[00:08] ---
    Never before in all the world had such a mysterious phantom manifested...
[00:16] ---
    And whenever that strange figure appeared before people,
[00:20] ---
    they all felt a chill run down their spines...
[00:25] ---
    You're out of places to run, serial jewelry thief!
[00:28] ---
    Villain! Surrender!
[00:33] ---
    Fools! You really believe you can capture me?!
[00:40] ---
    Monster!
[00:41] ---
    An invisible person!
[00:43] ---
    Yes, be shocked! And cringe in fear!
[00:46] ---
    This is my true form!
[00:50] ---
    Was there ever anything more fearsome in this world
[00:54] ---
    than this absolute hollowness, this infinite nothingness?
[00:58] ---
    To the people involved, it was like glimpsing a rip in the fabric of the world.
[01:02] ---
    They shivered in terror, shaken to their very souls...
[01:16] ---
    ...she said."
[01:17] ---
    Huh... So this is the kind of story Lucy writes...
[01:20] ---
    Hey, hey!
[01:22] ---
    I never said you could read it!
[01:24] ---
    Yo, Lucy.
[01:26] ---
    So this time it's a story about an invisible person, huh?
[01:29] ---
    W-Well, I thought I'd try tackling sort of a different genre, so...
[01:35] ---
    Everybody's thought at least once about what would happen
[01:37] ---
    if they became invisible, right?
[01:39] ---
    And I had a feeling I could write an interesting story about it...
[01:45] ---
    Fools! You really believe you can capture me?!
[01:52] ---
    Yes, be shocked! And cringe in fear!
[01:55] ---
    This is my true form!
[02:00] ---
    Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
[03:34] ---
    What did you two come here for?!
[03:37] ---
    If you've got no reason, then get out!
[03:39] ---
    We're here to invite you out on a job!
[03:42] ---
    If you don't work, you're gonna be flat broke.
[03:44] ---
    I'm busy right now!
[03:46] ---
    I'm sure you two can handle whatever the job is.
[03:49] ---
    That's not the way it works. We're a team, remember?
[03:53] ---
    Aye!
[03:54] ---
    And when we work together as a team, it's gotta include you.
[03:59] ---
    Natsu...
[04:02] ---
    Plus, I'm starving!
[04:04] ---
    Do you have anything to eat around here?
[04:06] ---
    You know...
[04:06] ---
    This isn't a restaurant!
[04:12] ---
    The Terror of Invisible Lucy!
[04:21] ---
    I lost all my concentration!
[04:23] ---
    Think I'll clear my head with a bath...
[04:28] ---
    Magic ointment...?
[04:33] ---
    Oh, that's right. I prepared it myself, didn't I?
[04:37] ---
    Using this will make my skin so beautiful, it'll almost be translucent.
[04:41] ---
    It's been a long time, maybe I'll put some on...
[04:56] ---
    An invisible person...
[04:59] ---
    I wonder what I could do if that really happened to me.
[05:03] ---
    Surprise everyone...
[05:05] ---
    And maybe it would be useful for work...
[05:07] ---
    What a dreamer!
[05:16] ---
    Feel a little dizzy...
[05:19] ---
    Huh?
[05:21] ---
    What? What's this?!
[05:23] ---
    I've really become invisible!
[05:26] ---
    I see... I made this ointment seven years ago.
[05:31] ---
    Maybe is got so old that the effect has changed!
[05:36] ---
    I can't just stay like this!
[05:38] ---
    I need Natsu and the rest to help me!
[05:41] ---
    This is bad... If I go outside like this, it'll cause a panic!
[05:51] ---
    Huh?
[05:52] ---
    That's strange. No one's there, but...
[06:02] ---
    No one can see me, so I'd better be careful or they'll bump into me...
[06:07] ---
    Oh, I know. I'll stay off to the side.
[06:11] ---
    I came out in a hurry, but now that I think of it, I'm naked.
[06:16] ---
    If the ointment wears off...
[06:21] ---
    ...will happen.
[06:24] ---
    Although come to think of it, now that nobody can see me,
[06:27] ---
    even if I do this weird pose...
[06:29] ---
    Or this pose... or this pose...
[06:33] ---
    Nobody can see it!
[06:35] ---
    It's embarrassing, but fun!
[06:37] ---
    Though I feel like an idiot getting excited all by myself...
[06:45] ---
    Hey... Cut it out! Shoo!
[06:47] ---
    What's wrong? There's nothing there.
[06:56] ---
    Whose voice is that?
[07:01] ---
    That was close.
[07:03] ---
    I'd better get to Fairy Tail and fast...
[07:07] ---
    What is that? Something's here!
[07:08] ---
    Weird!
[07:10] ---
    You're right! I feel something!
[07:12] ---
    It's soft and warm!
[07:14] ---
    It feels like a person!
[07:16] ---
    Oh, no...
[07:21] ---
    Th-That tickles! Knock it off!
[07:23] ---
    Don't touch me!
[07:27] ---
    It ran away!
[07:28] ---
    Come back here!
[07:32] ---
    It's an invisible ghost!
[07:34] ---
    Let's catch it!
[07:35] ---
    Gimme a break! What a revolting development!
[07:39] ---
    I know! I'll hide in here!
[07:43] ---
    Come back!
[07:48] ---
    Safe...
[07:56] ---
    F-Finally made it...
[08:00] ---
    What a mooch, Natsu!
[08:04] ---
    Huh, so Lucy-nee literally booted you out?
[08:06] ---
    Yeah, even though I was there to invite her out on a job!
[08:11] ---
    It's only natural she'd be angry.
[08:13] ---
    I hear you two sometimes even use her bath without asking.
[08:17] ---
    That's a flagrant breach of manners.
[08:19] ---
    I agree.
[08:21] ---
    Even though you're on the same team, a line needs to be drawn.
[08:24] ---
    Whenever you're out of money, come over here and I'll feed you.
[08:29] ---
    Although for inconsiderate jerks like you two,
[08:32] ---
    I'm sure this goes right over your heads.
[08:34] ---
    But I think she could've been a little nicer to us!
[08:38] ---
    That kind of behavior is the reason she'll never be able to snag a boyfriend!
[08:43] ---
    He's got her number!
[08:44] ---
    Or even if she got a boyfriend, I bet he'd run away first chance he had.
[08:49] ---
    She was born a "lady" outside, but she's a barbarian on the inside.
[08:52] ---
    Mm. Only a Man who was truly wild could be a match for her.
[08:57] ---
    Lucy should learn a little from Team Shadow Gear's Levy!
[09:02] ---
    She should act more like a lady!
[09:04] ---
    I'm not all that ladylike myself, but still...
[09:11] ---
    So I'm the butt of their jokes when they think I'm not here...
[09:17] ---
    Bastard! What the hell'd you do that for?!
[09:20] ---
    Hah? What the hell are you talking about?!
[09:22] ---
    Don't play dumb! You just doused me with a mug of booze!
[09:26] ---
    Don't go making weird accusations!
[09:29] ---
    If it wasn't you, then who did it?!
[09:31] ---
    How do I know?!
[09:32] ---
    Ow!
[09:34] ---
    What was that for?!
[09:37] ---
    You're the one that started it!
[09:40] ---
    What have we here?! A fight?!
[09:42] ---
    What's going on all of a sudden?
[09:44] ---
    Something about getting splashed with booze...
[09:50] ---
    Hey! If you're gonna fight, take it elsewhere!
[09:56] ---
    Just when I was getting into it...
[10:03] ---
    What the hell are you doin'?!
[10:07] ---
    Asshole! You lookin' for a fight?!
[10:08] ---
    Don't bug me when I'm eatin'!
[10:10] ---
    Hah?! I don't know what the hell you're talking about!
[10:14] ---
    What the hell?!
[10:15] ---
    Move it! We're tryin' to have a fight here!
[10:17] ---
    Seven years have passed and you still haven't picked a job?!
[10:20] ---
    I'm looking for the job that only I can do!
[10:33] ---
    What's going on?!
[10:36] ---
    Everyone, calm down! What started this?!
[10:39] ---
    Leave them be. This is no different than usual.
[10:42] ---
    But at this rate, they'll destroy the guild hall!
[10:45] ---
    We can always fix it later.
[10:47] ---
    Not getting upset by every little thing is the mark of an adult.
[10:52] ---
    Honestly, this bunch hasn't matured at all.
[10:54] ---
    If anything, they've become even more boisterous these past seven years...
[11:00] ---
    Morons... You've taken it too far!
[11:05] ---
    Even Erza-san joined in!
[11:08] ---
    I figured she would...
[11:11] ---
    It looks like Erza hasn't matured any either.
[11:17] ---
    It's become a regular riot!
[11:22] ---
    Ouch!
[11:24] ---
    Lucy's... voice? And her scent, too...
[11:33] ---
    Lucy, is that you?!
[11:36] ---
    Don't touch me there!
[11:41] ---
    Lucy, he says?
[11:44] ---
    Lucy's here?
[11:46] ---
    I could hear her voice...
[11:47] ---
    But I can't see her!
[11:49] ---
    Lucy, where are you?
[11:55] ---
    The cat's out of the bag!
[12:07] ---
    I see. So that's what happened...
[12:09] ---
    What a weird sight...
[12:12] ---
    S-Stop staring at me like that. I'm getting embarrassed.
[12:16] ---
    Creepy!
[12:17] ---
    Who's creepy?!
[12:18] ---
    This is a real pickle...
[12:20] ---
    For now, we rounded up some clothes for you, but...
[12:24] ---
    You can't change back to normal?
[12:26] ---
    No... I came here because I thought you guys could do something...
[12:30] ---
    I don't see what the problem is.
[12:34] ---
    It could be a lot of fun, so let's go out on a job with you like that!
[12:37] ---
    I can't go like this!
[12:39] ---
    Doesn't anyone know of a way to cancel out invisibility magic?!
[12:43] ---
    Easier said than done...
[12:45] ---
    Hmmm...
[12:47] ---
    Okay! I have a good idea!
[12:49] ---
    What?!
[12:50] ---
    Toasting you with flames will probably fix it!
[12:54] ---
    Y-You have grounds to believe that?
[12:57] ---
    True, when I turned to stone that one time, he did the same thing to me.
[13:01] ---
    But if we can't think of anything else, I guess that's the only way to go.
[13:05] ---
    Mm. If you're a Man, you'll do it without hesitation.
[13:10] ---
    I'm a girl!
[13:12] ---
    Alright, here I go, Lucy!
[13:15] ---
    I'll help you, Natsu-nii!
[13:16] ---
    Wait! I'm not mentally prepared yet!
[13:19] ---
    Ready... go!
[13:22] ---
    Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot!
[13:25] ---
    Hmm, looks like it didn't work...
[13:27] ---
    Of course it didn't!
[13:31] ---
    Keep your chin up, Lu-chan.
[13:33] ---
    I'm sure we'll find a way...
[13:34] ---
    Oui. I believe a time like this is made for me to step up.
[13:38] ---
    Reedus!
[13:39] ---
    Do you have some kind of plan?
[13:41] ---
    Leave it to me...
[13:43] ---
    All I have to do is paint Lucy's face!
[13:50] ---
    Th-That looks like her and doesn't look like her at the same time...
[13:54] ---
    Unlike the real Lucy, she's beautiful!
[13:58] ---
    I kind of have mixed feelings...
[14:00] ---
    Hmm... Then what if I add this?!
[14:03] ---
    Now this, I hate!
[14:05] ---
    I can paint better than that!
[14:07] ---
    Don't!
[14:09] ---
    Finished! Looks just like you!
[14:10] ---
    I'm not a cat!
[14:12] ---
    That's right! Lucy's face is more like this, this, and like this!
[14:16] ---
    No, her eyes are more like this!
[14:19] ---
    H-Hey...
[14:21] ---
    Mmm...
[14:22] ---
    What do you mean, "mmm"?!
[14:24] ---
    Aren't her nose and mouth like this?
[14:27] ---
    In that case, there's more of an impact if we go like this.
[14:31] ---
    You guys suck. Let me give it a whack!
[14:34] ---
    Nah, leave it to me.
[14:36] ---
    I used to take drawing class when I was a kid.
[14:39] ---
    I would go bolder, like so!
[14:41] ---
    It's important to have distinct characteristics.
[14:43] ---
    She's a girl, so we should make her cuter!
[14:46] ---
    She needs sparkling eyes!
[14:48] ---
    Or better yet, how about black hair?
[14:51] ---
    It may look good on her!
[14:52] ---
    I'd rather try out a different hairstyle.
[14:55] ---
    Like very short or with dreads...
[14:57] ---
    She'd look good with an afro, too, don't you think?
[15:00] ---
    Then we have to paint her face, too!
[15:03] ---
    My face isn't a toy!
[15:07] ---
    Oh, she's a Man!
[15:08] ---
    Why'd you make me like this?!
[15:10] ---
    This is a pain! Leave everything to me!
[15:13] ---
    Wow, that looks just like her!
[15:15] ---
    I'm sure you have no complaints about this, right?!
[15:22] ---
    Creepy!
[15:23] ---
    Don't be rude!
[15:25] ---
    Hey... What's this?
[15:28] ---
    A photo from when they did an article on us that time...
[15:31] ---
    For now, make do with that, okay?
[15:34] ---
    Well, this is better than before, but...
[15:37] ---
    Y-You think so...?
[15:39] ---
    I'm back!
[15:41] ---
    Where did you two go?
[15:43] ---
    Lucy's room.
[15:45] ---
    We picked up the bottle of ointment and her Celestial Keys.
[15:49] ---
    I see! I can ask my Celestial Spirits for help!
[15:52] ---
    Thank you, Wendy and Carla!
[15:54] ---
    But which Spirit should I summon?
[15:57] ---
    I don't think I could count on Loke or Aquarius at a time like this...
[16:02] ---
    Lucy, call out Gemini.
[16:04] ---
    Gemini? Why?
[16:07] ---
    They can transform into you. Just try it!
[16:11] ---
    O-Okay. Gate of the Twins, I open thee! Gemini!
[16:17] ---
    Long time no see! Gemini here!
[16:19] ---
    Oh, it's Lucy!
[16:21] ---
    Looks exactly like Lucy!
[16:23] ---
    That's Gemini for you!
[16:25] ---
    So... let's do this!
[16:27] ---
    I'm Lucy! Everyone, please be my friend!
[16:32] ---
    We can keep this up forever!
[16:34] ---
    I get it! Nice idea!
[16:37] ---
    This doesn't solve anything!
[16:39] ---
    Still, that's the spitting image of her...
[16:42] ---
    Uh-huh! I transform into an exact duplicate.
[16:45] ---
    I can even copy memories and abilities!
[16:48] ---
    In that case, why don't we just say this is the real thing from now on?
[16:52] ---
    Yeah. After all, the looks and powers are the same...
[16:55] ---
    If anything, this one seems more mild-mannered and easier to get along with...
[16:59] ---
    Enough!
[17:00] ---
    Kidding! Only kidding!
[17:02] ---
    Fried and Levy, what are you doing?
[17:05] ---
    Analyzing the formulation of the recipe...
[17:07] ---
    If we find out the makeup of the magic,
[17:10] ---
    there may be Runes that can cancel it out.
[17:13] ---
    I've got it analyzed.
[17:15] ---
    Fried, these are the ointment's ingredients.
[17:19] ---
    Leave the rest to me!
[17:24] ---
    The effects of a magical ointment will be dispelled...
[17:27] ---
    ...for whoever is in these Runes!
[17:36] ---
    H-Hey, can you see anything?
[17:38] ---
    N-No...
[17:40] ---
    Does that really work?!
[17:42] ---
    It does.
[17:43] ---
    However, the ointment was sitting for seven years...
[17:47] ---
    So it'll take seven years to be dispelled.
[17:49] ---
    I can't wait that long!
[17:52] ---
    I-I'm sorry, Lu-chan...
[17:57] ---
    What's so funny, Lucy?
[17:59] ---
    I'm crying! Because this is hopeless!
[18:04] ---
    What's this? Not only my body, but now the clothes are becoming invisible?
[18:08] ---
    Your whole existence is starting to disappear!
[18:11] ---
    What does that mean, Levy?!
[18:12] ---
    It's not just Lu-chan becoming invisible,
[18:15] ---
    but she's actually starting to vanish!
[18:17] ---
    On top of that, it will be as if she never existed.
[18:23] ---
    The bottle disappeared?!
[18:25] ---
    Since it'll be as if Lucy never existed, then her things will vanish, too!
[18:30] ---
    I bet her room is empty by now!
[18:42] ---
    I-I don't want this to happen! I don't want it so I never existed!
[18:47] ---
    I'm right here!
[18:49] ---
    If I do this...
[18:56] ---
    What was I just saying...?
[18:59] ---
    I don't know... Probably about work...
[19:01] ---
    I think I was painting something... but what was it?
[19:06] ---
    I feel like someone was standing right here just a second ago...
[19:10] ---
    I have the same feeling. Strange, isn't it?
[19:13] ---
    I feel weird, like something is missing...
[19:16] ---
    Me too... Is it just our imaginations?
[19:19] ---
    Do you feel like that too, Natsu?
[19:22] ---
    Mmm...
[19:25] ---
    I dunno!
[19:26] ---
    I'm right here!
[19:28] ---
    Everyone, have you forgotten about me?!
[19:30] ---
    Ah, well. Let's get to work.
[19:33] ---
    Fried, sit down. I'm not done painting you.
[19:36] ---
    Um... What kind of job would I be able to do?
[19:37] ---
    Fine.
[19:40] ---
    Natsu! I'm here!
[19:43] ---
    Gray! Can't you hear me?!
[19:46] ---
    Erza! Happy! Wendy! Carla!
[19:49] ---
    Everyone!
[19:53] ---
    It's no use. None of them can hear me...
[19:57] ---
    Everyone's forgotten me...
[20:00] ---
    Because I never existed...
[20:04] ---
    Then it's just like I'm a ghost!
[20:07] ---
    I don't wanna be a ghost!
[20:21] ---
    Alright! What do you say we go to work?!
[20:24] ---
    Happy! Lucy! Let's go!
[20:26] ---
    Aye, sir!
[20:30] ---
    Lucy...?
[20:33] ---
    Lucy...
[20:36] ---
    That's right! Lucy!
[20:39] ---
    Our friend! Our teammate!
[20:42] ---
    That's right, Lucy!
[20:44] ---
    Lucy was here!
[20:45] ---
    I remember!
[20:47] ---
    Lucy-san!
[20:54] ---
    Natsu... Everyone!
[20:58] ---
    The magic was dispelled!
[21:00] ---
    Maybe the effect of the ointment was nullified when Natsu remembered her!
[21:05] ---
    Yeah, could be.
[21:08] ---
    Well, like they say, magic takes heart.
[21:12] ---
    And whether it's a little magic or a lot,
[21:14] ---
    nothin' can break the bond of the guild!
[21:16] ---
    You talk a good game, but the three of you didn't do a thing to help.
[21:24] ---
    Thank you, Natsu!
[21:26] ---
    When we go to work as a team, it's just gotta include you, Lucy!
[21:29] ---
    Aye!
[21:33] ---
    Sure, it was kind of fun being invisible,
[21:37] ---
    but it was way too lonely when my friends didn't notice I was there.
[21:42] ---
    I can't always count on them, but they're all my dear friends.
[21:50] ---
    I wanna get rid of this quick.
[21:52] ---
    I'm so glad you're back, Lucy!
[22:08] ---
    Natsu!
[22:11] ---
    Hey!
[22:12] ---
    What is this?!
[22:13] ---
    Where'd my face go?!
[22:15] ---
    Who are you?!
[22:16] ---
    It's me! Who the hell are you?!
[22:19] ---
    Maybe I do wish everyone was a little more level-headed...
[23:56] ---
    Natsu, have you seen Elfman?
[23:58] ---
    He went out on an errand for Mira.
[24:01] ---
    I wish I had a little brother, too...
[24:03] ---
    Hah? Why?
[24:04] ---
    So I could send him out shopping for me,
[24:06] ---
    and carry my things for me,
[24:08] ---
    and on top of that, I'd get the right to have one more fish than him!
[24:14] ---
    Next time: Father's Memento.
[24:16] ---
    Is that how you see those two?
[24:20] ---
    Isn't it like that?
[24:22] ---
    Your mind is too warped, Happy...
