[MATO] You don't seriously mean to challenge
all the monsters at once, do you?
We designed this event to be completed by multiple wizards!
I don't care.
♪
[NARRATOR] Last time, Mato unveiled day three's contest,
Pandemonium. The goal: to defeat the most monsters
out of a total of one hundred.
Contestants enter Pandemonium one at a time,
declaring the number of monsters they wish to face,
and then slaying them.
The challengers are supposed to take turns doing this but...
Inside this castle... wait one hundred monsters.
I choose to challenge...
all of them!
[CROWD cheerful chatter]
[NARRATOR] Will Erza's gamble pay off? Let's hope so.
[HAPPY] One hundred Against One!
[LUCY] I'm worried.
Weird it looks like it's bigger on the inside, somehow.
It looks like it's upside down.
Just lookin' at it makes me wanna blow chunks.
[ERZA] I am Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail's Team A.
[ERZA] I will face one hundred!
[WENDY] Uh...
Is she sure she can take on that many?
Even the weakest ones look deadly.
Do you think she's got a plan?
Don't ask me. I can't understand
what goes on in her head.
I can. This is nothin'. She's got this.
That's Natsu. He never worries, does he?
Yeah, he's too busy dreaming of
beating Erza himself.
I wouldn't be taking on that many at once.
She'll get through it, somehow.
That's the spirit. Just relax and watch her go to work.
[cheering]
[DORANBOLT] There's that famous recklessness.
Those seven years on Tenrou Island
didn't change them as much as I'd feared.
[ERZA] Requip!
[ERZA] Heaven's Wheel! Scattered Petals!
[CHAPATI] Holy moly! Erza Scarlet wastes no time
and attacks with full force! It's raining destruction
as the D-class horde falls one after another!
[CROWD cheering]
Whoa, looks like she tried to wipe 'em all out at once.
Doubtful.
I think she was using that attack to test the waters.
To see how her opponents measure up.
That way, she can discover their weaknesses.
[MAKAROV] That's definitely it. With that one attack she could
tell in an instant which Requip to use against each monster.
Her strength skyrocketed!
Her Black Wing Armor! When she wears it,
all of her attacks get a jumbo boost of power!
Smart move. She's using brute force
[CARLA] to thin their numbers quickly.
[WENDY] No! Erza!
[GRAY] The bigger ones use magic, huh?
[NATSU] Don't worry about it.
She can handle a little fire.
[LUCY] Oh, yeah! Her Flame Empress Armor!
[PANTHERLILY] The blade put out the fire?
How's that possible?
I betcha that's the sword from her Sea Empress Armor!
Fighting fire with water does make sense.
[ERZA grunts]
[CHAPATI] Whoa, momma!
That's five C-classes down in mere seconds!
[CHAPATI] My word! What's happening?
[PANTHERLILY] She added a fire sword to the mix.
[CARLA] It looks like she's taken some real damage, though.
[ERZA] Are you the S-class beast? No, I guess not.
[CROWD screams and cheers]
Now she's fighting a water foe with Sea Empress Armor
and a lightning attack.
Very good!
She can make snap judgments on the fly.
[MAVIS] And nothing can make her lose focus!
[ERZA] Uhhh!
[MAVIS] She's truly an amazing wizard!
[CHAPATI] What precision! What raw power!
Fifty monsters have already fallen!
That's insane!
Don't you mean "wild"?
Her style is quite efficient.
Balanced in strength and finesse.
Sho and Wally would freak out if they saw this!
Are you kidding?
You're really impressed with this chick?
[OLGA] She looks like she's gonna keel over.
[CHAPATI] The fight seems to have taken
its toll on Miss Scarlet!
[NATSU] Go get 'em, Erza! Tear 'em to shreds!
Is she gonna pull this off?
She's exhausted and the hard part's still to come.
[CROWD chatter]
[CHAPATI] Amazing! Despite her injuries, Erza continues
to defeat foe after foe!
But how will she fare against her next enemy,
an A-class monster?
Uh.
Wow, That blow had a whole lot of weight behind it.
Yeah! I think that one might've done her in!
[KAGURA] No. She used her opponent's own power against it.
Very clever.
[BETH and LISLIE] Whoa!
[CROWD gasping and screaming]
[ALL gasp] [MATO chuckles nervously]
♪
[grunts]
♪
[SEMUS] Auhhh... [BACCHUS chuckles]
[ALL cheer] [WENDY] Go Erza!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
[ALL cheering]
[KAGURA] Hmmm.
[CROWD cheering]
[CHAPATI] Titania cannot be stopped, folks!
The monsters can't keep up with her Requips!
One by one, even the most vicious monsters
fall before her!
She's taken their hits, and used up tons of magic power,
but she keeps going! Only four opponents remain!
Yeah, but every single one of them is super powerful!
She hasn't beaten the S-class one yet either,
do you think she has enough magic left to win?
Watch! We'll all know soon enough.
Don't forget, Erza is S-class in her own right.
There's no way she'll let it take her down.
Whoa!
What in the hell was that thing?
[CHAPATI] Amazing! Ninety-nine down!
Only the S-class monster remains!
What sort of horror awaits our heroine?
Wait. What the--?
[ERZA] Just as I thought. It was you all along.
[NATSU] No way!
[NATSU and GRAY] That thing?
For a monster it's actually pretty cute, don't ya think?
Hm...
[LUCY] I've got a bad feeling about this.
[ROMEO] Hey, why did Erza bring out a second blade?
She's using two swords against tiny?
Sounds like over-kill if ya ask me.
I'm sure she has her reasons.
Agreed.
[PANTHERLILY] Take a look at her body language.
She's gearing up for the real fight.
[ERZA] Come at me.
[MATO] Don't say I didn't give you fair warning!
The S-class monster was designed to increase
its power three-fold if it became the last one standing.
You may have had a chance before, but now it's game over.
[CHAPATI] Pandemonium is down to a one-on-one duel!
And it looks like the action has moved to the top of the tower,
where Erza's completely overwhelmed!
The now humongous S-class monster has her
trapped under foot!
[YAJIMA] I never would have pegged that critter
as the alpha beast!
[LAHAR] Quite an effective ambush.
This tower is truly worthy of the name "Pandemonium."
[CROWD screaming]
Get up!
That big, rusty, ol' hunk a tin's got nothin' on you, Erza!
♪
[MATO exhales nervously]
[grunts]
[LEVY] Day three of the Grand Magic games changed everything.
I'll never forget it. The miracle we witnessed.
[LEVY] Despite her countless injuries...
the Fairy that should have fallen... soared.
[LEVY] Titania triumphed and our spirits were reborn anew.
♪
[LEVY] Like a Scarlet rose. Blooming in full glory.
Sword in hand.
[CHAPATI] That... was... unbelievable!
Erza Scarlet has single-handedly defeated
all one hundred monsters!
Fairy Tail Team A sweeps today's contest
in an absolute, undisputed victory!
[CHAPATI] Let it be known! We've just witnessed history!
The strongest guild from seven years ago
has returned from the grave!
[CROWD MALE 167A] That rocked!
[CROWD MALE 167B] She's amazing!
[CROWD FEMALE 167A] She's Fairy Tail's most powerful
female wizard.
They call her the Queen of the Fairies!
[CROWD MALE 167C] Well, Hail to the Queen, baby! Woo!
The crowd is going bananas over that inspiring performance!
I thought the suspense was going to kill me.
I must say that was breathtaking.
[DORANBOLT] It took me awhile, but... I can finally see it.
The strength behind your recklessness.
[WENDY, LUCY, NATSU, and GRAY shout cheerfully]
[ERZA] Hey Guys. I hope you'll forgive me.
Dealing with them took a bit longer than I expected.
Uh--!
[GRAY] That was the coolest thing ever!
[NATSU] Whaddya say we go a couple of rounds later?
[LUCY] It was so beautiful, I cried!
[WENDY] I was so moved I'm still crying, see?
[ERZA] Calm down.
You realize we haven't won yet, right?
[WENDY, LUCY, NATSU, and GRAY laughing]
[MATO] Did I hear that right?
Did she really just apologize because
it took longer than she expected?
That girl's in a league of her own.
Yeah, Erzy might be the strongest in Fiore!
She's pumped up to the max!
Sir Ichiya's girlfriend is magnificent!
What I wouldn't give to make her mine!
If you think you're wild enough to make a pass
at that beast, you go right ahead, pretty boy.
Heh. Indeed!
This was a huge waste of time.
[CROWD chanting "Erza"]
Look out, first place, here we come!
Yeah, you go girl!
Erza! I could kiss you!
[CHAPATI] The booing that greeted Fairy Tail on day one
seems like a distant memory.
You can really feel the love here in Crocus!
[YAJIMA] Anyone would go gaga after seeing that spectacle!
[LAHAR] I wholeheartedly agree. It was incredibly inspiring!
[DORANBOLT] Seven years of doubt and self-loathing.
And now... I can see what a waste that was.
What? You think that chick was awesome?
Olga would have beaten 'em all in ten seconds flat!
Her outfits looked pretty awesome though!
How Interesting.
Perhaps these Fairies aren't all talk and no action.
I must say, I'm impressed.
I've never seen anyone like her! Amazin'!
I can't believe she took on all of 'em!
Well, one thing's for sure,
it's obvious why they call her "Titania."
[KAGURA] Erza Scarlet. She's the one who's close to Jellal.
[CHAPATI] Fairy Tail A dominates the Pandemonium
contest and scores ten points for their team!
[CROWD cheering]
[MATO] Okay, after some deliberation, we've decided
that the seven remaining teams still need to be ranked
so we're having another contest!
This game might be a little on the boring side
compared to Pandemonium, but I think it'll suffice.
[NOVALI] What is that thing?
[MATO] The Magic Power Finder! Or MPF for short!
Pretty snazzy, eh?
[JURA] In other words, it measures a wizard's magic power?
[MATO] Right-O! If you cast a spell on this device,
it will display your magic power in numerical form!
We'll use this number to decide the rankings
for the remaining teams. Quick and easy!
Is this strictly a contest of strength?
I wonder if there's some way I could work around it.
But the real question is are you free later tonight?
Hm?
Well, I could be.
But then I wouldn't have enough room for another barrel.
You might have a problem.
Might? How is she not dead yet?
The boozer's drinkin' on the job!
Guess our team isn't scoring this round.
Stop drinking! You still have to compete for us, Cana!
Huh?
[MATO] Let's begin, shall we?
Since you all drew straws earlier,
we'll continue in that order.
That means it's finally my turn!
[MILLIANNA] Here goes!
[CHAPATI] Oh, my! The cape is off
and the sexy meter is off the charts!
[MILLIANNA] Kitten Blast!
[CHAPATI] Millianna scores three-hundred-sixty-five!
[confused chatter]
[CHAPATI] That being said... since we didn't set a benchmark
for comparison, I'm not really sure whether
that is a good number or not.
Mhmmm.
Maybe I can help.
We Rune Knights use MPF's in training fairly often.
[LAHAR] She actually did very well.
That score would qualify her for Squad Captain!
[CHAPATI] Wow! What an impressive start!
I am one pumped up kitty!
That's great and all, but raw power really
ain't Millianna's strongest feature.
She might be at a disadvantage out there.
[CHAPATI] Clocking in at one-hundred-and-twenty-four
is Novali of Quatro Puppy!
A bit on the low-side, wouldn't ya say?
Guess it's my turn to shine.
[FEMALE CROWD screams]
Am I the only one who thinks that Hibiki might be
out of his league?
I should be the one down there.
Have faith, men! Our friend won't let us down!
Oh, Sir! When did you get here?
It's good to see you back in action, Master.
Thank you. Jenny did her part, and now it's my turn.
[CHAPATI] Hibiki of Blue Pegasus scores
a measly ninety-five points!
[HIBIKI] Not even three digits? Man.
I told you I should've been the one down there.
[laughs nervously]
Such is life. But remember that failure
is the great teacher!
Learn its lessons, and the rewards will be everlasting.
[EVE and REN] Right! We look forward to learning, Maestro!
Aw, come on, cute stuff, don't be like that!
I can cheer you up tonight if you really want me to.
[HIBIKI] I don't think I can wait that long.
--[MATO] Excuse me. --I need comforting now!
[CHAPATI] Next up is Obra of Raven Tail!
He's the one!
The guy that attacked Wendy and Carla!
That scoundrel!
Another Raven, huh?
I wonder what kind of magic he'll use.
[CHAPATI] Obra clocks in at... four points?
[NATSU] Huh?
[GRAY] Is this some kinda joke?
Anyone buy that?
No.
I know you want to watch, but you should really be in bed.
[MATO] Uh... I'm very sorry,
but I'm afraid we can't allow any do-overs.
Ah! Hey! Give that back!
[CANA laughing]
[FLARE] What an idiot! What were you thinking, Obra?
Come on! We won't get any points now!
Quiet, Flare.
He can't reveal his magic in front of everyone.
Right. Sorry.
Yeah, that's one guy you don't wanna
get worked up, capisce?
Heh. Ain't that the truth?
[MATO] Okay! Millianna of Mermaid Heel is currently in
the lead with three-hundred- and-sixty-five points!
[MILLIANNA] Meow! This is better than chasing my own tail!
[OLGA] I'm about to change that.
[CROWD cheering]
[CHAPATI] And the crowd goes berserk for Olga!
How will one of Sabertooth's strongest fare?
Rip that thing to pieces and show those twerps whose boss!
And do a silly dance while you're at it!
One Twenty Millimeter Black Lightning Cannon!
[BOTH] Aaahhh!
[CHAPATI] Whoa. It's almost four thousand!
No way, he's ten times stronger than me?
What?
That number can't be right!
Crazy!
[LAHAR] I've never in my life seen a score that high!
Awesome! That's our Olga! What a powerhouse!
--Way to go, Olga! --I knew he'd win!
--Way to go, Olga! --We're the champions!
[chuckles]
[OLGA] ♪ You other guilds think that you're really cool ♪
[MATO] We could do without the singing, okay big guy?
[CHAPATI] Things are really heating up down there!
Can the Wizard Saint Jura surpass that incredible score?
Or has Olga set the bar?
I really hope Jura can beat that loud mouth.
Sure he can. You should be worried
about whether we'll survive it.
Huh?
[JURA] Do you mind if I give it my all?
[MATO] That's the game, isn't it?
[CHAPATI] Here he goes, folks!
What does Jura have in store for us?
An earthquake!
He's giving off intense magical pressure!
[JURA] Rumbling Fuji!
[CHAPATI] Eight thousand, five hundred and forty-four!
That is absolutely mind-blowing!
No way!
He sure packs a wallop for someone his age!
What the--?
And here I thought it would be a little higher.
Wizard Saints are so dangerously powerful I thought
it might be a bad idea to let him participate,
but it looks like he had everything under control
from the start.
Apparently, you were worried for nothing
'cause that was awesome!
[CHAPATI] Outstanding! This is a new MPF record!
Jura has proven that the title of "Wizard Saint"
should never be taken lightly!
I knew he was strong, but yowza!
He may be on the same level as Gildarts!
[giggles]
[MAVIS] True, but let's not forget that someone down there
has Gildarts' blood running through their veins!
[CHAPATI] The final challenger is Fairy Tail
Team B's Cana Alberona!
You're so sweet saving the best for last.
[CHAPATI] I certainly wouldn't want to follow Jura,
that's for sure!
[MATO] Alright! Do your best, punkin!
[mumbles]
She's completely plastered.
We'll be lucky if she scores more than Hibiki.
You never know, if she can beat Millianna,
then she'll nab third place!
[PANTHERLILY] Why is she stripping?
[MAKAROV] Uh!
Now, the grand finale!
Wait!
I know that emblem!
Uh. First master?
I lent it to her for this special occasion!
Now she's sure to win!
Aaahhh...
[CANA] It's time to assemble!
O' river of light, that's guided by fairies!
Wielding that spell is not easy.
It takes incredible concentration and power.
Cana has both. I know she won't fail us.
Shine your light!
So that I may vanquish the fangs of wickedness!
[CANA] Fairy... Glitter!
[IVAN] So Cana has the power to wield
one of the three Grand Fairy spells.
[CHAPATI] Oh my goodness! I can't believe it,
ladies and gentlemen! The MPF is history!
Her power is off the charts!
This guild is beyond incredible!
Fairy Tail has taken today's events by storm!
Is this their true strength?
Can anyone stop them now?
There's no stoppin' us!
We've just started to rock your world!
Fairy Tail will be number one again!
[CROWD cheering]
[MATO] This changes everything.
I'll have to put a little more thought into my plans.
Here's the battle line-up, Boss.
I got a feeling you'll find it very interesting.
[ALEXEI] Yes, this one in particular.
It would appear there are some true connoisseurs
among the event management.
It's about time we got started.
Raven Tail's true objective is almost within reach.
[NATSU] If you're feelin' pu-pu-pumped,
let me hear ya say, "meow!"
[HAPPY] Meow, meo-huh? What are you doing?
[NATSU] Thinking up a cheer song for Mini-Anna!
[HAPPY] Okay, first off, her name is "Millianna."
Second, she's the competition, dufus!
And third, why would you think to make a song
in the first place?
[NATSU] I'm sick of ordinary cheering.
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: "Laxus versus Alexei!"
[NATSU] "Zip-Zap! Thunderclap!
Lightnin' up your butt! Watch out, ya'll!"
[HAPPY] Is that supposed to be a Laxus song?
