[00:02] ---
    It is near...
[00:04] ---
    It is near!
[00:07] ---
    Time is etched, and then chaos descends!
[00:21] ---
    That dream again?
[00:28] ---
    Time is etched... and then chaos descends?
[02:07] ---
    So, what about a grave?
[02:10] ---
    About Lisanna's grave in the cathedral...
[02:13] ---
    What should we do about it?
[02:15] ---
    Are you gonna destroy it?
[02:17] ---
    I dunno about that...
[02:18] ---
    The church said we could
    do what we want with it.
[02:22] ---
    I remember now... We're
    the ones who made it.
[02:26] ---
    Do you have to bring that up now?
[02:29] ---
    Well, I suppose it'd be nice
    to leave as a memento.
[02:33] ---
    Just change the inscription, or something.
[02:35] ---
    I just thought about this at the
    church, but isn't it about time?
[02:38] ---
    For what?
[02:39] ---
    Oh yeah, paying respect to
    the archbishop or somethin'.
[02:42] ---
    I know!
[02:43] ---
    It's an important festival
    for the church, right?
[02:46] ---
    This archbishop person only comes out in
    front of people once every few years.
[02:51] ---
    A huge number of pilgrims gather just to get
    a glimpse of him, even from far off countries.
[02:59] ---
    You don't know anything, do you, Natsu?
[03:01] ---
    Can it already!
[03:03] ---
    Is that the truth?
[03:06] ---
    Yesterday, at dawn, the Akaza district
    church erupted in a fiery explosion.
[03:13] ---
    There have been more than 30 cases now.
[03:15] ---
    And yet we still have no
    clue who is behind it.
[03:19] ---
    We've analyzed a number of
    the destroyed churches...
[03:23] ---
    Many other countries are watching
    us carefully at this time.
[03:26] ---
    We must discover who is responsible
    and arrest them in all haste.
[03:30] ---
    The good name of the Enforcement Corps
    will be tarnished at this rate.
[03:34] ---
    And it will be we, the Magic
    Council, that will take the blame.
[03:37] ---
    Make every effort.
[03:39] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:49] ---
    Father's Memento.
[03:53] ---
    How awful... Again?
[03:55] ---
    Some kind of trouble?
[03:57] ---
    It's a string of church bombings!
[04:00] ---
    Sounds quite dangerous to me.
[04:01] ---
    Oh, I know him! We met him during
    that Nirvana business...
[04:04] ---
    Hasn't changed a bit in seven years...
[04:08] ---
    What's wrong, Natsu-nii?
[04:10] ---
    He said he was tired from working in
    the fields, so he's taking a nap.
[04:14] ---
    Strange that serial bombings
    like this just pop up...
[04:17] ---
    We've been out of the loop
    for seven years, so...
[04:20] ---
    Thanks to that, my prediction powers
    don't seem to be working right.
[04:24] ---
    I can only see vague, inconclusive things.
[04:26] ---
    Really?
[04:27] ---
    Yes, really.
[04:29] ---
    What smell is this?
[04:31] ---
    Look who's awake.
[04:32] ---
    Lucy-nee, you've got a visitor!
[04:37] ---
    Lucy-nee's the one over there.
[04:40] ---
    Thank you so much.
[04:42] ---
    Who is she?
[04:43] ---
    Um...
[04:46] ---
    You are Lucy Heartfilia?
[04:49] ---
    Yes, that's me... And you are...?
[04:53] ---
    Who... am I?
[04:58] ---
    Michelle Lobster!
[05:02] ---
    And?!
[05:03] ---
    Someone you know?
[05:05] ---
    Don't go making her cry off the bat.
[05:08] ---
    I'm sorry... It's been quite a long time, so
    I suppose it's no surprise you don't remember.
[05:14] ---
    Would you like a tissue?
[05:15] ---
    What a beauty... Who is she?
[05:18] ---
    See, I really don't...
[05:20] ---
    Let me start over. I am Michelle Lobster.
[05:25] ---
    It's been too long, Lucy-neesan!
[05:29] ---
    N-Neesan?!
[05:33] ---
    The shocking truth! Lucy's old man
    had an illegitimate daughter!
[05:37] ---
    No, no... The Lobster family and the
    Heartfilia family are distantly related.
[05:41] ---
    Oh, so you're Lucy's relative.
[05:44] ---
    I see now.
[05:45] ---
    But, why call her "neesan"?
[05:48] ---
    Guess that's what they mean when
    they say "a world of difference"...
[05:50] ---
    I don't really get it, but
    you're Lucy's daughter, then?
[05:54] ---
    How'd you draw that conclusion?!
[05:55] ---
    I'm just kidding, sheesh.
[06:00] ---
    So wait, why are you addressing
    me like I'm older?
[06:03] ---
    Because you are.
[06:05] ---
    Wait... You clearly look older than I am.
[06:10] ---
    But...
[06:11] ---
    Natsu, are you following
    what they're saying?
[06:13] ---
    So it's like, that Time Ark thing?
[06:15] ---
    No...
[06:17] ---
    We had our time stopped for
    seven years on Tenroujima,
[06:21] ---
    but for everyone else time
    moved forward, right?
[06:23] ---
    When you consider Lucy's
    actual age, it's not strange
[06:26] ---
    for Michelle to call her "neesan"
    as if she's an older relative.
[06:32] ---
    Natsu seems to be refusing
    to think about it.
[06:34] ---
    My, my...
[06:35] ---
    I finally... I finally am able to meet you!
[06:40] ---
    Now, now... And by the
    way, what's that case?
[06:44] ---
    It's...
[06:46] ---
    I've come to give this... to you...
[06:53] ---
    I've been searching for you forever
    in order to give it to you!
[06:58] ---
    Stop makin' her cry! And
    you call yourself a Man?!
[07:00] ---
    I call myself a girl!
[07:02] ---
    Boy, this thing is heavy.
[07:04] ---
    What's with her?
[07:06] ---
    Looks like we got proof she's related
    to Lucy... Just as noisy...
[07:13] ---
    So, what is it?
[07:15] ---
    It's a memento of your
    father, Jude Heartfilia.
[07:22] ---
    I helped Uncle Jude for a
    little while with his work.
[07:27] ---
    And I was there when he passed away...
[07:31] ---
    He asked me to pass this along to you.
[07:35] ---
    Father's... last request?
[07:41] ---
    He was always worried about
    you after you went missing.
[07:45] ---
    But he said that he knew you were still alive
    out there, somewhere, and asked me to find you.
[07:53] ---
    He passed away peacefully,
    as if going to sleep.
[07:56] ---
    Ever since that day, I've
    been searching for you.
[08:02] ---
    And now, I've finally met you!
[08:05] ---
    With this, I can fulfill
    Uncle Jude's dying wish!
[08:12] ---
    What's inside?
[08:14] ---
    I don't know.
[08:15] ---
    All I was told was to give
    this case to you, so...
[08:20] ---
    Father...
[08:22] ---
    Open 'er up!
[08:25] ---
    Why don't you see what's inside?
[08:26] ---
    She searched like crazy for you, remember.
[08:30] ---
    Why don't you let her see this thing
    she took all this trouble to deliver?
[08:34] ---
    Sure.
[08:41] ---
    Um...
[08:42] ---
    What the heck?
[08:44] ---
    This wrapping...
[08:46] ---
    I think it's got a spell on it.
[08:48] ---
    That must be what I smelled earlier.
[08:51] ---
    Carla?
[08:52] ---
    Is something the matter?
[08:53] ---
    No... Never mind...
[08:58] ---
    What is this?
[09:00] ---
    Is it something that Uncle Jude valued?
[09:04] ---
    Dunno... I don't recall
    ever seeing it before.
[09:09] ---
    Gotta be a weapon!
[09:10] ---
    I don't think so.
[09:12] ---
    I remember now!
[09:14] ---
    So, it is a weapon?
[09:16] ---
    No.
[09:17] ---
    Then, what is it?
[09:19] ---
    I...
[09:21] ---
    ...haven't eaten anything
    in the past three days.
[09:28] ---
    Your guild seems like a fun place.
[09:30] ---
    My father really is forgetful sometimes.
[09:32] ---
    I can't believe he forgot to
    tell you about Fairy Tail!
[09:36] ---
    Well, I found you were
    in the guild right away.
[09:40] ---
    Oh, right. But we'd all disappeared.
[09:44] ---
    So, you're a Celestial Wizard, Nee-sama?
[09:47] ---
    I really like this job!
[09:48] ---
    Lucy-chan, that's dangerous!
[09:50] ---
    And Fairy Tail, too!
[09:52] ---
    Sure, a lot of them lack any delicacy...
[09:55] ---
    But they're all good folks, and if anything
    happens they band together and fight!
[10:00] ---
    And they value their friends above all else.
[10:10] ---
    Uncle Jude was really proud of you.
[10:15] ---
    Thank you for coming to see me, Michelle.
[10:23] ---
    Ta-da! This is my castle now!
[10:28] ---
    It's thanks to my father that
    I've been able to live here.
[10:35] ---
    Wait over there, I'll make some tea.
[10:38] ---
    If it's not any trouble...
[10:39] ---
    No trouble at all!
[10:41] ---
    Honestly, I'm overjoyed.
[10:44] ---
    I lost my mother early, seven years
    flew by before I realized it...
[10:49] ---
    And my father...
[10:51] ---
    Who would have thought I'd have a relative?
[10:54] ---
    Well, everyone in the guild
    is like my family, kind of...
[10:58] ---
    But honestly, I...
[11:03] ---
    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
[11:04] ---
    What happens to Iris after this?!
[11:07] ---
    That's what the tears are about?
[11:09] ---
    And hey, don't read that without permission!
[11:14] ---
    Nee-san, you write novels?
[11:17] ---
    Eat or talk: Pick one.
[11:20] ---
    But, what is this thing?
[11:23] ---
    I couldn't find any information on it.
[11:26] ---
    That's so cool. I envy you.
[11:29] ---
    You've got a dream for your future. You're
    already a wizard... What a fulfilling life.
[11:35] ---
    You think?
[11:37] ---
    Yes!
[11:39] ---
    I don't have any dreams.
[11:45] ---
    So, what are you going to do now?
[11:55] ---
    Why don't you stay here, then?
[12:00] ---
    You can stay here.
[12:02] ---
    But, are you sure I won't be in the way?
[12:04] ---
    Not at all!
[12:05] ---
    I welcome you with open arms!
[12:10] ---
    Then I'll look for a job here in
    Magnolia and we can share the rent!
[12:17] ---
    Um, need a tissue?
[12:19] ---
    But hey, if you want work,
    why not work at Fairy Tail?
[12:22] ---
    Me, work at Fairy Tail?
[12:36] ---
    Michelle Lobster came to deliver
    a memento to me from my father.
[12:41] ---
    Cheers!
[12:43] ---
    Like an older, younger sister
    that suddenly showed up.
[12:46] ---
    Cleaning, laundry, sewing, cooking...
[12:49] ---
    She can do everything, and
    really makes my life easier.
[12:54] ---
    She doesn't speak much about herself,
    but she seems somehow helpless.
[12:59] ---
    Although there's a lot of things about
    her you'd mistake at first glance.
[13:03] ---
    Something just makes you
    want to protect her.
[13:07] ---
    I've got to up my game.
[13:11] ---
    Mother, I wonder if Father got her to
    come to me so I wouldn't be lonely?
[13:22] ---
    "Work! Let's go, Lucy!" ...he says!
[13:26] ---
    Asuka-chan, you came today?
[13:28] ---
    She's taken a real liking to me.
[13:30] ---
    Mustache, mustache!
[13:31] ---
    Hey, hey!
[13:33] ---
    Natsu's looking for you.
[13:34] ---
    Time to round up some bandits.
[13:36] ---
    Bandits?
[13:37] ---
    You're late, Lucy!
[13:39] ---
    Time's a wastin'!
[13:41] ---
    I would like to come see this job!
[13:45] ---
    No way! It's dangerous!
[13:47] ---
    But, I would like to see what
    it's like being a wizard...
[13:51] ---
    It's a blast!
[13:52] ---
    Especially the part about never knowing
    what'll happen with this team.
[13:57] ---
    Me? I don't mind.
[13:59] ---
    But, what will the Master say?
[14:01] ---
    Master?
[14:02] ---
    V!
[14:03] ---
    V-V!
[14:04] ---
    You heard the man.
[14:06] ---
    4th, what say you?
[14:07] ---
    Sure, I'll let you go.
[14:09] ---
    I have no objections, either.
[14:11] ---
    Everything is an experience.
[14:13] ---
    And you get the most out of things that
    other people say you're not ready for.
[14:17] ---
    Remember how you went off on an S Class
    quest right after you joined, Lucy?
[14:22] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[14:24] ---
    Okay. Well, why don't you come along?
[14:26] ---
    Yay!
[14:27] ---
    Everyone will be together, and if
    anything happens, I'll protect you!
[14:34] ---
    Alrighty!
[14:36] ---
    This'll be the "Bandit Hunt in Honor of Lucy
     Getting a Little Sister"! I'm all fired up!
[14:41] ---
    According to the request flier, the
    victims now all suffer from nightmares.
[14:46] ---
    Sounds like they had a
    real number done on 'em.
[14:49] ---
    The soldiers from the kingdom
     scoured the mountains,
[14:52] ---
    but they all came back
     crying like babies, it says.
[14:54] ---
    Yeah, I knew this sounded dangerous...
[14:56] ---
    Oh yes, is anyone else hungry?
[14:58] ---
    You are? I'm fine, thanks.
[15:01] ---
    It's amazing that you're more reliable
    than the kingdom's soldiers!
[15:05] ---
    When you put it that way, I suppose.
[15:09] ---
    I borrowed it from the client!
[15:11] ---
    Your driving is nuts!
[15:13] ---
    Here's the plan.
[15:14] ---
    First, in order to catch the bandits off
    guard, Lucy and I will ride in the front,
[15:19] ---
    to provide the illusion
    of two women traveling.
[15:21] ---
    Natsu, Gray, and Michelle who is here to
    observe, will hide themselves in the back.
[15:26] ---
    After they surround us, Lucy will use her
    sex appeal to distract the ones in front,
[15:30] ---
    and in the meantime, Natsu and Gray
    will clean up the guys in the back.
[15:34] ---
    For the rest, we'll attack
    on both sides and...
[15:35] ---
    Hold it a sec!
[15:37] ---
    I can't go riding in no carriage!
[15:38] ---
    Oho? You have an objection to
    my plan? Some nerve you've got.
[15:42] ---
    I'm not budging from this position!
[15:44] ---
    What's the matter?
[15:45] ---
    He can't handle transportation.
[15:47] ---
    That's an odd weakness.
[15:49] ---
    Figure it out yet?
[15:50] ---
    Put your clothes back on!
[15:52] ---
    If you'd like, I can handle the reins.
[15:56] ---
    That means you'll be a decoy, you know.
[15:58] ---
    It's dangerous.
[15:59] ---
    It'll be easier if we concentrate our
    attack power in the back, right?
[16:02] ---
    And I want to be helpful, too!
[16:05] ---
    What'll we do?
[16:10] ---
    Oh, my...
[16:11] ---
    More customers?
[16:12] ---
    Quite a large haul today.
[16:16] ---
    In the end, this is the compromise...
[16:18] ---
    Quiet already.
[16:20] ---
    This is all thanks to Erza and
    her annoying plans, anyway.
[16:24] ---
    Complain to Erza, then!
[16:26] ---
    No thanks!
[16:27] ---
    You tell her.
[16:28] ---
    Figured you'd say that.
[16:30] ---
    Here they are.
[16:31] ---
    Don't leave my side, okay?
[16:37] ---
    Here we go... Erza plan, step one!
[16:40] ---
    Right!
[16:41] ---
    Well helloooo there, fellas!
[16:45] ---
    All set?
[16:46] ---
    Sure.
[16:47] ---
    And what's this Erza plan, again?
[16:49] ---
    We're like, totally lost!
[16:53] ---
    Step one, success!
[16:54] ---
    Oh my, how indecent!
[16:56] ---
    This girl is just...
[16:58] ---
    I can't believe this!
[16:59] ---
    My skin is just as shiny as yours!
[17:01] ---
    Same for me!
[17:02] ---
    Enough with Miss Ugly, let's get the cargo.
[17:04] ---
    This wasn't in the plan!
[17:06] ---
    Maybe they've got cosmetic supplies!
[17:08] ---
    Me, I want sweets!
[17:12] ---
    Sorry, but we're the cargo!
[17:14] ---
    It's a man!
[17:15] ---
    He's cute!
[17:17] ---
    Fools!
[17:19] ---
    How dare you make a mockery of my plan
    I stayed up all night thinking of!
[17:23] ---
    I'll arrest you all at once!
[17:25] ---
    Stop right there, criminal scum!
[17:26] ---
    Stayed up all night? Sheesh...
[17:29] ---
    You're wizards?! You tricked us!
[17:32] ---
    You're not what we expected, either.
[17:34] ---
    This is unforgivable.
[17:36] ---
    Onee-sama!
[17:37] ---
    How dare you defile we pure
    maidens with your filthy deceit!
[17:42] ---
    How dare you look down on us just
    because you were born a woman!
[17:46] ---
    Onee-sama, so cute!
[17:49] ---
    I see now...
[17:50] ---
    I guess this is what people
    were having nightmares of.
[17:54] ---
    It's time for your punishment!
[17:56] ---
    Get down, Lucy-neesan!
[18:00] ---
    Hey, what are you doing?
[18:02] ---
    Now! Fleuve d'Etoile!
[18:06] ---
    Huh? Hey, what's the deal?!
[18:09] ---
    Out of magic power? That shouldn't be...
[18:12] ---
    Here we go, Happy!
[18:13] ---
    Aye, sir!
[18:15] ---
    Dazzling Blaze of the Fire Dragon!
[18:21] ---
    So, will you come with
    us without resistance?
[18:24] ---
    Wow! I'm dazzled!
[18:27] ---
    Your team really is strong, Nee-san!
[18:30] ---
    Yeah, I'll try and work hard too next time.
[18:33] ---
    How was it?
[18:35] ---
    Wizards are amazing...
[18:37] ---
    Guilds are a lot of fun!
[18:39] ---
    Yup. We make a ton of racket,
    but there's never a dull day.
[18:47] ---
    So, what'd you find?
[18:50] ---
    I got an acquaintance of
    mine to look into things.
[18:52] ---
    Laki's gone to get the report.
[18:55] ---
    Oh, speak of the devil.
[18:56] ---
    Good work.
[18:58] ---
    Sorry about making you
    handle this kind of stuff.
[19:00] ---
    At any rate, this is what they found.
[19:03] ---
    The Lobster Family really was a wealthy
    plantation family concentrated in the Zentopia Church Parish.
[19:08] ---
    Guess I was worried for nothing.
[19:10] ---
    Well, there was the time with
    Mest... I mean, Dranbalt.
[19:13] ---
    But it's still a relief.
[19:14] ---
    Hold up a second. The Lobster family was a
    wealthy plantation family? Why the past tense?
[19:18] ---
    That's because a number of years
    ago there was a terrible incident.
[19:23] ---
    Oh, you mean that.
[19:24] ---
    Then, Michelle is a survivor?
[19:28] ---
    I don't understand this at all.
[19:30] ---
    Burnt to the ground, and this time corroded?
[19:33] ---
    If I consider the distance between each
    parish, and the varied magic traces,
[19:37] ---
    I can come to no other conclusion
    than there are multiple culprits.
[19:41] ---
    No...
[19:42] ---
    Who is he?
[19:43] ---
    He seems to have been out
    when the tragedy happened.
[19:46] ---
    What? But I heard there was
    a body discovered here...
[19:50] ---
    Yes...
[19:51] ---
    But I was sure this church
    only had the one priest...
[19:54] ---
    Then, who was the victim?
[19:57] ---
    He's very insistent that
    there was no one there.
[20:05] ---
    Um, Lucy-neesan... I've been thinking.
[20:10] ---
    What?
[20:10] ---
    As long as you can pay money, guilds
    will do what you want, right?
[20:15] ---
    Guess so.
[20:17] ---
    I was thinking, why not request the
    guild to investigate that memento?
[20:23] ---
    That's so smart of you, Michelle!
[20:26] ---
    I see.
[20:28] ---
    Never heard of a wizard
    asking a wizard for help!
[20:32] ---
    Hand over a request flier upstairs.
[20:34] ---
    We'll pass it on.
[20:36] ---
    Good idea, Lucy!
[20:39] ---
    Who's gonna volunteer?
[20:41] ---
    Putting in a request for the guild?
[20:43] ---
    I got permission!
[20:45] ---
    I want to do something to help you
    understand what Uncle Jude wanted to say to you.
[20:54] ---
    Okay! Then, I'll take it on!
[20:56] ---
    Don't break it now. Understand?
[20:59] ---
    Quiet, you! I know that!
[21:02] ---
    So, it's a fateful union?
[21:05] ---
    They've both lost their families...
[21:08] ---
    But...
[21:09] ---
    You went and researched
    her identity... Not bad.
[21:13] ---
    Well, I am the Master, after all.
[21:15] ---
    This is how I got us
    through these seven years.
[21:19] ---
    Speaking of which...
[21:21] ---
    There's something else that's worrying me...
[21:26] ---
    Hey!
[21:28] ---
    Are you okay?
[21:31] ---
    What?
[21:32] ---
    What in the world?
[21:45] ---
    Something's appearing!
[21:47] ---
    It's letters.
[21:49] ---
    Those ancient letters?
[21:51] ---
    In that case, get Levy-chan to...
[21:53] ---
    She's not here! She's off far
    away with Shadow Gear on a job.
[21:58] ---
    And so is Fried.
[21:59] ---
    It's trying to tell us something...
[22:02] ---
    Father...
[22:04] ---
    Can't you read those characters, Gramps?
[22:07] ---
    Lucy... You'd be better off not
    getting involved with this.
[22:12] ---
    What do you mean?
[22:16] ---
    But, Father...
[22:19] ---
    I'm going to solve this
    riddle, no matter what!
[23:56] ---
    Sheesh... Challenging
    Laxus to a fight, again?
[23:59] ---
    You just never learn, Natsu.
[24:01] ---
    Hey, it's not just me! Gajeel's the same way!
[24:04] ---
    But you challenge Erza to a
    fight indiscriminately, too!
[24:07] ---
    That's what it means to be a man
    always striving for the top!
[24:09] ---
    That's what it means to be a
    man who doesn't know his place.
[24:12] ---
    Got it?
[24:13] ---
    Next time: Raging Battle! Natsu vs. Laxus!
[24:16] ---
    Then, what about Lucy?
[24:18] ---
    Lucy's still fighting with that short stick.
[24:21] ---
    So after becoming an invisible figure,
    she wants to be a stick figure?
