[WENDY] Thanks.
I needed a haircut.
[LUCY] Well, I'm glad to help!
I don't have the scissor skills of Cancer.
But it doesn't take much to make you look super cute.
[WENDY] Aw.
That's sweet of you to say.
You made an absolutely perfect afternoon like this,
feel even better!
[LUCY] Yeah, today is pretty darn perfect, isn't it?
So quiet and peaceful!
[CARLA] We'd better soak it all in while we can,
because peace never lasts long in this guild.
[LUCY] C'mon, we're not that bad.
[NATSU] Hey!
[CARLA] You see?
[LUCY] Now, things still are peaceful around here, Carla.
At least for the moment.
[snoring]
Happy.
No slacking!
Fish?
No, it's just you.
What do you mean it's "just me"?
Oh don't be so sensitive.
I was just having the most amazing dream
about a super humongous fish buffet
that went on as far as the eye could see.
I think I'm gonna go back to it.
No way!
What's the big deal, man?
[NATSU "The big deal" is
you're supposed to be my partner!
Yeah, so?
Well, don't you see
that I'm doing all this yard work over here?
Not laying around?
It is your turn.
Why should I care?
Because your partner is working his tail off,
while you're dreaming about stuffing your face!
That is so not cool!
[LUCY] Those guys are so immature.
My, don't you catch on quickly?
We're partners on missions and stuff.
But stupid yard work is a completely different thing.
What in the heck is the matter with you, Happy?
How could you be so cold?
Oh please, I am not cold.
No way!
'Cause, it's way too nice today!
It's so warm and sunshiney out here!
[GRAY] So what are you two idiots
flapping your gums about this time?
The work would go a lot faster
if you didn't stop to complain about it.
Who asked you, frostbite?
And for the record, I'm not complaining about cleaning up.
I'm just sayin' that cat should help!
[HAPPY] Are you enjoying this nice weather, Carla?
[CARLA] Indeed I am.
[NATSU] You can't just walk away while I'm talkin' to you!
[MAX] Whaddaya know.
It's been seven whole years and Natsu hasn't changed one bit.
Still a brat.
[HAPPY] What, are you surprised?
He's been that way practically his entire life!
[NATSU] Are you tryin' to say that you've changed?
I mean, obviously besides getting older and stuff.
[MAX] Yeah.
I've gotten older on the outside,
but I still feel pretty young on the inside.
[GRAY] So what you're trying to tell us
is that you're basically just an immature old fart?
[MAX] If you want me to show you my new skills, you're on!
[NATSU] Ha!
Bring it, ya' dusty ol' geezer!
Let's throw down right here!
Thought you'd never ask!
[LUCY] Hey, wait!
You two are gonna fight right now?
[GRAY] Sounds like a plan to me.
It's perfect weather
for a little outdoor sparring match, dontcha think?
Yeah!
Now I've got a fire in my belly!
[HAPPY] And So We Aim for the Top!
Let's rock!
What?
Are you kiddin' me?
Do you seriously think that we just sat around
and did nothing the whole time you guys were gone?
We've all been working on our fighting chops.
[WENDY] I don't believe it.
[LUCY] Natsu is getting schooled by Max?
[NATSU] Well it ain't over yet, pal!
Sand Rebellion!
Now you're just pissing me off!
[CARLA] Do you mind?
Teach him a lesson, Natsu!
Weren't you just arguing with him a minute ago?
This has nothing to do with all that!
Fire Dragon Iron Fist!
Sand Wall!
I'm a whole lot stronger than I used to be!
[VIJEETER] Max is beating Natsu.
That is so crazy.
[WARREN] I never thought I'd see the day.
Maybe this means that we could beat him, too!
[NATSU] Lightning Flame Dragon mode!
Holy cow!
Whoa!
I don't think I'm ready for this.
Lightning Flame Dragon Roar!
Oh wow!
Aw man!
I thought that would be like a hundred times stronger!
[LUCY] When did you figure out
you could use that technique?
[NATSU] Just now.
That's awesome.
[MAX] Well... That's it for me.
I give up, man.
Really wasn't planning on getting killed today.
Which one of you is next in line?
[WARREN] I'm good, thanks though!
[VIJEETER] Yeah, you win!
It makes sense that an attack like that
would use up a lot of power.
You should probably practice a bit more
before you pull that one out in a real fight.
I never knew you were such a good fighter, Max.
Thanks, but obviously I still have a long way to go.
If everybody in the guild has gotten that much more powerful,
why is it that you let Twilight Ogre
bully you around for so long?
It's a little bit more complicated than that.
It was more of a problem with cash flow.
You don't expect us to settle our debts
with brute force, do you?
But that's kinda how master settled them, right?
Oh yeah.
[GRAY] Listen up, guys.
I'm afraid the guild has got a serious problem on our hands.
What do you mean by that?
Gildarts and Laxus are still powerhouses,
but no one else has kept up strength-wise.
A lot of us were asleep for seven years
while everyone here was training.
Yeah, you've got a point.
I mean, Natsu came really close
to getting shown up by Max, of all people.
You're right, and he's really weak.
At least she was nice enough not to say it to my face.
I wonder if anyone knows a way
for us to give our magic power a super fast boost.
Huh.
[PORLYUSICA] Scram!
Sorry to bother you, ma'am.
But we were wondering
if you had any potions that could help us.
Like maybe something that
can make us all a million times stronger?
There's probably no way it'd be that easy.
What's the matter, child?
You seem upset.
[PORLYUSICA] You know I hate people, so get lost!
Shoo! Shoo!
I've had enough brooms already!
Sorry to bother you!
Why does she hate us?
Is it 'cause she and Gramps used to date?
We weren't a couple, you fool!
[MAKAROV] The time has come, kids!
I've done all I can in service to this guild.
Allow me to introduce Fairy Tail's next master.
[CANA] You're really stepping down?
[MACAO] I'm honored.
And I'll do my absolute best.
[WAKABA] It ain't you, ya dimwit.
[MAKAROV] Without further ado, the fifth master of Fairy Tail
Gildarts Clive!
Where the hell is Gildarts?
[MIRAJANE] I'm not sure, but he left us a note.
[GILDARTS] "To Makarov and all of my Fairy Tail family.
I'm sorry. Being master of the guild just ain't my style."
[MAKAROV] What?
[GILDARTS] "But, since I have the rare opportunity
to be in charge for a bit,
there are two things I want to get done."
[GILDARTS] "First, I hereby reinstate Laxus
as a member of Fairy Tail."
[MAKAROV] He's got some kinda nerve.
[LAXUS] No way.
[BIXLOW] Welcome back to the fold, old buddy!
[EVERGREEN] This is wonderful!
The Thunder Legion is back!
[LAXUS] Yeah, that's true.
I guess.
[FRIED] Thank you, Gildarts.
This is a blessed day!
[MAKAROV] Well, if that is the master's wish, then so be it.
[GILDARTS] "And second...
I hereby appoint Makarov Dreyar as Fairy Tail's sixth master."
[MAKAROV] But I just retired!
[ALZACK] I guess you could say things have come full circle.
[BISCA] It works for me!
[ASCA] Old mustache man's in charge!
[BISCA] And that's a very good thing for us, sweetheart.
[GILDARTS] "It's time for me to hit the road again.
But don't worry.
I'll come back around when the mood strikes me.
Take care, everybody."
[MIRAJANE] And this is for you.
[GILDARTS] "To my dear Cana.
I'm sure you probably think I'm being selfish.
And maybe you're right.
But if you ever need me, just use this card to get in touch.
I'll come running back as fast as I can, I promise."
[CANA] Are you freakin' kidding me?
[ERZA] Cana!
[CANA] I told you I'm just fine with the way things were.
Ya deadbeat dad!
[GILDARTS] "Fairy Tail will always be my true home,
that will never change.
And I believe with all my heart,
that we'll be the number one guild in Fiore
by the time I return.
But getting us back on top isn't my responsibility.
It's up to you guys.
Makarov. That will be your final task as master.
I'm counting on you to bring Fairy Tail
back to its former glory."
What does that lumbering fool mean my "final task"?
After the stunt he pulled, I'll never let anyone else be master!
I'll be this damn guild's master til the day I die!
Somebody pour me a drink! That's an order!
[MIRAJANE] Of course, sir!
[WAKABA] He'll be in a rotten mood for a while.
[MACAO] Well, at least we got all that settled.
[ELFMAN] What a man!
[MAX] Wow, Elfman.
Who would've guessed you'd say that?
[GILDARTS] "And master...
I won't tell anyone about what's down in the basement.
You have my word."
[MAKAROV] You'd better not, bonehead.
[LUCY] Hey, whose brilliant idea was it
to visit Porlyusica in the first place?
[HAPPY] Yours, genius.
[GRAY] And she's usually so sweet and charming.
[CARLA] I'd always heard she wasn't fond of people,
but I never expected all that.
[HAPPY] Apparently, she's not too keen on cats either.
[GRAY] Why are you crying, Wendy?
Did that old lady scare you?
[LUCY] Hey!
It's gonna be okay.
[NATSU] That witch made Wendy cry?
She'll pay for that!
[WENDY] It's not like that.
She's just so familiar.
[NATSU] What?
[CARLA] Have you two met before?
[WENDY] I don't really know how to explain it, exactly.
It sounds strange but it's the truth.
Her voice and her scent.
They're so much like Grandine's.
[WARREN] Gildarts is out of his mind.
He thinks we can be Fiore's number one guild?
[MAX] It's gonna take a miracle
to make something like that happen.
[ERZA] I don't think it's impossible.
Besides, we should rise to the challenge.
[WARREN] That's a pretty tall order.
[MAX] Yeah.
Things are different these days.
[ALZACK] Sabertooth would be tough to beat.
[BISCA] Not to mention that even the Lamia Scale
and Blue Pegasus guilds have gotten
way more powerful in the past seven years.
[ASCA] All of them are super awesome!
[VIJEETER] We are a lot better off now that
we have some of our major players back in action.
[LAKI] But the fact of the matter is you guys
are still seven years behind everybody else.
[JET] [DROY] Don't worry Levy,
you'll always be number one in our book!
[MACAO] You gotta admit,
that's a substantial training gap.
[WAKABA] Whether you're talking about individual strength,
or even the guild's overall power,
we still have a long way to go.
[ERZA] I see your point.
Seems it'll take a good amount of time
and training to reclaim our standing.
[ROMEO] I waited for you guys for seven whole years!
I'm sick and tired of waiting for something to happen!
[MACAO] Romeo!
[ROMEO] There's totally a way for us to be number one again.
You all know what it is!
[WARREN] What?
[NAB] No way, kid.
[MAX] Come on.
[MACAO] No!
Didn't I tell you we would never
take part in that thing again?
[MAKAROV] And what might this "thing" be, Fourth Master?
[MACAO] I'd appreciate it
if you didn't call me that, Sixth Master.
[GRAY] Are you tryin' to tell us she's Grandine?
[LUCY] How could a regular person
have the same voice and scent as a dragon?
Is that really even possible?
I haven't the foggiest.
Yeah, Wendy. Whaddaya mean?
I don't know.
But she's so familiar.
It's confusing.
She sounds and smells exactly like my mother,
the Sky Dragon Grandine.
[NATSU] I say we go back there and ask her what's goin' on.
[GRAY] Wait, Natsu.
If she's the human version of Grandine,
there are a few things that don't add up.
Just think about it for a second.
[LUCY] Well, first of all, both of your dragons
vanished without a trace at the same time.
And don't forget, the dragon that raised Gajeel
also disappeared on the exact same day.
[LUCY] All in the year 777, which was fourteen years ago.
But Master Makarov has known Porlyusica way longer than that.
They were friends back when they were both fairly young.
So that means she and Grandine were around at the same time.
It just doesn't add up.
I wish it could be true,
but there's no way that they could be one and the same.
[GRAY] I guess that counts out
any kind of reincarnation or transformation.
Yeah.
[WENDY] Y'know, when you stop and explain it all like that,
it really doesn't make any sense.
Besides her voice and the way she smells,
her attitude is completely different.
[CARLA] From all the stories that you've told me,
your dragon was actually quite kind to people.
Wait a second.
Ya think maybe it's because she hates cats?
[WENDY] Grandine was nice.
She didn't hate anybody.
[GRAY] Sorry, but it's kinda hard for me
to picture a nice dragon.
Especially after our run-in with Acnologia.
Igneel was usually pretty nice!
[PORLYUSICA] I'm sorry if my attitude offends you!
[LUCY] Ms. Porlyusica!
[GRAY] You scared the crap outta me.
[PORLYUSICA] There's really no use in hiding it anymore,
so I might as well tell you my big secret.
[PORLYUSICA] I know it's not what you want to hear,
but I'm not the dragon that you seek.
I'm just a human being, same as you.
[NATSU] But why do you hate humans so much?
[PORLYUSICA] Because they ask too many stupid questions!
Sorry.
I'm afraid that I can't tell you where your dragon is.
I simply don't know.
The fact of the matter is,
we have no direct connection whatsoever.
[LUCY] Then how do you explain your similarities?
[PORLYUSICA] You're familiar with
the alternate world of Edolas, are you not?
Rumor has it that you've been there.
I've heard that you even met your counterparts.
Saw how our worlds correlate.
[GRAY] How do you know about Edolas?
[LUCY] I think I get it.
[NATSU] Wait. Hold on.
[CARLA] Oh my.
[PORLYUSICA] Every living being in Earth Land
has a counterpart there, including dragons.
So one could argue
that I am the Edolas version of your friend Grandine.
I am not from this world.
But I found myself here several decades ago.
[EVERYONE] What?
You're the Edolas Grandine?
[HAPPY] Like a human version of a dragon?
[PORLYUSICA] I was disoriented when I arrived
but Makarov came to my aid.
The peacefulness and beauty that I discovered here
quickly endeared me to Earth Land.
So even though I had several opportunities
to return to Edolas.
I had made the decision to call your world my new home.
[NATSU] Does this mean that Igneel and Metallicana
have human versions back in Edolas, too?
Maybe they crossed over just like you did!
[PORLYUSICA] I have no idea.
I've never encountered them.
However, I did have the chance to speak with the Sky Dragon.
[WENDY] Huh?
[PORLYUSICA] Although we didn't meet in a traditional sense.
It was more mysterious.
She spoke directly into my mind, by way of telepathy.
You originally came here seeking out a means to gain power.
I may be able to help Wendy in that regard.
But only her.
The Sky Dragon dictated this book of spells to me.
It contains, among other things, the Sky Dragon spells
"Milky Way" and "Shattering Light: Sky Drill".
Two Dragon Slayer secret arts
she never got a chance to teach you.
[WENDY] I don't know what to say.
Grandine really did this?
She asked me to give it to you should you ever come to visit.
Those are powerful spells.
Extremely dangerous.
So be sure to exercise great caution.
[WENDY] Thank you so much, Ms. Porlyusica!
[WENDY] Ms. Grandine!
[ROMEO] We're gonna do it this time.
You're not the master anymore, dad!
[MACAO] Well neither are you, you little rug-rat!
[MACAO] I absolutely forbid it!
We're never gonna get involved with that thing again, ya hear?
[NATSU] Yo guys, we're home!
[MAX] Hey.
So how did it go?
Did you guys pick up anything worthwhile?
[LUCY] Well, Wendy sure did.
[ROMEO] You don't make the rules anymore, so just get over it!
It's up to Makarov.
[MACAO] I'm expressing myself as a member of the guild!
[GRAY] What's all the fuss about this time?
[CARLA] Seems like typical teenage rebellion to me.
Clothing, Gray!
[MACAO] Those of you with me, say Aye!
[EVERYONE] Aye!
I don't ever wanna go through that crap again.
[BISCA] That has got to be
the most embarrassing thing in the world.
[ROMEO] But we've got the Tenrou Team with us this time!
Natsu and Erza and all those guys!
There's no way we're gonna lose with them on our side!
[WARREN] Haven't you been paying attention?
They all missed out on seven years of training!
[DROY] You're awesome Levy, don't listen to those jerks.
[NATSU] So what exactly are we talking
about doing or not doing here anyway?
[ROMEO] While you guys were all stuck on Tenrou Island,
a tournament started
to determine Fiore's number one guild.
[HAPPY] Ooh!
[NATSU] Sounds like a whole lotta fun to me!
[ROMEO] Guilds from all over the country
face off against each other in magic events.
[ROMEO] They call it.
The Grand Magic Games!
[NATSU] Oh yeah!
[LUCY] That sounds totally amazing!
[WENDY] Yeah, I'd love to play some games!
[GRAY] So it's more like a kind of magic festival?
[ERZA] I understand.
Sabertooth is known as the top guild in Fiore these days
because they won the last go-round.
[ROMEO] That's right.
But if we can beat them and win the games this time,
we'll be number one instead!
[EVERYONE] Oh!
[MAKAROV] That would be nice.
But I'm not entirely convinced
we could win given our current state of disarray.
[MACAO] That's my point exactly!
[ROMEO] Yeah, but if we do win, the guild will get, like,
thirty million jewel in prize money!
[MAKAROV] We're in!
[MACAO] Seriously?
[DROY] But master, it's gonna be really hard!
[WARREN] There are tons of powerful guilds
that compete each year.
[JET] And don't forget that we've come in
dead freakin' last every single time we've entered.
[ELFMAN] That is just pitiful.
[MAKAROV] Well this year we'll just have to beat
all those other guilds to a pulp!
[NATSU] Sabertooth thinks they're hot stuff?
We'll just see about that!
[JET] Put a cork in it!
[NATSU] So when does this thing go down, anyway?
[ROMEO] It kicks off in three months!
[NATSU] That's plenty of time!
But we have to start training ASAP.
We'll put Fairy Tail back on top.
And nobody's gonna get in our way!
[GRAY] Let's go!
[LUCY] Yeah!
And if all of us start working together as a guild.
[ERZA] There will be no stopping us.
[WENDY] I'd better start studying these new spells
Grandine wanted me to learn, huh?
[HAPPY] It's about time we got a chance to cut loose!
[CARLA] It seems like this guild is always looking to party.
[ELFMAN] Fight party!
This is gonna be so freaking manly!
[CANA] Gildarts may get his wish.
We could be the top dogs in Fiore again very soon.
[DROY] This is gonna suck.
[JET] Please tell me you're joking.
[LEVY] Come on guys, where's your team spirit?
[ALZACK] Um.
This is really not a good idea.
[BISCA] I don't think you guys understand;
the games are not your typical kind of fighting tournament.
[NATSU] Huh?
What do you mean by that?
[WARREN] It's absolute hell.
[MAKAROV] Now the final decision has been made,
there's no need for all this moaning and groaning!
So let's get to work!
Let's win that thirty million jewel,
and the title of Fiore's number one guild!
Fairy Tail is entering the Grand Magic Games
and aiming for the top!
[EVERYONE] Yeah!
[NATSU] We are going on a mega training vacation
at the beach, and the Celestial Spirit World!
[HAPPY] This is gonna be so awesome!
I can't believe we're actually
gettin' to go to a party in the sky!
[NATSU] We'll get to hang out with the cow,
the crab, and the fluffy chick, on their own turf.
[HAPPY] I bet there'll be some Spirits
we've never even met before.
And like, a ton of Plues everywhere!
[NATSU] [HAPPY] Next time: Song of the Stars!
Hey Natsu, can you help me?
There's a creepy plue stuck to me and it won't let go!
[NATSU] Aw, is he your new best buddy?
