[00:03] ---
    How's it going, Lucy-neesan? Have
    you found the ancient letters?
[00:07] ---
    Nope. I'm not having any luck at all...
[00:10] ---
    Lucy, we've got work.
[00:12] ---
    We're going off to capture
    some gold-stealing bandits.
[00:16] ---
    Don't tell me it's the
    Jiggle Butt Gang again?
[00:18] ---
    I dunno, but we'll find out along the way.
[00:21] ---
    Sorry, I'm gonna take a pass this time.
[00:23] ---
    We haven't gotten any farther
    with deciphering the writing
[00:25] ---
    that appeared on the iron rod...
[00:27] ---
    Where's Natsu?
[00:29] ---
    I don't know. It looks like
    he went out somewhere.
[00:32] ---
    That's it then. The two of us will go.
[00:34] ---
    Yeah...
[00:36] ---
    Wait a second! By "the two of us",
    you mean just you and me, Erza?
[00:41] ---
    Do you have a problem with that?
[00:44] ---
    Well, I, uh...
[00:46] ---
    No, no problem.
[00:47] ---
    If everything goes smoothly, we
    should be home by this evening.
[00:50] ---
    Let's get a move on.
[00:53] ---
    There is a problem, Gray-sama...
[00:56] ---
    In the first place, why
    didn't you invite Juvia?
[01:00] ---
    How thoughtless!
[02:36] ---
    Not even one bite...
[02:38] ---
    Our lunch is on the line here,
    so take it more seriously!
[02:43] ---
    Alright, leave it to me...
[02:47] ---
    Wake up!
[02:52] ---
    You want something?
[02:56] ---
    I've got a little bone to pick
    with the members of Fairy Tail...
[03:01] ---
    You're one of them, aren't you?
[03:04] ---
    What if I am?
[03:05] ---
    What if you are? Then I'll
    flatten you like a pancake!
[03:11] ---
    Pain in the ass...
[03:20] ---
    That's...
[03:24] ---
    It has to be...
[03:26] ---
    What's wrong?
[03:28] ---
    It's Laxus.
[03:30] ---
    That bastard! I was wondering
    where he went off to,
[03:34] ---
    but it looks like he's
    been livin' around here!
[03:36] ---
    But Laxus is still in exile.
[03:38] ---
    You probably saw something else!
[03:40] ---
    I'm gonna check it out!
[03:42] ---
    Natsu!
[03:44] ---
    Wait for me!
[03:48] ---
    Raging Battle! Natsu vs. Laxus!
[03:55] ---
    Gajeel!
[03:56] ---
    Salamander!
[03:57] ---
    Where you goin'?
[03:58] ---
    Where you goin'?!
[04:00] ---
    Wherever I want!
[04:02] ---
    Same here!
[04:04] ---
    Don't follow me!
[04:05] ---
    You get outta my face!
[04:07] ---
    Oh yeah?!
[04:07] ---
    You wanna have a go?!
[04:11] ---
    Cut it out, both of you!
[04:13] ---
    The idea was to check out the
    source of that lightning, right?
[04:16] ---
    Yeah, and if it's Laxus, I'm
    gonna have a showdown with him!
[04:21] ---
    You wouldn't be able to beat Laxus yet!
[04:24] ---
    After all, that one time...
[04:31] ---
    I totally pitched in and even
    then, look what happened.
[04:36] ---
    Shut up! I didn't need your help then!
[04:40] ---
    Next time, I'm gonna win for sure!
[04:42] ---
    No, I'm gonna win!
[04:44] ---
    That's enough out of you two.
[04:50] ---
    Laxus?!
[04:53] ---
    It really was Laxus!
[04:55] ---
    Laxus!
[04:58] ---
    What, Natsu is here too?
[05:00] ---
    And Gajeel?!
[05:01] ---
    Stop carrying on like little kids.
[05:03] ---
    Laxus, you're livin' around here?
[05:08] ---
    The place I moved to just
    happens to be near here.
[05:13] ---
    Then you oughta come back to the guild.
[05:16] ---
    Mind your own business.
[05:18] ---
    I don't give a crap if you come back or not.
[05:21] ---
    But since you're here, let's settle
    once and for all who's stronger!
[05:25] ---
    With me too.
[05:28] ---
    I know your game.
[05:31] ---
    You wanna piss me off so I'll battle
    you, but I'm not gonna bite.
[05:37] ---
    You gonna run away?
[05:38] ---
    'Scuse me?
[05:40] ---
    You ain't the kinda guy that backs down
    when someone picks a fight, are you...
[05:43] ---
    ...Laxus?!
[05:45] ---
    What are you trying to pull, Natsu?
[05:52] ---
    Fine.
[05:54] ---
    Alright!
[05:55] ---
    Laxus doesn't have to fight.
[05:58] ---
    Your opponents are the Raijinshuu.
[06:00] ---
    Our fate is joined with Laxus!
[06:06] ---
    No, no. My own fists will pound
    some sense into their thick skulls.
[06:10] ---
    Music to my ears!
[06:13] ---
    Alright, Natsu. I'll start with you.
[06:19] ---
    Stop right there!
[06:21] ---
    Wendy...
[06:22] ---
    I think something like this should
    be carried out with a plan!
[06:26] ---
    A plan?
[06:28] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:29] ---
    The showdown is tomorrow!
[06:33] ---
    I don't know what you mean, but fine.
[06:36] ---
    Alright, our battle's tomorrow.
[06:38] ---
    Let's have it at the Sola
    tree in the South Gate Park!
[06:41] ---
    And you fight me after that.
[06:44] ---
    Whatever...
[06:49] ---
    A duel, seriously?!
[06:51] ---
    Those two never learn their lesson...
[06:54] ---
    I guess Laxus has been living
    in a corner of Magnolia.
[06:59] ---
    Who cares about that?! Showdowns are a Man!
[07:03] ---
    But are Natsu and Gajeel going to be okay?
[07:06] ---
    Look, you...
[07:08] ---
    Well, I don't think there is any way you
    can have a "safe" battle with Laxus...
[07:14] ---
    Is Laxus really that strong?
[07:16] ---
    Strong, hell. When he was part of the guild,
[07:20] ---
    he was probably only second to
    Gildarts when it came to strength.
[07:23] ---
    Okay! As Master here, it's
    my duty to liven this up!
[07:28] ---
    Festival, I say! Festival!
[07:30] ---
    Festivals are a Man!
[07:32] ---
    That's a great idea! It's a rare
    occasion, so let's have fun with it!
[07:35] ---
    Agreed!
[07:40] ---
    Hey!
[07:41] ---
    What the heck is this?!
    There's a festival goin' on?!
[07:45] ---
    Looks like everyone's having a good time!
[07:46] ---
    You're the cause of this!
[07:49] ---
    This is wonderful! There
    are so many food stands!
[07:54] ---
    You've really got an appetite tonight...
[07:57] ---
    What's this festival about?
[07:59] ---
    We heard the news about your duel...
[08:01] ---
    They said it's a festival to get pumped
    up about the main event tomorrow.
[08:05] ---
    Huh...
[08:06] ---
    It's really because everyone
    here loves a good festival.
[08:09] ---
    Well, we haven't been getting
    anywhere with those ancient letters,
[08:13] ---
    so this is a perfect way for us
    to let off some steam, too...
[08:15] ---
    That over there looks delicious, too!
[08:17] ---
    Cool! Cool! Coooooool!
[08:21] ---
    Long time no see, everyone! Your reporter
    Jason here, from Weekly Sorcerer!
[08:26] ---
    Meeting again after seven years!
    And a festival to celebrate a duel!
[08:30] ---
    I've been waiting for this day to come!
[08:34] ---
    Pipe down!
[08:35] ---
    Just get the show on the road!
[08:38] ---
    Alright, alright, let me introduce the
    guest you've all been waiting for...
[08:42] ---
    The eternal songstress, Mirajane!
[08:45] ---
    Yay!
[08:50] ---
    You're gonna get some rock tonight.
[08:52] ---
    Attagirl, Neechan!
[08:54] ---
    Do it up!
[08:56] ---
    That's what I had in mind, anyway,
    but I've got a sore throat...
[09:02] ---
    Natsu, shouldn't you do something
    to get ready for tomorrow's fight?
[09:07] ---
    Not necessary.
[09:08] ---
    All I gotta do is pound the hell
    outta him with the power I've got.
[09:11] ---
    I see. So you haven't put any
    thought into it at all...
[09:16] ---
    Come to think of it, I wonder
    what Gajeel's up to...
[09:19] ---
    That bastard hates to lose,
[09:22] ---
    so he's probably off doin' some
    special training somewhere.
[09:24] ---
    And so, I would like to introduce
    a soulful singer in my stead!
[09:31] ---
    Take it away!
[09:34] ---
    That's Gajeel!
[09:35] ---
    That's special training?!
[09:39] ---
    Thanks for comin' here tonight on my behalf.
[09:43] ---
    We didn't come for you!
[09:45] ---
    Well, since you demanded it, I'm gonna
    favor you with an original song!
[09:48] ---
    Nobody demanded it!
[09:51] ---
    Listen up now, to... "Best Friend"!
[09:54] ---
    That again?!
[09:55] ---
    Colorful, colorful... Shooby doo bop!
[09:59] ---
    Tremble with love, steel grey metallic!
[10:02] ---
    A guitar and a white suit just
    doesn't go with Gajeel...
[10:07] ---
    And his song is weird, too...
[10:09] ---
    Yeah, right?!
[10:11] ---
    Levy-chan, you're back?!
[10:13] ---
    Yeah. I was out on my first job
    with Shadow Gear for a long time.
[10:17] ---
    Bite into it, hard! Sweet honey...
[10:18] ---
    Actually, there are some characters
    I'd like you to figure out, Levy-chan!
[10:23] ---
    Thank you!
[10:33] ---
    Guess we'll camp out here for the night...
[10:36] ---
    Even though I thought we'd have this
    wrapped up while it was still light out...
[10:39] ---
    At least we know where their hideout is.
[10:42] ---
    All we have to do now is wait 'til
    they come back with the gold.
[10:46] ---
    Right...
[10:59] ---
    Still, this is awkward...
[11:01] ---
    Being alone with Erza...
[11:04] ---
    It's like we've got nothing
    to say to each other...
[11:06] ---
    Gray...
[11:08] ---
    Aren't you going to strip?
[11:09] ---
    Hah?
[11:11] ---
    You can sleep better in the buff, yes?
[11:16] ---
    Where is this going?!
[11:18] ---
    Yeah, well, it depends on my mood...
[11:21] ---
    I mean, look at you, still
    wearing your armor...
[11:24] ---
    Now that you mention it... Good point.
[11:36] ---
    Gray...
[11:38] ---
    To bed.
[11:40] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[11:41] ---
    What's happening here?!
    What's happening here?!
[11:44] ---
    Telling him right out, "To bed"?!
[11:47] ---
    Oh, if only he said it like that to Juvia...
[11:54] ---
    Juvia, let's go to bed.
[11:58] ---
    This is no time to be imagining that!
[12:11] ---
    She's sleeping already?
[12:13] ---
    Jeez, doesn't she have
    even an ounce of caution?
[12:21] ---
    Yeesh. She's got a pretty face
    when she's quiet like this...
[12:30] ---
    They're back.
[12:32] ---
    R-Right...
[12:34] ---
    Let's go.
[12:35] ---
    Alright!
[12:37] ---
    Thank goodness nothing happened...
[12:45] ---
    Halt!
[12:46] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[12:48] ---
    I'm Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail!
[12:52] ---
    I don't think there's any need to
    introduce ourselves to these bums.
[12:55] ---
    We're here by request of the
    owner of that gold you stole.
[12:59] ---
    Don't bother resisting.
    Just hand over the gold.
[13:04] ---
    We thought something like this could happen,
[13:06] ---
    so we hired a couple bodyguards!
[13:09] ---
    That's your cue!
[13:11] ---
    If you want a big chunk of the
    loot, do a good job, gentlemen!
[13:16] ---
    Good evening.
[13:18] ---
    We're the notorious Vanish Brothers!
[13:31] ---
    Vanish Brothers... I've heard of you.
[13:35] ---
    If I recall, you're the guys
    Natsu beat the hell out of
[13:39] ---
    at Duke Everlue's mansion.
[13:41] ---
    That was a long time ago.
[13:44] ---
    Since then, we've had so much
    training that we're powerful enough
[13:46] ---
    to face even Erza of Fairy Tail without fear.
[13:51] ---
    Amusing. Yes, show us how
    powerful a mercenary guild is.
[13:56] ---
    No, I'm going to handle these two alone.
[13:59] ---
    What?!
[14:01] ---
    Natsu beat you by himself, didn't
    he? Then naturally, so will I.
[14:05] ---
    Brother, this guy is making light of us.
[14:08] ---
    Cool down. Think of this as business
    only. Don't take it personally.
[14:13] ---
    Anyway, all we have to do is
    beat him to a pulp, right?
[14:16] ---
    Yes. Come on!
[14:18] ---
    Ice Make...
[14:20] ---
    An ice wizard, eh?
[14:22] ---
    My Frying Pan has always been
    able to absorb fire attacks...
[14:26] ---
    ...but now it can also deal with ice!
[14:28] ---
    ...Lance!
[14:31] ---
    It also doubles the power it catches,
    converts it, and spurts it back out!
[14:36] ---
    That's not gonna touch me!
[14:41] ---
    He's got game.
[14:42] ---
    Bro, let's go with the you-know-what!
[14:45] ---
    Finishing Move: Destruction
    of Heaven and Earth!
[14:48] ---
    Face toward heaven and...
[14:51] ---
    ...earth is where we be!
[14:54] ---
    Face the earth and...
[14:55] ---
    ...heaven is where we be!
[14:59] ---
    No one can escape...
[15:04] ---
    ...this combo technique!
[15:10] ---
    Natsu defeated them before, but have
    they improved these past seven years?
[15:16] ---
    Gray-sama! Juvia will help you!
[15:19] ---
    Stay out of this!
[15:26] ---
    I'm not...
[15:27] ---
    ...feelin' a thing!
[15:29] ---
    Shut up! Here comes the finishing blow!
[15:32] ---
    If you're comin' at me from
    the heavens and earth,
[15:34] ---
    I've got something for you both!
[15:35] ---
    Icebringer!
[15:38] ---
    Why, you...!
[15:44] ---
    That's my Gray-sama...
[15:51] ---
    I guess Gray's also gotten better...
[15:54] ---
    These guys shouldn't have
    given you that much trouble.
[15:57] ---
    I wanted to have a little fun with it.
[16:01] ---
    We're going to return the gold
    you stole to its rightful owner.
[16:04] ---
    You have no complaints, do you?
[16:05] ---
    N-No, of course not!
[16:08] ---
    Now Juvia can go home with peace of mind.
[16:16] ---
    What's all this hullabaloo about?
[16:18] ---
    Not every day you have a showdown, Laxus,
[16:21] ---
    so everyone's been making a big
    to-do about it since last night.
[16:23] ---
    They're probably happy about getting the
    chance to see you again after so long.
[16:28] ---
    They're fools as always...
[16:30] ---
    But that's Fairy Tail.
[16:33] ---
    You know that more than anyone, Laxus!
[16:36] ---
    I'm not too sure about that...
[16:39] ---
    Would you buy this for me?!
[16:41] ---
    Alright, alright...
[16:44] ---
    What should I do?
[16:46] ---
    I told them to have the fight today
    to give them time to cool off...
[16:51] ---
    Not expecting it would
    become a major event, huh?
[16:53] ---
    Yes, this isn't what I had in mind at all!
[16:56] ---
    Is something wrong?
[16:59] ---
    Master!
[17:02] ---
    We were looking for you
    all over! Where were you?!
[17:04] ---
    Has something happened?
[17:06] ---
    Natsu-san and Gajeel-san are going
    to have a duel with Laxus-san!
[17:11] ---
    Say what?!?
[17:14] ---
    Coooooool!
[17:16] ---
    We have Laxus waiting patiently,
    as dignified as you'd expect!
[17:20] ---
    And there he is! Gajeel is in the house!
[17:24] ---
    The combatants glare at each other!
    There's tension in the air...
[17:34] ---
    And now Natsu is here!
[17:36] ---
    All the pieces are in place!
[17:40] ---
    Watch this, Happy.
[17:42] ---
    Aye, sir!
[17:44] ---
    Laxus stands up!
[17:46] ---
    Apparently, he's heading for Natsu first!
[17:56] ---
    You ready?
[17:57] ---
    Yeah.
[17:59] ---
    I don't have to hold back at all, do I?
[18:02] ---
    'Course not!
[18:04] ---
    Not gonna be my fault if you snuff it.
[18:09] ---
    The same goes for you, Laxus!
[18:15] ---
    Happy, get back.
[18:17] ---
    Give him what-for, Natsu!
[18:19] ---
    Oh, I will.
[18:42] ---
    There they go!
[18:51] ---
    Incredible feeling of tension...
[18:53] ---
    Whoever makes the first move will lose...
[19:03] ---
    It's over?!?
[19:11] ---
    Done with a single blow, huh?
[19:13] ---
    The usual instant kill, right?
[19:16] ---
    Natsu!
[19:18] ---
    I figured this would happen, Laxus!
[19:20] ---
    This is what you call a
    "difference in skill level".
[19:23] ---
    You're up next, right?
[19:26] ---
    Huh?
[19:27] ---
    Oh, no! Gajeel has disappeared?!
[19:29] ---
    Don't tell me that bastard has run off!
[19:32] ---
    What?!
[19:33] ---
    Comb the hills! No way are
    we gonna let him escape!
[19:37] ---
    Combing the hills is a Man!
[19:39] ---
    I've lost respect for you! Gajeel!
[19:42] ---
    Natsu, are you okay?
[20:07] ---
    I've got it!
[20:08] ---
    This is in ancient Potamelian.
[20:11] ---
    I've never heard of that.
[20:13] ---
    So what's it say, Levy-chan?
[20:17] ---
    "Time is etched and then chaos descends."
[20:21] ---
    Time is etched...
[20:23] ---
    ...and then chaos descends...
[20:27] ---
    I've heard that phrase before somewhere...
[20:31] ---
    Where?
[20:32] ---
    Umm... Uh...
[20:45] ---
    Wait, Laxus!
[20:47] ---
    Come back to Fairy Tail!
[20:50] ---
    Master! It's about time you
    lifted Laxus's expulsion!
[20:54] ---
    Master!
[21:06] ---
    Not here... Not here either...
[21:09] ---
    This is the one! It's from here!
[21:13] ---
    The phrase "time is etched and then
    chaos descends" appears in this book.
[21:19] ---
    What's the context?
[21:21] ---
    Um, let's see...
[21:24] ---
    It's a story about a clock
    that follows a strange destiny
[21:28] ---
    through the ages as it's passed
    on from one person to another.
[21:33] ---
    It's this pendulum clock!
[21:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:36] ---
    Look at this drawing!
[21:40] ---
    This isn't just some rod...
[21:43] ---
    It's the hand of a clock!
[21:50] ---
    Does it still hurt?
[21:52] ---
    This is nothin'!
[21:55] ---
    Ow...
[21:56] ---
    Where did that bastard Gajeel hide?!
[21:59] ---
    Macao and the others are searching,
    but they may not be able to find him.
[22:10] ---
    Has Gajeel come back?!
[22:16] ---
    Hey! Gajeel!
[22:20] ---
    Who are you people?
[23:55] ---
    Who the hell's come to pick
    a fight with Fairy Tail?!
[23:59] ---
    Huh? Feels like I've seen
    them somewhere before...
[24:01] ---
    Jeez, Natsu, you've got bad eyes!
[24:04] ---
    These guys were in Edolas!
[24:06] ---
    Really? They looked like this?
[24:08] ---
    Huh? Now that you mention it,
    they do seem kind of different...
[24:11] ---
    Your eyes are bad too, Happy!
[24:13] ---
    Next time: Targeted Lucy!
[24:16] ---
    It looks like they're after Lucy!
[24:19] ---
    She gets targeted a lot. Why is that?
[24:21] ---
    She's probably behind on
    her rent or something!
