...?" "monster!" "Please sit quietly and let me do you in!" "A scream?" "!" "How can that be?" "!" "no!" "Hurry!" "well..." "The Detention Corps is working hard in the wee hours of the morning..." "Are you the one responsible for the string of attacks?" "!" "What is that?" "!" "It's huge!" "What the devil are you?" "!" "my name is Jackpot and so... there we go!" "Washtubs it is!" "Hot!" "Totally hot!" "Rushing Down the Path of Evil!" "yeah!" "Lightning bonus!" "Who is this clown?" "Let's go again!" "Here it is!" "Oni Flash!" "This is totally hot." "He disappeared!" "What was that?" "!" "Was that the serial attacker?" "!" "So it would seem..." "And his jocular manner makes him all the more fearsome... but... can we ask you to do it?" "I don't mind..." "We couldn't ask anyone but you to do somethin' this dangerous." "We'll partner you up with just the right person." "Look at him sneaking around again in the middle of the night... don't be so hard on him." "did you hear that?" "A little bit." "How about going with Papa?" "right?" "Why don't you go by yourself?" "Cana-chan..." "Get going!" "See you later!" "Why don't you try being a little nicer to him?" "You've got to be kidding!" "but... too?" "It seems his nightmares become worse by the night..." "And sedatives don't work either?" "Are you awake?" "How do you feel?" "Mmm..." "It was that dream again.." "Tonight as well?" "Yes..." "It's a terribly ill-omened dream..." "But what is it trying to tell me?" "I am afraid to sleep." "it will affect your health." "The anniversary event is also near... just in case something happens to me." "Don't talk like that!" "it sometimes becomes necessary to make difficult choices." "And that is the duty of the Archbishop of Zentopia." "I kind of remember seeing this before..." "It's the Heartfilia mansion." "Was it put up for sale?" "considering seven years have passed." "huh?" "The administrator of the estate says they haven't been able to find a buyer..." "Probably because it's too luxurious..." "This brings back memories..." "I used to think of this as a castle back then..." "And it hasn't changed... you've been here before?" "We used to play a lot together..." "Oh..." "That's... right...?" "you used to make clothes for me... right..." "I may have..." "Clothes?" "She must be better with her hands than I thought." "That's cute." "Although the clothes were made with colored construction paper and flowers... jeez..." "How do you make clothes with construction paper and flowers?" "!" "think..." "Go home!" "I'd like to get to the reason we're here." "Do you mind?" "No objections!" "Um..." "Where should we start?" "And what are we supposed to be looking for?" "That's the reason I had so many of us come here." "We'll spread out in groups of two and thoroughly search every room. anything..." "How about this?" "huh?" "Yeah." "I was told that some of it is priceless and some of it is just junk..." "What's this?" "I think this was done shortly before my mom passed." "I just remember being told to sit like that..." "It was hard on me to think about her afterwards..." "And I took it out on other people and things..." "I think I made everyone worry about me..." "Oh..." "I'm gonna buy this house back!" "as much as possible!" "Back to... the way it was?" "Yeah!" "Is something wrong?" "No." "It's a lovely idea." "I think Uncle Jude would be pleased." "I see..." "My dad..." "It's like a library!" "This is my father's study." "He collected more books than me." "Maybe there's a book in here that'll give us a clue!" "Hmm..." "Easier said than done." "With this many books..." "To My Daughter"...?" "look at this!" "This is a strange book..." "All of the pages are blank." "The title is "To My Daughter"..." "and there's no publication data." "Then there's some magic at work on the book..." "Nee-san..." "Is he sleeping?" "he's tuning in." "Old Master Crux should be able to learn something." "Diao!" "Well?" "this is decidedly nothing more than an old bundle of paper." "let alone characters written in invisible ink." "your father bound these pages together himself." "I see..." "Did you learn anything else?" "There is one more thing." "there have been certain "rules when it comes to this particular type of riddle." "this title..." "What if it's an anagram?" "I see!" "right?" "I wouldn't know a potential clue if it bit me in the ass!" "I'm hungry..." "What are you guys playin' a game for?" "Natsu-san!" "Keep your silence." "We're thinking!" "What's that?" "A puzzle?" "We're trying to decipher an anagram." "that." "it is like a puzzle." "that looks like fun!" "Let me..." "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "We were trying to think!" "Oops." "We were on the verge of getting a flash of inspiration!" "Erza-san is serious..." "She's the type that really focuses on this kind of thing." "Jeez!" "You scattered the cards all over the place..." "Ah..." "Is this..." "Diao!" "correct?" "Myth"?" "Indeed." "Like an old legend..." "I think we're gettin' there." "What can we do with the remaining letters?" "Duo..." "Great..." "Myth..." "That's it!" "There are two books referred to as "The Two Great Myths"!" "The author is Will Neville." "One book is titled "Life of the Clockwork" and it's got those words in it!" "Nee-san?" "Uh-huh." "What a coincidence!" "As for the other myth..." "Ta-daa!" "It's called "Key of the Starry Heavens"!" "Isn't that a picture book?" "It's not just any old picture book!" "It's really magical... doesn't the word "key" strike you?" "Yeah." "Maybe there's some kind of hint inside the book." "Like another anagram?" "I guess it wouldn't be that easy... we may be able to learn something..." "No..." "Carla?" "I don't know if it has to do with that clock hand but maybe there's a message from my father in this book!" "And what is that kitty-cat over there holding?" "A book about a rabbit and a turtle." "too." "Would you give me that book?" "You're after this book?" "!" "That's not really a funny joke." "W-What the hell is that?" "!" "The door handle expanded!" "it seems." "which broke down the door?" "I don't believe it!" "He's...?" "!" "You mean..." "An Exceed!" "But was this guy in Extalia?" "Happy!" "you..." "Who the hell are you?" "!" "I am the head of Legion..." "Samuel." "huh?" "Then give us back the clock hand!" "Never." "What?" "!" "you've done exactly as I predicted." "I knew you would come here." "And that you would find a clue." "you have." "I'm a genius." "That guy's gettin' on my nerves..." "We'll have to attack before he gets the chance..." "Erza-san!" "Right." "Ice Make:" "Lance!" "Victory goes to the one who makes the first move!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Wait a..." "No!" "What are you doing?" "!" "I just decided to buy this house back!" "Hold it!" "That guy repelled our magic!" "I'm the spearhead of Legion..." "Dan Straight is here!" "Another weirdo..." "Did you get a good look at the power of my shield?" "Magic shield "Ricochet"!" "then scatters them about!" "Ricochet..." "So everything bounces off of it..." "Then we can't just attack willy-nilly..." "One false move and Lucy will be buying back a mountain of debris!" "We got one pain in the ass comin' in after another!" "They're going to attack." "nothing will change!" "I'll destroy that thing before it can repel my attack!" "I told you to stop it!" "that girl has the book." "Lucy-san!" "I'll lure that guy outside!" "Nee-san!" "Here's the book!" "Steal it if you can!" "Th-Throb!" "You're beautiful!" "Throb!" "Beautiful!" "This wizard is too beautiful!" "She's shot me right through the heart!" "I can't stand it!" "I can't stand it!" "She's crushed me!" "what's your name?" "Lucy..." "Lucy!" "I can't stand it!" "Lu!" "Cy!" "You've touched me to the quick!" "Can I call you Lu-tan?" "Lu-chan?" "Lu-pi?" "Lun-lun?" "Whatever..." "It's begun..." "Whatever"!" "That voice!" "Those eyes!" "That mouth!" "That hair!" "That chest!" "That waist!" "Those legs!" "All of it makes my Fibonacci sequence chirp!" "It spells out..." "L!" "O!" "V!" "E!" "That's love!" "W-What are you talking about?" "!" "Love!" "Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Cut it out!" "Don't butt in!" "Lucy and Michelle." "We can't let them take that book!" "R-Right!" "I need you on support." "Leave this to me!" "I-I think we were overwhelmed by that..." "Our brains were at a standstill..." "Huh." "You've got a lot of confidence in yourself." "You'd do well not to underestimate us." "too!" "You protect Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Let's go!" "Right!" "I'm not done talking to you!" "Don't destroy the house!" "Hmph." "the framework of this building..." "I'll leave Titania to you." "Okay." "then!" "Even physical attacks bounce off?" "!" "Alrighty!" "What?" "!" "What kind of magic is this?" "!" "I heard you scream." "but the difference between you and Lu-tan is greater than the width of an ocean!" "jackass?" "!" "Titania!" "Hey!" "Wait a second!" "What was that?" "!" "It was from the study!" "Erza!" "we have to hurry!" "R-Right..." "When did he...?" "! based on your mental state and the structure of this abode." "No one wants to hear your mumbling!" "Natsu!" "Natsu-san!" "Bastard!" "How dare you do that to Natsu-san?" "!" "Exactly as planned..." "Natsu!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Son of a bitch!" "Wait a second!" "Happy!" "Where's Natsu?" "!" "Is he alright?" "!" "I stepped on him." "He's tiny!" "why don't you stop running around?" "What did you do to Natsu?" "!" "I'm able to change the size of anything I touch with my magic spear!" "That's the power of "Happy Lucky"!" "would you hand over that book without any more fuss?" "I don't like to do things Mary's way." "I would prefer to avoid having to get even rougher on you." "What?" "!" "Happy!" "Get the book and escape!" "sir!" "Hey!" "Get back here!" "Go!" "Go!" "Not clever by half..." "The book is right here." "Hey!" "He figured it out right away!" "How?" "!" "Everything is cause and effect." "I can read the calculations." "That's why I can see through everything that you people do." "You can have the book back." "I memorized its contents." "Hey..." "Lu-tan!" "just the two of us!" "Dan..." "Have you gained weight again?" "He left the book here..." "Meaning he doesn't see us as any kind of threat." "Condescending bastard..." "I swear I'll get them back..." "Turn me back to normal!" "Turn him back!" "Dad..." "What are you trying to tell me?" "What am I gonna do about this body?" "!" "you're gonna be dead weight this time around." "What's that?" "!" "right?" "I can even barbecue underwater!" "it just comes off as cute!" "you're gonna get it..." "Next time:" "Traveling Companions!" "are you angry?" "Of course I am!" "Even an angry Natsu is cute..." "No one wants to hear your mumbling!" "Natsu!" "Natsu-san!" "Bastard!" "How dare you do that to Natsu-san?" "!" "Exactly as planned..." "Natsu!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Son of a bitch!" "Wait a second!" "dear..." "He's so cute!" "Is that what you meant?" "!" "Natsu." "You're getting kind of heavy..." "It's not like I'm riding you for fun!" "Max..." "How about opening your shop again?" "I bet you could actually sell a lot of slant-eyed munchkin goods." "I ain't "goods"!" "you can't blame anyone for seeing you like that." "shut up!" "I can't concentrate!" "I found out a lot." "What?" "My father followed the contents of this book." "What do you mean?" "Key of the Starry Heavens" is about a little girl who's told she'll become happy if she can gather so she goes off to look for them." "too!" "the people around her become unhappy." "What kind of ending is that?" "we won't be able to understand the story at all!" "Aye." "Sorry." "So then?" "The First Key goes on a journey." "How can a key go on a journey?" "!" "Idiot." "It's just a metaphor." "What the hell is that?" "!" "{Timer missed this line}" "How can you be so dense?" "!" "Where did Legion attack first?" "Then..." "That's right." "The clock hand was brought here." "it "went on a journey"." "That's when all of the attacks started." "Traveling Companions!" "The little girl goes on a journey to find the remaining five keys." "And she finds them in various places... she arrives at a church and finds the sixth key there." "A church?" "Don't tell me..." "No." "It isn't Kardia Cathedral in this town." "It's much farther away." "How do you know? so I researched it quite a bit." "And I found out the places in "Key of the Starry Heavens" were modeled on real locations. hiding one in each place." "You didn't know about any of this?" "not really..." "Shortly before he passed away... he didn't speak much." "I'm positive we'll be able to obtain the remaining parts." "I don't know why Legion is after those clock parts." "But I can't let them succeed after seeing the prophecy about "chaos descending"!" "I'm going to look for the parts!" "By yourself?" "!" "Yeah. but I can't stop thinking about it." "I know how you feel..." "Natsu is no good to us if he stays like this." "Happy!" "You've been bustin' my balls ever since you got bigger than me!" "{or "chops" if "balls" is a no-no}" "You're wrong." "Natsu." "What are we gonna do?" "Legion has probably already figured out the same thing." "this becomes a race against time. it isn't certain what will happen." "However..." "Chaos upon the world" must be avoided." "Let's split up into groups." "Lily..." "This is a totally different direction..." "I don't know what he's thinking..." "Yeah." "Though he is dependable..." "Are you okay?" "I'm not okay!" "This body on this slope..." "It's too much for me..." "Lily." "Shouldn't we just head directly to our destination?" "Droy is gonna die at this rate." "Droy has nothing to do with my plan." "We need one more powerful person." "That's just mean..." "Who is this "powerful person"?" "A man with a peculiar way of laughing." "Geehee" is what it sounds like." "Why am I partnered up with her?" "The sun's beautiful rays are like a refreshing smile... it'll be like this..." "I'm so happy here..." "Me too..." "Juvia..." "What do you want?" "!" "I came." "Anyway..." "I came." "I was worried about the two of you being on your own." "What's there to worry about?" "!" "Various things... don't follow me!" "I'm worried... about this and that." "And I said worried about what?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Why does it have to be a boat of all things?" "!" "huh?" "Are you alright?" "I'm not alright... get a hold of yourself." "I don't know about this group..." "Why?" "right?" "the whole thing will be on my shoulders." "I don't know..." "What was Erza thinking?" "Happy!" "I wouldn't if I were you." "I'm the major muscle on this team." "huh?" "What does that mean here?" "Might you be members of Fairy Tail?" "That's right..." "What a waterfall..." "Water!" "I'm so thirsty!" "Over there..." "There he is!" "Gajeel..." "What's he doing?" "!" "Isn't it obvious?" "He's training." "Gajeel!" "Quiet!" "I'm in training." "I-I'm not scared!" "So what's he doing?" "That's training?" "I'm trying to train myself to be calm even when hit by both a waterfall and lightning!" "you're annoying!" "You should choose one or the other!" "too!" "I-I'm not afraid at all!" "Lily!" "Alright!" "Aren't we just here to pick him up?" "Sometimes there are things you just have to overcome!" "Lily!" "doesn't it?" "It's kind of like the story Lucy was telling us about." "How so?" "right?" "I'm thinking maybe this is what it was like..." "You're so happy-go-lucky... all the people around her became miserable and chaos descended on the world." "that's right..." "And I'm no little girl..." "Everyone..." "How about having a seat?" "It sure feels good..." "I mean..." "Picnic?" "I've always wanted to have one." "Picnic!" "Picnic..." "Picnic..." "Erza..." "We're getting off track..." "This is the first picnic of my life!" "Picnic!" "Legion will beat us to the punch!" "This is all part of the plan." "Legion won't get ahead of us if we just stop to enjoy one simple picnic." "The breeze is blowing across this endless plain..." "Delicious!" "Erza-san..." "Your sense of values is out of whack." "Completely... hey!" "Who gave you permission to have a picnic?" "!" "you say?" "This is our our grassy plain!" "And we don't like it when people just plop down and have a picnic here!" "I think you care a little too much about picnics..." "Is that... a horse?" "Is there some law against having a picnic here in this pleasant vast grassy plain?" "hey!" "These women are from Fairy Tail!" "I heard they're lookin' for some treasure these days!" "hey!" "That's perfect!" "How about giving that treasure to us?" "Information's leaked out... we've made enemies of Legion." "It's no surprise that information got out." "hey!" "This grub is delicious!" "Great timing!" "I was starvin'!" "Good stuff!" "Even though it was my first time..." "This was the first picnic of my life!" "Requip!" "Thunder Empress Armor!" "That's why you're mad?" "!" "Her switch has been flipped!" "Erza-san is kind of scary..." "Now you're going to pay!" "A love triangle..." "Juvia only has eyes for Gray-sama but... but if this situation deepens Juvia's relationship with Gray-sama... too." "why are you tagging along?" "!" "Because there's no way someone like you would be able to find the clock part." "What was that?" "!" "You're not suited to take on a complicated mission like this in the first place." "even after seven years." "it's possible that your mind has atrophied during that time." "atrophied"?" "!" "let alone seven years!" "Juvia only has eyes for Gray-sama..." "Juvia will try even harder to win over Gray-sama!" "That's so ro-man-tic!" "Not even Natsu's ever said anything like that to me!" "You wanna have a go?" "!" "You get hot under the collar so easily." "you're like a little kid that's full of crap." "Full of crap"?" "!" "That's even worse!" "I'll throw down with you anytime." "searching for the clock piece takes priority." "Just leave it to me." "You..." "Where did you hear that information?" "Everybody knows about it." "Juvia is losing patience..." "I don't understand it..." "Why do I feel so run-down?" "Man Stew..." "I bet it tastes especially good at a time like this!" "Nee-chan!" "It tastes like Man!" "Mira-nee..." "I don't know if cooking right here was the best choice... really?" "Man!" "we're with the Archaeological Society." "Archaeological Society?" "Indeed." "we've heard the rumor that Fairy Tail is seeking out certain clock components." "Where did you hear that?" "does it?" "Information is leaking out..." "Could there be a traitor within the guild?" "!" "What do you mean?" "I'm sure Legion has strict information control." "It's hard to imagine an information leak coming from them." "Which means only someone from the guild could have leaked it..." "There's just no way!" "since I don't know everyone very well yet..." "I feel sick..." "You should be more worried about other things!" "you get sick too much from riding on transportation!" "You were saying...?" "actually." "Why?" "!" "You guys say "actually" too much!" "We've heard that the components have been dispersed and hidden in ruins and churches." "aren't you?" "How do you know all of that?" "Actually... actually." "What do you mean?" "it's thought that story... such as ancient ruins and churches." "there's a hypothesis that the places the girl in the book looks for are modeled on real locations." "we in the Archaeological Society wish to identify those places and protect them as part of our cultural heritage." "you see... we would like you to forget about the clock." "Yes." "Forget about it." "Forget about it?" "I quickly figured out about the ruins..." "And that's when I was a kid..." "Lucy..." "You're smarter than I thought." "There was no need for "than I thought"." "Lucy"?" "Isn't she going a little overboard?" "And is that a horse?" "Is Erza-san okay?" "I wonder why she was fixated on the idea of having a picnic..." "I'll never forget this grudge for as long as I live!" "This is it." "Ruins?" "the piece of the clock is somewhere in these ruins." "How do we look for it?" "Good question..." "Don't give me "good question"!" "Lucy-san!" "Forget about the clock!" "There's no way I can forget about it!" "Why not?" "Because of the last words my father left me before he died!" "He waited for me for seven years..." "My father believed in me and in the end entrusted me to keep chaos from descending on the world." "I can't simply forget something as important as that!" "Lucy-neesan..." "Actually..." "Actually... actually!" "it's a story of beautiful familial love." "Natsu!" "Natsu!" "Natsu-san!" "Natsu-nii!" "isn't it?" "!" "We actually have to save him!" "I feel sick!" "Even waves make him sick?" "!" "Heave-ho..." "Return to your true form!" "I changed back!" "How?" "!" "too! so we saved Natsu and returned him to his rightful form!" "thanks!" "if that's what you wish!" "Thank you!" "I feel sick... wasn't it?" "Heartfilia's... no two ways about it..." "Jean-Luc?" "Jude... the destination your daughter will reach is..." "Hey..." "There ain't nothin' here..." "I gotta deal with a labyrinth!" "too!" "right?" "it'd be too easy!" "So you say." "Just don't drag me down!" "Why do you talk like I'm always holdin' you back?" "!" "You never realized it?" "Next time:" "Labyrinth Rhapsody!" "I think I more than hold up my own!" "That's what they call "getting a swollen head"!" "my head's blowin' up like a balloon?" "! Huh?" "Something's shining!" "Natsu-nii..." "This is delish!" "Michelle made all of this!" "Eat up!" "Romeo!" "Um..." "What is this?" "I'd say... isn't it?" "But how did this get here?" "back off!" "Wait!" "Cut it out!" "It looks like magic doesn't work on it... we'll get nothing out of it if you break it!" "Jeez!" "I wonder if there's a way to turn it on... is this..." "A keyhole?" "!" "right?" "But we don't have a key... then leave it to me!" "Ebi..." "So would you open this lock?" "the life of any hair and makeup artist-ebi?" "It's my fault..." "It's all my fault..." "Don't cry!" "Okay-ebi!" "That was easy..." "Men!" "I knew he could do it!" "Wonderful!" "It was a cinch-ebi!" "I-I have a bad feeling about this..." "Labyrinth Rhapsody!" "this way... huh?" "So this is it?" "It's obviously suspicious... the only thing to do is go inside." "Forbidden!" "It is forbidden to enter!" "Looks like a gatekeeper..." "Yeesh..." "Sorry..." "But we don't have time to play!" "What the hell is this?" "!" "Our magic had no effect on it!" "I am impervious under my gaze!" "Magic has no effect...?" "Pain in the ass..." "Those eyes..." "Maybe..." "So its eyes are its weakness!" "Nice job figuring that out!" "so Juvia thought maybe..." "It's opening!" "That's my Juvia-chan!" "Please don't use "-chan" with my name!" "let's just go inside." "The remains of a church..." "That mark..." "Zentopia?" "What are those rocks for?" "All of them have engravings on the surface..." "Why don't we split up for now and look for anything that might be a part?" "I'll look around the perimeter." "I'll check out the inside." "That mark..." "These rocks are really suspicious." "Think I'll test them out..." "What's this?" "they move in the direction of their arrows." "But for what?" "Juvia-chan?" "Juvia-chan thinks..." "Juvia told you to stop using "chan" with her name!" "What?" "!" "Th-Then you don't mind if I address you casually?" "!" "J-Juvia!" "Morons..." "This isn't playtime!" "Gray-sama is jealous!" "This is what Juvia's been waiting for!" "We didn't come here to goof off!" "Think about what we should do with these rocks!" "Right..." "Don't scold Juvia-san!" "Um..." "The Zentopia crest over there..." "Isn't there something a little strange about it?" "Now that you mention it..." "It is a little off... it should be more like this..." "I see..." "Maybe..." "What are you gonna do?" "Move the rocks..." "You still don't get it?" "So that's it!" "You're slow on the uptake." "Right there?" "Now all we need to do is hit these four arrows with magic at the same time..." "Nothing's happening." "Wait..." "Juvia!" "Juvia is moved!" "The light from our magic?" "It's so bright!" "Is it gonna throw somethin' else at us?" "Hey..." "Is everyone okay?" "Aye... anyway..." "I thought we were done for." "Where's Michelle?" "!" "We'll pull her out on three!" "Two... three!" "Are you alright?" "!" "huh?" "Scary!" "Same as before." "Magic doesn't work on it." "huh?" "leave it to me!" "It probably opens when you say the right magic words." "I'll start with the cliche..." "Open sesame!" "Why "sesame"?" "sez me!" "Hell if I know!" "huh?" "Then let's try using word combinations that are similar..." "Sesame Street!" "Curry!" "Grilled fish!" "Caviar!" "Sesame sauce!" "Steak!" "Boiled fish!" "Truffles!" "Sesame seed bun!" "Hamburger!" "Raw fish!" "Foie gras!" "Romeo!" "please open!" "So we just had to be polite?" "Huh?" "That's the mark of Zentopia. these ruins are called the Sacred Graveyard. but its existence has never been proven." "Then..." "We're the first ones here!" "I see..." "This is what those old men were going on about..." "It would be unbearable for them if this place were destroyed." "Like by Natsu... shut up!" "The door..." "We're trapped in here?" "!" "Don't panic." "at a time like this... we'd do this." "And then what would happen?" "A hidden door would open!" "Hey!" "What are those things?" "!" "G-Grotesque..." "Huh?" "Handsome couples?" "Handsome how?" "!" "This is totally a trap!" "We're gonna get squished!" "Bastards!" "Don't!" "Hot!" "Hot!" "Hot!" "Hot!" "What are you doing?" "!" "It just seemed like the thing to do!" "I've got it!" "If I move this back like it was..." "Wait a second!" "Th-That was close..." "How are we going to get out of here?" "!" "By turning this the opposite way!" "Maybe..." "That's what it's for?" "Hey!" "This time from above?" "!" "Huh?" "!" "We got no other choice!" "Once more into the nostrils!" "the nostrils are blocked off!" "Any ideas?" "!" "Hey!" "Talk about escaping from reality!" "is it?" "Virgo!" "Why are you in a swimsuit?" "!" "Are you able to summon two at the same time now?" "!" "she says." "But the princess is almost out of magic." "So... why the swimsuit?" "Do you dislike young women in swimsuits?" "she says." "Certainly!" "It's the same thing over and over!" she says." "Gray-sama..." "Jeez..." "Wait'll you see where we got blown away to..." "It seems we've been teleported here." "Are we meant to grow through that gate with all the arrow rocks?" "Then the clock parts or whatever are at the end of it?" "right?" "Probably..." "But who thought up this roundabout crap?" "Spicy!" "Sugar Boy!" "I am! but I didn't know how to get to this dimension..." "I'm here thanks to you second-rate wizards!" "huh?" "Bastard..." "You followed us?" "!" "I'll have no more use for you." "so I can guess where to find the part." "We're not letting you in there!" "Spicy!" "Suck your thumbs and observe!" "boys and girls!" "Shit!" "What the hell are you?" "!" "This feels gross!" "You two got caught?" "!" "This is that asshole's magic!" "That's right!" "I do Dog Whistle magic." "I can make these pretty hound dogs do whatever I want." "Dogs?" "!" "All-righty!" "Time to say bye-bye." "Hold on!" "I'll freeze and shatter that junk!" "Forget about us!" "Gray-sama!" "Alright... so be careful!" "Who are you talking to?" "We're both Ul's pupils." "This is nothing." "I figured..." "I wonder if you'll follow me Ice Boy!" "I've had enough of your crap!" "I'm gonna make you regret the hell out of ever making' an enemy out of Fairy Tail!" "I don't see any sign of Ice Boy." "I guess he was just all talk..." "Oh!" "Surprise!" "When did you get here?" "!" "but I caught up to you." "You realized this gate goes around in a loop." "Impressive." "All it took was a little observation." "It seems I need to have it out with you once and for all." "The result will be no different than in Edolas." "I'm gonna kick your ass!" "That?" "!" "Wonderful!" "You ain't gettin' it!" "Why are you stripping?" "!" "It's my thing!" "see." "You caught me off guard with that!" "Unbelievable..." "W-Why..." "Why is my heart going pitter-patter?" "Huh?" "Where's Virgo?" "Behind you..." "What are you doing?" "!" "is it?" she asks." "No... but why are you in there?" "she says." "Looks like we're in another weird place." "I say we keep goin'." "I repaired this for you." "Fleuve d'Etoile?" "!" "Huh?" "It's just a normal whip now." "I upgraded it so it responds when you need it." "Virgo!" "And with that I will take my leave." "So she wants to crack the whip." "That's her character." "I can hear you!" "Let's move on!" "Aye!" "there's no door or anything!" "Look at these statues!" "aren't they?" "All of them?" "!" "Maybe there's another hidden device... but after what happened in that last room... wanting to touch something even more when you know you shouldn't..." "What the heck are you doing?" "!" "so the blood suddenly rushed to my head..." "You're something else..." "Is that the earth rumbling?" "I think something's coming closer..." "It looks like breaking the thing was the right answer!" "I don't know about that... my ass!" "Brilliant Blaze of the Fire Dragon!" "it doesn't work!" "When are you gonna learn?" "!" "A bridge!" "Three of them!" "Maybe one of them is the real thing... probably." "We don't got time to think it over!" "The right one!" "Left!" "The middle one!" "Romeo-san!" "Who's correct?" "!" "Um... with the middle bridge!" "Hurry up!" "Romeo was right!" "W-Wait a second!" "What's that?" "!" "too?" "!" "I don't think it's gonna let us pass!" "huh?" "!" "Alright!" "We're gonna time this right an' then jump!" "It's impossible!" "We gotta do it!" "Natsu-nii... you pick up Lucy and Michelle!" "grab onto me!" "I-I can do it myself!" "Alright!" "Give it a shot!" "but no way can I haul Lucy!" "What are you tryin' to say?" "!" "Here they come!" "I did it!" "Romeo!" "My right arm's gonna rip off!" "Enough already!" "Romeo!" "Grab on with fire!" "Alright!" "Nee-san!" "You can count on me!" "but I need your help..." "Fleuve d'Etoile!" "Natsu!" "Romeo!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Y-Yeah..." "More or less..." "So now what do we do?" "Right now... the only way is down." "Down..." "At this height?" "li'l doggy!" "Yes!" "Not so fast!" "spicy!" "Or more like... cold!" "Ice Make:" "Floor!" "Hot!" "yes!" "What?" "!" "What the...?" "!" "Gray-sama and the bad guy disappeared?" "!" "No." "My bet is they returned to our world." "In which case... too... just the two of us." "really..." "It's bad for Juvia!" "Don't get mad." "I was kidding." "Juvia is tired." "It's this magic that's doing it." "I don't think so..." "Alright." "Time to make a real effort..." "You're in position to do Iced Shell?" "!" "Don't tell me..." "Relax!" "I'm just gonna release some magic." "Focus on not getting caught up in its effect!" "Okay." "You shattered it!" "Let's go!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing!" "I need to get to Gray-sama quickly!" "The exit is over there." "Gimme the part!" "You'll have to pry it from my... cold... dead..." "I'll... you know?" "too!" "I'm not like that!" "Ice Boy?" "I'll just have to deliver my hot feelings... directly!" "Hot!" "right?" "!" "too..." "This goop... ain't nothin'..." "I can't handle!" "Ice Boy!" "Gray!" "How long are you gonna let this goofball walk all over you?" "!" "Get a hold of yourself!" "Don't bring shame on Ul!" "Son of a bitch!" "This wasn't the fault of Ul's magic!" "I was still just holdin' back!" "Gray-sama!" "Together!" "Let's go!" "Like I said!" "You're gonna regret the hell out of ever making' an enemy out of Fairy Tail!" "Oh... beautiful..." "I'm taking this." "And so... you're taking along my heart...?" "What is this?" "This is the lowest level of the graveyard..." "It looks more like a town than a graveyard..." "The gravekeeping priests lived here while they tended the graves." "but spent their whole lives here." "Or so the legend goes..." "We gotta look for the part in this huge place?" "can't you sniff it out?" "It's the same as it was with the clock hand..." "I'm not really familiar with the smell." "Wait..." "No..." "This smell is..." "I'm getting a chill." "I have a bad feeling..." "My hunch was right!" "isn't it?" "do you know why we came here?" "right?" "I'll leave you behind!" "It's rare for you to be serious." "What's wrong?" "don't you?" "!" "Natsu!" "Next time:" "Footprints of the Myth!" "This ain't no game!" "It's a showdown!" "so stick with me so you don't get lost." "What're you treatin' me like a kid for?" "! Last time on Fairy Tail... and arrived at a giant crypt underneath a desert." "But all kinds of traps were lying in wait for us there." "They're the ones from last time!" "huh?" "!" "Samuel told us about "The Key of the Starry Heavens"." "And we know that a part of the clock is here." "huh?" "Isn't that Lulu-chama over there?" "!" "Who you callin' "Lulu-chama"?" "!" "He didn't call you that before..." "His pet name has gotten even more embarrassing... indeed!" "It's proof that we're joined by the red string of fate!" "That's not for you to decide!" "L-O-V-E!" "I'm gonna get you back for last time!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "I don't have time to bother with you." "I'm facing a major turning point in my life!" "Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot!" "Lucy-neesan!" "be careful!" "he's got that great nuisance of a shield!" "Run!" "Footprints of the Myth!" "They're not chasing us..." "Maybe we got lucky and they got buried." "Just like I planned!" "You're such a liar!" "we've gotta search for that part!" "Oh-ho!" "we need to establish the bond of love!" "Would you stop calling me that?" "!" "finding that part takes priority!" "We have an important duty to carry out!" "too!" "You don't know..." "L-O-V-E!" "I'm sick of hearin' that!" "Hot-hot-hot-hot!" "Nee-san is on fire!" "Crap!" "I did it again!" "Anybody who dares interfere with two people in love will get sliced up like a fish and put back together on the table!" "I don't know what he means..." "Happy Lucky!" "Natsu-san!" "you'll shrink again like last time!" "I know it!" "I don't wanna get trampled by you again!" "I'm not done yet!" "Nee-san!" "What is this?" "!" "no!" "Forgive me!" "I didn't mean to do it!" "I shrunk the woman that I love!" "I-I'm a failure as a lover!" "then get me back to normal!" "Of course!" "W-What?" "!" "This actually isn't so bad!" "A tiny Lulu-chama has a charm that I'm reluctant to give up!" "I think I'll keep you like this as my mascot!" "You gotta be kidding me!" "I think I will leave you like this." "I'll put you on my desk and appreciate you at my leisure!" "I'm not room decoration!" "we'll always be together." "He's made Lucy-nee into a strap!" "But she is cute like this!" "I kind of want one myself!" "Stop talking stupid and help me!" "the woman that I love and I are one!" "There is nothing that I fear!" "So let's get back to what we were doing!" "we've got to look for that part!" "I've got him right where I want him!" "You go on ahead!" "Dan-san!" "too!" "But we can't leave Lucy-neesan like that!" "that's right!" "The Celestial Spirits!" "I open thee!" "Sagittarius!" "You called-moshimoshi?" "What's going on here-moshimoshi?" "too?" "! as it were-moshimoshi!" "Take this!" "I shall attack with all my might!" "This is perfect!" "I had a little bone caught between my teeth from the fish I had for breakfast this morning." "as it were-moshimoshi!" "starting with you!" "Sagittarius!" "Sorry!" "I stepped on another little one!" "That's enough." "You can go back!" "as it were-moshimoshi!" "We're not getting anywhere this way." "I've got it!" "what would you say to getting married to Lucy-neesan right here?" "Why would we do that?" "!" "isn't it?" "I think it would be perfect!" "That's a good idea!" "You know this is a graveyard..." "Then let's figure out the bridal plan right away!" "Right!" "I'll leave the details to you!" "we'll want to invite about 50 friends and relatives to the ceremony." "It looks like it'll be a gorgeous wedding!" "you'll go on a 'round-the-world cruise!" "How romantic!" "You two will be happily married for the rest of your lives that decorates the night sky!" "That's wonderful!" "The dawn of my life is near!" "I can't keep up with this..." "L-O-V-E!" "Don't forget about me!" "What is this smell?" "didn't you?" "!" "Lucy-nee!" "I can't stand it!" "The smoke is trapped in my armor and I think I'm gonna choke on it!" "The red string that binds us...!" "Lucy-nee!" "Hot-hot-hot-hot!" "How many times has this happened to me today?" "!" "get on!" "Give me back my wife!" "You saved me!" "fly us right out of here!" "sir!" "you'll both fall from the weight!" "I'm back to normal!" "no." "I missed the target again." "H-Happy is huge..." "You suck!" "are you?" "!" "I can't move!" "Sorry!" "I stepped on you again!" "I bet you did that on purpose!" "Are you sure this is the right place?" "!" "This is where it said on the map you fools gave me! but I'm out of my element climbing up a cliff!" "Wouldn't this be a lot easier if Lily just gave us a lift to the top?" "!" "we would miss it." "It's no good choosing the easiest way." "Mm-mm." "Quit bitching!" "I'll leave you hangin' here!" "Asshole." "He really ticks me off..." "Hmm..." "It seems like we're completely lost." "I think we've just been going around in circles." "What about the map?" "It doesn't show the route in any detail." "There are just instructions to rely on the signs." "right?" "I wonder if the sign is wrong... pointing it in the wrong direction..." "That kind of prank would be in bad taste. it can lead to a major accident." "But we should be close." "Let's keep moving forward carefully while consulting the map." "I wonder if it is just a prank..." "Or someone purposefully trying to get us off track..." "Happy!" "I'm likely to stomp on you again!" "This is a precious cultural heritage site!" "Don't carelessly destroy it!" "Now's no time to worry about that!" "What a pain!" "Alrighty!" "You're already back to normal." "everyone's back to normal!" "let's look for that clock part!" "Thank goodness!" "But how can we find it when we don't even know where it's hidden?" "It's okay." "I brought the book along for a time like this." "It might provide us with a clue that leads us to the part!" "maybe I'd even be able to find the part by myself!" "Give me that book!" "Stay back!" "Whoa!" "while we have the chance!" "Halt!" "You halt!" "search for the part!" "Got it!" "Leave it to us!" "Careful you don't get stepped on!" "I ain't gettin' stepped on!" "Wait!" "How dare you get in my way again!" "This is gonna be the last time!" "Stop!" "Get away from us!" "where's the part?" "!" "Um... um... ow!" "This again?" "!" "What a time to run out of magic..." "Hold this!" "Grab on!" "I refuse to accept mercy from the enemy!" "Don't be stubborn!" "Just hurry up!" "are you alright?" "!" "I'm in one piece..." "Hold on!" "I'll come down to help you out!" "don't!" "Hurry up and find the part instead!" "We'll regroup somewhere eventually!" "that Coco girl is down there with her... so I'd say there's nothing to worry about." "Yeah." "Let's do as Lucy-nee told us." "be careful!" "too!" "Ow... are you alright?" "Mind your own business! I would've been able to get back up on my own!" "Is that how you talk to someone who tried to help you out?" "!" "I never asked for any help!" "are you?" "!" "honest girl!" "so don't confuse me with her!" "what are you people aiming to do anyway?" "What are you gonna do if you collect all the clock parts?" "What do you mean by "crusade" and "chaos"?" "!" "why are you people getting in our way?" "!" "so we're just trying to investigate the situation!" "it's a waste of time!" "A bunch of cut-rate wizards like you could never stop us!" "is she nasty!" "Be careful!" "There could be a trap anywhere." "I know..." "The traps are meant for tomb raiders like you and your friends." "You're doing the same thing we are!" "Look out!" "Th-Thanks!" "No need to thank me." "I was just paying you back for trying to help me before." "You really aren't honest about your feelings." "Even though you have the same face and the same speed as the Coco from Edolas..." "Is she really that much like me?" "you really are just about the same person." "too." "we became friends." "that's where we differ." "There's no way you and I are going to be friends." "it's not as if we want to interfere with you. we have to put a stop to it." "Is that your aim?" "I also want to find out what my father was thinking." "right?" "I believe... but I didn't really know him well..." "I'm perplexed as to why he would even go through the trouble of hiding the parts..." "But I wish he would've been a little more empathetic about the people hunting them down." "I'm with you on that one." "What's funny?" "nothing." "I was just thinking you're a funny girl." "Is that an insult?" "I didn't mean it like that..." "Huh?" "A dead end..." "I wonder if we should retrace our steps... are you?" "There's always some kind of switch in a place like this." "Don't touch that!" "Coco!" "Coco!" "Hang in there!" "Lucy!" "Thank goodness!" "You're alright!" "Okay!" "We'll pull you up!" "You should've just left that jerk as she was!" "Never mind!" "Let's just hurry up and look for the part!" "the clock part should be right here..." "I don't see anything that looks like it could be part of a clock." "We finally made it..." "The air's thin up here..." "And it's cold!" "We ain't got time to take a break." "Let's search for that part!" "just a few minutes..." "I can't even take a single step..." "I'm starving... no!" "We're on the wrong mountain!" "The part's on the mountain over there!" "We've gotta climb up that one!" "No way!" "Just kidding..." "I meant to encourage everyone with my little joke... but it seems to have had the opposite effect." "I'm not seeing anything' like a part." "Which means it's probably buried somewhere 'round here..." "What are you gonna do?" "This is it!" "We've found it at last!" "It's said that this place contains books on magic from all times and places..." "The Magic Library..." "Another huge building..." "But it looks like not many people come here..." "What a waste." "Even though it's a repository of knowledge from the past..." "These are all books on magic?" "!" "It's even more impressive than I imagined!" "huh?" "But all of the books are so old..." "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "I don't have all day to waste on you!" "That's my line!" "This is going to end it!" "I'll see you plunge into a ditch!" "I ain't gonna succumb!" "I'm smellin' something familiar..." "A smell?" "Yeah." "The smell of someone who helped me before when I had motion sickness...?" "he attacked me...?" "Those are two totally different things." "Was the person a good guy or bad guy?" "let's split the difference and say he's a minor villain who acts worse than he really is." "Next time:" "True Evil Revisited!" "So what does it smell like?" "I guess the smell of black full body tights..." "There's a smell for that?" "!" "My fake out worked!" "I ain't done yet!" "It wouldn't be interesting if you were!" "Is this really it?" "I think so." "Here's what "Key of the Starry Heavens" says:" "surrounded by voices in prayer." "right?" "But is there a place in here where it could be kept hidden?" "I'll get a bird's-eye view! Erza and her team were face-to-face with something bizarre in the Magic Library." "What is this?" "I don't know..." "Ow!" "Run!" "Who's gonna clean this up?" "True Evil Revisited!" "The Jiggle Butt Gang!" "Goddess!" "I missed you!" "Was it you bastards?" "The ones that did something unspeakably terrible to Wendy that last time?" "!" "Terrible?" "!" "Did you not put Wendy in a horrendous outfit?" "!" "Outfit...?" "You mean this?" "!" "That's..." "She was happy to wear it!" "It looked good on her!" "It's ripped to shreds!" "To make Wendy wear that hideous costume..." "You people are fiends!" "That's right!" "Poor thing! Carla has been having nightmares about it!" "an army of Wendys in black full body tights chases me around!" "That nightmare has come back to haunt me..." "Carla!" "Stay with me!" "eh?" "assemble!" "sir!" "Did you hear that?" "!" "We're "terrible"!" "Boss?" "!" "Boss?" "!" "Lackey B. That one's a cat..." "Terrible?" "We're terrible?" "!" "That's right!" "We're the truly evil Jiggle Butt Gang!" "We already know your name." "so you better put all those books back!" "you two!" "Boss!" "Don't talk back!" "give me 36 push-ups!" "Wha...?" "!" "A half-assed number again..." "Just do it!" "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10..." "What is this?" "Are they really comedians?" "We're not comedians!" "We use farts to steal by force!" "That was a really manly thing to say!" "Truly evil deeds!" "What about your push-ups?" "We finished 'em!" "What were you doing here?" "Everyone in the criminal underworld knows..." "Fairy Tail is searching for an incredible treasure that will turn the world upside down! the Jiggle Butt Gang will become the rulers of the world!" "No!" "Carla..." "Why are you wearing that?" "so I came prepared." "That's our goddess!" "It feels wonderful!" "I wanna follow you the rest of my life!" "have you forgotten what I said?" "Give up being truly evil and study for the sake of your own future!" "You're actually good people." "You're only forcing yourselves to act like you're evil!" "find your true selves!" "Our true selves...?" "Please remember what it was like when you were children." "playing 'til the sun went down... sharing your dreams..." "I'm sure you'll be able to see your true selves." "I wonder how serious she is..." "I have a feeling she's totally serious..." "Boss!" "What should we do?" "!" "lackeys!" "What kind of truly evil criminals would cry over this?" "!" "I think being truly evil is our true selves!" "then tell us!" "What are the true selves of the Jiggle Butt Gang?" "!" "What are you doing?" "I'm saying I'll play along with your idea." "But then you have to go along with one of our rules!" "don't!" "Fine." "Are you... alright?" "What's that flower?" "I picked it while we were on our picnic." "It smells good." "One point to glam it up!" "Impressive!" "This isn't so uncomfortable." "right?" "!" "But let me ask you something." "How proud are you of these black suits?" "Proud?" "That's right." "I'm sure you have one or two things." "Your own philosophy of evil." "I'd like you to tell me about the art of evil." "have you forgotten why we're really here?" "No." "I refuse to dance to the tune of morons calling themselves "truly evil"." "I'm going to beat the warped nature out of you!" "jiggle!" "Now's our chance." "I think this is Erza-san's strategy." "right?" "I don't know about that." "Erza looks too serious." "what Wendy said makes sense." "Take this." "I'll contact you through this." "Okay!" "You're staying here?" "so..." "Do you actually like that outfit...?" "let's go!" "I keep thinking about Legion." "Oh yeah?" "They involved people who have nothing to do with this by spreading the word..." "Is chaos what they're after?" "Maybe both chaos and confusion... we have to..." "This is probably the place that Lucy guessed." "Time sleeps on a pillow of ancient magic wisdom." "That line is a clue." "A pillow of wisdom?" "All of these books are on ancient magic." "This ancient wisdom is from an age before printing technology and had to be transcribed by hand." "The knowledge and techniques from that ancient age have only been preserved at the Magic Library." "And the clock part is somewhere in here?" "It must be hidden..." "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Crap!" "It's blinding!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "What are you laughin' for?" "!" "Your magic isn't so hot. but your attacking power isn't as impressive as it looks." "What?" "!" "Samuel was telling us." "He said time stopped for you people for seven years." "Which means your magic is at the level it was seven years ago!" "So what?" "!" "I was building myself up." "here I am!" "There's no way I'll lose to a man from seven years ago!" "I don't know what the hell it is you're proud of!" "But it's neither here nor there!" "I'm always at full power!" "Brilliant Blaze of the Fire Dragon!" "It's useless!" "Him..." "Natsu-nii!" "Natsu!" "Natsu!" "Lun-lun!" "I found you!" "Him again!" "And his nickname for her has changed again... come to me!" "Shut up!" "You butt out!" "You didn't learn your lesson!" "You did it again!" "Lu-tan..." "Stay away from me!" "Take this!" "Don't you have the capacity to learn either?" "!" "Natsu!" "Na...tsu... did you?" "Michelle?" "We didn't know this black costume had a secret like that!" "lackeys?" "Boss!" "what should we do?" "I don't know how to react to that story..." "I can't cry." "So you spilled ink on a T-shirt when you were a kid so you dyed the whole thing black with ink." "How is that worthy of tears?" "!" "It's a heroic story!" "You're soft!" "That isn't evil!" "What?" "!" "your subordinates fawn on you because you do that kind of thing!" "you have to set an example for your followers!" "You're kind of getting off track again... you!" "Give me 100 push-ups!" "What?" "!" "first show them how it's done!" "too!" "Give me 100 honest push-ups!" "What?" "!" "Boss!" "Make her eat crow by knockin' out 100 push-ups!" "Nobody says "eat crow" these days..." "Boss!" "Please!" "Those gazes full of hope make my heart ache..." "I'll do it!" "Fine." "I'll do it." "lackeys!" "This is truly evil!" "He's so fast!" "The Boss never disappoints!" "Um..." "Maybe you should pace yourself... things are messed up beyond all recognition at the Magic Library." "too." "fire." "You'll just end up destroying this place." "he's right!" "We mustn't use magic here!" "Dammit!" "Lu-pyon!" "let's continue with our wedding ceremony!" "Enough already!" "Wait for me!" "Do it by yourself!" "Michelle!" "Do something!" "we need to get him out of here!" "He doesn't know yet that the part might be in here." "But how can we get him out?" "I've got a good idea!" "too." "What?" "What is it?" "too!" "Be a decoy!" "D-Decoy?" "the only thing that can attract Dan's attention... cousin!" "That's great!" "Do it!" "How am I supposed to be a decoy?" "Wedding ceremony!" "Why?" "!" "The important thing is using his feelings!" "Fine!" "Dan!" "Lu-nyan?" "I want you... to come over here..." "Huh?" "She's not being stimulating enough?" "That alone is not gonna do it..." "It's love!" "Catch me if you can!" "alright!" "Wait up!" "He fell for it!" "It's working perfectly!" "Natsu-nii!" "Now!" "Happy!" "sir! we make out okay!" "Romeo!" "Gotcha!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "Natsu-nii!" "How was that?" "!" "He's finally quiet!" "What's this?" "!" "The wall is glowing..." "I-It's huge!" "This is the clock part!" "It was here the whole time?" "!" "The impact just now must have activated the hiding device thing!" "Natsu-nii!" "I knew it would do that... we finally got one!" "Happy?" "this is the first time using Lucy's sexual charms worked!" "You don't have to say it's the first time!" "I found them at last!" "Thirty... eigh... hang in there!" "Show us your spirit!" "M-My arms... huh?" "Are you okay?" "I'm not givin' in..." "The Jiggle Butt Gang's pride and joy... is this!" "Lackeys!" "Gas-Butt..." "Triple..." "Ecstasy!" "get out of the way!" "W-What... is this?" "!" "I kind of remember this smell!" "Cana!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Cana..." "Huh?" "A secret passage..." "Maybe it opened thanks to that smell..." "Though it's still lingering in my nostrils..." "This has to be it!" "The part of the clock..." "I guess we should be grateful for that stink." "Did you see our power?" "!" "What a... vulgar skill..." "Cana-san found the part!" "The treasure?" "!" "In that case..." "Point Blank..." "Ecstasy!" "Erza-san!" "How are we going to carry this out?" "Eat this!" "That's what you get!" "And the butts get the last laugh!" "How are you going to make this up to me?" "You dared befoul my memento?" "!" "Divine punishment!" "We'll be back!" "They're gone..." "I hope they don't come back again... are you alright?" "My head is still reeling." "how are we going to carry this?" "What?" "We can just bring it along with my things." "not yet?" "just dig!" "Jeez!" "Slave driver... we have no choice..." "What's wrong?" "Somebody's watching us." "What?" "!" "Somebody..." "Who?" "!" "You noticed?" "A Legionnaire!" "What do you want?" "!" "isn't it?" "We want the same thing." "imagine you and I are both hungry." "There are two fish in front of us." "What would you do?" "Eat both of them." "what if there were four fish?" "I'd eat all four." "I-I see... too?" "Happy." "How would you split it?" "Next time:" "Something Beyond Reckoning!" "I would eat all the meat and you would eat the bones." "that's splitting fifty-fifty!" "but at least you care." "too?" "!" "I believe this is our first time meeting." "Shall I introduce myself?" "I'm Samuel." "You're that Exceed Natsu and the others were talking about!" "That's right." "I'm usually referred to as "the brains of Legion"." "This is the clock part?" "It's bigger than I thought it'd be..." "If we don't find some way to get it out of here..." "Hey!" "Still got fight left in you?" "!" "No." "I've lost completely." "I manfully acknowledge my defeat." "So now will you tell us about Legion's goal?" "Yeah!" "Like what that clock is and the reason you're collecting the parts..." "We'd appreciate an explanation." "already!" "I might as well give in and tell you everything!" "I'll fill you in on who I am and what my aim is." "Let's begin!" "Why with a picture-story?" "Something Beyond Reckoning!" "was born in a town called Cedar." "They had knights there that protected the town and the church." "People depended on them." "The people in my family were knights for generation after generation. and had a happy childhood." "those peaceful days didn't last long." "a civil war flared up that split the town in half." "You have a surprisingly hard past..." "Then your family became embroiled in the battle too and suffered..." "No." "The battle was over after half a day and none of my kin were harmed." "too." "That was fast!" "Wasn't it more of just a fight than "civil war"?" "But now I'm getting to the main point!" "there was a beautiful girl who went to my school my first love." "that girl was missing!" "Missing?" "Then she was caught up in the battle..." "Did she lose her life that day...?" "That girl bore a slight resemblance to Lu-nyan." "It's so sad!" "huh?" "you know?" "So what happened to the girl?" "The next day..." "I found her and she was fine!" "What's that?" "! but it seems she was frightened by how happy that made her." "I'm not worthy of Dan-san's love." "too." "The pictures don't really seem to match the story..." "She obviously didn't like him." "and I shed tears for three days and nights." "I embarked on a sentimental journey." "I happened across various women." "huh?" "You weren't chasing the image of the first girl you fell in love with?" "that wasn't it at all!" "I'd be happy with any woman in the vicinity who caught my eye." "That offends me for some reason... there was a compelling reason why we couldn't be together." "Love and peace aren't permitted." "That's the fate of a knight who lives to fight." "the story and pictures don't match up." "I bet they all turned him down." "who drew these pictures?" "Hughes and Sugar Boy drew them based on my diary and photos." "so the truth is mixed in with something else." "I'm positive the drawings are a better representative of what really happened." "I became a Legionnaire." "I'm following Byro-sama's instructions to gather the parts of the clock." "The end!" "I explained who I am and what I'm after!" "And they all lived happily ever after!" "Um..." "What we want to know is what Legion is and what Legion is after!" "I can't talk about Legion's secrets!" "Byro-sama would punish me!" "Then what was that story of yours?" "!" "it turned out he has a humdrum past..." "I was talking about myself so you would get to know me better!" "Lu-nyan!" "Lu-nyan!" "Yeesh." "I've so had enough of him..." "Natsu-nii?" "There's no point in hanging out with the likes of him." "Lu-nyan!" "Get away from me!" "But we can't leave yet." "Let's get married!" "Never!" "Lu-nyan!" "We promised to rendezvous with the other members of the guild here." "come on!" "well." "Guess there's nothin' to do but wait." "help me!" "Huh?" "What happened to the other Legionnaire?" "You mean Coco!" "Maybe she got hurt again somewhere..." "More likely she escaped." "There's no need to worry about her." "She's the enemy." "But I think that girl is kind and sincere at heart." "That's the same as me!" "Stay away from me!" "Wait for me!" "I don't want to hurt her..." "Get away!" "Let's get married!" "Coco?" "!" "so you've got to carry out your mission!" "Sammy!" "Don't take it upon yourself to abbreviate my name." "It's Samuel." "I'll take care of him." "The rest of you find that clock part as soon as possible." "Panther Lily... older than me." "I suppose you're like a "big brother" figure to me." "You got no reason to call me your big brother!" "Don't be so cold." "don't you think..." "Nii-san?" "Sammy?" "!" "Lily's right!" "Let's hurry and dig up that part!" "alright... but you better not lose!" "you supported the humans and went through hell because of it." "It was based on faith." "I don't think it was a mistake." "It seems you're not favored by nature." "You should face things in a more clever manner." "Like me... and then act accordingly." "it appears that you and I..." "Sammy?" "!" "Now you're talking..." "Here I come!" "Brains aren't my only strong point!" "But I'll show you what I mean!" "What is this?" "!" "Ruins with weird faces..." "Tryin' to get away?" "!" "Stay here an' face me fair and square!" "Clashing with each other directly is what slow-witted beings so." "and results before fighting! We're trained to deal with every type of situation!" "What?" "!" "This is all working out according to my calculations." "I impress myself!" "you've fallen somewhere around here." "Sammy!" "Nii-san." "You won't be able to get me with the same trick twice!" "Gajeel and them are probably about to dig up that part any second now!" "You have no chance!" "I don't know about that." "These ruins are mined with various traps." "Traps?" "!" "What the hell?" "I don't see anything that could be part of a clock." "something's written on here." "I'm hungry." "Hey!" "Here." "Isn't this like the face of a clock?" "Then... it's indicating snack time?" "That's it!" "right?" "I told you I've got more going for me than smarts alone!" "too!" "Gajeel..." "Be careful!" "We finally found it!" "It's a clock face!" "What are you doing?" "!" "This thing's made of iron." "Isn't there any other way you could've figured that out?" "Something's written on it." "Let's see if I can decipher it." "We don't got that kinda time!" "W-Wait!" "It says:" "Warning!" "The stone guardian won't abide by anyone trying to steal this!" "This is why I told you to wait!" "Careless blunderer!" "You're sayin' this is my fault?" "!" "Gajeel!" "This is no time to argue!" "It seems they've activated something." "But this is also according to my calculations." "You..." "That's why you separated me from Gajeel and the rest?" "!" "Nii-san." "so I had to keep you apart from them." "It looks like that red thing on its head is what controls the rock!" "Then that must be its weak point!" "Alright!" "Time for Shadow Gear to show off some teamwork!" "we have to get it to stand still!" "Solid Script!" "Oil!" "I'm up next!" "Chain Plant!" "And I'll finish it off!" "High Speed!" "Did you see?" "That's Shadow Gear's teamwork!" "Not too shabby." "Jet!" "Leave it to me!" "Are you okay?" "The oil is all sticky!" "Here it comes!" "Let's try this one more time!" "Jet!" "Crap!" "I can't use High Speed like this!" "Then I'll give it a try!" "I should've gone on a diet..." "It looks like I've got to do it..." "Get outta the way!" "you shouldn't use that tone..." "Nii-san!" "Are you an Exceed that was sent to Earthland too?" "Happy and Carla." "Then why are you an ally of Legion?" "both of whom are in the same circumstances?" "!" "I was found and raised by Zentopia." "too!" "More important to me than Exceeds or Edolas is repaying my obligation to Legion!" "Almost there!" "Gajeel!" "Gotta find a way to reach that head..." "Gajeel!" "Nii-san!" "And that thing is going to dispose of your friends!" "the plan is for me to leisurely collect that part." "Crap!" "My strength fails me when I got an empty stomach!" "That's right!" "If I eat this..." "What are you talking about?" "!" "Of course you can't eat that!" "Don't be so serious!" "I was kiddin'!" "not when you're involved!" "Run!" "That thing's trying to take the clock face back!" "If that's the case you take it!" "What are you gonna do?" "!" "Gajeel!" "What?" "!" "Secret Dragon Slayer Art!" "Karma Demon:" "Iron God Sword!" "I took care of this one!" "Now hurry up and finish him!" "I can't believe it..." "It's impossible!" "How can there be someone who doesn't match my calculations?" "!" "I don't know what to do when things don't go according to plans!" "Does not compute!" "Does not compute!" "you have to respond and cope with it." "Sammy." "Don't call me that!" "You're wide open!" "You're not a bad fighter." "Try me again sometime." "I'll fight whenever you want." "I lost." "Now I know that there are some people in the world whose actions I can't calculate." "You realized you're inexperienced." "Nii-san!" "I'll do more detailed calculations you musclebound cat!" "That's right!" "I have to make note of all the data from today's battle!" "Who you callin' musclebound?" "!" "huh?" "He called you "Nii-san"!" "I don't remember becoming his big brother!" "Nee-chan!" "The lake..." "Lisanna must have found something." "Lisanna." "you know?" "What does that mean?" "let's collect this piece and take it back to the guild." "Where did you throw that?" "!" "Huh?" "I can just take the part without any trouble." "You're Mary Hughes from Legion!" "weren't you?" "!" "That's right." "What could be easier than letting you find the part and then snatching it?" "I'm so smart!" "Even though it was Samuel's idea..." "You again?" "!" "Give the part back!" "Crap!" "the result will be the same." "you're the puppets of Mary Hughes." "I'm surprised they don't get tired of that." "I'm startin' to get hungry." "You're such a pest!" "It's so I can be bound to my soul mate!" "you said any girl would do!" "This may be a silly question... who's right over there?" "Um... but I like girls who are spunkier." "right?" "You insulted me like it's nothing!" "Princess?" "Lu-nyan!" "Wait for me!" "Virgo!" "What are you here for?" "!" "Come on!" "Lu-nyan!" "Let's get married!" "so I thought maybe I could be of service..." "Princess"?" "Then she's the princess of something?" "!" "I see!" "That's why she's so beautiful!" "Princess?" "there's nothing I really need you to do..." "Are you a maid?" "so I can have a good time with the one I love!" "but I could do a fun dance... you don't have to listen to what Dan says!" "That's a lovely dance!" "It reminds me of a traditional dance back in my hometown!" "That's the first time anyone has ever complimented me on this dance." "They've got the same taste?" "!" "right?" "so I'm going to disappear." "Call me anytime." "What did you come out for?" "!" "Dear me." "I came to see what the outcome was..." "That voice..." "Byro-sama!" "That stupid octopus!" "Coco." "Byro-sama!" "but he's kind of lost sight of the objective." "I happened to come across my soul mate on this holy ground..." "Divine retribution?" "Both of you leave and contemplate your lack of competence." "That's Uncle Jude's..." "Octopus Man!" "That clock hand is Lucy's!" "I'm gonna beat the crap outta you!" "you heard him!" "Fine." "Come and get me." "What the hell is with these people?" "Goin' on about holy grounds and stuff... huh?" "I just want 'em to start something with me!" "We'd be better off if everybody was as simple as you." "Is it just me or does that sound not so much like a compliment?" "I never said it was a compliment." "Next time:" "The Whereabouts of the Crusade!" "did I?" "!" "This is my retaliation for not having much to do lately." "but now I can't say anything... So here's where you were." "Al..." "What are you reading?" "It's "Key of the Starry Heavens"." "right?" "Huh?" "Does the book end like this?" "Uh-huh." "Is something wrong?" "Master..." "What's wrong?" "You're rather quiet..." "It's nothing." "I bet you're worried about Romeo!" "Somethin' wrong with that?" "!" "I'm his father!" "right?" "You got nothin' to worry about!" "That's why I'm worried..." "What'll I do if Romeo becomes a delinquent?" "Romeo!" "The guy talks like a big shot while he stands on top of an octopus!" "But he fought Gildarts to a standstill..." "So what?" "!" "He's ridin' an octopus!" "An octopus!" "Natsu is setting a bad example..." "I'm worried about Romeo-kun's future!" "right?" "!" "I'm going to eliminate you." "Where the Crusade Will Lead!" "That's some dangerous ink!" "Natsu!" "And it looks so yummy..." "Put your appetite off 'til later." "everyone!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "Um..." "Um..." "What should I do?" "I don't know what to do!" "Coco!" "Watch out!" "Ow..." "Are you okay?" "Um... 7.0..." "Where's Dan-san?" "!" "Over there." "octopus!" "The least you can do is tell the difference between your enemies and allies!" "aren't they?" "!" "They're proud Legionnaires." "They're prepared to lay down their lives for the sake of this crusade." "crusade"?" "!" "And what kind of guy talks about other people's lives like they're nothing?" "!" "This girl's life doesn't belong to Zentopia or you!" "What do you know of what is just?" "This crusade is costing more lives than you people can imagine." "huh?" "Then I'd better get that home soon." "You're not getting it!" "That's a Man!" "Then should we have brother and sisters hurt each other?" "You're making a mistake. brothers sisters brother/sister brother/sister big brother/little brother/big sister/little sister it's proper to say "keiteishimai"." "Yeah?" "!" "That's neither here nor there!" "I'm taking this part with me." "Why are you doing this?" "!" "Why?" "How would I know?" "!" "everything will work out fine." "If you're just doing what you're told you're nothing more than a puppet!" "Is that right?" "Then I'll make puppets out of you!" "what's wrong?" "!" "Mira-nee!" "Second Movement!" "but I'll show it to you just this once!" "Coming out of Mira-nee's body..." "Satan Soul?" "!" "Nee-chan!" "Mira-nee!" "Do away with these adorable siblings!" "No..." "Beast Soul!" "Awesome!" "no..." "What should I do?" "!" "This is friggin' awesome." "Everybody who opposes His Grace are bad guys..." "And I'm gonna punish the bad guys!" "huh?" "It was the first fight I saw between two Exceeds." "you know?" "though..." "By the way..." "Why is that Sammy cat following us?" "Pushy cat..." "I'm not following you." "I'm just observing." "we're not giving you this clock face!" "it's better that I didn't collect it anyway." "What's that mean?" "but..." "Nii-san." "Can I have a moment?" "Look at this!" "There's a table that practically begs us to sit a spell." "How nice!" "Shall we have lunch here?" "That's fine but why are we wearing these Jiggle Butt uniforms?" "!" "And why was there a size that fit me?" "!" "Well prepared means no worries!" "What kind of preparation is this?" "!" "Carla!" "Can she get over it this way?" "they're all into it... to try again to have the first picnic of my life we have to become one in body and soul!" "Is that right?" "We have to go this far for a first picnic...?" "about this time..." "Come on!" "Let's get started!" "Stop right where you are!" "Who gave you permission to have a picnic here?" "!" "Wanna suck some mayonnaise?" "Lackey A!" "Lackey B!" "Tell 'em who owns this plane!" "Boss!" "The owners of this grassy plane are us!" "Diet?" "Low-calorie?" "Get outta here!" "Are you gonna eat that?" "That's right!" "We're the Jiggle Jugs Gang!" "J-Jiggle Jugs?" "There are rules in this plane!" "No girls with a good figure can picnic here!" "Wanna suck some mayonnaise?" "I figured something like this would happen..." "And I put my spare flower in my hair..." "So we're gonna confiscate all your vittles!" "Where's the meat?" "!" "I want meat!" "Suck some mayonnaise?" "You're gonna regret this..." "My first time..." "This was my second try at the first picnic of my life!" "Want some mayonnaise?" "I'll make you pay for this." "Scarlet Sakura!" "It's time for you bastards to learn from top to toe!" "Wanna suck some mayonnaise?" "!" "I knew it would end like this..." "Elfman..." "Lisanna..." "Let go of me!" "Lisanna!" "I'm getting tired of playing..." "I'll finish the three of you off at the same time." "Stop it." "What's so fun about doing this?" "am I? my job is to eliminate those who would oppose His Grace." "Do you know what a crime it is to make an enemy out of Zentopia?" "!" "You're about to find out!" "you don't!" "It's useless!" "This Holy Tact can control your magic! Fairy Tail wizards!" "That power is awesome!" "Maybe I overdid it a little..." "What is this?" "!" "Nee-chan!" "No!" "Don't do it!" "Wha...?" "!" "I don't believe it!" "Another Satan Soul?" "!" "I didn't know you could do that!" "Elf-niichan..." "What's that?" "Lisanna!" "That's not Satan Soul..." "You've never seen it before." "Master forbade her to use it!" "The name is Demon Halphas!" "This octopus tentacle is heavy!" "octopus!" "This will neutralize the poison in that ink!" "Nice timing!" "Where'd you call me from?" "!" "A stinkin' puddle?" "!" "that's all the water there is..." "Lucy... and..." "Aquas?" "Aquarius!" "You caught a Natsu! get it?" "!" "Scorpio and I can be together here..." "I'll do my best!" "That Spirit is setting a bad example..." "Romeo!" "Can you get that octopus to open its mouth?" "!" "Natsu-nii!" "Purple Net!" "Roar of the..." "The idea is to shoot flames right into the octopus's mouth!" "That's kind of nasty..." "Grilled octopus is delicious!" "too." "You underestimated him." "too." "A simple strategy just won't work." "no..." "This isn't good..." "He's got motion sickness already?" "!" "It seems the battle is done." "Kanaloa..." "Collect the part." "you don't!" "My father entrusted the hand of that clock to me!" "give it back to me!" "Why are you people trying to steal the clock parts in the first place?" "Steal?" You make us sound like common thieves." "Safekeeping." "What does that mean?" "!" "That clock is called the Infinity Clock." "Our orders from the Archbishop of Zentopia are to collect its parts." "Infinity Clock?" "Why would the Archbishop of Zentopia want that?" "and then chaos descends..." "Do you know what that means?" "The sentence you keep hearing in your dreams..." "But I don't know what it means... the magic that the Infinity Clock has accumulated is released and comes into action or so it's said." "if the six scattered parts are brought together..." "What will happen?" "Time will be etched... the world will end." "What?" "! a certain magic guild is searching for the Infinity Clock and we're the only ones who can stop them." "In other words we have been given a destiny." "Byro..." "This is a crusade." "If all the pieces of the clock are brought together the world will end?" "Chaos will descend..." "Is that what it means?" "The stakes have suddenly risen..." "Do you understand?" "A magic guild cannot safeguard items like these." "if even one mistake is made in safekeeping them something terrible will happen to the world?" "But..." "There's somethin' fishy about that story!" "What?" "right?" "Then you shouldn't collect them..." "Or are you saying Zentopia should have the destiny of the world in its hands?" "do you?" "!" "If Zentopia makes a mistake it's the end of the world!" "There are no mistakes in our doctrine." "And His Grace never makes mistakes." "That's not true." "Everybody makes mistakes." "That's why there will always be wars." "Everyone knows that." "aren't you?" "Bet anything I'm right!" "then it's that archbishop who's pullin' your strings!" "Let me give him a good clobberin'!" "What is this blasphemy...?" "!" "Kanaloa..." "Natsu-nii!" "This spoils the coolness of his words..." "Kinana?" "!" "Are you okay?" "!" "It's near..." "It's near!" "The end..." "In our hands..." "I can hear it!" "I can hear..." "Don't worry." "She always has fits like this." "where's our former Master?" "for therapy..." "This isn't good... at a time like this...?" "Lisanna!" "How can I?" "You're carrying me!" "This is a breach of the rules!" "Now that's a demon!" "How sinful!" "How sinister!" "I like the teachings of Zentopia." "don't hide them away." "devote yourself to other people." "But you see when someone like you with your way of thinking is a member of Zentopia it makes me sad." "you..." "Say what you want!" "Your Grace!" "Mary is going to break the taboo!" "Please forgive me!" "Now what?" "!" "Look at that!" "Third Movement!" "I take control directly!" "This is the taboo!" "Is this your sin?" "my eyes can't keep up!" "Mira-nee... is kind of scary..." "Turn to ashes!" "No..." "It has no effect on her?" "!" "You've committed a bigger sin than that." "That is using my own magic right in front of me!" "You also hurt my little brother and sister... you're answering to me!" "Get away..." "She's almost there..." "Just thinking about it could set her over the edge!" "What's going to happen?" "S-Stop..." "Bad girl!" "Bad girl!" "Now that's scary..." "Nee-chan demolished an entire city in that form like it was nothing!" "No wonder she's not supposed to use it... yet you still defy us?" "I don't really understand what this end of the world stuff is about..." "But I wanna protect the memento my father left me!" "So as for that clock hand and the rest of the parts we're going to collect all of them!" "You speak sinfully..." "Michelle!" "Run!" "Okay!" "I open thee!" "Taurus!" "Mooost powerful!" "One mooore time!" "Lucy-san!" "Keep the bovine hormones in check and help me!" "Indecent..." "I'm back!" "Natsu!" "100 times' worth!" "sir!" "Fleuve d'Etoile!" "What?" "!" "And then..." "Now!" "Let's go!" "Max speed!" "Plus..." "Sword Edge of the Fire Dragon!" "Can't... hold on..." "A fool's breath cancels out Kanaloa's elasticity and he focuses on just one point..." "This is a guild..." "This is a Fairy Tail wizard?" "!" "All-righty..." "Now you're gonna give back what you took from Lucy." "The time is near." "I believe the scattered parts are all converging towards this location." "But I have to finish things up before they arrive." "Then bring it on!" "What?" "Tell me what? Nii-san and the others are right." "I'm also an Exceed." "Our sense of time is different than humans'." "Nii-san?" "You tryin' to start a fight?" "!" "Just listen. there's something that leaped out at me after reading that book." "I want you to know what it is." "That book..." "You mean "Key of the Starry Heavens"?" "Asuka hates this book!" "The story is weird!" "Your Grace?" "!" "It's close..." "It's so close... and then chaos descends..." "The end is beginning..." "The end..." "There's something else hidden in that book?" "!" "I shall perform my duty." "But it's the same with Edolas..." "No one knows where this crusade will lead" "Nii-san." "Hey!" "Isn't nullifying magic against the rules?" "Pfft!" "I can beat that guy even without magic!" "Even though you were on the receiving end for some time... you couldn't move a muscle..." "I-Idiot!" "Heroes spring into action right after they're in a pinch." "huh?" "Next time:" "The Time Has Begun!" "I think you're closer to an anti-hero..." "I'm a prototypical hero!" "A prototypical hero isn't rough around the edges like you!" "Bring it on!" "The part..." "It's responding..." "The time... has begun?" "!" "Chaos..." "The eternal midnight is coming!" "Let me hear your voice..." "Who are you?" "Tell me..." "Who are you?" "!" "Kanaloa." "Now rest for the time being." "What the...?" "!" "The octopus shrank!" "Down to bite-size..." "It looks yummy!" "Are you a demon?" "!" "The Time Has Begun!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "It's nullified?" "!" "So magic doesn't work... my ass!" "That doesn't matter!" "Bastard!" "We can't beat him like that!" "I open thee!" "It's useless." "What...?" "!" "I can nullify all forms of magic." "That's my magic." "That's not fair!" "That's no different than when we were in Edolas!" "Pain in the ass!" "Natsu!" "Natsu-nii!" "This is nothin'!" "so I'm used to it!" "This kind of fight... no!" "I overslept!" "boy... even Titania confessed her love for me..." "Happy!" "sir!" "What a pain..." "He even cancelled my ability to fly." "Figured it wouldn't work..." "You figured?" "!" "I told you I nullify everything." "Do you listen when someone's talking to you?" "we can't do anything!" "There has to be some way!" "Natsu!" "How are you gonna attack?" "I just thought of somethin' awesome!" "right?" "! it'll be like I beat Gildarts!" "Yeah!" "I'm all fired up!" "Natsu. all you care about is winning or losing for yourself..." "What's wrong with that?" "!" "The weight that we bear on our shoulders is different from yours." "We're prepared to throw away our lives for the sake of our duty." "We're back to that again?" "Coco." "but he's got guts." "The real fight is just about to start." "Hot!" "This is totally hot!" "Salamander and you brats?" "!" "I'm just lookin' forward to a totally hot battle with you doin' your best." "What happened to me?" "!" "You fainted from anemia." "You just need to rest a while." "That's not true." "doesn't it?" "I can't remember any of the time when I was a snake." "But what will happen to me if I do remember?" "!" "Would I be able to stay here?" "You were turned into a snake?" "!" "Yeah." "Although I don't remember anything from then... that my friend made me a promise." "A promise? he would ride a shooting star to come and get me someday." "What the hell is that?" "!" "that girl..." "She's the snake that was hanging around before." "The snake showed signs of being put under a curse... huh?" "and I couldn't detect its purpose... her condition is unstable." "So if she remembers...?" "so we can keep an eye on her..." "Meddling old man!" "Yeesh!" "A voice that only she can hear... it may not be something to celebrate." "Poor kid... huh?" "won't we?" "shmurse!" "You've got nothin' to worry about now!" "we'll protect you." "So just hush up and get some rest." "No..." "Did you just hear something?" "No... ya say?" "What a bunch of crap!" "Lives aren't meant to be tossed away like garbage!" "We're fightin' because of a friend." "we can overcome anything." "Friends ain't some tools that you use!" "And they ain't somethin' you can just throw away!" "That's what life's about!" "How many hits has he taken?" "But wait... wait and see..." "Those eyes don't look anywhere close to giving in." "Everyone..." "Don't even think of gettin' in on this..." "I'm takin' this guy down." "I swear I'll take him..." "Natsu-nii!" "he can't even stand..." "Natsu won't look down." "I'm sure... he'll look ahead!" "kudos to him!" "I don't understand... is that really Zentopia's enemy?" "Our enemy?" "Look at that hideous face..." "What?" "!" "He got him!" "A weak blow..." "How peculiar." "a feeling long forgotten comes to the fore." "Is it fury?" "life"... you people are guild wizards. so for you to mock our noble mission..." "It's preposterous!" "What's that?" "!" "Who does it for the money?" "!" "Don't insult the guild!" "Rent...?" "Gulp!" "Food expenses...?" "tell him off!" "Um..." "Uh..." "I didn't think he'd hit the nail on the head..." "You're still talkin' nonsense... you bastards are the ones who stole from Lucy... chaos is already loose in this world." "However... Zentopia teaches us to display proper behavior even as we monitor the chaos." "Turning that path into action is the duty of Legion." "too!" "He's suddenly full of energy..." "I wonder why..." "Look at that!" "Crypt candles?" "!" "They're all over the place." "You ate the sacred flames of the crypt?" "!" "How blasphemous can you get?" "!" "Octo-man." "Although that kinda talk just goes in one ear and out the other..." "All that stuck is "friend" and "lives"." "And now I'm gonna pay you back 100-fold for insulting the guild!" "He's provoking him." "Even though he doesn't need to go to the trouble of making him angry..." "That's Natsu for you." "Awesome..." "I can hear it..." "I can hear it!" "The end is in our hands!" "The end is in our hands!" "The end is in our hands!" "What is His Grace's condition?" "Actually even though the birthday event is about to begin..." "It can't be helped..." "Shall we assemble the cardinals?" "To elect the next archbishop?" "!" "What are you saying?" "!" "Cardinal Rapowant!" "You're back?" "!" "You speak of foolishness such as replacing the archbishop." "Realize that we are facing a much bigger problem." "What is it?" "!" "There is a traitor within Zentopia. spills information about the Infinity Clock..." "But that's not all." "The attacks on the provincial diocese..." "I've heard it was abetted by someone on the inside." "How...?" "!" "I can't believe it!" "Do I have a reason to lie?" "No... of course not!" "I'm suspicious of the priest who survived the attack that time." "I would like to question him directly." "Bring him here." "sir!" "I'll look after the archbishop." "no one shall enter his bedchamber." "This is a crusade." "Retrieving the Infinity Clock..." "That is Legion's holy mission." "A guild's principles can't compare." "too." "You... bastard..." "That's playing dirty!" "Fight fair and square!" "But he..." "Byro-sama has never used attacking magic? but Byro-sama's combat technique is among the five strongest in all of Fiore." "The weak have no right to control this world." "What?" "!" "The weak..." "We aren't doing anything wrong." "People can't survive without something to rely on." "Take Zentopia." "It's only natural to depend on it." "we'll look until we find it! then we have no choice. that's our mission." "I don't get it." "but you're definitely wrong!" "That's right!" "Haven't you thought about all the people who are going to suffer because of your mission?" "!" "It's foolish to act upon your emotions. we are forced to make hard choices!" "The world is always full of contradictions." "I have the sense to know that at least." "there will be sacrifices." "Uh-oh." "The cryptex in my head got all scrambled." "Make hard choices?" "But it must be easy for you." "What?" "right? right?" "Michelle... Lu-pi?" "Do you contest the whole concept of a rightful cause?" "Watch out!" "What kind of rightful cause makes people sad and suffer?" "!" "we saw a lot of people suffering and Exceeds going through hardships!" "A path that forces you to cause people pain and sacrifice them along the way is one that'll eventually fall to pieces and disappear!" "Is that the way you want everyone to go?" "!" "right?" "!" "we're the same! so they can be happy and we get a reward." "That's how we've been operating all along." "That's what a guild does! Fairy Tail isn't gonna be beat!" "Fake righteousness?" "!" "You..." "Your ridicule of me... your ridicule of Zentopia knows no bounds!" "my butt!" "You should be ashamed!" "Happy..." "Well said." "That's right." "Our guild isn't built on logic." "We act to protect our honor." "You spout nonsense!" "And for that you shall receive Heaven's punishment!" "Not if I can help it!" "you two!" "Don't!" "That glow..." "Don't tell me..." "Divine Arrow!" "If he uses that against people..." "Return to dust." "Burn in the flames of your own sins... and be purified!" "Divine Arrow!" "It missed?" "!" "Coco!" "What are you doing?" "!" "stop this!" "The path of righteousness for Legion... for all Zentopia just can't be for the purpose of hurting people!" "We have power." "Isn't the righteous path the one where we guide the powerless lambs?" "!" "Going down the path that sacrifices people..." "I can't..." "I can no longer accept that contradiction!" "Coco..." "Would you turn your back on the faith?" "!" "I know what my fate will be for betraying Legion." "But I can't see what lies at the end of our righteous path anymore!" "Righteousness is a straight arrow!" "leading to the truth in a straight line!" "I know you haven't forgotten that precept! then it should be broken!" "Byro-sama..." "I realized something." "Our doctrine isn't everything to me." "Watching what these people do touched me..." "They're so nice and look like they have so much fun..." "Byro-sama." "If you face these people with your heart..." "Coco..." "Have you been poisoned?" "!" "You traitor!" "Coco..." "I won't even wait for the hearing!" "Coco!" "Coco!" "Princess." "I really did want to become your friend." "You... Byro Cracy." "Titania..." "Don't "Titania" me!" "Aiming an attack at your comrade in a fit of rage..." "It makes me sick!" "Erza!" "you don't bully the weak!" "Gray!" "Juvia!" "Huh?" "Why Lyon?" "Jeez... so we hustled on over here..." "And look what we've got." "Shut up!" "The real fight was just about to start and then you waltz in!" "Everyone!" "You all found the parts of the clock!" "Gajeel is here?" "!" "too!" "everyone!" "There's the one we found! we've obtained all five parts." "All that's left is the clock hand you people stole from Lucy." "And you will give it back." "Titania." "You stand against all of us?" "We're going to seal away all the parts of the clock and keep them safe." "So just give that to me without protest." "I can't do that." "The Infinity Clock originally belonged to Zentopia." "We're bound to take charge of it." "Oh?" "Is that right?" "Um..." "This is the first I've heard..." "You're all in too deep." "You peered at the darkness that mustn't be seen." "I cannot allow you to leave here alive!" "Balderdash!" "Let's go!" "wait!" "Magic doesn't work..." "Hey!" "Pitiful." "So this is what that guy was talking about!" "Even against our numbers..." "Magic doesn't work on him!" "Who knew he was this strong?" "this is a pain in the ass..." "Right?" "Now it's like I'm just a normal cat!" "it makes no difference." "wizards are no longer wizards." "What about cats?" "Then there's nothing for it..." "We'll just have to beat the crap out of you with our bare hands." "Then come." "I'm trained to take on 50 people at once." "Octo-man?" "Be careful." "He's a master of the fighting arts." "That's what I was hoping for." "Father?" "!" "Don't... but... and then chaos descended." "Is this... the beginning of the end?" "no..." "This miasma..." "Nee-san!" "Look!" "The clock!" "What..." "What's happening?" "!" "What's that sound?" "!" "It's ringing in my head!" "Help!" "My head feels like it's splitting in half!" "Please help!" "Your Grace!" "The pilgrims!" "They're closing in at the foot of the slope!" "We can't open the gate yet!" "What should we do?" "!" "At least protect His Grace!" "I can hear it... the eternal midnight..." "I can hear it..." "The maggots..." "They're swarming..." "That damn thing's noisy!" "Is it an alarm clock?" "The crypt will be destroyed!" "What is this?" "Hey!" "Let's not just stand around!" "We gotta hurry!" "What's this smell?" "I know what it is..." "They're here..." "Huh?" "The clock's started to move..." "And is that Oracion Seis?" "That one guy isn't here!" "The one with the squarish face." "right?" "that's the one." "But you didn't sound like him one bit." "Says you... yes." "Alright." "Give it a rest." "Next time:" "The New Oracion Seis Appears!" "yes." "yes." "you do!" "Totally like him!" "Hey!" "Don't give up!" "Them!" "Oracion Seis!" "Right?" "Don't they seem really different?" "too... three in a row!" "Oracion Seis-Oracion Seis-Oracion Seis" "It really is Oracion Seis!" "no!" "The reborn Oracion Seis!" "I'm very glad to make your acquaintance!" "Reborn Oracion Seis?" "!" "indeed." "We're the reborn Oracion Seis." "Are you Midnight?" "!" "That name belongs to the distant past." "Please remember me henceforth as Brain II." "the second"?" "!" "You bastards just come strolling' in..." "What do you want?" "!" "I have just one wish." "To carry out my father's will." "To destroy everything that has a form..." "You're still talking that nonsense?" "!" "Fairy Tail..." "Your mission is now over." "Oracion Seis" "What the devil is that?" "!" "Dan!" "Don't let them get it!" "Alright!" "Understood!" "You gotta be kiddin'!" "That's our line!" "Stay out of the way!" "The Reborn Oracion Seis Appears!" "The maggots are swarming." "I'll knock that right back to you!" "That shield didn't repel it?" "!" "I can't believe it!" "Don't cling to me in the middle of the confusion!" "Back off!" "What?" "!" "all forms of magic..." "What happened to his magic nullifying?" "!" "What was that...?" "It refracted the range of Byro-san's magic and attacked simultaneously!" "That's why he's called Brain-sama!" "Carla!" "Do you feel it?" "!" "menacing magic power..." "Ownership of the Infinity Clock is determined by the wizard that carves his seal upon it. this clock has become our property." "What a pleasant sound..." "Hey!" "Suddenly coming out of nowhere and snatching it away is cowardly!" "I can hear your indignation..." "You're all in a state of confusion." "It's laughable." "People of the darkness like us aren't even permitted to touch this clock." "So that's why we gathered you!" "It was our plot!" "Y-You..." "We were used..." "I don't believe it..." "Then why on earth did my father..." "A chill just ran up my spine!" "These guys are scary!" "The magic I'm feeling coming off of them..." "It's in a different league than what they had before." "Who gives a damn?" "!" "You danced in the palm of our hand..." "Think of it as an honor." "Shut the hell up!" "Natsu's fire was dispersed!" "That's Wind Magic?" "!" "Wind..." "Nothing as gentle as that." "It's a storm." "A storm is coming." "that voice..." "Could it be..." "You're..." "You saw right through him!" "This man was formerly in Eisenwald!" "He is most definitely..." "Erigor-sama!" "My name is Grim Reaper." "Erigor?" "!" "Him?" "!" "You... that form... don't they?" "Whatever!" "Come down here so I can beat the crap outta you!" "how long are we going to waste time here?" "don't we?" "I know." "But there's Fairy Tail..." "I can't forget the humiliation from seven years ago." "Racer..." "Yes." "They're coming!" "Engage!" "Yeah!" "What was that just now?" "!" "I couldn't see anything!" "Dammit!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "in both speed and power!" "What happened to his Slow Magic?" "!" "I don't think he's using it here!" "He's like a beast..." "A wild animal that's after its prey!" "Yo." "shrine maiden of the sky... and cat." "There's something I want to ask you... you don't know the answer?" "Then begone!" "I can't move!" "What is this overpowering feeling?" "!" "Cobra!" "Your opponent is me!" "Enough... your voice is abrasive!" "...is me!" "Michelle?" "!" "I'll live..." "What was that?" "!" "The sound became an incredible wall of pressure!" "Dammit!" "Cobra..." "You bastard..." "I can hear your despair..." "Be destroyed by your own voice." "hurry down the escape route with Byro-sama!" "But I..." "This is no time to nitpick!" "Look at how strong they are..." "The outcome is as obvious as vinegar melting papyrus!" "Slow..." "A gale force wind from the fore... becomes a tornado." "What are you going to do?" "!" "There's still something that I can do!" "even if it puts my life at risk!" "You people!" "You have something that doesn't rightfully belong to you! I won't take even one step back!" "Dan!" "huh?" "I'm not sure..." "Even though it's pointless..." "Dull-witted fellow!" "Hey!" "Are you listening to me?" "!" "You're..." "You're..." "You're my Rosslyn!" "What's that?" "!" "What's your name?" "Angel." "And I hate men who act too familiar." "Lightning bonus!" "Love at first sight?" "He'll never be popular." "It made my whole body shudder." "Definitely a presentiment of romance." "I'm the one that zapped you." "The difference in power between us is obvious." "Wasting time..." "Fairy Tail is weak." "Let's get going." "get rid of them." "Understood." "The cost is 30..." "Angel!" "though it seems like she's got an odd personality!" "Maiden who walks with the Celestial Spirits..." "I was a child then." "I'm an angel!" "You think that Spirits can stand up against an angel?" "I'll show you some beautiful Angel Magic." "despair and sacrifice their own lives!" "Look at the power that comes from the light in my own name!" "I summon the angel that calls forth victory..." "Barakiel!" "Protect the seal and seal away this burial ground!" "That's..." "No!" "What the blazes is goin' on here?" "!" "no." "My bad feeling turned out to be right." "You were right?" "Wait..." "Samuel?" "My calculations were off-base... not." "I only made it look like my calculations were wrong." "I have no idea what you're saying." "What do you mean?" "Don't you feel it?" "like you've never felt before... and Coco?" "What happened?" "!" "Oracion Seis?" "How?" "!" "They should still be imprisoned!" "What's going on here?" "!" "So... who else is at the site?" "Actually... for example..." "Fairy Tail again?" "! I don't believe they've caused any major trouble!" "Didn't you know?" "Makarov Dreyar has returned." "too." "this happens... what's funny?" "Nothing." "I thought this is just like him..." "It's nothing to laugh about." "The captain of the Detention Corps is here." "Yes." "Good timing." "Let him in." "at your service." "We've been waiting for you." "Speak." "sir." "I shall make my report. the Oracion Seis that appeared in the desert is the genuine article." "Chairman." "I see..." "I regret to report Erigor have all escaped from confinement." "Simulacra made from magic were in each of their cells." "then the Six Generals..." "Simulation Magic?" "Though magic shouldn't have worked in any of the cells..." "We think they were helped by someone." "They were imprisoned for seven years." "Was there someone who had contact with Oracion Seis?" "sir." "Just one person." "A priest sent over by the archbishop of Zentopia." "He came to visit them at certain set times to take their confessions and help them atone for their sins." "Who is that priest?" "There's no record of him." "Impossible." "yes?" "There must still be footage of the priest. so everything related to this was disposed of." "Follow the disposal route." "Find the footage and verify the person's identity." "And Zentopia should be paid a visit." "I shall meet with the archbishop." "our only clue is that priest." "Tread carefully." "sir." "Men!" "Natsu!" "You regained consciousness?" "!" "Huh?" "Where are we?" "Blue Pegasus!" "Blue Pegasus?" "!" "Did you remember my parfum?" "You saved me?" "Where's everyone else?" "Worry not." "They're all just sleeping." "so we're letting them rest up a bit." "Men!" "I see... too?" "!" "Natsu!" "Jeez!" "How long were you gonna sleep?" "!" "too!" "you know?" "Ichiya-san is the one who saved us from under all that wreckage." "really?" "Thanks." "We're comrades who fought together." "I need no thanks." "There are so many good men here!" "Such a waste for them to mix it up with the women." "Now that you mention it..." "Gray-chan." "Don't call me "chan"!" "Master Bob." "right?" "Don't tell me that!" "What happened to the glittery guys?" "Hibiki and the others are in another land for a different matter." "Men!" "Where's Leon?" "Ichiya dropped him off at Lamia Scale." "And Legion?" "I didn't see anyone there but you folks." "I see..." "What's wrong?" "Those bastards..." "Dammit..." "They were toying with us... we're gonna kick their asses!" "I have also heard of Oracion Seis's resurrection." "You have my support." "I know I can rely on you." "Huh?" "Where's Michelle?" "She said she was going out to get some fresh air a little while ago." "It's my fault..." "I brought you that clock hand..." "Michelle!" "But so many people have gotten hurt and the problem just keeps getting bigger..." "Uh-uh." "I'm sure we'll solve the problem." "You'll see!" "even if" "I'm happy." "Don't blame yourself!" "Got it?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Nee-san..." "I love you." "Father..." "Why did you entrust that clock hand to me?" "I don't know what you were thinking." "The same thing with "Key of the Starry Heavens"..." "What did you want to tell me?" "but..." "What's wrong?" "Maybe..." "I'm going to try reading "Key of the Starry Heavens" one more time!" "I want to try thinking one more time about what Father tried to tell me!" "Why do you hate this book?" "I don't know." "Everyone's making a mistake." "they're making a mistake?" "they shouldn't collect the pieces!" "You're talking about the clock!" "That's right!" "It says right there in the book!" "I see..." "We were wrong." "What did you say?" "I understand." "Now I understand!" "It meant we mustn't collect them!" "What?" "!" "What do you mean?" "I'm telling you!" "We weren't supposed to collect them!" "That's what the message in this book meant!" "The pieces of the clock..." "We weren't supposed to get them!" "Then... don't tell me we were doing the opposite?" "Is that what Angel was talking about?" "They were waiting for us to gather them?" "So it seems..." "That image was a warning." "I tried to figure it out and got cocky..." "I'm sorry!" "Everyone..." "Father..." "I'm sorry!" "It sounds like the outcome was truly bitter." "Too bitter!" "I just know that something bad is going to happen!" "After all... your dad did beat around the bush... right?" "He was roundabout with that anagram or whatever..." "At least it was too difficult for someone I know..." "All he had to do was tell us not to collect them!" "There are some people who get a fever from thinking about something too much." "Maybe my magic powers up with that fever!" "Then let's give each other riddles!" "Alright!" "Now I'm fired up!" "Huh?" "Is Lucy-san laughing?" "you're all weird!" "What would be the point in brooding?" "Fortune comes in by a merry gate." "right?" "!" "Are you all trying to cheer me up?" "You really think that's likely?" "too." "What's that?" "!" "You lookin' for a fight?" "!" "you were tryin' to cheer her up!" "take it outside!" "for my sake!" "It ain't for your sake!" "This is the Fairy Tail I know and love..." "Everyone makes mistakes." "But then you recover." "Look at all of the friends you have here who adore you." "It would be difficult for anything to change that." "you should be able to get back on your feet any number of times." "Right." "Your Holiness." "I have urgent news that must reach the archbishop's ears!" "Duke Byro." "Rapowant." "I shall pass along your message." "Every second counts!" "The Infinity Clock was stolen by Oracion Seis!" "They're going to..." "I am well aware of that already." "Don't lose your head." "How does he already know?" "Surprise!" "Cardinal Rapowant... you never know what he's thinking. but I just can't bring myself to trust him." "What did His Grace say in response?" "!" "He gave Legion a new duty." "Princess!" "I'm scared!" "Coco..." "You betrayed Legion." "Your Holiness!" "you turned your back on the faith while a member of Legion." "Are you prepared to face the consequences?" "You can do what you want." "I have no regrets!" "That sound...!" "The Infinity Clock!" "It's ringin' out from somewhere!" "I wonder what the "infinity" part of the Infinity Clock is... we wouldn't have come this far lookin' for it!" "I think it's fish!" "it's a clock!" "there's fish inside so it's an Infinity Fish Clock!" "When did it become a fish clock?" "!" "Next time:" "Hunt Down the Infinity Clock!" "Natsu?" "Inside the clock is another clock and so on and so on!" "That part's infinite?" "!" "The Infinity Clock is in our hands." "The amplitude limiter is almost finished." "Let's hurry up and finish off the church!" "Even more destruction and the end... there's something we still need." "The wind is weak..." "A wind blowing from the abyss of destruction..." "That's right." "The Infinity Clock isn't complete yet. the sacrifice of something suitable is the price that must be paid." "We know that better than anyone." "Go!" "the end-time will move forward even more!" "Oracion Seis..." "Just what we didn't need... huh?" "Yeah. but there was that other breakout as well." "They're worse than they were seven years ago." "But we were helpless against them..." "I couldn't do anything." "Dammit!" "it was my fault..." "Michelle!" "Remember what Natsu said before?" "My father should have left a more detailed message." "how did your father get involved with that clock?" "I don't know that myself." "We'll solve that mystery another day." "we have to find Oracion Seis and take back the Infinity Clock!" "let's go!" "right?" "!" "we should form a plan first and then act." "What?" "!" "Where's your drive?" "!" "Just thinkin' ain't gonna get us nowhere!" "It ain't a question of drive!" "Is head-butting the only thing your noggin's good for?" "!" "Gray-sama!" "Juvia is on Gray-sama's side!" "Hunt Down the Infinity Clock!" "huh?" "It can't be helped when all we can do is stand around with our arms folded." "And many of us aren't here..." "Gildarts and Laki are both far away." "when even one more person would make a big difference..." "Yo!" "We're back." "The Raijinshuu are back from a job." "And we took care of this one too in no time at all." "it turns me on..." "What's wrong?" "Did something happen?" "So the Infinity Clock will bring about the end of the world?" "We leave for a short time and all hell breaks loose." "huh?" "Oracion Seis would've been defeated." "I was out grocery shopping by myself as usual..." "Fried?" "Some soldiers who had been guarding a church were talking and they single-handedly destroyed the church in Shirotsume." "A large sickle and tremendous speed?" "!" "Erigor and Racer..." "Didn't he call himself "Grim Reaper" now? attacks on churches have suddenly increased in the past two or three days." "you should've told us!" "I did." "But you two were so into eating at the time that you weren't listening." "But I don't understand." "Why are they targeting churches? it sounds like Oracion Seis has gotten even more out of hand." "I can hear them..." "There are four churches on this land." "The priest has already evacuated..." "The guards don't know anything. one right after another!" "I want to see... destruction..." "It's what I live for..." "Let's split up and get it done quickly." "Our work today is the same as yesterday." "Same?" "Was I doing the same kind of thing yesterday?" "You don't need to remember anything." "All you have to do is carry out your objective as a Demon General." "I see..." "That's all I need to think about..." "We can't waste time." "Let's go." "Oracion Seis!" "They came!" "Protect the church!" "Men who aren't the least bit beautiful..." "Cost 20!" "Grovel before the angel's glow!" "eh?" "A piddling trick!" "Tasteless..." "There's no such thing as "tasteful" with the path we're on." "What about the anti-link?" "I took care of it already." "as always." "But that's what I like about you." "even now." "and then you'll receive that power. the misery I feel is a driving force that produces power. this pain in my chest won't disappear." "That's right." "we'll convert anything into power." "years of being humiliated... the reborn Oracion Seis." "Kinana?" "Hey!" "You're still unsteady on your feet!" "is something wrong?" "You need to get more rest!" "Kinana-san's eyes..." "Yeah..." "Can't... waste time..." "Let's go... the misery I feel..." "Kinana..." "What are you doing?" "...is a driving force that produces power." "Kinana-san!" "Until the world... comes to an end..." "Legion is at your service." "I requested your presence for one reason." "To tell you that I'm going to reinforce your fighting strength." "You mean we're gonna get a new member..." "Your Holiness?" "Yes." "This is also the archbishop's will." "I opened the forbidden cell of Zentopia's main prison." "What are you trying to unleash?" "D-Don't tell me..." "What the devil is this?" "!" "New member?" "That's not even human!" "Hi!" "Gatman Kubrick!" "There's a voice in my head!" "Telepathy?" "It speaks oddly!" "That doesn't hurt! Gatman Kubrick." "Also known as "Gatman the Cleaner"!" "Oh..." "I'm afraid I don't know you..." "He's going to be a member of my Legion?" "The decision has been made." "This plantation is huge..." "Fields and pastures as far as the eye can see..." "And it used to be prosperous. and no one around to remember." "It's an album left behind by the passage of time." "it's been years since anyone's lived here..." "Lobster Plantation..." "On the other hand..." "You've become a real hottie after the passage of several years." "I'm going to tell Cana exactly what you just said." "I was just complimenting you! Your Holiness?" "Indeed." "Though we don't know what their ultimate objective is I fear they will continue their attacks." "Um..." "I have a little favor to ask..." "Dan..." "I don't mind." "What is it?" "I want Coco to be released." "right?" "just like us." "I'm sure she can be useful to His Grace again." "That all depends on how well you perform on this mission." "It'll be fine! all of you can go beddy-byes without a care in the world." "Don't treat us like little kids!" "Your Holiness... so I will take my leave here." "I apologize for keeping you waiting." "Cardinal Rapowant... aren't you?" "What can I do for you?" "I'm here about the formerly imprisoned members of Oracion Seis." "I believe news of their escape has already reached you and I'd like to check on something about it. it seems someone from the church visited them regularly." "That could have something to do with the breakout." "I would like you to stop making insinuations." "The breakout is the Council's fault." "Trying to lay the responsibility on the church..." "That's outrageous." "Come back another time." "this could become a major political problem." "That attitude..." "Is it proof that there's some suspicious going on?" "I think I have no choice but to ask for his help..." "What is this?" "huh?" "does it?" "To bring the end to this world..." "Maybe she's remembering something about before?" "I don't know..." "It seems like that's been weighing heavy on Kinana's mind lately." "Kinana had apparently been under a spell for a long time." "A spell?" "This is ancient Potamelian." "That again?" "!" "huh?" "It seems to be a description of one Will Neville..." "Will Neville?" "The author of "Key of the Starry Heavens"... it says... and was a powerful wizard who had mastered using them." "Contracts with Celestial Spirits?" "So he was a Celestial Spirit wizard as well as an author..." "But there's more." "Will Neville had many disciples. their whereabouts unknown." "What is this?" "A biographical dictionary..." "I brought one from the storehouse." "Um..." "There!" "author and a Zentopia cardinal"?" "a bird?" "It's like a VIP of a religious organization." "he made many achievements and was also known as a researcher into Zentopia's history. and nobody knows where he was for some time." "It doesn't say what he was doing?" "Uh-uh... joining public life once again." "But it doesn't say anything in here about him being a Celestial Spirit Wizard." "Or that he had disciples..." "What's going on here?" "Why does Kinana know stuff about him that's not even in that dictionary?" "And writing it in an ancient language... right? which Uncle Jude used to leave a message for Nee-san." "This is gettin' on my nerves!" "What the hell did he want us to do?" "!" "Find that Milk Devil or whatever and beat the crap out of him?" "!" "Will Neville is long dead!" "Listen when somebody's talking!" "do your best! we could lie in wait for them." "Right." "You people are noisy." "How's a girl supposed to get any sleep?" "It's afternoon already!" "How long do you need to sleep?" "!" "but I'm just so sleepy... though?" "You want to find Oracion Seis?" "I see!" "With your fortune-telling..." "That's right!" "Dammit!" "Don't back away!" "Archers!" "In position!" "Fire!" "You're slow..." "Too slow... with lightning!" "Slot Magic!" "This guarantees victory again!" "What do you think about this?" "!" "Lightning bonus!" "Totally hot!" "the one from before." "We don't have much time left." "I suppose we'll just have to rely on information now..." "Now she should be brought to me..." "Have you forgotten orders?" "That's not our job." "finished!" "Like this is okay?" "Yep." "Well done. as well as who should go where." "I saw it!" "So it's decided like this?" "Yep." "I think the team chemistry and their compatibility with those destinations feels right." "let's just get goin'!" "I'll announce it." "The first team is Gray and Fried!" "Interesting." "I've always wanted to try partnering with you." "Rune Magic and Ice Magic... we should get interesting results." "Erza and Evergreen!" "Are they gonna be okay with teamwork?" "Evergreeen has a sense of rivalry with Erza." "...and Max." "Me?" "!" "This is a nice opportunity." "we'll see which of us is worthy of a fairy name!" "What's important is finding the Infinity Clock." "I'll play your game anytime." "you don't need to compete against each other... o-o-okay?" "Gajeel and Juvia!" "The Phantom Road combo that came to our side." "Why must Juvia and Gray-sama be separated?" "!" "that's what the end of the world is!" "Bickslow and Wendy!" "right?" "What fun!" "Bickslow-san." "too!" "Get along!" "Get along!" "and Panther Lily!" "huh?" "I have my doubts about us being able to deal with them." "Michelle!" "Alright!" "We're the only four-person team?" "huh?" "Yep!" "Let's do our best to find the Infinity Clock!" "I'm left here again?" "!" "too!" "I don't want to be separated from Gray-sama!" "Gajeel!" "Forget about it!" "My divination told me these pairings are the best this time." "Then let Juvia trade places with Fried-san!" "It's the same thing..." "Natsu." "I can't fly!" "So you're a survivor from one of those destroyed churches? but sadly was found and now I'm here." "Why are you imprisoned after being saved from the church?" "I was targeted just for being a curate." "And because I didn't wish to tell" "Cardinal Rapowant what he wanted to know." "What do you mean?" "Traitor..." "We meet at last." "Your Holiness!" "You will tell me the names of Neville's disciples." "Coco." "me..." "Cana's divinations are usually right on." "It's like she hits the bullseye." "right?" "Happy?" "!" "right?" "I'd say it could be anybody else but you!" "then what am I in charge of?" "!" "the most reasonable thing is you in charge of being a mascot." "Next time:" "Battle Discord!" "In charge of being a mascot?" "Not bad!" "You're really being positive about it!" "I'm not really cut out for being in charge of the brains." "I'm surprised you're knockin' back the booze during an emergency like this." "a notorious drunk around these parts." "Nice that you're able to afford it." "we're racing around in the name of justice." "Justice?" "That's right." "Justice towards fighting against the returned Oracion Seis." "Justice towards protecting the citizens of Fiore." "you got any sense of justice?" "my ass!" "I don't wanna hear it!" "What the hell?" "!" "You think you can get away with picking' a fight with Fiore soldiers?" "!" "Your teleportation speed is rusty." "Doranbolt." "Mest Gryder." "You're still using that name?" "Whatever." "I need to speak with you." "Follow me." "What's wrong with justice?" "There was a time when even you..." "I..." "I abandoned Wendy." "I abandoned all of them." "How is that justice?" "There's no need for you to fixate on justice." "I need your strength." "That's why I'm here." "Lahar..." "Doranbolt." "I'll apologize if it'll help." "Alright?" "I'm not Doranbolt." "My name is Mest." "Call me that." "lay off the booze." "Battle Discord!" "Jackass!" "You're no Man!" "Octopus Man!" "You must be really confident to look away!" "Here it comes!" "Magic Crunchy-kun!" "I can't see anything!" "What the hell are you doin'?" "!" "Sorry!" "Wait!" "He's a tough opponent." "We need to beat him with teamwork!" "Alright!" "Fine!" "please!" "Leave it to me-ebi!" "Man!" "Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon!" "Here it comes!" "Steel Wall!" "you moron!" "Do you mean to cook and eat me-ebi?" "!" "Uh-oh..." "It's my fault?" "!" "Who are you glaring' at?" "!" "I'll punch you first!" "I wanna cut that hair-ebi!" "Don't fight amongst yourselves!" "It looks like they just don't get along." "But this time the teams were decided by Cana's divination." "The combos should have good chemistry and their destinations should be on target." "huh?" "already." "My feet hurt..." "Who goes mountain climbing in heels?" "I'm a fairy..." "You lost me... it hurts..." "Shut up and walk." "What's your problem?" "!" "I told you I'm in pain here!" "You should worry about me at least a little!" "You make a fuss just over that?" "You should stop whining and focus on moving ahead." "Give me a break." "Acting like she's the leader..." "Who appointed her?" "Did you say something?" "Not especially..." "What a pain in the ass." "Why were they put together?" "Somebody is complimenting me again." "I wouldn't be too sure of that..." "What do you mean?" "!" "There it is!" "Lightning Bonus!" "are you okay?" "!" "I don't think I am... you're less than worms!" "I think I'll bombard you with dizzying changes!" "Bastard!" "We won't accomplish anything like this!" "What do we do?" "Ain't nothin' to think about!" "There's only one thing to do!" "Kick his ass!" "Okay!" "Totally hot!" "A shaggy pool!" "Now this is my moment to shine-ebi!" "Nobody asked you to do this!" "Ebi..." "It was out of habit... at this rate..." "We're all different!" "right?" "you have Darjeeling tea and Lily has... kiwi?" "!" "skin and all." "Is that how you're supposed to eat it? and the sensation of the skin!" "It's delicious!" "I can't get enough!" "The sensation of the skin?" "What's that smell?" "I like this..." "Mushrooms sautéed in butter." "Sammy!" "too." "You're all silly little brats!" "It's comin' again!" "Rain..." "Rain?" "I see!" "I open thee!" "Aquarius!" "girl?" "And you summoned me again from muddy water..." "You looking to get hurt?" "!" "I-I'm sorry..." "But don't threaten me!" "Do something about that machine monster!" "Why do you always summon me when I'm on a date?" "Out of jealousy?" "No..." "Fine." "I'll take care of this punk nice and quick!" "Man!" "No fair!" "I'm gonna hit him first!" "you're going to turn right around!" "Totally hot!" "Stay outta my way!" "You stay outta my way!" "shut the hell up!" "Why is this happening?" "!" "They're not working together at all!" "Only a little left..." "I wonder how many more years this tree will live..." "Katja-sama!" "What are you doing here?" "!" "I was looking at this tree." "You can't do that!" "Don't wander around outside!" "The situation we're in right now... too." "In that case..." "Maybe this tree will remember us... is what I was thinking." "One more thing..." "Word is that Fabrizio was found and taken away." "Oh?" "Maybe it's my turn next..." "Nico." "Is it that disagreeable to be paired up with me?" "but... you're free to run to that naked bastard." "Gajeel-kun." "But..." "But..." "Grey-sama... drinking tea in a fancy open cafe..." "Juvia wishes a tranquil day like this would last forever..." "I said!" "With iron in it!" "so get it from there!" "so the iron is probably all rusty!" "It's better to be out here!" "Gajeel-kun..." "Don't get in Juvia's way." "What's the problem?" "We're just gonna drink together is all." "Juvia told you... don't get in my way!" "Knock it off!" "You'll rust me out!" "That's what it's like..." "I don't get you." "But it's a pain in the ass..." "That's the kind of woman Juvia is." "Wendy?" "Yes!" "I'll do my best." "We'll almost be at our destination once we make it past this mountain pass." "Right!" "What the heck is that?" "A storm..." "I guess the weather in the mountains changes quickly..." "What is this?" "!" "This is way too powerful!" "the weather was..." "I can't remember." "It's that Grim Reaper guy!" "He's like a walking freakish weather system." "I take it that he used to be Erigor-san of Eisenwald." "Eisenwald..." "Erigor..." "They ring no bells..." "What's with you?" "You've got a lousy memory." "But I do know what the weather is going to be like next..." "A blast of wind from above!" "Along with occasional tornadoes from the side!" "Not even flies would dare defy natural phenomena." "This guy..." "I'll support you!" "Alright!" "We ain't flies!" "Don't underestimate Fairy Tail wizards!" "A gale from below!" "What's wrong?" "Are you just all talk?" "Dammit!" "I'll heal you..." "We don't got time for that!" "That's..." "Fairy..." "Tail..." "It's not coming to me..." "But I know what the next weather pattern will be..." "Storm..." "A storm!" "A storm from right in front of you!" "I'll stop it!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "What kind of soul does that girl have?" "!" "Followed by lightning from behind!" "huh?" "I've already moved the souls to other dolls!" "Take this!" "Zero Distance Baryon Formation!" "What...?" "!" "it's cowardly to fly out of the way!" "So it seems..." "I had forgotten... who are you two?" "What the hell?" "He's already forgotten about us." "Wing Slash of the Sky Dragon!" "with wind magic?" "You should know your place!" "Wendy!" "Watch out!" "Be careful of flying objects due to strong wind!" "Cow stink!" "no..." "It's my fault..." "Bickslow-san!" "The Infinity Clock was completed and stolen by Oracion Seis." "So what are you people after now? Nii-san." "So much that my calculations can't keep up." "I know!" "you're a fellow Exceed!" "You guess correctly. it's likely the humans will find themselves powerless to do anything." "You say this now?" "!" "I thought Zentopia's teachings were everything to you." "but this is no time to be particular." "I see." "So what should we do? you two wouldn't be able to comprehend it." "How rude!" "Did you come here to start another fight?" "!" "Carla..." "Did you sense anything with your power of precognition?" "but they made me feel uneasy..." "Images of the Key of the Starry Heavens?" "Yes." "I think it was a warning." "You weren't meant to collect the pieces of the clock." "It seems the device was originally the property of Zentopia." "we're being given an unfathomable mission." "Sammy?" "What's most ominous of all is the possibility that Zentopia's doctrine is being misused." "What the hell is this?" "We didn't get here in time?" "Why... do we have to attack a church?" "I totally... don't get it... remember?" "Why do you keep griping about it?" "Telepathy?" "Not Oracion Seis..." "Is that Legion?" "Guild wizards?" "asshole?" "A falling out?" "Why did we... have to do that... to a priest?" "it's doctrine." "it's Legion's job to destroy it!" "ever doubt the faith!" "Bastard... traitor!" "Don't!" "What the...?" "!" "that's not it... be careful!" "asshole!" "It seems you both have extremely high levels of magic in your bodies." "How convenient." "Pretty lights!" "What a nice rapture!" "What the hell is this thing?" "!" "Juvia doesn't know this magic..." "It's based on explosions..." "Rapture Magic..." "He swells up the magic power in a person's body instantaneously and makes it explode." "Scatter!" "Scatter!" "Juvia!" "Don't give in!" "Gajeel-kun! I can keep you two dancing to my tune." "Does it hurt?" "!" "Embrace the pain..." "Archbishop..." "Why did you release someone like this?" "This... is what Zentopia teaches?" "Hey!" "Ain't anybody home?" "!" "We don't allow outsiders to enter." "Don't be so petty." "Just open the damn door." "Hey!" "That was too straight." "the best way is a straight pitch." "What is it that you're proud of?" "There's only one thing to do." "Laki..." "Come here a second." "Wha...?" "!" "Listen..." "I'll tell Cana!" "with 85% lies!" "Not that." "I'm being serious here..." "Look carefully at this abbey." "Molding Magic certainly is convenient." "Hey!" "Don't take advantage of the situation to touch my privates!" "Don't kick me!" "It stinks!" "Sorry." "It slipped out..." "They spotted us..." "Yeesh." "It turned out this way after all..." "And whose fault is that?" "!" "What is this?" "All the hair on my body is standing on end!" "right?" "Wood Make!" "Heart's Sense of Distance!" "Don't try and mob us!" "Don't!" "You can't hit a nun!" "What's with these people?" "!" "what a pain in the ass!" "I said!" "assholes!" "Y-You massacred them?" "!" "No!" "Look closely!" "They ain't human!" "What is this?" "A doll made from earth and wood?" "It doesn't seem like Molding Magic..." "What are those Zentopia clowns thinking?" "what are they hiding?" "Maybe it's something even worse than the Master feared." "Yeah..." "Macao." "No need to hold back." "Let's move in!" "Hasn't Oracion Seis gotten a lot stronger than the last time we fought them?" "Maybe it's because they can't afford to lose for some reason..." "Could be." "But we can't afford to lose either!" "You said it!" "We're gonna wipe the floor with them and keep that chaos whatever from happenin'!" "that's a pretty important key phrase." "Next time:" "Anti-Link!" "Winning is more important than words!" "but that's a blunt conclusion." "It's better to keep it simple with stuff like this." "Yeesh." "You're gonna make me drunk without even drinking anything." "did you find out anything?" "Everything is starting to add up." "Dora..." "Mest." "The new Oracion Seis is responsible for the serial destruction of those churches. there were signs that someone had been taking shelter there. there's no record of them in any of Zentopia's documents." "I thought they were corpses but they're not dead." "I sensed faint biological activity coming from them." "It must be some kind of suspended animation." "never mind." "The Zentopia headquarters and the underground organization that exists among some of the local parishes..." "Something is happening there that involves whoever had been secretly harbored." "And we need to find out the identity of that person?" "Nico?" "Anti-Link!" "my!" "A handsome man!" "The new Oracion Seis!" "So you're the one called "Angel"?" "An-gel-tan!" "You're my angel!" "I hate clingy men." "What is he?" "Another one of the Six Generals?" "No!" "Dan Straight!" "but now I'm devoted to Ange-pon!" "I'm devoted to Laxus." "What are you two competing for?" "!" "wench!" "Where'd you put the Infinity Clock?" "!" "A stupid question..." "The cost is 40." "Be embraced by the power that comes from the light in my own name!" "That's Angel Magic..." "How profound!" "How awe-inspiring!" "Although that shadow by her eye is disquieting... angel of sunlight!" "Here I am!" "How are you?" "!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "It's plump and cute!" "Play with them." "Roger!" "Let's play!" "Pick me up!" "I'll play!" "I'll carry you!" "What the hell did you come here for?" "!" "Dark Ecriture!" "Pain!" "Ice Make Saucer!" "That tingled!" "An angel's sun rays are bright!" "Be destroyed by your own voice." "Evergreen!" "Max!" "There's something I want to ask you." "Do you know Cubelios?" "I see." "asshole?" "!" "This guy can hear people's thoughts." "Isn't that a mild form of sexual harassment?" "!" "I have no more use for you." "Evergreen!" "What was that?" "!" "That wasn't only Listening Magic!" "and fired it." "It makes the air vibrate." "I see..." "I can hear you." "Robe of Remoteness." "You're thinking it will mitigate my sound attack enough for you to strike a blow." "I can hear it." "that swordsmanship..." "Titania." "Your movements have become keener." "You didn't defeat Grimoire's Azuma for nothing." "Natsu beat this guy by attacking without thinking and a loud voice." "That was seven years ago." "That won't work on me now." "Nonsense!" "Seven years ago... Erza!" "I lost Cubelios!" "Give me back my friend..." "Give me back Cubelios!" "Cubelios..." "Nico." "The curate went out on our behalf yesterday." "Hey..." "Yeah..." "Who are you?" "Are you... a Celestial Wizard?" "Wendy!" "Nico!" "Wait!" "Let go of me!" "Calm down!" "the Captain of the Enforcement and Detention Corps of the Magic Council." "I'm here on an investigation." "The Magic Council?" "It's been seven years..." "She would probably look like this now." "If that girl had lived..." "Bickslow-san!" "Wendy!" "It's pointless." "He can't move." "little girl. human strength and grit are very easily mowed down." "Why?" "Even though you might have had a chance of winning by abandoning him..." "Abandoning..." "Abandoning a friend is unthinkable!" "Friend?" "Idiot!" "Don't be so soft!" "Sometimes the courage to leave a comrade is necessary!" "No!" "I'll never abandon a friend!" "Friend..." "What's that?" "Who are they?" "What was that just now?" "!" "Wendy?" "He..." "Open!" "Gate of the Chisel!" "Caelum!" "Please keep watch." "Two gates open simultaneously..." "Um..." "Is there something you want to say?" "You've been staring at me." "Is a Celestial Wizard so unusual?" "No..." "That's not it." "Your name is Katja?" "You remind me of someone I knew." "I do?" "Who are you calling flat as an ironing board?" "!" "I didn't say anything!" "Why are you fooling around?" "pardon me." "I'm the one who owes you an apology." "I remind you of a girl?" "She died seven years ago." "If I had done things differently then..." "Huh." "I'm a little envious." "you still care about her..." "I don't have anyone like that... 100 years is..." "I'd already given up. and most of my friends had passed on." "What do you mean by "given up"?" "Living now." "Now...?" "So I thought I'd at least remember even a little of this age's landscape..." "It's okay." "We'll..." "We'll..." "Tell me." "Are you the one who's been given shelter by this church?" "Yes." "Who the devil are you..." "Both of you?" "!" "Caelum!" "What was that?" "!" "no!" "Katja!" "Behind you!" "I found you." "Hold on!" "Mest!" "That guy's..." "Racer!" "Destroy... the vessel... there is not a moment to waste." "News of the archbishop's madness has begun to leak to the outside world." "We must elect the next archbishop with all due haste and hold the inauguration..." "Quiet! you must realize that the archbishop's personality powerless lambs." "However..." "Are you sure about this?" "Maggots." "Replacing the archbishop at this late date would change nothing." "The end is in our grasp..." "Destroy... the vessel." "Destroy!" "Bastard!" "You're very quick." "Lahar!" "Take this girl and get away!" "Understood!" "But I..." "I said!" "Mest-san..." "Let's leave this to him." "There's no need to worry." "he's quite skilled." "Moreover... he has a passion for justice." "Um..." "Thank you!" "I've thrown away a lot but it sounds like you've thrown away your humanity." "Destroy..." "Monster..." "Let's have a showdown to see who's faster!" "Shit..." "He's fast!" "But this ain't over yet!" "Direct Line!" "He moves so fast that it's easy to be fooled but my guess is that he runs in a simple pattern like this." "I can see your movements." "Shit!" "The blank of the last seven years I've spent drinking is kicking my ass!" "Am I too fast?" "My apologies." "No one can catch up to me." "Stop it!" "Stay out of my head!" "I don't need any memories!" "Bastard." "His memories are coming back." "Kageyama!" "Don't say anything to me!" "while some kind of force is resisting it." "it looks like you're gonna be crushed by your own memories!" "It looks painful." "If I could restore his memories with my Healing Magic..." "Just how soft-hearted are you?" "!" "I'll try it!" "little girl!" "Die!" "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" "Plus Cure!" "little girl!" "Remember!" "You're in over your head!" "Hey!" "how pathetic can you get?" "!" "Is this the kind of strength that I wished for?" "You're me?" "Something came out of his soul." "no..." "I..." "I hurt someone with my power of healing?" "No." "I saw what happened." "You healed him." "You healed his heart." "You'll explain?" "Yes." "What the new Oracion Seis is after which you've seen." "Anti-Link? there's been a secret underground organization operating from within." "We Neville Celestial Wizards have been sheltered by them." "Neville?" "The Celestial Wizard and author of "Key of the Starry Heavens"?" "We're the descendants of Will Neville's disciples." "there's also a biological link to a certain something." "What?" "!" "we have to protect it." "These markings testify to that." "But they're also an abominable curse." "What is it you're protecting?" "And the victims up to now..." "They're neither alive nor dead." "What the devil are they?" "!" "They're..." "Wen... dy..." "Bastard!" "I'm going to activate the Anti-Link amplitude limiter." "This is the end of me..." "What's happening?" "!" "Huh?" "Nothing..." "Katja!" "No..." "It can't be..." "Hey!" "Katja!" "Open your eyes!" "The Anti-Link is complete." "Will Neville." "being able to sleep for eternity in this moldy underground lair." "there aren't many of your disciples left." "cursed vessels..." "What?" "There's no need for concern." "I'll accept all of the nightmare that you saw." "Are you okay?" "Stay with me." "after fighting him..." "Never mind me!" "I don't know what the hell happened... the biological link was severed." "But I'm not cursed... it seems all of your magic has disappeared." "Nico!" "Thank you for everything!" "too!" "Right..." "It won't be 100 years from now." "I'm sure we'll be able to meet again sometime." "You understand what he says. and "Get your paws off of her!" "P-Pardon me!" "So you're no longer a Celestial Wizard." "I-I'm sorry..." "It looks like I couldn't protect you in the end." "no." "You did protect me." "From a terrible curse..." "I can live now thanks to no one but you." "Thank you." "I..." "I-I... live for the present." "Letting yourself forever be caught up in the past" "Mest." "What are you talking about?" "I'm not Mest." "I'm Doranbolt!" "Yes." "Break loose from the past and learn with your own eyes and ears that they're safe." "That's the beginning of your new path." "One thing bothers me... too." "For some reason..." "This doesn't make sense!" "I haven't even been able to land one punch!" "And he wants us to attack him head on?" "!" "This feeling that something is wrong..." "It's like Cana's divinations are backfiring..." "I'm gonna beat the crap outta you!" "wait!" "Zentopia was after the hand of the Infinity Clock that Lucy's dad left her." "both we and Legion were totally trashed by the new Oracion Seis." "Natsu!" "asshole!" "I guarantee it!" "Yeah!" "It has nothing to do with whether we have good battle chemistry or not!" "Amen!" "I feel like we're overlooking something that's incredibly important." "I hope Natsu is okay..." "It seems we've hit a dead end... what's that?" "Someone's here." "Looks like she's alive..." "Who is it?" "And what's she doing hidden down here?" "it seems she was receiving treatment here." "this lacrima is designed to keep her in a comatose state." "it would be inconvenient for someone?" "what's her name?" "It says "Michelle Lobster"." "It's no mistake." "This is her." "What?" "This girl is Michelle?" "!" "So it seems." "She lost her family in an accident at the Lobster Plantation." "She's their only daughter..." "Michelle Lobster." "wait a second." "Then who the hell is that with Lucy?" "!" "What's that?" "!" "The sound of bells?" "Coming from the sky?" "Natsu!" "That must mean it's lunchtime!" "I'm hungry!" "Huh?" "Lunchtime already?" "Lucy's treat!" "there's a giant fish flying through the air!" "Then that'll be our lunch!" "Next time:" "Unleashed Despair!" "I wonder if we can eat that... right?" "I don't know..." "That obviously looks like it'd be tough to chew..." "There's an emergency message from the Detention Corps!" "The new Oracion Seis's aim isn't the destruction of churches!" "They're after Celestial Spirit Wizards who are being sheltered there!" "Our top priority is finding them first and protecting them!" "Suddenly gotten a lot busier around here..." "What?" "!" "Our Michelle is...?" "! but it's highly probable." "we've got the real one right here." "Understood!" "I'll pass it on to Master and Lucy." "We'll take this girl to a nearby hospital." "What the hell's going on?" "!" "What does this mean?" "we've got to contact Natsu and the others!" "Do they have long-distance communication cards?" "Each team has one." "Even Elfman's got one." "It's terrible!" "We got word that the Six Generals are attacking Kardia Cathedral!" "What?" "!" "This is bad." "None of us are over there!" "We'll go." "Bisca..." "Right." "Please watch Asuka for us." "Natsu!" "Lucy!" "Elfman!" "Michelle is an impostor!" "Be careful!" "Hey!" "Can you hear me?" "!" "Somebody answer!" "Super!" "Hot!" "Punch!" "I hit the jackpot!" "it's convenient for me." "something about it doesn't sit right." "after all this time?" "For what purpose...?" "Michelle!" "I promise I'll protect you!" "I've been having so much fun playing with you all that I forgot the important work I have to do!" "Please excuse me for now..." "It's Oracion Seis!" "let's do this all at once!" "Come on!" "There it is!" "Bombdrop Bonus!" "Boom-boom-boom!" "Dammit!" "Why destroy the church?" "!" "W-What did you do?" "!" "Bastard!" "Unleashed Despair!" "Sand Slash!" "It's useless." "I can hear you." "I can..." "I'm telling you..." "Gotcha." "Sand Trap!" "I got the idea from Sugar Boy's mucus!" "Erza!" "Go!" "I told you." "I can hear you!" "Shatter!" "Max!" "You make me sick." "Making like you have a beautiful friendship..." "Bastard..." "Cubelious is gone." "I no longer have any friends." "I heard that..." "Your sadness..." "But people can get stronger by overcoming their sadness." "As if you know anything..." "There's no way you can comprehend the pain that's in my heart." "Don't be so sure!" "Everyone bears pain in their heart." "Yes." "Everyone..." "This way!" "We found the Celestial Spirit Wizard and have her in protective custody!" "quickly!" "I forgot my purpose... we'll settle this for good." "Good job." "I found him." "I captured the Celestial Spirit Wizard." "The Anti-Link amplitude limiter." "I'm going to activate it." "You...!" "Beautiful... there are more of us..." "According to the information he got out of Father Fabrizio there are two left." "Yay!" "What fun!" "our prayers will be answered." "Your doctrine is being misused?" "!" "What does that mean?" "Before I explain that..." "Nii-san!" "Fine." "I'll go along with it." "Why?" "right?" "I don't really understand how males think." "the misuse of your doctrine?" "!" "What is Zentopia plotting?" "! Cardinal Rapowant gave us individual missions!" "Rapowant?" "right?" "Dan and Mary were to interfere with you... prepared in case of an emergency..." "And Gatman..." "Who's that?" "!" "He's like the newcomer." "In Coco's place." "What?" "!" "Did something happen to Coco?" "!" "She was imprisoned as a traitor to Legion!" "What?" "!" "She backed you people up or something." "I don't know about the mission that Gatman was given." "But I have a really bad feeling about it. it meant there's a disturbing movement within Zentopia." "Coco..." "She told him she hates cats." "So he was rejected?" "Lily wears his broken heart on his sleeve..." "Don't interrupt the conversation with a cooked-up drama!" "Okay." "I'm sorry." "There's one more thing!" "The strange mission Byro-sama and I were given!" "Strange?" "!" "we weren't told to get the Infinity Clock back!" "Even though stopping them is the most important thing right now!" "I see." "That is strange." "we need to join forces!" "So you came here to look to Carla's precognition for help..." "Byro-sama's allegiance hasn't crumbled." "But I..." "Sammy!" "Your techniques were aimless and misguided!" "You'll never be able to beat me that way." "you need to get rid of the hesitation that's in your heart." "Scatter!" "Damn him... asshole!" "the outcome will be the same." "That's enough!" "He can't..." "No wizard can beat you!" "That's true... I'm a Fairy Tail wizard now." "my heart won't break that easily!" "Juvia?" "!" "Gajeel-kun." "Juvia has recovered." "What's this?" "You think this will snare me?" "Juvia won't let go." "Scary!" "Scatter!" "Wha...?" "!" "Hey!" "What is this?" "!" "You're getting tangled up with me?" "!" "you...?" "!" "Juvia won't let go!" "Juvia will endure this!" "Gajeel-kun!" "Comin'!" "son of a bitch!" "Yeesh." "huh?" "the timing would've been perfect." "Is that right?" "Incredible." "They took down Gatman the Cleaner..." "Erigor?" "!" "Don't be that violent with him..." "We've gotta ask him this!" "Hey!" "Tell us what your aim is!" "Where's the Infinity Clock?" "!" "I don't know." "I was in a daze..." "What was I doing?" "so you must not be thinking clearly yet." "You were in prison before..." "That's right." "When was it..." "I had a hideous nightmare..." "It felt like somebody sneaked into my dream..." "I acted as the Grim Reaper." "Sneaked into your dream..." "Then it was probably a kind of magic that uses dreams to control people." "it must have influenced his brainwaves and then controlled his unconscious mind. and in exchange received the magic power of mastery over weather phenomenon." "But forgetting everything... was painful. but that..." "Then I heard your voice." "but let me be grateful." "S-Sure..." "Wait a second!" "she said something... but I'm so sleepy..." "Cana-san was also manipulated through her dreams!" "we were paired up into teams that were favorable to them!" "no!" "We fell right into a trap!" "Will Neville... he's protected by powerful magic." "But that effect is about to run out." "Stop right there!" "we're not going to let you accomplish it!" "You've sniffed me out already?" "Amusing." "I presume?" "Here I come!" "How about this?" "!" "Omnidirectional Expansion!" "Garbage." "Al!" "Hang in there just a little longer!" "No one can stop me." "Now!" "one down!" "Bisca!" "She's a good shot." "But she lacks the resolve to shoot someone." "you have to pay a high cost." "You two are lacking." "Lacking in readiness to lose something!" "three in a row!" "Anti-Link activate!" "what did you do?" "!" "Byro-sama." "right?" "What?" "!" "I'm your opponent here!" "Lightning Bonus!" "How?" "!" "The sin of attacking a church is too serious!" "Talons of the Fire Dragon!" "What did you do?" "!" "Now I can't use my Slot Magic!" "Where did my identity go?" "!" "asshole!" "Now I'm gonna pay you back for everything up to now!" "Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon!" "Plus..." "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "What is this... feeling?" "I've got a really bad feeling..." "Nee-san..." "It's okay." "I'm here for you." "The scream we heard came from over here!" "What is this?" "!" "What's happening?" "!" "What did Cobra do?" "The Celestial Spirit Wizards' Anti-Link is complete?" "W-What are you talking about?" "!" "The severing of the biological link. the amplitude limiters have all been unleashed." "The nightmare that you saw is now going to..." "It will blanket the world!" "The chaos that had been sealed away is now unleashed upon the world!" "It's the beginning of the nightmare that can never be awakened from!" "The end is in our hands!" "The end is in our hands!" "What is that?" "What kind of a joke is that?" "The sound of bells..." "Unleashing the Infinity Clock...?" "That's the clock?" "It's too damn big!" "The Infinity Clock was hidden right over Zentopia Cathedral." "What do you mean?" "That's the starting point of the doctrine that was sealed away from Zentopia history." "The intersection between the beginning and end of goodwill and malice." "Everything has gone as Cardinal Rapowant as well as the archbishop have commanded." "I don't care what their real intentions are and it isn't necessary to know." "for the sake of Zentopia..." "We won." "Look at that!" "It's a fish!" "Though it doesn't look good to eat..." "So we were too late?" "this happened?" "!" "What's going to happen next?" "!" "Sammy?" "!" "Zentopia Cathedral!" "I'm going to confirm the truth with my own eyes!" "Wait!" "We haven't heard yet what kind of order you and Byro got!" "Sammy..." "Coco..." "What the hell is this?" "!" "The Infinity Clock has begun to work." "What?" "!" "We have to do something to stop it!" "But I have my own mission to carry out." "Lucy Heartfilia." "what do you want with me?" "!" "I don't understand it either." "it's my duty to obey." "You're not gettin' Lucy!" "We don't have the time for this right now!" "mission?" "!" "Even you must know what you should really be doing right now!" "I... what are you hesitating for?" "Don't think!" "All you need is the doctrine and loyalty..." "All you have to do is what you were ordered!" "You!" "When we were fighting Nirvana..." "My name is Klodoa." "the brains behind the group." "The seventh member?" "um..." "Aren't you one member short?" "the time is ripe!" "Throw away your temporary form and reveal your true name right here and now!" "Michelle... aren't you?" "!" "This girl is Michelle Lobster!" "She's like a little sister to me!" "She's family!" "She embarked on a journey to search for me so she could deliver my father's memento!" "Don't worry!" "I'm not gonna be taken in by that jerk's baloney!" "Michelle..." "Come on..." "Tell me he's lying..." "Come on!" "Hey." "Lucy-nee-san..." "I'm sorry." "Mi...chelle... mistress of mimicry and deception." "we needed all of you." "as "Michelle Lobster"." "What are you saying?" "I don't understand!" "We attacked those churches to destroy the biological links that were spread all over and to release the sealed-up Infinity Clock." "Lucy-nee-san." "What happened?" "I-I see!" "You're being manipulated by magic!" "I'll..." "Lucy." "So it was all a lie?" "Who knows?" "Answer me!" "Natsu!" "Suddenly a sneak attack?" "!" "That's our girl!" "carry out the order you received from Lapowant." "Take Lucy Heartfilia back with you." "wench." "I'm loyal to Zentopia's..." "Th-That's the archbishop's..." "Whoever holds that gold seal has the same authority as the archbishop." "Be aware that my orders are the archbishop's orders." "Y-Your wish is my command." "It would be dangerous to let that man live." "No." "We're going to bring him back as well." "as a hostage if nothing else." "Yes." "As it pleases you." "Imitatia-sama." "I know that." "Wait!" "Michelle..." "I chelle..." "What's this?" "There was one more here." "Did he escape?" "What?" "!" "I can't hear you well..." "Explain it one more time!" "Hey!" "Elfman!" "I'm sleepy..." "That's unusual." "You always sleep like a log." "I've had trouble falling' asleep." "I keep havin' these weird dreams." "Natsu?" "What's that reaction?" "!" "Is somethin' funny?" "Natsu." "Next time:" "Real Nightmare!" "I'm gonna show you what a real nightmare is!" "W-W-W-Wait!" "We can talk this out!" "I don't have that kind of sensitivity!" "have you?" "!" "Butts?" "!" "Wrong!" "The Jiggle Butt Gang!" "What do you guys want?" "!" "do you know where we are?" "!" "What is this?" "!" "Jail!" "We're in a jail!" "laddy?" "What am I...?" "That's right!" "Lucy!" "Where's Lucy?" "!" "Hell if I know!" "You were the only one here when they tossed us in." "It was just me?" "!" "Where's Lucy?" "!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Dammit!" "What was that?" "!" "I reckon." "Barrier...? you'll be knocked on your butt like you just were." "it's like it's all over." "Don't make me laugh!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon..." "Huh?" "!" "Real Nightmare!" "Make a fool outta me..." "One more time!" "Roar of the..." "That'll do for a while!" "That'll do!" "That'll do it for now!" "What the hell?" "!" "Let go of me!" "Cool it!" "laddy!" "Let's put our heads together and think up a way to escape from here!" "You're right..." "It is lucky that we met here." "Right?" "!" "You and us are comrades!" "And since we're comrades let's have you put this on!" "so no thanks." "L-Lame?" "!" "why are you guys in here?" "We're here 'cause evil guys like us don't know when to quit." "there's evil!" "right?" "Looks like it has some connection to this cathedral!" "Huh." "You did your homework." "Evil guys are plugged into a network of evil. we snuck into this place!" "And then we heard something terrible!" "Something terrible?" "about the archbishop's madness..." "Perhaps we can no longer keep it hidden." "The pilgrims outside the gate..." "It seems they don't know yet." "Good then." "All we need do is keep the archbishop out of sight until the anniversary event begins." "the Cleaner only need be sent to eliminate them." "E-Eliminate?" "!" "That means kill!" "but ended up here." "The only silver lining is they don't know what we overheard." "I bet we'll never get out of here!" "We may never get out..." "We'll see..." "Hey!" "I thought evil doesn't give up!" "but what are we gonna do when magic won't even work here?" "!" "I'm breakin' outta here!" "I gotta save Lucy." "there's a guy whose ass I wanna kick!" "Break out?" "!" "That sounds so evil!" "That's a new evil milestone in the annals of Jiggle Butt Gang history!" "you better cooperate with me!" "Alright!" "Leave the strategy to us!" "assemble!" "Right!" "...oughta be good training." "What the hell is goin' on here?" "!" "Then it's true that Michelle is the sixth member of Oracion Seis?" "Yeah." "She fooled us." "I can't believe it... and the others have been captured." "Dammit!" "It was all I could do just to get away myself." "You can't blame yourself." "It's not all your fault." "Cana." "What do you want to say?" "My cards didn't foretell that Brain II would show up at Kardia Cathedral." "And they didn't give me accurate pairings either for splitting into teams." "right?" "Now that you mention it..." "We didn't mesh with each other." "You mean someone or something was using your divinations?" "Most likely." "Jeez." "This whole thing is frustrating." "now isn't the time to review our mistakes!" "then do something about this situation!" "Wendy's right!" "young lady..." "It's the "Actually" people!" "Who might you folks be?" "we belong to the Archaeological Society." "actually." "What's going on?" "It's noisy out there..." "What business do you have with Lucy?" "And who are you?" "Macao." "I would know your purpose in coming here." "Actually it concerns an extremely important matter." "We need to speak with Lucy-sama directly." "Quite so!" "It has to do with that sky." "Lucy and Natsu were both captured by Oracion Seis." "What?" "!" "Would you tell us?" "We would like to hear even a little information. actually." "yes?" "Will's great-grandson." "This is unexpected..." "Jude Heartfilia-sama." "Lucy's dad..." "This story is starting to come together somehow..." "I have devoted my life to seeing that the Infinity Clock stays sealed away." "Are you a Celestial Spirit Wizard? I just know the history of the Infinity Clock." "My purpose is to give the warning if there is a threat of chaos spreading throughout the world and to take precautions against it." "it happened several months ago... a hand of the Infinity Clock was discovered." "The ruins were there to keep magic sealed away. it was too late." "it had actually had fallen into Jude's hands." "the clock hand possesses an extremely high level of magic that is easy to track down." "it's very likely that chaos would be summoned." "I got in touch with him." "I wrapped it in a magic cloth." "Jude-sama searched for another safe place to seal it away." "actually." "So my guess is that Lucy's father meant to entrust that to her..." "How dangerous is the Infinity Clock?" "It's powerful magic that activates the endless nightmare..." "Real Nightmare." "Real Nightmare? thereby controlling time itself! but it doesn't actually manipulate time." "It's all a matter of the human sense..." "Do you understand?" "Don't ask me!" "The control of time is what's meant by "chaos will descend"." "And that'll bring about the end of the world?" "I'm finding it hard to picture that." "actually?" "What are you actually doing right now?" "Who is actually standing in front of you?" "You'll lose the ability to comprehend every last bit of your own mind." "A person's memories and consciousness are actually an accumulation of all of his or her experiences up to now." "actually you'd lose all sense of self." "That's some serious stuff." "Chaos" doesn't even begin to describe it." "The Infinity Clock is in the sky over Zentopia Cathedral." "I'm told that the roots of the religion's liturgy comes from that." "It's said that the people who survived the chaos of the clock long ago are the ones who actually founded Zentopia." "actually. often making it the target of evildoers." "Fairy Tail." "Please stop it..." "Stop the Infinity Clock!" "right?" "Nope." "too!" "Alright." "We'll accept this job." "Fairy Tail will take care of this!" "Brain II!" "Klodoa?" "yeah." "your skill." "I'm impressed as always!" "this smart alec brat!" "It's also impressive how Imitatia-sama used her." "Michelle..." "Tell me..." "Why...?" "Say something!" "not Michelle." "Stop making me tell you that." "We have a Celestial Spirit Wizard." "The endless nightmare will begin... yes?" "We heard something like that." "right? it seems the Celestial Spirit Wizard is cursed with 100 years of sleep and goes into a chrysalis-like state." "Chrysalis?" "What the hell is that?" "! the advance of time on the body and mind becomes extremely slow as a reaction." "Then the person sleeps for 100 years." "It's a sort of sacrifice so that we'll be able to control the Infinity Clock." "That's just like treating people as tools!" "So what?" "You've already slept once for seven years." "That's nothing compared to 100 years!" "I'll never forget how confusing and painful it was coming home." "we didn't spend any of it with them." "Can you understand that feeling?" "It made me think how cruel it is to lose time." "we had friends who accepted us." "Did those Celestial Spirit Wizards have that same kind of support?" "which is exactly why it can be called a "curse"." "You'll be cursed the same way." "I was really happy when I met you." "Nee-san." "You're saying this is for my sake?" "!" "Lying to me?" "!" "Getting close to me?" "!" "It wasn't all a lie." "What about my father?" "What about you calling me Nee-san?" "That's... okay." "Let's can the chatter." "let's get started." "Imitatia." "it will be time to say farewell." "I'm actually very grateful that you accepted this job." "please take this..." "Me?" "this was discovered in the ancient ruins along with the clock hand." "actually." "you're actually the only one who can master this." "Alright." "I'll try to use it." "That's the stuff!" "we shall also spare no effort in doing whatever we can to help." "We shall continue researching ways to attack the problem of Real Nightmare." "please do." "how are we gonna storm the enemy camp?" "No worries there." "Reinforcements are coming." "I'm surprised you were able to find that." "Good work." "That's definitely a surveillance lacrima." "It's repaired and the recorded footage has been restored as much as possible." "I see." "Play it back right now." "sir!" "This is the priest who periodically visited the members of Oracion Seis." "Freeze it!" "Enhance!" "sir!" "That's Cardinal Rapowant!" "You..." "You were the one?" "!" "old man!" "laddy!" "get in position!" "Roger!" "begin!" "Awesome!" "Go!" "Just one more effort!" "Don't take a break!" "But this is pretty tiring!" "I know your asses can do it!" "I'm sure you guys can pull it off! so believe in yourselves and shake that ass!" "That's the redesigned Christina!" "I see." "Blue Pegasus..." "This is the reinforcements?" "too." "though..." "Would you quit your grumbling and get on board?" "!" "I'm stuck here minding the fort again?" "My divination is on target this time!" "We leave the attack to the handpicked team and do what we can do on the ground." "Everyone!" "Let's get fired up and begin making our attack!" "Let's move out!" "Men!" "Hey!" "Control this thing!" "is something wrong?" "!" "The stern's taken damage!" "stay here." "M-Men!" "Nee-chan!" "Me too!" "It's broken!" "somebody broke it!" "In that case..." "An intruder..." "Nee-chan!" "Oracion Seis..." "Racer?" "!" "you sneaked on board." "An impressive Man!" "I'm going to... throw you overboard." "He disappeared?" "!" "Bastard!" "You're slow." "I'll get you for that." "Are you... fast?" "Here I come!" "Nee-san!" "Leave him to me!" "Go back by everyone!" "I'll be fine!" "that was..." "Racer?" "!" "Mira..." "Ichiya!" "Go after Mira!" "Men!" "Don't be ridiculous!" "Leave him to my sister!" "What?" "!" "But... just hurry!" "Please... repairs!" "pitch in!" "Sure!" "Mira." "You're not going back there!" "Don't interfere." "I told you..." "You're not getting on that ship!" "Brats..." "Survive and come home." "Hey!" "Kinana's not here." "Say what?" "!" "What's wrong?" "her spells have gotten worse." "What?" "!" "I can hear you." "You're calling me..." "You're doin' it!" "More!" "More!" "Alright!" "Now!" "help!" "Get over here!" "My butt's on fire!" "It's so hot!" "Help us!" "Help!" "That voice..." "Help us!" "Hurry up!" "We can't allow this!" "The fire extinguisher lacrima!" "We're gonna let you people out just temporarily... that's cool!" "get out of there!" "You don't need to tell me that." "He's strong!" "this is no time to be moved!" "Our butts are still on fire!" "get out of here!" "We'll handle this!" "our butts are on fire!" "It'd be a waste not to use them!" "fire!" "Roger!" "Gas-Butt Triple Ecstasy!" "Fire Special!" "Awesome!" "too!" "This is what you call killing two birds with one stone!" "Now I'm goin' straight to Lucy!" "Wait!" "Coco!" "What are you doin' here?" "!" "she's gotta be a prisoner." "Take me with you!" "That wizard broke out?" "What shall we do?" "He's already too late." "Real Nightmare is going to be activated." "The endless nightmare is beginning." "Chaos..." "Cover the whole world..." "What's happening with Gray and Juvia lately?" "I'm not interested in that half-naked bastard!" "Huh." "Then I wonder what's gonna happen with Elfman and Eva?" "don't care!" "huh?" "Wouldn't it be better to say Labyrinth of Love?" "Next time:" "Spiral of Time!" "you don't have to bend over backwards to tie into the title." "I wasn't thinking about that!" "You can't even look me in the eye!" "Fairy Tail 146 Trans as the Infinity Clock was stolen from them and their mission to recover it ended in failure." "All of the Celestial Spirit Wizards' biological links were broken and the Infinity Clock's true nature was revealed." "time itself began to fall into chaos..." "You say the person who broke out the imprisoned new Oracion Seis was Cardinal Rapowant?" "!" "sir." "I believe it's indisputable." "Please let me investigate." "No." "The time isn't right yet." "why not?" "You don't understand how big Zentopia is." "that's..." "I'm sorry to say..." "I heard." "I see..." "I'm disgusted with myself..." "There's no point in leading the Enforcement and Detention Corps if I can't take action during a crisis." "Don't give up." "As long as we do everything that we can..." "Doranbolt..." "His Grace!" "Your Grace!" "Why is Time's Chaos upon us?" "!" "Why has the Infinity Clock appeared?" "!" "Does this mean the destruction of civilization?" "!" "Your Grace!" "There is nothing to worry about." "This is Zentopia's way of putting the world in order." "the world will be reborn and we will begin to walk upon a new path." "Putting the world in order... and throwing time into chaos..." "Is that really putting the world in order?" "that girl Lucy is being sacrificed and my duty to protect the Infinity Clock is..." "Spiral of Time!" "Men!" "and this handpicked team of Fairy Tail members will most definitely save Lucy-san and Natsu-kun!" "That's a Man! who pitted herself against Racer so we could charge ahead!" "Lucy and Natsu!" "I hope those two are okay..." "I'm sure they're fine!" "How can you be so certain?" "I have faith!" "Natsu promised it'd be okay!" "Then what about Lucy?" "too!" "Yeah." "I have the same feeling." "too!" "It's a Man to have faith like that!" "The whole bunch wears rose-colored glasses... the pride of the continent..." "We're nearing Zentopia Cathedral!" "Men!" "Where do you intend to go?" "Where the archbishop is!" "And what are you going to do?" "Pay him back! I'm gonna kick his ass!" "His Grace?" "Are you alright?" "get fired up!" "Right!" "You guys are still around?" "!" "True evil never goes on the lam empty-handed!" "right!" "we'll make do with another treasure!" "right!" "knock yourselves out." "we will." "begin the treasure hunt!" "Right!" "It wouldn't even be worth using Rupture Magic on you people." "We'll be ba..." "What the hell is he?" "!" "The Cleaner..." "Gatman." "Gatman?" "It seems you've got quite a lot of magic in you." "Be careful." "He's an extremely dangerous opponent." "Is that so?" "Now I'm gettin' fired up." "deployments are complete!" "Alright!" "Aim..." "Fire!" "Captain!" "What about confirming my order?" "sir..." "Begin firing!" "men..." "This is also an effect of Real Nightmare?" "Don't give me that!" "This ain't... nothin'..." "Is this any time for clowning around?" "!" "Look who's talkin'!" "And you call yourself a Man?" "!" "W-What's happening?" "!" "Wendy!" "You've become an adult!" "Carla!" "Happy..." "This is no good." "Everyone's fallen under the influence of Real Nightmare..." "Wait." "Then why am I fine?" "I see!" "Could it be..." "Requip!" "I'll use this ancient weapon that's said to keep evil at bay to cut through the Real Nightmare vibrations!" "Meaning you hit us?" "!" "We're back to normal!" "I thought the archbishop's bedroom would be under heavy guard... huh?" "What's that?" "What the hell is that?" "Shhh!" "The archbishop is in here!" "This is a pain in the ass." "Let's quit with the hiding." "Huh?" "Wait!" "right?" "There is nothing to worry about..." "This is Zentopia's way of putting the world in order." "There's somethin' I wanna ask you." "Would you give me an honest answer?" "There is nothing to worry about..." "This is Zentopia's way of putting the world in order." "are you listenin' to me?" "There is nothing to worry about..." "This isn't working." "This is Zentopia's way of putting the world in order." "What the hell's wrong with him?" "Maybe someone is using magic to control the archbishop?" "That guy..." "Zentopia's Cardinal Rapowant!" "are you not?" "I guess my reputation precedes me." "I never figured even a cardinal of Zentopia would know about me." "I gotta decline." "see." "I give you two credit for making it this far." "But you won't get out of here alive." "Sounds like fun." "Let's see what ya got." "I'm fast." "No one can... catch up with..." "Stay away!" "Get back!" "Give it up already." "This battle is over." "Faster..." "Be... faster!" "What did you do?" "Your speed increased even more?" "!" "You certainly are fast but..." "How?" "How... can you be faster... than me?" "You're just running away." "I'm moving forward." "the person who wants to help their friends is stronger than the person who escapes." "What are you running away from?" "Running away?" "What was I... running away from?" "Running away..." "I was always... running away... weren't you?" "From... myself?" "That's right." "From your own past." "fear..." "A painful past that made you want to escape..." "I was the same way once." "I kept running from my bitter past." "That's why I understand..." "the pain in your heart." "No one's going to chase you anymore." "You don't have to run away." "Someone is calling me..." "I have to look for that person." "Racer failed?" "stop them." "Zentopia's doctrine demands absolute loyalty." "Never doubt never doubt..." "What happens if you doubt?" "Traitors... will scatter!" "What the hell?" "!" "Magic that makes you explode..." "Rupture Magic!" "I expand the magic that's in your body in the blink of an eye and make it explode!" "Pull yourself together..." "I'll clean them up!" "Make a fool outta me..." "I like your spirit!" "You can't!" "You'll dance with him!" "That's a nice rupture!" "You'll keep dancing until there's no more magic left in your body!" "I ain't got time to scrap with a clown like this..." "Natsu-chan." "I-I can't move!" "I made it so you can't!" "You!" "What are you doing?" "! I've lost the ability to tell who the bad guys are!" "I don't know what to do..." "Hughes..." "I don't need to be able to move to use Rupture Magic." "Hughes!" "It's not like... making someone freeze is all I can do!" "get out of here!" "But..." "I want you to at least confirm with your own eyes what's right!" "Now!" "Hurry up and go!" "O-Okay!" "Come on!" "It's Fairy Tail!" "Don't let them near the cathedral!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Don't underestimate the redesigned Christina!" "Men!" "Wow!" "Men." "They're here..." "Fairy Tail... but I won't let them do as they please." "Kanaloa!" "An octopus is no match for my redesigned Christina!" "Men!" "huh?" "Th-This is dangerous parfum!" "Knock it off the ship!" "Wha...?" "!" "Kanaloa." "I'm going to His Grace and ask him directly..." "No... what happened seven years ago will occur again..." "Fire spiral anchors!" "Men!" "The redesigned Christina and I will take care of this octopus by ourselves!" "everyone get out!" "you'll..." "Never mind me!" "Just go!" "everyone!" "Yeah!" "Go... my friend..." "Men!" "Ichiya-san... actin' so cool..." "He was a Man among men!" "Ichiya always manages to survive." "We're going to rescue Natsu and Lucy!" "Yeah!" "There is nothing to worry about." "This is Zentopia's way of putting the world in order." "Gildarts!" "Natsu..." "Coco?" "Your Holiness..." "Natsu." "I know about you." "Natsu Dragneel... a Dragon Wizard..." "I know this smell..." "You smell the same as Master Zero." "Master Zero?" "!" "I don't know if he's Master Zero or not but this bastard is definitely the one who's mind controlling the archbishop." "What's wrong?" "!" "Gildarts' voice reached me!" "Cardinal Rapowant is mind controlling the archbishop!" "What?" "!" "R-Rapowant is controlling His Grace..." "Then he borrowed His Grace's authority to use me like a puppet?" "!" "Rapowant! huh?" "And if I am?" "It's obvious!" "I'm gonna mop the floor with ya!" "now..." "I'm the one who's gonna mop the floor with him." "Gildarts..." "Let me do it!" "Two hotheads..." "Laki!" "you two might as well fight each other." "What was that?" "!" "her life is forfeit." "Bastard... this ain't funny." "You?" "!" "Rapowant?" "!" "Byro..." "They're coming..." "Nee-san." "My comrades are..." "You mean Fairy Tail?" "!" "But they'll lose their lives." "What do you mean?" "Why will they lose their lives?" "!" "Nee-san... they'll die." "That's..." "Nee-san." "You're mine!" "Michelle... what the hell's goin' on here?" "!" "Time's become warped!" "there'll be big trouble!" "what's gonna happen?" "You're gonna delve into that?" "I can't get fired up!" "Lucy's still captured and there are plenty other points for you to get fired up about." "Next time:" "To the Infinity Castle!" "it's like a pent-up feeling..." "Never mind that!" "Hurry up and go save Lucy!" "R-Right!" "Bastard... this ain't funny." "You?" "!" "Rapowant?" "!" "Byro..." "Natsu!" "Thank goodness you're safe!" "Naturally!" "You think I'd be done in by the likes of these chumps?" "!" "treat the cardinal." "Right!" "This person is a cardinal?" "Unbelievable..." "You even dare break into this holy sanctuary?" "I've never seen a more insolent guild..." "Byro..." "Bastard... you won't be able to stop Real Nightmare." "This world is going to end. its source is the Infinity Clock... it was called the Infinity Castle." "Infinity Castle? the Infinity Castle will release all of the magic it's accumulated." "100 years' worth of magic." "There is no way to fight against it." "Why are you doing this?" "!" "To return this world to chaos." "There's no other reason than that." "I can return the world to the state of chaos it was in prior to the founding of Zentopia." "The time has come for people to unleash the malice and desires they've kept sealed deep inside. right?" "But what does that have to do with Lucy-san?" "To the Infinity Castle! you possess a high level of magic." "This clock that was sealed away by Celestial Spirit Wizards can only be controlled by the magic of a Celestial Spirit Wizard." "Who do you expect to do that?" "!" "Relax." "You're just a sacrifice." "The clock is in our possession." "the Infinity Castle will be in tune with our intentions. discord will disappear from the world." "I'm proud." "you're going to give people true freedom. you'll have to put an end to that girl's life." "There's no other way." "from Zentopia!" "What's happening?" "!" "My body...!" "Rapowant." "I get it." "You're also one of the fakes." "created by Personification Magic." "I'm the one who used that!" "What nonsense are you talking...?" "!" "We've seen a lot of puppets on our way here." "They had the same form as you." "That's how we know." "You were merely a tool." "Wrong!" "I'm a Zentopia cardinal!" "I'm not... a doll..." "I'm..." "I'm..." "That smell..." "Master Zero's hair..." "Pathetic thing..." "I guess it was made to think it was human." "Not just Rapowant..." "My Legion was also nothing more than tools." "I've realized the path I should take." "we should save the world." "I will dispose of Lucy." "Over my dead body!" "Bastard..." "I have a score to even with this guy." "The rest of you save Lucy." "Gildarts." "I know how to get to the Infinity Castle!" "Alright!" "Lead on!" "Coco..." "I'm glad you're safe." "You!" "Sammy!" "I shall carry out Byro-sama's will." "What are you talkin' about?" "!" "What are you trying to do?" "!" "this is my decision." "there's no time to lose!" "Wait!" "Sammy! but I don't need to calculate to know this. the answer is obvious." "Happy!" "sir!" "I won't let you interfere!" "Damn you!" "Happy!" "I told you that I'm your opponent!" "Natsu!" "Please save Lucy!" "Leave it to me!" "This way!" "you stay here as our communications liaison." "come with me!" "Alright!" "Halt!" "Don't you take your eyes off of me!" "Have you forgotten?" "I have the power to nullify all magic. huh? will surely win." "You're big on logic." "In fact I have you on the defense." "It appears that Rapowant is no longer with us." "His role was already done. he was disposable." "What's that?" "!" "but a life is a life!" "Incorrect." "What's important is the heart." "That's what that thing was lacking in." "Heart..." "Is it the same magic that was cast on Cana?" "Likely." "Wendy?" "My Healing Magic has no effect." "no..." "His fever hasn't gone down either." "Why?" "showing he was under a spell for a long time." "It's clinging to him like a disease." "the archbishop won't recover." "What should we do?" "If I can perform delicate Healing Magic upon him without damaging his brain... we may be able to learn something about the Infinity Clock." "Wendy." "I will." "Something's coming closer." "Is it Natsu?" "!" "No..." "This is..." "I found you!" "My calculations were right." "That's..." "Samuel?" "!" "Lucy-nee-san belongs to me." "I won't let anyone else have her!" "Michelle?" "!" "That may have been the case once." "But I know why he's here." "Nee-san." "I made an error..." "It's ironic." "while we're protecting her." "Even if I can't fly..." "I can use my own legs to climb." "Byro-sama..." "I... couldn't you?" "What do you intend to do now?" "Now...?" "was just used as a tool." "Which means so were you and I..." "Then it wasn't Zentopia's doctrine." "I was just being used by the new Oracion Seis." "isn't it?" "I feel like such a loser..." "Gatman-chama..." "Gatman-chama will shut down." "Goodnight." "What the hell is that?" "The rest is up to you..." "Coco... everyone!" "That girl is fast! we can get up to the Infinity Castle through the eye at the triangle of the cathedral's center!" "Lucy!" "the Captain of the Enforcement and Detention Corps of the Magic Council. you won't be influenced by the magic coming from those chains." "Stay quiet in here!" "Direct Line!" "Mama!" "Stay calm!" "I'm going to take you inside this barrier!" "quickly!" "Inside the barrier!" "Look." "His complexion is improving little by little." "Carefully..." "Delicately..." "It looks tough..." "This is the first time she's tried to cure someone continuously over the course of several hours." "Gildarts Clive!" "Why aren't you giving me everything you've got?" "I didn't want the brats to see it..." "Me pulverizing you..." "You jest with me..." "That was a good warming up." "pitting muscles against muscles." "too." "Shouldn't you take a little break?" "I'm fine." "It's finished." "Already?" "!" "Wow!" "When did you improve this much?" "that's all." "the archbishop has been freed from that magic." "too!" "Those are some impressive skills." "We sure can rely on you!" "which saved the archbishop's life..." "She removed it..." "I see!" "What's wrong?" "! but there's another way to stop it." "What is it?" "We beat all the members of the new Oracion Seis!" "The members of the new Oracion Seis?" "Beat all of them?" "!" "What would that do?" "remember?" "I remember Michelle engraving the sixth seal..." "Those seals must serve as proof of ownership of the Infinity Clock. right?" "too!" "sir!" "Alright!" "I'll pass that on to Natsu and the others right away!" "too!" "Me too!" "you two!" "Hey!" "Did everyone catch that?" "!" "The Infinity Clock..." "I can't hear so good!" "but it's a telepathic message from Warren!" "What?" "!" "If we beat all the members of the new Oracion Seis we'll be able to stop the Infinity Clock?" "!" "too?" "!" "I like how easy it is to understand." "right?" "!" "A simple strategy that stirs up the blood!" "Now that's a Man!" "I'm all fired up!" "Don't make me laugh." "You're..." "Cobra?" "!" "I can hear it... despair..." "I'm gonna take him!" "You're the last one." "there's someone else I want to finish off!" "right?" "I think he likes me." "But..." "I heard them..." "The screams from his heart..." "Silence!" "Natsu!" "Let's go!" "Yeah..." "I'm gonna wallop you!" "What are you laughing about?" "It's not even worth answering." "can't you?" "What is this place?" "!" "A greenhouse?" "!" "Why would something' like that be inside a clock?" "!" "How the hell should I know?" "!" "cretins." "That's Angel..." "I'll take her!" "What the hell?" "!" "Everybody's deciding' on their own!" "just go!" "whatever." "anyway..." "Boring..." "I have to fight you again?" "Don't worry!" "I'll make it interesting for you soon enough!" "I discovered an intruder!" "Midnight!" "right?" "!" "We're not letting you people get any higher than this." "Alright!" "I'll take this guy on!" "Salamander!" "This one's mine!" "Gajeel?" "!" "You're the one that's cocky! right?" "I take it?" "You better find that out for yourself." "Salamander!" "don't decide by yourself!" "Leaving this one in Gajeel's hands and pressing on is a Man!" "Let's hurry!" "asshole!" "That attack..." "Spicy!" "Sugar Boy..." "You still intend to fight us?" "see Armor Girl?" "Circumstances have changed." "Byro and the new Oracion Seis are enemies." "That's just crazy!" "Snake Boy?" "Get lost." "What?" "Be destroyed by your own voice." "Wha...?" "!" "I'm losing control of my hound dogs!" "No!" "Get out of my sight!" "Unbelievable!" "I was so excited about fighting Ice Boy again!" "Armor Girl and Snake Boy!" "Titania." "Lance of the Iron Dragon!" "too..." "Is that Reflector or whatever it's called?" "That kinda magic is annoying." "right?" "too!" "Shut up!" "Lance of the Iron Dragon..." "Demon Logs!" "I get more powerful when I eat!" "Roar of the Iron Dragon!" "You've made me want to see your face... when you're in agony." "who gives a shit?" "!" "Sword of the Iron Dragon!" "What did you in was the rarely-seen Spiral Pain!" "Come at me with more power!" "Is that all there is?" "Give me everything you got!" "It's too wide..." "The gap between our strength..." "You got beyond the frustration of being betrayed and fought for what you believe in. there's nothin' more important than the lives of our friends." "Even if the fate of the world is in the balance... but I'm out of time." "Goddammit!" "I was just gettin' started!" "What the...?" "!" "Gajeel!" "Seriously?" "!" "The hub of the magic power that flows through the Infinity Castle... but..." "I don't smell Lucy's scent." "Why not?" "!" "Maybe it's because she's linked up to the Infinity Clock!" "I'm picking up Michelle's scent!" "it could lead us to Lucy!" "Alright!" "Lucy!" "Natsu..." "Elfman..." "Coco..." "Nee-san's never going back to you people." "All Nee-san needs is me!" "Michelle!" "I won't let anyone have Nee-san!" "I guess an angel appeared this time." "An angel?" "Aren't angels creatures from fantasy stories? so what do you want me to say?" "maybe you're talking about me." "How the hell could you take what I said to mean that?" "right?" "Next time:" "An Angel's Tears!" "Since when has anyone identified you as an angel?" "Maybe since the day I was born..." "I'm surprised you can say that with a straight face." "Michelle!" "Don't come any closer to Nee-san!" "Leave us alone!" "Listen to me and your lives will be spared." "What's that?" "!" "You have some gall tricking us!" "And you call yourself a Man?" "!" "Release the princess now!" "Everyone..." "Michelle!" "Don't worry." "Nee-san." "That's our line!" "Elfman and I will draw her away." "Coco." "Roger!" "Let's go! but that's him..." "How can I put it...?" "Shut up!" "I'm sorry for being an inept master!" "Don't take offense at every little thing!" "What's the status of Kinana's search party? but they haven't found any trace of her yet." "Shit." "I'm getting impatient..." "Is there anything I can do?" "The Master should just sit around with gravitas." "By the way..." "I haven't seen Romeo lately..." "I still thought of him as a rugrat..." "I'm trying to say he's become a man." "Yeesh." "He reminds me of someone I know..." "Ow..." "Lucy-nee..." "Michelle..." "An Angel's Tears!" "Man!" "Elfman!" "Coco!" "E-Eight points..." "I'm alright!" "be careful!" "She locks on to the vitals!" "remember?" "One shot!" "Don't say it twice!" "isn't it? they'll suffer intense pain and lose control of their body." "gluttonous Michelle?" "That was just a performance so I could blend in with the guild." "And my name is Imitatia." "I'm a member of the new Oracion Seis." "How dare you?" "!" "You damned liar!" "Intense pain and losin' control of your body is what you get from this!" "Ow!" "You're not coming out!" "It's useless." "My body doesn't feel pain." "I'll never give in." "I won't be taken in by any silly emotions." "huh?" "Then why's your eye like that?" "My eye?" "your eye. has a stronger brightness in their eyes." "They don't have a hesitant look in their eye like you do." "I..." "Coco!" "How you doin' over there?" "!" "She's not budging!" "I'm not hesitant about anything!" "This is all for Nee-san's sake!" "My heart won't be swayed!" "we're not hesitant either! the only way to save Lucy is by wiping' the floor with you!" "So I'm gonna go all out!" "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" "Man!" "That doesn't feel hot at all!" "Take Over!" "Bear Arms!" "What is this?" "!" "My cilice brings pain to any and all vulnerable spots!" "Brilliant Flame of the Fire Dragon!" "Tricking and using Lucy Heartfilia!" "Is that your duty?" "!" "Duty?" "!" "Coco!" "I don't follow such thoughtless things as "duty"." "I follow my own heart and decide what to do." "It's exactly because my heart aches that I have such strong feelings." "Magic is the heart." "And no one can beat the power of my feelings." "Well?" "No good." "I can't find her." "What should we do?" "!" "Samuel will kill..." "Don't lose your cool." "This place is huge." "He won't be able to find her so easily." "Legion wants to stop the Infinity Clock just as much as we do." "So why...?" "Sammy?" "That's the decision he made." "His viewpoint is different from ours." "But he's completely mistaken." "aren't you?" "Do something!" "I have no memory of becoming his big brother!" "This isn't a duty or a calculation..." "It has nothing to do with Exceeds or humans or guilds or the church..." "What's important is what I'm doing for whose sake..." "Nii-san!" "we've finished deciphering it." "You know how to stop Real Nightmare? thereby negating right to ownership." "Then Happy's hunch was right!" "So he's backed up by evidence." "Happy did an outstanding job this time around." "Grim Reaper and Racer have been defeated." "There are four left." "Lu-chan will be saved!" "all we need now is action." "Natsu and the others will definitely defeat the new Oracion Seis!" "Ultra-vibrations that shake the very air." "no matter how skilled the swordsman." "Can you hear what I'm thinking?" "All I can hear is that you're going to beat me." "those are the only words in my head." "I can hear your impatience at trying to bring me down." "That and your indomitable will... you sure yap a lot." "too." "Oh?" "It's the voices of my friends... so don't you lose either!" "That's your own voice." "based on what you wish to happen." "I don't care." "But I always hear the voices of my friends in my head." "They're my inspiration and the wellspring of my strength." "Don't you hear any voices in your head?" "Your words grate on my ears." "huh?" "too." "Why are you trying to make innocent people suffer the same way?" "You're referring to Real Nightmare?" "I don't give a damn." "while you're surrounded by them." "I don't like that." "Stupid envy..." "Come out of the shadows and into the sunlight." "your feelings will change naturally!" "Look at things?" "As if you know anything about me..." "Four of you left..." "That makes things easier." "Why are you taking your clothes off?" "but this time is gonna be different." "I hate men who are persistent. but I'm gonna hit you with everything I've got." "Huh?" "Where..." "Where am I again?" "huh? the engraved seals will disappear and they'll lose ownership." "Real Nightmare will vanish." "What about Lucy-san?" "Lucy will be released." "What is that?" "It feels like the sky is in turmoil... the effects of Real Nightmare have weakened." "It somehow feels like the Infinity Clock is struggling to protect the engraved seals." "Hi!" "How are you doing?" "You again?" "!" "Ice Geyser!" "An angel's sunshine is bright." "Huh?" "That was my decoy!" "Ice Make Death Scythe!" "You..." "It seems that your angel went back home to heaven in a hurry." "Went back... to heaven?" "Come." "Run me through." "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "like an angel... send me to the sky like the angel." "Send me after him." "Pierce this body." "This scythe is the scythe of Death himself." "Don't talk stupid!" "You mean you can't?" "that's right." "I can't." "I'll destroy you!" "The cost is 30." "I summon Baraquiel!" "Yeesh!" "One right after another!" "my ass!" "You're just a human!" "Destroy him..." "Crap!" "You!" "is here!" "You again?" "Ange-myun." "That shyness of yours is such a turn-on." "You're my apple." "Baraquiel!" "Get rid of them both!" "Cut it out!" "Don't get between two people who are in love!" "you!" "I'm jealous of you for getting to be alone with Ange-myu!" "Give that role to me!" "don't you?" "!" "Natsu and Coco will do something to get my old girlfriend out of a pinch." "Old girlfriend?" "Did you hear that?" "!" "Gray has given the two of us his blessing!" "Utterly disagreeable... let's go on our honeymoon!" "You're repulsive!" "Is that what you call divine punishment?" "Barbarous... boorish... with not even a shred of intelligence!" "I know what you're doing." "The kids call it "tsundere"." "You're both fools." "The cost is 100." "Come from the light!" "Pulverize them in my name!" "the angel who blows the horn at the end of the world!" "Come and get it!" "I would die for you!" "I won't reward you with that blessing." "pathetic wreck!" "I'll show you how I can stop the attack!" "This is... a scream... from your heart!" "Dan!" "Wake up!" "too..." "Witch..." "That man lacks beauty and intelligence." "He isn't even worth wiping out." "Don't talk like you're so high and mighty." "you say... what the hell are you?" "!" "I'm an angel." "What?" "!" "No." "It's probably better to call me a girl who dreams of becoming an angel." "I'll metamorphose into an angel!" "That's right." "From a girl's fancy to a true angel... is a miraculous magic that will wash away all of my sins with holy light!" "Sins..." "The sin of being born human." "Do you seriously believe that?" "Summoning angels shortens my lifespan." "But I don't care." "That's the sacrifice I have to make for becoming an angel myself." "Those coins..." "They're your life..." "Your lifespan?" "!" "But these wings are elusive." "the more ugliness I can see in the human world." "That's right..." "This world is only about people with conflicting desires crashing into each other!" "like an angel... then leave..." "Fading away... beautifully... you're dead." "What?" "What "sin" are you talking about?" "Who told you that?" "This world is dirty?" "Bullshit!" "Look at him. but he's honest with himself and lives with all his might!" "My comrades are the same way!" "and cry with all their strength..." "They're all alive!" "they haven't gotten nearly enough!" "It'll never be enough!" "You say the funniest things." "Now I'm pissed." "to the point where it's okay to fade away?" "! as if you would know?" "!" "How dare you?" "!" "it sounds like nothin' more than the ramblings of some brat pretending to be an angel!" "you say?" "You don't need to go to all the trouble of disappearing." "You're as good as gone right now!" "You mock... my wish?" "!" "You..." "That body... annihilate that man!" "That's right!" "Destroy him!" "Slice the fool to ugly ribbons!" "Yeesh..." "This doesn't bode well..." "Idiot!" "You've been swallowed up by your own magic!" "Stay away!" "be destroyed!" "Let go of me!" "Forget it!" "you're gonna be murdered by this angel you love so much!" "What?" "the more it tends to choose its user!" "the magic will take over and destroy them!" "I'm not weak!" "My feelings are stronger than anyone's!" "What feelings?" "!" "Look at this angel!" "Is this what your much-admired angels are supposed to look like?" "!" "This thing ain't gonna take you to any blue skies!" "It'll drag you down into a pit of darkness!" "It's ugly..." "This is the true form of the magic you got a hold of!" "It's feeding off of your life just so it can propagate!" "Look at it closely!" "It's what you are right now!" "This is me?" "Who are you?" "!" "You're no angel!" "You're human!" "You're a human who's alive right now!" "S-Silence..." "I'm an angel!" "Moron!" "You'll be gone for good!" "to be sucked up by this blob of flesh?" "!" "This is... me?" "Hang in there!" "Don't lose to any magic!" "Don't disappear!" "Disappear?" "Like this..." "N-No..." "I don't want to disappear!" "I don't want to disappear..." "I want to live!" "I want to live!" "You disappear... angel!" "Go back to heaven!" "It's over." "Nice timing..." "Gray I reduced the core of Ange-pon's Angel Magic to its limit." "the lifespan you paid out has been refunded to you." "your enemy?" "there's no deep meaning to it..." "Letting you wink out of existence like that would've left a bad taste in my mouth." "I lost." "You're already back to your old personality!" "too!" "One of the engraved seals has disappeared." "There are three left." "can't you?" "!" "Hold on!" "I swear I'll get you outta here!" "There are three members of Oracion Seis left." "We'll mow 'em all down at once!" "but you're the one who's been the human punching bag through all this." "Hey!" "This isn't the time or place to be sayin' that!" "you haven't been able to lift a finger against Michelle." "I-I'm not good with that kind of attack!" "excuses!" "I got no retort for that!" "Next time:" "I Can Hear the Voices of My Friends!" "it feels like Michelle isn't putting' her whole heart into those attacks..." "Someone who's getting his butt handed to him has no call saying that." "shut up! can't you?" "!" "Hold on!" "I swear I'll get you outta here!" "Warning." "Another one of the engraved seals has been removed." "the owners will lose the right of possession." "Lucy!" "Get a hold of yourself!" "it's pointless." "Lucy Heartfilia will merge with the Infinity Clock." "it'll become possible for us to take control of Real Nightmare." "What?" "!" "I won't let anyone lay a hand on Nee-san." "She's going to stay with me forever." "Forever..." "For eternity..." "Recently on Fairy Tail... the new Oracion Seis appeared before us." "They stole the Infinity Clock and abducted Lucy." "We handpicked members headed for Infinity Castle to try to stop Real Nightmare." "we'll be able to stop Real Nightmare." "there are three left!" "Lucy." "everyone!" "Everyone...?" "Michelle's not here... that's right." "She said that was all a lie..." "Natsu!" "What's going on over there?" "!" "How's Lucy?" "! Lucy's gonna be swallowed up by the Infinity Clock!" "Say what?" "!" "I Can Hear the Voices of My Friends!" "Lucy is merging with the Infinity Clock?" "!" "That must be why we can't reach her by telepathy!" "Is there anything we can do?" "You need to rest a little!" "everyone!" "Hurry up and beat Oracion Seis!" "it'll be too late!" "I can hear it... so my engraved seal on the Infinity Clock will be erased..." "Titania!" "Give up." I don't know what those words mean!" "eh?" "but you won't beat me!" "Requip!" "we each lost something irreplaceable!" "it was his memories." "it was his heart!" "her lifespan!" "What you scum lack is the resolve to lose something important!" "No one can surpass the weight upon our hearts!" "Who is this?" "Romeo!" "What are you doing over there?" "!" "I stowed away on Christina." "there was no way I was gonna stay home!" "but this time... can you hear me?" "!" "Yeah!" "meet up with somebody." "there's no time!" "They have to beat the remaining Oracion Seis members and save Lucy!" "Which way should I go?" "so head that way!" "Got it!" "Happy!" "Lily!" "Yes?" "!" "I can hear you!" "too!" "I'm counting on you!" "stop Samuel!" "Roger!" "sir!" "What is the archbishop's condition?" "Byro!" "Hey!" "Where's Gildarts?" "!" "He descended into the depths with his comrades." "I expect he's okay... do you know what happened to Samuel and the others?" "You have no more reason to go after Lucy!" "their seals will disappear." "And if that happens..." "But you're too late to stop Lucy Heartfilia from merging with the Infinity Clock." "Am I wrong?" "We don't..." "There is still a way." "Your Grace!" "I had a... trying nightmare for the longest time... which brought this situation on." "these people rescued me. and amid this chaos..." "Um..." "There's something we'd like you to tell us!" "right?" "don't you?" "You say you wanna be with Lucy forever?" "What about Lucy's feelings?" "! she wants to believe in you again." "Can't you hear that voice?" "!" "There's nothing to hesitate over." "You're just trying to take back what you lost..." "Imitatia." "Michelle!" "I'm sure Nee-san will be happier this way!" "we were always together!" "Liar!" "Romeo!" "Why are you still lying?" "!" "You're not the real Michelle!" "it was a big lie!" "That's not true!" "I was... imagine how happy she was when she met you!" "Why did you betray her?" "!" "Why did you tell such an awful lie?" "!" "She believed that you were her friend..." "Me too..." "I thought you..." "Goddamn it!" "Romeo-kun..." "Imitatia-sama." "Anyone who stands in your way is an enemy." "Say something..." "Michelle!" "Do it." "Romeo!" "Dammit..." "Michelle." "Figuring out who the hell you are can wait 'til later." "I'm gonna kick your ass an' save Lucy." "Natsu... my!" "This should be an amusing spectacle!" "Imitatia." "You're the new Oracion Seis's number two." "I'll make your prayers come true." "show me your allegiance." "Michelle..." "Stop this!" "Wench..." "I knew you could do it." "living together with Lucy Heartfilia for eternity... finish him off." "I'll do whatever is needed to make your prayer come true." "my vines!" "stop... approaching rapidly..." "Murderous intent?" "Samuel!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Lucy Heartfilia!" "I'll stop the Infinity Clock by spilling your blood!" "move!" "No!" "I don't have time to argue with you!" "Then tear through me with those claws first!" "You..." "I'm not doing this for the sake of church doctrine!" "I'm following my own heart..." "Even though you know it's wrong?" "!" "That's right." "I have no other choice!" "you...!" "You..." "Leave this to me." "You guys!" "Is that the answer you arrived at?" "I'm gonna wipe that decision to take a life right out of your head!" "Nii-san!" "Happy!" "Sammy!" "wake up!" "Hey!" "Can you hear me?" "!" "Lucy!" "I... can hear you." "But I can't do anything..." "Everyone is lying on the ground in front of me..." "I can't move my body..." "I don't want this..." "I want to help everyone!" "Tears..." "She can hear our voices!" "too!" "This showdown ain't over yet!" "he's stubborn!" "This is why I said he should be taken out for good!" "it's too late." "You people have no chance." "Why?" "Why do you want power that badly?" "Is spreading chaos and destruction and getting revenge that important to you?" "!" "It is." "I won't be able to look Cubelious in the face!" "I have nothing else left to lose." "so I'm afraid of nothing." "Titania!" "listen!" "There's a way to slow down the merging of Lucy and the Infinity Clock!" "so listen carefully!" "His Grace?" "! it takes a telepathic bond to be formed with the person and her sense of time." "it must integrate with her memories. while at the same time taking in the land's magic power and all memories." "you can buy some time by cutting the chains!" "Byro and Zentopia's monk soldiers already left!" "destroy the chains!" "They look like they'll be filling!" "Could you hear that?" "too." "Nii-san." "I..." "Forget it." "Everybody makes mistakes." "So did I." "What's important... right?" "Sammy!" "Nii-san!" "Talons of the Fire Dragon!" "What tenacity!" "This is the power of your feelings?" "!" "huh?" "!" "A faint hope at best." "do your worst." "I'm going to dispose of you in one stroke." "Cubelious..." "I'm going to use the last breath you gave me!" "Is this the second generation?" "Titania!" "Roar of the Poison Dragon!" "What?" "!" "This ancient weapon is said to keep evil at bay!" "too... huh?" "I didn't expect you'd pull that out at the eleventh hour!" "Try listening to my heart." "Take me with you?" "!" "Sever the chains..." "You intend to bring us both down?" "!" "Starting with one!" "Two!" "Damn you!" "that tastes like shit... too!" "I can't let her outdo me!" "We're heading to the next chain!" "Hurry!" "I heard the archbishop's voice!" "This doesn't have to do anything with a guild or Legion!" "I'm just doing this to correct my mistake!" "That's my fifth one!" "I did seven!" "Calling me..." "He's calling me!" "I'm getting closer and closer!" "I can hear him!" "That voice..." "Cobra... yes?" "But that's not true strength!" "What are you talking about?" "!" "People get stronger when they've got something to protect!" "they support you!" "But you only think about yourself!" "Could you really hear the voice of your friend?" "!" "You don't feel shame now when you think of your friend or whatever?" "!" "Silence!" "It seems you went too far!" "But it's as far as you get." "I'm gonna crush your head!" "Cubelious!" "Don't tell me..." "But..." "I sense her..." "Her form has changed... but I can hear her thoughts!" "This can't have been a mistake!" "There's no way!" "I didn't expect you to lose your composure in the heat of battle..." "Crap!" "Feelings for friends don't drag you down." "don't you Cobra?" "That's right." "You can hear the voice of your friend." "Could you throw everything away that easily?" "I heard it..." "I just heard his voice..." "A shooting star..." "That's it!" "It must be!" "He's come to get me!" "Warning." "Another engraved seal has been erased." "There are two left." "Cobra-sama is down?" "!" "I don't believe it!" "Yay!" "Alright!" "Now I just gotta mop the floor with you guys!" "You really are a tenacious man." "But you're only buying time." "You're not having any effect on the big picture." "What my father left undone..." "The destruction of everything that has form..." "And bringing about nothingness and chaos..." "It didn't work seven years ago." "Natsu Dragneel." "Natsu!" "I'll tell you one thing." "The Infinity Clock girl that you're trying to save..." "It's already too late to save her." "100 years of sleep is as simple as falling off a log. too." "she'll be erased from everyone's memories as well." "Her very existence will be wiped off the face of Earthland." "Erased..." "What?" "Nee-san is going to be together with me..." "She won't leave you." "She's just going to become a tool." "You can be with her as much as you like." "she'll be the perfect partner." "No..." "No!" "What I wished for..." "What I prayed for..." "That's not it!" "Nee-san!" "What do you think you're going to do?" "!" "Get away!" "Move!" "Nee-san..." "I..." "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "I..." "Michelle..." "Cry a lot..." "Eat a lot..." "Kind of clumsy..." "I don't have any dreams." "right?" "Michelle was also suffering... no." "This is no good." "It's nonsense." "your role is finished." "Return to garbage!" "Nee-san!" "Nee-san..." "I'm sorry..." "I love you!" "Yes..." "I remember." "not that." "That's not it." "I..." "Back to... the way it was?" "Yeah!" "I realized..." "This girl was my precious little sister... filthy doll... huh?" "!" "You..." "Natsu-nii!" "Come and get me!" "Is it that funny to you when someone's sad?" "I'll beat you 'til you won't even be able to crack a smile!" "Lucy's gonna..." "There's just one left!" "Brain II!" "Yeah." "But it feels like his hatred is stronger than anyone else's in Oracion Seis." "we're not gonna lose!" "We're carrying the combined will of everyone in Fairy Tail on our shoulders as we fight him!" "Next time:" "Lucy and Michelle!" "You're right." "Although I'm the one that's fightin'!" "You have to bring that up now?" "!" "I'm not gonna let you get away with just sounding' cool!" "Why are you crying?" "B-Because everyone is going to go away... too..." "You remembered." "Yeah..." "I'm sorry." "I..." "Don't apologize." "I'm just happy that you remembered..." "Michelle..." "Yeesh!" "This thing should be totally destroyed by now... what's going on?" "Half of those chains are still intact!" "everyone!" "no!" "This is taking too long!" "But all we can do is cut through them one at a time!" "to the next one!" "Just a little more!" "Just a little more and my father's will can be carried out!" "No!" "Princess!" "Wake up!" "Lucy will..." "Dammit!" "I ain't gonna let you vanish!" "Lucy!" "can't you?" "Michelle is..." "Yeah." "you cry only after you do what needs to be done!" "I know!" "Wake up!" "so why...?" "!" "We won't be in time like this!" "we're going to defeat the Six Generals!" "Natsu-nii!" "Alright!" "Klodoa..." "Leave this to me." "I'm not lettin' anybody get in our way!" "You guys snap that stick in half!" "I'm gonna knock the sneer right off this one's face!" "Romeo!" "Yeah!" "I'm fired up!" "Lucy and Michelle!" "Titania..." "Why didn't you finish me off?" "I can hear you..." "Who's there?" "Your flames will never burn me." "your magic will run out." "is that right?" "you're totally on the defensive." "I got you shakin' in your boots!" "Say what you like." "Loathe me." "But also fear and respect me." "I received my power by making a huge sacrifice." "I'm as powerful as my father now!" "Sacrifice?" "Salamander!" "Genesis Zero!" "I cast open the Gate of Wraithwail! his very existence!" "in the name of Zero!" "Natsu!" "Natsu-nii!" "Fitting for two friends. while the little girl is trapped in time without an exit." "Lucy..." "Lucy?" "Yeah!" "It's the best birthday present ever!" "I'm gonna make this girl my little sister!" "Good!" "Be friends with her." "What should I call her?" "I know!" "Maybe Gonzales?" "I think you should use a cuter name..." "I had so much fun then." "In that big mansion..." "It was like a castle." "you made all kinds of clothes for me out of paper and flowers." "We went everywhere together." "And we smiled wherever we went..." "But..." "I... crying." "I took it out on everyone and everything." "I think I made everyone really worry about me..." "All I could do was watch..." "It was hard not being able to do anything... and that became painful..." "That's right." "You stopped talking to me altogether." "I..." "I see..." "I left you behind." "didn't you?" "I'm sorry." "She didn't mean to abandon you. really..." "I don't know how to talk to my daughter these days." "Someday when she gets over her mother's death will you become her little sister again?" "I waited for years after that." "The once lively mansion was now deathly quiet." "everyone was gone." "Nee-san. pretending to be Michelle Lobster." "My mission was to retrieve the Infinity Clock." "you said you helped my father with his work..." "That's true. but I wanted to go back..." "I just wanted to go back to those days..." "That's all I felt..." "I heard a lot had happened between you and Uncle..." "But..." "Families are a mystery... their feelings always keep them connected." "I'm sure she's alive somewhere... so I want you to find her and give that to her..." "Alright?" "Uncle... isn't it? I hope you can become her little sister..." "Michelle." "It must've been so hard on you..." "Nee-san." "It's okay." "can't you?" "The voices of the people who love you..." "Everyone!" "I can hear them!" "I can see them!" "Lucy!" "Faster!" "We have to go faster!" "on to the next one!" "What happened with the rest of the Six Generals?" "!" "Warren!" "What's the status of Natsu and the others?" "!" "what's going on?" "!" "I've lost contact with Natsu!" "What's going on?" "!" "Natsu's disappeared!" "The brat's existence was devoured in the darkness and wiped out!" "Lucy!" "I'm on my way!" "Natsu!" "It's no good..." "I'm losing consciousness..." "Something..." "I have to do something!" "there's no way he can get out of there." "Dragon Wizard." "You... can go to hell!" "You make Lucy and Michelle cry..." "I can't keep crying forever..." "Apologize to Michelle!" "Give Natsu back!" "What's happening?" "!" "It's blinding!" "Was that..." "Lucy's voice!" "What is this?" "The R-system?" "!" "No..." "It's..." "Real Nightmare!" "no!" "The girl... it must be impossible to have complete control over the Infinity Castle!" "I was careless..." "Lucy!" "What's going on?" "!" "It's Lucy!" "She used the Infinity Clock to sic Real Nightmare on him!" "you say?" "My ass!" "They say magic is in the heart." "the more power you can attain." "whoa!" "I literally never dreamed this could happen!" "toodles!" "It escaped!" "And you call yourself a Man?" "!" "It's a stick." "you can't stop thinking about them!" "There's nothing more painful than the sacrifice that possibility yourself!" "I get it..." "So what are you sayin' you sacrificed?" "The future..." "A future in which I'm reunited with my father... he made something that could happen into something that's not going to happen?" "That's a front-loading way of looking backwards." "He must be sharp..." "What the hell is that?" "Now you lost me." "go an' see him already!" "You people caused a rift between me and my father." "Surely you haven't forgotten?" "Repaying kindness with resentment?" "But that's no reason to make Lucy cry!" "You got a roundabout way of doin' things." "You sacrificed the future?" "Talkin' big about things that ain't even happened yet..." "That pisses me off!" "Warren!" "What is it?" "!" "we went over a lot of things and... actually!" "W-What?" "!" "Say that one more time!" "Impossible!" "He's overpowering me?" "! but you don't gain anything from the power of feelings by tossing' them away!" "It's somethin' that's engraved in you somewhere and you gain from that!" "their importance shines!" "you...!" "You're warped every which way!" "it's twisted! you can't face any of it head on!" "You..." "You say I'm not facing my father?" "!" "Michelle did it to Lucy..." "They tackled each other head on!" "You've got no right to laugh at that. you lost to the power of feelings!" "Father..." "He beat the last one!" "What about Lucy?" "!" "No..." "What should we do?" "We were too late!" "Lucy's gone..." "Why?" "!" "We made all the engraved seals get erased!" "Give us Lucy back!" "Somebody answer me!" "What?" "What do they mean I'm gone?" "!" "wait!" "Don't tell me this is..." "I've got a bad feeling about this!" "What the...?" "!" "Lucy-nee's voice!" "I smell Lucy all over the place!" "It's not telepathy..." "Lucy?" "Has Lucy-san totally merged with the Infinity Castle?" "!" "Then this huge fish castle is Lucy's body?" "!" "No!" "This is too cruel..." "I've become food for Happy..." "I won't eat you!" "Lucy!" "you only sped up the merging process!" "it's my fault?" "!" "I finally got through!" "I got a call from the guild." "Jean-Luc and the others found another way to save Lucy!" "Jean-Luc?" "The "actually" guy! actually." "We found out the one thing that can stop the Infinity Clock in this world is the magic siphoned from the Celestial Spirit Wizard bio-links!" "we need to break the spells that have all of them in a chrysalis-like state." "It's a simple method." "Will their sense of time be 100 years from now?" "then the clock will break up into its component parts apparently." "Then... wait a second!" "What'll happen to Lucy?" "!" "We know what to do from the merging to release... all the parts will fly away somewhere?" "!" "No..." "Ain't there any other way?" "!" "I'll try... right?" "I may fly off somewhere..." "That's the only risk?" "!" "I'm a Fairy Tail wizard." "I'm the daughter of Jude and Layla!" "I'm Michelle's big sister!" "I'll do it!" "Nee-san..." "Michelle!" "It's okay." "I'm with you." "Yeah!" "You're terribly wounded..." "If there's anything I can do..." "Don't you touch me..." "Tell me..." "Are you the one that called me?" "I can hear it..." "You?" "!" "You..." "Your eye..." "I lost my sight so I could gain power." "I..." "What's your name?" "Erik." "I presume?" "so why don't you come quietly?" "huh?" "Wait!" "This man is..." "This man is..." "What the...?" "!" "You're going to resist?" "That girl doesn't seem to be a wizard..." "It can't be helped." "Anyone who conspires with the Six Generals has to be arrested." "alright..." "You go." "But... wasn't it?" "!" "You're the one who called out to me!" "Hey!" "I don't know what you're talking about..." "Who's that girl?" "A comrade of yours?" "No." "Never saw her before." "Sounds like she was just wandering around here looking for her friend." "I see." "Good." "You're giving up awfully easy." "well..." "But you know..." "Friends are good things to have." "Just knowing that you have one has a calming effect." "didn't you?" "Did you hear my voice...?" "I finally heard your voice..." "Men!" "I'm glad you're alright!" "W-Where are we?" "!" "On top of an octopus?" "!" "Don't panic!" "We're joined together with Kanaloa-kun by the parfum of friendship." "I see." "We're on the same side..." "Natsu..." "Lucy..." "Where's Lucy?" "!" "Natsu!" "Warren and the others are looking for her right now." "How can I calm down?" "!" "octopus!" "if you would!" "it turned out like this!" "I shouldn't have turned the Six Generals over to that kid!" "Now I'll just have to become Brain III and assemble the next Six Generals..." "Huh?" "!" "A clock hand?" "!" "You're not getting away." "We'll sleep for eternity together." "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Stop it! the Infinity Castle and Oracion Seis had vanished somewhere." "Our journey began with the hand of a clock..." "The events surrounding the Key of the Starry Heavens came to an end like this." "my room seemed empty." "It felt like it suddenly became very quiet." "But I'm not lonely." "okay?" "one more thing..." "Mama..." "Thank you for my beautiful little sister." "Alright!" "I kicked Brain II's ass!" "huh?" "Fairy Tail really is the strongest guild around!" "huh? I heard a guild called Fiore's Strongest appeared." "What's that?" "!" "Who the hell are they?" "!" "Next time:" "Sabertooth!" "Let's beat 'em and take our "strongest" title back!" "all you ever think about are showdowns!" "I hear they're back." "What are you talking about?" "The core members of Fairy Tail who disappeared seven years ago." "Not interested." "Rogue." "I remember how you looked up to Natsu-san." "That was a long time ago." "I admonish us all for our sins." "should repent for all of the mistakes we've made up to now and begin walking upon a new path..." "Only then may we purge our sins..." "This is tiring..." "What can you do?" "The archbishop himself invited us." "but what about everybody else?" "As if they'd come to a ceremony like this?" "We Legionnaires..." "Fairy Tail." "the crisis is over." "Raise your heads." "but let that be water under the bridge." "Let's start afresh." "My gratitude knows no bounds." "And so party time!" "Sabertooth!" "The battle over the Infinity Clock was over and the escaped members of Oracion Seis had been returned to prison." "Also..." "Did you hear?" "!" "That puny guild was the cause of all the trouble!" "What a total nuisance!" "I can't even remember the name of that guild..." "It's Fairy Tail! the guild's reputation continued to plummet." "I see." "Thank you." "Neville's Celestial Spirit Wizards have been awakened from the 100-year sleeping spell. all of them have lost their magic power and are no longer Celestial Spirit Wizards." "What is this?" "!" "Just as it says in the report." "back home and as boisterous as ever." "so boisterous that the Chairman is miffed about it." "You..." "You knew about this...?" "but... it's fine." "I see..." "They're alive... an eating contest between Natsu and Dan... begin!" "I'm fired up!" "I'm gonna win this one!" "He's as energetic as usual..." "It feels like that Infinity Clock business happened ages ago..." "Here!" "What?" "!" "That's what you get!" "Huh?" "Isn't that against the rules?" "we'll allow it." "Master and Wakaba are listening to a sermon." "I don't know whether to say they're soft-hearted or just got the short end of the stick... right?" "So what's Legion doing here?" "We're the same as you guys!" "this is also..." "Escape!" "we're playing hooky!" "Are you sure that's okay?" "!" "Don't you take advantage of the chaos here and rub up against Gray-sama!" "Spicy..." "These people are hard to talk to." "Pain in the ass..." "So..." "Is there something wrong?" "I ask again..." "Um..." "Uh..." "I said something terrible to you that last time!" "I said I hated cats... and... it's fine." "Forget about it!" "I was still able to meet "Coco" again." "That's more than I could've asked for." "Thank you." "let's be friends." "Actually..." "Hold it right there. would you have another bout with me?" "Fine!" "Come on!" "Why?" "!" "Is something wrong?" "No." "It's fine." "Everything's fine." "huh?" "Those two haven't said a word to each other..." "Give me a break." "That's no way to drink booze." "Huh?" "Is it just my imagination?" "They're smiling?" "Our scrap left me numb." "I guess it's a wide world out there." "I never knew there were wizards like you..." "It was motivation and the luck of the moment." "too." "I don't know how it would turn out if we ever locked horns again." "You take a broad view of things." "I just live selfishly is all." "I wonder what they're talking about..." "Never mind." "It's probably just dirty talk." "Huh?" "Lu-pi's not here..." "Weren't you fixated on Angel last time?" "so it's a waste not to live it up with every chance you get." "Is that right?" "Is this the one who falls in love at the drop of a hat?" "don't tell me..." "Er-pin!" "Er... pin?" "Scary...?" "I'm stayin' out of this." "I knew from the start how you felt about me." "let's become a happy cou ple..." "I can only take so much fickleness." "It's not like I didn't warn you." "Okay!" "Erza won with one blow!" "That's the proper way to use the weapon that keeps evil at bay." "What are you doing out here by yourself?" "There's something..." "I don't understand. how can you smile at me?" "that's all over." "right?" "So don't worry about it." "I'd been tricked and used my whole life." "But everything changed once I got power." "I thought I would do anything." "I controlled people..." "And it felt like I was getting revenge on the people who had used me long ago." "I was only being used again... too..." "And also... who was with you..." "It seems you've managed to cast off your hesitancy." "Your movements are quite agile today." "but not agile enough to beat you." "I wanted to beat you once in the end." "In the end?" "Coco..." "What's that?" "I'm holding something very heavy." "But..." "I have entrusted you with that golden seal." "But I'm not... the weakness of my own mind is partially to blame." "severe one." "Please make good use of that golden seal." "try to bring light to people's hearts..." "Your words are more than we deserve." "what should Gatman-chama do...?" "We are responsible for sealing you away in that prison in the first place." "I would like you to use your magic to help rebuild the local parish." "I'll do everything in my power!" "there is one thing that's been bothering me..." "What was it?" "The puppets that Rapowant sent to every area..." "We investigated closely and found out what he was up to with the real Michelle Lobster." "so he kept her at hand." "the official document showing she's a distant relative of the Heartfilia family... wasn't it?" "I... wanted to apologize so I went off in search of at least some good news I could tell you but it was all..." "Thank you." "I suspected as much so now it's off my chest." "But..." "I'm fine." "I feel a little lonely but I have friends." "Friends... here..." "Let's make up." "Shake." "we'll start as friends..." "I don't think that line fits here..." "We visited here today for one reason." "I realized." "To say goodbye..." "Goodbye?" "! we Legionnaires are to seek out the scattered parts of the Infinity Clock in every region and find a better way to seal them up. it will be impossible to locate them with magic." "This work is going to last each one of us a lifetime." "this is the last time we'll be able to meet." "Therefore..." "What are you sayin'?" "!" "It's boring to jump to that conclusion from the outset!" "Exactly." "Coco..." "Thank you for everything." "okay?" "Thank you!" "everyone!" "I promise to come back!" "Bye!" "Aniki." "You can come over to challenge me to a fight anytime..." "Sam." "Huh?" "He hasn't called him that before..." "Let's meet again somewhere." "Sugar Boy." "Dan..." "Learn how to stick with one person." "That's a hot message!" "Thank you!" "'til we meet again!" "It's been fun." "octopus man!" "It almost slipped my mind!" "Octopus man"..." "What is it?" "Doesn't scowling all the time make you tired?" "You oughta try a smile once in a while!" "now!" "Well... it would be out of character..." "He very rarely smiles." "Coco?" "{smp: this is really weird to parse." "Can it be "If I can face my heart directly..."?" "}" "I finally understand what you said that time." "Eww!" "You can tell he's totally not used to doing that." "that's actually scary!" "you rascals?" "!" "they began their journey." "I'm sure we'll meet again sometime... thank you for your hard work at the Council meeting." "Mm." "Has the Guild Amity and Trade Treaty reform bill been decided on yet? haven't you?" "About the return of Fairy Tail's main members... the chairman apparently intends to tie in the Infinity Clock and Oracion Seis affair not with Zentopia but with their return..." "But that's fine." "As long as the case is closed..." "The magic world may be in for troubled times again." "What happened this time may only have been a harbinger." "It's been seven years since Acnologia and Zeref awoke..." "I'm sorry." "We still haven't been able to find either one of them." "Perhaps we should augment the expeditionary force." "It's been too quiet these past seven years. but Tartaros hasn't made any noticeable moves and the same goes for the remaining members of Grimoire Heart." "And we have no information on Zeref or Acnologia." "it's an eerie silence." "It's like an endless night." "Will it be sunrise soon?" "Will it become a great dawn for the magic world?" "And you think Fairy Tail will set it off?" "I despised Fairy Tail before and here I am expecting something of them..." "I must be getting old." "Sabertooth?" "as in the tigers with the saber-like canine teeth." "They've surpassed Pegasus and Lamia and are currently the strongest wizards' guild in Fiore." "Never heard of 'em." "They hadn't made much of a splash seven years ago." "huh?" "What did it was changing their guild master and the induction of five extremely powerful wizards into their ranks." "Things can change that much with just five people?" "They got some guts." "how is our guild ranked?" "You're gonna ask that?" "!" "there's no need to rub it in." "We're bottom-ranked." "We're a totally wimpy guild." "The weakest guild in Fiore." "I'm sorry!" "That's even better!" "It's more fun!" "right?" "!" "Think of how much fun it's gonna be climbin' to the top again!" "I'm fired up!" "Yeesh..." "I'm no match for Natsu-nii." "You're right!" "Yeah!" "I'm looking forward to it!" "you guys..." "Have you seen Gildarts?" "do you get lonely when Papa's not around?" "Idiot!" "Sorry... that's okay." "Don't worry about it." "She's consoling Gray-sama?" "!" "Gildarts went with Master to the original Fairy Tail base of operations." "Alright!" "Then I'll go out on a job while I have the chance!" "It's amazing how lovey-dovey Gildarts gets with Cana." "You fawn over Carla the same way..." "And he's supposed to be the guild's strongest..." "This is such an oddball guild." "Are you sure we can just go in here?" "right?" "We'll get it back soon." "I didn't know about this..." "A deep underground passage below the guild..." "That's because I didn't tell anybody about it." "And why's that?" "you'll understand when you see it." "Here we go..." "W-What is this?" "!" "Our guild's greatest secret." "Lumen Histoire..." "What is this?" "!" "What does it mean?" "!" "Mavis wrote that this is Fairy Tail's true nature." "I-I can't find the words..." "I don't blame you. words failed me as well." "Why is something like this below the guild?" "And why show me?" "!" "Because you're going to be the next Fairy Tail master Gildarts!" "let's fight!" "It's like Natsu is a bug that pesters people... huh?" "Is that right?" "I'm always like this." "Really?" "!" "Maybe..." "This makes me feel nostalgic." "I was like this tall." "remember?" "Gajeel-san was scary!" "Sting." "They weren't on the path we took." "Found 'em!" "Take this!" "Eating... an arrow?" "!" "Don't tell me he..." "Huh?" "Maybe I'm rusty..." "I missed." "I-It was you two?" "!" "The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth..." "Rogue!" "The Dragon Slayer duo!" "Hey!" "You're gonna leave your friends here?" "You suck!" "What do you expect from a Dark Guild?" "Sting-kun?" "where were you guys?" "just doing a little reconnoitering... even the Sky Dragon don't stand a chance." "oh yeah!" "too!" "right?" "oh yeah!" "I'm positive I could beat Natsu-san." "of course!" "Rogue?" "Not interested." "Fro neither." "did you hear?" "There's a festival to decide the #1 guild in Fiore!" "right?" "We're gonna win for sure!" "When even fighting Max is a hard battle...?" "Are you gonna be okay?" "I'll build myself up by the time the tournament starts!" "I'm fired up!" "We Aim for the Top!" "What are you gonna do if it's not a battle but a quiz that takes brains?" "I'll get by somehow!" "Lucy-san!" "You're welcome." "but I'm pretty good if I do say so myself!" "you're really good!" "doesn't it?" "Not to mention unusually quiet!" "It actually feels kind of peaceful." "you know the peace isn't going to last long..." "You're probably right." "Hey!" "See?" "This peace didn't last long at all..." "Happy!" "Fish?" "!" "just Natsu..." "Don't give me "just Natsu"!" "What are you mad about?" "all those fish were there for the taking..." "I was shocked..." "Hey!" "What is it you want?" "!" "aren't you?" "!" "that's right." "I'm cleaning the backyard." "Like this... sure." "It's your turn!" "why isn't my partner helping' me?" "!" "right?" "!" "It makes plenty sense!" "How incredibly trivial... it doesn't!" "though..." "That's different than this." "it's not my turn today." "when did you turn so cold?" "!" "I'm not cold!" "isn't it?" "The sun is pleasantly warm..." "Why are you two arguing over nonsense?" "At least clean up without bitching about it!" "Gray?" "!" "I never said I had a beef with cleaning!" "Happy's the one..." "Carla?" "yes." "Listen when a guy's talkin' to you!" "Natsu." "just about every day!" "Max?" "!" "Are you sayin' you changed?" "!" "anyway... does that make you young?" "it's improved by leaps and bounds." "That's what I like to hear!" "How 'bout we rumble?" "!" "why not?" "why is this necessary?" "Go for it!" "This is a perfect way to kill time after lunch." "Alright!" "I'm fired up!" "We Aim for the Top!" "then!" "S-Seriously?" "!" "It's not like we weren't doing anything for seven years." "I trained in my own way." "Natsu-san is losing to Max?" "!" "Let's try this again!" "Sand Rebellion!" "Burn!" "Hey!" "hang in there!" "You two were just fighting!" "That's different than this!" "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" "Sand Wall!" "This isn't seven years ago!" "Unbelievable!" "Max has Natsu on the ropes?" "!" "too?" "!" "Lightning Flame Dragon Mode!" "No way!" "Wha...?" "!" "What is that?" "!" "Roar of the Lightning Flame Dragon!" "Ay-yi-yi..." "Dammit!" "I'm not as powerful as I was then..." "Since when can you do that?" "Now." "Wow..." "I-I lose." "I give up." "I'd be toast!" "Who's next?" "!" "He really is strong!" "A monster!" "That must've burned through a lot of his power." "I think you better not use that one in a real battle." "Max-san!" "Wendy." "Ogre shouldn't have been able to walk all over you." "You may be right but it had more to do with money... you know?" "Although that's exactly what Master and the others did..." "Good point... the problem is more serious than I thought." "What do you mean? our power hasn't caught up to this time period." "True." "Even Natsu was given a run for his money by Max there..." "And we're talking Max-san..." "What you said before really was just flattery...?" "I wonder if there's a way to boost our magic power all at once..." "Go home!" "Poluchka-san!" "Don't you have some kind of good medicine for us?" "Like one that'll suddenly increase our power a hundredfold..." "I suppose that would be too convenient..." "Wendy?" "Nothing..." "I hate humans!" "Go home!" "Go home!" "her turn to clean?" "!" "Sorry for bothering you!" "What's with that old lady?" "!" "She used to be Gramps' girlfriend!" "moron!" "And so I've decided to retire." "I'm going to introduce the next master to you now." "Are you serious?" "!" "Wait." "I'm not mentally prepared yet..." "It ain't gonna be you!" "The fifth Fairy Tail master..." "Gildarts Clive!" "Where's Gildarts?" "!" "He left a letter. but I'm not cut out to be a "master"." "Well..." "I will take the opportunity to give two orders as the fifth master." "The first: accept Laxus as a member of Fairy Tail." "That's taking liberties!" "Old man..." "Laxus?" "Now the Raijinshuu is complete again!" "I..." "Um..." "Gildarts..." "What a guy... we have no choice but to obey." "The second:" "I appoint Mr. Makarov Dreyar the sixth Fairy Tail master." "Me again?" "!" "we're back to normal..." "Nothing wrong with that." "Old mustache man!" "That old man is incredibly strong." "I'm going to travel for a while." "But I'll come back when I'm in the mood." "take care." "Here you go." "And Cana..." "I apologize for going off again without warning." "just make the wish on that card." "It'll get through to the card I have and I'll rush right over to you." "I don't need it!" "Cana... old man!" "Fairy Tail is my home." "I will return." "Fairy Tail will once again be Fiore's number one guild." "But that's not my duty." "It's yours." "that's your last job." "To make Fairy Tail Fiore's number one guild again!" "you say?" "!" "Jackass!" "I'm not gonna let anyone else be master!" "I'll be Master 'til the day I die!" "Booze!" "Bring out the booze!" "alright." "he's being a grump... that settles that." "Man!" "you say that at any old time..." "P.S..." "I swear that I won't tell anyone about what you showed me in the basement." "idiot!" "Who's the one that suggested going to see Poluchka-san?" "!" "Lucy..." "That woman's a force of nature." "but I didn't realize it was that bad..." "Why should I count?" "I'm a cat..." "Wendy?" "Were you scared?" "what's wrong?" "!" "That old lady made Wendy cry!" "that's not it..." "I felt so nostalgic..." "Have you met her before?" "Uh-uh..." "I'm sure this was my first time... but it gave me such a familiar feeling..." "Her voice..." "Her smell..." "They're the same as Grandine!" "he says..." "That's being way too optimistic!" "it's not." "It's good to be ambitious." "if this were seven years ago..." "But things are different now." "there's Sabertooth... they're powerful guilds that can't even be compared to what they were seven years ago." "They're huge guilds!" "even with our main members back..." "The Tenrou group isn't any stronger than they were seven years ago." "Levy!" "There's no way to make up for the seven-year gap. becoming' Fiore's number one guild is impossible!" "I see." "It sounds like it'll take some time before we can get back to the way we were then." "I've already waited seven years!" "Erza-nee!" "Romeo!" "There's just one way to become number one in a hurry!" "Y-You don't mean..." "But that's..." "Forget it!" "I already decided we wouldn't be participating in that!" "Number Four?" "Number Six?" "That old woman is Grandine?" "!" "The same voice as the dragon Wendy is looking for?" "What does that mean?" "Don't ask me!" "is that true?" "I don't know!" "But... that smell... that voice..." "Grandine..." "This needs to be checked out!" "Wait! this wouldn't make any sense." "too..." "Your dragons disappeared seven years ago... in 777..." "Poluchka-san has known Master for a lot longer than that." "Poluchka-san was around." "That contradicts." "They can't be one and the same." "huh?" "No." "you're right." "It doesn't make sense." "the tone and mood are completely different. that Grandine likes humans." "What if she hates cats?" "!" "What should I do?" "!" "Grandine is a kind dragon." "I can't even imagine a kind dragon." "Especially after seeing Acnologia... too!" "Sorry I wasn't nice!" "Poluchka-san!" "You scared me!" "I have nothing to hide." "I'll talk to you." "the one you're looking for." "through and through." "But don't you hate people...?" "You got a problem with one human hating other humans?" "!" "no!" "but I don't know where your dragon is." "I have no direct relationship with dragons." "Then what do you... different from this one." "don't you?" "I've heard that you've even met your Edolas counterparts." "Edolas..." "You mean..." "What?" "!" "No way! I would be considered the Grandine of Edolas." "I got lost and ended up on this world." "Edo-Grandine..." "A human over there!" "Makarov helped me in my time of need." "I decided to remain here." "too?" "!" "are they here?" "!" "I don't know." "I've never met them." "But I have talked to the Sky Dragon." "We didn't meet directly." "I suppose through magic means." "She said you people wanted to become "strong"." "But it may be possible only for the girl named Wendy." "I wrote down this magic book exactly as the Sky Dragon dictated. two secret Dragon Slayer spells that the Sky Dragon failed to teach you." "Grandine told you... for me..." "She wanted me to give that to you if you came by." "That magic is extremely advanced." "Be careful you don't overdo it and damage your health." "Poluchka-san!" "Grandine!" "We're gonna be in it!" "We're gonna!" "We're gonna!" "We're gonna!" "we're not!" "We're not!" "We're not!" "We're not!" "I refuse to give permission!" "We're never gonna take part in that again!" "We're home... huh?" "Did you get good medicine?" "Just Wendy." "Dad!" "You're not the master!" "I'm speaking as a member of the guild!" "What's all the fuss about?" "Just looks like an argument between father and son to me..." "Clothes!" "Who doesn't wanna participate?" "!" "Me!" "Me!" "That's the one thing I don't wanna do again." "It'll just expose us to ridicule..." "But now we've got the Tenrou group!" "We've got Natsu-nii and Erza-nee!" "How could Fairy Tail lose?" "!" "But the Tenrou group's got a seven-year blank!" "Levy!" "What's this about bein' in it or not?" "a festival started up to decide the number one guild in Fiore." "That sounds like fun!" "All the guilds in Fiore gather and compete with each other with their magic!" "It's called the Grand Magic Games!" "Grand Magic Games?" "!" "It sounds like fun!" "Like a real festival!" "I see... right? we'll become Fiore's number one guild!" "But..." "I don't know if you guys are strong enough to pull that off right now..." "That's right!" "Exactly!" "the guild gets 30 million jewel as a reward!" "We're in it!" "Master!" "It's impossible!" "Between Pegasus and Lamia..." "Sabertooth isn't our only enemy!" "we were always in last place." "Don't be proud of that!" "We'll take that crummy record and destroy it!" "huh?" "I'm fired up!" "That's annoying!" "When is that tournament?" "Three months from now." "Plenty of time! and Fairy Tail will become Fiore's number one guild again!" "Sounds good." "Yeah!" "If everyone joins their power as one there's nothing we can't do." "That's how long I have to learn the magic I got from Grandine!" "Carla!" "Isn't that what this guild is like all year 'round?" "A festival!" "A festival!" "Man!" "huh?" "Seriously?" "Are we really gonna participate?" "why not give it a shot?" "I-I really don't think we should go through with it..." "Natsu..." "It's not that?" "!" "It's hell." "so there's no point in complaining!" "aim for Fiore's number one!" "Team Fairy Tail is going to enter the Grand Magic Games!" "The beach!" "Swimsuits!" "Training camp!" "The Celestial Spirit world!" "Don't say that like it's nothing!" "It's incredible!" "We've come to the Celestial Spirit world!" "and the girl with the horns!" "And there are lots of Celestial Spirits we've never seen before!" "And tons of Plues!" "Next time:" "Song of the Stars!" "help me..." "A strange Plue is clinging to me and I can't get away..." "Make a contract with it. on Fairy Tail... we somehow returned home alive thanks to being put in suspended animation by the first master." "Except seven years had passed while we were gone!" "So what happened to our guild why we were gone?" "and there's a lot we still don't know about this world that's seven years past the one we left." "the major event that decides the number one guild in Fiore will be held:" "The Grand Magic Games!" "It's a festival in which people compete in various events using magic. we decided to participate in the Grand Magic Games. so we may not be able to keep up with the fighting styles of this age. so we're going to have a training camp at the beach!" "Song of the Stars!" "People!" "We didn't come here to have fun!" "That's right!" "dressed like that?" "we know that." "The key is variation." "sleep a lot!" "the most important point of all!" "By the time this training camp is over you'll at least be able to beat us." "The sea!" "Alright!" "Swimming race!" "Sand castle building contest!" "Eating contest!" "Suntan contest!" "What do you say we go back to the inn and take a nap?" "They enjoyed the hell out of this..." "I guess we can cut them some slack on the first day." "too..." "Um..." "What's this word?" "the other members of Fairy Tail began their training in different areas." "Natsu really is amazing. he can use Roar of the Fire Dragon." "Natsu!" "not yet." "That ain't enough to do the job." "I gotta be able to increase my power even more!" "I can't let myself lose to him... my lack of magic power stamina!" "you need to build up your spiritual strength and grow the depth of the container of your magic." "Feel the land... the wind..." "energy... with your flesh." "as if you're becoming one with nature." "Lucy-sama." "Continue." "Release a little more magic power." "That's tough..." "Layla-sama did the same kind of training to improve her Celestial Spirit Magic." "Hey." "Have you ever heard of the "One Magic"?" "yes?" "That's what Hades said he wanted to get." "but it didn't sound dangerous or have anything to do with Zeref or some "World of Great Magic"." "What are you trying to say? Hades never could have gotten it then..." "It's something you can't even imagine... it's also a very weak power." "My mother told me that all magic starts from love." "That's why I think "One Magic" is actually "love"." "That's a wonderful interpretation. maybe he wouldn't have fallen to the dark side." "Stronger!" "sir!" "Much more stronger!" "sir!" "I'm gonna shut up anyone who looks down on our guild!" "Aye!" "I'm gonna show 'em all the power of Fairy Tail!" "We'll show 'em!" "Look!" "The stars are so beautiful!" "too... just like us!" "too!" "three months before the Grand Magic Games." "Now I feel up to scratch!" "As long as we seriously train our bodies... but already our magic power has risen a lot!" "I'm doing the same pose as Gray-sama..." "It's so moving! then catching up to this age won't just be a dream after all." "Right!" "all you jerks from other guilds!" "Look at what three months of fiery training does for Fairy Tail members! you know?" "Aye." "Princess!" "There's an emergency." "Why did you have to appear from there?" "!" "is it?" "Virgo!" "The Celestial Spirit maid! the Celestial Spirits she has a contract with must have been in the Celestial Spirit World that whole time. seven years had passed before that!" "Poor spirits!" "And it's Lucy's fault..." "Lucy's fault..." "No." "That's not a big problem..." "Did something happen?" "The Celestial Spirit World is in danger of being destroyed." "Everyone... please help us." "What?" "!" "What do you mean...?" "The king of the Celestial Spirit World awaits you." "He asked me to bring all of you there." "leave it to us!" "When a friend asks for help... humans can't enter the Celestial Spirit World." "you'll be able to move about the Spirit World." "Let's go." "Wait..." "I'm not mentally prepared yet..." "Why were just the two of us left behind?" "!" "This is the Celestial Spirit World?" "!" "it's beautiful!" "old friend." "He's huge!" "Huge moustache!" "The Celestial Spirit King!" "You're the king here?" "So informal..." "I am." "We heard the Celestial Spirit World is in danger of destruction?" "!" "Heh... *smile*" "Lucy and friends!" "Let us celebrate your release from the shackles of time!" "Party!" "What about the "in danger of destruction" thing?" "!" "Heh." "What?" "!" "Mooo!" "You fell for it!" "Seeing the blank look on Lucy-san's face as we tricked her and while she's cosplaying Celestial Spiritwear no less is priceless!" "We thought we'd surprise you-ebi." "leave it to me-ebi." "We thought in our own way of how to celebrate the homecoming of Lucy and all of you. right?" "So we called all of you to the Celestial Spirit World." "I'm sorry!" "we!" "That's right." "This is a one-time privilege." "So that's what this is about?" "!" "as it were-moshimoshi!" "You surprised the hell out of us!" "Lucy!" "As if... we shall drink in great quantities!" "And sing!" "And make merry!" "This is a party with my old friends!" "Yeah!" "How have you been?" "It was too bad about the exam." "Horologium-san!" "well." "This is a pleasure." "Thank you for that last time." "Not at all." "I need no thanks." "But... um... it was embarrassing having no clothes on... uh... he says." "aren't you?" "Shared a body?" "!" "Do you have a man?" "No... um... that's pathetic!" "You'll end up like Lucy at this rate." "What's that supposed to mean?" "!" "this is amazing!" "I've never seen any of these books!" "I'll give you one as a souvenir..." "He fell asleep!" "It's okay!" "He's just thinking." "Plue!" "huh?" "Wow!" "There are tons of them!" "There are many Nicolas." "you've got a nice body!" "Is that right?" "Would you jump up and down for me a moment?" "!" "Why?" "I don't like that Celestial Spirit." "Neither do I." "Delicious!" "What is this food?" "!" "garnished with stardust butter." "And that's veal cutlet in succulent sauce." "I'm sorry!" "this is a strange place..." "I didn't know the Celestial Spirit World became like this either!" "Which one of these is my Plue?" "this is my first time inviting you here." "That just goes to show how much he means to you." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "!" "I can see you" "You're right there" "Old friend" "I swear the bond between us will never be broken" "You start walking in the infinite wilderness" "Hold back tears and move on towards tomorrow so I shine bright so show me your smile" "Thank you." "I love all of you!" "Heh." "I had a great time." "I've never eaten anything so delicious!" "You ate it?" "!" "How could you?" "!" "You're sure I can have this?" "I want these clothes!" "I can't get away from this weird Plue." "too." "girl." "Aquarius-san!" "we shall always be with you." "Yeah!" "I look forward to working together again." "You can call on meh or any of us anytime!" "I'll drop by the guild again sometime." "please continue to take good care of Lucy-san." "may you have the divine protection of the stars." "The Celestial Spirits sure do love you." "you're all wonderful friends!" "we better train hard!" "That's right!" "We got three months to catch up to all those other guilds!" "And beat Sabertooth!" "there is one thing I forgot to tell you." "The flow of time is different in the Celestial Spirit World and the human world." "You don't mean..." "Like one year here is only a day in the human world or somethin'?" "!" "This would be a training paradise then!" "No." "It's the opposite." "One day spent in the Celestial Spirit World equals three months in the human world." "Everyone!" "We got tired of waiting for you!" "The Grand Magic Games are just five days away!" "huh?" "It's over..." "Moustache!" "Give us back our time!" "crap!" "All that time we had to train... you'll be able to get through it!" "Although it seems like it's really painful..." "I'll do it!" "Huh?" "Have you seen Erza?" "Erza is in the middle of battling heartache." "Next time:" "Just Enough Time to Pass Each Other!" "let's go tease Erza!" "I-I ain't goin!" "Don't come cryin' to me if you get your ass kicked!" "What?" "!" "Our precious training time..." "We just spent one day in the Celestial Spirit World and three months went by in a flash." "What should we do?" "Princess!" "I have a proposal." "Punish me even more." "Why don't you go home?" "This is the wizards' guild known as Lamia Scale." "The Grand Magic Games." "Every year we come in second place!" "It's shameful and that's no joke! Oba Babasama." "I just thought of it as a festival." "But we can't afford to think that way this year!" "enough already... huh?" "too!" "Crap." "I can't refuse Obaba." "A festival can be nice once in a while." "Lyon and Jura-san are gonna be in it this year?" "!" "Now we'll win it for sure!" "Lamia will be Fiore's number one guild!" "did you hear?" "!" "It seems that Wizard Saint Jura-chan from Lamia Scale is going to be in the Grand Magic Games." "This man is Master Bob of the wizards' guild Blue Pegasus." "Men." "That is indeed a foul perfume." "And just when we were aiming for victory this year..." "Then we'll just have to release you-know-who." "Y-You don't mean...?" "!" "Men." "A dangerous perfume is raging around the Grand Magic Games this time." "Sting and Rogue are..." "Seriously?" "!" "Natsu and the others are gonna be in the Grand Magic Games?" "!" "Yeah!" "That's the rumor going around Magnolia." "too." "Rogue?" "Not interested." "Master Ivan was also making plans." "Makarov." "You made me wait seven years... blot them all out!" "I'm so looking forward to the Grand Magic Games." "Just Enough Time to Pass Each Other!" "Even though there are only five more days 'til the Grand Magic Games your magic power hasn't improved at all!" "It looks like all we can do this time is rely on the others." "The gap between my strength and Lily's has widened again." "You cared about that?" "it's not too late!" "We can train like hell these last five days!" "All of you steel yourselves!" "We're not going to have time to sleep!" "Erza's fighting spirit is on fire!" "Sounds good to me!" "I'm fired up about training like hell!" "Alright!" "Follow me!" "We'll start with running!" "A pigeon?" "!" "Something's on its leg." "It's a note!" "Let's see..." "Don't tell me it's a love letter from Gray-sama?" "!" "Not even close!" "It says here... come to the broken suspension bridge on the hill." "Who do they think they are?" "!" "I don't like how they're givin' us orders!" "What shall we do?" "It sounds fishy." "let's check it out." "But it could be a trap..." "That's right!" "I don't think we should go!" "We'll know what it is if we go." "Yeah!" "This is gettin' interesting!" "This is what they meant by the broken suspension bridge?" "The hell?" "Nobody's here!" "Why are you so ready for a fight?" "just a prank?" "!" "didn't I?" "What the...?" "What's this?" "!" "The bridge..." "It fixed itself!" "It's connected to the other bank." "Telling us to cross it then..." "This may be a trap after all." "I'm kind of scared!" "but I say we go!" "Natsu!" "Alright!" "Go!" "Don't suddenly push me!" "You scared the crap outta me!" "He gets motion sickness even on a hanging bridge?" "suspension bridge!" "I'll show you to underestimate me!" "I really thought that anybody who crossed this bridge would fall down the gorge... huh?" "a guinea pig?" "!" "we know it's safe." "Let's all go!" "wherever you are." "all the better for our training." "Is training all you think about?" "People are over there!" "everyone!" "They're..." "Thank you for coming Fairy Tail." "Jellal!" "Erza." "Have you already heard how I escaped?" "Yeah." "Although I didn't intend to..." "Meldy and I broke him out of prison." "I didn't do anything." "you did most of it by yourself." "Meldy..." "Juvia!" "Long time no see!" "She has such a nice smile now..." "Jellal escaped from prison?" "!" "They're Grimoire... hold on." "They're not our enemies now." "Right?" "Yes." "I've committed a number of sins in my life and I know there's no way I can make up for them with the rest of my life." "But I want to at least help the people whose lives I've messed up." "That's what I thought." "People whose lives you've messed up... for example..." "Don't feel guilty." "We were both possessed by the dark side." "And that's in the past." "Jellal..." "Have you regained your memories?" "It all came back." "I remember everything." "while I was in prison." "Erza..." "I really don't know what to say..." "I'm responsible for what happened with the Tower of Heaven." "I was manipulating Jellal." "So please don't blame him." "I was either going to spend my life in prison or be executed." "I accepted that fate." "that is..." "You mean you've found a purpose to live for?" "Wendy... the Jellal you know seems to be another person entirely." "Yes!" "I've already solved that one." "I'm afraid." "We made a guild." "Neither a proper guild nor a Dark Guild..." "We're an independent guild." "A Witch's Crimes... "Crime Sorciere"." "An independent guild?" "What does that mean?" "That you aren't part of an alliance?" "Crime Sorciere." "I've heard of you!" "I heard your guild has destroyed many dark guilds in the last several years!" "We have just one purpose." "Zeref..." "Dark Guilds..." "We formed this guild to drive away all of the darkness from the world." "So not one more wizard will become possessed by the dark side as we were." "That's great!" "You should have the Council recognize you as an official guild." "remember?" "And we are former members of Grimoire Heart... even if the other side is a Dark Guild." "being independent works for our guild." "But we didn't call you here to introduce ourselves." "We heard you're going to participate in the Grand Magic Games." "Y-Yeah..." "We can't get near the arena." "So there's one favor we would ask of you." "You want somebody's autograph?" "thank you." "we sense a strange magical force." "We want you to get to the bottom of it." "What do you mean?" "right?" "You'd expect one or two weird kinds of magic... too." "But that magic is evil and somehow reminds me of Zeref." "It reminds you of Zeref?" "!" "Maybe we're able to sense it because we've gotten too close to Zeref in the past." "We want to find out where that magic is coming from." "It could give us a clue as to Zeref's location." "this has nothing to do with the outcome of the Games." "We'll be rooting for Fairy Tail from the sidelines." "we also want you to search for that mysterious magic." "but we'll give it a try." "We're in your debt." "Erza? too." "We'll pay your fee in advance." "Food expenses!" "Rent money!" "I don't mean money." "My evolved Time Ark will raise the level of your abilities. but that's not really what it is." "Wizards have something like a container that determines the limit of their magic power. the container will be full again." "But recent research has shown there's a part of the container wizards possess that normally doesn't get used." "Second Origin." "Second Origin?" "Time Ark will develop that container so you'll be able to use Second Origin." "you'll be able to use magic for a longer time as well as employ powerful magic." "but... you will battle against unimaginably excruciating pain." "Her eyes are scary..." "I don't care!" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "What should I do?" "!" "You seem more and more like a real woman!" "I am a woman!" "He's still hung up on that?" "Maybe you have to take your clothes off for the magic characters to be drawn." "I don't think you have to worry about that." "Hang in there." "Bringing out your latent ability is no simple matter." "Is he going to be okay?" "How painful is it?" "!" "Want to try a Sense Link?" "Are you out of your mind?" "!" "Meldy?" "too?" "I bet I'll cry!" "You're already crying!" "I-It has nothing to do with us..." "Maybe we should just go home..." "Natsu... where's Erza?" "She went somewhere with Jellal." "The two of them?" "!" "too." "If what's the case?" "I see she hasn't made any romantic progress." "Erza..." "Jellal?" "Yeah." "too?" "I killed him." "Do you remember about Nirvana?" "I remember." "I remember that I had amnesia then." "It feels strange." "Can I think of you as the "old" Jellal and treat you that way?" "That would make me happy... but there's still what happened with Simon." "I wouldn't blame you if you kept your distance." "I'm prepared to lay down my life." "Do you think that's what Simon would want?" "You formed a guild in order to destroy Dark Guilds." "That's how you're atoning for your sins." "That's what you're prepared to do!" "I don't know..." "What?" "!" "I created Crime Sorciere in the beginning to make amends for my sins." "But there's no way I can make up for what I did at the Tower of Heaven." "What am I doing this for?" "I can't get out of this labyrinth of my mind." "Maybe I should just die." "How can you talk so cowardly?" "!" "I'm not as strong as you are." "So you can't live if you're not strong?" "!" "Wrong!" "Living shows that you're strong!" "You're not the old Jellal!" "You're not the Jellal who struggled desperately to survive!" "You may be right... you..." "Erza..." "You're always right." "That's not true." "I live my life to the fullest." "That's all..." "Erza..." "I thought I'd never see you again." "Jellal..." "I can't." "I have a fiancée." "I wasn't thinking... uh..." "I'm sorry." "R-Really?" "!" "Congratulations!" "I didn't know!" "yeah!" "Is she dear to you?" "Yeah... too." "You're right." "no one can move." "Why doesn't it affect you like that?" "we can't stay in one place for long." "We're leaving. report it to us via pigeon." "Understood." "so do your best." "I'd really like to go see it for myself..." "Shall we go in disguise?" "No." "Erza..." "Bye-bye!" "Give everyone our regards." "And please take care of Gray..." "Mysterious magic power..." "I just hope Fairy Tail won't be put in danger." "I expect they'll be able to handle whatever comes their way. why did you lie about having a fiancée?" "You heard that?" "!" "Why don't you give yourself a break once in a while?" "Unless you mean to punish yourself?" "isn't it?" "remember?" "We can't be in love with anyone who walks in the light." "that's good enough for me." "couldn't you have told a better lie?" "were you trying to make yourself look cool?" "!" "huh?" "You always were lousy at lying." "Nothing has changed since then..." "But it's better this way." "This is our answer..." "Erza!" "We're in Crocus!" "isn't it?" "The Games are gonna be held here?" "!" "I'm rarin' to go!" "But who are those guys?" "!" "I hear they're Sabertooth's Dragon Slayers!" "Dragon Slayers?" "!" "the Blooming Capital!" "the strange talking cat with them says I look stupid..." "That I'm an idiot..." "Happy." "The Grand Magic Games are held once a year." "Natsu and the rest of the Tenrou group began a three-month-long training camp." "And so... Natsu and the others returned to the guild." "We're here!" "Why are all of you so exhausted?" "!" "Get a hold of yourselves!" "That's what a Man is!" "the Blooming Capital!" "Elfman!" "You sure bulked up!" "Mira-nee and I secluded ourselves in the mountains and trained there." "Muscles are a Man's romantic adventure!" "my former most-hated food!" "I conquered my fear of heights!" "I don't think that'll really come in handy..." "Our firing accuracy has got even better." "Yep." "I finished reading a 30-volume horror novel series." "Just reading?" "!" "you need to work on keeping that stomach in!" "My Sandstorm has become more powerful yet." "I'll beat even Natsu!" "What?" "!" "everyone!" "Gramps!" "It looks like you've all done your best to prepare for the Grand Magic Games." "That's not precisely the case... gather inside the guild." "Alright..." "I'm going to announce the five members who will participate in the Grand Magic Games as our representatives." "Natsu!" "Yeah!" "Gray!" "Naturally." "Erza!" "Leave it to me." "of course those three would be chosen." "Two left." "Being chosen like that is a Man!" "Juvia is going to be separated from Gray..." "No!" "The remaining two are Lucy and Wendy!" "Dang!" "So this is how it shakes out..." "Juvia and Gray-sama will be apart..." "It's unthinkable!" "I can't do this!" "You could choose Laxus or Gajeel instead!" "they haven't come back yet!" "Master based his decision on teamwork more than individual power." "let's do our utmost." "Yeah." "You're right." "Yes!" "I have to do my best! I thought..." "But you're sayin' it!" "Everyone!" "These Grand Magic Games are the perfect chance for Fairy Tail to regain its reputation! and Fairy Tail will become the number one guild in Fiore!" "I'm fired up!" "And so... the blooming capital of the kingdom of Fiore." "is held here." "The city teems with wizards and spectators from all over Fiore." "Mercurius." "is in the western mountains." "And... in the middle of the city..." "We still don't feel well...?" "!" "Did it really work?" "!" "The magic to unleash Second Origin... even though I still have a little pain in the joints." "Yeesh." "You people are pathetic." "Erza?" "!" "I bet she had her Second Origin all along." "I buy that." "I've never been to a city this huge before." "Me neither!" "It's bigger than Edolas's castle town." "So you finally made it..." "Master!" "I took care of all the entry paperwork." "You better show me the power of Fairy Tail!" "he says!" "Those chumps?" "!" "The perennial last place losers?" "!" "Who just laughed?" "!" "Stifle it." "too!" "And Sabertooth is sure to win it." "let 'em." "Then I won't hold back..." "Don't look at us and laugh!" "Listen!" "I've got 30 million jewel... do your best to aim for the number one guild in Fiore!" "who saved our lives! I have no idea what it is!" "right?" "The competition changes every year." "Pick me up!" "they had a shooting contest... they had a race..." "The team with the greatest cumulative points over a number of events is the winner... but it seems there's no consistency with the events." "then we'll just play it by ear." "though!" "we sense a strange magical force." "A mysterious force... and mysterious contests..." "Erza!" "Read the official rulebook by tomorrow." "Read this...?" "Leave it to me!" "I've got Windreading Glasses!" "Levy-chan! I'd say there are three important things." "The first is that a guild master can't participate." "that makes sense." "Anyone who doesn't have the guild emblem is counted as a spectator and may not participate." "too." "the rules for each event won't be revealed until right before the event starts." "Not much info of use there." "There is a warning at the end." "It says that all the participants have to be back at their designated inn by midnight." "Midnight?" "When?" "right?" "Back by midnight... the princess with the glass slippers." "How can Gray-sama be saying romantic things when Juvia isn't around?" "!" "my prince!" "we still got plenty of time!" "It's not every day you get a chance to visit a town this big!" "Let's go exploring!" "sir!" "Let's go!" "Hey!" "Do you even know the inn we're staying at?" "!" "right?" "!" "Just make sure you're back by midnight!" "Got it?" "!" "Aye!" "Midnight... at the designated inn..." "Honeybone." "six beds have been prepared..." "So we're all supposed to sleep in the same room?" "but still..." "Gray-sama!" "Juvia!" "What are you doing here?" "!" "It's not only Juvia!" "Everyone in the guild came to cheer you on." "Jeez." "Those guys have too much free time..." "Um..." "Would you like to have dinner together?" "I am hungry." "I know a good restaurant in town." "Lyon!" "It's combined with the aquarium." "A really fashionable restaurant." "Huh?" "Wait..." "What is this?" "Hey!" "Don't just walk off with one of my members!" "Gray." "though." "I hear you guys come in second every year." "And you guys are in last place every year. but that was without Jura-san or me participating." "don't you?" "Are you forgetting?" "We got this monster named Erza on our side!" "Let's make a wager." "Juvia will join our guild!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "And if we win...?" "I'll return Juvia to your guild." "She's ours to begin with!" "Gray." "Gimme a break!" "That's no kind of bet!" "Are you afraid of losing?" "What's that?" "!" "Gray-sama!" "Do you want Juvia?" "!" "Or Lyon-sama?" "!" "Please make up your mind!" "are you?" "You're always right." "That's not true." "I live my life to the fullest." "That's all..." "Erza..." "Men!" "You have the same beguiling parfum as always." "How dare you enter someone's room uninvited?" "!" "Men!" "You're beautiful when you're angry." "though." "Have a hot washcloth." "That goes the same for you!" "Forever Trimens!" "look at that!" "Wow!" "Mercurius." "I wonder what the king is like..." "I wonder if he has a mustache..." "I bet he does." "They've got flowers everywhere in this town." "No wonder it's called the "blooming capital"." "A fight!" "You can't have a festival without a fight!" "Where is it?" "!" "This is what I'd expect with all the guilds of Fiore gathering here." "wait!" "This smell..." "What's wrong?" "It smells similar to a dragon..." "Don't tell me..." "Move it!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Anybody else?" "oh yeah!" "too." "What the...?" "!" "You!" "Natsu Dragneel!" "Cats?" "!" "What's up with this stupid-looking cat?" "Stupid!" "They talk!" "Do I have to say something here...?" "Who the hell are you guys?" "Sting and Rogue?" "!" "They're the cornerstone of Fiore's strongest guild!" "Then these two are... huh?" "Rumor has it you're gonna be in the Grand Magic Games." "Is that true?" "You know about me?" "Acnologia... right?" "Are you sure you should keep calling yourself a Dragon Slayer?" "I used to look up to you." "this guy was into Gajeel-san." "I was just interested as a fellow Dragon Slayer." "Dragon Slayer?" "!" "Both of you?" "!" "Maybe you oughta call us true Dragon Slayers..." "We would've beaten Acnologia." "That's easy for you two to say when you've never even laid eyes on Acnologia!" "That's right!" "cat." "right?" "It doesn't matter if we've seen it or not." "The point here is the difference in our aptitude as Dragon Slayers." "I'll explain." "Natsu-kun and the rest learned Dragon Slaying Magic from dragons." "They're the so-called First Generation." "Your Laxus-kun and Oracion Seis's Cobra-kun are known as the Second Generation." "They can use Dragon Slaying Magic through a Dragon Lacrima embedded in their body. but also have a Dragon Lacrima implanted in their body... the hybrid Third Generation!" "Third Generation?" "!" "they're the strongest Dragon Slayers!" "you say?" "There's a world of difference in ability between the First Generation and Third Generation." "It's not even worth talking about." "too?" "!" "in a manner of speaking..." "I'll give it to you straight." "The dragons who taught us Dragon Slayer Magic so we could become true Dragon Slayers..." "You killed dragons?" "!" "Humans killed dragons...?" "You murdered your own parents?" "!" "They're late..." "You guys..." "Where the hell were you all this time?" "!" "I had dinner that was no fun at all..." "We got into a weird tangle with some people... or maybe we started it... I'll show you the power that can slay a real dragon!" "Let's go." "I'm not interested in the older generation." "Both the outdated Dragon Slayer and his cat companion are lame-o's!" "too!" "I'm not gonna let 'em get away with it!" "Wendy's not back yet?" "Come to think of it..." "She's late... so I doubt she's lost..." "It's almost midnight..." "That little girl is out this late..." "Staying out late..." "Bad company..." "Juvenile delinquency!" "This town is mine!" "What should we do?" "!" "Do all fiction writers have this kind of imagination?" "Hey!" "We brought treats!" "Tomorrow's the big day!" "Elfman!" "Lisanna!" "too?" "!" "Yeah. but giving up is also a Man!" "Good timing." "Can I ask you a favor?" "What is it?" "Wendy hasn't come back to the inn yet." "And we're apparently not supposed to do anything until after midnight." "Is something going to happen at midnight?" "but there's a rule that says we have to be here by midnight." "I notice it is midnight now..." "What's gonna happen?" "!" "Everyone in the guilds who have gathered together for the Grand Magic Games..." "Good morning!" "Outside?" "!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "It's huge!" "A three-dimensional image!" "A pumpkin!" "we're going to take the 113 participating teams and have an elimination round to pare them down to eight!" "Elimination round?" "!" "We didn't hear about this!" "Was there an elimination round last time?" "No." "What does this mean?" "So midnight is the time the elimination round starts?" "And it'll suddenly narrow down 113 guilds to eight?" "113..." "Huh?" "That's more than the number of guilds in Fiore..." "They couldn't have notified everyone beforehand about an elimination round?" "Peculiar behavior..." "Too many guilds..." "Mysterious magic power..." "Is the sponsor the one we should be suspicious of?" "the number of participating guilds increases and it was pointed out that the events were getting stale." "there will be only eight teams competing in the official games." "The elimination rules are simple!" "What the...?" "!" "What is this?" "!" "The inn is transforming!" "Look!" "It's the same with the other inns!" "Transforming is a Man's romantic fantasy!" "All of you are going to race each other." "Domus Flau." "The first eight teams to arrive there will go on." "Paths!" "We have to take the path?" "You're free to use your magic." "There are no restrictions." "only the first eight teams to get to the goal will survive this round." "all five members must arrive together or it doesn't count!" "And one more thing!" "We take no responsibility for any lives lost in the labyrinth." "Labyrinth?" "!" "The Grand Magic Games elimination round!" "Sky Labyrinth... begin!" "man!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "A giant labyrinth in the sky?" "It looks like that's the venue for the elimination round." "I suck at mazes!" "the first eight teams to get to the goal will make it past this round." "So it's a competition!" "But I guess all five members of the team have to get to the goal together." "Crap!" "Wendy's not here!" "Next time:" "Sky Labyrinth!" "how about if I fill in for Wendy...?" "Elfman says he'll join the team!" "Figures..." "The Grand Magic Games elimination round!" "Sky Labyrinth..." "Begin!" "we better hurry up." "Yeah!" "Wait!" "What?" "!" "He said all five members of the team have to reach the goal together." "Wendy isn't back yet." "that's right!" "Wendy!" "Then what are we gonna do?" "!" "you got a Man right here." "Member change!" "What superhuman strength!" "Elf-nii-chan!" "Guess we got no choice." "I don't think we have time to wait for Wendy!" "Elfman!" "Leave it to me!" "Lisanna!" "Happy!" "Erza?" "!" "Search for Wendy and Carla!" "I just hope they haven't got into any trouble..." "Okay!" "I'll talk to our people!" "everyone!" "Man!" "There's the entrance to the labyrinth!" "Nope!" "There's the entrance to being number one in Fiore!" "Team Fairy Tail!" "Yeah!" "Sky Labyrinth!" "Let's begin with an explanation of the elimination round's rules." "there are 113 teams strong participating in the Grand Magic Games." "The purpose of this elimination round is to cut down that number all at once to eight teams who will compete in the Games proper." "The rules are simple." "All of the teams must go from their inn to Sky Labyrinth the Games arena." "The eight teams that arrive first survive the elimination round and will compete in the Games. and there are no restrictions." "However... The Grand Magic Games executive committee assumes no responsibility!" "So it's a three-dimensional maze in here..." "I'm not good with stuff like this!" "Get it together! because we'll be cut!" "right?" "!" "We gotta get through here an' beat those Sabertooth bastards to a pulp!" "Let's get to the goal before they do!" "A Man finishes the elimination round in first place!" "we should head east." "The arena is in that direction." "count on me!" "Open!" "Gate of the Compass!" "Pyxis!" "Pyxis!" "Tell us which way is east!" "That way is east!" "Lucy." "I brought along a compass." "Pyxis..." "Good job." "Let's head east!" "A Man charges straight through!" "can we?" "Not the way this is constructed..." "Is the roof folded back over?" "!" "You're doing okay?" "but I'm not feelin' sick at all." "I'll explain!" "this entire Sky Labyrinth has been treated with magic so even those with motion sickness or fear of heights can compete fairly!" "So it's like a Troia." "Maybe that means Natsu isn't the only wizard with motion sickness!" "That's just pathetic." "I can hear you two!" "let's keep going east!" "Right!" "What the hell is this?" "!" "Just lookin' at it is making me dizzy!" "I can't tell if that end is above or below!" "Whichever!" "Let's go!" "but charges ahead!" "how far does this thing go?" "Don't worry about it!" "At the end of it'll be the goal!" "Hey!" "Get a hold of yourself!" "What the hell's goin' on here?" "!" "it's a labyrinth." "That reminds me of what he said about not taking responsibility even if people die... headfirst." "huh?" "We ain't gonna get to the goal by inspecting this whole place!" "Let's just look around to the east!" "I think it'd be a good idea to take notes as we go." "Notes?" "Like how we've gotten here from the starting point..." "What kind of places we've passed... we won't be able to make progress easily." "we can't just complain about it." "I see." "She's talking about mapping the place." "Taking notes?" "!" "I don't know one place from another!" "Natsu?" "My nose isn't working." "Maybe that's due to the magic cast in this labyrinth..." "Every team has the same conditions." "let's keep going!" "Wendy-nee isn't with them?" "!" "Isn't with them..." "You mean she's missing?" "Carla isn't there either!" "But the rule is there has to be five people!" "So Natsu-nii and the rest will..." "Elf-nii-chan suddenly filled in for her." "Elfman's in the elimination round?" "Seriously?" "!" "too!" "look... we have to look for those two!" "spread the word." "If we split up into teams and stay in contact through Warren... this is a huge city..." "Got it!" "I just hope they haven't gotten caught up in some kind of trouble... let's get back to the rest of the gang." "but we have to make an efficient search for them." "Yeah..." "East is that way!" "It's hard taking notes on this maze." "'cause every inch has distinctive features..." "Hey!" "Erza... too." "You're the one that said it's this way!" "it's my fault?" "!" "but we've already been this way once." "Right?" "!" "I knew it!" "we gotta keep goin' or we'll run out of time!" "Come to think of it... right?" "Hey." "Are you serious?" "!" "That mug..." "Fairy Tail!" "Unbelievable!" "Those guys!" "This guild is Twilight Ogre. this is the guild that threatened Fairy Tail." "but... they're a piss-poor lookin' guild!" "Lame-o's!" "too." "I could say the same to you." "You're the one who's in the guild that's perpetually last." "This year's Fairy Tail is different!" "How so?" "!" "wait a second!" "Are we gonna fight here?" "!" "We're free to use magic in here!" "There are no restrictions!" "We'll crush you right here!" "These dopes don't learn." "I'm fired up!" "We're seriously gonna battle?" "!" "the better." "but..." "Who would've guessed we'd run into 'em this quickly?" "!" "Get 'em!" "I'm gonna pay 'em back every bit for that last time!" "We got our eyes on overthrowing Sabertooth!" "That and bein' number one in Fiore!" "You're in our way!" "What the...?" "!" "Hey-hey-hey-hey!" "What is this?" "!" "this is..." "The entire labyrinth is rotating!" "What?" "!" "The entire labyrinth is rotating!" "R-Rotating?" "!" "What's that about?" "!" "What the heck is that?" "!" "don't tell me... look!" "no!" "People are falling!" "right?" "I hope Natsu is okay..." "It's rotating on a Z-axis!" "move to the flank!" "I'm already falling!" "If only Happy were here...!" "You don't need Happy!" "You've got a Man here." "N-Nice catch!" "Elfman!" "It was nothin'!" "Are you guys okay?" "!" "Yeah!" "It's stopped." "But this is seriously screwed up." "What kind of contraption is this?" "the idea is to take over 100 teams and narrow them down to eight." "This is a logical way." "And lots of teams were just shaken right off..." "Maybe I'll just quit..." "What is this?" "A map?" "!" "Looks like it..." "That's a stroke of luck!" "it'll be an even more accurate map!" "Hey!" "That's..." "It's yours?" "G-Give it back!" "I refuse." "You are disqualified." "I see..." "I'm starting to get an idea of how this elimination round works... your eyes are scary!" "The elimination round has revved up into high gear at last." "it's gonna get even crazier!" "We'll pare down those teams like nobody's business!" "Then there's only one thing to do!" "Steal maps from the other teams!" "This is more of a battle than a race!" "It's a Man's scramble for maps!" "that's right up our alley!" "I'm taking this!" "By all means!" "this makes the sixth one!" "I have no idea how to read this map!" "Lucy's good at stuff like that." "Then let's bring all the maps together and have Lucy decipher 'em!" "Me?" "!" "If you would." "Sure." "Give us your maps!" "I got three more teams' worth!" "I've got seven teams' worth!" "I'm sorry..." "How cruel..." "It's movin' again!" "Hang on to something!" "It stopped." "Alright!" "Let's get back to our map quest!" "Max!" "Did you find out anything?" "!" "and no relevant info at all out there... right?" "Wendy?" "!" "We need to hurry up and find her so Natsu and the rest can focus on the elimination round." "Warren?" "We're coming up clueless. and I can't imagine she would be in Domus Flau..." "About all that leaves is the palace..." "Now that you mention it..." "What is it?" "Carla said she was going to sightseeing spots with Wendy..." "Then... you don't think..." "they could be in the palace?" "Let's check it out!" "Yeah! it would waste a lot of time." "huh?" "I figured doing that would make it easy for us to locate east but none of us could've guessed that the central part was some wide open landscape..." "And upside down on top of that..." "The problem is there is no east or west here." "Even the compass has gotten dizzy." "Then we don't know which way to go..." "But we can't afford to stand around either." "I was waiting for a time like this!" "What are you going on about?" "Lucy?" "No!" "Open!" "Gate of the Compass!" "Pyxis!" "That's the one from before..." "It's scared of somethin'." "It's traumatized by Erza's compass." "It's my fault?" "!" "this is your time to shine!" "A compass is useless now!" "Look." "It just spins around." "we need your power!" "I apologize for before." "Will you help us?" "huh?" "goin' up against Erza?" "Did you say something?" "!" "Nope!" "Not a word!" "East is that way!" "That way..." "You mean up?" "!" "You sure about this?" "!" "Yeah!" "The power of a Celestial Spirit is way stronger than just some compass!" "How are we supposed to climb up there?" "!" "isn't it?" "This." "That's what you meant?" "!" "There are birds..." "This is a peaceful place. but I can't stand the idea of failing this elimination round now." "What are you lying around for?" "We're still in a race." "Hurry!" "Let's aim for first place in this round!" "Yeah!" "Man!" "Yeesh!" "What the hell is this?" "!" "Now it's the sea?" "!" "How far does this go?" "!" "Calm down and look carefully!" "That sky is a fake." "It's painted onto a wall!" "Then we've reached the end of this path and that's the goal?" "!" "Alright!" "Last spurt!" "Yeah!" "This is the palace of the king of Fiore?" "Mercurius..." "This is my first time seeing it." "Me too!" "you two!" "What are you doing here at this time of night?" "!" "Excuse me." "someone from our guild who was meant to participate in the elimination round of the Grand Magic Games has gone missing." "We looked all over Crocus." "This is the last place we haven't checked." "Hey!" "R-Right..." "His Majesty is also looking forward to the Grand Magic Games..." "You can look in the courtyard." "We can go in?" "!" "What'd you say?" "!" "Are you serious?" "!" "Is something wrong?" "Happy and Lisanna just went into the palace!" "I've never even been in there!" "you know?" "The garden is open to the public for sightseeing." "Let's split up here." "relay it to Warren." "sir!" "Roger!" "We're on our way to Mercurius right now!" "I just hope they're safe..." "Trouble from the elimination round already?" "I can tell this is going to be hard going..." "Elfman Strauss!" "Erza Scarlet!" "Gray Fullbuster!" "Lucy Heartfilia!" "Natsu Dragneel..." "Congratulations!" "You passed the elimination round!" "of course." "It went smooth as silk." "Are we in first place?" "!" "No." "Eighth." "You barely made it." "What?" "!" "our eight teams are all present!" "is over!" "How did Natsu and the rest do?" "!" "Which guilds are going on to the real Games?" "!" "Which guilds are going to participate in the real Games?" "You'll find out at the opening ceremony!" "Why not tell us now?" "!" "Miser!" "I see!" "The elimination round is already finished." "Happy!" "Is something wrong?" "Th-That..." "No..." "It can't be..." "Wendy's bag..." "Where's Carla?" "Where's Wendy?" "Calm down." "Let's look for them around here." "Right." "Come on!" "Aye!" "What's that?" "!" "You found them?" "!" "Are they okay?" "!" "they're both unconscious!" "Warren!" "Caral!" "It's me!" "Wake up! but it's strange..." "I hardly sense any magic power from Wendy." "It's the same with Carla!" "What should we do?" "!" "She's awake!" "Wendy!" "What happened?" "!" "No!" "it's me!" "It's Lisanna!" "Do you remember me?" "!" "too!" "Happy..." "Lisanna-san..." "What happened to me...?" "You tell us!" "What happened?" "!" "We were..." "The elimination round of the Grand Magic Games..." "Elfman stepped up in place of Wendy." "Natsu and the rest barely managed to make it through the round." "And the Grand Magic Games proper are about to begin at last." "What will become of Team Natsu's battle to dethrone Sabertooth and become Fiore's number one guild?" "huh?" "There's gotta be some mistake." "You came in last." "right?" "Now we just gotta take down places one through seven all at once!" "All at once?" "right?" "Um..." "So we just gotta beat 40 people!" "Next time:" "New Guild! too!" "Then make it 39 people!" "never mind." "Beer!" "Get your beer!" "it's that time of year!" "The annual magic festival..." "The Grand Magic Games!" "That's some cheering." "I didn't realize there'd be so many people." "Both Fiore wizards it seems." "I really don't like this outfit." "It's too late to whine about it now!" "right?" "I like mine." "It's cute." "Yep." "Me too." "Say that after you put clothes on! but I'm supposed to put this on...?" "That's great!" "huh?" "The problem is your body's gotten too big. but is Wendy okay?" "Wendy!" "Where was she?" "!" "Near some bushes in the palace garden." "Wendy!" "Natsu-san..." "What happened?" "I'm sorry..." "I can't... really remember..." "Wendy..." "It seems she has magic deficiency disease." "Poluchka-san!" "What are you doing here?" "Something wrong with coming to cheer you on?" "No!" "You don't need to be that nervous around me." "I'm not going to eat you up." "Right..." "I heard what's going on with you so here I am." "Let me have a look." "you said she has magic deficiency disease..." "Yes." "Magic deficiency disease is when the sudden loss of a great deal of magic power causes all of the muscles to weaken." "she'll recover." "What happened? but there was some kind of black animal..." "Wendy... everyone..." "I..." "I can't participate..." "Elfman-san..." "Please compete in my place." "Of course!" "Leave it to me!" "everyone leave." "She needs her rest now!" "Let's go." "The only thing we can do right now is compete in the Grand Magic Games." "right?" "We have to become Fiore's number one guild!" "quit crying." "The Grand Magic Games is a festival that lasts seven days." "you should be able to take part." "I swear I'll cure you!" "Grandine." "Don't call me by that name!" "New Guild!" "Is the villain who harmed Wendy someone connected to this tournament?" "It's possible." "Someone trying to weaken us?" "Or..." "All we can do now is do this!" "too!" "the curtain will rise on the Grand Magic Games. who will provide the commentary." "I look forward to working together." "Likewise." "Blue Pegasus's Jenny Rearlight!" "We're gonna win this year!" "let's go!" "the players are about to take the field!" "Starting with the eighth-ranked team!" "Can they recapture their past glory?" "!" "The group whose name clashes with their rowdiness!" "Fairy Tail!" "What?" "!" "are they?" "!" "What the heck is this?" "! they were eighth place." "Will the Tenrou bunch that created a sensation with their homecoming now become Fiore's number one?" "!" "Don't let it get to you." "I'm just glad they're back." "Fairy Tail." "Let's start cheering' 'em on!" "Fairy Tail!" "As long as we've got the support of our comrades." "That's all that counts." "Yeah." "Fairy Tail!" "What the heck is that?" "!" "I don't believe it!" "How...?" "!" "Fairy Tail!" "Master Mavis!" "I've come to show my support." "You came..." "It's fine!" "Only those bearing the guild's insignia can see me." "don't know if that's the issue..." "I've got nothing to do being cooped up on Tenroujima all the time." "It's encouraging having the first master here to watch us!" "Even though she's a ghost... Quatro Cerberus!" "Wild Four!" "all you bastards! Mermaid Heel!" "I never heard of that guild! Blue Pegasus!" "everyone! Lamia Scale!" "you idiots?" "!" "Obaba-sama." "I screwed up..." "Who the hell is she?" "What happened to her usual "love"?" "Where's the love?" "don't get flustered." "Lyon." "Cheria is Sherry's cousin." "Cousin?" "She's totally strong!" "I'm not." "I still don't have nearly enough love." "I'm complimenting you!" "Don't blow your stack over that." "huh?" "Gray." "Don't forget that promise." "Juvia joins our guild. but we ain't gonna lose to you people." "I'll take Erza-san." "You're not taking me anywhere!" "you exude an exquisite parfum..." "I'll choose you." "Although it's not because I especially like you..." "Have you been acting like this for the past seven years?" "Then I choose Wendy-chan..." "You've sure grown." "In an unfortunate way..." "Stupid." "Maybe I'll join Mermaid Heel!" "That's off-topic!" "I haven't seen that person before either..." "Wild!" "Wild!" "Are you sure that's a person?" "!" "Wild Four!" "finishing third in the elimination round... and in third place!" "Raven Tail!" "Raven Tail?" "!" "Ivan..." "But that's a Dark Guild!" "You're lettin' a guild like that participate in the Grand Magic Games?" "!" "calm down." "You'll fall from there..." "I sense malice coming off of them." "They said that's a Dark Guild." "I don't think I've heard of them before. but they've only recently been recognized as a legitimate guild. right?" "Ivan..." "How dare you?" "!" "How did you manage that?" "!" "Father." "Don't spoil this day." "Fairy Tail..." "The girl was just by way of greeting." "You guys did that to Wendy..." "I'll get you for that!" "Let's enjoy the festival." "Ivan... there are still two more teams that made it through the elimination round!" "That's right." "There are still two more... right?" "And the other..." "The main guilds are all already out here..." "Was there another strong guild that kept itself hidden?" "Does it have a connection to the magic power that Jellal was talking about?" "this is a shocker!" "Will they become the soaring key with tattered wings?" "improbable Fairy Tail B Team!" "Nee-chan!" "Gajeel?" "!" "Juvia?" "!" "Isn't it against the rules for Laxus to be on the team?" "!" "Another Fairy Tail team..." "And what's Mystogan doin' there?" "!" "you're..." "Jellal?" "!" "Seriously?" "!" "Juvia..." "Lyon?" "That's Fairy Tail for you." "Two teams made the cut..." "Laxus... and Gajeel..." "What the hell is this?" "!" "Why does Fairy Tail get two teams?" "!" "That's too wild!" "it looks like a lot of people are up in arms" "Yajima-san. but they can also have two teams participating." "Master!" "You see that?" "!" "That's Fairy Tail! but will members of the same guild be able to fight each other?" "I don't think they'd have a problem with it... is it? right? yes?" "That is an advantage to them-mabo." "Mabo?" "I see!" "That's how there were so many teams participating." "Gimme a break!" "but I go all out in a showdown an' show no mercy!" "so you're the enemy!" "I ain't gonna lose against you bastards!" "You took the words right out of my mouth eighth place team member." "Gajeel's gotten a lot stronger." "Not strong enough to beat Natsu!" "B team looks totally tough!" "Elfman?" "Nee-chan..." "Jella..." "Mystogan..." "You..." "You've got a very understanding master." "he consented readily." "You said you wouldn't come near the venue." "I hadn't yet thought of this method." "It's an infraction of the rules." "You're not a member of our guild." "Though I've heard that Mystogan and I are the same person in a sense... don't get so huffy about it." "Mystogan?" "Erza." "Mystogan..." "Mystogan is just a little more tight-lipped." "Be careful." "Understood." "is he?" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "I told you not to do it." "I tried to stop him." "But he's not evil." "I sense that he has the same heart as those who bear the insignia of our guild." "you could say he is a member of our guild." "I see." "So that's this world's Jellal." "The prince..." "Is he strong?" "sure." "He was formerly counted as one of the 10 Great Wizard Saints." "I approve." "So that Fairy Tail wins!" "That's the first master for you... she doesn't care..." "That's our guild in a nutshell." "have you noticed anything?" "nothing especially." "right?" "They don't mesh with the magic power I sense every year." "How about you?" "Do you sense that magic power or whatever now?" "No." "Not yet." "Gajeel-chan... we've just got one more team left to introduce!" "you know who it is!" "indisputable champions!" "Sabertooth!" "huh?" "Natsu-san!" "Who the hell are you starin' at?" "!" "Gajeel..." "So that's Fiore's strongest guild?" "Sting-kun!" "too!" "Are those Exceeds in the stands?" "!" "Natsu!" "do your best! Yajima-san?" "I envy their youth!" "That's not really what I meant... you've waited long enough." "I'm going to announce the program of the Grand Magic Games!" "So there's a competition and battle every day?" "huh? from first to eighth." "each team can select one of their members to take part. the results of fan votes will be taken into consideration when the sponsors make the pairings." "What?" "!" "They can decide on the match-ups however they want?" "!" "In other words... then be forced into battle." "The rules for the battle part are simple. with the winning team receiving ten points and the losing team getting zero points." "both teams will receive five points." "the Grand Magic Games' opening game!" "Let's begin "Hidden"!" "Hidden...?" "What kind of a game is that?" "!" "One person from each team will compete." "I'll explain the rules of the game after all of the players are on the field." "Leave this one to me!" "Never forget!" "Your soul is always..." "Wild Four!" "The first person to step up is Quatro Cerberus's Yeager!" "Let me check out the first one!" "You have permission." "Beth Vanderwood!" "you go." "Sure thing." "Nalpudding!" "I'll do this one." "Eve-kun is our first person." "Eve-kun is our first person!" "Eve Tilm!" "I'll do it." "The singing of the birds is pleasant today." "and they go with the minstrel who sings to the red moon!" "Rufus is here!" "Why are they makin' such a fuss?" "!" "Idiots! so maybe hiding is necessary." "If only Wendy were here..." "She's little..." "I'll go first!" "I'll do it as a Man!" "meatball?" "!" "so it should be either me or Yuuka." "Don't call me small!" "No." "I'm going to take off like a rocket from the start." "I'll do it." "Lyon Vastia!" "too." "You can show me what this tournament is like." "Gray Fullbuster!" "then so is Juvia!" "there'll be hell to pay!" "Juvia Lockser!" "All of the participating players from the eight teams are set!" "Hidden"!" "Look at all the Grays!" "huh?" "She's happy with a copy?" "Weirdo!" "too..." "What would you do with it?" "Make tons of copies of my favorite fish!" "Can you eat copies of fish?" "Come on!" "Don't throw cold water on my dreams!" "Next time:" "On a Night of Falling Stars!" "Natsu!" "No!" "Anything but that!" "The Grand Magic Games are about to begin at last." "And Jellal is participating after all!" "right?" "it wasn't for nothing." "At least not for Jellal and Erza... the Grand Magic Games' opening game!" "Let's begin "Hidden"!" "The first person to step up is Quatro Cerberus's Yeager!" "Beth Vanderwood!" "Nalpudding!" "Eve Tilm!" "and they go with the minstrel who sings to the red moon!" "Rufus is here!" "Lyon Vastia!" "Gray Fullbuster!" "Juvia Lockser!" "All of the participating players from the eight teams are set!" "Hidden"!" "On a Night of Falling Stars!" "The Grand Magic Games have begun at last!" "okay?" "There can be up to five participants from each guild." "The Grand Magic Games is a festival that lasts seven days." "you should be able to take part." "I swear I'll cure you!" "It looks like you can have reserve members. can take part in the tournament." "There are eight teams that made it past the elimination round and can enter the real games." "There are two of our Fairy Tail teams." "I'm so proud!" "so I'll cut this short." "Are you sure it's okay to do that?" "!" "Day 1:" "Hidden and Battle Day 2: ?" "and Battle Day 3: ?" "and Battle Day 4: ?" "and Tag Battle Day 5:" "Grand Magic Games" "The tournament takes place over the span of five days." "This is the program." "Each day has a competition part and a battle part." "the teams can decide which member participates." "Competition Part Points 1st place: 10 points 2nd place: 8 points 3rd place: 6 points 4th place: 4 points 5th place: 3 points 6th place: 2 points 7th place: 1 point 8th place: 0 points" "It's a tournament in which each team is ranked." "the sponsors apparently decide the match-ups." "Battle Part Win: 10 points Tie: 5 points Loss: 0 points but are awarded with wins." "This system will play out repeatedly over five days the team with the most points will be the winner." "Fairy Tail!" "come forward." "See ya later." "Good luck!" "You better not lose!" "Especially to Gajeel's team!" "And Sabertooth and Raven Tail and..." "Gray!" "We're about ready to begin!" "But exactly what kind of competition is "Hidden"?" "is there a player we should pay attention to especially? but I'm going to be watching Gray-kun." "Blue Pegasus's Jenny-san?" "!" "our Eve-kun." "He's strong!" "Gray-sama... but Juvia has no intentions of losing." "Course not!" "Hit me with everything you got!" "but I'll give you everything I've got as well." "For Juvia's sake!" "Don't pay him any attention." "His stupidity may be catching. but what are you?" "I'm a pumpkin!" "Huh?" "Should I not have asked that?" "too. but what's inside...?" "This happens every year." "though..." "I think he's a staff member." "Good job creating a character." "so no need for praise-kabo!" "Don't go overboard on the character thing!" "Hold on a second here." "Hidden"..." "I don't know what it entails and that goes for all of the competitions ahead but it's pretty obvious that the two fairies have an advantage." "It can't be helped." "It's amazing that two teams from the same guild made it this far k-k-kabo..." "It's fine with me." "My memory is singing." "It's not necessarily the case that two of them confers an advantage." "I don't especially care either!" "I'm fine with it." "I'm impressed." "Is that what they call the "confidence of a king"?" "It's possible your fellow guild member will become your weakness." "leak information..." "And many more unfavorable circumstances could be created." "Keep that in mind." "If I don't forget it..." "Field open!" "What the...?" "!" "A town?" "!" "It's huge!" "Whoa..." "What the hell is goin' on here?" "!" "A city is appearing in the middle of the arena!" "Now I've seen everything..." "The creation of a town?" "How much magic is being used to pull that off?" "!" "Juvia!" "Leon!" "What happened to everyone else?" "!" "Everyone disappeared..." "I see..." "So that's the idea..." "Hide and seek here?" "Where should I hide?" "This is a weird way to play hide and seek!" "Nobody's the "seeker"!" "please enjoy what's going on in town via Lacrima Vision." "The eight participants don't know what the others are doing." "The rules of "Hidden" are simple." "Each person is both the hider and seeker!" "What's that?" "!" "Find each other in this town!" "You can use any kind of magic." "Then deliver one blow!" "It doesn't matter if you do any damage." "The person who attacks gets one point." "W-What the hell is this?" "What the hell's goin' on here?" "!" "There are tons of the same faces!" "That makes you sick?" "!" "isn't it?" "!" "This is a pain." "Even we'll probably lose track of which is the real Gray." "These are copies of everyone. you lose one point!" "disappear into the silence!" "Like a black cat lurking in the dark night!" "Let "Hidden" begin! but more about figuring' out how to find your real enemy!" "There are so many Gray-samas!" "no one will care if Juvia takes just one!" "Gray-sama... my!" "Juvia attacked a copy and lost one point!" "the player restarts ten seconds later in a different area. and the player restarts in a different area ten seconds later." "That idiot..." "This may be a disadvantage to Juvia..." "I would've done it. it's possible for the players to restart any number of times." "The time limit is 30 minutes and the team that has the most points at the end will be in first place." "it's harder to find than it is to hide!" "I don't know about that." "You should try to grasp the rules faster." "Who are you?" "!" "Nalpudding from Raven Tail." "I didn't figure you'd be the first one to come at me." "But now I don't have to look for you!" "Ice Hammer!" "isn't it?" "It's the result of all his training." "And now I'm gettin' a point." "What?" "!" "That attack should've nailed him head on!" "I don't believe it..." "Too bad." "That was a copy." "The real thing was right behind the copy!" "Then he gets a point taken away for attacking a copy?" "!" "Dammit!" "I blew it!" "I see." "So that's how he did it..." "He did a good job using his copy to approach the enemy... they could possibly do a surprise attack." "This is "Hidden"!" "Everyone is blending in with the crowd." "How is he gonna find 'em now?" "!" "I'm glad I'm not out there!" "That kind of stuff's outta my league!" "the enemy will be alerted to his presence." "Gray?" "Which one's the enemy?" "Which one's real?" "!" "Gray-san..." "I found you!" "Gray!" "How did he know?" "!" "That guy..." "He went after me again!" "You're an easy mark!" "and the fierce but silent battle continues!" "Nalpudding is in first place!" "what should you do to ferret out the flesh and blood ones?" "There are various ways." "you could look for your opponent's magic." "I think Eve-kun has a better method than that." "Look for your opponent's magic... but pinpointing it is tough." "Gray!" "What the hell are you doin'?" "!" "Don't let the same guy tag you twice!" "Raven Tail..." "Blondie?" "you went after Wendy... huh?" "Blondie..." "Flare." "Ivan..." "Gray!" "Crap." "Back to square one..." "Carrot Missiles!" "Huh?" "I missed!" "What the...?" "!" "I saw you use your magic!" "too." "Leon..." "Gray." "Gray-sama!" "Juvia!" "Panties!" "I don't need you to give me a hand." "Juvia knows." "I saw a piece of heaven..." "Juvia is going to beat you." "Juvia promised Master!" "You promised Gramps?" "Yes." "Gimme a break!" "Who's gonna be part of that spectacle?" "! but I don't like being on "B Team"." "Then let's do this." "The team that wins gets to do what they want with the other team for a whole day." "it's a "punishment game" for the losing team." "Do what I want for a whole day..." "Buy me some lunch!" "Laxus-san!" "Do what I want..." "Dance!" "Sure!" "huh?" "please." "At once." "Do what Juvia wants..." "That's..." "I have no choice." "close your eyes." "Okay." "Quit screwin' around!" "Gramps!" "I didn't hear anything about this!" "doesn't it?" "!" "O-Of course." "Huh." "That could be fun." "Do an imitation of Happy!" "Aye!" "That's... fun?" "So Juvia isn't going to lose!" "Music to my ears!" "I'm gonna get two fairies together!" "That guy's after Gray again?" "!" "Bastard..." "What the hell's with this guy?" "!" "my!" "What on Earthland is this?" "!" "It's started to snow in town!" "huh?" "I miscalculated by not realizing there are some wizards here who can stand the cold." "people shiver and their breath turns white." "though." "Exactly." "I see you!" "Over there!" "That gives Eve three points in a row!" "But Leon loses no time pursuing him!" "but cold doesn't work against me!" "Figures..." "Found you!" "Jawface!" "Just targeting me this whole time...!" "is he?" "He hasn't attacked anyone or been attacked yet." "This competition is too simple." "W-What is this?" "!" "I remember it... the quality of their magic..." "What's he doing way up there?" "!" "It's like he's beggin' to be found!" "Gray!" "Look up!" "I remember..." "I remember it." "Memory Make..." "Memory Make..." "Molding Magic?" "!" "Huh?" "Night of falling stars..." "You stick out like a sore thumb!" "no!" "Just a copy?" "!" "Relax." "You won't lose any points." "That was the memory of me being there." "I don't need a decoy." "E-Everyone else is wiped out!" "he rocketed to first place!" "That is Rufus!" "That's Sabertooth!" "Spectators..." "This competition isn't interesting." "I didn't even need to hide. because they only target the memory of me that stays behind." "W-Who is this guy?" "!" "He's strong... bar none" for nothing..." "That's our Rufus-kun!" "Even though he's not as strong as Sting-kun..." "Yay!" "Molding Magic!" "I've heard rumors about him..." "I see." "He really is somebody to be reckoned with." "Think this is all one big joke?" "!" "Obey the rules of "Hidden"!" "Again?" "!" "That guy..." "Instead of going for the opponent who's right in front of him it seems he's only targeting us." "Time's up!" "Here are the rankings!" "What are you doing?" "!" "calm down!" "I guess you could say." "Yeah..." "Ugh." "This isn't good." "Beth did her best!" "Sabertooth took first place." "It was brilliant! but their results were unfortunate." "I expect better from them next time." "I knew Fairy Tail was gonna suck!" "Always in last place!" "Your day is over!" "asshole?" "!" "He blew his stack!" "Howl all you want!" "Enough." "let 'em." "Sorry." "It's fine!" "We're just getting started..." "Raven Tail..." "Molding Magic wizard..." "I swear I'll get you both back!" "And now we continue to the battle part." "A member from each team will fight in a single match." "This isn't a tournament." "right?" "I just hope the match-ups are interesting." "I've just received the list of matches!" "The first match of day one!" "Lucy Heartfilia!" "Me?" "!" "Versus Flare Corona from Raven Tail!" "Blondie... do your best!" "you know?" "Is she muttering to herself?" "What's she saying?" "Blondie..." "Blondie..." "Wandy?" "No! "Blondie..."!" "B-Blonde... ee..." "Blonde undies?" "Where'd you get that from?" "!" "Next time:" "Lucy Versus Flare!" "She might actually be saying "blonde undies"." "Blonde undies... that's not it." "Raven Tail..." "Molding Magic wizard..." "I swear I'll get you both back!" "This is the first day of the Grand Magic Games. and zero points for coming in last place!" "you know? so they couldn't do proper battle." "The second half of today's Games is the battle part." "it's a one-on-one showdown." "you get ten points for winning and zero points if you lose." "each side gets five points." "we can still make it to the top!" "The Games have just begun!" "Fairy Tail!" "Lucy Versus Flare!" "Did you watch the competition part?" "on Lacrima Vision." "The battle part is about to begin..." "I'll observe that directly with my own eyes." "It looks like I can expect an unusual harvest this year." "The first match of the first day!" "Lucy Heartfilia!" "Versus Flare Corona from Raven Tail!" "Blondie..." "Lucy!" "Show her the results of your training!" "we can still go on!" "Kick her ass!" "Raven Tail..." "They said they hurt Wendy "by way of greeting"?" "!" "they prioritized interfering with Gray over winning!" "I'm angry..." "Count on me." "I swear I'll win!" "I like that look." "Lucy's really fired up..." "It's because her opponent's from Ivan's stupid guild!" "Tear her to pieces!" "First Master?" "I'm wondering what Raven Tail's after..." "It's gotta be making us look like imbeciles!" "They really know how to get under a guy's skin!" "I hope that's all it is..." "Yajima-san! it doesn't matter if they're parent and child." "It's so dramatic!" "I'm getting the chills!" "come forward! only you two will be in here." "Your time limit is 30 minutes." "B-Blondie..." "I'm not gonna lose!" "you win." "let the first match begin!" "Here I go!" "I open thee!" "Taurus!" "Mooore power!" "my!" "Celestial Spirit Magic!" "And it's one of the 12 Zodiac Gates!" "I open thee!" "Scorpio!" "We are!" "Here I go!" "Two Celestial Spirits at the same time?" "!" "Wow!" "Since when has she been able to have two gates open simultaneously?" "!" "Cool!" "Sand Buster!" "Her hair got longer?" "!" "She's guarding with it?" "!" "Taurus!" "Use Scorpio's sand!" "Moo!" "Perfect!" "Absorb!" "Taurus!" "We!" "Sandstorm Axe!" "Aldebaran!" "The sand's in my eyes!" "This is incredible! too?" "! you can't even compare her with what she was like seven years ago!" "both of you!" "We are!" "Blondie!" "Wolf Fang!" "Her hair's turned into a wolf!" "Her hair?" "!" "Her hair!" "That bountiful hair!" "That long hair!" "Keep quiet." "I open thee!" "Cancer!" "My hair..." "Cancer!" "leave it to me-ebi!" "You!" "Lucy!" "Take that!" "My red hair does exactly what I want it to... my Fleuve d'Etoile also does what I want it to!" "What?" "!" "my!" "It's only the first match and it's a battle where the fighters barely have time to breathe!" "A showdown between father and son guilds!" "A battle between two women!" "And neither of them is backing down!" "Although it looks like Fairy Tail is a little more dominant." "Lu-chan!" "What the...?" "!" "look at Lucy's legs!" "It's hot... huh?" "My red hair hurt your legs." "That red hair..." "It must've been burning through when it had a hold on her!" "Lucy!" "Stand up!" "Dang it!" "I really liked these boots!" "My burning hair..." "My red hair..." "That's all the damage it did?" "!" "Blondie..." "I'd say she's off to a good start..." "Yeah." "She's doing great." "Very impressive." "You wouldn't think there was a seven-year period of nothing when she was sealed away on Tenroujima. but it's clear that the magic power she had seven years ago is nothing compared to what she has now. all of their magic power has increased even more since the Zentopia affair." "But the red-haired girl is no slouch either." "I wonder how she'll attack next..." "W-What?" "!" "You're aiming for my legs again?" "!" "Now she's barefoot." "there will be damage." "Lucy!" "Strange..." "I'm not sensing anything..." "Where will she attack from?" "!" "What's she doin'?" "!" "Go on!" "Keep attacking her!" "Take that Raven witch down a peg!" "Calm down!" "Asuka-chan!" "Get a hold of yourself!" "Stand up dance!" "I guess her legs were injured more than we thought?" "Don't say anything." "That's an order. right?" "Even a blond bimbo like you can understand." "That's low... you've been watching the game from up here?" "She's ripening..." "Matured fruit is ripening." "It may be accomplished this year." "Just you wait Lord Zeref." "Master?" "Maybe just my imagination?" "I felt something odd..." "Blame it on your age." "easy... you!" "Old mustache man!" "No one notices." "There's no way they will notice." "I could take down that brat in an instant..." "What kind of a monster is she?" "!" "The breathtaking battle part continues!" "It's Lucy Heartfilia versus Flare Corona! correct?" "They were popular." "They were top class when it came to raw power." "we had a heck of a time with all the problems they caused." "I bet a lot of people here don't know what they were like back then." "How dirty can you get?" "!" "Don't say anything." "Don't move." "Don't use any magic." "right?" "Blondie!" "Did keeping two gates open at the same time backfire on her?" "Is her magic cupboard bare?" "She's not naked!" "That's not what she means." "Lucy!" "What's wrong?" "!" "They were neck and neck just before!" "what about your Celestial Spirits?" "!" "I can't watch!" "She's getting beaten to a pulp!" "Endurance Dance!" "Is she conserving magic?" "but at this rate..." "What happened?" "!" "She's suddenly stopped moving' around!" "Blondie!" "What in the world is going on?" "!" "What was a fierce battle just moments ago has turned into a one-sided beat down!" "Hang in there!" "Take that!" "And that!" "Everyone..." "Wendy..." "Gray..." "I'm sorry..." "I give up..." "Lu-chan!" "Maybe she's so hungry she can't move... right! Blondie?" "!" "I'm not gonna let you surrender." "I'm just getting started here playing with you." "Understand?" "Don't say a word." "However I will allow screaming!" "Now let's see..." "What shall I do to you first?" "Maybe I'll tear off your clothes in front of all these people... but I've just thought of an even better idea!" "I'll brand the insignia of Raven Tail onto your body!" "A brand that'll never fade away!" "Where would you like me to put it?" "I see!" "huh?" "Please!" "Anything but that!" "I told you not to talk!" "Don't!" "Anywhere but there!" "Lucy's actin' kinda weird!" "Where's Natsu?" "!" "He was here a minute ago..." "I've got good ears!" "I know what I heard!" "huh?" "!" "Natsu!" "What's that doing here?" "!" "What?" "!" "Lucy!" "Now!" "Natsu!" "Gemini!" "Take this!" "Do that thing!" "We haven't practiced enough!" "We don't know if we can do it or not!" "turn into me!" "Roger!" "What are you dressed like that for?" "!" "It's not our fault!" "This is what you had on when we copied you!" "right after I got out of the tub..." "Don't look!" "Blondie!" "Wouldn't that Gemini be a powerhouse if it turned into Erza or Laxus?" "It can't." "Lu-chan." "I get it." "So it'd be impossible to copy Master or the first master... right?" "Stow it!" "How different are you?" "!" "well!" "This is a nice happening!" "She does have curves in all the right places..." "All the right places... what's she planning to do with two of herself?" "!" "B-Bath towel!" "Don't share what's on your mind right now!" "E-Excited Dance!" "That's annoying!" "Quit your dancing!" "cheer Lucy on properly!" "There are now two Lucy Heartfilias!" "And one of them is only wearing a bath towel!" "of the Twelve Zodiac Celestial Spirits." "open the heavens... show yourselves to me with all your brilliance!" "That magic..." "I don't believe it..." "I see..." "She made two of herself to increase her magic power." "Amazing..." "So she learned the ultimate magic of the stars! even with two of me..." "I am the ruler of the stars." "My aspect is perfection." "...but I'll show you!" "W-What is this?" "!" "Open thy savage gate!" "This is Fairy Tail!" "This is one stroke that the pride of the guild is riding on!" "88 stars of the heavens..." "Open!" "The sky filled with stars?" "!" "What is this?" "!" "Urano Metria!" "What the...?" "What went wrong?" "W-What?" "What's going on?" "too." "It all disappeared...?" "Obra!" "wasn't it?" "!" "I don't believe it..." "Why...?" "What happened?" "!" "Her magic disappeared?" "! but her magic failed?" "!" "what do you think?" "Y-Yajima-san!" "my!" "Lucy is down for the count!" "The match is over!" "The winner is Raven Tail's Flare Corona!" "There's something fishy about this!" "I didn't see that redhead do anything to make the magic disappear..." "She had help from outside the ring." "Those jerks cheat!" "Ivan!" "Are you lookin' for a match outside the arena?" "!" "I win." "Blondie!" "You're pathetic!" "And ugly!" "And a loser!" "a magic misfire?" "!" "Lame!" "So now Raven Tail has 18 points." "Fairy Tail... still has zero points!" "Terrible." "it's not a breach of the rules." "Nothing could be more cowardly than what they did!" "I feel kind of sorry for her..." "But they only won by using that kind of foul play as back-up." "Still..." "It was a good magic battle!" "Lucy." "after all it's just so frustrating!" "Let's save the tears for when we win." "You were great." "I realized we can fight in this world." "don't ya think?" "We're gonna turn it around from this point on." "Yeah!" "I'm fired up!" "huh?" "Now we have to cheer on B team." "I hear Jellal's gonna participate for B team next time!" "so I'm lookin' forward to it!" "you gotta call him "Mystogan"!" "right?" "we'll be disqualified!" "he's an escaped convict!" "Next time:" "Bad Omen!" "huh?" "That's Jura!" "didn't you?" "!" "How's Lucy?" "I think she's okay." "She said she wants to take a shower." "So you want me to check on her one more time?" "Y-You can't!" "Not now..." "Why not?" "Forget it." "The second match is starting." "ya know?" "It's the first day of the Grand Magic Games. featuring Ren Akatsuki of Blue Pegasus versus" "Arania Webb of Mermaid Heel!" "Bad Omen!" "Arania." "Ren-chan?" "It seems like both opponents are standing their ground!" "It should be a good match!" "good luck!" "Sherry is cheering you on from the stands!" "Ren-chan!" "what are you doing?" "!" "Do your best!" "Sherry!" "You don't root for members of an enemy team!" "Obaba." "They are engaged..." "Shut up." "Spin." "I'm spinning!" "W-Who says we're engaged?" "!" "We just happen to be stuck with each other is all!" "That's terrible!" "It's annoying the way you're always by my side but..." "I can't get into it." "You're into it!" "Ren..." "Sherry sure fell in love with a pain in the ass." "But that's love..." "The one thing I can't do is look lame in front of you!" "Aerial Phose!" "He won!" "The winner..." "Ren Akatsuki of Blue Pegasus!" "Blue Pegasus has 14 points for the first day!" "Mermaid Heel has three points!" "Shoot..." "I let down my guard..." "That's our Ren-kun!" "he's improved compared to seven years ago." "too?" "!" "what are you talking about?" "Ichiya has always been a man to reckon with. but there's no denying that he's Blue Pegasus's strongest wizard." "I didn't know... huh?" "I suddenly wanna fight him!" "But what bothers me is that person in the bunny costume." "So it is alright to be bugged by that..." "Good!" "I thought maybe we weren't supposed to mention it." "the third match of day one!" "War Cry of Quatro Cerberus versus Orga Nanagear of Team Sabertooth!" "There he is!" "It's Orga!" "Kick his ass!" "Listen to those cheers!" "The crowd loves him!" "War Cry!" "Your soul is always wild!" "It's War Cry." "You gotta see this." "I like that guy's magic." "it is amusing." "I remember it." "Not interested." "I'm only interested... in you Gajeel." "We finally get to see a Sabertooth battle." "I wonder if he's as strong as that masked ball guy..." "Lecter?" "of course!" "of course... but everyone in Sabertooth is strong!" "if you don't even know that." "too." "Let the third match begin!" "There it is!" "War Cry's Tear Magic!" "isn't it?" "He's crying!" "Tear Magic?" "What kind of magic is that?" "!" "The more I cry the stronger I get!" "Lightning..." "L-Lightning?" "!" "One... attack... in a flash!" "Orga's Black Lightning fried the tears instantaneously!" "What was that?" "!" "Instantaneously?" "!" "H-He's a monster!" "really strong!" "The winner is Orga Nanagear of Sabertooth!" "That brings their total to 20 points!" "A perfect first day!" "Quatro Cerberus has two points!" "Too bad!" "Orga?" "!" "I'll sing a song." "That's not what I meant!" "Mic!" "my!" "What does Orga Nanagear want to say?" "!" "number one!" "Sabertooth!" "number one!" "Sabertooth!" "number one!" "They really do have raw power... and popularity..." "Sabertooth!" "huh?" "but those guys are impressive." "it's time for the final match of the first day." "right? so this should be an interesting match!" "I'll announce the first day's final fight match-up!" "It's Mystogan of Fairy Tail B versus" "Jura Neekis of Lamia Scale!" "There he is!" "Jura!" "I've been waiting to see Jura!" "I never thought he'd participate from the first day!" "Jellal all of a sudden?" "!" "And his opponent is Jura!" "those who know his true face are few..." "Mystogan!" "Who the heck is that?" "!" "That's a laugh!" "Jura-san!" "This match is as good as over." "It hasn't even started yet!" "I know that." "Stifle yourself." "It's Jura!" "Jura's here!" "It's the real thing!" "That Jura person sure is popular." "sure." "He's one of the Ten Great Wizard Saints." "The same as our master..." "This is unlucky." "Going up against Jura..." "Is that cueball really that strong?" "I don't even know if Erza and I could beat him working together..." "Leave it to me. but our Obaba is really strict about that... but I'm not going to hold back here." "Neither am I. but being able to fight on behalf of Fairy Tail..." "Nothing could make me happier." "First Master." "It'll be fine." "That man was once a Wizard Saint himself." "you could say their talents are equal." "First Master?" "I-I want to go to the ladies' room..." "Even though you're a ghost?" "!" "Jellal..." "Will you be okay?" "!" "Wha...?" "!" "Jellal's going to fight?" "!" "will it?" "I pray he doesn't make a mess of it..." "I hope he doesn't try to impress Erza." "Jura Neekis of Lamia Scale versus" "Mystogan of Fairy Tail B!" "Let the final match of the day begin!" "What I can do for Fairy Tail is beat you!" "Wow!" "Five Layered Magic Circle..." "Sacred Song!" "So he's copying Mystogan's magic..." "Clever..." "Jura-san!" "There's no need to worry." "I believe Jura-san is Fiore's number one wizard." "Three Layered Magic Circle..." "Mirror Water!" "It ricocheted!" "Awesome!" "It turned again!" "That's some kind of strong!" "He isn't called one of the Ten Great Wizard Saints for nothing!" "Jura!" "Hurry up and finish him off!" "Send him spinning!" "You're spinning me!" "he's not an opponent I can beat with borrowed magic." "Meteor!" "This guy..." "He's fast!" "Iron Rock Wall!" "There!" "I made it!" "Magic Circles in the sky!" "When did he...?" "!" "He must have drawn them while defending from the attack." "Be judged by the seven stars!" "Grand Chariot!" "Rock Mountain!" "I see..." "I know who you are." "So Makarov-dono wasn't being entirely candid with me." "Makarov-dono..." "A gathering of the Ten Great Wizard Saints is coming soon..." "I'd like you to tell me about a certain guild. but I never imagined you would pose as a member of Fairy Tail." "My vigilance was for naught." "I have to win for Fairy Tail." "Ultear." "I'm going to use that!" "Wha...?" "!" "Jellal!" "your cover will be blown!" "True Heavenly Body Magic..." "Cerma!" "What is this?" "!" "What the hell is he thinking?" "!" "This is what's wrong with men!" "Their pride gets the better of them!" "Ul?" "!" "The inside of my mouth..." "Spicy!" "Eat more red pepper!" "come on..." "It's spicy!" "What on Earthland is happening?" "!" "Mystogan is in agony!" "How about this?" "!" "Ul!" "he's started laughing!" "I've got more..." "We can do this..." "And this!" "I can't take any more!" "Stop it!" "He's down!" "but Mystogan is down!" "Sorry about that..." "We can't afford to let Jellal stand out too much." "The winner is Jura Neekis of Lamia Scale!" "Jura!" "Are we sure about this?" "the first day of the Grand Magic Games comes to a close!" "Here's the overall ranking!" "A team has zero points and B team has one point?" "!" "That's awful..." "We shouldn't have participated in this thing after all..." "Yajima-san?" "It's no surprise that Sabertooth is number one. is in 7th and 8th place." "It's still just the first day." "I'm hoping for a comeback drama from tomorrow on." "And my guild still has a shot at victory." "I can't wait for day two!" "thank you very much for your commentary today." "Thank you." "See you all again!" "What was that?" "!" "in charge of Fairy Tail's gags?" "!" "That was hilarious!" "well..." "What just happened there?" "!" "most likely." "What the hell were you doing?" "!" "Good try." "Lame..." "I can't even find the words to respond." "Lucy!" "Are you alright?" "Yeah." "I'm fine now." "Last place..." "It was the end of the first day of the Grand Magic Games." "made a terrible showing but little did we know that even more terrible events were already in motion." "She's ripening..." "Several days after the end of the Grand Magic Games I wrote this down." "Lucy Heartfilia." "From Levy McGarden." "W-What was that?" "!" "A prophecy?" "!" "Lucy!" "I'll be in it tomorrow!" "And I swear I'll turn things around for us!" "we're in last place!" "We have zero points!" "Shut up!" "We'll turn the tables on 'em starting now!" "Especially with me participatin' in the next competition!" "huh?" "I wonder what kind of competition that'll be..." "I'm gonna win it!" "too!" "That doesn't matter!" "I'm gonna win!" "Natsu!" "Next time:" "Chariot!" "right?" "A vehicle..." "I've got a bad feeling about this..." "Alright!" "See ya from the winner's circle! Pathetic!" "Fairy Tail used to be on top!" "What the hell happened?" "!" "Every last one of them..." "Big words from somebody who was too busy pubhopping to cheer her teammates on." "I was watching you!" "Even all the pubs have Lacrima Vision." "let's raise a mug to our crushing defeat!" "Master!" "What a disaster of a day..." "I know..." "We'd all better get our act together from tomorrow." "I'm up tomorrow!" "you'll see!" "Natsu!" "too..." "I'd say it's high time you showed 'em the results of your training." "Huh?" "Lu-chan and Gray aren't here?" "I haven't seen 'em... the way they lost..." "They probably don't wanna be seen right now." "I don't know about that." "Both of them were cool in my eyes." "Gray-sama..." "Are you still depressed?" "I could say the same thing to you." "I hear everybody's gathered at a nearby pub." "but I'm gonna at least pop in..." "Don't leave me alone..." "Lucy..." "You... the truth is I..." "Don't!" "I've got Juvia..." "Gray!" "What'll I do if that happens?" "!" "It's not happening... you've got a fertile imagination." "it was long!" "are you okay?" "this has pumped me up even more!" "Where are Wendy and Carla?" "Looks like they're still under the weather..." "Poluchka-san is with them." "yeah?" "brats!" "Today's defeat is the seed for tomorrow's victory!" "Let's rise up!" "'Cause we don't know the meaning of the words "give up"!" "Aim for number one in Fiore!" "Yeah!" "Is that really the guild that was shut out today?" "You tell me..." "Chariot!" "Your Majesty..." "The first day of the Grand Magic Games has come to a successful end." "there were some fine magic battles." "I have come to ask if you have any requests for the second day's battle part." "Let's see..." "I'd like to see Bacchus." "Would you slot him in?" "Against which team?" "um..." "The shapeshifter." "I can't remember his name." "L" something..." "Certainly." "I'll arrange it." "I'm sure it'll make a rousing match." "then I shall take my leave..." "Captain of the Guard." "Have a good rest." "Your Majesty." "Now when it's so close to completion..." "Who's next?" "!" "let's cheer up with a little throwdown!" "Natsu!" "Max!" "How'd he get this strong in just three months?" "!" "Where does that leave us?" "Looks like fun." "I'll take you up on that." "Don't." "it's not gonna be a game." "Laxus!" "Gajeel!" "B-Bastard!" "How dare you do that to Laxus?" "!" "our pride is being trampled!" "assemble!" "I can't..." "Pathetic... doll?" "Why don't we see who's stronger? but you're challenging me to a drinking match?" "but don't do it!" "that woman's a monster!" "I don't believe it!" "Is this for real?" "!" "Someone drank Cana under the table?" "!" "This is the first time I've seen Cana flat on the floor like that!" "I'm takin' this as a trophy." "What the hell are you doin'?" "!" "Gildarts will murder you!" "Give it back!" "You mess with our guild..." "What is that guy?" "!" "Dad!" "Bacchus?" "Yo!" "If it ain't Erza!" "You reek." "You're a fine babe as always." "It's been a long time." "You know him?" "!" "I hear you were gone for seven years?" "True enough..." "It seems you're not participating in the Grand Magic Games... my man's soul couldn't stay silent!" "I joined the team." "My soul is trembling with excitement." "I'd like to settle things from that one time." "My soul is always Wild Four..." "Erza!" "What's his deal?" "!" "He's an S Class wizard from Quatro Cerberus." "We used to run into each other a lot while out on jobs." "I know his strength very well." "The Drunk Falcon..." "Drunken Bursting Palm Bacchus." "but never to a decisive conclusion." "Erza?" "!" "that was a long time ago!" "There's no way he could beat Erza now!" "You don't even know that Erza's gonna fight!" "too..." "What did you see?" "but I saw..." "A white knight..." "A giant magic circle..." "Anything else?" "A sight that I couldn't believe..." "What was it?" "Mercurius collapsing while someone was singing inside..." "It was Lucy... the second day of the Grand Magic Games has begun!" "Jason-san!" "Cool!" "the competition part has already begun!" "And its name is..." "Chariot! with the idea being to reach the goal without falling off! just one moment of carelessness could lead to a misstep! but which team will arrive here at Domus Flau?" "!" "you can watch the race here on Lacrima Vision!" "Cool! who could have predicted this turn of events?" "!" "Why did Natsu sign up for this?" "!" "Chariot"!" "he doesn't listen." "He probably thought he'd be fighting the chariots themselves... my!" "Way in the rear is a groggy-looking Natsu from Fairy Tail A!" "This isn't gonna work..." "And that's not all!" "Right in front of him is Gajeel from Fairy Tail B all moving like molasses!" "W-What's wrong with me?" "!" "Yajima-san?" "I suppose the three of them have something in common." "Motion sickness..." "That's the Salamander's thing..." "What's going on?" "!" "Why is Gajeel like that?" "!" "Don't swipe Natsu's character!" "too..." "This doesn't look good..." "I never thought the invincible Sting-kun's one weakness would be revealed... too!" "let's check in with the leaders of the pack!" "It's a fierce dead heat at the front!" "In the lead is Blacksnake of Raven Tail! followed by Yuuka of Lamia Scale and Risley of Mermaid Heel!" "Men!" "I'm surprised you can keep up with that body type!" "Never underestimate a chubby girl!" "Some distance behind them is Bacchus from the reserve squad of Quatro Cerberus!" "I'm pooped..." "Haven't thrown off the effects of last night's booze yet..." "Wave Boost!" "You can't use magic while you're in my shockwave!" "Never underestimate a chubby girl!" "There it is!" "Risley's gravity-altering!" "She avoided the surge by running on the side of the vehicle!" "A magic-negating wave..." "In that case..." "Fleet-footed parfum!" "Zero distance inhalation!" "Everybody's trying their best..." "My soul is quivering... too!" "W-What's this?" "!" "Bacchus used his power to destroy the vehicles!" "He's more powerful than he was seven years ago..." "What's with this guy?" "!" "you're out!" "What is that?" "!" "That's playing dirty..." "He's underestimating a chubby girl..." "You're not chubby!" "Gravity altering is cool!" "he crossed the goal line first!" "It's quivering!" "Quatro Cerberus wins 10 points!" "Cerberus had a man like this...?" "!" "Wild Four!" "Blacksnake of Raven Tail!" "Ichiya!" "battling it out at the bottom ranks!" "I-I don't believe this..." "I never had any problem with transportation before..." "Well I've finally gotten used to it." "Congratulations to the real Dragon Slayer..." "Newbie... you...!" "Can't muster any power..." "Natsu!" "Gajeel!" "Is this what he meant by making it fun?" "Rogue?" "Dragon Slayers get motion sick on vehicles it seems..." "I thought it was just Sting and me... too...?" "Don't tell anybody." "I think it's obvious by this point." "Move forward!" "Lame..." "You're totally serious even though you can't draw on any power..." "Go ahead." "I'll give this match to you." "we're gonna keep winning anyway." "We're not gonna miss one or two points." "kid!" "Would you answer me one thing?" "Why did you decide to participate in the tournament?" "I wouldn't believe you were the same Fairy Tail from back in the day." "Are you worried about the strength of your guild?" "About your public image?" "The Fairy Tail that I know were more like..." "They did everything at their own pace..." "They didn't give a damn about what people thought of them." "For... their friends..." "Seven years..." "All that time they were waitin' for us..." "No matter how painful it was..." "No matter how sad..." "Even if people made fun of 'em they held on..." "They held on..." "They protected the guild for their friends..." "And now we're gonna show everyone the proof that Fairy Tail's been walking on all this time!" "So keep on goin'!" "Natsu..." "Goal!" "2 points for being in sixth place!" "I got our first points!" "1 point for seventh place!" "I'll give 'em that!" "Yeah." "Wow..." "Who are those guys?" "!" "huh?" "I kinda liked that..." "I'm a little touched..." "I think I might cheer them on..." "Fairy Tail!" "I'm gonna be rooting for you guys from now on!" "And Sabertooth's Sting gets 0 points for dropping out!" "For their friends?" "What nonsense... now Raven Tail is in first place!" "Cool!" "Sabertooth has dropped to second place!" "Sabertooth is in second?" "!" "I think it's Sting's fault..." "Is Natsu okay?" "There's nothing to worry about with him." "He just has motion sickness." "What about Wendy?" "She's recovered a lot." "Carla?" "Yes... thank goodness for that!" "so I'll be going." "You don't intend to say anything?" "What good would telling her about that future do?" "There's no way she would believe me. certainly other people wouldn't believe it." "That's right!" "I don't believe that stuff!" "It was just a dream!" "It was a dream..." "Not a premonition!" "on to the much-anticipated battle part! versus Lamia Scale's Toby Horhorta!" "It's a confrontation between snake and dog!" "Which will win?" "!" "I hope we see a fair fight." "Toby is way dog!" "Cool!" "Has the match started?" "!" "It's just about to." "Looks like Leon and that dog-like guy are gonna be in it." "His opponent is from Raven." "Raven?" "B-Blondie..." "She's covered in bruises!" "Flare..." "Don't you ever disgrace us like that again." "Who do you think you owe your victory to?" "But Blondie was glaring at me..." "Would you like to be struck again?" "I-I'm sorry." "Please forgive me..." "Super Paralysis Claw Mega Mega Jellyfish!" "He disappeared!" "Fool!" "It's Mimic Magic!" "Sand Rebellion!" "That's my magic!" "So he can mimic the properties of anyone's magic!" "Mimic..." "That's unusual magic." "dog-like person!" "Bust up Ivan's guild dog-like person!" "You're strong." "too." "Blacksnake's a cool name!" "It's not my real name..." "It's not your real name?" "!" "That ticks you off?" "you're tellin' me your real name!" "but what if I win?" "I'll tell you a secret about myself!" "That sounds interesting." "they've made a weird bet." "though..." "Cool!" "A bet?" "I like the sound of that... you!" "C'mere!" "Fangface!" "Damn you!" "C'mere!" "A Man!" "It's Elfman's turn!" "huh?" "That's the guy who's as strong as Erza!" "too..." "Dammit!" "But Elfman's a man who gets serious when he gets down to it!" "too!" "Happy..." "Are you imitating the way that dog-guy talks?" "Next time:" "Elfman vs. Bacchus!" "I forgot my pride as a cat and imitated a dog!" "What is your pride as a cat? Is Natsu okay?" "There's nothing to worry about with him." "He just has motion sickness." "What about Wendy?" "She's recovered a lot." "Carla?" "Yes... thank goodness for that!" "so I'll be going." "You don't intend to say anything?" "What good would telling her about that future do?" "There's no way she would believe me." "Mercurius collapsing while someone was singing inside..." "It was Lucy..." "The Grand Magic Games are held once a year. qualifying them for the actual Games." "The Grand Magic Games began. gaining zero points." "don't ya think?" "We're gonna turn it around from this point on." "Yeah!" "I'm fired up! finally got two points." "Then the battle part began." "Super Paralysis Claw Mega Mega Jellyfish!" "He disappeared!" "Sand Rebellion!" "You're strong." "too." "Blacksnake's a cool name!" "It's not my real name..." "It's not your real name?" "!" "That ticks you off?" "you're tellin' me your real name!" "but what if I win?" "I'll tell you a secret about myself!" "That sounds interesting." "they've made a weird bet." "though..." "Cool!" "A bet?" "I like the sound of that... you!" "C'mere!" "Fangface!" "Toby's down!" "And he's not getting back up!" "The match is over!" "The winner is Blacksnake of Raven Tail!" "He's strong..." "Yeah." "And I don't think he was really trying hard." "they've got strong people on their team." "This brings Raven Tail up to 36 points." "And Lamia Scale has 20 points." "Cool!" "what's your secret?" "My socks..." "I can't find one of them... I can't find it for some reason..." "I..." "I couldn't bring myself to tell anyone..." "It was right here all this time?" "!" "You're a nice guy." "I found it at last!" "what do you think...?" "No comment." "Cool!" "Cool!" "dog-like guy!" "I'm a little touched by this!" "Um..." "Spin!" "my!" "The two congratulate each other on a good fight and shake hands... they don't!" "That was cruel!" "Too cruel!" "It's my nature to want to destroy something precious." "You won't get away with this!" "I'll spin you!" "Me again?" "!" "What's his deal?" "!" "There's a man with a sick sense of humor!" "That's the true nature of Raven Tail." "Nasty..." "I don't even know what Ivan's thinkin'... plain and simple!" "let's get back on track with today's second match!" "Bacchus!" "Versus an opponent from Fairy Tail A..." "Us?" "What do we do if they announce Natsu?" "!" "I'll slap him awake." "Erza?" "There he is!" "but somebody avenge me!" "Cana... he'll win with ease." "You did set it up as I asked?" "Your Highness." "I can't wait!" "Bacchus versus Erza!" "This is definitely going to be one great match!" "D-Did you just say "Erza"?" "I-I paired him up against..." "Elfman!" "What?" "!" "Elfman?" "!" "Elf-nii-chan?" "!" "It's over!" "That's a terrible thing to say!" "Make us proud!" "The only thing we can do now is win!" "Y-Yeah..." "Elfman vs. Bacchus!" "I wanted to see Bacchus versus Erza!" "I apologize." "um..." "The one that transforms..." "I can't remember the name." "It starts with "E"..." "I made a mistake..." "This won't be any kind of fight!" "Bacchus will annihilate him!" "P-Probably..." "Fairy Tail!" "But if his opponent is Bacchus... how about you and me make a bet like those last guys did?" "Both of your sisters are delightful dishes..." "What do you wanna say?" "It's an old story." "they're mine." "at the same time..." "Bastard..." "Two at the same time..." "That's a warped form of love!" "You're disgusting!" "If you win..." "Let's see..." "Man..." "There are some things a Man can't let pass..." "Hound dog..." "I'm gonna tear you apart!" "Then we have a deal?" "My soul is quivering." "That was a great sleep!" "Wendy..." "Carla..." "Granny?" "Where'd everyone go?" "A stranger's scent lingering in the room..." "This way!" "There!" "Fairy Tail?" "!" "You found us already?" "!" "this is the one that was sleeping!" "Scum!" "Where the hell are you takin' Wendy and the others?" "!" "no!" "Hurry!" "Hold it!" "He's hella fast!" "Ain't that the one who staggered to the finish line in the last competition?" "!" "Leave him to me!" "This is the best way to deal with wizards!" "Move!" "Jackasses!" "Give me back Wendy and the others!" "What is he?" "!" "That crazy bastard is scary!" "And he'll catch up to us at this rate!" "What do we do?" "!" "No other choice!" "We dump these two!" "D-Don't be an idiot!" "The order was to get the girl in the infirmary!" "An old bag and some cat aren't girls!" "Then why'd we bring them?" "!" "when you look at this old woman from a certain angle..." "She's no girl!" "Who gave you the order?" "!" "We're done for!" "Oh my!" "This is unquestionably a one-sided match!" "Elfman can't land a blow!" "Beautiful sisters all to myself..." "Nice... is that...?" "Erza." "what's really hard to deal with is coming up." "Elf-nii-chan... right?" "Yeah." "That's true..." "Elfman!" "Beast Soul:" "Weretiger!" "A lightning-quick Take Over!" "If his attacks hit now..." "Wild Four! Elfman's attacks aren't landing at all!" "Maybe it's because of that guy's weird movements..." "His magic is actually pretty orthodox." "It's a type where magic converges in the palms of his hands." "But the secret of his strength is mastery of a martial art that allows him to maximize that magic." "The style of martial art is called Cleaving Hook Palm and that characteristic stance is used to deliver skillful palm strikes." "Palm strikes..." "What was even more fearsome devising Drunken Cleaving Hook Palm." "Drunken..." "You mean he's drunk?" "That's right." "It's impossible to predict the attacks of a drunken hawk." "making him a shoo-in to win." "that's not the problem." "He hasn't had even one drop of booze yet." "Cleaving Hook Palm..." "That's an unusual style of martial art." "I've never seen it myself." "Cool!" "is that..." "The move we saw at the tavern incident." "Dammit." "Isn't there anything he can do?" "He'll figure out a way." "He's more than just a big lug." "That's right." "We've got to believe in him!" "Wild Four!" "Elfman!" "The movements of drunken Bacchus are as powerful as they are unpredictable." "Huh?" "right?" "Then..." "He isn't trying hard at all." "my!" "Elfman's Take Over has come undone! but it also goes to show how powerful that attack was." "Cleaving Hook Palm is cool!" "aren't you?" "right?" "Can't Elfman rise again?" "!" "I forgot one important thing. too." "cool!" "The day off?" "!" "Why?" "All he needs to take a break is change his innards." "You shouldn't say "innards"!" "So you are standing up?" "I guess all that repetition of the word "man" wasn't for nothing." "hound dog." "The bet..." "What happens if I win... whatever you want." "the name of your guild is "Quatro Puppy" for the duration of the Games." "Puppy"?" "As in little dog?" "Four Puppies"?" "Elfman!" "okay." "That does it." "Bottom's up..." "I think I'll wind this up." "He drank booze!" "It's coming..." "Elfman!" "Now he's serious!" "Uh-oh!" "Bacchus has hit the bottle at last!" "Drunken Cleaving Hook Palm..." "This is the first time I've seen it before my very eyes!" "Cool!" "Come and get me." "You should easily be able to beat a drunk like me." "Beast Soul..." "It's no use!" "Elfman!" "That's Drunken Cleaving Hook Palm!" "I-I don't know what happened because I couldn't see it!" "Seven blows in that one instant!" "I-Incredible... didn't it?" "Yes." "But..." "How was that?" "What the hell is this?" "!" "My hands..." "Uh-oh!" "What's this?" "!" "Damage to Bacchus!" "What is that?" "Lizardman... then you can hit me!" "I didn't know about that..." "Don't tell me this is his..." "I think the other guy's in big trouble." "What does he mean to do?" "Don't take your eyes off of them." "Watch his battle to the end." "Come on!" "Your hands or my body..." "This is a fight to see which will break!" "Wild..." "That's some strategy." "It's crazy. but this particular opponent can shatter Lizardman's tough scales." "What's wrong?" "!" "You're an interesting guy!" "My soul is quivering!" "Man!" "I-It's a frenzy!" "More of a clash of wills than a battle!" "Will the attacker give out?" "!" "Or the receiver buckle?" "!" "Just who will win this fight?" "!" "Your name... is Elfman?" "Wild Four!" "No..." "Bacchus is the one who got back up!" "You know... you're a man." "D...?" "Down!" "Bacchus is down!" "The winner is Elfman!" "Fairy Tail A gets 10 points!" "This gives them a total of 12 points!" "P..." "Puppy?" "!" "Does this battle roar portend Fairy Tail's comeback?" "!" "Elfman pulls off a spectacular victory over a formidable enemy!" "Listen to that cheering!" "Elfman-san did it!" "are you okay now?" "Yeah!" "I feel fine." "Grandine!" "I told you not to call me that!" "those scoundrels from before..." "We just took the job!" "F-From somebody in Raven Tail!" "We were told to get the girl who was in the infirmary." "Good work." "We'll take care of them." "Raven Tail..." "The girl... who was in the infirmary..." "Past tense?" "There was one there." "Natsu carried her in." "You don't mean..." "Lucy!" "The plan failed." "Fool!" "you had the wrong target." "Didn't I tell you what she looked like?" "I'm sorry." "forget about it." "It just means we'll move to plan B." "Where are the actual perpetrators?" "We arrested them and hauled them off to prison." "Their cover isn't blown?" "sir." "They believe their client is Raven Tail." "We need to keep using the discord between Fairy Tail and Raven Tail like this." "we'll grab a Celestial Spirit Wizard for the Eclipse Project!" "Why the long face?" "Raven Tail..." "All they've been doing is playing dirty tricks..." "Natsu-san..." "Raven's master is Gramps' Laxus's..." "So what does that mean? but this ain't over by a long shot!" "Natsu!" "I hear next time is a pin-up model showdown between Mira and Jenny!" "And you can barge in on it?" "!" "Everyone's wearing a swimsuit!" "A-Although I'm not the least bit interested in girls' swimsuits!" "too!" "She goes along with stuff more than I thought..." "Carla!" "Where is she?" "!" "Next time:" "Mirajane versus Jenny!" "good luck!" "Happy..." "Mira's the one who's fighting." "Elfman. you just may be number one in our guild." "We'll definitely follow the lead of your hard-won victory." "I never thought I'd hear Erza dish out praise like that." "She wouldn't if he hadn't earned it." "Elfman!" "Cut it out." "You guys sound like you're payin' tribute to a dead man." "Ow... stubbornness always has been your saving grace." "That's kind of a sad saving grace..." "You're not too different!" "Elfman-san! Wendy." "Right!" "the next match has already begun." "Get going." "One of the keys to victory is observing the enemy." "Granny." "See ya later." "I'm sorry." "I'd like to stay here with you... remember?" "Cheer her on for me." "Relax." "The Raijinshuu will protect him." "My runes will prevent outsiders from entering." "We won't let this place be attacked again." "Sorry..." "You couldn't come up with a better fighting strategy?" "he's injured and needs his sleep." "How 'bout we have Ever sleep with you?" "Quit screwin' around!" "those Raven Tail jerks play dirty right out in the open..." "I wonder if their intention is to take us out one by one." "I've still got my doubts about what happened." "Carla?" "I already heard the basics..." "We assume Raven Tail used a guild of bandits in an attempt to kidnap Lucy. the scheme failed twice over." "Doesn't that make sense?" "Although we don't know what they were planning to do with her..." "Don't even go there!" "The issue is the method of capture." "One of the members of Raven Tail that attacked us has the power to reduce his opponent's magic power to zero for a moment." "Right..." "Master suspects that he's the one who canceled out Lucy's magic on the first day. so why wasn't he part of the operation? which require all participants to stay close to the arena." "right?" "Carla." "Yeah." "I know very well that results matter much more to them than means. and try not to be alone at any time." "What really bothers me is the question of why they were after Lucy..." "Mirajane versus Jenny!" "It's the third match of the second day of the Grand Magic Games!" "Mirajane Strauss from Fairy Tail B versus" "Blue Pegasus reserve member Jenny Rearlight!" "I'm back." "Welcome back." "How is Elfman doing?" "but no worries." "huh? she was voted the "Number One Wizard I Want to Be My Girlfriend" in Weekly Sorcerer." "I remember reading she really looked up to Mira-nee as a role model and aimed to be like her. so I guess Jenny is the older one now..." "Have you recovered?" "Carla!" "too." "I was told that everyone but the participants have to stay in these seats." "I was so worried about you!" "right?" "There's no sense being hung up on my dream now." "I've got to cheer our guild on!" "Mirajane!" "Do your best!" "Uh..." "What is this?" "!" "They're... calm down." "Like this?" "How's this?" "What the hell's goin' on here?" "!" "Mira-san..." "I guess... since they're both former pinup models an irregular rule turned it into a cheesecake showdown." "you're all totally shocked.}" "Like so?" "Hi..." "They do this kind of thing in the battle part too?" "I imagine this involves a special rule..." "I hope so..." "Who would've figured we'd have to dip into our reserves on the second day..." "Couldn't be helped." "Not with Ichiya-san like that..." "A competition that relied on physical strength must've really been tough on him." "pretty impressive." "It's been a while since I've done this kind of thing." "I didn't think you'd agree to do a pinup idol showdown." "I'm not too fond of slugfests." "right?" "Two former pinup idols!" "making this a dream battle come true! and reporter Jason of the Weekly Sorcerer!" "It's a big responsibility." "Both of them are cool beauties!" "What's the next swimsuit going to be..." "Hold it!" "It won't do to let these little girls get all the attention!" "When it comes to strength as well as beauty Mermaid Heel is number one!" "Why do I have to be out here?" "This is an unforeseen happening!" "Mermaid Heel has crashed the battle!" "And I'm happy to see that Risley is slender for the moment!" "Stop right there!" "You people don't have enough love!" "you're gravely mistaken!" "It's all about love!" "Without love you can't beat us!" "And now Sherry and Cheria from Lamia Scale have joined the party!" "I'm in awe of all of them..." "This is no time to just sit back and be impressed!" "Don't tell me... too?" "!" "But I didn't bring a swimsuit..." "Don't worry!" "I anticipated that so I came prepared with enough swimsuits for everybody!" "First Master!" "Your keen insight dwarfs our imaginations!" "Isn't it more like she just came ready to have a good time?" "You three can't just sit back and watch either!" "Let's all join in!" "Why?" "!" "doing nothing is not an option!" "Swimsuits look best the water-manipulating wizard!" "you're going out there too?" "A woman in love has to battle at a time like this." "I'm sick of hearin' about it..." "I think this has gotten out of hand... it's not so bad as a fun little stunt..." "It's chaos here!" "so we'll go with it!" "Not to mention we'd have a riot on our hands if we put a stop to the fun now!" "This is great!" "So cool!" "It's settled!" "The next Weekly Sorcerer cover story will be a wizard swimsuit competition! this match is just between Mirajane and Jenny!" "there's no point in us being out here!" "the main thing is that we have fun!" "How is it that a ghost like you gets such a kick out of this?" "I bet anything her personality has an effect on the mood of our guild!" "you're here too?" "I won't let your people hog the spotlight." "The next theme is school swimsuits!" "Why are we suddenly in weird fetish swimwear?" "Wendy." "That doesn't make me happy!" "Next up is bikinis and thigh-high socks!" "this feels even more embarrassing than the swimsuit alone..." "Moving on to girls in glasses!" "This isn't any change for me..." "Cat ears!" "Is there any point for me to wear them?" "Bondage!" "This is also a form of love!" "You're too into it!" "Erza?" "Are you about ready to admit defeat?" "Did you say something?" "I lose..." "We're gettin' further and further into fetish territory!" "Yeah..." "I don't mind..." "The next theme is "wedding dress"!" "then get into bridal gear!" "Master." "This is all part of the job of being master... you were at hand..." "That's actually even more of a turn-on..." "I'm Levy's groom!" "She already rejected you!" "It's the same with you!" "You're not paired up with anyone?" "This is ridiculous." "I'm better off just taking a nap." "You guys aren't going out there?" "No." "If something should happen..." "If my wife happened to see me..." "Carla?" "since we are both Exceeds..." "Juvia!" "I'm the only one for you..." "Leon-sama!" "But Juvia is..." "Gray-sama!" "It's no fun letting a teammate get snatched by a jerk from another guild." "Juvia is so happy!" "Our love is steadfast!" "Don't be so clingy!" "You'll make me fall in love with you even more..." "Who should I...?" "Loke!" "Let's take this opportunity and really get married!" "Natsu!" "You look good in that!" "Natsu!" "When did this...?" "!" "I imagined that we would get... what are you doing?" "!" "I'm sorry!" "Hurry up and get offa me..." "The wedding showdown is over!" "Let's go back to the swimsuit showdown!" "I think it's about time for me to put in an appearance!" "That's..." "Lamia Scale's Oba Babasama is going to show you what a woman's charm is!" "the excitement in this arena went down the drain." "The interlopers suddenly lost interest and are returning to their seats." "Cool down... huh?" "I'm a little disappointed." "That was fun... so the next outfit will be the last!" "Here it is! I've got a trick that guarantees my victory!" "this'll be the last one." "Yep." "And I'm not gonna lose!" "Why don't we go with the flow of the previous matches and make a bet?" "Good idea." "What are the stakes?" "How about the person who loses has to appear nude in the Weekly Sorcerer?" "!" "Mira-nee..." "I thought it wouldn't be bad if she lost..." "I'm sorry." "Me too... why not?" "!" "O-O-Oh my goodness!" "An unbelievable wager has just been made!" "She fell for it. but the key point is those three judges." "Cool-cool-cool-cool-cool! and it seems their preference is for younger women!" "Mira hasn't aged for seven years." "Which means she's young! I'm sure you'll choose Mira to sell more magazines." "a beautiful model comes back after seven years without aging and she's nude!" "There's nothing to even think about." "T-The final theme... is battle gear!" "I'll win." "Just as I planned..." "This is my battle form." "Then I'll change into mine." "We went with the flow of previous matches and made a bet so maybe it'll be okay to keep going with that flow and finish this with a little dust-up?" "What's that form?" "!" "Mirajane's demonic Sitri form." "it's her strongest Satan Soul." "I accepted your bet." "Now I want you to accept my power." "What?" "!" "Okay?" "we got a physical fight!" "that is the original rule..." "Cool!" "Cool!" "Cool!" "The winner..." "Mirajane!" "She did it!" "That's my Mira-nee!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "No matter which won we're lucky!" "We gotta buy the Sorcerer!" "That's like the old Mira!" "Awesome!" "I thought this was supposed to be a pinup model battle..." "It was a pinup model battle." "But I don't think there was any "no punching" rule." "I'm trying to wrap my head around that one..." "Isn't that how she always is?" "Sorry!" "Jenny." "No!" "Fairy Tail B receives ten points!" "That was incredible." "Get it?" "She's not someone you wanna piss off." "Understood." "Mira-san." "I feel like I wore a lot of immodest outfits." "Although that last one had the most impact... the same as Natsu's team." "Mystogan?" "Nothing..." "Isn't he supposed to be the silent type?" "that's right..." "Even though the second day is about to be over..." "What does this mean?" "Captain Arcadios!" "Defense Minister Darton..." "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "Doing about what?" "Don't feign ignorance!" "Why are you trying to get a hold of a Celestial Spirit Wizard now?" "!" "Don't you think it's premature?" "I want to make a trial run as soon as possible." "It's still too early!" "It isn't ready yet! please keep your voice down." "it is indeed complete." "What?" "!" "in order to come up with a budget." "Now all we need is a Celestial Spirit Wizard and Eclipse will have reached the practical stage." "I don't believe it..." "You're telling me it's been completed in merely seven years?" "!" "plan B." "This time we will absolutely acquire a Celestial Spirit Wizard." "It's already common knowledge that you're opposed to the Eclipse Project." "we can't be stopped now after coming this far." "Are you a devil?" "! a man may even become devil or god. the life of one girl is exceedingly cheap." "the second day of the Grand Magic Games reaches its final match at last!" "Kagura Mikazuchi from Mermaid Heel versus" "Sabertooth's Yukino Agria!" "We've got another battle of the beauties!" "Which do you think is going to win?" "of course!" "Frosch?" "!" "too!" "we couldn't get any points in the competition part." "No." "Sting-sama was just unlucky." "If we'd known the competition was going to be on top of a moving vehicle..." "Never mind about that." "don't you?" "Sabertooth..." "It means fighting in that name without sullying it and winning without question." "Kagura-chan!" "Win it for me!" "her opponent's from Sabertooth..." "Kagura is stronger than her!" "Never fear." "I saw the path..." "The destination of my sword..." "I guess we're done with the pinup model battles?" "it wouldn't be out of the question... right?" "!" "Sabertooth..." "Watch closely." "This is the guild we have to overcome." "Right!" "All of you already know how strong Kagura is." "She's Mermaid Heel's strongest wizard as well as the Weekly Sorcerer's top pick for female wizard!" "who's making her debut today. so we can expect her to be pretty strong!" "let the match begin!" "I look forward to doing battle with you." "As do I." "shall we make a bet too?" "but I'm not interested." "Is it because you're afraid of losing?" "I don't possess that kind of emotion." "it must be followed through." "So I'd like to abstain from any thoughtless diversions." "let's make a serious bet." "Let's bet our lives." "huh?" "Is it gonna be another swimsuit showdown?" "the sponsor of this tournament who decides on the match-ups has a dirty mind!" "But it doesn't feel like that's gonna be the case this time... right?" "It looks like this is gonna be a serious match." "huh?" "Next time:" "Kagura versus Yukino!" "but what happens when one loses?" "They go nude in the Sorcerer!" "That was for the last match!"
