[CANA] What is this... this light?
It's like fire Am I seeing things?
And this rain?
♪
This light is intense. Is it magic power?
[CANA shouting]
"Here I seal Fairy Glitter, one of the Three Grand Fairy spells.
May it forever shine in the darkness."
This isn't her grave at all!
[HAPPY] The One Thing I Couldn't Say
Alright, jerk wad. What exactly are you after?!
[BLUENOTE] As I said before, I want to know
the location of Mavis Vermillion's resting place.
You'll be looking for a while 'cause we don't know either!
I wonder what he wants with Master Mavis.
Do you think it may have something to do with
the second part of the trial?
I think I just figured out what he's after!
I'm sure we'll end up dumber once we hear
what you have to say but, by all means, go ahead.
Mr. Crazy Pony Tail wants to be an S-Class wizard too,
so he came out here to make us accept him
as a member of the guild!
There go my brain cells.
No, Happy!
[BLUENOTE] All right, that's enough!
No more comments from you. I'll say this once, so listen well.
I don't know anything about a 'trial' and I have no intention
of joining you pathetic fools.
[LUCY] The only fool I see here is you!
[WENDY] Lucy, stop it!
Her grave is more than just a headstone it's sacred ground!
Even if we knew where it was, we'd never tell someone like...
What do you want! Tell me!
I want the sparkle of faeries. Fairy Glitter.
One of your guild's Three Grand Spells.
'just as powerful, if not more so, than Fairy Law itself.
[NATSU] Is glitter all you want? Try hittin' up a craft store!
[LUCY and WENDY] Natsu!
[NATSU] Ow! I'm a human pancake!
[BLUENOTE] I want that merciless light.
Tell me where to find it or I'll squash you until you pop.
Like we'd tell you.
Stay strong, you can push through this!
Which of your friends would you like to see crushed first?
I'm Natsu Dragneel... I'm the son of Igneel!
It'll take more
than you've got to keep me pinned to the ground, pal!
[NATSU] I won't be defeated so easily!
He's running!
Wow. Under that much gravity? Amazing!
I hear it was sealed away with Mavis when she was buried.
Tell me where it is and I'll leave you alone.
He jumped!
He seriously hates losin', huh?
Fire Dragon Iron--
You should listen when someone's talking to you.
Natsu!
He's down.
Great.
What'll we do?
We can't touch him!
[BLUENOTE] I see you've brought Mahkarov...
Perfect. I'll just ask him where it is.
[NATSU] No you won't! Mess with Gramps and I'll roast you alive!
We're not done talkin'
[BLUENOTE] We're done talking when I say we're done.
Now are you going to be helpful or should I
squash you all flat? Well?
[CARLA] This brute is way too strong for us!
[WENDY] This is bad. He's got us completely stuck here!
[LUCY] Someone. Help us!
[CANA] What is this? Some sort of sick joke!
I'm looking for a grave, not some stupid spell!
How am I supposed to finish the trial!
Master. I need answers!
Am I just not good enough to become an S-Class wizard?
After everything that's happened,
I fall short at the finish line.
Have the past twelve years
of my life been nothing but a big waste of time?
[whimpering]
[CANA] On a rainy day twelve years ago,
my mother passed away.
When her will was read,
I learned that my father was still alive.
So I set out on my own to look for him and found myself
at Fairy Tail's front door.
All I knew about him was his name... Gildarts.
Hey, little lady. What are you doing in a place like this?
Uh.
[CANA] It's my daddy!
[GILDARTS] You should hurry back home.
If you keep hangin' around your clothes will start reekin'
of booze in no time flat.
[CANA] Wait, Daddy. Come back! How come you don't recognize me?
I didn't get to tell you about mom.
Who's the half-pint? You lost kiddo?
You shouldn't be hangin' around a rowdy place like this.
'Scuse me. Do you know when Mr. Gildarts is gonna come back?
Gildarts, huh? Why're you lookin' for a chump like him?
He break your heart?
I need to see him.
He just left on a job today, didn't he?
[WAKABA] Yeah, sounded like a tough one. He could be gone
a few days or as long as month. Hard to say, really.
[MACAO] Awww, Don't worry! He'll be back sooner or later!
[WAKABA] Come in and have some juice. Our treat!
[CANA] I came back to the guild so many times waiting for
my father to return, that I eventually ended up
joining Fairy Tail.
[bells ringing, ground shaking]
Why is the city breaking!
This is what happens when Gildarts comes back to Magnolia.
Two months of waiting has finally paid off!
[CANA] But then.
Wow! You look terrible!
[GILDARTS] Nice to see you too, Master.
[MAKAROV] I guess the job was rougher than we expected.
But the client was pleased;
they already sent a thank you letter by carrier pigeon.
[GILDARTS] Really? Glad to hear it.
[WAKABA] Welcome back, Gildarts!
[MACAO] Do ya Got a minute? We'd like you to meet someone.
[MAKAROV] Oh that's right, where are my manners? This is Cana,
our newest member. She's very excited to meet you.
Uh. Hello!
Cana? You know. You look awfully familiar to me.
Wait, I remember you now! You were that girl standing by
the entrance when I left for the last job, right?
So you've joined up, huh?
Well glad to have you aboard, little lady. Work hard!
I need to tell you.
Sorry, I know you've just returned
but if you have a moment.
I have something to discuss.
[GILDARTS] You're kidding me. What is it this time?
[CANA] Sometimes my father wouldn't come back for months.
When he did, he'd turn right around and leave
for another job.
[GILDARTS] Yo.
You're sproutin' like a bean stalk, Cana!
[CANA] Uh. By the way.
Get a move on, or the train is going to leave without you.
Uh oh! Catch ya later, Cana!
[CANA] Later, Dad.
[CANA] The one thing I couldn't say eventually became
a crushing weight I couldn't ignore.
I learned how to read fortune-telling cards
so I could predict when my father would make it back home.
Hey. When did ya learn to read those?
You been hidin' under a rock? Cana's a natural,
all her predictions have been spot on.
Wow! If you enjoy it,
then maybe you should think about learning some Card magic.
The ol' wino's actually got some good advice now and then.
You think I could learn? Honestly?
But how do I even begin to learn magic?
[MAKAROV] With your heart. If you want to learn, you have to
believe in your heart that you can learn.
Like with your fortunetelling.
You have faith that what you predict will come to pass.
Learning to use magic requires the same faith and hard work
as any other useful skill.
If you can believe in the way of the natural world,
trust in yourself, and learn to live in harmony with both,
you will easily master the power of magic.
Just let your heart be your guide.
My heart.
[CANA] The very next day, I started learning card magic.
I took to it like a fish to water.
Hoping that mastering it would somehow bring me closer to him.
But it didn't.
My father was the guild's best wizard.
He was placed on a pedestal,
and everyone down below basked in his radiance.
I was buried beneath them; out of sight and out of mind.
Years went by, and I still never told him who I was.
I started to fear telling him.
What if he rejected me?
What if I wasn't good enough?
Then they announced the candidates for that years'
S-Class Promotion Trial.
[CANA] Master chose me?
[GILDARTS] I'm rooting for ya!
[CANA] I decided then.
I would tell my father the truth,
when I became an S-Class wizard like him.
But for four years in a row now, I've only known defeat.
Even Erza and Mira, who joined the guild after I did,
managed to become S-Class.
I'm nothing but a failure.
My father could never be proud of me as I am.
That's why I decided to make this my last attempt.
Alright, then.
I've been seriously considering quitting the guild.
[CANA] Do you understand?
I have to be an S-Class wizard or I'll never be able
to look him in the eye.
That's why this is my last one. If I fail, I'll leave for good.
Cana, will you please let me be your partner?
Fairy Tail just wouldn't be the same without you.
I promise I can help you become an S-Class wizard!
[alarm]
Help! Help! Help!
[LUCY] So, what's with the card?
[CANA] Don't lose it. If you're ever it trouble,
that'll let me know immediately.
The card I have will start shining and lead me back to you.
No matter how far apart we are.
[alarm]
Help! Help! Help!
[CANA] What have I done? Lucy, I...
[CANA crying]
[CANA] No! It wasn't supposed to be like this!
I never meant to betray my friends.
I can't do this anymore.
[CANA crying]
[CANA] It's okay if I don't become an S-Class wizard.
It's okay if I never tell my father the truth.
As much as I want that.
I want to protect my friends even more!
'Please! I have to save them.
That's my only purpose right now!
It doesn't matter whether I stay in the guild or not!
Because no matter where I end up,
or who I become, my heart will always belong to Fairy Tail!
I'm begging you.
I need the power.
And you're the only one who can give it to me now!
I can't do it alone!
Give me the strength...
...to protect the guild and family that I hold dear.
[FEMALE VOICE] Dry your eyes. You have nothing to fear.
[CANA] Could it be her?
Master Mavis.
Right!
I could be running straight to my death, but I don't care.
I've got twelve years of kindness to repay.
And you better believe I'm gonna deliver!
-- [CARD] Help! Help! -- [CANA] This way!
[CANA] Hang in there, Lucy. I'll be there soon!
And I'm bringing the big guns with me.
The Grand Spell, Fairy Glitter!
Whoever's attacking you is about to get a face full of it.
With this spell I can protect everyone!
Help! Help! Help!
[CANA] Are you the one I need to squash?
Look!
Cana!
She's okay!
Better late than never!
Aye!
[CANA] I'm not letting you lay another finger on my friends!
You're goin' down!
What's that?
I was gonna ask you!
[BLUENOTE] It can't be!
Tell me what that magic is or you die here.
Is it possible she learned to use Fairy Glitter?
Huh?
[CANA] I'm sorry. For leaving you in the forest, I mean.
I betrayed you, and our friendship.
That was unforgivable.
But with this I can begin to atone.
One shot from this spell will make sure this creep
doesn't bother anyone again.
Awesome! Does that mean you found the grave!
What! She did! But if she found it that means. Man!
I don't get to be S-Class this year.
[CANA] We can talk about the trial later, Natsu.
Right now, I need your help to beat this guy.
Keep him distracted long enough for me to gather the power
to send him packin'.
Little girl, you've gravely misjudged
the gravity of your situation.
[BLUENOTE] I never thought Fairy Glitter would be delivered
to me personally...
Now, if you'd be so kind.
It's time I took that spell off your hands.
[CANA] Unless you plan on joining the Fairy Tail guild,
that's not gonna happen.
The spell is useless to anyone else!
[BLUENOTE] If you knew the origins of magic,
you'd realize all spells are fundamentally the same.
Every type of magic that exists today was once part of a single,
unified whole.
[LUCY] A single type of magic?
That sounds familiar, but I can't remember why.
[BLUENOTE] I've approached the Abyss of Sorcery.
I don't need to join your guild to use that spell or any other.
Cana!
[NATSU] I... can't move!
[BLUENOTE] I have a question for you .
Did you think you were capable of wielding
an advanced spell like Fairy Glitter?
Got a problem with that, jerk?
[BLUENOTE It's an ultra-level spell that uses pure light to
deny the existence of anyone its wielder deems to be an enemy.
You bet I've got a problem
with an amateur who thinks she could control such power.
Don't worry.
I intend to relieve you of it as painfully as possible.
Oh Natsu!
I guess even his strength can't stand up
to this level of gravity.
Just watch, I think he'll surprise you.
[NATSU] Fire Dragon!
Roar!
He did it!
Cocky little brat!
[CANA] Nice one, Natsu!
Go! Now!
[CANA] This amateur's about to rock your world.
Assemble. O river of light guided by fairies!
This is what a member of Fairy Tail can do!
She's doing it. But how!
The sun's breaking through the rain clouds!
Sun light with moon light and the light of the stars!
[CANA] May your radiance shine and vanquish
the fangs of wickedness!
Adios, you bastard! Go! Fairy Glitter!
[LUCY] Whoa! This light's intense!
[WENDY] I guess this is what we should expect
from our Grand Spell!
For my family!
[BLUENOTE] Fall!
[BLUENOTE] So that's the skill it takes to use Fairy Glitter?
Don't make me laugh.
I guess even ultimate power can be garbage when it's put
in the hands of lowly trash like you.
[CANA] I failed again.
[BLUENOTE] I'll take the spell now.
And the good news is I don't need you alive to do so.
[CANA] My last chance and I blew it!
[NATSU] Cana!
[LUCY] Run away!
[WENDY] Leave her alone!
[BLUENOTE] Another day passes and I still didn't get to fly.
Maybe sending you to hell will lift my spirits.
I don't believe it!
-- [CARLA] We're saved. -- [HAPPY] Gildarts is here!
[CANA] Dad.
♪
[HAPPY] Hey, Natsu. Did you know that huge tree that covers
the island is called the Tenrou Tree?
[NATSU] Yeah, and Master Mavis
is buried somewhere at the bottom or something.
Wait, does that make it a "Fairy Tree"?
[HAPPY] Whoa, maybe that means that a fairy
will grow out of it!
[NATSU] That would rule! I wanna fight it!
[HAPPY] Sometimes I think eating, sleeping, and fighting
are the only things you care about.
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next Episode: Tenrou Tree
[NATSU] That isn't true! I care about messing with Lucy;
sneaking into Lucy's house; Making Lucy do stuff
[HAPPY] Sounds like this might take a while.
Could you write it down for me instead?
