Ugh, my stomach wants to jump right out of my body.
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 it would do any good.
They'd never believe me.
Not about a future like that, anyway.
[CARLA] I saw Mercurius come crashing down.
And, as it happened, I thought I heard someone singing.
Lucy.
♪
[NARRATOR] Natsu and friends have entered
Fiore's annual Grand Magic Games.
They barely made it out of the Sky Labyrinth
to finish eighth in the qualifying round.
But it was enough to secure their spot in the tournament!
[NARRATOR] Now the real contest is underway!
Day one began with "Hidden",
followed by one-on-one matchups.
But Natsu's team met with total defeat in both rounds,
netting them zero points for the day.
[NATSU] Zero points? Sounds great to me.
This is our chance to make an epic comeback.
Yeah. I'm fired up now.
[NARRATOR] They got on the scoreboard on day two,
collecting two points on the
fast and furious game "Chariots."
After that, it was time for another round of battles.
Ultra-Poison Nails! Mega-Mega Jellyfish!
He just vanished!
[BLACKSNAKE] Sand Rebellion!
[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!
[BLACKSNAKE] It's just my wizard name.
[TOBY] 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! Nails!
Come on dog, I've got a hundred jewel ridin' on this one!
[CHAPATI] The dust has settled, and we
can clearly see Toby on the ground!
That's it folks!
[CHAPATI] Blacksnake slides away with
another win for Raven Tail!
[ERZA] Very impressive.
[GRAY] No doubt.
And I got the feelin' that he was holdin' back.
Not only will those guys cheat to win,
they have real power on their team.
[CHAPATI] Look at the scoreboard and you'll
see Raven Tail fiercely climbing to the top.
Now at thirty-six points.
And Lamia Scale at twenty.
[JASON] Cool!
[BLACKSNAKE] Now. You owe me a secret.
[TOBY] It's my sock. It just disappeared, man.
It's driving me crazy cause I
feel like it's just right under my nose.
But I just can't seem to find it anywhere.
[TOBY] I'm so ashamed.
[TOBY] I've been keeping it to myself for months now.
Has it really been right here all along?
[TOBY] I don't know how to thank you.
[TOBY] I'm just so happy to see it again.
[CHAPATI] Have you ever seen anything like this before?
[YAJIMA] Thankfully, no.
[JASON] Such emotion! What an ending!
What a good boy. I'm so happy for him.
This is way too stupid to cry about!
Uh. Wha--?
I'll spin you.
[CHAPATI] What is this?
After fighting fang and claw, are these two gonna shake hands?
[CHAPATI] Guess not!
[TOBY] No!
[CHAPATI] Adding insult to injury,
Blacksnake rips up the prized possession!
[BLACKSNAKE] You should never have told me
how much that stinking rag meant to you.
Dumb move.
You there! Spin for me!
[LAMIA SCALE MEMBER 162A] Why me!
[EVERGREEN] What is his problem?
That was completely uncalled for!
Once again Raven Tail is showing their true colors.
Well, what else would you expect?
These are the kind of people that would
work for a creep like Ivan.
The poor dog guy was already beat.
That was just mean.
[CHAPATI] Let's move on to round two
of today's head-to-head battles!
First, from Quatro Cerberus, it's the god of wine, Bacchus!
[BACCHUS] Yeah!
[CHAPATI] Fighting a member of Team Fairy Tail A!
So it's one of us.
But what if they call out Natsu's name?
Then we wake him up.
I've heard stories about this guy.
He's supposed to be as strong as Erza isn't he?
Fight! Someone avenge me!
I don't care who it is!
Oh my. Relax Cana.
I'm sure that Gray could get the job done!
[MATO] Very nice.
You've done precisely as I'd requested.
Yes, my lord.
[MATO] Such an exquisite pairing. Bacchus's wild spirit
against the graceful power of Erza Scarlet.
[MATO] Problem?
[ARCADIOS] Forgive me your majesty,
but did you say Erza?
I'm sorry, but I arranged for a different fighter.
[CHAPATI] Elfman Strauss!
[ELFMAN] Me?
That's not her!
It's Elfman's turn?
Is he even ready?
Well we're screwed!
Hey, don't be mean to him!
You've got this one. Believe in your heart
that you can win and victory will be all yours.
Uh, yeah.
[HAPPY] Elfman vs. Bacchus!
[MATO] You incompetent fool!
I had wanted to see Bacchus do battle with Erza!
[ARCADIOS] My deepest apologies, my lord.
[MATO] How about that Fairy Tail member?
The one that can transform!
Darn it, what was the name?
El--
I've failed.
[MATO] This will not be a match, but a slaughter.
Bacchus will make easy work of this novice!
[ARCADIOS] Yes, indeed he will.
[MALE SPECTATOR 162B] You can do it, Fairy Tail!
Yeah?
Because I'm not too sure about that.
[BACCHUS] Hey, whaddaya say we make our own bet?
Like those last guys did.
[ELFMAN] What?
Your sisters are a couple of smokin' hot little numbers.
[ELFMAN] So what's your point?
[BACCHUS] Come on man, I know you can't be that dense.
If I win the match, they keep me company tonight.
Both at the same time.
Scumbag.
[HAPPY] Both of them? That is seriously messed up.
What nerve!
[BACCHUS] Now it's your turn. If you win.
[ELFMAN] Listen pal.
A real man doesn't tolerate that kind of disrespect.
So get ready.
To get schooled.
So I reckon that means you
accept this little wager, do ya?
I'm so excited I got the shakes.
I slept like a log!
[NATSU] What's the deal? Hello?
That's weird.
Did they all take off or something?
[NATSU] Somebody else was in here.
I can smell 'em.
[NATSU] This way!
[NATSU] Hey, you!
[MALE BANDIT 162A] Oh crap!
It's that guy from Fairy Tail!
[MALE BANDIT 162C] We must've woken him up!
[NATSU] Stop right there!
You're not taking them anywhere, ya hear?
[MALE BANDIT 162A] Run! [MALE BANDIT 162B] Hurry!
I told you to stop!
[MALE BANDIT 162B] He's crazy fast!
[MALE BANDIT 162C] What?
After seeing him in that last game,
I didn't think he could run at all!
[MALE BANDIT 162D] I got this!
Let's see if he can outrun a bullet!
Get outta my way!
Come back here!
I won't let you take Wendy!
[MALE BANDIT 162A] He's catching up!
[MALE BANDIT 162B] This guy is insane!
We need to get the lead out!
[MALE BANDIT 162C] What do we do?
[MALE BANDIT 162A] We gotta dump these other two!
[MALE BANDIT 162B] You idiot!
We're supposed to grab the girl in the infirmary!
[MALE BANDIT 162A] But this old broad and the cat ain't girls!
[MALE BANDIT 162B] Then why did we grab 'em?
[MALE BANDIT 162C] Well, they're all technically females.
[MALE BANDIT 162B] They ain't no girls though!
Who hired you to do this?
[MALE BANDIT 162B] We're doomed!
[CHAPATI] I've seen plenty of one-sided matches
in my day but this is just embarrassing.
Did Elfman come to lose?
I am gonna have a wild time tonight.
Oh yeah.
No. This is horrible!
This guy is way more on your level, Erza.
Yes. And unfortunately,
he's just getting started.
Get up Elfman.
Don't worry.
Your brother never fails to come through in a pinch.
Yeah. You're right.
Woo! Get him, big guy!
Beast Soul; Weretiger!
This take over should increase his speed.
But he still hasn't landed a single attack.
What are we boys?
[ALL] Wild!
[GRAY] Elfman may be faster. But that speed doesn't
do him any good if he can't hit his target.
It's all because of the weird way that guy moves.
Surprisingly enough.
It's a part of an extremely rigorous technique.
One that focuses magic into his palms.
[ERZA] He's very methodical. He uses this power in
conjunction with a specific style of
martial art he's mastered known as "Chop-Hanging Palm."
This particular style specializes
in devastating palm strikes.
All delivered from that unique stance he's taking.
[GRAY] I see what you mean.
[ERZA] But Bacchus has taken this all a step further.
He's modified it to create his own method of fighting.
One that he calls "drunken chop hanging palm."
He's. Drunk?
This dude get hammered when he fights?
[ERZA] That's right.
The "drunken hawk's" moves are unpredictable.
The alcohol also increases his destructive
power and dulls his sensitivity to pain.
[ERZA] But that's not the issue Elfman's facing now.
[ERZA] The problem.
Is that he hasn't had a drop to drink yet.
A rare technique.
The chop-hanging palm is quite obscure.
And now all our fans watching can say
they've seen it with their very own eyes!
What a great moment in the history of cool!
I think I've already seen it!
So that explains the craziness that went down at the bar.
Man.
Do ya think Elfman's gonna pull this one out?
I think he's got it in him.
He's got way more than size working in his favor.
Yeah, you're right.
All of us need to keep on believing in him.
What are we boys?
[ALL] Wild!
Elfman get up!
Bacchus relies on his liquor to keep
his moves erratic and super powerful.
But he hasn't even touched the bottle
that he's got down in the arena.
[LUCY] He's sober?
[GRAY] Which means he's hardly even trying.
[CHAPATI] Whoa! His takeover has worn off!
Looks like he's back to being just a beast of a man.
That'll cost him a tremendous amount of magic power.
Not a good combination with all the damage he's taken.
[JASON] What an awesome fight!
Oh man. I can't wait.
[CHAPATI] Is that it?
Is Elfman down for the count?
Sorry folks, but I forgot to mention something earlier.
Mato, beloved mascot and referee of the
Grand Magic Games, could not attend today's events.
So I will be serving as day two's honorary referee!
Oh?
Cool!
The plot twists are totally unstoppable today!
Couldn't make it?
What?
Couldn't they've just thrown some other schmuck in the suit?
It's not a suit, he's a real-live talking pumpkin!
[BACCHUS] Ah. Back on your feet.
All your howling about being a man ain't just for show.
[ELFMAN] Listen up, you dog. I never told you what I wanted.
[BACCHUS] Huh?
Our bet.
What I want you to do if I win.
[BACCHUS] This is gonna be the only time
this comes up, so go ahead.
Tell me what happens if you win.
I want you.
And the rest of your Guild bros.
To go by the name "Quatro Puppy."
[ALL] What?
Funny.
But do you think he'll agree to that?
It is pretty silly.
It's hilarious!
And I think it suits them way better!
[BACCHUS] Okay, okay.
You got yourself a deal!
[BACCHUS] Last call!
He's guzzling now!
That's right. So he's serious.
No way!
[CHAPATI] Here we go!
It's happening folks.
Bacchus downs some "fighting fuel!"
Drunken Style. Eh?
Wow, I wanna try some too!
Cool brew!
[BACCHUS] Hit me with your best shot.
Should be easy to knock down
a wobbly ol' drunk like me, right?
Take over beast soul!
[BACCHUS] It's pointless!
So many hits!
And they all happened so fast.
Oh wow.
It's like he turned himself into a gigantic blur.
[ERZA THINKS] Seven strikes in the blink of eye!
That's unreal.
All those hits must have caused quite a bit of damage.
Yes. But look.
[Bacchus laughs]
Feel that?
[BACCHUS] What in the hell? He got me?
[CHAPATI] Uh oh!
Bacchus may have double vision,
but he didn't see that one coming!
What are you?
Lizardman.
I can't hit you, but go on and hit me all you want.
[ERZA THINKS] It's his own version of armor.
Hold on... that's crazy.
I don't know if that strategy is gonna work.
He's like a scaly punching bag.
He's making a big gamble.
And there's nothing we can do.
Just sit back and watch it happen.
[ELFMAN] All right, bring it on!
Go nuts and hit me with everything you've got!
I wanna see you rip those puny little arms of yours to shreds!
Man. This guy is wild.
I sure hope Elfman knows what he's doing.
It's so reckless.
I know that thick, scaly, lizardman skin
and all those spikes
would be tough for a barehanded fighter to get through.
But still.
[JUVIA] Bacchus is much stronger
than your everyday opponent.
What, are ya scared?
I like your style, man!
You know how to get my blood pumpin'!
Be a man!
[CHAPATI] And the blows come raining down!
This is more than a simple fight,
but an ultimate showdown of wills!
[CHAPATI] Will Bacchus wear himself out?
Or will the barrage prove too much for Elfman?
[CHAPATI] It's too close!
I just can't call it!
Who will be left standing!
[BACCHUS] Your name's Elfman?
[Bacchus laughs]
That's right I'm wild!
[ALL] Wild!
No. He lost?
[CHAPATI] He may be shaky,
but Bacchus has risen to his feet!
[BACCHUS] I gotta tell ya, pal.
You--
Are a real man.
[CHAPATI] And Bacchus is down
like a sack of drunken potatoes!
[CHAPATI] The winner is Elfman!
From this victory, Team Fairy Tail A scores ten points.
Which brings their total into the double digits with twelve!
[ALL] Aw man!
[Elfman roars]
[CHAPATI] Is this manly roar,
the sound of Fairy Tail's resurrection?
What an upset! Elfman beats the odds
and snatches victory from the jaws of defeat!
Yeah! Hear that?
It's amazing! Yay Elfman!
Now child.
Shouldn't you get back in bed?
I'm fine.
And it's all thanks to Grandeena.
Didn't I tell you not to call me by that name?
So, Natsu.
About these hoodlums.
[MALE BANDIT 162D] We were just doing a job!
That's all!
[MALE BANDIT 162B] Yeah, for somebody in Raven Tail!
[MALE BANDIT 162C] We were supposed to bring 'em
the girl that was in the infirmary!
[IRIKI] Sure you were.
They can tell us all about it at headquarters.
Raven Tail is gonna pay.
Who was there. Past tense.
That seems weird.
[PORLYUSICA] There was one before you.
Natsu brought her in.
[WENDY] They're going after her?
Lucy?
There are more rounds to go.
But this win may give us the
momentum that we've been looking for!
[IRIKI] I'm afraid the operation was a failure.
[ARCADIOS] You idiot!
Did you not tell them what their target looks like?
How else could they have taken the wrong girl?
[IRIKI] My apologies, sir.
[ARCADIOS] No matter.
We do have a plan B to fall back on.
What has become of the kidnappers?
[IRIKI] We've taken them all into custody, sir.
[ARCADIOS] Ignorant to the truth, I hope.
[IRIKI] Yes sir.
They still believe that they were
hired by the Raven Tail guild.
[ARCADIOS] Luckily, we can use the rivalry between
Raven Tail and Fairy Tail to our advantage.
And when the opportunity arises,
we will have a celestial wizard in our possession.
To use in the Eclipse project.
[PORLYUSICA] What's wrong?
Why that ghastly expression?
[NATSU] Raven Tail's dirty tricks are really making me mad.
Me too.
Isn't their master a relative of Makarov?
Yeah.
His son.
Laxus's dad.
[PORLYUSICA] What does that have to do with this?
[NATSU] I don't know.
But it is definitely personal.
♪
[HAPPY] Whoa!
The next round is gonna be a
beauty contest between Mirajane and Jenny!
[NATSU] Can anyone else compete?
[HAPPY] I don't know, but there is a swimsuit round.
Seeing girls in swimsuits really doesn't
do anything for me because I'm a cat!
[NATSU] Is that so?
Hold on, Carla's in her swimsuit!
That does not leave much to the imagination!
[HAPPY] What? For real?
I gotta see this!
[NATSU AND HAPPY] Next time: Mirajane vs. Jenny!
[HAPPY] Work it kitty! Shake that fluffy tail for me!
[NATSU] I'm kidding, it's just Mira. And we've all seen that.
