[00:04] Lucy
    "Fairy Nail"?
[00:06] Natsu
    That sounds just like the name of our guild.
[00:09] Gray
    Nail of fairies?
[00:11] Elkis
    This is a talent guild, Fairy Nail.
[00:14] Erza
    A talent guild?
[00:15] Wendy
    A guild of actors?
[00:18] Elkis
    Singers, models, and of course, actors.
[00:21] Elkis
    Talents in our guild engage
    in a wide range of activities.
[00:24] Elkis
    I can't believe a coincidence
    like this is possible.
[00:27] Elkis
    You all are identical to
    the talents in our guild.
[00:30] Erza
    I guess you and I sort of
    look alike a little bit, but...
[00:35] Charle
    Literally identical.
[00:37] Elkis
    Would you like to have a look inside?
[00:40] Natsu
    Sounds fun!
[00:42] Lucy
    I have a bad feeling about this...
SIGN    Aldoron, the Wood Dragon God
[02:19] Natsu
    I found me right off the bat!
[02:21] Lucy
    The spitting image!
[02:22] Elkis
    He is our guild's top star, Nakku-san.
[02:25] Nakku
    Yo, manager. Where the hell are you?
[02:28] Lusha
    Y-Yes, I'm right here.
[02:30] Lucy
    I'm his manager?!
[02:32] Elkis
    That's Lusha-san.
[02:33] Nakku
    I told you a million times!
[02:35] Nakku
    Lukewarm coffee isn't coffee at all!
[02:37] Lusha
    I-I'm sorry!
[02:39] Nakku
    And you know what?
    I'm not playing that shitty role.
[02:43] Lusha
    B-But the project is moving forward
    with you in the cast...
[02:48] Nakku
    I said "no," so it's not happening!
[02:50] Lusha
    B-But...
[02:52] Gray
    He's a jerk, isn't he?
[02:54] Lucy
    Don't bully me so much, would you?
[02:57] Wendy
    Oh, I see Gray-san.
[02:59] Elkis
    That's Gren.
[03:02] Elkis
    He's a pole dancer.
[03:04] Gray
    He strips in front of people?
[03:06] Lucy
    Why would you be embarrassed?
[03:08] Elkis
    Showing your naked body
    is an art form of its own.
[03:11] Elkis
    There... Juvina's over there, too.
[03:14] Elkis
    She's a topless dancer.
[03:16] Juvina
    Looks like you're on a roll, Gren-sama.
[03:18] Gren
    Not as much as you are, Juvina-sama.
[03:20] Natsu
    Topless?
[03:23] Gray
    Stop imagining things!
[03:25] Lucy
    Why are they calling each other "sama"?
[03:28] Elkis
    Over there is Wendelle-chan,
    our gifted child actress.
[03:31] Wendy
    G-Gifted?!
[03:33] Elkis
    Shh. You'll see her in action.
[03:42] Elkis
    In 0.5 seconds, her expression
    will totally change.
[03:44] Wendy
    Incredible...
[03:45] Happy
    There's no version of us?
[03:48] Charle
    I doubt they have exceeds...
[03:52] Elkis
    Charlotte, an idol, and her pet cat, Bappy.
[03:56] Charlotte
    Good kitty.
[03:58] Happy
    I'm just a cat!
[04:00] Elkis
    There's Biby, the black cat.
[04:04] Elkis
    And a married comedy duo, Gazeel and Lijy.
[04:06] Gazeel
    Can you blame me for craving iron?
[04:09] Lijy
    Stop it, you!
[04:11] Lucy
    Married...
[04:12] Elkis
    Minajane and Lisala are models.
[04:15] Gray
    Mira-chan is about the same.
[04:17] Elkis
    Their exclusive makeup artist, Elbman.
[04:19] Elbiman
    Sis Mina, your skin's so rough these days.
[04:23] Elkis
    Laxlis and the Thunder King Tribe,
    a popular rock band.
[04:28] Elkis
    Cara, a leg model, and Rocky, a sexy actor.
[04:32] Wendy
    Sexy?
[04:33] Lucy
    You don't need to know what that means!
[04:35] Natsu
    This is crazy.
[04:37] Lucy
    I can't believe how similar we look.
[04:40] Wendy
    Reminds me of Edolas.
[04:42] Gray
    Mira-chan was about
    the same there, if I recall.
[04:45] Erza
    And what are you?
[04:47] Elkis
    I'm a stage actress.
[04:50] Happy
    You seemed really popular.
[04:52] Charle
    People in town were going crazy for you.
[04:54] Elkis
    Oh, please. I've much to learn.
[04:59] Elkis
    Actually, I'm having a hard time
    understanding my next role.
[05:05] Erza
    Talk to me.
[05:07] Erza
    I have some experience in acting.
[05:09] Lucy/Gray
    What?!
[05:11] Lucy
    "Experience," huh?
[05:13] Elkis
    It's a girl in love, but... I don't
    have any experience in love.
[05:21] Erza
    Love, you say?
[05:23] Nakku
    I've had enough, manager!
[05:26] Nakku
    I told you I'm not taking a role
    that makes me even remotely dumb.
[05:29] Lusha
    I-I'm sorry!
[05:30] Nakku
    You need to learn a lesson. Come here!
[05:33] Lusha
    N-No, Nakku-san. Please—
[05:35] Lucy
    That guy... I can't stand him!
[05:38] Lucy
    I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind!
[05:40] Lucy
    How dare you bully me!
[05:42] Elkis
    I-I don't think you should...
[05:49] Elkis
    I told you.
[05:50] Natsu
    Lucy, what happened?
[05:52] Lucy
    Don't ask me!
[05:53] Elkis
    It might not look it, but...
    they're together.
[05:57] Elkis
    So at the guild, they
    sometimes do... naughty things—
[06:01] Lucy
    You don't need to tell us!
[06:02] Elkis
    It is also a form of love.
[06:05] Elkis
    I know it could take any form, but...
[06:08] Erza
    With no experience, you can't
    say you get it. Is that it?
[06:13] Erza
    I'll listen if you'd like to talk.
[06:15] Erkis
    Erza-san.
[06:17] Erza
    Just call me Erza, Elkis.
[06:21] Gray
    You don't have much experience to speak of.
[06:24] Lucy
    The same goes for you.
[06:26] Happy
    And you.
[06:28] Charle
    You all are hopeless when it comes to love.
[06:33] Natsu
    Man, they were an interesting bunch!
[06:37] Lucy
    It was awful.
[06:38] Lucy
    I might be traumatized.
[06:40] Gray
    Seeing Juvia's face, it makes me
    wonder if she's doing all right.
[06:44] Wendy
    What you saw was Juvina-san, though.
[06:47] Gray
    Love, huh?
[06:49] Juvia
    Gray-sama!
[06:52] Lucy
    By the way, what did you
    talk to Elkis about, Erza?
[06:58] Wendy
    Erza-san?
[06:59] Elkis
    Well... uh, this and that.
[07:11] Natsu
    It's moving...
[07:12] Lucy
    Of course it is.
[07:14] Gray
    There he goes.
[07:19] Elkis
    I can't do this!
[07:22] Lucy
    Wh-What's the matter, Erza?
[07:25] Elkis
    Forgive me... I mean, I'm sorry!
[07:30] Elkis
    I'm Elkis!
[07:33] Elkis
    The real Erza-san, she...
[07:36] Elkis
    Since I couldn't get into the role,
    she'll be on stage instead.
[07:36] Erza
    M-My dear... beluv, beloved...
[07:39] Audience A
    Get out!
[07:41] Audience B
    Terrible acting!
[07:43] Audience C
    You suck!
[07:44] Audience D
    What happened to Elkis?
[07:47] Erza
    Nice, huh?
[07:48] Audience E
    No! Not nice!
[07:50] Audience E
    We want our money back!
[07:52] Gray
    Well...
[07:53] Lucy
    How dumb can she be?
[07:56] Lucy/I
    Elkis and Erza switched places right away.
[08:00] Lucy/I
    Going back to the original team,
    we headed to Drasil the next day.
[08:06] Lucy/I
    And the train paused at the
    RainHill Station on the way.
[08:11] Lucy/I
    The train stopped there for two whole hours!
[08:14] Lucy/I
    To get some fresh air, we went outside.
[08:17] Lucy/I
    Erza stayed behind.
[08:20] Lucy/I
    And then...
[08:24] Gray
    The air feels great.
[08:26] Gray
    This will do for Wendy's meal, I'm sure.
[08:28] Wendy
    Huh?!
[08:34] Juvina
    Oh!
[08:35] Gray
    Juvia?!
[08:36] Juvina
    Gren-sama!
[08:38] Gray
    No, you're that one.
[08:40] Juvina
    What?
[08:41] Gray
    From the talent guild in Tekka.
[08:44] Juvina
    I'm Juvina.
[08:45] Juvina
    You're Gray-sama, as I recall.
[08:49] Juvina
    You're a carbon copy of Gren-sama.
[08:52] Gray
    You look exactly like Juvia, a girl I know.
[08:55] Juvina
    Oh no!
[09:00] Juvina
    You must call me Juvina-sama.
[09:03] Gray
    J-Juvina-sama.
[09:05] Gray
    Are you here on business?
[09:07] Juvina
    That's right.
[09:09] Juvina
    Do you know what Juvina does for work?
[09:11] Gray
    Y-Yeah, I guess...
[09:14] Juvina
    Wanna see?
[09:15] Gray
    Huh?!
[09:17] Gray
    I-I'm not... that type of...
[09:21] Juvina
    I'm kidding.
[09:22] Juvina
    You'd have to pay up to see it.
[09:24] Gray
    Don't scare me like that.
[09:26] Juvina
    That's my line!
[09:28] Gray
    Crap! My habit!
[09:30] Juvina
    You like stripping, like Gren-sama?
[09:33] Gray
    No, it's just my old habit.
[09:36] Juvina
    You're toast.
[09:37] Gray
    What about you, Juvina-sama?
[09:39] Gray
    Being a woman, doesn't doing that...
     make you embarrassed?
[09:44] Juvina
    Not really.
[09:45] Juvina
    I like my job.
[09:48] Gray
    I see.
[09:51] Juvina
    What's that face for?
[09:53] Gray
    No, it's nothing.
[09:55] Juvina
    Ah! I get it.
[09:58] Juvina
    You don't like other men seeing 
    the naked body of your beloved Juvia.
[10:05] Gray
    It's not like that!
[10:07] Gray
    You may look alike, but you're not her.
[10:09] Juvina
    So you don't deny that she's your beloved.
[10:12] Juvina
    Is Juvia-sama your lover?
[10:14] Gray
    No, we're not like that...
[10:18] Juvina
    So you're single, Gray-sama.
[10:22] Juvina
    Then go on a date with Juvina!
[10:23] Gray
    H-Hey!
[10:32] Gray
    So, why are you Juvina "sama"?
[10:36] Juvina
    Because Juvina is a star.
[10:38] Gray
    Huh.
[10:39] Juvina
    More importantly, aren't you curious
    about my relationship with Gren-sama?
[10:43] Gray
    Not really.
[10:44] Juvina
    You're no fun.
[10:47] Juvina
    He doesn't take any interest in me.
[10:52] Juvina
    I've been hitting on him for so long,
[10:55] Juvina
    but he's been salty
    like you wouldn't believe.
[10:59] Gray
    Th-That's too bad.
[11:02] Juvina
    He must know how Juvina feels,
    but Gren-sama is...
[11:07] Gray
    I feel like I have to apologize.
[11:12] Juvina
    He dodges me when it really matters.
[11:17] Juvina
    But I don't care.
[11:18] Juvina
    I want to love rather than be loved.
[11:20] Juvina
    That's Juvina's happiness.
[11:22] Gray
    A man ought be clear with
    his intentions, right?
[11:26] Juvina
    Exactly. If he doesn't like me,
    then I'd rather he told me—
[11:29] Gray
    It's not that I don't!
[11:32] Gray
    Oh, I mean... I was talking about Juvia.
[11:35] Juvina
    Ah, I see.
[11:37] Juvina
    So you're in the same boat as Gren-sama.
[11:40] Gray
    Juvia is important to me, but...
[11:43] Gray
    I can't, not with who I am now.
[11:47] Juvina
    Then when will you be ready?
[11:49] Juvina
    Gotta go, Juvina's got to work.
[12:02] Juvina
    It's on the house.
[12:07] Gray
    You may look like her, but you're
    totally someone else, Juvina-sama.
[12:13] Gray/I
    Juvia has a scar because of me.
[12:17] Juvina
    Don't assume that she'll wait
    for you forever, lover boy!
[12:22] Gray
    I know that.
[12:24] Gray
    That's why I want to
    feel confident about myself.
[12:27] Gray
    I'll become a man
    strong enough to protect her...
[12:31] Gray
    And I'll come get her, no matter what.
[12:36] Gren
    Oh! Did I make you wait, Juvina-sama?
[12:41] Juvina
    Gren-sama!
[12:43] Gren
    Yo! You're the famous Gray-sama.
[12:45] Juvina
    See? He looks exactly like you.
[12:48] Juvina
    Of course, Gren-sama's much better looking!
[12:51] Gren
    Hey, you didn't do anything funny
    with my woman, did you?
[12:54] Gray
    Huh?!
[12:55] Juvina
    Sorry! We are actually together.
[12:59] Gren
    Yeah, she's my woman.
[13:01] Gray
    What?!
[13:02] Juvina
    Well, when Erza-sama came over,
    she told me about you.
[13:08] Juvina
    I felt bad for Juvia-sama,
    so I couldn't help it.
[13:13] Juvina
    By the way, Juvina is not a topless dancer.
[13:16] Gray
    What?
[13:17] Gren
    Like I'd ever let other men
    see my woman naked.
[13:21] Juvina
    It's a place where girls dance in swimsuits.
[13:23] Juvina
    But Elkis-sama is so pure
    that she believed my joke.
[13:29] Gray
    Th-Then what you did earlier...
[13:34] Juvina
    It's our little secret.
[13:36] Gren
    What are you whispering about, Juvina-sama?
[13:39] Gren
    Okay then, we should get going.
[13:42] Juvina
    Give my best to Juvia-sama!
[13:48] Lucy
    Listen, Erza! It's Natsu!
[13:51] Natsu
    Why do you care about a shirt or two?
[13:54] Lucy
    My underwear burned too!
[13:56] Erza
    What did you do, Natsu?
[13:58] Wendy
    He tried to chase away the men
    who tried to hit on Lucy-san, and...
[14:02] Happy
    He went overboard.
[14:04] Charle
    He charred us too.
[14:07] Natsu
    That was fu—
[14:13] Lucy
    Did you say something, Natsu-kun?
[14:16] Natsu
    I... I'm sorr—
[14:20] Erza
    Good grief.
[14:23] Erza
    Gray, did something happen to you too?
[14:26] Gray
    Oh no, it's nothing.
[14:28] Gray
    Just wondering how Juvia's doing...
[14:32] Juvia
    Juvia's doing fine.
[14:34] Gray
    That's good.
[14:38] Juvia
    It's been so long, Gray-sama!
[14:40] Juvia
    Juvia has come!
[14:43] Gray
    Wh-Why are you here, Juvia-sama?!
[14:46] Juvia
    "Sama"?
[14:48] Gray
    Um, never mind...
[14:58] Happy
    Wow!
[14:59] Natsu
    So cool!
[15:00] Lucy
    It may be bigger than Crocus!
[15:03] Natsu
    Let's eat first!
[15:05] Natsu
    Food, food!
[15:06] Erza
    You're right.
[15:07] Erza
    We'll gather information tomorrow,
    so let's get some rest today.
[15:11] Charle
    Don't get lost.
[15:13] Wendy
    Who, me?
[15:15] Juvia
    Look over there, Gray-sama!
[15:17] Juvia
    That store is adorable.
[15:19] Gray
    S-Sure...
[15:22] Gray
    Why are you here?
[15:24] Juvia
    I came after you, of course.
[15:27] Erza
    How did you find us?
[15:29] Juvia
    Juvia's Graydar is excellent.
[15:33] Happy
    Well, she is here. 
    Not much we can do now.
[15:35] Charle
    How is everyone in the guild?
[15:38] Juvia
    Everyone in the guild?
[15:40] Lucy
    What's the matter, Juvia?
[15:42] Juvia
    N-Nothing. They're doing fine.
[15:47] Natsu
    Man, I ate too much!
[15:50] Happy
    Me too.
[15:53] Wendy
    Is that the map of this town?
[15:55] Lucy
    Yeah, the shape of it is so unique.
[15:59] Juvia
    Thank you for today.
[16:02] Juvia
    Juvia doesn't mean to interfere with
    your work, and plans to return tomorrow.
[16:07] Gray
    It was nice to get to see you.
[16:12] Gray
    Because of the contract,
    we can't tell you about this quest,
[16:16] Gray
    so be a good girl and wait for us.
[16:18] Juvia
    You promise you'll come back?
[16:20] Gray
    Of course I will, eventually.
[16:24] Juvia
    Juvia has been so worried.
[16:26] Lucy
    It'll be fine. We're here, too.
[16:30] Juvia
    You're the one I'm most worried about.
[16:34] Lucy
    There's no need to worry there.
[16:38] Gray
    You seem... kind of different.
[16:41] Juvia
    What makes you say that?
[16:43] Gray
    Today, you hesitated before
    answering about the guild.
[16:52] Gray
    Did something happen at the guild?
[16:55] Juvia
    Did something... happen?
[16:58] Juvia
    Huh? Why can't I remember?
[17:01] Gray
    Juvia?
[17:03] Juvia
    A new member joined the guild,
    and Juvia was suspicious of her...
[17:12] Juvia
    Beware the White Mage!
[17:16] Gray
    Juvia!
[17:17] Wendy
    Juvia-san!
[17:18] Gray
    Hey! Stay with me, Juvia!
[17:23] Happy
    What's that noise?!
[17:26] Lucy
    The ground!
[17:27] Wendy
    An earthquake?
[17:28] Erza
    No, this is...
[17:30] Gray
    The ground's rising up.
[17:32] Lucy
    I mean, the townspeople...
[17:34] Lucy
    They're fine with this?!
[17:37] Woman
    Ah, you must be visitors.
[17:39] Lucy
    What is happening?!
[17:41] Woman
    This happens at the same time every day,
    so we think of it like a time signal.
[17:47] Woman
    But I'm sure it's shocking for first-timers.
[17:49] Wendy
    The same time every day?
[17:51] Woman
    No need to worry, it'll stop soon.
[17:56] Woman
    We pray to the earth...
[17:59] Woman
    no, to the great trees...
[18:04] Lucy
    Trees?
[18:12] Lucy
    The shape of this town...
[18:17] Lucy
    It's a hand!
[18:19] Happy
    Hand?
[18:27] Wendy
    D-Don't tell me... we're standing on...
[18:33] Woman
    Yes, a hand.
[18:35] Woman
    The right hand of Drasil.
[18:55] Erza
    Aldoron.
[18:56] Gray
    The town's on his palm?!
[18:58] Lucy
    Does that mean... we are...
[19:00] Wendy
    ...riding on Aldoron?!
[19:05] Natsu
    We were told he was big, but this is too big!
[19:11] Lucy
    I hope Juvia is okay.
[19:13] Gray
    She was acting strange.
[19:15] Gray
    She said something like,
    "Beware the White Mage."
[19:18] Natsu
    White Mage?
[19:20] Happy
    It sounds familiar...
[19:22] Wendy
    Karameel-san mentioned that name.
[19:24] Charle
    She said she asked her to help control
    the Water Dragon God's power.
[19:30] Lucy
    So why did Juvia mention her?
[19:32] Erza
    Maybe something happened at the guild?
[19:37] Gray
    Anyhow, let's wait and see how Juvia feels.
[19:41] Gray
    Maybe she'll remember something
    when she wakes up.
[19:44] Erza
    We must also think of
    what to do about Aldoron.
[19:47] Natsu
    We're standing on him, huh?
[19:50] Lucy
    I never expected that a town would exist
    on the dragon we were looking for.
[19:55] Lucy
    And there are total of five
    similarly sized towns
[19:58] Lucy
    on his left hand, back, and shoulders.
[20:03] Lucy
    It's too big to fathom.
[20:07] Natsu
    Well, I'm sure I can punch him.
[20:09] Lucy
    About that.
[20:11] Lucy
    The biggest concern here is not
    whether or not we can seal him,
[20:14] Lucy
    but if it's all right to seal him.
[20:19] Lucy
    People in this town coexist with Aldoron.
[20:24] Erza
    If Aldoron is sealed, that might
    affect these five towns, you mean?
[20:31] Natsu
    I see how it is!
[20:32] Natsu
    We're dealing with
    a not-so-evil dragon again?!
[20:34] Happy
    Seems that way.
[20:37] Lucy/I
    We left Gray and Wendy to look after Juvia
    and headed to the town to find information.
[20:43] Natsu
    Is he sleeping with his face
    on the ground during the day?
[20:46] Lucy
    I wonder if the daily tremors
    are like him stretching.
[20:50] Natsu
    I mean, what made them build towns
    on top of a dragon of all places?
[20:55] Old Man
    It was the intent of Aldoron-sama...
    or so I've heard.
[21:00] Old Man
    It was my grandfather's grandfather's
    grandfather's generation,
[21:03] Old Man
    so more than 300 years ago.
[21:05] Old Man
    The Wood Dragon God Aldoron-sama told
    the people to build towns on his body...
[21:13] Old Man
    or so I've heard.
[21:15] Lucy
    What for?
[21:16] Old Man
    They didn't know... or so I've heard.
[21:20] Old Man
    You must be travelers.
[21:22] Erza
    We came from Ishgal.
[21:24] Old Man
    I see...
[21:26] Old Man
    Then let me show you around town.
[21:29] Erza
    Much appreciated.
[21:30] Happy
    Something wrong, Natsu?
[21:32] Natsu
    Well, that old dude's scent...
[21:36] Natsu
    What is this feeling?
[21:38] Old Man
    This is the shopping district.
[21:40] Old Man
    It's a popular tourist spot...
    or so I've heard.
[21:44] Lucy
    Wait, so you don't know?
[21:46] Old Man
    And these are Aldoron merchandise.
[21:48] Old Man
    The most popular of them all is
    the Aldoron doll... or so I've heard.
[21:54] Old Man
    This is Aldoron Right Hand Middle
    Finger Park... or so I've heard.
[21:59] Old Man
    The Ring Finger Amusement Park.
[22:01] Old Man
    The Pinky Finger Lake.
[22:03] Old Man
    And this is the heart of Drasil, Saint
    Raishen Church... or so I've heard.
[22:10] Natsu
    So huge!
[22:12] Old Man
    We, the people of Drasil, never forget
    to pray to the earth, to Aldoron-sama.
[22:20] Old Man
    We're here now thanks to the blessings
    of Aldoron-sama's abundant land.
[22:27] Old Man
    And thus...
[22:29] Old Man
    we cannot allow anyone who
    threatens Aldoron-sama to live...
[22:35] Old Man
    or so I've heard.
[22:42] Natsu
    Wh-What's going on?!
[22:44] Old Man
    This is one of the churches
    of the White Mage.
[22:50] Old Man
    ...or so I've heard.
[22:52] Old Man
    And you all committed two sins.
[22:56] Old Man
    First, you possess an enormous
    amount of magical energy,
[22:59] Old Man
    which is against the teachings
    of the faith of the White Mage.
[23:03] Old Man
    Second, you've come
    here to destroy Aldoron.
[23:08] Erza
    How do you...
[23:10] Mirajane
    The White Mage
    sees through all, Erza.
[23:14] Erza
    Mira?!
[23:15] Lucy
    Mira-san?!
[23:16] Happy
    Why?!
[23:17] Natsu
    This scent... It was Mira's!
[23:23] Erza
    What do you think you're doing?!
[23:24] Mirajane
    Let's play together like
     we used to, Erza.
[23:27] Erza
    You... What in the world?
