[00:01] ---
    You're here to look for that clock part, too?!
[00:05] ---
    I believe this is our first time meeting. Shall I introduce myself?
[00:09] ---
    I'm Samuel.
[00:11] ---
    You're that Exceed Natsu and the others were talking about!
[00:13] ---
    That's right. I'm usually referred to as "the brains of Legion".
[01:51] ---
    This is the clock part?
[01:53] ---
    It's bigger than I thought it'd be...
[01:57] ---
    If we don't find some way to get it out of here...
[02:00] ---
    Hey!
[02:01] ---
    Still got fight left in you?!
[02:02] ---
    No. I've lost completely.
[02:05] ---
    I manfully acknowledge my defeat.
[02:07] ---
    So now will you tell us about Legion's goal?
[02:12] ---
    Yeah! Like what that clock is and the reason you're collecting the parts...
[02:17] ---
    We'd appreciate an explanation.
[02:20] ---
    Alright, already!
[02:23] ---
    At this point, I might as well give in and tell you everything!
[02:28] ---
    Alright, I'll fill you in on who I am and what my aim is.
[02:32] ---
    Let's begin!
[02:34] ---
    Why with a picture-story?
[02:39] ---
    Something Beyond Reckoning!
[02:43] ---
    I, Dan Straight, was born in a town called Cedar.
[02:48] ---
    They had knights there that protected the town and the church.
[02:52] ---
    People depended on them.
[02:54] ---
    The people in my family were knights for generation after generation.
[02:59] ---
    As the successor in my family, I was raised with tender care and affection,
[03:03] ---
    and had a happy childhood.
[03:07] ---
    However, those peaceful days didn't last long.
[03:11] ---
    At one point, a civil war flared up that split the town in half.
[03:17] ---
    You have a surprisingly hard past...
[03:20] ---
    Then your family became embroiled in the battle too and suffered...
[03:25] ---
    No.
[03:26] ---
    The battle was over after half a day and none of my kin were harmed.
[03:30] ---
    Everybody in town quickly patched things up, too.
[03:33] ---
    That was fast!
[03:34] ---
    Wasn't it more of just a fight than "civil war"?
[03:37] ---
    But now I'm getting to the main point!
[03:40] ---
    At the time, there was a beautiful girl who went to my school
[03:44] ---
    and I fell in love with her, my first love.
[03:47] ---
    However, after the battle was over, that girl was missing!
[03:52] ---
    Missing? Then she was caught up in the battle...
[03:56] ---
    Did she lose her life that day...?
[03:59] ---
    That girl bore a slight resemblance to Lu-nyan.
[04:04] ---
    It's so sad!
[04:06] ---
    So that's why you fell in love with Lucy at first sight, huh?
[04:09] ---
    You can never understand a person's situation until you hear about it, you know?
[04:13] ---
    So what happened to the girl?
[04:18] ---
    The next day... I found her and she was fine!
[04:21] ---
    What's that?!
[04:23] ---
    I would whisper of love to her and ask her hand in marriage nearly every day,
[04:27] ---
    but it seems she was frightened by how happy that made her.
[04:31] ---
    I'm sure she thought, "I'm not worthy of Dan-san's love."
[04:36] ---
    I was charmed by that modesty, too.
[04:39] ---
    The pictures don't really seem to match the story...
[04:43] ---
    She obviously didn't like him.
[04:46] ---
    Ultimately, she refused marriage, and I shed tears for three days and nights.
[04:51] ---
    Then, to assuage my sorrow, I embarked on a sentimental journey.
[04:56] ---
    During my wanderings, I happened across various women.
[05:02] ---
    They're all different types, huh?
[05:04] ---
    You weren't chasing the image of the first girl you fell in love with?
[05:09] ---
    No, that wasn't it at all!
[05:11] ---
    To be honest, I'd be happy with any woman in the vicinity who caught my eye.
[05:15] ---
    That offends me for some reason...
[05:18] ---
    And yet, no matter who she was, there was a compelling reason
[05:22] ---
    why we couldn't be together.
[05:24] ---
    Love and peace aren't permitted.
[05:27] ---
    That's the fate of a knight who lives to fight.
[05:30] ---
    Again, the story and pictures don't match up.
[05:33] ---
    I bet they all turned him down.
[05:35] ---
    That makes me think, who drew these pictures?
[05:40] ---
    Hughes and Sugar Boy drew them based on my diary and photos.
[05:46] ---
    They relied on guesswork to fill in the blanks, so the truth is mixed in with something else.
[05:50] ---
    I'm positive the drawings are a better representative of what really happened.
[05:54] ---
    And somewhere along the line, I became a Legionnaire.
[05:57] ---
    Right now, I'm following Byro-sama's instructions to gather the parts of the clock.
[06:03] ---
    The end! I explained who I am and what I'm after!
[06:07] ---
    And they all lived happily ever after!
[06:08] ---
    Um... What we want to know
[06:11] ---
    is what Legion is and what Legion is after!
[06:15] ---
    I can't talk about Legion's secrets!
[06:18] ---
    If I did that, Byro-sama would punish me!
[06:21] ---
    Then what was that story of yours?!
[06:24] ---
    And on top of that, it turned out he has a humdrum past...
[06:26] ---
    Of course, I was talking about myself so you would get to know me better!
[06:31] ---
    Now let's get married, Lu-nyan!
[06:34] ---
    Lu-nyan!
[06:36] ---
    Yeesh. I've so had enough of him...
[06:39] ---
    What should we do, Natsu-nii? There's no point in hanging out with the likes of him.
[06:42] ---
    Lu-nyan!
[06:43] ---
    Get away from me!
[06:44] ---
    But we can't leave yet.
[06:44] ---
    Let's get married!
[06:45] ---
    Never!
[06:46] ---
    Lu-nyan!
[06:47] ---
    We promised to rendezvous with the other members of the guild here.
[06:48] ---
    Lu-nyan, come on!
[06:51] ---
    Oh, well. Guess there's nothin' to do but wait.
[06:53] ---
    Don't just wait there, help me!
[06:57] ---
    Huh? What happened to the other Legionnaire?
[07:03] ---
    You mean Coco! Maybe she got hurt again somewhere...
[07:07] ---
    More likely she escaped.
[07:09] ---
    There's no need to worry about her. She's the enemy.
[07:12] ---
    But I think that girl is kind and sincere at heart.
[07:16] ---
    That's the same as me!
[07:18] ---
    Stay away from me!
[07:21] ---
    Wait for me!
[07:21] ---
    If possible, I don't want to hurt her...
[07:22] ---
    Get away!
[07:23] ---
    Let's get married!
[07:25] ---
    What are you saying, Coco?!
[07:27] ---
    You're a Legionnaire, so you've got to carry out your mission!
[07:35] ---
    If you wanna fight, just bring it on, Sammy!
[07:39] ---
    Don't take it upon yourself to abbreviate my name. It's Samuel.
[07:44] ---
    I'll take care of him.
[07:46] ---
    The rest of you find that clock part as soon as possible.
[07:49] ---
    Panther Lily...
[07:51] ---
    You're an Exceed, older than me.
[07:53] ---
    I suppose you're like a "big brother" figure to me.
[07:57] ---
    You got no reason to call me your big brother!
[08:00] ---
    Don't be so cold.
[08:02] ---
    As fellow Exceeds, we should be friends, don't you think... Nii-san?
[08:07] ---
    You tryin' to bug me, Sammy?!
[08:10] ---
    Gajeel, Lily's right! Let's hurry and dig up that part!
[08:14] ---
    Yeah, alright... but you better not lose!
[08:18] ---
    I know about you. Even though you're an Exceed, you supported the humans
[08:22] ---
    and went through hell because of it.
[08:25] ---
    It was based on faith.
[08:28] ---
    I don't think it was a mistake.
[08:30] ---
    It seems you're not favored by nature. You should face things in a more clever manner.
[08:35] ---
    Like me...
[08:37] ---
    Unfortunately, I'm not made to reckon profits and losses, and then act accordingly.
[08:42] ---
    I see. Nii-san, it appears that you and I...
[08:45] ---
    ...are just incompatible, huh, Sammy?!
[08:48] ---
    Now you're talking...
[08:52] ---
    Here I come!
[08:53] ---
    Brains aren't my only strong point! But I'll show you what I mean!
[09:10] ---
    What is this?!
[09:12] ---
    Ruins with weird faces...
[09:21] ---
    Tryin' to get away?! Stay here an' face me fair and square!
[09:24] ---
    Clashing with each other directly is what slow-witted beings so.
[09:29] ---
    The clever ones think of strategy, the process, and results before fighting!
[09:41] ---
    We Legionnaires have performed rigorous ascetic exercises that you couldn't even imagine, Nii-san,
[09:46] ---
    We're trained to deal with every type of situation!
[09:50] ---
    What?!
[09:53] ---
    This is all working out according to my calculations.
[09:56] ---
    I impress myself!
[09:58] ---
    According to my calculations, you've fallen somewhere around here.
[10:04] ---
    I'm right here, Sammy!
[10:08] ---
    You're a tenacious cat, Nii-san.
[10:10] ---
    You won't be able to get me with the same trick twice!
[10:13] ---
    Gajeel and them are probably about to dig up that part any second now! You have no chance!
[10:18] ---
    I don't know about that. These ruins are mined with various traps.
[10:22] ---
    Traps?!
[10:24] ---
    What the hell?
[10:26] ---
    I don't see anything that could be part of a clock.
[10:30] ---
    Hey, somethin's written on here.
[10:32] ---
    Um... It says, "I'm hungry."
[10:37] ---
    Hey!
[10:38] ---
    Here. Isn't this like the face of a clock?
[10:43] ---
    Then... it's indicating snack time?
[10:47] ---
    That's it!
[10:50] ---
    So we just gotta move this, right?
[11:00] ---
    I told you I've got more going for me than smarts alone!
[11:03] ---
    I study various forms of martial arts like this, too!
[11:08] ---
    Gajeel... Be careful!
[11:36] ---
    We finally found it!
[11:37] ---
    It's a clock face!
[11:42] ---
    What are you doing?!
[11:44] ---
    This thing's made of iron.
[11:47] ---
    Isn't there any other way you could've figured that out?
[11:50] ---
    Something's written on it.
[11:52] ---
    Let's see if I can decipher it.
[11:53] ---
    We don't got that kinda time!
[11:57] ---
    W-Wait!
[12:06] ---
    It says:
[12:07] ---
    "Warning! The stone guardian won't abide by anyone trying to steal this!"
[12:17] ---
    This is why I told you to wait! Careless blunderer!
[12:21] ---
    You're sayin' this is my fault?!
[12:22] ---
    Yes, it's your fault, Gajeel!
[12:24] ---
    This is no time to argue!
[12:26] ---
    It seems they've activated something.
[12:30] ---
    But this is also according to my calculations.
[12:32] ---
    You... That's why you separated me from Gajeel and the rest?!
[12:37] ---
    After all, you're strong and can fly, Nii-san.
[12:40] ---
    You're a troublesome opponent, so I had to keep you apart from them.
[12:49] ---
    It looks like that red thing on its head is what controls the rock!
[12:53] ---
    Then that must be its weak point!
[12:55] ---
    Alright! Time for Shadow Gear to show off some teamwork!
[13:00] ---
    First, we have to get it to stand still!
[13:02] ---
    Solid Script!
[13:04] ---
    Oil!
[13:10] ---
    I'm up next!
[13:12] ---
    Chain Plant!
[13:23] ---
    And I'll finish it off! High Speed!
[13:28] ---
    Did you see? That's Shadow Gear's teamwork!
[13:31] ---
    Not too shabby.
[13:37] ---
    Jet!
[13:37] ---
    Leave it to me!
[13:44] ---
    Are you okay?
[13:46] ---
    The oil is all sticky!
[13:48] ---
    Here it comes!
[13:50] ---
    Let's try this one more time!
[13:57] ---
    Jet!
[13:58] ---
    Crap! I can't use High Speed like this!
[14:03] ---
    Then I'll give it a try!
[14:17] ---
    I should've gone on a diet...
[14:22] ---
    It looks like I've got to do it...
[14:24] ---
    Get outta the way!
[14:26] ---
    You know, you shouldn't use that tone...
[14:39] ---
    There you go, Nii-san!
[14:41] ---
    Are you an Exceed that was sent to Earthland too?
[14:45] ---
    That's right. Just like your friends, Happy and Carla.
[14:49] ---
    Then why are you an ally of Legion?
[14:53] ---
    Don't you think you should talk to Happy and Carla, both of whom are in the same circumstances?!
[14:57] ---
    Right after I was born, I was found and raised by Zentopia.
[15:02] ---
    Byro-sama treated me well, too!
[15:05] ---
    More important to me than Exceeds or Edolas
[15:08] ---
    is repaying my obligation to Legion!
[15:18] ---
    Almost there!
[15:22] ---
    Gajeel!
[15:28] ---
    Gotta find a way to reach that head...
[15:34] ---
    Gajeel!
[15:35] ---
    This is all working out according to my calculations! I'm going to defeat you, Nii-san!
[15:39] ---
    And that thing is going to dispose of your friends!
[15:43] ---
    After that, the plan is for me to leisurely collect that part.
[15:47] ---
    Crap! My strength fails me when I got an empty stomach!
[15:52] ---
    That's right! If I eat this...
[15:54] ---
    What are you talking about?! Of course you can't eat that!
[15:57] ---
    Don't be so serious! I was kiddin'!
[15:59] ---
    That doesn't sound like a joke, not when you're involved!
[16:03] ---
    Run! That thing's trying to take the clock face back!
[16:08] ---
    If that's the case...
[16:11] ---
    ...you take it!
[16:13] ---
    What are you gonna do?!
[16:21] ---
    Go, Gajeel!
[16:22] ---
    What?!
[16:23] ---
    Secret Dragon Slayer Art!
[16:27] ---
    Karma Demon: Iron God Sword!
[16:36] ---
    I took care of this one! Now hurry up and finish him!
[16:40] ---
    I can't believe it... It's impossible!
[16:43] ---
    How can there be someone who doesn't match my calculations?!
[16:47] ---
    I don't know what to do when things don't go according to plans!
[16:51] ---
    Does not compute! Does not compute!
[16:55] ---
    Battle is a living thing. No matter what happens, you have to respond and cope with it.
[17:01] ---
    It seems you still have a lack of experience, Sammy.
[17:05] ---
    Don't call me that!
[17:08] ---
    You're wide open!
[17:22] ---
    You're not a bad fighter. Try me again sometime.
[17:26] ---
    I'll fight whenever you want.
[17:28] ---
    Certainly, I lost.
[17:31] ---
    Now I know that there are some people in the world whose actions I can't calculate.
[17:35] ---
    You realized you're inexperienced.
[17:37] ---
    I'm saying I didn't calculate enough before the battle, Nii-san!
[17:42] ---
    I lost today, but next time, I'll do more detailed calculations
[17:46] ---
    and then defeat you and your friends, you musclebound cat!
[17:50] ---
    That's right! I have to make note of all the data from today's battle!
[17:54] ---
    Who you callin' musclebound?!
[18:01] ---
    There are all types of Exceeds, huh?
[18:04] ---
    He called you "Nii-san"!
[18:07] ---
    I don't remember becoming his big brother!
[18:30] ---
    Look, Nee-chan! The lake...
[18:32] ---
    Lisanna must have found something.
[18:43] ---
    Good work, Lisanna.
[18:45] ---
    I haven't been seen much lately, so I thought I'd appeal to the people, you know?
[18:51] ---
    What does that mean?
[18:53] ---
    Well, let's collect this piece and take it back to the guild.
[19:00] ---
    Where did you throw that?!
[19:02] ---
    Huh?
[19:05] ---
    I appreciate your efforts. Thanks to this, I can just take the part without any trouble.
[19:11] ---
    You're...
[19:12] ---
    ...Mary Hughes from Legion!
[19:15] ---
    You were following us, weren't you?!
[19:17] ---
    That's right.
[19:18] ---
    What could be easier than letting you find the part and then snatching it?
[19:23] ---
    I'm so smart!
[19:25] ---
    Even though it was Samuel's idea...
[19:28] ---
    You again?! Give the part back!
[19:34] ---
    Crap!
[19:35] ---
    No matter what you do, the result will be the same.
[19:38] ---
    As long as I have this tact, you're the puppets of Mary Hughes.
[19:46] ---
    I'm surprised they don't get tired of that.
[19:49] ---
    I'm startin' to get hungry.
[19:52] ---
    You're such a pest!
[19:54] ---
    It's so I can be bound to my soul mate!
[19:57] ---
    What are you talking about, "soul mate"?! Before, you said any girl would do!
[20:01] ---
    This may be a silly question...
[20:03] ---
    But if any girl will do, wouldn't Michelle, who's right over there?
[20:09] ---
    Um...
[20:10] ---
    She's a beauty, but I like girls who are spunkier.
[20:17] ---
    True, Lucy is more of a tomboy, right?
[20:20] ---
    You insulted me like it's nothing!
[20:23] ---
    Shall I be punished, Princess?
[20:25] ---
    Lu-nyan! Wait for me!
[20:25] ---
    Virgo! What are you here for?!
[20:28] ---
    Come on! Lu-nyan! Let's get married!
[20:28] ---
    You looked like you were in trouble, so I thought maybe I could be of service...
[20:32] ---
    "Princess"? Then she's the princess of something?!
[20:37] ---
    I see! That's why she's so beautiful!
[20:41] ---
    What shall I do, Princess?
[20:45] ---
    Actually, there's nothing I really need you to do...
[20:49] ---
    Are you a maid?
[20:51] ---
    Then bring us some food or something, so I can have a good time with the one I love!
[20:56] ---
    I don't have any food prepared, but I could do a fun dance...
[21:01] ---
    That again?! Anyway, you don't have to listen to what Dan says!
[21:06] ---
    That's a lovely dance! It reminds me of a traditional dance back in my hometown!
[21:11] ---
    That's the first time anyone has ever complimented me on this dance.
[21:16] ---
    They've got the same taste?!
[21:17] ---
    Both of them are a little bit "off", right?
[21:20] ---
    It seems that I've been of service, so I'm going to disappear. Call me anytime.
[21:26] ---
    What did you come out for?!
[21:30] ---
    Dear me. I came to see what the outcome was...
[21:34] ---
    That voice... Byro-sama!
[21:36] ---
    That stupid octopus!
[21:41] ---
    It appears you've met unexpected difficulties, Dan, Coco.
[21:46] ---
    My apologies, Byro-sama!
[21:48] ---
    Dan Straight is embarrassed to admit this, but he's kind of lost sight of the objective.
[21:53] ---
    Having said that, I happened to come across my soul mate on this holy ground...
[21:59] ---
    Divine retribution?
[22:01] ---
    Both of you leave and contemplate your lack of competence.
[22:05] ---
    That's...
[22:07] ---
    ...Uncle Jude's...
[22:09] ---
    Octopus Man! That clock hand is Lucy's!
[22:13] ---
    If you don't give it back, I'm gonna beat the crap outta you!
[22:15] ---
    Yeah, you heard him!
[22:17] ---
    Fine. Come and get me.
[23:56] ---
    What the hell is with these people? Goin' on about holy grounds and stuff...
[24:01] ---
    Sounds like it's probably complicated, huh?
[24:03] ---
