[GRAY] Raven Tail. And that pompous wizard.
I will be getting payback for this,
so they should watch out.
♪
[MAVIS] It's still only day one of the Grand Magic
Games and so far,
the competition has been less than inspiring.
[MAVIS] Fairy Tail's Team B is in
seventh place with one measly point.
[MAVIS] And Team A? They did even worse!
Dead last!
I guess none of us thought the guy
with the fancy hat was gonna be all that strong.
Don't forget, it was a member of Raven Tail who
kept Gray from going all out in the fight.
That and Juvia's over-zealous devotion.
But today's event isn't over yet!
It's battle time!
Mano-a-mano!
Listen to my cat friend as he explains the rules!
A victory in the battle portion is
worth ten points, but a loss is worth no points.
In the case of a draw, both teams get five points.
That means, if we win,
we can still nab one of the top spots!
[MAVIS] That's right! So don't count us out just yet!
Fairy Tail's gonna be number one!
[HAPPY] Lucy vs. Flare!
[MALE SUBORDINATE 159A] Did you watch the game, sir?
[ARCADIOS] Yes. It seemed a bit one-sided.
[MALE SUBORDINATE 159A] Perhaps the battle-portion
will prove more entertaining.
[ARCADIOS] I think I'll go watch it in person.
[evil chuckle]
If this keeps up,
this year's harvest might surpass expectations.
[CHAPATI] Our very first match of this year's
Grand Magic Games
will test the abilities of Fairy Tail A's zodiac wielder,
Lucy Heartfilia.
Against the "Crimson Intensity" Raven Tail's Flare Corona!
Too bad for you, Blondie!
C'mon! Knock Miss Creepy Eyes into next week!
If you win, it'll keep us in the running!
Yeah! Knock her lights out!
[LUCY] Raven Tail.
[LUCY] They hurt Wendy and Carla just to get our attention.
And in the last game they focused more
on stopping Gray than winning.
[LUCY THINKS] They have a lot to answer for.
[LUCY] And they will. I'll make sure of it.
That's a killer look in her eyes.
Yeah It's like somebody lit a fire under her butt!
She knows she's going up
against one of Ivan's rats!
I want carnage out there, Lucy, ya hear?
Somethin' wrong, Master Mavis?
I can't help but wonder what the
Raven Tail guild is trying to achieve.
With all due respect, it's obvious
they're trying to humiliate us!
They're doin' a great job of it, too!
[MAVIS] Let's just hope it's something that petty.
[CHAPATI] Things are heating up in the stands as well!
Is it true those two guild masters
are actually father and son?
[YAJIMA] Yes, but I think the fact that
they each bear different
guild emblems speaks volumes about their relationship.
[JENNY] Family drama?
How exciting! I'm getting goose bumps!
[MATO] Competitors, step forward!
[MATO] This entire arena will be your battlefield, ladies.
Since this is one-on-one, we've moved
the rest of your teammates completely off the field.
[MATO] You have a thirty minute time limit.
[FLARE] Good. Plenty of time.
[LUCY] I'm not losing to you!
[MATO] If you can knock out your opponent
or make them forfeit within the time limit, you win!
[MATO] I want a good, clean fight!
Now let's rumble!
[LUCY] Here we go!
Open, Gate of the Golden Bull!
[LUCY] Taurus!
[TAURUS] Fierce Move!
[CHAPATI] And Lucy Heartfilia opens with a
Celestial Spirit right out of the gate!
Open, Gate of the Scorpion!
Scorpio!
[SCORPIO] Wicked! It's a party!
Two Celestial Spirits at once?
That's amazing!
She's gotten way stronger outta nowhere!
Get'er, spirit guys!
[SCORPIO] Sand Buster!
[Flare cackles]
She's uses fire?
Did she just block that attack with her hair?
[LUCY] Now, Taurus.
It's time to kick things up a notch.
[TAURUS] Can do!
[TAURUS] Absorb!
[SCORPIO] Yeah, man! You got it!
Let's go!
[TAURUS] Sandstorm Axe!
Aldebaran!
This is not good for my hair!
What an attack, folks!
Not only did she summon two spirits,
but she combined their powers!
This girl has some skill!
[YAJIMA] You can say that again.
She wasn't nearly this strong seven years ago.
What an improvement!
[LUCY] Thanks, guys; that was awesome!
[TAURUS] Smooches!
[SCORPIO] Wicked!
[FLARE] ] I'm gonna kill her!
[FLARE] Hair Shower! Wolf Fang!
Wow, her hair can do all kinds of crazy things!
[YUKA] Interesting.
[TOBY] She's hot!
I'd chase those locks and that caboose all day long!
Her hair is intriguing.
[LUCY] Open, Gate of the Giant Crab!
[CANCER] Yo!
The master barber's in the house, baby!
No, my hair.
You cut it!
[LUCY] Way to go, Cancer!
[CANCER] Dealin' with the 'do is my job, baby.
[FLARE] How dare you?
[Lucy cries out]
[NATSU ] Break free, Lucy! [ERZA] You can do it!
[FLARE] Die!
Your spirits have nothing on my free-flowing tresses.
Oh yeah?
My Fleuve d'etoiles might disagree!
How's that for 'free-flowing'?
[FLARE] What?
[CHAPATI] Whoa, momma! What a match!
These ladies aren't giving the fans a
chance to catch their breath!
And neither of them looks like they're ready
to back down from this father-son guild battle!
[JENNY] Both ladies went down, but no one's gonna give it up!
What's wrong?
Is she hurt?
What's that smoke? Looks like her feet are burnin'!
[LUCY] Ow, that stings.
[FLARE] Aw, having a hard time getting up?
Is it 'cause my beautiful red hair
burned your wittle tootsies?
Her hair did that?
It must've burned Lucy when she grabbed her.
Please don't let her beat you...!
Stay strong, Lucy!
And I really liked these boots, too!
Aw man, what a waste.
[FLARE THINKS] I don't believe it.
My beloved, scorching red hair.
It barely even hurt her?
Damn you, Blondie!
Man, Lucy's tearin' it up out there.
She's pretty awesome now!
Yeah! It's amazing!
I'm very impressed.
[HIBIKI] You'd never think she spent the
last seven years in stasis on Tenrou Island.
But, from where I'm standing,
she might as well be a different person...
I watched her fight Angel during the Nirvana incident.
The power she had then is nothing
compared to what she has now.
Yeah, tell me about it.
And after that she went through that whole ordeal with Zentopia
which probably made her even stronger in the end.
That's true.
And the red-headed chick isn't lacking in skill.
This fight's just getting started.
Hey. What gives?
Are you trying to go for my feet again?
She's too exposed now.
Without shoes to protect her.
Flare's attacks will be far more effective at slowing her down.
Be careful out there, Lucy!
[LUCY THINKS] Crap.
I can't sense its movement at all this time!
Where's it gonna pop up?
[CROWD] Fight! Fight! Fight!
What is she doing?
No Asca, look out!
Ah, come on! You could've dodged that!
You've gotta move quickly!
As if you're dancing!
Maybe her legs took more damage
than we thought and we just can't tell.
[FLARE] Be quiet.
if you want the girl to live.
Try calling out to your friends up there.
And I'll break her neck.
So be a good little bimbo and take
your punishment with a smile.
[LUCY THINKS] What a dirty trick!
[MALE SUBORDINATE 159A] Oh, Sir.
I didn't realize you were watching from here.
[ARCADIOS] It's bearing fruit.
[MALE SUBORDINATE 159A] Excuse me?
[ARCADIOS] With any luck, it will be ripe soon.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could move ahead of schedule?
[ARCADIOS] Are you watching, Zeref?
It won't be long now.
D'you see something, Master?
I sense something.
An odd magical presence I've never felt before.
[BISCA] It's probably just gas.
Or old age.
Shuddap!
[ASCA] You're a stinky old man!
[FLARE] No one notices.
No one's going to notice.
If I wanted I could end the
baby fairy's life before anyone realized.
[LUCY THINKS] This girl's insane!
[CHAPATI] I just can't take my eyes off of this battle!
Lucy Heartfilia and Flare Corona are
two stunning and ferocious competitors!
Seeing Fairy Tail in action must bring back
memories of your Magic Council days, Mr. Yajima.
They had quite the reputation back then, didn't they?
Yeah, that's an understatement.
To be honest, they were a pain in the butt.
But beyond that, they were highly skilled
and the community practically worshipped them.
[CHAPATI] Yes, I'm sure that comes as a
surprise to a lot of the people watching!
[MAKAROV] Aw yeah! Beat her up!
We're countin' on ya, Lucy!
[Flare crazily laughs]
[LUCY THINKS] This chick's seriously demented.
[FLARE] Mouth, shut. Body, still.
And keep your magic to yourself.
Disobey me in any way,
and I'll snuff the little one out like a candle.
[FLARE] Ready, Blondie?
Oh no!
Perhaps the strain of summoning
two spirits at once was too much for her.
Did she run out of magic?
Whaddaya mean? She's not runnin'!
No one said she was, you flea bag!
[Flare screams out and laughs crazily]
Why isn't she fighting back?
I don't get it; she was on a roll just a second ago!
Why isn't she calling on her spirits?
I can't watch this.
She's getting creamed out there!
You can get through this, Lucy!
[NAB] Is she conserving her magic power?
She better crack the lid on it soon, or else.
[MALE SPECTATOR 159A] What happened?
[MALE SPECTATOR 159B] Did she forget how
to fight or somethin'?
[MALE SPECTATOR 159C] Come on, goldie-locks, step it up!
And just like that, the fight has switched gears!
I'm not sure what happened, but Lucy Heartfilia is now
on the receiving end of a brutal beat-down!
You can do it, Lulu!
[FLARE] Feel the burn! How's that!
You like it?
[LUCY] Everyone. Wendy. Gray.
[LUCY] Please forgive me.
[LUCY] Okay. That's enough.
I surrend--
What happened?
Maybe she's so hungry she can't fight properly!
Great thinking, that's gotta be it.
I'm pretty sure that I said 'no talking';
Did you forget the rules?
[FLARE] How dare you defy me?
[FLARE] You can't surrender during the warm-up!
Not when I have so many delectably
painful things to try.
Now be a dear and take your
punishment like a big girl, okay?
No talking, but you are allowed to scream and cry!
[FLARE] Now, let's see. What should I have you do first?
Peeling those clothes off in front of everyone might be fun.
Would you like to put on a show?
[FLARE] Then again, I'm feeling artistic today,
and your body would be the perfect canvas.
[FLARE] I think I'll brand it with the Raven Tail emblem.
Would you like that? Think of it as a
souvenir that you'll have the rest of your life.
[FLARE] Where would you like me to put it?
Hmm?
[FLARE] Oh! I know!
You want it on top of your Fairy Tail emblem, don't you?
[LUCY] No, please don't! Put it anywhere but there!
[FLARE] I told you to be quiet!
[LUCY] No! Stop!
I'm begging you!
My Man-Sense is telling me that something is not right.
Where did Natsu go?
[ELFMAN] He was here a second ago.
[NATSU] My ears don't lie to me.
[NATSU] I heard her loud and clear!
She was tryin' to protect Asca!
[HAPPY] Way to go!
[MAKAROV] Does anyone else smell burning hair?
You're in the clear, Lucy!
[LUCY] Thanks, Natsu!
[LUCY] Gemini!
[GEMI AND MINI] Piri Piri!
[LUCY] We're doing the big one!
[GEMI] But we haven't practiced enough!
[MINI] We're not sure we can do it.
[LUCY] Don't worry, just transform into me!
[GEMI] You got it!
[MINI] Piri Piri!
[LUCY] Why are you dressed like that?
[LUCY (GEMINI)] It's not our fault.
This is the outfit you had on the last time we copied you.
[LUCY] Oh, right.
That was after my bath yesterday.
[LUCY (GEMINI)] I'll get changed.
[LUCY] Not here, you won't!
I will kill that bimbo!
I don't understand.
Why doesn't she just have 'em turn into Erza?
Or someone even stronger?
Doesn't work that way.
They can only copy people with magic
power that's less or equal to Lucy's.
Oh, I see.
So they couldn't copy Master Makarov or Master Mavis?
Maybe not.
But I bet they could copy Master Macao, no problem.
Hold on pal.
Are you implying that I have less power than her?
I don't know what's going on here,
but I like what I'm seeing!
Hubba!
Oh, grow up.
Sure, she's got curves, but she's no Miss Fiore.
I want curves.
She must have some kinda reason
for needing two of herself on the battlefield.
[WARREN THINKS] I can think of a couple.
[MAX] Get your telepathy out of the gutter, dude.
Wow! I feel a dance coming on!
You're always dancing!
What's new? How 'bout you stop being
perverted and support your teammate?
[CHAPATI] There are now two Lucy Heartfilias and
not a single man in the audience is complaining about it!
[YAJIMA] The Celestial Spirits she summoned
must be Gemini, the twins of the Zodiac!
[BOTH LUCYS] Oh stars far and wide that embody the heavens.
By thy radiance, reveal thy form.
I implore Tetrabiblos.
Eternal ruler of the stars above.
It can't be. That spell?
Now I see.
She's using Gemini's ability to increase her own power.
Amazing.
She's actually mastered it.
The spell of the stars.
[LUCY] Even with two of me now,
this won't be nearly as strong as last time.
[LUCY (GEMINI)] I ask that you to lend your power to me.
[LUCY] But it'll be enough to show her.
What sort of spell is she casting?
[BOTH] Open the raging, tumultuous gate!
[LUCY] The power of Fairy Tail!
[LUCY] This is it!
I'm placing all of our guild's pride into this one attack!
[BOTH] With all eighty-eight heavenly bodies shining!
[FLARE] Huh?
What's with the starry sky?
This doesn't make any sense!
[BOTH] Uranometria!
Huh? No "boom"?
Did she lose control?
It looks like Gemini's gone as well.
[LUCY] Someone countered the spell.
[FLARE] Obra! You saved me?
[LUCY THINKS] No way. But how?
The spell vanished?
There's something fishy goin' on here.
Well.
I expected something way more bombastic.
But her spell was a complete dud.
Mr. Yajima.
Any thoughts?
Just forget I asked!
[CHAPATI] And she's down!
Looks like that's it for Lucy Heartfilia!
You know what that means, folks!
[CHAPATI] The winner is Raven Tail's Flare Corona!
'Crazy hair' must have cheated!
It doesn't seem possible for her
to have nullified that spell in time, does it?
It's clear she had outside assistance.
Those guys're playin' dirty!
What's your plan? You tryin' to start an off-field fight?
Are you?
[FLARE] I told you I'd win.
You never stood a chance against me, Blondie!
[FLARE] You're pathetic! How does it feel to be such a loser?
She can't even control her own magic!
No wonder she lost!
[MALE SPECTATOR 159E] Lame-fest!
[MALE SPECTATOR 159F] Now Raven Tail's got eighteen
points and Fairy Tail's stuck with zero.
Big shock there, right?
[JURA] Deplorable.
"It's not cheating if no one catches you in the act".
That's how Dark guilds choose to operate.
What a crappy way to lose.
She knows they cheated, so she shouldn't beat herself up.
Still, they won.
[MATO] Thank you for a splendid magic battle!
[NATSU] Hey, now. No crying.
[LUCY] I can't help it. It's just not fair!
No, it's not.
That's why we'll pay them back a hundred times over.
You were amazing.
You proved that seven year gap means nothing.
We still got a fightin' chance!
[NATSU] Zero points? Sounds great to me.
This is our chance to make an epic comeback.
Yeah. I'm fired up now.
♪
[NATSU] Well, today's Team A match is over!
[HAPPY] Now we get to cheer on Team B!
[NATSU] Oh, it sounds like Jellal's
gonna fight in this round!
He should put on one heck of a show!
[HAPPY] Shh!
We're supposed to call him Mystogan, remember?
[NATSU] But he's not, though!
[HAPPY] We're harboring an escaped convict,
flame-for-brains!
Besides, he's not in our guild.
It's against the rules.
[HAPPY AND NATSU] Next time: Portent!
Sweet!
Looks like he's fighting Jerry!
[HAPPY] It's 'Jura!'. Wait...
You're messin' up on purpose, aren't you?
