[CANA] Way to suck it up out there!
Losers!
Seriously, how could members of
the great Fairy Tail be so pathetic?
It was embarrassing!
[ELFMAN] Maybe you should have been there
to cheer us on instead of hitting
every pub within walking distance.
[CANA] I did cheer for you guys.
All the pubs have lacrima-vision
and the booze is a helluva lot cheaper!
[MAKAROV] Less shouting, more drinking!
We've got a horrible defeat to celebrate here!
[LEVY] Master's wasted!
♪
This has certainly been an eventful day, hasn't it?
No kidding.
I think it's safe to say our work's cut out for us.
Tomorrow's when it's all gonna change!
I'll jump in there and set that scoreboard on fire!
That's right!
Natsu's gonna burn some booties!
If Salamander's takin' part,
I might have to step in myself.
Talk about the perfect opportunity
to show him the fruits of your labor.
[LEVY] Hey. I don't see Lucy or Gray.
Did they leave?
I haven't seen them since today's match.
Well, yeah, can you blame 'em?
You saw how badly they lost today.
They'll show up once
they're done licking their wounds.
[ROMEO] They looked fine to me!
But do ya think we should check on them or something?
[JUVIA THINKS] Oh Gray.
[GRAY] You're still angry about today?
[LUCY] Are you saying you aren't?
[GRAY] Well, everyone else is
drowning their sorrows at the bar.
I know it's a pain, but you should drop
in once you've got your stuff worked--
Please stay a bit. I don't wanna be alone.
Fine, I'll stay. What's up?
[LUCY] The truth is.
I love you! I always have!
I can't! My heart belongs to Juvia!
Give me a chance! That's all I ask!
She could be confusing my
beloved and taking him all for herself!
We're right here, Juvia.
Her imagination must not have an off switch.
Neither does her mouth.
Hey Lu! How're you feeling?
[LUCY] I'm good now. For real!
Matter of fact, I'm more fired up than ever!
[GRAY] How are Wendy and Carla?
They're both still pretty weak.
Porlyusica hasn't left their side.
Listen up!
Now that all you brats are here.
I'd like to make a toast!
[MAKAROV] Today we lost!
And you know that means, don't you?
Tomorrow we climb to the top!
Because Fairy Tail never backs
down and we're not startin' now!
The greatest guild in Fiore is us!
[ALL] Yeah!
What gives? Did they drink so much they
forgot they're bottom of the barrel?
Don't look at me.
[HAPPY] Chariots!
[ARCADIOS] Your Majesty.
I'm pleased to report that the first
day of the games ended without incident.
[MATO] The magic battle was quite good.
If your Majesty has any requests concerning
tomorrow's battle portion, I will happily arrange it.
[MATO] I would like to see Bacchus, for sure.
Make certain to include him in the matchup.
[ARCADIOS] Any preference on his opponent?
[MATO] How about that Fairy Tail member?
The one who can transform!
Darn it, what was the name?
[MATO] El--
But of course, Your Majesty.
I promise a magic battle you won't forget.
[MATO] I'm looking forward to it.
[ARCADIOS] If you have no other requests,
I shall take my leave.
[MATO] Thank you for your stalwart service.
Rest well, Colonel.
[ARCADIOS] Sleep is the furthest
thing from my mind.
There's work to do. I can't afford to rest when
it's so close to being finished.
[NATSU] Who wants some? Don't chicken out now!
I was startin' to enjoy myself!
[MACAO] Another K-O!
[WAKABA] What happened, Max?
Lose your footin'?
A seven year training gap and
this guy catches up in three months?
Have you ever felt completely out-classed?
Not bad, kid.
You wanna try your luck against me?
Aw, leave it alone.
If you chumps go at it we'll be footing the repair bill.
What's the deal, Thunder Dolt?
Tryin' to impress grand-dad with your 'good-guy' routine?
[LEVY] Are you trying to get fried?
Hey! Stop it, Gajeel!
I won't allow you to mistreat him like this!
Mess with Laxus, and you're messing
with the Thunder Legion as well!
Assemble, Laxus Bodyguard Corps!
Our leader needs us!
[CANA] Someone can't hold their liquor!
[BACCHUS] Now this looks like a party worth joinin'.
[CANA] Oh, yeah?
How about a couple drinks to pass the time?
So we're skipping the introductions
and going straight to the fun part?
Ya got something ta prove, do ya?
Hey, pal.
Take some free advice and walk away.
Her alcohol tolerance is about as strong as her daddy!
[MACAO AND WAKABA] You gotta be kidding me!
I don't believe it!
He literally just drank her under the table.
I've never seen Cana
drink until she drops before!
[BACCHUS] Thanks for the trophy, hot stuff!
[MACAO] Do you have a death wish?
[WAKABA] If Gildarts finds out, he's gonna be pissed!
Hand it over!
Mocking our guild won't help you either!
This guy's out of his mind!
Get up, Dad!
[ERZA] Is that you, Bacchus?
Well, well! If it isn't Erza Scarlet!
Still a drunk.
And when I'm sober you'll still be smokin' hot.
You know how to flatter a girl.
[LUCY] You know him?
I heard you'd gone into hiding a while back.
It seemed like such a shame.
Something like that. What about you?
I hear you're actually competing in the magic games.
At first I saw this little trip as an excuse
to get hammered and sample the local color.
[BACCHUS] But after watching Warcry make a fool out
of himself and our guild, my manly
spirit got thirsty for vengeance.
So I'm enterin' the games as a reserve
member and I plan to cause all kinds of trouble!
My soul is shaken and stirred.
[BACCHUS] Maybe we'll have our own
little party in a battle round.
It'd be nice to settle the score.
[BACCHUS] You know what we say in our guild.
You will always be.
Wild.
At least you're still good for a chuckle, Erza!
[Bacchus laughs]
[LUCY] Who was that walking distillery?
[ERZA] A member of Quatro Cerberus.
He's one of their S-Class wizards.
I've run into him on jobs more
than a few times over the years.
And I know his strength all too well.
[ERZA] Drunken Hawk Bacchus, master of
the Drunken Chop-Hanging Palm.
We've fought on many occasions,
but there's never been a clear winner.
What?
Y'mean he's as strong as you?
What's it matter?
That's all ancient history now.
There's no way Erza would lose to a cocky wino!
Who said Erza's even gonna fight him, nerd?
If she won't, then I call dibs on him!
Tell me more about this vision of yours.
What, exactly, did you see?
[CARLA] It was confusing because
it was only bits and pieces.
They're never very clear.
There was a white knight,
an enormous magic circle.
Can you recall any more?
[CARLA] I saw something that defied all reason.
[PORLYUSICA] What do you mean by that?
[CARLA] I saw Mercurius come crashing down.
And, as it happened, I thought I heard someone singing.
[CARLA] Lucy.
[CHAPATI] Its day two of the Grand Magic Games
and the stands are exploding with excitement!
Joining me once again is Mr. Yajima,
and our new special guest, Sorcerer Weekly's Jason!
[JASON] So cool!
[CHAPATI] Let's get back to the action already
in progress, as our wizards take on the Chariots!
[CHAPATI] The point of this game is to reach
the final goal without falling off.
Simple, right?
Wrong!
[CHAPATI] The chariots are constantly in motion.
And though it's at a snail's pace,
one false move could cost you!
[CHAPATI] Which team will survive this rough and
tumble sight-seeing tour through Crocus
and be the first to cross the finish line?
[CHAPATI] For those of you here with us at Domus Flau,
we'll be showing the race in crystal clear lacrima-vision!
[JASON] Cool!
You've seen a lot in your days. But would you
have ever predicted anything remotely like this?
Well.
Why in the hell did we pick him?
Yeah, you'd think the name "Chariots"
would be a big clue, even for Natsu.
He was absolutely insistent on participating.
[ELFMAN] Maybe he thought he was gonna
get to fight chariots or something.
[CHAPATI] Uh, oh!
I don't know what's wrong with Fairy Tail A's Natsu,
but he can barely put one foot in front of the other!
That's it; the world's against us.
[CHAPATI] But that's not all!
Mere feet away are Fairy Tail B's Gajeel, and
Sabertooth's Sting, who seem to be in the same boat!
Huh?! Why am I feeling sick?
I can't imagine what could
be causing them to slow down like this.
I could be wrong, but I'd say they
share a common weakness for moving vehicles.
No, this is Salamander's stupid weakness!
So why do I wanna throw up?
I don't understand.
What is happening to Gajeel?
I'll tell you what!
He's stealing Natsu's shtick!
Even the Sabertooth guy's ill.
Talk about a text-book case of rotten luck.
This game is all about Sting's one and only weakness,
so those other guilds have no clue how easy they got off.
Yeah, Sting would rock their face!
[CHAPATI] Now let's take a look
at the group leading the pack!
This race is as neck and neck as it gets, folks!
[CHAPATI] At the front is Blacksnake from Raven Tail!
Followed closely by Blue Pegasus' Ichiya,
Lamia Scale's Yuka, and Mermaid Heel's Lislie!
Feel the burn!
I'm surprised someone with
your figure can run for this long.
Don't underestimate chubby power, short stuff.
[CHAPATI] Coming in behind them is
Quatro Cerberus' reserve member Bacchus!
Man, that guy's loud.
Can't you let a man work off
last night's booze in peace?
[YUKA] Feel my Wave Boost!
Good luck using any magic
while you're inside my shockwave!
Weren't you listening before?
Chubby power rules!
There it is!
Lislie's gravity change magic!
She dodged Yuka's wave and is now
making her way towards the leaders!
A magic-neutralizing wave, huh?
In that case!
Watch my Swiftness Parfum!
Point-Blank Absorption style!
Wow.
They're really goin' all out, aren't they?
Gets my soul all stirred up, y'know?
Welp, guess I might as well put
a little effort into this race, too!
[BACCHUS] Check this out!
[CHAPATI] I don't believe it!
Bacchus demolished the chariots with brute force!
Amazing.
He's even stronger than before.
[ELFMAN] What's with this guy?
[BACCHUS] Catch ya later, losers!
Try not to fall off before the finish!
That was a dirty trick!
You said it!
[LISLIE] No one makes chubby fly!
[CHAPATI] What happened to Lislie?
[JASON] A gravity change!
So cool!
[BACCHUS] WILD!
[CHAPATI] We have a winner!
I'm shaken and stirred, baby!
[CHAPATI] Quatro Cerberus scores 10 points!
I didn't know Cerberus had someone like him in their guild!
That's what I call wild.
[ALL] Wild!
[CHAPATI] In second place is Raven Tail's Blacksnake!
[CHAPATI] Lislie's in third, Yuka takes fourth,
and Ichiya comes in fifth!
[CHAPATI] That just leaves the
three-way battle for last place.
[GAJEEL] This is embarrassing.
I used to be able to ride on vehicles just fine!
[STING] Hey, that just means
you've finally become one.
You're the real deal now...
...a card-carryin' Dragon Slayer.
[STING] I guess congrats are in order.
Welcome, newbie.
[GAJEEL] Newbie?
What's up?
Where did all of my strength go?
Come on!
This blows!
Okay?
He thinks puking in slow-mo is entertaining?
This a common affliction amongst your kind Rogue?
I had thought that only Sting and I had trouble
with motion sickness, but it seems I was wrong.
[ROGUE THINKING] I'm glad that's not me out there.
Does it affect you too, Laxus?
Just don't let Natsu know;
I'll never live it down.
I probably wouldn't have admitted that if I were you.
Gotta keep movin'! I'm not gonna lose like this!
[STING] Talk about uncool.
Anyone can see ya got no strength left.
You're just making fools of yourselves.
[STING] Fine, whatever.
I didn't need this win,
so I'll just let you guys have it.
Sabertooth's just gonna keep
rackin' up the points after this.
In the end, one measly little point
isn't gonna change the outcome.
One point is nothin' to scoff at, kid.
Don't you forget that!
[STING] I don't get it.
Can you explain somethin' to me?
Why'd you even bother entering the tournament?
Seriously.
[STING] I mean, you're nothin' like
the Fairy Tail I knew growin' up.
[STING] You're obsessed with how tough you
are and what the rest of the world thinks of you.
[STING] What happened to the
Fairy Tail of my childhood?
The guild that did whatever the
hell it wanted whenever it wanted?
[STING] They never cared what anybody
else said or thought of them!
The reason we're here is for our friends!
[NATSU] The ones who waited for
us for all the years we were gone!
[NATSU] Who fought through the pain and the heartache.
[NATSU] They were humiliated,
but even so, they stayed strong!
[NATSU] And they kept our guild together!
[NATSU] We're doing this for all of them!
And we're gonna make sure that everyone here knows.
The Fairy Tail guild never gave up!
Not for an instant!
So there's no way I'm gonna give up now!
[ALL] Oh, Natsu!
[CHAPATI] He did it! Fairy Tail A's Natsu nabs sixth
place and scores two points!
'Bout time we got some points on the board.
[CHAPATI] Gajeel from Fairy Tail B takes
seventh place and scores one point!
Now those boys have some moxie.
Yeah, that was awesome!
Well, they're gutsy, I'll give 'em that.
They're from Fairy Tail, aren't they?
Maybe their guild's not so bad after all.
He got me right in the feels, man.
You know, I just might start rooting for those guys now.
[MALE SPECTATOR 161G] Way to rock, Fairy Tail!
[MALE SPECTATOR 161H] You just earned yourself a new fan!
[CHAPATI] Crowd favorite Sting forfeited
the race, so Sabertooth gets zero points!
You're doing this for your friends?
That's a load of crap, and you know it.
[CHAPATI] And Raven Tail jumps ahead to first place!
[JASON] Cool!
[CHAPATI] Which leaves Sabertooth tied
for second with Lamia Scale!
Wait, we're not first? How did we fall behind?
Sting was feelin' pukey and didn't finish.
Ugh, my stomach wants to jump right out of my body.
[LUCY] So you're sure Natsu will be okay?
Why wouldn't he? It's just motion sickness.
Stop worrying and let him get some rest.
[LUCY] What about Wendy?
[PORLYUSICA] She's coming along nicely.
At least you're up now, Carla. How're you feeling?
[CARLA] Fine.
I'm so glad to hear that.
The others are waiting, so I'll check back later 'kay?
You're not going to say anything to her?
I just don't think that it would do any good.
They'd never believe me.
Not about a future like that, anyway.
I suppose it's just as well that you don't, then.
Besides, you don't seem to believe it yourself.
You're right! I don't believe it!
How can I? It's too bizarre to be true!
It wasn't a premonition. Just a silly dream.
[CHAPATI] And now for the part you've all
been waiting for: the battle portion!
[CHAPATI] Today's first match pits, Blacksnake,
the dark python of our first place guild, Raven Tail...
...against Lamia Scale's own Toby Olorta!
[Toby howls]
[CHAPATI] It's serpent vs. hound!
Which one of them will end up top dog?
I expect to see a clean fight out there, understand?
Toby is so ferocious! Bad, dog!
Hey guys! Did I miss anything?
They've been takin' their sweet time.
It's just about to start.
That dog dude's gonna be goin' in for Lyon's guild.
It's the Raven Tail wizard you should watch.
Ya know he won't play fair.
Yeah. I see you too, Blondie.
[LUCY THINKS] She's covered in bruises!
[ALEXAI (IVAN)] Flare.
I won't tolerate any more embarrassment.
You do realize who you
owe your victory to, don't you?
Yes, sir.
But that Blonde bimbo won't stop staring at me!
[ALEXAI (IVAN)] Are you asking for another beating?
[FLARE] No. I won't argue again!
Please have mercy on me.
[TOBY] Ultra-Poison Nails!
Mega-Mega Jellyfish!
[TOBY] He just vanished!
You fool!
He's using mimic magic!
[BLACKSNAKE] Sand Rebellion!
That freak stole my spell!
He must be able to mimic different
types of magic or something!
Mimic magic.
I haven't seen that in a long time.
Come on, dog guy!
Tear him up!
Obliterate that Raven Tail scumbag,
and I'll pay your weight in gold!
[Toby howls]
You're stronger than I thought you were!
[BLACKSNAKE] You're not so bad yourself.
[TOBY] I wish I had a cool name like Blacksnake!
It's just my wizard name.
You mean you lied to me?
[BLACKSNAKE] What are you talking about?
[TOBY] Alright!
Then, if I beat you, you gotta tell
me what your real name is!
Deal?
[BLACKSNAKE] I'm fine with that.
But what if I win?
[TOBY] Then I'll tell you my super-special
secret that nobody knows!
[BLACKSNAKE] Sounds intriguing.
It's a deal!
Our competitors seem to have
struck a friendly wager.
I wouldn't consider their secrets a prize.
Cool!
A little gambling?
This could make things interesting.
[TOBY] Nails! Nails!
Fangs! Psyche!
[ELFMAN] Great idea!
♪
[NATSU] Elfman's up next,
fighting the drunk-fu master!
[HAPPY] He's no "master"!
He's only as strong as Erza!
[Happy howls]
[NATSU] And he rocked the Chariot game.
Dude's tough!
[HAPPY] Elfman can take him down, no prob!
What's the matter?
Don't you have faith in your friends?
Huh?
[NATSU] Geez, chill out!
And why are you yelling everything like the dog guy?
[HAPPY AND NATSU] Next time: Elfman vs. Bacchus!
[HAPPY] I can't believe I actually howled!
I've lost my kitty pride!
[NATSU] What exactly do cats have to be proud of?
