[CHAPATI] We're smack in the middle of
day four's battle segment!
After Raven Tail was disqualified,
the two Fairy Tail teams combined into one.
Now, Natsu and Gajeel find themselves up against
Sting and Rogue of Sabertooth!
Since all four of them are Dragon Slayers,
this should prove to be one remarkably explosive match!
Who will be victorious?
The Fairies or the Tigers?
[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 want to see our dragon-slaying power,
I'll be happy to show it to ya!
White Drive.
[ROGUE] Shadow Drive.
[MAKAROV] The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, Sting and Rogue.
They may be Dragon Slayers, like Natsu and Gajeel,
but we still know nothing about their magic.
Predicting the outcome of this fight is all but impossible.
Especially now that they've finished testing
each other's strengths.
[MAVIS] This is where the fight really starts!
Let's cheer extra hard!
Your dying guild will be laid to rest.
Ready, Sting?
Yep.
[CHAPATI] The intense staring contest continues!
You could cut the tension in the arena with a butter knife!
[CHAPATI] Who will be the first to make a move?
[CHAPATI] Sabertooth's Sting springs into action!
Fairy Tail's Natsu barely manages to block!
Chew on my Holy White Judgment!
Salamander!
[CHAPATI] Look at that! No matter what Gajeel tries,
he just can't get an upper hand on Rogue's Shadow Drive!
Try as you might, you can't catch a shadow.
[GAJEEL] Gotcha!
[GAJEEL grunts]
[NATSU grunts] [STING chuckles]
[BOTH] Outta my way!
[STING and ROGUE chuckle]
[STING] Your fight is with us, losers! Show some respect!
[CROWD gasps]
They've drastically increased their power.
I wasn't aware Dragon Slayers had that ability.
Show 'em what you can really do, Natsu!
Didn't anyone tell you it's bad manners
to hold back when you're fighting?
[STING] You're one to talk!
What's the deal with that pitiful defense, huh?
Hmmm. Not looking too good.
They used magic power amplification.
Add that to their teamwork and they're practically flawless.
Am I the only one feelin' let down here?
They're lacking coordination
and even any semblance of grace.
[RUFUS] It's a wonder that they've survived this long.
That's the way! You've got 'em on the ropes!
Now bring it home!
I'm cheering for you too!
[HAPPY] Four Dragons!
[cheering]
[muffled cheers]
[PORLYUSICA] Hmmm.
The crowd's excitement just took a major turn.
Are Natsu and Gajeel in trouble?
The Twin Dragons may be too much for them.
[PORLYUSICA] The match has only begun.
We cannot lose hope just yet.
Beating the crap out of my idol is pretty freakin' sweet!
[STING] All I've ever wanted to do was to show the world
I'm better than you!
And today... it's finally happenin'!
Oh crap.
Something's up with that punch.
It was different from the other attacks he's used so far.
Wait, different how?
[GRAY] Yeah, you're right! He put a magic circle on him!
[NATSU groans]
The hell? Hey! What'd you do to me?
My White Dragon Talon is infused with Holy magic.
[STING] Anyone branded with its stigmata becomes paralyzed.
Now the real fun begins. You're my new punching bag!
In the end, a Shadow Dragon will always get its prey.
[GAJEEL grunts]
[ROGUE] And you won't even see it coming.
[GAJEEL] I wouldn't be so sure, if I were you.
Now, where were we?
Like a boss!
Give' em hell, Gajeel!
So cool! For a second, I thought he wasn't gonna
be able to touch the guy!
Rogue is skilled. But he can't compare to Gajeel
when it comes to adaptability in a fight.
Yeah well, Natsu is good at stuff too!
Go, Natsu! Take him down!
[groans]
[STING] You shouldn't be able to move!
[STING] He burned off the stigmata?
You're not half bad, I'll give you that.
But you'll have to do better.
[grunts]
That's Natsu for ya.
Insane and brilliant at the same time.
Yeah, you can say that again. He is one of a kind.
What happened? You were so cocky just a moment ago.
Don't underestimate Fairy Tail!
Aw, yeah! Good one!
[LEVY] That was amazing, Gajeel!
Please curb your enthusiasm before it kills me!
[CHAPATI] And just like that,
the tide of battle has turned once again!
[STING] You guys are pretty awesome, all right.
No shock there.
[STING] Looks like we'll have to give you everything we got.
When we decide to go all out,
there's no way fire and steel can stop us.
Do you feel their magic power? It's crazy huge!
No kidding, I think something big's about to go down!
[CHAPATI] I can barely see the arena!
What's happening, Mr. Yajima?
[YAJIMA] That kid is focusing every ounce
of his magic power all into one spot.
[STING] Here it comes, Natsu!
Dragon Slayer Secret Art, Holy Nova!
♪
[CHAPATI] The dust is clearing. Is he--? Wow!
Fairy Tail's Natsu stopped that awesome attack
with just one hand!
Whoa. That's crazy.
He's strong!
[exhales heavily]
No way.
I don't recall anyone blocking that move before.
Very interesting.
[MINERVA] I can see why he had the guts
to attack us all by himself.
Who knows? If I hadn't stopped him then,
we might have seen quite a show.
Don't give up, Sting!
Any comments? I'm not sure what to make of this!
Gajeel!
[groans]
Rogue, no!
I knew their training and Second Origins
had improved their strength.
[MAKAROV] But I never imagined they'd be this powerful.
[YAJIMA] They're on a whole different level now.
[CROWD cheering]
[WENDY] Even I can feel it this time!
All the excitement up there just keeps growing!
Yes.
[CARLA] Shouldn't you be sleeping?
Yeah. But there's no way that's gonna happen.
I wanna be awake, when he wins.
[CHAPATI] If I wasn't watching it with my own two eyes,
I wouldn't believe it!
Sabertooth's Twin Dragons are completely
at the mercy of Fairy Tail's Dragon Slayers!
Will the match end with Sabertooth
face down in the dirt?
[ROGUE] We're not finished yet.
[STING] He's right. It's not like we expected this
to be easy, you know? Give us some credit.
♪
You gotta get up.
[STING] Don't worry, Lector. I know.
[STING] And my word... is my bond.
[STING] I'm not gonna lose.
I made a promise to Lector. And I intend to keep it.
[GAJEEL] Feel that? They're not playin' around.
No kidding.
No. I don't believe it.
Only now do the fools truly understand
the power they face.
[JELLAL] This can't be! They can activate it at will?
The Dragon Force!
Hold up. Natsu did that in the Tower of Heaven, right?
Yes, in a way.
[JELLAL] Natsu only gained that power by consuming Etherion.
He also managed to unleash that strength
against Zero by consuming all of my magic.
But, somehow, these two can tap into that power
whenever they see fit.
Mmmhmmmm.
[MINERVA] They are the third generation.
The world's first true Dragon Slayers.
[STING] Hang back, Rogue.
I got this.
I can handle these chumps by myself.
♪
[CROWD chatter]
[CHAPATI] Well, this match has certainly been
one heck of a roller coaster!
Do we have a two versus one duel on our hands?
You have to hand it to the boy,
at least he has self-confidence.
[LECTOR] You've got that right! Sting and Rogue are
in complete control now,
thanks to their Dragon Force power!
I can't believe we were worried.
Those fairies should give up while they can.
It's because we were cheering! And 'cause I'm so cute!
I've never seen this ability first hand.
Is it really that awesome?
Yes. They're at a real disadvantage now.
[LUCY] I don't like how quiet it got.
[WENDY] Maybe it's over?
Actually... it's just beginning.
Want to go watch?
[LUCY] Mm-mmm. That's okay.
I'm sure Natsu and Gajeel will be fine.
[CROWD chatter]
I think I'm insulted.
Don't underestimate him.
He's strong.
Whoa. So fast!
He's like a different person.
Natsu!
[BOTH grunt]
--[STING grunts] --[NATSU] Ahhh!
[STING] White Dragon, Holy Breath!
♪
The room's shaking!
Their magic power is reaching all the way down here!
What did you expect? It's a battle between Dragon Slayers.
Not a dance recital.
[LUCY] Come on. Stay strong.
[CHAPATI] Incredible! The floor of the arena gave way
under Sting's astonishing attack!
I can't see them!
What an incredibly powerful breath attack!
Look at the damage he caused!
No kidding. These third generation Dragon Slayers
[GRAY] don't mess around.
[BOTH] Gajeel!
--[HAPPY] Natsu! --[ROMEO] Come on, bro!
[CHAPATI] We may have lost the battlefield,
but the action continues underground!
This just keeps getting better!
Please enjoy the bout in crystal clear Lacrima vision!
[STING] You can't leave 'cause we're not done yet!
Fire Dragon Sword Horn!
Iron Dragon, Roar!
[STING] The radiance of a white dragon purifies all!
[STING] Holy Ray!
[GAJEEL groans]
[NATSU yelling]
Such power.
Holy elemental magic.
[NATSU groans]
[growls]
[chuckles]
Time to fly.
Man, even Natsu's having trouble against this guy.
This back and forth crap is really stressing me out!
[NATSU] Aaahhh!
[STING] Ha!
[CROWD cheering]
He's really wreckin' shop!
They can't keep up with him.
I think Rogue's really awesome too!
[STING] Lector, we've waited a long time for this moment.
[STING] I'll win and keep my promise to you!
[YOUNG LECTOR crying]
[YOUNG STING] What's up, Lector? You get picked on again?
[YOUNG LECTOR] Those jerks!
They won't believe anything I tell 'em.
I told 'em how you beat a dragon using your bare hands,
but they just laughed and called me a liar right to my face!
Aw, whatever, let 'em talk.
I don't care what they think. Just forget about 'em.
[YOUNG LECTOR] I can't! You didn't hear the other things
they said about you!
It doesn't bother me. Really!
[YOUNG LECTOR] I know. But, I...
I don't like it when people talk bad about my best friend!
[YOUNG LECTOR sobbing]
All right then. In that case...
I'll prove that you're not a liar.
[YOUNG LECTOR] Huh?
[YOUNG STING] There might not be any dragons left to fight,
but there is that Salamander from Fairy Tail.
So I'll take him down someday.
Right in front of everybody!
[YOUNG STING] That's a promise, pal.
♪
[distant cheering]
[STING] See that, Lector? I won!
Attaboy, Sting! I knew you could!
[shaky exhale]
What now? It got really quiet up there.
That big rumbling. Do you think they lost?
No way. Those two are just fine.
[LUCY] I hope. Please be okay.
[ROGUE] Change is inevitable.
And there's the proof. The old generation,
battered and beaten at the hands of true Dragon Slayers.
Their era was grand, but now it's come to an end.
[STING] Got that right.
[CHAPATI] Natsu and Gajeel may not be getting up
from that one, folks!
It was an intense fight for both sides,
but it looks like Fairy Tail may have succumbed
to the might of Sabertooth's Twin Dragons after all.
Natsu.
[LEVY] Oh no.
What do you think you're doing?
The fight isn't over yet! You're not allowed to quit!
Even Natsu and Gajeel can't beat these guys?
I was startin' to think that we had a chance.
Get up! Please, you can't lose like this!
Good fight. That was the toughest I've ever had.
[STING] Thanks. I mean it.
Are they down for the count?
Quit lying there! You've got a fight to finish!
Listen to us! We're right there with you!
[ERZA] You're never alone!
Because you're part of Fairy Tail!
Perhaps I was wrong; he's nothing special after all.
[ROGUE] Sting.
Yeah. I know. Gajeel wasn't mine to take out. Sorry.
But I finally did it. I kept my word.
[NATSU] Not so fast, pal.
[BOTH grunt]
[CROWD cheering]
Ya hear the crowd? That sounds pretty encouraging!
They're still in the fight!
I don't know why we're surprised.
They never learned how to give up.
It's hard to tell whether they're tough or just stubborn.
Ya can't keep a Fairy Tail man down!
See, Levy? There's nothing to worry about!
[JET] They heard us calling!
That's the way, Natsu!
I knew Gajeel wasn't out of this yet! Ha!
My head.
I'll be feeling that for a week.
[CHAPATI] It's as if Sting's attacks didn't even faze them!
Heh. Not bad. But now we've seen all your little quirks.
What?
No!
No way. How'd they get up?
This has gotta be some kinda nightmare.
I'm dreamin' right?
I don't... think so.
I know the timing of your attacks,
the way you stand when you defend,
even the rhythm of your breathing!
What the hell? That's impossible!
[STING] I used my Dragon Force! You shouldn't be standing!
[NATSU] Yeah, you're definitely strong!
I feel like a train ran over me.
[ROGUE] Keep your composure. He's just bluffing.
[GAJEEL chuckles] Don't make me laugh!
Does Salamander look like the type of guy
that's smart enough to bluff?
I'm smart! Just watch!
For example, when you attack,
you pivot your foot to around eleven o'clock.
Nope. It's ten o'clock, dummy.
It's totally eleven!
Are you blind? It was ten-thirty at most!
Were you even watching him?
I think you were hit too hard!
[NATSU] It's twenty-three o'clock!
[GAJEEL] That's the same thing, moron!
[NATSU and GAJEEL arguing]
[MAKAROV] Are those numbskulls trying to
embarrass the entire guild?
They sure have a lot of excess energy though!
I think they'll finally get serious down there.
They sure picked a heck of a time for bickering.
Must be humiliating to look like a couple of little children.
You're one to talk, Gray.
How often have you and Natsu bickered just like that?
Yeah, but we don't do it in front of the whole world.
[NATSU] Oopsie daisy!
Huh?!
Hey! What the crap?
[GAJEEL] Aaahhh!
He-heh!
Hey. What did you do that for?
Betrayal?
[NATSU] What? Did you think I forgot about that
little insult from before? Ha!
I can handle the two of you myself.
Come on! Give me all you got!
[CHAPATI] Insanity! Natsu Dragneel has declared his own
one-on-two battle against the Twin Dragons!
We could be witnessing history!
Are you getting' fired up?
[GAJEEL] When I get outta here, Salamander...
[groans] you're dead! Hear me?
[GAJEEL] Aaahhh!
[HAPPY] Natsu! I believe in you!
[NATSU] I got this! Trust me!
[HAPPY] You wouldn't betray me, would you?
[NATSU] What are you talking about now? 'Course I wouldn't!
[HAPPY] And you'd never do anything to make me sad, right?
[NATSU] Anyone that does will answer to me!
[HAPPY] Good, cause, well,
someone ate the special fish I was saving!
[HAPPY and NATSU] Next time: "Natsu versus the Twin Dragons!"
[NATSU] Happy, I'm sorry.
[HAPPY] 'Bout what?
[NATSU] I didn't know it was yours! Honest!
[HAPPY] Say what?!
