**[00:01] ---**
The Grand Magic Games elimination
round! Sky Labyrinth...
**[00:05] ---**
Begin!
**[00:07] ---**
If this is a race, we better hurry up.
**[00:09] ---**
Yeah!
**[00:10] ---**
Wait!
**[00:12] ---**
What?!
**[00:13] ---**
He said all five members of the team
have to reach the goal together.
**[00:16] ---**
Wendy isn't back yet.
**[00:18] ---**
Oh, that's right!
**[00:19] ---**
Wendy!
**[00:21] ---**
Then what are we gonna do?!
**[00:23] ---**
Even with Wendy gone, you
got a Man right here.
**[02:01] ---**
Member change!
**[02:04] ---**
What superhuman strength!
**[02:06] ---**
Elf-nii-chan!
**[02:08] ---**
Guess we got no choice. I don't think
we have time to wait for Wendy!
**[02:12] ---**
We're in your hands, Elfman!
**[02:13] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[02:16] ---**
Lisanna! Happy!
**[02:19] ---**
What is it, Erza?!
**[02:21] ---**
Search for Wendy and Carla!
**[02:23] ---**
I just hope they haven't
got into any trouble...
**[02:27] ---**
Okay! I'll talk to our people!
**[02:30] ---**
Good luck, everyone!
**[02:40] ---**
Man!
**[02:42] ---**
There's the entrance to the labyrinth!
**[02:44] ---**
Nope! There's the entrance
to being number one in Fiore!
**[02:47] ---**
Let's go, Team Fairy Tail!
**[02:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[02:54] ---**
Sky Labyrinth!
**[02:59] ---**
Let's begin with an explanation
of the elimination round's rules.
**[03:03] ---**
This time around, there are 113 teams strong
participating in the Grand Magic Games.
**[03:08] ---**
The purpose of this elimination
round is to cut down
**[03:11] ---**
that number all at once to eight teams
who will compete in the Games proper.
**[03:16] ---**
The rules are simple.
**[03:18] ---**
All of the teams must go from
their inn to Sky Labyrinth
**[03:21] ---**
and make it from there to
Domus Flau, the Games arena.
**[03:24] ---**
The eight teams that arrive first
survive the elimination round
**[03:28] ---**
and will compete in the Games.
**[03:31] ---**
Furthermore, contestants are free to
use magic to get through the maze,
**[03:36] ---**
and there are no restrictions.
**[03:39] ---**
However...
**[03:41] ---**
...even if lives are lost in the Labyrinth,
**[03:44] ---**
The Grand Magic Games executive
committee assumes no responsibility!
**[03:49] ---**
So it's a three-dimensional maze in here...
**[03:53] ---**
I'm not good with stuff like this!
**[03:56] ---**
Get it together!
**[03:57] ---**
If we're not one of the
first eight teams to arrive,
**[03:59] ---**
forget about number one in Fiore,
because we'll be cut!
**[04:02] ---**
Yeah, right?!
**[04:04] ---**
We gotta get through here an' beat
those Sabertooth bastards to a pulp!
**[04:07] ---**
Let's get to the goal before they do!
**[04:10] ---**
A Man finishes the elimination
round in first place!
**[04:13] ---**
Basically, we should head east.
**[04:16] ---**
The arena is in that direction.
**[04:18] ---**
In that case, count on me!
**[04:20] ---**
Open! Gate of the Compass!
**[04:24] ---**
Pyxis!
**[04:29] ---**
Please, Pyxis! Tell us which way is east!
**[04:38] ---**
That way is east!
**[04:41] ---**
Sorry, Lucy.
**[04:43] ---**
I brought along a compass.
**[04:44] ---**
Pyxis... Good job.
**[04:51] ---**
Let's head east!
**[04:53] ---**
A Man charges straight through!
**[04:56] ---**
Be that as it may, we can't
just go straight east, can we?
**[05:01] ---**
Not the way this is constructed...
**[05:02] ---**
Is the roof folded back over?!
**[05:07] ---**
You're doing okay?
**[05:08] ---**
Yeah. I don't know why, but
I'm not feelin' sick at all.
**[05:13] ---**
I'll explain!
**[05:15] ---**
For the elimination round, this entire
Sky Labyrinth has been treated with magic
**[05:21] ---**
so even those with motion sickness or
fear of heights can compete fairly!
**[05:27] ---**
So it's like a Troia.
**[05:30] ---**
Maybe that means Natsu isn't the
only wizard with motion sickness!
**[05:34] ---**
That's just pathetic.
**[05:36] ---**
I can hear you two!
**[05:37] ---**
Anyway, let's keep going east!
**[05:39] ---**
Right!
**[05:45] ---**
What the hell is this?!
**[05:46] ---**
Just lookin' at it is making me dizzy!
**[05:49] ---**
I can't tell if that end is above or below!
**[05:53] ---**
Whichever! Let's go!
**[05:55] ---**
A Man doesn't hesitate, but charges ahead!
**[05:59] ---**
Still, how far does this thing go?
**[06:01] ---**
Don't worry about it!
**[06:02] ---**
At the end of it'll be the goal! Hey!
**[06:08] ---**
Get a hold of yourself!
**[06:10] ---**
What the hell's goin' on here?!
**[06:11] ---**
Like the name says, it's a labyrinth.
**[06:13] ---**
That reminds me of what he said about not
taking responsibility even if people die...
**[06:18] ---**
Falling from here, we'd end up on
the street in Crocus, headfirst.
**[06:23] ---**
Then we're supposed to choose
our path carefully, huh?
**[06:26] ---**
We ain't gonna get to the goal
by inspecting this whole place!
**[06:29] ---**
Let's just look around to the east!
**[06:33] ---**
I think it'd be a good idea
to take notes as we go.
**[06:36] ---**
Notes?
**[06:37] ---**
Like how we've gotten here
from the starting point...
**[06:40] ---**
What kind of places we've passed...
**[06:42] ---**
If we can't get a grip on where we are right
now, we won't be able to make progress easily.
**[06:45] ---**
Yeah, we can't just complain about it.
**[06:47] ---**
I see. She's talking about mapping the place.
**[06:50] ---**
Taking notes?!
**[06:53] ---**
I don't know one place from another!
**[06:56] ---**
Can't you get a whiff of the
goal or something, Natsu?
**[07:00] ---**
My nose isn't working.
**[07:02] ---**
Maybe that's due to the magic
cast in this labyrinth...
**[07:06] ---**
Every team has the same conditions.
**[07:08] ---**
Anyway, let's keep going!
**[07:13] ---**
Wendy-nee isn't with them?!
**[07:15] ---**
Isn't with them... You mean she's missing?
**[07:18] ---**
Carla isn't there either!
**[07:20] ---**
But the rule is there has to be five people!
**[07:23] ---**
So Natsu-nii and the rest will...
**[07:25] ---**
Elf-nii-chan suddenly filled in for her.
**[07:28] ---**
Elfman's in the elimination round?
**[07:30] ---**
Seriously?!
**[07:31] ---**
If I'd been there, maybe I would've been
able to be in the elimination round, too!
**[07:35] ---**
Uh, look...
**[07:36] ---**
The point is, we have to look for those two!
**[07:38] ---**
Romeo and Nabu, spread the word.
**[07:41] ---**
If we split up into teams and
stay in contact through Warren...
**[07:44] ---**
Even so, this is a huge city...
**[07:47] ---**
Got it!
**[07:49] ---**
I just hope they haven't gotten
caught up in some kind of trouble...
**[07:53] ---**
First, let's get back
to the rest of the gang.
**[07:55] ---**
I'm worried, but we have to make
an efficient search for them.
**[07:58] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:59] ---**
East is that way!
**[08:01] ---**
It's hard taking notes on this maze.
**[08:04] ---**
Yeah, 'cause every inch has
distinctive features...
**[08:08] ---**
Hey! Erza...
**[08:09] ---**
Yeah. I heard something, too.
**[08:13] ---**
You're the one that said it's this way!
**[08:16] ---**
What, it's my fault?!
**[08:18] ---**
Not that I care, but we've
already been this way once.
**[08:21] ---**
Right?! I knew it!
**[08:23] ---**
Anyway, we gotta keep goin'
or we'll run out of time!
**[08:26] ---**
Come to think of it...
**[08:28] ---**
The guys from the other guilds
are in here, too, right?
**[08:33] ---**
Hey. Are you serious?!
**[08:35] ---**
That mug...
**[08:36] ---**
Fairy Tail!
**[08:38] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[08:40] ---**
Those guys!
**[08:42] ---**
This guild is Twilight Ogre.
**[08:46] ---**
When Natsu and the others came back
home from Tenroujima after seven years,
**[08:50] ---**
this is the guild that threatened Fairy Tail.
**[08:54] ---**
With Natsu and the rest back in action, the
guild really put the hurt on them, but...
**[08:59] ---**
As always, they're a piss-poor lookin' guild!
**[09:03] ---**
Lame-o's!
**[09:04] ---**
I didn't expect you guys
to be participating, too.
**[09:07] ---**
I could say the same to you.
**[09:09] ---**
You're the one who's in the
guild that's perpetually last.
**[09:12] ---**
This year's Fairy Tail is different!
**[09:16] ---**
How so?!
**[09:18] ---**
Hey, wait a second! Are we gonna fight here?!
**[09:22] ---**
We're free to use magic in here!
There are no restrictions!
**[09:25] ---**
We'll crush you right here!
**[09:28] ---**
These dopes don't learn.
**[09:30] ---**
I'm fired up!
**[09:31] ---**
We're seriously gonna battle?!
**[09:33] ---**
The less rivals there are, the better.
**[09:35] ---**
Well, sure, but...
**[09:37] ---**
Who would've guessed we'd
run into 'em this quickly?!
**[09:40] ---**
Get 'em!
**[09:41] ---**
I'm gonna pay 'em back every
bit for that last time!
**[09:44] ---**
We got our eyes on...
**[09:47] ---**
...overthrowing Sabertooth!
**[09:49] ---**
That and bein' number one in Fiore!
**[09:52] ---**
You're in our way!
**[10:12] ---**
What the...?!
**[10:13] ---**
Hey-hey-hey-hey!
**[10:15] ---**
What is this?!
**[10:17] ---**
The floor... No, this is...
**[10:19] ---**
The entire labyrinth is rotating!
**[10:23] ---**
What?!
**[10:36] ---**
The entire labyrinth is rotating!
**[10:38] ---**
R-Rotating?!
**[10:42] ---**
What's that about?!
**[10:54] ---**
What the heck is that?!
**[10:56] ---**
Hey, don't tell me...
**[10:57] ---**
Lisanna, look!
**[10:59] ---**
Oh, no! People are falling!
**[11:02] ---**
You're disqualified if you're
outside the zone, right?
**[11:05] ---**
I hope Natsu is okay...
**[11:10] ---**
It's rotating on a Z-axis!
**[11:12] ---**
Everyone, move to the flank!
**[11:14] ---**
I'm already falling!
**[11:17] ---**
If only Happy were here...!
**[11:19] ---**
You don't need Happy!
**[11:26] ---**
You've got a Man here.
**[11:28] ---**
N-Nice catch!
**[11:31] ---**
Thanks, Elfman!
**[11:33] ---**
It was nothin'!
**[11:34] ---**
Are you guys okay?!
**[11:36] ---**
Yeah!
**[11:38] ---**
It's stopped.
**[11:40] ---**
But this is seriously screwed up.
What kind of contraption is this?
**[11:44] ---**
Remember, the idea is to take over 100
teams and narrow them down to eight.
**[11:48] ---**
This is a logical way.
**[11:50] ---**
And lots of teams were
just shaken right off...
**[11:55] ---**
Maybe I'll just quit...
**[12:02] ---**
What is this? A map?!
**[12:05] ---**
Looks like it...
**[12:06] ---**
That's a stroke of luck!
**[12:08] ---**
If we combine it with our notes,
it'll be an even more accurate map!
**[12:16] ---**
Hey! That's...
**[12:18] ---**
It's yours?
**[12:19] ---**
G-Give it back!
**[12:22] ---**
I refuse.
**[12:28] ---**
You are disqualified.
**[12:30] ---**
I see...
**[12:31] ---**
I'm starting to get an idea of how
this elimination round works...
**[12:35] ---**
Everyone, your eyes are scary!
**[12:42] ---**
The elimination round has revved
up into high gear at last.
**[12:46] ---**
And from here on in, it's
gonna get even crazier!
**[12:49] ---**
We'll pare down those teams
like nobody's business!
**[12:54] ---**
Then there's only one thing to do!
**[12:57] ---**
Steal maps from the other teams!
**[13:00] ---**
This is more of a battle than a race!
**[13:02] ---**
It's a Man's scramble for maps!
**[13:05] ---**
If it's a battle, that's right up our alley!
**[13:09] ---**
I'm taking this!
**[13:11] ---**
By all means!
**[13:13] ---**
Okay, this makes the sixth one!
**[13:17] ---**
I have no idea how to read this map!
**[13:20] ---**
Lucy's good at stuff like that.
**[13:25] ---**
Then let's bring all the maps
together and have Lucy decipher 'em!
**[13:29] ---**
Me?!
**[13:30] ---**
If you would.
**[13:31] ---**
Sure.
**[13:32] ---**
Give us...
**[13:34] ---**
...your maps!
**[13:36] ---**
I got three more teams' worth!
**[13:38] ---**
I've got seven teams' worth!
**[13:40] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[13:42] ---**
How cruel...
**[13:44] ---**
It's movin' again!
**[13:47] ---**
Hang on to something!
**[14:01] ---**
It stopped.
**[14:03] ---**
Alright! Let's get back to our map quest!
**[14:07] ---**
Max! Did you find out anything?!
**[14:09] ---**
No. There's the lateness of the hour for one
thing, and no relevant info at all out there...
**[14:14] ---**
I know, right?
**[14:15] ---**
Where the heck did you go, Wendy?!
**[14:18] ---**
We need to hurry up and find her so Natsu
and the rest can focus on the elimination round.
**[14:23] ---**
Well, Warren?
**[14:25] ---**
We're coming up clueless.
**[14:27] ---**
I think we've searched most of Crocus,
**[14:31] ---**
and I can't imagine she
would be in Domus Flau...
**[14:35] ---**
About all that leaves is the palace...
**[14:38] ---**
Now that you mention it...
**[14:39] ---**
What is it?
**[14:40] ---**
Carla said she was going to
sightseeing spots with Wendy...
**[14:45] ---**
Then... you don't think...
they could be in the palace?
**[14:49] ---**
Let's check it out!
**[14:51] ---**
Yeah!
**[14:53] ---**
Hmm... It's rotated around a bunch of times,
**[14:56] ---**
so I thought even if we kept heading for the
maze's east side, it would waste a lot of time.
**[15:02] ---**
So that's why we came to the center
part of the labyrinth, huh?
**[15:05] ---**
I figured doing that would make
it easy for us to locate east...
**[15:10] ---**
...but none of us could've guessed that the
central part was some wide open landscape...
**[15:16] ---**
And upside down on top of that...
**[15:19] ---**
The problem is there is no east or west here.
**[15:23] ---**
Even the compass has gotten dizzy.
**[15:26] ---**
Then we don't know which way to go...
**[15:30] ---**
But we can't afford to stand around either.
**[15:34] ---**
I was waiting for a time like this!
**[15:36] ---**
What are you going on about?
**[15:37] ---**
Is your head spinning too, Lucy?
**[15:40] ---**
No!
**[15:41] ---**
Open! Gate of the Compass! Pyxis!
**[15:51] ---**
That's the one from before...
**[15:54] ---**
It's scared of somethin'.
**[15:56] ---**
It's traumatized by Erza's compass.
**[15:58] ---**
It's my fault?!
**[16:00] ---**
Pyxis, this is your time to shine!
**[16:03] ---**
A compass is useless now!
**[16:07] ---**
Look. It just spins around.
**[16:09] ---**
Come on, we need your power!
**[16:12] ---**
I apologize for before. Will you help us?
**[16:17] ---**
It's got a weak mind, huh?
**[16:19] ---**
Can you blame it, goin' up against Erza?
**[16:21] ---**
Did you say something?!
**[16:23] ---**
Nope! Not a word!
**[16:30] ---**
East is that way!
**[16:32] ---**
That way... You mean up?!
**[16:34] ---**
You sure about this?!
**[16:35] ---**
Yeah! The power of a Celestial Spirit
is way stronger than just some compass!
**[16:41] ---**
How are we supposed to climb up there?!
**[16:44] ---**
It's obvious, isn't it?
**[16:45] ---**
This.
**[16:51] ---**
That's what you meant?!
**[17:01] ---**
There are birds...
**[17:03] ---**
This is a peaceful place.
**[17:04] ---**
I've been tossed around every which way,
**[17:07] ---**
but I can't stand the idea of
failing this elimination round now.
**[17:11] ---**
What are you lying around
for? We're still in a race.
**[17:15] ---**
Hurry! Let's aim for first
place in this round!
**[17:17] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:17] ---**
Man!
**[17:26] ---**
Yeesh! What the hell is
this?! Now it's the sea?!
**[17:30] ---**
How far does this go?!
**[17:32] ---**
Calm down and look carefully!
**[17:34] ---**
That sky is a fake. It's painted onto a wall!
**[17:37] ---**
Then...
**[17:38] ---**
...we've reached the end of this path...
**[17:41] ---**
...and that's the goal?!
**[17:43] ---**
Alright! Last spurt!
**[17:46] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:57] ---**
This is the palace of the king of Fiore?
**[18:00] ---**
The Flower Light Palace, Mercurius...
**[18:02] ---**
This is my first time seeing it.
**[18:04] ---**
Me too!
**[18:07] ---**
Hey, you two!
**[18:08] ---**
What are you doing here
at this time of night?!
**[18:10] ---**
Excuse me.
**[18:11] ---**
Actually, someone from our guild who was
meant to participate in the elimination round
**[18:15] ---**
of the Grand Magic Games has gone missing.
**[18:17] ---**
We looked all over Crocus. This is
the last place we haven't checked.
**[18:23] ---**
Hey!
**[18:25] ---**
R-Right...
**[18:28] ---**
His Majesty is also looking forward
to the Grand Magic Games...
**[18:32] ---**
You can look in the courtyard.
**[18:34] ---**
We can go in?!
**[18:37] ---**
What'd you say?! Are you serious?!
**[18:39] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[18:41] ---**
Happy and Lisanna just went into the palace!
**[18:45] ---**
I've never even been in there!
**[18:47] ---**
I'm surprised they let us in, you know?
**[18:50] ---**
The garden is open to the
public for sightseeing.
**[18:54] ---**
Let's split up here.
**[18:56] ---**
Got it. If anything happens,
relay it to Warren.
**[18:59] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[19:01] ---**
Roger! We're on our way
to Mercurius right now!
**[19:05] ---**
I just hope they're safe...
**[19:07] ---**
Trouble from the elimination round already?
I can tell this is going to be hard going...
**[19:17] ---**
Elfman Strauss!
**[19:20] ---**
Erza Scarlet!
**[19:22] ---**
Gray Fullbuster!
**[19:25] ---**
Lucy Heartfilia!
**[19:27] ---**
Natsu Dragneel...
**[19:31] ---**
Congratulations! You passed
the elimination round!
**[19:36] ---**
Well, of course. It went smooth as silk.
**[19:39] ---**
Are we in first place?!
**[19:43] ---**
No. Eighth.
**[19:46] ---**
You barely made it.
**[19:50] ---**
What?!
**[20:01] ---**
So, our eight teams are all present!
**[20:05] ---**
Sky Labyrinth, the elimination round
of the Grand Magic Games, is over!
**[20:11] ---**
How did Natsu and the rest do?!
**[20:13] ---**
Which guilds are going on to the real Games?!
**[20:16] ---**
Which guilds are going to
participate in the real Games?
**[20:19] ---**
You'll find out at the opening ceremony!
**[20:24] ---**
Why not tell us now?! Miser!
**[20:27] ---**
I see! The elimination
round is already finished.
**[20:32] ---**
Happy! Is something wrong?
**[20:35] ---**
Th-That...
**[20:39] ---**
No... It can't be...
**[20:46] ---**
Wendy's bag...
**[20:50] ---**
Where's Carla? Where's Wendy?
**[20:52] ---**
Calm down. Let's look for them around here.
**[20:55] ---**
Right.
**[20:56] ---**
Come on!
**[20:57] ---**
Aye!
**[21:05] ---**
What's that?! You found them?!
**[21:08] ---**
Are they okay?!
**[21:09] ---**
Actually, they're both unconscious!
**[21:12] ---**
Hurry up and call someone, Warren!
**[21:15] ---**
Carla! It's me! Wake up!
**[21:19] ---**
It doesn't look like she's injured,
**[21:21] ---**
but it's strange... I hardly
sense any magic power from Wendy.
**[21:26] ---**
It's the same with Carla! What should we do?!
**[21:34] ---**
She's awake!
**[21:35] ---**
Wendy! What happened?!
**[21:40] ---**
No!
**[21:40] ---**
Wendy, it's me! It's Lisanna!
Do you remember me?!
**[21:45] ---**
I'm here, too!
**[21:47] ---**
Happy... Lisanna-san...
**[21:51] ---**
What happened...
**[21:53] ---**
...to me...?
**[21:55] ---**
You tell us! What happened?!
**[21:59] ---**
We were...
**[22:01] ---**
The elimination round of
the Grand Magic Games...
**[22:03] ---**
Elfman stepped up in place of Wendy.
**[22:06] ---**
Natsu and the rest barely managed
to make it through the round.
**[22:10] ---**
And...
**[22:12] ---**
...the Grand Magic Games proper
are about to begin at last.
**[22:16] ---**
What will become
**[22:18] ---**
of Team Natsu's battle to dethrone
Sabertooth and become Fiore's number one guild?
**[23:56] ---**
The elimination round of the Grand
Magic Games! You came in last, huh?
**[23:59] ---**
There's gotta be some mistake.
**[24:00] ---**
You came in last.
**[24:02] ---**
Oh, shut up! We passed it and
that's all that matters, right?
**[24:04] ---**
Now we just gotta take down places
one through seven all at once!
**[24:06] ---**
All at once?
**[24:08] ---**
There are five people on a team
and eight teams total, right?
**[24:10] ---**
Um... So we just gotta beat 40 people!
**[24:14] ---**
Next time: New Guild!
**[24:16] ---**
I'm impressed you can multiply,
**[24:18] ---**
but according to your calculation,
you'll be fighting yourself, too!
**[24:20] ---**
Then make it 39 people!
**[24:22] ---**
Then you'll be fighting
your... Oh, never mind.
**[24:24] ---**
