[grunts]
Get outta my way! Come back here!
[NATSU] I won't let you take Wendy!
[MALE BANDIT 162A] He's catching up!
[MALE BANDIT 162B] This guy is insane!
Who hired you to do this?
[BANDITS scream]
[MALE BANDIT 162A] 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.
They're going after her?
Lucy?
[ARCADIOS] Ignorant to the truth, I hope.
Yes, sir. They still believe 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.
[ARCADIOS] To use in the Eclipse project.
[MATO] Hey-o, Punkins!
I hope you've been enjoying the magic
and mayhem of the Grand Magic Games!
I'm your referee and mascot, Mato!
Woohoo!
Yesterday's eye-candy was just the appetizer!
Day three will be an action feast!
And if you'd like a side of "plot twist" with that,
the mighty Sabertooth has fallen--
Hold up, Harvest Head, we're barely halfway
through this thing and you're talkin' like it's over!
This is the day Sabertooth gets serious
and shows off our true power!
[FROSCH] We're gonna get all up in your face!
[MATO] Listen kitties, I know you're excited, but this is
my segment and you're interrupting me! Beat it!
That's a pretty rotten attitude for a mascot.
Yeah, it's stinky.
Sabertooth is about to be old news, kids.
Kagura'll make short work of your sorry bunch.
Now don't get cocky just 'cause you ladies beat the newbie!
She's nothin' compared to Sting or anybody else on our team!
Every girl we've got can hold their own, fuzz ball!
[MATO] Please, calm down, you two!
We're supposed to be recapping here, not starting a feud!
What happened to sportsmanship?
Sportsmanship is out the door!
[MATO clears throat]
Sorry, folks. Let's get back on track, shall we?
[MATO] Turns out we've got quite a few ties, as you can see.
[LECTOR] I see an embarrassing new name for Quattro Cerberus.
[FROSCH] Ha-ha, they're Puppies now!
Mermaid Heel is closing in on you, short stuff.
And Fairy Tail is busy
fighting itself for last place.
[MATO] Yes! But tomorrow's a new day and there's no telling
what might happen to shake up the ranks!
That's the real thrill of the Grand Magic Games!
[FROSCH] It's a gambler's dream!
[MATO] Day three is just around the corner, folks!
So look forward to it, and remember--
[ALL] If you want magic and action,
the Grand Magic Games is the place to be!
[HAPPY] Hatred at Nightfall!
Then you will throw it all away.
Yes, sir. If that is what you wish.
Poor Yukino.
This isn't the time for talking, Frosch.
[JIEMMA] You don't deserve that emblem.
Erase it!
Yes.
I haven't been here very long,
but thanks for all you've done for me.
I don't need your gratitude. Out of my sight!
[STING] Master can be so intense.
I mean, that hurt to watch.
Well, it can't be helped.
There's a reason we're the most powerful guild in all of Fiore.
I'm really gonna miss her.
Mmmm...
Is this really how guilds work?
Yukino was one of us, wasn't she?
She screwed up, so she's out.
You know what they say about the weakest link;
she would've just held us back.
[LECTOR] Oh, did you hear? Rumor has it Minerva
is gonna take Yukino's place in the lineup!
[STING] Right on! With our five strongest together
we'll dominate this tournament.
[FROSCH] Hey, Rogue?
Will I have to leave because I'm weak, too?
That won't happen, Frosch. I promise.
You have me at your side.
I hope you're there forever!
I don't think I've ever been this stuffed before!
You'll eat yourself sick someday.
And I'll be right there with him!
The inn should be somewhere around here, right?
Yep! It won't be long now.
I probably shouldn't get my hopes up,
but do we have separate rooms?
No way. We can barely afford one.
Though I'd give just about anything for one night
free of Natsu's crazy snoring.
Not that Gray and Erza's is any less crazy.
Speaking of, do you know where they ran off?
Well, I can't speak for Erza...
[CARLA] but Gray's dealing with a little "crazy" of his own.
I think it's time we got some clear-cut answers.
And we're not leaving until we get them!
Where's Erza?
Don't look at me; I'm not her keeper.
I know where she is! Makin' kissies!
[sighs]
She's probably getting in a solo work out
before tomorrow's games.
I don't think she's solo,
but she is gettin' a work out!
The girl in front of the inn looks familiar.
Yeah, she does but where have we seen her before?
Geez, how can you tell from this far away?
[gasps]
Hey, aren't you--
It's that girl from Sabertooth!
Yeah, she's the Celestial Wizard!
[MILLIANNA] I finally found you!
[ERZA] Who goes there?
[MILLIANNA giggles]
Well, aren't you all rosy?
It's been a while, Erzy-Werzy!
Millianna!
[BOTH laugh]
[MILLIANNA] Oh, I've missed you so much!
[ERZA] It's so good to see you!
I was gonna wait to do my big reveal
until after we'd won the games.
But I wanted to see you so badly that I couldn't take it!
[MILLIANNA] Oh, Erzy-Werzy, let's run away together
and be happy.
[laughs]
You're so silly. I have to say, I was very impressed
by your guildmate. Kagura, was it?
Yeah, she's somethin' else.
Now that ya mention it, she might even be
stronger than you, Erzy!
In that case, I hope I get the chance to fight her.
Well, this is a tournament,
so you might get your wish real soon.
But, somehow I don't think Kagura would
fight very seriously. Not yet.
Why do you say that?
[MILLIANNA] You saw how she didn't draw
her Archenemy sword, right?
[ERZA] That's a pretty vicious-sounding name
for a katana.
It's like a reminder.
She'll never draw that sword until it's time
to strike down the person she named it for.
The man she hates so much.
She won't be satisfied until he's finally deep in the ground.
She'll do whatever it takes to put him there herself.
[MILLIANNA] She'll draw her sword to kill Jellal.
[ERZA gasps]
I don't blame her.
You feel the same way, too, don't you, Erzy?
[MILLIANNA] I know you do.
I have never stopped hating Jellal.
[MILLIANNA] He used us like tools.
He took Simon away from us.
[MILLIANNA] For all of those sins...
He has to pay!
He will. That's the reason I joined Kagura's guild.
I've got some fish if you're hungry.
It tastes best when it's raw.
That's not the issue here.
Well, the truth is--
[ERZA] Try not to draw any attention to yourself.
[JELLAL] I've learned my lesson.
Ultear drove that point home loud and clear.
Don't push yourself too hard.
[JELLAL] I won't. Goodnight, Erza.
♪
[ERZA] Once again, fate has a sick sense of humor.
Jellal's true feelings are a mystery to me.
Even now. They always have been.
I have never stopped hating Jellal.
And what's worse, there's Kagura.
[MILLIANNA] She'll draw her sword to kill Jellal.
It may not be long before she draws it.
To see me? But what about?
My guild.
[YUKINO] I just left there and have something
I'd like to discuss with you.
Your guild send you here to mess with her or somethin'?
Let's hear her out.
I don't think she wants to hurt anybody.
[YUKINO] I realize this is out of the blue, but--
[YUKINO] Please take these.
[YUKINO] The Key of the Two Fish,
and the Key of the Balance.
I want you to have them.
They should belong to someone who can use them properly.
What?
No way. I couldn't! Please think this through!
I already have; I made up my mind
after watching you fight.
[YUKINO] I was going to give them to you once
the tournament was over, anyway.
So why not just wait 'til then?
The games were over for me the moment I lost.
Minerva will take my place.
Tomorrow you'll be up against Sabertooth's strongest.
[YUKINO] The five members who transformed the guild
into the powerhouse it is today.
Wait, you mean...?
It started once they got a new master.
After he took over, five incredibly strong
wizards joined, and that was all she wrote.
But we thought that you were one of the five.
Normally, a newcomer like me wouldn't compete,
but Lady Minerva was on a job and couldn't make it.
So, I stepped in for her.
But why are you doing this?
I thought Spirits were precious to their Celestial Wizards.
Yes, that's true, and that's precisely why
I've decided to hand them over to Lucy.
It's clear she's a superior Celestial wizard.
They would be much happier in her possession.
I appreciate the compliment, but
I'm afraid the answer's still no.
Please, you must take them.
You've already managed to gather ten of the twelve Zodiac keys.
[YUKINO] All you have to say is "yes."
With these in your possession, you'll have them all.
Then the door of world change shall open.
"Door of world change shall open"?
What does that mean?
[CARLA and HAPPY] Huh?
Think you could look into the future, Carla?
Sorry but precognition doesn't work on-demand, child.
[YUKINO] It's just an old legend. To tell you the truth,
I don't understand what it means, either.
But there is one thing I'm sure of.
Over the past few years, the number of
Celestial wizards has plummeted.
[YUKINO] Given the hit to our numbers during
the Zentopia incident, it's possible that
you and I are the only ones left.
I also know that the spirits love you,
and you love them in return.
If anyone should have them, it should be someone
who's connected to them.
Thanks but I can't take 'em.
Celestial magic is about the bonds we've formed
with our Spirits. It's not as easy to give up
ownership of them as you might think.
I know.
[YUKINO] Trust me, this isn't easy for me.
[LUCY] Huh?
[YUKINO] Forget about it. I had a feeling that
would be your answer from the start.
But, for better or for worse, I'm sure all twelve keys
will find their way together someday.
[YUKINO] I hope this isn't the last time we meet.
You passed up a golden opportunity!
I'm with Carla on this one.
I'm not sure I could have said no.
A long time ago, I would have jumped at the chance
to have all twelve Zodiac keys.
But I haven't wanted that for a while now.
She may be a member of Sabertooth, but
it's obvious she cares for her Spirits
the same way that I do.
I'd be a pretty poor Celestial wizard if
I allowed her to sever their bond.
[LUCY] At least, that's how I feel, anyway.
[BOTH chuckle]
[CARLA] So where did Tom Cat and the bottomless pit run off to?
[WENDY] They went after Yukino.
They said they forgot to tell her something important.
[NATSU] Hey! Wait up!
[HAPPY] Please! Stop!
It's Natsu. What could he want with me?
[NATSU chuckles]
Good! You actually stopped!
I guess you really aren't such a bad person, after all.
[gasps]
Hang on! You can't assume someone's bad
just 'cause they're in another guild.
I thought you were bigger than that, Natsu!
Duh, that's why I came to apologize to her, ya dummy!
[YUKINO] Apologize?
Yeah, my bad!
Weak, bro!
[HAPPY] I'm sorry, don't mind him.
Believe it or not, he can be mature
when he really wants to be.
[NATSU] Tch. Thanks, I can really feel the love!
You followed me all the way out here
just to apologize to me?
Well, yeah, it's the least I can do when you look
so down in the dumps. Though, I guess following you
out here might have seemed a little creepy.
No. You're very kind.
Good, glad that's settled!
For a second I thought things might get awkward!
[YUKINO sobbing]
Whoa, now what did I do? Please stop crying!
Ah! Whatever he did, I'll fix it!
[YUKINO sobbing]
I can't take it.
[NATSU] What?
[YUKINO] It's just-- no one's ever been this kind--
or--shown so much concern for me.
I looked up to them once. The members of--
Sabertooth--were my idols.
I finally joined them.
But now I'll never--
get to step foot in the guild again.
[NATSU and HAPPY gasp]
[YUKINO] I was forced to leave just because of one defeat.
[YUKINO crying]
I don't need your gratitude. Out of my sight!
[YUKINO] I was humiliated in front of everyone.
He made me-- erase my own--guild mark.
[YUKINO crying]
It was so frustrating! And embarrassing!
He took my self-respect and shattered it into pieces!
Sabertooth was my home and I'll never see it again!
[growls]
Well, that's too bad. But I don't worry about
what happens inside other guilds.
[HAPPY] Natsu!
Sorry. It's not your business.
I just couldn't hold it back.
[NATSU] You're right, it ain't my business,
but it pisses me off when other wizards are mistreated.
Humiliating you in front of your friends is bad enough,
but making you erase your own emblem?
[NATSU] Any guild that makes a friend cry
doesn't get to call itself a guild!
[YUKINO] A friend?
[GRAY] Hey, Erza. What's up? Somethin' the matter?
Hello, Gray.
I'm fine.
Don't worry. So, what brings you out here all alone?
After dealing with Juvia and Lyon's nonsense all night,
I figured I could use a little fresh air to clear my head.
You think it's "nonsense," huh? Come on.
I mean, I wasn't even there and I bet I could
tell you exactly what they wanted to talk with you about.
[ERZA] You know how she feels about you.
It's not like she hides it.
[GRAY sighs]
[ERZA] She deserves a straight answer.
Hrm.
But then again...
[ERZA] it's none of my business.
Trust me, I'm in no position to lecture others
on matters of the heart.
[GRAY] Are you sure there's nothin' wrong?
[ERZA] Yes.
[ERZA] It's getting late. We should get back to the inn.
[ARCADIOS] One wizard with ten of the keys,
and another with two of them.
I couldn't ask for a better situation!
[ARCADIOS] With all twelve, the Eclipse will work
just as I'd imagined!
[ARCADIOS] It will be soon, Zeref! Very soon!
[ARCADIOS laughs intensely]
What the hell was that?
A party maybe?
We've got an intruder, Sting!
Everything's going boom boom!
They must have a death wish! What kind of idiot
would storm in here and start messing with our guild?
[STING] Who is it?
No idea! But if they think they're getting out
of here alive, they're in for a real shock!
[SABERTOOTH MAN 165A] Aaahhh!
[SABERTOOTH MEN yelling]
[SABERTOOTH MAN 165B] Augh!
Where is your master?
Tell me!
[BOTH] Uh...
Bring 'im out, now!
If you have something to say to me... you should say it.
You the master of this sorry bunch?
So it's "one loss and you're out on the street," huh?
[NATSU] Ha! Those are some hardcore rules, pal.
[JIEMMA growls]
Let's see if you play by 'em.
If you lose to me, you gotta quit the guild, too!
[NATSU] To celebrate scoring our first points in
the Grand Magic Games, we gorged ourselves
silly on food and drink.
[HAPPY] As we endured our stomachaches,
the fair Yukino appeared before us,
out of uniform and homeless!
[NATSU] After learning of the abuse she endured at the hands
of her guild master, I, the valiant Salamander,
launched an assault on the Sabertooth guild itself!
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: "Pandemonium!"
[HAPPY] What about me, your colleague,
whom you've left behind?
[NATSU] Uh, well--
[HAPPY] What is to become of me?
[NATSU] Sorry, I can't keep this up, 'lil buddy!
