- Natsu: PREVIOUSLY, ON FAIRY TAIL!
- Happy: THE GUILD'S REALLY GROWN THIS PAST YEAR!
WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF NEW MEMBERS.
- Natsu: YEAH, LUCY CAME ALONG, THEN GAJEEL AND JUVIA.
- Lucy: AND DON'T FORGET WENDY AND CARLA JUST JOINED, TOO!
I GUESS I MUST BE SOME KINDA LUCKY CHARM FOR FAIRY TAIL.
- Happy: OOH, LIKE ONE OF THOSE LUCKY CATS?
- Natsu: OR A JINX!
- Lucy: WATCH IT, PYRO!
- ( theme song playing )
( singing in Japanese )
- HMMM, NONE OF THEM ARE PARTICULARLY ENTICING, ARE THEY?
- Mirajane: OH MY, YOU'RE BACK AND ALREADY LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT JOB!
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING THE HANG
OF THE WORK WE DO AROUND HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.
- SO FAR SHE'S ONLY TAKEN THE SMALL,
LOW-PAYING JOBS AROUND THE CITY,
SO SHE COULD STAND TO BE A BIT MORE AMBITIOUS.
- I'M TRYING!
- Mirajane: THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING SMALL STEPS TO BUILD EXPERIENCE.
IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO START THAT WAY.
- SHE'S RIGHT, BUT DON'T YOU WANNA START GETTING INTO
SOME OF THE BIG-TIME JOBS LIKE WE DO?
- THEY'RE FUN, AND YOU CAN VISIT SOME COOL NEW PLACES.
- NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT,
THE SOONER I'M ABLE TO TAKE ON SOME OF THE BIGGER JOBS,
THE SOONER I CAN BE MORE HELPFUL TO THE GUILD!
- Happy: WENDY'S FIRST BIG JOB?
- SHE JUST WANTS TO DO HER PART AROUND HERE, HUH?
- GOOD ON YOU, WENDY!
- NOW THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
YOUNG, IDEALISTIC, AND FULL OF HEART! I'LL DRINK TO THAT!
- THANKS A LOT, YOU GUYS!
- LUCY SURE COULD TAKE A PAGE OR TWO FROM HER BOOK, EH?
- ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY I'M NOT HELPFUL OR I'VE GOT NO HEART?
- WOW, TOUGH QUESTION.
- NO, IT'S NOT, STUPID CAT!
- I'M HELPFUL BY INSPIRING OTHERS WITH MY INNER AND OUTER BEAUTY!
- YOU HELP ME LAUGH, BY SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT!
- YOU'RE SO RUDE! OH, YOU WANNA LAUGH AT ME, DO YA? COME HERE!
- ANYWAY, I'M SURE EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN OUT ON JOBS FOR A WHILE
WILL BE SURPRISED WHEN THEY GET BACK.
YOU MIGHT BE THE YOUNGEST NEW RECRUIT WE'VE HAD.
- OH, YEAH, WHAT WILL GILDARTS SAY?
- I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT NAME IN AGES.
- AND NOBODY'S HEARD FROM HIM IN A LONG TIME, EITHER.
HE'S BEEN ON THAT SAME JOB FOR HOW MANY YEARS NOW?
- I DON'T KNOW, LIKE THREE, MAYBE?
- I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT HIM.
DON'T FORGET WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I MEAN, IT'S GILDARTS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
- HE'S FINE, THAT GUY CAN HANDLE ANYTHING.
- IT JUST SO HAPPENS,
WE HAVE A JOB REQUEST THAT'S PERFECT FOR YOU.
THIS POOR PERSON IS IN DIRE NEED OF A WIZARD
WHO CAN SOOTHE HIS HEART.
IT DOESN'T PAY A LOT, BUT IT DOES INVOLVE SOME TRAVEL,
WHICH WOULD BE GOOD EXPERIENCE.
- WHERE IS IT ANYWAY?
ALL THE WAY OVER IN ONIBAS?
- WHAT ARE THEY ASKING FOR?
- UH, WELL, IT SAYS "THANK YOU VERY MUCH."
- THANKS FOR NO REASON?
- HEY! I KNOW THAT!
THAT'S RINGING A WEIRD BELL INSIDE ME!
IT'S HOPELESS. I'M DOOMED.
WHY? BECAUSE AGAIN AND AGAIN, I'M LEFT OUT IN THE COLD.
MY ACTORS DESERT ME,
AND MY ART IS KEPT HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD.
THE TOLL ON MY PSYCHE IS ENORMOUS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIGNED LAVIAN.
- THAT NAME SOUNDS REALLY FAMILIAR.
- HE'S THAT CRAZY LITTLE GUY THAT RUNS THE THEATRE.
- REMEMBER THAT HORRIBLE TRAIN WRECK OF A PLAY WE WERE ALL IN?
- WHOA! YOU MEAN "FREDRICK AND YANDERICA!"
- Gray: WENDY, PLEASE, TAKE MY ADVICE AND DON'T DO IT.
- Natsu: YEAH, HE'S A TOTAL SLAVE DRIVER, FOR REAL.
- Lucy: THE WORK WAS HARD, THE PLAY WAS TERRIBLE.
AND HE MADE US DO LIKE FIFTY SHOWS BEFORE WE COULD LEAVE.
- Carla: I'M AGAINST IT AS WELL.
JUST BECAUSE THE JOB IS AVAILABLE,
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT.
SOMETHING FEELS WRONG ABOUT IT.
- YOU'RE NORMALLY RIGHT ABOUT THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
BUT, THIS GUY SOUNDS LIKE HE REALLY NEEDS SOME HELP.
- FOLLOW YOUR HEART, BUT USE YOUR HEAD, CHILD.
BESIDES, IF I MAY SPEAK CANDIDLY,
A JOB SUCH AS THIS, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE QUITE READY YET.
- THAT'S NOT TRUE!
I AM READY TO DO THIS.
YOU'LL SEE!
- NO, I'M AFRAID THAT I WON'T SEE, CHILD.
BECAUSE I WILL NOT BE GOING WITH YOU.
- WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY THE HECK ARE YOU TWO FIGHTING ABOUT THIS?
YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO BE SO HARD ON HER ALL THE TIME, YOU KNOW?
- ( scoffs ) - ( laughing sheepishly )
WELL, FINE! 'CAUSE I'M GONNA TAKE THIS JOB ANYWAY!
- OH, MY, WAIT.
YOU'RE NOT THINKING OF GOING ALONE, ARE YOU?
- YEP! IT'LL BE EVEN MORE OF AN EXPERIENCE!
- Makarov: HOLD YOUR HORSES, YOUNG LADY!
I KNOW YOU HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF GOOD INTENTIONS,
BUT IT'S SIMPLY NOT WISE TO GO ALONE.
AND SPEAKING AS THE MASTER OF THIS GUILD,
I ABSOLUTELY FORBID IT.
( gulping )
( exhales )
WHICH OF YOU HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE?
LET ME SEE. HAPPY!
- WHO ME?
- UM-HMM.
AND, YOU AS WELL, FRIED.
GO WITH THEM, YOU SEEM TO BE IDLE AT THE MOMENT.
- IF THAT IS YOUR WISH, MASTER, I SHALL.
- WHAT?
- All: THAT TEAM IS SUPER RANDOM!
- Wendy: WELL, I GUESS WE'RE ON OUR WAY!
- ( scoffs )
- TRY TO BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, YOU GUYS.
- HEY, FRIED.
YOU BETTER NOT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO OUR GIRL, YOU HEAR ME?
- I SWEAR ON MY HONOR, I WILL KEEP HER SAFE.
- REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR WENDY.
SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR INVOLVEMENT TO A MINIMUM.
- WHY US THREE?
- ( scoffs )
- SHOULD WE REALLY LET HER GO LIKE THIS?
- I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING FOR US TO WORRY ABOUT
AS LONG AS FRIED STAYS BY HER SIDE.
- BUT HE'S SO WEIRD AND RIGID.
NOT TO MENTION ALOOF.
SERIOUSLY, I CAN'T READ THAT GUY AT ALL.
- Man: DUE TO A WRECK ON THE TRACKS,
THE TRAIN BOUND FOR ONIBAS STATION IS OUT OF SERVICE!
I REPEAT.
THE TRAIN BOUND FOR ONIBAS STATION IS OUT OF SERVICE!
- OUR FIRST CHALLENGE APPEARS.
HOW SHALL WE PROCEED, WENDY?
- WELL, DON'T FORGET I CAN USE AERA MAGIC.
I'M PRETTY SURE I COULD FLY YOU ALL THE WAY THERE,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANNA DO.
- MM-MM.
THAT'S NICE OF YOU TO OFFER,
BUT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO AS MUCH OF THIS JOB AS I CAN ON MY OWN.
SO THAT MEANS I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY TO ONIBAS.
- HUH?
BUT IT'LL TAKE US FOREVER TO GET THERE ON FOOT!
TALK SOME SENSE INTO HER, FRIED!
- I AGREE, THE MATTER IS SETTLED, THEN.
- YA SEE? EVEN FRIED THINKS IT'S CRAZY.
- I, TOO, SHALL WALK.
- ( exclaims )
- IT IS YOUR WISH.
MY PRIMARY DUTY IS TO SUPPORT YOU.
AND AFTER ALL, IT'S THE ONE RULE MASTER GAVE ME,
THEREFORE, I MUST FOLLOW IT.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO ME!
- I WISH HE WOULD'VE LISTENED TO ME.
SO WE'RE SERIOUSLY GONNA WALK ALL THE WAY THERE?
- WELL, TO BE COMPLETELY ACCURATE.
WENDY AND I WILL BE WALKING THERE.
WHILE YOU, NO DOUBT, WILL FLY.
- WHAT IN THE HECK KIND OF DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE?
- ACCURACY CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.
AS ONE WHO USES ENCHANTMENTS,
I MUST ALWAYS BE PRECISE IN MY WORDS.
- Happy: EITHER WAY, IT'S GONNA TAKE FOREVER.
- Wendy: THEN LET'S GO.
I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET THERE BEFORE SUNSET.
- WHAT'S THIS? WENDY TOOK THE JOB AT THE THEATRE?
- AFRAID SO.
AND I WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO GO ALONG TO HELP HER,
BUT MASTER THOUGHT THAT HAPPY AND...
- AH-A-EE-EWE-A-OOH-AH-OH-KAH...
- KAY-KEE-KU-KAY-KU-KAH-KU...
- SO WHY EXACTLY ARE YOU DOING THAT?
- ALL THINGS ARE READY, IF OUR MIND BE SO.
- BE READY FOR WHAT?
- MASTER WAS RIGHT,
BUT I STILL CAN'T STOP WORRYING ABOUT SUCH A SMALL GROUP
BEING UP TO THE TASK AT HAND.
THEREFORE, I'M GOING TO HELP.
- ARE YOU ALREADY PACKED?
AND IS IT JUST ME OR ARE YOU CARRYING MORE LUGGAGE THAN NORMAL?
- WELL, THIS IS A SPECIAL JOB.
- UH, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD THAT.
- I TOOK IT IN LIEU OF MONETARY PAYMENT,
A CHOICE I'VE NEVER ONCE REGRETTED.
THE MERE SIGHT OF THESE PROPS AND COSTUMES,
NEVER FAILS TO LIFT MY SPIRITS.
SOMETIMES, I EVEN AMUSE MYSELF BY RECREATING THE PLAY
AS A ONE WOMAN SHOW.
- I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS THAT SPECIAL TO YOU.
OR, APPARENTLY, THAT YOU HAD GONE COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND.
- BAD NEWS!
THE TRAINS AREN'T RUNNING TO ONIBAS STATION TODAY!
- HUH?
- THEN WE SHOULD TRAVEL THERE IMMEDIATELY
TO SEE THAT WENDY AND THE OTHERS MADE IT.
WELL, LUCY?
- YEAH, OKAY. ARE YOU COMING WITH US?
- WHY MUST YOU INSIST ON MEDDLING?
SHE CHOSE TO GO IN SPITE OF MY ADVICE.
AND BESIDES THAT,
YOU DON'T CHOOSE A JOB SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S FAR AWAY AND INCONVENIENT.
YOU CHOOSE A JOB THAT BOTH PAYS WELL AND HONES YOUR SKILLS.
I'M SURE THAT THIS ONE DOES NEITHER.
IT'S A COMPLETE WASTE OF HER TIME AND ENERGY.
AND ALL OF OURS AS WELL.
- SO, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME ALONG WITH US?
- I KNOW THE WAY SHE THINKS.
SHE'LL STUBBORNLY REFUSE ANY ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION
AND INSIST ON WALKING THERE.
- IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG TRIP.
- Lucy: YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.
IT ALREADY FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY WITH THESE TWO.
- Wendy: I'M SORRY IF I'M MAKING THIS JOB MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU.
- Fried: YOU'RE MY COMRADE. NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE.
- Happy: COME ON, CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A BREAK?
- WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
I CAN SENSE THAT THERE'S A THUNDERSTORM COMING PRETTY SOON.
- YEAH, RIGHT. THIS WEATHER IS GORGEOUS!
- ( thunder rumbling )
- ( rain pattering )
- Happy: THIS WEATHER'S HORRIBLE!
- Wendy: WE NEED TO HURRY AND GET OUT OF THE RAIN!
- Fried: ( thinking ) I COULD EASILY CREATE AN ENCHANTMENT TO SHIELD US FROM THE ELEMENTS.
IT WOULD TAKE A TINY FRACTION OF MY MAGICAL POWER TO DO SO.
HOWEVER, THE RULE IS TO AVOID ASSISTING WENDY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
BUT I AM TASKED WITH KEEPING HER SAFE.
IF SHE WERE TO CATCH COLD, I WOULD BE TO BLAME.
SHOULD I TAKE ACTION, OR LEAVE HER BE?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
I NEED YOUR GUIDANCE, LAXUS!
FOR YEARS IN THE THUNDER LEGION I FOLLOWED YOUR LEAD.
HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THIS?
I NEED TO KNOW THE RULES!
LAXUS!
- MR. FRIED!
I FOUND A CAVE!
- OH.
MUCH BETTER.
IT SEEMS INACTION PROVED TO BE THE CORRECT CHOICE.
- Happy: UM, WHAT ARE YOU MUMBLING ABOUT?
- ( chuckles )
YOU NEEDN'T CONCERN YOURSELF WITH IT, CAT.
- YEP, YOU SERIOUSLY GOTTA WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT GUY'S HEAD SOMETIMES.
- "IS IT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY THAT WE SQUEEZE OURSELVES INTO SUCH A TINY SPACE?"
THE CAT INQUIRES UNCOMFORTABLY.
"YES, OF COURSE IT IS. BUT, IF YOU'D RATHER GET DRENCHED, BE MY GUEST."
THE YOUNG GIRL REPLIES QUITE TESTILY.
"OHHH, I HOPE THAT ALL MY PROPS AND COSTUMES DON'T GET WET."
THE LADY GROANS WORRIEDLY.
- Natsu: SAY WHAT? LUCY AND THEM WENT ON THE JOB TOO?
- OUI. THEY DID.
- I GUESS THEY COULDN'T STAND NOT BEING INVOLVED.
- HOW DID YOU MISS ALL THAT?
WHAT IN THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?
- I WAS SLEEPING.
ALL RIGHT, IF THEY'RE ALL GOING,
I DON'T SEE WHY I HAVE TO SIT AROUND HERE ALL DAY!
- All: NATSU!
- DO YOU THINK THAT HE KNOWS ABOUT THE TRAIN?
HE WON'T BE HAPPY.
- ( yells )
I DON'T WANT TO RIDE THIS THING!
BUT I GOTTA DO IT!
I GOTTA GET TO ONIBAS SOON!
BUT I HATE THE TRAIN SO MUCH.
- WE CAN'T WAIT HERE ALL DAY FOR YOU TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND, KID.
WE'RE LATE ENOUGH AS IT IS!
- OKAY! I'LL DO IT.
JUST TRY TO KEEP IT FROM SHAKING SO BAD.
- YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?
- Female Announcer: ATTENTION, PASSENGERS.
DUE TO A WRECK ON THE TRACKS,
THIS TRAIN WILL MAKE ITS FINAL STOP JUST BEFORE ONIBAS STATION
AND THEN RETURN TO MAGNOLIA.
I REPEAT.
THIS TRAIN WILL NOT BE REACHING THE ONIBAS STATION TODAY.
WE DEEPLY REGRET THIS INCONVENIENCE
AND APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING.
- Happy: AT LEAST IT FINALLY STOPPED RAINING.
- Wendy: BUT IT'LL BE GETTING DARK SOON.
I'M AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE TONIGHT.
- THAT CAVE WILL SERVE AS A SUFFICIENT PLACE TO REST FOR THE EVENING.
THOUGH THERE IS THE ISSUE OF PROVISIONS.
- IT'S NOT CHEATING TO HELP US FIND FOOD, YOU KNOW.
EVEN MASTER WOULD SAY IT'S A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE.
- YES, OF COURSE.
I AM FULLY COGNIZANT OF WHAT MY OBLIGATIONS ON THIS
PARTICULAR MISSION MAY OR MAY NOT REQUIRE ME TO DO.
- COULD YOU USE ANY MORE WORDS IN THAT SENTENCE?
- I'VE ALREADY DETERMINED THE BEST SOURCE OF NUTRITION.
IN FACT, I'VE TAKEN STEPS TO PROCURE IT.
- WOW, REALLY?
- THIS GUY MAY BE SUPER WEIRD,
BUT I GUESS THERE WAS A GOOD REASON MASTER SENT HIM WITH US.
- WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THIS ENCHANTMENT,
WINGFISH SHALL FALL FROM THE SKY!
- WHY IS IT GOTTA BE WINGFISH?
- Fried: THEIR ANNUAL MIGRATORY PATH FLOWS DIRECTLY OVER THIS REGION.
THEY COME HERE IN FLOCKS AT THIS TIME EVERY YEAR
TO FIND A MATE AND SPAWN.
- ARE THESE REALLY EVEN EDIBLE?
- MM-MM.
I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THEY'RE "EDIBLE."
I CAUGHT SOME ONCE
AND IT WAS THE GROSSEST THING I'VE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE.
- NO DOUBT AN ASSERTION MADE BY AN AMATEUR.
THE FLAW LIES NOT WITH THE FISH, BUT THE PREPARATION.
BRINGING OUT THEIR NATURAL FLAVOR, TAKES SKILL.
( grunts )
- OH, WHAT A NICE SURPRISE.
I HAD NO IDEA YOU'RE GOOD AT COOKING!
I'M NOT ONE TO BOAST,
BUT MY COMRADES IN THE THUNDER LEGION ENJOYED MY OCCASIONAL DISHES.
AND YOU MIGHT, TOO.
- THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!
- PRESENTATION IS VERY IMPORTANT.
NOW, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE FLAVOR AS WELL.
- THANKS FOR THE FOOD!
- THAT'S IT, TASTED EXACTLY THE SAME WHEN I MADE IT.
- I THINK I SAW SOME NUTS AND BERRIES OVER THERE.
- LET'S PICK SOME OF THOSE. - AYE.
- HM, NUTRITION MUST ALWAYS TRUMP FLAVOR.
WE WIZARDS MUST KEEP OUR STRENGTH AT ANY COST.
- AND WE'RE SURE THAT THIS IS OUR ONLY CHOICE FOR FOOD?
- WHY ELSE DO YOU THINK WE'RE EATING THIS?
- Carla: A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY I DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
- Female Announcer: ATTENTION.
THE ONIBAS-MAGNOLIA TRAIN IS NOW ARRIVING
AND WILL BE DEPARTING FOR THE RETURN JOURNEY SOON.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING,
AND HOPE YOUR JOURNEY IS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.
- SIR! PLEASE, YOU HAVE TO GET UP!
WE'RE DEPARTING AGAIN!
YOU'VE BEEN RIDING THIS TRAIN BACK AND FORTH SINCE YESTERDAY!
YOU CAN'T STAY ON FOREVER!
- ( groaning )
- Happy: GREAT, OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE DESERT!
- Wendy: YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE BOTHERED BY THE HEAT, MR. FRIED.
- HE'S PROBABLY USING SOME KIND OF SPELL TO COOL HIMSELF DOWN.
- NO, I WOULD NEVER DENY MY COMRADES COMFORT TO CLAIM IT ALL FOR MY OWN.
IT'S SIMPLY MIND OVER MATTER.
- HOT. OH, SO HOT.
- HAPPY!
HOLD ON, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER REAL SOON, OKAY?
- SHE KNOWS THAT SPELL WILL DRAIN HER MAGIC ENERGY.
BUT SHE IS SO KINDHEARTED, SHE DOESN'T HESITATE.
HER CONCERN FOR OTHERS IS MUCH GREATER THAN THAT FOR HERSELF.
PLEASE, STOP!
YOU NEEDN'T DEPLETE YOUR POWER.
ALLOW ME TO ASSIST HIM.
- DO YOU KNOW HEALING MAGIC?
- FIRST, WE LAY HIM PRONE ON THIS ROCK.
THEN, I INSCRIBE THE ENCHANTMENT.
THOSE WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THIS ENCHANTMENT,
SHALL NOT BE AFFECTED BY HEAT!
- I REALLY HOPED I WAS NEVER GONNA GET COOKED AGAIN.
- THE RESULTS OF AN ENCHANTMENT SUCH AS THIS ARE NOT ALWAYS IMMEDIATE.
- AND ONCE HE LEAVES IT, ISN'T HE JUST GONNA GET BURNED UP AGAIN?
- I'M FRIED.
- Lucy: WE'RE STILL GOING THE RIGHT WAY, AREN'T WE?
- Carla: UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS HOW YOU GET THERE ON FOOT!
- STAY BACK!
- ERZA!
- Fried: WE SHOULDN'T HAVE MUCH FARTHER TO GO.
DON'T LOSE HEART.
- Wendy: THERE'S A STORM COMING!
- OH, NO! YOU MEAN A SAND STORM?
- Fried: THIS DESERT IS KNOWN FOR ITS "CURSED SANDSTORMS!"
- Happy: WHAT?
WE GOTTA FIND A PLACE TO HIDE!
- THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE IN THIS TERRAIN.
RUN!
- I'M TRYING, BUT I'M STILL SINKING.
- Carla: CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING TO HELP?
- Lucy: I KNOW!
- YOU WANT TO PUNISH ME? PRINCESS?
- OH, COME ON! I NEED YOU TO HELP ERZA!
- AS YOU WISH.
- ( rattling )
- PRINCESS, IT SEEMS SHE'S TOO HEAVY FOR ME TO MOVE.
- I AM NOT!
- NO WAY, NOT EVEN A CELESTIAL SPIRIT CAN GET HER OUT?
- Wendy: HEY, LUCY!
OH, AND CARLA, YOU CAME TOO?
- ( scoffs )
- Lucy: WE CAME BECAUSE WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU,
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE DOING BETTER THAN WE ARE.
- Happy: ERZA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE?
- YEAH, ABOUT THAT.
- Fried: SHE'S STUCK.
PLUS, THAT CURSED SANDSTORM CONTINUES TO BEAR DOWN ON US.
- HUH?
- ( roaring )
- ( Lucy screaming )
- SAVE YOURSELVES AND GO ON WITHOUT ME!
- Lucy: DON'T GIVE UP, VIRGO!
- THIS WEIGHT IS QUITE PERPLEXING.
IT'S NOT UNLIKE A GIANT MASS OF ROCK OR IRON.
- WHAT IS IT?
MAYBE IT'S HER ARMOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHE'S CARRYING AROUND WITH HER?
- I'M STILL HOLDING ON TO THE PROPS AND COSTUMES.
- WHAT?
- ALL THAT STUFF MUST WEIGH A TON!
- I KNOW, BUT THE SHOW CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT THEM.
- WE'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE PUTTING ON A PLAY THIS TIME!
- FAREWELL, DEAR FRIENDS.
I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE OUR TIME TOGETHER.
THEY'RE GONE.
AND A PIECE OF MY HEART GOES WITH THEM!
- BE GLAD YOU'RE ALIVE TO DIG 'EM UP LATER!
- SHALL I PUNISH HER?
- ( roaring )
- Carla: IT'S TOO LATE! THE STORM'S RIGHT OVER US!
- Fried: IF WE GET CAUGHT IN ITS GRIP, WE WILL NEVER ESCAPE IT!
- ( Lucy whimpering )
- DON'T BE AFRAID!
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT!
- WENDY, NO!
- SKY DRAGON ROAR!
- ( roaring )
( groaning )
- Fried: SHE DID IT. THE STORM'S DISAPPEARED.
- OH, YEAH!
- THAT WAS AWESOME! WOO-HOO!
- ( laughing sheepishly )
- HM.
- OH, THANK YOU!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
- HIS SPIRITS DON'T SEEM CRUSHED.
- THE ACTORS AND MYSELF HAVE ALL KISSED AND MADE UP!
THE PLAY HAS EVEN OPENED TO A SOLD OUT AUDIENCE!
STANDING ROOM ONLY!
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!
- ARE YOU KIDDING?
WE RISKED OUR LIVES TRYING TO GET HERE
AND YOU DON'T NEED US?
- I WORKED LIKE A DOG TO DIG THESE THINGS UP!
- THAT'S IT, I GIVE UP.
- ALL THOSE DREADFUL WINGFISH I ATE ARE FINALLY GETTING TO ME.
I THINK I'M GOING TO BE SICK.
I AM!
I CAN'T STAND UP ANYMORE.
- Natsu: HEY!
- IT'S NATSU!
- THEY FINALLY FIXED THE DANG TRACKS.
SO I'M HERE NOW.
UGH, I MUST HAVE RIDDEN THAT STUPID, SHAKY, TRAIN BACK AND FORTH A MILLION TIMES.
( groans )
- Lavian: MY WORD!
- HE'S NOT HAPPY ANYMORE!
- LOITERING IN FRONT OF MY THEATRE IS BAD FOR BUSINESS!
YOU THERE!
- Wendy: YES, SIR?
- Lavian: PLEASE REMOVE THESE VAGRANTS FROM MY PROPERTY.
I'M AWARE THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG JOB, BUT I'LL PAY YOU.
- HUH?
( sighs )
MY FIRST BIG JOB IS KICKING OUT MY FRIENDS.
- NO SHAME IN IT, CHILD.
THEY CAME HERE WANTING TO HELP YOU,
AND NOW IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY,
YOU'RE SIMPLY RETURNING THE FAVOR.
THIS IS QUITE A RESPECTABLE JOB,
SO YOU SHOULD CARRY IT OUT WITH PRIDE.
- YEAH, I GUESS SO.
- WELL, I'M CONFIDENT IT IS.
- ( chuckles )
YOU'RE RIGHT!
( chuckles )
- AND THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AS WELL.
- ( theme song playing )
( singing in Japanese )
- Happy: ALRIGHT! I'M STOKED!
IT'S OFFICIALLY ALMOST RACE TIME!
- Natsu: SWEET! I'M TAKING THAT CHECKERED FLAG THIS YEAR FOR SURE!
- Happy: ( laughs ) DID YOU FORGET WHAT KIND OF MAGIC I CAN DO?
I CAN HOP, SKIP, AND FLY MY WAY STRAIGHT TO THE FINISH LINE!
- Natsu: KEEP DREAMING.
THE RULES SAY YOU GOTTA DO THE WHOLE THING ON FOOT!
- Happy: WHAT? AW, MAN!
- Both: NEXT TIME, 24-HOUR ENDURANCE ROAD RACE
- Happy: THIS STINKS, EVERYONE IN THE GUILD RUNS FASTER THAN ME.
GUESS I'LL BE SITTING THIS ONE OUT.
- Natsu: CARLA'S RUNNING!
- Happy: ME TOO!
