Have you learned your lesson, or should I keep beating it in?
I'm fine with that. Remember this the next time
[MINERVA] 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?
[GRAY and NATSU] Lucy!
[GRAY and NATSU grunt]
Come on, Lucy! Please say something!
What in the hell is your problem?
You went way too far!
Take the Celestial wizard to the infirmary at once!
Hold on! I need to give her special emergency treatment!
I'll help you!
Just hang in there, Lucy!
What a scornful expression.
Here we go!
She's hurt pretty bad, so let's combine our powers.
You can glare at me all you want,
if it makes you feel better.
But remember that I acted in full compliance
with the rules of the competition.
That may be true...
but you went way outside the bounds
of basic human decency.
[chuckles]
I was simply trying to entertain the crowd, that's all.
To be quite honest, you should be thanking me.
She got second place, didn't she?
[MINNERVA] She could never have done that without my help.
What?
What is going on down there?
Both teams are on the ground and ready to rumble!
[MALE 172A] Sweet bonus round action!
[MALE 172B] Sabertooth versus Fairy Tail!
They're both hot-tempered guilds,
but they need to play it cool right now.
The dramatic tension in the air is absolutely delicious!
Thank you very much!
Yeah. Well, I guess we shoulda seen this one
comin' from a mile away.
It was bound to happen, alright.
Since this isn't a part of the contest.
We should be ready to go down there and lend them a hand.
Aye, Sir!
Would you tomcats please calm down?
That's how we like it!
[NOVALI, SEMUS, and YAEGAR] Wild!
[MATO] This is most certainly a thrilling turn of events!
Do we join them?
I don't know.
Man.
[CROWD chanting "fight"]
Although you may be considered the strongest guild in Fiore,
you'd be wise to heed this warning.
[ERZA] Listen carefully.
Making an enemy of Fairy Tail is a decision
that you will regret.
[HAPPY] A Parfum for You!
She's gonna be okay, isn't she?
Any word on Lucy's condition?
Is she awake?
You guys came!
We may be on different teams,
but we're all in the same guild.
Laxus?
So, how is she?
She's not out of the woods yet,
but she'll pull through thanks to Wendy.
No, it wasn't just me, we're lucky Shelia
was there to help out, too.
Thank goodness.
I'm glad to hear she hasn't sustained
any lasting injuries.
They're gonna pay.
You can sure as hell bet on that one.
She's awake!
You guys. I'm sorry.
Say what? Why are you apologizing?
[LUCY] Because I screwed up again.
Are you kidding?
Second place is nothing to be sorry about.
We got eight points in that round!
Yes. Good job!
But, I lost my keys.
[HAPPY] I've got 'em right here.
Oh that's a relief. Thank you, Happy.
I think she's gonna be okay.
But we still can't let those guys
get away with this kinda crap.
I feel the exact same way.
Lousy buncha scumbags.
[door opens]
Master!
Unfortunate circumstances, but I'm glad both teams are here.
I have something to tell you.
I was just contacted by the games' organizers,
though I'm not sure if we'll be a help or hindrance to us,
we've been asked to consolidate our two teams into one.
Say what?
So we gotta be like everybody else now, huh?
Why are they doing that?
[MAKAROV] Since Raven Tail has been disqualified,
there are now seven teams remaining.
Having an odd number makes it difficult
to match up competitors for the battles.
Therefore, we've been ordered to do away
with the A and B groups and form a single
five-person team for the rest of the tournament.
So, we're losing five members.
But how will this affect our scores?
Mm.
We're only allowed to keep the lower one.
And that would be the thirty-five points from Team A.
But that's totally unfair!
Fair or not, the decision's been made,
so we'd better accept it.
Look on the bright side, this just means we're gonna
be able to put together an even more kick-ass team.
Well, I wish this woulda happened a little bit earlier.
Because the only thing we have left now
are two man battles, right?
You're wrong.
Traditionally, there is a mandatory day off.
Followed by a battle involving all members.
It's important to choose carefully.
No matter what happens, I'm gonna get revenge for Lucy!
If they think they can treat her like that,
I'll show 'em myself that they're dead wrong!
Day four's battle round is about to be underway.
And we'll soon find out who made the cut on team Fairy Tail!
You have a long history with the guild, Mr. Yajima.
Got any predictions on the final five?
No comment.
[CHAPATI] And once again, joining us is Mr. Lavian,
noted thespian and founder of the Scheherazade theatre.
[LAVIAN] Thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity!
But don't forget, today's team matches
are no mere stage combat.
That may be true, but they still require
a certain kind of choreography in their own right!
Let's get down to business and announce
the lineups for today's battles!
[CHAPATI] Now. Please turn your attention to the lacrima-trons!
Match one will be Blue Pegasus versus
the frisky Quattro Puppy!
[CHAPATI] Then on to round two, the ladies of Mermaid Heel
facing off against Lamia Scale!
And then what could be today's highlight,
Sabertooth against the new Fairy Tail!
[cheering]
[CHAPATI] So put your hands together for a big
Domus Flau welcome, and let's meet the Fairy Tail team!
Go get 'em, guys. For me.
We're all countin' on ya.
Master really did put together an amazing team.
Show 'em what you're made of!
Bring home a win!
It's just like I was saying before!
This team will surely get us back to number one again!
Mmmmmm.
The spirit of our guild is a truly unstoppable force.
[MAKAROV] And these five kids
embody that spirit wholeheartedly!
It's time to show the entire world
the real power our friendship can wield.
[cheering]
We've been waiting for this moment!
[CHAPATI] It's my pleasure to introduce...
[CHAPATI] The new Team Fairy Tail!
[CROWD cheering]
♪
With that kind of entrance, I'm not sure
the audience will be able to handle the anticipation
leading up to today's final match!
The fans are looking forward to it, that's for sure.
I'm thankful I get to be part of a day
filled with such drama!
[screaming and cheering]
The Celestial wizard isn't with them?
I would assume she's still recovering.
Listen. You'd better not try anything
as foolish as last time.
[ARCADIOS] Perish the thought.
I'll be the first to admit that was a misstep.
I intend to take more reliable measures from here on out.
[DARTON sighs]
[ARCADIOS] For now, let us enjoy the festival.
The project will commence in three days' time.
That damned Eclipse.
And then the world will be forever changed.
[DARTON] Is there no way we can put a stop to it?
We can't let Zeref wait much longer, can we?
[chuckles]
♪
I'm all fired up now.
♪
[DARTON] The Grand Magic Games.
[DARTON] Those who know history...
know that long ago, they went by another name.
[DARTON] The Dragon King Festival.
A feast of dragons, men, and sorcery.
[CHAPATI] Aright people! Are you ready for a magic battle?
[cheering]
[CHAPATI] First up... Blue Pegasus' Ichiya and Rabbit...
versus Quattro Puppy's Bacchus and Rocker!
[hiccups]
Watch out, we're...
[ALL] Wild!
Now let's show these fancy boys
what that really means.
We gotta get some points too.
It's cool.
All I want is to get my spirit shaken and stirred! Huh?
Eh-uhh!
[ICHIYA] Sirs?
[BACCHUS and ROCKER] Uhhh...
[CHAPATI] Wow. After all the animosity
of today's Naval Battle.
These fine gentlemen are putting civility on display.
[LAVIAN] What a beautiful gesture! Thank you very much!
[ROCKER] Did I just shake hands with a bunny?
[BACCHUS] Ya know, that guy smells pretty damn good.
Now, the time has come to share your
handsome face with the world!
Seriously?
We're finally gonna find out who he is?
[gasping]
It's so strange, but all the suspense is killing me.
Who's in there?
Would you two stop for just a second?
[EVE] Ichiya's just about to show us who's in the bunny suit!
Obscure yourself no more. Unmask your true glory.
[CROWD] Huh?
[ALL] Aaah...
[ALL] What?
[BACCHUS and ROCKER] Uh, whoa!
Holy crap!
That cat from Extalia!
[BOTH] Ready? Double Studmuffin Attack!
[MALE 172C] Eww, yuck!
[MALE 172D] What is that thing?
It's Nichiya!
Huh?
Sensual.
Yet, deadly parfum.
[ALL] Uh?
[ALL] Ughhh...
[groans]
Can it be true?
[BOTH] Ready? Double Studmuffin Attack!
I don't feel so good.
Pull yourself together!
That is so totally not wild!
I mean, is that crazy-looking cat-dude
even really a member of Blue Pegasus?
[ICHIYA chuckles]
Behold!
[NICHIYA meows] [CROWD] Whoa!
Of course, I made that darling little pussycat
an official member of our guild well before
the Grand Magic Games began!
Honestly, he's such a handsome creature it would be
practically criminal to turn him away, you know? Oh!
But how did Blue Pegasus even find him
in the first place?
Hm. 'Twas a stroke of true destiny.
A fate written in the stars themselves.
Yes, though it happened one sunny afternoon.
[ICHIYA] With an intoxicating parfum of new experience
hanging heavily in the air, I ventured into the forest.
I went in deep, but my search remained fruitless.
I asked myself this question...
"Is this the parfum of lost souls, man?"
I attempted to leave, but only found myself
getting even deeper inside.
Ravenous and thirsty, I collapsed to the ground.
[meowing]
[ICHIYA] But fortune smiled on me that day.
For as it turns out, this forest was home to
Exceeds who had come to Earth Land.
[NICHIYA] What an incredibly handsome human!
[ICHIYA] What an incredibly handsome cat!
Hi. Lost?
Uh-huh.
Is there some way I can help you?
Water, please.
Mm. Of course.
Ooh...
A fine idea indeed.
[ICHIYA] Surprisingly, this development was rich
with the parfum of a classic romantic drama!
Pardon me.
[laughs] That perked me up, man!
Glad to be of help, man!
Man.
[ICHIYA] My nostrils sing with the parfum
of flowering friendship!
[NICHIYA] Feel free to remain in this forest with me
until you've regained your sparkle!
And thus, as I predicted, the seed planted
that day blossomed into a beautiful pairing.
And we drink deep the parfum of memory.
[grunts]
--[BACCHUS] Ya! --[NICHIYA] Man!
No!
Man!
What happened? Can the cat even fight?
Of course he can!
The feline and I are one and the same!
[ICHIYA] Which means...
we should both share the same abilities!
[groans]
He's completely out of commission!
What a tragedy!
[BACCHUS and ROCKER] Wild.
Let's get this over with.
This victory couldn't have come at a better time.
We gotta get some points on the board.
[CHAPATI] It looks like it's rabbit season
here in Domus Flau!
It's two against one now.
So tragic and yet so thrilling!
[LAVIAN] Thank you very much!
Please, hold on just one moment!
Drillin' Rock For Ya!
Drunken Chop-Hanging Palm, Under Moon!
[ICHIYA] Man!
Ichiya.
Nichiya.
Last call, fancy boy!
Time to eat some dirt!
[ICHIYA] I'm sorry I dragged you into this battle. My mistake.
I should've known that you're a lover, not a fighter.
Drillin Rock For ya! Bam!
[ICHIYA] Man!
[ICHIYA] And yet... you chose the noble path
and fought bravely.
[ICHIYA] You put your handsome face in harm's way.
I've failed my most beautiful friend!
How could I have let you fall?
[groans]
[CHAPATI] Is that it? Did Bacchus deal the final blow?
Now Ichiya joins his furry teammate
on the floor of the arena,
and it's not looking good for Blue Pegasus.
[BOTH] What are we, boys?
[ALL] Wild!
[CHAPATI] Wait! It's not over yet! Ichiya appears to be
slowly getting up! Will he be able to stand?
[ICHIYA] I swear to you...
I won't let your struggle be in vain!
[ICHIYA] I will reveal the handsome face of justice!
[ICHIYA yells]
Muscle, muscle! Man! Man, man, muscle, muscle!
Muscle, man, man!
What the hell is this? How did he get so wild?
Maybe it's power potion?
To my dear friend. I dedicate the parfum of victory!
[All] Go get 'em!
[grunts]
[MATO] This is great! I never expected this fight
would be so emotional.
[BACCHUS AND ROCKER] Let's get wild!
Here I come with some Drillin' Rock For Ya!
My soul is shaken and stirred!
Drunken Chop-Hanging Palm!
Give it your all. But your attacks will melt...
against my Beautiful Dreamer!
[ICHIYA] Smile!
[BOTH] Huh?
And smash!
[gasps and groans]
[ALL] Uh...!
[CHAPATI] And from that devastating charm offensive,
Quattro Puppy is down!
The winner is Blue Pegasus!
[ICHIYA] Man!
[CROWD cheering]
He actually took down Bacchus?
Both him and his buddy. Man.
[GRAY] I guess he's not just an idiot.
[NATSU] He's totally awesome!
Talk about a stud-muffin. He rules.
Ichiya's the man, for sure.
What a hunk!
[EVE] I wanna be just like him!
Are you alright... my friend?
Man, my pride hurts.
[CHAPATI] That was an amazing match, don't you think?
Sure. If you say so.
[LAVIAN] The ending was far too sappy for my taste,
thank you very much.
[CHAPATI] And we're diving straight into round two
which puts Lamia Scale's Lyon and Yuka...
[CROWD cheers]
[CHAPATI] against Mermaid Heel's top dog Kagura,
and top cat Millianna!
[CROWD cheers]
Lyon and Kagura are fighting?
This is gonna be a good one.
[growls]
[HAPPY] And joining me today is guest commentator, Natsu.
Tell me, what are your thoughts on this matchup?
[NATSU] Lyon doesn't like Gray, so he can't be all that bad.
And Yuka is the eyebrow dude from Galuna
with the wavy magic, right?
[HAPPY] Uh-huh.
[NATSU] Now Kagura, naw, I got nothin'!
And I bet if you dress like a cat,
Milliana will hug ya to death!
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: "Battle of Dragon Slayers!"
[HAPPY] Thank you, Natsu. You shared with our viewers at home
your total lack of insight.
[NATSU] Ha-ha! That's what I do!
