[CROWD cheering]
[LUCY whimpers]
[WENDY] You're finally awake! We were starting to get worried.
I'm fine. What match are they on?
[WENDY] Far as I can tell, they're between matches.
And it sounds like Blue Pegasus won.
[CARLA] The second round should be starting any minute now.
Lamia Scale's going up against Mermaid Heel.
Oh, good. I was worried that
I might've missed Natsu's fight.
There's no need to worry, he said he's gonna
make sure to come by and check on you before he goes in.
Until then...
why don't you try to get some rest?
[CARLA] You just focus on getting your strength back.
We'll wake you when he gets here.
You're the best. Thank you, Carla.
All right! It's time for the second match!
Let's hear it for Lamia Scale's...
[CHAPATI] Lyon and Yuka!
[CROWD cheering]
And here come the lovely ladies of Mermaid Heel.
[CHAPATI] Give it up for Kagura and Millianna!
Are you feelin' pretty pumped?
[MILLIANNA] You can cheer louder than that!
C'mon, lemme hear ya!
[CHAPATI] So what do you think, Mr. Yajima?
Who's going to come out on top?
[YAJIMA] Honestly, this one could go either way.
I can assure you it's going to be an exciting match.
Lyon and Yuka are formidable foes!
Stay focused. Okay, Millianna?
Heh. Well, well, you're rootin' for
Mermaid Heel now, are ya?
Yeah. I've known Millianna a long time.
I consider her a friend.
Can you blame me for supporting her?
What about you? Your ol' buddy Lyon is about to
go to battle for Lamia Scale.
Dontcha want to help him out a little?
Why should I? Doesn't make sense to help
another guild, not when our teams are rivals.
[ERZA] What's the matter, Natsu?
It's just that Lucy, Elfman, and the others...
prob'ly wish they could watch the matches, too.
Hmmm.
In that case, we'll just have to try
and remember all the details.
That way we can tell them about it later.
Yeah, great idea. Okay! Let's do it!
[HAPPY] Battle of Dragon Slayers!
Just lettin' you know that I'm gonna be
rootin' for Mermaid Heel.
And that's only because I've known Millianna since
the whole Tower of Heaven thing went down.
Well, I'm gonna be cheering for Lamia Scale.
It's the least I can do since they're always helping us.
Yes, indeed. It's very noble of you
to honor them in that way.
You do that kid, meanwhile we're gonna root
for Mermaid Heel 'cause they're hotties!
[LEVY sighs]
Lemme guess, you're gonna be cheering for Lyon, eh Juvia?
So has he confessed his undying love to you yet?
Aw c'mon, you can tell us,
inquiring minds wanna know!
Well, kinda. I guess he did.
[JUVIA] If only I was on the same team as Gray.
What I wouldn't give to fight alongside him!
That's it! There's still a chance it could happen!
If someone on our team is injured,
then someone else will have to take their place!
You're the only partner for me! Let's become one!
Whaddya say?
Yes! I'd be happy to be your partner, my love!
[JUVIA] What's wrong with me?
I'm a horrible person for hoping that my fellow
guild members get hurt so I can be close to Gray!
I care about him so much
that I'll do anything to be by his side!
[JUVIA] Anything!
But not if it means my friends will suffer!
I'm so torn, I don't know what to do!
[LEVY] Uh. No need to freak out, okay?
Is there something that's troubling you?
If so, you can tell us.
You'll feel a lot better if you get it off your chest.
[JUVIA muffled yells]
[MAKAROV] We're getting close. Only one more match until
Fairy Tail finally goes head-to-head with Sabertooth.
Well, I'm not worried because I believe in them!
[MAVIS] They'll be fine. Let's sit down and enjoy the--
Waaa-hohaaa!
First Master!
How about we just pretend that didn't happen
and go back to watching the match, okay?
[MILLIANNA] It's crazy to think Jellal could be out there
somewhere, sitting in the stands watching us fight.
[KAGURA] Millianna.
You need to focus.
'Kay! I swear I will!
Hmmm.
Tell you what, I'm going to let you take a shot
at them first. I'll be standing by if you need me.
[MILLIANNA] Hey, wait! All alone?
[KAGURA] You need to gain more experience.
This is your opportunity to show me what you can do.
Don't treat it like a game, it's a serious fight.
[KAGURA] Don't let me down, Millianna.
[MILLIANNA] I won't! I'll beat 'em, you just watch!
We can't get lazy just because they're girls, ya hear?
They're tough so we need to give it
everything we've got in this battle.
Especially if we want to beat Kagura. That's it!
[LYON] If I claim victory for Lamia Scale...
then Juvia will fall in love with me!
[YUKA] Aw, geez. Get your priorities straight, man.
'Kay boys! You'd better kick some butt this round
or I'll take ya both for a spin!
[MATO] Remember you've only got thirty minutes to seal the deal!
Now, let the match begin!
[MILLIANNA] If you snooze, you lose!
Bad Kitty Restraint Tube!
[BETH] Whoa, is Millianna gonna fight 'em all by herself?
I don't think she's ready to take on
Lamia Scale on her own.
Well, Kagura seems to think that she can handle it.
[LISLIE] Let's just hope she's right.
I don't need any help with these guys! Ha!
It's gonna be so embarrassing if she beats both of them.
We'll be the laughing stock of the tournament.
[OHBA] I don't know what you're up to, Mermaid Heel...
but we're not gonna let you get away with it!
Go get 'em, Lyon and Yuka! Show those hussies what happens
when you mess with Laymia Scale!
Hey, why's Kagura just standing there?
Good question. Bet I can get her to fight.
[LYON] Ice Make Eagle!
I'm your opponent, not her!
Wave!
Holy!
[MILLIANNA] Kitten Blaster!
What? That was just a fake-out?
[MILLIANNA] I've got you now!
Kitty Punch! Kitty Punch! Kitty Punch! Kitty Punch!
Man, That's gotta hurt! Who would've thought
such a cute, little cat-girl could be so incredibly vicious?
Whoa, that's one hard-core kitty!
She's definitely not holding back in this fight.
She must feel more confident knowing that
Kagura's there if she needs her.
[MILLIANNA] What's the matter, boys?
You're not scared, are you?
Then again, maybe you should be
'cause I've been training with Kagura daily!
[MILLIANNA] Special technique.
Kitty Scratch Attack!
Aw, what's the matter?
Did I give you a boo-boo?
[YUKA and LYON grunt]
I certainly didn't see this comin'!
Millianna is actually holding her own against those two.
And they're a couple of Lamia Scale's strongest!
I think it's those nimble, cat-like movements of hers.
The way she bounces around in battle would throw anyone off.
Stupid cat-girl!
I'm gonna rip out those claws of hers.
If we wanna win this round,
we'll have to step up our game!
Bad Kitty Restraint Tube!
Here we go!
[YUKA] It's useless! My waves can nullify any magic attack!
Oh, yeah? Then nullify this!
[MILLIANNA] Bad Kitty Restraint Tube! Double! Triple!
Mmmm...
[MILLIANNA] Lots of 'em!
You can throw more than one of 'em at a time?
I can show you just how many
if you really want me to!
[grunts]
[LYON] Ice Make Eagle!
She's throwing some more!
That's right! Just try and stop me!
[grunts]
[MILLIANNA] Well, boys? Are you ready to surrender yet?
[LYON] Now what'll we do?
At this rate...
I'll never be able to impress Juvia!
You have gotta be kidding me. Get a grip!
[LYON] It's not over yet. I've got more than skill;
I have intelligence!
You may be faster, but I'm much smarter!
[LYON] Ice Make Mouse!
[MILLIANNA] Meow! Meow!
[giggles]
[MILLIANNA] It's a mousey! Yay! Hey, wait up!
[laughing]
That was a dirty trick, jerkface!
You need to chill out, kitty!
[LYON] Rage, oh blizzard!
It's freezing.
[MILLIANNA] Cats hate being stuck out in the cold!
Huh? Oh! That looks warm!
Cats love snuggling up to the heater!
It's so nice and toasty! Meow!
I could stay here forever.
[MILLIANNA] Cut it out, ice freak
or I'm gonna scratch out your eyeballs!
Ugh! Talk about playing dirty;
how dare he torment Millianna like that?
Well, that Lyon has quite the reputation.
He's deviously cunning.
Uh, don't ya think you might be
givin' him too much credit?
[LYON] Did you see that, Juvia?
Were you impressed by my clever strategy?
[LYON] That's not the reaction I expected.
[KAGURA] Lyon has a reputation as a skilled wizard,
but has yet to land a single attack on Millianna.
[MATO] Oh, wow! I knew Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale
were tough competitors, but this match is
even more exciting than I expected!
[laughs]
Hurry up! Quit dillydallying and finish them off already!
You had better defeat them,
or I'll spin you 'til you're sick!
What's it like to be spun by the ol' hag?
It's one of the worst feelings in the world.
It makes you so dizzy that you
can't even tell which way is up.
The hag's right; we need to hurry.
It feels like we've been fighting them for a while.
We're running out of time.
Well, in that case... I was saving this spell
for our battle with Kagura, but...
Ice Make... Snow Tiger!
[screaming]
I like kitty cats, but tigers not so much!
Aaah!
[MILLIANNA] I'm so sorry, Kagura.
[KAGURA] Unfortunately, it seems I'm going
to have to fight after all.
We're so glad you could join us! Let's go!
Less talking, more fighting!
Wave!
[KAGURA] Attacks that nullify an opponent's magic? Impressive.
[KAGURA] But against me... it's pointless!
This match is getting intense, folks!
[CHAPATI] Kagura doesn't even have to draw her sword
to lay the smack down on her opponent!
Heck, she's not even using her magic!
Wave!
[KAGURA] Too slow!
[cheering]
Poor Yuka couldn't even get in a single hit
before he was knocked out cold!
Lamia Scale's in trouble now!
[CHAPATI] Looks like it's gonna be Kagura versus Lyon
in a one-on-one battle!
[CROWD cheering]
She defeated Yuka without drawing her sword.
She's more powerful than I thought.
Kagura Mikazuchi.
It's clear that she's a skilled fighter.
She's not bad but I bet she wouldn't last a second
against my Iron Dragon Sword.
[chuckles]
Hey, do you think that Lyon's gonna be all right?
Well, I hope so, but he had a hard time against Millianna,
and now he's up against Kagura, who's even stronger.
[OHBA] Watch your tongue! You have no idea
what kind of power he has buried under that cool façade.
Lyon! Don't let that stone-faced strumpet
get the best of you!
Make her pay for what she did to poor Yuka!
[KAGURA] I've heard a lot about you.
Apparently you once called yourself the "Cold Emperor"
and you performed a dangerous ritual in
the hopes of fighting the demon Deliora.
[LYON] That was a long time ago.
Now I'm just Lyon Bastia, a wizard with Lamia Scale.
Nothing more, nothing less.
You know something?
You remind me a lot of myself years ago.
But that's not a compliment, because I was consumed
by bitterness and hatred back then.
I have a question for you.
[KAGURA] I noticed that you never
attacked Millianna directly.
Were you holding back just because she's a girl?
Or were you worried that in doing so
you might reveal your secrets to me?
Good question. Maybe you'll find out
the answer during our battle!
[LYON] Ice Make Dragonfly!
[LYON] Ice Make Eagle!
Just one swing and... he's down!
[CHAPATI] Can he get back up or is this the end of the match?
[GRAY] What the hell do you think you're doing?
And you call yourself Master Ur's student!
If she saw you right now, she'd be completely embarrassed!
C'mon, I know you can do better than that!
Are you going to attack?
Because I thought we came here to fight!
I'm losing my patience!
[LYON] Me, too. So let's hurry and get this over with!
[LYON] Ice Make Snow Tiger!
And now, Ice Make Snow Ape!
Ice Make Snow Dragon!
I doubt that even you are capable of
avoiding three of them.
[KAGURA] Do you honestly think this is
going to be enough to beat me?
You're wrong!
[BETH] Doggone! There's her special
gravity changin' technique!
Yep! One of the many tricks she's got up her sleeve!
Normally she doesn't use that move
unless she's feeling threatened.
This Lyon must really be challenging her.
Wow. She's so powerful!
[KAGURA grunts]
[KAGURA] You're done for!
[bell dinging]
[MATO] You know what that bell means!
I'm afraid your time is up! I declare this match a draw!
[CHAPATI] You heard the man, ladies and gentlemen!
Looks like we've got yet another draw on our hands!
[BETH] Aw shucks! But we were so close!
[ARAÑA] Yeah, no kidding!
She was just about to finish him off!
[LISLIE] Hey, a draw's better than a loss. It's all good.
If Kagura's okay with how it turned out,
then we should be, too.
[SHERRY] I thought Lyon was a goner for a second there.
[SHELIA] Yeah. He was literally saved by the bell.
That numbskull would've won the match
if he didn't have girls on the brain!
He's in big trouble!
Hope he's ready for a mighty good spinnin' from me!
'Cause that's just what he's gettin'!
[YUKA] Man, Kagura's tough. Holy crap.
Yes but something tells me she's holding back.
[YUKA] You may be right...
but every year it's the same story with her.
Nobody's ever seen her go all out.
Sorry I let you down, Kagura.
There's no need to apologize. Lyon was strong.
But If this had been an actual fight
rather than just a match...
you would be dead.
[KAGURA] You need to build your strength, Millianna.
So let's train even harder.
[MILLIANNA] 'Kay!
[CHAPATI] The crowd is still going wild over our last match,
but the next one is sure to be just as exhilarating!
That means it's our turn now!
Yep! We're up!
It's about damn time!
Here we go!
We're gonna kick some ass!
Please promise me you won't get hurt
out there, Natsu and Gajeel!
No injuries! The last thing I want is for
[JUVIA] something bad to happen to either of you!
Why're you so worried about them getting injured?
Hm?
Hey. Are ya feelin' any better?
[LUCY] I'm getting there.
Is your match about to start?
Yep. And I'm gonna win it for sure.
Natsu?
[inaudible dialogue]
Sorry to burst in on you like this.
We just wanted to check on you and see how you're feeling.
Oh, hello, Natsu.
Thanks for takin' care of her.
I know she's in good hands.
Sure! Good luck with your match! Have fun!
[CARLA] Oh my. Look at that grin!
What were you two talking about?
You ready to rock?
All set! Now let's go win this thing
and make everybody in Fairy Tail proud!
[HAPPY] Natsu!
[NATSU] Hey, Happy. What's up?
[CHAPATI] And now, at long last, we've come to the battle
that everybody's been waiting for!
[CHAPATI] One guild was considered
the strongest in Fiore seven years ago,
and the other currently holds the title.
This is gonna be a great match.
It's Fairy Tail's Natsu and Gahjeel
versus Sabertooth's Sting and Rogue!
You're about to witness a showdown of epic proportions!
These aren't just any wizards, they're Dragon Slayers!
--[FROSCH laughing] --[LECTOR] Go get 'em, Sting!
[STING] I've been lookin' forward to this all my life.
[IGNEEL] White dragon, Weisslogia.
Shadow dragon, Skiadrum. Who will emerge victorious?
The Dragon Slayers you raised or my Natsu?
Have the humans surpassed dragons?
Or is that an unattainable dream?
Soon we will be forced to take action.
The Dragon King Festival draws near.
The crowd is gettin' super hyped up!
And I don't blame them!
Go give "'em a thrashin'," you guys!
Get some hits in for us, too.
Win this one for Fairy Tail!
Sounds like they're about to get started out there!
I'm sure Natsu's gonna win.
I have faith in him.
[CHAPATI] This is it, ladies and gentlemen!
The Dragon Slayers are on the battlefield!
Now the only question is, who will be triumphant?
The fairies or the tigers?
You face a formidable foe.
You'll need to give it everything you've got.
[STING] All these years, I've dreamed of fighting Natsu,
and now I finally get the chance.
[MATO] Everyone's dying to find out who's gonna win this round!
No pressure!
Remember, you've got thirty minutes!
Let the match begin!
Ya ready?
Yeah!
Ugh!
[NATSU grunts]
♪
White Dragon Roar!
A laser?
[ROGUE] Shadow Dragon Slash!
[GAJEEL chuckles]
[STING] Rogue!
Ah!
[grunts]
[NATSU] Fire Dragon Wing Attack!
[CHAPATI] Whoa! I can't believe what's happening
right before my eyes! The illustrious Sting and Rogue,
the Twin Dragons of Fiore's mightiest guild,
have been overwhelmed by Fairy Tail!
You guys're tough, that's for sure.
Makes it more fun.
Gajeel.
Tell me somethin'. Did you really defeat
your dragons with that measly power of yours?
We didn't just "defeat" them.
We killed our dragons with our bare hands!
[NATSU] But didn't you think of them as your parents, too?
[STING] That's none of your business!
But if you losers wanna see our dragon-slaying power,
I'll be happy to show it to ya!
[STING] White Drive.
[ROGUE] Shadow Drive.
[grunts]
[STING] Here we go!
[NATSU] Finally! At long last!
[HAPPY] It's here!
[NATSU] It's my turn!
[HAPPY] It's your turn!
[HAPPY and NATSU] To kick some butt!
[NATSU] I don't care if they're new-generation
Dragon Slayers or whatever!
I'm gonna wipe the floor with that
blond-haired bozo's stupid face!
[HAPPY] Aw, yeah! Go, Natsu! You can do it!
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: "Four Dragons!"
[NATSU] And I'm gonna pulverize those two dark-haired guys!
You just watch me!
[HAPPY] But one of 'em is Gajeel. Oh, whatever.
Good luck out there!
