- Narrator: IN A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY
LIES THE KINGDOM OF FIORE.
A SMALL, PEACEFUL NATION OF 17 MILLION,
AND A PLACE FILLED WITH MAGIC.
FOUND IN EVERY HOME,
BOUGHT AND SOLD IN EVERY MARKETPLACE.
FOR MOST MAGIC IS MERELY A TOOL,
A MUNDANE PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
FOR SOME, HOWEVER, MAGIC IS AN ART,
AND THEY'VE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO ITS PRACTICE.
THESE ARE THE WIZARDS.
BANDED TOGETHER INTO MAGICAL GUILDS,
THEY PLY THEIR SKILLS IN SEARCH OF FAME AND FORTUNE.
MANY SUCH GUILDS DOT THE LANDSCAPE OF FIORE.
BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN GUILD IN A CERTAIN TOWN
THAT SOARS HIGH ABOVE THE REST.
ONE FROM WHICH COUNTLESS LEGENDS HAVE BEEN BORN.
A GUILD THAT WOULD NO DOUBT CONTINUE TO CREATE LEGENDS
WELL INTO THE FUTURE.
ITS NAME IS FAIRY TAIL.
- ( theme music playing ) - ( singing in Japanese )
- Natsu: PREVIOUSLY ON "FAIRY TAIL."
- WHY WON'T YOU GO LOOK FOR HIM?
- I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT MACAO!
- Macao: I OWE YOU ONE, BUDDY.
- NATSU AND GRAY, I HAVE AN IMPORTANT FAVOR
THAT I NEED TO ASK OF YOU.
- Natsu: HEY ERZA, I'LL COME WITH YOU,
BUT ONLY UNDER ONE CONDITION.
I WANT A REMATCH WHEN WE GET BACK TO FAIRY TAIL.
- I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE.
- Lucy: YOU'RE NOT REALLY GONNA FIGHT, ARE YOU?
- Doma: THE EISENWALD GUILD MAY HAVE BEEN DEFEATED,
BUT THAT IS ONLY ONE SMALL VICTORY
IN A MUCH LARGER BATTLE.
- Michello: THE NUMBER OF DARK GUILDS HAS BEEN GROWING
AT QUITE AN ALARMING RATE.
- WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO ELIMINATE THEM ALL.
- Shitou: BUT HOW WOULD WE DO THAT?
- HOWEVER IT'S DONE, WE CANNOT ALLOW ZEREF'S MAGIC
TO FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS AGAIN.
- I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW EISENWALD WAS ABLE
TO OBTAIN A TOOL OF FORBIDDEN MAGIC IN THE FIRST PLACE.
- I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT THE BLAME MAY EXTEND
ALL THE WAY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS.
- WHATEVER THE CASE,
ALTHOUGH THEY'RE USUALLY JUST A THORN IN OUR SIDES,
IT SEEMS FAIRY TAIL PROVED TO BE QUITE USEFUL.
- THEY TOOK DOWN AN ENTIRE GUILD
WITH A HANDFUL OF WIZARDS. THAT IS QUITE A FEAT.
- ( overlapping chatter ) - I STILL DON'T LIKE THEM.
- YOU MAY NOT WANT TO ACCEPT IT,
BUT THAT'S THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION.
IN THE END, THE ATTACK ON THE GUILD MASTERS WAS PREVENTED,
LIVES WERE SPARED
AND NONE OF US HAD TO GIVE UP OUR HARD EARNED POSITIONS
ON THIS COUNCIL TO SAVE FACE.
- YOU FOOL! ARE YOU INSINUATING
THE COUNCIL IS SOMEHOW TO BLAME?
- ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE.
FAIRY TAIL'S GOOD DEEDS ARE OVERSHADOWED
BY THEIR RECKLESS DESTRUCTION.
- THEN WHY DON'T WE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO DISCUSS THE MATTER WITH THEM?
- ( Happy speaking )
- ( bell ringing )
- Lucy: "EISENWALD'S FAILED ATTEMPT TO ATTACK THE GUILD MASTERS WITH LULLABY
ENDED UP BEING BIG NEWS.
IT MADE ALL THE PAPERS,
AND IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT IT.
BEFORE JOINING FAIRY TAIL, I NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED
I'D BE PART OF SUCH A BIG EVENT.
IT FEELS AWESOME, BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET IT GO TO MY HEAD.
IT STILL MAKES MY HEART SKIP A BEAT
WHEN I THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING WE WENT THROUGH.
I HEARD THAT THE AUTHORITIES CAUGHT MOST OF THE EISENWALD MEMBERS
WHO WERE INVOLVED.
THEY EVEN GOT A HOLD OF KAGEYAMA,
SO THAT'S REASSURING AT LEAST.
THE SCARY THING IS,
THEY STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TRACK DOWN ERIGOR.
I'M WORRIED HE MIGHT SHOW UP AT FAIRY TAIL LOOKING FOR REVENGE.
BUT I'LL BE OKAY, 'CAUSE I'M WITH THE GUILD'S
STRONGEST TEAM.
ERZA, GRAY, AND NATSU HAVE MY BACK NO MATTER WHAT.
NOT TO MENTION HAPPY.
FAIRY TAIL IS AWESOME, AND MY FELLOW MEMBERS
ARE REALLY GREAT PEOPLE.
SO DON'T WORRY, MOM. I'M DOING FINE.
P.S. PLEASE DON'T TELL DAD ANY OF THIS, 'KAY?"
( sighs )
MAYBE I'LL DO A LITTLE SHOPPING LATER TODAY.
SAVING THE WORLD FROM EVIL IS COOL AND ALL,
BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NICE JUST TO RELAX AT HOME.
- MAN, 70,000 JEWEL A MONTH IS DIRT CHEAP FOR A PLACE LIKE THIS.
YOU TOTALLY SCORED, LUCY.
- INTRUDER ALERT!
( grunts )
NO STRIPPING IN MY HOUSE, BUDDY.
- HEY, GIVE ME A MINUTE TO EXPLAIN, WOULD YOU?
I WAS NAKED WHEN I GOT HERE.
- GET OUT. - SO YOU FORGOT ABOUT TODAY, HUH?
I FIGURED YOU WOULDN'T REMEMBER, SO I CAME BY TO REMIND YOU.
- ABOUT WHAT?
- WELL, LET ME TRY AND JOG YOUR MEMORY.
REMEMBER WHEN NATSU CHALLENGED ERZA AT THE TRAIN STATION?
- ( crowd cheering ) - FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
- SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS, ERZA! - COME ON, NATSU!
- Gray: THEY'RE ABOUT TO FIGHT THEIR REMATCH.
- ( laughing ) - ( gasps )
NO WAY! THEY'RE REALLY GOING THROUGH WITH IT?
- OH, HEY, LUCY.
- WELL, IF THOSE TWO VALUE THEIR MANHOOD,
THEN THEY'D BETTER GO THROUGH WITH IT.
- ERZA'S NOT A MAN.
- BUT YOU GOTTA ADMIT SHE'S MANLY.
- Lucy: AREN'T YOU WORRIED THIS FIGHT COULD
TEAR OUR STRONGEST TEAM APART?
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? OUR STRONGEST TEAM?
- YOU, NATSU, AND ERZA, YOU DUMMY.
YOU'RE THE THREE STRONGEST WIZARDS IN THE GUILD.
- WE ARE? YEAH, RIGHT.
WHAT IDIOT FED YOU THAT LINE?
- ( crying ) - OH, YOU'RE NOT AN IDIOT, MIRA.
- SMOOTH MOVE, GRAY. - I'LL HAND IT TO NATSU AND GRAY.
THEY'RE TOUGH LITTLE DUDES.
BUT NEITHER OF THEM ARE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE STRONGEST.
THERE ARE GUYS IN FAIRY TAIL WHO ARE STRONGER THAN
BOTH OF THEM COMBINED.
LIKE THIS GUY.
- BUT CALLING ERZA THE STRONGEST WOMAN IN THE GUILD
IS A PRETTY SAFE BET.
- AS FAR AS THE GUYS, IT'S A TOUGH CALL,
BUT I'D PUT MY MONEY ON LAXUS OR MYSTOGAN.
- ALL I MEANT WAS THE THREE OF THEM WORK WELL TOGETHER
AND THEY HAVE THE BEST TEAM CHEMISTRY
IN ALL OF FAIRY TAIL.
- OKAY. AND THIS IS COMING FROM THE SAME PERSON
WHO SENT ME ON A MISSION TO KEEP NATSU AND GRAY
FROM KILLING EACH OTHER WHEN ERZA WASN'T AROUND?
- GOTTA SAY, I'M PRETTY PSYCHED TO SEE HOW THIS FIGHT TURNS OUT.
- OH YEAH? I'M SURE SHE'LL END UP MOPPING THE FLOOR WITH HIM.
- IT'S BEEN QUITE AWHILE SINCE WE'VE SQUARED OFF LIKE THIS,
HASN'T IT, NATSU?
- I WAS JUST A LITTLE KID BACK THEN.
TODAY'S GONNA BE DIFFERENT.
'CAUSE I'M TAKING YOU DOWN, ERZA.
- WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO GO EASY ON YOU.
IN FACT, I HAVE THE PERFECT ARMOR
FOR THIS OCCASION.
- THAT'S FLAME EMPRESS ARMOR. GOOD CHOICE AGAINST FIRE MAGIC.
- SO NOW NATSU'S FLAMES WILL ONLY BE HALF AS EFFECTIVE.
- COME ON, ERZA, AT LEAST GIVE THE KID A FIGHTING CHANCE.
- HMM.
PUT ME DOWN FOR ERZA IN THE FIRST ROUND.
- YOU'RE BETTING AGAINST YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND?
WHY ARE YOU GUYS PICKING SIDES?
I DON'T WANT EITHER OF THEM TO LOSE.
- GET INTO THE SPIRIT, LUCY.
- WOW, FLAME EMPRESS ARMOR, HUH? GOOD NEWS FOR ME.
THAT MEANS I CAN TURN UP THE HEAT AS HIGH AS I WANT TO.
- ROUND ONE, START!
- ( grunts )
( grunting )
( shouts )
- ( cheering )
( screaming )
- WHOA. - SEE? IT'S A GOOD FIGHT, HUH?
- THIS FIGHT SUCKS.
- ( groans )
- THIS FIGHT IS OVER.
- ( crowd chattering )
- MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?
I HAVE COME HERE ON BEHALF OF THE MAGIC COUNCIL.
- NO WAY. - SERIOUSLY?
- WHY WOULD THE COUNCIL SEND HER HERE?
- AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED SHE'S A FROG?!
- AS A RESULT OF THE EISENWALD INCIDENT,
A MEMBER OF YOUR GUILD HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH
11 COUNTS OF CRIMINAL PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ERZA SCARLET, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
- HUH? YOU'RE PUTTING HER UNDER A-- WHAT?!
- AND THEN THIS HAPPENED.
- ( murmurs )
- ( sighs )
- Natsu: THIS ISN'T FAIR, YOU GUYS!
LET ME OUT OF HERE ALREADY!
- NATSU, TRY TO CALM DOWN.
- LET ME OUT! PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE?
- YOU'LL GO ON A RAMPAGE.
- I'LL BE GOOD, I SWEAR.
NOW PLEASE JUST TURN ME BACK
TO THE WAY I WAS BEFORE.
- THE SECOND WE TURN YOU BACK,
YOU'LL RUN OUT TO SAVE ERZA.
- GIVE ME A BREAK. I COULDN'T CARE LESS
WHAT HAPPENS TO HER.
- EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO HELP HER,
IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN FACE OFF WITH THE COUNCIL.
- BUT DON'T THOSE JERKS ON THE COUNCIL REALIZE
THAT ERZA DID WHAT SHE HAD TO DO
TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THE GUILD MASTERS
FROM THOSE BAD GUYS AND THEIR EVIL DEATH FLUTE?!
- IF THE MAGIC COUNCIL SAYS YOU'RE GUILTY,
THEN YOU'RE GUILTY. END OF STORY.
THEY DON'T CARE WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
- I JUST DON'T GET IT.
WE'VE DESTROYED PLENTY STUFF IN THE PAST
AND THEY NEVER MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.
- I KNOW. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
- IT'S LIKE THERE'S SOME OTHER REASON FOR THIS.
- Narrator: THIS BUILDING HOUSES THE FIORE BRANCH
OF THE MAGIC COUNCIL.
AS WE SPEAK, ERZA SCARLET IS BEING LED DOWN ITS HALLS,
DRAWING CLOSER TO THE TRIAL THAT AWAITS HER.
- ( croaking )
- ( chuckles )
- ( gasps ) SIEGRAIN.
- ( croaking ) - IT'S BEEN QUITE AWHILE, ERZA.
PLEASE, RELAX.
I'M ONLY HERE IN SPIRIT.
I'M SENDING THIS PROJECTION FROM ERA.
IN FACT, ALL THE WRINKLED FACES IN THAT COURTROOM
ARE PROJECTIONS AS WELL.
WE DIDN'T THINK IT NECESSARY TO BE HERE
FOR SUCH A TRIVIAL MATTER. - I SEE.
SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEHIND THIS FARCE?
YOU MAKE ME SICK.
- LET'S BE CIVIL.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A STAUNCH DEFENDER OF FAIRY TAIL.
BUT THE ELDERS ARE WORRIED THE BLAME FOR CLOVER'S DESTRUCTION
WILL FALL INTO THEIR LAPS.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THAT IS TO PLACE THE BLAME
ON SOMEONE ELSE ENTIRELY. YOU'RE THEIR SCAPEGOAT.
- ENOUGH.
- JUST A FRIENDLY WARNING.
IN FACT, IT'S ANOTHER MATTER ALTOGETHER
I WISH TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
DON'T LET A WORD SLIP ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT.
FOR BOTH OF OUR SAKES.
I MUST JOIN MY COLLEAGUES ON THE COUNCIL.
I'LL SEE YOU SHORTLY ON THE OTHER SIDE.
- OH, WOW. YOU KNOW SOME VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE.
- HE'S EVIL.
- ( croaking )
- I'VE WORKED VERY HARD TO GET THIS FAR, ERZA.
DO NOT STAND IN MY WAY.
- ( gavel bangs )
- THIS COURTROOM WILL NOW COME TO ORDER.
BEFORE US IS THE DEFENDANT ERZA SCARLET.
PLEASE TAKE THE STAND, MISS SCARLET.
- THIS IS WRONG.
WE SHOULD BE THERE TO TESTIFY.
- BUT LUCY... - WE'RE NOT GOING TO COURT.
- WHY NOT, MASTER?
WE ALL KNOW SHE'S INNOCENT.
WE CAN'T JUST SIT HERE AND LET THEM LOCK HER AWAY.
- EVEN IF WE LEFT THIS VERY SECOND,
THERE'S NO WAY WE'D MAKE IT THERE IN TIME.
- BUT-- - I'VE BEEN STUCK UNDER
THIS STUPID GLASS ALL DAY, YOU GUYS.
IT'S GETTING HARD TO BREATHE. COME ON,
YOU GOTTA LET ME OUT OF HERE!
- Makarov: YOU SURE YOU WANT OUT?
- HMM.
- ALL: HMM?
- WHAT'S THE MATTER?
IT SEEMS YOU'VE LOST THE FIRE IN YOUR BELLY.
HA! - ( grunts )
- IT'S MACAO! - ( gasps )
- All: THAT WAS YOU?!
- YEAH. SORRY, GUYS.
BUT I OWED NATSU A FAVOR.
I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SALAMANDER
SO THAT EVERYBODY WOULD THINK I WAS HIM.
- LOOK, EVERYONE! MY DADDY CAUGHT NATSU
TRYING TO SNEAK AWAY.
- HERE'S YOUR CHANCE. I GOT YOU COVERED.
NOW RUN. - DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE WENT?
- UH... - HE WENT AFTER ERZA, DIDN'T HE?
- YEAH, AFRAID SO.
- YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.
THAT IDIOT WILL PROBABLY TRY TO FIGHT THE WHOLE COUNCIL.
- WOULD EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN?
WE'VE NO CHOICE BUT TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
- ( sighs ) - HMM.
- ERZA SCARLET, YOU STAND BEFORE THE COUNCIL
TO ANSWER TO CHARGES STEMMING FROM THE INCIDENT
INVOLVING THE DARK GUILD EISENWALD.
THESE CHARGES INCLUDE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO OSHIBANA STATION,
THE COLLAPSE OF THE REEYUSIKA GORGE RAILWAY BRIDGE,
AND THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE CLOVER MEETING HALL.
THERE ARE 11 PROPERTY DAMAGE CHARGES AGAINST YOU.
ACCORDING TO EYEWITNESS REPORTS,
THE PERPETRATOR IS DESCRIBED AS A HEAVILY ARMORED
FEMALE WIZARD.
- ( all gasp ) - WHAT IS THIS?
- I'M THE CRAZY LADY IN ARMOR
YOU OLD TIMERS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY ME AND MY GUILD DO THINGS,
YOU CAN FIGHT ME! I AM THE ALL POWERFUL ERZA!
YOU THOUGHT I WAS DESTRUCTIVE BEFORE,
WELL, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.
( screams )
DO YOU REALLY THINK THE STUFF I DESTROYED
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GUILD MASTERS' LIVES?
WELL?
- ( sighs ) - ( chuckles )
- TAKE THEM AWAY.
- I'M TRULY SORRY FOR THIS, YOUR HONOR.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, ERZA? DON'T APOLOGIZE
TO THESE COUNCIL JERKS! OOPS, I MEAN-- I AM ERZA!
- WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW ANGRY I AM WITH YOU.
THAT TRIAL WAS JUST A FORMALITY.
- SERIOUSLY? - IT'S A GLORIFIED SPECTACLE.
THE COUNCIL IS USING ME AS AN EXAMPLE TO REMIND EVERYONE
THAT IF YOU BREAK THE LAW, YOU'LL BE PUNISHED.
IT HELPS THEM MAINTAIN ORDER IN THE MAGICAL WORLD.
- WAIT A MINUTE. SO THIS IS ALL FOR SHOW?
- THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FOUND ME GUILTY
THEN SENT ME HOME WITH JUST A SLAP ON THE WRIST.
BUT THANKS TO YOU, I'M STUCK IN A JAIL CELL!
- ( screams ) - I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU.
- I'M SORRY.
- IT'S OKAY.
YOU MEANT WELL.
- ( grunts ) OW, THAT HURT.
- I SEE. A FAIRY TAIL WIZARD
CAME TO HER AID.
NATSU DRAGNEEL.
- WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT FRESH AIR COULD SMELL SO SWEET!
I'M GONNA BREATHE IT IN ALL DAY.
IT'S THE SWEET SMELL OF FREEDOM!
- SHUT UP.
- I'LL NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED AGAIN.
- PUT A SOCK IN IT, MAN. - ISN'T HE PRECIOUS
WHEN HE GETS ALL EXCITED?
- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT STUPID ARREST AND TRIAL
WERE JUST FOR SHOW.
ALL THAT WORRYING FOR NOTHING.
- SO SHE WASN'T A SACRIFICIAL LAMB,
BUT A SCAPE GOAT.
- YOU MUST BE ONE HECK OF AN ICE WIZARD,
'CAUSE EVEN YOUR JOKES LEAVE ME COLD.
HEY, NATSU! YOU GONNA FINISH
GOING MAN-TO-MAN WITH ERZA?
- UH-OH. - OH, YEAH, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY? WANT TO PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF?
- I'M NOT IN THE MOOD RIGHT NOW.
- I'M NOT LETTING YOU OFF THE HOOK THAT EASY!
- I SWEAR.
- ( grunts )
( whimpers )
- ( all gasp ) - HOW'S THAT?
ARE YOU SATISFIED? - AND HE'S OUT!
- ( laughing ) - WAY TO GO, CHAMP.
- GUESS WE KNOW WHO THE REAL MAN IS.
- ( giggles ) - ( sighs )
- SIR, IS SOMETHING WRONG?
- I'M FINE. JUST SLEEPY.
HE'S COMING.
- OHH.
- ( thuds )
- NOT AGAIN.
- ( sighs )
- SO TIRED.
- MMM.
- ( sighs ) - ( moans )
- MYSTOGAN.
- I SHALL RETURN. - NO, WAIT.
LIFT YOUR SLEEPING SPELL BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
- FIVE,
FOUR,
THREE,
TWO,
ONE.
- ( all gasp )
- ( snores )
- OH, MAN.
WAS MYSTOGAN HERE? - WHAT A JERK.
- DOES HE HAVE TO PUT US TO SLEEP
EVERY TIME HE COMES HERE? - WHO'S THIS MYSTOGAN GUY?
- FOR ONE, HE'S A CONTENDER FOR FAIRY TAIL'S STRONGEST WIZARD.
- REALLY? - YEAH.
AND FOR SOME REASON HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. SO WHENEVER HE COMES HERE TO TAKE A JOB,
HE CASTS A SLEEPING SPELL.
- THAT'S KIND OF CREEPY.
- MASTER MAKAROV'S THE ONLY PERSON HERE
WHO'S EVER GOTTEN A GOOD LOOK AT HIS FACE.
- THAT'S NOT TRUE. I'VE SEEN HIM BEFORE.
( chuckles )
- LAXUS? - TALK ABOUT RARE.
- YOU'RE NEVER HERE. - AND HERE'S ANOTHER CONTENDER.
- MYSTOGAN'S JUST A LITTLE SHY.
YOU SHOULD ALL RESPECT HIS PRIVACY.
- ALL RIGHT, LAXUS.
YOU AND ME, RIGHT NOW!
- GETTING YOUR BUTT KICKED ONCE TODAY WASN'T ENOUGH?
- YEAH, PAL. IF YOU CAN'T EVEN WIN AGAINST THE REDHEAD,
WHY BOTHER WITH ME?
- WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
- NO NEED TO GET ALL WORKED UP, ERZA.
- I'M SAYING THAT IM THE GUILD'S STRONGEST WIZARD.
- THEN COME DOWN HERE AND PROVE IT.
- YOU COME TO ME, LITTLE MAN.
- WITH PLEASURE!
- ( gasps )
- ( grunts )
- YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED ON THE SECOND FLOOR, NATSU.
AT LEAST, NOT YET.
- I THINK YOU MADE HIM GRUMPY. - SHUT UP!
- THAT'S ENOUGH OUT OF YOU, LAXUS.
- THE MOST POWERFUL ONE IN THE GUILD ISN'T A CHICK
OR SOME HOODED WEIRDO.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE STRONGEST WIZARD LOOKS LIKE?
YOU'RE LOOKING RIGHT AT HIM.
- HEY, MIRAJANE, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT WAS THE MASTER TALKING ABOUT EARLIER?
WHY CAN'T WE GO UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR?
- THAT AREA'S RESERVED FOR ADVANCED MEMBERS OF THE GUILD.
THE JOBS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE REQUEST BOARD UP THERE
MAKE THE ONES LISTED DOWN HERE LOOK LIKE CHILD'S PLAY IN COMPARISON.
THEY'RE CALLED S-CLASS QUESTS.
- S-CLASS? - THEY'RE JOBS SO DANGEROUS
THAT ONE WRONG MOVE COULD BE YOUR LAST.
BUT WITH THAT RISK COMES A HIGHER REWARD.
MASTER MAKAROV HAND PICKS THE WIZARDS HE THINKS
ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING THESE JOBS.
THERE ARE ONLY FIVE PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE GUILD
WHO ARE CONSIDERED S-CLASS.
THAT INCLUDES LAXUS, MYSTOGAN AND ERZA. - HMM.
- I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT IF I WERE YOU, LUCY.
IN MY OPINION, THERE'S NO AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT'S WORTH RISKING YOUR LIFE OVER.
- YEAH, NO KIDDING.
- HEY, WHERE YOU GOING THERE, BLONDIE?
- Lucy: WOW. MYSTOGAN AND LAXUS.
THAT IS SO COOL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY FAMOUS WIZARDS
ARE IN FAIRY TAIL.
AND I THINK I'M STARTING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW EVERYBODY'S RANKED
WITHIN THE GUILD.
GOTTA START WORKING MY WAY TO THE TOP.
- WELCOME HOME. - 'SUP?
- AAH!
YOU GUYS STINK!
WHY DON'T YOU JERKS WORK OUT AT YOUR OWN HOUSE?
- NOW LUCY, IF WE WANT TO WORK TOGETHER LIKE A TEAM,
WE GOTTA TRAIN LIKE ONE.
- WE THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE THE PINK DUMBBELL.
- I DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR IT IS,
I'M NOT LIFTING WEIGHTS WITH YOU!
- WE GOTTA KICK IT UP A NOTCH
IF WE WANNA BEAT LAXUS AND ERZA.
- AYE, SIR.
- I JUST WANT A LITTLE PIECE AND QUIET.
NOW GET OUT! - ( whispers ) DON'T WORRY.
WE'LL TRAIN QUIETLY, LUCY.
- WHY DOES THIS KIND OF STUFF ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?
- I'VE MADE A DECISION. - HMM?
- OUR TEAM IS READY FOR THE BIG TIME.
S-CLASS. - YEAH!
CHECK IT OUT! - HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!
I THOUGHT WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO GO ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
- WELL, I JUST CLIMBED THE STAIRS
AND TOOK IT. - YOU LITTLE CAT BURGLAR!
- ( giggles ) - SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST
S-CLASS QUEST, WE DECIDED TO GO WITH
THE SMALLEST REWARD WE FOUND ON THE BOARD.
BUT SEVEN MILLION IS STILL A LOT OF JEWEL.
- WE'RE NOT READY FOR IT.
IF THE MASTER KNEW WE HAD THIS JOB REQUEST,
HE'D BE FURIOUS.
- YEAH, BUT I THINK HE'LL END UP BEING PROUD OF US
IF WE ACTUALLY PULL IT OFF.
- ( sighs ) YOU KNOW, THIS MAY BE
THE DUMBEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE, NATSU.
IF YOU WANT TO RISE UP THE RANKS,
YOU SHOULD TRY FOLLOWING THE GUILD'S RULES.
- JEEZ, WE'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE S-CLASS WITH THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE.
- YOU CAN HANDLE THIS ON YOUR OWN.
I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE.
- BUT THE JOB IS SAVING A TROPICAL ISLAND.
- REALLY? - MM-HMM.
- ( steel drums playing )
- Both: IT'S THE CURSED ISLAND OF GALUNA.
- NO WAY. DEFINITELY NOT GOING NOW.
- I'LL GIVE YOU HALF THE FISH I CATCH, LUCY.
- WHAT KINDA INCENTIVE IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?
( scoffs ) - FINE. WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
- AYE. - THAT'S THE BEST IDEA YOU'VE HAD ALL DAY.
HOLD ON. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WOULD YOU USE THE DOOR?
( sighs, gasps )
OH, NO! THEY LEFT THE JOB REQUEST HERE.
NOW EVERYBODY'S GONNA THINK I'M THE ONE WHO STOLE IT.
WHAT DO I DO?
IS THIS FOR REAL?
ON TOP OF THE GIANT REWARD,
YOU ALSO GET A GATE KEY?!
HMM. ( giggles )
HEY, WAIT UP, YOU GUYS!
I'VE DECIDED TO COME ALONG!
- Mirajane: MASTER!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED,
BUT ONE OF THE S-CLASS QUESTS IS MISSING.
- ( spits )
- ( singing in Japanese )
- Happy: WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD TAKE, NATSU?
- I DON'T KNOW. SINCE THIS IS OUR FIRST S-CLASS QUEST,
WE SHOULD PROBABLY PICK THE EASIEST ONE.
- AYE. THIS GALUNA ISLAND JOB LOOKS COOL.
AND LUCY WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN DOWN THE BONUS REWARD.
- OH, THEN GALUNA ISLAND IT IS.
QUICK, GRAB IT BEFORE SOMEONE SEES US.
- AYE!
- ( Natsu and Happy speaking )
- Natsu: ALL RIGHT. NOW LET'S HEAD OVER TO LUCY'S HOUSE
AND GET SOME TRAINING IN BEFORE IT'S TIME TO LEAVE.
- Happy: SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.
HER PLACE COULD USE A LITTLE TESTOSTERONE.
