[NATSU] Previously, on Fairy Tail!
[HAPPY] We've had a few run-ins with the Sabertooth guild,
even before the pre-lims. Some good, some bad.
Then Natsu went ballistic, stormed into their inn,
and challenged their Master to an all-out duel!
[NATSU] Things were getting good until my plan was interrupted.
[GRAY] Yeah right, I'm pretty sure you never had a plan.
And shouldn't you be focusing on day four
of the Games instead of gloating?
[NATSU] Wendy's match ended in a draw. And Erza, Cana, and Laxus
put on one heck of a show!
[HAPPY] I wonder what the next big game is gonna be like.
For some reason I've got a bad feeling about it.
[muffled laughter]
[FAIRY TAIL] Cheers!
Look out world! Fairy Tail's back in action!
Aye!
Just remember, this isn't the guild hall.
Anything we wreck, we have to pay for.
It's safe to say I take after my old man.
Yeah, yeah, we're all very impressed.
You totally destroyed the competition today!
[GRAY] Thanks. When did I do that?
Erza made beating those monsters look easy.
But I barely managed to get a draw.
Don't be so hard on yourself, you were wonderful!
In fact, you really impressed everyone.
Mhmmm. You were really somethin' out there!
[LUCY] I should have known you'd heal super fast.
Tell us, what's your secret?
Actually, I owe it to Wendy and Ms. Porlyusica.
Elfman's the opposite.
Their healing magic hardly seems to help him at all.
Our brother's a sad case.
[ELFMAN sneezes]
'Kay, that hurt. Guess someone out there's
talking about what a manly guy I am.
Do I look like a pillow or something to you?!
Get offa me!
No, I'm not worried about him. Not one bit.
Has she been with me... this entire time?
[ELFMAN] What a woman.
[HAPPY] Naval Battle!
We're Booze Barrel Surfing Champions!
Aye, Sir!
[JET] Hey that's dangerous!
[DROY] Hit the deck!
[WENDY, CARLA, and HAPPY yell]
You lookin' for a knuckle sandwich?
[NATSU] Fine, you can ride it!
You're missin' the point!
In that case, I'll have a go at it!
[chuckles]
[JUVIA] Looking cool, honey-cicle! Kisses!
[GRAY] Ah!
[JET] Man, talk about a party foul!
Enough! Watch! This is how you barrel surf!
[JET] You're gonna break your neck!
[DROY] Someone stop this madness!
Aw, calm down. Erza's got this.
You wanna take a shot at it, Lu?
I would, but I'm wearing a skirt.
[ERZA] Augh!
Oh yeah? Well, it looks like someone doesn't mind
baring it all for the world to see.
[ALL laughing]
[LEVY] Even now, I remember it all so clearly.
Lucy...
[NATSU] Here goes, Lisanna!
[LEVY] All of the eating and drinking.
The singing and dancing. We ended day three in pure joy.
[commotion]
[LECTOR] Hey, Sting.
Hm?
What's up? Aren't you tired?
Naw, not really.
[STING] I get the feeling I'll get to fight Natsu tomorrow.
I've been waiting for this chance for seven years.
[STING] I'm too excited to sleep.
[LECTOR] Hm. You got this thing, no doubt about it!
[LISLIE] You and Kagura have been acting weird
ever since this afternoon.
Did something happen today?
You could say that.
Hm?
[MILLIANNA] I don't understand.
Why is Fairy Tail harboring Jellal?
Does Erzy even know about this?
[LISLIE] Well, whatever it is that's got you down...
you can talk to me. Being guildmates means
that we're always there for each other
Thank you. But I'll be okay.
It doesn't have anything to do with the tournament.
[LISLIE] Uh, Milli, y-you sure you're all right?
[MILLIANNA] I just really wanna win this thing.
Y'know, I love this guild with all my heart.
So I want to work harder. For everyone's sake.
Sergeant Yukino Aguria reporting for duty, Sir.
[LEVY] As the night of day three came to an end,
all of our feelings and ambitions became intertwined.
[LEVY] With each passing moment, we drew closer to it.
Only four days remained until... calamity.
[cheering]
[CHAPATI] It's a sunny day for magic and mayhem!
We're ready to kick off day four's
contest with a bang!
Today's game is called "Naval Battle!"
That's right, folks! Strap yourself in
for an exciting skirmish in the sea!
The battlefield is a large ball of water!
If you get pushed out, you lose the match!
The last contestant left swimming
will be declared the winner!
However, when only two competitors
remain inside the battlefield,
a special rule will come into play!
[CHAPATI] We call it the "Five-Minute" rule.
In this instance, if one of the remaining challengers
exits the ring within the first five minutes
of the "final showdown," they will get last place!
So the game essentially becomes
an underwater sumo match.
This will be spectacular!
Thank you for having me here!
Today's guest is the head of the
Scheherazade acting troupe, Mr. Lavian!
[CHAPATI] Looks like the challengers are chosen!
From Lamia Scale, it's Shelia!
I won't settle for a draw today! I'm winning this!
[CHAPATI] Jenny from Blue Pegasus hits the waves!
You'll try. But I'll succeed!
[CHAPATI] From Mermaid Heel, it's Lislie!
Underestimate me and you'll lose it all!
[CHAPATI] Also joining the fray is Juvia from Fairy Tail Team B!
Water and I go hand-in-hand.
No one will beat me while Gray is watching.
[MINERVA] Minerva of Sabertooth at your service.
[CROWD cheers]
[CHAPATI] Just listen to that crowd!
Sounds like we've got a fan favorite here!
[YAJIMA] With this change, Sabertooth's team now
consists of its five strongest.
[LAVIAN] It's an all-star ensemble, that's for sure!
[CHAPATI] Lastly, the Celestial bombshell
from Fairy Tail Team A, Lucy!
I can't lose this one either. I let my friends down
the first day, but that won't happen again!
[CHAPATI] The scenery doesn't get
much better than this, folks!
Each team has sent a swimsuit-clad
female challenger to represent them!
[LAVIAN] Such beautiful, enticing ladies!
Ah! I can't thank you enough!
Hold up. What about me, man? I'm here, too!
Eh. Who cares?
Aw, come on, that's harsh!
[CHAPATI] It's a deep-sea rumble!
Try to stay in the water for as long as you can!
I hope you're ready, ladies,
'cause the Naval Battle is about to begin!
This is your chance, Lucy, go get 'em!
If she uses Aquarius she could take 'em all out at once.
Let's cheer for her as hard as we can.
Right!
I think Juvia's gonna win this one,
I mean, she was made for this kinda stuff!
Don't be so sure. Lucy has a whole slew of
Celestial Spirits she can call on besides Aquarius.
[JET] I don't think we should count that
Lislie girl out, either.
Let's not forget that she's got "Mermaid"
in her guild name.
And I wouldn't put it past that Sabertooth girl
to try some underhanded trick either.
Good luck, Lu! You can do it!
[gong rings]
[CHAPATI] There's the gong! Let the Naval Battle begin!
Guess I'm gonna get the party started this round!
Open, Gate of the Water Bearer!
[LUCY] Aquarius!
What the--?
A Spirit!
[chuckles]
A fellow mermaid, huh? This is getting interesting!
[screams]
This is my domain, you brazen bimbos!
[SHELIA, JENNY, and LISLIE yell] [ROCKER] That's Wild!
My turn. Water Cyclone!
Okay, is it my imagination,
or did Juvia just take on Aquarius?
This game is already crazy!
How awesome! I wonder which one of them is stronger!
Give it your all, Juvia!
Lucy, you could tone it down just a pinch, okay?
And Jenny, I know you've got more power than that,
get the lead out!
I think seven years of snoozin's made your
cheerleading kinda rusty.
Alright, big mouth, who do you think
we should be cheering for?
That's obvious.
Put Juvia in water and that's all she wrote; game over.
It's been awhile, hasn't it, Aquarius?
Don't think I'll hold back
just because we're acquaintances.
I wouldn't dream of it.
Man, Aquarius is kicking all sorts of butt!
She can even hold her own against Juvia's power!
I was just thinking... the most impressive thing to me
is that Juvia's standing up to Aquarius' power.
We're even?
I won't lose here! My darling is watching!
I couldn't live with myself if I failed.
It looks like the fight isn't the only thing
Juvia has on her mind.
[ERZA] You know how she feels about you.
It's not like she hides it.
She deserves a straight answer.
Juvia.
My rival!
For the last time, I don't want him!
Hmmm.
They are really goin' at it!
They're way too busy to deal with anybody else.
Which means... this is my chance!
No boys allowed!
That's not Wild!
[ROCKER] Aaahhh--uh!
[CHAPATI] Quatro Puppy is out of the game!
Jenny caught Rocker completely off guard!
The crowd couldn't be happier about
his disqualification 'cause now they get what they
really wanted all along; an all-girl bikini battle!
[LAVIAN] Thank you very much! Thank you very much!
Oh, sweet heavens, thank you!
Do I mean nothin'? Nobody loves Wild?
What a cheap shot. I guess that's one way to win.
[MIRAJANE giggles]
Yes, it certainly is a unique fighting style, isn't it?
Yeah. Pretty sure that wasn't a compliment.
I better kick things up a notch!
Huh?
Never underestimate chubby power, kid!
[ALL] Whoa!
Okay, this is taking way too long.
I gotta get outta here.
But... I need you! What could possibly be
more important than helping me win this?
My man.
[LUCY] Again?
Apparently Aquarius has decided to abandon her
wizard to rendezvous with her boyfriend!
Ah, the sweet vigor of youth.
How cliché. Ugh!
[laughs nervously]
Well fought, but without your trump card...
you're through!
[screams]
I could use some help here!
I'm sorry we're late. Are you okay, Lucy?
[cheering]
We're your sexy defenders, Princess!
Uh! That was close!
[cheering]
Now that's what I call entertainment!
Summon all of your pets! They can't help you!
Stay strong, you two! She's incredibly powerful!
This would be much easier if we were
on solid ground, but my Princess' will is my command!
I'll try my best, too!
You wanna play with a big girl, blondie?
Sounds good to me! Bring it!
[BOTH] Huh?
Keep ignoring me and you'll wind up on your butts!
Go get 'em!
[CHAPATI] Little Wendy from Fairy Tail looks like
she wants in on the action! How cute!
[YAJIMA] Her fight did end in a draw yesterday.
[CHAPATI] I bet she wants another go at Shelly-welly
so she can settle the score once and for all!
[WENDY] Nuh-uh! I do not feel that way!
I didn't realize Wendy was here!
Oh, I'd love to watch her in action!
She was such a help to me in the past when she
shooed away those lay-abouts from my beloved theater.
Hear that, Fairy Tail? The public wants more
wonderful Wendy, and we won't accept a substitute!
[LAVIAN] Trade her for the pig-tailed bimbo, stat!
Thank you very much.
Bite me!
It's time I stopped pulling my punches.
I'll take all of you out in one fell swoop... with this!
My newest and most powerful technique,
unleashed by my Second Origin
and refined by my lover's heart!
"Darling Gray Love!"
Don't use me!
[JENNY, LISLIE, and SHELIA scream]
Ah!
Aah! Uh!
[chuckles]
I don't know if my wool wall can take much more of this!
Princess! Hold on tight!
[CHAPATI] Look at her go! Juvia's pushed three opponents
out of bounds simultaneously!
[CHAPATI] If she keeps this up, she's sure to be
the Queen of the Naval Battle!
Aw, man. I thought I could hold my own
in a water fight, but instead I ended up all wet.
It's fine! You did your best!
[JUVIA] That was perfect! He has to have fallen for me
after seeing my love in action!
[JUVIA] Why does he look sick?
Uh oh.
Juvia!
[JUVIA groans]
[CHAPATI] After a valiantly fought battle,
Juvia ends up outside the ring!
She finishes in third place and scores six points for her team!
What a klutz.
Love'll do that to ya.
Come now. She was doing great for a bit!
[chuckles]
[STING] M'lady sure is mischievous.
She could have won right at the start,
but she let them take each other out
so she could conserve her magic.
That Fairy Tail girl doesn't stand a chance.
[CHAPATI] Only Minerva and Lucy remain!
But where did Lucy's Celestial Spirits go?
[YAJIMA] I'm assuming she sent them away in order
to preserve her magic power.
[CHAPATI] It's one-on-one! Will Sabertooth take the gold?
Or will Fairy Tail snatch it away?
[CHAPATI] The Five-Minute Rule is now in effect!
If either contestant exits the ring before the timer runs out,
they will be ranked in last place!
[YAJIMA] Is there a reason for this special rule?
[LAVIAN] You've got to keep your audience on the
edge of their seats, thank you!
That's the golden rule of show business!
[MINERVA] End of the line. I could send you flying
out of this ring in the time it takes to blink.
But the people came for a show,
and I intend to deliver.
Try to survive. And be sure to scream.
[LUCY] What in the world?
[LUCY screaming]
Pure heat? Underwater?
Lucy, no!
I've never seen that kinda magic before!
[LUCY screaming]
I feel so heavy. Like I'm made of lead.
I need to get a Spirit out here, pronto.
[LUCY] My keys. Where did they go?
Huh?
[LUCY] No way!
[LUCY yells]
[CHAPATI] Oh no! Lucy's headed straight for the boundary
and into last place!
Awe.
What's with this heat? It's scorching me!
Come on!
If she can't get her keys back, this fight is over!
[LUCY] I can take it.
Hit me with your best shot!
[yells]
I'll keep fighting!
Oh, really? You're sure you don't
want out of this torment?
You want me to give up? Not happening.
Hmmm?
If I quit, after my friends fought so hard,
it'd be worse than betrayal!
I won't do it!
Hurt me all you want, I don't give a damn!
I'll win!
My guild will be number one again!
[CHAPATI] Whoa. They're just floating there.
Minerva has stopped her relentless attacks!
But... she was so close to victory.
[ding]
[CHAPATI] The timer is up!
Yes!
[CHAPATI] Now it's simply a battle for the top spot!
[screaming]
Lucy!
[MINERVA] You haven't learned your place, have you?
Maybe this will teach you who you're dealing with!
[MINERVA] We are Sabertooth, the mightiest guild
beneath the heavens!
You belong... on the ground!
[LUCY screams]
[CHAPATI] There's no way Lucy can recover from that!
Where'd she go?
She just reappeared in front of Minerva!
But was it her doing or her opponent's?
That chick's fightin' dirty!
Why would she stop herself from winning?
This is just sick!
All she's doing is torturing her.
[CHAPATI] Lucy is getting pummeled!
Even without magic, Minerva is decimating her
with blow after blow!
[LAVIAN] How horrible.
Someone, please, stop this senseless brutality!
I would really appreciate it!
[CHAPATI] Since the match is underwater,
there are no knock-downs!
All Lucy can do is take the relentless barrage!
Stop it!
[STING, OLGA, and RUFUS chuckle]
[ALL] You guys're gonna pay for this!
Have you learned your lesson,
or should I keep beating it in?
I'm fine with that. Remember this the next time
[MINNERVA] you think of defying me!
Stop the match, now!
We can't lose the Celestial wizard!
Call it off, before it's too late!
[bell dinging]
[CHAPATI] The referee has stopped the fight!
The Naval Battle is over!
Sabertooth takes first place with
an overwhelming show of brutal force!
It doesn't look like Lucy is moving.
Can we please get the paramedics on the field?
[ALL] Lucy!
[NATSU] Lucy!
[NATSU] Finally!
[HAPPY] We get to see who's inside the bunny suit!
Uh...
[HAPPY and NATSU] What?!
[NATSU] No, is that?
[HAPPY] So, uh, when is it okay to say something makes you
wanna puke your guts out?
[NATSU] When you're motion sick? I dunno.
Why are you asking now?
[HAPPY] No other reason?
[NATSU] Yeah, when you eat too much.
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: "A Parfum for You!"
[HAPPY] You can't say it about people?
[NATSU] Not really.
[HAPPY] I see. It's one of those feelings that can't be
expressed with words.
