**[00:04] Nebaru**
This one... move!
**[00:07] Nebaru**
Even though it's spun spun.
**[00:09] Charle**
Wendy.
**[00:10] Nebaru**
You, what dragon?
**[00:13] Wendy**
I'm the Sky Dragon... Sky Dragon Slayer!
**[00:17] Nebaru**
No... a *Cocoon* Dragon.
**[00:21] Nebaru**
Coo-coo.
**[00:22] Wendy**
It's Wendy!
**[00:24] Nebaru**
Let's spin spin again!
**[00:26] Wendy**
I'm not falling for the same trick twice!
**[00:31] Nebaru**
Roll roll, Coo-coo.
**[00:36] Wendy**
Sky Dragon's Claw!
**[00:43] Wendy**
Final blow!
**[00:51] Nebaru**
Coo-coo is fun,
**[00:53] Nebaru**
so no eat her yet.
**[00:55] Nebaru**
Do what I come here to do.
**[00:59] Wendy**
Oh, no!
**[01:00] Nebaru**
Spin, spin.
**[01:02] Charle**
The orb!
**[01:02] Nebaru**
Kaboom!
**[01:14] Touka**
The second orb has been destroyed.
**[01:17] Touka**
Three more left.
**[01:19] Touka**
Three more to go until Aldoron
the Wood Dragon loses his power.
***SIGN*** A Card in the Hand
**[03:04] Kiria**
What was that shaking just now?
**[03:06] Laxus**
An orb must have been destroyed.
**[03:09] Laxus**
Now we have three more to go.
**[03:12] Laxus**
And one of them is right here.
**[03:15] Kiria**
What do you plan to do
after you weaken Aldoron?
**[03:20] Laxus**
White him out to fight the rest
of the Five Dragon Gods.
**[03:25] Laxus**
The White Mage plans to take
the Wood Dragon God's power.
**[03:29] Kiria**
I see.
**[03:30] Kiria**
Our goal is to weaken him so we can eat him.
**[03:34] Kiria**
Our objectives might be different,
but we share the need to break the orbs.
**[03:40] Laxus**
Seems that way.
**[03:41] Kiria**
Then what are we doing here,
fighting in front of the orb?
**[03:46] Laxus**
You started it, remember?
**[03:49] Kiria**
That's right... since you looked so yummy.
**[03:55] Kiria**
You're a perfect appetizer.
**[04:00] Erza/I**
* Now is my chance to take the orb*
* since Kiria and Laxus are fighting...*
**[04:06] Erza/I**
*And yet...*
**[04:09] Erza/I**
*I'm stuck here!*
**[04:12] Jellal**
Erza, I shall now dye you white.
**[04:16] Erza**
Too close!
**[04:17] Jellal**
There's nothing to fear.
**[04:19] Erza**
No, stop it.
**[04:21] Jellal**
Let go and entrust yourself to me.
Everything...
**[04:25] Erza**
Jellal, release these bindings.
**[04:29] Erza**
It reminds me of what
I don't want to remember.
**[04:33] Erza**
I want to reach for your shoulders.
**[04:37] Erza**
I want to touch your cheeks.
**[04:40] Jellal**
Erza.
**[04:43] Jellal**
I-I'm sorry.
**[04:45] Jellal**
I won't ever do that to you again.
**[04:52] Jellal**
Wha... what are you doing, Erza?!
**[04:56] Erza**
It's your turn to be tied up!
**[05:00] Jellal**
Very well.
**[05:01] Jellal**
I'll accept everything you do.
**[05:04] Jellal**
Come on, I'm ready when you are.
**[05:06] Erza**
That's not what we're doing!
**[05:07] Erza**
Stay where you are!
**[05:09] Jellal**
I see! I'm getting teased!
**[05:13] Erza**
I must hurry to the church.
**[05:18] Natsu**
Come to think of it, I've never
fought seriously against Gramps.
**[05:22] Wraith**
Do not see me as the one you know.
**[05:26] Makarov(Wraith)**
The old man's magical energy
combined with mine,
**[05:29] Makarov(Wraith)**
and it has created an invincible strength.
**[05:38] Natsu**
That hurt!
**[05:39] Natsu**
Wait, no more going through the walls?
**[05:44] Natsu**
I mean, why can you hit me
even though I'm a ghost?!
**[05:48] Natsu**
My actual body couldn't attack you!
**[05:51] Makarov(Wraith)**
We're in entirely different leagues.
**[05:55] Wraith**
I'm a ghost.
**[05:57] Wraith**
Technically, you're just a thoughtform.
**[05:59] Wraith**
I get to decide which attack
does and doesn't land.
**[06:03] Natsu**
I don't really get it, but you're cheating.
**[06:07] Makarov (Wraith)**
No, you're unconsciously
doing the same as well.
**[06:13] Wraith**
Fundamentally, ghosts can't touch anything.
**[06:16] Makarov (Wraith)**
Yet you punched the cat I possessed.
**[06:20] Makarov (Wraith)**
And if you wish it,
you can hit this old man, too.
**[06:24] Natsu**
I can't tell if being a ghost
is convenient or not.
**[06:28] Wraith**
Anyhow, who is this old man?
**[06:32] Wraith**
The synchro rate is off the chart.
**[06:35] Natsu**
He is the master of my guild.
**[06:38] Wraith**
A guild master?
**[06:40] Wraith**
That explains his immense magical energy.
**[06:42] Wraith**
And judging by his age,
**[06:47] Wraith**
he might have experienced
being on the brink of death.
**[06:51] Wraith**
But that alone wouldn't explain
this level of synchronization...
**[06:56] Wraith/I**
*Could he possibly meet the third condition?!*
**[07:00] Wraith/I**
*A blood relative?*
**[07:02] Wraith/I**
*Is this old man somehow related to me?*
**[07:06] Natsu**
First possessing Happy, and now Gramps...
**[07:10] Wraith/I**
*I have no memories prior to my death.*
**[07:14] Wraith/I**
*Which is why I might be able to get them back*
**[07:18] Wraith/I**
* if I could find and judge*
* the person who killed me.*
**[07:22] Natsu**
My friends aren't your vessels, all right?!
**[07:26] Wraith/I**
*Was there someone I could call a friend?*
**[07:30] Wraith/I**
*But more importantly...*
**[07:42] Makarov (Wraith)**
What power.
**[07:44] Makarov (Wraith)**
This is his magical energy!
**[07:52] Natsu**
As expected of Gramps.
**[07:54] Natsu**
But you know...
**[07:57] Natsu**
the real Gramps is much stronger!
**[08:02] Natsu**
Sorry, Gramps.
**[08:04] Natsu**
It's time to get serious!
**[08:06] Natsu**
Fire Dragon King's Demolishing Strike!
**[08:16] Wraith/I**
*H-He has magical energy that surpasses mine?*
**[08:21] Wraith/I**
* No matter how much magical energy he has,*
* the aging has taken its toll...*
**[08:28] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Stop talking like an old man!
**[08:32] Wraith**
What is this?!
**[08:33] (Flashback) Young Yajima**
I'm pretty fed up with fighting and whatnot.
**[08:37] (Flashback) Young Goldmine**
Yeah, cause you're a weakling.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Young Rob**
Don't say that, Goldmine.
**[08:43] Wraith**
Is this the old man's memory?
**[08:46] (Flashback) Young Yajima**
Maybe I'll just quit the guild and
become a councilperson or something.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Young Goldmine**
Do you have to choose our mortal enemy?
**[08:55] Young Bob**
Well, I'm thinking of going
independent myself.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Young Rob**
Good grief.
**[09:00] Young Makarov**
Bob, you're thinking
about leaving Fairy Tail?!
**[09:04] Young Porlyusica**
And what's wrong with that?
There are too many people.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
You can't even use magic,
so why are you in the guild?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Young Porlyusica**
Do you have any idea how many times
my potions have saved your ass?!
**[09:16] (Flashback) Young Goldmine**
I don't want to hear a husband-wife quarrel.
**[09:18] (Flashback) Young Rob**
You two are so close.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
We're not married!
**[09:21] (Flashback) Young Porlyusica**
I-I'd never pick a human like him!
**[09:23] (Flashback) Young Rob**
You're bright red.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Young Yajima**
Tie the knot already.
**[09:26] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Hell, no!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Young Porlyusica**
This is why I hate humans!
**[09:29] (Flashback) Wizard A**
Hurry!
**[09:30] (Flashback) Wizard B**
Coming through!
**[09:32] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
What's the matter?
**[09:33] Wizard A**
Someone got hurt!
**[09:35] Wizard B**
Got attacked by a swarm of monsters on a job!
**[09:38] (Flashback) Wizard A**
Porlyusica, please!
**[09:40] (Flashback) Wizard A**
Help him!
**[09:41] (Flashback) Young Porlyusica**
Step aside.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Young Goldmine**
Jeez, that looks bad!
**[09:45] (Flashback) Young Yajima**
Hey, hang in there!
**[09:49] (Flashback) Young Porlyusica**
This is...
**[09:51] (Flashback) Wraith**
Am I...
**[09:55] (Flashback) Wraith**
Am I beyond... help, you think?
**[10:00] Wraith/I**
*Huh?*
**[10:02] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Don't be stupid! You're gonna be all right!
**[10:05] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Isn't that right, Porlyusica?!
**[10:08] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Please, help him!
**[10:11] (Flashback) Wraith**
Makarov, why are you so... desperate?
**[10:15] (Flashback) Wraith**
I don't remember us... being that close.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
It doesn't matter!
**[10:24] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
We're friends, aren't we?!
**[10:26] (Flashback) Wraith**
You're... right.
**[10:28] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Don't you die, Wraith!
**[10:30] (Flashback) Wraith**
You know my name?
**[10:35] (Flashback) Wraith**
I didn't expect that.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
What are you talking about?!
**[10:40] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
We're all members of Fairy Tail!
**[10:43] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
We're family! All of us!
**[10:54] (Flashback) Young Makarov**
Damn it!
**[11:00] Wraith/I**
*So, I was a wizard of Fairy Tail.*
**[11:06] Wraith/I**
* The bond of the guild that's thicker than blood*
* created this level of synchronization.*
**[11:20] Wraith**
I lose.
**[11:21] Natsu**
Huh?
**[11:23] Wraith**
I remembered everything.
**[11:25] Wraith**
I can no longer fight you.
**[11:30] Wraith**
After all, you're my family, too.
**[11:32] Natsu**
Hey, your body...
**[11:35] Wraith**
Yes. I can finally go back.
**[11:39] Wraith**
Thank you for finding me.
**[11:43] Makarov**
Wraith.
**[11:46] Makarov**
I've missed you.
**[11:49] Wraith**
I've missed you, too, Makarov.
**[11:57] Natsu**
What the heck is going on?
**[12:00] Natsu**
Well, whatever.
**[12:02] Natsu**
I took down Gramps anyhow.
**[12:06] Natsu**
Now I'm back into my own body.
**[12:09] Happy**
Natsu!
**[12:16] Gray**
What was the earthquake just now?
**[12:18] Juvia**
Perhaps an orb was broken.
**[12:22] Gray**
I guess there's no time to dawdle.
**[12:24] Cana**
Now, now, now.
**[12:26] Cana**
What's the rush, eh?
**[12:31] Juvia**
Cana-san!
**[12:33] Gray**
Seriously? She's drunk even under hypnosis?
**[12:39] Gray**
Looks like it'll be easier
than the Thunder God Tribe.
**[12:43] Juvia**
Gray-sama, please be careful!
**[12:46] Gray**
Sorry, but I'll take you down in one hit.
**[12:53] Cana**
Oh? Gray is upside down.
**[12:57] Gray**
You drunk!
**[13:00] Cana**
River of light, guided by fairies, gather!
**[13:04] Cana**
Shine now, to break the fangs of evil!
**[13:08] Juvia**
Fairy Glitter?!
**[13:10] Gray**
In the middle of the town?!
**[13:12] Gray**
Is she insane?!
**[13:14] Cana**
Fairy...
**[13:19] Lucy**
I made it!
**[13:21] Lucy**
Fluffy-Wuffy, special craft by Aries.
**[13:23] Lucy**
You can stop the spells
that need incantations.
**[13:27] Juvia**
Lucy!
**[13:28] Gray**
What's a Fluffy-Wuffy?
**[13:30] Lucy**
Gray, Juvia. I was just looking for Cana.
**[13:34] Gray**
I'm surprised you found her.
**[13:36] Lucy**
I used Plue's only ability,
**[13:39] Lucy**
a nose with a Natsu-level sense of smell!
**[13:42] Juvia**
By nose, does she mean
that drill-looking thing?
**[13:46] Gray**
Yup, that drill-looking thing.
**[13:53] Lucy**
I know Cana carries them around with her.
**[13:57] Juvia**
She's totally fondling
Cana's breasts in the confusion.
**[14:02] Juvia**
You want to do the same, Gray-sama?
**[14:05] Gray**
I do not!
**[14:06] Lucy**
There, I found them!
**[14:08] Lucy**
Magic Cards!
**[14:10] Gray**
The cards Cana uses all the time.
**[14:13] Lucy**
Yes. And they have the power
to seal people in.
**[14:17] Gray**
You're right.
**[14:19] Lucy**
We can use these to gather everyone
and protect them at the same time.
**[14:24] Gray**
But it's Cana's magic.
**[14:27] Lucy**
I'm also a holder-type wizard,
**[14:29] Lucy**
so I think I can use them,
if not as well as she does.
**[14:33] Lucy**
And unlike the keys for the celestial spirits,
these cards don't require a contract.
**[14:38] Juvia**
Then you can turn everyone back with these?
**[14:42] Lucy**
Turning them back is another story,
**[14:45] Lucy**
but I think I can protect them
for the time being.
**[14:47] Gray**
Wow, you're pretty smart, aren't you?
**[14:50] Lucy**
To start off, let's trap Cana in the card!
**[14:58] Lucy**
Why?!
**[15:00] Gray**
How should I know?!
**[15:01] Juvia**
Lucy got trapped in the card.
**[15:04] Lucy**
It's a counter.
**[15:05] Lucy**
Cana laid a trap on her magic
so that it wouldn't be exploited—
**[15:10] Cana**
That's not it.
**[15:13] Cana**
Those cards are indeed commercially
available ones that can be used by anyone.
**[15:18] Cana**
But to trap a person in it,
you need to know the trick.
**[15:23] Lucy**
Cana.
**[15:24] Cana**
Here.
**[15:28] Cana**
There we go.
**[15:32] Cana**
See?
**[15:34] Juvia**
Cana-san, why?
**[15:36] Lucy**
Did you break the hypnosis?
**[15:38] Gray**
Not likely.
**[15:41] Gray**
Even if the hypnosis is gone, she shouldn't
be able to use magic, like Juvia.
**[15:46] Cana**
Hypnosis?
**[15:48] Cana**
Why the heck am I dressed like this?
**[15:52] Cana**
This sucks!
**[15:54] Cana**
Hey, I'm buck naked underneath!
**[15:58] Lucy**
Could it be that she wasn't under
hypnosis at all because she was drunk?
**[16:05] Gray**
Then what was the Fairy Glitter for?!
**[16:09] Juvia**
Alcohol made her do it?
**[16:11] Lucy**
Yikes!
**[16:15] Lucy**
But I'm so glad, Cana!
**[16:17] Cana**
Oh, come on. What's going on?
**[16:21] Gray**
This might save everyone.
**[16:23] Juvia**
Let's go find them.
**[16:27] Kiria**
Well, then.
**[16:28] Kiria**
Can I eat you now, Lightning Dragon?
**[16:32] Laxus**
I don't know who you are,
but I've seen your strength.
**[16:37] Laxus**
You can't beat me.
**[16:38] Kiria**
I wouldn't be so sure!
**[16:44] Kiria**
I've cut your strength.
**[16:47] Kiria**
Now, you'll be my toy!
**[16:53] Laxus**
My strength?
**[16:54] Laxus**
Sorry, lady, but I have no such thing.
**[16:59] Laxus**
I'm in the guild because I'm weak.
**[17:01] Laxus**
But I don't think that's a bad thing.
**[17:04] Kiria**
It can't be!
**[17:07] Laxus**
Roaring Thunder!
**[17:12] Laxus**
It's okay to be weak
in front of your friends.
**[17:16] Laxus**
No need to push yourself too hard.
**[17:18] Laxus**
Well, I know that'll be tough for Erza.
**[17:23] Kiria/I**
* A man with a weakness in his heart*
* while possessing such strength...*
**[17:29] Kiria/I**
*I might seriously be in love!*
**[17:33] Wendy**
What is this cocoon?
**[17:34] Wendy**
It won't come off!
**[17:36] Charle**
Don't worry about me and go after that guy!
**[17:39] Wendy**
But...
**[17:41] Charle**
I'm sure he went after
the orbs in the other towns!
**[17:45] Charle**
He must be stopped!
**[17:47] Charle**
If you beat him, this cocoon should come off.
**[17:52] Wendy**
Okay.
**[17:54] Wendy**
I promise I'll come back for you!
**[18:02] Wendy**
There you are.
**[18:03] Wendy**
You're not getting away!
**[18:09] Nebaru**
Coo-coo!
**[18:21] Nebaru**
You...
**[18:22] Nebaru**
I let you go because you're interesting.
**[18:25] Nebaru**
But now, you've come to me on your own.
**[18:28] Nebaru**
You are a fool, Coo-coo.
**[18:29] Wendy**
I came here to stop you.
**[18:33] Wendy**
You'd better be prepared!
**[18:34] Nebaru**
Not possible, silly coo.
**[18:41] Wendy**
Chewing gum?
**[18:43] Wendy**
You're swallowing it?!
**[18:45] Nabaru**
I eat chewing gum.
**[18:47] Nabaru**
Power up complete.
**[18:56] Nabaru**
I eat you.
**[19:01] Cana**
I got Macao, Wakaba, and Romeo!
**[19:04] Juvia**
Who could have defeated them?
**[19:06] Gray**
Judging from the injuries, maybe Natsu?
**[19:08] Lucy**
Up ahead, I believe...
**[19:12] Lucy**
There she is!
**[19:13] Lucy**
Lisanna!
**[19:15] Cana**
I got Lisanna!
**[19:18] Gray**
This magical energy...
**[19:20] Lucy**
Mira-san and Elfman are nearby.
**[19:22] Lucy**
So are the members of Diabolos.
**[19:25] Gray**
That's troublesome.
**[19:27] Gray**
Mira-chan's against us now,
plus that ash guy?
**[19:31] Juvia**
What if we trap them all in Cana-san's cards?
**[19:34] Cana**
It won't work on a target
feeling a lot of hostility.
**[19:37] Cana**
So we'll have to knock them
out first or something.
**[19:40] Lucy/I**
*I have to think. There has to be a way.*
**[19:49] Laxus**
The order was to destroy this thing, right?
**[19:54] Erza**
Hold it!
**[19:57] Laxus**
Erza.
**[19:59] Erza**
I won't let you touch it.
**[20:06] Erza/I**
*Did Laxus defeat a strong foe like her?*
**[20:11] Erza/I**
*I knew he was strong.*
**[20:13] Erza/I**
* I have no idea how I can defeat Laxus, even*
* when he's under the White Mage's hypnosis.*
**[20:20] Erza/I**
*If only Natsu or Gray were here...*
**[20:25] Laxus**
Don't get in my way.
**[20:31] Erza/I**
*I must stop him.*
**[20:35] Happy**
Natsu, why are we going to
the town on the back?
**[20:39] Natsu**
Isn't it obvious?
**[20:41] Natsu**
There are five towns total, and
the town on the back is in the middle.
**[20:45] Happy**
So?
**[20:46] Natsu**
Usually, the strong boss
is in the middle, right?
**[20:50] Happy**
Huh? Is that true?
**[20:51] Natsu**
I bet Laxus or Mira will be there.
**[20:53] Happy**
That is some deduction.
**[20:55] Natsu**
I'd even settle for Jellal!
**[20:58] Jellal/I**
* Erza... How long are you*
* going to tantalize me?*
**[21:04] Natsu**
Oh.
**[21:05] Happy**
There's a beam of light.
**[21:08] Natsu**
Something's gotta be there.
**[21:09] Happy**
Maybe the orb?
**[21:12] Natsu**
Let's go, Happy!
**[21:13] Happy**
Aye, sir!
**[21:22] Natsu**
There's someone.
**[21:26] Natsu**
She's...
**[21:28] Happy**
The White Mage?!
**[21:30] Natsu**
Why is she passed out here?!
**[21:33] Natsu**
Happy, where's the orb?
**[21:35] Happy**
Looks like it's safe.
**[21:38] Natsu**
What's going on?
**[21:40] Happy**
Should we beat her up
while we have the chance?
**[21:42] Natsu**
You want to beat up an unconscious person?!
**[21:46] Happy**
Yeah, that's a little much, huh?
**[21:48] Natsu**
All right, brace yourself!
**[21:50] Happy**
Why are you fired up?!
**[21:52] Natsu**
Asleep or not, a girl or not,
it doesn't matter.
**[21:56] Natsu**
She's an enemy of our guild.
**[21:59] Natsu**
I'll do anything for the guild. I mean it.
**[22:05] Touka**
Natsu-sama...
**[22:10] Touka**
Save me!
